letter from home, that I almost begii|to despair
of ever hearing from old’ FirminSon again.
If you are all deadup there.l shouMlnaturally
have supposed that your obituaries |rould have
appeared in the Agitator—but b ;■ this time
you must be sufficiently contrite, sd|| : will come
down to the business before me, tq|t is to in
form you that our Regiment is div||ed up one
Company going this way and anoißjr that. It
fell upon" us to guard-two hospitpfgJ The Stone
Hospital so called from it* owner w|)Qse_ name
is Stone. This hospital is pituatedjjpn .an emi
nence back of and commanding ajfilain, view
of Washington. Ido not know tap. I pan de
scribe it to you, but if you (have ev|r read de
scriptions of mansions surrounded by trees
shrubs and flowers, shady walks, ytai can form
some kind of an idea of what it ljfpust have
been before.tbis war began, but ‘tJgK, accursed
rebellion has thrown its bligblitlft 1 influence
upon every thing around here. liiAead of the
beautiful place I expected to see, e||erj public
building is taken for a hospital, andSihs streets
are perfectly crowded with baggagemnd anibu-,
lance wagons; and. instead !of culiipled fields
and thriving farms, it is all! one vaj| common,
the fences having been buijnlj by i|e soldiers
and everything wears a desolate a£iii disman
tled appearance that is mournful tojjlook upon.
But for ouroth’er charge'thejjCarwsh,Hospital

a few moments to finish this' lon| neglected

have.it, it was my day to apt ajljSergeant of

than 1 ever did milking oh riling days, but
then that done no good, I hpd toriooßio to it.
Now to tell the truth it due* )eem l| little dis

WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOV. 12, 1862.
in New-Yprk, the entire Democratic State
Ticket is elected by' from IOibOO to 15,000‘ma
jorfty—possibly mure. Of the 31 Members of
Congress, we conclude .that 13 are Unionists'
■90.4-18 Asto the Legislature, the
Democrat*.figure up. the Assembly! at 67 fur
.their eide. SO Unionists, and 15 not heard from.
■This would'imply a small Unionmajority. The
Senate is Composed of 22 Unionists and 10.
Democrat's.
In £few:Jer*ey t the Democracy have swept
everything high and dry. Their Governor will
have ; perhaps 15,000 majority; Of the five
Congressmen, four are Democrats, Jn the
Legislature ’ the Democrats will control both)
branches, and. consequently elect a United
.States Senator.
-In Massachusetts, Gov. Andrew, Union, is
re-elected by a very large majority. All the
Congressmen are Unionists, unless Mr. Sleep
er, the peoples’ candidate in the lIId District
should disappoint expectation. The others are
all straight Republican-Colonists. The Legis
lature is, of course, overwhelmingly Republi
can-Union, thus securing the re-election of
Charles Samner to the Senate.
In Illinois the’ Unionists elect five Congress
men, the Democrats . eight, and the Seventh
District is yet in doubt. There are no important
State officers voted for.
-Wisconsin the Democrats gain largely ; they
elect two Congressmen—the Unionists elect
three, and one District is not repotted.
Michigan elects Republican State Ticket
throughout. -
'We.have nothing definite from Minnesota.
St. Paul City is 500 Democratic; two' other
counties 1,000 the other way.
In Kansas it is believed that the entire Union-
Republican State ticket is chosen. . A. C. Wil
der is elected to Congress by about l,odo ma
jority- | .
Little Delaware,nominal Slave State,
stands up boldly for the Union. Latest figures
give Fishdr, Union-Republican, for Congress
nine majority—rather small; but then it is a
■mall State. For Governor, Wm. Cannon, Un
ion-Republican has about 100 majority.
Gen. McClellan has been removed from the
command of the Army of the Potomac, and
retired from active command. The order was
received at headquarters at 11 o’clock on Fri
'ddy night. It was entirely unexpected to all.
On-its receipt the command was immediately
turned over to Goo. Burnside. Gen. McClellan
bnd bis staff were to leave on Sundav for
Trenton, where he is ordered to report. The
order was delivered to him by Oen. Buckingham
in person. His lost official act was the issuing of
an address to his soldiers, informing them, in a
few words, that the command hod devolved on
Gen. Burnside, and taking an affectionate leave
of them. As Gen. Hooker is to take the field,
it is supposed chat he is to take.Gco. Burnside’s
pled as.late commander of bis.corps d’armee.
Gen. Bayard was attacked by the rebels at
Rappahannock bridge on Friday, but repulsed
them. On Saturday he made an attack and
drove the Rebels hack. He holds the bridge
and all tjis neighboring fords, and-has sent
for re-enforcements.
' The Tribune of Monday prints the following
hopeful article on the'removal of General Mc-
Clellan :
At the last hour—too late to save bis friends,
but not too late, we trust, to save the country
—the President has relieved Gen. McClellan
from the command of the Army of the Poto
niac. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnsjde succeeds
him. Gen. McClellan retires for the present
from- what is by courtsey termed active ser
vice.
We are among those who bailed the sum
mons of Geo. McClellan to the chief command
under the President of our with out
spoken hope and joy. We trusted in him as
the predestined right arm of the Republic in
her deadly struggles with her traitorous foes.
It luuk months of stubborn, criminal, fatal
paralysis, in the face of a foe contemptible in
every* element of strength save capacity to
hood ivink onr Commanding General, to cure us
of that fond delusion. Nut tall we had seen
and felt and realized that our fondly imagined
Marcellus bad a ohronjc incapacity for getting
on, did our faith,in him falter. But when
month after month bad passed’away inglorious
ly, while he held One. Hundred ami Fifty
Thousand brave Volunteers idly shivering thro’
a Winter in canvas tents, while our country
was brought to the brink of rain by the immi
nent danger of a war with Great Britain, which
'would soon have widened into a struggle with
all Western Europe, and while Fifty Thousand
Rebels beleaguered Washington, obstructed the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and kept the Po
toaiao closed against our - shipping, that faith
was shaken. And when at ,last, three weeks
after the time set for tbs movement in peremp
tory orders given him four weeks earlier yet,
be adduced to Centreville, and found nothing
but maple cannon to impede his progress, we
gave him wholly up, and the faith that bad
yielded so slowly to ovorwelming evidence
could never be revived.
An.
It dues nut necessarily impeach tba loyalty of
Gen. McClellan that the Rebels have uniformly
.spoken of him as our greatest General, while
every sympathizer with treason in the loyal
States bat been bis noisy and constant idolater
■ The greater and more obvious hie shortcomings,
the louder and more unmeasured have been
their oommewlations. They saw that he was

