ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.


| FRIEND DANIELs:
Since my last, the Union sentiment
has boldly came out in this section OF
the State, and I fatter myself that the
day is not far distant when We shall have
grand jubilee in the triumph Of our
glorious cause in this State; not only in
this State, but all that have dared to
raise to the puny arm Of rebellion.
When the news came to Fulton tha.
our flag was waving on the heights Of
Fl. Henry, and Fl. Donelson, it was
greeted by the booming Of the cannon
and three sa!utes from our united mus
kets, after which We marched through
the town. while the ladies welcomed US
BY the waving Of handkerchief from the
window of many a house. The band was
playing Yankee Doodle" Then We
marched to our quarters, after which
three rousinc cheers went up in behalf
Of our victories. Some time ago two
|
brigades passed by here enroute for the
sOuth-amODg them was the Iowa 9th.
The Upton boys look well, and we're in
good spirits.

50 grca, has been the demand for amy
wuol,n goor:s, su"E as cloth, flannel and
blankets, that all the woclen mills in the
country have been stimulated to prodi-
ciou. efforts in order to supply the de-
mand made upon them. Most Of the
factories haze been engaged on army con-
tract work. and it is stated that all the
corporations have made handsome prof
its. One peculiar effect Of the war has
been a great rvs" in the price Of the cOar-
ser qunli,ies OF wool, while the finer
sorts have been lowered. The army reg
ula,ions specify that common army cloth
shall be made Of tong, coarse staple,
hence the great dsma'd for this class of
wool has ,aiSed it to a very high figure.
Thus the coarse Beckwell wool which
used to sell at fron twenty. five to thirty
five cents per pound has advanced to
thirty.ei.ht and forty five cents. The
consumption of wool for army purposes
during the past six months has amounted
to no. less than 1900, 900 pounds
This allows for an overcost, blanket, coat
and pants. unitedly weighing sixteen
pounds for $4,000 suits -.Scient;c

TO prevail in the United States of Columbia, and
especially in Panama Mosquera had carried his
threat into effect of closing all the cathedrals,

ported in our last advices, has now been fully
6rmed The former have sought refuge in Lima
and the latter wherever protection could be found.
A new treaty had been ratified between the re-
public Of Ecuador and Arboeda, and had sppa-
rently satisfied the people. The anniversary of
Peruvian independence had been celebrated with
great ecldt. novel mode of adding to the gene
raj enjoyment was the providing by the rich Peru
vians of dowres to several poor girls, many Of
whom were married on that day. The health of
all the Southern republics was good.
Accounts from San Francisco to the 25th inst
state that the Presidents emancipation procama-
ton was heartily endorsed by the leading journals
there. The commercial reports state that large
quantities of goods going into the interior,
and that domestic liquors had seriously declined
in price.
The steamship Philadelphia arrived at this port
last evening, from New Orleans the 18th inst, and
Havana goth inst. The news from New Orleans
is two days later, but possesses no particular i'm
portance Gen. Butler has issued general order
that each neutral foreigner resident in the depart
ment of New Orleans shall present himself with
the evidence of his nationality, to the nearest pro-
vost marshal for registration of himself and his
family. This is done to distinguish the disloyal
from the loyal citizens and honest neutral
foreigners.
BY the steamship Philadelphia, which arrived at
this port from Havana yesterday. we have some
later news from Mexico. Our dates from Vera
Cruz are 10 the llth inst. The vomito is raging
dreadfuly at that place, and is making consider
able havoc in the French fleet. The
French iron-clad frigate Normandie ar
rived at Slcrifcios the 4th inst
great anxiety was felt for convoy Of one million
dollars, which had been despatched from Vera
Cruz to pay the French troops at Orzaba, and it
was supposed to have been captured by Mexican
guerillas. At Havana there was very little yel-
low fever and the health was generally good.
A troop train, containing the Twentieth regiment
of Pennsylvania militia, colided with locomo-
tive on the Cumberland Valley Railroad. one mile
from Harrisburg Pa, yesterday morning, killing
ten and mangling between thirty and forty SOL

Maryland.

No MOVEMENT ACROSS THE PoroMAC.-It is q
matter OF no surprise that General Mcclellan
does not advance across the Potomac. No army
could be in a condition for immediate aggrss-
siye movements after such battle Is that or
Antietam creek, unless IT we're straightway re-
inforced by supplies and fresh troops. Now II
the time for other and adjunct armies to ad-
vance, therefore. These assistant armies are
delayed, however, as well as General McClel-
Ian, by the want Of those reinforcements which
the Governors OF certain States keep back, for
reasons best known to themselves. But, in point
of fact the rebels will soon be compelled to
retreat whether we advance or not. They have
no sboes, hats, overcoats or blankets, are al
most demoralized, and are without supplies.
In such strait, the cold nights now coming on
wi,, he more fatal to them than dozen battles.
The rebels used TO threaten US with King Yel-
low Jack. whom General Butler conquesd by
cleanliness. Let us now see how long they
oan resist his Northern Majesty Jack Frost.

