M JMM# 4 mnocn EDEN, SO. CA., FRID, A Doleful Picture. Tho Now York Times of Saturday last contains by way of leader, tbe following editorial joromiadc: The summer campaign which was to have given us the rebel capital, has come to a dis. asterous -end. Richmond * is relieved, and Washington is besieged. That magnificent army, organized and drilled with so much care by McClellan a year ago, repulsed first on the Peninsula, has been again repulsed in its advance upon Richmond from the North, and now seeks safety for itself behind the forts which line the Potomac. Disguiso it as we may, the Union arms have been repeatedly* disgracefully auu decisively beaten. The whole campaign against Richmond has proved a failure. The rebels have resumed the offensive, and liavo driven our troops Uack to the precise position they held after the battle of Bull Rum more than one year ago. Our Generals do not seem to bo aware whethes they intend \o attack us there, or push forward on some other line of operations. One thing may bb deemed certain?thay will not sit down in front oi Washington and attempt to reduce it by siege. Tbey will cither attempt a flank movement upon it, or what seems to us more likely, they will push a powerful column directly into Pcnsvlvania and strike a blow at the Union ccusc on loyal soil. There is a class of public men who think it highly unwise to admit that wc have suffered any serious reverses. They have copious explanations of the apparent checks our forces have sustained, and abundant assurances that they are all to be redeemed in tho immediate future. We regret that we cannot share their credulous confidence. All their explanations cannot chance this fact, that wherever we have met the robels?whether behind an earthwork, as in front of Richmond, or in the open field as in front of Washington?they have beaten us. Sometimes they h&Ve outflanked us; sometimes they have got completely in the rear of our forces; sometimes they have thrown their whole force upon a single weak point of our line and so overborne us by numbers; sometimes they have drawn us into an ambuscade; but it matters not how, the fact remains that thoy have beaten us. Aud all that these various explanations amount to is that their Generals are more skilful and bolder, and their armies more effective than ours. This is all that anybody can ask in war. And it is worse than idle?it is childish and idiotic to shut our eyes to the glaring and repulsive fact that thus far in the war the rebels have the best of the fighting. The sooner we realize our actual condition, the sooner we shall find a remedy for it. What is the cause of these awful disasters ? Not in any lack of men, of munitions, of sup plies?of all the means and appliances of successful war?for no army on the face of the1 earth has been so lavishly supplied with all these as ours. Not in tho goodness of the cause?nor in the spirit of the people?nor in the valor and patience of our soldiers, for tin all these respects we may challenge the world to surpass us. We are driven to the conclusion that the rebel Generals have been superior to ours; that tho rebel Government has been better able to wield skilfully and successfully the weapons placed in its hands. Result* afford tho only test of military capacity. Tho army that conquers is always the best. Largo or small, raggod or well-clad, hungry or full, armed or unarmed, the army that drives its enemy off the field is always the better of the two. Oar forces have been splendidly drilled, admirably clothed and armed, and always supplied with abundant food; but they have been defeated, and that fact overrides all the others, and brands them as inferior. We all hope that all this is to be changed; but so we have been hoping for the whole year past. The very next step was always to turn he tide. We were to have ** no more Boll Run's" when McClcllan took command. The ? * u j fMBBBHoPff ' ' <! I.I J" ' Coroc AY, SEPTEMBER 19, 18 enemy was to be "driven to the wall" after be had evacnated Yorktown. The army of the Putomac it was declared, shall enter Richmond, after it had suffered defeat behind its own fortifications. And there were to be no more retreats on our side, after Pope took the lead towards tho rebel capital. Yet, in spite of all the assurances, made with confidence, aud eagerly welcomed by the credulous country, our armies are besieged; but all "safe." in the Po tomac forts. Who can say that the tide of disaster has yet been stayed? What is there to turn it? We have fresh men in the field; but so we had before. Possibly the enemy cannot take the forts; aud possibly,, knowing the fact, thcv will not try. But, if we can judge the future from the past, they will be veiy likely to attempt something which they can accomplish, and the first we shall know of it shall be, that it has been done. We see no ground for predicting better results so long as we employ the same means.? Wo need the strongest government tho country has ever seen. And it needs no prophet to predict that, without more strength, more vigorous power, a larger grasp and more energetic mastery of the resources which the country is putting into the hands of the administration, than wo have had