New York, Saturday, October 4, 1862, = Ba THE SITUATION. The President, accompanied by General McClel- len, had a grand review of the Army of the Upper Potomac yesterday. His reception and that of General McClellan was intensely enthusiastic. ‘The President commenced with General Burnside’s corps, and proceeded to those of Generals Porter, Reynolds and Franklin, and the division of General Richardson, taking in the whole ground from the mouth of Antietam creek to Bakersville. He will return to Washington this morning. The position of our army remains the same as at last accounts. No forward movements have been made. The rebels are said by some refugees to be transporting all the negroes into Richmond, and impressing the white population and sending them towards Winchester. Rumors of a general egagement going onin the vicinity of Louisville were current there yester- day, as heavy firing was heard near Mount Wash- ington, where Crittenden’s army had drawn up in line of battle, while General Rousseau commenced to surround the enemy. General Bragg has issued proclamation threatening to en- force the conscription act in all parts of Kentucky under rebel control. The rebels also threaten to burn the towns of Frankfort and Lex- ington if they are compelied to evacuate those places. The van of General Buell’s wagon train of one thousand eight hundred wagons bas just reached Lonisville. It extends twenty-two miles, the rear resting on Salt river. We have received Richmond papers of the 30th ult. and of the Ist inst., which put us in possession of interesting Southern news. The news from Lee’s army is to the effect that General McClellan's army had arrived to the south side of tlie Potomac, and was agvancing in force to mect Lee. The datter had taken a strong position aud was await- ing the attack. The mews of President Lin- coln'’s emancipation proclamation has fallen like s firebrand into rebeldom. In the tebel Senate, on the 29th ult., Mr. Semmes, of Louisiana, submitted a jomt resolution on the proclamation, and said, it was ‘‘a gross outrage on the rights of private property and an invitation to servile war, and therefore should be held up to the execration of mankind and counteracted by such severe retaliatory measures as, in the judgment of the President, may be best calculated to secure its withdrawal or arrest its execution.”” The subject tirred up the ire of the rebel Solons; they gave vent to their rage in severe bombast, threats of an- nihilation, black flags, &c., ad infinitum. The Richmond Dispatch thinks ‘that the procla- mation itself does not in the least alter the cha- racter of the war, as it has been an abolition contest from the beginning; the Yankees have stolen and set free all the negroes who were willing to go wherever their soldicrs bad possession of the country.” The Richmond Enquirer has a rabid, frothy editorial on the proclamation. It Gays that document, “‘ordaining servile insurrec- tion, has not been for a moment misunderstood North or South.” It styles President Lin- coln “@ savage, and the very ignorance which drives him to his own destraction stimulates him to the darkest excesses.” It then compares the scenes to be enacted under the proclamation with the Nat Turner massacre in 1831. The Enquirer says:—‘‘ lt is one of the means which the inmost callous highwayman should shadder to employ.’ Tho article closes:— The fiend’s new programme will, nocessarily, destroy all terms between us. The next campaign will be 4 tromendous one, both for the character and snagnitude of the hostility. Let our authorities prepare the whole strength of our people for a tremendous shock.” The steamship City of Washington, which ar- eived off Cape Race yesterday, brings us four da decor news from Europe.

According to astatement in the Wanderer, 8 Vieuna newspaper, Garibaldi is about to visit thie country, and unite his fortunes in the field with the army of the government, when he is released The liberator of Italy would prove a brilliant addition to our list of Union generals. