Confident expectations are disappointed.
High hopes are blasted. Every one feels
that things have occurred which there we're

Hon. B. F. Wade made a speech in De-
troit on Saturday evening" of which the
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
writes
Senators Wade and Harlan each spoke
in this city on Saturday evening to a very
large, intelligent and enthusiastic audi
ence. The speech of Senator Wade, which
is the only one heard, was most power
full and truly eloquent defense Of the pur-
poses and policy of the Administration,
and q noble vindication Of the action Of
Congress. He scattered to the winds the
vile ISLANDERS of the secession press against
the Republican leaders and forever from
the record the infamous falsehoods they
have uttered in regard to its designers
He avowed himself radical, and gloried
in the title, as we'll as in belonging to a
radical party. he declared his solemn
conviction that the only safety of the
country was in retaining that party in
power. His speech created the warnest
enthusiasm, and will have q powerful in
fuence on the election in this city. What
little there was of secession" here, he
knocked into a cooked hat.

LATER FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Comments upon the Proclamation.
FROM NEW YORK

r Run NEW OlE a.
NEw YORK, Oct "a.
Tribune's special
It is ascertained that the current COM
| plants to the effect that the Army Of the
Potomac lacks necessary supplies, and is
unable to advance against the enemy for
the reason that they have been withheld
are utterly without foundation. When the
matter was brought to the attention of the
Secretary Of War he instituted an investi-
cation, which disclosed the fact that every
Tequisition from the army under General
Mcclellan had been Immediately answer
ed, and that every article called for had
been promptly delivered, shoes not ex-
cepted. This we are enabled TO state dis
tinctly and positively.
Reports differ respecting the present
whereabouts Of the great rebel army of
Virginia. The general opinion amongour
officers is understood to be that their main
body remains in the vicinity of Winch es-
ter. Intelligent residents of Frederick
City, however, protesting to speak on the
authority Of deserters and refugees, black
and white, are confident that little more
than the shell remain in frone If our forces,
most of the rebel army behind having
crawled away. The circumstance that
Bragg has in like manner escaped Buell.
by evacuating Kentucky, lends plausibility
to this latter suggestion in the eyes of some
persons
The correspondent of the Tribune, writ
ing from Bolivar Heights the 23d, says
More than half of the army is now un-
der command of Major General Burnside.
In addition to his own corps, the 9th, the
Commanders of the ID and 18th report to
him. The I'd, late Summers S, is under Ma
jor General Couch. The 18th, Banks, was
assigned three days ago to Major General
Slocum. But while all these corps are un-
der Burnside the three remaining ones to
the north and west of US, the 9TH, 1st, and
9th are commanded respectively by Fitz
John Porter, Reynolds and Franklin, who
continue to report directly to General Nc
Clellan.
The current belief is that when the army
of the Potomac moves it will be in two
bodies, one commanded by Burnside and
the other by Mcclellan, one to take the
enemy in front, the other in flank. Thisis
probably only an inference drawn from
this arrangement.

While Bragg's army was at Glasgow,
Mr. 7. L. Tabb, formerly citizen of Rich
mond, Virginia, but for several years past
a resident of Gallatin, Tennessee, set out
from Nashville to come to Louisville, but
unluekily was caught by q company of
Bragg's assassins somewhere near the line
and by them conducted to Glasgow His
wife and Two interesting little girls ae-
companied him to Glasgow, from which
place they were persuaded by the rebels to
return to their home in Tennessee, but not
until they had been assured that Mr.. Tabb
would not be harmed. So soon as the poor
distressed mother and daughters started
for home, Mr. Tabb was ordered to be shot,
and was accordingly led out like beast,
tied to tree, and shot.

report Of the capture and occupation by

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 20, 1852.
Simeon Guinness and C. G. Bradshaw,
the former. late Liuetenant, Colonel, and the
latter chaplain of an Illinois regiment,
were arrested yesterday in this city on
warrant, and tried to-day for entiening
from his master slave belonging to Dr. J.
R. Hughes of Lebanon, in this State. The
evidence before the court showed that Col.
Guinness and Chaplain Bradshaw, having
resigned their positions in the army, start
ed for this city. They reached Lebanon
as o. clock, and were entertained by DR..
Hughes at his house. About midnight, il
being ascertained that Morgan and his
band were in the vicinity, the two gentle
men deemed it the part of salty to leave.
In doing so they took the slave with them
and brought him to this city. The slave
could not leave here without and affidavit
as to his status, and the chaplain swore
that he brought the man from Illinois, but
before he got away the facts we're ascer-
tanned, and the parties arrested The evid-
ence showed no guilt on the part of Col.
Guinness. The summing up of the case
will not take place until Saturday, when
verdict will be rendered. The punish
meut is impri sonment.
