THE ARMIES IN MARYLAND.

The week opens with 10 imporian! change,
so far as We are at present advised, in the
relative positions Of the two armies in Mary
land. Lee, apparently, ia still seeking to cross
the Potomac, while Meade is pressing closely
upon bis rear either to bring him to battle or
harass him in his retreat. According TO one
account, the Rebel General has massed his
troops at Failing Waters, point-the ford
opposite Bedenton on the map-chosen with
his usual skill as most fitted for his purpose.
The river here makes bend in horseshoe
form, so that his army is protected on two
sides by the river tself, as he falls back to the
place where he proposes to cross.
Meade has access TO him, therefore, in
that case from ono direction only and he
may be able to make good his defense there
until the main body Of his army is in safety
on the other side. The account Of our special
correspondent, who arrived yesterday from tho
front, differs from that sent us by telegraph
from Washington, and we are more inclined to
credit it. He says that the Potomac had
fallen FIVE feet, was then still falling, aud that
it was already fordable for horses. II this
be true, and unless it is again swollen
by the rains of yesterday few hours
would probably render it passable for infant
ry. In that case Lees escape seems
probable, if he does not choose to give battle,
except from such harassment to bis rear as
Meade may be able to make by a rapid move
ment. The account of our correspondent as
to the condition of the Potomac no received
from an officer from below, whose business it
was to know. That Lee had not crossed last
evening, however, seems certain, and az Meade
is still feeling his way with caution. the prob
ability is either that the river is still 10 full as
to forbid the attempt to cross it, or that Lee
awaits an attack.
The statement of our correspondent that the
Rebel army was concentrating at Falling
Waters he derived from q farmer, we'll
known and Trustworthy man, who arrived with
his family within our lines on Saturday. He
was not likely to be mistaken us TO the
fact that Rebel troops occupied the PENN
sula there made by the river, though he
may be as to their number. Another
report is that they are throwing up intrench-
ments at Williamsport, but there is no evidence
that this is any other force than that just driven
from Hagerstown. Both armies, it is evident,
are moving with great circumspecton-on
striving for q favorable position for defense,
the other for attack.
New-York daily tribune., 1863-07-13

Affections. In the department Of the Gulf the
white troops suffer in the proportion of 1913 per
cent; the black troops of 0.s; or, in other
words, eleven white soldiers to one black. The
experience of the British Government through
series of years, has been similar, being in
these terrible numbers: Jamaica, 1893 white,
to S.2 black; Bahamas, 159 to Sc; Honduras
81 to a.; Sierra Leone, 41O to "a.
These fierce facts should stimulate to the
most poignant degree the action of our Gov
ernment in the employment of black troops.
We have now, at the end of more than two
years of the war, but few cOlored regiments
in the field; when, by every impulse OF COM
mon sense, and an apprehension especially OF
the axiom that the right man should be in the
right place, we should have many such regl-
ments. There ought to be now at least twenty
to ono of the actual force Of black troops.
The fearful lie that they would not fight Is
dssipated forever; the most venomous Copper
head will not hiss it longer. Every energy
then, should be put forward in view OF actual
needs, and the threatened European Compllca-
tions with our affairs, to increase this arm OF
defense.

PENNSHIyAyGA.

There have been unnecessarily, but not un-
usually, harsh things ,ald against Penn'ylyania
IN regard TO her want OF preparation for The
recent Rebel invasion. The distinction should
be drawn between the last Copperhead Legs
la,urs and the entire action aud spin. of the
people during the war, from the time when
the Pennsylvania soldiers were the fret 10
hurry TO Washington at the breaking out OF
hostilitcs, I'LL the present moment. There IS
among the loyal States no large State, or ag-
gregation OF the smaller States, which has
made greater contributions Of troops, or suffered
more in the war, than Pennsylvania. Up To
the beginning Of this year Pennsylvania fur
nshed over TWO hundred thousand troops, not
including the fifty thousand mitin under the
call of lsG2. Before the battle Of Gettys-
burg thirty seven thousand Pennsyl'nninns
had laid down their lives for their country
Pennsylvania is the only State which has or
gained ut her own expense iirst-class reserve
force amounting TO nearly sixteen thousand
men. This organization acted under MAJOR
Gen. Mccall, Brig. Gen. Meade, Brighten.
Reynolds, and Brig. Gen. Ord. 1t was ready
fQr service two ysars agoi and By the act OF
the Legislature Authorizing its existence (undsr
the Three Million State Loan) it was for Tue
support of the military forces Of the State or
Of the United States. IL was soon absorbed
by the Army of tho Potomac, and variousiy
distinguished itself. The glorious death OF Key
nolds, and the glorious work and position oi
Meade, are proofs of tho skill shown IN The
selection Of tho officers from among tho Iehh'
sylyanans commanding the Reserve.
As tho frat reserve OF Pennsylvania was
taken by the General Government, it is prob
able that second or third one would have
been equally needed out Of the State under
bad generalship, aad tho State left as defense
less as she was at tho opening OF the late IN.
yasion. No worse spirit, however, than that
which led to tho election of such men Us Soy
mour, Wood and the like, prevailed IN the
Legislature OF Pennsylvania; and that and the
good nature Of the General Government in por.
mitting the fullest expansion to Copperhead
IDEAS in both States, was the cause OF tho sue
cessful invasion of Pennsylvania Tor few days.
But had the Reserve force been allowed to
act as reserve, in accordance with its name
and not fought through tho battles OF the
Peninsula, up to that Of Chanceorsville-no
Rebel troops would have invaded Pennsy vania,
either in the cavalry raid Of 1862 or tho gen.
eral attack Of 1863. The last call of Gov.
Curtin. for sixty thousand additional troops,
too, let it be borne in mind, has been quickly
responded to. The three months men are
pouring in as fast as they can be enrolled.

