But f learn from a wealthy and sensible Union

and when remembered that I had induced hum

reader supptse I felt? I felt mortified, disappoint-
ed, innilted; and further, that an apology was due
from M\ tothe men, and I made it to the regiments,
drawn wt. square, before -
,taking ,up their line of
march. ,1" 'made them a speech, advised them to
obey theoluipland to march, and to go cheerfully,
and trus\;6 while longer to the generosity, huma
nity, a4':honesty of the Federal Government.
They shoutid for the "stare and stripes," said they
would,go,'fitht and die in the cause if need be, and
trust to Biownlow, Gov. Johnsen, and Horace

They 'received one suit of light clothes, sufficient
to bide nakediess, and to see an eutiro regi
ment at ohe time stripping off their filthy; rags and
throwing hem asidi, and to hear them relate their
suffering from hunglr, nakedness, and exposure, it
moved Ms to tear? ; and in shaking hands with
them I found mysidf too full to speak, and only
manifested my regard by a c,ordial shake of the
hand. For more Uinta month before they left the
•
Gap they were upon half rations, and for ten days
before they/left tiey had not tasted bread, but
subsisted upon beans and rice, and only half rations
of those. Durpg the sixteen-days' march to the
Ohio river the3lived by grating new corn and kill
ing such bogs kid sheep as they could find on the
road. It is g*atly to be regretted that the men
composing thii army have been so shamefully ne
glected, and triated with such cruelty. If ever a
set of men delrved consideration at the hands of
the Government, those who held the Gap, without
ammunitionoi provisions, and made this success-
ful and harazdeps march, bringing off their artillery
and small arms and supply trains in safety, and re
pulsing and ihting 2,500 guerillas, who besot
them on all sills, deserve that consideration. And
if they are . r 4 provided with now clothing, in

They were the men who, together with Geaeral
Curtis' East„Tennessee regiments, who took Cum
berland Gap, have done the fighting, scouting, and
foraging services of that army, killing many rebels,
and never have been paid one dollar, and but one
snit of clothes. It now turns out that, having
served more than nine months without any pay,
there is a sort of informality in the manner in which
they were roistered into the service; there is a sort
of red-tape quilble raised, because some regularly
authorized officer of the regular army, a West
Pointer, with shoulder-straps, and a large stook of
self-conceit, did not muster them into service. The
curse of the United States army, in this war, is
West Point, and I wish, mast heartily, as a friend
of the Union, that there could be a ton of powder
placed under that concern, and let it be tumbled
pell-mell into the Hudson river I West Point gene
rals, as a general thing, don't desire a victory,' un
less they on account for it according to Scott's
Teaks. 'What we want, as a nation, and what we
lack, are atle and daring men- men for the times,
men of audacity and quick decision, in this revolt':
tionar3r war—men who are willing to risk their
lives and reputations, as the rebel generals do.
Military etucation and talents are great matters,
but energy and promptitude are greater, and of
much mere importance. The men who come up to
my standard, in these respects, are Picayune But
ler, Roseerans, Fremont, Mitchell, Sigel, and Lew
Wallace. ' They are dashing and fighting men, and
consequently dangerous men. They have some
thing of the Jackson about them, and, if let alone,
would eitier make a spoon or spite a horn..
But I riturn to the case of the East Tennesseans.
The authirity to muster them into service was de
legated to Colonels Byrd and Spears by the War
Departmint, when their letters of appointment
were issued to them, and these colonels, assisted by
Gen. Carter, mustered in these very East Ten
nesseans, and I have inspected the original commis
sions. Now it is proposed to muster them in by
a -West Pointer, and, by the new muster, the two
hundred! men who have died out of the six regi
ments, and the four hundred who are sink and have
become disabled in the actual service of the United
States, must be thrown aside, and never receive
one- dollar for their services. The sick and disa
bled—exiles from home, strangers in a strange
land—East Tennessee refugees, who were encou
raged the officers of the Government to cross
into. Kentuoky and enlist, are to be turned loose
withouti thanks - , without 'clothes to hide their na
kednessi and without money to pay their way out
of the voods, after nine months of exposure and
bard service. And by a pack of military asses and
apecul4ing paymasters, an act of cruelty and in-'
justice b to be perpetrated, that has never yet dis
graced Jeff Davis' corrupt Government ! Can .
• sucli things be done ? If they can, and they are,
allowed to pass, they must disgrace the service of
the United States, and the Government which up
holds the villainous ontrsge upon humanity and.
common honesty
Now, these East Tennessee regiments are either
in - the United States service or: they are out of
it. , If in, the service, let them be , clothed, fed, and
paid ; if out of it, let them no longer be formed to
undergo hard service ; let them be set at liberty,
and.allowed to work for some honest men, who will
give them their victuals and clothes, until the war
is ended ! But, if the United States authorities re
gard these East Tennesseans as white slaves, or
as SOnthtrn contrabands, let President Lincoln
issue an Emancipation Proclamation, and declare
them rREE, as they have escaped into the loyal
State of Ohio!! And for God's sake, and the sake
of the credit of the Government, treat these mon
with, as much consideration as we treat Southern
negroes! Thus far it has not been done.

