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,-

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

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. This includes all cap
