i 'J@-The Gazette styles ouv article of
on the President, “a covert at
tack” upon the Administration. It
then, in true Pecksniff style, defends
the Administration from the alleged at
tack. Now we cannot oblige our neigh
bor by taking issue with it on this point;
we have given the Administration a
heartier support since the rebellion broke
out than the Gazette has : but while
doing so, we were not blind to the fact
of President Lincoln not being the man
for the times.
Our article of Monday was really one
of sympathy for the President, and not
by any means an attack. When we
have cause for attacking, we shall do it
openly, so that there will be no misun-
derstanding our position.
Prom the Gazette’s article we quote the
following:
“It is admitted on all hands that the
President has one of the most difficult po-
Bilious to fill that ever before fell to the
lot of soy man. It came upon him anu
the country unexpectedly. He was not
selected with a view to any such contingen
cy, and it is possible that he may not be vn
every respect, by natural talent and educa.
tion, entirely fitted lor the emergency. It
would be very strange if he waB.”
There is as much censure in this par
agraph as there is to be found in the
article to which the Gazette dissents.
The claim of credit by the Gazette for
the Administration because of its having
appointed Democrats to positions in the
army, is more jocular than serious, —
What, let us ask, could the Adminis
tration do but appoint Democrats, when
there were none others to be had ? Had
it relied upon the Bpouters of the Re
publican party, the rebels er.e this would
have had possession jot the Capital. —
Werejit not for such Democrats as Mc-
Clellan, Dix, Butler, Wool, Rosecrans,
Lander, Stephens. Porter, Cadwalader,
and Anderson, and a score more of Gen
erals and Colonels we cannot now men
tion, we might as well abandon the con
test. Republicanism, with its thousands
of “Wide Awake soldiers,” can, by its
fanatioism, involve the country in bloody
war, but Democrats are required to carry
us through the struggle.
The Administration has nothing to
fear from the Democracy in the prose
cution of tho war; its bitterest assail
ants, even now, are to be found in the
Gazette’s ranks ; and, unless we are very
much mistaken in the signs of the times,
(if this war continues another year) we
will see the Gazette, and those who tiling
as it does, opposing the Administration
and the Democracy sustaining it. It is
fast approaching this condition of affairs.
Whenever the Administration’s policy
is so shaped as to satisfy abolitionism
that the wariß not intended nor is likely
about servile insnrrectipn or
emancipation, then we may look out for
as great an exhibition of fury against
President Lincoln’s policy as was mani
fested against President Fillmore when
he Blapped abolitionism in the face by
signing the compromise measures of
Henry Clay.
The mission of the Democracy in the'
present crisiß is not to assail the Presi-.
dent, but to support him. It will supl
port him and defend him,;foo, not oply
against the rebels, but ajprillSlfourliQftfi
ern disunionists, who would see the gov
ernment prostrated rather than forego
a particle of their fanatical teachings.—
This magnificent system of government
must not be destroyed by fanatics in
either Bection ; its preservation depends
upon that old, conservative party which
held the reigns Of power so long; and
which is defined, assisted by the patri
otic men q) party, to agaiii reunite
us anirend^/ our “Union morS perfect”
than it was when the rebellionj broke
out. ’B&ere thing jnorally certain,;
Republiqbniginjfkan neither conquer h‘>

Exchange of Prisoners.
Front-TVashington we learn that the
question of an exchange of prisoners is
beginning to be discussed in various quar
ters. Complaints are being Bent forward
by such of our officers and men now in
confinement at Charleston and Richmond,
demanding action on the part of the Ad
ministration. The percentage of prisoners
held by the Confederate States is largely
over the number confined at Fort Lafay
ette and elsewhere. Necessity, which ia
tho mother of law, in all cases, may com
pel a disposition of this vexed question at
an early day.

Headquarters aud Rosecrans’ Head
quarters.
