■ j..-THJB -WAR. V
ffe have highly important news from General
Pope’s array of "Virginia, but refrain from pub-v
listing anything that may be detrimental to the
Government. From private letters received in
this oity, vrhloh have been brought to ua with the
request that their contents be published for the
benefit of the , people, we glean the following
Items whioh are endorsed by our corre
spondence to some extent; but as we deem it
improper to publish details at present, we have
decided it expedient to suppress our news let
ters, In aooordanee with the wishes of the
War Department and Generals Halleok, MoOlel
lan, and Pope, hoping that; in a few days, we may
be able to -entirely relieve the public mind with
both official and unofficial reports of events recent
ly transpiring in Virginia- General Pope has pro
bably fallen baok across the Rappahannook river,
and makes tbat stream his line of defenoe. The
enemy is said to be on the south bank of the river
in great force, and he has made numerous strong,
but ineffectual, attempts to oross, and, if pos>
slble, turn our right flank, at the same time
making a demonstration upon our oentre, with
the. intention of breaking through it. Such a
disposition of our troops has been made that'no
fears are entertained that any further retreat will.
be necessary; on the other hand, we have the an
notnoement by telegraph, that a large portion of
the Army of the Potomac has arrived at Alexan
dria, to reinforce the Army of Virginia. General
McClellan has arrived with them, and it is believed
has assemed command of the, entire Army of tho
Potomac. Fighting of a desultory and indecisive
sort has been going on for several days past, and
the enemy has, no doubt, been reprised at
all points ,by our batteries, but not without soma
toes of artillerymen and horses. Among the dis
tinguished* dead, we regret to record the name of
the gallant Col. Coulter, of the 11th Pennsylvania
Volunteers, who fell nobly figting at the head of
his bravo and war- worn regiment. AU . honor to
his memory, and to the memory of the heroes that
have fallen with him. God grant they may be
few. During Thursday last, heavy firing was heard -
on the extreme left of our line; and this led to the
belief that Burnside’s corps, under command of
Major General Jesse li. Benoj of Pennsylvania, was
giving the enemy a Roanoke Island demonstration,
on a grander soale in an open field, and that the
’ rebels in this’attempt to turn our left flank would
be handsomely repulsed, and our private adyioes
above alluded to indioate as much. Gen. Pope is
praised for great skill and activity exhibited by him
in throwing forward reinforcements to -all weak
points, and it is Bald has had no rest for seventy
two hours; We are most happy to say that
all of oar advices indicate a success, of our
arms at all' Our troops are enthusiastic
and in the very best of spirits; always - eager
to meet the wily foe wherever he may present him
self. It ib evident that Richmond has been left
almost bare 'of troops, and that the whole rebel
army has been launohed against the Army
of Virginia, but before many hours we
hope to record a brilliant,and dooisivo Onion
viotory in the grand battle whioh is now imminent,
and it is thought will be fought on Sunday next.
We see nothing in all this to discourage us in the
least. It is but the consummation of the plans of
our Commander-in-chief. The failure of the cam
paign on the Peninsula.rendered it necessary for
the Army of Virginia to be organized, and pushed
forward towards Richmond, to attract the at
tention of the rebels", while the Army of the
Potomac—a dead letter at Harrison's handing
—should be brought away and put into a po
sition where it could operate against the enemy
effectively.' In bringing it to Alexandria this end
has been attained. In a fewdays the old Army of
the Potomao, comprising: eight corps 'd’armee, all
< strengthened by convalescent soldiers and new re
, cruits, (and the whole army reinforced by scores'
of new regiments,) led on by McClellan, Pops,
Burnside,' Banks, Hooker, Kearney, and-Reno,•
will advance to and rout an insolent'
fee, who, in hope of insulting our com
mander-in- chief in his headquarters ‘ at Wash
ington once more, will find that he has
advanced .too far from-his base of supplies and
line of defence at' Richmond. In conclusion,
we would stir up our people to place the most ira
plioit confidence in our. Government and our lead
ers, crush treason at home, and enoourage enlist
ments, Let us rush to the resoue and partake of
the glory wow.
THE NEWS.
Another collision has . tak en plaoo between Go
vernment transports on the Chesapeake.' One of
the vessels, the steamboat Him , City, had on board
over eight hundred regular troops, on the way to
reinforce General Pope’s army, but fortunately ho
lives were lost.
, The despatches from Harrisburg, in to-day’s
paper, are important'. There will be no extension
of time for enlistmenta. Drafting will be resorted
to, positively, on the Ist proximo, if the quota is
not filled at that time by volunteers. The only
way, then; to surely esoape the draft, is to enlist
immediately. v*
From Havana and Mexioo we have late news—
from the latter to the Ist instant, and from the
former place to the 16th instant. Affairs in Mexioo
are still unsettled to a great extent,’but there , are
evidences of |a grand combination or union feeling
growing up among the Mexican people, and they
will oertainly make a strong effort to drive out the
Frwooh army of invasion,'if possible. . .
Froh the war correspondence of the New Fork
papers we are enabled to furnish a number of start
ling statements, exhibiting tho status of affairs in
the Army of Virginia. We do not suppose that ail,
of these arc true altogether, but they indicate the
oocurrenoe of movements of great importanoe with
in ten days past.
A hospital letter from Mrs. Senator Harlan, in

