FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1862;
THE Witit
If our despatches from Gen. McClellan's head
quarters convey an seourate idea of the situation
on the Potomac), there would seem to be nothing
in thi , attitude of either army indicative of an im
mediate forward movement, although both are, no
doubt, eager for a battle. It seems very evi
-dent that the enemy have no notion of aban
'donirg their position at Winchester, as long
as the Shenandoah valley is worth strug
gling for, and their supplies can roach them undis
turbed by any raids on the part of our cavalry.
On the contrary, they are gathert .g all their avail
able forces to resist General MoClellan's ad
vance. Their line of defence now stretches
at 1011.6 t twelve wiles. Our lines may be more
extended, and, indeed, must be so. Although
invading an enemy's territory, wo are like
wise forced, by the lessons of the pa3t, to
see that he does not turn the tables upon us a
second time by way of Hancock, or at some other
ford on the Upper Potomac. The rebels have as
'advantageous a petition now, .ither for attack or
'Oefertee, as they have had at any 'time during the
War. Their left wing is but , little more than
twenty mil s from our southern border; and
if successful in battle, or successful, in
turning our loft flank without a battle, an easy
day's march would bring them once more to the
Cumberland Valley, and, perhaps, to , our very
doors. This danger is not so imaginary that it
may not be realized, for of the enemy's strength we
know but little, save that it has been, dmhtless,
heavily increased since the hatie of Antietam.
Let those who are disposed to express dissatisfac
tion at the seeming inactivity of our army con
sider these facts, and admit that they have been
unnamable.

