Tie Washington correspondent Of the

IF our army is crowned wiki victory before |

Judge Holt as SUCCESSOR to Secretary Smith.
Should any 1nishaps occur it may lead to recon-
et1nction OF the Cabinet and the recall Of Mcclel-

This item appears among the Associated
Press news Of yesterday. The reporter
who framed it seems very positive upon
his points, and they will bear in7estiga- |

acceptance to eitherrroposition. We can-
not sec why q Federal success should nc
cessitatc the reconstruction Of a Repubi-
can Cabinet by placing a Democrat in one |
Of the Departments. One would think that
in such a contingency as we all desire, the
Administration could afford to retain for
itself the pleasure and safety Of sur
rounding itself with constitutional advis-
ers selected from among its own friends.
This would not necessarily imply the ban
isbmcnt of men Of esteemed loyalty like
that Of Judge Holt from positions where
their influence might aid the Government.
But why in case Of success must Mr. Lin
coin be debarTcd from putting good
Northwestern Republican in the place va
Gated by Secretary Smith: We must con
fess We don't see it.
And again, in the other contingency ofa
defeat, why must Mcclellan be recalled?
Because Burnside fails once, (which God
grant he may not,} must he give way to his
superior in the line OF military failures,
who outranEs him in that dismal notori-

FROM FREDERICKSBURG.

FR0m RREDERICKSRURG
A cold chill came over the city yesterday
atthe receipt Of the afternoon dispatches, |
announcing that our army had recrossed |
the Rappahanrock, and with an appear
ance Of haste, and = confession Of peri, as
in the faceof an eager enemy. tits impos-
sib]e not to derive this from the scant dis
patches elsewhere published, in which it IS
apparentth much Is Withheld Ourarmy
is withdrawn from before the enemys
works. The movement took place by
night, and the cover of the darkness was
enhanced By a storm that hid the
movement from the knowledge Of the t
enemy until daylight revealed its
accomplishment. All got safely over,
says the dispatch, when the pontoons !
we're Withdrawn and the conditions Of !
Thursday we're resumed, as far as consist
ent with the fact Of an intermediate battle, |
which told more heavily against our ex-
posed forces than upon the too securely
entzenched foe.
We must await the details still in reserve,
before We can form an estimate Of what
has been accomplished, why more was
not accomplished, and what have been our
losses. That they were heavy, very heavy
cannot be doubted. That the obstacles to
Gen. Burnside's progress were more Sc
1ious than he imagined is fully declared
by this movement, which we canbut feel is
preparatory to a period Of delay, and pro-
bably winter quarters. 1t is useless to
comment where facts arc SO meagre
1t is Of no avail to regret what
has taken place. We may
indeed regret the long weeks of fine open
weather wasted before Burnside's vigorous
hand grasred the truncheon Of command.
We may regret the delay that held his
amy chadng before Fredericksburg, While
his spontoons were delayed, thus precipitat-
ing upon his campaign the harshyicissitudes
Of winter. But this is no occasion for mur-
mu1iug or 1epin1ng. We must believe our
troops fought well, and until We know oil,
receive the present movement as a wise
necessity, net all to be reckoned against
OUT cause One thing the Government
must not neglect. # ever defeat befa1ls

RThe Silver I.ats brouoht d0vn

~The Silver Lake brought down
on Saturday. about forty lousy scara-
mouehes taken prisoner at Fayette.-
Why such cattle should be taken at all,
is a mystery. Miserably poor. ig-
norant and stupid they look. as if but
two ideas occupied their brains-eat
and sleep. We should have added one
more-shooting down loyal citizens
Much more appropriate would it have
been to shoot down in battle as many
as possible, and let the balance run
1t comes to that at last. These crea-
lures will be transported to Columbus,
kept there for some time on better food
than they ever had in their lives. and
at last turned loose to practice their
bushwhacking deviltry over again
To have such animals amongst us at
this crisis. is unfortunate, and to spare
men enough to guard them to COlum-
bus. Is certainly not good policy.
While on this subject, we would like
to suggest to the Commanding officer
at this post. the propriety Of using as a
prison the old paper mill on 4th street.
1t is hrgsr, more retired, more con-
venient for supplying the men with
food than our Jail. which was built not
for traitors. but for men, the worst of
whom. compared with those now there.
might be considered honest and worthy.
Another thing about is. that he paper
mill is claimed to be owned by man in
Kentucky. of whose loyalty the commu-
nifty have great doubts. II our school,
houses, churches, and other public
buildings must be occupied as hospitals.
we see no reason why unoccupied bull
dings owned by non-residents should
be free from use. There is a good well
on the premises, which could soon be
made ready for supplying first rate
water. We only offer these sugges'
tions, because the present Commander
is stranger, and may not have been
made aware Of the facts.

The first exodus of the children Of
Ham from the land Of bondage. reached
this point on Monday last, in a feet Of
skiffs and battesux. They numbered
about 500. As many more are yet to
come, it is reported. How these crea-
lures are to live over winter, is hard to
tell. Humanity will not allow dumb
brute to perish. Shall the color of the
mans skin be the excuse for excluding
him from the right to exist! A num-
Der of white persons are among them,
driven out from their own homes by Sc
cession.
Thus an classes are made to suffer.
Union men are driven from their quiet
homes by Secesh, the latter in turn
driven out by Unionists. It looks as
IL little less than a war Of extermina-
ton will ever settle the difficulty
Slavery has been the cause of its own
destruction. Nevertheless it is all
charged to Abolitionists. We should
not be surprised to hear even in Gallipo-
lis, that this crowd Of darkies lad all
been stolen by the Abolitionists. Try
it on--ladies.

Heeu. Hill Of NORTH oarolina,

HG Gen. Hill of North Carolina,
was in command Of the rebel force
which passed through Frederick. He
halted his command on the main street,
and made proclamation that they came
as friends and not as enemies, to re-
lieye the people Of Maryland from the
tyranny BY which they were enehained,
that they did not propose to disturb
private property, and that whatever
stores they might require would be paid
for in Federal or Confederate notes as
the people might prefer. They bad a
good supply Of United States Treasury
notes, which, doubtless, were the pro-
ceeds. of their system Of riling the
bodies Of the dead on the battlefield.
To show the friendly character Of their
intentions, foraging parties then went
out in every direction and seized all the
sheep. hogs. beeves. COWS, and horses
they could obtain, driving them back
across the Potomac, as supplies for the
main rebel army in Virginia. These
"puTchases" were paid for partly IN
Federal money. supposed to be counter
felt, but mostly in Virginia and North
Carolina money. In the city q rebel
Provost Marshal was appointed. who
ordered all the stores to be opened.
that the Confederate soldiers might pur-
chase all they wanted, shoes and clo-
thing being their particular need. OF
course the store keepers were obliged
to take any trash that was offered in
payment. for the rebels came with
words Of friendship and promises Of
protection en- their lips, but always
plunder and pillage as soon as they
have obtained undIsputed control Of
any place. In the language of Peru
Wan Rolla, "they offer us their protec-
tion! such protection as the vulture
gives the lamb, covering and deyouring
them!'
