WAR NEWS,
Oar reports this morning of the opera
tions of our armies inform ns that all is
qniet in the army in Virginia, and
nothing of a strange character is antici
pated. From the Southwest however
things are moving to onr entire satisfac
tion. The news of the evacuation ot
Chatanooga by the rebels and its occupa
tion by onr force is confirmed, while
Bragg’s army is in fall retreat ; but
whether he succeeded in escaping is
somewhat doubtful.
Gen. Davidson was doing well at Bayou
Metea at last accounts. It is reported
that the Administration is about to send
Gen. Thomas to St. Louis to take the
place of Gen. Schofield in the hope of
keeping the Abolitionists there within
moderate bonds. This would be addi D g
fuel to the flame. The infidel radicals of
St. Louis cannot be kept within bonds
except by force, and this is not likely to
be used by one who, like 'Thomas believes
in all of the extremes to which the Mis
souri Abolitionists are bo rapidly tend
ing.
THE GU BEENATOEIAL CAN
Notwithstanding the notorious fact of
Governor Curtin having publicly declined
a renomination, because of “ declining
health,” we now have him upon the
stump, haranguing the people, begging
them to continue him in an office, the du
ties of which, he announced laßt winter,
were wasting his energies and destroying
his repose. And the manner in which he
has opened the campaign, together with
the men by whom he is surrounded, show
that he and they are determined to stop at
nothing that Btands in the way of their
Buccess. If desperation, falsehood, and
forgery will re elect Gov. Curtin, then
will we have to put up with him for an
other three years.
Onr readers are, doubtless, aware of
Gov. Curtin and a few others, the other
day. visiting the Army of the Potomac,
for the ostensible purpose of presenting
Gen. Meade a swotd, in the name of the
Pennsylvania Reserves. The Governor,
of course, made the presentation speech
in which he indulged in the usual bun
combe, with a neat quotation from a eulo
gy once delivered by the late brilliant and
gifted Hannagan, of Ind. Gen.-Meade's
reply was in good taste enough, except
where he was reported as having told the
soldiers "to remember Ouriin on the day
of the election.” This now turns out to
be a forgery: Gen. Meade never spoke it;’|
it was interpolated by ’.Forney, who was
with the Governor, and published as a’
portion of the General's response. We
can readily infer from this bold attempt at
forgery; the desperate condition of the
Abolition cause in Pennsylvania. Forney,
by way of making amends for his opposi
tion to Curtin’s nomination, is now upon
the stump, travelling with him, perfVrtn
ing every act of political profligacy he
may consider necessary for the buccohs of
his party. But the desperation ol these
leaders is the certain harbinger of'their
defeat. The profligacy wbich will commit
a forgery, which ia aure of speedy expo
sure, resembles more the act of a madman,
than tlfe craft of a politician.
The new organ of the Governor, in this
county, also exhibits symptoms of alarm.
In its issue of Wednesday it made an ap
peal to the defunct wide-awakes of 1860,
to arouse from their lethargy and again
march to battle and to triumph. The CV«i •
mercial forgets, that in 1860, the wide
awakes were marching after prospective
plunder; the niefe slices promised them
not being “enough to go around,” had a
damaging effect upon the health of that
organization, and it is defunct. Itjsdead,
and its nicely trimmed lamps and gay uni
forms will never again revisit the “glimpses
of the moon.” But there is the Union
League, composed of loyal men, panting
patriots, whoße loyalty is boundless as the
sea, although perhaps not quite so deep.
Why does not our spirited contemporary
call upon the League—the latest dodge of
Abolitionism, and legitim ate successor of
the Wide-Awakes —to come to the rescue
on this trying occasion? The League was
started to carry this Fall’s election, why
not call upon the Allegheny county branch
of it to come to the rescue? Is it, too,
dead or only sick? Have the few Democrats
who were gammoned into it taken their
leave of that transparent swindle; it looks
so since the leading Curtin organ here
iB compelled to look for aid, in 1800, to
the Wide-Awakes of 1860.
LETTERS
The Pniladelphia Press, of Wednesday,
ie vicious over a collection of letters it has
from the pens of Democratic politicians.
It remarks:
"Woaro obtaining quite a pleasant litilc col
lection cf letters, and all are interesting, some
instru tivo, and many ainusiag First, there is
Mr. Charles J. Biddle’s address to the people of
Pennsylvania, which, as it will never be recoivtJ
by them, will probably bo scut to the dead-letter
office. Then follows Mr. Biddle's, epistle to Mr.
