Army of the Potomac. Reports-from the East seem to indicate an early advance, if not already made. of the army of the Potomac.— The route of tho army, the Cincinnati Gazette's correspondent thinks, will not be np tho Shenandoah Vallc}'.— With reference to this reported movement, the New York Times of Saturday last says: "We have once more promises of a speedy advance of our army, and this time, it may be, with more likelihood of truth than on some provious occasions. Our Slnirpsburg correspondent telegraphed us, at a late hour last night, that indications of a movement were apparent, and that orders had been issued to the various commands to prepare for an advance yesterday morning. It is added that the advance will probably be simultaneous along the whole line. We have other indications of the same kind from other sources."

This force is organised in two grand divisions, under the command respectively of Generals McClelland and Burnside, and is said to be the largest army ever before assembled on the continent of Amcrica. The people every where a»e anxiously looking for the

Organization of She Army. There have been material changes in the organization of the arm}' since the battle of Antetam. The several corps are now commanded as follows:

Second (Sumner's)—Major General T. N. Couch. Ninth (Burnside's)—Brig. General Wilcox.

Twelfth (Rank's)—Major General Slocum. These corps, embracing fully half tho army, are all under the general command of Burnside. The remainder, directly under McClolIan, are commanded thus:

First (Hooker's)—Major General Reynolds. Fifth—Major General Fitz John Porter.

Sixth—Maj. General Wm, B. Franklin. The army has been greatly strengthened since the battle of Antetam, by .the addition of new regiments.

JE3£"The furlough of five Indiana regiments captured at Munfordsville, Kentucky, having expired, most of them have returned to Indianapolis and gono into camp for re-organization. It is- expected that they will be exchanged immediately.

THE SNOW STOR.M.— Saturday last, .brought with it the heaviest fall of snow ever sent on this section of country at this season of the year. At least, it is so thought, by our oldest "citizens. The snow continued to fall till near noon, at which time it measured near eight inches in depth upon a dead level. It

Sliinplasters Illegal.

As the issue of Shinplastera in Crawfordsvillo and elsewhere is becoming somewhat more of a nuisance, than a convenience as a matter of change, we publish below a Section of law on the subject, which reads as follows:,

SEC. 2. And bo it further enacted, That from and after the first day of August, 18G2, no private corporation, banking association, firm or individual, shall make, issue, circulate or pay, any note, check, memorandum, token or other obligation for a less sum than one dollar iutended to circulate as money, or to be received, or used in lieu of lawful money of tho United States and every person so offending shall, on conviction thereof in any district or circuit court of the "United States, be punished by fine not exceeding $500, or by imprisonment not exceeding 0 months, or by both, at the option of the court.

Approved July 17, 1862.

One or the Other.

The State Journal asks "will some -ood naturcd Democrat be kind enough to tell us where the big majorities came from in some of their counties?— They have insisted all tho time that their men were filling the ranks of tho army, while the cowardly "Abolitionists'' stayed at home, and yet when the election comes on the Union men don't appear to be at home at all, while the Democrats are as thick as frogs after a rain. Where did they come from? If they went into tho army how did they get home? If they did not go into the army who filled up the ranks? There is a sad revelation for you Butternuts in those big votes, with all the victory they bring. Thoy prove either that you carried the election by fraud, or that you lied when you boasted that your party filled the ranks of tho r.rmy. One or tho other, these votes prove. Take your choice. Either your men arc not in tho ranks, or you won the election by fraud. It is not much matter to us which crime you choose to assume, but one or the other will stick to you. and you can't rub it of."

A Contest.

We are informed that Hon. Wm. Mitchell, the present member of Congress from the 10th District from this State, Avill contest the election of Joseph K. Edgerton, the Breckinridge candidate who pretends to have received a majority in the recent election.— There is abundant ground forrejecting Edgerton. The frauds in Allen county alone will cover twice the majority which he is alledged td have received, and anything like a fair investigation will give him a chance to cool his heels at home for the next two years. Nothingimoro barefaced and outrageous has ever been perpetrated in the way of election frauds since Candle-box Calhoun copied the Cincinnati Directory into the poll list at Oxford, Kansas.— State Journal.

