Some people are disposed to roll the
blame Of Hooker's defeat on the German
brigade that gave way before stoncwall
Jackson's whooping and screeching bat

that the efficiency and stcadincss Of those
regiments were seriously impaired by the

The recent order from the Departments Of
Gen. Burnside, Gen. Rosccrnns and Gen. Cur
til, looking to the sending of rebel sympa-
thizera outside Of the Federal lines, has given
rise to much Indignation and alarm among
thoee whom the orders affect. But In this
matter our government has precedent which
those who suffer from aud denounce its action
will acknowledge to be safe one. The lead

freedom Of the people to choose upon which
side their sympathies should be enlisted-un-

On Sunday afternoon last, after the usual
Vesper services at the Cathedral, Bishop
smyth addressed his congregation on the s1o-
ject Of secret societies. He alluded IN 1he

which several members Of his church had been

bad no good intentions towards the Govern
ment Of the United States.
hack, y Who, he had been informed By those
whose words he did not donbt, had been !
knoW-Nothtng elsewhere. Qt warned the
members Of his Church not to join that so:
ciety. He called to their memories similar
associations, which were once organized III
meat, the members Of which had been be-
trayed by the conspiTators, who had been
bribed, into the hands Of the British Govern
nient, to be tried for high treason. What evil
dence Lad they that these men who were
building this society in Dubuque, were any
Ireland: The rules of the Church did not
allow any of its members to belong to socie-
ties Of the kind, and If they joined them, the
moment they did so they were tpse tdeto out Of
the Tale Of .he Church. He would give those
members Of the Church who Joined the organ
ization two weeks to leave It, and then, if they
still continued in it, they might consider
themselves excommunicated. The Bishop
then concluded with most eloquent appeal
to his hearers to sustain the Government un-
der which they lived, to obey it's laws, cherish
proper respect for its rulers, and not be led
into any schemes which rendered to lessen
their lore for their adopted country and its
constituted authorities, which might be gotten
up By politicians.
The Copperheads who were engaged in or;
ganizing the society supposed they had things
III very fine why. They we're fecei5ing arms

ACT, and pointed out that the Americans
had always acted on its principles while
England was at war. He warmly impress
cd upon Government, and on the public at
l;rgc, the obligation as well as the impor-
tance, ofacting toward the American Coy
eFnment as it had always acted towards the
English, in spirit not only of gratitude for
their conduct, but of good faith and honor
able neutrality. He urged that:the Alabama
which was wholly equipped and manned
from England, and which it was admitted
lad escaped in violation Of the Law, ought
to be seized, as the only method Of putting
an end to these clandestine practices.
The cases both Of the Alabama and the
Peterhoh came under discussion; but the
Solicitor General would MT bulge an inch
from his old position, that the Government
had acted all right in the first, as well as
the last case. There was discrepancy, how
ever, between his opinion and that of Lord
Russell on the right Of boarding neutrals.
He maintained there was no such right,
except vessel Was caught attempting to
run the blockade; whilst Lord Russell says
the right is absolute in all cases where there
is any suspicion Of ship being contra
band. And so the lawyers differ, and
Wilkes goes ahead, and there is real like
ihood Of war before long.

TIE SITUATION.

Positive assurances not only Of the
safety but Of the good morale Of Gen.
Hooker's army, Of the entire success OF
Stoneman's cavalry raid, and of the ability
and disposition Of Hooker to quickly take
the field ngain,-thcse assurances, coming,
from the Secretary Of War to Acting Coy
ernor Hoffman OF this State, confirming
all that we dared hope in yesterdays Tn1-
BuHE, and promising continuation of the
campaign auspiciously begun, were source
Of comfort and encouragement to the pco-
rle OF this city, yesterday, the value Of
which can hardly be oreres,imated.
The bulletin announcing these facts,
and Of course correcting the absurd,
lying and exaggerated rumors Of the New
York papers, was posted.at our office about
11o'clock in the morning; and as soon as
knowledge Of its announcements was
spread over our city, VIC could see in the
Geer breathing fthosein whom fear Of dis
aster had caused deep emotion, md in the
more animated and cheerful faces that
greeted Us at every turn, as well as in the
more malicious scowling and ayerted looks
of the Copperheads, that the joyful news
Tas believed. 1t was God-sendl
And now what next? Let loyal men
take heart five are not deceived in the
extent and value Of the work TINT Stone
mnn did, in the loss that the enemy suffer-
cd, and in Hooker's ability to renew the
fight, the day Of our great triumph is not
far of. While our army is safe, resting On its
base Of supplies, the danger that the rebels
incur by the loss Of their communications
at their. rear, is not removed by the with.
drawal Of our forces. Their position is
full of peril and we at t1ds distance and
with our limited information of the s1tua-
tion, do not see how it can be improved
before our now worn and exhausted troops
are once more ii condition to re-cross the
Raprahannock and renew the fight. We
shall not be surprised to hear that Lee,
leaving his pickets at Fredericksburg, has
retreated with his whole force upon Rich
mond, to find behind the entertainments
there the safety which Hookcr's recent
operations destroyed. But few days
will tell the whole story, and we refrain
from all attempts to point out what may
and probably will be, until we 1esrn more
in detail and with greater accuracy, what
has been. In the meantime, our conf
dence in Hooker's genius and carncstness
is unimpaired! We shall greet him as
victor yet!
