MOVING ON.

Wherever we look, we see the armies
Of the Republic moving on to victory.
In the East. General Burnside has re-
organized his great army under great
chiefs, and hereafter the deslinies oil
the Army Of the Potomac will be under
the management of such men as Sum-
ner, Hooker, Franklin. and Sigel.
4 General Dix is approaching Richmond
from Suffolk, General Foster is thread
ing his way along the bays and sounds
Of North Carolina. and gradully. driving
treason into the Dismal Swamp. Hun
ter will soon give Beauregard material
for a Tale Of Two Cities more thrilling
and interesting than any romance that
has yet proceeded from his pen. Gene
raj Butler is anxious to reduce Pensa-
cola and Mobile 10 the docile quietude Of
New Orleans, while Admiral Farragut's
guns are patiently waiting to rouse the
echoes around Fort Morgan. General
Banks is preparing to enter Texas,
hoping soon TO shake hands with Gene
raj Grant at Vicksburgh in congratula-
ton over the recovery of the trans
Mississippi territory to the undisputed
sway Of the Union. General Rosecrsns
is busily forging the bolt which shall
break the chains Of East Tennessee,
and the flag of the Republic will soon
/ float once more over the brave noun
, taineers who have suffered so much for
their faith and loyalty.
Everywhere moving onl From the
North, the South. the East, and the
West, the tides Of war are surging and
flowing towards the great vortex into
which treason must in the end be en-
quilted. Everywhere a unity of pur-
pose, a proud self-denying patriotism.
gallantry that has survived defeats
and chastisement, and excited the ad-
miration of the world, all moving on!
To victory and peace. Victory that
means something. Not merely dead
men, and the roar Of cannon, and the
fight of rebel armies, and the hollow
pomp that comes upon the uncertain
breath Of popular acclamation-for
this is but the glitter and pomp and
gloom, the trappings and the suits
but great truth that will awaken the
spirit Of manhood everywhere, redeem
ing the world, advancing our civiliza-
tiOn. sttesting our right to the high
name Of freemen we so proudly wear
something immortal and sublime,
making this generation illustrious
through the ages. To this great work,
to the spirit of freedom, we have con-
secrated our country and our cause.
The army snd the navy, the pulpit and
the press, the rich and the poor. the
rulers and the ruled, the represented
and their observation-disclosures we
have Of power, pride, courage and de.
votion, all are in the contest, and NOV
ing on towards a glorious consumms-
ton.
1t is something. after all, to have
lived in an age like this, with the high
privilege Of following such glorious
crusade. Our children will bless our
deeds and envy their performance
They will bless us more joyfully il we
do not fail or grow weary, or faint on
the roadside before the end is gained

McCLELLAN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
SURRExDER OF HARPER's FERRY.-The
Commission having in charge the in
vestigation Of the surrender Of Harper's
Ferry. winds up savage article upon
Gen. Mcclellan, in the following highly
complimentary terms:
"He. [Gen. Mcclellan, was sent to
relieve Harper's Ferry and drive the
enemy from Maryland; he marched six
miles day. and, with ninety thousand.
he permits Lee, with only ninety-seven
thousand men, and with only two-thfrds
of that number in Maryland, to capture
Harper's Ferry, unite his army and
meet him at Antietsm. He could and
should have relieved Harper's Ferry"

HLieut. johnson Of the 18th KY.

Gen. McCook at Nashville, in conse-
quence Of the Presidents Emsncipa-

and sent to prison in irons, but subse-

rendered it again, was again arrested,
dismissed from the service in disgrace,
and his insignia Of Office stripped of
him in presence Of his regiment. This
is the 6rst arrest we have heard of as
resulting from that famous document.
The author Of letter published in last

/~ Our town was again thrown
into excitement last Monday evening,
by another riot between some men Of
Capt. Leaper's Cavalry Company, and
some negroes in the upper end of town.
AS usual the fracas ended in the dis
comfture Of the negroes, but not until
one Of the Cavalrymen had received a
severe wound from a revolver in hands
of one of the. negroes. How it began
we neither know nor care. That it
took place in s'Africa" is an indication
that the Cavalry were not on their own
ground. 1t seems passing strange that
this should be allowed, but so it is,
whether because it is impossible for the
officers to restrain their men, or the
fault of the men themselves, it is hard
to say. General Whiskey was at the
bottom of the whole or it. Captain
Leaper very soon knocked the "bottom'
out of General Whiskey, but whether
at his own expense, or at the costs ol
the owners, remains to be seen. 1t is
as we'll that this question should be set
tied at once. This hue and cry against
the negroes Of Gallipolis, will avail but
little. There is a limit to it, beyond
which. men of sense will not go. If,
because one negro misbehayes, the
whole colored population are TO be
hunted down like wild beasts, the sober
judgment of men heretofore unfriendly
to the negro, win revolt against it.

EWe publish in another column,
letter written by Parson Brownlow.
from Cincinnati, Nov. 18th, to the Phil
sdelphia Press. The Parson has been
most grossly imposed upon by his
friends in the army, or the citizens Of
GaAipolis have been kept profoundly
ignorant of the terrible deeds done by
his "brave Tennesseesns." It iB true,
the Jews, not by "two or three" but BY
scores, came up the river, and actually
sold to his friends about one thousand
brass matches, at very fair prices. We
learned of but one being run into the
river, and be came cut on the Ohio
side. The fact is, the Tennessee boys
were at a loss to know what to do with
their money. Nearly all of them ipE
vested largely in boots, and achiSky.-

to overlook it, in consideration Of the
bardsbips the men had undergone in
the retreat from Cumberland Gap.

