THE WAR
The report of the late rebel attaok on Nashville
Bnd the repulso of the assailants, aa given by our,
special correspondent this morning, will be found
to be interesting. The rebels, with a largely sape-‘
rior foroßj.made a vigorous attack on the place,
hoping to capture it before General Roseorans could
come to its assistance. They approached the city
by way of several roads, and commenced to shell
the place; but they were gallantly met and re
pulsed by Genoral Negley, although he was greatly
outnumbered. While the fighting was brisk in
the front of the town, Morgan, with his des
peradoes, made a bold attack on the new
iron bridge aoroes the Cumberland,, with the
hope of destroying it, but Gen. Negley had pro
vided for such a contingency by sending a regi
ment thero, and when the rebels made their ap
pearanoe they met with a stubborn resistance, and
were ultimately forced to retire. The rebels, find
ing that Gen. Negley was determined to defend
the city to the last, wisely raised the siege. But
Gen. Negley did not let them go away quietly, for
he followed them, and by vigorous attacks killed
and wounded many, and took a number of prison
ers. The gallant conduct of this General, in de
fending Nashville, although first starvation and
then defeat stared him in the face, has been pro
perly recognized by his commanding officer, and
wiil also elicit tbo undivided praise of loyal people
everywhere.
THE NEWS,
Os Monday evening President Lincoln roeeived
a telegraphic despatch from Gen. Pope, transmit
ting the names of the three hundred Minnesota In
dians condemned by court martial to be hung for their
participation in the recent horrible massaores in
that State, and requesting his approval'of the sen
tence of the court martial. The President imme
diately telegraphed Gen. Pope to have sent on by
mail a synopsis of the evidence adduced before’ the
court martial for his inspection. Itisreported that
“ the ,President has resolved that such an outrage,
as the indiscriminate hanging of these Indians., most
certainly would be, shall not take plage, but will
oonfixm the sentence of the court so far as inflicting
punishment upon the guilty is concerned.”
Thu return of George Sanders to Richmond,
from Europe, has already been recorded. How he
succeeded in passing our lines is a mystery. It is
reported that he entered the office of the rebel
Seoretary of Warin the garb of a sailor. When
the Sooretary had despatched his. business with
those who had previously claimed his attention, he
turned to Sanders, and asked what he could do
for him. Sanders replied that perhaps he was able
to dojsomething for him, (the Secretary.) He then
made himself known, and a long conversation en
sued between the two. It is understood that San
ders assured the Secretary that England was ready
to interfere in behalf of the South whenever Jeff.
Davis intimated his readiness for th'-t event.
Gbnrrai. Orris ,S. Ferry having been pro
posed as a candidate for Congress for the Fourth
district of Connecticut, he has addressed a letter
to the Norwalk Gazette, absolutely declining the
office. General Ferry has formerly represented
that district, but was defeated at the last election
of-Congressmen.
As soon as the brig Magnet, which left Belfast,
Ireland, on the 20th September, arrived at Brook
lyn, on Wednesday evening, a number of the crew
went to the 43d preoinot station house, in Brooklyn,
and preferred charges of murder against James M.
Cork, first mate of the brig, and Wm. Jones, the
steward. The accusers state that when a few days
out the first mate beat one of the sailors, named
Little, so badly that he was confined to his bed du
ring the rest of the voyage. A few days before the
vessel arrived in port the steward hauled the man
out of bed, and beat him with a stone jug in such a
oruePmaßner that the unfortunate man died soon
after. The accused were committed.
fj The visit of General Halleok to General Bum
side has given rise to the report that the General
in-Chief intends to take command of the army in
person. This is, however, denied by the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Post, who
says that he goes down to take a look at the situa
tion, and to confer with the new commander. It is
said by some of'the friends of General Halleok,
says the same correspondent, that his plana for the
Into fall end early winter oampaiKn are compre
hensive and brilliant, and involve much heavy
inarching and fighting, and the attack of the enemy
so, it is of the utmost importance to keep the de
tails a secret, though the general announcement
that General Halleok purposes an active campaign
in November and December can do no harm, and
will accomplish some good by encouraging the peo
ple. General Burnside is known to favor active
operations before winter sets in, and he will carry
out the plans of the military chief with steal as well
as with all the ability at his command. ,
A sab and.’fatal accident occurred on the Ist inst.
at Washington, N, C. Captain James M. Pendle
ton, of this city, who from the Grst has been con
nected with the Burnside expedition in North Caro
lina, as aid to General foster, while accompanying
the General on a march towards Williamston, was
thrown with great force from his horse against a
tree, breaking three of his ribs, one of whioh pro
truded his left lung, causing his death; on the
following night.
The Paris police have just discovered a com
plete laboratory, organized on a large scale, for the
manufacture of forged bills on many of the princi
pal mercantile houses of Prance, and,'indeed, of
all Europe.
The New Albany Ledger learns that Gen. Buell
is. to have command of an expedition to the South
Atlantic or Gulf coast. " .
