MOND: Y MORNING, NOV. 17
HON. gORATIO SEYMOUR.
The mot.' unscrupulous of the abolition
press are !fow engaged in alarming their
readers ,4 the belief that much harm is
to be app`rtihended to the country from the
election !:ir Mr. Seymour to the chief
magistrady of the State of New York. In
order torps . pel all such apprehensions,
those b whii retend to believe them should
read Mr.lBeymour's late speech, made to
his immediate neighbors—an extract of
which willibe found in another part of to
day's pa'i.tr. It is the production of a
thoughtftill; statesman, addressed to the
hearts at 4 intelligence, not the passions
and prejudices of his hearers.
The di4alty with the abolitionists, just
now, is t4t the man who dissents, in the
least, froin!their programme. for the sup
pression a the rebellion, is necessarily in
sympathililwith the rebels themseh es.
They can' bee nothing but a war of in -
definite dictation , and of the most bloody
consequeices. They dictate, as ' they
choose, tcolthose in power; but if our side
says a word in the way of remonstrance,
we are atliimce threatened with arrests and
imprisoznent. This is the spirit of fa
naticitm,"claiming unlimited license for
itself and denying even toleration to those
who differijfrom them. Take the Gazette
of this city, and observe the blind fanati
cism it exhibits It quotes opinions
which Daniel Webster would applaud,
were he living, and with the zeal of a bigot
calls for the arrest of those who avow
them. If ;the concentration of power,
which thefgazette advocates, takes place
by the .general government, our system
is at once a total failure and a farce
If the States are to be deprived of the
power to protect their own citizens, and
idly look on and tolerate the insolence and
oppression; of midnight arbitrary arrests,
by irresponsible parties, we might as well
establish an absolute despotism at once.
Two of tq most splendid demonstrations
that ever loczurred in this country were
those of die Govornors of Maryland and
New Jersei, a short time since, in demand
ing justice'from the representatives of the
Federal government, for outrages com
mitted by ' them against two of their citi
zens. Git , e these officers unlimited power
and they
,will use it as they feel inclined.
Let the State authorities, therefore, instead
0
of giving power to the general government,
<
be jealon4, l
ofits encroachments. Gov.
• Brown, of` Georgia, has, for eighteen
months, been disputing powers assumed
by Davis!i!government, and shall we be
less vigiltiiit in guarding against centraliz
• .. ..r ~- .....i. -we. 1e,,...t. not. Had
France tioen a -- c.onfadaratte...e,f lacoov.,
like ours, apoleon could not have usurp
ed her peiver in a single night; and as
long Eta 044 commonwealths exercise their
. rightful jOisdiction over their respective
people, rioladventurer will be able to usurp
• our liberties. It is true that a bad man at
the head l'?" our affairs might, if backed by
an army, 'proclaim himself dictator, but
unless he ?reviously crushed out all in
dependence in the respective States, his
usurpationl would be of short duration.
Let the States render to the general gov-
ernment 4edience and assistance; but
let them sternly resist any attempt to in
vade their; reserved and constitutional
rights., this is the lesson taught by
Horatio and it is the true one,
, Seymour ,

THAT NATIONAL CONITEN
TION.
The National Convention called to as
semble in!il:tia city on the 26th inst., to
which we ;have heretofore alluded, is to
be abandoqied, because, as the Gazette
of Saturdiji informs us, there is now no
necessity far such convocation. The
powerfulresson given why there is no
necessity fetf. the Convention, is because
McClellan hi'as been relieved of the com
mand of this!;Army of the Potomac.
Now, whit all due deference to the sa
gacity of on neighbor, we can not see
what the litis commander had to do with
the Convention. The call for that gath
ering was to "protect civil and religious
liberty throhhout the New World," and
we think these inestimable privileges are
now in as teat danger (and no less,) as
when the call was issued. We, therefore,
think that tie Convention ought to be
held, if for 'nothing else than the fun of
the thing; 4 would be rare indeed to see
some of the signers of the call, putting
themselves
,f,orward as the champions of
civil and religions liberty. We insist on
4'
the gatheri being held.
