TUE WAR.
THE enemy about Winchester is evidently con
trading his lines and awaiting battle, which will
be forced upon him by Gen. McClellan, who has
Cautiously moved a large army across the Potomac,
which, while it is pressing in the enemy's outpost
guards and pickets in a very uncomfortable man
ner, that should the traitors design fighting the
battle of Bull Run over again, tho•enemy will be
met In flank, front, and rear, and must suffer anni
hilation. Bat not all the spirit and popularity of
" °free strategy," Gen. Lee, or Gen. g‘ Genius of
Inspiration, StoneWßll," Thomas Jefferson Jackson,
can retrieve the lost prestige of the rebel army in
Virginia. For it to advance North is to meet
another overwhelming defeat; to go - West entails
untold losses; to move South gives a terrible
march, with the unhappy embarrassment of a very
heavy fire in the roar; to move East will bring
them facie to face• again with Sigel's artillery and
riflemen, Where can the rebel generals in Virginia
move their armies to and look for success? Not in
the State of Virginia es matters now stand.
General Buell's army is itmotion, we are told.
He has under his command twice as many mon as
Bragg and Kirby Smith have, if both their armies
were one, and we hope that General Buell will not
" walk around" the enemy again, but move upon
his position, and either annihilate the rebel army
in Kentucky, or drive them out of the State with
heavy losses.
THE NEWS
A LISTTER from our special correspondent at
Fortress Monroe furnishes the readers of The Press
with an interesting letter this morning describing
recent events in that quarter.
Tax official organ of the Czar, the Invalids
Busse, announces most unexpectedly a redaction
of the Russian army. Sixty soldiers of every bit

being now at Mount Vernon.
GROROB FRANCIS TRAIN spoke at the Town
Andover, Massachusetts, on Friday evening
' last. He took special pains to denounce General
Fremont, Governor Andrew, and Senator Sumner,
and proposed throe cheers fur General MoC:ellan.
They were given, and were followed by three
more for Fremont. Train declared this treason
able, and- the audience broke up. Mr. Train, it
seem, is not popular at home. "A prophet is
not without honor save in hie own country."
Gra. Eintamss is at .Carrolton, six miles from
New Orleans, in command 'of all of the troops
of Phelps and Williams, and of others besides.
The defences are strong, and with the gunboats
-impregnable. Nearly two full regiments , have been
raised among the creoles, and the regiments brought
there have been recruited, and this is proof that we
have friends here, notwithstanding the denial of
Union men South. There would be more of them
if the Government could make their rights more
secure.

