The rumors of an advance of our army into Vir- ginia which created some excitement yesterday receive Confirmation by later despatches from va- vious points. General McClellan moved his head- quartera yesterday to the Virginia side of the Po- tomac. At daylight Gencral Pleasanton's cavalry crossed the river at Berlin and pushed on to Lovettaville, in the direction of Leesburg, which point he was supposed to have occupied immedi- ately. General Burnside followed with his corps, and took up a position near Lovettsville. No bat- tle appears to have occurred. Up to last evening everything was quiet. General Pleasanton was said to be within a few hours’ march of the rebe! Longstreet's forces. The recent rains, which ceased at ten o'clock yesterday, have not materially interfered with the fords at either Shepherdstown or Williamsport. At Harper's Ferry the water rose two inches, and the Shenandoah was increased four inches at the same point. The rebel cavairy, ia considerable numbers, con- tinue to show themselves between Martinsburg and Cherry Run, and a regiment was seen and fired st opposite Sharpsburg on Monday; but the main body of the encimy seem to have fallen back beyond Winchester. It is thought that Gen. Lee is making a8 fast as possible for Gordonsville. , Despatches from Cairo, Ill., tell of a desperate Aght which took place at Waverley, in Tennessee, on Thursday last. It appears that a rebel force 900 strong attacked a party of 200 Union troops at that place, which is located about twenty miles southwest of Fort Donelson. After a severe fight our men, though greatly inferior in numbers, com- pletely routed the enemy, Killing twenty-four and capturing twenty-five of them. Rumors were rife ia Cairo yesterday of a fight going on at Bolivar, and other statements would seem to confirm it, for it was reported at Corinth that the rebel General Price was within four miles of that place the day before yesterday, with a very large force. General Rosecrans arrived at Cairo on route to join his new command. Great activity was observed among the rebels in the naighborhood of Helena, Vicksburg end Holly Springs. It was said that seventy thousand men were at the latter place, under Generals Lovell and Yan Dora. A report was prevalent in Memphis on Sunday that a force of a thousand rebel cavalry Rave stationed themselves nine miles from there, on the Memphis and Charleston road, and have taken posscssion of the line, with their head- quartera in the vicinity.of Nonconst, and is sup- posed to be the advance of @ large rebel force, who have designs upon the city. Morgan's rebel guoriliss in Kentucky have met with some sad reverses of late. Colonel Edward McCook, with five hundred cavalry, left Crab Orchard on Thursday morning, and encountered several bands of them, and Scott's rebel cavalry at Point Lick and Big Hill, killing four or five and capturing their telegraph operator, with his ap- paratus; also thirty-three wagons, partly loaded. The remainder of the rebels went towards Mount Vernon. The city of Galveston, Texas, has been evacuat- ed by the rebels, and was occupied by our troops yo the Gth instant. Our newa from the Southern papers to-day (s very important. The Richmond Dispatch has 0 official report from General Beauregard an- councing an attack by the Union troops on the Charleston and Savannah Railroad at Coosa- watohie amd Pocotaligo, on Thursday, and were ‘gallantly repulsed’ by the rebel forces. The enemy, he says, bad come in thirteen trans- ports and gunboats. The Charleston Railroad is aninjured. The ‘“abolitioniete’” left their dead and wounded on the field. General Bragg has furnished an official report of the battle at Perryville, Ky., in which he claims great victory, which, he says, only for the ap- proach of night would have been completed by driving our troops from their position. The Dis- patch of the 24th says that Bragg’s army has re- tired to a safe position, which it would be imprudent 4o state, General Bragg, it eays, has secured four thousand seven hundred wagons loaded with pro- visions, which have been brought away in safety with his army. He lost two thousand five hundred barrels of pork, which was left at Lexington, and (ell into @he hands of the Yankees. Great dissatis- faction was felt among the officers of Bragg’s army at the falling back, and many of them literally wept when the order was given. The conclusions to be drawn from all the news ‘1 our possession, continues the Dispatch, are, that Bragg hae either met such an overwhelming force of tho enemy, and successfully retreated bes fore it, ith large stores of provisions, or that he don been too timid and made forced marches, : | upon the farmers who are tanning hides to supply | NEW YORK HERALD, TUKSDAY, OUTOBKE 28, 1862. ‘ which he had not daring enough toaccompliah.

