Farharut is not forgotten. Engaged as a mid shipman when a youth in the Anierio&n navy, he did what he could manfully, to detend his oountry against the machinations of haughty England. He is the Idol, to-day, of the American navy. “ Farragut and vioiory ” is the battlo-ory of the Yankee tars. The hero of New Orleans (the most oxiensivo and best managed batUo in alt naval history) plaaes him at the head of the navy by merit; and the length of his faithful pub lic service places Mm in that exalted position by rank. Farragut has saorifiood more for his oountry than somo other men who command our fleets. Ilis family connections are known to he ’Southern; his wife a native of the city of Norfolk, and, we are pleased to say, a Union lady; his wife’s sister, who now resides in Norfolk, with her relatives around her—all opposed to tho Government which Admiral Farragut has labored so leng ana zealously to uphold. A near relative of tho Admiral’s recently made (his remark : “ I hate the Commodore for his oause, but I love him for his courage and wonderful ability as a naval commander.’’ Wo are proud to see his name at the head of tho aotive list of rear admirals in our navy. His promotion will incite him to new and enhanced zeal in carry ing on tho war for tho pre servation of our glorious Union; and then, as the chief in command of all our navies, be will see to it in bis old age that the stars and stripes float tri umphant and respected on every sea and on every lake and harbor of the known universe. General Halleck has promised to carry oiit tho vigorous polioy recently declared by tho Go vernment, in a most stringent manner. Wo shall not play at war any longer. Those foolish South ern people who insist upon being traitors either in Word or deed aro to suffer for tho crime to as full an extent as possible. Their substano? will bo con fiscated for the benefit of the Union and our bravo and deserving troops, whilst the slaves of tho chivalry will he employed to do tho former “ dirty work” of our volunteers. Those who enroll their names under the new requisition will have the gratification of knowing that they enlist as soldiers and not as sappers and miners. THE NEWS. THE Cincinnati Gazette has' a rumor that Val landigbam hua th sip poured from Dayton, Ohio. His speeches, which had been packed in Hoyt’s truck, have been seized. Ex-Senator Green, of Missouri, now at large on parole, was in Wheodng on Sunday last, and was the guest of Senator Carlile. Oh the 16th ultimo, late at night, John Cochran, from Jefferson county, Pa , landed at the wharf at Gallapolis, on the Ohio, from a raft, his object being to obtain a newspaper. Hot finding any at the wharf-boat, he passed up town to tho news depot, and on his return was ordered to halt by the guard on duty at the square. It seemed Mr. Cochran was not aware of soldiers be>ng located there, her that he was tho person addressed. Passing on without heeding the order, the guard fired, and the ball took effect just above the knee, severing the main artery. Every exertion was made by Captain Moulton and those present to save his life. Arrangements were made for his removal to the hospital, but before reaching it he died from loss of blood. The Alton (Illinois) Telegraph states that thirty five rebel prisoners who were confined at that place escaped on the night of tho 25th. Among them was Colonel Beriah Magoffin, who was under sen tence of death for breaking his parole. They had tunneled a hole from the oven to a distance of six feet from the'scntlnel’s post. They had been care lessly watched for some time. Two or three havo Since been retaken. Gen. Rousseau has declared that two of his cardinal principles of action shall be to make the supporters of the rebellion feel heavily the conse quences of forfeiting the protection of the Govern ment, and to suffer no man, with his consent, to lay the weight of his fiuger upon an escaping slave, without first taking the oath of allegiance, s.' Colonel Cl use set, of the Army of the Shenan- doah, has sent to Paris a long letter, which appears in the Siccle , and, eulogizes the American soldiers in the highest terms. Ho says that they possess Very quality of the Preach soldier, and two other > < j'plities beside —a patience and a resignation be- Vond ill belief. He speaks of their long marches Without food, end almost barefoot, as something »a -• Jhralleled in military history. . -uirfiles" A late urrivp.l frani Mei-i-kioont City covering \of newspiuii!'-*—‘ nttimo. Copious extracts will oVimtiid upon our first page. We are fortunate in being able to present this morning Colonel Hovey’s official account of the recent sanguinary affair at Cache, Arkansas. Br a recent order of the War Department, the division of the gallant General Pit* John Porter has been increased, and is now called tho Fifth Army Corps, and General Franklin’s command is to be known as tho Sixth Army Corps of the Army of the Potomac. General McClellan now commands six corps (Tarntee, including those of Genorals Burn side and Dix, at Old Point Comfort. ■ Two new French dukes are spoken of—namely, MM. Walowkki and Perslgny. :' .

