The Reverse in Virginia.

Our city was thrown into quite a state of ex
element on Monday morning last, by the intel
lgence of the defeat and retreat OF General
Banks, and the still more alarming report that
the enemy hal broken through our lines and
was ma rching with an overwhelming force on
Washington. That Gen. Banks might have
been defeated, in the reduced and weakened
&c ndition of his division, we could well imagine ;
bat that Beauregard had evacuated Richmond
with his entire, evaded Mcclellan, and was
threatening Washington, we did not for mo-
III oment credit.
Later accounts have entirely modified the
alarming points of the first dispatches ofSun-
day night. 1t seeas that Gen Banka' force
until il hardly reached 4000 men. The rebel
Generals johnson, Jackson and Ewell in the
Shenandoah valley knew this, and Joined their
forces and laid their plans to capture Baak5
some Is, 600 or 10000 men, and they we're only
prevented from accomplishing their object by
the very mastery and expeditions retreat OF
Gen. Banks.
We publish elsewhere full accounts of the at
fair. The loss of the Union forces by this re-
verse we are not yet informed of, although Gen.
Banks reports it as serious.
The rebels pursued our force as far as Win
chester, whence they returned probably as fast
as they came northward. They were not III
force or condition TO run the risk OF having their
retreat cut off by the Union troops which might
in a short have been sent for that purpose.
There is no doubt but that this reverse, tenn.
porary and slight though it is, will be benefi.
cial to the Union cause. A series of successes
had rendered us rather careless and neglectful
Of the minor points Of operation. All eyes were
turned towards Richmond and Corinth We
had come to think that the rebellion was so near.
~ crushed out that we could afford TO indulge
in lenieney toward and sympathy for the rebels
Many thought we ought already to begin tC
humor them by making a more general and
strenuous attempt to catch their fugitive slaves
and return them. The shareholders of Mary.
land and Virginia thronged Washington by the
hundreds demanding the capture and return OF
heir fugitive slaves from every officer of the
Government, from the President down to the
lowest deputy Marshal of the District.
This reverse, together with the rebel atroc
ties and barbarities perpetrated upon our sick
and wounded soldiers, will have the effect &c
open our eyes to the truth and significance o.
the motto that Liberty is the reward of eter
nal vigilance"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The great object of the remnants of the de-
funct democracy-the few demagogues and ed
itors who still survive-seemS to be to write
and talk the party into resurrection. In the
the accomplishment of this object, it does not
seem to consider it necessary to say or do any
thing for ITSELF but it proposes to accomplish
all by a systematic and continuous libel of the
Republican party. Misrepresentation and false
hood upon every subject, and concerning every
act of the administration, these men think are
going to resusctate the Democratic party
They imagine that by some unknown means
the Union is going to be restored, and every
thing else put back into the old ways Hence
their anxiety to propitiate the rebels The
strength of the dead democracy has always been
in the most ultra slave states. and these would
be resUrrectionlsts, still think that their main
reliance must be found among the rebels
A few Democratic members of Congress, in
this hour of the countr'ys peril, when it's saliva
ton or preservation hangs trembling in the
balance, can find no better occupation-no bet
ter way to serve their constituents and their
country, than TO devote their time to labored
effort to re-organize the party--to infuse, if
possible, more partizan feeling into the minds
of the people. They are not contens to save
the country first, and then enter the lists for
party supremacy. They 60 the other way 70
work, acting their old principle of party frst
and country aiterward. Their idea seems to
be to reyiVify ard establish the party first land
then save the country. Unless they can accom-
plish the former, they seem to have very little
regard fos the latter. They viii not, as they
might, learn lesson of patriotism from the par
~ they are trying so hard to destroy.
The Republican party from its first advent to
powerful amost-and was willing to. entirely
ignore party preferences and party lines in
its efforts TO preserve tbs Union and the con-
stitution. But how does democracy meet and
respond to this eminently patriotic action p
Just as the southern rebels meet our acts of
Iemeney aud forbearancei by making use of
them to gain advantage over US. The Union
soldier brought water to the ounded and dy-
ing rebel tore to pieces his own shirt to staunch
and bind up his wounds, and when revived
placed him in comfortable position. After all |
TINS, as the benevolent and kind hearted soldier |
turned away to rejoin his company, the rebel
Ingrste whose life he had saved, coolly drew a |
pistol from bis pocket and shot him dead. The |
incident is fair illustration of the course of
the two parties. While one pursues course
amlnenty generous, and self sacrificing. the
'ther displays only the most bitter ha tred and
hostility

The President of the United States has called up
On our state for another regiment of volunteers to
Join the army of the nation. The army of the re-

points, their territory is surrounded; they have
been beaten in many hard fought battle yet,
while the enb OF this rebellion seems TO be ap
preaching, under the firm grasp of our govern
ment, every foot of ground is yet being contest
cd as our forces advance, and guerrilla bands
swarm over portions of the recovered territory.
Hence, the President deems it necessary to in.
crease the army His appeal will not be in vain
The more speedily the additional force is raised
the sooner the rebellion will be suppressed.
Men of Wisconsin, appealto you to come for
ward and rally around the flag of our country, for
its aid and support, and for the aid and support o
our brothers now in arms against the fierce and
desperate battalons of the enemy. Wisconsin has

The RESPoNSE.--The call for more troops
issued by the President few days since, has
met with the response that might have been
anticipated from the loyal states. 1t is crafty
ing to see that Notwithstanding all that has
been done already, and all that has been suf-
fered and endured, at the first intimation of the
necessity OF still further enlistments, and furth-
er sacrifices in this war for the Union, States
and men respond with the same alacrity and
with the same enthusiasm that they did year
ago when the first call was made for the defence
New York, Pennsylvania and New England as
being nearest the theatre ofaction or need, have
responded nobly. Old Massachusetts, never fall
ters in her loyalty to the Union. In "a hours
after Gov. Andrews received the call for more
men, 1000 men had gathered and arrived in
Boston, armed and equipped and one regiment
had started for Washington. Other states may
be as loyal, but none are more prompt than the
Old Bay State.
We publish elsewhere the proclamation of
Gov. Solomon of our own Slate for another
Regiment, and we doubt not it will be respond.
ed to with alacrity. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois.
and Iowa have also responded as nobly and
and unhesitatingly.
