Ar.MV OF THB POTOM AO, BOEBETSOM’S TATERIf,
Saturday, November 2S.
All Thursday night troopß, sad ar
tillery were crotaiug the river. A euffiolent force
waa thrown forward, Thursday afternoon, on the
Germania plank road, to oover the front.
Friday morning the 6th and Ist Corps moved from
near the river up the plank road, Gregg’s "cavalry
talcing the advanoe, driving the enemy’s cavalry
back, and skirmishing to Oak YVoods.
At tills point, and one mile beyond, the enemy
made considerable resistance, both sides having out
Strong skirmish lines. Charge upon'charge was
made on'both sides by the skirmish line. Theene.
my were invariably repulsed, and finally suddenly
introduced a line of infantry skirmishers to repel a
charge. ; •
We followed it up promptly by a oqunter move
ment with infantry. For a few moments they forced
our line back, but were finally repulsed by a-vigorous
fire opened upon them from the 6th New York Inde
pendent Battery, Captain Martin. The Ist Brigade
Of Gregg’s Cavalry division, under command of Co
lonel Taylor, did the heaviest part of this work.
This brigade is composed of the lollowing-named
regiments:
Third Pennsylvania Cavalry,
Fiist Penny Cavalry.
, First Cavalry.
First jyiaapJ®Wwtts Cavalry,
First Khode Island Cavalry.
At Oak Wood Companies K and L, Captains'
Wight and Walsh, 3d Pennsylvania Cavalry, had the
advance/ and behaved in the most gallant manner.
Our left, last night, was two miles south of Hope
Meeting House, or Oak Wood, twelve miles from
Germania, on the plank road leading from
rickstmrgto Orange Court House.
Just as the iefcel infantry was so unexpectedly
called upon to repel a charge of the Bkirmish line
as above recorded, the advance of the sth Corpi
came into position very opportunely.
Throwing out a Btrong skirmish line, the enemy
opened with a heavy fire of artillery upon it, which
was responded to in a similar manner from our side y
and for an hour quite a brisk cannonading was kept
up on both, sidea. In one of the charges by the caval
ry twenty* four prisoners were taken.
As the.train of the sth Corps was turning from
the brook pike into the plank.ro ad, a fire was sud
denly opened upon it from a concealed foe, when
one man and several mules were killed.
The eminy were speedily dispersed by a detach*
ment sent cut from the sth Corps for the purpose.
Having crossed Germania Ford, the 3d Corps yes
terday tdok the first road to the right, the Orange
Court House pike.
But little distance had been made before ttieene-*
my 5 s pickets were encountered, and a lively skir- i
mish was kept up to beyond Robertson’s Tavern.
Here the* enemy brought forward their infantry,
and for; two hours there was heavy skirmishing
and considerable artillery practice, until it was quite
gaifc ' . \
next on taeTijriit oi tiie sa corps la the ad oopps,
and then again the 6th Corps. The 3d also had con
siderable skirmishing in front.
At one time;-last night a general engagement
seemed imminent. The reason it did not come off
in fact, was doubtless because neither side was
ready. '
"We may have it to-day.
General Custer, in command *of Kilpatrick’s ca
valry division, wai so anxious to mix in the fight
thafekseemed to be impending, that he made a dash
across Forthwith the Michigan brigade and
battery, and commenced wurk in real
carheet, As the position he was in might become a
■critical one, and as his movement would somewhat
interfere with other arrangements on foot/ he was
directed to recrow the river. -
fhisrnorningjinds' our 'whole army in and
reedy for work. : Everybody seems to be in good
spirits. May that be a harbinger of a decided vic
tory ! ,
i The country hereabouts is one of the worst con
ceivable for field operations. It is truly named the
“Wilderness;” for a wilderness of small growth
wood covers nine-tentha of the whole surface of
the country. So dense are these young forests, that
it is impossible to-penetrate them, except where
paths are cutout. •
This enabled-the enemy yesterday to hover on our
flanks, often within-sight of a moviog column, al-
impunity. It was not until late in the
evening that our line in frout was so connected as to
keep strangling parties of cavalry outside of our
lines, - Duiing the day, it was impossible for any
email parties to pars between the two parallel
columns of|troopa without running the risk of be
ing captures or shot. -r .
At. abouth o’clock P.M., Lieut. .Gifford, post ad
jutant at headquarters, accompanied by six otf\sr
persons, attempted to cross from Gregg’s command
on the left tb headquarters, six miles directly across
on the roai where the 2d Corps had moved up.
When about half way across, the party ran into a
superior foref of the enemy, who fired a volley at
the party* and then atartedin pursuit. A breakneck
race ioipf bout two miles was the next thing on the
prograu&'jtf ktuite a number of shots were fired at
the fleeing pfc&y, but fortunately no one was wound
ed, though a jnumber of shots came uncomfortably
near. In thdrace, two of the party were unhorsed,
and four loattheir hats, very glad to escape so easily.
Several <3d!er small parties were fired upon in. dif
ferent directions while attempting to pass from one
column to another.
Through some mistake the 3d Corps did not get
into position as eoon as was expected, which gave
the enemy teibporarily.some advantage.
The 3d, however, promptly'met the emergency,
and Buccecdea in captiHng between seven and nine
hundred of the enemy i \
Some-toree hundred prisoners were taken at other
partsofthe line. j