A Winter Campaign
An impression generally prevails that at the
touch of winter a lethargy will seize upon our
armies, and a season of inactivity, of sulTer
ings,.perhaps of danger, result. The impossi
bility: ofdeflective operations in Virginia when
the dreary days of frost, and snow, and impas
sable roads shall have set in, has everywhere
been admitted, and converted into a graad ar
gument for a speedy advance of the Army of
the Potomac. The importance of accomplish
ing something tangible while the means are at
band, and the time yet remains, is alike patent
to the people and the Government. Certainly
weighty financial and humanitarian - reasons,
and, perhaps, if the truth were known, weighty
political reasons likewise, as .imperatively call
for a forward movement, as any demands of
the military situation possibly can. The in
creased vigor lately displayed by the War
Department seems at once an acknowledginent
of the gravity of these reasons, and an assu
rance that they will receive so much considera
tion, that the, campaign can no longer be con
ducted in a dilatory manner.
This is what all classes of oar people ask,
and there can be no certain safety, but in com
pliance. We have a rebel army at home to
disperse ; we have a rebel navy building
abroad te destroy; we have active and; ma
lignant enemies in Europe, whose calculations
- wo must disappoint, and .whose plans we must
defeat. Conscious of the magnitude of the
task, the people have been clamoring for ac
tion. They wish to reach some evidence that
they are approaching the consummation of
their purposes, the recompense of their toils,
and the noble consciousness that their whole
duty has been discharged. They wish to reach
that evidence before the breath of winter has
paralyzed the energies of their armies, and
cast a cloud over the prospects of the nation';
for they have assumed, after the preparations
which so long have been making, that what
cannot be accomplished in autumn will scarce
ly be accomplished after winter has set in.
This assumption, we think, will prove itself
incorrect. Ordinarily, it would be logical and
proper enough as respects a military campaign.
But the present posture of our affairs is not an
•ordinary one, and the Government would seem
to be making extraordinary exertions in ac
cordance therewith. It is undoubtedly true
that a display of activity in the few weeks that
remain to us would do much to reassure the
despondent, if it did nothing else. But there
appears to be another fact now developing it
self in the preparations of the Government,
which will be still more assuring, and the fact
is this, that winter will not be allowed to re
told the operations of our land and naval forces.
The Virginia roads may become impassable,
sbe streams may be bridged with ice, or swol
len into torrents, but the army will not coop
Itself up despairingly in barracks, nevertheless;'
and General Bukssidk, we feel confident, will
grant no truce to the winter. Ihe rebels re
gard this season as their firmest ally. They
look to the summer to decimate our ranks by
pestilence, but they rely upon the winter to
stretch forth his icy sceptre, and stay the pro
gress of our armies altogether. Forced to ac
knowledge the bluff old monarch as an enemy,
the Government seems to be determined that
his power shall be set at naught, and that he
shall lend no assistance, however remote, to
the destruction of the Union.
Even if it were possible, humanity would
forbid a winter campaign in Northern Virginia ;
but it would not be possible, except at such a"
sacrifice as would outweigh the advantages of
almost any success likely to be achieved. The/
Government, well aware of this, seems to have
determined to transfer the theatre, of active
operations farther South, where the rigors of
the winter season will be less felt, and where
the results to be accomplished will have quite
as much effect in shortening lihe duration of
the war. The expedition of General Banks
to Texas, the operations of Genera! Butler
against Mobile, the expedition of General
Foster to Newborn, the movement of troops
in the vicinity of Suffolk, the projected sail
ing of General Hunter’s command for Hilton
Head as soon as a spoil of frost shall kayo
neutralized the danger of yellow fever—all
these indications of activity point to the con
clusion that the military situation is to be
transferred to more Southern latitudes this
winter, and promise every chance of success.
Our troops will have become acclimated in
time for the work of next summer. The
duties of the navy will not be .confined to
blockading and capturing a stray prize vessel,
but will doubtless become sufficiently active
to afford to every seaman a field to wm dis
tinction ; the enemy will be drawn down into
the Cotton States; and the Border States,
freed from his presence, will be restored to
tbeir allegiance; while; the war, assuming its
true proportions in our own eyes, and the eyes
of Europe, will not be regarded as such a gi
gantic and hopeless undertaking as some have
professed to consider it. Perhaps grander'
results may spring from the campaign of this
winter than have yet attended the operations
of our armies. What we have dreaded as a
period of inactivity may bring to us a realiza
tion of all we have toiled, and hoped, and
prayed for. But whether we achieve a deci
sive success within the next throe months or
not, the frosts of winter shall not crack the
temple of our national Union, and, despite
their chilling breath, “ the flower of liberty,”
apostrophized in stirring lines by one of Ame
rica’s most gifted poets, shall blossom in un
faded-beauty.
The Future of Greece.
It was reported in England, when the City
of Baltimore sailed, that the Greeks intended
offering the crown to Prince Alfred, -second
son of the Queen of England. This young
gentleman, a midshipman in the navy, is only
18 years old. One would think that, in Orao
of Bavaria, the Greeks had had quite enough
of boy-monarchs. Besides, by a family ar
rangement, which the other Herman sove
reigns have accepted, Prince Alfred will
succeed to the Grand Duchy of Saxo-Co
hourg-Gotha, on the death of its present ruler,
his uncle, who is childless. We should say
that few sensible men can desire to assume
such a burden as the sovereignty of Greece.
