THE NEWS.
The attention of the Government has been
'called to the suffering condition of the rcal
•dcute in rebel districts within our army
lines, and wc arc glad to note the promise of
the adoption of a plan to bring relief to these
unfortunates.
In the Senate, yesterday, TTOson of Massa
chusetts launched a heavy shell at the traitor
Davis of Kentucky, which, even though it
may not oust that blatant advocate of seces
sion, will startle him into more decency.
Yesterday the forty-ninth anniversary of
the battle of New Orleans called up promi
nently before the people the memory of the
Ticro of that great event Andrew Jackson's
name deserves even higher honors as the first
statesman to meet at the threshold the ear
liest proposition of rebellion, and to meet it
'with the threat of hanging the first rebel
Bad he indeed hung Calhoun, the bloodshed
of our day would have hocnjspared .this gen
eration.
The death of Thackeray is announced. An
other illustrious name has passed from those
of living men, to take its place among the
■elnre. Elsewhere wc give place to a sketch
of the literary career of the illustrious de
ceased.
TVc publish elsewhere a lew, and yet suffi
cient extracts from the immense report of
Gen. McClellan. This is all of this interest
ing; military history that will appear in these
columns.. The rest will he found in the
3,000 pages, large duodecimo, now in the
hands of the Government printer. A monu
ment of more enduring brass was never erec
ted to himself by any military personage,
modern or ancient. It will endure from very
ponderosity, like the pyramid of Cheops.
Other great commanders have soiled a few
pages of foolscap to tell how they did it, and
*wliut they did. It was left for little Mac to
build up an immense verbal structure, with
cracks carefully puttied, to conceal his fail
ures. It reminds one of the interminable
lines of heavy shovelling that kept the army
of the Potomac too busy to trouble the ene
my. The military painter should now fall at
Work, for on this hint little Mac may
be sent down to history looming large
on canvass. He has been fond of parodying
Napoleon. Let us now have small Na
poleon crossing Lis own Alpine heaps of
manuscripts, and if it be desired to throw In
something suggestive of the fear this hero
inrplrcs among his fellow-men, let the studies
be sought among the unfortunate clerks set
to deal with this ehirograph!calachlcvemcnt,
in the War Department IVhen the career of
Lit tle Mac began, the brevity and enrtness of
las style was memorable, and something
more,—historical, for every school-boy had
it in his history of Napoleon. Unhappily for
McClellan, he was left to himscli; with noth
ing to borrow from Napoleon when he sat
<lo\m to report upon the wasted lives, and
squandered opportunities that arc all that his
command gave the people, and the only use
to which he devoted two splendid armies.
In Congress yesterday—the Senate only in
session—a debate took place on the conscrip
tion bill, reaching no definite result in that
body, but giving sufficient indication that,
in a modified form, the S3OO clause will still
remain, and the request of the President as
to the postponement of the draft and contin
uance of bounties be compiled with.
.Tire House was sot in session yesterday,
anlionor of the anniversary of New Orleans
and General Jackson. Our dispatches .else
where note the observance of the day at va
rious points.
THE NEW SEPBESIE JUDGE.
Our Springfield dispatches of yesterday an
nounced the resignation of Supreme Justice
Catou, and the appointment of Mr. Beckwith
of this city to Jill the vacancy thus created
for the unexpired term. Judge Caton was
elected on the first Monday in June, 1855,
for the period of aii-cycon. His term of office
consequently expires on the first Monday of
June next, when asucccssor must be elected
for the district for the nine ensuing years
-ending Jane, 16TS.
Judge Caton has been disposed to resign
for some time past, bat only on condition
that the vacancy should be filled by a Demo
crat. He was opposed to having the Cover
norappoint a Republican in his place, not
withstanding the district which he repre
sented Is Republican by more thirty
thousand majority. In this aspect of the
matter the. Governor can hardly he
blamed for filling the vacancy on
the bench with a political opponent. Mr.
Beckwith is an able lawyer, and will make
as satisfactory a Judge os his predecessor;
and if the nuexpired six mouths of Judge
Caton’s time is to bo filled by a political op
ponent, wc would as soon see him have it as
any other “Democrat” in the district All
the Judges of the Supreme Court of Illinois
are opposed to the Administration majority
party. This can be in part rectified on the
first Monday of next Jane by the election of
a sound and talented Republican Union
lawyer for Judge of the Northern Dlstrict f for
the ensuing nine years. When the Union
State Convention is held next Spring, the
delegates from the thirty-five Northern
counties can nominate a candidate for Su
preme Judge. The district is composed of
the following counties; Henderson, Warren,
Knox, Peoria, Tazewell, Woodford, McLean,
Livingston, Iroquois, Will, Grundy,
LaSalle, Putnam, Marshall, Stark, Bureau,
Henry, Mercer, Bock Island, Whiteside, Lee,
Carroll, Jo Daviess, Stephenson, Winnebago,
Ogle, DcKalb, Boone, Kane, McHenry, Lake,
DuPogo and Cook.