How W.e Treat
Lebel Prisoners*
We have published mo/fc painful evidence of the
sufferings of our priEOheri in Riohmoml, including
the inhuman, murderous| treatment of our sick
soldiers in their' hospitals, We condense some of
the testimony of William ] , Swaine, M. D., inspec
tor United State# Sanifcay Commission, who re
cently inspected the hosptal for rebel prisoners at
Point Lookout, Maryland.l Ha found the accommo
dations there muoh bettesthan he expected to find
them.- Bight of their own men, six of them gra
duates from medical and the other two stu
dents, are detailed to supeintend one hundred pa
tlents/ Their rations are aafollows:
Fuix Diet.—Dinner—Betf or pork, 4 oz.; pota
toes, 4 oz,; hardtack, 3 oz; Breakfast and Tea—Oof
fee or tea, l pint; rioe, 2, Jjilla; molasses, 1 oz.:
hard tack, 2 oz.
Halt diet.— pinner—MAt, 2 oz. ; potatoes, 3
oz.; hard tack, 2 oz. Breakfast and Tea—Coffee or
tea, l pint; rice, i gill ; molato, % oz.; hard tack,
2oz. *u , j ...
Low Diet.—Dinner—No Meat; potatoes,2 oz.;
hard tack, 1 oz. Breakfast aid Tea—Coffee or tea, 1
pint; rice, 1 gill; molasses, 1 te,; hard tack, 1 oz.
Soup and soft bread are alsigiven at least once a
■ week. )
The cooking is done by their own men, and we
have heard no complaint in this quarter, except that
they were poorly supplied;with cooking utensils,
and were very much in want of tin oups, knives and
forks. \
They bad a large cooking-sove, but they com
plained that it was not suffiuieit for their purpose,
as it kept them at work all the time—the very rea
son that it should not be changed or another given
them. The cooks, tent, and spvo were dirty—the
peculiar characteristic—and tie tent where the
nurses and attendants dined warin the same plight;
although I am glad to say the tjble from whioh they
ate was scoured, and looked veiy clean, as also the
plates and cups.. V
He-heard no complaint abiiat tent accommoda
tions. Tire inspector continues!*
Concerning the rations, I heard a great deal of
complaint 1 that thty did not \jet enough to eat;
they wanted more meat; what they dtd get they
spoke of in the highest terras. > J j
The ration of the well men isr .
A Day’s Ration— Pork, 3 oz.; salt beef, 4 oz,;
hard tacit, 16 oz.; coffee, 1 pint^
Soup is given-once a week, potatoes and beans
every five days, soft bread onboa week, and fresh
meat.,has been issued to them tace a week up to
two weeks ago. - J
Others again did not find fault with the rations
but the cocking, that;it was nbt doae well, and
there ought to be change made, Set. So I visited the
Kitohenand Dining-rooms. -V-Theae ave in the
northwest corner of the camp, aid are composed of
six wooden buildings, 160 feet in length, and 20, feet
ctr from the kitchen. Only five of the buildings are
in The kitchen ,arraugemeijta are very good,
each one containing four cauldrons and one fire,
each cauldron , capable of containing from fifty to
sixty gallons. 1
Breakfast and suppefr they reliequpoa hard tack,
tea or coffee, and, as I said before, there is no likeli
hood of theirstarving. The dining‘room contains
three tables, and each-house feeds t,*29 men-r-SOa at
a St cm to be well supplied with all articles
both for kitohen and dining room.. v :

