Ieat. Then the Times declared that the i'm
0ecility Of the administration had done the
mischief Then Greeley discovered that Thur
.'o~ weed had broken up the party. Then
sonSe OF the country papers announced that free
passes On the Central Railroad had beaten the
republicans. Then the Republican State Com
mttee asserted that poor Greeley had COM
pleteF used up his friends. Yesterday poor
Greeley retorts that the State was lost because
the voters did not subscribe for the Tribune.
These family quarrels are decidedly amusing.
Why not settle the question at once by admit
ting that The republicans were defeated by the
popular vote. This ought to satisfy all parties,
and prevent poor Greeley from putting his Tri-
b,ne at the expense Of his party any more. This
city, in which the Tribune is published, gave
the heaviest majority against the republicans.
That fact shows the effect of the Tribu,se's in
fuence But then the HERALD is published in
this city also, and had very large finger in the
recent political pie.

FoCR HUNDRED WAGoNLOADs OF NEGROES.-
1t appears that among the captures made by the
late successful expedition of Gen. Weitzel, from
New Orleans down the Bayou La Fourche, were
four hundred wagonloads of nsgroes-or say
four thousand contrabands, allowing ten to each
wagon. The rebels had been gathering them
up to carry them farther into the interior, or
perhaps to Texas, or perhaps with the intention
Of slipping them over to Cuba. AT all events,
found their way to his lines, Gen. Weitzel, with
these reinforcements of four hundred wagon
loads, left by the retreatng enemy, was over
whelmed with Africans. What was he to do
with them! He wrote to Gen. Butler to advise
and relieve him.
In response, Gen. Butler has issued bis in
structions; but we have yet to learn what they
are. He has probably recommended that they
be turned over rs free laborers to the legal
Union planters Of the neighborhood, or some
thinr of that sort. What else, under the pre-
sent laws OF Congress, is to be done with these
cumbersome legions Of slaves, as they continue
70 pour into the lines Of our advancing armies,
we cannot divine. President Lincoln, in view
Of his emancipation proclamation, will realize
the necessity Of some special recommendations
.on the subject in his annual message. If the
Northern States will not have these Southern
negroes, If they are not wanted in the army, and
II the colonization scheme has already collapseds
they must, under some new system, be retained
where they are found, or be turned adrift to
,ore their obance. We turn them over to the
special attention Of President Lincoln.

Tue IMPORTANCE OF Key WesT As MILITARY
AND NAVAL SrAToN.--When VIII our govern
ment fully realize the immense Importance Of
Key West as military and navA' station? Hpos-
sesses the same value to US that Gibraltar does
to the English; for while the latter Is the key TO
the Mediterranean the former is the key OF the
Gulf Of Mexico. Key West is the hea dquarters
Of all our squadrons and armies in 2 ne Gulf,
and must remain SO; for its geographical posi-
tion gives it advantages not possessed by any
other point on our Southern coast Its harbsr
is unsurpassed, and accommodations can al
ways be had for more than fifty thousand men,
should the government determine to send
them to that station in view of operations
further to the westward. The yellow
fever visits the place sometimes, but not
oftener or in more malignant form than at
Galveston, New Orleans, Pensacola, Savannah
or Charleston; and as for general health it far
surpasses either Of those places.
Key West should at all times be kept upon
war footing. The commander of the post should
be thorough military man, and it should never
at any time or under amy circumstances be lett
undor the control of such man as the present
commander-a man who is not q soldier, and
not capable of governing in any capacity.
Regular mail communication should be at
all times kept up between New York and
Key West as much as between New York
and Fortress Monroe; for one is fully as
important as the other. Key West is the great
harbor of refuge for all our Gulf commerce,
and for this reason, if no other, it should be at
once placed in condition, and kept so, to f
ford protection to the vessels of our merchant
marine who might by sudden hostilities be
compelled to seek refuge under the guns of its
Notifications.
We hope government, while watching and
protecting all other points, will not forget one
of the most important-Kcy West Let pro-
per commander for the post-for it must ncces-
sarily in future be under military control-be
sent there at once-one knowing enough to
return the salute Of q foreign man -ofwar--and
the place be treated in all respects as it de-
serves; for to lose Key West would be to lose
the control of the Gulf coast Of the United
States, and the means of affordng protection
to tho immense amount Of property afoat in
those waters.

