of as masterpieces of military criti MM It is
a melancholy satisfaction to learu that the
President of the United States, who is the
Commander-iu-Chief of all its armies, and who
is responsible, before God and the country,
for the behavior of all its Generals, did not
keep Gen. McClellan in command of the Army
of the Potomac from any confidence in his ca
pacity pr his fitness for the place. Why he
did retain him so long after he had satisfied
himself that he ought to be removed, it might
be curious, though it would be useless to spec
ulate. We trust that the first act of Con
gress, when it meets next mouth, will be to
call for ull the correspondence, and all the
documents of every kind, which can throw
light upon the extraordinary campaigns of
this unfortunate commander.
Gen. Burnside has been three limes offered
the command of the Army of the Potomac.
He declined it twice, partly from a strong
feeling of personal affection tor Gen McClel
lan, and partly from thorough confidence in
his military capacity, and his devotion to the
Union cause. This confidence, we suspect,
was somewhat shaken duriug and after the
battle of Antietam ; while the trcatmeut he
has since received for having remonstrated
against the General's causeless suspension of
the fight, has probably released him from the
personal obligations on which he was previous
ly inclined to lay such controlling stress. We
presume, therefore, that he will now accept
the command. He has shown thus far during
the war great military ability, aud a thorough,
unqualified, unquestioning devotion to the
cause he serves. What he will be able to ac
complish remains to be seen. It is now cer
tain that, in consequence of the extraordinary
delay in the movements of our army, the rebels
have completely eluded them, aud arc now be
yond their reach. The autumnal rains have
commenced ; the rivers and small streams of
Virginia are no longer fordable ; the reads
are becoming muddy and impracticable ; and
all rapid and effective movement is nearly im
possible. If it was any part of Gen. McClel
lan's purpose to prevent a decisive battle with
the rebel army, he was probably left in com
mand just long enough to accomplish his ob
ject.
CONGRESS.—On next Monday two weeks
the third session of the Thirty-seventh Con
gress will commence in the Capitol. We note
the indications in almost every sphere of life.
The President is employed day and night in
the preparation of his important aud anxious
ly looked for message. Cabinet ministers,
with their clerks, in addition to current duties,
devote many hours to their annual reports. —
Our citizeus, too, are keenly alive to the im
portance of the occasion. The corporation is
looking forward for aid from Congress in
making many improvements, some of which
are really indispensable. Merchants are lay
ing in large stocks of everything needful lor
the " inner man." Tradesmen display their
varieties and avowed determination to compete
nobly with other cities in icasouable prices.—
Hotels have been enlarged and renovated ;
private boarding-honses are making ample ar
rangements for similar accommodations, and
in this respect many of our experienced lady
proprietors cannot be excelled ; whilst those
who have " furnished rooms to let " vie with
each other in extending the greatest facilities.
We now have promise of a gay season, ar
rangements being iu progress for the perma
nent residence of a number of senators, mem
bers of the House, and other distinguished
gcntlemeu with their families, who were not
present during the previous winter of the scs

