HARRISBURG, PA
Tuesday Afternoon, November 25, 1862.
EX-P4ESIDENT
. 13UCRANAN 2 1 0 GENE•
RAL SCOTT
After the crushing rejoinder of Gen. Scott,
to the sophistries and lame apologies which
Mr. Buchanan had penned to palm on the
American public as an excuse for his dereliction
of duty, while President, and his questionable
loyalty during all the time that his Cabi
net were preparing to destroy the govern
ment—after all this, sensible men fondly imag
ined that Mr. Buchanan would take advantage
of the privacy of Wiestiand, and forever
bury himself in silence amid its bachelor
gloom and freezing formalities. But in
this the public have been disappointed.
The itching anxiety of the Ex.-President to es
cape the odium which is surrounding to crush
him, causes him to resort to the basest strata
gem to escape, if possible, ihe awful doom of re
proach and disgrace which awaits him. He
appears to day in another letter addressed to
Gen. Scott, and in this epistle be again at
tempts to make the most insignificant circum
stances the evidence of his innocence and
patriotism. We can only ask the reader to
peruse this letter, to ensure for Mr. Buchanan
the .iitigust mod contempt which he has earned
by this last effort at sophistry. Every step he
takes in his own defence only develops and
augments his guilt, so that the man who suc
ceeds in wresting the pen from the fingers of
the disgraced Ex-President, will prove James
Buchanan's best friend. Lot the reader peruse
the letter referred to, and then endorse our re
ference es a matter of conviction and neces
sity.
ZEE NEW PEASE OF TREASON.
Every one sill remember, says the Daily
Morning Chronicle, that President Buchanan's
denial of power in the Federal Government to
coerce tra.tors was the chief means by which
the rebellion acquired its formidale proportions.
That denial was put torth under cover of a
long fitting of sophisms in his last annual mes
s ige, and was supported by an "opinion" from
Judge Black, his attorney general. This sur
render of executive power, whether arising
from personal timidity, mental weakness, or
political disloyalty, was the first great stroke
against the life of this nation.
Thu same treasonable designs are now at
work against the Government, under pretence
of what is called individual rights, or rights of
citizens. The plain meaning of the phrase is
that individual citizens have a right to carry
not r,asonable designs against the Government,
within the heart of loyal States, without danger
of the iuterference of the G. , verument ; that
the eiders or abettors of treason are subject
only to judicial tribunals, so that if the civil
law is silent as to the treasonable practice, or
the judge happens to sympathize with it,
the treason may be practised openly .and
with absolute safety. It requires only a mo
ment's consideration to perceive that this
is only a new phase of the treason which
has been striving to overthrow the Federal
government. In the rebel states this treason
is organized into armies commanded by gen
erals, whose banners are unfurled to the world,
and who boldly proclaim their purpose to over
throw the government. But the phase of trea
son in the loyal states, as in the first stages it
was in the southern states, is at present con
cealed under a false face. In the south it pro
fessed only to set up the rights of states, and
their immunity to practice treason against the
federal government. It now sets up the rights
of individual citizens in the loyal states, and
their immunity to practice against the govern
ment. Stripped of all disguise, the treason is
the same in either phase, the change of disguise
being required by the different sphere of action
where it is carried on.
As loyal citizens in the southern states were
deluded into sympathy with rebellion, and are
uneorwciousl y made its hiders and comforters by
the cry of state rights, so the enemies of the
government are now striving to delude loyal
and patriotic citizens of the north into giving
aid and protection to domestic traitors by the
cry of individual rights.
The Cli , nstitution was perverted and used for
the shield of southern traitors, and northern
traitors are now setting up the habeas corpus as a
rampart behind which they may safely carry on
the assault against the national existence.
Hos. JOHN W. Wamtcs announces his in
tention of contesting the seat of Eton. Jesse
Lasear, in the 38th Congress. The grounds,
as set forth in Mr. Wallace's notice to Mr. La
seer, are: That votes were cast in Dunkard and
other townships, in Greene county, for Mr. La
zear by aliens ; in Wayne and other townships,
by persons under twenty-one; in Richhill and
other townships, by citiz ns in Virginia; in
Marion and other townships, by persons not
white male citizens of the United States ; that
the elections in Franklin and other townships
in Greene county were held at different places
from those required by law, and were conse
quently illegal ; That the return judges of the
counties composing the 24th district refused to
count the soldiers' vote, which gave Mr. Wal
lace about three hundred and seventy majority
—upon which the Supreme Court had decided
that its jurisdiction in passing upon the legality
of the vote, embraced only county offices—and
that the rejection was therefore illegal. Mr.
