TILE WAR.
We have reports from the Southwest that Price
is concentrating an imme se army at-Holly Springs,
some reports stating the force at seventy thousand
men. While this seems to us an exaggerated esti
mate, it is not improbable that Price is anxious to
retrieve the fortunes of Corinth, and may a second
time attack that post. Gen Grant is on the alert for
uoh a movement, and is now encircling the village
with what may be termed an inner line of defence,
which, when completed, will make Corinth im
pregnable to the assault of ton times the force of
its garrison. All troops and c 4 contrabands" in,
the vicinity are employed daily on the earthworks,
and the high ground by which the place is nearly
encircled will soon ho a cont'nuous string of forts,
within supporting distance of each other where not
actually connected. Should it be the design of
Van Dorn's successor to attempt the capture of
Helena, however, he will find General Curtis
equally welt prepared to receive him.

from Charlestown, says that Hill's and Jackson's
whole force have moved from Bunker 11111 to
Charlestown, oociapying the whole of the villake
and a mile this side'of it. General A. P. Bill has
occupied the declivity half a mile beyond the vii
loge, on the Winchester road, with another large
force. Two regiments of Stuart's cavalry are this
side of Charlestown. The remaining force is on .
the other side, between Charlestown and Mrs.
Fleming's farm, three miles off. The beating of
their drums is heard distinctly at Ilalltown by our
pickets.

