The COMMAND OF THE ARaY OF THE Po-
ToMAc.-The Buffalo Commercial A1ver-
tiser asserts as fact that when the Rebels
threatened Maryland the President asked
Gen. Halleck who should be placed in com
mand Of our forces to drive them back
The answ er was, Mcclellan. bnt on being re-
qnested to accept the position General Nc
Clellan positively refused, because he had
been SO hanpered in the past The COM
mand was then offered to Burnside, who de-
clined. saying that Mcclellan was the only
man for the place. Gen. Banks next re-
ceived the offer, but he too declined it for
the same reason assigned by Burnside. A
second interview with Mcclellan. in which
which Halleck told him it was his duty to
take the command, resulted in his ccept-
ance on condition that he should not be
neddled with. The Washington CORES
pendent of the Chicago Tribune also state
that the command of the army was in turn
offered to the above named generals.

New York, October %.

General Bragg has furnished an official
report of the battle at PerrvvIle. Ky, in
which he claims a great victory, which he
saws only for the approach of night, would
have been completed by driving our troops
from their position.
The Dispatch of the Oath says Bragg's
army has retired to safe position, which it
would be i'm, rudent to state. General
Bragg it SAYS, has secured 700 wagons
loaded with provisions, which have been
brought away in safety with his army. He
lost 2. 500 bbls. of pork, which was left at
Lexington and fell into the hands of the
Yankees.
Great dissatisfaction was felt among the
officers of Brags's army at the falling hack,
and many of them literally wept when the
ord or was given.

@The bankers andfun monsers have
become alarmed for their own safety, and
We learn that in various quarters they have
it contemplation to deny the constitutional
ity of the illegal tender" clause of the act
of Congress. They have made "their pile''
in getting these green backs upon the peo-
pie. under the cry that they were legal
tender. They have been redeemius their
own notes under the cry of illegal TENDER
paying depositors, &c. &C.. but now when
these green backs are returning upon them
in payment of money they have loaned to
their debtors. they begin to feel the force oi
their own practices. They have got at
decisions of .'loyalty" declaring the act oi
Congress constitution al, and every man who
dared express a doubt was at once denounced
as "secessionist, and sympathizer with Jen
Davis" Now they want the Courts to re-
verse their decisions; prove that the cry oil
legal tender SC, was all lie of their OWL
coinage, and leave the people with two OF
three hundred millions of these green
backs on their hands to whistle for their

GTThe following extract from decision
OF Chief Justice Marshal. touching Confsca-
tor. to be found in the 9TH Vol. Pet. R i, &c:
ut may not be unworthy Of remark. that
it is very unusual even in cases of conquest,
for the coGqueror to do more than to displace
the sovereign and to assume dominion over
the country. The modern usage of nations,
which has become law, would be violated
the sense OF justice and of right which is &C
knowledged and felt by the whole civliz ed
world would be- outraged. If private property
should be generally conf Gated. and private
rights auuuiled. The people change their
allegiance, their relation to the ancieLt
sovereign is dissolved, but their relation to
each other. and their rights of property re-
main updis;urbed."

THE INAUGURAL.-It will be rem EN- bered
that President Lincoln issued an inaugural
address upon taking his seat, The address
is upon record. and nearly every citizen has
read it. Mr.. Lincoln was very pointed in

lie said:
II have no purpose, directly or indirectly,
to interfere with the institution of slavery in
the States where it ISIS. | BELIEVE HAVE
NO LAWFUL RIGHT TO DO so, AND | HAVE NO

He said, further, in his inaugural address:
"Apprehensious seem % exist among the
people of the Sou hern States that by the ac
cession Of Republican Administration
their property and their peace and personal
security are TO be endangered. There has
never been any reasonable cause for such
apprehensoDs.''
We Gully quote these words to ask, has the
Constitution or the lawful rights" of Mr.

he right now? He was certainly wroDg in

Negro Colonization.

The Presidents scheme OF sending COLOR

listed the corporation of Senator Pomeroy,
appears to be aband oned. inasmuch as Secre-

apprehensions of the people of the Central
American States. in regard to the proposed

up to panic by the efforts of certain ILL
disposed persons, who have misrepresented
its objects, and that it will be advisable,
therefore, to suspend or modify the plans In
