WARRINGTON, October 2O.-A special 70
the Tribune says:
Your correspondent reports that the
Army of the Potomac are in full pursuit of
the Fetrsating rebel forces. Trains run out
to BristOw to-day and large quantities Of
railroad material are transported for put
ting the track In repair and re- building the
bridges. The rebels destroyed the track
for miles, burning ties and digging down
the grading. Prisoners assert that It is
entirely destroyed for - miles beyond Cat
let's, and Lees object was to capture sup
plies and so disable the road, that We could
not disturb him until another corps of his
army could be sent to Bragg aud return,
our forces in the meantime pushing on but
thus far without opposition, or any indica-
lions Of being able to halt Lee and force
general engagement this side Of the Rapi-
dan. Our cavalry captured about q dozen
prisoners last night at Catlelts.
An orderly of Gen. Merilt's came in from
the advance at four o'clock this morning,
reporting a:cOnsiderable body Of cavalry
and infantry advancing up the road, bat up
to dark no demonstrations were made, aud
it is supposed to have been merely q strong
picket force for the night
Large numbers OF our cavalry are being
refitted with fresh horses and equipments,
and every thing put in preparation for Wig
orous work.
A special to the Times says the mystery
of Lees movement last week Is uncovered.
Part of his army was at Culpepper this
morning, being vigorously embarked on
trains of cars for the southwest.

R9-. YOUNG GIRLS ENrIoED Orion
Saturday last six or eight young girls
mysteriously disappeared from GAINESVILLE
and Putnam. One OF them fortunately
left note in her room, stating that they
were going in chargeOf certain Captain
to the South, to act as nurses in the Mill
tary Hospitals. The parents of the young
adventurers we're agonized with grief, when
they discovered they had gone, and
Immediately dispatched some gentlemen
after them. By Monday evenings Colum-
bus Express, We learn that two girls, sup
posed to belong to the party, one hailtng
from GAINESVILLE, and the other from Put
nam, were arrested at the depot in that
city on Saturday afternoon, dressed in
military apparel. They had large guam
tity of letters from anonymous CORES pond
ents, who are in the army, and judging
from the tenor of the Communications, and
from the action of the girls, there is no
doubt but what they were enticed away
from their comfortable homes, by that ro-
mantle, but decidedly injurious pleasure Of
answering or inserting advertisements,
headed WANTED Correspondence" They
had purchased tickets for Cincinnati.-
Their exposure appears to have been taken
very hard by them and in reality they were
on their way to join their pretended lovers.
The Express says they behaved very mod
estly, and appeared to be, as they really
are, highly respectable. These girls are
perfectly innocent, but most Wofully de-
luded. They will be returned to Zanes-
vile. 1t is earnestly to be hoped that the
others will also be found and sent home
before it is too late.

burn down your house, according to the
amusing story of Charles Lamb, in order
to roast pig.
1t seems to be only according to COM
mon prudence, that private enterprise, If
enlisted now, should be regulated by the
object in view. To this end, it is not ne
ce- sary that it should assume form cal
culated to awaken solcitude. The way is
simple. If citizens are willing to unite in
the efforts of the government, let them
place their ships at its disposal, to be COM
missioned as national ships, and let the
government on its part offer bounty and
prize money in addition to pay and rations,
for the capture of the Alabama and her
piratical comrades The motive power
will thus be adapted to the object in view,
while our country will be saved from all
chance of additional complication, and also
from the stigma of reviving policy which
civilization condemns.
The argument of economy is some-
times pressed in favor of letters of marque.
But it is poor economy to employ an
agency which, in its very nature, seems
inapplicable to the present case. Besides,
l doubt if any success which can be rea-
sonably expected from such ships, called
by the French corsai,'es, will be COM
pensation for the bad name they will give
us, and the bad passions they will en-
gender.
l hope do not take to great liberty
in sending you this sequel to our CONVEX
sation. At all events, you will be pleased
to accept my best wishes, and believe me,
my dear sir,
With much regard,
Very faithfully yours,
CHARLES SUMNER.

IRISH EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES.
1t is stated in the Cork Examiner. that
the number of persons who have left Ker-
ry for the United States during the last
fortnight of March, exceeded all that had
emigrated during the two previous years.
Almost every morning crowds OF persons,
principally of the farming clrss, were seen
taking their departure from the railway
station, Killarney, on their way to Queens
town for America. They rush out from
the country (says the Ecamine,) as they
would from a contagion, fearing that by
remaining in it they may be reduced to
and then become permanent
inmates of the workhouse 1t appears
that large sums of money have been sent
over from America lately by the relatives
of persons in that part of the country, and
in many cases tickets have been enclosed
in the letters for the passage across the
Atlantic

The Chicago Election.