there for twenty seven dollars per ton, and conside

Labor and Liberty
In a recent paragraph the types misrepre
sented an idea we expressed in relation to our
cause, so far as it involved the prosperity of
free labor. The misrepresentation enables us
to return to a subject which .may admit of
further discussion. cc We desire to place the
white laboring man of the North, who has his
bread to earn, on an equality with the white
laboring man of the South, who must_earn his
in squalidness and misery."' This is what we
printed, although it is of course directly the
reverse of what we intended to say. The
cause of free labor is one of the most import
ant involved in this war. Labor is the element
of every nation's greatness. All things that
are mighty and prosperous spring from it. It
is the seed of true liberty. Commerce,
agriculture, manufactures, the cotton we
grow, and spin, and send to Europe and
Asia, all represent labor. The end of
all government_ is the people's happiness;
the people's happiness is only insured when
the blessings of life are equally and generally
distributed ; and these blessings come from
labor as naturally as the ear of corn comes
from the kernel. The meaning of republi
-canism is that labor shall be independent;
that every man may, earn hig dollar in the way
that best pleases him, without the tyranny of
the taskmaster or the restrictions of the capi
talist. We sit under our own vine and fig
tree, with no one to molest and none to make
us afraid.
How is it in a Northern community ? Any
village on the line of our railroad's may be
taken as a type. A hundred men are thrown
by the frellia,a...fpr,o-Thborlie have a
talent for mechanism; others for the finer.
arts ; others are familiar with the times and
changes of the seasons, and note all the phe
nomena of the harvests. Each follows his
calling. The wants of all in regard to clothing,
machinery, instruction, and excitement become
sources of industry. One man makes hoots ;
another cuts cloth and sews it into coats;
others bake bread and prepare beef, and shoe
horses and make ploughshares, and bring coffee
and tea from a neighboring town and sell it in
small parcels. There may be others of larger
ambition; so they open a public school or
practice law, or minister to the diseases of
their neighbors, or preach sertnons, or buy a
fount of type and print a weekly newspa
per. The mental and iftysical wants of
all are supplied. Lire comes and goes
with its little cares and excitements."
The laws of political economy gradually be
come operative ; there are the laws of sup
ply and demand, profit and loss ; some are
thrifty, and become rich; others are extrava
gant, and remain poor; one generation passes
away; another comes upon the stage, and
weary footed Time walks hami•itt-hand with
impatient Progress. Houses, and mansions,
' and wide streets, and beautiful temples, where
God is worshipped ; magazines and daily news -
papers ; a theatre, a railway, a prison, an
almshouse, an hospital, and a library, gradu
ally appear. The census is numbered by tens
of thousands, a city charter is granted, and a
member of Congress is chosen. The village
has b:.-come a metropolis, and the doings of its
. stock exchange and grain market are eagerly
canvassed in the counting-rooms of London.
On the banks of a Virginia river a young
man comes into possession of a large farm
and a number of negroes. He has inherited a
lordly revenue and luxurious tastes. He is
compelled to assume a certain degree of state,
and, to maintain it, he must tease and torture
the earth to give forth its richest harvests.
He has no time to observe those gentle laws
of nature which must always be observed, or
barrenness and desolation will surely come.
The demands of an expensive life—the wine
cup, the dice-box, the horse-race—or the
fancy of some beautiful woman must be sails-
fied. So be plants cotton or tabacco from
year to year, until, at last, the 'exhausted
earth refuses its tribute. Then the negroes
are sold into the more distant South, the
lands fall into decay, the mansion becomes
warped and ungainly, and in a flash of false
and nut atural splendor the glory of the
planter expires. Ile has lived for a certain
.number of years—he has tilled the earth and
bartered its produce, but the labor of the hun
drsd men who lived with him has ended in
nothing but bonds and mortgages, an old
house, and a number of untenanted shanties
where the negroes had lived before. In the
meantime fortune has'throw a a number of white
men into hikneighborbood. They are anxious to
live and be happy, to earn their bread and at the •
ame time worship Ga—keep progress with
the weed around them by cblannunication and
association, and educate the children that may ii
come to them. They will make shoes or
Clothes, or ploughillares, or do anything that
liandim aft or genius may suggest. They
meow that labor is the great law of life—and
they desire to labor. They desire to do ,
so with a high purpose, and fJr the ob
ject of elevating and advancing one another.
But they fied an antagonism they cannot over
come. It disheartens, and crushes, and dwarfs
them. A hundred black men, instead of labor
ing for themselves and one another, as men
should do, labor for one who holds their
1 hefty, their energies, and their lives at
his command. They must not read nor
search into the cause and purpose of
their exis' once. They must to slaves, and no
influence can exist that teaches them otherwise,
Or attempts to give them that strength which
no cha 4 ns can bind. At tifizial and unnatural
laws are made—and caste is engendered.
Labor becomes capital, and capital can only
be strong when labor is degrade& So
the hundred, white men who have rio.,
money, and the hundred black men whose
liberty is not their own, become the creatures
of the capitalist and landholder almost as ab
solutely as if they lived, together in the hovels-.
of his plantation. The capitalist assumes
power, and in the ignorance of those around
him his power becomes arbitrary and un
questioned. Time passes ou ; other genera
tions come upon the scene; but -their only
heritage is ignorance, superstition, misery,
and servitude. They inherit inferiority; for
they find the rulers of the land a rich and
proud few, who govern them with far more
sternness than did auy baron of old his
vassals. The sunlight of intelligence never
falls over their threshold; the world is hidden
from them, and they live in Cimmerian dark
ness.
We have taken illustrations that might be
reduplicated in any county of Pennsylvania
or Virginia. We have shown two systems--
the false and the true—a system in which we
see the spirit of Republicanism, and the other
in which we see the Spirit of Aristocracy. They
cannot harmonize. Freedom and Tyranny can
never lire together; one or the other must die.
Degrade labor and nothing remains but the
ashes of a mouldering past, stones, and rocks,
and ruins, over which the moss is growing.
Degrade labor and you degrade man. Intelli
gence, liberty, religion, truth, love, all pass
away, and we become senseless, grovelling
things, like the beasts of the field and forest.
In this contest we have a war , of free labor
against slave labor— of progress against decay.
The cause has been championed before, for it
is the old contest of truth against falsehood,
justice against oppression. It is the old
cause, and we hail it with the old cry of "God
speed the Right."
Are the Rebels Retreating'?
For a week past we have had daily reports
that the rebel army was leaving northern Vir
ginia, and yet, at the present writing, the
statement awaits full confirmation. Whether
the cause be the secrecy of the enemy's move
ments, or whether the mystery be official, and
attributable to the strictness of our own cen
sorship, it is difficult to say. From what in
formation can, be obtained, It is, nevertheless,
evident. that the enemy must retreat farther
South, or fight a battle before a week has
passed ; and the impression seems to gain
ground that a severe conflict is imminent. Up
to Wednesday evening there was nothing con.:
firmatory of the report that LEE was moving
.towards Gordonsville. The fact of General
11 - cOnannhar's intention to -.,advance, and, if
possible, give battle, must have been
known to him, and yet the bulk of his
army, according to our despatches, was en
camped on the west bank of Opequan
creek, stretching north from Martins
burg to Bunker Hill, and presenting a line
at least ten miles in length. The troops thus
situated were reported to be under the com
mand of Generals HILL, JACKSON, and RAMP
TON. LEE and STIY-ART were near Shepherds
town—and when these two worthies are in
conjunction, some dashing coup is pretty cer
tain to be devised. Winchester was still in
possession of the enemy, and their pickets
had even appeared before Charlestown, which
is only about seven miles from Harper's Ferry.
There was nothing in all this to indicate that
a rebel retreat was in actual progress. The
enemy had not appeared in any force east of
the Blue Ridge, though of course Ashby's
and Snicker's Gaps were well guarded. In
general terms, their purpose seemed to
be to :maintain a menacing attitude until
the last moment, in the hope that some
thing favorable to their cause might occur
in the interim of delay. Thus, while
really meditating a retrograde movement,
which in any event seems to be a necessity
with them, they could feign to threaten Mary
land, andethirs place our army on the de
fensive, although it is very:probably superior
to their own in numerical strength, and un
doubtedly superior in morale and discipline.
To secure the success of this plan, it would
only be requisite that the passes of the Blue
Ridge Eheuld_ be guarded against the possi
bility of a visit from General SIGEL, and that
the Potomac should not be swollen by a storm
so as to render the guarding of the upper
fords unnecessary by our troops. Both of
these conditions appear to have been fulfilled.
As concerns the first, the rebels have not only
taken precautions at home to prevent Rank
ing, but have sent reconnoitring parties to
Upperville, and even as far east as /Wits,
to see that no such movement was being at
tempted. Having possession of these mountain
passes, they are not only secure for the
time, but, of course, can move rapidly
off to Gordonsville,whenever they desire, and
reach their entrenchments at that point in ad
vance of General MCQLELLAN. Supposing
"At
149/......*-oap i nlrtheydoubtless would, they
would only have a march of about seventy
miles, in a line almost due south, and if scared
could easily traverse the distance within two
days. As ,regards the second condition on
'which the rebels must rely for holding their
position:around Winchester—the possibility of
fording the Potomac—they would seem like
wise to have a decided advantage. There
have been heavy rains during the past week,
but unfortunately they do not seem to have
extended'so far south as e( the situation," and
the narrow stream which now divides the op
posing armies has responded only by a few
inches rise. This may explain the Vexatious
delay attending LEE'S retreat, as well as the
fact of SUMNER 's corps <remaining at Bolivar
Heights, instead of crossing into Virginia
with IicOtELLAN.
Until we receive more definite information,
therefore, we"cannot conclude that LEE has
commenced to retreat. The mere fact of his
having sent his disabled men and superfluous
baggage southward through Front Royal is
inconclusive of this point, and may indicate
a determination on his' part to make another
desperate effort to delay our advance, and crip
ple the effectiveness of our army for a season,
until Winter shall have set his seal of truce
on military operations.
Pennsylvania Volunteers.
Further advices from General MtroftELL's
recent brilliant reconnoissance show that enn
sylvania troops fairly carried off the honors of
the day. The troops from our State that were
engaged were six hundred of the 47th, under
Colonel Goon, four hundred'of the 65th, under
Colonel WRITE, and the 76th. A correspond
ent by no means disposed to report matters in
our favor is thus constrained to write :
it If heavy losses may indicate gallantry, the
palm may be given to Col, Goon's noble regi
ment, the 47th Permsylvania Volunteers.
Upon this command the brunt of the battle
fell. Out of six hundred who went into ac
tion, nearly one hundred and fifty were killed
or wounded. All the
_Keystone troops did
spendidly." To this is to be added that
the chief work done by the navy in this
affair was splendidly achieved through
Pennsylvania leaders. The naval command
was held by that gallant South Caro
linian, whose heart is as true to the Union
as his genius is adequate to the important
professional duties assigned him, CHARLES
STEEDNAN ; while the finest frigate of the ser
vice, the pride of Philadelphia workmanship,
the Wabash, hand somely seconded the efforts of
Commander SrnEn3rAx. The ultimate object
of General threuctn's undertaking failed only
for want of material and men. Let him be
reinforced spGedily from those quarters that
have just shown their native prowess, and the
viper!s nest of rebellion is doomed.

'HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF 'FRE Poroued, Thumlay
Evening, October SO —A force of cavalry belonging to

the rebel marauding cavalry who had been committing
depredations in that section. They marched all night,
and came top with them this morning, capturing sixteen

fifty head of Cattle, which these guerillas had stolen
from the citizens of an sijoining county.
The rebel pickets, under General Walker, at Upper

FROM FORTRESS . MONROE.
The Merrimac No. 2
FORTRESS MONROE, October 28.—A man who says he
was taken prisoner by the rebels several months ago,
and who finally succeeded in obtaining his release, pub
lishes the following account of the rebel eteamer Merri
mac No. 2:
" I have been at Richmond for some time. During my
stay I went on board the Merrimac No. 2. She is tho
roughly and heavily clad wilb iron, and in every way a
tough customer. idhe bee yet but one gun on board, but
the other guns were ready when I left, and the rebels
were about placing them on board. They intended to
have them all mounted in three weeks. Her machinery
works well, and she can easily make eight m lee an hour.
The rebels have every confidence in her capability, and
are certain that she will prove a successes. When the
people of the Nor.h bear that the Merrimac No. 2 is a
failure, and that the rtbels declare her to be so, thenthey
may expect her out to do all the damage she can. Their
intention is to delude and deceive as much as passible so
as to take ne tapping. For this reason a rebel officer
mete the remark Mat the ebstructions on the Ismes
river, at Fort Darling, had been removed, intending
evidentete convey the idea chit the obstructions heel
been ren oved to let the Merrimac out it
An Unknown Ship Dimmed
FORTRESS - MONROE, OCtOber 29. 7 -The Baltimore boat
GeOrgiana, fJapt. Pearson, arrived here at 8 o'clock this
scorning. Capt. Pearson reports tbat„about 2 o'clock
ibis' teeming he saw the light of a burning ship,.which
was about 25 miles] distant. At 4 o'clock Capt. Pearson
mad a boat to the burning Ship Just before it reached
her the mizzen mast fell, and the ship was so math
burned that her name canld not be made out. Her life
beats, were all gone, and she was on anchor, with her two
Quarter boats on f eck, bottom np. There was no one on
board, and no one in halling distance. The ship being
at anchor, leads to the conclusion that the ship had been
fired and deserted. There tire a variety of rumors afloat
here respecting the ship. Sme facta make it appear as
if there lad been a mutiny on board, n bile some Per
sona Ibitk that the rebels halve committed the act.
The steamer Met amora left Fortress Monroe at noon
for Aiken's L.ending. She only took Up four chaplains
end three doctors for exchange. The Maple Leaf ar
rived here this afternoon, but did not bring the two hun
dred rebel prisoners, as was expected, from Fort Mc-
Henry. The last lot of rebel prisoners sent to Aikon's
Landing was not responded to by the Confederate Go
vernment, and that may be the reason for the detention
of the prisoner's at Fort McHenry.
The gunboat Miami arrived at Fortress Monroe this
afternoon, and now lies at the Government wharf, taking
on board heavier guns than she has heretofore carried.