Douglas E'. Jbrbold, son of the celebrated
English author and wit, enlisted ’as a private in
Captain Hawkins’ oompahy, Porter’s Buffalo Regi
ment, on the Bth of August.- Mr. Jerrold is a gen
tleman of ability, inheriting ne small portion of his
father’s wit, and praseming a fine education. He
oooupied for five years a responsible position in the
British commissariat, which he resigned for the
purpose of taking up his abode in the United States.
Tax accounts of Great Britain show that in the .
financial year of 1861-2 the tax upon spirits pro

Pro* slavery papers throughout the .North
have bsen. highly jubilant over the recent dis
banding by General Hunter of his negro regiment
in Sooth Carolina, and have thereupon argued that
the black raoe are unfit for soldiers. We hare been :
requested to state that , the cause of .the dissolution
of the Ist Begiment South Carolina Colored Volun
teers was owing to the fact that the War Depart
ment refused to grant them rations, in accordance .
with the present policy of Mr. Lincoln against em
ploying negroes as combatants. They had previously
subsisted from the produoe of rebel plantations and !
other means unconnected with direct Government
supplies. As these became exhausted, the War
Department was applied to. Upon its refusal, com
pany after company was disohargad, while the resi
due subsisted by the fast failing prooess hitherto
adopted. At last a complete dissolution took place.

