FRIDAY, OCTOBER 80, 1863 THE WAR IN THE SOUTHWEST, The Situation in East Tennessee, TOMER Of WA& INTERESTING RETqW OF TILE CHILDERN A Theory of the Situation. (Correspondence of The Frees.] Important rumors of the situation reach us from Chattanooga. The recent movement of Bragg towards our right seems to have for its object a diversion of our forces from Chattanooga, and the seisure of the important railroad junction at Cleve land, Tenn., which would sever communication between Chattanooga , and Knoxville, the central hold of Burnside in Tennessee, while a force coming down from Lee's army via Lynohliurg—a rebel base of supplies which Burnside's forces under Shackel ford have been threatening near Bristol and Abing don—will possess the East Tennessee - and Virginia road in and about Southwestern Virginia. Thus, on right and left, Burnside would be out off. Push ing vigorously from Virginia, it is supposed that they design to compel - him from' Greenville and Knoxville to take the only line of _retreat—that to the Cumberland Gap. They will thus free the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad. General Bragg once in possession of Cleveland, commands Chattanooga—that is to sap, (according to the supposed rebel theory,) he can make it light him at some disadvantage, and at the chanceof hie junction with the rebel forces front Virginia. If he chosen to retreat on the railroad, our army, per fo'rce, will follow him, while he joins forces from Virginia, and till he gives battle at an advantage somewhere between Knoxville and. Chattanooga. Our forces hug Chattanooga as a great stronghoW and the key of the direct South; and, perthips ; would abandon it with reluctance, either in being com pelled to move towatibi Cleveland or retreat on the left. It is not, however, the hobby of eur general in-chief to hold Chattanooga so wish as to beat Bragg, a certain victory over whom, at) this time, will settle all questions. The best device of mice and men "gang aft aglee,ft we are told; and so it may prove in the case of Bragg. But the most remarkable intimation of the present state of affairs is, that the grand theatre of the whole war may be removed to Mit Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. There is much to suggest this view, namely—Bragg's motion on our left to. Cleveland ; increased activity of the rebels from Southwest Virginia, and the utter necessity of the. enemy to hold that quarter. Unquestionably, once in possession of the East Tennessee road, the enemy can be reinforced from Virginia at an advantage, Which, apparently, we cannot equal. Even in face of•the fact that a part of the railroad has been broken, they still retain a present advantage in holding the road as far as Abingdon. Burnside has a line of over two hundred miles to guard. This is suggestive, without saying more. THE CONTRARY VIES .7 GEN. GRANT'S We have not heard what the Cumberland army is doing on the right in view of Bragg's advance in that quarter. But on the left, towards Bragg'a rear, we hear of Hooker's forces, lately reported at Ste venson, Ala., threatening his railroad communica tion by Rome and Selma. Let us not be too San guine that this difficult matter, which, among other things, requires time, is a fact accomplished. What seems inevitable, from reports received, is that our forces will attack the rebel left by Thookout Moun tain Or thereabout, while Hooker. concentrating to ward Chattanooga, will attack him across the Ten nessee. These movements seem intended to divert Bragg from our left, and keep -him in dilemma. They have already been hinted in the news, and may develop themselves more conspicuously. Ig Thus, it seems thepolicy of our generals to hold Bragg justabout where he is, in the neighborhood of that curious triangle of railroad between Chatta nooga,- Dalton, and Cleveland. % It is designed, per haps, to keep him from retreat to Rome, keep him by all means from Cleveland—keep him where he is ; give him the cup of Tantalus, and roll back upon him the atone of Sysiphus. Grant, it is supposed in this case can have actual reinforcement from Sher man, as well as virtual reinforcement by that generat, keeping in employ and advaneing upon the out. forces of Bragg in his direction. We hear that it is not impossible for 13 - rant, who now commands the Tennessee, Cumberland, and Ohio armies under the Division of the Mississippi, to receive reinforcement from Sherman in time for his next battle, perhaps more readily,, certainly just as readily, as the slim forces of Johnston can unite with Bragg. With this view, holding the enemy by Burnable, Sherman, Hooker, and Thomas, a concentration for- battle would give us the numerical advantage, and precipi tate him. The nature of the balance seems to depend upon what the rebels are going to do from Lynch burg and in East Tennessee. MEADE, LEE," AND BURNSIDE. We hear from the North that Lee made his recent tour from Culpeper to destroy railroads and bridges in our front and render Meade's army inoperative for rnonths, wile- he fell back and sent