SubpOsinga Case.

Suppose General Lee had moved for
ward ten days ago and hanked Grants
position at Culpepper that Grant had
marched to meet him and had been re-
pulsed in a two days battle and COM
PEELED to fall back toward Washing
ton; that he had been attacked in his
new position, and after losing several
batteries of artillery and thousands of
prisoners, had been compelled to fall
back again, with Lee pressing on his
rear Suppose at the same time rebel
feet and army had been thrown up
the Potomac. that the army had been
landed without opposition near Fort
Washington, and had been marched q
cross the country so as to occupy the
line of railroad between Washington
and Baltimore, threaten both cities, and
prevent US from sending reinforce
ments to Grant Suppose a rebel cav
airy force had landed at the head of
Chesapeake Bay, and cut the roads a.
bove Baltimore, and, sweeping through
the country, had joined the enemy
north Of Washington that another ca
valry force had passed through the val

bridges on the Baltimore and Ohio
Road. and that still another body of re-
bel cavalry had appeared between
Grants army and Washington, defeated
our cavalry, destroyed trains, depots,
bridges and supplies, threatened our
lines on Arlington flights, and, passing
the river, joined the army preparing to
invest Washington on the North side
Then suppose Joe Johnston had adj
vanced from Dalton, and had screwed
sherman out of Chattanooga and put
him on his retreat through Tennessee.
Is it supposable-if this were the situa-
tion-that the conservative editors now
so extremely incredulous as to the de
feat Of Lee and the discontinue Of
Johnston, would have been slow to ac-
knowledge that we were in bad way?
Is it likely those who now contend that
Richmond is in no danger, would have
asserted perfect assurance that Wash /
ington was safe, or that those who as
sumo march by Sherman to Atlanta
or the Gulfan impossibility, would have
deemed it an absurd proposition that
Johnston would take Nashville, or adj
vance to the Ohio River.-Cfa CoaA

The overland route to the Pacific via

about to acquire fresh interest The
New York (French) Courier, announces
that among the first cares Of Macmillan,
after being established on his throne,
viii be some measure for securing an
easy transit across that Isthmus, by
railway from Minititlan to Ventosa.
The advantages offered by this route
are not unknown, as they have been
presented in various reports of explora-
tons and surveys made some ten or
dozen years ago. II is believed that the
opening Of such a road would enable
passengers from New York TO reach
San Francisco in a fortnight The fol
lowing is a comparative statement of

huantepec routes

The Courier says this route was first

Santa Anna permission to monopolize
the passenger traffic for fifty years, and
goods traffic for sixty The Garray COM
pany, after some vicissitudes, was re-
organized in 1850; sent out a competent
engineer, and made the necessary sur |
Yeys Of the Tehuantepec Railway, esti-
mating the expenses of building it on a
line passing, as above stated, from

fifteen millions Of francs The Mexi-
can Government, however, annulled

Gossip About Mrs. Lincoln.

Washington Correspondence Boston Journal
Mrs. Lincoln has some half sisters
who have never been particularly init
mate with that branch of the family to
which she belongs, and when the rebel
lion broke out they took sides with the
South. One Of them had sometimes
visited them at Springfield, and was
considered a pleasant and agreeable
girl Some little time since she appear
ed at the White House on q Saturday
afternoon, sentin her card, was received
and spent the Sunday As she was
leaving on Monday she remarked that
Martha was at Baltimore and desired
a pass to 90 South. How she got to
Baltimore the President could not inn
agine, but he said he would give her
precisely such a pass as he gave any
one About two weeks subsequently
this Martha appeared at the White
House and sent her card Mrs Lincoln
responded that they could not receive
her. She then sent in word that she
desired the promised pass.
The President wrote one in his usual
way-precisely such one as is given
to any lady, and sent it out 70 her, and
She drove away The next day she
again appeared, sent her card to
Mr.. Lincoln, who returned word
that she could not be- admit
ed. She then sent in note
that the pass she had received was not
such a one as she wanted-she wanted
to take some goods South Mr. Lin
coin turned over her note and wrote
upon the back that the pass was pre-
cisely such as he gave to others, and
she could have nothing different
The next day she appeared in his re-
ceptiOn room with others, waiting TO
see the President, but finding it out,
told his messenger not to admit her
The next day she appeared again; the
same directions were given, and she
did not get an audience The next
day she came with a Kentucky mem
Der of Congress, who told the Presi-
dent that she was in waiting thought
il hard that she could not see him, etc,
etc He minated to the member Of
Congress that If she did not avail her
self Of the pass without delay she would
find it revoked. The next day she
again appeared with another member
Of Congress, but the President still re-
fused to see her, and told the Con
gresham that he had heard Of her talk
where she was stopping, and ifshe con-
tinued il or staid around here, she
would find herself in the Old Capitol in
less than twenty-four hours. She de-
parted, and the President heard moth
ing more Of her until the newspaper
stories appeared
