THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1868 UM OF THE TONAL CCorre3pondence oflTVhAer.Pß:::]°s' Vs,, Oct. 22, 1863 THE ROMANTIO ISIOSEBY. Last Sunday I rode from Alexandria to Bull Run. It was my misfortune to meet with Moseby, and my good fortune not to be captured. - I was gaily gal loping along the turnpike thinking of this very in dividual, little imagining him to be the devil that wduld soon appear. As I mounted my horse I observed upon the newly whitewashed wall - of the building a notice written in great scrambling letters, similar to what a boy would compare the autograph of Jack. Sheppard, written upon the parlor wall of a plundered mansion; The writer "Begged leave to inform the people of Alexandria" that he had this day "dined in the Marshall House." On the same line with the date, " September 30, 1663," was plain ly written ' "MAJOR MOSEBY." Wondering very mush if this bandit had been here, and 11 he had slept in the room on the same landing%where Ellsworth was killed, I failed to no tice an defter' cavalryman, who was hastily tolling me *ha. the, individual who now troubled my mind so much might trouble me for my purse, my watch— hay, more--Myaelf. I paid leis attention to this in. foimationtbandid Loolaiel to the forewarnings of the plaided and bonneted seer. Soon I came to a company Of the 2d Nevr Jersey Cavalry, and was quietly pa;t4ii,gt:Rlien twenty five intl,in gray home. spun swag, froni tit* bunk;.iihotta sergeant through the thigh . ..ainli..'„ealiti ired ~Captain Gallagher, after shooting Ma houre. 'They effected their escape. The not drilled, men were not drilled, but one or two had pistols, and I think they should have rescued their captain. They did not. Two or three trains turned back, and I was elasgst persuaded that it would be impossible to get thintigh to Fairfax. I started, however, and galloped through in a ehort time. Moseby has a d e n in the forest. He captured a man in the 106th Pennsylvania the last time the 2d Corps crossed the Rappahannock. This man wandered of into the woods about one hundred and fifty yards, when a little man stepped adroitly from behind the cover of a huge oak, resenteeta revolver to the soldier's head, and Intimated for him to keep quiet. All this time the ird Corps was slowly filing along the road within "eight et Moseby and his prisoner. He led him by secret and unknown paths to a lair in the moun tains where were other prisoners, sutlers' wagons; and other scamps engaged in the same nefarious calling. Every one living in this portion of Virginia would die to serve this man. They are his look outs, his pickets, his vedettes. Nothing passes their doors but is teen by them, and . information sent - to Moseby. He gives them a share of the plunder. A few miles from Anandale, on the road leading to Fairfax, stands a comfortable-looking frame build ing, with the usual Southern outbuildings. It is but a little over two months since one of our soldiers - - • stood at the front dour fit this hound And shot those-• by. Every one thought the wound fatal. A friend took him to Upperville, where he was carefully nursed by Mrs. Moseby, and now he is waylaying people cn this same load. He can never be cap• turgid by cavalry. All last winter Stahl's cavalry were busily engaged in hunting him. We could at tend to a brigade of Stuart's cavalry much easier than he. His haunt is about Upperville. One hum• dred good men marched there after night, and sta: tioned round the building, would be sure to take him. In the day time his friends in the different farmhouses are alert and watchful he is warned, and immediately flies to some place inaccessible to cavalry.- LEE'S FAILURE-RECONNOITRING THO- ROUGHFARE GAP Lee would not fight us at Bull Run, He chose rather to flee back to Gordonsville, where he will soon be. He has gained nothing by the trip, and his loss is heavier than will be acknowledged. If be designed getting possession of Centreville, he failed; his desperate assaults upon our wagon trains were futile, and I know he has not the possession of Thoroughfare Gap, for I have been there and en countered no rebels. The last attack upon our train was about three miles north of the Occoquan, and was handsomely repulsed by Maj. Anderson,with six com panies of- the l'ith Penna. Cavalry. Portions of the 6th and 9th Virginia Cavalry were the assailants. By reason of their superior numbers they were able to flank our men, who quickly changed front to the river, and drove them precipitately away. Monday morning, about daylight, the army began to cross Cub Run. It rained rapidly, , while the wind seemed to blow through youreorrespondent, who sat shiver ing upon his :item, wondering if he would be en titled to a' pentiOn should he contract the intlarnma• tory theumatipm4r some.other infirmity, while in quest of newer Near Bristow Station the men de ployed to the right and the left of the railroad, loaded their rifles, and remained there impassable all the'day. ,Soon the rib" ceased, and the warm, bright sunshine began to play among the stacks of glittering bayonets. After waiting long enough to rest, and give the rebels a good opportunity to get out of our reach, we started again,"General Buford's division of cavalry .in advance, feeling the way