Our Flag Forever
The Star-Spangled Banner
Ohl nay, can yen nee, by the dawn's early light,
What no proudly us hail'd at the twilight's last gleam
ing!
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through tho pet floes
light,
O'er the ramparts we watcli'd, were so gallantly stream•

And the rocket's rod glare, the bombs bursting in air,
gave proof through the night that our flag teas still there!
Ohl my, does that ntannpangled banner yet wave,
O'er the laud of the free, and the home of the butte
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foes haughty host in dread silence reposes,
'Mat is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam;
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream—
'Tis the star•spanglcd banner! Oh, long may it wave,
O'er the land of the free, nod the home of the brave I
And where is that band mho so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war, and the battle's confusion,
A hotno and a country should leave us no morel.
Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution;
No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
From the terror of flight or the gloom of tho gravel
And the stanspangled banner in tt imapit doth wave,
O'er the land of the fico, and the home of the laurel
Oh I thus ha it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and war's desolation!
Blessed with victory and peace, may the Heaven-rescued
lend
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a na

Then conquer a e must, when our rause it is just,
And this be our motto—" In God is our trust l"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave,
Vet the land of the Owe, and the home of the brave!

Important Military Movements.
The Washington correspondent of
the Press under date of the 16th says :
4, It is now decided . by Government
to push sixty thousand Eastern troops
into the West one-half of them
through Kentucky, and the other por
tion into Missouri. These, with the
Western troops going forward, will
swell the Western and Southwestern
armies to vast proportions. Out of
those pushing on into Missouri anoth
er wing will be formed, under a new
command, to proceed with the new
gunboats and transport steamers down
the Mississippi during the autumn
months. General Wool, it is thought,
will command the river fleet and ar
my. In these three branches of the
Union army there will be not less than
200,000 men, and the Government will
expect the most energetic movements
.at the hands of the officers in com
mand, and no rest until the Union has
asserted its authority and rebellion
has been thoroughly crushed out."
GOVERNMENT HORSES.—Some three
hundred horses have been inspected
here during yesterday and to-day.—
About three-fourths were rejected,
causing a heavy -fall in the price of
horse flesh. The speculators will suf
fer severely if they fail to get the re
fused horses off their hands. We are
not much of a judge of a horse, but
we certainly would not have offered
some of the horses as suitable for cav
alry. There were some fine animals
offered and accepted. Three or four
gentlemen declined to offer their hor
ses for inspection, as they objected to
the best being picked out of their lot.
,nr Thad. Banks, Esq., has been
elected to the Legislature from Blair
county. Mr. Banks was an indepen
dent candidate, and is a strong Union
Democrat. Cyrus L. Pershing, Esq.,
has also been elected to the Legisla
ture from Cambria county. John
Cessna, Esq., wo are sorry to say, was
defeated in the Bedford and Somerset
district by a small majority. _
CONIINDRUM.—What was the differ
ence between the contractors and their
horses at the inspection on Wednes
day ? The horses were rejected and
the contractors were dejected.
TREES.—Now is the time for persons
in want of fruit trees, to make their
selection from Taylor & Cremer's as
sortment. See their advertisement in
another column.
HOW SCOTT'S LIFE WAS SAVED.--The
following anecdote is told of the Pres
ident by The Boston Journal : " One
of the soldiers in the Vermont regi
ment to which private Scott, the sol
dier sentenced to be shot for sleeping
upon his post, belonged, relates an in
cident which shows in a strong light
the kind-hearted character of our
President. Scott was to be shot early
in the morning. On the afternoon be
fore, it was decided to pardon him, but
the place of his confinement was six
or seven miles from Washington.—
President Lincoln telegraphed to the
officer in charge of the execution, but
getting no reply, and fearing that his
message might have miscarried, he
went himself after dark to tbo encamp
ment, to make sure that all was ri,;ht."
Our Army Correspondence.
