General Carringtoii, of the Home Brigade, when he made his daring raid on the law office ol Mr Voorhees. This Titus Date in epaulettes, hal he lived in the days ef .fames II., could have surpassed that sensauou m onger himself, und, I bare not the slighest doubt, would have been ae thoroughly and deservedly whipped from A Ideate to old bailey, while his bellow ings as the scourge was well laid on, would have been louder and more fearful to hear than tho-e of the wretch whoe example he so closely imi tales Tbie. Iben, is the statement of tue en I ire transaction; and ret upon such a tlimcy basis as this you did not hesitate to insinuate in your editorial eolumns that 1 was engaged in an incur rectiouary plot to overturn the Government There seems to be an alarming proclivity in the war journals to indulge in this kind ot abuse e Tbc character and good uame of a citizen are uever allowed to stand in the way of the insertion of a sensation paragraph, provided that eitizeo does not harmonize in bis political view.with the present Administration. Now, jerm.t me to call yoar attention to the extreme ab surdity of such a charge, based upon the evi dence you presented to support it. The most ordinary aagscity, not distorted by the mad fanaticism of the hour, would have detected it. The very arms that were to be furnished to the insurrectionary spirits of Indiana, were stated in Mr. Carr s letter enclosed to M . Voorhees "to ha in hand,'' iu the SSM ody of the officer of trie Federal Government. Truly this would have teen a most formidable conspiracy to incite civil insurrection aaiust the Government that referred a co-conspirator to the Federal authorities themselves to furnish the means lor its overthrow It would have Isea about as shrewd nn if (iuy Kawkc bad -ent GatSB by to the keeper of t!

The fact is, the uneasiness and restlessness that seems to be felt by the Ad miuieiraiioQ sod its supporters to regard to plots, aud conspiracies seems to iudicata a conscious; neee of that guilt which aforetime has provoked the just anger of an outraged aud insulted people Does despotism interpret the hand writing on the wall, and hear the footsteps of the aveoger?

Pope, Gen McOlBXUUi was left at Alexandria, under orders of the War Department, with control over nothing but such officers of his staff as remained with him and a few men in camp. On stating this fact to Hallki k, who had sev eral times insolently snubbed him, in response to a communication, the latter telegraphed: Washington, August 31, .Maj. Gen. Geo. B M'Clellan : I have uol seen the order as published, but will write you in the morning. You will retain the command of everything in this vicin ity not temporarily with Pope's army iu tbe field I beg of you to assist me in this crisis with your ability and experience I am entirely tired out H. W Halleck, t ieneral in-Chief A SPEECH FROM LINCOLN. In August, If'J. President Lincoln made a speech to a crowd of e tilers at the White house in which lie alluded to the disputes growing out of the I'tti.tisular campaign We quote his words relating to McClellan: There has been a wide fpread attempt to have a wir between General McClellan and tbe Sec retarv of War. Geueral McClellau's at titude is such that in tbe very selfishness of hi nature he cannot bot wih to be successful, and 1 hope he will I believe he i a brave and able man. and I stand here, as justice re juires nie to do, to take upon myself what has been charged on the Secretary of War as with holding from him. ril AN BS OF PBESI PENT LINCOLN AFTEB SMI TH mm whim Pope having been defeated and routed, McCl ILLan, from dire necessity, was appealed to to gather the fragmeuts of the half destroyed army and -are the Capital and the North from the onward nnd victorious march of tbe rebel army under Lee He did so, and, upon achieving the rietewj .f" South Mountain, received the following: Will l)EPABTMENT.i WasuingtoV.

