HE Observation-Disclosures ity,where
portion of the rebel invading army is
now is sixteen miles north of the Poto-
mac, twenty-five miles south of the
Pennysyl|ania line, land thirty .three miles
from Gettysburg. Hagerstown, which
they were approaching atthe latest dates,
is twenty-three miles in a north westerly
direction from Frederick, and tweaty one
miles, we believe, from Chambersburg-
so that forced march of one day might
bring the rebel division within gunshot Of
two of oar principal border towns. We
shall hear thunder shortly--but we feel
pretty sanguine that the thunder bolts will
do more harm to the invaders than the
invaded.

Gen. Pope in a New Command.

Gen. Pope, 10 is now officially announ-
ced, has been relieved of his command Of
the Army of Virginia and been sent to the
Northwest, where he will have charge ot
the troops now operating against the saw
ages who were recently engaged in ,laugh.
tsring the people of Northern Minnesota
The fitness Of this new field Of opera
tions for Gen. Pope will be very generally
conceded. He will there find foemen not
only worthy of his steel, but adopts in his
own peculiar style or warfare. The Indi-
ans never trouble themselves about "bases
Of supplies or "lines Of retreat" and che
country they make war on must support
them. They agree also with Gen. Pope,
Secretary Stanton, and the radicals in
scorning "rose water" or "kid glove
style of conducting war. A "stern pol.
icy" is their delight, and hence they rob
and murder oil non combatant on their
line Of march, which, it will be remember
ed, was the very spirit of Pope's famous
orders in Central Virginia. General Hal.
leck, however, out Of an absurd defence to
the Christianity and civilization of the age,
did not permit General Pope to make use
Of the Sioux and Choctaw style of conduc-
ting war, and taen the enemy in q most
unhandsome manner gsin his rear every
time after his advertisement hat he did not
want them Ito see his back"
These savages also have very profound
contempt for ''strategy;" they believe in
the spirit, not Of the LORD, but of the
whi,key bottle, and when under its inAu-
cnee "move at once upon the enemy's
works" The parallel might be carried
much farther, but this will suffice. The
country may we'll rejoice if the Sioux meth
cd of cond ucting war--adopted by the
radicals, proclaimed by Secretary Stanton,
and put in execution by Pope--bc carried
to tho wilds Of the North west.

Mcclellan.

The Louisville Journal (Prentice's pa
peri has the following on tho subject oi
McOlellan's recent Reinstatement in the
command of our forces:
"The appointment of General Mcclellan
to the command of the army of Virginia
is, under all the circumstances, a glorious
vindieation of the most gifted and accom-
plished soldier. 1t needed not the acc a.
nation of the army, with the echoing plau
dts of the nation, to round off its glory
yet these it has.
"Now that, in spite of the calumny Of
zealots and of the railing of madoaps and
charlatans, the first soldier of the country,
if not the first soldier ofthe world, is once
more at the head of the army, the nation
may well breathe freer. The change is not
only guarantee of safety, but a presage
of victory. In the mingled joy and peril
of the hour, We will not stop to inquire
why General Mcclellan ever ceased for a
moment to be at the head of our forces in
Virginia, or how many of cur mischan
an that field have arisen from his retire
ment; it is enough for the present to know
that be is again in the station which be-
longs to him by the sovereign claims of
genius and Of character, and that he re-
assumes it amidst the joint applause of the
army and the nation.
awe believe there have been in the re.
cent fighting no blunders that he cannot
redeem-no reverses that he will not spec
Oily turn back in a tide of triumph
Such, assuredly, is our fsrvent prayer"

GENERAL McCLELLAN.-The presi-
dent has exhibited his good sense and
firmness Of character by reinstating Gen.
eral George B. Mcclellan in command OF
the army Of Virginia. No wonder that
Mr.. Lincoln has como to the conclusion
that such braggadocia Generals as Pope do
not suis to contend against the able strate-
gists who commanded the rebel army in
Virginia. If the plans of General Nc
Clellan had mot been interfered with,
Richmond would long ere this have been
in our possession, and the rebel army
driven from the soil of the Old Domin
ion. AS it is, we ore incalculabl worse
off than when the crazy clamor against
him fsrt began to gather force and strength.
That he will again bo equal to the ocoa-
sion we have not q doubt but the diff
cultias which now surround him would be
sufficient to crush any other man not
possessed ofthe ooolness, intelligence and
profound military sagacity which ho has
exhibited all through this terrible war.
The restoration of General Mcclellan
to the command is bitter pill to the Alb
olitionists in this vicinity, who have, all
along, been denouncipg him as an im6e.
ciai and coward, and some Of them had
the audacity to 60 step farther in their
maGgnity and charge him with being o
traitor! They are dumbfounded at the
action of the President, and curses, not
load but deep, are uttered agains. the Chiet
Magistrate himself.

