THE WAR.
Tan rebels are making a poworfal attempt at
two points to invade the Northern . States—through
Kentucky and through Maryland. We maintain
that they have done much •to fulfil their promises
and threats that they would visit summary ven•
geanoe upon our large Northern cities ; but much
remains to be done before their designs can be
executed. They have concentrated a largo
army in Virgins, heedless of our paralyzed
sea (neat and river expeditions, crippling MoClel
lan on the Peninsula, and driving Popo back from
the Rapidan to the Potomac. In Kentucky they
have routed Nelson, and driven Gilbert and others
back to Frantfort, and they are stilt advancing
towards the .Ohio river, either upon Cin
cinnati or Louisville. Besides this, we have a
report, which seems to be substantially
correct, that Stonewall Jackson is moving up the
Valley of the Shenandoah with a large army, as
if .to attempt a crossing of the Potomac near that
point. Now, what have we done to repel these
would•bo invaders ? Really nothing in Kentucky.
There the future is surely big with events. In
Virginia, four Bei erste attempts have been made
to 'turn our right, move towards Leesburg, and
cross the river at Edward's' Ferry. On Mon
day last the rebels made the fourth attempt,
and succeeded finally, although their success
was owing more to a thunder-storm than any
sublime strategy or hard fighting exhibited by
them. In these movements the rebels have sus
tained a tremendous loss—double ours—which is
arge, being estimated at 11,000. Should the
enemy enter Maryland in force we shall
be finked at Washington, and hence the
necersityof concentrating troops at Baltimore and
the Relay House, while our grand armies are being
withdrawn to the north side of the Potomac.
While this is necessary, we should not fail to
harass the enemy by attacks upon his rear with
an effective army operating in Virginia, and especi
al' we should make bold endeavors to cat offtts
communication and supplies. There is no use of
talking any more about." drawing the enemy on, or
out." He is quite near enough, and smells badly
already. Let us repel " invasion," if people like
that name-; but, in doing so, let us send the enemy
back weakened greatly at each step. Now, at least,
we should cry, " On to Richmond !"
THE NEWS.
Tail foreign news whioh we present to-day is un
roportant. Garibaldi is somewhat quiet," while or
ganizing his army. When this is completed he
will be heard from again. We publish some Into
restiog extracts from our leading English exchanges,
giving the views of intelligent foreigners upon Ame
rican affairs, in lien of stirring news.
FROM New Orleans we have the order of Gena
ral Butler ordering the enro lment of the free
negroes of Louisiana for military service in de
fence of that city. They are to be Icnown as the
" Native Guards." General Butler has decided at
last to " use all means to crush."
Urox our first page will be found a complete
summary of the news and rumors published in the
leading papers of the country from the Army of
Virginia. Our special deapatohea contain the latest
and most reliable aceoucts of recent movements, as
usual.
FROM our Western exchanges we have prepared
full details of the movements of the rebels in Ken
tuoky, and the panics caused by these rapid
movements in the cities of Cincinnati and Louis
ville.
Tux capture of the noted rebel guerilla leader
Poindexter is announced from St. Joseph, Missouri.
By this capture a very wicked robber and mur
derer, but a man of some genius, is secured from
milking any further depredations.
AMONG the. killed in Monday's fight, near Pair-.
fax Court House; was Major Henry A. Prink, of
the 11th Pennsylvania Regiment. This was a three
months regiment, and, having recruited for the
three-years service, it was allowed to retain its old
number. Major Prink was, for a short time pre
vious to the war, a resident of Germantown. From
1858 to 1860 be resided at Williamsport, Lyoorning
county, acting in the capacity of principal assistant
engineer on the Sunbury and Erie Railroad for the
eastern division. He was a brave soldier, and an
ednoated, accomplished gentleman, and his untimely
fall will be mourned by every one who knew him.
He was about.. 32 years old. ,
The Duty and the Peril
We take ground with 'Mr. WINTHROP, a
Massachusetts statesman, who opposed Mr.
Lmootai's election, that at this time there
can be no difference of opinion; there must
be nothing but a universal confidence in the
Administration, in the Government which it
represents, in its agents and servants. "I
trust the President," says Mr. Wisreaop,
"I trust his Cabinet, I trust lifcCiamtkw,
I trust SIGRL, I trust Berms. I trust thom
all." We must have faith if we would be
saved. This is the injunction that comes
to us from every portion of the ciiiiittim
from every field of battle, from every loyal
and suffering heart. What is demanded by
the hour and its responsibilities is a calm,
courageous, and constant adherence to our
country. We have had enough of hesita
tion and doubt, too much of tardy acquies
cence and lingering enmity. We do not
know what a true union of heart and senti
ment means. We discuss present dangers
as abstract questions of cause and proba
bility. When the skies are bright we doubt
and cavil ; when clouds come over them we
weep, despair, and wring our hands.
Whatever may have been in the past—
andwith that we have nothing now to do—the
present is full of danger and terror. Wherever
we look we find the prospect one of gloom. It
may be temporary, but, nevertheless, it is upon
ns with appalling earnestness. It is hardly pro
bable that it can last long; but the conse
quences it brings may last forever. In Virginia
we see our army gradually falling back,until now
it may be almost said to be under the guile' of
Washington. In Kentucky a great, hungry
rebel army is within a day's march of the rich
and populous districts of Southern Ohio, and;
as cc Occasional" intimates in hie lett'er of to.
the guns of Kraal . Satan and Joan O.
BREOHINRIDOE may very soon he placed in
position on the banks of the Ohloriver. The
army of General GRANT is busilyemployed in
repressing guerilla raids in Tennessee, while
CURTIS is lying on the banks of the Mississippi
under our gunboats, after having retreated
through Arkansas before a large rebel force.
In the meantime, the rebel Congress is enact
ing defiant lawn, and declaring the legitimate
'duties of the Union soldiers to be acts of
felony. The rebel agents are again importuning
England and Prance for recognition, and lead
ing rebel generals demand the destruction of
Washington as a just act of vengeance.
This is the peril of the hour, and its, duty
is a plain one. We must rise to,renewed
exertions in behalf of the corintry; and, more
than all, we must repress and crush every
feeling that seems to indicate opposition to
the Government or an embarrassment of its
legitimate operations. Why should we assail
the President'? In what way does he fail to
do his duty f' Isle not honest and capable?
Has he not labored from the beginning to so
direct the etthlties of the North that the re
bellion may be crushed ? His feelings as a
man and a citizen, his ambition as a public
ruler, or, what is more, his natural desire
that men should honor him when he is gone—
all prompt him to • the just performance- of
his duties, and forbid any of 'the aspersions
that axe cast upon his motives and his
deeds. Why should we assail the gene
rats in :Malicia ? It may be said that they
lao4l2ere . aii4 eliewhere; that their victories
have not been as decisive as a jealous and'
anxious' country expected; that many of
them cling to •the memories and associations
of other days, and fight regretfully with their
former camp associates and companions-in
arms. Yet they risk their lives for us, and if
we calmly look over the record which these
past two years have written we shall find in
the valor of the American alicers, their de
votion to
.their soldiers and their flag , their
COUrage and intrepidity, much that is noble
and grand. Over these s men there is a power
to, which they aro responsible, and which
examines every action with a jealous eye. It
gives them their military being and takes it
away. It has exercised this duty candidly
