NaaOlssH, sseoTFstsa by the Aenadla Princes Of tins
house Of Orleans, when he heard that ominous Adng
in his rear, sought refuge on board the Galena and
there planned another brilliant movement which, in the
eyes Of the ignorant, was looked upon g retreat,
whit the sbashed North ives called upon to abate it,
murmur and be prepared for startling and splendid
achievement, which had no parallel for briliaucy,
no precedent bOldness of execution. The P agmatic
inquire Who knew too much OF other peoples bust
ness and not enough Of their own were OVer-prone to
pronounce this wonderful strategy humbug aod dslu-
siOn and to declare that the splendid movement which
was her lded under the ad eaptand Of "a change Of
base was but the gldsd pill Of bitter disaster and sad
defeat
Il appears, however, that tho good people Of the
North subbony refuse to be laugh. the lessons of ex
peEience. The wasting FIRE of the BATTLEFIELD their
hecatombs OF dead which, in the eyes of the world rise
as q monument Of h ir folly, are UNDECIDED by then.
They will not be taught; aud though the destroyer
stalks over their land dealing misery and ruin with bis
red right hand, It Il do tLey ush mady TO their
own destruction until they shall bs checked in their
mad career by an all wise PfovidInos. The gig ntc
hunbug, Grant, Who drunk With the praises Of bic
Northern thuriierSries, had determined to make
short WORK of the "big job" imposed on him,
boaslfuly gave out to the Wsrld that he Houd fight it
out on that lireif it took him all sum1sr." Need
say that the seAred leaf ruling past adnenlshes
that the fierce has nearly spent its wrath; and
whist it has taken him very nearly all summer to fight
it OUT his line ia imaginary ss trat upon which the
ancien mariner" shot the abatro:s. Indeed that line
so long and of diverse locations, that it to be
hard find the end OF the rope which the jolly jack
tar being unable to haul up declared that some had
cut of. What with LsO's "Ietreats" and Grants
pursuits that line has been anything but the trite
deRiton given Of is ccgnate in the first book Of Euclid
Il now seems thai dissatisfied with his experiment, which
las been performed at the small cost Of 10000 men,
Grant, still fighting it that line" ID about invOkiOg
the virtue Of "change Of base" and is now hurryng
his shattered and covering columns to the line of the
Upper Potomac.
OF course the Northern papers will applaud the ga
gacity Of the movement, and will ash admiring pub
lie e1ut in the splendid gsneralshp which, after
having dsluded the enemy by mere semblance of
force in his 'front.' has actually transferred the seat of
operations ne rer the Northerh Ospital

that bis cavalry amounts to FIVE thousand five hundred
Is ,5OO)
Detailed seeOsnts given Of the recent engage

accuracy they ellm that the Confederate forces we're
completely routed with the lose of ak buudred prison

BY Avsrin twenty five miles.
They assert that they captured Bradley Johnson and
all his staff With the colOrs Snl ordnance trains of his

A Chan q Of Base.

Among the many wonderful achievements Of the
Yankee Generals the frcical piece Of ssrlegy which
has been deuOminatsd "a change Of base" is unquss-
siOuably the most wonderful. We all remember how,

had successfully lOunced, ike lion, upon Banks,
Shields and Fremont and utterly routed the hessians
under them, he suddenly appeared in the rear Of the
