B. B. BLACKWELL, EDITOR.
Tiie Press lias Nearly Double the Circu
lation of any Paper in Huuterdou Co.
Tin* Romance oi'tlie War.
The persua ivc power of speech and
the sophistry of the pen must yield in
ti e extremity of nations to a higher
umpire. The sword, man’s oldest ap
peal, has found in this war its original
dignity, and the master men that led
in debate, and were first at, the conn
ed have come at last to decide the is
sue with arms.
State Rights and Federal Rights
have contended a long while upon the
tiimp and in the Senate; for in the
eloquence of the framers of the Con
stitution onr troubles began. After
eighty years of agitation, their final
adjustment must be left to generals
rather than orators or writers.
We1 now present tiie attitude of con
tinuous armies extending across the
continent between the sea and the
prairies—three hundred thousand men
on either side—to fight out these rival
issues. And, apart from its terrible
consequences, and the immediate sin
in'which it was begotten, this war is a
noble and sublime spectacle. It dem
onstrates the heroism and strength of
both sections. It has resolved a race
of civilians into a race of soldiers. It
is a struggle of ideas that do not flinch
from deeds, and of principles that will
not be yielded but with life. It is a
demonstration of practical indepen
dence worth more than the eulogies of
a century. These armies have been
voluntarily gathered, and they are
greater than any that tyranny ever
brought into the field. States that,
united, maintained a standing army
smaller than the present garrison of
Paris, have separately enlisted forces
greater than the entire armies of most
of the nations of Europe. Citizens
whose wealth and influence would have
placed them, under tyrannies, beyond
1 he reach of conscription, are enlisted
in onr volunter armies, side by side
with the toiling and obscure, feeling
common devotion in a common cause.
Not men alone, but money, is freely
subscribed to the Republic. The
great manufactories are turned into
armories. Those who do not wield
the spear are beating out the sword,
and wives, the reward of whose self
sacrifice is widowhood and want, place
t he steel in the soldier’s hand and cheer
him on to battle !
The whole country is bristling with
bayonets. When the echoes of Sump
ter had reached New England l er
children were on the march, and be*
fore the sound of hostilities had bro
ken upon Europe, troops from twelve
States had rallied on the border line.
In any cause but this, we would have
hailed the spirit of the South. If
bold, bad men, can thus stir up the
people of a section, what could we not
expect of the whole country, contend
ing for a common right !
The Northerner, quick in a bargain
bat slow at a blow; the Southron,
indolent bnc when impelled by passion,
will exhibit in this contest their sever
al individualities. It has commenced
with a few slight successes in favor of
the hot blood am? fierce courage of the
South. It will end in the greatest
victories of modern times, achieved by
the sagacity and indomitable perseve
rance of the North. The latter brings
to its aid resources of art, intelligence,
and persistence ; the former an animal
courage that every reverse will cool,
and a common malevolence that defeat
will change into feud and insubordina
tiou.
Upon one > ido are engaged good
instincts perverted, power without or
der, and a principle in itself subversive
and ruinous ; on the other, elements of
discipline, endurance, and integrity,
that, having fo.* their motive, the wel
fare of the nation, nud the common
good of man, will neither be intimmi
dated by losses nor unduly flushed by
success. Going steadily forward, with
good conscience and resolute hearts,
civilization will go with them, and the
heresy an 1 indolence that slavery has
begotten will resign a beautiful and
fertile section to tree industry, a free
Gospel, and free thought.
The crusade we wage has nothing of
fanaticism about it. And while the
results that we predict were not the
objects for which the war was begun,
a greater hand than ours, that is gui
ding the eleraeuls for the welfare of
mankind, will make them, if not inten
ded, not less inevitable.
Our motives nave changed since the
commencement of the war. We are
almost prepared to accept any instru
mentality or advocate any reform.—
Constitutional obligations have res
trained us, but the most prudent be
gin to assume that those who break all
laws deservo little protection. Each
event will radicalize this contest, and
enlist new motives, so that, to the phi
losophic eye, these
“ SpiritJ
Of great events stride on before the events,
And in to-day already walks to-morrow.”
