TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1862. IKir Wo cun fake no notice of unonj mona communica tions. We do not return rejected rnaougoripta. ■W Voluntary correspondence solicited from all parts of the world, and especially from our different military and naval departments. When used, it will be paid for. THE WAR. If General Pepe’s army has not obtained a, brilliant victory, we have, nevertheless, grouHd for§ congratulation In the undoubted laot that it has gained advantages of immense importance— advantages which the rebels would not readily have jeopardized had they not been over-00. fident of Buooess. Our army cad, if necessary, draw largely upon Burnside,'(who is but a day’s march from the Rapid an,) for relnforoomonts; while the rebels dare not weaken, by a single brigade, their force at and below Richmond, without inviting a for ward movement by the grand Army of the Poto mac. General McClellan (host undoubtedly de pends upon Pope’s co-oporation, and will not fail to seize upon his opportunity. The rebels of conrse appreciate their danger, as is evident in the cautious timidity of all their movements. Can they avert it? We confidently hope that the bat tle of Cedar Mountain has seltletl this question in the negative. Jaokson’s seoond foray against Banks, unlike his first, has proved a miserable failure in the estimation of every correspondent. A telegraphic despatch from the Associated Press agtnt in Cincinnati oorreots the statement in The Press that General Robert MoOook was upen his knees .begging for meroy when shot. We gladly make the correction, and at the same time state that as tie despatch came to us at midnight from our correspondent in Nashville, the error may have occurred during its hasty transmission. There was no design on the, part of our corres pondent to misrepresent the last moments of a bravo and accomplished officer. THE NEWS. Thb characteristic perfidy of the rebel Govern ment in refusing to release our imprisoned officers after their own had been returned to them excites a universal feeling of indignation among loyal oiti sens. In such an act of treachery the rebels have a polioy, bewovor, whioh has been dictated by some stronger motivo.tban their usaal laok of oommon justice and honor might aooount for. The widow of a United Slates ariny officer has writton a com. munication to the New York Post to say: “ With in the last three weeks, I met in the oars of the Now York Central Railroad a young officer of the Signal Corps, who was on bis way to rej iin it, after a brief leave of absence granted him to enable him to reoruit bis health, which had suffered from a two months’ confinement in the loathsome prisons at Richmond. He told me he had seen and conversed wiih Col. Corourua, and that the rebels refused to exchange him because they feared that if he were released the story he could toll of the outrages inflioted upon him, and the sufferings ho had endured in consequence of hisloyalry, would bring every Irishman in the loyal Stales down to Richmond to avengethe barbarous treatment ho had received for so long a time, and is still on during.” Can anything be more patent than that herein lies the secret of the enemy’s extraordinary dnpjjteiiy ? . OtJn .special correspondent with Buell’s army Sends us two lengthy and readable letters-from Ten nessee, describing the situation of military affairs, the face of the country, and the humorous epissdes developed in a trip partly by stage-coach through Secessia. ,i?BOM: Koy West wb have the. unhappy intelli. genoe'that the yellow fever has broken out in the toWD> and .Tews are reasonably entertained that it may spread to the troops. 1' e San Jacinto, which fefo arrived at-Boston, has thirty eases on board. Anotherorder relative to the evasion of the draft has been issued from 4 Washington. Its effect will, be to diminish the rigor of the preoediug ordor,' and no obstaolo mill now be interposed to prevent travel from State to State, except in the case o’ those who seek to shirk military duty. To attain this desirable object, a passport system is to be de vised. • Wb print in another column a description of the late ram: Arkansas, which was blown up by the rebel-. What t an ignominious ending for so brief a oareer, opening with such eclat! Her history, wo Ouspeot, symbolizes the course and fate of the rebel Confederacy. , "Our letter from Burnside’s division, dated Aug. 9th, foreshadows an important movement. The baggage trains are ordered to be reduoed, and it is believed that “quick, decisive blows are to bo Struok.” • V Jim Lake issues a proclamation to the people of. iansas, Nebraska, Colorado, and Dakota, urging them to stand by the old flag, fsr the defenoe of their hearthstones. A oAMr-MSETiNo was held by the blaok people of Long Island, near Westbury, on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday evening, a few drunken Irishmen (an exception to their rare) made an attempt to molest the peaceful assemblage. Stones and club 3 were burled into the camps, to the danger of the lives of both women and children. Cassius M Clay, instead of entering the mili tary service, is about to resume bis position as min-, ister to the. Court of *St. Petersburg. The New York Pof t says: “ Probably Mr. Clay, whose opinions on the subject of emancipation are so .welt known, is convinced that the recent deoision of President Lincoln aDd the present poiioy of the Go vernment Would debar him from oarrying out his own views, and would render his military system, as ebuosious to the Government as th“lof Fremont.’’ This drafted men of 1814 received no bounty, but, On the contrary, hud to furnißh their own equip ments, including gun, knapsack, canteen, cartridge box, and twenty-four rounds of ammunition. Their pay from Go vernment was $8 per month. Offers of substitutes were numerous, but very few were accepted. Highly interesting news from China, via San Francisco, appears inour telegraphic columns. The French Admiral, Brntel, has been killed in the taking of Mejo. The British admiral is preparing bis fleet, at Shangbae, to resist an attack which the rebels seem to meditate. From New Mexico, we learn that the rebel, Sib ley, haswithdiawn into Texas. Two companies of our oavairy, in passing through the Mtsilla valley, were attacked by the Apaohes, who were repulsed, but not without considerable loss to ourselves. Ik the matter of enlistments Illinois claims to be the banner Stale, Overweight hundred companies have already been tendered the adjutant general, who has applied at Washington for .authority to ac cept volunteers for nine months under the last caU. If this is allowed, as it probably will be, Illinois will undoubtedly furnish her full quota ot the six hundred thousand The prospect, for rapid enlist ments has never looked brighter than now.

Are we hoping that the leaders of rsbeldom do Dot know of the President's call and of the full, though slow, response that it will meet? Do we imagine that they are in nocently ignorant of the dozen Monitors that another month will push through their waters, and up to their chief cities? Let us save all such expectations for the time when wo cease to look into the Richmond papers for the last rfews from our own armies, or fail to find in the cabins of Richmond gunboats full i drafts of our .most in'ricate iron-cladsf All this is child’s play. Ve have cheated ourselves long enough. We must now look the matter squire in the face. We must play, both games. War is but a vast chess-board ; he who would win must play his antagonist’s game as well as—literally, as well as—his own. Let us see the terrible advantages that now lie in the rebels’favor. Let us duly appre ciate the incitements and inducements that urge them on; and knowing that they know the hopelessness of their cause, unless they strike overwhelming blows within the next three weeks, let us hurry forward these rein forcements now raising. What a spectacle it will be to the world if we are beaten just as we are, indubitably, about to beat; it our. ad vance is crushed while our vast reserve is just rubbing open its eyes. • In the name of the public safety, there must be, dare bo, no hesitation in this matter. Per sonal feelings, even personal rights, must be swept e'ean away. If Pennsylvania has al ready raised her quota of new regiments, let the numerous skeleton regiments that are over be instantly incorporated with those already in the field—all official consideration and mili tary etiquette to the contrary notwithstanding. Other States are preparing to take this some what rough but decisive and proper action. Will Pennsylvania be left behind ? i The private letter, of the niece of Jef feiisox Davis, Mrs. Kerry, dated Richmond, May 7, 1562, which has been ventilated in the newspapers, reveals the.innerlife of that arch traitor to the best government in the world. It is, probably, the most significant sign of the decay of-the rebellion, that Davis should at tempt to seek a refuge in the bosom ol the Christian Church for the ten thousand crimes of which he has himself been guilty, and for the tin thousand crimes into which he has driven so many others. All malefactors, when called upon to face eternity, attempt to purchase forgiveness by appealing to the Providence they have neglected and defied. .Mrs, Keary’s letter is a woman’s confession of man’s guilt. Talking of “Undo Jeff,” she says: ; “ Ob, mother,.uncle Jeff is miserable. Ho trios to bo cheerful, and to bear up against such a oon tinuauon of troubles; but, oh, I fear he cannot live loDg, if he does hot get some rest and quiet. Our reverses distress him so mueb, and he is so weak and feeble, it makes my heart ache to look at him. He knows that he ought to Bind his wife and children away, and yet he cannot bear to part with them, and we all dread to leave him, too Vatina and I had a hard cry about it to-day. There, was confirmation