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. By the arrival of the City of Washington off Cape Race yesterday morning, we have European ad- vices to the 25th ult., four days later than the ac counts previously received. Garibaldi, in a letter to the United States Consul at Vienna, promises to tight for the North on re- gaining his liberty and health. At London, on the 25th, consola closed at 93% a 935%. No material change had taken place in the Liverpool inarkets, The steamship British Queen, Captain Le Mes- surier, from Havana 27th, and Nassau, N. P., 2! ult., arrived at this port last evening. Her advices from Havana have been anticipated. The steam: ship Scotia arrived at Nassau on the night of the 28th ult, from Charleston, The health of Nassau was good, no fresh cases of sickness having occurred for some time. The steamship Marion, from New Orleans 25th ult., and Key West 29th ult., arrived at this port last evening. She brings a respectable list of pas- sengers, and over $250,000 in specie; also the mails from that city and the Gulf-blockading fleet. Our correspondent furnishes all the interesting news in his letter, which we publish elsewhere. The steamship Northern Light, from Aspinwall on the 25th ult., arrived at this port last night. She brought $754,840 in California gold on freight. By her arrival we are placed in possession of later news from Central America, New Granada and the South Pacific republics, the substance of which will be found in another column of our paper. On the passage of the last steamer from San Francisco to Panama, the schooner Active was at Manzanilla, near the spot where the Golden Gate was wrecked. She had been sent down from San Francisco ander the command of Captain Water- man, for the purpose of saving the $1,000,000 in gold which was lost in the above steamer, but when the mail steamer passed the divers had gone back to San Francisco for further assistance. The crew of the schooner were all sick, and Captain Waterman had gone into the interior for medicine. It was the opinion of the passengers that on the return of the divers the gold, or at least the greater portion of it, would be saved. The steam transport Ellen 8. Terry, Captain Chapin, from Newbern, N. C., arrived at this port last evening. She reports everything quiet at Newbern. The democratic fusion oonference committee met at Tammany Hall yesterday afternoon, at organized by placing Councilman Morgan Jones in the chair. No particular business was transact- ed, and the committee adjourned to meet at one o'clock to-day. The General Episcopal Convention resumed their proceedings yesterday—third day's mecting. After the usual religious services, the House or- ganized and a very interesting debate took place on the subject introduced by the Rev. Mr. Brunot, of Philadelphia, that the Convention record some spe- cial expression Of their feeling with regard to the rebellion, and the action of those of their Order en- gaged in it. ‘he resolution met with decided opposition, but was, on the other hand, most ably supported. The resolution was laid on the table by forty-seven yeas to seventeen nays on the part of the clergy, and by a vote of the laity of twenty- eight yeas to fourteen nays. The subject was fur- ther debated, and a resolution to reconsider the vote was negatived by twenty-two to sixteen. Atthe meeting of the Board of Aldermen yes- terday the Mayor sent in the name of Thomas B. Silliman for confirmation as Street Commissioner. On taking a vote the nomination was rejected by a vote of eleven to five. Alderman Dayton said that he had an ordinance, though not yet quite perfected, for presentation, authorizing the Comp- troiler to issue bills or drafts for sums less than one dollar, and he desired to state the provisions of the ordinance. Objections were made, and the Alderman was not permitted to proceed, as the ordinance was not before the Board. Two nominations for Health Wardens were confirmed. The ordinance appropriating an additional sum of $500,000 for the relief of families of soldiers was laid over and made a special order. The Board theu adjourned till two o'clock this afternoon. The rebel Legislature of Kentucky were to have met at Danville on the 30th ult., to pass a conscrip- tion act. Of whom this Legislative body is com- posed very few of the people of Kentucky can tell; but one fact they can be certain of, and that is, that not one of the members, whoever they may be, was ever elected by the people. Three children belonging to Thomas Carr, a mem- ber ofthe 169th regiment of this State, were burned to death by the house taking fire, at Petersburg, near Troy, on the lst inst. They were aged respec- tively four years, two years, and six months. The stock market still continues # scene of surprising activity and boyaney. All classes of securities were higher again yesterday; the chief advance being in Erie old which rose 4% per cent; I!linois Ceutsal, which rose 1%; Rock Island, which rose 1%, &c., & All ratl- way shares and bonds were in active request at the clove at the highest quoted prices of the day. Gold was unchanged; exchange 135 a 3g. Money was abundant at 4 per cent. ‘The cotton market yesterday, was firm, though less active. The sales embraced 350 a 400 bales, on the basis of 56c., with small irregular lots quoted at 56%4c., and ome aiso at rather under the first figure. Flour