TuE RETIRING REBELS.

The Rebels in lower Virginia during Saturday
night hastily evacuated their strong line of
fortiiications at Yorktown retreating up the
Peninsula toward Richmond. Of course, they
carried off many of their guns and stores, but
left number of heavy siege pieces, with q
considerable amount of camp equipage and
ordnance stored. We presume they have
retreated to new and stronger line Of deienses,
which they have been constructing while Gen.
NJ CleIan was preparing to take that before
which he had set down. We wish they had
staid and tried conclusions at Yorktown, though
the retrograde movement must tend to demoral-
ize their rank and file, beside depicting their
scanty stores. Gen. Mcclellan would probably
have opened fire on them this morning had they
remained. He will follow them up steadily and
bring them to a speedy issue if possible; and
it may be that they will find an unexpected
obstacle in the way Of their retreat in the force
OF Gen. Franklin, which, having never landed
from the transports, was ready to start in im.
mediate pursuit, and was moved at once by
Gen. Mcclellan toward West Point.
! We have the authority of the War Depart
nent for contradicting the report that Beau
regard is evacuatiDg Corinth. 1t may then be
his intention to lead the better portion Of bis
army by rail in desperate effort to recover
New-O Orleans. This, however, involves the sur.
render of his present liae of defense with Mem.
pbis and Arkansas to Gen. Halleck; and
while we do not decide that he will or will
not try it, would be confession that hi,
cause is hopeless.
The last pretense of the Rebel organs has
been that, though we were successful on The
seacOast and the great rivers by means Of our
gunboats, they were our masters on firm, dry
land. But Dranesvle, Mil Spring, Pea
Ridge, and Winchester were strictly land.bat.
ties; while at Fort DOnelson, the gunboats,
though bragely fought, contributed little OF
nothing to the rebel discontinue. At Pitts
burg Landing, the gunboats helped save us
from rout the first day, but did not help win the
Union triumph of Monday. And now, if Beaure-
gard shuns fight at COrinth, and JEFF. Davis
|
runs from behind bis intrenchments at York
town, how will it be possible to make the
great body of the rebel soldiery longer believe
| that they are the more effective cOmbatants on
dry land IL If they are, why not fight! Can
they expect to win by perpetual running {?
Large as their territory is (we mean ,oas) it
will be all gone if they keep retreating in
every quarter.
The War has now been over year in pro-
gress, and has been signalized by not less than
hundred distinct colnbats of greater or less
consequence. Can any one say where, during
this year of fighting, Rebel army has once
offered battle on equal ground to an equal
number of UniOnsts We cannot.

STATE OF THE MARKETS

Government Stocks were buoyant and active on
Saturday, and for the first time since the commence
mspt of the rebellion went up to par. The event
was hailed with cheers in the Board. The Fives Of
1874 touched 93 an advance of 81 y cent over Fri
day; and there was corresponding buoyancy in all
the issues except 7.3O Notes, which are kept at
about 1929 by the fresh supplies received by
the ub-Treasurer. In exchange there was a
considerable amount Of business done, partly on
speculation, and rates ruled at ll30ll3l for
Sterling. Freghts firmer, bit very quiet:
70 Liverpool, engagements of $1,000 bushels Of
Wheat at Sd, in bulk and in bags; 500 bbls. of
Flour at 2s. 4Id. as. cd The business OF the Sub
Treasury WAS: Receipts, 5000, ,3o2; for Customs,
$l35 600; Payments, $5,2 ,Sl4; Balance, Sl5,i1-
I07. The market for Western and State Flour was
quiet but without essential change. Sales Of 8, 500
bbIs at s. 050s5 Is for superine State ard West
ern; S. 256$5 35 for extra State. There is little
more inquiry for Wheat, for milling purposes, bu;
the market lacks activity in the absence of suf-
eent assortment for shipping. Sales of 300 bushels
Red State at 81 81; $500 do. mixed Western at
81 2l $500 do. Canada Club at 81 10. The de-
and for Pork is limited and the market on oAtur
day closed heavy; sales OF 675 bbls at $l2 b2d
sl2 10 for Mess; sl0d$l0 IS for Prime There
WAS only moderate business doing in Cotton, an
prices remain nominal at 81 27} cents for Miidiug
Upands, and DO. NewOrleans and Texas.
