umphant, and the advocates and
friends of civil order scarcely show
their heads. l think this dastardly
policy has been made the rule of &C.
ton far too much by our leading Mill
tary Authorities. I would not con-
tend that it might not be made an ex-
ception in some extreme case but to
adopt it as criterion. as our Military
has seemed to do, has most assuredly
a very damaging effect.
I believe that Morgan ought to
have been tried and hung immediate
ly-and had he been, it would have
produced a thrilling effect on the reb-
ell Authorities. If there be a Divine
Providence, justice will always be
recognized thereby, and, in the end,
good will be the result. 1t is so, as
sure as the fates. But if we prosti-
tute justice to an imaginary or fan
cied good, we fail of the end sought.
Therefore, do justly and leave the end
with God. AS ever yours,
PETER PERDY.

The Army of the Potomac.

This army has returned to the posi-
ton it occupied week ago. 1t has
returned without a great success, and
without disaster. At least it's mobili.
ty has been demonstrated. And reb.
ell forces that might have been dis
patched to trouble us in Northern
Georgia or East Tennessee, have been
held in Virginia. Gen Meade has
handled his troops, through the late
maneuvering, in good style. When
he found Lee in position stronger
than he had at Gettysburg, he declin-
ed to assault it, and the chances are
that he decided wisely. The impress
ion will 60 abroad that the Army OF
the Potomac will go into winter quar-.
tiers. But we expect to hear that il
is in motion again before many days.
There is more than one road to Rich.
mond. Gen. Lee, it is very clear, is
not anxious to fight the Army of the
Potomac. When it goes forward he
takes to "the wilderness" The reb.
els can not congratulate themselves
upon a success. They may rejoice
as much as they please at their cs-
cape Cincinnati Commercial.

The steamer Massachusetts arrived
at Philadelphia from Charleston bal
on the 4th, with news that General
Gilmore was still throwing shells in.
to Charleston, at the rate of twenty a
day. The shells were seen to burst
in the night. The inhabitants were
removed to the rear of the city. The
firing on Sumpter has ceased. Gill
more has turned his attention to the
forts inside the harbor.
A Charleston despatch Of the 30th
says: 1.-THE Yankees to-day threw
twenty-five mortar shells at Sumpter
Ten men were killed in the Fort. The
Yankees fred thirteen shot at the city
last night. Three buildings we're struck.
The enemy made a Reconnaissance to
Pocotaligo, and carried of twenty sev.
en- negroes" A second despatc b says
g. the enemy fred sixteen shells into
the city this forenoon. several build.
ings were struck. and one woman was
severely wounded"
"DEc. q. The enemy opened fire
this P. n. on the city and threw six
shells. A concentrated fire from our
batteries caused them to cease firing"

Mammoth Stage Company.

st. Paul is the headquarters of one
of the largest Stage Companies in the
Northwest, welding more capital than
any other in the Western States, and
whose lines altogether are more ex-
tensive than Of any other one company.
We refer to the Minnesota Stage
Company" owned by j. G. Burbank,
Russell Blakely and John l.. Merriam.
This Company are now running over
six hundred and fifty horses and one
hundred coaches, and their lines are
over twelve hundred miles in length
altogether. On the La Crosse and
Saint Paul route, which they run from
November 18th to April 18th, annually,
they have 800 horses and 20 coaches
and sleighs, sufficient to run four times
daily. So extensive is the business Of
this line that the movements of the
stages are directed by telegraph. They
also run during the winter season
daily route from La Crosse to Manka-
to, through the central portions of the
State. Also daily line from Saint
Paul to Mankato, running through all
the Minnesota Valley towns and from
Saint Paul southwark to Owatona,
via. Faribault. Northward they run
daily to st. Cloud and tri-weekly to
Fort Ripley and Fort Abercrombie, the
latter line being AGO miles in length.
They also have daily line to Stillwa-
ter, and tri-weekly line to Sunrise
and Superior.

The Upper Mississippi Trade.

The Minnesota Packet Company
have hauled off nearly all their boats.
The sale of their entire line OF steam
boats, barges and other property has
recently been perfected. The deliv.
cry of the property will take place as
soon as navigation closes. The old
company that has for many years al
most ruled the trade of the Upper Mis-
sissippi will pass out of existence al
together. The purchasers are not the
Illinois Central Railroad Company as
a corporation, but gentlemen intimate
ly connected with it, so much 80 that,
to all intents and purposes, the line OF
boats will run under the same man
agement. The property sold consists
OF fifteen steamers, twenty'seven BAR
ges with all the equipments and APP
purtenances, and some ware house
property. for which $l50,00 is paid.
1t is the intention of the new proprie-
tors to give the boats a thorough
overhauling during the winter, and IN
the spring bring them out with facili-
ties and accommodations For both
freight and passenger traffic greater
than ever before. 1t is understood
there will be a general change of com.
manders and officers.
We understand that it is the inten-
ton of the Milwaukee and Prairie du
Chen Railway Company to place on
the river, next spring, line of boats
exclusively under their control, and
not be dependent, as heretofore, upon
another company for boats to do their
business and run in connection with
their road. This will give us three
distinct lines of steamers next season,
aside from the st. Louis line, and
lively competition may be expected.

