WASHINGTON, August 22-11 P. NJ.
Major General Pope: I think the latter
of your two propositions the best. I also
think you had better STOP Heintzelman's

they arrive tomorrow at Warr+nton juno

pahannock. 1t was now the 24th and
! that promise remained unfulhIled. Rey-
nolds' division, scarcely large enough to
| repair Pope's losses, was the only re-en-
| forcement he had yet received. Never
| theless Pope still clung to the line of the
river and as yet had thwarted all at
tempts to pass it.
But during the 24th our Signal Corps,
from its stations on the high points
along the Rappahannock, observed a
mysterious departure from the head of
Lees column. A large detachment of
the enemy, comprising thirty-six regi-
ments of infantry with the usual proper
ton of artillery and cavalry, was seen
moving off to the northward, then in
clining to the east in the direction of
Salem. For hours the signals reported
the movements of this strange detach-
ment, until at length it disappeared be-
yond the farthest range of vision. What
did 1t mean
When General Pope, believing the
enemy to be turning MS right, suddenly
reversed his purpose and moved his en-
tire army toward that flank, he had evil
IDENTIFY expected to encounter serious re-
sistance. In this he was mainly disap-
pointed. The hostile force which had
passed the Rappahannock seemed
scarcely more than feint and was east
ly compelled to recross the river. And
now that the enemy's hanking move
ment if seriously intended had been
thwarted, what was the purpose Of this
new expedition?
General Banks, watching it through
the eyes of his signal officer, reported to
Pope as follows Aug. 25,-II:25 a. m.
1t seems apparent that the enemy is
the Shenandoah, ria. Front Royal, with de-
signs upon the POtOmac-possibly beyond.
And so Pope, at Warrenton Junction,
rather impatiently and curtly dispatched
to Sigel Aug. 24,-9:3o):
You will force the passage of the river at
Waterloo bridge Tomorrow morning at
daylight, and see what is in front of you. 7
do not belieUe there is any enemy IN force there
but do beLieUe that The 1UhoLe Of their army has
to the lOest and northwest. 1 am not
either with your reports or your
operations Of to-day, aud expect to hear to-
morrow early something more satisfactory
concerning the enemy.
At the same hour Pope dispatched to
Mcdowell
Z 6etieUe that the a0tOle force Of The enemy has
for the Shenandoah UCLEley, by tOdy Of
Ltrdf and Front Royal. The column which
has marched to-day towards GaineS' Or, sS-
EeOduS has turned 0oFIn, ana Wn6u last seen

enemy's main force still in front of !
Waterloo and Sulphur Springs, as Gen. /
5igel had truthfully reported. In his
belief that Lees zUk0Ze force had march
ed for the Shenandoah valley, General |,
Pope was therefore grossly mistaken

AWARE, OHIO, FRIDAY, APRIL %. 1870.

both night and day, together with all
sorts of exposure and privation, were put
to the severest test of their energy, en-
durance and fortitude. 1t was a com
plete realization of the old veteran s
declaration,
When you didn't fight you were put on
And When you came OF you went on picket,
To the fighting, picketing and guarding
must be added the daily and nightly
marching made necessary by the en-
emy's steady movement northward and
incessant changes of position Each
army endeavoring to feel the others
lines and detect its purpose, the skirlnish
firing scarcely knew any intermission
and the batteries on either side of the
Rappahannock were forever pounding
away at each other.
Throughout the zIst and z2d the en-
emy's forces kept on shifting toward the
right, his moving columns being fre-
quently in plain view on the hills skirt
ing the west bank of the river. At the
same time strong rebel force confront
ed Pope at RapPahannock Station, on
his extreme left, ready to follow up the
earliest abandonment of his position on
that flank. Evidently the situation was
becoming critical. On the evening of
the 22d (at 6:3o) General Pope telegraph
ed from RapPahannock Station to
Washington:
Major General HaIleck: Everything indi-
Gates cleaIly to me that the eneny's move
ment will be upon WarrentOn by way of
sulphur Springs. If L could know with
anyT hing like certainty by what time to ex-
Pect troops that are starting rom AIexan-
drta, could act more understandingly. I
have not heard of the arrival OF any OF the
forces from fredericksburg at the fords be-
low, though have Withdrawn nearly the
whole OF Renn's forces from Kelly s ford L
cannot move against Sulphur Springs Just
now without eX posing M rear to the heavy
force in front o. me, and having my COM
municatiOn with the forces comm up the
Rappahannock intercepted, and most like
ly the railroad destroyed. I think it alto
gether well to bring FrankIin's force to
Alexandria. Lee made his hsado uarters at
Culpepper last nighL. He has the. whole of
his army in front of me. Its numbers YOU
can estimate a well as myself. As soon as
bis plans are fully developed I shall be
ready to act. JOHN Pope,

ORIENTAL CUsToxEs.-There are many
traits of character and custom in which
the Arabs and Turks are our antipodes.
They shave the head but not the chin, and
we the reverse. With US the uncovering
of the head in the presence of another is
mark of respect; with them mark of
disrespect. When they go into place of
worship they keep on the hat and take of
the shoes and slippers; we do the oppo.
site. They mount on the right side of
horse and we on the left. They write
from right to left, and we from left to
right. We show our good breeding BY
taking the outside when we pass persons
in the street they by passing nearest the
wall. They do the honors Of the table by
serving themselves first we by serving
ourselves last. II u friend inquiries after
your wife, yoa regard it as compliment !;
to inquire after theirs is an insult. Their
mourning dress is white ours black.
They finish their wooden houses from the
top downward and we from the founda
ton up. The men wear frosks and the
women pantalo0ons. We wash the hands
by dipping them in water they by hav-
ing water poured upon them.-Bausman'

Freemosonry is brotherhood. The
order recognizes and maintains the sub
lime principle that as one God created US
all, we have common parentage; and as
God is the "father Of the spirits of all
fesh," those who were created in "His
own image" are brethren. The tenets of
freemasonry, in calculating and enforcing
these sentiments, establish principle
showing the brethren their duty nor are
promises of pecuniary advantage necessa-
ry to excite the selfish propensities of our
nature. The whole system Of freemason-
ry is designed to purity of heart to make
o man deserve the station Of that race
who were created but little lower than
the angels, and while the fraternal fire
warns his breast, and makes him feel that
a man is his brother, and no law, save
that Of love, is necessary to force him to
the path of duty. The one whe under
stands masonry as sublime moral science
will here perceive that the duties which
he is called upen to perform in the fulfil
mens Of his masonic obligations, rise from
a digniied sense of his relations with his
fellowmen. The suffering man is his
brother and he should assist him. 1t re-
quires no law Of lodge or council to
enforce the injunction. "If thy neighbor
hunger, give him meat; if he thirst, give
him drink: and if he lack raiment, clothe
him.
