(ten. Pope’s Official Keport.
Ou the first page of this paper, we have pub
lished the official report of Maj. Gen. Pope, of
his late campaign in Virginia. It w ill be read
with interest. Gen. P. makes statements which
show very great wrong somewhere. We are
not blind to the fact that he is accustomed to
making florid reports; that lie reported four
times tlie number of his killed and wounded;—
whether to give more importance to his battle,
or through an honest mistake, we know not;—
we are aware that when near Corinth, he re
ported large captures from the enemy which
no one else has been able to discover, but alter
all these considerations arc allowed their full
weight, we cannot avoid the conviction that
Pope was suflered to fail in his recent struggle
through somebody’s fault.
He lixes the blame upon certain Generals
whom he nainTS, but when the other side is
presented it may turn out that those whom lie
blames had their reasons for non-action, and
are not entitled to the censure that his state
ments imply that they deserve. One thing is
pretty clear, that the country is allowed to
suffer through the strength of red tape. It is
to be feared that West Pointers and civilian
volunteers do not harmonize w ith that exact
ness which patriotism would desire.
It seems strangely inconsistent with the
great purposes of this war that men should
stand too much on punctilio—on mere eti
quette. Somebody, it would seem, knowing
I’ope's necessities, knowing the severity ol the
struggle in which he was engaged and the im
portance of his being sustained, did not sus
tain him as they might, because they had re
ceived no orders to do so ! This is what we
call being held back by red tape. It is too
much like the common constitutional objec
tion to dealing severely w ith traitors—that w e
must be careful how we hit them lest we go
beyond the express provisions of the Constitu
tion ! Gen. Jackson never acted upon an v such
principle. If he fount! a rebel in arms he would
first disarm him and thou defend himself as best
he could; if he found a traitor, and the salva
tion of tlie country demanded his hanging, he
would save his country by hanging him first,
and look up the authorities afterwards. We
mean to say by these references to Jackson,
that prompt action is sometimes necessary .and
that neither ceremony, formality, etiquette nor
vague scruples about authority, should hold us
back when the death grapple between right
and wrong is being exhibited before us. The
highwayman must lie knocked down; the arm
of the assassin must l>e paralyzed; the torch of
the incendiary must be extinguished, and not
till after three things are done should we stop
to hunt up officers to make arrests, or trouble
ourselves about precedents or authorities.
While Generals stand on punctilio and are wait
ing for orders, it is possible that the most gi
gantic disasters may happen.
The pluck that wins was well exhibited on
the Peninsula—at Winchester we think—when
our own Gen. Berry, knowing the critical sit
uation in which Ilciutzelman was placed,with
out wailing for orders, rushed to the rescue,
and was barely in time to turn the tide of bat
tle and save the fortunes of the day. llad he
waited for orders t he day would have been lost.
Heintzelman—military man as he is—prized
such manliness of the down east officer, and
was so elated at his timely interposition that
he actually embraced him, throwing his strong
arms around him, and holding him close to his
warm, generous, grateful,German heart.
“Hard up tor a Henson.”
Under this head the Bangor Times Hies into