THE DICKER SOX AND ISHEBWOOD
CONTROVERSY.
Wc insert this morning an elaborate de
fense of tbc steam machinery introduced into
our naval vessels by B. Ishcrwood, Engineer
in-chief of the United States Navy, going to
show that our new steam sloops are possessed
of sufficient speed. The first half of tho ar
ticle is devoted to an attack on a New York
Attorney named E. N. Dickerson, who is in
terested in the patent known as the Sickles 1
“ cut-off.” In the now famous case of Mat
ting vs. the Washington Sleamship Company,
Isherwood the Naval Engineer was Intro
duced as a witness against the plaintiff and
swore strongly against the Sickles 1 “ cut
off,” pronouncing it a useless humbug and
denying that it saved fuel or increased speed.
Dickerson was sent for to New York and
came to Washington in hot haste and took
hold of tbc case. He introduced witnesses to
prove that the Sickles 1 “ cut-off 11 was all Its
Inventor claimed for it, and then opened a
vigorous attack on the style of engines intro
duced into the navy by Ishcrwood, alleging
against the latter corruption and ignorance,
and contending that he was using his high
position in the navy to make money for him
eelf and friends, and that no steamer built
under his supervision possessed the speed
requisite to catch the British built blockade
runners.
The statement on the other side wc publish
this morning, alleges that Dickerson himself
ns an engine builder, is a humbug, and has
Notched everything he has undertaken. Two
prominent cases arc adduced and discussed at
great length: an engine for the Water Works
of Detroit and the engine put into the naval
-Etcamcr Pensacola., As here slated, the
showing makes a strong case against Dicker
eon. On the other hand. In his speech on the
trial, Dickerson gives a wholly different ver
ion of the Pensacola engines, and asserts
that their failure to perform satisfactory was
in consequence of the deadly hostility of
Ishcrwood, who broke them down, and was
resolved that they should not succeed, os that
would interfere with his own pet plans and
devices. Without passing judgment on the
merits of this fierce controversy between
Dickerson and Ishcrwood, wc are bound to
say, that it is a vciy pretty fight. Sometime
if we can spare the space we may give a por
tion of Dickerson’s version of the matter.
As it stands, the country Is certainly Illy
served In its steam navy, paying large sums
for small results, that would shame any pri
vate contractor. It will be well if this agita
tion of the matter rids the naval service of the
cvllg that are reciprocally charged to both the
contesting parties. But at present, Hfc* the
recent Camp Fry imbroglio in this city, where
tiio soldiers were frozen but nobody to blame,
wc have a steam navy needing reform, but
every officer connected with its construction
lias done hie full duty. Let the “fulling out”
perfect its results.

William makepeace Thackeray.
William Makepeace Thackeray, an English
novelist, was bom in Calcutta in 181 L De
scended from an old family of Yorkshire that
has given several rectors and scholars to the
church of England, his grandlather was rec
tor of Hadley in Middlesex, and his lather
was engaged in the civil service of the East
India company. He was sent to England in
his 7th year, bad a view of Napoleon at St
Helena on his way, and was placed at the
Charterhouse school in London. From the
Charterhouse he went to the university of
Cambridge, bnt did not take his degree; in
herited a fortune of £20,000 on coming of
age; chose art for his profession; and trav
eled and studied for several years in France,
Italy, and Germany. In 1830-’SI he lived at
‘Weimar, saw Goethe, purchased Schiller’s
sword, and delighted in making caricatures
for children, some of which he found still
preserved on revisiting the place in 1853.
Reminiscences of his early art studies are in
terwoven into his fictions, many of which
are illustrated by his own pencil; bnt he
abandoned the project of becoming a profes
sional artist soon after his return to England.
His fortune was greatly reduced by losses
and unsuccessful speculations, and before
bis SOth year he had set himself resolutely to
literature as his vocation. His progress to
general recognition was slow, though from
the first he gave signs of his peculiar powers.