The people are divided among themselves—
North against South—Livadia against the
Morea. Brigandage prevails so extensively,
even close to the few great cities, that Edmund
About’s romance, “ The King of the Moun
tain,” is scarcely exaggerated.in character or
incident. Notwithstanding the apace it covers
on the map, Greece is a small country,
containing an area of only 21,600 square
miles, whereas the area of Pennsylva
nia is 46,000 ‘ square f miles. Its popu
lation is little more than a million. Its
national debt is $118,000,000, partly gua
ranteed by the three great protective Powers
(England,France and Russia),and partly due to
the Rothschilds, and partly to Bavaria. There
is a further large sum due to Messrs. Ricar
do, of London, amount not publicly known.
Fork long time nothing like the full interest
on these debts has been paid. The revenue is
small, and collected with'difficulty. Whatever
foreigner assumes the sovereignty will speedily
find himself in a hornet’s nest, for the Greeks,
much disagreeing in many things, agree in
hating foreign rule. Truly did Byron embody
the popular-feeling in Greece when he sang;
“ Treat not for freedom to the Franca—
They have a king mho bays and sells;
Xn native swords, and native ranks,
The only Jiope of courage dwells:
Bat Tuikish fores, and Latin fraud.
Would break your shield, however broad.”
If .Greece has its own wish realized, its fu
ture form of Government will bo republican.
It has tried monarchy, and found it equally
unsatisfactory and expensive. - The difficulty

head of, the Provisional Government, would
seem a suitable person; but at this distance
it is difficult to-form a correct, opinion, on
premises-but-slightly known. .
: Tbe ? Greek people are known to be in favor
of a Republic; the Greek aristocracy favor a
monarchy. Foreign Powers, it is to be feared,
will endeavor to retain the latter. On the first
news of the Revolution, the British Ambas
sador ,to. s Turkey (our old Washington diplo
maf,'Sir Henry But wee), hastened to Athens,
to await and, perhaps, to guide events, and
English and French squadrons had b.ren at
once ordered to the... HSgeian . It is to be
feared' that the Great Powers of-Europe will
not- allow Greece to regulate her own Govern
ment.'''',' ..
Prince Adeibert, of Bavaria, heir presump
tive to his childless brother, ox-King Otho, is
known to have strong objections to abandon
ing tho Catholic and adopting the Greek re
ligion. If a King, and not a President, is to
replace Otbo, who shall ho be 1 For the reasons
above assigned, Prince Alkeeb, of England,
cannot accept the crown of Greece,- and
the. treaty which placed: Otho on the throne
expressly excludes near members of the So
vereign houses of Russia, Franco, and Eng
land. Sheer ignorance asserts that this new
Greek .Revolution, was caused by: tho in
trigues of Russia—seeing that, to all
intents and purposes, 1 Greece has been
little be'tter than a Russian province,
these last.fifteen years. There was a whisper
that Prince Leutchenbero would probably be
declared King of Greece. He is connected,
by the imperial houses
of Rushia'- and France, and 'would therefore
he acceptable to both. On the .other hand,
the Count of : Flanders, 1 second son of
Leopold of Belgium, and first cousin of
Victoria of England, is mentioned as a
suitable person to succeed Otho, who, when
informed that he had been deposed in
his absence, instead of returning to Athens,
to . maintain his position, immediately em
barked for .Venice, and, when last heard of,
was safe in Vienna, with his wife; the-proxi
mate cause of his misfortune. That an Euro
pean Congress should select the future ruler of
Greece must seem a great outrage upon national
independence, but the monarchies of Europe
have such a dreadful fear of republicanism
that they will probably settle this Greek ques
tion, as before, with little respect for the feel
ings or the wishes of the people:most con
cerned. In any event, Greecq has every
chance of being dictated to j and of not having
her own way. ;
Recognition.
The South appears to have arrived at the con
clusion that the war will be carried on without
any' European recognition. The Richmond
Examiner frankly says, “The prospect of
European intervention has dissolved like a
snow-wreath, 55 and “ the British Government
will in no way, and at no time during the con
tinuance of this war, recognize the Southern
Confederacy as one of the independent
Powers of - the earth, or interfere to limit the
duration of this war. 55 It grounds this belief
on the decided declaration of Sir G. G.
Lewis, at the Hereford dinner, that the South
“ has not yet accomplished her independence. 55
Mr. Gladstone having declared that Jeffer
son Davi3 had made the South “ a great na
tion,- 55 it is probable that Lord Pamdeksi-on,
himself evading the declaration of a counter
opinion, authorized his Secretary of War,
(Lewis,) to speak thus against Gladstone, in
public. The Richmond papers fall in to a com
mon error when they speak of recognition as
identical with intervention. In international
law,they are very distinct. Recognition simply
admits that a country has wrought out her own
independence. Intervention is a more prac
tical and tangible affair—a positive aid, by
physical means, to tho country that has been
recognized. “I believe,”- A. says to 8.,
“ that, being in possession, you are owner of
the house you -live in, and shall- be as neigh
borly with you as, 1 can. 55 By-and-bye, B.
writes to A., “ I fear that I cannot keep pos
session of the house. - Send me a dozen men
with bludgeons, that ! inay hold on, with their
aid. 55 Does A. comply ? By no means, but
answers, “My dear A., if you cannot hold
what yon have, it is entirely out of the (ques
tion that I should put myself into hot water,
on your account. 55 It is obvious that recogni
tion and intervention are not identical. 'The
first is an idea; the other is a fact. . !
