A SETV I'OUCV.People who have wondered why the

army of the Bepnhlio was cut up intosquads, each acting without the supportand independentlyof the others, will heglad to hear that a new orderof things isto prevail, and that heavy concentrationand powerful blows areresolved upon asthe rale of future operations. Good!

THESEVENTH MICHIGAN.Gen, Burnside selected the 7Ui iEcHgan

The Western soldierspoint the way to victoiy, and sayto theirEastern companionsin arms, “ Come on,boys, this is theroad to Richmond.”

GENERAL HcDOWELL,Gen. McDowell who. ofall officersof thearmy, is one of the njost temperate, never

indulging in even tea or coffee, hasbeenparadedin the newspapers formonthspastas a drunkard, whose excesses have beenat once the cause of the thorough demor-alization of his corps and of irreparableinjury to the progress ofour arms. Theproceedings of themilitary court now sit-ting at Washington, have, however theymayleave his military reputation, estab-lished his character for sobriety on a basisthat nothingcan shake; and they will,wctrust, he a lesson to the licentious journalsthat have been bnsy in traducing him—alesson that they will not soon forget Wedoubt if one of them wiU hive the mag-nanimity to'acknowledge its error, and dothe General justice.

BIBBS OF A FUATHER.Since McClellan was dismissed for in-

competencyfrom thehead of the Potomaca.'my, he has associated exclusively with.secession sympathizers, men he wentto New Tort he placed himself in thekeeping of John Van Boren, Fernandoand Ben Wood, and other secessionists ofthat sort. The other day McClellan wasthe lionat a grand and formal dinner atthe house of Richard Lathers, at NewRochelle, a suburban villa of Kew York.Mr. Lathers is an opulent merchant ofopen and undisguised secession sympa-thies, and whose house is the headquartersof the aristocratic secesh of the city.Straight Union men are never invited toLathers' Tabic. S. S. Cox, who hasbecomens bitterly secesh as Yaliandigham, gave adinner to quasi-Unionists in Washingtonlust week,at which McClellan was theprincipal guest. The character of the en-tertainment may be imagined from thestyleof personspresent, "liU John Por-ter, Wicklifle, Crittenden, Teaman, Car-lisle, Yaliandigham, Mcnzies,Powell, Bay-ard,Voorhees, Allen and other patriots ofIke same stamp constituted the party. A3nan canbe pretty correctly judged ofbythe company hekeeps. Isit any wonderthat such generals as McClellan and Por-ter weremore dangerous to the loyal thanthe rebel side?

A PBECIOUS CREW.The experience of that eminently piousand patriotic sheet, the Chicago Times, inits efforts to do the sensation:!] in notvs-Jiaper literature, ought to excite the pityof its patrons. One correspondent drivena-way from Cairo, as a spy; another in theJnilitaiyprisonat Alton, for grave offensesagainst the loyal cause; another forced toconfess that he had knowingly falsified;another driven beyond our Jinesand infoIherebel countiy, for communicating withthe enemy: and now that prince ofscoun!rircis and impostors, J. Wesley Greene-These are the enterprising fellows upon■whom the organ of secession de-pends, raid whose tales arepalmed off upon the public, asthe latest and most reliable news. • Theseare the fellows who do the horrible—wiitcaccounts of the atrocities of the Federaltroops—workuppeacepropositions—abusethePresident and his Cabinet, and gener-al Srt' c tone and direction to that sheet.Altogether, they manage to keep up a con-stant, but happily ineffectual, fire in thetear a method of warihre that was prom-ised to oursoldiers when the war be-an.That J. Wesley Greene’sgun recoiled andHpiously damaged his friends, is not thefault of thosewho charged it.

