which closed with the battle Of the Antietam as

MARYLAND The State was fixed in her loyalty as
firmly az New.York or Pennsylvania ana the Eeoei
army of Virginia was broken. On the last point,
Cen. Cochrape saws that there is no doubt that the
soldiers who fed across the Potomac after the great
hattie were pspic-strcken crowd, whom II would
lave been easy TO destroy had our Generals known

They had however, good Typographical reasons
for rot attacking the next morning. The maps
showed that behind the ridge on which the Rebel
lines of battle were formed another ridge still

After the army shall have been thus reeuforoed
Gen. Cochrane thinks that it can in less than six
weeks take Richmond and conquer Virginia sweep
ing before it the Rebel army, which has lost its
strength and i:s prestige aud is recruited now only
BY the rawest conscipts.
THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.
Gen. Cochrane says that be has observed no
signs in the army Of dissatisfaction with the Pres-
.ents proclamation OF freedom. 1t is welcomed as
the announcement that the Government has at las:
policy. and even West Pointers, whose traditions
are aga,sst emancipation, may well feel glad that
