PROCLAMATION BY GOV. CURTIN.
21 Regiments for Nine Months.
RECRUITS FOB THE OLD REGIMENTS FOR ONE YEAR.
HAftßtsßuno,- July 21.—-The following proclamation
lias just been issued :
Pennsylvania, ss:
la tiio tame and by tho -authority of tbe Common
wesiili of Pennsylvania,' Andrew G. Cuktin, Governor
of the said Commonwealth: ..
FBOOLAM4.TION.
To sustain tbe Government in times of common peril
by all bis energies, hts moans, and his li'o if need be, la
the first duty of every loyal citizen. The President of
the United States haa made a requisition on Pennsylva
nia for twenty-one new regiments, and the regiments al
ready in the field mint be recruited.
Enlistments will be’ made for nine months in the new
regiments and for twelve months in the old. The exist
ence of; tho -pressni emergency is well understood, No
patriot will pause now to investigate its causes. We
nrnstlook to the future. Everything that is dear to us
is at stake. Under these circumstances, I appeal with
confidence to the freemen of Pennsylvania, You have to
* save your homes and your firesides, your ©wa liberties
and those of the whole country. I call on the inhabi
tants of the counties, cities, boroughs, and townships
throughout our borders to meet and tuk° active measures
for the immediate furnishing of the quota of the State.
Let those who cannot go themselves contribute to provide
bounties i qual at least to those offered by the adjoining
Stales. The Constitution prohibits me from drawing
money from the treasury without authority of law, aud I
will not cast a doubt on the patriotism of our citizens by
assuming the necessity ef calling the Legislature at this
time; Tbiß is no time to wait for legislative action and
the negotiation of loans. Delay might be fatal.
j£ To put down this rebellion is the business of every ■
man in Pennsylvania, and her citizens will show bn this
occasion'.that they do not wait tor the alow, process of
legislation, and do not desire to throw on. the treasury
o f the Cbmtubnweftlth a burden which they are indi
vidually ready to bear themselves.
The conduct of our men already in the field has shed
immortal lustre on Pennsylvania. Let : their brethren
fly to arms to support them, and mske the victory speedy
as well as certain.
1 designate below the number of companies which
lure expected, from the several counties in the State,
trusting to the support of her honor io this crisis, as
it may be safely Iruated lo tbe loyalty, fidelity, aud
valor: of her freemen. 'Whilst the quota of the several
counties is fixed equitably so as to fill the requisition for
twenty-one .let not the loyal people of any
county limit their exortious to the enlistment of the
companies named. Our heroic sons of Pennsylvania
have moistened every, battle- field with their blood.
Thousands have bravely died, defending the usity of
Ihe Hepttbllc and the sanctity of our flag, and other
thousands have fallen sick and wounded,.and their
places must he filled.
Freemen of Pennsylvania ! Friends of the Gjvoru
irent, of order, and of our common nationality, one
earnest struggle and peace will again dawn upon us as a
happy, prosperous, and united people.
Given under my hand and tho great sosl of the State,
at Harrisburg, this twenty-first day of July, in tho yoar
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two,
and of the Commonwealth the eighty* seventh.