Wallace further chime a majority of all the
votes legally cast in the district ; notifies Mr.
Lasear that he will demand an examination of
the Bats of voters and ballots in each township,
and reserves the right to enlarge or modify his
notice at any time hereafter.
WHAT IT COSTS It) ENCOURAGE REBEL-
LION.
The sympathizers with treason in St. Louis
are beginning to find that they have been
enjoying a very costly luxury. It will be re
membered that Gen. Halleck, last winter, im
posed 'upon them a liberal assessment, (which
was paid by many under protest, while others
permitted their furniture and other property
to be sold to make np the amount,) for the
support of Union refugees who had been com
pelled by , the rebel bushwhackers and guerrillas
to abandon their homes in distant parts of the
state. The St. Louis papers" intimate that no
tices will soon be served upon these sympa
thizers to come down with a new assessment,
varying from twenty-five to a thousand dollars
—and amounting in the aggregate to half a
million. The sum thus raised is to be applied
to the support of the destitute families of Union
soldiers. Verily, "the way of the transgressor
is bard." The rebels under Butler's teaching
at New Orleans, and under the operation of
Gen. Halleck's excellent order at St. Louis, are
beginning to realize that "honesty Is the beet
policy," at last. Let them make good use of
the knowledge so dearly acquired. What a
pity that rebel sympathizers elsewhere, who do
nothing but grumble at the government, had
not the opportunity of learning in the same
s4hool.
TES riTiIiBURQ DAM DISPATCH beComed rather
facetious while discussing the. remarkable fea
tures in connection with American warfare, as
displayed during the present rebellion, in the
extreme deliberation of all grand army move
ments. Occasionally a brigade or division makes
a rapid march, especially when the head of the
column is northward, but in corps or grand
divisions, the average speed would not put to
shame a tortoise. It would seem invidious,
since the removal of M'Clellan, to point to any
one of his subordinates as particularly happy in
keeping within sight of his base as long as
possible, when all have shown such distinguish
ed merit. The 4 Army of the Potomac com
menced its preparations for an advance on
Richmond in August, 1861; in June, 1862, the
advanced posts caught distant glimpses of the
rebel capital from tree tops and other elevated
positions. In three hundred days the grand
army accomplished a march which, in a direct
line, is not over one hundred miles. After each
victory in the - west—in Missouri, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Mississippi, our armies halted
just long enough to permit the enemy to re
organise his scattered troops. At Pittsburg
Landing the disaster of the first day's fight is said
to have been nobly retrieved on the second by the
total route of the enemy, and yet the advance
to Corinth was made so deliberately, that siege
approaches were required to drive the rebels
from it. The delay in following up the capture
of Fort Donelson lost to our troops all the ad
vantages of the final capture of Nashville.
Buell's frantic race with Bragg to reach.Louis
fine, Was-followed by a pursuit so disgracefully
stow that the rebel army was enabled to carry
off unmolested its huge train of spoils. The
battles of South Mountain and Antietam fol
lowed a march never equalled, we believe, for
slowness, in an unopposed army, and the inde
cisive actions were followed by weeks of linger
ing which permitted the half famished and half
naked rebel host to & make good its retreat to
Richmond, despite the flank movements which
were to destroy its line of communication.
Burnside assumed command of the army with a
full knowledge of the double responsibility
resting on him, and, with an alacrity most
commendable, changed the line of advance from
Gordonsville to Fredericksburg, and marched
upon the latter point. Guarded as it was by a
comparative handful of the rebel troope—the
main army having been left far to the west by
the change of the line of advance—it was to
have been expected that the advance guard of
the Union army would have crossed the Rappa
hannock and driven off its feeble garrison. .
The result has proved somewhat different
from the general anticipation. The cowman
ier of the Right Wing, on reaching the Rap
pahannock "tossed a few balls," into a rebel
battery on the, opposite bank which threatened
to annoy him ; drove the gunners from the
battery and then—sent a summons for the sur
render of the town, giving the enemy twenty
two hours to remove the women and children
—affording him au opportunity of carrying
away all munitions of war and other valuables
—and to gather the outmarched legions of
Lee's army. From what we have already
noted of rebel movements in this war, we are
led to believe that Lee or Jackson would
have sent his flag of truce demanding a surren
der at the head of a force sufficient to secure
compliance with the demand. By this means the
rebel army has been able to acquire much valua
ble booty, army stores and munitions of war
which even oni slowest minded generals would
have partially removed if allowed two days
for the purpose. The nice distinctions of the
rebel lexicon which makes "contraband of
war' out of all articles of private property
that can be made of any service to the captor,
has made this rapid style of advance both pop
ular and profitable to the enemy. Rich stores
of boots and clothing, and not nnfrequently of
gold, silver and green backs, await the
lucky rebel commissary and quartermaster's
staffs.
