MONPAY, AUGUST 18, 1862.
THE WAR.
The movement of the Army *f the I’olomse
creates a feeling of surprise among the people, but
people are apt to be astonished at wha,t they do not.
understand, : The neoewity for sooh a movement-
has been pointed out again and'again in these
columns, There are two roads to Richmond open
to the Army of the Potomao, and it only remainod
for the commanding general to say by which route
the enemy could be most, successfully 'operated
against, and McClellan would seem to have deter
mined in this matter to “ keep to the right, as the
'law directs.". Itisnow that oar armies seem to ope
rate as if directed by ono able mind —there is a har.
mony ef movement evident, as well as a masterly of
fort to move upon aCertain point and concentrate in
force for a combined attack upon the rebel capital,
which is really a beleaguered city, and more in
danger of capture than over before. With the
Amy of Virginia aoross the Rapidan, and the
Array of the rotomao again within sight of Rich
mond, strongly reinforoed, smarting under tempo
rary reverses, and burning for viotory, the rebels
will find that their couseript army of thousands will
not save them, their capital, or pseudo Government.
Tub return of Col. Michael Comoran will mark
an important epoch In the history great
American Rebellion. Ho is now in Washington
among his frie; ds, and will soon be with his Irish
compatriots on lire field of battle. A fitting and
most bountiful com piimentow»«~iro>to-*~• ~
n-g-nr~rvSstimgtnn. Col. Maggi’s Regi
; mentof Massachusetts volunteers—one of the now
regiments—arrived in the capital city yesterday
afternoon, and in passing through, wag halted op
posite the gallant Colonel’s quarters, and, after
giving him nine cheers and a tiger, called lustily
for his appoarar.ee. Tho Colonel promptly arose
from the supper table, and in a few" brief but ap
propriate remarks addressed the enthusiastic
troops. From his speech wo have an inklirg of
the great fires of patriotism and salutary inoopfcive
vengeance that ate burning briskly in the Irish
chieftain's breast. He spoke hot of words,
.arguments, or speeches, but of notion, im
mediate, decisive, overwhelming. Like a true
soldier, patriot, and leader, he says he is
ready to scire either the sword or musket, which
ever it might fait to his lot to hold, and maroh to
the field to crush the traitors into submission, or ex-
terminate them ire tofo. The language is. worthy
of the hero. Colonel Corcoran will probably pass
through this city o > Tuesday or Wednesday, and
4 •will, no doubt, address the people in front of the
Continental Hotel

Another Address from Mr. Hughes.
The chairman of the Democratic State Cen
tral Ci iuinitice has opened the campaign by
giving usreaciiDg matter euough tor an ordinary
season. How his foliowers manage to survive ’
the summer mouths under such an infliction is
a sourco of anxiety and wonder. We had a
long address a, few days hgo, which war only
a reprint of weary extracts fr»m Congressional
speeches. Sow we have another long address,
on the propriety of holding a celebration of
the coming anniversary of the adoption of the
Federal Consritntibn. The basis of this ad
dress is a resolution which, was adopted by the
State Central Committee. , “ Resolved,” says
the "resolution,that; the chairman call upon
, the loyal men of Pennsylvania, through tlio
Democratic standing commit tees of the several*
counties, to meet m the several Cities and
counties of the State, at such places as shall
he designated by the said standing committees
respectively, on the 17th of September next,
to celebrato that day as the anniversary of the
day of the adoption of the Constitution of the.
United States.” Such a resolution would ex
plain itself, but Mr. Hcohes hastens to im
prove the occasion by elaborately exhorting all
true Democrats, and expounding true Demo
cratic principles.
We, of courso, have all the old arguments.