The Temper of the People.
Among the points to which we shall have
to call the attention of our British friends,
after• the war, is the singular fidelity with,
which all their anticipations of riots, re
bellious demonstrations, and knock-downs
generally, in our large cities, whenever there
might be the slightest pretext for a row, have
been fulfilled. We are a “licentious mob,”
“ an agrarian democracy,” « disorganizes,”
“ contemners of law,” and whoever could
obtain control of the army not only could,
but would, overrun the country, reduce it to
subjection, and rule with a despot’s hand.
Thus far in the course of the war two signal
instances have occurred which must work a
great change in the preconceived opinions and'
the traditional ideas of Europeans in regard to
temper of the American people. Twice it has
happened that a general commanding a large
number of troops, and regarded with love and
adoration not only by Lis men, but by a large
constituency in civil life, has been suddenly,
by a single stroke.of the pen, removed from
his position of splendor and power to private
life. - When Fremont was superseded in
Missouri, he was the idol of his soldiers and
the admiration of the whole Western public,
who believed him their only stay and support. 8
On the eve, as it was then supposed, of im
portant victories, just as he was about, per
sonally, to commence in good earnest the
execution of the plans he had been long and;
industriously maturing, bo was removed from
his command. His partisans were furious.
They attributed his fall to the machinations of
traitors and demagogues. His friends wore
grieved and indignant. They saw nothing
but injustice, partisan hatred, and personal
insult in the act. The journalists were
crimson with rage, or jubilant with suc
cess, as they took one side or the other.
The whole' country was in a tumult
of excitement. -Yet, notwithstanding, all
this, there was not only no outbreak,'
no riot, no revolt, either military or civil,
but there was not the slightest sugges
tion of organized opposition to the will of
the commander-in-chief of the army. As for
Fremont himself, he quietly mounted his
horse, turned over his command, and rodo to
St. Louis, whither ho had been ordered.
Within the last few days we have had even
a more striking instance of the same kind.
General McClellan has been in precisely the
same position that we have described above,
only with a larger army, a more extended
personal influence, a more brilliant military
reputation,and a large) powerful, and victorious■'
political party at his back, who have worked for
a year and a half to force him into political
prominence by blazoning his military sue-,
cesses, and coining political capital out of
his exalted position. General McClellan
also is removed on the eve, as it is alleged, of
the completion of his plans. What does he
do? He simply turns oyer his command, says
a few simple words of parting to his veteran
soldiers) gets ou tho train, and repairs, in the
most unostentatious manner, to the post to
which he was ordered. The people quietly
acquiesce in the change. Here and there we
hear a surly murmur—but among the people
all is quiet.
Now, where is the mob spirit ? Where is
the uDscrupulousness of political leaders, the
unrestrained ambition of military leaders ?
We fail to see anything of the sort. We
think that in these instances the people have
vindicated their reputation as lovers of law
and order, and that Fremont and McClellan
have both endeared themselves to the Ame
rican people by their manliness and their
soldierly bearing under the most trying cir
cumstances that can befall the leaders of a
great army and the objects of a world’s con
templation.
A New “ Tale of Two Cities.”
The. exultation with which New York
hailed the announcement, as a result of the
Census of 1860, that its population was
805,651, as against 561,529, said to be the
population of Philadelphia, was too boisterous
and is too recent to be readily forgotten. We
contended at the time, from unquestionable
data, that the enumeration of the people was
taken in this city with great carelessness, in
many instances, and that the correct total
could not have been less than 650,000, at the
admitted rate per cent, of increase, espe
cially as the city bounds had been extended,
since 1850.: On the other hand, New York
“Ihousands doing business in that city for'a'
few hours each day, but residiug in Long!
Island, West Chester county, New Jersey;
and along the banks of the Hudson, all which
places were also credited with these persons
in Targe numbers. If the enumeration in both
cities had been made on the ’common sense
plan of employing a sufficient force to count
up, on a certain day, all who had slept in a
place oh the preceding night, so that no per
son could be twice counted, (this is the prac
tice.-in France and England,) we believe that
the population of New York, as fairly shown
by that exact mode of enumeration, would
have been sohie 700,000, as against 650,000 for
Philadelphia.:- -Before the Census was taken,
New York, swaggered very considerably at its
immense population, which was set down, by
guess-work and bragging, at a million of human
beings, at least.
The exigencies of the war required that, all
over, the Union, there 'should be a draft of
fighting men, in proportion to the compara
tive population 'of each State, county, city,
town, and '.village. There: has- been no draft
in Philadelphia, because the required number,
and considerably more, had volunteered. New.
York, not having obeyed the call of patriotism
anti duty in this manner, is liable to the draft,
which was to have taken place on Monday,
but has been deferred, though apparently in
evitable, for a few days. It has equally sur
prised and amused us te find, a Now York
journal declaring that, though New-York is
probably five to ten thousand behind,-and
Brooklyn also in arrear, the draft should not
be made in those cities, for “there has been
no draft in either Boston or Philadelphia; and
should not bo in Now York or Brooklyn.”