in the church to-day, and we all hoped so much that he would go forward for confirmation. But he did not; yet I have hope that, he will do so befprej.be Bishop leaves here.” In the postscript t Sit his letter (woman-like she has her postscript), Mrs.jtn.vnY states that the rites of confirmation had been admi. nisferedata later date, as follows: ‘ * “Unole Jeff was confirmed last Tuesday, in St. Pnui’s Church, by Bishop Johns. He was baptized at borne in the morning, before church. ” The condition of Jefferson Davis in May, when Hts. Keary wrote, was probably not fils condition in June, after. General Mc- Clki.i,an retreated to Harrison’s Landing ; but what is it now 1 The attack upon Mo -o‘i.ei.i.an was the attack of desperate and de spairing men; and its consequences have been to add new grief,’ starvation, and despair, to the rebel oligarchy. Davis, although the head of the Rebellion, was among the last to yield to it. He left the Senate with tears and prayers. Haughty, eold, and self-sufficient, be was too sensible* not to anticipate the dreadful responsibility ho at last assumed. Once embatked with robbers and murderers, he became a coward before their threats and violence, and to save himself rushed into ex tremes. He was thus forced to out-savage the savages around him, and to lead - the very wretches who, if he had not led them, would have destroyed him. So is it with, your cold philosophers, who in their talk of treason never think they may sometimes be asked to enforce it at the 'point of the bayonet,- Jefferson Davis never dreamed, while preaching Secession, that the : North would resist it. He has now discovered his error, and is, therefore, bowed in sack cloth and ashes. .In his misery he appeals to God for forgiveness. “ Sir,’’ said a blunt old British soldier, in speaking of a very bad fel low who bad sent for a priest on his death bed, “I can forgive my enemy; bat will God forgive a rascal who has been God’s worst enemy for fifty years, and who sends for the priest when ho is dying to ask bis aid and his influence ?” Even if Providence forgives Jef ferson Davis, : we fear “ Uncle Jeff” will not forgive himself. The nomination of Mr. James, P. Barr, editor of the Pittsburg Post, by the sympa thizers, ior Auditor General, was intended as a constructive compliment to the friends of the lamented Dooclas. In order to illustrate his title to the confidence of the men who fol lowed the flag of that intrepid statesman, it is interesting to note that this same Mr. Barr was one of the first toyield to the disgraceful fusion and fraud of 1800, by which they were deliberately deprived of their, rightful repre sentation on the Electoral Ticket. Judge Douglas himself openly denounced this coali tion with the Breckinridgers, yet Mr. Barr insisted that the fusion ticket should be sup ported, although a, majority of the men upon it were the avowed enemies of-Douaiis. The following article from the Pittsburg Post (Barr’s paper) of August, 1800, is use ful as a proof of his hostility to Douglas then, and of the consistency of his disreputable poli tics at this hour: “ No true friend of Mr. Douglas can, with any consisteney, favor this Harrisburg movement. It is in fact a Bolter’s ticket. ' The ticket nominated at Beading is certainly the only authorized and regular ticket of the Democratic organization of the State: We do not wish the name of Mr. Dou glas to be associated with disorganization, We do not wish to see him run on a minority ticket.; “ However, we are well assured that this Harris burg movement will meet with a lean and slender suppoit from the friends of Mr. Douglas in the Stale. The real friends of Mr. Douglas do not with a separate ticket in the State, and they will not support one placed in the field without the shadow of Democratic authority. “ The Crcsson compromise gives every Douglas man an opportunity to vote for Mr! Douglas and bis principles. It simply acknowledges what every man knows to be a fact, that there , is a division in* the party, and by a simple arrangement it allows those who do not.wish to vote for Mr. Douglas to expi css their preference for another. “But those who still hold out in favor of State disorganization 'openly admit that they prefer Mr. Lincoln to any other Democrat titan Mr. Dou glas. Their partisanship for the man has swal lowed up their fealty to the Democratic party. As for us, Democracy is first ami Democratic men afterward. There Is no Democrat of persona' cha racter and reasonable capacity whom we would not prefer to Bee in the Presidential chair'rather than Abraham Lincoln. ...4.,, “ We warn our friends at the outstart not to be misled by this Harrisburg movement. John W. Forney is at the head, of it, carrying out his bar gain with the Republican party to foment divi sions and sub-divisions m the ranks of the De mocracy in Pennsylvania, for the benefit of Lin coln, and those who go with him are most, if not i all, seeking a hole