We maintain that they have done much •to fulfil their promises and threats that they would visit summary ven• geanoe upon our large Northern cities ; but much remains to be done before their designs can be executed. They have concentrated a largo army in Virgins, heedless of our paralyzed sea (neat and river expeditions, crippling MoClel lan on the Peninsula, and driving Popo back from the Rapidan to the Potomac. In Kentucky they have routed Nelson, and driven Gilbert and others back to Frantfort, and they are stilt advancing towards the .Ohio river, either upon Cin cinnati or Louisville. Besides this, we have a report, which seems to be substantially correct, that Stonewall Jackson is moving up the Valley of the Shenandoah with a large army, as if .to attempt a crossing of the Potomac near that point. Now, what have we done to repel these would•bo invaders ? Really nothing in Kentucky. There the future is surely big with events. In Virginia, four Bei erste attempts have been made to 'turn our right, move towards Leesburg, and cross the river at Edward's' Ferry. On Mon day last the rebels made the fourth attempt, and succeeded finally, although their success was owing more to a thunder-storm than any sublime strategy or hard fighting exhibited by them. In these movements the rebels have sus tained a tremendous loss—double ours—which is arge, being estimated at 11,000. Should the enemy enter Maryland in force we shall be finked at Washington, and hence the necersityof concentrating troops at Baltimore and the Relay House, while our grand armies are being withdrawn to the north side of the Potomac. While this is necessary, we should not fail to harass the enemy by attacks upon his rear with an effective army operating in Virginia, and especi al' we should make bold endeavors to cat offtts communication and supplies. There is no use of talking any more about." drawing the enemy on, or out." He is quite near enough, and smells badly already. Let us repel " invasion," if people like that name-; but, in doing so, let us send the enemy back weakened greatly at each step. Now, at least, we should cry, " On to Richmond !" THE NEWS. Tail foreign news whioh we present to-day is un roportant. Garibaldi is somewhat quiet," while or ganizing his army. When this is completed he will be heard from again. We publish some Into restiog extracts from our leading English exchanges, giving the views of intelligent foreigners upon Ame rican affairs, in lien of stirring news. FROM New Orleans we have the order of Gena ral Butler ordering the enro lment of the free negroes of Louisiana for military service in de fence of that city. They are to be Icnown as the " Native Guards." General Butler has decided at last to " use all means to crush." Urox our first page will be found a complete summary of the news and rumors published in the leading papers of the country from the Army of Virginia. Our special deapatohea contain the latest and most reliable aceoucts of recent movements, as usual. FROM our Western exchanges we have prepared full details of the movements of the rebels in Ken tuoky, and the panics caused by these rapid movements in the cities of Cincinnati and Louis ville. Tux capture of the noted rebel guerilla leader Poindexter is announced from St. Joseph, Missouri. By this capture a very wicked robber and mur derer, but a man of some genius, is secured from milking any further depredations. AMONG the. killed in Monday's fight, near Pair-. fax Court House; was Major Henry A. Prink, of the 11th Pennsylvania Regiment. This was a three months regiment, and, having recruited for the three-years service, it was allowed to retain its old number. Major Prink was, for a short time pre vious to the war, a resident of Germantown. From 1858 to 1860 be resided at Williamsport, Lyoorning county, acting in the capacity of principal assistant engineer on the Sunbury and Erie Railroad for the eastern division. He was a brave soldier, and an ednoated, accomplished gentleman, and his untimely fall will be mourned by every one who knew him. He was about.. 