troops through Southwest Virginia. By the rebel papers, this movement is variously stated to be a failure and success ; and, judging from our own reports. it is a partial failure. But it may throw some light on the relation which Richmond bears to Knoxville, and Knoxville to Chattanooga. And here we ask, would the rebelabe willing to hold Meade -with a small force in front of the fortified region of Richmond, while they sent the bulk of their forces on a neigh borly errand into Southwest Virginia I Meade's army, in a railroad sense, is very far away, while East Tennessee is at the back door, the back en frame of Virginia. The policy of Meade, it appears to us here, is to keep the enemy employed, whereas the rebels have taken the initiative, and are employing him, perhaps, only to deceive him. A concentration of waste forces, and a battle in_Virginia, would do good. But if Lee can be surely held, it seems that Bragg can be surely whipped. As always, Burnside has been active ; is reportea to have torn up considera ble railroad, and, if necessary, mighttear up more. The rebel General Samuel Jones has reported to General Lee that his campaign with Burnside is progressing vigorously, and it is & question how far the damage to the railroad hat affected movements in Southwestern Virginia. There can be no doubt that General Lee looks with anxiety to this quarter. These suggestions refer only to. general matters. Inside of all this are those exploits, raids, and im promptu strategy, which may change the situation in a moment. With reference to Sherman espe cially, there may be an error; but these views, part ly thosepf some intelligent military men, doubtless contain considerable 'truth, and, at all events, bite resting and suggestive speculation. I give them for what they are worth. FROBUS. THE COMMANDERS OF THE CUMBERLAND [Correuioxidence in Herald.) General Rosecrans leaves his army a moat popu lar commander, despite the late failure on his part. He understood thoroughly a certain system—for which I cannot find an expressive name—by which to gain the affections of his troops. He never passed, a regiment without having a pleasant word for the men. He chatted freely and even jocularly with them. lie blamed the officers for everything—the men for nothing. If a knapsack was put on care lessly, he told the guilty man's captain that he "didn't know how to strap on a knapsack." If a canteen was missing he ridiculed the soldier who thought he could light without water, and scolded his officer. All this pleased the men, without ex actly offending theofficer, and the whole army had a hearty laugh over every such scene, and felt an in creased admiration for the General. Gen. Thomas has another system that makes him, not in the common sense of the term, popular—per haps, not as popular as Rosecrans. He has the deep seated and deep-rooted affection of his men. It is of the undemonstrative kind. He stands forth in the army as above suspicion, and is looked upon. by the army, as the nation looks upon its great men of the past—with• a sort of reverence. He never for a single moment sacrifices his dig nity, though no private soldier ever had a alfticulty in reaching his ear. He always finds a patient listener and sound adviser. He has a quiet way of deciding, Horn which a soldier never deemed it proper to appeal. lie talks in a low, quiet strain. There is no boisterous laughter ever heard about his headquarters. His nail' is small—smaller, perhaps, than even Buell's used to be; but he has about Aim working men like himself. The as my reveres the man, and I have no doubt will heartily welcome him, while it feelingly takes leave of Ilosecrans. The public, too, will gladly acqui esce in this part of the action of the War Depart ment ; for where a man holding the highest military lank in the army so regulates his advancement •and promotion that, at the end of two years of active warfare, he tights a terrible battle, saves an army, is recognized as a hero, and the serpent of.jealousy does not hiss at him, the public wish to see more of him and to seehim more trusted and honored: Gem Thomas is such a man, and, strange to say, has gone through this war without apparently exciting the elms or jealousy ot a single fellow officer; and his tharticter stands to-day , as Her from stain as that of any man who has mule his appearance in this war. CROSSING THIO MOHNTAINS TO CHATTANOOGA Coirezoondenco of the Times. ] Look down, and• almost directly beneath you, 1;2C0 reet below, winds a road at the foot of the mountain. That road leaves the rook where you stand, and winda slowly, tediously down the rugged, ragged, and rocky mountain aide, accomplishing a distance of three miles ere it leads.you with gratifi cation and complacent nerves out into the valley below. Hewn out of the rock in some places, and into it at others, with rickety- bridges spanning yawning gullies, and trickling ? gushing streams splashing over the rocks and dills, making pools in one place and cataracts in another, it is one 'of the mqst fearfully romantic scenes the: mind can conceive. The extreme upper portion of the dt scent is as abrupt as the ralisades.of the Hud son, aid their strong similaiity was masked by more than one of us.