It would be impofsibio, eye* for the ingenuity
of Mr. Bcghks, to vary the song. According to
his reasoning, “ the Constitution and*Unlon is
now assaile d.throughout the whole land, by Se
• cesslonists in the South and by Abolitionists in
the North.” The comparison botwixt the
Sscessiovists ahd the Abolitionists will show
the true meaning of Mr. fftifll'v” “
oxisfceuco of our con
stitutional Government.” This is mildly ro
moDfitrative. it fliows that the author is ciis-
posed to be kind, considerate, and desirous of
• r>giTing no ofleuce j it may be oven considered
complimentary. for it states Jefpkbsox Davis’
CASO **;7»*J- much the same words that Jks
raEseir Da vis himself would U3e. There
is no allusion to a rebellion or treason)
no calling of han-h names, as plain and loyal
people are often provoked into doing. In Mr.
Hughes’ cast* it might bo personal, and there
fore unpleasant j so he scrupulously avoids
anyth in g that might hurt the feelings of rela
tives and friends. When ho approaches the
Abolitionists wo sco how he loses his temper. '
Ho drops the creamy phrase of compliment i
and remonstrance, and bocomes venomous and I
rhetorical. “ The latter,” ho says, alluding
to the Abojifionists, “by equally diroot efforts, j
but from under the cloak of recently-declared
friendship atd patriotism,; are seeking s to
thiust their traitorous stilettos into the heart
of the nation.” These aro fearful,: words;
et us sco how justly they.are applied.
The Secesr.ior.hts W 0 murdered our bro
: tters and kinsnmn-thoy bave ontrdgcd the
honor of our flag-they have thrown old
men into dungeons-— they have armed'and i
equipped immense armies formo other nurooss I
- than the destruction of the Union-thcy have
violated every nile of constant acts I
Of .cruelty to our prisoners—thoy murdered !
ITmah men in EaMetu Tennessee, and massa- I
cred Union generals when sick and helpless— *
they have recognktd piracy in their privateer- j
< Ing, and legalized robbery and bandit warfare !
in protecting the guerillas—and yet, with ad
this lutcnmulatioh of-crime) horror, and bar
barity, the harshest phrase Jthismoddl Demo
crat and proi fic writer can use is that they
are. engaged in a “bold and organized
movement.” What have the Abolition
ists .done fo excite his harsh apd unmean
ing- Jnvccdve? We use the word with all
the extensive application given to it by Mr.
Hughes. Das any Abolitionist attempted to
dishonor this GovcrnmenCor murder it# oiti
xens ? Has any Abolitionist organized an
army, or conspired against the 'Government,
or burned bouses, or committed men to loa'h
aome prisons? The men whom Mr. Hminis
calls Abolitionists are die true and loyal men
of tbe North —the men wbo are sacrificing
everything that this nation may bo trium
phant—such metf as , Mr. Lincoln and Mr.
Seward, Mr. Fessbndbh and Mr. Wiuioiy
Gen. Banks and Gen. Sigel, Col Oouoorax
and Col. Wilcox, Mr. Coobbak and|Mr. Ross.
They have boon guilty of no crime, and have
done nothing incompatible with their duty as
citizens. <
We are not misrepresenting Mr."Hcoiies or ,
misstating his ease. We dismiss his invidious
comparison and return to his address. Were
he sincere in his own loyalty, what a glorious
opportunity he has for making that sincerity
manifest! And yet there is no word of sym
pathy with our cause—not a word of comfort
for the suffering soldier in the field—not a
single sentence to which the patriotic' citi
zen can respond. We have an ironical sneer
at the President, carping quotations from -the
Constitution, cold appeals for its preserve-.
tion, threatened riots and an invocation
to mob law. What ’ can be the meaning of
such sentences as these?—“Next to the
possession of our constitutional lights,. we
should strive to secure the most thorough
observance of order, and the personal
rights of every citizen.” . “ Our enemies seek
to impute to us a willingness to produce a
collision of forces.” “To surrender our con
stitutional rights would be to degrade oar man
hood.” “No such surrender will ever be_
mado.”-_“JE«-'» !U -'^-> J ——srwwng-wirow
honor and these rights to avert such collision.”