was in good demand, especially from the bome trade, and the males were active, closing at an advance of 6c. to 10c. per bbl. for most descriptions. Wheat was irregular, and lo. te 1}¢. per bushel lower. The market was tolerably active at the concession. Corn opened dull, ‘but became active, and closed rather firmer for sound lots, which brought 50c. a 60c. Pork, beef and lard were firm and active, with considerable transactions reported for December, January and February delivery. Mess pork sold at $11 6254 a $11 75, chiefly at the latter figure, and prime at $10 26 a $1030. Sugars were steady and prices unchanged, with sales of 820 bhds. Coffee was firm but quiet, with sales of 200 bags Rio. Freights were firmer: with a fair amount of engagements, The public tea sale yestorday (the first of the season) drew agood and spirited company, and nearly all was sold at full prices. Tae Presipent anp Secretary Onase.—-Our telegraphic intelligence yesterday informed us that Secretary Chase accompanied the Presi- dent on his visit to the Army of the Potomac. We do not like this. It has mischief at the bottom of it. Secretary Chase is Mr. Lincoln’s greatest enemy, and he is leagued with a faction whose purpose is to de- stroy both him and the republic together, by the prosecution of their cherished dog- ma—“abolition of slavery or separation.” The mismanagement of the fluances of the government, 80 as to derange the currency, is not the greatest danger with which the Presi- dent and the country have to contend in conse- quence of Mr. Chase's position in the Cabinet. There are otheg” breakers ahead of a more fearful nature. GEspigt LEAN AND THE Pnocuasta. tion. be Trilvune cals upon General McCiel- lan to issme a proclamation like that of the Presiadk MeOlellan is a soldier—a man of action « not of proclamations—a man of deeds, 24 not.of words. Proclavations are mere threaié, ».!d amount to nothing. | The Coming State Elections—The Issue in New York, The coming S1.‘c elcetions, aad particularly the election state of New York, ave preg- pant with such trexieadous consequences that if the people con!d oaly understand them in all their length and breadth there would be such @ revolution at the poHs as would go far to arrest the rapid progress of the republic to dis- solution and anarchy. Upon the State of New York, more than upon any other in the federal Union, deponds the fate of the country for weal or for woo. Yet we fear that, owing to tho amount of money that will be brought to bear, the operations of the army contractors and other corrupt influences, together with the fact that the people are not yet fully alive to the nature of the crisis through which they are passing, the candidate of the destructives will be elected, and the conservatives will awaken 0 late to a sense of the real condition of th country. The success of General Wadsworth in this State would be the success of the Puritan Roundheads, who presumé to dictate morality, religion aad legislation to the wliole continent, and it would be the prolongation of the war till the army and navy contractors bled the North to death and destroyed the South by the same process. If Wadsworth succeeds let us expect a reign of terror, such as he inaugurated at Washing- ton, when he arrested even the officers of justice, in violation of the constitution and the laws of the land, to the disturbance of the white popu- lation and the confusion of the poor negroes, who could not understand what was meant for them by the Military Governor of the District of Columbia. If Wadsworth succeeds every man who differs with him in politics will be arrested, and a despotism will be established in this State such as has not existed in modern times in any nation pretending to free institu- tions. The truth is that Wadsworth is an aris- tocrat of the first water, and claims his position not from any merit of his own, but from the wealth of his ancestors, derived from the op- pression of human beings fap superior to ne- groes.” If Wadsworth is elected let the people of this State look out for a tyranny such as has not been experienced in any other country in modern times. If, unfortunately, he should be chosen Governor of this State, he would have all his political opponents arrested and con- signed to dungeons, and their property seized and confiscated under the act of Congress. The issue made by his organs is that every man/ who votes against his election isa traitor, an i consequently is liable to be stripped of a worldly goods that he possesses, together his liberty, if not his life. 2 If, therefore, the candidate of the revolution- ary radicals should be successful, we are ap- proaching a period like that of the