THE ARMY OF THE POTO» 4< A year or two ago we were horribly im pressed with the reportß of blood aod car nage from the different battle fields of tbe rebeilion, but the longer the contest con tinues, the more we are becoming recon* ciled to its devastations and terrors. In fact, the management of the army of the Potomao is becoming jocular; what was, two years Bince terribly tragic, is now a broad and grinning farce. More than 4 year ago the Administration dismissed Gen. McClellan, because he was “too slow he had previously gone to within three miles of Richmond and failed in capturing that rebel stronghold only be cause the Administration failed to rein force bim. But the Administration most have some excuse for its failures, and the most convenient was to charge them upon McClellan ; and, accordingly he was dismissed, and that, too, while in pur suit of the retreating rebel army. His dismissal took place more than a year ago, and what has been done since 7 Thousands of lives have been sacrificed ; thousands of widows and orphans have been made, millions of deb*ta have been contracted, but what has been obtained iu our advance upou Richmond ? This is a question, which the Abolition blood hounds, that bunted down McClellan, will please auawer. Even since the battle of Gettysburg we have been regaled, every morning, with the report from Washington of something very decisive going to happen in the Vir ginia campaign. But more recently, we have had it announced in large letters that the President was delighted with the con dition of things in Virginia and that the heart of the Nation wonld in a few days Wftl1 T waited gence and what was it when it reached us? Why it was that General Meade had re treated back to his base of operations and that the campaign in Virginia was over for the winter. Here is the Administration’s apology for this most lame impotent con clusion of the late advance into Virginia, which was intended to make the heart of the Nation bound with exultation. At a Council of War held on Monday night., the facts were demonstrated that the enemy was entrenched behind very formidable earthworks, which they were every mo ment strenthening. The fearful loss it would entail on us, and the impossibility o? succoring our wounded before they would perish with the cold, in case we at tempted to carry the rebel works by as sault, were some of the considerations wfifcK Ifidifced the 'subsequent action. Our rations and forage had nearly run out, and the roads were too bad to allow fur ther transportation from our distant base of supplier, WHAT IT COST. GovebnmbntExpendix.ubes.—The Wash ington correspondent of The Baltimore Sun writes onthe2£d of November as fol- : “As the opinion is semi officially pro mulgated ana reiterated that the estimates of the budget for the next fiscal year will be $1,200,000,000 (those for the Navy Department alone being about $150,000,- pan approximate the total Gov- Mtnment expeditnre from'the beginning of the war to 1 fhfe end of the fiscal year iD 1866; For the several sessions, they are as follows for definite objects : For extra •eßßion of 1861, $894,900,000 : for regular sesKbn of 1862-8, $978,120,000-total, $2,188,170,000 ; add for estimates for the j next fiscal .year, sl.2oo,ooo,ooo—total, $8,888,170,000.” To this the Providence Post adds : “We beg >our> readers-, to dwell for a -moment on these .figures, Onr appro priations under Mr. Lincoln's Admin istrauon already amount to two thousand one hundred,and thirty-three millions ol dollars.

(We presume the actual value of that jproperty was not less than Thirty Thousand millions.)

The highest Abolition authority now admits four thousand millione and considers it cheap, as it is only ore-fourth of the offi cial valuation of the entire private or in divi lual property of the American peo ple iu 1860. Will Borne gifted mathemati cal miud compute Pennsylvaia’a share of this trifle. ABOLITION PHIIi&NTHBOPY, “Tho progress of Abolition philanthropy is becoming quite savory along the line of the Mississippi. What a source of pleas are and happiness it mast be to the pioas fraternity, to dwell upon the wretchedness, desti ution misery, disease and death they have brought upon the poor ignorant blacks whom they have forced from com fortable homes to sinks of corruption aod disease.’ 1 At a meeting held in New York, ashort timeoDice, by the especial friends of imme diate emancipation, the utter destitution of the freed blacks along the line of the Misissippi was fully admitted. We thought that the issuing of the emancipation act was to be the advent of a milleuium for the blacks, but the picture which their friends present of them now is very de plorable, and shows that to make them free may, after all, be not the Seat way to make them happy. It is said that at pres eut there are some thirty-five thousand women, children and infirm men between Helena, Ark., and Natchez, Miss., in the greatest state of destitution. The sturdy negroc-s were all driven into the army as fast as they came into the lines decoyed by the hope of freedom, and their fami lies, having to depend eu, hang on the rear of the army, a squalid train of beings, who cared very little what side was beaten. This was the state that the meeting had to consider, and consid eriug how instrumental the majority at it had been in bringing the blacks to this condition, it did not Beem a very delects ble contemplation. However, they mas tered their emotions sufficiently to go through the usoal routine of such business. They first resolved that things were actu ally as stated; then that an immediate change was necessary; and thirdly, that means ought to be obtained for that pur