E The sale Of Government horses
on last Saturday was well attended, and
fair average prices were obtained for
the worst average lot of "scallowags''
ever offered in this or any other mar
ket. The refuse of Gen. Morgsn's
transportation formed the chief part Of
the lot. Some of them bore unmistak-
able marks OF the retreat from Cumber-
land Gap. One died within three rods
of the stables, and in almost as many
minutes after the lucky buyer had paid
his "dollar for a 'oss." Another we
heard oflying by the roadside in a similar
condition. The whole number sold
was eighty, of which about five are yet
on hand awaiting call from the buyers
who, we are requested to state, will
please "caIl at the Captains Office and
settle," pay charges for keeping since
the sale, and stake 'em away" The
horses are mean enough in all conscience,
but the fellow who would wade the mud
for miles, hang about the stables all day,
screw up courage enough to bid on a
SO horse, and then sneak off without
the horse. at least if he didn't pay for
it, is ga dod rotted sight meaner cuss"
than the horse.

Wheeling, has been honorably acquit-
ted. He was subsequently, taken to
Baltimore, and tried by Court Of In.

We are credibly informed by gentle.

was not sustained. Gen. Wool gave
Lieut.. Hoy an honorable discharge, and

Creek have been received dated noon
to-day. There had been no lombard

had been made to cross over from Fall

Fredericksburg constantly, going south,
and rebel cavalry were seen riding
through the street. The rebels still
have battery of ten guns in the rear Of

E%The scarcity and high prices o


RThe scarcity and high prices OF
forage. with the difficulty Of transporta-
tion, have rendered the expense oFre-
cruiting government horses at this
post, question of serious importance.
The number of horses and mules now
in charge of Capt. MOulton, at this
post, is nearly four thousand. Almost
an equal number are on the Kanawha,
all of them to be supplied With forage
from this post. In view of the enor.
nous cost of keeping, and the low con-
dition many of the animals are in, the
winter just commencing. and stabling
for so many out Of the question. the,
Qusrtermsster deems it his duty to
recommend that large number Of such
as are unfit for service, and which, to
make them so, would cost their full val
ue in the spring. be sold as soon as
practicable.
No one conversant with the business
would hesitate to admit the propri-
sty of the measure. Humanity to
dumb brutes would demand it. Very
many Of them must perish before winter
is over, unless better care be taken Of
them than it is possible for the officers
in charge to give them. The crowding
of SO many into one place is apt to en-
gender disease. They cannot be rem
dered fit for service for months, by
which. time, it is to be hoped, they will
not be required for army purposes
Even il so. the prices sold for, if added
to the cost of keeping, viii replace them
with sound horses. Besides, il these
horses are scattered abroad through
the State. aud purchased by parties who
will have an interest 10 recruiting them.
and, therefore, give them good at
tention, the material wealth of the
country will be by SO much increased
Every living horse is worth score Of
dead ones, and many, doubtless. would
survive, if sold and taken away, that
will be bill Of expense to the Govern
ment, even to have them buried. For
these reasons, and many more that
must be patent to the eye Of any man
who has any knowledge Of things as
they really exist, the Quartermaster has
advised the sale Of large number as
soon as possible. We give this intima-
ton beforehand, SO that our readers
may be posted, and that the informa-
tion may be as widely spread as posi-
bic. And just here we may say that
very many of these animals are as sound
as they ever were, only worn down and
requiring rest and food. In this re-
spect, they differ from most Of those
heretofore sold. Fair, bargains, then,
may be expected at this sale. Those
willing to invest will feel that they are
likely to be paid for their food and at
tentioD. Parties from distance will
receive all required information, Of the
time and place of sale, by sending their
address, stamps enclosed, to the Quar-
master at Gallipolis.

November 91-1I P. NJ.
General Patrick, Provost Marshal
General Of the army, this morning
crossed the river to Fredericksburg,
under flag of truce, conveying to the

HEAD-QR's ARMY OF THE PoroMAo.(
November 81.
To the Mayor and Common Council of
Fredricks sburg:
GENTLEMEE: Under cover OF the
houses Of your city, shots have been
fred upon the troops OF my command
your mills and manufactures are fur
nishing provisions and materials for
clothing armed bodies in rebellion
against the United States; your railroads
and other means Of transportation are
removing supplies TO the depots of such
troops.
This condition must terminate; BY
direction OF General Burnside, | accord
ingly demand the surrender Of the city
into my hands. as the representative OF
the United States, at or before 5 5o'clock
this P. NJ. Failing an affirmative re-
ply to this demand by the hour indica-
ted, sixteen hours will be permitted to
ela2ss for the removal from the city OF
women and children, the sick and
wounded, and aged, &C., which period
having expired. shall proceed to shell
the town.
Upon obtaining possession Of this
city, every necessary means will be Ia
Ken to preserve order and procure the

Your obedient servant,

Brevet Major General, U. S. A., com
manding Right Grand Division.
On arrival On the opposite side Of the
river, General Patrick was conveyed to
the guard house by the military. where
he was detained until the reply was
ready. In The meantime. his commu-
nication was sent to General Longstreet,
whose troops are encamped short dis
tance outside the city.
AS the demand was made upon the
civil authorities, the Mayor sent an an
swer which was evidently written at the
dictation of General Longstreet. to the
effect that the complaints enumerated
should be remedied so far as firing on
our picBets and furnishing supplies aud
material 10 the Confederate army was
concerned; also, that the rebels would
dispute the occupying Of the city by the
Government forces. ..
He complained of the short space OF
time allowed for the removing of the
women and children and sick soldiers.
The giving ofany more time. as request
ed, is now under consideration.
Permission has been given the citi-
Gems to run one train from the city, but
only for the conveyance Of women and
children. .....
The news to-day received from Jack
son, shows that he had rented house
in Winchester for his family. His troops
are in front of the city, with a regiment
Of cavalry at Martinsburg.
