TILE WAR.
How Many men has Ponesylvania given to the
Union ? The New York Post., of 'last evening,
-says : Qui'a recently, but before any of the new
regiments had marched, a full statement' , of the
number of Men' previously furnished by each of
the States, and received by the Government, was
shown to Quartermaster eneral Arthur, of this
State, in the office of the Adjutant General at
'Washington, The statement, we way add, was
drawn up by Assistant Adjutant General Bucking
ham, The whole number of non sent into the Peld
from Pennsylvania was eighty thousand, two hun
dred; the number flow New York was one hundred
and six thousand." These figures may be correct;
we will not dispute them ; but it:strikes its that
they are anything , but an over-estimate; as far as
our State. concerned. Instead of Pennsylvania
empty having, due huedred and fifteen eggineints in
the field, as has been intimated, she has one hundred
and fifty-two—the last being under command of
Col, Segeberth. That they aro filled to the maxi
Mum, we • do not assert; but by the-above reckon
ing they could net be, on au average, mu . ch•more
than half full. Why will New York persist in this
invidious way of exaggerating her own importance?
It doee niit'wnke her any higher than wo are, nor
any lower ; cud the futility of this scheme of do
,
predation is.ludierously exposed by bare facts;
rom thn'Al my of the Potouiac, as our
dated forces of the East may now fairly be called,
there i'neirs of no stirring, yet of most significant,
interest. The rebels are certainly leaving the im
mediate front of our Washington lines, probably to
concentrate at Leesburg. Every report -males
this movement tile merely —ll.ltcly t--not- only
our regular and special telegrams, bat the
observatione of private parties fresh from the
the neighborhood of • the rebel lines. Our insidious
foe hits been seen quickly moving in a northwest
direction his own and his captured stores;, and to
be even with this military threat, our own troops
have been largely disposed along the upper Poto
mac. it is Pennsylvania's hopes that aro staked
on .our success in repelling the rebels' crossing.
SuPpose the foe fairly upon Maryland soil, his
course would not be, as is commonly imagined,
towards Baltimore and Washington, and so into
the very teeth of the grand army collected to op
pose him. Ile has, heretofore, been none too
eager to play his chances into our hands after
such style ; and now, when eierything is
staked upon this last throw, he will be more (fare
fill than ever. Ills route would more probably be
across the narrow strip of Maryland and into the
fertile fields and rich towns of our own State. Oar
hundred and lICty•tWO regiments may.yei have to
be doubled in pure seltdefence.
• The pause in active affairs on the Potomac gives
us enough breathing time to look at the condition of
things at the West, The invasion of Cincinnati is
Calling out the resources of Ohio and her neighbor
ing States on a mageiticent scale. The entire at
tention of the Queen City is concentrated upon the
bloody business in hand "; the most ample prepara
tions are made and the most stringent measures are
adopted to insure her safety, and the intense • ap
prehenaion that was at first created by General
Wallace's proclamation is partially allayed. At
this point,. as well as at their Eastern aim, the
rebels will be fulled. -
inn NEWS,
;;Important rumors from the West" crowd thick
and fast upon us. There is a report from Ten
lieeBoo that the rebels under F.tice have invested
Bolivar, and General Viilepigne is said to have
crossed the liatchie river at Brownsville on the
night of the first, anti is probably making toward
Bolivar. The Grenada (Miss.) Appeal of Septem
ber 2, has an improbable rumor that the forte below
Newbrleans have surrendered to a fleet of Con
federate gunboats. A despatch to the Appeal of
August 29th, dated Bayou Sara 25th, says the
Federal steamer Essex arrived' Saturday and.
shelled the town, without doing any damage.
They then landed two boatloads of soldiers and
set lire to the town. All the houses on the levee
were 'burned, except two.
Tux report of Thursday that a rebel iron-clad
at Cardenas had captured four of oar vessels is in
a measure confirmed by a statement of Captain
Cooper, of the schooner Etna, which arrived at New

