THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
Itemlt of the Iteeeot Reconnoissance.
WHEN IT MAY BE EXPECTED TO ADVANCE.
The Force and Position of the Rebels.
LEE EXPECTED TO MAKE A STAND AT WINCHESTER
Firanr, October 19, 1862.
TIIE 44E - 9 GMT& .0E THE R ECONNOISSANCES.
It is well kni:wu among military men that before a
great general advances, be frilly prepares his army for
say and every emergency. He looks first to the disci
aline and provieion of his men; then by reviews and ad
dresses be raises In them an enthusiasm which, although
ten porary In its own character, always ripsns into canff•
orrice. ~He then prepares his paths by making reoor•
noiseaucee into the enemy's apparent lines and assuring
himself of his exact position and strength.
Such was the intention of Lee when he sent Stuart into
Penney Ivan% ; but the latter tried to ,any off too much
pitleder, and no doubt failed in a great measure in par
ormlng the work laid out for him. However this may,
be. Geri. blcOlellan has frustrated all the enemy's plane
of advancing, by hie recent reconnoissauces toward Win
chester. for he has not only entirely thrown the enemy off
. ,
his gutted - a . s to his original plan, but he has gained infer
.
matron which puts that obtained by Stuart In the s"pade
entirely, and has gained such a strategical advantsgo
that It is generally believed bore among military men
that she gamy of Us: Potomac has the power to act of
fensively ogainst the rebel's once More, and the latter
have little elee.stut retreat cr destruction left them.
•
It is understood that tdoUlellari's Reserve Army is to
winter about Harper's Ferry, Martinsburg, and iVio•
cheerer; nr,irest the rebdo ire driven back to Richer sad.
This, however, will not render it necessary for onr army
to 3tmais idle. A winter campaign is expected, arid will
be "demanded by the AmeriCan people, and already I see
indica lone here that tell IttOClellan is preparing for motive
ripe; kit
'the rccent successful recOnnoissancss, made by Gene
rale Banconk, Caldwell, and Humphreys, have abun
dantly. proved bow n nob the rebels enirAr.d from their
r 'oestrous discomfiture in Maryland There has grown
up. in the rebel army, a feeling, silently but surely en
ciittragt d by the military 'side's, assiost the Admicistra
lion of Jr flerson Davie his the ultra and peace Partied of
the South combined, entitle muoh stronger than that ex
hibited by the Breckinridgers in . the North against the
Federal Administration.
The rebel army in Northern Virginia, which now
even not number over 60,000 men fit for dutyln the field,
is outi.ring terribly for food and clothing, and as soon as
"Jai k Frost" looks envy and black, Leo will have to
move Southward or lose the bulk of hie army by sick
ness. •
We may imagine the 'effect of this better when we see
the Army of the Potomac advance, before long, in front,
opening up our great Western line of railroad communi
cation throush WI stern Virginia, occupying Winntlester,
litraeburg, and Front Royal, and threatening Charlottes
ville and Staunton, with 9lgel guarding the rebel routs
to IN sabiigton and the Federal road for Richmond.
We, of the North, hardy, well-fed, well-clothed, ant
crmfortably cared for in every way, can winter in the
Shenandoah Valley, without fear of sickness to any great
extent.
Letters at d documents, obtained at Charlestown, and
now in the possesaton of Geo. Eilailatlan, show ttoit
people fn many portions of the South are actually suffer-
Ms. and some starving for the want of the common ne
cessaries of life.
• These letters contain detioriptions of the starving con.
dition of Pontbern women and children, and the terrible
Wrote of the conscription law. Squads of men, almost
naked, are driven et the point of the bayonet Into the
army, watering the very ground they traverse with their
own hitter tears.
In view of this state of affairs, can you wonder why
aeroral AleOlellan has listened to, and is about to obey,
the Btirciroons of the American people, through their
honored "'resilient, - Abraham Lincoln, to ge move on'!"
