A letter from Newborn, N". C, dated the 9th
instant, says Gen. Foster's army was at Wil
liamston on the 8th, under marching orders
for Plymouth, and from thence to embark in
transports for Newbern. Recounoisaaces have
been made to within five miles of Tarboro',
aud the rebels found to have massed a large
force there. The rebel saltworks have been
destroyed by the gnnboat Ellis, without loss
on onr side.
A report was prevalent at Harper's Ferry on
the 14th, to the effect that Jackson was still
near Winchester. There are some indications
that he is in the neighborhood of Chester's
Gap, with not over 40,000 men, our forces in
his front preventing his going down. Under
the circumstances he may attempt a raid down
the Valley, but Harper's Ferry is sar.
1 On the 10th, Gen. Kelly attacked Imboden's
camp, eighteen miles south or Moorfleld, Ilar
dy county, Va., and routed him completely,
killing and wounding many, and captured bis
camp, with fifty prisoners, a quantity of arms,
and a large number of horses,' cattle,' hogs,
wagons, etc." The enemy' was entirely dis
persed and fled to the mountains.' '
Gen. Grant advanced and occupied Holly
Springs, Miss., on the 13tb.' Col. Lee, of the

of Gen Van Dorn's staff.
Warrenton dates of the 14th " state that a
rebel brigade, which has been rcconnoitering
our position on the Rappahannock, had left
Jefferson that morning for Cnlpepper. Gen.
Pleasonton's cavalry drove their rear guard
from Jefferson. It is thought the rebels were
evacuating Culpepper. '
By a dispatch from Com. Farragtit we learn
that . Galveston, Corpus Christi, Sabine City,
Texas, and the adjacent waters are now in our
possession. Alt the important towns along
the coast of Texas are now under the control
of the Government.
'At Nashville, it was reported that a fight
took place at Lebanon, Ky., on the 11th, be
tween Keniett's and Walford's cavalry on our
side and Morgan's rebel cavalry.' Seven guer
rillas were killed and 125 captured, and also a
number of horses.
A HEAVY DEFALCATION.
i A week or two since a conspiracy to defraud
the United States government out of import
duties was discovered in the Custom House at
New York, and the matter made the subject or
investigation by the proper authorities. As
the affair involved several of the oldest clerks
and a number of merchants whose integrity
was hitherto unquestioned, it was kept as quiet
as possible until the facts could be ascertain
ed. The disclosures made, show that an
arrangement was made between the merchants
and dishonest clerks in the Custom House; by
which -goods were passed on false invoices
and, no doubt, the sums thus filched from the
government divided among them. The total
loss to the government by these frauds is at
least $100,000, and, it is supposed, that the
merchants who participated in them will have
to pay up the duties to the full amount. One
noticeable fact is, that these defalcations were
discovered by Mr. Barney, the present Collec
tor of the Pott tbst they run through a pe
riod of thirteen years that no person appoint
ed by Mr. Harney has been in any xcay connected
vith this wholesale swindling and that the clerks
implicated art all old clerks ! Some sixteen
or seventeen clerks are implicated eleven of
wh:m were promptly suspended.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE "JOURNAL."
' Liscour Hospital, Washutotok, D. C, I
; November, 6th, 1862 J
Mr. S. J. Row : Sir : I have noticed in sev
eral issues of the Clearfield Republican, occa
sional letters from our Camp here, the con
tents of which are calculated to create an en
tirely erroneous, as well as nn favorable im
pression on the minds of many of the citizens
of Clearfield in regard to the company and its
officers. My object in writing this is, to try
to remove those unfavorable impressions, by
a statement of plain facts as they occurred,
and to show bow easily the most trifling affairs
may be tortured into acts of official tyranny
and neglect. - - - 1;
The first misstatement which I noticed was,
in a copy or the Republican I read shortly af
ter our arrival at Camp McNeal. It was over
the signature of "Soldier," (I think this was
it, nut I am not certain about the signature,)
to the effect, that the first night we spent in
Camp Curtin we had only two tents, and that
the officers occupied these two tents, while
the rank and file of the company were com
pelled to sleep in the open air.' Now, this
was too trifling a story to be taken notice of
by itself, but it seems that several other simi
lar flings were made at the officers, which will
have, unless corrected, a very bad effect upon
the micds of the people of Clearfield. When
we went first into quarters at Camp Curtin, we
received the first day only two tents. Wbife
Capt. M'Cullougb was attending to oar other
wants, Lieut. Row stripped to the shirt and
worked like a man, till he had the tents pitch
ed while many of the company were listless
ly lounging on our pile of baggage, or leaning
against the sutler's counter stuffing them
selves with cakes and ale. That very night
one of the tents was occupied by a member of
our company, (who was sick) and tlbarles
Larriuier and Wra. Miller, who attended him.
