his left rest on the Rapdan east OF Culpeper.
In front of Madison Court House is high
range Of hills, which runs due east till it crosses
the Rapidan and approaches fredericksburg.
This is the Confederate stronghold, and Cedar
Mountain, the highest ofthem, IS s miles south
Of Culpeper Gen. Meade, therefore, can per-
manently occupy Madison Court House and
the lower fords Of the Rapidan, and still not
be able to assail the Contederates position -
GEN Pope did this in his day, and even went
south Of Cedar Mountain with his reconnois-
sances as far as Orange Court House. Every
one who has ever viewed the Confederate S line
Of defence, represents 1t as q very strong one.

EDITORS OF LEADER The Sharon Union
League held its second meeting on Tuesday
evening. There was goodly number pres-
ent, and all were settled in their determine
tion to fight the rebellion to the bitter end.
The Honorable MyrOn c. Hills delivered an
address to the audience which was character
lied by that dignity and Saxon plainness in
separable from the man himself.
After the close of his address Mr.. I. T. G.
Bently offered the following preamble and
resolutions which were unanimously adopted (:
Whereas, Certain artful and unprincipled
men have associated themselves in an unqual-
lied opposition 10 the Administration and
the war, estimating the perpetuity of party
dearer than the dignity and safety of our
country, rejoicing at our defeats, and Ia
menting our victories, demanding peace to
be bought with the cession of our constitu-
tional rights, peace that will shroud loyalty
in shame and sanctifS treason with triumph
ant glory; therefore,
ResolUed, That we abominate their infa-
nous combination as unqualifedly as the
patriot loves his country dearly.
ResolUed, That our army is our safety and
our pride, and that its victories have inspired
US with exultation, while its defeats have
bowed US in sorrow and sympathy for the un-
fortunate brave.
ResOlUed, That we can welcome no other
peace than that which comes of itself without
| diplomacy after the rebellion shall be in ruins
and when no flag but the Z" Stars and Stripes
shall dare demand our allegiance.

SLIGHT MIsFAKE.-Mistakes and mis-
apprehensions are not always pleasant in
their consequences. The other day a young
man who is vain of his personal attractions,
and who thinks every imPressiblo young wO-
man who sees him falls in love with him,
made mistake which threatened at one time
to result in serious discomfort to himself
Passing along certain street he observed a
lady sitting by window in the second story
Of respectable looking mansion, beekoning
him, as hs thought, to come up there. StrOk-
ing his Whisksrs with eomplaeent assent to
the supposed invitation, he crossed the street,
and without stopping to go through the for
mality Of ringing the bell, bOlted through the
unbOlted door and up stairs to thereon from
whence the signals from the unknown lady
proceeded. he found the lady sitting at the
window sewing. She was greatly astonished
at the sudden intrusion of stranger, and
somewhat alarmed withal. She arose hast
lily and enquired his business.
"Didn't you beclzon to me to come up
here ?" enquired the man, Disconnected and
uneasy. ~
NO, did not" replied the lady. 81
don't know you, Sir, and if you do not in
stantly leave the house shall call up my
husband, who is sleeping in the next room. +"
The young man heard some sounds pro-
oeeding from the next room which indicated
that the husband was getting up without be-
ing called, and he accordingly beat hasty
retreat down stairs. The woman, in sewing,
made motions which the inflated young spri
took to be beckOning motions, hence the mis-
conception,

The rebel raid into West Virginia is en-
velOped in mystery. Where the enemy is,
or what he is doing, nobody seems to
know. After the first alarm, the excite
nent died away, in consequence Of reports
that the raid was only q small affair for
the sake Of plunder, and nothing more
But later reports bring additional cause
for alarm to the border towns The Wheel
ing Inteliigenoer of yesterday says that
the enemy are hOvering around Fsirmont
and MOrgantOwn, but just where it is i'm
possible to say Il was also believed that
the splendid iron Suspension bridge at
FairmOnt had been destroyed. It is also
reported that the raiders were met on
Thursday between Fairmont and Clarks-
burg and defeated with the loss Of several
killed and captured. They were under
General Jones, and about fifteen hundred
strong. A later dispatch says that cav
airy company and construction train
were gObbled up at Bridgeport, FIVE miles
east Of Glarksburg.
The Wsynesburg (Green county, Penn
sylvania) bank burned some sixty thous-
and dollars of its paper and shipped its

COIOIsd Troops to Garrison Fortress
NToHrOP

We learn from the Boston Transcript
that Governor Andrew recently conmis-
stoned Mr.. John Wilder as Lieutenant, to
proceed to Fortress Monroe, for the purpose
Of recruiting q company Of blacks for the
Massachusetts ifty-fourth regiment; the
company was promptly raised, when the
Secretary of War decided that itshould not
come North, but remain there to man the
Fort, and thus allow the white troops to go
into the field. Secretary Stanton has since
dispatched an order to General Dix to mus
ter Lieutenant Wilder's company into the
United States service under HIM as cap
tain. This is doubtless the initiatory
movements toward garrisoning the South
ern Forts with cOlOred soldiers, thus saw
ing the health and lives Of white troops.

MARKET DAY.-Ontario Street on Mar
ket day presents lively scene, ,afOrding much
food for the thoughtful man, besides provi-
ding provisions for those who are not thought
fui. A motley crowd throng the sidewalks.
The lady in elegant attire is jostled by kiteh-
en- girls careless of Personalsappearance.-
Fastidious gentlemen who do their own mar
keting stand side by side with ragged and
unwashed humanity, by the stand of the veg
etable dealer. Women push baby wagons
along the crowded sidewalk, said wagons an
sWering the double purpose of carrying the
baby and the days marketing. The head of a
cabbage and the miniature of the head of the
family often lay side by side in the baby
wagon, and it is not always possible to tell
which is which. GOuty old gentlemen and
men Of tender corns have occasion to detest
the baby wagon on market days, and where
the victim is a bachelor the entire batch Of
babies and bsby-wagOns is frequently impre-
Gated.

Remarkable Chanee Of Sentiment in Wash
fnufou

A Washington letter to the Cincinnati
Gazette narrates the following sample Of
the remarkable change of public seni-
msnt in that city touching the slavery
question:
last Sunday DR.. Sunderland, the pop
ular pastor Of the largest congregatiOn-
and perhaps the most fashionable-in
Washington, announced that he was IN
willing longer to hold his peace on the Vi
tai issues Of the present coAtest; that his
conscience would not permit him, as
minister Of the Gospel, longer to remain
silent; that what he had to say might tear
his congregation to pieces, or drive him
from his pulpit; but that he had made up
his mind as to his duty, and should not
finch from it.
q As the congregation has been largely
prO-slaYery, and many Of the members
are said to have sons in the rebel army, it
may we'll be conceived that such an an
nouncement has produced some excite
ment. Dr.. Sunderland has been known TO
be at heart anti-slavery, but hitherto pru-
dental motives have hindered him from
broaching the real questions of the times
IN his pulpit. During Pierce's administra-
ton his was known as the Presidents
Church, and it has always been one Of the
largest and most fashionable in the city
Is it not s significant sign Of the wonder
ful change that has come over US, that
henceforth the most popular pulpit in
Washington is to be openly anti-slaveTy.7