Shall Pennsylvania Decide in Favor of
the Rebellion on the 14th of Oetoher
This is the question nakedly presented to
the people of Pennsylvania, which they must
determine on the 14th of October. It is no
longer an issue-as to the condsdation bill, the
tax bill, the draft, or the emancipation of the
slaves of rebels. It is simply whether our
people, by their votes, .shall declare in favor
of the Union or against it. A few days
ago, on the authority of certain citizens of un
impeachable integrity, we directed attention
to:the notorious Secession convictions and ac
tions of the Chairman of, the Breckinridge
State Central Committee, FRANCIS W.
HUGHES. This disclosure has compelled a
reply from that daring and desperate poli
tician. Instead of excusing, or, indeed, de
nying the indictment, ha has come out in what
is neither more nor less.than a heartless• de
fence of his determination to drag Pennsyl
vania out of the Union• and to attach her to
the bloody despotism of the Slaveholding.
traitors. The resolutions prepared by this
arch-traitor, and as we proved on Monday .
last, in the affidavit of JEnoria Boyni,
Esq., a leading Democrat in Schuylaill county,
which he intended to offer at the Democratic
State Convention of February of 1861, are now
put forward by him and admitted to be his pro
duction. Tho fact that they should bear in mind
is, that FRANCIS W. HUGHES for the last seven
teen- months has, under the authority of the
Breckinridge party in this State, advocated,
so Jar as his personal safety would pbrmit, the
spirit and purpose of these resolutions. By
no single act has this man HUGHES shown a
sincere intention to sustain the Government
or the war. Ho is too fixed in his hostility to
both to condescend a single honest declara
tion in their favor. Prating of the Constitu
tion, be has steadily opposed the only Govern
ment that is pledged to its maintenance.
Talking of the Union, his associates ear
nestly sympathize with the Disunionists.
His very first address, as the chairman of
the State Central Committee, was only a
emotions and crafty elaboration of the trea
sonable resolutions be now avows. Nor was
he deterred from his determined purpose to
convince the rebels in arms that Pennsylvania
must be driven into their support by the dis
gust and indignation of the loyal people
of our State. Ile wrote to Mr. SEWARD, the
American Secretary of State, with audacious
complacency, demanding to know whether
his treason would be punished by the Federal
Government ; and when that distingnished
functionary advised him to unite his forces in
support of the Government, his response was
found in now efforts to distract and fetter its
constituted agents. It will not do for the
Breckinridge leaders to say that this last proof
of the treason of FRANCIS W. Hunting was
unknown to them., Unless, indeed, they at . once
repudiate him and his doctrine. They knew
the man and knew his opinions. They
knew that at the time he had the infamous
resolutions he now avows in his possession
be intended to offer them. They knew
his real feelings, expressed to them in private
conversation. They knew his objects as to the
South, arid his relationship with leading trai
tors in the South. And knowing those things,
they have allowed him to put himself forward
as their organ; and as the champion of the
Southern- traitors. He is now revealed
to the world as the enemy of the Union,
and yet, revealed as he is,; however odions
to the people in general, he cannot b, less ac..
ceptable to thern, for they took him with a
knowledge of all his sentiments and of all his
designs. He is even their candidate for U. S.
'Senator. Ho is the volunteer- and accepted
editor of their papers. They made him the
chairman of their State Committee; and in
speaking his' own sentiments, therefore,
he speaks the sentiments .of the' Breckin r
ridge lenders of Pennsylvania. Thus do
we have this precious cabal consolidated
in one mass, animated by one purpose, and
intent upon one result—hatred of the .dineri•
can Government, sympathy with the traitors,
and a full committal to the doctrine that Penn
sylvania should unite her fortune with the South
ern Confederacy. We repeat that the question
to be decided on the 14th of October, as pre
sented in the avowed resolutions of FRANCIS
W. HITCHES, is, shall Pennsylvania decide In
favor of the traitors ?
• The Military. Statue.
Xs at Manassas and Corinth, "we are to have
a" organized victory." The •real heroes of
either place may claim the honornf having
"organized victory" at Winchester, or some
other strong point in the Valley of the Shenan
doah. HALLEOK and MCCLELLAN still seem
to bold that strategy is the spirit of the art of
war, and that by its display, and ordinary hard
fighting, a. cc decisive victory" may soon be
gained. The rebels in Virginia hold a strong
position ; : they, have been considerably rein
forced, but, owing to the lacknf transporta
tion, are short of stores,: and • unless LEE'S
army is made of different mateiialfrom that of
which soldiers were formerly modelled, the re
bel army most be positively nearly exhausted.
If this be so, an advance into Maryland on the
:part of Lta will not be possible, and a movement
-cierpi the mountains would be so hazardowi, and
promise so little success, that such an idea, if
;ever entertained, will be abandoned. In view
of these conclusions, based upon facts in our
possession, and the circumstances of the case,
the rebels have but one duty to perform just:
at present, and that will be fraught with peril
at every step . taken. They must now retreat,'
and possibly bo scattered en reute' for their

.Meanwhile, we should not be much surprised
to see Mrrertari again in Alabama with just
such another brilliant move as he made at
Huntsville. May ho be able to execute suc
cessfully his plan for the tithing of Charleston.
Then, with the grand movements to be sub