The Issue .vlate up. The aqSjaej qaeatitoi placed at i-.-uc in the Presnlential election have been leduced by the competing platforms to distinct terms. An honest digest of tbe resolutions adopted at tbe Baltimore Convention and of those adopted at the Chicago Convention, will abow tbe?e to be few and well defined. " Ke.-olved," .-1 - tbe Black Republican plat fors! "That we approve the determination of tbe Government of the Uuite 1 States aef tu compromine with rebels, nor to offer any terms of peace except such as may be based upon an uu conditional surrender of their hostility und a retain to tbeir j u-t allegiance to the Constitution and hiws ot the United State--, und that we call upon the Government to maintain this position and to proeeute the tear with the utmost possible vigor to the complete suppression of the rebellion," etc. This shows Mr Lincolh to stand before the country as- the candidate of subjugation and war The Chicago platform 'Resolved, That this convention does explicitly declare as, the sense of the American people that, after four years of failure lo restore the Union by the experiment of war. etc .justice, humanity, liberty, and the public welfare demand that immediate efforts be made for a cessation cf hostilities, with a view to an ultimate convention of all the States, or other peaceable means, to tbe end that at tbe earliest practicable moment peace may be restored," etc. This plank shows (ieneral McClellan to stand before the country as the c andidate of conciliation and peace. Tbe Black Republicans declare themselres iu their platform, "in favor, furthermore, of such an amendment to the Constitution to be made by the people iu conformity with its provisions, as shall terminate and forever prohibit the existence of slavery within the limits of the jurisdiction of the United States " This plank declares Mr Lincoln tobe, as the candidate of the Radical Abolitionists, opposed to the Constitution as it is. The platform of the Democracy declares the Constitution "the only solid foundation of our strength, security and happiness as n people," and adds tint it is "a framework of Government equally conducive to the welfare and prosperity ot all the States, both Northern and Southern." I b - platform places General McClellan before the people as tbe advocate of the Constitution as it exists The Baltimore platform affirms that the Black Republicans "approve and indorse, as demanded by the emergency, and essential to the pre! rait of the nation as within the Constitu lion, the measures and acts which he (Mr Lin coin) has udopted to defend the nation against its open and secret foes." This clause places Mr Lincoln before the country as the advocate of arbitrary arrests, of outrages on the freedom of the press, of violations of the sanctity of the ballot box, and of his repeated overriding in these States of all civil and political rights. The Democratic platform "resolved :hat the direct interference of the military authority of the United States in the recent elections held in Kentuckv, Maryland. Missouri and Delaware a mt was a shameful violation of the Constitution." Another of the Chicago planks protests against "the arbitrary arrest, imprisonment, trial and sentence of American citizens in States where civil law exists in ful! force, the suppression of the freedom of speech aud of the press, the employment of unusual test oaths, and the 1 interference with, and the denial of, the right of the people to bear arms " These place Gen McClellan before the country as the advocate of all the rights of the citizen, personal and politi cal free speech, free press, free suffrage and trial br jury. Mr Lincoln, then, is the candidate of war; Gen McClellan is the candidate of peace. The aboldirvn nominee asks that he be allowed to force back the South, a desolation, by conquest; tbe Democratic candidate asks to win it back, a productive territory, by conciliation. The Baltimore nominee invites the people to support bim in bil desip to abolitioniie the C 1 stitution: the Chicago nominee invites the peo p!e lo support him in hid determination to sup port the Constitution as it Is. Mr Lincoln a-k- the country to commend , while General McCiellsn asks 11 to condemn out rages on the freedom of hpeech and of the press, incarceration of citizens by military violence, an J high handed v iolations ol that sanctuary of pop ular l:berty the ballot box. The foregoing is an honest miking up of the actual issues resented by the psrtie to the pend ing canva--. With peace, persoual and political liberty, an 1 t'.c Constitution as it is emblazoned upon our -tandard. we go iato the contest, our hearts swelling with undoubting hope that draws it- in-ipir.it. n from a nrofound confidence in thel intetligeoce, the virtue and the love of liberty of the people.

Baltiwobb. September 1. THE SITUATION OR THE POTOMAC. Tbe events of the laat few days have demon atrated the correctness of the views expressed in mr MKSnl IaIIui hk I lliAw nnnltl tn MMr w i f Wi rijicuIe lbe im' whlch the Admiois tration organs induleed in from the 26th to tbe 30th ult. The recent pursuit of Early, by Sheridan, from Harpers rerrv to Strasburg, its inglorious term, nttion aod the dlMlltroua ,.4 of Sheridan ftoai Wtsiclaiaaw. ajsjBaaj M have beci er.t;re!v forgotten. Again the often deceived public were assured that the rebels were retreating, that the valley would soon be cleared of tbem, and that Early had been ordered to bring back all his forces quickly for the defense of Richmond. Sheridan's army was in pursuit, tbe country was informed sis days ago. Early's army would be caught before it reached Woodstock, or even Strasburg; tbe thrashers of wheat would be well thrashed by tbe thrashers of rebels; the whole of , the Shenandoah Valley was to be swept clear of rebel from tht Potomac down to Harrisonburg and Staunton; and 'the first task of the cam paign, the