a small percentage, and speaks well for the health

Bbioadibr General Joseph P. Plumnkk died
at.ttorjnth, Mississippi, on Sunday morning, August
11, Cram congestion on the brain. Genial Plum
mer .was si. native of. Barre, Massachusetts, and was
born in 1820. In 1837 he entered Westjoiht Aca
demy, and was a'member of the 'same olaw with
Nathapiel Lybn, Sohuyler Hamilton, Jas. Totten,
Don darlos Bnell, and others who have become dis
tinguished in the war. .He entered the army and held
a oaptain'S'Oommission in Missourf/or many years.
He received the commission .of brigadier general
last winter, and at the time of Ms decease held a
command under General Roieorans. He btfd not
bet* in robust health for some time, but bad not
intermitted his duties!,in consequence. On the
evening of his death be rode from his headquarters
to those of his superior general, and finding him
absent had taken a seat to await his arrival. Heft
a sudden vertigo attacked him, and he almost im
mediately expired.
The expulsion of the newspaper correspondents
from our armies in Virginia, at the present time,
•will place the enterprising journals of America
in a very uncomfortable position. Hereafter,,
we shall; have to adopt the “ Old Dominion ”
policy of sending commissioners to reside near
toe field of active operations, and should our
troops gain a victory to • “ pop into the ring” and
obtain full par lonian. .V Should We be beaten they
will he instructed to retire early at night, after
taking regular meals, and act generally " as if they
bad just heard some good news,” in orderto pre
vent the rebels from fbtaining a knowledge of out
militaryfplans.
Beak- Admiral Gjsorsb Campbell Read died
at the Naval Asylum in West Philadelphia yester
day. Although not a .distinguished naval officer,
Admiral Read had served his country long and
faithfully, and at the time of bis decease was] on
duty as Governor of that exoellent institution, the
U. S. Naval Asylum, within the limits of this oity.
The unexpected arrived in our oity yesterday of
Col. " John K. Morphy, of the 29th Regiment, P.
V. created quite an excitement among our citi
zens, who' were' not glow in arranging a very
flattering reception for : him, although but a few
hours’ .notice of the important expebted arrival
was -given.- A complete- account of the proceed
ings, during the reception, will be found in our
'local columns.' - Colonel Murphy will return to his
regiment and assume command- after spending a
ten days’furlough in this oity.
. The fighting population of Rhode Island, as as
certained from the Isßt oensus, is 33.397 whites and
73S negroes. Governor Sprague oould not; there
fore, raise jin entire regimentof negroes if he tried,
unless he enlists men from other States. A number
of companies, from neighboring States, of colored
men; have ‘already tendered their services to Go
vernor Sprague, and it is believed will be accepted
by him.
W: P. ISHAM, the Memphis correspondent of the
Chicago Times, recently arrested by Gen. Grant, is
the man who circulated the report that ten iron
clad rams had arrived at Mobile from Ragland.
Isham pleads that he obtained the rumor from Se
cessionists,and gave his authority for the announce
ment at the time. -This correspondent is the author
of the only acoount of the battle of Shiloh that has
been published, and the account was copied by
hearty every American and English journal. In
this very foil and correct account of that bloody
affair, Ishain placed the blame of the surprise upon
Gen.- Grant, and the friends of the correspondent
assert that Gen. Grant, who is now commanding
our troops in the Western Department, has only ful
filled a former threat in arresting this young but
promising writer. ? ,
Wk learn from aiprivate and perfectly authentic
source; that a portion of the rebel forces have occu
pied General McClellan’s late entrenchments at
Harrison’s landingjiwhiob, of oourso, was to be an
ticipated. A large portion of our gunboat flotilla,
with the flagship, was at that date up
river, above Harrison’s Handing and bar. They
would probably give the rebels a taste of thoirqun
lity before they had been long in their new quarters.
The Advice of Mr. Seward.
There is so much good sense in what Secro
tary Seward wrote to Mr. Hughes that we
may be excused. another reference to
pecially jas many of the Breckinridge organs
are endeavoring to distort the language of the
Secretary into an endorsement of tho disloyal
ty of their organization. Those who; know
the Secretary of State will be surprised at such _
a construction as that placed upon his words
by those ingeniens journalists. Mr. Hughes
asks Secretary Sewabd “to put down the
demon of Abolitionism,” and tho - Secretary
replies: “ A nation, like an individual, can
only do one thiDg effectually at one time. .It
cannot wisely turn aside from the chase of the
fearful demon of Disunion to pursue any in
ferior demon, whether imaginary or real.”
Here we have the case presented very
plainly. There are no side issues in the
mind of the Secretary—no imaginary demons.
He sees that there is but one danger menacing
the Republic—a danger that is overshadowing
and all-powerful. It is not in the shape of a
lyceum-lecturer from New England, or an en
thusiastic divine from Brooklyn. It is armed
and blood-thirsty. It overruns Virginia, de
vastates {Kentucky, burns the ship on the sea
and the bam on the farm. Mr. Seward calls,
it “ the fearful demon of Disunion.” Mr.
Hughes calls it nothing more than “ a bold
and well-organised movement.”
The course of the true patriot is very plain.
There can be no mistaking the duty that falls
upon every man. We do not want any poli
tical organization—anything that looks to di
viding the public sentimeiit,; or demoralizing
the army in the field, or tho statesmen in au
thority. “I think,” saysfMr. Sjeward, “ that
the wrangles which occurred among the Cru
saders about their respective creeds, when
they sat down to the siege of Jerusalem, were
just as rational and just as wise as disputes
about Abolitionism would; now be in tho Army
of the JJotomac, in fronted Richmond.’’ Here
is a text for Mr. Hughes’ speech, to-day, in
Independence Square.- Let him tell his friends
to stop their wrangling, their small ambitions
for small places, their constant coldness, in
this loyal cause. Let him tell them that if
they are anxious to chase demons, there is
one now overshadowing the Potomac and,the
James, who< may be attacked with benefit to
the country! If he does this,. and in the right
spirit, his influence will go for good, and the
counsel of‘the Secretary of State will not.
have been given in vain. • ..
But we have-po such hope. We would as
soon look for roses in December, or ice in
June, as for any demonstration of unamended
loyalty from the gentlemen who follow Mr.
Hughes, and who are to be present in Inde
pendence Square this afternoon. They have
bad many glorious opportunities of show
ing their repentance,. if' not their. devo!
tion. They have neglected them all. When
ever the loyal have assembled together,
they have remained away. When loyal men
subscribe money ’for the sick and wounded,
or for bounties to recruits, they close their
pockets. When loyal men' are deploring
a disastertooTir arms,they‘rejoice and walk,
the streets with smiling faces. When loyal
men denounce treason and the rebel leaders, ’
they fill the air with insane and meaningless
cries about Abolitionism. It has been so al
ways—it will be so at the meeting to-day. If
we are disappointed we shall be glad, but we
think that the men who manage this Demo
cratic organization are far beneath profiting by
the admonition dr the counsel of the Secretary
of State.
Delaware. ...»
The political campaign in the State of Dela
ware has opened auspiciously for .the cause of 1:
the country.; The friends of fhSt Union, long
harassed and divided by .the. Secessionists,
came together on Tuesday last at Dover under
circumstances which promise an overwhelm
ing triumph for their candidates and princi
ples. The State Convention, composed of a
hundred and fiftjMlelegates, representing the
three counties of Newcastle, Kent, and
Sussex, after. a session of several hours,
during which they perfected a complete
organization of the State, nominated Wil
liam 1 CannOn, of Sussex county, for Go
vernor, and renominated Hon. Gborgb P.
Fishes, of Kent, for Congress. The presi
dent of the Convention was Charles I.
Dctont, Esq., of the great firm of powder
manufacturers, Dupont brothers, and hereto
fore an influential member of the Democratic
party. Mr. Gannon, the nominee for Go
vernor, supported BKEOKiNRinaE in 1860, and;
contributed greatly to the election of Mr.
Saulsbury to the United States Senate. Ho
has held various important positions,/and
is a citizen of general and deserved-popu
larity. When the rebellion broke, out he
ent loose indignantly from the Demooratic or
ganization, and denounced its leaders as sym
pathizers, if not' co-operators, with treason.
