The evacuation OF Manassas, must fgurt
IN history as most remarkable military
achievement-even ii il Is not made more
memorable to us by tbs destruction OF the
gallant Burnside and his little army. A
gentleman Of thorough military education,
and who has seen servicein Europe, calls
il, in letter which lies before us AN
atiheard of event in the whole history oil
warfare, that an army OF two hundred
thousand men should suffer an enemy of
comparatively small numbers, encanpsd
cnly thirty miles of, to slip through its
fingers The writer continues "You
should know that il this rebel force had
been caught or destroyed. that was an end
to your rebellion - because though your
rebels might get more men, they could
not replace the cannon and arms which
they ought to have lost. and which they
have now carried of with them"
This is the verdict of an impartial and
competent observer. Hshould secure tho
promotion Of the rebel General who had
be tact to get away from our grasp, with
u the cannon, the supplies, the immense
esourcss gathered at Manassas to equip
be largest and most important army of
be rebels, and to lose whia would have
cen fatal blow to their hopes.
To fall upon and destroy the Confeder-
% army At Manassas would certainly
ave made the war "short but severe. -
lhe escape which became known only
sterday prolongs the struggle perhaps
months. Manassas was admirabls as
oteDsiye position, but useless for de-
nSe, because its communications and
~ were accessible, and because the army
tacking 1t would be but thirty miles
pm Its base ofoperations. In an snemy's
antry railroads are useless to rs: and
problem now before us is 70 advance
"a great army, not thirty, 7, bun prob
y sixty, perhaps hundred miles from
base, to the point, where the shrewd
pmy may choose to wait for us.
Meantime. We think 1t right to say
our readers that the fear Of Burn
- safety which is so oppressively fel.
e, equally weighs upon the minds Of
b officers in Washington. 1t is thought
many, that large detachment Of the
y OF Manassas may, if it pleases, fall
n Burnside and crush him before re.
rcements can get to him. We have
to hope that the gallant hero of Ro-
xe will keep in the neighborhood Of
gunboats, whose fire can save him. II

The Memphis union appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1862-1862, 1862-07-30

There are few divines who can more deeply
feel the sentiment Cf the patriarch, when he
sadly said his children had brought his grey
hairs in sorrow to the grave, than the Rev.
Robert. J. Breckenridge. Two of mis- sons are
actively serving in the rebel army, and one Of
them is member of Morgan's marauders.
But the old patriot is as firm, as undaunted,
as unconquerable, as his master, John Knox.
His eye still spsrkles for his country with the
light of vigorous manhood, his step is still firm,
and his courage is all that Kentucky demands
of her sons. What brilliant page of the his
tory of this Southern rebellion have the deeds
of this noble Kentuckian written. His name
is henored wherever freedom, under the re-
straints of law, is recognized as q blessing to
man, and will be as eternal as the Alleghanies
which tower toward the heavens. The Nor
gan pirates made many efforts to steal this re-
nownsd Kentuckian in their recent piratisal
excursion Il Louisville Journal

The Stann Act.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-There is very gen
eral mlsapprehension with regard to the act
authorizing the payment in stamps, and to
prohibit the circulation of notes of less de-
nomination than one dollar which was ap-
proved July 18th inst. Under the provision
Of this act the Secretary of the Treasury, and
not the Postmaster General, is directed to fur
nish postage and other stamps to the Assistant
Treasurers and such designated repositories of
the United States as the former may select, to
be exchanged by them on application, for
United States notes.
From and after the first day of August next
such stamps shall be received in payment of
all dues to the United States less than five dol
lars, and shall be received in exchange for
United States notes when presented in sums
of not less than five dollars to any Assistant
Treasurer or designated depository, selected as
aforessl. a
Hence this law does not make stamps legal
tender, nor does it require postmasters to re-
ceive them in exchange for United States
notes. rs-r-far 40 ~ IS
! 1t is expected that the Secretary will fur
nish postage stamps to be used as a circulating
medium under the law in such form that they
cannot be attached to letters or other mailable
| matter ra a#
Such stamps will be exchanged by postmas-
ters for the regular stamps, besides being re-
deemable by Treasury netes by the assistant
Treasurer and such designated repositories as
the Secretary of the Treasury may select.
No postage stamps can be exchanged at
post offices or redeemed by the Treasury De-
partment unless furnished through the agen-
cies of the Department.
Postage stamps now sold by postmasters are
not exchangeable or redeemable by them, and
if such stamps are gummed to pasteboard or
some other paper which soils or renders them
unfit to be used in payment of postage, they
will be rejected for postage, because when so
soiled they cannot be distinguished from
stamps which have been used for postage
It is understood that the postage stamps
will in no case be redeemed by the Post
Office Department or the Treasury if so
changed or altered by pasting on other paper
or otherwise, as to render them unfit for post
age uses.
This is absolutely necessary to prevent
, frauds. Already defaced postage stamps are
being bought up and passed at their nominal
value, after having the defaced ink extracted
and being pasted on paper to conceal the los:
of the gam.

Editor and Proprietor
Gen. wallace .I m Pourhke.p.,e.

Gen Lew. Wallace attended war meeting
"a Poughkeepsie, n. Y, on Saturday last, and
being called upon for speech, in response,
said that if any State in the Union should be
foremost in her devotion to the Union and
her efforts to defend it, New York should
when her very soil showed so many incentives
to patriotism and courage. He urged the
young men and the middle-aged to come for
ward and uphold the honor of the East, that
1t might not be disgraced by failure in Vir-
ginia, while the Army of the Southwest was
pursuing victoriously its routed enemies Gen.
Wallace also said none should be deferred
from assisting by the manner in which the
war was prosecuted Milk and water was at
an end, and henceforth we were to make war
No one need hang back for fear they were to
be used to guard rebel property or to return
rebel slaves; that sort of business was over
Besides, the negroes themselves were to be en-
| ployed in all such places as they were capable
of filling, and he for one believed they ought
to be. The idea that they could not be OBJ
| tanned, he said, was preposterous. On the
march to Memphis, he could have obtained
/ for the asking three times as many stout able
bodied, willing black men, as he had white
men in his entire Division. The General closed
| with an urgent appeal to all to come forward
and aid in upholding our glorious flag against
the assaults of the enemy. His address was
listened to with marked attention, and inter
rupted by frequent and long continued APP
plause. A couple of incidents of the heroism
of our soldiers were related by the General, as
follows: At the battle of Pittsburg Landing
our regiment was pursuing the enemy, who
was retiring, when / came to man lying by
tree, shot through both knees. He gave me
an imploring look. A soldier said, "Shall ]
carry him to the rear 2" l said, "Ne, not till
the battle is over" The wounded man said
that's right, General, and when we came
back, he was dead. And as passed on, saw
a soldier coming back to wounded man. ]
asked him what he wanted. He said, a. am
out of cartridges. The wounded man rolled
over and took off his cartridge box, and hand
ed it to the soldier and said now kill some.
body with them.' That is the spirit of ouI
soldiers.
