In my last I spoke of the grand advance now about to: be intide, and of the preparations made preparatory to a forward movement. In a recent visit to many of my friends, who behaved with gal lantry on the Peninsula, at Bull Run, and in Mary land, I have seen and heard much which will satis fy the public that..our commanding general has been, at work incessantl although preseiVing an outward dignity, reticence, and ease, which elicits alike the wonder and admiration of all who come in contact with him. In the first place, that great auxiliary'of a great general, his personal staff, had been greatly re duced, and, if I may use the term, disorganized, and the great work of remodeling it has been gradually going on without the least detriment to the interests of the service or delay in the prepara tion for- the future advance of our grand army. General McClellati'e staff is not now as full or as perfect as it should be, for a general cannot manage an army like this with less than eighty aids, in ad dal= to. chiefs of the various arms of the service. Under the management of General Berry and Colonel Kingsbury, who operate "generally with General Barnard, our artillery has been most thoroughly reorganize& and is now more efficient, and will consequently be more effective, than ever. The people would be really astounded if I were to tell of the batteries ~I have seen in this army,-and their number. The guns are, all of the most ap proved and destructive kind, with a preponderance• of light, piec s, which shows conclusively that when the army advances again, it will be with rapid strides. The cavalry of this army is nominally in charge of Gen. Averill, an experienced dregoon officer, and one who will keep pace with his gallint coun tirpart and fellow-student, Gen. Gordan Granger, of the Western army. The cavalry arm of our army is far from being satisfactory in its organiza tion, discipline, or caparison. " Can you expect our mechanics, mounted upon dray and cart-horses, (sold at , double their value to Government,) with some very incompetent leaders, to match Soathern practised horsemen, riding spirited saddle-horses ?" asked a distinguished cavalry offieer the.other day of Gen. Stoneman. It is not beCause we have not enough of this arm. If what we have was good for bard and perilous service, there would be plenty. The rebels have not as much cavalry as we have, but it is in an excellent state of organization and -discipline, and under leaders of undoubted genius and ability is used at every point where cavalry can serve the wicked cause. Next to our artillery,,the light infantry of our army is to be depended' upon in the coming strug gle, and it is here that we see the most extended work of reorganization and discipline Some of the old regiments, reduced by active service to sonletimes 150 and 200 men, need io be oonsoli. dated ; hut how to do this without depriving Some ambitious officers, many of whom could not be dis pensed with from political causes, was a problem unknown to the people perhaps, bat very difficult of solution to General McClellan. " Where there is a will, tLere is a way," however, and only such regiments have been consolidated as were greatly reduced, and had 'lost their colonels, by staknesa, wounds, death, cowardice, or resignation, and in cases where one of the colonels could be appointed to the command of a brigade. Now, in this way we find a number of regiments thus amalgamated, and forming splendid veteran corps. This work of organization is monotonous to the soldiers and the people, but, if properly applied during the coming month, will end the war;-and, therefore, it is not good to dispense with it and risk too much. The people are earnestly asked to be patient yet a little while, and all will be well. - In warring with these rebels, Gen. MeClellan thinks best to move onward doubly assured by every ad vantage which is in his grasp. . , Most of our generals lack genios and brilliancy, but we hope to make up for this in sturdy, deter mined courage, superiority of numbers, and im proved implementa of warfare. I hazard nothing, I think, when I say that the advance of the Army of the Potomac has com menced, for Gen McClellan is . now engaged in making a series of reconnoissances, in every di rection, which are giving him great advantages, and when these aro finished, which will be duribg the coming yr,eek v ijwitt...to,,pe, able,tg anon •e- Irtinilicrro that irial-artuy to traeoto6iLievrtabtroireir, the rebels should determine to hold that position, against us, flanked as it is at already. • Our troops are now i apidly moving into Virginia, and in our outposts are gradually taking advanced positions. But is it not written that the " First corps—the fighting corps of the Army of the , Potomae"— cannot advance to do battle until the "Magnificent Hooker"—" Fighting Jou" —" Little Mac's Right Boiver"—is ready to lead the men on to viotory ? And then we must have the "Old War Horse" back again—Gen - . Edwin V. Sumner is wanted—he Of "4 company garrison" notoriety—he who, like Hooker, Burnside, Sigel, anti Heintzelman, has al ways done well; When these and other men vault into the saddle once more, you may look for bloody work, bat not until then. In the meantime, the preliminary