Honor to our Braves.

An officer Of General McClellan's staff ar
rived 10 Washington Yesterday, with no less
than thirty-nne rebel standards, captured by
our army on the field of Antietam. The reb-
el troops who fought in that battle were no
raw levies, quick to leave their colors; they
were veterans, Who had fought in many bat
ties, and had learned with soldiery spirit, TO
regard the loss ST colors or cannon as bitter
disgrace to a soldier. 1t is bard fighting which
gained for our brave fellows these trophies.
wrestsd from the enemy in the severest strug-
gle Of the war.
" Q have reason to feel proud Of such to-
kens of the valor of our soldier; and the more
so when we read in the dispatch of General
McC Cean, that in the Same battle where
these thirty nino standards were captured from
the enemy, our own brave boys did not lose n
standard of colors or gun. This Is the finest
record an army can have, because it demon
strates the individual bravery aud martial
spirit of the men, who have learned to regard
as the most sacred emblem of the profession
the flag which they carry into battle.

He said the truth was, God Almighty was on
our side. 1t took time TO educate Us. Had
we won certain victories the rebellion would
have been over but the cause would have re-
NAMED. That Proclamation, for which God
bless Abraham Lincoln, was educating the
people, and soon we would be ready to 60
forward; we are nearly ready now. They ar
raign me for having delivered speecs.--
Every word Of that speech is true, and could
be proved to the satisfaction Of any jury of
twelve of the meanes democrats in Michigan.
He didn't come here to apologies; he stood
upon his record; with it he was ready TO meet
his doom. With that he was ready to meet
his constituents, bis masters, aud Lis God. -
This contest, which no man deprecates more
than he, has been forced upon US. The issue
that is to be settled within the next thirty
days is one of great moment. If you say to

General Mcclellan on the Prcsi-
fl dents Proclamation.

HEApqUARrERs ARMY OF THE PoToMAc
CAMP NEAR SHARPsBURG, Nd, Oct. ten
eral Order No. l39.-The attention of the
officers and soldiers Of the Army Of the Poto-
mac is called TO General Order l39 of the
War Department, Sept. Gath, 1862, publish.
ing to the army the Presidents Proclamation
Of Sept. 22d. A Proclams tion of such grave
moment to the nation, officially communlca
ted TO the army, affords the General Com
manding an opportunity Of defining specitical.
ly TO the officers aud soldiers under bis com.
mand, the relation borne by all persons in the
military service of the United States towards
the civil authorities Of the Government.
The constitution confdes to the civil author
tiles, legislative, Judicial and executive, the
power and duty Of making, expounding and
executing the Federal laws. Armed forces
are raised and supported simply to sustain the
civil authorities and 10 be held in strict SUBJ
ordination thereto in all respects. This fun.
damental rule of our political system Is essen
tial to the security of our republican institu
tions and should be thoroughly understood
aud observed by every soldier.
The principle upon which, AID the objects
for which it shall be employed in suppresslng
rebellion, must bc determined and declared by
the civil authorities, and the Chief Executive,
who is charged with the administration OF ma
tiona affairs, is the proper and only source
through which the views and orders OF the
Government can be made known to the armies
of the nation. Discussion by officers and sol
divrs concerning public measures determined
upon and declared by the Government, when
carried at all beyond the ordinary temperate
and respectful expression of opinion, tend
greatly to impair and destroy the discipline
aud efficiency Of troops, by substituting the
spirit Of political faction for that firm, steady
aud earnest support of the authority OF the
Government, which Is the highest duty OF .he
American soldier. The remedy for political
errors, il any are committed, is to be found
only in the action Of the people at the polls
In thus calling the attention Of this army
10 tie true relation between the soldiers and
the Government, the General commanding
merely adverts TO an evil against which 1t has
been thought advisable, during our whole has,
tory TO guard the armies Of the Republic, and
in so doing he will not be considered by any
right minded opinion, as casting any refiec
ton upon that loyalty and good conduct
which has been so fully illustrated on so man'
battle-fields, in carrying out all measures o
public policy. ~ ~
This army will, Of course, be guided by Tho
same rules Of mercy and Christianity that have
ever controlled its conduc, towards the de
fenseless.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.
Conycrsing about the probabilities Of a war
between Great Britain and the United States,
Maury took especial pains to prove to the
EIgls1l1nen with whom he was conyerslng,
that in such an event, nothing would bt more
easy for England to do than to dispatch fleet
Of gunboats to the western lakes, via the
Welland Canal, and to destroy all the leading
American cities OH the lake shores, and take
possession Of = large portion Of the Vest In
Of any such untoWard event Eonll like to
see Maury and his associates placed in charge
Of such an expedition. Ht would not be
likely to advance far into our territory before
he wou1d find out the practicability Of this
Ito llmJ magnificent undertaking.
HOW TIE PARTY OF REBELS ESCAPED.
It appears that this party of erccssionists
embarked at Charleston on board Of the noto-
rious rebel steamer Herald (which has made
several successful voyages in aud ont Of that
place they took passage for Halifax by the
British mail steanler Delta, aud then came on
board lie ATabia.
They appear to be accompanied by two OF
three Eng}ishmen, who may be interested in
running the blockade at the Sonth, and whose
interest it is to keep on good terms with
them. Ono Of tie latter, bY-tle-by, told me-