France and America.
It is impolitic as unfair for some of
the New York papers to publish letters
from abroad in which it is asserted
and reasserted that France is ready,
even anxious, to acknowledge the in
dependence of “ the so-called South
ern Confederation.” Against these
intimations we would place the plain
fact that, up to this time, the emperor
Napoleon has maintained, not only in
the spirit but to the letter, the neutral
ity which, in his ordinance of .Tune
13th, he frankly declared to be the pol
icy of his country. By far the most
sagacious of living sovereigns, Napo
leon has borne himself with good faith
and loyalty through all the troubles
which have sprung up hero since Mr.
Lincoln’s entrance into the Executive
administration of American affairs —
He declared to the world that ho
would be strictly neutral, and he has
kept his word. Palmerston made a
similar declaration on the part of Eng
land, and has repeatedly violated his
promise.
The Late§t War Hews.
Washington, Oct, 21—Midnight.
—General Stone crossed the Potomac,
this morning, with one portion of his
command, at Edward’s Ferry and an
other at Harrison’s Island.
Skirmishing began between the en
emy in uncertain numbers, and a part
of General Stone’s command, as early
as nine o’clock in the morning, and
continued, without much effect, untill
nboat five o’clock in the afternoon,
when large reinforcements of the enemy
appeared upon our right, which was
commanded by Colonel Baker, ( Sena
tor from Oregon.)
The Union force engaged number
ed about 1,800, and were attacked by
a force supposed to be from 5,000 to
10,000.
At this juncture, Col. baker fell
at the head of his brigade, gallantly
cheering on his men to the conflict.
Immediately before he fell, he de
spatched Major Young to General
Stone, to apprise him of the condi
tion of affairs, and Gen. Stoue imme
diately proceeded in person toward
the right to take command, but in the
confusion created by the fall of Col.
Baker, the right wing sustained a re
pulse with considerable loss.
Gen. Stone reports that the left
wing retired in good order. He will
hold possession of Harison Island and
the approach thereto.
Strong reinforcements will be sent
forward to Gen. Stone during the
night.
The remains of Col. Baker were
removed to Poolesville, and will be
brought to this city on Wednesday.—
He held his commission as colonel from
the State of Pennsylvania, having
lately received it at the hands of Gov.
Curtin, as commander of the Califor
nia Regiment.
The report published in some of
the morning papers purporting to be
official, and stating that it was the
Vincennes and not the Preble that
was sunk at New Orleans is not from
the Navy Department. No official
report has been received, nor is one
expected in less than ten days.
So many conflicting rnmors are tel
egraphed from Missouri that is evi
dent the aspect of affaire there is con
stantly changing. On Sunday we
were informed that Price would prob
ably make a stand, yet yesterday we
were told that he was again retreat
ing. Gen. Albert S. Johnson, one of
the ablest men in the rebel ranks, is
reported to have been chosen to com
mand the army in that quarter, and
this indicates that they attaefa great
importance to its operations, and ex
pect it to perform great achievements.
A Washington despatch announces
that the Administration is convinced
of the necessity of the reorganization
of the Union forces in that department
and that Gen Freemont will not ha
continued in command of it.
The good discipline and extraordi
nary ardor of our troops, in their re
cent movements, afford a subject for
military ecomium.
f
The New York Post learns, from
good authoritity, that certain English
capitalists have made a proposition to
Mr. Chase to take a hundred millions j
of the loan of-the United States Gov- j
eminent at six and a half per cent in- j
terest.
Watching the Enemy.—Small
bouts well armed, are sent out. every ;
night, wi,h muffled oars, to cruise up
aud down the Potomac, in search of
i bouts crossing with mails, carrying
over Secessionists, or engaged in
smuggling goods over to Virginia.
The latest acconnts from Missouri
state that Gen. Hardee, who was re
ported to he ie eommnnd of the rebel
troops ao Bowling Green, Kentucky,
was marching with 20.000 men to re
inforce Gen. Price, and it i. expected
that he will effect a junction with hint
in a few days.
