CoNTRABAND NEws.-The government Off
Gals here and the commanders in the field
have justly complained of the premature pnb-
LEGATION of the movements of troops, and it
has been determined several times to arrest
and try by court-martial-as authorized by
law Of last sesson-the guilty parties, but
there has ever been such a hue and cry over
any arrests of that nature, that nothing has
been done. The military authorities resolved
a few days since to throw themselves upon
Sthe patriotism of the newspaper press Of the
country and the honor OF the various Journal
lists in Washington, by personally requesting
them to refrain from any mention of the
movements of troops or any allusion to con-
templated movements or plans. twas thought
that this would be far better than issuing a
general order.
You may well judge of the surprise, when
it was telegraphed to the war department this
morning that two journals in less than twelve
hours after receiving the request, had violated
it. There is great Indignation over the fact,
and it is quite probable the journals in ques-
ton will be deprived of the use of the military
telegraph llnes-all being in possession of the
government-and the parties arrested. 1t
would seem that we might at least initiate the
rebel Journals, and refrain from publishing

to the enemy Washington Cor, eSpondenCt

WHAT IS AN ADoMTIoNIsr?-W find the
following definition OF the term ''abolitioniSt"
quoted from the Southern Literary Messen-
ger, a Richmond Publication
IAN abolitiOnlst is any man who does not
love slavery for its own sake as divine in
stitution, who does not worship it as a corner
stone Of civil liberty, who does not adore it
as the only possible social condition on which
a permanent republican government can be
created and who does not in his inmost soul
desire to see it extended and perpetuated over
the whole earth, as Il means of human retor-
nation second in dignity, Importance, and sa-
credness, to the Christian religion. He who
does not love African slavery with this love is
an abOlitionst"
Some of our contemporaries in the loyal
states, as for instance the Courier, have
adopted this definition for some time past,
with such marked care and precision, that we
might almost suspect them of having beeu
furnished with slips in advance from the Mes
senger office.-Daity AdrertiSer.

turning from Knoxville, burned the bridges
behind him, rendering it impossible for Gen
burnside to reinforce Gen. RosecranS, with
any Spced-besdeS, Gen. Burnside had to
keep AN eye to the east, where in twenty
four hours an army of 10000 men could be
poured down upon him from Lynchburg, on
the great Virginia and Tennessee railroad, in
full possession of the rebels.
The country in north Georgia is rather a

GiIImOre's ''Swamp Angep Heard in
England.

From the London Telegraph, sept.9
''The Swamp Angel" as the tederals call
the big gun of Gen. Gilmore, has surely bel
lowed loud enough at Fort Sumter to wake up
some of our critics at home to what is a fact
in despite of them. They have criticised the
American struggle throughout as if it had
been hole and corner intrigue of half Il dOz
en- politicians, instead of grand and convul-
slve atonement to Nemesis tor national mis-
take committed three generations ago. As
they nave under-estimated the civil contest
50 they have overlooked the Titanic character
OF the military duel, peddling and muddling
over strategies on the map, and blind mean
while to the revolution which these giant
combatants are accomplishing in the art of
warfare. The same small critical faculty
which sneers at the passion of people. and
mistakes it for the intrigues Of back parlor.
will, we dare say, chatter about the fate of
Sumter, and ignore the stupendous circum-
stances Of its fall.
1t the Americans are vain of being ''big,
why not do them the justice of contesSing that
they attain that adjective, in their contentious,
their sufierngs, and their engines and meth
DDS of warfare! Twice in the course Of the
two years struggle, they have altered the
complexion of the science OF destruction; once
on the water and once on the land. The mon
itOr and Merrlmac contessedly initiated a new
era in naval tactics. The plates Of both are
hardly rusted yet by the.sait water, into which
they went down SO soon; but already every
country that pretends to keep the sea armed,
is fitting out vessels after their kind, ponder
Gus Goliaths of iron, descended literally from
the memorable fight in Hampton water. Now
it is a revolution in the art OF attack by bat
terry and defense by battlements which these
enerset fighters have developed. Sumteris
down, preached and shattered into such a ruin
that hardly one stone stands upon another OF
the fort which first flew the flag of secession

RosEcRANs AND THoMAs.-The New York
Post says the most intimate relations existed
between these officers long before the out
break of the present war. Gen. Rosecrans
said one day last winter, George IL. Thomas
is a man of extraordinary character. Years
ago, at the military academy, l conceived
there were points of strong resemblance be-
tween his character and that of Washington.
l was in the habit of calling him General

Correspondence Ct the Lpnden Times
PARIS, Sept. IA, 1868.
The presence of the Florida at Brest con-
tinues greatly to interest the Paris papers,
which deal in not few marvellous tales con-
corning her. Two federal frigates, they say,
are on their way to Brest to catch her as size
goes out, but they will be disappointed, be-
cause she is to be sold, and Capt Maffit and
his crew will man the new Florida, now wait
ing for them i'll England. They might at least
Tell us where the new Florida is to be found
in order that the British government might be
on the watch TO prevent breach of interna-
uonal law; but the newsmongers are silent on
that head, aud the incredulous are inclined to
think the new craft myth, ruoored III some
cove in cloudland.
Another correspondent writes:
at appears that the Flordas screw and
engine are out of order, and it is supeos ed
that before she Is ready for sea, federal cruis-
ers will be watching for her of Brest. We
hear that the captain %! the Florida has offer
ed to deposit the sum necessary TO satisfy the
claims made upon the ship by French ship
owners until such time as the tribunals shall
have decided upon their validity. The at
tachment of the Florida is not allowed to take
place while she is in the dockyard of the i'm
perial navy. If the obstacles which it is
sought to place in the way of her quitting
Brest be removed or disalowed, it will be
found that instead of her being sold in France
she will proceed to sea when her repairs are
completed"

From La France, Sept. IA.

The seventy-tive seamen who landed from
the confederate steamer now at Brest have
arrived in England, and taken possession OF
the new Florida, the fitting out of which is
being pursued with the greatest activity Two
trisatcs from the north, one of which is said
to be at Lisbon, and the other, by the latest
advices, had left Bermuda, are expected at
BreSt, to give chase to the Florida; but that
vessel, on being repaired, will be sold by the
captain, who will go to England with his staff
and join the new Florida Several incorrect
details respecting the judicial incident con-
nected with the confederate cruiser have been
published. According to the laws and regu-
lations applicable to those circumstances, the
Florida cannot be sliced while in the arsenal,
and it is only on her removal to the CONNER
cial harbor that the regular action of the law
can be put into operation.

OUR ScHooL.-The Montpelier correspondent
of the Rutland Herald makes the following com
phmentary mention of our school, and its excel
lent teachers
1t is probably known, at le'st to all those who
take an interest in Educational matters, that
MONTPELIER is one of the towns that have a fine
system of graded schools The building is three
stories high, having spacious hall in the upper
one, and eight or nine school rooms in the other
two stories There are nearly 400 scholars Of
all grades in attendance, about 80 Of whom are
in the high school. In passing through the en-
tries and landings, one may hear the exercises of
spelling, reading, singing and recitation going
on simultaneously The Rotations were in all
respects highly creditable to the teacher, Mr.. d.
D. Gorham and the pupils. Mr.. Gorham, 1t
may be added, is native eff Rutland.

New YORK, Nov 9. Dispatches from the front
are to the effect that Gen Fitzpatrick occupied
the city and heights of Fredel Icksburg, and was
in position to hold them till the infantry could
reach him.
1t is probable that the army has already
reached him, and is now intrenching itself on
the south bank of the Rappahannock.