to sneak into that party." . The second uprising of the freemen of the North for the defence of the Onion bids fair, undor the attendant circumstances, to rival that which our - country experi enced after the fall of Fort Sumpter. As if scorning’the idea of a draft, tbe young men of the country are coming forth from the farm and the workshop in solid pha lanxes, which for a while astonish the, men to whem is given the authority, to care for our volunteers as into camp. The situation of our nation is compared to that of France during the revolution of 1793, hut we say it is superior,. for then! and there every ahle-bodied man was draft ed for the defence of the Empire. The great Republic of the West is about to say, intones that will shake the earth, that her resources in men and means are such that, though a million of soldiers are needed for the defence of liberty and her flag, they shall be forthcoming, and that at short notice. Our people accept the draft gladly. Already regiments are forming in all of the States, and by the fifteenth of the present month; astounding as the fact may appear, an invincible army of three hundred thousand men will rush to the assistance of the heroes who haye gone before, and are now proudly bearing the Union in safety'upon their bayo nets. : *r ' ' I.f-.t the men who are now enlisting cherish: our holy cause; let , them hoed the cry ef the blood of those who have fallen ; let thqm m >rch: with a determination to dethrone atnrchy in ' the South; and bumble-a ■ haughty J b'ftt false 1 aristocracy; let them go to the South to sub due the traitors—not tbe people who respect law— and possess the land for; the, inheritance of their children, who may look’back with pride, and say, “ Our fathers fought against treason and slavery.” Let the watchword be, « G od and my country forever!” Sir Allan Me Nab, the Canadian loyalist, who was knighted in 1888, tor his services to the Crown in the rebellion of the preceding yep, and was raised to the rank of baronet in 1858, has died at the ago of 64. He was prime : minister of Canada "in; 1856, and) aspiring to a seat in the British House of'Commons; was :an unsuccessful candidate at Brighton in May, 1859. His, eldest, daughter, was married,.in' 5 1855, to'i Viscount Bury, eldest son of the" Earl of Albemarle. - Sir Allah has left no son to succeed to his baronetcy.; He was simply a* weli-meariirigi red-hot loyalist, with not more than an average quantity of intellect. He was proud of his Scottish descent, and (of course) claimed to be head of his clap Some years ago, a Scottish visitor to Toronto, and the real chief, sent a card to Sir Allan, in viting him to dine, and signed “ The Hack ab f of Macnab.” Sir Allah, who was ibon-vwant, •accepted the invitation thus: “The other MoNab will come.” President Lincoln’s quaint and earnest speech at the Washington > public -meeting; should put to shame the timid and falsehearted in our midst. He'shows that, no matter how much men may doubt, and hesitate, and whine, the cause of the 'Kepublic is ‘ safe. There is harmony in the Cabinet, stieng’h in the Ad ministration, and good feeling between gene rals and statesmen. How many slanders and misconceptions the brief speech of the President dissipates, and'how; earnestly ‘ and boldly he meets the issues of the hour! All honor to the President of the United States! In our hour of peril no one bears a more hope ful and buoyant smile—no one exhibits a no bler and more.; self-sacrificing spirit—-no 1 one 'shows more candor to men of all opinions, or a .more earnest .and sincere desire to unite eveiy loyal man upon a common platform. That notoriously unreliable journal, the Ihdepcndance Beige, asserts that France, Rus sia, and England are negotiating a plan of mediation in American affairs, and that Eng land has received, without yet having de livered an opinion upon, the plan in question. All this seems highly improbable. England and France are not upon good terms just now, France has latterly drawn closer to the' alli ance with;Russia, as a counterpoise. After the friendly manner in which Russia has con ducted herself towards us ever since the com mencement of the war, it is most unlikely that the Czar would now nullify all his kindness by joining any other European Power in a very ungracious act towards us. Earl Rus sell, we see, recommends that English sub jects pay strict attention to Queen Victoria’s proclamation of neutrality, and justifies the vigilance of our cruisers at the Bahama Islands. There is no reason to apprehend European in terference under existing circumstances. All Honor to Philabeldiiia !—Her gene rous contributions; of men and money, have, aroused the admiration of the whole country. The Cincinnati Times says: Patriotic Philadelpiha.