WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 2!. 18t'.2,
Tin: Nr.ws. The late dispatches front
thcKist iuroiui us that the Grand Army
of the Potomac has been divided Into two
divisions. Tho one under McOlellan, the
other under llurnside. The first commands
tJic right, the prcond the lelt. The main
forces we suppose, arc nt Hancock iind
Harper's Ferry.
Tho reliel Jackson is paid fo be nl Hun
her Hill, while the lurger portion of the
rebel army, under t,ce, is nt Winchester.
When tin.' Union nrmy does move, It is
thought that Hurnslde will attack in front,
virile MeClcllttn will try the flunking game.
The news of the 2.1th, that no more cloth
ing was to be issued to Hurn-irie's men.
than they could comfortably carry in u
forced inarch, has the ring of vigor in it.
The policy of masterly inactivity " is to
cense, nnd sharp, quick nml bloody work is
to begin. Hooker rejoined the nrmy on
the 27ili. The report that McOlellun had
been supplanted by Hooker is not con
firmed. McOlellun still enjoys the couli
dence of General I In I leek mid tin: Pre?!
dent ; although his extreme, caution seems
10 us more dangerous than a more vigorous
policy 5 yet, were we in full possession of
oil the forts, perhaps, wc might find more
to praise than to bliune. Wo nre not in
fuvor, however, of idolizing n Gcnenil nt
the expense of the nation. If he is proven
incompetent, let. him be removed. A Gen
eral ought to be compelled to demonstrate
his competency by his victories. This
standard may do injustice to meritorious
men, but it is the only nafe one for the na
tion. It is paid that General Hucll lias been
released from the command of thu Union
unny of Kentucky, mid that General Hose
krans succeeds him. If this Is so, we may
expect Phtirp work in that quniter. (Jen
erul iSehofield has won another brilliant
victory in northwestern Arkansas; cap

ber of horses, transportation trains and
garrison equipments. Sabine city nnd
the port commanding Subino pass; Peli

Galveston; nnd piobably Corpus Christi,

tured " by the Union fleet operating on
theeonst of Texas. Furragut ought to

work goes bravely on.

lion after the. 1st of January next, has been
well received by 'Ilia loynl Press of the
country. The radicals are overjoyed at the

however, that denounce the proclamation us

but it would bo very difficult to point out
u single act -of the Administration whloh
they bavo over approved. Tho mornl in
fltienco of such journals with the loyal
masses is but little, nnd ns tho warrp
preaches Us consummation will be still less.
Not a single General has thrown up his

The telegraph Informs us that It lias filled
(lie rebellious States with whnlcsoino ter
ror ; thut It has already created a resistance
to the ou!ou conscription law, mid pro
dticed a general desire on the part of (lit
soldiers to go home, to protect their famt
lies from mi apprehended negro insurrec
tion. It that (eirlhlo and Ten ml scoarge
hould come upon them, they would have
noliody to blame hut themselves. Let them
ny down their onus nnd submit to the
genial authority ol the General Govern
inent, and they need have no fears of the
hloody honors of a negro Insurrection.
We v.l.-h them no Mich md Tate, hut IT It
should come upon them while In u state ol'
rebellion, what could the Government do
fur their protection ? They hnve renounced
its authority, i-el nt defiance Its laws, nnd
are laboring for its dismemberment. 1
under these circumstances, their negroes
should revolt, who is to Maine?
It Is not to be disguised, that general
emancipation is nl (ended with ItsdiMeul
ties. There is not a problem connected with
the war but what is replete with dllllcultles.
Hut in every thing which lit done, the resto
ration of the Union iiim-t Ik1 kept In view.
Whatever tends to the accomplishment ol
this object Is plainly right. It may he at
tended with dilliculties, but that iitl'ccti not
its character. "The true question Is, whether
great dilliculties, even insurmountable ones,
do not beset nny other policy. Pressed
Inline as we are. to avoid obstacles Is im
possible. We can but select the least for
midable. The lives of the liest of us are
spent In choosing between two evils."
The proclamation will enlist In our be
hnlf the sympathies or Europe. It will for
ever prevent the intervention of Franco or
England. The war will now havoanii
plemental object, popular with the op
pressed all over the world.

Iho commencement of the rebellion, they
were distiuguhhed for their marked pro

They believed that the Southern politicians,
as well ns Iho great body of the Southern
people, were dovotedly attached to the Un
ion as our fathers miule it. Hence, when
ever Southern leaders were ehnrged with
entertaining ulteilor designs hostile to the
American Union, their Northern defenders
indignantly repelled tho charge. Hut (lie
tliuu lerol the hostile canon planted around
Fort Sumter was an argument they could
not answer. They saw (hut their confi
dence had been misplaced that they had
been duped nnd deceived. They hnd risked
their reputation, their honor, nnd their
hopes of political preferment, on tho lny
ally of tho South, nnd found, when too
late, that thoy hnd risked them on a foun
dation ' ns basi-less ns tho fabric of n

and general ncqunlntnnco with Southern
politicians gavo them aclenr conception of
the dnngrrs which environed, and which con
time to environ, the Union, and of the means
necessary to overthrow tho black conspir
acy. Hence, they lecaine the early and de
termined advocates of what was deemed

bloody evolutions of tho war have demon
