WAR NEWS.
Important Statement from Gen. Halleclc*
[Official Correspondence.]
Headquarters of the Army, )
Washington, Obt.'2B, 1862. J
Hon. E. M. StatUon, Secretary of War:
Sib : In reply to tne general interrogatories con*
t&inedin your letter of yesterday, 1 have to report:
1. 'lhat requisitions for supplier to the army under
den. McClellan are made by uis staff officers on the
chief of bureaus here; that is, for quartermasters’ sup
plies, by his.chief quartermaster on the quartermas
ter-general ; for commissary supplies, by his ohief
oominissaryon the commissary-general, <fco. .No such
requisitions have been to my knowledge made upon
the tteoretary of War, and none npon the tienerai-in
Chief.
2. On several occasions Gen. McClellan has tele*
graphed to me that his army was deficient in certain
supplies. All these telegrams were Immediately re*
lerred to the heads of bureaus with orders to report.
It was ascertained that in every instance the requi
sition had been immediately filled, except one, where
the quartermaster-general had been obliged to send
from Philadelphia certain articles of clothing, tents,
Ac., not having a full supply here. There has not
been, so far as i could ascertain, any neglect or delay
in any department ox bureau, in issuing all supplies
asked for by Gen. McClellan or by the officers of his
staff. Delays have occasionally occurred in forward
ing supplies by rail, on account of the crowded con
dition of the depots, or of a want of cars; but when
ever notified of this, agents have been sent out to re
move the difficulty. Linder me excellent superinten
dence of Gen. Haupt,i think these delays have been
less frequent and of shorter duration than is usual
with freight trains. An army of the size of that
under Gen. McClellan will Irequently be for some
days without the supplies asked on account of ne
glect in making timely requisitions and unavoidable
delays in forwarding tnem, and in distributing them
to the different brigades and regiments.
Prom all the information i can obtain I am of
opinion that the requisitions from that army have
been filled more promptly, and that the men, as a
general rule, have beon better supplied than our
armies operating in the West. Xne latter have
operated at mucu greater distances from the sources
of supply, and have had far less facilities for trans
portation. in fine, 1 believe no armies in the world,
while in campaign, have been more promptly or
better suppleh than ours.
3. boon after me battle of Antietam, Gen. Me
.Cleilan was urged to give me information of his in
tended movements, iu order that if he moved be
tween the enemy aud Washington, reinforcements
could be sent from this place. On the Ist of October,
finding that he purposed to operate from Harper’s
Perry, 1 urged nim to oross the river at once and
give battle to the enemy, pointing out to him the
disadvantages of delaying till the autumn rains had
swollen the Potomao ana iinpairei the roads. On
the 6th of October he was peremptorily ordered to
“cross the Potomac and give battle to me enemy or
drive him buuth. Your army must move now while
the roads are good.” it will be observed that three
weeks have elapsed since this order was given.
4. in my opinion there has been no such want of
supplies in the army under Gen. McClellan as to
prevent his compliance with the orders to advance
against the enemy. Had he removed to the south
side of the Potomac, ho could have reoeived his sup
plies almost as readily as by remaining inactive ou
the north.
5. On the 7th of Ootober, in a telegram in regard
to his intended movements, General McClellan slated
that it would require at least three days to supply
the first, fifth aud sixth corps, that they needed shoes
and other indispensable articles of clothing, as well
as shelter tents. JS'o complaint was made that any
requisitions had not been tilled, and it was inferred
from his language that he was only waiting for the
distribution of his supplies. On the 11th he tele
graphed that a portion of his supplies sent by rail
nad been delayed.
As already stated, agents were immediately scut
from here to investigate this complaint, aud they
reported that everything had gone forward. On the
same date (the 11th) ho spoke oi many of his horses
being broken down by luiigue. Ou the 12th he com
plained that Lhe rate of supply was only “one hun
dred and fifty horses per week for the entire army
there and in front of Washington.” I immediately
directed the quartermaster general to inquire iuto
this matter, aud report why a larger supply was not
furnished. General Meigs roportea, on the 14th, that
the average issue oi horses to General McClellan’s
army in tne field and in front of Washington for the
previous six weeks had been 1,459 per week, or 8,-
754 in all. iu addition, that large numbers of mules
had been supplied, and that the number of animals
with Geueral McClellan’s army on the Upper Poto
mac was over thirty-one thousand. He also reported
that he was then sending to that army all the horses
he could procure.
