MANY FRIENDS.

From NORTHERN VIRGISrA.-The Rich.
mond Dispatch, OF Monday last, says: "All
the information that has come to hanl du.
ring the past two days gives us the assur.
ance that there is no immediate probability
Of a battle. The campaign. 80 far ms fight
ing is concerned, Is no doubt closed in
Northern. Virginia. The enemy does no,
seem disposed to attempt a passage Of
the Potomac in force in the presence Of our
army, and as the fall rains have set in. by
which the streams In that section are u,ual.
'y suddenly and greatly swollen, il is rca.
sonble to conjecture that he will hardly have
ue temeiiy TO put himself between our
army and the river"

~ The vote on the proposition to
tax slaves, which was had in the House
at Washington few days since, is sug-
gestive of what may be expected il
Vallandigham, Cox & Co., succeed in
recognizing the old Democratic party.
On this simple proposition, variety of
reasons were offered by many for voting
as they did. The ultra Abolitionists
Of the Lovejoy school, could not vote
for it. because thereby they would be
acknowledging slaves as property
The border State Democrats, as Car
Isle, Bayard, &C., declared that tax
on the niger would drive every Union
man in their States in the rebel ranks,
and therefore they opposed it. Vallan-
digham and his clique voted against it
because It might create fund to defray
the expenses of this war, out of prop
erty exclusively belonging to the South,
or in other words, they did not wish
their slsveocratic friends to be taxed
for the benefit Of those loyal States.
which not only furnished the men but
the money to crush out the rebels
Seventy-6ve Democrats and Abolition
lists voted against the tax on slaves, to
ffty-one Republicans for it. The peo-
pie will take note of it, however, and
If we mistake not, the course of these
seyenty-four will only serve to more
fully open the eyes Of honest men of
all parties, TO the danger Of allowing
any reorganization of the Breckinridge
Vallandigham Democracy.

From YoRKrowS.-The following is
from the Philadelphia Press of last
Friday:
The news from Yorktown is impor-
tant. Information received In the
Union camp estimates the rebel force
at 60, 900 men, with nearly 500 guns.
They have also several steamers and
transports which can carry reinforce
ments to them in an emergency. Gen.
Joseph Johnston, the commander Of
the Department Of Virginia, has ar
rived and taken command Of the troops,
who are said to be the "hower Of the
rebel army" In consequence Of the
uufaYorable weather. Gen. McClelIan's
column will not be in condition for
several days yet to commence the at
tack on the intrencbments, and no
doubt before that time the rebels will
have nearly 100000 men. Our troops
are confident Of victory, and desire to
emulate the bravery and endurance of
.beir brethren Of the West. the news Of
The glorious victories at Island No. 10

F In our last number we noticed
the capture Of lot Of whiskeY care
fully concealed in Jars Of lard, destined
for Kanawha. 1t seems the owner,
Elias Lawhorn, has cited detective
Cromley to appear before Justice Warth
to answer ION account of taking and
converting to his own use seven earth
ern jars containing lard, and divers
bottles of whiskey, to wit: One four
gallon, four three gallon, and two six
gallon jars, the property of plaintiff,
&c. This is decidedly rich. The
detective takes the "borns," and Law
horn the law--but we opine he will get
the claw in horn," or at least come
out Of the "small end OF the horn," if
be be not caught on the "horns Of the
law" But why not aim little higher?
Why not sue Capt. Moulton. by whose
direction the "captivation" was made?
Why trouble the officer who simply
discharged his duty? Capt. Moulton
will be happy to meet the pedlers of
"tsnglefoot," at any time or place, and
see that they obtain justice. But per-
hsps that is what they fear? We shall
advert to the case again, after the trial,
as we have no desire to bias the mind
Of the justice, by showing how imper-
atively necessary it is. in the present
crisis, that the civil power should not
attempt to overawe the military. espe-
cially in cases so manifestly wrong, as
furnishing whiskey to soldiers secretly.
The very mode Of concealment, shows
. consciousness Of guilt in the-hallo-
we are prejudging the case again-so
We say
To be continued. l.