The other, we filled with our provisions, and
so much of our baggage as we did not wish to
expose. The Captain, Lieutenant, and my
self, slept in the open space be twee u the tents,
and a very comfortable sleep we had never
thinking what dreadful suffering the rest were
enduring, in just exactly the same situation.
If such trifling occurrences as sleeping in the
field, on a warm summer night, wrapped snug
ly in a heavy blanket, be considered a bard
ship, I don't know how such men will stand
soldiering when it comes to bo in earnest.
The next statement I noticed, wss the reci
tal of the tyranical conduct of the officers in
punishing an old Irishman, who say he has
four sons in the army, for no other crime than
that of being drunk. It is said be had to walk
his beat with a knap-sack , on his back in the
burning sun I don't know how long. I saw
in Camp McNeal, this same old Irishman ar
rested and brought before the Colonel for go
ing out of camp without leave, aud being
drunk and disorderly and abusive in his lan
guage. Now, is such conduct to pass unpun
ished in sny army 1 The punishment, the Col.
gave him was to tie him np to a tree for about
4 hours, when be was released and sent to bis
quarters with a reprimand. Well, after we
came here, this same old fellow went off on a
drunk and stayed two days. When he came
back he was more abusive than ever, and re
fused to obey any order whatever cursing
the officers, and saying he wonld do as be
pleased, &c. The punishment this time was,
he had to pot on bis knap-sack and walk in
front of the officers quarters for about 4 hours
'I am sure not much more in a rather cool
afternoon in the end of October. Surely, if
this be called tyranny and slavery, what will
we call discipline f
There has also something been said, about
onr duties here, and our provisions and hard
living, Jcc." Regarding our duties, I have
nothing much to say. 1 1 am inclined to obey
my superiors without question or murmur. I
think, we can live as cheap here, guarding
new Hospitals, as if we were lying encamped
in one of the forts within half a mile of our
position, to which it might be necessary to
transfer us, and which could be done any time
in a few minute. I guess, the war depart
ment knows where to put us, as well as any
green born in our company. We are amply
supplied with excellent provisions ; (thanks
to the energy and business tact of our Quarter
master, Lieut. Chase). We have fresh bread
every two days, and the bread will keep two
weeks, and not get sour as I have carefully
ascertained by actual experiment. I have,
many a time, eaten a worse article in Clear
field, and thought it wss good. We get fresh
beef twice a week mess pork, ol a superior
quality, the balance or the time. We get
beans, rice, peas, molasses, sugar, alternately
tea and coffee, (not Lincoln coffee), but the
genuine article ; which some of the boys don't
like, because it don't taste like the decoctions
of rye and corn that they have been accustom
ed to.
I bave made here no statements, but what
every man in onr Company knows is in strict
accordance with the truth. 1 have said noth
ing to offend any one who is willing to do his
duty like a man and a 'soldier the others 1
don't csre for." The motives, which actuate
men to write such stuff borne to their friends
in Clearfield, I must either attribute to mali
cious prejudice, or disappointed ambition
but in either case, the truth ought to be told.
Our officers bave always behaved like gentle
men to all or us. I bave heard no complaints
ahout thc-m here ; and, I was somewhat sur
prised to see that, noder the disguise or a fic
ticious name or an anonymous letter, such
cowardly attacks were made upon them. The
Company is getting along as well as any Com
pany in the Regiment; and, without any ex
traordinary difficulties, I hope, will continue
to do so. . My remarks, are the sentiments or
every . man in the company worth minding
and I make them, without disguise, in order
to eorrect the evil impressions made by our
anonymous letter . writers. I hope yon will
publish this for onr aakes, and oblige, ,
Yours, gtc, . Thomas Ljpptu,.

- M'CLELLAN AND BTRBSIDE.