On the ibth Gen. McClellan slated, in regard to
Gen. Meigs’ report, that ho had tilled every requisi
tion for shoes and clothing : “ Gen. Meigs may nave
ordered these articles to be forwarded, but they have
not reached our deputs ; and unless greater effort to
insure prompt transmission is made by the depart
ment of which Gen. Meigs is the head, they might as
well remain in .New York or Philadelphia, so tar as
this army is concerned.” i immediately called Gen.
Meigs' attention to this apparent neglect of his de
partment. On the 25th he reported as the result of
his investigation that 48,DU0 pairs of boots and shoes
had been received by the quartermaster of Gen. Mc-
Clellan’sarmy at Harper’s Perry, Broderick, and
Hagerstown; that 20,1KK) pairs were at Harper’s
Perry depot on the 21st; that 10,000 more were on
their way, and 15,000 more ordered. Colonel lngals,
aid-de-camp and chief quartermaster to Gen. Mc-
Clellan, telegraphed on ihe 25th; “ The suffering
for want of clothing is exaggerated, 1 think, and
certainly might have been avoided by timely requi
sitions of regimental and brigade commanders. 17 On
the 24th he telegraphed to the quartermaster-general
that the clothing was not detained in cars at the
depots. “ Such complaints are groundless. The
foot is, the clothing arrives and is issued, but more
is still wanted. 1 have ordered more than would
seem necessary from any data furnished me, and I
beg to remind you that you have always very
promptly met my requisitions so far as clothing is
concerned. Our depot is not at fault. It provides
as soon as due notice is given. 1 forsee no time when
an army of over 100,001) men will not call for cloth
ing and other articles.”
In regard to Gen. McClellan's means of promptly
communicating the wants of his army to me or to
the proper bureaus of the War Department, I report
that, in addition to the ordinary mails, he has been
in hourly communication with Washington by tele
graph.
It is due to Gen. Meigs that I should submit here
with a copy of a telegram received by him from
General McClellan.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
H. W. Halleck, General-in-Chief.
UNITED STATES MILITARY TELEGRAPH.
| deceived Oct. 22—9:40 p. h.J
Prom McClellan’s Headquarters.
To Brigadier General Meigs : Your dispatch
of this date is received*. I have never intended, in
any letter or dispatch to make any accusation agaiDSt
yourself or your department for not furnishing or
forwarding clothing as rapidly as it was possible for
you so to do. I believe that everything has been
done that could be done in this respect. The idea
that I have tried to convey was that certain portions
of the command were without clothing, and the army
.'could not move until it was suppled.

Daring Exploit of Sigel’s Cavalry—Tliey
Basil into Fredericksburg* ‘
Gainesville, Va., Nov. 10, )
via Washington, Nov. 10. )
A most brilliant achievement was accomplisned
this morning by General iSigel’s body-guard, under
the command of Captain Dahlgren, of Gen. Sigel’s
staff. Por real daring, perhaps nothing which has
occurred during the present campaign cun equal it.
About ten o'clock in the morning the guard, number
ing fifty-four men, when nearly opposite Fredericks
burg, forded the Rappahannock river and entered
that place. The advent of our foroe was so sudden
that the rebels were completely taken by surprise.
They had five hundred men stationed in different
parts of the town. Before they could be collected 1
together our men engaged several bodies of the
enemy’s troops in numbers greater than their own.
On several occasions, Captain Dahlgren’s men
were completely surrounded, and all avenues of re
treat were apparently cut off; but they were not to
be conquered. They forced themselves from this em
barrassing position, with the loss of but one man
killed and another wounded. After having at least
twenty men killed and as many more wounded, the
rebels fled in great consternation. There were
thirty-four of them captured, all of whom were
brought in this evening, with the exception of six,
who were paroled.
Address of Gen* Burnside*
The following order was issued by General Bum
side, on his taking the command of the Army :
“In accordance with General Orders No. 182,
issued by the President of the United States, I
hereby assume command of the Army of the Poto
mao.
“Patriotism and the exeroise of my every energy
in the direction of this Army, aided by the full and
hearty co-operation of its "officers and men, will I
hope, under the blessing of God, insure its success.
“Having been a sharer in the privations, and a
witness of the bravery of the old Army of the Poto
mao in the Maryland Campaign, and fully identified
with them in their feeling of respect and esteem for
General McClellan, entertained through a long and
most friendly association with him, I feel that
it is not as a stranger that I assume their com
mand.
