They have found out that if they cannot oc

the railroad connection in East Tennessee,
,we shall achieve as important movement
'as Napoleon did ivlen he broke the Aus

alize the retel feces, cut the venomous
t rail of the secession serpent in two, leaving
one portion to writhe in Virginia and the
other in western Tennessee. The seces
sion armies are almost at an extremity for
the rneans-of subsi.stence, they have wasted
Virginia amost to 'her last corn field aud

Kentucky their fate is certain, for there wi 11
arise among them a battle for the means of
life, as famisbg sailors on a .shipwrecked

over bones of the last dead victim. The
masses are tired o! the uunatural strife
forced upon them by military despots, and

Tlie army of the Potomac, under' Gen.
McClellan, is estimated at 240,000, thul of
the rebel, eear.200 000. In the event of &
general -bath's, there will'be 'it-eariy 'fcalf a
contest. This is the largest force brought
"together in modern times. The largest ar
my of modern history, was on the field of
Lei psic.where Napolean had 175,000 against
the Allied army, numbering 290,000.. At
Borodino, the Corsican'hail 120.000, at Wa
"gram, he had 160,COO, and at Jena 130.000
At Austerlits, Napolean defeated the Rus
iana, Austrians with 80,C00, and at Water
loo, where he in turn was defeated, he had
only 80,000 men. The Federal force now
In the field is estimated at near 400,000,
while that of the rebels may be above that
figure, as they have nearly every third man
in the army. When we take into consider
ation lhegreat improvements in the means
of destruction, the multiplied inventions in
cluliin raaoy. terrible implements of death,
with the vast numbers engaged, a terrific

he Tribune tti such papers declare that
when the occasion arrives, it will not hesi
tate to do 'so. The latter reiterates that sla
very is the cause of the war, while tne for
mer retort that Abolitioi Nm is.
,t -Slavery existed in-a majority of the States
when the Union was formed. It was one of
llie institutions of a large se cticn of the
country, and a war upon that institution was
of course a war upon that section ia which
it existed. .The abolitionists have mule
uch a war, and that is the origin o1 otr
troubles. There is now but two parties in
the country. , The one is for the recons uc
tioa ol the Uiiiuii a it was,and f or the Con
siitmioa a It is, a id the oilier is Cor a revo

to:i ofour present constitution, and for anew
Government. The Administration must soon
lake its position. And if that position is in
, favor of raaintini;ig or ; Constitution and
our Government as it was, it must then re
pudiate &boli:ionism,and embrace the Con
stitutional doctrines of ibe Democratic party.

, - ' A Good Change. '
Last year at this time the Republican pa
pers of the Norih were abusing Union men
calling them 'Union savers," ''Northern
Dorgh-faces' Lick spittles and many other
Veauiiful names. We are glad to see the
healthy change in the tone of these papers.
'They now think sira'rghtout Republican
ism' will no longer answer, and that ' Union"
should take its. place If they had thought
o la.-t year' there would never have been a
war. We welcome lhera to ihe Union
ranks. Let "hem come in, get in, anyway,
just so that they are in. The , door is still

Ar last the policy of an exchange of pris
oners seems fairly to have, been inaugura
ted. Last week Cols. Mulligan, Peabody,
and a number of others, who had recently
been taken as prisoners by the Confeder
ate. were released, and we hope ere long
to bear of the return of all our gallant lel

