The Situation.
In aliwara, saccessesare hoped for, and reverses
mint MwetimM be expected. But when reverses,
or waatof sncwwes fill up. the measure of days
and months, the heart of n nation grows sick.—
.Suchsanmedtobe onr condition a few weeks ago.
Bat fifemfcato tbeßufer of the destiny of nations
a-dtjm#' W come, and victory perches once
eor banners ' hope springs up anew in
onr fiMft*.
The events off be last few weeks are big with
interest:to ns as a natioa, and to the world.
Tfeeiavaaion of Pennsylvania filled many hearts
withfimad, and was on the part of the Rebel
leadasa-a desperate nndartaking, and, in some re
apers*, dnerifal havebeen its results. Many green
spots haaa hetn .polluted by the feet of the inva
dcr, end the golden fruit of many harvest fields
has been destroyed. .
Bat above all, the cherished ones of many:
homes, deep* upon the red field, “ the sleep that
knows no waking.” Some have gone down in
the priihe of thejr manhood, and others, with the
tenderness of boyhood still lingering on their
brows, have closed their eyes amid the thunder*
of battle, to open them no more upon the green
fields of earth; and now over many unmarked
and nameless graves, the evening wind, sings a
sad requiem.
Bnt the tame' wind tings a song of brilliant
achievements, and fens the laurel which is woven
in wreaths of imperishable, beautv and gloty.
around the names of the lamented bnt honored
dead. Tbein were deeds of heroism which shall
live upon the page, while Gettysburg shall be ont
of the classic names of iristoiy.
Though Gen. Lee has again effected his escape,
yet bis defeat and root hare been of incalcula
ble importance. The army of the Potomac which
has fought and suffered so much, but with fre
queut ill success-—in a measure disheartened—was
permitted to teach the rebel leaders and theii
followers, that the soil of Pennsylvania, though i.
might produce here and there a straggling traitor,
was nevertheless a soil illy adapted to the growth
and success of treason.
Our soldiers on the Held of Gettysburg received
a new impulse, inspirited thus and flushed with
victory, their loss in numbers will be more than
made up in the renewed energy which will All
every breast. If there were no other benefits
arising from this success of our arms, this alone
would be a victory in the present crisis' wortii con
tending for, but the result is doubled when wt
reflect that Lee’s army has just experienced the
reverse.
It came, as with the lread of a conqueror on a
triomphant marcb. , Ithas fallen hack defeated,
dispirited w>d demoralised. And though, through
the shrewdness which we are willing to accord—
of its cotnmander, it has once more reached the
“ Sacred soil,” it .has reached that soil no longe
to be,dreaded os it once was.
Another advantage we have gained by this re
pnlwof Lee is the lesson they have been' tanghi
concerning ourreaenred strength and its readmes?
and w&lingness to rise at a moment's call to
beat bock the invaders.
We are crediUy informed that they expected to
find bnl few men at home in Pennsylvania, and
those .Jew favorable to their cause. They did
find a .few of this character, and they so worthies?
that even the rebels themselves spurned them,
and ia addUon they found thousands of the bom
and dnew of the land leaving their fields and theii
work shops their offices and counting-rooms—
shouldering their trusty firelocks and going
forth to drive the traitor from their fields and
moan tain fastnesses.
But Gettysburg stands not alone in the eventi
, that mark the paat few week*. Victory at Vicks
burg, A-Mptixiug the Fourth of July with glory,
andgainingto na a atrong hold which Jeff. Davh
himself admitted was the .key to all their pros
pects. Victory at Helena, when they hoped to
succeed but two fearfully repulsed; Victory a
Port Hudson and the Mississippi opened to navi
gation for Union veeels, but closed to supplier
forthe rebellion.
3jhna summing all up we feel that we have deci
dedly the advantage in onr favor, .a balance to our,
than at any time since the rebel
viper uncoiled itself. Verily ire think we see
light ehend.
