why did Burnside Cross the Rappnhnn-

why uld BurnsiGe cross the hnppnhnn-
Fa- mock
Since the disastrous assault upon the
enemy's works at Fredericksburg, many
persons have questioned the generalsbip
which crossed the Rappahannock at all, to
give battle. The New York Times gives
the following good reasons for the move
There are some men who can not under
stand why Burnside crossed the Rappa-
hammock, Let US try to enlighten them:
l. To determine the positions, force and
purposes Of the rebels by actual contact !;
the only sure way in which it can be done.
And he has done it effeetually. he now
knows exactly what he has to do, and how
to do it.
II. To keep them from running away
secretly, and leaving Tin in the lureh,
while they were erecting new Gibraltars
and labyrinthine traps in the maEy eoun-
try about the head waters of the Psmun-
key. 1t is only by attacking that he can
tell whether they are there or not.
III. To sid any diversions which were
being made in his favor, and to hurry
them upj making haste and energy neces-
saFy to useful cooperation. As long as
he delayed subordinate movements would
drag. His movement is the torch to FIRE
the whole train
". To take advantage Of this God-send d
Of weather, in which men can fight with
out freezing, and keep warm without Es-
quimaux shelters. A few days, and the
winter wind-god, froWning through murky
skies, may bind man and nature hand and
foot, and put an end to attack or defense.
Every days hne weather should be used
vigorously, for its continuance cannot be
counted on.
Y. To employ eager troops, who would
be disgustsd at delay, disheartened by
want Of system and energy, demorallzed
By inaetion. Had they gone into winter
quarters, with all their work still before
them to be done, before the spring that
army might be more dangerous to itself,
and, indirectly, to its cause, than to the
enemy. The way to make soldiers good is
to put them under FIRE the way to keep
them 50, is to keep them constantly fight
ing. EIE T.#1
VI. To take Richmond, or at least to do
all that can be done to that end. Yes,
that was the reason why he crossed the
Rappahannock, and which he never could
have done had he remained on this bank.
As simple as 1t may seem, there are some
men who do not understand it yet
These are, Il our judgment, six good
reasons for Burnside's movement. Tofnd
them caused US little thought and no
trouble. If any Of our readers are not
satisfied with them, we have six more still
more cogent in reserve. But If, as We
hope, Burnside moves forward successfully
and tfiumphahtly, no reasons will be
needed. His movements will transcend
them ell, and give US new avenues of
thought, and new subjects for discussion.

The Rsbel aIaury eolng @ Ru.sia.

The Liverpool Mercury, special organ Of
the sseessionists in England, announces
the arrival out of Matthew. Marry, whose
departure from Halifax was reported some
days since. Maury goes a rebel Commits
siOner to Russia. The Mercury says:
Commissioner Maury 1.-THE author Of i'm
pOrtant and familiar works on ocean cur
rents, local winds, Sc, arrived at this
port from Boston on Sunday in the steam
ship Arabia We understand that he. win
proceed to st. Petersburg as Commissioner
from the Confederate Ststes to Russia.
Several months since Commander Maury
published letter on the secession cues
ton, which evinced much ability and keen
perception. His devotion to the Southern
cause may be estimated from the fact that
when the war broke out he resigned an the
valuable appointments which he held under
the United States government and joined
the Confederates."

At last accounts, the sequel to the Order

the relief Of the poor.
On the 9Th inst an order was issued
prohibiting the landing of any person in

Paper stock from wood.

An old paper manufacturer writes with
great confidence and enthusiasm Of new
process for reducing wood to paper pulp,
which has been discovered BY Professor
Chadbourne, Of Williams and Bowdoin
Colleges. It depends upon a combination
Of chemical and mechanical principles,
BY which the woody fbres are alike
strengthened and separated from each
other. The process is pronounced by
practieal paper-makers and patent exami-
ners as entirely unique, and quite certain
in results. It involves no change Of ma
ehinery and no additional expense, except
for the pulp machine, which will cost from
fifty to cone hundred dollars. If no un-
foreseen difaeulty arises in working it on
q large scale, it will reduce the cost Of pa
per pulp to less than one-half its present
value, or TO some forty or fifty dollars a
tOn.z The inEention Is now In the hands
Of one Of the largest and most energetic
paper manufacturers In the country, q
patent has been applied for, and in due
timethe full value Of the process viii Be