the rebel'steamer at Matanzas when they sailed is
explained by the fact that they were requested by,
the 'United States consul at Havana to withhold
the news until despatches had been forwarded to
Washington.
Da. EDSON B. Onus, of Lancaster, Ohio, is now
in close eta finoment, in Fort Lafayette—the ordi
nary indulgences of prisoners not being given him,
it is reported. The Doctor, though a Doctor, had
got into the bad habit, in these times, of making
Secession speeches.
Ann prisoners of war .taken by the United States
forces and paroled, and now within the military
department of Tr'ashington, are required to report
immediately at Gen. Wadsworth's headquarters.
This is supposed to be with a view to their ex-
Change.
GEL SIGEL has arrived in Washington, and was
very warmly greeted. Se denies having lost any
guns. Gen. Carl Schurz is also there, m company
'with Sigel. A public serenade is talked of. M.jor
General Banks is also there.
COL. J. W. BISSELL,' who out the, steansboa
Channel around Island Ten, is evidently a man of
expedients. In a private letter from an °Meer in
the Southwestern army, it is related that not long
since a body of Federal soldiers, under Col. Blase 1,

murderous vocation. It was determined to hang
the villain on the spot, but, unluckily, no rope suit
able for the purpose was on hand. But Col. Bissell,
however, was not loneat a loss A piece .of tale

strung up with that. It is said to have answered a
Very good purpose _
Tun borers for nil in the Venango region of
Pennsylvania frequently strike veins of salt water.
About three weeks since, Messrs Phillips, _Brew, &
Co., of Oil 'City, when boring near their wharf,
struck a well which flowed some five barrels daily,
and has si - - iroreased to fifteen barrels of salt
water, so strong, it is said, as to crystalize as it Rows
from the vat, This is auspicious of the day when
the salines of Venango will rival those of Onondaga

We axe Compelling a Change of English
Sentiment.
As the last advices from England come in
more fully, their new import appears even
more
,signiflettnt than at first. Our old foe—
tile 'London Times—which has,sought, with
such invidious and persistent acrimony, to
*damage the Federal cause, is evidently changing
its tone. In the midst of its former fulmina
tions of threat it has sometimes tried to sleek
us down with sudden bursts of friendship; the
great organ of English snobdom and thorough
ly pledged to the advocacy of Southern inter
ests, it spared no means to urge its suborned
cause at least into the conciliated sentiment of
the public, if not into the active , counsels of
the nation, 13ut the present tone - of the
Times is not a hypocritical pretence of Mend
el:4. There is no air of studied fawning
about it. It is wrung from it most unwilling.
ly. • It appears in juxtaposition with the old
sneers; it glints out from a mass of mis.
statements, exaggeration, and contempt.
• An analysis of the Times' leader of August
19th will show at once the Strength and the
seediness of that paper's criticisms upon us.
The article, throughout, is characterized by an
elegance and sulxlued forcefulness of style that
evince the easy culture of a general education,
and.the versatility of long practice in wielding
.the pen. It opens with a declaration that if
the American people would stop to consider the
;Causes which have led to their greatness, they
iveuld at once be ccirresistibiy led to a policy
of peace and mutual conciliation." It that
.attributes this tf spectacle of so much virtue
:and so much happiness" (a concession of
ouch, extraordinary generosity on the Part of
`ihe Tfmes, that we might think it genially

triumph, it its style were not as steady---what
could be more so as when the Thunderer is
gruffly hiccupping its growls aver some Parlia

sefited by America to emigrants !" From this ,
preface, and from one or two other exprei

be his intention to prove that c' the attractions

speech, and peaceful security r =are now being

threatening to dissolve our political fahrie by
leaving! We cannot now dWell upon the inge
nious palliation that is here made for the
sneaking away of a few foreign coward's, who
wore content enough to enjoy the protection
of our Government, but trembled to the core
of their paltry souls at the thought of defend-
ing it. What we want to call alb:lntim' to
is the fact that when this editor of the Tinies
begins to recount the measures of absolutism
that have been' taken bp the American
.
Government and sanctioned by the American
people, his Blind is so filled tiiitb thu.suplimity
of the'Spectaele' of the mightiest people •_.Ol l ,
earth patiently submitting to a temporary` fet-
Versal of tht4r institutions, and even_eagerly
inviting steps that seem to annul the princl- -
plcs on which their political existence is
founded—that ho invollintarily makes the bulk
o f bla article it tribute to the unexampled
grandeur of the sight. The ciemigrants" are
quite left out in the cold, and only in defer