Important battles are soon expect
ed in Kentucky, if the rebels do not
flee at the approach of our armies
which it is supposed will soon make a
simultaneous advance on the south
eastern and southwestern sections of
the State.
Our Foreign Relations.—Those
who are affected with weak nerves
will probably be relieved by the fact
which was ascertained at the State
Department yesterday, that the ad
vices received by the mails of the
Arabia are more than usually salisfac
tory ; but there is great activity in
schemes for the violation of th? block
ade and inti 'i hieing contraband goods.
Low Prices at the West.—The
extreme West suffers considerably in
consequence of the war for want of ;»
market for its superabundant pro
ducts. A letter from a correspondent
in Iowa says that eggs were selling at
one cent a dozen, and corn at fifteen
cents a bushel; apples, with which
trees are loaded down twenty-five to
thirty cents per bushel ; flour two
dollars per 100 pounds.
The Return op the Massachusetts
First.—The Massachusets First re
turned some days ago to quarters, at
Bladenbnrg, after a month’s absence
in Prince Frederick, Md. They seiz
ed, in small lots, a large quantity of
muskets, sabres, &c., They staie
that the county is full of Secessionists
to the extent ot a majority of all the
inhabitants ; but they say nothing to
criminate themselves.
Notwithstanding the capture of a
vessel while it was being towed up the
Potomac, others have siuce safely
reached Washington. The statement
that the rebels had stretched a chain
across the river is denied by our tel
egraphic despatches, and we are as
sured that the Governmennt is about
to take steps which will prevent the
interruption of navigation.
The important intelligence is tel
egraphed from Washington that the
Governor ha? determined to com
mence proceedings forthwith for the
confiscation of the real and personal
property of persons known to lie aid
ing the rebels. Information isalrerdv
before the authorities implicating a
large number of persons, and their
cases will be at once pressed for trial.
The Governor of Iowa has issued
a circular urging the people of his
State to be prepared for every emer
gency. In the event of the rebels
being successful in Missouri—a possi
ble, though by no means probable
issne-r-vtbejr attention would be turned
to the invasion of Iowa, and the Gov
ernor thinks that suitable prepara
tions should be commenced to meet
such a contingency.
Peppers Prohibited.—An order
has been issued prohibiting itinerant
vendors and pedlers from visiting the
camps. They abused the priviledges
which they enjoyed by secretly selling
liquor to the soldiers. Besides, they
seriously interfered with the business
of the sutlers, who are responsable to
the officers of the regiments in which
they are located. A number of the
pedlers are from Philadelphia, and
they feel very indignant that their
traffic should be interfered with.
The Louisville Democrat of Sunday
last says that:
“ John C. Breckinridge and Colonel
John S. Williams made a trip to
Richmond recently, and returned to
their rendezvous at Prestonburg last
Tuesday. They are engaged in the
work of alarming the people of the
mountains by circulating incredible
stories as to the intentions of the Gov
ernment, and are using every means,
fair and foul, to win followers to their
camp.”
Illegal Permits.—It is represen
ted by several offcers of the customs
that permits have been given by un
authorized persons in Northern cities,
including municipal officials for the
transportation of goods destined for
localities in or contiguous to the dis
loyal States. As the power to gra/it
permits in such cases is solely vested
in the President and the Secretary of
the Treasury, those from other sour
ces are consequently worthless In all
cases where permits are necessary, ap
plication must be made to the Secre
tary of the Treasury, with a full state
ment of the facts.
Andrew Johnson in Ohio.—Much
of the glorious triumph of the Union
Democrats and Republicans in Ohio
is to be attributed to Andy Johnson
of Tennessee, who spoke in many por
tions of the State, and with over
whelming effect. His ! paech at Day
ton, in that State, shortly before the
election on Tuesday last, was so effec
tive that the celebrated Vallanding
ham, who lives in that town, was ut
terly squelched out in his count v, city,
and vvard.
Lord Lyons has addressed a brief
circular to her Majesty’s consuls in the
Southern States, enclosing the follow
ing ns embodied in the official note of
the Secretary of State, viz :
“ The law of blockade, which does
not permit a vessel in a blockade port
to take on board cargo al’tei the com
mencement. of the blocked •, will he ex
pected to be strictly observed by all
vessels blockaded by the naval forces
of the United Stales.”