Roman pro- scriptions, in which Marius and Sylla, Cwsar and Pompey, in turn ostracised the whole people and confiscated their property. The success of the radicals is therefore the ruin of the coun- try. It is bloodshed and civil war without end. On the other hand, the success of the conser- vatives in this State would shorten the war, by restoring the Union through the operation of the Magna Charta of American liberty—the consti. tution of the United States—the only shield in this hour of the nation’s peri! against the double danger of anarchy and despotism. The Presi- dent desires to save the country by clinging to the constitution as the anchor of hope during the next three months, after which the revolu- tionists expect a saturnalia of blood and crime which will make our posterity blush till the last syllable of recorded time. It is the part of the conservatives to strengthen his resolution, to stand by him to the last, and to rescue him from the hands of the radicals in his Cabinet and the hands of the base wretches outside, who, in this hour of the nation’s weakness, are hovering over the spoils and plunder like greedy buzzards and vultures, utterly regard- less of tue fate of the republic, which so re- cently was “the envy of surrounding nations and the admiration of the world.” Tax Lonpoy Times 1 Foc.—The bewildered London Times is in a dense fog, through which it can obtain no clear perception of American affairs. Even the light it derives from Ameri- can newspapers cannot assist it out of its be- wilderment. It is evident that Bull Run Rus” sell, or some other writer in the editorial corps, has been recently reading the New York journals. He derives from the Heratp his notions of the effect of the long-threatened proclamation which the radicals have now ex- torted from the President. We stated lon g since, in advance, what the effect of such a pronunciamiento would be. But the Times, with hypocritical cant, affects to deplore what, above all other things, it most desires, It says:—“We may trust, then, that President Lin- coln will refrain from an act which will be at once a crime and a blunder—an act which will inno way advance the federal cause, while it will deepen and make eternal the hatred between the two republics.” Is not this just what the Times wants? At one time that journal expresses its bitter hostility to the Union and its opposition to its reconstruction; at another it sheds crocodile tears over its inevitable destruction as ® great public ca- lamity. But we would have the Times to un- derstand that the proclamation will have no more effect in preventing the reunion of the warring sections than a joke in the last number of Punch. The President took good care before- hand that his proclamation would do no harm if it could not do any good. He said it was like the Pope's bull against the comet, Abra- ham Lincoln’s own exposition of his proclama- tion is the best answer to the strictures of the Times. A Narton Reosyeratino Itserr.—For the last quarter of a century Spain has presented to the world the noble spectacle of a nation try. ing to redeem its past errors and to strike into the path of progress. Before the accession of the present Queen to the throne it exhibited only the evidences of general decay and of hope- less anarchy. Now it is not only making rapid strides in constitutional government, but in agricultural and industrial improvements. It is covering its territory with railroads, it is encouraging manufactures, it is extending its mercantile marine, and it seems determined to make its commercial influence everywhere felt. In our columns to-day we publish the anuounce- ment of a step which cannot fail to work great good in this latter direction. We allude to the astimgates advertised for fy the Spanish Consul for the eréction OF @ building for an industrial exhibition in Madrid similar to that just held in London. Truly we live in eventful times, and this is -not one of the least remarkable of the revolutions through which nations are pass” ing. Poor Greeley and the Tribume “Miser ables?” Perhaps no apectacie is mow? saddening than that of a man who has adopted ® profession or business for which Providence has eursy | unfitted him. He finds himself continually arrears, in spite of his moat earnest and labori- ous efforts. His occupation, instead of yielding him an assured income, becomes « clog and burden to him, weighing him down and wear- ing him out remorselessly. In vain he resorts to every shift, device and expedient to make both ends meet. In vain he dabbles in other pursuits and outside speculations, and some- times, driven to desperation, even cheats, gam. bles and swindles, in order to bolster up his