The fact,'that Boston and Philadelphia
avoided the draft, (which the authority just
quoted designates “as a great humbug
and nuisance,”) by the plain process of
supplying more than their quota, before
the time of drafting came, and that New York
and Brooklyn are behind, settles the point, a
reasonable man would think. Let us supposo
that four men were under an
gation to pay a private debt or a public tax on
or before a certain day, and that Jones and
Smith did make this payment in fall time, while
Brown and Robinson had only paid part of it,
can the twolast claim exemptionfrom handing
out the balance which they owe, because the
two first; who paid in full at the proper sea
son, have no further indebtedness ? He would
be a strange logician who should arguo thus.
That there should not be a draft in .New
York is very true; ihere sftoafi not be, and
there would not be, if New York had displayed
the same active and ready .patriotism which
enabled Philadelphia and-Boston to avoid the
draft, by volunteering.: Perhaps, had the
population of New York been properly written
down by the census-takers, that city would be
found to have volunteered up to her quota, on
that true figuring. .New; York has, on paper,
a far larger population than it was entitled to
be credited with, and must now submit to a
draft, in proportion. There is great retribu
tive justice, after all, in this matter. New
York, like the frog in the fable, tried to swell
itself above its follows out of all proportion,
and has so collapsed in the process that all it
can now say % there has been no draft in
Philadelphia or Boston, (cities which antici
pated or prevented it by volunteering,) and;
therefore, tbero eught to be no draft in New
York. Instead of croaking over the draft, let
New York prevent it, even at the eleventh
hour, by volunteering. This wouldbe the manly
and honorable, as it is in truth, the only prac
tical way to escape the so-called “great nui
sanco aDd humbug. 55

THE PRESS—PHILADELPHIA. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 14. 1862.
The triumph of the emancipation policy of
President Lincoln in Missouri, which from
the last accounts seems to be assured, is
worth to the country at least as much as a
great victory in the field of battle. It is now
estimated that we .have six of the nine mem
bers of Congress, and ten majority on joint
ballot in the Legislature, which secures the
election of two emancipationists to the Senate
of the United States. The leader in the
great struggle in Missouri was undoubtedly
Senator John S. Henderson, a Douglas Demo
crat, who, from the time he left his seat prior
to the close of the last sessidh of Congress,
has devoted himself to the most earnest sup
port of the President’s offer to the Border
States. ' ... : y
As early as last August I saw a letter from
Mr. Henderson in which he confidently pre
dicted this decision. "This result in Missouri
must be the result in the other Border States,
The Secessionists and traitors having left these
States, and having taken with them their,
slaves, the loyal people arc now left to vote,
unawed, upon the President’s generous offer.
So you will perceive that this offer, like the pro
clamation ot emancipation, is not a mere paper
proffer, according to the Now York Herald and
the London Times, but has been accepted by
the people of tbe Border States as a substantial
proposition The proclamation is producing
actual results in the Cotton States. It terri
fies the Richmond Junta. It is rapidly making
Texas and Louisiana free, and in a short time
Maryland, Kentucky, and Tennessee will be
enrolled by the side of Missouri. Delaware
will, of course,’ come in, in spite of the lottery
influence, which has given the slaveholders
the control of the Legislature, and defeated
Fisher for Congress. And Virginia is more
than half in favor of emancipation, the
healthiest section being ours by public opinion,
and the eastern section by force of arms.

A General Naval Ordet,
■■At n naval general court martial, convened at the navy
yard, New Fork, on the 16th ol October last, Captain
Guert Gansevoort, of the navy,: was tried on the fol
lowing chargejgpreferred against him by the Secretary of
the Navy::, ,
“Charge —Suffering a vessel of the navy to be run
upon o, rook through negligence..
*■ Specification —lnline, that on or about the twenty
third car of August, in the year eighteen hundred-and
Bixty* two, th e paid Gf ptain Overt Gansevoobt, being
then in’ command of the United States steamer Adiron
dack, did, through negligence, suffer the said vessel to be
rnh uppn a rock-ana wrecked near Mm of’War Bey,
Little Bahamas.”
Upon this charge and specification the judgment of the
court was as followe:
Occasion An.
“ After fnll and mstnre deliberation in the premises,
the court doth find that tbe specification of the charge is ;
not proven, and that of the charge Captain Ggbkt Gan
skvoout is not guilty ” ’ ;
The judgment of the court in this case does not re
quire confirmation by the.revlsing power to give it effect,
so far as to exempt the accused from any farther pro
ceedings againet him; and the Department would have
no desire to deprive .Captain Gansevoort individuaily or
the benefit of this verdict of scqnittai. Bat I cannot, by
approving'or cot firming the judgment or the courtTlend
official sanction to the decision that a ship of war may he
lost and the Uvea of her officers and’crew placed in im
minent jeopardy, as- the evidence shows, by negligent
navigation, and yet the commanding officer be relieved,
from all responsibility. To devolve this responsibility
upon the subordinate officers, and exempt tho command
er, would leave the latter without inducement to see and
insistthat those subject to bis command and instructions
perform their whole duty . Where all perform their duty,
the commanding officer receive at least his foil share of
credit for ft well-managed or weil-fought ship. It is,
therefbre’not unjust to hold him to account for tho con
sequences of negligence, occurring at a time and in a sea
where unußuat core and vigilance were imperatively de
manded. GIDE'JN WELLE3,
Secretary of tho Navy.