and severely, and we should trust its judgment
in the future.
Let us be united In heart and soul. The
time may come when with shovel and axe we
shall be compelled to dig ditches around
Fairinount and Gray's Ferry, just as our
friends in Cincinnati are digging ditches to
day. God' forbid that this should come to
rasa, but while we utter the prayer lot us
remember that the danger is nearer Fairmount
and Gray's. Ferry than we•.liapiiose. Phila
delphia will never , be sate 'utitll..l . 4chniond is
taken. So long as we permit *rebel army
in Virginia we are not secure'. trim its raids.
We are now a Border State. - happily, we
have not fel tthe furrowing heel of war channel
ing our fields, but we do not know when the
crimson tido may come down from the moun
tains of upper Virginia and roll into Penn
sylvania'. To an army which is starving and
suffering for Want of apparel there is a strong
attraction in'such States as Pennsylvania and
Ohio. As yet, no rebel flag has ever floated
over free soil, nor has the foot of a rebel sol
dier pressed it, except as a prisoner.
,We
have kept the war whore it first originated,
and all its horrors have been felt by those
who brought them into being. This has been
a proud boast, and it would be both humilia
ting and shameful if the haughty Southern
foe was permitted thus to dishonor our free
homes. '
There is, no doubt," says the London
Times, cc something sublime in the spectacle
of a nation so fervently wedded to one idea
that everything else this world can give seems
trivial and insignihcant." Let us justify the
reluctant compliment of this unfriendly news
paper—and let our devotion to this one idea
be really so fervent that all things else become
not only trivial and insignificant, but are sacri
ficed. If we would avert the great sacrifices
that may be asked, let us be magnanimous and
self-denying. Let us demand that there be
but' one sentiment, one religion, -one creed,
one faith, one idea, and that embodied
•in our country. Let there be no con
cession to any fals4 ideas_ of sympathy for
those in arms against us. Let every pulpit be
silenced that does not make this duty as sa
cred as the duty of Christrian faith and
obedience. Let •us trammel every news
paper that would sacTifice the country to
politics or partisanship. Let every sympa
thizer be silenced and rebuked. Nay,
more : lot us even demand that the political
Conventions which have just adjourned sh .uld
meet again, and, by rejecting all unworthy
men and abandoning all unworthy principles,
give us a ticket which shall know no oppo- .
sition and bring no distracting issues into the
ballot-box. Let us do this faithfully,.firmly,
and conscientiously. Then will the peril of
the hour pass away and its duty be justly, per
formed.
The Enrollment
The enrollment for the draft develops some
curious and important facts, and if the draft
should never be made, we should never grum
ble at contributing our share of the expenses
incurred by the deputy marshals in making
the enrollment canvass, for it will be seen that
the table of returns, which we publish to-day,
shows precisely how many . men in the city
of Philadelphia loved their country well
enough to hazard their lives for its salvation
in volunteering in our armies. The returns
show that the city of Philadelphia has
sent to the war 19,223 of her sons to
battle for the Union; exclusive of near
ly 4,000 others who are serving in regi
ments from New York, New Jersey, Delaware,
and other States. How many more may be
serving their country in the regular army, in
the navy and marine corps, we cannot stop to
note now. • These are interesting facts—facts
that we may be proud of—but kow t happens it
that there is such a disparity. in the number of
persons enrolled in the different wards? In
the Fourth ward of this city, we find that 667
men have enlisted, and but 3,267 names have
been enrolled, whilst 'in the Nineteenth ward
1,184 men have enlisted, and 6,362 have been
enrolled.. A similar singular disparity is no
ticeablein the returns from other wards, but
we drop the subject with a reference to the
table in our local columns.
LETTER FROM "-OCCASIONAL."
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 1862.
The capture of Washington by the rebels
.would probably enable them to dictate terms
to the regular Government of the United
States. They knew the cost of the venture
when they made it, and they are risking all
upon it. They are also fighting for the shadow
of foreign recognition. These temptations
have stimulated them in all their late move.
ments, as well in this important department as
on the other military theatres. Although the
Federal capital is to-day more impregnable than
it has over been, its seizure by the traitors
would make it one vast ruin, and would con
vert every loyal, and every one who is a half
loyal man to-day in the free State into a fierce
and fanatical soldier. Yon, of Philadelphia
and New York, would then\begin to realize
the horrors which have so long been familiar
to the deluded people of the South. Your
idle - men about town would find new opportu
nity to consume their leisure. Your stores
and places of amusement would be closed, and
every interest and avocation would be ab
sorbed by and enlisted in the great warlike
duties of the hour. It is this spirit, coupled
with the desperation that springs from slavery,
and with the earnest longing for foreign aid,
that has enabled the rebels against the United
States to conduct so fearful a war upon its
authority. With them the war has been a
reality ; with us a pastime. They put their
substance into the fight at once ; we only
those who hive gone forward for occupation,
or voluntepred from patriotism: They have
put nearly their whole fortune_ upon a single
card; we risking a moiety of our opulence,
trusting to the comfortable theory that vic
tory must be ours, because they were eight
and we twenty millions. The hour of service
and of sacrifice is coming, to every man and
every woman in the loyal States of the United
States. I 'disdain the taunt that I may be
writing as an alarmist. I am not. Seventeen'
months ago, when, in these yen , letters, I
called upon the civil authorities of Pennsyl
-vania to put the State in a condition of mlll
tary preparation, I was so accused. And yet,
though my tone was changed in deference to
this opinion, even then the traitors were orga
nizing for the results over which they are now
rejoicing. Cincinnati was as comfortable and
complacent as Philadelphia three weeki ago,
and yet, to-day, she is vigilantly awaiting an
attack from the rebels. Her men of peace
are now men of war; her politicians, pa
triots; her candidates for 'office, in the
ranks of the army. Pennsylvania is, in
fact, nearer to the most formidable army of
the rebellion than Ohio, and with no such
,di :
viding line as the Ohio river. Covingeon;
posite Cincinnati, commanded by the batteries
of Kirby, Smith and John C. Breckinridge,
;might fall, but 'how long would Pranklink
York, or Adams counties be able to bold out
against • the .advancing hordes of Stonewall ,
Jackson, with no intervening river to protect
them
The people of the free States must be accus
tomed to war. The men who have discussed
.among themselves the
.possibility of avoiding
a draft moat volunteer. Our gentlemen must
abandon the practice of invoking the workmen
to go into the, army. Among the very first to
encounter the. hazards of the battle in the
Sputh were the politicians; and if you road
over the lists of killed and wonnded,.you will
find that those who advised Secession and
advocated Disunion, fought and bled and died
for both. It is very' true, that in the slave
States the desperation of the Secession cause
forced the party loaders tolake the lead; but
we of the free States must borrow something
from this example, in order to. secure the vic
tory we deserve. The peril of Washington—
even the loss of Washington—may be the greatest
blessing of the 4merican people, and the salva
:ton of the .Reptsblie. It cannot give, for we
have them now, courageous columns and a self
sacrificing people; but it may create great
military genius, and contribute to the dovern
ment chieftains who will fight for the Govern
ment, because *they believe in it and would
die for it. Ooossroxen.

