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.
Oua young friend Licut J S Camp
bell, taken prisoner at the battle of
Cedar Mountain, has been released,
with other officers, and has returned
home. He looks none the worse of a
few weeks stay in Richmond.
vir Jos. B. Noble, Esq., of Bedford,
has been nominated as the Democratic
candidate for State Senator in this
Senatorial District.
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."

From him we learn that eighteen citi

own State, were brought to Richmond,
and have, for two months, been confin
ed in a dungeon.
These men arc between fifty and
seventy years of age, and were confin
ed because they refused to bear arms
for the Southern Confederacy. When
they were brought out of their dun
geon last Monday, they were almost
eaten up with lice, their bodies being
literally covered with blood, and not
a spot upon them that had not been
infested by the vermin.
GEN. WILLIAMS, of General .11.1eClel

thirty-five to forty thousand stands of

stands of colors, in the Into battles in

A Dollar that Pays Well,
One of the best seasonable enterpris
es, now before the public, is that of the
Publisher of the American Affricultur- I
ist. He has secured for his Subscrib
ers fine colored editions of two splen
did Maps of localities of great inter
est. One of these covering a space of
more than ten square feet, shows the
entire State of VIRGINIA SO complete
ly I hat every town, city, village, river,
brook, mountain, hill, and principal
road, is readily found. It also embra
ces the principal parts of Mar) -land
and Pennsylvania. The other Map,
covering about 15 square feet, gives
all the Southern or Slave States, in
cluding :Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia,
Araryland, Delaware, and all south of
them. Though not so minute as the
Map of Virginia, this shows all the
counties, principal towns, ete., of the
Southern States. Any person subscri
bing now for the Agriculturist, is pre
sented with a choice of the above two
Maps. In addition to this, every new
subscriber for 1803, (Vol. 2:2.) receives
the Aqricuituri,q for the rest of this year
without charge. We have long receiv
ed the Ayriculturi•st, and can testify to
its real merits. Every number is well
illustrated, and contains a very largo
amount of really useful, practical, re
, liable information for the Farm, the
Garden, and the Household, including
, a very interesting department for the
' little ones. No one can fail to get ma
ny dollars' worth of useful hints from
a volume of the Ayrieulturi4, while the
maps now are so much extra. We
have sent for two copies of the paper
so as to get both maps.—Send for the
paper on our recommendation, or if
you prefer, send a dime for a single
copy, and examine it fbr yourself.—

A Common Term Beautifully Defined.
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.

- 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.

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

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.

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.
