Co. K., Firm Itcscaye.—We' have been
anxious to learn the fate of Capt. Collins'
company. By a private letter we hear that
owing to the siekness and exhaustion of
many of the members, the company number
el but 11 men in the fight of Saturday. Of
these John Smith was slightly wounded in
the foot. Lieut. it. W. Smith of Co. 0, was
wounded ir, ;he fleshy part of the leg—
severe but not dangerous. 'rho regiment is

They were recruited by Capt. Haines and
will be forwarded from Harrisburg to Cul.

—Mr. William Lowry wh ) went on in
charge of the provisions forwarded by the
`Soldier's Aid Society" to the Forty-fifth
regiment, has returned. Ile left here on
last IVonday week, lay two days in Balti
rn re, waiting transportatio,o, und two days
in Nyasbington before getting his freight
shipped to Acquit'. Ile finally succeeded
in getting an order for four government
wagons, which were eatirely filled witb the
barrels, boxes, &e., in which the stores were
hauled to the steamboat landing. Thence
they were carried in a boat to Acquia Creek,
where they were received by our boys with
enthusiasm. It was a trent indeed, and we
fancy old Columbia was remembered thank
fully by many a soldier that day. Our boys
are all well, and ready to do their full share
towards crushing out tho impudent rebel
I hordes who threaten their homes with inva
sion and pillage. Mr. Lowry deserves
great credit for the persevering manner in
which he engineered A. eight through—
nu easy task.
Carr. STRICICLER.—On Wednesday we
had the pleasure of meeting our old towns
man Jacob M. Strickler, at Harrisburg,
where ho had just received his commission
as Captain of 00. K. 1,1501 penna. Vols.
Capt. S. served a year as private and non
commissioned officer in Co. F, Ist Penna.

and was through the seven days' battle be
fore Itichmond, 'VtLerc Ito behaved with
notable bravery, When the last company
was raised in Culy.mbia a successful attempt
ns made to have Sergeant Strickler de
tailed as commander. He arrived here on
Tuesday, and on Wednesday proceeded to
Harrisburg where he received 1.4 commis
sion from Gov. Curtin. He brought the
highest testimonial of character as a brave
and efficient soldier, and we sincerely c,m
gratulate him on his well-earned promotion.
lie will soup pre,cped to Washington to take
command of hir. company now in charge of
(acting Captain) Erisman.
We hope the boys will win distinction
under Capt. Strickler, and feel confident
that he will show them the chance when,
ever an oportunity offers. The man who
has earned name and promotion in the ranks
is the man to lead our new levies into the
coming struggle, and is entitled to every
honor he luny fairly win,
A STIR AMOSG TUB call
from Washington for rolcattecr Surgeune
and Nurse. oa last Sunday created groat
excitement in town and country. On Satur
day evening Doctors Devlin and atakius
had gone forward as volunteers, together
with Doctors Bluer, Atlee and others of
Lancaster. 4nd these are now employed in
the hospitals in and around Washington.
Qa Sunday a despatch was received calling
fur additional aid, and by elx o'cclock, a
car load of physicians, assistants, nurses,
, Ste., from town and country were assembled
and started for Philadelphia in a special
train. We cannot enumerate all who went.
Doctors Armor and Wulf, with Rev. Messrs.
Maddox and Berry, and Messrs. F:aley,
Baumgardner, Kauffman, Cottrell, Hess,
Rambo, Richards, McDivit, and mar y oth
ers whom we cannot recall, were among the
number from town. Those who started on
Sunday found Washington filled with phy
sjoimte and nurses, and their services were
consequently not required. They have
generally returned.
Tura Govansott's PRuCLAILITION.—We
publish to-day Governor Curtip'q Procla
mation recommending the formation of vol
unteer companies, and the closing of all
places of business at 3 o'clock, P. M. fur
the purpose of dealing. This is an impor
tant crisis, and not a moment too soon hio
the call been made : 13ufortunately, with
out the proclamation of martial law there
seems to be nothing (unless it be popular
sentiment) to compel the :nattering and
training of the people. We therefore ap
prehend n supineness, especially in the
country, which will refuse to be shaken in
cept by the actual presence of the foe at
our very threshhulds. There has been an
unjust prejudice against home service du
the war, which bas, in thit section at least,
entirely killed every effort for the forma
tion of volunteer companies. There should
be !pi •Act of Legislature making it the
duty of every citizen liable to military duty
to belong to a military organization, and to
drill with sufficient frequency to render bim
effective when called into active service.
In spite of prejudice (which mug now
give way to prudence) we expect to see the
present recommendation of the Governor
heeded in Columbia. According to the en
rollment we leave . @even hundred and sev
enty-five men in our borough liable to draft.
The odd seventy-five should cover the ex
empts, and there remains every respectable
batillion for 4411 . y drill. Of this number
a proportion, from the nature of their em
ployment—as on the railroids—cannot he
expected to drill regularly, but there still
will rest enough to forM five or six carh
paniee—no contemptible defensive few.
We know what. opr
let us see yhether we ,hove
.safficiAnt pa
trigisrn to render ,them avai!oble insoi ! hou,r
of pos-ihle extremity:
A meeting tilts held on Friday_ afternoon
at 1 o'clock, rith the view of ohtaioing an
expression ItE pkt lio sentiment in favor of
orconization and drill, and to,tike prelim
inary gam towards imotringprompt action,
which, however, adjoe,rn,eci o'clock
the same evening. We go to proes,toO early
to report the proceedings. pe Pnuncil
was also called 'together st the same time.
We hope such spirit will be called forth as
will insure general compliance with the
Governor's request.
ENROLLMENT Or TUE MILITIA Or LANCAS
TER Cot ;Fry.—We give below the complete
enrolltneat of the af the ceant3-
will ha seen that we foot .up a formidable
force of able bodied Moot V-nd we may be
proud, too, of the score of volunteers already
in the field. Prom these figures, however,
we cannot estinente the number of men to
be furnished by draft iq the county. The
folneaster Express figures the total out 2,-
421. We imagine this calculation, provi
ded the entire quota of the county assumed
by the Express be correct, will be found un
reliable, as to make up the total under the
head of volunteers, have been reckoned
teamsters, mechanics, .1;.t., of which this
c Junty has sent a large proportion. These,
together with the men serving in the regu
lar army, and those enlisted in other than
Pennsylvania re,4iments, will be deducted
from our total of volunteers, before our
credit account is posted. Even with this
subtraction we believe Lancaster eoanty
will be found to have dune well.

