HARRISBURG, PA
Tuesday Afternoon, March 11, 1862.
THE REBEL ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.)
The rebels are scattering. Reliable infor
mation leads to the belief that they are falling
back, and their whole line in Virginia begins
to waver. The navigation of the river Potomac
is now uninterrupted to any serious extent, so
that after all the preparation of the rebels, their
construction of batteries, masked and unmask
ed, and their months of heavy labor, are all lost
and may possibly be used as influence against
the rebels themselves With the failure of the
rebel army on the Potomac, also fails the re
bellion, with all the magnificent schemes and
calculations of the rebel leaders. Their plan,
before the disastrous battle of Bull Bun t was the
eventual occupation 'of Washington city, and
the establishment of the rebel government in
that capital. Had a movement been made on
Washington city in April or May last, its cap
ture would have been immediate and certain.
But with all their boasting, the rebel leaders
lacked the courage to carry out their plans.—
They cannot plead a want of knowledge of the
defenceless condition of Washington, because
the city was then full of spies, constantly en
gaged in transmitting information to Beaure
gard, so that the advance on Bull Run by our
troops was known at Manassas long before the
rear column reached the rebel outposts. Then
Washington city was at the mercy of Jeff. Davie,
but his coward heart shrank from the
work of its capture and destruction. He
hoped the work would be accomplished
by the ruffianism of Baltimore and the traitors
of Maryland, but they failed to answer his an
ticipations from like causes which deterred him
from marching on Washington; and now, there
fore, the rebel army of the Potomac has proven
an entire failure. It has accomplished nothing,
and failed in all Its undertakings. The mere
blockade of the Potomac neither gave the
rebels advantage or strengthened their position.
It assisted to increase their burdens by aug
menting the expenses of their army. On the
other hand, the Federal troops on the Potomac
have achieved everything necessary for the
protection of the capitol by preventing the
rebels from accomplishing all they had so
sanguinely contemplated .for the destruction of
that capitol. The main body of the rebel army
is now almost completely enclosed by General
McClellan. Manassas is literally besieged, so
that the rebels are now put to their wits to
prepare for its abandonment instead of its de
fence. -This termination of the campaign on
the Potomac will terminate not only the
rebellion as a formidable organization, but
it will also remove the cause of the rebellion
as an influence any longer to be catered to or
feared by the loyal men of the land.
Since we wrote the foregoing, the telegraph
has announced the cheering and glorious news
that "Manassas is in the possession of the federal
troops!" Thia result was not achieved after a
hard fought battle ; not won by the loss of
thousands of gallant men, but taken possession
of by our troops, without firing a gun or point
ing a bayonette, the rebels having evacuated
their own works, to fly ingloriously at the first
approach of our troops. And we venture the
assertion here, that an examination will prove
in this instance, as it did at Bowling Green,
that the rebels were never io superior force, and
that they held their ground by a systematic
exaggeration of their numbers. Their inglori
ous flight fixes forever the ignominy of the
southern rebel character as cowardly and trea
sonable I We direct the attention of the reader
to the details of this news in another column.
CHARLES HIsNRT FISHER, an eminent busi.
flees man and &Lancer, died, near the city of
Philadelphia, yesterday morning, of accute
infiamation of the brain. He was originally a
broker, but having occasion to visit Europe
some years ago, he so favorably impressed the
leading London and Liverpool capitalists, that
they entrusted to him large sums of money for
investment in American railroads, navigation
companies, &c. By this means Mr. Fisher, in
course of time, was enabled.to control many of
our first Pennsylvania corporations, and laid up
for himself a large fortune, amounting, proba
bly, to a million and a half of dollars. The
deceased was forty-nine years old.
Ms SUNDAY TRANSCRIPT, of the9th inst., con
tains a very singular and a very serious number
of charges,in the shape of a letter written from
this city, as to the malfeasance, dereliction and
other unbecoming conduct of the chief clerk in
a certain department of the state government.