32 years old. , The Duty and the Peril We take ground with 'Mr. WINTHROP, a Massachusetts statesman, who opposed Mr. Lmootai's election, that at this time there can be no difference of opinion; there must be nothing but a universal confidence in the Administration, in the Government which it represents, in its agents and servants. "I trust the President," says Mr. Wisreaop, "I trust his Cabinet, I trust lifcCiamtkw, I trust SIGRL, I trust Berms. I trust thom all." We must have faith if we would be saved. This is the injunction that comes to us from every portion of the ciiiiittim from every field of battle, from every loyal and suffering heart. What is demanded by the hour and its responsibilities is a calm, courageous, and constant adherence to our country. We have had enough of hesita tion and doubt, too much of tardy acquies cence and lingering enmity. We do not know what a true union of heart and senti ment means. We discuss present dangers as abstract questions of cause and proba bility. When the skies are bright we doubt and cavil ; when clouds come over them we weep, despair, and wring our hands. Whatever may have been in the past— andwith that we have nothing now to do—the present is full of danger and terror. Wherever we look we find the prospect one of gloom. It may be temporary, but, nevertheless, it is upon ns with appalling earnestness. It is hardly pro bable that it can last long; but the conse quences it brings may last forever. In Virginia we see our army gradually falling back,until now it may be almost said to be under the guile' of Washington. In Kentucky a great, hungry rebel army is within a day's march of the rich and populous districts of Southern Ohio, and; as cc Occasional" intimates in hie lett'er of to. the guns of Kraal . Satan and Joan O. BREOHINRIDOE may very soon he placed in position on the banks of the Ohloriver. The army of General GRANT is busilyemployed in repressing guerilla raids in Tennessee, while CURTIS is lying on the banks of the Mississippi under our gunboats, after having retreated through Arkansas before a large rebel force. In the meantime, the rebel Congress is enact ing defiant lawn, and declaring the legitimate 'duties of the Union soldiers to be acts of felony. The rebel agents are again importuning England and Prance for recognition, and lead ing rebel generals demand the destruction of Washington as a just act of vengeance. This is the peril of the hour, and its, duty is a plain one. We must rise to,renewed exertions in behalf of the corintry; and, more than all, we must repress and crush every feeling that seems to indicate opposition to the Government or an embarrassment of its legitimate operations. Why should we assail the President'? In what way does he fail to do his duty f' Isle not honest and capable? Has he not labored from the beginning to so direct the etthlties of the North that the re bellion may be crushed ? His feelings as a man and a citizen, his ambition as a public ruler, or, what is more, his natural desire that men should honor him when he is gone— all prompt him to • the just performance- of his duties, and forbid any of 'the aspersions that axe cast upon his motives and his deeds. Why should we assail the gene rats in :Malicia ? It may be said that they lao4l2ere . aii4 eliewhere; that their victories have not been as decisive as a jealous and' anxious' country expected; that many of them cling to •the memories and associations of other days, and fight regretfully with their former camp associates and companions-in arms. Yet they risk their lives for us, and if we calmly look over the record which these past two years have written we shall find in the valor of the American alicers, their de votion to .their soldiers and their flag , their COUrage and intrepidity, much that is noble and grand. Over these s men there is a power to, which they aro responsible, and which examines every action with a jealous eye. It gives them their military being and takes it away. It has exercised this duty candidly and severely, and we should trust its judgment in the future. Let us be united In heart and soul. The time may come when with shovel and axe we shall be compelled to dig ditches around Fairinount and Gray's Ferry, just as our friends in Cincinnati are digging ditches to day. God' forbid that this should come to rasa, but while we utter the prayer lot us remember that the danger is nearer Fairmount and Gray's. Ferry than we•.liapiiose. Phila delphia will never , be sate 'utitll..l . 