A Lost Leader.

Those who have been so loud in decla-
ring, since the invasion OF Pennsylvania,
that the only hope for the country lay in
the recall of General Mcclellan to the
command of the Army of the Potomac
should remember that it will be very hard
for the people to believe that the national
salvation depends this week upon an off
Ger whose name was cheertd last week
with that of JEFF. Davis, by a meeting which
insisted that we were whipped" aud that
we must have peace at any price.
Nor will the popular confidence in that
commander be stimulated by the fact that
the Common Council of New York, body
celebrated neither for unconditional pa
triotism nor for uuswerving honesty, ask
for his resppointment by resolution sta
ted to have been prepared by Mr. Kerri-
gan, who before the rebellion was declared
was engaged in raising troops apparently
to aid it, and who afterward, having OBJ
tanned a command in our army, was court-
msr;isled and cashiered.
Neither, as We have heretofore said. can

gram, leads to the belief that such is the
fact. Very recent letters, however, from
Grants army speak of an expectation en-
tertained there that Bragg might do such
thing, but also express the greatest con-
fdence in the works which Grant bad
erected to repel any attack from the, rear.
AS matters stand the public will hardly
know now whether to await news from
Grant or Meade with the greater anxiety.

TILE NEWS.

Our advices this morning from the Army
of the Potomac do not fully sustain the tenor
of Sundays dispatches. They are still,
however. very encouraging. No doubt
we have victory: how much of one is
not yet clearly manifested. The reports
are conflicting. We see it stated in one
place that we did not capture those 1ls
puus, and in another that We took about
100. We consider the whole gun report
matter of considerable doubt. The num-
Der of prisoners is also largely reduced
It does not certainly appear that we have
more than 5000. The rebels are said to
have taken 1900 from us, which is as
likely to be under as over the mark. The
have paroled Q 900 of them.
As TO the result OF the victory and what
is 6nally to come of it, there are many ru,
mers by mail aud over the wires. Passen
gers on the down trains yesterday from
Pittsburgh aud from over the Central Ohio
road, brought us the most conflicting and
exaggerated reports concerning private
disp ,tches. AL of them would tend to th'
conclusion that we have achieved much
mlrs than the regular dispatches repre-
sent. We. however. take Gen. Meades
kilograms as our guide, and as he makes
no mention up to this writing of any whole
sale and sweeping results, we incline to
the opinion that the contest was severe
aud more in the nature of a stand off than
anything else. Undoubtedly the rebels
failed in their design, which was to defeat
our army, and push their columns to
Baltimore aud Washington. Having been
defeated 10 this design it became a necesi-
ty for them to look to their rear, which they
are now doing. To this end they are
making for the Potomac and we, in our
turn, are endeavoring to harrass them on
their march and to prevent them from eff
tecting crossing.
The great problem is, can We prevent them.
Gov Curtin appears to feel hopeful that
we can. He telegraphs to Gov. PeirpoinI
last night that the pontoon bridge at Viii
Transport has been destroyed and that the
river is rising. A regular dispatch, how.
ever, expresses the fear that Lees advance
Will Oe hOIo 10 CEOSS uuOPpoSSO' We ASN'
so, too. We have not heard of any suffi
cent force being in the rebel front to keep
them from crossing, aud, with their usual
supply of artillery, we should think it a
very questionable possibility to seriously
stop them from throwing over new bridges.
On the whole this much can be certain

f lied in what was intended to be a great

peudence. The tone of their papers iudi,
Gates that it was the importunste expeota-
ton and desire of the South to carry the war
into the loyal States, and to make desper-
ate effort to end it this summer by the
capture of one or more of our important
cities. The result proves that they could
not hold their footing, and that they must
go back, if indeed they get back at all, to
their old grounds and wait for fresh at
tacks from US on their entrenchments.-
Our hope, in the meantime, is that they
will never be allowed to get back, and that
they will meet their fate within the next
day or two on this side the Potomac.

arnnI,a Army.

The news from Grants army yesterday
evening Was construed to be of an appre-
hensive character. although we do not
think there is any reason to doubt the great
result We have all been looking for so long.
Johnston, in his rear, seems to have at last
picked up courage and material enough to
commence the work of moIestation. No
opinion can be formed as TO what may be
* .ected fran his scattering expedition
having penetrated very near our position"
II has been understood all along that we
c isely invested Vicksburg, aud that our
lin. were contracted close up to the rebel
outer line of works. We should suppose,
under such circumstances, that it would
be an easy matter for Johnson's force TO
penetrate very near US. What his whole

guess at, but 1t must be considerable: at

eitement concerning tho War News.
From the Dispatch.