—The noble people of Philadelphia, are setting the. poopio of other States a noble example in making provision for the families of the men who go to the war. Within • eight or nine days up to Saturday morning, About four hundred thousand dollars had been sub scribed, and the work was still going on, The city government has also appropriated half a million of dollars to be expended in bounties to the volun teers. The subscriptions, however, are , most strikingly illustrative of the liberality of . the people. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company sub scribes $50,000 ; the Reading Railroad Company $25,000. , There were! up to Saturday morning, six sub scriptions of $5,000 each ; four of $3 000, five of $2,500, four of $2,000, two of $1 500, two of $1,250, and one hundred and twenty of $l,OOO. Besides these, there are some hundreds in sums ranging below $l,OOO. There has been no can vassing or soliciting of these subscriptions, but they have been,given voluntarily, the subscribers seeking the committee, instead of being sought after by the ■,collectors. Hon. Cases B. Smith, the Secretary of the Interior, is at the Continental Hotel, having returned from Bedford Springs.

JLBTTJE R FROM “OCCASIONAL.” Washington, August 11, 1862. . It is related that during Bonaparte’s first campaign in Italy, a revolt took place among the people of Milan and the country surround ing. Having-won the battle of Lodi, and in his own graphic words having “ rushed like a torrent from the fop of the Appenines,” over throwing and dispersing everything that op posed his progress, Bonaparte left Milan and advanced to the Adige. During his absence, the nobles, the monks, the servants of the fugitive families, and a multitude of creatures ot the-Austrian Government., got revolt against the French army. Their design was to raise all Lombardy in his rear and con summate bis destructions The citadel of Milan was seized, and a French general with a pistol at his bf ad was compelled to sign the order for its surrender. The revolt spread, and it was feared that it would result in the re establishment of the Austrian power in con quered Lombardy. As soon as Bonaparte heard of the occurrence he- returned at once towards Milan with a battalion of horsemen, a few companies of infantry, and a battery of aitillery, burned the village of Binasco, at tacked the city of Pavia, which surrendered after a short resistance, permitted his soldiers to pillage it for three hours, and sent his cavalry into the country around to cut down the insurgents. This severe example pro duced the proper effect—the revolt was at an end and peace was restored. “Adhering to my intention of not making war upon the peo ple,” said Bonaparte to the garrison of Pavia, “ I will pardon this act of madness, and leave a door open for repentance; but those .who shallnot instantly lay down their arms shall' be treated as rebels, and their villages burned.” This allnsion tea familiar incident in French history is suggested by the argument of Jeffer son Davis that the United States are fighting this war in a manner contrary to the usages of civilized nations. This is his justification of the rigorous order lately published in reference to the officers of General Pope’s command. I should be sorry, indeed, to think that, even in a war for its existence, onr country should be guilty:of inhumanity. The. objection to our method of war has been. its timidity and nervousness. We tried to fight without killing anybody. We looked upon the" conquest of the rebels as something to be accomplished without the interruption of the existing good feeling. The object of the war was notthal'victories should be gained, but that we might live again in love. We were Jnore ,anxiqns-abont the affections of the rebels than their submission to the constituted au thorities. General Pope dispelled this idea. Bis orders are familiar to your readers. They may have appeared harsh, but (hey certainly were necessary. Look at Bonaparte's mea sures when he held conquered Italy. He was not a severe commander—instances of his humanity are multiplied —yet we see him burning towns, pillaging cities, and summarily executing the men who had conspired against his authority. What reason is there that the citizens of the rebel States should be treated with more im munity than those of the provinces of Lorn, hardy 7 They talk of civilized warfare, and yet every rule of civilized war has been scorned by them. Their " bad faith in the ex change of prisoners; in continuing in con finement the hostages,for the privateers; in the case of Corcoran; in their treatment of our wounded and sick, and their atrocity to wards Union men in East Tennessee, Lower- Kentucky, and Upper Alabama, would disgrace the most barbarous nation on the earth. P_er jury, cruelty, and dishonesty are fit accompa niments of treason. Napoleon carried out tbe rules of civilized war when the people of Lombardy undertook to carry out schemes ; similar to those ? of the South, .and General Pope will undoubtedly imitate his example in Virginia. I am glad that Davis has so promptly ac cepted the challenge of Pope. It is the assu rance that we are to have war. The Admini stration has pledged itself to the course of its bold general ; the people will stand by the . Administration. His course is the true one. Bistory justifies it ; the example of the great est captain of Christendom may be quoted as an illustration and an argument. If we are in 'a warj'let us plunder, burn, and destroy; fori wax means!plunder, burning,and destruction.: Pope is in earns st, and Davis is-in earnest; ! let us see whose earnestness possesses the* THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, ATJGUST 12. 