A correspondent of the Wheeling
(Va.) Intelligencer, writing from tlie
headquarters of General Rosecrans, who
has shown by deeds that ho is the man
to light and oommand, says :
‘■We found Gen. Rosecrans’ head- ‘
quarters to be one of the most ordinary
t ents on the ground, not even having a
board floor, its simple furniture consist
ing of two or camp stools and camp
chebts, and a bed of the most primitive
character. Thero was nothing whatever
about the tent save the stars and stripes
floating above to Bhow that it constitu

United States in Western Virginia. As
to his present position and the move
ments of those under his command, wo
have but one word to say : lie know?
what lie is doing, and what he should

what they can do. All is quiet, and
likely to be so.
LATEST NEWS FROM THE
SOUTH.
The Richmond Press on the l.ate Baltic
Near Leesburg, Va.
The Richmond papers of Thursday
last have been received at Washington,
and are full of exaggerated accounts of
Ihe rebel success at Leesburg.
The Richmond H7uy says;
The victory of Colonel (now General)
Kvana at Leesburg, on Monday, was evon
more complete and gloriouß than we yester
day reported it. In addition to the dis
patches we then published, ono was re
ceived by the President Tuesday night,
from the chief of General Beauregard’s
Btaff, Colonel Jordan, in which he says:—
“I have to report the capture of six hun
dred prisoners and one thousand two hun
dred stand of arms. Their killed and
wounded amount to between one thousand
and one thousand two hundred. The rout
was total. The fight was an infantry on.
gagement exclusively. Tho forces were
the Bth Virginia and tho 17th and. 18th
Mississippi regiments.—the I3th Mississippi
being held in reserve." No artillery was
fired by us.”
These great results, be it remembered,
were achieved by two thousand fivo hun
dred men, fighting against ten thousand,
with five batteries of artillery on their side,
and none in use on ours. One man to four
with a strong artillery force helping the
four. History shows few feats of arms so
splendid. Henceforth the name of General
Evans will take its place on the roll of
heroes, and his unconquerable troops have
achiovod a deed that will make their mem
ories glorious for generations to come. To
have been with Evans at Loesbnrg will bo
for each one of them hereafter an indisput
able proof of dauntless valor, and will
constitute for each a title and a passport to
the gratitude of his countrymen. With
forces cruelly disproportioned, they have
stricken the presumptuous invaders a blow
that has sent them staggering and shriek
ing back from the soil their footsteps pol
luted, and that must make the giant usur
pation at" Washington shudder through all
its frame.
— Tff e B ro as yet without the names of any
of the brave men who have fallen on our
side, martyrs in the saered struggle for
-imperiled liberty and a beleaguered land.
We sympathise in the anxious solicitude of
those whoso friends met the fortunes of this
memorable fight, and some of whom now
sleep beneath the soil their self-devotion
has consecrated, They have fallen nobly,
astfue then, and the country mourns.with
those who are bereft. Let this be their
consolation.
The Richmond JDispalc/ithus concludes
an editorial on the battle:
The splendid sneoess of General Evans
against a force four times as numerous as
hiß own.iflearly Indicates the policy which
ought to have been pursued by the (Jonfed*
erato forces from tbo begiening. The
Yankees cannot stand before oar men.—
They beat them wherever they come in
collision with them, let the odds be what
they may against them.
Is it not, then, the height of folly to
treat them as thbugh they were veterans —
to halt before equal numbers and commence
throwing up dirt, instead of rushing upon
them at once with the bayonet, and driving
theqa off from our soil ? What is the end
War ? Is it not peafcs as soon as it can
bo obtained on favorable terms'? And how
can it be obtained ao Boon as by beating
?fhe enemy? Defensive war is always
adopted by the party' who is weakest in
men or discipline. We have been at least
equal to the rpnemy in both throughout'this
campaign,andyetwc have taken advantage
of nlithqri ‘
The slow protracting movements adopted
by our generals have borne very hardly on
Virginia. ’ A large portion of'hßr territory
is in possession of .the enemy, and it is of
the.utmoU importance to get him out of it.
Thia cannot be done by letting him alone,
nhd Waiting for him to come after us. The
people of Virginia (hi pic the more hardly
of it because they see t|iat‘the enemy never
stands before our -forces. They believe that
they could have been driven out monthß
ago if out generals had tried to do- it, and.
they cannot be made to believe any thing
else.
THE COAST OF NOBTH CAROLINA.
