Ing to Us in either view. Most especially
since the battle on the Rappahannock, in
which one division of this splendid army
was routed and driven like sheep, and the
rest, fighting bravely enough, we're over
powered by the less splendidly shining
soldiers Of Lee.
It appears that Mr.. Lincoln and Mrs.
Lincoln and Master Lincoln reviewed

Mrs. Lincoln rode Gin a carriage drawn

Lincoln, booted and spurred, rode bravely
by the side Of tie President, followed by
his dashing little orderly" General
Hooker and brilliant array of officers
attended the cavalcade, and a troop of
laucers galloped after. The day was
cloudy. with a few bright flashes of sun
shine. The number OF soldiers reviewed
was immense. We do not know the exact

il either the English or French sovereigns
ever saw such large and veteran army
as that which NJ. Lincoln, Mrs. Lincoln
and Master Lincoln beheld last week.
And we have our advantage of Europe in

polished aud gentlemanly looking person
than Honest Old Abe; but our President
was always superior TO the Prince in m
