The Rebel Leaders Invited to Send
Members of Congress to Washing
ton-Ihey refuse to do so and IN
sist on Disunion-A Second En-
bassy Sent to Richmond.
New York, Nov. 1.-THE Tribune
has the following editorially: Eve are
credibly informed that clandestine me-
gotiations have been opened between
certain Democratic leaders in this city
and the head traitors at Richmond
looking to reconstruction on the fol.
lowing basis: The States now in re.
bellion are to elect members of the
present Congress, who are to present
themselves at Washington, and claim
seats in said Congress on or before the
lst OF January next: Second, the
House being SO filed will at once have
a conjoint conservative and rebel ma
jority, who will proceed to notify the
president that the rebel States are all
duly represented in the House that con
sequently his proclamation of freedom
is null and void, and they are fully un-
der the protection of the constitution ;
Third, Congress thus reconstructed, is
to proceed forthwith to repeal all acts
bearing hard upon the traitors of the
last two years, and to pass such others
as may be necessary, to secure perfect
Immunity, and IMMUNITY to them.
Fourth, a convention of the States is
to be called whenever the united con.
sentative, Democratic and rebel
strength is enough to be overwhelming
and is to be pledged beforehand to
make whatever changes in the consti
tuition the slaveholding interests may
deem essential to their own future Sc
curity, and pertinent well being.
These are in substance the conditions
forwarded from this city to Richmond
by the first envoy, but we do not learn
that they were accepted. On the con.
trary we understand they were not
the rebel chiefs still insisting on disun.
ion as the basis for peace, thus abso
lutely closing the door against further
negotiations, and according to our in
fOrmant, second embassy from oul
conservatives is now in Richmond, OIL
is well on its way tbither. Hence we
may expect TO hear further within g
few days.

The Scene of the Late nIassacres.

A writer in the St. Peter Tribune,
who has recently travelled over the
country devastated by the Indians, re-
lates the following:
On Monday, the 9th instant, Mrs.
Boelter and her child about three years
of age, were brought into camp at Vel
low Medicine, having been alone with
her child in the woods for more than
eight weeks, not having seen fire and
having lived and sustained herself on
raw potatoes during that period. She
lost two children by starvation. She
is now, as well as the child, a mere
skeleton, and can speak only just above
a whisper, from extreme weakness. No
conception can figure the vast number
which have been murdered, but i must
far exceed the general estimate by the
public. The foraging party which
brought in Mrs. Boelter, buried seven
ty four bodies, and left unburied
seventeen. 1t is my impression that
nearer 1000 than 1000 have been
massacried. Doubtless hundreds that
have been slain and left upon the sur.
face will never be found, as decompo-
sition is nearly complete, and the prairie
fires now ravaging the whole upper
country will consume what may yet re-
main to identify human body. Hun,
dreds, no doubt, have gone to their long
home, of whom no tidings will ever
reach the ear Of anxious friends and
inquiring relations,

eW Major General Lew Wallace

~ Major General Lew Wallace
has been assigned to the late command
of Gen. Rosecrans at Corinth. This
is another evidence of military reform
that is to take place in the manage
ment of the war. The army is to be
placed in the hands of fighting gene.
rails who believe in hurting the rebels.
While Buell. ruled, Wallace was
snubbed, elbowed aside and deprived
of command. He is now placed
where he can do something. 1t really
looks as if the army was to be enamel
pated from the enslavement Of pro-
slavery generals of the Major Key
school. Their game has been to pro-
crastinate the war, to exhaust the re-
sources of the country and to wear out
the hope and patience Of the people.
They want slavery saved and the oil
garchy restored to power. Not one of
them has struck hearty blow for the
Union since placed in command of its
armies, and never WILL There is no
hope for the salvation of the Republic
save in placing generals at the head of
our troops who really want to crush
the rebels, and who are in favor of the
Presidents proclamation.

senator Chandler.
From the Port Huron Press.