work is being done. The advance to Lovettaville, in Loodoun county, by a reconnoitring party, yesterday, was a specimen of this work. There is no doubt that the stores of the enemy are in insecure positions at present,-and that he may be greatly injured by these recoanoissanoes in force. In addition to this, raids projected by the enemy for Maryland and Pennsylvania will be thwarted in thifutnre. No fears need be entertained concerning the ulti mate success 'Of the Army of the Potomac. The idea that it is invinoible is a correct one; for after it may lose thousands and thousands of men, at will be heavy enough to destroy the enemy before it if any generals are left. . . . The people demand an advance of . thirarmy in the strongest terms, and the conimander.in:ohitif is about to bow to the will of the . people., .reghtipa I may stave off this tremendous pressure a little , by speaking of- the immaturity 'of.our grand .plan.of operations. Let ns have ".well• digested plans" hereafter, if possible. It is -understood .here that Gen. Halleck has submitted plans• for the future conduct of the war to the GoVerninent; 'arid these have been accepted and will soontia operated upon in all-quarters. Gen. lialleok. will probably take the field in a short time, and with the corps d'armete of Heintzelmav, Sigel, and Siokles, (Banks')' and per form the most im t octant feat of the Winter . oinipaigri by moving upon the enemy ' s, communications, at Charlottesville or Gordonsville. Gen. Cox, with. his own and the divisions of Gans. Sahenek, Mil roy, Morgan, and Kelley, will soon be over the mountains of the Blue Ridge, and 'threatening Staunton before the first hard freeze, meeting and forming a junction with the Army of the Potomac and the " Army of Washington" in that vicinity. Major General Peck will move upthe south bank of the James river to Petersburg, and in time to cheek the rebel retreat South, irhilet it may be the good fortune of Generals Foster, Mitchelli • and Butler to give the " devils the last toss 'upon' the pitchfork." This is but a rough outline of the plan, and as it develops itself day by day, the people will behold the greatest treason that ever existed tottering, crumbling, pulverizing away.. "At asst we are about to go to work in earnest, and make an honest endeavor to crush the rebellion. Ifthe people will only be patient a little while they will see the ho nesty and determination of• our Government - , which" has been wrongfully abused, in many ways. It has been trying to work out its .salvation heretofore,- amid a den of political thieves, but in this it has. failed. It has now kicked most of the thieves out of the den, and in consequence will not be hales. sad to such an extent as before... I think the peoe ple ought to take this army agar) exemplar. With. it slavery is dead, and the it nigger" • question is scarcely ever broached. " Politics•are played out," and religion, too, for that Metter. Nothing is thought of now but ending the war quickly, .and conquering honorable peace and prosperity. Then the soldiers say theyjare coming home to assist the people to cast out the politicians, w.ho, through their trickery, and dishonesty have well-nigh ruin. ed the country forever. But we must not neglect the enemy, from whom I have heard interesting reports to-day from de serters, who, by the way, are continually coming in, and some of our generals think they render Union spies almost useless. The stories of these deserters are often greatly exaggerated, and " thought up" for the occasion. The stories of the contrabands are always more simple, and, if not more correct, can be better put to practical use, but the age of the contraband is nearly over. They are kil ing the poor blacks by hundreds in the South, for insubordination, and driving them into the interioi, where scores of theut are dying from . starvation and neglect. Our pickets, too, seem to think it is no harm to kill a negro, and the Irish troops, especially, delight in this sport. Every ne gro that Is seen at night, or wandering in the woods in the day time, is shot by our outpost guards, and many who come into our camps are shot "by ac cident." The rebels are straining every nerve, and draft rig every man, organizing and drilling in every way, for the coming great conflict. Their army in Northern Virginia will not number one-third of ours, but it has some advantages. It is veteran , to a man; it is desperate; it has its own ground to fight upon, and some earthworks; thrown by General Banks' corps long ago; it bus able and daring gene rals. It will scarcely await our attack, but General Lee will , seek an, opportunity - to launch his whole concentrated army , against one of mar wings. It. is reported by deserters that he is preparing for this now, but he will be thwarted, yes, and defeated hereafter, upon every field.

Saturday night our piokets were fired upon about three miles from t: . e city on the Franklli road, and in seventeen minutes two brigades were in line-Of with Gen. Negley in command. The Ge neral, accompanied by his staff, rode out to the picket 1 ne, the vedettes informing him that, al though they h. 4 been fired upon, nothing 1 -Jad °c onned which would suggest that a military de;; monstration was probable.

