The reports from the war to-day are exciting, bat ambiguous, Rumors are prevalent that the rebels have crossed the Potomac, near Martins- burg, under Lee and Jackson, while Generel Longstroet was intending to cross farthor up the ‘The accounts of their movements, however, are conflicting and confused. Heavy firing is said to been heard at Harper's yeaterd indicating a fight there. Firing was also heard for four hours in the direction of Mar- tinsburg, Va., which is defended by General White. Nevertheless, the rebel Generals Lee and Lougstrcet were said to be still at Hagerstown yesterday. A despatch from Harrisburg, dated yesterday, says that heavy artillery firing was heard at Greencastle and Chambersburg during the morning, in the direction of Williamsport, and that our pickets have been driven in to the State line. State troops continue to arrive and leave for Chambersburg as fast as tranaportation can be for warded. It must be said that the retreat of the rebels across the Potomac is not eredited in Harrisburg: for in Philadeiphia, as is evident from the fuct, as slated in this city, that the State Treasurer of Pennsylvania has arrived here, bringing im- portant archives and much treesure with him, for safe keeping, and that many Philadelphia capi- ‘alists have seut quantities of specie here also for the same purpose. The intention of the rebels in Marylaud and Pennsylvania can as yet form ouly &@ matter of conjecture. General McClellan entered Frederick, with his staff, yesterday morning, Genora! Hooker having taken possession of it the night previous. it is said,that an attack was made by the rebel General Loring on Harper's Ferry, where General Dixon Miles was in command, in which the rebels wore repulsed with great slaughter. The account waa that Loring had crossed the Potomac at Wil- liamsport simultancously with the crossing of Jackson and Lee at Leesburg into Maryland. In- stead of marching towards Hagerstown, he had taken the river road by the canal, in the diree- tionof Harper's Ferry. A short distance above he attempted to ford the river with a large body have Ferry of cavalry and infantry, and when the river was cover.d with troops, General Miles opened fire upon them with his hat- tories from Camp Hall, and from the trestlework of the railroad with grape and canister, when the attempt was abandoned. They had alxo previously made an attempt to storm the batteries on Mary. land Heiglits, and were repulsed by masked batte” ries, scattering them and strewing the field dead. General Miles, as well as General Julius White, who is in command at Martinsburg, prove them- selves equal to maintain the points committed to their charge.

This hard fate, however, has come upon President Lincoln. Just as the rebels had chased Pope to the gatcs of Washington, and were kicking savagely at the very doors of the White House, President Lincolu’s republican friends began to pummel him vigorously in the rear. The crisis was a very ad and cruel one. Stonewall Jackson seemed determined to capture Old Abe and carry him in triumph to Richmond. The abo- lition radicals appeared equally dctermined to supersede the President and tie him to the chariot wheel of Fremont, the Dictator. On the one side, the rebels declared their intention of breaking up the goverumeni. On the other side, the radicals furiously demanded the resigna- tion of the President aud the destruction of the Cabinet. By the rebels Old Abe was de- nounced asatyrant. By the radicals the President was stigmatized as a despot. Be- sieged on the one hand by armed rebels, and on the other by fanatical abolition deputations, President Lincoln saw that the occasion re- quired the most consummate strategy. He therefore quietly changed his hase of opera- tions, and reinforced himself with General McClellan. The result is that Washington is safe, and the President and his Cabinet now hold an impregnable position. The rebele say that their plans for taking Washington were founded upon the supposition that General Pope wae stil! to hold the chicf command of our armies in the fleld. If this supposition bad proved true, General Lee would have attacked with a lorge force in front, and then have sent Jackson inte Maryland to make a flank and rear attack: and then, by this simple plan, which had been successful from the Rapi- dan to the Potomac. Pope would have been again compelled to fall back, and Washington would bave been evacuated by our troops and occupied by the rebels. Thi of strate which had £0 often sueceeded, might have done very well with Pope; but General Lee. after having sent Jackson into Maryland, hesitated to tvy it upon McClellan, and was finally com- pelled to entirely rearrange his plans. It was as if a chess player. having caleulated upon checkineting his antagonist by the simple maie in six moves, unexpectedly found that he was pitted against Morphy Hf, and was com pelled to change and enlarge bix game. and direct considerable attention to bis own ¢ fence. ut during this hesitancy of General lee our army was reorganized by the won- derful genius of General McClellan: new re- craite poured in from every quarter: a large nd well appointed army, under experienced was pushed ont to meet Jackson, end the rebels fouad Washington impregnable, and their own forces in danger of being cut off and destroyed. Consequently General Lee was obliged either to return to Richmond or to cross the Potomac to reinforce Jackson. He chose the latter alternative, and has placed the revel ermy just where we went it, The Potomac, probably swollen to @ flood by the re- cent heavy rains, possibly euts off all retreat. The way into pnsylvania is almost closed by the militia of vernor Curtin, now assem) ling upon the border.

