sineuIar movements Of the Rebels.

Singular Movements of the Rebels.
ga Falmouth letter dated 10th inst, to the
Philadelphia Inquirer, says: g.
zi'This morning early there appeared to be
unusual activity on the part of the rebels on
the line of railroad leading from Fredericks-
burg to Richmond. Persons on this side of
the river, familiar with rajlroading, observed,
by the signals Of the locomotive whistle, that
i've: trairs afrired ct Fredericksburg and de-
parted before eight o cloek in the morning.
ssBefores this, seldom more than one or two
trains have been observed to be in motion da-
ring this period of the day. Whether the
rebels are reinforcing or eyacuating is a mat
ter of coniecture: bnt, from tho iaaiea4feAs
around US, the latter movement is believed to
be the most probable. eco. f 80
eThis morning and yesterday a rebel brass
band could be heard plainly, from the hill
back of Falmouth, playing lively airs for an
hour or more, but no signs of an encssnpment
or troops could-be seen in the direction whence
the music came. This may be a repetition of
their old game of keeping up appearances in
our 'front.'. while at the same time they are
quietly Withdrawing their troops.

moved, on our side, over tho hills, in full view
of the rebels, and they could not have failed
to observe considerable activity within our

CDL0HED SOLDIERS.

Mr. George H. Moore, librarian Of the
New York Historical Society, has done the
country great service By the publication Of
q little historical brochure, in relation to
the employment Of negro soldiers in the
armies Of the Revolution Of 177G. We
referred to his labor5 when his vol
ume first appeared; but public sentiment
was not then ripe for entertaining the pro-
position to organize negro regiments, for
completing the work that the Revolution
commenced. Since, however, Congress
has passed a law, the effect Of which will
be to put large number Of colorcd SOL
diers into the field, it is well, for satisfying
the people who are afraid Of innovation in
a matter Of such dclicacy and importance.
to gluncc at q few Of the historical prece-
dents that Mr. Moore furnishes: and for
that purpose, we make, to-day, a somewhat
lengthy quotation from his book, inviting
for it the attention Of cur readers, who will
assurcd1y have profound respect for What
our fathers did. 1Ir: Moore is unaucstion-
cd authority in whatever concerns the his
tory Of the period to which he refers; and
lis facls must be accepted as conclusive.

Next to the bill for providing ways and

portAnce 10 business men than the Bankrupt
Bill. IE passage las been urged upon Con-
grees time and again with all The many argyll
mcnts in Its favor, hut there has been singu-
lar and fatal opposition manifested to it. On
the Sd lust, tic bill was laid On the liable in
the House, probably TO lie there through the
remainder OF this shor. session. In thus dis
posing Of a measure so vital to thousands Of
our Most honest and valuable business men,
the House has done n great wrong to the
business interests Of the country. Such 4
measure was needed to give renewed life and
activity to trade and 10 restore to active life

chains Of hopeless Indebtedness. So short 4
term remains before the adjournment of this
Congress, and 70 much is to be dune in thai
time, thai there Is hut little hope Of Ills bill
being again taken up.
Slave Catching IN the Kentucky
Army.
It is said that The delivering up Of fugi-
lives, which has been so common in the
army In Kentucky, is not the only method Of
-wagirg war upon the negroes whicl, our
c:lnps afford. The Louisville Journal says
that new traffic las sprung up III tho camps

E!ayc-bunter outside the lines, (no matter if
he is hot the real master, so long Us le will

The Way the Army IL DcmoraI-
-. E.kAd

Washington Dispatch to the New York Times,1
Col. Baker, Chief Of the Government Detcc-
tive force In this city, yesterday succeeded In
unearthing one Of the smartest schemes Of
yil]ainy that has yet been devised to den,oral-
izc the Army Of the Potomac since the present
war begun. Colonels Of regiments, for some
time past, hare realized that their commands
were being reduced feazfully by discharges
euanating from this city, but as the descr;p-
tive list Of cach one in turn was formally
"ordered," 1t was sufficient evidence for them
that the discharges were based upon proper
documentary evidence of the disability Of the
applicant, and therefore could not rerunn-
s'rate. But so many have recently been dis.
charged upon certificates Of disability, that
now whcna manis placed upon thesiex iist, tits
bus gone for his discharge papers," Col B. has
been able to ascertain that many Of these pa
1ers were obtained upon forged Surgeons
certificates, and has arrested, for participating
in this business q Dr.. Emerson, and fellow
named Chase. Their Office was iii the Nonu-
ncnlh Hotel ba1-rooEo, near the Railroad
depot: Outside appeared prominently sign
"soldiers' discharge papers obtained here"
This, Of course, attracted the attention Of
soldiers de5iIous Of going home, aud for sew
eral weeks past the Doctor and his eonfferts
hare carried on az extensive business. For
full papers Of disability signed BY the said
Emerson as an army Surgeon, each soldier
certificates Of disability hare gone through
the regular channel, and the so1diera have OBJ
tanned an honorable discharge, emitting them
to all tlc cmoluments and benefits to be de-
rived by any one. The Doctor, when arrested,
with the utmost GOODNESS acknowledged his
guilt, knowing, it Is said, that there is no law
under which he eau be punished As matter
Of safety, the Doctor and his friend Chase have
been placed in the Capitol prison.

