NTTSBURG-11, NOVEMBER 29, 1892
The War.
From the Army of the Potomac there is
but little reported. We are still to be eon
teuted with promises. Let not the public
impatience, however, impel the army to at
tempt things impracticable. Our Generals
cannot do ns they please, nor can they exe
cute as they may be ordered. There is an
enemy before them. They must " count
the coat" of a battle, and if their forces are
inadequate, it is their duty a avoid bring
ing on a conflict. The advance of the army
from the Potomac river, on the South of
the Blue Ridge, to Warrenton and the
Rappahannock, was accomplished in a week,
and was, in the circumstances, among the
most rapid on record. But there it expe
rienced a change of commanders, a halt, a
deflection to Fredericksburg, and then an
obstruction. The reports of last week in
dicated that a part of Gen. Burnside's army
was in that, city,; it was only at the city,
the river intervening.
To cross• the Rappahannock, at Freder
icksburg will be a hard task, while the ene
my is there in 'force. The river is broad,
and must be bridged. Pontoons may be
used, but still there may be delay. Then
there are the Matapoony, North Anna,
South Anna, and Chickahominy, before
you reach Richmond. These are small
rivers, but they need bridges, and to force
their passage will both delay an army and
'cause waste. To reach Richmond 'by Gor
donsville, with Gen. Burnside's army, and
such a foe to contest the passage, was im
practicable. That, we have along stated.
And to reach it by Fredericksburg will be
exceedingly difficult, unless a division of
the enemy's forcee is made by an approach
from some other Quarter. By the Penin
sula, we still insist, is the way, using the
James river, or the York, or both. A
modification of this way would be, by the
AppomatoK, and through Petersburg, taking
Richmond on the South.
The people must be patient. Haste has
caused delay, hitherto. Let us learn wis
dom by. our disappointments. Give our
Generals the army they want, and the
equipments, and the naval forces to cobp
erate, and the requisite time, and they, if
they are as able and prudent as some of them
are, will give us' victories.
Vioxemnth is now the centre of attrac
tion in the South-west. As we look around
we find every thing tending thither. It
will be remembered that; last Summer, our
progress in clearing the Mississippi was
not only , ehecked
,there, but stopped. The
fleet of Farragut, which had penetrated to
New Orleans, (lame up ; and the fleet of
Foot, and Davis, which had taken Island
No. Ten, Fort Pillow, and Memphis, went
down; but both together failed to capture
Vicksburg. Its location is 'Such that a
land force is indispensable. This force,
conjointly with a fleet, has been for months
in a course of preparation, and is now tend
ing to a concentration on the. devoted city.
Gen. Grant is preparing his army to ad
vance inland by Holly Springs. Gen. Mc-
Clernand is collecting large forces at Cairo
and' Columbus, to descend the river. A
part of Gen. Seofield's army of South
Western Missouri, has returned to Rolla,
thence to be transported to St. Louis, and
thence embark for the scene of action.
Many large steamers have been ordered to
St. Genevieve, Cape Girardeau, and other
places on the river, to take troops to unite
in the expedition. We trust soon the riv
er will' be opened to our trade, through its
whole length. And Vicksburg in our
possession, will be a basis of operation to
ward the interior of Mississippi, the inte
rior of Arkansas, and the' - North of Loui
,
shine and Texas.
Government Credit.
About thirteen and a half millions of the
loan authorized by Congress, for three years,
at seven and three-tenths per cent., had
never been offered, Secretary Chase lately
concluded to put it into the market; but
wanting some money a few days before the
stock could be sold, he sent a telegram to
New. York asking for an advance of $12,-
000,000. The money was forthcoming
within twenty-four hours.
And the bide for the stock alluded to,
were meet encouraging. Over thirty mil
lions of dollars were offered, nearly all at a
premium of from two to four per cent.;
and the whole loan was awarded, at rates
above three per cent. The premium
amounts to 8452,000. Government credit
is good
It is true that the Government standard
of money is, by the course of trade with
foreign countries, reduced to thirty per
cent. below gold. But that is a matter of
our own. If we choose to deal abroad for
no morettian we can pay in- produce, gold
will fall, and Government currency will
rise. Ind if as rapidly as the people get
U. S. notes they put them into U. S. six
per cent, stocks, which they are authorized
to do; then gold and notes wilt soon more
nearly approximate in value. :But what
ever may be the nominal discrepancy, the
real difference will be little to those who
wish to save money. The GOvernment
pays its interest promptly, in gold ; and,
when the war is over, if successful,
Government stocks will soon become hater
than gold. It is only igpfoo of the knopess of
the rebellion, that gold laid ky will be the
better investment. If we had gold now
which we did not need for use, we would
by no means board it. By so doing we
might have , it, when peace would come, but
the intereif Would be lost. We would rath
er buy publkstiwks, and thus gain the thir
ty per cent premium, and the six per cent.
annual interest ,on the: principal and the
premium, and then i t v have that which,
would be as good as
7 gold,
,or better, on the
return of peace: 341''1'
We do not ask our readers thus to dispose
of their money; hut if we had money to
lay by, whether gold or notes, such is our
faith in the stability, success, and honesty
of the Government, and such is our patri
otism also, as we trust, that we would sus
tain the public credit and help on the war,
by investing a portion of it in the public
stocks.

