THE SIFUATION. Tho army of General McClellan is surely and rapidly outflanking the enemy. In addition to the gaps in the Blue Ridge already in his possession, ue took hold yesterday of Ashby's Gap, the enemy “ saving retired. No large force of rebels could be observed between that point and Winchester-- whore they secmed to be in considerable nam- bvers—though the whole valley was visible from the mountain, and General McCicllan made careful baervations there. Generals Pleasanton and Averill, with their cavalry and ariiliery, occupied Picdmont on Tuesday night, and, pushing on from wacnce, took possession of the town of Markham, Wicr a spirited skirmish. The approaches to Ma- Dassas Gap and Chester Gap, on the left of the ilne Ridge, are now commanded by these gen- ovals. Information from Manassas Junction yesterday Says that the portion of General Sickles’ command sent forward to look after the Orange and Alexan- ria Railroad found it in pretty good condition nearly up to Catlett's Station. So is the Manassas Railroad clear up to Thoroughfare gap. The rail- road bridge at Broad run was found partially bacned by the rebels, and its supports partly @awed through. It can, however, be easily and quickly repaired. Kettle Run bridge was found uninjured. Our troops hold the country in the vicinity of Brentsville, and have driven in the pa- trolling rebel parties upon Warrenton Janotion. They, however, continue to scout down as low as Catiett’s ‘Station. Information received Tuesday night indicates that the total rebel force at War- renton Junction is not more than three thousand infantry, with corresponding numbers of cavalry and artillery. General Carl Shuiz occupies Thoroughfare Gap, aud Colonel Stephen McGrostry, with the gallant Sixty-first Ohio regiment, is on the other side, it isvamored that Gencrale Jacksou and Lee are at Culpepper with a strong force. The forces of General Porter made a reconnois- sancc on Tuesday through Suicker’s Gap, and had a brisk skirmish with the rebels on the banks of the Shenandoah and drove them ecross the river. By the arrival of the United States steamship Florida from Port Royal at this port yesterday, we have the painful particulars of the death of Gen. Mitchel, and account of bis obsequies, simply bat impressively conducted. The malig- nant fever which carried off the gallant general is abating in that vicinity, and the prospect of re- covery for those smitten with it is considered very hopeful. General Brannar, who is now in command of the late General MitchePs district, has issued an official report of the recent battle on the railroad near Pi igo, which we give in another colama. The general resul@ of this action are alrcady-famijar te our «caders, but the details fornished by General Brannan embodying the list of casualties will be read with great interest. For the fall protection 6f commerce on the Mis- sissippi river, Gen. Sherman and Admiral Porter have offered the protection of our ganboats to all vessels plying between Memphis and Cairo, Per- mits can be obtained from the Board of Trade.

The Whig says that the order issued by the rebel Secretary of War, extending the enrollment of conscripts toall men between eighteen and forty-Ave, is promulgated under a law which is “nopepular, if not odious,” among the people. The same paper says that General Jackson has destroyed all that portion of the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad from the North Moun- tain to Shepherdstown, tearing up the rails and burning the tics.

