GREAT FALLS, PoTOAAO RIVER, Sept. IL i.
The point at which the rebel army cross
ed the Potomac from Virginia into Mary
land, encompasses about twelve miles,
which lie between a mile above the Point
of Rocks and FIVE miles below the Mouoca-
cy AQueduCt, on the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal. They then marched through fields,
woods and roads, in det9chments for Fred
erick.
No doubt every one is anxious to know
how many Confederates crossed the Poto-
mac. As far as your correspondent has
heen able to ascertain, at least two hundred
thousand have already entered Maryland,
and others are still coming over in small
squads. The Confederate privates, accord
ing to their own Acknowledgements, concur
in the assertion that their Generals march.

by the Uuion forces.
Some of them were so overcome that
they lay down by the roadside aud expi-
red. Others barely reached camp, and then
succumbed to death. This is.welI attested
by what your correspondent saw near Mo-
uocacy. There, where they were encamp-
ed, two new trenches were prominent to
twenty or more men had, within day or
two past, been laid beneath the sod.
The horses, poor dumb animals, were
driven so much that they became entirely
exhausted. When they fell from excessive
fatigue, they were either shot or knocked
in the head, aud then thrown in the basin
of the canal.-SpecidE Correspondence of the

The Good News from the Potomac.

The intelligence received yesterday that
ol- forces under Gen. Mcclellan had de-
feated and were driving towards the Polo
tomac the rebel horde under Gen. Lee, was
moro than usually gratifying. We have
not had any good news for some time, and
it comes to US now, for that reason, with
greater zest. Perhaps this is the turning
of the tide that has been 80 long aud
cruelty against Us. Ifso, let US hope it will
never slack its current till it sweeps the
rebellion into the Gulf.
If the rebel rout is so complete and
overwhelming as stated in the dispatches
of Gen. Mcclellan, then we have seen the
cad of rebel invasion in that direction
Our loss is not stated, but it is no doubt
heavy enough. tits to be hoped Mcclellan
will overtake the rebels before they get
across the river, which must now be con-
siderably flushed. If he does. what is to
save them from annihilation or capture?

General Milroy's Brigade Asking 10
Be sent Back 10 western Virginia.
The officers of General Milroy's Brigade
have petttioued to be transferred to wes-
tern Virginia. We trust the petition will
be needed and granted. The brigade is
composed nearly altogether of Western
Virginia men. They were recruited with
taeic if not distinct understanding that
they were to be employed in this portion
of the State. No doubt they went cheer
fully enough when led by Fremont in pur-
suit of jackson and they have since gone
through the severest service of any troops
in Virginia, and have suffered accordingly.
They have been in almost every fight aud
on almost every march of the army IN Nor
thern Virginia for the past four months.
They are veterans both in service and suf-
fering. Hundreds of them have never even
heard from their homes and families since
they left this part of the State. For many
of them, their homes have been des-
troyod by the ruthless gucrillas, aud their
families made fugitiyes.
Perhaps mot one half of the brave men
who crossed the mountains under Milroy,
are now alive to return. Those of them
not in hospital are now lying before Wash
ingtou, worn out aud decimated BY battle
and disease, trying to regain their exhaust
ed energies.
With the immense numbers of fresh
troops about Washington, our Virginia
troops there could well be spared No
better disposition of them could be made
than to send them out here, where if ever
they were needed they are needed now.
They mast be to great degree disheartened
and dispirited. Place them in Western Yir-
gfnfa, where they would be fighting directly
for their families and fresides, and it
would be hard to estimate the change it
would make in the men themselves. Not
only would it infuse new life and vigor
into them, but their presence here now
would inspire confidence among our new
troops, who have jast been sent to the
frontier counties, aud among our whole
people. These veterans in Western Viz
ginfa now would be worth thrice their

IT is reported in Washington that
several more notorious generals in our
army, who have held important commands
without using them, are to be relieved
from duty for the present, and possibly
for all time to como. A tremendous effort

command only such generals as have
proved themselves worthy of their pos

number of new recruits Besides, the vir-
ginia regiments, if sent out here among
their own people could soon recruit enough
to fill the terrible gaps in their ranks,
while if left where they are they could
scarcely ever hope to do SO at all. Those
regiments are needed here. There has
scarcely been a time when our borders
were more threatened; indeed actual inva-
sion has already taken place in the Kama
villa and is appreheuded from other points.
We need assistance most imperatively. IL
no other troops are to be sent in here we
trust our own Western Virginia soldiers at
least will be sent back where they may
fight for their own homes. Therefore, not
only as matter of justice to our Virginia
soldiers but as judicious move in a mill
tary point of view, We would say by all
means let the transfer of Gen. Milroy's
brigade to Western Virginia be made at
once.

An Infa m GUS Order.

The following is Gen. Buffers "Gen-
eral Order, No. 49," issued in New Or
leans
HeGiquarters of tie Dept. Of tie Guif, |
May Is, 1862.
As the officers and soldiers OF the Uni
ted States have been subject TO repeated
insults from the women calling themselves
Ladies Of New Orleans" in return for
the most scrupulous non interference and
courtesy on our part, it is ordered that
hereafter when any female shall, by word,
gesture or movement, insult or show con-
tempt for any officer or soldier OF the
United States, she shall be regarded and
held liable TO be treated rs CONAN Of tile
tOrn plying her GrOcatiO".
By command of
Major General BUTLER.
GEO. c. STRONG, a. A. q.
II more infamous and atrocious edict
was ever issued in a civilized community,
history has failed to record it. IIaynau
ordered Hungarian women to be whipped,
not for showing contempt" for his sol
diers, but for acts of hostility; but Butler
orders New Orleans women to be treated
as prostitutes, for "gestures or move
ments" manifesting contempt for his SOL
diers! Haynau's conduct has consigned
him to eternal iniamy; Buffers is ten
times as atrocious. If drunken soldier
insults a woman in New Orleans, and she,
"by word, gesture or movement" shows
contempt for him, she is TO be treated as
prostitute, by Gen. Buffers order! 1t
is net strange that this infamous order ex-
cited the greatest Indignation, not only in
New Orleans, but wherever it has been
read. Nor is it strange that it has arous-
ed the scorn and detestation of every civ
iIized community. Under no circumStan-
ces can it be excused or justified The
Administration, if it have any respect for
humanity, will promptly dismiss the Cen
eral who issued it.
