In Mr.. L'ncoln's conversation with the
Chicago Enancipalionists. he gave his
views AS follows, respecting not only his
power. but the folly of exercising it:
What good would proclamation OF
emancipation from me do especially AS we
are now situated do not wish 10 issue
a document that the whole world knows
must necessarily be imperative. like the
Pope's Bull against the comet. Would

masters who come within our lines. Yet
| cannot learn that that law has caused a
single slave TO come over 10 us? And

for such a multitude"

In Mr.. Liucoln's Inaugural Message he

They were united and determined IN
their rebellion, and to meet them success
fully every advantage must be employed.
Thoir determination must be made an inn

among ourselves. To secure this we must

ties 10 sustain the Government. Apro-slav-

There must be individual labor to secure
that unity, and the soldiers on the battler

The Situation.

The reports received this morning are
not encouraging. Some force Of the enc
my-it does not appear what the force is,
nor where it came from-has attained the
rear Of Gen. Pope, and advanced upon
Manassas Junction. Capturing here some
trains Of provisions and number Of loco
motives, and capturing or killing the
guard, the rebels pushed on to Bull Run,
where they encountered part Of General
Coxs forces, lately from the Ksnawha.
After hOtly-OOntssted fight, these forces
we're driven back across the Run. The
passage ofthe bridge was bravely disputed,
but in vain, and our forces fell back until
the enemy actually occupied Fairfax.
What viii be the next move remains to
be seen We do not suppose this attacking
force to be very large or formidable. tits
more probably detached expedition sent
round to the rear expressly to hsrass the
rear and do temporary damage, like the
Stewart raid around Mcclellan 3 rear at
White House.

GEN. EWELL'S ATTACK on MANASSAS
JUNCTION-ANOTHRR "AFFAIR " AT
BULL RUN.
NEW YORK, Aug. 90.
The correspondent Of the Tribune states
on Tuesday night the pickets at Manassas
Junction were driven in, and two compan-
les Of the 105th Pennsylvania Infantry
and one company Of Pennsylvania Caval-
ry and some artillery stationed there, were
surprised and attacked by Gen. Ewelrs en-
tire division, numbering from 1000 to
10000 infantry and cavalry, with artil-
lery.
After q short skirmish the handful of
men at the Junction fled, the rebels turn
ing upon them nine of our own guns, and
keeping up a brisk fire till the Union
troops were taken prisoners, a few escap-
ing across Bull Run.
At Union Mills were two regiments Of
Coxs division, the 4th and 18th Ohio un-
der Col Scammon, and they Immediately
advanced to meet the approaching body of
rebels A conflict ensued in the early
morning between the Junction and Bull
Run, lasting for three hours, when the
Union troops being largely outnumbered,
and fanked on the right, retired across
Bull Run bridge. Here a vigorous attempt
was made by Col. ScammOn TO hold the
bridge At II o'clock two rebel regiments
forded the Run above the bridge, when the
18th Ohio charged on them and drove them
across the river with heavy loss.
In the skirmish Capt. D. W Pauly vas
wounded slightly. The regiment lost in
killed, wounded and missing 35 to 40 men.
At II o'clock Gel. Scammon was obliged
to retire, moving slong the railroad in the
direction Of Alexa!.dria.
The rebels advanced across Bulps Run,
and yesterday afternoon, their advance
cavalry were at F.;rfax, and Bents sta
tions.
On taking possession Of Manassas juno
ton, the rebels captured seven trains load
ed with provisions and ammunition, and
ten locomotives, all of which they destroy
ed. OF the men Of the 105th Pa, on the
ground, nearly ali we're killed, wounded or
taken prisoners, IS only three Of them are
known to have escaped.
Our loss has besn immense in govern
ment stores, AMI killed, wounded and
missing.
Telegraphic communication with Gen.
Pope was had yesterday via Fredericks-
burg, but none whatever direct.
LATER
A captain just in from Centreville, says
that firing was heard early this morning
beyond Manassas, and it is believed that
Gen. Pope had attacked Gen. Ewall in the
rear.
A Washington correspondent states the
lst n. ]. Brigade, Gen. Kearney, are re-
ported to have engaged the enemy at Bull
Run bridge, where a fierce struggle was
maintained. The bridge is said to be still
in our possession. The fighting also was
carried on with portions of the division of

