THE OBJECTS OF THE WAR.-The Bos

The OBJECTS OF THE WAR-The Bos-
ton Commonwealth, an abolition paper,
argues that this war is being prosecuted
lsolely.for the purpose of abolishing sla-
very, and asks the following Questions:
"lf this war is not for the abolition Of
slavery, what is it for? Is it to recover five
or six stone and dirt forts? is it to get
u few small towns as Richmond FOR
Charleston ? Is it to get few thousand
dollars in the shape of revenue from States
which refuse to pay it? Is it to bring
back Floyd, Wigfall and Davis to take
Washington as Congressman which they
have been unable to take as generals? Is
it for these glorious objects that we are
spending more money than all the rev.
enues ever given by all the seeded
States put together? Is 1T for this that
we have sacrificed, North and South, twice
as many young men as there are slavehol-
ders in sAmerica /? If SO, the, Yankees
are foolish race, who are not worth
saving, and will not be saved ~

TIE MEssENeER BREED OF lIoRsEs.-P. NJ. Sill
ceF Esq, of baltimore County, has one of this
breed Of horses, which he intends sending to this
county in a week or two. This horse was pur-
chased in the Stale Of Maine, and is descendant
ina direct line, of Messenger, 1.-THE most famous
progenitor of half-bred stock, that was ever i'm
ported into this country He is fifteen hands
three inches high, fich golden sorrel, very
stylish, u fast trotter, and a remarkably amiabie
disposition. His sire, the Eaton horse, has more
fast trotting descendants. than any horse in
Maine. 4 He was purchased not long since by an
agricultural society in the State of Tennessee at
a very high price. The majority of the trotting
horses and roadsters now used in Boston and the
cities further north areof the Eaton stock At
the time Of the purchase Of this horse by Mr.. Sill,
Ger he was rapidly growing into favor from the
uniform excellence of his colts, some of which
are said to be most, extraordinary in beauty,
power and action. The rates charged are of snf-
,icient moderation to bring him within the reach
of persons in moderate circumstances.

Nashville, says
The enemy's returns seem to indicate
that Bragg is moving in large force UPON

of breaking through our lines in that di-
rection.
1t is generally believed here that this

of Lees forces from Virginia moving down
by way of Lynchburg and Bristol, Virginia,
with the intention of driving Burnside
from East Tennessee, and turning the flank
of his army and thus compelling its retire.

A special to the World from Washington
SAYS there have been several light skirmish-
es along the front to-day, though indicating
no probable engagement.
1t seems settled fact that for the pres
ent the enemy are resolved on defensive
movements to prevent our forces from cross

Movements of LOngstreet and

New YORK, Oct ga special to the
Times contains the following:
CHATTANOOGA, Oct 9th VIA NASHVILLE
Oct 2s.-Unreliable intelligence has been
received of the movement of portion Of
Bragg's army, under Longstrset, up the
valley of the Tennessee river with the IN
teution of operating against Burnside. II
is also believed here that corps OF Lees
army under Ewsll is moving into East Ten
nesee, by way of Lynchburg, for the same
purpose.
A Chattanooga letter to the Herald says
Deserters continue to come into our lines,
Notwithstanding the extraordinary measures
taken by Bragg to prevent them. Nine
men, one commissioned officer, who are
Tennesseeans came in yesterday. The ofh
Ger who is intelligent apd apparently hon
est told tale which is cheering and nspir-
ing to all good Union men, and which cor.
roborates previou. information. He says a
full brigade of Tennesseans with their Gen
eral at the head attempted to move through
to our lines in body one day last week,
and that division was called out to
prevent them when a fight of the most
sanguine character ensued in which artllle-
ry, musketry and bayonets were used for
three or four hours, resulting in the over
towering of the disconnected Tennesseeans
after some 800 men had been slaughtered
on both sides. The sound of the firing was
distinctly heard in our lines at the time but
nobody could explain the phenomenon OF
the brisk fire SO close to the enemy's rear.
The officers say the matter was hushed up
and has been kept quiet that the extreme
of Bragg's army knows nothing definite
about it. Bragg's distrust of his Tennessee
end Georgia troops is perhaps an explana'
ton Of his delay in attacking the place.
Major Gen. Gordon Granger takes COM
mand of the 4th corps. Gen'ls Thomas
and Granger are now universally acknowl-
edged the sayiours of the army, and each
have splendid corps, three divisions in
each, with able commanders at their head.
Brigades will probably be composed OF
not less than nine regiments each OF in
fantry. The whole marching of the army,
when re organized, will be less complicated
and more effective.
The health Of the army, Notwithstanding
the labor and anxiety it has experienced, is
very good. A large field hospital IS estab'
lishsd in a lovely valley, two miles from
the town. north of the river, and the SICK
receive the best Of care and food.

| WAsH1NsroN. Oct. 29--Gen. Meade has
within day or two made some changes in
the position of his forces looking to the
better protection of those engaged in the
reconstruction of the Orange and Alexan'
der railroad. While this change was being
effected at about o'clock yesterday morn
ing the rebels made demonstration against
the 9th corps but nothing further was &C.
complished than driving in their picksts a
short distance when the rebels retired.
Senior Romero to-dry, accompanied by the
Secretary of State, called upon the Presi

was received as Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary of the Juarsz or

Deposits made for the 5:2Os bonds on Mon

In the recent announcement of the quo
tas to the several States, under President
Liucoln's proclamation of October 18th call
ing out an additional 100000 men, the de-
iciencies of the States under former calls
and under the recent draft are taken ac
count of only in reference to subsequent
draft in case another is rendered necessary
by their failure to furnish the full quota of
volunteers. 1t is supposed there will be no
draft in those States which raised their quo
ia of the 100000 volunteers, but in those
States where, through failure to raise the
quota the draft has to be rssorted to, all
deficiencies at the last draft in such State
will be taken into account.
Drafted men and recruits are entitled
only to the 800 bounty provided by law,
md not to the increased bounty Of $500
offered to volunteer recruits.
