PURPOSES OF THE WAR.
The National Platform
CONGRESS, TV. A VOTE NEARLY uNANTI NOUS
PASSED THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION, WHICH
EXPRESSES THE VOICE OF' TEIENATION, AND I
THE TRUE STANDARD OF LOYALTY:
"That the present deplorable civil war
has been toned upon the country by the
disunionists of the Southern States, now
in arms against the Constitutional govern
ment, and in arms around the Capital ;
that in this national emergency, Congress,
banishing' all feeling of mere passion or
resentment, will recollect only It 9 duly to
the whole country ; that this ,car is not
waged on their part in any'spirit of oppres
sion, or for any purpose of conquest or sub
jugation, or purpose of overthrowing or
interfering with the righls and established
institutions of those States, but to de fend
and maintain the supremacy of the Consti
tution, and to preserve the Union, with all
the dignity, equality and rights of the several
Slates unimpaired ; and that as soon as
these objects are accomplished the war °ugh.
to cease" - ,
In addition to this almost unanimous
expression of the last Congress, we have
since had numerous indications that our
government still adheres to doctrine it
proclaims. In pursuance of this policy
Geineral Dix, commanding at Baltimore,
la s t week, sent an expedition against the
rebels in Northampton and Accomac
counties, Virginia. Ile issued a procla
mation similar in sentiment to the reso
lution above quoted, the effect of which
was to rally to his standard thousands
of Union men in the two counties allud
ed to, who had been kepi down by their
rebellious neighbors. The consequence
is that the Stars and Stripes :ire new
floating in triumph over that entire sec
tion of Virginia.
The Pittsburgh Gazelle. yesterday, in
noticing this proclamation of i;eueral
Dix, surpasses even rebel bluster in its
condemnation of it. ' That, paper says:
"Already we hear the mutterings of the
pent up storm which will break forth in all
its fury. if this disgraceful and most ',yak
and contemptible policy, is to be persisted
in."
Now, we have no desire to be personal,
but it is rather difficult to read such
sentiments with patience. While the
government is lookiog out for rebels,
can it not pay some little attention to
these abolition fanatics, who are sowing
the seeds of sedition in the Northern
mind. What do theso fanatics desire?
The government is doing its best to crush
out treason, but instead of giving it a
helping hand, we have these domestic
traitors openly opposing its policy. The
approaching session of Congress should
pay some attention to this class of
incendiaries, by the enactment of a law
to suppress their publications. Every
one of them who is caught creating dis
content among the people with their
government should be sent to join those
secessionists who are now paying the
penalty of their treason. These aboli
tionists have no more right to thwart
the government's policy in the prosecu
tion of this war than secessionists had
to object to its commencement. They
are alike culpable, and should receive
the same punishment.
GEN. PATTERSON
On Saturday last, in Philadelphia, the
members of the City Troop met in com
memoration of the formation of the
company in 1774. In response to a toast
complimentary of General Patterson,
that gentleman responded, and gave an
"inside history" of his late command,
up to the battle of Manassas Junction,
General Patterson makes out a clear
case, showing that he obeyed orders
strictly in every movement he made. t 1 e
produced the documents, day and date,
relating to time, place and circumstan
ces, and establishes beyond any possi
bility of cavil, that he has been, as we
said upon a former occasion, the best
abused man we have known since the
war began. The reason given by Gen.
Patterson for not making his defense at
an earlier day is worthy of the highest
praise ; but now that Gen. Scott is no
longer in the service, it can do no harm.
The World, noticing this matter, re
marks;
"When thus loft free by tho ?hang° of
the chief command of our armies, self
defense was his right. Similar reasons to
those which kept Gun. Patterson silent so
long enjoin silence upon the journalist now
—justice being done . to Gen. Patterson by
giving him' the hearing which he claims.
Nothing can bwgained by lookiig emit .41.3.
ly to see where the responsibility removed
froin his shoulder's at last falls: If old ege
had benumbed faculties whose yOuthful and
whose manly vigor were all faithfully spent
in the service of the - country, or if trait,: r
ons and unsuspected subordinates near the
person of an old man, bedeviled his work,
let it pass: History will have nothing to
erase in her finished record of his services
and his honors; and Patterson, too, may
be sure of her applause for waiting till the
good cause could not suffer harm ere
proving that America has had no
Grouchy."
bar Maj. Gen. Butler, says the Boston
Traveler, occupied a front seat at the
Howard Athenreuin on Friday evening,
on the occasion of Barney ben
efit. His presence, though not unknown,
was not recognized until after the close ci
the 'second - piebe'upon 'the bill, when three
cheers were loudly called for from the
gallery for General Butler. The entire
audience arose, and the response was gen
erotke`quid enthusiastic. 'General Butler
towed several times to the house in ac
knowledgment of the recognition, while
,the orchestra played "Yankee Doodle" end
`ffiall to the Chief."