to ThorqUghfare Gap. On arriving at the entrance of the pass, "Major Anderson, with six companies Of the 17th Pennsylvania Cavalry:advancedcautiously into the narrow defile, Major Darling following after, with the reserve, ready to support as soon as neces sary. Only fifteen men had been lest here as a pick et. They were all captured. Far in the distance could be seen over a dozen rebel wagons, but ere'our men could overtake them they had gone from our gaze, and were safe. The 9th New York had gone to White Plaine. No vestige of the enemy was found, save a solitary lookout, who said he belonged to Moseby , s band. The Second Corps was far in the rear of the cavalry. It was impossible for men to get along rapidly over each miserable roads. FORDING A STREAM--_LUDICROUS INCI. =EI At Milford we forded Broad run for the first time, Before we reached Auburn it was waded twice more. I knew the water must be very cold, but I could not refrain from smiling at the different man ner in which the men encountered this difficulty. Some took shoes and stockings off, and stepped daintily over with their 'pants rolled above the knee ; others plunged heedleasly in, and .wllen they reached the other side sat * down upon the grass, elevating their feet high above their heads to let the Water run freely from theirboot-tops. Each man, as his feet touched the chilly water, gave utterance to some ejaculation. so that a continual succession of exclamations was to be heard on this side the stream, while all was still upon the farther bank. In the army everything that approaches the lu dicrous draws from the men roars of laughter, stores of wit, lots of stories of Similar occurrences. If the unlucky wight grows angry so much the better, the jokers laugh the more. In both armies it is the same. I remember on the Rapidan one of our men was very eager to effect an exchange of newspapers. It had been raining almost all morning, and the steep bank of the river was slimy and slippery. Our soldier "slid be did," and as soon as his head emerged upon the top of the water amid a thousand dancing hub• bles, the rebels opposite raised a shout of applause, very annoying to the trader. He became much in ceneed. One rebel inquired, in a soothing and apolo getic manner, " Wouldn't you feel* tickled if I had fell that way'!" "Yes 1" roared the dripping soldier, " I'd laugh if you drowned yoUreelf." As we were fording Broad Run amounted . officer's horse stum bled and threw him into the muddy stream. If he had captured a battery he could not have been greeted with a heartier cheer, when emerging front the smoke of battle, than that which saluted his ears as soon as they got above water. The next was a con traband. He spurred a very small, mallmous-look ing mule into the run. His feet were held carefully above the water, and I noticed many a barefooted soldier looking enviously upon the rider of the mule. Poor mule! he was covered with canvas tents, pro- Vender, and provisions-4hp wardrobe and kitchen furniture of a regiment—while with the jolly grin of a Puck,=the contraband looked complacently over all:`‘The: animal tripped; he fell. His great burden was fastened tightly to his body, and, despite his struggles, he sank, and upon the dethroned contra band. Not a man offered sympathy or aid. They all halted to laugh. Every one hisd - his witticism. Some bet on the mule ; a few on the man, At length both came out alive, and the incident was the subject of much mirth that night, at many a camp fire. They seemed not to know, "Of all the cares that harass the distressed, Sore the most bitter is a, scornful lest.' BIVOUAC. Night began to settle down upon us. Instead of becoming dispirited-the men straightened up, shifted their knapsacks, and began trilling all sorts of dit ties. Auburn, the scene of the late attack upon the 2d and 3d Corps, was soon reached. Far off in the distance, the dancing light of the camp-fires was visible. The old soldiers knew they would soon hi• vouac—the new ones were so weary they almost ceased to think. At this moment I was riding at the head of the 106th Pennsylvania, when the first company began singing in a style that would have been loudly encored In our best concert saloons. The air was unmistakably that of John Brown, but the words must have been improvised, for I never re member seeing in that familiar song - the distich : - `• Wich eight days' rations strapped upon our back, We go marching on !" Lying on the road, with a few spadesful of moist clay over him, lay a soldier belonging to the 146th Pennsylvania. He lost his life on this Same spot last week. 