DISASTERS OCCASIONED BY ABOLI TION GENERALS TO THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Mr. EDITOR :—The next disaster visited upon the Army of Virginia, inflicted upon it by an Abolition General, T. C. Fremont, the Pathfin der, was when General M'Clellan, with his army, stood before Richmond. Gen. NClel lan embarks his troops at Alexandria and ar rives at Fortress Monroe. Now, never mind which is the best base to move on Richmond— by James river, York river, by Fredericks burg via Acquia creek, or the upper route by Gordonsville. Each and all have their several advantages and disadvantages; and the Omar mittee on the Conduct of the War knows no more about it, Mr. Editor, than the smallest boy you employ in your printing office at Har risburg. Let us brush it all aside, and go to the res gaga of the matter as briefly as possi ble. A military campaign is a dramatic action— it has its commencement, its middle, and its end. Now, Mr. Editor, let yourself and your readers accompany me with the Army of Vir ginia, and see if we cannot understand the great drama, in all its three parts, without being befogged by the Committee on the Con duct of the War. Ist part the commencement of the campaign. Gen. M'Clellan, on landing with his army at Fortress Monroe, finds General Lee has strongly fortified Yorktown, garnished his works with heavy ordnance, and concentrated his whole army there. General M'Clellan invests it—in sixteen days forces General Lee to yield it— (and what is a a remarkable fact, in the same number of days, exactly, that Gen. Washing ton took . !,co invest the same city and bring Cornwallis to submission)—Gen. Lee retreats, is pursued, Gen. Magruder, who commands his rear division, from irritable temper, makes a stand at Williamsburg ; Gen. Lee, to save him, is forced to sustain him—a "shock of arms" takes place—General Lee is forced back, and General M'Clellan wins the field—General Lee -withdraws his whole army within the fortifica tions around Richmond—General M'Clellan advances—toils and struggles, successfully, by herculean labors, through the swamps of the Chickahominy—sends a division of his army across the stream and gains a firm footing— General Lee alarmed, determines to hurl it back—surprises and rents it—it is sustained by General Sumner, and the pursuit arrested— General Lee brings up 35,009 niumktigained corps crosses to dispute its possession—a se were "shock of arms" takes place—the ground in dispute is won by Gen. M'Clellan, with a mile and a half in front in addition yielded by General Lee, and the Army of Virginia stands within six miles of the rebel capital, and ita steeples can be seen, and its bells and clocks can be heard at Gen. M'Clellan's outposts. Here ends the first part of the military drama, and so far success accompanies Gen. M'Clellan, the current broken only by the rout of Casey's division, and that promptly re paired. Now we come to the second part of the great drama. Gen. Beauregard comes up from the south with large reinforcements for Gen. Lee. Gen. Lee now outnumbers Gen. M'Clel lan, say in the proportion of 5 to Z. General M'Clellan, fully aware of it, asks for rein forcements—is told he can't Lucie them—asks again, and again, and again. Same answer, Asks to send him some from Fortress Monroe —can't do it ; from Washington—can't, again; asks for M'Dowell's corps—can't be done. Gen. M'Clellan then communicates to the President his great apprehensions of General Jackson's coming down on his flank and rear, and break ing up his communications--gets at last M' Call's division of Gen. M'Dowell's army, and is told that the rest of that corps is sent to prevent what he so deeply fears. Gen. Lee, though reinforced by Beaureiard's troops, afraid to attack Gen. M'Clellan, devises a cavalry expe dition against Gen.M'Clellan's communications, and thus force him to change his front. Gen. Stuart commands it—tries it, and fails. Gen. ~M'Clellan will not change his front—holds his ground, still faces Richmond, with a determi nation to wrest it from Gen. Lee at all hazards as soon as he hears that General Jackson's at tempt to strike his flank and rear is arrested, as promised. • This brings us to the third part, the end or crisis of the campaign, in which victory is to be gained or lost. All eyes are now turned upon the opera- Hops of Gen. Thos. Jefferson Jaokeon (known by the soubriquet of Stonewall Jackson in both armies). Now, Mr. Editor, if that enterpri sing officer can disentangle himself from Banks, who is following him down the Valley —from M'Dowell's troops, crossing the Blue Ridge to intercept him—and from Fremont's large force, ordered across from Western Vir ginia, with his very route marked out for him, for the same purpose—and strike Gen. M'Clel lan's army on its flank