vailing disease, scurvy; yet a grelt ..many arc
troubled with the diarrhoea, and as they gradually
glow worse, are admitted to the hospital to be sent
to thegeaerftMiOßpitsl. Those men who Are sick
iii quarters, and who are unable to eat the rations
given them, have instead: vinegar, throe ounces;
potatoes, fit e; rice, one gill; molasses, one gill—
one day’s rations. Each man nocks for himself.
They have abundance of water in tbe camp, not
withstanding several of the wells are unfit for use.
The. waters of those not In use are strongly impreg
nated with iron, and will stain white clothing a yel-.
low or light brown. Outside of these, there is an
abundance of good water, and no excuse whatever
for being otherwise than cleanly; but they seem to
abhor soap and water—at least, their appearance so
indicates. A great many are employing their time
in making brick, and have now a great quantity on
hand. Others employ themselves in making rings,
chains’, seals, &c., from bones and gutta-percha;
and, notwithstanding the complaint that they do
not get enough to eat, you’ll find them on the main
street, which they call the “’Change,’’gambling
both for money and'rations. They have games at
cards, reno* sweat-cloth, &c. Also on .this Btreet
they do their trading—hard*tacE for tobacco, and to*
bacoo for hard*tack. It is here that you will find
them in crowds, sitting or kneeling in the dirt,
eagerly watching the different games, and see them
arise dißiatisfied at having lost their day’s rations ;
and, while thus engaged, they are unmindful of the
cold.
The Bize of the enoampmentis about sixteen awes;
the whole surrounded by a board fence twelve feet
high, with a platform on the outside for the senti
nel, sufficiently high for him to look within the in
closure. It is within this that there are confined
about eight thousand prisoners.
Wendeil Phillips 7 Attach on Secretary
Chase—The Margaret Garner Case*
CFrom theCinciDhati Commercial.]
In your paper of yesterday 1 eee an extract from
a speech by Wendell Phillips, in Boston, in which,
speaking of Secretaiy Ohase, he says: “ The Go
vernor who sacrificed ; Margaret Garaer has no
heart.” And a communication in the Liberator (Gar
rißon'fl paper), attacking Secretary Chase, after
speaking in a sneering manner of his devotion to
freedom,say*: “Perhapsit may be so; but witl
some person have the kindness to answer this ques
tion, viz.: what was Mr, Chase’s connection with
the mournful fate of. Margaret Garner!»
I propose to answer this question, not for any
S artisan purpose, but that justice maybe done to
Lr. Ohase. lam fully, conversant with'the whole
case of Margaret Garner, having been at that time
prosecuting attorney of Hamilton county, Ohio,
and the case being under my and manage
ment. And so far from it being the truth that Mr.
Chase “sacrificed Margaret Gamer,”or exhibited
the fact therein that “he had no heart,” I unhesi
tatingly say that no man could have done more than
he did, or could have evinced a more lively interest
in her-behalf. The case was one of a peculiar cha
racter, and the entire community sympathized deeply
in it.
The facta are briefly these .* On the 28th of January,
1866, & colored woman, Margaret Garner, her four
children, two other colored women, and two colored
men, claimed tobe slaves of Moses Gaines,of Boone
Kentucky, crossed the Ohio river, on the
ice, below Cincinnati, into this county. The master
pursued, in a few hours after, and procured a war
rant ior their arrest from a United States Commis
sioner. The marshal, with a posse, attempted to
arrest them, when Margaret seized her children and
attempted to kill them all, aa.ahe said, to prevent
them from being taken into slavery. One she killed,
by cutting her throat from ear to ear j two others
were severely cut across the throat, and the skull
of another badly injured, by blows from a fire
shovel. She and the other negroes were arrested by
the marshal, and placed for safety in the jail of this
county. The Grand Jury being in session a few
days after, on the Bth of February, brought in an
inoictment against her, for murder, in the Court of
Common Pleas of this county. The marshal claimed
the custody of her, by virtue of hin warrant, under
the fugitive-slave law, and the sheriff claimed her
also under a capita issued by me on the indictment.
The question of the ownership of the negroes was
tried before the Commissioner, for some ten or more
days, the parties being brought out, frercday to day,
by the amrshaPa deputy and the sheriff’s deputies, -*■
each refusing to yield separate control ts> the other.
The Commissioner finally decided to remand them
to their owners. I immediately made a motion in
court that the 'sheriff; make his return•uapon the
capias. He returned that he found the parties in
jaiJ, placed there by the marshal, and did not feel
authorized to take them from his custody. The
court then directed him,to amend his return, and
state that he held them in custody. This was done
accordingly. Seeing a conflict thus likely to
ensue, between the State and National authorities,
and feeling that the claim of the State to punish for
& crime was superior to the claim of the master over
his property, 1 determined and so instructed the
sheriff to keep possession of the prisoners until the
question could be thoroughly and legally tried, and,
accordingly, wrote to Mr. Chase, who was then Go
vernor of the State, to ask what course I should
pursue. He immediately answered that he should
hold the custody of them until the question could be
: tried luliy, and that he would render any assistance
in his power;-to hold them until the question of con
flict could be decided. A writ of habeas corpus
was then sued out by the marshal before Judge
Leavittofjbe District Court of the Southern Dis
trict of Ohio, and Governor Chase rendered, every
aseiitance in hia power to have the question fairly
©Sieriajj sway- coxasisel -to-»eei<at I=. tn© VAffi
The questions were elaborately argued on the part
of the eheiiff by Judge Hoadley, Mr. Chase’s former.
law partner (whose abilities are well-known here),
and was taken under advisement by Judge Leavitt,
who on the 29th of February, 1866, decided that the
p&rties/were in the custody of the United States
marshal, and were unlawfully taken from Mb cus
tody by the sheriff, and ordered the sheriff to deliver
them into the hands Gf the marshal. Immediately .
upon this decision the owner, of .the slaves, in '
open court, stftied that he would hold them in Ken
tucky subject to a requisition'from the Governor.
Governor Chase was immediately notified of that
fact, and sent his private secretary, Mr. Bice, to this
city to attend to it. I made out a full statement ol
the case, and attached to it a copy of the indict
ment, upon which Governor Chase issued a requisi
tion on the Governor of Kentucky for the return of
Margaret as a fugitive from justice. This Gov.
Chase sent toFrackfort by a special commissioner, ■
who was also accompanied by another gentleman,
with $BOO to give to the owner if he would manu
mit Margaget. The Governor of Kentucky promptly
issued Mb warrant, after submitting the question to
his Attorney-General whether she was a fugitive ’
from justice under the meaning of the law, and im--
mediately telegraphed to the owner, who had taken
Margaret to Louisville, not to remove her from the :
State.
The Commissioner went to Louisville and there
learned that Margaret had, in defiance of the Go
vernor’s telegraph, been sMpped on. the steamer
Henry Lewis for Arkansas, which had been burned
or sunk while on the passage— That' Margaret,
handcuffed as she was,-had* grasped her child in her
arms, and jumped overbehrd, and was drowned. It
was subsequently learned that-Margaret hadbsen i
rescued and sent •to Louisiana. What was her fate
after this I know not.
My-own feelings were intensely enlisted in hcr
behalf. She had no concealment to make of her
attempt to kill her children, but told me freely that -
it was her firm determination to destroy them all,
and herself also, rather than again to return to
slavery. It was my duty to prosecute her for the
offence, and though feeling it doubtful whether any
jury, in admiring the heroic spirit of the mother,
who could kill herself, and offspring rather than
suffer the degradation of slavery, would find in her
case that malice which is necessary to establish
murder. I felt it my duty to shield her as much as
possible from a fate which she dreaded more than
the punishment of the law. When she was taken
from the State by the authority of the United States
Court, the only remedy was by requisition on the
Governor of Kentucky.
In every step I found Gov. Chase prompt and effi
cient, sympathizing deeply in the cate, and ready to
render any assistance in his power.

