Thursday Morning, November 27,1862.
SUMMARY OF NEWS.
We have Richmond papers to the 18th inst.
They are stiil grumbling over the delay of
foreign recognition. The approach of Burn
side's advance to Fredericksburg is chronicled
at length, and a victory for the Rebels is, of
course, made out. There was " a brisk en
gagement,''' and "the enemy were driven back
with a loss of several killed," etc. But, at the
same time, the frightened Rebels burnt all the
cotton in Fredericksburg, and tumbled all the
tobacco into the river. Great stories are told
of what Amazonian deeds the women of Fred
ericksburg performed. Gen. Gustavus W.
Smith is Acting Secretary of War, Gen. Ran
dolph having resigned.
An expedition of two regiments of infantry,
which has been scouring the country between
Nashville and Clarksville during the past four
or five days, captured 43 Rebels, 18 horses,
20 mules, and 100 muskets. A scout, arrived
from Knoxville on the 13th, says there were
no troops at Knoxville, excepting sick and
convalescent. At MeMinnville there was con
siderable force of conscripts from adjoining
counties. At Sparta there was a small force.
He saw no more until he got to Kingston,
where there were a few soldiers. No Rebel
troops at Lebanon Cross, nor throughout the
entire route. The enemy still evh.ee a dispo
sition to fight near Tullnhoma.
On the 19th, Gen. Saxton sent a reeonnoi
sarice from Harper's Ferry toward Charles
town. He encountered 400 Rebels above
Ilalltown and drove them through Charles
towu, shtlliug them at every opportunity.—
Several houses iti Chariestowu were fired by
onr shells and one or two Rebels were killed.
The Rebels made a slight demonstration ou
our outposts near Falling Waters, on the Vir
ginia side of the river.
Dispatches say that the Rebels stiil occupy
Fredericksburg with a small force, to dispute
the crossing of the river. Some guns were on
Thursday brought to bear upon two ravines
en the opposite side of the river, through which
the railroad passes. The result is that no
trains have attempted to run since.
A dispatch froru Louisville says that Col.
J. Dils, jr., on November 10, writes that he
has rooted the R bels out of Kistern Ken
tacky, captured 80 prisoners, and a large lot
of tents, guns, wagons, horses, and mules, near
Piketon. The main body of tho Rebels es
caped tuiough Pound Gap.
In his Message, which is nearly finished,
Air. Lincoln will argue his L nancipition poli
cy at length, not only in regard to the iniii
tary Proclamation of Emancipation in the dis
loyal States, but in icgr.rd to his gradual
Emancipation policy iu the Border Slave
States.
Gov. Curtin offers SSOO reward for the cap
ture of a deserter uaned Henry Rowland, of
the 13 v.h Regiment, win shot his Lieutenant,
Josiah Baughuian, while I lie Lieutenant was
endeavoring to arrest him for desertion.
££?*• Quite a sensation was produced in cur
borough ou Wednesday last, by the arrest of
Johu McCollum of this place, on the charge
of counterfeiting Lycoming County Orders,
to the amount of s(i,o')o. ft appears that Me
Col lum went to a Printing Oiiiue in Philadel
phia, represented himself as au agent ot the
Commissioners of this County, and ordered
fae similes of the 25 cent orders lately issued
by the board, to the amount above named.—
The pi inter, however, suspecting all was not
right, immediately wrote to the Commission
ers, informing them of McCollum's proceed
ings, and notifying then that they might seize
the blanks, which were on the Express train
of that day, ii anything should be wrong.—
McColluiu was arrested and taken before Jus
tice Repass for a hearing, and the evidence
above alluded to, together with the blanks
which had been secured by the Commissioners,
being submitted, lie was committed to jail to
await ti.e action of the authorities of Phila
delphia, where the offence was committed.—
Au officer from Philadelphia, arrived in the
train Thursday evening, and proceeded to
Philadelphia yesterday morning with MeCul
luin in custody. For the sake of his estima
ble family, wo could hope that McCollum
might be able to acquit himself of any guilt
iu this transaction. Lis only defence was,
that he ordered these blanks to wrap around
his pills, iu the manufacture of which he was
engaged. The blanks were an exact imitation
of the genuine l l'csl Branch Bulletin.

