THE WouNnto.—Captain Simpson, Lieut George Thomas, Lieut Wm 0 Wagoner, J Randolph Simpson, M B Brenneman, Joshua R ICuode, and J Easton Robb, have been brought home by their friends and are in town doing well. All will recover. David R Shorthill is also at home, on Broad Top. His wound, we understand, is more severe than those of the 'boys' we have named, still there is hopes he may recover. The brave wounded 'boys' have been very much scattered —some arc at Harrisburg, some at Ha gerstown, and some have been taken to Frederick. CAPTAIN Wharton's company, from this place and Walker and Penn town ships, and Captain Bucher's company from Alexandria, arrived home on Saturday evening. Captain Johnston's company got home with us on Thurs day night. Captain Wharton was elected Major of his regiment. It will give us pleasure to publish the roll of each company if the officers will hand them in.

The 125th Regiment, This morning we received from our friend S G Baker, of the 125th, a list of killed and wounded of his regiment. It is about as complete as the lists we had previously received and give in to-day's Globe. We must, however, give an extract from his letter: "In the battle of Antietam, Sept. 17, 1862, the gallant 125th done her duty, being under a galling fire for over 13 hours, but acted cool and brave, although badly cut up. We were furthest in front when we receiv ed a terrible fire from the rebs, but re turned the same with deadly slaugh ter; twice were we ordered to cease firing and fall back but did not heed until we were completely flanked both on the right and left wing and without support, It was in this charge that we lost our Adjutant and Acting Major _Robert 31 Johnson of Williamsburg; be fell wounded in the hip and expired in about 48 hours. Many were the hair-breadth escapes, and it is a com mon thing to sec men with holes thro' their caps, coats, equipments, &e." Editor's Correspondence HEADQUARTERS COMP.

An old soldier, in appealing lately to his son to go and fight for the Gov ernment and the - Union, said : " Perhaps you have never thought what your country means. It is all that surrounds you—all that has brought you up and fed you—all that you have loved. This country that you sec—these houses, these trees, those girls that go along there laugh ing—this is your country ! The laws which protect you, the bread which pays your work, the words you inter change with others, the joy and grief which come to you from the men and things among which you live—this is your country ! The little room where you used to see your mother, the re membrances which she has left you, the earth where she rests—this is your country ! You see it, you breathe it, everywhere. Think to yourself, of your rights and duties, your affections and your wants, your past and your present blessings; write them all under a single name—and that name will he your Country. We owe it all that we are, and he who enjoys the advantages of having a free country, and does not accept the burden of it, forfeits hi honor, and is a bad citizen. Po for your country what you would do litr your father and mother. Your coun try is in danger." The Draft postponed in Pennsylvania. HEAD Q uARTErts PENNA. NILITIA, Harrisburg, Sept. 23, 1562. GENERAL ORDER, NO. 37. The call made upon the people of Pennsylvania for fifty thousand volun teers to resist the threatened invasion of the State, was nobly and promptly responded to, and thus thousands were deprived of their right of appeal under the regulations pending for the coming draft. This right inur,t. not be forfeit ed by a patriotic effort to guard onr State against the advance of a ruthless foe, and the postponement of the - draft becomes a necessity that I cannot but respect. _Notwithstanding the earnest efforts of the officers charged with the duties of preparing for the draft, the city of Philadelphia and the counties of Alio ghany, Erie, Luzerne, Montgomery, and caws, embracing more than one third of the entire population of the State, cannot be prepared to make the draft, with justice to these citizens, at the time appointed, nor for some days thereaft,3r. In Philadelphia and several other sections of the State where the tempo rary residents arc numerous, it has been found impossible to ascertain with any degree of accuracy the pro per credits to be allowed for men in the service without resorting to the de scriptive rolls at Washington. To avoid manifest injustice to those dis tricts the number of men they have contributed to the service must be thus ascertained before the draft shall be made. J3clieving that the execution of so high a prerogatire by the Government as a draft of its people should, above all consideration, commend itself to the highest sense of justice and impar tiality of the citizens, for the reasons before stated, the draft in Pennsylva nia is hereby postponed until Thurs day, the 10th day of October, 1802. The Commissioners of the several counties will fix a time, at some con venient point in their respective coun ties, to hear applications for exemp tions of persons now in the service of the State, and who have not already had the opportunity to attend such ap peal. Should the draft be made in any of the counties on the 25th inst., because of the failure of this order to roach the Commissioners, the draft made will he valid in all respects, but the men draft ed will be permitted to resume their respective vocations until the 10th clay of October, when they will be called into the service. By order, A. G. CURTIN. A. L. IitISSCH, Adj. Gen. Pennsylvania - km- NEWS From Gen, McOleilan's Artny. HEADQUARTERS, Tuesday Evening, September 23.