THE LATEST WAR NEWS.
All eyes are directed at this particular time
to tbe Rappahannock. The concentration of
the rebel army along the line of that river and
ihe Rapidan, and the massing of au inmense
Union force in front of Washington, would
naturally attract such attentions. Of course
important movements of troops are taking
place in the vicinity of Washington ; but at
the latest accounts all was quiet along the limes.
Our forces are now so arranged and organized
and in such strength, that whatever may take
place, we have no fear of the result.
The closing scenes of McClellau's army on
the peninsula were of an interesting character.
Not only did the General succeed in getting
h'w command safely through from Harrisons
Lauding, hut he personally superintended the
movement, aud was the last to leave any of
the important points along the route.
Secretary Seward has Avrittcn a letter to
the British Charge d'Affairs to the effect that
foreigners who have not taken out their full
papers are not subject to draft. The Lon
don Times , however, speculating on this ques
tion, says:—" It will be impossible to extend
the British regis to myriads who may want its
momentary protection."
I'rom Cairo we learn that llopkinsvi)le,Ky.,
had been captured on Friday last by the rebel
Johnson, who, with four buudred men, was
inarching on Smitldand.
An important military order has been issued
in New Orleans, by which all the inhabitants
of that city have been deprived of their pri
vate arms, for the reason that at the battle of
Baton Rouge it was discovered that numbers
of the inhabitants of the latter city had beeD
found among the slain on the battle held.—
They had joined the rebel ranks.
The arrival of the Ariel tVom Aspinwall
brings us the intelligence that the United
States gunboat Penguin had chased a rebel
steamer, supposed to be the Oveto, and had
driven her on ihe Little Bahamas. The same
gunboat bad chased auother suspicious craft on
to the same bauks, and when the Ariel spoke
her she was cruising about for the purpose ol
cutting them off.
From rebel sources we learn that the Saca
ter recently captured from the rebels and trans
formed into a Union ram, grounded opposite
Bayou Sara. The rebel authorities demanded
her szrreider but : nUeed of comolyiog with
'the demand, the crew and' atores were removed
and the vessel blown up. This report is not
yet cofiormed.
MILITIA ENROLLMENT.
Mr. WEBB has handed us the following: list
of appointments for the several townships and
boroughs, made in this county, for the enroll
ing of the Militia. The officers are already
at work :

COWAN—WILMOT.
The Columbia Republican in an- article un.
der the above head, says " The partisan
Democrats the faction taking delight in em
barrassing the Administration—fiud a great
deal of fault at the treatment received by
EDGAR COWAN, the renegade Republican, who
mis-represents this State iu the U. S. Senate.
The silent contempt of that body dou't please
the Democratic eulogizers of Mr. COWAN.—
While on the other hand they are equally dis
pleased with the hearty endorsement of Hon.
DAVID WILMOT, the man who does represent
the State. It is said that the resolution en
dorsing him, when read, was greeted with
such an uuiversal shout and storm of ap
plause, that the sham Democracy and weab
kDeed Uuion men were compelled to quail
before it. Truly observes a cotemporary,
that the faithful adherent of liberty and
right might well be proud of such an ap
preciation of his services. Rut poor COW
AN, there were none so low as to do him
homenge. llis endorsement must com? from
the conclave of traors, whose course he has
defended.
fi&ay* The rebel Congress met in Richmond j
ou the 18th instant, on which oecassion Jeff. !
Davis submitted his annual message. He
leads off in his usual hypocritical stvle.and then
alludes to the federal government as "robbers," J
" assassins," k, ad infinitum. He next speaks .
of and recommends retaliatory measures to ,
meet the late lows recently passed by the fed- 1
eral government ; recommends the issue of
more rebel treasury shinplasters,and alludes to
the building of rebel war vessels " at home
and abroad." The resolutions introduced in
the rebel House are bigblv significant of the
future policy of the rebel government.
The message betrays a great sign of weak
ness in the rebel government, for no nation
that has power iu its bands ever pats forth
such arguments as acquiescence in murder, ra
pine, kc., under the name of " retaliation." .
British Subjects and the Military Draft.
The following is a recent letter from the
Secretary ol State to the British Charge
d'Affairs :
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHIXOTOH, \
August 20, 1H62. \
gm—having informally understood from you
that British subjects who had merely declared
. their intentions to become citizens of the! nit- j
' ed States had expressed apprehensions that j
they might be drafted into the militia, under :
the late requisition of the War Department, I
have the honor to acquaiut you, for their in
formation, that none but citizens are liable to
military duty in this country, and that this
Department has never regarded an alien who
may have merely dec'ared bis intentions to i
become a citizen as entitled to a passport, and
consequently has always withheld from per
sons of that character any such certificate of
citizenship.
