A general order, designed-to oorreot several’evlls

Issued yesterday by Majl Gen. Warren, command

yrs found selling boots or shoes to enlisted men, in
any arm of the service, will have their goods seized,
arid bo' compelled to leave the corps/’ Section*
provides - that “ all men detailed as Jtorks will
be at once armed and' equipped, so that they
can be; employed., in the' ranks or,, defences, if
necessary. .In ,all future marches," all pack-ani
mals, servants, and others,-who are allowed to go
to the rear during an engagement,.will be assembled
by brigade, under some proper officers, and follow
in rankSj.propcrlv closed up on the rear,of their
division. ..The number of theseCpetaons lining, the

notice is given to officers If they entrust their, effects
to unanthorlzod means of conveyance that they wiii
be- destroyed.” TMs order was. as .neoessari? as-it
will prove effective, if properly carried, out. The
portion of section fourth compelling clerks to fling
aside the pen for the spade and musket is rather
unpalatable to some of those concerned, and occa
sions some grumbling, bat none ,of them question its
propriety...
There is little or no news of interest, to be re

CORRESPONDENCE HETWitISM GUN. QUANT AND GEN.
LEE—SUPPLIES TO BE 808 WARDED TO PBISON-
BBS NORTH AND SOUTH,
The New York Times contains the following in
teresting; communication from its Washintgon cor
respondent :
WASHINGTON, Thursday, Oct. 27.—1 t will glad
den' the whole country and carry joy and heart’s
ease to {hundreds :of thousands of homes- to learn
that an.arrangementhas been , made whereby those
who linger In Southern prisons will henceforth re
ceive . adequate; supplies of food and telothlng. Id
the impossibility general exchange of'pri&on
;ers. It is a matter, of- rejoicing that their tsuflerings
will be thus lar alleviated, : and they made as com
fortable as it is possible for men in captivity to be.
The agreements looking to this benefileent end, has
just been concluded between Gens. Grant and lise,
■and only awaits;the settlement of practical details
to take immediate effect.
The proposition, be it said to the credit of tie
rebels,- came from themselves, and was first made
in communication under date of the Gth Inst.; ad
dressed by. Mr. Ould, Confederate agent of exchange,
to Major .General Hltchcook, commissioner of ex
• change ,for the" United States. Mr. Ould’s conraui
nicatlon In substance recited that as there is a pros
pect of/alarge of prisoners being held by
both sides during the coming , winter,-it it desirable
that each belligerent, without being freed from the
obligation of feeding and clothing the prisoners held
by them respectively, should be allowed to furnish
their own, captives in the-other’s hands with such
additional comfort as humanity may prompt. Ho
therefore proposed that,we shall be permitted to
, BCl >d to the South' clothing, blankets, and supplies
for our prisoners in th© bands of the Confederates—
they.ieing allowed-to do the same hy their prison
ers in our-hands.,,-He.further proposed--that they
shall be allowed to purchase abroad the articles in
tended for their prisoners held by us. r ' ■' l
./This overture was referred to General Grant, who
replied in a communication to General i Lee,under;
: date, of the ; lBth ; inst., accepting Mr. Ould’s propo
rtion, and stating , that ,he was, authorized by the
Secretary of War to make arrangements for the
>mutnal- relief of-prisoners beldiby the two parties?
‘‘.Looking/the - adds, “entirely to the,alleviation
of the sufferings of those held in captivity, I .will
not interpose any obstacle, to any plan that may be
.agreed upon that gives equal privileges to both bel
ligerents.”- '. - ■ ■ ■.
GcneralX.ee, on the following day, October 19, re
plied to General Grant, acknowledging the fecoipt
of his communication, and stated that he took it as
an acceptance on the part of General Grant or Mr.
Gold's i plan. . He - suggested-, further, that the
articles sent to the prisoners should be confined to
articles of necessity and comfort, as clothing,
blankets, meat, bread, coffee, sugar, pickles
vinegar and tobacco; and proposed that an officer
from each side should, be specially detailed and pa
roled, to see to the faithful execution of the arrange
ment.-' . ■ “
On the following day, October 20th, Gen. Grant
rejoined, stating that; Gen. Lee had ;rightly under
- stood his former.communication in -the sense of an
-aocepta-Bceef proposition, arid reiterated
his solicitude for the well being of our prisoners, 4 as
-well as those of the rebels. “It Is”’ declared Gen.
Grant, “my desire that all prisoners of war should
be made as comfortable as it is possible for prisoners
under restraint to be, and I. will favor any proposi
tion looking to that end.” Gen. Grant, moreover,
requested that a detailed plan should - be made for
carrying this purpose into effect.
ThlsoommunlcationclosesaU.of this interesting
correspondence between Generals Grant and Lee
that has so far taken place, and thus' the matter
now rests. It Is earnestly to be hoped'-that the
practical details will be completed with all possible
promptitude, so as to permit this beneficent mea
sure to take immediate effect.

