“OVER THE FERRY."
We liad orders to join our brigade at Edwards’
Ferry without delay. The morning was sullen and
Chilly, dropping tha miat on the duad loavos, and
gathering them on the bare trees and wrapping
them in sport about the horses, that trembled at the
touch of the ghostly blanket. The road was heavy
with red clay, nml full of lakes which reached from
fence to fence. Even the swollen brooks seemed
in conspiracy with our enemies, as they answered
back the shout of our boys plunging in, and roared
defiance at the wagons which stood still in their
treacherous depths. It is one thing to walk along
B street on n wet day, and quite another to struggle
through the deep mud with guns and knapsacks
find great shoes, all growing heavy with the mist
Bud the driving rain. If the Romans called bag
gage Impedimenta,” what would they have said
at a modern huapswk- Somo unlucky fellow
Walks too near the fence, and, like n Grenada mule
Kith too broad n burden, is pushed over the preci
pice into a valley. Another slips on the bunk, and,
{being too heavy, cannot regain his footing and re*
new his struggle, until, like the fabled Antic us. he
louche? his mother earth.
Evening came to add another gloom. In vain we
fried to imagine anything more discouraging, wa
ding the sea, or enduring tho plague of darkness.
Jt is Quite absurd now to select ono ? and
Quite impossible to keep In it. Many lie down la
despair, and wake next morning to bless, like San-
Cho Penza, the man who invented oblivious sleep.
Others walk slowly, unable to distinguish their
friends or officers from posts, and often straying
into the woods, thinking It an army. The cloud
no longer seemed to go before, but stood around u?!
Vfhicli way should we turn ? Over the ferry ?
At length the van no longer moved. Two hay
(Stacks gave promise of » shelter. The saddle is re
moved. A neighbor odors to share a blanket, and
KC lie closely about the stack, like spokos from the
irheel. But the stuff horses are to bo fed, and then
the baggage train, then the artillery come, and for
Several hours the drivers shake the hay seed into
our necks, and scatter the liny over our faces, as
|£er pull H f roiu Hu* heap. Every man must have
& bed, and no sooner do we forget the uncalled-for
mist, and the campaign, whose plan is equally mys
terious. than wo aro waked by some one pulling tho
COTering from our feet, or stepping on our hands.
How we shivered out the night, only those who
have bivouacked in a wet field after a rainy march
Can tell. We dreamed we were swimming over the
ferry.
The morning brought its xv>mv§ of battle and
ganger. lour thousand men had been pushed
across the river close by us, at Edwards' Ferry, and
the battle had been lost at Conrad’s Ferry. The
twelfth would not probably cross tho river, so. with
a scanty breakfast and an abundant supply of blan
kets. wo started to offer our services to Gonopnl
Abercrombie, determined to see or do something
Over the ferry.
Then I rode up the steep hill from the ferry,
among the motley groups of mules, donkeys, sol
fliere, farmer?, officer?, couriers, and all kinds of
living beings, some in rags, some in gold, some in
purple, some in fine linen, as if Noah’s ark had just
keen re-opened, llegiments come pouring in from
the three quarters of the civilized state, filling the
Is&g YflUeys npd reaching with dark lines lutv th§
forest. On the left, high lifted over the canal and
liver and green plains beyond, were the artillery,
and just beyond these the “Headquarters” looked
Wistfully over the ferry.
The.e sat our General before his tent f as quiet
And ns dignified as usual, talking -frith another offi
cer, who looked more French than Saxou with his
Short dutk hair and a light moustache. He was
kardly as tall as our General, yet more stout, and
somewhat more demonstrative withal in liis conver
sation. more like an Italian who talks with every
limb and compels conviction by his own earnest
ness. than a formal American, who utters words
like an oracle on a pedestal. He wore a loose,
plain military coat, without the least affectation of
Tot Lis poivoh seemed to o&dopss his fen
lures, for iii every emotion and figure they disclosed
A latent energy ami force which claimed a right to
Yule. No wonder that every one listened to him,
SL3 if in all respect, save his age, he were General
Scott himself. I asked Port Crayon] who stood bji
%rho it was ? 1I« replied, General McClellan. I
K&s satisfied. Who would fear at his call to go over
tho ferry ?