ItxTMSive t r) t-rs for iron-eased vessels are now in course of execution in England for the Russian Government. The news from Lebanon is hot satisfactory, as it is said lhat ihc Druses of the Haram testify some intention of again rising against the Christians. The works on tho Isthmus of Suez are being urged most energetically. More than twenty-fivo thousand men are at present employed in cutting the canal. It has been calculated that the fibres of pure sea island cotton average one inch and three quarters in length. If it were possible to place the fibres end to end, one pound would extend four thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven miles. A numerously-signed memorial lias been pre sented to Mr. Gladstone, urging him to recom mend the English Government to assist in the per manent maintenance and support of the Eoyal Academy of Musie. The work on the new Monitors is progressing with more rapidity than the public aro aware, and it will not be many days before another “ cheese box” will he a dost. The great source of annoy- Vnoe to those on board the Monitor now afloat is a laok of proper and sufficient ventilation, but in those now being built the difficulty will be over come, and life will be more tolerable than in the No. 1. From Key West we learn that fears are enter tained that the rebels will succeed in giving us much trouble in, and perhaps close by battery blockade, the’ grout Mississippi. Let us have a new Monitor down in that river as soon as possible, to assist the gallant Admiral Farragut—the hero of New Orleans. r Otm forces south of the Ohio and east of the Mis sissippi are distributed substantially as follows: Buell’s army—the army of the Ohio—is east of Oorinth, guarding the Memphis and Charleston road as far as the neighborhood of Chattanooga. ■She army of the Mississippi—Pope’s old command— Ison the Mobile.and Ohio road, stretching south as far« Brownsville. The army of the Tennessee (Grant’s) is on the Memphis and Charleston road, east of Corinth, and that part of the Mobile and Ohio which is in Tennessee. It will be thus seen that the great force lately under command of Hal ;leok is broken up into squads and i .H l ’&t>»-<* 1 - lino ji.. -—~-.nos ln extent. It is probable that events now transpiring will cause its constitu ent parts to bo again aggregated for offensive opera tions.: We have news by mail from Cairo, 111., to the 29th ultimo. It seems now that the rebels did not succeed in taking the town of Humboldt, Tennes see, as previously reported. At the late ball at Bourges, on the Empress Eu genie appearing, the may or presented to her a mag nificent bouquet tf natural exotic flowers, satin a rich holder of gold, with a handle of red jasper, tearing the anus of the town. ’ The Lord Mayor of London has reoeived*from Bombay 5>2j,0f,0, which has been subscribed under tbo auspices of ihe Bombay Chamber of Commerce for the relief of the operatives who ai« suffering from the consequences of the cotton famine. • Recruiting is going on actively and successfully in every State oft he Union. Pennsylvania is not behind the other States. We publish an interesting compendium of enlistment news to-day from all parts of the Stale. Our letters from Fortress Monroe and Norfolk this morning are highly interesting, and give some Indications of what the Government will do shortly. . in that neighborhood. ' 1 “ There whs some little.speculative exoitement in ' the’money market, and gold waa forced up to 115), but suddenly declined to 114 during the afternoon, Bnd the market closed heavy and unsettled. Old demand notes are quoted at 105, and money is •plenty at 4a5 per cent, premium. • The news from General Pope’s Army of Virginia continues to be of tho most gratifying character. All goes well in that army. Gen. McClbrnand's official report of the Ope rations ot his army ainoe tbe battle of Shiloh will be found highly important as a matter of history. Thb recent war meetings in Cincinnati and St. Louis were large and enthusiastic. Full telegraphio reports of these meetings will be found in this morn ing’s Press. Some 200 of the volunteers -of the United States 17th Infantry, with the band: of the regiment, marched through our stroets yesterday afternoon, to take the night boat for Boston. We do not learn where they are ordered. Tiie Chicago Board of Trade Battery was com pletely filled by