WmTEsmE STATION. Nashville and Chat
tanooga Railroad. Oct. 28.-A very gratifying
change has occurred in tbe situation here,
rendering it far pleasantcr to contemplate
than it has been. Yesterday morning per-
ton of Gen. Rockers forces, under the immc-
diate direction of the general himself, crossed
the Tennessee river at Bridgeport, and ad-
vanced toward Chattanooga. They reached
this point. sixteen miles from Bridgeport, last
night, meeting with slight resistance and no
loss on the way. To-day the troops advanced
four miles further into Lookout Valley, only
eight miles from Chattanooga, two brigades of
rebels and one battery retiring before our adj
vance, in the direction of Trenton, Ga, at the
upper end Of the valley, and the only route by
which they could Join Bragg's main force
At an early hour yesterday morning force
from Chattanooga, under Brig. Gen. Hazen,
crossed abe river at Browns Ferry, below the
city, and, throwing out a very heavy line of
skirmishers, began, the ascent of lookout
Mountain at what is known as the sPoint. :"
The enemy gave way with very slight OPPOSE
ton, and the mountain was soon in orr nos
session. No guns were found in position. as
expected, the rebels evidently not having any
intention to use the locality for offensive mr.
poses. They had tried 24.pounder rifles from
that point, without effect, and they probably
found it impossible to get heavier pieces into
position, even if they had them.
This movement completely OPENS commu-
nication both by river and rail, and is hailed
with much 10Y. Wagon trains and pack-mules
can now have a rest. The railroad will not
be in full operation for a couple of weeks yet'

MAssACnusErrs.-Th is a story of old
Stephen Girard, that messenger once rode
with some excitement to his country place, to
acquaint him that one of his ships had come
safely into port. The messenger found Gil
rard in the fields, raking hay he ran up,
breathless with haste and excitement, and to
Girard's anxious inquiry, "What's the matter
now?" shouted out the good news. The old
man quietly went on with his hay, saying,
SIS that all? why, man, Girard's ships always
come home" So the country might say of
Massachusetts,. That state has never been
called on in vain. In the field of war or in
the field of politics she has been alike con-
slant, true, and ready; so that when the coun-
try learns that yesterday she gave vote
larger than usual for the Union and against
copperheads and rebel sympathsers, it will be
apt to say, as old Stephen Girard did Of his
ships: SIS that all? that is what we expect
ed 1t is perhaps the highest praise COM
munity could haye.-New York. Egening

ALL HAIL, MARLBORO UGH 1T may be
doubted whether, in the history of elections,
such an instence of noble unanimity can be
found as that presented by the town of MARI
borough, in MiddleseX county, last Tuesday
In several other towns, all or nearly all the
balloting was one way, and that the right loyal
way, and honor is due to these ''little democ-
racies" for coming up with their entire voting
population to the support of the government
We refer particularly to Marlborough, be-
cause it is large town, and because on that
account the unity of public sentiment mani
tested therein is unprecedented. -Four han
dred and thirty votes-every one OF them for
John A. Andrew The bare statement of this
fact is enough. 1t shows how plain the issue
is to people who read and think for them
selves, and who are away from the corrup-
tons of great cities, and unbrbed by unprin-
cipled partisans. Given anywhere, through
out the laud, the same intelligence and the
same zeal for right, with corresponding ac-
tivity to bring every man to the polls, as APP
pear 10 have existed in Marlborough, and the
result would be the same, an unanimous ex-
preston of unconditional patriotism.-B Boston

