wrecked material Of the struggle; and that
was virtually all that Lee left, as his army
moved away on return to the Southern
States still maintaining its spirit of re-
sistance and holding to its determination to
follow and uphold the flag of the Confeder-
acy; but its resources were shown to be
badly crippled, and as an invading army
it had lost its terrors and henceforth it had
to take up the struggle for existence, acting
only upon the defensive.
Early on the morning of the 4th Of July,
the firing on the right of the Union line
having ceased, some of our soldiers ad-
vanced over the ground lately occupied by
the enemy, and found that their forces had
been entirely withdrawn under cover OF the
night, but that they were being concen-
trated upon Seminary Ridge. The de-
parture of the enemy had been in such
haste as to leave their dead and many OF
their wounded to our care.
Probably no battlefield ever presented
more evidences of a severer struggle than
did that part between our fieldworks and
Rock Creek. The face of the space that
the enemy had advanced over was very
rough, covered with rocks, logs and forest
trees; these had afforded shelter to the
enemy; and were thereby made objects of
our wrath, and upon which we vented our
vengeance in hopes of striking the men
behind them, and for two days and nights

Russia's Position.
New York Ercning Post.

Russia's policy in the far East is mat
ter of race inheritance and tradition, Of
generation after generation pushing on to
the goal, without haste and without rest !;
and US one statesman goes, another comes
to, carry on the same work. Russia Is, in
fact. the one great power now iii the
world which can play the inperiaiistic
role with proper grace. Even Japan has
Il Parliament and political parties, to vote
money aud to question the Government.
Russia wears no such fettefs. She in
terprets imperialism as absolutism, as it
must be to be truly successful, and her
rulers brook no criticism. The Russian
press is rnuZzled. 1t was not even al
lowed TO publish the recent news about
the triumph Of Russian diplomacy in
Korea. Such things become known to
the public in St Petersburg only by acci-
dent or by information leaking from for
eign sources The diplomats of Russia in
the Orient may thus be assured that their
footsteps will not be dogged. and their
purposes thwarted by publicity.
Nor is there in Russia the fiekieness of
popular opinion bred by tickle press.
Her age-long and unwearied purposes she
holds to without changeableness; and, as
we say if her Imperialism could only be
sure that its silence and secrecy did not
mean enfeeblement by corruption, it would
be the most triumphant thing of the kind
in rhp world
