POSITION AS IT WAS—THE ADVANCE.
1 remarked that the movement which Mc
Clellan has (I fear too late) made, is a “flank
movement.” Our line has been Dearly paral
lel with the general course of the Potomac.
Harper’s Ferry was the center. Had the ad
vance been straight forward, the center would
have followed along the Winchester and Po
tomac Railroad. The direction would have
been mainly south-west, and the right wing
of the army, with its extremity, brushing past
Martinsburg and at length touching the sec
ond range of mountains, would have swept
down the valley, while the left, at first below
the Shenandoah, would have been compelled
to cross that river and pass through the moun
tain gaps, in order to meet the enemy in the
vicinity of Winchester.
A “flank movement” is, with a given point,
to move to the right or left. McClellan has
struck ofT to the left, bringing such of his
right wing as were to operate, down to Har
per’s Ferry, and, not only across the Potomac,
but across the Shenandoah at that point.
He has seized upon all the mountain passes
and, in conjunction with Sigel’s corps, pre
pared to strike the rebels at the same time
upon their right and rear.
Sickles, and doubtless Stoneman, command
ing another Division of Heintzelman’s Corps,
(late Kearney’s Division, and containing 3d
and 4th Maine regiments,) seems to have his
eye up~>n Gordonsville and Richmond, regard
less of the startling fact that Lee, with his
whole army, was once at Winchester 1
GEN. GEABT’S COMMAND—I). C. BEG. NO. 1.
Gen. Geary left in command at Harpm-'s
Ferry, has had one of the Divisions of the 12th
Corps, (formerly Banks’) containing three
brigades and nominally 14 regiments; one,
the 1st District Columbia, however, having en
tirely disappeared, from the commanding offi
cer to the last private. This regiment counts
one all the same, from the high, and mighty
and loyal (?) D. C., although it consisted of
only two or three hundred men at first, and
has fast been frittered away to nothing.
Since Gen. Geary took charge of Harper’s
Ferry, his command lias been greatly enlarged,
and he now reckons with it many of the new
• regiments.
A CBYING EVIL.
You have had a description of this place*
(Harjier’s Ferry.) The troops, for the most
part, occupy the Heights. For their own
good, would that there were no necessity ol
ever descending to these “lower regions 1” It
seems as though they become lower every day.
The prevalence of questionable and unques
tionable females had become so great that
Gen. Conch, there in command, w as compelled
to issue an order that no females be allowed
to cross the river without passes from the Gen
eral Commanding. Measures were also taken
to get rid of many who had established them
selves in the tenantless houses of the place.
FOBTS UPON THE HEIGHTS.
The felling of trees upon the Heights to
make way for the fortifications and give a
sweep to the guiiB, has laid bare many an un
sightly spot. They are truly shorn of their
beauty, but their strength is jqst now begin
ning to accumulate. Have you noticed that
war first clips and crushes the beautiful?
Soon it appropriates the useful, and then it
goes on in its devastation till the poor victims
who fall in its way are robbed of the very
necessaries of life, and do well if they are sub
jected to physical sufferings alone.
ESCAPE OF A MAIL BOBBER.
News! News! Did I catch that word?
Little for me to communicate. You heard
that John Tantish, orderly for Gen. Howard,
had escaped. He tore up an old tent which
had been carelessly left within his reach, and
made rope of it, by which he let himself down
in the night from the third story of at brick
building. He had a buffalo robe and the
clothes he wore. He went doubtless to the
rebels or to Canada. His father and family
live in Skowhegan, Me., but came originally
from Canuda and Tunlish could speak Canadi
an French. He is 22 years of age, bright and
active, able to read and write, and would
probably elude the officers of justice, even
should they make an eflort to take him. Pos
sibly freedom, destitution, and a bad prece
dent, will not be followed by renewed crimes.
But few are thus hopeful.
GEN. HOWARD’S DIVISION.