- Lower down it is more moderate,, and near the foot of the mountain it spreads out into, a round and full ridge, densely timbared. From the top of the mountain, where the road starts, a land-. scope view of surpassing lovelinoos is spread out be fore you. Our day was not a good one, for theolonds still o'erhung the mountain tops and hovered in the N allies, but the broad Valley, et the Tennessee, and the dim, great ranges of mountains over in aeorgia and North Carolina, were plainly in view. As we steed a few feet below the top, in the shadow of, an overhanging rock, a gleam of sunlight .shot across the tree-tops in the valley beneath, giving to the-va ried eelOted foliage an increased brillianoy, which was heightened by the dark, frowning shadow -oast far out on the scene below by the towering rooks above. That one scene was worth our journey to ee. The valley reached, and it seven miles to .01iwttanooga. But those miles are very long. The loads grow worse, and our horses, not fed since early, dawn, labor painfully along. But they bear us out bravely nd ixithitilly. Suddenly, 83 we - pass the NABRVIU.E, 00t. 26, 1863 OPER aTION§ THREE CENT* point of a ridge, a bold mountain, with threatening" aspect, and rising`far above everything else, bursts suddenly in view from the southward. Our gul4lo says, "That is Lookout," and we tatie heart,. be cause we know the Tennessee lies between us. Soon' a guide-board tells us, " two miles and ishalf to Chat tanooga:" But we stop a moment to look , at one of the most painful scenes of this war. On theffoor of a large old - mill, open to the blasts on alllaides, and illy covered'at the top, are seated hardly lens than a score of women and children, huddling obrote gether to avoid the chilly air. They are "Refugees," a name Willey has a deeper significance in East Ten nesSee than many other country in the wOrld`. They are of al/ ages, from the tottering grand.parentdown to the little saes who so quickly bring to mind our own firesides. Their condition is moat wretched ;, with scarce clothing enough to cover their listen with only the damp floor to lie upon, and a smelt , bundle of scanty bedding, dependent upon the bounty. of the soldiers ' and with the memory of a home in• blackened ruins " to , haunt their dreams, they arc' miserable indeed. They gaze at us as we pass, with • pitiful, ineroy.seeiring expression in their pallid faces. "Did you seethemt" goes from lip to lip, and a fervent prayer of "Ood have mercy upon them" goes up from every heart. THE ETRWMKUO 1410ETAWIE OF CHATTANOOGA Running from Virginia- through East Tennessee in a southeasterly direction ie. a great valley, forty or fifty miles wide, and whioh as far south as Chat tanooga is watered principally by the Tennerme ri ver. But at Chattanooga the valley makes a sharp angle and runs due south, widening at Rome and Atlanta and going to the Gulf. Naturally it would seem that the Tennessee river should flow through this valley into the Gulf; but at Chattanooga it runs up against Stubborn Lookout Mountain, is turned from its course, creeps through a narrow gap at the town, rune a very undignified zigzag course, through the mountains ; and eater performing certain queer antics, such as' those called by the: natives "sucks," "rapids," "boiling-pots," "shoals," &c., it coqueti with the Cumberland, even running for many miles arm-in-arm with it, and then, with the same irresolution or fickle ness of character which induced it to leave its beau tiful valley route to the Gulf, It rushes off into the arms of the strong and lusty Ohio. After leaving Chattanooga the Tennessee is no benefit to us—on the contrary, it is a great barrier.; but above Chat tanooga it is one of our main defences. We estab lish our line behind it—the ditch to our fortifications —and with Burnside's aid we, holding the river, close up the valley, and the rebels cannot go by that route into Kentucky. On either side of tnis valley there are high sand rugged mountains, that act to our line thrown across this valley as great forts on our flanks. Your chess devotees will understand me better when I say they alit as the,rooks do in the royal game. On the left, these mountains, known as the Great Smoking Mountains, are impas sable. On our right are the Raccoon, Lookout, Sand, and Cumberland Mountains These can be crossed. They were by Rosecrans, but after months of special preparation ; and should the enemy at tempt the same manoeuvre, be may reasonably aa pl the same fate that betel Roßecrans at Chicks mauga. It is one hundred and twenty miles from Chattanooga to Atlanta, through this same great valley. With his flanks and rear thus protected by Dame Nature, a powerful army to back him, neces sitated to establish but a short line, without fear of being flanked, General Grant will be enabled to make the campaign to Atlanta without a serious engagement; and