Grs. EwIsa.-Last week Gen. Ewing. the new
Commander Of Kensas, addressed q meeting Of the
citizens Of Ooaths and the surrounding country ex-
pressing his determination TO put down the inde-
pendent bands who now prey upon property on both
sides of the border. Said be, there are very many
men in Kansas who are stealing themselves rich 10
the name of Liberty. These men must lind some
other mode of giving effect TO their patriotic zeai.
As they want to kill Rebels, let them JOIN any OLD
regiment. or either Of the new ones about beng
raised. They can find in the services positions equal
to their energy, daring and talent, and can adorn
the service and be honored in it. The Government
will welcome them; it needs aud has right to the
service of ali men of enterprise who are at large
and it will not too closely discriminate against such
men because of irregularities In the past. Bats
whether they enter the service or not, now notify
them that they will be compelled to quit stealing,
or get out Of this District or get me out Of 1t.

Nobody has right to expect perfection in the

Of this eternal pratng. and this eter.

bility of Lees appearance east of the noun.
tains is prevented by the movement on Fred
erck, and the only remaining question seems
to be whether he shall DO brought to bay
north Of the Potomac or in the Shenandoah
Valley.
This well conceived and promptly executed
plan of Gen. Meade is as satisfactory evidence
of bis stategic, as the battles of Gettysburg
have been of his tactical ability. 1t might be
said that the first advance upon Gettysburg,
which has heretofore been pointed out as the key
of the Pennsylvania campaign, was so obvious as
to be inevitable, and therefore no particular in
dcation of great talents. But there are few
Generals who could have resisted the desire to
pursue the retreating Rebels on their own line.
To control that impulse, and to enter upon
wholly new combination with the grand object
of capturing Lees army, were perhaps equally
difficult efforts. Gen. Meade has accomplished
both, and we have far more conf ience in bis
complete and immediate success than if We had
heard that his advance was hourly engaged
with the enemy's rear.
The mobility of the Army of the Potomac
under its new leader is becoming more than
wonderful. and already surpasses the most
celebrated performances Of Stonewal Jackson's
corps. Fighting two great battles on Thursday
and Friday. on ground which it had reached
by protracted and continuous marches, it has
no sooner won them than it is again on the
wing and We hear Of it two days
afterward thrty-fve miles from tho battle
ground and still in motion. Nothing but ge-
MUS in its commander could have discovered
such capacity of endurance in ito soldiers. 1t
would seem that in this campaign nine days
marching at six miles day, and one days in
decisive fighting, are not quite tho limit OF
human endurance