A little explanalion, by - the Republican,
might be necessary.' in relation to the print
ing of the Agricultural Society, that jwe as
well as a la'rge number ot the members of
the Society, may more fully understand the
Tirunagement of it. It would tppear, from
I the lece'pfs published by the Rtfubljcan, that
fjly-one dollars If fifty one cents were paid that
esiabli.-hinent, for printing we presume
We may not be correct in' our prsumtion,
but as we are at a loss to know for what
else the Society would pay the Republican
money, we would naturally come to the
conclusion we' have : i. e., that the money
wasvpaid for priiiting. This printing of the
Society, if we remember distinctly, was put
up at a letting,held at the McKelvy corner,by
a ceii.ii portion 'of what are known as the
Executive Committee. Our bid was solicit
ed, which was fort) -five dollars. The bid
of the editor of the Lemocrat was, we are
informed, fifty dollars. - Anxiously, of rath
er uneasily, did we wait, lor several days
for a report from , this Committee, as we
feared we had put in our bid too low, and
might possibly receive the woTk ; but we
w ere agreeably surprised on learning that the
work was not put out at our bid. The Re
publican received and did the work, and in
it receipts it credits the Society with fifty
one dollar and fif'y one cents. . ' Now, our bid
was fix dollars and fifty one cents less' than
the Rcpub'ican's amount set out in its receipts.
Th'is matter may all be- right, but pipbably
it had1 better be understood. This is the
second letting of the Fair printing we have
figured in, and never receded any of the
work. Some fifty odd dollars have been
paid out for printing and all to one etUb
lishment. Why could not the work have
been divided among the diferent publish
ers in the county and 'done just as cheap
This certainly would give more general sat
isfaction The late Fair was a gocd one,ard
i if properly conducted will continue to be
successful, and one of the permanent " in
stitutions" of the county. We are far from
agreeing with our up country cotemporary,
that our late exhibition was a "decided fail
ure.'
Tlie Naral Expedition.
wn imtii tlio NotaI riiiportrtaon, ob
tained through rebel sources, was published
in Saturday's daily papers One account
states that the fleet was bombtrdins Port
Royal, the entiance to the harbor of Beau- j
fort South Carolina, and meeting with a
warm reception. Anotner says tnat our
troops had landed at Beaufort. One of our
war vessels is represented to have been
disabled'by the rebel batteries, and that two
transport vessels had been lot by the late
storm, and the crews 73 in number, are
now prisoners at Raleigh, North Carolina.
Since we have information that Port Roy
al has'been taken and Beaufort is now oc
cupied by our forces. The national flag is
once more floating in the breeze at that I
place in spite of the rebels. Beaufort is
said to be a very important point for our1
army lying between Savannah and Charles j
town. It is an excellent lauding point-)
Our forces are fast making preparation to
march on to the city of Charlesiown, which !
place it is -anticipated can easily be iaken if j
properly managed. Many despatches re- :
ceived in relation to this naval expedition!

cents per bag. He dried therr. again, put

; Friend 'Will; There has nothing View
transpired in Camp thus far, this weak", bn:
rain and-mud and mud and rain. Thas far
this week, 'has been the most disagreeable!
we have had the pleasure of enjoying sinci
our arrival in this hyperboiean region. I:i
fact, the rain and mud have prevented u
from pronecuting our regular vocation,' and
kept us shut up in our cotton roofed, colie i
sided, and ground floored cottages. '
R'Cruiting is still going on; and almoft
daily there are squads coming in camp :
yet it will require some considerable length
f time to fill the Regiments quartered iit
this place. There is a rumor in Camp that,
we are to be sent either to Hurrisburj vr
Hollidaysburg, and there go in'.o wmw.r
quarters; but it is not generally believed
If we are to remain in Pennsylvania th s
winter, the majority of '.h men will I a n
sure, prefer staying here, rather than change
to eitt.er of the above named places.
. Our Regiment was serenaded by the pa
triotic ladies of Ifuuii.iiion 0i the evening
oi the 2d inst They visited our Camp ar d
sung several national an I patriotic songs,
among which were tha "Star Spangled Ban
ner," "For the Union Still,"' "Red, White
and Blue," and "The Flag of our Union
Korever ;' after w hich the Rev. de
livered a'fchort patriotic address to the bo)6,
which was received with- tremendous ap
plauce.
By the way, our Colonel says that thi is
to be a mounted Rifle Regiment, and ttie
crack Regiment of Pennsylvania. In jus
tice to the men here, I must say that tiny
are as fine a looking set of men as it fas
been my fortune to look upon for many a
day. A school for instructing the o!hcirs
has been esutli.-hed here, and the elTfct
is already visible iti the drills ol the differ
ent companies.
Gen. James declares that 'neither pains
nor expense shall be spared to make this a
star Regiment, and I can assure you that,
when once equipped, they will be second
to none that have yet entered the United
Sta es service. And led on by such officers
as James and Murray they will write the
name of the 84th Pennsylvania Regiment
hiuh on the mount of fame; or, like the
Old Guard," die in defence of our rights
and the flag of four and thirty stars.