BosToE, Aug. %.
The meeting tonight to hear Gen. Ere
mont, was one of the greatest demonstra-
tions ever known in this city. When he ap-
peared, the waving Of hats and handker-
chiefs, and cheering, were long-continued.
Gen. Fremont referred to the Importance
Of vigorous measures for recruiting, re-
GREETED the difference of opinion which
caused any lack Of unity among the peo-
pie, and expressed confidence that Massa-
chusetts, true to her past history, in rock
ing the cradle of liberty, will not fail in
all her efforts to destroy the hydra-headed
monster, Rebellion.
He said among our rights and duties,
was the right of the people to debate the
character Of all vital institutions. Repub-
lican institutions are at stake, not only in
this country but throughout the world, and
it is the duty Of every man to express his
opinion for the human good Six years in
Congress, in common with his hearers, he
held the opinion that slavery should not
be extended beyond the existing limits
In Missouri, year ago, he declared the
slaves Of rebels free. This was done be-
cause it was believed to be the most deci-
sive and deadly blow at the heart of the
rebellion, and the quickest mode of obtain
/ ing the greatest advantage at the ightest
cost. This was the legitimate exercise Of
pro-consular power. Later, he became sat
| isfed that with success must terminate
/ slavery. 1t was sufficient to adopt some
measures by which it must cease as a po-
| liticai power and as social fact. The
events Of the war showed there could be
no lasting peace while slavery exists on
| this continent Therefore, considerations
apart and solely with view to suppress
| the rebellion, he was in favor Of the i'm
mediate abolition of slavery. Abolition
/ should be effected so as to deprive the enc
nv of his great means Of resistance
Wherever the flag Of the country waves,
let it Goat over freemen, and loyalty to it
be an answer to all questions, and all the
passport that is required. 1t was some
times urged that liberty to the slaves would
be an injustice to the loyahsts of the South.
How could war be carried on without re-
quiring sacrifices. Undoubtedly those who
prove to be loyal, would be paid for theiI
losses. The Unionists Of the North had
made sacrifices in giving their lives, and
those whom they held most dear to them
Such losses could never be repaid. So hC
believed the Unionists of the South would
be ready to make sacrifices. He believed
however, there were not so many Union
lists at the South as was generally suppos
ed, and the number is decreasing. Thi
dangers Of their position, and the unoer
. tainty Of the success Of the Government
had produced this unanimity. In the who'll
valley of Virginia there was not Uniol
man, and he was certain not Union Wo
] man. With them It was only aquestion
to the manner Of separation. The North
er9 people did not realize how long n
Southern people have been preparing 10
disuniou.

just to state that less time has been allowed
for preparation than was contemplated.

BENRDIcTIoS

TbS speeches were full of sound sense
and practical hints, and exhibited degree
of talent and deep thought which reflected
great credit upon the college, as well as the
speakers.
Nearly all the graduates from both de-
paFtments seemed to realize the fact that
they come before the world in times Of Pc
ouliar interest and earnest reality. The
graduates sent forth from 0berlin at her
twenty-ninth annual commencement, will
doubtless be heard from hereafter, as men
and women for the times.
The exercises were materially enlivened
by good music from the Musical Union,
under the direction of Prof B. F Baker,
with ]. P Morgan, musical director at the
Second Presbyterian Church, Cleveland, J
at the organ.
Before the immense audience were dis
missed, the following sentiment was pro-
posed by the Rev J. A. Thome, Of Cleve-
land, which was responded to by nearly
unanimous rising vote;
"RssOlued, That the necessities Of the
country, the rights Of the enslaved, and
the glory Of God, demand that the Presi-
dent, in the exercise Of the war power,
abolish Slavery in the United States"

She had the wreck of the steamer Kar-

The Despatch has a cargo of turpentine,
which was probably sent here by secession