a spasm because we suggested, as one of sev
eral reasons lor the changed vote in this part
of the State, that a large proportion of the men
who had gone to the war were republicans.
We made tlie suggestion, not from any such
motives ns the Times intimates, yet we a-sert
its correctness. We do not intimate—we would
no—that the democratic masses are any less
patriotic than the masses of the republican par
ty ; but we know that in some towns in this
county and Oxford .and in many in York,
certain influential democrats have done all
they could to discourage volunteering, and in
some instances, under their lead, towns have
voted bounties, not to volunteers but to draft
ed men.
Of course the influence of such men—men at
heart opposed to tlie war—was to prevent vol
unteering among those whom they could con
trol—their own political friends—while they
could iuive no iuliueiice upou those opposed to
them. Volunteers were to lie called from the
State before election; drafted meu would !«•
at home at election. In Franklin County, we
arc told, the Democrats have actually furnish
ed a majority of the volunteers. That county
lias been less under sueli influences a- we have
referred to. So or Ienobftcot. But where
leaders have denounced the war as unholygind
have insisted upon compromise ami conces
sion, why should they not oppose volunteer
ing,and use their influence to keep their friends
from the war? YVe are not behind our Bangor
cotemporary in party or in political abnega
tion in this hour of peril, but we cannot close
our eyes to fart*, nor shall he try to do so.
Can White Laborers do Plantation work.
The New Orleans Delta of August 26th,
thus summarily disposes of tills question:
We wish we could remove one fallacy from
the Northern mind, and that is the fallacy that
lalsir pe*ft> lined by negroes on the plantations
of the South cannot Ik; done by white men.
\Y e say it. can; and it can he done cheaper and
better. Intelligent am) independent Southern
ers will admit this. YY by, the white farmers
of tlie YY’est, in their harvesting season, work
and are happy ami healthy, under a sun quite
as oppressive as that of this latitude. The
hod-carriers of the North, with no wool to
shield their heads, work as no negro multi w ork,
in a sun quite ns broiling as nnylhing experi
enced in a rice field or a cane brake. YY e
throw these assertions out lor the examination
of the philosopher and the statesman. And w e
will anticipate events so far as to say that a
sugar plantation will be worked in this State
by white men before the year is out.
Don't, then, lielieve those who tell you that
a w hite man can’t do what a negro can. lie
can do all that a negro can do, in the way of
laboring in the sun, and ever-so-inuch more.
McCi.km.ax ami thk Akmy.—The YY'n»h
ingtoii correspondent ol the Chicago Tribuhe,
will! lias heretofore had many harsh tilings to
say of Gen. McClellan, writes in his last letter:
"1 ha ve disl»'lieved the reports of the army's
affection for McClellan: being entirely unable
to account for the phenomenon. 1 cannot ac
count for it to my satisfaction flow, but 1 ac
cept it as a tact. Even Gen. lleintzelman,
whose entire disbelief in Gen. McClellan’s
ability is w* ll known, said forty-eight hours
ago that h«* vva> the only man in whom the ar
my as s whole, had confidence: tin* only man
who could lift it out ol its present demoraliza
tion. Gen. lieintzeltnau, as well a© other wit
nesses not especially friendly to McClellan,
testified to the enthusiasm with which the sol
diers wee med their old commander.”

