A PROPHET.
The Patriot and Union has become a prophet.
It prophecies that the war will never crush out
the rebellion "on its [the administration's) plans
as long as grass grows or water runs." Of course
the Patriot has other plans and other information
than that posses•ed by the President, and there
fore it presumes to prophecy with certainty. Its
Mende in the South would be ungrateful in
deed, if they did not keep their organ advised
of their plans, and as On Patriot now so confi
dently predicts the failure of the administra
tion, we have one of two inferences to make.
It is either a fact that the Breckenridgers in
the North, With the Woods, the Hughes, In
gersolls and other prime traitors, are about to
make an cpen dr monstration for treason, or
the armies of the South have been so reinforc
ed that they are deemed capable of "cruehidg
out" the government. Our word for It the
Patriot never indulces•in prophecy from insoira
tion. Its prophecies in relation to the success
of the , ehellion are always based on its infor
mation flout its rebel frieude. But in this in
stance, it , i, counting without its hostel.
THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG
When ver we may do for or egaiust the fede
ral government, in this great crisis, there is a
right, and a wrong involved in the struggle be
tween legitimate authority and rebellious pow
er, which must sooner or later be decided.
.Those who have been defending the right, will
some day be blessed with victory. Right never
fails—its success may be postponed—its pro
gress may for a time be impeded, but in the
end it is bound to be triumphant and progres
sive. Thus, too, with wrong. Those who up
hold the wrong will some day be astonished
with their reward. Wrong may temporarily
triumph—it may succeed in localities, and it
may even boast a general victory—but in the
end, when the contest becomes fair and open
and square between truth and error, as God is
jest, au truth will triumph. This will be the
result of the struggle in which we are
now involved. Those who are opposing
the government—those who have achieved
temporary success by means of party organiza
tions which have stood aloof from a just share
of the dangers and brunt' of battle—who have
conspired against and robbed the soldier of his
franchise—who perpetrated fraud and made
falsehood the representative of the principles of
their opponents and the expounder of their own
—those guilty of these acts, will yet be forced to
the full assumption of their dirty plots and
counter plots against the government. The
right and the wrong are bound to come in con
flict, not only on the i attle field where loyal
men are bravely contending with rebel traitors.
The loyal men at home will some day be forced
to an open conflict with the rebel sympathisers
who daily and hourly defy justice and ridicule
the power of the government in the walks of
private and social life. The right and the wrong
of this conflict must be tested. As a soldier
truthfully remarked to us, "the army cannot
do all the fighting. It is capable of dealing with
the foe in its front—but the cowardly miscre
ants who are In its rear—the black hearted vil
lains who stay at home to embarrass and thwart
the government, and give aid to the traitors,
these must be throttled, put down, extermina
ted, if needs be, as we exterminate venomous
reptiles, before the peaceful and harmonious
operations of the law and power of the govern
ment can be established."
There is truth in what our soldier friend
declared—and he nor we are not the only men
who believe that the right and the wrong of
this bitter struggle must come in open conflict
in other localities than where our armies are
now so gallantly contending with traitors.
Koortoss, TNT TO BE HELD.—The states
which have yet to elect their Representatives
to the next Congress, and the dates at which
they usually hold their elections, are as fol
lows : New Hampshire, on the second Tues
day in March, 1863 ; Rhode Island, first Wed
nesday in April, 1863 ; Conneticut, first Monday
in April, 1863 ; Maryland, first Wednesday in
November, 1868; Kentucky, first Monday in
August, 1868 ; California, first Thursday in
September, 1868 ; Virginia, fourth Thursday in