How the wind blows at the ferry! General Aber
crombie and staff get into a small boat, determined
to cross. Th<- bundle of blankets and Its owner,
JttOW for the time an “Aid,” follow. A great
throng of men going and returning, getting the
Canal boats further up the river to push across, and
bringing them by the locks from the canal, bonrd-
Sngand nnlonctingiije wagons, coming down U? TC
inforcemtnts. or resting after a murch, passed on
every side. Tusre was only a narrow belt of laud
fjetwoen the canal and river, but this was fully oc
copied. A great nrrny of thirty thousand lay along
the hill sides, or in the groves, waiting to cross
Over. How the wind blew! And now the waves
A ash over our little boat, aiding the current as it
tried to drift us down the river. The rowers in
train struggle against it. Opposite the place whence
ire started is a deep creek, and on its right bank.
Khere it meets the river, we turn our boat, but in
Vain A half hour passes. Fortunately the bushes
are not full of rifles as we lie there. At length pa
tienee conqueis. and we leap ashore, ankle deep in
ihe mud of Virginia. The warm sun promised to
dry our feet, which had been tyet since yesterday
morning, but now it must be postponed another
day. The narrow plain is full of water. There is
& low steep bank just above the river, and a steep
fclvff running along the show, ft quarter of ft mile
inland, above which a second table land reaches
away, broken by some valleys in the dense woods,
where the enemy lie in wait. We were fairly over
the ferry.
As wa landed an officer quietly said,« Sir, they
Sre eomiii" !"" In a moment a shout went down the
lines of rifles Fall in! fall in, quickly!’ In
three minutes llie infantry stood in lme of battle;
the caTalry bugle sounded the assembly, and the
two iotapfthles of horse stood under the beak, with
sabres flashing: the artillery men are all at their
Jtoats, and the commanders waited the sound of fI,
cflemy's musketry. Orders arc sent up and down
the lines. The surgeon arranges his field litters
ft, the wounded, and puts the white silk for tying
Arteries in the button-hole. Tho musicians wait to
taring o ff the dead. Oh, it is an odd feeling ! It is
gto amusement, this waiting in the most profound
fcilo—ce. expecting an attack. £ - And having done
sH stand.” is the most difficult of commands. A
dash and shout were infinitely preferable. Will
they not come ? A few minutes pass, that seem
flours, then the regiments fall out of . ranks. It is a
false alarm over tho ferry.
•then we walk across the field, and watch anx
iously the two pieces of ort.l 1.. y under the freer.
Hhey have only a small supply of ammunition!
•The horses are constantly saddled and ready for
battle. Just beyond them are the long line of rifle
®Rb ; on our side they seem short trenches, but to
ihe encmv arc littl- forte; every one, to the fancy
l>f the rifleman—a Gibraltar. The guns rest over
the tops of the mounds, thrown np between them
wad the woods, ready to fire. Two stand constantly
in tench pit. and behind them are a few officers,
ready to shoot down the first who leaps from his
•dace in an attack. In advance of these, groups of
Skirmishers dot the hill side, and appear at the
spelling of the woods. As these fall back, there is
anxiety: When they retreat, look out for a storm.
SDhis is the thermometer of the defence over the
Alon» tbe strngglintr line of fences on the right
are placed the Berdan sharp-shooters. They lie
very quietly and pick off the enemy, long before
the secession rides can reach them. {

of these shorp-sh<K>lefi. hoping to l'eaoh tho officer
In command, held his long rifle over the fence,
looked through his telescope, fired at the color
fcearer. He fell over backward. When they shoot,
there is death in the hall. Some of their rifles weigh
forty pounds, „ ,
SMI further on the right we walk along, toward
S White furm-liuuse. where yesterday a strong force
©f the enemy made a.stand. The fields are strewn
frith the useless fragments of cattle, which the sol
diers use wherever they find them. Dead pigs with
©nlv a single leg pilfered, and whili qtIMWK *f

A braver set of men I never saw, to stay here atone,

The suT'scriptums to tlic United States cw loan of se
ven nnd throe-tenth per cent, continue to he of a very
liberal character. There is no security which recom
mends itself more strongly to the patriotism of onr peo
ple Hum this, an it not only strnngthenß tha monmii-M of
the Government, but presents An entirely safe and remu
nerative investment. The high rate of Interest preferred
is most assuredly an inducement to not only capitalists,
but others who have money, to invest freely in this loan.