SostE of the newspapers taken from the Emily

the blockade into Mobile, and on hearing it read

290 'is likewise scouring the seas somewhere, and
that she is not the, Alabama's alms.
Seeietary Stanton and the Army of the
Potomac,
The New, York Herald and the New York
World simultaneously declare that General
MCCLELLAN iS SONIC/US to move, and that noth.
'Mg but the ink ffieiency or criminality of the
Secretary of War, prevents him from crossing
the Potomac and pursuing General LEE.
cc We are assured," says the Herald, g( that
General. Itlcannnart is anxious to advance.
We know that . his army is, and we have no
doubt of its success if it should advance to
day, and'compel the enemy to fight or retreat.
The delay, we are told on every hand, is oa
account of the slowness or bad management
of the Quartermaster's and Commissary De
partments at. Washington. .But this will never
do. Air.' Secretary STANTON should under.
stand that his responsibilities in fliis business
involve the life or cleat.' of the nation, and we
admonish him of the wrath of an offended
people in the event of his failure at this im
portant crisis, to meet their just expecta
tions." This is a terrible charge one
of the most fearful that can be made
against a public man. In reply to it, we
feel authorized in saying that all the power of
the Government, all the resources of the people,
every facility of transportation or manufacture
that can be procured, are di voted fo the
sale - purpose of supplying the army of Gene
ral Iticatnnste, and accomplishing a great
victory. We tee evidstices of it every.
where—in the stupendous operations of the
quartermasttr's departments in New York,
Philadelphia, and Washington—in the virtual
monopoly of the railroads leading to and from
the Capital—in the constant anxiety displayed
on the part of Government agents in Eur Ope
and America to procure aMmunition, blankets,
shoes, and clothing. No one at all familiar
with what the Government is doing will fail
to rejf et with scorn a suspicion like that of
the Herald and World.
There can be no motive for any such con
duct 'on the part of the Secretary s of War. The
country contains no more ardent patriot—no
one who desires more sincerely the triumph of
this cause—no one who is more ambitious of
aiding the success of General IifoCnELLAN,
and the annihilation of the rebel armies. He
has been the true friend of General MCCLEL
LAN, and has placed all the resources of
our country at that young commander's feet
that he may accomptsh victory. There is
no better evidence of the efficient action of
the Secretary than the present condition of
the Army of the Potomac. Taking all things
into consideration, there is no army in the
world in active service that has ever been so
well supplied with everything necessary to effi
cient warfare and the' comfort of the soldier.
General llioastnan has made no complaint of
the slowness or incompetency of the Secretaxy
of War or of any of the bureaus of his de.
partment. General HALLEOK has exhibited
the same energy as the Secretary of War,
and is satisfied with the efforts that have been
made to strengthen and improve MCCLEL.
LAB'S army. The President is anxious to
see a movement in the Army of the Po
tomac. The Secretary of War, General
MALLECK, every officer of the Adminis
tration, and we need not, say the whole
' country, are anxious to see Moamar; and
his army move,to victory. if he lacks in any
thing—in ordnance, food, clothing, or trans
portation—he has but to make that want known,
and if the country can supply it, it will be
supplied.
'The movement of the Army of the Potomac
is purely a military question. Gen. IfeCnntnaN
is master of his situation. If that army moves,
to him the honor must belong. If that army
,ishould fail to move, and permit itself to be
frozen info 'winter quarters, the act would be
; ..Gen. MoCnittna4's, and, of course, he could
answer any criticism it might occasion. It is
despicable and malicious to anticipate criti
cism, by eharging upon the Secretary of Wax,
and, of course upon Mr. LINCOLN, conduct
that can never be palliated, andwhich is worse
than treason. Gen. Moamar; takes part in
no such attacks as these in the New York
journals, and he will be grieved to see that
IhOSO who claim to be his friends should allow
themselves to print calumnies which can have
no other effect than to demoralize the peopie,
and injure the cause he is so gallantly fighting
to sustain.
- The Agricultural Resources of the State.
That the increase of our State in agricultural
wealth has not been retarded by the war is a
fact—we m'ght almost say an imperative ne
4essity—which will suggest itself to any
linking Mind, upan a moment's reflection.
The census statistics pave shown that the pro
duction of wheat in rennsylvanis , exceeds that
of all the States north and east of us, includ
ing New York, New Jersey, and New Eng
land ; and good old common sense (still bet
ter testimony than censtis reports) is sufficient
to show, that in war time, above all: other
times; the 'agricultural resources of a State;
which are the basis of its wealth, must be de
veloped to the full extent. Wheat, and corn,
and potatoes, are the sinews of our war. Varese
are the staples that feed and clothe our armies;
and if the Union is ever restored to its former
greatness and integrity, it will not be by Wanes
of paper money, but by the irresistible forae
of patriotism conjoined with—wheat. }lore
then, perhaps, we have the reason for delay
ing the draft in most of the States until after
the harvesting season. The delay bas been a
vexatious one, doubtless, to many of the mum
ardent class of the community, who only
wailed an unquestionable summons to the
field ; butit has been wise and protitanle, not
withstanding. The nine-ramths men wilt be
away just long enough to be indurated into
endurance of Virginia camp life, and back
again just in time to join in the froiics of next
year's barvest-home. the policy of the Go
vernment, in this respect at least, is plain,
and, we think, unobjectionable.
Let us see what the census shows on the
subject of our, agricultural progress, as com
