GEN. MEADE AND LEES ESCAPE
\ NefemCe OF Gen. Meade.

krtr"cs .trons Pricate Letter from u Prominent
0ffcer in the Arny Of the Potomac.
After the battle of Gettysburg, when
Gen. Lee retreated through the mountain
passes, Gen. Meade's army was greatly ex-
hausted by three days fighting and its
previous forced marches. and was greatly
reduced in numbers, having lost nearly
twenty thousand men, killed wounded
and missing, saying nothing of stragglers.
Directly to pursue Lee through the noun
tains, in narrow passes, wou d have en-
abled him, with q strong rear-guard, to
have held Meade in check till he could
have reassembled his army III the Cum
berland Valley, and then thrown his
masses on the heads of his columns when
be forced his way through, Or he could
have detained Meade so long in the noun
tains, that he could easily have gotten
away with the main portion of his army,
if he SO desired
1t was plain that if Lee chose to run
away no one in pursuit could stop him,
and that the only chance was to endeavor
to intercept him at Hagerstown, providing
he was not retiring as fast as he might
have done. The rise in the Potomac fa-
vored Meade, who was able to concen-
trate his army in Lees vicinity before he
had crossed. But Lee was found in very
strong position, with all his artillery placed,
and with his whole army behind breast
works, ready to defend or oppose our a l.
vance. The great difficulty was that,
owing to the character of the country, it
was impossible to reconnoitre Lees posi-
ton and ascertain what chances of sue.
cess our attack would have. Had it been
practicable to see exactly where Lee was,
and for the General-in Chief to have
formed a positive judgment on the subject
of the probability of success in an attack,
Gen. Meade might have sought no advice,
or at least might have given it less i'm
portance. But in the absence of such
precise information, his duty required that
before he incurred the hazards of blind
attack he should submit the question to
those who had to execute the work if de-
cided upon. After consultation, the corps
commanders decided that the risks in
Cured would not justify an attack being
made until there was some reasonable de-
gree of probability apparent that it would
succeed. They based their Judgment on
/ the consequences to the cause and country

The Soul Set Free.

Happy is that soul which, freed from its
earthly prison. at liberty, seeks the sky;
which sees thee, its Lord, face to face;
which is touched by no fear of death, but
rejoices in the interruption of eternal glo-
ry. At rest and secu.e, it no longer
breads death and the enemy, Now, o
Lord, it possesses thee, whom it has long
sought and always lHved. Now it is join
ed to,the combahy of tilose who singtO
thy praise, and forever it sings to thy glo
ry the sweet sounds OF t>never-ending bless
edness. For of. the fatness of thy house,
and the rivers Df thy plea ure, thou givest
it to drink. Happy is the band OF the
heavenly citizens and glorious the solem-
nifty of all who are coming back to thee
from the sadness and toll OF this, our pill
grimage, to the JOY of beauty, and the
loveliness of universal splendor, and the
majesty OF all grace. There shall the
eyes of thy people see thee face to face;
there nothing at all that can trouble the
mind is permitted to the ears.
What songs Of praise! What sounds
of harmonious instruments! What sweet
" flowing choruses! What music rises
there without end! There sounds contin-
ually the voice of hymns and pleasant
chants, which are sung to thy glory by
the heavenly inhabitants. Malignity and
the gall of bitterness have no place in thy
kingdom, for there is no wicked one. nor
is wickedness found therein. There is no
adversary nor deceitfulness of sin. There
is no want, no disgrace, no wrangling, no
turmoil, no quarreling, no fear, no disqui-
etude, no punishment, no doubling, no
violence, 10 discord; but there is the ex-
cellency of peace, the fulness of love,
praise eternal and glory to God, peaceful
rest without end, and everlasting joy in
the Holy Spirit.
O how blessed shall be if ever / hear
those most sweet choirs of thy citizens,
those mellifuous songs ascribing the hon
or that is due to the holy Trinity. But
o how exceedingly blessed shall be if l
shall be found among those who sing to
our Lord Jesus Christ the sweet songs of
Zion.--i& Augustine's Manual Of Dero-
tiOn.

Bradley threw Ms qrrG- around the neck
OF the yonng lawyer, and fairly hugged
him, SO great was bis admiration of his
oOoiness and courage.
"lf you live through this Ordeal he
said, ''you can aspire TO any Office in the
gilt Of the people OF this fighting State. :"
The meetings Wee arranged according
to the wish OF Granger, and at the ap-
pointed hour he was on the ground with
his friend; and 50 were his antagonists
with theirs and So, in fact, was half the
excited town OF Little Rock, who had come
out 10 witness the fight, see fair play, and,
if need be, take 3 hand on both sides-a
part as friends, and a part as foes.
The prelminarles being arranged, the
principals of the FIRST duel were placed ten
PAGES apart
"Be firm, steady and fire at the word ="
said Bradley, as he shook the band of
Granger, and withdrew.
There were few moments of breathless
suspense and the fatal signal was given.
In an instant the arms of the combatants
were raised like two levers of iron, and
the next there was a blended report.
Young Granger stood firm, with the blood
trickling down his face from slight fur
row in his forehead, ploughed by the ball
of his antagonist, who already lay stretch
ed out on the earth, shot through the
brain.
"Hit but ne.t hurt" said the young
lawyer, coolly rnnning his finger along the
wound, as his excited friends rushed up to
him.
Such skill and courage were enough for
fighting Arkansas \ hundred stalwart
men gathered around our delicate little
hero, and swore'his lie should not be put
in jeopardy again, to please himself Or any
body else; and placing him upon their
shoulders, they bore him off back into the
town. his two waiting antagonists nowise
regretting tie Nhim Of the spectators that
had saved them from standing before such
fatal marksman.
From that DAY forth, the star of Arthur
Granger was n The ascendant. He sub
sequenty married q lady of fortune, and
rose to the highest honors the State could
give him.
Great mental abilities could only be ap.
preciated in Arkansas when united with
great physical courage, and then the road
TO distinction lay open to the fortunate
possessor Of both.
Though the names above given are all
fictitious, there are many persons living
in the North who have heard the voice OF
Arthur Granger iu the halls OF the Ma
, tional Congress.

= TOUCHING INCIRYGNT.

The following morceau, contributed to the
Philadelphia Bulletin, from some unknown pen
was suggested by an affecting scene in one OF
the army hospitals. 4 brave lad of sixteen
years, belonging to 4 New England regiment,
mortally wounded at Fredericksburg, and sent
to the Patent Office Hospital ut Washington,
was anNiously looking for the coming of his
mother. As his last hour approached, and
sight grew dim, he mistOOk sympathetic lady
who was wiping the clammy perspiration from
his forehead, tor the expected one, and, with
smile of joy lighting up his pale face, whisper
ed tenderly, lis that mother! Then,
SAYS the writer drawing her towards him
with all his feeble strength. he nestled his head
in her arms like a sleeping infant, and thus
died, with the sweet word mother on his
quivering lips
