NEw ORLEANs.-Nsw Orleans papers TO Oct

cate, Jacob Bakers paper, draws dismal
picture Of the fruits Of secession. now being
rsapsd BY the once opulent commercial empo.
rum OF the South.

or the growing cane, the National Advocate
says:
Not word do we learn of any grinding for
the new crop. The sugar crop on the coast ID
doomed for this seasoD."
or the tobacco crop the same paper observes
"Our opinion is, that 1t will be much less
than usual, and so very short that very few
hogsheads of the growth Of 1862 will reach our
levee this season, and that tobacco warehous
may be deemed as pro, erty that will not com
mand rent sufficient to meet the city, State and

1t was reported yesterday, that Mr., MILAN
don's overseer had been murdered by the ne.
groes on the plantation. The partio1lars are
said to be, that one of the negroes had misbe
haved, and WAS taken to N. MilIaudOH for chas
tsement, when he became abusive, and the
overseer struck him with his riding " hin
being on horseback at the time, The nsgrn
then seized the overseer by the arm, epdsay
ored To pull him of his horse, and became 40
furious, that the overseer wished to shoot him,
Dut Mr.. Mtllaudon prevented this. An hour
or two afterwards, the Ovf rsesr was found
murdered, with n number Of bullet wounds in
ms head and breast. RumOr adds that the ne .
groes. afterwards all revolied, and that de-.
tachment Of military had to be sent to quslI he
revolt, which was not effected until several OF
them had been killed. But we have not been
a0le TO verify this. Indeed, the whole aooount
depends too much on general report 10 warrant
us 10 vouch for its details.

say, the forces Of the United States have bsen

Hon A. Fl. RIcE.-We are pleased 10 Learn
that this gentleman hss consented to run fol
Congress in the Third Massachusetts District
He is an able man, an experienced merchsn,
And good legislator.
Mr.. Rice is what ID called conservative Re.
publican, but is heartily in favor OF vigorous
prosecution OF the war. No better selection
could have been made, and those people in that
district, who will aatsmpt to make combIna-
tloa against him, will find an up bill business.
He will doub,edly be re.e ected, as be ought TO
be.
This nomination makes it certain, o. We
think, that Massachusetts will return her full
quota OF representatives who thoroughly repu-
diate the miserable policy of making terms
with the rebels upon su b conditions as they
propose; doctrine which is just now being at.
tempted to be foisted upon the North. 1t will

Advance by Cen. Mcclellan,
THE Potomac CROSSED.
GEN. BURNSIDE At LovETTs.
WILLIE.
GEN. PLEAsANTON AT LEEsBURG.
| GENERAL MOVEMENT ANTICIPATED.

HARpER's FERRY, Oct. 26, 6 D. m.-[Special
to the Baltimore american. IL am happy "a
be able 70 inform you, that the advance OF the
Army Of the Potomac commenced this morn
ing, and have reason to believe that before
to morrow night the movement will be general
along the whole line, placing the Potomac In
our rear.
At daylight this morning, the cavalry force
Of Gen. PleasantoD, with four pieces Of artll-
lerx. creased the new pontoon bridge at Ber
lid, Eight miles east Of Harpers Ferry, and
proceeded direct 10 Lovettsville, In Eoudoun
county.
At Lovettsville our cavalry entered about
eight O'Clock 10 the morning, and the few rebel
pickets stationed there fed before them In the
direction of Leesburg. The people Of this
loyal town, especially the ladies, received our
troops With great enthusiasm, and the stars and
stripes were thrown out In all parts Of the
town. Many Of their fugitive husbands and
sons returned with the cavalry, and the dem.
onstration was most earnest and unmistakable.
Without stopping, except 70 leave plokets
and Q guard, General Plessanton moved on In
the direction Of Waterford, expecting 10 reach
at the last accounts, small force OF rebel in
fAntry and cavalry at Leesburg, and there may
possibly have been . fight there, unless they
retreated on heaylpg Of bis approach. :
Shortly alter he cavalry advance had crossed
General Burnside, with bis second army corpe,
commenced crossing ct the same point, and
during the whole day the bridge was constant
ly under the tread Of the advancing column.
They proceeded In light marching order,
though an Immense train Of wagons was wsit-
ing 10 follow them.
It was the intention Of Gen. Burnside to rest
for the night vt Lovettsville and move forward
on Monday morning, in what direction was not
known. The troops were in foe spirits, not
withstanding the bad weather, and cheered
most Justify a. they reached the Virginia shore
The troops on Bolivar Heights are also under
marching orders, and II 10 thought will be 10
motion to morrow. 1t 10 reported that the
enemy have already retired from our front,
~itndrswing their pickets yesterday, apparent
y aware Of our early advance.
We bave also tdings 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.

