ed t. be tight
As is toe policy l seem 10 be pursuing,
as you say, have not meant to leave any

/ would save il ia the shortest way uu-
der the Constitution. The sooner the
national authority can be restored, the
nearer the Union win be the Union as it
was.
Ii there be those who would not save
the Union unless they could at the same
time save slavery, do not agree with
them. If there be those who would not

phia Press says General Pope has fallen
back across tho Rappahannock, and
| made that stream his line Of defence.
The enemy is in great force on the south
| bank, and had made several Intellectual
attempts TO cross and turn our right flank,
at the same time making demonstrations
on our center. Such disposition Of our
army has been made that there need be
no fears Of further retreat. General Nc
Clellan has arrived with large portion
of his army, and II Is believed has as
sumed command Of both armies.
Fighting of a dosultory character has
been going on for several days, and the
enemy has no doubt been repulsed NJ an
points by our bat cries, though not with
out some loss of artillery, men, and hors-
os. During Thursday heavy firing was
heard on tho extreme left, and il was
believed that Gen. Reno Tepulsed the
rebels.
General Pope is praised Cor great skin
and actiyi " ia strengthening all weak
points. II 3 said be had no rest for sew
entv-tWo hours.