4chniond is taken. So long as we permit *rebel army in Virginia we are not secure'. trim its raids. We are now a Border State. - happily, we have not fel tthe furrowing heel of war channel ing our fields, but we do not know when the crimson tido may come down from the moun tains of upper Virginia and roll into Penn sylvania'. To an army which is starving and suffering for Want of apparel there is a strong attraction in'such States as Pennsylvania and Ohio. As yet, no rebel flag has ever floated over free soil, nor has the foot of a rebel sol dier pressed it, except as a prisoner. ,We have kept the war whore it first originated, and all its horrors have been felt by those who brought them into being. This has been a proud boast, and it would be both humilia ting and shameful if the haughty Southern foe was permitted thus to dishonor our free homes. ' There is, no doubt," says the London Times, cc something sublime in the spectacle of a nation so fervently wedded to one idea that everything else this world can give seems trivial and insignihcant." Let us justify the reluctant compliment of this unfriendly news paper—and let our devotion to this one idea be really so fervent that all things else become not only trivial and insignificant, but are sacri ficed. If we would avert the great sacrifices that may be asked, let us be magnanimous and self-denying. Let us demand that there be but' one sentiment, one religion, -one creed, one faith, one idea, and that embodied •in our country. Let there be no con cession to any fals4 ideas_ of sympathy for those in arms against us. Let every pulpit be silenced that does not make this duty as sa cred as the duty of Christrian faith and obedience. Let •us trammel every news paper that would sacTifice the country to politics or partisanship. Let every sympa thizer be silenced and rebuked. Nay, more : lot us even demand that the political Conventions which have just adjourned sh .uld meet again, and, by rejecting all unworthy men and abandoning all unworthy principles, give us a ticket which shall know no oppo- . sition and bring no distracting issues into the ballot-box. Let us do this faithfully,.firmly, and conscientiously. Then will the peril of the hour pass away and its duty be justly, per formed. The Enrollment The enrollment for the draft develops some curious and important facts, and if the draft should never be made, we should never grum ble at contributing our share of the expenses incurred by the deputy marshals in making the enrollment canvass, for it will be seen that the table of returns, which we publish to-day, shows precisely how many . men in the city of Philadelphia loved their country well enough to hazard their lives for its salvation in volunteering in our armies. The returns show that the city of Philadelphia has sent to the war 19,223 of her sons to battle for the Union; exclusive of near ly 4,000 others who are serving in regi ments from New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and other States. How many more may be serving their country in the regular army, in the navy and marine corps, we cannot stop to note now. • These are interesting facts—facts that we may be proud of—but kow t happens it that there is such a disparity. in the number of persons enrolled in the different wards? In the Fourth ward of this city, we find that 667 men have enlisted, and but 3,267 names have been enrolled, whilst 'in the Nineteenth ward 1,184 men have enlisted, and 6,362 have been enrolled.. A similar singular disparity is no ticeablein the returns from other wards, but we drop the subject with a reference to the table in our local columns. LETTER FROM "-OCCASIONAL." WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 1862. The capture of Washington by the rebels .would probably enable them to dictate terms to the regular Government of the United States. They knew the cost of the venture when they made it, and they are risking all upon it. They are also fighting for the shadow of foreign recognition. These temptations have stimulated them in all their late move. ments, as well in this important department as on the other military theatres. Although the Federal capital is to-day more impregnable than it has over been, its seizure by the traitors would make it one vast ruin, and would con vert every loyal, and every one who is a half loyal man to-day in the free State into a fierce and fanatical soldier. Yon, of Philadelphia and New York, would then\begin to realize the horrors which have so long been familiar to the deluded people of the South. Your idle - men about town would find new opportu nity to consume their leisure. Your stores and places of amusement would be closed, and every interest and avocation would be ab sorbed by and enlisted in the great warlike duties of the hour. It is this spirit, coupled with the desperation that springs from slavery, and with the earnest longing for foreign aid, that has enabled the rebels against the United States to conduct so fearful a war upon its authority. With them the war has been a reality ; with us a pastime. They put their substance into the fight at once ; we only those who hive gone forward for occupation, or voluntepred from patriotism: They have put nearly