HARpEn's Ferry, Oct. 26, 6 P. M
A special to the Baltimore American says:
I am happy to be able to inform you that
the advance of tho Army Of the Potomac
commenced this mornins and l have rea-
son to believe that before Tomorrow night
the movement will be general along the
whole line, placing the Potomac in our
rear. x,
At daylight, this morning the cavalry
force of Gen. PIeasonton, with four pieces
of artillery crossed the new pontoon bridge
at Berlin, miles east of Harper's Ferry,
and proceeded direct to lovettsyille,
Loudoun county. At Lovettsville our
cavalry entered about s So'clock in the
morning and the few rebel picksts station
ed there fed before them in the direction
of Lcesburg. The people of the loyal
town, especially the ladies, received our
troops with great enthusiasm and the Stars
and Stripes were thrown out in all partsref
the town. Without stopping, except to
leave pickets and guard, General Pleas
anton moved on in the direction of Water
ford, expecting to reach Leesburg early
in the afternoon.
There was at the last accounts. small
forco Of rebel infantry and cavalry at Lees
burg, and thsro may possibly have been a
fight there.
Shortly after the cavalry advnce had
crossed, Gen. Burnside with his second ar
my corps. commenced crossing at the same
point, and during the whole day the bridge
was constantly under the tread of the ad-
yancing column. They proceeded in light
marching order, though an Immense train
of wagons was waiting to follow them.
1t was the intention Of Gen. Burnside to
rest for the night at Lovettsville and move
forward on Monday mornisg, in what di-
rcction it was not known.

OF our early advance.
We have also tidings from the upper
line of the Potomac showing that active
movements are also on foot there.
The rebels are said to have evacuated
Martinsburg on Saturday.

Wa,. Patterson, Esq, Patterson's Mills:


DEAR SIR: X X x I think the re-
bellion could have been suppressed by the
exercise of Constitutional powers, and the
legitimate force of our national militia,
composed of the free citizens of the Uni
ted States.
There was no "public necessity" for the
suspension of the hoJeas corpus by the
EExecutive-for military arrests-for Stan
ton warrants--uor for the employment OF
martial law in any Of its despotic exhibl
tions.
am opposed to all these emergent
measures. They destroy every guaranty
of freedom, and leave US the subjects OF
military tyranny.
The fear of trip to Fort Layfayette
will not deter me from expressing my
opinions Freedom of speech is asserted
in our charter OF liberty. When it is i'm
paired, all is gone-we have no further
security.
I hope the people will maintain their
rights The ballot-box still remains
though Republican paper has suggested
that public safety requires that the elec-
tive franchise ought to be suspended
Such intimations l regard moral treason
| / will say or do nothing disloyal, but
! will support the Government in all legit-
innate endeavors to suppress the rebellion
and restore to US once more peace anc
union. I will, however, at all times raise
my voice against every violation of the
great principles of our Constitution, ane
in reprobation of any act Of tyranny, mill
tary orcivil.
The "pewcrs that be- shall have m!
obedience and public aid within the wides
range of their Constitutional action, bu
when they exceed that extreme limit,
will express my dissent, and will use III.
elective franchise, SO far as it may avail
to correct the evil and stay any abuse.
Our country is in very unh:ppy state
, and will agree with you fully '.that wise
, and better counsels must prevail bef-re
: happy issue arrives"

Since Sunday the movement OF troops in

the exception of General Summers (now

number is pressing sou.hward on the othor
side of the mountains.
The forces which our reconnosanees
found in the vicinity of Suckers Gap and
Upperville, are probably watching against
an attack on the flank OF the main army,
as it stretches toward Gordonsville. Tn
less Lees retreat is much further advanced
than is probable or possible, it would seem
that General Mcclellan has the power, by
a vigorous forward movement, aided by a
similar advance from Washington, to force
Lee to stop and fight before he gets to
Gordonsville.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 29-The citizens
who were arrested last night at Temper
