Our Government, in addition to the immense 'army i which' Grant started with in the 'spring., has called . for tin additional half millien of men, one half of whom have already reached the field.

This is . horribl. i, monstrous and criminal trifling with a patridtic people.' I ltitik WITIL GM I Gen: Grant, with the overwhelming forces. tinder his command, backed, as he is, by the entire power of the Gov ernment, could go into Richmond at auy tnoinent, If the Administration desired it. He could have taken it, any time, within the last four months. But the , oulenlation was, and is, to reserve the fall of the rebel capital, for partizan purposes; and, accordingly, we now hear of new movements by Grant which will result in something decisive just in time, as the Administration thinks to effect the. coming elections in Pennsyl vania, Ohio,, and Indiana, which occur a week from to-morrow. This war has been prolonged for partizan purposes; from the day General McClellan was dismissed the service, over two years ago, beaause he was 'too slow," until the preSexit, the Administration has been using the blood and treason of the na tiononerely to prolong its own existence. It , his had during the period mention ed but two objects in view—one was the prolongation of the war, in order to use the incalculable means it affords to keep itself in power; the other was the de- raining of Gen. McClellan; and to these objects it has devoted ita entire atten tion. Had General McClellan had et at bis command, two years ago, one-halt the men Grant has already slaughtered in his campaign against Richmond,that city would have certainly been captured; but, as we have said, that was not the purpose of the Administration. The idea was and is to reserve the fall of the rebel capital until the precise period in tended by our most infamous Chief Mag IstTate. Consequently the fall of Rich mond ls about to,take place; some time the present week will therefore likely see what might have taken place over wo years ago The Abolition press are making quite &fuse over the fact of Generals Hooker and Dix supporting Lincoln. What else could they do, we thould like to know? They are both office l kolders, under the Administration, receiving big pay and rationa.for doing nothing; and they are consequently as favorable to the re-election of Lincoln as any other office holder in the land. What let us ask would become of such men as Hooker, and the thousands of others who are now living in clover, provided the war were to close? They would abso lutely starve. We all know that the war has been a God-send to many a poor devil, who before it broke out, was living on alms. Now these ruddy and rotund parsons are too big for thei r uniform, and instead of nibbling at brown bread and cheese parings, they fare sumptuously on canvass-backed ducks. The idea of these precious beings being in favor of the re-election of the pereoit who supports them with nice pickings is not all astonishing. It is a matter of necessity with them, and hence their anxiety for Honest Abe's election. A little Ricketty. The Commercial of Saturday in one ar ticle declares for "universal emancipa tion."

