Meades Late Strategy Explained

ARMY OF THE PoToMAC, Oct. 20.-De-
serters from the rebel lines bring us most
cheering news to-day, which | understand
to be confirmed by official dispatches re-
ceived by Gen. Meade from Washington, and
which fully accounts for the hasty withdrawal
of Lee from the front 1t appears that
Burnside has forced his way through the
mountains of East Tennessee and Southwest
Virginia, and has actually got possession of
the main line of rebel intercommuncatlon-
the Virginia and East Tennessee railroad.
The information, as | gather it, places Burn
side in the vicinity of Arlington, about one hun
dred and seventy-tive miles southwest of
Lynchburg the great rebel base OF supplies
lie is said to be i'll possession Of the railroad
for distance of forty or fifty mile, and has
utterly destroyed it. He is working along up
the railroad towards Lynchburg.
Lee, In his recent advance against Meade,
withdrew all the available men he could gather
from the line of this road, supposing it per-
1ectly secure SO long as Meade was in his
front 1t now appears plain-what was before
omprehensible-why Meade was not al
lowed to fight the rebels on the Rappahan-
mock, at he desired to do, but was not permit
tea to do by the authorities at Washington.
by falling back towards Washington, he drew
the enemy at least two days march farther
away from Burnside's field of operations.
Lee, utterly ignorant of Burnside's movements
Or whereabouts, followed him. The dscov-
cry OF Burnside's operations was made on the
10th, and was telegraphed to Gordonsville
and thence dispatched by special courier
to Lee, reaching him on the 10Th, coupled
with imperative orders to fall back immcd-
ately and with all haste to Gordonsvile and
reinforce the garrison at Lynchburg. His
retrograde movement was commenced on Fri
day night when the troops intended for
Lynchburg were first Withdrawn. These |
understand to be the corps Of ID. ii. Hill,
which was at that time operating on our left,
and was therefore nearest to Culpepper. They
arrived at Culpepper on Wednesday, where
immense trains OF cars were waiting for
them, by which they were transported south
ward. The rest of the rebel army followed
more leisurely, though with all reasonable ex-
petition, taking the Warrenton turnpike and
the dirt road via Greenwich. Stuart's cavalry
retained their position in our front until Sun
day, when they fell back

Mr., EDITOR You stated few days since
that Rev. John II. Mellish Of Kingston, n.
H., hid his pocket book, with about 500,
stolen in the cars near Springfield. The facts
are of special interest. Rev. Mr., Mellish
was in a carwhich was to proceed to Albany,
and lost his pocket book. Missing it on his
arrival at Springfield, he supposed ithad been
stolen, and the papers did him service by Civ
ing notice of it. He was to have taken the
cars to New York, via Hartford, but Icing
moneyless, returned to the place where he had
been visiting. The cars went on to Albany.
In going across the ferry at Albany two la
dies were robbed OF their purses and the
checks to their baggage Making their loss
kaown to the conductor, he, thinking they
might h We lost their effects in the car, sent
a messenger back to search. He found Il
pocket book on the ear floor but the honest
ladies said it was not theirs. The conductor,
seeing the notice in the paper Of Rev. Mr..
Mellshs loss, sent the pocket-book, incud-
ing the money, to him, which was proved to
be his. Thus the misfortune Of the ladies re.
suited in the good fortune of MIR. Mellish.

Rev Mr.. Mckinney, who for seventeen

describing the natives, beside whom the Atri-
cans OF our country were only to be consid-
cred as dark. Their mode of dress was al
luded to, fromwhch it appeared that the ladies
OF America had, to wonderful extent, adopt
ed African customs. Various anecdotes were
related, illustrating the fact that the cruel
ties OF the people of that distant land are
| but the ordinary workings of heathen-
ism. The progress made by the natives
in civilization, as also their self-deny-
ing benevolence, was discussed at length the
fact being cited that the people with which
Mr.. Mex. was connected contributed on one
occasion $l55 in gold, which was subsequent.

