McCLELLAN's LAST ORDER.

General Order, No. 163, issued by Gen.
Mcclellan, reflects new honor upon him
as soldier, citizen and a faithful sup
porter of our Republican form Of Gov
ernment He enforces the necessity OF
obedience to the civil government by the
military, and refers allquestions of policy
to the people as the place of final resort.
The tone and letter OF the order are in
direct conflict with the designs of the Abo-
litionists, and the "order" will scarcely
fail to supply new and bitter source Of
offence to that faction who are engaged
with fendish alacrity in destroying the
country, root and branch.

Miscellaneous News.


Matt Ward, who murdered a school
teacher at Louisville, some years ago, was
shot by zguerrillas on his plantation in
Arkansas, on the I'd inst. The rebels
were collecting his negroes to take them
away to work on Notifications in Missis-
sippi He came hurriedly out of his
house to protest, and happening to have
on blue coat, they mistook him for a
Federal soldier and fred upon him, the
ball passing through his hips He was
brought to Helena the same day, but will
probably die.
It is said at Washington that the Gov
ernment is unable to procure horses to
supply the losses in the cavalry regiments
in Mcclellan and Heintzelman's armies.
The Government refuses to pay more than
the regular prices, while as the Treasury
notes depreeiate, the dealers demand in
creased prices. It is stated the position
our cavalry force is thus left in for the
present, makes it practically useless.
Gen Samuel Worthington, of Mason
county, KY, was recently murdered by a
couple of his slaves. 1t appears that the
General was about to ehastise the negroes
for riding couple of his horses all night,
when one of them seized his master while
the other beat his masters brains out with
club. The murdcrers then buried the
body of their victim in corn-feld, whore
it was accidentally discovered a few hours
afterward. The negroes were arrested,
and when the particulars of the murder
became generally known, there was great
excitement, and it was decided, at one time,
to hang the slaves " without judge or ju-
ry;" but better counsels prevailed, and
the murderers are now confined in jail at
Maysyille.
Richard Hawes was on Saturday the
4th instant, inaugurated by the rebels at
frankfort, as Governor of Kentucky
Bragg and Humphrey Marshall were there
and made bitter anti Union speeches,
Kirby Smith was also there. Buckner
was expected but did not come. In the
afternoon the rebels burned the railroad
bridge, whereupon all their infantry lef,

On Sunday the rebels cut one span Of the
bridge to South Frankfort. Soon after
ward Scott's cavalry left.

to publish. We, to the best of our ahili-
ty, have been Union champions whore it
cost something in many ways to be so. and
where it may cost good deal more, Even
now we have a price and heavy one set
upon our head, and there are tens of thou
sands of rebels, some of them right around
us, who would rejoice in an opportunity
of emitting themselves to the reward.
1t is not paramount regard for slavery
as such that has prompted our comments
upon the Presidents proclamation, it is s
paramount regard for the Union, the Con
stitution, and the welfare and prosperity
Of the whole country.

HEADQUARTERS AEMY OF THE PoToMAc,
Camp near Sharpsburg, Md, Oct z.
General Order No. 163.
The attention of the officers and soldiers
of the Army of the Potomac is called to
General Order No. 139, War Department,
Sept "a, 1852, publishing to the army the
army the Presidents Proclamation of
Sept. %, 1862. A proclamation Of such
grave momentto the nation, officially COM
municated to the army, affords to the Gen
eral Commanding an opportunity of defin
ing specifically to the officers and soldiers
under his command, the relation borne by
all l-persons in the military service of the
United States towards the civil authorities
of the Government.
The Constitution cenfdes to the civil
authorities Legislative, Judicial and Ex-
ecutive, the power and duty of making,
expounding and executing the federal
laws. Armed forces are raised and sup
ported simply to sustain the civil author
ities, and are to be held strictly subordi-
nate thereto in all respects. This funda-
mental rule Of our. political system, is
-essentialto to the security of our repubh-
can institutions, and should be thoroughly
understood and observed by every soldier.
The principle upon which, and the objects
for which, armies shall be employed in
suppressing rebellion, must be determined
and declared by the civil authorities, and
the Chief Executive, who is charged with
the administration of the national affairs,
lis the proper aud =only source through
= IL o,.lo 81 %ho
ernment can be made known to the armies
of the nation The discussion by the
officers and soldiers concerning public
measures determined upon and declared by
the government, when carried out beyond
the ordinary temperate and respectful ex-
preston of opinion, tend greatly to ina
pair and destroy the efficiency of the
troops5by substituting the spirit of polit-
ical faction for that firm, steady and earn
est support of the authority Of the Gov
ernment which is the highest duty of the
American soldier.
The remedy for political errors, if any
are committed, is to be found only in the
action of the people at the polls. In
thus calling the attention of this army te
the true relation between the soldiers and
the government, the General Command
ing merely adverts to an evil agains
which it has been thought advisable, dur
T ing our whole history, to guard the armies
of the republic, and in so doing, he viii
not be considered by 1syery right minded
person as casting any reflection on tina
Loyalty and good conduct which has beer
so plainly illustrated upon so many bat
tie fields. In carrying out all measures o
public policy, this army, of course, b.
guided by the same rules of mercy ant
christianity that have everywhere con
trolled its conduct towards the defence