We are glad to learn, says the 'Richmond
Dispatch, that Brig. Gen. Hill is putting
everything in motion in his department on
our coaßt: He is erecting new batteries
and putting everything in order for the
reception of the enemy. We learn that
our sounds will be covered with armed
vessels, to meet the foe at every point We
observe that Hen. HUI makes a requisition
upon the pepple of OraVenjfor one.fourth

FROM WASHINGTON.
THE ADVANCE OF THE ABM*.
Notwithstanding the Leesburg battle,
speculation is quite at a stand still here,
relative to an advance of the army. Public
opinion seems equally divided, though
thero is no disguising tho fact that there is a
strong pressuro for something .to be done.
Some argue an immediate' m'ovoment on
Manassas as necessary to open the Potomac
rivor, while others gravely assert that tho
army is going into winter quarters here.
It is quite apparent that a general move
ment is not immediate.
IS THESE A MOVEMENT ON FOOT?
The sensation mongers insist upon it
there is e great movement on foot in our
army, and that the blow will soon strike,
and in a quarter nono of ns suspect. This
may be so, but if truo government is keep
ing its Becret well. There is apparently
nothing doing, and the tboory now is that
we are first to wait until wo hoar from the
naval expedition. Tho guessers are very
much bothered now-a-days.
GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS.
The Sanitary Commission have selected
several sites lor new hospitals in and
around Washington. This has been deemed
necessary in view of the increase of pa
tients,which hat been qujto rapid since the
sudden change in the weather, producing
bilious and typhoid fevers. There are now
over one thousand sick soldiers in the
present hospitals, five of whom die on an
average each day. The parents and rela
tives who come nqro find much trouble in
getting passes BcroSa the Potomac to the
hospitals where their invalid is confined.
Nothing but an oxtreme case of illness or
death will insure a pass. Gen. McClellan,
in his report .m tho Crimean war, recom
mended the adoption of the Russian system
of hospitals as excelling all others for clean
liness and comfort.
RECRUITS FOR THE RKHKL ARMY
It is understood hore that tho rebel army
has lately received several hundred recruits
lrom Maryland, There is nothing to pre
vent any numbers from going to the lower
counties, which are rotten on the secession
question, and passing across the Potomac
into V.rginia. This week a party seized a
schooner on the lower Potomac and sailed
into Virginia. Our Potomac flotilla seems
to be very Inactive.
TUE I’KNSAt'OLA
This steam frigate now lies oft' Alexan
dria, all ready to proceed to sea, but unable
to do so because of the rebel batteries on
tho Potomac. It ia greatly to be regretted
that she was not finished and out of the
Potomac oro tho erection of those batteries.
The Pensacola is the only vessel ever built
at the Pensacola navy yard, and the rebels
havo a special desire to cripple her for use
by preventing hor from getting into ser
vice on tho ocoan.
THE HAL Lis OF (JOHGRKSS.
In little more than a month the second
session of the Thiriy-seventh Congress will
convono, and tho Henalo and House have
been completely renovated preparatory
thereto. Several valuablo improvements
have been made in the Senate chambor.
lIUSINKSS AT TUE STATE DEPARTMENT.
The business of this department is very
extensive, and often involves tho labors of
tho clorks much time beyond the regular
office hours. Very fortunately, the office
seeking crowd is smaller at this department
than liie others.
The Baltimore Surfs Washington cor
respondent says that the arrival of a num
ber of Northern and Wostern Senators
givos token that the session of Congress is
at hand. These Senators are all on a
friendly footing with the President, and
represent the feeling of the Republican j
parly of their several sections in relation I
to public affairs, anil therefore, it may well
be supposed that they wiil exercise much
influence over the executive counsels at
this critical juncture. Acoordingly, wo
have a rumor that thov havo advised
against the removal of General Fremont
from his command of tho military depart
. ment of -Missouri, and it is beliovod that
on this account the order for his re
moval, if even mado out, has been bus*
pended.