glpeciel Despatch to The Press.]
WASHINGTON, :Sept. 3, 1862.
I have just had a conversation with Adjutant
QUidno, of the 49th Georgia, Volunteers, who is a
native of Poland, and an intelligent man, and was
rather more oommunioative than most of the pri
soners recently oaptured in Virginia.
He was taken, with nineteen others of his regi
ment, listtight, within a mile of Fairfax Court
House, while stationing pickets during a violent
storm of wind and rain, and, through the darkness,
accidentally wandered into our lines, where they
were suddenly surrounded and captured by our
troops. ' •
A Shoeless Set.
.But two out of the nineteen rebels taken
,bad
ilium upon their feet, seventeen of them having
marched for three days with their feet tied up in
rags ! and so slashed by pieces of rook and stub
ble that these very rags were °lotted together with
blood.
Rebels Subsist upon Green Corn
Quidno assured me that the rebel army had sub.
sisted itself in its recent marches almost entirely
upon green corn, what they call a roasting ears "
in the -South, and in consequence of their self
denial, in enduring every hardship and privation,
they feel the more confident, of success. •
Jackson in the Valley.
He says,neithor Jackson nor:Ewell was in the re
cent battles, but Johnson, Lee, and Longetreet,
eommanded in the different engagements, and this,
he says, we might have known from the faot that
communications kayo been sent to General Pope
several times by General Lee.
Only about one-half of the entire army was
around Washington, he says, as far as his means of
knowing goes, but reinforcements were continually
arriving from the• South. The rebels are heartily
sick of the war, but say they are determined to
aohieve their " independence."
• Coming Home.
General Pope's immense army trains arrived in
Alexandria today, and it is evident that he is
falling back with his entire army: It, is said that
great movements are now being executed in vari.
ova directions, of which it maynot be proper for me
to speak.
Startling Rdmors.•
It is said that no troops arrived in Washington
to-day from the North, and, as a natural conse
quence, rumor is at work, and with one of, her
thousand tongues proclaims that General Wool left
Baltimore, at daylight this morning, with 30,000
men, en route for Harper's Ferry. It is also said,
in confirmation of this, that Stonewall Jackson is
undoubtedly marobing upon that point with a large
army.
The Twin Cities
Alexandria and Washington are nothing more nor
less than vast hospitals; every vacant °birch, pub
lio or private residenoe has been seized and
filled with sick and wounded soldiers, and the
streets of tho former place are said to be filled with
straggling soldiers and skulkers.from our armies.
The Gunboats.
The Potomac river is Ailed with gunboats. There
are several lying between this city andAlepm
aria.
Army Train Captured
Wasnigovos, September 3.—About four o'clock this
morning a train of one hundred wagons, with commis-
Sat y stores, was Intercepted by the enemy between Fair
fax and Centreville, and driven off towards Manassas
before the party could be overtaken. They secured the
entire train.
•
Bo soon as this raid in the rear of our army at Centre
ville was known, the necessity of guarding that direction
became apparent, and at noon the whole army of Tir.
ginla had abandoned Centreville, and was massed this
aids of Bairfax . Court House. This evening they again
took up the line of march, and the advance is in sight of
hinnaon's Hill. The enemy's cavalry followed them in
the distance, but made no attack, and the entire 1101r0
went was being accomplished In excellent order.
At noon, , to. day, Gen. 2foCiellan rode out to meet the
returning column, and was reetaved with demonstrations
of gratification and pleasure.
The works for the defence of Washington are all in
excellent condition, and are strongly manned by ex
perienced artillerists.
The gunboats now lining the Potomac are doubtless de
signed to prevent any attempt to interrupt the naviga
tion of that river.
Arrival of Paroled Prisoners—Gen. Lee's
Headquarters near Bull Run.
Bleven hundred paroled prisoners, sorts of whom
were taken by the enemy as far back as Thursday, at
Manassas, arrived here late this evening, at Aqueduct
bridge, Georgetown.
They report that General Lae has established his
hese quarters three mites beyond Bull Ban, on the War

