THE news from the army this morning
looks rather more encouraging than that
which has greeted us for several days past
The battle of Wednesday may be more ap'
propriately termed Union victory than
any of its predecessors. Of this we have
some substantial and tangible proofs, more
to be regarded than the mere possession OF
the battle field after the days fighting Is
over Four thousand prisoners and ~
pieces of artillery captured from the enemy
are a reliable token of success. In Judging
of the position and condition of the oppo-
sing armies it is best to look simply at the
facts stated, and discard the opinions ex
pressed in the dispatches. Our opinions
are nearly always colored by our Wishes
but facts constitute the basis Of all truth.
Especially in time Of great popular ex-
element like the present, opinions, wheth-
er thoy come from officers in the army,
parties at Washington City, or newspaper
editors hundreds of miles from the seat OF
war. are unreliable and likely to mislead.
We give the dispatches, therefore, Tor
what they are worth. exhorting our readers
to make up their opinions from the .tacss
therein stated Our own belief is as we
have expressed it above. -

- ON last Tuesday, while our army was
struggling in the bloodiest conflict OF this
bloody war, and while the death shots we're
falling thick and fast and sending to CORY
graves smany brave souls of heroes" the
little knot of abolition agitators who have
been laboring for thirty years to bring about
such scenes as arc now transporting IN VIZ
ginia, met in New York TO celebrate the
Anniversary of the Anti-slavery society,
and to congratulate each other upon the
success they have achieved. Garrison &c
cupied the chair, and George Thompson and
Tiltou and Phillips and Mrs. Mott and SUI
san Anthony aud all the lesser lights and
small fry of the long haired society were
present; the negroes sat among tho ladies,
miscegenation was triumphant and sail went
merry as marriage bell" The deep sound
of cannon on the Rapidan fell not upon
their ears "like a rising knell;" the conscious
mesa that thousands of souls Of their fel'
low men-white men-were being hourly
summoned to the bar of the Judge of oil
the EARTH bed not their complacency
and narred not their festivities. AT sale
distance from the scene of strife, when bet
ter men than they, were offering up their
lives, the abolitonists reported, commented
on and passed their exultlng resolutions
Forgetful or uncaring for the fact that thou
sands of their sisters were weeping at home,
10 all the agony of anxiety, for the safety OF
loved ones engaged in the fray, or in the
bitterness of de|olation. moaning over the
mangled corpse of son, husband, or a
father slain, women were found who parties
dated in the Anniversary reioicings, harang
ued the audience from the platform on
which negroes and whites were seated in
terms ofintimate familiarity, and out raved
the maddest of the mad fanatics, in rcloic
ing over the carnival of blood.
And these men and these women call
themselves ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
From such reformation as has plunged our
country into the present dreadful war, and
from such philanthropy as has brought un
uttersble woe to millions of the human race,
may a merclful Heaven protect us hence
forth. -