J’ItOSIAVBBY ANDAKB-SIiTBSTAcontemporary journalof the opposite

party pours its wrath upon theTkibuxefor its continued and persistent use of theterm “Pro-SlaTety” in deagnaling the so-called Democratic opponents of Mr. Lin-coln’s Administration, where oppositionisBased on objection to his Anti-Slaverypolicy. We havea word to sayahoutthat,and before we get through we shall con-Tince our assailant thatif hehas nothingworse to say than that we are “ Abolition!ists,”the may with our free consen, fireaway until his ammunitionis exhausted.

The so-called Democracy proceedupon, thehypothesis that Slavery must be per-petual-, that the disgrace which its pres-ence entailsmust neverhe wiped out; thatits disastrous effect upon the government,upon tiie public morals, upon thenational industiy, upon our politi-cal parties, and upon, the unity ofthe Republic must be endured.Theirpractical belief is that he who ques-tions the rightfuincss and necessity of theinstitution is to that extent a disturber ofthe public peace; and that political actionlooking lo its removal is treason outright,ibis, we Say, is their practical belief.Theira vowedtheoretical opinions,by whichthey ask to be judged,give neither direc-tion nor impulse to anything but theirwords Hence the frequency and acrimo-ny of their charges against the civil andmilitary authorities; hence their fear thatthe war maynot be so carriedon as tocon-serve that which is to them more sacredthan the Constitution, and more enduringthan the Union; hence their effortsfor a reconstruction that shall giveback the traitors to the councilsof the nation, and restore the su-premacy of man-selling in all the fu-ture of the Government Their action isentirelyconsistentwith, notwhat theysay,bufwhat they believe. Their position isproot that theydeny the possibility ofre-form, of development, of progress. AChristianity that authorizesman to sell hisbrother; and a Democracy that legalizesthe.transaction by merciless enactments,—these arc their highest ideal standards, theone ofReligion and theother of Politics.

The differencein the parties is funda-iaeataL It is theoutgrowth of dissimilarsnd conflicting principles. Mr. Lincoln,rnd otiieraofhis school,believe thatslaveryis not only a crime,but that like all othercrimes it ia, in whatsoever wayregarded, amistake; that if ia a blot upon thenationalgood name, a Mreirence togood govern-ment, s corrupter of the national character.

If I) a deadly virus in thebody politic, the pro-moter of dissension and strife, and thesuf-ficient cause of the prospective nationaldeath. They hold thatita eradication isboth desirable and practicable; that theworld has not yet arrived at perfection,that weare at the very threshholdof insti-tutional and national development; andthatduty and interest require an effort forthe removal or destruction of whateverhindrances ignorance and despotism mayhave left in the path of progress. Theyhope that all of Democracy is notlearned, * and that all of Christianityis notrealized. Standing on suchground,but carefully observant of the formsof lawand obligation,their read-iness to embrace the first lawful oppor-tunity to remove the blot upon the na-tional escutcheon, tostrike the cause of thewar deadat their feet, and to reassert theDemocratic idea entire, might have beenpredicted.

Given,a man’s actions, and you havea faithful record of what he believes.Given,his, words, and you have what hesayshe believes. The record is alwaysauthentic, while the assertion is, if notalways false, hut rarely wholly true. Inthe long ran, no man is false to his con-victions. To do so is impossible.Now What is true of the individualisalso true of parties which are but ag-gregations of individuals. If thisis so, weneed make noapologies for the terms,Pr-oand Anti-Slavery, that we so fre-quently Goinghehindprofessionsand downto beliefs, we have our justifica-tion in factswhich are. as indisputableastheyare convincing. And howmuchsoeverouropponentsmay shrink from thepublicadmission that they arefundamentally theadvocates, defenders and promoters ofAmerican Slavery, the public interestswould he better served if they and wecould consent to seek for and adopt thedesignations which describe at once theirbelief and ours and the diftcreuce betweenthe two—they the Pro-Slavery party, andwe the Emancipationists. We are contentwith that party name; will they accepttheirs?