in the use of all legitimate means to sup
press the rebellion, urging the President
to stand by the Constitution, repudiating
the meeting of Governors, and eulogizing
Gen. Mcclellan, sympathizing with the
families of those who have fallen and de-
! asclaring the following principles:
That the province Of the government is
: to save the Union and not to save or de-
!. stroy slavery, that We are opposed alike to
secession aud abolitionism and there can
:. be no permanent Union where these exist;
: we tender our sympathy to the loyal men
in the Border States; that we will make no
nominations, but are willing to unite with
s the conservative men of all parties, that

Incoming frequent within the last eigh
days.
The number of rebel soldiers captured

dence of the st. Louis Democrat has the
following details of the battle at Corinth.,
On the morning of the Sd, our outposts.
were. attacked by the enemy in force, about
six miles northeast of Corinth. Before
nine o'clock the engagement became gem
eral and fierce and sangninary battle was
fougi.s.
Our men under Rosecrans stood up
manfully and fought with great goodness
and bravery, but regiment after regiment
and brigade after brigade poured in upon
us and we were forced slowly backward,
fighting desperately. The rebels pushed
forward with determined obstinacy and
held every foot of advantage ground
They outfanked our inferior force; and
their left was in our rear and we were
Obliged to fall back still further to pre-
vent this movement from being accom-
plished. The enemy were now inside our
breastworks, pushing us backward to-
wards the town, when darkness put an end
to fighting for that day. During the days
fight our loss was heavy but that of the
enemy must have largely exceeded ours
Three pieces of the First Missouri were
captured, after having stood for long hours
before the enemy's FIRE. The men were
consumed by thirst and subdued by con-
slant exertion.
Brig. Gen. Hackleman fell mortally
wounded at the head of his Brigade. The
same evening Gen. Oglesby was shet in
the breast.
About 4 o'clock on the morning Of the
4th the enemy opened briskly on the town
with shot and shell.
Our batteries replied, and for an hour

Harrisburg, Oct. -10-7 P. M.-Goy.
Curtin has Just received the following
dispatch from Col Mcclure:
CAanabersJurg, Oct. 10.-Mercersburg
was occupied by Stuart's rebel cavalry to-
day, and they are now advancing on Cham
bersburg. They took the horses and all
other property they wanted at Mereers-
burg, offering rebel scrip for it. They did
no injury to individuals that have heard
of. The force is estimated at 5000. The
rebels are certainly advancing upon Cham
bersburg. They have cut the Bedford
telegraph wire. -
They are reported as near as St. Thomas,
which is about miles from here. There
is No doubt whatever of their being in
Mercersburg. They will certainly give
us call tonight. We had the rumor at
4 o'clock, but it was not credited. We
can make no resistance, as it would only
exasperats them, and cause wanton de-
struction of property and life.
LATER, 8 P. NJ.
About Is men on horseback have come
into town. They are armed with carbinss
and carry flag of truce. They want to
see the principal men of the town. They
have large force about one mile from
town, and will enter in an hour.
Col. Mcclure and Provost Marshal Kim
NELL have gone two miles from town to
meet the rebel commander. Nothing can
be done except surrender. We look for
the arrival of the whole force in half an
hour. They crossed the Potomac at Han
cock and came over the country to the
Pittsburgh pike. Governor Curtin is now
pushing troops up the valley.