An Important Order.
An Authorized Contradiction
A Striking Fact
IMPORTANT FROM NASHVILLE.
THE REBEL ATTACK Off THAT CITY.
FULL REPORT BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
REPULSE OF THE REBEL TROOPS,
BBAVEET OF GEN. NKGLE7 AND H 23 ARMY.
(.Special Correspondence of The Prssa-]
NAgaYiM.K (Tena ), Nov. 0, 1862.
The rebels bare at last made a demonstraflow upon
this city. For the past three or four days, the Secsssion
iatshere have been exceedingly hilarious, and some sff the
more bold of that class have made bets that Nash
ville ( weuia fait before the arrival of Eosecrans. I heard
a-man eay, on Sunday night last, that the Immsnse rail
road bridge which spans the Cumberland would sufi’er
.the same fato that, the same BUjjbture did in February,
before another Sabbath-came around. : ‘ -
We are so used to rebel bombast, however, that as far
as lam concerned no serious attention was paid to the
stereotj ped rumors.
But,'notwithstanding, a bona fide attack was mads
upon ns yesterday morning. About two o'clock, A. M.,
our pickets were driven in upon the Murfreesboro,
Franklin, and and more or less ekir
mlsliing ensued, until our men arrived tender cover of
our forts.
Hardly had they effected their escape, when the
enemy brought out two twelve.poondera nponthe Mur
freesboro pike, in fnll view of our gunners upon St.
Cloud Hill; and commenced firing away, the first shot
striking at a distance of a quarter of a mile from the
base of the devotion.
At tho same time two-guns, which were not visible,
opened upon us from the Franklin pike. The guns upon
tbe Murfreesboro road, after the first two shots, directed
their fire towards General Palmer’s .camp, occasionally
kicking up quite a dust within musketshot of tho Gene
ral’s headquarters. •
Finding that they could accomplish nothing in that
location, and fearing to advance closer, the rebels di
rected their fire toward Mr. ’John Trimble's residence;
and, after: several shots; succeeded in unroofiog the'
einoke.hoHSeqpon. his grounds, and producing quite a
oommoticn among his stock and negroes. ■
Simultaneously with these demonstrations of the rebels
upon the pikes leading from South Nashville, Morgan,
at the head of about 2,500 - cavalry, came dashing down
the Gallatin pike, and through Edgefield, capturing all
of onr pickets across the river, consisting of companies
B, F, and G of the 51st Illinois Begiment, and sending
them to the rear. It . was the intention of Morgan, ,no
doubt, to destroy the railroad bridle, at least, thinking
that onr attention was wholly absorbed by the events
which were transpiring in South Nashville. But, before
the- rebels arrived within gunshot, 001. Smith’s Begi
ment, which is encamped in Edgefield, was in line of
battle, most of his men having but little clothing oh.
Morgan, however,: persisted in his attempt to obtain
possession of tho bridge. Seeing this, Colonel Smith or
dered his men to fire, an aot which was quiokiy returned,
by the rebels, a portion of whom dismounted, and as
sistedin placing a howitzer in position, whfoli bad just
’ arrived.: At thiß junoture, Golonel Wood, with ht 3 regi
ment, arrived, and formed in line of battle, and Lient.
Beech, who has charge of the guns near the; bridge upon
this side of the river, brought his pieces to bear upon
Morgan, who, perceiving it, beat a retreat, leaving six
killed and nineteen"wounded. Our loss wai one' killed
and eleven wounded—two severely. V Lieut. Frazer, of
Company F, 51st Illinois,"lost Ms sight arm, Morgan
destroyed an old building near the Edgefield depot, and
several brokon-down cars which were standing upon the
track; as on evidence, I suppose, that he had been
aronnd. ■
During all this time, tho rebels upon the Southern
pikes wore still firiDg at onr forts, but 'as yet had been
unanswered, General.Negley hoping that the artillery,
With adequate snpport, might be induced-to advance.
After a reasonable time, however, he gave Capt. White
orderß to discharge a few; shells in that direction from his
thirty-two-penrders, and almost immediately three of
the Bodman guns opened, and at the fourth fire dis
mounted one of the enemy’s pieces, the other being
taken to the woods. The guns were than turned in the
direction ol the Franklin pike, and quite a brisk
cannonading took place between the rebels at that
and the guns of Fort Negley. By this time General
Palmer advanced: about a mile'upon the Murfreesbo
ro pike, with two regiments of infantry, and two
pieces of artillery, and after forming his column into
line- of battle'commenced shelling the woods upon both
sides of the road, and advanced slowly up the pise,"'
mai chirg a regiment upon each side of the road. Colons!