un- lucky business, to which he clings with insane tenacity, but which becomes worse and worse, and threatens to ruin him at any moment. He is like a patient who suffers from a tapeworm, and is compelled to eat and drink immoderately, at an enormous expense, only to make the worm larger and livelier, and his own death more speedy and certain. The orfly difference between the two cases is that the patient strives to get rid of his tapeworm; but the deluded man, having entered the wrong profession, can- not be induced to relinquish it until it has ac- complished his destruction. Such a sad and miserable example of human folly is presented by poor Greeley of the ribune. , He insists upon being an editor, when cally, as we have often asgured him, he has not e slightest qualification for the profession. en the people reject a paper so unanimously t it doos not pay expenses, even with its size uced and its staff cut down, it is very tain that the editor of that paper has mis- taken his vocation. Tried by this test, Greeley isglearly not an editor; for the Tribune has laentably failed, and its stock has had to be bohght in by the Tribune Association to prevent it Gelling at a large discount on the street. It logt all the brains it ever had—and that was no much—when Dana retired, having for some tite laboriously sustained a concern always digposed to go down like lead.,BSince that time the Tribune hgs only been enabled to retain the small number of subscribers at present on F books by copying the news from the AMeravp, as Mr. Gay, the chief editor under Greeley, candidly acknowledged in a letter already published in these columns. Mr. Dana, during his reign, used also to copy from the Heratp; but he was too shrewd to own it, either openly or privately. Even during his time, therefore, the people preferred to read the news in our paper, from one day to a week in advance of the Tribune, and consequently the Tribune did not pay. Grecley himself ad- mitted, editorially, that his journal had made no money the last year of Dana’s manage- ment, and the truth—which Greeley never tells—is that it had lost about twenty-five hun- dred dollars. This year it will assuredly lose stiil more, and the taxes will settle it com- pletely. Persisting in being a journalist, in spite of the warning conveyed through such losses, Greeley long ago began to try to support himself and the Zribune by discreditable and unprofessional enterprises. He entered the lobby and dirtied his fingers with the Matteson $1,000 draft. He took charge of the Irish Re- lief Fund, which has never been accounted for since it was foolishly entrusted to his guardian- ship. He begged for office, that he might fill his pockets from the publfc treasury. He exhibited bleeding Kansas as a showman does a puppet, to draw pennies. All these means failing, and the Tribune failing also, he concluded to go farther, and, we are sorry to say, he fared worse. With our customary liberality, we had given poor Greeley our advice through these trying times, and had repeatedly offered him our old clothes to replace his shabby apparel, and our cold victuals to eke out his vegetarian diet of vinegar and water. Now we were called upon and consented to advertise at half price his grand scheme of a lottery for gold pens and the Tribune, silver pencil cases and the Tribune and slate pencils and the 7ribune. This lottery proved a blank, and poor Greeley next engaged in the gun contract business, through Snow and Almy, of the 7ribune Association; but the con- tract, like the guns, would not go off well, and was, we believe, rather a loss to the concern and the government. Then our services were again demanded to advertise gratuitously a new lottery for strawberry plants and the Tribune; but the strawberry season was over, and after a month’s trial Grecley complained that he had not sold a single ticket; for he wrote in the Tribune, “If any one sends us an order for the strawberries he shall be number one on the list, and so on;” thus clearly show- ing that no one had yet subscribed. Now, as almost his last chance, and not yet convinced that nature never intended him for an editor, poor Greeley is trying to support the Tribune by starting an opposition to Harper & Broth. ers. He is about to publish Victor Hugo’s novel, “Les Miserables,” and will organizea new lottery with “Les Miserables” and the Tribune, instead of gold pens or strawberries and the Trilune. The novel is a good one, and we hope Greeley will succeed. “Les Miserables,” or the wretched people, isa title remarkably appro- Priate to the members of the Tribune Associa- tion. Besides this, one of the leading charac- ters in the novel is a Parisian gamin named Gavroche, who