By reference to, our advertising columns, the' changes in tho arrival, and departure of the .passenger trains -CanJjo_ascfir,talned. . Promoted. —We are pleased to learn that Orderly 'Sergeant John "Waggoner, of the old “ Carlisle Li gilt Infantry- Company,” now in camp near-Washington, lias been elected 2d Lieutenant of said Company. Qur word for it, lie; will make a good and popular officer. He is well versed in miltary matters, and an enthusiast in ■ the cause of the Stars - and Stripes. This is the Company ShoriffSl’CAßT , nev recently commanded, hut ho having re signed, the corps was re-organized, and is now officered as follows—Captain, Tiros. P. Dh in ; First Lieutenant, . Jqsepii ’.Stuart; Second Lieutenant,! John Waggoner. Success to the "oldlnfantry." . . .Gen. Sherman’s Body Guard. —Gen. Sher man’s so-called “Body Guard,” from all ac counts, is likely to prove a fizzle—most of the young men who arrived hero to connect them selves with it having returned home. Wo nev er could understand this “ Body guard” busi ness, except that we noticed certain monopo lizftig familios'expcotod to'foist their stripling sons , upon the Government, at good salaries, and without danger to their, precious lives. Who appointed them, no one could toll; by what authority they wore appointed Was equal- ■ ly incxplainable. Perhaps somc'Gouerals re-, quire “ Body Guards,” but if they do, we would suppose stalwart men would be wanted—men of experience, and who have had a smell of ' gun-povyder. If .Body’ Guards are to be or ganized merely for show, and for the purpose of bestowing additional favors upon a few se lect pets of the administration, the sooner the idea ls abaniined the bettor. If certain families wish th|ir boys’.toijbe considered lejp jhem place muskets ini .their f hands andurgolthem to join A.company, as thousands of others have done. Wo have had enough and more than enough of show. Fhe . Mont has spent millions by favoring pots and attempting to act" the.magnificent,” It is time, we say, that this kind of foolery be stopped; ■ An Illinois Regiment. —The first regiment from Illinois that has crossed the Allegheny mountains passed through Carlisle, in'the cars, on Friday evening last. They are command ed by 001. Tight, who, a few years ago, was a'.sergeant at our Garrison. Tho regiment is from Chicago, is very full, and looks to bo very-efficient. It will bo ' attached'to Gen. Banks’ division. . Wild Geese., —A' few mornings since two large flocks .of wild geese passed over our vol-. ley, on their way to the. South. They arc no doubt in favor of secession, butby next spring they will have another notion in their heads, and will, again return to their friends in tho North. The Storm of Sateedav. —One of tho. heaviest storms experienced in this region oc curred on Saturday morning. Long before daylight the wind.howled most dismally, and banged the. shutters right and loft; The trees were nearly stripped of their foliage, and pavements were covered 1 with loaves of every hue. Tho pedestrians who went to , market found it a difficult matter to kfeop their um brellas ■ from reversing, and quite a largo number of.hooped skirts, inflated with wind fancied themselves balloons and tried to soar upward and were only prevented by tho su perabundance of ballast. Tho rain did come • down in torrents, but in driving gusts, all day, rendering outdoors extremely uncomfortable. Gen. 1 Scott in learn from tho Harrisburg Union that on Saturday last a special train a|rived in that city hav ing on board General TTinfield Scott and staff —Secretaries Cameron''and Chase, Generals Butlpr and Mansfield, and fa-number of lesser lights. Few know anything abojlt the expect ed arrival, but no sooner had tho distinguish-- ed party landed than the nows was noised about, and despite tho storm which raged at the time, a large number of people congregat ed at the railroad. A number of the distinguished party went to the residence of J. D. Cameron, in "Walnut street, but the old hero, owing to the inclem ency 6f the weather, remained in tho car unUUheir return. The crowd which surround cd tho COT clamored loudly f-r a sight ol the' Gen ; . and to gratify them, he arose from the re-1 ■ climng position he had maintained during tho journey'and tottered to the door of tho” ear where- ho bowed and then retired. U e ap peared to be very much enfeebled by disease and ago. Thct-Party left for New York about heir. past one o’clock. Preparations for the session of Congress hove already commenced. Tho chambers <>■ tho Senate and House of Representatives ar c ' fitting up, and everything will to in rodiuess before the first of December, GENERAL FIiEHONT. Tiic Charges Against him Snstaintd. This blustering, pompous Abolition Gen eral has boon found guilty of Incompetently, dishonesty, and avarrciousness. Ho and his friends hrtvo been tanking a nice thing out of tho Avar, arid at the same time inflicting a groat-deal of,dishonor upon tho country. I'lto blood of tho bravo LvON cries from the ground against this incompetent upstart. Has ho been removed ? That is t/ic question. One day we sco it stated that he has; tho next day if is contradicted. Tho President, it is evident, is “weak in the,knees, ’’ and is hesitating be tween duty and a fear of that infamous band of fanatics, tho Abolitionists. Letold Ann” pick up what little independence he has, and remove Fremont.. The country and the peo ple demand it.