The daily Green Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1861-1865, 1863-09-30

New YORK, Sept. 80. The Worlds New
Orleans letter of the 22d says the advance to
Texas is still an onward movement, and as yet
nothing more. For more than fortnight
Brashear city has been the base of concentration
for the new movements. Men and supplies
have been forwarded By railway, while advance
stores and ammunition in large amounts have
been sent via the Gulf to Berwick Bay. These
ordnance transports have been used to carry
across the troops from Brashear to Berwick
The latest returns tell US that last Saturday
nearly the whole of the 18th corps, under Gen.
Weltzel, crossed and camped on the other side
leaving sufficient force to hold the base at
Brashear city. 1t is presumed that an effort
will be made not only to accomplish the advance
successfully, bat to hold the LafOurche, while
the new movement is in progress When Gen.
Weltzel's men began to cross the Bay, Frank
lin s men commenced their movement up the
Teche. Those who came back from Brashear
Sunday evening, say that the line of retreat
along the bayou was marked by blazing fires.
These wee not camp fires. They were barns
and buildings, cabins and farm houses-a des-
truct)n, as was toretold, of everything likely
to give aid and comfort to the invading army.
Up to this hour we have not heard of the ad
vance OF Franklin's army from the west bank
of Berwick Bay. We only know that the large
part of the column was safely across and walt
ing for the rest, when the march would begin
in the track OF the retre&ting confederates.-
There are those who believe that Frankllns
army will leave the Teche at the town of Frank
lin, and strike across the State 20 the Sabine
river. This suppOses che Of two things, an en-
gagement with an anhilaton of the rebel force
at Camp ashland, or in the event of their not
standing at that point, allowing The conieder
ates to retreat to New Iberia, a long way above
Franklin. 1t is not presumable that 50 good 4
General as franklin will have an enemy 10 900
or $4,000 strong in his rear to cut Oft his lrains,
to re-capture Basher City, and re-occupy La
tourche. The rebel force on the Teche must be
destroyed or dispersed before the movement in
Texas can be made with any perfect success.
The Times New Orleans letter says that on
Saturday night last a steamer arrived It Match
ez with $50 bales of cotton on board. Some
1900 more are to follow in few days.
The is guerrilla force operating in Missis-
sppi under COL Logan, of some 1900 men,
Their only ain seems to be to burn and destroy
what little is left on the plantations that have
been 80 often robbed by the rebel Government
at Richmond. A few days since Logan and
some OF DIS men maue d uaeh uPoh WV 'ioi"i'J
of Natchez, and burned some 500 bales OF cot
ton not five miles from the river bluff. This
cotton belonged to several planters who were
keeping it until they could with safety bring 1t
within the National line, and sell it for their
own and their criditers benefit.
LEAvRswoRrH, Sept. 20. Gov. Gamble hav-
ing authorized Col. Moss of Liberty to arm men
lin Platte and Clinton Counties, ne has armed
most of the returned rebel soldiers and men un'
der bonds, and his men are now driving the I'm
ion men out of the State. Over 100 families
crossed the river to-day. Many Of the wives Of