THE WAR.
General Henry Wager Halleck, familiarly
known as “Old Brains,” will arrive in Washington
to day, and report himself at tho War Department
for duty, in a now and, from alt wo can loam,
important position. It is understood that tho
President, with the advioo of Generals Scott and
MoClolian, has determined to placo General
Halleck in tho exalted position of oommnnder
in-chief of our armies in the fioid. There oan
be no doubt that inuch good willjsffliKj.G«>"vJi'S- I
jjew-nwHngomenrrßS-tne-rßeris patent that many I
of our reverses have been the result of a want of "
harmony in the pians and execution of onr gene
rals The appointment of a commander-in-chief in
the field does not interfere with the President’s
plans for crushing tho rebellion, and the War De
partment will work more promptly and offeotually
under the guidance of a master military spirit.
The best Secretary of War the United States over
possessed was General Knox, because ho united tho
qualities of a soldier with those of a great ad
ministrator. Our War Department mast provo
more efficient than ever before, in dual form,
-with Halleok and Stanton at its head. The petty
jealousies of commanders of brigades, divi
sions, and corps will be done away with, and the
soldiers and people will have some one person to
blame hereafter for any reverse or blunder; some
one from whom an explanation may bo domauded 1
directly for any apparent mistako made, and wo
Shall probably never again behold tho distressing
and humiliating spectacle of a groat people finding
fnuTt with first one and then another of the,,nation’s
faithful public servants. General Halleok is about
forty-two years of age, and was born in Weston,
- Oneida county, N. If., where bis grandfather-one
hundred years old, and halo and hearty-latoly
resided. General Halieck’s father wa> tho
Hon. Joseph Hallook, who died about throe years
since. General Halleok entered the Military Aca
demy as a West Point cadet in 1835, stood third in
tho claBS, and was brevottod second lieutenant of
engineers July 1,1839. Ho was acting assistant
profeßSor of engineering at the Military Academy
. from July, 1839, to June, 1840. In 1841 he was
' the aulhor of a military work on “ Bitumen and its
Uses,” &o. In January, 1845, he was appointed first
lieutenant, and during the year ho was selected by
the committee of the Lowell Institute, at Bos
ton, to deliver one of the regular course of loctnros,
the’ subject being “Military Science and Art.”
These lectures he oompilodin a neat volume during
the following year, adding thereto a lengthy in
troduction on the « Jnstifiableness of War.” Tho
work contains much valuable elementary instruc
tion, as well as abundance of historical illustration,
and is written with ability. In 1847 ho was bra
vetted captain for gallant . conduct in affairs
With the enemy on the' nineteenth and twen
tieth days of November, 1847, and for meri
torious service-in California. He was Secre
tary of State of the Territory of California.un
der the military governments of Generals Kear
ney, Mason, and Kiley, from 1847 to the end.of
1849. He was chief of the staff of Commodore
Shubriok in the naval and military operations on
the Paoifio coast in 1847 and 1818, and was a mem
ber of the Convention, in 1849, to form, and of tho
committee to draft, the Constitution of tho State
of California. 1 In July, 1853, he was appointed
captain ef engineers, and resigned August 1,1854.

We have reoeived New Orleans papers with
dates to the 13 th instant, and our copious extracts
therofrom will show the state of affairs in the State
of Louisiana. General Butler continues “ going
further, and faring better.”
Moroan’s raid still excites attention. Wo give
to-day some further particulars of his doings in
Kentucky recently, and they are outrageous, cer
tainly ; but It is gratifying to know that he has
failed, thus far, in getting what he ventured North
for—recruits for his army.
We publish an interesting letter from Key West
this morning, giving accounts of the capture of the
British-Confederate steamer Adela, and a number
of other prises, all of whioh are now on their way
to Northern harbors to await adjudication.
A London weekly, the Spectator, gravely al

An important despatch from Vicksburg, via
Cairo, gives a very different account of the escape
of the rebel iron-clad gunboat Arkansas. Our loss
was trifling, whilst that of the rebels is believed to.
have been considerable.
- The proclamation of Governor Curtin, for troops
to fill the State’s quota of the new requisition, will
arouse every loyal Pennsylvanian to a sense of the
necessity of promptly answering the country’s call
by enrolling a name in a new oompany—if not his
own that of a friend. '
The rebels in Warrington claim to have received
assurances that “Stonewall” Jaokson is at Gor
donsville now. So much the better. General Pope
will take the field -in person in a day or two, and
put Jackson to his “tramps,” or force him back
to Richmond.
, General Pope’s . cavalry reconnoissancc to
Beaver Dam Creek seems to have been very suc
cessful, and the result shows that the officer in
charge was skilful, judicious, and brave. Such
successes will give the people high hopes for the
future, and tend greatly to encourage enlistments.
Thirteen -prisoners of war, of the party who