gclitnr* of l’resut:’—In my last I promised
yon a still further account of our Maine troops,
hut before doing ho let me give you the loca
tion of our surgeons, scut out here by our
worthy Governor. I)is. Dana, Kohinson, and
Foote, are stationed at Armory Hospital; Drs.
Fogg and Chadwick are on Held service, at
tached to tlie Oth Maine regiment, now at
Druincsville, about 1'2 miles from this town.—
Gen. McClellan’s headquarters are at this
place, ami this day he moves eight miles above,
sending tlie army forward in advance. I stop
ped with Gen. Howard, at his headquarters,
long enough to wish him God-speed. He is in
good spirits, and ready to lay down his life for
his country, liis brother, attached to his
stall' as lieutenant, has just returned from
M ainc, and to-day took his post with tlie gen
eral. although yet suffering from his wound at
Fair Oaks.
While I sin writing this tlie order to move
is being obeyed, liegiineots, brigades and di
visions are in motion, and should 1 tell you
tliut tile force here at Ibis point w ill not tall
far short of 100,000 men, it w ill not be esti
mating the number too low. The material is
wdiat would lie called the best fighting materi
al of tlie army of tin* Potomac. Willi the po
sition taken by Burnside and Ids forces, I can
safely say that when tills blow is struck, which
will be in a few days, our arms w ill be success
ful.
At this place I found the 10th Maine, al
though in advance some two miles, mustering
only about 200 muskets; yet I was informed
they were ready with their small numbers to
do their duty. This regiment has seen a great
•leal of hard service. They consider tlie ser
vice of the ltailroaii Brigade, at the present
time, a luxury well worth receiving from tlie
hands of the government. Their Brigadier is
not a very popular man, nor a very efficient
man, being considered a paper Brigadier rather
than a lighting one.
Tlie Maine batteries, together with tlie 5th.
(1th and 7th regiments, of Franklin’s Division,
arc at this point, having come from tlie vicinity
of Alexandria since Sunday.
Tlie Maine cavalry have seen a great deal
of bard service, as is well shown by their
horses. They informed me that for weeks,the
forage for their horses had been very lightgind
the dutv verv hold.
All the Maine regiments had received more
or less recruits from Maine, to till them up,yet,
still more are wanted.
Tlie ambulance train from Centreville and
Bull Kun, daily brings our wounded in. On
Monday morning, between four and live hun
dred were brought to Washington, having left
Bidl Bun Sunday noon at 12 o'clock. These
men had laid on the battle-fieidaiuccthe liattie
on Friday and Saturday—eight and nine days
exposed to tlie weather, with all tile sufferings
around. This great crime can be credited to
Gen. I’ope, he having refused to allow this
train to pass on tlie haltle-llcld under a tlag of
truce. It is fortunate that tills man was re
lieved of liis command. 1).
£ - Parson Brownlow lias written and
published a characteristic letter to tlie Gov
ernors of tlie loyal .Slates, advising them to
meet together and urge upon tlie civil and
military authorities certain considerations, a
few of which we copy:
“First. Prge the government to draft, with
out delay, a liaJf a million of men, in addition
to tin- force already ill tin- Held and in camps
of instruction. And. upon flic score of econo
my. apprise tlie government of the fact that it
will require less money to furnish, equip and
sustain a million of men for one year than it
will half a million for two years.
“Sec ond. Kilter your protest against every
other Brigadier and Major General ill our ar
my living a candidate for tlie Presidency dur
ing the existence of this war, and, as a conse
quence. “Imping hi« course in that direction.
"Third. Kilter vour most solemn protest
against one-half of the members of tlie Cabi
net looking to the Presidency, and shaping
their conduct of tlie war accordingly.
“Fourth. Call upon tlie President, whose
honesty and patriotism I do not question, to
reorganize Ids Cabinet and the army, and to
place men at tin' heads of Imth w ho will not
study how to kill off leading rebels without
hurting them!
Fifth. Advise the civil and military authori
ties of tin1 country, and the politicians, to
cease this war upon tlie everlasting "nigger"
until we conquer their white masters, and ar
rest the onward march of their desperate and
arrogant masters. Meanwhile, let the negroes
lie seized upon, and used in every possible way
to crush out this infernal rebellion.”
The Indian Beiieli.ion anothkk Devil
ish WoitK op Secessionists.—Tlie Bangor
Whig says there appears to he a strong belief
that the savage atrocities of the Indians in
M iiiiii'siita, And the threatened Indian war, are
tlie work of human white devils in the shape
of rebel emissaries. A friend has sent us a
copy of the St. Paul Press of A tig. 24 til, from
which wt* extract the following:
“A careful consideration of the evidence
which has accumulated so far, in connection
with tlie Indian massacres, forces upon us the
conviction that white men are at the bottom
of it.
The evidence taken before the coroner’s in
quest held at Acton, in Meeker county, shows,
upon the testimony of one of tin* women who
escaped, that shortly after the Indians left, a
white man came along, following in the track
of the Indians. The woman called him in,
and showed hiui the five dead bodies—men
and wmneu—lying upon the floor. //e biuy/nd,
■mil _ f. 4 if i > ■ II
followed on alter the Indians.
Again—we are informed that Nelson Kols
erts, well known to many of our readers, lias
stated that for weeks past,whltr men—Missou
rian.-—have I wen among the Indians. With
out doubt they Were emissaries, sent among
them, to stir them up.
Moreover, it seems to us that tiie whole
character of tile present outbreak indicates tiie
presence of some directing intelligence of a
higher order than that of the Indian.
The fact that remote triis-s, like tiie Yank
tonnais and (lie t 'ut Heads are moving in con
cert, indicates this.*1
A correspondent of tiie Advertiser
complains of the ledcral office-holders in this