The Clay County Democrat eulo

gizes Bayless W. Hanna—lately elected to the Legislature from Vigo county—rn the following style: "He is one of the few young men in the State who is destined to write for himself a history—young, eloquent, energetic and fearless." The precise period of time when Bayless is to commence writing the aforesaid history is not designated. We presume his search for Jno. Brown's body at Charlestown, Va., & his interview with Gen. Talliferro will be introduced as a chapter by itself.—State Journal.

A few days since a letter was

received in Erie, Pa., from some person unknown, in Paris, France, containing §1,000, with the direction:— '•To be used in supporting the families of volunteers." The money is accordingly to be distributed by a committee of ladies, for the object mentioned.

Kew Goods.

New goods aro now being received at the Dry-Goods establishments of Campbell, Galey & Harter at James Graham's at S. Moore & Co's. at Allen & Brother's and at II. Pottenger's. McClure, of tho firm of McClure & Fry, and W. N. Wasson, (of the new brick,) are now in the East for tho purchase of new stocks. E. J. Binford, of the old Binford Corner, goes in a few days. He will be in receipt of a portion of his stock on the first of the coming

©ff for the East.

Bill Bowers, of the Banner Store, starts for the East to-day, for the purpose of buying the largest and most complete stock of fall and winter staple and fancy Dry-Goods, he has ever offered to the people of this county.— Look out for the Banner—a portion of his stock will be forthcoming immediately on his arrival in New York.

Helsey Brothers.

Our young friends Israel Kelsey & Bro., Grocers, west side Ch'een street, opposite Commercial Bow,'are now in receipt of a largo and superior stock of all kinds of family Groceries, Queensware, Stono-ware, ^svood and willow ware, &c., &c. Call and see them farmers, they keep a stock sufficient to meet your every demand, and sell at figures as reasonable as any house in the Wabash Valley .in fact, their sales justify them in so doing as they both buy and sell largely. Produce of all kinds taken at cash rates in exchange for Groceries. ,.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20th, 1862.

Benjamin Field Secretary, York. GENTLEMEN:—Your invitation to address the citizens of the State of New York, in support of the national administration and tho vigorous prosecution of the war, is received.-

I am obliged to decline3 your invitation, but at the same time I can give you no stronger assurance of my most earnest cooperation in the vigorous prosecution of the war than my present relations to the army of tho United States.

As a man, a citizen and a soldier, I fell a deep interest in such a prosecution of the war, as will result in its speedy and honorable termination. To this end I have tried my utmost, aud 1 can testify to the earnestness of the brave soldiers who have served under mo. The people have furnished the men, and moans, the soldiers have done thoir part, and if there is any blame that the war is not ended, lay it not to the soldiers.

New York is a central power in the nation, controlling to a large extent the tendencies of every other State. Hence the responsibilities of her people are fearfully great, and one error may involve the nation in ruin.

In your approaching election had I the privilege, I would appeal to the people of your State as I would to my soldiers in tho face of tho enemy, and beg them by every consideration that could move the heart of a patriot, to do their duty without regard to selfish consideration.

It is an enormous crime to expose our devoted soldiers to the fury of a united, determined and vigorous enemy, on account of any hesitancy to use the right means at tho right time, or by placing men in high and responsible positions, who on account of their former associations and pledges, can

never be trusted as sincere friends to

Peace cannot exist while two antagonistic principles govern in tho land. Therefore every republican patriot should stand to the colors which honor and

him, and should vote

for those candidates only who are tried like Wadsworth—who arc most earnestly devoted to the vigorous prosecution of'the war, and arc in favor of such means as will perminantly introduce liberty into the South. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, E- SIGEL.

Maj. Gen. U. S. V.

Mr*). General Seott.