His nomination is not only an evidence of tbo
unity of the friends of the country in Delaware,
but a sure presage of success. Mr. Fisher was
made a candidate for Congress by acclama
tion—a just tribute -to his independence
in supporting the emancipation policy of the
President, and in voting for the abolition of
shivery in the District of Columbia. We
have not the slightest doubt that Cannon and
Fisheh will be elected by an overwhelming
majority, and their success would secure a
. thoroughly loyal United States Senator from
Delaware, and give.the State hereafter to the
true friends of- the Government. The ex
ample of "Delaware deserves to be imitated in
every-section of-the country. >
.-What .impressed us most, during: our late
visit to Dover, -was the presence of hundreds
of the lriends of ; Judge Douglas in 1860.
They are determined to oppose the Brock-,
inridgers, whether they are armed or unarm
ed, whether they live in the loyal or disloyal
and they were even more delighted
with the nomination of Mr. Cannon for Go
vernor’than if they had agreed with him
afew years ago. Bis repudiation of his late
associates was alike a proof of his own in
tegrity, and of the justice of their cause.
Death of Admiral Read.
The country will bo startled and pained. at
tho announcement of tho death of Roar Ad
miral George Campbell Rea®, wta> died, at
the naval asylum in this city yesterday morn
ing. Although retired for years, by reason of
his advanced age, from the active service of
his country, and without any prominent £con
nection-with the grand historic events thatoxe
now being enacted by the naval power, This
name has nevertheless been too intimately as
sociated with mueh that is glorious in its past
history ev.fir to be forgotten. V
Admiral JElea» was .a native of Ireland,
and : entered-. the navy on the 2i day* bf
April; 1804. For upwards of fifty-eight
years, his name'and fame and' aspira
tions had, therefore, been identified with
its progress and achievements. In that ever
memorable action between the United States
frigate Constitution, and the British ’frigate
Guerriere, Ms gallantry was too* conspicuous
to escape honorable recognition, and lie was;
designated by Cqmmodoro Hull to receive
the sword surrendered by Dacres. In torther
consideration of his many was
promoted on the first of the present month to
tho rank of rear admiral. He was, therefore,
with the exception of Commodore Charles
Stewart, (also of Pennsylvania;) the oldest’
officer in the United States navy.
Admiral Read was a brave and gallant of- <
ficer, and an accomplished, courteous gentle
man. His name will bo enduring, and his
loss be long regretted. Although on the re
tired list, his death will deprive the Govern
ment of a faithful and useful officer, whose,
faculties and energies, scarcely impaired by
age, were wholly devoted to its hesWnterests,
until the seal of death had closed his earthly
career. The only foreigner on our list of Ad
mirals, he had become, by predilection and
adoption, a citizen of the Union, and the/
Union will mourn him as another of its « faith
ful servants” departed..
The sudden death of the Hon. Jomr La
porte, of Bradford county, in this State, will
occasion much grief among his largo circle
of friends. He foil in Chestnut 'street, yes
terday, and was lifeless before bis physician,
Dr, Darraoh, arrived; Few men have lived
more honorably and blamelessly than Johh
Laporte. Born in one of' the northern coun
ties of the State, he has been identified, from
bis boyhood, with the progress-and pros
perity of Pennsylvania. He served in -the
State Legislature and in the Congress of the
United States, was an associate judge for. a
long period-'m his Own county," and was Sur
veyor: General during the honest and coura
geous State of Gov. Siccsiri
Judge! Laporte was about seventy years of
age when he. died. Irrall this long period he
secured the confidence and love of the com
munity by his upright conduct as a citizen, his
moral intrepidity as a public man, his patriot
ism, and his strict regard for the truth. In
his decease the State loses one of her best
aid most trustworthy sons.
The Free States.
Although many families in the free States
are mourning oyer the loss of their cherished,
idols, the condition of these-States themselves
presents a most gratifying prospect when con
trasted with the condition of all the seceded
and most of the Bordet' States./ There is an'
abundance of everything—plenty to eat; plenty
to wear, and plenty of .well-paid "employment
in-the free Slates. Nc/classes feel the war
severely but those who have lost their friends
in battle - and those who’ own' large estates.
Shall this’comfort, and content—this pros
perity and peace—be destroyed? Such a
catastrophe esun only happen if the plots and
counterplots of the sympathizers with Seces
sion are permitted to triumph. Who would -
envy the; inhumanity and baseness of men
who, not content with wishing God speed to
the rebels;, toil incessantly to reduce the free
States' to the miserable condition'of tho re
bellious, devastated, starving, and bankrupt
South ? ’
LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.”
Washington, August 22, 1862.
The sympathizers with treason are begin
ning to proceed from words to Glows. It is
believed that they only wait tlic opportunity
to drop"their threats and take up arms. The
late firing of the bridges in Ohio was un
doubtedly the work of these degraded and dis
loyal men. Let us not regret that they are
showing their sincerity after this fashion. It '
is worthy of them and admonitory to' us.
There is, besides, a-harmony in it which shows’
that there can be consistency even in sconn- ,
drelism. If the citizen of a free State is op
posed to the Republic and in accordance with
tlie rebels, why shouldhe not strike as well as
speak for his conscientious belief ? If he causae
the sufferings of the XJnion soldiers without a
pang, why should he not add to the number of
these sufferers ? Dr. Olds, of Ohio, did not
; invoke the“ Democrats ”to riot and “ blood- ;
shed” in amere rhetorical phrenzy; ho uttered
the sage counsel in the _earnest expectation
that it would bo followed.. . Let- Stonewall
Jackson take heart; All the people of the
loyal States are not loyal. There are some,
and these not a few, who would welcome his •
advance into these States. - Craftily and ably
are they preparing for his advent, or else for
the ascendency of the Rebellion. They are
; resolved to keep their records clean of- any :
blot or stain. - Every act they perform that
may savor of a tribute to the Union is quali
fied with' abuse of the Government. Every
secret word is a secret prayer for the Con
federacy. It public opinion forces them to
denounce that sublime achievement, they do- -
bounce the Abolitionists still more. As they ;
cannot openly organize for the rebellion, they
can organize the “Democratic party.” As
they cannot vote for Davis,-they -can vote -
against Lincoln.. You. get no money from
them for the Union cause, or for the relief of
the Union soldiers—not afarthing., And woe
upon the timid sympathizer who is cowed
into a subscription! He is shunned by his
associates as a felon; classed with the Aboli
tionists; and" abused for giving money to
assist in this Abolition war. Look at the long
lists ' of the names of those who have given
■to these noble objects, and the name of a sym
pathizer is as rare as the name of a British
nobleman. How well.this comparison holds
out in another respect! With very few excep
tions,- and these mainly among those who,' by
going into the war, have shown their regret
for having been associated with .these danger
ous politicians, ,the men;who supported all the
atrocities 'and rascalities of the slaveholders
and their tools under Buchanan, are now
everywhere prominent in sympathizing with
the rebellion and in opposiug the war. They
have neither • been ! tempted - nor intimidated
, into sympathy for the Republic; and there is
no shadow of doubt that when the occasion is
offered, they will follow their opinions to’the
bloodiest extremities. I do not charge Mr.
Hughes with-intending this sort of vengeance
upon his country; but we must not forget that
General Breckinridge was equally pathetic in
his .appeals for,the Constitution, and no less
pathetic as to the future, before his disaffec
tion—so fragrant of Democracy in the blos
som, ripened into the putrid fruit of treason
. and of war. Breckinridge was exceeding
boisterous inihis patriotism when told that he
would end in the ranks of the traitors; and
Hughes is as industrious in proving his loyalty
as he is honest in entertaining sentiments ex
actly the reverse. It will be a' great piece of
good fortune for Mr. Hughes if the rebellion
abould;triuinph.' In that event, all his present
labors will be richly and gratefully remember
ed and repaid, and he can shale with the
Brigadier the honor of Laving assisted to be
: tray destroy his country.

