HARRISBURG, PA.
Monday Afternoon, November 25, 1861.
RAILROAD via CUMBERLAND VALLEY
TO WASHINGTON CITY.
A correspondent writes to us that he has ia
formation on the subject that the charter for
the Metropolitan Railroad was to be renewed,
and the road to be completed from Washington
city immediately to a point on the Potomac
river near Rockville, about twenty miles dis
tant from Hagerstown, Md. The distance
from Hagerstown to Washington is about fifty
eight miles, and from Harrisburg to Hagers
town it is seventy-five miles, making the dis
tance from the capital of this state to that of
the nation, in all, by the Franklin and the pro
posed Metropolitan Railroad, one hundred and
thirty-three miles. This is the distance as near as
we can arrive at the length of the road, thus
contemplated, by memory. The charter of the
Franklin Railroad terminates its route at Hagers
town, but there is no doubt that the route
could be extended so as to connect with the Me
tropolitan road, as the Legislature of Maryland
will shortly be in session, and could doubtless
be induced to grant any amendment to th e
Franklin Railroad proposing such an extension
of the new route for the purpose of connecting
with the Metropolitan road on the Potomac
river at Rockville.
While the Metropolitan road would open up
a new route to Washington city it would not
diminish the distance between the great
west and the great north-east and the
federal metropolis. The travel from these
localities in the direction of Washington
city will in the future pass through Har
risburg, and when once arrived at this point it
will naturally pass over the shortest route hence
to Washington. As we have shown, the dis
tance via the Franklin railroad through Hagers
town and over the proposed Metropolitan rail
road, is just one hundred and thirty-three miles,
while by the old route, over the. North
ern Central railroad to Baltimore and
thence to Washington city, the distance
is only one hundred and eighteen miles_ lieinse a gain
over the new route of thirteen miles. This gain,
when economy and dispatch are essential to suc
cess in trade and travel, would enter largeky in
to a preference for the shorter route, but as
competition is now the action of all business,
it can afford no argument against the competi
tion of this new route. We have no doubt that
by the time of the completion of the Metropolitan
and its connection with the Franklin railroad, the
business of the country will be ample for both
routes. It is a subject, as it now stands, worthy
of the attention of capitalists, and for the success
of business and the development of all parts of
the country, we trust that the enterprise may
be pushed to a speedy completion.
TENNESSEE.
The Union men in east Tennessee are to-day
in a position of great responsibility, and it will
depend on their efforts whether that portion of
that state, with the adjoining territory of Ken
tucky, is to be entirely ridden of the rebels.
The bold stand taken by the loyal men of east
Tennessee, has also aroused the rebels, who are
now convinced that they cannot rule as their
coadjutors ruled in Virginia, and that the Union
men of Tennesee and Kentucky are determined
to fight their cause from house to house, and
drench their homes in blood, rather than give
up the principles which have made them free
and independent. These men in east Tennessee
deserve well of the country.. They have
practiced all that they profess for the Union,
and they therefore should be sustained at all
hazards. We believe that the federal govern
ment is determined to do this, from the fact
that they are ordering some of the very best
troops from the east to the localities in Tennes
see and Kentucky thus menaced. The fact,
too, that many of the picked troops from Penn
sylvania are already in those states, and that
many more are about to march in that direc
tion, shows that the government is determined
to protect those in the rebel states who show
the least sign of loyalty and devotion to the
cause of the Union.
While thus referring to the danger of the
loyal men of east Tennessee, we are strongly
reminded that there is one man, a native and
citizen of that state, who has professed great de
votion to the Union, but who has lately been
silent on the subject of its defence. We allude
to Emerson Ethridge. He left Tennessee at the
first alarm, and has since refused to say a word
on thesubject of coercion by the force of arms in
suppreliiing this rebellion, because, as we nn
deritand he alleges that, if he should declare
his fi►vpr for the force of arms, the interests of
his family would suffer at home, the business of
his friends would be Imperiled, and the wealth
of his father in law-be placed at the mercy of
rebel confiscation. It is even declared in Wash
ington city, that Mr. Ethridge refused to speak
in Maryland during the late contest in that
state, unless it was positively fixed that no re
porter be present to report his speech. If this
is true, Mr. Ethridge, as an officer in the legis
lative branch of this government, is not enti3
tied to much confidence.