that "they were badly beaten at all pointa, and had
fled, leaving their dead and wounded on the field."
When I told you to 'replenish your cartridge boxes
and bavereacks, snatch a Veep after your two days'
fighting and two nights of watching and movement's,
and be ready by the morning's dawn, to follow
the retreating fee, my heart beat high with pride and
pleasure at the round and joyful response from yonr toil
worn and battle. stained ranks. Ouch a response was wor
thy such soldiers, and of the country and cause for which
they fought. I have now received the reports of the various
commanders. I have now to tell you that the magnitude
of the stake, the battle, and the results become more than
ever apparent. Upon the Line of this fight depended
the possession of West Tennessee, and perhaps even the
fate of cperations in Kentucky. The entire available
'force of the rebels in lltliesitsippf, save a few garriaons
aid a small resat., attacked you. They were command
ed by Van Porn, Price, Yillielgtie, Rust, Armstrong,
Manly. aid others, in person. They numbered, accord
ing to their own authorities, nearly forty thousand men—
almost double your own numbers. Yon fought them into
the position we desired on the 3J, punishing them terri
bly ; and on the 4th, in three hours after the infantry
went leto action. they were completely . beaten. You
kilied and buried 1,423 officers and men, some of their
meet distinguishtd officers falling—among whom was the
gallant Colonel Rogers, of the 21 Texas, who bore their
colors, at the head of his storming column, to the edge of
the ditch of "Battery Robinett," where he fell. Their
wounded, at the usual rate, mast exceed five thousand.

13 batteries, 7 battalions, besides several companies.

ou these decisive results; In the name of the Government
and the people,l thank you. I beg you to unite with
me in giving mble thanks to the Great Blaster of all

I think. Governor, yon are mistaken when you say
General Seaton is to act tinder try orders. His letter of
instruction stater, in so many words, that he is to act
nadir the orders cf the Secretary of War. If be wore,
indeed, under my orders, I bare an Immense work for
him to do, which I would commence without an hour's
delay. I would begin the organization of my plantation
system. A perfect census of all the blacks inhabiting the
Wands would be promptly made. My model plantation,
with its fields, fences, seeds, tillage, imp'ements. houses,
furl Hare. So , would be organized with as little deitty as
poerible. I would commence the buildings, which will be
required for the large accessions of population which
will certainly come to us when we break through the
enemy's line on the main land, which we are determined
to do. I would have all the blacks distinctly Informed sa
to the plan by which they were to be governed. educated.
and made industrious and worthy citinne. I would tell
them that The fruits of eh. , irf u lure tea would be con
retro tti hereof ter to lhei own benefit; to each family
on the plantation I would give a separate etc:Ming, with
a patch for their own private cultivation as a little gar
den.
From estimate, which I have carefully made, I am
quite certain that an industrious family of three p:reons
will certainly save from one hundred and fifty to two
hundred dollar, each year In five years such a family
would bare laid up in the Plantation Bank en amount
enfficient to make them Independent. And then with In
dustrious Imbue, with religious instruction, with correct
moral views and sentiment", with minds properly treired
to self-dependence. they might elect their own he met if
they so cbote. and begin the world for themselves.

