From the Washington Chronicle, Jau.
We are happy to be able to inform
our readers of two very important cap
tures made by Colonel Baker's detec
tive force. At half past six, the night
before last, Col. Baker received infOr
mation that one Capt. John 11. Boyle,
of the rebel General Stuart's staff, was
lying concealed within our lines, at the
house of his mother, at Upper Marlbo
ro'. lie immediate)) , sent tive of his
men to capture bhp. The night, as
our readers will recollect, was one of
the darkest and stormiest we have had
this winter. The rain fell in torrents,
while a cold east wind blew a perfect
bale. Five minutes' exposure was en
ough to wet any man to the skin.—
On arriving at the outposts, our little
force was overtaken by a squad of men
from the force of Col. Doster, the Pro
vost Marshal, and after a few hints
from the sergeant in charge, found
that they had received the same infor
mation, and were in pursuit of the
same party. It is none of our busi
ness to tell where this information
came from, but it may not be out of
the way to say that our military or
ganization is much nearer perfect in
its system of obtaining secret informa
tion than the public is inclined to be
lieve. Because all our information is
not published in the newspapers, and
every successful foray, raid or capture
of the rebels is paraded in capitals all
through the Northern press, is no sign
that we are entirely ignorant of the
designs and operations of the rebels.
The provost men were not quite sure
of their road, and entrusted themselves
to the guidance of the detectives.—
But after riding together a short dis
tance, the sergeant became distrustful,
and fearing that they might be rebels
leading him into some trap, parted
front their company, and went his own
road. hard and dismal ride of 20
stiles brought tho detectives to the
house where they had been informed
that the rebel captain lay concealed.—
They surrounded the house, and went
inside, but found no one. While they
were there, Col. Dorster's men came
up to the same house, thus proving
conclusively re each party that both
were bound on the same errand.—
They found a contraband iu the barn,
who said that Capt. Boyle had been
there, but had gone on towards the
Potomac. The detectives started off,
leaving the provost cavalry at the
house, and, before going far, met a ne
gro, who informed them that Captain
Boyle was concealed in a house about
three miles beyond. Thither they
went, knocked :it the door, anti receiv
ing no answer, burst it open. Upon
this, out jumps our rebel captain from
a two-story window, with his coat on
his arm. Two shots were fired at him
as he passed through the air, and as
soon as he touched the ground, he held
up his arms and cried out, " I surren
der." He was taken to Washington,
and is now in close confinement in the
Old Capitol prison.
This Captain Boyle was with Stuart
on his last raid. He is the officer who
paroled the prisoners taken at Dum
fries, and Colonel Baker has one of
the paroles in his possession. lie had,
when captured, his confederate com
mission in his pocket. Ilis identity
as an officer in the rebel army being
thus completely established, as he was
captured within our lines, he is clear
ly, by the laws of war, a spy. - No fur
ther proof is needed. But further
proof is at hand, in the form of letters
which he had about him; and those
letters are not merely private, but
-some of them are communications to
the rebel authorities, and are of the
greatest importance. He will be tried
as a spy ; and if convicted—and noth
ing short of a miracle call save hhn
from that fate—he will be hung.—
Capt. Boyle's father is in the navy de
partment at Richmond. He himself
has-been to Washington before, as be
says, three times.
Tile day before this, Capt. Charles
Powell, also of Stuart's cavalry, was
captured within our lines by some of
General Sigel's force and Colonel Ba
ker's detectives. He is very frank,
acknowledges his identity, shows his
confederate commission, acknowledg
es that be was acting as a spy, and on
the whole does not seem to care
- whether school keeps or not. lie
wore, when taken, a dark overcoat,
which, he said was taken at Dumfries
'mu one of our soldiers. It was orig
ally light blue, like all the soldiers'
ercoffis, but was colored by the use
i a butternut dye. lie says there is
factory at Gordonsville, where there
re hundreds of these overcoats color
d. The proof against Powell is as
conclusive as that against Boyle, and
both will probably share the same fate.
~ When men undertake the business of
spies, they do it knowing the risk, and
these two adventurous captains can
not complain if they are 'obliged to
make a very ungraceful exit from this
world of sorrows at the end of a halter,
instead of falling on the battle-field.