The Associated Press announcement- of the ad
journment of the Cincinnati Peace' State Eights
Convention gives a wrong construction as to results.
The Convention postponed nominations with a view
-to urge the strength of the Peace party to the sup
port ofAbrabam,Lincoln, believing he will, after
his'election, join them in a policy to secure speedy,
peace. -Ari executive committee haß been appointed
. for e a.ch State. A Convention will be hold in Phila
delphia: on the last Monday in December, 1864 j to
consist of-a representation from each State equal to
the Congress of the United States. The purpose of
the Convention will be: -
/- First.: To make nominations for President and Vice
President:,of the United States for 1863, under the 5
Jeffersonian State-rights platform, adopted by the
Convention at Cincinnati.
Second? To unite upon a peace policy to urge on
President Lincoln, his Cabinet, and the people. -
Third.- To - make said nominations and action the
basis .of State . and Congressional representation,
with a view to destroy the power. of Richmond.
“ Belmont,” and other unfaithful leaders of the De
mocratic /party; and to secure a regenerated Re
public under patriot rule,--
The Cincinnati Convention designed—
-Ist. To defeat General McClellan.
2d. To secure peace.
3d. To restore:to power true Democratic princi
ples. .
' They deem that the foregoing objects of the com
ing Phils delphia Convention—with the vote of the
peace men for President Lincoln—will accomplish
the first arid second ; the third is secured: through
the success of the principles of the party as an
nounced at Cincinnati—in the language of a lead
ing Southern statesman, .“.the soundest constitu
tional doctrine and the wisest policy that has ema
nated from the North since the-war.” The address
adopted by the Convention, containing the record
-of General McClellan—showing him unworthy of
public support—will bri issued inpamphlet form.

in what Is called light literature. T. B. Peterson &
Brothers,,of Philadelphia, have just brought out a:
new novel by Mrs. Hubbaek, author of “ The Wife’s
Sister,” and other popular works of fiction,. It is
entitled “ Love and Duty,” and is a highly inte
resting story of modem English society. The inci
dents are not sensational, the characters are ably
drawn, and the moral Is unexceptionable. We
recommend “ Love and Duty” as a safe book—that
Is, parents need not dread seeing; their daughters
read it. Petersons announce as nearly ready 11 Os
wald 1 Cray,P Mrs. Henry /Wood’s now novel, which
they will publish eight weeks before It can appear
In England—having given $2,000 for the copyright;
also,- “The Lost Love,” by the author of “ John
Ilrayton;” Mrs. General Yiele's “ Following the
Drum;’’ “Family Secrets,’’by.the: author of “Fa
mily Pride“:Thc Woman in Rod “ Lion
Hearted,” by Mrs. Gray.; Tom Bowling,” by Cap.
tain Ohamier; “The Fallen Angel,” by A. Dumas;
and “ The Bohemians In- London,” by Edward M.
Whltty.
Atlantic Monthly November has reaebed us
throughT, B. Peterson & Brothers, and also through
T. B. Pugh, Chestnut street. It contains thirteen
articles,' in prose and Verse, besides reviews': of
books. Among these, as particularly noticeable;
Mrs. Stowe’s “ House and Home Papers,” a story
called' “ Lina,” stanzas by Tuckennan addressed
to Bryant, and a further lot of Charles Lamb’s un
colleoted writings, may be mentioned with eulogy.
There is a strong, sensible paper on tub approach
ing •’residential clectfon, and a pleasantly.satlrl
cal cut; called “ The New School of Biography,”
at the new ,a.nd absurd fashion of taking men’s
lives, and holding eminent people up as, the
i “ Pioneer Boy,” or" the “ Bobbin Boy,” or the
“Tanner Boy,” or the “Ferry Boy,” or the “MIL
ler Boy;” and so on. The only way to deal with'
such Impertinence and absurdity "is-to laugh it out
oi our literature.