The war becomes ene of mercy. In slaying the wicked
leadera„ we eave the good men, women, and children
from the terrible fate that acetate them daring the comiug
winter.
litepecielly do tho letters, and other information re
ceived in the advance to Oharitetown, show how baneful
to our cause hie been tbe leniency of our Government
in previons months; and if General McClellan could Dub
bah what ho knows, that man would be a traitor that did
not advocate the*mediate advance of all of our armies.

The main body of the rebel army is at Strasburg.
fleavy reserves are spoken of at Gordonsville, Ober

LETTER FROM WASHINGTO N.
(correspondence of Ths Press.]
•. lireamzurox, October 18,1882.
Washington was formerly a great Cosmopolitan whirl
pool only , during the magma of Congrese. The war has
made it such all the year round. The hotels are thronged
and the city is alive with etratigere. Among the notables
here I have met Senators Hale, of New Hampshire;
Harris, of New York; and Hon. William D Ktiley, of
your city. The Judge's re.eleotion, by the way, in
spite of the bitter fight made against him by the enemy,
ie hailed bore as a splendid Administration triumph.
Few men have ever returned to Congress to receive
such hearty end general congratulations as have been
extendedro Judge Kelley , daring his present vielt to the
National capital.'
I came here yreterday, atter an interval of more than
eleven years, my last visit to Washington havini been
made on the Fourth of Ails, 1851, to witness the laying
of the Corner•stone of the new Capitol, which was to me
Sts . Interesting. and imposing occasion. As I stood this
Inerning upon the very spot from which I then heard
Webster pronounce his great oration, many of the points
made by the orator recurred to my mind, and none
more vividly than his prophetic allusion to the prodi
gal eon of the old - Thirteen, whose contemplated seces
sion from the parental roof would be inevitably followed
by starvation, nakedness, and, finally, a penitential re
turn." And who can doubt that if Webster were Wive
to. Gap his god-like powers would &I be thrown on the
side of the Union, and the Administration to whose
hands an overruling Providence has entrusted its re
storation? 'This Interval of eleven years has been
Pregnant with ivente—events whlch had their germ in
Calhoon's Mcipient treason thirty years ago, and that
,lave been developing in embryo ever since, until, in the
(ulnas 'of time, they were brought forth in the twin
form of Secession and Civil War.
The Capitol (Its extensions, more properly), then 'for
mally entered upon, has since grown Into such an edifice
as the world beside has never entailed. Indeed, in p w
ing through Its various apartmente, and under Its mighty
although yet unfinished dome. I wee overwhelmed with
lie grandeur and impoeing immensity. The work of com
pleting it Is going steadily forward_ as also the magnifi•
cent extensions to the building occupied by the Treasury
Department. Some criticise this continued expenditure,
now that our resources aro being so heavily taxed by the
war. 'lbe imrreesion made upon my mind by this spec
tacle of governmental energy
.and vigor was exactly the
opposite, as it shows that Uncle Sam (or Uncle abraham,
either), although now somewhat crippled In hits SJuthern
foot, is unite able to put down the greatest rebellion that
history records, and carry on his regular basiness bo•
sides.
lily interviews with the President and several members
of his Cabinet, kindly accorded to me through the coar
tray of friends, have confirmed my faith in the coherent
Power and purpose of the Administration to maintain
the right in thii contest—a contest, whatever may have
been its compiexion at the beginning, is now empha.

might have ctittrd undioturbed, and even protected, for
years, had not the devil boon permitted by a higher
Power to plunge the South into rebellion. As it is,
slavery and freedom have been precipitated into a life
and•death struggle, end may God eavo the right. -
Although the mess of the army ha• moved away from
Washington, the latter is still a grand military station.
,Thensands of troops are almost hourly pasting through
the etreets, or waiting in the outskirts for transportation
to other points. Hundreds of officers may be seen gal
:loping along the avenues with no other percepple,object
than to be seen, and scores of them are promenading the
halls of our hotels, whose proper place should be in the
field.
We are literally envlroned with hospitals. 4. cir

LETTER FROM JACKSON, TENN.
(Correspondence of The Pram]
There is no news from below of immediate importance.
