WRONG DATE
/ wrong date appears in the article,
"Competisation Emancipation-Proclama
tion," tin our outside, at the head. It
should read March 10th, 1802.
THE RESIDENT AND THE
RADICALS.
If -Pretedent Lincoln were a willing in
etrameitlin the hands of the Radicals, we
would deispair of the repttblic ; but our im
pressiorOwas, and is, that his intentions
are good,! and that every unconstitutional
and impolitic act which he has committed
has beeii wrung from him by Abolition '
presaure, We all know the emphatic
avowal of the President, at the beginning
of his atilinistration, that he had no power
nor dispiteition to interfere with the local
institutions of the Southern States. He has
repeatedibie, since his inauguration, upon
several iPecasions ; and had his prosecu
tion of zostilitiee against the rebels been
inecesshil, he would, we believe, have
lived ni:4o his declarations. His failure,
howevei to subdue the rebellion, gave the
Radicals pretests for changing his pro
granameit and we hardly can see how he
could rapist their pressure without resign
ing his office. These Radicals proved to
the Predent that his campaign against
the rebels was a failure, and threatened
that unless he changed his policy and ac
tespted theirs he could have no more
soney riUr volunteers. He was thus com
pelled to issue a proclamation of emanci
pation, land one suspending the habeas
serpsts, pr, as we have said, resign bis office
into the hands of that fierce Abolitionist,
YieePre t ttident Hamlin.
Some, months since, the New York
Times contained a significant article upon
the sheitcomings of the Administration,
from which we select the following para
graph :
"Wewill simply remark that the Presi•
dent runs no small risk of being super
traded fri his office if he undertaken to
thwart the clear and manifest determina
tion of the people to maintain the author
ity of ;the Government of the United
States and to protect its honor. We are
in the frnidst of a revolution, and in such
emergencies the people are very apt to
find cone representative leader, if the
Aral of law de not happen 0 give them
ans.'
This !',representative leader was, doubt
len, Premont, whom the Abolitionists
have infreserve to lead any desperate and
revolutionary enterprise which the die
treetedpeondition of the country may give
rise to.l, Since that "paragraph was pub
lished . the nines again returned to the
same subject, and said t
"An i imbecile athninietration has given
ledisposble proof of its incapacity to con
duet a great war. Even tta &WO frtencle
are ormatrained to confess its impotence,
and are meditating its displacement by
sierra Constitutional and revolutionary
methods tending to hopeless divisions in
the North and general anarchy."
Wa have selected this paragraph from a
leading Mepublioan paper, preparatory to
directing the reader's attention to a publi
cation in to-day's Post, giving the sub
stance of a conversation which occurred
betweenfpresident Lincoln and the Border
State Congressmen, last winter. This cor
respondence preceded the correspondence
which took place between these parties
upon compensated emancipation ; it was
of a privnta nature, and discloses the feel
ing thenientertained by the Preeident to
wards the radicals. He informed the gen
tlemen sitting around him that he could
not then quarrel with the Greeley faction ;
that the time for that "had`nt arrived-"
He found since that he had to quarrel with
them or give way to their "pressure," and
the force , of circumstances compelled him
to yield He resisted them, we believe,
se long 4 he could ; the only thing he has
not given way to is the persistent demand
tar the removal of McClellan.
The President, as we believe, having
been bullied or worried into the eommis.
lion of,iets which have - produced the
most wonderful political revolution on re
cord, what' re we now to expect from him?
The recent elections have utterly and
overwheliningly repudiated the partizan
legislation of last winter ; and have pro.
elaimed,trumpet tongued, utter condemns,
tion of his ate proclamations. These ex
pressione tsi the popular will must show
the President that he was right in resisting
the radicals and wrong when he gave way
to their exactions. He will, consequent
ly, return'tis his first convictions of duty,
recall his !emancipation edict, which is
merely aninvitation te negro insurrection
end servile war; recall his suspension of
the writ cif eibeas Corpus; permit free
speech mill& free press; turn out those
of his Ctibinet who are not entirely
for theirl'
i i:irtntry . and not wholly for

proseeMie hostilities for the Constitn
fion and this Union, as the fathers of both
adopted them; and he will be supported,
at least, b the hundreds of thousands
who have .
at the ballot box, con
demned hip surrender to Abolitionism.
The people, have come to the President's
rescue; th 4 have removed the pressure
tinder which he vras groaning; they have

radical oppression, leaving him only to
oast off hit t shackles and become a free

NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY
“Was not that Thunder ?”
The result of the elections in New York
and New Jersey is as Startling as the
thunder which affected the delicate sensi
bilities of the foundling Of Argos. The
Democrats and conservatiires have carried
both by decisive majorities. In the first,
Seymour is elected Go+rnor by from
fifteen to twenty thousand, majority; six
teen or eighteen of her thirty-one Con
gressmen are of the same party. In New
Jersey the sweep has been terrible for
'Abolitionism. We have ken thousand of
a popular majority and four out of the
five Congressmen which compose the del
egation from that State.
For this wonderful revolution in the
Empire State, the country is indebted very
much to Mr. Seymour, the Governer elect.
His speeches were astonishing produc
tions, and could not fail to produce con
viction upon every mind not rendered im
penetrable by fanaticism. The eloquence
of O'Gorman, too, had its effect in arous
ing the people to a sense of their danger,
while the humor, wit and irony of John
Van Buren served to :apse the canvass to
glide on pleasantly. The World newspa
per, too, did its full share in the contest;
it has, during the past few months, been
edited with extraordinary power anti cour
age, and is, at the present time the ablest
journal in New York. ;
The result of this election in the Empire
State will not be either pleasing or profit
able to "old man DickiUson." That pa-
triot jeined the Abolitionists upon a
promise of being elected to the Vnited
States Senate. .He can't reach that impor
tant arena thiough the assistance of the
Legislature elect. Renegades like Dick•
inson and Forney always damage the cause
they advocate; both of them were the
meanest tools the slaveholders had in the
North ; now they are the noisiest and
fussiest Abolitionists in Pennsylvania and
New York.
For the Morning Port
Criticism of Gen. McClellan
The`•Gazette of yesterday morning con
tains a communication, over the signature
of Censor, complaining of the ejection of
a clerical detractor of General McClellan
from the 62d Pennsylvania Regiment, by
the Colonel, and making t the occasion of
further denunciation of that General.
The chief characteristic of the article is
its blind malignity, whichlis so great as to
deny the possession of common sense to
any one who believes Cren. McClellan to
have any merit at all. Were not hostility
to Gen. McClellan already too powerful
with the administration, his friends and
the lovers of their country, in general.
might treat such effusion's as the ravings
of a madman that excite only pity tor
their author, but persistent misrepresenta
tion and detraction have already caused
much injustice to Gen. McClellan and in
jury to the country, and justice and patri
otism demand that such malignity should
be rebuked.
Who object to criticism? Did not the
same men who now denoua3e McClellan
pour out their wrath on Frank P. Blair
and others, for finding fault with Fre
mont's administration, and asking for an
investigation of it? Do they not now bit
terly assail every one that disapproves
President Lincoln's proclamation, Secre
tary Chase's financial schemes, or Secre
tary Stanton's disorganizing army orders,
arbitrary arrests of citizens, or summary
dismissals of army officers, and shield the
Administration under the miserable plea
that it is the Government, apd to assail it
is disloyal? . .
Gen. McClellan's friends do not object
to criticism; on the contrary, they court
It is senseless, maligntint vitupetation
that they oppose. Their language is,
"Come and let us reasoU together," and
they are perfectly willing' that "Censor,"
or any other man, shall review McClel
lan's course from the beginning, and"show,
if he can, that McClellan i is incompetent,
or unfaithful, or in any ,way responsible
for the failure of the government to sup
press the rebellion.
Can the Radicals not see that as their
ascendency increases in the Republican
party, the party itself melts away ? Let
them be assured that when opposition to
their policy ceases in that.party its sceptre
will have departed.