the name Atlanta is to be used in the sense of a compound one, signifying and in eluding Rome, with her arsenals ; Montgomery, Mobile, with her great stores of cotton ;with her splendid advantages, and, indeed, all the country between the valley and the Mississippi river. It will never do to give up Cnattanooga. News from the Liebe/ Papers WHEELER'S EXPLOITS. The Columbus (Ga.) Sun states on " respectablo authority," that the Federals have_.evacuatect Iluntsvitlec but that they have still email garrisons at Bridgeport, Murfreesboro, Lebanon, and Me. minnvuie. The garrison at Nashville us represented to be nine hundred. From Major Hope, the Atlanta Tnfeltigencer has , gathered the following eaditional particulars of the operations of General Wheeler in l'ennessee : From the accounts given by Major Hope, it ;memo that he captured upward of eleven hundred and EtiX, ty-five wagons in the Sequatchie Valley, ten hurt. area and sixty of which he destroyed, and the re mainder he succeeded in bringing safely across the Tennessee. He shot upward of thirty-five hundred. mules and brought out with him nearly one thou. sand horses and mules. At McMinnville he destroy ed thirty days' rations for Rosecrans , entire army, including 1,600 sacks of green coffee and 2,600 bar rels of parched coffee, with other stores in propor tion. At McMinnville heals° destroyed two trains. of cars loaded for Chattanooga, and also the rail road track for nearly fifteen miles. He then de. strops d the track on the Nashville and Chattanoo ga railroad, for nearly twenty miles below Mur freesboro. Hid loss was three pieces of artillery, and about one thousand men in killed, wounded and, prisoners, the moat of them being prisoners. In connection with the above, we extract the fol lowing from a special to the Rebel, at Marietta, dated the irith that , which states that, after he paroled the prisonera captured, "he then dashed on and de stroyed the bridges over Stone and Duck rivers, while Wharton threatened Murfreesboro. Wharton then joined Wheeler at Shelbyville. The enemy were reinforced, and fought and droVe Wheeler back. Be retreated across the Tennessee river, near Ccurtland, Ala. Our loss was heavy, but it was a brilliant exploit. Roddy is reported to have blown up the tunnel at Cowans.', From the lUchmond Entmirer It is stated now that Gen. D. H. Hill, and not Gen. Polk, was the officer whose failure to make the at . lack at the proper time prevented Gen. Bragg from accomplishing all that was anticipated at the cattle c" 'Chickamauga. A correspondent of die Savan nah Republican, writing from "near Chattanooga, Oct. 2," under the signature of "Tout le Monde," t` The truth regarding the tardiness with which the great advantages were tollowed up in our last signal victory over .Rosecrans begins slowly to unfold itself, and General Bragg is exonerated from shoul dering the blame. General Polk has been arrested, of course, by General Bragg. What fort On Mon day morning General Polk had orders to move rapidly forward at daylight and attack the enemy, either before he got within the fortifications at Chattanooga, or within them, as he might find him. General Bragg supposed, with every reason justly, that hie. disordered ranks could not be organized beiore light, and a sudden attack in such a demo ralized condition as he was forced from the field on' Sunday night would increase. the rout and result in his entire destruction. General Polk 's command did not move until near 12 M., cso the rumor has it,--at least, it is no doubt true, he, did not get under way until very late in the day. The result in, Rosecrans improved the time allowed him, got his shattered regiments to. gether again, formed them behind the- earthworks, and placed his guns in position in the strong bat teries which surround the rear of the town. What excuse was offered for sacrificing the fruits of the most ravorable victory we have had in the wart General Polk, so rumor again has it, attaches the blame to General D. R. Rill. General HilPs com mand, it seems, was ordered by General Polk to execute the command of General Bragg, and move forward at daylight, to make the attack. When asked whyhe did not move, his excuse was that his men had no rations, and he would not fight them without something to eat. If this prove true, he de ceives to be cashiered either for having no rations for his men or tor notmoving forward without them in such an important emergency. It is very cer tain (or it should be) that, they had something to eat the day before, and it is yet to be seen wnen Southern soldiers are not ready to move under more trying circumstances than privations of rations for twenty-lour hours. The neglect of such weighty duties where so much of our interest was involved, hardly admits an excuse, and the shortest way to guarci against such dreadful contingencies in future, is to do away, as early as possible, with leaders Who have such Dad luck. , It is to be hoped a better lace may be put on the 'matter than at present shows itself in the countenance of Madame Rumor