A Baltimore paper has a rumor that
Jack-on—with the inevitable 4 0,000 men—is
near Winchester ; others had it on Saturday
that he was marching on Washington with
40,000 men ; and again he was retreating
with 40,000 rucn. "The King of France,
with twenty thousand nieu, marched up the
hill, aud then—marched down again," of
course v.ith twenty thousand men, which just
makes up Übiquitous Stonewall's stereotyped
forty thousand—in buckram.
Passenger statistics show that within
nine months 17,000 persons have arrived by
sen at San Francisco in excess of departure.
They, in addition to a large number of over
land emigrants, make the increase of popula
tion more this year than since 1852. The
overland emigration to. Oregon and Washoe
, , .this year, w ill amoun tto about 5,000. The
tear of emigration, some 500 wagons, was ex
V. pected at Waiia-Waila oa the 15th of October.
Hon. Joseph Holt on the War.
This distinguished and patriotic gentleman
was invited previous to the New \ork elec
tion, to address a Union meeting iu New York,
lie wrote a letter in reply to the invitation,
which, like all his other writings and speeches
since the rebellion, breathes the right spirit.
The letter has been published since the elec
tion, with his consent, and we take a few para
graphs from it, and commend them to the pe
rusal of tho s e dainty gentlemen who talk about
the rights of the rebels under the Constitu
tion :
FOR AI.L THINGS THAT ARE FOR TITF. UNION*.
My faith in all this matter is simple and
briefly stated. It is this For nil things
that are for the Union —against, all things that
are against it. lam for the Union as uncoil
ditionally as I am for protecting my own body,
at every cost and hazard, from tlie knife ol
the assassin. No human institution, no earth
ly interest, shall ever by me be weighed in
the scales against the life of my country. —
Least of all, will I approach with unsandled
feet, or permit to be thus weighed, an institu
tion, the feeding fountain of whose being—the
African slave trade—the laws of my country
have for more than forty years denounced as
a crime worthy ot death—a crime not against
any particular code, or anv particular form of
civilization, but a crime against the very race
to which we belong, lloslis humini generis,
is the designation which the Christian legisla
tion of the United States has given to the Af
ricon slave trader.
I vield to no man in veneration for the Con
stitution, or in determination that its blessings
shall be ex'euded to those who respect and
obey it. The door to all these blessings is
widelv open to the Southern p'-ople, and they
are earnestly invoked by the President to cu
ter in aud enjoy them.
INTEREST OF THE SOUTH IN ITS OWN HANDS.
These institutions and their every interest
are in their own hand-, and can be saved not
otdy from ruin but from tbe slightest injury,
by the- utterance of a single word—a word ot
duty and ot honor. But, if in their passionate
pursuit of separate empire, and in their blind
resentments against brethren who have never
wronged them, they refuse to speak that word,
and prefer to perish themselves, rather than
that the loyal States shall escape destruction
—tie it so." The world shall judge aright, and
history will record its judgment. But, is it
not childish prattle to say that the South can
claim to be at tha same moment the protege
and the destroyer of the Constitution ?
SATANIC AUDACITY OF THE REBELLION.
Does it not require an audacity absolutely
satanic, to insist that the beneficial provisions
of that hallowed instrument shall be secured
to States ami people who are 1 ourlr spurning
and spitting upon its authority, and who are
leading forwar . vast armies to overwhelm it,
and with it the homes and hopes ol all who
are rallying in its defence ? \V ar—certainly
one like this, in self-delence —is clearly consti
tntiomil ; but, if such a war litis its restraints,
it has also its rights and duties ; prominent
among which is the right and duty of weaken
itig the enemy bv all pos-iule means, and tiiu
abiidging the sanguinary conflict. Never un
til now hi- it entereiTinto the imagination of
men to conceive that among these duties is
that ot seeing that the enemy is clothed aud
fed and armed before he is struck.