Connected with this subject is the ques
tion of the expediency of tho Fremont
policy regarding tho general confiscation
of slavos owned by disloyal citizens. Upon
that, question thore is a serious difference
of-optnion among friends of the govern,
ment. That thore is a growing feeling in
favor bf directing the war against the in
stitution of slavery, thore is no doubt; but,
as yet, the President and his Cabinet re
sist it, as do all the more conservative citi
zens of the non-slaveholding States. The
quktidn Is, however, to be prominent as a
political issue in tho North, jin all their
future elections, anil especially in-the next
election for the presidency. Many sup
pose that General Fremont himselt lookß
to the succession, upon the principle
which, in virtue-of his military authority,
ha attempted to establish, and which is,
of course; capable of general application.
It would be remarkable, indeed, if this
subject should fail to claim the attention of
Congress at the coming session, when It
already engrosses tho public mind abroad,
and is the theme of discussion in all politi
cal circles in Europe.
Poor Rich Man.
The Chicago Timet gives the case of a
gentleman in that city which we presume
is only one of many Bimilar cases which
might be named. A gentleman, some
years since, by the rise of real estate, be
came noted for the increase of his wealth.
His paper ranked fair for almost any
amount, and fortune seemed to favor him:
at every turn. The pressure came, how?
ever, and found him in the act of erecting
one or moreflne blooks on prominent streets.
As the building seemod necessary, and an
equal necessity existed of obtaining funds
to finish them he resorted to the plan of
mortgaging the property for that purpose.
The buildings wore finished, and the gen
tleman’s pecuniary matters stand very
much straightened. The rents he receives
from the buildings are absorbed by inter
est, insurance and taxes. Keai estate can
not be sold for anything greater than a sac
rificing price, and the gentleman has no
other property than these buildings and his
homestead. He is worth from 160,000 to
$80,000; yet he is actually obliged to labor,,
day after day, to furnish the necessaries of
life for bis family, or starve. Who
wouldn’t be rich ?
The Naval Expedition.
One of the critical points, in the course
of the war, Bays the New York World,
has been reached: a point which probably
will tell more directly than any other upon
the question of its length. In our ‘land
operations we have been only .pitting
armies against armies oi much the same
strength, and with very checkered fortune.
Defeats have alternated with victories re
pulses with advances, and we cannot yet
say that any substantial progress hBS been
realized. We are now about to try an arm
of warfare peculiarly our- own. We are
for the first time to bring oar naval 1
strength into active play; and if it effects
what is expected of it, the *abellion will,
soon be brought to a hopeless condition.
The expedition, which, at the last advi
oes, was on the eve of leaving Hampton
Roads for the Southern coast, has been in
preparation for months, and is admirably
organized and appointed. ' It comprises,
transports and all, about eighty vessels, of
all sizes from colossal steam frigates down
Wlhe jktmlieat little gunboats; and carry,
with their fh!! crewa . OT6r thirty thousand
soldiers, a large force of engineers, me
chanics and laborers, and an immense
supply cf all thematqrijf q/iWar, every
m 4ans of attack andoccupaticfolwhich mfif
itarv art can invent or monoy supply. The
enterwriseis oneof the most formidable of
the kind the world bflJ seen, since the in
vention of gunpowder.
From "Western Missouri,
Stkacdsk, Mo., October 22 --The koon,
biting north winds and frosty nights
have admonished ua of late that we must
prepare for winter quarters. Tho ques«
lion presses, “Where and how shall we
winter ?!’ Already the poor troops stand
with chattering teeth and abject lo °*- as if
soldiering in cold weather was no holiday
affair. NeaHy one-half are on the sick
list. Many of them aro still without
blankets, others without overcoats, and we
fear many moro without comfortable un
der-clothing. The horses and mules re
quire moro food, or they run down and be
come comparatively useless.
It is generally known that Price is Btill
moving toward Arkansas. Ho has no
idea of making a stand, or giving battle,
unless he should be confronted by less than
half our army. His delay near Osceola
was merely a necessity in order to recruit
the wasted energies of his men and to get
fresh provisions, knowing well that no
considerable body of our troops could
cross the Osage without his having ample
j lime to escape if they Bhonld prove too for.
mldable. ,
If it is in tho plan of General Fremont
to follow tho enemy until he lights, he
must be awaro of the urgency of a speedy
movement. To transport provisions for
an army of 40,000 over a rough and im
poverished country is an immenao task,
and should he made as Bhort as possible. ]
Leaving tho railroad at Holla, and Syra
cuse he has 180 miles ot transit before
reaching the Arkansas line. Any delay
in the rugged north of Arkansas must be
fatal to the morale as well as the physique
of his army. The transportation oi supplies
is moreover, attended with great risk.—
The enemy must be constantly reinforced
or our force must suffer appreciably from
‘wear and tear.”