To all fug and Patriotic Men. Our last letter closed with the rein statement of General McClellan on the 2d of September, 18624 in - the command of his old army increased by the routed. remains of, the army of Virginia. On that veiy"day he issued orders di recting the retreating eerps and ments,detach whit positiona to take up, so as, most ffeetually to check the advance of the enemy. The effect upon the army was'electric. "HIM did you fiel,"reaia we to a soldier, "when your old com mander was restored to you?" "We felt," said he, "like one who had lost al' he had in the world and it was all sud denly restored to him when he least ex pected it." Rapidly the demoralized portion of the army recovered their or ganization and confidence and were pre pared for battle and victory. The rebels did not pursue the retreat ing Union army towards Washington, and on the 3d of September, had disap peared from the front on the Virginia side. It became evident, that their de sign was to Gross the 'Potomac, but at what points or whether for the purpose of attacking Baltimore or Washington On the Maryland side, or Invading Penn sylvania, could not for some days be as certained. General McClellan with the main body of his army crossed into Maryland, and cautiously advanced on several parallel roads, keeping the Po tomac on his left in such a manner as to cover Washington until the rebel plans should be developed. Air on for mer occasions, the authorities at Wash ington, still trembling for their own safety, were constantly thrusting up‘u him their am rehensions and advice. On the 9th of September, General Halleck telegraphed him as follows: "Until we can get better advices about the numbers of the enemy at Drainesville. I think we must be very cautious about stripping too much the forts on the Virginia side. It may be the enemy's object to draw off the mass orour forces and then attempt to attack from the Virginia side of the Potomac. Think of this." On the 13th he telegraphed: "Until you know more certainly the enemy', force south of the Potomac, you are wrong in thus uncovering the Capital I am of the opinion that the enemy will send a small column toward Pennsylva nia to draw your forces in that direction, then suddenly move on Washington with the forces south of the Potomac and those he may cross over." On the 14th Gen. Halleck telegraphed "Scouts report a large force still on the Virginia aide of the Potomac. If so, I fear you are exposing your left and rear." On the 16th Gen. Halleck telegraphed: "I think, however, that you will find that the whole force of the enemy in your front, has crossed the river. I tear now more than ever that they Will recross at Harper's Ferry, or below, and turn your left, thus cutting you off troni Washington. This has appeared to me to be a part of their plan and hence my anxiety on the subject." The general reader will remember that General Halleck testified before a certain military commission that Gener al McClellan, when ordered to repel the invasion of Maryland, had marched with his army on an average only six miles a day, and a clamor was raised against him because he was so slow. But General Halleck did not state that it would not have been prudent for him to have advanced faster until he knew the enemy's objects, and that, slow as his progress was, it was too fast for the nerves of the General in chief, who con stantly imagined he saw the rebel army evading McClellan and falling upon Washington. If these messages mean: that General McClellan was preceding too fast—was leaving Washington too far behind him—so far that the rebels might slip in and capture the City with its worthy occupants. Yet, the Gener al in chief afterwards had the honor, without a word of explanation, to state that General McClellan's army marched on an average only similes a day, creating the impression that he was criminally slow in advancing upon the enemy? On the 18th of September, a general order of the rebel commander, dated the 9th, fell into the hands of General Mc- Clellan, which conclusively showed, that his immediate object was not an at tack on Washington, but the invasion of Pennsylvania through the Cumber land valley. From that moment his ad • vance was rapid enough to satisfy the most eager for battle. All portions of the army were ordered to advance with the utmost expedition. On the next day, the 14th of September, occurred the bttles and victories of South Moun tain and Crampton's Gap. It was night before the battle of South Mountain was ended. The next morning the enemy were rapidly pursued, 250 prisoners and two guns taken in Boonsboro, many stragglers picked up, and night found the opposing armies confronting each other at Antietam creek., The 16th was spent in reconnoitering and taking posi tions until near night, when a sharp fight occurred between advanced parties. On the 17th was fought the bloody bat tle of Antietam, at the close of which, though the rebels lost some of their po sitions they still maintained a defiant front. The 18th was spent in burying the dead, taking care of the wonuded, reorganizing the shattered columns and preparing for a renewal of the battle the next morning ; but the enemy retreated in the night, conceding the victory to the Union arms. Thus was Washington re lieved from apprehensions, and Penn sylvania saved from invasion. After all this, a cruel and unjust at tempt was made by the General-in-Chief to hold Gen. McClellan responsible for the surrender of Harper's Ferry, with .nine thousand men, on the morning of the 15th September. Before he left Washington, Gen. McClellan .had re commended that this force should be withdrawn and sent into 'the Cumber land valley for its defence , but no atten tion was paid to his recomendation. Oa the 10th he telegraphed as follows to Gen. Halleck "Col. Miles is at or near Harper's Ferry, as I understand. He can do nothing where he is, but could be of great service if ordered to join me. I suggest that he be ordered to 'join me by the most practicable route." The Ganeral.in-Chief replied: "There is no way for Col Miles to join you at present; his only chance is to defend his works until you can open communica Lion with him." Although communication was cut off from below, there was then no obstacle to his retirement through Williamsport and Hagerstown. Harper's Ferry was not then under General McClellan's command. ,and he could do no more than open communica tion with it, and thus, if possible, save the garrison. FOr this Purpose', Was the advance through Crampton's Gap; and the object would have been accomplish. ed, but for the unnecessary and coward ly surrender of that post on the 16th. The Union army at the An; tietam numbered 87,164 men. It lost in killed, wounded, and missing, 12,469. The rebel army numbered about 97,- 000 Men. Their lsilif,lthough= Aver def initely ascertained, undoubteplt*Peed , ed that of the Union army. - The entire killed of the latter army were 2010.

The results of the military operations of 1862, thus far under Commander-in— Chief Lincoln and Major General Mc- Clellan, may be slimmed up as follows : LINCOLN SAVED RICHMOND. AND McOLELLAN SAVED WASHING For saving Richmond, Lincoln is praised, flattered and proposed for re election to the Presidency I For saving Washington, McClellan is traduced, driven from the service of his country, and even stigmatized as the ac• complice and leader of traitors 1 !