The Recent Conservative Revolution— What is Next in Ordort In these late elections,we have afl the mani_ festations of a great political revolution. Their results have astonished all parties, and com- pletely confounded the abolitionJacobins. From New York to Illinois the people of the great and powerful central division: of the Union have spoken with a voice which cannot be misunderstood. It is the same voice which last year so emphatically endorsed the party identified with the administration. That party is now tebuked and repudiated, because of ite pernicious measures of last winters legislation and its enormous corruptions, while the original wise and patriotic war policy of President Lin-, coln is reaffirmed by the people. They cal! upon him to adhere to that policy. They de- mand that this war shall be prosecuted for the restoration of the Union, and that the wicked faction seeking to divert it into a war for the bloody extirpation of Southern slavery shall, by the President, be henceforth rejected and turned adrift. This is the true interpretation of these late elections. Had the republican party adhered to and cordially co-operated with President Lincoln in the prosecution of this war upon his own sagacious programme, all these late elec- tlonsavould have gone almost uncontested in support of ihe administration and the republl- “cans. But the Jacobin club of the preseat Congress bas offended the consorvative masses of the people, and they have pronounced their judgment. A new House of Representatives is clected accordingly, and, as embodying the will of the people, it is of the first importance that its views and opinions should be brought at once to bear in support of the President aad the war. Unfortunately, however, this new Congress,: in the regular eourse of things, will not assem” ble until the first Monday in December, 1863° In the long interval ef thirteen months until } that day the isaues of this war, for good or evil, may be decided. How, then, can ‘hese repre- sentatives, fresh from the people of the loya} States, make kaown their opinions as a body of men in season to put a check upon the Jacobins at the approaching semion of Con- gresst The ony way is that which we have already suggested. Let an informal meeting of all the members elect of the next House of Representatives be called in this city or in Washington at an early duy. When thus as- sembled let the meeting dejiberately consider, digest and adopt an address to the American people on the subject of this war, and the beat reevlts may be antleipated. The administra- tion will be enlightened, the Jacobins of the present Congress will be warned and the Union sentiment of the South will berevived. although | apparently now extinguished by the forocious | vengeance of the abolitionigts. Thus, with the | dispersion of the rebel army of Virginia and | with the advance of our victorious troops upon | Richmond, the war will be ended, not in an } iguominious treaty of separation, but in the | graceful submission of the South, the recovery of every foot.of soil of “the Union as it was,” and in the fall re-establishment of every article and particle of ‘the constitution as it is.” We accordingly suggest to Fernando Wood, James Brooks and others from this city and neighborhood elected to the next Congress that they consult togetber and iasue a circular for the conference we have indicated, including all the members elect to the next Honse of Representatives. Time is preolous. An army and navy which swallow up two millions of dollars per day are taxing the resources of the loyal States too heavily to be borne without re monstrance, when, for lack of energy and bar- mony, the war drags on so heavily that honest men begin.to despair. Let the members elect to the new Congresa come forward to the sup. port of the President, admonish hia of the rocks and breakers which He before him, and of the channel of safety, and their suggestions will evrely be respected. ‘The united voices of New York, New Jersey, Pevnsylvanis, Ohio, Indiana and Iilinojs, to- The regalar monthly meeting of the Chamber of | gether with the conservative public sentiment Commorce will take place at one o’clock to-day, Hon. Townsend Harris, late Minister to Japan, will be present on the occasion, and probably make a short address to the Chamber. At a regular meeting of the Board of Education, held last evening, a report was received from the City Guperintendent, from which it appears tha; ‘the aggregate number of pupils under instruction te the severe! public schools, during the year end- ing on the B0th of Beptember, was 173,198—being @ freon of 19,354 over the pumber in attend. of the border slave States, cover the wealth d the strength of the Union. These late Oc- tober and November elections have indicated the views, the wishes and the demands of these central conservative States. Let their moral instructions be brought to bear upon the prose- eution of this war and upon the Jacobins of the present Congress, and President Lincoln’s satin will yet win the glory of « Ui restored and » permanent peace. Moundred Poor, ality Greeley bas just encow crushing political defeat.” He is now laid out, cold and dead, for the remainder of his life. Hlis promised nine hundred thousand men could not bé found on election day. Doubtless, ecared by Gieeley’s own sanguinary throats, they all etayed away from the polls in order to avoid the draft. At any rate, poor old Gree- ley is dono for politically. With deaperate courage he haa already planned and begun a new campaign, however. He appeals from the ballot to the bullet, from polities to pistols, from spouting to spitting. Tho manner in which he opens this new attack upon his oppo- nents may be seen in the following letters:— TO THD EDITOR OF TEE t reccived by mail ica MMRALD, T have 5 the ouclosed commual Task you ¢0 putlish for the benefit ofall con- ticn, w corned.