Our Vera Cruz correspondent, writing on the 18th September, states that the latest advices from the city of Mexico show that great preparations are being made there to resist the French in- vuders. All the fortifications ereoted by Miramon have been pulled down, and more substantial ones were being substituted. Great scarcity existed im the capital. Several Vera Crus houses were ship- Ping goods to Tuxpan, to be forwarded thence to the city of Mexico, expecting to realize tremen- dous profits, Great complaints are made of the arbitzary and tyrannica} conduct of the French soldiers in the interior.

The iron- plated frigate Normandie was being repainted at Saorificios. Sho is represented by the officers as hot and disagreeable; in fact, almost intolerable ona hot day, as she lays exposed to the full force of the sun at Sacrificios. The Prensa dela Havana of the 17th of Octo- ber states that the Spanish war steamer Blasco de Garay, on her last voyage from New Orleans, brought one million of dollars in specie, which was entrusted to the care of the captain, and which, on his arrival, he deposited in several banks in Ha- vana, refusing te receive the per centage usually paid by the banks for specie, although the pre- mium in this case would have amounted to a con- siderable sum. ,This mouey belongs to some pas- sengers from New Orlcans, who proposed to give & grand banquet to the captain of the frigate. A regular mecting of the Board of Councilmen was held last evening. After transacting a small amount of rontine business the ordinance adopted in the Board of Aldermen providing for the defence of the city and harbor of New York was brought up an laid over, The ordinance providing for the issue of half a million of dollars in small notes of the fractional parts of a dollar by the Common Council of the city of New York was, after some discussion, laid over and made the special order for next Thursday night. The Board then ad- journed. In the Court of General Sessions yesterday, a young man named Jacob Wheeler was indicted for the murder of his wife, by shooting her with a pistol on the 26th of August last. The defence set up is that the deceased shot herself in a moment of frenay. Assistant District Attorney O. L. Stewart conducts the prosecution and Mr. William F. Howe the defence. The case will be resumed this morning at eleven o'clock. The St. Louis Kepublicon of the 25th instant says that Medane-Anva Bishop, the vocalist, who sang in that city not long since, was burned in St. Paul on Wednesday, the 15th instant, by her clothes taking fire, from the effects of which she died on the Friday following. At St. Louis yesterday the steamers H. D. Bacon, McGill, ,A. McDowell, Estelle and W. H. Russell, together with their cargoes, were totally destroyed by Gre, involving ® loss of property estimated at $150,000. ‘The steck market was generally better yesterday, the chief advance being in Hudson River and some of the Weatern shares. Hudson rose three per cent. The Kric® were a fraction lower. Notwithstanding the inclemency ef the weather, the market remained steady throughout the day. The dealings in gold were limited. The price ‘at the close was about 131%, buyers. Money was worth five per cent. Fxchaage on Lendon 145. The bank state. ment shows an increase of §2,367,261 in leans, $160,514 in depcsite, and a decrease of $1,306,725 in specie. The inclemency of the weather yesterday tended to eheck traneactions in most articles of produce. Prices opened dull and irregular, but closed with more show of firmness later is the day, owing to the firmnéss in gold and the higher rates demanded for sterling exchange, Cotton was comperatively quiet, and sales confined to about 300 a 400 bales on the basis of aboat 60c. for mid- ating uplands. Flour opened heavy and lower, while sellers were indisposed, especially tater in the day, to submit to the full concession demanded, and hence sales were restricted. Wheat also opened heavy and easier; but, owing to the causes stated, later in the day a better demand grew up, and the market closed with more stiff- ness. Corn closed active and firm, with sales of sound ‘Wortern mixed at 68c. @ 700., and yellow do.'at 72c. # 73c, Pork was in good demand, but prices were rather irregular. Sales of mess were made at $13 12 a$13 50 the latter figure for newly inspected, and prime at $12 26. Sugars were quiet, but firm. Sales were confiu, ed to nome 160 Lhds. Coffee was firmly beld, and mestly above the views of buyers, which, togother with the bad weather, tended to check salos. Freights were rather easier in American vessels for grain, &c., while in neu- tral vecsels they were without change of moment, though they were less active and buoyant. Tue Txatronovs Rapican Press.