DRAB MZEISENGER :—We reached home, in high health and spirits, on Thursday afternoon. A vast crowd of our old friends had assembled at the Landing to receive us, including the wives, sweethearts and "toddlin' wee things" we bad left, in sighs and tears, two long years ago. As we hove in eight of Fort Sedgwiok, (whose starry flag had never been struck to a living foe, however form idable or threatening,) we were roused from the reverie into which most of us had fallen, by a glorious salute from the hundred guns that bristled on its ramparts. As we approached the wharf, we could see .Toz at the old Paizhan, without hat or coat, driving home the charge, and when ready for the match, mounting the ramparts and tossing hie beaver high in air, we could bear his wel coming cheers above the din and confusion, and the almost deafening thunder of the cannonade. "Old Grit" still, thought we, and so we dub him, and so let him be known and called henceforward. The huz sae of the immense crowd on the banks, the waving handkerchiefs of the bright-eyed lassies who had come to greet with smiles their returning lovers, the little children in their gay attire, screaming and clapping their hands in delight, and the long and snowy locks and weak-voiced cheers of the veterans of the party from the up-country who had turned out, per haps for the last time, to hail the home-coming of the boys they had taught to revere and defend the Con stitution and Union as they came from the hands of our Revolutionary fathers, —these, and a thousand other pleasing associations, conspired to make the occasion altogether the happiest and brightest of our lives. As we descended the gangway, you may imagine our surprise at en countering J— H—, the old "Toby-Smoker" and mischief-maker we had left on the "Contraband." He was holding a whispered confab with a half-dozen full-armed and sus picious looking chaps, and nodding and winking and blinking in his usu al sly and knowing way. Curious to know the cause of his mysterious return in advance of the "Constitu tion," we inquired of a Conservative Republican at our elbow what brought him back? and were told he had been furloughed on secret business, and had just reached the county by Rail the day before. We learned, subsequently, he had come back to have certain Democratic editors and speakers mobbed as they disembark ed from the "Constitution," and had only been restrained by a prudent ma rd for the wholeness of his own *ide and the safety of his dupes. Jie left again for "Nigger Shoals" on special train, the midnight after our Arrival, and it is hoped, for the peace and good neighborhood of your emit *unity, wilt never return. So mote it , be!

The rights of the States were sacred from the encroachments of Federal power, and!the limits of the Federal authority were clearly defined and well under stood How stands the case now 7 The triumph of a Northern Sectional party, wl4eh carried a flag of sixteen stars in the campaign of 1860, was thought by the people of the South to jeopard not only their rights in the territories, but the security of the institution of slavery in the States. Notwithstanding the declaration of Republican presses and orators that their party had no wish, or intention to meddle with slavery where it existed, and the assurance of President Lin coln in his Inaugural that he had "no purpose, directly or indirectly, to in terfere with it," and "no lawful right" or "inclination to do so," the Southern hotopurs, doubting the sincerity of these ample professions, asserted the absurd right of secession and resist ed the enforcement of the Federal laws and authority; and now, over all this broad land, from the Potomac to the Tennessee, brother is engaged in deadly strife with brother, and father with son. Nearly a million and a half of hostile bayonets glisten in every morning's sunlight—there is a mourner in almost every household, and the graves of the gallant dead are soattered over the rice-fields of Carolina, the swamps of Virginia, the bill-sides of Maryland and the prairies of Missouri. "Last y ear beheld them full of lusty life"—now they lie, patriot and rebel, side by side, with still hands folded over pulseless hearts. Mothers and wives mourn them with breaking hearts, and decrepid old men totter along, childless and helpless, to.graves that are a glad refuge. Nor is this our only affliction, though it is perhaps the heaviest and bitterest. The stout arm that willingly toiled for the bread of children is lost to them, and want stares in, like a wolf, at the cabin door. The plow lies idle and rusty in the half-finished furrow, and the loom and the anvil are de serted. The tax-gatherer hails you at every corner, the price of many of the necessaries of life is doubled or quadrupled, and paper money is fast losing the little real value it ever had. Swindling army contractors and thieves are plundering the public treasury, imbecility is found in every department of the public service, and the brave men who have boldly ex posed official rascality and defended the public liberties are thrust into bastiles without trial, or being con fronted by their accusers, and are denied the privilege of the Habeas Corpus. Such are the times we h ave fallen on, and such some of the changes that have occurred in our absence.— Is it any wonder the people are wea ry of misrule, and should labor, as they have, of late, for the restoration to power of the loyal old Democratic party ? the only party that has ever governed the country successfully and well.

