Gen. Premtiss' Serenaded-The PreSi-
dents Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Gen. Prentlss to-
night was complimented with a serenade. lie
graphically described the scenes through
which he and his fellow soldiers, taken prison.
ers at Shiloh, passed in the land OF Dixie.
He said he had cause to use harsh language
when speaking of the demons of the south,
whose conduct towards our troops was char
acteristic of murder and barbarity. Colonel
Jordan, assistant adjutant general to Beaure
gard, was the only rebel from they received
the least particle of courtesy. So help him,
heaven, those who prosecuted his comrades
should never escape retaliation in full at his
hands. The negroes are the best union men
in the south. ''This is what you are fighting
for said voice in the crowd. eyes" re-
piled Prentiss, ''for the freedom of every man
on earth"
OF the returning Shiloh prisoners there
were not fifty with sufficient clothing to COM
pletely cover their nakedness. Nothing in
the way of garments was furnished them by
rebels; besides, they were supplied with the
most disgusting food. After fully describing
the unkind and offensive treatment they re-
ceived, he inquired of his many listeners, in
Guiding ladies, what they now thought of this
boastful chivalry The people of the south
are determined There is a perfect reign of
terror, and every sentiment for peace or com
promise is instantly stitied He said he found
Union men there bearing arms against our
government, but they were compelled to do
so at the bidding of their masters. The white
race in the south are in worse condition
than were the blacks before the war began.
The rebel government has more men in arms
than the north thinks it has. They fight well.
Their cause is desperate. They do not ask
for transportation and comfortable supplies.
They are compelled to take the field, with or
without.
1t is time we should go to work without
gloves. We punished them more at Antie
tam than many of us suppose. The prisoners
had opportunities of seeing large numb, RS of
wounded, who were carried south on trains,
besides stragglers. As to the Libby prison it
was palace compared to the ones in which
they were confined. Combs were scarce and
small guards plenty. Gen. Prentiss hoped
there would be no halting until we crushed
the rebellion. Hang the leaders, and grant
amnesty to the deluded victims of JEFF Davis.
Some one in the crowd asked: ''What do
they think of Lincoln's emancipation procla-
mation?" He replied ''Many of the rebel
officers with whom he conversed blasphemous-
ly condemned it, saying it was damnabe and
never could be enforced, but he (Prentiss) re-
sponded to them: If you say the Union can
never be reconstructed, and that you are
bound to whip us, what harm can the procla-
nation do your" He would declare every
where that the proclamation would do more to
end the rebellion than all the battles fought.
He was applauded throughout his remarks.
Col Mulligan and others also addressed the
crowd.

From WashinStOn.


WASHINGTON, Oct. l7.-Accounts received
from other than newspaper sources show that
since the battle of Antietam there is less dis
position in Europe than previously to recog-
nize the southern c0nfederacy, and that the
result of that engagement, SO far as the gov
eminent of the United States is concerned,
has decidedly had a beneficial influence.
Military indications and privately-known
facts are entirely at variance with the current
reports that the army of the Potomac is pre-
pairing to go into winter quarters.
The agricultural department has received
gratifying intelligence from various sections
of the country, of the success attending the
culture of cotton. Those from southern Hi
nois are especially encouraging.
Secretary Chase has been detained at home
for a week past, by physical infrmity, but to-
day he attended a cabinet meeting, and also
resumes the transaction of business at the
treasury department.
The department of the Tennessee will in
clude Cairo, fort Henry, fort Donelson, and
northern Mississippi, and portions of Kentucky
and Tennessee west of the Tennessee river,
and, according to the official order Just re-
sued, Maj. Gen. Grant is assigned to the COM
mand of the department.
Seventeen field officers, including Generals
Prentiss and Crittenden and two hundred line
officers recently released prisoners of war
from the south, have been granted leave of
absence for thirty days. Brig Gen. Rufus
King has returned to Washington from his
sick leave of absence, and has been ordered to
report to Gen. Mcclellan for duty.
Capt. C. w. Wadsworth, additional aid-de-
camp to Gen. Fremont, has been ordered to
report for duty to Gen. Reynolds. Col. Jo-
seph D. Webster, chief OF staff to General
Grant, has leave of absence for twenty days,
to enable him to report on the subject OF a
ship canal from the Mississippi river to Lake
Michigan.
Lieutenant commander Semmes has been
detached from the steamer Wamsutta, and or
dered to relieve commander Howell of the
Tahona. The former will return north. Act
ing master Gray has been detached from the
Massachusetts, and ordered to report to rear
admiral Dupont for the command of the
Wamsutta.
James G. Orr of Wheeling has been APP
pointed collector, and John Parkinson of Mar
Shall assessor, for the first district of Virginia,
and G.. A. Leonard of Parkersburg assessor of
the 22d district of that state.