LETTER TO SECRETARY CRAZE.
THE CASE OF W. H. WINDER.
HIS PETITION FOR A WRIT OF HAMS CORPUS.
THE OPINION OF JUDGE CLIFFORD,
On Saturday lest, W. H. Winder, of Philadelphia,
through him counsel, presented his petition for a writ
of habeas corpus, to Judge Clifford, associate instice
ef the Supreme Court of the United State sitting in
Doeton. He Mateo in the petition that he was arrested.
in Philadelphia, by order of Secretary Cameron, and
immediately transferred to Fort Lafayette, and thence
to Fort Warren, where he now is. He also atates that
he does Dec knew on what grounds he has bean arrested,
and that be hoe petitioned several times for his liberty,
fret without effect. He therefore applied to Judge Clif
ford to.larats a writ of habeas corpus to Colonel Dimmlok,
of Fort Warren, so that be can be brought before I 4 his
honor, to dog submit to, and receive what the laws may
rcquire." To this petition Judge Clifford delivered the
following charge:
• 'ibis lea petition for a writ of habeas corona, wherein
the petitioner represents that for a long time past he has
been confined la Fort Warren, a military fort of the
United Smtes, in this Markt, under the command of
Colonel Justin Dlmmick, where and by whom he is Ille
gally restrained of his liberty.
A s a foundation of the application, and to Show that
the prayer of the petitioner ought to;be granted, he al
leges that be is and always has been a lops! citizen of the
United Stater', out that until the time of his arrest, as
thetein set forth, he bad been &resident of the Com
monwealth of Pennstivania, and the complaint is, that
while he was eo resident there, he was, on the eleventh
day of September, 1561, arrested at hie residence in the
city of l'hilodeltible, under a warrant purporting to have
been issued by &commissioner of the United States, upon
a charge of conspiracy to overthrow the Government of
the United Sta-ce.
According to the petition that warrant was founded
upon the act of Congress of the thirteenth of July, 1881 •,
but tbe petitioner avers that he was entirely bailment of
that charge or of any other offence against the United
Stake; that be urged an immediate hearing , or the cage
on the day of hie arrest, which was refused on the
ground that the District Attorney had other engage
ments, and the same mos postponed to the thirteenth
day of the same month, when he wee again present, and
ready and anxious to meet the charge, but that the
District Attorney, after etatiog that he had no charge
to prefer against him, informed him that an order
bad been received that he should.be delivered to the Mar
shal of the United States for that district; that he was
ecoordinely discharged by the Commissioner, and was,
then and there, without any warrant or canto of com
mitment being exhibited to him or to his counsel, imme
diately seized and taken into custody by William Kin
ward, Marshal of that district. When the District At
torney, however, informed the petitioner that any order
had been received that be, the petitioner, snould be de
livered to the Marshal, he at the same time, as the peti
tioner etstes, handed to his counsel, who was present
with him, a telegraph despatch, addreseed to the Dia
trict Attorney, of the following tairport :
"Have telegraphed Marshal Millward to arrest Wm.
H. Wunter, and transfer him to Fort Lafayette.
S. CAMERON, Bec'Y of War."
Recurring to the COPY of the telegram as given in the
petition, it will be Been that it wee dated at Washington
on the 11th day of September,
1861, two days before the
petitioner was taken into custody by the Maraud, and
the petitioner states that on the' same afternoon that he
was E 0 seized be was removed to the oily of New York
by a person believed to be a deputy or officer of the Her
*that, and upon reaching that city was carried to Fort
Lafayette, "a military fort of the United States, under an
order of which the following is a copy
"Permit me to introduce to you my deputy, Mr. Share
ky, who carries with him Mr. Winder, to be delivered to
your custedy, per order of the Secretary of War."
Said order or letter was dated at Philadelphia on
the thirteenth day of September, 1861, and wee addressed
to the commandant at Fort Hamilton, and was signed
by the merahed.
Having stated these proceedings, the petitioner avers
that he has never seen the order or pretended order of
the Secretary of War, and for reasons set forth in the
petition be does not believe that any euch order ever
existed, but that he remained in Fort Lafayette, eo un
lanfolly restrained of his liberty, under color of some
order or pretended order of the Secretary of War, or of
some other parson, until some time towards the Last of
October or the first cf. November, 1881, when he was
transferred, under some order or direction to him un
known, to the military fort before mentioned, in this
district, under the command of Colonel Justin Gim
mick, in which piece he has ever sine been detained in
custody, and now is unlawfully restrained of hie liberty.
On the sth day of December, 1861, he addressed a let
ter to the Secretary of State, soliciting leave to visit
Washington on parole, for the examination of his case,
or that he might be furnished with a statement of the
charges against him; but as no reply was received.to the
communication it wilt not be reproduced at the present
ti 4 e. Failing to get any reply to that Letter, on the
22d day of February, 1862, be addressed another letter
to the present Secretary of War, but so far as appears
the communication was never answered. Believing it to
be impossible that the former Secretary of War, General
Simon Cameron, would, of his own motion, have autho
rized his west., the petitioner states that he, on the 15th
day of March, 1862, wrote to General Cameron neon the
eubject, Worming him that it was by his order that be,
'the petitioner, was seized and taken from Philadelphia
tO Feet Lafayette, and there placed In confinement, And
afterwards transferred to Fort Warren, and inquired at
whose irtelauce, and upon what representations ; he hal
been induced to issue the order.
To that letter, as the petitioner states, a reply was re
ceived :under date of the 24th day of March, 1862, and
be gives what purports to be a copy of the answer--
enffice. it so pay, without attempting to give the precise
langiage, the write rexpreasee hie shrprise at the remark
, of the petitioner that it was by his order that he bad
been taken from Philadelphia to Fat Lafayette and
lamed In 'confinement: On the contrary, he expressly
states that be knew nothing of the petitioner's arrest until
be eeW the fact' stated in the newspapers, and adds
several circumstances cenfirmetary of that statement.
Confirmed by that letter in the opinion that the name
of ;the :former Secretary of War had been used with
ent his knowledge or inadvertently, the petitioner states
that on the thirty-first day of same month, he wrote
General Cameron another letter, thanking him for his
prompt reply, and famished him with a copy of the do
cument under which the commandant of Fort Hamilton
took charge of him and placed him in Fort Lafayette—
and alto a copy of bit telegraihio despatch to the District
Attoreey, which wee handed to his counsel at the time
be was diecharged by the Coromhsioner. Oonaidetiog
that the reply of General Cameron its a brief one, it will
be given in the language of the copy set forth in the
petition; .
Local - EL, April 2,.1862.
W. H. Wind -sr, Esq --Sue : I have 'enclosed your
letter (of the Met), received to•dav, to the' Secretary or
-B:ate, and disavowed all knowledge of your arrest, with
a nuuest for your release, if you have been held by
my direction. Very reiptctfulli,
SIMON OAllESOiI•
Various other matters are stated in the petition,
which nc«l not be particularly noticed at this stage"of
the case, except to Bay that the petitioner, in - conclusion,
avers that he has been nearly fourteen months unlaw
fully restrained of his liberty, and detained in custody,
Hader color of some pretended authority of the 'United
States, without ear apecilic crime or offence being im
puted to him, in disregard of the plain provisions of the
Constitution of the United States and the laws of Con
gress, to the.benefit of which every citizen is entitled.
Be accordingly prase the court to grant this writ of
habeas corpus.
LBy the 14th section of
,the act of the 2.5 th of Septem
ber' 1;89, it is provided, Among other things, that either
-- si a ircojii - c LaT u nt- e li fe Qgiswra t ,C,orr_t of the United
have rower to grant 'writs of habeas COrritis for the pur
pose of inquiring into the cause of commitment—pro.
vidtd, that writs of habeas corpus shall in no case ex.
tend to prisoners in jail, arlets whe?e they are in custody
rimier or by color of the authority of the United States,
or are committed for trial before some court of the same,
or are necessary to be brought into court to testify. Ad
ditional authority upon the subject is also conferred by
subsequent acts of Congress, but it is unnecessary to re
fer to any Mier act. as the petition in this case is ob
sirmtly founded upon the before mentioned P:CTiSiOII of
the Judici , ry act.
Courts of justice may refuse to grant the writ of
habeas ccrpne where no probable ground for relief is
shown in the petition, or where it appears that
the petitioner is dilly committed for felony or treason
plainly expressed in the warrant of commitment; but
where probable ground is shown that the party in in
custcdy under or by color of the authority of the United
States, and is imprisoned without just cause, and, there
fore, has a right to be delivered, the writ of habeas
corpus then becomes a writ of right, which may not be
denied, but ought to be granted to every man who is
committed or detained in prison, or otherwise restrained
of his liberty; Authorities in support of theie positions
are unnecessary, as wherever the principles of the com
mon law are adopted or recognized they are universally
acknowledged.
Altbcngh the petitioner was arrested in the first Mace,
by virtue of a warrant isened by a Commissioner of the
United States, sill the case, as stated in the petition,
shows that be was discharged from that arrest, and that
nc warrant of any kind bat since been issued against him.
Assuming the case to be as stated in the petition, he Wall
not only arrested and Imprisoned under an order having
no other sanction than that of a telegraph despatch, but
It now appears from the petition that the Secretary of
War, who was euppoYed to have sent or authorized the
telegram containing the order, denies all knowledge of
the arrest of the petitioner, except as be learned the fart
from the newspapers, and entirety disavows' the respond.
Willy for the proceedings.
rotbiog nerd be added to the narrative of the facts as
set forth in the petition, to demonstrate that the petition
shows probable ground to conclude that he is imprisoned
aid restrained of his liberty without just cause. Un
donbted 7 he is in custody under, or by color of autho
rity of the United States, and, such being the fact, all
the requisites known to the law are shown to entitle the
petitioner to the writ for which he prays, and on that
state of the case, it becomes the duty of the court to
grant it. When these pre-requisites appear ft Is not
ccometent for the court to deny the application, because
the court has in such case no discretion upon the sub
ject, but the writ must issue as a matter of right.
All these remarks must be understood as based entire
ly upon the facts as stated In the petition, and, of course,
can have no application to any different state of facts
'which may be shown upon the return.

