How Gen. .McClellan's Plan OF Campaign
Strikes the Confederates.

The plan is worthy Of the genius of
Marlborough or Napoleon. 1t is be.
wilderingly stupendous, and I think
the Yankees will find it so. Let US
take soundings and see how, if sue
cesstul, the plan will operate. Buell.
is in Kentucky with his mighty host,
waiting to advance upon Nashville.
Zol!icoffer and Crittenden have fallen
back to East Tennessee. The Virgin.
ia and Tennessee Railroad is thus in
jeopardy. Selling this the first part
OF the programme is complete. Buell.
may then turn his forces eastward
through East Tennessee and Western
Virginia, and threaten Richmond from
the southwest. Meanwhile Burnside
has possibly located himself at w eldon,
North Carolina, seized the railroad
there. cut US off from the South, and
threatens Beauregard from that direc-
ton: The moment Beauregard turns
himself from either of these armies,
Banks and Mcclellan make their ad,
vance from the front; and thus totally
isolated and imprisoned, we are ex-
pected to fall an easy prey. Sherman
is then to strike in South Carolina,
Butler seize Jackson, Mississippi, and
Halleck immertalize himself bv = de.
scent upon New Orleans via the Faith
or of Waters.
Such, am confident, is the scheme
Of the demonstration which is, in the
language of Nc Clellan, "to make a
short and desperate war;" Thirty
days more will determine the crisis.
To be successful, the Northern armies
have in that time bloody work to
perform. IF they fail, the war is ter.
minated er necessitdtc. 1t is the dying
effort of the hydra-headed monster al.
ready struggling in the folds of disso-
lstien. But will it fail The Bunsids
expedition, the keynote of the gigan.
tic undertaking, has been dispursed to
the four winds Of heaven. Babel-like,
confusion is upon it. 4a@-.zzHa<- :e~7>es..
Looking to the past, msy we not
predict that Baell will meet with the
same fate, Picayune Butler do. :; Hal

While men in arms were thick around;

RECEPTION OF THE News BY Nc
CLELLAN AND SrANroN.-When Gen.
Mcclellan received the dispatch an
nouncing the fall of Fort Donelson, he
was sitting III his private room, with
Governor Curtin, Of Pennsylvania, the
latter consulting relative to the dispo.
sition Of ten Pennsylvania regiments
still at Harrisburg. The General apol-
og'zed for reading the dispatch, which
he did with a strong and suppressed
emotion. Gen. Nc Clellan then took
the dispatch to Secretary Stanton on
foot through the rain. There were
some three hundred spectators Assem-.
bled at the War Department. Gen.
Nc cClellan, in breathless haste, barely
announced the fact, when Secretary
stanton threw up his hat and proposed
three cheers, which were given amid
the greatest excitement. ..l

cceded in joining his forces with Beau
reguard or wonld so join early the ne xt
day; furthermore, that on hearing of
this, the President called on Gen. scott
and insisted that the advance to Man.
asses should not de made. Gen. Scott,
however declared that the movement
should 60 in spite Of the news commu-
nlcated. Covode denied Blair's state
ment, but he reiterated it, and desired

A FAMILY FoE EsBUsnIEss.-The combina-
ton eF- emPIoymeRts to be found in soms
parts Of the city, is an interesting study
We passed a small house on St. Clair street,
this morning, where the proprietor was
" shoe making" IN one corner, his wife was
doing washing which she had "taken in, - in
another, and their little girl was dealing ont
lager beer from q bar in the rear ofthe room.
Near where the lord of the establishment sat
was BARRIERS chair, in which he shaved such
customers as desired it. Over the door was
a sign reading saws fled hear" and anO-
tbsr, /" musick for parts" We thought We
saw in the back yard a set of whitswash
brushes and fish cart. Wonder if, in the
multiplicity of emplOyments, this man don't
get confused sometimes9 Ifsbsent-minded,
won't he occasionally lather a customer with
the whitewash brush; and shave him with his
shoe knife; or sharpen his razor with fls
and whet saw on the. razor strOp; or ped
die of his customers shoes and " tap" pair
of whitehsh or 'strse OuP' bsOt on his i'd
die, and take his lap-stOne to ball; and
don't his wife draw suds for beer and wiring
out her clothes in lager for "rinsing''? We
fear that family has got too many irons in the