—One of th® radical journals of this city is laboring to break down the government and the army by pro- claiming that the recognition of the Southern confederacy is a foregone conclusion in Europe, and that if it should be recognized we should immediately make peace; while, on the other hand, the army is declared to be utterly demoralized—the veterans of the “seven days battles” being represented as good for nothing, and the whole depondence being placed on the new levies. We rather think it is the journal which gives utterance to what is cal- culated to afford such “aid and comfort to the every” that is really demoralized. General McClellan himself was firstassailed by these dis- union sheets, and now they assail the army itself as worthless, and charge the government— that is, Mr. Lincoln and General McClellan— with having destroyed it. Is it not clear that these revolutionary radical journals are playing into the bands of Jeff. Davis & Co., and are pre- paring the way for peace and a final separation of the North from the South? So far from Ku- rope having any intention of interfering in our concerns, there is every reason to believe that the contrary is the case; and aa for the Army of the Potomac being demoralized, it never was in such fighting order, and never more ardently desired to be led against the foe—sa wish in which it will be gratified at the proper time. Pn interentedinleninAl Tae Privateer ALavama—It has been pretty generally understood that the English mer- chants who built and fitted out the privateer 290 had done so on their own account, and had not sold or parted with their interest in the vessel to the Confederate States. They simply made use of Captain Semmes and his letters of marque, expecting to realize large profits out of the venture. The statement which we pub- lished yesterday, from good authority, that, in consequence of an understanding between the owners of the Alabama and her captain, Ameri- can packets having passengers on board are not to be meddled with, affords, we think, con- clusive evidence that the above assumptions are Correct. 7 and fought and wearied bis troops for an object | Fhe Two Great Revolutions Approsch- ing. and. dare not ask this endorsement openly, bon- evtly and frankly, On the contrary, it socks to digguise and conceal this issue beneath the flimsy veils of other questions, such as those in regurd to the prosecution of the war and th® support of the President, The sophistry of this begging the real issue is apparent. All parties agree in desiring a vigorous prosecution of the war; and how, therefore, can this be a question at the polls? All parties unite in supporting the President; and how, therefore, oan this sup- port be affected by the result of the elections! Be not deceived by such weak attempts to cover up the real designs of the abolition leaders. If they can by any means trick the people into’ giving them a majority at the approaching elec- tions the radical abolitionists will triumphantly interpret this victory into a cordial endorse ment of their dangerous policy. The honest voters may not and will not intend that their votes ehall be thus misrepresented; but this fact will not at all affect those arrogant radicals who, only a ghortitime ago, impudently. pre- tended to be the representatives of twenty mil- lions $f. people. The freemen of Pennsylvania, Ohio od Indiana understood ‘the real isstie; “fn ‘spite of the contemptible endeavors to obscure it, and voted accordingly. : Let not the freemen: who vote in November’ be deccived and-de- luded. The question for every voter to consider is, whether or not he thoroughly approves of the radical abolition policy. Candidates, be they good, bad er indifferent, are of ne importance whatever in these elections. Great principles are at stake. The future policy of the nation is to be decided. The constitution is to be main- tained as the supreme law of the land or throwa aside as a useless bit of paper. The Union is to be restored in six months or forever lost in the tremendous convulsions of 4 twenty years’ war. Jeff. Davis’ despotism is to be condemned or justified in the minds of his oppressed sub- jects. The outraged and tyraunized people of the South are to be encouraged to return to the Union, or the door of reconciliation and reunion is to be shut and barred in their faces, never again to be opened until the negroes remain the only inhabitants of the seceded States. Our soldiers are to be loyally supported in their bat- tles for the Union, or betrayed at the polls and forced to become assistants at slave insurrec- tions and accomplices in the horrors of murders and massacres, rapes and rapine, committed by brutal and infuriated negroes upon the women and children of the South. In fine, the,antago- nistic policies of the conservatives and the radi- cals, of those who desire the Union with or without slavery, and those who desire the aboli- tion of slavery with or