The only force at Fairfax. Court House was Btuart'a
Cavalry, General STUART being there in person.
The rebels assisted these men in the burial of our
dead, most of whom had been stripped of their clothing,
with the exception of their shirts.
Our men say that the enemy at the time were iwo hungry
that they rushed fur the haversacks of our killed and
wounded. Our men saw columns of the enemy marching
to the rear on the Warrenton turnpike toward Thorough
fare Gap.
The Situation Before Washington.
WAEMINOTON, Beptember 3 —The National Rspubk•
cm, of this morning, hoe the following article in its edi
torial column:
a It was obvious, after the failure of our army at Cen
treville, to renew the fighting on Monday, that a retreat
upon Washington would follow, and that seem. to be
going on without serious loss, and in good order.
Opinions, of course, Sr. divided uto the expediency of
the course resolved upon.
During Sunday, large reinforcement' bad reached
Guard Pops at Centreville. The alternative was to at
tack the enemy then and there, or retreat. That the
enemy would not attack ns in such an advantageous po
sition as Centreville, was plain. He would turn that ca
rillon by an advance in the direction of Chain Bridge,
compelling General Pope to fall back, as he wee compel
led to fall back from the line of the Bappahannook, his
right being turned by the movement through Thorough
fare Gap.
We believe that General Pope, at ClentrenUe, on
Monday, as reinforced, wee numerically etionuer than
the enemy, but some prudential reasons favored the
polity of not fighting there, but of falling beet, looking
met elf to the single interest of the defence of Washing
ton. General Pope will finally ravioli a point where he
cannot be flanked, and the further we draw the enemy
thin way the mere difficult he will find it 60 supply
himself
.One °bleak:4k to the retreating policy is its tendency
to excite rebel hopes and outbreaks elsewhere, as to Hen
tueky.rrdissonri, 62e. • • •
" No well. informed person here entertain' the slightest
fear for the safety of the capital, or the slightest doubt
that this Irebel attempt, prompted as it is by desperation
and by t he hope of anticipating the arrival of our new
levier, trill be a failure."