N. P. the admirab'e reply of the
latter, Gov- ooymour's correspondence with M«.
Lino In ought not to 1 o forgotten* To-day we
publish Mr. Fernando Wood’s astounding letters
to the President, in which that merry young
gentleman wants the war stopped, because ho
hosheyd somebody has said that the rebel lead
ers have seertely 'determined to send Repre
sentatives to Congress if the Government will
cease winning victories, and consent to be par
doned by Jeff Davis, aad repent of if great
wickedness, and bo a good boy hereafter. Now
we want but one mure letter, and that Mr. Justico
Woodward can kuvetho pleasure of writing."
We presume that this literary collection
is intended for the use of the Philadelphia
Union League, but that interesting asso
ciation of contractors, political renegades,
and blaze gentility will soon tire of its pe
rusal. The Press people ought to vary their
entertainment, by varying their literature.
If, in addition to the political letters
already collected, a few were secured like
the one Forney wrote to Roberta, oLßos
ton, asking him to joiu ia a conspiracy to
blast the reputation of a woman, they
would doubtless prove interesting: at least
to Forney himself, and the others like
him, in whom the “hey-day in the blood”
has grown comparatively tame. Their
perusal will, perbapß, revire pleasant rec
elections, and enable the antiquated “Sir
Harcourts'’ of the League to toss off, with
stronger relish, their usual afternoon po
tations. *
THE PROGRESS OF NEGRO
MORALITy.
The iY. I'. Post publishes the follow
ing delectable piece ot intelligence:
Negro Faith.—A Beaufort correspondent of
the Boston Traveller says that the t c«rnes at
that point have great faith la the triumph of our
arms betoro Cha lostoD, anj, as h pro<>t thoreui,
soys name o.t thtm are evtrn dcl<i%rum to ink* uir#o
libCiunelccx new icivi-n, in the hope that ihrtr old
ones may be captnred in the city."
These extraordinary modes of conjugal
fidelity, says the N. Y. World, are the
ideal “Americans of African descent"
to whose moral culture Major-General
Hunter and Brigadier-General Saxton,
philanthropists, devoted themselves with
exclusive perseverance during the first
two years of the war with South Carolina.
It is gratifying to see the results of all this
rather costly enthusiasm.
That even two or three Americans of
African descent should have acquired
such a distinct notion of moral obligations
as to abstain from committing bigamy in
the hope that the “triumph of our arms
before Charleston” will render the crime
unnecessary or even inconvenient, is an
immense progress. Or"course, if onr
army should not triumph before Charles
ton, even these two or three elect breth
ren can’t be expected to “delay” any
longer, but will take unto themselves
“new wives, ” withjthe blessing of Major
General Hunter, the Evening Poet, and
the male and female philantropists.
Mr. W. F. G. Shanks’ Despatch
Heud'ors. Aumvoe the Ccmberi.akii, |
Steveksoi-:, Ala., Sept. 1, 18G3. J
Information has been received here
which indicates that the rebels are mov
ing North from Chattanooga, with Borne
purpose as yet unexplained. Indeed, the
report has not yet beenconfirmed ; but it
has received such serious consideration
that this army has been halted in its
operations until the truth or falsity of the
report can be well established. The
orders for the movement of Crittenden’s
corps, which was to have been made to
day, have been countermanded, and it
yet remains In the Sequatchie valley,
within supporting distance of Burnside,
whose left is in the vicinity of Kingston.
Crittenden's left isat Pikeville. You will
notice that there is a gap of forty-five or
fifty miles between the two armies, filled
up by roving bands of cavalry and a courier
line. This gap is a mountain which is
called “Walden’s ridge of the Cumber
land.” Burnside’s right is in front of
Knoxville, on the Clinch river. Hfr
army, is about ninety, mileß through a
wide rich valley, from Chattanooga.—
He is fifty miles from the railroad which
represents on the map the rebel line of
retreat Southward. With the two great
armies thus situated there are reason why
this as yet undefined rumor is rather start
ling.