Ho is understood to have written for the
“ Times” while it was edited by Barnes, and
was certainly connected with other London
Journals. He contributed to “ Fraser's Mag
azine,” under the psendonymes of Michael
Angelo TUmarsh, and George Fitz-Boodlc,
Esq., a variety of tales, criticisms, descrip
tive ckctches, and verses, which proved his
knowledge of the world, delicate irony, and
master of a playful jet vigorous style. In
this periodical appeared “ The Great Hoggarty
Diamond” in 18U, a thoroughly genial satire,
with atone at once of ridlcmeandof pathos.
His earliest separate publications, under
the psendonyme of “ Tltmareh, literary cock
ney and eketcher,” were “the Paris Sketch
Book” (Svols., 1840); “ The Second Funeral
of Napoleon” and “The Chronicle of the
Drum*’ (1811), the latter being one of ids
finest metrical pieces; and “Thelrish Sketch
Book” (3 vols., 1813). None of these at
tained popularity, though the last has some
of the happiest touches both of his pen and
pencil. Meantime “ Bany Lyndon,” one of
the best of his short tales, narrating the ad
ventures of an Irish gambler ana fortune
hnnter, was contributed by Fitz-Boodle to
“ Frarer.” The establishment of Punch” in
1841 opened to him a new field, and his pa
pers in this periodical speedily acquired pe
culiar distinction. His first scries, under the
signature of “The Fat Contributor,” were
followed by “ Jeames's Diary,” in which he
looks at society from the footman's point of
view, and “The Snob Papers,” which gave
to him an independent reputation as a social
satirist, while they added to the success and
dignity of “ Punch.” Many of his contribu
tions were in verse, and showed his dexterous
command of rhyme and of ludicrous ortho
graphy.
Amongthe works that will longest pres Eire
his fame as a humorous and satirical writer
are Pcndcnnls, Vanity Fair, The Newcomes,
The Virginians, and The Adventures of
Philip; all widely known to American read
ers, as having been published in serials and In
magazine pages on this side the water. Some
of the happiest illustrations of Thackeray's
works are by himself He visited the United
States a few years since and won added liter
ary reputation as a lecturer.
The characters of Thackeray arc generally
described, not by their great qualities or
leading habits, bat by smollpecaliarities,
affectations, or weaknesses. He shows no
more of his personages than might be gath
ered fronr intercourse In society, points men
almost entirely in their moments of relaxa
tion, relates their behavior and displays so
much of their feelings as their demeanor, ac
tions, and voice can bear witness to. His
aim is not to give dues to a character, but to
reproduce the image which the whole phe
nomenon of society has Impressed npon his
mind. To read him is therefore like meeting
and mixing with the individuals in actual life.
Bis field or survey is not very broad, his fa
vorite position being the debatable land be
tween the aristocracy and the middle classes.
He knows mankind from dining rooms and
drawing rooms, club rooms and country
bouses. Without any thorough acquaintance
with English provincial life, or with the hab
its and leellngs of the lower classes, he has
seen a good deal of soldiers, artists, and men
of letters, and has a profound knowledge of
footmen and men abont town. From raise
tastes, or from some deeper infirmity, be in
clines to give prominence to blots, parade
defects, hold np the most petty and ignoble
sides of all things, and find the comic aspect
of wickedness ana misery. Bat the unmis
takable irony of his realistic descriptions ne
cessarily* implies and suggests an ideal of hu
manity from which his heroes arc deviations;
and from this moral antithesis of the actual
and ideal springs the peculiar charm of his
writings, the mingled gayety and earnestness,
sentiment and cynicism, pathos and sarcasm,
tenderness and malignity, with which he re
gards human life.
Minnesota Indian Massacre,
Washington, January B.—The Commis
sion, appointed for the relief of the sufferers
hr the Indian hostilities In Minnesota, con
sisting of Colonel Aldrich and Messrs. White
and Chase, were in session at St Peters, Min
nesota, for about five months.
Two thousand nine hundred and forty claims
were presented and examined. A large num
ber were also presented but could cot be ex
amined, as the law fixed tbc time for the ex
piration of tbelr duties at December Ist. The
above number of claims amounted to $2,453.-
OCO. The Commission awarded $1,370,455.
The $200,000 appropriated at the last session
for the immediate relief of the most needy
sufferers, was paid to over L4OO persons,
many or whom were made widows and or
phans by the Indians.
Nearly 13,000 witnesses were examined, and
their testimony reduced to writing, covering
about 16,000 sheets of legal cap paper. The
testimony' shows that over 800 men, women
and children were butchered by the Indians.
Thousands who had purchased homesteads
of the United States, and paid for them, were
driven away and are now refugees, it being
unsafe to return to the frontier.