hitherto, the Union cause is doomed to a speedy and disastrous overthrow. The Rebel Advance Against Cincinnati and Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Inquirer, of September 4? thus comments upon the exciting news from the Ohio River: T. I 1 1 ! * * * lb mis oceu jush man six wccks since the voice of Gen. Lew. Wallace was beard at tlic great war meeting in Cincinnati, warning tlio citizens of their danger, and beseeching them to avert it in time. To-day he is ih command among them as military ruler, martial law has superceded the municipal authority, places of business are closed, and anxious citizens arc harrying to and fro, consulting together how they may best save tho beautiful Queen City from bombardment or conflagration. General Wallace has had personal experience of the fierce determination with which the rebels are waging this war in tho West. When the meeting mentioned above was held he urged the people, in tones of solemn and pathetic fervor, to anticipate events and prepare for the coming crisis. Too many, unfortunately, were indisposed to bestir themselves from their fatal lethagry. The result will now be seen in hurried, extemporaneous, perhaps unavailing efforts ct self protection. They vainly imagined, like numbers among ourselves, that war could never approach their doors, and that Cincicnati could be saved by successful skirmishing along the river sides and amid the mountain passes of Kentucky. Let the people of Philadelphia take heed, and be wise in time. Let them not imagine that the battle for their per. sonal safety is to be fought only at a distance, on the banks of the upper or lower Potomac. It may happen* in the changefalness of this strife, that we may be compelled to wage it on these very fields that lie around us, now clothed with verdure or waving with harvests, but soon? it may be, to be drenched with blood. We have ao fear that our fellow- countrymen of Cincinnati will be found unequal to the emergency. Hamilton county, in which the city is situated, it said by its inhabitants to contain a population about equal in number to the entire white population of the State of South Carolina. It is quite impossible that a people with such vast resources at control should be unable to hurl back the assault which now threatens them, even if their fears should not be exaggerated, which is doubtless, to some extent* is the case. Covington and Newport, on tne opposite sides of die mouth of the Licking river, and both opposite to Cincinnati, contain a popular tion.of over 20,000, and although largely made up of pfeople whtf do business in Cincinnati, yet there is much reason to suppose that the native Kentucky element is latently infected with secession, I * < - " *'* 'in , m i" 1 j uUm uMi ii m 11.. iJ ~X1-V? r' t.

Tho following tumors and speculations are taken froth the Richmond Examiner of Wednesday: It was reported in the city yesterdhy that from Fredericktown, Maryland, a column was advancing on Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,1 While the main body had already reached the Relay House, nine miles from Baltimore.' Bat' late last nigbt no official information confirmatory of this ruiuor had been received here.' Gentlemen who left Leosburg last Sunday, and reached this city yesterday eveniog*' add nothing to the stock of our infoitaation. At the time of their departure, it vraa rumored at Leesburg that oar army had marched th4 day before from Fredericktown towards the Kelay House. There were also rumors of a desperate riot in Baltimore cu Saturday, in which- the Provost Marshall and several other Yankee officials had been killed by the citizens. The occasion of the riot was said to havo been the U.. il. - D-J 1- --*.1 li.m.ij/ivu icuivvm uv bllU i'CUUrMlH UI IU6 gOVernment stores from the city to preVent their falling into the hands of our advancing army* Since the above was written, We have bad an interview with a gentleman who left Baltimore on Friday night last. At the time of his departure great excitement existed in consequence ot the rumored design of the Government to remove its stores to Philadelphia. This was construed by the Baltimoreans as a preperation to shell the city from Fort McHenry, in case it should be entered by the Southern array, and hence the excitemen.t It was believed that Confederate cavalry scouts had been, on Friday, seen at the Relay House, and that to impede the Confederate advance, the viaduct over the Patapsco at that point had been blown up. It was also reported that Stuart's cavalry had passed to the east of Baltimore and burnt the bridge ovef Back River, thus cutting off railroad communication UMt-li PKilorlolnKin A ffn* ftivM x iiiauuvi^/uim Aii^t ion * tug uaibiuivn?! onr informant heard of the rnmored riot, mentioned above, with the additional report that Provost Marshal Van Noatrand and his assistant, McPhall, had been hung by the populace. Montgomoiy county, which our forces entored on crossing the Potomac, is said to have given Stuart 150 recruits, who furnished their own horses and equipments. The excitement throughout Maryland is intense in consequence of the Lincoln draft and the passage of the Pox i ii._ r* J i. ^ loiuac uy me V/omeueraie armies.