business. Its real estate consists or oil lands al

ready taken, and ah able agent Is now on his way to'.
Europe, to hell another portion of' it in that market.'
This, state of-things (removes the 1 enterprisafrom ■
among I mere speculations, and places it at once in
the class of assured investments. In view, of the

OOPI>EBBBAD A.'MTHMBTIO ON, THJ3 HOME VOTH.
—The Harrisburg Velegraph exposes-in a few words
the system by whloh-the manipulators of the-Demo
oracy figure up a majority of 467;on>th8 home vote.
A few' days since they claimed not less-than 5,000,
but tha - real; figures on the'home vote stand as fol
lows:
For (he Union Congressmen..........
For the Copperhead Congressmen..
.... Uniorfmajority.
In order to cypher out a for their candi
dates, they wilfully lie in the returns from the fol
lowing counties:
In Adams county they claim ill majority. The
real majority Is 365—a lie of 46 votes.
, In Fulton they claim 290. The official is 25-B—a
lie of ,2 votes.
to Clarion they elalm 986.' The official Is 968-a
lie of ,18 votes.
, In Cambria they claim l,o:o.- The official is 1 043
—a lie of 27 votes.
In Westmoreland they claim 1,478.' The official la
1,477—a Ue of T vote:- -
In Torkthey claim'2,BBo. The official Is 2,808—a
.lie of 72 votes. : .
Several other manifest mistakes are down in their
tables; but these are' more than’ sufficient to show
that the calculation is made for the purpose of
cheating Union men out of the bets which they ini
educed them to make. The whole Union majority
will not be less than 15,000. '
Danibb ■S. Dickinson, the great veteran war
' Democrat, has aohleved tlierreputatlon of writing