It is estimated that $5,000,003 will not reim
burse the people for the damage done by tbc
Indians on the frontier of Minnesota. Gov
ernment holds $3,000,000 in annuities by tuc
rebellions Sioux. It is proposed to use this
sum in payment of the above claims, and a
bill appropriating $1,100,000 is being prepared
to meet tho balance due on the amount
awarded by the commission.
message of the Governor of Ma*
ryland.
Baltimore, Jan. B.— Governor
message was transmitted to the Legislature
to-day. He says the finances of the State are
in a prosperous condition. He says, in refer
ence to tho question of emancipation; “I be
lieve today, as I have done for years, that if
we bad long ago provided for the gradual
emancipation of the slaves of the State, wc
should now be, as regards all national ele
ments of public prosperity, in advance of our
present position. The products of our State
and its natural resources are not such as arc
adapted to, or can be developed by, slave la
bor. I am satisfied that the people of the
State, in their moments of calm and delibe
rate reflection, long since came to the same
conclusion. When conspiring leaders at the
South lifted their hands against the Union
and pointed to slavery as’thc Institution upon
which their visionary Republic was to rest,
they struck a blow at its very vitals In every
border State in which it has continued to
jirngninb, which must inevitably result in
its• ultimate -destruction. It becomes ns,
therefore, to whom the whole question right
fully belongs, to take immediate measures
for its removal, which should bo no longer
delayed than may be required by a proper re
spect to those indue trial pursuits with which
that institution has been so long and so inti
mately interwoven, and a humane regard for
the slave himself, which forbids ns* to cast
him, unprepared for so great a change, too
suddenly upon his feeble* resources. 11

Washington, Jan. 8, ISM.
CONGRESSIONAL.
The House was not in session txlay, hav
ing adjourned over in honor of Jackson and
New Orleans. The Senate devoted most of
its session to the discussion of the conscrip
tion bill, and particularly of the three hun
dred dollar danse.
Mr. Wilson opposed its repeal * and declared
that there was a very heavy preponderance
of public opinion in favor of the danse as it
now stands.
Mr. Lane of Indiana, and some others,
favored the repeal No conclusion was reach
ed, bnt it is pretty safe to say, the three hun
dred dollar danse will be retained in a modi
fied form.
Mr. ’Wilson produced a sensation by offer
ing a resolution to expel Garret Davis from
the Senate, for disloyalty, as evinced in his
resolutions recently introduced, wherein be
called on the people to rise against their war
leaders and take the conduct of affairs into
their own hands.
Mr. Davis denied that he meant by. this
anything more than to appeal to the ballot
box, and said he wasn’t as much rebel as
■Wilson had shown himself when Massachu
setts was In rebellion against the fugitive
slave low. The feeling against Davis Is quite
decided, but still it Is scarcely probable that
anything like expulsion will come of It
Mr. Halo’s chronic quarrel with the Nary
Department produced a stir in the Senate to
day, when he brought in a resolution of in
quiry into the case of Ishexwood, Chief of
the Bureau of Engineering, and into the
management of the Deportment generally.
Messrs. Conness, of CaL, Grimes, Doolittle
and others, replied, commenting severely on
Bale’s course.
Garrett Davis got mixed up m the matter,
and provoved some pungent remarks from
Conness, to ■which he replied that he was
not to he scared by jackals. It ms Conness 1
first speech in the Senate, and he made a very
favorable impression.
Mr. Wilson stated to-day in debate, that
not over fifteen thousand veterans would
leave the army tnrough expiration of their
time of enlistment before the first of July.
The popular belief has been that the number
ms much larger.
On the vote on Mr. Baldwin’s resolution
declaring the rebel leaders at Richmond to
he outlaws, it is noticeable that that Ex-Gov.
King, of Mo., heretofore ranked as a Copper
head, voted in favor of their adoption, while
Mr. Rollin, considered conservative, dodged
the question.

The coming report of the Commissioner of
Patents wm show the receipts of the Patent
Office for the last year to be $45,000 more
than the expenditures, which, during the
present prostrated condition of inventions,
is considered quite favorable.
MISSOUBI MATTERS.
Some of the Missouri members here say It
is understood that Gratis Brown acquiesces in
the confirmation of Gen. Schofield. This de
termination is attributed to on understanding
with Senator Henderson, whereby the latter
agrees to influence the dozen followers of

THE QUAKERS AND THE WAR.
A delegation of Quakers representing all
(heir annual, meetings, appeared, before the
Douse Military Committee to urge that they
should be exempted from military service
and from the payment of commuation. There
is not much chance of their getting it. They
object to paying commutation Inasmuch as
it goes to the support of war;
but when they were told that
by a late act commutation goes into the gen
eral fund of the treasury, they had more dif
ficulty in making it clear that they should bo
relieved from paying it.'