“We shall have tbe help of the Government
to aid us in protecting our rights and avoiding
such collision.” “ Upon the head# of our ag
gressors must be tbe responsibility of any con
sequences of evil.” Does Mr. Hernias mean
to intimidate the loyal people of the North
into permitting, treason to be uttered in their
midst ? AW wo to have him and his trea.
soßable myrmidons assembling on the seven
teenth of September with pikes in their
hands, to “ visit upon the heads of their ag
gressors the consequences of evil,” or, in
other words, to sing praises to Jeffersos
Davis; and punish those who interrupt the
chorus! What other necessity for this invo
cation to arms and anarchy? Mr. Huguks
knows very well that there is no desire to
interfere with him or any citizen who sustains
the Government and donauneos treason;
Theso cowardly appeals, therefore, are insult
ing to our people and disgraceful to our
wtiter. It shows the, foregone determination
to do evil, the consciousness of guilty and the
dread of its consequences:
Suspicion alwaya hannta tha gnUty tnin l ;
s?ii6 thief doth fear t*»ob bush an officer.”
. And this is the Democracy we are called
upon to worship J This is the proud Demo
cracy of former days, the triumphant Demo
cracy of a hundred hard-fonght contests—the
Democracy that never abandoned a principle,
or permitted dishonor to tho country. Tihltd ?
shrinking, cowardly, and base—wedded to
treason, and poisoned by the ".union, we see it
to-day a melancholy spectacle of what the de
sertion of principle and the toleration of na
tional dishonor will produce. We seo it on
its knees beseeching the officors of the law to
protect it from the indignation of the loyal
community, and threatening with impotent
rage all who dissent from the treason it repre
sents ; and defends. The people, however,
have doomed it to infamy and destruction,
and the dreary essays of Mr. Huonna will
only hasten its eniT.
Corcoran and Wilcox.
Colonel Mjchakl Corcouan returns to us
from the South. Enlisted in onr eausb when
the feelings'of many of our groat men, from
whom wo had a right to expect better things,
were doubtful and unsettled, this youog adopt
ed citizen of our great Republic, feeling that
he owed her the debt of gratitude which
every patriot acknowledged, summoned to
gether and hastily filled up the Sixty-ninth
went with it to Washington—to Virginia—to
Bull Knn, and i pon that field boggy with the
cobwebs of treason and treachery, fought it
"until it was cut to pieces, and he, with many
of his bravo officers and men, was taken a
prisoner, seemingly with an eye single to the
performance of his duty as a soldi or. Enter
ing Richmond, he bore the taunts of a haughty,
ill-bred, petulcnt people, puffed up enormously
mocked first as an American and then as
an Irishman and « s hireling” of a party and
Administration with whom, as a Democrat, ho
should have had ne sympathy. Again, drawn
as a hostage, bo was thrown into a.vile, filthy
dungeon—the remainder of his career is known.
Col. Corcoran comes from the South as an
apostle of loyalty; bis words should bo weighed
with reverence.. A Democrat, subjected to
torture for months, he wavered not in his de
votion to the tiag and the country of his adop
tion. Over the blue azure of that banner, ho
saw sweet shades of green flit in the sunlight;
intertwined among the stars, Ms fancy painted
a beautiful twig of his own shamrock; nothing
- was wanting—the harp of Erin was in his soul,
and. he' saw Ireland’s hope in the cause for
which be was fighting.
The'very fact that Colonol ConconAS re
turns from the South burning for a vigorous
’ prosecution of the war even to extermination,
proves the cruelty of the rebels, the fallacy of
their cause, and their determination to destroy
the Union if possible, shonldarouse an aveng
ing spirit in every Irishman—in every
Northern man, from whatever land he may
hail—to rally to the defence ot the Union,
determined never to lay down the Anusket
viutil the South shall succumb and bog for
peace in appeasement of the wrath of a
people; and bow should it crash into hateful
oblivion those few cowardly miscreants here
at home among us, who; crying •peace when
there is no peace, would seek to sap the roots
of the Governmental tree while enjoying its
• refreshing shade!
