some difficulty and goo" deal 1T delay al
r. organizing this company, growing out
o. the uncertainty whether snch membrf,
of it as had joined other curps would be
compelled 10 return To it, and whether
numerous others who, lima ginning they had
been discharged for good and had found
other employment, can be compelled to
return TO the ranks. The late order Of
the War Department, however annulling
the previous order to discharge Colonel
Mulligan's regiment, and deciarin. the
men continuously in the service. has
smoothed over most of these difficulties
The men are now being rapidly collected,
and with a lot OF new recruits obtained,
the company must soon Ill up.
The order Of the Var Department falls
heaviest on Capt Hudson Of EarlviIle,
formerly Lieutenant in Mulligars re. J.

sistiug largely of Muligan men in Cu~h-

can resign his Lieutepancy, but the order
will denude him OF the bravest part OF hi

The Case Of the ssBlanche,,..Spain Oh
the Rampage.

Madrid Corr. of the Paris Patrie Nov s.
The affair Of the Blanche and Montgom-
cry threatens to assume serious proper
tons. Spain, in view Of the fratricidal
struggle of the United States, compre-
hends the weight she can throw into the
balance by opening the ports and arsenals
of the Antilles to the Confederates. Push
ed to extremes by her lively sympathy
with the South, she seems determined to
profit by the circumstances, and show her.
self as evangelic in language as in action.
Agreeably to orders issued by the Minister
of Marine, two frigates, two corvettes, and
two sloops-of-war prepare to reinforce the
squadron OF Havana, which, with this ad-
dition, and by summoning also the divi-
sions now at Vera Cruz and Montevideo,
will be able to muster a score of vessels
and 400 guns. However insignificant
these figures may be compared with the
resources of the United States, it cannot
be denied that in the relative situation of
the two countries, Spain, sustained by her
right and by public opinion, will be in a
position to embarrass the Nationals very
seriously, by joining their enemies. These
considerations cannot escape the perspica-
city of President Lincoln, and lead to the
belief that the government at Washington
will hasten to disavow the conduct of Cap
tain Hunter, and will yield all desirable
satisfaction.
Gen. Dulee, who sets out in few days
for Havana, has received emphatic instruc-
lions to act in the business with the utmost
rigor.

The following is from letter written by
an officer (whose name is not given) in
Gen. GRANTS army, to Senator GRIMES, of
Iowa:
HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF CORINru,l
CoRINTH, November IS, 1862. {
DEAR SIR: As | believe a mistaken idea
is becoming prevalent in the North as to
the effect of the Presidents proclamation
in the South, desire to give you a few
items. No doubt / am in position to
know as well, if not better than any one
else, of the feeling in Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi, as from this outpost we
have daily information from all these
States, and | assure you that the terror
that is created in these States is not and
cannot be realized by the North. They of
course dread the advance of our armies,
and have some hopes of checking them,
but as yet they have not discovered any
means of checking the widespread insubor-
dination that is showing itself among the
slaves. They have taken them from most
Of the public works. and almost entirely
from the army and directly south of us
they do not allow them to go to the cities,
towns, or near the railroads. Many plant
ers are leaving their homes with their fami-
lies for the cities, while others are taking
their slaves into other States AS our
armies advance, the slaves boldly leave
and come to us, and they are very uneasy
in the interior of Georgia and Alabama,
and, as the planters say, are of not much
account to work. know this to be So I
receive it in so many ways, and always the
same, that it cannot be otherwise. If the
policy is carried out faithfully, it y i'll de-
moralize their armies, for the slave owners
are clamorous to go to their homes and
families. Thousands are leaving without
any permits, and in utter defiance of their
orders and laws.

There is an amazing degree Of apathy on
the part of the public in regard to the pre-
sent face -to-face antagonisln ofthe Nation
al and Rebel armies, on TIE Rappahan-
mock. We cannot account Cor it on the
ground of unconsciousness of the position.
Every citizen of the loyal North who reads
knows that General Burnside has led bis
grand army by a sudden oblique move
ment, from the line Of the Blue Ridge to-
wards Fredericksburg, and that General
Lee, not at all blinded by the strategy. i'm
mediately hogan to concentrate his whole
army at Fredericksburgh to oppose him.
For ten days the two armies have been
confronting each other in force, only
narrow stream dividing them, and the
pickets indulging in colloquies, not unfre-
qnently within fifty yards of each other
Yet, with the campaign in Virginia
brought to this imminent verge, there is
no emotion, no excitement to catch the
first booming Of cannon in the dreadful
fight. There was never SO great degree
OF popular unconcern on the eve of gi-
gantic battle. If there were a universal
superstition that the converging of the two
armies towards Fredericksburg were all
sham, there would hardly be quieter look
out on their menacing positions in front of
that venerable town. We will not attempt
to explain the singular phenomenon we
have described. But certainly deeper
public interest would be more becoming at
such critical moment. Battles do not al
ways nor oftenest begin by generalization.
They Frequently commence most mex
pectedly to both combatants. A stray shot
"a misunderstood movement-an errone-
GUS order by a subordinate-any trihing
error, may precipitate conflict when OPP
posing hosts are placed as the two armies
are at Fredericksburg. Any moment we
may hear that blood is flowing in torrents
and the fate of the Union hanging on the
issue of the most sanguinary battle of the
war. No patriot has excuse to forget the
prayer, "God save the Republic ~.