GREAT FALLS, VA., OCt. 6, 1861
EDITOR GLOBE:—On Wednesday last
our company (Co. I) wits another of
the. Fifth Regiment of the Reserves,
left Camp Tenafly on a march to this
point, for the purpose of reinforcing
some troops stationed here on picket.
About ten o'clock at night, we started!
from camp with tents and other equip
age, and what a march we lad ! The
distance was about 16 miles; the night
was pitchy dark, but away we went
over a rough, dreary mountain road,
with a merciless rain drenching us to
the skin. We have become used to
such hardships, and it was only fun for
us. We waded through mud up to
our knees, indeed some of us got in
up to our eyes. We reached our des
tination, however, about daylight the
next morning, and found a very small
village of about six or eight houses,
on the banks of the Potomac. The
houses were all deserted but two, and
they inhabited' by some filthy Irish,
who remained for the sake of making
money oft' the soldiers by selling pies,
&e., to them. Every house in the
vil
lage bears the marks of bombardment.
On the day before our arrival, the
rebels had been throwing shells at a
house where our pickets had been quar
tered, but, fortunately, there were none
in at the time. With their shells and
' balls, they added several more win
dows to the house, with the addition
of sundry sky-lights in the roof, which
let in rain as well as light, but doing
no further injury. Their pickets arc
about the width of the river from ours.
A few days ago they paid visits to each
other, and had some friendly talks to
gether, exchangine• '' caps and other
trifling articles. But ' this mutual
agreement was first broken by them.
On last Sunday morning, one of the
11th Regiment went down to the river
to wash. He and the rebel pickets
bade each other " ctood morning."—
They invited him to come across the
river and take breakfast with them.—
He made some excuse, however, and
was about returning, when they fired
upon him killing him instantly. Since
then, both they and we have kept at a
respectful distance, sheltering behind
trees or entrenchments. This a speci
men of Southern chivalry for you. This
is the way they keep their promises.
" You let us alone. and we will let you
alone." Our tents are pitched in a
graveyard, with a bill between us and
the ricer. Our company was out on
picket duty yesterday and last night,
about five miles farther up the river,
where I got a sight at a couple of their
pickets, but was not near enough to
get a shot. We could hear the drums
in their camp. This morning we were
reinforced by. a company of artillery.
who have been throwing shell at an
old barn across the river, in which it
is supposed some of the rebels are
quartered. At the first fire, we could
see their cavalry making their way
over the hill as fast as their horses
could carry them.

The Latest News.
Good News from Missouri
ROLLA, to., Oct. 14.—The report
brought here a day or two ago, that a
battle took place on the 27th ult., be
tween a body of Kansas troops, under
Montgomery and Jennison, and the
advance guard of McCulloch's rebel
army, under Judge Chenault, is con
firmed by parties just arrived from
Springfield.
The battle commenced near Shang
hae, in Barton county, and the rebels
were driven back, with considerable
loss, and pursued some forty miles.—
Montgomery then fell back on Green
field.
Great alarm was felt in Springfield
lest Montgomery should attack that
place, and the rebel troops there had
rested on their arms several nights.—
Montgomery is said to have had 3,000
men, and the rebels 2,400.
Disloyalty Rebuked in Conneoticut.
HARTFORD, Conn., October 15.—The
State Senate, by a vote of 12, yeas to
6 nays, to-day, passed a resolution or
dering the removal from the Senate
Chamber of tho portraits of Isaac Ton
coy and Thomas H. Seymour, on ac
count of their disloyalty.
From Washington
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—During last
night the rebels appeared on a hill
near Lewinsville and threw three thir
ty-pound shells into the division of our
troops occupying the advance in that
direction.
Great excitement immediately en
sued, and that line of the army was at
once under arms. Our pickets also
came in and reported that the rebel
pickets had fired on them, and there
had been brisk skirmishing during the
evening.
There was no further attack, how
ever. This morning our forces moved
forward, and now hold _Miner's Hill,
the rebels not being in sight.
An extensive reconnoissance,* in
force, is going on to-day, which will
develop° the position of the rebels.
