~ Richard B. Dodge, Co. d, I'd Vermont
Regiment, iamiliarly known as "Old Shack,
returned home few days since, honorably
discharged in consequence of disability en-
tailed upon him while in the service. HI has
been a good and faithful soldier, and his
comrades parted with him reluctantly, while
his officers gave him the strongest recommen-
dations as a true, devoted and brave soldier
In fact the wounds he has received first from
the bullet and the bayonet, speak in stronger
" cold STEEL even, while marching from the
bloody field Of Bull Run to storming the
heights of Fredericksburg.

A preliminary report Of General McClel-
lan's military operations, from the evacuation
of Harrison's Landing to the close of the
campaign in Maryla has been published in
Washington, having been furnished by the
government for that purpose. 1t is merely a
simple outline of the brilliant operations,
owing to the absence Of full reports from
corps commanders. He says The easy
and disgraceful surrender of Harper's Ferry
deprived his operations of results which would
have formed brilliant sequel to a substantial
and gratifying success" He alludes to skulk-
ers on the field in severe terms, and says that
death on the spot must hereafter be the fate
of all such towards"

results have been solid. We are anxious
that the public should do full justice to
both. A surfeit of battles has made us

different to victories. The public grows

A sublime meaning has this trite OLD

ago California, lying far upon the blue
Pacific, gave $4,000 majority for th'
Administration candidates. Night be-
fore last, while the elements were all
ablaze with the most appallingly sublime
display Of lightning ever witnessed in

cries "Ihe Federal Union shall be pre-

Maryland papers say that at the pres
ent rapid rate the stampede of slaves
from that State will soon render all talk
about Emancipation unnecessary there
will be none to emsncipate. One planter
near Port Tobacco lost eleven a few
nights since. Owners take the loss as
matter of course, since there is no pos
sible means of prevention. Compensa-

lar now than when the President first
proposed it.

From The Now Yo,k Tr.bau.
ChattauoOga.
The occupation Of Chattanooga by
General Rosecrans is amore brilliant sue
cess than il achieved by help of victory.
BATTLES are the last resort Of good gem
eral, said one o. the greatest. We are
a little slow TO believe IL; but Gen. Rose
Grams is 50 thoi ough a teacher that the
dullcst Of US shall yet prove apt sChol-
ars under his instruction. The popular
Imagination delights 10 conceive him in
the storm of bullets amid which his cOur-
age and capacity turned defeat into VIC
tory at Murfreesboro. Magniicently
done it was, but Chattanooga is a still
higher talent. Needless TO remind our.
selves that it was a famous Rebel strong
hold It's impregnability has been vaunt-
ed in every rebel journal for twelve
month past Nature had done her ut.
most to secure it from assault, and en-
ginegring science had trsbled its natural
strength. Gen. ROsecrans might have
buried half his army on its craggy slopes
before he had Tough, his way into its re
cesses; but he turns its terrors into tTi-
umph by skillful strategy, and simple
flank movement discloses the weakness
OF this formidable fastness. 1t is simple,
however, only in the sense in which
nearly all grand manmuvers are simple.
They are the exact application of simple
general principles In difficult circum-
stAnces--the natural obstacles being in
this case the greatest to be overcome.
Rivers, mountains, impracticable roads, a
country barren of supplies-these are
what test commanders capacity, and
what Gen. ROsecrans has just proved
himself master of.
Tennessee is clear of rebels, aud the
campaign is transferred TO the soil of
Georgia, a State which has hitherto
suffered comparatively little from her
share in the Rebellion.
II Bragg retreats on Montgomery he is
completely isolated. If be retreats to-
ward Augusta, Alabama is isolated, and
the remains of Johnston's army fall an
easy prey along with Mobile Whatever
course the rebel leader may resolve on,
he has no hope of preserving the terri
torial integrity Of the COniederacy, ex-
cept by victory, and the hope of a
victory wanes with every days delay
His army is deserving by desertiou, his
supplies wasting, has retreat certainly
threatened We judge, therefore, that il
he means to fl ght At all it will be neal
Atlanta, and he cannot be sure that Gen
ROsecraas will leave him even the chance
of battle at that place. Yet there mus
be some point at which the process o.
Out-flanking comes TO an end, and Bragg
must finally either fight where his ad.
versary chooses or find the Atlanti,
Ocean in his rear and retreat into that