“To the Ninth Corps,-so long and intimately ao
eooiated with me, 1 need say nothing. Our histories
are identical.
“With diffidence for myself, but with a proud con
fidence in the unswerving loyalty and determination
of the gallant army now entrusted to my care, I
accept its control with the steadfast assurance that
the just cause must prevail

Movements of Uen. McClellan.
Washington, Nov. 11.
Major-Goneral McClellan and personal staff left
Warrenton at 11-o’clock to-day. On reaching War
renton Junction asalute was fired. The troops, who
had been drawn np in line, afterwards broke ranks,
when the soldiers crowded round him, and many
eagerly called for a few parting words. He said, in
response, while on the platform of the cars : “I wish
you to stand by Burnside as you have stood by me,
and all will be well. Good bye.” To this there
rose a spontaneous and enthusiastio response.
The troops were also drawn up in line at Bristow
Station and Manassas Junction, where salutes were
fired, and where McClellan was complimented with
enthusiastic cheers.
The party arrived here this afternoon just in time
-to take the 5 o’clock train of oars for Trenton ; the
■cars being detained owing to some impediment on
the traok.
Gen. McClellan was recognized by the many
soldiers quartered in that vicinity, when he. was
greeted with oft repeated oheers.
The following farewell order was read to the troops
composing the army of the Potomac, yesterday
morning,, on dress parade:
Headquarters Armt of the Potomac, )
Camp near Bectorton, Nov. 7, 1862. j
Officers and Soldiers of the Army of the Poto
mac—An order of the President devolves upon Maj.
Gen. Burnside the command of this army.
In parting from you I oannot express the love
and gratitude I bear to you as an army. You have
grown up under my care; in you 1 have never
found doubt or coldness.
The battles you have fought under mj command
will proudly live in oar nation’s history.
Xh6 glory you have achieved, our peril and £a
time, the graves of our comrades, fallen in battle
and by disease, the broken forms of those whom
wounds and sickness have disabled, are the strongest
assertions which can exist among men that we are
nnited still by an indissoluble tie. We will ever be
comrades in supporting the Constitution of our
country and the nationality of its people.
(Signed.) Geo. B. McClbllas,
Major General, U. S. A.
Baltimore, Nov. 11.
Gen. MoClellan just arrived, and passes through
to Philadelphia in the 7 o’olock (p. m.) train. He
goes through from there, by special train for Tren
ton.
PERILOUS TIMES.
In the financial sense these are indeed per
ilous times. We are in the breakers,
little or no hope of getting out of them. We
see the rocks and shoals where many a com
mnnity has suffered financial shipwreck, and
we have no certain means by which we can
avoid them. . ~
Gold is quoted at a premium of thirty-five
cents on the dollar; the plain English of
which is, that a paper dollar is worth some
thing less than sixty-five cents. This is true
of the money of all banking corporations,
and iB true-also, with a difference of only a
few pennies, of government paper. Even
our “legal tender currency” has lost about
one-third of its value.
We ask every day, and we hear others ask,
what is the cause of all this? Some answer
that the foreign demand for specie, while all
the banks refuse it in redemption of their
bills, has created the wide difference between
paper and gold. This, plainly enough, is only
partially true. The banks have no extraor
dinary amount of specie locked up in their
results, and importations are by no means so
heavy as to create an extraordinary demand.
But one thing then remains to be answered,
and that is, that the depreciation in the value
of paper is caused by an undue and unpre
cedented expansion of our currency, growing
out of government disbursements. The gov
ernment has created a new currency, millions
of dollars of which it is weekly distributing
over the country. The result is, that we have
more money than is needed for the daily busi*
ness transactions of the country. . And it
happens, unfortunately, that we realize some
other disadvantages than a mere inflation of
our curreocy, for this might lead ■to nothing
worse than high prices for articles which
money purchases. The main difficulty in the
case is, that this currency is irredeemable in
anything possessing an intrinsic value. The
government cannot redeem its notes, and the
banks cannot redeem their notes. We realize,
therefore, that paper is not money, but a mere
promise to pay ; a promise which neither the
government nor the banks can at present re
deem. W hat follows ? Why, amongst think
ing as well as unthinking men, a want of
confidence, and a disastrous depreciation in
the value of paper.