From the Port Huron Press.
The thimble-rigger organs with the
Free Press at their head, in the cam
paign just closed, insisted upon and
distinctly made the issue of that elec-
ton the endorsement or the condem-
nation of Senator Chandler. All their
batteries of abuse were opened upon.
him-falsehoods such as only the Free
Press can manufacture and its echoes
retail, were circulated broadcast over
the State-slanders black and foul were
everywhere heaped upon him by the
secession sympathising press-and this
torrent of Wholesale abuse was so per-
severingly continued as to stagger the
faith of some credulous Republicans in
the soundness of our patriotic Senator.
His slanderers went further than this
so intense was their hatred, that in
order to accomplish his defeat, the once
proud and powerful organization of the
Democracy, they were content to hu-
initiate and degrade, by forcing it to
forswear its name and play second fid-
die to, and support for office men who
hofC OCCD It's iuOot DllICI anu
mined foes-they were willing even to
shake hands and harlot with such a
man as Emmons, who for years they had
charged was an abolitionist of the black
est stripe-to this lowest depth of de-
graduation they have been willing to
descend, with the hope that by SO do
ing they would be enabled to satiate
their hatred and theirvengenace against
Senator Chandler, whose only crime
has been that he has stood lion in the
path of the 'fre in the rear" traitors
who have labored to damn the fair fame
of Michigan for loyalty and patriotism,
in the war now waged for national ex-
istence.
We defy the most bitter and malig-
nant of his enemies to point to a single
&C, in his public or private career, to
Justify the hell engendered malice with
which he has been pursued by the cor
rupt gang who sought to strike him
| down.
Triumphantly have the honest yeo-
many of Michigan stamped with the
halo of their appreciation, the man and
his principles-and as emphaticaly
condemned and repudiated the corrupt
and mercenary slanderers, who were
willing to sacrifice their party and for
swear their principles, to strike down
and destroy man whom they hate for
the very integrity and incorruptibility
for which loyal and patriotic people
applaud and love him.
Let the vipers howl-the People
have taken care of Senator Chandler,
and despite the venom and rage of lis
! saSsssailants, he will again be returned to
the seat in the Senate he has SO vel!
aud worthily filed.

EXERCIS

The ancient Grecians noted for their agili-
ty, strength, and great powers of end rance. The
English women of the present time are celebrated
for their robust and healthy appearance the result
in both instances, of vigorous and healthy exer-
else The Americans, unfortunately, have but lit
tie taste for this method of retaining their ehath
or building up broken constitution; hence the
great prevalence of weak, sickly and delicate men
and women. Hoofand's German Bitters will in a
great measure palliate this want of exercise, by
giving great strength to the digestive organs hence
producing good appetite and vigorous feeling
of body. A moderate degree of exercise, howev-
used in connection with the Bitters, is much bet
ter; the most desperate complaint of Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaint, Nervous Debility, yielding quick
ly to their beneficial influence. All druggists and
dealers in medicines have these bitters for sale at
rs cents per bottle.

The Potomac Army Under Marching Or
ders...Gen. Sumner on an Important
Movement.

The MuatordsciHe and Harper's Fer
ry Prisoners Exchanged.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1e.
A Warrenton correspondent of the
Tribune has the following:
"Gen. Burnside has not disappointed
the army, the Administration or the
people at large. The army of the 20
tomac is again under marching orders.
Gen. Sumner, now commanding two
large corps, is this morning eaa route
for an important point, which, as it
will take two or three days to reach, |
will not name. The rebels of this VII
lage in order to console themselves
upon seeing this great host march
through their streets, are circulating
reports that Jackson has fallen from his
mountain heights upon our rear, and
that we are rapidly fleeing from him.
1t would be queer that two corps
should fly from one, and that in the
direction of Richmond.
Gall that Jackson can now get in our
rear he is welcome to have. Gen. Lee

been ordered to join the main body of
the rebel army"
The following is a special from
Washington, to the Tribune: GA mum
Der of prominent ship merchants are
now here urging upon the Secretary of
War and Navy the immediate and very
great importane of sailing mp Charles
ton harbor, at present the great port of
entry for all contraband trade, and the
harbor out of which, if. out of any
rebel port, iron clad vessels are expect
ed to issue, which may threaten the
safety of our Northern cities.
"Lieut. Col. Ludlow to-day declared
exchanged all the officers and men cap
tured at Munfordsville, KY, in Sep
TENDER last, and now in camp at In
diauapolis, and ready to take the field.
They number about 4 1000 men; also,
all the troops captured at Harper's Fer
ry, and now in camp at Chicago,
amounting to 5000, who are ordered
here"

Partisanism Ignored in Military Appoint
meufs.