A BUMOIL
Statements were -current and apparently
based on good authority, last night, that
Clark had been relieved from the ' charge of
printing Treasury notes, bnt they now appear
to have been unfounded, or at least prema
ture.
PACIFIC RAILROAD.
The Pacific Railroad Committee had their
first meeting this evening.
Washington, Jan. 8. —A communication
from the army of the Fdtomae, says that it will

ligbtjhnndrcds of half clad and starved citizens
to learn that an arrangement has .been made
and authorized by tbe Treasury Department,
to supply the necessaries of life to the suffer
ing families within the lines of the army of
Potomac.
Some months ago apian was projected, and
sanctioned by Gen. Meade, provided it was
sustained bylaw, to effect this object, but
on reference to Washington it was fonnd to
be unauthorized by existing laws regulating
trade and military rules. Recently, however,
another plan was suggested and presented to
the Treasury Department, by which it was
sanctioned, and will shortly bo carried Into
effect
New York, Jan. B,—The io*f a Washington
special says:

MESSAGE OF GOT. AVDKEW.
Boston, Jan. B.—The annual message of
Gov, Andrew -was delivered to-day. It is
very lengthy and comprehensive.
The receipts into the State treasury for the
year were $ <,229,823, and the payments in the
same time were 50,728,597.
The establishment of a military academy
under the patronage of the
Is urged.
The total number of men furnished to the
land service by Massachusetts previous to
October, 1863, was 75,608. Gov. Andrew
argues at length in favor of recruiting our
wasted regiments in the field. The Governor
says whenever one community con furnish
volunteers for our armies, and other commu
nities can afford to pay them to come, but
cannot afford to spare their own men from
their own industry, the simplest political
economy teaches the wastefulness of refusing
to allow these balances to be adjusted by the
law of supply and demand.
Gov. Andrew closes as follows: “The
great Proclamation of Liberty will lilt the
mlcr who uttered it, our nation and our age
above all vulgar destiny.”
The bell which rung ont the declaration ot
Independence Ims found a voice at last artic
ulate to proclaim throughout all the land,
and to nil the inhabitants thereof! It has
been heard across oceans, and has modified
the sentiments of Cabinets and Kings. The
people of the old world have heard it—their
hearts stop to catch the last whisper of its
echoes. The poor slave has heard it, and
with bounding joy, tempered by the myste
ry of i eligion, he worships and adores the
waiting. Continent has heard it, and al
ready lorsces the fulfilled prophesy when she
will sit redeemed, regenerated, and disen
thralled by the genius of universal Emanci

[Correspondence of the N. T. Com. Advertiser.]
Washington, Thursday, Dec. 81,1863.
I have been fortunate or unfortunate
enough to he colled upon to read the seven
hundred and eighty odd pages of manuscript
which make up the report of Gen. McClellan;
and I -have considered it my dnty to digest
foryon the main features of this document,
which covers so important a chapter of the
“history” wMch, os Mr. Lincoln justly ob
serves, “we are all making.”
The reportiswellwritten in a simple, flow
ing style, but not very well distributed, or,
as we sbonld say, “ made up.” It is full of
points on which controversy might be made,
and whenever time shall be ripe, no doubt
will bo made. At present our only concern
need be with the main facts and moat Inter
esting documents which it contains.
The report is dated New York, August 4
1863. It begins with an allusion to the re
sults of the victories in Western Virginia,
which, we learn, were won not at all in con
nection with any general co-operative plan
of action; and then goes on to recite the arri
val of the General at Washington after Bull
Run; the organization of the army of the Po
tomac; the grand plan laid out for the gene
ral campaign oflßol-63; the final invasion of
Virginia in 1663; the Peninsular movement;
the seven days* battles; and the short but
glorious Maryland, campaign of September,
On the Ist of November, General McClellan
was appointed to the chief command of all
the forces of the Union, and at once began
active operations. ■
•**■* * * * * «
Passing over General McClellan's full and
elaborate account of the consultations and
operations wMch preceded the advance to
Manassas, March 9, 1863, we find that this
advance.was intended by him merely to occu
py the troops during the preparations for the
Peninsula campaign, then folly, decided upon.
The enemy’s force at Manassas was estimated
at 116,500 with 800 field guns and 800 slegp
guns.
Gen. McClellan reached tho Peninsula with
85,CC0 effectives early in April- He gives his
reasons for not assaulting the works at York
town, describes the battle of Williamsburg
with special praise of Gen Hancock, and re
cites the advance to Richmond. The sierra of
that city is narrated at length, and the
“change of base,” with its attendant battles
fiom Mechanicsville, fought June 26, to Mal
vern Hill, fonght July 1, 1863.
