FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1862.
THE >WINTER CAMPAIGN,
From_thb Army `of-the:Potomac
HARPER'S FERRY, October 22.
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

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.

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.

The Union people are better satisfied with Glen.
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.

Col. Miller, an efficient officer, went out on the
Harding pike, on Saturday morning, with a fo

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

(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. Casco.

The Rebels in liiiBSolln.
[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. The lack of clothing and-blankets
is generally telt Hundreds of the men are barefooted,
bareheaded; met ragged. Our informant.has seen not a
few without shirts. He was amused at scores of the ca
valry, who bad their enormous Mexican sante buckled
on to their bare heels. Provisions were scarce- arwng
thorn. Breed and water, with an occasional relish" of
beef without salt, wsw their principal if not only diet.
There was no discipline or order with these pertione of
the rebel army.. Half of them were drunk when whisky
was to be bad, sr d for blasphemy and . general immoral
conduct their• equals were never. known, Among the
Missouri troops Olaib Jackson was unanimously cursed
se a coward and a humbug.'
