BALTIMORE, Sept. 90 The Americans cor.
respondent at Sharpsburg, under date Of the
22d, says there has come a lull, in which the
conteuding armies are lying quietly with the
Potomac between them, waiting Developments.
Since the reconnaissance ACROSS the Potomac
at Clarksburg on Saturday last, perfect quiet
has reigned along the lines, scarcely disturbed
even by skirmishing of pickets. We hold the
river at sharpoburg in strong force, while the
rebels occupy the opposite bank, but not, 1t Is
thought, 10 force. We also occupy Williams
port in sufficient strength to resist any attempt
of the rebels to dislodge US. Hsrper's Ferry 10
likewise 10 our possession, and we thus stand in
q position to check re. crossing to this State
and to commence offensive operations.
The army is not idle. Large columns are In
motion to-day. A regiment of cavalry crossed
the river last night about three miles from
Shsrpsburg, on q reconnaissance. The rebels
showed themselves on the edge Of the wooda,
but made no demonstrations.
The battlefield of Wednesday 10 now pretty
we'll cleared Of all material evidence Of the
struggle; the dead have all been buried, aud
the wounded all removed to HsgerstoWn and
other places.

SUCH 4 DEFENDER.

The bitterest enemy Of Gen. Mcclellan
could desire nothing worse for that officer
tlau the defense that is volunteered for
him By the Chicago Times. That Northern
organ Of secession, which, among all loyal
men everywhere, is held to be the most
rancorous, 7indictive aud unscrupulous Of
the enemies Of tie government, has taken
the General under lis protection; and the
same pen that threatened the soldiers Of
tue North with fire in the rear" when
they should start South to fight for the
Union, is no's shedding, alternately, cu1o-
gums upon Ills head and anathemas upon
those whom 1t desi:nates as his prosecutors.
Pretty soon the three or four correspond
chts Of that concern-the one who was
ordered out Of CAlro on suspicion OF being
aspy in the loyal camp; another one, who
was lately in the military prison at Alton for
dis.oyal pr:tc1icesi sill another, who was
made 10 deny lis reasona5le inventions
aud confess that he had lied, (probably to
please those who paid him J and another

for the protection Of their interests on land
and at sea- But with dissolution Of the
Union aud the creation Of Southern Con-
fedc1acy, all this would inevitably be
changed. The South is essentially mar
tial. She has large class Of citi~
zcns whose ambition is to excel in military
nfFai1s and her system Of labor is such
that she can, without material loss to her
industry, which Is mainly agricultural, put
and keep large army in the field And
again, Slavery, in itselfa system Of piracy. is
and always must beaggressivc. Like other
monster wrongs against which the world
contends, it can never bear to be at peace.
With such neighbor as the South would
be, a standing army in the North, no mat
te1 how pacific our intentions and our
policy, would become indispensable to the
national security. With it ne should be
forced to accept all its disagrecable con-
comitants; and the chief Of these would be
the final and complete destruction Of the
blessed liberty that the country now en-
joys
We point out to these Democrats who
arc expressing the fear that tho present
contest will end In changing our govern
ment into military despotism that a
cessation of our endeavors, whereby the
Independence Of the seeding Sta1es would
be assured, is the certain method of accom-
plisbing TINT which they seem to dcprecate
20 much. Present honor and future secu-
| 1ity point uncningly to continuance OF
the war against treason, until the old gov
ernmcnt is once more firmly established on
every inch Of the national coil, and until
the power Of the Republic, not only to
repel foreign aggression but to deal viii
disloya1ty ut home, is so demonstrated thai
We may go back to the security and pros
perity which were cur happy lot before
secession had done its wicked work. Tia
is the only course left us, and tha: tn
country must follow.

that he procured, by no very honorable