The Richmond Enquirer declares its pre. ference for him, because he will sooner let the South go with slavery than let the South come back with slavery. McClellan is the Union candidate. The Richmond Enquirer admits that if "re "construction were possible, it would be "more probable under McClellan than "under Lincoln," McClellan being a "sincere Unionist,". who will sooner let the South come back with slavery than let the South go with slavery. Linco:n's motto is, "the Union if we can, abolition any way." McClellan's motto is, "the Union first, the Union last, the Union any way." For the What are Copperheads, and Who Are They? MR. EDITOR: In looking over the columns of the Pittsburgh Evening Ga aelk of the 20th insti I notice tile follow ing article which explains the meaning of the Term as folloets. "For the ben efitof those who cannot fllld the - word cbpeeillieadin the Dictiei l fiatY, we give the following analysis of it. Conspiracy, Opposition to the war, Pace on any terms, Piracy,- Enmity to the Union, Recognition to 0. S. A, Hatred to the Government, Earnest Sympathy with Traitors, A narchy, Disloyalty, Now Mr. Editor l•wss always at a loss to know who were the copperheads atiout whom there has beet so much said of late. However my mind has hi-cn enlightened by reading in the Daily Commercial of the 28th, an article headed "who the soldiers wilt vote for." The Gazette has informed us what a cop perhead is and now the Commercial tells us whothey are. From the teachings of the Commercial we are to understand that they are all those who vote against the abolitition candidates for office who are claiming the name of Union party candidates. In the Commercial of the above mentioned date you will find the following: The first regular and loyal vote cast by the soldiers in the election this fall, is that of the Vermont men now with General Sheridan. The official returns of the votes from thitty-two (82) COM panics show the following result on the Congressional ticket: Total Union, 713. Copperhead, 47. Union majority, 601. Now, according to the Gazette ,and Commercial, forty-two of these soldiers who have been so nobly fighting in &- fence of theircountry: let. Are conspirators. 2d. They are opposed to the war. 3d. They are in favor of peace on any terms. 4th. They are In favor of piracy. sth. They are enemies to the Union. 6th. They rec ognize the C. S. A.. 7th. They hate the Government they are fighting to sus tain. Bth. They earnestly sympathize with traitors. 9th. They are in favor of anarchy. 10th. They are disloyal. And it may be that since the publica tion of the above vote, that some of these forty-two have given up their lives a sacrifice in defence of the liberties of their country, leaving their lifeless bodies in the cold embrace of death on the gory field of battle. And are the feelings of the bereaved friends who are left behind to mourn their loss, thus to be trampled on and insulted by the pub lication of such articles by the Gazette and Commercial. Would it not be much more to the credit of the editors of these papers to go forth 'as those men have done, and defend their country against armed traitors, than to remain at home and by such publications endeavor to destroy the good name and fair fame of those men, so dearly won in many hard fought battles, and especially those lately fought under the gallant Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley How the Lincoln Committee Gets Its Funds. The Hon, Mr. Raymond, of the "Na tional Union Executive Committee," appears Jost now to be engaged in as sessing every man who, in any way, has furnished supplies to Government.

He was graduated at the West Point Military Academy in July, 1853, and at that time entered the army as a brevet Second Lieutenant of the Pirrit 454ited State§ ' Infantry. During She yc a s 1858'4 and '5 he served in the Iniltiripaigns In Texas. Just 'after ,the breaktng out. , ef the rebellion ,he....Vas made Captain of the Thirteenth Infant ry; ancisertred for several months 14, Si Lbuts as President of a Milithry COmk mission Convened at that place. In December, 1861, he was made 'Quarter 'Master of the Army of the Solithwest, then operating in Southern Missouri, and afterwards in Arkansas under Gen. Samuel R. Curtis. He remained with that army until after the great ' battle of Pea Ridge, in the spring of 1862, when he was appointed Chief Quartermaster on the staff of Gen. Halleck, then in command of the army before Corinth. In May, 1882, he was offered and ac cepted toe command of the Second Michigan cavalry, and from this time he was in his proper element, and his great merits as a soldier in active field ser vice was rapidly developed. Three days after he assumed command (May 30th) he fought and defeated a consider able body of rebel cavalry near Corinth, In eleven days after this he was entrust ed with the command of a brigade of cavalry, and on the Ist of July he vindi cated the choice of his commander by fighting and defeating a rebel cavalry force of nine regiments under the notor ious Chalmers. This action, was so brilliant that it won for him the stet of a brigadier. Thus in one month he won his way, by sheer force of active and meritorious service, from the tank of major to that of general officer. In Sep tember, of the same year, he was given th'e'doiriniand of the Third Division of the Army of the Ohio, then operating undeg Buell in Kentutlcy. Els fought his division with distinguished gallantry and success in the severe battle of Per ryville, in October of that year; and again, with still greater distinction, under Gen. Rosecrans, in the victorious Murfreesboro campaign in December, 1862, and January, 1863. His services at this time were of such distinguished merit that he was made a Major General, to date from December 31, 1862 i From that time on his career in the Tullaho ma, Chattanooga and Chickamuga cairk paigns of Gen.