The victory at Chicago is worth hundred
thousand voices and even bayonets for peace.
The administration used every means which
greenbacks, fat contracts, officers and arbitrary
power gave them to carry the election; but,
thanks to the pure peace Democracy of Chi
cago, we have won q signal victory. The is
sue made in the Democratic convention and at
the election was peace against war, and as the
war Democrats were slaughtered in the con-
vantion, so were the war party defeated at the
election.-Dubuque Herald.
So far as the above paragraph represents
the Democratic convention as opposing the
suppression of the rebellion by war, it is
untrue. The resolutions of the conven-
tlon expressly censure the administration
tor its bad management and failures in
suppressing the rebellion with the means
SO literally placed at its disposal. The
convention slaughtered nobody dy-it recog-
nized but one school of Democracy, those
who are faithful to all the obligations
which the constitution imposes and fervent
patriotism inspires. All others it rejected
as enemies to the constitution and the Un-~
ion.-Chicago Post.

Letters Of Marque and Reprisal.
LITTER FROM MR.. SUMNER.

The following letter from Mr.. Sumner
discusses with earnestness the propriety of
issuing letters of marque:
WASHINGTON, March II, 1868
Ny DEAR SIR: In the freedom of that
conversation which had with you as we
drove to the Capitol recently, allow me
for moment to speak again of the ques-
ton which interested us then. **
confess that am anxious that the
issuing OF letters of marque should be
avoided, not merely because it will give us
a bad name, without any commensurate
good, nor because it wonld be departure
from the only and often declared policy of
our government, which has not hesitated
by the pen of Benjamin Franklin and John
Quincy Adams, to denounce privateering
as an enormity," but because it does not
meet, in practical way, the precise ne
cessity of this time People who advo-
cate it are obviously misled by our expert
ence in another generation, when we were
at war with a nation whose commerce was
a temptation and reward to private en-
terprise. The case is so different now
that the old agency is entirely inappli-
cable.
The privateer cruises for booty, which is
instead of rations and pay to owners, Off
GERS and men. But if the booty does not
exist, or if it is in such inconsiderable
quantities as to afford small chance of val
liable prizes, it is evident that you must
find some other system of compensation;
in other words, you must abandon the idea
of private enterprise, stimulated and sus-
tained by booty. An agency must be en-
ployed which is applicable to the present
case-precisely as in machinery a force
must be employed best calculated to do
the work in hand.
Now our present business is to help the
government in capturing the Alabama and
her piratical comrades, and also to catch
blockade runners. But letter of marque
is not the proper instrument for this pur-
pose; nor will the chance of booty be the
best way to stimulate and sustain the
cruiser, while it is obvious that such ship,
invested, as it will be, with the belligerent
right of search, which for the sake ofbooty
it will be tempted to exercise on neutral
commerce, may become the occasion of
contention and strife with foreign powers.
Privateers have never been remarkable
for the caution or reserve with which thew
employed belligerent rights 1 would not
exaggerate the troubles which might en-
sue, but when I think of these sea rovers
now, with license to overhaul neutral
ships, and to infict upon them visitation
and search, l feel how much evil may en-
sue compared with the good. You would
not threaten whole street in order to
catch few robbers who had sought shell
ter in some of its recesses; nor would you

The great State OF Georgia-the EN-
pire State of the South-refuses to prop
the fall of the internal Confederacy, into
which she was mobbed, by indorsing the
Confederate currency. The Confederate
paper has gone up, and the Confederacy
itself is in condition of blindness of one
eye and liberation of the other, neuralgia
in the face and abscess in the back, strik-
ingly resembling the personal condition of
jeff. Davis and Alexander Stephens.

"A curious affair recently came off at
Rome. Miss Hosmer the American sculp-
tor from Watertown, Massachusetts, had
challenged Mr.. Spiers, an English gentle
man and the master of the hounds, to ride
steeple-chase match. The event took
place in the presence Of a numerous
field Of British, American, and sporting
Roman spectators. Miss Hosmer rode well
and took all her leaps, stone walls, rails
and hurdles, very pluokily, and led until
near the winning post, when Mr.. Spiers
jockeyship overcoming his gallantry, he
called on his horse and came in winner.