The Continental Monthly.
The December number of this ably conducted
Monthly, is on our table. It contains a third
article on The Union, by Hon. Robert J. Walker,
and an article on The Causes of the Rebellion,
by Hon. F. P. Stanton. Both are well worthy a
perusal. There are other excellent articles.
The's°lid worth of this periodical must-bring it
into great favor in an intelligent community.
The ],New-York Legislature.
The Senate, by reason of members holding
over, is strongly Republican. Of the other
branch, the Albany Journal says: " The com
plexion of the Assembly is exactly this: Sixty
four Republican Union, elected over Democratic
opponents ; sixty..three Regular Democrats, and
onewho his'alwaYs acted with'the Republicans,
but was nominated by both Conventions, and of
course elected without opposition."
Gen. McClellan in New-York.
A visit of Gen. McClellan to New-York, on
the 20th inst., was the occasion of some excite
ment at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The calls to
see him were numerous. He stated, in reply to
some questions, that he could not, under any
circumstances, accept of a public reception, and
while he appreciated the kind feelings of those
who would this honor him, it would - not be prop
er for him to accept such a demonstration.
He was serenaded in the evening by the band
of the 7th Regiment, and yielded to repeated de
mands for a speech. His remarks are thus re-
My FRIaDS : I thank you cordially for this
spontaneous tribute of regard. I accept it, not
for myself, but for the Army of the Potomac,
which I once commanded, and in which you are
so deeply interested. [Tremendous and contin
ued cheering. Three cheers for the " Army
,of
the Potomac."] Every battle, from Yorktown
to Antietam, has added new proofs of the cour
age and devotion of the citizen soldiers of New-
York, and has,increased the great debt of grati
tude due to them by their country. [Cheers
No portion of this broad republic has more lav
ishly poured out its millions of treasure and
thousands of brave men in the cause of our coun-
try than this great metropolis- [Cheers.] At
the commencement of the struggle no community
was more prompt in responding to the appeal of
the Government for aid. No community has a
greater stake in the success of our cause than
this, none is more closely bound by the ties of
kindred to the army with which I have been so
long associated. [Great cheering.] I, there
fore, and my former comrades with me, will feel
doubly honored by the , occurrences of this eve
ning, and it is with a heart full to overflowing
with gratitude that I again thank you for your
presence-.to-night. [Great cheering.]
You know that I am still a soldier, therefore
you will expect no speech from me, and will now
permit me . to say, Good night. [Long-continued
cheering.]
Party politicians tried to make themselves
prominent on the occasion. This was exceed
ingly' in:judicious ; and, if persisted in, it must
be deeply injurious to the General. He belongs
to no party. He is a national Man. The nation
needs his military knowledge and talents. He
feels himself consecrated to the country, till the
war shall be ended ; not at liberty even to de
fend himself, when that defence might cause
divisions, or alienate the public from the public
officers. Politicians, however, will be injudi
cious; but our hope is that the General will be
able to keep himself, so far as his, own words
and deeds are concerned, from all party political
commixtures. He has a country to serve; and
just now, he can serve her best in patient and
silent suffering ; and by so keeping himself, he
will be in the best condition to do service if she
should again gall him..to military activities.
The following-is an extract from his letter de
clining the hospitalities of the metropolis :
"I feel most deeply this action of the munici
pality, which I regard as one of the highest hon
ors which can be paid a citizen of our country.
At this particular moment it is peculiarly' grati
fying to me to hotline assured of the good feelings
and regard of the authorities of our greatest city.
I I trust, that they reflect the sentiments of their
constituents. At any other time I would grate
fully accept the proffered honor, but I do not
feel that it would be right for me to do so while
so many of my former comrades are enduring
the privations of war, and perhaps sacrificing
their lives for our country."

