The Republican, being at its witsend toinyent new detraction of Gen. McClellan, quotes at second-hand to-day from the New York Time:, blaming McClellan for the non-evacnation of Harper's Ferry. Raymond, of the Times, has been all things by turn in reference to Gen. MeCtelan, one day praising him as a demi-god and the next abusing him like a pickpocket, aud even going the length of copying the slang aimed at that officer by a New York flash paper—slang such as even the Tribune, bitter as st MeClellan, has utterly refused to soil its columns with. The secret of itis t Raymond is playing for the United States Senatorship trom New York, and fin ts it advisable to court favor with the radical anti- McClellan influence of that State. ee THE ONE THING NEEDFUL Every general officer who has had occasion to make representations to the Government with reference to the future prosecution of the ‘war, has urged the vital necessity for promptly filling up the old ments, as being the one thing needful to seenre speedy Victory for the good cause of the restoration of the Union. There has been no exception to this general rule. In response, the Government, here have taken some measures to that end, which, however, have proved almost abortive’ because up to this time the policy on which they are founded has been carried out in but a single State—Connecticnt—and there but par- tially. We here refer todraftine, without which all hope of filling rp the old reciments in due tame must surely fail. The rebel authorities keep their experienced regiments full hy con- scripting at the point of the bayonet; knowing well that a green soldier becomes serviceable in ® month when serving in a regiment of expe- rienced men; whereas no new regiment ever @0t together has become ax reliable as it should 2, under six months’ or a year’s actual service in the field and in the face of the enemy. It is stated that in the recent battles in Maryland Our new troops did admirably; for which they certainly deserve great credit. But the trath is, but two or three such regiments were ven- tured under fre; and those, only after the battles in which they were engaged had been substan- ually won by their veteran companions in arms; and there was more or less faltering on the part of some of them it is well known. While the components of our new regi- Ments are almost universally of the very best description to make capital soldiers—are Perhaps better material than those of the old regiments were originally—without as Jong preliminary training as the iatter had, they cannot possibly become as reliable and serviceable as they should be when opposed te experienced troops so sternly and effectively disciptmed as is the army of the rebel Lee. There is not a single army offieer or civil functionary having connection direct or indirect with the prosecution of the war, who does not know this to be positively and ande- hiably true. While the former are begging and Praying to haye the old regiments quickly filled up, as the only possible means of bringing the wear to a speedy successful end, the latter seem to have far greater dread of the effect of the alleged unpopularity of a draft upon their own prcspects in the approaching elections, than of the cost in loyal blood and treasure, and ulti- mate consequences, of another year of unsuc- cessful war. The Inte convocation of Gov- ernors might have done some good, if instead of intriguing to displace this and that general Officer for political ends, they had resolved instantly and rigidly to enforce the draft in their respective States long since ordered by the President; as one thousand men infused by the hundred in ten experienced regimeuts, must, Yor the first year of their service, be more Teliably effective than five thonsind new men with inexperienced officers at their head We can look for no substantial change in eur- rent of the war as it has run since the r-bels have been conscripting and since we stopped recruiting by direction of Congress, until the earnest advice in this connection of all our general officers in the ficld shall be energeti- cally carried out . New Pratearions—From Philp & Solo- mons, £2 Pennsylvania avenue, we haye the following “The Hospital Stewara’s Manual,” by Jo- seph Janvier Woodward, M.D. Philadelphia: J.B.

John Ditmars, of Newark, N. J., all of which is:calculated to distress their faanilies. I would here pronounce it all false. We were ia the battle, but not in any action. We lay in the rear of Griftin’s battery, behind ahill,allday. We were there to support the battery, which was not attacked during the entire day, and at night the firingceased. Some tew shot and shell fell among our boys, but did no damage, the shells not bursting. GEN. HOOK “Aga,” of the Nun, writes: en. Hooker rode into the city to-day, and of course the object of much attention. When he drilled his old brigade near Bladens. burg, an ubsequently commanded it, with the Excelsior Brigade, on the bank of the Po- fomac towards Aquia Creek, he was the subject of much abuse in Congress and out of it for not going into the business of liberating negroes, and his nomination was hung up in the Senate until after the exhibition of his fighting quali- ties At Williamsburg, &c.

The ordnance department of the yard is under his evelusive charge. i +s0ee Prorosrp Proumirony Leerst.ation—An ordinance has passed the lewer board of the Ww ington city councils proposing to tax the- atrical exhibitions in our midst hereafter at the rate of $2,000 per annum, and circuses at the rate of 39,000 per annum. Already the license tax for the privilege of exhibiting such pop- ular entertainments is higher in Washington than anywhere else in the Unit d Stites. To : din this bill, will simply be to prohibit the theater and circus among us hereafter; and as a consequence, to cut off from the corporation treasury the handsome and in- ed that the Board of Aldermen will have this bill; leaving the tax as it now stands, which never before yielded half as much as it yields at present, Raising the license to the amount proposed would be a piece of wisdom rd to that of the sapient old lady who killed her goose that laid golden eggs. “ANTIETAM.”—The Baltimore American says this word should be pronounced with the ac- cent on the lust syHable—as An Rebels are patam, ikely to pronounce it with a d—n.