“This closed,” says General McClellan,
“the hard fighting which had continued from
the afternoon of the 26th June, in a series of
engagements wholly unparalleled on this con
tinent for determination and slaughter, on
both sides.”
Washington, Jan. 8, ISM.
SENATE. }
July 4th, the General telegraphed to the
President that he occupied at Harrison’s Bar,
positions “which conld be carried only by
overwhelming numbers.
“The spirit of the army,” he added, “is ex
cellent ; stragglers are finding the regiments,
and the soldiers exhibit the best resu'ts of
discipline.” He thus sums up the results of
the brief but fierce campaign;
“ I can not now approximate to any state
ment of our losses; but wo were not beaten
in any conflict. The enemy were unable by
their utmost efforts to drive ns from the
field. * ♦ ♦ We have lost no guns except
twenty-five on the field of battle, twenty-one
ofwhichwcrclostby the giving way of Mc-
Call’s. division under the onset of superior
numbers. When all tho circumstances of the
case are known, it will be acknowledged by
all competent judges that the movement just
completed by our army is unparalleled in the
annals of war. Under tho most dilficult cir
cumstances we have preserved our trains,
our guns, our material, and above all, our
honor.”
To this the President replied:
“Beassured the heroism and skill of yourself,
officers and men, is. and forever will be, appreciat
ed. If vou can hold your present position urn whan
have tho enemy yet.”
On the 7th, Gen. McClellan telegraphed:
“If not attacked to-day. I shall laugh at them,
rkg Officer Goldaborough Is confluent he can
keep open my communications by the James. 1 *
Expecting an attack, he says, as a necessity
*to the enemy, and fcelingthe critical nature
of the position, Gen. McClellan on the same
day addressed to tho President the following
letter: 43
HEADQUAnTSSS AIINY OP THE POTOJIAC, 1
Cash* near Qabeison's Landing. y
~ Monday, July 7,1802. |
Mn. Phm-dznt ; Ton have been folly Informed
that the rebel army Is !n our front, with the pur
pose of overwhelming ns by attacking our posi
tions or reducing ns by blockading our river com
munications. Xcannot but regard our condition
as critical, and I earnestly desire. In view of pos
sible contingencies, to lay before your Excellency,
for your private consideration, my general views
concerning the existing state of the rebellion, al
though they do not strictly relate to the situation
of the army or strictly come within the scope of
my official duties. These views amount to con
victions, and are deeply impressed npon
and heart. Oar cause must nererbe abandoned—
it is the cause of free Inatltutlona'and selfgovern
meat. The Constitution and the Union must be
preserved, whatever may he the cost in time, treas
ure, and blood. If secession is successful, other
dissolutions are clearly to bo seen la tic future.
Let neither military disaster, political fiction, nor
loreign war shake your settled purpose to enforce
the equal operation of the laws of the United
States upon the people of every State.
The time has come when the government must
determine upon a civil and military policy cover
ing .the whole ground ot our national trouble. The
responsibility of determining, declaring and sup
porting such civil and military policy, and of ol
icctlng the whole course of national affairs in re
gard to the rebellion, most now be assumed and
exercised by you or our cause will bo lost. The
Constitution gives you power sufficient even for
the present terrible emergency.
This rebellion has assumed the character of war;
as such it should be regarded, and It should be
conducted upon the highest principles known to
Christian civilization. It should not be a war
looking to the- subjugation of the people of any
State on any event. It should not be at all a war
upon population, but against armed forces and. po
litical organization. Neither confiscation of prop
erty, political executions of persons, territorial or
ganizations of States, or forcible abolition of slav
ery should be contemplated for a moment.
In prosecuting the war all private property
and unarmed persons * should be strict
ly protected, subject only to the nec
essity of military operations. All private proper
ty taken for military use should be paid or
receipted for; pillage and waste should be treated
as high crimes: all unnecessary trespass sternly
prohibited, and offensive: demeanor by the milita
ry towards citizens promptly rebuked. Military
arrests should not ho*loleratcd except in places
where active hostilities exist, and oaths not re
quired by enactments constitutionally made should
be neither demanded nor received. Military gov
ernment should be confined to the preservation of
pnblic order and the protection of political rights.
Military power should not bo allowed to interfere
with the relations of servitude, cither by support
ing or impairing the authority of the master, ex
cept for repressing -disorder, as in’other cases
Slaves contraband under the act of Congress, seek
ing military protection, should receive it. The
right of the Government to appropriate permanent
ly to its own service claims of slave labor should
be asserted, and the right of the owner to compen
sat'on therefor shonld Derecognized.