Our forces now hold possession of
the railroad bridge at Harper's Ferry,
preparatory to the resumption of re
pairs on it.
WASHINGTON, Oet.ls.—The steamer
Wyandotte, which came up this morn
ing, reports all quiet down the river.
She lay undera.atthias Point ou last
Sunday, tranifiring stores to the
Howell Cobb, and neither vessel was
molested by the rebels, if any were
there.
The rebels were seen constructing a
work of some strength at Ship Point
on the Lower side of QuanCeo Point,
where, if they are not dislodged, they
may cause some annoyance.
It is thought, however, that the
work is merely defensive on the part
of the rebels, and with a view to pre
vent any landing of our forces therea
bout, supposing wo intended to tako
that route to Manassas or Richmond.
The schooner Dana was fired into
- by pickets from Normaine Cliffs, near
Matthias Point, last Saturday, but tho
Island Bell came up and sent a shell
among the bushes, which dispersed
the rebels.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—The follow
ing has been issued f4•om the head
quarters of the army as a special or
der.
" Fifty-seven of the United States
soldiers detained as prisoners in Rich
mond, having been released on taking
an oath not to bear arms against the
States in rebellion, an equal number of
the prisoners of war taken from those.
States and now confined in Washing
ton and New York, will be released on
taking the prescribed oath of allegi
ance to the United States, or an oath
not to engage in arms against_ the
United States. •
WistriNoToN, Oct. IG.—lt has been
ascertained that the rebels have with
drawn part oft-the force they have had
at Acquia Creek, and placed it in new
batteries, which yesterday fired on
some of our steamers. They have
mounted thirty-two pound guns in the
batteries, which occupy commanding
points on the river for a distance of
six miles. During last night they fired
on and sank a small pungy.
Despatches received this morning
from Gen. Banks' command represent
all quiet.
Rumors prevail that the rebels are
retreating from Leesburg.
General Anderson did not reach here
to-day, greatly to the disappointment
of the Philadelphia Committee ap
pointed to present a sword to him.—
Some of them have gone home.
It is believed here that the order
just issued, relative to an exchange of
prisoners, will speedily lead to an ex
change of nearly all on both sides.
Skies Brighter in Missouri.
[From filo St. Louis Republican, Oct lab.]
The latest intelligence from the West
encourages the belief that our State is
to be soon wholly freed from the pres
ence of any formidable force in arms
against the Federal army now occupi
ed here. Lexington .advises state the
situation of Price truly. Contrary to
the reports which represented it as
probable that ho would make a stand
at Georgetown, he is, no doubt, at this
time beating a rapid retreat by a road
much nearer to the Kansas frontier,
on his way to the Arkansas border.
There is a rumor, not a very improba
ble one, that he sent out a detachment
toward Sedalia ; but we doubt the
truth of even this rumor. His whole
force when he left Lexington, on the
30th ult., did not probably exceed 18,-
000 men. Sometime before that we
know that he had only 22,000. We
now speak of his regular force. The
unorganized irregulars and hangers on
were several thousand snore. But it
is probable that, only his regular force
accompanies him on his retreat. This
must be felt as a disaster by most of his
men, who will see nothing but a bar
ren victory in the capture of Lexing
ton. This feeling will dissatisfy and
depress to such an extent, as to occa
sion large withdrawals from an army
constituted like his, most of whom re
.gard themselves as in every sense of
the word volunteers. They are badly
provisioned in every respect, and the I
want of comfortable clothing and quar
ters will tell upon many of them as the
season advances. From Springfield, we
learn that there are not over 1,000,
Stale troops at that point, and that
McCulloch's camp does not number
over 1,600 more. McCulloch, it is said,
is expecting reinforcements from Ar
kansas, but perhaps Isis expectations
will be disappointed. Price's expedi
tion has been fruitless of any event '
having important bearings on the
nth's - Cant! conclusion orthe war here.
And so it is felt by his supporters and
immediate followers. If he had, as we
presume he had, only 18;000 men,
when he left Lexington, wo doubt
whether he can bring together 10,000
when he reaches the Arkansas border.
