That the country is in the at- ; Af\terriblu war. hrnught op by a stupendous and diabolieol rebellion, is a tru»h loo often r» prated, and loo well proven by facts, to | neeii any rcilemtion. The cons ranging „f s.-x or eight hundred ihonssnd inrti .it ,-jf j ferenl points, clad a la mil it aire, displaying | hf filing bayonets and wide-mrutbed can a pnn it proof, sufficient ol tin*. What .I* Mho cause of "dl tt|is? is a qumtioD ten ! thnesand times reiterated and as often an- ! swered ; In doing which, much brriqli has been spent and volumes written. Iflil . if j appears to us that the whole mailer amy t b« summed up in few words, by simply iw»> question* and answers : 1st.— Against whom aro the rebels contending ? Answer: Against the Federal Govern-' ment. . It is nut against any individual-, ' community. soeiety or combination of men. ! or again t individual .Hates ; lmt against 1 f the patent government. 2d — What has vhat parent government! done to the Booth, to merit such treat'- i uimVT Answer: I tJms treated Uw Bonth like pat babies: It baa always given them the ' largest slice of every public loaf and narw-d and nurtured them like nn over-indulge nt mother ; slid now, b*cau*h she has seen (it - try her band at weaning the- - spoiled ^Jyid.-* that child has drawt the swurd 8,. - -r,..;— .

tbru-t it into the hrnrt of thai', -anie iiulul- • | gent mother. No other cause can be ns- . j signed in truth. ,Tb prove this, f» ir ed j, I only refer to the t'l'iled '{States statute J i book*, where no n.i'ran be foood in any 1 ' . wajr uncous'itnticiwal t.r lafiiriogtaff nn the j i institution* of tli^tphel BttateK except it j - ! be, u* slate*! in t Baciiaituti'* last ; j anno^ message, the Missouri Compromise j , oct, ttWich was passed ut their own SOgge*- I tiotf. aml'for their own eeprris! tieoclit, and !

Nut wishing to be disappoin- 1 red in what I so anxiously looked. for. and j which wa* tho main Object of my trip, ' ' I tried other means.

I vi«i 1 ted Georgeiown an J-Tonal lytown heights ; I he view from tioth places is tie'autiful in 1 tho eafrinie. There. are the white tents of j ' soldiers, from every loyal .State in the Uu- • ' ion, to be seen Tor mile* uu hill tops and in : j valleys, on both side* of the Potomac.—- j F ruin the dome of the Capitol, Mnbsna's [ ' Ilill. Muscn'* Hill, an.) several other places-, ' ; of interest can bo seen. Your readers 1 - i doubtless know the position of the rebels | t on I lie Putoinac. It will bo seen, by refer••ore to War Maps, that Munson's and Ma- ; j sun's Hill* are prominent forts of liio reb- i ■ els. commanding a view of Washington — j ■ Kroni Georgetown Heights yoii can tee the j | movements of the rebels, and apparently' i look down upon the city, which lays two !

The morning following, I visited Bailey's i Cross Road*, in enmpnn . witu a Brigade , officer. We, however, got a little too for ) out. and while being expostfilaled with'by of tbe Union pickets, a rebel ball pass- , ed between us. This made us thir.k of the 1 picket's aijvice. and we quickly tprned ami look shelter in the woods.