This principle might bo extended upon grounds
of military necessity and security to all the slaves
within a particular state, thus working manumis
sion in such State; and in Missouri, perhaps in
Western Virginia, also and possibly even in Mary
land, the expediency of such a measure is only a
question of lime.
A system of policy thus constitutional and con
servative, and pervaded by the influence of Chris
tianity and freedom, would receive the support of
almost all truly loyal men, would deeply Impress
the rebel masses and all foreign nations, and It
might be humbly hoped that it would commend
Itself to the favor ot the Almighty,
Unless the principles governing the future con
duct of our struggle shall be made known and ap
proved, the effort to obtain reqnisite forces will be
almosthopelesa. A declaration of radical views,
especially upon slavery, will rapidly disintegrate
our present armies.
The policy of the government must be supported
by concentration of military power. The nation
al forces should not he dispersed In expeditions,
posts of occupation and numerous armies; bnt
shonld be mainly collected Into masses andbrought
to bear npon the armies of the Confederate states.
Those armies thoroughly defeated, the political
structure which they support would soon cease to
exist.
In carrying out any system of policy which yon
may form, yon will require a commander-in-chief
of the army, one who possesses your confidence,
understands your views, and who is competent to
czecnteyonr orders by directing the military
forces of the nation to the accomplishment of the
objects by yon proposed. Ido not ask that' place
for myself. lam willing to serve yon in such po
sition as yon may assign me, and will do so as
faithfully as ever subordinate served superior.
I may do on the brink of eternity, and, as 1 hope
forgiveness from my Maker, I have written this
letter with sincerity toward yon and from lore for
my country.
Early in August the army was ordered to

The advance into Virginia after Antietam
is related, with an acconnt of the causes by
which that advance was delayed. • On the
night of Nov, 7 Gen. McClellan was relieved,
and the command transferred to Gen. Bom
side.
Gen. McClellan thus describes his own re
port:
“This report Is In fact the history of the
army of the Potomac. Daring the period
occupied in the organization of that army, it
served as a barrier against the advance of a
lately victorious enemy, while the fortifica
tion of the capital was in progress, and un
der the discipline which It then received, It
acquired strength, education and some of
that experience which is necessary to success
in active operations, and which enabled it
afterward to sustain itself under circum
stances trying to the most heroic men. Fre
quent skirmishes occurred along the lines,
conducted with great gallantry, which inured
onr troops to the realities of war.
The army grew Into shape bnt slowly, and
tbe delays Welch attended on the obtaining
of arms, continued late into the winter of

than to the people of tho country. Even at

The Campaigns of the Peninsnla and
of Maryland.
were without rifles, nor were the utmost ex
ertions on the part of the military authorities
adequate to overcome the obstacles to active
service.
Wien aeieneth the army was in condition
to take the field the peninsular campaign was
E loaned and entered upon witlr enthusiasm
y officers and men. Had this campaign been
followed up as it was designed,.-1 cannot
doubt it would have resulted in a glorious
triumph to our arms, and the permanent res
toration of the power of the Government in
, Virginia and North Carolina, if not through
- out the revolted States. It was, however,
otherwise ordered, and tbs army of thcPdto
mae was recalled from within sight of Rich
mond and incorporated with the army of
Virginia. The disappointments of the cam
paign on the peninsula had not damped their
ardor or diminished their patriotism. They
fbnght well, faithfully, gallantly under Gem
Pope; yet were compelled* to fall bock on
Washington, defeated and almost demoral
ized. The enemy, no longer, occupied in
guarding his own capital;, poured his
troops northward, entered Maryland,
threatened Pennsylvania. and even
Washington itself Elated by Ms recent vic
tories, and assured that onr troops were
disorganized and dispirited, he was confident
that the seat of war was now permanently
transferred to the loyal States, and-that bis
own exhausted son was to be relieved from
the burden of supporting two hostile armies.
Bnt he did not understand the spirit wMch
animated the soldiers of the Union. I shall
not, nor can I, living, forget that when I was
ordered to the command of the troops for the
defense of the capital, the soldiers with whom
I bad shared so much of the anxiety
and pain and suffering of the war, had not
lost their confidence In mo as their command
er. They sprang to my can with all their
ancient vigor, discipline and courage. lied,
them into Maryland. Fifteen days after they
had fallen back defeated before Washington,
they vanquished the enemy on the ragged
heights of South Mountain, pursued to the
hard-fought field of Antletom, and drove him,
broken and disappointed, across the Poto
mac, into Virginia.