is evidently a fac simile of Greeley himself. The ambition of Gav- roche, according to Victor Hugo, was to upset the government and get his breeches mended. Can anything describe poor Greeley better ? Can any one who knows bis personal vanity | wonder that he undertakes the publication of a novel in which he is so accurately portrayed ? Again we hope that he will succeed in this new lottery; but we have our fears that the only re- sult of his effort will be to diminish the circula- tion of “Les Miserables ;” for what reader would purchase a novel with the Tribune as an appendix? Still, we advise Greeley to try, and if he again fails, and is not yet ready to throw up that paper tapeworm, the Tribune, let him open a drinking saloon in the basement of his office, and advertise “a glass of rotgut and the 7ridune only two cents,” or “an imported segar (from Jersey) and the Tribune half a dime,” and he may be able to secure the patronage he desires, and make a living for himself and the other miserable fellows of his association, Tue Trieune anv Tie Evrorkan Press Urox Evanctration.—-The Tribune of Tuesday last con- tained an editorial grossly misreprezenting the opinion of the European press upon the advisa- bility of an emancipation proclamation. The Tribune asserted that such a proclamation would strengthen the Union cause among the, journals of Europe; and yot, in the very sanye | issue of the Trine, were telegraphic extracts | from the chief European papers condemning | before whieh an instrument not stamped the proclamation in advance. The yext day oo i i ESE? itt the procla- itself with “predicting that the Star and News, of London; the and Opinion Nationale, of Paris,” will certainly favor it, What the opin- fon of the News, the Star and the Debats may be we do not yet know; but, unfortunately for the Tribune, the Opinion Nationale, of Paris, has i + don Times, dated September 16, 1862:— ‘The Opinion Nationale, another thick-and-thin partisan Of the federais, admits the triumph of their adversaries, and considers Washington very seriously thi : Dut it saye:—IC the North be driven to extremities it will decide, according to all appearances, to proclaim the general emancipation of the slaves, and the world will then behold the spectacle of the most (rightful kind of insurrection of which history has preserved @he mo- mory.. Will the Tribune be good enough to acknow- ledge the truth for once, and retract at least one of its many false accusations of falsehood? Will it explain, also, how it came to “predict” about the Opinion Nationale yesterday, when the above extract, superseding all necessity of “predictions,” was published in the Huraup of September 29? Having explained this, wilt it also be kind enough to inform us if it has yet read and digested our extract from the Tribune of August 2, in regard to those nine hundred thousand abolition reserves? It may then rest n peace for a while. Ovr Rapicat Avorrtion ORGANS AND OvR Generats.—Our radical abolition faction are working like beavers to create dissensions, di- visions and demoralization in the army. Their game is to prolong the war beyond the Ist of January, so that they may push the Presi- dent, then, to the proclamation of an abolition crusade, negro emancipation being with them the paramount, and the restoration of the Union a secondary, question. The readiest way to em- barrass the movements of our armies, mean- time, isto create doubts and distrust in the public mind, and jealousies in the army, and intrigues in the Cabinet, against our principal generals. In. behalf of these objects the New York Tribune, which was judiciously quiet on the subject for some days after the battle of Antietam, returns again to its dirty work of belittling the services and military character of General McClellan. Thus we are told that itis “the fate of Gen. McClellan to be praised and petted by this pro- slavery cabal;” that “every sycopbant of the traitorous slave power in the loyal States, every sympathizer with the rebels, sees fit to swear by General McClellan;” that “the rebels themselves keep up the same outcry in favor of McClellan,” and that, “if he would only con-, trive to make the secessionists praise him less and their Northern friends to hate bim a little, he would signally exalt himself in the estima- tion of the great mass of our loyal citizens.” The Tribune, accordingly, calls upon General McClellan to issue an order to his army en- forcing “the President's proclamation of free- dom.” So it has come to this. It was only a few days ago that our abolition organs were clamorous for this “ proclamation of freedom” from the President as the one thing needful, as the cer- tain cure and end of