A Great Army Movement.

But few com prehend the extensive prepara tons necessary to the successful movement of a large army, no matter whether 1t IS an advance or a retrograde change The following, from letter in the Charleston Courier, descriptive o the recent change of position made by the Con- f-derate army on the Potomac, will be found ln- teresting. The letter was written after the retir' ing movement of the forces under General Beau- regard was made, the proprety ot which IS so universally understood in military clrcleS. he writer says:
 It was fully seven o'clock in the evening be- fore the order was promulgated that tarlax Court House must be evacuated, and that at haf-past two 0 clock the army would take plts line of march for Centeryilie. In less than ten minutes alterward, venture to say, there was hardly man, woman or child Tn the moldy old town who knew whether they were standing on their heads or their heels. Houses were turned topsy turvy; lights flashed from every window: wardrobes were emptied in truce; trunks, car petbags aud boxes grew abese with their hastl' ly gathered contents: children were got out of bed and dressed the wives ofoficers flew through the streets to secure the means of transporta- tion, which the haste of the movement prevent ed their husbands from doing; the most exorbl tant sums were paid for broken down horses and wagons and when obtained, humanity and fur niture were piled together in style as miscel- laneous as 1t was amusing; old ladies, pyramlds of bed clothing, squalling children, squeallng pigs, bags of provender, baskets of crocke,rry, servants and their babies, pictures. family relics all were frequently macadamzed into one wagon, presenting to the eys as the novel car goes filed slowly by in the bright mooaligt, g conglomerated lump of personal property, to which May day morning IS not circun stance.
 In the stores with one or two exceptions, the proprietors were packing up and storing their goods in all sorts of vehicles; some were digging holes in their yards and burying what they could not carry, others were hiding tneir valua' bles in out of the way recesses-whie others agaln walked around calmly with their hands in their pockets and avowng their intention to remain at home and trust to Yankee honor. Among the latter class is sister of the martyr Jack son.

The Lincoln Despotism in Canadian Point of View-Its Tyranny and Atroc- ity Masterly Expressed.
From the Quebec Morning Chronicle, Oc


 The writer of the following letter Is man whose standing is a sufficient guarantee of the truth of his statements. Occurrences, personal to himself, will doubtless, be heard of hereafter in official quarters; that IS, if the British Gov ernment have not forgotten how to protect their subjects. The grinding tyranny towards Amer ican men and women, of which he vividly speaks, will remedy itself. It is manifest it cannot last long, for, like ambition, tyranny overleaps itself, and broods armed rebellion.
 QUEBEC, October i, 1851. To oMe Editor ct'dte No,ning Chronicle. SIR: The horrors practiced by the Lincoln Government upon the people ofthat once beauti- ful and refined city of Baltimore, have earned for 1t the name of the Warsaw of America. At this moment the most honored and talented men of Maryland are pining in the fortress cells oi this city deprived ofthe commonest requisites of the humblest condition that the meanest felon IS free from; seven and eight gentlemen forced in to cell without bedding, blankets, water to wash or changes of linen from weeks end to weeks end; and with refinement of cruelty and men tai torture, unknown in any civilized country iu the world, cut off from all intercourse or knowl- edge of their families or of the outer world.
