Enshrine a new glory as each is unfurled; 
Let it apeak to our hearts still as sweet as of old. 
The herald of Freedom all over the world. 
Let it float out in triumph, lei it wave over head, 
The noble old ensign, its stripes and Its stars; 
It gave u» our freedom, o'erahftdowB our dead, 
Gave might to oar heroes, made sacred their scars. 
Lot it wave in the sun beam, unfurl in the storm, 
Our guardian at morning, our beacon at night, 
When peace shines In splendor athwart her bright form, 
Or war's bloody band holds the standard of might.

Let it still be the banner that cover* the brave,

ROCHESTER, N., Y 
OCTOBER 10, 1863. 
The Army in Virginia. 
There is but little of importance to chroni¬ 
cle concerning this portion of the Federal force 
except the tact that two corps—the 11th and 
12th, Generals Howard and Slocum—have been 
withdrawn from Gen. Meade, and sent forward 
to re-enforce Gen. Rosecrans. It is said these 
corps will be under Gen. Hooker. 
Those supposed to know, state that no fears 
need be entertained that the army of the Poto¬ 
mac is weaker than the force in its front. From 
the latest advices it appears that it largely out¬ 
numbers the enemy's army, placing infantry 
against the rebel line of all arms, while we have 
a very large force of cavalry seldom idle, but 
daily hanging over the enemy and making any 
movement on his part dillicult. 
Richmond prisoners who reached Washington 
on the 1st inst, declare that A. P. Hill still com¬ 
mands the Richmond defences with about 8,000 
men, and that Longstreet re-enforced Bragg 
about, three weeks since with 28,000 men. 
The enforcement of the death penalty in the 
Army of the Roto nine is rapidly decreasing the 
number of desertions. Conscripts aud substi¬ 
tutes are arriving in considerable numbers, and 
deserters who are forwarded to their regiments 
for trial aud punishment. 
The 26th and 21st Army Corps have been con¬ 
solidated aud will be called the 4th Corps. They 
are to be commanded by Major-Generals Gor¬ 
don and Granger. 
On the night of the 2d inst. a gang of guerril¬ 
las surprised the guard at Camp Beckwith, near 
Longby, three miles from the chain bridge, and 
fired into the tents of the men, stampeding the 
entire camp. Two of them were killed and sev¬ 
eral wounded. The guerrillas escaped without 
loss, carrying off with them a number of prison¬ 
ers and fifty horses. It is reported that all of our 
men were asleep.

AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON, 
A rumor has been circulated that the Secre¬ 
tary of the Treasury needs more money and is 
about to ask for another temporary loan. This 
is a mistake. All the necessary provisions have 
been made to meet the demands upon the 
Treasury, at least, throughout the present month, 
without another loan. In fact, only one half of 
the last loan has been drawn for. 
The receipts from internal revenue on the 1st 
inst, amounted to $350,000. On the 2d they 
reached nearly $500,000. The aggregate re¬ 
ceipts thus far, in round numbers, are $54,000,000. 
It is estimated that there will amount from this 
source $80,000,000 lor the year. 
It is the opinion of Judge Lewis that the 
receipts from internal revenue will be more than 
sufficient to pay the interest on the public debt 
The Cabinet was in session for several hours 
on the 2d. It is understood that the condition 
of affairs in the Department of Missouri was 
among the principal topics under consideration. 
It is pretty well settled that there will be a 
change in the military commander of the De¬ 
partment, but it has not been decided how far the 
civil governorship may be interfered with. There 
is an evident disposition to give the military com¬ 
mand of the Department to Gen. Butler. 
William Lawrence, of Beliefontaine, Ohio, has 
been appointed Judge of the U. S. District Court 
of Florida, in place of William Marion, resigned. 
It is estimated that the expenditures ^f the 
Quartermaster's Department for the fiscal year 
ending June 80th, 1863. will amount to some¬ 
where in the neighborhood oi - $375,000,000. The 
clothing bureau alone will swallow upward of 
$ 100 , 000 , 000 . 
Notes for the new National Banks will be 
issued in a week or ten days. 
Ii has been decided by the Provost Marshal- 
General that those who have paid $300 without 
being examined, and are subsequently examined 
and found entitled to exemption, can have their 
commutation money reminded. Those having 
substitutes in the service on March 3d, 1862, and, 
being drafted, have paid commutation, are enti¬ 
tled to have it reimbursed ; and those who, 
under these circumstances have furnished sub¬ 
stitutes, are entitled to have the amount actually 
paid lor such substitutes refunded on making a 
claim and producing the proof of payment. 
Recruiting for colored regiments is proceeding 
with great rapidity in Maryland. One full regi¬ 
ment. and enough companies to nearly complete 
another, have been sent south from Baltimore 
and a third regiment is nearly full, making 
seven regiments of United States colored troops 
raised in Virginia, Maryland and the District of 
Columbia. A hundred recruits come in daily. 
Loyal masters receive certificates from the Gov¬ 
ernment for each enlisted slave for $300, payable 
Department of the Gulf. 
The steamer Morning Star arrived at New 
York on the 30th nit. with New Orleans dates 
to the 24th. We gather the following intelligence 
from the New Orleans journals: 
On the night of the 21st a party of men cut 
out the tug Leviathan from under the guns of 
the De Soto, at South West Pass. The loss was 
not discovered until morning, when the De Soto 
and another gunboat went in chase, and recap¬ 
tured the tug with all on board. 
The New Orleans Era says:—A most disas¬ 
trous reverse has occurred to the Federate in 
Louisiana. This concurs with rumors that Gen. 
Weitzel has been defeated and killed by Gen. 
Dick Taylor, at Napoleon, Louisiana. 
A letter from the steamer Seminole, dated Rio 
del Norte, September 12th, says:—“The most 
valuable prize of the war has been captured by 
the Seminole. She is of British build, and over 
300 feet long, and showed British colors. She 
has evidently been fitted out in England for a 
rebel man-of-war.” 
The particulars of the English steamer Wm. 
Pitt, show that she had landed her Liverpool 
cargo of arms, &e.. in Mexican waters, and took 
on board some fifteen bales of cotton, when the 
French authorities ordered her to leave Mexican 
waters, which she did. coming over to the Amer¬ 
ican side of the Rio Grande river. Capt. Rol¬ 
lins. of the Seminole, very promptly sent two 
officers and n number of men and seized her, 
transferred her officers and crew to the Seminole 
as prisoners of war, and sent the vessel to New 
Orleans. Capt. Hoe, of the British ship Pleides, 
demanded an explanation, He received, to the 
effect, from Capt. Rollins, that she had landed 
contraband of war in American waters, and had 
contraband of war on board. , 
The World's New Orleans letter of the 24-th 
says:—The advance to Texas is still an onward 
movement, and as yet nothing more. For more 
than a fortnight Brashear has been the base of 
concentration for the new movements. Men and 
supplies have been forwarded as rapidly as pos¬ 
sible by railroad, while ordnance stores and am¬ 
munition in large amounts have been sent by 
way of the Gulf to Berwick Bay. 
The latest returns tell ns that last Saturday 
nearly the whole of the 18th army corps, under 
the immediate command of Weitzel, had crossed 
and encamped on the other side. The 13th army 
corps was to follow, leaving, of course, sufficient 
force to hold the base at Brashear. while a regi¬ 
ment or two will remain at Thibbodeleux. 
It is presumed, with the experience of the 
Tennessee.— A special (o the N. Y. Tribune 
from Cincinnati, gives news from Knoxville to 
Thursday week. Burnside is still there. There 
are no signs of rebel movements there. The 
rebel General Jones is close to the Virginia line. 
Part of Burnside’s force has gone on an expedi¬ 
tion into South-western Virginia. Important re¬ 
sults were expected. 
A special dispatch to the Cincinnati Commer¬ 
cial, dated Chattanooga, Sept, 30tb, says:—Two 
hundred ambulances sent within the enemy’s 
lines under flag of truce, brought over 500 of our 
wounded. While in the enemy’s hands they had 
nothing to cat but corn bread. The rebels 
treated them very kindly, and expressed their 
regret that they could not provide better food. 
They refused to permit the bodies of wounded 
or deceased officers to be removed. The enemy 
hold 52 of our surgeons as prisoners of war. 
Our ambulances returned to the rebel lines with 
the wounded rebels who fell into our bands. 
Both armies are busy fortifying. The pickets 
are within a stone's throw of each other. It is 
understood that the press reports of the battle 
cause considerable indignation among the troops. 
The statement that Reynolds' and Brannan's 
divisions were thrown into disorder is incorrect 
I learn from Gen. Thomas that the obstinate 
bravery of these commands insured his safety. 
Advices from Chattanooga up to the 3d inst. 
have been received. It was estimated at head¬ 
quarters that the loss at the battle of Chicamauga 
was. killed, 1.800; wounded, 9,500; prisoners. 
1,500. Total, 12.300. It was the opinion that if 
the right wing had held its own, the result, would 
have been a decisive Union victory. The suc¬ 
cess of Gen. Thomas on the left was much 
greater than has been represented in any pub¬ 
lished account of ihe battle. Thomas routed 
Longstreet's corps, and was in a condition to 
pursue the enemy, and would have done so, had 
not the right wing been disorganized. No sur¬ 
prise is felt in the army that the enemy did not 
resume the attack. Their loss is believed to be 
20,000. Our army is in superb fighting trim, 
compact in organization, well supplied with pro¬ 
visions aud ammunition and full of confidence. 
The Chattanooga Jlfbtl, now published at 
Atlanta. Ga, says:—Gen. Bragg has consented 
to exchange wounded with Gen. Rosecrans.■

Of the Corps d'Afrique organized under the 
auspices of General Banks, fifteen thousand col¬ 
ored soldiers have already been mustered into

The Canadian Minister of Finance announces 
that he te six millions short this year—a sum of 
money equal to two-tbirds of the net revenue of 
the Province. To make it up he will have to

expenditure is $15,116,711. 
Tue number of prize vessels taken into the 
port of Philadelphia since the commencement of 
the war is eigbty-five. The most valuable, in¬ 
cluding the cargo, was the steamer Bermuda, 
which realized more than half a million of dol¬ 
lars. Several of the late prizes, which brought 
heavy cargoes of cotton, realized large sums.
