subjects of revenue and finance are now

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,l
Camp near Sharpsburg, Nd, Oct. 2.
GENERAL ORDER, 163.-The attention
of the officers and soldiers of the army of
the Potomac, is called to General Orders
No. 1879, War Department, September
Oath, 1862, publishing to the army the
Presidents proclamation of September
22nd.
A proclamation of such grave moment
to the nation, officially communicated to
the army, affords the general commanding
an opportunity of defining specifically, to
the officers and soldiers under his COM
mand, the relation borne by all persons in
the military service of the United States,
towards the civil authority of the govern
ment.
The Constitution confdes to the civil
authorities, legislative, judicial, executive,
the power and duty of making, expound-
ing and executing the federal laws. Armed
forces are raised and supported simply to
sustain the civil authorities, and are to be
held in strict subordinatiOn thereto.
In all respects the fundamental rule OF
our political system is essential to the Sc
curity of our republican institutions, and
should be thoroughly understood and OBJ
served by every soldier.
The principle upon which and the OBJ
iects for which it should be employed in
suppressing rebellion must be determined
and declared by the civil authorities and
the chief executive, when charged with
the administration of national affairs, is
the proper and only source through which
the views and orders of the government
can be made known to the armies OF the
nation.
Discussions by officers and soldiers, con-
corning public measures determined upon
and declared by the Government, when
carried at all beyond the ordinary temper
ate and respectful expression OF opinion,
tend greatly to impair and destroy the dis
ciplne and efficiency of troops, by substi-
tuting the spirit of political faction for that
firm, steady and earnest support of the au-
thority of the Government, which is the
highest duty of the American soldier. The
remedy for political errors, if any are
committed, is to be found only in the ac-
ton Of the people at the polls.
In thus calling the attention of this ar
my to the true relation between the sol
der and the Government, the General
Commanding merely adverts to an evil
against which it has been thought advisable
during our whole history, to guard the ar
mics of the Republic, and in SO doing ne
will not be considered by any right-mind-
ed opinion, as casting auy reflection upon
that loyalty and good conduct which has
been so fully illustrated on so many battle
fields. In carrying out all measures OF
public policy, this army WILL of course, be
guided by the same rules of mercy and
Christianity that have ever controlled its
conduct towards the defenceless. .....

This swindle is proceeding under the auspices

Lincoln, of whose integrity there is no ques-

dishonesty in the scheme, anyway but if colo

is not the time to go into it. The Government
has quite enough upon its hands. Mr.. Thomp-

The following general order has been is

GENERAL ORDERS No. 16O.-HEADQUAR-
TIERS ARMY OF Potomac, CAMP NEAR
SHARPsBURG, MD, Oct. 8, 1862.-The
Commanding General tenders his congrat-
ulatiOns to the army under his command
for the victories achieved by their bravery
at the Pass of South Mountain and upon
the Antietam Creek.
The brilliant conduct of RenO's and
Hooker's corps, under Burnside, at Hun
ter's Gap, and Of Franklin's corps, at
Champion Pass, in which, in face of an
enemy strong in position and resisting with
Obstinacy, they carried the mountain, and
prepared the way for the advance of the
army, won for them the admiration of their
brethren in arms.
In the remarkable battle of Antietam,
we defeated numerous and powerful ar
my of the enemy, in an action desperately
fought, and remarkable for its duration,
and for the destruction of life, which at
tended with the most obstinate bravery of
the troops of Hooker, Mansfield, and Sum-
ner, the dashing gallantry of those of
Franklin on the right, the steady valOr of
those of Burnside on the left, and the vi
gorous support of Porter and Pleasanton,
present brilliant spectacle to our coun-
trymen, which will swell their hearts with
pride and exultatiOn.
Fourteen guns, thirty nine cOlors, Is, 500
stand of arms and nearly 5000 prisoners
taken from the enemy, are evidences of
the completeness of our triumph.
A grateful country will thank this noble
army for achievements which have rescued
the loyal States of the East from the raw
ages Of the invaders, and which have driven
him from their borders
While rejoicing at the victories which
under Gods blessing have crowned our ex-
ertions, let us cherish the memory of our
brave comrades who have laid down their
lives upon the battle fields, matyrs in
their country's cause, their names will be
enshrined in the hearts Of the people.
By command of Major Gen. MCCLELLAN.