Results of Emancipation.
The editor of the Nashville Union , writing from
Washington, gives the following in respect to the
results of emancipation in the District of Columbia:
Many of our friends in Tennessee are asking, with
much solicitude, what -shall we do with the slaves
when liberated ! Let me give the substance of con
versations which I have had with several late slave
holders, who reside in this District, and, after an
experience of negro freedom of over two years, thus
bear testimony in this important case. I inquired
of these gentlemen, all of high social position, as
follows; -
“ What has been the general effect of emancipa
ting the slaves in this District?
“ Deeidedly.benefioial to both masters and slaves.”
“Have you suffered any considerable social con
vulsion in consequence?”
“ Not at all; matters have progressed as smoothly
as ever.”' ,
“Are the negres insolent and lawless ?”
“Not so much so as formerly. They feel that
they are now standing on their good behavior
alone.”
. “ Have you much trouble in procuring laborers?”
None at all; the negroes work readily and faith
fully for wages. They do their work better than
ever, because they know that they must either fulfil
their contracts or get no pay.’V
“■Do the people regret the change which emaaci
pationbas effected?”
“ No, hardly one man in the whole district, except
a few politicians, would vote for the restoration of
slavery. "Mr; and Mr. ——who were both
large slaveowners, and opposed emancipation bit
terly, now declare openly that they never want to
slavery restored.” .
Certainly this evidence is important, and worth
the consideration of Tennesseans. Let us act
honestly .towards the. slaves, and thbn the conse
quences will take care of themselves. Let us offer
u greenbacks” instead of cowhides to the negro, and
he will work with fresh alacrity and hope. He has
a soul; let us treat him accordingly. If we use our
numerical superiority to rob him of his natural
rights and defraud him of his wages, we will pull
down upon our own beads "and the beads of our
children the just penalty of our guilt, amid the mer
less tempests of s social revolution. .
Slavery in Tennessee*
In a lecture, delivered in Boston, by Dr. Bowen,
of East Tennessee, that gentleman said:
Slavery is dead in Tennessee. There being no
constable, or local officers, evfery . man’s negro can
walk off when and where he pleases. And the only
trouble among the Union men has been that they did
not promptly recognize the fact. The emancipation
question is settled, and the next question is, what
shall be done with the freed negro 1 Dr. Bowen
confessed that he heard of enlisting him, at first,
with horror. He had seen whole gangs crouching
an unaided overseer, and feared they would
not face white men in battle. But the accounts of
Milliken’s Bend, Fort Hudson, Charleston, Sts., ob
tained often through reliable" 1 private sources, were
too much for further doubt. Nowthe great ma
jority of Union men in Nashville, and iu Tennessee,
are in favor of enlisting the blacks, and Dr. Bo wen
is himself the bearer of a memorial from them to the
President, urging him to press the enlistments till
they take every able-bodied negro in the State.
Cine reason for this course is that it will bestpre
vent the revival of slavery.
As to the future of the negro, there heed be no
concern—certainly none, said Dr. Bowen, for thirty
or forty with whom ho waa ooncarned. He believed
the contraband oamps to be bad in their influence.
For the most part, the negroes would take care of
themselves." They are all needed in the South for
laborers, and soon there would be no prejudice
against hiring them. Already it was found to be.
some obstacle in the way of onlistment that planters
were ofieriog.'wages to their slaves to keep them
from going into camp.
’With regard to Major Stearns 1 progress in getting
colored volunteers, it was much greater than was to
have been expected. Recruits have for Borne weeks
been coming in at the rate of Beventy-five a. day.
By a letter received from him on the 13th, it appears ■
that besides Nashville, he is also recruiting at Gal
latin, where he has 606 men, Charleston, and Mur
freesboro. His third regiment is about filled-up. A
board sitting in Nashville supplies him
and there is no diSculty in getting all. that are
wanted. No Union planter baa yet prosecuted an ap
plication for pay for his enlisted Blaves, and in the
meeting of twenty-two large slaveholders, for the
most part, who. signed the memorial referred to
above, it was unanimously voted to strike out a
clause askiDg suob pay. Dr. Bowen thought it per
fectly safe to say that Tennessee- would furnish
10,000 colored troops, and the number might go up.
to 20,000. He expressed the senss-of his Union c&
adjutora ia saying that the prompt eupipreaaion Of
the rebellion would settle all ot&ei; questions to the
best possible advantage.

