OR HEL of GENERAL McCLELLAN ON thetfcMANCTPATION PROCLAMATION. THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE CIVIL AND MIL ITARY AUTHORITIES. * HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAO, ) CAMP NEAR SHAKPSBURQ, Md., Oct, 7. $ GENERAL ORDER 1G&. The attention of the officers and soldiers of the Army of the Potomac is called to General Orders No. 139, War Department, Sept. 24th, 1852, publishing to the army the President's proclamation of Sept. 22d. A proclamation of such grave moment to the nation officially communicated to the army, affords to the juenerel Commanding an opportunity of defin ing jspeciffcally to the officers and soldiers the rSwtion borne by all persons in the military service of the United States towards the civ il authoritiesVf the Government. t - The Constitution confides to the civil au thorities, legislative,judicial and executive, the power and duty of making, expounding, and executing the federal laws. Armed forces are raised and supported simply to sustain the civil authorities, and are to be held in strict subordination thereto in all respects. This fundamental rule of our political system is essential to the security of our republican institutions, and should be thoroughly under stood and observed by every soldier. The principles upon which, and the objects for which armies shall be employed in sup pressing the rebellion, must be determined and declared by the civil authorities ; and the Chief Executive, who is charged with the ad ministration of the national affairs, is the pro per and only source through which the views and orders of the Government can be made known to the arinies of the nation. Discussion by fficers and soldiers concern ing public measures determined upon and de clared by the Government, when carried at all beyond the ordinary temperate and respectful expression of opinion, tend greatly to impair and de-troy the discipline and efficiency of troops by substituting the spirit of political action for that firm, steady, and earnest sup port of the authority ofthe Government,which is the highest duty of the American soldier. The remedy for polititical errors, if any are committed, is to be found onlyin tlie action of the people at the polls. In thus calling the attention of this armv to the true position between the soldiers and the government, the General Commanding merely adverts to an evil against wh'ch it has been thought advisable during our whole history to guard the armies of the Republic, tmd in so doing, he will be considered by eyery right minded person as casting no re flection upon that loyalty, and good conduct which has been so fully illustrated upon so many battle-fields. In carrying out all mea suresof public pulicy this army will of course be guided by the same rules of mercy and Christianity that have ever controlled its duct toward the defenceless. By Command of Major General McClellan. JAMES A. HARDEN, Lieut.-Colonel, Aid de-Camp, and A. A. A. G. WHERE ARE THE ARMED MEN ! Groc'ej', Andrew, Blair, of Michigan, and other Abolitionists, promised (be President a Million of Men if he would issue his Emanci pation Proclamation. In vain did Lincoln protest—in vain did he cite the stories ofthe Pope who issued a Bull against the Cornet, and the slave who told his master that his calling a pig's tail a leg, would not make it so. He was assured that if lie would but spread his edict before the People, armed men would spring out of the earth at the stamp of his foot. The Proclamation has been issued, and where are the Abolition Warriors ?—Presi dent Lincoln, alas ! " but can't see them but on the other hand, the Confederate Con gress and the papers of the South are using the Proclamation at a Magic Wand with which to strike new enthusiasm into the hearts of their people. They need some thing to revive their drooping spirits, and it is supplied to them by this Emancipation programme. It has kindled a new fire in the South, and its efiect will soon hp apparant in the swelling of the Rebel ranks, and the in creased desperation with which they will to the conflict. ♦ OLD ABE'S LlST—Somebody—some in quisitive Yankee, likely as' not—asked the 1 .e-ident "S\ hat number ot men have tl e enemy in the field ?" Old Abe looked seri ous, and replied," Twelve hundred thousand, according to the best autherity." The inter rogater blanched in the face and ejaculated My God ! Jhe President continued: " les, sir, twelve hundred thousand men no doubt of it. You see, all of our generals, when they get whipped, say the enemy out numbered them from three to five to one, and I must believe them. We have four hundred thousand men in the field ; three times four make twelve. Don't you see it ?" " Can't see it !"said the bore, as he bright ened up aßd started for his hat. ■. The negro is now bet er than the ! white trash. No taxes n pay -no musket ! to shoulder—no caucases to attend—no risk of life to run—no politics to trouble them. | They are now the happy sons of earth, and we poor white nonsense can fight for them j and pay taxes for a hundred years on their i account. A white man is not as good as a negro now ! have too many generals in this j war. It we are not oat-generated we are over generated. j A number of the western papers are pushing General Harney forward for a com mand.