Lnee to tile preface are mentioned at the close.
The following excerpted words fairly repre
sent all:
10 And now, as if there was not enough already
to remind us of the Old World, the cousoripticin,"
which English readers know only by the experi
enoo of foreign countries, is" put in full force.
America trusts no longer the voluntary energies of
her citizens, and impresses them for a. service
which money to any amount to which it may be of
fered cannot bribe them to undet take. Not only
freedom from imprisonment, but 'the right of
every man to seek his own happiness in the way
he thinks hest,' so confidently stated in the- Deola
ration of Independence, is thus destroyed by a sin
gle word of a tingle man, who assumes to himself
the tremendous power of .dragging from the Ordi
nary pursuits of life 600,000 of his follow-citizens
that they may pass through the lire to the Moloch
of civil strife. No- Oriental despot ever 'ventured
on so tremendous a stroke of power, and no people
of European origin, except the democracy of Azno
rice, ever submitted to it."
Is there .not DOW hope ? Whom the. Times,
the little-sonled ) snarlin g, venal Times—a
journal whose editorial advocacy is bought by
the South, and whose ablest 'correspondents
are noted Secessionists—can thus burst.out in
involuntary admiration, 18 there not hope that
the tone of the English people and the English
papers, will wholly change, aud, by disoarding

The nominationya few daYs- ago, of SYDEN
11A3T E. ANCONA, by the Breckinridgers of
Berks county, for, re-election to the National
House of Representatives, was not unexpected.
ANCONA. detserred this compliment. He has
been the steadiest opponent of the war, with
the exception of Mr. •VALLANOIOII.4II, in the .
present 'Congress and we learn' that, in his
speech accepting the nomination, he stated
that he did not ask any Mau to vote for him
who did not approve his course. We like
candor in an opponent, and, if, Mr—ANCONA. is.
returned, he will, of course, repeat tite acts
of which he is now so proud. The loyal men
of'Berks, however, have determined to vote
against Mr. ANCONA and will try toprevont the
election of a man who would probably, he'a
Much more faithful agent of the sympathizers
with treason, if, instead of ranning fora seat
in the Congress of the United States,..he were
a, candidate tfor the Congress of the Cenfede
racy. We understand that Major JOEL 13.
WANNER, chosen by the Democrats' a fear,
ago as' Mayor of. Reading, and at the time
known to be a friend of the BroCkinridge wing
of the party, has been put forward by the
Douglas Democracy of Barks as • their candi
date against Mr.AffceNs, and that he promptly
accepts the nomination. When Major -IVAiv
xan realized that his old political- associates
were in heart against the Union, he indig
nantly severed all connection with them, and
on the occasion of the last call for volunteers,
entered the' service, and is now serving as a
major in the army gathered for the defence of
Washington city.. The Republicans have.re
solved to place no candidate in the field, and
will support Major. WANNER. The loyal men
of old Berks are in good heart and hope.
They believe they can ilefeat the sympathizer
by electing , the patriot. It is gratifying to
observe that in nearly all the interior counties
of Pennsylvania, unconditional Union Demo 7
crats for important offices have been nomi
nated by the political friends of the present
Administration. The spirit which is thus
created is certain to result in a great victory
in October next.
True I)emeieraey
We have no time in this busy and exciting
cra to notice party conventions and party can