THE CONSTITUTION A CHARTER OF NATIONAL LIFE.
In prosecuting the war, while exercising our
right to weaken the enemy, we may destroy
not on!'.* ships upon tiie sea, aud fortresses and
cities upon the land, but human life upon the
battle field But what institution, what ma
terial interest is mure hallowed than human
life, and what material interest, isthere belong
ing to the enemy that we are obliged to sp ire,
cvt n though by so doing we perish ourselves?
Trie Constitution is a charter of National life,
and not of National death. All movements
which r-ci k or tend to the dissolution of the
Government created by it, end of which it is
the soul, arc in conflict with its spirit and with
the scope and cud of its enac'nients, and may
be resisted to the death by its express or im
plied authority. Neither the keenest vision
nor the most delicate ear can detect i.. any
line or letter of that glorious charter the faint
est throb of sympathy with treason or traitors.
ILLINOIS COTTON AND TOBACCO.—This year
lias demonstrated beyond doubt or question
that the prairies of Illinois are completely
adapted to the cotton plant aud that the cli
mate of illiuois presents no obstacle to its suc
cessful cultivation. Large fields were planted
to cotton in April a d May last, and they
were sufficiently matured before the frost came,
to be gathered, yielding au average of 800
pounds per acre. Samples before us show
that the staple is of a superior quality, fn'.iy
equal to the best " upland " that is grown in
the most favored cotton districts. Satisfied
with the success of this year's planting, com
panies of gentlemen interested in developing
the material prosperity of the State, and indi
vidual farmers, are making preparations to
commence the cultivation of cotton ou a gia at
ly enlarged scale next season. The question
of cotton cultivation in Illinois as a new source
of wealth, is considered as settled. Estimates
by the Iocs! papers give 20,000 bales as the
yield of tiie State this year.
The crop of tobacco in Illinois is nnprece
dentedly large. As much as 2,500 lihds will
be shipped from Carboudule, a station on the
Illinois Central Railroad ; aud Southern Illi
nois will send as much tobacco and hemp to
market us the whole State of Kentucky. The
millions of bushels of grain which the West
exports furuis-i almost the sole medium of ex
change for the staples and manufactures of
the old world, and until our political troubles
are settled this must continue to be the case.
TAXATION IN DIXIE.—The new revenue bill
before the rebel Congress privides for the
levying on the first of January next, a tax of
one-fifth the value of the products of the land
for the preceding year, one-filth the value of
the increase of horses, asses, cattle, sheep and
swine ; one filth the products made in feeding
the sume ; and one-fifth the yearly income ol
each person. The rebels will pay dearly for
their whistle.
A general order was issued on Satur
day to dicharge from arrest all persons now
in military custody, who have been arrested
for discouraging volunteer enlistments, oppo
sing the draft, or for otherwise giving aid and
comfort to the enemy, in States where the
draft has been made, or the quota of volun
teers and militia has-been furnished The
same order says that persons who, by authori
ty of the Military Commander or Governor in
Rebel Steles, have been arrested and sent
from such States for disloyalty or hostility to
the Government of the United States, and are
now in military custody, may also be discharg
ed upon giving their parole to do no act of hos
tility against the Government of the United
States, nor render aid to its enemies. Such
persons may be sent out of the loyal State on
condition of not returning again during the
war. The order does not discharge any per
son who has been in arms against the Govern
ment, or by force and arms has resisted or at
tempted to resist the draft, nor relieve any
person from liability to trial and punishment
by civil tribunals, or by court-martials or mil
itary commissions, who may be amenable to
such tribunals for off.-uses committed.
ggr Our dispatch of Saturday says : Last
night wa a busy time in Fredericksburg, re
moving the inhabitants. The military au
thorities also were not idle, as daylight this
morning revealed to view a long line of earth
works to the right and rear of the town. The
artillery is now being placed in the most fa
vorable positions, while the encampments which
arc in range ol the enemy's gutis are being re
moved further back from the river. Owing
to some mi-understanding, a train leaving
Fredericksburg with women and children on
board was fired into, but fortunately none of
them were hurt. The citizens of Fredericks
burg are fast leaving the place.