Negley than with any officer who has ever been in command of the post. It is universally admitted that he comprehends the true state of feeling, and is capable of exercising good judgment in'all cases .and at all times. One thing Tam sure of, he will never be surprised. He is strenuously vigilant, and enforces stria military discipline. Ao efficient auxiliary is Colonel Von Strader, an old European soldier, who superintends the placing of the pickets and vedettes, and is deserving of this small, notice. A SUCCESSFUL FORAGING EXPEDITION. Col. Miller, an efficient officer, went out on the Harding pike, on Saturday morning, with a fo , raging party of one hundred and - fifty wagons, pro tected by four regiments of infantry, four hundred cavalry, and two guns. From reliable reports, the general learned that - a rehel force, variously esti mated at from twelve to fourteen hundred, were encamped upon this road, and deemed it unsafe to despatch so many' teams without a large escort. Col. Miller, however, did not succeed in surprising_ the enemy, as,they had shifted position a few hours before our forces came up. The colonel did succeed, though, in returning with, his wagons well filled—fifty-five beeves, several fine horses, and half a dozen guerillesi A " FORLORN ROPE."

On the Charlotte pike our cavalry were fired upon and returned the fire. We lost one man killed and two wounded. After an hour's brisk work the enemy retreated, and about forty of our men dashed in pursuit. They have not returned, however ' and it is believed they were deooyed and captured. On the Harding pike quite a large squad of the enemy, clothed in United States uni forms, entered our picket lines and took oar vedettes prisoners.

(Special Correspondence of The Press.] JACKSON, Tenn., October 211, 1862. I have just returned from a very interesting visit to an old college friend who has lived in Tennessee for the last ten years, and I think the substance of the information I obtained-from him will, consider leg its source, be interesting to your readers, for this gentleman is no ordinary man. He is a native of Maine, came to this State immediately after he graduated, and has achieved for himself a very leading and influential position among the lawyers and the politicians of the State. Re is a man of ardent feelings and strong prejudices, but of a sin gularly clear and logical mind, and has had an, experierce which few men have passed through. He married a lady who had some slave property, and, three years ago, when I saw him at the North, said that if he was not certain that the limits of slavery would be coextensive with the limits of the n- tional domain, he would-not allow his wife and children to remain in a slave State another hour; and, as he said yesterday, then, was the time he ought to have sold out. In fluenced partly by his personal friendships, which were"always very strong, and partly by entangling political allianees, he joined the Southern Confede racy. He believed neither in the "fire in the rear " nor in " foreign intervention," but he thought the North would quietly agree to the separation; that the Southern Confederacy would achieve its intlependence in three months, and then, in less than a year, would fall to pieces, and his State at least be asking for readmission. He says most positively that the people, of the South were never in favor of the Confederacy until after the war had fairly begun, and their blood was up. After Ten nessee had voted to go, out he went with her, and became a lieutenant in .a battery. He was at the battle of Shiloh, and during the investment of Corinth came home sick, and remained until after thieveemation. He says that if the United States takes all his property he shall not complain. He knew when he went into'the rebellion that it was treason, and that he risked both life and property. He took the chances, and is willing to stand the loss. His opinions, I think, are worth listening to. Re has seen the rebellion from the inside. Re is a changed and subdued man. Re feels and aoknow ledges that he has committed a great blunder and a fault. From being a warm Secessionist he has become a strong Union man, and has taken the oath of alleklance. Whereas his further status was based on his prejudices and his feelings, his present is based on his cool judgment and a terrible ex perience—truly an ordeal of fire, He „says that the South are, and long have been, sick, and tired of the war. Except the hot-heads and the office-holders, whose only and desperate hope of 'salvation depends upon the success of the Confederacy, the people of the South, at l-ast of the Border States, would accept peace on almost any terms. :They would willingly free their staves, atd lay down their arms. When they first went into 'the rebellion they expected cheap and easy succese. Ever since they have come fairly to ap preciate the determination of the,North, they have been discouraged, and the last uprising in response to the lath calls has completely appalled them. Northern endurance and perseverance is beginning to tell. So far are they from their ancient boasts of superiority, that, their common expression now, after every victory and defeat, is, that "at least we have fought then znto, a respect for Us." Not long ago, I believe, that was our phrase. They find, to their bitter shame and mortification, that they were mistaken in their estimate, both - of the character and the resources of the North. Their country is ruined. Peace can make it no worse. War cannot improve it. The blockade, though not perfect, is very rigorous. They look forward to a •winter of such desolation and suffering as to strike horror to the most thoughtless observer. In