Our news tom Southern papers is important,
and highly interesting. The usual grains of allow

tho groat seven-days battle as a Fodcral reverse,

The Mint is working np. to, its full capacity in

the demand' is so great,from other cities in the in
terior, that the premium docs not decrease vory
perceptibly.
The proclamation of bis Excellency the
G ovornor is printed to-day. He calis upon
the citizens of the State to furnish twenty
one regiments, as our quota under the new
call,and also to recruit the regiments nowin
the field, that have been weakened by battle
and disease. Those enlisting in the now re
giments will be reoeived for nine months,
those joining the regiments now in the field
will be received for a y e&r. In making the
call, the Governor impresses upon the minds
of his fellow-citizens the necessity for making
renewed efforts to crush the rebellion, tie
does not offer any Aitiihg
kirn self at liberty to transcend the powers
belonging to him by assuming those belong
ing to the Legislature. “ Tho Constitution,”
he says, « prohibits me from drawing money |
from the treasury without authority of law,
and I will not cast a doubt on the patriotism
of our citizens by assuming the necessity for
calliDg the Legislature at this time. This is
no time to wait for legislative action and the
negotiation of loans. Delay might be fatal.”
From this we would infer that the Governor
has no idea of summoning the Legislature
together, as had been anticipated by some of
our cotemporarios. In doing this he pays a
compliment to the public spirit of the people,
and we are convinced his confidence will not
be misplaced.
This apDeal of the Governor leaves but one
duty to every Pennsylvanian. Tho honor of
the State —the safety of the Republic—tho
great peril in which we now find the nation—
all demand immediate, energetic, and bold
measures. If ever the country needed the
service oi her sons, she needs it now. If over
the honor of Pennsylvania was dear to us,
if is at this time. Whatever the reason,
we find that our work is by no means over.
More sacrifices must be endured, more blood
must be shed, more trials are in store for us.
The cause of the Union must not be permitted
to swing and balance in the scales. Every
i energy wo possess, every dollar of gain or
! possession, the bloed of our veins, life itself,
must be freely given to tho country. When
! the first call was made for troops, after tho fall
of Fort Sumpter, Pennsylvania made a re
sponsoworthy ot herself. Mow,when another
danger has arisen, her devotion will be as
grandly and gloriously manifested.
Our naval operations on the Mississippi
haye received one of those salutary checks
that are constantly needed in a successful
warfare. We have had things pretty much
our own way on the Father of Waters, our
only disaster of moment being the faux coup
on the White river, and that fairly attributable
to an accident. The southern-bound portion
of the" fleet has won immortal honors ever
since its start at Cairo, and its bombardment
/ 0 f Island No. 10 and its glorious victory at
Memphis have given it such impregnability in
our eyes that we have thought nothing could
resist or damage Commodore Foote’s naval
force on the Western waters. To increase
our confidence, Commodore * arragot ran
..such a gauntlet of murderous fire as m
all the" annals' of previous naval warfare
•bad never threatened fleet with destruc
tion. The planning and direction of his
manoeuvres disclosed consummate skill;
their accomplishment evinced a dauntless
daring that received no more than a fair re-
the splendid occupation of the great
strategic point of the Southwest. That
fleet swept on its triumphant northern course,
meeting no reverse, and bnt little resistance;
and when it was announced that it would meet
its northern partner before. Vicksburg, we
laughed at the idea of that city’s giving us
any serious trouble. We were in the habit _of
hurrahing. The whole length of the Missis
sippi is ours, a mighty coil around the rebel
lion and if some cautious Mend suggested
the parenthesis, Except Vicksburg, » was re
ceived as of not sufficient importance to affect
the general conclusion. How is it now ?
What command, more than nominal, have we
of the river ? So much that troops and sup
plies were recently taken across in aid of
General Hindman . So muchthatthe strongest
fortified bluffs defy our approaches, and make
a rallying-point and a ferriage for the,whole
rebel army of the Southwest. *So much so
that a Second Merrimac has rushed down from
the Yazoo river, and is now safely anchored
under the fortifications of Vickspurg.
The idea that the protraction of the siege of
Vicksburg is a politic piece of strategy on our
part is simply absurd. A force of some 20,000
men is, indeed, thus kept there; but it is m do
fiance of our avowed plan of conducting the
campaign-gaining Ml control of the Missis
sippi and pushing' the rebel force east
ward, compelling them to concentration and. a
final struggle. The rebel policy is an excel
lent combination oi diffusion and concentra
tion • they scatter their forces over wide areas,
Urns' requiring us to keep a guard of equal
magnitude j at the same time, they are certain
of being able to concentrate enormous forces
at any threatened point, since they act on inner
lines of defence. It is a matter of the
last importance to the rebels to hold Vicks
burg—not only with’ reference to its possible
future usefulness, as affording a passage across
the Mississippi, but as further developing their
plan of separating our armies and breaking
their strength by denying to them concerted
action. This encircling of the rebellion is ex
actly wbat its name denotes; it must be a per
fect circle; let there be but one flaw in the
line, and the whole plan is worthless. How
well the rebels. know this is evident from
the fact that they have broken our circle
on four sides, and at such important
points that our purposes are. quite de
feated. On the East, Charleston and Sa
vannah are still held; on the South, Mobile;
on the West, Yicksburg; and on the North,
Kentucky and Tennessee, as long as they
can make raids into them on as laige scales
and' involving as serious consequences as
we have just seen. This cry ot strategy
was raised when we found Island No. 10
would not yield to us;-but every one now
knows of what value it would have been to us
if we could have got possession of it before.
The same plea is urged whenever we meet a
reverse, and betrays weakness and want of
self-reliance. It is mischievous iu its effects,
also; we persuade ourselves to believe it, and
underrate the significance of our defeat.