Gen MeCLmLLAN AT TRENTON
The demOhstralion in honor of Gen.
McClellan oo Thursday evening last was a
tremendous iine. Hi reply to an eloquent
welcome, htil: spoke the following few but
eloquent and,: significant sentences :
MY FRIENIiS-For I feel that you are all
my friends--1 stand before you, not as a
maker of sp4eches, not as a politician, but
as a soldier, I came among von to seek
quiet and repose, and from the moment of
my arrival have received nothing but
kindness. Although I appear before you
as a strap*, I am not. I am not al
together unacquainted with your history.
Your galled soldiers were with me in
every battle, :from the siege of Yorktown
to the battle et Antietam, and here I bear
wimess to their devotion to the cause for
which we are; fighting. (Here the uproar
compelled the General to cease for a few
moments.) I: also have to speak of the
ever faithfulever true Taylor, the dash
ing, intrepid 4 Kearney—men who have
given their fifes for the maintainence of
our gorrnme*t. And before bidding you
'pod night, ILitave this piece of advice to
give you—^TrWile the army is fighting, you,
as citezens, sett that the war is prosecuted
for the presentation of the Union and the
Constitution, l' or your nationality and
your rights aslcitizena.

GENERAL ILDOVVELL
Gen. McDowell has been denieda Court
at Inquiry and will probably be assigned
duty at some out of the way post. Why
has he been denied a trial 7—a fair, open in
vestigation such as he demanded, where
the press and the public might be witness
es. His conduct in the field was of the
most extraordinary character, accused by
brother officers and men of cowardice
and treachery in the face of the enemy.
Why is he not tried or removed? There
comes to us an intimation that he will
never be tried; that certain members of
the cabinet cannot afford the expo
sure Gen. M.'Dowell would be obliged
to make in justification of his conduct.—
Can it be possible that he was used by the
cabinet to thwart and crash McClel
lan, and that he wears about his person
the evidence of the fact.. His present po
sition would go far to prove this.
Army Correspondence.
HEADQUARTERS 62D REC'T, P. V.,
CAMP NEAR SNICKER'S GAP, VA.,
November 3d, 1862
MR EDITOR :—Sitting on a cracker box,
before a camp fire, with the wind bloWing
the smoke in all directions, and the lid of
another on my knees for a table, I will
try to give you an idea of our movements
since my last letter, which was mailed to
you on the 28th ult.
On Thursday, the 30th ult., about noon,
in our camp near Sharpsburg, an order
came to pack up, strike tents, and be ready
to move in one hcur. The uninitiated in
army movements were, of course, all flur
ried and excited, or, as an Irishman would
say, "put all through other," while the
old soldiers took things quite coolly, and
did not allow themselves to become ewer
cised in the least. After the usual delay,
about dark, we got off. The night was
pleasant, and the moon shone out bright
giving us au opportunity to see the
country, cross brooks, avoid mud holes,
Ste. Passing through the village of An
detain, where extensive iron works are lo
cared, and where a number of our men,
wounded in the recent battle there, are in
hospital, some two, miles from camp,
.we kept on in the direction of Harper's
Ferry, stopping, about midnight, on Ma
ryl Ind Heights, about two miles from the
Ferry. Afrer marching some nine or ten
miles, some of the men made coffee, and
prepared supper before retiring, while )th
ers hung themselves up miscellaneously on
the ground, without indulging in any of
the elegant luxuries so abundantly provi•
ded by •our kind Uncle Samuel. While
plodding our way up the narrow, stony
and steep mountains over which we pass
ed, an elegant opportunity was afforded
to study human nature. Some swore at
the stupidity of the officers generally, oth
ers cursed their own luck, while much the
largest number laughed cheerfully, sing•
ing merrily, "Oh, why did you go for a
soldier?"
