EMI 4 - I)l . o.4trrian ifiamer. PITTSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 20, 1862 The War. The skies have brightened much during the last week. The rebels, pressed in their Tear by Geu. M'Clellan, and seeing forces gathering rapidly before them, under the -energetic action of Governor Curtin, turned aside, and declined to pollute, except by a few scouts, freedom's soil, in Pennsylvania. From Frederick they executed a flank movement, by way of Bconsboro', toward Hagerstown and Williamsport. But they were overtaken and sadly beaten. General M'Clellan's dispatches on the occasion, are as follows: WASHINGTON Sept. 15, 1862. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF POTOMAC, Three miles beyond Middletown, Sept. 14-9:40. P. M. To E. W. Bailed:, General-in -Chief : After a very severe engagement, the corps of Gene. Hooker and Reno have carried the heights commanding the Hagerstown road. The troops behaved magnificently. They never fought better. Gen. Franklin has been engaged on the extreme left. I do not yet know the re sult, except that the firing indicates prog ress on his part. The action continued till after dark, and terminated in leaving us in possession of the entire crest. It has been a glorious victory. I cannot yet tell whether the enemy will retreat during the night or appear in in creased force in the morning. I regret to add that the gallant and able General Reno is killed. (Signed) G. B. M'CLELLAN, Major-General. SECOND DISPATCH. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF POTOMAC, 1 Sept. 16-3 o'clock A. M. Major. General H. W. Hallecic, General in -Chief :—I am happy to inform you that Franklin's success on the left was as com plete as that on the centre and right, and resulted in his getting possession of the Gap, after a severe engagement in all parts of the line. The troops, old and new, behaved with the utmost steadiness and gallantry, carry ing with but little assistance from our own artillery, every strong position defended by artillery and infantry. Ido not think our loss is very severe. The corps of A. S. Hill and Longstreet were engaged with our right. We have taken a considerable number of prisoners. The enemy dispersed during the night. Our troops are now advancing in pursuit of them Ido not yet know where he will next be found. (Signed) GEO. B. M'CLELLAN, Major-General Commanding. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF POTOMAC, Sept. 15-8 A. M. 4 ,) To IL W. Balletic, General-in-Chief:— 61 1 have just heard from Gen". Hooker, in the ..ladvance, who states that the information is ,perfectly reliable that the. enemy is mak ing for the river in a perfect panic, and 1 Gen. Lee, last night, stated publicly that he must admit they had been shockingly -)whipped. lam hurrying everything for dward to press their retreat to the utmost. • 3 (Signed) GEO. B. M'CLELLAN, t.: Major-General. ti THIRD DISPATCH. FOURTH DISPATCH. 4gEADQUARTERB ARMY OF POTOMAC, At Bolivar, Sept. 15-10 o'clock A. M. To Gen. Ha?leek, Commander-in-Chief : —lnformation has this moment been re ceived, completely confirming the rout and demoralization of the rebel army. Gen. Lee is reported wounded, and Gen. Garland killed. Gen. Hooker alone has over one thousand more prisoners, seven hundred having been sent to Frederick. It is stated that Gen. Lee gives his loss at fifteen thou sand. We are following them as rapidly as the men can move. (Signed) G. B. M'CLELLAN, Major-General. The enemy fled in great disorder, toward the river.' The Potomac, at this season of the year, is fordable from Harper's Ferry up to its source; and nothing could hinder his passage, unless it were possible to push forward sufficient forces on the South of the river. This was contemplated. On Friday night Gen. M'Clellan sent a dispatch to Gen. Halleok, requesting 40,000 men to be sent up the, river, from Washington; 20,000 on each side. They were off on Saturday morning, with a large proportion of cavalry and light artillery. ,Dispatches which, may be received before we go to press, will appear in our news column. The forces in Maryland have been con cealed, as to their numbers, amazingly. Farmers, travellers, deserters, and escaped prisoners have reported the enemy, time after time, as high as 140,000. This num ber is doubtless too large, but he must have been in very strong force, or he would not have ventured so far. The most probable estimate is 80,000 to 90,000 He also had a very strong force behind him, between Leesburg and the mountain, which was in a position to either march upon Washing ton, or to cross the river' in M'Clellan's rear. His plan, however, is frustrated. The army left at Washington was adequate, under Banks, Heintzelman, and Sigel, to repel any assault; and M'Clellan was too cautious to put himself, voluntarily, into a position of needless danger. To catch the enemy• in Maryland, was a thing not easily practicable. He moved without baggage; and when his artillery and cavalry horses became exhausted he would leave them and plunder fresh ones. By the invasion he has gained some credit abroad, has sub sisted his army for