—Information received to-day, from a servant who deserted from the rebels yesterday, shows that their loss in General officers, in the late battle, was greater than was at first supposed. General Wright, of Georgia, was wounded in two places. Gen. Branch, of North Carolina. killed. General LongstiTeL was wounded Major General .linierson, command ing a division, wounded. Gen. Colquitt, of Georgia, killed The rebels admit their loss to be 20,000 at the battle of Antietam, and 30,000 since they entered Maryland. The Alabama Brigade, commanded by Col. Corning, -\ cling Brigadier- General, has not been able Lo master fifty men since the battle. The residents of this section of Ma ryland have suffered terribly since its occupation by the two armies. In many cases finnilies who a few days ago were in comfort:0)1(3 circumstanc es, are now wattling the necessaries of life. All the Range, fuel and also subsistence used by the army, wheth er in the regular way, by a responsi ble oflicer, or taken indiscriminately by those in want, is promptly paid for by General Ingalls, Chief Quarter master of the army, and Col. Clark. Chief of Subsistence, upon the proper affidavits being made. The claims of those whose farms have been laid waste and buildings destroyed during the battle, arc refer red to the authorities at Washington for settlement. A people so loyal, and who have sacrificed so much for the Union as those in this section, are not only deserving of the sympathy of every lover of the Union, but the Gov ernment should take the matter in hand, and instantly relieve their wants. The movements of the rebel army arc mysterious. The military au thorities hero feel satisfied that the whole rebel army is stilt on the oppo site side of the river, information to that effect having been received to day. Gen. Lee is also there. Their intentions arc not yet devel oped, but an attempt to re-occupy Maryland must he considered imprac ticable. Without tents, and, in many eases, without shoes or blankets, the present position of the rebel army would be very uncomfortable if a cold rain should occur. With the present weather, overcoats and blankets are almost indispensable at night. Sit.IIIVSTIITRO, MOliday, September 22..—Aftcr the sharp and bloody works of last week, which scoured this locality with shot and shell, bu ried beneath the now peaceful earth some thousand of war's victims, and left in the hospitals still more thous ands of wounded and maimed suffer ers, there has come a lull, in which the contending armies are lying quiet ly, with the Potomac between, await ing developments, which, at no dist ant day, will probably bring them again into collision. It may be presumed that, after such fighting as that of Wednesday, men and officers on both sides have a mutu al respect for each other's prowess, and that twit lw will rush unadvised ly upon a - nrir v ,:conte-it, wit hoot crlcllyir , 7: - tine all the precautions that general-; ship and military skill can suggest. In that grandstrufx4lo we Woh 0 de cided ad forcing vantage in the enemy to forego their invasion Of Maryland and Pennsylvania, and there is no im perative reason why what was earned at such great loss of the nation's life and Mood should be imperilled by pre cipitancy. Since the reconnoissance across the Potomoe at Clarksburg, on Saturday last, perfect quiet has reigned along the lines, a quiet that liar scarcely been disturbed by even the skirmish ing of pickets. We hold the river at Sharpsburg in strong force, whilst the rebels occup}• the opposite bank, but it is thought not in force. Williamsport we also occupied in sufficient strength to resist any hostile demonstration there. Harper's Fer ry is likewise in our possession, and we thus stand in a position to clieelc any re-invasion of the State, or recom mence offensive operations whenever General McClellan so determines. In the meantime, the army is not idle. The new regiments are receiv ing the instructions necessary to per fect them as soldiers; for, though their elan end dash in the great battle are everywhere referred to with ad miration, it is not less true that they were not equal to the trying position in which they were placed by the emergencies of the fight. The army, moreover, is not still.