burg as the Government has permitted to pass
the wires, although on the whole not unfayora-
opinion, or to require much comment. 1t is
briefly stated that the First and Eleventh
Corps, advancing beyond Gettysburg, west
ward, were suddenly met by tue forces Of
Longstreet and IIi-more than two-thrds OF
Lees entire army. A conflict ensued. lasting
from 10 in the morning till in the after.
noon. The national forces lost ground, but
finally reached a strong position and held it,
the battle ending rather unaccountably while
there was yet plenty of daylight. Very likely
the arrival Of the Third and Twelfth Corps
checked the hitherto victorious advance Of the
enemy, while On our side the still inadequate
forces would not be disposed to undertake q
general offensive.
This telegrapbc summary Of events is sue
ceeded by tho statement that we have taken
elk thousand prisoners, eight hundred Of whom
were sent to Washington and twenty -four
hundred to Baltimore to-day. 1t seems
so wholly improbable that this largo number
was taken in such battle as that above
described, that we incline to believe they com
posed some separate detachment Of Lees
army, which was cut of by the rapid advance
of Gen. Meade, and fell into bis hands as
trophies of bis strategy rather than Of superior
tactics on the battlefield. But it is possible
that Gettysburg was contest of much larger
proportions and better fortunes than 1t yet ap.
pears to have boon.

TIE Conservative State Convention Of Mi'
souri, has passed an Ordinance of Crndua
Emancipation by vote of 81 to 80. We pre-
sumo the minority was made up of the two
extremes" Charcoals" and Rebels. The ma
jorty, we judge, comprises the "C"rserva'
tyes' and tho Copperbeads."
The Ordinance is a curiosity. II declares
that Slavery shall cease on and after tie 4ti
of July, 1870, and then provides that it shall
not. Those who shall then be over 40 years
of age shall remain slaves for life; those under
~ years shall remain slaves till they attain tie
age of 90; and those between the ages sf II
end 40 shall remain slaves till 1916: 80 that,
though Slavery is declared TO be abolished on
the 4th of July, 1870, as aforesaid, not SIN
gle slave will be liberated till six years there
after; large class not for several years en-
suing; and another large class not at all. The
sum and substance of Abolition in 1870 is that,
after the 4th of July in that year, no person
who mny up to that time be held as slave can
be sold OF taken 10 reside out Of the State.
All slaves brought into the State henceiorth
shall thereupon be free.
This Ordinance was not submitted to vote
of the People, and will not generally command
their approval. In fact, the Convention was
aware of this, for they did not venture TO sub
nit it TO Popular vote. Nor would they per-
NIT the People TO elect State Officers 10 re-
place those now holding by the doubtful ten
ure of this Conventions choice. Gov. Gamble
offered bis resignation. but the Convention
would not accept il and would not order a
special election this year. Everything holds
over to the regular State Election IN August,
I-6i
A large portion Of the People-we think q
majority-urgently wish to get rid Of slavery
not ten or twenty years hence. but nOir. They
live in constant peril from The rufiians md
miscreants whom Slavery la. ripened ito
trnitors and assassins. and they seek immeli.
ate deliyerance therefrom. Most Of the = ~.
due are at heart Rebels, and don't want
Slavery abolished at all. Between these o. nd.
the Conservative" majority OF the Convention,
representing some forgotten yesterday, and
seeking 10 tide over the roaring breakers a.
gently as may be. Such is Missouri in 1868.