WAY TO ESCAPE THE DRAFT. „. .
Hahuibbui’.g, August 22.—Applications for an exten

new regiments may be completed, are pouring in upon
the Governor and Adjutant* General Russell. We are
assured that a compliance with these requests is Biinply
impossible, as tho War®* Department has positively
declined to ..extend tho time. * Measures will imme
diately be taken to consolidate all the regiments that are
now incomplete. To join the old regiments and secure
the premium, advanced pay,, and bounty, is now the
only opportunity left fori those averse to a draft. A
large number will probably he eurollod'ior those orgaui

ever accorded to any one in this city.
The formal reception by the authorities took place in.
Castle Garden. ... ”
.Mayor Opdyke made a Bpecoh of welcome, to which
.General Cot coran replied in fitting terms.
The papular greeting was marked with an enthusiasm
sddom witnessed anywhere. Tho crowd that gathered
around Corcoran’s carriage was such that it was with
difficulty dragged up,Broadway.
- Throughout the entire route of the procession the jam
of the. populace was immense. The military display was
. excellent considering that tho greater part of, our,militia
is at the seat of . war. 1
Thecharitable societies turned out in large numbers,
and the firemen really looked magnificent, numbering,"
perhaps, 5,000 men.
As the procession passed the New England rooms a ga
lute was fired-from a four-poundor on the roof'of the
building. The oration continued until the procession
reached the General’s quarters, at the St. Nicholas.

