We are inclined to guess that Meade's re.
cent advance was intended mainly as a diver.
sion in favor OF Burnside, and by menacinp
Lee with serious attack, prevent him sendinS
any reinforcements to Longstreet.


Among the circumstances which sustain
this view. is the fact that Meade did not nush
decisively forward till the 26th. when the gov
ernment had already received news of Grants
success at Chattanooga, which placed Lone
street in imminent danger of capture if the
requisite dispositions were not promptly made
to favor his escape into Virginia, or to enable
him to maintain his ground in East Tennessee


That Lee, relying on Meade's inactivity
would have made some such dispositions to
extricate Longstreet, is probable, and in order
TO ensure the capture or crushing of the latter
it was necessary for Meade to menace him.
That any more serious campaign was intended
TO be made upon a ten days supply of rations
does not seem probable.


Now we take the liberty to guess that the
newspapers & both in their proonosti-
cations of what Meade was going to do. and in
their Interpretation of his not doing it. have
said, and are saying, precisely what the mill
tary authorities, Meade included, have wanted
them TO say.


The above, written fifteen hundred miles
from the scene Of operations, and based
upon nothing, may delude very few into
the belief that the late campaign was q
complete success; but to the intelligent
reader it is unmitigated nonsense

4 meeting of the State Board of Agri-
culture WAS held yesterday at the Capitol.
The only business transacted was the
reception of reports and settlement of
accounts connected with the Fair at Fort
Smelling. The whole amount of receipts
at the Fair was $1,064sO; amount paid
on expense account $796.2S, which is oply
about half the expense of the previous
Fair; amount paid On premium account
$3.50. All the premiums awarded have
been paid, excepting about $50, which will

We confess astonishment that Forts Warren
and Lafayette are not brought into exercise
as often, at least as the safety Of our Govern
ment demands Indeed, when We consider the
peril that surrounds the Nation, it is matter of
astonishment that the halter is not brought
into requisition while such rebels as VALLAN-
pIcHAN, and followers, exist in the North.
We feel grieved at the tendency Of things
not that we doubt the ultimate result-for we
have faith in our cause, however much the
weakness of man may impede-but that rebels
and rebel sympathizers are afforded the same
protection due loyal men, we consider but a
mockery Of that which we are fighting to sus-
tain. When men can get up in the halls of
Congress, and with perfect safety argue a
division of the loyal States, and re-organi-
ration, excluding New England, to crafty the
rebels-and denouncing those in charge Of the
Government as traitors-free speech becomes
q farce, and grounds given to believe that q
rebel is as good as a patriot. We desire that
distinction be made. Otherwise, there will
be no grounds for hope confidence will fade
away, and all will soon be lost


We say we are astonished that the Admin
istration should allow the Copperheads of the
North to 60 on undisturbed in their unholy
task Of arraying party against the Govern
ment-of disturbing that unity which is essen
tial to success. There can be no mistaking
their purposes. They are as foul and damna-
ble as the rebellion they seek to aid.


The part that our Representative CONWAY,
has taken in these efforts to obstruct the Gov
ernment, is humiliating to every citizen of the
State. Kansas, that entered the fight with
Freedom on her banners, and whose people
have exhibited unequalled devotion and forti.
tude is basely betrayed in that hour in which
her long-desired policy is being adopted as
that of the Nation. Mr. CONWAY has made q
speech in the House Of Representatives, which
will do more to encourage the rebels than any
thing else that has been said in Congress-
His speech was an effort to prove that +" subju-
CATION is impossible, compromise undeniable,
and separation inevitable" There might be
some extenuation for a slave-driver in giving
utterance to such language, but that it should
come from one whose radicalism was ahead of
all others, is strange. If not an enemy to the
Government he is certainly coward


The Legislature should denounce such action
on the part Of our Representative. Let MARTIN
F. CONWAY sink into oblivion with the seal of
condemnation on his brow.

ARE THE NEGRoEs CowARDs?


know it is said By many that negroes
are naturally towards, and will not fight
against white men in battle. Apart from
the refutation which the engagement Of
the 7th affords to this statement, there
was an instance worthy of special mem
ton. On the battlefield, yesterday morn
ing, there were found two dead men "
ing side By side One was Texan
rebel, the other an emancipated slave
belonging to the 9Th Louisiana Negro
Regiment They had bayoneted each
other. The negro's bayonet was actually
in the abdomen of the dead rebel, and
the Texan had killed the negro with his
bayonet Here is another instance:
During the Gght one of the negroes got
short of ammunition He had fred his
last cartridge, when n rebelattempted to
run him through with his bayonet The
negro deliberately seized the barrel of
his gun and cut the rebels head open
with the butt of it This scene was wit
messed by hundreds.


THE NEGRO HOSPITAL.


The wounded colored soldiers we're
yesterday put on board the steamboat
Pringle, and took occasion during the
day to visit the floating hospital. The
patience and endurance with which the
poor fellows bore the most terrible
wounds struck me as remarkable.
Among an equal number of white SOL
diers there would have been more groau-
ing and complaining But in very few
cases did the unfortunate blacks give
audible expression to the most intense
suffering. Amputations of legs and
arms were made in some instances with
out the use of chloroform. Those who
were but slightly hurt seemed to take
pleasure in ministering to the wants of
the more seriously injured, and from this
fact very few had to be detailed from the
ranks as nurses.


READY FOR ANOTHER Fight.


The negro command was in good con-
dition yesterday, and eager for another
fight. The dead were decently buried,
and the wounded all removed soon after
the termination of the engagement.
The battle of the 9TH afforded happy
solution to the vexed problem as to
whether slaves could be made to fight
against their masters and for their free
dom. All they want is good guns aud

a SINGULAR SPECTACLE IN BATTLE
At the battle of Stone River while the men
were lying behind crest waiting, brace of
frantic wild turkeys SO paralyzed with fright
that they were incapable of flying, ran be-
tween tho men. But the frenzy among the
turkeys was not so touching as the exquisite
fright of battle rushed through the cedar
thickcts, focks of little birds nuttered and
circled above the field in state Of utter be-
wildermen, and scores of rabbits fled for
protection to our men lying down in line on
the left nesting under their coats and creep
ing under their legs in a state OF utter dis
traction. They hoped over the field like
toads ard as perfectly tanned by fright as
household pets. Many officers witnessed it,
remarking it as one of the most curious spec
tacles ever seen upon battlefield