THE SECRETARY or THE TREASURY AND THE
BANKS. —The Washington correspondent of
the New York Evening Post, writing under
date of the 12th inst., says that the idea has
got abroad that Mr. Chase intends to make
war upon the banks. Nothing could be far
ther from the truth, lie is in intimate rela
tion with a large number of the banks,and these
institution are aiding the government in many
ways. Mr Chase is so managing the affurs
of his department as to enable him to cease
issuing paper currency at an early date, if
this shall be possible, lie is now getting
clear of his remainders. When the seven
thirties now put up are sold, the only remain
ing original stock will he the five-twenty-six
per cents. This is to lie made the great pop
ular Government Loau. It is believed that
Mr. Chase will not a.-k for authority to issue
any more seven thirties, or twenty year six
per cents. Under these circumstances the
few millions of seven-thirties soou to be sold
will command current rates. It is all of tliis
kind of stock the public will get from the
Treasury Department.
The revenue of thegovernment during 1563,
it is expected, will be not far from $270,000.-
000—5200,000,000 from taxes, $(30,01)0,000
from duties, and $10,000,090 from postollice
revenues. It is said that Mr. Chase does not
estimate the revenues from taxes higher than
$150,000,000, but nearly al l the financial men
connected with the department put it at or
about $200,000,000.
The national debt, with an income of $270,-
000,000, will not one year front now, be one
thousand millious, and some a bio financiers
put the figures as low as eight hundreu mil
lioas. It will not cost more to support an
army of one million in 1863, than it did to
support any army of 600,000 in 1562, for the
reason that the most of the muskets and cloth
ing aud munitions of war and vessels ure pro
vided.
DEATH OP- AN OFFICER. —Major General
RICHARDSON died at Sharpsburg, Maryland,
on Monday week from wounds received at the
battle of Antietam while commanding a di
vision in the corps of General Sumner. The
deceased was a native of Vermont, lie was
educated at West Point, and served nearly
twenty years in the army of the United States,
which he left with the rank of major a short
time ago. During the Mexicau war be dis
tinguished himself in nearly every important
battle, and perhaps received more brevets than
any other officer of his rank.
THE SURRENDER OF HARPER'S FERRY.—A
military commission, consisting of Gen.'s Hun
ter, Cadwalader, Augur, Major Piatt, Capt.
Ball, and Col. Holt, Judge Advocate General,
has been in session for some time iu Washing
ton, investigating the couduct of certain offi
cers connected with and the circumstances at
tending the disgraceful surrender of Harper's
lerry. They recently made a report which is
published at length on our first page. They
eensure Col. Miles, and Col. Ford, who were

Thursday Morning, November 20,1862,
THE NEXT CONGRES S.
On Monday next, two weeks, the third ses
sion of the XXXVIIth Congress will eonveDe
at the Capitol. A good deal of speculation
is going on in regard- to the political complex
ion of that body. From raliable data we sum
up the result in the States which have elected
Members, as follows : Administration, 75 ;
Opposition, 69 ; Doubtful, 7. Elections are
yet to be held in New Ilampshier, Vermont,
Rhode Islaud, Connecticut, Maryland, West
ern Virginia and Kentucky. The first five
elect 12 members, and we are sure the ma
jority will be Administration. As for Ma
ryland and West Virginia, they, too, will do
the same. Kentucky will be about evenly
divided. Thus it will be seen that the Ad
ministration, after all the froth and foam of
its enemies will have a working majority iu
the new Congress. The complexion of the