- But, to ; the report by don,- Thomas. .The report of General Thomas to the War Department upon General Fremont’s course in the West presents some facts which challenge''public attention, .Thomas was sent out by the War Department,, and ho made his notes as he went along partly front his own observation, and partly from the in formation given bim by milithry mon high in' 1 cominaud in tho Western army. Thochargcs, reduced '.to specific accusations, pro" wasteful ness, disregarded of law, and-' incompetency as a commander. The proofs are. damaging to tho reputation of fieri.-Fremont,' iind leave but little, doubt that the charges Qau.be .sub stantiated.' The disregard of law is shown-in his military appointments, there being, no.less than two hundred irregularly -appointed offi cers, twenty-one commissioned offioora .being 1 in the General’s own staff, consisting of only three hundred men. Among other persona an in a theatre. The pay of these officers frequently commenced a month or two ante rior. to the date of their appointment.. . Besides this, members of’Fremont’s staff were allow ed to contract for supplies to the army, and furnished hay, mules, &0., contrary to law. Guo furnished blankets; which wore condemn: ed as worthless, but. nevertheless the blankets were paid for. Col. Andrews, chief pay-mas ter. who refused to pay a claim not author ized by low, was threatened with arrest by a file -of soldiers. General Hunter, second in command, states.that there is great confusion in Fremont’s army, and ho gives some strik ing instances of his lack of military knowl edge, leading as it-has to disaster to our Wes tern army. One is his suffering Price to capture Mulligan at Lexington; while ho was discussing.a plan, for retaking Springfield, where there was no enemy, though his atten- tion was called to both those filets.. Another was his withholding reinforcements from Ly on while'it was in his power to aid him, Fremont’s opinion, against his other officers was that “ Gonefal'Lyon is as strongas any other officer in the lino.” He failed to strengthen Lyon, and the result, as is well known, was the defeat of that most gallant officer. Another is his .suffering Price to es cape him when it was possible to capture him. AVhon he did move forward, it was without knapsacks or provisions for his troops.. Their cartridges, being carried in their pockets, were spoiled by the first days’ rain. Ho or dered Hunter .to Lexington with forty-one wagons, for which there were only forty mules, quantifies of graindp. ’distant places, where it was ’to bo had in . abundance. The guns he bought in” Eu rope wore only one-fifth of them fit for service, twenty, out of one hundred only going' off. Selovor, Fremont’s partner, says ho, made $30,000 profit by the purchase., These are a few of the principal evidences of Fremont’s generalship and military knowledge; but they are enough, to justify Mr. Blair’s pre vious declarations of General Fremont’s in competenoy. His friends endeavor to ward off these damaging facts; but the business is an uphill one. Select. School. —Select scholars for- Sep tember and October, 1851: . ‘ School No. 11.—Edward J.

The Adtuhn Leaves. —No ono can main tain, after this year’s experience, that has' any spccial ngency in the autumn colora tion of leaves. have long un derstood tho matter, andilfavo explained the ripening of the leaf as a simple process of veg etable growth. The oplor&tion of loaves at maturity can no accounted for than tho red of the rosejiwe bine of the violet or the orange of; fhe lily. The color which leaves assume in tlio Fall in duo to tho same causes. But tho popular idea that the leaves are changed by.tho frost is so firmly establish ed in the minds of some people that it is diffi cult to dispel it; This fall,tho foliage as sumed tho most gorgeous coloring without the sign of frost, and, indeed, seemed to bo moro brilliant on account of its non-appearance. This is perfectly natural, ns the loaves were able to gradually assume tho colors which belong to th.eir ripeness, unobstructed by sud den cold.