A Victory in Louisiana.
*Gen. Butler reported to Gen. Halleok, the fo
lowing; under date of Nov. 2d :,
I have the honor to recount a very successful
expedition, under Gen. Weitzel, of the 'prepara
tion for the march of which I have.previorisly
informed the commanding General,
Gen. Weitzel' landed at Donaldschwillefsed
took up hie line of march on Sunday, the ,28th of
October. About nine miles beyond Donaldson
ville he met the enemy in force ; a sharp engage
ment ensued, in which he lost eighteen killed and
sixty-eight-wounded. Full lists of the casualties
have been received and published.
The commanding officer of the enemy, Col.
MoPheeters, , waa killed, and the enemy lost quite
a large number in killed and wounded.
Two hundred' and 'sixty-eight prisoners were

means of the railroad got away before our gun
boats could cut off their retreat, the naval force
having been delayed by a very severe storm.
Gen. Weitzel writes to Gen. Butler some de
ails :
THIBODEAUX, La., Nov a 1, 1862
MAJ c e my last dispatch I have received
information that the enemy has evacuated Ber
wick's Bay, and in such a hurry (as our gunboats
were in sight) that they left over 400 wagon
loads of negroes behind at Brasheur City. To
substantiate this report, the negroes are already
returning. Now, what shall Ido with them?
I have already twice as many negroes in and
around my camp as I have soldiers within.
I cannot feed them; as a consequence, they
must feed themselves.
The community, of whom already quite a
number have taken the oath of allegiance, is in:
great terror, fearing trouble with the negroes.
They beg me to allow - them to retain their
arms. I cannot do this without authority from
headquarters.
Last night my pickets were fired upon by some
person armed with a shot-gun. This would make
it prudent to allow only those to retain arms who
have taken the oath or are paroled. Please to
give me instruction on this point.
There is plenty of sugar here. I have already
collected a large number of cavalry and artillery
horses and mules. Please now organize that
railroad properly, with a Superintendent and
proper employees, so that we may run regular
trains and not have our rolling stook ruined by
bad management.
I have sent a foroe to Berwick's Bay to take
possession of the road from Tigersville to Ber
wick's Bay, communicate with the gunboats and
repair the bridges across Bayou Boenp.
I will have the bridge 'across Bayou Lafourche
completed, at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and the
bridge at Terrebonne will be completed to-mor
row.
Then, when the' Bayou Bourf bridge is ready,
the whole road will be Fall right to Brasheur
City.
All the .planters. nearly, wish to make their
very excellent this year's crop, if I will order
back their negroes,'or allow them to make some
arrangements with them.
Southern News.
The Richmond Examiner speaks of the utter
hopelessness of recognition by foreign powers so
long as the war lasts, and says this is not the
doctrine which has heretofore exited among na
tions. France recognized the Colonies long be
fore the war ended. But thank Heaven we are
not dependant on the favors of outsiders. While
we should like our justly defined rights, we owe
our dependence on none but Him who rules
among the nations. We will but arouse ourselves
the more and - fight the harder.
A telegraph to the Richmond Enquirer, dated
Raleigh, N. C., N0v.:17, says: A gentleman from
Albemarle says there are no Yankee gunboats
on the Albemarle Sound; they , having gone up
the James river. This is explicable by either
hypothesis that,the enemy are coming upon us
from Fredericksburg, or are about to be trans
ported:from the Suffolk line of. advance. It in
dicates work, however, on one side or the other.
The news from the United States 'tells us that
the Monitor has steamed down the Potomac 'from
Washington, perhaps to take part in the move
ment.
The Potomac river, says the Examiner,,is cov
ered with vessels, and it is not improbale that
Gen. Burnside is at this time embarking his army
at points along the Potomac; Acquia Creek and
Potomac Creek, for the real point of attack on
Richmond. The main , column for this attack
will, it is supposed, move via Suffolk, and the
lesser columns from other points.
The negro market has shown considerable ac
tivity the present week. A mother and seven
children were sold for $5,100.

