Failure to Follow up Chr Advantages:

The most casual observer Of war events
must have noticed the lamentable fact that
our army never is enabled to follow up VIC
tory, by pursuit of the foe. The mere falling
back of an army, with all its material, is not
necessarily defeat; it may, in fact, be a mere
vancouver, mere change Of position for the
better.
The battle CT kutietan1 seems to be no eE-
ception to this never failing misfortune OF ours.
To-day the armies face each other from the
two banks of the Potomac, and our army, ap-
parently, is as unable to force a crossing Of
that stream as it was TO make entrance into
Richmond. All accounts agree that the rebels
retired deliberately, carrying off all their guns,
ammunition, and provisions, and that at least
twenty four hours were allowed them in which
unmulested, to accomplish then retreat. SO
far as We can Judge, the rebel force is now as
well able to cope with Us as before the terrible
battles of South Mountain and Antietam.-
And, in fact, in better condition for another
conflict, as now it has the country of Virginia
| in its rear from which to draw supplies, and
without fear OF a rise of the Potomac to cut
off retreat.
On the score of capturers, the rebels arc
ahead of US. Harper's Ferry gave them
twelve Thousand prisoners, seventy pieces Of
c II i C h now point
their mouths at us from the fortif-
cations at Williamsport, twelve thousand
stand Of small arms, and an untold amount of
ammunition and provisions. And what have
we gained? Some fifteen hundred prisoners
and few guns. Our army drove them from
Maryland, it is true, but they threaten that
State still, apd, apparently, ale as well able to
make an incursfon into it as our army is to
make one into Virginia. OF the escape of the
rebels across the Potomac an army officer
writes to the New York Times:
There is a feeling of great chagrin in the
arn7 which is generally shared by officers and
men, that the enemy should have escaped with
almost his whole material and army train into
Virginia, whether we must now follow and
fight him, under The same disadvantages which
hute hitherto marked the career Of the Union

T q Z RAIN.
By ANNIE

By ANNIE
Here's the rain the rain;
The welcome, welcome rain;
So long we've sighed and waited,
For its son, melSdfous strain
For its sweet voice ia the valleys,
And its murmurs long the shore,
But it's falling, gently falling,
And We rejoice once more.
HereAa TIE rain, the rain;
The eOoI, refreshing rain!
gEzoN II splAshes, how it dashes,
sGainst my chamber windows pour;
And it echoes back my laughter,
As we sit and gaze without,
And watch the bright drops dancing,
And sparkling all about.
Here's the rain, the rain;
The tender, dripping rain;
o, the ncWerslft up so gladly,
Their dropping heads again;
And the tall trees in the forests,
Spread their arms with joy to greet,
The tiny, silver droPlets,
Coming down so pure and sweet.
Here's the rain, the rain;
The welcome, welcome rain;
Thanks be to Him who sends It
On our thirsty land again
with its soft, melOdious music,
And ils silent, quickening power,
Calling back the life and beauty,
To each dropping tree and flower.
