The Fail of Burnside.

General Burnside tbs successor of Mcclellan in the
chief command of the Federal Army Of the Potomac
has fallen although he has not yet been removed
from bis position. He has fallen farther than Pope if
not quite so heavily as that braggart.
Beyond any doubt Burnside Yves undar strict orders
to Advance as political necessity, Mcclellan having
refused to co So on the ground that il military
impossbiIity Burnside does advance. He crosses the
Rappahannock at Fredericksburg. He is forthwith
knocked into cooked hat, and gets away back the
Rappahapnock under the cover OF night aud rain
This he admits 10 telegram to HalIeck. He says he
withdrew because it military necessity for him to
attack the enemy retire, and he could not attack.
The disaster at Fredericksburg threatened to break
up, ard partially did break up the Lincoln Cabinet for
the world held them and not Burnside responsible for
the advance which had checked by bloody defeat,
for it known shat refusal to advance had caused
hcClelans removal and it believed that Burnside
acting under the order Seward Chase gn-
ed aod the rest preparing to follow while Lincoln
himself felt 20 longer safe.
Under the circumstances to save LINCOLN & Co.,
BURNSIDE writes letter which, if true in its state.

~ man, and if untrue, ought to Condemn him to uni

with any regard for truth. He writes admitting that
he moved the army of the Potomac across the Kappa

and at ferent point. His reason for so doing was

Judge Saunders and the SOldHefs

We learn that Judge Saunders has suffered judg-
ment to be had tie Circuit, in any case civil or
criminal, against any soldier in service And far
thr, 10 the OF indictment against the shilling of
spirits the party submission, required to
render all the he had purchased for purpose of
stilling the magistrates of the county, about three
hundred bushels by them distributed for the sup
port of the destitute families OF the sodiers-thus
providing far in his power both for the soldiers
and their families.
We think the example of Judge Saunders Is worthy
of imitation by other judges but if the Judge does
not get the Legislature afte: him, it will be because it
has lost its zeal in the cause of private rights.

Six hundred thousand of the new Yankee levies are
nine months The time of most of them will ex-
pire before the next Summer has fully come. If they
mean to do anything they must dc it now and we may
rest assured that they will put forth all their efforts for
after this nine months levy is exhausted and DISCHARGED
they will not be able to get up another army and they
know IL.
If they know it, ace ought to know it too We ought
to know that though temporary and extraneous, the
power the enemy can now bring to bear is enormous,
and although his masses cowed and defeated, they
still formidable from their weight, discipline equip
ment and resources. Now therefore, is our TINA of
peril it is the crisis which must if properly avail
ourselves of ts opportunities eventuate in our complete
triumph
It is incumbent upon then, instead of being lued
into false security by recent victories to brace our
selves to meet severe trials than ever dur
ing the coming Spring. 1t may not be, but We may
fairly expect that all the orce that the combined army
aud navy of the LINCOLN government can bring to
bear against US during the Winter and Spring months
will be brought to bear. The land campaign in Viz
GINA and at the West is nearly closed If the FEEDER
als persist, it will be only advancing to their ruin
Under these circumstances anticipate the most &C.
tive operations the part of their naval forces. We
must brace ourselves up to meet another likely to
break upon our shores and may comfort ourselves
while doing so, with the reflection, that, though posi-
oily the most Violent 1t must in the nature of things be
the last Let the coming effort at invasion be hurled
back at almost any cost, and it will be hurled back
then the war is over.
No,U is our time to prepare-to be ready-to brace
up our nerves-to stand to our posts. Hereafter we
may think of other things.