THE CAPTURE QUESTION ONCE MORE.
As there is still an uneasy feeling among a
few nervous people about the recent capture of
the rebel emissaries Mason and Slidell, it may
be well to re-state distinctly the two points in
volved. The first is the right of Captain Wilkes
to board and search the British steamer ; and
here we must carefully keep in mind the difier
ence between the right of search in time of
peace, which our Government has always de
nied, and the right of belligerents to stop and
search neutral vessels for articles contraband of
war, which is a right conceded by international
law and the general consent of civilized nations.
Not only is it conceded, but it was rigorously ex
ercised by the British government during the
Crimean war. A New York cotemporary has a
letter from a gentleman who was at that
time United States Consul at Hamburg,
which states that an English steam cut
ter was stationed before that port con
stantly during the war, and no neutral. Euro
pean vessel was permitted to enter or leave the
port of Hamburg without being first examined
for contraband goods.
Captain Wilkes had, therefore, the right to
stop the steamer Trent, as she was sailing near
our own coast, and as he had satisfactory evi
dence that she had taken on board, in Havana,
despatches of. the enemy, which are distinctly
mentioned as contraband in the Queen's procla
mation, and officers of the rebel government,
who are not less distinctly mentioned in the
same document, which refuses protection to
British subjects for "carrying officers, soldiers,
despatches, military stores or materials, or any
article or articles considered and deemed to be
contraband of war according to the law or mo
dern usage of nations."
Captain Wilkes might have made prize of the
Trent, under the Queen's prochonation, On - the
single count that she was carrying drispatches.
Suppose he had brought her into New York as
a prize, would not the rebel emissaries have
been equally in our hands P We repeat what we
wrote some days ago, that so far from making
complaint of the conduct of Captain Wilkes, the
British Government, if it notices the case at all,
will thank our government for its considerate
ness and courtesy in not capturing a vessel which
carried the mails, and :whose capture, though
perfectly justifiable by the law of nations, must
have caused much inconvenience to the mercan
tile community in Great Britain. The British
Ministry will most probably view the act of
Captain Wilkes and its approval here as an
other evidence of the gratifying fact that, while
our government must use all the rights of war
to sustain itself against its enemy, it means to
make the exercise of those rights as little annoy
ing and hurtful to neutral nations as is compati
ble with its own duty of self-defence.
THE REGIMENTAL FLAGS.
The appropriation made at the last extra ses
sion of the Legislature, to provide flags for all
the regiments contributed by Pennsylvania in
obedience to the requisition of the Federal Gov
ernment, has been so far expended with the
most judicious care, and a majority of the regi
ments supplied with their colors. The regi
ments thus provided for, were visited in person
and the flags presented by Governor Curtin
himself, but as the session of sh e L e .o./ature is
— r un, . 1 . 1 ....m0nuig, with its accumulated
business and the increased responsibility it will
impose on the Executive, it becomes impossible
for Governor Curtin to Visit the distant regi
ments in person, for the purpose of presenting
the flags to which they are entitled. In view
of these facts, and in consideration also that the
regiments which are without flags may at any
moment be ordered to , localities into which it
would be impracticable and impossible to fol
low them, it has been suggested that a commit
tee be appointed from our Congressional dele
gation, whose business it shall be to facilitate
and see that the Pennsylvania regiments near
Washington as yet without, be at once pro
vided with their proper colors. During our
short visit to Washington we heard the expres
sion of some impatience on this subject, grow
ing out of the fact that delay has been unavoid
able, and that the postponement of the presenta
tion of the flags to certain regiments has been
owing also to the fact of delay in their prepara
tion.