— Largo columns were in motion to-day, going in a direction that it is not prop er to mention. A regiment of cavalry crossed the river last night about 3 miles from Sharpsburg, on a reconnois sance. The rebels showed themselves in the edge of the woods, but made no demonstration. The little village of Sharpshurg is literally overwhelmed by the army. Soldiers swarm everywhere, and di visions move in so many directions that the, eye becomes confused in the attempt to study out or detect the pur pose of ‘vliat is going on. Gen. McClellan's headquarters are in the vicinity, and he may be seen several times a day moving about, overlooking and directing the move ments in progress. Just outside of Sharpsburg is a small encampment of hospital tents, accom modating the wounded rebels, left in their retreat. They number three or four hundred and include many severe eases. Two of their Surgeons remain with and have charge of them. They also receive from our Surgeons all the at tention and supplies they need. There are not many officers among them that aro of a higher grade than Cap tains. The battle-field of Wednesday is dai ly trampled by a small army of curi osity seekers. They come from the West, North and East, and win their way hero by all sorts of contrivances. The conveyances from Frederi.o, - , and Hagerstown conic one loaded down, and many more even walk. The own ers of horse flesh in these towns are reaping a harvest. The hold is now pretty well cleared of all material evidences of the strug gle, but of course will long retain ib; 1= interest as the scene of one of the stout est fights of modern days. The dead have all been buried except the black and putrid bodies of some poor fellows who have crept into secluded corners and thus escaped the search of the bu rying parties. The wounded have all been removed —those who could bear transportation —to Hagerstown, Charnbersburg, Har risburg, and other places. A number of the more dangerously wounded, whom it would have been death to re move any distance, still remain in the houses and barns in the vicinity of the field, which have been fitted up as tem porary hospitals. Good News from Kentucky LOUISVILLE SAFE. Arrival' of Gen. Barll's henry.—Great .7idoieings.---A Brilliant Cavalry En goyenient Under Gen. McCook. CINCINNATI, Sept. 23.—The rebel Gen. Bragg has advanced with his for ces as near as Bardstown, Nelson co., Ky., approaching Louisville. His force is about 30,000 men, with a prospect of being increased by Kirby Smith's column. We have a number of gunboats at Louisville, and a large force of men well entrenched. We can hold the city. Gen. Buell is close on Bragg. No attack on Louisville is imminent for two or tliree days. Lour:syn. - LE ; September 24-104 A. M.--The city presents quite a martial appcarrnee this morning. All the st - ircs are closed, and military detach ments are seizing on all enrolled per sons to have them work on the en trenchments. The refugees from the interior of Kentucky are enrolling themselves into a regiment here. A. R. Johnson, acting as Brigadier Gen. at llopkinsville, is enforcing the con scription act, and levying contributions upon the Union men. The Journal is informed that Hum phry Marshall's advance reached Shel byville last evening. Nothing further that can be communicated by tele graph has occurred during the last 36 hours. LOUISVH,LE, September 24-11 o'- clock P. M.—The intense excitement of the last few days lies given place to great rejoicings at the immediate prox imity of seven divisions of Buell's ar my, which are coining up frbm the di reetion of Salt river. The enemy seem to be concentrating at Bloomfield. About twelve thous and were seen this morning, beyond Salt river, on the Bardstown road. Louisville is now considered entire ly safe, and though a fight may occur in our vicinity before the arrival of Buell's divkions, nobody has any fears respecting the result. Gen. Nelson is confident that he can hold this point against any odds, un til the approaching Federal reinforce ments arrive. Col. W. H. Rolke, of Gen. Critten den's staff; Captain llobitzwell,ofGen. Alex. MeCook's staff; and Lieutenant Rockwell, of Gen. Buell's staff, have just arrived lucre. No portion of the rebel forces are known to be this side of Bardstown. On the 17th our cavalry captured 450 rebels at Glasgow. On the 21st, three regiments of cav alry under General .‘ lea. McCook, drove 8,000 rebel envalry out of Mum without any Federal loss.