The Gallant 115th Pennsylvania Regiment.
On Tuesday, a portion of Colonel ROBERT PATTna•
BON'S 116th Pennsylvania arrived at Alexandria. On
the preceding Wednesday they mot two whole brigades
of the rebels, in the vicinity of Bristow. The 115th at
once made a brilliant , bayonet charge at them, and
drove them ba:tk. The rebels being reinforced, the
rcmainder of the brigade came up and pitched in in
the most dashing manner. It was a severely contested
light, but the rebels were compelled to leave. Daring
the charge, some dozen rebels got in the rear of theiline,
and niado an attack on Lieutenant O'Atexamy with,the
butte of their muskets. He defended himself gallantly,
and cut the bead of one rebel titan off with his sword:
The gallant Lieutenant was severely bruised In the en.
counter, and is now an invalid. Lieutenant Loonwoon
Trioursort, of this regiment, received 'a severe shot in
the neck. Captain Dome, of Company D, was killed in
the action. This is another instance of an Irish regi
ment distinguishing itself. With les.% than full strength
to drive back two rebel brigades is one of the most
brilliant feats of the campaign.
Boston Beneficence.
Eight freight• car loads of hospital stores and sup.
plies, which were contributed by the citizens of Bos
ton on Sunday. afternoon, arrived here this morn
ing, accompanied by . Mayor WU:M . I'MAX', several
members of the City. Councils, and a force of
eighteen policemen. These immense contributions
were forwarded in charge of Adams Express' Company,
and delivered at tho capital here free of charge ter
freight. Theraliroads forming the route 'la Worcester.
and Springfield to New York, the Camden and Amboy
Railroad, the Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad, and
the Baltimore and Waeltington Railroad Companiii,
transported the seventy tone of freight without charge
as their contribution toward• the noble object of com
forting our wounded soldiers. The shore route from
Boston to New York alio brought two care in the BOMa
liberal manner.
The Boston police force have made themselves very
useful in carrying the wounded from the boats and oars
to the ambulances. Their strong arms have boon a

