days of General McClellan's militaryskill has saved

Maryland. On Thursday last the rebel junta at

a campaign more terribly unfortunate for those
who planned it th#l this ill-starred invasion of

the North. Troop's, fresh from victorious fields,
thirsting for spoil, and ravenous for the plenty
which . blesses ;the beautiful valleys of Penn
sylvania, enter Maryland. They cross the
border and invade the enemy's country. At
once all his energies are aroused, and placing' their
best general at the head of the army, it is sent
against -the invader, and millions look with the
deepest interest for the result of the conflict. The
two caimans meet. They test their strength upon
the summit of the Alleghenies, and again upon the
banks of the Antietam. The invader gives way.
The defeat of the mountain becomes a rout in the
valley. His hopes are broken, his generals killed
and 'wounded, and his soldiers lay by thousands
dead and, dying. Ile secures Harper's Ferry, and
now his broken ranks aro flying down the valleyt

Nothing could have been more unfortunate than
:this rebel advance upon loyal territory. Two

fulfilled. A firm reliance on the genius of General

Was even at this late day to he the residence of the
renegade dieughter of a patriot President; the marble
halls of the Capitol were to receive the rebel Senate,
and witness the treaeoa of the rebut House of Re

eclierne feifed ! Every poor conscript, who discon
tentedly retreats down it t Stumandoalt, can s tell of
blasted hoi 03 and unfulfilled promises, and those
• who lie upon the hills of the upper Potomac have
felt, even too keenle, the bit'er dart which others'
treason has given them.
We bear no matte° towards the hundred thousand
soldiers who were brought to invade Pennsylvania.
We cannot. They are but the unwilling 'ittstru
'extents of others. Forced into the service of a eon
s Piracy whose only rewards are wounds, and dis
ease, and death, they cannot be aught but lukewarm
in. its cause. 14 is upon the general, not the pet-
Tate, that we would wreak vengeance. It is upon
'that President and that Congress who bowed the
knee at the 'Throne of Grace to invoke a blessing

WnEs General Reno fell, General Sturges was
Within &few yards of hire. He wasin command of
the division formerly commanded by Eerie, e n .
greased by several new regiments, and the men had
jellit distinguished themselves in driving the rebels
from the summit of the Blue Ridge. These gene
rals.: were bosom friends; had been classmates at
West Point, and graduated together. When Reno
fell, Sturges ran to his assistance, had him picked
up, and said, "Jesse, are you badly wounded?"
-To ; which he replied, " Yes, Sam, I am a dead
man." General Sturges had him placed upon a
litter and carried to the rear, where he died in as
hour. His last words, before leaving the battle
field, were, ' , goys, I can be with you no longer in
body, but I am with you in spirit."