1 ou have seen that Gen. Gormau has had
“Sedgwick’s Division” in Gen. Howard’s ab
sence, who had not arrived when the Division
started from Harper’s Ferry. The 19th Maine
is attached to Gorman's Brigade of this Div
sion. Col. Sewall has been away on sick
leave for two or thrae weeks.

» ncuiuuKy t-m emancipated her
Mare*.
i It is now about five years since Mattie Grif
fith, a noble daughter of Kentucky, left her
native State because her generous young soul
was filled with such deep abhorrence of sla
' very. She wrote a book heedlul in its power
j called “The Autobiography ofa Female Slave
, and she herselfassured me that every incident
. it contained had occured within her own
knowledge. She was an orphan, and all the
property she had consisted in slaves; but she
took the heroic resolution to emancipate them
all. Site was a l>et in the large circle of her
relatives and friends, but not one of them sym
pathized with her generous project. Thev’re
garded her as insane in her views on that'sub
ject. It required the strongest convictions of
uoty and tl»e loftiest moral courage to pass
through such a social martyrdom as she en
countered. Her womanly nature quailed be
fore it, but conscience was victorious. She
felt that no position was so mean as to live
on the wages of others: and in the face of all
opposition, she emancipated all her slaves.
When she wrote to me announcing the reso
lution to rely upon her own exertions hereaf
ter, she added: “I shall work with a light
heart, and I tetter still, 1 shall work w ith an eiisy
conscience.'’
She left Kentucky, where her opinions ren
dered her unpopular; but subsequently re
turned, on a visit, to superintend the process
of emancipation. The most valuable article of
tier human property was an intelligent slave
named Henderson. Some wealthy gentleman
tried to tempt tier from her purpose,' by offer
ing a very high price for this man; but she
shook her head, saying, “I could not enjoy
spending the money.” Henderson’s wife be
longed to another family, and her master's will
had enjoined that none of his slaves should Ire
sold till his youngest child, then six years old,
was of age. But her husband was bright and
industrious, and, stimulated by the hope of
buying tier some day, he made the utmost of
facilities for earning money, which his kind
mistress had tried to afford him.
In a letter to me, Miss Griffith described the
emancipation of her slaves. It was no*, in
tended for publication, but it is well calculated
to serve the cause of freedom; and as it con
tains no remarks that can be personally offen
sive to any one, I think I am not guilty of any
impropriety in sending it to you without her
knowledge. I therefore subjoin tile following
extracts;—
“Immediately upon my arrival in Kentucky,
I sent for the servants and informed them of
my intention. I explained the laws as simply
as I could, and told them it would be necessa
ry to leave tlie State as soon as they were
free. Tliov listonorl with ftinritirin nn/1 navn. !
eatly inquired whether there was no way of
evading tlie law. so that they could remain on
their native soil, among old home influences.
I warned them of the inevitable danger of
staying or of returning under any pretext
whatsoever. When they wen made’to under
stand this, they became resigned to the hard
conditions, and said, with an eloquent sigh,
“All places are alike to the negro."’
“It was delightful to watch their countenan
ces. as they slowly received the idea of person
al freedom. It seeemed as if they underwent
some heavenly transfiguration. Their laces,
even their bodies, appeared to glow. ‘What!’
they exclaimed,‘are we going to be fkee?
To belong to ourselves? ,Oh, it seems like a
dream!’ They laughed and they wept, they
sang and they danced, alternately. Indeed, I
almost feared Henderson was crazy, he was so
bewildered with joy. It was a blissful moment
for me when 1 placed the deeds of manumis
sion in their hands. I never expect to exper
ience such a thrill of happiness again. Poor
creatures! They embraced my knees, they
kissed my hands, they would have covered my
very feet with caresses, if I would have per
mitted it. They calied me by every exalted
name in the English language. But when these
first ebuilitious of feeling were over, they be
gan to think more of me than of themselves.
