why Gen. RIcClsIlaR Ordered she Re
crossing OF the Potomac at Leesburg.
1t will be remembered that after the de-
feat and death Of Col. Baker, Gen. Banks
Division was hurried up TO Edwards Ferry,
and part of IL sent across into Virginia, but
were subsequently withdrawn. The battle
took place on Monday, the 2lst Of October,
and Banks forces were crossing on the 22d
and 23d, but reorOssed into Maryland, by
order of Gen. Mcclellan, on the 24th. A
correspondent OF the Philadelphia Press
thus gives the reasons why Mcclellan or
dered the retreat:
Our men bivOuaOked on an open stubble
field, (ou the Virginia side,) which bad
been plowed up. The night was very cold,
aud the rain fell constantly, the men bad
no blankets. aud no food other than bard
biscuits and raw bacon. Here we began to
feel the grave and fatal mistake which
arose from want Of transportation. Had
our General possessed the means Of cross
ing the river we could have held the Vir-
ginia shore aud advanced on Leesburg.
There was nothing at the service of General
German but three or four scows, difficult Of
management, the river was rough an1
heady, and the crossing was full of danger
and delay. General Banks bad moved
greater part of bis division up to Edwards
Ferry, and ha dtwenty thousand men ready
and anxious to go over. But at the rate at
which men were sent over Tuesday, it would
have taken four days to make the passage
The blunder was a fearful, and to this en-
terprise fatal one.
Our troops bvUuacked within three miles
Of the London and Hampshire Railroad.
All night long cars were heard running,
pouring in troops from Winchester aud
Manassas. Johnston was bringing bis whole
force up, preparing to make stand at
| Lcesburg whenever we cared to advance.
During Wednesday our forces remained,
but still no progress was made in the trans
portation of troops. On Wednesday night
it became evident that Johnston was at the
head Of a large force.
We could not make an attack without
running The risk Of defeat our communi.
cations were so uncertain and insufficient
that our army could not be supported, and
the great force we had was unavailable. In
consideration Of these things General Nc.
Clellan felt that ii would Le folly to give
the enemy battle, and consequently direc.
ted retreat. At midnight, OF Wednesday,
the retreat commenced, and shortly after
daybreak our forces had all returned to
Maryland.

A FIoHr AT PESsAcOLA.-A Washington
dispatch Of Nov. 26th, In the Union OF
Thursday, sayFi
The Norfolk Day Book has published ad-
vices from Richmond that there ha: been
an engagement at Pensacola. The frlgateS
Niagara and Colorado engaged Fort Mckae,
and The vessels received damages and were
compelled to haul of. Fort Pickens nred
bo. shot, and set the Pensacola Navy Yard
ON fire three times, and entirely destroyed
the town Of Warrington adjacent thereto
This partially confirms the dispatch re-
ceived some days ago, stating that there
had been a fight at Pensacola, and thai
the town was captured by the Federal for
ces. The above statement may be substan'
italy correct; but coming through Virginia
papers, the particulars of the fight would
undoubtedly be given as favorable as pos
sible for the rebel side.

EASTERN NE Ws.

The Union of Thursday and Friday con-
tains telegrapbic news from the East to the
9th inst. The intelligence, however, with
the exception OF the advices from Pensacola,
alluded to 10 another column, is not impOr-
tant. The Richmond Enquirer, of Novem-
ber 22d, announces the removal of 5000
Yankee prisoners to Tuscaloosa, Alabama,
aod Salisbury, North Carolina. The Gov
ernment has advices that the populations OF
Richmond, Savannah, Charleston, Memphis
and New Orleans, are In panic. Families
are preparing to leave when the Yankees
come. A deserter from the rebel camp al
Cenheville reports that there are 6O,0OC
troops near there, supposed to be less than
half the rebel force on the Potomac. Gen
Johnston is 10 command. The troops have
plenty Of provisions, and are tolerably vel
clothed. The Richmond Dispatch state
that there are 5000 Union men in arms il
East Tennessee, under Parson BrOwnlow
aud General Ham, and that they are doing
more mischief than the Yankees in Kentuc
ky. The steamer Fulton has arrived a
New York, from Liverpool, with 10000
stand of arms. There is no intelligenc
from the Naval Expedition which sailed TO
the Gulf some timo since.

NATIONAL LOAN.-The books for SUBJ
scrIptiOns to the National Loan, at San
Francisco and Sacramento, we're closed on
Thursday evening, The amount subscribed
at Sacramento was $7S,35O, exclusive Of
what was paid for back interest. A cODsid-
cradle amount has been subscribed at San
francisco, but we presume much less than
was generally anticipated. There ought to
have been at least half million Of dollars
subscribed in the State during the 6fteen
days the books we're open, but 1t will prob
ably not exceed half that amount.

