The Conclusion of the Whole Mat

A brief review ofrecent events on the Potomac
is aboaf as follows: The rebels, in fighting col.
umn fitted for light and rapid NOV ements pushed
northward from the successes over Pope in the Ran
pahannock and al Bull Run. Tney poured over
into Maryland, principally to secure supplies from
a rich region never visited by the var. Theheed{
ed army stores were there They had believed
that rebel sympathisers in thousands would rally
to their standard. With such aid they could alone
have hoped for a long ca mpaign north of the Poto-
mac. Without Ii they must have expected JUST
what has happened The "risings did not come
off. Fbe other part of the programme did come
on. The great foraging party, hungry from the
lean commissariats Of Richmond swept rapidly the
country aud made UP i'm mense forage trains Our
columns moved against them in solid array. The

hung upon their rear The future will soon tell
wheth er their trip down the Shenandoah is a safe
one, and the presence of some of Heintzleman's
force at Thoroughfaie Gap is suggestive Of what
may be on the tapis As far as events have reveal
ed themselves il cannot be doubted that the rebels
have done precisely what they intended in the
event of not being received by the Marylanders.
they have retired, bringing OF with them their

movement does not weaken this its unm:stakabIe
