by strong force Of artillery. large quantity of

the enemy took place, as was anticipated by the
troops. The enemy were seen however in pretty
large force, encamped near Hawkhurst Mill but as
General Smiths orders from headquarters forbade
him to take any aggressive action which might
provoke general engagement, and as the rebels
made no show of attacking his advance guard, no
collision took place.

hundred millions year.
Let us first save the government and re-
establish the Union for then it will be time
enough for permanent settlement Of tho sla-
very question. Surely we have no time now to
be debating war of negro emancipation, when
not only Southern slavery, but the higher prin-
ciples Of Northern liberty, will depend upon
the wise or foolish prosecution of this war.
Small politicians and fanatics, with their con-
temptible party and personal prejudices, have
appropriated too much Of the time of this re-

country now demand some attention to such
subjects as our finances, our currency, our COM
