How 40 Develop gnionissn In the
South.

An army correspondent Of the Boston
Post, writing from the headquarters of
Weitzel's brigade, on the Lafourche, LOU
isiana, on the Sth instant, has these signi-
ticant paragraphs
General Weitzel's headquarters are now
near TribadeuX. His management of
the campaign has been eminently success
full. He has shown the finest qualities of
the solder-cOOlness, bravery, and high
military skill in the movement of his for
ces. At the same time, his treatment of
the inhabitants assured them that after all,
their highest interests are best secured I'M
der the protection of the old flag of the
Union, and many of them are renewing
their allegiance to the federal govern
ment. . ...
If only the administration will act with
Notwithstanding strictly to the spirit
OF the Magma Chdatt1-the restoration of
the Union will be Of comparatively easy
attainment. If, on the other hand. it
yields to the mad, wild vagaries of the rad
icals, that restoration must be impossible.
To us here who are thrown into the very
heart of the South, as it were, and who see
clearly the condition of southern society,
nothing seems more obnoxious to reason
nothing more purely wild and insane
than the views of the northern radicals.
They never can be carried into effect, and
the attempt to do SO will only produce an
archy of the profoundest disorder. pray
God it may never be made. I want a
country to live in, should kind Providence
spare my life till the shock of battle is over.
1 want to see the grand old Union as it
was, basedupon the Constitution, re -estab-
lished, individual liberty protected by all the
old guarantees, and our institutions -four
ishing under government of laws. jug Vie

FROM CAIRO AND BELOW.
GEN. GRANT REACHES THE ITALIA
HATCHIE,

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
The rebels have gone to Oxford. We
pursue at midnight. Citizens say that the
rebels evacuated because the Union forces
cut them off from railroad and Geographic
communication from Grenada. We cap
tured twelve prisoners in Abbeyville.
-saA passenger by late steamer reports q
skirmish at the Tallahatchie, between the
advance of Grants army under Col. Lee,
on Sunday. The rebels met our forces at
first with considerable show of resistance,
but after short time fell back under a
charge, leaving even their batteries upon
the ground, which were captured and car
ried off the field The loss on the rebel
side must have been large; that of Col.
Lee is very small. 1t was not known
whether the rebels would resume the
fight. "A.
CAIRO, Dec. 3.-The rebel rout from
Abbeyville is complete. The main body of
General Grants army crossed the Tale
hatchie on Tuesday morning. When the
rebels learned their movements, they burn
ed their commissary stores at Abbeyville
and made precipitate retreat.
General Sherman crossed the Tallehatch-
lie, ten miles below the point at which
General Hamilton crossed. General Sher-
man crossed on pontoon bridges.
1t is reported at Holly Springs that Gen.
Hovey's expedition, which left Helena a
few days ago, have penetrated to the Mis-
sissippi Central Railroad, and destroyed
the bridges near Grenada, thus cutting off
the rebel retreat.
CAIRO, Dec. 81 can get no particu-
lars of the skirlnish near Lumpkins' Mills
on the Goth, only that the rebels got the
worst of it, very decidedly.
On Monday morning, Col. Lees cavalry,
of which force the Michigan Sd and Kansas
1st regiments formed part, supported by
several guns, had brilliant encounter
with rebel force on the North side of the
Tallahatchie, in which the rebels were
again driven back, and battery of six
of their guns taken, with the horses be-
longing to the battery. The horses were
hitched to the pieces, and had just COM
menced moving them off Our casualty,
so far as can learn, in this skirmish, was
one wounded.
On Monday afternoon the Federal cav
airy crossed the Tallahatchie, and on Mon
day night the infantry followed A dis
patch says the rebels abandoned their
works yesterday, and retreated South, and
that the federal forces are now in peace
able possession OF what threatened to be a
rebel stronghold.
We have nothing from the expedition
which landed at Friar's Point. Nearly all
the Federal gunboats are now below He
lena.
CAIRO, Nov. 3.-Gen. Grants army is
still on the move; already his advance has
crossed the Tallahatchie River, and is
therefore in close proximity to the rebels
johnson is supposed to be near, with all
the force that Southwestern rebeldOm can
muster to the defense of Mississippi.

An Irish Soldier to Irish Soldiers.

Brigadier General MEAGHER, the elo-
quent Irish patriot who is now fighting the
battles of his adopted country, has issued
a general order to his troops, in which he
rebukes some of his officers who have ten
dered their designations in consequence of
the removal of General MCCLELLAN, and
counsels them upon the duties of the SOL
der. While withholding his approval of
these designations, the General reminds the
Irish soldiers, who principally compose his
brigade, that
The great error of the Irish people, in
their struggle for an independent national
existence, has been their passionate and
blind adherence to an individual, instead of
to a principle or q cause. Thus, for gen.
erations their heroic efforts in the right
direction have been feverish and spas
modic, when they should have been. con-
tinuous, equable and consistent.
The order concludes with these fiery
words:
In conclusion, the Brigadier- General
proudly declares his conviction that to the
overwhelming majority of the officers of
the brigade these latter remarks of his
cannot, as they do not, have the slightest
application. The few sluggards, towards,
and imbeciles who once held commissions
in it, most happily for its well-being and
good name, have been ANONYMOUSLY sent
about their business, and in their disgrace
the brigade has been purified, strengthened
and exalted.
For his own part, the Brigadier- General
will stand by his brigade to the last. So
long as Heaven spares his life he will be
true to the brigade that has been true to
him, that has been true to it's oath, true to
the high spirit as well as to the strict
letter of the military law, true to the
brighter history, pride, and expectations
of their noble, soldiery old race-the race
of theODonneils of Spain, the McMahons
OF France, the Nugents of Austria, the
O'Neils and Sarsfields. While shred of
the flag that symbolizes this race defies the
ravaees of the battle, and fifty men be left
to hold it high and naughty in the face of
death, the Beigadier-G General, should it be
the will of God, shall be found standing
firm and faithful at his post; and this de-
termination, he is confident, animates and
fires this moment every true heart in the
Irish brigade.

brlgadier-General Commanding.