We have all along felt confident that
Jefferson City, much less St. Louis,
was in no danger of any attack of the
Confederate or State troops. It was,
some time since, highly probable that
Price, if he left Springfield, would pro
ceed to the point he did on the Mis
souri river. That point was in a com
paratively friendly region, and, one
full of such resources as his army need
ed to draw upon. When he started on
his late fruitless expedition, he proba
bly conceived the idea of taking up
winter quarters at Lexington, and
operating from that point. There
were many reasons in favor of such a
plan. Besides that it was in the heart
of a country capable of furnishing abun
dant supplies; it was a point from
which he could sally out with detach
ments, either to meet separated bodies
of the Federal troops, or to interrupt
their lines of communication. One
enterprise of this kind he set on foot,
when he sent 4,000 men across the
river to advance on the line of the Hau
-1 nibal and St. Joseph road with orders
to destroy the track with a view to the
stoppage of travel and transportation
by that route. That these troops were
so suddenly recalled, which was the
fact, (for it is an error to suppose they
were driven back by an enemy, as at
first reported,) is ono of the evidences
to show that a very sudden change in
the general plan had been resolved on.
No doubt Gen. Price was well in
formed as to the amount of opposition
I he would have to encounter at Lex
ington. Ho rightly calculated that he
would be able, by his overpowering
numbers, to take it from its defenders.
He falsely flattered his hopes with the
idea that so small a garrison there, so
long continued without r einforcements,
showed general inability to bring into
the field a force which would be formi
dable to him. He underrated the re
sources of the head of this department
I and the energy he was exerting to
bring together the necessary men and
material. The most authentic accounts
go to show that ho was qiffte ignorant
of the ability of the foe ke .w a was conten
ding with. Again, he 's, we are
persuaded, disappointed ,at not wit
nessing, as ho approached the heart of
the State, a general insurrection of the
people, and enthusiastic rally to his
standard. No doubt he had consider
able accessions to his numbers, and also
when the news spread that he had cap
tured Lexington. But he, as we be
lieve, soon discovered the extent to
which ho could calculate on such sup
port; and was disappointed and dis
heartened by its moderate proportions.
He was not welcomed and not sustain
ed as he expected. We have said he
was quite ignorant of the force likely
to be opposed to him, and so he was
until be got to Lexington. There he
received information which opened his
oyes, and convinced him that with all
the troops he could muster, it would
be madness for him to oppose them to
the arrayon this side. Hence the sud
den and complete change in his deter
mination and plans. Instead of win
tering in Lexington, he is seeking win
ter quarters in a much more southerly
latitude. He has suddenly aild • en
tirely abandoned all that he won. The
march to Lexington and the march
back again are a striking illustration
of another famous march to which it is
needless to allude more particularly.
But the evacuation of an important
post won is often—and may be in this
cast--equivalent to signal defeat. For
it is doubtful whether such defect
could have more demoralized his for
ces than the surrender of the fruits of
victory.
As to a rumor of a junction between
Price and McCulloch, and a movement
of their armies on Jefferson City, we
agree with those who deein any such
outgivings by the former as intended
simply to amuse and pacify his men.
If he is making such promises, he, is
deluding them, cons to keep them con
tent to follow m, in the hope, so often,
cherished by Wilkins Micawber, that
in the chapter of accidents, "something
may turn up." Of what that some
thing is, we, do not believe Gen. Price
has any clearer conception than had
his immortal prototype.
Without going, therefore, into any
detail to show the immense forces at
the command of Gen. Fremont—of
which we may presume he will make
a good use—we may congratulate
every friend of the peace and quiet of
Missouri on the present prospects.
Peace and quiet are what are wanted
by a very large majority of our citi
zens; and they will, we believe, Soon
enjoy it, at least in a measure far be
yond anything within their unhappy
experience for the last few memora
ble months.
A Southern Demand for a Forward
Movement.