Senate will be Administration, 38 ; Opposi
tion, 10.
THE DRAFTED MEN—A DIFFICULTY SET
TLED.—There lias been dissatisfaction among
the drafted men of this State, almost amount
ing to mutiny, because the Government had
determined to assign them to duty iu the old
regiments, and not allow them to choose their
officers. This difficulty is now, fortunately,
removed, the Federal authorities haviug yield
ed to the earnest appeals of the men. The
drafted militia are to be allowed to select
their own field and company officers, and the
officers heretofore appointed to convey them
to the old regiments ure relieved from duty.
The effect of this order has beeu excellent in
the camps of the drafted men. especially in
Camp Curtin, at Harrisburg, where the great
est excitement has prevailed in reference to
the subject. Legal proceedings had com
menced there to test the right of the officers
to take men away from the place of rendez
vous, but these will now be abaudoned. It is
to be hoped that now, this difficulty being re
moved, there will be measures taken for the
rapid and efficient organization of the drafted
men.
Tnn HIGH PRICE OF PAPER.—The price of
paper has risen very fast and very high with
iu a short time past, and is reaching a figure
that will revolutionize the prices of newspa
pers, periodicals and books throughout the
couutry. Already newspaper publishers, in
various parts of the country, are putting up
the prices of their journals, and soon all the
papers in the country must advance in price.
Publishers will be compelled to do this to sus
tain themselves. The price of paper, which
has already advaueed about 50 per cent., must
continue to advance while the war lasts, un
less some other material than cotton be dis
covered from which to make it. Publishers
having the necessary capital are baying up
large quantities of paper and thus adding an
other reason why the article will soon be much
higher than at present. Weekly papers )hat
have been and are now published at $1 50
per annum, will soou be advanced to two dol
lars, and papers at other prices ia the same
proportion.
DEATH OF HAXXIBAL HAMLIN. —Mr. HAM
LIN, President of the National Freedmun's
Relief Association of Washington, D. C , died
in that city on Friday evening last. For seve
ral months be has devoted much time to the
benevoleut work of the Association over which
he was President, and bis recent assiduous la
bors at Fortress Mouroe in behalf of the eman
cipated blacks at that post brought on the ill
ncss which resulted in his death. He was a
cousin of the Vice-President, aud during the
last year had been a clerk iu the Treasury De
partment.
THE RETURN OF GEN. CAMERON. —The Hon.
SIMON CAMERON, Miuister to Russia, returned
on Saturday from St. Petersburg, having re
ceived a short furlough. He has not resigned
his position as yet, but will leave for Wash
ington on Monday to consult with the Admin
istration. He reports the frieudly feeling of
the Russian Government to be as steadfast as
ever. The other European Government are
still considering the question of intervention.
Mr. Cameron states that three immense irou
clad steam rams are being constructed in
Englaud, with which it is supposed an attack
will be made npou our Northern cities.
JteaST News was received by the Navy De
partment on Saturday from the Gulf, to the
effect that the United States gunboat Saga
more captured the Euglish schooner Trier,
from Nassau, with a cargo of 100 bags of salt
and miscellaneous articles, on the 2Sih ult.—
On the 23d ult. the same gunboat captured
the English schooner Francis, from Nassau,
with salt, powder, and gin. The schooner
Rachel Seaman, on the 6th ult., captured, off
Sabine Pass, the English schooner Dart. The