'I saw him exhumed—a horrible sight ! The men gathered around, and in the very presence of decay and death—their nostrils filled with the disagreeable odor of mortality—they laughed ; they jested ; removed the corpse from its shallow pit to the deeper one they had prepared for its reception ; then went their way, each one eager to- rejoin his pastime, utterly careless of the morrow. WHAT THE ENEMY HAVE DONE, I reached Warrenton Thursday. Our vedettes were almost to the river. Some of our scouts have actually crossed the Rappahannock, and I think the enemy are now reposing in Culpeper. They must reed rest and food, for they got little of either since they crossed on our right, near Madison Court House. All the damage they could inflict upon the Orange and Alexandria Railroad was done. A few rails were torn up near to Warrenton, but we can soon repair every injury. Our pickets have disco vered some 'rebels on this side. It is thought that they have not destroyed the bridge, and that they wish to delay our advance to do so. THE FIGHT NEAR LIBERTY. BICALTON STATION, Ott. 25, 1663. The army has been breathing a day or two. ITn• fortunately, the weather ceases, to rest , with us. Now that activity .1,1 to feciommence and hostilities • • be renewed the weather grows disagreeable—mud and water in bountiful profusion. Still the army will go on. Yesterday the Ist Maine and 2d Penneyl• Yenta Cavalry drove the rebels into the earthworks on the Rappahannock . . Thrice the enemy sallied forth, thrice they ran their guns into the port.tholes of the fortifications ; but toward nightfall Colonel Gregg withdrew his men, while Colonel Davin, of Buford's brigade, who was ordered to support Gregg, rested that eight at Liberty, a small village' about a mile and a half from Bcalton. Next morning at daylight two divisions of rebs and one division of Stuart's Cavalry were seen advancing. Devin withdrew about three miles, to an open place in the dense forest between the Rapprshannook and Cul. peper. If Colonel Devin had been supported by a corps of infantry we might have captured thousands of ;the enemy. OASITALTIES Major Taggart, 24 Pennsylvania, wounded. Lieutenant Smith, Ist Maine, wounded. Corporal Rhodes, 2d Pennsylvania, mortally. Corporal Stone, 2d Pennsylvania. Corporal Fellenbaum Corporal Lawrence, 24 Pennsylvania, wounded George Irving, 24 Pennsylvania, wounded. Mark Ward, 24 Pennsylvania, wounded. John Brimer, 2d Pennsylvania, wounded. Here the men were arrayed for fight, and the pieces unlimbered for action. After reaching Liberty the rebels withdrew, having eaten every. thing they could get. While we were retiring, Private Adams J. Davis, of the 9th New York, was killed, and another man wounded. As they did not attack us, we again moved toward Bealton late in the afternoon. Passing Liberty, we came upon the man killed in the morning ; the rebels had stripped him of every stitch of clothing. All the men in his squadron swear dreadful vengeance. Elajoi Anderson scouted almost to the river, and *lnd no rebels. As they, had three pontoon bridges, it is presumed they left. Hill's corps has gone to Orange Court House. They fear Hooker is among them. Only Ewell remains. They have torn up the ties, made of them bonfires, in which to burn the rails of the Orange and Alexandria Road, The destruction is complete. Of course they are now doing the same mischief. Gen. Rosecrans' Speeches at Cincinnati. As there have been only partial accounts of the speeches made by Gen. Boaecrens, at bin reception in Cincinnati on Monday last, we copy from the Cincinnati Commercial the following report of his speech at the Burnet Rouse Farrow-Crrizivas : I cannotforbear to thank you most heartily for this reanifeetation of your sympa thy, of your reaperrt, and of your regard for my pub lic services. While I accept the expressions of your kind feeling as evidences of your private regards for one of your fellow-citizens, I cannot forget that the great heart of this people does not come up here for soy private purposes, but from motives higher than those of mere personal friendship. -I cannot fail to recognize in the voice of this people a free and no ble-hearted population, who have been looking on cur cr nteet or arms, and struggling along with us for national life—who have been anxiously watch ing the struggle with this great rebellion, which has artemptea to destroy our nation and break up our Government—a Government which no man, not even among the revolutionists, has yet denied to be one of the best that ever existed. Therefore it is lbl ll I ca"- when ;On came this merfelf e re, Sympathies are touched not for me as an individual, but km the Government which has been in peril, and for those preservation I. as well as yourselves, have been laboring. [Cheers.] Aid while my heart beats with yours for the safe ty of that Constitution and Government, under which most of us were born—under which all of us lsve, and under which we hope to die—while my own heart beats with yours for the unity of this Govern ment, which is the hope of humanity, I must re member also my owe relation to it as well as to you ; 1 must remember that when you come here you have some doubt as to why the Government called me a way from my late post of duty. All I want to say CD this point, is, to ask you to remember that when ever we hear the voice of the Government it is our duty to yield it prompt obedience—[sneers)—to re cognize its right to issue orders, and to presume it has good reason for what it does until we know the contrary. Therefore, I any to all whose satisfaction today is marred by the mingling of some disposition to queetion the action of the Government, that it would be well to stifle their feelings and leave that matter for further light. I may say this much, that the President of the United States, since the battle of Chickamauga, has written me petsonally to ex press his entire confidence in