Interference with McClellan nearly destroyed the Cabinet, and on'y his reinstate ment in command, with pledges of hearty sup- j Who drein the life blood of the people. port and co-operation, then preserved it and now renders it secure. The country may per- mit McClellan to be dismissed or to bo kept in command, as the President wills; but the coun- try has too much sense not to insist that the commanding general shall either be supported or dismissed; that if trusted he shall be trusted wholly and assisted cordially; that he shall not be allowed to be stabbed in the back, his plans deranged and his reinforcements withheld, whilo he even nominally enjoys the confidence’ of the government. It is upon just this idea that the Cabinet has now to rely, Its members now aid McClellan be- cause he is in command, and are ready to give him every encouragement and support. So long as they do this they share with him the confidence of the loyal masses of the country- Secure in this confidence, the President may well defy all the bitter attacks of the disap” pointed radicals, who are only anxious to oust his present Secretaries in order to hoist them- selves or their friends into the positions. His position, like Washington, is now impregnable. The bitter experience of the last few months has taught him whom to rely upon to command our armies and to temper the zeal of hia subor- dinate officials with a liitle moderation and dis- cretion. All obnoxious restrictions upon speech and travel have therefore been removed, and all footish and unnecessary arrests have ceased. The prospecis of the war are promis. ing. The whole contest is now to be conducted upon sound constitutional principles as regard ourselves, and sound military principles as re. gards our enemies. Thus General McCletlan has delivered the President from both the rebels and the radicals, and thus the Cabinet is to be undisturbed and the rebels bagged. The New Tax Laws. The new tax laws which have been pas cd by Congress are very imperfectly under- stood, and this confusion is increased by the delay which bas iaken place in the ap- pointment of the officers to carry the ex- cise tax into effect. Asa matter of fact, it is in operation now, and the assessors and col- lectors, when they commence their levy, will date it in from the 21st day of July, 1862, with certain exceptions noted further on. The system of taxation is divided into two branches, known as the “excise tax” and the “direct tax.” The latter increases the duty on certain articles of import—teas, coffees, sugars, spices, &c.—and also imposes a tax of twenty millions of dollars on all the States, to be levied upon the 1 estate, improvements and dwelling houces within each State; but it is provided that any State can assume its quota of this twenty millions, and, if so, an allowance of fif- teen per cent is made to the State, being about. the sum it would cost the government to collect it. It was enbsequently provided in the Excise Tax law that the further collection of any sums from the States, after the payment of the twenty millions, should be suspended until the Ist of April, 1865. The quota of the State of New York is $2,603,918 75, which will be levied through the uanal State officers. The Excise Tax law is that which will be felt most sensibly by the public. It is a novel spectacle in this country to see the taxgatherer going about; but it is one the people will cheerfully acquiesce in if they can only feel as- ‘sured that the money thus raised will be properly and effectually expended for the preservation of the governmenf. The amount cf taxation will not be as large as that in Great Britain, while the ability of the people to pay it is far greo'or. Nor is this debt created by any idiotic ~ «ute policy as to 2 balance of power, =. as can.ed the English debt, or to pay enor- ious salaries and pensions to an aristocracy It is an expense forced on us to maintain our free- dom, our government and oar nationality: and the man who docs not bear the burden cheer- fully is neither a good citizen nor a patriot. We believe, notwithstanding the malignant prophe- cies of the English press, that the United States will present another grand example to the world of its patriotism by the cheerful manner in which its people will bear the load which has been forced upon them. Already have they spontaneously poured ont their lives and trea- sure in defence of all they hold most dear, and when Congress «ystematized these offerings. by the passage of the Iuternal Revenue law. it only gave force and effect to the vehement demand of the public at large. So far, thank God, we hare sustained the government ourselves, wiih- out either appeal to or assistance from abroad. Nay, in the face of the most cruel taunts and the most blackguard outpourings of the lish press, And that same spirit which has vied us so far will enable us proudiy to con- tinue the batile, self-reliant, as a free people should be, and liberal as a prosperous people can well afford to be. In this conflict it is the uprising of the country in defence of its own integrity and nationality, and the world will yet look on with admiration at the spectacle of a people voluntarily making every sacrifice to preserve their iastitutions and their laws, and belug always in advance of their governmet The Excise law weut into effect on the 21et of July last, but is not uniform in its provisions as to the time when the eral taxes shall commence and date from. No one can read the law as it stands without being struck by the very careless and imperfect manner in which a great portion of it is drawn np. It will re- | quire, doubt! very considerable amend- ment, as, in iis present shape, it is scarcely in- telligible in some of its provisions, Much will therefore depend upon the intelligence of the officer whose duty it is to carry it out.