We trust that the idea we have suggested
above, of appointing a committee to attend to
these presentations, will be responded to by the
state authorities, and that in the selection of
the men for this pleasant duty, care will be
taken that only such be named as will give the
business their immediate and earnest attention.
However insignificant the possession of a regi
mental flag may appear to others, to a regi
meat of soldiers it is a matter of great interest,
as well as an object of pride, by which their
valor and determination are both stimulated.
WHAT IT IS 2Y FEED AN ARMY.
The Union forces, regulars and volunteers,
now in the field and in the course of organiza
tion, amount, in round numbers, to six hundred
and fifty thousand men. It may be interesting to
know what an army of this strength will con
sume in the course of one month. We there
fore append the following figures, which are
strictly correct:
14,625,000 pounds of pork, or 24,376 pounds of
fresh beef.
136,994 barrels of flour.
48,760 bushels of beans, or 1,950,000
pounds of rice.
1,950,000 pounds of coffee.
2,892,000 pounds of sugar.
196,003 gallons of vinegar.
•
12,249 bushels of salt.
8,580.000 pounds of potatoes.
The supply of candles is 292,500 pounds each
week, and of soap 780,000 pounds.
MANY of the most intimate friends of Gen.
Scott believe that he will never return to this
country, and some are of the opinion that if the
Arago should encounter a rough passage he will
not live to reach Europe. It is not known that
when he left he was in a condition of extreme
debilitation, and that his resignation was only
made under the pressure of the most urgent
physical necessity. Up to the time of Bull
Run he bore the fatigues of his duties well for
his age, but from that day the pressure on
mind and body was too great, and the noble
, wreck is now all that remains of the first ward
irior of the age.
Pennsylvania Daily delegrapl), Montray afternoon, November 25, 1861.
In 1836, as most people will remember, Rev.
Elijah P. Lovejoy, of Alton, Illinois, was bru
tally murdered by a pro-slavery mob for pub
lishing a paper in a free state, wherein he tem
perately discussed the institution of slavery, oc
cupying substantially the ground covered by
.the Chicago platform.
His murder took place on the 7th of Novem
ber, 1836. In November, 1860, we published
a communication from a gentleman of this city
who was with Lovejoy when he fell, pierced by
the bullets of the furious mob, and who received
his last words. In that letter he called atten
tion to the cheering coincidence, that on the
twenty-fourth anniversary of the murder of
Lovejoy, November, 7th, 186 Q, the nation rang
with cheers over the election of a President
from the same State of Illinois, chosen to carry
out the same views in defence of which the
martyr fell.
The same gentleman now reminds us that the
anniversary has been signally celebrated this
year by the glorious capture of the forts at Port
Royal and the the planting of the Union power
in the heart of the stronghold of treason.
Thus do events keep alive the memory of no
ble deeds, and bring in the just revenges of
history. • - -
When Lovejoy fell there was a deep and gen
eral indignation among the better sort of people
at the North ; but it soon died away, and the
waves of pro-slavery feeling rolled over his head
and apparently hid him and his doctrines for
ever.'
A quarter of a century reveals the Republic,
doubled in population and quadrupled in re
sources, engaged in the most gigantic struggle
of modern times, for the defence of the very
doctrines which he died to vindicate. His grave
is now a pilgrim shrine, while swift destruction
waits for his murderers and their confederates.
Verily, the right can afford to wait.—New York
_Evening Post.
De Bow's November Review hasau admirable
article, entitled the "Perils of Peace." The
obvious danger of an immense Yankee immi
gration, which will Abolitionize the border
States at the ballot-box, unless such restrictions
are placed upon the exercise of suffrage as will
prevent them from ever having a vote, are painted in
letters of light. We have often referred to this
danger as one which, if not provided against
in time, will render all Ihe blood and treasure
expended in this war entirely profitless. The
same writer also contends that while our present
foreign population, which has proved so gallant
and faithful in the southern cause, should re
tain the possession of every right which they
now have, the same privilege should not be
conferred upon future emigrants to this coun
try. He also expresses the opinion that no
European, and, we may add, northern citizen,
now residing in the south, unless it be one who
is still an alien will condemn a feeling which
does not deprive northerners or foreigners, now
visiting here, of any right which they possess,
but only, proposes to exclude hereafter those
who are now endeavoring to deprive every
southern man of his liberties.