There is a lesson and a warning; and it is the
part of wisdom to learn the one and heed the
other.
The news of the battles before Richmond
reached England on the 10th inst., and, as
might be expected, caused no small excite
ment in political and commercial circles. Not
withstanding all its former anxiety in favor of
the “ so-called Confederate States,” the Lon
don Times now oflera great resistance to any
European interference in the American con
test—rather, more correctly speaking, it de
clares itself against any.mqyementof this side,
on the part of England, but gently insinuates
that, aided by Russia, the mediation of France
might advantageously be proposed. Russia,
however, is not in a condition to interfere.
The Czar, who has already shown himself so
loyal with respect -to us, has no reason for
changing his course—moreover, he has enough
to do at home; between'the serf-holdingnobles
and discontented Foies, and, at any rate, is
not likely to allow Napoleon to use him as a
cat’s paw in this or any other public manner.
It is on the cards, however, that Napoleon
himself is not inclined, just now, to commit
, himself against this country. Without placing
any reliance in the bold assertion in a Wash
ington letter in a New York paper, that« a
secret treaty was negotiated between Napo
leon and Secretary Seward, at tho beginning
oi the war, through Archbishop Hughes, in
which it was agreed that France should not
interfere in the American struggle, and should
he permitted, in return, to do what she pleased
with Mexico, without remonstrance thorn the
United States,” we believe that Napoleon,
knowing that mediation would hero be con
sidered as an impertinence, will not proffer it.
In England there is a division of opinion.
At present, Palmerston declares against any
interference. ■ No doubt the bulk of the popu
lation; thoroughly imbued, from their youth
upward, with anti-slavery principles, cannot
have any very friendly feeling for the South,
where slavery so long has been a favored In
stitution. The Liberals, consisting chiefly of
the Whigs, cannot forget, if they would, that
their old leader, Charles James Fox, chiefly
deserves to be honorably remembered by bis
exertions to abolish the Slave Trade. The
Queen herself is known to hold decided
opinions against slavery, no matter what
its form or locality, and, -to a certain ex
tent, the feeling of the Sovereign, upon cer
tain subjects, must have some weight in the
Cabinet. ./.
In Parliament, a very small party is avow,
cdly in favor of the South. In the Lords,'tho
only thick-and-thin champion of Eeboliion is
tho Earl of Carnarvon, a young nobleman
who appears bent upon gaming notoriety, if
not reputation, by taking up a forlorn hope
and battling for it. He it was who, in a
theatrical manner, and even:with a copious
elf'usion of tears, lately invoked the vengeance
of Divine Providence, (and of the House of
Lords.) upon General Butler for his pro
clamation regarding such women as should
insult the Union flag in New Orleans. In tho
House of Commons, only four members have
n_vmvP.fl, ri t>r) riar l
Sir John Walsii, and Mr. Lindsay. Gke
gory is tho avowed, if net the hired agent of
the South. Fergusson is the man who, arriving
in Washington from Richmond, brought with
him abushel or so of letters to disaffected people
in the North, and handed such as he could de
liver to the parties to whom they were ad
dressed to Mr. Seward, with tho air of having
done a very noble deed. Sir John alsh, a
writer of heavy pamphlets, headed the recent
anti-Butler movement in the Commons, and
Mr. Liniisay, the ship-owner, who pretended
to have been sent hither by the British Go
vernment to negotiate a commercial treaty
with tho United States, hut was publicly and
oven contemptuously repudiated by Earl
Russell, is angry with the great Union
ports of Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York,
Boston, and Portland, because they did not
see the advantage, to American trade, of
having a treaty which must mainly benefit
British commerce.
Out of the British Parliament, scarcely any
one favors the South, except the cotton
brokers and cotton-manufacturers of Lan
cashire. It is a fact that, before the South
went into Robbery and Rebellion, tbis Lan
cashire cottonocracy held decidedly anti
slavery opinions, and even subscribed largely
to the funds of the well-known Anti-Slavery
Society of London. Now, these people are
for recognizing thx? independence of the South,
frankly admitting (as at the recent open-air
meeting at Stockport) that they want our
troubles settled, simply and solely because «it
is from America alone that an immediate sup
ply of cotton can be expected,” and that, if
England recognize the South, this supply
must be «the immediate result.” . Self
interest always has been, and still is, the
ruling influence in Lancashire. .
Bo far, Palmerston has fairly carried out his
later poliev of declining to interfere with the
belligerents of the United States. Were he to
propose intervention, we do not think that tho
British Parliament would willingly endorse
such a policy. But Palmerston has several
ways of getting the Commons to vote as he
desires. He can tell them that it is a Cabinet
question, the defeat of which would involve
the resignation of Ministers or the dissolution
of Parliament—these being the bug-bears with
which the Commons, as experience has shown,
are most easily alarmed. During the present
week, most probably, tho Parliamentary Ses
sion will close, and from that time until the
beginning of-next February Palmerston will
virtually be Dictator, with power of doing al.
most anything by an Order in Council, which,
when Parliament reassembles, anactof indem
ntty would speedily legalize. It is this abso
lute power, held by Palmerston's unscrupu
lous hands during the next six months, that
we have to dread. Palmerston, an old Tory,
inherits all his party’s antipathy to our free
Republic, and is not to bo trusted. When
least expected,he can find or frame an excuse
for throwing the weight of British antagonism
in the scale against us. At present, we re
peat, he affects a disinclination to do so.
The naval and military reinforcements des
tined foi Mexico fey KAronEox, are to be de
spatched, it appears, without any delay. T 1
original intention of not sending General Fo
bey and a large army to Vera Cruz until Sep
tember is abandoned, and both arms of the
service will be strengthened, simultaneously
and speedily. It may become a grave ques
tion, ere long, whether the Monroe doctrine,
prohibiting foreign occupation and acquisition
on this continent, shall be enforced against
Napoi-eoh, or be allowed to become a dead
letter. - _