On Friday morning, about daylight, all
hands were awoke by the sound of the bu
gle, and Maryland Heights were alive with
the strong arms and willing hearts of men
ready and anxious to meet the foe. Your
correspondent felt particularly refreshed
by his sleep before the camp fire of Com
pany K, and was enabled to account for
it on being informed by Captain McDon
ald that our worthy Chaplain, Mr. Wil
liams, had, during the night, spread his
blanket alongside of mine, doubtless bring
ing with him the good angel to guard our
slumbers, thus hallowing the spot, and
shedding about it a genial, peaceful in
fluence. Be this as it may, I slept very
soundly, and, on awaking, I found my
late companions sitting up about th. fire.
I was loth to believe the Captain that. the
Chaplain had bunked beside me, but.
when the reverend gentleman informed
ma Iltraself that such as the case, thee,.
was no longer any Boom for doubt, and
the thought struck me that either he must
have gone about his devotions very early,
or that, on awakening and finding the
bed-fellow he had, he became alarmed of
the company, and quietly slipped off.
Alter partaking of a soldier's breakfast
and taking a smoke, the line was again
formed, and, about 9 o'clock, we renewed
the march. Two miles brought us to a
point on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
which we crossed about half a mile above
Harper's Ferry, and pursued our wty
along the towing path. The scenery at
this place is very grand and varied, having
to be seen to be fully appreciated, while it
has been so often described it is unneces•
sary for me to try to do it here. After
marching along the canal, something less
than a mile, we crossed the railroad, and,
leaving the river and Harper's Ferry on
our right, proceeded some miles down
the Potomac to Sandy Hook. Here a halt
was ordered, and, after resting an hour,
some one found out we were on the wrong
track, when the words "fall in," "atten
tion," "about face," Ltc., were given in
rapid succession. Retracing our steps
we soon came to the point where we had
struck the railroad, a short time before,
and, crossing the river on a pontoon
bridge, we passed through the old, dilapi
dates town made famous by the raid of
John Brown. The place looks badly
used up, the large government work.
shops, and •other public buildings being a
mass of ruins. The only business going
on is the transmission of army supplies,
arid the traffic in sutler's goods. The lit
tle brick building, with its wooden cupo
la, where old John Brown had his head
quarters, is still standing as a monument
of his insanity, and the treason of those
who urged him on in his mad career.
If we had only had a Jackson in the
Presidential chair at.the time old Brown's
soul was sent marching along, to have is
sued his decree that "by the eternal"
should be accompanied by a few of those
fanatics in both extremes of the Union,
who deserved hanging much more richly
than did this crazy old man, thousands and
tens of thousands of valuable lives would
have been saved, while traitors everywhere,
of every kind, would have been taught
to treat with veneration and respect the
Constitution and laws under which we
had grown from a few feeble and depend
-ent colonies, to be one of the most power
ful nations on the face of the earth, whose
flag was known and respected on every sea
and every land. When we think of what
we were, as a people, two years ago, and
what we now are, it, makes the heart sick,
while we naturally reflect upon the cause,
which have produced the sad change.
Oh I think of it! of the blood and tears
which have been shed, of the hearts which
have been wrung and broken, of the fire
sides which have been desolated, of the
ruin and devastation spread generally
over our once happy and united country,
and you have indeed a melancholy picture
—one upon which I cannot dwell.
Passing through Harper's Ferry we
crossed the Shenandoah river, and were
once more making our way into the inte
rior of Virginia. We kept our way along
the mountains some four or five miles,
stopping in a field, in a region known as
Pleasant valley, where we arrived at about
4 o'clock in the evening. Here, immedi
ately after stacking arms, getting supper,
,tc., the rolls having been previously made
out, our regiment was mustered in for pay.
The boys now have four months' pay
coming to them, and are all extremely
anxious to See the paymaster. On our
way this far we seen any amount of Penn-
sylvania troops, a large number of whom
are from the western counties—Butler,
Beaver,
Lawrence, Mercer, &c. We re
mained in the Pleasant Valley camp until
yesterday, (Sunday -..morning,) which gave
all hands •an opportunity to wash up and
get rested, when the call to in" was
again heard, and at 8 -o'clock the line
was formed, and for once we moved
off promptly. It was a big thing, and
every one appeared . 0 see it. Alter the
regiment was formed and before - joining
the main column, ai order from Col.