Who ARE THE MARPLOTs We have re-
the campaign are the work Of the radi-
Gals in Congress and elsewhere. 1t was
through their efforts that the army in Virginia
was last spring divided and scattered by
creating new departments. 1t was at their
instigation that the administration stopped
cntistments last winter While they were
under Wilson and Fessendsn importuning the
government to stop recruiting the rebels were
increasing their force by conscription, thus COM
pelling our generals to meet superior numbers
at every point, Mcclellan could have gone
into Richmond if he had had more men, Pope
was compelled to fall back because he had
not men enough to contend with the large
rebel army The cause Of our failures and dis
asters has been this want of men. This the po-
iticians in Washington and the radicals in Con.
gress are responsible for. They not emily under
estimated the forces of the rebels and prevailed
upon the War Department to stop enlistments,
but were for sending home one hundred and fifty
thousand soldiers already in the army. All
statements prove that it is the legislation Of the
radicals in the last Congress--their confiscation
and other extreme measures-that has incensed
the Southern people and forced them into des-
peration and the adoption of retaliatory acts
They have extended the war and swollen our
debt to over a thousand millions of dollars.
They are responsible for the sacrifice of the
one hundred thousand men who have been slain
upon the battle fields or returned to their homes
sick and naaimed' for lite. The hue and cry.
therefore, against our Generals, is only dodge
to shift the responsibility from the radical in
triguers and place it on the officers Of the
army. They, and not our generals, are
responsible for our failures, and those
journals which are assailing our generals and
charging them with mismanagsment are there.
by lsboring for the continuation of the radical
rule that has been so disastrous and expensive
to US thus far. The sooner our generals are
permitted to manage the war, and the radical
MarpIots are forced into retirement, as was the
Gates and Conway cabal in the days of the Re-
volution, the sooner will this war be brought to
a successful issue, and the earlier will peace be
restored, and our divided and distracted coun-
try be again one harmonious and prosperous
whole.

from the T1o~ne on which ysu base 1t, gying the date
In compliance with the polite request of
Greeley, who calls the paragraph in the HERALD
"a falsehood" we quote the passage on which
we based it, from the Tribune of Saturday, Au-
gust 2, 1862, being the last paragraph of the
leading editorial, entitled "Let us have plain
English" 1t is rs follows, verbatim ct Htero-
tian:-
There are three times three hundred thousand born and
naturalized Yankees VIII smelt battle, ready
enough bounty bounty, 10 die tor their country.
But they had rather do rst and die alerward IL neGes

evident words Start the old chorus Of Liberty Forever
md they will all Join in and march on, knowing, every
blessed mothers OF them, that Whist going 20 be
done now Is 70 save the country and NOT TO its
mies
Does this satisfy Massa Greeley, and will he re-
tract his charge of "falsehoods" We have had oc-
casOn to refer to the article several times aud the
Tribune never pretended till yesterday that we
had misrepresented it. No doubt it calculated
that We could not lay our finger on the article.
or th at we would not take the trouble of hunt
ing it up. We now quote the words. What has
Greeley to say for himself? Will he assert
that "three times three hundred thousand are
not 100000, or that the emancipation proclama
ton OF the President for which Greeley cried
God bless Abraham Lincoln!" is not, after
ALL the good old chor of universal human
oater,'" nor the old chorus Of Liberty For
ever!" Is Greeley dissatisfied with it? If he is
let him say 50 in plaiu English" but if he is
not, and thinks that Abraham Lincoln has really
started the old chorus Of Liberty Forever. :
then we reiterate our question "Wbere now are
your nine hundred thousand men?' You pledged
yourself that they would all join in and
march on" That is just what we now want
them to do, and then there will be no necessity
for a draft in any State. Are Greeley's 900 600
ike Falstaff's "men in buckram?r Are they
men like Greeley himself who not only never
'smelt battle" but never intend to smell it
under any circumstances. Now is the time "to
save the country" Where are your three times
three hundred thousand?

THE NOMINATION OF WADswoRTH.-Th nomi-
nation Of that radical, Wadsworth, falls coldly
upon the public. The political thermometer
marks the freezing point. The people of
this State do not want for their Governor
man like Wadsworth, who, as a general. dis.
tinguished himself only by his attacks upon his
superior officer General Mcclellan; who was
one Of those abolition intriguers whose inter-
meddlings with our plans and our generals have
cost the country much unnecessary blood,
much squandered money and an indefinite pro-
longation Of the war; and who, after q very
brief term Of service in the field, occupied him
self at Washington in stirring up disturbances
between the civil and military powers result
ing almost in bloodshed. His own party dis
trust this man, and before month IL over he
will be without . corporals guard Of political
supporters.