TUB PATRIOT AND UNION becomes nauseous at
the election of the veteran lover of freedom
and bold hater of slave•holders, modern Demo
crats and traitors, Owen Lovejoy. It would
like to defeat him, but the effort is futile. Love
joy ie elected, and will continue to denounce
and battle all dough-faces such as the Patriot
people, and uphold to the scorn of the world
all traitors such as compose the main strength of
the Democratic party in the Union, the rebel
trailers of the south.
GastartaL Boansma.—A correspondent of the
Natiw►al Inklngmar states that General Burnside
was born at Liberty, Indiana, of Scottish
parents, his father being somewhat of the
Davie Deans school, but wanting its moroseness
and sectarian bitterness. He inherits much of
the deep-rooted religious conviction, caution
and determination so eminently peculiar to the
"sons of Scotia "
Tits sr arsterav that Gen. Burnside is only
• temporarily in command of the army of the
Potomac ? , and that he succeeds to that com
mand by virtue of his rank, is unfounded. He
was maligned to his present high position by the
express orders of the President of the United
Stales.
MR. BOLT AND THE PROCLAMATION.
A letter from Hon. Joseph Holt, written on
the 25th of October, but only just published,
takes the true groundaithatito interest, or in
aMtittior4 must.be perinitted to stand in the
way of.the paramount duty of restoring the
Union ; that those who are in arms against the
Gonstitutioa can claim no rights under it, and
that if the rebellious states do not submit be
fore the Ist of January, they will have volun
tarily brought upon themselvee the abolition
of slavery. These are sound views, and they
mark the auspicious progress of right opinions
among Southern men, who are really and un
conditionally for the Union. Asa Kentuckian,
Mr. Holt naturally desired 'to save' the Union
without injury to slavery, and he has not
yielded the hope of doing so, until events have
demonstrated that it cannot be realised. .one
year ago he resisted the proclamation 'uf Gen.
Fremont, offering liberty to the slaves of re
bels. Today he sustains the proclamation of
the President, declaring all slaves to be free, in
such states as shall remain insurrectionary
after the let of January. The change which
the progress of time has wrought in his mind,
f ie rien g d oi s n o g f o t n he a) ll llst nio a n n in tly th a e m b o o n le
genuine
friends
has just manifested itself most signally in the
election in Missouri. A few more courageous
utterances, like this of Mr. Holt, will finish the
good work.
COLINBL LUDLOW, an able and intelligent
officer on the staff of General Dix, has just com
pleted arrangements with the rebel commis
sioners for a mutual exchange of all prisoners
of war. The result, as given in a report from,
Fortress Monti e, is more favorable to us than
was generally expected. The boasts of the
rebels, of the immense number of prisoners they
have taken from us, prove to have as little
foundation as many of their other assertions ;
and the amount now stands In, our favor by
about six thousand privates and six hundred
and snventycrfficers. Thus, though at Harper's
Fdrry and on some other OCCIUdons we have lost
more than the enemy, and thus given him oc
casion for his boasts, it appears that on the
whole, and taking the West with the East, the
advantage is largely with us. What is thus
true of prisoners is true equally of the general
results of the war. The rebels may have gained
some slight advantages in the East ; but their
blows have been returned with heavy interest
in the West ; and our losses on the Peninsula
have been made up by the successes of the
armies under Bosecrans, Grant, Schofield,
Curtis, Mitchell, Morgan and ethers. The ave
rage of success, like the surplus of prisoners
held, is on our side ; and now that an energetiq
and hitherto always successful captain is at the
head of our greatest army, we may hope to see
the Nest retrieve for itself what it bag lost, and
rival the West in the celerity and 'aide of its
operations.
Twa Enscr or ma ELSOTION.—The Washing
ton correspondent of the New l ork /Awning
Post says that the white natives of all that re
gion are very severe and non-committal. "Why
do you come to murder us ?" asked a Virginia
matron of a Massachusetts Yankee ; "the else
flows have gone against you." The Massachu
setts man was anxious to learn what the elec
tion@ had to do with the war. The lady was
quick with the reply : "The Democrats are for
peace—they will stop your wicked war upon us
as soon as they hare the power. As you have
found out that the Democrats are in the ma
jority, why do you not stop fighting ?" This
shows how quickly the rebels have extracted
comfort from the success of the northern Demo
crate. The Yankee replied to the lady as he
was leaving : "I am sorry to disappoint you,
but if you are making any calculations of peace
because of the election victories of the Demo
crats, you are building your house upon a sandy
foundation. the Democrats have hot got con
trol of the government yet, and if they had
they would not dare to stop the war. The
northern people have been misled and deCeived,
for they believe in the war."
How rr as Eiriourru.-7-In the north, the
rebel sympathisers denounce the President's
emancipation proclamation, as being utterly
impracticable. In the south, the fighting re
bels receive it as the greatest calamity that
could befall the cause of treason, the moment
the federal armies get a footing in the cotton
states, to put the emancipation policy into prac
tical operation. This is the only point on
which the sympathisers in the loyal states differ
with their friends and allies in the south. The
Richmond &canker of Oct. 6th, referring to
the subject, says: . •
"These calamities threatened in the capture
of our ports are grave enough. One graver,
however, and more terrible than all these, is to
come if the enemy c►n get bold in the cotton
states, for putting into operation there his
emancipation scheme."
Tan Lannon Correspondent of the Patriot,
(who is doubtless one of the bipeds who now
cluster daily in the sanctum of that concern)
should take a doom of Husband's Magnesia, and
then attempt another suggestion for the glory
of little Mao. - Would it not be wise to ask
whether M'Clellan is at preeentacitizen of Penn
sylvania, beforehe is invested with senatoial
honor. When he asked to be retired to Tren