have their hands full, without the ability of

Intervention in'a Shape
The disloyal presses of the North have
striven sedulously - for months past to impress
upon the public the idea that the war has thus
far been as fruitless as it has proved costly.
They would have us believe that we hive
made no progress, that the project of subju
gating the Southern traitors is a terrible de
lusion, and that its accomplishment is an im
possibility. In precisely the same strain.have
the Disunion journals of England, Franbe,'and,
Canada, indulged, even in commenting upon
the grand achievements of Hatteras, Dranes
vine, Roanoke, Forts Henry and Donelson,
Winchester, Huntsville, New Orleans, York
town, West Point, South Mountain, Antiettm,
and other actions no less brilliant, which we
cannot pause to recall. For the North, they
could see in all these memorable fields no
thing but wasted valor—the shedding of noble
blood purposelessly—and heroic sacrifices
made with no prospect of a return. This is the
view of our civil war first inculcated in Mr.
Fi usssaz's letters, whiCh';'' according to the
statements of Archbishop Hnorins and' other
acceptable authorities, now generally obtains
in Europe.
Yet, in the regard of Union-loving men, the
war, whether conducted blunderingly or not,
has at least determined this point L-the impos
sibility of the Southern States achieving their
c , independence' by 'more force of arms.
Their only source of hope is the prospect of
intervention. We have laughed at that word
as a bugaboo ; but let us recollect that foreign
intervention is but one of the dangers that
menace us. The advocates of intervention
are not all upon the other side of the Atlantic.
They dwell among us, instilling into the popu
lar mind distrust of the Administration, and
encouraging in every way opposition to the
war. They may call themselves Knights of
the Golden Circle, or State-rights men, or
Breckinridge Democrats, or what they please.
Their sole object is to secure control of the
Government, and thus open the door for the
restoration of gf the Union as it was" by over
tures to their Southall brethren. A peace
can be patched up, the South cut be recom
pensed for losses sustained by the "Abolition
war," and Northern rights can be compro
mised away in the old Buchanan fashion.
'I his is the self-imposed t3sk which our
domestic traitors, under the leadership and
tutelage of-FRANCIS W. HUGHES, propose with
the assistance of Fennsylvania to accomplish.
They hope by intervening, at the next elec
tion, to forestal the friendly offices of England
and France for an ending of the war, and
incidentally to convince the world that, after
all, love of 'country is a sham m this the
freest country on earth, or partisanship alone
omnipotent to sway the popular heart. This
is their purpose, if they have a purpose on
entering on a political campaign while yet the
'Virginia campaign remains unfinished; and
these aro the results that must accrue, should
their disloyal doctrines prevail. But the
noble old. Keystone State, which has sent one
hundred and fifty thousand of her sons to
Southern battle-fields .to fight for the Union,
will not permit the stay-at-home traitors to
thwart her efforts to preserve the integrity- of
the Government. She rose as one man to
repel the insult sought to he put upon her,
when-the rebel armies aimed to invade her
soil; and wo feel sure that 'her uprising to
avenge the ignominy that FRANcts W. [Nauss
and his minions would cast upon her fame, in
the coming election, will be equally prompt
and unanimous;
Let those who are disposed to underrate the
impOztance of the duty devolving on them in
October next, consider well their obligations to
themselves, to their fellow-citizens, and to the
Government, and they will admit the necessity
of prompt and unanimous action to rebuke the
traitor-clique. The consequences that would
flow from the success of the Breckinridge
candidates might be as disastrous to the nation
as they Would inevitably be disgraceful .to our.
Common*iiilth: It would be a victory for
JEFF DAVIS, and an inspiration for 1.18:now
ragged ' and dispirited armies; more. ;than
counterbalancing our' civil victories in North
Caronnannd New Orleans. It would be a vir
tual recognition of the Seuthein Confederacy.
It is no answer to these momentous oonsidera- .
lions that the Secession - symPatit fors in oar
midst are so few in numbers as tabs incapable of
effecting any marked diversion in Atitor of their
Southern allies, either by ballot. or otherwise.•
Let us remember that they are as nasorttpn-,
lons as they are. disaffected, and :that•fear of
the law is an impotent and unreliable-restkint.
upon their conduct. They, ire enemies to the
public weal, inimical to the public safety; and

