SUlrlNG MISUNDERSTANDING Stan
ton is arranging matters considerably
around the Administrative precinct a
Washington. BY bis first official orde
he has taken from the hands of Secreta
~ Seward the right to arrest persons
for State offences. He is evidently op
posed to the unwarrantable manner il
which the Premier was in the habit Of
trapsacting this branch Of business.
The following order shows also that
he has assumed another branch Of pow
er which was heretofore monopolized by
the Secretary Of State. Stanton is
pleasing everybody but the Abolitionists,
and it is OF no earthly consequence
whether they are pleased or displeased
The idea is to preserve the Union. The
order reads thus:
The regulation heretofore existing
which required passes across the militia
~ lines OF the United States to be sign
cd by the Secretary of State, and conn
,ersigned by the General Commanding,
is rescinded.
BY order of the President.

Gen. Halleck has issued another OF

in bis department at least, shall De
carried on under principles Of justice to
all men-death to traitors in arms and
protection to all others. That is wha!
all upright men desire. lie commands
all soldiers to respect the property OF
all persons not found in arms, and that
no fugitive slaves shall be admitted
within the lines OF the army, unless
special orders TO that effect arc issued
by the General commanding. This will
be another bitter pill for men OF the
Abolition stripe. They look upon sol,
.iiers merely as a machine sent uovn
south to catch slaves-to der.siye slave.
holders Of their property not asking OF
caring whose property may fall into
taeir hands. Aheir bean ideal Of Gen.
eral IS I'm Lane. They wanted him
10 take Hunters position and organize
h vast marauding expedition through
the South-to steal, murder, p'llaee
and slaughter, without regard to law or
order. Gen. Halleck takes directly the
opposite course. and declares that not
the military but the civil conrts must
settle the relations between master and
slaves. That is the thing exactly, and
that is the policy Of the Administration.
Says Gen. Halleck, 1--WE will show
them the people Of the South that we
come to restore, not to rioldte the Con-
s,itution and laws" Can any loyal citi-
zen ask more can any one be satisfied
with less! Those who are found in q
belligerant attitude will have to suffer
the consequences both in person and
property. That is the true position.
The army is moving forward and will
speedily determine who desire to op-
pose its progress and who are in favor
of the restoration and perpe uity Of the
Union. Thus let it be decided.

WHEN Gen. Mcclellan received, on
Monday morning, the dispatch aunoupc.
ing the surrender of Fort Donelson. he
was sitting in his private room. with
Gov. Curtin Of Pennsylvania, the latter
consulting relative to the disposition OF
ten Pennsylvania regiments still at Har.
risburg. The General spologzed for
reading the dispatch, which he did with
a strong but suppressed emotion. Gen
Mcclellan then took the dispatch to
Secretary Stanton on foot through the
rain. There were some three hundred
spectators assembled at the War De
partment. Gen. Mcclellan, in breath.
less haste, barely announced the fact
when Secretary Stanton threw up biz
hat and proposed three cheers, which
were given amid the greatest excite
ment.

A Noble Letter from tho Secretary Of War
-Eloqucst Ksbuke 70 the Tribune.
One Of the New York journals being
assiduously and Indignantly engaged in
making it appear thst there lie conflict
ing opinion, or want Of cordial CO.
operation, between the commanding
Generals Of tho army and the Secretary
Of War, Mr.. Stanton sends to the edi.
tor of the mischievous sheet the follow
ing eloquent and stirring reproof:
To III. hdi,or Of the New York HiIsse:
S1R:-I cannot suffer undce I.,erit to
5e ascribed to my official action. The
glory Of our recent victoric.s belongs to
the gallant officers and soldicrs that
fought the battles. 70 share of It be.
longs to me.
Much has recently been said of mill
tary combinations and organizing VIC
tory. Lear such phrases with appre.
hens'on. They commenced in infidel
Franc, with the Italian campaign, and
re.sulted in Waterloo. Who can organ
lze victory? Who can combine the
elements Of success on the battlefield !
We owe our recent victories to the
Spirit OF the Lord, that moved our
soldiers 10 rush into battle and filled
the hearts Of our enemies with terror
and dismay. The inspiration that con.
quered in battle was in the hearts OF the
soldiers and from on high; and wherev.
err there is the same inspiration there
will be the same results. Patriotic
spirit, with resolute courage in ofiice.e
and men, is a military combination that
never failed.
We may we'll rejoice at the recent
victories, for they teach US that battles
are to be won now, and by us, in the
same and only manner that they we're
ever won by any people or in any age,
since the days Of Joshua-by boldly
pursuing and striking the foe. What,
under the blessing of Providence, l con.
ceive to be the true organization Of vic.
tory and military combination to end
this war, was declared in few words
by Gen. Granite message to Gen. Buck
ner. propose to naove Immediately ON
your acorks.''
Yours truly,
EDWIN NJ. STANTON.

Not long ago, Senator tessenden, Of
Maine, made speech severely crinciziog
the management Of tho war. Events
seemed to have changed his opinion-as
they have the opinions Of great many
others-ior, in speech in the Senate on
Wednesday, he SAID:
81 have heard much, and read in the
newspapers much criticism on the con-
duct Of the war. l admit, sir, that it
has not been altogether satisfactory to
me, and could have wished it had been
otherwise. have felt as kcen'y as any
one the disasters which we suffered at
first. Bat, sir, on calm reflection,
have come to better state OF feeling on
that subject, aud declare here to-day
as my sincere CONVICTION, that we have
not only done all, but more than could
have been reasonably anticipated in the
same space Of tine. Look at our con-
dltlon when this war commenced with
no army aud no navy, and no means,
except our credit, OF raising money,
taken by surprise, unused to war, after
q long term Of peace, and disarmed, in
point Of fact, by the robberies OF those
who have undertaken to separate us.
Were victories under such circumstan.
ces to come in q day. Were we At
once, in week, or month, or a few
months, to create military experience
which We had lost, and create navy
and army and win victories? Any such
expectation was idle. We should rather
has' anticipated defeat. | heard the
remark made by one Of our Generals,
who was a great man some years ago,
that Republic must alwsys be defeat
ed at first, because they have always to
learn This was our condition, going
on with rsshness when We did 90, and
laboring under the impression, which it
must be conceded We had cultivated,
that we were invncible and unwilling
to wait for the unfolding of time.
Economy is never learned bot at the ex-
pense Of waste, aud victories only at the
expense Of defeat, and that l believe
We are learning. We have now an
army and navy winning glory for US
everywhere, and everything looks favor.
able tor our cause 20 heart could wish.
Then I see no reason 10 the conduct OF
Thu war, up to tits time, for any dis
credit"
The opinion thus maufully spoken by
the Senator from Maine, is the firm con
viction Of all loyal and conservative
men. We are glad to zee that a few Of
our congressman, who we had reason
to believe were going over to Abolition.
lam, body and soul, are coming out and
giving in evidence at the proper point
Now will not those Abolitionists who
hsye been cursing Mcclellan because b,
has not done more in the short time b,
had to do it in, face about like men aut
own up that they have been in error
Let the Gasette-the Abolition orpa,
