Gen. HalIeck'S Letter !
HEADQUARTERS OF THF ARMY,
WAsHINGTuN, Oct. %, 1862
Hon. II. M Stanton, Sec'y Of Var

lion. II. Dr. Stanton, Sec'y Of Var :
Shin reply to the general inter
rogatories contained in your letter of
yesterday, / have the honor to report,
F,rst.-ThatrequlSltlons tor supplies
to the army under Gen. Nc Clellan are
made by his Staff Officers or the Chiefs
Of Bureaus here-that is, the Quarter
master applies, by his Chief Quarter
master, on the Quartermaster Gener-
al for commissary supplias by his
Chief Commissary ON the COmnIssary
General, dc. No such acquisitions
have, TO my knowledge, been made up
ON the Secretary Of War, and none up-
on the General>in>ChIet.
Second.-On several occasions Gen
eral Mcclellan has telegraphed me that
MS army was IN want OF certain sup
plies. All these kilograms arriving re-
terred to heads of bureaus with orders
to report. There has not been, so tal
as could ascertain, any neglect or de-
lay in any department or bureau in is
suing all the supplies asked for by
Gen. Mcclellan, or by the officers O
his staff. Delays have occasionally
occurred III forwarding supplies by
railroad, on account of the crowded
condition of the railroad depotS or of {
want of sufficient number Of cars.
Third.-Soon after the battle of An
tietam Gen. Mcclellan was ordered tt
give me information of his intended
movements in order that if he moved
between the enemy and Washington
the reinforcements could be sent from
this place. On the first OF October
finding that he purposed to operate
from Harper's Ferry, | urged him t.
cross the river at once and give battle
to the enemy, pointing out to him the
disadvantages of delaying till the au-
tum rains had swollen the Potomac ant
impaired the roads. On the 9th o
i October he was peremptorily ordered
to cross the Potomac aud give battle
to the enemy or drive him out. l sale
to HIM your army must move now while
The roads are IN good condition. |
Il will be observed that three weeks ha
elapsed since the order was given.
Fonrth.-In my opinion, there ha
+ been no such want of supplies in th,
army under Gen. Mcclellan as to pre-
vent his compliance with my orders T.
advance upon the enemy. Had h
moved his army to the south side o
the Potomac, he could have received
his supplies almost as readily as by re
manning inactive on the north side.

respects to Colonel Moore, presented my bust

There may be occasionally, seeming excep-
tional instances But a careful comparison OF
election returns with the moral and educational

general fact, that religious and educational In
huences, temperance and sobriety, are nntavo--
able to the progress Of modern democratic sen-
timents,
There is another aspect of political affairs,
which it may be instructive to mention. There
are in the state of Wisconsin probably not less
than six hundred clergymen, comprising the
various denominations of the Protestant faith.
OF this entire six hundred, there are probably
not ten who sympathized and voted with the
democratic party at the late election OF the
entire body of church members comprising the
various Protestant denominations in the STATE
probably not one in twenty voted the democrat

What is true Of Wisconsin in these matters, Is

wrong politically. With such we seek no con-
troversy these statements are made for such

this article any estimate of the political pro-

the Catholic faith, because we have not the in

There are various other important facts which
have direct bearing upon the subject under

of the liquor dealers, will of course be various
