ccpted aud acted under. The invitation was
extended to all in favor Of a vigorous prose-
cution Of the war. and who render an uurc-
served support to the present policy of the
administration. This call shut cut none,
unless they sympathiz, with the rebellion,
and are ready and willing to bubble at
triaes at the peril of the government and

the enemy so far as developed, seems to be
an engagement with the Conlederates on
the old ground near Fredericksburg, while a
large army rasses the Rappahannoek far
higher and keeping the uplands, on this side
Of the stream, comes down on Ire 5 rear.
The vast forces under {ien Hooker will
at least enable him to undertake this move
ment with some chance Of success They
are more than he needs, or can manage in
one field, bat il Gen. Ice army is as large
as it was in December, nothing can be fear
ed from such a division of the combat
Ii, however. the Confederate Generals force
is not sufficiently numerous to prevent the
completion Of the manoeuvre, it is supposed
there is no course but to fall back on some
point near Richmond and give the enemy
battle alta greater distance from this base.
This is the worst that is even ppssible,
and it would be no disaster even if it should
occur. some disaster and some defeats in
the enormously extended campaign now
opening, will of course fall t. our lot.
1t would now seen probable that the
Presidents proclamation for day of fast
ing and prayer might have been appro; rate
y dated n little earlier On the 9th
Of March an appendix may be necessary for
humiliation over defeat.

4 NATURAL GRUNpLER, The following
letter WAS forwarded to soldier in the 18th
Maine Regiment, and for some reason re-
turned to some one in the town from whence
it was sent. 1t is printed just as wrlttea
Many Of the townsmen Of the soldier to
whom it was addressed requested to have 1t
published to show the public what bad use
pen and paper can he put to.
The writer must feel bad. He is to be
ritied. We saw 4 contraband on the Rap
pahannock, few weeks since, one that
served in the rebel army at Antictam and
who during the battle joined the Union
army, that could teach this writer the en-
glisI, language. what Constitutes patriotism
and religion 1t i. no use to spend any
time in showing up such man, lie is past
all honorable feeling.
