what unsatisf factory inasmuch as we are
still left in the dark as to the ultimate OBJ

infantry moved out of Chattanooga to-

thirty-one miles distant, where there was
some fighting. The rebel position, how
ever. was turned, and the rebels fell back

Thursday, our forces were within three
miles Of Dalton, with prospect of enter
ing it during the day. We shall not at

movement, but give the comments of the

unusual means of information, on the sit

cannot be harmful to say that the main body

12 The tragical affair which has just hap
pened at our sister city, Minneapolis, and
the, frequency, now-a-days; of similar
occurrences, furnish just cause for moral
/ and public reflection upon the social de-
fects that lead to them. Is there not q
misadjustmept Of moral sense and public
criminal law, relating to these fast increas-
ing horrors Of murder and adultery 2 Are
they both frowned upon and punished as
they deserve? On the contrary, do we
not smile with Observation-Disclosures on the
villain who destroys the peace and happi-
ness of an innocent family? and do we
not, as if to keep up the parallel between
public and private, laxity in morals and
social order, even find in our indulgence
to adultery palliation for its sequence
murderous revenge? ~, -
81 Why, if adultery is regarded as a justi-
fication of willful murder, is it not repro
rbated and punished as an equal crime I?
Or. if. in view of the frailties of human
nature, the gallows is deemed too excess
i've penalty for the offence, why are not
both the guilty parties hidden for life, in
the walls of prison, and no longer per-
mitted to offend, with their presence and
example, the sense of public morals and
decency? Fog' 9ya8 lgosl = 1904
AS the law and public opinion NOV
stand, if we judge of the latter from pre-
soedent and experience, that act which be-
refts and dishonors beyond all redemption,
is rather attributed to rare good fortune
and excusable frailty than foul and morbid
oriminality, The adulterer is rather lion
lied than condemned; and though most of
the censure of public opinion falls on
the head Of the weaker party, still, her
"stoop to folly in these progressive
days, is by no means such blemish
on her fair fame but that wealth, social
rank and the curtain Of time may either
hide or wipe out the stain of transgres-
sion. Our statute on the subject has as
mu h the appearance of law to protect
the private preserver Of an injured party
as to punish as foul and base crime and
wrong this dastardly violation of marital
rights. 1t is provided that prosecution
shall not be made except on complaint of
the injured husband or wife and that no
such prosecution shall be commenced after
one year from the time when the offence
was committed, thus treating it rather as
private than a graat moral crime and
public wrong. @
Now the legitimate fruit of all this So
cial complacency and legal indulgence is
that the evil and corrupt of both sexes
consider opportunity as the only license
required for their transgression and the
I outraged husband finds, in the absence
of legal punishment for his own injuries
and the habitual sympathy Of the public
for his misery and wrongs, an incentive to
revenge and palliation for murder! Thus
occurred the tragedy Of .Sickles and Keys
we are compelled to publish as public
journalists almost daily similar horrors
and now it seems that all the hitherto
boosted morality, piety, purity and immac-
culate prudence, aided by their power OF
water. has not been sufficient to exempt
our sister city from the prevailing abom-
nation. AAN AAA 80

lance of importance was met with until

Early made repeated attempts to flank
Custar and Powell, in all Of which he
failed. Some magnificent charges were
made by the Union cavalry. The rebels

After gaining suficientinformation Of
Early's strength, objects aud position,
the National fo:ccs commenced to retire.
Some feeble attealpts to follow and an
noy we're made, but without success to
the enemy, and Custer and Powell re-.
turned down the Valley with their com.
mand in safety, having lost in killed,

men.
The dispatches furnish confirmation
Of the report that some Of Early's men
had been withdrawn from the Valley,
but these, the rebels say, have been re-
placed by scattered detachments from
various sections.
Early's headquarters arc between
Timbervilie and New Market, and his
army is stretched across the Shenan-

resting in luray Valley, and both TANKS

His situation is said to be we'll suited