Mr. John Jacob Astor, of this city, has joined
the staff of Major General McClellan, with the
commission of Lieutenant Colonel. Mr. Astor
is the representative of thirty millions or prop
erty, with an income of two millions per an
num. He has been from the beginning one of
the most active and efficient executive mem
bers of the Union Defence Committee of this
city, and has given his time knowledge and
money without stint for the cause of the coun
try and for the suppression , of the rebellion.
Those foreigners who doubt whether our best
men have much interest in the Union have a
very satisfactory reply in this action of Mr.
Astor. Such capitalists as he see very plainly,
ste. Mr __Shophord Knapp said so me time a g o,
that if the Union is worth xfothing, then noth
ing else within its bounds has any value.
Two other prominent members of the Union
defence Committee are also in the field—Gen
eral Dix, who was the first President of the
Committee, and Brigadier General James S.
Wadsworth, who was one of General McDow
ell's aids at• the battle of Stone Bridge, and was
mentioned in the despatches for his cool and
gallant conduct.—Evening Post.
The Santa Rosa Prisoners at Boston,
The Boston Traveler of yesterday says :
"Twenty-five rebel prisoners captured at San
ta Rosa Island, at the time of the attack on
Wilson's Zouaves, arrived in this city yesterday.
They were brought by a steamer from Fort
Pickens to New York, and thence by the Fall
River route to Boston. The prisoners, consist
ing of two lieutenants and twenty-three men,
were in charge of Lieutenant Broom, and Ser
geant Foster, and ten United States soldiers.
The rebel officers were very chary of speech; but
said they had been treated as well as prisoners
of war could expect. They were fine looking
young men, about twenty-five years of age,
both being in gray uniform, and neat and clean.
The privates were' a hard looking lot, their
clothes being dirty and ragged.
"Many of them were without shirtr, some
without any covering for the head, and all with
poor shoes. A few of theta had bundles. They
are generally in good health, but they are
small, feeble men and now look disconsolate
enough. The cold seemed to affect them badly,
and all of them were shivering. They were
taken to Fort Warren." .
NEW Oarsass Mossy Meassr.—The New Or

a new issue of fives and receives all halves at

a five desirous of making change can call for

cognizes every half. We have a new table of

FATAL RESULT OF PLAYING WITH FIRE ARMS.-
On Friday, as several young men were together
rehearsing Shakspeare in the back room of Col.
Hillman's store, corner of Market and River
streets, Wilkesbarre, Pa., Frank Smith pointed
a double-barreled gun at John H. Doak, the
mingle being but a few inches from him, when
the whole charge passed through his neck, tear
ing cords and arteries, causing death in a few
minutes. It was a terrible sight, the body
lying deluged in blood, which had been but a
short time before so handsome and so full of
life and high hopes, while his young companions
were almost in despair at the sad end of their
sport. The gun, it was said, had no cap on,
and Smith did not know that it was loaded.
At the request of. Smith's family an inquest was
held and a verdict of accidental death rendered.

BUItNINO OF WARSAW
TreroN, Mo., Nov. 24.—The burning of the
principal part of the town of Warsaw is con
firmed by a gentleman who arrived from that
vicinity this evening. The main business por
tion of the town, consisting of one large block
and several smaller ones, were in flames when
the gentleman. left. The town being scattered,
it is probably that nearly all the residences es
caped.
The quartermaster and commissary depart
ments were located in the first block, but the
greater portion of the Government stored had
been removed. The fire was supposed to be the
work of the Secessionist& The troops that
were there at the time were on the march to
Sedalia, and left the morning after the fire,
which occurred on Thursday.