a time, has driven off many cattle and horses, and has obtained much clothing and medicines, things which he very greatly needed. Shoes and boots especially he obtained, and in such quanti ties as to induce a suspicion that some were traitorously brought to Frederick for hie use. Other effects of, his exploit were his defeat above noticed, the drawing of the line more sharply between the secesh and the, loyal men of Maryland, and the arours-: ing of the war spirit more thoroughly in Penusylvania. The war policy `of the 'President is, more definitely manifested than it was. But still he seems a little like the man who would cross a river on two boats, one foot on each, and in great danger of falling between them. Possibly he may keep the Radical and Pro• Slavery vessels side by side, and hold them together by a Repub lican bond. Or rather it may yet be dis covered that he rides in the great Consti tutional ship and steers safely through the billows, keeping those antipodal little craft along on either hand, but so far and so effectually separated and restrained, that while they aim their deadly missiles across his impenetrable bulwarks; they can do but little injury either to him or each other. So may it be. We believe that the President would maintain the Onion, in its full integrity ; and preserve the Constitu tion, in its true . spirit; and enforce the laws, in their wholesome intentions. . In all this every good citizen should aid him. In this every Christian should desire his suc cess. We pray that he may be endued with wisdom to discern the right, with firmness to maintain it, and witli the energy which will command success. The movements of the army none can predict. We have our guesses, but we guess without a sufficient knowledge of facts. It may be doubted whether the plans of the Administration are yet very definite; and if they were, the enemy might so move, or so develop power, as to make great changes necessary. We hope to find that the President has learned to "hasten slowly," and move surely.. We wish a short war, and•to make it short we want large forces, judicious advances, and no retreats. GEN. POPE'S 'report of his battles iti his retreat from the Rappahannock to the Poto mac, is published. It is rather an apolo getic statement, than an official report. It was not given to the press by public author ity. He reflects severely upon several of his Generals; but his remarks lose much of their power from the known fact, that Gem Pope is liable to make statements which are not exactly in accordance with truth. He is gone to his new command, in the North-west; his head-quarters to be at St. Paul. We are sorry that Kansas is within his District. GEN. McDow - ara. has published a letter, addressed to the President, asking an in vestigation of his conduct. It is ably written, and breathes an excellent spirit. It is to be hoped that the Inquiry will be granted, and that the General's loyalty will be fully established. He may not be com petent to command an army. But few men are. But his integrity we do not question. Onzo is relieved from any serious fears of a raid upon her soil. She had pretty much of a fright. She showed activity and energy in preparing to meet danger, but may well rejoice that her power of resistance was not put to an actual test. It is' to be hoped that Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and all the free States, will now be better able to appreciate the importance of keeping the war at a distance; and that hence the peo ple will be more united, and supply sol diers with promptitude and in adequate numbers. KENTUCKY is being relieved, and has good reason to hope for speedy and entire relief.. The falling back of Buell's army to Nashville, and the arrival of Curtis' army at Louisville, have struck the enemy with terror. We hope that he may suffer for his temerity. NEW ORLEANS has been' threatened, but is regarded as safe. An approach is prac ticable only by a strip of land some three or four miles wide, between the river and the Lake, and this is fortified and well guarded. Gen. Casius M. Clay has been ordered to report to Gen. Butler at New Orleans. This looks like sustaining the policy of employing some negro regiments. There is no account yet published of the plans of Gen. Mitchell, at PORT ROYAL. Doubtless arrangements will be made for a vigorous Winter campaign from that basis. Savannah and Charleston and their sur roundings will be a fine field for an army of our nine months' men. It is reported that the rebels at Rich- monde became possessed with a fear that Gen. McClellan would again take shipping to the Peninsula and assail their city; and that they hence recalled a part of their army from before Washington. McClel lan has, just now, workin Smother quarter; but they may expect him, by some way of approach, before many months pass; his life being spared, and party politicians be ing excluded from the Executive ear and the Cabinet councils. Let politicians attend to matters which they understand, and allow our Generals to plan campaigns, battles, and sieges,and lead our armies. PRESBYTERIAL NOTICES.