THE ESCAPE OP KOECIAE.
How his liberty was Effected—A. Curious
Deiter— TJlicrc tlie Blame Rests.
Cincinnati, Nov. SO.—The six officers who es
caped from the penitentiary at Columbus, with Mor
gan, were Capts. Bennett, Taylor, Sheldon, Hines,
Hackewinitb, and Magee.
John H. MdVgan, on retiring, changed with his
brother Diclc from the top cell to the lower tier.
The floor of the lower ceil is two and a half incheß
thick, in whioh a hole was cut, running to the main
wall around the penitentiary. This wall was cut
under, and the party etcapod into the open country.
The night was dark and a heavy rain was falling.
Not the slightest cine has been discovered Of their
whereabouts, or the route they have taken.
The Governor has telegraphed all the military
committees of the State to arouse their several coun
ties, and Colonel Parrott, the Provost IVlarahal Ge
neral of the State, has notified every provost mar
shal within his jurisdiction to ecour their several
districts thoroughly.
The most plausible theory mentioned iz that they
escaped in time to take the Cincinnati train via Day
ton, which started from Columbus at 2A. M, on
Friday night. That their escape was connived atby
sympathizers there is little doubt.
The manner of their escape wac ingenious, but af
ter all simple enough, based upon the almost certain
theory that they were correctly informed as to the
ground they had to Work through.
They, by patient labor for nearly weeks, by
means of small pocket knives, dugthrough the boors
of their cellß, composed ot about one foot of atone
and brick, down into a four-feet sewer.
Two weeks ago/one of the eacaped prisoners
asked the guard fewbpardfc to cover thebottom
of their cells, ;giving.’aftn excuse that the damp
atone-was injuring their health. Their unsuspi
cious guard granted the request. The boards were
used to cover up the holes they were cutting.
On the night of their final escape, on retiring to
their several cells, Dick Morgan managed to change
with his brother John from the lower to the upper
tier.
After getting into the sewer they crawled to the
heavy grating and masonry at its mouth, and found
they could not escape by that route. They, how
ever, made a hole upward to a heavy pile of coal,
which rolled in on them to such an extent that they
were forced to go farther back into the yard; they
then excavated the soft earth dear under the main
wall, and ao correctly was the distance calculated,
that they came out into the open road way one foot
from the foundation. ,
One of the party (Captain Hines) was by trade a
brickmason, and seems to have had the manage
ment of the whole affair. A note signed by that
woithy, written in a fine, commercial hand, was left*
behind, as follows:

j Public opinion is divided as to where the blame
rests. It is proper to state, however, that for the
last two weeks several of the most prominent Cop
peiheads of the State have been putting up at the
principal hotels, laying their heads together, with
out any visible reason therefor.
Tiie War Democrats of tiae BForfc&west*
The Conference of War Democrats, held at Chic Ago
on Wednesday last, was attended by come forty
persona, representing the States of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, .Wisconsin, and Minnesota. A declaration
of principles was adopted, and measures taken look
ing to a national organization. The platform de
clares unequivocally in favor of the Union, denies
that the Constitution affords any pretest for seces
sion, providing, on the contrary, a peaceful remedy
for every grievance that may occur in any part of
the country: \ ■
“That, during the existence of this rebellion to
destroy the Union, we hereby declare that the pre
servation of the Union under the Constitution shall
be the paramount issue with us, and we hereby pro
claim teliowshlp with, and desire the co operation of,
all who will unite with us for the attainment of this
object j Mil we repudiate parties and their siapi
tnizers) no well as all plßllormii wUisn toss ortsad

