The Situation.

The victory just achieved in Northern
Georgia is, perhaps, the most complete of
the war-the mos. crushing blow yet
dealt the rebellion. Gen. Grant has
overcome Bragg in pitched battle of
three days duration, at Chattanooga, and
caused him to retreat in dire disorder,
with the loss of sixty cannon. nearly ten
thousand prisoners, large quantities of
small arms, camp and garrison equipage,
and ten battle flags At last dates, the
rebels were completely demoralized and
their grand army flying in every direction
for safety. Grant is in full pursuit, de-
termined to end up the campaign in the
Southwest by the total demolition Of the
only opposing army in that quarter.--
Tennessee is redeemed Burnside safe :;
and the bogus Confederacy roels under u
blow from which it were next to impossi-
bic to recover.
The Army of the Potomac has again
advanced, crossing the Rapidan at three
different fords. The rebels fell back on
our approach, contracting their lines
Correspondents represent Meade's army as
in the best possible trim, and eager for a
brush. Lee.is represented to have but
10000 men. In all probability, great
battle will occur soon.

II suffered to continue. In our Judgment,
the irresistible logic of events has sub
stantially settled this question. The
madness and insanity of the rebels COM
PEELED the President to issue his Emanci-
patton Proclamation, which made forever
free every slave then under rebel authority.
In the Border States where the proclama-
did not operate, slavery is dying out of
itself Maryland, West Virginia and
Missouri have virtually abolished slavery
In none of these States are slaves of any
real value to their owners. Both masters
and slaves so understand it. In Maryland,
slavery is being swept out by hundreds
and thousands every week, by the simple
process of enlisting the slaves into colored
regiments. paying their masters the bounty
Of three hundred dollars each and making
the slaves free. In all the other Border
States, slavery cannot by any process sur
vlve the war. Slave owEers so understand
1t, and are making their calculations
accordingly. The union men there SO
understand it, and are fast becoming warm
advocates of the emancipation policy. The
great union sentiment Of all the border
States will soon be unit upon this ques-
ton. The rebels South and their friends
and sympathizers in the Free States will
very soon be left alone in advocating a
return Of the rebellious States to the union
acih slavery. And that man is infdef in
his opinions who does not see the finger
of God in this great movement. Pharaoh
Knocked God and refused to let the children
of Israel go until ten terrible plaques had
been visited upon MIN and his people
If wc, as people, undertake to copy after
him in his wickedness, how can we expect
to escape His hot displeasure agaist op-
preston and slavery. The inspired words
Of the immortal Jefferson will prove true,
that, in a contest against the oppressed
coiored race OF our own country, "the
Almyhty has no attribute that wW take
sides triM u.s. Well did he "tremble for
his country," and we'll may we ''tremble
for our country" when we think of this
great truth.

nSa- In the narrative of the return of
large number of our army Surgeons from
Richmond, we find this notice, which
undoubtedly refers to Senator White, of
Indiana county:
"Major White, of Pennsylvania, at
tempted to escape with the Surgeons at
City Point, but was detected 5y "a telegram
and sent back. In extenuation of his
offence, the Major stated that he was
endeavoring to get to the North for the
purpose oe effecting such arrangements as
would insure the exchange of our starving
prisoners. The Major was sent back to
be confined in the dungeons dark and deep
of the Libby"
We fear this is the last we shall hear
of Maj. White until perhaps the adjourn