me. [Great cheers.] And I may tell you, also, that while some very at tentive friends in the - city of New York and in Washington appear to be posted as to my health, the Army of the Cumberland does not agree with them. The Army of the Cumberland thinks I am well enough [laughter and cheers], and so do I. And while some of my New York friends have found out that Generals Crittenden and McCook have con spired to make charges against me, I have General Johnson coming to me, from Indianapolis, with ex essions of extreme regret that their names should have been coupled with any such report. [Cheers.] As for the opium-eating that I have done I don't think it would hurt anybody. When I arrived here a year ago I had in my pocket the same order I now have, viz : to report at Cincinnati, to the Adjutant General, for caters. Now. my friends and felicetecitizens, I presume that cur Government does not need to attack the charac ter of her faithful officer, and I presume that those lies which have come from the New York and Washington papers, the Louisville Journal, our Go. v ern m ent is not responsible for. I think the Go vernment would never presume to make these charges. Let us presume that the Government has acted property, and means only to do right. What ever the has in store for me, or wants me to do, I am ready and willing to yield cheerful obedience. I have nothing more to say than this—that if-any thing gives me hope for the future of our country, it is the intelligent unanimity with which this peo ple—in spite of the weariness which war entails in spite of disappointment at the long delay of peace ; in spite of the loos of relatives and friends, of fathers, husbands, brothers and children—still have maintained a steady will and a firm hand, and are still convinced that if there is any hope for the immediate future ; if our children are tr have any thing to look forward to for permanent prosperity and happiness, it is the preservation and unity of our Government. It is for this I live, and for this I expect to die. Afterwards General Rosecrans was presented to the Chamber of Commerce, and addressed them as follow : DIM PRESIDENT, .AND GENTLEMEN OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE; I don't know what I should say to take up your valuable time, except to thank, you and the people of Cincinnati, for the cor dial reception given me this morning. As I said at the Burnet Rouse, I do not accept the gratifying ex pressions as made to me personally, but as a tribute to the great idea which I represent, and the glorious reuse which is dear to every patriot. I have but en deavored to do my duty to that cause in which you and 1.-are equerry. interested. [Applause.] The cause and Constitutions of our Governments, State end National, and of our army and people, contrast most strikingly with the indifference to order, and recklessness to law, on the part of the enemy, that I have been called upon to witness. The people of the South, whom we have always credited with cer tain good qualities, seem to have been seriously de praved by the war. Our experience is that the effects of the rebellion have been to break - up the higletoned character of the Southern, people, in re spect to honor and truthfulness. I have found them untruthful and unscrupulous. They take property recklessly, and without law. They go to a planter, and take - his herds of horses and cattle at their value in gold, and pay in their currency. The whole country presents a dull, blighted appearance, and everywhere we behold only desolation. They are strongly impressed with the fact that their prospe rity is not only gone, but even their business is giving way, drying up. One of their Confederate colonels, in conversation with one of my staff, said : "You are Prospering in the war—we are not. Your business is going on as usual. You are making money. But we see no chance of giving up the war—at least we cannot give it up see' [Laughter.) And when I see such manifestations of earnest ness in the cause, and look on such votes as you lately gave—[loud applause]—l feel as if we are not to give it up so, either. [Laughter and applause.] Now, I don't know what more I can say, because I don't know that I feel more earnestly than you do in reference to the great interests at stake. But I mill say that there is no hope for our children, no hope for ourselves, but to maintain our Government exactly as it was—or if not as it was, the next thing to it, or, if we can't have that, we will have but one nation anyhow. [Great applause.] I have been where I could see and hear from the enemy. My hearing what was to hear, and seeing what was to be seen, has given me opportunities for judging of the Southern condition that all have not possessed. I will tell you one thing more, and that in reference to the opinions of those who think the war might have been avoided, and that some peace might have been procured before now, if we had taken a different course. But I tell you that the only way in which we can procure any peace is by throttling the enemy of the South. [Applause.] Converse with a rebel, and he will tell you frankly that he is sorry that the war was begun. They will tell you, as their General Adams said, I notice that the extreme men who brought