'The Negroes in the South.
In Quartermaster General Meigs'
report, as lately printed, we find the
following statements in reference to
the negroes of the South and the mili
tary operations of our army :
Much difficulty has been feared in
dealing with the colored population
in the Southern States. Thus far,
this Department has not been oppless
od with them. In the field operations
in Yivginia, the supply of able-bodied
negro labor has not exceeded the , de
mand. It has rather been difficult to
fill the requisitions for such labor.
Upon fortifications, as drivers of
.teams and ambulances, as hostlers, as
laborers in the quartermaster's depart
.ment, repairing railroads and military
roads, all who have offered have found
ready employment.
The labor of able-bodied men, with
that of women able to wash for tho
hospitals, has supported all who have
come directly under charge of this de
yartment upon the Potomac.
At Ilarrison's Landing, a body of a
thousand negroes, organized by Colo
nel Ingalls into gangs, were most ef
fective in landing stores from the
transports, bearing fatigue and expo•
sure in that unhealthy climate much
longer than the white soldiers and la
borers, who .coon broke down along
side of them._ ';'heir assistance was
there of the greatest value VI the ar
.
On the southeastern coast, large
numbers of them were employed by
the quartermaster's department in the
necessary labors of the posts. This
left the more costly soldier to his pure
ly military duties.
With all the people of the Southern
States as united, through choice or
military compaMon, as the whites are
asserted to be, it might be well doubt
ed whether so great a rebellion, ex
tending over so vast a territory, could
be put down. But, as in the great re
bellion in India, the people are of more
than one race, and the task befbre the
country, if proper use is made here,
as there, of the aid of all who are loy
al, all who are willing to contend on
our side, will be lightened by their di
visions.
The rebellion does not cover a wid
er territory, is not more barbarous and
ferocious, is not supported by strong
er prejudices of race and caste, does
not embrace a greater or more united
population, is not better supplied with
arms nor fortified by climate, and had
not at its commencement a larger
body of trained soldiers than that
which only a few years since our cous
ins of Great Britain put down, though
separated from their chief scat of
power by two continents and half the
ocean. This lies at our doors, assaila
ble along a frontier by sea and by land
of three thousand miles, everywhere
under our control.
Great Britain looked not at the col
or of the recruit; she accepted the aid
of every offered arm, and was success
ful. Courage, resolution, and wisdom
will accomplish in the West what they
hid in the East.
Our people are being slowly school
ed to arms, and the war thus far sin
gularly free from the outrage which
in other countries has attended civil
commotions, begins at length, by its
inevitable destruction of property and
life, to bear upon the territory we oc
cupy %rah a portion of the fearfol
weight necessary to crush rebellion.
The labor of the colored man sup
ports the rebel soldier, enables him to
leave his plantation to meet our arm
ies, builds his fortifications, cooks his
food, and sometimes aids him on pick
et by rare skill with the rifle.
In all these modes, it is available to
assist our army, and it is probable that
there will he less outrage, less loss of
liti3 by freeing these people, if put Un
der strict military control, than if left
to learn slowly that war has removed
the white men who have heretofore
held them in check, and to yield at
last to the temptation of insurrection
and massacre.
Had tho Government been prepared
to meet promptly, with the overwhel
ming force which the loyal States
could have supplied, the first rebel ar
mies, the rebellion might have been
enrolled without a long and desolating
war, and without disturbance of the
relations between the two races in
the South.
That time is past ; the destructiOn of
the rebel armies, and the gradual oc-
cupation of the country by fbrtifiying
and garrisoning its chicfstragetic and
commercial points, are the only con
clusion to the War.
In this work, the loyal inhabitants
of the con»try, white or black, must
be compelled to assist, and it is im
possible to cast aside the millions of re
cruits who will offer themselves for
the work, accustomed to the climate,
inured to labor, acquainted with the
country, and animated by the strong
desire not merely for political, but for
personal liberty.
Respectfully submitted,
:NI. C. MEIGS,
Quartermaster General.

A Richmond View of the Situation.