81. LOUIS, Nov. q.
Adviees have been received that the en-
emy in the Southwest had advanced, 15,-
900 strong from the Boston Mountain to
Cave Hill, apparently intending to give
battle. Our forces under General Blunt
learning that the enemy was at Cave Hill,
Blunt made preparations to move upon
him, but soon found, as if apprised of the
fact, that the rebels had withdrawn and
again retired to the mountains. This is
all the intelligence at present received
relative TO this movement.
General Sehofeld has received a tempo
rary leave of absence from his command
on account of sickness, and is now on his
way to st. Louis I
Brigadier General German has been in
structed to report for orders to General
Curtis and will shortly arrive.

ACCIDENT FROM PIsroL SHoT.-A hand
on board some schooner in the River, named
Patrick Mark or Mank, had his little finger
shot of, in the vicinity of the Lighthouse
Street Bridge, this morning, by the accident
al discharge of a pistol which he had in his
hand. The ball came very near being fatal
to an old woman who was passing, for after
carrying away the sailors finger it lodged
= in a market basket which she was carrying
on her arm, breaking plate in the basket
on which she intended to get some butter at
the groeer's. If she had not had the basket,
the ball would doubtless have penetrated her
side, and perhaps killed her. She was not
startled by the discharge of the pistol, and
was seemingly Indifferent to her narrow es-
cape from death, but was terribly angry when
she found that her plate was broken. The
sailor, grasping his shattered finger, started
for doctor, and the old woman followed him
several rods, mingling demands that he pay
for the broken plate with expletives more
boisterOus and violent than polite. The
sailor paid no heed to her. BE thought, pro-
baby that be had paid dearly enough for
his carelessness without paying for broken
plates

NEW I 1ORK, Nov. Il.
A dispatch 10 the Times, from Washing
ton the 20th, says:
Governor Yates and Congressman Ar
mold, of Illinois, had an interview to-day
with the President in relation to widening
the Illinois and Michigan Canal SO as to
admit the passage of gunboats from the
Mississippi river to the Lakes, asking the
President to recommend the project in his
forthcoming message.
Governor Yates urged upon the Presi-
dent the necessity of standing by tie re-
cent Emancipation Proclamation if he
hoped for rpeedy suppression Of the re-
bellion. The President replied that he
was as much determined in his course now
as he had ever been.
Governor Yates protested to the Presi-
dent against the arming of Illinois troops
with arms Of European manufacture.
The Times Falmouth dispatch says yes.
terday the rebel pickets made their ap-
pearance on the opposite bank of the river,
and are now within easy musket range
Last night the rebel pickets had the au-
dacity to venture upon the Orange and
Alexandria Railroad and burn bridge
near Catlett's Station.
Scouts report the rebel General Early
at Shepherds Mills with 5000 men, and
General Markall near the same place with
a like number, and rebel force of 10, 00C
men near Ashbys and Snicker's Gaps.
A refugee just in says q rebel force oi
5000 men was in Warrenton on Tuesday
night. Last night they had advanced as
far as Gainesville.
Aspecial states that 100 officers absent
from their commands without leave, being
the first installment of the 1000 who are
marked for dismissal, were yesterday
struck from the rolls of the army, and
their names will be published in a general
order stating the offences of each, which
order will be sent to the Governors of all
loyal states for publication in official state
journals, and with directions that none oi
the men so dismissed shall ever hereafter
be commissioned
The Herald special, under date of Wash
ington the Doth, says;
We have reports frem the army along
the lines tonight, but nothing important
has transpired StoneWall Jackson is re-
ported to be threatening Sigel, and Lee
skirmishing with Burnside. Nothing de-
cisive has been accomplished.
The Press report says:
Information from the army of the Poto,
mac to-day is to the effect that the rebel
cavalry approached WarrentOn recently tc
reeonnoitre, but General Pleasanton's cav.
airy gave them a severe check near that
place.
Accounts from Falmouth dated o-day
state that during Yesterday afternoon the
enemy's piekets were scattered along the
bank Of the Rappahannock and conversed
freely with our men, but no firing took