withont the Unioa, are now arra; against each other in these elec- tions, and the voters of the North are called upon to indicate #! the ballot box which of the two they desire te be adopted and sustained. If every mai could and would understand this fact the elections would be almost unanimously conservative. As it is, however, we hope that enough will understand it to make the con- servative majorities in November almost unpre- cedented. The radical abolition policy is unconstitu- tional, and the radical abolition leaders have repeatedly acknowledged its unconstitutionali- ty. Therefore, before .this war began, they de- liberately and avowedly aimed to destroy the constitution in order to destroy slavery. Therefore, also, when the first slave State seceded, the radical abolitionists, from the plat- form and in the Zribune, sympathized with the secession leaders and gloried in the ida thate the constitution was rent in twain and the Union dissolved. Now, however, they have changed their tactics, and desire, first, to use the constitution to call out the military power of the North, and then to throw aside the constitu- tion in order to use that military power to abolish slavery. But this making use of the constitution in order to abuse it is a most trans- t trick. .If the constitution be still in force, then we must abide by its provisions and reject the abolition policy. If,on the other band, the abolition dogma that this rebellion has superseded the constitution be correct, then we are without a government, without « national existence, without any but State and local laws, and in a condition of deplorable anarchy; and the President has no right to call for troops, to command our armies, or to exercise any of the prerogatives granted by, dependent upen and abrogated with the constitation. Thus, whether or not the constitution still remains our su- preme law, the doctrines of the abolitionists are abeurd. But they are more than absurd— they are destructive both to the North aad the South. They will involve us in a war of at least twenty years’ duration, conducted at an enormous expense and with a terrible loss of life, and ending, not in reunion, but in the inau- guration of series of insane experiments, on a gigantic scale, in regard to amalgamation and ® mulatto republic. At the South they wiil justify every statement made by Joff. Davis, and rivet more strongly the chaius by which he binds the masves of the people to his throne and drags them to destruction. Just so long as we maintain the Union and the constitution we havea good cause and a fair prospect of success. The moment we superse te the constitu- tion and trausform the Union inte an abolition society our cause is lost, and we have no right to compel the South to return to a government. which has really become what they imagined it to be when they rebelled. Push forward our armies to destroy the mili- tary power by which Jeff. Davis enthralls the Southern people.. Follow up our bayonets by our ballots, and show these people that we come to deliver and not to destroy them: While we show them the power of the Union by our conservative armies, let us show them also, by our conservative votes, that the Union is, as it over was, the only guamntee of their constitutional rights. Then bullets and ballots, working to- gether, will inaugurate a revolution at the South clove upon the heels of the political revolution at the North. Then, fa six months from November, we shall see the Southern peo- ple punish the perfidy of their infernal sedu- cers by hanging them in every seceded State and voluntarily returning to the Union. The fearful sufferings of the rebel masses have only been borne because they feared the greater sufferings of abolition rule, Convince them that these fears are groundless, and they will endure no longer. A cdnservative triumph will kill Jeff. Davis and end the rebellion. An aboli- tion triumph will kill the nation to end negro slavery.

We dare gay, however, that his movements an@ designs are understood at Har- per's Ferry and at Washington, and that, al- though he may be permitted to croas over from the Shenandoah valley to the-eastern side of the Blue Ridge without a battle, he will be inter- cepted and compelled te fight somewhere on the way to Kichmond. We anticipate, upon the approach of our forces, the retreat of Lee out of the Shenandoah valley by the nearest roads for Richmond, with the idea of drawing- General MoClellan after him into an exhausted country ¢o far that be may be out off from his supplies, and be out up in detail. But we do not imagine that General McClellan will be led astray upon any such wild goose chase as this, but that with the rebel forces, bag and baggage. removed: from the rear of Washington, he will adopt one.of several. other plans for outting them off ftom thé rebel capital. f .

