The Entente Oordiaie between Chase
and Halleck-The Army Movements
WAsHINoroN, Nov. 81, 1862.
clip the following item from the CORES.
pondent Of the N Y. Daily Times Of Nov. 20th;
"sEcRETARY chase AND GEN. HALLEck.
"The new entente eOrdials said to have recently
sprung up between Secretary Chase and Gen
Hslleck, gives sincere satisfaction to the friends
Of both gentlemen"
The English Of this is, that Gen. Hallech
has given himself over to the Radical Abolition
faction.
An important part Of the Radical programms
has always consisted In persistent and cunning
efforts to corrupt the leading Generals of oul
army Now and then they have found one
weak enough to accept the alliance, and thu
aid in sacrificing the cause OF the Union and
the Constitution for the med and imprscticablt
schemes Of the Abolition faction.
Especial efforts have been made by botl
Chase and Stanton to secure the alliance ant
cooperation of Halleck In their work Of psr.i
san hate against Conservatism and Democracy
as well as against all officers and civilians who
prefer the Union, the Constitution and the Laws
Of the land to the present Abolition dynasty.
One of the most disastrous effects Of this un
holy alliance was the deposition of Gen. Mo
Clellan. By this deposition of great Genera
sohen in sight Of The enemy, and upon the eps of fth,
most important battle Of the uaT, the political and
private hatred and revenge of the parties con
cerned In the plot have been gratiied. But the
future will soon speak In thunder tones, ant
the machiustion and malice Of these ferociouI
and coWardly Jacobins will be exposed to th,
world. Then, will these men, and their Abo
lltion allies meet their doom at the hands of ar
indignant people. Then will they behold The
sel6shness, and the incompetenoy which now
obtains at Washington.
General Halleck was formerly Captain OF
U. 8. Engineers, and was esteemed among army
officers, not as man of superior ability. He
has never been In battle In hls life, and ID
ignorant Of ell practical rules of military
duties.
Beauregard escaped from him at Corinth and
BY his order General McClellan's army was
withdrawn from the Peninsula, thus allowing
the rebels to precipitsts their entire army upon
Washington, Maryland and Peunsylvania; bis
placing over bis head tina. gerry fat General,
Pope. and thereby nearly losing us Washington.
The strategy Of this man has oulminated, with
the aid Of Stanton and Chase, In deposing bis
rival second time, at the moment he was in
the act Of throtling the enemy. If the army ia
q third time defeated, which God forbid, and
the nation Ia again reduced to tile brink Of ruin
the public will awake in earnest to the vlllainy
and incompetenoy Of these plotters at Wash.

Gen. Halleck has compiled from several Eng.

tsry Law" q volume; and this simple eompIla.
tion 10 the only thing which entities him to any
credit a. q military man.
10 conclusion We hazard q prediction: A
cabal with the Secretaries of War and State,
and General Halleok ct its head, and Wilson,
Sumner, Wade. Wsdsworth, Chandler, Pet.
Halstesd and George Wilkes at lite tail, forced
the Army Of the Potomac 10 retire from the
Peninsula, in order TO carry out the Abolition
policy Of marching the same army one hundred
and fifty miles over land, to reach the same des.
tllation again!!
Now We predict that THE came cabAl will
be forced to abandon their insane and imprac-
ticsble Idea, and again approach Richmond In
General McClellsn's original mode, viz, by
the way of the Peninsula with one part of the
army, and BY the way Of Fredericksburg with
the other part! This will be bitter pill for
the conspirstoFs at Washington TO swallow,
after the disasser resulting from their gigantic
blunders, but the necessity knows no law.