Sweitzer was read byi Adjutant Cunning.
ham, formerly of Dr. hteyser's well known
establishment, announcing the punishrucht
of several members of different compa
nies, for absenting themselves from camp
with.z,ut leave, straggling, 4c. The Tien
alty in these cases, five or six in number,
was a light fine, and as they are the first
of the kind which hoe occurred in the
regiment, I do not deem -it proper to
ti ti
send the names. Tote credit of the 62d
regiment it can be trul said that its mem
bers have generally, j ehaved remarkably
well, and given as little cause assay other
men in the service for the exercise of harsh
measures. The Cole Mel remarked that
he bad dealt gently with the offenders, this
time being the first, but that it was only
an earnest of what hose who failed to
heed the warning mi:ht expect in future.
He is now thesenior Co onel in the brigade,
and appears to (level() • e, as occasion calls
them:forth, all the qua ifications necessary
for a successful and us-ful officer.
Taking our positio in the 'Column we
moved in the directio of Leesburg, pass
ing through a great dal of fine country,
and some of it rathe rough. We kept
on our way at a regula pace, resting four
or five moments at intervals, striking the
Winchester and Leeshurg turnpike at a
point some fifteen miles from thsecamp we
had left in the morning, about five o'clock
in the evening. Leavir g the main road the
brigade crossed
.a fielt and took quarters
in the edge of an uncerbrushed wood.—
dust as the head of the column in which
we were reached the turnpike, a detach
men of horsemen dashed into sight, which
proved to be Gen. McClellan and his staff.
If the revilers of the little corporal had
heard the cheers which went forth from the
throats of tired soldiers, wearied with the
day's march, when they knew their com
mander was about, these worthies, inclu•
ding the men of black coats and white neck
ties, would have been able to form'some
idea of the estimate I placed upon their
opinions by the men 1 who are doing the
fighting instead of the fault finding. These
gentlemen would consult their own safety
by beluga little careful,) in denouncing little
Mac before any of his soldiers. We are
now in the immediate Ocinity of Snicker's
Gap, twenty miles from Harper's Ferry,
surrounded on all side's by soldiers, and do
not know the hour wlilmay be called upon
to pitch in, as it is confidently predicted
by the knowing ones that a big fight is
near at hand. Ordes have been issued
forbidding any nian to leave camp, and to
be ready to form in lire of battle at a mo
ment's warning. Altiough, of course, I
do not pretend to be fully posted,. I know
more then it would be proper to publish
just now, and that if the arrangements
made to give the rebels a sound thrashing
are not successful this time, in my opinion,
we had better subside.r
Since I last wrote to:you there have been
some changes affecting our division. Gen
Morrell, formerly our division command
er, has been assigned a department, with
his headquarters at Hagerstown, and Gen.
Butterfield hah been made a Major Gener
al, taking the 'place of Gen. Morrell. An
election for officers in companies A and
I) of our reMment has also taken place.—
'ln company A, owing to the promotion of
Captain Hull to be Lieutenant Colonel,
and the resignation of both Lieutenants, a
full set of officers had to be chosen. The
company expressed its preference, very
unanimously, as follows:
Captain—James Brown, formerly anc
tioneer of Allegheny city.
First Lieutenant, Wm. Crider; Second
Lieutenant, John \Valkinshaw. These
gentlemen have all acted in the capacity
of sergeants. and will make efficient and
reliable officers. Captain Brown Was
wounded in ,the late battles before Itich•
mond, and has proven that he is made of
the right stuff.
In company on account of the re
signation of FirscLieutenant Putney, and
the fact that Second Lieutenant Elder was
killed at Malvern Hill, two vacancies were
to be filled. For the first position Sergeant
Townsend, who hod boon for Dome time
acting as Second Lieutenant, was chosen,
while the second honor was conferred up
on Sergeant Truitt. who distinguished him
self' by brave conduct at the battle of Mal
vern fl ill. I u that fight he displayed great
coolness, and after the color bearer of the
62d. had been three times ,hot down, he
boldly rushed forward and bore our stand
urd from the bloody field, thus saying it
from the hands of the enemy.