Wood-taking the left and advance. This was the last I
- saw of the doings in that direction, as General Negley
ordered three regiments of infantry—the 69rh Ohio, Colo
nel OassiUy; 14th Michigan, Colonel Wood, and the 78th
Pennsylvania, 001. Sinvdl—Stokes’ Cavalry. 7th Penn
sylvania Cavalry, Colonel Wynboop, and portions of two
batteries of artillery, under Captains Hanghtaiing and
Marshall,'the Genefal taking command in person. The
whole force moved with alacrity upon the pike towards
Franklin; the batteries shelling the woods upon both
ssdes of the line of march, Colonel Wynkoop’s battalion
acting as skirmishers. -- :
After proceeding about two miles the General ordered
two pieces of artillery to be placed upon a hill of fine
command, and masked. As no enemy, was seen, they
were subsequently removed, and shortly afterward ar
rived with the column.
About five miles from tho city is the residence of Mr.
John Overton, a wealthy, rebel, who, in a epsoch de
livered in this city a year ago last June, said "he was
worth .five millions of dollars, ail of which should be
sacrificed in tho establishment of a Southern Confede
racy. As the, column approached the house of this rebel
a large body of the enemy’s cavalry were seen resting upon
-
' which time tho main body moved slowly and rested at
intervals, making a final halt about eight miles from the
city, when they were soon joined by Stokes, who had
captured eleven prisoners and ninety bead of battle. ‘'■
Genirri Negley immediately gave., orders to return,
Stokes’ cavalry taking the right,' and Col. oas silly the
rear.'
, We had- proceeded but a short distance when an or
derly dashed among the General’s staff offlesrs, informing
Negley that a large force of the enemy were about a mile
distant, on onr right and front, resting in a ravine.
The whoie body moved at double quick, and In a mo
ment tho entire fence upon the right for a quarter of a
; mile, comedown with a crash, by the Fourteenth Michi
gan. Marshall’s battery got a position first, but as the
view was obstructed .by a dense cinmp of .trees, it was
limbi red np and moved to abetter location. In the mean
time Col, Sinveli skirmished to the right, and received a
volley from the enemy, bat not until Haaghtsliog’s bat
lery had threwn four shells, the first pieoe being dis
charged exactly seven minutes alter the General received
the news of tho rebel 'situation. Bnt a few moments
elapsed before tbe Wiard guns, which did such good
service at Shiloh, under Capt. Marshall, got to work,
and both batteries threw at least forty shells before the
enemy made any artillery demonstration; but when they
got at it, they worked lively; throwing solid shot, which
fell fast among onr men. causing many a head ,to dodge
as they went whirling, whizzing, cracking, and humming
: through the air. They threw solid shot mostly , their de
sign being to dismount our guns, knowing thatour de
fences in the city would be injured by the loss of even
one gun.
The cannonading was very brisk for about an hour.
At the expiration of that time, the rebels threw a few
shells, one of which burst over a tree in front of where
the general and his staff ware standing, fragments of
which dropped among the party, one piece tearing a hole
in the general’s pants, and another pieco actually taking
off a shoulder strap from the coat of one of his staff
officers- -
During tbe firing Colonel Wynkoop’s men acted as
. skirmishers upon the left, their experience over the
State makir g them proficient in that critical dnty.
Colonel Stokes’whole force occupied a position across
a field, about a sixth of a mile in the rear of onr bat
teries; Colonel Sinveli’s regiment skirmished upon the
right, while the 69th Ohio supported Captain Marshall’s
guBB, and the 14th Michigan the battery of Captain
Haughteding. Although the enemy’s shots were rather
distasteful, as far I saw, everybody behaved well.
I saw General Nogley, and conversed with him several
times daring the fight, and he expreßßed Mb delight and
satisfaction at the behavior of his troops, speaking very
highly of the captains of the two batteries, upon the
manner in which they changed positions.
The old veteran Colonel Wynkoop has got used to tho
roaring of gunpowder, and exhibited the coolness which
is his 'second nature. XBawa bal! strike about five yards
in front of and pass over his head, leaving
dnst on his cap. . ,
Colonel OassiUy, of the ,69th Ohio, and Ms adjutant
(Boynton), formerly an actor attached to the Boston
Theatre, behaved first rate. i
At least a dozen balls struck in front of Stokes’ cavalry,
some bounding over them, and others rolling under the
legs of Heir horses, bnt no man left his position or ex
hibited perceptible uneasiness.
Tbe movements of‘the enemy and the progress of ‘
the battle showed conclusively that the rebels were in
large force, and had atleast twice. the number of gnus
we had. The General shifted his -position, after an
hour’s fighting, every five minutes, fighting Ms
way till under cover of onr foiUflcsitions, when the
enemy retired. . .y.-.y
All of our first half dozen shells exploded In the midßt
of the enemy, and their loss mast have-been at least two
hundred killed and wounded. Our prisoners say twenty
five or thirty were killed and wounded: at onr first fire,,
wMch took them unawares; We lost three killed, eleven
wounded, none missing, and took upwards of a. hundred
prisoners, among whom seven officers.
. The whole affair was ably. conducted; and reflected
. great credit upon the general in command. : B. C. T.