Lord Lyons instructs those consuls
to take this law for their guidance.
Panic in Richmond.—The F. F.
V.’s, who hold their high and ragged
court in the capital of the old Domin
ion, are inconstant fear of the advance
of the Union troops; and what alarms
them most is the disaffection of the
rebel soldiers, many of whom are
without shoes, and most of them have
not been paid for weeks. McClellan’s
sljw but sure advance on Manassas
is reported to them with every clement
of exaggeration. The theatrical farce
of those miserable traitors will soon
be over. <
Return of Dr. Hayes’ Poi.ar Ex
pedition.—Halifax Oct. 9, 1891.—
Dr. Hayes of the Polar Expedition,
arrived here this morning in the Uni
ted States. Two have died, namely,
August Sontng, the ^astronomer, and
Gibson Carnthers.
Dr. Hayes reached Smith’s Straits
onthe 10th of August, last year, but
could not penetrate the strait with
his vessel, either last season or this.
H i wintered at Port Foulke, near
Cape Alexander, and with dog and
sledge, reached latitude 81 deg. 35min.
on May 18th, this year.
Cincinatti, Oct. 18.—Yesterday,
General Sherman telegraphed an ur
gent demand for reinforcements, and
in the evening, when Secretary Cam
eron and adjutant General Thomas
arrived in this city from Louisville,
despatches were immediately sent to
Pittsburg, Indianapolis and Chicago,
ordering 8,000 troops to be forwarded
to General Sherman by special trains.
These troops are doubtless now
well on their way, and apprehensions
for the safety of Louisville may, there
fore, be dismissed.
Everything indicates action in that
direction, and important news may be
expected speedily from the Central
Kentucky column.
Reports of the insubordiuation and
disbandment of regiments of the reb
el army so frequently reach us, that
there is good foundation for some of
them. So large a portion of the pop
ulation of the South has been sent to
the war, imperfectly clothed and equip
ped, that it is not strange that intense
dissatisfaction Is created. A despatch
from Darncstown states that two of
the rebel regiments, which were recent
ly encamped near Great Falls, have
mutinied and abandoned their com
panions The appearan *e ot the re
cent rebel camp at Big Spring, in
Western Virgin:a, when it was visited
by a portion of the command of Gen.
Reynolds, indicated that a portion of
the rebels, lately stationed there, bad
disbanded and returned to their homes.
A Day op Rumors.—Damo Rumor
was unusually busy last Sunday_
We had any quantity of reports of the
most frightful and improbable char
acter. It was said that General Sick
les had set ont at the head of an ex
pedition for Matthias Point—that
there had been an engagement at Al
exandria—that Chain Bridge was
menaced by 15,000 men—that Lees
burg was in the hands of the Federal
army—that an indefinite number of
ships had been shattered by the rebel
batteries on the Potomac—that Pres
ident Lincoln had been captured while
on a sailing cruise down the river,
and that Beauregard had evacuated
Fairfax, and was now on the way to
Manassas. To all of these rumors we
give a simple denial. There is no
truth in any of them.
The Freemont Trouble.—It seems
to be an established fact that General
Freemont is really to be removed.—
The charges made against him were
forwarded to the President by the
friends of Mr. Blair. It is reported
that he has involved the Government
in unnecessary expenditures to the
amount of nearly ten millions of dol
lars ; that he gave to his California
friends contracts for fabulous amounts
without requiring any security what
ever ; that he denied Government of
ficers interviews with him unless it
particularly suited him ; that he as
sumed supreme powers which were
not delegated to him; that he did
not obey the instructions of the Gov
ernment unless they met his views.
The friends of General Freemont here
say, in unmistakeable language, that
he has been unfairly dealt with ; that
l\e Jbas been villaneously persecuted
because soi^e ^embers of the Cabi
net are jealous of his popularity ; and
that when an investigation takes plac/?
he will make these things manifest,
and show a cleaner record than any
other ofljeer of his rank in the ser
vice.