DRATT OFFICER.; APPUINTED.—Gov. Cur
tin has appointed Dr. Joseph H. Lefever, of
Paradise township, Surgeon, nod James L.
Reynold., E.g., of this city, Commissioner,
to examine men claiming exemption from
military duty, in this county. We need not
say that these app ,intments meet with the
approbation of every citizen. Dr. Lefever
is a physician of skill and experience, who
enjoys the confidence and esteem of the
eanutunity in which he resides. Mr. Rey
nolds. is well known as a member of the
Lancaster bar, second to none in legal abil
ity and integrity. Ile is a democrat, but
not a Breckinridger. Ile spurns the asso
elation, and goes as far as he who goes the
farthest in sustaining tip Government in
any measure it may deem necessary to put
down the rebellion. With such officers the
people can feel assured that the law will be
justly administered.—Lancaster Union.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3,1862.
Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. there
Arts considerable fighting between Fairfax
Court House and the intermediate space
towards Washington. The rear guard, con
sisted. it is said, of hooker's and Fitz John
Porter's commands, who did effectual ser
vice in keeping the rebels in check, as our
troops ware moving into the fortifications,
protecting this city on the Virginia side.
As to the report of the Chain Ilridge be
ing destroyed, it is sufficient to say that
several days ago the planks were removed
by our authorities as a preventive measure.
There are very few stragglers here, and

Reports of the rebels having crossed into
Maryland find ready believers, but nothing
to-day was reliably known as to such a
movement. It does not seem probable, ns
the troops lining the upper Potomac shores
are sufficient to check the progress of any
forces mrkiug such an attempt. The weak
points of defence hare been, or were, con
siderably strengthened te,day.
General McClellan wont over the river

The sick and wounded continue to arrive
in ambulances, omnibuses and hacks.
One of the most distinguished Generals
stated to-day that the battle of Chantilly,

brilliant of the war, especially Jur the last
three hours, and a portion of it Wing, fought

tempted to get in between Washington and
General Pope, but were promptly met with
Kearney's division, with the lamented Gen
eral qt their head : The fighting was se
vere. both g.earney nod iltevens falling
while giving spirited orders to their men.
The command then devolved on General
Birney, who fought the enemy until most
of his ammunition gave out. Ile then gave
orders to take the cartridges from the ene
my's dead ancrour own, then lying on the
field which he held. This was done. and
tho men, with a shout, drove the rebels back
for more than a wile.
It is reported to-day that firing has been
heard in the vicinity of Leesburg, but there
is no means of ascertaining the truth of the
rumor.