GEN. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. WOODWARD
The fact that General Mcclellan wrote the
Woodward letter against his wishes and con-
victions does not i'll any degree mitigate his
peridy and folly; but it is the truth that it
was not voluntary offering. 1t is confident
ly asserted that various attempts were made
to commit him publicly to the copperhead
cause in Pennsylvania; but all except the last
one failed. He never made the hoped-tor
speech, wrote the coveted letter, nor played
companion to Woodward at the fair. In spite
of all the political strategy practiced on him,
he retired TO his quiet retreat in Jersey, I'M
spotted by an open avowal of apprehension.
But the prospects of Woodward becoming
more and more desperate from dty to day, a
renewed assault was made upon the general to
break down Ills reticence, and drag him
into the deadly embrace of his countrys
foes. A southern adyenturer named Sal.
ONION was chosen as chief undertaken,
and he delivered the body, according
10 the contract, in time for the funer-
al. He approached the general in the
name OF Judge Wood Eard--was specially au-
thorized by the judge to do so, End to assure
him that Woodward would undoubtedly be
elected by from 40, 900 to 10000 and that the
only way to make the overwhelming popular
verdict carry with it Gen. McClelan's posi-
1--WE Vlhuicatlon, ana insure his nomination
for the presidency, would be for the general
to espouSe Woodwards cause openly, and
thus make the triumph measurably his own.
Thus hunted, worried and huttered, he final
ly, at the very last hour, set his house in or
der, made his last political testament that any
body will ever care to read, and sank into the
embrace OF the foes of the gallant army he
once led, and of the country that exhausted
itself iii fruitless efforts to make him great.
THE PUBLIC DEBT.-The following is the
lates. statement made of the public debt. The
average rate of interest on the whole debt
(3.Sl per cent? is less than that paid by the
British or French governments, and shows
clearly the estimation in which our public Sc
curitles are held:

IMPORTANT CHANGE IN THE MANAGEMENT
OF FIFTEEN-INoH GUNs.-Notwthsta
the amount of time and labor expended to
enable artillerists to fire the lj-inch Dahlgren
gun inside the turret OF Il monitor without its
muzzle protruding through the port-hole, the
guns are henceforth to be run out as in
broadside ships of-war, and just as the 11-inch
gun is run out. Within the past few weeks
the l5-inch guns have been modified consd-
erably, and are now on their way to the differ
ent yards at which the ron-clads are building.
They are somewhat lighter than the former
class, and can be run in and out much more
easily. The new compressor apparatus for
working them has been made as perfect as
possible, and it is now believed that three men
can do as much firing as is necessary with the
gun.-Erening Post.

LAST Hours OF LrNDHURsT.-On Sunday,
some very interesting particulars OF the last
years of Lord Lyndhurst were given in
funeral sermon preached after morning SER
vice in st. Georges, in Hanover square, by
Rev. Henry Howarth, ID. D., the rector who
had for many years been on intimate terms
with his illustrious parishoner. The rever-
end gentleman took his text from Psalms
XC-ll :l2-'WhO c0nsidereth the power of
Thy WRATH" &c. After mastery analysis
Of this funeral psalm, which appropriately
enough happened to be one of the psalms
for the day, Mr.. Howarth proceeded to
speak of the late peer. Public life had its
grievous temptations. The time of states
men was absorbed in the weightiest of hui
man affairs. No doubt the work was great,
and they who did it worthily were public
benefactors; but it disposed them to take
too little thought of religion. Many pub
life has been saddened' at its close by this
reflection, and he well knew that nothing
so called forth Lord Lyndhursts perpetual
gratitude to God as that He had enabled him
by extending his life far beyond the al
lotted time - to ''redeem the time" And
nobly did he redeem the time. His mind
was fully occupied with the importance of
religion. He was incessant in the earnest
preparations which he made for death. lie
applied all the power of his marvellous in
tellect and all his apprehensive quickness to
the study of religion. Great as he was, he
bowed before the greatness of the Supreme
Being. Through religion his natural kind
illness and loving disposition were refined
into the highest Christian graces, which were
profusely shown in his relations with all who
came IN contact with him - wife, daughter,
servants, everybody. His last articuate
words were Happy, happy, happy" and
happy he was indeed. Those who ministered
to him knew his true humility, his hearty
repentance, hiss serene and earnest hope.
He died in peace and charity with all man.

Fort Pemberton is situated on the TalIahatchie
River-ahOut three miles from its intersection
with the YalObusha to form the Yazoo. 1t is so
situated that il commands the Tallahatchie River

mands the Yazoo in an approach from below. il
is now entirely surrounded bv water.
To day. the Rebels have been firing at half

There is unfordable water between the enemy's

boats will return to the Mississippi River. or be

Gen. Mcclellan says in his testimony before the

just commenced his campaign against Gen. Lee.
He could not fight him tll he had caught UP with
him. and, while he was following him, Gen. Lee
would have something else to occupy his atten.
ton besides plots against Washington. But Hal
