WAsnuaros, OCT among the arrivals TO-
DAY is Captain g. Young direct from Richmond,
hayine left there Thursday BY Gag of truce down
James river. He with Maj. Barney of n. T.,
vere captured on the 2lst of Sept. while on
horseback tour in the vicinity Of Bull Kun by
the S0th Virginia cavalry, under Col Chsmblass,
graduate Of West Point.
The prisoners spent four days pleasantly on
the way to Richmond and were treated kindly
and Hospitality by their captors and by those
whom they met on the route. Inc Cavsiry
Regiment Of Colonel Chamblass was handsome
" mounted and uniformed and fully equipped.
There appeared TO be abundance Of salt, -four,
fresh beef and shoes among the soldiers and
good discipline prevailed. They treated each
other with kindness and courtesy. No whskey
drinking or card playing was allowed. Much
comment was made BY the rebel troops as TO
the careless manner in which our dead we're
buried on the plains of Manassas.
All the rebel soldiers denounce Gen. Pope
but speak in the most complimentary terms Of
Mcclellan.
The country districts are exhausted of food
for man or beast, and in consequence apprehen.
sions exist of great distress among the people,
during the winter.
Every body has plenty of paper money Of
all descriptions and denominations.
The treatment OF Federal prisoners has been
changed for the better, and those confined with
Capt. Young had no cause to complain. He
with thirty others were put in a large and pleas
ant room and were attended by guards and ser
wants, with marked kindness. Rations were
served them regularly. The morning papers
were served them at night
Col Daniel Ullmsn and Lieut.. Col. Brown of
New York, and about 700 others arrived at
Annapolis to-day, having left Richmond Tues
day morning. The rebel troops are rapidly re-
ceiving their new uniforms, consisting of dark
gray jackets and light blue pants. There is no
lack of arms and they have more cannon than
can be used. The general impression among
them is that the war will not end until the ex.
pirstion of Lncoln's term of Office.
Everybody, however, is sick of hostilities, and
the troops desire to return-to their homes Yet
one constantly hears the remark, "You may ex-
terminate US, but you cannot subjugate u.s."
The new Merrimac is not yet finished.
Eight dollars bushel was asked for sweet po
tatoes. Rye coffee and sugar brought dollar
per pound each. There is little or no molasses
on sale. Ten drinking cups sold for Is cts each,
and all other necessaries in proportion. Major
Barney is still detained at the Libby Prison.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,i
Near Sharpsburg, Md, Oct. Z.
General Order No. l63:-The attention OF the
officers and soldiers of the Army of the Potomac
is called to General order No. l39, of the War
Department, dated Sept. "a, 1862 publishing
TO the army the Presidents proclamation of Sept
22d. proclamation of such grave moment to
the nation, officially communicated to the army,
affords the General Commanding an opportunity
of defining, specifically, to the officers and SOL
diers under his command the relati on borne by
oil persons in the military service ofithe United
States towards the civil authorities Of the Gov
eminent.
The Constitution confdes to the civil author
ities-lesis'ative, judicial and executive-the
power and duty OF making, expending and exc
cutting the Federal laws; armed forces are raised
and supported simply to sustain the civil autho.
rites, and are to be held in strict subordination
thereto in all respects. This fundamental rule
Of our political system is essential to the secu-
rity of every Republican ms tuition, and should
be thoroughly understood and observed by eyery
soldier.
The principle upon which and the object for
which it should be employed in suppresspg re-
bellion must be determined and declared by
civil authorities and chief executive with the
administration of political officers is the proper
and only course through which the views ane
orders Of the Government can be made known
the armies Of the .-..on. Discussion
BY officers and soldiers upon and declared
BY the Government when carried at all be-
yond the ordinary temperate and respectful
expression of opinion destroy the discipline and
efficiency OF troops. By substituting the spirit
Of political faction for that firm, steady and ear
oeet support of the authority Of the Government,
which is the highest duty Of the American col.
der, the remedy for political errors, if any are
committed, 10 to be found Only in the action OF
che people At the polls.
Thus calling the attention Of the army to the
true relation between the soldier and the Gov
eminent, the General Commanding merely I'D
verts to an evil against which it has been though,
advisable during our whole history to guard the
armies Of the republic.
In SO doing be will not be considered by any
right minded opinion as casting any reflection
upon that loyalty and good conduct which has
been so conspicuously and fully illustrated on
% many battle fields in carrying out al meas
ures of public policy. This army will, Of course,
be guided BY the came rules Of mercy and Chris
sianity that has ever controlled it's conduct to-
wards the defenceless.