_ITISION ARMY OF THE OHIO,
lx THE Fiimn, October 17, 1562.,
Capt. J. 4. Campbell, A. A. A. G. let Corps d'Artnee,
army of the Ohio :
Brit; I have the honor to eubmit the following report
of the part taken by the 3d Division Army of the Ohio, in
the battle of Chaplin Ellie, fought on the Bth
On the morning of the Bth, on the march, General
McCook showed me as order of General Buell, in which
It was said that he should move cautiously on approach
ing Perryville, as the enemy would probably make re
sietance in that vicinity. When near Chaplin Hills
battle-ground, and perhaps three miles from Perryville,
the report of artillery to our right and front was heard,
and General 111cOook ordered me to advance my cavalry
and infantry in rooonnoisanceAleaving the artillery op
an eminence in the road. I moved on with the in
fantry, preceded with six companies of tho 2d Ken
tucky Cavalry, Colonel Buckner Boatd, and when
near the field of battle, Colonel Board reported tho
enemy in sight. I halted .tha command, sent
back for General McCook, and he and I rode
forward to the front, examined the ground and chose
a line of battle, to be adopted if the enemy ad•
retuned upon us, and soon afterwards moved up to Rue•.
soil's house on the hill overlooking the field, and there
halted the head of the column, then ordered up Loomis
with two of his Parrott guns, and shelled the woods,
the enemy now and then appearing, until finally he was
no longer to be seen, and the firing was ordered to be
ceased. Everything indicated that the enemy had re
tired, and it was so believed. Gen. Me Gook rode off to
see Gen. Buell, understood to be two or throe miles on
our right. Waiting, perhaps, an hour, I- concluded to
resume the march to Oberlin creek, then probably a
mile to our front, to get water for my men, who were
suffering intensely for want of it.
The enemy being discovered, Gen. Rousseau says :
I ordered Loomis to reply and bring up the remainder
of his guns, and sent-an order to Caps. Simonson, sth
Indiana artillery, to join Loomis, all of which was
promptly done. I then sent an order to Col. Lytle to
form his Inigade on the right in good position, and
galloped bark to place Maria' brigade in position to
Zahn the advance of the enemy, which / was just in
formed by a mesaengsr from Capt. Wickliffe, of Col
Board's cavalry, was letting made in that direction in
great force of cavalry, infantry, and artillery. I aided
Col. Harris, commanding the 9th brigade, to form his
brigade two` lines, the 2d Ohio, Lieut. Col. Kell,
the 10th Viiconsin, Col. Chapin, and the 33d Ohio,
Lieut. Col. Moore, being in the front line. Soon
alter elle, by a meseenger, Colonel Starkwea-
Iher, commanding the 28th brigade, announced his
arrival on the left, his brigade having been unfortunately
cut off and separated from my division by General Jack
son's column that morning at Mackville, but he had the
good sense when he heard firing in front to abandon the
road, move around Jackson's column, and by going
through the fields to fall in on the left; and I found his
brigade on the very spot where it was most needed, a
large body of the enemy's cavalry appearing that mo
ment a mile and a half to the front, was admirably shelled
and dispersed in great disorder by Captain Stone's ist