, Eg-When theseceshpaperheraldedthetmket’speace proposals to an astonishedworld,it endorsed theirgenuinenessin thesewords: “We have not a shadow of doubtof the perfectand entire truthfulness ofthestatement. This confidence is inspired bynumerous interviews with Mr. Greene andby numerous testimonials as to his charac-ter!' We have been at some pains to fur-nish additional “ testimonials as to hischaracter,” for the purpose of deepeningits “inspiration of confidence,” and trustwehare succeeded.

When Porter reached thescene of operations after slow marches withhis column of 25,000 fresh troops, he refusedto light. "When orderedto fall on the rebelleft wingand crash it, he obeyed by fillinghack to the rear andretreating totheintrench-mentsat Washington.

A. Dcmocralic Blessed Martyr.. The following telegram illustrates the vir-tuesofone of the Democratic martyrs whohave suffered incarceration in the “AmericanBastilcs,” and whose wrongs and sufferingsare expected to he the seed ofa great crop ofDemocracy. The dispatch was scut to theFredericksburg secessionists, by MarshalKane of Baltimore, when all conneetion be-tween the loyal States and the national capi-tal hadbeen cut off by the treachery at Balti-mom and when national soldiers, hasteningto the relief of the capital,had been murderedin theStreets;

The Kcgrocs atPort Boyol.The Rev. H. S. "Wayland, Chaplainof the

7th Connecticntreghnent,delivered anaddressat "Worcester, Mass., on Sundayeveningweek,on the condition of the Deportment of theSouth, and the objects which have been ac-complishedby the occupation of Port Royaland the adjacent country. He said he hadbeen connected with that Department formore than a year, having sailed thence withCommodore Dupont. He said that ho wasrejoiced, to state that no slavehadbeen re-turned to bondage there to any claimant,whether loyal or disloyal. Itwas theopinionof Gen. Mitchell that the islandsalong thecoast could easily accommodate a half mil-lion of people, and that it was clearly thewisest policy for the government tolet theslaves work the plantations on those islands.There arc nowabout 10,000 liberatedslaves inthat Department, and their conditionis con-tinually improving. Instead ofbeing an ex-pense to the government, theyare self-sup:porting, and have maderapid progress in civ-ilization since they have received payment fortheirlabor.

The Sights of War.The following extract from a letter of

Washington to Gov. Trumhnll, written No-vember, 1775, shows the views entertainedoftheproperwayof dealing with traitors in atime ofpublic danger;

As it is now very apparent that we havenothing to depend upon inthe present contestbut our own strength, care, firmness andunion, should not the same measures beadopted in yourand every other governmenton the continent?

Col.McHenry’s Bismissal.In our opinion, the act of the "War Depart-ment, in dismissing Col. McHenry from theservice, is as unlawful as it Is unjust, and ire.deem itcruelly unjust. * * * Althoughve do not nowremember the exact terms Vhis “offending order,' 1 we hare a very dearanddistinct impression that the orderdid notrequire “his soldiers to return fugitiveslaves,” for wecompared it with the new arti-cleofwar at the time, and, as we well re-member, were satisfied that on a fair con-struction the two did notat ;dl conflict.

the IWth mm?ol3 a>*d a correction.lam happy to make a correction of a mis-statement whichI gavein my account of theaffitlr at Hartsville, forwarded to you yester-daj morning. It appears fromlater accountswhich havebeen received from Gen. Thomas,that the 104th, Col. Moore, foughtwith greatbraver}', and only surrendered when theywere surrounded and the supports refus-ed toaid them. Col. Moore is reported tohavebehaved withgallantry and' braveiy, andtohave fought his regimentwell But at thesame timeitis admitted that he was carelessinallowinghimselfto be surprisedandtaken*After relieving the cavalry the 104th becameengaged desperately, and held their positionfora long timeagainst superior numbers. Itwas impossible toget the other regiments upto its assistance.

Thekilled all belonged to the 2d Indianacavalry and the 104thIllinois infmtiy. Ofthelatter I learn that eighty-seven yrere hurled.I am led tohope thatI shallbeable to makea correctionof thisnumber whichshall lessenit, but my authority is that ofofficial dbrpatches.