pared with that of other States: In the year
1860 we raised 13,045,200 bushels of wheat,
while the eight Stites to the east of us raised .
but an aggregate of 11,521,500. The only
State making any approach to us at alt was
New York, which is credited with 8,681,100
bushels. It can be seen from this that Penn
s3lvania, conscious or her cereal supre.eacy,
can afford to hold her head far above her sta
ters. It it was to our present purpose to delve
into the census reports of a generation ptst,
we might, indeed, arrive at the unpleasant
deduction that the absolute yield of wheat in
the nine States already men toned (Pennsyl
vania sharing the fate of the, others) . had ac
tually diminished since 1840. We ii ar
rive in our investigations at such .11;- . Sharp
sticking-point as this : that twenty years since,
Pennsylvania raised precisely one hundred
and sixty• eight thousand bushels more than
in 1860. But it is needless to yield ourselves
up to blank despair on that account. There
cannot be an error in Nature's balance-sheet,
and the account is stillin our favor. True, our
wh \ at crop has fallen off, but not so much as
that of .New York, which, shows a decreass of
some`three million six hundred thousand bush
els. This-may - seem like a selfish, uncharita
ble scut of eonsolation, but it is very natural,
nevertheless; Ind then, we find a still stronger
setimive for our excitement in the subsequelat
statistics, which prove that all the cereals,
except wheat, have very materially: increased
ill the last decade. The rye crop, for in
stance, has gained 669,632 bushels, Indian
tern 6 861,607 bushels, oa a 5,848,993 bash
els, barley 365,122 bushels, and buckwheat
3,378 384. The latter - two have, therefore,
mere than doubled themselves.
Cons( quently, with the exception of the
&felt in our wheat crop, for which a numher
of scientific reasons are gen-rously offered,
it seems that we are steadily becoming a great
agricultural people, let wars devastate, and
STUART'S cavalry make forays as thby may.
We found this truth forcibly impressed upon
our mind anew by the Agricultural Exhi
bition which yesterday closed at Nor
ristown. We found thousands of ladies
and gentlemen from all sections of-East
Penmylvania assembled there, to do ho
mage by their presence, and by the decided
interest which they manifested in the display,
to man's earliest, noblest, and'happiest avoca
tion. We found them not unmindful, even in
the greatest interest of the scene, of the crisis
that has lowered as a pall upon the nation.
The trophies of war and the implements of
tillage alike were to be seen, and as both had
come from fields of equal honor, so both were
gazed upon with interest and admiration by
the thousands of visitors. It was a rare sight,
and, we thought, one of much signifi
cance. It was an evidence of our vast
resources—a guarantee of what we shall
rise to be when the war is ended—and
an indication that even now .the work of con
quering a peace bas not an exclusive mono
poly of our thoughts and energies- We are
a people of every nationality, and with cosmo
politan tastes, and it will he some time before
our common peril can teach us the necessity
of casting aside all minor considerations and
concentrating our whole powers upon the good
work to be done. Let that auspicious day
come when it will, our agriculture cannot
suffer; and while this true basis of our na
tional prosperity
_remains unimpaired, the
hopes of a restored Union cannot perish.
What is Thought of the. Election.
-That the result of the recent elections in
our Blau is well understood in other States
as implying an untaltering adherence to the"
Administration and all its measures adopted,
and wisely adapted, for the recovery of our
national integrity, is evident from the fact
that frequent appeals are now being made to
the Pennsylvania returns--sometimes to show
that the tide of popular will is still strongly
setting forward toward the preservation of the
Union, and sometimes to exhort those whose
suffrages are not yet cast to model their de
&IOU upon ours. The uselessness and the
falsity, as well as the impudence, of the De
pocratic vaunting do not deceive eyes that
are far enough from the scene of the contest
fairly to judge its ground, its conducting, and
its issues. They see, as we can now see, that
so many unusual concomitants were mixed
up with this election as to invalidate conclu
sions drawn from it as from an ordinary vote.
They know v Jts we now know, that the sub
traction of a disproportionately large share of
Union voters by their enrollment in the Union
ranks, very seriously diminished the count on
that , she. They see in our State a strong
party bigotry, an unusual susceptibility to par
tisan appeals that enlist material interests in
their support, and making these allowances,
the result of our elections seems to them to
weigh heavily on
- the Union side.
The Opera
GOTTSCHALK'S concert, on Monday evening,
will be bailed with pleasure as the opening
of the opgratic season ; for "a brief season of
opera is really to be vouchsafed us, and such
famed and gifted artistes as Miss CAR
LOTTI PATTI, Miss KELLOGG, SUSINT,
BRIGNOLI, and Algoma, are promiied
lus, as well as the new prima donne
Miss CORDIER and Mad. GAKRABELLA, who
are negotiating to appear in a another of
operas, among which is announced Pardon, de
Floirmel—a production new to Philadelphia
audience& As to.the length of the contem
plated season we are not informed ; but, to
secure the management against a loss, which
may ruin opera, as it has been rained hereto
fore, we would repeat die suggestion of a
cotemporary, that the patrons of the Academy
subscribe a sum sufficient to insure the=
people a series of at least ten performances,
The opera is not an expensive luxury which
can be dispensed with, as many suppose. As an
agency of refinement, alone, it would merit our
encouragement. But when we reflect that this
species of entertainment attracts vast numbers
of strangers to our city, gives an impetus to our
business, sustains abroad our reputation for
liberality, and develoPs a most exquisite art
we have many additional reasons why the Ita

LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL."
WASHINGTON, October 23, 1862.
The reappearance of. Prince John Van
Buren upon the political stage, as a champion
of the theories which, if triumphant, are to
end in the separation of this Union, was de
cide,dly dramatic. After a long retirement
from public life, he sought to give eclat to the
comedy in which he is now enacting a principal
part, by disclosing a letter of General Win
field Scott, in which the glorious old chieftain
is used to assist the unarmed enemies of the
Republic. This letter was received with rap
ture when read, and give great encourage
ment to the Breckinridgers here and else
where, but the country ought to be thankful
to Kr. Van Buren for spreading it before the
people. Gen. Scott, whether indignant at
this unauthorized publicityof private opinions,
or whether anxious to give a new proof of his
patriotic , devotion to his country, has an
swered the Prince in a paper which is,
equally a vindication• of himself' and a ter
rible rebuke of the late President. We
can best appreciate the gravity of the crime
of James Puchanan prior to the development
of the plans of the Southern conspirators,
when we reflect upon the results that have
followed secession. The testimony ot Gen.
Scott must convince all sensible men that the
treason which ended in this great harvest of
bloody war was deliberately plotted by the
Southern slaveholders, and was understood
and known by James Buchanan. His friends
have frequently contended tbat be did not
really believe in the objects of the conspira
tors, but Gen. Scott proves that he did and.
that he disregarded rep-aced admonitions as to
their purposes. There has been and still is a
continued dispute in certain circle(' as to the
cause of the rebellion. Some palmate!' assert
that it was provoked by the Abolitionists, and
others again, that if the Republicans hid
agreed to the Crittenden resolutions it might
have been avoided. The latter is the point upon
winch' ex-Senator Bigler, of Pendsylvania,
is illuminating" the country, in his late
letter, prior to the election in Pennsylvania,
now b , lug republished in all the sympathetic
Breckieridge journals. The testimony of
General Scutt fixes upon the slaveholders who
controlled the last Administration, and not
upon the opposition, the whole bloody respon
sibility oi this civil war. They had not only
determined to make war against the ceputt•
lie, but, as this testimony proves, they re
solved to take advantage of
, their relteions to
James Buchanan to use him to fortify therm in
thin desperate dUsign. Had ten thousand
Crittenden Compromise resolutions been
peseta, this would not:have stayed their hands,
because they had previously, with the conni
vance, or consent, or in consequence of the
indifference, of the then President of the Uni
ted States, taken care that their scheme might
succeed.
Hence it is that-they insulted and goaded
the Republicans, in ail the stages of the de
bates after the election of,sir. uncoil], during
the short session of the Congress of 1860—'61.
Hence when they saw that if Davis and his
friends would remain in their seats in the
enate, the Crittenden resolutions would piss,
they retired, in order to aliow those resolu
tions to be defeated. The gallant Androw
Johnson gave overwhelming evidence on this
point in his last great speech in the Senate.
-This last page, added to the history of the
war, entitles Mr. John Van Buren to popu
lar applause; because it disposes of one of
the most Injurious charges against the friends
of the Union. Inasmuch as the es-Presideat
is about to appear an elaborate vindication
of his Administration, I do not doubt he will
be al-le to clear up this formal and solemn
accusation against himself and his confede
, .
rates, thus presented by the Lieutenant Gene.
ral of the Army of the United States.