repossession of the Shenandoah Val ley," was to become an accomplished fact; Win ehester, Strasburg and Front Royal were to be Hiccessivelr seized, held, occunied and fortified. and were to be then defended by large, permanent garrisons of Union troops. This would be LAvin8 pwseasion of the Shenandoah Valley. Nothing else would be Such was tbe pro gramme, HOW ys tbe psogbaii me bees cawuepopt? The ..pur8uit was'commenced on tbe 26tb ultimo. The cavalry, uuder Geoeraia Torbet, Custer. Wilson and Merritt, led the way. The artillery followed. The solid divisions of in fantry in the sixth, eighth and nineteenth corps, marched steadily after The pursuit continued till the 30th ultimo. By that time the column had reached Smithfielu and the Opequan river, having-marched the enormous distance of fifteen miles from Harper's Ferry in four days. The weather, however, was uot so hot as on iheir former march to Strasburg, in which the column moved at the rate of twenty miles a day, nnd consequently the men did not suffer so much. THE ENP OF THE PIRSt lT. The "pursuit" terminated at the Opequan river, an inconsiderable stream that flows north ward and empties into the Potomac a short distance above the mouth of Antietam creek. On arriving at Smilhfield, half way between Uar per's Ferry and Winchester, it was found that it was not true that the Confederates had moved southwardly On the contrary, a cavalry reeon noisance, made in strong force ou the 2th, dis closed the fact that they had moved westward from Harper's Ferry, but had halted on the west side of the Opequan river. THE BATTLES ON THE OTEQCAN. Two battles teok place here one on the 28th and one on the 29th. Gen. Sheridan had found the rebels sooner than he expected, but he was ready to fight them, and he did fight tbem These actions were both fiercely contested and our loss was heavy. One peculiarity of the-e fights was, that in them the cavalry on both sides charged upon masses of infantry. An officer of the" 6th corps, in describing these actious to my informant, stys that our troops behaved with that coolness and steady courage that always marks the conduct of that corps, hut that it was impossible to withhold admiration at the gallantry with which the rebels fought. THE ENEMY MAINTAINS HIS POSITION. The result of thee engagements was, how ever, that we failed to dislodge the enemy from the position he had chosen, and the rebels were left in the secure occupancy of the left bank of the Opequan. We did not retreat, but our army retired to Charlestown. Mr. Stanton says it is there this morning ADVANTAGES Or KAELt's rBKSKNT POSITION. The position now held by General Early's forces resembles very much the Confederate position at Mine run last year, from which Meade's whole army failed to dislodge them. It has the great advantage, too. of giving the rebels complete control of the whole valley, and of the important turnpike road which, running from Staun ton to Hagerstown, passes through Harrisonburg, Woodstock, Strasburg, Winchester and Martinsburg, and crosses the Potomac nt William-port. It is in every respects far more advantageous po sitiou than that from which Early moved on the 24th and 2oth, near Charlestown, while our army was at Halltown. It is not too much to say that General Early even with only thirty thousand troops, can maintain himself where he is now as long as it may be desirable, and that Sheridan cannot dislodge him therefrom At the same time, he can receive reinforcements from Richmond, either up the Shenandoah Valley or by the railroads to Warreotoo, and thence through Ashby's gap to Winchester. THE BA1LBOAOS BKTTVEF.N BICH MOND AND WASHINGTON. The short sighted policy which the Administration has pursued iu regard to the railroads in Virginia will yet, it is to be feared, yield bitter fruit. Months ago 1 referred to this subject, and early in August I pointed out the fact that the railroad from Gordonsville to Warrenton Junction was being repaired, which would give the rebels direct railroad communication between their capital and their army operating in the valley near the Potomac river. If the rebels do not abandon their contemplated attack on Wash ioctoO this fall, this railroad will prove a most valuable adjuuet to them. As it is, it lias been the means of transporting uncounted quaotitie of wheat to tbe granaries of Richmond, and it is worth more to Gen. Early than a reinforcement of twenty thousand men. THE REBEL FORCE IN THK VALLET. The position of tbe Administration in regard to the campaign in the valley is a most humilia ting oue They have obliged General Grant to detach from the Army of the Potomac at least 3?, 0U0 or 40,000 troops, including cavalry, which might otherwise be a Mel to Grant's present force at Peter-burg. Yet this body of veterans, added to the troops, under Hunter, Crook, Kelly, Averill. Wallace and Couch, are absolutely una ble to advance twenty miles from Harper's Ferry, but have to bug the Potomac iu order to preveut fcarly from crossing that stream. This itnmes force is actually unable to drive Early's troops twenty miles from the fotomac river It i no wonder that the Administration should feel , ashamed of this state of thiags, and should re Bel to all sorts ot expedients to explain it away i It is the Administration papers that are now trying to magnify the rebel force in the valley. It is tbe Administration papers that now speak of 'two div lone of Fijck.nridge's corps," ic. Hre kinridge has no corps. He commands a single division, which, it it is full, as I believe it is, numbers five thousand men; but, if it is not full, numbers much less than that. There are three brigades in hi division, and it was two of ther 1 rigades before which (ieneral Custar's aavalrj brigade was compelled to fall back on Opequan river, on the 29tb. There is no evi deuce that Early'! whole force exceeds thirty five thousand men. including recent reinforce omits.