Tan $3OO Exemptioh.—lt has been decided
by the War that a drafted man who
believes hupseff physically incapable of doing mil
itaty.duty. and desires the opinion of the examin

the aumsy'will h* returned him, while if a different

exmnption either by permitting the $3OO to remain
in the hands of the Collector, or furnishing an ac

Acknowledgment of Rebel Disasters.—
The Richmond Inquirer, of the 14th, in an edi
toriai, says; “ The foil of Vicksburg, the retreat
ofDPWK the repulse of Lee, and die advance on
Charleston, are all seriou* diiaatetv the most
••rioos that hare attended onr arms since the com-
RUWMMnt of the #ar.”
In the Boston Heralds correspondence concern
ing the jtecent unsuccessful attack ’made by onr
troops upon this rebel stronghold, we find the fol
lowing paragraphs;
“On the 12th instant, General Gilmore ordered
the storming of Fort Wagner by the Seventh Con
necticut. Ninth Maine and Forty-seventh and
Forty-eighth New York Volunteers, and the two
first named regiments had actually reached the top
of the parapet, when a murderous fire from the
enemy drove them back. The Seventy-sixth
Pennsylvania, which were to support the assailing
party, did not come up in time, and our troops
had to withdraw.
“ The cause of the failure of the Scventv-sixth
Pennsylvania is ascribed to the fact that Colonel
Strawbridge and the Lieutenant-Colonel were in
the hospital sick, and as the Major was shot in
■both legs eany in the day, the command devolved
upon a Captain, in whom the men had no confi
dence, arid thus faltered at the time they were
wanted,"
By the following particulars of the engagement,
which we are permitted to glean from a private
letter received by a citizen of this place,' it willbe
seen that the Herald's correspondent does not tell
the truth in regardto the actions of the gallant
76th on this occasion. The letter is dated “ Hilton
Head. July 13th, 1863,” and says :
“Operations are progressing on Morris and
James Islands finely, with the exception of tire
i repulse at Fort Wagner, where the 9th Maine failed
to support the 6ih Connecticut and 76 A- Pennsylva
nia regiments. The batteries on Morris Island
are all in the hands of our men, except Fort Wag
ner and Cummings’ Point Many prisoners were
captured, and but for the faltering of the 9th Maine
in front of Fort Wagner, Major Hicks, says, the
Fort would have been taken; but, as they were so
much exhausted, they could nut hold it without
support. Major Hicks fell ou the glacis of the
Fort, wounded by a grape shot through both thighs.
His wound is not considered mortal, although the
ball passed through within an inch of the arteries.
When the Major fell, Capt. Jos. R. Findley took
Iris place and pressed onward; his clothes were
riddled with bullets, but he escaped uninjured.—
Lieut. Col. Rodman, who led the detachment of
he 6th Connecticut, was wounded'in the thigh—
supposed to be mortally. Capt. Knerr, of Co. H,
76th P.;V., was also wounded in the thigh. Lt.
Miller, of the same company, and Adjutant of the
regiment, was killed on the top of thi parapet,
gallantly changing into the Fort at the head of
Iris regiment.”
Does this look as if the 76th “faltered?” If it
does, we “can’t see it.”
The letter goes on to say: “The loss of the
76th is about 100 or more, out of a detachment of
680. Lts. Stomhangh and Beittinger were both
wounded and taken prisoners. Company F is
badly cut up—only 18 men being able to answer
o their names—although many, it is supposed,
were exhausted and would be in after some time;
also, that many were in the hands of tile enemy,
is prisoners. Orderly Sergeant Crawford Girin
is among the missing. Bub Wayne is slightly
wounded, and young Connor killed. lam ex
pecting a list of the killed and wonnded as soon
as it is completed at the Hospital, when I will for
ward yon a copy. s ■ ; ,
“It was after taking five other batteries that the
attack was made on Fort Wagner, and then the
garrison was reinforced by those who escaped from
the batteries. Another great the repulse
was, that the guns of Fort Sumpter were able to
throw shells over Foirt Wagner, and thus annoyed
our men greatly. Fort Wagner is iron-clad, and,
through exhaustion and want of support, pur men
were forced to retire, The Monrors are, at work
rt Fort Wagner, and the Engineers ,are erecting
flatteries to command both Wagner and Cum
mings’ Point. Although slightly repulsed, our
men are anything but discouraged, as they have
great confidence in General Gilmore, who has
only been here a month and has accomplished so
much. In the opinion of Major Hicks, Fort
Wagner will be taken just as soon as they have
batteries erected to protect our men, which will be
before long, as every available man, horse and
mule, is working to the utmost.”