[From the Washington Star of last evening.] ,
This forenoon, we hear, has been occupied by otir
troops, for the most part. In getting into position in front
of this city. The pointe occupied by them are generally
those ocoupled by the Army of the Potomac previous to
its departure for the PeMinnie
There has been no engagement whatever this forenoon.
The rebels in the immediate front are doubtlese massed
most - heavily about Vienna, twelve miles from here; yet
not in such numbers there as to change our opinion that
they aim to cross the river above, into Maryland.
By nine o'clock laid evening the whole of the army of
General Pope bed reached the position it had been de
termined it should aseume for the present before the
staunch fortifications on the eouth aide of the Potomac',
in our front. In their march of the day from theimme
elate vicinity of Fairfax Court House, the enemy or
course did their best to harass our rear with an occa
sional round of shell, which, however, did no damage.
Everything was brought hither in good order and con
dition, the army being in a far better cendition to re
new the contest of last week at a moment's warning,
than we entiolpsted.
. Ere they reached this immediate vicinity, we hear,
Meier .oenerat McClellan had, in accordance with the
general order of r etterday, issued an order assuming the
chief command of the aggregate array (Pope's and Burn!
side's. thus assembled for the defence of the capital.
This morning it mem to be certain that the mass of
the enemy that followed our army from the Rappahan
nock to this vicinity are directing their march somewhat
up the river, being already in some force about Lees
burg, and in larger force between there and the Chain
Bridge, as though about to make a demonstration at the
ferry opposite Pooleaville, Md.
• That and all other fords that might possibly be threat
cued are of course being duly guarded by forces which
Generals Halleck and McClellan dcubtlese regard u suf