Our Mar or Tue Urexn Poromsc—For the information of our readers we publish to- day a carefully propared map of the Upper Potomac river, between Washington and Hancock—a distance of about one hundred miles—embracing between the places indicated all the points occupied by the rebel army and our own forces, on both sides of the stream, Down to the Little Falls, at the Chain Bridge, three miles above Washington, the course of the river is through a mountainous and rocky region, and the stream is generally shallow and abounding in rapids and falls. At Williamsport there is a good ford. It was here that the army of General Patterson crossed over in the spring of 1861, to look after that of General Joe John- ston; and it was here that General Banks, in Lis retreat from Stonewall Jackson, crossed over. Between Williamsport and Harper's Ferry there are several other fords, and at this ferry, com- manded by our batteries on the heights, there is a substantial bridge, built on the stone piers of that destroyed by Joe Jolnston in his retreat up the Shenandoah valley on the approach of General Patterson. Between Harper's Ferry and the Point of Rocks there is no ford for an army, on account of the project- ing gable ends of the Blue Ridge chain of mountains, through which, in this interval, the river passes. From the Point of Rocks down to the neighborhood of Leesburg there are several fords and ferries, all of which, we judge, are now commanded by General Mc- Clellan. From the Great Falls down to the Chain Bridge the course of the river is through a wild, rocky defile or, canon, rendered only the more wild and forbidding to fooiman or ferry- man by the succession ef falls and rapids which mark this portion of the stream. At the Chain Bridge we reach tide water, and here the shal- low, brawling Upper Potomac ends, and the calm, deep and majestic Lower Potomac begins. But as the upper river, on account of the vast mountainous region which it drains, may be rendered impassable for several days to an army, at any ford, by a single night's extensive rain, the reader will need no further explana- tion to show the critical position of General Lee, with one-half his army in Maryland and the other half in Virginia, and the dividing river threatening an impassable freshet from the late extensive rain. Hence we are not surprised to hear that the latest movements of Lee indicate his evacuation of Maryland, leaving the libera- tion of her plundered people to a more conve- nient season. Tae Jacomms War Comwirree anv THe Capi. NeT.—The subject of the secret consultation be. tween the Jacobin War Committee of this city and several of the Governors of the New Eng land States has at last leaked out. They were trying to contrive a way to reorganize the Ca- binet. These intriguos in regard to the Cabinet are quite as intricate and mysterious, much more amusing, and not half so dangerous, as the intrigues for and against our generals. So long as the radicals busy themselves with plots to oust the Cabinet nobody is hurt; but wheo our generals are interfered with lives are lost and the country brought to the brink of ruin. We can therefore afford to admire the harm- less mining and countermining now going on to turn out and retain the present Cabinet. It is very amusing, for exampie, to see the Chase mea blowing up the fuse which is to explode the whole concern, eager only to destroy Seward, and hoping to save Chase out of the wreck and keep him in the Treasury Depart- . Secretary Stanton is drilled from every rection, even Wendell Phillips joining in the 3 but he is considered powder proof. Behind—and encouraging the group of Cabi. net sappers and miners—stand Sumner, Wade and Company, licking their lips in eager ex- pectation, and ready to slip into the secretary- ships as soon as the present occupanis are blown out of them. All these busy workmen will labor in vain, however. The Cabinet is now as sound as a rock, and Old Abe has put his foot down, and keeps it firm. an Oncans.