The Political Campaign.
We have been so much engaged in record
ing the events of the war, and discussing the
various questions which they suggestei, that
the coming political canvass has been necessa
rily neglected. The dangers to the State have
.completely overwhelmed all subordinate into-
Oats involved in its management and legishttion. .
- We must confess it, that we have little heart to
.enter upon a party contest now. The rebellion
haslet( bukone duty for good men to perform,
-and :that -hi Atie duty: of unquestioning ale
*lance to theßeyernment, and an unhesitating
, support - of ill 'measures necessary to repress
the eitisting sedition. We had hoped that the
national emergencies would have induced all
good men. to have* recognized this duty,,44
joined hands for the &Milton cause. Ths.dis
appointment wo .hate experienced in this' jut
and proper wish Compels vs to take a part - in
the pending c..nvass, and use all the means in
our power to secure the election. Our first
duty now is to secure the triumph of principle
by placing in effica the men who most truly re
present pritelple. Tle only candidates who
represent true loyalty are the candidates who
have been placed in nonainatiottiy i th , e State
Union Convention that met at liarriehurg, and
the various local Conventions who represent
the platform it has adopted.
No citizen of Phil delphia will, deny to
ALE:KANDER HENRI-, its present 'mayor; the
merit of being one of the best and purest ma
gistrates that ever presided over its welfare.
He is a representative man. Free from party
sympathy, he has, been impartial in all
his dealiegs with men—firm iu his ad.
ministration of justice, , and unselfish in
his devotion and_, loyalty. He has ruled
this municipality in the darkest period of its
history ; he has seen internal tumult, and has
saved vs time and again from the fierce rule of
impassioned mobs. He has seen the State
menaced by an invading army, and by the ex
hibition of a wise discretion and a prompt ap
preciation of existing danger has made Phila
delphia almost impregnable to the assaults of
the enemy.
,No man in, our, midst is more uni
veisally ,beloved than Mayor HENRY; no one
has done more•to endear himself to the hearts
of the people. We believe he will be tri
umphantly elected. Associated' with Mr.
Bazay, we, have other excellent gentlemen.
Mr. "il•terenat B. MANN is again in nomi
nation for the position ot DistrieteAt
torney, and Mr. F. C. BREWSTER for the
important office of iGity Solicitor. No two
gentlemen are more widely known in the
limits of their profession than Mt. Mixer
and Mr. BREWSTER. They are among the
most accomplished members of au accom
plished bar. As District Attorney, Mr. MANN
has been fearless, energetic, and just. In his
hands the law has been tip terror of the evil.
doer and the shield of the citizen. In every
time of danger Mr. MANN has been fore
most in the defence ofe his coantr3r, and
wbetfer as a soldier or a citizen, he has done
his duty bravely. In the base of Mr. BREW
, STER, we see au eminent practitioner, one who
has raised himself to distinction hy his talents
and industry, coming forward and tendering
his rervices to the city. The position is none
of his seeking; he has a most lucrative and
extensive practice ; and with his experience
and eloquence, he will see that the interests of
the city are properly cherished and defended.
In the anticipation of being able very
shortly to make an elaborate notice of the
candidates'for Congress thromediont the State,
"we shall say nothing at present of the various
gentlemen 'placed in nomination. It is our
purpose between now and the day of election
to discuss with freedom and candor the candi - dates fOr public positions. The State wants
none but her • ablest men to serve her at this
crisis, and the people should carefully esti
mate the value and services of every candi
date before exercising their suffrages.
The Season and its Suggestions
`Business men, assure us in a confidential
whisper that the fall season will soon be ac
tively inaugurated, and that its present pro
mise inauspicious. But does the man of busi
ness know what the fail season is? Ask him,
and he will bring out a cash-book that would,
have staggered ATLAS, and point you tri
umphantly to the season's gross receipts.
Oh, blind, blind man of business! Is thi.ls
your idea of the autumn season's value ? You
would weigh all life and death by your rusty
steelyards, if you could; you would measure
the buritd years by the pages of a ledger; you
would look at the bright sun in the heavens
and only see a dollar magnified; you would
look upon the world, that God intended as a
house of prayer, and only see a m mey
changer's temple. Close up the record
of your, sordiness that you hare la