' The following farewell order of Gen. M'CIel
lan, was read to the troops composing the ar
my of the Potomac : "Officers and Soldiers of
the jlrmy of the Potomac: An order of the
President devolves upon Major General Burn
side the command of the army. In parting
from yon I cannot express the love and grati
tude 1 bear to you. As an army you .have
grown up under my care. In you I have nev
er found doubt or coldness. The battles you
hsve fought under my command will proudly
live in our national history. The glory you
bave achieved,' our mutual peril and fatigue,
the graves of our comrades fallen in battle and
by disease, the broken forms of those whom
wounds and , sickness have disabled, are the
strongest assertions which can exist among
men, united still by an indissoluble tie, that
we will ever be comrades in supporting the
Constitution of our country and the nationali
ty of its people." , , ;
The following order was isued by General
Burnside on his taking the command of the
army : . . -..
"In accordance with Generel Order No 182,
issued by the President of the U. States, I here
by assume command of the Army of the Poto
mac. Patriotism and the exercise of every en
ergy in the direction of this army, aided by the
full and hearty co operation of its officers and
men, will, I hope, under the blessing of God,
insure its success. Having been a sharer of
the privations, and a witness of the bravery
of the old army of the Potomac in the' Mary
land campaign, and fully identified with them
13 their feelings of respect and esteem for
Gen. McClellan, entertained through a long
and most lrfendly association with him, I feel
that it is not as a stranger that I assume their
command. To the Nfilfh corps, so long and
intimately associated with me, I ne""d say no
thing. Our histories aro identical. With dif
fidence for myself, but with a proud coficiw'nce
in the unswerving loyalty and determination
of th j gallant army now entrusted to my care,
I accept its control with the steadfast assu
rance that the just cause must prevail."
DISMAY CAUSED BY THE PROCLAMATION.
- From the Richmond Examiner, Nov. a.
"The enormous and rapid increise of the
enemy's naval power in this war is one of its
most painful subjects of interest. This arm
has grown to such size as to threaten us in
many respects more seriously than the enemy's
land forces. Tha Yaukees have now aflo.it at
least 200 vessels of war more thau they could
boast when the war commenced. Lrge aud
active preparations have been made for naval
movements this Winter, and it is generally es
timated that there are uow about 50 irou-cUd
men-of-war building for the Yankee. Govern
ment, beside those afloat."
"There is good reason to suppose that the
Yankee fleet, which is to fall upon our coast
this Winter, will be stranger in point of arma
ment and class of ships than any which has
yet embarked on an o.Tensive movement. The
objects to be accomplished by this naval dem
onstration aro of the most considerable impor
tance. They are to capture our seaports ; to
make their blockade effectual; and to open
avenues of invasion to those districts of. the
South where the Emancipation Proclamation
can, with the beginning or the new year, be
put into practical effect."
"These calamities threatened in the capture
or our ports are grave enough. One graver,
however, and more terrible than all these, is
to come if the enemy can get a bold in the
Cotton States, for putting into operation there
bis emancipation scheme. Great efforts will
naturally be made to keep this pet measure of
the Abolitionists from falling to the ground,
and to see that the wrath which Mr. Lincpln
has bottled for the 1st of January does no go
into a harmless fizzle of soda powder. So far
in the war the enemy's scheme of servile insur
rection has proved a ridiculous failure. The
attempt is now to put it into operation where
we are least defended, to try the poison at the
heart or the South."
Emancipation in the late Elections. The
wisdoms and expediency f President Lincoln's
proclamation of emancipation is fully vindi
cated by the results of the elections. In Del
aware, and Missouri, wnere, as in every other
State, this measure of the Administration was
made the issue before the people, the Admin
istration has been triumphantly supporled.The
people or. these States khow better than
any one else what slavery means and what
emancipation will probably effect. ,They are
competent judges of the question. They are
a jury of experts.' They have lived all their
lives in the midst of slavery, and know its
influence on the social and moral conduct of
the people among whom it exists, and its
blighting effects on individual enterprise and
labor. They have been either actually within
or closely bordering on the theatre of war.
In every aspect in which the question can be
considered, tbey have the particular knowl
edge, which enables them to form a correct
opinion of the propriety of the policy anoun
ced by the President and bis Cabinet, and
tbey have said without hesitation, equivoca
tion, or limitation, "We approve this emanci
pation policy and desire its success." Wash

REPLY OF GEN. SCOTT TO MR. BUCHANAN;.
