Our Flag Forever.
To the Citizens of Huntingdon and
of the County.
The Sanitary Commission has made
an appeal to the women of America,
for articles which will add greatly to
the comfort of our sick and wounded,
and we in turn must ask assistance
from the people of the town and
neighborhood before we can respond
to the call. As it is a matter in which
every individual is interested, commit
tees have been appointed to canvass
the town, and visit every family and
store. The Commission has pressing
need for the following articles, and ask
that they contribute of such as they
may have by them. Yarn, or money
to purchase it, woolen stockings, and
mittens with one finger, to allow free
use of the first finger and thumb, tow
els, pocket-handkerchiefs, white Can
ton flannel or pieces of colored, for
making the tops of slippers, woolen
flannel, white or colored, bleached or
unbleached muslin for night-shirts and
drawers, 'dark calico or gingham of
fast colors, for pillow cases, being pref
erable to white in hospitals, ticking
for pillows, blankets, common quilts,
small hair or feather pillows, or cush
ions for fractures, woolen or Canton
flannel bed-gowns, wrappers, large
sized slippers, green silk eye shades,
sewing cotton, tape, pins, &c., farina,
arrow root, corn starch, cocoa, choco
late, rice flour, oat-meal, dried fruits,
pickles, dried herbs, wines, jellies, syr
ups, cologne water, camphor, aromat
ic vinegar, bay rum, drugs, &e., &c.,
checker and backgammon boards,
books for desultory reading, and mag
azines, especially if illustrated.
All bottles should be labelled and
closely cemented, and jellies are di
rected to have a covering of white
:sugar to the depth of half an inch to
prevent fermentation, and stout paper,
(not brandied) pasted over the mouth,
or put into stone bottles or jars, and
well corked and sealed. The contribu
tions can be sent to the house of Mrs.
Wm. Orbison, senior, before Thursday,
Nov. 14th, upon which day the next
meeting of the society will be held.—
Persons from the country wishing to
give to the cause, can leave their con
tributions at Mr. Lewis' Book Store,
or at Mrs. Orbison's, and whenever
known, acknowledgments shall be
made to all not residents of the town,
and a list of their names kept. Why
cannot the County participate in this
'movement, and something worth
while be done before the freezing
weather is upon us and our gallant
fellows in the field—and, although it
is our prayer that articles "for the
sick and wounded" may not be need
ed by those dear to us, yet it will
cheer their hearts, to hear that friends
at home have not forgotten them and
their possible wants.

THE HORSE INSPECTION AOAIN.: -
Horses were rushed through on Tuts
day last, without respect to age, color,
or soundness. The inspector, Mr.
Henry Shcrbone, appeared to be deter
mined to ride over public opinion in
the most insulting manner. He is
either no judge of a horse or a great
scamp, for a number of horses were
forced upon the Government by his
inspection, that no man of the least
common sense would give $2O a head
for. They are not, nor never will be,
worth a cent to the Government.
We have learned since our last issue,
that five hundred horses were put in
on a contract of ex-Senators Soothers
& Sellers, and fivo hundred on a con
tract of Senator McClure: Sub-con
tractors bought up the horses and had
them inspected—the principal contrac
tors pocketing their share of the plun
der without performing any labor or
running any risk. A Mr. Brough, of
Franklin county, we understand, filled
the contract of Senator McClure, and
Mr. Colon, who was one of the pur
chasers for the Soothers & Sellers con
tract, says that all, or nearly so, of the
bad horses, were offered by Mr. Brough
or through his agency. We should
like to get all those of our citizens
who were in any wise connected with
the contracts, out of the uncomforta
ble position they have got into. The
war may have an end, but the raseali
ties practised upon the Government in
this place during the past two weeks,
in the horse business, will never be
forgotten.

WAR NEWS.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Great Rise in the Potomac
WASIIINGTON, ePotomac
has not been known to be so high for
many years as it is at present. The
water is twenty feet above its usual
mark. The Long Bridge is covered
several feet on the Virginia side, and
all crossing has been suspended since
yesterday afternoon. The Govern
ment ferries at Georgetown have also
blien stopped—the water being four
feet above the landings. The only
communication now with Virginia for
teams is by the Chain Bridge, and the
travel by that route is consequently in
creased to a constant jam. The debris
coining down is very great, and many
of the dead bodies from Edwards's
Ferry will unavoidably float past with
out being discovered.
