TEE ESD or THE WAR NEAR AT HANp.-it is
a Singular fact that at the present time, with
million OF Americans arrayed against each
other in arms, we sre yet within month,
or perhaps two wesks, of the end Of this war
So closely do war anti peace keep coIspauy
that IN Q few weeks we passed from state of
profound quiet tc ali the tumult and horrors OF
battle. Now, while the whole land resounds
with the clash OF arms, we are upon the eve OF
peace. and soon our armies will dissolve as
rapidly as they congrsgsted, and our glorious
dsg will leave ahe battle field 70 float proudly
over every city, town and village in the land
Two more great, successful efforts and the
military portion Of the work of restoring the
Union will DO practically concluded. These
efforts will De made at Yorktown and Corinth,
where the best generals this country has ever
| produced--McClelan Halleok, Besuregard,
| Johnston and their subordinates--as the head
| seen on tals continent, will soon engage in the
| most sanzuinsry battles Of this, and perhaps of
any war. If the politicians will but leave our
| generals alone for o few short weeks We cannot
doubt the result Of these battles. If, however,
our generals are hsmpsred or interfered with,
| the politicians will find that the wrath Of the
| people is the wrath of God in its terrible Sc
verify, and that defeat OF our forces will be
equivalent to revolutionary regeneration Of
our government. Let no one, then, be rash
enough to move finger TO prevent the certain
victories, planned by our grea. leaders, which
| will shortly end shis rebellion and restore 70

President Lincoln at South Mountain


FREDERICK, Nd, Oct. 4.
President Lincoln, Gen. Mcclellan and others
left Gen. McClelans head quarters at ten
O'Clock to-day and visited the battlefield of
South Mountain. Gen. Mcclellan and staff
then took leave of the President, who arrived
here at five p. NJ. He was enthusiastically
welcomed and spoke few word to the assem-
bled multitude. He merely made a call upon
the wounded Gen. Hartsuff, who is receiving
attention at the residence of Mrs. Ramsey and
sou, and soon afterwards left for Washington
amid the cheering of the throng of citizens
and soldiers, to whom he returned thanks
briefly, saying:
"Fellow citizens: see myself surrounded
by soldiers, and little further off / note the
citizens OF this good city of Frederick, anx-
ious to hear something from me. ! can only
say as did five minutes ago, it is not proper
for me to make speeches in my present position.
/ return thanks to our soldiers for the good
service they have rendered, for the energy
they have shown, the hardships they have en-
dured, and the blood they have shed for this
dear Union of ours. l also return thanks not
only to the soldiers but to the good citizens of
Maryland, and to all the good men and women
in this land, for their devotion to our glorious
cause. l say this without any malice in my
heart to those who may have done otherwise.
May our children and urchildren's children toa
thousand generations continue to enjoy the
benefits conferred upon us by a united coun-
try, and have cause yet to rejoice under those
glorious institutions bequeathed us by WASH
ington and his compeers. Now my friends,
soldiers and citizens, / can only say once more
farewell"

FROM WASHINGTON.
Another Rebel Spy Arrested.
NEW HOSPITAL.

WASHINGTON, Oct.
1t is believed that the nearest point to
Washington on the Southern side of the Poto-
mac at which there are any rebels in arms, is
the Rappahannock Station, on the Orange and
Alexandria railroad, ffty-one miles from Alex
andria.
This morning one of Gen. Halleck's scouts
brought in man named H. Mckinney, who
was arrested near Leesburg on the charge of
being a spy in the service OF the rebels. He
was taken before the Provost Marshal, who
sent him to the old Capitol prison.
WASHINGTON, Oct 5.
A new hospital, on spacious and modern
plan, admirably ventilated lighted with gas,
and furnished with hot and cold water, to be
called the Federal Hospital, is being built on
the vacant square in front of the Douglas
Hospital. DIR. Warren Webster, of the latter
institution, is supervising the erection, and
will have charge of the three hospitals located
together in that vicinity. The hospital in the
Capitol is TO be discontinued, the order hav-
ing been issued for the removal of the patients
East.
No person in any part Of the country has
the exclusive agency for the sale of stamps.
Any one can obtain the stamps by sending the
proper order with the mouey to the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue.

LEBANoN.-This town, situated on the New
Hampshire line, has done nobly in response to
the calls Of the Government. Her quota OF
the call for 100000 of three years men was
p, and to these the town paid bounty of
$3.50 each. The quota for the nine months
men was 40, and these were promptly raised,
and to them a bounty of 5000 was paid.
Twenty-Five of these went into old regiments,
and the balance are now at Camp Abraham
Lincoln near this city. The money to pay
the bounties was all raised in the town.
without resort to banks, individual citizens fur
nishing it in sums varying from $50 to $1,000,
taking town scrip in exchange When it is re-
membered that about sixty men from this town
have enlisted in New Hampshire, and still 9TH
ers in the regular service or in the Navy, it
will be conceded that Lebanon has done her
duty.

BATTLE AT SARCOXI.
Treatment Of the Union People in
Northern Arkansas.
RETREAT OF THE GUERILLA COFFEE.
SrRINGrrELp. No. Oct. 4.

hb.. OCt \
The correspondence OF Missouri Democrat
OF last evening, says that rumors were afloat
of heavy artillery firing in the direction of
Sarcoxi to-day. These rumors increased, and
by noon word was received that fight had
taken place at Sarcoxi. The number of the
enemy's force is unknown, and we have not
yet learned the result of the fight
The treatment Of those living in Northern
Arkansas is represented as most cruel. Their
homes are robbed by armed bands of plumber
ers, who seize all the men, and all the property
that can be of any possible use to their army,
leaving women and children TO starve for want
of the necessaries of life.
Advices from Sarcoxi, dated 25th, say that
two brigades of the Kansas army had arrived
there.
The guerilla Coffee, with 800 men, was at
Newtoria, fifteen miles south of that place,
when Col. Salmons advance guard arrived but
rebel major, who was there on visit, made
his escape and gave Coffee notice OF an APP
proach, when he retreated south.

brigade OF Gen. w. Morgan's command from
Cumberland Gap arrived at Grampsburg, KY,

having roads to make in many place. The
men are shoeless, hatless and naked. For
days they have been without rations, gather
ing subsistence from standing corn in the
fields, which they grated to make bread after
the fatgues of the day. The men bore the
hardships and privations of the march with
the greatest forttude. They marched twenty
miles day, skirmishing in woods each side Of
the road, and repelling attempts of cavalry in
front and rear. The enemy blockaded the
way in every place suitable, and harassed our
column as much as possible. Our force is TO-
600 strong, with magnificent park artillery,
consisting of twenty peices, six being twenty
Founders, 400 wagons, all of which were
brought offsafely. The works at Cumberland

A Battle Expected in Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, Oct g.
The rebels began to fortify Frankfort, but
they sre represented as evacuating it: but few
Of the enemy are found in that vicinity.
To-day there has been constant skirmishing
on the Barrstown turnpike, near Mount Wash
ington.
The rebels are reported to be 10000 strong
on the southern bank of the east fork of Salt
river. They are terrifying their positions
among the hills, and receiving heavy reinforce
ments, some say as high as 10000 men.
Our advance occupies the northern bank of
the river, and it is waiting to-day for the main
body of our army to come up.
A fight is anticipated tomorrow, as the re-
bells swear they will not run any farther away,
and our army intends to advance and give
them battle.