THE PEESS—PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1862.
BETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.”
It most be recorded to the credit of those
who insist opon a vigorous prosecution of the
war, that all bold measures, as shown by the
experience of the last year, have been, effec
tive against the rebels and popular with the
masses. The most thorough policy ■ has
proved to be the most -successful. No
statesman or soldier has lost the confi
dence of the country because ho has gone
too iar against the traitors. It we had had a
hesitating policy in Baltimore, last April a
year, they would have swept Maryland into
the maelstrom of Secession. General Cad
walader offended his former friends by sending
Col. Lee into court to refuse the delivery of
Merriman at tho behest of the Chief Justice
ot the United States. General Butler followed
with his daring and determined code, great
ly to the disgust of the same parvenucs. He
bei robbers and rowdies were punished—rcbe
genllemen were imprisoned—and rebel “la
dies” were politely instructed that a female
could not be a spy with impunity, and.that hor
sex did not protect lier from disgrace. Andrew
Johnson then appeared upon the scene, making
good by practical proofs, in Tennessee, his
patriotic professions in the United Statos
Senate. He used no Esau hand against the
ingrates and spies around him. If his hand
was covered, it was with a gauntlet, not with
a glove. It'was the same to him: priest,
patrician, or military leader; female, former
iriend, or fanatic.. If they offended his orders
they were rebuked and chastised. General
Butler reappears in New Orleans, and re
enacts on a larger stage, and with many more
accessories, the scenes that have made him
historical in Maryland.
In these cases the leaders who have acted
most boldly, and promptly against the traitors
have been remembered with gratitude by the
people, and with approval by the Federal au
thorities. There is a great comfort to thorough
men in this fact, and I reproduce it for a pro
fii able purpose.
Major General Hallcck, who is hereafter to
occupy a high position at this point, was the,
“progressive” spirit in his military district
in the West. Ho punished the traitors in
the field, and those who sympathized with them
in private life: Mis plan, at first pronounced,
was, after duenotice, inexorably executed. Ho
had some difficulty in discovering the secret
foes, but when he unearthed them, he made
them bleed copiously by opening their money
veins. In this way he punished them and
compensated and indemnified the suffering
families of the Union soldiers.
General Halleclt will havea most interesting
field upon which to operate here, especially in
view of the fact that we are to have a more de
termined general policy against the rebels.
General Wadsworth, our present Military Go
vernor, has been determined in his course,
but he has been thwarted by many considera
tions and interests in his efforts to expose and
prevent the intrigues of the sympathizers
around him. If it was right to put down the
aiders and comforters of treason in Baltimore,
St. Louis, Memphis, Nashville, and New Or
leans, is it not more right to crush out the same
class in the city of Washington ? This metro
polis is ‘ situated between seceded East Vir
ginia and half-seceded Maryland. Upon its
possession many great interests undoubtedly
depend. But it has so happened that hero,
where we ought to bo very strong, we are
weakened by the prcsenco and the intrigues of
the sympathizers with Secession, and not
sympathizers only, but by agents and at.
torneys of the leaders ol the rebellion,
of the assassins who seek the heart’s blood
of the Republic, and who, greatly as they
have damaged and wounded the Government be-
fore, ARE HOW MORE POTENT FOR FATAL MIS
CHIEF than ever. When we consider the
priceless blessings conferred by the Union
upom all our people, we shall he not only
amazed at the ingratitude of those who, after
enjoying these blessings, oppose the power
conferring them, hut at the comparative indif
ference of our Government. Let us take care
that Washington is not made the headquarters
of a conspiracy only second to the rebellion
itself.

