From the Army Of the Potomac.
FEDERAL FORCES NEAR BERLIN. MD.
Particulars of Gen. Lees Retreat.

BALTIMORE, July 10.
dispatch to the American, dated Berlin,
Nd, 10th, says the Army OF the Potomac is in
this vicinity. How long it will remain is not
Known 1t is probable that some days will be
spent in reeuperating both men aud horses
both OF whom have suffered from long and ia
ugueing marches. The position is one which
gives the army the advantage of the Bati-
more d Ohio Railroad, and where it can be ca
silly fed. The proximity of the river is also
great advantage. 1t is not probable that the
present inactivity will be long continued Lee
is said to be pushing as rapidly as possible for
Culpepper, and will hardly stop until beyond
the Rappahannock.
Mr.. Thomas o. Hart, one of Marshal Nc
Phails detectives, while out on a scout was
taken prisoner by the rebels, and confined at
Willansport from Friday last until the arriv-
al of our troops.
He says temper of the men and officers
there was respondent, and they were in mo-
mentary expectation OF an attack from our
forces, the result of which they admitted must
have been disastrous. On the arrival of Lees
advance on Sunday week, the most earnest eff
forts were made to cross. On Tuesday and
Wednesday the river fell so much that many
of the infantry forded it. A subsequent rain
again swelled the river, and it became unford-
able. The rebels then commenced construct
ing bridge at Failing Waters, using for it the
boats they had built at Wiliiamsport. This
bridge was not finished until Monday noon,
and then grand rush took place to get across
the artillery and heavy trains. Everything
was moved back to the river except the light
est artillery and a strong picket line. On
Monday night they were drawn in, and by
daylight nothing was left this side but rear
guard of infantry, most of whom were cap
tnred by Buford's cavalry. On Monday they
had not more than 10000 men on this side of
the river, and had they been attacked they
would have made but poor defence. Lee
and his staff crossed at $50 p. NJ. on Monday,
and Stewart with his cavalry followed about
three hours later

North Carolina Wishes Reconstruction of
the Union.
Stockholders in Favor of Emancipation.

NEwDEgN, n. c., July IL.
The Hon. Bradford Brown, State Senator
from Caswcll County, n. c.. has taken open
ground for reconstruction OF the Union. 1t
is understood, and rs much is admitted by the
Raleigh Standard, that majority of her leg
islature and people concur with Mr.. Brown,
but it is thought in Raleigh that she cannot
with safety to herself throw off the Confsder-
ate yoke 50 long as the Confederate army
holds Virginia, or until there is sufficient
force here TO sustain her in such an effort.
Hon. John A. Gilmore and other extreme
slave holders in this State, are said to be in
favor ef the Federal emancipation system,
which il is understood North Carolina will be
required to accept as the chief condition of
settlement between her and the Federal States
Later Intelligence from the legislature now
in session at Raleigh, confirms the report that
many OF its members have come out for the
immediate repeal of the act of secession pass
ed by the sovereign convention of this State,
and for the recall home by Gov. Vance of
troops from the Confederate army at once
Shonid Lees army be annihiIated, or prevent
ed from reaching this State, the repeal of this
act may take place at any moment; otherwise
matters will remain as above stated.
1t is said that while the discussion Of the re-
peal of said act was going on, distinguished
member suggested foreign war as a method
of cementing the States together, which was
applauded by all partiss.

When the conya1csccnt soldiers, in hospitals
at Eeokuk, took the law into heir own hands,
and handed the Constitution (uewspapcr)-a
rebel sheet-ovcr to the Father Of Waters for

there is no:hlng that the rebels would like to

Wcwou1d all have declared, in the assurance
Of perfect trust, that, should rebellion dare
to lit Its armed hand against the Govern
lncnt, or treason raise its serpent head,
that whatever other parties might do or
suffer to be done, this great Democratic
party, claimed 10 be so loyal and patriotic,
won'd rouse itself with more power and
wrath than ever before, and smitc down
and tramplc out both treason and traitor
in fury Of rage, and with syiftncss Of
vengeance such as it had never before dis
played. But, to our great disappointment,
and fearful apprehension, this has not been
the case. We have looked, in well found
ed alarm, and seen, in tlis hour Of their
greatest need, the country and the
Union appealing to au for help,
and the Democratic party, or Its profcssed
leaders holding back, refusing to come to
the rescue, speaking words Of hope and
cheer to rebels and traitors, and even in
some instances shamefully strengthening
and increasing their power and defense.
The question has been asked, in terrible
doubt, whether the malignant and primal
cause and source of this unnatural rebel
lion, whether slavery had also spread Its
subtle poison all through the Democratic
party, and SO corrupted and enYcnomed
its blood, that its heart had ceased to beat
with true and loyal devotion to the Union,
and felt no longer its old noble and gener-
GUS pulsations Tor freedom, and the rights OF
man. Men gazed with trembling, and saw
all that was precious and cherished in the
country, threatened By the violence and per
| fidy Of this monstrous treason, and yet the
Democratic party in u sul1cn and ugly
spirit Of obstinacy and faction, refusing to
show its fealty, and do its bounden duty.
! 1t muttered and grow1ed out its miserable
excuses, that doing one thing was going
too far, and doing another thing was not
going far enough 1t threw obstacles in
the path, or filed it up entirely, and then
abused men for not going forward. 1t cut
the sincws, or fcttered the uplifted arm,
and then ral]ed because it did not strike.
In manifold ways, to the disgust and alarm
Of all true and loyal men, and its, own
shame and disgrace, when treason was in
full career, and armed rebellion in open
day striking at our life, it left it in doubt
whether the great Democratic party was
for the Union and the country, or against
both; whether it would take sides for
secession, or against it.