line of duty by sedulously stunning all pohtl-
cal association with those more jealous III
getting up warfare against the government
than in sustaining it in a crisis IKE the pres
ent. That our rulers have committed no err
rors in the awfully responsible duties they
have been compelled to assume by the wick
cdnpss of the revolt we shall not pretend to
say: but that they have in the man done their
duty. and deserved thereby the thanks Of all
good citizens, we are ready TO affirm and to
prove on all proper occasions.
We have only to glance over the proceed
inps of the opposition meeting held at the
Cooper Institute, in New York, the other
night, to find in its organization essentially
the same mischievous elements which distin-
guished another at the same place some sew
eral months ago. All know too well the pro-
clivities of Fernando Wood, and those asso-
ciated with him, shown from the very incep-
ton of our difficulties; and there is, therefore
no more difficulty in stunning disloyal associ-
ations. where such names are in the pro-
gramme, than there would be in avoiding affil-
iati0n with their allies at Richmond. Their
very talk about compromise" and ''convcn-
tons" betwiXt the traitors of the south and the
loyal men who are fighting in the cause of
free government and humanity, is a deadly
insult to all loyalty; for it is compromise"
contemplated with crime, with MURDER treach-
cry, robbery, unparalleled almost in the history
of the world
Let treason take the consequences of its
acts; let viainy receive its appropriate re-
ward; and if there are those who would shield
it for their own ambitious purposes, who
would patch up IA wretched truce, 'restora-
ton" the result of which would be merely to
give chance to prepare for JLoodier and
more successful programme tucO or three gears
hence, or the first time thereafter when they
might be disappointed in their designs on the
presidency, we are not with them; and we
shall never cease to condemn and denounce
them as they deserve
The Breckenridge democracy are already
responsible for woes enough inflicted upon the
country, and they might well, after what has
happened, hide their heads forever from the
scorn and Indignation of suffering people.
Maryland and the other border states appre-
ciate them, even if the people Of the Empire
state do not and as against them and their
deviEsh acts, Maryland will stand by the gov
ernment they would now compromise, and
this to the bitter end. And what is more, we
believe the people, as a whole, of the other
loyal states will do so too. Public attention
is aroused by the perils of the hour, and can
not be compromised and deceived by the uSu-
al shallow arts of heartlesS traitors and dema-
gogues. The federal executive and those
around him have done their duty in way TO
deserve the gratitude of all loyal men, and the
country will not consent to the inauguration
OF a new war upon him in addition to that al
ready tiercey waged by band of as vile trai-
tors as ever challenged the condemnation of
the world.

FORTRESS MONROE, Oct. 16.-'The mail
steamer Louisiana, from Baltimore this morn

able to achieve success. They leave on the
steamboat Commodore this evening for
Aiken's Landing.
The gunners at the water battery have been
exercising the guns and trying the range at
Blackwater river.
There are rumors of an engagement beyond

The Drafting in Pennsylvania.

HARRISBURG, Oct. 17.-Gov. Curtin, upon
application to the war department to-day, has
been authorized to permit drafted militia to
become volunteers by changing their term of
service from nine months to three years
This will doubtless result in the conversion oil
many drafted militia into volunteers for three
years The draft passed off yesterday in ev-
cry county of the state except Philadelphia,
and produced, so far as heard from, no undue
excitement. Six hundred and ninety men
were drafted in this county.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 17.-In Lancaster
county the republican majority on the state
ticket is 1889. In the fourteenth district,
Miller (dem.) has $50 majority.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 17.-At meeting of
the return judges to-day, considerable excite
ment was created by an attempt to prevent the
counting of the vote in the Sd congressional
district, but on the issue of a writ of manda~
mus by Judge Thompson, the vote was count
ed, and Leonard Myers, republican, was de-
clared elected by 80 majority.

TO THE WORCESTER DAILY SPY.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,
Oct. II, p. M Yesterday morning, wien
Hancock advanced his division to Charles
town, Gen. Woodbury's division crossed the
Potomac at Shepardstown ford, taking the
road leading to Smithfeld, small village
half way between Charlestown and Bunker
Hill. Gen. Woodbury. eneamped last night
between Leetown and Kearneysville, about
seven miles from Smithfield. His troops met
with but slight resistance during the day
from the enemy's mounted pickets. This
morning he advanced his cavalry toward Smith
field, six miles from Bunker Hill where he
met the cavalry belonging to Hancock's di-
vision. Before reaching this point, the enemy
was found to be in very large force. The re-
connoissance here ended, its object being to
ascertain where the main body of the rebel
army was. There is no doubt but that the
rebel generals intend to give battle at or near
their present location. The indications are
that they will not have to wait long before
they again meet the army of the Potomac.

time since Nelson's death.