belled. -c; cash-book;":::lock every desk
and drawer suspiciously ; hang the key
back among the cob-webs—fittest place—and
~c ome abroad with us. fon cannot lose a
day? Ah, but the day will not be lost; it
may be, years of gain. Ponder its lessons
over at the hush of eve , when the toil of men
is ended, when their footsteps are tana-_
-ing - troniewardi - iiiiil the weary strife of the
world has paused to regain a breath. Think
well upon what we shall see, and strive to be
less a hermit among living souls henceforth.
Tear off your cowl, and fling it to the winds ;
come from the cave of selfishness where noble
natures have been petrified; come from the
gloom that, is making you a sour, morbid
being, in': spite of all your treasures, and let
•us look upon the fall season as it is.
A few weeks since, strolling along the tho
roughfares of fashion, we might have fancied
that the city was infected with a plague, or
that the rebel armies had besieged it. 'Y he
private residences' were silent and deserted;
the doors and windows closely barricaded;
the very door-plates -tarnished with a rusty
sense of shame. Beneath some, doors we
might have seen the edges of a duzen hungry
letters, .and notices of enrollment peeping
quit. We might have pulled the bell till dooms
day, and only the dismal echoes, bewailing
their imprisonment would have been our: re
ply. To-day the city is full of life, for the
cc season" is approaching. Our merchant
princes, who could see duty, and health, and
wisdom in recreation, have come home frun
Longßranch, the Capes, Atlantic City, or from
peaks of the Alleghenies, with the joyous elas
ticity of mountain-life pulsating through their
Wins, like the wonderful elixir that M.A.ROMA.VE
hoped to find. The houses have cast, off their
Sunday gloom, each window has its animated
face, and the letters under the doe; that have
come perhaps from the Army of Virginia, are
gently read and folded tenderly away: They
were written by a loved one, whose season is
a perilous campaign, whose lot is constant
hardship, borne, oh, how uncomplainingly 1
His hand may never write another letter—per
baps 'it even now is cold in death—the autumn
season of how many blooming hopes !
We have no time to pause. The streets, a
week or two ago as silent as the Catacombs,
again are filled with moving throngs. They
are pushing, squeezing, jostling each other
good naturedly. Can you look at their count
less numbers, and into their smiling, hopeful
faces, and realize that this is the people whose
dearest liberties are now imperilled, whose ter.
ritoty is invaded, and whose whole resources
are concentrated in a fearful life-struggle ?
Can all your shrewdness realize that
nearly thirty thousand of their noblest
sons have gone out to the battle-field?
Yon say they are not missed. Oh,
man of business, blind, blind, again ! Va
cant homes are missing them; cheerless
hearths suggest their absence painfully;
broken-hearted wives and mothers weep for
them. And some of them shall never come
again to mingle in the busy throng that blocks
the highway frivolously. In the next square
stands a massive building used as a military
hospital. Hundreds of brave men are there,
lingering through the weary day on conches of•
pain. The pitying sunshine steals into their
and gilds their fancies with Ps Ovfl}
reflected glory. They dream el home add
friends far away, and the vanished joys of
childhold. How many of them will be sleep
in in their graves when the next fall-season
comes? -
War may desolate and ravage, every fibre
of the social framework- may be Convulsed
by the shock of armies and the thunder of
at tillery, but the calm surface of the mimic
world remains unruffled; the doors of our
theatres are. again thrown open. We weep
sympathetically with Juliet and Ophelia, but
when misfortunes overtake our common life
acquaintances, preserve our equanimity. For
the woes of the first wehave tears; for the woes
of the last consolatory words prescribed by
etiquette. Involuntarily, at this season, we
turn from the terrible drama in Virginia to the
dramas of SIIARSPEAItIt and SCOTT. It is na
tural, no doubt, and nature never stood in
need of man's poor justification. The season
of amusement--aye, the season that binds as
in a girdle the marts of the East, and the teem
ing prairies of the West—has come again. The
bond may be one of interest, but out of
it has sprung a cordial sympathy between
the two sections, which elevates their inter-,
_course far *hove the plain dignity of coat
merce. Ohio, and Indiana, and Illi
nois, and the other. States of the' setting
sun,. send greeting to Philadelphia, and pour
into her coffers the treasures they have
coined from their boundless acres of golden
wheat and corn. These treasures our people

