Retreat of Meade to the Rap

We find the following special dispatch
es in the Cincinnati papers Of this morn
ing, under date of Washington December
ID. The first says:
Important news reaches us from the front
tonight. Meade, failing to get fight out OF
Lee by his retreatng, intrenching aud so de
LAYING our rapid advance, has found it neccs-
sary to fall back to the Rappahannock, to
obtain more supplies. A retrogade move

our troops reached Brandy Station and Cul

the present
Rumors arc rife of the supersedure Of
Meade by Hooker and Sedgwick, but no
change has been made
1t will be seen that the above says
MEADE failed to get a fight out of LEE.
Here is another dispatch. See how 1t
tallys with that assertion. 1t says;
The army again omerges from its wilder
ness campaign Of one week. II finds the ar
my Mt the termination precisely where 1t start

The soldier of the Army of NortheFn Vir-
ginia is essentially yelling animal He has
yell peculiar to himself by which hil success
in battle is denoted even at the moment of
victory. When he is pleased, he ytls as an
outlet for his exuberant spirits. When he is
displeased he yells at the offending official as
an opening of the safety-valye RESTRAINING hia
pent-up passions If he is cold, be yells in
order to force his blood into morolrapid cir

heat, and thereby relieves his exelIed feelings

From the Sonora (Oal) Democrat
The suicide of Nations.
"Ill fares the land TO threat'ning ills a prey,
when wealth acumulates, and men decay"


When wealth acumulates, and men decay"
From the earliest period of human history,
traced through the voumInous tones Of by
gone ages, recording the transmutations and
changes that have taken place in the varied
governments OF earth, showing how nations
have sprung into existence from the mere Sc
gregation of few families, or from races ris-
ing in power, reaching the summit Of luxurious
opulence then dwindling gradually to decay
or disintegration, too fully sustains the truth
of the above assertion
Egypt reared meath the fostering care OF
the shepherd Kings, has left upon the won
drous monuments of her skill in science and
art the recoreing of her rise TO power, and the
cause that swept her into national oblivion.
Assyria, Babylon, the mighty, prosperous re-
publics OF Tyre and Carthage, followed in her
wake, reached the high pinnacle OF wealth and
power, became eliete, their powers passed
away, and on their neeks the victors placed
the yoke themselves had worn, and left few
traces of the splendid halls where monarchs
had trod. Now the proudest era in the his
tory Of the human race with Greece govern
ing form political liberty, heretofore unknown
arose, developing the highest, noblest ener-
gies OF the human mind in art. science, wis
dom and morality; spreading the seeds OF those
in her circle of civilization, these traces have
never been obliterated; but the race Of him

Voting Is not Enough.
The New York Times says:

Inc New 1Ofk ItmeS says
The people have pronounced grandly for
breaking down the rebellion by war. Now
let them see to it that the government has the
means wherewith to do it. Mere voting with
out corresponding action, would be hardly
less than a moekery. If Vnllandigham and
Woodward and Seymour had been elected,
there might have been some consistency in
hestating to respond to the call of the Presi-
dent for more men. Such results might have
been plsusibly held out as such condemna-
ton sf the war policy of the administration
as TO make any further increase of the army
inexpedent But the people having sane
toned the policy, are hound TO aid in its con
summation, The same ardor whieA they eX
hibited at the polls, they should now apply to
the raising of volunteers.
AS ARTEMUs WARD would say, "them'f
our sentiments exactly" We agree with
the Times that "mere voting, without cor
responding action, is no better than &
mockery." Listen, and give ear, OIL "
laggards of the Loyal League, who voted
for war and its consequences. You have
sanctioned. by your votes,t the war policy o
the Administration, and you care bounC
to aid in its consummRtion." The tim,
set for the draft is drawing near, ant
0hio's quota is not yet full. Where ar
all the bodied men who voted for tn
continuance of the war? "The same ar
dor which they exhibited at the polls, the,
should now apply to the raising of voluu
teers." There can be no excuse, If yo
were honest in your votes. If you are i

A Carnival Of Blood In the
churches.

More than the usual quantity Of blasphemy
issued from the Chicago pulpits on Thanks
giving day. The exhibitions in some OF the
churches-in one in particular-were shock
ing God was placed in the most extraordl-
nary iuxtapositons, and most extraordinary
words we're put into his mouth. He was
thanked for tbe war, and for prolonging 1t,
and the prayers were for more Of it, and not
for peace aDd good will toward men The
preachers reveled in carnival OF blood MOI
love one onother, did they say, but hate one
another.
Some of the worst Influences of the war
seem TO be upon the pulpits. - Chicago Times
Chicago stands not alone in that respect
The same scenes were enacted here, and
the blasphemy that issued from one of the
pulpits in particular, was enough to chill
the soul of true christian, had any such
been present.

the various army correspondents. The
latest is that no general engagement has
yet taken place, and that it is probable no
battle will be fought, as MEADE's army

He will have to fight soon or fall back