1 Col. Wincox,’ of Michigan, who has just
been released by the rebels, after over a year’s
confinement, arrived in company with Gol.
‘ Corcoran. Although, not as well known as
the latter officer, ho is extremely popular in
1 his own State, and is deserving of as much
! consideration from the public as a. patriot and
a soldier.' He commanded the
j Itegiment inthe three-months campaign, and
was among the first to cross the Long Bridge
and occupy Alexandria at the commencement
of the war. lie gained the highest confidence of
his superiors, and was at once appointed mili
tary governor of Alexandria, which office he
filled with ability,
. , iHxrzEMt.ix, in the
battle of Bull Knn, composed of his own, tba
Firo Zouaves, .and other regiments, and
fought them -well, until he was severely
wounded and taken prisoner. Btii for
this misfortune, and had he continued
in Iho service, he would undoubtedly
have, by this time, ranked among our first mi
litary commanders. A polished gentlemah
and ah able military man, ho was highly eg.
teemed by his officers and soldiers, and all with
whom ho carno in contact; and, as a man;of
energy, activity, thorough military education,
and a laudable ambition to rise to a position
among the first of his country’s defenders, we
hope to see his worth recognized, and his namo
a more familiar one throughout the nation.

LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL,”
Washiroton, August 17,1832.
It is characteristic of Mr. Lincoln that ho
always takes the practical view of a case. A
pretty landscape to him would bo so many
acres of corn, so many bushels to the acre,
and so much revenue accruing therefrom at the
present state of the market. I am not aware
that he has any poetry in his existence, nor
do I find any evidence of a poetical tempor.
Such a thing has not manifested itself during
huiPreiidential career.: ’We should [bo glad
tbat*such is the case. Howover beautifuTtha;
sunset; it Is >of more"; importance whether
it will rain or shine in the morning.
The Presidential chair is not for an after
noon nap or ’pleasant 'day-dream, > The
management of the ship of State re
quires so much uare, address, caution,
and common sense, that we neither seoknor
ask for the joyous and genial master. We
want the skill to read the tempest, the nerve to
snap the halliards at the proper time and send
the mast careering into ! the tumbling soa;
President Lincoln has proved himself to be a
man of this mould, and wo have ho better im
pression of the man as a statesman and a pa
tiiot than his speech on the question of colo
nization. ' ' •:
The negro may well say that under Prosi-i
dent Lincoln ho has had his first hearing in
tbe White House. Other Presidents have
bought and sold him; and driven him from
the territories;and.closed their eyes to tho
ntfarious system under which he was cap
tured in Africa; and dragged oyer tho
ocean in chains. But President Lincoln has
listened to his story and..given .him-eminßoi
-»uu -aaviee. ft 'inliy not bo what his most
ostentations friends would like to hear. Wo
shall certainly be told of the hardship that
would drive a man from the country of his
birth, his family, and his friendships j and I
have heard sober men ask why it is that the
negro, after tilling the soil for two centuries,
should not be permitted to occupy it now. In
all these things there is a certain degree of
justice, but'we may as well dismiss sentiment
and consider the matter plainly; Our people
do not hko the negro. He is not a congenial
companion, nor an acceptable follow-citizou.
There must forever be an antagonism of race.
The blue-eyed Saxon, with his fair hair, pro
jecting cbin, and overhanging forehead, his
pride of country, ancestry, religion, and litera
ture, must always be an exclusive and despotic)
race. He eats bis own corn and the corn of his
neighbor. Justice is nothing to expediency.