the army they must die by thousands. In the city and the country they must starve. Their negroes are of no use to them except to raise corn and potatoes, and where the army has been they are of little use. lily friend SPEC AL says that he knows of many men, colonels of regi ments, and colonels commanding brigades, who, if llalleck had marched into Corinth, as he might easily bave done any day after the battle of Shiloh, vrould have gladly surrendered and come over to our lines. Whole regiments of men would have done the same. This he knows, for he yasmn'a po : -eitaen-to-know the most - setsratllibtilhWof plgay pi:eminent men, as they knew his. The same, he . says, is the ease now, and this seems to be confirm ed by the concha of many of the prisoners taken : at Corin b, who gave themselves up, and when ex 'changed were very reluctant to go back. The foot is the South is tired of the war; wear, exhausted, • hopeless of success. • On the other hand, he said, they receive a good dial of encouragement. Every defeat is a victory, and they believe their newspapers implicitly ; that is,' all but the better-informed people. It was on •rious to hear him complain of the tardiness of our "Government. He said, when lialleek was before Corinth, when McClellan was before . Richmond, :.each bad the destinies of the nation in his hands. An overwhelming defeat of either of their great armies would have brought them to terms. To take Richmond, or to open the Mississippi river, would have ended the rebellion ; but, by the long • resipite of the last summer, the rebellion has a new lease of life. , A new army, one' of the finest and . beat armed in the world, has been collected in the Southwest. " Why don't McClellan move straight down to Richmond?" said he. " Why don't they' reinforce Grant, move him down to Columbus, and then to Vicksburg, and thus open the Mississippi river? Wby don't tbeyd?something? Why do they lie still and allow the Confederacy every advsintagt 'they could possibly ask for? When I see the re sources and the determination of the North, I can not see .how it can help triumphing, but when I watch its pusillanimous and timid policy, its halt ings and.delays, its uncertain and wavering move ments of the vast forces at its command, it seems not improbable that the brilliancy and rapidity of the South will ultimately prevail, and achieve some sort of a separation." It was carious—it was almost a new revelation—to hoar a Southern man (for he is still somewhat Southern in his pre judices and symipathies—a man's judgment cannot always rule him), a man who has an actual per sonal inside acquaintance with, and an experi mental knowledge of, this rebellion, its causes and resources, talk precisely as those at the North do who want the rebellion crushed. He has been all his life a Democrat. I asked him if he should vote with the Republican party if he resided in a Northern State, and he said he should not enly do that, but should join the army. Ile said, or rather I said, and he assented to it, tbat the only aafety for the country was in national unity, and the only hope for national unity was for'the North to prevail in this war. No compro mise or arrangement was possible—the country must be conquered ; Southern ideas must be over ruled ; Democratic institutions bad never had fair' play in the South ; a muzzled press and an aristo emu were never elements of a true Democracy. The North mustlirolonize and enlighten the court try; The quicker the South makes up its mind to succumb, the better it will fare; fort while it the beginning of this war the North still felt kindly towards the South, there was a passion of hatred growing np there which would be as much more enduring and inexorable than Southern hatred of Hie• North, as the Northern nation is more stable `and persistent. Separated, we should be eternally quarrelling;' tt ere could be no peace between us; like; the Kilkenny cats, there would soon be noth t ing' left of us bat a few struggling tails; we should fall an easy prey to. some strong and.grasping,fo reign Power, which, fresh from loeg repose, should fall upon us, exhausted and panting with the con flict of years. But what will bo the value of con quest or enmity, he said, if both, parties prolong_ this war to a point of exhaustion?' Our salvation is net only in crushing the rebellion, but in crush ing it iwzmediately. Slavery mutt go, has gone, indeed. Slave pro perty will never be of any value again. Ho told his oonstituents long ago that the only guardian of their slave property was the Constitution of the United States. If they spurned that, they kicked away the only support on which it rested. The wl ole world was against the 'system, and, it was only the reverence of the North for the Constitu tion and laws that prevented them from joining in the _ universal crusade of Christendom against slavery. Be thinks Halleck an able roan, but slow. He thinks he made a great mistake in not marching directly on Cointh after the battle of Shiloh. He does not kneeKasi I' do; that there were reasons which, when kaciwii;will be at least a partial jasti fication of Ha:leek's course on - that occasion. He thinks that the . last battle of Grant's, at Corinth and the . liatchie, was the finest thing of the war, and he says they are all afraid of Grant, because they know he is a fighting man. He thinks that Antietam was a. great viotory, and that McClellan is a great general, but hardly a match for Lee. He said, what I have oiten thought, that our - generals, on both sides, look on this war more as a tournament at arms, among old college olassinates, than as a war in earnest ; and that they are actu ated not so much , by earnest patriotism as