The official thus indicated, owes it to himself
and to public opinion, at once to vindicate the
position he occupies, or the matter may be
made the subject for an investigation by a le
gislative committee. Charges of such a grave
character, as are those to which we now allude,
cannot be passed over in silence.
Two Paean CROP.—From present indications,
says the Delawarean, the largest peach crop ever
gathered in Delaware will reward the labors
of the husbandmen this year. So far every.
thing:has been favorable, not a bud his. been
blasted or a tree killed by the frost.
VACANCIES IN THE VOLUNTEER ARMY
We have received, within the last few days,
two very able communications on the subjeet
of theTpower to fill vacancies in the volunteer
ranks of the army, but..as they are not in a
shape as to length and temper for publication,
we must decline their insertion in the columns
of the TZLEGRAPH. So far as the arguments of
these communications go, we fully coincide
with the writers ; but from their abuse of
prominent men, charged with " plotting to
deprive the volunteer of all the franchises and
privileges - he possessed before entering the
army," we must be permitted respectfully to
dissent. On the subject of the vacancies that
will occur in the army, by the• casualties of
battle, the ravages of disease, and ieeignations
Induced by private causes, we are of this clear
opinion, that they should be filled by the choice
and preference of the men whose lives and ac
tions are to be given up to the disposal of such
commands. To make these vacancies subser
vient on the will of one man, is to bring the
army, under the control of a dictatorship which
will eventually annul merit, cultivate distinc
tions, and become corrupt by force of the power
with which it is invested. If it is established,
the state breaks its faith with the volunteer, in
a Contract as solemn as any that was ever en
tered into, because the volunteer enlisted in the
service with the expressed and implied under
st,nding that he was to be left to the choice of
his own officers. Had not this been under
stood, thousands of men who are now in the
volunteer would be in the regular service, in
which even vacancies are not filled by appoint
talent, but are left to the gradation of seniority,
and in extreme cases in the regular service,
controlled by the brevette of merit.
There was another inducement held out to
the thousands of gallant men who enlisted iu
the volunteer ranks, to the effect, that in any
case of a vacancy, promotion should be made
from the ranks. It is useless to declare that
if the power to fill these vacancies is taken
from the men, and changed from that of a
franchise to a prerogative, the men in the
' ranks from which promotion should be made,
will be blessed with little recognition, and,
however gallant the service they may render,
the machinery of politics and the exclusive
manner in which political patronage is confer
red, will soon mark their distinctions in the
army, and soon, for opinion's sake, those who
really have merit, will be refused recognition,
while those utterly deficient, will be elevated
and patronized. And when such a condition
of affairs arrive, our victories wilt be less effec
tive and brilliant, because, however much you
may appeal to the patriotism of men, and seek
to impress them with the noble idea of devotion
to the general cause, when you become guilty
of acts of personal injustice towards them, and
betray the sacred trust which they reposed in
the state, the cause in which they fight soon
becomes Identified with this distrust and in
justice, and soon partakes of their disgrace
and repugnance. Therefore, we trust that the
state will not break its faith with the volun
teers. They are entitled to the privilege of se
lecting those who are to lead them into battle.
They enlisted with this privilege understood
and expressed, and went forth, not with the
notion that any vacancy which might occur
from causes we have enumerated, would be
filled by those who were objectionable and in
competent, and who were forced on them to
satisfy some political trickery of those who
seek to make every position in the army a
source of profit and propping to their schemes
and their ambition—they went forth, not with
these notions, but with the assurance that all
wander were to be filled as the officers were originally
chosen BY THE VOlOll or THE MEN WHOM SUCH Or-
PIOUS WERE TO COMMAND.