Recovery of Victims of the Ball's Bluff
13112
Owing to the rise in the water in the
Potomac a number of bodies of sol
diers drowned at the battle of Ball's
Bluff have floated hitherward. In ad
dition to the five mentioned yesterday
as having been recovered at the Chain
Bridge, thirteen have been draw from
the river in the vicinity of Washington
and Georgetown, and one near Fort
Washington, twelve miles below this
city. The recovered bodies have been
buried.
Beginning of the Forward Movement
From every indication a large face
of our army will be in possession of
Fairfax before dark. This point 'n•ill
be strongly fortified before our troops
move on Centreville.
The Transportation Business.
The Conestoga Wagon Express has
been fully organized, and the teams
arc arriving almost hourly. Some of
them carry seven ty.five hundred
pounds, and are drawn by six nudes
or horses. These wagons are mostly
from Baltimore, and York and Lancas
ter counties, Pa. Messrs. J. S. Gibbons
& Co.,thc pioneers of the line, inform use
that they are now receiving goods, by
rail and wagon, in three days . from
Now York and two days from Phila
delphia. They have established branch
es in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New
York.
What Pennsylvania Has Done
The reports of the different Depart
ments arc being prepared, to be sent
in at the meeting of Congress. It will
he conclusively shown that Pennsyl
vania has furnished the Government
with over thirteen thousand more
troops than any other State. This will
be gratifying intelligence to the loyal
citizens of the old Keystone.
The Army.
WASHINGTON NOV. s.—Th e Com
mander-in-chief of the army is not out
of the city to-day, and the telegraph
reports all quiet over the river. The
water in the Potomac is falling rapidly,
and communication will be immediate
ly resumed by the Long Bridge and
Government ferries. Though not no
ted by newspaper reporters, it is no
violation of good faith to state that
the army trains are daily engaged in
transporting shot and shell, heavy can
non, and powder to Virginia. This
morning forty loads of shot and shell
were carried over; and the army,
though not fighting, are daily and cid
igently employed in preparations to
that end.
The News from the Fleet
The intelligence from the fleet con
firms the impression entertained here
that it did not experience the storm in
its violence, and that it made a stroke
on Monday, but where it is not stated.
On Friday they were off Cape Fear,
N. C., and on Saturday off Cape Re
main, one hundred miles further south,
and within forty miles of Charleston.
The intelligence comes via Hampton
Roads, and is considered reliable at
the War Department. It will remove
the anxiety felt in consequence of the
storm.
Ruiners are current at Willard's to
night, that the fleet has attacked
Charleston, though it is not generally
believed.
FROM MISSOURL
General Fremont Receives his Order to
Retire from Command.—Great Excite

ing and Encamped on Wilson's Creek.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Nov. 3.—Yester
day small bodies of the enemy came
within twelve miles of us, and news
was received of the approach of their
advance guard, 2,800 strong.
Preparations were being inade to go
out and attack them when Gen. Fre
mont received the unconditional order
from Washington relieving him at once
from the command of the Western de
partment.
Simultaneously, the newspapers ar
rived announcing the fact*. The intel
ligence spread like wildfire through
the camps, and created indescribable
excitement and indignation.
A great number of the officers signi
fied their intention to resign at once,
and many companies laid down their
arms, declaring that they would fight
under no one but Fremont.
The General spent much of the af
ternoon expostulating with the officers,
and urging them by their patriotism
and their personal regard for him not
to abandon their posts.
He also issued the following farewell
address to the troops:
IL. Q. OF THE WESTERN DEVT.,
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. Nov. 2.
Soldiers of the Mississippi Army :
Agreeably to orders this day re
ceived, I take leave of you.
Our army has been ofsudden growth,
and we have grown up together, and
I have become familiar with the brave
and generous spirits which you bring
to the defence of your country, and
which makes me anticipate for you a
brilliant career.
Continue as you have begun, and
give to my successor the same cordial
and enthusiastic support with which
you have encouraged inc. Emulate
the splendid example which you have
already before you, and let me remain
as I am, proud of the noble army which
I had thus fitr labored to bring together.
Soldiers, I regret to leave you most
sincerely. I thank you for the regard
and confidence you have invariably
shown to me. I deeply regret that I
shall not have the honor to lead you to
the victory which you are just about
to win; but I shall claim to share with
you in the joy of every triumph, and
trust always to be fraternally remem
bered by my companions-in-arms.
JOILN 0. FREMONT,
Major General I,J. S. A.