But go because it is our duty ;"
Yes, and shall continue to think it our

A Southern View of the War.
From all accounts it is evident that the
Southern people are beginning to leel the
weakness of their resources against the
combined army of the North. Tiie follow
ing article, which we copy from the Rich
mond If'A'g, conveys importaut iufcrma
lion : .
All indications point to a long war At
one time we had hoped that the dash the
elan of our volunteers unrestrained, but 8im
ply guided by able Generals would hare
.planted our banners before frost in the heart
ol the enemy's country and conquered an
honorable peace. But a different policy
has obtained. We of the South, who were .
to. attack, have adopted a system of delence
and, so far, have uniformly awaited the ad
vance of ihe loe. This may be the 6afer
policy, but we have naver been afjle to ap
preciate it. Our conviction is that a victo
rious advance into the enemy's country is
the only road to a lasting and honorable
peace. We must fight and we must, con
quer before we can make a treaty. If we
cannot do this we must submit to the fate
of the weaker party. The enemy have
dominion over the sea; he can assail us at
alminl innumerable points, he can plunder
our coast an. I penetrate our rivers He is
supreme in the Chesapeake Bay ; he com
mands the Potomac ; he h& possession of
Maryland, of Northwestern Virginia and is
coa ending for Missouri and Ker:ti.cky.
While he threatens our whole coast, he
ma) assail us at any point of ur ex
tended frontier. This v. hole situation must
be altered tefore we can have peace on any
terir.s compatible with honor and sa ely.
We have never heard of any pU-n sug
gested tor effecting this desirable a! eration
short of carrying the war into the enemy's
country. While we stand on the defensive
and the enemy is entrenched on this side of
the Potomac, it is impossible for u to des
troy his supremacy at sea or pretent his
predatory incursions on our coa-t. We sub
jected to all the disadvantages of a defen
sive war of indefinite duration, or lo a peace
d:ctated by the enemy. The possibility of
our success is not within, range of accident.
To prevent our subjugation or extermination
is all we can hope for.
We have no skill in startegy, an 1 know
nothing of the means at the cominand of
our Generals ; but if this is all tha'. is left
to us, we had as well be looking out for
terns of submission, and the soctier the
better. An endless war which aflords no
opportunity for either victory or revenge is
a bootless undertaking.
The Southern people, who have offered
themselves and their all for the prcseculion
of this war, and who have reposec' implicit
confidence in the men entrusted with its
conduct, have locked for comethirg belter.
It is not to be disguised that a senss of un
easiness and distrust is gradually supplant
ing that generous confidence. , Aiuspicion
ig gaining gro und that all the at vantages
of our position have not been profi ed by as
they might have been; and p osecuted
with the vigor and energy denunded by
the emergency. We hear muiterings and
complaints .apart from those conne:ted with
the quartermaster, commissary and medi
cal departments, growing out ol, the ap
pointment of so many civilians to I igh com
mands. Many of these appointments have
filled the country- with appreheasions of
some greater disaster. ... -' ; 1

The A'jtcm.m Leaves. No one can main
tain, after this year's experience, lli.it frost
has any special agency in the autumn col
oration of leaves. Scientific men have long
understood the matter, and have explained
the ripening of tho leaf as a simple process
of vegetable growth. The coloration of
leaves al'malurity can no more be account
ed for than' the red df the rose, the blue of
tho violet or the orange of ihe lily. The
color which leaves assume in tne Fall is
due to the same causes. But the popular
idea ih.it the leave are change ! by the
I rout is so firmly ettaLiit-hrd in the nvnds
of some people that it is difficult to dispel it.
This fall the foliage assumed the most gor
geous coloring without the sign of frost,
and, indeed, seemed to be more brilliant on
account of its uoti appearance. This re per
fectly natural, as the leaves were able to
gradually assume the colors which belong
to their ripeness, unobstructed by sudden
cold.