1862. most meaning and power.' Sword-point at last crosses sword-point; now for the parry, the grapple, the doath-thrast. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a' tooth, limb for limb, life for life, liberty lor liberty—this is the earnest way to fight, and let ua fight it like earnest men. Then the drams will beat harshly and the' bugles sound shrilly, for the music is that of battle, and no longer a dress parade. FR 0 M WASHING TON.

Edwin M- Stanton, Secretary of War. War Department, Adj dtant General’s Office,/ ! '■> Washington, August 11,1862. General Orders, Ko. 100.— First. So much of geneial orders No.-61, of the current series, as re lates to the extension of sick leaves of absence is hereby revoked, and no applications for such ex tensions need hereafter be made. The order of the _ President’ dated ’July 31 (general orders, No! 92) fully explains what may be considered as good cause for absence. Surgeons’ certificates of dis ability; required by the existing orders and regu lations, must be forwarded not only to the Adju tant General of the Army, but also to the com mander of the regiment, or, in case of a staff oflicer, to his commanding general. Second. Officers absent from duty without leave, or beyond the time of their leaves, will not be al-' lowed to draw pay until a court or commission, which will be ordered on their return to their post or command, shall determine whother there was sufficient cause ‘ for their - absenoe. They will ac cordingly provide* themselves with a full descrip tion of the nature and cause of their disability; cer tified by the proper medieai authority, as re quired by existing orders and regulations. i Third. Officers of volunteers who are absent fyom dufy'on account of- disease contracted before they entered the service,' will bo immediately mus tered out. Those who have been absent more than sixty days on account of wounds or disease; con tracted in the line of their duty will be reported to the Adjutant General of the army for discharge, in ord cr that their places may be filled by others fit for field service. For this class of officers Con gress has provided pensions. ■Fourth. Applications for pensions must bo made to the Commissioner of Pensions, who is the judge of the sufficiency of the evidence in support of such claim, and who furnishes the forms and regulations relating thereto. Fifth. When an officer returns to his command having oVcrstaid his leave of absence, ho may be tried by a court martial, for this is a military offence; or a commission may be appointed by the commanding officer of his division, army corps; or army, as the ease-may be, to investigate his case; and to determine whether or hot he was absent 1 ' from proper cause, aid if there should be found to be suoh proper cause, ho will be entitled to pay during, such absence. The prooeodings of such corhfiistion. will be sent to' the Adjutant Gonoral of the army for tho approval of the Secretary of War. Such commission will consist of not less than three, nor over five commissioned officers. Sixth. Where troops are serving in an army corps or an army no leaves of absence will bo granted on the certificate of a regimental’ or bri gade surgeon till the eamo has been approved by the medical director of such army oorps or army, and no medical director will endorse any certificate untilhe has made a personal examjaation of the “ applicant, or .received a favorable report fronTST medical officer appointed'by him to make such per -8 .Dal examination, and if upon such personal ex amination, it be found that the certificate of disa-s bjtity was given without proper cause, tho name of the medical officer giving it will be reported to the Ar jutant General of the army, in order that he may be dismissed from the service. Seventh. Where officers are, not serving in a division, army corps, or separate army, applica tions for leave of ’absence may be made to the Ad jutant General of the army, but, except in very ex-. traordinary cases, no'leave of absence will be grant ed, unless the application' be accompanied by a certificate of the same character as that prescribed io genera! ordersNp, 61. : , Eighth, In all cases of personal application for leaves of absence, mode to tho War Department, the applicant will he examined by a medical officer assigned to that duty in this city.

