Gen. Mitchell and others.

The ''charges" against Gen. Mitchell have
failed, because they were malignant false
hoods. Their principal fabricator, the worth
ess Col. Norton of Ohio, is likely to gain by
the operation good deal more than he bar
gained for. There is an order for his arrest,
from which, it is said, he is hiding. His at
tacks were also directed against Col. Tur-
chin. communication in the Washington
Republican, speaking Of Col. Turchin and
the two Illinois regiments with him, says :
''He and the regiments above named have
been pursued by such semi-secession sheets as
the Missouri Republicans New York and
Quincy Heralds, and their coadjutors, the of
iicers in our own army of pro-slavery and Sc
cession proclivities, with more vindctveness
than these papers have ever shown against the
enemies of our country, to say the least. They
have been slandered and vilifed at every turn
ever since their first entrance into Missouri
more than year ago, and for no other rea-
son than that they were unwilling to be turn
ed INTO blOodhOunds to hunt down and re-
turn fugitive slaves. Col. Turchin replied
to committees of citizens who visited him in
missouri that he did not come among them to
ENJOY the hospitalities of secessionists or 10
make pleasant acquaintance among them. but
his endeayor would be to do all he could 10
put down the rebellion in the shortest possible
way.

correspondence of the n. Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator James H.
Lane has been clothed by the government
with the amplest powers for the organization
OF an army in the department of Kansas, upon
his own principles and in his own way. Those
who know Gen. Jim Lane know that every
able'bodied man who wishes to enlist under
him, whatever his color or condition, will be
welcomed; and that he will solve the problem
of the war without the issuing of proclama-
tons. The letter of instructions to senator
Lane styles him, commissioner for Recruit
ing in the Department of Kansas :" and au-
thorlzes him to form camps and to make re-
quisitions upon the general commanding the
department and his subordinates for whatever
supplies he may require. These officers are
directed to give him all that he asks, and as
the views of Gen. Blunt, who commands the
department, are known to be similar to those
OF Gen. Lane, there can be no doubt that they
will work harmoniously together. If Gov.
Robinson commissions the officers whom Gen.
Lane appoints, well and good If not the
secretary of war promises to do it. There
were 64O0 loyal black emigrants from adiojn-
ing states in Kansas at the last advices, and it
is believed that the arrival of Gen. Lane.
clothed with these powers, will swell that
number very much. We are happy to know
that the president and secretary of war, oro
heartily as one with respect to the appoint-
ment Of senator Lane, and that they give tbe
most positive assurances that this time he shall
not be interfered with.

Gen Mitchell and Col. Turchin are not the
only brave and capable officers connected
with the service, who have been assailed by
similar influences. In their case Norton was
a willing tool of semi-secession newspapers,
and army officers with secession procliyi-
ties" In another more important case. that
Of Fremont, a high official of the regular army
volunteered similar service, in a style to
excite envy in the most practiced reporter of
the New York Herald. He was more sue
cesstul, but not a whit less undeserying CEN
sure. Extravagant sympathy with the slavery
extremists was to be expected among the of
ticers of the regular army after it had been
controlled and manipulated for years by
such secretaries of war as Floyd and JEFF.
Davis. The worst of them joined the seces-
sionists at once, but some of these who re-
manned were heartily in favor of carrying on
the war vigorously, and their old sympathies
have found scope in showing vehement favor
to slavery and caballing against any officer in
the service who might do it some injury. Men
of this stamp have had considerable influence
over our military operations, much more,
probably, than they will have in future.
Another spirit is arising. A new policy will
prevail. Hereafter, it is likely, the best men
will be more Independent of such cabals and
more free to strike crushing blows at the re-
bellion.

GEN. HALLEcK's "ORDER No. 3."-The
order which has been much spoken of since
the appointment of Gen. Halleck, as COM
mander-in-chief, read as follows:
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF MISSOURI
ST. LOUIS. November 20, 1861. {
General Order No. 3.
l. 1t has been represented that important
information respecting the numbers and con-
dition of our forces is conveyed to the enemy
by means of fugitive slaves who are admitted
within our lines. In order to remedy this
evil, it is directed that no such persons be
hereafter permitted to enter the lines of any
camp, or of any forces on the march, and
that any now within such lines be immediate
ly excluded therefrom.
2. The general commanding wishes to i'm
press upon all officers in command of posts
and troops in the field the importance of pre-
venting unauthorized persons of every de-
scription from entering and leaving our lines,
and of observing the greatest precaution in
the employment of agents and clerks in con-
fidential positions.
By order of MAJOR GENERAL HAILEcK.
The matter, it will be remembered, was
brought up in congress, when Mr.. Blair read
letter, showing how Gen. Halleck under
stood his order and mis- duty. 1t was as fol-

AT THE ANNIVERSARY of the Mount Hol-

Thursday, Rev. DIR. Storrs, of Brooklyn, N.
Y, delivered an able and eloquent address on
the probable future of the nation. The ora
tor made an effective allusion to the power of
woman in national crises like the present.
power which he illustrated by an al
fusion to the malign power of the women of
the south in the present time. He said that
he had recently conversed with man who
had returned from Imprisonment in the south.
This man said he could easily withstand the
abuse Of the men, but the taunts of the wo-
men had sting that he could not bear at all,
and he had learned that there was one more
blessing to thank God for, which he had not
previously known. 1t was that the devil was
not woman! On the list of graduates we
notice the following names from this county:
Ella L. Balcom, Winchendon; Frances A.
Bachelor, Whitinsyille; Lucy J. Ellis, Fitch