The Harper's Ferry Commie- WASHINGTON, N0v..104,1862 The following paragraph contains the summing up of the Harper ,s Fer ry Commission, touching General White : Of the subordinate officers referred to in thiti,case, with the exception of Colonel Thomas H. Ford, the Com mission find nothing in their conduct that calls for censure, on the contra ry General Julius White merits its ap probation. He appears, from the ev idence, to have acted with decided capability and courage. The following is the concluding passage which deals with Gen. McClellan : The Commission has remarked freely on the conduct ofOol. Miles, an old officer, killed in one of the battles of our country, and it cannot, from any motives of ilelicacy, refrain from censuring those in high command, when he thinks such censure deserv ed. The General-in-Chief has testifi ed that Gen. McClellan, after having received orders to repel the enemy invading the State of Maryland, marched only six miles per day on an average when pursuing the invad ing enemy. The General-in-Chief also testifies that in his opinion Gen. McClellan could and should have relieved and protected Harper's Ferry, and in this opinion the Commission fully concur. The evidence thus introduced con fims the Commission in the opinion that Harper's Ferry, as well as Ma ryland Heights, was prematurely surrendered. The garrison should have been satisfied that relief, how ever long the delay, would come at last, and that a thousand men killed in Harper's Ferry would have been made a small loss had the post been secured, and probably saved two thousand at Antietam. How import ant was this defense we can now ap preciate. Of the 97,000 men, com prising at that time the whole of Lee's army, more than one-third was attacking Harper's Ferry, and of this the main body was in Virgin i a. By reference to the evidence, it will be seen that at the moment Col onel Ford abandoned Maryland Heights, his little army was in reali. ty relieved by Generals Franklin and Sumner's corps at Crampton's Gap, within seven miles of his posi tion, and that after the surrender of Harper's Ferry, no time was given to parole prisoners even, before twenty thousand troops were hur ried from Virginia, and the entire force went off on the double quick to relieve Lee, who was being at tacked at Antietam. Had the garri son been slower to surrender; or the Army of the Potomac swifter to march, the enemy would have been forced to raise the seiuo, or have been taken in detail, with the river dividing his forces.

From the Army of the Potomac. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, } WARRENTON, Monday, Nov. 10. Gen. McClellan was to have left yesterday for the North, but the transferring of a command like this could not be accomplished in a day, and he was therefore compelled to remain. At nine o'clock last even ing, all the officers, belonging to the Headquarters, assembled at the Gen eral's tent to bid him farewell. The only tonst given, was by General McClellan—The Army of the Poto mac. Gen. McClellan and staff, ac companied by General Burnside, to day, bid farewell to this army, visit ing in succession, the several army corps. As the General rode through the ranks, the torn and tattered ban ners of veteran regi'ts were display ed to greet him, while the thousands of soldiers gave vent, in continuous sounds of applause, to their feelings. The General and staff will leave by a special train to-morrow for the North. M I. The following order was issued by General Burnside on his taking corn mand of the army : In accordance with General Or ders, No. 180, issued by the Presi dent of the United States, I hereby assume the command of the Army of the Potomac. Patriotism and the ex ercise of my every energy in the di rection of this army, aided by the full and hearty co-operation of its officers and men, will, I hope, under the blessing of God, ensure its success.— Having been the sharer of the priva tions, and a witness of the bravery of the old army of the Potomac. in the Maryland campaign, and fully identified with them in their feeling of respect and esteem for General McClellan, entertained through a long and most friendly association with him, I feel that it is not as a stranger that I assume their com mand. To the Ninth Corps, so long and intimately associated with me, I need say nothing. Our histories are identical. With diffidence for myself but with a proud confidence in the unwavering loyalty and determina tion of the gallant army, now intrust ed to my care, I accept its control with the steadfast assurance that the just cause must prevail.

To this there was a spontaneous . and enthusiastic re sponse. 'The troops were also dra'wn up in line at Bristol Station andMan assas Junction, where salutes were fired, and where McClellan was com plimented with enthusiastic ,cheers. The party arrived here this after noon, just in time to take the five o'clock train for Trenton. The cars beiur detained owing to some imped iment on the track, Gen. McClellan was recognized.

In parting from you I cannot express the love and gratitude I bear to you. As an army you have grown up under my care. In you I have never found doubt or coldness. The battles you have fought under my command will pro bly live in our nation's history. The glory you have achieved, our peril and fatigue, the graves of our com rades fallen in battle and by disease, the broken forms of those whom wounds and sickness have disabled, are the strongest assertions which can exist among men that are united. Still by indissoluble tie, we will ever be comrades in supporting the Con stitution of our county, and the na tionality of its people. G. B. MCC • LELLAN, Major General U. S. A Gen.

I have left your sons and brothers too recently to make a speech. Our parting was, indeed, sad. I can say nothing more to you, and I don't think you ought to expect a speech from me."