They returned with downcast looks and said,
‘But Miss Mattie, you can't afford to do this.
You will have have to work. You ain't used
to work, and we don’t want you to work.
Take us back. Miss Mattie. We are all willing
ho keep on working lor you.’ Now wasn’t
this very touching? Poor faithful, loving
creatures! I can never be forgetful of my du
ty to their race. When I declined their gen
oious offer, they urged me at least never to
want for any thing, hut to send to them, and
they would always divide their earnings with
me. or give me the whole.
• “The separation of Henderson and his wife
was extremely affecting. It was to her as if
the light of life had gone out; for she has lit
tle. hope of obtaining her freedom, though he
thinks he shall manage to buy her before long.
You see he is not such an uitra Abolitionists
as to refuse to buy a slave. Sbe is a beautiful
and intelligent quadroon, with nice little hands
fitted for dainty work. With all a woman’s
tender spirit of self-sacrifice, she rejoiced in
her husband's good fortune, and tried to forget
the cloud under which her own life rested.
She endeavored to conceal her emotions from
him, and told him she would try to bear her
bereavement as well as she possibly cold. I
tell you. my dear triend, that few people know
how to appreciate the beauty of the African
character.
“Henderson had $.r>00 in money, and the
others had all more or less which they had laid
up, besides some live stock and other articles.
They wished to dispose of some of these be
fore they left the State, so I made provision in
the deeds of emancipation for their retnaiuing
until the 1st of March, when they must leave
or be liable to be sold into slavery again,
Henderson accompanied me to Cincinnati,
where lie obtained a situation on a New Or
loans hont Ho nroforoH that omitlni-muiit l.o
cause it would give him an opportunity to see
his wife occasionally, or at least to hear from
her, as the boat touched at Louisville. They
are most loudly attached to each other. It
was amusing to see how soon he adopted free
state modes of expression. Alter four hours’
sojourn in Ohio, lie began to speak of “colored
gentlemen” and “colored ladies.” I was glad
to hear it. It urged a proper respect for his
race. The others thought of getting situations
in or near Cincinnati. They are all sober, in
dustrious, economical people; so, with a little
friendly advice, I left them to their own judge
ment in the choice of occupations. I did not
wish to act as if I were their mistress after I
had given them their freedom.”
The noble young Kentuckian who wrote the
above letter, always disclaims any credit for
her righteous proceedings. She says quietly,
“Why do you praise me for generosity? It
appears to me a very simple act of justice.
What right had I to their earnings, any more
than I have to yours?” It seems very strange
that Northern minds are generally so slow to
recognize this principle. That a man should
be robbed of his wages on account of a black
skin, seems to her a-* wroug and absurd as it
would be if he suffered the same injustice on
account of black eyes or black hair. In com
i mon with several other emancipated slavehold
, ers, with whom I have talked, she marvels at
! Northern apathy concerning an institution
j whose baneful effects extend to everybody
and everything connected with it.
You will be interested to know’ that, not
withstanding Henderson's eager desire to pur
chase his w ife, he repeatedly urged Miss Grif
| tith to take the money he had laid by: and.
1 when stie refused, he begged her to accept at
: least of half it, saying, “1 earned it when my
| time belonged to you, and you have given me
what is worth more than money.” The an
i ewer was,“No, no; 1 thunk you Henderson,
; but I have already taken your wages too long.”
! Then he brought a younger brother who said,
| "Miss Mattie, let me work for you till I am of
age; tor surely that is no more than right.”
It is now four years since this emancipation
| took place. A few months ago, I heard that
j all these redeemed ones W'ere behaving well
| and getting a comfortable living. Heudeison
has succeeded in buying his beloved wife, and
i both are doing well.
In view of these facts, 1 would ask any ean
| did person what reason there is to apprehend
i danger in emancipating the slaves. It is sure
ly time for us to stop repeating stereotyped
falsities, invented for the convenience of slave
holders.