and array resistance to law anywhere, and whose
avowed or secret purpose, if consummated, must
end in disunion.
“That this meeting recommend the war Demo
cracy of the several States to meet in delegate na
tional convention, at Cincinnati, on the first Wed
nesday in May, 1864, for the purpose of taking such
action as they may think befit touching the nomina
tion of candidates for President and Vice President
of the United States, and determine other.matters
as they may think proper, and that there be a Na
tional Executive Committee of one from each State;
to promote the object of the resolution.
“ The following gentlemen were named as mem

Gen- Rosecrans’ Official Report.
The Washington Republican of Thursday evening,
says : "It is expected that the War Department
will publish, erelong, the offloial reports of General
Bosecrahs and the different corps commanders of
his army. The report was finished and sent off be
fore his removal, and General Rosecrans in ithas
confined himself to a narrative of the events of the.
campaign. It does not,*therefore,-explain hia re
moval.
We understand that the document, which is rather
voluminous; commences with an account of the time
and labor expended in the repairing of the Nashville
and Chattanooga. Railroad to the Tennessee river,
which goes to show that the Army of the Cumber-*
land could not well move earlier than it did. A full;
description of the topography of the theatre of offen-”
aive movements then follows, conveying an idea of*
the great local obstacles that had to be encountered,'
and demonstrating that the plan of operations after
watd carried out south o f the Tenneese was the only
practicable one.
The latter was to make a feint direct advance 01
Chattanooga with part of the army, along the
north and south bank of the river, and to execute
with the main body a flank movement upon the ene-
right, by which it was expected either to com
pel the enemy to abandon Chattanooga or to bring
a. flacking column between him and his lines of
communication and retreat. After the former con
tingency bad occurred and Chattanooga had fallen
into our hands, pursuingmovements were instituted
UDder the impression that the enemy was in full re
treat toward Rome and Atlanta, Gen. Crittenden’s
corps being directed to pursue via Dalton, Gen.
Tlfomas’s corps via Lafayette, and Gen. McCook’s
corps via Alpine and Summerville. Upon ascer
raining, however, the enemy to be concentrated near -
Lafayette, & counter-concentration was ordered' in
McLemore’s cove. . • : ‘ .
This was delayed some days, by the failure of Mc-
Cook’s corps to take a certain road which he had
been ordered to follow. On the ISth of September,
it waß ascertained that the enemy was trying to get
between our army and Chattanooga, and a move
ment by the left ordered to prevent this. This mo ve*
ment brought od the first collision on the 19th. Of
the battle of the 19th but a brief account is given.
No subordinate is censured in connection with it.
The author of the report says of it that it was abso
lutely necessary to secure our concentration in front
of Chattanooga j that in its course our ‘ army main
tained its ground everywhere, and gained its objects,
viz : the control of the road leading through Ross
ville to Chattanooga.
In connection with the battle ef the 20th, he says
that not only the safety of our communications but
that of the army itself depended upon it. He states
that in the re-formation of the lines of battle during
the night and in the course of the early forenoon,
both Generals McCook and Crittenden repeatedly
failed to post and move their commands as directed,
whereby the result of the action was seriously af
fected. Gen. Woodbe makeß responsible for an un
fortunate mistake in the execution of an order, by
which the gap of the right was created that resulted
in the rout oi that portion of the line. '
In regard to his going into Chattanooga before the
battle was over, he says.that in the rout of the night
he was entirely cut off from the remainder of the
army, and that, after an unsuccessful direct attempt
to reach the left, he determined to make another by.
way of KbaoviUe. On arriving near that pUoe, he
was informed that Negley was in full retreat, and
believing him to have been on the extreme left, he
concluded that the whole army had given away, and
determined to go to Chattanooga to make prepara
tions for the defence of the place, and see to the safety
of the pontoon bridges across the Tennessee. At the
conclusion of the report, he speaks in rather brief
terms of the services of General Thomas, aud be
stows rather ambiguous praise upon Generals Mc-
Cook and Crittenden.
The report'is accompanied by a full list: of all the
officers and men that distinguished'.themselvesln
the battle. The reports of General Thomas, Mc-
Cook, and Crittenden are all voluminous* General
Thomas maltea a very plain statement of facts with-*
out direot censure of any one. Generals MeCJook
and Crittenden claim'prompt obedience to all orders
of General Koeecrana for themielvee. The former
says that all the citizens denied the existence of the
road General Kosecrans desired him.-, to follow on
the maroh from Alpine to cove, and
that General Thomas adviced him to> take the one
he did.