By the reflections I gave vent to in myformerletter Iincluded Col. Moore, though Idid not name him. I have not seen ColMoore or any of the 104th regiment,but from,all I can learn Col. Moore is not deservingofthe condemnatory remarks Ihave made. Theofficial reports of theafiair exempt CoVMoore from thecharges of cowardice whichhave been made, but reflect upon him for hiscarelessnessiu allowing the force to be sur-prised.

It is gratifying to know that this regimentbehaved well. The Ohio regiments certainlybehavedvery badly, and no excase is offeredfor their conduct. The Surgeons even fledwith flight, and the entire two regiments re-fused to light, but huddledtogether iu camplike Brightened deer.

XVimttheirobject is I cannot conceive. I am occa-sionallyshown such lettersfromotherpartsofthe Stale, but the thing has become so com-mon that I have ceased to be surprised attheir receipt. But the fact that the fears ofthe loyal public in these places are excitedshows what injury such papers do.

Thelo4th Illinois regiment was in the bat-tle of Hartsville yesterday, and suffered ter-ribly. I give youall the particulars as farasIhave learned them.

That with two Ohio regiments, were at-tacked early yesterdaymorning by a superiorforce of the enemy. The Ohio regimentsgavewayearly in the action, thus leaving the gal-lantlo4thtpfight two regiments oilnftmtrrand three of cavalry, with five pieces of ar-tillery—Col. Moore having but two pieces ofariilleiy. CoL Moore was In commandofthebrigade,

X cannotgive a list of the killed, but thecarnage was dreadful—over fifty from thisregimenthave heen buried,and partial namesomy have been obtained. (I havenot vet gotihc list.) “

The conduct of the men and officers isworthy of theh jghest praise. Col. Mooreiswounded in the breast, and I cannot learnthat he is seriouslywounded, though he is aprisoner, which would seem to indicate thathe was not seriously wounded. The menfoughtuntil completely overwhelmedby su-periornumbers. The battle lasted one hour,and the slaughter in the rebel ranks was ter-rific—24s killed and wounded.

The entire regiment was killed, capturedorwounded, with the exceptionof CompanyA,Captain Leighton. That companywas “Tro-vost Guard ’ln the town of Hartsville, audescaped, as Ihave been hfformed.I have obtained the following list of thekilled, since writingtheabove:Geo. Stinger, Co. B; H. B.

Washington, Dec. i 2, ts69The admission of WestVirginia, as a State,so far as Congrcss can do it, ishailed by most

radical Republicans as another means towardthesuppressionof the rebellion and the estab-lishment of a new Union upon the basis offreedom. The new commonwealthwill be atonce in spirit, and in a very few years in fact,a free State. Its representatives rejoiced yes-terdayover this circumstance as heartily asLovejoy orSumnercouldhave done. SenatorWilley has said that no man conld'bc sent tothe Senateto represent the newState whowasless anti-slavery than himself—certainly notCarldo, nor any of his tribe. The vote in theHunr-c will show the West Virginians whotljcir true friends are, and will draw them stillnearer to the Republican party. It is such tri-umphs as that in West Virginia, as that inMissouri, andas those foreshadowed in Ken-tucky and Tennessee, ns sure to come beforemany months, through the efforts of suchmen as Holt, Casey, Johnson, Clements andMaynard, that reconcile us to defeats at the•ballot box in those free Stales, of whichthe soldierswere notallowed to vote and givepromise of the future. ®