An Interesting Case Bel&ktn to
THE GERMANTOWN WATER WORKS.— Testerday,
in the Court of Ocmmou Pleas, before Judge Lcdlo*, the
case of the Germantown Water Compear Y 8 War. Me-
Galium, on a motion for ah irjancMoii to rejjtraintbe de
fendant from emptying the refuse matter feoarhia mill,
on Crab Creels, two miles above the works of the com
pany, was called tip. The hill filed by the company, an
abstractor which has been published, was read r and also
a large number of affidavits by citizens and residents in
support of the allegations in the bill. It is deponed that
the refuse matter from McOallam’a mill fibats oaths
enrfaee of the water, and has the appearance “of soup
from a bone boiler’s establishment.” The offensive smell
and taste of the water was also set forth. In reply, the
affidavit of McCollum was first read. The material aHe
gationsia this affidavit are as follows:
He is and has for moro than thirty years been engaged
in the manufacture of carpets and other woolen goods at.
the milt or fectory situate on the head-waters of a small
rivulet or runVcaled Crab? creek ; that on the 18th of
Himrober, 1831, the deponent and his brother purchased
the building,- which had been for many years used as a
wool factory, and twenty acres of land appurtenant
thereto, andteommenced. the business 'of-manufacturing
carpets and similar goods, in all its branches from the
raw wool to the finished article : The deponent has been
informed and believes that previously .to the year 1813 a
factory for of oU had existed in pre
mises, and that in that year, or thereabout?, a cotton
mill was established thereon, which was changed some
years later into the wool factory above mentioned.
From the time of the purchase of tha said wool
factory and premises by the deponent and his
brother, in 1831, until the commencement of the
present suit, deponent has been constantly engaged
in the manufacture of carpets and similar goods therein,
and had used the water of the said rivulet for the pur
pose of making steam for the engine driving the ma
chinery of the factory, and for dyeing and scouring the
wool employed in the said manufacture, and for all other
purposes incident thereto, and has discharged the water
remaining after such use, into the channel of the said ri
vulet again; at pleasure, without let, hindrance, inter
ruption, or objection, on the part of the plaintiff, or any
one else. Deponent further B&Uh,that though it is true
that the factory has been employed in part for the last
two months in the manufacture of army blankets, under
a contract made by the firm with the Government of the
United States; yet that it is not true that the said firm or
bimeelf, or any of i hem. or any agents of either of them,
caused or suffered any substance, matter, or thing to pass
into the water of said rivulet other than they and be had
been accustomed to do for more than thirty years past, in
the ordinary course of their manufacture and business.
Be further saith that the wool which has been la use at
/the factory, during the whole period complained of, for the
army blankets, ia cleaned, and contains less foreign and
refUß© matter than that -ordinarily used in making car
pets; that ;tbe ; entire process of manufacturing these
blankets is the same as that for the making of carpets,
save that the blankets are scoured after weaving, while
the carpet yam is scoured before, ai difference arising
from the fact that carpets do not need foiling, whilst
blankets do, and that the process of scouring expedites
the fulling.- He farther says that the materials used for
dyeing and scouring the army' blankets are the same as
those used in the same process for the carpet yarn; bat
that the aggregate amount of dye-stuff used for she blan
kets is far lees than for a similar'weight of carpet yarn,,
because more than two* third* of the wool for blankets is.
not dy ed st all, being left of its natural color..
Beforence is also made to the fact that blankets had
been manufactured in 1881* without complaint from
plaintiff. •
Affidavits in regard to the condition of the water were
next read; and some of the affidavits attributed the bad
qualities to rn&t in the pipeß of the water company.
.George Streeper, in the employment of defendant from
1835 to 1866, as superintendent of the dyeing aud scour
ing, said the materials employed in dyeing and scouring
were taose used in all similar establishments for the same
purpose. The mordants were solutions of iron, tin, and
alnm. The dye-woods were Lima wood, fustic, logwood,
Quercitron bark; tbe factory also used lac dye, cochineal,
cream of tartar, and sulphate of indigo as dyestuffs; the
scouring was done with soap, or with, soda and potash.
John D. Kraus, who has been in the employment of
the defendant in attending to the farm and other out
door work of the premises, deposes that he knows the
condition of the water in Crab creek; it is subject to the
waste and drainage' of a large number of bairn yards,
privies, those of the factory and others, also of the Ger
mantown turnpike, Orestaim road, and other roads;
much of this drainage falls into it above tbe mill: ab ;ve
the grounds of McOaHum the springs arise in swampy
grounds not under drained; the water coming from these
grounds is, in very dry weather, saturated with offensive
matter from the swamp to such an extent as to be wholly
unfit to drink; in cases of rain, the wash from the barn
yaids of Mr. Biley, Mr Hallowell, Mr. Lutfeil, Mr.
Yates, Mr! Godfrey, and Mr. McOaHum, falls into the
bed of tbeßtream above tbe mill; several other barn
yords drain into it below; some of the mare Carpenter’s,
Clinton’s, Johnson’s, and others; about the middle of
September a very hi avy raiu occurred, which washed a
large qushHty of offensive matter into the stream.
The affidavits of William Dunlap and George Brodss,
policemen, of Germantown, were also read, and they de
posed to the stagnant water at the dam of the Water
Company, on the Ist of October, where deponents were
searching for, and found, the body of a woman in the
water.
The case was fully argued yesterday and submitted to
the court.