The composition of General Geary's division is now as
follows: First Brigade, commanded by Major 0 Et,
Crane, of 7th Ohio, coreprehende the 28th Pennsylvania,
Major Raphael commanding ; 6th Ohio, Major Collins ;
7th Ohio, Captain beymonr ; 29th Ohio, flo',onel L P'
Buckley ; 66th Ohio, Lieut. Yeazel. Second 'Brigade,
commanded by Lieut. Colonel J. 0. Lane, of 1022 New

Walker; 3d Maryland, Lieut. Col. Lndeberg; 109th Penn
sylvania, Capt. eley monr; 102 d New York, Capt. Elmore.
Thud Brigade, Brig General Geo. S. Greene, includes
60th !New York, Lient Colonel Brundage ; 78th New
York, Capt. Stagg ; 3d Delaware, Colonel W. 0; Redden;
Purnell Legion of Maryland, Lieut . :* Colonel Simpson,
and the let District or Columbia, which, practically, no
longer exists, as - all the ereoma are , atek or_ahio.4aa.d .
all the men are invalids, or have deserted. Bat two of
these fourteen regimeate are commanded by full colonels,
which illustrates well the decimation caused by battle
and 'sickness among officers as among privates.
• An interesting feature of the army, to visitors, is the
Signal Corps, whose flags, with a white or black ground,
and red centre, are •observed on many prominent go
sitions, among which may be numbered the highest
points of the Maryland Heights, where a magnificent
view of the surrounding country is obtainable. The en
tire superintendence of the Signal Corps of the Uoion
armies is held by Major Myers, of the Regular army,
residing in Washington, but that of the Army of the
Potomac is in charge of Captain B. F. Fisher of Doyles
town, Pa , who has under hie control forty officers and a
proportionate number of privates. Captain Fisher was
formerly of the 3d Pennsylvania Reserves, and was de.
tailed to his present duty during August of last year.
Among other efileiencies of his department may be in
cluded a new telegraph apparatus, invented by ifr.
Beardedee, of New York city, which is worked without
the aid of the usual materials essential to an electric'
battery, and is a great simplification of the general mode
Di telegraphing.
During the winter season the duties of signal officers
are anything but agreeable. Their positions are invari
ably upon high ground, and they arc much exposed to
cold winds. Od visiting the signal station on Maryland
Heights yesterday, I found the wind of a most discom
posing 'severity, and to-day it is doubtless fir more vio
lently experienced. I found near the station the graves
of more than thirty South Carolina soldiers, who were.
killed at the late attack upon Harper's Ferry by Jaok
ion. Not fix beyond were the charred bones of half a
dozen Union soldiers, who had lain neglected in the
woods, and wirmse bodies, when discovered, were burned,
being altogether too decomposed for removal. The poor
fellows bad boon wounded, and were left by their OOM
iplanienr, alone among the clouds. N. ,

[From the tiehmond Examiner,,Oct. 201 • I
We have- some interesting Coconut* of affairs in
Southwestern Virginia, through an officer attached to
GenerslFloyera command,' who hal been engaged in re.
bruiting for the biota organization, and, in this pursuit,
Penetrated almost to the banks of the 01310. •

and murder corporate& by, the Yankees, "Union men,"
and to our shame It is recorded, by our own Otaifederate
par been rengere, the veresnoelees old men, women,
MO children, as well, as On those who were capsons`of
bearing arms.
nforomately, the inhabitants of Southwestern Vir

emery of civil war, where in *libel. is arrayed against
neighbor, aid often brother agate et brother, and lamer
against sob. We are assured that no one, who has net
travelled through that sectien, has the mightect Wee. of
the horrors through which its people have- passed in
the last year. Men mould have to leave their houses
at 0 slimy out in the nisountania at toga ; no one esni d
travel five rui es without running the danger of
being busbwnecked Much of this state of things
Is due to the mispolicy of the lovernment. Seeab le then, who understood the character of th e people end
would have commaddeo their respect, cnufedeuce, and
love, were not eentintu this portion of Virginia at the
con tnetconent of the war. There were husd, vie of ease
who yowl for the btate to remain in the Union, because
they had no opportunities of learning the merits at the I
dieeuie between the North and Sento, and who,by
pro' or management and instruction, would have ided
with the donthern States and fought for our
liberties with their— whole heart and sea eat,
havmg exercised their elective franchise, they were
unwisely denounced as traitor's: and, more un
wisely still, ruffians, in the shape of partisan rasgers,
- were let loose upon the country. Many of these bends
were not at ail particular as to who voted for Secession
or abe for Union, Dna committed' brutal murders, stole
bi nee and pluecered ail they could my their hands on,
even taking beociethee and uneergartnents of the wives
etc children of men weo were at the very time io the
Corifenet ate army. The result was that"many fled their
path at first, and after a while took- up Blltta Sg2llllOT this
troop of robbers and murderers, to detend their property,
their is-rallies and themselves; they were forced to orga
nize ie aminaGnerds," and et length, taking vengeance
on their oppressors on some el their marauding expedi

