REMARKABLE SPEECH OF JOHN VAN BUREN
IN NEW YORK THE TRIBUNE DENIES THAT
BUELL WAS .VICTORIOUS AT PERRYVILLE
RicnMoan, October 17. At the Democratic meeting
in New York John Van Buren pronoanccd the Repub
lican administration tbe most contemptible Government
on tbe faee of the earth. His plan was that McClel-
latnrfronld move on to Richmond ; that then a Conven
tion should be called, and Southern' brethren invite!
to it The Constitution should then be altered so that
all should .hereafter live ia peace ; and if the south
would not stay, be would say to them,' "Away with
you ; sisters depart in peaoe." The Democracy would
not lose time In talking ; and If the people called tbem
traitors, just knock them down, and go to the polls'.
They had been told that the Southern people would
not live, and, in his jougment, they ought ii&t t) live
under Abolition sway, and be would not lire tritli
them if they would.
The rorthcrn accounts from Kentucky are meagre
and indefinite. The Tribune denies that Bucll was vic
torious; and insinuates that he is either a fool or a
traitor. '
Cincinnati papers of the 11th are filled with accounts
of the great battle between Generals Bragg and Buell.
Tbe tenor of their accounts is that Bucll is badly de
feated and -driven across -Kentucky river, and that
Bragg Is vigorously pursulng.7
A Confederate burial party, sent to Corinth, were
detained as prisoners by the Yankees.' They were sub
sequently paroled, and arrjted at Holly Springs on

ARMY NEWS.
Persons .arriving from" the North; report that the
dash of General Stuart into Penncylvania has produced
a great commotion and tremor in the country of the
Abolitionists. This is about the. third time Stuart has

From the same source we learn that McCIcllan con
templates anything else than an advauoe into Northern

fect, apon many of bis officers and men, of producing
certain twinges about their necks, which bring to mind
the ad and lamentable fato of the redoubtable John
Brown, whoe exploit in that vicinity was once openly
condemned by themselves.
From certain movements elsewhere, we may be
justified, any day, in looking for another tremor in tbe
enemy's country, resulting from an invasion of Yan
kee land in a direction not at all looked for-by-the ab
olitionists. The horses are saddled', and the troopers
are booted and spurred.

when cut up will make over five hundred comfortable

Death of Gen. Cjeorge H Anderson.
We record, with unfeigned regret, the , death
of this gallant and promising young officer. Our ;
readers are awaro that Gen. Anderson was wound '
ed in the foot at the battle of Sharpsburg, Md., ";
and was compelled to leave ttik field. It appears ;
that his sorgeon supposed the wound to have been
caused by a fragment of a shelf which did not .
lodge, and his wound was pronounced to be
slight. . s

very painful, but exceedingly critical.
.On Wednesday last, after full consultation, his
physicians determined as a last resort, to amputate
tho limb above'' the ankle. He bore the operation,
though very painful, with much fortitude, but his
system had been already prostrated under his pre- "
vious Bufferings. Every effort within the compafs '
ofjhuman skill and the kindest attentions was made
foMhc sufferer, but allin vain. .Oh Wednesday
evening it was discovered that he was sinking. .
He breathed his last on yesterday morning, at the