Gurowski who signs this delicate epistle to Mr. John Van Buren is the well known, distinguished, elegant, polite and ac- complished Russian nobleman who was at one time an attache of the State Department, but whose stupendous abilities, rare attainments and unequalled manners so far eclipsed the re- publican simplicity of Secretary Seward’s ac. quirements and deportment that the Secretary, jealously fearful of invidious comparisons, was reluetantly obliged to request Gurowski to re- sign his position. Since that time, and indeed for some years previous, Gurowski has held the arduous and responsible station of Wash- ington correspondent of that veracious, honest and impartial journal, the New York Tribune. William A. Fitzhugh, Esq., to whom the Count Gurowski refers Mr. Van Buren, is doubt- less a relative of the Fitzhughs of Virginia, and is consequently the representative of one of the oldest and most celebrated I’. F, V's. As Mr. Wadsworth, for whom Gurowski evi> dently acts, is also an aristocrat of the Treasury stamp, and has just declined, by « large majority, to fill the gubernatorial chair of this ‘State, the whole affair is emt- nently aristocratic, and has a remarkable spice of high life about it. Greeley’s new cam- paign certainly opens richly. ~ Count de Gurowski, the illustrious Russian ro- bicman and renowned diplomat, is clearly one of Greeley’s nine hundred thousand men, and, as he is the Washington correspondent of the Tribune, he feels that it becomes his exalted rank to begin the war designed by his superior, Marshal Greeley. Fort Lafayette is evidently too small to hold the vast numbers of conserva- tives who have shown themselves in the recent elections, and therefore Greeley, being unable to imprison all the opponents of the radicals, has resolved to kill them off one by one. Joby Van Buren is selected as the firat victim, be- cause he is of one the most prominent demo- crate, and tsalgo a candidate for that Senator- ship to which Greeley aspires4 and Gurowski, the first of the nine hundred thousand, is pitted against him. Gurowski thinks it would be doing Van Buren too much honor to spit in his face; but Grecley has no such refined soruple. Gteeley will do all the spitting and Gurowski end the other eight hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Tribune warriors will do all the Sighting. Every man who wor,ed and voted against Wadsworth will, by this absurdly simple plan of operations, be spit upon and killed off in a Gne, gentlemanly fashion. Cassius Marcellus Clay suggested hanging; but that ie a very vulgar sort of death either to endure or to inflict. Greeley improves upon Clay, and substitutes spitting and the code duello. We never imagined Greciey had so touch genius. How unfortunate it is that this brilliant idea did not occur te bim before the election. In spite of our utmost efforts, however, we find ourselves unable to overcome the feeling that Count de Gurowski, the magnificent Rus- stan nobleman, dazzling diplomat and able correspondent of the Tridune, has made rather @ faue pas in this revelation of Greeley’s pro- gramme. The Count, whose splendid wit, un- rivalied genius and general character we so cordially admire, will pardon and excuse this uncontrollable and perhaps mistaken senti- ment. The abolitionists of this country, as the erudite Count must know, have never been re- markable for decency, and we fear that in joining our Jacobinical faction the incomparable Count has rather dirtied his hands and. bis reputation. Generally speaking, the King of Dahomey is a gentleman in comparison with one of Greeley’s gang; and it isa matter of surprise and regret that the Count, who is undoubtedly one of the finest linguists and finished noblemen in the world, should so soon have adopted the man- ners and the language of the company he keeps. We firmly but respectfully suggest to the honorable Gurowski that either Greeley or Wadsworth could bave managed this affair much better, though not perhaps in £0 aristo- cratic a style. Why should Greeley ask his correspondent to fight, and content himself with expectoration? Why should Wads- worth want to set up Gurowski as a target, when he is himself a briga- dier general, and has a sword and seve. ral pistols, relics of the Bull ran stampede, in firet rate order for the fray? It strikes us mild. ly but irresistibly that Gurowski, the noble, learned and unsurpassed, had better withdraw from this business, and that somebody is making a fool of him—if he will exouse the emphatic but necessary expression. Should he persist, however, we can’only advise John Van Buren to provide himself with @ spittoon and a cow. hide. Thon, when Greeley approaches to spit, ‘and Gurowski stands by ready to fight, let Van Buren present his spittoon to the Tribune phi- loropher and his cowhide to that Russian Ad- mirable Crichton, the Count de Gurowski, and he will be troubled no further. Wuo Ane THE Tralrors ?