Kentucky Artillery. I then directed Cola Starkweather
to place Stone's battery and that of Captain Buah'e
4th Indiana Artillery on a high ridge on the extreme
loft, and extending diagonally -to the front, and to sup
port those batteries with the let Wisconsin, Lieutenant
Colonel Bingham, placed on that ridge, and by the '9th
. _
Pennsylvauia, Colonel Etambright, rplaced on another
ridge running at almost right angles to the one on which
the batteries were planted This formation gave a cross
fire, and proved of infinite value in maintaining that all
important poeltien during the day. Col. Harris' whole
brigade. Simonson's battery on its rigbt, was repeatedly
smiled by overwhelming numbers, but gallantly held its
yoeition. The ttith Indiana and 2.4 Ohio, after exhaust
irg their ammunition; and that taken from the boxes of
the dead and wounded on the field, still hold their posi
tion, as did also, I believe, the lent Wisconsin and. 331
Onio. For this gallant conduct these brava men
are entitled to the gratitude of the country,
and I thank them here' . as I did on the field
of battle. diter the 241 h Illinois went into action,
I saw the undisciplined troops of Geuerai Jackson in
front, in support of Parsons' battery of Jacksni'S division,
yielding the field in great confusion, under a most terrific
fire of the enemy, who was moving in the direction of my
extreme lett. General Jackson wee killed; the support
to Parsons' battery giving away, the guns were captured,
but the gallant Captain brought off his horses and coin •
veiny. Geeing the encatv moving toward our latt in groat
force, with the apparent view of turning it, driving some
broken and disordered regiments before them, I galloped
around to Colonel Btarkwoather on the left, and directed
him to open his batteries—Btone and Bush—upon the
enemy. The order was promptly and effectively exe
cuted. I should have stated that the 2ist Wleconsin,
Col. Bweet, was to the front of these batteries, in a corn
field, lying down, awaiting thOappreach of the enemy,
and When he approached with his overwhelming force,
this new regiment poured Intohie ranks a most withering
fire. The steady advance and heavy fire of the enemy,
hewever, named a portion of this regiment to break in
confusion; but the most of it, under As gallant officers.
steed manfully to its work until forced to retire, which it
did in pretty good order.- The enemy were then in roach
of the let Wisconein'end 79th Pennsylvania. I had
great confidence in the' gallantry of these two regiments,
and was not disappointed when this time of ,trial oame.
They drove back the enemy several times with great
loss, and until their ammunition was exhanstod bravely
maintained their position, and thou quietly (not under
fire) returned under orders to the line of battle original
ly selected by General McCook and myself, when they
got a supply of ammunition, and' were again ready for
action. Their loss was very heavy. The fire of mos-
ketry on them and, the batteries was terrific, Captain
Bush at that place losing thirty-five horses, but ha and
Stone, taking all their pieces, tel back with their sup
ports, and at once renewed the conflict, and continued it
WO atter dark.
At the time this retrograde movement was ordered I
sent en order to Colonel Hanle to fall back also. The