and rear, the rebel Cap ital is saved! If he cannot do it, Richmond is to -be evacuated, and the campaign in Virginia successfully closes t All see it. Gen, M'Clel lan tells the Predent, and he tells Halleck, and Halle& tells Fremont and Banks. and they tell each other. Gen. Lee sees it, and tells Beauregard—he sees it, and they both tell Jeff. Davis—and he tells Stonewall Jackson, who sees it by intuition. Now, mark what takes place, and you and your readers will see who caused the defeat to the Army of Virginia. Stonewall Jackson finds no difficulty, it seems, in shaking off Banks, his pursuer ; it would be rather sur prising if he did—he is a New England Gene ral. But to rub put M'Dowell's troops—that was a "tight place" indeed ; it came down to the fraction of an hour; it was a "touch and go" affair—but Stonewall "rubbed himself through that. But the greatest peril was from the large force of Fremont, the "Pathfinder," when, lo ! he was evaded without a collision of any moment, he was out-generalled yith im punity, and Jackson threw his whole corps over the Blue Ridge without harm from that quarter. But why ? you naturally ask. Why, because Gen. Fremont ohose, instead of fol lowing his instructions, given by the President himself, to take his own course, and took Me wrong route, and the whole of the movements were rendered abortive. Well might the Pre sident say, "I never knew General Fremont to obey an order," and refuse to give him again an active command. The rest of the disastrous story is soon told. Gen. Jackson by rapid marches joins Gene. Lee and Beauregard's forces, and, outnumber ing Gen. M'Clellan two to one, forces him to fall back from Richmond and retire to a safer position on James River, which he does, not withstanding their combined efforts to pre vent it. The curtain falls, Mr. Editor, on this great military drama, and the actors in it are brought before the American people by, the "Strumpet Fortune" in their several characters, and thus they stand, namely : Lee—from the incapacity and infidelity of his antagonist's supporters—the Conqueror. Jackson.---from his own intrinsic ability, ac tivity and obedience—the hero. M'Clellan—the true conqueror, but for the incapacity and infidelity of his supportero— the Victim. Fremont—who might have been the hero, •but for his incapacity and disobedience—the Destroyer. Halleek—the. military adviser of the Presi dent—the Marplot. Banks—the original and legitimate opponent of the Hero—the Pia-ailer. This shall be my last departure, Mr. Editor. Causes in my next. PuBLICOLA. ARMY RESOLUTIONS Every day brings us fresh evidence of the in famous attempts of the administration, through Abolition officers and hired emissaries, to con vert the army into a political machine to be used for the purpose of overawing the people and con verting the government into a central military despotism. It has already come to that pass that no private soldier dare express Democratic sentiments without subjecting himself to insult and oppression, and no officer avow his politi cal principles, if in opposition to those held by the administration, without being denounced as a traitor and summarily and " disgrace " (as they term it) dismissed the service. 176th, who refused to indorse retioliition - s - de - - nouncing the Democracy of the free States as " Copperheads " and "traitors," and such the recompense of Lieutenant Edgexly, who, after faithfully serving, his country from the com mencement of the war, was, " dismissed the service of the United States," by order of the President, on the 13th of March, 1863, for— as the order falsely and infamously declares— " circulating Copperhead tickets, and doing all in his power to promote the rebel cause in hie State "—the " the head and front of his offence " consisting in this, that, being in New Hampshire at the time of the State election, he exercised a freeman's privilege and voted the Democratic ticket. We blush to record these facts, so disgraceful to our country, and only a sense of duty impels us to do so. In addition to the letters from the army, bearing upon this subject, which we have already published, we have several on band confirming fully all that we have ever alleged. We invite attention to the two following, which we think will be read with interest by every body, and open some eyes which have hitherto been closed against the truth : From the Perry County Democrat A young soldier friend writes us : " I thank you for the papers you sent me. I was glad to receive them, for it is seldom I get seeing any papers, and when I do they are of that sort which disgrace the country they are _published in—teeming with vile abuse of those who love the Union and the Constitution, and giving prairie to none who do not bow down and worship every