Another Order About Evading the Draft. Washington, Aug. ll,r- The following is a copy of a circular i£saedto ; day: ' . War DsrART.MENT, • WASHtNGTON, D. C., Aug. 11, 1862. To Military Commandants, \Provost Marshals, United States Marshals, and Police Officers: You will receive herewith an order of 'the War Deportment to prevent tho evasion of military duty, and for the suppression of d|sioyal practices, dated the Bth of August, 1862. This order, to be efficient, is-necessarily very comprehensive in its term%and pits proper execution requires the exercise of sound judgment and discretion in the officers to whom its enforcement is entrusted; and to guard you in its execution the following instructions are'to be ob- served : First. Tbo order comprises two classes of per sons, viz : those who are about leaving the United States to evade military duly, and - those who, for the same purpose, leave their own State. heaving the United States until the military ’ draft is perfected is positively prohibited, but it was hot the intention of the order to interfere with the transit from State to Slate of any persons but those who design to evade military duty. When ever you have reason to believe that the purpose is to avoid military duty, the order will authorize the detention of any porson leaving his own State, county, or military district. : Second. Any porson so detained may be released on giving bonds to the United States, with suffi • eient security, in the sum of §l,OOO, conditional for the performance of military duty, if he should be drafted, or the providing of a proper substitute. : Third. Immediate report Is to be made to this office of all persons so detained, with the oause of ‘their detention. Fourth. You will exercise the power of arreßt \and detention with caution and forbearance, so as to avoid giving annoyance or trouble to any persons, excepting those who are seeking to evade the per formance of their duty to their country. : Fifth, The Governors of the respective Slates are authorized‘to give passes and permits to their own citizens desiring to leave the State without- in - tent to evade military duty.

I think it ought to be known, however, that no uukiud feeling .was manifested by the Presilent ,or any one present. The conveisation wag earnest, iraqk, and sincere, but pleasant in the full tense of the word.

We shall have to elect a Governor and .Representative to Congress, and a Legislature that will elect a Sena tor in Congress. , The importance, therefore, of the ensuing eleotion cannot be overrated. It is the, anxious desire of every truly loyal man to see Dela ware under loyal executive influences, sued properly represented by truly loyal men in the Senate and Douse of Representatives of the United States. ■ Allow us to bear from yon, and to hone that you will accept our invitation, s■' Moat respectfully, sir, We are your obedient servants, \ C.

Gentlemen : I am in,receipt of your invitation to address a.meeting of the citizens of Sussex county, at Georgetown, on Tuesday, the 22d inst. regardless of former party, distinctions, who are op posed to the present wicked rebellion, waged, with out any just cause, by the misguided people of the seceded '.btates against the Constitution and the Union of tbe United States. Nothing but severe domestic affliction keeps me from you who are en gaged in so high and sacred a purpose. My heart wells up with kindred sentiments, and I rejoice upon reading your call, signed by so many of your : best citizens, at the promise it gives of a determi nation to stand by the President (who is the right man in the right place), in the maintenance of this, our Government, which secures to more men more blessings than any other Government of earth, the true value of which to the human family could not be properly appreciated untiT put in jeopardy, and its advantages circumscribed, as at present, by this demon-like rebellion. Let the people rise in their majesty and might; restore tbe Government to all its original integrity; punish the traitors as traitors should be punished; and re-establish, b the strong power of the army and navy, the Constitution and the Union ; and whatever of loss the wrong-doers may sustain, bo it: for them to reflect that they brought it upon themselveß, and that they are alone responsible for the consequences. The time has ar rived when there can be bot two parties—one for, the other against tbo Union; patriots or traitors all. Let an outraged and wronged people rise in their strength and power, and drive Secession: confede rates and sympathizers from the councils of the nation ; restore the Government in all its pristine' power, regardless of the negro question, and all other side issues; use every and all means to accom plish so desirable, a. result.. Then, > when the Go vernment rests upon a firm and, I hope, .eternal foundation, talk of side issues, and dispose of them seriatim, if you p'ease.