He will be compeMed to move south- ward to. get into a moregenial climate, and with bis removal all our forces, from -Williams- port to Washington, may be put in motion against him. In the West it is probable that the late rains will oot only very much facilitate our army transportation on the Ohio and up the Great Kanawha to the silt works of Charles- ton, but also on the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers. With anything of s rise in these two streams, the army of Bragg will soon be cleared out of Tennessee, and all the remaining frag- ments of the rebel forces of Price, Lovell and Van Dorn from Northern Mississippi and Ala- bama. But the paramount object, desire and expectation of our loyal people is a decisive campaign in Virginia, before the rains, snows frosts, thaws and mud of the winter in that region have rendered of military operations there impracticable till the return of spring: We are gratified to bear that our Army of the Potomac is beginning to show some signs of an advance, and it is to be hoped that the govern- ment at Washington and all concerned will re- gard an immediate forward movement of that army as superior to all other questions and movements of the day. Tae Trisonr’s ARtramMeTiIO or THH ELEc- 110Ns.—Horace Greeley's education in arithme- tic and mathematics must have been sadly ne= glected, when he attempts to palm off upon the public such fallacious. figures as he exhibited yesterday to accoynt for the republican defeat in Pennsylvania by the alleged fact that the re- publicans have gone to the war, while the de- mocrats have remained at home,. The argu- ment is based on the fact that the democratic vote has only fallen off very little, while the re- publican vote has fallen off to a great extent. Now it does not follow that those who have fallen off have gone to the war. It is true that some of them have goue; but it is more proba- ble that the majority have joined the democratic ranks, and have supplied the place of the far more numerous voters who have enlisted in the army of the Union from the conservative maeses. It is evident that, as a general rule, the fighting element is the democracy. The re- publicans, radicals and abolitionists rarely fight. They do not believe in fighting them- selves, but are very anxious to get other men to fight for them. Greeley not long since ad- mitted that his “900,000” abolitionists “never smelled battle,” and they have not yet come up to the scratche Consequently their presence in the field could not have sffected the elections. Nor have we Reard anything of Gov. Andrew's myriads who were to swarm the roads from Massachusetts if only “tbe chorus of liberty” were once raised. The chorus of liberty meant by Greeley and Andrew is the emancipation proclamation. Before the elections Greeley denounced the army as a democrutic, pro- slavery army. Now, for a different purpose, he claims that it is republican. Savve Qo: Pevr.—The Richmond journals are devoting a good deal of space to the discussion of the question a5 to what terms the South would accept as the basis of a settlement with the Morth. That iss good sign; for it shows that they are beginning to realize the pocessity of speedily coming to some conclusion ipoh the subject. A better symptom still is the fact stated by the Richmond Hnguirer of the 23d, that large numbers of persons, principally aliens, are secking and obtaining permission to leave the Southern confederacy. Can there be «clearer proof that the cause of the South ia despaired of by those having opportunities of judging of its resources, and that they are de. serting its failing fortunes to avoid being in- volved in the punishmont and ruin which they expect will fall upon all who have casi their lot with it? The statement of General Edwin Price, son of the rebel Major General [rice, who has just taken the oath of allegiance to the United States government, that the rebellion isnearly broken, and that the Confederate army can exist bat « short time longer, receives strong confirmation from the above facts. It therefore only requires the campaign to be vigorously pushed forward by land and water to insure the realization of our assertion that the war can be brought toa close by the first of the new year. A Dustivetion with 4 Dirrerexce.—-Some of the English papers assert that the North is no longer attempting the subjugation of the South, but is merely fighting for a boundary. We perfectly agree with the Huglish papers, but differ with them a# to what that boundary is, They believe that we are fighting only for the boundary of the Potomac and the Ohio, where- aa we really insist upon and are determined to possess the boundary of the Gulf of Mexico and the Rio Grande. This war is no fifty-four forty matter. We will never compromise on this boundary question Sauce vor THe Goose ann Ganvex.