their whole fortune_ upon a single card; we risking a moiety of our opulence, trusting to the comfortable theory that vic tory must be ours, because they were eight and we twenty millions. The hour of service and of sacrifice is coming, to every man and every woman in the loyal States of the United States. I 'disdain the taunt that I may be writing as an alarmist. I am not. Seventeen' months ago, when, in these yen , letters, I called upon the civil authorities of Pennsyl -vania to put the State in a condition of mlll tary preparation, I was so accused. And yet, though my tone was changed in deference to this opinion, even then the traitors were orga nizing for the results over which they are now rejoicing. Cincinnati was as comfortable and complacent as Philadelphia three weeki ago, and yet, to-day, she is vigilantly awaiting an attack from the rebels. Her men of peace are now men of war; her politicians, pa triots; her candidates for 'office, in the ranks of the army. Pennsylvania is, in fact, nearer to the most formidable army of the rebellion than Ohio, and with no such ,di : viding line as the Ohio river. Covingeon; posite Cincinnati, commanded by the batteries of Kirby, Smith and John C. Breckinridge, ;might fall, but 'how long would Pranklink York, or Adams counties be able to bold out against • the .advancing hordes of Stonewall , Jackson, with no intervening river to protect them The people of the free States must be accus tomed to war. The men who have discussed .among themselves the .possibility of avoiding a draft moat volunteer. Our gentlemen must abandon the practice of invoking the workmen to go into the, army. Among the very first to encounter the. hazards of the battle in the Sputh were the politicians; and if you road over the lists of killed and wonnded,.you will find that those who advised Secession and advocated Disunion, fought and bled and died for both. It is very' true, that in the slave States the desperation of the Secession cause forced the party loaders tolake the lead; but we of the free States must borrow something from this example, in order to. secure the vic tory we deserve. The peril of Washington— even the loss of Washington—may be the greatest blessing of the 4merican people, and the salva :ton of the .Reptsblie. It cannot give, for we have them now, courageous columns and a self sacrificing people; but it may create great military genius, and contribute to the dovern ment chieftains who will fight for the Govern ment, because *they believe in it and would die for it.

Army Train of One Hundred Wagons Cap tared by the Rebels glpeciel Despatch to The Press.] WASHINGTON, :Sept. 3, 1862. I have just had a conversation with Adjutant QUidno, of the 49th Georgia, Volunteers, who is a native of Poland, and an intelligent man, and was rather more oommunioative than most of the pri soners recently oaptured in Virginia. He was taken, with nineteen others of his regi ment, listtight, within a mile of Fairfax Court House, while stationing pickets during a violent storm of wind and rain, and, through the darkness, accidentally wandered into our lines, where they were suddenly surrounded and captured by our troops. ' • A Shoeless Set. .But two out of the nineteen rebels taken ,bad ilium upon their feet, seventeen of them having marched for three days with their feet tied up in rags ! and so slashed by pieces of rook and stub ble that these very rags were °lotted together with blood. Rebels Subsist upon Green Corn Quidno assured me that the rebel army had sub. sisted itself in its recent marches almost entirely upon green corn, what they call a roasting ears " in the -South, and in consequence of their self denial, in enduring every hardship and privation, they feel the more confident, of success. • Jackson in the Valley. He says,neithor Jackson nor:Ewell was in the re cent battles, but Johnson, Lee, and Longetreet, eommanded in the different engagements, and this, he says, we might have known from the faot that communications kayo been sent to General Pope several times by General Lee. Only about one-half of the entire army was around Washington, he says, as far as his means of knowing goes, but reinforcements were continually arriving from the• South. The rebels are heartily sick of the war, but say they are determined to aohieve their " independence." • Coming Home. General Pope's immense army trains arrived in Alexandria today, and it is evident that he is falling back with his entire army: It, is said that great movements are now being executed in vari. ova directions, of which it maynot be proper for me to speak. Startling Rdmors.