A PATRIOTIC AND SENSIBLE PREACH
ER.-We have received letter on bust
ness, q few days ago, from a highly ro.
spectacle Minister, and pastor ofa charge
in certain portion of this county, from
which we make the following extracts:
~ would very much like to have your
paper. Politically, your sentiments are
my own. I always have, and hope al
ways may advocate Democratic measures
and principles. If minister las no right
to preach politics, he certainly has right,
at times to think politics. He must keep
pace with the times. The Democratic part
can and must save the country. So yon
think and so do I think"
We publish the above extracts to show
that ministers are not all fanatics. We
are opposed to introducing politics into
the pulpit in any shape or form, but iffan.
atical preachers Of the Beech and Chsever
School will not cease preaching political
heresies from the pulpit,it might result in
good, for right=minded and conservative
ministers occasionally togive the people
the benefit Of their views on political ques-
tions, in order to counteract the effect of
the teachings Of these misguided zealo.s.

The Stamp Act.

A new era in the commercial and busi-
ness affairs Of this county, will commence
on The frst Of next month, that being the
time fxed by law for the commencement
Of that portion of the United States tax
law, relating to Stamp duties. "On and
after the lst of October, there shall be
levied, collected and paid" reads the act
"Stamp duties, therein specified, on oil
age aements, contracts, checks, drafts, bills
Of exchange, conveyances, deeds, mortga.
ges, leases, contracts for hire or use of
land, powers of attorney, ware house re-
ceipts, legal documents, writs, summonses,
&C., &c., excepting those issued by Justices
of the Peace, and in criminal suits
This is o mode of taxation entirely new
to tbe.people of this country. The attempt
by England to impose what Is known as
the "Stamp act" upon the colonies, just
previous to the breaking out Of the Revo-
luton in 1879, was determinedly resisted
by them, and was one Of the prime causes
of separation from the mother country
After the lapse of nearly century, this,
one of the most edious of all methods Of
raising revenue, is to be restored, to
remain, a check, and trsmmcl upon the
commercial prosperity of the anglo Amer
lean race, in all probability, for o longer
period than they have been free from that
incubus. To o people SO long accustomed,
as ours have been, to free and uutrammeled
commercial intercourse, this restriction
will at all times, seem burthensome and
oppressive; its adoption with all classes,
and especially the plain farmers Of our
country at 6rst, will no doubt be difficulty
by reason Of its aovelty. That o man
canno. rent room in his house, or a
cabbage patch upon his farm, to reigh.
Dor without having the contract or mem-
orandum of it, upon stamped paper, at a
cost Of & half dollar or dollar, as the case
may be, will indeed seem strange to many
That such instrument if written on un-
stamped paper, will be absolutely void, and
subject the persons making it, to le,vy
penalties, will seem to many oppressive,
if not unjust. That an agreement to pay
for, or return busbcl of corn, borrowed
or bought, by man Of his neighbor, has
also to be on stamped paper, and will, If
written on any other, be such an offence
as will subject the maker to fine of fifty
dollars, will, to many, seem to be an in
fr;n .emcnt of the natural rights Of man
In the course of Ame, whoa our people
shall have become accustomed to the
workings Of this law, familiar with its de-
tails, aud INJURED to its bur;hens. the
"Stamp act" once so odious to our fathers
may be looked upon by theft po,tsrity, as
necessary and proper method of raising
revenue for the support of the Govern
ment, and the payment Of its debts.
1t is to be hoped, however they will al
ways remember the party whose policy
made it necessary and who vera the first
to impose it upon people, who, but for
that party and its policy might have lived
on in uninterrupted prosperity, and in bless
full ulignorancs Of tho practical workings Of
"stamp act" FOR ages yet to come.