Presenting Il Prayer-book to IA Gem
eral.

Mrs. Valera Hubert of Memphis, Ten
nessee, having noticed General Sherman
worshipping in Calvary church, and OBJ
serving thereawas not a prayer-book con.
venient, sent one to him as a present, with
a polite note requesting that the general
might offer one prayer for peace. General
Sherman sent the following reply:
MEMPHIS, Nov. Z, 1862.
Mrs. VALERA HUBERT, Memphis:
Dear Madame Il thank you most sin
cerely for the prayer-book received yester-
day, and assure you that I appreciate it
for the kindly feeling that prompted the
gift, the beauty of the volume and the words
of charity, goodness and wisdom contained
therein
| will endeavor in the exercise of the
difficult task imposed upon me by our COM
mon government, to give heed to the
teachings of religion contained in that sa-
cred volume, and should any measure of
mine seem to your kind heart to severe or
harsh, | ask the exercise of that charity
which is the foundation of all true piety.
War is the storm by which God purifies
the disturbed political atmosphere, and its
thunderbolts sometimes strike the innocent
and bel pless.
l am, with great respect, yours.
w. 7. SHERMAN, Maj. General.
The Aryus says that the mate to this
prayer book was presented by the lady to
an officer in the rebel army.

A newspaper correspondent tells til

u newspaper correspondent telIS the
following:
Some one sent President Lincoln, last week.
a batch of newspaper criticisms upon him and
his conduct of the war. In speaking about it
to friend, Mr.. Lincoln said: Having an hour
to spare on Sunday, read this batch Of edito-
rails, and when was through reading asked
myself Abraham Lincoln, are you man or
q dog?"
The writer does not state what conclu-
sion Mr.. Lincoln arrived at, but leaves us
to suppose that he regarded it as an open
question. Possibly he may be waiting to
find out which side the Almighty is on. ysa

FROM THE SOUTH.

FORTRESS MONROE, Nov. 1.-The second mat,
and seven Of the sailors Of the burnt ship ALE
gaenian arrived here to-day from yorktown
under arrest The crew numbered twenty men
These eight men were picked up by the gun
boat Monticello and taken to yorktown. All
tne rest OF the crow are missing. Nothing
definite has been learned In relation TO tho de,
s!ruction Of this ship.
The Richmond Examiner of the 3Olh con.
tsins the following:
CHARLESTON, Dot. 2S.-Tidings reached here
this evening Of the capture In Bulls Bay of The
steamship Anglea, laden with valuable army
stores, bound to this city. When the Anglea
lett Nassau news had been received that The
Yankees were working night and day on Iron
clads, with view of attacking Charleston
eoop.
q Day before yesterday Yankee gunboat came
up the river as far as West Point, making no
stay, but said they intended to send up large
vessel to blockade the river and stop The rebel
trade In oysters. They also stated the people
on the Rappahannock river have not yet tasted
the terrors Of war, and they intend to pay them
visit shortly.
Friction matches sold in Richmond on the
29!h at $ll so per gross F7
The Examiner says: We have been waited
upon by several Of the surgeons who came up
from Aiken's landing on Tuesday in charge OF
sne wounded paroled prisoners, and from their
statements Of neglect and treatment at that
point IL would seem that tho sufferlngs of Con-
iederate prisoners only commence when released
from Yankee thraldom. Their custody and
care is transferred to those from whom they
have right TO expect humane and better treat
mens. In the name of God we hope to hear OF
no more such treatment.
A man In Richmond had been sentenced "a
wear barrel shirt through the city and then
sent to hard labor In the fort for six months,
for smuggling liquor into the city.
The Examiner says the wagon train of sup.
plies brought out of Kentucky by Gen. Kirby
Smith, was forty miles long, and brings mil
lion yards Of Kentucky iesns, with large
amount OF clothing, boots and shoes, and two
hundred wagon loads of bacon, six thousand
barrels OF pork, fifteen thousand mules and
horses, eigh. thousand beeyes and q large lot OF
swine.
The Raleigh Express says there are many
considerations which make il necessary that
Government should take prompt and energetic
easures to hold against the enemy the east.
ern portion of North Carolina. The people Of
this region are already alarmed ct the prospect
OF being overrun by the enemy, and are said to
dissrust the Intention of the Government to
hold this country, and TO be making propositions
70 remove their slave property to safer quar-
ters. The Neuse river is navigable at high
ireehes for boats drawing four or Eve feet OF
water to Smithfeld, within twenty miles oi
Raleigh, twould be improper TO say what has
already been done to close this and the Tar
river.