Mujtaby Affairs—An Irish Regi
ment FOB cot. OOBOOBAN’S BBIGAD*.—The
WarDepertment appears to'entertain an appreciation
of Ithe .difficnitles bo long experienced .by reorulting
officere'for the regiments in tbs Add, and has very judi
; cihndy ordered that all recrnits for the . old organiza
tions shall go intocamp In the vicinity ef the city,
linefeed of being repaired to travel to Harrisburg for
that purpose. Official intimation has teen given that a
. mastering officer and disbursing agent.; (001. Bad) ir>
located in Philadelphia. All recruits, upon being mas
tered into (he service, will bo paid immediately, the ■:
Government bounty of $26, the bounty of 850, and the:
premium of 86 awarded by the Citizens’ Oommitlee.
No more delays will now take placejand the recrnit
joining a regiment in the field may rely "upon receiving
theentireamonnt ot bounty Immediately upon being in
.spected,and mustered into the service, and before leaving
the city. In regard to barracks, Col. Bulf haa assigned
First Lieutenants O. B. Griffiths, «f the 31st Regiment,
and JobnS. Biebl, of the 26th Begiment, to the com
mand of the Becruit'S Barracks in Philadelphia. The
facility thus afforded recruiting officers will/place all
alike upon an equal platform, and the inducements of
fered to recruit for theold regiments will have a tenden
cy to create a -decided preference for enlisting in their
ranks.' The immediate payment of 881' will sechre'to
those who desire to leave money for the support of their
families a sufficient amount &r that purpose., . .
- The' practice of organising regiments in onr city,
while, at the same time, those already, in process of form
ation are scarcely mora than,half made up, is,certainly
not deserving of commendation. Probably six thousand
effective men have enlisted In the dozen different brganl-l
zatione now reciulting In our midst, yet many of these
regiments require to be joined together, br merged into
others, before they can be efficiently and thoroughly or
ganized. This defect, however, will be remedied to eoms
extent by the anticipated action of the Government, fore
shadowed in tbo general order relative to this subject.
To-day being the time appointed at which the Go
vernment bounty and othor pay is to be withdrawn, the
consequence will be the rapid re-formation of ail regi
ments, not now filled up, to the'requisite standard, and
thedkeharge of superfluous officers.
Colonel A G. Ohornan, late of tho Bth Pennsylvania.
Cavalry, has obtained the consent of tho Becretary of
war to raise a regiment of Mounted Bangers, and whlsn
the authority of the Governor is obtained it is expected,
-that a regiment of picked men will,.in a short time, be
ready to act against the guerillas of the West. .Though
a regiment of this charaoter would be rather, expensive '
to the Government, its effectiveness for the basiness of
ferreting out and punishing the land; pirates of certain
sections cannot Ue denied. The expiration of the time
allotted by the Government for the raising and /comple
tion of new regiments under the. late requisition oreateß;
quite a flutter among officers whose commands have not
reached the minimum standard. To day, the process of
consolidating the different regiments will, dou.btleßS.-ba_.
commenced- _•—
~ Colonel Wister’s seocnd regiment, Bucktaii Brigade,

In accordance .with the repeated desire of General
Corcoran, that at least one regiment of his fellow-coun
trymen might be taken from Philadelphia; to form a part
of the new Irish Brigade, Colonel George: Crooks, of the
regiment known as theßrian Borolhme United Irish
Legion;” bag petitioned Governor Curtin for authority to
complete the forms tion. of his command;, with power,
when completed, to be attached to the brigade of General
Corcoran. :
The reply of the : Executive will be given to-day, and
if favorable, we presume there will not be the slightest
difficulty in" augmenting the numbers of the regiment to
the reQuired standard within one week. The eloquence
and touching appeals of . the brave Corcoran have
awakened an enthus aim in the hearts of his countrymen
which has rarely; been paralleled. l Under such a leader
Irishmen are proud to march, and judging from the signs
of the times, the followers of the gallant General will
neither he few nor far between. . ; <:

experience, having held jthd position of regimental ser
geant in the service of H. B, M. .Though not thoroughly

At every poinf along the route towarils-the Kensington 1
depot - the greatest;..enthusiasm prevailed. The, train,
moved off amid long-continued cheering; : 1 "
.General Corcoran, previous to leaving, had hig shoul
der-straps changedircm the .eagle -of a colonel to the
star ofa brigadier! ‘Four,military gentlamen'otthis city*
have < fibred; each toriraise ; a Philadelphia regiment for
the new Irish .brigade to be.raised by Corcoran. Thus
far, but one is accepted, 1 that of Colonel Heenan, which
is the 116!h.Peinsylyania. Shortly before bis departure
from the hotel, the following answer to a despatch was
received: - •
. Harrisburg, August 22,1862.
To General Jit. Corcoran; : ,
It will afford me great pleasure to have , the regiment
raised by Colonel Heenan placed' under your command;
I have no power over .onr troops after they leave the
State, and application must be made at Washington tb’
brigade regiments. - A.-G. OUBTIN.
.. Becruiting for Col. Ileonan’s Begiment will thns re
ceive a new impetus, and it is.confidently believed that
before a week it will become necessary to refiisa applica
tions to join the regiment.:' .General Corcoran expressed ’
himielfag being highly pleased at the turnout of the
military Thursday, 1 and assured Ool; Heenan of the gra