on the war are not fighting its battles. The planters and the people on the border have only acted with reference to the protection of their property. I Bee that the beet blood of the country is being, shed in a war that the victims did not bring about?' The people deplore the war, but they are held by the neck ; the military power has got them under its heel. You cannot, therefore, make peace with them. The only way is to keep tighten ing the cords around them, to get them so broken that the conservative people of the South can help themselves. This they will not attempt until we throttle the military power. Then they will turn to the leaders and say, " We have had enough of this, and will give it up." Accordingly, I see no hope except in prudently and steadily crowding upon them as we have been doing , and the termina tion of the struggle at last will be in accordance with the great interest of our country and the world. [Applause.] I had hoped that within a year we could have accomplished the reduction of the rebellion. I will say in conclusion that had we received the forces eight weeks ago that we ought to have had, we would have broken the back of the rebellion before now. Radical German Convention at Cleveland. The first convention of radical Germans closed its se scion at Cleveland on'the 22d instant. The fal lowing platform of organization was adopted, the chief object of which is to work conjointly with their fellow.eitizens of American descent, of the same political creed, for the realization of the prin ciples and measures annexed 1. integrity of the Union, and subordination of the several States under the sovereignty of the people of the United States. 2. Unconditional suppression of the rebellion. 3 Abolition of slavery in the territory of the United States in the shortest way. 4 Re vision of the Constitution in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence. 5, Treatment of the reconquered rebel States as Teri 'toilet. for the purpose of reconstruction. 6. Cession of the confiscated lands in the spirit of the homestead bill, as well as donation of portions of lend to the defenders of the country, of whatever color, and to the liberated slaves. 7. lit alization of the Monroe doctrine. 8. Alliance with European revolution against fo reign intervention. 9. Protection of the freedom of the press and speech against military usurpation. 10. Establishment of a national military system similar to the Swiss system. 'Universal obligation fur military service. 11. Support of such candidates for public offices as stand nearest to the principles laid down in this platform. The Convention represented a fair amount of the best talent among the loyal Germans of the Union. EFFF.OT OF SECRET COPPERHEAD ORGA - NiZA- TiONB.—Reuben Stout, of the 60th Indiana Regi ment, was executed on Friday, 23d inst ,at John. eon's Island, near. Cleveland, for desertion and murder of the officer who attempted to arrest him. The prisoner confessed his guilt, and said : " I was led by evil counsels, and by my connection with a secret traitorous organization, to, stay away from my pose of citify in the army. - I am truly sorry that I acted thus, or that I for a moment listened.to the an evil counsels. I am sorry that I ever lifted my, hand against the life of my fellow Man. I think the man who came,to arrest me did not act right, but I do not'excuee myself for my wronploing Ott that account:" THREE CENTS.

(Special Correspondence of The Press. ST. Louis, 11 , /o, Dot. 21, 1863 Missouri has, for a time at least, relapsed into a condition of quiet. The raid by Shelby's guerillas is ended, and the centre of the State is enjoying a restoration to its former condition of peace. The raid was exceedingly unprofitable to the guerillas, and it is not likely they will repeat it. They loot all their artillery, and the moat of the property they had stolen, together with the wagons which served them for purposes of transportation. Gen. Brown, who led the pursuit against them, says he hurler fifty. seven of their dead, and found a hundred and fifty wounded, whom they had left in the houses along the road. He has brought to Jefferson city upwards of seventy prisoners, and it is reported that an equal number were taken to Lebanon by the forces that moved out from that point. At last ac counts they were fleeing into western Arkansas, with Col. Cloud punning them closely. They will probably join Holmes in Northern Texas. In Southeast Missouri the good work is being car ried on. General Fisk, commanding that district, with headquarters at Pilot Knob, has several small detachments of cavalry constantly in the field, hunt ing up guerillas. Last week he surprised a camp on the Black river, and killed or captured every man in it. A few melt enterprises as this will bring gueril la warfare to an end in Missouri. General Steele sent an expedition from Little Rock to Batesville, and is now occupying that point as a military post. It is the principal place on the White river above Duval's Bluff, and in ordinary seasons is the head of navigation. There was a force of four hunded rebels in town, but they evacuated without showing fight. The military situation in the southwestern pert of this department is somewhat changed. Gen. Blunt