ENGLAND
The English Government has,dissented from
the French proposal for, mediation.
The London Gazette Publishes Earl Rusiel's
official reply, dated November 'lBth. It recapit
nista+ the circular of Dreuyn de L'Huys' proposi
tion of mediation. It recognizes the humane_
views and benevolent intentions of the Emperor,
but observes that the concurrence of Russia
would be expressly desirable; but up to the
present time the Russian Government had not
agreed to actively cooperate, although it may
support the endeavors of England and France.
The question for consideration was, whether
the end proposed was' attainable at the present
time. Earl Russel 'then presents the decision
of Her Majesty's Government, as follows :
After weighing all: the information received from
the American Government, he is led to conclude
that there is no ground at the present moment'
to hope that the Fedeial Government would ac
cept the yroposal suggested, and a refusal from
Washington at the present timewould prevent
any speedy renewal of the offer. Therefore, he
thinks it better to watch carefully the progress
of opinion in America, and if it should appear,
as there, is reason to hope, it may be found to
have' 'undergone or may undergo any change,
this Government may then avail itself of such
change to offer friendly counsel, with a greater
prospect than now exists of its being accepted
by the contending,partiee. Her Majesty's Gov
ernment will communicate , to the French Gov
ernment any intelligence they may receive from
Washington or' Richmond, bearing on this im
portant subject.
The Times editorially observes of Earl. Rus
sel's dispatch, that hie arguments have been an
ticipated by the, publie, and this is the best proof
of their soundnese.
Earl Russel'a 'dispatch produced no effeet corn
, ,
The Paris Moniteur says the answers of Eng
land and Russia are an adjournment of the
American, question of mediation. The Aroniteur
adds : If our information is correct, the hesi
tation of England and Russia nearly reaches its
limit.

,Before
stricken by the hand of disease, she seemed to
have a presentiment that her days were well
nigh numbered. This feeling' she expressed to
her daughters; and to her pastor, upon his first
visit to her bedside. God seemed to say to her,
Set thy house in order, for thou shalt die and
not live." She -obeyed the voice, and prepared
to - meet her God. Her faith in him as a cove: ,
nantheeping God was strong. During a painful
sickness Of four weeks we heard not 'a murmur, nor‘
a deeire to live.' Her language WELES, "Net my will,.
but thine be done.' In life she loved to talk of
Christ and the interest, of -his kingdom'; in death
‘she leaned upon him as her only support. When
asked; who should take care of her Youngest
daughters, she replied, ":I =give them both to
God." May we not hope-that .a mother's cense

The subject of this notice was born in Newton,
Connecticut., September 80th, 1786, of parents
descended from the earliest English settlers in
the New-England colonies. Having enjoyed the
best advantages of the country in early youth,
she was suddenly taken from a Seminary in
Vermont in 1804, to accompany her father's
family to Western Pennsylvania, then the •far
West." Residing a short time in this place (at

removed to Ohio and thence to Indiana, where,
in 1808, the deceased was married. She re
turned with her husband in July of the same
year to Washington, where she passed the re
mainder of her life.
Mrs. M'Giffin became the mother of nine chil
dren, seven of whom still survive; and all of them
save one, surrounded her in her last illness. Her
husband's death had left her to a widowhood of
about twenty years. She has now been gath