act and deed of the present corrupt and wicked administration. At the present time efforts are made to prevent all newspapers being circulated which do not sup port the Lincoln dynasty. When I received your kind favor I opened it in the presence of a captain in our regiment., and when he saw What papers they were he at once denounced them as 'Copperhead' papers. I seated myself on my bed and commenced reading them. The captain went out and shortly came bouncing into my quarters the surgeon of the regiment and wanted to know what I had. I told him they were the Harrisburg PATRIOT and Pittsburg Post. Says he : ' They are "Copperhead" papers and I don't want to see them about these quarters.' I told him I thought he was mistaken, that I had been read ing them and found from their contents that they were for the Union as it was and the Constitution as it is.' Says le The editors are traitors, two of them having been impris oned for disloyalty to the government, and if I see them about the quarters I will burn them!' I told hint they were sent me by a friend and that I intended to read them—that I was old enough to judge between right and wrong, and so long as I lived I would read what I pleased, denounce error and oppose the present nigger-loving, Union-hating admin istration. Says he, 'lf after you are through with them I find them distributed among the men you will hear from me.' So you can see what things are coming to here. The unholy spirit of despotism dreads the doctrines of free speech and a free press. To night the officers of this regiment have a meeting to denounce 'traitors' at home. What traitors? Those who support Lincoln for suppressing the writ of habeas car pus; for issuing his negro emancipation pro clamation; for signing the unconstitutional act admitting Western Virginia into the Union as a State; for preventing certain newspapers being carried in the mail, and other atrocious acts Y No ! But to denounce those who are in favor of the Union as it was and the Consti tution as it is. Democratic officers here do not attend these meetings. They are then looked PRICE TWO CENTS. upon with suspicion, and the first opportunity that presents itself, however trivial, they are dishonorably dismissed from the service. I hope you who are not in the " army, you who have not taken the oath to obey all orders of the President of the United States, will fight the unconstitutional acts of this miserable, this tyrannical administration to the bitter end.— They would make us slaves here, yes, white slaves to free the black?. We look to you to do your duty this coming fall. Rebuke the wicked doings of those in power." The following, from the Monroe Democrat, is from a private of the 176th, Colonel Lechler, and has reference to the proceedings purpor ting to have been unanimously adopted by the regiment, recently published in the Telegraph and other vile Abolition papers. The " Cap tain of Co. D, from Lehigh county," spoken of, is Captain Schaad, to whom we have already referred : " The Democrats in the regiment were bit terly opposed to the whole proceeding. They in a low tone, however, had to express their condemnation upon the nefarious resolutions adopted at the time, which abused all the De mocrats at home. Our friend Jacob Angle moir, however, from the western part of the county, could not bear if. He bursted out in a rage, slapped his fists together at the same time exclaiming, 'I can whip the best Repub lican in the regiment.' Our drunken Colonel looked at him like a cowardly skinned coon, but made no remarks, and sneaking Major Schoonover disappeared. A captain from Le high county of Company D refused to sign the resolutions, upon which the Colonel remarked, 1 Luc be G—d d--d, soon have the straps off of your shoulders'—and within a week he actu ally was discharged, losing all his pay due him by the government, amounting to about $7OO. This accounts for other Democratic officers signing these resolutions, although against their wishes and sentiments." EXTRACT OF A LETTER From William Bunter, heretofore a Senator of the United states, and afterwards Governor of New Hampshire, addressed to John Q. Adams. EPPING, N. H., December 20,1828. During the long and eventful session of Con gress of 1803 and 1804, 1 was a member of the Senate, and was at the city of Washington every day of that session. In . the course of the session, at different times'and places, seve ral of the Federalists, Senators and Repre sentatives, from the New England. States, in formed me that they thought it necessary to establish a separate government in New England, and, if it should be found practicable, to extend it so far 'oath as to include Pennsyl vania ; but in all events to establish one in New England. They complained, that the slaveholdiog States