An Extract from a late Speech of
• Hon. Horatio Seymour.
Horatio Seymour, governor elect of
New York, made a speech the other day
to his immediate neighbors, in which he
said : "It is the beginning of a political
revolution that will again place power in
the hands of those who, until the last two
years, were able to defeat the enemies of
peace, of the Union, of the Constitution.
This triumph removes the great obstacle
in the way of the restoration of our Union.
It teaches the loyal men of the South who
feared that they were unsafe within its
limits, that the conservative men of the
North are able to put down fanatical agi
tators and meddling disturbers without the
help of a single vote from a Southern
State. The doctrine that there is a law
higher than the Constitution, which justi
fies resistance to the statutes of the land,
or to rightful authority, has been con•
demised. Our government has received
new strength. That seditious spirit that
prompted Northern governors to give a
conditional obedience to the constitutional
demands of government has been rebuked.
Treasonable efforts to coerce the executive
into a line of policy opposed to his con
victions of duty have been condemned by
the public verdict.
"The President of the United States has
been instructed to exercise the full meas
ure of his rightful authority to uphold the
dignity of his office, to restrain other de
partments within their spheres, and then,
too, he has been admonished not to go
beyond his own rightful jurisdiction. He
will receive from us that which he has not
had from thosewho claim to be his peculiar
supporters—a cheerful, unconditional obe
dience to lets rightful demands, whether
they meet our views of policy or not. At
our annual elections we shall again sit in
judgmeut on that policy, and condemn or
approve it in the mode pointed out by the
Constitution. In the meanwhile he will
he saved from those intrigues which have
hindered the successful progress of the
war. Our armies will now be permitted
to gain victories in the vicinity of our
capital, as they have heretofore won them
in other fields of action. The national
credit will be strengthened by greater
economy and honesty in the conduct of
affairs. It will also be strengthened, be
cause we propose an object for this war
that can be attained—the resteration of
our Units* All other schemes, which
look to a oody social revolution, will he
abandoned. We can now hope that we
are to be saved from the disgrace of na
tional bankruptcy on the one hand, or the
still deeper dishonor and demoralization
of national repudiation on the other. To
restore oar country to its former condition
we are ready to make every sacrifice, not
only of men and money but also of pas
sion and prejudice, for we will not hold
our passions and prejudices to be more
. sacred than the blood and toil of our fel
low-citizenb in the field of martial con
flict."

WASHINGTON ; Nov. 15.—The Star says;
the mail brings intelligence to-day of the
arrest of Lieut: Colonels Colburn and
Duane, members of the staff of General
McClellan, which took place there yester
day. After due inquiry, we are satisfied
the arrest was caused by the fact that they
accompanied Gen. McClellan from the
front and that they are not recognized
here as being. members of his personal
staff, who were ordered to accompany him
to Trenton. His technical personal staff
are said in official circles to be his two
aids, Lieut. Col. Sweitzer and Lieut.
Col. Duane or his additional aid, A. A. G.
Lieut. Colonel Colburn Under this
reading of his personal staff three or four
other officers are absent with him from the
field without orders to that effect.
It is believed here the arrests referred
to above meant little more than preempt
ory orders to the two officers in question
to return at once to their positions in the
army.
The Star also says it is believed around
us that the gallant and able Heintzelman
is about to be ordered to take the field
and Wadsworth is to have a command in
the army.

November M.—This afternoon, in ac
cordance with custom the refuse of the
workshops of the district armory which is
about a fourth of a mile from Pennsylva
nia avenue on a direct line was destroyed
by fire on the grounds belonging to that
buildi❑g. It happened that some pack
ages of cartridges were among the refuse
and consequently the explosion was of
such a character as to frightfully alarm
those in the immediate neighborhood; the
ry at once spread through the city that
the building had blown up and for a time
there was apprehensions of loss of life
but there was nothing more serious in
volved than the extensive breaking of
window glass by the concussion both of
the armory buildings and the hospitals on
the same public reservations. The shock
was distinctly felt on Pennsylvania avenue;
several panes of plate glass were shattered.
