Whereat, It is a good thing to render thanks

sees :
Therefore, I, Andrew G. Cortin, Governor

recommend that
THURSDAY, 27th dat of NOVEMBER, isst.,
be set apart by the people of this Common
wealth, as a day ot solemn Prayer and Thanks
giving to the Almighty: Giving Him humble
thanks that He has been graciously pleased
to protect our free institutions and Govern
ment, and to keep us from sickness and pesti
lence and to cause the earth to bring forth
her increase, so that our garners are choked
with the harvest and to look so favorably
on the toil of His children, that industry has
thriven among us, and labor had its reward ;
and also that He has delivered us from the
hands of our enemies and filled our officers
and men in the field with a loyal and intrepid
epirit and victory and that He has poured
out upon us (albeit unworthy) other great
and manifold blessings:
Beseeching Him to help and govern us in
His steadfast fear and love, and to put into
our minds good desires, so that by His contin
ual help we may have a right judgment in all
things :
And especially praying nim to give to
Christian churches grace to hate the thing
Which is evil, and to utter the teachings of
truth and righteousness, declaring openly the
-ttbtle counsel of God :
And most heartily entreating Him to bestow
upon our civil rulers wisdom and earnestness
in council, and upon our military leaders,
zeal and vigor in action, that the fires of re
bellion may be quenched that we being
armed with His defence, may be preserved
from all perils, and that hereafter our people,
living in peace and quietness, may, from gen
eration to generation, reap the abundant

m
lie moral of Gen. M'Clellan.
The removal of Gen. M'Clellan, not
withstanding the multiplied assurances we
received that the event would engender a
wide spread mutiny among the rank and
fffe of the Army of the Potomac, has
failed thus far to create any undue excite
ment. Of tho indefinite number of epau
letted understrappers who were confidently
expected thereupon to beat their swords
into pruning-hooks and allow the light of
their countenances to irradiate no more
the cheerless "tented field" of Virginia,
only some two or three have come to time.
An order from the War Iepartment, di
recting that the names of those officers
who make the removal of Gen. M'Clellan
pretext for tendering their resignations
be stricken from the rolls in disgrace, has
probably had something to do in the
matter, by cooling their too ardent imagi
nations and affording them time to indulge
in a "sober second thought" providing,
of course, there were any officers so dispo
sed in the army in the first place. With
the great mass of the public, the case is
parallel. Some few, ignorant, ill-bred
individuals grumble which was to be
expected ; but by far the larger and more
enlightened proportion accept the fiat of
the Administration as an act eminently
justifiable and fit to be mada, by reason of
the intricate web of adverse circumstances
now surrounding us as a nation, and requi
ring a master hand to deliver us therefrom.
Like the New York Herald a rabid
M'Clellan paper they acquiesce in the
change of commander? as "an act which
means the active prosecution of the Vir
ginia campaign to Richmond, before the
rains, snows, frosts, thaws, and mud and
water of a Virginia winter shall have
again rendered this achievement impossi
ble till the retarn of Spring." This, all
must admit, however, is a pretty large
paper programme for the short space of
time allotted, but God grant its provisions
may be fulfilled.
For a long time after Gen. M'Clellan
had chief command in Virginia, the nation
placed great faith in his ability as a mili
tary chieftain. II is appearance at the
head of ihe army, directly after the first
disastrous defeat at Dull Run, seemed to
inspire confidence all over the country ;
and never did a man enter upon a military
command more firmly supported by the
i enthusiasm of the neonle than did Gen.
M'Clellan. He organized and disciplined
a fine army one of the best and largest
the world ever saw. The people had re
spouded to every call for men and means,
and in the fall of 1862 expected active,
vigorous, decisive operations. They were
disappointed. Months rolled on, in which
followed the disastrous Peninsular cam
paigns. Still the American people, to a
very great extent, clung to "Ltttle Mao,
and would not give him up.
In passing over the eventful period from
the winter of 1861-62 to the present
time, the history of the war records with
unerring finger the complete and utter
failure of the conduct of the campaign.
Gen. M'Clellan has proven himself to
be, if not a totally incapable commander,
at least a wonderfully unfortunate one, in
the long run. He has had ample time
and material to do something, and if una
ble, must give way to somebody who can
His epitaph is carved by himself.
In this connection, read the letter from
General-in Chief Halleck to the Secreta
ry of War, concerning the lack of energy
displayed by our Army in Virginia to
be found on this outside. A reasonably
clear case of that high military offence
known as disobedience of orders is made
out against Little Mac.