Our Army Correspondence
CANIE FARRUNI,

November 16, 1861.
EDITOS POST:—AB you perceive / WC are
working our way into close quarters with
the enemy. We loft Camp Dwight on
Thursday morning last, and after march
ing over a miserable road, a distance of
thirteen miles, arrived at our present abode
and are comfortably iltuated, awaiting
farther events. Quite a serious:affray oc-
curred during our march, which may prove
a fatal one to some of the participants.—
NV her. within a short distance of our pros
cut. camp, Capt. Price, of comp 'ny 1.), was
ordered to take a guard and 'all in the
rear, to collect any stragglers who may
have fallen out during the march. lie bad
proceeded but a short distance, when his
attention was attracted to a neighboring
house, by the continuous uproar kept with•
in. He immediately proceeded thither, and
upon entering, found several members of
our regiment, who wore intoxicated, be,
laving in a shocking manner ; intimidato
ing the occupants and perpetrating raker
deeds unbecoming one who has the spark of
a gentleman about him. Capt. Price, after
ascertaining the facts, ordered his guard to
arrest them, but not without great opposi
tion on their part. The Captem.then drew
forth his revolver and discharged' it at the
n mineers, who immediately returned it
with a volley ; the guard hero opened tire
vrtd revere . ' shuts were exchanged, seriously
wounding three of the mutrnecis. TOOB.
company K, received a shot in the
arm and gro , ns ; F. Cain, company A,
wounded in the shoulder, and through the

e,caped me, slightly wounded in the shoul

i•ital and being properly cared for. Their
eaunt martial comes off to morrow, and
the chances are lair for them to again smell
)uwder. Lieut. Col, Farnum wee intent

on having them shot early next morning,
Lul, through Gen. Hooker, they have been
granted tao bk., n of a fair arid impartial
trial. This is the first action in any way
derogatory to tho:good character previous
:y borne by our regiment; and the fate of
the actors will possibly be a fearful, but
impressive lesson, and a benefit to the
regiment.
We were compelled to leave ten or twelve
s;ek (serious cases) at Camp Dwight, and
witch a day or two the sad intellionce
uas bcon conveyed to us of the death of six,
our of iihotn had the typhoid fever Two
brothers, Wm. and Peter Monks, were the

Ir , m Lice vicinity of of Now York,
acd their rcl•itivis were duly informed
with regard to their death. The bodies
were, with the usual ceremonies, tern porn
ly interred upon the plantation of our
inrr encampment.
Saturday and Sunday last, we were in
iormed that the Commissary's Department
were minus hard crackers, which we have
ben living on for sonic time. We were
compelled to resort to other means for a
olihood : and what few hoe cakes the
neigcbortimul could aff.ird, wore brought
,ri to requisition and quickly dispensed with;
' about the time matters commenced to
, oeuine a serious turn, several wagons nr
rived freihted with the staff of life, and
ail apprehensions for the present are re•
lieved.
Yesterday our attention was attracted
the direettun of the river, at Q lan Li
creek batteries, where undoubtedly an ac
ton was taking place, which was in fact
the case. Three of our sloops took a saucy
notion into their heads to run the block
ade, and under the above intention, were
quietly proceeding up the river, when op.
ptsite the batteries, the rebels opened fire
upon them at first with two guns, al d af
ter failing fn this effort, b ought to bear
several guns of larger calibre. Seventy or
”ighty shells were discharged, but the rusts
j city - 1 Ii short—several passed completely
over and fell in a corn field on the bans,
exploding, and scattering the earth in ev
ery direction. The little vessels passed up
safely and carried along the Stars and
Stripes in triumph, much to the dirision of
the half clad rebels on the opposite shore.
It was a daring deed and shows of what
material we Yankees are made of. The
scene was an exciting one and aroused our
feelings to the highest pitch —but we must
hide our time, for we will have a punch at
them )et and that before long, I hope.—
One of our boys brought home with him
from the scene of action, a fragment of ono
f the shells thrown over. It weighs about
lise pounds and was part of a conical shell,
probably thrown by a rifled cannon. They
often amuse themselves by throwing shells
into our encampments, or at any group of
our men or pickets who may come under
their observation; but they have thus far
failed to do any material mischief.
In our vicinity are encamped the 20th
Pennsylvania, two New Hampshire, and
one Vermont regiments, besides our own
Brigade (Sickles') of five regiments. The
New Jersey Brigade, and others, are on
the way, and in a short space of ti us we
shall have a force of 50,000 or 00,000 men
in this immed , ate vicinity—what think
)ou of this ? lam of the opinion that it
savors strongly of an attempt to cross over,
or else an expedition equally as important.
However, I shall acquaint you with any
movements we may finally make.
The members of the regiment—both offi
cers and privates—are now busily engaged
in erecting, az rather digging, winter
q carters. In our endeavors to keep warm,
we make an excavation three feet deep by
13' g t feet Square, and after flooring it,
erecting a stove, &c.,
the canvass is placed
over it, and all the ground around the
edges completely packed, trenches made,
and the habitation is complete. Captain
Brunn has his already finished, and by a
N isit paid by your correspondent, be is able
to testify in regard to its coziness—and
that they answer all the purposes for which
they were intended.