b . : - / a spirit of personal rivalry. lie thinks, as f do, that the people on either side are worthy oY both E. C. T TWO CENTS leaders. I suggested to him that the people, both North al . d South, butespecially South, had so long suffered themselves to be ruled by mere partisans, by corrupt, mean, self-seeking demagogues, that they bad not only sullied their own purity and blunted their sense of justice, but had lowered the standard of political virtue, until, at last, is had be come an utter impossibility for them to command the highest abilities in their service. The virtue of the people is like that of a woman ; the moment she suffers herself to be trifled with she becomes a bar loir and it only requires a little patience and dex terity to make her the scorn of the upright, and put her at the mercy of the highest bidder. In our day, as well as in every other, a successful politi cian must almost necessarily have about him some admixture of baseness. He said that the policy of our Government in allowing citizens to buy cotton, and thus distribute gold through the South, was perfectly locompre hebsible to him. It supplied the Confederacy with that which they most want—money. Ail the cotton, be thought, ought to have been seized by the Government If it had not been for the block ado, it would long ago have been taken by the Confederste4oernment. I asked bim if the President's proclamation would have any effect to change any existing UDion sentiment in the South, and he answered un hesitatingly, ." Not a particle." It has long been expected. It only gives form of law to what is practically going on every day, wherever our army advances. Those. farther South who are against us will not be any more so for the proclamation. He don't think Thaddeus Stevens' speech " ex cited the South against us more than ever." Mr. Buchanan. I believe, does. This is. the substance of the conversation I had with my friend. Ido not think Thaw, misrepre sented him. It seems to me that he is proof of the proposition that was often made at the North at the commencement of this war, that the South had lashed herself into a frenzy; that she was simply in sane on the subject of Secession, slaiery, and cotton; that no arguments, entreaties, or offers of compre - raise, could induce her to forego herssettled pur pose ; and that nothing but actual force would ooen her eyes to th truth , nothing but bitter Co nflic t would show her the error of her ways; in no way, but by war, could she be made to comprehend the power of the North, and her own impotence. Had we still the old fraternal affection for the South, in stead of the bitter hatred which is growing up among us, it would nevertheless dictate the most energetic and thorough prosecution of this war to the achievement of its ultimate objeot and design. Farther South, beyond our army lines, the mass of the people axe still exasperated, and continually fed by newspaper accounts "of Southern v stories and Northern exhaustion, to which our snail-like progress gives too much color of truth. But, wherever we have obtained a permanent foothold, I think the ideas expressed by my friend prevail pretty extensively; and even South, among well-in ruled men, not personally committed to the cause, they elm. obtain. It does not prove that we have got no fighting to do, bet it does prove that after we shall have conquered the Southern armies, and occupied the important points, submission will fol low much more quickly and much more generally, than those who intend to " die in the last ditch" would have us suppose.

The ap prehensions of the people, the interests of the State, aided by the individual interests or desires of those who are anxious to enter upon the rich lands of the Indian Reeervation, will all unite in demanding this measure. To merely disarm the Indians would lead tone great dis satisfaction as at present exists. It would praoticeliy deprive them of their means of enbelstenc-hunting—and lead to prowling and depredations upon the settlers to avoid starvation.

[From the St. Louis Republican, October 2114.] A gentleman who has been a prisoner in the camp of Geeeral Rains, tied who escaped at the time • of the fight at Newtonia, gives an interesting account of the con dittcn of the rebels on our southwest border. The • eel piers say that Mcßride and Parsons bad eight or ten thousand men ;..flatus -fifteen thousand, ten thousand of whim only were. effective; Cooper eight thou and; Coffey and Shelly font to five thoneand. Resides these, Standwatiehal fifteen hundred Indians, and there were other small scattering force,. The general plan of the Invasion of Missouri, as can vassed in the camps, was that the Confederates would march in three columns, Cooper to have the left, Par sons the right, and Bains the centre. The first objective points were to be Springfield, Mount Vernon, and Rolla. There was an idea that there wore only about eight thou sand Federal troops in this State. and that the capture of Jefferson City and Bt. Louis would be a very easy mat ter. Hindman made a speech on the way, in which he proinised that the " stare and bars" would float ail along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers before Christmas. It is altogether probable that plane and opinions have both been changed since then. • The rebel army is in a frightful condition. Only about three -fourths of the men are armed at all, and many that ere armed are only provided with shot.gune, squirrel rifles, etc., great numbers of which are out of- repair. There is a camp.of Baths' command, embracing about five thousand conscripts, &moos whom there are only enough guns to kill the beef they eat. Donne of regi ments have no tents.