IiEBEL EXULTATIONS OVKK THE
LEKBBUKG BATTLE.
From the Regular Correspondent of the Evening
Fohu
Washington, October 27, lbol
The blander at Edward’s Ferry will no
change the plan of the fall campaign.
Everything will go on piecisely a& if i
had not occurred. It was u blunder which
cost as five or six hundred troops. That is
the extent of the calamity.
It is a singular tact, but neverthelosßS a
fact, that the defeat at Edward’s Ferry has
put'a stop to the proceedings against Fro«
mont. The fact that the iederal army in
Missouri seems to bo doing well, while
that of the Fotomac is doing nothing, or
very badly, is too great a fact to get over,
and General Fremont, for the present, is
untouched. It is quite likely that he will
not be removed at all, though the PresE
dent went bo far a few days since as to
give out that the matter was decided on.
It is now declared that he shall have time
to give Price a drubbing, and if ho Ehonld
win a groat battle he will remain.
The stories respecting the resignation of
General McClellan turned out to have
been without foundation. He has no idea
of resigning his position, nor has anybody
else an idea of taking it. The voice of tho
people favors McClellan an 4 will insist
that ho shall occupy his high position until
he is proved incompetent. The President
knows this, and further that the soldiers
have unbounded confidence in their young
General, and he will permit no change
which will either remove or disgrace Me
Clollan. The simple truth is that many of
the rumors are concocted by interested
parties on purpose to try the public pulse.
lticbmond papers have been received
here since the affair at Edward’s Ferry,
and they are, of course, full of exultation
andjuy. They claim that they have six
hundred of our troops as prisoners, and 1
am inclinod to believe, truthfully, from
what I hear from men who were in the
engagement The rebels are sp much
elated by their victory that it is not im
possble that they will attack our forces at
Eowinsville or at some othor point outside
of our earthworks. However it may bo
with the rebels, our military leaders have
no idea of an immediate movement. Una
usual caution at our advance posts is neces
sary, that tho enemy may not tako us by
surprise, but in all other respects there is
porfeot quite &U along our lines.
ASH THE ULAIRS.
Tbe Sfi Louis Republican has been pour
ing hot shot Into the Blair family, because
of thelr effofis to remove Gen. Fremont.
In last Saturday’s issue of that paper,
Frank Blair ropliea to Boine of the attacks
alluded to, from which wo quote the fol»
lowing extract:
The testimony you have borne to the
“wonderful energy’ of Major General
Fremont'in raising an army of ninety
thousand men in a few months, and in
thq same moments holding such a line
as that wliioh you describe as extending
from Cairo to Kansas City, is very hon
orable to tiie General and to you. And
when you add, that this army was or
ganized in half the time Qonepal Scott
required to raise a similar foroe, and
the line held by Fremont is muoh lon
ger than that held by Soott, it seems to
me that nothing oan be added to the
eulogy. But.it appears tome, that your
enthusiasm for General Fromont should
not induce you to do iojustioe to anoth
er. General Lyon held every post now
held by Gen. Fremont, except Padu
cah, and he held many others, including
Springfield, not now held by Gen. Fre
’mont, and never had more than fifteen
thousand men under his oomumgd. In
fact, General Lyon drove the enemy en
tirely oui of the State of Missouri and
into Arkansas, add übtil Gen.' Fremont
arrived and took command, Gen. Lyon
never met with a reverse or disaster. I
-trust that it will not be regarded as a
reflection upon Gen. Fremont to say
the truth in regard to Gen. Lyon, and
especially as under oover of an attaok
on the “Blair family,” you have defam
ed the dead Lyon by saying, that “the
Blair polioy brought us to the verge of
ruin even before Gen. Fremont oame
here.” Let me say that if I could prop
erly and honorably assume the oredit of
-the conduot of affairs in Missouri, prior
to the day upon which Gen. Fremont
arrived here, it would be my pride and
felory to do so, hut I know too well what
-ijg due to ihe feme of that brave, patri
otic and self-pacrifioing soldier, General
Lyon, to pluilie myself upon his deeds
hr seek to appropriate what belongs to
his imperishable renown, Whilethere
fore I cannot, take it in good temper,
that you should laugh at the idea of my
.jheing a Major General, and jvhen, in
deed if it were at all necessary, I could
Soint you to some examples, n<jt a great
tray off, whioh would serve to illustrate
jhow absurd and ridiculous such an ap
pointment would be; at the same time,
1 cannot permit you to say that affairs
here “ were brought to the verge of ruin
before Gen. Fremont oame here,” when
it is universally known that Lyon's ca
reer, was, up to the. time of Oort.'Fro*

FRANCE AND AMERICAN
BEbCKADE.