his home, his place of residence. But the
sage who lives in Lebanon and writes for • the
Patriot wanted a card to play. Would it not be
well for the Patriot to consult the splin' Why
not ask for a rap or two on the subject from the
spirit world?

FROM WASHINGTON.
A number of squatters have recently made
application to the general land office, to be al
lowed pre-emptien rights of settlement on Rock
Island in the Mississippi river.
The Secretary of the Interior referred to the
Attorney_ General, the question whether the
Island was a part of the public lands subject
to the pre-emption law.
The Attorney General has responded in an
elaborate opinion, in which he holds that Rock.
Wand, having been reserved out of the public
lands by the Executive for military purposes,
under the authority of the act of 1809, is nut
subject to pre-emption or sale under the gene
rat land law of the United States, and that the
alleged relinquishment of the reservation by
the War Department, in 1848, was without
authority of law, and therefore did not operate
to restore the island to the mass of public lands,
The power to relinquish a military reservation,
belonging not to the Executive but to Congress,
besiet-s its importance in asserting the lights of
the Government to an island so valuable for
military purposes. This opinion contains an
interesting discussion of the limitations of Exe
cutive power. It will soon be published entire.

Reported Movements of Stonewall

The correspondence of the Anctican, dated
Harper's Ferry to-day, says:
"Several parties have reached here from Mar
tinsburg, from whom we have apparently reli
able information of the condition of affairs in
the Army of the Potomac up to Cherry Run,
where General Kelly is stationed. The rebels
have entirely abandoned the line of the Poto
mac. None of their troops have been seenlor
nearly a week. Our cavalry are actively scout
ing.in the vicinity of Martinsburg or passing
through it.
" It was reported there that Jackson had re
turned to Winchester with a considerable force,
and was to move from that point westward.,
"The' better opinion appears to be,. that if
Jackson fs the valley at all, it is for the Pur
pose of moving towards Staunton, as General
Cot's march toward that point, with a Federal
force, is exciting, apprehension among 'the
rebels. Last week General Cox was known to
be in Highland county, within forty miles of
Staunton."

SERMON ON EDUCATION.
7b the Reverend Ckrgy of the Stale
Gaterr.axas : The Educational State Conven

August, unanimously adopted a resclution,
" That ministers of the Gospel throughout the
State be requested topreach, on the first Sunday
in December, 1862, a sermon on popular edu
cation."
As the Convention adopted no means to make
its wishes on the subject known to you, other
than the publication of the minutes of its pro
ceeding-, I have taken the liberty, in this
manner, to invite your attention to it.
At all times the due training of the young is
of great importance, and the relation to it of
the Christian ministry , is-plain and intimate.
In the prnsent unhappy juncture of our national
affairs -regarding the future through the uncer
tain light of the present—this importance is
vastly increased, and the relation of your body
to it seems to become in the same proportion
nearer.
The wishes of the Convention are therefore
cordially commended to your favorable consid•
oration, with the hope that you will simulta
neously add your prayers to the Father of Light
that He will at this time .especially bless the
cause of general education, and so guide the
efforts of all entrusted with its care, 'that the
youth of the land may become Christian citi-

of science and experiment ; the science point

preparation, has been tested by persons of most
undoubted reliability in this city, and is by them