had acquired, by means of their slaves, a greater increase of Representa tives in the House than was just and equal; that too great a portion of the public revenue was raised in the Northern states, and too muoh of it expended in the Southern and Wes tern States ; and that the acquisition of Louisi ana and the new States that were formed, and those to be formed in the West and in the ceded territory, would soon annihilate the weight and influence of the Northern States in the government. Their intention, they said, was to establish ,their new government under the authority and - . . majority of a Legislature in a State in favor of a separation, the Legislature should repeal the law authorizing the people to elect Repre sentatives to Congress, and the Legislature decline electing Senators to Congress, and gradually withdraw the State from the Union, establish custom house officers to grant regis ters and clearances to vessels, and eventually establish a Federal government in the North ern and Eastern States. And that if New En gland united in the measure, it would in due time be effected without resorting to arms. Just before that session of Congress closed, one of the gentlemen to whom I have alluded, informed me, that arrangements had been made to have the next autumn, in Boston, a select meeting of the leading Federalists in New England, to consider and recommend the measures necessary to form a system of gov ernment for the Northern States, and that Alexander Hamilton, of New York, had con sented to attend that meeting. Soon after my return from Washington, I adopted the most effectual means in my power to collect the opinions of well-informed leading Federalists in New Hampshire, upon the sub ject. I found some in favor of the measure, but a great majority of them decidedly op posed to the project ; and from the partial and limited inquiries I made in Massachusetts, the result appeared to me nearly similar to that in New Hampshire. The gentleman, who in the winter of 1803 and 1804, informed me there was to be a meet ing of the Federalists, in the autumn of 1804, at Boston, at the session of Congress in the winter of 1804 and 1805, observed to me, that the death of General Hamilton had prevented the meeting, but the project was not, and would not be abandoned. I owe it to you as well as myself, to state explicitly that in the session of Congress, in the winter of 1803 and 1804, I was myself in favor of forming a separate government in New England; and wrote several confidential letters to a few of my friends and correspond ents, recommending the measure. But after wards, upon thoroughly investigating and ma turely considering the subject, I was fully convinced that my opinion in favor of separa tion was the most erroneous that I ever formed upon political subjects. The only consolation I had, was that my error in opinion had not produced any acts injurious to the integrity of the Union. When the same project was re vived in 1308 and 1809, during the embargo and non-intercourse, and afterwards, during the war of 1812, I used every effort in my power, both privately and publicly, to defeat the at tempt then made to establish a separate inde pendent government in the Northern States.

SPIRITUALISM AND RODGOBL/NO.—When the clergyman of Chicago waited upon the Presi dent of the United States, he informed then that the proclamation for the freedom of ne groes would be like the pope's bull, against the comet; "but," says the President, "if the Lord desires me to do this, why don't he inform me, who am so deeply interested in, and- responsiw ble for, knowing ?" The Chicago• p riesthood did not understand him. They werei . Methodists. But Robert Dale Owen, who is a Spiritualist, had a communication with the spirits, and thereupon wrote a letter to Secre tary Stanton, urging the proclamation upon the country and the President as just, right and of God. Judge Edmonds, Robert Dale Owen, and other spiritualists gave the President the long expected communication through medi ums, and he acted accordingly. Now put a pin right here. In no arbitrary arrest has this form of despotism been exer cised toward a Puritan or Spiritualist. Dash ieil and Olds among the Methodists, M'Phee. ters among the Presbyterians, M'Master among the Catholics, Episcopalians represented by Judge Carmichael, all well, thoroughly and fitly represented in prisons without Grime ; but no Puritan, no Spiritualist, has ever been arrested—none ever will. We have an admin istration controlled by Spiritualism. Gurley is a Spiritualist, Robert Dale Owen, Judge Edmonds, and Thad. Stevens, Burlingame, Schurz, and Sumner are Spiritualists. The last appointment announced is that of Gurley, of Cincinnati, Governor of Arizona, a Spiritualist. Has it come to this I—a great country governed by ghosts, spirits, hobgob lins, table-turnings, rappings, &o. Be not de ceived; this is the animus of the administra tion.