This letter was closed on the Uth, when the
writer says: “ General Gilmore is now erecting
a battery within 230 yards of Fort Wagner, and
mounting 200-pound guns, with which he can
ifterwards reach Fort Sumpter. Monitors and
gunboats are playing away on Sumpter, and by
he end of this week they expect to be abje to open
in it an uninterrupted fire from Morris Island
General Gilmore is working in his shirt-sleeves
wjth his men, and eating “hardtack” and pork,
is they do. Great confidence is placed in him.”
The Position of Gen. Lee’s Army.—A
Herald's special from Washington the 19th, says
he rebel army has not made as rapid progress
oward Culpepper as has been generally supposed.
Then:,is good reason for stating that the ' bulk of
Lee’s army is still in the vicinity of Winchester.
There was also quite a large rebel force at Banker.
Hill, which is between Winchester and Martins
horg, yesterday. J It would he improper <to state
where Gen. Meade's army is, but there is good
ground to hope that they may complete ~|he dis
traction of the remains of the rebel artiiy.
The Philadelphia Inquirer has a dispatch
dated Hagerstown, the 18th, stating that the
rear gnard of Lee’s army left Martmsbnrg on
Saturday morning. Our whole force is across
the river. The Potomac was foiling rapidly.—
Lee is retreating with his main force by Sirasbnrg
and Staunton, and not by way of Culpepper.
Rosecrans Pursuing Braoo Closely.—A
dispatch, dated Memphis, July 17, Says :»t-
“ General Hurltmt’s scorns arrived at ’Corinth
to-day from Decatur and Jacksonville. They re
l>ort Bragg retreating precipitately into Georgia,
followed .by Resetrans’ forces. Rosecrana’ ad
vance is reported at Rome, Ga. Scouts report
Bragg endeavoring to make a junction with John

neighbors at log rolling, was struck! in tfie ster
num bv a handspike which was thrown by the
sudden turn of a log sending him back a consid

BT XLCTXTUDS,
Ah! who lies here ? My childhood’s friend,
A noble heart and brave,
Who, early yielding to the cup,
Became its willing slave.
I saw the trace upon his brow, j
Left by the ram-fiend’s tread;
I heard his wife in anguish monm.
His children beg for bread.
1 saw his home made desolate
And rain crowd aronnd;
I saw his bloody, mangled corpse
Upon the railway found.
Twas asked, who spread this clond of night?
Who threw this gloom afar?
A widow’s trembling hand was raised
And pointed to the “ bar.”
The “bar,” whence flows so mnch of death.
The “bar,” where furies dwell;
The “bar,” the fittest earthly type
Of demon’s work in hell.

BY ALCm^UDB.
Twas midnight—starless midnight— yet from
those heavy clouds fell not the raindrops; its dull
sonnd might have been music to her heart. jßut it
was the winter clouded sky, and the cold* wind
whistled through the many crevices of that log
dwelling. Lonely, because happy smiles, loving
words, and ever fond hopes had long ago bade it
adieo. Hark! the sound of merry slcighbells and
the gleeful laugh of light-hearted maidens is earned
by on the air, but there is no gladness in that sound
for her. Ah! no, it is a very mockery, and the
thoughts it stirs, seems to freeze with very coldness
her already crashed heart. It brings back to her
remembrance, hours of long ago, when with light
tread she descended marble steps to seal herself
beside him she loved, and listen with different feel
ings from the present, to the happy chime of the
rattling bells. Ah! those were happy days when
even the wintry wind had glad mnsic in its sound,
but they are passed and now in that dim-lighted
hovel, she sits—sits all. alone, shivering with cold,
wan with hanger, and sod at heart.