Froth Monday Night's Washington Etal.
THE WAR IN VIRGINIA.
The Situation.
Last night the advance : of the army of
the Potomac, under Burnside, Fitz John
Porter, and others, doubtless bivouacked
upon the line of the Alexandria and Win•
cheater turnpike, from Upperville (three
miles in front or below Aahby's Gap)
down to Middleburg, a !distance cf ten
Their cavalry must have fialted for the
night very near if not upon the line of the
Manassas Gap Railroad,' somewhere be
tween Front Royal and Thoroughfare
Gap.
The force of General Sigel, which took
up the line of march at an early hour yes
terday, must have advancd upon the line
of the same railroad to Thoroughfare Gap
ere nightfall, if not beyond that point ;
while another admirable .division of the
army, immediately in front of Washing
ton, under General Sickles at the same
time was doubtlessadvanced in the rear of
Sigel, so as at nightfall to be within sup
porting distance of him. Such, we judge,
from our knowledge of the country, roads,
&c., to have necessarily been the move
ments on the chess-board "eat of the Blue
Ridge yesterday.
We stated on Friday that the rebels were
hurrying on the day before from Berry
ville, in two directions—by the Front Roy
al and - Shenandale roads.) These move
ments satisfy us that theiF anxiety then
was simply to protect their right flank and
rear.
The cavalry fight
~s t i• yet.—
tioned elsewhere - in toidaY's Star, could
not have been an affair of importance ;
though it may have been a prolonged skir•
mish. Pleasanton was simply driving in
the rebel pickets along the base of the
ridge; skirmishing with them wherever he
found them, perhaps nearly' all day.
Unless igel's corps was attacked in
.force by daybreak this morning,we believe
that the enemy will retre, down the val
ley without a fight, it they can accomplish
that feat. As, after daylight to day, Si
_gel's corps can hardly be attacked without
havingwithin reach ample supports to hold
perhaps the whole of Lee's army well in
check until it is brought under fire of the
main army of the Potomac.
Turning the Enemy's Flanks.
Up to 2.80 p. m. to-day, we have not
been able to learn that the enemy had ap
peared in front of Sigel's command in any
force. We would have lehrned the fact
had the enemy ventured an attack on our
forces in that quarter this morning. We
think it now clear that Lee's think has been
Earned.
The Potomai Vienne.
• Di a short time thePotomae fleet will be
ell/forged by &number of vieeels, end the
facilities the rebels have now for crossing
the river will not be so plentiful, as each
point will be carefully watched. At pres
ent there are four mortar schooners be
ing repaired, prior to their taking their
stations on the river.
The Monitor is receiving her finishing
touches and will probably be ready for tier
-.
vice this week.
On Saturday night the Freeborn captured
a boat containing six negroes, near Aquia
creek, on their way to the Maryland shore,
where they stated they were tl obtain sup
plies. They were sent up to the yard this
morning. A refugee from Virginia was
also sent. tip.
THE WAR IN TEXAS
Additional Details of the Cap
ture of Galveston.
The Galveston Union of the 10th ult
contains the particulars of the surrender
of that city. It. states that four Federal
steamers arrived and took position at the
foo, of the principal streets, the Harriet
Lane commanding the street leading to
the custom house. The acting mayor, Mr.
Moore, soon after had an interview with
Commander Renshaw, of which the Union
gives the following account:
Commander Renshaw stated that he had
come for the purpose of taking possession
of the city; that the city was at his mercy
under his guns ; that he should not inter
fere in the municipal affairs of the city;
that the citizens might go on and conduct
their business as heretofore; that. he did
not intend to occupy the city for the pres
ent and until the arrival of a .military
,
commander, but that he intended to hoist
the United States flag upon the public
buildings, and that his flag should be re
spected.
Whereupon the mayor pro tem. answer
ed that the military and mayor and city
council having left the city, he could not
guarantee to him the protection of the flag;
that he would do everything in his power,
but that persons over whom he had no
?control might take down the flag and cre
ate a difficulty.
Commander Renshaw replied that, al
though in his previous communications
with the military commander he had in•
siated that the flag should be protected by
the city, still he thought it would be over•
ous upon the good citizens, and, to avoid
any difficulty like that which occurred in
New Orleans, he would waive that point,
and when he sent the flag ashore he would
send a sufficient force to protect it, and
that he would not keep the flag flying for
more than a quarter or halt' an hour—
sufficient to show the absolute posses.
sion.
Commander Renshaw further said that
he would insist upon the right for any of
his men in charge of an officer to come, on
shore and walk the streets of the city, but
that he would not permit his men to come
on shore indiscriminately or in the night;
that, should his men insult citizens, he
gave the mayor the right to arrest and re
port them to him, when he would punish
them more rigidly than we. possibly could;
but, on the other hand, should any of his
men be insulted or shot at in the streets of
Galveston, or any of his ships or boats be
shot at from the land or wharves, he would
hold the city responsible and open his
broadsides on the same instantly ; that his
guns were kept shotted and double shot
ted for that purpose ; that it was the de
termination of his government to hold
Galveston at all hazards until the end of
the war, and that we could not take the
port from him without a navy.
Shortly after the return of the acting
mayor and party, a detachment of about
150 marines and sailors was sent ashore
from the fleet, which lauded at Kuhn's
wharf, and proceeded silently to the cus
tom house, on which, without any inter
ference or demonstration by the bystand•
ere, they raised the United States flag.
After half an hour, at three P. M., the
flag was quietly taken down, and the de
tachment marched back through the same
streets to their bunts, awl returned to the
Later from Central and South
America.
By the arrival of the steamer Ocean
Queen, at New York, from Aspinwall,
interesting news from the ruited States
of Colombia, and Central and South
America, is received. Ftill confirmation
of the news of the triumph or Moequera
and the reactionists had reached Panama.
In Panama the difficulties between Church
and State, growing out of the Mosquera
Mortmain decree, had been temporarily
settled, and the churches had been re
opened. The attempt at fusion in the five
States of Central America had tailed, and
there was a prospect that active hostilities
would soon break out among them. The
Nicaragua Transit Company apprehended
trouble in the conveyance of passengers
across that country. A conspiracy to
overthrow the government in Ecuador
had been discovered and frustrated.
Iv is said that a careful calculation shows
that in many, if not most, of the agricul.
tural districts, the tax levied by the Fed
eral government will not pay the cost of
collecting. Thus the law only operates to
keep in pay a ho-de of collectors, and is'a
provision for an electioneering army of
party hacks. By its indirect operation, the
taxes fall heavily upon these same districts.
The articles of purchase are doubled, the
markets' of sale diminished, and the value
of their returns depreciated. We must
have a solid tax to. sustain public credit
and national existence; but these great
errors and inequalities in the present sys
tem that must be amended as experience
developes them.
A recent balloon ascension was made
in England to more than six miles from
the earth, when the two men lost the use
of their limbs; one of them became abso•
lately insensible and the other had only
power to pull the stringopening the valves
with his teeth, thus allowing the .gas to
escape and the balloon to descend. They
declared that five miles from the earth is
the limit of hnman existence, and no at
tempt should be made to pass that bound.