It to said that Joe Johnfon le at some point on the r la
ved, south from Grand- Junction. It is even said that
he bail 40 000 men already, though this is unquestionably a
gross exaggeration. If Bragg gets away from Buell, al
be probably will, there is some reason to fear that ho will
bring his whole force around into 51bisissIppl, and attack
na at Bolivar. In that case we should he obliged to have
reinforcements before we oeuld do anything with him.
I learned yesterday, from a citizen of Boliver, in whose
judgment I have every confidence, se well as in his
sources of information, that Price had at least 20,000
men opposEd to Ord and Buribnt in the fight of the
Batchie. Onr force was but 5 300 at the outside,
no allowance for stragglers, baggage guards', and detains
for iarions kinds of service. The morning reports of
the two brigades, which went into action, foot up 6,300.
It le certainly the most brilliant victory on record in
this war.
The fortifications at Memphis are completed, and that
city may now be considered impregnable. No ordinary
force could touch it, and no very large force could be
gathered to the neighborhood without our knowing it in
time to collect reinforcements. It is not at ail likely that
Idemphie will ever be attacked. Its possession would be
of no value to the rebels. If they should take it. they
would get no Mores of any _importance. They could
never bold it, because the fortifications would be of no
use to them, being all on the immediate bank of the river.
and easily Owned by our gunboats, which would also pro
tect our Government stores. Bat Memphis will be of great
value to us as a base of operations. It is as near the
Southern Confederacy as Corinth is, and the enormous
expense end danger attending the running of this line of
railroad, amounting in all to 14fo railed, would be avotaed .
Let this country take care of itself If the people have
a mird to out each other up, let them go it. We can
never occupy the whole St uthern territory with troops
we must boat their armies where they aro concentrated
starve them by a rigorous blockade; occupy important
bases of operation!, and then let them come to term', as
they =questionab l y will. This road, from Columatte to
Corinth, has served its purpose. The cotter* is nearly
Out of the country. Three important battles have
been fought, in which the enemy has been de
cidedly beaten, and his army dispersed and driven
south of cur lines . away down into Dixie. We
must pow reinforce and pursue him, find him, beat
him again, and so on until he hag been driven into the
Gulf of Mexico. 11, for this purpose, aey point or any
line of railroad la important tons, we must bold it, other
wig° abandon it. It is hardly advisable that, for the
protection of the very few loyal people we find here, a
large army should be scattered over one hundred and
forty. five miles of railroad subject to constant surprise,
attack, and defeat. Suppoee, for instance, tae ileac:don
"Mont of the territory should result in the persecation and
robbery of five hundred Union men, it would colt five
hundred Union eoldiere to keep the territory, Whose lives
might jug as well be expended in omeeteeriug open rebels
as i n protecting doubtful loyalists. The sooner we get
this war on to a military heels the better we shell be
sttiefied when the system comes to be tried and compared
with the socicepolitico-military theory on which our af
falls have been conducted during the last year and a
half.
'The flying brigade, under General DlcPbereoa, which
puriticd Van Vorn's army frofn Corinth, has suet re
turned. It wilt be remembered that the final repulse of
(Le rebeie from Corinth was made at noon. hfoPtier
sou's brigade arri red at night, and WAS sedt on the nest
morning. Vhy Boeecrana did not push eight on that
afternoon I cannot conceive, Zt is certain that he had
the inestpositive orders to do so. Had be obeyed them,.