[I i cm the Ittehtneetl EN:m.lllcl of Jan. 20 ]
It is not altogether an empty boast
on the part of tho Yankees that they
hold all they have ever held, and that
another year or two of such progress
as they have already made will find
them masters of the Southern Confed
eracy. They who think independence
is to be achieved by brilliant but incon
sequential victories, would do well to
look with the natural eye at the mag
nitude of Yankee possessions in our
country. Maryland, Kentucky and
Missouri are claimed as constituent
parts of the Confederation; they are
as much in the power of Lincoln as
Maine and Minnesota. The pledge,
once deemed foolish by the South, that
he would " hold, occupy and possess "
all the forts belonging to the United
States Government, has been redeemed
almost to the letter by Lincoln. Forts
Pickens, Sumter and Morgan we still
retain, but, with these exceptions, all
the strongholds on the seaboard, from
Fortress Monroe to the Rio Grande,
are in the hands of the enemy. •
Very consoling and very easy to
say that it was impossible to prevent
all this, and that the occupation of the
outer edge of the republic amounts to
nothing. Drewry's Bluff and Vicks
burg give the lie to the first assertion,
and the onward movement of Rose
erans toward Alabama, the presence
of Grant in North Mississippi, and of
Curtis in Middle Arkansas to say noth
ing of Banks at New Orleans and Ba
ton Rouge, set at rest the silly dream
that a thin strip of sea-coast only is in
the possession of our foes. The truth
is, the Yankees are in great force in
the very, heart of the Confederacy;
they swarm on all our borders, they
threaten every important city yet be
longing to us and nearly two hundred
thousand of them are within two days'
march of the Confederate capital.—
This is no fiction. It is a fact so pos
itive that none can deny it.
Nor is this all. The'President tells
us, in his message, that the troubles
with the Indian tribes have been re
moved, and no further difficulty is an
ticipated. The intelligence we obtain
from private and trustworthy sources
does not confirm the President's san
guine assertions. The trouble with
Cherokees was, in great part, due to
the fitct that some seven or eight thous
and of them, now in arms, Lad not re
ceived a centofpayforfourteen months.
It is true that paper money has been
sent them, and ere now, it is to be
hoped, has reached its destination,—
But Indians do not like paper money.
Still it would answer for the purpose
if Gen. Albert Pike remained to dis
burse it, and to allay their prejudices
which he, of all men in the Conflidera
cy, is bust able to do. Pike, however,
has resigned, fur good reasons, doubt
less, and a person said to be not the
most competent is left in his stead.—
Under these circumstances, we shall
be fortunate, indeed, if we escape fur
ther trouble with the Indians. More
over, we get from Missouri members
and others, distressing accounts of the
condition of affairs in Arkansas.
General Hindman is very far from
being a favorite, even among his own
people, and so destitute are some of the
new levies who have volunteered to
come out of Missouri to join our armies,
that whole battalions - of them have
been seen marching barefoot through
snow three inches deep. Add to this
the fact that, so far as the public is
permitted to know, New Mexico and
Arizona are, for the time being, lost to
us, and that the state of disaffection in
Tennessee and Mississippi (growing
out of the appointment of incompetent
officers and the fancied neglect of that
country by the Confederate Govern
ment—not from any lack of fervor in
the cause), which President Davis'
visit was intended to heal, is likely to
revive under the depressing influence
of Bragg's retreat and his continuance
in command—acid all this to the fore
going, and it will be seen that the Yan
kees have much to encourage them in
the prosecution of the war, and we not
a little to excite serious apprehensions
as to the future.
The remedy for this state of things
is obvious. It lies in the extension
and rigid enforcement of that law to
which we owe our salvation. We must
bring out the conscripts and diminish
exemptions. If this is done, the chap
ter of failures in the Southwest will
come to an end. The history of the
battles in that region has been suffi
ciently uniform to justify a conclusion
which shall not be chargeable with
the vices of hasty generalizations. It
has not been so much for a want of
brains as for a want of men that we
have been compelled to lose the fruits
of some of the best fighting that has
been done in this war. At Donelson,
at Shiloh, at Perryville and at 3lur
freesboro', the story has been always
the same—victories, achieved against
great odds, snatched away by over
whelming reinforcements to the enemy.