President Lincoln, in "taking the re
sponsibility" and giving us-a change of
Generals, has but responded to the voice
of the people, and no act of the Adminis
tration, since the commencement of the
rebellion, has ever met with a more enthu
siastic approval. When this government
is in the agonizing throes of dissolution,
inefficient Generals "augers that won't
bore" must not be kept in the way of
success. Politicians and speculators and
secession sympathizers may denounce and
find fault, but the tin corrupted masses will
continue to do as they have done stand
by the President, and eive his administra
tion their enthusiastic, earnest and uncon
ditional support.
The Scott-Buchanan Difficulty.
Several weeks since, some private cor
respondence and memoranda of General
Scott, relative to the early stages of the
Slaveholders' Rebellion, were made pub
lic. In this corresoondence, which crea
ted quite a sensation in the political world,
the old veteran saw fit to criticfee and
freely condemn the course of the O.
P. F. in not taking measures as he
had it in his power to do to -quell the
insurrection at its very inception. The
documents are lengthy, the topics on
which they treat embracing acts of com
mission and omission of the ex-President
extending over a period of several months
immediately preceding the close of his
Administration.
Mr. Buchanan has written a long an i
elaborate reply to this ''undisguised cen
sure of his conduct," as he styles it, and
endeavors to clear his skirts of the char
ges of imbecility and treason preferred
against him. The effort, however, seems
to be generally regarded as a failure,
leaving him sticking as deeply in the mire
as ever. The principal point in hi3 reply
is, that enough soldiers were not to be had,
when wanted, to garrison various enu
merated Southern forts. That he certain
ly possesses the happy faculty of self
satisfaction at his own deeds and misdeeds,
together with a caoutchouc conscience, is
apparent from the fact that, "after a care
ful retrospect," he calls God to witness
that he "cannot reproach himself," etc.,
etc., with anything, etc., etc., since the
existing troubles commenced. The old
sinner also naively 'observes : "I have
never doubted that my countrymen would
yet do me justice." Which they won't,
we fear, until they hang him !
A brief rejoinder to the ex-President's
letter appears on our outside to day. Al
though writing under difficulties, General
Scott bandies his "points" skillfully,
and has obtained a clear advantage over
his opponent. The truth of history and
the judgment of his countrymen are with
the venerable hero and patriot, and in
thus unmasking one who would feign
conceal his sinful identity with treason,
he has performed for his country the most
signal seivice of his long and brilliant
career.
Poor old Buchanan !
President Lincoln has issued an
order enjoining the strict observance of
the . Sabbath as a day of rest throughout
the army and navy.
SSf We have had no important news
from Gen. Burnside's army, nor, indeed,
from any other army, within the past
week.
flgj-Gen. Fremont has beep ordered
into active service, and placed in command of
the fortifications around Washington,
xactly to the Point.
We ask for the following article, from the
Philadelphia Jforth American, a careful
reading. There is not a sentence too
much .
There is much in the recent military
movements of the national authorities to
inspire the heart of the patriot with hope
lor the future. Ihe delays which rave
embarrassed our progress have at length
awakened the serious action of those who
have the power to change the course of our
armies and generals. It seems to be
recognized that something more than end
less preparations is needed; that patient
waitiusr has produced no fruits, and that.
cj a t
so far from there being an inadequacy of
forces, there are more men than the gen
erals know how to handle.
But more than all, it appears that the
President, the Secretary of War and the
General-in-Chief are now united in the full
determination to make success the test of
all our generals, and to keep changing
them continually, alter failure, until men
shall be found competent to subdue the
reoelhon. Entirely too much trust has
hitherto been placed in the ability ot
commanders, who have nothing but popu
larity and prudence to show as their quali
fications, whose disasters all seem to be
carefully covered up, and whose slightest
actions cf a successful character are mag
nified into tremendous achievements.
This resolution w nothing new for the
Secretary of War and the General-in-Chief,
who have from the beginning taken it as
their rule of action, aa far as they had the
power to carry it into effect. Now that
the President has seen that his amiable
lenience and good nature have been abused j
thatrthe country demands a change of lead
ers, and has made up hi3 mind that the
country is right, the skies are brightening,
and there is a far better look of the future
than ever before.
Let us group together the facts which
induce us to think that a great and sweep
ing change of policy as well as of men has
been inaugurated. Gen. Wool has un
wisely complicated himself with one of the
factions in Baltimore, and lately committed
the blunder of arresting some of the best
and truest Unionists the city contained.
lie is, therefore, snperseoed, and Gen.