—Greeley, Bryant, Raymond and the pious Hall, of the Commercial, ‘have suddenly stopped their cry for the hang- ing of traitors or their incarceration in Fort Lafayette. Of the traitors thus denounced our was the chief, But who are the trai- tors now? The Jacebine are down, and they may well be dumb. im Murope. A singular spect been presented to the world since this Hon firet tainted our glorious republic. TW governments, the eristocracies aud the press of Europe have vied in their malignant efforts against the welfare of the Amerioan nation. Openly and unblush- ingly havo they encouraged the diabolical schemes of the arch traitors who have con- trolled the eecede& States. Bitter comments, vile misrepresentations, scandalous lies, have been circulated throughout the whole of the European continent, with the purpose of im- pressing upon the people, the masses, the gov- erned, that republics were unfeasible; that the people could not govern themselves; that the many were to be guided by the few; that freo- dom was but a name. But a few moaths ago, when as yet we could proudly claim that honored, that glorious, that noble’ title, “The United States,” we were feared, unwillingly admired, oringingly courted, by those’same governments, aristocracies and press which now evince their enmity with such virulence, and bespatter us with suoh abuse. ‘The yearnings of the nations of Europe after our free, our enlightened, our civilized form of government, were but illy repressed by their frightened despots, who, with dismay, saw their downtrodden, unhappy subjects flocking to our hospitable shores by thousands, by millions. The governments of Europe stood aghast with wonder and fear at our gigantic strides towards power and influence. and, as they foresaw the arrival of the moment when the force of our example was to be the signal for the downfall of their despotisms, the iron of hatred entered deeply into their hearts; schemes and base intrigues were brought to bear against that mighty tree of liberty which we were so proudly rearing heavenwards. In our fond imaginings ite branches were to spread far and wide, casting over all the oppressed and tyranny ridden of the earth a genial shade, that of an untrammelied, manly independence. But as Satan scowled darkly and enviously upon the happy denizens of Eden, 80 the despots of the Old World hated and abhorred the great American republic. Accursed with an institution bequeathed to us by England, we had a tainted spot upon us. Around this grouped our enemies, and, working upon the bad passions of evil men, they pro- duced our present vite rebellion. There was one, just one, hole in our glorious armor, and the enemy found it. Is this an argument against cur institutions, our laws, our liberties? As well come to a like conolusion in that case where an angel fell from envy and pride. And yet, far and wide, throughout Europe you see it written, you hear it asserted, “The American republic is a failure.” But if so why dwell so much upon the fact? Why’ do miserable scribblers, sent here to spy out the errors or weaknesses of the few and comment thereon, to the exclusion of the truth and the real state of affairs, so con- stantly repeat the refrain—‘a failure, a failure?” Because they fear the reverse ; because they know that the ultimate success of the govern- ment of this great republic is as certainly the downfall of the rotten despotisms of Europe. The people of England, of France, of Russia and of Austria, are not convinced of the utter failure of democratic institutions. They feel that too great astress is laid upon the asser- tions to that effect made by their salaried, their manacled journals, and when our hour of tri- umph shall arrive the nations of Europe will, as one man, rise in their might, and despotism will bave seen itsday. But a few weeks ago this was foreshadowed in England, when the peeple voted that “the South had caused thelr present suffering and want.” Those who called forth this opinion had hoped for one the re- verse of the blunt conclusion come to by the people; but they were deceived, and ne doubt the lesson struck home. They found that, spite of their misreprezentations, the masses judged our present struggle correctly; and so bave the masses throughout Europe, as time will surely prove. We can well conceive that European governments desire the dismember- ment of this republic. The very word republic is a reproach to them, and we do not doubt that, until we have crushed