A STRANGE RUMOR. —A special dispatch to
the Chicago Timrs, announces the following
startling fact :
A strange rumor has currency here, to wit:
that J> If Davis and Lis Cabinet seriously con
template the emancipation of all the slaves
before the first of January, to anticipate .Pres
ident Lincoln's proclamation and secure reeog
uition trom foreign powers, which is promised
when the extraordinary action is had It is
further said that the slaves thus freed will ins
mediately be pressed into the military seiviee
as the consideration for their freedom. The
report has considerable circulation in Ken
tucky.
It would be a bright idea on the part of
Jeff. IVivisand his followers to the in
sti'ution for the protection of which (professed
ly) they went into the war. Have they become
convinc d that the Union cannot exist perma
nently " half slave and half free and that
as slavery lia> been the pretext for the rebel
lion, that it? abolition will remove the cause
of the war and enable the north and the south
agaiu to iivo in peace.
The War Department has commenced,
the publication of the names of dismissed offi
cers for, among other causes, being absent
without leave, intoxication, disrespectful lan
guage toward the President and commanding
office rs, cowardice, etc. The first printed list
couipri.-es 81 captains and lieutenants.
General A. E. Burnside.
The army conesponcient of the New 5 crk
'l'ivif.s says :
" It is no secret it-re that to the General
on whose shoulders is thrust the heavy burden
of the conduct of the army in this crisis, the
great responsibility conies most undesircd.—
Cherishing a high respect for General Met'h i
ian's strategic, mathematical and engineering
talent, aud bound to him by the ties of a long
personal affection, General Burnside shrinks
from superseding a man who, while u friend,
he a'so unfc iguedly regards as his superior in
ability. Congratulated on ids elevation be
au acquaintance ye sterday at the hotel, Burn
side firmly replied, " That,sir, is the last thing
on which I wish to be congratulated.'' When
on Friday at midnight, the order assigning
hiin to the command was brought Irom \Y a-h
--iiigton lie was deeply moved, aud, going over
immediately to General McCleiiau's headquar
ters, they sat up together in consultation dur
ing the whole night. Ties morning early I
saw h in walking up and clown the balcony of
the hotel which lie makes his hea 'quarters, in
an absorbed distraught condition, seemingly
overwhelmed by the weight of responsibility
testing upon him.
I have faith to believe, however, that this
shrinking arises from no organic weakness, but
is rather a proof of a high aud noble nature. —
Burnside is a man iu whom the moral quali
ties are peculiarly developed. A profound
sense of duty, and an intense solicitude touch
ihg what is committed to his charge, constant
ly possesses him. He is, however, I think of
a temper to whom great trusts Till presently
bring a sense of confidence and of power.—
Beautiful aud noble in person, the ideal sol
dier in make and mien, amiable, affectionate,
yet capable of being terrible in auger, it is im
possible to be brought iu contact with him in
any relation, without entertaining for him a
feeling of personal respect and love. The men
iu his own corps adore him, and the senti
meuts will I e found contagion throughou tie
whole army. His talent for organization is
genuine and ola high order—the perfectly
developed practical American business mind.
As a soldier, he is the man who has never yet
failed iu any enterprise lie has undertaken.—
Plucky, persevering—a steady white heat of
eti'-rgy —he is the man of all men to put things
through. He is probably strongest, too, pre
cisely ut that point where MeClellau is weak
est—iu the temperament that follows up aud
the talent that turns success into victory.—
Measured in the order of pure intellect, Burn
side has no claims to first rank. Hi? faculties
are of a practical, organizing kind, such as tiie
soldier wants. He is a first rate second rate
man. But, all iu all, I register my conviction
that there has, during the war, arisen no man
so well fitted, in every respect, to fill the posi
tion now intrusted to him.
Those who commend Humphrey Marshall's
talents so extravagantly, don't properly distin
guish between taleut aud tallow.— Louisville
I Journal.
Gcii. Sumner before Fredericksburg.
He Demands the Surrender of
the City.