As the past has been so will the fu
ture be, unless something is done, and
that speedily, to fill ,fu the shattered
ranks of our armies in the West. Ex
emptions must be diminished. The
system of details must be adopted.—
Young men must not be permitted to
evade their duty by slipping into safe
places. Complaisant friends must turn
a deaf ear to their entreaties. Able
bodied men must not be allowed to
stay at home on the pretext of atten
ding to twenty negroes. Here in Vir
ginia there are, in many places, con
tiguous plantations, numbering in the
aggregate hundreds of slaves without
a solitary white man to guard them.
The gentle authority ofladies has been
found amply sufficient to control the
obedient African population.
With the first opening of Spring
comes the last tremendous shock of
this war. Many of the Yankee troops
are nine months' men. More are en
listed for two years, their time expir
ing in May next. Up to that time
they will be available and we may be
sure that all the fighting that can pos
sibly be gotten out of them will be had
before they are allowed to go home.—
They outnumber us two to one There
is a limit to the endurance of the brave
men at Tullahoma, Grenada and Vicks
burg. They must be sustained,
strengthened, reinforced. If within
the next two months we do not add
seventy-five or a hundred thousand
men to our forces in the Southwest we
shall come to grief. If we do add them
we are safe beyond peradventure, and
next summer will witness the final
triumph of our arms.
Lincoln and McClellan.
The following letter was brought out
by the McDowel Court of inquiry :
WismsoToN April 9th, 1862.
To lfijo• General _McClellan.
My Dear IS'ir : Your despatches, com
plaining that you arc not properly
sustained, while they do not offend me,
pain me very much. Blenker's divi
sion was withdrawn from you before
you left here, and you knew the pres
sure under which I did,- it, and, as I
thought, acquiesced in it—certainly
not without reluctance.
After you left, I ascertained that less
than 20,000 unorganized men,
without a single field battery, were all
you designed to be left, for the defence
of Washington and Manassas Junction,
and a part of those even were to go to
Gen. Hooker's old position. General
Banks' corps, once designed for Manas
sas Junction, was divided and tied up
on the lino of Winchester and Stras
burg, and could not leave it without
exposing the Upper Potomac and the
Baltimore and Ohio road. This pre
sented, or would present, when Gens.
McDowell or Sumner should be gone,
a great temptation to the onemy to
turn back from the Rappahannock, and
sack Washington.
My explicit directions that Wash
ington should, by the judgment of all
the commanders of the corps, be left
entirely seentt, had been entirely ne
glected. It was precisely this that
drove me to detain McDowell. I do
not forget that I was satisfied with
your arrangements to leave Banks at
Manassas Junction, but when that ar
rangement was broken up, and noth
ing was substituted fbr it, of course I
was not satisfied. I was constrained
to substitute something for it myself.
And now, allow me to ask, do you
really think I should permit the line
from Richmond, via Manassas Junc
tion, to this city, to be entirely open
except what resistance could be pre
sented by less than 20,000 1 unorgan
ized troops? This is a question which
the country will not allow me to evade.
There is a curious mystery about
the number of troops now with you.
I telegraphed you on, the Gth, saying
that you had over 100,000 with you.
I had just obtained from the Secretary
of War a statement taken, as he said,
from your own returns, making 108,-
000 then 'vith you and en route to you.
You now say you will have but 85,000
when all en route to you shall have
reached you. How can this discrepan
cy of 35,000 be accounted for ?
As to General Wool's command, I
understand it is doing for you precise
ly what a like number of your own
would have to do if thatcommand was
away. I suppose the whole force
which has goneforward to you is with
you by this time, and if so, I think it
is the precise time for you to strike a
blow. By delay, the enemy will read
ily gain on you ; that is, ho will gain
faster by fortifications and reinforce
ments than you can by reinforcements
alone. And once more, let me tell
you, it is indispensable to you that
you strike a blow.
lam powerless to help this. You
will do me the justice to remember I
always wished not going down the
bay in search of a field, instead of
fighting at or near Manassas, as only
shifting and not surmounting a diffi
culty; that we would find the same en
emy and the same or equal entrench
ments at either place. The country
will not fkil to note—it is nothing now
—that the Present hesitation to move
upon an entrenched enemy is but the
story of Manassas repeated.
