“THE EVENING STAR. | IINGTON CITY: WEDMDAY NOVEMBER 12, 1869. READING MATTER ON EVERY PAG os: OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- @RAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. ‘The Intelligencer notices the “ unneces<8ry ap- prehensiveness respecting the purpose of Mr. Lincolm in regard to the revocation of his so- called ‘proclamation of freedom,” as evi- denced by a portion of the press on account of Sa article which recently appeared ia the Jniei- Noencer. The Intelligencer says: ¥ to a-sure our nervons contempora- Pstyyhtng purposes of Mr. Lincoln are a- inacrutable to ux as to them, and that they need drive from our statement of the President's cal position no Auguries fatal to their re- spective wishes, whatever they may be. ‘The Repullicon again treais upea the removal of Ger. McClellan. It says: : “tis difficult to say which is mos: damaging to Gen. McC}ellan, the report of thigHarper's Ferry commission or Gen. Halleck's letter. « Gen. McClellan was not removedon account of either of these things, ~eparately or com- bined, taken by themselves, but from the grad- ual growth of a public sentiment unfavorable to him, and which finally reached such a point of strength as to be irresistible. “Undoubtedly, the northern elections pre- Cipitated the reeult.* The Chronicle argues that the tone of the re- cent elections as been a demand from the peo- ple to deal vigorously with the war, and that *-the Democratic members elect must redeem their war pledges to the people by executing the President's military orders.” 1 ~—-« ee o -———-—__ OUR MILITARY BUDGET. aaceeeeealpeiaoaes LATEST FROM KENTUCKY. i ENGAGEMENT NEAR GARRETTSBURG. SSS Ses THE FEDERALS VICTORIOTS. ToOMPLETE ROUT OF WOODWARD’ REBEL FORCE. La Graxor, Tenx., Noy. 11.—Major Generud H.W. Halleck, General-in- Chief :—The follow- ing dispatch has just been received from Gen. Davis, at Cglumbus, viz: “The expedition commanded by Brig. Gen. Ransom has proved a great success. It came up with Col. Woodward's rebel force, eight hundred -trong, near Garrftisburg: had a short engagement: killed sixteen of his men, among them one captain and @ lieutenant; woundins forly, incIuding one captain and two lieuten- ants; tock twenty-five prisoners, all their horses and fifty mules: large number of arms and equipments, bali the camps of Woodward's ten, meluding bis own; routing the wiole concern and driving thei out of the State of Kentucky. Our loss, three killed and seven wounded. U.S. Grant, Major General. CAPITAL ORDERS ‘The country will doubtless juin usia thank. ing the War Department for issuing, yesterday and the day before, two orders evidently de<- tined to have the happiest effect upon ourtuture militery operations. ‘The first is the order directing all officers of the Army of the Potomac then in Washington to rejoin their respective commands within twenty-four hours. Already it bas entirely cleared Pennsylvania avenue and the Wash. ington hotel! halls of more than halt the ofticer~ who last week swarmed them: those left being invalids, parol d prisouers and statf officers, quartermaster-, commissaries, surgeons, &¢., the latter necessarily here on duty. The in- stant return to theirrespective regiments of the large number of officers thus hurried to the front, must serve greatly to increase the efficien- cy of the Army of the Potomac. The second is the order decreeing that the Government railroad service shall hereafter be efficiently managed, pronouncing the pen- alty of instant dismissal ef those who fail to expedite the distharges of freight, &e. It may not be known to the public that very much of the difficulty between the late commander of the Army of the Potomac and the War Depart- ment concerning the alleged failare of che Ini- terto comply with the former's requisions fur supplies grew out of the distracted state of things in the management of the Government’< affairs om the railroad, recognized in this order, and thus abated by « single stroke of the Sec- retary's pen. There can be no doubt that with the exception of horses, nearly all articies called for by Gen. McClellan for the service of bis army, were instantly ordered to be for- warded tothe front, by the chiefs of the branches of the services to whom those orders were di- rected. In most instances they were forward- ed with admirable promptitude. But once Joaded in the railroad cars, they were lost sight of in a sea of confusion for weeks and Weeks, at times. Trains upon trains (of wa- ons) were sent to the railroad to conyey the supplies to the front. and were forced to return empty, becagse, though duly shipped, no ti- dings of the goods could be obtained. This, ss remarked above, is the key to much of the unfortanate misunderstanding between Gen. MeCletlan inthe field and the authorities here, upon this point. The Department's an- mouncement that all under its control who hereafter fail to do their best to secure prompt delivery of such freight shall instantly be dis- missed from the service will doubtless prompt. 1y cure this evil. GENERAL McCLELLAN. The manner in which General McClellan has obeyed the order direeting him torepair to Tren- ton, N. J., reflects the highest credit upon him Ss & man and a soldier. Thus he evidently aimed to avoid giving rise in the conrse of his journey to any demonstration that might in- crease the excitement in the Army and the pop- ular mind relative to his removal that could by any chance operate to embarrass the proper Prosecution of the campaign of the gallant Burnside. Headquarter: Sth Army Corps, Baltimore, Nov. 11. isee.