The feeling throughout the army TO-
wards Gen. Burnside is very warm and
cordial.
Thirty of our regular cavalry under
Lieut. Ash. I'd dragons, went out fora
ging ten miles to the south yesterday, en-
countering a whole squadron of the 9th
Virginia rebel cavalry. They made a
brilliant charge through il, led by Lieut..
Ash, who received d sabre cut in the head
and two bullets, but who utterly routed
and put to flight the superior rebel force.
Lieut.. Ash was engaged n~ desperate
hand to hand conflict with the rebel Cap
tain, whom he had already run through
with his sabre, when just as his foe was
drawing a revolver to shoot with the muz-
zle at bis heart, one of his men shot him
dead and preserved lis life Our loss in
killed aud wounded was s. rebel loss ID
A rebel force is on our immediate front.
Their army is massed at Culpepper.
Gen. German has gone to Washington.

and rights of education, of free speech,

Labor being discredited by the extension
of slavery, the pauperism and degradation
of the free workers of the North would
corrupt society to its core. The concu.
binage of the South would spread beyond
the present dividing line, and the morals
of tue whole a ion would be in danger of
becoming like those Of the slave states,
which are grosser than can be conceived
of in any other part OF Chrlstendom.
Every other nation would be perpetually
on the verge of war, or engaged IN 1T,
because the slave power cannot abstain
from aggression, nor maintain its position
by the arts of peace We should see a
retrograde period arrive more disastrous
to civilization than the advent of the first
Napoleon. We should see a buccaneer
ing nation turning the progress of politi-
cal liberty into mockery, destroying
the freedom of the seas and the security
of territory, and the prosperity Of labor.
We should see the natural laws of indus
try and trade tempered with, civilization
turned back, a canting paganlsm set up
in the name of Christianity, and the old
world infested with the plracies of the
now in avery denartment of notifies Of
business, of territorial possession, and II

AS far as England is concerned, we

say in excuse for their state of mind about

Very well and what does this mean ?
1t means an association Of ideas made up
Of trouble about search Of slaves at sea,

threats Of Canada, and SANDERS about our
cruisers in the Gulf, and outrage on San
Juan, and the bullying of the General
Harneys, and the sharp practice of cab
inets at Washington, and aggressions
upon our seamen in port, and universal
rudeness to our representatives in the
States, and to our government through
American representatives in England

Recent reconnoissances indicate that
two divisions of rebel cavalry arc between
the Rappahannock and Rapidan, and one
division in the vicinity of the old battle
ground of Cedar Mountain, under COM
mand Of Gen. d. H. Hill. Gen. Hamp-
tons Legion, consisting of a brigade Of
cavalry from Stuart's division, was be-
tween Little Washington and Sperryville
yesterday, and tie artillery with him yes
terdav morning shelled the camp of the
Sth Illinois cavalry. Gen. Wilcox prompt
ly moved his division to the support of
Gen. Averill, whose entire brigade was
but a short distance from him. Gen.
Avarill being i'll, Col. Farnsworth, of the
9th cavalry, now commar DIS the brigade.
Gen. Taylor with brigade Of infantry
from Gen. Ricketts, division, now com
manded by Gen. Griffin, has occupied the
village Of Jefferson, four miles from the
Rappahannock, on the read from Warren
ton Springs to Culpepper.
The following is from your special cor
respondent. :. Warrenton, dated last eve

Gen. Burnside's staff has not yet been
announced, but it is understood that he
retains his own personal staff and the de-
partment staff Of Gen. Mcclellan, inclu-
ding Adjutant General Seth Williams and
Lieut.. Col. Hardie. Maj. Gen. Park will
continue to be Gen. Burnside's chief Of
staff This gives very general satisfaction.
For this most responsible position, hardly

dends by the exploits of their vessel, we
think it probable that a majority OF the
m erchants there will be prompted TO turn
pirates on the same principle.
History informs us that in the proudest
DAYS of her history English gentleman
were knighted for their piratical exploits
on the high seas, and it is barely possible
that honorable wealth may be obtained in
that Kingdom even iD the present day in
the same pursuit, but it will behoove
those who seek it not to prey on British
commerce.

Iron Plated Vessels at Charleston.