A WINTER CAMPAIGN FOR RICIMoSD-No MA
IARA.-Since our attention has been drawn to
the fact that, after the first sharp frost, and
thence till the return Of spring, there is no ma
laria in the Richmond peninsula, we have be-
come convinced that the winter is the proper
season for an advance upon the rebel capital
We need not remind our readers that the in
tense summer summer heats, with their deadly sxhala-
tons from the swamps Of the Chickahominy'
were more fatal to the army OF General McClel-
Ian than all the casualties of all the bloody
battles Of that campaign. Had his troops been
favored with the splendid condition Of health
and physical activity of the present army under
General Burnside, we have no doubt that Gene
raj Mcclellan would have mastered ell other
Instructions, and celebrated his Fourth Of July
in Richmond. But the deadly fevers of the
swamps Of the Chickahominy, superadded to all
the other difficulties enumerated by the Prince
de Joinville, turned the scales in favor Of the
enemy
This powerful ally Of the rebels-ths summer
pestilence Of the Richmond peninsula-having
disappeared, now is the time for active military
operations in that direction. AS for the roads.
they cannot possibly be worse on the peninsula
than they were last summer. We dare say that
they will be much better in December and
January than they were last May and juno,
and that the frosts of winter will harden over
many slough sufficiently strong for artillery
which could not be passed in summer without
bridging. And, again, as in Southeastern vir-
gnia heavy snow storm is very extraordi
nary visitation, General Burnside has nothing
to fear from snowdrifts. But, above all, a.
winter is the only healthy season for our North
ern troops in the Richmond peninsula, we ex-
psct that General Burnside will avail himself
of this paramount advantage for decisive set
tlement With the rebel army in that quarter,
and move onward as fast as possible.

And there is a great panic in Richmond. No
wonder. Cut of at Nashville, invested at Savan-

be an impression that the government has i'm
posed no direct tax on the real estate of the
country. BY the law entitled "An act to provide
increased revenue from imports, to pay interest
on the public debt, and for other purposes"
passed on the 5tb of August, 1861, it is provided
'that direct tax of twenty millions of dollars
be and is hereby annually laid upon the United
States, and the same shall be and is hereby ap-

The law further declares that this tax "shalI
be assessed and laid on the value of all lands
and lots Of ground, with their improvements and
dwelling houses, at the rate each of them is
worth in money on the first day Of April, 1862"
There is provision, however, in the law which
allows the States and Territories to assume the
payment Of the amount apportioned to them
respectively. in which case deduction of fifteen
per cent is allowed The sum annually required
from the State of New York under this law is

Skirmish at Leesburg.

\ correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Hagerstown, on the 8th instant,
says:
:'While the train was waiting at Chambers
burg, deciding whether it was best or not to
come on, / met with an Old friend, a member Of
the First Maryland Home Brigade Cavalry,
stationed near Harper's Ferry. He informs
me that last Tuesday three companies Of them
were ordered to charge through Leesburg on
reconnaissance This affair proved very unfor-
tunate They were entirely surrounded, and
only fifteen Of his company escaped. !"
The n Y. World says:-"It is vulgar and
mischieyous error that brutal men and brutal
methods succeed best in campaigns and battles.

THE WAR on TIE PoroMAc-Brief die
patches from General Mcclellan report Sc
we're battle fought on Sunday at Bolivar, re-
sult:ng in the defeat of the Confederaes with
heavy loss, they retreating towards the river,

ity of which the battle occurred, is on the road
from Middetown to Hagerstown, and between
the first named place and Boonshoro about
four miles distant from each.
It appears that the portion Of the Confea
crate army which recrossed the Potomac at
Williamsport, cooperating with part of that
remaining on the Maryland side, attacked Co.
Miles position on the Maryland Heights and
obliged him to move over to the entertainments
at Bolivar Heights, about one mile behind
Harper's Ferry. 1t is reported that the Con-
federates were planting guns to bear on Col.
Miles new position. Later advices report that
fighting had been going on at Harper's Ferry,
but that Col. Miles sill held his position

Washington. Sept II, says:

and obliged him to eyacuate Maryland Heights,
Of which they had taken possession He was
strongly entrenchea on Bolivar Heights, how
ever, and felt confident of being able to hold
his position.
The dispatch also says:
'On the southwestern front Of the Federal
lines everything is at dead standstill, princi-
pally because there is no enemy to disturb us.

only remaining about Centreville and Fairfax
