oCR ILLINOIS CAVALRY,

II will be gratifying to the people Of this
State to know that in the recent cavalry
raid Of stoneman, whereby such terror WAS
sent to rebel hearts, The Eighth Illinois
Cavalry, Col William Gamble Of Evans
ton, had the post Of honor. We have no
particulars Of the manner in which they
behaved; but they will be untrue to their
antcccdents, If they have not increased the
brilliancy of their previous reputation. We
await the record Of their gallant deeds
with no little anxiety.
The gallant 18th Illinois Cavalry, now
unGerthe command Of 1t. Col Hausbrouck
Davis, Of this city, has also shining share
in t1is great exploit, before which past small
raids Of the rebels are insignificant. Our
dispatches show that the 12th has arrived
safe at Yorktown, having marched dis
tancc Of 200 miles throug h the cnemy's 6
lines, hovercd round their very capital, and
wrought heavy havoc with supplies
and communications. All honor to- ou'
brave Illinois troops, whose dashing brav
cry in the execution Of this splendid ma
neuyer has gone far to Tighten up the dis
appointment at the temporary failure O.

with injustice and 1nalignity that have
no parallel save in the Copperhead jour
nails We recollcct also, how when Pope
was struggling with the enemy in front
and with his bctrayers in the real, it essay
ed 10 roar but stopped short at bray. And
now come these false and ungcnerous as
sau1ts upon Gen. Hooker. We know that
the cdito1-in-chicf Of that journal has no
stomach for the fight, and we are
justified in believing that he would,
even by the sacrifice Of the Union,
and the irreparable disgrace Of the
North, consent to stop the war to-day.

rEom THE RAPPAuANSOCK.

The Army Of the Potomac still lives,
and fighting Joe Hooker is still its life.
The smoke and mist Of the first re-
ports of battle and disaster have
passed away. Men see clearer and
breathe freer. The Secretary Of
War has sent circular dispatch to the
several Governors, the earliest official M
nouncement Of the situation. Our losses
now summed up at 1900 killed and 5000
wounded, far less than the earlier state
nents, and with still wider margin from
The frigltful losses Of the rebels. Our dis
patches from Washington and Philadel-
phia arc voluminous, and we publish
Them as received
They contain the statements and dctluc-
fions Of Washington and New York pa
pefs, from some Of which our readers, like
ourselves, may take occasion to differ. The
argument that Gen. Hookers re-crossing
the river was necessary to intlict the more
harm on the rebels. is simply ridiculous
and foolish. 1t is enough to say, that after
having harmed the enemy fearfully, he
fell successfully back across swollen
river as measure Of safety to his army,
which is now ready to harm the rebels
more.
The troops are now in their old camps
:lt Falmouth, and the situation is appar-
entity restored to its former aspect. But it
is really far otherwise The rebel army is
harmed to IN extent no light matter to the
strained and oyertaxed resources OF the
rebel Government. Their lines Of commu-
nication have been cut and harmed beyond
the power Of weeks of labor to fully re-
store. Two-thirds Of Hooker's army has
not yet been brought into battle, but are
now ready to march at moments notice
lie has receive heary reinforcements. Hi
soldiers are enthusiastic, and confident il
their leader, not for what he looks to be
or for what crowd Of admirers promise
in his behalf, but foz what he has already
demonstrated, pluck, independence, and
go-ahead. The page Of this comp2ign
in Virginia is just begun. It's thrilling
drama will speedily be continued.

Il is to the New York Tribune that the
country is mainly indebted for the grossly
exaggerated accounts of the disasters that
led to, attended and eliminated in Gen,
Hookcrs late rctrograde movement. That

its unmanly, nay disgraceful, tcrgiversation

What is to be Done with the African
Regiments.

Some of the African Regiments, says
the Tribune, upon the organization OF
which the President has determined, will
be employed to guard the banks of the
Mississippi after it shall have been opened
by our fleets and armies. The immense
black population resident on the great river
will, when freed and armed, be amply
sufficient to protect peaceful commerce
from molestation. Other African regi.
ments will be employed to garrison the
forts below New Orleans and on the coast
which are exposed to the diseases of a
Southern cline. Others still will doubt
less be used to enforce the proclamation of
freedom for the benefit of their brethren.
1t is surmised that Gen. Phelps will have
an African command. 1t is the realiza-
ton of General Cameron's plan of year
ago.