The Fifty MiUion Loan,
The loan of fifty millions asked for by
Secretary Chaso, of the associated banks
ib intended to pay suspended claims
against the treasury, which have accumu
lated daring the last six months, and the
balance of the loan will be used to carry
an the government until the new treasury
notes are ready for issue. The public
debVhas'notincreased since the last pub
lished statement beyond the amount of
the five-twenty ■ bonds issned. Subscrip
tions to the fivo twenties during the laßt
week amounted .to nearly four millions.—

Our Civil W|ar in Europe
Ihe news from Europe which we this
morning publish, although much of it
must be received with cautious skepticism
is certainly not calculated to diminish the
uneasiness with which the state of our
foreign relations has for some time past
behn regarded not only at Washington
but in all well informed commercial circles
throughout the country.
Whether it be strictly that one uconfed
©rate iron clad,” armed with'a steel ram,
was actually ready for sea at Liverpool at
the end oflast month, and that another
similar vessel was fast approching comple
tion in the Clyde, may well be questioned.
The information comes to us in the form
of a memorial addressed to Earl Bussell
by the “Executive Committee of the
Emancipation Society,” and it is signed
by persons of no particular note or weight
of whom our domestic experience of the
average philanthropist warrents us in ex
posing that there zeal may in this case
have outrun there knowledge. It is cer
tainly far from probable that vessels bo
formidable in character Bhould have been
carried forward to completion in British
mercantile docyards without attracting the
attention of our own repsentatives in
Great Britain, and we venture to beleive
tlaVthe harbor of New York is not likely
t o be immediately attacked by the rebel
monsters of the deep. Nor is it at all more
likely that the rebel man-of-war Atlanta is
undergoing repair in the imperial dock
yard at Brest,” or that “ sundry vessels
on the model of the Alabama are build
ing for the confederates in French porta.”
These stories come to ua through English
correspondents in Paris, who may natnr
ally be supposed not averse to discharg
ing upon French shoulders a portion ol
the odium incurred in this country by the
English ship merchants who find the
government of Mr. Jefferson Davis in men
of- war.
These “sensational” features of the
situation abroad, so far as it affects our
own country and interests are of little im
portance in comparison with the increas
ing eviaeuee which reaches ua that the
French policy in Mexico ia moving stead
ily onward to a consummation which must
almost inevitably bring with it the recog
nition cf the “Confederate States’’ by
France.
Napoleon is evidently permitting the
Polish question to drift slowly to leeward,
and as evidently bringing the American
question gradually into the foreground of
European diplomacy. The acceptance
ol the Mexican throne by the Archduke
Mrximilian is more and more poa itivel
affirmed and the first, information which
has reached ua of a protest on the part of
our own government against the contemp
tuous disregard of the Monroe doctrine
manifested in the political action of the
French in Mexico comes coupled with the
plainest iutimation that no serious atten
tion will be paid to that protest.
<>f ibis indeed we might have been as
sured in advance. The Kmptror Napo
leon has taken no measurea)in Mexico to
which the governments of England and
Spain are not substantially bound by the
spirit of the original tripartite alliance to
afford at least a moral acquiescence, and
in so far a moral support. Assured ol
this, and satisfied that upon the most im
portant European questions now pending
before his government or held by him in
boyau ce hid European alliances are too
dexterously combined and interwoven to
be broken up, Napoleou will hardly per
mit his American policy, be it what it may
to bo modified by any representations
which Mr, Sewards is at all likely to make
t.o him.
The antecedent probabilities are that
i hose representations will prove to have
been at one and the same time inconsist
ent with Mr. Seward,s voluntary previous
indorsement of the French movement
agaiost Mexico, and inadequate to the oc
casion which has compelied the retraction
of that indorsement.
The few readers of the Secretary’s
volnmious foreign correspondence are well
aware that in the presence of really criti
cal emergencies Mr. Seward fatally oscil
lates between timidity and truculence.—
If he happened to be in a vein of timidity
•when be drew up his protest against the
changes in Mexico, the popular indigna
tion in this country will bo very likely to
bring about the most seriouß complica
tions in our relations with France, If the
duty happened on the other hand to have
fallen upon the truculent mood in the
ministereal mind, it is very plamfthat the
most peremptory and menacing reply
may surely be expected from the Emper
or.
In whatever aspect the position is ex
amined, its gravity cannot be denied ; and
it is worse than useless to attempt to con
ceal it. The immediate future so lowers
upon us from beyond the Atlantic as to
make it the most sacred duty of the gov
ernment at once to abandon all vexatious
and partisan measures, and to Bet about
harmonizing tbs national feeling and
uniting the national force in the face of
foreigu peril by a domestic policy frank,
tolerant, and constitutional.— World.