dies of troops having in the last few days passed up the
river on this aide, evidently to that end.

We may add that there already is a strong

Our belief is that the rebel generals will essay to erns

trine be enabled to move on Baltimore rather than the
Federal metropolis, which they probably think too well

abundantly guarded againet by the authorities.
If It bad been designed to make an attack upon the.

The army is now' coinfertablr-eneceneed- within the

and bresetworks surrounding the capital. The policy
now seems to be to let the exhausted troops take rest;
d also drill the new levies till they beoome sofficiently

now made towards . Leesburg, a portion of the army be
fore this city may be called upcin to aid those troops now

The rebels rampant on our borders, and Cincinnati
threatened, after all this fearful loss of life during the

emancipation may be leaned, with the idea that in two
months all the negroes in the Bouthorn States will hear

duly given in the papere by better informed men than
myself. I only know that he first distinguished him
self in tho Mexican war, where he lost his left arm
above ;the elbow. Subsequently he took part in the
Italian war against Austria, under Victor Emmanuel,
acting as aid to the king, and on the breaking out of the
present rebellion In this country, had proved himself one
of the moat dashing and able division commanders in our
iervice. At the outset he was a thorough pro-slavery
man, excluded the entrance of contrabands within his
lines, and coarsely excluded the Hutchinson singers from
his camp, because they amused his soldiers with anti
slavery songs. Before his death, the progress of the war
had induced him to deeire a proclamation of universal
emancipation, and the employment' or, negroei in every
department of the army where fighting was not required.
Hie views wore recently ventilated with great ability In a

In a stroll through the Armory Hospital, I have ob
tained a few items from wounded Pennsylvania privates,
relative to their regiments, which I here give, in a de.
sultory way, as . being, perhaps, of Interest to _those
having friends in those regiments. The killed and wound
ed spoken of are by no means the whole, but simply what
my informants recollected :

.Naughten, and Lieutenant Mumford were wounded.
Wheeler, notwithstanding his pain, retreated with other
wounded men into a.ravine, who were there fired upon
by the advancing rebels, till they cried out that they
were wounded, and Belted them to desist. The rebels
•then pasted on. Wheeler bad heard that there were bat
tight men left in his company out of seventy-eight that
went into action, the rest being killed, wounded, or
taken prisoners ' .
Of the 57th Pennsylvania, private Jacob Layton lay
sick and almost unconscious with fever. - The regiment

it now fiat belonged to the three-months service, as the

My informant corroborates the general remark of the
Retserves, that they had no confidence in McDowell and
no heart to fight under him, and hence their retreat on
Saturday.. The Reserves fought on Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday, but chiefly on= Friday, when they behaved
gallantly and sustained a heavy lose.