To the Editors of the National Intelligencer : ;'K
I regret to find myself in a controversy with
the venerable ex-President Buchanan. '
Recently (Oct. 21) you published roy official
report to President Lincoln, dated March 3U,
1861, giving a summary ot my then recent
connection with ourjprincipal Southern torts,
which, lata sorry to perceive, has given of
fence to the ex-President. That result, pure
ly incidental, did not enter into my purpose in
drawing up the paper; but, on reflection, I
suppose that, under the circumstances offence
was unavoidable. Let it be remembered that
the new President had a right to demand of
me rthe immediate Commander of the Army
how it happened that the t incipient rebels
bad been allowed to seize several fortsi and
from the bad condition of others, were l.kely
to gain possession of them also. Primarily
the blame rested on mo ; hence, to vindicate
my sworn allegiance to the Union and proles
sional conduct, the report was submitted to
President Lincoln, at an early day, in his ad
ministration, and recently to the world. -
To that short' paper ex-President Buchanan
publishes a reply ol double the length in the
Intelligencer ol I the 1st instant. My rejoinder,
from necessity, if not taste, will be short, for
1 bold tbe pen in a rheumatic band, and am
without aid de-camp or amauuenais, and with
out a printed document aud my own official
papers. Unable, in uiy present condition, to
make an analysis of the ex-President's long
reply, 1 avail myself of a substitute furnished
by an accidental visitor, who has kindly mar
ked the few points which be thinks may re
quire some slight notice at my hands.
First To account for not having garrison
ed sufficiently the Southern forts named a
gainst anticipated treason and reiellion. Ac
cording to my recommendations, beginning
October 29ih, 1800 ; repeated the next day,
snd again, more earnestly, on December 13th,
loth, 2Slu and 30th, the fcx-President says :
"There were no available troops within reach."
Now, although it is true that, with or with
out the ex-President's approbation.tbeSecreta
ry ot War had nearly denuded our whole eas
tern seaboard of troops in order to augment
our forces in Texas and Utah, I nevertheless
pointed out' at several of the above dates, the
six hundred recruits (about) which we bad in
the liartnir of New York and at Carlisle Bar
racks, Pennsylvania, nearly all organized into
temporary companies, and tolerably drilled
and disciplined quite equal to the purpose in
question besides the flvo companies of regu
lars near at hand, making alont one thou
sand men. These disposable troops would
have given (siyi . two hundred men to the
twin forts Jackson and St. Philip, below
New Orleans; an equal njnnber to Fort Mor
gan,' below Mobile ; a reinfoi Client of one
hundred men to Fort Pickens, Peu-'wcola har
bor, and a garrison of the like number to the
twin fort McKae; a garrison of one bundled
men tor rt Jefferson, Tortugaslsland.andthe
same to Fort PulasKi. below Savannah, which,
like Forts Jaokson, St. Philip, Morgan, and
McKae, had not at the lime a soldier .'e.iving
about two hundred men lor, the twin forts,
Moltrie and Sumter, Charleston harbor, where
there were two weak companies, making les
than ninety men, Fortress Monroe had already
a garrison of some eight companies, one or
two ol which might, in the earlier period of
danger, bave been spared till volunteers could
have been obtained, notwithstanding printed
handbills were everywhere posted in Eastern
Virginia . by an eccentric character inviting
recruits to take that most important woik.
Now, I have nowhere said that either of
those Jons, even with the reinforcements indi
cated, would have a tear garrisons Certainly
not. My proposition was to put eaeb in a
condition, as I expressly said, to guard against
a surprise or coup de-main. (an off-hand attack,
one without full preparation.)