— The rebels lost a colonel and lieuten ant colonel. Our forces had ski rin ish in g all along the road hitherwards, and captured numerous small squads of rebels. Col. Edw. McCook, of the 2d Indi ana Cavalry, commanding a brigade composed of the 2d Indiana, and Ist and 3d Kentucky Regiments, was at Elizabethtown this morning, on the way up. Ire had skirmishers at sever al points, killing forty-seven of the rebuts in the aggregate. And, in con junction with Ken L's command, he took 1500 rebel prisoners, and twen ty-four wagon loads of provisions. iOtiltiVll.lx, Sept. 24, near midnight. —Gen.lllloll has Just arrived here. General Nelson has just issued an order permitting a general resumption of business to-morrow, the issuing of passes to all loyal persons, and the discharge of all enrolled citizens from duty. CiselxsArr, September 2-I—eve ning.—The latest intelligence from Kentucky is exceedingly favorable. A portion of General Buell's force has crossed the Salt river, and will be in the city tonight. Louisville is now entirely out of danger. The rebel General Bragg must ef fect a junction with Kirby Smith, or retreat. 'lle was, at the latest accts., at Bardstown. Buell is on the move. General Morgan has not evacuated Cumberland Gap. lie is amply provi ded for two mouths, and will hold out to the last. THE WAR IN MISSOURI Sr. Louis, Sept. 24.—A despatch re ceived at Headquarters announces the safe arrival of General Schofield at Springfield. lie will instantly com mence vigorous preparations to check the force of rebels advancing from Ar kansas ander Generals Hindman and Rains. lluusoN, 110., Sept. 23.—Early last week Capt. Johnson, with seventy-five of the enrolled militia from Rolla co., attacked a party of guerillas under McDonald, at Frick's Licks, scattering them in all directions. They left ono dead and three wounded. On the 18th Captain Johnson, with 125 men, surprised a camp of 150 reb els under Major Snyder, and after a short engagement the enemy fled.— Major Snyder was killed, and fifteen of his men wounded. All tho camp equipage, guns, blankets, and other property was taken. On the same day Lieut. Dillon, with a part of his company, came up with the band and routed them, taking five prisoners, eleven horses, etc. Major Hunt reports having scattered Cunningham's band near Sturgeon, in a skirmish. Only one man was woun ded on our side. liruvENwonTn, Sept. 24.—The Times of this city has advicos of a fight, on the 20th, at Shirley's Ford, ten miles northwest of Carthage, between the Third Indiana Regiment, under Col. Ritchie, and a force of six hundred rebels, resulting in the rout of the en emy, with a loss of from sixty to nine ty kille.l. From Gen. Bull's Army. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 26, 11 P. M. —General Buell's entire army arrived this morning. Passing through, on their advance toward the enemy, they were joined by a largo force of our troops congregated hero. There is intense anxiety about the approaching battle, which will be ter rific—yet all loyalists believe confident ly that our army is more than a match for the rebels. Buoll's forces look and march like veterans. They have never been defeated, and they are men that never think of defeat. Bragg and Smith, with their respec tive armies, are at Taylorsville, on the East Fork. of Salt Hirer. Their men clamor to be led against either Louisville or Cincinnati, but their Gen erals just now seem indisposed to grat ify them. Though many renegade Kentuckians are joining the invading traitors to the country, dev,rtions from their ranks more than counter balance the number of rectuitg. Mumnn . r.- - bouisville is quiet, but the streets have been blocked up all day by Buell's forces passing through to the camp grounds '3" the vicinity. The hotels and boarding houses are crammed to overflowing, while the market is almost bare of the necessi ties of life, in consequence of the pro ducers and market men being kept back by the rigid system of passes. Business has become quite active, but no liquor is allowed to be sold. The refugees are rapidly returning, having recovered from their alarm. From Gen. McClellan's Army. BAurnionE, Sept. 26.—The Ameri can's special, dated near Sharpsburg the 24th, says : Our troops are learn ing some of the tactics of the enemy, and since the rebels were driven over the Potomac at this point, have kept them awake by reconnoissances and dashes across the river. Col. Warren, commanding one brig ade at this point, sent over a company of the Fifth New York, who brought back a fine brass piece The rebel pickets fell back as our men advanced, and a drummer of the Fifth Regiment, whom Col. - Warren had sent over as a punishment for showing some nervous ness under fire on a previous occasion, brought the gun over. An attempt was also made to bring off a caisson, but the rebels rallied and took it off.— A regiment was drawn up on the canal bank during the affair, and some shots were exchanged, but without serious results. One man, Sergt. Crowley, of the Fifth, was wounded in the leg. Yesterday afternoon the Sixty-Sec one! Pennsylvania Regiment, Colonel Switzler, with a section of the First New York Artillery, attached to fin's Brigade, crossed the river at Rey nold's Ford, below Sheperds 4 mtvn, and brought over four hundred rides, most of which are marked " London. 