Instinct governs conscience—passion controls
principle. There can be nothing like an
equality[of race where the blue-veined Saxon
exists. The tawny East Indians are crouch
ing at his feet—tbe Chinaman cowers ia dis
may—the Indian proudly and submissively
moves on to oblivion and the setting sun,
while the negro tills his fields, grows his cot
ton, digs his entrenchments, and gathers his
food and raiment. ; [
Mr. Lincoln says: « Tho aspiration of men
is to enjoy equality with the best, when free,
but on this broad continent not a man of your
rtice is made the equal of a single man
of ours. Go where you aro treated the
best, and the ban is still upon you.” This
may have been 'unpleasant to the intelli
gent colored men who stood in the Presi
dential mansion, but ho man living denies its
truth. In Massachusetts. you will find the
negro under tho same social stigma that rests
npoh him in Louisiana, Indeed, I have hoard
competent men say that the free negro is
treated better in New Orleans than Boston.
Yon may remember the bitter lament of Mrs,
Stowe in her ephemeral and; long-neglected
« Undo Tom,” tliat in New England she had
known of liberal and educated people who
wonld not rent a house that had been te
nanted by a negro. Take the negro question
in his present aspect—the enlisting and arm
ing of slaves. The friends of this measure
admit Mr. Lincoln’s argument in evory argu
ment they make. Put a spado in the negro’s
hand, it is said—put a musket in Ms hand, say
others—no one has yet been heard to say give
him a sword, and twine around him a sash and
put straps upon his shoulders. The New;
example, Mr. Wendell Phillips, merely asks for
the negro a servile position. Let him dig
works to protect the,; white man, 1 cirry water
or cook meals, and even fight, but he must
fight under a white officer. Mr. Phillips mado
a speech, very, beautiful, ingenious, and fall
of sophistry, in which Napoleon was made to
be t' e imitator of Toussaint L'Ouverture. He
is satisfied now that Tpussaint should serve in
the ranks, with Napoleon as his commander.
With Ibis prejudice existing—deep-seated,
ineradicable and extending—what is to be
done ? I am anxious that the negro
should be happy and prosperous, and enjoy alb
the blessings that God reserves for man. Ho
cannot eat at roy table, or sit in my parlor, or
ride in my . carriage, or lounge in my., opera
box—-hei cannot be'my partner in business, the'
iriohd of niy social life, or the husband of my
kinswomen,' Ho is forever an inferior being,
and all bo can hope for, is a dollar when.l
am gonerous, or the half-worn garments in
rby wardrobe! lam anxious that this should
no longer be, and I find in President Lincoln’s;
wise, humane, and practical address the best’
remedy for this wrong of a race to a race.
The star of the black man is in the east. Lot
him go to the shores of his fathers, and, un
der the ever-beaming sun of his native
land, let him recreate the race to which hie
belongs. When ' tho ocean rolls but-.voan
us we may give the negro our hand.
Commerce will obliterate the differences and
dissensions of race. He has a country where
nature is bounteous and fertile,—with rivers,’
lakes, available coasts, timber, gold, palm-oil,
and ivory,—he has no rival. Place the negro
, in Central America or Africa, in any equatorial
country, and we may hope to see again the
spirit of the Moor whon ho occupied Spain*
and the enterprise ot the Ethiopian when he
bartered and sold in tho markets of Tyr > and
Sidon. Occasional.

It is the general impression of the officers from
the army of the Potomae who arrived from Rich

IMPORTANT FROM NEW ORLEANS.
STRINGENT ORDER OP GEN. BUTLER.
Traitors Assessed to Relieve the
Destitute.
By the arrival of the steamship Saxan at New York on
Friday night, we received advices from New Orleans to
the 6th test. Three steamers had arrlvod at that pert
with an aggregate ot fifteen thousand barrel, of flour—
enough to bring the price of bread down very nuteriiUy.