Capture of an Aimlo-rebel Steamer—The
Late Reconnoissance. •
HILTON HEAD October 22.
The British steamer Wachnta Oaptt:in Gilpin, was
brought into port on Thursday last, a prize to the gunboat
Memphis, Commander Watmangh. She was captured,
after an all.day 'a chase, off the coast of north Carolina.
In the endeavor to escape she threw overboard the greater
portion of her (ergo, and en strained her engines as to
be unable to make steam. She is believed to have been
loadtd with arms and ammunition. The Wachnts is an
bon steamer, built in London, and will prove a valuable
and useful prize. She will be sent north for condemna
tion.
The expedition commanded by Gen. Brannan, which
was intended to destroy the t altroad communication be
twat n Charleston and !Savannah, has not been, to nso the
mildest term, a success. Our men landed, succeeded in
firing into a traih, which, however. escaped ; have taken
a few prisoners and one gun, but woro opened upon by a
battery cf thirteen guns, with shrapnel, at abort rante,
Which tore through their ranks. A lieutenant colonel
and color el are reported wounded. two captains of a
Penney crania regiment killed. The First regular artillery
battery io reported all cnt to pieces. Lieut. Henry WAS
killed.
One of our transports fell foul of two others, more or
lev3 injuring them. The gunboat got up as high as pos •
sible. One of our regiments and a batter y were, it is
said, short of ammunition, and obliged to withdraw on
that account. A number of wounded end dead have al-
ready arrived at Hilton Head. The gunboats, we learn
ed, had only ninety rounds left at the conclusion of the
affair.
Our men tore up a portion of the railroad traok,
and the rebels burned a bridge to prevent our pursuit.
The care were heard runolog by inc pickets all night
long The enemy were doubtless informed of our inten
tion In time to be strongly. reinforced. One party of their
pickets, numbering some five or six, were captured by a
party f ent out for that purpose. Bat the party which
was intended to capture the larger body of their picket
spud ere reported to have failed in their undertaking,

the front, war doubtAtsa in consequence of the rapidity
of Burnside'e movement in that direction. We do not
believe that he has gone in the direction . of Solokeraville,
as represented, because to do so would be rushing late
the open jaws of McClellan's army q but rather imme
diately across the ridge back of Upper villo, over the di
rect Alexaridria and Winchester turnpike.
The, latest information from liarpor'e Ferry intiroatee
that the rebels still contioue in force between that point
and Winchester, and in the , vicinity of. Shepherdetown
and Clharleelow. Or, in otber words, they continuo to
occupy in force the ridge on wbioh Lee posted his army
immediately after recreating the Potomac back Into Vir
ginia. Weave not inclined, however; to place confidence
in the idea that be is not moving from thatvicinity safest
as he can de eo consistent with his views of the
movements necessary for the safety of 'hie army. Rani-
Ode and Fits John Porter have apparently already de
feated his probable scheme of attempting to surprise.
Sigel, and there is too mach danger to his oommunica
lion with Richmond, in the prectical•jnncdon they have
already made, to permit him to fall to cover it promptly,.
by falling back with his whole force.
A TRENCHANT ORDER.—General Milroy in , a re
cent General Order says; ' , The General Commanding has
been repeatedly pained to learn that a few bad men In
some of the regiments of his command] are in the habit
of abueing, beating, and otherwise maltreating the ne
gro and mulatto servants and teamsters in his command..
The servicattf these negroes and mulattoes are necassary
end cannot be dispensed with, withont trilling the soldiers
from their legitimate duties, which would be an Injury to•
the service. It is therefere ordered, andittereby made the
duty of every officer and soldier of this co mm end,to imme
diately shoot down every soldier or other person; who may
be ceaselessly abusing, beating, or otherwise maltrestihg
any of the negrio or mulatto servants or drivers in or