moats to devote to the crushing of the fe
lA/VW:on- Otherwise applied, they would be
P Misapplied and valueless; they would change
.to dross on our very hands, add hring poverty
.•rid shame upon us. All that we have, or
• e'ier can be, is bound up in the preservation
of our national Union. Let us make this fall
season brisk and prosperous ; . let mutual con
fidence prevail, in all our burliness relations
as in time of peace, and peace may soon again
be with us.

LETTER FROM OCCASIONAL."
WASIEINGTON, Sept. 21, 1862
It is impossible for ns to estimate the results
of the recent victory at Sliarpsburg. This we
cannot know until we have learned from
reliable sources the condition of the rebel
forces, and the Effect of our triumph upon
the poi:Um' condition of the Southern Con..
ftderacy. I hear many persons denounce
.McClellan for what they- consider his
tardiness and incapacity in not Capturing
the rebel army or driving it into the Poto
mac river. A charge like this may be ape
clonally and generally made, but to me it seems
to be extremely unjust. I have watched the
last campaign of Gen. McClellan with great
interest, and, on reviewing it with calmness
'and candor, I do not see how it ie to be con
demned, unless we are; disposed to condemn
valor, energy, and consummate military skill.
To have taken the Army of the •Potomac,
which pope had denounced for its demoraliza
tion and inefficiency, marched it over the
greater part of Maryland, fought the most
hotly : centested and sanguinary battle of the
war, defeated the combined rebel armies,
aiiddriven them across the Potomac, is
to have accomplished one of the most
magnificent achievements of modern war.
It is' not many days since those who de_
riounce McClellan were trembling for the
safety of Washington. It is not many days
since the greatest army on the face of the earth
was huddling round the forts of the capital,
and a dread of the advancing rebel hosts filled
every breast. All this has passed away.
McClellan has relieved us from danger, and
saved Maryland and Pennsylvania. Let us
thank the gods for what they have done for us,
and cease repining. Let us accept the services
McClellan has rendered the state, and pray that
his hands may be strengthened for farther
triumphs.
The rebel army is now in Virginia, in full
retreat down the Shenandoah Valley. What
effect will this new situation of affairs have
upon the war? Virginia is barren, desolate,
and deserted. It has subsisted ono army and
submitted to the ravages of another. The
rebel troops have fed upon its harvests, the
Federal troops have foraged upon them. cc A
hundred years," said a Richmond paper, *re
cently, ci livid not suffice to restore Eastern
Virginia to the condition it occupied before
the war." It can be nothing more than a
vast Sahara of blood, ashes, smoke, exhausted
fields, and dead men's bones. The marrow
and the flesh have gone—nothing is left but
hollowness and cinders. It was, to leave a
heritage like this that Lee rushed into Marylaud.
Maryland had prospered by the war. All the
material benefits that camo from war—the
impetus to industry and manufactures, the
development of
. agriculture, by creating an
immediate and immense demand for the pro
ducts of the soil, have been enjoyed by her
people, and had made them rich and proud.
Lee had barely time to look from the moan
tain-tophe could see, but he could not enter
the promised land. He aspired to be the
Joshua, but he is not even the Moses of the
rebellion, for when he turned away from the
hills of the Monocacy, it was never againsto
look upon them, except as a prisoner Or a fu
gitive.
He goes back to Virginia, a baffled, beaten,
wretched adventurer. He goes back to :Vir
ginia with the curses of dishonored Maryland
following him, and the curses of his outraged
and bleeding mother-tate greeting him every
where. He goes btek trailing in the dust the
banners which he had so proudly flaunted over
his legions. Let him answer for the thousands of
deluded young men, the hope and joy of every
Southern household, who s'eep in dishonored
graves, as the victims of his rapine and am
bition. Let him feed the famishing thou
sands whom be is dragging at the heels of a
distasteful, a•disgraceful, and an unnatural re
bellion. Let him clothe the hills with the
harvests and forests his army have trampled
in their retreating and advancing marches.
Let him bring joy to homes where misery sits
by the hearthstone, and redeem the word he
has so often pledged to accomplish the down
fall of the Republic. I can see only for Lee
and the army he leads utter and irretrievable
ruin. Again the rebellion is retreating—again
the Union is advancing. It advances with
closed columns, eagerly,unceasingly, proudly,
and its teloved commander at its head. I have
faith in that army and in the men who lead it,
and I believe that before many weeks have
passed over us, it will have rescued Virginia
and crushed the Southern rebellion.

entiny, consisting of the Eitdcomb Legion, South Caro:
Tina, three companies of the 13th Virginia, two compa-
Dirli of North Carolina, and one company of Georgia
cavalry, with their advanced goard, came aria the
Federal linea at dal break, September 9, and suoieeded
in wounding one, and driving in three of the outpost
pickets. The Intelligence was immediately tionieyed to
camp, a distance of four SAWS, when she colonel{ com

officer in command to priPare tho , egtment for action.
In the meantime, the enemy felt their way cauti•
by throwing a supporting force rip with their advance,

and placed in three separate columns, at supporting

the men for a charge; they, however, eontinned falling
back in comparative good order, netli . they 'reached a
point, d one mile below thrtowni where they were

of a determination to melee a bold stand ; but, after de
livering a few well-directed rounds from their carbines,
they again 'fell hack in the direction of the camp. It

