psAp The poet Whittier, in published
letter, puts his support of Mr. Sumner
on the following grounds.
Il freely admit that, in times like
these, no man has claim to office on
merely personal or party grounds. But
there are men who specially represent
and embody vital ideas of loyalty and
freedom, and such it is the duty of patri-
otism to support favor the reelection
of Charles Sumner in Massachusetts for
the same reason that / would vote for
the conservative Governor Sprague of
Rhode Island--for the Breckenridge
Democrat, Daniel S. Dickinson, of New
York-for such Douglas Democrats as
Governor Tod, Of Ohio, and McClernand,
of Illinos-or for o. A. Brownson, the
Catholic Democrat of New Jersey--care-
less of what their party names may be,
so long as know them to be loyal and
true, and their services are needed in
this hour of the countrys peril"

n Gag of truce and Is men were sent into
the town to confer with the leading citizens.
Col. Mcclure and the Provost Marshal went
out to meet the Rebel commander and oil
course had no alternative but to surrender
the town at discretion.
The enemy destroyed the depot and ma
chine shops of the railroad. and also such
part OF the rolling stock as had not been re-
moved in time 10 save it from Instruction.
A large quantity of government army cloth
ing in store at that place gave them an op.
portunity to exchange their worn out gar
ments for new uniforms, az the expense OF
the United States. About 500 horses were
also taken.
On Saturday morning the rebels took up
their line OF march for Emmetsburg. Md,
where they encamped on Saturday night
Gen. Mcclellan had foreseen that they would
make an attempt .to return to Virginia by
crossing the Potomac below Harpers Ferry,
and dispatched large force Of cavalry and
artillery to intercept and capture them IL
possible.
Tho conjecture in regard to the rebel move
ment proved to DO correct. From Emmets-
burg they advanced rapidly towards Fred.
.rick. probably with the intention Of des-
troying the large amount OF army stores ut
that place. but hearing Of the force stationed
there. the enemy turned of to the eastward,
and crossing the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road at Newmarket, reached the Potomac
just in time to escape from the Federal cav
airy and artillery under Gen. Pleasanton.
The rebels have thus accomplished dar-
ing excursion along the entire rear Of the
Army OF the Potomac, marching nearly 100
miles. destroying large amount OF proper
ty, obtaining several hundred horses, and es-
capped, so far as is known. without the loss
of "a single man killed, and but five cap
tured.

A special dispatch to the Commercial from

victory was incontestibly one OF the cleaneSt

Rosencranz is boundless. Altogether we
have 1000 prisoners, including nearly 100
officers besides the wounded. About 1000
rebels were killed. Our loss was $50 killed
and 100 wounded. An accurate report is
impossible until the army returns to Corinth.
Ohio had seven regiments and two batteries
in the field. Gen. 0glesby's wound is bet

Position of General Halleok.
The washington correspondent of tho n

The Warrington correspondents Oh tno ~ :
Y. Tribune says:
1--WE are permitted to state, upon the au-
tbority of gentlemen holding intimate per-
sonal relations with Gen. Hslleck, precisely
what position he takes In conversation. with
respect to the principles Of the Presidents
proclamation. Gen. Halleck holds that the
controlling military necessity that We should
DEPRIVE the enemy Of the labor by which his
armies are subssted ia clear and unqualified !;
that indeed it is wholly impossible to sabdue
the rebellion while such an army OF laborers
AZ the slaves Of the South continue to pro-
duce supplies for the fighting army in the
field. Of the three millions and hall OF
slaves, Gen. Halleck computes that at least
two millions are to day practically employed
IN the work Of the rebellion. whose effective
strength is greatly increased by the superior
productiyeness Of the Southern climate and
soil, so greatly that, as is proved by statistics
the labor of girl not more than sixteen
wears of age in the South, produces thirty
per cent more than that OF u thorough field
hand in the North. Taking these facts into
consideration. Gen. Halleck says that, In a
military aspect, he has had no doubt on the
question since the rebellion assumed its pres
ent formidable proportions. and has never
wayered from the belief that If we would
conquer the South. its black labor must be
taken from it. With the question what to
do with the negroes whom the war will leave
upon our hands, Gen. Halleck conceives that
as General.i in. Chief, he has no right to an
opinion, il being matter for the cOnsdera-
ton of the civil authorities but he regards
it a, problem which deserves the most seri.
GUS study OF the best minds Of tho country.
While discussing this branch Of the subject,
Gen. Halleck is accustomed to advert to the
fact that Gen. Butler is now issuing three
rations. and will probably soon be called up
on. IL arrangements now contemplated are
carried into effect, to issue ten rations for the
negroes for every one to his soldiers. Is the
North, asks the General, to feed forever the
whole negro population, or is the thing some
time to end, and il SO, when. and howY'

Con. Mcclellan and the Presidents
Proclamation.

The order Of Gen. Mcclellan to his army,
published in our last weeks issuc,) defining
the relation OF the military to the civil au-
thority, must commend itself to every Impair
tial mind as being Characteristic Of true
soldier. Gen. Mcclellan gives the army to
understand that Ito efforts to march ON to
victory. shall not be frustrated by officers
who desire more to aid secession politicians
in the North, than to overthrow Rebellion
in the South. Such officers are reminded
that reasonable discussions are not to be
tolerated.
But there Is something about this order,
more than is expressed in the sentiment, that
!. is the duty Of Gen. Mcclellan to obey the
commands Of the President. There can be
no doubt but that his heart is in the work !;
that il was not only his duty to obey, but
also that Il was pleasure I, him to do so.
II IL amusing to sec how nicely the oppo-
nents Of the Presidents proclamation, are
attempting to shield Gen. Mcclellan from
all responsibility in the matter Of emancipa-
ton. Their construction Of his order would
deprive il Of all moral force, and render
Gen. Mcclellan an object OF contempt to
every soldier under his command.
But ~ the evidence accumulates, that the
young and gallant leader OF the army Of
tho Potomac, really has an opinion oil
his own about emancipation, and is not u
mere autouaton for the President to operate
upon and that that opinion is decidedly Ia
favor Of the policy Of emancipation as put
forth BY the President, these rebel 'ynpa'
timers, arc eonfounded, and begin to with
hold the praise Of which they have hereto
fore been 30 lavish. They fear that he is in
earnest and means to injurc the rebels; thai
he values the Union more than slavery; that
be 10 determined to seine upon every means
within his reach, 10 overthrow the Rebel
lion.
Perhaps their present suspicion is not be-
cause they love Mcclellan less, bot that they
love the rebels moro. Perhaps they begin
to think that he is not q convenien, tool tC
u.s against the hated "b!aek Republicans
Perhaps they don't think he Is Ct for fatur'
use. Perhaps they mean to give aid an'
comfort 10 the traitors anyhow.
