AT 3 o'clock in the morning Craw

hundreds Of prisoners.

Of the attack on the works defending
Taylor Bridge over the North Anna riv.

out Of the question, Tor no troops could
live under the fire from the rebel batter

two columns, on each side of the inter-
val through which the rebel shot and
she'll plunged, tearing up the earth in a
fearful manner. When our troops got
within distance, they leaped like tigers
upon their prey, and with unloaded guns
brought the bayonet to bear upon the
enlrenched rebels, killing or capturing
all who did not escape.

The following article from the Topeka
(Kans&s) State Record IS so just and appro-
pirate, that We feel justified in reprodueiEg
and endorsing ii. While il is too early to
agitato the Presidential question, We are glad
to find tkaf pabIia sentiment, all over shs
land, is rapidly concentrating in the di1eetion
indicated by tAiE article from the Record
From the army. from Ihe New ERgIand
States. upoa the trains, wherever you will,
Fest or West AT the mention OF the name of
Abraham Liucsln, the people indicate that
they are for him. They feel that he is an
honest man, and a true patriot, and care not
TO try experiments By calling any new. un-
tried mGH into the Presidential chair The
people are content to let well enough alone,
aHd fSSl like taking no chances upon any
new man, al the present important Junction
in National affairs. The masses are for him
the soldiers are fer him everywhers-all
thinking nsn. az with one voice, say Mr. Lin
coin must close this war, and settle Ihs future
policy Of this sOantry. There is Justice ia all
this.
Mr.. Linsoln was elected sosstilutionalIy,
and, elected thus, has a right TO be President
Of the United States-all the States. He had
a right to expect a faithful observance of their
sacred obligations TO the General Govern
nsnt by all the SIates, but found instead
some setting ihO authority Of the Government
Mt defianos, all OF which he has endured with
patient faihfuluess aad honest patriotism -
He iG regarded AS patient, SREaciouG, wise,
and hUnAnO man-nsns more 50 among living
Americas statesmen. He is radical in all that
requires radical action. The class OF people
who are talking Of this man, or that man, aS
enbOdying 1he principles Of radical party,
better than Mr.. I.incolB, are mythical il ell
suoh remarks, Whea the climax Of all that WAS
held radical by the extreme wing OF the Re
publican party has bees carried out BY, Aad
made proninsnt measures by his Admins,rs-
tisn 90 that IhSrO iS nothing remaining, even
in theory. to be further prosecuted by a radi-
cal party.
To admit that Gen. Frsm0At or Gen. Han
ter saSh moved in radical war measures ahead
of President Lincoln, at this time has nothing
OF argument whatever, ~ the President has
fully kept pACe with public SpinioE upon these
measures.
The Proelanatioa Of Freedom was duly
made and adhered to. The policy Of muster
ing and arming nsErOss as soldiers is fully
maintained, and that, toe, with great success.
The soDnscatOn Of rebsl property is also be-
ing done, by the Federal courts, wherever such
property is found within their jurisdiction.
Mr. Lincoln iS careful in all thai he doea,
and rash in nothing.
For these reaaons we say that Kansas
should be bold and unanimous in her support
of the President, and we have no doubt she is
and viii be. The history Of Mr.. Lincoln's
administration will be a bright and shining
light ia the history Of our country. He
will be hailed a. the libsrator Sfths bondsmSn
and the restorsr of the Great American Union
We stand by Abraham Lincoln.