} To the Editor of the Washington Star - Str—In the report, as published in the news- pa , Of the Commission, consisting of the follewing officers: Major General D. Hunter, U.S Vols.; x General G. Cadwalader, U. 4s Middle Department, $ Vole.: Brig. General C. C. Auger, U.S, Vols.: 5 Donn Piatt, A. A.G. U.S. Vols.; Capt. F. 1, A. D.C. U.S. Vols; and Col. J. Holt, ol Judge Advocate General, called by the Gov- ernment to investigate the conduct of cer- tain officers connected with, and the circum- stances attending the abandonment of Mary- nd Heights and the surrender of Sco on ‘3 erry, I find the following remarks app! ying to myself: “The Commission would not have dwelled Upon this painful subject, were it not for the fact that the officer who placed the incapable (Col. (mort in Capra should share the re- — ity, and in the opinion of the Commis- sion, Major General Wool is guilty to this ex. tent of s grave disaster, and should be censured for his conduct.” If the report of the Cemmission in relation te the surrender of Harper's Ferry, has no more truth for its a than is contained in the above paragraph, 3! can only be regarded as a fection erithout a shadow of proot for its foun- dation. It is mot true, that I placed “this incapable ( Col. Biles) in command of He "s Berry.” He was there in command when I assnmed control ot this ent, and had been ordered toes. tablish his uarters there on the 2%h of Merch, by Major Gen. McClellan, then gen- ersl-ir-chief. the 30th of April the Secre- of War sent the followi & order to Col. a Harper's Fe: You will please of state of your com- T bave not mow time ie Ay ame ta not further the “censure” of the Commission; ie I am at leisure, it will receive the Attention which it merits. Jouw E. Woo, Major General U.S. Army. *@ In pursuance of the recommendations of the Military Commission in relation to the eur. reader of Harper's Ferry, the Secretary of War as dismissed from the service Colonel Wm. H. Ford, of the 32d regiment, and Major Wm. H. Baird, of the 126th New York infantry. Gen, Julive White and the subordinate officers whom the Commission acquitted are released trom arrest. The Military Commission, Bayving ac. COmpli«bed its duties, is dissolved. | Unfounded Repert An sed her Rebel Raid inte Pennsylvania. Ha @uisne xo. Nov. 11.--A report prevailed here this afternoon that the Rebels were ia | Mercersburg, and on their way to Chambers- burg, but the report is generally believed to have been caused by squads of Union cavalry | in that vicinity, purchasing horses. A Rebel Ferce Reported Near Munford- — ville—The Telegraph Line to Nashville | Interrupted. 4 Lovisvitte, Noy. 11—The Journal says that a Rebel force, under Gen. Wheeler, was within fifteen miles of Muafordville last nizht, when reinforcements were ordered forward. Gen. Gilbert has sufficient forces to protect } the river bridge. A rumor prevailed that Gen. Rosecrans or- dered the trains proceeding from Louisville to- wards Nashville to return. 5 } In the absence of any telegraphic communi- | cation from the reporter of the Associated Press at Nashville, we infer that all is quiet. Lieut. Johrson, of the 7th Regiment Ken- tucky Unién Volunteers, a brother of Adam KR. Johnson, the Rebel guerilla chief in Green Tiver egunty, tendered his resignation to Maj. Gen. Cook, alleging as a reason the publication by the Pr-sident of his Emancipation Procia- matién, when Gen. Cook ordered him to be ar- rested and cent to the military prison in irons. | After ten or fifwen days’ confinement, no charges having been preferred, General Boyle relea:ed him, ordering him to rejoin his rezi- ment. Johnson again tendered his resignation on the same ands, when he was placed under arrest, dismissed the service in disgrace and his insignia of office stripped from him in presence of the whole regiment. i General Rosecrans’ orders on the subject were read at the head of the regiment, and Jobnson was sent back of our lines to report t+ General Boyle, and directed not to re-enter our lines. Latxr.—The Southern line was workiag te Nashville between noon and five o'clock this afternoon. At the latter hour it gave out, and Was probably cut by the guerillas south of Gallatin, to Which place it is now in operation. Guerillas Repulsed in Kentucky. Istlawarortt, Nov.9.—On Wednesday night last, & battalion of Col. Shackelford’s Regiment, &th Kentueky Cavairy, commanded by Major Holloway, was attacked by a Idtge force of guerillas, under command of A. Fowler, on Pond river, seven miles from Madisonville, Ky.,on the Greenville road The attack was gallantly met, and the rebels compelled to re- turn, with a loss of eight killed, including Col. Fowler, and a large number of wounded and several prisoners. Fowler was one of the men who sent the flag of truce to Henderson on Tuesday. and which was so treacheroysly violated by un attemptto carry out information of the strength and posi- tion of the Union troops. The person in charge of the flag was numed Winstead, and w. promptly arrested and placed in jail as a sp. Tearning tho fate of their messenger, they crossed the Ohio on Friday night, to West Franklin, Ind., and carried away Dr. Ham, a peaceable citizen, whom they now hold asa hostage for Winstead. A man named Seales; a low but desperate character. who has been particularly active arresting Union men and robbing indiscrimi- nately, was desperaiely wounded, reqniring the amputation of his arm. aAdain Johnson, who, like John Morgan, seems to like to steal and plunder better than to fight, had, it seems, been with Fowler, but, before the fight commenced, left for the osten- sible purpose of bringing up reinforcements, but failed to retarn until the fight was over and bis friends routed. Interesting from Cairoand West Tennessee. | Cargo, Noy.7 —Co‘orel Dome, at Fort Henry, telegraphs as follows : “General Ransom has doubtless had a fight with Woodward yesterday afternoon. At 3p. m. heayy cannonadingswas heard at Fort Hen- ry, evidently between Hopkinsville and La- fayett® Nothing has been received from Ran- som personally.” * jonel Dome telegraphed about § o’clock in rening as follows: clock last night, our cavalry, the 5th , from Gen. nsom’s command, were pursuing Woodward.