The Attitude of the Democratic Tarty. Time always vindicates tho wisdom of the policy of tho Democratic party and of its ad ministration. |t ; has done so In connection With recent events, withmorothan .usualciA phsusis, i For yqatis land years it warned the country Jthat this 'eternal agitation of'the star very question if not stopped, would bring tile greatest' oakmities ; upon us; that it won'ld load to a dovidodUnibnaml civil war between the sections; to national and individual hauk rupey; to personal and political ruin.: It pleads with its political, opponents, North, with thenlnn-fanaticsof the South', to forbear, to stay their hands, to stop What they called their “irrepressible conflict,” fpr tho good of their country. Their appoalswero spurned. Their warnings wore disregarded! Wo wote told by the Rcrpuhlican Statesman that tho agitation Should go Oli, ,'that'it did not endan ger tho Union ; that a sectional triumph would do no mischief, that in ease they were success ful, all would go on as gaily ns a “marriage hell.” The people for once listened to their syren-soothing voice,, and installed them in power. AVe would liko to have seen the Dem ocratic predictions proven faldc—wo had a million times rather that they would have bad the name of false prophets, than to have seen our country in its present lamentable. condi tion. But all the worst fears of tho Demo crats, all. their worst predictions, have'been more than realized. ’ Look at die condition of : the country—look at the present—survey its future; For all the evils, present and pros pective, the Dcmooratio parly is guiltless, as ; it lifted up its voice and warned the people of them; Had the Democratic policy not booh departed from, and its wise counsels been lis -1 jpneil to. irn should have been to'day a happy and united people, and prosperity would have smiled updn the land. The Democrats ad vised that the slavery question be-lot alone; that-the compromises of the Constitution in favor'of the institution bo adhered to with, strict fidelity, ~• Its strong common sense ena bled it to perceive that thisgreat country coidd only be saved by a compromise and concilia- tion of all the various interests, and that as long as nearly one half of the States were slave-holding, it Was egregious folly to sup pose that ouf federal Government.could pur* sue tin anti-slavery course, without the grea test troubles and disasters to the whole social fabric. Our opponents professed ,to believe otherwise. ’ AVe give’them credit,rtt least the masses, for honesty; but, oh ! how, terrible liavethoy. been misled by demagogues and po- itical idiots to the brink of destruction 1 The old, stereotyped charge of corruption Was'also instrumental in causing the .people to vote down Demooratio'meU' and Democratic policy. AVfiat have wo seen? AVhy in loss linn three months it is anladmitto.d fact, that those purists wiio support the. administration of Lincoln have stolen more from the. Gover nment, from the brave soldiers, than all the , money that has been abstracted from the ■ Treasury for half a 'century; : Since the 4th, of March—llepublican papers themselves be-' ing the'witnesses—there has been a regular carnival of corruption, that puts to shame eve rything wo have seen inth'afline. The con duct of the Democrats in the war is also anoth er evidence of their warm and ardent patriotism that has extorted praise froin' even their po. litioal oppononts. the policy wlilchihaa .led to and Injudicious, they were the first to respond to the call, to arms, when they were left no other recourse, ' A large majority of the offi cers and soldiers who are now in the front of he enemy are Democrats, while those , who have instigated the war, preferred that way of settling our difficulties to a peaceful com promise, remain comfortably ' at-home, assail ing other Democrats and Union men who have ever been and are now for their country, as traitors'. Those lines, drawn from tho great book of the past, 'indicate the policy to bo pur sued by the people in the future. Turn out tho politicians of the Lincoln stripe as quick as possible. They have shown thcnisolyes incompetent to govern tho country. Tarn them put at the elections ns fast as yoii hfafe tho opportunity, and restore to power thatcr 7 . ganization which would have, if it had been permitted,-averted all our present evil, and whose policy yet can alleviate and mitigate them. The True Meaning, Although the, recent election in Ponnsylva nia-indicatcs a remarkable re-action in favor of tho Democratic party, the meaning of this result should not bo misunderstood; In the Border States.it must not be taken as indica tive of opposition to. the war for the restora tion of tho. Union, or that the people of this State are less earnest and determined in their support of tho Federal Government. The course pursued by'the Republican press before .tho election, in charging Democratic candi dates with secession sympathies, arid endeav oring to make On issue between tho Republi can candidates as friqnds of the Government and Democrats as its enemies, is calculated to produce false impressions iu quarters where the nature/of the question's, on issue was de-: rived from such false sources, and to enoom’- age the..rebels'To persevere in rebellion.— These same false oracles also said that if the Democratic party was Buccessfftl, it would-be claimed as a victory in favor of secession, and against the'Government and the war. Ikm those who have been misled by these misrep resentations disabusethoir minds at once and forever fron such impressions, Tho Demo cratic party of Pennsylvania stands tklw whore it has always stood, on the side of tho Gov ernment and tho laws. Neither victory orde foatcan move it from this position. Tho ques tion of enforcing tho lawswas not an issue. Its result,is indicative of nothing more than that tho people have confidence in the Demo cratic partythat they now-appreciate its warnings and services in tho past, and that they will stand with itin repudiatingmobism, and in sustaining the- laws and the constitu tion of the country,. This is tho true moan ing of our victory. The masses despise the Aholitiorvistsand Secessionists who have been tho cause’of this war, and will hereafter main tain as the only hope of tho country the con stitutional principles of tho Democratic par ty.—North'd Democrat. Death of a Venerable Editor. —Henry P.rae, Srx, a veteran journalist, who died at itfs midpnee in Cincinnati, last week, at tho ago of’9o, was engaged in the editorship of the Recorder, at Richmond,-Vai, in tho year 1800.