Robert C. Schenck, who has fought brave
ly in more battles than any other general
of this war, will take his place as soon as
his wounds will permit him. Gen. Schenck
is a live man, full of enterprise, courage
and ability, and a statesman as well as a
soldier.
General Buell, whose campaigns have
been characterized by the most remarkable
scries of delays, mismanagement and inac
tion, who had lost in the AA est all that
Halleck gained with so great an expenditure
of blood and treasure, is at last finally re
moved and sent to vegetate at Indianapo
lis, while a military court of inquiry is to
investigate his peculiar management. Gen
eral Rosecrans, who has shown himself to
be a man of high capacity, takes his place
in Kentucky, and at the very outset re
ceived a sharp rebuke from the General-
in-Chief for suffering a delay of two days
before leaving Corinth to take his new com
mand. Unable to get Gen. McClellan to pursue
the rebels actively, or conduct the war
with any view to a speedy conclusion, the
government has superseded him and put
in his place Gen. Lurnside, the victor of
Roacoke Island and Newbern, a careful,
industrious, incessantly active man, obedi
ent to orders, and who will do his best to
carry out the views of the War Department
without setting up any special will of his
own further than is the duty of a com
manding General. McDowell and ritz
John Porter are removed from the com
mand of their respective corps, after
delays which seem to the public unaccoun
table. Pope charged Porter with being
the cause of all his disasters, and Sigel's
report 6howed clearly that he was unfit
for his post. Hooker, a real fighting man,
takes Porter 8 corps.
General Curtis has been overhauled for
ln3 strange inaction after the battle of Pea
Ridge, and notwithstanding the responsi
bility of his position, we hope that the in
vestigation will be prosecuted to the utmost
that we may know whether it be true that
he was filling hw pockets by speculating
in contraband cotton, when he should have
been carrying the war into Arkansas. This
is boldly charged against him, and it so
readily accounts for his otherwise incom
prehensible delay and inaction, that his
course must now be fully investigated and
explained.
hue we are very glad to notice this
new policy, we would suggest to the gov
ernment that it is hardly just to the men
whose lives are sacrificed by iucompetnt
or inefficient generals, nor to the country
whose interests are at stake in this contest,
nor to the people who are taxed so heavily
to bear the burthens of the war, that the
officers who cause us such serious losses
should be suffered to escape with a mere
dismissal from active- command. These
officers all have their partisans and adhe
rents, who malignantly assail the govern
ment for removing them, and the change
conveys with it none of the disgrace
which it should in order to be effective.
The service demands that an example
should be made of officers who disgrace
their rank. For the man who jeopardizes
the destiny of his country in this war by
his blunders or negligence, or who causes
the useless slaughter of his soldiers, or
their surrender to the enemy, a mere re
moval from active command is not suffi
cient. He should be tried seriously by
court martial, and, if convicted, punished
severely, by being ignominiously dismissed
from the army, by imprisonment, or by
death. 1
If we may judge by some recent con
versational expressions by President Lin
coln, his leniency toward ineffective and
blundering commanders is based upon a
desire not to "alienate the affections of the
northern Democratic party," to which
organization these officers are said to be
long. AVe care not a fig for parties. AVe
clamored more loudlv and steadily against
Fremont during his Missouri career than
any of the Democrats, and we have not
hesitated to denounce Hunter, Curtis and
other Republican generals when we thought
them wrong.
In the case of those Democratic gener
als, the President commits an egregious
error if he supposes that he can satisfy
the Democratic party by any reasonable
course. Indeed the knowledge that most
of the generals have been Democrats has
emboldened the Democratic leaders at the
North to a display of arrogance and dicta
tion which has become insufferable. After
the recent elections they asserted boldly
that the people had declared in their fa
vor, that Lincoln and his Cabinet ought
to resign, that the emancipation proclama
tion must be recalled, and a national con
vention called, &c, &c.
The President has taken the proper
course by considering the popular elections
as demanding a more vigorous prosecution
of the war, in OTder to ensure which he
has removed the tardy commander, and
will continue to do so until he has purged
the public service of those who have
blocked the way. That is the true method
of answering these arrogant demands for
a resignation of the government. Give
the people what they demand, a pressing,
continual, conquering war. Let ihem see
that the rebellion can be 6ubdued. And
above all, let these Democrats see that the
generals in whom they place their partisan
hopes can be as easily unmade as they are
made by the government. Lot them apply
to the generals the same vigorous course
of prompt dismissals for military offences
which has been practiced toward the sub
alterns, and let the war be completed
thi3 winter.