enlistments within thirty-six hours from the initial proceeding of (he board. The Hon. John A. Kasson, First Assistant Post master General, having been nominated for Con gress by the Republicans of the Fifth district, (lowa,) has tendered his resignation as First As sistant Postmaster General. England has 4,359 troops in China. Conscience has a very* far-sighted eye. Dufy at a distance it can read with marvellous distinctness, but when the great tide of events, whose onflow is always a moral force, drifts an obligation into the very face- of the soul, it has a curious way—this ease-seeking heart— of quite ignoring any such uncomfortable fact. Tlie balance of this is the intellectual eye, which blunders blindly if it try to pene trate the mists of the future;'Oven when self love leads it, bvtt is abundantly Capable of de ciphering anti accurately computing the most confused account of loss and gain that the present can thrust before it. This is the rela tion of the two grand portions of man’s in ward being as constituted by nature, but it is not intended to remain ; on the contrary, every indication drawn from the faculties themselves points to exactly an opposite relation. We find the conscience capable of increasing its sensibility, and thus of appreciating facts close to it, while the intellect can Vastly extend the compass of its vision, and thus enlarge-the Sphere of life’s action. What is incumbent on the individual is equally Incumbent on the nation. The signs Of the times on which wo have fallen are not of one kind alone. They are both moral and intellectual, and must be read by head and by heart; and we not only imperil our national existence, but destroy every hope of national existence, by exaggerating either of those means to the exclusion of the other. Yet, if the balance between them cannot be fairiy struck, it is a thousand times better,to make the moral side preponderate; for when tho sealo of existence gravitates towards Right, Expediency is not cheated in the weighing. Military exigencies are now asking our in tellectual eye to look far and clearly; the God-given rights of a down-trodden people are forced oioae to us, and urge our moral* eye not to wink away their paramount im portance. We are, as a people, being edu cated in both these directions, but our greatest danger still lies in the latter. For a whole generation our blundering here has been mon strous ; but centuries are now being com pressed into weeks, and another generation will not bo given us for a readjustment of.our moral lenses. It must be done, and done at once. It will never do to trust to sagacity alone; that lias already driven us into the breakers, and will make shipwreck of us if we trust to what seems fit and ignore what we know is right. That the people have widened the scope of their mental discernment is plain from the new military activity at Washington. Wiil they now make their moral sense keep pace, and urge on the Administration to ele vate what has been before a question of mere political cunning to the dignity of duty and of moral law 1 Look where wc will, all the testimony is convergent. If we can find no comfort in it, in itself, we may bo encouraged by the defi niteness of its direction. It all points to the most stringent measures, instantly pursued. Looking to Europe, we, feel that we must very soon make good our position, or lose all chance of redeeming it. Looking to the South, we see a fury, a determination, a re-inspira tion, that will overwhelm ns instantly, unless our feet are more firmly planted. Looking to our own columns, we see them shattered, wearied, thinned—-very questionably capable of resisting another onslaught of tremendous odds. It is time to shut our ears to every distracting sound, and let nothing but the aw ful word, WAR, echo and vibrate through every nerve-fibre of our body politic. We have been to school of the rebels for a year, yet our smarting under their, rod does hot seem to have taught ns our lessen. It is—a terrible concentration of every energy upon this one bloody business in hand, a focaliza tion of all our scattered heat into one:burning, point. K-ejd awajtuiu gieV@B~has d®-. Oar foe without any seconds, 1 Jfiunimftvpressing us towards our last corner. There is something sublime—sublime as the Devil upon the throne of Hell—in his bold and: single purpose, his fierce and right ouw;rd