Death the whole rebel army would have been caught
'between his army and that of Ord and Hurlbut advan
cing obliquely on their flunk. The result would have
been the utter annihilation of the rebe army. As far,
however, as we are able to judge, that desirable cbject.
bus been pretty fully attained now. I have mast had an
inter view with General tdoPttereon, who conducted the
advance guard of the 'pursuit, and from him I learn the
fe flow ing facts concerning the march and the return.:
. He left Corinth at daylight, Sunday morning, With a
force of about 2,800 men, including threttegirtierife of in
fantry, a squadron of cavalry, and a battery, and came
np with the enemy just beiyoul Chuvala. From there,
for five miles, he pushed them rapidly, skirmishing all
the way until they reached a high ridge called Big Hill,
where they mado,eulto a stand, theinfantry on both eldest
firing volleys. Onr men had thrown away their knap
sacks and blankets, and stripped for the fight, expecting
to have a good brash, and were oaser to meet the enen.y
and clean him out before the balance of the force, who
were three hours behind, could come rip. So they
charged op the hill In the most gallant style, but when
they reached tho top the rebels skedaddled in moat in
glorious style. By this time night closed in, and the
men slept on their arms. General McPherson declares
that if he had had a little more daylliht, he coedit have
forced them into a battle and cleaned them out." In
'this fight we lost eight men. They started again Mon
day morning at daylight, and came to the Tuscumbia
creek where the bridge had boon destroyed. The bridge
was rebuilt In fifteen minutes. The stringers were lying
in the water burning, and a regiment were ordered to
ttack arms and go back a *quarter of a mile and bring
up, each man, a rail from a fence. These made a yen ,
good roadway for the artillery, and the pursuit con
tinued. Between this feud the Hatchie wore evidences
of a complete rout. Wagons, teat, baggage, knapsacks,
gnu, six caissons and a battery wagon, three boxes of
new Enfield rillee, and a considerable quantity of ammo=
Litton, were found strewn along thZi road. No cannon
were found. On they went, twelve miles, to Crumb's
DWI, where they found the mill enveloped in flames, and
the fire had to be extinguished before the bridge could
be rebuilt. This canoed a delay of about four hours, and
*the column reached Jonesboro' at eleven o'clock at
night.
Bivouac during the night, and up again at daylight in
the morning. They overtook the enemy'two miles north
of Backersville, which is forty-one miles from Corinth.
Here we formed in lino of battle, and brought up the
artillery, but no fighting took place, beyond a few shells
from our guns, the first of which burst in the
tuie et of their cavalry, killed two men, end set the whole
brood Dying. The men bad now been marching two
days and a half without much to eat, and a halt was
made at Ruckersvllle ; about twenty beef cattle driven
in, and the men had a good, substantial meal. At half
past three the column again started, and, at about two
miles from Ripley, again came upon the rear guard of
the enemy, and from there into the town, which the ca.
veiny Entered at twelve o'clock at night. There was
ehirmishing all the time. The next morning the cavalry
were sent seventeen mitel beyond Ripley, and the infan
try five, to a broken bridge, but no enemy was in sight.
In the meantime the remainder of Rosscrans' army had
come up, and MoPhersorthi brigade came back, staid at
Ripley three days, and marched quietly back to Corinth,
without seeing an armed rebel.
There is no question that this defeat is OLIO of the clean
est things of the war. McPherson took about 300 prison
ere, all of whom were glad to be taken, being heartily
tired of the war. By the way, several hundred paroled
prisoners were sent South from Bolivar yesterday, and a
great many of them were very reluctant to go. The in
dications are Various and unmistakable that the rebels
of this 'part of the country are ready for peace on any
terms, only let it come soon. I have collected a good deal
of information on this point, and shall soon write you the
eubetancls of it.
Ger eral McPherson, who Is now major , general, takes
Hurlbut's old division at Bolivar, and Hurlbut takes
command of this eel> department. McPherson is ono
of the best officers in the army. Ile hest been doing the
chief part of the engineer duty under Grant and riellock

for his tact andaerldnity. Now that ho has commend of

THE SCARE IN PENNSYLVANIA.
The fright canoed by Smart's cavalry raid in Perim 1.
vania is one of the comic featured of the war. The ex
pectation 1.1 preteed by a Philadelphia paper, that he
would establish a proVitional government at Harrisburg,
unL es the entire militia of the state sucmded in making
pildenera hie handful of bor,ethen, was extremely rich.