The scene here introduced had not its birth in
imagination—it is no fiction, and perhaps to-day
ten thousand pale emaciated women in our land
would start, to read our narrative, and feel, with
but few exceptions, the misery was at least their
own.
Cornelia ———, and this is no borrowed name,
was-a young lady of actual intelligence and worth;
not, u is true, superior to many others, but inferior
to few. Her childhood and girlhood had been spent
in comparative luxury, yet she had not been denied
the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the
duties incident to the every day routine of life.—
In a word, she was well prepared to grace the
kitchen, dining-room or parlor, to bake bread or
touch the keys of the piano with artistic skill. She
was not what the world calls handsome, and yet
when her full soul welled up into her eyes or spread
upon her face in smiles she was beautiful. She
was just such a being as was well qualified to make
home happy.
She was half orphaned—her father bad been cut
down in the prime of his manhood, and in the
midst of a useful life, hy that dreadful disease the
cholera; but her mother was left her—a woman
full of energy, guided fay unswerving principle and
Christian rectitude. Under her guiding care and
instruction Cornelia grew up an affectionate
daughter, and a devoted Christian.
It was in her nineteenth year that she first met
W. He was a young man of fine abilities, noble
mien, and generous heart. Possessed of much of
this world's goods and enjoying a reputation as a
Christian, it was not strange that his visits were
satisfactory both to parent and daughter. Nor is
it strange that he was soon the accepted suitor of
Cornelia; and with her enjoyed pleasant prome
nades, and the joyous sleighride of which we have
already spoken. But why lengthen my story. —
They were married, and for a time Cornelia’s
mother was an inmate of their dwelling. The
stream of life flowed smoothly, or if rippled at all,
it was only by those adverse circumstances to
which human lifens subject. But a change came.
Cornelia was found in tears—her bean had long
ached as she had marked, ail unobserved to others,
habits of intemperance stealing upon her husband,
but now the first harsh word bad been spoken, and
that concerning her mother too. It was hard, yet
she dried her tears, not even accounting for them to
her on whose breast she had so often laid her head,!
and told her childish sorrows. This was too deep
to be made known. Bat it could not be long till
the loving mother must know the worst, and not
content to remain where her presence, instead of
comforting, intensified the pangs of her danghter’s
grief, she sought another home. It was a sad
houf for Cornelia, bnt she submitted, for W. com
plained that her mother was a burden there, and
yet he had all she possessed under his control.
Ah! it was not himself it was a demon that brooded
those thoughts and spoke those words of nnkind
ness.
Downward—how that single word points many
a man's course—downward W. passed, his Christian
character was gone—bis fireside was forsaken, his
business neglected, his heart possessed by the de
mons that lurk around the’ drinking saloon and
the “gambling hell,” for one vice had led him to
another. I was poor then—as I am yet—and he
had often favored me. I shall therefore never for
get my surprise when on the evening referred to in
the introduction he came to me with hurried steps
and Qskcd me to lend him five dollurs. I had
been absent for some weeks and did not know that
the sheriff held the keys to his fine store-room and
.dwelling and that his family had been driven to
seek refuge from the inclemency of the weather in
u building that by others had lieen deserted, but it
was so. He told me all in a .few. words, and 1
thought he was penitent. I granted his request,
and supposed it would be properly applied. But
no, I watched his course; it led to a gambling
saloon. Soon I met him again, he asked me for
another loan;. ! denied him and begged him to ac
company me . to his home, but in anger he refused
and left me. Business and company kept me till the
midnight hour, and as I returned to my lodgings
I passed their humble dwelling. There she sat
watching and waiting, mild in h<r grief, calm in
her sadness, now the wreck of what she once was.
And there alone, she afterwards said, she watched
until morning’s grey dawn was painted upon the
clouded skv.
