The news from the Army of the Potomac,
indicates important movements near at hand,
and we think many days will not elapse be-
fore battle takes place in the valley. As q
strategic movement, the line of our operations
has been extended considerably, but our
original base lines on the Valley and on the
sonthside Of the Blue Ridge have not been
materially changed.
There is arumor that Gen. Jackson has had
an engagement with Gen. Burnside, in which
the latter suffered defeat, but we can gather
nothing Of a reliable character concerning
the reported battle.

are wading through seas of blood to sub
vert and destroy il. Future generations
will with difficulty realize that there could
have been hesitation on this point. Sixty
years of general and boundless subservien
cy to the Slave Power do not adequately
explain it.
Mr. President, beseech you to open
your eyes to the fact that the devotees of
slavery everywhere-iusta as much in Mary
land as in Mississippi, in Washington as in
Richmond-are to-day your enemies, and
the implacable foes of every effort to re-
establish the National authority by the dis
comfture of its assailants. Their Presi-
dent is not Abraham Lincoln but Jefferson
Davis. You may draft them to serve in
the war; but they will only fight under the
Rebel flag. There is not in New York to-
day n man who really believes in Slavery,
loves it, and desires its perpetuation, who
heartily desires the crushing out of the
Rebellion. He would much rather save the
Republic by buying up and pensioning off
its ASSISTANTS. His "Union as it was" is a
Union of which you were not President,
and no one who truly wished Freedom to
All ever could be.
If these are truths, Mr.. President, they
are surely of the graVest Importance. You
cannot safely approach the great and good
ends you so intently mediate by shutting
your eyes to them. Your deadly foe is not
blinded by any mist in which your eyes
may, be enveloped. He walks straight to
his goal, knowing well his weak point and
most unwillingly betraying his fear that
you too may see and take advantage of
it. God grant that his apprehension may
prove prophetic.
That you may not unreasonably perceive
