Nor is there a mechanic who could not add some

ofhe Hall should be lined with articles especially
in the province OF the Ladies. Paintings, Draw

and city who are never backward in any good
work will not neglect this department Of business.

THE PRESIDENT AT FREDERICK.

FREDERICK, Oct D.
President Lincoln made a call upon the
wounded of General Hsrtsuf, and soon af-
ter left for Washington amidst the cheer
ing of throng of citizens and soldiers to
whom he returned thanks briefly as fol-
lows:
FELLOW CITIZENS Il am surrounded by
soldiers, and little farther Of, by the citi-
zens of this good city of Frederick. NeY-
ertheless, can only say, as did five min
utes ago, that it is not proper for me to
make speeches in my present position. 1
return thanks to our soldiers for the good
service they have rendered, the energy
they have shown, the hardships they have
endured, and the blood they have shed for
this Union of ours. And I also return
thanks, not only to the soldiers, but to the
good citizens Of Frederick, and to the good
men, women and children Of this land Of
ours, for their devotion to this glorious
cause, and Isay this with no malice in my
heart towards those who have done other
wise. May our children and children's
children, for thousand generations, con-
tinue to enjoy those benefits conferred up
on us by united country, and have cause
yet to rejoice under those glorious institu-
tions bequeathed to us by Washington and
his comPeers.
Now, my friends, soldiers and citizens,
l can only say once more, farewell.

Tribune's special;
Colonel Hamilton, of Texas, has been
urged for the position of Military Cover

mander of the Army the two to go to-
gether with division of soldiers and
$4,000 armed citizens, the former to take,
and the latter to hold, occupy and culti-
vate the soil of that State This expedi-
ton is intended to cooperate with that of
Eli Thayer to Florida. 5000 men have
already offered themselves to Thayer, and
a wealthy ship-owner of New York yes
terday preferred three first class steamers
for the enterprize.
Three rebel flags taken at the battle Of
Antietam will be presented by represent

We are assured by those who should
know that revelations yesterday in the
Court of Enquiry, and those yet to appear,
will demonstrate that the widely-published
order from Miles TO Colonel Ford, instruct
ing the latter to hold on to Maryland
Heights till the cows tails come off, is
forgery; that Ford left his position against
his wish, and in obedience to positive or
ders, and that Miles alone of the officers
at the post was responsible for the disas-
ter.
The British steamer Dispatch, libelled
some time ago in civil suit for $50, 900,
and placed in custody of the United States
Marshal, in consequence Of the yellow
fever breaking out among her crew the
officers in charge were obliged to leave,
and left her under charge of cutter, with
instructions not to let her escape. Friday
night Captain Benjamin Buck, of the Dis
patch, went aboard the cutter and told
her Commandant that he was going to sea,
and that they might fire at him and be
damned, that he would have to sink him
and twenty-six souls beside before he
would stop.
Saturday morning the Dispatch got up
steam and proceeded down the bay. The
cutter fred three or four shots at her
which she didn't heed, when the Fort was
signalled Two shots were fired at her
bow from Fort Lafayette. The Dispatch
then hove to under the guns of the Fort,
and yesterday was towed back to Quaran-
tine, and anchored under the cutter Craw-
ford.
It is confidently ascertained that Lees
army is in full retreat. Reports that the
sick and wounded together with the can
non and stores have been sent up the Val
ley, are confirmed by so many sources that
there can be little doubt but they are cor
rect. The general opinion is that the reb-
els will fall back on Gordonsville and the
line Of the Rapidan river, where they can
be in full communication with Richmond.

To Major General II. W. Halleck: Gen

met the enemy to-day on the south side Of
the Hatchie, as understand from a dis
patch, and drove them across the stream,
and got possession of the Heights. With
our troops General Ord took two batteries
and about 200 prisoners. A large portion
of General Rosecrans' force was at Che

most favorable, and cannot see how the
enemy are to escape without losing every