The Banks, Expedition.

The BANKS expedition arrived at New
Orleans on the 14th instant, and on the
18th General BANKS superseded General
BUTLER, taking command of the Depart
ment of the Gulf, General BUTLER to re-
port Immediately at Washington. The
change took the New Orleans people by
surprise, but is readily acquiesced in.
General BANKS has an ample force, and
action is the word. The opening of the
Mississippi may be looked for at once, and
quick and heavy blows will be expected at
the vital points of the rebellion in the
Southwest. A portion of his fleet took
possession of Baton Rouge on the 18th,
the rebels having peaceably retired. We
print in another place General BUTLER $
farewell to his troops. a. .~e.r ra..

The Richmond Dispatch has the follow
ing editorial comments on JEFF. DAVIS
proclamation against BUTLER: nn
The proclamation against Butler and his
associates comes up to the full measure of
public expectation. The elaboration with
which the conclusions of the Executive
have been arrived at, gives additional So
lemnity and dignity to his purpose. The
brute and his minions will discover that it
does not follow because sentences against
an evil work is not executed speedily that
it is forgotten or forgiven. .a e,f.g,I'
! Those of our own people, too, who have
been disposed to complain of the Presi-
dents alleged Indifference to the fate of
Mumford, viii see that they have done him
great injustice, and that he has remember
ed it longer, perhaps, than some OF his
censors. In, this, as in other cases, it
would be as. well for those of us who in
habit the wales of private life, and whose
qualifications for conducting the govern
ment Of the country have never yet been
discovered by our fellow citizens, to be
very modest and charitable in orr
structures upon the course Of those whom
we have placed in power, and who from
their official and intellectual elevation are
probably able to acquire a wider sweep
of the horizon than those who dwell upon
the plains. We trust that the proclama-
ton against Butler and his officers, should
they fan into our hands, will be carried out
to the very letter. The black flag is the
only answer to the unheard-of crimes Of
these enemies of the, human race. -.

Theo Case of west virginia.

q
It is understood that the President, in
his action upon the bill now in his hands
for the admission Of West Virginia as a
separate State, viii be guided mainly by
the question Of the constitutionality of the
measures as indicated by the Attorney
General. MI. BATES has already given
his opinion in the case. It was written in
reply to a question of member of the
West Virginia Convention, in session at
Wheeling, a year and half ago. He puts
the case clearly and forcibly, and, is
opposed to The creation of ,aeav State, at
THIS period Of time. 1t is probable, under
these circumstances, that the President
win veto the bill. ,'hi,tas s'tisils'3s e a

The Proclamation Promulsated.-Thc
Rebellion Ended Without Hood
shed.