-the advantage is always and inevitably with’
the patty that is familiar with the-ground, has
seriously thinned the rank* of the invading
aripy, while those of his antagonist has been
swelled by the Icvy.rn masts to a superiority
of numbers, when i the General who should
maintain the offensive is attacked and worsted.
The itivader who hesitates, and fears to strike,
and stands on the defensive, is doomed.
It has been Gen. McClellan’s misfortune, and
still more the. country’s, that his intimate
friends and trusted counselors were nearly all
at heart opposed to *n unqualified discomfiture
of the Rebels. They are Unionists after their
fashion —they would not have the Republic di
vided nnd runted—but they have no concep
tion of, no liking for, any other settlement of
our troubles than one which shall be based on
Compromise —that js, buying off the traitors
from persistence in their treason by new con
cessions, new guaranties, to Slavery. Their
ideal bond of Union is a chain around the
slave’s neck with d gag in every'freeman’s
mouth. These me-h* desired the War spun out
through months of prodigal but fruitless inac
tion until tbe exhausted,-discouraged people
should be driven,in' desperation to call on our
Seymours, Joel Parkers and Fernando Woods
to end the struggle by giving the - Rebel chiefs
whatsoever.they might be pleased to ask,as the
price of their condescending to resume the
government of the country.. The fact that
these chiefs had stubbornly refused to resume
the overseership of ! the Union on any terms
has been willfully ignored by these politicians,
who could not believe, even with their experi
ence at Charleston in 1860 to enlighten them,
that tbs Rebels prefer absolute, indefeasible
rule over half the country to a qualified and
precarious sway over the whole of it. But the,
truth is that the slavebolding oligarchy are
weary of the sham whereby they are designa
ted Democrats and [disgusted with their alli
ance With the Five Points, the Hook, and other
dens of- coarse depravity and debauchery at
tbe North. Such associations give them an
uncleanly feeling Of disgust and self-abase
ment, from which they have long wished to-be
delivered. They have seized upon the present
as their opportunity, and will not be persuaded
to forego it. :
Gen. BubnsidS' fought gallantly at Bull Run;
be led ably and victoriously tbe brilliant cam
paign in North Carolina; be was called thence
to re-enforce McClellan after his reverses be
fore Richmond ; and. he ably commanded the
left wing at tbe battle of Antietaro. Thus far,
he has done well whatever work has been al
lotted him; and we trust be will, in his new
and more arduous position, justify the hopes
and retrieve the fortunes of bis country. That
be will at all events avoid Gen. McClellan’s
cardinal error of treating the orders of his bus
perior as so much waste paper, we are.confident.
If he cannot obey, ;he will ask to be relieved
from bis command. And, though the Rebel
Grand Army has once, more completely eluded
our forces, through Ge)i. McClellan’s persistent
disobedience to the'blpresß orders of tbe Gen
eral-in-Chief and of the President, and,
matching around our slowly-creeping front,
has placed himself once more between our ad
vance and Richmond, we believe that be will
yet be compelled to fight a decisive- battle be
fore going into winter-quarters or abandon
Virginia to the arms of the Union. But we
shall judge Gen. Burnside by results, not by
our prepossessions. Should be spend the com
ing Winter, as fruitlessly, ingloriously as Gen.
McClellan did the last, we shall not hesitate to
cull in the Spring for bis removal as openly
ank earnestly ah we did that of his halting
predecssor. j