An Amnesty Suggested,
A letter to the Cincinnati Commercial,
dated at Frankfort, Kentucky, ou the :: lal
inst:
General Green Clay Smith, Congress
man elect, has jnst returned from Wash
ington. 1 traveled with him to-day from
Covington to this place, and during our
trip he told me that while at the national
capital he had an interview with Mr. Lin
coln relative to the ißsne of a proclama
tion offering a general amnesty to all now
in arms against the government who
ground their weapons of rebellion and
come back to their allegiance. He advi
sed the President to guarantee fall pro
tection to the person and property of all
returning prodigals—using the general
term “property” to ihclndeslaves as well
as horses and: lands. Mr- Lincoln said
he would not revoke one line of his proc
lamation. Gen, Smith did not want him
to do so, but simply asked that repentant
rebels be permitted to test the legality of
the edict in the civil courts. The Presi
dent expressed himself perfectly willing
that they should do this, and said he wonld
abide by the judicial decisions when made.
The interview was quite satisfactory to
both parties. In conclusion, Mr. Lincoln
said that he thirsted neither fop blood nor
the property of the rebels. The war
could not terminate too soon for him;
but, if at its close, it was fonnd that the
institution of slavery had suffered, its
friends, and not he would be to blame.

GEN. BURNSIDE’S OPERATIONS!
TESiVESSBE TOTALLY ABANDONED
Headers Army ok Cumberland, \
Near Trenton Gap, Sept, 9. J
A dispatch just in from in front of
camp brings intelligence that the enemy
yesterday began the evacuation of Chatta
nooga, moving outward, with all their
stores and munitions.
I am informed that nothing definite is
known of the operations or position of
Burnside's at present, but from meagre in
formation there is but little doubt that
East Tennessee has been totally abandon
ed by the rebels. Gen. Crittenden is to
day marching into Chattanooga.
The utmost efforts are being mado to re«
pair the bridges destroyed on the Mem
phis aud Charleston railroad, which will
soon be iu operation. No particulars
other than those are yet known at head
quarters.
The New \ ork Tribune has the follow
Lookout Valley Twelve Miles South of
Trenton, Ga. Sept. 7.—The army has
crossed the first ridge of mountains South
of Tennessee river valley, just west of the
Lookout range, and in view of, and as far
South as Wiston, which is forty-live miles
South of the river. The enemy has not
yet offered the slightest resistance. There
are but three roads over Lookout moan
tain, between Chattanooga and Wiston,
where an army with baggage and artillery
can pass, one at Chattanooga and one at
Johnston's Creek, eight miles South of
Trenton, and the other at Wiston,
It is thought certain that Bragg, il he
tights at all, will contest our passage at
either of these points. Skirmishing will
probably commence to morrow. The ar
my has endured fatigue and marches
bravely. It desires nothing better than a
fight, as it iB tired cf racing for Bragg,
if the bold movement succeeds,
Chattanooga falls of itself. The right ot
the army is now less than fifty miles from
Rome. Forage is plenty in the valley,
and the inhabitants are sick of the war.
The slaves have nearly ail been inn into
the interior. The first rain lor some time
fell to day—a slight shower.
Philadelphia, Sept. 10. —Tho occupa

The victory, it it be true, was brought
about by a bloodless flank movement. —
The glorious news, if true, should inspire
every friend ot the National cause, ar.d
cheer every Pennsylvanian to victory in
next October.
To-day is the anniversary of Perry’s
great victory in IMS, on Lake Erie, li
is a fitting day to a-nonnee another step
made by Gillmore at Charleston. If Prov
uleuce helped him amid the sauna of Mor
ris Island, where water followed, every
where else, tint thrust of the spade, his
Engineer Corps found earth enough to
run a parallel to the vei v moat of'Fort
Wagner. This decided the fate of Morris
Island. The garrison retreated, spiking
their guns.
We now hold Waguor, and Gregg, and
Cummings’ Point, almost as near Charles
ton as Sumter, and commands a full view
of the city.
Charleston is now at the mercy of Gill
more’s Greek fire.
Beauregard's reply to Gillmore, when
asked to surrender the city, was, “Come
and take it.’’
The rebels still hold Fort Ripley, in the
mouth of the harbor, Castle Pinckney,
Fort Johnson, Moultrie, Battery Bee, and
about throe miles of laud batteries.