Charles Sumner on the War This distinguished Senator has much to answer for, on 'account of the injury he did his country last Winter. His ultraism alienated many from a cordial support of the Government, he being regarded as a counsellor and leader. His decla mation in the Senate did much toward bringing about that unhappy order, which stopped recruit ing and let our armies run down. And he had something to do in producing 'a state of opinion which led to the partition of the army of the Po tomac. In all these ways he is deeply implicated in the, bringing on of the evils which now imperil the country. _ Mburning over these things, we are glad now to find some relief in a patriotic letter recently -from his pen. In reply to an invitation 'which he could not accept, to address a • convention at. Worcester, Massachusetts, he thus writes: " Were I ablato be at - the Convention 'accord ing to the invitation with which you have hon ored me, gladly would: I appeal to all such citizens. This country must be saved, and among the omens of victory I hail confidently that una nimity of sentiment:aid.trust with Which all loyal citizens now look to the National Government, `determined that nothing of energy, or contribu tion, or ,sacrifice; Tsh'all be wanting, °-hy) which its supremacy may be again established. Another omen is yet needed .It :that the peOple, for getting the :Pah, shall life themselves to that platform of justice and truth, where candor shall at last prevail,: and all shall frown indignantly upon the rancors and animosities of party ; shall silence the senseless prejudices of personal hate, and shall stifle the falsehoods of calumny, so that at least here among onricilves there may be that unity and concord which will give irresistible strength to our ,patriotic, labors,' In a' portion of his letter, the "one idea" .comes out,.butWhen a min advances sentiments so noble, we love , to do them honor. From Cincinnith CINCINNA.TI, September 16. A dispatch has been received from Nlizabeth,' giving par ticulars of the fight it Mumfordsville on Sunday. The rebels charged nine times, and were repulsed 'each time:with heavyllosiiiriTheir loss in killed was over three hundred, including three Coloaelli' `They sent in a flag of truce,ii.nd it took themsix, hours to bury their dead. Our loss was thirty seven killed and wounded. The Federals were reinforced yesterday by infantry and artillery. Yesterday the at tack was expected to be renewed at night. Maj. Abbott, of Mo., was the only offi cer killed on our side. There is no material change in the situation here. Stated Clerk It is generally believed that the rebels will make a stand soon. They appear to be expecting reinforcements. The rebels have planted a battery on the Ken tucky shore, thirty miles below. They are block ading the river. The battery is supported by infantry and cavalry. The authorities appear to be waiting on Gen. Buell. Moderator HARRISBURG, Sept. M.—The news from the Southern frontier is encouraging, but Gov. Cur tin will make sure against an invasion. The Eastern Counties still pour in fine regi ments of splendid men, many well uniformed. The State arms, equips and subsists them all promptly. They depart fully organized and equipped. Pennsylvania's army now in the Cumberland Valley is worthy of the noble old Keystone. Prisoners—one hundred in number—were cap tured yesterday by the New-York and Illinois cavalry, and sent to Chambersburg ; they were this morning brought to this city, and sent to Camp Curtin. Cluggett Fitzhugh, a resident in the vicinity of Charnbersburg, was among the number. He has been furnishing information to the enemy since their raid in Maryland. The dead body of Gen. Garland was found concealed in one of, the wagons, captured by the same party of cavalry, between Hagerstown and Williamsport. The wire to Higerstown is again in good order. STATED CLERK. ‘urrender of our Forces at Harper's Ferry-- Another Desperate Battle. BALTIMORE, September 16.—The AmericateB special, dated Frederick; Sept. 16, says We regret to have to announce the surrender of Harper's Ferry, with all the forces and stores there, to the enemy, at 9 o'clock this morning. The enlisted men and 801118 officers have been paroled and arrived here. From them I gather ,the following particulars : The rebels commenced the attack at Friday noon on our forces'on Maryland Heights. Skir mishing continued, throughout the day, and was renewed on Saturday. The enemy was driven back with considerable loss. They came up sev eral times and were repulsed, when it was dis covered that they were approaching in over whaming force. An order was given to spike the guns and throw them down the mountain. The whole force from • the Heights then retired in safety, the guns from Camp Hill shelling the enemy when they attempted to pursue our re tiring men. On Sunday morning a party of our men again ascended the Heights and brought away 'the field pieces, which they had left there, unspiked. On Sunday at noon the rebels appeared in great force on Loudon Heights. Col. Miles shelled them from point to point. Some of their guns were dislodged, but they still managed to keep up a brisk fire from some of their batteries, which were run back out of sight and loaded. Can nonading wns kept up all day Sunday, without doing much damage ; the firing ceased at dusk, and was resumed again on Monday morning at daylight., and kept up till 9 o'clock, when Col. Miles ordered a white flag to be raised. There was considerable fog and smoke, and the enemy did not see the flag, or would not see it, and kept up a heavy fire for three-quarters of an hour. About ten minutes after the flag was up, a shell struck Colonel Miles, shattering his right leg. Itwas amputated before the prisoners were paroled. • There were about 2,300 cavalry in the com mand, all of whom but about forty escaped about eight o'clock on Monday night, and cut their way through to Greencastle with but little loss. The