Ve Are now snugly quartered for the winter,
but Old Negler haa come back and taken com
mand of the brigade again ; and it would be
just iike'bini, while McClellan is taking bis win
ter’s tleejp up in Ptinnsylvani, or near there, to
take Jibe 62d, rush up and take Richmond, and
smash things generally. Nothing suite him so
welt as a fight, and he plainly tella tells us that
he don’t want more! than a full regiment of 52d
boys to do it with. ■
Wo still drill on the heavy artillery, mounted
on the fort, though’ ths afternoon drill of two
hours, is now occupied in drilling in infantry.
The regiment dues not form a solid square to
compare with the one it could make lost spring
at Washington, but what is left of it, can and
will do a regiment's work, if itis allowed a fair
chance. Ido nut mean in digging ditches and
learning the manual of the shovel and pick, fur
we got that perfectly when up the Peninsula.
There is a number of hundred or contra
bands employed inland around the fort, in lev
eling the ground, strengthening the wal|«, and
doing all kinds of Work generally. This place
is muub stronger, healthier; and in every way
better by their (abort in Working for themselves

i Did Abolitionists, Make the War ?— lt is
. asserted that those who insist on political or
. ganizotion, that Abolitionists made tire war.—
Well, suppose they did, is the danger any less
1 to onr institutions than if it .Bad .originated in
1 other causes ? Can we permit'oa'r edifice to’be
: destroyed'because a comparatively small num
. ber of persons kindled the conflagration ? Is
it not hs much tbe dpty of the whole people
to preserve the edifice as though the misfortune
were ' (he result of circumstances where, no
party whatsoever could be chargeable with
wrong? But Abolitionists did not make' the
war. It was neither because of slavery nor
, anti-slavery. These elements were made a pre
. text, and employed as trading capital by the
conspirators and villains who inaugurated this
rebellion, for the purpose of uniting, as far as
possible, tbe minds of the Southern people in
the false idea tW'their institution was in dan
ger. This war is the fruit of a.wicked and un
hallowed ambition, commenced for the purpose'
of elevating .demagogues, of the vilest type,-to
places of power in this Government, or a new
one to be formed for their convenience and ac
. eomtncdation. It was waged upon the loyal
people because Satan took Jeff. Davis and hi?
associates up into an exceeding higlh' place on
tbe Blue Ridge Mountains, [laughter] nnd
showed him all the southern kingdoms below,
and promised that all these things he would
give them‘to enter the service of bis sable
majesty. They were weak and wicked enough
to suppose he possessed some title to the terri
tory in view, [roars of laughter] and entered
his service accordingly, acknowledging him
commander-in-chief—a position which he stilt
holds, they noting as his subordinates, nnd
having the advantages of the rebellion as the
(.reward of their enterprising exertions.— D. S.
I Dickinson’s Sjjcech, at Albany.
Refuges who have reached the United States
bark King Fisher, on the coast of Florida, re
port that the late destruction,of the extensive
steam salt works in St. Joseph’s'Buy, Florida,
on the Bth ult., by tbe King Fisher was a heavy
blow to the Rebels, and created great. excite
ment throughout Georgia and Florida, these
works having been tbe main source on which
these States relied for a supply of salt fur the
Winter’s provision for their troops, and that it
was a greater injury ia the Rebel cause than
if we had captured 20,000 of their troops.
Apples are so plenty in Western New York
that they cun be bought for fifty cents a bar
rel,! Potatoes show no symptoms of . disease,
and tbe best ones- are sold fur a -dqllar a bar
rel,.including package. One farmer has an
orchard of choice grafted fruit, and offered the
whole of his crop of apples at twelve and a
half cents per bushel, the purchaser to gather
tbe fruity and select only such as be-' wanted
and conld sell.
The 12th District, (Luzerne and Susque
hanna.) sunt about 5,000 volunteers to the ar
my, and yet the Democrats polled at; the late
election 1,777 votes more than at tbe Presi
dential election in 1860, and the Republicans
2,057 less. This accounts for Grow’s defeat,
and is another proof that the men who vote
the butternut ticket are not the men who fight
for their country.
Unless everybody conspires to lie outrageous
ly, the condition of tbe Rebel army is extreme
uncomfortable. A young man who was-in
Winchester on Saturday evening, represents
the condition of that army at that point as aw
ful beyond desription. He says tbe small-pox
and typhoid fever are raging fearfully, and
that at least fifty or sixty are dying daily. He
counted in one spot 56 dead bodies which had
remained unboned for two or three days.
' The -Slaves and the Proclamation. —A
soldier from Delaware county, 'lowa, states
that the first information he had of the Presi
dent’s proclamation'was from a runaway T negro
slave in Northern Mississippi. The soldier
did'not hear it from northern sources till he
bad arrifed within twelve miles of the Ohio ri