I beg to assure you that I have nev
er'written or spoken to you in greater
kindness of feeling than now, nor with
a fuller purpose to sustain you, so far
as in my anxious judgment I consist
ently can. But you must act.
Yours, very truly,
[Signed] A. LINCOLN.
IV HAT NOT TO SEND.-4 soldier's
letter says : • Our express boxes have
been brought from Alexandria, by our
chaplain's exertions, and our friends
sent us a little too much " eau de vie;"
consequently there was considerable
excitement in camp. Friends, don't
send whiskey, unless you wish us harm.
Don't send any to privates, I mean.—
If they get drunk they will be punish
ed, and a little Salt Point whiskey on
stomachs unused to it, produces intox
ication very easily. Send us pies to
mould, sausages to rot, apples to de
cay, catsup to run over everything in
the box, onions to scent the clothing,
pickles to be drained of vinegar which
mingles with bolognas, pies, catsup,
but don't send whiskey. Piovosts get
it; officers have to take it out when
they know it; men sometimes get it,
and there is always a row about it.--

T. SANOREE of Co. C, 53d Rogt. P. V.,
aged about 24 years, from the effects
of a wound received in the battle of
Fredericksburg.
The deceased was a son of A. 13.
Sangre° of Walker township and was
at the commencement of the war a
student at Tuscarora Academy, but
after full consideration he felt it to be
his duty, to abandon his favorite stu
dies and join the army. He enlisted
in the company comina.nded by Capt.
J. 11. Wintrode, and was appointed
orderly sergeant, the duties of which
laborious position he discharged faith
fully and well. During the campaign
on the Peninsula he fellkick of fever
and jaundice, and being sent to a hos
pital at Philadelphia be received a fur
lough to visit his friends in this vicini
ty. As soon as he was sufficiently re
covered he rejoined his regiment and
reached it just in time to participate
in the battles before Richmond. In all
the battles of the army of the Poto
mac in which hiS regiment was en
gaged he was at his post. Acting un
der a sense of duty, and not mere love
of military life, he never flinched from
either danger or hardship.
At Fredericksburg his regiment was
on the extreme right, exposed to an
enfilading fire, and he fell with the
lower bones of his right leg shattered
by a minie ball. As ho was carried
from the field another ball lodged in
his left foot.
His surgeon, at first thought his life
could be saved and amputation avoid
ed, but on his removal to Washington
his wound took an unfavorable turn,
and he soon became too much reduced
to undergo the amputation necessary
to save his life. His father visited him
soon after his removal to Washington
and remained with him till he died.
The modest, unassuming deportment
which had endeared him to his friends
at home drew around him new friends
in the army, and in the hospital dur
ing the lingering and painful sickness
preceding his death. Although very
warmly attached to his relatives and
friends he never complained of his
hard lot, except once to express his
grief, to his father, at the change of
commanders which he thought had
brought disaster upon us.
His friends in this bereavement are
not without consolation. He is taken
perhaps, from the evil that is to come.
He fell in battle—died in defence of
his country, and no soldier could de
sire a more honorable death. But
above all he was a christian, and God
in whom ho had trusted even in his
youth sustained him in the day of bat
tle, and forsook him not in the dark
valley and shadow of death.

WAsnisorox, Jan. 26, P. M.
Special Dispatch to the .N. Y. Express:
General Burnside was not requested
to resign, but insisted upon hie own
resignation, and said he would not
leave Washington until his resignation
was accepted.
The immediate cause of this peremp
tory step was a difficulty between
him (Burnside) and Hooker.
When General Burnside found he
was buried in the mud with his artil
lery, wagons, &c., a Council of War
was held—in which Burnside propos
ed to leave the artillery, and make an
infantry fight.
Gen. Burnside reasoned, that as he
was buried in the mud, so must the
enemy be, and that be could do as well
without Artillery as the enemy could.
Gen. Hooker opposed this, and said,
he would not go without the Artillery,
—whereupon the Expedition was aban
doned.
Immediately after the retrograde
movement, Gen. Burnside went to
Washington, and resigned.
