served Georgia and secured command
ing position around the enemy. Rose
Grams, on the other hand, has acquired
all that s0e hare lost He has reached
Chattanooga and fortified it, taken up
the river line as his base, and now pre-
pares quietly to winter in his new quar-
tiers, leaving us uncivilly out in the cold
to take care of ourselves as best we can
or must. Physically, and to all appear
snces, in the aggregate he is the gamer;
for, after the prisoners, standards and
artillery taken at Chicamauga are count
ed, our vic DRY is told, whilst our deficit,
in the long sum total, glory included,
does not make up for any results yet
achieved
In a word, we have lost ten or
twelve thousand men without gaining an
equivalent in producing territory. The
whole question, therefore, turns upon the
situation, and what we will do with it.
In military circles, it is generally be-
ieved that Rosecrans has blundered into
position which, improved by an adver-
sary of genius, might be turned in three
adroit movements to his eternal ruin.
If this be so and the movements spec
ulated, but by no means explained, are
made, the victory of Chicamauga will be
complete and the many lives there sacri-
feed will become as so many trophies
to noble work But if this opinion be
false and the movements suggested as
possible fail to be made, and we contin-
ne to gaze listlessly from the bold knobs
of Missionary Ridge upon comfortable
barracks of the blue varlets below, then
may we tremble for the next campaign
for as sure as there is any surety in the
future, the Spring of "a must see us far
from the borders of Georgia, or near to
the verge of destruction. Nail it to your
door post, men of the South, and refuse
to.be deluded into any other belief! Food
and raiment are our needs. We must have
them. Kentucky and Tennessee can
only supply them Better give up the
seacoast, better give up the Southwest,
aye better to give up Richmond
without a struggle, and win these,
than lose the golden field, whose grain
and wool are our soul hope The enemy
bias just one army too many in the field
for US. We must crush this overplus;
we must gain one signal, Stonewall Jack
son campoign. Destiny points the very
place. Be Rosecrans the victim. De-
feat him-pulverize him-run hi to the
Ohio river-and then close the war with
the next summer And how2 Nothing
easier. The bee which has already stune
our flank so long, once disposed of, our
triumphs and legions have clear road
before them. Fed sumptuously through
the winter, we'll shod and clad, they have
only to meet dispirited foe, retake the
valley OF the Mississippi, secure the
election of peace Democrat 20 the
Presidency in the Fall, and arrange the
terms of treaty and independence.
These results can be accomplished
nowhere else than in this department
The Northwest is our real adversary.
:" No matter how often we whip the
East, the effect is still born to the end
Let US teach the true contestants lessor
of peace and soberness, and the differ
ence will be seen as speedily as our neet
calls for the deed.

New York, October 1.-THE Post
Washington correspondent says:
Meade was three weeks ago ordered to
fall back on Centreville.
Lee, discovering the retreat, tried to
take advantage of it, but failed in the
attempt
The army Of the Potomac is now in an
impregnable position. 1t stands on the
defensive, ready to strike blow at the
enemy.
The present position Of our army is
vastly safer for defensive operations than
that held by it one week ago.
1t was almost impossible to protect 80
miles of railroad across the billy and
woody part of Virginia
Lee is quits strong in numbers-much
stronger than he was two months ago.
He has not been reinforced by conscripts,
but by troops gathered from the vicinity
of Richmond
The Herolds rebel correspondent in
Baltimore declares that Lee is very weak;
but it will be remembered that he said
that Lee was about to invade Maryland

THE VERY LATEST
TELEGRA PH.
From the Army Potomac.
Worlds and Herald's Sensations
Their Efforts to influence the Stock
MarIxafa

WASHINGTON, October l6.-The Army
of the Potomac has retreated thus far,
closely pressed by Lee
A battle would probably have been
fought on the old Bull Run battle field
yesterday, had Meade accepted.
Lee moved heavily on his flank, when
Meade becoming alarmed, fell back. 1t
is intimated that Lee is going into Mary
land again.
The Herald dispatch says reports
from the front indicate movement by
the enemys cavalry towards the Poto-
mac.
In addition to large number of SOL
diers / 900 men have been detailed from
the conyalescent camp to work on the
defences of Washington.
The best opinion is that large rein
forcements have been sent from Bragg 5
army to enabled him to make dash
on Washington. Lee has pushed US
back with mere handful of men, or he
has large army to sustain him.
If the latter is true, an attempt to
flank Meade by attacking Washing ton
may be expected.
The Times despatch ssays there was
no fighting yesterday in front.
Reports exist here this morning that
Lee has sent part of his army up the
Shenandoah Valley.
1t is certain that Lees army crossed
the R.ppahannock on Wednesday.
Meade is located at Centreville.
1t is said that Lee has only FIVE days
rations with him.
The rain is falling rapidly to-day, and
no military movements are in progress.
The roads across the Potomac are mud
| dy, and it would be difficult for an army
to move.
The hsighths of Centeryille are ours,
and the disposition of the general corps
is such as to defeat any attempt at a
flank movement.
We hold Fairfax Court House in such
force that the enemy dare not venture
on our right flank. 1t is reported, but
not on any satisfactory authority, that
Lee was moving down the Shenandoah
Valley
1t is possible that Cavalry raid is
contemplated by the Rebels down the
Valley.
TheArmy of the Potomac grows strong.
er every day, and is able to hold the new
line, even if Lee is largely reinforced,
and will doubtless soon show that it can
do more than that
Gen. Halleck went down to the front
yesterday to hold a conference with Gen.
Meade.
He is back in his Office to-day, and il
is said ne is satisfied with the position Of
the army.

and adroit. Thus far the campaign,

above us, has no clearer, as it certainly

The few words of the Federal General
illuminate the whole page as ray from
dark lantern, and no man can close his
eyes to the somewhat painful glare which
they throw full upon him.
Not even Gen. Bragg himself can
contradict them, except with his sword,
and such strokes as it may please
heaven to send US through his hands in
the few days of fair weather just before
u.s. Unless we hasten to make hay when
the sun shine, the story as thus told, will
hold good through all time; the spring
will open untoward dangers to our arms;

pivot of its crisis, will drop like flower

must fade out of sight in rolling tor

The WAY to Obtain a piece of Land
for Nothing,


Some days ago we showed how man
of capital might make money BY invest
ing at the sale of Real Estate by Fos-
ter's executors on the 18th. And some
enterprising gentleman of capital acted
upon our advice
This encourages US to follow up the
subject and to show how a poor man, or
a man With very little means may get
nice garden spot near the city for moth
ing.
On the 2Sth inst, it appears that Hi
ram Nelson, Commissioner, win sell the
Durham property at auction-Consist-
ing in part of FIVE hundred and fifty
acres Of land, adjoining the city. OF this
there is three hundred and City acres of
timbered land, which will be sold in lots
Of zen, twelve, twenty and thirty acres
each.
Nov suppose you pay for one Of the
lots, little back from the 'front.' 500 per
acre, the timber is untouched and will
yield fifty cords Of wood to the acre.
Wood is worth 81 per cord in the mar
ket, and if you allow g per cord for
outing and hauling, still you have
enough wood to pay for the land, and
thus get the land for nothing.
But suppose this estimate Of quantity
OF value of wood should be little high,
let the purchaser select back lot, at say
S75 or $50 per acre, and he would havt
= surplus, after paying for his land, from
the sale OF the timber, and have the land
which, with the timber of, is cheap q
any such prices, free Of cost This cal
sulation viii be equally faTorabls wAs,