Cairo, Nov. 7. An expedition left here
last night under command of Generals Grant
and McClernand.and ianded at Belmot,three
miles above Columbus, at S o'clock this
morning.
The Federal iroops;numbering three thou
sand five hundred. engaged the rebels,whose
f orce amourried to seven thousand, at 11 o'
clock. The battle lasted till sundown. The
rebels were drivn from their entrenchments
across the river with great loss. Their camp
was burned, with all their stores and bag
gage. Their cannon, horses and mules, with one
hundred prisoners, were captured.
The Federal troops then retired, the rebels
having received reinforcements fiom Co
lumbus. Both of oar Generals had their horses
shot from under them.
Col. Dougherty of Illinois, was wounded
and taken prisoner by the rebels.
The rebel loss is not known, J he Feder

accompanied by the gunboats Lexington
and Tyler.
Afetr landing,lhey were formed in line of
battle Gen McClernand in command of the
Cairo troops, and Col. Dougherty of the
Bird's Poii.t troops.
They were encountered by the rebels,
7,000 strong, and fought every inch of their
way to the enemy's camp, making sad hav
oc in the enemy's ranks.
Col. Buford was the first to place the stars
and stripes in the enemy's camp. Colonel
Dougherty's regiment captured the rebel
battery of twelve peice,two of which were
brought away.
Col. Foulke's men suffered greatly, hs
tbey were in tjie front of the batteries before
they wers taken.
The Position of the Federal Forces.
The Louisville Journal has the following
interesting account of the position of the
Federal troops:
Buckner has left the south bauk "-of the
Green river and retired his forces towords
Bowling Green, and Stanton has left Burks
vilie,in Cumberland county, and returned to
Tennessee with his maranding gang. These
movements may bs regarded as our strate
gic victories deleatmg the rebels witnout a
t attle. The disposition of the three divisions
of our Federal troops may be brielly sta'ed:
Gen. Crittenden commands the Western di
vision, Gen. McC ook ihe Centre, and Gen.
SchtrpfFthe Eastern, while Gen. Sherman,
supervises the whole. We have already
shown that in the West Col Burbridge has
advanced as far as Woodbury, which is at
the confluence of the Big Barren with Green
river aoout 15 miles on ihe left flang of
Bockner's position at Bowling Green.
In the centre our troops have gone some
15 miles beyond Nolm and taken position
at Bacon Creek, which is not more than sit
or seven miles from Munfordsville. on the
Green river. We gave a letter on Saturday,
from Crab Orchard. stating that the Western
division had received orders to march from
Mt. Vertton,ihe intended rout being through
Pulaski towards Cumberland, from whence
Staunton has just fallen back. Thus our
troops are converging upon the enemy's po
sition. which extends from Bowling Green
on his left tr rough his centre in Barren
county t" his right recently a: Burksville
The Union armies are advariing slowly
and surely. Gen. Crittenden has his head
quarters at Morgantown, in Rutler county,
with such gallant spirits as Colonels Jack
sou, Mclleiiry and Burbridge.
General McCook will sooti be at Mun-
fordsviHe.on ihe Green river, at which point
he caM cross whenever it is desirable, and
General SehavfT is clearing away ihe rebels
who have recently ravaged the vallej of tht
Cumberland. Whether anj advance v"nl he
maJe at present, we. do not know, but the
movements of our Irierds gave cheerful in
dications that the threatened mrfrch M
Buckner and his men upon Louisville, for
their winter quarters, is entirely impracti
cable. Our forces are aMe to assume the
defensive with all security, but we are not
prepared to say that they re strong enough
in attack the ret el entrenchments and forti
fications al Bowling Green nor do we know
that such a course i desirable. That p.ace