Davis and his followers, the one man government—the mili- tary despotism of the South—will continue to obtain favor in the eyes of European govern- ments, aristocracies and press. But our day of triumph is near at hand. We will, wo vist, we shall conquer a peace, a glorious peace, a reconstruction of the Union as our fathers left it to us; and when our great efforts are ended we shall look for the be- ginning of that uprising, that great popular demonstration, which European governments now dread. This must be the inevitable result of the American rebellion; and when, as now, the governments, the aristocracies and the press of Europe fan the rebellious flames con- suming so much of life, of treasure and of happiness on our side of the Atlantic, they are but magnifying andrendering more intense the heat of their own funeral pile. Bucnanan ror Unyirep States Seyaror.— The movement to make ex-President Buchanan tha next United States Senator from Pennsyl- vania is most ridiculous and imprudent. The imbecility of Buchanan involved usin this war. Had he but possessed as much courage in his whole body as General Jackson bad in one hair of his head, he would have taken the ad- vice of General Scott, and served the South Carolina secessionists as Jackson served the nullifiers, and we should have had no farther trouble. Buchanaa is unfit for any office of responsibility and trust, and especially for so honorable an office as that of a Senator of the United States. We would sooner sce old Simon Cameron occupy this position; for Cameron, unlike the imbecile and treacherous Buchanan, has some pluck, some capacity, some frankness, and some fidelity to his friends. Tar New York Detucatton in Conoress.~ In political revolutions, as in great freshete, some worthless brushwood is always swept along with the current. In the New York dele- gation just elected to Congress there is a great deal of this sort of stuff. Fernando Wood and James Brooks are the only very smart men— all the other delegates are mere nincompoops, except Deacon Herrick, who is worse than a nincompoop. The places of such men ought to have been filled by Sickles, Cochrane and other talented patriots. For our two smart Congreasmen--Wood and Brooks—we have a bit of advice. They must now quit small, peddling, personal politios, and attend to the groat and grave duties whieh de- volve upon them as the representatives of this tremendous popular revolution. If they do this the Know Nothings, or of Mozart Hall, or of Tammany Coal Hole, they will ruin themeetves and the country. Let them begin their new oa reer aa statesmen by calling a general assem. bly of all the newly eleoted ixre- spective of party, to meet in this city and de- cide upon what shall be done to satisfy the poor ple and benefit the country. Tue Recent Orerarions oy THY ALABAMA— Wuat Wrst. Joux Burt, Saxt—We recently gave an account of the late captures of Anglo- rebel ateamors by the United States blockading squadron, and we have now to notice other losses sustained by Englishmon through their property coming iu contact with the very peo- ple they have sustained in carrying on thoir devilish operations against the commerce of the United States. The entire cargoes of the ships Lafayette and Manchester, recently destroyed by the pirate Semmes, wore English property. What will the owners think when they hear the news! Will they rest quiet, or will they raise a furor about it, and want to fight somebody? To whom will they look for indemnification? Will they try to obtain the amount of their losses from the government of Jeff. Davis? And, should they succeed in their demands upon the arch rebels, would they take payment in Con- federate bonds or scrip? Ms It will be a bitter pill for Englishmen to know that the ship they have built, fitted out, armed, provisioned and manned has been the means of destroying s0 much of their valuable property. Will their opinion of Semmes be as exalted, when they hear that he treated the certificate and seal of her Majeaty’s representa- tive in New York with indignity, as it was from the commencement of his raid in the Sum_ ter up to the time of his departure from Liver. pool in the Alabama ? ~ Will John Bull continue the chuckle occa- sioned by beering of the destruction of Yankce ships, when he knows that the property of his subjects formed their cargo? Or will he, John Bull like, deem it an outrage, and insist upon being paid by-somebody, no matter who ? It is refreshing to know that people are sometimes caught in the traps they set for others, and it {s more than refreshing to know that those Englishmen who aided in fitting out the “290” have been in a great measure gui- ferers by her recent operations. We