. The committee bf’Couhcils having in’’charge the re
ception and entertainment of .General:’ Corcoran per
formed their duty nobly. We are greatly, indebted to
Thomas J. Barger,' Esd., one of the ’oommittee, for
many facilities shown ■ ua in the performance of our
duties. The: Police Department, under Chief Buggies,
was,’as usual, : managed with abtlity; and the whole affair
passed off pleasantly, and la one that will, too doubt, long
be remembered by the General.
' ’ Mr. ‘ George W. Childs, 1 book-publisher, of this city,
has efiectedan’ arrangement with General Corcoran for a
volume narrating 'his prison experiences. ' Tho arrange

BECRumNO. —The military fever du-.
ring yesterday was at a decided low ebb, and some of the
recruiting stations had alt the appearance of « banquet
halls deserted.” The stimulant of the (trait—thy dernier
to be the only effectual remedy for ! this:
slate of things and the only course likely to produce a
ready response to the requisition of the Government.
With to-day expires: the.limit fixed for the payment of
bounties, end, as’a natural consequence, the rush to-tha
recruiting stations will not by any means be%s formida
ble as heretofore. ~
notwithstanding this, several regiments vet incomplete
will continue the work of recruiting, though the with
drawal of the Government bounty will have a depressing
influence upon enlistments. Many of our Irish fellow
citizens heartily desire to enroll themselves uniter the
leadership of the gallant Corcoran, and an Irish regi
ment, to be attached to'the brigade of that general, is
now organizing. Other regiments of a similar character
may soon be started in our city.
The report, of.the mustering officer (001. Buff) gives
the following as the number of recruits mustered into
service, in the various regiments, yesterday: ,

Abmy Clothing and Equipage.—-
With twelve hundred thousand men in the field—there
soon will be—the Chief of the Department of ClothtDK
end Equipage should beaman of great experience and
execntivo ability, united to Bincere patriotfem.and ster
ling integrity. He should be one who has seen service in
the camp and field; oho who is 'thoroughly acghaiiitel
with ail the wants and pri ration of a soldier’s life, and
wbo foiowj how, by kindly anticipation, to prevent need
less suffering. ■
No soldier of tbe Eepnbiic should ever be compelled to
want for any.article necessary to bis health orfcemfort.
He who voluntarily goes-forth to sustain the nation by
all his individual strength and influence has a right to:
expect and demand that: ail needed supplies shall he
promptly furnished to him. Ho asks not for luxuries,
for hedoee not want them; but he demands, as a repie-'
sentative of the nation's honor, and one of her champions
in-a righteous cause, that.healthy food and comfortable
clothing shall not be withheld from him for a moment.-
In the hour of misapplied need, his experience makes
no account of the high price of cotton, er wool,V;or
leather, or tin. He takes no note of contractors* delays,
• bnt the/net that lie wants a Bhirt, or coat, or blanket, or
shoes, or canteen, and that they are hot forthcoming, is
to him the evidence of. großs neglect somewhere.
Ho extenuation will avail when an army is kept waiting
for days, threatened in front, and: flank, and rear ; that
everything halts forwent of a few wagons, or a few tonß
of coal to fire up a transport. The emergency- itself is
the greatest rebuke that can be administered to thorn
high in authority for their want of foresight and mis
management. :■
In the past there haye been many evidences of neglect,
carelessness, and incompetency, but charity- excases
much that haß been wrong on the of unprece
dented demand and temporary inability to supply that
demand. But'now, surely the exigencies of the Gover
nment service will no longer endure such an excuse. With'
the experience of more than a year’s war, the wants of
an army, multitudinous though they be, should he:
thoroughly comprehended, and abandanb’provision be
made Three hundred thotzsahd men have been’
called*for at (nice; three hundred thousand more
will he drafted* on the 3d September, and two huu- ,
dred' thousand fh addition will be wanted to fill up
the regiments now in the field. Within the next
sixty days' all these .eight hundred thousand men
mnßt be' supplied with, every article on the supply
table of f the quartermaster’s department. Will it
be done ? : Ten precious days are lost how in waiting for
proposals to be made, and bids to be opened. The goods to
make many of the articles are already nearly exhausted,
and the shuttles that produced them are silent. Directly,
the unemployed artißans who fabricated.them will be
drafted for active seivice elsewhere than at the loom, or
anvil, or workshop. Why not immediately set at work
the spindles, shuttles, and looms,'which produce blankets,
casaimeres, and kerseys, tent duck, drilling, and flannelsl
Why should men and women stand all the day idle when
present industry might avert future want ?
, The chief of the department in thia city, who is ex
pected to furnish the most of the war supplies, possesses
business ability and executive talent of the highest order.
As quartermaster en General Taylor’s staff, throughout
the Mexican war, and afterwards on the frontiers and
plains of Utah, (exiled thereby J. B. Floyd, because he
was too honest and devoted to the Union), OoL Crosman
gained in active service such knowledge as eminently
fitehimfcr the highest position in the department But
if hia knowledge, experience and judgment are to be
cramped and nullified by limited instructions, there will
soon bopressingnecessity for repeating of
last year, and compelling him to take the articles wanted,
in deficient quantity, of inferior quality, at high prices,
and deliverable at the convenience’of the seller. '
Theintelligent merchant would not :so cond act his bu
siness, but by availing trims* If of honesty and integrity,
.high honor and just dealing, wherever he found these
qualities, he would make the market his servant instead
of bis master, and through fair competition wisely pro
v#e for the hour of need.
Returned Home.— Lieutenant W. T.
Baum, of - this city, has just returned from.aJoug con
finement in the dungeons or the South:' Although: he has
auffered niany privations, he iB in good health and spi
rits,;and,like other returned prisoners, is impressed with
the -dt epest conviction that the war must be pushed on
with vigor; . Lieut.' Baum left the city in; Col. Small’s
regiment, but was promoted. At the time pf his capture
he was acting as ordnance officer on the staff of Brig.
General Hooker. He was with Colonel Core->ran at Sa
lisbury, N. 0., and he speaks of him in the kindest terms.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET.
PniLADELriiiA, August 22,1862.
The uncertain position of General MoClellan’a army,
andrnmsrsof GeneralPope.havingfallen back, had a
very depressing effect on the stock market ; this morning,
with a very general disposition to hold off for more'reli
able information. Late in the afternoon, news was re
ceived of the junction ofjtbe three grand divisions, under
Genorals McOlellan, Pope, and Burnside, in: the neigh
borhood of Aqnla creek, imparted a better feeling, and
:we may look for a general advance in prices to-morrow.
United States coupon sixes were steady at 101 bid and
and lOOtf asked. . The 7.30 loan brought 100&. City
Loanß sold at 102 for the new, and 01% for the old is
sues. State loans were rather weak. In the better claas
of railroad shares and bonds there was very little change.
The second mortgage bonds of the Pennsylvania Rail
road continue to be sought after at 100J^, but the bonds
of the North Pennsylvania Railroad ware quotably
lower. AU the fancies on the list were weak, and to ef
fect sales to : any extent lower figure® wonld have to be
accepted. Beading Railroad declined %; North Porni
-sylvanie Railroad' ?f, and Snsqnetianna Canal No
change) in bank Bhares. Passenger railway seauritieß
were comparatlvoly steady. Thore was no Second and
Third Streets offered under 79, and the enormous patron-,
age of' the road would seem to warrant a attll higher
figure. Race and Tine Streets sold at 10?;; 31 was bid
for:Tenth and Eleventh Streets; 33 for Green and Ooates
Streets ; 23?; for Girard College; 12?; for Spruce and
Pino Streets,' and 03 for West Philadelphia.
The market for gold was considerably excited to day,
opening at 15jf and selling up to 16; afterwards'falling,
off and closing at 15, at whioh price it is in demand.
Old demand notes are etill in active demand, with an
advancing tendency, There are very few in circulation;
large amounts have accumulated with the banks, brokers,
and importers, who expect to realize a handsome profit
by holding them.