The President has issued his Proclama-
ton, granting freedom to the four or five
millions of slaves in the seeded States.
We conclude that this act ends the REBEL
ion. By the magic of the Presidents pen,
the Army of the Union has, in something
less than the -twinkling of an eye. been
increased from three quarters Of ? million
to five millions ana a'fhhf, at least. This
marvellous multiplication Of force ought to
awe, the rebel into instant submission, and
we have no. doubt it will, They could
hold their own. withpqus pretty evenly,
while the opposition forces were about
equal but it is against all conceptions of
human endurance, that jtney can stand up
with the odds against them of six to, one.
1t is a mathematical demonstration that
they can't. We may, therefore, confident
" announce. as we, hereby do, and with
the highest satisfaction, that the rebellion
is ended, and that the great proclamation
did it. bsb9sn 9Ga }.i9 Il
srIt rre i q
IN For, no man win be heretical enough to
idisbelieve in the instant and pervading eff
fcacy of the Presidential edict. To doubt,
in the innermost recesses of the mind, that
the proclamation of freedom to the slaves
of the South, actually makes them free, is
covert idisloyalty, at the least; and the
audible utterance of such a doubt is open
treason, and that without remedy. We
call upon the Provost Marshal of this State
to keep his eyes and ears open for the de-
lection and apprehension of all who ques-
ton the bearing and effect of the eman-
clifton decree. We demand of him
that he shall require his subordinate
spies to keep their eyes and ears
open, also for the same purpose
Much depends on the alertness, and
the vigor of those holding like posi-
tons, for the ultimate result. More, in
deed, than we have now time to explain.
This much, however, we will say, that he
owes it to the President, and the glorious
cause of human freedom, to chuck any
man into Fort Warren or Fort Lafayette,
who dares to assert that there has been
solitary niger in bonds on this North
American continent, since New Years
day. t1'gag
We are glad that the rebellion is def
nitely closed out. And, since it has been
accomplished SO easily, It'll pity that the
decisive step had not before been taken.
Without going very far back, it is sad to
think that this proclamation had not been
issued before BURNSIDE moved his masses
against the heights of Fredericksburg.
Ten thousand might have been saved
there, had the President been fortnight
earlier.s. But the proclamation has comeas
it has, and we must accept it thankfully as
it is. If we could not have the rebellion
ended by the middle of December, we are
glad enough that the President gave it a
quietus on the first of January.

Opening the Mississippi.

The Government is manitestly putting
forth its strength to obtain complete pos
session Of the Mississippi River. General
SHERMAN, with an immense force, is de-
scending the river, and the Banks expedi-
ton is ascending it. The fact that BANKS
troops were at Baton Rouge while SHER-
MAN was on the way to Vicksburg, is evil
IDENTIFY not an accident. The force en-
ployed in the enterprise Of opening the
Mississippi, is, we presume, ample to do the
work.

We have published, as they came to
hand, pretty full reports Of the testimony
taken before the Committee on the Con-
ductof the War, from BURSs1DE and his
generals, and from HALIRck, and the other
officials at Washington. All agree that
the failure of the Rappahannock campaign
was attributable to the non-arrival of the
pontoons at Falmouth, at the time when
they were wanted, and were expected.
But nobody seems, disposed to shoulder
the blame of the failure though
each one insists that somebody was at
fault. And SOMEBODY not being discov-
covered, it amounts, practically, to the old
fact over again, that NOBODY was to blame
NOBODY has more sins to answer for, since
this war began than was ever laid to the
charge of any known living mortal and
che will have a tough time of it in the day
Of Judgment, however easily he may slip
] through the clutches Of law and justice, as
these are administered at Washington.
hib BURNSIDE told HALLEcK that he wanted
the pontoons at Falmouth, and when he
would want them. The pontoons we're at
Washington and, as BURNSIDE had his
hands full in reorganizing his army in the
field, and preparing it for marching and
fighting, he supposed HALLEoK would at
tend to the trihing dnty Of forwarding
them. In this, however, it proved he was
mistaken 9o. 1t wasn't General-in- Chief
HALLEoK's business. aGenerals-in-C Chief
don't attend to petty details. Generals
in-Chief are absorbed in heavy brain p
work, on the most comprehensive scale.
And, supplying pontoons isn't "brain -
work, of the three star stripe; but rather
suited to a captains capacity, or at most
to colonel's. Stars have high places,
whence they glitter brilliantly or shine
serenely, far above the petty soaring
Of eagles, and all such; and the dignity
and distance of stars must be preserved in
the military as well as the celestial line +;
and HAL1EoK, therefore, does nothing and
says nothing, but shines and wrinkles in
the most approved General-ip-C Chief IS
fashion. M .r a.t..f ra.1 a.a.t

Chief. who, approaching their necessity,
yet disn,isses them from his care and
thought, as unsuited to the proprieties of
his place; and the delay follows, and all
the disasters which grow out Of it
We would like to have somebody tell us
what the duties of General-in-C Chief are.
If HAILEoK has any, he manages to shirk
the responsibilities of them with rare
facility; and to show an amount of
"brains'' in inventing excuses for doing
nothing, which might be of service to the
country, if employed in more active
field. ..... t,eea.. 5 a,Ei r. rq.r .l