doubtless have accused them of prostituting

three for contingencies. The tilth son of Rich
ard Fox enlisted yesterday, (tlie other four be
ing now in the army) also a son-in-law.—
The town gave each volunteer the sum of
$100, anil alter they had enlisted the sum of
$25 for each one, was raised by private sub

‘ & 'Tlie Providence Journal, in speaking of
tlie Portsmouth Grove Hospital, says that
among the immediate wants of the soldiers
there are fruit and newspapers. The former
the soldiers cannot obtain, for they have no
money to buy w ith. Fruit scut to the agent
of the Sanitary Commission at Providence,
w ill be judiciously distributed. The Journal
says;—“Newspapers are also greatly desired
by tlie soldiers. Any person landing on the
wharf with a bundle of papers, is immediately
surrounded by a crowd eager to obtain a copy.
There are hundreds of our citizens w ho can
spare from one to half a dozen papers daily,
w hich will Is; most gratefully received.” We
presume that next to letters from the “loved j
ones at home,” the newspapers are hailed with
the most joyous gladness, in the hospital and
camp. We have often wondered w hy more
papers are not sent to the army.
An Appeal to the Patriotic People of the
North.
The wants of tho United States Sanitary
Commission at the present time, is mostly for
woolen good', such as:
W ooleu Hospital Sheets,
“ Drawers,
“ Shirts,
“ Socks,
Slippers,
The demand tor lint having liecn fully sup
plied, there will be no further call at present.

Important Unpublished Better.—The
following letter from Thomas II. Benton to
Joint M. Clayton, has just come to light, never
having been published till recently:
"./ttly 2t. 1855. I hope you saw tiie chapter
on Mr. Calhoun’s admission of support of the
Missouri compromise. It is a heavy blow up
on his followers, who are not a political party,
but a sect, following their prophet anil propa
gating his doctrines, and to whom a proof of
fallihility is a stumbling block.
Believe nte, the feeling for disunion is be
coming current in tlie slave States, and almost
unanimous in some of them, and a letter like
yours would do good in staying it The slav
ery question is a cover for the real motives,
which are. with politicians, ambition; with the
masses, a belief that the Union works to the
disadvantage of the South, and that they will
do better separated. It is upon this feeling
that the ntillillers work and mask their designs
with the dangers of slavery, and are making
great progress. Yours, truly,
Thomas IB Bf-nton.”
Patronize Home Keterpuize.—It is now
tiie season of the year when our merchants
are laying in their annual stocks of woolen
goods, and we would call their attention to the
excellent quality of woolen yarns manufactur
ed by D. Furnel, of Wilton, in this Sfete. Mr.
F. makes a pure article of all wool, free from
all admixture of cotton, and he uses only a
nice quality of the raw material. We are glad
to learn that his business is increasing from
year to year, as tiie good qualities of Ids fab
rics become better known. True, his yarn
may cost a fraction more per pound, ami will
require to lie sold perhaps one cent a skein
more, or else yield a less profit to the seller,
than yarns manufactured in other States, hut
when its quality, the size of the skeins and the
exelicnce of tiie colors are taken into account,
very few will hesitate to give it a decided
preference. Mr. Furnel is now supplying the
trade of the State, ilis son and travelling
agent, Mr. James Furnel, will give our mer
chants ail opportunity, in a few days, to test
the correctness of these statements.

Philadelphia, Sept 13.
The Press of this city has received a dis

whole of Buell's army is hastening to the sup
port of the city, which is now menaced hy
Bragg.
The city is being fortified. Gen. Thomas

Before this reaches you the fate of Nashville
will doubtless have been decided. An advance

Baltimore, Sept. 13.
The |M)iicc made an important capture last
night at the house of l)r. Williamson, 7 miles
from this city, on the ll<x>kerxtown road.—
Having received information that some rehel
officers from the invading army were Ix’ing
feted hy their friends, the police proceeded
thither and surrounded the house, anil whilst
those within were having a jolly good time,
lagged the whole party, as follows: Captain
Henry Gilmer, Stuart's cavalry, Grafton D.
Carlisle and Lieut. Bailie. These men were
disguised in citizens’ dress. The police seized
Dr. Williamson, their entertainer, and several
gentleman friends. The whole party were
brought to this city, and are now in close con
llnemcnt. These rebel officers belong to this
city. It is thought they will, as they justly
should, meet the fate of spies.
It has been discovered that Lee and Jackson
had crossed the Potomac, near Marthisburg.—
The whole rebel force is retreating across the
Potomac.
Cincinnati, Sept. 13.
The rebel army has fallen hack beyond Flor