THE ARMY AT MUNSON'S HILL
Death of Gent. Kearney and Stevens—Gen
_McClellan in Cansmand—Confidence jle
stored.
WAsituscrroN, September 3, A.
Washington was last night in a state of
great excitement, and not without Bailsman
cial cause. Crowds gathered at all the
hotels dicussing and speculating on the fu
ture, and the announcement that Gen: Mc-
Clel lan had been assigned to the command
of all the troops assembled for the defence
of Washington was generally predicted to
mean that before twenty-four boars should
elapse the whole Army of Virginia would
be within the area of tsitritory. under ibis
jurisdiction. -
The facts are t' at the Array of Virginia
has been outgeneralled,, outflanked, and. so
disheartened by the daily and hourly eviden
ces of superior generalship on the part of
the j,l,ebels that it is noWnri the way to Alex
andria, monrning the loss of many . gallant
officers and men who balmiest-they lives,
or are suffering fsom wogilds.pnd
thin many of ginixi go. .Atitadp of .the
Rebels. Ry the time tbisßeiter reaches you
the whole command of General Pope will
have fallen back upon the entrenchments
and works for the defence of Washington,
under the command of General McClellan..
OUR SERIES OF DISASTERS.
As far as I can learn here the history of
the past three days has been a succession of
small disasters, both in the front and rear.
Last night there was a saris of skirmishes
tilong the whole front, in one of which Brig
adier General Isaac I. Stevens was killed.
Ws color-bearer having been struck down
he took the flag up himself and was leading
on his troops when 0. minnie ball pierced
his forehead and he instantly fell dead.—
During the evening General Kearney sent
wit a scouting panty in a piece of woods,
who reported dint there was no enemy in
sight. At a later hour, having some doubts
as to the report outdo to him, lie is supposed
to have walked nut in the woods himself,
and was shot by some of the enemy's scouts.
Ile was missing during the night, and this
morning 4is body was sent in by General
Lee, under a dog of truce. It is Raw here,
along with those of Colonel Fletcher Web
ster and General Stevens. being embalmed
fur transmission to their families.
The whole number of killed and wounded
in all the battles up to the present time does
not exceed 11,000. In the first battle on
Friday at Bull Run the lose on the Federal
aide did not exceed 4,000, although General
Pope announced it at ,S,C4O. What the loss
of thp enemy has been, or whether Any of
their prominent officers have suffered, is not
known. it is, however, believed to be equal
if po,t greeter than ours.
Tug Pprg NIT. or WastuNcroat.
The works for the defence of IVashington
are all in excelent condition and stongly
manned by experienced artillerists, so that
no fear is entertained of an attaok on them;
but it is supposed that the enemy will strike
at some line on the Potomac this side of
Garner's Ferry. General McClellan has
already seen to the strengthening of these
points, and there is no douht that we shall
again have a long seige of Washington and
an indefinite prolongation of the war.
The return of the army to Washington is
a great mortification in military circles, and
it will doubtless ha ono of equal mortifica
tion to the whole country. After fifteen
months' of tail and bloodshed we have now
returned to the starting point, and the whole
work has to be commetioed over again.—
The Rebels may now again reiterate their
assertion with some show of plausibility,
that "lheSouth cannot beconquered," There
cannot be said to be any panic here, but the
mortifeation is great and the disappointment
so deep that every man seems to carry his
feelings in his countenance.
There are also ruiners here this evening of
a change in the Cabinet, but F think they
are at present unfounded.
LATE FROM BURNSIDE'S ARMY
The Enemy Attempt to Pursue Him wick
Cavalry—He is Ready to Repel Assault.
WAsniNcros, Sept. 3.—We learn that
Gen. Burnside. on Monday night, was on
the east side of Potomac Run, about six.
miles from Fredericksburg, in a position to
punish the enemy, if they should attempt to
press him. Some of the enemy's cavalry
bad attempted a flank movement upon him,
crossing a ferry fifteen miles below Freder
icksburg, but had not effected their pur
pose, but were hovering on the west bank
of Potomac Run, along to its mouth. The
run empties into an en let of the Potomac.
The iron foundry (Scott's) was not de
stroyed, as stated, on the evacuation of
Fredericksburg, and private property was

On Thursday last the rebels brought
down to City Point eight cannon and about
two hundred riflemen, end opened fire on

it is estimated that by to-morrow night an