The statement that the Chambers of
Commerce of several manufacturing!
cities of Franoe had memorialized the
Imperial Government urging an imme
diate recognition of the independence
of the Confederate States and the rais
ing of the blockade, has been published.
The last European mail brings copied of
the London Shipping Gazette, of the
14th instant, which thus notices the
rumors: .
The Chambers of Oommoroe of Ly
ons, Rouen, aud other places in France,
have, it appears, addressed nn'inorialsto
the French government praying fur the
immediate recognition of the Confeder
ate States and the raising of the block
ade. So far, then, it would seem the
course pursued by the Confederates
with regard to tbcir cotton is producing
the desired effect. The most sagacious
politicians in Europe, and indeed in
America, are beginning now to reghrd
the reconstruction of the Union as! all
but hopeless, and to look forward tothe
establishment of two, if not more, con
federations on the North American con
tinent. It is under these circumstoiices
that an appeal is made by the suffering
manufacturers of Franoe to their gov
ernment to recognize the Southern States
as an independent eofederation, and to
raise the blockade. We know not what
view France may take of the prayer of
these memorialists, but weshould imag
ine that France will take no step iu this
American business except in connection
with England. The question, then, is
—would her Majesty’s government con
sider themselves justifiable in going to
| war with the Federal government (for
| that is the meaning of England’s rais
ing the blockade,) in order to liberate
the ootton, and to avert the state of
things with which we are threatened in
the approaching winter and spring ?
i The alternative of war, or distress and
disturbance in the manufacturing dis
tricts, is not an agreeable one, hut we
fear it is one which is being rapidly
forced on the consideration of the. gov
| ernment. It might be, however, that
the co-operation of France and England,
; even if carried the length of raising
the blockade, would not result in hostil
ities. The small fleet at the disposal of
the Federal government would not be
able for a single week to cope with the
combined foroes of England and France.
The contest would be so obviously hope
less that it is doubtful whether it would
be entered upon by the Northern States.
There might be danger to ns on the
side of Canada, but, after all, the Cana
dians themselves would hardly'submit
to forcible annexation by the Federal
foreps, Meanwhile the recognition of
the Confederate States by France and
England would carry with it an amount
of weight and moral influence which
would set up the Southern Confederacy
conclusively. 11 seems likely, then, that
if the raising of the blockade be seriously
contemplated, it must be by a union of
the French and English forces, and iwitlr
the resolve of the two governments W
stand by eaoh other ip.anyintepygntion
in the affairs of ihe American States.

The official reports from oar fleet off New
Orleans, thou?k thqy disprove (he boastful,
dispatches of HoUiDS, &re not oLaehar*
sever to reflect credit upon the officers in
command of our vessels. They seem, by
their own confusion, to have
certed by the attack, and to have; fairly
turned (ail and ran away, when, as was
subsequently ascertained, a little plqck on
their part wpi*M have destroyed the rebel 1
fleet. In the panic a fuse was applied to
the magazine; of the Ymaonne* an<J the
vessel deserted. Fortunately it di£ botj
barn, and after the panic was over the ves*
sel was recovered. Had not the
been so cowardly themselves they might
have eeoured a valuable vessel, with no
risk to themselves. These are unpleasant
facts to dfsplggg,»but .they cannot bo pver-_
looked. YfSmust see to it that out offi-"
cers are. held'to a rigid accountability
for all tfiey do, as well as for all they fail
to do. > • ,
