Position of Lees Army.

Baltimore, July 8.
The Americans special dated Freder-
lex, Wednesday noon July 8, says,
The position of the rebels and their con-
dition have been definitely ascertained.
Their infantry line is drawn acaoss from
Funkstown, Nd, to Failing Water and
behind this line they are using almost su-
perhuman extremes to get their trains,
such as they have, saved, and their artil-
lery and ammunition across the river.
The best military authority here doubts,
| might almost say is convinced, that they
have no pontoon train besides that de-
stroyed at Falling Water, and that with
such canal boats as they had not previous
ly burned, and with timber felled In the
vicinity and at Martinsburg, they are en-
deavoring to supply the deficiencies of
their engineer corps.
1t is however but two days ago they had
troops telling timber. They also attempted
to cross some wagons on fiat boats, but
impetuous current of the river rendered
the attempt futile.

GENTLEMEN On my return home from
the North, find your very kind note of
Invitation to participate with the citizens OF
Rutland ana vicinity in celebrating the an
nlversary of American lndepend enCe and
American Union. In submitting to some
arrangements of business that will prevent
my attendance, am unable to content my
self without giving you the assurance of
my cordial sympathies with the patriotic
purpose and occasion. 1t is quite true,
you may read in the faces of the assembled
multitude tomorrow, how heavily and sad
ly the heart of the Nation is beating under
its gigantic struggle for breath and life,
but this is no time to open the book of
" Lamentations"
On the contrary, it is the time to affirm
and re-Gfirm allegiance to the Union, and
with one unbroken accord pledge anew to
ourselves, and to each other undying and
unconditional devotion to this priceless,
paternal Government of our fathers, to
all true men most dear Dhen most endGn
geTed.
The deep distress of the country appeals
loudly to every manly sentiment OF lndl-
vIduals and parties to unite, build up and
tortity each other not to divide, weaken
and destroy. 1t calls for a noble and ex-
pansive charity towards all guiltless er-
rors of administration, that may and
must occur in an eXgency, never before
known-an emergency never equalled III
Its mighty exactions upon human intellect.
| remember the observations of our late
distinguished Senator Phelps, when depre
eating sharp criticism of the "Compro-
mise" reported by the committee of which
he was member He said with charac-
teristic good sense {" 1t is an easy matter

in the estimation of all the world itself
and man It's inhabitant-were made to

well Tor us they have not the power of
making it over again. Let me conjure

losing our rights and liberties by our

make an acceptance of your kind invita-
ton inexpedient, and one Is that my re-
newal of physical strength is not so con-
6rned as to make 1t prudent or safe tor
me to undertake the tatigung laborS OF
such dav You will have vast assem-
blage, for doubt not that the region OF
Hubbardton and Bennington Is as thor
oughty patriotic now as 1t was IN ancient
DAYS. You will have out-ot-door speak
ing, which nobody can perform as well as
YOUR own distinguished citizen, who Is IN
comparable for such service; IN short,
YOU will have Just such scene and JUST
such a service as | once engaged IN at the
cost of being disabled from public speak,
ing for nearly ten years. Surely you VIII
pardon me if | fear REPETITION OF such
i consequences. But my heart will be witt

service so honorable as that OF patriotism
! Let it be large, liberal, free, enthusiastic

that the publication and salvation of thu

most desperate if not hopeless.