The feeling ran intensely high du
ring the whole of last evening, and
there were meetings held almost every
where. The various bands serenaded
the general, and whenever he appeared
he was greeted with cheers.
Though notifying Gen. Hunter, as
his order directed, that he had no lon
ger command over the troops, General
Fremont spent several hours in making
a personal examination of the ground
about the city to be prepared for a
battle, and, in accordance with a writ
ten request from all the brigadier gen
erals here, he remained through the
night, ready to lead the army in case
of attack.
All the troops slept on their arms,
and many officers remained at their
posts all night, an attack being hourly
expected; but nothing occurred, more
than the firing on our pickets on two
different roads.
The enemy are now encamped on
the old Wilson Creek battle ground.
Gen. Fremont ,is prepared to leave
for St. Louis, and will go as soon as
General Pope arrives, the latter having
been sent forward to take command till
Gen. Hunter gets here.
Gen. Fremont will permit no demon
stration from the troops on his depart
ure.
SPRINCUTELD; Nov. 3.—General Fre
mont and staff left for St. Louis this
morning. He is accompanied by his
body-guard, and will reach St. Louis
on Wednesday.
FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA
WAsnixoTox, Nov. J. . fin official
telegram dated to-day, states General
Floyd's foreo at 7,000, and that Ben
ham and Sc.:bench's brigade were fol..
lowing bins on the new road.
The despatch is extremely hopeful
of a brilliant victory, and the prospect
is cheering.
Another telegram from Cleveland,
dated last night, states that the Kan
awha boat had just passed Maysville,
Ky., and reported that Gen. Roseerans
had repulsed Floyd, and at last ac
counts Generals Bonham and Schenck
had got in his rear, and it was thought
that Floyd's force would be captured
by them.
A correspondent at Camp Wild
cat, Kentucky, just after the battle,
gives the following sad, but interesting
account of the Tennesseans in and out
of the Wildcat Battle :
"Two regiments of East Tennessee
refugees left Camp Dick Robinson,
forty-four miles distant, the morning
before the battle, and had reached a
place for encampment two mites and
a half from the field, when the night
attack was heard. Though much de
bilitated by sickness, and wore down
by the length of the march, they star
ted at the firing, and cane up at a
double quick, ready and eager for ac
tion. But all was now quiet, and tho
poor fellows were sadly disappointed.
Going over the battle-field next day,
they found among the rebel dead many
acquaintances, neighbors, cousins,
brothers, and, in one instance, a father.
fled they arrived a few hours earlier,
they would have met them on the
field of carnage. Such arc the fruits
of this miserable rebellion,"
Exchange of Prisoners.
[Correspondence of tho Philadelphia
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 1801.—There
is one thought which is so deeply en
shrined in the popular heart—so re
peatedly- and anxiously discussed at
thousands of hearth-stones, that it is
no longer possible to prevent its formal
and public expression. There are so
many sacred interests involved in it,
that the theories of diplomacy must
give way before it, precisely as all mere
plausibilities subside in the presence of
a stern and inexorable necessity. I al
lude to the question of exchanging the
patriotic soldiers of the Republic, now
prisoners in the seceded States, for the
rebel prisoners of the Federal Govern
ment. The allegation that, if our Gov
ernment shall agree to this exchange,
it will thereby recognize the rebellion,
sinks into utter insignificance when
contrasted with the overwhelming ar
guments which demand generous and
candid action on the part of our au
thorities. Beforeprocceding to discuss
this idea of recognition (which, I think,
can be satisfactorily disposed of,) let
us calmly review the reasons that
should weigh with the President and
his Cabinet in deliberating upon this
question. The first duty of a Govern
ment engaged in a war of such magni
tude as that which has aroused the en
thusiasm of our own people, and the
sympathies of the civilized world, is to
see that every honorable advantage is
secured to the brave men who are
fighting our battles. This is no rose
water war, in Which no lives are to be
lost and no prisoners taken. This war
is no rivalry between an overwhelm
ing force, myriad handed and irresist
ible, against a puny and contemptible
set of fugitives, but a struggle between
two great armies—the one contending
for the existence of the only free Gov
ernment on God's foot-stool, and the
other fighting with demoniac despera
' tion to
g ive organization and effect to
a stupendous treason—its leaders stim
ulated by the fear that defeat will be
their own annihilation, and their fol
lowers fired with the infatuation that
they arc battling in a righteous cause.