Regulations, as an indication of its where.
abouts on the field and will prevent any
such catastrophe as that at Bull Bun; i. e.,
the tiring into the Hospital, and putting in
jeopardy the lives of the sick and wounded.
Company C, while on picket on the river
tank, picked up a bottle from the water,
purporting to have come from the rebel
regiments opposite, containing three letters
from the Texas Ist, 3d and sth regiments;
naming us arrant cowards, inviting us to
another Bull Bun battle, ,ke., dsc ; using
all kinds of ungentlemanly language, and
Tully stocked with all the slang phrases of
the day, and was a fair sample of their
chivalry. It is common for our and their
pickets to exchange salutations, and some
times they are not of the most becoming
style. They d) not appear to entertain a
very exalted opinion of Gen. Sickles, and
take every opportunity to scandalize him
by calling across the water, to oar guards,
their filthy talk,
Our artillery is not of the most services,
ble nature; but several 10 inch mortars are
daily expected from Washington, when
we shall throw a torpedo or two at them
just for fun.

North, arrived in this city, and were
entertained at the Refreshment Saloons,
at the foot of Washington street. The
New York Sixty-ninth, which took so
heroic a part in the battle at Bull Run,
reached the city about daylight. They
were treated to a good breakfast at the
Refreshment Saloons, and after a say of
about three hours in town, again lett
the city. A large number of the men
in the ranks were participant , in the

seat of war full of a determination to
wipe out the disgrace inflicted on
the arms of the country at that time,
and to put the rebels out of ooneeit with

was one man in the whole traitorous

Troubles on the (thio River
The Gallipolis (0 ) .1) /spat, h of the
loth inst., after noticing the capture
of Guyandotte and Sedara by the Vice
ginia confederates, which towns lie un
tha Ohio river, says :
"These troubles now on our borders,
are no worse than we have anticipated,
and published weeks since, while other
papers were urging the withdrawal of
troops from Western Virginia, that we
considered this section in greater dan
ger tban it had ever been, and we now
ay that unless a military force is kept
upon tle river to meet any probable
force the enemy may bring, we shall
meet with the same fate as Guyans

The children are both boys, one be
ing about ten and the other twelve years
of age. They resided with their grand
mother, in North Carolina, subsequent
to the death of their mother, until she
died, when they came North, where
they still remain. Judge Douglas' first
wife's name was Martin, and she was
the daughter of a wealthy North Caroli
na gentleman, who, when he died, will
ed half his estate to his wife, and the
balance to his two grandchildren.
When Mrs. Martin died; she left the
remaining portion to them. The Judge
has no control over it, except to excl..
else such parental care as would be con
sistent under the circumstances. Ex_
Governor Reid, of North Carolina, be•
ing one of the guardians of these chill
dren, employed Mr. Endey, who is a
British subject, to come North and
bring the boys to North Carolina, as
otherwise the estate would be confisca
ted according to the fiat of Jeff. Davis.
The estate consists of slaves, plantation
and city property to the amount of
about half a million of dollars. A be
lief is expressed that the boys will re
fuse to gu back at present, even should
they be allowed to do so by the Govern
ment.