march. Everything is sacrificed. All the or dinary laws of society are unceremoniously cut. Every temptation to swerve aside is pitched away with magnificent scorn. Com - mercial relations are cancelled. Wealth is seized. The labor of lifetimes is appropriated. All the sweet inducements of home are brushed away with rough hand. Individual rights are flipped up and submitted to the arbitrament of iho great law of national gravitation. Every thing bends to the public weal.. A central idea is seized and proclaimed. It is Slavery, and the supporters of its black banner are not ashamed of it.. They point their own masses to it, and blind us by floating it in our very faces. They have an aim ; not merely the establishment of their independence. They look deeper than that, and fight for the basis on which that independence is to be erected. They have honesty of purpose, and directness of'end. It is these which have massed them together so compactly ; it is these 'that have subordinated' every consideration to their paramount design. What are we doing ? Not yet have we got this tremendous idea of WAS stamped upon us. Not yet do we realize that it is a war of extermination, or, at least, of absolute domi nation, on one side or the ethor. Not yet do we see that it is war of principles, and princi ples so antagonistic that one must prevail to the utter exclusion of the other. We are carrying on our businesses of ordinary life. Wo ate enjoying onr firesides undisturbed. We are respecting all social relations, as if peace .was within all our borders. We are leaving the conducting of the struggle to vo luntary election. We are still blinking at the great problem underlying all the trouble; Wo have not called in our energies; we have not rallied them to the support of this single matter. , wrong—wrong a 6 quo s and wrong, if continued, ad fit tern. We cannot be at war, and such a war, and preserve the conditions of peace. Let there be direct war' taxes and conscriptions. Let there be the plainest ad ministrative promulgation of the nation's laws. Every resource must be made to con tribute. If we can strike the enemy a centre blow, let us do it. Not by gradually making tip our minds to it, and as slowly and gingerly feeling our way towards it; but boldly, in stantly. We are weak, and our foe knows it. Be will not wait till-we have recovered, but will swoop down on us before we have ar rangul in decent style the preliminaries of battle, and while wejara,_proc»i,iug ine --■••••s vr-cven/do/fy who can strike for the, national salvation. Washington is to-day in greater danger than it has ever been, and we are still dandling our dolls of conservatism and voluntary enlistment. Wo must first have a draft of a million men, half as reserves. victual force is needed at once; money can come afterwards. But this good-natured lethargy must be pushed away by the Executive, if the people will not banish it. Everything must be concentrated upon the one matter in hand—the awful matter in hand. It is WAR—and a war now not so much for defeating the rebels as for defending ourselves. Let us have the draft. A niSTiEOUiSHED OITICEB in the Army of the Potomac writes as follows : “ 1 am sorry to hear that recruiting is killed in Pennsylva nia, as it is everywhere for the regular ser vice, I fear, too, that recruits for the volun teers will not' come in rapidly. Wo need them much. Now is the time for our people to work to end this trouble. The enemy are straining every nerve, and raising armies which will enable them to meet us, as they have heretofore, two or three to one. If this army shall’he whipped through the supinoness of our people, or the weakness of the Govern ment, good-bye to our Republican Govern ment and the Union. I hope and expect success here—but a little strength is wanted, and we need it in our old regiments.” j Os Friday evening, at the New York great Recruiting gathering, held at the headquarters of the Irish Brigade, a speech was made by General T. F. Meagher, of unusual ability, eloquence, and truth. Alwayseloquent, Gene ral Meagher was especially so, on this occa sion, lor he spoke from personal experience. He has done good service in his command in the gallant Army of the Potomac, and can ac cept, as having won it by his brilliant and gal lant conduct, tho title of “ Meagher of «the Sword,’ ” once given him, in contumely, by tho London