has been relieved from command of the Army of the Frontier, and ordered to report to Fort ?Leaven worth. Gen. IVlcireil is placed at the head of the Army of the Frontier, and will establish his head quarters at Fort Smith t during the winter. There are charges against General Blunt that he has re peatedly disobeyed orders from headquarters, and kept the discipline of his army in an exceedingly lax condition. He will, probably, be laid on the shelf after an examination into the truth of the statements against him. He claims that his disc• bedience of orders resulted in the redemption of the Southwest from the rebels. Gen. McNeil was sent from Springfield to Fort Smith, and his place at the former point is filled by Gen. Panborn. The latter officer is but recently appointed to the rank of brigadier. He entered the war as colonel of the 4th Minnesota Infantry, and was prominent in the siege of Vicksburg. General Ewing moved from Kansas City in pur . suit of Shelby, hoping to intercept him at Carthage. He marched with his cavalry seventy.two miles in twenty-four hours, but arrived about twelve hours too late. He only succeeded in capturing Shelby's rear guard. Most of the troops that joined in the pursuit have returned to their posts, with, the ex ception of Colonel Cloud's command. There have be en but few instances of movements so rapid as 'acme of General Ewing. At the time of Marina. duke's advance upon Cape Girardeau, General Yandever moved eighty miles in- one day. In the autumn of 1861 the tat Colorado Infantry marched sixty , nine miles in twenty.four hours, when going to the relief of Fort Union. The last mentioned is the best infantry marching during the war. The following correspondence, which has recently passed between the distinguished individuals named, was sent by General M. Jef Thompson to his re latices. in this city, and by their favor we are per mitted to lay it before the public.—Editor St. Jo. Herald, .0" GENERAL BUTLER TO SECRETARY OF WAR IN. JEFF'S 13:21E2 To Hon. E. M. Stantein, Secretary of War. SIR : I have the honor to enclose to you a copy of a note received from Brigadier General M. Jeff Thompson, whom I knew in command of the forces immediately opposite to me at Ponchatoula, on the north side of Lake Ponchartrain, when I was in command of the Department of the Gulf, The ori ginal I have sent, as requested, to Captain Thorn ton. of Brigadier General George F. Shepley's staff. Captain Thornton, a most valuable, brave, and efficient officer, was grievously wounded with at least seven bullet holes through his clothes and va rious parts of his body, in the attack on Poncha toula in September of last year, under the command of the late lamented Major General Strong, then my chief of staff; Captain Thornton was left in the hands of the enemy, and received of General Thomp son every care and kindness, and, at my request, was sent to New Orleans upon his parole. This courteous consideration .on the nart of- General Thompson, I have no doubt, enabled us with the blessings of Heaven; to save Captain Thornton% valuable life. General Thompson is now a prisoner at Johnson's island, near Sandusky, Ohio. if not inconsistent with the public service, I most earn estly ask that General Thompson may be released upon his parole. While I can testify to the uniform urbanity and courtesy with which all the operations of General Thompson were conducted, I am most decidedly of opinion that the kindness which he showed to Captain Thornton alone should entitle him to every possible consideration. That kindness was not alone given to the officers, but the wounded men spoke of his treatment with the utmost grati fitde.. I found him a troublesome enemy enough, but of hie humanity, which was in contrast with the -con duct of Gen. Taylor ' leads me to ask this favor for him at the hands of the Government. As lam not much in the habit of asking leniency for rebels, I trust the War Department will take it as a guaran tee that this is a proper case for the extension of every indulgence. I am, Most respectfully, your obedient servant, BENJAMIN F. BUTLER, lYlajor General U. S. V. GEO. D. PRENTICE TO GEN. SCHOFIELD, ASKING PER MISSION TO SEND WHISKT TO JEFF. LOUISVILLE, Ky Sept. 15th 1863 . To the Military Commandant at St. Louis: DEAR SIR : I learn that General M. Jeff. Thomp son is in the prieon at Alton, Illinois. A year and a half ago, when he had a command in Arkansas, he did me a kindness by writing to me information . in regard to my son. I hope you will not deem it inconsistent with rouppublic duty to permit me to send him a demijohn of whisky. Please to be so kind as to let me know your decision. Very truly yours, G. PRENTICE. HEADQUARTERS DEPT Or THE MISSOURI, ST. LOUIS, aio., Sept. 18, 1863. Respectfully referred to the commanding officer at Sandusky . , with the recommendation that the requeat -be granted. J. M. SCHOFIELD, Major General Commanding. GEO. D. PRENTICE TO GEN. M. JEFF. THOMPSON. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 25. 