It has been urged with great effect that our'
army has already been' overmatched, and that
greater rapidity of motion is not attainable.
The utter falsity of this assertion is shown by
the movements of the enemy. The ermine of
Lee, Bragg and JaCkson have never failed, ill
equipped as they have undoubtedly been—to
secure any desired advantage from rapid ma
nceuvering. It hasneither been the rapidity or
the length of the marches, of which our troops
have grown so 'weary, but the utter aimless.
nen and fruitlessness of their fatiguing cam
paign. The army of the Potomac and Vir
ginia have followed or retreated before Lee
and Jackson for eighteen mouths, fought only
when the enemy chose to fight, and from
victory reaped not a single solid advantage.
Is it any wonder that,the veterans of the army
complain of such marching t .. •
M'Cleilan's delay rind *naked lrfootastinit

advance on Fredericksburg gave promise of a
better policy, which absurd diplomatic ex
changes have already clouded. "Masterly In

lions—the people will tolerate it no longer

FROM WASHINGTON.
ft-President Buchanan's Reply to Lt.
General Scott.
The National Intetlipencer of this morning con
tains the following letter from Ex-President
Buchanan in reply to Gen. Scott :
"With a few remarks I shall close the con.
troversy with Gen. Scott, into which I have
been most reluctantly forced by his voluntary
and unexpected attack. This has, nevertheless,
afforded me an opportunity of correcting many
unfounded reports which I had long borne in
patience and in silence. In my answer, I have
already furnished clear and distinct responses
to all the allegations of Gen. Scott ; and in his
rejoinder he has not called in question any of
my statements, with a singleexception. Which
of us is correct in this patticular depends upon
the question whether his recollection of an
event which occurred more than eighteen
months ago, or the statement of Mr. Holt, re
duced to writing on the very day, is entitled to
the greater credit.
" The General, in, the introduction of his re
joinder, assigns as an excuse for the criticism on
my public conduct that this was merely inciden
tal to his alleged official report to President
Lincoln on the condition of our fortifications,
and was not primarily intended for myself.
From this statement one would conclude that
he had made such a report. Bat where is this
to be found ? For it he refers to the Intelligen
cer or the 21st October ; but there I discover
nothing but his letter of tour points to Mr.
Seward, dated on the 3d March, 1861, advising
the incoming President how to guide his admin
istration in face of the threatening dangers to
the country. In the single introductory sen
tence to this letter he barely refers to his
"printed views," (dated in Octobrr, 1860,)
which had been long before the public ; but it
contains nothing like an official report on the
condition of the fortifications.
"Whether the introduction of this letter to
the public, without the consent of President
Lincoln, by one of the General's friends, in a
political speech during a highly exciting guber
natorial canvass, had influenced him to pre
pare his criticism on my conduct, it is not for
MO to determine.
"At what period did Gen. Scott obtain the
six hundred recruits to which he refers in his
rejoinder? This was certainly after the date
of his 'views,' on the 80th October, 1860 ; be
cause in these he states emphatically that the
forces then et his command were 'in all five
companies only within reach to garrison or
reinforce the [nine] forts mentioned in the
'views.'
"Did he obtain these recruits in November
If so, had he visited Washington or written
and explained to me in what manner this
military operation coulkl he accomplished by
the four hundred men in the five companies
and the six hundred recruits, I should have
given his representations all the consideration
eminently due to his high military reputation.
