The Army of the Potomac was on its march
northwafd to defeat Lees daring raid and
make a little Pennsylvania village forever
memorable. The heights above the town
were already darkehed by opposing troops !;
the quiet valley was already tumultuous with
the tramp of gathering thousands, and the
fruitful fields already reploughed for the aw-
full human harvest soon to be gathered in.
Every road swarncd with the blue coats ev-
cry hillside was camp, every grove was a
bivouac, every way-sde stream fountain of
of refreshment to hundreds of weary men,
spent with the privations and fatigues of those
forced marches through midsummer heats.
BY one of these little brooks regiment was
halted for brief repose. At the welcome ora
der, many of the exhausted men dropped
down where they stood to snatch an hours
sleep; some sought the grateful shade of an
orchard already robbed Of its early fruit, and
ate their scanty fare with cheerful content
that made it sweet others stretched them
selves along the tramplcd borders of the brook
bathing their swollen feet, or drinking long
draughts of the turbid water, VIII ch to their
parched lips was a better cordial than the
costliest wine. Apart front all these groups,
two comrades lay side by side in the shadow
of the orchard wall Both were young and
comely men, stalwart, kecn-eyed, and already
bronzed by Southern SUM- although this was
their first campaign. Both were silent: yet
neither slept, aud in their silence there was d
marked difference: one lay looking straight
up through the waving boughs at the clear
blue overhead, with an expression as serene ;
the other half leaned on his folded arm, mood
lily pIucking at the turf which was his pillow,
with now and then ali impatient sigh, rest
less gesture Ohe of these demonstrations of
discomfort presently reused his comrade from
a waking dream. He sat up. laid cool hand
on the Others hot forehead, and said, with
brotherly solicitude,--
"Not asleep yet, Rob3 Ihope you've no,
had IA sun-stroke. like poor Blake for if you
are left behind, we shall both lose our share
Of the fight"
"As well die that way as with rebel bull
let through your head though if had my
choice I'd try the last, as being the quickest"
replied the other, gloomily.
That dosnt sound like you, Rob; you'll
think better of it tomorrow, you've had a
nights sound sleep. This has been hard
march for young soldiers first
How much older are you than L. either
as man or soldier, Rick - asked Robert,

] the PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

- the PRnsIDEN1's MESSAGE.
II there have been any doubts in the minds
OF the loyal people of this country that the
President would deal firmly with the rebels,
now in arms against this Government, they
can exist no longer. The President employs
no mistakable language in dealing with the
leaders Of the rebellion.
He says that war can stop when the rebels
lay down their arms. He cannot compromise
with traitors. !" No attempt at negotiation rin
TIE iasvgsnt leader could result IN any good"
Davis wants to divide the Union. The Prosi-
dent interprets the recent declaration of the
loyal people at the ballot.box as declaring
: That b precisely Vhdt We WiH not and cannot
cigs," The Issue Is distinct, and, in the Lam
gusge of tho Message, "esn only oe tried BY oar
and decided BY Vietorp."
Buttbo President makes a generous dlstlnc-
ton between tho traltorous leaders Of the re-
bellion and the misguided people. He believes
thst they can reaecept the Union. Some Of
them already desire peace and reunion. The
President believes "the number Of such may
increase" He says "they can, at any moment,
have peace simply BY laying down their arms
and submitting to the national authority under
tho Consultation" This would put stop to
the war and restore permanent peace. If
questions should remain, an appeal to leglsla-
ton, the courts, and other lawful channels
would settle them.
The abuse Of the amnesty proclamation has
been such that In order to secure perfect safe.
", the President thinks the time may come
probably will comS-when public duty shall
demand that 1t be closed; and that, in lieu,
more rigorous measures than heretofore shall

On tho question Of slavery, the President is
as firm as rock. He serves notice upon
eopperheads and slave-drivers everywhere that
they must not expect To use him as their In.

FROM SHERIDAN'S ARMY.
Further Interesting Particulars
SheridaH's Great Victory.