Thomas Cablxab. — A criticism on Carlyle in
Essays, by a barrister (.Mr. Stephen), from, the Satur.
day Review, is a good commentary on O&riylc’s judg
ment on Americas affairs;.
1 “ Mr. Carlyles political writings *- * *. show,
at every points a.complete incapacity of estimating
justly any subject which comes immediately under
the observa'alori of the writer. When a man or thing
stands fir enough from Mr. Carlyioto‘enable him
to view it and paint it as a whole, he does so with
admirable artistic effect, though with, questionable,
correctness. When it is close to him, he is so much
irritated by the irregularities and: blemishes of its
surface that he never inquires what is below. He is,
on the whole, one of the greatest wits and poets,
but,the most untrußtwortay moralist and politician,
of our age and nation.”
The Net Bonnet.—Xe Beau, Monde desoribsa as
follows a new fashion in ladies’bonnetsPerhaps,
one of the most remarkable bonnets which have been
brought under the observation of the fashionable
world is that shape which has been published within
the last two or three weeks', and which the inventor
calls the “ result,” (in English the net shape.) The
application of this name will bn felt true when we
say that in each case a faucy and decorated net is
attached to the bonnet, in the place of the curtain,
and so conveniently that. the. hair can be immedi
ately placed in it, and released upon taking the bon

the flowing styles of sparing the.hair which are

Mr. F. Leypoldt has brought ouithe fifth volume
of his Foreign Library, it i B entitled “Human Fol
lies,” and 1* a translation from “La Bfiteae Hu.
maine,” a free-and-easy tale of Parisian lire, by Jules
Noriac, .whioh has obtained great popularity, ia
Paris. The tale Is Improbable, but amusing, and*
we should question its morality, if we lived where
the sins and fascinations of a consumptive larette (Ca
mille) were not popular on the Btage, whether said
or sung. The translation, by George Marlow, is the
perfection of eaße and spirit. In this series, will
immediately appear “ The Romance of a Poor Young
Man,” “Mademoiselle La Guintinie,” by George'
Sand, and “ Sybilla,” by Octavo Feuillet. .
“Heimioh Heine,” by Matthew Arnold, Is the
first of Leypoldt’s series of Modern Essays. It is
more critical than biographical, but brilliant and
analytic. We recommend it be carefully perused
before the next ol Mr. Leypoldt’s new boohs is
taken up—that book being Heine’s Book of Songs,
translated by Charles G. Leland. Some: of our
readers may not know, but it is a fact, that Mr. Le
land is one of the best German scholars in this
country. He has a thorough understanding of
Heine’s varying moods and motives, and' possesses
considerable power, with no small practice, of cor
rect versification. His rendition of Heine's lyrics
is very good; had he always followed Heine’s metre.
It would have been excellent.
■ George W. Childs, of this city, is a publisher of
judgment and enterprise. His National Almanack
has never been equalled in any country, and he has
raised the American Publishers’ Circular, , from the
comatose condition of a mere advertising sheet to a
vigorous existence aa the American Literary Gazette,
as valuable to the millions who read as to the few
hundreds who publish books. Last week, Tve no
ticed, as it deserved, Mr. Childs’ latest publication*
Alger’s “History of the Dootriue of a Future Life,
a large volume which no thoughtful, truth-searching
mind can ever think tedlouß; a work which it is
very difficult to lay down. We should have noticed,
long ago, two other standard works published by
Dir. Childs. The first (an 6vo. of Seepages) achieved,
some months age, the honor of going Into a second
edition here. It Is a scientific and philosophical
work, which the unlearned can understand, so plain
and practical Is the author, and It la entitled “The
Geological Evidences of the Antiquity ot Man, with
Remarks on theories of the Origin of Species by
Variation.” The author is Sir Charles Lyell, the
great English geologist. The great question treated
of ia, did Man co-exist with certain extinct mam
malia! Human remains have been found adjacent
to these remains of animals, some of extinct, Borne of
existing species, and tbesubject is much involved In
doubt. Lyell’s treatment of it is singularly full and
fair, and his book goe3 nearer settling the dis
puted point than any other. The second scientific
work recently issued by Mr. Childs is “ The Great
Stone Book of Nature,” by Professor Aostcd. It ia
largely illustrated with wood engravings, and treats
of many kindred subjects,' from sand to diamonds
and other gems. The chapter on the Pre-Adamite
world Is singularly interesting, and may be advan
tageously read even artcr Lyell’e more detailed elu
cidation
Mr, Carletoa, of New York, is an enterprising

of Victor Hugo’s “ Lea Misdrablee” and of his Life.