The Best Railroad Pass.

Nearly three years ago we expressed the
opinion, that IL railroad was ever con-
structed across the Sierra Nevada noun
tains ;, 1t would run through the Henness
Pass; aud we still think this is the most
eligible route for railroad designed 10
connect with the navigable waters of the
Bay. The distance may be little farther
than by some other routes, but it bas the
advantage of passing through the most
thckly populated mining district Of the
State, and the road now being constructed
from Folsom to Auburn can be continued
to the summit of the Henness Pass, on q
grade not to exceed in any place eighty
feet to the m lie.
The S. +. Alta had an article, few days
since, comparing the advantages and dis
advantages of the several routes across the
mountains. OF the Henness Pass route it
says:
Tn the point of way trade, the Henness route
is probably superior to the others, but this adj
vantage is not sufficient to counterbalance the
| greater distance.
In the matter of altitude the Henness Pass
has decided advantage over all the others. An
additional thousand feet of hight at the top OF
a lofty and rugged mountain chain may add
many millions Of dollars to the cost of con-
structing a railroad, which cannot have abrupt
turns or very deep grades. With the hight OF
the mountain increases the danger of total in
terruption of travel by snow, the expense OF
keeping the track clear, the cost of freight, and
the amount of repairs to keep the road in order
In altitude the Henness Pass is 400 feet lower
than the Truckee, 800 feet lower than the
Johnson Pass, and $50 feet lower than the
Big Tree Pass. This is an advantage worth
millions of dollars to the Henness Pass.
In the matter ofgrade, the Henness Pass has
an equal advantage. That Pass is on level
with Washoe Valley; there is so little ascent
going westward through this Pass that the
traveller scarcely knows when he reaches the
summit. There is, at that point, no eastern
"slope" to the Sierra Nevada; no western rim
to the Great Basin. The western slope of the
mountain is more regular and gentle than al
any other place. In October last, an eight
mule team went through the Pass from the west
with load Of seven tuns; six-mule team with
three tuns and half and two horses with a
tun and three-fourths. We have not the figures
for the loads hauled through the other passes
but they are not so large on an average as those
taken through the Henness Pass.

By the letters of Panama correspondents
1t appears that Gwin, Benham, and Brent,
arrested by order of Gen. Sumner, were
transported across the Isthmus against the
protest Of the authorities at that place.
Unless there is some treaty with New
Grenada, authorizing the transportation Of
prisoners over the Panama route, General
Sumner clearly had no right to hold Gwin
and the others in custody on the Isthmus.
Several instances have occurred in which
prisoners were transported across by the
United States officers; but whether by
special permission of the Panama author.
tiles, or by some treaty stipulation, we can
not say.

ACCIDENT TO A TIGHT-RoPE WALKER. On
Thursday afternoon, Chiarlni, tight-rope
walker connected with the MarIinettl
Troupe, at San Francisco, in attempting to
ascend from the ground to the roof OF
Hayes Park Pavilion, with wheelbarrow,
when half way up, lost his balance and fell
receiving injuries that will probably prove
fatal. One arm was broken and his head
andneck shOckingly mutilated. The acci'
dent was witnessed by upwards Of thou
sand people, aud produced intense excite
menl. He fell distance OF fifty or sixty
feet.

HEAVY, FALL OF RAN.-Mr. Ever, OF the
Grass Valley National, who keeps a rain
guage, states that the fall of water during
the heavy storm of last Tuesday night
from half past seven In the evening to nine
O'Clock, in the morning-was 4l2 inches.
This is an unprecedented fall of rain, for
that space of time. The total fall up to last
Thursday, since the rains commenced, is
1892 inches.

The UNION MOVEMENT IN NORTH CARoLI'
MA correspondent Of the New York Tri-
bune, writing from Hatteras Inlet, October
2lst, gives full account Of late Union
Convention ct that place. This Convention,
which was preliminary to the great State
Convention held subsequently, the proceed.
ings OF which have been received by tele.
graph, was composed OF delegates from
Hyde county only, which is one of the
wealthest and most populOus in the State,
aud the proceedings show strong Union
element there. Similar movements were
going on in other counties, through regu-
larly called Conventions, the result Of
which was the State Convention in which
fOrty-6ve counties were represented. The
writer says that the people in the counties
tOrdering on Albemarle and Pamlico
Sounds made extensive arrangements for
holding Union Convention on the goth of
May last, but they were prevented from
carrying out their intentions by the action
of the rebel government in sending troops
from South Carolina and Georgia into those
counties, in time to head off the movement.
