heads of Jeff. Davis and his Cabinet to Lincoln in a basket as the head of John the Baptist was presented of old to a tyrant not much more cruel, and far more respectable from his abilities, the rejoicing could hardly have been greater. Like the Chinese, to whom they have been more than once compared, the Yankees are but little more than full grown children in every thing but avarice and ferocity. We are confident that more extravagant demonstrations were made on the late occasion of Gen. Lee's retreat, in the smallest town in Pennsylvania or New York, than have been made throughout the Southern Confederacy in honor of all the victories we have ever gained. And yet no nation, of which there is any account in history, ever ran such a career of glory, all the difficulties under which it has been run being taken into consideration. The cause of the difference is obvious. Success to the Yankees is a thing so unusual that they hail it as they hail the arrival of a Prince or a Japa

From Gen. Lee's army. We have nothing later that we regard as entirely reliable from the other side of the Potomac. The passengers by the Central train yesterday evening brought a rumor, which was circulating in Staunton yesterday morning, to the effect that our army had driven back the enemy and occupied Frederick city, Maryland. As to the time when this occurred, there seems to be no knowledge. Our conclusion is that there is no foundation for the report. The last accounts we had from the two armies represented Gen.

e gold watches, and perhaps as many silver ones. They even robbed an old negro man of Mr. F. Hardesty of an old silver watch. They visited the residence of Mrs. Lee, and, presenting a pistol to her head, demanded all the money in the house. They cursed and abused her very much, and greatly terrified her and her daughter, Mrposed to public condemnation. No doubt if the enlightened British public could see this last Fredericksburg business in its true light, they would insist on Gen. Lee apologizing to Hooker forthwith, as it was all wrong for him "to pitch in" before Hooker got ready. Lee ought to have known that a great army like that could noLee ought to have known that a great army like that could not move over five or six miles a day. We never can crush out this rebellion so long as our opponents are tolerated in taking such unfair advantage of us. Sambo is soon to be employed on our side. I see that Gen Thomas has been organizing him into fighting material on the Mississippi river; and we white folks can "rest on our o
