H. HARRIS & CO. GEO. W. KIDD, BANKER. GRANITE BUILDING, BROAD ST., NEVADA. OLD DUST Purchased at the Highest Market Rates, and liberal advances made on Dust forwarded for Assay or for Coinage at the U. 8. Mint. Sa ae Manner and More of the Battle of Edward’s Ferry. The St. Louis Republican of October 30th says: A writer, who occupies tbe leading column of the National Intelligeacer with ao account of the battle of Edward’s Ferry, contends tbat, with the exception of the matter of tracsportation, the affair was well managed throughout, andin the main accomplished Gen. Stone’s aud Gen. Banks’ plans, Gen. Baker’s force consisted of 1,700 men—composed of the Marsachusetts 15th, 700, three companies of the Massachusetts 20th, the California Regiment and two companies of the Tammany Regiment. There were taken along two howitzers, Rickett's United States battery and one James’s rifled cannon of the 3d Rhode Island battery. Near the battle-ground are, he says, two ferries—Conrad’s at the head of Harrison Island. and Edwards’s six miles below, on the direct road from Poolesville to Leesburg. Stone’s plan was to divert attention from both these points by making a feint five miles above Edwarde’s Ferry. This feint was accomplished by sending over Baker with his men, to draw off the main force of the enemy. Meanwhile, as soon as it was seen that it was successful, Gen. Stone was to cross at Edwards’s Ferry. All was executed as designed. Baker crossed above, and Stone, when he found him engaged, crossed at Edwards’s Ferry, There, as this writer argues, “this little force of Baker became, as it were, a forlorn hope, which at fearful risk and result to themselves, purchased immunity and safe crosssinig for the main body.” Tis was on Sunday night. On Monday and Tuesday, Gen. Banks wae moving up his division from Darnestown, nine miles below Poolesville, and on Wednesday began crossing to join General Stone, The work was within a few hours of itscompletion, when an an order from headquarters (Gen, McClellan with his staff being on the spot) directed the entire force to recrosé and take up their position on the Maryland shore. The writer calls this a change of plan, and adds that it is notin his power to explain it nor his purpose to criticise it. This statement is designed to remove all blame from Gen, Stone, but confesses a terrible mistake in the matterof transportation, without accounting for it. Unaccounted for, it leaves Gen. Stone toexplain bow he should deliberately form the plan ascribed to him, without making all the provisions possible to insure “the forlorn hope,’’ with Baker atits head, from the destruction which was inevitable under the circumstanees. A forlorn hope of 1,700 men, even in the case supposed, is, it strikes us, a large sacrifice, and certainly a needless one. Gen. Scott, is, we suppose, the person intended by “beadquarters,’”’ as it is added that McClellan was on the ground, which specially exempts him from all implication. In some quarters Col, Baker has been accused of rashness and of exceeding bis instructions, On this point, the New York World says: Col. Baker wasin charge of the troops oo the Virginia side, but when the attack was at its height it was plain that the enemy outnumbered him three to one ; he fell pierced with bullets, and most of his troops were shot down, taken prisoners, or driven toa watery grave inthe Potomac. It is useless to represent, as has been done, that this oceurred because Col. Baker exceeded his instructions. It may be very true that that lamented officer was previously ordered not to engage io battle in case he found the enemy in force, bnt it eounds like mockery. Ifthe enemy were in superior force, of course he would be attacked ; and with the Potomac bebind him, and with no means of crossing it but with two or three wretched scows, he had no alternative but to accept battle, and sell his own life and the lives of bis soldiers as dearly as possiible. Col. Baker wasnot at fault. The blunder was not bis, It lies with those who sent him with an inadequate force, and unprovided with the means of direct retreat, if neceseaty, to the main army of 25,000 on the other bank. The people will eee to it that this miserable error, which all ean understand, attaches to just where it belongs, among living men, and not to its victim now speechless in his coffin, Tne Forces ix tue Fieio.—The New York Herald, of October 25th, says it bas compiled from reliable sources, a table showing that we have now in the field, or on the way to the seat of war, an army of five hundred and twelve thousand men! Of these, 35,500 are cavalry and 5,300 artillery. ABSENCE OF Minp.—The San Bernardino Patriot says that a gentleman reeently requested the editor to publish an announcement of bis marriage. It was found, however, that the man had forgotten his wife’s name and no effort could recall it to his recollection. Wit Resien.—-The Bowling Green (Ky.) Courier, publishesacard from Jobo C. Breckinridge, stating it to he his intention to resign hia eeat in the U, 8, Senate. rey 24 Bn Ke EE i AES vena iiortite Lian tn tee dea a