await with some curiosity for the news from England, to learn whatavill be the effect of the Alabamo’s depredations among the popu- lation of that island, and what action the Bri- tish government will take in relation to the matter. Our government will most assuredly notify that of Great Britain that she will be held responsible for all depredations of the Ala- bama upon our commerce. And it remains to be seen if England will acknowledge her re- sponsibility, and order the Alabama to be treat- ed as a pirate by her cruisers, or refuse to have anything to do in the premises. Surely, if England is so particular about be- ing strictly neutral as to deny our natioual vessels the privilege of remaining longer in her waters than twenty-four hours, she will do something to put a stop to the ope- rations of a pirate built in one of her home ports, and armed with cannon of English manu- facture. We shall now be able to see what value to place upon John Bull’s professions of neutrali- ty. We will be able to discover if he is in the smallest degree prejudiced in favor of our ene- mies or not. If he is not he wil! do his share in aiding us to catch her, both by sending vessels in’pursuit of her, ordering her seizure in what ever English port she may enter, and paying us for whatever damage she may have done to our commerce since sailing from Liverpool. Rumor says that the English government have ordered ber seizure should she enter an English port, and that their cruisers are di- rected to capture her on the high seas; but we have little faith in any report of the kind, for the conduct of the English government and people has been since the commencement ef the war of such a character that no dependence can be placed upon any report that gives them credit for honorable conduct. We will be told, as we were when Mr. Adams rem@nstrated against the vessels loading arms to run the blockade in English ports, to catch the Alabama if we can, and that the British government does not sce any ground to inter- fere in the matter, which will be paramount to saying the operations of the Alabama meet their entire approval. Tue Capiner ix AFFLICtioy.—With the ex. ception of Secretary Seward, who is probably smiling on one side of his face and looking doleful on the other, all the members of the Cabinet are doubtless very glum over the re- sults of theelections. We have no sympathy for ‘these mourners, and aro heartily rejoiced that the tactics of Chase and Company are so thoroughly used up. For ow good, honest, patriotic Presideut we have this word ef en- couragement, however: Let him cheer up. Our word for it, he wil receive inore practical support from the conservatives just elected, in pursuing the firm, constitatioual course which he has marked out for himself and the coun- try, than he ever -has from those radical aboli- tionists whe have tried to delude him with falsehoods, and whose pressure upon him bas been so painful and ao dangerous to the coun- try. The President is now freed from there revolutionary and fanatical schemers, and can go on in his glorious work of restoring the Union. Let him be assured that he shall be heartily sustained. Those who would persuade him otherwise are already convicted of false hood, and mean only to deceive him. The radi- cal abolitionists were defeated, the constitu- tional President was victorious, in the recent elections. Now press en the war and save the Union.

Didbrences | between the War Department and Govornor uta ae f reported ag the groundwork of the prediction. In conversation a few days since the President poke. half jocularly, of the Governor of Pennsylvania aa a gremt mutineor. Some little time since a person, who is very)! strong in the confidence of the President, is reported te, have gald that Secretaries Stanton and Smith would leave the Cubinct before January; aud events thas are now transpiring geom to strengthen tho iden, Thus the intimate friends of Secretary Smith say tbat a strong effort is making to get for bim the comfortable! and valuable life office of Circuit Judge for Indians; ead upon the understanding that Mr. Stanton had thought of, going abroad for the bonefit of his impaired health, great demonstration of radicals has been mace to keeg him in the Cabinet. The retirscy of Secretary Gunem;, should cause the regfet of all conservative men; for be; struck Camoron ebolitionism a prompt, bold and strong viow when it was first promulgated, upon a gay ang festive occasion which was got up by Forney, ata News York Hotet style, to take the ear of the country. 4 EFFECT ON THE KADIOALS OF THR NOVEMDES BLECTIONS. 5 Tho radicals here are in a terrible way on aceount f thas regult of yesterday's elections.