In Lowell, at a lecture a few evenings since, a gentteman, the most modest man of his sex, and no less polite than modest, was sitting in a pew rather remote from the light. A pret ty lady sat next to him. Looking on the floor during the lecture, he espied what he thought was the lady's handkerchief, the lace trimmed edge just visible from under her dress. Turning to his pew-mate, he gallant ly whispered, " You've dropped your hand kerchief madam !" and before she could re ply he proceeded to pick it up. Horror !he had seized the edge of hci* pet—skirt, and did not discover his mistake until the top of a gaiter boot stared him in the face, and the faint sound of a laugh, just nipped in the bud by the application of a red handkerchief, warned him of his mistake. Moral —Don't attempt to pick up anything with lace to it before you know what it is. RUSTIC SIMPLICITY. A young ladv in one of our " rural dis tricts" was once escorted home from an even ing party by a young man to whom she was not particularly partial. On taking his leave he remarked :—" 1 guess 111 come and see you next Sunday night," " Well, Dill Smith," replied the lady, " you can come as a friend, Lut not as a ' feller.' " Bill didn't go either way. A good story is told of a rustic youth and a country girl, who sat facing each other at a husking party. The 3'outh, smitten with the beautiful maiden, only ventured his sly looks, and then touching Patty's foot under the ta ble. The girl determining to make the youth express what he appeared so warmly to feel, bore with these advances a little while in si lence, when 6he cried out.—" Look here, if you love me, why don't yo.u say so ; but don't dirty my new stockings." AM EDITOR. If an editor omits anything, he is lazy. If he speaks of things as they are, people get an gry. If he glosses over or smooths down the points, he is bribed. If he calls things by their proper names, he is unfit for the posi tion of an editor. If he does not furnish his readers with jokes, he is a mullet. If he does, he is a rattlehead, lacking stability.— If he condemns the wrong, he is a good fel low, but lacks discretion. If he lets wrongs and injuries go uninentioned, he is a coward. If be exposes a public man, he does it to grat ify spite—is the tool of a clique, or belongs to the ''outs." If he indulges in personali ties he is a blackguard ; if he does not, his paper is dull and insipid. TIIE BASHFUL MAM. Doesticks thus describes a bashful young man. " First calls—bell rings—enter bash ful young man—evidently his first attempt at a fashionable visit—cauie in with his hat in his hand—put it behind hiin to make a bow—dropped it—tried to pick it up—stop ped in it—put his foot through it-.fell over it—and, in his frantic struggles to recover himself, bursts his coat, fractures his panta loons, untied his cravat, demolished his shirt collar, and was finally borne to the hall by his sy pathizing friends, minus his patent moustaehe, one half of which was found in Laura Matilda's scrap book, and the rest dis covered in a c>a! scuttle." TIIE BOY'S SPEECH. Neighbor Smith had a party at his resi dence a few evenings since, and the ' : dear boy ' Charles, a five-year-old, was favored with permission to be seen in the parlor.— "Pa" is somewhat proud of his boy, and Charles was, of course, elaborately got up for so great an occasion. Among other extras, the little fellow's hair was treated to a liberal supply of Eau de Cologne, to Lis huge glorifi cation As he entered the parlor and made his bow to the ladies and gentlemen : "Look here," said he proudly, "if any of yon smells a smell, that's me !" The effect was decided, and Charles became the hero of the evening. - -• THE MISSILES AT AMTIETAM. I have been credibly informed that broken railroad iron and blacksmiths' tools, ham- j raers, chisels, <&c., were fired at us from rebel cannon. Some of these missiles made a pe culiat nois#, resembling " which away, which j away," by which our men came to distinguish them from regular shot and shell, and as they j heard them approaching, would cry "tur-> key ! turkey coming J" and fall flat to avoid 1 them. An artillerist, a German, when he i saw the tools hilling around him, exclaimed, ; " My Got 1" we shall have the blacksmith's j shop to come next 1" THE WHEEL. —" Darn me, if I dont believe the world's a wheelbarrow," said a jolly in ebriate as he rolled along the pavement," j and I'm the wheel revolving on the haxes j Now I'm in the mud, " said he as he fell headlong in the gutter," and now I'm on dry land," as lie fetched up on the curbstone.— Ilis concluding remark, as his boots followed his head down an open ctller way was, " now the wheel is broken and the vehicle is i out of repair." I" my time, miss," saki a stern aunt," the men looked at the women's faces instead of their ancles." "Ah! my dear aunt," retorted the young lady, " you see the world has improved, and is more civilized than it used to be. It looks more to the on derstanding." LIT Prentice says : " A chap sometimes j comes in our office and sits hour after hour without telling one word of truth during the whole time. He can outsit a hen, outlie the devil."