JOHN C. FREMONT, ’ Major General U. S. A. The Habeas Corpus Case at Washington. WAsnixoToN, Oct. 3,0. Deputy. Marshal Phillips represented-to tho U. S. Circuit Court to-day that ho did not serve the rule issued by that body on the 22d iust„ to bo served on General Andrew Porter, Pro vost Marshal of tho District of Columbia, be cause he was ordered by the President (if the United States not to serve the same, and to re port to the Court thattho privilege of the writ of habeas corpus has been , suspended for the present, by order of the President, in regard to soldiers in the army of the United States, within this district. The Deputy Marshal re spectfully disclaims all intention to disobey or treat with disrespect the orders of the Court. Chief Justice Dunlop delivered tho opinion of tho Court, as follows: Kulo to show cause against Gen. Andrew Porter, ProvostJVlarshal of tho District of Co lumbia, why an attachment of contempt should not issue against him for obstruoting tho pro cess of this • Court, and tho administration of justice under it. The return made by Deputy Marshal Phillips, on tho 2Gth of Ootabor, we will order to bo filed, though wo do not doubt our power to regard it ns insufficient in law, and to proceed against the officer who has made it. Tho existing condition of the coun try makes it plain that that offiicor is power less against the vast military force of the Ex mander-in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States. Assuming tho verity of the return which has been made on oath, the case presented is with out parallel in the Judicial history of tho United States, and involves the free notion and efficiency of the Judges of this Court.— The President, charged by the ! Constitution,, to take care that the laws bo executed, has seen fit to arrest the process of this Court and to forbid the deputy. Marshal to execute if It docs not involve merely the question of the power of the KxbcutiVc in civil war to suspend t&ojrfp'at writ Cf frc'odoni, the habeas corpus; ‘. > when this rule wife ordered 1 , to give efficacy iIA Ihht writ, no nptice had bb'bh giVon by the ■President, to,the Courts or the country, of such shspinsion, here noW first announced tons and it will hardly bc mlviutaincd that thosua pensioh coUlfl bo fetroejVccliVp. The rule in this case, therefore, 'whatever may bo the Presidents power over the writ of habeas cor pus, was lawfully ordered ns well ns the writ on which il was founded. The facts ofi which the rule was ordered by the Court are assumed to be true, ns respects the President, because the president had thorn bpforehim and KSs not denied them, but forbad the Deputy Mar shal to serve the rule art .General.'Andrew Porter. . The President, we think, tlssmihig the re sponsibility of, the nets of General Porter sot forth id IJid rfllfev.Amt'sanctions’ them; by, his order to Deputy Marshal Phillips, not to serve thd proefess bn thfe Provost Marshal. The issue ought to boj and is. witli-the President; and wd nave no physical power to enforce the lawful process Qigtlils Court on his military against the President’s prohib ition. Wo: have .exhausted every practical remedy to uphold the lawful nuthority of this Court. It is ordered, this 30th day of Ootohor, 18CI, that this opinion of the Court he filed by the .derk, and made part of the record, as explain ing the grounds on which wo now decline to order any furlbcr process in this cnee.' Associate Judge Morsel!said —As n mem ber of this Court, and on its behalf; I wish it understood that, notwithstanding' the blow leveled at. this Court, I do distinctly assert the following principles: . I’irst, That the. law in this country, knows on sunbrior.. . Sc. end, That the stiproinn’cy of the civil au thirily over the military’ cannot bo dome 1; that it. has hccn.estahl shin) by tho ablest ju rists, arid, I believe, veeognized and respects 1 ’ by the Great Father of the Country! during 'flirnTr)yoT(nt®hfi : y^‘Al^’'’''^ =l= •——=*>=■ Third, That this Court ought to he restpoc? tcd .liy every one’, ns the guardian, ol tho per amial liberty, of the citizen, in’giving ready and effectual aid by that iilnst .valuable means —the Writ of habeas corpus.
