the avidty with which they seize upon
opportunities to grow fat out of the blood

should be called "War Buzzards."

THS SITUATION.

A good deal of anxiety has arisen along the
border, in Maryland and Pennsylvania,
lest the Rebels should again cross the
Potomac upon another raid. 1t is
natural enough that the people
of that section Of country, in view of their past
experience, should entertain a lively apprehen.
sion of a renewal of the devasiations to
which they have 80 often, and sometimes need
lessly been exposed, but they are this time
we trust, without foundation. Such fears, how
ever, are infectious and the mere reports that
the people arc flying in expectation of an inva-
sion, create an annety elsewhere which has lit
tie other warrant. General Sheridan is evident
" acting with great caution and deliberation,
and his movements show that he is keeping a
very wary watch over those of the enemy.
1t is clearly his purpose not to rush down
the Valley till he Knows precisely what
no may have to encounter, or what force
he may leave behind him, even If the way were
not disputed bye considerable rebel force. How
large tina. force is, is still, probably, matter Of
conjecture. Early had with him originally about
IL, 600 men. There is good reason for beiev-
ing that ho has been positively reinforced by
about twelve thousand. There is hardly
doubt that other reinforcemcnts have been
sent him from Richmond, but how many is not
certain. The caution which Gen. Sheridan is
exercising is, perhaps, owing to his incomplete
knowledge Of the strength Of the enemy.
That he is quite able to Withstand it, what
ever it may be- seems clear from The result
Of the fight near Charlestown on the DIST. But
one Of the three Corps was seriously engoged,
and the loss in that was not heavy. No ground
was lost. Whether the rebels really mean an
advance, or whether they ore only fighting to
cover a retreat, Femains yet to be seen. neither
case General Sheridan seems able to take care OF
them.
From the Army Of the Potomac we hear that
the rebels have made another vigorous attack
to recover the Weldon road, but without success.
They were unable to repeat the surprise of
Friday, and our troops still maintain their po-
sition. Gen. Lee by this time, understands tho
movement to the North Of the JGmcs

DEsMAnK AND GEwusNY.

The official publication of the prcliminares of
peace agreed upon of Vienna could not fail to
produce in Denmark painful sensation. The
Liberal party bad accepted the new reactionary
Ministry in tie hope that they would be able TO
obtain from the anti-lberal Governments Of
Prussia and Austria more acceptable conditions
of peace than a Liberal Ministry. This hope
has been sorely disappointed, and the liberals
therefore complain that to obtain such peace,
the King need not have dismissed a Ministry
which possessed the confidence Of the country.
No voice, however. is raised in favor of con
tiuing the war. The mpossibility to obtain any
thing from the Allies by force of arms is no
longer doubted, and as Jutland will be o., uped