drawn in, thus contracting and rendering more compect

would follow, I felt the importance of my pretence there,
and could nct look after the intereste of the 17th brigade;
and besides, Lieut. F. J. Jones, my A. A. General;
was often sent to learn its condition, and reported to
me that, though severely wailed, It had triumph
antly reputeed tbelenemy In several attacks, and
that Colonel Lytle felt that he could easily main
tain his position; but late in the afternoon an im
mense force of fresh troops of the enemy moving around
to his right, concealed by the undulation of the ground,
tweed his right flank, and fell upon the right and rear
Of his brigade, and drove it and forced it to retire, which
it did tinder the orders of Col. Lytle, who was at the
same moment wounded, as he thought fatally, and, re
fusing to be taken from the field, was taken prisoner by
the enemy. Hearing of this condition of things, I gal
loped over toward the right and found the brigade re
formed in line-of.battle, the 'debt (the 15th Kentucky
Volunteers, Colonel Pope) resting on the hill at Clark's
house with Loomis' Battery immediately in the rear on
an eminence,the 10th Ohio, Lieut. Oslonel Berke, and
the 3d Ohio, 01. Beatty, on the left of the road.
These regiments had, without support, struggled hard
to hold their lino of battle [or several hours, and were
only forced to retire after immense lose, and the move
ment of the enemy above referred to. Whilst near the
15th Kentucky, I saw a heavy force of the enemy ad
vancing upon ourright, the same that had turned Lytle's
right flank. It was moving steadily up In fall view of
where General Giibert's army corps had been during the
day, the left flank of which was not more than four hun•
deed yards from it. On approaching, the 15th Kentucky.
though broken and shattered, rose to its feet and cheered,
and, as one man, moved to the top of the hill where It
could see the enemy, and I ordered it to lie down. I then
rcde up to Loomis' battery, and directed him to open
upon the enemy.
He replied he was ordered by Gon. McCook to rerereo
what ammunition he had for close work. Pointing to
the enemy advancing, I said it was close enough, and
would be cloeer in a moment. Ho at once opened tire
with alacrity, and made fearful havoc upon the ranks of
the enemy. It was admirably done,_ bat the enemy
- moved straight ahead ; his ranks were raked by the bat
ter y, and terribly thinned by the musketry of the 17th
brigade. but he scarcely faltered; and finally hearing that
reinforcements were approaching, the brigade was or
dered to retire and give place to them, which it did in
geed order. The reinforcements wore from Mitchell's
division as I understood, and were 6 ' Pea Ridge men,"
I wish I knew who commanded the brigade, that I might
de him justice; I can only Bay that the brigade moved di
redly into the tight lik e true soldiers, and opened a terrific
fire and drove back the enemy. It was a gallant body
of men. After repulsing the enemy they retired
a few hundred yards to a piece of woods to encamp in,
and during the night the enemy advanced his pickets in
the weeds on our left front, and during the night cap
tured a good many of our men, who wont there believing
we still held the, woods. It was in this way that my A.
A. General, Lieutenant F. J. Jones, and Lieutenant .1.
A. Grover, A. A. General 17th brigade, were captured
by the enemy. I regretted the capture of these young
gentlemen deeply. They had behaved most gallantly
during the day, and I can truly say deserve well of their
country. Major Hopkins, with three companies of the
let Michigan Engineers and Mechanics, remained on the
field during the day, and late in the evening formed a
line of battle on line with the portion of the 17th brigade
on the left of the road. Their force was too email to op
pose the Over clog column of the enemy. They took
shelter behind Clark's house, but were forced to retire
with the 17th brigade, which was done in good order.
They last quite a number in wounded and miming.
y division fought it under many disadvantages. It
wee attacked on ground well known to the enemy, and
fixed upon by him as the battle.fleld, and white it was
on the march, and it was impossible for ns to know much
of the nature of the ground on which we fought. My
men, too,. were suffering intensely for want of water,
having been scantily supplied for a day or two; but they
fought it bravely and against three or four times their
number of the beet soldiers of the rebel army, and under
the direction and eye of Bragg, B ackner, Polk, Cbeatham,
and other prominent generals of the rebel army.
If of the old troops any man flinched, I do not
know it and have not beard of it, and very
few men of the undisciplined new regiments
behaved badly. I bad an opportunity of seeing
and knowing the conduct of Colonel Btarkweather, of
the 23th brigade, Oolong Harris, of the 9th brigade, and
of the officers and men wider their command, and I can
not speak too highly of their bravery and gallantry on
that occasion. They did cheerfully and with alacrity all
that brave men could do. Colonel Lytle, of the 17th
brigade, fell severely wounded, while gallantly maintain
irg his position on the right, and doubtless the country
is as much indebted to him and the brava men of his
brigade, as to those whose conduct 1 witnessed.
I herewith transmit the reports of Colonels Stark
weather, Harris, and Pope; and also a list of casualties
in my division, amounting, in all, to 1,950 killed and
wounded. My division was about 7,000, strong when it
went into action. We fought the divisions of Anderson,
Cheatham, and Buckner.
I am, very respeetfully, your obedient servant,