SUMMARY OF NEWS.
From the headquarters of the Army of the
Potomac we learu that a rebel brigade, which
has for several days been reconnoitering in
position on the Rappahauuock, left the vicin
ity on Friday morning for Culpepper, barras
sed on their retreat by Gen. Plcasantoo's cav
alry. There are indications that the rebels
intend to evacuate Culpepper, probably with
a view to concentrate at Gordonsville. The
reports as to the whereabouts of JACKSON and
his command are contradictory. At head
quarters he is reported to be still hovering
about Chester Gap, with not more tkau forty
thousand meu uuder bis command, while at
Harper's Ferry it is believed that be is ap
proaching that point—our scouts reporting
that he has passed through Winchester in that
direction on Monday, followed by Gen. Ilill
ou Tuesday. In either contingency our offi
cers are believed to be fully prepared.
Two members of Gen. McClellan's staff—
Lieutenant-Cols. A. P. Colburn and J. C
Duane, of the Engineer Corps—were on Fri
day morning sent to Washington, from Tien
ton, under au arrest. A report prevailed iu
Trenton that other members of the Staff were
to be arrested, but no further arrests have
yet been made. No explanation is given of
the cause of the arrest, but insubordinate lau
guage is probably at the bottom of it.
The Evening Pod has the best authority
for stating that Geu. Cass, in a communica
tion to the President, lie expressed the fullest
approval of the removal of Geo. McClellau
from the command of our army in Virgiuia.
The Memphis Bulletin, of November Bth,
states that en evacuating Holly Springs, the
rebel army went iu differeut directions. Some
are back of Hatchie, some have gone to Jack
son, and others to Meridian.
Gen Bragg, iu his official report to the
Confederate Government, says that but 1,-
500 Kentnekians joined hitn in Instate raid
into that State ; that the people hesitated to
take Confederate scrip, and that he was charg
ed three prices for supplies.
The expedition against Texas, according to
the Washington correspondent of the Phila
delphia North American, is rapidly progressing
—five additional vessels havi ig been charter
ed on Nov. 13, and by the 25th of the [ires
ent month it is expected that the fieet will be
under way for its destination.
General McClernand is now at Columbus,
Ky., organizing his expeditionary force. The
following Indiana regiments have either ar
rived at or are on their way to join General
McCieruand's " Castof- Oil Expedition" to
open the Mississippi : Eighty third, Ninety
third, Ninety-seventh, Niuety-niuth and One
huudreth. The Fifty fourth, Col. Mansfield,
and the Sixty-third, Col. Williams, will leave
in a day or two for Columbus, and will also
form a part of the same expeditionary force.
COMMANDER OF THE PENNSYLVANIA MILITIA.
—lt is said that General E. 11. S. CANBY lias
been ordered to take command of the drafted
militia of this State. General CANBY has
just completed a creditable campaign in New
M exieo, and no doubt the men will be pleased
to hear that they afe to he placed under so
accomplished a leader. General CANBY was
born in Kentucky, and appointed a cadet from
Indiana in 1835. He graduated on the 30ih
of June, 1839, and on the first of Juiy of the
same year was appointed a Second Lieuteuaut
in the Second Infantry. He was promoted in
1846. Haviog displayed staff qualities of the
highest order, he was chosen as regimental
Adjutant. In 1847 he was appointed Assis
tant Adjutant General in the regular staff of
the army. For gallant and meritorious con
duct in tiie battles of Contreras and Cht ru
busco, Mexico, he was brcvetted Major. The
same year he was brcvetted Lieutenant-Colo
nel for gallaut conduct at He Helen Gate,
Mexico. When the Tenth Regiment United
States Light Infantry was organized, in March,
1855, he was selected a 3 one of the Majors,
una again when the additional regiments were
raised, in 1861, he was appointed Colonel of
the Nineteenth United States Infantry. llis
present commission as Brigadier Geueral of
volunteers is dated the 3lst of March, 1862.
J&af We have dates from New Orleaus to
the 4th inst., furnishing details of the expe
dition uuder command of Gen. Weitzel. Our
forces encountered the enemy in considerable
strength at a place called Labadieville, and
defeated them after a brisk fight, aud a bril
liant display of generalship on the part of
Gen. Weitzel. Two hundred of the enemy
were killed, wounded and taken prisoners, aud
one piece of artillery was captured. The
Rebels were pursued iu the direction of Ber
wick's Bay, where Gov. Moore was supposed
to be. Gen. Butler had paid a visit of cour
tesy to the French war steamer Catinet, and
the usual interchange of civilities took place
on the occasion.
IST* From Gen. Bnruside's army we learn
that on Friday morning, while the 2d Division
of the 9th Corps, under Gen. Sturgis, were
passing from Sulphur Springs to Fayetteville,
at a point about four miles from tbe latter
place, a Rebel battery opened upon the col
umn from an elevation on tbe opposite bauk
of the river. The attack was sudden and
rapid firing ensued from a 20 pound gun aud
several of lighter caliber. Capt. Durck's Penn
sylvania battery, which was passing at the
lime, was placed in position, and replied to
the Rebels. The artillery dnel lasted for more
than two honrs, when the Rebels withdrew,
and the column continued its march to Fay
etteville.
Attention of our readers is directed
to an advertisement of a Public Sale of a lew
carriages iu an other column.
Sermon on Education.
To the Reverend Clergy of the State :
GENTLEMEN :• The Educational State Con
vention, which was in sessiou in Harrisburg
last August, un&uimously adopted a resolu
tion, " That ministers of the Gospel through
out the State be requested to preach, on the
first Sunday in December, 1862, a sermou on
popular education."
As the Convention adopted no means to
make its wishes on the subject known to you,
other than the publication of the minutes of
its proceedings, I have taken the liberty, iu
this manner, to invite your attention to it.
At all times the due traiuing ot the young
is of great importance, and the relatiou to it
of the Christian ministers is plain and inti
mate. In the present unhappy juncture of
our national affairs, regarding the future thro'
the uncertain light of the present, this impor
tance is vastly increased, and the relations of
your body to it seems to become iu the same
proportion uearer.
The wishes of the Convention are therefore
cordially comrneuded to your favorable con
sideration, with the hope that you will simul
taneously add your prayers to the Father of
Light mat He will at this time especially bless
the cause of general education, and so guide
the efforts of all entrusted with its care, that
the youths of the laud may become Christian
citizens of a united and prosperous Republic.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
THOMAS H. BURROWS,

