MAJoR-GENERAL McCooK, in relinquish.
ing the command of the Twentieth Army
Corps at Chickamauga on the 9th inst,
issued the following farewell order:
Officers and Soldiers ot'the 20M Army Corps:
An. order will soon reach you consolida.
ting your gallant regiments, brigades and
divisions with the 2lst corps. With that
order / am relieved from command in this
army, and directed to report at Indianapo-
lis, Indiana, there to appear before court
Of inquiry.
After being relieved from command, I
could ask no greater favor of the War De-
partment than thorough investigation of
my conduct during the two memorable days
of Chickamauga, for | do not fear the is
sue. My great regret will be the breaking
up of the glorious associations formed after
so long service in tho Army of the Cum
berIand, end the bidding farewell to the
gallant officers and soldiers of this corps.
You will have new corps and division
commanders. To them, as you have at all
times to me, yield obedience. Give them
additional evidence of your discipline,
zeal, and patriotism in our great cause; and
never lay down your arms until this unholy
rebellion is crushed, the Union permanent
ly restored, peace secured that will allow
you to return to your homes and fresides.
You have been slandered and maligned
by news scribblers. who, unfortunately, in
our country, mould the public mind. Of
fetal reports will do you justice before the
world.
return my thanks to every officer and
soldier of the corps for his gallantry in.,ac-
tion and his hearty cooperation and devo-
ton to duty.
With this | leave you, and my earnest
prayer ever shall be that God may prosper
you as a corps, and as individuals, and ever
give you victory when struggling for your
nation and glorious flag.
A. Med. McCooK,
Major General

Playing into Each Others
Hands.

Not year ago, THURLow WEED, the
RennbIcan leader, uttered in the Albany
Journal, these startling and true words:
1.-The chief architects of the rebellion, be
fore it broke out, were aided in their infer
nal designs by the Abolit:onists of the
North This was too true, Tor without
such aid the South could never have been
united against the Union. But for the in
cendary recommendations which rendered
the otherwise useful Helper book fire,
brand, North Carolina could not have been
forced out of the Union And even now,
The al !ra Abolition press and speech makers
ave areravating the horrors they helped to
create, e thus playing into the hands OF
the leaders of the rebellion and keeping
downthe Union men of the South, and rem
derine reunion difficult if not impossi-
bic. -
If this was true in 1862, how doubly true
is it Lotnow! The two extremes of ag-
itators and factionists are playing into each
Others hands, The Richmond Enquirer
and New York Tribune. agreeing in COM
mon hatred of tue Democracy, play into
each other hands now as before the rebel
lion The Enquirer publishes insulting
articles 10 infame and unite the North,
and the Tribune utters doctrines which
consolidate the South. . Jo
Those two organs started years ago upon
this dishonest work. Each infamed to the
utmost the fauaticism of its followers
Each taught them to hate the opposite Sec
ton. While Southern States were hesita-
ting on the brink of Secession, GREELEY
came out and proclaimed to them that thew
had the same right as the Colonies had in
the Revolution. He assured them they
might with security try the experiment.
Thus usrgsd on, they took the fatal
plunge.

Two GREAT ARMIES BEFORE THE CAPITAL.
If the news should suddenly reach US
that two great armies, like those Of Gems.
Meade and Lee, had arrived before the city
Of Paris, and that one was menacing the
French capital and the other defending it,
our whole population would actually get
excited over the announcement, and look
anxiously for the arrival ofthe next steam
or to learn the result. But the fact that
two such armies do positively rest in front
of their National Capital creates no alarm

The PRESIDENTS NEGRO COLONY IN
HAYTL-In April, 1863, the President made
contract with parties for the deportation OF
FIVE hundred persons of color to an island
on the southwest coast of Hayti, and for
their colonization. Recently information
has reached here that these colonists were
badly provided for, and many of them died
of disease, while Others fled to more desira-
BILE localities. An agent will be despatched
to inquire into the facts and report upon
the present condition of affairs.

Now the question before the country IL,
whether the slaveholding States will be al
lowed to return. Never, cry the radicals,
except upon the basis Of emancipation and
the stipulation Of negro rights. All State
constitutions must be abolished, as already
the Federal constitution has been broken
down by the violence of fanatics. IA
Such men are indeed "the architects o.
ruin But are we contentedly to sit by and
contemplate their work? Are the grea1
majority of the people-the masses WHIT
loved the Union, Conservatives who dreat
revolution, to set supinely by and see thi
monstrous work of desolation go on? No

natics, who have nostrength but imposture
and no courage but the insolence of ephe
neral power. ' ''', l'- ''--

Cavalry Movements i'm Ten
neSSeG.

nessee.
The Nashville Press says that the rebel
cavalry after leaving the neighborhood of
Murfreesbore, proceeded south, and separa-
ted into two parties. the one taking the
Unionville road, and the other going by
Pennington, in the direction of Columbia
The two parties ATTEMPTED to reunite neal
Pennington, when they were overtaken by
the advance of Gen, Mitchell's command,
and a running fight ensued for about eight
miles. The result is sixty or more of the
enemy killed and two hundred and forty
rebels and four pieces of artillery captured
Federal loss, fifteen. The Press informant,
a cavalry officer, was dispatched to Muir
freesboro with the prisoners, and Was after
wards informed, from creditabe source,
that our cavalry had again overtaken the
enemy, and, in a sabre charge by the 9TH
Pennsylvania and another regiment, the
rebels had lost about 300 prisoners.
The rebel force that took the KNOXVILLE
road had heavy wagon train, of which
they lost four. This party we have not
since heard from, but, as portion Of the
Union cavalry was on their trail, we may
suppose that something has happened on
that route That portion of the rebels
which was engaged near Pennington, with
Wheeler at it's head, seems to have direct
ed its course toward Columbia The small
Federal force occupying that place, upon
hearing of the advance of Wheeler's caval
~, retired to Franklin, unmolested in the
movement. 1t is understood that some
damage was done to the Railroad near War
trace. Upon the whole, with the lights be-
fore us, we conclude that Wheeler's force
has been effectualy beaten and scattered,
and that the raid has failed in materially
interrupting the communication of General
Rosecrans with his base at Nashville.