LETTER FROM OCCASIONAL:"
.
.
Mono OTON, September 30,1862:
mornnu. NEW SinsAiion !• 7 ;-The" last. and
niist..hurtati fabrication is that mhich is now
being circulated and commented npon.in save
rid of the leading anti-AdministratiOn news
•papern of the free States, to the effect that
propositions for peace are about 010 . *ade
by the rebeifi, and that they will be favorably
received and 'acted upon by tilt) Administra
tion. Even the New York Tribune threw out
'the idea in its issue of the 26th ult., that if
the rebels desired peace they could have it,
• and that
. it would' be very easy 'to Kato
the terms of accommodation. The Tribune
"also stated that if they should choose to
.have a convention to revise the Federal Con
stitution, "we have no doubt that this would
be easy of attainment." This suggestion is
understood to be only carrying out the doe
' trine'of that paper proclaimed on the 23d of
'ebruary,lB6l, in the following language :_
gcWhenever it shall be clear that the great
body of the Southern people have liebome
conclusively alienated from the Union, and
anxious to escape from it, we will do our best
to forward their views." The Herald, within
the - past' month, has been giving strong inti
mations of such a peace as would be satisfac
tory to the rebels, and a statement, over the
head- of cc Rumored Overtures of Peace,". ;
sent from thi:s city as a special despatch to a
'Philadelphia journal, contains the follo*?ne
terms upon which this peace is to be ar-,
ranged:
4 , The terms of peace which they propose are, as I
understand it, somewhat as follows: The loyal-
States are to take alt the Torritoires, Missouri,
Tennessee, Kentucky, and Maryland, and to make
them free or slave States, as may best please them.
The Cotton States are to be permitted.to have a
Congress of their own, to regulate. their, own-do
mestic affairs only In all other things to be again
as one, and an inseparable people. For defensive
and offensive operations against other oonntries, to
be a unity. In ail matters of Postal and Revenue ser
vice to be as heretofore. They pledging to return
all Government property to us as they found it.
They, in addition to having us recognize their. att
tbority to have this Congress, - to regulate their pe
culiarinstitutions, are to be permitted Senators
and Representattves eiz our Halls of Congress,
but only in such numbers as their free white popu
lation is entitled to."
It will be observed that every one of these
suggestions looks to the final recognition of
the Southern Conihderacy, and so to a separa
tion of this Union. Peace is what' all true
patriots desire, but there can be no arrange
ment on the bula of either of these plat
forms, and I feel authorized to say that no
act, or word,-.or.hint, of anylmember of Mr.
Lincebr's- AdMinisiration, can be authorita
titiely pointed out in favof of the proposition
:as set forthin the Tribune, or in favor of the
intimations in the.Heraid, or in support 61' the
. terms. as above quoted. There will be no
'peace with the armed traitors that is awl found
ed upon the perpetuity and unity, Af this Re
public, and upon submisiian Hie-Fede
ral authority on the part of ail : the se
ceded States. If there is one thing against
which the President has set his face 'like ,a
rock, it is that there can be .neither. recog-;
gnition of the rebellion, nor a separation of
the Union. Ihold him to be alike opposed to thg
men who desire recognition in order that they;
may enjoy slavery among themselves, and those:
who are willing to concede separation in order'
that they
_may get rid of slavery. Let :us *veil
weigh this word peace. All classes, North and,

South, loyal and disloyal, armed and unarmed)
desire peace, but the-largest class mat more:.

to Mr. Seward. A 'veri little inquiridestroys
this entire sensational fabric. Mr.- Seward
not .only - did not , oppose - the:; proclamation
emancipating the slaves of rebels on the
first of. January, 1803, but gave it his Or-.
dial assent. He has never dreamed of
-leaving the Cabinet, unless at the request
of the President, - and he is further from
such a thought now that the country is in lin- '
Minent peril. If I understand the position of
the Secretary of State, he entirely disregards
all party consideraticrns. Those who are for
the war are entitled to his gratitude and
.re
spect, and those who are against the war, or
who in any way embarrass the Administra
tion; whether they call themselves Republi- •
cans or-Democrats; tre equally his foes and
the foes ef the Republic. It is possible that
when the rebellion • Is crushed, or the. Admin
istration so situated as no longer to require his

