Correspondence Of the New York rrIbun

Correspondence Of the New York Tribune
GAINESVILLE, Monday, Nov. 10, lS62.-
One Of the most gallant exploits of the war
occurred at Fredericksburg yesterday morn
ing. Capt. Eric Dahlgren of Gen. Sjgers
stall was sent on Saturday night with de-
tachment OF 60 men of the LIST Indiana cav
airy, belonging to the generals bodv-guard
to reconnoltre IN the vicinity of Frederjcks-
burg. and, if possible to capture the rebel
cavalry, said to number about 60, stationed at
! that place. At Warrenton junction detach-
ment of the 9th Ohio cavalry, under major
Stedman. was joined to the party. Thewhole
| force, under Capt. Dahlgren, proceeded to-
wards Fredericksburg, stopping over night to
iced. They reached Fredericksburg about
I IL O'Clock on Sunday morning, crossing the
river, and entering the town from the further
side, thus surprising the rebels who were
| there stationed. They found there five com
panies of the 18th Virginia and three compa-
mics of the 9th Virginia cavalry.
Upon crossing the river Capt. Dahlgren
found the enemy hurriedly preparing to meet
HIM Without waiting to give them time.
Capt. D., with the LIST Indiana cavaly, under
Capt. Stein and Lieuts. Miller and Carr.
dashed through the streets upon the force.
The 9th Ohio cavalry, then crossing, were or
deTed to follow, but did not do So The other
hiibllio themselves Ill the presence OF
a superior force, made every exertion to keep
the advantage they had gained. At the first
dash they captured many prisoners, who were
sent to the rear. As the rebels so largely out
numbered them the contest became desperate
the body guard fighting like heroes hand to
hand, and almost with their fists. After a
fight Of three hours the rebels were driven
back and completely routed.
Capt. Dahlgren lost only one man killed and
three missing. The body of the dead man
was brought off by his valiant comrades. In
the town two rebel wagons were found loaded
with army cloth, destined for the southern ar
my. They were Immediately taken possess
sion OF, and are now on their way in. Capt.
Dahlgren, after accomplishing the other re-
suits OF his expedition, returned safely to-
night, bringing in 80 prisoners, horses and ac-
coutrements. Heavy firing has been heard
during the day from the direction of the Rap
pahannock river. 1t is reported tonight that
Gen. Pleasanton and Gen. Stuart were en-
gagged at or near Pottsville, and the former
succeeded in driving the latter from his posi-
ton. 1t was thought that general engage

INV" tHe Louupu morning starr
The Massachusetts senator has lately had a
meeting with his constituents. Fragments
and summaries Of his speech at Faneuil Hall
have found their way into most English news
papers. Let the sympathizers with the south
produce, if they can, from their side of Ma
son and Dixon's line, any utterance to com
pare with it in all the qualities that should
commend human speech to hnman audience.
1t Is nota direct appeal to the sympathies of
a foreign power or people, like most of the
addresses that issue from the south. 1t is the
domestic commentary of an eminent Ameri-
can upon measures and events equal with the
greatest in American history.
Tins representative Of powerful commune
ty addresses to his fellow citizens considera-
tions upon the conduct of a war in which they
and he are more deeply Interested than any
English constituency has been in any war
which England has waged since the DAYS of
Cromwell. 1t is such a speech as Hampden
might have spoken in Buckinghamshre, or
Pym in the Guildhall. 1t treats both of prin-
clpes and policy-ofthe means of success and
OF the ends which can alone sanctify the trou-
Bile or glorify success. 1t breathes throughout
the spirit Of justice and of freedom. 1t puts
no difference between the negro and the white
man, except that for the former it claims
rights larger than the law or the sword can
eniorCe-the rights of social equality; while
for the latter it asserts the title, given by
solemn compact and confirmed by three gen
erations of practice, to rule the American ter
ritory by the vote of the American people.
There is in 1t no faint OF a passion for blood
shed, for domination or for vengeance. And
this is no sudden or exceptional exhibition of
American character.
Throughout his public life Mr. Sumner has
held the same doctrines, expressed the same
spirit. BY virtue of them, no less than of his
rare abilities and culture he has risen to the
high places of the republic. He is the leader
OF party as well as the representative of the
1rst New England state and chairman of the
foreign affairs committee of congress. Too
advanced thinker and too pure politician

WORCES 7 Err:
WEDNESDAY, NOV. I@. 1854.