This Summer.—
The Bummer wears her coronal
As proudly as before;
God’s gifts ot beauty to the earth
Are lavish as of yore;
Tot never radiant summer days
Were half so sad and long;
. ; A mournful.music fills onr souls,
A dirge, but not a song.
For low, on yonder fields of blood,
How many, a friend is lying;
For truth and right they bravely stood,
And sealed it with their dying,
r We think of that dear Flag of Stars,
Borne down in battle’s tide;
Our shattered Union bows herhead,'
While.hostile bands decide.

BY TUB BARD OF TOWER HAIL.
Thirteen months that patriot true
In a felon’s prison lay, .
While Rebellion’s haughty crew
Mocked Ms sufferings day by day.
But his spirit, unsubdued,
Firmly its probation bore,
While ?rith generous scorn he viewed
All who Treasen’s livery wore.
In his lone and dismal cell
AU their hatred he defied.
And their inßolence could quell
With the patriot’s noble pride.
Well be knew the time must com*
When hia wrongs will find redress.
When the lords of Gottondom
Will not scorn him or oppress;
Bnt in terror from him fly
And like frightenedreptiles hMe;
By the lightning of his eye
Blasted in their despot pride.
He is free 1 andsoon in arms
Will appear on rebel ground;
Notes of grief and wild alarms
Let the boils of Richmond sound. :

Diseases of the Skin.—Though the
remote or primary causes of Shin Diseases may be vari
ous, as Impurity of the Blood, Bivor Oomplaint, Scrofula,
Ac, Ac., yet the immediate cause is always the same,
and that is an obstruction in the cores of the shin, by
which the 'perspiration, in its passage Bom the body, i»
arreeted and confined in and under, the Skin, causing an
intolerable 'Itching, or an eruption of Pimples, Pustules,
Blngworm, Tetter, Salt Bheum. Ac , Ac.