If our preparations are immense, so are
theirs. Whatever may be said, all ad
mit that they have achieved some
iiii
portant successes, and are capable of
achieving more, and thus that the
chances of war, in spite of all the pre
cautions we can take, will enable them
to overpower detachments of our troops,
and gain possession of other Union
prisoners. The national army num
bers nearly half a million of men, who
have voluntarily risked their lives in
defence of the Government, and are
willing to expose themselves to the
direful hazards of the -battle-field—
who have sacrificed the comforts of
peaceful, and, in many eases, luxurious
homes—and who, in turn, have a right
to demand that they will be shielded
from all unnecessary privations—that
they will not be, exposed to any dan
gers from which troops in the service
of any other nation are exempt and
that whatever steps the Administra
tion can take, consistent with a vigor
ous prosecution of the war, to protect
them, shall be cheerfully taken.
The flag they follow should be their
panoply and their Bulwark in every
peril. As iL covers and strengthens
the citizen in peace, so should it cover
and strengthen the citizen in war. It
has been truly said, that, unless we es
tablish a system of exchanging priso
ners, the patriotic soldier goes into the
conflict with many chances against
him, and the very flag he adores is of
little practical use to him. lie may
lose his life. lie may be wounded, ta
ken prisoner, and thrown in to the hands
of an infuriated enemy, left to die, un
cared for, or he may be captured, and
sent, in good health, to a crowded den,
subject to all the ills that" flesh is heir
to"—disease, starvation, want of cloth
ing, and every manner of opprobrium.
It is notorious that, whether because
of the malignity of the rebels, or be
cause they had no medicines to admin
ister our sick prisoners, many of these
gallant fellows have perished since they
have been carried into the seceded
States. Some have fallen victims to
the typhoid and other fevers, and many
more have been conveyed through
Richmond, to different points, objects
of the insolent curiosity of those who
came to gaze and laugh at the "Yankee"
captives.
Now, when we attempt to realize the
feelings of these brave men, we can
easily sympathize with the remark of
one of them, who said that, unless the
principle of exchanging prisoners is
adopted, he would prefer death to a
capture by the Secession hordes; but
we can much more readily imagine
the feelings of thousands of loyal finn
ilies who are interested in the gallant
men still confined in the pestilential
jails of the South—who pray for their
return, who wonder why they are not
released, who do not stop to discuss
the fine-drawn speculations of theoret
ic statesmen, who ask each other, day
and night, what have our husbands,
'Mters, sons and brothers done , that
they are deprived of the benefit of a
custom that has been recognized when
ever civilized peoples have been at
war. Per instance, what an irresisti
ble appeal can be made to the passions
and prejudices of these deeply interest
ed parties by a malignant enemy of
the cause when he tells them that
nearly seven hundred Americans were
taken prisoners at the blundering re
connoissance or battle of Ball's Bluff—
a mistake not theirs! It was their
duty to obey orders. It was their glo
ry to fight. It was the fhte of some to
die under the lbeman's fire—others to
perish in the treacherous deep, others
to fall into the hands of the victorious
enemy.
There is one way, at least, partially
to atone for this bloody blunder, this
monstrous mistake, At a moderate
estimate, ten thousand of your own
people are directly interested in the
release of the Philadelphia portion of
our troops connected with the Califor
nia regiment, taken prisoners on the
occasion referred to. According to
the official statement, only eighteen of
these men were killed in actual battle;
of the remainder, many were lost in
attempting to cross the river; others
were captured wounded and bleeding;
and others, still, were captured unhurt,
and sent forward to the dens at Rich
mond waiting their reception.'
would be, I think, a sorry return for
the memorable valor of these heroic
men, if the wounded were permitted
to die in these stifling prisons, and the
healthy were left to the ravages of
certain disease. Let them be released
by an honorable exchange. Let the
rebels, now confined, comfortably and
hospitably treated, near Boston, who
were taken at Hatteras inlet, be sent
back, if you please, to renew their war
in favor of a dishonored cause, and lc
the insulted, hall-starvcd, and badly
clothed, patriotic soldiers, still held by
the rebel leaders, be returned to the
army, that they may renew their glo
rious efforts in favor of our imperisha
ble cause. Thus would not only Ball's
Bluff bo partially atoned for, but the
same spirit manifested in reference to
other prisoners would carry joy to
thousands of loyal hearts; give back
to us some of the choicest jewels of our
army; thrill the army itself with now
enthusiasm; make the Administration
more popular, stimulate enlistments;
help forward the loan; and crush out
the miserable insinuations of the inter
nal traitors, who aro charging that the
President and his Cabinet are, for the
sake of mere theory, forgetting and
sacrificing some of the purest and no
blest of our champions.