Frightful Railroad Accident.
From the ITarrrisburg Telegraph, Nov. 17.
The passenger train due here on Satur
day morning on the Penne-ylvania Rail
road did not arrive until evening about
five o'clock. It left Pittsburg on Friday
afternoon nearly an hour after its usual
starting time, owing to sojae detention
on the connecting railroads, but everything
seemed right until they arrived near Lilly
station, some eight miles from Cresson,
where the train was brought to a stop by
the announcment that a freight train was
off the track some two miles ahead. The
passenger train was drawn over the moun
tains by two !rge locomotives and in front
of the passenger train was a very Jarge
freight tram standing on the track on a
high grade. It was drawn by a very large
locomotive in front and another of the
same class was pushing it in the rear.
The front locomotive had been detached
from the train in order to aid the freight
train ahead on the track, and the rear
locomotive was also detached acd taken
down the grade in order to shift it on the
other track.
AVhiie this process was going on and
when the rear locomotive was nearly down
the grade, and in front of the two locomo
tives drawing the passenger train, the
engineer on the backing locomotive, Mr.
Powell bharp, discovered that the whole
train was in rapid motion, coming down
the steep grade on his locomotive, and the
cars filled with passengers. He reversed
his engine in an instant, and rushed up
the grade in order to meet the freight cars
and stop their descent, if possible. In
this he was partially successful, but after
a sliirht check of the freight cars the
whole train came down on the passenger
tram, demolishing the locomotive with
which Mr. Sharp had checked the prog
ress of the train, and also the two locomo
tives which were drawing the passenger
cars. This occurred about twelve o'clock
on Friday night, in the mid?t of the
mountains, or rather a wilderness, and the
scene can be easier imagined than descri
bed. The passengers in the train, mostly
asleep, in the dead hour of the night, were
thus suddenly aroused and throwu from
their 6eats violently, and yet wonderful to
relate, a few of them were only slightly
scratched about the face. These injuries
were mostly sustained from the irons
which are placed on the back of the seats
on which the passenger rests his head.
Passengers in the train relate that the
destruction of three locomotives was al
most complete, together with a large
number of cars.
This tragic accident and miraculous
escape occurred within the limits ot Cam
bria county. The engineer, Mr. Sharp,
in perilling his life as he did for the safe
ty cf others, has performed a deed of hero
ism and lofty daring ffnparal'eled in the
history of the present century. Let his
name be passed from lip to lip. The pas
sengers on the train have taken steps to
present him with a proper testimonial of
their regard.
Bgk, The organization of a portion of
the Army of the Potomac into three gen
eral divisions has been officially announ
ced. The right grand division will be
commanded by Major General E. A". Sum
ner; the left, by Major General XV. B.
Franklin; the centre, by Major General
Joseph Hooker. A reserve, composed of
the .hleventh Corps, with such other
troops as may hereafter be assigned, will
be under the command of JKjor General

The Greatness of America as an
Unit England's Policy .-
From the Richmond Examiner, Nov. 8.
The greatness of America is a recent
revelation to Europe. AVith the North
and South confederated under the old
Government, the United Stales possessed
a military power and an abundance of
resources which her citizens, eveu in the
excefcs of their self complacency, never
dreamed. But few minds in Europe had
any idea of the power of the young giant
in the AArestern World. One or two of
their public men, as Cavour or Napoleon,
mighi have apprehended, by the force of
their genius, the military magnitude of
America. But it was generally a dim
speculation in Europe. Our basis of mil
itary powers were frequently ridiculed by
the English press, and passed as trans
atlantic bluster. But this war has shown
that even these boasts fell far short of the
reality. It has revealed to the world an
enormous power that overshadowed what
ever there is of military display in mod
ern history, and has amazed the most
arrogant nations of Europe.
AVithin eighteen months of this war,
the North and South have raised armies
larger than those of the first Napoleon ;
iron clad fleets have been launched capa
ble of destroving the combined fleets of
Fngland and France; two millions of men
have been put in the field; and yet the
internal system of the industry of the
country and the ordinary pursuits of peace
have been but little interrupted, unless
from the exceptional caue of the blockade
of the Southern seacoast. Had the North
and South continued as one nation, there
could scarcely have been any limits to the
achievements of their military power.