THE PENINSULAR CAMPAIGN.
General Hooker's Official Report of the Battle
The following is an extract from General Hooker's
official report of the battle of Glendale, on the Penin
fads:
About daylight the following morcing, 30th June, the
major general commanding the corps communicated to
one in person that it was his denim that my division
should cover What Is called the Quaker road, over which
cur troops, artillery, and trains were to pees in their re
trograde march to Janie river.
As Kearny's division was assigned the earns duty, and
as it was yet early in the morning, we mounted our
horses, rode over the road we were required to defend,
and examined the country and the, approachee over
which the enemy would be the most likely to advance.
* * * *
About nine e'clock my line. of-battle was established—
Grover on the right, Carr in the centre, and tickles'
brigade on the left.
About three o'clock the enemy commenced a vigorous
attack on McCall, and In such force that Gen. Sumner
voluntarily tendered me the services of a regiment which
was posted in an open field on my extreme right, and
under theller from the enemy's artillery. This was the
60th Regiment Pennsylvania - Volunteers, under Colonel
Owen.
Meenwbfle, the enemy's attack had grown in force and
violence, and after an ineffectual effort to resist it, the
whole of McClain( division was completely routed, and
many of the fugitives rushed down the road on which my
right was resting, while others took the cleared field, and
broke through my lines, from one end of them to the other,
and actually fired on and killed some of my men as they
peered. At first I was apprehensive that thoeffect would
be disastrous on my command, and was no little relieved
when they had passed my lines. Following closely upon the
footsteps of these demoralized prople, were the broken
masses of the enemy, furiously pressing them on to me
under cover of the woods, until they were checked by a
front fire of the 10th rilatnchneetts Volunteers 3 and at.
of Glendale.

tarwards by a diagonal fire on their right and left flanks
from the 69411 Pennsylvania Tolunteere and the left of
the 16th hlaseachneetts. Also, whenever the enemy ven
tured to uncover himself from the forest ; a destrnotlye
fire wee poured into him along my right wing.
After great lose the enemy gave way, and were in-
stantly followed with great gallantry by Grover at the
lead of- the let Massachusetts Regiment, while the 69th
hercdolly led by Owen, advanced in the
•
open field on iheir dank '~! almost reoktaea daring.
Grover was reinforced by the 21 i oX flatilP9ire and
the 26th Pennsylvania Regiments, bat not until hd had
sufrbre4 severely from the enemy's reserves. The enemy
were rolled back tbrongh a pelt of 111cOalPs came, and,
passing Simmer's frost, they were by him bur, ledly
thrown over on to Kearny, whore the fire was kept np to
a late hour in the night.
During all this lime several of Bumneee batteries had
been doing‘eplendid execution iu the rebel ranks, and
greatly conlii inttd to our success. The troops under
Grover were +withdrawn from the purenit at dark, and
restored to their places in line of battle.
As Colonel Owen has rendered me no report cyr the
operations of his regiment 2 I can only express my high
appreciation of his services SUII my acknowledgments to
his chief for hating tendered me so gallant a regiment.

The two armies were fanned confronting each other on

indisposed to advance upon us, and knowing be was re

The engagement became general soon thereafter, and
was continued furiously from th tit time to dark, our
troops never faltering and never failing in their efforts.
For the time engaged it was the severest and most des—
rerately- contested engagement within my knowledge.
Fearfully outnumbered, our troops did not hesitate to on
gage at any odds; and, though checked at times, they
eventually carried every position, and drove the enemy
about two rubes. But for the Intervention of night we
ehbuld have completed the work. We had captured
fifteen pieces of artillery by the most; aring charges,
killed one and wounded two brigadier generals, and a
very large number of inferior officers and men, estimated
at no less than four thousand, and captured four hundred
prisoners, including three staff officers ' with servants,
carriage, and baggage of Major GeneralAlcOook.
The g mind was literally covered with his dead and
wounded. In such a contest our own 1.038 was necessa
rily severe, probably not less than 2,500 killed, wounded,
and missing. Included in the wounded are Brigadier
Generale Wood, Oleburn, and Brown—gallant and noble
soldiere—wbose loss will be eeverely felt by their com
mands. To Major General Polk, commanding the forces i

divisions, and itajor &morals Cheatham, Buckner, and
Anderson, commanding divisions, are mainly doe the bril
liant achievements of this' memorable field. Nobler
troops were never more gallantly led. The country owes
them a debt of gratitude which I am sure will be acknow
ledged.
Ascertaining that the enemy was heavily reinforced
during the night, I withdrew my force early the next
morning to Harrodsburg, and thence to this point.
Major General Smith'arrived at Harrodsburg with most
of his forces and Wither'a division the next day, 10th,

