Bayonet Charges.

Our troops in front of Richmond seem
to have closely followed General McClel-
lands order, issued previous to the bat
tie, commanding them to depend upon
the bayOnet for winning the fight. The
Issuing of this order shows the command
ing generals entire confidence in the
courage, endurance, and discipline of his
troops. We are now informed that, on
Sunday, the federal soldiers made four
brilliant bayonet charges, each one of
which swept the enemy from the field,
and, what is very unusual in the history
of battles, numbers of the enemy were
killed and disabled by stabs of the bay

which is a compliment to their courage
and were beaten, which shows the supe-
rior steadiness and endurance of the
northern troops.
1t is somewhat remarkable that the
rebels, so far as the public know, have
never yet won fight. or even a skirmish,
by bayonet charge. Before the war the
southerners claimed, and their European
admirers admitted, that they were the
of tile northern people in per-
sonal courage and that kind of impetu-
Osity and dash so effectual in hand-to-
hand conflicts, yet these bayonet charges

and often succeed, as at Shiloh and Rich !
nond, in carrying their point at first, but |
.he superior endurance of the northern
.rs generally wins in the end, as it did in
both those battles. t-..
This war is putting an end to many
among which there was none
more mischevious than the notion that
laveholding institutions produce better
nd more courageous race of men than
rec institutions, There is moral at the
'oint of this bayonet charge that is worth

The Tomb of Mary, the Mother of
WASHINGTON.

No recent event, in connection with the
movements of our armies is more pleasing
thGn that in relation to the tomb of Mary
the mother of Washington 1t appears
that this noble lady who did so much to
form the character of our chief, died at
| Fredericksburg in 1889. With character
istic slowness, Virginia did nothing to pie
pare a monument until 1888, upwards of
fifty years.
Finally movement was inaugerated in
the last mentioned year, by laying the cor
ner stone, which some of Ills are old enough
to remember with pleasure. There was
then another long slumber of nearly thir-
ty years. How long it might have las ted
but for the presence of Northern army,
we, not having the gift of prophecy, do
not undertake to say.
General Mcdowell, as we learn has di-
rected that his army shall complete this
monument. Nothing can be more APP
propriate- 1t contains beautiful COM
pllmcnt to one of the noblest Virginia
ladies'; it marks the devotion of Washing
ton to the Union, for the sake of which the
Union honors one so dear to him, and it
indicates the spirit in which our armies
move to their work one of civilization.
not of barbarism; one of taste, not of bru-
tality zone of construction, not of destruct-
ion.
While the ladies of the Secession region
seem to forget their very nature in the
madness of their course, our bearded men
become kindly in the army itself. Each
one as he stands beside the monument of
the mother of Washington, remembers
his own mother. Phiia. Bulletin.

No peculiar Sanctity IN Slave Prop


The New York Times, which is strongly
inclined to what is called the conservative
side, has to say of the bill which provides
for the confscation of the slaves ofrebels;
As to the leading feature of the bill we
can see no valid objection to it, nor any
good reason why Congress should reject it,
Upon grounds of justice and right there is
certainly no sanctity attached to slave
property, which does not belong to every
other species of property. On the contra
~, mans claim to his slav is less clear,
less valid, less generally recognized by
the laws and the sentiments of the world
than his claim to any other property he
may hold. We do not see, therefore, why
Congress may confiscate a rebels estate,
and yet except his slaves. His slaves
should be the first of his chattels which he
is required to forfeit-because they are
most closely connected with the cause of
the rebellion, because they themselves
have interests to be consulted, and be-
cause large incidental benefits will accrue
to the country from such an act.
We trust that Congress will reconsider
its action upon the subject, and, after
amending the bill as may seem expedient
pass it. The country needs and demands
the enactment of such a law.