pose, that meant f rom outsiders. After performing this arduous duty, the meet ing marched John Brown’s soul a little farther and then disbanded. SOUTHEBI NEWS General D. H. Hill and the Battle of Chtchamsaga. Fi om the Riebmond Inquirer Nov. 27, Lieutenant General D. H. HiU, full/and completely exonerating him from any re aponeibiftty for of Gen. Bragg to reap the fruits £f the victory at Chicka mauga. Indeed, when we consider the manifest injustice done Gen. HiU we are surprised, as well as pleased, at the tem perate chnraci er of his vindication. Gen. Hill has made the reputation of a hard fighter, of which do injustice can deprive him, and we, in common with onr coun try men, earnestly hope he may be speedily reinstated in the Army of Tennessee, under Longstreet. or Johnston, or Lee, and that General Bragg may be permitted to rest for a season. General Hill’s Card. As several erroneous statements have been made in regard to my being relieved from duty with the Army ot Tennessee, it cannot be improper to give the facts in the case. When the order relieving me was received, 1 called upon Oen. Bragg and asked the cause of it. He said be had no cause of complaint against me up to the close of the battle on the 20th of September, that no imputationshad been, or could be, made against my military character, and that he would promptly rebuke any one making suoh in his pres ence. I then asked what could be the reason tor his action. He alleged aslhe cause an expression of opinion on my part. I inquired why I alone was respon sible for this utterance, when the other three corps commanders, (Longstreet, Buckner and Cheatham had concurred in it. To this no satisfactory answer was given. The insinuation made by some of the army correspondents, of my being tardy in attacking on the morning of/ the 20th September, is unjust. The first intima tion that I received that we were to be the assailants was an order to advanoe from the wing commander (Gen. Polk,) receiv ed at twenty-five minutes after seven a. m. And the first I heard of the contem plated attack at daylight was from Gen. | Bragg himself, some half hour later. The tour essential preparations for battle bad ndt been made at eight a* m., and m fact, could not be made without the presence of the Commauder-in-Chief, who then Bp peered on the field Lieutenant General Longstreet has since told me that ha was so fapfromheing ready at daylight that he was not even ready when I began the attack. My impression is that my corps was engaged more than an hour before a trigger was drawn by any cither troops. To the fierceness of the as sault by this heroic corps the Yankees as cribe their massing on our right. If lam not greatly mistaken, we had gained the Chattanooga read, turned the Yankee works, and nearly reached the Kelly house before the left wing came into action. The Yankees concentrated their forces rapidly to regain the key point of their position. Gen. Helm and Dechler were killed, ana Gen. Adams was wounded and cap tured by the overwhelming masses thrown against my single corps. Gen. Adams . ** ™. e the Yankees, in conversation with him, ascribed the loss of the battle to their withdrawing too many troops from their right to meet this morning attack of my heroic men on their left. It would seorn that the delay in attacking on our left led them to believe that our forces were massed on our right. All the Yan kee accounts of the battle agree in this view of our plan of attack I heard no firingon onr left until after the fine troopß of Walker and Liddell had had come to oar support. The charge of tardiness being disposed ufi it may be well to quote to the self constituted critics the following extract from the letter of Adjutant General, in re fusal of my application for a Court of in quiry : —“lndeed, with an officer of jour past service and approved gallantry, mili tary delinquency is a presumption not to b J' any one, and certainly not ° “ e * bß ?n o e of all charge or complaint sanctioned by the Department.’' D. H. Hill, Lieutenant GeneraL CoMtso Home.-Gov, Curtin has receiv ed permission to remove the Pennsylvania nek and wounded now at Davis’ Island New York, to Philadelphia. ’ the BAT lEE OF KINtitiOLD, UA Five Hoar* Hard Fls;litltf|-The Ene my Again Defeated—Mom Prisoners and Artillery Ta&en, Maj. Gen’i. Hookeb’s Headquarters, Ringgold, Ga,, Nov. 28, 1868. The Town of Ringgold, Ringgold is a small place of about two thousand inhabitants, and the county seat ol Catoosa coußty, Georgia ; is entuated at the base of the White Oak Mountain ridge, and directly in front of Ringgold Gap. The Gap. As jou pass np the main street you come to t.ie road, straight ahead, leading through Ringgold Gap. This is not wide. On either side of it rises the moaDtainOQS heights of White Oak Ridge. This ridge extends along for a very considerable dis tance, forming a chain of low mountains. In fact, the wnolc ol this region of coun try is but a puceeasion of ridges, with nar row vallejs between. The common or gc-neraily travelled roads converge to these gaps, l hese are so peculiarly protected by the adjacent ridges that two or three hundred men, posted on the ridges, with a section of artillery to sweep the gap, cmn hold an army in check until snoh time as preparation is made either to take the po sition by direct assault, in front or by a flank movement, through other gaps in the same ridge, and au advance in the valley beyond. Ringgold Gap is a strong posi tion for defence. The slopes of the ridges are steep, wooded and difficult of ascent. The Battle of Blnggold. Supposing the enemy to be in small force, Osterhaus’ division pressed forward in line of battle with great gallantry. The