FROM PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20.
The Washington Star of this evening
says:
The Navy Department has information
Of the recent capture of the steamer Cali
fornia from Mobile bound for Havana
loaded with about thousand bales of cot
ton. She was captured by the Montgomo-
ry. The information was brought by the
United States steamer Connecticut.
The Star also has the following:
AQUA CREEK, Nov. 19.-The construc-
ton corps is doing its best to have the
railroad repaired, but the preliminary
preparation Of material for repairs, which
should have been made, have been sadly
neglected.
The rebels being undisturbed in this
quarter, after our evacuation of Freder-
icksburg, improved their opportunity to
carry off all the telegraph wire, iron rail,
railroad chain, &C., that they could get
away, as well as to burn oil the buildings
as thoroughly as possible The conse-
quence is that much larger supplies of
materials have been found requisite here
for repairing the roads disabled by the
rebels

FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

NEW 1ORK, NOV. Il.
The following was by some mistake for
warded to Washington, and thence to this
city, being first received here to-day:
NEwBERN, N. c., Nov. IA.
The recent expedition under Major
General Foster left Washington, N. c., on
the Sd inst, about 5000 strong, to make a
reconnaissance in force towards Weldon,
and with the purpose of taking the towns
Of Williamson and Hamilton, and de-
stroying the strong and extensive rebel
fortifcations in that vicinity, and also to
interrupt the reported construction Of iron
clad vessels at these points on the Roa-
noke river.
The rebels some 1900 strong made a
stand at Little Greek, whence they were
repulsed with slight loss. The expedi-
tion pushed on overland to Williamson
and Hamilton, which were found very
strongly fortified. The entrenchments,
some three miles in length, were taken and
destroyed. The rebel force was success
fully hanked, but escaped being bagged by
hasty fight.
The iron clad vessels were discovered
Our total loss was six killed and eight
wounded. The Fortress Monroe CORES
pOndent of the Philadelphia Enquirer is
now under arrest for furnishing that paper
with premature and exaggerated accounts
Of this expedision.
The enlistment Of North Carolina Union
Volunteers progresses satisfactorily. Two
additional companies have been raised on
Cape Hatteras.
An intelligent man just from Murfrees-
bOro, N. c., says that it is currently re-
ported that JEFF. Davis is debating the pro-
priety Of an abandonment of the Codfede-
rate jurisdiction over North Carolina. A
serious difference exists between him and
Governor Vance. Davis has sneeringly
called North Carolina dead weight to the
Confederacy.

OLD AGE NE'ER cooLs THE DOUGLAS
BLOOD. "A couple ofirascible old gentlemen
came near having fight at the depot this
morning. They got of the Toledo train,
and laboring under the common delusion
which seems to possess all travellers when
they reach the depot, to wit that they must
hurry within an inch of their lives or they
will be left by the outgoing train, they made
for the Lake Shore cars. One old gentleman
accidentally thrust his cane between the legs
of the other old gentleman, and threw him
down. Then the first old gent. stumbled over
the second old gent, and fell sprawling also.
Both got to their feet and got mad about the
same instant, acting as irascible old gentle
men will when excited. One shook his fist
at the other and asked, how dared he stick
his cane between his legs and throw him
down? and the other raised his cane in
threatening manner because the other had
caused him to stumble in the way be did.
They disappeared in a car, still erimsoned
with rage, one continuing to shake his fist,
and the other holding alOft the impending
cane. We hope they came to an explana-
tion before they reached Buffalo, and got to
be warm friends. They were sufficiently
sSarz as strangers. arst a..

PARoLED SOLDIERS There are about
i've thousand paroled soldiers at Camp
Douglas, Chicago, who were captured
at Harper's Ferry. Arrangements have been
made for exchanging them, and they are to
be sent forward to Washington for that pur-
pose as rapidly as possible. Two trains,
containing about regiment ofthese soldiers,
reached Toledo about FIVE O'Clock this morn

by the Cleveland and Pittsburgh and the
Pennsylvania Central roads. The most of
these paroled soldiers belong to New York

A CHAEoE.-The struggling row Of low,
uneven buildings near the foot of St. Clair
st. hill, have nearly all been vacated of late.
They were mostly occupied by negroes and q
low variety Of the white population. Each
particular tenement had bar in it, which
was provocative of 'dIunks and disorderlies, ,
both day and night. They arc all empty,
now, and there is a vague report that they
are to be torn down and a brick structure
erected in their place. Itwould improve the
appearance Of the locality greatly if such a
thing should be done.