SERGEANT AMBLER.-Ever since the break.
ing out of the rebellion, Sergeant Amber
has been active in his efforts to do all in his
power to render the Maine regiments effect
i've troops. We have spoken OF him 50 often
that our readers must by this time have
learned the substance of his history. Since
he was so severely wounded, he has done
much with the arm which he can still use,
to teach the sword exercise to the new regi-
ments, both officers and men. During q
large part Of the time the nine months men
were organizing at this place, he has been
upon the ground, although his health was
such that his physician warned him not to
exert himself overmuch, and has done great
deal Of good to them. Col. johnson OF the
2lst requests us to say that he feels greatly
obliged to him for the instruction he has
himself received, and that impaired to the
officers and men Of his command by Mr.. Am.
bier. Few men during the war have done
more with less reward, pccuniarily, than he.
If thanks could make man rich, Sergeant
Amber would DO wealthy indeed. But, un.
fortunately, it takes something more sub
stantiai to support life. We hope his case
will not be forgotten by the Legislature

Notice to Subscribers.

We continue, this week, to send bills to our
subscribers, Of the amount OF their subscrip-
ton dues, and shall continue to do 50 from
week to week. till we have gone through with
the whole list, excepting saco and Biddeford.
We hope that our subscribers in these two pla-
ces will call at our Office.
The increase in the price Of paper and all
kinds Of printing materials, and the decrease
Of job-work and advertising, oil render II more
necessary than ever for US to depend upon the
prompt payment Of subscriptions to the paper
We trust that our subscribers will, so soon rs
they shall receive their bills. Immediately remit
US the amount. By so doing they will enable
US to make the paper more interesting and use
full to them. Payment may be made at our Of
fee. or sent by mail, directing to "Union &
Journal" Biddefori, Maine. BY renting as
above, we shall be saved the expense of en-
ploying q collector, which we cannot afford to
do. In all cases we shall acknowledge the
amount received by sending the subscriber q

Homo Efforts.

Mr.. EDITOR Your remarks in last weeks
issue relating to Home Lectures deserve we'll
the attention Of some, il not all, Of our cit
liens. There are many reasons why Lee

tanned in place Mo Biddcford, and said
reasons may not be contained in this connec-
ton but it is safe to believe there are enough
residents inclined to favor such home indus

Our people arc given moro to searching
after the dollar than any nugget Of knowl-
edge, and seven by nine theatrical will
command larger audience than q concert
by Gottschalk, but such need not always DO
the case. Charitably, perhaps, we may ae-
count for the large attendance always given
to ihird.ratc shows in the absence Of some
thing better to attend. There is larger
part Of tho floating population which will
patronize some entertainment, and II it Is
not better kind, 1t will be inferior; yet wo
believe that If the better is provided, 1t will
not be long before such will DO tho PREVAIL
ing kind. Is not the consideration sufficient
ly valuable to induce some Of our enterprise

But If such coursc fails to DO adopted,
can there DO no way suggested to spend our
winter evenings by written and forensic eff
forts, "blessing him who gives and who re-
ceives?" 1t is no compliment to the enter
prise OF the two towns that. neither in this
city nor in the dreamy land Of Saco does
there exist any lycoum or society for literary

HEADQUARTERS Army OF TIE PoToNAc,
WARRENToN, Nov. l0-Eyening.
Gen. Mcclellan was to have left yesterday
for the North, but the transferring OF a
command like this could not be accomplished
in day, and he was, therefore, compelled
to remain. At O'Clock last evening all the
officers belonging at headquarters assembled
at the Generals tent, to bid him FAREWELL
The only toast given was by Gen. Mcclellan
"The Army of the Potomac"
Gen. Mcclellan and staff, accompanied by
Gen. Burnside, to-day bid farewell to this
army, visiting in succession the several army
corps. As the General rode through the
ranks, the tattcrcd banners Of the veteran
regiments were dipped to greet him, while
the thousands of soldiers gave vent to their
feelings in continuous rounds Of cheers and
applause.
The General and Staff will leave by special
train tomorrow for the North.
The following order was issued by Gen.
Burnside on taking command of tho army.
In accordance with General Orders No.

States. l hereby assume command OF the
army OF the Potomac. Patriotism and the
exercise of my every energy in the direction
of this army. aided by a full and hearty CO.
operation of its officers and men, will, hope,
under the blessing Of God, insure its success.
Having been sharer Of the priyations, and
witness of the bravery of the old army OF
the Potomac in the Maryland campaign, and
fully identified with them in their feelings OF
respect and esteem for Gen. Mcclellan, en-
tertained through long and most friendly
association with him. feel that II is not M
stranger I assume command. To the Ninth
Army Corps, so long and intimately asso-
ciated with me, need say nothing. Our
histories are identical. With dilIidence for
myself, but with proud confidence in tho
answering loyalty and determination Of the
gallant army now entrusted to my care,
accept its control with the stcadfast assur-
ance that tho just cause must prevail.
