ON Ann m DEEP WATER-Mr. Lincoln
has not told any one % little story" since the
resignation OF Mr.. Chase. SO long a It Ia
merely . question Of the defeat Of an army
and the loss Of the lives Of FIVE or six thousand
Union soldiers, he can indulge Joke with the
ordinary gusto. He can even laugh at the
failure Of . pet scheme Of his own now and
then. But when events suddenly force him to
see the power Of great combination opposed
to his reelection, be appreciates that be b
living In serious times. The disgust Of the
whole country at the p.st career of the blum
dering trifer is concentrated in the Senate, and
inspires the oylposi ton of that body to Mr..
Lincoln, apS the presence Of an opposition
thus iwIpired would naturally take the laugh
out OF the most inveterate joker. This oppo-
hition, developed through the recent change In
the Cabinet, has taken 1t out Of Mr. Lincoln.
He appreciates that In times like these jokes
will not tell, and he instinctively keeps quiet
It is to be hoped that his serious mood will
continue, in order that the country may judge
whether be is any more ct to be President
when he is in earnest than at other times.
The Judgment Of the country upon this point
may determine the question Of his reelection.

TIE Rebel Raid Down shenanooah
Vaiiey-Thesoespcr Straits OF Gene
raj Lee.
The rebel raid down the Shenandoah valley
according to our latest advices, instead OF being
a formidable diversion by General Ewell's en-.
tire corps of twenty or thirty thousand veteran
soldiers Of all arms. has dwndled down to 4
petty plundering fcray by body OF five or ak
thousand men. We suspect, however, that this
means the force At Harpcr's Ferry, and that, in
Guiding the various other cooperating detach-
ments scattered along the Potomac, between
the Point of Rocks and Hancock, the whole
force engaged in this movement can hardly be
less than ten or fifteen thousand men.
General Hunter, by the close reconnaissance
OF sharp engagement or two near Lynch
burg, had discovered that he was in the pres
ence of rebel column. or several converging
columns, largely superior to his own. He fell
back, accordingly, in a northwestcrly direction,
leaving the Shenandoah valley proper open;
and the enemy, instead of pursuing him across
the mountains, moved down the valley, evil
IDENTIFY for the purpose of capturing such Of
bis detachments and depots OF supplies as might
fall in their way between Staunton and the
Potomac rivera distance down the valley
OF one hundred and thirty or forty miles.
The question which still remains to be set
tied is this: have the superior rebel forces that
were gathering round General Hunter near
Lynchburg descended the valley e., maese TO
cut off bis supplies and to cut up the Balti-
more aud Ohio Railroad, and to make another
incurson into Maryland aud Pennsylvania for
horses, cattle, -four, shoes, &c. end then to
return up the valley with their punder? or has
only small portion Of Ewels corps advanced
to scare the people along the northern border
Of the Potomac, while larger division has
remained behind TO at,e,d TO General Hunter?
Whatever may now be the real movements
of the large bodies OF troops detailed from
Lees main army to arrest, in the first place, the
destructive work Of the Yankees on his
western depots and lines of subsistence, we
shall soon ascertain As an experiment in
tended 10 divert General Grant from the work
before him OF Petersburg and Richmond to the
protection Of Washington, this Shenandoah
valley movement from Lees army has signally
failed We are indeed strongly inclined to
believe that It will soon be proved 70 be the

The FEuD N THE REPUBLICAN PAvTY IN Brook
LYS.-We publish elsewhere resolutions offered
at the meeting of the Union General Com,
mittee in Brooklyn, on Tuesday night, from
which it appears that TIE feud IN the repub-
lican party has broken ont badly in the
CITY of Churches. i seems that there Il 4 SPLIT

declaring that its professions are hypocri'ica,
and It's leaders in Brooklyn are using Infamous
means to manipulate aud control it. But the
signifca ce Of this quarrel, breaking ont at
this time ia made known in the resolution d.
claring that the leaders in the Union League care
now in favor of nominating some other cand-
date for the Presidency than Abraham Lncolnu
When II il understood that the men alluded to
in tie resolution as leaders now hold positions
in the Custom House, and are and have been
adherents of Secretary Chase, the Importance
and significance of this contest are made appa-
rent. j is the Cabinet quarrel extending TO
the rank and nle OF the party, and only the
commencement OF the breaking up Of the
shoddy crew, which can no longer be held to-
gether by even the cohesive power Of public
plumber.
The idea Of their informing the public that
the pretensions and professions of the League
organization are hypocritical perversion OF the
facts is certainly cool, even in this hot weather
The public generally have long since looked
upon them as humbugs, pretending one thing
and really doing something else. II is merely
trap to catch men who are every few years
taken in and done for by the manipulating POI
liticans. The movement In the General Com
mittee, however, only proves that the Sight In
the party has become exceedingly bitter, and
instead Of decreasing rs the Presidential cam
paign progresses, 1t is daily growing more
fierce, showing, as we long since stated
that II will be impossible to harmonic the
party upon Old Abe and that he IL in
danger Of being disastrously defeated by the
dissensions in bis own party We suspect that
these resolutions were offered upon the dis
covery Of = plot to turn one of the most i'm

Old Abe. How pleasant Il is for political
brethren to dwell together in such unity.