Yesterday our linal,advanced toward the enemy, whero
the discoiery was made that , the entire rebel army had
retreated during the night, leaving their pickets along
the entire • line so as to prevent us from gaining a.
knowledge of their movement until they had accom
pliebed their, purpose: Those left behind to perform title
duty generaft ourrondered as soon as our akirmiehers
sectored. • '
It simnel from the statements of the residents of Bherps•
burg and Os Vicinity, that rebel reinforcements were ex
pected on Friday, but they did not arrive; awl conse
quently it was dr elided to cross the river, as they were in
no condition to stand another such battle as that of the
17th lust. So• they commenced leaving at dart., on
Thursday night, nod the rear of the line peened through
Sharpsburg just before. datlight yesterday morning.
They crooked the river at different pinta in the vicinity

but little irjury.

which tler ammo unable to move feat enough. They
were finally compelled to abandon them, one of which
they spiked.
Their trains have all got off, notwithstanding it is_eald
their hones were completely worn out. They seem to
have taken a position on the other side of tho Potomso,
but [they did not reply to onr -guns this afternoon, with
the exception of three or four show.
An attempt was made to cross and dank them, but
they were in too good a position to attempt it with
success.
A Union man named Hughes came in from Williams
port this afternmm, and reports that a large force of trio
enemy had recrossed the river at that dam, but ha
cculd not say bow many, for fear he might be caught.
He left in haste, and therefore did not count them. Ile
said; at least 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 icfantry were on
this tide, and the column was st:li coming ever, the rear
not being visible. According to another report, it was
only a small party sent over to forage the country and
hustle the inhabitants. With this exception this of
Maryland is free from the invader, a result which all
expected at an early day, though few thought such a
tbieg possiGle before anetber great battle.
The retreat of an army so large as that of the rebels,
in the face of one like that of our own, was certainly
creditable to its commandere, especially when It is con
sidered that they met with bat slight lose while it was
being consummated. One thing, however, was is their
favor, which was that they bad the Antietam in their
front, about half the length of their line, over which
our boors could only cross at one point It was at this

Most deadly contests occurred. The dead were lying thick

west of the Degerstown Imnpike, across the road and
several fields, to near the Booneboro turnpike, about half

dose ai to be nearly within reach of one another's hands
along the entire distance, while in many places they lay

tacked by Ring's, Ricketts', and Sofigwick's divisions,
and the rebels, although maintaining their ground for a
time, were coMpriled to give way, their loss being fright
fu ly, large.
Dury ea's brigade, which opened the attack, lost about
half its force, but maintained it untl•krelieved by fresh
troops. Its lose in officers is as follow.: Captaln Kelly,
104th New Yeti' Lieutenant Buckley, 105th New York,
killed, and Lieutenant Colonel Carroll, Captain Bradley,

about 860 who went into the action. The onorny'a loss

and many are of the opinion that it would average the
same all ever the battle ground. This is accounted for
by the fact that our men fire high, while the rebels
seem to be particularly instructed to fire low. The pri

'on the centre of the battle-field, a radar, two lieutenante,

frtm Harper's Ferry, after having burned all the Go
vernment property they,found there that they could not
carry off, including the pontoon bridge and the store

the fight was, reenmed by General Bost:crane, who was
.
nearest to the town, but it was found that the enemy
bad been evacuating during the night, going south.
Hamilton and Stanley, with the cavalry, are hi full pur
suit. This will, no doubt, break up the enemy, and pos
Bibb , force them to abandon much of their artillery. The
loss on either side in killed and wounded is from four to
five bandied.
The enemy's loss In arms, tents, etc, will, be large.
We have about 250 prisoners. I have reliable informa
tion that it was Price's intention to move over east of
Tennessee. In this he has been thwarted. Among the
enemy''s 1055 are, General Little killed, and Gen. Whit

and skill displayed by General Remora - no in the attack,
and of the endurance of the troops under him. General
Ord's command showed untiring zeal, ,but the direction

part they desired. Price's feyce was about fifteen thou