England could never have checked it. 'We
could have overrun the Continent, taken
Canada in the teeth of a combination of
all the European powers, and crushed
England alone as an egg-shell is crushed
under the hammer.
The bloody and unhappy revelation
which this war has made of enormous
military resources, has naturally given to
Europe, and especially to England, an
extraordinary interest in its continuation.
Nothing could be more contrary to the
wishes aud policy of England than that
the war should end in reuniting the North
jnd South and consolidating and renewing
in rivalry to her a military power which
is now wasted in internecine stiife. That
the Union never shall be restored is a
foregone and settled conclusion with the
British Government. It would not now
hesitate for a moment to recognize the
South, unless firmly persuaded of our
ability and resolution to carry on the war,
and unless it had another object to gain
besides that of a permanent division iu the
nationality and power of her old rival.
That object is the exhaustion of both
North and South.
England proposes to effect the continu
ation of this war, as far as possible, to the
mutual ruin of the two nations engaged
in it, by standing aside and trusting that,
after vast expenditures of blod and waste
of resources, the separation of the Union
will be quite as surely accomplished by
the self devotion of, the South as by. the
less profitable mode of foreign intervention.
To the advantages she hopes to gain from
this separation she desired to add those
which she expects from loss and ruin to
both North and South in a long war. Her
present policy of neutrality with reference
to the war is founded in the confidence
that the South is able to achieve her in
dependence, and that the prolongation of
hostilities does not risk her subjugation.
In this unchristian and inhuman calcu
lation, England has rightly estimated the
spirit and resolution of the South. AVe
are prepared to win our independence
with the great prices of blood and suffering
that England has named. But we under
stand her in this n?atter. Behind her
mask of conscic ncc and Pharisaical precis
ion there lurks a hideous and devilish
purpose.
Important to School Teachers.
AVe notice by the November issue of the
Pennsylvania. Sc1iojI Journal, that Super
intendent Burrowes has taken an important
and a highly justifiable step iu regard to
the rights of school teachers. This was
made uccessary by tho fact that certain
directors have been exacting twenty-two
or even twenty-four days from their teich
ers as the school month. "Where this is
done, of course no time is afforded for the
self-improvement of the teachers by the
association and influence of the District
Institutes. Some of the Directors, it is
also alleged, go so far as to insist on open
ing the schools on Saturday, which is a
practical iguoring of the law iu regard to
District Institutes. Secretary Burrowes
requests all County Superintendents to
notify his Department where the school
time is thus insisted upon, and where also
the District Institutes are thereby neglect
ed. If the teacher is not afforded time to
improve his own mind, he cannot be ex
pected to improve the minds of those in
his charge. To use a homely comparison,
the journeyman who works with edged
tools might as well be debarred of the
time to keep those tools in order, and then
be expected to do good work, as the school
teacher could be expected to be successful
without the aid and improvement derived
from his District. Institutes. AVe trust
that no County Superintendent will fail to
comply with the order referred to.

on his taking command of the army:
In accordance with General Orders X0 '

States, I hereby assume command of ttt
Army of the Potomac. "Patriotism 4Lj
the exercise ot my every energy in
direction of thi army, aided by the fu'
and hearty co-operation of its officers anj
men, will, I hope, under the blessing c(
God, insure its success. Having been t

fully identified with them in their feelicr
of respect and esteem for Gen. M'Cllel.
Ian, entertained through a long and icoit
friendly association with him, I feel tr.r
it is not as a stranger that I assume their

AA'ith diffidence for myself, but with t
proud confidence in the unswerving loval.
ty and determination of the gallant army
now entrusted to my-care, I accept iu
control with the steadfast assurance that
the just cause must prevail."
m
t, Many persons are perplexed to If now
why Major General M'Clellan has beej
ordered specially to report at Trenton, X
J. The fact is of no importance, so faraj
the locality is concerned. Perhaps he indl
cated that city as preferable for retirement,
and hence the AVar Department speei6e4
it as a point to which to report. Tb
main object was that he should leave the
army when he should be relieved from ac
tivo duty. He might have indicated thu
city as a place to retire, or he might hav
preferred San Francisco. The Department
is of course indifferent as to the geograph
ical point of retirement of any of those
who are relieved from active duty for a
time. All tnat is required is to havea
fixed locality, so that in case of demand
for their service, a summons to duty eist
reach them as speedily as possible. For
these reasons Gen. M'Clellan was ordered
tn report at Trenton, N. J.