[From the ItlchmoMl Despatch, of Sept. 23,1.]
i 4 EN AVANT."
The weather for the last two weeks
has been splendid. The earth, satura
ted heretofbre by an unusual quantity
of rain, has become thoroughly dried,
the streams have resumed- their origi
nal channels, or shrunk within their
usual borders. The atmosphere is ex
ceedingly brilliant, reminding us of
that purest of American seasons, the
Indian summer.' There never was
more propitious weather for military
operations. And we are reminded by
the date at the head of this day's is
sue, that the equinox is upon us, unac
companied by its usual concomitants
of clouds, rain and storms.
It seems as though Nature herself
had espoused our cause, and invited
us to come forward. We cannot al
ways calculate on her favors. In a
few days she may shroud herself in
clouds, and drench the earth once
more by rain. We hope our generals
will take advantage of the ovportunity,
and seize the initiative. Time, in mil
itary- matters, is victory, is triumph, is
everything, and we learn from the old
adage, that time is bald behind. He
must be seized by the forelock, or he
will forever elude the grasp.
We have not in this journal pre
sumed to criticise the movements of
the generals. We could not but see,
what all the world must have seen,
that a movement in advance one day,
or one Iveek, or even two weeks, after
the battle of Manassas, would have re
sulted ilyadvantage to our cause, which
it.is almost impossible. to 'conceive, or
less - to f ,-,estimato with mathematical
precisiog: liVe could not resist the be
lief thilrinen, who lied as the Yankees
had flea from that field, could not be
made to stand behind any fortifica
tions, how formidable soever they
might be, if attacked by strong arms
and resolute hearts. We could not be
induced to think that the respea - due
to tried veterans Ought to be paid to
those routed,
.terrified, discouraged,
panic-stricken relics of a military mob,
whom no persuasion of their officers,
and no sentiment of honor, bad in
duced to stand and look our army in
the face.
We feel confident that the best way
to deal with such men was to assail
them bodily, no matter what their
numbers might be, without waiting a
moment to count the cost of the as
sault. We are sure they would never
stand the test, for we know that they
were disbanding daily, that they were
totally regardless of military disci
pline, that they were strewed all over
Washington, lying drunk in the rum
shops, on the cellar doors, in the gut
ters, and thinking of nothing but get
ting back home. We were satisfied
then, we are satisfied now, that Wash
ington might have len taken by a
hundf'ull of men, alt.tvst by a charge
of cavalry. We could not understand
the advantages of delay. We know
nothing of military tactics; but the
modicum of common sense with which
we were gifted by our Creator, ena
bled us to doubt the policy which left
to a conquered and dispirited enemy
the leisure to recover from his terror,
to restore discipline, recruit his forces,
to drill his men, to erect gigantic for
tifications. But we said nothing of
all this, because our generals had the
matter in their own hands, and best
knew what they were capable of per
forming. When, therefore, wo learned
that their reason for not following a
panic stricken enemy twenty-five
was that they had not provision and
transportation sufficient to carry them
that distance, we thought the public
ought to. be satisfied.
We had read, nevertheless, that
Ctesar had pursued Pompey from the
plains of Thessaly to the sea beach of
Alexandria, after the battle of Phar
salia, although previously to that bat
tle he had been on the point of break
ing up his camp for want of provisions.
We had, moreover,_ read the first proc
lamation of Gen. Bonaparte to his ar
my in Italy, in which he tells them in
the course of fourteen days they had
gained six victories and destroyed two
armies; they had "gained battles with
out cannon, crossed rivers without pon
toons, made forced marches without
shoes, and watched all night under
arms without brandy and sometimes
even without provisions "—that they
had been " bereft even of necessaries
at the commencement of the cam
paign," but that now (at the date of
the proclamation) "they enjoyed plen
ty," for that " the magazines taken
from the enemy wei a ninperous."—
Still the public deeply as they were
chagrined at the disappointment, ac
quiesced in the apology for the gener
als that they had not transportation
and provisions for so short a distance,
and wo felt no disposition to disturb
its verdict.