as she travels about camp. , In corroboration of the above, "P. W. A.," another correspondent of the-Republican, writing under date of the Bth inst., says "I was in error in saying that, in the late battle, Polk commanded on the tight, Bih in the cetre, Longstreet the left. There were but two grand divisions of the army ; the right wing, commanded by Polk, 'and the leis wing, commanded by Long street. Bill was under Polk, as Buckner was under Longstreet, and it is said that Hill is the officer who is really responsible for the failure to attack at sun rise on Sunday morning, and not Polk, who, it is affirmed, issued orders for his command to move at that hour. General Bragg, however, could not, it is said, look beyond General Polk to his subalterns, especially since he neither complained of their de linquency nor put them under ail est." [liom the Richmond Enquirer.] - It is well known to those who have attentively studied that branch of polite literature comprised in Fourtlkof-July speeches, Pilgrim Father commeino rations and, Tammany Hall diecourses,"that the de cayed system of Europe has for. a long time been tottering with decrepitude and yielding to the fresh and ,vigorous sap or America. The shadow of the spread eagle ) e wing has rested upon those effete dynasties and crumbling monarchies. The haughty oligarchy of Britain, the military pride of France, the sombre and dilapidated grandeur of Spain, and the organized tyranny - of Austria, have all cowered before the mighty genius of Liberty, and heard with dread her Jolty decreea, poured forth in Divine afflatus from the lips of Hoosier orator, or Yankee lecturers, uttered in the homely phrase of Lincoln, or delivered with the elegant twang of Everett. The artful statesmen of antiquated des potism are well aware of their dangerous position. They know that they tremble upon the verge of a precipice. They know that a breath, a non, from the great Yankee nation will light the smouldering fifes of revolution, and level in the dust every trace of their rotten fabrics. They know well, for they can learn it from spread eagle patriots, and read it in the I. ew York newspapers, that at a eignal from the great Republic the sunburst of Erin will he again flung to the breeze : Napoleon hurled from his throne by an avalanche of popik far indignation ; Cuba, the brightest jewel of the Spanish crown, turn from it forever; and Hungary once more recalled to independent, national life. There is, then, no room for wonder that the prospect of such formidable powers of de struction being joined in close alliance with the mi litary force of Russia should excite such conflicting emotion!' ef fear and of joy in different climes of Europe and or Asia. The crowned heads bf effete Europe quake on hearing that Dirs. Lincoln, has chunk the health of the Czar, not that they desire that potentate to be afflicted with any bodily infix =Hee, but they regard it as a portent, a sign in the sky, "with tear of change perplexing monarchs." In her present conspicuous position the attitude of that female has an interest for the world like that which Louis the Fourteenth's dinners upon the terrace at St. Germaine inspired in the Parisian badoudts, and a political significance equal to the oracular New ear speeches of Napoleon the Third. ESCAPE OF DESPERA.TE CHARACTERS FROM CASTLR TRUN ERR...Ik SENTINEL MURDERED [From the Richmond Enquirer. Oct. 24.] On Thursday morning, between the hours of two and three o'clock, four men succeeded in effecting their escape from Castle Thunder. A previous at tempt of the maxim parties having been discovered and kustrated by, the vigilance of the officers, they were confined in the condemned cell, before which a guard it kept continually walking to and fro, and which, from its position, in the very centre of the building, was deemed the moat secure place in the prison. Obtaining by some means the necessary tools, they cut, through the floor into the commis saly'a room beneath, descending into which they secured the arms placed there for safe keeping, then in a body, rushing out into the room used for the reception of visitors, they overthrew the nen- - tin el on guard inside the door, who, being dis abled by the fall, could not further arrest their flight. They next encountered the sentinel in front of the prison on Carey street, lie happen ing to be immediately in their path, one of the number nutted upon him, and placing the muzzle of his gun close to the head of the guard—who in vain attempted to stop theilegress-a.discharged the piece. The whole load entered the lower portion of the head, inflicting a frightful wound, and, of course, causing instant death. 'Three or four shots were fired in rapid succefision at the fleeing murderers, but with what sucoress in not known. A crowd of soldiers on duty at the prison were soon collected around the scene of this lamentable disaster. But here a singular incident occurred, The large dog (belonging to Captain Alexander, the commandant cf the prison), which, doubtless, alli have see token have ever visited the Castle, took a position , along. tide the de4d body; and would Permit no one leap- Tfotteh untl the proper officers came up and relieved him of his charge ; even then he followed the corpee into the building, seemingly( determined to keep Atatful 414sza over tp.e l ;e4jiltud TAAL ttic 4ltet.