The small pox is raging amoug the contra- bands to a feartul extent. Fifteen or twenty Were attacked to-d: (The «intelligence from Legrange,” referred to above, may be guessed at from a dispatch in the Richmond papers. dated Holly Springs, Mississippi. Nov. 5th, ich says the Tnion forees had advanced in torce to Lagrange, and were reported marching on Holly Springs.] +202 Berssipe ano McCLeLtan.—The friends respectively of these two brave officers are ex. ceedingly indignant at the allegation (for a purpose) of the New York Tribune, that ill- feeling has existed between Generals Burn- side and McClellan since the battle of Antie- tam. It is well known that they have stood to each other almostin the attitude of brothers that Burnside cried like a child on taking leave of McClellan, and that the latter, when the soldiers broke ranks and crowded around him expressing in every term of endearment their sorrow at his departure, begged of them as a personal favor to himself to transfer their love and confidence for him to one so well worthy to receive both as his successor. PrRsonaL.—Hon. A. W. Randall, First As- sistant Postmaster General, having returned from his visit to Wisconsin, entered upon the duties of his new office yesterday. Hon. John A. Kasson, member of Congress elect from Iowa, is on a visit here. ol. C. J. Hamilton, U. S. A.; Col. Jameson, Md.; Cols. De Korponay and Wallace, Pa; Capt. R. H. Douglass, U. S. N.; Col. J.C. Burk, N.

Edward Haight and Rey. Dr. Tyng, of New York, are in the city. SF The Democrats in IlMinois have carried both branches of the Legislature. They have fifteen members of the Senate (a majority of 5), and probably fitty-one members of the House (a& majority of 17). They will, therefore, elect & United States Senator to serve the unexpired term of Senator Douglas—that is, until the ith of March, 1566. 7 The investigation of the charges against Major General Fitz John Porter for failing to support Gen.

THE KAILROAD REPAIRED TO WARRENTON. e —————— {Special Dispatch to The Star.) . Gai nxsvit_r, Nov. 12.—Nothing of partiontar intercet has transpired here since Gen. McClel- ) Ian embarked yesterday on the carsat this pomt fer Trenton; with the intention of harrying through on his journey, and thus ayvid any | display by tarryingeven for afew hours in any city he must pass throngh The simy, which is now massed in the vicinity of Warrenton, has be@n at a stand. still since the receipt of the order transferring the command to Generai Burnvide. On the day preceding the night of ite receipt, General McClellan announced to many of his officers his belief that within three or four days, at furthest, he would fight the greatest batile of the war, and gain a victory for the Union that would probably end the rebellion. No one blames General Burnside for the «udden halt in the army's then rapid advance. Like one on a cosch box, into whose hauds the reins are suddenly transferred by the driver, while the steeds are ruehing along to a dangerous point on the road, he necessarily instantiy draws up, that he may get the “ribbons” fairly in his ; eTasp, feel the bite, and learn something of the difficulties of the road just ahead, before pro- | greseing farther. That is the necessary course { of ordinary pradence, though it may give the i relgl generals some days in which to prepare to receive the onslanght of onr army, they would otherwise have been deprived of. At present, our advance is only upon tha north bank of the Rappahaunock, though | Union ecouting cavalry parties now and then venture into Culpeper, from one to five miles beyond the river. It is not believed at head. quarters that Gen. Joe Johnson, now in com- mand of the Rebels in Culpeper, will venture to accept serious battle this sideof the Rapidan. McClellan's rapid progress for some days be- fore his removal prevented Johnson from get- ting ready to fight on the Rappsbahnock, where be could also have hada river in his tront, crossing Which under fire, would have muge or leas embarrassed our attack; and he has made no demonstration of a purpose to return and endeavor to occupy the southern bank, which he cunnot fortify in the leasi, with our artillery : ar. He will hardly fil to «rail himself of fense of having the Rapidan in front of when the fight may come off. In the mean- while, the considerable portion of Rebel army now between that river and Gordonsville is doubtless making the best possibie use of the few days of our necessary delay, in throwing up the defenses at the fords it was McClellan's evident intention to prevent being thrown up; as the rapidity of his last two-day.’ march To-day, the cars will travel the railroad all the way up to Warrenton—the repairs nece=- eary to that end having been completed, I hear.