HEADQUARTERS of tlie Army of the Potomac, !
Friday, Xov. 21, —11 o'clock, P. M. )
General Patrick, Provost Marshal General
of the army, this morning crossed the river to
Fredericksburg, under a Hag of truce, convey
ing to the civil authorities of that city the
following letter demanding its surrender :
GENERAL SUMNER TO THE AUTBORITES OK FRED
ERICKSBURG.
HEADQUARTERS Army of the Potomac, )
November 21, 18fi2. )
To the Mayor and Common Conucil of Fredericks
burg :
GENTLEMEN : Under cover of the houses of
your city shots have been fired upon the troops
of my command. Your mills and mannfacto
ries are furnishing provisions and the material
for clothing for armed bodies in rebellion
against the Government of the United States.
Yonr railroads and other means of transpor
tation are removing supplies to the depots of
such troops.
This condition of things must terminate,and,
by direction of General Burnside, I according
ly demand the surrender of the city into my
hands, as the representative of the Govern
ment of the United States, on or before live
o'clock this afternoon.
Failing in an affirmative reply to this de
mand by the hour indicated, sixteen hours will
be permitted to elapse, for the removal from
the city of the women and children, the sick
and wounded, the aged, Ac, wtiich period
having expired, I shall proceed to shell the
town.
Upon obtaining possession of the city, every
means will be taken to preserve order, and se
cure the operation of the laws and policy of
the United States Government.
Your obediunt servant,
lv X. SUMXKR,
Brevet Major General, U. S. A.,
Commanding the Kight Grand Division.
THE REBELS REFUSE THE DEMAND.
On bis arrival on the opposite side of the
river, Gen Patrick was conveyed to the guard
house by the military, where he was detained
until tlie reply was ready
In the meantime, his communication was
conveyed to Gen. Longstrect, whose troops
are encamped a slioit distance outside of the
citv.
To the demand made upon the civil author
ities, the .Mayor of Fredericksburg sent an
answer, which was evidently written at the
dictation of Gen. Longstreet, to the fiV< t
that the complaints should be remedied a
far as the firing on out pickets and furnishing
supplies and material to the Confederate arm\
was concerned. Also, that, the rebels would
dispute the occupation of the city by the
Government forces. The Mayor complained
of the short space of time allowed for the re
moval of the women and children and sick
soldiers
The proposition to afford more time for this
purpose is now under consideration.
Permission has been given to the citizens to
run one train from the city, hut only lor the
conveyance of women and children.
JACKSON RENTS A HOUSE AT WINCHESTER.
The news received from Stonewall .J u-kson
shows '.hat he had rented a house in Winches
•or for his family. 11 is troops are in front of
the city, with a regiment of cavalry at Mar
tinsburg.
The steamship Arabia passed Cape
M ice Monday morning, and her advices, which
are one week later, arc telegraphed. By this
arrival wc receive I lie important intelligence
that the Emperor Napoleon has made a pro
posal for mediation between the belligerents
iu the United States to the British Govern
ment, but that tlie latter has declined to in
come a party. Earl Hamuli's official reply to
the proposition, dated the 13th inst., is pub
lished in the London Cazc/le. It recognizes
the humane views and benevolent intentions
of the Emperor, but observes that the concur
rence of Russia, expressly desirable, hud not
been obtained ; and after weighing all the in
formation obtained from America, the Gov
ernment concludes there is no ground at the
present time to hope that the United States
Government would accept the proposal, a re
fusal of which would prevent any speedy re
newal of the offer of the Governments ; theri*
fore it is better to watch carefuily the pro
gress of opinion iu America, and to embrace
the first good opport uity for offering media
tion which may occur. The publication of
this dispatch produced no effect commercially.
The Paris Moniteur says the answers of Eng
land and Russia are an adjournment of the
question of mediation, but it thinks their hesi
tation has nearly reached its limit, as the re
cent elections in the North testify to the pro
gress of peace opinions.
BQi. Secretary Chase's report will contain
an urgent recommendation to Congress to take
measures for the substitution of Government
for bank currency.