—Burlingtod (Iowa) Argus, The above is true, undoubtedly, but it does not tell us half of "the whole truth." Judge Edmonds, the man of "visions," is an adviser of the President, and is frequently at Washing ton. We think he is now residing there. A noted medium of New York city, is frequently sent for, and has interviews with the Presi. dent, the object of the latter being to obtain communications from the spirits. This, wa have excellent authority for saying, is strictly true. In reference to the proclamation, this may . be said. The spirit of Andrew Jackson was called upon,and urged vehemently that it should not be issued. The spirit of Thom Jefferson was called, and was in favor of issuing it. It is now suspected that the spirit which repre sented itself to be that of Jefferson was an im poster. From what we have been told we have no doubt that the President is a very firm believer in ghosts ; but, it is said, he is more conserva tive than most of the conservatives who sur round him, and frequently remarks that the communications from the other world are often ' • ' Devil, as is his custom once a year, held au examination to see which of his imps hag la bored most faithfully in his service. Calling them together, he questioned them as to what they had performed. " I," said one, " raised a mighty whirlwind, which blew the sands of the desert upon a car avan of Christian pilgrims, and they all per. ished." " Pooh !" said the Devil, what of that their souls were all saved." "1," said -another, "sunk a ship loaded with Christians, and hey were all lest." But their souls were all saved, so that did me no good," replied the Devil, contemptu ously. " Well," said a third, "in that part of America from which your majesty has often regretted receiving so few subjects, T, by good management, have succeeded in having one of your majesty's particular friends appointed ruler, which was no sooner effeoted than he adroitly set the inhabitants by the ears fight ing over a question, which he told them at the time, would still remain the same, after years of bloodshed.'." " That's better," cried the Devil, " and if it can be kept up, as you say, that country will yet afford us a good crop." " And I," said a fourth, " have not been idle in that part of' the world. I MVO cultivated . the most intimate acquaintance with many of their divines, and have persuaded them to drop the Bible and take up war politics, anti taw are having a vast influence among the circles which have been wont to look to them for ad vice." "Ha! ha!" laughed the Devil, "you are the smartest imp of them all, and shall have the highest place in my favor. I see that I shall have no cause to complain of that coun try being unproductive to my kingdom hereaf ter."—Newark Jonrnal. MARIE THIC DigTERENO E.—Hundreds of lead ing Republicans and Republican papers are urging a dissolution of the Union. Some have advocated dissolution for years; others, like the Tribune, believe in ,the doctrine of seces sion; others say they want to " whip the South and then let them go i • " others say they will _never consent to a restoration of the Union ; others say they are sick of the war and are willing to let the Southern States go off. In these and a score of similar forms of expres sion, hundreds of the leading spirits of the Republican party have declared their willing ness to have the Union broken up, and their utter hostility to its restoration and perpetua tion. But this ispagriotivm, and those men are patriots, according to the Republican diction ary. On the other hand, no Democrat was ever heard to express or approve of any of these sentiments; no Democrat either advocates or approves of the doctrine of secession; no Dem ocrat is willing to see the Union dissolved; all Democrats hold that its restoration and pre sx'iradon are indispensable to the prosperity of the conntry and the perpetuity of our free institutions ; and no Democrat avows a wil lingness to make peace upon any other terms than a complete restoration of the old Union. Bit this is treason, and Democrats are traitors, according to the Republican dictionary. We wish all readers to ponder this great fast —this fundamental and vital difference between the two parties and to note the daily proof of it which is lound in the avowals of leading men and papers.' And having thus confirmed the letothem reflect upon the depth and height and magnitude of the impudence, the au d ac ity, 'the rascality, the total depravity displayed by • •theseAraitorous Republicans in their whole elisrgeipof disloyalty" and aymapthy with rebellion, so constantly made sodas& t he D en _ oericy.Aiil/01,071 Demers&