"But be informs us be did not arrive in
Washington until the 12th of December. His
second recommendation to garrison these forts
must consequently have been made, according
to hie own statement, on the 13th, 15th, 28th,
or 30th of December, or on more than one of
these days. At this period the a-pect of public
affairs had greatly changed from what it was
in October. Congress was now in session, and
oar relations with the Seceding Cotton States
had been placed before them' by the President's
message. Proceedings had been instituted by
that body with a view to a compromise of the
dangerous questions between the North and the
South ; and the highest hopes and warms t
aspirations were then entertained for their suc
cess. Under these circumstances it was the
President's duty to take a broad view of the
condition of the whole country, in all its rela
tions, civil, industrial, and commercial, as well
as military, giving to each its appropriate in
fluence. It was only from such a combination
that he could frame a policy calculated to pre
serve the peace and to consolidate the strength
of the Union. Isolated recommendations pro
ceeding from one department, without weigh
ing well their effect upon the general policy,
ought to be adopted with extremecantion.
"But it seems from the rejoinder that Secre
tary Floyd, at Richmond, had claimed the
honor.of defeating General Scott's plans and
solicitations respecting the forte,' it being
there,' says the General, ' universally admit
ted that but for that victory over me there
could have been no rebellion.' This is, in
plain Englith, that the secessionists of the Cot
tAt States, who have since brought into the field
hundreds of tin wands of undoubtedly brave
soldiers, would have abandoned in terror their
unlawful and rebellious designs, had Geo. Scott
distributed among their numerous forte four
hundred and eh hty men in October or one
thousand men in December ! This requires no
comment. I have never been able to obtain a
copy of the speech of Mr. Floyd at Richmond,
to which I presume Gen. Scott refers ; bat I
learned, both at the time and since, from
gentlemen of high respectability, that in this
same speech ha denounced me most bitterly for
my determination to stand by and sustain the
Union with all the power I possessed under the
Constitution and the laws.
"And here permit me to remark that it is due
to, Gen. Scott as well as myself to deny that
there is any portion of my answer which] noti
fies the allegation that ' the ex-President
sneers at my 'weak device (the words 'weak de
vice' being marked as a quotation) for saving
the forte.' This mistake I must attribute to
his 'accidental visitor.'
"And in this connection I emphatically de
clare that the General, neither before nor after
the publication of his "views" in the National
intelligencer of the 18th January, 1861, without
my consent, assigned any reason to me for
making this publication, or ever even alluded to
the subject. In this I cannot be mistaken,
from the deep impression which the occurrence
made upon my memory, for the reasons al•.
ready mentioned in my answer.
"I should have nothing more to add had Gen
Scott, in his rejoinder, confined himself to the
topics embraced in his origliod letter. He has
extended them, and now for the first time, and
in a sarcastic and no kindly spirit, refers to the
alleged stealing of public. arms by Secretary
Floyd and their transportation to the South,
in anticipation of the rebellion. The most
conclusive answer to this allegation is that,
notwithstanding the boasting of Mr. Floyd at
Richmond, evidently with the view of concilia
ting his new allies, cited by the General ai his
authority, no - public arms were ever . stolen.
This fact is established by the r, port of the
Committee on Military Affairs of the House of
Representatives, .130 W Wore. me, made by Mr.
Stanton, of Ohio, their chairman, on the 18th
February; 1861, and to be found in the second
volume of the Reports of Committees of the
House for the session of 1860-1. This report
-.0.---.
WASHINOTON, Nov. 26
and the testimony before the committee estab
lish :
1. That the Southern States received in
1860 less instead of inure than the quota of
arms to which they were entitled by law ; and
that three of them—North Carolina,Miesissippi,
and Kentucky—received no arms whatever,
and this simply because they did not ask for
them. Well may •Itir. Stanton have said-in
the House that there are a good deal of ru
mors and speculations and misapprehensions as
to the true state of facts in regard to this mat
ter.'
" 2. Secretary Floyd, under suspicious cir
cumstances, On the 22d December,lB6o, and
but a few days before he left the I:.3partment,
had, without the knowledge of the President,
ordered one hundred and thirteen (113) colum
biads and eleven (11) tbirty-two pounders to he
transportedlio*Pittstfurg to Ship Island and
Gal voider', in Mississiild and Texas. This fact
was brought to the knowledge of the President
by a communication frcm Pittaburg ; and Sec
retary Holt. immediately, thereafter, counter
manded the'order of his J - tireile& -- sari and the
cannon were never sent. The promptitude with
which we acted elicited a vote of thanks, dated
on the 4th of JanuaiyllB6l;frbra the Select
and Common Councils of that city "to the
President. the Attorney General, and the acting
Secretary of War," (Mr. Holt.)