TIE NEW INITIATIVE OF MURDER

From the beginning of our present contest
the Rebel leaders have evinced an unwayerlne
resolve to initiate general butchery of prls'
oners Of war at the earliest moment. They
have obviously calculated that this would pro-
duce such mutual evaporation that the North
and the South could never be reconciled. and
the ultimate success of the Rebellion would
thus be insured.
The latest outbreak of this demOniac spirit
of murder is as follows:
A few weeks since, Gen. Burnside caught
two Rebel captains (Wm. f. Corbn and L.
j. McGraw) prowlng over Kentucky, within
the lines of the Union armies, recruiting for
the Rebel army. These two captains were duly
arraigned, tried, convicted, sentenced and
shot, in accordance with the laws of war.
No General ever did or could permit such re.
cruiting for tho enemy within his lines; no
ono ever did or could regard the cmissarle'
caught at such business as prisoners OF war;
They were entitled to just such lenity as Wash
ipgton awarded to Andre-neither less nor
more.
Hereupon, jeff. Davis has selected by lot
two captains (Henry w. Sawyer of N. j. and
John Finn [Irishl of Indana) from among
tho Union prisoners Of war confined ut kch'
mond. and has ordered them to be killed IN
revenge for the execution Of his two captains
aforesaid. II is reported from Richmond
that the day for their execution hal
not yet been fxed and it may be thai
the tidings from Gettysburg, Nicksburt
and Helena, may exert saving inhu
ence. The probability is, however. that Sawyer
and Finn will be murdered, if they have not
already been.
Last year, Gen. Mcneil. Union commander
in Southern Missouri, gave fair notice that he
would not abide bushwhacking that is
shooting our officers and men within our own
lines by cowardly gucrrillas who played the par
Of peaceful Union farmers by day, and that o.
prowling Secesh cut.throats by night If any
wanted to fight for the Rebellion, they must &c
outside of our lines TO do il. or embody theII
forces in permanent insurrection. The Rebels
as usual, defed this order, and killed Unonisk
away north of the Missouri river, one hundred
miles inside of our lines. Gen. Mcneil there
upon selected by lot ten Rebel guerrillas, con
victed of having broken their parole and en-
gnged in Rebel raids while lawful prisoners o
war, and had them shot. JEFF. threatened re
taliaiion therefor, but We do not know that h'
ever fulfilled bis menace.
There il now large balance on the righ
side Of the prisoner account, and there should
be- no more exchanges until principles arr
clearly settled. II is our interest as well u
desire that the war should be- waged with hu
maniy while the Rebels are constantly invent
ing pretc,t, for raising the black flag. Let Vi
now know tho worst and prepare for it.

We say to those who honestly desire an
early and honorable Pence, Confde ia your
Government, and do not embarrass it by fac
tious or weakening demonstrations. The Gov
ernment is as anxious for true Peace as you
can be, and will neglect no opportunity to Sc
cure it. But meetings or clamors for Peace
in the loyal States. while none are permitted
in the disloysI, will only serve to postpone the
contamination. by exciting false hopes and i'm
pelling the Rebels to hold out for better
terms. Already the word is passed around
among them, "If We can but maintain our
selves q while longer tho Democrats will
come into power in "a, and will give Us what
ever we ask" This calculation 10 every way
fallacious, but 1t il none the less mischievous.
Let the Rebels realize that they have nothing
to hope from European Intervention or North
ern sympathy, and they will soon DO ready
for q genuine and lasting peaoc.