HALLOWNEN.-If the spirits of the
dead were to revive and set themselves to writing locals
en the present theme, we might expect a very curious
melange from sink a collection. Halloween is thought
to be a time when witches, devils, and other mischief
malting beirga are all abroad on'their baneful midrdgbt
rounds. Those aerial people, the fairies, in particular,
are said on that occasion to hold a solemn convocation, a
grand anniversary. Burns has celebrated in a style in
which no ether poet can hope to do the inimitable fa.acies
and freaks which mark the period of hallowtide and dis
tinguish it from all other festivities.
_However much it may have been observed elsewhere
and at other times, it is certain we have gradually dis
continued the merry-makings which once made a wild
carnival out of the occasion. Our modern orgies are
limited to family parties, or small companies; chivalrous
old gentlemen no longer emulate each other in exploits
with the bottle, and Halloween, once the night of so
much uproarious merriment, has now simmered down
for the moat part into prim respectability. Still there le(
enough to separate and distinguish it from: all other
evenings or the year. It is the hour when street-hdYs
club together and ring multitudinous door-bells, biding
up alleys and behind corners, and exploding into shrieks
of laughter at the ultimate success of their tintinabula
lions. surely roe must have written his song of tba
bells on such a night. It is the hour also when servants,
after wailing for the sixth summons of the clapper or
knocker, at length stealthily preparing for answer, hide
in ambush, and make a sudden sally upon the imperti
nent foe.
Among some families where jollity is the order of the
day, and the reign of some Lord of Misrule is sought
for, the goodly.custom of celebrating Halloween yet sur
vives, and is entered into with zest by both old and
young. Family gatherings, met for the sole purpose of
enjoyment, revive,'at least for a while, the spirit of the
past. .A very engaging device is to suspend from the
ceiling a rope, to which is attached a little Scaffolding of
candies or apples, and require each of the company, the
hands being tied, to grasp the fruit with the teeth. Such
glaring and gleaming of shoulders, necks, and arms, each
twinkling of saucy eyee, such rows of glittering teeth,
such hies. suggesting lips, such beautiful distortions of
feature, as we have seen on these interesting occasions!
Naming apple-reeds can be made entertaining. , 6 Goe /
love, two I love, three I love, I say," is a very
beautiful sentence when the ono within earskot hap
pens to be the number thus alluded to. Walking
down stairs backwards, with a:mirror held before one, is
suitable for old maid!, and blowing petals from flowers is
very attractive in young ones. The Phllopena, if taken
in the German style, and not La our stupid English one,
becomes excessively amusing, not only to the parties fat
mediate)), interested, but also to all observers. One cam.
tom,however, we strongly recommend—that which relates
to the arts employed by the lasses to discover the persons
and names of their iovers. Surely. if there is a time fit
ter than any other for a woman to look beautiful, it is
ouch a time as that. Toung ladies, alt, look your pret
tiest to•night, and amongst all your mile acquaintance
do not fall to discover who's who. Bright lights and j.I•
dicious toilette can transform *plain woman into a pretty
one, a pretty woman into a beautiful one, and a beautiful
iceman into perfection itself.
It is amusing to recall the thousand and one oddities
which once marked the incoming and outgoing of Hal
loween. The holiday annals of our own country, sea
consequently, city, are net o inn in this respect as
- -Immo - or
bachelors and boys, all acted in concert; but,
w Golden lads and girls all most,
Like chimney-weepers, come to dust!"
and so their customs have come to dust likewise. Then
they used to dive with their mouths for apples in tuba of
water; they cracked nuts, end drew cabbages; tkey
took pills componnded of butter and sugar, mixed with
grated hazel-nuts and nutmegs; they haunted church
doors at midnight, and exorcised visiona with versiclea ;
they mounted on poles blazing faggots of heath and
breoM and flax-dressings ; they made immense bon
fires among the froze, with brimming beakers and flaw
ing cups of ale, they invoked the sea-god, standing In
the surf at twilight ; they gave alms, they jingled
bells, and they sprinkled water; they drank white wine,
and they drank ale and milk mingled with apples roasted
and bruised ; they told fortunes from:the tracks of snails
among ashes, they supped off parsnips, and made dumb,
somas, seed and oat cakes, which they kept like the
show• bread in the Bible. Pantries and pancakes, apple.-
parings and lemon-peels, hemp seed and green peascods,
sprigs of ash and lady-birds, and a hundred other things,
formed the sum of their entertainments. The devices of
the maidens for finding out their own true loves ware in
finite. Nowada, a, however, true loves are either vary
scarce or they are past finding out. Mammas generally
settle this thing, and who shall say that, after all, this is
not the most genteel metbcdl
The gentle Judgment of mamma entirely enpersedoe all
solicitude on the pert of the daughter. If, Indeed, there
were any truth in the preeerithd forme of old by which
the spirits of the absent or departed were invoked, how
many of those who met their doom, either in the camp,
in the hospital, or in the field, would be conjared to night
to render tack a voice of the past ! We sincerely hope
that this could be done, and so brighten with dear me
•meries the fleeting hours of Halloween.
FAREWELL SERMON OF THE REV. D.R.
DALE.—The United Presbyterian church, at the north
east corner of Sixteenth and Race streets, was last night
filled with a congregation assembled to bid adieu
for a session to their pastor. The Reverend Dr.
Dale hes been connected with We church for
the" last twenty-two SOWS, and is jastly beloved and
revered by Lis large and intleential charge. Re is
about to become a traveller for come els or eight months,
in the direction of Egypt and the Holy Land, the health
of a member of his family, and the fact of his having
relatives there, rendering this desirable. He will be ac
companied by Dr. Protley, of Pittsburg, by who n, also,
be was assisted last evening. During his absence, the
pulpit will probably be filled by students from the Alle
gheny Theological Seminar,.
The exercises of last evening commenced at a quarter
to eight o'clock, with elating and prayer
Dr. Dale then referred to a remark which had been
made the previous Thursday evening, relative to this
being perhaps the last occasion which ho and hie dock
should enjoy of bolding communion together. He then
said that, in accordance with a request made, the intended
services would be waived, and others, be knew not what,
substituted by those who had proposed the alteration The
regular benediction was then pronounced, at er which
the minutes of the previous meeting were read. Mr.
Getty then made an appropriate speech, alluding to the
long pastorate of Dr. Dale, to his efficiency and influence,
and to the deep veneration and love of his congregation,
cloeing by presenting Dr. Dale, on behalf of the latter,
with a puree' of five hundred dollars, collected since
Monday last. This fact alone speaks volumes Dr. Dale
will leave in a day or so. The services last evening were
of an extremely interesting character, not only to the
congregation, but also to those present who were
strangers.
RICCIWITING IN THE CITY.—The 157th
Beers ent of Fenner 'Tanta Volunteers, Colonel William
A. Grey, is meeting with considerable littlCO 3 / 1 , and the
headquarters of the regiment, 027 Chestnut street,, pre
tents a lively appearance. Colonel Gray was in the des
perate tight of Cedar Mountain and other skirmishes in
Virginia, which is an inducement to those volunteering,
as they will have an experienced officer over them A
bounty of three hundred and fifteen dollars is offered to
any one now enlisting. We call attention to the adver
th ement iu this paper.
Ebe officers or the old regiments are making increased
eaertione to fill their organizations, and it la among the
veteran troops where the men will be of the most ser
vice to the Government at the present time. Besides,
we should think that it would ha far preferable to share
the glories of the gallant fellows now in the field, and
to serve under the bullet torn banners with the names
of ncrocrone battles inscribed upon them, than to be
11 ing idle for several months in a camp of instruction.
Some reports have been circulated that the officers of
the old resit:runts and the Committee baring charm of
the Citizens' Bounty Fund are not upon the best of
terms. These et: rtes, we are enured, are not correct.
The Mum:ate° have alwath been friendly to the regi
ments in the field, and are disposed to lender Them any
aid poteible.
DBAFTXD lthiN AND THBEE-YEARS