(Correspondence of the Baltimore American.] Sanpy Hook, Md., Oct. 2.—President Lin- colu, accompanied by Gen. MeClernand and other distinguished persona, whose names your correspondent did not learn, came here by special train, and proceeded at once up the Potomac towards Gen. MeCielan’s headquar. ters.

Notwithanding th popularity of Gen. Williams, every officer and intn of the corps would hail such an event With acelamations, for none knew better his military ability than these. On Tnresday a fugitive citizen of Winchester found his way ito our lines. He reports t | according to the best information he could | gather, the enemy were massed at Falling Waters and in the vicinity of Martinsburg, the former place they were ‘said to be fortifying with breastworks. The Secess population of Winchester, he reports, w: thoroughly disgusted with the treatment of the Confeds by the citizens of Maryland on their recent «yisit of mercy .” They denounce the Marylanders as having become completely Yankecized and subdued. The real cause is that the reception in Maryland drove the Rebels bach to Virginia, and the en- tire products of the upper counties of the latter State are to be consumed, while the inhabitants must starve or migrate. There is much com. mon sense in this conclusion, as hams are no: selling in Winchester at Rebel rates, namely: Si per pound. This is the tender spot where not Winchester alone but the whole of Vir- ginia are feeling the effects of Secession, But vight hours ride trom Winchester, the same arucle is dull at 9210 cents per pound.

The place was approached by our troops with the utmost caution, as it was kuown thata Rebel force had been here, but in what numbers could not be ascertained. Lieut. Col. Karge, ist New Jersey cavalry, led the advance and dashed in town atarapid rate. The inhabitants at first supposed that it was a force of Rebel cavalry and weleomed us by waving handkerchiefs cheering.

We_ recognize in him the Chief Executive Magistrate of the Nation, the Commander-in.

And, impressed with the conviction that an army of reserve ought, until the war shall end, ta be constantly kept on foot, to be raised, armed, equipped, and trained at home, and ready for emergencies, we respoctfully ask the President to call for such a force of volunteers for one year's service, of not less than one hun- dred thousand in the aggregate, the quota of each State to be raised aftesit shall haye filled its quota of the requisitions already made, both fer volunteers and militia. We belieye that this would be a measure of military prrdence, while it would greatly promote the military education of the people. We hail with heartfelt gratitude and encour- aged hope the . eres of the President, issued on the 22d instant, declaring emancipated from their bondage all persons held to service or labor as slaves in the rebel States, whose rebellion shall last until the first day of January now next ensuing. The right of any persons to retain authority to compel any portion of the subjects of the Natienal Government to revel against it, or to maintain its enemies, implies in those who are allowed possession of such au- thority the right to rebel themselves; and there- fore the right toestablish martial law orm government-in a State or Territory in implies the right and the duty of the government to liberate the minds of all men living therein of protection, in order that all who are intellectually and morally, of may not be forced & tools of rebellious traitors. To i continued indefinitely the most efficient cause, support and stay of the rebellion, would have been, in our judgment, unjust to the loyal pro- ple whose treasure and lives are made a willing sacrifice on the altar of patriotism—would have discriminated against the wife who is compelled to surrender her husband, against the parent the camp and the perils of battle, in favor of rebel masters permitted to retain their slaves. Lt would have been a final decision alike against nity, justice, the rights and dignity of the Governme! and against sound and wise na- ‘YY. ‘Doe decision of the President to strike at the roo. o° the rebellion will lend new vigor to the effor s and new life and hope to the the peeple. Cordially tendering to the tfulassurances of personal rust and believe that the po ill be crowned | With sr. cess, will giv seedy and triumphant victors s Over our enemies, and secure to this uation and this people the blessing and favor of Alnighty God. We believe that the blood of the heroes who have already fallen, and those who may yet give thier lives to their country, will not have been shed in vain. The splendid valor of our soldiers, their pa- tient endurance, their manly patriotism, and their devotion to duty, demand from us and from all their countr, ph the homage of the sincerest gratitude and the pledge of our con- ant reinforcement and support. A just re- rd for these brave men, whom we haye con- tributed to place in the field, and for the im- portance of the duties which may lawfully pertain to us hereafter, has called us into friendly conference. And now, presenting to our Na- tonal Chief Magistrate this conclusion of our leliberations, we deyote ourselves to our coun- 's service, and we will surround the Presi- dent with our constant support, trusting that the fidelity and zeal of the loyal States and people will always assure him that he will be constantly maintained in pursuing with the utmost vigor this war for the preservation of the national life and hope of humanity, A.