"After this etatement how shall we account
for the explicit declaration of General Scott
that 'accidentally hearing early. in March that
under this posthumous order (that of Mr. Floyd
of the 22d December) the shipment of these
guns had commenced, I communicated the fact
to Secretary Holt, (acting for Secretary Canter
on,) just in time to defeat,the robbery ?' And
this is the same Seen tart' - loft Who had coon
termanded the 'posthumus order' in the previ
ous December. Aud, strange to say, these guns,
but for the alleged interposition of Gen. Scott,
were about to be sent so late as March from the
Loyal States into those over which Jefferson
Davis had then for some time presided !
"Brad Gen: Scott reflected for a moment he
could not have fallen into this blunder. It is
quite manifest he was 'without a printed
document and my (his) own official papers.'
"8. 'lhe Government had on hand in the
year 1869 about 600,000 old muskets, which
had been condemned 'as unsuitable for public
service,' under the act of 3d of March, 1825.
Tuey were of such a character that, although
offered both' at public and private sale for
$2 60 each, purchasers could not be obtained
at that rate, except for a comparatively small
number. On the 80th of November, 1859,
SLcretary Floyd ordered about one-fifth of the
whole number (105,000) to be sent from the
Springfield armory, where they had accumu
lated, to five Southern arsenals, 'in proportion
to their respectiye means of proper storage.'
"This order was otrried,lato effectby the Ord
nance Bureau in the usual course of administra
tion and without reference to the President. It
le but justice to say that from the testimony
before the committee there is no reason to sus
pect that Secretary Floyd issued this order from
any sinister motive. Its date was months be
fore Mr. Lincoln's nomination for the Presi
dency, 414 Li 14E.I.Liy a year_ before his election,
and whilst the Secretary was still an avowed
opponent of secession. Indeed the testimony
of Colonel Craig and Capt. Maynadier, of the
Ordnance, before the , committee is wholly in
consistent with any evil.intention on his part.
"And yet these 'condemned muskets,' with
a few thousand ancient rifles of a calibre then
no longer used, are transformed by Gen. Scott
into '116,000 extra muskies and rifles, with all
their implements and ammunition.' This is the
first time I have heard-- T eertaiply there was
nothing of the kind before the committee—
that ammunition was sent with these condemn
ed and inferior arms to their places of storage,
just as though they had been intended not for
for sale but far untoodiata uaa in the
field. The truth Is, that it is im
possible to steal arms and transport them
tram one depository •to another without the ,
knowledge and active participation of the offi
cers of the Ordnance Bureau, 'kith iri Washing
ton and. at these depositories. It may be
observed that CoL , =Oraig,- the head of the
Bureau, at this •period was as correct an officer
and as loyal and as honest a man as exists in
the country. •
Yours, very respectfully,
JAMF BUCHANAN."

STERLING'S AMBROSIA
FOR THE HAIR-
AHANDSOME HEAD OF HAIR is a crown
of glory. With proper care and culture
it will last as a protection to the head as long
as the nails do to the fingers, or the eyelashes
to the eyes. STRBLINB'S AMBROSIA is the only
article yet discovered that will bring about the
desired results. It is a preparation the result
of science and experiment; the science point
ing out what was needed, and experiment find
ing the required properties in certain roots,barks,
and herbs. It has consumed a long time in its
preparation, has been tested by persons of most
undoubted reliability in this city, and is by them
pronounced perfect, and the only satisfactory
article, and is now offered to the public. The
proprietors, determined to give it the most
thorough tests, practical and chemical, and now
certain that it will make the hair grow luxuri
antly on Bald Heads, Preventing Grayness and
Baldness, Reinvigorating and Beautifying the.
Hair, rendering it soft and glossy.
DR. &mimeo's AntimostA is a stimulating,
oily extract of roots, barks, and herbs, and,
aside from its neatness, permanency, and gloss,
it is medically adapted to preserve and add to
the beauty of the hair. The only article yet dis
covered that will Cure the Disease of the Scalp, and
cause the Bair to Grow.
CERTIFICATES
This is to certify that about eighteen months
ago, 1 commenced using STBILLINCI'S AMBROSLA.
My hair was short, thin and rapidly falling out.
I had tried many Hair Tonics, Invigorators, &c.,
without receiving any benefit. Soon after using
the Ambrosia, my hair ceased falling out, and
commenced growing so rapidly as to astonish
me. Now my hair is thick, soft, and glossy,
and is five feet four inches in length—when let
down, reaching to the floor. This wonderful
result I attribute solely to the use of Sinummo's
AXBROSTA, as since I commenced using it I have
applied nothing else to my hair.