• It is said that no troops arrived in Washington to-day from the North, and, as a natural conse quence, rumor is at work, and with one of, her thousand tongues proclaims that General Wool left Baltimore, at daylight this morning, with 30,000 men, en route for Harper's Ferry. It is also said, in confirmation of this, that Stonewall Jackson is undoubtedly marobing upon that point with a large army. The Twin Cities Alexandria and Washington are nothing more nor less than vast hospitals; every vacant °birch, pub lio or private residenoe has been seized and filled with sick and wounded soldiers, and the streets of tho former place are said to be filled with straggling soldiers and skulkers.from our armies. The Gunboats. The Potomac river is Ailed with gunboats. There are several lying between this city andAlepm aria. Army Train Captured Wasnigovos, September 3.—About four o'clock this morning a train of one hundred wagons, with commis- Sat y stores, was Intercepted by the enemy between Fair fax and Centreville, and driven off towards Manassas before the party could be overtaken. They secured the entire train. • Bo soon as this raid in the rear of our army at Centre ville was known, the necessity of guarding that direction became apparent, and at noon the whole army of Tir. ginla had abandoned Centreville, and was massed this aids of Bairfax . Court House. This evening they again took up the line of march, and the advance is in sight of hinnaon's Hill. The enemy's cavalry followed them in the distance, but made no attack, and the entire 1101r0 went was being accomplished In excellent order. At noon, , to. day, Gen. 2foCiellan rode out to meet the returning column, and was reetaved with demonstrations of gratification and pleasure. The works for the defence of Washington are all in excellent condition, and are strongly manned by ex perienced artillerists. The gunboats now lining the Potomac are doubtless de signed to prevent any attempt to interrupt the naviga tion of that river. Arrival of Paroled Prisoners—Gen. Lee's Headquarters near Bull Run. Bleven hundred paroled prisoners, sorts of whom were taken by the enemy as far back as Thursday, at Manassas, arrived here late this evening, at Aqueduct bridge, Georgetown. They report that General Lae has established his hese quarters three mites beyond Bull Ban, on the War ruiton "tiiiniike • The only force at Fairfax. Court House was Btuart'a Cavalry, General STUART being there in person. The rebels assisted these men in the burial of our dead, most of whom had been stripped of their clothing, with the exception of their shirts. Our men say that the enemy at the time were iwo hungry that they rushed fur the haversacks of our killed and wounded. Our men saw columns of the enemy marching to the rear on the Warrenton turnpike toward Thorough fare Gap. The Situation Before Washington. WAEMINOTON, Beptember 3 —The National Rspubk• cm, of this morning, hoe the following article in its edi torial column: a It was obvious, after the failure of our army at Cen treville, to renew the fighting on Monday, that a retreat upon Washington would follow, and that seem. to be going on without serious loss, and in good order. Opinions, of course, Sr. divided uto the expediency of the course resolved upon. During Sunday, large reinforcement' bad reached Guard Pops at Centreville. The alternative was to at tack the enemy then and there, or retreat. That the enemy would not attack ns in such an advantageous po sition as Centreville, was plain. He would turn that ca rillon by an advance in the direction of Chain Bridge, compelling General Pope to fall back, as he wee compel led to fall back from the line of the Bappahannook, his right being turned by the movement through Thorough fare Gap. We believe that General Pope, at ClentrenUe, on Monday, as reinforced, wee numerically etionuer than the enemy, but some prudential reasons favored the polity of not fighting there, but of falling beet, looking met elf to the single interest of the defence of Washing ton. General Pope will finally ravioli a point where he cannot be flanked, and the further we draw the enemy thin way the mere difficult he will find it 60 supply himself .One °bleak:4k to the retreating policy is its tendency to excite rebel hopes and outbreaks elsewhere, as to Hen tueky.rrdissonri, 62e. • • • " No well. informed person here entertain' the slightest fear for the safety of the capital, or the slightest doubt that this Irebel attempt, prompted as it is by desperation and by t he hope of anticipating the arrival of our new levier, trill be a failure."