all our troubles. Now that we have it, however, our generals, beginning with McClellan, are required to reproclaim it “at the head of each regiment on the occasion of its next dress parade.” The Presi- dent has not considered any such order ne- cessary; but Greeley demands it, and we may next expect his signal to be followed by a general abolition bowl in echo to his demand. But should General McClellan meet this re- quisition he will still be pursued by this re- lentless abolition faction. They intend to supplant him if they can, to make room for some pliant tool of their own choosing, in regard to negroes, and also in regard to jobs and contracts. In the same issue of the Tribune we find these aforesaid editorial flings and slurs at General McCleltan, and a long letter from Louisville devoted to the most violent denunciations of Geucral Buell. But thisis not surprising, in view of the fact that General Buell, like General McClellan, has persistently refused to make the negro question superior to the question of the Union in the pro- secution of this war. General Halleck is subject to the same charge ; and we apprehend that nothing short of some such arrangement as Fremont, Phelps and Hunter in the places of Halleck, McClellan and Buell will satisfy Massa Greeley and his radical confederates. We think, however, that, as the coyntry is satisfied with the disposition made of Fremont, Phelps and Hunter by the President, they will not soon be promoted to commands beyond their capacities; nor do we apprehend the suspension of the war until the season for campaigning is over for the present year, on account of any abolition devices which may be trumped up to the prejudice of McClellan or Buell. Let the President adhere to his tried and approved generals, and push on the war. The New Pos e Currency—DifMiculties im the Distribution. ‘The scarcity of the new postage currency continues to be the theme of goneral regret and indignation. It is singular, too, that now, when the want of small change is Rot felt so severely as somo time ago, the people appear to be the more clamorous for the new currency.

Nothing bas cecurred since the beginning of the war which goes #0 far to recognise the right of meeting of Northorn go- vernors, without any warrant of national or State laws, and without cause founded in anything like exigent public neceasity. The governors could aid the government by an unhesitating compliance with military requiremenits, ag oxtended at tho beginning of the rebellion; butnow thoy talk of “submitting to lawe which may have been or may be duly enacted, and te the lawful orders of the President.” In accordance with this State view, they are now holding troops back upon sundry pretences as to their disposal avd control when passed ovor to the general governmont, but really for the Purpose of prolonging the war until after the Ist of Janus” ry, 80 as ta insure the liberation by proclamation of all slaves. ,Genoral John Cochrane states, says the Tribune cor- respondence hence, that if the Northern Governors will send on troops to infuse new blood into the worn regi- ments of tho peninsula, Genera! MoClellan could sweep om to Richmond in six weeks. Now, if Richmond is takem before January, a winter campaign can be carried on im the South, which cannot bo if the war is confined to the bordor until January, and operations in the South during winter will be left to the gunboats and insurgent slaves, as recommended by the Tribune. ‘The result of the scheme of the Governors and the abo- litionists will be to prolong the war a year or two more than it need be, at an expense to the people of at least snother thousand million of dollars. Thero is no likelf- hood that the President wilt take the “responsibility of authorising the raising of one hundred thousand volun- teers in the North more than the laws call fore wn order that the Governors may have a standing army at their oontrol, whose support at home, and not at the theatre of war, will add a hundred millions of doliars to the public expenses. But it seoms these Governors are anticipating authority by the President, and are keeping back great numbers of volunteers im camp at home when thoy are needed here. 80 heroafter there is to be a standing army at the North, to be supported by the people, who in turn perhaps are to be con- trolled by bayonets. Ifthe volunteers will carry out the desires of these Governors, who, among other things, may dictate a suspension of elections, or perchance act upom Old Thad. Stovens’ idea, of treating elections as if they never had taken place. THE ORDER OF GENERAL SIOKLRS. The following is the order of Genoral Sickles on taking command of bis division:— GENKRAT.