THE SroRM.--The storm of Sunday and Sun.
day night, was very severe 10 this region.
We may, doubtless, expect to hear Of some
considerable damOge on our coast, aud, posi-
bly,, our blockading feet may suffer somewhat
from the gale.
The upper Potomac is now undoubtedly up
to its usual height at this season Of the year, 80
that, for the present, at least there is no danger
that The rebels will make further raids into
Maryland and Pennsylvania. Our army may
cow move forward, and there are some indica.
tions that it is already doing So
The building Of the war office, now under.
going repairs in the shape Of new roofing, was
completely flooded out. The rooms, halls aud
cellars, were found yesterday in rather sorry
plight.
The relief which the rain has afforded the
denizens Of this city from the dust, which has
been rather troublesome for many weeks past,
is acceptable.

RUMoRs OF CHANGES AMONG THE
GENERALS.

The New York Herald, and other kindred
prints about the country, have got up stories Of
changes among the generals in the field and in
Washington, several times lately. The last
card Of this sort is that Gen. Mcclellan Is to
have Gen. Halleck's place as Commander in
chief, Gen. Halleck to go 10 the Department
Of the West, and Gen. Hooker to have Gen.
McClellau's command in the field. It is hard
ly necessary to say thst this is bogus pro-
gramme.
Gen. Halleck will nosgo to the Department
Of the West, neither will Gen. Mcclellan be
made Commander in. n.chief. Gen. Hooker, O.
he is BY his bravery and soldierly qualities en-.
titled to, will have an important command.
The country will krow where that field lie short.
lyr and all loyal men throughout the land will
rejoice when this great captain comes to ri,
right position.

Our correspondent, who left this State In
July, 1861, and whose Communication upon the
then condition Of affairs there we published q
f,w days ago, writes US again, reiteratiDg his
belief that the Union feeling there Is still con.
siderable. We are not convinced by any Of the
reasons he gives for this belief except 90 far as
the German population Of Western Texas is
concerned.
That there was Union party $50 ealled) In
Texas, before this revolution became fixed
fact, proves nothing. There was such party
In sll the Southern Slater, and In many Of them
this party outvoted their opponents, as In Ten.
ne.see, North Carolina, and Virginia. There is
no reason to suppose that the Unionism Of
Texas, outside of the German population, has
proved any more real, or durable, than in the
States named.
Our correspondent believes that tne nom
farmers and stock raisers Of Texas,
who have no interest In the cnuse Of the war
whose prosperity has been ruiHed by II, and
whose sons are being constantly offered up a.
victims to It, must detire a return 10 the peace
and protection Of the old Union. II that
method Of reasoning Is correct, II is no more
applicable to Texas than to Arkansas and
Georgia. 1t Is, in truth, o method Of reason
ing not to be relied upon anywhere at the
South, the control Of which Is in the hands Of
an olgarchy, and will so remain, until We have
the sense and frmness to destroy the lnstitu-
'ion upon which the power Of that oligarchy
rests. These oligafchs care nothing for the
ruin which this war has brought upon the
masses Of the people, and they will continue
to prosecute It to the bitter end, 90 long as
they are left in possession Of the means BY
which their ascendancy at home 10 maintained.
1t is only alier the planters are stripped Of
their slaves, that the farmers and stock.
raisers' Of Texas will be allowed to express
any opinions Of their own, or that their opin-
ions will have any political importance.