The Philadelphia pretts has probably recovered its equ ii
ninilty by Has time, and discovered that the only thing
4 provisional' , which Stuart desired of them was con
fined to forage and supplies. We can see by the alarm in
Pennsylvania at a single cavalry raid, what would be the
sensation if the Southern Confederacy should really in
vade them in good earnest. Perhaps at no distant day
the South may return some of the ootirtegiee of this kind
which it has received at their hands At all events, let
no tope that [lto cavalry will be often over the border,
and secure some of their fat cattle and solid citizens, as
hostages for their treatment of political prisoners now in
their hand&
CONDITION OF OUR ARMY.
An observant and intelligent informant, who comes di
rect from our army, says that it is now. without a doubt,
in a better condition, as far as comfort is concerned,
than it has been for a year. The men are generally com
fortably clothed, and receive for rationlibacon beef. and
flour—the last named article being purchase d at 88 per
barrel. They are sadly in want of blankets, however,
and suffer a great deal from the cold nights'.
The BUBO gentleman says that the sick end wormded
corning down on the Central road are much neglected,
no water being given the unfortunate men who are
crowded into the cars. On Wednesday a number of ne
gro( e were put on the train at Charlottesville, already
crowded with invaide, and the narrow nawagea between
the esate were filled with them. This state of affairs
should receive same attention.
TUE REPULSE AT CORINTH—INCOMPETENCE OP
TIIE COMMANDERS.
The Mobile Advertiser of the I.oth has obtained an
account of the repulse at Corinth from a colonel who was
wounded in the engagement. Our forces numbered about
20.000 fighting men. The Advertiser says:
It now appear,' that our generale, or at least the gene
rale in command, were terribly deceived, having bean
lured by. the enemy into a trap carefully prepared for
them, and made to fight against heavy odds, without the
hope of any substantial advantage for this waste of blood
and life. The movement on Corinth was made front the
weld, the enemy withdrawing his pickets at our ap•
preach, destroying camps, strewing the way with hasp.
sacks, gone, clothing, &0., until be reached his first line
of entrenchments, where he made a resolute stand Our
men rapidly punned what they supposed a flying enemy,
counting on a bloodless victory, some of the generals
even expecting to obtain possession of the town without
firing a gun. Their eyes wore opened when they saw the
serried tanks of the enemy prepared to receive them,•
and then they knew that a bard and bleody fight was at
hand. Moore's brigade, of fluency's division, led the ad
vance, and the battle soon raged hot and furiously. The
enemy fought well—better, it is said, than ever before in
the Weet4-but they could not withstand the futons
charges of our gallant men, who steadily gained upon
them, driving them from entrenchment to entrenchment,
until night clotted upon the 'scene.
The next day the fight wee resumed, the enemy mean
time baying been heavily reinforced, but our troops
stain pressed forward, gaining the town of Corinth, and
the galhnt 42d Alabama planting its colors within a

very that the struggle was too unequal to be oontintion
to any advantage by our forces, whose ranks were be
cemdng fearfully thinned and worn down by fatigue and
burger, while the enemy 'were being continually rein.
forced. The order was then given to fall back, and our
• troops withdrew from the field, leaving many of oar dead
and some of our wounded in the possession of thee , emy.
Meanwhile the Federate had thrown a heavy force (M)i
mated at 20,000 men) from Bolivar to tbo south of Co
rinth, with the design to cut off our retreat and bag our
whole army. These fresh troops were mot with unex
ampled bravery and vigor by our Jaded men in the san
guirary engagement of Sunday at Pocahontas, which re
sulted in the discomfiture of the foe, and• thenks to the
genius and experience of Gen. Price, in the escape of our
at my by an improvised road to a point west of Ripley,
where they made a stand.
The battle on Friday is said to have been the hottest
and most desperate of all. Soldiers who were in the battle
f Shiloh say it was more tot tibia than that memorable
conflict. The enemy appear to have been thoroughly
posted with regard to all our movements. They knew
when a given divielon poised a given point, what wee Its
streegth, the direction of its march, how, when, and
where the attack was to be made; In short, everything
they wished to know, and of course wield msko all the
preparations they desired to meet us.