[From the Bichmond Dispatch, October 23.]
We have some further particulars of the recent 'kir
miehing along our lines. On ,Thursday. the 17th, the
Stonewall brigade was sent out beyond our lines to de
stroy a certain bridge on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
and to tear my the track. The enemy, who at that time
crossed the river in force, perceiving this, attacked them
with overwhelming numbers, and they were compelled to
fall back, with the loss cf several men. Oolonel ltor.alds,
of the 4th Virginia Begiorept, who was at that time act
ing brigadier general, Is now In Winchester severely
wounded. On Friday morning, the enemy seeing the
smoke of a barn which was accidentally fired near our
lines, and supposing that we were burning our commis
sary stores for a precipitate retreat, made an advance
along the whole lines; but finding oar forces were pre
pared to meet them, and that our army advanced at the
earns time to meet them, they declined an engagement,
and the main body of their army again fell back beyond
the Potomac. When this was made known, our army
went back to their camp well-contented. Thermo now

A dash was made by our cavalry on a dwelling below
Oherleetown on the 10th instant, of which a corres
pondent sends us the following account, and a copy of
a litter to Wm. H. Seward, written by his nephew,
which was captured by our men. Our correspondent
says :
Our men wore a little too late, as all the blushires had
flown to the woods about fifteen minutes before. But In
their hasty retreat the Yankees left behind a package of
lettere, dc., just made up for the North, to be sent via
Harper's Ferry. Through the kindness of corporal hI ,
who made the capture, I have been allowed to copy the
following, which will be found exceedingly rich. It
seems to have been written by a nephew of Seward ; but
there is nothing to explain what is his position in the
array.

Yet fully convinced that they have not been routed in
Kentucky. The Whig's editorial says it never expected
success there while the rebel army was under such in

of painful anxiety about the battle at Perryville.
It seems that they have received despatches from Gan.
Forrest and numerous other Southern sources, telling of
their victory; but Bragg's official repert liar not been
received, cod they have seen the Federal papers ; and as
these do not admit a defeat to the Union army, the South