It is evident tlatno steps will be taken byCongress toward the carryingout of thePre<l-denvs recommendation for theamendment ofthe Constitution, at least until alter the firstol January. After the proclamation due onthat ds«y shall have been issued, and the dis-tricts witxiin which freedomIs declared underthe warpower, shall have been definitelyde-termined. itwill be time enoughto make pro-yiMon for the gradual enfranchisement of theloyal and semi-loyalSlatesand parts of Statesand for compensation to the few loyal slave-holders. It will be time enough toact. whoaall the facts and all the conditions underwhich action must be taken arcknown. Idonot think that Congressisanxious to domorethan justice to the master; it would certainlyprefer keep the hands of every master whosegarments Lave the slighteststain of treasonupon diem, outome national Treasury. Thepractical working of the law emancipation:the slaves in the District of Columbiais awarning That law contemplated remunera-tum to the loyal masters alone: but who bc-licv es that o.ltiO slaves, ora thirdof that num-ber, were the property of loyal owners here,when the law went into effect? Yet 3 100slaves are tohepaid for.The exemption by thePresident of Mr Se-tter s district from the operation of theproc-inmnrion of freedom, was inevitable under theclause of thatproclamationdeclaring that dis-tricts represented In Congress ou the Ist ofJanuary should be exempt. The House ofRepresentatives, by admitting Segarto a seatat tlu;last session, determined that Ins dis-trict isrepresented; and the Presidenthas noright togo behind that action. Much loss totv.e grat ideation of his friendsis the course ofMr.Lincolnin writingletters tovariouspointsm the slave Stales, almostbegging the friends®Vhc Jwon to choose members of Congressbefore the fatal New Tear’s day, proceedingin so doing, as he is reported to have said toMr.Bouligny of New Orleans—“as closely inconformitywith the law as convenient ” Af-ter all, however, but little can be effected bv.these communications, since thevreacha com-paratively smallportion of the slave territoryand since, when slavery shall have been de-stroyed in the residue, they cannot remainlongmttoe isolated condition in. which thevwould thus be left. “When freedom is an-nounced as thelaw of the laud in the rest ofLouisiana and Mississippi, it will be vain toproclaim the continuance of slavery iuNewOrleans and ui Ship Island.

Those who anticipate great results immedi-ately upon the arrival of Gen. Banks at hisdestination, will dowell tobear in mind thatIns forces arc almost entirely composed ofnine mouths’ men, who have seen no serviceon the battle field, Jhid very little ou the par-ade ground, and that u sell voyage tends todemoralize thebest troops.Xu conversation on this subject, no laterago than yesterday, says the correspondent ofa newspaper, Secretary Chase is understoodto have said thathe had protested most earn-estly against the destination which had beendecided upon for Banks’ expedition. Nonewho know Cor. Chase can doubt that he pro-tested on theground that it wasn’t good pol-icy to take a sea voyage of a thousand milesto hunt the rebels, when their largest arm'usJnyjnaghtofour pickets on the Rappahan-nock. Similar opinions with regard to thedestination are knownto prevail iu olherwellinformed quarters.

Nothing but politi-cal troubles and complicationscan prevent it.Its numerous outlets by railroad and water-give it a most commanding positlon—a posi-

tion which will improve and strengthen yearby year. Shiny of the most wealthy men inthe country are now making, there, largemoney investments in almost eveiy conceiva-ble form, such as niauufecturing establish-ments, city railroads, improvements of realestate, bankinginstitutionsloanson bondandmortgage, etc..

Chicago isalready the largest grain marketin the world. The aggregate shipments ofcorn and wheat fromthat cityare in amountalmost incredible. Eveiy railroad leadingtoandfioni it arc loadedand crowdedwith pro-duce—enough, one wouldthink,after a week'sObservation, to supply the world. Chicago isalso a great lumber market—really the head-quarters of thatline of traffic on this conti-nent. The pork trade is also immense—firexceeding that ofany other locality, not ex-cepting the great squealing city—Cincinnati.

One of the causes,If not the cause, ofthispresent almost unparalleled prosperity, is theadvent in that quarter ofa. good currency.The West, ton.man, almost, now goes strongforgovermnent“greenbacks.” “Give ussucha currency,” they say, “andwe will soon showat the East what prosperity Is.”Thusthe war, in spite of its entanglementsand losses, mayprove, iu reality, agreatbless-irg.