1863. Gen. M. Jej: Thompson: DEAR Dlx: I enclose you a document whieh, as you will see, explains itself. I wanted to send some good liquor to you at Alton. You will perceive that I can send none to you where you are unless you are an invalid, as I hope you are not. Gen. Thompson, terribly as we are opposed in this war, I love you personally for what my son has told me of you. I thank you for all your kindness to him, and for your kind letter to me in regard to him. If you want money, call on me. If you want any thing, call on me. You know what I can be allowed to do for you, and please be assured that I will do what I can. Very truly yours, GEO. - D: PRENTICE. When the Swamp Fox general arrived - at Pilot Knob, after his capture, be assured Geaeral Fisk that the prospects of the Confederacy were never more brilliant. He expressed himself much dissa tisfied with the conduct of the people of Southeast Missouri, in not remaining true to the rebel cause. " Two years ago," said Jeff, "they were as plucky as need be. On my way up this time I whispered to them whenever I got a chance, and told them to keep up good courage. I thought they would be all right, but, d--n them, they had to take out their notebooks to see which oath of allegiance they took last." The President's letter to the radical delegation from Missouri, appeared in the papers of this city yesterday. It will be in print in the East by the time this reaches you, so that I need not make com ment upon it. As might be expected, it is a sore disappointment to the radicals, who had hoped to carry the President by the weight of their numbers. Only one of the points which they sought has been granted them, and that is the issuing of an order for the protection of the polls, similar to that issued in Kentucky. The President has complied with their request in this particular, and the order is already issued. It provides that no returned rebel, or any person who has given aid to the rebellion since the nth of December, 1861, shall be allowed to cast a vote. The polls were' not to be interfered with in any way by the soldiers, and only at points where there is danger of guerilla incursions will troops be kept under aims near the places of voting. The older is applauded by both parties, and will proba bly be the means of preventing much fraud by the friends of the two candidates. The ballot box in the Western States is no purer than in the East. The election which is to come off is for three judges of the Supreme Court, and will be contested with much vigor. Both parties believe fully that they will succeed, and are preparing to bring out every vote possible. The struggle is between the two wings of the Union party, known as Radical and Conservative, the former comprising those Who are in favor of immediate emancipation and the latter including all,those who are not. The chances are about even, aid it is impossible for an outsider to have an opinion as to the probabilities of the re sult. The Radicals talk with rather more confidence than their opponents, and this fact would seem to indicate that the balance of probability is in their favor. The Conservatives are beginning the can vass ahead of the Radicals, but the latter will wake up to the emergency, in a few days. By the week before the election both sides will be in full blast. Within the past week many refugees have ar rived from Arkansas, all of them telling frightful stories of persecution. So great is the number of I refugees that the Sanitary Commission has appoint ed one of its members to'the special duty of looking after the wants of these sufferers. The majority of them are women and children, and in several cases they have walked many miles to reach points of safety. The rebels have kept the interior of Arks'', sae continually scoured for the purpose of hunting, up conscripts. Nearly every man capable of bear ing arms has been forced into the rebel ranks, or compelled to hide out of reach of the guerillas. As the , country has been cleaned up to occupation by our troops, many of these men are returning, but there are many sections where the rebels are in full sway, and making a more rigorous rule than ever. It is but reoently that they have redoubled In the severity of their treatment of loyal fainiliea. Moat of the refugees have friends in Kentucky or Illinois, and are endeavoring to make their way to them. Others there are who, come among total. strangers, with pa proapeat of relief from friends. They are being well cared for for the present. The etidttlPent ateut steambeoli Ir_oendiarista has THE rUBLISHID DAILY (SUNDAYS EKOIETNDL BY JOHN W. FORMBY. OFFICE.

The West may now be set down as thoroughly loyal, and determined to support the Government through its entire policy. The peace party has diminished won derfully since the elections above mentioned, and will continue to be on the decrease. Wisconsin will probably roll up a majority that will astonish every one, and the same will be the case with Minnesota_ There ie still considerable noise kept up with refe rence to the opening of trade on the Mississippi river. The military authorities are most bitterly opposed to it, but the merchants are clamorous that it shall be done at once. Trade was opened last year with Memphis, and the result was that the rebels obtain ed all the supplies they wanted from that city. The restrictions upon trade soon stopped this in a mea sure, though it is by , no means entirely crushed. If trade should be opened the South would be at ones