REBEL SOLDIERS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
rnE PRocLAxArroN.--The New York Herald
has special dispatch from Culpeppsr Court
House, dated the 18th, which says:
Deserters from the rebsl lines state that
large numbers Of soldiers will take advantage
OF tho amnesty offered in the Presidents
Proclamation, a. soon as they can become
acquainted with its provisions. Great many
soldiers would have come over to US in large
bodies long since. if they could have been
satisfied that they would not at once have
been impressed into the Union service. They
have been assured by their officers that it
would be the fate Of every dsscrter. There
is no doubt but that large majority Of the
North Carolina and border State troops, are
heartily sick Of the war, and DESTROYS Of re-
turning to their allegiance.

A correspond.nt of the Sieeze R.ri.. In

A correspondent Of the Steele Paris, the
government organ Of France, writes from
Tunis, Alsiers, az follows:
sour College Of philosophers at home,
may, and probably do accomplish great
deal for the cause Of science, but the Ameri-
cans are the people to turn these discoveries
to practical account Many of the modern
inventions in use here are American, and one
American chemist, DR.. j. @. Aver, Of Low
ell, supplies much Of the medicine consumed
in this country. His Cherry Pecioral Pills,
Sarsaparilla and Ague Cure constitute the
staple remedies here, because they are Of
easy application, sure in their results, and
have the confidence Of the people. While
the science OF Medicine is carried to higher
perfection in our own country (France) than
any other. it strikes Frenchman as little
singular that an American physician should
furnish tho medical skill and remedies for
our principal Province.
We are happy to inform our readers that
these superior medicines which the Emperor
principal Province is obliged to get from
/. America may be had by our neighbcrs At

DARINs Acr OF PIRAcY.-New York has
net been unknown as the depot and rendez-
Sous OF rebel spies and enissaries Of every
description. They have carried on their
work there of aiding Rebellion openly and
without hindranee. The last disclosure, the
capture Of the steamer Chesapeake At sea by
. rebel band Of seventeen who took passage
in her from New York for Portland, will per.
haps open the eyes Of the proper authorities
and be Sufficient to awaken them to proper
action in breaking up this band of traitors.
These pirates captured the Chesapeake about
thirty miles off Cape Cod, after killing the
second engineer, wounding the chief engin-
Ger and First Mate, and putting the Captain
in irons. The passengers and crew were
then notified that they were prisoners of war
to the Southern Couf.dsracy, but were sub
sequently transferred to boat and sent to
Portland, Me-, with the exception of tho first
engineer. The steamer then proceeded on
her way and when last heard from was fairly
to sea. She was valued with her cargo at
$4,000. A number of vessels have been
fitted out for pursuit, and it is thought she
will be captured. We trust tho lesson viii

ABOLITIONIsTa.

By tie primary action Of the instigator,
Of the rebellion, the question was forced up
on the people of-The Union without Sla.
very, or Slavery without the Unionl The
Federal Government sought to svads this
question at first and restore its authority on
the old basis. But after much delay and
hesitation, this was found iupracticable, and
the issue made by the rebels at the start was
accepted, and the work Of subduing the re-
bsllion and preserving the Union began in
earnest. There was no avoiding the ISSUE.
As Senator Wilson Of Massachusetts, says
Slavery is the Rebellion, which is nothing
more than Alexander H. Stephens said in the
start whom he announced that the corner
stone Of the Southern Confedsracy was Sla-
very. Therefore it must be plain that Who
ever fights for the Union and against REBEL
ion, fights against Slavery and for universal
freedom. That Slavery is the rebellion the
popular mind is now beginning to thor.
oughly understand and accept. Therefore
are not all who cherish the Union more than

wonderfully successful educator, and has
opened wide the eyes Of the people upon the
cause OF oil our National difficulties: and
now, that in the providence Of God, the &C.
casion is forced upon US, the American peo.
pie are only too glad to put their heel on the
aecursed Institution Of American Slavery.
The cpithet Of "Abolitionist," therefore, is
robbed Of it's oeloQuy and odium. 10 BE-

Therefore it is that we are willing to 90 upon

the following dispatch:

PRISONERS.
The Baltimore american of tho 18th has
the following dispatch:
To Mr.. Fulton, Baltimore american:
Please give notice that the rebel authorities
decline receiving any more packages or pro-
visions for the Union prisoners, SO that par.
ties interested may refrain from forwarding
any more goods to this point.
Signed. B.r BUTLER, MAJ. Gen.
The only excuse for this bsrbarously cruel
decision Of the rebel authorities is that "an
imputation had been thrown on their honor
by the press and government auth critics that
they we're not delivering the goods forward
ed, in good faith, to the prisoners" etc.
II is very evident that it is the determine.
ton to starve our Professionalism them
unless our Government accepts their terms
OF exchange. by which we turn them over
forty thousand prisoners in return Cor thir.
teen thousand, and allow them still to hold
our colorsd prisoners and their officers, whom
they DO not propose to exchange on any
terms. This is truly horrid state Of affairs
and there is no sxecratioa Of rebel authsri-
ties that human pen or lip can give that
would approximate justice. 1t is hoped BY
some action of our Government they will
sooa be forced to be at least half human and
decent.

Affairs i'm Virginia

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Maj. Gen. Meade,
after brief visit to Washington, returned to
his headquarters to-day. Cavalry reconnois-
sances are continued on our part as far as the
Rappahannock. The Orange and Alexandria
railroad have already been repaired one mile
beyond BriStow station. Forces are en-
gagged day and night in repairing the damages
Of the enemy.
Reports from. the army say the discipline
and morale of the army were never better
than at the present time, and both officers and
men have the greatest confidence in the ability
of Gen. Meade. The signal corps has earned
additional honors burning the late campaign.
Among other valuable services it first discov-
cred the movements of the enemy from the
Rapidan to Madison Court House, and thence
vic Sperryville to Warrenton, thus enabling
Gen. Meade to take such measures as result
ed i'll defeating Lees plans.
The condition of the residents of Fauquier
and Prince Williams Counties is represented
as painful. They are bordering on starvation.
1t is estimated that fifteen hundred men will
cover all our losses in the late campaign, in

The President OH Affairs in Missouri
and Kansas.


ST. LOUIS, Oct. 23.-President Lincolns
reply to the Missouri deputation, and his letter
of instructions to Gen. Schotield, together
with an address by Mr.. Drake in answer to
the presidents reply, appear in the Democrat
this morning. The main points of the presi-
dents reply are as follows:
He fails to see that the condition of MiSsou-
RI and the wrongs and sufferings OF the Union
men are attributable to imbeciity in Gen.
Schofeld, but rather to the civil war. He
does not believe that the massacre at Law
renee proves imbecility on the part OF Gen.
Schoheld, as similar acts could have been
committed by Col. Grierson or John Morgan,
had they chosen to command them. He ap-
proves Gen. Schoield's action to prevent a
counter raid INTO Missouri by citizens of
kansas, as the only safe way to avoid indis-
crlmlnate massacre.
He says the charge that Gen. Schofield has
purpOsely withheld protection from loyal
people and facilitated the objects of disloyaty
is altogether beyond the power of his belief.
With his present views he declines to remove
Gen. Schofield.
Regarding the enrolment of the militia, he
says he shall ascertain better than he now
knows what its exact value is. In the mean
time he declines to abandon it, and expresses
gratitude to Gen. Schofield for ordering it in
June last, thereby enabling him to strengthen
Gen. Grant ut rle time reintorcements were
imperatively needed.