1t was stated in some of the dispatches,
yesterday, that Hon. Joseph Holt had written
letter expressing his views of the conduct of
the war in Virginia, which would soon be
published. 1t is not necessary to wait for the
publication of any specific letter from him
upon this unpleasant theme, as the views of
this eminent statesman and patriot are on
record, and though expressed before the re-
noval Of Gen, Mcclellan, yet anticipated and
fully justified such an event. Writing to
Hon. Hiram Barney, under date OF Oct 25th,
he says -
The tongue OF an archangel could scarcely
comfort and animate the popular spirit in the
presence of the inaction of our armies, An
immediate, bold, and aggressive movement
upon the enemy-following up every blow
struck, and gathering the fruits of every vic
tory gained-is what is required for our de-
liverance. To the accomplishment of this
single object the thoughts, the efforts, and the
prayers OF the whole country should be di-
rected. # those 7cho are IN the front lciU not
go forward, the public safety lciH demand that
they be assigned positions Ia the rear. What
are the sensibiiities, what the reputation, or
what the cherished schemes of any general in
the field, as compared with the life of such a
government and country as ours? If, with
the cloudless skies, and bracing airs and fine
roads of the autumn, our vast and completely
appointed army cannot do its work. when will
1t be able to do so? If Lee, jackson, and
Longstreet can move with prompttude and
dashing celebrity in the cause of treason and
barbaric vandalism, why cannot our chief
tains move as promptly and as fast in the
cause Of honor and loyalty? How much
longer will the nation endure that all its sacri-
fees be truitlesS? Its conviction that it pos
sesses, twice told, the power to subdue this
rebellion is not more complete than, in my
Judgment, will be its determination that neith-
er the follies nor the crimes OF men shall rem
der that power unavailing.
Judge Holt speaks at length OF the danger
and the shame resulting from the prolonged
torpor of the army-the hope deferred for the
hundredth time-with the earnestness of one
who saw and felt all the indignation which
must have preceded the final change in the
command on the Potomac. When this letter
was written Gen. Halleck's communication to
the war department had not been made and
the writer's impotence with the slothfulness
of high officers could have been grounded
only upon the uni ersal knowledge that
with an admirable army nearly perfect in
all its appointments, General Mcclellan
had failed to accomplish anything from which
the country could take courage or hope in the
hour of its humiliation. 1t is reported that the
president recently said, in one OF his free con-
versations, that ''in future, success should be
the test of merit in our generals, and that fail
ure should be at once followed by removal"
That is right For there is no man. whatever
his rank, who has the right to enjoy immuni-
ties or to exercise power at the cost of the
public safety.
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1862-11-12

GEN. MCCLELLAN's REMovAL-The adj
ministration has been sorely tried with this
question. The friends of Gen. Mcclellan,
though less violent than his enemies, are nu-
merous and influential. The president. strict
~ Just and impartial, has aimed to do his duty,
both to the country and to Gen. Mcclellan.
He believes that in Gen. McClellan's hesita-
ton and delays, in the autumn of 1861, and
in January and February of 1862, the right
tul advantages Of that campaign were lost.
He fears that so much time has now been lost,
that the magnificent army again in the field,
Is doomed to an experience as disastrous and
VICTORIOUS as that Of the last year And this
painful apprehension has evidently con-
strained him to recall Gen. Mcclellan. In
this he can have no motive or purpose but to
intuse more life and energy into the war.
We hoped that the necessity for such recall
would be avoided But the idea of witness
ing the close Of another campaign, barren of
results, was uncomfortable. In view of the
enormous sacrifices of blood and treasure
winch this war costs, men are nothing. Gen.
Scott, with all his experience and honors. did
not hesitateto retire, in the hope that young
er II not better general, would be more sue
ceSsful. After sixteen months experience,
we find the army as far from Richmond as it
was when Gen. Mcclellan took command of
1t. Is 1t strange, therefore that the president
should ''try" another general?

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS. - The Boston
Commercial Bulletin said, the other day
''When one sees, and has seen from
the beginning of the war, that political affilia-
ton with the administration has determined
the question as to who shall be the recipients
of government patronage, all this affectation
about political prejudice, and disloyalty to the
administration becomes absurd"
The Bulletin is not well informed. The
Massachusetts, men who are making most
out Of the adminsration-some of them at
the rate of hundreds of thousands of dollars
in single year - are its political enemies.
We presume it is not party favortism that
gives rich contracts to Chester w. Chaplin,
James 5. Whitney, and Paul II. George
We do not intend to intimate that what they
are making out of the government is not made
by honest contracts honestly fulfilled, but
certainly the administration should be re-
heyed from accusations Of party favoritsm
while it is enriching such men.-Spyinqfeld

within the meaning OF the fifth clause of the

up whether the absence of stamp on the