Boston, Nov. l2.
" The correspondent OF the Boston Jour
nal writes from on board the L. S. steam
er South Carolina, of Charlie ton, us fol-
lows: The British trigatc Racer, by per
mission Of Flag Officer Green. entered
Charleston harbor and took away. as pas
scnger, the British consul. The consul
says that the rebels have just launched "A
powerful ram, and that more are ready
for plating with iron, which they expect
every day to arrive from England in an
iron plated steamer. He also says the
rebel steamer Nashville is lying at the
mouth of the Stone inlet, six miles from
Charleston, watching chance to run out.
He reports 600 cases of yellow fever at
Charleston when lie left.
The same correspondent, under date Of
October 10, writes as follows: About ~
0 clock last night heavy firing was heard
to the northward. which continued for
half an hour From the sound of the
guns this tirin. was judged 10 be about
eight miles off. This worning, a boat
arrived from the flag slip, informing us
that a vessel had run the blockade during
the night, and the firing was from the
| Flambeau, which got under way before
! the steamer ran the line of the blockade,
and attempted to stop her, but she took
not the least notice of the Flambeau,
which fred % shots against her sides,
but they ratified off like hail. She must
have been iron plated, and very thick at
that, as the Flambeau's rfied shots would
have went through her, but she kept on
up the channel and run in. 1t is thought
she is the vessel the rebels expected with
the iron plates, and II 50. We must expect
some hot work before long unless we have
something here besides wooden ships IL

Mcclellan aud the Army.

We have heard great deal about the
devotion of the Army of the Potomac to
the +" Young Napoleon" and the predic-
tions of his political friends that his re-
moval would produce the most disastrous
results among cur own men. This some
what current impression has all aloug
been in striking contrast with the ridicule
heaped upon our favorite leader by
foreign powers, and the fact that of all
our Generals he was the rebel choice for
the place he occupied.
But the utter groundlessness of these
predictions, and McClcllan's assumed pop
ularity with the army, is fully shown by
the following extract from the Chicago
Tribune's special Washington dispatch of
10th:
The Worlds correspondent Of the army
of the Potomac arrived in town TO day
He says that the mutiny SO confidently
predicted by McClellan's friends, has not
taken place. Not musket has been
stacked, not a man refused to serve
or talked Of refusing.
The Herald's story to the contrary is
simply falsehood.
Our army is concentrating and will
speedily advance until the enemy is found.
Tie rebel army is Ieisurely falling back.
Jackson pushed through Chester Gap on
Wednesday, just ahead of Mcclellan
Gen Wadsworth went to the front to-day
on invitation of Gen. Burnside. Since
the battle Of Antietam all commanders of
corps, except Fitz John Porter, have ask
ed to be relieved from serving under Nc.
Clellan. So have most officers of note in
command of divisions and brigades.
Hooker and Hunter have also express
ed their unwillingncss to serve under Nc
Clellan.
The opinion of Holt and others well
| qualified to Judge is, that SO far from lead
ing to disorganization in the army, Nc
Clellan's removal iSa remedy for that i'm
pending.
1t will be conceded that the World 4
correspondent would not misrepresent OF
color statement as against Nc Clellan -
The fact is, Mcclellan had lost the con-
lidenco of the officers under him, and the
enthusiasm of his troops, and his remov
al was necessary to the successful al,
vance of our arms into Virginia Mill
tary leaders might as we'll learn first al
last that our brave and intelligent volun
teers did not enlist in this war to becom,
hero worshippers." A higher motiv,

confidence of the men is of the creates
Importance to successful operations, til,
love of officers is always secondary to tn
love Of the cause for which they are fight
ing, and military leaders will secure tina
love and the respect of their men in pro
portion to the efforts and sacrifices made
for the cause.

The Southern Telegraph Line was

hour it gave out and was probably cut by
guerrillas south of Gallatin, Tenn, to
which place it is now in operation.

Rumors prevail that Gen. Rosencrans

absence Of any Geographic sommunica-
ton from the reporters Of the Associated

Lieutenant johnson, of the 18th Ken

of Adam II. johnson, the guerrilla chief
In the Green River country, rendered his
resignation to Major General McCook,
alleging as a reason the publication by the
President of his emancipation proclama-
ton, when McCook ordered him to be
arrested and sent to the military prison
in irons. After ten or eleven days con-
fnement, no charges having been pre-
ferred against him, Gen. Boyle relieved
him, ordering him to join his regiment
without delay johnson again rendered
his resignation ON the same grounds,
when he was placed under arrest and dis
missed from the service in disgrace, and
his insignia of Office stripped from him in
the presence of the whole regiment. Gen.
Rosencrans' orders on the subject was
read at the head of the regiment. John
son was sent back of our lines to report
to Gen. Boyle, and directed not to re-
enter the lines.
