The precise posltion OF the Amy OF the
Potomac is not announced, although there is
an uncredited statement that the troops are
at Fredericksburg. There Is reason to be-
lieve that the army has taken a position
rom which it will soJn remove, with the
hope of being able to hola Fredericksburg
and Culpepper. Conflicting reports -have
been published, but they appear to have en-
anated from the most usfounded conjecture.
There is probability that there will soon
be general engagement, and he who OBJ
tsins the best ground will be almost certain
to have the result OF the contest in his favor.
General Sedgwick reports That he captu
red from the enemy on Saturday, Nov. 4
four cannon, eight battle flags, and fifteen
hundred prisoners. The other prisoners ia
ken on that day by General French, com
mandihg the Filth Corps swels the rumher
of prisoners to eighteen hundred and thirty
six. The prisoners have arrived in Wash>
ington, and there is some difficulty in tind>
ing places in which TO confine them. Among
the CAPTURED is the celebrated Louisiana Bri :
gade, under the command Of Byigadier Gen
eral Hayes, IIiue men state that they were
taken completely BY surprise. They had
ncen sent from General Early's division Of
General Ewell'g corps, to guard the ford,
aud their skirmishers had only been thrown
out an hour whom General Sedgwick's men
came down upon them on the run, General
Sedgwick had sent brigade 10 prevent their
escape by the river and there was no alter
native except to surrender. Thry had had !,
they say, no bread or meat since Friday
morning. General Hayes escaped by swim-
ming across the Rappahapnock river, having
dlvested himself Of his coat, hat and sword,
new in the hands OF the Federal soldiers.
Generals Dufie and Averil, after several
engagements succeeded, on Friday and Sat
urdsy, in driving the enemy, under General
Jackson, down the vally east OF the Greens
brier Mountains into and through the town
of Lewisbtsg Western Virginia, gathering
his abandoned supplies, guns and coors -
Ater the first battle on Friday, under Gen,
DuiIie, the enemy was re in'osced, but was
wholly routed on Saturday by the Federal
forces under Generals Duf!ie and AveriIl.-
TIE fighting is said to have been very bril-,
liant The enemy left his killed and woun
ded on the field. The Fodoial losses are
not reported. ..,

Charges Against
6CGeE,S;sey Soy V;iTcs.

SCCe&SHFy "a NaFG.
The Eastern papers Charge upon
Mr.. Seward (NIr. Lincolns Secretary
Of State) that he furnished the French
Minister at Washington with copies of
the maps, charts, &C., en- file in Lis
ofice, taken by Genclal Scott during
his march from Vera Cluz to the City
of Mexico, for the purpose Of facilto-
ting the progress Of the French army
in its present invasion.
IF this charge is true, and coming
from the quarter it does, ,'wc have no
reason to disbelicvc it, it places not
only MIR. Seward, but the Administra-
tion of MIR. Lincoln in a light before
their countrymen and the whole world
utterly disgraceful and reasonable to
the American people. AS an excuse
for permitting the French to establish
monarchy on cur borders and in the
face Of the established policy Of cur
Government in the Monroe doctrine,
the Lincoln Government plead the Ne
cEssITY Of the perilous condition of
the country owing to the "civil war;"
if such it can be called, raging in our
midst. But this charge Of assisting
the French by "aid and comfort"
shows q partnership concern which
but for the condition Of our political
affairs would bring every Cabinet Off
Ger before the representatives of the
people in Congress for trial.
We allare aware that it was charged
by Wilkes Spirit and other official Or
gans Of the Republican party, last
summer, that MIR. Seward had granted
to the French government tlic privi>
legc Of purchasing in the city Of New
York the necessary means Of transpor-
ting the French army through Mexi-
co, while the Mexican authorities were
prhobited from purchasing similar ar
ticlcs for their use in selfdefense.
But this last information leaves no es-
cape from charges of direct completely
with the French government in occu.
pying Mexico and establishing mon.
archy there, detrimental not only to
liberty in Mexico but utterly subver-
siyc Of free government on this co1ti-
nent, fpermitted to be once fairly and
securely established. a
But few days ago the telegraph
from Washington notified the world,
that Mr.. Lincoln had decided to not
notice the French occupation of Mex
leo untilafter the Southern rebellion
was put down. This amounts TO con-
firmation Of the charges Of completely,
for If not noticed until that very inde-
finite hour, it amountstoneycr noticing

The yvashcrwemaf conspiracy.