balance'of the troops, numbering from 6,000 - to 8,000, with Gen. White's command from Mar tinsburg, were all - surrounded. Gen. Howe captured an aid of Gen. Stuart on Monday afternoon, who was making , his way from Harper's Ferry to Boonsboro', with a dis patch from Jackson to Lee announcing the capit ulation of the place. The Aid supposed he was at Boonsboro', which was in our possession. This was the first intimation of the surrender which our Generals received. At this time, Gen: Franklin was within three. hours' march of the Ferry, going to the relief of the beleaguered command, whither he, had been sent by. M'Clellan so soon as be received the dispatch from Col. Miles, on Monday morning, that lie was in danger. Intelligence from the front this morning is of the . most cheering character, notwithstanding the bad news from Harper's Ferry. M'Clellan was pushing them with a vigor most destructive. He pursued them on Monday morning with _his reserves and a large body of troops. The ene my took the road toward the river at H - arper's Ferry and at Shepherdstown, and he was pur suing them and shelling their retreat with great loss. Stated Clerk ln several contests on Monday, where they made a stand, our troops charged on them with such vigor that they fell back from point to point, in great haste. The battles anal advan tages obtained on Monday are thought to be su perior in importance to those of Sunday. The Drayton,South Carolina, brigade is en tirely gone. hey are either killed or wounded, or taken prisoners. The 17th Michigan, a new regiment, used up this brigade, first with bullets and finally with bayonets. Howell Cobb was wounded and:taken prisoner, and will be back to Frederick sooner than he boasted he would. Gen. McClellan was pushing them very closely last evening, and had already sent to the rear 8,000 prisoners and four batteries. HAITRISBURG, Sept. 16.—A dispatch just re ceived at headquarters says that. Jackson has re crossed the Potomac, and that McClellan has en gaged him with tremendous force this side of Sharpsburg, ten miles from that'place. Late arrivals indicate the appparance and growth of a . much better feeling in England to-. ward America, than formerly. Bitter things are still said, falsehoods are credited, :and ill results of the war predicted, but with many ameliora tions. Oa the Trent affair, Lord - Palmerston, at a meeting at Melbourne, said : . "We bad lately a question with the United States of America, which,threatened in, its out set, to bring on events which we should have deeply deplored; but that question was settled in a manner consistent with the honor, the princi ples, and the dignity of both parties ; because, while on the one hand- the American Government granted that satisfaction which was detuanded, on the'other hand they, cduld not, have refused the satisfaCtion without 'departing from these principles of international law which they themL selves had always maintained, .and considered essential to their own .interests as a nation. [Cheers.] There was, therefore, no triumph to either side—the only triumph was the triumph of truth and of ; justice, which .each party was equally interested in maintaining." Lord Brougham, in a speech at: Wigton, Cum berland, referred as follows to the question of mediation : , " I have heard people of late unwisely recom mend that that civil war, should be put a stop to by our taking a part, so far as to .recognize one'of the contending parties. I think that in recogni 7 zing the'South in that odious and horrible quar rel would only make the thing worse and continue' it, instead'of putting a'stop to it.' [Hear, hear.] Absolute neutrality, non-intervention, in every sense of the word, is-not only the only security for our own comfort and peace,.but it is the best poesible contribution that we Can make to put-, ting a stop to that odiMis quarrel." On the subject of Emigration, the Liverpool, Poet Poet publishes the folloWing . eireular of Secretary Seward, and accompanies it with approbatory comments : TO THE DIPLOMATIC. AND CONSULAR OFFICERS . OF THE UNITED STATES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.

LATER *reign Ptus. States. It may, therefore, be confidently asserted that, even now, no where else can the industrious laboring man and artisan expect so liberal a rec ompence for his services as in the United States. You are authorized and directed to make these truths known in any quarter, which may lead to the migration of such persons to this country. It is believed that a knowledge of them will alone suffice to cause them to be acted upon. The Gov ernment has no legal authority to offer any, pecu niary inducements to the advent of industrious oreigners. WILLIAM H. SEWARD. The Post responds: "Isere, then, is a palpable and an immediate remedy. Those who emigrate—and they can emigrate at a mere trifle each—benefit them selves, and will, immediately after arrival, be in a condition to relieve the friends and relations they have left behind them. The Northern States of the Union , never were so prosperous as they are at this moment. The land teems with plenty, and the demand for the produce is universal. If the authorities in Lancashire were wise, they would take instant action on the information con tained in Mr. Seward's circular. The able bodied men, at least, could be sent out, and from each a bond for re-payment of the passage money could betaken. In nine cases in ten it would be honorably discharged. The Federals want laborers, not recruits. Recruits are to be had from other classes; and probably the opposition to the departure of people in the drafting panic originated in the desire to retain laborers, not militiamen. Emigrants would not be exposed even to the..claims of a conscription : and al though the war is an evil to the world, it would be a blessing to them. They will be in no fear of an invasion, and they will be far enough away from battle-fields." thmuntrriaL Pittsburgb Market.

