GEN McCLELLAN's SELECTION OF WINTER
QUARTERs.-A letter from member of the
Rhode Island Second to the Phenix Journal,
contains the following expressive passage, after
describing Gen, Mcclellan, and relating the
pointed compliment paid by him to the regiment
at the close of a review:
just as the General was about to mount his
horse to leave, Col. Wheaton asked him when
we were to return to our old quarters at Camp
Sprague., He modesty replied:
do you know of Place called --, be.
tween Mobile and Richmond!" Il have now
forgotten the name of the place he mentioned
"Yes," replied the Colonel"
"Well, that is the place l intend having your
regiment quartered this winter"
THE EXPORT OF BREADsTUFrs-There are now
about sixty vessels, including many large ships,
loading breadstuffs at this port for the continent
of Europe. These will require about two mil
lions of bushels of grain, or an equivalent in
-four, to affoid them all full cargoes. Two, three
four, and sometimes six vessels, in addition are
taken up daily for the same trade. In the mean.
time the demand from Great Britain has in
creased latterly, and several vessels are taking
full or partial cargoes for her markets. The on
ly danger in this whole business is that supplies
cannot be kept up at this market. and we again
call upon the Canal Commissioners, and the man.
ayers of railways, to spare no efforts to preserve
transportation unimpaired.-[N. Y. World, Oct.

The Cincinnati Commercial suggests to the
President that some modification of the late
proceedings of Col. Harvey Brown, at Pensaco-
Ia, is demanded Col Brown was ordered not
to fire upon the enemy unless he was fred upon.
He has obeyed the letter, but not the spirit of
his orders. He has not bonbarded Gen. Bragg's
forces, but he has burnt the great dry dock and
a rebel privateer, and spiked columbiad mount
ed on shore. This certainly needs a modi6ca-
ton. Why don't Colonel Brown wait for or
