The Uszs or WHnKY.-It hes been suggested

from the nss of bsA whisky, supplied Vt the
critical moment BY their ofncers. II is well

liant st the battle Of Shiloh, a. did the Confed-
crate generals In the battles Of the Peninsuls.
Up 70 this time, there is no reason 10 believe
that alcoholic stimulanis we're employed by
the Confederate officers. Are We, therefore, IA
inisr that tho Subsequent hard fighting Of th-
rebels has some connection with the distrtbn
ton Of alcoholic stimulauts as arportion. O
their fighting rsions There ia plau,billty II
the suegsstion.
While We condemn the hsbitual use Of wh's
Ky In the army and believe It to be equally de
bilitatipg and demorslizng, its proper uss OF
the field Of battle is another thing. As g slim
ulsnt to courage or an antldote to exhaustion

ThE ENEMY's PLAN.

A correspondent Of the New York World.
from Frederick, who writes with great intelli.
gence, gives the following views, which CORE
spond with those taken BY us yesterday:
RETIREMENT OF THE ISENY YRoN FREDERICK.
They did not retire because We approached,
but In pursuance Of q plan OF operations fully
ing Maryland. They evacuated the place lei
surely, being fully four days about ii, no par,
Of their force being fastened by any collision
with ours, save their rear cavalry guard, which
was summarily put TO rout on Friday evening
THE PLAN.
The primary object was that avowed when
they crossed The Potomac-the invasion of
the free states; or, as the bastard Congress
at Riohmond terms 1t. advancing the stand.
ard INTO the enemy's country. To this
end they invaded Maryland, coming ma far
est o. Frederick-as far ss they dared-ard
bsde the spirit Of rebellion "arise !" but. Sc
cession leaven not being potent, the " rise y
was not visible. Their disgust at the apathy
of the oppressed Of my Maryland" was su-
preme, but 1t made no difference with their
movements. On Tuesday, the 9th inst. Jack
sons column moved for Hsgerst0wn, thence to
Williamsport, cro,s sing the Potomac, and on
Friday occupying Msrtingsburg, and appear
ing before Harper's Ferry. or course, he
went there to eject its capture. On Wedns-
day and Thursday Of last week, Longstrset's
corps moved to Hag'rstown, and remained
there. On Thursday and Friday, the corps OF
D. II. Hill and Anderson moved out into the
Middletown valley, between the Catoctin and
South Mountain. This was heir position on
Saturday night. The plan was to tortiiy the
gaps In the South Mountain, capture Hirper's
Ferry, and thus, with the control OF the val.
leys OF Virginia and Cumbsra land and "A bar
rier Of fortified mountains between them and
us, their incursions into Pennsylvania could be
made with ease and impunity.
