A Great Opportunity Lost.

General Meade appears to have committed
very serious mistake in his conduct OF the
great battle OF Gettysburg. He fought his
army well on Wednesday, Thursday aud FRI
day, aud it is more surprising, therefore, that
he should have spoiled everything by a blum
der at the end for which, we fear, he will not
soon be forgiven by a part of his lellow-cili-
zens.
We would not be so ungracious as TO direct
public attention to this misconduct of the new
commander of the Potomac Army were il not
that he appears to have lost one of those gold
en- opportunities which may not reeur soon. of
carrying into practice the theories of our
most peace-loving democratic friends
Ii will be remembered that on Friday eve
nlng, when our gallant army had thoroughly
beaten the rebels, General Lee sent flag of
truce TO ask for suspension of hostilities for
TWO days, to bury his dead, dc. Gen. Meade
refused 10 grant him even an hour Was this
right? Was this polite? Was this generous
towards suffering Southern brother? Was
not this the great, the long-looked-for oppor-
tunlty 10 ofer the celebrated olive branch TO
General Lee? He had just been soundly
logged by our brave boys; why did not Gen.
Meade at once give him weeks truce. on
condition that during this week the rebel gen
eral would consider the subject of peace and
make up his mind on what terms he would re-
turn to the Union? Why did not General
Meade send for Fernando Wood or one o1 the
Seyinours TO enter upon the attempt to concl-
late the defeated rebel chief? Or why did he
not despatch few runaway slaves, by the flag
oi truce. as a token of goodwill and to show
lne shareholders that even in the moment of
victory he did not forget his constitutional
uulies9 who knows what great results might
nave oeen effected by such a wise and ecor-
sentative course?
instead oi That, Meade absolutely refused
TO let hostilities cease; he returned TO Lee n
dsagreeable message, to the effect that the
Union army meant TO recapture all The p,ison-
ers Lee had taken; and he instantly made
ready TO pursue with horse, loot and artillery
IN, Inc wearled rebel general was thus obliged,
like "poor joe in Bleak House. to '.moya -, ;,
without that opportunity for rest and consid.
Grafton which he naturally desired. We fear
mat Meade is only soldier, aud no politician.

The MISSISSIPPI is now substantially in our
possession from it's source to its mouth Ad-
mira Farragut's achievement accomplshes this
result. The arrival OF the Hartford at the out
let of the canal Opposite Vicksburg proves that
the Mississippi, between Vcksburg and Port
Hudson, is now clear of rebel craft. The block
ade OF the Red river will cut off all supplies to
the rebels from that source, and must reduce
their further occupation of Vlcksburg, in
great measure, to question of supplies. We
regard the situation on the Mississippi as now
more favorable to the Union cause than at any
moment since the war commenced