The Gallant 115th Pennsylvania Regiment. On Tuesday, a portion of Colonel ROBERT PATTna• BON'S 116th Pennsylvania arrived at Alexandria. On the preceding Wednesday they mot two whole brigades of the rebels, in the vicinity of Bristow. The 115th at once made a brilliant , bayonet charge at them, and drove them ba:tk. The rebels being reinforced, the rcmainder of the brigade came up and pitched in in the most dashing manner. It was a severely contested light, but the rebels were compelled to leave. Daring the charge, some dozen rebels got in the rear of theiline, and niado an attack on Lieutenant O'Atexamy with,the butte of their muskets. He defended himself gallantly, and cut the bead of one rebel titan off with his sword: The gallant Lieutenant was severely bruised In the en. counter, and is now an invalid. Lieutenant Loonwoon Trioursort, of this regiment, received 'a severe shot in the neck. Captain Dome, of Company D, was killed in the action. This is another instance of an Irish regi ment distinguishing itself. With les.% than full strength to drive back two rebel brigades is one of the most brilliant feats of the campaign.

[From the Washington Star of last evening.] , This forenoon, we hear, has been occupied by otir troops, for the most part. In getting into position in front of this city. The pointe occupied by them are generally those ocoupled by the Army of the Potomac previous to its departure for the PeMinnie There has been no engagement whatever this forenoon. The rebels in the immediate front are doubtlese massed most - heavily about Vienna, twelve miles from here; yet not in such numbers there as to change our opinion that they aim to cross the river above, into Maryland. By nine o'clock laid evening the whole of the army of General Pope bed reached the position it had been de termined it should aseume for the present before the staunch fortifications on the eouth aide of the Potomac', in our front. In their march of the day from theimme elate vicinity of Fairfax Court House, the enemy or course did their best to harass our rear with an occa sional round of shell, which, however, did no damage. Everything was brought hither in good order and con dition, the army being in a far better cendition to re new the contest of last week at a moment's warning, than we entiolpsted. . Ere they reached this immediate vicinity, we hear, Meier .oenerat McClellan had, in accordance with the general order of r etterday, issued an order assuming the chief command of the aggregate array (Pope's and Burn! side's. thus assembled for the defence of the capital. This morning it mem to be certain that the mass of the enemy that followed our army from the Rappahan nock to this vicinity are directing their march somewhat up the river, being already in some force about Lees burg, and in larger force between there and the Chain Bridge, as though about to make a demonstration at the ferry opposite Pooleaville, Md. • That and all other fords that might possibly be threat cued are of course being duly guarded by forces which Generals Halleck and McClellan dcubtlese regard u suf ficient for the exigencies of' the occasion, various bo dies of troops having in the last few days passed up the river on this aide, evidently to that end. yirtricheeter was yenta rdsy evacuated by oar troops, it be og miderstood that the rebela baie deo appeared to kr,* In the Valley. r We may add that there already is a strong ,fleet of llr ied States wan and mortar boats - in the river, ready tor instant action, if necessary. • Our belief is that the rebel generals will essay to erns Mee river in the hope of getting aupplies and other ae gis ALOIS throuih a Secession riming in Maryland, and trine be enabled to move on Baltimore rather than the Federal metropolis, which they probably think too well fortified to be attacked. This is , however, but a sur mise, though the contingency has douletleme been abundantly guarded againet by the authorities. If It bad been designed to make an attack upon the. other side of the river, we believe it would have been • made die morning, as every passing hour until it might be made serves materially to leisen the chinoe of the success of any 11110 h movement when essayed. order, by the was; is rapidly being brought out of the comparative chaos that invariably follows a week of each action and marching as our troops were lately engaged in. In that week, we learn from an offioer who ia best situated to know the facts, oar total loss of killed, wounded, and missing, did not exceed fifteen thousand the stragglers, who will very , snon be in their proper D i sce *Este, leaking a large proportion of the miming at present.