Now let us consider the argument
of those who contend that an exchange
of prisoners would result in an injudi
cious recognition of the Southern re
bellion. The desirability of the accom
plishment of that end is universally
recognized by our soldiers and states
men. The subject has repeatedly at
tracted the attention of our Govern
ment, in various shapes, and some of
our commanders have assumed the
responsibility of independent action in
reference to it. When Gen. McClellan
captured a largo body of rebel prison
ers in Western Virginia, the Adminis
tration directed, as it had previously
done with a company of Secession cav
alry, surprised near Alexandria, that
the prisoners should be released on ta
king the oath of allegiance—a condi
tion that has been of little or no bene
fit to our cause. Since then, when a
small body of the Union prisoners
were released at Richmond, our Gov
ernment evinced its anxiety; to secure
the release of the remaindSby prompt
ly setting at liberty an equal number
of Secession prisoners. Brigadihr Gen.
John A. McClernand, in command at
Cairo, Illinois, a short time ago volun
tarily proposed to General Polk, in
command of the rebel forces at Colum
bus, Kentucky, to unconditionally dc
liver his Secession prisoners—an offer
which was at once responded to by his
opponent. General Evans, in com
mand of the forces near _Leesburg, Va.,
in reply to a letter from Gen. Stone,
requesting information in regard to the
disposition which had been made of
the Union prisoners captured at the
late battle, stated that he would imme
diately communicate with the "rebel
Government in relation to their ex
change, and on Friday last a lieuten
ant of the United States navy arrived
here from his prison in Richmond, to
make an urgent appeal in favor of the
release of his recent companions in
misfortune. - The only thing that pre
vents those who, direct the operations
of both armies fronieffeeting the ob
ject they profess mutually to have in
view, is the diplomatic question in
volved in the official recognition of the
rebel conspiracy. Bat have not all the
negotiations alluded to, indirectly recog
nized the overmastering necessity of an
exchange of prisoners? Is it right, on
a mere point 'of diplomatic ethiffettis;'
to unnecessarily jeopardize the lives of
many of our bravest and noblest sons ?-
The exigencies of the war have ren
dered absolutely imperative the fre
quent interchange of flags of truce, a
still more direct recognition of the
belligerent attitude of the conspiracy.
Since, therefore, whatever principle is
involved in this point has been repeat
edly abandoned, what practical benefit
can be derived from a further persis
tent assertion of it ? There is scarce
ly an important camp along our whole
line from which flags of truce have
not at some time been sent forth or re.
ceived. At Fortress Monroe, it is no
uncommon occurrence for small rebel
steamers to run within the very shad.
ow of its walls, and to flaunt the rebel
flag, accompanied by the military sym-
bol of peace, 'immediately beneath our
own glorious ensign. Any arrange
ment we can make to mitigate the hor
rors of the war, as a warlike necessity,
cannot be construed into a political
recognition of the so-called Confeder
ate Government. There is a wide dif
ference between the formal acknowl
edgment of the military power of a
rebellion and an official recognition of
the independence of the States which
maintain it. European nations already
talk of the so-called Southern Confed
eracy as a formidable belligerent, even
while they refuse to admit it into the
family of nations.
There is, therefore, so much to gain
and so little to lose by an exchange of
prisoners, that I hope a system will
very soon be adopted by which the
prisoners who belong to your city and
to other loyal portions of the country
may be returned to tlig itrtny or to
their friends. OCCASIONAL.
Destructive Flood,
[From the ShilloyAmig Herald Nov. 5.]
The greatest flood that Aughwiek
has experienced in fourteen years, oc
curred on Sunday. An incessant rain
fell during Friday night, Saturday and
Saturday night—raising the creek to
within three feet of the memorable
flood of 1847. The destruction offen
ces is very great, and considerable corn
is also carried away. The bridge
across Fort Run, below town, on the
Mount Union road, was swept away.
Every little stream in the country
seems to have swollen to a torrent, and
spring -houses, &c., were completely
flooded. Ono family in German -Val
ley (Michael Irroutzy) were obliged to
evacuate their house, it being flooded
by the rising of an adjacent rivulet.
The fulling mill of Messrs. Jlertzler
was flooded—there being at ono ti Me
about seven feet of water in the low

bridge across the Aughwick near Eby's
mill gave away, and the bridge nar