We do not look for any 6udden, terrific
crash in the business world, as the result of
this inflation of the currency. We have not
had to chronicle great speculations and undue
credits, which usually precede these terrific
crashes. We are told that there has not been
a time since 1837 when there was so little
mercantile paper afloat as at present. It
would seem, therefore, that the present dilu
tion of the currency need not involve the ruin
of really solvent men. There is no prospect,
either, of a sudden contraction of paper is
sues. The banks do not seem to be even
dreaming of a resumption of specie payments ;
and the government has loaned nothing to be
called in ; it has only paid out, and must
continue to pay out. The expansion must
thus continue until this war stops, or a new
financial system is adopted. In either case
the change will not probably be any more
sudden than that which is now going on in
another direction.
But it is this change—the change now going
on, —a change which touches the interest of
every man and woman in the community—
which startles us. Where is it to stop?—
Paper money has lost one-third of its value.
The people are losing confidence in these
promises to pay. Men are inquiring, can
the government ever redeem its notes? Of
dividend paying stocks go up. Coni
ard flour, and pork and coal, and indeed
every thing else go up, as this paper, which
wc have called money, goes down. The ques
tion is, Where are we to stop? The govern
ment keeps right on, disbursing its promises,
million upon million. It cannot stop The
banks keep on, and receive legal tender notes
of government, instead of specie. Can any
body tell us what is to be the end of the i*ace ?
Is the time really comiDg when one dollar in
guld will be worth five dollars in paper?
And if five, why not fifty *t—Providence Post.
An important arrest for counterfeiting
was made on Tuesday in Brooklyn. A man
named Geo. White, residing in Atlantic ave
nue, and doing business in Cedar street, New
York, under an assumed name, was caught by
Philadelphia officers, and plates on eight banks
found in hia possession. It is not known to
what extent he has issued his bogus bills.
Albany, N. Y., November 11.—The re
moval of Gen. McClellan creates intense ex
citement here. Senator Harris, in a morning
address to the law students at Albany Law
School, said he was grieved and indignant at
this removal, regarding it as a fatal mistake,
lie has written a letter to Gen. McClellan, sta
ting this as his opinion.

A NEW AN" S UPERIOR METHOD OF

I would announce to my pa'rons and others requiring

tho AMBER BASE iDto my practice. The advantages of
this method of mounting teetn over the motaiic base have
been fully established In tho five years in which it has been
subject to the severest tests, with the m ’St satisfactory
results.
It ia fully as stroDg and durable as either silver or gold
—more easily kept clean, more natural to the touch of the
tongue and lips, and it is firmer and more serviceable iu
the mouth, in consequence of our being able to obtain a
more perfect fit to the gum.
This work is not so expensive as gold, but a little higher
in price than silver. It will be warranted to give satisfac
tion, or be exchanged for gold or silver work as the patient
may prefer.

Compound Extract op
This preparation is particularly recommended to the
MEDICAL PROFESSION and the PUBLIC, as combiuing,
in the most convenient and efficacious form, the well
established virtues and properties of Cubebe and Copaiba.
For the speedy and effectual relief and cure of all SEXUAL
DISEASES, it may justly be considered one of the greatest
and most valuable discoveries iu the annals of medicine,
frequently effecting a cure in three or four days. In its
preparation as an extract or a paste, the usual nauseous
taste is avoided, and it is, consequently, never found to
Interfere witixthe digestion, while, from Its greater -on
centration, the dose is much reduced. It may be relied on
as the best mode for the administration of these remedies
in the large class of diseases of Doth sexes to which they
are applicable.

SOMETHING NEW!
THE PATENT STAMP-SEALING AND POST-MARK
Tbe preservation on the letter itself of the POST-MARK
and POSTAGE-STAMP, generally destroyed with the de
tached cover, baa long been deemed a matter of the first
importance. This desideratum is now triumphantly secured
by thla ingenious invention. Many obvious advantages
must arise from the general use of this envelope.
First —lncreased Safety by additional sealing; the stamp
connecting the envelope and letter securely together; and
this is never liable to be omitted, though the sticking of
the flap is frequently ueglected or imperfectly done.
Second —Security against Impertinent Intrusion; the
letter aud envelope being firmly attached by the stamps
and inclosure cannot be inspected even if the flap be clan
destinely opened.
Third —Safety against Abstraction of Valuable Inclo
sures. If the flap be left unsealed, or opened with feloni
ous intent, it will be impossible to open the letter and take
thence bank notes and drafts without so mutilating the
envelope as to insure detection.
fburth —Security for the free paymeut of the Postage;
as the stamp, when once properly placed iu this window,
cannot be removed without its destruction.
