Latest NEWS FROM TuE FRONT

Special Dispatchto the Washington star.l
GaintSpiIle, NoO. 12.
Nothing of particular Importance has
transpired here since Gen. Mcclellan en-
barked yesterday Oh the cars at this point
for Trenton.
The army, which is now massed in the
vicinity of Warrenton, has been at stand
still since the receipt Of the order transfer
ring the command to Gen. Burnside. On
the day preceding the night of its receipt,
Gen. Mcclellan announced to many of his
officers his belief that within three or -four
days, at iurlhest, he would fight the greatest
battle of the war, and gain victory TO-
the Union that would probably end the re.
| bellion.
| No one blames Gen. Burnside for the sud-
den halt in the army's then rapid advance.
Like one on a coach box, into whose hands
the reins are suddenly transferred by the
driver, while the stecds are rushing along
to dangerous point on thernad, he neccssa-
rily instantly draws up, that he may get the
"ribbons' fairly in his grasp, feel the bits
and learn something Of the difficulties OF
the road just ahead, before progressing
furthey This is the necessary course Of
ordinary prudence, though it may give the
rebel generals some days in Which to pre-
pare to receive the onslaught Of our army
they would otherwise have been deprived Of.
At present, Our advance is onlyupon the
north bark of the Rappahannock, though
Union scouting cavalry parties now and
then venture into Culpepper, from one to
five miles beyond the river. 1t is not be-
licved at headquarters that Gen. Joe john
son, now in command of the Rebels il Cul-
pepper, will venture to accept serious bat
tie this side Of the Rapidan. McClellan's
rapid progress for some days before his re-
moval prevented johnson from getting ready
to fight on tho Rappahaunock, where he
could also have had river in in his front,
crossing which under fire, would have more
or less embarrassed our attack and he has
made no demonstration Of purpose to re-
turn and endeavor to occupy the southern
bank which he cannot forlify in the least
with our artillery so near.
lie will hardly fail to avail himself Of the
defense of having the Rapidan in front o.
him, when the fight may come off. In th'
me mime, the considerable portion of thu
rebel army now between that river and Cor
louisville, is doubtless making the best pos
siblc use of the few days of our nccessar!
delay, in throwing up the deien'ss at th'
fords it was McClellan's eyidents siatentior
to prevent being thrown up; as the rdpidit.
of his last two days march shows.
Tuesday, the cars will travel the RAILROAD
all the way up to Warrenton--the repair
necessary to that end having been compile

Infamous Defamation OF the
Heroic Dead,

Why does "Frank Leslie's lllustrat-
ed Newspaper seem to entertain a
pencbant for maligning the memories
,ef the sainted dead. Public opinion
has not yet recovered from the shock
of the vile aspersions it cast on the
memory Of the reyered patriot Danie
Webster in an obituary of his sop
aColoncl killed in the Union army,
when in the issue of the 18th ult., in
an obituary of General Reno, in a dis.
gusting puff of New York Regiment,
it casts vile reflections on the memory
of as gallant officer as we have been
called upon to lament in this, or any
other war. 1t says, "He (Gen. Reno)
also commanded the expedition sent
10y General Burnside TO Camden, N.
O., and here it must be confessed that
his gcncralship was sofaulty, that moth
ing except the valor of the troops
saved himfrom total defeat. As it was,
the daring and dash of the 9th New
York, who carried the rebel battery
lat a heavy loss, compelled the enemy
to retire to Norfolk" The facts are
these, "his gencralship" was not
"faulty" for he ordered the 9th New
York under cover of the woods to
flank the enemy. which would have
bagged them all, and precluded the
possibility of "retiring to Norfolk" in
any capacity but that Of prisoners O
war.
But the "daring and dash" Of the
9th New York induced them, in op
position to the Generals orders, tt
charge across an open field, when thu
rebel battery pouring.a heavy fire int
their ranks, compelled them to fal
back in disorder, leaving the fall Q
the day to be decided by the othe
regiments. "Dcspite this gallan
achievment," says Leslie, "the Uniol
troops had to leave their wounded il
the hands of the enemy at little villag
called South Mills" The wounded
spoken Of, instead Of being left in tn
hands of the enemy, were left in charg

wounded of any account would hav
been sustained. -

From Charleston.
A Steamship. supposed TO be Iron Plated,
Runs tho Bioeitnde.

Boston, Nor. H.
The correspondent Of the Journah aboard
the gunboat South Carolina, off Charleston
0c' 18th, writes that the British frgate Racer,
by permission of Flag officer Green, had en-
tered Charleston harbor, and brought oil The
British Consul.
He says that the rebels have just launched
powerful ram. and that two more are all
ready for plating with iron, which they expect
every day from England in the iron plated
steamer. Lie also reports the Nashville as
lying in the mouth Of Stono Inlet waiting o
chance to run out. He reports over 200 cases
OF yellow fever in Charleston when he left.
The correspondent writes on the l9th.-
"About ten o'clock last night heard heavy
| firing to the northWard for half an hour, and
from the sound of the guns judged at about
eight miles off In the morning boat arrived
! from the flag ship, informing us that vessel
h / run the blockade.
The firing was from tho Flambeau, which
got under weigh before the steamer ran the
line olnthe blockade, and attempted to cut her
off, but she took no notice Of the Flambeau,
which fred twenty-five shots against her sides,
but they ratified off like hail.. and must have
been iron~plated, or the Fambeau's shots
would have gone through her, A very i'm
probable story.
She did not seem to mind them. but kept on
up the channel and run in. II is thought she
is the vessel the rebels expected with iron plates
for their new rams. If So We must expect hot
work before long unless we have something be-

THE sECEDERs CONVENTION.

PURSUANT to call published in the Blade, a
large number of delegates from this Congress
sional District convened at Toledo, yes erday
(Tuesday) forenoon, to nominate a candidate
for Congress. This call, it will be remembered,
was issued subsequent to the regular call of the
District and County Union Central Committees,
and was mostly signed by the Democracy.
About an hour before the time at which the Con-
yention was to be called to order, the DemoG-
racy and few " sore head Republicans, be.
came frightened least they should not be able
TO control the Convention to their own liking,
thereupon they got out and circulated hand
bill, announcing that owing to causes over
which they had no control, the real simon-pure
Uniouists had concluded to seoede from the
Convention which they had called to meet at
College Hall and that they would meet at Whites
Hall, inviting all who were opposed to the 2Srd
Convention to follow. This state of affairs be-
ing made known, the Democracy withdrew al
most in body, and with the aforesaid Repub-
licans, NET at Whites Hall, and nominated
Morrison X, Waite as the exponent of their
faith to represent this District in the next Con-
gress. Thus the secession policy of the Charles
ton Convention has been fully inaugurated in
the State of Ohio. 1t now remains to be seen
whether the free people of this District endorse
the doctrines which has put our nation upon
trial for its very existence.