anxious to see him resign that thi:y are con ,

Latest from McClellan's - and Lee's
Armies. •
Our information from General 11100,..er,r„tres army is
up to yeeteidar afternoon, when he was busy, as ever
since his late engagements, in getting,hts new:troops into
proper condition—a work of some time, as experience hat
invariably proved. Nevertheless, he is accomplishing it
satisfactorily and with despatch.
Eince his retreat into Virginia, LEE has undoubtedly
received reinforcements to the extent of between twenty
and thirty thousand men, all* . co!leoripte, with very, few
exceptions. Yet his army, we believe. is not stronger
to day than immediately after the battle of Antietam,
owing to its large number of deserters, (from among the
conscripts,) who go off daily in bodies of twenty, fifty,
or a honored, and wander over the country In his roar.
Len is still conscripting in the oolintry around him
with semorte less energy. seizing all under forty-five who .
fall within bin roach, taking citizens waking in the
streets accompanied by ther wives and children . The
pretence of troops so obtained in. his ranks in so
much larger numbers than before can hardly fail
to weaken the, efficiency of 'his veteran and. will- .
it g men greatly-.in the. next lieries 'el engagements
. which, it is • believed in our army, can hardly be
postponed more than ton days longer, .unless Lethf araty
dissolves of its own accord before that time, through de
sertions, lack of cb•thing, scarcity of provisions,' At. ;
the country within reach of his commissaries nod quer
tonnaste re hatlingaiready boon cleared almost as bare as
the palm of one's band to clothe and fetid hie army.
Cur tailsnent,ol; Furlough' Privileges.
An important order was limed to day,.ferbidding the
granting if furlough, to army a filters, except on say
gime' nertificateitheit tVe desired furlough is absolutely
necessary to save life or *event permanent disability. •
Locomotives Captured.
We are glad , to be able to say that one result of Acting
Brigadier General N. MOLssn's recent. rooonnoiesanco
in force to Warrenton, with his brigade of Gen. EITAHL'S
division of 816zi's corps d'arneee, was the recapture of
the seven locomotives obtained from us by the rebels in
Pore's retreat from the Rappahannock. Most of them
were thrown off the track by our retreating army, and
otherwise injured as far as possible,. Bo ea to render 'them
useless to.tbe rebels. The latter, however, had put them
on the track again, conveyed them to Warrenton, and
reps ired them, so sato have them ready to be transported:
" to Richmond for further repairs and use so soon as they
could reconstruct the railroad bridge over the Revell:tau
neck river. Acting General Ma Less , s arrival at War
renton, however, completely defeated their plans with re
ference to them; for shorter° now safe on.the west bank
of Broad Run, at Bristow Station, awaiting the comitie s
tion'of the bridge there, to be removed to Alexandria.
Trophies from Antietam. :
Captain Lowem., of General MoOLsta.tt's staff,
reached hero this morning from the headquarters of the
army of the Potomac in charge
.of the trophies—flags,
Ac.--taken in the battles of Borah Mountain and Anti();
tam. They were presented to the War Department, by
which they will be preserved, with the already large col
lection of similar teetimortials to the gallantry of our
noble soldiery. Similar, but of far more mournful i ate
rest, was another trophy recently brought in by'a mili
tary agotrol one of the Western States. It was the
-identical white flag which was raised by Col. MILES'
Orders at the emrrend sr of Harper's ferry. It had been
left flying in the, tree where it was first raised till our
troops again had possession of the surrendered strong.

Hoodwinking the Spies. . .
- The belief that Washington Is still. filled with rebel
spies, whO have good and direct meaniqof communication

and countermarching of troops lately. One day a reed
meat marches up the Avenue ; if the next day the Same
regiment comes marching down again, it is not quite
certain that the spies will exactly Understand the precise.
.point to the movements, so complete an apparent jumble

needs to be Argos-eyed and omnipresent to know where
thibulk of the troops really are going, or whether any
Important movements at all are on foot.

r' Presume you are aware that oar various military
posts in, this vicinity have been greatly etrengtkened of
late, 'and that an advance movement is now going on
which may take a prominent place in the Matory of the
war. Recent reconnoissances have fully satisfied the
Government that an advance upon Richmond from this
point is not only feasible. but eminently proper, and that
General McClellan was right in choosing the route he did
for the capture of the rebel capital. Major Gunnel
JAM A. Dix has succeeded in ousting neorly all of the
woseniess pro-slavery nMoers who formerly infested this
point atd Norfolk, and now, when we aro about no do
something from here, we may fool a little more confidant
of success, as the rebel, will be minus their regular mail
from Norfolk.

and favorite officer, has assumed. command .of ad the
troops aboiit t3otfolk, and will attend to . their rapid or

