About eight O'Clock the enemy opened on
our troops posted on the left. composed Of
Gen Hooker's division, and other troops Of

or In speech Of Vice President Ste
rhens, at Charlottesville, few weeks since,
he declared the present contest emphatically
ono people to blot out another from exist
ence, and that every man in the South
should aid the army which is preventing
him from being reduced to serf. He pro-
claimed the war a great calamity to the
S,u.h, and that it was the greatest war, and
vaged on the largest scale, of any since the
li.th Of Christ. The history of the world
mot excepting the crusades--furnishes no
parallel to it in the present era

Mr.. Davis, of Kentucky, Yesterday intro
duced resolutions into the Senate, charging
Elk President Buchanan with sympathy
with the rebellion" because he did not
plunge at once into coercive m easures to
prevent it. This is malicious proceeding
upon the part of Mr. Davis, for what prac-
teal good can be geiued by it? Mr.. Buch-
anan acted as he thought the country's in
terest demanded, and it would have been
well if Lincoln had initiated his example,
Under Mr.. Buchanan's policy, in reference
to secession, Virginia, Tennessee, North Caro- =
lima and Arkansas would rot have seceeded:
there would have been no war, AMI the Cot
ton States, deprived Of the Dor Ter States.
would have soon come back to the Union
Mr.. Buchanan treated the revolution in the
South like a statesman; Mr.. Lincoln like an
ignoramus, who knew nothing of the history
of his country and the principles of its Con-
sti;ution. Mr.. Buchanan's policy, carried
out, would have been death to secession;
Lincoln has built up and rendered it for
midable. 1t is disgraceful in a Senator to
accuse an Ex-Presdent of treason, without
the slightest evidence upon which to base
his charge, save that he did not like the
policy he pursued in reference to the rebel
lion. We repeat, Buchanan's policy kept
the border States in the Union: Lincoln
drove them out and brought on civil warl-