—The Tribune, Times. World, Post, Saipan and other republican organs are having a very unhappy time of it. Matters seem to be progressing too satisfactorily to suit these sensation abolition sheets. They are perfectly miserable because there is nothing to be miserable about. They are afraidof a rebel invasion; want the Cabinet reorganized ; sniff all sorts of imaginary conspiracies ; hear the mutterings of an impossible revolution; find an inquisition ina police cell ; tremble for fear of a despot: abuse the President as inefficient ; ridicule their own administration, and run screaming from their own shadows. Let us re- assure these fearful souls. There will be no revolution and no dictator. There is no worse conspiracy in existence than our silly Jacobin War Committee, and that has received its quie- tus. Everything is now proceeding quietly and satisfactorily, and General McClellan, heartily supported by the President aud the govern- ment, will soon bag the invading rebels. Let us also add a word of advice. These journals had better keep cool, wash the republican dirty linen in their own back yards, and 1é& the Cabi- net alone. They cannot break up the adminis- tration now. It is a unit in support of the President and in aid of McClellan. Let these skedaddling journals pluck up courage and take heart. Especially let poor old Greeley submit with a good grace to be saved by McClellan. Why, if any of the abolition gene- rals now commanded our armies Stonewall Jackson would be here in a week, and hang up the Tribune corps, like dried strawberry plants, with the rest of us. Is it not it better to be saved ly McClellan than to be ruined by Fremont and hung by old Stonewall? This reflection, at least, should make poor Greeley keep his temper. OxsLavenr oF THE TrinuNE on GENERAL Mo- Crurtnax—A Reason Tienevon—The Tribune of yesterday contained a furious onslaught upon General McClellan; and one of the reasons for such a reckless course is that the Tribune is for- bidden in the camps of that general. He does not like the treasonable sheet, and will not suf- fer the minds of any of his troops to be con- taminated with its disloyal and fanatical senti- ments. Hence the malignant Tribune attacks him even in presence of the encmy. . wes de Narouvon’s Campasax mw Sixony ayo Mc- Cuetian’s Campasaw in Vingista.—On another page we publish an original article, in which the campaign of McClellan in Virginia and that of Napoleon in Saxony, which resulted in his exile to Eiba, are compared. The war against Napoleon was to establish the divine right of kings, and to overthrow the popular rights and national independence of France. It was a war to dismember the French empire. and to de- throne a ruler who was the people's choice, The present war against the United States is to dismember the republic and supersede the lawful chief magistrate. The conspiracy then was against human freedom, which triumphed in the American Revolution, and afterwards in the French Revolution; and the hostility of Eu- ropean monarchs to those principles to-day is revealed in their sympathy with those who now in this country are seeking to overthrow the temple of liberty. The origin of the attack upon France and the United States is the same. The gold of England supplied the sinews of war to Russia and Prussia, as it has done to the abolitionists and secessionists of America. In both cases she was at the bottom of the war, and in both she haa labored to prevent peace, ut not only in the objects of the war, but in the manner in which the campaign was carried on, there is a remarkable resemblance. race between Napoleon and the Allies to see which should first get possession of the other’s capital. The interference with Napoleon’s plans by his generals was fatal to him ; the in- terference with McClellan has been so far dis- astrous ; but if the interference is put a stop to, even now the lost ground will be retrieved, and the military ability of General McCicllan will be fully vindicated.

TRE CIVIL BUSINESS AT THE CAPITAL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, Heapquarrers, DouBLRDAY'S BRIGADE, Kino’s Divison, Hoonen's Anwy Corrs, Near Luuenoxovan, Md., Sept. 9, 1862, In your paper of September 6, giving an account of the operations of King’s division, your reporter, referring to the battle near Groveton, fought Augus on the day preceding the second great battle of Pull run, states that “(Just provions to the close of the evgagement, however, Houbleday’s brigade came up to the support of Gibbons; Dut the fight was then ceasing, and their loss proved very slight.” Tove is incorrect. Your reporter has probably con- founied Doubleday’s brigade with Patrick’s. General Doubleday’s command was on the spot at the very com- mencement of the battle, and was immediately chgaged in the front line with the encmy. ‘the battle raged with indescribable fury; but the brigade held its ground with- out gi an tech against the immense forces brought against it, and was finally victorious. General Doubieday lost one-third of his force. This loss cannot be called slight, and justice to the brave men engared requires that facts should be made known. 1 au, . — = HALSTi, Capt., A.
