take hasty glance nj the y. \. Her

1t is very respondent AZ the late ret
rorade movement Of Gen. Meade, and
states that such a step on tn" part OF
that officer at this particular time VIII
prove more disastrous 20 the Union
cause than did the severe reverse sus-
tanned in the battle of Bull Run. As
one of the results gold immediately
rose in New York to 1881, at which
figure unusually 'ag" transactions
took place.
The Heraid represents that Gen.
| LonsStrect had made ~. assault upon
Burnsid.'s works around Knoxville,
but was bloodlly r"puls.d. leaving
| 700 men in killed, wounded and pris-
oners, on the field. Among the
killed, til. name of Col. Mclver alone
was rccollected by our informant.
Gen Longstreet is said 70 have re-
treated after this failure, and at last

Tie specuIating Generals are rivals to

casionally dragged to light.
But after ali, tits net so strange that the
Administration and the enemy should play
into each Others hands. The Abolitionists
and Secessionists did so before the war. 10

treachery, and the tyranny of these two

A Military Necessity..A Happy
ENEFs YsIllnStratiOn.

When peace, with all Its real ana suO
stautial benefits, smiles beneicenflyi upon
the people, then nothing is heard Of thai
plea of all tyrants since the world began
1military. necessity But if designed and
ambitious men, influenced perhaps by for
eign jealousy and innate ambition, after an
effort OF years, succeeded finally in dlstur~
bing the peaceful relation of their country,
ana bring trouble and distress. upon the
people, then be on your guard against their
insidious wiles. They will tell of your willy
foe of his courage. his strength his NUN
bers. They will plot for your armies to be
defeated; and your treasure wasted, you'
young men to be destroyed, and the whole
people to be dissatisfied with their dreadful
situation and gloomy prospects, and then
they will tell you that military necessity
dictates the surrender Of the right OF self,
government in order to defeat the Toe. The
old fable of the horse is quite dpropos as an
| illustration
|, Esop tells US that the horse, finding the
other beasts Of the field unwiliing 10 &C
knowledge him as their sovereign, applied
to man for assistance in subduing his foes
Man Immediately consented, and proceeded
10 put the saddle upon bis back
"HaIlow?", cried the horse, what IS this
forY: SEa s82 FEs*t 'fa<
sOh, it will be necessary for me IL get on
your back, and have the full control OF you
for time, if | am to assist you, answered
the man.
The next step was to put the bit into the
horses mouth, to guide him right. Man
took whip 10 his hand, fastened q pair OF
sharp spurs on his heels, and mounted. The
horse did not like the spurs, and objected,
but was told that it was all for his own good,
and they would be used simply when he did
not pursue his enemy fast enough. When
man was mounted, and the horse about to
start On his career Of conquest, wise ser
pent addressed him IS follows:
"You fool! why have you given up your
liberty thus2 You we're free, and now you
have placed master upon your back, aud
be can make you do whatever be pleases
Why submit to such despotism?"
"Oh, you do not understand" replied the
horse; II placed this power in his hands
only for time, that may conquer my
enemies; when thatis done can just throw
him off" .t.
The serpent replied: "Never! you have
surrendered your liberty; man has obtained
a seat upon your back, you have submitted
to be saddIed, bitted and bridled, and SO you
will continue forever hereafter.
The horse laughed, and the man cied out
and plunged his spurs into the sides OF the
horse
"Don't listen to him, he's only Copper
bead -..,,..
Z Just so it is now with the Abolition Ad
ministration. The saddle, the briddle, the
whip, the spurs, are all ready. The people,
apparently, stand quiet aud ready to be