which she lived. , Especially, will she be remem

wed by the older class of our people as one of
the most active and useful ladies in the history
of the town.
Her religious life was strongly marked. Her I
connexion with the Presbyterian church of this
place dates from 1816, when she made a profes
sion of her faith in. Christ. It is believed that
she was , one.of , the, original teachers of the Sab
bath School organized inthe same year—a school
Which is one of the oldest in the country, , and
now in its fertpsixth year, is Surpassed by few
in size and usefulness. Every other good work,,
also, enlisted her hearty coliperation. 'None sur
passed her in sympathy- and aid in behalf of the
sick. The poor always found her a friend. She
was steadfastly among the faithful few in the
plaies of social prayer. Her religion was illus
trated in her daily life, and at the same time
sought th) hiding-place when responsibility was
to be met,' fidelity' to be put to the test, in: odium
to be encountered for Christ's sake. The various
causes of Christian beneficence received, the
willing contributions of her purse : Her several
rotors ever, found in her the,freshness of Chris
tian sympathy. She was one, of the most deci
dedfriends of the chureh. And, in behalf of her
children, i she was all,that is meant 1:ly a wrest
ling mother..
She was remarkably, calm_ in the prospect of
death, wondering only atler,own. triumph over
doubt and fear. Her last earthly arrangements
were made without trepidation, and with ihankii
to God that she could thus-dispose of , each lin
gering care, whilst she committed her. spirit into
the hands of Jesus. Her dying' struggles were
severe, but her faith was' unmoved. To her
weeping children she would say: "I *mild that
ye were as `I am, except these bonds ; weep not
for me—all is well." And thus she "fell
akeep:"
Lift not then;the wailing voice,
Weep not, 'tisa Christian dieth—
Up where blessed Saints rejoice,
Ransomed now, the spirit flieth ;
High in heaven's own light she dvrelleth,
Full the 'song" of triumph swelleth ;
'Freed from earth and earthly failing,
Lift for her no voice of wailing:"

The Res. Dr. ALDIEg, late Pr-mident of Jefferson College,
proposes to give a coarse of Instruction to a Class of Young
Ladies who nave finished their School Education. He will
meet the Claes one hour a day, four days in the week, from
the first of November to the first of May. No text.books will
be used; but, in connexion with the discussion of topics,
references will be made to the beet authors, for the benefit of
those members of the class who have leisure for reading.
The course will be conducted In such a manner, that those
who can command one hour daily, can secure all its stir
taps. Dr. A. will endeavor, by questionings and oral die
cuselons, to lead his pupils to perceive truth for themselves.
An experience of more than a quarter of a century spent In
teaching, has convinced him that he can best benefit his Ml
pile by placing them face to face with truth, without the
Agency of books. Words cannot, then, he easily mistaken
for things.
Special attention will be given to the expression of thought
by word and pen.
It Is presumed that the members of the proposed class
have acquired, from the study of books, such a degree of
mental discipline and such a knowledge of facto as will ren.
der them prepared for the higher grade of instruction suited
to the most advanced class in college.
The following subjects will receive attention:
letestaaextrar. PHILOSOPHY.
2. MORAL PHIIMEOPHT.
N. PRINCIPLES OF RHETORIC Mw CRITICISM AND ENOLIMI
LITRICATINLE.
4. POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY, including
PRINCIPLES OF GOVERNMENT,
PRINCIPLES OP LIGISLATION,
CONSTITUTION - OF TNN IrninD Suns,
Pounces. ECONOMY,
INTERNATIONAL LAW.
5. Nenrum, Tat= 07..
8. EVIDENCES OF OHRIATIAN/TE.
On these topics, the. pupils will be led, as tar as may be, to
perceive troth far themselves.
At the close of each exercise, Dr. A. will remain to criti
cise an essay prepared by a member of the class Re will
aiso be ready, at. all times,, to give advicene to, reading and
other departmente of mental'effort.

I have examined, with pleasure, a plan proposed by the

young ladies of this city. The plan is an excellent one, and,
carried,oat under the personal supervision of Dr. Alden. one
of the most philosophic and distinguished educators in this
country, cannot fail , of proving highly beneficialtothosowho

HORACE WEBSTER.
From Rev. a /retirees Prime D.P., Senior Editor of the
Nem-York ' Observer.
It has given me much satisfaction to hear that the Rev. Dr.
Alden is about to enter upon the work of Education in this
city. He comes from the presidency of Jefferson College,
where he has been eminently successful in ail relations, be
ing compelled by the health of the•family to change his,real
deuce. In his professorship at Williams, and his presidency
at Jefferson, he acquired a wide and' well-earned reputation
as a teacher, combining with thorough and varied scholar
ship, a peculiarly, facile, genial and pleasing method of im
parting knowledge, making the mysteries of science easily
intelligible to the young, and rendering the abstruse studies
of the higher departments of learning a pleasant pursuit.
The plan that he now• proposes, will not fail to be appre
ciated by parents Who desire to give their daughters the ad
vantages of the highest•finish in , intellectual:culture, under
circumstances peculiarly favorable to their improvement and
enjoyment. s-TREN,Fgua PRIME.

I do this the more readily in regard to Hoofland's German