LATER.
SEDALIA, Nov. 24.—The town was fired about
six o'clock P. M. on Thursday. All the busi
ness portion of the town is in ashes. The troops
which were stationed there left about eight
o'clock P. M., and are now here. A portion of
the commissary stores, for which we had no
transportation, were burned by order of the
commanding Officer. It is thought, blithe of
cer in command, that the town was fire by the
citizens, as a man in citizen's dress was seen
coming from the building in which the fire first
commenced.

From the First Penna. Artillery
Mr. G. W. Barr has very kindly permitted us
to use the following extract from a private let
ter written by his son Jacob M. Barr, a captain
in the First Pennsylvania Artillery regiment
(Campbell's) :
CAMP GRIFFIN, Va.,
Nov. 21, 1861.
It was seemingly but yesterday that I penned
a line home, yet it is two weeks past ; how
swiftly time passes. There is nothing new or
strange moving among the respective divisions
at tile present, excepting the grand review of
the 20th, of which you will have been informed
of ere this reaches you. I do wish you could
have been here to witness it. I think it was
the grandest sight I ever saw, and I believe I
have seen a great many grand pagents in my
time. Just imagine seventy thousand men
drawn up in line with over one hundred pieces
of artillery, and you may be able to form some
idea of the extent of our forces lying here, and
the end came not yet, for this vast body of men to
form was but the work of a moment, but to
pass in review was another and quite different
question. It could not be did ; the only way
that we could pass in review was to pass the
Commander-in-Chief by fileing off and repairing
to our different camps. I saw amongst the
many thousands present a goodly number with
whom I was acquainted with in Harrisburg,
and it done me good to see a civilian from that
part of the State. But the most pleasing feature
to me was the features of Old Uncle Abe, Secre
tary of War, and our youthful Commander-in-
Chief, Gen. George B. McClellan. If you could
have heard the shouts which greeted the trio as
they passed l.y, it would have convinced you in
a moment of the confidence which they have in
the ministration of our leaders. With such
commanders as Old Uncle Abe leading the van,
our noble Secretary of War directing, and our
General executing, who shall be able to stand
before us. 'Tis true we have met with sad re
verses, but that is now played out; the shoehas
been put on the other foot. Already they, the
rebels, have commenced to feel the effects of
the heel settling down, and woe, woe, be unto
them whenever they move; then., Father, Uncle
Sam proceeds to take up and secure the latches
of those shoes, every turn will form a loop,
every loop a noose, every noose a hangman's
knot, which will choke the wind, or rather
close the breathing pipes of such men as Davis,
Stephens, Bishop, Polk and Beauregard. Their
days as rulers and dictators are about numbered,
and I commence to think that they are aware
of it and would gladly accept the protection
usually granted by Uncle Sam.
I cannot tell for a certainty how soon the di
visions around us here may move ; there are so
many conflicting rumors afloat ; but the most
prevalent one is that we may be ordered do wn
to South Carolina. If so, I think it more than
probable we will be able to find some one in
our party or company who will be able to do
some execution with the big guns. On the
evening of the review about 9 o'clock we re
ceived information from Head Quarters that our
services might or would be wanted early in the
morning. Morning came, and certain enough
out moves the Infantry, and somebody else pulled
after them. We went out to what the enemy
had been encamped, and where the unfortunate
circumstance happened the other day with some
men of a New York regiment who went out
foraging and were all taken prisoners. We went
out there, looked all around us, but found nary
secesh. We loaded up one hundred and ten
wagons of hay, oats and corn, which the rebels
had collected together, and returned to camp
without having a smell of gun power. I think
from all I can learn we will be likely to have
some warm work soon, as they are determined
that we shall not have any more of their forage.
It is now nearly 3 o'clock, and I will close, as I
have to march on another scout in the morning
and will give you particulars when I return.
Respects to all.