1802," and one fine 12-pound rifled brass piece, of English manufacture. The affair was accomplished rapidly and with entire success. The rebels fell back as our men advanced, with out resistance, and not even a shot was exchanged. These little affairs have an excellent effect upon the men, and their cheering as the prize reach ed this side, was ,hearty and enliven- It appears to--iw---wett-ttsecrtamett: that the bulk of the rebel army still remains along the other branch of the Potomac. All our reconnoissances find them in strong force, and the smoke of their camp fires can be seen opposite all the fords. it is a part of rebel tactics to show most activity where they have the leatt force, these manifestations are not to he altogether trusted. As it must be difficult to feed ' an army as large as that of the rebels, at a point so far from railroad commu nication, it is probable that a large por tion of their force, have fallen buck as far as Winchester. Three or four hun dred wounded prisoners left here by the rebels were yesterday paroled and sent across the river under a flag of truce. The flag was also used to agree to a suspension of picket firing, and the pickets now walk along the oppo site banks of the river without molest ation or fear. Advance of Majler General Siegel. REBEL SCOUTS PUNISHED IMPORTANT INFORMATION, CENTREVILLE, Va., Sept. 25.—The advance division of General Sigel's corps, under the command of Colonel Vougilssa, of the 40th New York vol unteers, DoKalb regiment, reached this place on Monday last, via Fall's Church and Fairfax Court Ilouse. enemy was found on the road hither to interpose any obstacle to the prog ress of the troops, or to taking posses sion of the fortifications upon their ar rival here, except a few scattering horsemen, who fled before our scouts could bring their carbines to bear upon them. On Tuesday Brigadier General Stahl reached this point with an addi tional force, and he now has command of the place and occupies the house of Mrs Whaley as his headquarters. The usual precautions have been taken to prevent a surprise by the enemy, and since Monday scouting parties have been sent out daily in different direc tions. General Stahl in person visited the Bull Run battle-field yesterday with a small force for the purpose of administering a little salutary punish ment to a party of rebel scouts who had fired upon our pickets. As may well be supposed the special object of the mission was fully accomplished. Yesterday morning a force, consist ing of two regiments, a squadron of cavalry and a section of artillery, ac companied by a gang of workmen, un der the command of Colonel Bush bock, of the 27th Pennsylvania Volun teers, proceeded to Manassas Junction, and thence to Bull Run creek, to re pair the bridge destroyed by Long street, while (len. Pope was making his celebrated retreat from the Rap pahannock. Gen. Siegel made his headquarters at Fairfax Court House, and has with him the balance of his corps. I had a conversation to-flay Ivith a resident of Brentsville, just across the Orange and Alexandria railroad, from - Manassas Junction, and he communi cates some important facts, if true.— tie says that 'bur of the five locomo tives reported to have been destroyed by General Banks when he fell back from Briatow's Station have been placed in good order by the rebels, and have been run down to the Rap pahannock station. There are also several freight cars, toots, and other articles of clothing supposed to have been destroyed, and a number of piec es of artillery, but no rebel soldiers. At Gainesville, he reports that there are at least ten thousand stand of arms belonging to the rebels; they are also repairing the bridge destroy ed by order of General Pope, aeioss the Rappahannock river, and the road will be in running order to Culpepper within a few clays. FROM HARPER'S FERRY. WAsnisoroN, Sept. 27.—N0 Rebels, except scattering pickets, were yester day in sight from London Heights, within three miles of Harper's Ferry. The only body of them that may be called a force discoverable near the river was at Falling Waters, near Mar tinsburg. A gentleman just from par ticipating in burying the dead and at tending to the wounded at the battle of Antietam assures us that our dead from that engagement falls short of 1,200, and our wounded aro less than 6,000. In addition to the 3,500 dead rebels buried by oar side on that field on the road near by there are trenches filled with dead rebels, buried by their own comrades in arms. One trench is marked with a stake pencilled thus: "General Anderson and 141 others ;" another, "Colonel Starke and 114 oth ers;" another, "81;" and others of other numbers. Thus, in the apace of one-third of a mile are trenches con taining five hundred bodies orrebels killed in that battle buried by their own companions; so that their whole loss then and there was, indeed, three or four-fold oars, at least.