THE ESCAPE OF THE REBEL GUNBOAT ARKANSAS,
A DESPERATE ENCOUNTER.
THE INJURIES TO OUR FLEET LIGHT.
OUR LOSS TWELVE KILLED AND FIFTEEN WOUNDED.
Cairo, July 21.—The despatch boat which ar
rived at Memphis on Saturday brings tho follow'
ing :
The reported escape of the rebel gunboat Ar
kansas is oorreot. The affair took place on the
morning of the 15th.
In consequence of reports brought by refugees,
that the rebel gunboat Arkansas was about to at
tempt to run past the Federal fleet, the gunboats
Carondelet, Tyler, and the ram Lancaster, started
up the Yazoo river to reconnoitre. When eight
miles from the mouth, they came suddenly upon
the Arkansas, lying under the banks. As our boats
rounded the bend, she opened upon them with her
68-pounders. Oar gunboats returned the fire for a
short time, and a fierce engagement ensued.
Finding tbe channel of the river prevented suc
cessful manoeuvring, they gradually dropped
down towards the mouth, the Arkansas following
closely. Just as the latter was passing over the
bar the Carondelet closed with her, intending to
board. She succeeded in throwing a grapnel
aboard and getting out a plank, when the Arkan
sas opened her steam pipe, throwing hot water
across the plank. The Carondelet replied in the
same manner. While thus engaged both vessels
grounded and tbe shock separated them. The Ar
kansas succeeded in getting off, but the Caronde
lefc remained fast for nearly an hour. The Arkan
sas immediately passed down tho river, tho Tyler
preceding her and maintaining a running fight with
her greatly superior adversary.
None of our gunboats with the floefc had their
steam up, and the entire fleet was so scattered that
few of them could fire at the Arkansas as she
passed, without the danger of hitting our own
boats. As she approached, such boats as could safe-
IyC do so opened upon her, but her plating re
sisted most of the shot. A solid shot from Comino
j dore Farragut’s‘gunboat, No. 6, struck her larboard
bow, passing through under the plating, ripping it
off for a considerable distance. What further da
mage was done was not ascertained. The injuries
to our fleet were light.
The Benton received a shot near the edge of the
after part on the larboard side, killing one man.
Tho Tyler, which engaged the Arkansas nearly an
hour and abalf, had seven killed andnino wounded.
Among the latter were Pilots Sebastian and Hinoe,
and Engineer Davis. • -.»
The ram Lancaster.ofecoiTod a shot under tho
boilers, causing !m escape of hot water which
.gs&l.flg.d_six men, three of them fatally.
Ihe rebel loss is not known, but it is believed"to
bo considerable, as the hot-water streams from the
Carondelet, at tho time she attempted to board her,
were thrown direotly into her.