His physique is that Of bully, Or

crs, dog fighters, and people who never

The Republican "nigger wors1iipper'
compares rather favorably with the secesa
Copperhead; and it is notorious that all
the high, generous, humane and progres-
sire ideas and measures which have bene-
fitted and ennobled these States and the
world, in modern times, have had their
origin in tie heads and hearts Of Repub-
ucans.
Secession advocates may be sure that the
party which cleares strongest to truth, to
public and private morality, to noble
thoughts and progressive ideas, is sure to
come off more than conqueror, and TO live
q benefcent existence when the bones Of
its blasphemcrs shal! hATc rOtted.

EFFECT OF AN ARM1srICEs

The Corperlleads are everywhere clam
oring for in armistice with the rebels, Stop
fighting, they say, recall the army home,
send the fleet back TO Northern scsports
and call convention 10 settle the terms
Of peace. This is saying, in different words,
withdraw tic army and grant The indepcn:-
encc Of the rebels; give up to them all
South Of Mason and Dixon, and seal
the death warrant Of the Union. An
::rmistice is exactly what tue rebels
most want, as il secures to them
The complete triumph Of their secession
and the downfall Of the Union. 4 cou-
vention such as the Copperhcads propose,
could effect nothing more than to sign arti-
cies Of agreement acknowledging the in
dependence OF the traitors, and covenent
ing the dismcmbcrment Of the Union on
the line between the free and slave States.
That would be tie boundary TN
der tho auspices OF Copperhead ar
misticc. The wnr cannot be renewed on
the part Of The Federal Government after
cessation Of hostiltics is declared for
three or six months. Our soldiers would
:'ll 60 home, either by iurlougll or French
leave, and could never be collected again
unless to repel in actual invasion Of the
frcc States, Once truce Is made, the rebels
can dictate their own terms and exact them.
Ofcoursc the blockade would be raised at
the moment an arnlistice is signed. Be-
fore six months the rebels would sell four
hundred million dollars worth Of cotton,
sugar and tobacco to Europe, and take in
exchange clothing, groceries, gunpowder,
artillery, arms and equipments Of every
description, besides purchasing navy
Of iron-clads to break any subsequent
blockade, and to prey on our commerce.
At the end Of the truce, they would
SO far have rested and recuperated, and bo
so completely equipped and prepared for
renewal Of the war that it would be
regarded BY all classes IS madness to recon-
mence tic struggle and the eftusion Of
blood.
Let it then be understood that every man
who fayors an a1mistice is advocating
dismcmbcrment of the Union, and con-
ceding the Independence ofthe rebels. An
armisticc is the triumph Of the rebellion

While England and America arc Joining
hands for the relief of the suffering operatives
IN Lancashire, there is an cutlery Of indigna-
tion against the utter Indifference shown to
the sufIcrings Of the cotton districts III
Francc. a great part Of this indifference arises
from the ignorance Of the provincial press,
and the Paris Journals, although placed nearer
to the sources Of official information, are
either fearful or careless Of telling the truth.

ever, has boldly uttered some plain truths in
relation tothis matter. He says that " France,

rance Of the horrible distress Of the operatives

of Bliconet, which Is bat four leagues to the
north of Bcauyai=, and not less than twenty
leagues from Roncn, did not know, up to the
5th Of January Last, Of the existence Of any
distress to relieve but that Of st. Peter; and
nearly the whole Ct the eonmuncs Of the Oise
are in the same ignorance"
The number Of French operatives employed
In the cotton manufacture Is over 500, 600.
Two'thirds Of these people are out Of employ
ment, and are reduced to state Of suffering
Fery similar to that which prevails in Lanca-
shire. Thus far, bnt limited Efforts have been
made for their relief Among the notable in
stances Of the charity which Inns been extend
ed to these unfortunate persona is that Of the
proprietors of the Steele and the persons in
the employ Of that journal, all Of whom gave
