THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA.

As the smoke of the battle field slowly rolls
away, and the facts are collected together, it
is gratifying to perceive that the recent
bloody engagement between the forces of
Gen. Pope and StoDewall Jackson, resulted
in the discontinue of the rebel commander,
and substantial Union triumph. For once,
the brilliant rebel strategist has been foiled,
and his prestige sadly impaired. Starting
with large and splendidly equipped force of
picked men, with the object of again pene-
trating the Shenandoah valley, and opening
its rich granaries that their contents might be
taken down to Richmond to sustain jeff Da-
Wis furnishing troops, and thinking it an easy
lob to fall suddenly upon the separate detach-
ments of Banks and Sigel and scatter them
hke:chaff. He fell first upon Banks column
of 1000 with a force of 10000 strong. But
the hardy bravery of our troops and the skill
of their commander held him at bay for hours
compelling him to virtually admit at the
close of the day that he had been worsted,
since he sent flag of truce to Banks, asking
leave to come within the Federal lines to col
lect and bury his dead BY a rapid concen-
tration of our forces upon the menaced point,
Banks was so far reinforced as to enable our
aamy to assume offensive operations, result
ing finally in the retreat of jackson, pursued
by our cavalry and artillery.
This check OF jackson is serious stroke to
the rebels. TITS damaging defeat. 1t starts
them out of the rich, central, grain bearing
portions of Virginia, and coops them up in
Richmond away from their supplies. N Id,
Now for the fresh troops. Let the new
regiments be sent on at once, to reinforce
Nc Clellan and swell the advancing columns
of Pope, and the rebel army in Virginia must
soon be driven beyond its borders or bagged.
We trust the latter is to be its fate
Much speculation has been INDUCED in as
to the whereabouts of Burnside during the
progress Of the engagement. He was known
to be at Fredericksburg or near that place
with large force, and it is not improbable
that he may yet be heard from in the rear of
the retreating columns of Jackson. 1t would
electrify the country to hear that jackson
was surrounded and captured. So mote it
be.

THE RATTLE A VICTORY, AND WHY.

The MENDELssoHN QUINTETTE CLUB.
The Burlington Free Press of Tuesday,
notices the Concert by the Quintette Club
as follows. 1t will be borne in mind that
the same company gives a concert in this
place on the 18th inst.
"The Town Hall was filled yesterday
evening, with an audience of we'll pleased
listeners to the delightful music of the
Quintette Club. These artists showed
that their wide reputation is well deserv-
ed. We do not remember ever to have
heard an orchestra of the size which dis
played so much ability and genius. Each
of the gentlemen comprising it is mas
ter of his instrument, and the five togeth-
are masters of all music.
The selections for the evening were al
most entirely classical, and were rendered
with skill deserving of the highest praise.
The concert pieces were well chosen and
better performed, and the solo performan-
ces fine, without exception.
No orchestra is quite complete, in our
opinion without well played brass instru-
ment or two, but the Mendelssohn Quin-
tette Club come as near perfection, as
with that exception is possible.

THE BATTLE A VICTORY.
The special correspondent Of the New
York Herald, writing from the battle field

Inc rpccih CORRESPONDENT " 'ho t'N"
York Herald, writing from the battle field
says;
THE BATTLE A VICTORY, AND WHY.
The victory has been complete, though l
am aware that many newspaper writers here
look upon the issue of Saturdays fight as a
disastrous defeat, simply because, at the set
ting in Of darkness, our forces retired halt
mile to the rear. But the enemy did pre-
cisely the some thing. On Sunday morning,
however, We advanced again, and took up
our position upon the field and commenced
burying our own and the rebel dead. Moth
ing but rebel pickets were to be seen IN the
vicinity all day Sunday no batteries opened
upon us, and in the course OF the day Cen
jackson sent in flag Of truce to ask per-
mission TO bury his dead-a favor not gener-
ally asked by victor of his Vanquished foe.
Ii is true, also, that when our troops retired
from the wood TO escape the enemys shells,
which their camp fires had invited, they did
so in some haste; but ii was not panic or
Anything of sach a nature, The enemy's
guns were posted high above our own, and
out OF our reach; and to remain in such a
position would have been suicide. Conse-
duently they retired individually, but not in
disorder. As to our losing a couple OF PIE
ces OF artillery, the story is all the purest hc-
ton. We captured two from the enemy.
The same correspondent also says that
Gen. jackson wa. slightly wounded in the
hand. Gen. Winder was killed in the fight,
and Gen. Sexton is MORALLY wounded.

NeW Mexican N1nfterx,

Among mass Of matter published in our
columns some weeks since relative to affairs
in New Mexico, We are now convinced that
injustice WIS done to the standing and position
of Hon Kirby Benedict, Chief Justice Of the
Supreme Court Of that Territory. In the 70
luminous correspondence that we secure as
the prompt and special vehicle Of news, we are
somewhat at the mercy Of our correspondents,
since We have no means to correct the inforua-
ton they furnish and can only rely upon our
knowledge Of the writer's themselves, and their
Judgment, for fairness and discretion. If we
are sometimes deceived NC can only regret it.
In the case of Judge Benedict the imputation
Of disloya1ty will not attach to him, aud if VIC
had no other evidence, We should ask no better
than The words Of the resolution, passed by the
House Of Representatives Of New Mexico,
pronouncing him "constant and decided in
his opposition to the said rebellion and its OBJ
jects, and e1erting all his authority to main
tain the Union, the Government, laws and
Administration in this Territory, and among
her people ia record than which no LOYAL
man could desire better.

John Stuart Mill, perhaps now the ablest Of
English loglcians and reasoners, and also q
political reformer on rational principles, haa
published second article in the last number
Of FFaze''s Magazine, in which he handles the
Southern seceders with the various weapons
OF argument, precedent, policy, history, law,
and satire. 1t is entitled I" On the Civil War
in America" and must be taken as a tribute
at once powerful, voluntary and unanswera,
bic, to the good cause Of Constitutional Coy
ernmcnt.
The Liverpool Daily Rast, one Of the ablest
and most popular Of English provincial jour
nails, characterizes the capture of Fort Donel-
son as "a splendid affair." and says "both
sides fought well, and the losses are more in
proportion than IN any European battle In
which the same number Of men hare been en-
gagged" It adds, sit can hardly be denied
that the operations evince unity and coin-
cidence Of design which does much to elevate
the var in military point Of view, as well as
to improve the prospects OF the Fcdera1s, to
add to their trophies in prisoners and mater::-
al, and to give them something really credita-
bic to date ffom.''