Special Despatches to “ The Press,”
Washington, July 21,1862.
Gen. Halleck—lM on-Arrival.
Thus far, no official announcement has been made
of tho statement so widely published, that General
Haileck is to be stationed here in command of
the armies of the United States in Virginia, though
such confirmation is anticipated every day. So far
as can be learned, General Hallbok has not yet
arrived in Washington, though his expected arrival
has been announced daily for a week past. It
seems now to be generally understood that General
H. will assume executive oommand of military
affairs, remaining at the War Department.
The Call for JS ew Trooiw—Thirty Thou-
The accounts received from the various sections
of the oountry are very favorable. It iB believed
that over thirty thousand men have been enlisted,
while a number of the new regiments have been
mustered into service, and are on their way to
their respective destinations. :

Removed to the Capitol Prison.
A number of rebel prisoners, occupying five
wagons, were this morningremovedfromCliff
hurne Hospital, t* the Old Capitol Prison. These
prisoners, were some of the siok and wounded who
were captured in tho battles of Williamsburg, Fair
Oaks, <£c , and who were placed in the hospitals
here for medical and surgical treatment. As fust
as they become convalescent, they are removed to
tho prison for safe keeping.
The New Naval Grades.
The nominations sent to the Senate Thursday
under the new naval grade bill were not acted upon,
and it is found impossible to carry out this highly
important and useful law. The nominee for rear
admiral was objected to, and the entire list was,
therefore, laid aside.
Colonel Larked, T paymaster general United
States army, has been very ill for. some days past.
His health has long" been precarious. At present
his condition isentioal.
The last issue of the Daily Xxlobe was published
to-day. It will not be resumed till the next session
of Congress.
The new act, increasing temporarily the duties
on imports, has not been published for general dis
tribution yet, but will be issued in a few days. The
demand for copies is very great.
Pennsylvania Mail Route.
A contract has been entered into by tho Post
Office Department, with the Cumberland Valley
Bailroad, to convoy the mail from Chambersburg
by Marion, Greencastle, and the State Sine, daily,
to Hageistown, Md j from July 21, 1882, to June
30,1864. No service is required on Sundays.
The following is an extract from a letter found in
the post office at Jacksonville, N. C., upon the oc

and took the skull bones with them to send home

military possession of Mr. Bitting’a chureh.
This was immediately done by the adjutant.
From the. proceedings of the Presbytery of Alle