General Bauer has issued the following important or:
der, providing for the reliof of the Uoatttate poor of the
city: ■ i
HEAtKICARTimS.DKSARTMENT Ot< TSS GcLS,
Nbw’Orlhabs, August 4,180,, ::
GKNBrai. Order No. 65.—1 t appear, that tua needed
relief to the destltnte poor of the city requires more ex
tended measures and greater outlay than have yet bom
made. * - -
It becomes a question in justice upon whom should this
burden fell. -
Clearly upon those who have brought this great ca
lamity, upon their fellow-citizens.
It should notbe borne by taxation of the whole muni
cipality, because the middling and working-men nave
never been beard at the ballot-box, nnawed by threats
and umnenaced by Thugs and paid assasslus, of cons pira
tors against peace and, good oedor. Bosides, more than
the vote which was claimed for Secession have taken the
oath of allegiance to the United States.
Tne Unit* d States Government duos its share when it
protects, defends and preserves the people in the enjoy
ment el law, order, and calm quiet. ,
Those who have brought upon the city this stagnation
of business, this deeolation of the hearth-stone, this
starvation of the poor and helpless', should, as far as they
may be able, relievo distresses
There were two classes whom it would seem peculiarly
fit should at first contribute to this end: First, those in
dividuals and corporations who have aided the rebellion
with their means; and, second, those who have endeavored
to destroy the commercial prosperity of the otty, upon
which the welfare of its inhabitants depends.
It is brought to the knowledge of the commanding
General that a subscription of $1,250,000 was made by
the ccrporatc bodies, businoss firms and persons whose
names are set forth in schedule -• A,” annexed to this
.order, ahd that sum placed in the hannsof an illegal body
known as the.« Dommltice of Public Safety,” for toe trea
sonable purpose of defending tho city against the Govern
nn nt of the United States, under whose humane rule tha
city of New Orleans lied enjoyed such unexampled pros
perity, that her warehouses were filled with the trade of
all nations wko came to share h»r freedom, to take part
in ihe benefits of'her conimercial superiority, aad thus
she was made the representative mart of the world.
Tbn stupidity and wastefulness with which this tm
uunss snm was spent was only equalled by tho foUy
which led to its betng rated at all. The subscribers to
this fnnd, ■ by this very act, betray their treasonable de
signs, and their ability to pay at least a much smaller
tax for the relief of their destitute and starving aeigh
■ bora.
,: Schedule “B” Is a list of cotton brokers, who, claim
ing to control that great interest in New Orleans, to
which she is so muah indebted for her wealth, published
in the newspapers in October, 1861, a mnnifeaco de
liberately advising tbo planters not to bring their pro
duce to the city, a measure which brought ruin at ths
esme time upon the producer and the city. ,
This act snfilcienily testifies the malignity of thoss
traitors as weii to the Government as their neighbors,
and it is to be regretted that tlieir ability to relievo their
fellow .citizens is not equal to tlieir facilities for injuring
them...
In taxing both these classes to relieve the suffering
poor of New Orleans—yea. evon though the , needy bo
the starving wives and children of those in arms at Bioh
mond and i Isewbero against, the United States—it will be
impossible to inako a mistake save in having tha assess
ment too easy and the burden too light.
It is therefore ordered— :
First—That the snms in schedules annexed, marked
“ A”aod “8.”86fc agaiDSt the names of several persons,
bminess flrma and corporations therein deecriOod, be and
hereby are osKceaed upon each reapectively.
Second —That said sums bp paid to tdontbnaut David
O. G. Field, financial clerk, at bia office in the enstom
bouse, on or before i Monday, the 11th inst., or that the
property ef tbo delinquent be forthwith soized and sold
at pnblic auction, to pay the amount, with all necessary
charges and expenses, or the parte imprisoned till paid.

The WarExcitement—Local Mi
litary KaTTEBS.—The present week will be one of
interest and anxiety to the officers of the several regi
ments now to the procoßs of formation to this city. The
regiments have it now within their own hands to deter
mine whether they will be consolidated, and the super
ftoous officers be mastered out of service, or whether
they will fill np their ranks to the required standard.