How many nights she watched thus we are un
able to say—bnt we are able to say that another
change occurred, and that Cornelia’s fare though
paler than it was wont to be in girlhood, has re
gained its old familiar smile, and she has heen
heard to say that through the goodness of God she
owes it all to the Sons of Temperance. It was one
of that noble though much abased Order who
raised the insensible W. from the street where he
had fallen and persuaded him to apply for admis
sion into ■ Division No. , into which he
was initiated in the month of May, 1853. If you
will go with me now, kind reader, I will show you
in one of onr western towns a neat and pleasant
dwelling surrounded by shrubbery, and superin
tended by Cornelia. And there in her old arm
chair Jhs her mother, and the fine looking gentle
man there making his toilet, is none other than
W.—now well-to-do in life—preparing to attend
the Division to-night.
Tie! says the rnmseller'and rum drinker I would
not be -a Son of Temperance, they take away a
man's freedom. Folly, says the church member,
the Sons of Temperance do no good. But we ssy
turn to Moralitv’s record and see. Go to Cornelia
and know with what joy a Son of Temperance is
welcomed.
Items About the Draft.
The following items of {information respecting
the coming draft will interest our readers gener
ally :
THE SIX MONTHS’ MEN IN THE DRAFT.
Tne Provost Marshal General has issued a cir
cular of instruction in relation to the draft, in
which ha says: All men who have been mustered
into the United States service, under the call ot
the President of the United States, dated June
15, 1863, for troops for six months’ service, or
who have volunteered for State service alone, are
liable to draft under the enrollment act. If any
of those who have been mustered into the United
States service should be drafted, they will receive
credit for the time they may have served, or
or may yet serve, under the present engagement.
Those so drafted are to be taken np on the des-.
criptive roll of drafted men, and notified through
their present commanding officer. They will,
until further orders, continue on doty with the or
ganization to which they may belong at the time
of the draft, and at the expiration of that service,
will be assigned to three years' regiments for the
completion of their term of service. Those called
out by Governors of States, for State service, and
not mustered into the United States service, will,
if drafted, be duly notified through their command
ing officers, and required to report to the Provost
Marshal of the district where they were drafted,
to be enrolled in the United States sendee for
three years from the date of such enrollment.—
This settles the question of the liability of the six
months militia to the draft. *
DISPOSITION OF TUB CONSCRIPTS,
A special dispatch from Washington states that
the men raised under the draft are not to form
new regiments by themselves, but are to be as
signed to fill up the old regiments in the Army of
the Potomac and other armies. They will thus
at once get among veteraij/tvpll disciplined, well
drilled soldiers ; and in a few 1 weeks they will be
quite equal to these in military tapacity and
power of service.
ALIENS AND THE DRAFT,
By the President’s proclamation of May 8, no
plea of alienage will be allowed to exempt any
pc-son of foreign birth from the draft who shah have
declared on oath his intention to become a citizen
of the United States, and who shall be found
within its limits at any time during the continu
ance of the rebellion, at or after the expiration of
sixty days from the date of the Proclamation.—
The lime thus s|«eified expired on Monday.
The Provost Marshal General has issued the
following explanatory instructions;
1. Any drafted person paying $3OO, under
Section 13th, of the Enrollment Act, is thereby
exempt from further liability under that draft, but
not from any subsequent draft.
2. Any drafted person furnishing an accepta
ble substitute is exempt from military service for
the period of which said substitute is mustered into
the service.
.3 A substitute once mustered into tbs service
cnanot he drafted while in the service.
.4. A drafted man cannot pay commutation
money or present a substitute after he has'reported
himself to the Board of Enrollment for examina
tion.
5. Men who, on the third of March, 1863, were
in the military service of the United States as sub
stitutes under the draft of 1862, and whose terms
of service have since expired, are not liable to the
present draft, but the persons for whom they were,
substitutes are liable to draft the same as though
they had not been drafted and furnished substitutes
under the draft of lost year.
6. In serving the notice as required by circular
No. 42, from this office, a reasonable time to re
port shall in each ease be granted by the Board of
Enrollment to men in the State service who have
been or may be drafted.

A day of Thanksgiving and Prayer.
Washington, Jolt 16.
Br the President of the United States or
w America ;
A PROCLAMATION,
It has pleased Almighty God to hearken to the
supplications and prayers of an afflicted people, and
to vouchsafe to the Army and the Navy of the
United States Victories on land and on the sea, so
signal and sot effective as to furnish reasonable
grounds for augmented confidence that the Union
of these States will be sustained, their Constitution
preserved, and their peace and prosperity perma
nently restored.