and, although lengthy, the speaker succeeded

himself in possession Of two steamers and
nine prisoners. One of the prisoners was an
aid to the rebel Gen. Taylor. The rebel Off

rebels could get provisions by from the sea-

This, the admiral says, is a great loss to the
rebels at this moment, as it cuts off their
means of operating across that part of the

attack Morganzie. This capture will deter
others from coming down Red river The
affair was well managed, and the officers and
men composing the expedition, deserve great

The rumored removal of Gen. Rosecrans
from the command of the army of the Cum
berland seems to be corroborated by a dis
patch from Louisville stating that Major Gen.
Grant has assumed command of the combined
armies of the Ohio, the Cumberland and of
Kentucky, while Gen. Rosecrans himself is on
his way to Cincinnati to report by letter to the
adjutant general at Washington. 1t is further
reported that Gen. George IL. Thomas, who
won distinguished honor in the late battles
near Chattanooga, takes the immediate COM
mand vacated 10y Gen. Rosecrans
The only reasons assigned for this impor-
tant change are given by letter-wrtcrs,
whose statements must DC taken with caution.
Whatever may have been Gen. Rosecrans'
fortune in the conduct of the Chattanooga
campaign, we cannot be so ungrateful as to
forget that he has rendered much brave and
useful service to the country, aud before this
last reverse, there were few officers who had
won so large share Of public confidence
The first impression of multitudes of people,
on hearing of his removal, will be that he
has been harshly judged, and that something
besides public interest was among the iufu-
ences that displaced him.
In the absence of authentic information.
however, there is no safety in rapid conclu-
sions against the wisdom of acts, the great and
controlling reasons for which are not, and
from the nature Of the case cannot be, gener.
orally known. Something must he trusted to
MN whose eye is upon the whole field and
who certainly desires to see the war brought
to speedy and successful end. 1t certainly
is not for those to complain who have here
totore blamed the government for keeping in
high command officers whose services had be-
come worthless, or worse than worthless, to the
country. If the policy OF placing all important
commands in the hands of the best officers,
and Of transferring them just as often as the
efficiency OF military operations, or the ex-
igency OF the public service required, had
been in force from the start, we should have
escaped mlstortunes without number, and pos
sibly have achieved an early and decisive
peace. The administration unquestionably
makes mistakes. But the country will Judge
them with leniency if they add in the slightest
degree to the vgor and energy of conducting
our great campaigns.

here to day of the murder, on Tuesday, of
Lieut. Eben White Of the 9TH U. S. colored
regiment, which is now being organized by

a prominent slave owner of that county. The
Lieutenant, with squad of his company, was
sent by Col Birney to Benedict, on Monday,
to obtain recruits.
Hearing that Sotheron had two of his slaves
tied up to keep them from enlisting, the lieu
tenant proceeded to Sotheron's home and or
dered the men to be released. Sotheron and
his son refused and abused the lieutenant,
threatening to shoot him, both being heavily
armed.
White then leftandproceeded to fieldwhere
several OF Sotheron's slaves were at work.
followed by S0theron and his son, who de-
mandrd his object. The officer replied that
he was there to enlist all that were disposed.
After some more abuse the Sotherons de-
clared they would kill the lieutenant. and

HoRTICULTURAL.--The exhibition at the
last weekly meeting of the Horticultural So
ciety was very fine. As usual, however, it
consisted chiefly OF pears. Some Of our largest
growers Of apples assure us that the reason
why that fruit is not more generously repre-
scented Is owing to the fact that they have not
finished picking. So soon as that is accom-
plished we are promised better things.
1t mag not be inappropriate ito remark that
the essential purpose Of these meetings, so far
as the display OF fruit is concerned, is, by the
comparison and actual test through taste of
ripe specimens grown under different condi-
tons of culture and SOIL to establish so far as
may be possible standard OF excellence for
the pomology of the city and county. Fruits
vary SO much in quality from one year to
another that the task will demand long
| time for its completion, if indeed it is ever
| fully and finally determined. 1t must be OBJ
vious, at any rate, when such is the end in
| view, that only ripe fruit is desirable, and
that the exhibition of specimens in autumn
| that only mature in winter is not so much I'M
seasonable as f1'uitleSS. We append a list of