Washington, July 19,1862.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sir : The accompanying list of Pennsylvania
soldiers, siok and wounded, in and near Richmond,
is not oomplete, but comprises as many names as I
was able to got while engaged among them at Sa
vage's Station, and in the Libby prison in Kich
mond. Some of the men bare already been sent
down the river on parole. Those who were at Sa
vage’s and in the neighborhood were removed to
Richmond last week, and confined in the Libby
warehouse’ and in tents onßello Island. The un
wounded officers are confined in a separate prison.
Generals McCall and Reynolds are confinod in the
same building, and are allowed no greater liberty
than the others. They occupy a small room in the
corner on the Beeond floor. They are both well.
I saw there also Colonels Simpson, Jackson, Galla
gher, Stockton; Lieutenant Colonels Hatch,
Sweiteor ; Majors Birney, Davidson, and many
others. Those I have named are quite well,
and in as good spirits as oircnmstances
-will permit. I learned from Colonels Galla
gher and Simpsen, that they, with their regiments,
(11th Pennsylvania and 4th New Jersey,) occupied
the centre of the line of battle in a close wood,
fighting from an hour to an hour and a half after
our lines had retired, not knowing what was going
on at tho right and left. They wore only made
aware of tho retreat of our lines when surrounded
by the army of the enemy. 196 of the Hth were
killed and wounded, and about 366 captured. Of
the 4lh New Jersey, 139 were known to be killed
and wounded—the whole loss supposed ts be about
200 ; missing 75, captured about 300. I saw those
geDtlemeu on Tuesday last, and left Richmond the
same day. Our sick and wounded are in a wretch
ed condition, lacking ail the requisites'to a speedy
recovery, and many must die who would recover
if they .'could reach the hospitals of the North.
Respectfully yours, Felix R. Brunov.

The series of battles before Richmond is treated as a
severe reveree for the Unionists by the whole British
press, and Gen. McClellan’s position is regarded as pre

Lord Palmerston stated that the British troops would

The recognition of Italy by Busaia and Prussia baa
been announced in the Italian Parliament.
AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
The London Times says that the fighting before Rich
mond must have been of the highest importance and that
Gen. McClellftn’e position cannot but be precarious. These
battles of the three days of June mean that the Confed
erate army is strong enough to hold its position in Vir
ginia for a time that may be indefinitely prolonged, and
evidently the Federate will have again to begin the siege
of Richmond with a much worse chance than at first.
The new American tariff continues to excite strong
hoitile commentfroro the press. The Times bitte»ly de
nounces the spirit which regards the tariff with satisfac
tion because of its injurious effect upon England ia par
ticular and Europe in general.
The London Past says that the tariff will be looked
upon in Great Britain as a measure tantamount to a de
claiation of war,and thus the unpopularity of the North
ern States .will-not only be tembly aggravated, but it
will impart something more than moral effect to the
came.
- The London Herald treats the affair before Richmond
as a decisive defeat of Gen. McClellan, and Bays (he Con
federate capital is safe. It does not believe, however,
that tie campaign in Virginia is ended, but supposes
it trill go on until Europe Bta*s the uplifted swords and
in thename of humanity enforces peace.
The London Morning Post argues that, prajticaliy,
the scheme against Richmond has terminated. It thea

Guerilla Warfare.
To the bditor of T/te Press:
Gersiantows, Pa., July 18,1862.
Whilst the public mind is disturbed by the guerilla
warfare organized and carried on by the rebels, a
great deal of good might be done towards quieting
many by your calling attention to Napier’s obser
vations upon the gttet Vila system, as practised in
Spain during the “Peninsular war.” Obey will
be found in the latterpart of the first chapter of the
9th book of “ Napier's Peninsular War.”
She whole system is so thoroughly debasing to
those who practise it,: that it is to be hoped we shall
never adopt it; moreover, it is the strongest evi
dence of disrupted vitality in any cause. G. D.