ISSr The steamship Europa arrived at Hali
fax on Thursday night, with advices from Eu
rope two days later than those previously re
reived. A vessel which had arrived at Ant
werp reported that she had been spoken by a
rebel privateer off Cape Sable. This is likely
to have been the Alabama, which a recent let
ter says was seen by the steamship City of
Washington ou her outward trip. The Eng
lish papers have but little to say on Ameri
can affairs. The Times credits the North for
its energy iu the construction of a navy, but
questions its effectiveness for regular naval
warfare. The gunboat Tuscarora arrived at
Lisb u on the 25th ult , from the Azores
Elections were to be held in Greece on the
10th inst. It is said that an understanding
has been arrived at between France, England
and Russia, by which Grecian affairs will be
deprived of their importance for Europe. This
amounts to the adoption of the principle of
non-intervention. From China we learn that
a British gunboat had seized all the manda
rins and war junks and Custom-house officials
at Tun Kan, and had also released all the teas
detained there for the increased transit duty
From South America we learn of the death of
President LOPEZ, of Paraguay. llis son pro

JfeD"' Gen. Burnside has i s ud a general or
der dividing the army under his command in
to three grand divisions, named respectively
the Right, Left and Center Grand Divisions.
The first, consisting of the Second and Ninth
Corps, will be commanded by Gen. Sumner ;
the second, consisting if the First and Sixth
Corps, will be commanded by Gen. Franklin,
and the third, consisting of the Third and
Fifth Corps, will be commanded by Geu.

IRON CI.AU SHIPS. —The Navy Department
is advertising for proposals for the construc
tion of one or tnore iron iron clad sea steam
ers, of about 1.300 tons, with masts andspars
of iron, wire rigging and iron boats. This is
something stupendous as well as novel. The
ship is to be larger than anything afloat, ex
cept the Great Eastern, and is to be wholly
constructed of iron. This will make her as
nearly indestructible by fire as auy vessel can
be.
The medical director of the army at
Fortress Monroe states that he has sent North
9,620 wounded men, being unabla to accom
modate them. On the first of September, 10,-
448 patients were reported at Fortress Mon
roe and Craney Island. Of these, 5,645 have
been returned to doty, 321 were discharged,
and 199 died in September. All the patients
have been removed from Craney Island, and
the hospital closed.
DEATH OF JUDGE PORTER. —Hon. Jame s
Porter died at his residence in Easton, Pa.,
on the 11th iust., in the 10th year of his
age.
Judge Porter was a man possessing taients
of high order, and has filled many prominent
positions in the country. He was one of tbe
framers of the present Constitution of Penn

22d judicial district of this State, in all of
which positions he discharged the duties de
volved upou him with ability and fidelity.
THE TAX STAMPS ON CHECKS AND DRAFTS.—

It is of interest to every business man, aud is
as follows ;

WASHINGTON, October 23,156 Z. J
I woold say, that when a maker of a check,
draft, note or any other document, shall neg
lect to pot on the required stamp, it wilf not
do for the party receiving the same to affix
the stamp and cancel it, but it must be return
ed to the maker for him to do it.

ARMY VOTE.—A. J. WelFman, laieut. Col.
of the 85th New York Volunteers, writes to
the New Yoik Tribune, that on the 4th just.,
a vote of iits regiaient was taken, wiiicb result
ed in 462 votes for Wudsworth, the Repabli
can candidate for Governor, ai d only 47 for
Seymour, Democrat. Thi?, we imagine, would
be the general ratio if the sense of the whole
army were tukeu.
The New York Assembly is pretty
certainly Union. Instead of Luther S. Dutch
er, Detn , in the Ist District of Dutchess coun
ty, John B Dutcher, Union, is .elected. This
makes the figures 65 Union to 63 Democrats
—and at least one of the latter will probably
vote with the Unionists on organization.

distinguish them from regular shot and shell,
and as tbey heard them approaching they
would cry " Turkey, turkey coming I" and