I have the honor to be, with high consider
! atioo, sir, your obedient servant,
' ' J WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

HEADQUARTERS or THE ARMY or VIRGINIA, I
August 21, ISG2. f
After the battle of Ceeder Mountain the
prospect lor an immediate and successful ad
vance seemed exceedingly promising, and thus
i matters have remained for several days, the
! rebels holding the south bauk of the Rapidan
: and firing ou our pickets at every opportunity.
, On Sunday moruing last as Colonel Carroll,
who was in command of a brigade of General
Ricketts' division,was riding along the outposts
! inspecting the pickets, he was fired upon and
I badly wounded in the shoulder, and on Moil
! day morning, Captain Walters, of the Harris
! Light Cavalry, was shot dead by a volley while
giving iustrnctio s t>the sentiuels. For some
t me the rebels prevented the recovery of the
body ;but at length Lieut.-Col. Kilpatirck,with
I a small force of cavalry armed with carbines,
| charged dowu upon the enemy and drove them
; from the river, when the remains were placed
! in an ambulance and brought into Culpepper.
Captain Walters was one of the most valua
ble officers iu the service. Experienced, bold
and dashing, yet always cool, he enjoyed the
entire confidence of his superior officers and
the love of the whole regiment. Prisoners
were taken by both parties from time to time,
and the outposts finally became so dangerous
that the curious prudently kept aloof from the
locality, very soon rendering the collection of
items anything but a pleasant occupation, and
the items became remarkably scarce at the
front. On Monday we received intelligence
' of the advance of the rebels from Riehmond.
ft was reported along the line that they were
iu great force, and orders were given to pre
pare for ail immediate movement. The euthu-
siasm of th<3 troops was greatly increased by
the near prospect of another battle, they
do not seem to fear aoy danger until it is too
late to fear it, and they have only the option
. to meet and fight it. 'The enemy did not ad
vance near enough for a fiht, and therefore ev
erything is qniet up to to day. Firing was
! heard yesterday, and it was supposed to arise
from a skirmish between Boford's cavalry and
i tbe rebels
A Letter from President Lincoln.
REPLY TO HORACE GREELY.
[Some time since HORACE GRKELY, wrote a
letter to President UINCOLN, in reference to
bis policy in conducting the war, &c., which
was published- HI the Tribune. The following
is the President's reply :—]
EXKCCTIVK MANSION, Washington Aug. 22, 1962.
Hon. HORACE GREELY — Dear Sit : I have
just received yours of the 10th inst., addressed
to myself through the JYew- York Tribune.
If there be in it any statements or assump
tions of facts which I may know to be errone
ous, I do not now controvert them.
If there be any inference which I may be
lieve to be falsely drawn, I do not here aud
now argue against then*
If there be preeeptibfe in it an impatient
and dictatorial tones,! waive it in deference to
an old friend,, whose heart 1 have always sup
posed to be right.
As to-the policy I "seem to be pursuing,"
as you say, I have no merit to leave any oue
is doubt. 1 would save the Union. I wonld
save it in the shortest way under the Con
stitution.
The sooner the National authority can be
restored the nearer the Union will be —the
Uuion as it was.
If there be those who would not save the
Union unless they at the same time save Sla
very, I do not agree with them.
My paramouut object is to save the Uuion,
and uot either to save or destroy Slavery.
If I could save the Uuion without freeing
any slaves, I would do it—and if I could save
it Trp~£reting all the slaves, I wculd do it—
and if I could do it by freeing some and leav
ing others alone, I would also do that.
What I do about Slavery and the colored
race, I do because I believe it helps to save
this Union, and what I forbear, I forbear be
cause I do not believe it would help to save
the Union
I shall do fcless, whenever I believe what I
am doing hurts the cause, uud I shall do more
wbeneverl believe doing more helps the cause.
I shall try to correct errors when shown to
be errors, and I shall adopt new views so fast
as they shall appear to be true views
I have here stated my purpose according to
my views of official duty, and I intended no
modification of my oft-expressed personal wish
that all ruen, everywhere, could be free.
Yours, A. LINCOLN.
The Arctic Region—News from the
Franklin Expedition.
ST. JOHN, N. P., August 22. 1862.
The bark George Henry, of New London,
Caplwiu Budington, Iron Frobisher's Bay,
has arrived litre short of provisions, and with
Mr. llall, of the new 6n,Johu Franklin expe- j
ditiou, on board.
The expedition lost one man the first winter ;
ont. lie froze to death.
Mr. Hull reports that in consequence of the
loss of some of his craft he was unable to
prosecute his miss ou to the extent of its i
purpose.