Day before yesterday the remains of a noble lady were consigned to the tomb, in St. Thomas' Church, at New York. Whether wo regard her illustrious consort or herself, this burial is at once touching and picturesque, and is of general interest:

Highly cultivated, ofready wit,a love of art in all its rarer forms, Mrs. Scott has spent many years abroad, while tho General was engaged in the service of his country, was amible, generous and charitable, and numerous friends in all parts of the country now mourn her loss. During her residence in America she was often and long at West Point,&knew almostall the officers under her husban's command, from the poriod of their initiation into military life. Her kindness to cadets was proverbial and their loyalty and gratitude to her only deepened into a firmer respcct and csteecm when they advanced from their novitiate,to know her admirable character in its. wider social relations.

General Scott, old, war-worne, and resting from his lifetime of brilliant service, as he nears the close of his illustrious life, stood at the grave of his noble companion, a picture for the imagination. He saw there tho great conqueror, whose dart he would have averted gladly, even toward his own breast.

God grant him still a lingering, cool, grateful, twilight, a period of gradual descent, of happy preparation creasing hope.—Phil. Inquirer. ••HI

Tlie Government Not in Want of Gold. A Washington letter says that Mr Secretary Chase has avoided the necessity of buying or borrowing gold for the payment of the October interest on the public debt. By a system of deposits which he has recently inaugurated, the Government receives gold on deposit, to be withdrawn at the pleasure of the owner, and pays interest, whero it remains longer than thirty days, at the

of four per cent, per annum. Thus far tho plan seems entirely successful —the deposits having been sufficient for all Government necessities for the use of gold. It is believed that the Government will thus be able to keep itself supplied with Efficient gold for its needs till the redemption of its old is-sue-of Treasury notes shall put it in possession of specie funds from the receipts of duties.—Intelligencer.

Wk-The Louisville. Journal sa}'s: "Among the rebel sypathizers in the

Blue

Grass region, who left their homes and followed the rebel army in its retreat South, was the Hon. James B. Clay, who it is said recruited a regiment for the rebel service. It will be remembered that Mr. Clay, who was charged with aiding tho rebellion, was placed under bond in the United States Court recently, the amount of which bond he haathus forfeited."

From tlse Upper Potomac. NEW YORK, Oct. 28. The Harpers Ferry correspondent of the Philadelphia press, under date of the 27th say?:

The news received hepo today, from General Pleasanton's

advance

From Thursday of last week till Monday of this week he was so closlely pressed by Crittenden that he was compelled to desti-oy most of the stores he had remaining.

Besides this our army recaptured most of the cattle and other stock he had stolen and was attempinc to drive out of the State. Bragg's discomfiture was complete—his retreat was one of the most cowardly and disastrous of the war.—X. A. Ledger.

Fighting Generals.

There is all but a universal popular complaint of a lack of energy and v-e-hemence of action among our military commanders. We really think, that, whenever an officer of undoubted energy can be found, he should be placed where that valuable quality can be made most available to the country. Now there is Major General Lew Wallace, one of the most skillful, brave and dashing officers in the U. S. service, a General of the true order of fighters, but he, instead of being where hot work is to be done is stationed in the Camp of Instruction at Columbus, O., whero ho has charge of paroled prisoners. And there is Brig. Gen. John A. Logan, who acted'for a time as MajorGeneral, and received a wound at Fort Donaldson, ono of the fiercets and chivalric warriors in all our land, but he is kept at or near Jackson, Tenn., where, perhaps, he has the superintendence of railroads or something of the sort. And where is Major General Wm. T. Sherman, the glorious hero, tho noble and brilliant leader, who, if it had been possible, would have retrieved the fortunes of the day at Bull Run, and who, on the historic field of Shiloh, was the thunderbolt of the battle? Oh, he is at

Memphis, absorbed in tho annoying little details of civil government of that citv!

Fighters are not needed for railroads and camps of instruction and municipal government. Professors from military schools and Mayors and CounciIs would no doubt do quite as well. Let warriors be sent to the battles. Louisville Journal.

Tho Cincinnati Enquirer recommends that tho Indiana Legislature return Jesse D. Bright to the Senate for the balance of his unexpired term, as a rebuke to the abolition Senate for his expulsion. We dissent from this most emphatically, and insist that our Democratic Legislature shall not be