One of onr moat distinguished Generals stated to-day that the battle of ',Ohandlly, fought two miles north of Fairfax Court Hiuse, on Monday,was one of the moat brilliant of the war, espe - cially for the last three hours, and a portion of it being fought in a heavy rain storm. The rebels attempted to get in between Washington and General Fop!, but were promptly met with KasENEr's division, the lamented General being at their head. The fighting was Levers, bath Kaansav and STRYIPSU falling while giving spirited orders to their men. The command then: devolved on General Biartir, who fought the enemy until most of his ammunition gave out. He then gave orders to take the cartridges from the enemy's dead and our own, then lying lon the field which we held. This was done, and the men, with a about, drove the rebels back for more than a mile. It is reported to. day that firing has been beard in the vicinity of Leesburg, but there in no means of ascertain ing the truth of the rumor. BECTetar7 STANTON was at the Department to-day attending to .businees. This fact is mentioned as a refu tation of the report that be yesterday retired from the conduct of the War Department. Before closing this letter, information has reached here that the rebels are making a demonstration up tho river, and that some of them have already reached Leesburg, and are also spread between there and tho Chain Bridge, as u designing to cross the ferry connectiog with Mont gomery county, somewhere In the neighborhood of Pooleeville. The fords are, doubtless, properly guarded, additional cavalry and artillery having left here this __morning for that purpose.... the rebels having appeared in force in the valley. The Beceseloh programme heretofore published seems to be in the line of consummation, as far as the enemy can accomplish it—namely, to carry the way into Mary. land.

The rebels rampant on our borders, and Cincinnati threatened, after all this fearful loss of life during the put year, places our well-meaning President in a moat unpleasant quandary. A proclamation of universal emancipation may be leaned, with the idea that in two months all the negroes in the Bouthorn States will hear of it, and skedaddle from their respective localities compelling their masters to return and provide for their families ; or a determination may be followed to continue raising men, with a view of ultimately crushing therebels.

The beard and moustache were light.colored and thin, the side face ,Wll/1 shaved, and the light brown hair was rather long.

I only know that he first distinguished him self in tho Mexican war, where he lost his left arm above ;the elbow. Subsequently he took part in the Italian war against Austria, under Victor Emmanuel, acting as aid to the king, and on the breaking out of the present rebellion In this country, had proved himself one of the moat dashing and able division commanders in our iervice. At the outset he was a thorough pro-slavery man, excluded the entrance of contrabands within his lines, and coarsely excluded the Hutchinson singers from his camp, because they amused his soldiers with anti slavery songs. Before his death, the progress of the war had induced him to deeire a proclamation of universal emancipation, and the employment' or, negroei in every department of the army where fighting was not required. Hie views wore recently ventilated with great ability In a leading Hew York paper of radical politics. In regard to the wound of Kearney, it was received from a rebel soldier in a ravine. A mneket-ball Article him, back of the left hip, passed upwards through hie abdomen, and was extracted 'from the upper part of his right breast.. Ho fell: from' his, horse, and doubtless died , Dstently, His body. was sent into our lines yesterday _ . mornizig7by General Lee, undei a flag of truce. It gone to Newark to-day, for interment. The . process of em balmment was by making an inelsion;fouriinches long, In the femoral artery, inside of the left thigh, and injecting there a certain liqmd, which in three hours permeated every vein in the body, and will render it of a yellowish tinge, but marble-like in bardoese. Near his body, at the embalmer's, was that of Oaptain Beattie, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, calm and very life like, as also two others,'one of whom was a young pri vate, who had been embalmed six months age in a high elate of decomposition, but whose body, though bearing the black and blue marks of putrefaction, was, neverthe• {OEN now perfectly bard and sound.

Colonel Meredith was' wounded in the arm. Wheeler heard that Captain George 13. Osborne, Lieutenant Hiller, David Mc .Naughten, and Lieutenant Mumford were wounded. Wheeler, notwithstanding his pain, retreated with other wounded men into a.ravine, who were there fired upon by the advancing rebels, till they cried out that they were wounded, and Belted them to desist.