This has been another day of toil and tronblß among persons about to leave this city. - The' steamer Northern Light,; which was to have sailed..for California at 12 o’clock to-day, has been unavoidably detained, owing to a .want of neatness on the part of Provost Marshal Ken-, nedy—a trait very unusual with him, and therefore to be excused at this time, by; the gnat rush of business brought to bear on him before he has had an opportn-’ hity s of arranging the moAut operand! of his office. The United States Marshal, thismorning, informed all applicants for paßaar'to be allowed ,tq/go to California, that nothing of the kind w-onld be necessary. This in formation cottoned to be given at the marshal's office till on’e o’dec*. when he (the Marshall received intel ligence ti avßWlvennrdy had, at 10 o’clock in the fore -jiooi, rcceivea?a telegram from the War Department, be provided and the vessel was consequently clear* d oi nearly all the intending voyagerß by the inex orable police fousd. Parties who bad been to the mar shal’s office,''meantime, arrived as the steamer’s dock, but were informed that they must haveepssses before going on board. Hero was a seeming conflict of autho - ritiee, wbich might have been averted by. Mr. Kennedy's immfdiatciy communicating the substance of the tele grsm from flio War Department at 10 o’clock. There suit of this is the detention of the steuner, and great in-: convenience to, mahT Gf the passengers To fthe praise of the steamship company, belt said, they have refunded all passage mohoy of‘patnes who may he detained till - after the Bbittog of the steamer. Otherwise, families wsu'd have bcen.separated, or large amounts of money sacrificed. As it is tbe company becomes tho laser. The Government cannot win esteem by doing its business In this manner. . There mnst be method, and reasonable time given for all its demands upon the people who sub mit most cheerfully to its behests at this time.- <: The total number :of persons taken from the iprize steamer Memphis wss fifty-nine. Of, these, 52 were JSnglisbmen and S Germans Tbe remaining four were Americana (Charleston-pilots), their names being Smith,- Lea, Carlin, and Murray. These gentlemen, who were pasting as common sailors on beard the prize, were all sent to Fort Lafayette' this rooming. Carlin was for merly in the United States coast Burvey service, and was afterwards captain of the Confederate steamer uecilia. Tbe deaths in this city last week were 568, of which 398 wore children. This is 130 less : than in the cor.; r*. spondiugWeek of 1861, and an increase of 111 upon tbe number of last week. In addition to tbe,other business crowded upon the offices in charge at Police Headquarters, to-day, tho ar rest of a large number of officers and volunteers on their way to join their respective regiments, added to the multitude who were earplug for information and release/ Insteed of havii gbeen taken there, they ought to have been taleri to the re nest military, hear quarters. It is to befeand that the new Provost Marshal has got a large contract on band. ( The Bev. John C. Brigham, D. 8., for many years the senior corresponding secretary of tho American Bible Society, died yesterday morning. Few men Were more generally known than the deceased, and few, if any, more highly esteemed. He: had travelled much in the service of the Society, hoth in the United States and in foreign parts. Br. Brigham was bom in 1794, in New Marlborough, Berkshire county. Mass.; graduated at Wiliisms Col lege, in 1819, and at Andover, in 1822. He was elected Assistant Secretary of the American Bible Society for Bomestic Correspondence, in 18-0, and Secretary in May, ISiS/Conteqtnntly he has been an officer of the Society for upward oi thirty, six years, and during that long pe riod bad theajfection of all his associates. Previous to his connection wish the American Bible Society, Dr. Brig ham was the agent of the American Board of Oom mifsiorers for Foreign Missions, and resided In South America.,; Here he was the friend of the Bible. Be visited the republics of Buenos Ayres, Chili, Peru, Colmolria, and Mexico, in each of which be distributed Spanish Scriptures. It is a rt markable fact that the two chiei offiesra of the Ameri can Bibte Society hare died within a few months—the president, the Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen, and-the senior secretary, Dr. Brigham. Thedeceaseof Dr. Brig ham was caused by an attack of dysentery, severe, but of rhe-rt duration. Frcm an early hoar this morning the office of the Bri tish Consul has hern lift rally besieged by applications for certificates by those desiring to leave the country.