—The Tri- bune’s only argument against Seymour is that he will probably receive the votes of a few seces- sion sympathizers. If a candidate is to be attacked because @ few bogus patriots intend to vote for him, certainly Wadsworth oannot escape for he is supported by all the contract swindlerg, ive cent brokers, stay at home soldiers, Gree- and free niggers of the republican party. Politicians who Live in giaes houses ehould not ‘throw stones. tates at Washington. ‘The Governors of Northern Btates whe held @ convention at Providence, Rhode Island, aad cording to news from the Western States, about to bold another convention at Washington the object being to control the action of the federal government as to the policy and con- duct of the war, the management of campaigns, the regulation of generals, and other matters of whioh they desire to rélieve the President of the responsibility. If thi news should turn out not to be true hereafter, it is no proof that it was not true when it was first announced. If the convention should not be held, it will only be because the premature publication of the pro. gramme shall have disconcerted the plans of the conspirators. Their objects at Providence and Altoona, and the objecta which they contem- Plate at Washington, are the same. Their do- sign ia to put Mr. Lincoln under their feet, to virtually and practically nullify the federal authority, and to act as independently as the Southern rebels. The effect of this movement on tlie coming elections camot fail to be very great. The radical spirit of disloyalty, or conditional loyal- ty (which amounts to'the aame thing), can "go longer be endured By the people, and they will show their indignation against it fn @ very de- cisive Way at thé Wallot’ bow. “The course of “the rebels at the South and the distnion. aullt- fiers at the North is subatentially and ‘practi- cally the same. The difference is not in prin- ciple, but only in degree. The action of “the Governors will increase the conservative ma- jorities everywhere, and perfect the popular revolution inaugurated by the misconduct and failure of the republican party. Out of evil comes good. The law of com- pensation pervades the world. The defeat of the republicans will not injure the nation. Though they have the political power in their hands, and their overthrow might seem at first sight to be injurious, their discomfiture will prepare the way for more vigorous and ener- getic action. It will unite and consolidate the fighting and governing element of the North. The radicals have equally failed to govern and to fight. The conservative element will furnish the ruling avd the combative qualities, From narrow-minded fanaticism nothing Jarge or great cau spring. From conservatism must come the salvation of the country. When the inaurgent chiefs find that the radicals and abo- litionisis are defeated in the coming elections, as they have been in the contests of this month, their hearts will quail within them; for they know what awaits themselves. The triumph of conservatism at the North is but the pre. cursor of the conservative reaction at the South, As the Northern population become discon- tented with the conduct of the war and with the results of the financial disturbances caused by Secretary Chase, so will the Soutbern popu- lation become awakened to the reality of their situation. The great conservative masses, North and: South, bave been drawn into the vortex of civil war by the extreme factions of both sections, and the people of the South will’ find it to be their interest to put down the faction in their section who have usurped the government, just as the. people of the North are rising in their majesty to crush the party who shave temporarily ob- tained power under false pretences, and heve brought the Northern States to the verge of de- struction. Instead of carrying on the war for the Union with vigor and energy, the republicans have obatructed and paralyzed it by their dishonest schemes to pervert it to a war for the abolition of slavery. The elections are the denuncidtion of the popular wrath against them, and if they will not heed thts manifestation let them look out for more terrible consegitences. They might as well attempt to arrest the progress of the dowing tide of the ocean as tostop the reve. lution which has now set in. Their wisdom will be to submit with a good grace to what is inevitable. The completion of the Northern revolution at the polls will be the signal {for a similar revolution at the South, which will overtbrow Jeff. Davis & Co. The people of the South will soon understand that they have been deceived by politicians and demagogues, and have expended their blood snd treasure in vain. The restora. tion of amicable relations will foliow, and the authors of the disruption of the Union will meet with the rewards due to their crimes. Tae New Reset, Ra on Our Cowsnners. Marine, —The recent oxploits of the rebel priva- teer Alabums are croating great a igty amongst Git shipowners. @ ae rte dertrojed fourteen of our merchant vessels, and before her career is stopped she will have done an im- mense amount of damage. The fact that five more vessels of similar build are being fitted out in British ports as Confederate men-of-war, or privateers, is not calculated to allay the alarm that prevails amongst our shipping interests. That such violations of its professed neutralily should be permitted or winked at by the British governmegt is of course siameful; but, as we are powerless to prevent them, wo must deal with them as best wo cau. What stops, we would ask, has the Navy Department taken to puta stop to these depredations on our com- merce’? It was well aware that the Alabama was in progress of construction for priva- teer purposes, and yet nothing seoms to have been done to prevent her putting to sea or to follow her up.