WM. N. AMER.
ly 12
Fifth —Advantage therefore to the Government; by the
effectual destruction of every stamp in its first use.
Siath —Facility to the Post Office Operations; by a uni
form location of the stamp iu the upper right band corner,
which is the most conveuieut position for the Post Office
mark.
Seventh —Verification of the Mailing; by securing on the
letter itself the legal evidence of the time and place of it
being mailed. TLls baa long been esteemed so desirable,
that many prudent persons are constrained to dispense
with the u6e of envelopes, that they may have the post
mark on the letter; and others take the precaation to pin
the envelope again on the letter lor Identification. •
Eighth —Certainty of the Date and Pluce ou the Letter,
#bich are so frequently omitted by writers in carelessness
or hurrj - .
£’inth —Ornamentation ; which, though some may think
of small importance, certainly meets the approval ot all
persons of taste.
Tenth —Cost. Notwithstanding the many and unrivalled
advantages of the “ Stamp dealing Envelopes,’’ they will
be furnished at a very small advaure upon the prices of
those not having the benefit of this patent.

THE CHEAPEST PAPER PUBLHSHHD IN
PENNSYLVANIA!
AHD
THE ONLY DEMOCRATIC PAPER PUBLISHED AT
THE SEAT OP GOVERNMENT I
FORTY-FOUR COLUMNS OF READING MATTER
EACH WEEK I
AT THE LOW PRICE OF ONE DOLLAR AND
FIFTY CENTS I
WHEN SUBSCRIBED FOR IN CLUBS OF NOT LESS
THAN TEN OOPIES TO ONE ADDRESS!
We have been compelled to raise the dab subscription
price to one dollar and and fifty cents in order to save oar*
selves from actual loss. Paper haa risen,' Including taxes,
about twenty-fire per cent., and still riling; and when we
tell onr Democratic friends, candidly, that we can no
longer afford to 6ell the Weekly Patriot ahd Union at one
dollar a year, and must add fifty cents or stop the publlca
tlon, we trust they will appreciate onr position, and, In
stead of withdrawing their subscriptions, go to work with
a will to increase oar list In every county in the State.
We have endeavored, and shall continue onr efforts, to
make the paper useful as a party organ, and weloome as
a news messenger to every family. We flatter ourselves
that it has not been without some influence In producing
the glorious revolution in the polities of the State achieved
at the late election; and if fearlessness in the discharge of
duty, fidelity- to the principles of the party, and anxious
desire to promote its interests, with some experienceanda
moderate degree of ability, can be made serviceable here*
after, the Weekly Patriot and Union will not be lees use
ful to the party or less welcome to the family circle iu the
future than it has been In the past. We confidently look
for increased encouragement in this great enterprise, and
appeal to every influential Democrat In the Stats to lend
ns his aid in running onr subscription list up to twenty or
thirty thousand. The expense to each Individual la trifling,
the benefit to the party may be great. Believing that the
Democracy of the State feel the necessity of sustaining a
fearless central organ, we make this appeal to them for as
sistance with the fullest confidence of success.
The same reasons which induce us to raise the price of
the Weekly, operate in regard to the Daily paper, the price
of which is also increased. The additional cost to each
subscriber will be but trifling; and, while we cannot per
suade ourselves that the change necessarily made will re
sult in any diminution of our daily circulation, yet, were
we certain that such would be the consequence, we would
still be compelled to make it, or suffer a ruinous loss.
Under these circumstances we must throw ourselves upon
the generosity, or, rather, the justice of the public, and
abide their verdict, whatever it may be.
The period for which many of our subscribers have paid
for their paper being on the eve of expiring, we take the
liberty of issuing this notice, reminding them of the same,
in order that they may
RENEW THEIR OLUBS.
We shall also take it as an especial favor if our present
subscribers will urge apon their neighbors the fact that
the Patriot and Union is the only Democratic paper printed
in Harrisburg, and considering the large amount of read*
ine matter, embracing ail the current news of the day, and
TELEGRAPHIODISPATCHES
from everywhere up to the moment the paper goes to press,
political, miscellaneous, general and local news market re
ports, is decidedly the
CHEAPEST NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN
THE STATE!
There la scarcely a Tillage or town In the Btate in which
a club cannot be raised if the proper exertion be made, and
surely there are few places in which one or more energetlo
men cannot be found who are in favor of the dissemination
of sound Democratic doctrines, who wonld be willing to
make the effort to raise a clnb.
