THE NEWS.
The situation at the East is not greatly
changed since our last issue. 1t now seems
certain that Lee has not escaped; that his
army is at bay On tic classic field OF Antic-
lam; tlat he has Jet force enough to make
i Stout battle; that the task now awaits
Gen. Meade Of giving the final stroke to
lis adversary, and that this involves the
whole question Of victory. l. defeat at
Antictam this time, willmean annihilaion
to the rebel army, and there is no danger
That Lee will have any'i gotten lce*way
for cscape this time. Escape acroes The
Potomac lie cannot, and Meade is prepar-
ing to lead on the last grand attack. 1t
caunct be long postponed. Everything is
now promising. Our army is large and
flushed with victory which more than
:toncs for their late iatigucs. TIE learn from
private source that on Sunday and Mon
day large muses. Of troops were pouring
through Washington to be sent 10 the FROM,
al is activity and stern preparation for q
blow at the enemy, which if successful will
lc crushing.
John Morgan has entered Indiana with
:. large force Of cavalry. Our dispatches
uarrate in most circu1nstantil manner
The incidents Of his occupation Of Bran
Ccnburg, Ky., on the Ohio River, and his
seizure Of two steamers at that point, by
means Of which he threw O powerful
force Of caralry across the river, r1arching
directly toward New Albany and Jcffer-
sonyi1lc. Prompt measures hare been
taken 10 intercept and punish the
daring rebel, and Indiana is blaze
of excitement. Morgan has arrived
in time to help the draft soon to
come of in that State. It will not be so
easy for Coppcrhcads to tlout the Govern
ulcnt end oppose its measures to crush the
rebellion, when the rebels first to be
crushed are ri1ling Hoosier farm yards and
burning Uoosicr villages. This may be
called bringing tho question Of the wu1
home to Indiana, aud lore for the rebels
will not grow in the process. By the aid
o1our map, with the accompanying cSpla
milton, our readers will gain Q very CON
r1ctc idea Of the situation.
We have liked very little the aspect d
oattcrs in Louisiuna for short time past
and the previous news lends an uncom'
portable shade Of probability to the rumo,
elsewhere published from rebel sources
That large force Of the enemy closely
menace New Orleans. It is high time thai
Por.. Hudson was in our hands and Banks
aud Farragut in the Crescent City again
They are scre1y needed III that quarter, u,

The Coppcrncads in Iowa hare got int
awrang1e among themselves md the Dem
ccsats, who believe that they can help tn
17ar by helping Vallandighau1ism, ar
finding it 8 great trial Of their faith Us pa1
fisans, and such pressure on their part,
Its as they have not known before. I'll
Democracy is strongly hooped, but canno
ftand the present strain There is no fel
lowslip between the men who are willin

Following the prevailing fashion in th
navy, Secretary Welles seems to have e
limseE up as IN irou-clad, and a ram {
that. He has turned up sailing defiant
rr1nd in the Cabinet, buting NJ
Seward, and opening Lis tur7ets @
diplomatic matters in most irel
manner. We take it as a 200
omen. We like it well Of A1r. Wtlles, thu
