My last letter to YOU Vas dated
at Harpers Ferry, place which has since
been reduced to one OF minor Importance
in consequence Of the withdrawal Of Maj.
Gen. Banks, column, lower down on the
Potomac, near the mouth of the Monoca-
cy, ard about forty miles from Washing
ton. The object of this was wisely kept
secret, to the no little discomfort of news
mongers. Newspaper correspondents
have been restricted in their old free-and
easy method Of communicating all sorts
Of items, to the discontinue of our army:
Their system of commu heating all sorts
Of items, concerning intended movements
of troops, has given the enemy the ad
vantage Of preparing to meet any contem-
plated attack; thus, at the battle Of Bull
Run, Beauregard was sufficiently fore>
warned to send for Johnston who was
forty miles off, to come and assist in the
battle. The arrival of Johnston, though
late. was sufficiently soon to turn the tide,
resulting in heavy loss TO the Govern.

fore hope, that in the future, the Cabi-
net at Washington. and the mmandfng
officers, will have discretion enough to
cease communicating with irresponsible
scribblers, who have been do
ing our cause more injury than all the
spies which have infested the camps.
We have every reason to believe, that,
since Gen. Mcclellan has assumed the
command of the army Of the lower Poto-
mac, decided improvement has taken
place; considering the demotalized eondi-
Bull Run.
Gen: Nc Ciel an is represented as being i
a man of high moral worth, and is &C
knowledged as a tactician, to be inferior
only to Lieut.. Gen. Scott. Tke Mail al
Sscesh Peace paper, published Id this
place, in its issue of last Friday held
forth the following language: owe shall
have money King to rule over us, whose
whole object will be to ascertain the best
way to wiring from the people their hard
earnings to pay the interest upon this ill.,
mense debt, and the debt itself. And
what is all this for? To make war upon
our brethren of the South; to sustain ar
mics and make generals; enrich army
and to keep the Black Re |
publican party in power. SO that ulti-
mately slavery may be abolished, and |
millions of people ruined and the consti-
tutional liberty of all lost in the vortex OF
a military despotism. 1t makes an a |

the present and forward to the future"