_ -, Aihohamtok, October i5,'1864.
Gentlemen: The hard cold I took a few davs
since’ at a Union gathering-Btill afflicts merand in
terferes so serlouBlywitbithe'“ freedom of speech »
that ! am for the present, much to my regret, com
pelled to abstain from all forensic effort. But there
'are- enough In the: field tef rally the* masses, and
when they move, a victory for truth and Union Is
not far off. Pennsylvania, Ohio', and Indiana have.
shown ub the course of the popular currents, and let
us not believe, nor permit others to do so, that the
Empire State is less patriotic' than her noble sisters.
It looks now as though the “ contingent remainder”
of the Chicago Convention, after the Bth of Novem
ber, would be taxed, under the' internal revenue law,
as- “beaten copper.” The uncomfortable position*
in which they have placed General McClellan, for
whom' I bespeak yonr sympathies,- Bhows them to be
both Cruel and exacting. They declare the war a
failure In the face of an armed, unscrupulous, and
wily enemy, and propose to negotiate for peace, after
admitting that the rebellion has mas’tored-us. /
f Upon this poor, abject, and jhded nag they place
the General, and then exhort- him to ride into the
White House, though they kno w thathe is entirely
unaccustomed to forced marches.- Evidently fear
ing the success or the peace policy, at the risk of
both? speed and bottom, the ’General* endeavors ho
place one root oil the war horse, travelling In an op
posite direction from his own, and Is just no.v prac
ticing more extended movements: than any his’mUl
’ taiy experience has afforded; Dean Swift, though
a clergyman, was aooustomed to give way to Ms
wit, sometimes at the expenseof his veneration. On
one occasion, a tailor who-'had laid aside his shears
and press-board for the desk and the Bible,’sought
to confute the Dean’s views upon some passage of
Scripture, which he cited. . .The.Deau-yielded grace
fully,bat said there was another passage which had
occasioned him great embarrassment. Said he to
the tailor,' I have been reading in Revelations - that
: an angel came down and stood one foot on the sea and
the other on dry land:? now It lies within your line to
tell how many yards,of cloth it would take to make
him a pair oi breeches! I have never learned that
the clerical tailor ever gave an answer ; but if he did,
the General should, by all means, find It, and have
his measure taken, accordingly .-The latter will,
however, be done,’and'-thatmost effectually, on the
Sth day of November.
Yours, truly, D. S. Dickinson.
“Democratic Appeal ” to tbc People ol
Southern Pennsylvania.
To the Editor of The Press: , v,' _
Sin : The_„DamO(3ratlc Resident -Committee or
Washington City have issued an address to the peo
ple of Southern Pennsylvania, appealing to them.to
vote for McClellan and Pendleton upon the ground
that the Democratic party will give them protection
In the future, and will compensate them for losses in
the past. " -
Evidently, the Hon. Charles Mason, the author of
this address, is Ignorant of the f&t that “a bill to
provide for ascertaining and: adjusting claims for
Injury and destruction of property by the army of
the United States, or by military authority, during
the present rebellion,” has already passed the House
of Representatives, and is now pending In the Se
nato; and that the Democratic candidate for the
Vico Presidency, Hon. George H. Pendleton, of
Ohio, voted against the bill. _
If he will turn to the Journal of the House, or to
the Congressional Globe, and examine the proceed
ings on the 17th and 18th of June last, he wIU find
that the bill (H. B-', 833,) was considered *on both
those days, and passed oil the. latter by a vote Of
yeas 73, nays 5C—Mr. Pendleton being in the nega
tive. ' ' ■: .
The vote was not a party one. Several other pro
minent Democrats opposed it—such as Bliss of
Ohio, the two Allens of Illinois, Ancona, Dawson,
'and Stiles,'of- and others.
It is [enough,-however, for the. present, to know
that Mr. Pendleton voted against it, and that the
claim made by Mr. Mason, “that the Democratic
party have always been-in favor of making compen
sation for tile losses “ sustained by the people of the
Border States, Is wholly unsustalned by the facts, so
far as Mr. Pendleton is concerned. -

Votes in tlie Army,
To the Editor of The Press.
Sie : lam a soldier In the 88th Eegiment P. V.,
the famed Scott Legion.' On last election day I
was very anxious to vote, and supposing arrange
ments would-be made for conducting the election, I
made' my mind perfectly easy. When the election
day came there were no tickets to be. had, no ar
rangements had been made, and worse.than, all, no
information could be obtained in reference to the
residences of voters and the names of.candidates.
The Democratic soldiers were fully prepared, and
all the Information that we could gain was obtained
from their-Democratic documents. Some of us had'
received-tickets from our friends at home, and ac
cordingly 1,-with one or two others, satup all night
and printed off tickets on a press that was used for
doing work at one of the headquarters, : I mention ',
this .to you, In order that our friends should be pre
pared for the eleotion. when the .Presidency Is to
be decided. .1 am convinced that hundreds of votes
were lost hy this negligence,; The Democrats
bronght a poll- book along, and if, it had not been
for this not a Union vote would, have been polled In
many ; of the regiments, or in any of. the Pennsyl
vania regiments now lying at City Point, The hos
pitals obtained a poll-book fFom Mr. McGrath, and
their tickets from myself and ,a comrade who sat up
with me and struck off the tickets. As lam known
to you personally, I send my name for the benefit of.
those who desire any Information on this subject.