this another evidence of tho wisdom of your pallor in ro

saying that falsification was a necessary part of the ma

[From the Richmond Dispatch, October 22 ]
The very first day of the late tlealioll we appealed to
Corium, in the strongest terms we were capable o f
employing, to pass all the laws necessary to give c
scriations full effect as soon as possible. Instead of doing
so they wasted six weeks in discussing the conscription
hill ; which, after all, was passed under the spur of the
previous question. The members seemed to be seized
with the same lethargy that benumbed their faculties after
Manama'. They thought that because our troops had
driven the enemy from Richmond there waste benomore
fighting. In this delusion they were encouraged by the
President, who told them that no immediate Increase of
the army was necessary. The infatuetien that dictated
such an annunciation was amazing. The Yankees had not
ouly determined on, but had already begun to levy a
non force of six hundred thousand men. That force, we
repeatedly declared, would be raised in a very short
time, and we were not wrong. It is already raised in
great part is drilling as rapidly as it can, and by the
time the cold weather sets to it will be upon us. We
ehall have another "on to Richmond," and that in a
very short time. The advance of IffoOlellau indicates
thus much. But an advance in that direction will not be
all. bigel's levies, if we are to credit the Yankee ac
counts, are' to bear down upon us from Washington by
the line of the Orasgo and Alexandria Railroad. They
ere to acccmpllsh the twofold teak of taking Richmond
and cutting off General Lee. That great military oracle,
tto New Yerk Times, has already laid down the pro
gramme. Nothing is easier, it thinks, than to march
straight into Richmond, and if permitted to be done, un
doubtedly nothing would be easier. The Herald; in its
peculiar style, calls upon us to lay down our arms and
submit to the Yankees.
Where there is mush smoke there is sure to be Win
fire. Through the mist of all this vaporing we can per
ceive a steady purpose to mash us to the uttermost. An
invasion Is designed to which all that we have yet seen
of 111'19540U is mere child's play. We speak it—not for
the purpose of creating unnecessary alarm—but warn our
people of what they have to expect, and to prepare them
for the occasion. We know not what preparations may
have been made to meet Emil repel the foe, but we know
that the authorities are well aware of his intentions. 'We
hope, therefore, that everything has been done which the
cccasion requires.
The people of the Confederate States will meet this
r ew invasion as they met that which preceded it—wire
the promptness and gallantry becoming men who have
to euperior in those qualities, and with that firmness
which nerves the soul to dare the utmost that an enemy
ran inflict. We have no belief that we can be finally
beaten here upon our own soil, fighting for our altars
end our fireeides. But we must dismiss all illusions,
agreeable as they may be, and learn to look at the grim
reality. It is war in ita most gloomy aspect that we are
called upotito endure. War for the purpose of reducing
us to slavery—war for the purpose of converting the
South into a second San Domingo—war which invokes
the aid of the negroes to destroy all ages, sexes, and
conditions.

[From the Bicltmond Znquirer, October 2,S
Since the beginning of hostilities between the (lonia
derate and theNnited States every facility has been ex
tended to foreigners in the South to enable them to go to
the North, whenever they have desired it; and no
foreigner who has, in the meantime, arrived in ihe Gon
federacT, has been subjected to any process whatever,
not even persuasion, to cause him to become a citizen.
It bat been the custom in this department to send Bit
such Imams to the North by the tlige of truce which
have been establiebed between Richmond and Old Point,
end, as far as it went, the system worked with perfect
harmony. The federal authorities have, either in their
4ekperation to obtain recruits, or with a view of in
augural ing, clandestinely, the Know-Nothing prin
ciple in their policy, adopted the expediency of ro-
I using to receive on their truce boats any citizen or
a foreign country who is unwilling to take the oath of
allegiance to the United States. Ina recent communica-
Mu to this Departinent, Win. P. Wood, commissionerfor
the exchange of State prisoners for.the military district
of Erigadier General Wadsworth, etates explicitly that
C. no alien, claiming foreign protection, can have any de
mand for transportation or subsiMence on trace boats,
without previous arrangements, authorized., granted, and
recognized by the United States authorities Thus, It
will be seen, the foreigner in the South . nmet obtain au
thority from the Mitt). before he can obtain egress, and
this authority, for the present at least, most be based
upon the condition alone that he will sell his soul to the
Federal Government.
Meagher and Corcoran are now doing their utmost to
gain recruits for the Northern army. What can their
feelings be, and what their ideas of constitutions/
liberty, if they can look upon such an unparalleled mo
nopoly of privilege without indignation? If the Irish
men and Germans of the North are. like those of the
South, ench preposterous tension of capricious power
must prove eeriously injurious, if not really disastrous to
the Federal cause.

ceived. If every farmer who has bides tanning would
agree to spare one pair of shoes, and if every mother In
Borth flarclina would knit one strong pair of either
thick cotton or woolen socks for the army, they would be
abundantly supplied. A great lot of blankets also might
yet be spared from private use,-and theater& could be
made from the carpets upon our parlor floors. With good
warm houses and cotton bed clothing, we can certainly
get through the winter much hatter than the soldiers can
with all tho blankets we can give them.

to bring the articles to Raleigh. •
And now, my countrymen and women, if you hays
anything to spare for the soldier, in his name I appeal to
you for it. Do not let the speculator have it, though ha

say to him that our brave defenders bare need for it, ant

Do not place yourselves among the extortionsre—they
are the vilest and most cowardly of all our country's

come to view the matter in its proper light, you will
find that the most detested tortes are more respected than
they. When they tempt you with higher prices than.

