Augur, and the admirable generalship of McCook, it would have been far worse. We wish the lesson of this brief episode had been as farm to the rebels as it is instructive to us. An insane chuckle has been going the rounds of the press that Washington is uncovered. --Scarcely has it been subdued by the appearance of the raider in front of Sigel before a State, needing more than all others our kindly protection, is plundered in every corner, our railroad communications to the capital cut, our President driven from his home, and a solid shot thrown into the streets of the capital city. The call for hundred days men has been feebly responded to. In the hour of our pressing need, when militia are scared enough to come, Gunpowder bridge is burned and they can't get here. Grant says if we can take care of the North he will attend t

Their artillery was proportionally in heavier force. None of the farmers, who have seen them, estimate their guns at less than forty of the heaviest field calibre.--Our cavalry fully agree in the estimate. The arming of all civilians attached to the Quartermaster's Department attest the belief of the military authorities here.

Averill reports that he encountered part of the Confederate forces under Early at Winchester, killing and wounding some four hundred of them, and captured four pieces of artillery and about two hundred prisoners. The Washington Star also states that a skirmish took place near Snicker's Gap., in which some eighty rebelst siege. He says: At the time of the appearance of the first Butternut at Rockville, Md, the capital city had not force enough to man four rifle-pits. It was uncertain at which point of the thirty odd miles the columns of Breckinridge and Early might be hurled.

Moss, Charles P. Johnson, and Dr. Hilgaertner, breathing defiance to Lincoln and uncompromising devotion to Fremont. A Hopeful Fourth of July Creation. The New York Times, of the 4th inst, got off the following on the "situation."

Our military operations are now reduced to a much simpler form, and a form much more likely to give us speedy and decisive results than ever before. We operate directly upon the two great armies in which is centred the power of the rebellion, and our operations against them for the last two months have certainly been productive of very great results. General Grant has not only driven Lee from the Rapidan to the Appomattox, and destroyed a third of the enemy's army, but he has gotten in the strategical rear of Richmond, from which he can operate against it with the greatest possible incivility. Already, by his great cavalry operations, he has nearly isolated Richmond from the rest of the rebel Confederacy, and every day of every week will see him vigorously pushing on this work, from which we anticipate the greatest results.

The aspect of affairs in Georgia is all that reasonable men could possibly hope for. Sherman, in his great advance, has met with no disaster, excepting the momentary repulse at Kenesaw Mountain last week, which has already been more than relieved by the capture of Marietta. --His army is intact, his lines of communication intact, he has forced the enemy from all their strong positions in the mountainous territory, and he has at last got them to a point to remain at which is destruction, to retreat from which is ruin.

His letter is dated at the "Clifton House," Canada. Greeley, understanding they were the bearers of propositions from Richmond looking to peace, tendered a safe conduct from the President. They replied that they were not accredited with such propositions, but in the confidy liberal terms on substantial and collateral points, and the bearer or bearers thereof shall have safe conduct both ways.

One pictured Mr. Lincoln as a political barber, holding a dog between his legs, shearing off his tail, inch by inch, with a pair of scissors. In another the President was represented as a camel kneeling before the French Emperor. Another represented Lincoln as a coachman driving the car of State, with Blair, Bates, Seward and the goddess of liberty as horses approaching a precipice; the people are holding the wheels having cut loose two of the horses; Fremont with an axe cuts the traces of a third; the goddess says: "John, you had better take charge of it."
