Something going on East.

The following is an extract from a let
ter dated at Norfolk, Virginia, Septem-
Der 20, and written by an officer of a
New York regiment: 81 am detailed
here at General Veile's headquarters on
special duty. My regiment is now on
the march for Richmond, which you will
hear from soon"
This may account for the movements
that have evidently been going forward
from Washington for some time past.
This may furnish the clue to the recall
of Sigel and Heintzelman from their
Thoroughfare Gap expedition, which had
but just begun when it was countermand-
ed. The advance from Norfolk upon
Richmond would be speedy and direct
Would it not be beautiful consumma-
ton of the rebel plans to lose their own
capitol in their attempt to capture Har--

1t was rumored about Washington ten
days ago, that formidable expedition
designed for Richmond, was under wav.
The fact may account for the absence of
some of our army corps from the battle

prompted man to vote SO univer-

gG-In our opinion no better evidence
could be wanting to prove that the 9Th
of-January leaders are friends of JEFF.
Davis and John c. Breckenridge, than
the nominees they have made throughout
this State for members of Congress.
In the Lafayette District this evidence
is peculiarly striking. Gen. Manson and
John Petit we're the candidates before
the Convention. Gen. Manson, as all
know, is an ardent Union man, was al
ways, and isyet a Democrat John Petit,
whom Tom Benton endowed with the
title D. d. (dirty dog), which soubriquet
he bears to this day, was breckenridge

By- Some idea of the amount of am
munition required to supply an army
such as McClellan's, during heavy
fight like that of Wednesday, may be
gained from the fact that thirty-eight
1857 tons of ammunition were forwarded
to General Mcclellan on Wednesday,
from Washington, Uia Baltimore, Harris
burg, and Hagerstown. An eyewitness
of the battle says he counted at four diff
ferent times during the day the number
of discharges from our artillery, and
found that they were made at the rate OF
! 10 to the minute.

OPINION OF A DEMOCRATIC SOLDIER
The Schuyler (IIl) Citizen publishes the
following extract from letter from Mr..
George Barnhardt, an orderly sergeant
in the 18th regiment Illinois volunteers,
now composing part of Gen. Grants
army. Mr.. Barnhardt is from Schuyler
county, and is Democrat:
This part of the country is almost all
secesh, with few exceptions We are
striking blow in the right place now, by
taking away their main prop-the mig
ger. 1t is hard pill for them to swal-
low. They complain great deal, but
the only answer they get from us is, !" 1t
is your own fault You sowed to the
wind and now must reap the whirlwind.
Our camps are full of darkeys. Each
company is allowed four. You know
how | stood on the niger question when
at home. My opinion is changed OF late.
| now say, free every slave in the South.
This is the the feeling of the army
here, and believe everywhere. The Sc
cesh say that Alabam is ruined, and ac-
knowledge that the emancipation bill
will do more towards bringing this war
to close than anything that has been
done yet. If the niger is gone they
will have nothing lett to fight for. AS
long as the slave is left they are all
right.

EDS. JOURNAL: In Wednesday morn
ing's telegraph dispatches, published in
the Journal, notice an account of the
exploits Of the iron-clad gun-boat Essex,
in passing up the river above Vicksburg
and after having attended to business re-
turned, treating the rebel batteries at
that place with perfect contempt
From late paper J obtain an inter
esting history in regard to the building of
this boat, the origin of the name and her
commander, with interesting exploits in
which she was engaged previous to the
one mentioned in the Journal
In the year 1912 the country rang with
plaudits over the exploits of the Essex,
commanded by Captain Porter Capt.
(now ommadore) William ID. Porter
named the iron-clad gunboat, which he
planned and was to command at the
West, The Essex.
The Joint names Essex and Porter are
renewing the glorieS they won in the wal
with Great Britain
The exploits of this boat almost appear
fabulous, and, this one especially, aston
ishing. Solitary and alone, she pursued
a rebel gunboat down past the powerful
batteries that have resisted our whole
feet at Vicksburg. Then she continued
down and reduced Natchez and Bayou
Sara to submission; then she engaged ;
battery of thirty-four guns opposite Por
Hudson, at a distance, one account says
of eighty feet, and another, eighty yards
distance (the latter, presume, is col
rect,) for about an hour, at the end Q
which time every rebel gun was silenced
She then proceeded on her way to Ne'
Orleans, arriving there with her iro
sides ali Scared bruised, and indenteC
but not perforated in single instance
nor was there any one hurt on board {
her. All honor to Commodore Porte
and his invincible gunboat ESSEX Lon
may she float, terror to the rebels an
guerrillas along the Mississippi! Oh,
we only had few more such energeti
and heroic commanders, with the sam
courage and energy displayed in all d
partments of our military service, tn
rebellion would be crushed in less tina
months. d.