Wo have already said that the ad
vantages whioh would have ensued to
the Confederate States .from an ad
vance at that period, lierenot to be
estimated by any Proce e vc known to
arithmetic. Some of them, hoWever,
lie so palpably on the surface that we
cannot forbear "to notice them in pas
sing: We Should have captured the
city of Baltimore, purged it of the foul
vermin who converted it into a nest
for their tribe. We should have pre
vented the abduction and incarcera
tion of our friends, who have been ab
ducted and incarcerated only because
they wore ' our friends. We should
have captured the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, and,' by throwing a strong
body of troops upon the rear of the
Yankee marauders in Western .Vir
ginia, have rendered their capture and
destruction inevitable. We should
have protected North Carolina froth
invasion. We should have arrested
the progress of the Yankee arms in
Missouri, and placed that gallant State
in her true position. We should have
enabled Kentucky to purge off the vile
locusts that infest her. We should
have entered the Yankee territory,
and made them tremble for their own
capital. We should have taken Phil
adelphia, and held it as a pledge for
the withdrawal of Lincoln's scoundrels
from Fortress Monroe, and that of his
fleet from the bloCkade of our ports.
In a word, we should have gone into
the midst of the Yankees, broken up
their military organization, held Bos
ton and New York at our feet, com
pelled them to sue for terms, and ex
acted ample indemnity for all their
robberies, all their injuries, and all
their insults.
Secession Barbarities.
The Louisville Journal says: Two
or, three weeks ago a couple of men
from an Illinois regiment, in Missouri,
started out to pass a few hours in a
scouting and hunting expedition. As
they did not return, a squad of sol
dier& wa& sent out the next day in
search of them. 'After
_going a few
miles, the soldiers • met a person, who
informed them that, at a place which
he named, he had seen two men, like
those they described, fired on by a doz
en Secessionists, who were prowling
through that region. They went to
the place, and found one, and only one,
of their lost comrades. His legs and
arms had been cut .off and laid across
each other upon his body; his head,
severed from the trunk, was set up
right upon his chest, and the figures
19, the number of his regiment, were
marked with his own blood upon his
arms.
Over the mutilated body of the vic
tim, the soldiers knelt and swore an
awful oath to take no prisoners. The
Secessionists are giving to this war a
most appalling character. As a cotem
porary justly remarks, the transform
ing power of the terrible evil which
has broken out like some deadly pesti
lence amongst the people of the United
States, converting individuals supposed
to be civilized into barbarians, seems
to have no likeness in history ; the
cruelties it has suddenly engendered
can find no parallel except in that Se
poy rebellion which made the Christian
world shudder as its details became
, known. In Western Virginia, it has
taken to midnight burning of dwellings
occupied, in the absence of the heads
Pf_thefamilits—only_mhehile.ss_women
and children, the escapes related in
two cases being the narrowest that it
is possible to imagine; whilst every
outrage known to the criminal colon
' der seems to run riot in Kentucky and
Missouri. The destruction ofrailroads
and bridges, where the lives of the in
nocent are not involved in the catas
trophe, have really come to be the
milderphasos of the fearful visitation ;
and a man might as well bo one of a
party cast ashore on the Cannibal
Islands of the Pabific as be exposed to
the tender mercies of the Disunionists
in too many portions of our but lately
law-abiding and happy land.
The truth is, it is coming to that in
the history of this terrible heresy that
no terms can be made with it by a
civilized people. It has created—es
pecially on the frontiers—a condition
of things never conceived of by those
who contemplated its course in the
outset. There it has taken by - the
hand the savages—red men—who, in
too many cases, have disgraced them
selves by the association, it is prowling
through the land on its destructive
mission, and carrying terror and de
vastation to thousands of happy homes.
When men are disposed to welcome
pestilence let them welcome it; but so
long as they would put afar off the
worst evils that bring death to their
doors, let them make no terms with
this evil visitant.
PLUCK OF TIM HOOSIER GlRLs.—The