spirited and picturesque language pits me as are,
which is that.of Dante’s “ Divine’ Comedla;” short
ened by two syllables, Is new, we believe; in'Engllsh
poetry. The “Ode to America” is-a noble prbduo
tion, as-witness these lines from the'seoond strophe:

In the way of a martial lyric, what oan- bs- better
than tMs: - - ~
“DBASOOW’S SONG;”
“ Clash, clash goes the sabre against my stead’s aids;
Kilng, kling go the rowels as onward I ride;.
And all my bright harness Is living and speaks,
'And under my horse’s shoes - the frosty ground
'.creaks..'-:■ - ■ - ' f
I wave my buff glove to the girl whom I love,
Then join my dark squadron, and forward Pnsove.
The foe,-all secure, has laid down by his gun;
I’ll open his eyelids before the bright sun,
-I bunt on his pickets ; they scatter, they fly : "
Too late they awaken—’cis only to die.
Now the torch to their camp; I ! H make It alamp,
A s back to my quarters so slowly X tramp.
“Kiss, kissme, my darling! your lover is here.
Nay, kiss off the smoke-stains; .keep back that
bright tear; ■ . . -•' .
Keep back that, brightteartfllthe day whenleome -•...-
To the low-wiling file, and the deep-rolling drum,
W ith a bullet half through this bosom so true,:
To die, as-I ought, for my country and you,”,'
The poems on more abstract , themes, as “-Ore
mus,” “Ad Foetas,” “The Flag,” &e., do not strike
us as being equal to those we have mentioned,
which suggests the reflection that a war lyric, -
above all others, must deal with the-outward and >
the palpable. In order to be successful. , A.single
Incident of battle Is, likewise,’more adapted to po
etical purposesthan a battle Itself,-the-movement
and detail of the latter, distracting, the attention of
the reader and injurfngithe unity of the poem; A
sea fight appears to be an exception to this rule, be
cause the.action, or at, any rate our interest in it,
is confined to the vessels engaged therein; whichr
for the timMbeing, are endowed with; a. sort of per-. -
sonality, and claim'our sympathies like- personal
combatants; i Such, at least, is the-effaet which Mr.
Boker produces by his admirable description of the.
fight between the Merrimac and the Cumberland,
and, in a larger degree,-the combatants being more ■
numerous, by “ The Ballad of New-Orleans.”
The introduction of any element, e;:copt the war
like, as-pblitics, for instance, or morality, strikes us
as being “from the purpose” ofa war lyric, though,
we allow, the difficulty of avoiding, it sometimes,
particularly in a struggle like- the present. Mr.
Boker’s “Black Eegiment” Is hot. to our taste,
partly for, the reason above stated,.and partly be
cause we believe it to be based upon a fiction ; nei
ther is his “ Song .for the Loyal National League.”
We owe it to ourselves to say as much as ,this, and
to Mr. Boker to say: no more, bur object not
being .to criticise his politics, which, a ire bad, but his
poetry, which is good. For the remainder of his
volume, which contains six pieces, classed under the
head.of “ Miscellaneous Poems,” It is,: in all re
spects, worthy of. his genius. The two Oriental
poems, “Prince A-deb,” and “ Abou’s Charity,” are
finely handled ; warm and picturesque in tone, r and
thoroughly permeated with the Eastern spirit—that
rich but subtle spirit which evaded Moore when he
manufactured “ Lalla ;BockU ! ’ , but,has smiled,on
some of: our. own .singers, as,Mr. Bayard Taylor, In
his glowing and spirited “ Poems of the Orient;” ;
“ Winter Winds” is a sad and mournful requiem,
and MElisha Kent Kane ’’a.touchtng dirge on the . '
death of that “good Christian knight.?’ Oh the
whole; Mr. Boker has reason to congratulate him
self on the excellence.of. his volume, which ought
to, and wo trust will, enlarge his circle'off reader*
and add to the reputation which he has already
won. -