Station, aud We are satisfied that the pleafant
music they make has its utility 10 cheering
the soldier and quickeniug the pulsatsns of
bis physical and patriotic life. 1t is of great
moment to keep cur men in good spirits. Our
continued prayer meetings do US much good
in this regard, as nothing is more refreshing
to the human heart at home than abroad as con
munion with God. The Christian prizes such
privileges and in the army social meetings
and other means Of grace are greatly missed
Let our friends write in cheerful tone and
make the best OF those trials and sacrifices
that cannot be avoided as long as the present
war shall continue. 1t is cause 10 which
We can we'll ford to be martyrs, and it is one
that is destined ultimately to triumph.
A sad accident occurred this morning, in
running the cars from this Station to AIexan-
dria. The cars suddenly ran upon a team
upon the track, throwing off one platform
car, loaded with sodiers, Four were Instant !,
killed and several badly wounded. We were
told that they belonged to the 18th New
York regiment which is stationed near Union
Mills. The soldier has much to warn him
here of the uncertainty of human life. Any
one might infer that the army would be a
place favorable to religious reflection and
Christian experience, but such does not al
ways seem to be the case.
We have just received the painful intelli-
gence, Of the death at Washington, Of Lieut..
Graham. Tno first report was that he had
:. been brutal murdered, for his money, but we
see by the Washington papers that the Jury
who set upon the case, and heard the testi
mony render a verdict, that the deceased
came to his death by cutting his throat, as is
supposed by the Jury, while under temporary
depression of spirits and belief, that his
vaIisc was robbed by one McNaughton of
1894 The deed was done at about o'clock
on Thursday morning the 10th inst. He
mas stopping at boarding house and man
who slept in his room, was aroused by hearing
him fall on the floor and on making cxamiu-
atoms found him with his throat cut. The
police and physicians were called, but he died
about six in the morning.
Lieut.. Graham was highly respected here.
His health had been very poor, ever since we
came into Virginia. lie had just resigned
in conse quence of his poor health, and had
received his discharge and pay, and was just
ready to start for his home at Springfield, VT.
He was about 81 years of age-was never
married, but leaves parents at Andover VT,
who were dependent on him for support. lie
was young man Of excellent talents, and to
his friends the affair seems vailed in a mys-
terry. His money to the amount stated above
was found in his vest, under his pillow and
counted by the police and placed in bis valise,
butts supposed TO have been stolen by this
MeNaughton who claimed to be there as
news paper reporter, but was thought at the
tine, to appear rather suspicious. Capt Dan
forth Of his company left here to-day to learn
more definitely the facts in this painful case.

IN MEMORIAM,

DIED:-In this place on the I'D Of octob,
1862, Hon. LEWIS WErzEL, from wound
rsived from pistol ball discharged by JoI
Hall, aged = years.
All. now indeed our hearts may feel
How soon Deaths shaft may find US.
That ties Of silk, not links Of steel,
Are those to life that bind US,
We breathe to day Gods pleased air.
And smile with those that love US;
Tomorrow comes the mourner's prayer,
And wild tears shed above us.
But yesterday he walked amid
Our walks with gallant beasiag,
To day his face and form are hid
From love or friendships caring.
All, ruthless Archcrl itwere well
To smitc the old and hoary.
But hottie strong, the brave--hc fell
In manhood's pride and glory,
And thereto lies, no more to share
Our lot or join Ournnmber-
In vain Love breathes its widest prayer
To wake him from that slumber;
The manly form, the honest hand,
The pulse of high endcavor,
The hears--nonc warmer in the land
Are huIhed in death forever.
All, many fond heart feels to-day
A grief 'twere weak to smother
II was friend death bore away
Yes, more than friend, brother.
Count up With slow and weary pain
Lifr'- trials, griefs and crosses
Still Memory in that somber train
Weeps Ger no sadder losses.
Not all is gone; there they stay behind
Rcmenbrances so tender
That solace is the grief we find,
In Sorrows cloud some splendor;
The frank aud manly speech that necr
With treachary designed to falter--
The hand, as liberal as the air,
Death canlot steal or alter,
No friend e'er looked to him in vaia
When aid or help was needed
To him tho voice of Gricfor Pain
Had never vainly pleaded

The Rebel RCverses in the Southwest.
New York, March 2O,-The following
explains something Of the recent mat
ters near Port Hudson:
ID spatches from jackson, Miss, da-
ted the lllh, reached Richmond, stating
that St. Helena was attacked in the rear
on Monday the sth, and that heavy firing
was heard there on the 18th st. Hele-
ma is about 95miles in ro( Port Hud-
SON in an castetly direction, and when
we remember the forces Of Gen. Banks
have been for sometime moving in that
direction from Baton Rouge toward Port
Hudson by the Amite river, heavy firing
MAJ probably DO accounted for from the
faet that Port Hudson is being invested
BY land and waLer. IT'S a remarkable
fact in this connection, that the Rich
mond Wing OIthe 18th mourns over re-
wrscs in the Southwest and tits equally
remarkable tina, n dispatch from Port
Hudson was read in the rebel Senate the
same day, which ;,used lively sensa'