Tic Wa asheTweman Conspiracy;
The great conspiracy Of the Gin
cinnati washerwcman seems TO be rap
idly approaching a climax. People
cannot sleep any more without fears of
being wakened by the frightful yell
of escaped rebel prisoners. 1t Is even
rumored that "Father Abraham" viii
recall the Potomac army to keep Wash
ington "safe" from the legions led to
battle by this dashing Amazon. Co,
lumbus had no sooner quieted down
than an account comes from the Lake
shore that the terrible washerwoman
had escaped from the Cincinnati offs
cials, and was bearing down upon the
cities on the Lake shore with an i'm
mense fleet of ''gunbsats, for the de-
structiou Of those cities and the re-
lease of rebel prisoners on Jonhson's
Island. The special correspondent of
the Cleveland Plain Dealer gives a
graphic account of the "great battle"
fought, for which the Government has
been sending troops so plentifully to
Johnson's Island. The following cx-
tract will do:
herewith send you, in brief, an
account of the late operations in this
vicinity of a Canadian gunboat, fully
armed, manned and equipped, which
was sent over here to liberate the rebel
prisoners on Johnson's Island, and
also to capture that and other islands
contiguous to that place. The craft
Selected Put-in-Bay Island as the first
point Of attack, but a ruse adopted by
the inhabitants thereof frighted them
away. The "use was this; AS soon as
the Islanders saw the gunboat and d.
yined it's character they Immediately
lengtheucd out their forces as much
as possible, and then commenced to
march and countertmarch between one
point Of the Island and the other, thus
making the enemy think they consti-
tuted tremendous force. The prin-
cipal source from which the Islanders
drew their ammunition were Louis
Harms vineyard and V. Doler's (25(
store. A few rounds of GRAPE were
fired at the retreating enemy with
great cfott. I
The gunLoat then pADDLrD away
for Kclly's Island; but here, also, it
was confronted by stern hand CT pa
tliots, who had planted battery Of
forty-rod whjskey upon the deck, the
Put-in-tay folks having opprisel them
of their danger. As soon, therefore,
as the hostile craft came within forty
rods Of the island, she received such
a terrible scorching fire as compelled
her forum howling away. BY the way,
those forty rod wbiskcy batteries are
unexcellod for deadly execution by
any that this war has called into exis-
tence. Greek fire and "Swamy an
gels" cannot compare with them. The
only trouble is that in practicing with
these batteries, the gunners after lin
tering up cannot uN-linler. In faet,

A movsment is said to be on foot in some
parts Of Illinois to ergoniza an Independent
Methodist Episcopal Church. However
much to be regretted such movement is
not surprising, in view Of tho act ihat SO
many Of the ministers OF that es we'll as those
Of falmost every Protestant denomination, ac>
ted so strangely in the late political contest
We noticed in one OF our exchanges, some
time ago. perhaps in the st. Louis Repubh-
can, that at the late sitting Of the Illinois
Conference, one Of the preachers was public
ly roprimandcd by the Bishop on the floor OF
the Conference, and by its order, for saying
that il be wore a citizen Of Ohio (this was
previous to our eIection) he would vote for
Mr.. Valland igham! That being 50, it isDot
surprising that a portion Of the membership
should think it about time to make q move
in some direction. ~ -
In. our own (the 0hio) Con erence, the
Resolutions on the State OF the Country call
cd BY the Abolition Disuuion press, the
"Patrio.ic Resolutions, s",-wore ridiculous
and offensive, and in conjunction with the
conduct OF Granville Moody and other polt>
ical preachersgwho followed in his wake have
done world Of harm.
Ministers Of the Gospel hHvo The same
right to exercise the elective franchise al
other citizens, and it is tho desire to do this
according to their own visws and opinions OF
measures and men. Here it were we'll they
should stop; and the Methodist Ministers IN
| general as we'll as the MinisCerg Of other
Protestant Churches, would not find it un.
profitable to study the address olthe ,Bish-
ops Of the NJ. E. Church, to the General
Conference of 1910, on the worry question
which now appears to run headlong into the
political arena, where their garments are
