Washington, ID. c., October, 1861.
COUNTRYWOMEN-l the extraordinary
enlargement of the whole structure of our
National Government, which has this year
been forced upon us, the wants of the sick
and wounded of the Army and Navy can
not at once be fully provided for by the
ordinary means.
Whatever aid is to be given from with
out, must, nevertheless, to be effective, be
administered Systematically, and in perfect
subordination to the general system of ad
ministration of the government To hold
its agents in any degree responsible for
the duties with which they are charged,
government must protect them from the
interference of irresponsible persons.
Hence, an intermediate agency becomes
necessary, which, without taking any of
the duties of the regular agents of govern
ment out Of their hands, can, nevertheless,
offer to them means of administering to
the wants of the sick and wounded much
beyond what could be obtained within the
arbitrary limits Of supply established by
government, and in strict accordance with
the regulations necessary for maintaining
proper accountability to it.
ne sanitary CouullSSIoH, Il VOIuHUecT
and unpaid bureau Of the War Depart
ment, constitutes such an agency.
The Sanitary Commission has estab-
lished its right to your confidence. The
President, the Secretary of War, General
Scott and General Mcclellan have each
recently acknowledged, in the warmest
terms, the advantages which have already
resulted from its labors, and the discretion
and skill with which they have been dl-
rected. Its advice has been freely taken,
and, in several important particulars, acted
upon, favorably to the health of the army,
by the government. There has scarcely
been a company of volunteers in the field,
with regard to which some special defect,
error or negligence, endangering health,
has not been pointed out by its agents,
and its removal or abatement Effected
There has not been a single instance in
whichsits services or advice, offered thro'
all its various agencies, have been re-
pulsed not single complaint has been

The Song of HI q tr e d .
TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN.

Yes Freedoms war tho the deadly strife
Make earth one charnel bone-yard
The last kiss now to the child and wife,
And the first firm grasp of the poniardi
Blood soon shall run in rivers above
TIE bright flowers we to-day tread;
We have all had more than enough of love,
So now for a spell of Hatred!
We have al! had more than enough of love,
So now for spell of Hatredl
How long shall the hideous ogre, Power,
Rear column of skulls on column?
Oh, Justice hasten the judgment-hour,
And open thy doomsday volume!
No more oiled speech lit is time the drove
OF despots should hear their fate read
We have all had quite enough of love-
Be our watchword henceforth Hatred
We have al! had quite enough of love
Be our watchword henceforth Hatred
Cold steell To that it must come at length,
Nor quake to hear it spoken
BY the blows alone we strike in our strength
Can the chains of the world be broken
Up, then No more in city or grove
Let Slavery and Dismay tread =
We have all had more than enough of love,
Let US now fall back upon Hatred
We have all had more than enough of love,
Let US now fall back upon Hatredl
Ny friends the tremendous time at hand
Will show itself truly in earnestl
Do you the like!-and take your stand
Where its aspect frowns the sternest!
Strive now as Tell and Korner strovel
Be your sharp swords early and late red
You have all had more than enough of love
Test now the talisman, Hatred !
You have all had more than enough of love
Test now the talisman, Hatred

The following order was issued BY Major
General Mcclellan, on assuming the com
mand of the armies of the United States.
HEADQUARTERS oE THE ARMY.
Washington, ID. c., Nov.
General Order, No. 19.-In accordance
with general order, No "a, from the War
Department, | hereby assume command of
the armies Of the United States.
la the midst of the difficulties which
encompass and divide the nation, hesita-
ton and self-distrust may well accompany
the assumption of so vast a responsibility:
but confidlng, as [ do, in the loyalty, dis
clplIne and courage of our troops, and be-
llevlng, as do, that Providence will favor
ours as the just cause, L cannot doubt that
success will crown our efforts and our sac
rifces
The army will unite with me in the
feeling OF regret that the weight of many
years, and the effect Of increasing infrmi-
ties, contracted and intensified in his
country's service, should just now remove
from our head the great soldier of our
nation. The hero who, in his youth.
raised high the reputation of his country
IN the fields of Canada, which he sancti-
fed with his blood, who, in more mature
years proved to the world that American
skill and valor could repeat, if not eclipse,
the exploits of Cortez in the land of the
Montezumas-whose whole life has been
devoted to the service of his country,
whose whole efforts have been directed to
uphold our honor at the smallest sacrifice
of life
a warrior who scorned the glories of
the battlefield, when his great qualities
as statesman could be employed more
proftably for his country A citizen
whose declining years has given to the
world most shining instances of LOYALTY in
disregardlng all ties of birth, and clings
still to the cause of truth and honor
Such has been the career-such the char
acter of Winfield Scott-whom it has long
been the delight OF the nation to honor,
both as man and soldier.
While we regret his loss there is one
thing we cannot regret, the bright exam
pie he has left for our emulation. Let us
all hope and pray that his declining years
may be passed in peace and happiness,
and that they may be cheered by the sue
cess OF the country and the cause he has
fought for and loved so well.
Beyond all this, let us do nothing that
can cause him to blush for u.s. Let no
defeat OF the army he has Sc long com
manded embitter his last years, but let our
victories illuminate the close of life so

correspondent of the New York Times
says
"In meeting the army wagons 1 was
struck with the superiority of the teams
brought on by the Massachusetts, regiments
over those supplied by the Government.
The former were fat, strong, handsome
animals, the driver sitting in his seat with
the four in hand ike an old fashioned
stage driver The latter seem ill-cared
for, and are urged along by the driver,
who sits on one of the wheel-horses.-
Massachusetts has finished way of doing
up things, from the arrangement of
farm house to the equipage of an army"

E. Burton, which we have never seen In
print. While travelling on a steamboat
down the Hudson, he seated himself at the
table and called for some beefsteak. The
waiter furnished him with small strip of
the article, such as travellers are usually

turning it over and examining it with one
of his peculiar serious looks, the comedian
coolly remarked, "Yes, that's it; bring me

Day by day the circle narrows. The actual outbreak
of hostes upon vast scale cannot long be postponed
and we may as we'll make up our minds for it. The
seat of the main hosttes for the time will be most
likely in Virginia, and Virginia must be sustained but
these hostities will not be exclusively confined to Vr
GINA. The coast of North Carolina will be threatened
We believe it to be part of the Lincoln programme
We have reason to believe that the threat be turned
into serious invasion may be expected at any time
1t will be only fent perhaps, if all is in readiness to
ceive the invaders 1t may be real attack in force if
they find US uDprepared.
AS we remarked once before it would be folly in the
face of an enemy who has command of the sea- for to
denude the sea-coast defences of North Carolina We
want at least four thousand men for that purpose We
want field guns ready to move to any point to repe any
attempted landing in boats
We have to believe that the vessels with ten
ders and troops for the Southern coast are now under
orders. Where the blow may fall is not known. IT
will be on the weakest point we may be sure

More than half the customs revenue of the Empire of
France is derived from tobacco which is there gov
eminent monopoly, while in England the duties upon
tobacco yield annual revenue nearly equivalent to
one-fourh of the whole revenue from customs Great
Britain collects twenty millions of dollars year
from the tex on tobacco alone
1t strikes that England and France have lit
tie interest in the difficulties pending involving, as
the course of the Lincoln government does, much
the revenue of their governments, and much of the
employment of their people. Tobacco with the English
and French is still the Virginia weed" and it may
we'll be questioned whether the blockade which prevents
the export of Virginia and North Carolina tobacco
will not be felt seriously and resented strongly