The Administration has certainly ig-
nored partisanship in its military selec-
tons and arrangements. There are
four Major Generals of the regular
army. Of these, Halleck, democrat,
is Generalin-chief. Wool and Nc
Clellan, Democrats, and Fremont, Re-
publican, are retired from command.
Burnside, Major General of volunteers,
successor of Mcclellan, is Democrat.
Schenck, who is to have command in
Woods stead at Baltimore, is Repub-
lican, but Morris, who temporarily
holds the position, is Democrat. Dix,
commander of the Department of
Eastern Virginia, is Democrat.
Hunter, just ordered back to the De-
pariment of the South, is Democrat.
Butler, who commands the Department
of Louisiana, is Democrat. Buell.,
recently removed from the Cumberland
Department, is Democrat, and SO also
is Rosecrans, his successor. Gen. Nc
Clernand, of the new Department of
the Mississippi, is Democrat. Gen.
Wright, of the Department of Ken
lucky and Ohio, is Democrat. Gen.
Pope, of the Department of the North
west, is Democrat. This very near
ly ''sweeps the deck" The only de-
partments of any consequence what
ever in command of Republicans, are
the Department of Missouri, General
Curtis, and the Department of Tennes-
see, Gen. Grant. Both the latter have
done efficient and brilliant service.

Singular Immunity of Rebel Families.
NEW YORK. Nov. 18Th

The Times has the following: "The
recent unrebuked presence Of Mrs.
Law. whose husband was on SCOTS
staff, and now an inspectorin the rebel
army, and Mrs. Campbell, wife of Judge
Campbell, Assistant Secretary of War
for the rebel Government, and their un-
impeded return to Richmond, have pro.
voked much comment. Many people
cannot see why female spies are thus
permitted to visit the Capitol of the
country, and after obtaining whatever
information is accessibe-an ample
store-be allowed to return at pleasure
through our lines to Richmond.

A VICTORY GAINED BY CoLoRED
SoLDIERs.-A part of the negro regi-
ment stationed at Fort Lincoln, Kansas,
had fight with guerrilas on the 30th
ult., which resulted in driving the bush
whackers from our soil, killing twenty
and wounding large number. Eight
negroes were killed, and Lieutenant
Craw, white officer. Our informant
tells us that the blacks displayed val
or never surpassed by any soldiers. Is
it not better to gain victory over the
rebels with colored soldiers than to be
beaten because we have not whites
enough? Or can the Union only be
re.cemented by Anglo Saxon blood ?
Away with such nonsense IN war!

HOpeful SIGNS.


The most hopeful sign of the times
is the report of the Harper's Ferry
Commission, just made public. If it
only inaugurates new method of deal
ing with military blunders aud crimes,
and supplants the old of covering up
everything and keeping along, We shall
have better homogeneous straightway.
That the surrender was disgracetul
for our arms-that it was cOwardly or
treacherous-and that it was wholly
unnecessary had proper diligence and
expedition been exercised, no one has
any doubt. The only doubt has been
as to the persons OH whom the respOn-
sibility of the disgrace should rest, and
that point is settled by the clear and
direct report of the Commission.
The fact that the unanimous judg-
ment Of court, majority of the
members of which, namely: Gems.
Hunter, Cadwalader, and Augur, are o. .:
Regular Army officers, while the Judge
Advocate is the Hon. Joseph Holt, will
give it great weight with the country.
They have sifted the matter to the bot
tom, and have laid the blame of this
disgrace where it belongs, without fear
or favor. Col. Miles, Col. Ford, and
Gen. Wool, are strongly censured,
while the condemnation of Gen. Nc.
Clellan by his superior officer, Gen.
Halleck, could hardly be more startling
or emphatic.