The task, although it may require considerable exertion,
is by no means impossible. It allr*maiQs with the officers
to say what shall be done. Judging from the manner in
v liiob recruits were obtained on Saturday and Friday last,
we fed cenfldent to saying' that the six regiments accepted
under the first call will be complete by the 28d instant.
These regimentsere: Colonel Tippen, 68tb P V.; Col.
Collie, 114th P. Y.; Col. Keenan, 118th P. Y.; CoL Pre-
Wt,llBtb P. Y.; Col. Elimaker, llfltU P. Y ; Cob Bid
dle, 121st P. Y. This latter regiment 1b Included to the
lint call, and not to the draft, as has been sopposed by
many. In order that recruits may be sworn te as fast as
possible, and no delay caused, fejor Buff, the Halted
States mustering officer,- has three able assistants. The
following Is the state of recruiting np to nine o clook on
Saturday evening V ,
Col. Tippen. 88th Begiment, ,TlB

001. Biddle, 121se Begiment...... 218
Independent Company, Capt. Wrigley 89
Orders have been received for this company to move at
once. They have been encamped on the Bldge road, near
the termtoua of the passenger railroad opmpany.
The following Is the number of-recruits mustered Into
the diff< rent regiments on Saturday last:

Tho sum total of ail mastered Jo amounts to 4,228
Tlie other regimentß—namely, Colt. Schreiner, Adam r,
Wistar, and Davis—too doing well.
Owing to the great anxiety of the War Department to
have the Old regimentshow in the fI«M filled up to their
proper standard, the Citizens’ Bounty Fund Committee
have issned-tbe following appeal: ■ ' :
ATTENTION!—To tbo Loyal, tha Patriotic, and the
Brava The <;ifizcus’ Oommiltee appointed to procure
funds for premium and bounty to all who oia? j im oor
fallen* Philadelphia rpsiments in the field, call on their
fellow-citizens to ba alive to the present ortsis. Maa
are imperatively needed. The wasted ranks of oor glo
rious regiments—the heroes of DrainosvtUo. Winchester,
Pa«r Oalts, cf'tbo'-Cbiokahbmiuy, Malvern Hill, ami
Cedar Mountain-must be reinforced.' Onr country calls
for succor na she never called before. The erMls is neon
ns, and we mast bo equal to it. Ganerals of brigades,
of divisions, and the Oommsnder-In Chief, ail declare
that one recruit for a regiment in the field is worth to his
country, at the present time, ‘eventl for new organiza
tions. They urge, and the War Department urges, the
instantaneous reinforcement or the brave regiments now
before the enemy to their original fall fighting oomplo-
Stent. Om fathers, our hrntners, and. our sons in those
'reginunts fay, “ Come and join us,” Tried soldiers from
the armies in the field have been detailed to recruit here,
and appeal to us to fill up their decimated racks. Pre
mium and bounty, such as m ver befo-o were paid, are
ready for distribution, but love of c-siintr'-. Hull devotion
to the flag that has wared in glory from ITTB to the pra
sentbonr, are the ine-utiyea that are roited upon.

The above appeal needs no further comment. The old
regiments must be fllied.? M»r»hat MUlward has bW ap
■ pointed by the Governor to make the necessary
mento for the draft ,in the Eastern district of the State.
II is probable that be will make an entire'new enroll
ment. as that recently issnrd is very incomplete and nn
reHable. As it is probable that (he first anota of Phils-
Ajjpbia will be filled by the 23d, Rnd a surplus over, this'
erttplns will bo counted in tho draft. The members of the
home Gnard are also subject to the draft. The names of
citizens liable to military duty will be placed in a wheel,
and the.drawibg wiii'talre place publicly. Tho person
whe draws the ballots' from the wheel will be blindfolded.'
It is to be hoped, for the credit of the city,, that both"
quotas will be-raised by volunteers instead of a draft.
But if.tbe draft.does come, it is more than probable it will
bo for A portion only. '