THE UNION' COAST ClIATtn.
This fine regiment OM N. Y 8. M.) is still here on
special service. The Colonel, Wardrop, has recently
been presented with a very handsome sword by the men
of the regiment. Major Nixon, so long provost marshal
of Norfolk, has been commissioned lieutenant colonel,
and onr old friend Captain Bates has boon elevated to the
majority. 6 baltalion of the Coast Guard were among
the first to enter Norfolk when it was occupied by Gan.
Wool, and altogether, the Coast Girard is our of the most
useful regiments in the service.
GENERAL MAX WEBER.
The news that tbis gallant officer was wounded at the
battle of Antietam, caused the deogisat regret hero
amcng the troops whom he commanded so long at Oemp
Vomiton, when the rebel pickets wore almost in sight
of eitir noble Fortress. The bravery and skill be OE 7
bibited, with his splendid brigade, meats with the

who for a long time commanded the post of towpart

SEVERE FIGHT WITH THE REBELS,
Destruction of a Train of ears—Seizure of Jeff.
Thompson's Sword and Spurs.
[From the New Orleans Sunday Delta, kept. 21JB
On the lath instant, the Slew London, with one Inn-.
dyed men of the lath Connecticut Regiment, proceeded
to Pees ?denchac to drive the enemy who might ho there
toaerd Ponchatoula. .111ajqr Strong. of General Batter's

Thornton. Winter, and liarrington), and ono com:
piny of tho '2oth Iffessachneetts, Oaptaiti Pickering
-in, all two. hnrulted and seventy men—went on
boatd • the steamer Ot rev, and steamed for Tangipaho
river. intending to surprise Ponchatoula in the night.
The boat paved of too groat draft to proceed np the
river to the intended point of destination. For the iron°
reason the New London was also unable to reach
Menage Bridge. In this condition of affstre
ajt,r Strong took one bwoOred and' ten' men, under
Captains Thornton and Efarrinston, on the morning of
the 15th, and made a forced march of ten miles in the
hot MU on the railroad, and a large portion of the dis.
tance on trestle work, to Ponchatoula. They found. on
arriving atithat place, that Jeff. Thompson, instead of two
hundred infantry, as bad been reported, had stationed
there three hundred of the 10th Arkansas regiment, ba
sidee a company of Room Guards and a battery of Light
Artillery. The first salutation our troops met with was a
discharge of canister; but, after a abort tight of about
twenty minutes, they drove the artillery; to which horses
were attached, together with its infantry support, out of
the village. Our troops, whO had fought With such de
termination as to repnlee both artillery and infantry eta
ft arfni odds in ,numbers, tim P train of tp
wares of twenty hare, wen tainted with cotton 'sugar,
and tinabraies, and ransacked the Quarters of General
Jeff Thompson, bringing off his sword and spars; the
former, if a e are to believe its own record: hiving been
"presented by a few Memphis patriots." Important
pitisrs were ale found, and wore among the trophies
brought away. .
•
It wee probable one of the most desperate, ad tVeli at
Mica Wu], venturee of the war. for the odds, in num
ber, was overwhelmingly against ns. Yet, notwitu
etamding this, we whipped the enemy, and caused them
to retreat. Several of our men, supposed to have been
killed. have:since come in, among which wore live of the
12th Maine, who made their appearance yesterday after.;
noon. This reduces our lose mnoh below what wag at
first stipcostd, and the number now missing cannot eiceed
ten or twelve. Major Strong speaks in the highest
terms of the bravery of our mon, who fought with a
perfect desperation, and punished the enemy most se•
verely. and had they not done so, our small force
must have been entirely cut to . pieces or taken prison
ers, with such fessfal odds against - them. It wee
a venture that we would not like to see repeated, for
there is too much hazard in ft. Had Major 9 .trane.!
been twice as strong :se he was, he would have onsiEr
bopped what loose rebels there wore in that locality, and
as it was, he did all and mere than could have been e
petted after a long and fatigning march that bad nearly
exhausted the men We long to see one contest when
the enemy does not have the advantage of two to one,.
- or MOM in numbers . Rvemhanded, onr. troops are'
everywl ere superior, and often Rata advantages, when
they are ce repelled to contend with more than twice their

Philadelphia, has just received instructions. frem the
Treasury Department at Waishington, which era designed
to prevent the shipment of goods or supplies whore they
may be 'wended for disloyal persons. No goods can
hereafier be sent from this port, eitt er by railroad., ex
press, or water, to the eastern shore of lilaryland std ad

legiance to the Government. This is a most excellent
move, and cannot meet with the slightest objection from
any well•disposed person. Heretofore cases have come
to our notice in which goods and supplies transported
from ibis city,have ac!nelly found their way into the
rebel lines. The issuing of this wise order by Secretary
Chase may be considered as another death blow to the ra

are assured, be carried out to the letter. They are as