Times, that consistent enemy and libeller of all that is true, good, and patriotic, whether in Ireland or America. Two points in General Meagher’s speech are eminently good, because thoroughly prac tical. They touch upon tho interesting sub jects of Recruiting and Promotion. lie declared, what other commanders have endeavored to impress upon the public, that the army encamped by the James river .chiefly requires reinforcements, and can dispemso with new and undisciplined regiments. He stated particularly how his own Irish brigade was circumstanced. The 69th, commanded by that gallant soldier, Colonel Robert Nu gent, went info the battle of Fair Oaks, on the first of June, 750 strong, and is now reduced to 295 men. The 88th, originally commanded by Lieut. ColonelKELLiy and maintained most intelligently and gallantly by Major Quin lan, all through a month’s hard fighting from Fair Oaks to Malvern Hili, is reduced to 400 men. The 63d, which was not placed so close under lire as the o they two regiments of the Irish brigade, wants 200 men to bring; its force up to 750, the minimum strength of an infantry regiment. A thousand recruits added to this force, immediately incorporated with the three regiments, would soon be drilled into good soldiers, and, almost from the day they.jqjned, would be- f v®iuabie in the field of battle. Embodied in a separate regiment, at what time would it bo fit’ for service ? The reinforcements are wanted at once. “I ask for recruits,” General Meagher ex claimed, “last for them with a significant emphasis, and I ask for them alone.” There was abundance of officers. . There were enough, and more than enough of officers in Army of the Potomac. General Meagher continued: ■ : _ “Wewant no raw importations with unblem ished buttons-and virgin blades. |Continued groans.J. We want men—strong, honest, vigorous, hearty men—men with muskets, instead of straps across their shoulders. [Choers.J The officers now in commission, who have conducted themselves with ability in the field and have fought with honor, should have the first promotions. They should be advanced before every other claimant for military distinctions, no; matter how useful, enterprising, or potential the citizen, now devoured with the love of danger and immortality, and panting for double bars of gold, or silver eagies, should ohanoeto bo. [Cheers. ] Then come the non-commissioned officers. They should have the first commissibns-vacant in tbeir regiments [Cheers i The sober, diligent, brave sergeant, who has been in battle and stood the tempest as calmly as though it were a dress parade he was going through, should take tha lead in the army list of judges, bankers, the mostinSiu < ential politicians, or the most warlike of the Sena tors themselves. [Prolonged.cheering ] That is the way to do it. That is the "way to recuperate the Army of the Potomac, and make it stronger and bolder than ever it. had been Never mind new ' regiments until the old ones, that have proved their moiar and baptized their colors, shall have been sufficiently reeruited. Never mind sending us new officers until the vacancies now existing shall have been filled up by the .tried officers, commissioned and non-commissioned, who ore on the.ground.” : This theory of promotion is exactly adapted . to the requirements of the crisis, the institu tions of tho land, the independent character of h e people.. Lot us advance our soldiers with no other testimonial than those of conduct and " character. Let there bo one great army in which mere Patronage shall hot bestow the re ward which should be given to Merit only. Let the best men win the honors which their country has to distribute. It was said of (he conquering armies, of Napoleon that every fought with the conviction that he carried in bis knapsack the baton of a Mar shal of France, and that this conviction made heroes of them all. Let our gallant men have the certainty that good conduct and bravery will certainly advance them from the knapsack to the straps across their shoulders, and no power on earth can resist an army impassioned and excited with such hopes. : This is the plan : First promote deserving officers, and then commission the brave, dili gent, and sober sergeants, who have them selves risen from the ranks. When Welling ton was fighting in Spain and Portugal, part of his force, consisting of the Household Troops, as