Changes in McClellan's Arm,

New YORK, October 16.-Commodore
VIM. L. Hudson, United States Navy,
died in Brooklyn last evening. He re-
tired last evening in his usual health
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Inquirer with General McClellan's army,
writes as follows, under date of Oct. IA
Many and important changes have been
made in the various brigades, divisions and
corps within the past few days, and it is
now almost impossible to ascertain the
location of any body of men less than a
division. Colonels have been appointed
brigade commanders, Brigadiers have as
sumed control of divisions, and several
changes have taken place in the COM
manders of corps since the recent conflicts
in this vicinity. General Hooker has been
assigned to the command vacated by Gen.
Mcdowell, and as Hooker is now absent
recovering from his wounds, Gen. Rey-
dolds is in command. An immense num-
Der of troops is encamped within five miles
around here. Many of the divisions are
under orders to march at moments warn
ing. The Pennsylvania Reserves, which
are now in Hoeker's corps, received
marching orders yesterday at II o'clock,
but have not yet moved, as I have just
arrived from their encampmsnt, which is
two miles west Of this point.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAo
Friday Evening, Oct. II.

Yesterday morning when Hancock ad-
vanced his Division to Charlestown, Gen.
Woodbury's Division crossed the Potomac
at Sheppardstown Ford, taking the road
leading to Smithfeld, small village half
WY between Charlestown and Bunker
Hill. Gen. Woodbury. encamped last
night between Leetown and Kurnysville,
about miles from Smithfeld. His
troops met with but slight resistance dur
ing the day from the enemy's mounted
pickets.
This morning he advanced his cavalry
towards Smithfeld, miles from Bunker
Hill, where he met the cavalry belonging
to Hancock's division. Before reaching
this point, the enemy were found to be in
very large force. The reconnaissance here
ended, its object being to ascertain where
the main body of the rebel army lay.
There is no doubt but the rebel Gen
erals intend to give battle at or near their
present location. The indications are
that they will not have to wait long be-
fore they again meet the army of the Po-
tomac.

Especial Correspondence of the N. Y. Express
WASHINGTON, Oct. Is, 1862.
GEN. McJLELLAN'S ORDER.

The late order of Gen. Mcclellan to
the Army of the Potomac, relative to dis
cussions by officers and soldiers, concern
ing public measures determined upon and
declared by the government" has been
received with much favor, by conservative
men in Washington. It is, of course
perfectly understood that the Order re-
fers to discussions of the Emancipation
Proclamation, which has undoubtedly ex-
cited great deal of adverse feeling in the
army, the originally republican element of
which has grown conservative, by actual
contact with the negroes of the South;
whilst the Democrats are more firmly
fixed in their political principles than
before they keew anything Of the practi-
cal workings of slavery. Among the vast
majority Of officers and men, the Procla-
nation has elected the most bitter ami
madversion, particularly, since it became
known that the rebel government was con-
sidering the expediency of adopting
retaliatory policy, by which the soldiers Of
the Union who abhor Abolitionism and
all it's priests and partisans, are to become
the victims of the sword or the hangman,
SuOulu tHey laIl iHIo Tcpel Hanus aileT
the emancipation measure shall be inau-
guratcd You may rest assured that the
sentiments of the army have been very
freely expressed, and in some cases, the
feeling of indi; ma .on has been so pro-
found as to require | t le fostering to
ripen into something nearly akin to mu
tiny. have myself heard many officers
and soldiers declare most positively that
nothing shall ever induce them to fight in
support Of Abolitionism They say they
are in arms to vindcate the Constitution
and the laws f tho land, and will never
consent to be made tools in the hands of
designing fanatics, to add still further to
the horrors of war already of the most
sanguinary character. These observa-
tons are suddenly hushed, since the issue
of Gen. Mcclellan s Order, and no further
difficulty on the subject need be appre-
hended for the present The army will
wait till the 1st of January next, to see
whether the Government really intends to
carry into effect policy certain to draw
from the desperate chiefs of the rebellion
system of reprisals, whose character, as
already foreshadowed by the resolutions
offeredin the rebel Congress, is sufficient
to make humanity shudder.

A GRAND TRUTH.


The Chicago Times utters a grand truth
in the following quotation-a truth as
patent to all unprejudiced minds as the
light of the sun at MONDAY: "Aboli-
ton is the primary cause of our Difficult
ties-not slavery. Slavery is constitu-
tional, abolition is not. Slavery was enti-
tied to be let alone within its proper
sphere; abolition arose and assailed it,
and undertook to teach the people that
the Union could not survive half slave
and half free. Then appeared secession
and between the two denominations the
Union is in deadly peril. 1t is the mis-
sion of the Democracy, joined by other
conservative people, to bring it out Of this
terrible chaos. Wepray Democrats never
for single moment to lose sight Of this
grand truth"

PHuApELpHIA Oct. IA

Specials in to-days Tribune from
Washington says: = Expectations still
stands on tip-toe in the effort to see the
movements of which Gen. Stuarts excur-
sions is supposed to be the prelude
Some will have it that Lee means to fol
low the same path far enough to throw a
large force ON the right flank of General
Mcclellan
Others favor the supposition that Gen
Sigel will soon be attacked, but the report
g-owing out of this hypothesis, to the eff
feet that 10000 rebels are at Middleburg
is anfounde lat least the Government
has NJ such news
Others think the cavalry dash designed
t c,ver general re T .at Gen. Stuart
did not hurry to cross the Potomac after
he received it, on his return to Virginia
He stopped fall lolr, acco ding to re-
ports which have been received here, in
ght Of the ferry, far the purpose of Civ
ing his horses a last feed ON My Mary
lands corn.
Gen. Stoneman's infantry were, in the
meantime, coming up from Poolesville,
six miles away, and Gen. Pleasanto. whose
eight hundred cavalry were too much ex-
hausted to attack having marched seventy
eight miles in twenty-four hours without
change of horses, was amusing himself
with artillery practice across the river
two gnns against two rebel guns.
Gen. Stuart is reported to have told the
people at the Ferry that he had fooled
the whole party, but had not done all he
intended he had not destroyed the gov
ernment stores at Frederick, nor burned
the bridge over the Monocacy. Before
leaving, Gen Stuart sent his compliments
to Gen. Seth Williams. MClellan's As
sistant Adjutant General, and to other Of
his old military friends.
None of his men were killed, injured
or captured by our army, but the Penn
sylvania farmers rallied and took prisoner
the advance guard of one man.
The Surgeon General received a tele-
gram to-day from the Surgeon in charge
of the hospital at Chambersburg, to the
effect that all the patients were paroled by
Gen. Stuart, but the hospitals and stores
were not injured in the least.
1t is believed in the best informed cir
cles here that Gen. Les has received re-
Inducements to the number of at least
%, 900 since he crossed the Potomac, per-
haps enough to replace those he lost in
Maryland. 9es f..as,.,se. -
A special to the Tribune from Harper's
Ferry says:-The picket force of the ene-
my on our front is usually strong. Not
a refugee, white or black, is able to make
his way through. Our pickets extend
about two miles from Bolivar Heights,
and the rebel pickets, two miles beyond,
can be seen with field glass from our
batteries on the Heights. s
A section of rebel artillery 10 also visi-
Bile on the road this side of Charlestown.
The rebels guard this line with unusual
vigilance, probably to conceal their move
ments.
