of States by the War Department,

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Commercial says that Lee is
not pushing Mead back, but is moving as
rapidly as possible in parallel line on
his right flank, thus compelling our army
to retreat to avoid being fanked or having
its rear intercepted after Stonewall Jack
sons famous movement in the same way
He adds: The rebel army has made no
less than three or four attempts to flank
Mead in each of which it has been foiled
From the Rapidan to Manassas the rebels
have been out-marched, out-maneuvered
and out generated. Gen Meade has shown
quick COMPREHENSION of Lees plans.
He did not remain quietly sixty miles
away and let the willy rebel march round
to his rear, thus placing the Federal army
between the Rapidan and the enemy but
has moved, when Lee moved and whcnev-
er the latter comes fairly in his front in
line of battle, then will come the third
great struggle on the historic field of
old Bull Rum Our army has retreated
but 1t retreats tofgM | have accurate
intelligence that the army is full of con-
hdencc in Meade, in excellent condition
and spirit, and with its short rest is now
anxious for the impending battle with all
of its fearful import, let us pray for death

when it was finally ascertained that they
yere yet in their sleeping room, and the
belief general that if dead they had suf-
located. An entrance was Immediate
ly effected, and it was not till the bodies
were brought to the open air that the hor-
rible murder was discovered Such was
the particulars of one of the most horri-
Bile of murders ever committed, and OF
which the annals of crime can hardly pro-
duce an equal in cold blood atrocity, and
which is charged upon Fred F. Streeter,
formerly of this place, and previously at
Brattleboro. The evidence duplicating
him, we have already published. When
his final trial takes place, we are not in
formed, but probably shall be in due time.
Streeter is understood to be deserter
from the army, in which he enlisted in
1861, as a sharp-shooter. His standing
while here was not at all favorable, and
he was looked upon by many as bad
man. The most disastrous fire which ever
happened to this place, and from which
the village has not yet recovered, was
generally attributed to him at the time,
some four years ago. He Was heavily in
sured. and that was supposed to have
been his motive. He married wife in
Westmoreland, N. H., who died year
ago, some say of grief at his conduct;
at all events he Was not worthy of her.
His life has been reckless, and his career
seems now soon to have an ignominious
close.-B. Z. Times.

CHARLESTON.

The report from Charleston harbor is
that a combined land and naval attack
was planned for Sunday the llth. If it
occurred we shall soon hear the result.
The plan was first to completely silence
and demolish Sumptcr, and then attack
Moultrie. while the feet should attempt to
enter the harbor. AT the same time 10
doubt Charleston was again visited by a
shower of Greek fire. Several days before
Gen Gilmore experimental with one or
two shells, and set fire to some buildings
in Charleston, which burned over two
hours On Monday night of last week
the rebels made an attempt to destroy the
frigate New Ironsides, which was lying
near Fort Moultrie. The attempt was
made with small, half submerged ram,
with large torpedo attached to the prov.
1t eluded the vigilance of the picket boats
and came upon the Ironsides unperceive1.
striking the vessel squarley amidship.
The torpedo exploded under the Ironside,
but did her no injury, while the attack
ing boat was sunk either by the explo-
sion or the fire from the steamer Several
men on the rebel craft were taken prison
ers and valuble information was found
upon them. Another attempt to destroy
the Ironsides is expected, as the rebels
have offered sixty thousand dollars in
gold for the job, so much do they feal

We notice that the Hon. Ben Wood still con-
tnucs to oppose the democratic State platform,
while protesting to support the democratic
State ticket The Hon. Horc. Greeley the
sorehead of the other party. will not endorse
either the republican platform or the repub.
lican candids.ttess d!.t.s This Is very curious and
amusing political muddle. We verify believe
that IL these two soreheads and leatherheads
were to be removed from the country politics
would cease to be funny and become merely
sensible and stupid.
BY opposing the democratic platform and
supporting the democratic candidates Ben
Wood is simply trying to do JEFF. Davis all the
service he can without harming himself.
This may be considered very shrewd dodge
in the Daily Ne,os office; but the rest Of the
world regards it as a very silly subterfuge.
The democratic candidates stand upon the
democratic platform. If elected they will be
elected not only upon the platform, but be-
cause Of the platform. The platform Is CON-
oil in favor Of a vigorous prosecution Of the
war. What will the Hon. Ben Wood say il
they all come out and pledge themselves to
this principle. We invite them 10 do so. Each
one Of them should at once write brief letter
endorsing the platform upon which they were
nominated, and these letters should be pub
lished, in order to satisfy the Hon. Ben
Wood; for he Is Of little account-but the con-
servative people of this State, who will GER
tainly not elect any man who repudiates the
war democracy and yet runs for office upon
democratic war ticket.
The Hon. Horc Greeley Is not as open in his
opposition as the Hon. Ben Wood. He creeps
and crawls and tries to stab the republicans In
the back. His opposition is disguised by his
hypocrisy, and takes the form Of Indifference
He is not bold enough to defy the party whip;
but he cringes and lodges the blows. lie dis
likes the republican platform because IL IL not
radical enough. lie will not heartily work for

master now, and he hates Seward with all the
venom which a discharged servant feels to-

is TO defeat the republican ticket and

and say:-"I told you so. We would have
II you had only allowed
me to write the platform and select the

gratiiied in this matter; but we can assure him