Continuation of the World Account
New YORK, Oct. 21.-Successfully our en-
thusiastic and determined troops followed the
rebels, so closely that they were unable to
make a decisive stand at any point. On
through MiddletOwn and beyond the enemy
hurried, and the army of the Shenandoah pur-
sued. The roar of musketry now had glee-
tul dancing sound. The guns fired shotted sa-
lutes of victory.
Custer and Merritt charged in on the right
and left doubled up the TANKS of the foe, tax
ing prisoners and slashing, killing and driving
them as they went.
The march of the infantry was more males
tic and more terrible The line of the foe
swayed and broke before it everywhere beyond
Middletown on the battle-fie fought over in
the morning.
Their columns were completely overthrow
and discouraged and fled along the pike and
over the field like sheep. Custar took a gun
in one of his charges captured from US in the
morning, the first gun we had captured. Many
more guns were to be ours before night fell.
1t was dusk when the whole rebel army for
saking every inch of ground they had won.
went across Cedar River pell nell and went
flying on towards Strasburg.
Two brigades of cavalry, Wells and Lowell's,
pursued, charging at every chance and increas.
ing the rout before them. At nightfall our
cavalry entered Strasburg while the enemy
was still passing through the town, and from
that time until dark they confined themselves,
With division of infantry afterwards sent for
ward by Gen. Sheridan, to picking up prison
ers and gathering together and sending to the
rear the artillery, army wagons and ambu-
lances which had been left by the foe in their
headlong flight.
Forty-three gu-s, including nearly all of those
taken from u aaring the day, have already
been counte, and it was said the number
would reac!, fifty.

FROM SHERMAN'S ARMY.

NEw YORK, Oct 25.-The Heralds Chat,a-
nooga correspondent of the 18th says Sherman
Is not pursuing Hood but rather managing. if
possible. to coop him up in the valley and
starVe MIN to death. Hood has wOefully failed
IN inding or capturing supplies. He is trying
ms pest 10 avoid fight. He attempted to
break through Snake Creek Gap. but finding
that strongly blocked up he abandoned the at
tempt. This morning he is reported mile
and half below Fayette. Sherman is perhaps
six miles from him.
New YORK, Oct. 24.-The HeralTs Chat.
tanooga correspondent says the theatre of war
has been transferred TO Whitefield, Walker and
Dodge counties, over the northern border of
Georgia, in which large forces of rebel infantry
are operating, with Rome as base of supplies
which are brought thither on the Coosa river.
Rome was abandoned by our forces, and Re-
SAGA was held against attack. Tue road was
torn up again near Tilton. Dalton and Tilton
were captured. Ringgold, Tunnel Hill and
Cleveland were evacuated, and concentration
of Union forces made at Chattanooga. II
Hoods army was as strong as when he took it
in hand, he could take Chattanooga with the
rear-guard of his main army.
Our troops have got between him and his
detached forces. Hoods great aim was evil
IDENTIFY to get into Alabama, but he was shut
out by large range of mountains, his army
obliged to subsist on roasted corn.

FROM EUROPE,

New YORK, Oct. 25.-The London Times
has an editorial on the address with 800, 900
signatures recently sent to Gov. Seymour from
England. entreating the North to make peace
with the South, and says the address signed by
those 100000 gentlemen can effect just
nothing.
1t thinks the only possible solution of the
question is continued war. America has COM
menced the fiery ordeal which settled Europe
on its present basis, and terrible as is the pro-
cess, the Times cannot doubt america will be
the better for it In the end.
FRANCE.-The Fdtrte says Russia has given
in its adhesion to the French policy on the
Rome question.
La France says the instruction in Algeria is
spreading and the natives there appear to be
obeying summons to holy war.
At the Peace Conference a compromise is
said to have been effcted on the financial ques-
ton. Minor questions were also arranged and
there only remains now the drawing up of the
treaty of peace.

gian, from Liverpool 18th and Londonderry

The United States steamer Niagara arrived off