The expedition had probably determined
the fate of two boats' crews of Sir John Frank
lin's expedition, who perished iu endeavoring
to return.
Mr. Hull learned the fate of five men cap
fured from Frobisher on his first voyage, and
identified the exact place of their lauding.
Mr. Ilall explored over a thousand miles of j
the coast, inclining the so-called Frobisher's ,
Straits, which proved to be a deep bay, teiru
iuating in a latitude 03 48, longitude 70
west.
Mr. Hall also discovered a great glacier and
mountain of fossils between Hudson Straits
and Frobisher's Bay.
The George Henry was about to start for
the States iu October, 1861, but was preveut
;ed doing so by ice until the 9th inst. The
! ship's company subsisted through last winter
| by the hospitality of the Esquimaux.

DIED,
At Burlington, August 15th, 1862, WILLTAMK NAI'P,
aged 84 years 3 months and 6 days.
At his residence in Herrick, of Consumption, DEACON"
CHARLES STEVENS, aged 69 years 6 months and 5
days.
He was born in New Milford, Ct.,ana moved when but
three years of age with his parents to the place now
known as Stevensville, forty years ago he came into the
then unbroken wilderness of North East Herrick, where
he resided until his death.
His christian life was marked with unusual interest.
His house became from the first a home for the Ministers
of the different denominations. It is doubted whether
t ie Methodist ministers of twenty-five or thirty years ago
found among their owu people.any one warmer in heart
more sympathizing, more ready to co-operate with them
in advancing the Redeemer's Kingdom, although him
self an officer in a church of another communion. His
lionse too was the place where the neighbors came
together for prayer, the place where he gathered in the
children lor Sibbith sc'mil iustr.ition. T'ne fact con
cerning several of these came to his knowledge, that
those Sabbath school instructions at his house, were
blessed to the salvation of their souls. As the impotent
people in olden time sought the pool of Bethesia, so the
sick found their way to Deacon Stevens's and were cared
for until health returned again. His was a conjugal and
domestic peace very rare. During the forty years since
his marriage, he was never known to utter k an unkind
word to his wife, and his daughter said, " I never knew
father to be angry." YVe have never before seen a man
against whom none would bring an accusation. He was
elected Deacon of the Congregational Church of Leßrnyß
ville, more than thirty years ago,and has since discharg
ed the duties of bis office most acceptably and usctully to
ih church. His own band .vas put forth to enlarge the
parsonage, lie advised with and encouraged the ministry,
he always gave life and interest* net oniy to tdi prayer
meetings,but to church meetings,and the regular services
of the sanctuary. It is said by members of the church
that sometimes after listening to a dull sermon by which
the congregation seemed unmoved Deacon Stevene would
rise and by his heartfelt earnest appeal, cause a deep
interest, making the people feel it to be a season long to
'be remembered. He was called a peace-maker and has
richly inherited the blessing promised tc each. He was
deeply interested in the great work of reform among
men, in alf that pertained to the progress of truth not
only In tliis but other lands, especially the cause of tem
perauce and freedom found in him a staunch friend and
advocate,and he sighed over the apathy of christians in
view of the millions in bonds, and wept that their liber,
ty must cost rivers ol blood. Eminently plain and
practical in all his habits of thought and action, the
world had but little hoi d upon him in those forms usual
among men. His godly simplicity and sincerity seemed re.
mark-able. As an example of this notice the following
expression of his feelings in his diary the last Sabbath o *
his life, and but two days before his death-. "Sunday is
a pleasant.daj', 0, how many have assembled to-day.
Some to bear the gospel preached, some to see and be
seen.and- some from long habits of going to meeting'
without reference to the gospel or any thing else good,
So the world of maukind are moving on to their fina
destiny. Some aieu hearken.to the voice of truth and
apply it to themselves, others hear the truth aud apply
it to their neighbors. What benefit will the truth be to
those who do not apply it to themselves in the day o'
judgment. Salvation is lost, eternal life is not obtained'
and they have no desire to be in the presence of God and
of angels, no desire to sing the song of redeeming rove'
for the}' have never been redeemed." His thoughts and
hopes, his aspirations and desires, have for years been in
the better land. His life has long been hid with Christ
in God. Though accustomed to ay but little about his
own religious feelings or what aSected him personally,
yet no one could fail to see his deep interest in the
I welfare of souls and the glory of God. and that he walked
I with God in an humble, affectionate,and obedient spirited
! 'ife. He died as might be wished coming dowu to the
grave gently and peacefully, giving his friends lime to
prepare fheir minds for the solemn event. Bis friends
cannot but grieve at their loss,but he will long live in the
elevating influences which his cherished memory shal'
inspire. COM.
