ments OF the last seven Gays. If it has
not acct nipli>hed AL that WIS expected,
the reasons are well known to the army.
1t is sufficient to say that the, were of q
character not to be toreseen or prevented
by human sagaciy or resources.
In " tlIdiaUin from the south bank of
the Rap shanock, before delivering n
geueraj battle to our adversary the army
has given renewed evidence of its conf
dence in itself, and its fidelity to the
principles it represents. In fighting at n
disadvantage, We would have been rec
reant to our trust to ourselves, our cause
and our county. Profoundly loyal, and
conscious Of its strength, the Army of
the Potomac will give or decline battle,
heuevcr is interests or honor may de-
mand. Il vii also be the guardian Of
its own history aud its own ann.

withdrawal, not rebel yentured TO fol-

The events Of the last week may
swell with pride the heart of every off
Ger and soldier of tbs army. We have
added new laures to its former renown.
We have made long marches, crossed ri
vcrs, surprised the enemy in bis entrench
II ents, aud everywhere we have inflicted
heavier blows than We have received.
We have taken from the enemy five
thousand prisoners and fifteen colols,
captured, and brought off seven pieces
of artillery, and placed hors dn combat
$4,000 Of his chosen troops. We havo
destroy ed his depots flied with vast
amounts of stores, damaged his commu-
nications, captured prisoners within the
Notifications OF his Capital, aud filled
his country with fear and eonsterna-
ton.
We have TO other regret than that
caused by the loss Of our brave com
rades, and in this we are consoIed by
the conviction that they have fallen in
the hottest cause ever submitted to the
arbltrament of battle.

A Ballad.

Home they brought her warrior dead :
She nor sweoned. nor uttered cry
All her maidens, watching, said
She must weep or she will die.
Then they praised him, soft and low,
Called him worthy to be loved,
Truest friend and noblest foe;
Yet she neither spoke nor moved.
Stole maiden from her place,
Lightly to the warrior stepped,
Took the face-cloth from the face
Yet she neither moved nor wept.
Rose a nurse of ninety wears,
Set his child upon her knee
Like summer tempest came her tears
Sweet my child, live for thee

THE AEOLITIONISTs.

has been esteemed term Of reproach by
many people in the North. A great
change has taken place in public opinion
yet there are still mauy people, patriotic,
we suppose, and sensible about most
things, who rail at an aboltionist as q
miserable being, fl only to be coupled
with a traitor. The time for such talk is
past. 1t is new merely indicative of
weak brain, or deep-rooted prejudice,
OF p total failure to comprehend the issue
involved in the war we are waging.
We leave the past of Aboitionism to
stand or fall by its own merils-it has
shown signal virtues and glaring faults
but we assert that today, every honest
man in the Nation, who has a just ap
probation of the Principles which are
now struggling for the mastery, and the
results which necessarily flow from the
success of the one or the other, is an Alb
olitionist.
The President has made an Abolition
Proclamation, aud sl Of one great politi-
cal party, and many of the other, give it
a hearty endorsement.
We have no great love for the negro.
We don't ike bis style, yet at the same
time. we wish to have justice done him,
and do not think the color of his skin Il
crime 50 great as to r;ghtfuily deprive
him Of The natural rights which God has
given to every human being. When his
presence is distastefuI to us, we can re-
member he did not willingly emigrate to
this country. but was stolen and con-
PEELED to come by white men. So mnclI
for the negro.
We believe that this country was in
tended for the white man; that God re
served it as place where the Anglo
Saxon race-the best tyre of man, sho'd
work out the problems of Society and
Government, and produce hitherto I'M
known development of Christian ciyilza,
ton.
Now the system of slavery j. necesse
rily at war with those democratic ideas
upon which tho whole structure Of our
Government rests.
Il neceSsi;ates ignorance.
Ii fosters crime.
It impover'shes State.
1t ele,atcs the few and degrades the
many.
From the first, slavery has been the
only dangerously disturbing element in
cur politics. AT last, dcthroned by the
people, it has clstched at the throat Of
the Republic.
1t has deied its authority.
[. has Decorated its flag.
1t has insul;ed the memory of our
fathers.
1t has stolen our trcasme.
1t has mur lerel our relatives and our
friends, and now alarms tie Nation with
tue thunder of its hostile guns, and the
tread of its traitorous legions.
1t is damned with every infamy-
black with every crime.
Who, to-day. would not be an Adolf
zionist?
We are one, and we are SO because
the good Of the white man demands It.
We are an Abolitionist, that we may
help rid the Nation of the viper in its
bosom-that the millions of poor whites
in the South may have the door to edu-
cation and respectful lily open 10 them
that the Nation may have permanent
peace, and our children be spared rep
ition Of the terrible ordeal Through which
We are Eow passing.