Cummings’ Point commandsthe south
ern channel of the harbor.
The rebel works on Sullivan’s Island
command the North channel.
From Gregg and Wagner we shall prob
ably now shell the city. The people here
this morning are wild over the success —
many supposing that Charleston will be
ouis in a week. The intelligent prove
fhatthe ndAautages thus gained are only
of consequence as they effect the general
siege.
The next move no one can tell.
The redoubtable Parson Brownlow, this
morning, advertises the resumption of his
paper in Kuoxville—Title, “The Knox
ville Whig and Rebel Ventilator.” Pro
tected by union arms, he will make that
section howl.
Judge Cadwallader yesterday decided
the conscription act constitutional.
A Union force was as Waxahtohie, and
another body of our troops aro advancing
upon Rome, Georgia. At this latter point
the rebels have long been preparing to
resist the Union army. 'Formidable for
tifications have been constructed, and ev
ery means brought into requisition to repel
an attack. Large iron foundries and im
mense depots of provisions are in the
place. It is a placo of vital importance
to the rebellion.
Gen. Averil has driven the rebel Gen.
Jackson out oi Pocahontos and over the
Warm Spring Mountains, in a Beries of
skirmishes, destroyed their saltpetre
works, burned a camp, and captured a
large amount of arms, equipments and
stores, and fought a severe engagement
with a superior force under the command
of Maj, Gen. Sam. Jonesand Col. Patton,
at Rocky Gap, near White Sulphur
Springs. ;
Gold declined at the board to-day 5 per

The Secrettry of the Navy is now mak

the city from three different points, while

by two confident sympathisers in Norfolk.

New York* Sept. 10.—The Herald’s
dispatch says,:
The military commission composed of
Major General Augnr, Brigadier Generals
Ketchum, Paine and Barnes, and Colonel
Shorn, of Gen. Halleck’s staff, met here
to-day lor the purpose of prosecuting an
investigation into certain fraudulent trans
actions connected with several depart
ments of the army, but owing to the non
arrival of Judge Advocate, Major Hast
ings, the commission, without taking any
cases, adje-nmed until Friday.
The steamers arriving from the Chesa
peake, report all quiet on the Potomac,
with no indications of rebel batteries. A
few cavalry are seen from time to time,
but uo attempt has been made to interfere
with the navigation of the river, nor has
anything been heard from tjie rebel force
sent ont to make additional captures of
gunboats.
Cixctsvati, Sept. 10.— Special dis
patches to the Commercial, from Duvall’s
Bluff, dated Ang. 29, says :
Gen. Davidson moved on the rebel
works near Bayou Metaer on the 27th, and
after a severe engagement of an hour and
a qaartor, succeeded in driving the rebels
from their intrenchments. The engage
ment was confined to artillery, and sharp
shooters firing from undercover. The reb
els had three thousand men,and three piec.
es of artillery. They returned across the
river, burning the bridge behind them,
and took up a strong position in the woods
on the W est side of the Bayou, where
their sharpshooters can pick off any per
son approaching from the East bank of
the Bayou. It can be crossed without
pontoons. Gen. Steele will move forward
in the morniDg.
Cincixxati, Sept. 10, —A special dis
patch to the Gazette from Trenton, Ga.
on the nth, says :
At 12 o’clock to-day, Gen, Crittenden
took peaceable possession of Chattanoo
ga. Gen. Wood was put in command of
the place. The principal portion of the
rebel infantry left Chnttanooga yesterday
morning. Their cavalry remained till this
morning. The headquarters of the de
partment probably will be at Chattanooga.
The rebels are in rapid retreat, bnt oar
combinations are Buch that they can hard
ly get cii with all their forces. They are
cutting down treeß and using other means
to obstruct our further passage over the
mountains. Our advance threatens the
Georgia State road, which is the rebel liue
of retreat,.
New \,u;k, Sept. lo. —The Paymaster
will arrive here on Saturday to pay off the
Army ct the Potomac. Fonda for the
payment of all the troops in the field are
nearly ready.
We learn on authority entitled to credit,
that Gen. Hunter is about to be re assign
ed to duty in command oi a Western de
partment. It is thought he will be able to
keep the Abolitionists within some bounds
of' moderation, and that, as under hia
tormer rule, guerrilla warfare in Missouri
and along the Kansas frontier will be
promptly and severely checked.