. That these movements ol email detachments
might easily bave been made in November and
December, 18C0, and some of tbem as late as
the following month, cannot undoubted.' But
the ex-President sneers at my .week device,,
for saving the forts. He forgets what the
gallant Anderson did, with a handful of men,
in Fort Sumter, and leaves out of the account
what he might have done with a like handful
in Fort Moultrie, even without further aug
mentation of men to divide between the garri
sons. Twin forts, on tue opposite sides of a
channel, not only giveu a cross-fire on the
head of an attack, but the strength of each is
more than doubled by the dunking fire ol the
other. The same remarks apply to the gallaut
Lieutenant Slemner, with bis handful of men,
in Fort Pickens. With what contempt might
be not have looked upou Ctase cr Bragg, in
front of him, with varying masses of from two
thousand to six thousand men, if Fort Pickens
and its twin Fort McKae had bad between
them only two hundred men! ! ' '
I have thus shown that small gairisons
would at first bave sufficed for the other twins,
torts Jackson and St. Phillip, also. My ob
ject was to save the Union by any means at
band,- all those woiks, until Congress could
have time to authorize a call tor volunteers
a call which the - President, for such . purpose
might, no doubt, bave made without any spe
cial legislation, with the full approbation of
every loyal man in the Union.
Second The Ex-President almost loses his
amiability in having his neglect of the forts
attributed, as he says, "without the least cause,
to the influence of Gov. Floyd." And he
adds, "all of my cabinet must bear me witness
that I was the President myself, responsi
ble for all the acts or the administration."
Now, notwithstanding this' broad assumption
or responsibility, I should be sorry to believe
that Mr. Buchanan consented to the removal
by Secretary Floyd, of 115 thousand extra
muskets and rifles, with all their implements
and ammunition, fr -m their Northern reposi
tories to Southern arsenals. So that on the
breaking out of the maturing rebellion they
might be found without cost, except to the
United States, in the most convenient posi
tions lor distribution among the insurgents.
So also of the one hundred and forty pieces ot
artillery u hicti the same Secretary ordered
from . Pittsburgh to Shi Island, in Lake
Borgne, and Galveston, Texas, for forts not
yet erected. Accidentally learning, early in
March, that under this posthumous order the
shipment of these guns had commenced. I
communicated the fact to Sec'yHolt,actingiror
Secretary Cameron, just in time to defeat the
robb-ry. But on this point we may bear ex
Secretary Floyd himself. , At Riohiuond, be
expressly claimed the honor ot defeating all
my plans and solicitations-respecting the forts,
and received bis reward, it being universally
admitted that but for that victory over me,
there could have been no rebellion. , ; - :
Third Mr. Buchanan complains that I
published, without permission, on January
18th, 1861, my views addressed to him and
the Secretary or War. on October 29th and
30th,- 1860. But that act was caused, aa I
explained to. him at the time, by the misrep
resentations ol my views in one of the earlier
speeches of the same ex-Secretary, after bis
return to Virginia. - - v . -.
Fourth One of my, statements, complain
ing of the joint countermand sent through the
Secretaries or War and the Naw to prevent
the landing at Fort Pickens of Captain Vod
ges' company, unless the fort should bo at
tacked, is cited by the ex-President to prove
a singular want of memory on my part, and a
note from Sec'y Holt is adduced to show that
I bad entirely approved of the inint m,.nt..
mand the day (of January 29th) that it was
prepared. -Few persons are as little liable to
makers misstatement by aceidentas Mr. Holt,
and no one more incapable of making one Dy
design : yet I have not . the slightest recollec-
! tion of any interview with him on this subject.
1 do remember, however, that .Mr. Holt, on
some matter of business, approached my bed
side about that time, $ when I was suffering
from sn attack of pain.' Mr. Buchanan, Mr.
Holt, and myself were all landsmen, and could
know but little of the impossibility of landing
troops on an open sea beach with a high wind
and surf. Mr. Toucey, Secretary of the Na
vy, with officers about him ol intelligence at d
nautical experience, ought to have plainly
seen that it Com. Vodges bad not permission
tri land except in case or an attack ou Fort
Pickens, he might as well have remained at
Fortress Monroe, as the prohibition placed
the rrt, so far as be ' was concerned, at the
mercy or, as the event showed, on the wsnt
of enterprise on the part of the rebel comman
der at Pensacola.
Possibly there are other part or the reply
which a superficial reader may think require
comment or elucidation, and indeed here is
another marked forme by my kind visitor.
Fifth The Ex-President has brought to
gether a Ubaryntn or dates respecting the ar
rival and departure or the rebel Commission
ers, armistices, etc., with which, as I had i.o
official connection, I may have made an un
important mistake or two, but as I bave not by
me the means or recovering the clue to those
windings, I shall not attempt to follow him.