\ olunteers for California ani>
OREGON.~-Noar, that all the regulars
in Oregon and California have been
ordered to report either to General
McClellan^, General Fremont, or Gen
eral Sherman, the utmost activity pre
vails among the citizens on the Pacific
coast, who are ra'sing volunteers in
large numbers to take the place of the
regulars. Even in Nevada Territory
several companies of volunteers have
reported for duty to t‘ e military nu
i thoritiesjn California. ' Heavy sub
scriptions arj being raised in San
FranciscoJard Sacramento, for the
support of the volunteers and their
families, and it is estimated that 30,000
of these iirinve men will soon be under
arms. Tfie regulars leave their mus
kets and accoutrements behind them,
which will he used by the volunteers,
and wheni.he regulars reach Washing
ton they will bo supplied with new
arms.
ImporAnt Military Movements
—It is Holy decided by Government
to pnshsjkty thousand Eastern troops
into the West—one half into Missou
ri. These, with the Western troops
going forward, will swell the ''Western
and Southwestern armies to vast pro
portions. I Out of tho e pushing on
into Missouri another wing will be
formed, uider a new command, to
procedd wjith the new gunboats and
transfort steamers down the Mississip
pi duringJtlie autumn months. Gen.
Wool, it is thought, will command the
river fieetfand army. In these three
three branches of the Union array
there wiilj be not less than 200,000
men, and the Government will expect
the most Inergetic movements at the
hands of the officers in command, and
no rest nfitytil the Union has asserted
its authoity and rebellion has been
thorough^ crashed out
PuNimdENT OF A SOLDIER FOR
Stealin®—One of the dragoons en
campedblpk of the Capitol, the other
day boBglt a watch for $30, from an
other sole er in the same company.
He afters ards stole the money back,
and wa$t night. He has now to march
around t] b encampment every alter
nate horn day and night, carrying a
heavy ba 1 and chain, and has a largo
placardo i his back, with the word
“thief” >rinted on it. He is com
pelled to take his lonely ronnd for
thirty da *, when he is to have his
head sha< ed, and be drummed out, of
camp to the tune of the “ Rogues
March.” There is great objection on
the part f many of onr people here
to this n: )de of punishment. They
denounce it as cruel and barbarous.
In nearly every encampment soldiers
are tied i p to fences and wagon wheels
with the • offences labeled on their
breastso backs. It is certainly a
very ham Hating sight.
A c’esplttch received last night from
Washington states that onr Govern
ment has learned that the rebel com
missioners, Slidell and Mason, who
were onboard the vessels which re
cently run the blockade at Charleston,
are noto^ly authorized by Jeff. Davis
to form! commercial treaties with
France and England, but to place the
Seceded*States directly under the
protection oj foreign Governments.
This is|a startling proposition, and
shows not only the desperation of the
rebel leaders, but their utter disregard
of republican institutions and their
willingness to convert a large propor
tion of onr fair lend into a meic ap
pendage of a foreign crown.
We bye always contended that
these halers were at heart haughty
aristocrat, and this measure prove
that theyfare not only deadly foes
of the republican principle of submiss
ion to the will of the majority, which
has been jso gloriously and successfully
illustrated by the wonderful prosperity
of our country up to the outbreak of
the rebel? on, but that if titles can be
won for fthemselves they are ready
forevert<| sacrifice the liberties of their
fellow-cofmtrymen, and thus to doubly
delude land betray the misguided
masses of the South whom they have
persuaded or forced to join their infa
mous cobspiracv.
We trait,however,that oar goverment
will take efficient measures to combat
this nc^ demonstration It is by no
meansci rtain that Mason & Slidell will
be enabl d to reach Europe Several
fast-saili ig vessels left New York on
Wednes ay to intercept them, and
even if t ie opiuion expressed by one
of our correspondents that the rebel
vessels Will sail for the West Indies
is correoi, they may still be intercept
ed. Hi® if all pursuit is eluded, they
will fitidjour ministers ready to com
bat the® at, the European courts, and,
if the wlrst must come, the Araeric m
people fillstand by their flag and their
Union i&ainst a world in arms.