and to see de illustrated end mg.:nine teamed Captain
Williams, on the leviathan bunt in the South Seas.
An eloquent writer has said: " Efo was a bold man
who first went down to the sea in ships, but he wad
a bolder who first battled for human rights.” If we
add whale catching to the going down to the sea,
we thick the svflcost dream of arch courage will not
evoke any thing more romantically, Inspiringly, superbly
bold, than to advance in the tiny boat with the slender
lance upon themonster of monsters, to strike, to kill, to
capture tt, and to render its remains subservient to the
grandest purpOses of civilization—in defying the black
Welt and shedding the lustre of day over tho still, small
he urs.
The American Eagle would shriek more melodiously If
his song were set oftener to the sy ren note of etatietros.
What can compete with his ewoop in the South Seasp
when flamboyant tact bears him along? finch fact arch
ed over those great waters while yet the swamies of
whales invited the heart and armor New 'England heroes
to the trenthant task. For, when the united pride and
strength of Great Britain and France only afforded some
fourteen whale ships all told, the United Elates, which
means very nearly Now England in this sense, displayed
six hundred.
ig Into the jaws of death,
Into the mouth of hell,
Rode the elx hundred."
If you doubt the ultra peril of whaling, go hear and
see the teams of Captain Williams, In the basement of
Hope Chapel. now consecrated to the world and the flesh
—the devil being left out, for the meant , . at least.
The motto of Captain Williams is quorum pars, in de
tailing the marvels and dangers of the far.off waters.
ti be gallant Captain is the concentrated essence of the
best specimen of the Jack-Tar. Except for a limited pe
riod rent-toed foible birth, fret dentition, and the acqql
eitlon of Neweogliah, the Captain had spent his life on the
far waters, harpooning their oleagin-ns tribes. He looks,
speaks, and walks the sea. He is the salt of the earth_
If the Captain bad not been of Nantucket, where the
whales are preferred to the regular drama, he would
probably have been stage•strnck instead of whale. struck,
for he has qualifies for an actor. Not all the hardening
of rough winds aid expornres has stricken from hie epl
detmis the mobility due the expression of the histrionic
man. He acts out 'he whaler. He has the machirterx,
lees the whale and lees the water, to do so.
. . . .
On the stage there is a whale boat, provided with har
poons. ropes. oars and sailors. The whole tragedy and
comedy of whale catching. not marred br blood or coarse
ness, are represented by the Captain and his crawl they
row; they throw out the line; they strain at the oars;
the ccmlc Donor lad falls overboard; they harpoon one
watery brute, and Into another ; they fall asleep with.
overexertion; the Captain precedes and p3slcadea this
practical display of the art by reciting dramatically,
technical and romantic matter connected with it; end st.
Berke of well-executed, illuminated panoramas of the
magnificent work of the whaler and the magnificent pro
tortions of the whales pass before the spectator ; while
unseen musicians discourse sweet and applicable ITIMIIe
and verve; and, as the moving picture comes to the
Island of Queen Pomara, and the American fleet looms
on the scene, the inevitable flag is let fall before the au
dience, and the Inevitable tt Star Spangled Benner" stir
the nerves of the audience. The transparencies in ewe-
Von give clear views of the subject; the whale spouting
blood as though a ship were on fire, and casting its flame
into the heavens; or crunclibur up a boat and boat-load
of heroes; or describing hts vast arc of agony before he
eleepr oa the bosom of his mother water.
When the Spermaceti Captain recites in his peroration

How to Avoid the Draft.
To the Editor of The Press:
Piit: If Philadelphia will take the same course which
has been acted upon in Boston we mity avoid the draft
altogether. We hems orb 3,559 men to raise ; %ad a
bounty of $2OO for each man will amount to but $700,-
000. Cannons shonld,"st once, apprnprlato that amount,
and thus place our city in the noble position of filling up,
voluntarily, her whole quota. Let four regiments of nine
teenths men be immediately orgarized, and a bounty of
$260 be offered to each man, the 28th will then find the
%thole number made up.
I am, yours very truly, A.