The Fur Trade.
On the subject of Canada Furs the
Montreal Herald says:

On the subject of Canada Furs the
Montreal Herald says:
lowing to the low stage of water
on the Mississippi and Missouri, the
largest part of the American collec-
tion of buffalo skins did not reach
market this season, and the Hudson's
Bay Company, by some cause or other,
has not brought forward its usual col
lections. From these causes buffalo
robes have run up to an unheard-oi-
price in New York, the whole market
being monopolized by one party. No.
l are held there to-day at thirteen dol
lars instead of six dollars. The Ca
madam market, therefore, cannot be
supplied from that source, and only the
remaining skins of last years collec-
ton are in our market, which sell
from 74081 per robe. The sale OF
manufactured furs has been unusually
brisk both for Upper and Lower Cana
da, and the manufacturers feel badly
the want of sufficient brands, the stock
on hand begins to show that assert
ment gives out; opossum fur is the
leading article for the Upper Canada
trade, and Persian lamb and otter for
Lower Canada"

Correspondence of the Charles City Intelgence
From the 9TH Iowa Infantry.
IN CAMP, pulaski, Tenn,
Nov. ocd 1SR3

IN CAMP, Pulaski, Tenn,
Nov. god, 1858.
FRIEND HTLDRErH Thinking some
ofthe readers of your paper would
like to hear from the old 18th Iowa,
and Company B, l take this opportu-
nifty to inform you of our whereabouts.
We left Lagrange, Tenn, on the 30th
OF October, and came by Rail to Iuka,
Miss. Left Iuka on the 9Th of Novem-
Der and marched to Eastport, eight
miles. Eastport is on the Tennessee
river, and is used mostly for q cotton
market. Crossed the river at that
place and marched east through q
portion of North Alabama. The coun-
try looked desolate. passed some
very nice residences, the owners OF
which were rebels of the darkest dye.
We had good weather on our march,
and after five days arrived at Pulas-
Xxi, Tennessee. There are three brig
AIDES here. Col. Rice. of the 7th Iowa,
commands the first brigade and
General G. NJ. Dodge is in command
Of all the troops here.
Pulaski is in all respects desirable
place of residence. Much taste has
been displayed in laying out and orna-
menting door yards and gardens. and
many residences in the suburbs are
surrounded by elegant and spacious
grounds. Pulaski, before the war,
contained some $500 inhabitants.
The Court House is beautiful build
ing, much better than some of our
Northern counties can boast of. The
town is situated on the Railroad that
runs from Nashville to Athens, Ala
bama. The road is not in running or.
der now, but will be in about three
weeks. Three Companies of our Regi-
ment are building bridges on the road,
and as quick as the Railroad is in run
ming order it will make lively times.
As it is now, we have to draw our sup
plies from Columbia, thirty-6ve miles.
The health of the troops is good
There is very little sickness in this de.
partment. Good water and plenty to
eat make soldiers contented and
happy. Yours for during the war,

Good News from Burnside.

The great blow, so long and so anx-
iously anticipated, was struck on the
night of the goth. Being reinforced
by the troops of Sam Jones, Jackson
and Williams, Longstreet sought to
annihilate the Army of the Ohio, un-
der Burnside, by coup de gnerre. He
selected seven picked regiments. At
10 o'clock Sunday night skirmishing
commenced. Our pickets were driven
in. and the enemy had possessed them
selves of some rifle pits, but the Mas
sachusetts boys drove them back, and
suddenly the rebel storming party, led
by the 10th and 18th Georgia, and
18th Mississippi, came to the assault.
They approached to within one hun
dred yards of the fort unframed. Then
commenced series of desperate and
daring attacks, stubborn resistance,
death, carnage and horror, scarcely
equalled during the war. These rebel
troops were the veterans of the Poto-
mac, the flower of Longstreet's army,
and, confident of promised victory,
they plunged into hell of leaden hail.
Wire had been stretched from stump
to stump in front of the works. Over
these the advancing foe fell in confus-
ed heaps, with the killed and wound
ed around them. Our artillery men
threw shells by hand. The boys would
bite off the fuse with their teeth, ig-
mite it, and hurl the shells among the
doomed rebels Hotter and hotter
became the battle, until the ground
over which the enemy came was GOV.
cred with the slain. The ditch was
literally filed with dead, wounded and
dying rebels. Not one on their side
faltered-not a score Of the gallant
stormers escaped. When daylight
came, the sun 10 his rising looked
down through the cold mist and chill
ling frost upon the remains only of
that brave assaulting army. More
than one thousand killed, wounded
and prisoners, was the cost Of the at
tack
Nobly did Fort Saunders sustain
the reputation of its namesake and
avenge his fall. Gen. Burnside offer
ed Longstreet an armistice from 10
o'clock till o'clock to remove his
wounded and bury his dead. II was
accepted. The rebel officers express
ed establishment at the strength of
our works and the valor of our men.
Our loss did not amount to eighty men,
all told. Over fifty of these belonged
to the 9th Kentucky who were cap
tured on the opposite side of the river.
Besides $50 prisoner, we captured
three battle flags. Sherman, with re-
Inducements, was expected to arrive
the next day, and Longstreet knew it.
All honor to the gallant Burnside and
his brave men