fruiting officers of the thess-ream regiments to enlist as
many of these men for the war as possible, permission
to that afoot having been granted. Yesterday a warm
bar of the three-year offioeri visited Camp Phtladelphie
for that purpose, but were excluded from the camp
grounds. Why this was done, we have not yet been able
to ascertain. A three•years recruit, it is certain, is of
more benefit to the country then a drafted man for nine
months, and as many of the former as possible should be
obtained. Po bindrence whatever should be thrown in
the way that might tend to prevent the drafted men from
attaching themselves to• en old organization. As the
matter now stands, there is a conflict goingon between
the officers of the militia mai the old regiments. The
sooner this to semsdied the better.
PBXBRWIATION OF A SUIT OP COLORS

of three hundred and seventy dollars in treasury notes,
and an overcoat worth forty-five dollars. lie was on his
way from Baltimore to this city, and upon his arrival at
Wilmington, stepped from the oar for , a few minutes to
procure refreshmente, leaving hie coat, containing the
money, Is in gon one of the seats. As he wasreturning to
the car he noticed a man wearing a black slouch hat and a
military overcoat, walking rapley, away, but being un
aware of his loss, paid no farther attention to him. Upon
regaining his teat and discovering the robbery, he turned
quickly to see if the man was still in sight, but he was
nowhere visible, nor could any one give him any infor
mation of his whereabouts. As BM as he reached this
city he repaired to the Central atstion and made the
above statement, and placed the matter in the hands of
one of the detectives, who hopes soon to be able to ar
rest the thief and recover the stolen property. •

IMPORTANT TO DRA.FTRES,,-001013.01
Buff, United States mustering officer or this poet, bat
received inetructione to muster into the service of the
United States as volunteers for the war, any drafted mi
litiaman who may present himself for that purpose. This
order will tranefer to the draftee any benefits to be de
rived from the various bounty funds and relief associa
tions. This shows clearly that the design of the Govern
ment in drafting men was merely to insure the filling of
all Quotas fairly and fully in the various Statee, and as
this will always prevent a thorough organization of the
drafted men, it is reasonable to suppose that they will be
held to service only for emergencies, and as troops for oc
cupation of important points.