It was in this wey that a reign of terror commenced

based upon excellent authority, was extensively circa.
toted in our. city last night that Governor Oman had
ordered troops to Harrisburg for immediate end import
ant' service within the State limits, and, although rn.
more of new rebel raids upon eur border were rite, they
were generally discredited by persons acquainted with
the millitary dispositions made recently for repelling
any advance of the rebels upon free soil again. It
Is well known, however, that the rebels have re
otntly taken and held some advanced and thrZ
ening positions, and nervous people became very
much alarmed. Our reporters, ever on the alert for a
Stirring item of war news, could gain nothing, except
that Captain D. Spencer Miller's fine battery of light
artillery of Philadelphia; had been ordered to report at
Harrisburg immediately, by Governor (Junin, fatly pre
pared for active service within the State, supported by
a sufficient body of infantry and cavalry from Cana
Curtin. Captair Miller's battery left promptly accord
ing to orders, about ten o'clock last night, for the State
capital, taking the cars at West Philadelphia.
The cause of this apparently mysterious movement is
Simply this, we think : Theta have been attempts and
tbreata made to resist the draft in several counties of our
State, and in view of an outbreak in some tof them, Go
vernor eurtin, determined that there should be_no very
Sumgait' interference with the execution of the s law of
drafting, and of its practical application, has thought
proper to call to his assistance a sufficient military force
to'suppress any unlawful disturbance. 'I Forewarned,
forearmed," is an excellent motto for any Governor or
person in authority in these war-times, and we are pleased
to know that our Governor bait taken the initiative in
ibis matter.

the camp of rendezvous are one and the same.
The drafted men will be met here by the commies':mere

squads of 6, the cotoruirsioners appointing, for each sec
tion, a temporary commanding otheer, called a inca
se geant, and for each squad a temporary officer called a

commitsioters with one day's rations, after which, they
will pass under the control of the commandant of the

-rWe learn that Brigadier General Heade, a Phils
delphian, has been earnestly recommended by Kai it
General Hooker for promotion on account of great gal
lantry and bravery displayed on every occasion in which
the services of the former were brought into use on the

The blew York Herald of to.day, in regard to the action
of the Board of Brame in striking go'd from the list,
rr The action of the Board of Brokers, fn striking gold
from the list, has given rise to considerable disculsion
sue [many censure the proceeding as an attempt to lay
unwise restrictions on trade. We cannot see that any
mistake bee been made. If speculation in gold could
have been checked otherwise, it would have been far
better to keep the traffic in the article in the open day-
Ight of the Stock Exentange, instead of consigning is to
the d arkness of the back pillion of a few bullion brokers
hut experience has proved that so long as official quota
tons of the rapid fluctuations in gold are puolished twice
a day by the brokers, and the purchase and sale of the
precious metal is r endered as easy and as simple as the
purchase and sale of stocke, it will be the favorite fluor
of the day, and the operators of the street will continue
to gamble in the public credit to the seat Injury,
of the - cOuntry, and probably to the ultimate
ruin of the Government. Excluded from the
Board, gold will fluctuate like money and ex
change; but its fluctuations will not be Placed twice a
day before the eyes of outside speculators to tempt them
to operate in it, and it will only be bought and sold by a
few houses in Wall street, at whose mercy the speculators
will be., Under these ciretnastanees it is pretty clear that
the public at large will not continue to speculate as ac
tivety as they have done in the precious metaL The
temptation will be wanting on the one band ; and on the
other, to speculate in gold, when three or four houses
hold the speculators at thr ir mercy, would be hazardous
in the extreme. For a while it is passible that gold may
continue to rise. As It will not be struck from the Board
lists before Monday, merchants and others who want to
buy in open market. so as to guard against a ootetana
tion of bullion brokers, will probably do so this week.
But the chances are that within a couple of woks the
traffic hi the article will have so materially diminished
that the premium will merely represent the actual public
estimate of the depreciation of the currency."