L THR ADMINISTRATION AND THE NEW YORK RADIOAL ORG: Tho subject matter of aspersions upon the administra - tion like those of the Zémesand Zribune, as to alleged excoutive imbeoility touching army movements, have no effect upon the Cabinet; for it points te: the fact that McClellan is flanking the rebelj army far down towards Gordonsville, though pe an@- Sigel have but just got uniforms, shoes, &o., for came) paigning in oold weather. Moreover, It is not above a” month since the Tribune wa recommonding an inactivity Policy on the northern frontiers of rebeldem, while the” guuboats and the insurgents of the rebel States should take the war into their hands for the coming winter. : Another point which the government officials make! ‘against the Zimes and Tribune is that the stopping of em” Jistments by Congress bas been the great cause of the! mititary misfortunes and calamities of the past summer. NEW DEPARTMENT CREATED FOR “(LAME DUOK "*? GENERALS, t A good squib is now travelling the rounds here, purport-- ug to boa “General Order No. 290,’’ creating the “ De-* partment of Salt Lake,” with the subordinate militery dutricts of “Salt River,” “ Up a Stump,” and “ Deng? Brown.” The command of this department is tr be veste@ in Major Goneral Cassius Micawber Clay, with nejor Geme-" ral Joba C. Fremont as ‘‘ consulting general.” Its forees- are to consist of the ‘‘ Blonker Brigade” (+ Teutons on the | half-shel’’), commanded by Brigadier General Louig- Bieoker. The ‘Busted Brigade’ (‘‘Hibernians ta ®' stew’), commanded hy Brigadier General R. Bustes@, with Wildes P. Walker as hie chief of staff and obie®’ quartermaster; and the ‘Saxton Brigade’’ (‘* negroes’ on two shelis '’), commanded by Brigadier General Rufea Saxton, with the Rev.

Gen. Wm. Be Strong, while the Provost Marshal business of head- quarters is to be be placed under the experienced eye at Brig. Gon. Bowen, formerly of the New York police. 18 ts expected that Gen. Halleck and the Secrotary of War ‘htond mating early application to the Senate for+ special permission to send this whole force up Salt river to the eceve of those operations, in which alone they can be useful; and it is known that Quartermaster General Meigp ia already having several dozen flatboats (the flattest kind of flats), prepared at the Norfolk Navy Yard for assisting them in their ascent, Others contend, however: that they should be sent up “in balloons,” and be “ontl I up” immediately —every confidence being felt that Brign- > dier Generals Bustced, Strong and Blenker can, whether singly or collectively, do any amount of “blowing” an@ ‘ewind-raising” that may be necessary to give the gaee ] aa a ER. ous vehicle its desired direction. THR DELAY IM BENDING SUPPLIES TO M’CLELLAN'® aruy. From the fact that it is authoritatively certified that great quantities of clothing, shoes, &c.,tave been fur- | nished to Gencral McClellan’s army sinco the 24th ult., the defamers of that general ought at least to be satisfied that the army were in need of supplies after the battle of Antictam, and that they have only just now been fuilp distributed. However, the partisan pressure and calum- ny against General MeCiellan continue unabated. Whe | ther Governor Morton and Senator Foot are hero to de. mand his removal, or to push State accounts, through the | ecconnting officers, is pot known. The radicals arc deter- mined that Secretary Stanton shall retain his position, Notwithstanding the declarations that all requisitions for clothing for the Army of the Potomac have boon filled as rapidly as possible, the fact ia attested by maby witnesses recently retarmed from Marper’s Ferry that whole regi* ments are almost naked and quite shooless, There ts @ acrew loose somewhere, and an epportunity is a‘forded for another investigating committee, which may be of , | practical benefit. @ MOVEMENTS OF DISTINGUISHED OFFICIALS.