Reed,) in the 69th year of Ids age. Mr. Reed had been a member of the church about lialf a Century, and an elder in the Pres byterian church in Mt. Cermet Pa.,about forty years. For the prosperity of this church he la bored long, faithfully and prayerfully, his eam ple constantly ' enforcing the interest he pro fessed. But few men possessed such qualifica tions for .a leader—modest, retiring, kind, per suasive, but full of, energy ; saying in his own unassuming way, let us try and do this, and then he, would put, his- own shoulder quietly but I:;ow erfully to . the,,,,wheel, •and the enterprise would begin to- Moire so easily that others would begin to wonder that they had not tried it long befor_e a and,after it was done he let all share theglV of the - work. There , are but• few suatihey Some men are Willing to work andgiCgi 'and are -noisy, and. boaatful, &nol o Ina it was not offensive, and fail of deluxe so with our deceased &r, he was ...prudent in AS a man a:', l ,,4lVider in - symPathY. " If any' counsel,... %attester than he could, he Would not, man cu Ack, or imptign his motives, but he' "'", 4 ,41011ear after, quietly, as fast as he could. A w e was the pillar o ti which, as a church, we were, wont to lean ; and the adman inquiry among us, as a church; - has - been, Who will his place? who can MIR?" "Though far advanced in life; herosebarly - and travelled , five miles to. at SabbetbSclitiol; in which he felt kdeep• interest ; He - had lieeit.a. careful- student of the 11 Bible, and was well qualified as a Sabbath School and Bible Class teacher, Although from the injuries he received in the accident that terminated in his death, he was unable to talk of his hopes beyond the grave, yet his life had determined, without doubt, in every mind, his safety and peace beyond the grave. In life he had the witness of the Spirit that he was a child of God. And, though he felt if he was saved it would be a miracle of grace, it was the grace that God gives only to the regenerated that enabled him to feel so. We mourn his loss at a time when we can least bear it; but it is the Lord's will, and our duty is to say, "It is the Lord ; let him do what seem eth right in his own sight." "The earth may ring from shore to shore With echoes of a glorious name, . But he whose loss our tears deplore Has left behind him more than fame. "For when the death-frost came to lie Upon his warm and mighty heart., And quenched his bold and friendly eye, His spirit did not all depart. "His love of truth too warm, too strong For hope or fear to chain or chill, His hate of tyranny and wrong, ' Burn in the breasts he kindled still," DIED--In Ogle Co., 111., September 9th, 1862, Mr. JOHN BULL, in. the 71st year of his age. Mr. Bull was a native of Perry County, Pa.; where he spent.the greater• part of his life. In 1851 he moved with his family , to the West, and settled in Ogle County, Illinois. - In'early life he made .a nubile' profession of religion, and- joined -in communion with the Presbyterian church of the Middle Ridge, in the Presbytery of Carlisle. He was a retiring; but an intelligent and stead fast belie;er in the Divine Redeemer. He was a firm adherent to the doctrines and order'of the Presbyterian Church, resulting from clear con viction.and cordial choice, and he was alwa - ys ready with his worldly means to sustain her in stitutions at home, and extend' them in the world. In his new , home in Illinois, by his efforts and influence he succeeded in gathering around him his relations and otherfriends of th'e same religious persuasion, who have lately been organized into the flourishing little church of Middle Creek, by the presbytery of Rock River: Mr. Bull's religion was not a mere form, but a substantial reality, leading him to maintain an upright - walk and conversation through life, and affording him support and consolation when called to pass through the valley and shadow of death. In his last ,illness, when told, that his recovery was doubtful, he manifested a cheerful resignation to the will of God, and expressed the most pleasing assurance that all would be well with him beyond the grave. He said his. entire confidence was in the Rock of Ages—that he was a lost sinner, but redeemed and saved by. sov ereign grace. Thus in a good old age, full of peace and hope, he was gathered home, "like a shock of corn in his season." "Blessed are the dead which diein the Lord." P.