But these victories have been accorded not
without sacrifices of life, limh, health and liberty,
incurred by brave, loyal and putriv : c citizens.—
Domestic afflictions in every part ot the country
follow in the train of these fearful bereavements.
It is meet and right to recognize and confess the
presence of the Almighty Father, and the power
of His hand equally in these triumphs and these
sorrows. -
Now, therefore, be it known. That I do set apart
Thursday, the 6th day of August next,, to: be ob
served as a day of national thankgiving, praise,
and prayer, and I invite the people of the United
States to assemble on that occasion in their cus
tomary places of worship, and in the forms ap
proved by their own conscience, and render the
homage due the Divine Majesty for the wonderful
things Ho has done in the nation’s behalf, and in
voke the influence of His Holy Spirit to subdue the
anger which has produced anil so long sustained a
needless and cruel rebellion ; to change the hearts
of the insurgents; to guide the counsels of the
Government with wisdom adequate to so great a
national emergency, and to visit with tender care
and consolation throughout the length and breadth
of our land all those who through the vicissitudes
of marches, voyages, battles and sieges, have been
brought to suffer in mind, body or estate, and fi
nally to lead the whole nation, "through the paths
of repentance and submission ■to the Divine will
back to the perfect enjoyment of Union and fra
ternal peace.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set tnr
hand and caused the seal of the United States to
he affixed.

unquestionable anthority be fports the following, r
casualities of Gen. Lee's army at Gettysburg: 1 ! I, 1
Left behind 11,000 wounded, 8,000 wounded taken ;
away by him, 4,500 buried by the Federate, and
17,000 taken prisoners; captured at Falling Wa
ters, of Gen. Pettigrii’a command, 1,000 prisoners
and 4,000 killed and wounded—making an aggre
gate of 45,500 of Lee’s army.
General Howard reports farther that only six
rebel surgeons were left behind at Gettysburg, and
with one or two exceptions, manifested utmost in
difference as to the condition of their wounded,
nor did they leave any medical stores on the field.
This fact should be contrasted with the battle at
Chanrellorsville, where Lee received medical stores
and Surgeons from the Federais, who took good
care of their wounded.
Morgan’s Defeat. — Chtcimati, July 20.—0 n
Saturday morning Morgan's forces were overtaken
near Pomeroy by Hubson and Jordan, who had
formed a junction. Morgan finding himself in
close quarters, and learning that the ford at Buf
fington Island was well guarded, broke his band
in small squads, in order to escape. One squad
with six pieces of artillery made for the crossing
at Buffington, but the gtm-bdats drove them back
with a loss of one hundred and fifty killed and
drowned, bar cavslrv charged and captured the
battery, killing a number of rebels.
Cote. Wolford and Shackelford succeeded in
capturing one lot of 575, and another lot of 675,
besides numerous squads, making in all over
1,000 prisoners. Among them. Col. Dick Mor
gan, brother of John, and Col.'Ward and Grijpby.
Our cavalry is in pursuit of the balance or the
command, which is entirely broken up and scat
tered in the Kills, The position of opr forces is
snch (hat they cannot get across the Ohio, nor
get much further north.
Later. —l 2 m.— -Our forces are continually
capturing Morgan’s men, Basil Daks was cap
tured this morning near Pomeroy. . Over 1,800
men taken so far.
Prisoners in our Hanoi. —The following
statement of rebel prisoners now in* our harids is
believed to l>e nearly if not quite correct: On hand
at Memphis, 4,000; at Port Delaware, 5,000;
taken by Meade at Getlsyburg, in cavalry fights
since, and at Williamsport, by General
Grant, 31,000; by Gen. Banks, 12,000; by Gen.
Uosecrans, 4,000; byGenetieal Sherman, 2,000;
by General Prentiss, 2,000; making all a total
of 84,000 —77,000 of which were taken on hand
since the 3d ,of July. We now have over five
thousand rebel officers in Oar hands, from Gen
erals down.