A Doubtful Story.
AN LOON CLAD FLEET TO ATTACK THIS CITY.
BALTIMORE, October 21.—Within a few days past two
rumors have been circulated in this city, which if found
ed in fact, are highly important. I have not yet been
able to satisfy myself that they have any foundation in
fact ; but they come through such a channel that I do
not feel at liberty to ignore them. So here they are:
It is said that the efforts of the rebels in Europe
towards the formation of a nary there have been attend
ed with good success, and that there are now, in various
European ports, no less than fifteen iron.cbul steamers,
in vertors stages of progress, of which eight are nearly
ready for sea. These eight vessels already have their
armament on board, and it is said that on a given day
they, in company with the , c steamer 290," will tea
drawl:is at some convenient point, and will cross the At
lantic in company; that they will ei.eer direct for Dela
ware bay, sail up the Delaware river, and attack Phila
delphia- %he armor of those vessels is said to be such
that they Will be invulnerable to the effects of any known
projectile, while their armament is said to embrace gang
and mortars of the most approved construction. It la
said that the power of this fleet will be such that they
will ho able to lay the entire city in ashes, but that they
expect that, in order to avert this calamity, the city will
be surrendered to them. And this is only the beginning
of the exploits that are expected of this new rebel navy.
No doubt there is much idle brag in all this. Bat it
may be wise to provide against snob en attempt Intel
ligence from other sources has demonstrated the fact that
the rebels are really having iron clad vessels built in
ICurepeart ports. And I am informed tc-day that, be
side the Merrimac No. 2, there are two other large iron
clad steamers now nearly ready for sea at Richmond,
ard two more at Mobile. There is no doubt that the
rebel Government is preparing to strike a blew with
their navy somewhere. But I cannot see that Philadel
phia is any more exposed than New York, and not so
much as Boston or Baltimore.
The other rumor has reference to the rebel designs on
Baltimore and Maryland. It is said to be the design of
the rebel leaders to concentrate 300,000 of their beet
troops at Gordonsville, including 30.000 cavalry, in order
to invade Pennsylvania. capture Philadelphia, and to
hold that city and Baltimore during the winter. They
boast of having 300,000 other troops, which they say are
sufficient to defend Mobile, Charleston '
and Savannah,
and to overate in Kentucky and west of the Mississippi.
With 300,000 of their best troops, they say they can ac
complish the above designs, in spite of whatever Circe
the Union can bring against them.—New York Herald.
A. Judicial View of the Emancipation
Theophfins Perrone, Is a letter to the Boston Adver
titer, says:
There are three questions concerning the President's
emancipation proclamation. One, bas he a conetitutional
power to issue it, as a civil, political, or administrative
act? The second, Was it expedient ? The third, Has
be constitutional power as Commander-In-chief to fume
it, at this time, as a military act? These question' are
perfectly distinct. One of the most common and mast
u tth i t maces of error upon all subjects is the
mingling of questions which are distinct in them
selves, but so near each other that they confuse each
other. Let us eoparate these (mations. I 4111 sure
that the President has no power to emancipate a sin
gle slave as a civil, political, or administrative act.
Was It (edlerit 7 I leave this question to the Presi

bainflillY, and in all the
the question long, carefully, and
relations in which it can present itself. However wise I
may be, cr Judge Curtis may be, on this subject, the
President must be wiser, or all rules of probability fail.
e to the remaining eneations, I have not the slighmst
dealt of his constitutional power as Commander
in• chief, to !sane this proclamation as a military act.
If Halleck, when before Oorilith, might have sent a force

be to say that tie might strike at rebellion, but must be
-careful not to strike , away its corner-atone. Can he do
it in factl This question touches the expediency of the
measure, and this I leave to him. But it does not touch
his military right, to threaten it, and to do it If he can.
PANTO AMONG THE ItEBELS--BTONES DE.
STROYED.—The Nashville Union of the 18:h learns
that Woodford'e cavalry have scoured the couotry north
of the Oumborland river (near Carthage), and made
the guerillas scatter in all directions. At Red.Bulphur
Springs, in Macon county, they burnod up, the other