From the Dispatch.
The war excitement in the city yester-
day Sunday was intense almost beyond
precedent. In anticipation of important
news by telegraph, crowds collected on
Fifth street, about the newspaper offices,
but nothing transpired until about noon,
when it was bulletined that a despatch
bad been received in the city from Secre-
tury Stanton, stating that after three days
san6 uinary fighting, the rebel army under
Lee had been totally routed and acere in .fuIt
retreat, With our victorious troops in hot P"r-
suit.
A private dispatch was received from
Pittsburg, announcing the victory in still
stronger terms. 1t stated that fifteen thon.
sand prisoners and over one hundred pieces
of artillery had been captured, and that Lees
retreat had been cut off!
From the telegraph Office was read the
substance of a special dispatch to Chicago
paper, conveying like intelligence, with
the additional report that Lee had asked
truce to bury his dead, aud that Meade
bad said he would consent to nothing but
an unconditional surrender, and also that
the Potomac river had risen to such an ex-
tent that it could not be forded.
The crowd, which by o'clock COM
pletely blocked Fifth street, did not seem
SbtlsueuI uuu IluBCICu ~ tuo uOPO Luol
something of an official character would
be promulgated.
About five o'clock Gen. Moorhead re-
ceived dispatch from Gov. Curtin, in re-
ply to one sent him in reference to West
ern Pennsylvania wounded. The Governor
said:
al believe the entire rebel army will be
destroyed We are pushing forward our
militia force. Over eighteen thousand are
now near the armies, and by to morrow
Monday Gen. Couch will command forty
thousand men.
81 have just received a dispatch that
Gen. Meade has taken twenty thousand
prisoners and one hundred and eighteen
pieces of artillery"
Private dispatches were also received
stating that Gen. Pleasantou, with his cav
airy, was in Lees rear, and that General
French had destroyed the bridges over the
Potomac at Williamsport.
Tho extent of our loss in the battles that
have been fought is put down at eight
thousand killed. wounded and missing, in.
Guiding fifteen hundred prisoners.
The number of prisoners taken by Meade
is reduced, by some accounts, to $4,000.
The rebel army appears to have fallen
back to MAll;ster's Gap, in the South
Mountain, the only feasible approach to
the Cumberland valley. Lee has his ar
tillery planted there. Couch is said to be
moving up in his rear.
OF the destruction of the bridges on the
Potomic there seems to be no doubt.
AT the time we went to press with our
FIRST edition, half. past eleven p. M, no
confirmation of the above reached the press
by telegraph.

sions-thAt the rebels would maintain
their contest with the utmost energy OF
human nature to the last extremity. While
our comforts have been an anodyne, their
miseries have been a constant stimulant'
The war was daily and hourly brought
home TO them as terrible business ano
it kept every faculty and capacity of their
nature on the STRAIN. The very fact that
the war entailed so much hardship upon
them made them only the more impatient
to drive it TO its end us soon as possloie'
The common suffering only intensified the
common sympathy, and fused all selnsn
feeling into the hercest devotion 10 'ne
common cause This effect has been man
ifested in their army, as we'll as out Of 1t.
The London Times correspondent, writing
from Lees army, narrates how that officer
brides himself upon the superiority OF his
'.poor ragamuftins" over the well-ted, we'll
clad National soldiers. 1t was really no
matter for boasting, even were 1t founded
on fact. The natural effect of all hardship
is to FIRE the temper and steel the VIII, as
we'll as to tougher the sinews.
The invasion of Lee, by bringing the
war TO our own threshold, will do more to
recall the public mind to some adequate
sense of the supreme importance OF the
struggle, than aught else that could posi-
bly, have occurred. twill greatly promote
cheerful submission to the Couscriptlon
act; and will give Government the courage
| to make levies of magnitude they other
wise would have hardly veutured even to
think of. Lee hurls his mortal challenge
| into the very face of the North; and there
| is no alternative now, if we would escape
destruction, but to fght him with our
whole soul. War has got to become the
first business of the North, as it has been
| from the beginning, the only business of
the South. When it once comes to that
| and we verify believe not until then-the
| fate of the rebellion will be sealed.

BEVERLY, July 4th.
By courier to Grafton 9Th July.

Jackson With 1900 men aud 2 pieces of
artillery attacked Beverly on the 2nd, cut
ting off its communications and capturing
some pickets. The enemy expected to
make an easy prize of the garrison, which
contained the 10th Va. Infantry, Captain
Ewiugs Battery, and one company of Cav
airy, under the command of Col. Harris OF
the 10th Va. who was directed by General
AVerill to hold the position. The l4th Pa
Cavalry, the Sd and 9th Va. mounted in
fantry, were pushed forward to the relief OF
the post, but before their arrival the enemy
bad been repulsed with loss and are now
being pursued.
The above mentioned attacking force of
jackson was the one from which General
Kelley apprehended descent on Phillippi,
Grafton, and other places in the interior,
and against which he invoked aid from
Gov. Tod of Ohio, as noticed in our paper
a morning or two ago. We presume their
base of operations is at Chea: Mountain
summit or possibly at Monterey. We un-
derstaud that they are made up mainly OF
rebel refugees and especially of recent ac-
cessions from our interior. They are q
recently organized force and, as yet, not
very effective. Their first experience of a
raid upon their old friends and ueighbors
is not such as to inspire them with a great
deal of enthusiasm. Our mounted rein
forcements ought to be able to run them
down and scatter or destroy them.
