THAsk Con FOR Your REAsoN.-If We
could write down the mercies which come
to us every year through our faculties, the
record would be wonderful for number and
variety. Take the fasulty Of reason alone
No man can estimate its blessings. Have
you ever seen the front of man from
which the light of reason had gone out?--
Is there anything more piteous than such q
sight2 Is there any imprisonment more to
be bewailed than that which is imposed by
the absence of reason? Go through the
wards of an insane asylum, and watch the
poor inmates, and then ask yourself, "Can
any man estimate the mercies of God
that simply continues my ,reasonP. But
what numberless other provisions Of lie,
10 less wonderful and benefcient than this

which sustains.

New YORK, Oct. 23.-A despatch to the
Herald says:
1t is said that Gen. Meade has made
frank statement of the preemptory instruc-
tions lately received by him to compel Gen.
Lee to accept a fight, which not having
been able to carry out to the letter, he de-
clared himself ready and willing to resign
his command. The President declined to
entertain any such proposition and General
Meade has gone back to his post.
1t is rumored that Lee has sent two more
divisions to support Bragg, and that he is
withdrawing the rest of his forces behind
the Notifications at fredericksburg.
Gen. Gregg's cavalry advanced on re.
connoissance yesterday within two miles OF
the Rappahannock and returned to camp
without finding any of the enemy.
Last night brisk fight was had with
the guerrillas in Fairfax county, in which
several were killed and a number taken
prisoners. Among the latter is Jack
Barnes, a notorious scoundrel, who has
been twice in our hands and was rescued