Tins loan appeals in a very forcible manner to alt who
are lo> al in their support of the Government—certainly
one of the best upon tho face of the gloho. It is safe be
yond peradvonture. for upon tho stability of the Go
vernment, depends, in fact, the prospective value of al
most every security* upon the stock list. YVe have no
fear for the result, but devoutly believe in the perpetuity
ot the Union regardless of from treasonable
rebellion.
There is scarcely ft {{oYernmcut mining tho nations of
the earth tlmt lias not boon nswiilod by either domestic or
foreign foes. This is the period of our probation. It is
a fiery ordeal, out of which we shall, no doubt, emerge
purified, and stronger in the bonds of Union than ever.
As DIAUCy hits Lodb justly termed the sinews of war, we
consequently regard the taking of this loan as an earnest
evidence of the confidence and patriotism of onr people.
The subscriptions in Baltimore amount to over a million,
and thoso of our city aro of a correspondingly liberal
description. Besides the Treasurer of tho Jtfint, quite a
number of depots for the sale of the certificates are opened
in this city. Jay, Cook, & Co., Brcx»d & Co., Charles
and Henry Borie, the several banks, and others, aro
ready to deliver promptly after the payment of subscrip
tion, certificates for the loan, »o that parties subscribing
may experience no delay.
The loan presents one of the best and most remunera.
tive investments in the market. It is already command
ing a liberal subscription, as is daily evidenced by the list
of names of tlwse who are purchasing for investment ac
count.

Tho commercial movement for last month presents a
remarkable contrast to that of the corresponding months
of lSGoandlSs9. Our imports have fallen off one-half,
the decline being chiefly in dry and other manufactured
goody, which can he disi>ei,*«l with by th*, people o«,r
exporta show uu increase of 4 per cent, over those of Oc
tober, ISGO, and 20 per cent, over those of October, 1859,
though in October, 1859, aud October, IS6O, we were ex
porting specie heavily, which is not the case atproseut. In
other words, we have diminished our expenses one-half in
CnilJ!«lU4!ti« Af th* war, ai.d Lav* lncruas*d „.ir income
fr* >m sales of domestic produce very considerably, while, at
the same time, we are keeping our specie here, in order to
give stability to the issues of paper money required by the
v,ir. A steady adherence to the commercial policy re
flected in the above table wiU enable this country to oro
uecutc the war to the end, and to put down the rebellion,
without suspending specie payments, without disturbing
the money market, or without depreciating the Govern
ment credit. The export of'tlomostic produce for the
month of October was the heaviest of the yearj aiph yfg
believe, the licuvleei: on record. The import of foreign
go«»ds was, with the single exception of that of September
last, the lightest recorded for many years.
Tin- New York Evening Post says of financial matters
in tlmt city to-day:
The stock market is steady, and the flurry of Satur
day uiul yesterday has almost entirely disappeared. The
unnnimous concurrence of the leading commentators of
international law, sustaining the legality of the capture
of the rebel commissioners, has silenced discussion on
the subject, and speculation is fast resuming its former
vJgoP Aisd elasticity. The railroad shares are again firm
and higher, with large transactions for cash aud on
time.
The Government list is very quiet to-day. The quo
tations for tho sixes of 1881 are ia }i per cent, lower
than yesterday. Tho fives of 1871 and ’74 are firm at
55»86.
We hear of a private sale of £75,000 Erie fifth mort
gages at 74. Luke Erie and Wahash are much higher.
Terre Haute and Alton firsts have changed hands freely
at 75, and that is bid for more. The entire list of rail
road bonds shows an upward tendency.
The market closes dull, with sales of New York Cen
tral at 80%, Erie 33#, Bock Island 57#.
Money is easy to-day at 6 per cent, on good collaterals.