they were called, their young officers being members of the aristocracy, who knew nothing ot their duty, beyond the ability to pass through a review in Hyde Park or at Windsor, alter a few lessons from their adjutatft. These | declared that their regiments were virtually commanded by the sergeants, and he got com missions for as many of these as he dared to recommend. The sergeants of each regiment should be made subalterns whenever vacancies oecur. Let them have the fair play which such soldier-citizens deserve. w In recruiting and promotion, as we have here shown, from .bis , own eloquent declara tion, General' Meagher is practically right. We present his views to our readers, in the hope that they may make a suitable impres sion upon all whom they concern. : Tire Government issue of stamps, as a sub-, stitute for silver specie, which hoarders and speculatorshave combined to withdraw from circulation, will not consist of postage stamps. With great propriety, ; on the suggestion of Mr. Wai.born, postmaster of Philadelphia, stamps expressly prepared for this exigency will be used, redeemable by the Treasury in convenient amounts. At the same time, we repeat our conviction that the banks, to whom has been conceded the profitable privilege of issuing notes under the nominal value of §5, ought to compensate the public by giving spo-' cie in exchange for small notes presented to them. /-'Each bank, of course, to pay specie, for its own small notes only. If all tho ra. centiy-issued $1 notes were thus to be re deemable, there would be abundance of silver money in circulation. TnE Season at Atlantic City is now in its glory. There is a great number of visitors on the Island, but being generally, divided among all the houses, there has been little or no. discomfort from over-crowding. The bathing 5s now in its greatest excellence, and the health-promotive character of this delightful Philadelphia rosort was never more apparent, from accounts, than.during this season. A gentleman who has been sojourning at the Surf House (which, by the way, is peculiarly well situa ted for the comfort and convenience of bathers) bestows gr eat praise upon our townsman, Col Bon son,for the admirable manner in which that hotel is being kept. Every desire of his gue3ts is prompt ly met, and from presont appearances his house will have a great run until late in the season. Tho Hassler Concerts and Hops given at the United States have also, this season been a source of attraction that the boarders on the Island feel in terested in having continued. To-day, we under stand, will carry down an immense number of ad ditional visitors. A dip in Old Ocean at least«noe ayearhas, in fac£, become a necessity to the health of everybody, and this is the time to enjoy it. Victor Hugo’s “Hunchbacjc ofNotrb-DAme,” We perceive that Dick & Fitzgerald, the spirited New York publishers, taking a hint lately given in The Press, have just issued a translation of .“ Notre-Damo: de Paris,” the.great original .work of fiction on which, thirty years ago, Victor Hugo’s reputation as a romancist was founded. This fs a new translation, and we are glad to meet again Quasimodo, the Hunchback; Esmeralda, the beau, tiful, with her wonderful dancing goat; Gringorie, the penniless Bohemian ; the dread priest, and that incarnation of selfishness, handsome Captain Phco bus.

Some twelve to fifteen shot were fired at them, but with what effect is not known. The new Morrimac is'daily expected down the river. FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Bka»sr’A!;tbks ok thk Amur of thb Poro.vic, Au gust I—About 22 o’clock last night the rebels opened from the opposite side of the river with two batterioa of light artillery. ' The fire was principally directed to the mail boat laud ing, at the headquarters of 001, Ingalls, and thoahipping and eecumpmouts at Vt’cstover. Their places were handled well and fired with great rapidity, Four men were killed and some five or six wounded. Several horses also wore killed. The enemy had it all their own way fir some time, as our troops were not anticipating an attack. Bat the tliirly-two pontdera stationed close to Colonel logaU’s Headquarters soon silenced their guns. After they opened a few of the vessels were struck, . .but no serious damage was sustained by any of them. With this exception, nothing has occurred worth men tioning.