flooded with whatever articles are needed in that quarter, and they need nearly everything that our market contains. As soon as the rebels are com pletely expelled from the Mississippi valley it will be proper to open trade. Till then it would be bet ter to keep up the restrictions. The Western rivers still continue at their low stage. As a consequence freights to those points which are only accessible to steamboats are very bieh, and will continue to be so until the rivers rise. In the Ohio river the coal boats have been unable to come down to Cincinnati, and only those steam boats that draw not more than two feet of water can keep in operation. In front of this city the channel has changed, so that certain parts of the levee are becoming hoisted. The city government has become frightened, and is studying out a plan for remedying the evil. There it an extensive sys tem of dikes that was commenced under the super intendence of the now rebel General Robert E. Lee, in 1637, at the expense of the General Government. The appropriations fell short, and the works were never completed. Their completion at present is now under advisement. The week Nit closed has witnessed a severe snow storm, A foot of snow in October is a rare thing for the latitude of Missouri. Last year there was snow storm on the 24th October, extending from St. Paul on the north to Vicksburg on the south, but the fall in this city was not more than a fourth the , fall of this year. A cold winter is prophesied. Parties from Philadelphia are now in this city making investments in mining lands in Southeast Missouri. They intend to erect works for an exten sive business during the coming year. PIERMONT. The Uase of General tviiiroy-3udgment at the President. [From the New York Tribune. WASHINGTON, Oct. 97, 1863 The following is a copy of the conclusions of the President, endorsed upon the report of the Sedge Advocate General, in the case of Major General Mil roy. It will be observed that they are substantially in accordance with our statement of their probable character, some days since In June last a division was substantially lost at and near Winchester, Virginia. At the time it was under General Milroy, as immediate commander it the-field : General Schenck, as department com mander at Baltimore ; and General Halleck, as Ge neral in-Chief at Washington. . . Gen. Milroy, as immediate commander, was put under arrest, and subsequently a Gourt of Inquiry examined chiefly with reference to disobedience of orders, and reported the evidence. The foregoing: is synoptical statement of the evidence, together with the Judge Advocate General's conclusions. The disaster, when it came, was a surprise to aIL It was very well known to Gen. Schenck , and Gels. 'Milroy for some time before that Gen. Hellcat , thought the division was in general danger of s surprise at Winchester; that it was of, no service there commensurate with the risk it incurred, and that it ought to be withdrawn. But, although ht . more than once advised its withdrawal, he never positively ordered it. Gem Schenck, on the contrary, believed the service of the force at Winchester was worth the hazard,.and so did not positively order its withdrawal until it was so late that the enemy cut the wire and prevented the order reaching General Milroy. Gen. Milroy seems to have con curred with General Schenck in the opinion that the force should be kept at Winchester, at least till the approach of danger;_ but he disobeyed no order upon the subject. borne question can be made whether some of General annerws aespatnnes to General Schenck should'not have been construed to be orders to withdraw the force and obeyed accord ingly ; but no such question can be made against General Milroy. Intact, the lust order he received was to be prepared to withdraw, but not to actually withdraw till further order—which further order never reached him. Serious blame is not necessa rily due to every serious disaster, and I cannot say that in this case either of these officers is deserving of serious blame. NO court martial is deemed,ueu cessary or proper in the case. A. LINCOLN. General Milroy, having received twenty days' leave of absence, started for his home in Indiana, which hehas not visited for twenty.seven months. GARIBALDI ON NAPOLEON'S INVASION OF Mar , * 'co.—Garibaldi has addressed the following letter to the Patriotic Club of Mexico “CAPRERA, May 20, 1863. "To the Patriotic Club of the Federal District of the- Mexican Bepubtic '‘ GENTLEMEN : I accept with pride the honorary presidency of your patriotic society, and would that wy artn could join yours in the defence of your country and the threatening of its liberty, which covers with shame the generous French nation which, having begun the progressive course of Eu rope, has now converted itself into a blind instru ment in the hands of a tyrant, an usurper, a per jurer, who has changed the glorious flag of the French Republic into a standard for robbers. "But do you continue steadfast, compact and united against this usurpation accursed of the world. Defend heroically your country, and show astonished Europe that the sons of the soil do not fight in vain when they grasp their arms for liberty, and you will conquer, for your cause is a holy oae.