“Peculiar, a Tale of the Great Transition,’* is a*
anti-slavery novel; written by Epea Sargent, of the
Boston Transcript t a well-known and successful au
thor. He has produced biographies, plays, poetry,.
criticism, and several good school-books, but this,-
we believe, is hia first raid into the realm of fiction*
The tale is of our own time, and cornea down to the
middle of October. The hero is a colored man,
named “ Peculiar Institution,” commonly abridged.
“Peek.” The incidents aie founded on facts com
municated by General Butler relative to certain,
zocial disclosures in New Orleans, and Mr. Sargent
hasmadeasingulariy-impressive tale out of them*
If there be any pro-slavery people in the North, tM»
story will greatly stagger their fatalbelief. “Peek”
is a man of action, worth a dozen puling Uncle
Toms. Ail the scenes down South are full of life
A&d energy; in ehorti a very readable book with &.

for it that Mr. C&rleton had to put a fourth edition
to press before he could issue a copy. We have t®
inform the author, however, that he errs (on page
49) in designating an English baronet as a “noble
man.” :
“Alice of Monmouth: an Idyl of the Great War*
and other Poems,” by Edmund O. Stedm.m, is pub
lished by Carleton. It is a story of the time, well
written (for its author is a poet), but withlittle more
than the skeleton of a plot. Seme of the introduced
lyrics are very spirited. The miscellaneous poems,
gay and grave, are good.
“The Russian Ball; or, The Adventures of Miss
Clementine Shoddy,” by a New York Editor, is a
brochwfeA n verse, lively-and satirical—a passing hit
at a past-folly, with special record of the New York
practice, at public, festivals, of the gentlemen de
vouring the supper before helping the ladies even t©
a glass of water. ' j
“ The Yaehtman’s and Amateur Sailor’s Primer,**
by T. Robinson Warren, published by Carleton, will

A few novels have appeared since our last notice.
Harper & Brothers have added “ Mary Lindsay,” a
tale of English society, to their fine series of select
standard novels—a collection of modern fiction,
which is alibrsry'in itself, at about one-tenth of the
foreign publishing price. Every incident in “ Mary
Lindsay. 1 ? ‘ might have occurred, and the interest
though notvsensappeal, is well maintained to the
last.
Mr. Burnham, of Boston, has published “Rumor,**
a posthumous novel, by the late Elizabeth Sheppard
author of “ Charles Auchester.” It is a very- singu
lar work, the hero of which is a German musician*
Among the .characters is Louis Napoleon, before and
after his eleyation 1 To confess the truth, it is heavy
work to readjhrough, (as we did,) the whole of this
volume of verbosity. Parts of it are good, remind
ing us of “ Consuelo,” ■ put the story is at once di
dactic, rhetorical, and “ long spun out.”
The sequel of Fierce Egan’s, “The Poor Girl,”
has been published by Dick & Fitzgerald, New York ;
it is entitled “ Hagar Loti” and though a little too
much in Reynold’s manner, without his sensuality,
is an exciting, though thoroughly, impossible* ro.
m&Bce of modem life. Very dififersztf from this sen
sational story is “Good Society; or, Contrasts ef
Character,” by Mrs. Grey, , who has written nearly
88 many novels as Scott, Jamea, or Bnlwer. She
understands English society, and has here delineated.'

The sixth number of J, G. Gregory’* SiandarSi
Series , is a novel entitled “ The Cruellest Wrong
of All.” It is a well-written, painful story, full of
mystery and. trouble, and ending sadly.
Books for young people, so abundant at this season*,
when Christmas-boxes and New Year’s gifts abound,
are gLOt very plenty just yet. Lindsay & BlakUtoa
have issued “ The Girl’s Library,” a collection of six
well-written stories by Mrs, Ho witt, Mrs. Myers*
and Miss Harriet B. MeKeever, handsomely got up,
with illustrations, and admirably adapted for girls
in their ’teens.—-The Philadelphia Episcopal Book
Society publieh “The Oiled Feather,” a tale-of
country folks written by an English clergyman.—
Messrs. Martien, of Chestnut street, have sent us
“George Morton and' hia Sister,” by Caroline M.
Trowbridge, a story of more than ordinary merit.
We suggest that, in future stories, the author, weed
her dialogue from such vulgarisms as “I wculdlike
to go first rate,” “Hikeit first,rate,”and. so- on.
Young people may get the idea that such expressions
are correct because she uses them. -

The Devil's Coffee Mills Army.

writes, on the 9th :*

invented by a man who once hailed from Illi

that might do tremendous , execution. in skir
mishing were it not as liable to get out of order as a
lady’s watch. Imagine a big rifle mounted upon a
light pair of wheels, and Bwung easily upon an arc
of a circle by a lever under the gunner’s left arm, so
as to sweep the rascals like a broora. Imagine a cof
fee-mill hopper where the loisk ought to be, and a
crank to matob. Then, here is a little copper box
fitting the hopper. You, fill it with a do-,
zen or tweaxty carMtiges, clap it into tfcs.*
hopper, and Cfce thing is ready for business. The v
gunner seata himaelf/oomfortably behind the gun,