A Midnight Artillery Skirmish. FROM GENERAL POPE’S ARMY, Tie Forward Movement, WHAT GENERAL HATCH IS DOING, GENERAL POPE’S ORDERS Camp op Seoosd Corps Armt Virginia, near little Washington, Ya., July 28.—The present location of Gen. Banks’ Corps, and the favorablo change of weather, have greatly reduced the sick lists of tho several regiments ■composing the command, excepting the 6th Now York. The mortality in this regiment has been great for Beverai days past. Nothing 'can exceed the beauty of the scenery in this region. The village of Washington is situated at the head of a valley, at the foot of the Blue_Ridge, and envi roned with lofty spur of the Bame mountains, co vered with dense timber. The valley extends north and south several miles, and the divide of the valley has been teleoted as the camping ground. Excellent water is abundant, running on both Bides, fresh from the moun tain springs. In the election for delegates to the Richmond Conven ' tion, which thrust the State from prosperity into the jaws of the rebellion, and made its flourishing plantations scenes of bloodshed and desolation, this county gave over four hundred majority in a voteofless than nine hundred for a Union candidate. It is fair to suppose, and inter course with prominent men induces the belief, that the oath of allegiance will generally bo taken by an equal number without reluctance, provided they feel assured of our power and intention to protect them against Secession lyranny. In almost every instance our troops havo been kindly treated by the inhabitants, and the sick who found their way to farm-houses have been well nursed and pro vided for. . Bast Wednesday about fifty guerillas intercepted and captured a regimental train and two sutlers’ wagons be longing to this corps, between Front Royal and Win chester. Tho train was escorted by t venty cavalrymen, who made their escape. The next day » fores was sent to the spot, when the wagons and nearly ali of the con tents were recovered, bnt tho horses had beoa secured by the enemy. Since Middletown was evacuated by our forces it has been a kind of rendezvous for small roving bands of guerillas, bat no large force has been seen in that neighoorhood. Tho mountain gorges and ravines between Thornton’s Gap, west of here, to Chester Gap, near Fron t Royal, are known to harbor largo numbers of this class; they, however, are never seen in but scatter ing parties of twos,'fives Ac. On the 26th, two of General A. S. Williams’ cavalry escort went two and a half miles from. Washington, on a mountain road, to procure mess supplies. They stopped at a farm-house and procured dinner, which they paid for. The proprietor urged them to Btay longer, as he sel dom went from home to hear tho news. On leaving, w hen a few steps from the house, they were.flred on by four ginriflas, concealed in tho shrubbery. Both were wounded and one borßß was killed. By freely using their revolvers they made their escape. On examining the wounded men, a ball whioh had passed through the lowerpart of the back of one, was found in bis boot, and fitted the bore of a discharged pistol fonnd upon a gno ritla, who was captured the next day by Captain Denni son, of the escort. ' General Hatch’s cavalry brigade is activily scouting tho whole country from the enemy’s lines to this point. Not meeting with any largo forces, he, however, makes it too hot for spies and guerillas, many of whom are fre quently captured and consigned to the charge of Colonel BatobeJder, prevost marshal of this corps. It is the general expression that a considerable addition to our cavalry is required to perform a similar duty between here and Winchester, aa well as around Front Royal and Blraaburg. .. . ‘ ' Yecterday, a review and field exercise by com bined civisionß of the Second aimy corps took place here* The drill, appearance, and discipline of the troops wore highly creditable; but the hithorto conditions of the divisions and brigades having rendered corps ope rations impossible, there appeared great margin for im provement in evolutions en These reviews will be repeated whenever practicable. Gon. Banks command ed the whole in person. The artillery, of no inconsidera ble strength, was the object of univers *1 admiration. A feature of the day was repeated charges by cavalry upon infantry gQuareSj dashing, straight up to the bayonet points, and, on one occasion, breaking one of tho squares and getting inside. Without the least confusion, the rear rank of the square faced charged, and took the cavalry prisoners. Tents, which wore so burdensome on the march, have been entirely dispensed with, except, for officers’ use, and the light shelter tent, which each soldier carries, has been substituted. Some grumbling at first marked the change, but now all appear satisfied and comfortable.

To the Editor of The Press : t in : Statements occasionally appear in the news papers to tho effect that tho people of the Northern States are mainly descended from the Puritans, and those of the Southern States from tho Cayaliers of England. This is far from the truth. The inhabi tants of both seotions are of very mixed origin. In 'he Northern; States the Irish, the Germans, and the Dutch have contributed nearly one-half to the bleed of our people. If wo add the Swedes, the Ptench, and other European nations, wo shall find that England contributes less than one-half to the blood of the population. Of this English contribu tion it is not likely that the Roundheads composed more than two-thirds. In New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, the families of the Royalists set tled in no inconsiderable numbers. . The Southern' States were settled, to, a conside rable extent, before tho civil war in England. Un der the name of Virginia, the. two Caioltnas and Georgia were included. This Virginia was in limiting the time until the first of September. Yesterday a large number of then were obtained. The Zouaves B’Afriqud appear to bo riio most popular, and the regiment is rapidly filling up. , The* company of Captain Elliot, which was raised principally at Gennari town, alone has nearly seventy men enrolled.