enemy opened a scattering musketry fire from the top ef the ridge, and also brought into action lour pieces of artillery, that swept the gap and threw their shells into the town and our lines. Notwithstanding this, Osterhaus’ men kept on their coarse, advancing at quick time up the slope, on both sides of the gap. They had almost gained the summit, when the ene my showed his strength by delivering a terrific fire from the mountain top, at the same time succeeded m throwing a brigade each on the right an left of our lines. Oar men stooa their ground well, but at last had to slowly retire in consequence of the enemy’s superior strength and posi tion. The enemy, finding our men falling back, followed them up with great persis tency, and attempted to drive them across the railroad line by making a charge, but did not succeed, as Osterhaus’ men bravely held their own and kept their line un broken Geary’* Division, Tw el fill Corps. In this emergency Geary’s division, of the Twelfth corps, was ordered into ac tion. General Geary at once ordered Colonel Canby’a brigade (commanded at the time of this engagement by Colonel Creighton) around on our left, to advance up the elope for the purpose of turning the enemy’s right. The General’s orders were promptly obeyed. The brigade got within thirty yards of the crest, the Seventh Ohio being in the extreme ad vance (their skirmishers had even got on the crest,) when the enemy, by a quick movement, massed a superior force against it and succeeded in delivering a cross fire, successfully -nfilading their line. The enemy’s fm wus so rjipid and heavy that it was totally ttnpo.-r.ible for so small a force to withstand it any length of time without being almcst annihilated. Still they s:ood ihe-.r ground firmly and nobly, when Gen* rul Geary. seeing it was no use for them to remaiu longer under such a heavy fire. were withdrawn by hiß orders. 1 he enemy continuing to press our lines, two sections of Knapp’s Pennsylvania battery were got into position and opened fir*»oo ibo rigtiv > t- r - - r «u.- At this time, too, the Second and Third brigades of Geary’s division—lreland’s and Cobden s brigades—were ordered np. Oor line then became extended, in view of making A Grand Assault The decisive moment came at last. The grand movement was made. Slowly our men advanced, and slowly the rebels re tired toward the gap and np the mountain slope. Ou? artillery, too, kept up a steady fire, almost immediately silencing that of the enemy. Osterhaus’ division occupied the centre,one brigade of Geary's Was on the extreme left and the other two on the extreme right. After mnch patient effort we outflanked the rebels on the right and left ot the hills, gained tfc ■"», and drove the remaining rebels from the gap and held the latter position. In the final movements the rebels retreated in the most disorderly manner. They did not all of them get away, as we took about three hundred prisoners. At one time the enemy had succeeded in turning our right flank ; but still this did not disorganize the line, we merely changing front and meeting this move ment in the usual manner of military pro ceeding. The Rebel* Show False Colon. At the lime when Colonel Creighton made the advjnce with Geary's First brig ade the enemy displayed from the crest of the ridge the colors taken from the Twenty ninth Missouri regiment. For a minute or two our men withheld their fire, when the enemy embraoed this oppor tunily to deliver his with telling effect. Our Losses. Considering ihe strong positions we have taken from the rebel leaders—even by direct assault—our loss has been ex ceedingly small. Perhaps one of the main reasons tor this is, that advancing up the alopeß of the mountaineous-like hills, the rebels miscalculated and, frequently fired too high. Losses at Ringgold. Oar total loss in the engagement at Ringgold will reach tire hundred, rank and file, killed and wonnded. Geary’s division lost two hundred and five, rank and file. Of this division the First brigade lost heavily. In it the Seventh Ohio, Bixty-sixth Ohio, Twenty eighth Pennsylvania and One Hundred and Forty seventh Pennsylvania are the great est sufferers. In the Second brigade the Twenty-ninth and One Hundred and Eleventh Pennsylvania regiments lost slightly. _ | End of the Campaign To day ii was decided not to pursue the enemy any farther The reasons that led the military authority to this course of ac tion I refrain from giving, from consider ations of the highest importance to our military interests. It cannot be said that I have been indiscreet in givingyon this in formation, when we take into considers tion, long before this letter reaches you, movements will have been made InlJy in dicating to the enemy the object ol our main designs. Hooker will maUe a dem onstration towards Dalton ; Sherman to wards Lafayette, and the line of the Cleveland and Dalton railroad will be more extensively destroyed than it now is; while other operations will be instituted lor the rebel ul Baruside, and to afford Longstreot an opportunity for a fight, with the odds greatly on our side. Our Captures In artillery afcd prisoners have, indeed, been great. When we get in the deserters, stragglers and prisoners, proper, thennm her will Certainly reach, if not exceed eight thousand. The woodearefull of de serters and stragglers, and they are seek log every opportunity to come into our !'"»*■ •" tllH operations of ths 26th and p , ' Booker, Howard, Sherman and calmer together took over one thousand prisoners. Prom the information which I at^ neral Gram ' B headquarters, and from different general officers, our cap tures in artillery will set the number up to sixty-four pieces.