They have, therefore, no motive to tight,--Bat with the more than three millions that remairs.in slavery, and subejet to be disposed of as - their masters think proper, the matter is very dif ferent. The promise of freedom. would not be to them an empty and superflueus- offer. Nor would that imagined boon be the only..incentive that could. be furnished to induce them to • "stake their lives" for their masters, or for the still- stronger motive of gratifying lusts and passions the fteroe fires of which, acting upon their semi-savage natures, would mare them demons -of destruction, the very emissaries of hell to the 'Yankee race. Dir. Thome Brown,who was Governor of flo rid& when that was a oyal State, and claims to be her " Confederate" Governor now, has addressed a political manifesto to The Floridian, Tallahassee, in which he says : " Pgyopinions on the subject of separate State se cession were freely, fully, and fearlessly declared to the people at that:time. When. Florida. seceded front the Union my allegiance to the Federal Government was severed, and I owed allegiance only to the State of Florida. But when the Seceding States orga nized a Confederate Government, and Florida rati fied that Institution, my paramount allegiance re verted to the Confederate Government, and to that Government I have given my unwavering support." So you see his allegiance to the Coutederacy paramount to any other, while his allegiance to sea Union was subject to tbegood pleasure of Florida! The rebellion is Justified by just such conflicting and suicidal assumptions.—Trannze. Two Rebel Raids. [From the Louisville (Ky.) Journal, Oct. 27. The pleasant county town of Adair has been cursed by two recent visits from guerilla. band's. The first was by about fifty-two men, on Saturday week, under the notorious lhfisbuty, and the second on Monday last, when two hundred and fifty cc three hundred repeated- the visit under friamitton, Champ Ferguson, K. FE. .Phil.pott and lihlsoury.' On both occasions, as aeon as they entered the town, they commenced the indiscriminate rob bery of every one in the streets, taking watches, money, and valuables, with pistols presented in unpleasant proximity to their victims' heads. They were no iespectera of persons; negroes were assailed with as much sang froid as Nat. Gaither, EN, the son.in,Law and Secretary of State of Governor Beriah- Magolitn, who Lost a valuable watch. The utter • recklessness of these scounorels may be appreciated when we are toed by citizens that Champ Ferguson, a murder-spotted fiend, was the best behaved of the gang. Tney broke open the safe of Suddarth &_Aleisanuer, set tne office on fire, burned the recoros of the Clinton county and circuit courts, which had been brought tome for safety, took away several negroes, all of whom,. but two or three, managed to. elude the vigi lance of their captors and return to their homes. They seized three wagons filled with goods from this city, and drove them on; stripped the town of all the store goods, and wantonly broke up the furniture. Governor Bratalette's extensive law•library, with his private papers and lettant„ was taken off and scattered all along the road for two miles out of the town. - As they were depart- Mg, when they reached the municipal boundary they halted, turned round, and,.witn mingled homer and triumph, gave three cheers for Governor Bram lotto and no more men or money 1: - As they passed out they robbed two stores in Cumberland county, and seized a large number of hareem, and in Adair county they even stripped the rings from the fingers of young ladies. They left in the direction of Over ton county, across the border ; and a large number of this gang of desperadoes were citizen rogues, im „proviaed as robbers for the occasion, and on a thieving excursion from Tennessee. We think, from all the information we have gained;that this raid on Columbia was the most aggravated, wanton, ant - cruel, of any that has been attempted in our tate. Mr. Forney's Speech at Troy A great mass meeting was held in Troy on lkloa, day. The following extracts from tile speeca or JI.C. Forney, reported in the Troy Times, will douJthes be of interest to the readers of The Frees: ADDRES OF COL. FOB.NECT - . Colonel - John W. Forney, who in a moment won the good will of his audience by his cleat, ringing voice, - directness -of thought,ancr'force of speech, soon proved> that the high reputation that hadi preceded him was well deserved. His speteh wait clear, eloquent, and telling. He fin ales/id those present as ielloW-Union zuta—not Re publicans, Democrats, or Americans. tie had just come horn a field of victory—tae well-contested and glorious fields of Perunylvania. [applause.] With out disparaging the triumphs acnieved in sister States, he regarded the result in Pennsylvania as the most marked. In reference to the President, the speaker told a story of Irir. Lincoln, who invited him to the Sol diers' Home, and did him thelioner to read the let ter which he has indited and afterwards sent to the Illinois Convention. When he had done so, he said : " Well, Forney. what do sou think of itt" 1 said, "rdr. President, the criticism on your let ter will be, that you hau'n't said what you are going to do when the rebels had laid sown their arms and sued for peace." President Lincoln—" That is just what I did not propose to do. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. It reminds me of an old. Methodist elder in Illinois, Jabez Dounie, who attended a (I.4srifer enee and just as it broke up, a terrible storm came On. The members of the Conference began to con cult in reference to a certain stream near by, which had a bad habit of rising on such occasion; very suddenly, and rendering it difficult to get across. Elder Donnie cut short their discussion by inter rupting them and saying, Let us wait till we get to the creek, and then God will show us a way to get across.'" in conclusion, the speaker adjured hie hearers to use every effbrt to carry this State. For the-Demo cratic ticket to succeed in New York would rejoice Rem eon Davis more than to drive Gram to the wall and retain the Mississippi. lie leered that his friends here were too cementer: and satiated. Work, work, WORK was needed, as in Pennsylvania. Lec not Jeff Davie view the sad spectacle of the Empire State rolling into the ranks of the enemy ; for noth ing had strengthened the Government so much as the late elections. No, :she must follow Freedom's roll call which has sounded from Mame to California. Thanking his audience for their patient attention, Colonel Forney retired amid great, applause. General McClellan and the Woodward_ Letter. [Ft om the Franklin Repository.] The fact that General McClellan wrote the Wood ward letter against his wishes and convictions does not in any degree mitigate his perfidy and folly ; but it is the truth that it was not a voluntary offering to the Copperhead cause. I simply state what is con iteently ataerted and widely known, When I . declare that a devoted friend of General McClellan's, who either was expressly authorized to speak for him or felt that he had the right to do so, met Governor Curtin in the northeastern part of the State during the late canvass, to consult with him as to the ex pediency of General McClellan writing a letter declaring bimselt in favor of Governor Curtin's re election, or in some other way indicating his con viction that the cause of the army and of the Government demanded Governor Curtin's success. I have every reason to believe that such a proposi tion was made to Governor Curtin or to some of his confidential friends in the Tenth Legion, and that it was the subject or serious consideration. The exact result of the deliberations I do not pretend to know ; but Governor Curtin did not advise General. McClellan to throw himself into the political unt• test. Whether Governor Curtin thought his voice Would be impotent, or his friehdship fatal,T are not prepared to say ; but he did not summon the name Of McClellan to his aid. A consultation was had in this city, in which Dr. McClellan, brother of the General, Dore a conspi cuous part, at which it was resolved that the Gene ral must be made to throw Ilia voice into the contest in behalf of Woodward. Various efforts were made to induce General Mc- Clellan to throUT himself into the political etruggle in behalf of Woodward ; but all failed. He neither made the hoped-for speech, wrote the coveted let. ter, nor played companion to Woodward at therfair. In spite of all the political strategy- practised tlih)11 him, he retired to his quiet retreat an Jersey, un spotted by an open avowal of Cripperheadism. But the prospects of Woodward becoming more and more desperate from day to day, a renewed assault was made upon the Geceral to break down his rest cerice.and (wag him into the deadly embrace of his country's foes. A Southern adveitt • t er, named Salo- MOD,WaS chosen as chiefirn , LlT',:l: be d . eilvered the body according-to nom rtic tin ritLe tor'the funeral. He approached the General in the name of .Tudge Woouteard--was - specially authorized by the Judge to do so, and to'assrue him that Woodward would undoubtedly be elected by frdm 40,000 to 60,000, and that the only way to make the overwhelminepopu lar verdict carry with it Gen. McClellan's positive vindication, and insure his nomination for the Pre-. steer, cy, would be for the General to espouse Wood wale's cause openly, and thus , make the triumph., measurably his own. Thus hunted, worried, and flattered, he finally, at the very last hour, set his' house in order, made his last political testament that anybody will ever care to read, And' sank into the embrace of the foes of the gallant army he once led, and of the country that exhausted itself in fain less effort to make him great.