We deem this much due to this subject, and
the writers of the communications alluded to,
and we deem it also due to the volunteer who
is distant fighting the battles of his country,
thus to defend his rights, and thus most sol- ,
amity toprotest against any legislation which
seeks to curtail the franchises of an American
citizen, whether he is untramelled by the regu
lations of military discipline, or whether he is in
camp, subject to all its rigors and obedient to
all its force. His judgment is still the same,
his sense of justice equally as strong, and his
manhood quite as predominant as that of those
who seek to make the volunteer entirely de
pendant on the will and control of legislative
and executive political influence.
"DORMANT UNION SENTIMENT."
We have not the least doubt—indeed the
evidence is abundant of the fact—that with
the advance of our troops, there is manifested
a little attachment to the Union, hitherto re
pressed, but finding voice and utterance when
our flag is displayed and backed by a military
force. Much of it is unquestionably sincere,
but the value of a Union feeling thus aroused
is questionable. It is to be accepted for what
it is worth, but we may well doubt whether, in
most cases, it constitutes any firm reliance for
the maintenance of the federal authority in the
future. The Unionism which has tamely ac
quiesced in the usurpation of the conspirators—
which has remained "dormant" while the
gigantic rebellion has been in the height of its
power and audacity—which has contrived to
remain unmolested by rebel scouts; everywhere
searching for the persons and property of Union
men, may, in the judgment of charity be
honest, but at best must be counted cowardly.
Since the world stood, time servers have been
common ; and we hardly give to the words of
inch men as Cave Johnson the same trust that
we give the deeds of the heroic Andrew John
son, also of Tennessee. Lip loyalty in the hour
of our country's peril, must be taken for what
it is worth. If, as we are told„ and as is pro
bable true, a majority of the people of Tennes
see were truly in favor of the Union, the more
detestable that passive, half-hearted loyalty on
their part which permitted the conspirators
to sweep the state by an apparent majority of
fifty, sizry or seventy thousand for treason and
revolt. That /Med, dormant loyalty is of as lit
tle account as the allegiance of the "Vicar of
Bray."
We would thankfully accept assurances of
loyalty when proffered, in Tennessee or else
where ; would give credit for sincerity unless
the contrary was proved or palpable—would
ettnevluanta Daily tetegraplb eueobap Afternoon, Mara) 11, 1862
even treat the penitence of rebel prisoners as
unaffected and honest, when it was evinced in
"words meet for repentence." But common
sense revolts at the idea of hailing as good and
trust-worthy citizen's men whose adherence to
the government was never suspected or whisp
ered until our arms were triumphant, and who,
it may be reasonably believed, were no less
complaisant to the rebel cause while that seem
ed to be prosperous.
In the time of disorder, convulsion and in
surrection, that species of loyalty which is
"dormant" is, if less positively dangerous, no
more serviceable than outright revolt.

The gunboat White Hall took fire at 2 o'clock
this morning, and was totally destroyed.—
Three of her guns, which were all allotted,
went off at intervals, and one shed burst in
the air, sending several fragments in various
directions, doing no damage.
The other gun was saved by the harbor
crew.
The Minnesota was not afloat when so re
ported in my letter of Sunday. Her crew bay
ing been sent on shore, her guns were spiked
preparatory to her destruction, when, by the
exertions of Capt. Howe, of the Spaulding, she
was finally got off during the night, and resu
med her usual position at the eutrance of the
roads.
The Monitor came down early this morning,
and was most enthusiastically cheered as she
passed the various visseis in the harbor. A
number of gentlemen wtnt on beard during
the day
She does not appear to have suffered at all,
and is as ready as ever for another engagem-nt.

Capt. Wm. Smith who, until recently trans
furred, commanded the Congress, was unhurt.
The most recent estimate of the number kill
ed is fifty, twenty-seven were sent ashore
wounded and forty were taken prisoners, not
including any officers. So far as known Mas
ter's mate Peter Hergons is missing and may
be among the prisoners. On board the Cum

wounded. But few of the wounded on board
escaped to the shore, and the remainder were
drowned. The whole loss is probably not over
one hundred and fifty.
On the White Hall, Andrew Nesbit, third