Novel Way to Cure a Breaohy
A Correspondent of the lowa Home
stead was riding out the other day with a
friend, and observed that one of the
horses' had a hole in each ear. On en-
quiring the cause, he learned that it was
to keep the horse from jumping. "Why,"
said he 'a horse don't jump witlihis ears."
"You are mistaken," replied hie friend to
him; "a horse jumpsas much with his ears
as with his feet, and unless he has free
use of his ears he cannot jump." He
ties his two ears together, and has no
trouble with the horse.

Governor Stanley's Flag of Truce
to Governor Vance.
We published yesterday, says the New
Herald, of a recent date, the interesting
intelligence that Gov. Stanley, Military
Governor of North Carolina, under a flag
of truce, had sent a communication to
Gov. Vance, "proposing an interview,
without any ceremony or raising any c l ues.
of dignity or rank, upon the present state
of public affairs and the aspect of the war
at this time." By a late dispatch from
Newbern we are now informed that the
flag of truce had returned, with the an
swer from Gov. Vance that he cannot act
upon the proposition aforesaid as desired,
bat will submit Gov. Stanley's communi
cation to the Confederate government at
Richmond for its 'ration.

Monday, Nov. 4, 1862-10 p. m.
Last night it was uncertain whether the

made to force it, if necessary, but the re

views of the Shenandoah Valley was had,
but no large body of the enemy was to be
seen. Wine Vaster was plainly visible.