• The army had need of rest after the terri
ble experience of battles and marches, with
scarcely an interval of repose, wMeh they
had gone through from. the time of leaving
the Peninsula; The return to Washington,the
defeat in Virginia, the victory at Sooth Moan
tain. and again at Antietam. It was not sur
prising that they were in a large degree desti
tute of the absolute necessaries to effective
duly.. Shoes were worn out and blankets
were lost; clothing was in rags; in shorttho
army was unfit for active service, and jm in
terval for rest and equipment was necessary.
When the slowly-forwarded supplies came
to ns I led the army across the river, renova
ted, refreshed, In good order and discipline,
and followed the retreating foe to a position
where I was confident of decisive victory;
when, in the midst of the movement, while
my advanced guard was actually in contact
with the enemy, I was remitted from the
command. » * * Instead of
reporting a victorious campaign,
it has been my duty to relate The
heroism of a reduced army, sent upon an ex
pedition into an enemy’s country, there to
abandon one and originate another and new
•lan of campaign, which might and would
iave been successful If supported with ap
preciation of its necessities, bnt which ihiled
lecanse of the repeated failure of promised
support at the most critical, and. It proved,
the most fatal moments. That heroism sur
passes ordinary description. Its illustration
most be left for the pen of the historian in
times of calm reflection, when the nation
shall be looking back to the ptfst from the
midst of peaceful days. For me now it Is
sufficient to say, that my comrades were vic
tors in every field save one, and there the en
durance of a single corps accomplished the
object of its fighting, and by securing to the
army its transit to the James River, left to
the enemy a ruinous and barren victory.”

President Lincoln’s Last.
Major “Perley” Poore, the Washington
correspondent of the Boston Journal, in a re
cent letter, says that those who always have
a good stoxy to tell, as President Lincoln’s
last, ore responsible for the following: A few
days since—so they say—a New England gen
tleman called at the White House to propose
a newplan for capturing Richmond. ‘T know,
Mr. President,” said he “that the Union men
in the rebel capital, with the prisoners and
the contrabands there, are able to overpower
the garrison—so all that yon have to do Is to
let Gen. Meade make a diversion against
Lee’s army, and then let Gen. Butler go up
the James River" to co-opecatc with the
General 'Butler,” replied Mr.' Lincoln,
but I am jnot so sure about Rich
mond. Tour plans remind me of a
story told of a lot of Methodist ministers,
who were the trustees of a Western college.
It so happened that the college waa connect
ed with a neighboring town by a bridge, and
that this bridge was subject to be carried
away by freshets. At last they held a special
session, to receive the plans of a noted bridge
builder, a good mechanic, bnt rather a pro
fane man. I*Can yon build this bridge?”
NUMBER 180.
; asked a reverend gentleman. “Build it,”
■bluntly replied themechanic, tr l could build
a bridge to”—[the' infernal regions}. This
horrified the trustees, and after the bridge
builder had retired,-the minister who had
recommended him thought proper to apolo
gize. “I feel confident!” said he, “that
our energetic friend could build a safe bridge
to Hades, although I am riot so sare of the
abutment on the other side.” And so with
your plan—concluded the President—l have
great confidence in Gen. Butler, but doubt
the strength of the Unionists*!:! EichmaucL”
X Tobacco-Factory BurnefiTa St.Lools.
At five o’clock this morninff the largo es
tablishment of M. S. Mepham dc Bro., ba Lo
cust street, between Second and Third,
caught fire. The building fronts on Locust
70 feet, runniugback on the alley to s depth
,of 146 feet, tn the front part was a large
\ stock of dried and-canned fruits, cheese, and
other articles, and-the center and rear were
occupied as the tobacco factory. The fire
Was first seen on the east side or the center,
near the drying room, and was undo* fell
headway before the alarm was given.
The engines arrived a-fewminutes after five
o’clock, and from that time until eleven
threw unremitting streams of water upon:
tho flames. The fire WE6 l at length subdued';
but not until nearly the whole stock of the
firm, in all ports of the building, was con-*
sumedy or so 'damaged hy water as to be
almost worthless. There' Was a large lot of'
canned fruits, however, tad a portion of It
may prove to be uninjured.
The fire is supposed to have been the work
of an incendiary, as there was no Arc iu any
part of the building at the time, and the
workmen-in the factory bad left at an early
hour the previous evening.
The loss- of Messrs. Mepham is estimated
at from ten to fifteen thousand dollars over
the amount of insurance. They had insur
ance on their stock of groceries, fruits, &c.,
to the amount of $37,500.— 5t. Louis Be nocrat,