welcome in the exhibition of political action
which exhibits this feeling, we print id an
other column the speech delivered by the
Hon. B. CriAmmturs, in Lancaster, on
Tuesday last, in accepting . the nomination
to the Legislature. Judge CHAMPNEYS
Is a Democrat, and has occupied many im
portant positions in our Commonwealth.
Many years ago •he was elected to both
branches of our State Legislature. Its was
the confidential friend and the Attorney Gene
ral of the late Governor, SILUNIC. ; sharing the
confidence of that magistrate and of the peo
ple during Governor Suesn's great Demo
cratic Administration. Judge Cumararys
has always been an eminent membar in
the great Lancaster bower, and was
the friend of JAMES BUCHANAN until Mr.
Dtienis.ais betrayed his friends and his
country, until 1867 being a close and
earnest friend of that statesman. This
distinguished gentleman has been a Douglas
Democrat, and in 1860 voted the straight
electoral ticket. He is now a warm and con
tiding supporter of the Administration of Mr.
LINCOLN. He is not one of those Democrats
wlig find no foe but what they call Black
Republicanism and Abolitionism. Re believes
that the country is in danger, that iti'eneraies
are Secession and slavery, and that every
citizen should give his energies to their de
atinction. The fine sentiments of Judge
CHAMPNEYS' speech will be universally ap
plauded.
LETTER FROM OCCASIONAL."
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6, 1862.
In these times, frankness is the best policy.
Tlit re is no use of concealing from the public
that which we constantly communicate with
each other. It is possible to be an alarmist,
and it is likewise possible to be disingenuous
and unfair. The frank man will be neither the
one nor the other. I might say that Washing
ton is in danger, and the remark might be so.
Infant derstood as to 'create a general panic
among all who do me the honor to read
these letters. I might say that Wash
ington is not in danger, and, in doing
misrepresent the events that are seen
sround us, the opinions that are everywhere
expressed, and the contingeneieS that are
crowding upon us with the force and truth of
1 history. It will be difficalt to find here, in
Yiraellington, iNVO men of niteltar 'op:nions,
They differ as to the extent of our datigdrithe
Perils of our situation, the possible movements
of the Confederates, and the probable means
of defence now being 'undertaken by Major
Gen. McClellan; but every one agrees that we
are passing through a period which demands
caution, courage, calmness, and Candor. Every
one admits • that this August month has wit
nessed what has been the peril, and what
might have been the downfall of the capital.
We know that the enemy are still In frontof us ;
we hear their guns at Alexandria and Bladens
burg ; the sound of artillery is is familiar to us
as the ticking of the time-piece. I see that in
Pennsylvania you appreciate this danger, and
that your excellent Governor is calling upon
the people to use -every energy to meet and
overcome it, and I am glad to'see the alacrity
with which your patriotic people respond to
his appeal, .
' I endeavored to describe in my letter of yes
terday the exact position of the Confederate
army, as it is known, and their probable mqve
ments in the future. , It is generally conceded
that they desire to invade, garyland. They
have not done so as yet. The intervening
days have teen well spent; defences have
been'erected ; the necessary ,preparations;
have been consummated, and it is nuts`
the general opinion among men competent 1
to judge, , that the attempt to invade has
been virtually abandoned, or, -if it is carried I
into effect, must meet - with an, inglorious dis
comfiture. The danger of Pennsylvania,
however, is generallY discussed, and I'am told
by citizens of your State, that in 'the lower
range'of 'counties every preparation is being
made to anticipate a probable raid on the "parti
or Jackson, or, at all events, to make any vie- I
tory be may obtain barren and unprofitable. . If
Jackson attempts to enter Pennsylvania, it will
probably be by crossing the Potomac at Wil
liamsport, taking possesaina - Of HageiStown,
cutting the 13altimorc and 'Ohio Railroad, and
advancing in force upon Chambeisburg. The
effect of this would be to cone.tutrate in krank - -
lin or Adams county every available abte-bo
died man in the Middle States, and to, make the
beautiful valley of the Curnberlambas memo
rable in history as the romantic valley of thp
Shenandoah. Jackson might not take Chant
btrsburg. He certainly could not hold it;
but he could, if successful, transfer the sort
of war -from treacherous yir g iivia to loyal
Pennsylvania. Hagerstown, would be, a, !rung
'military position, and, in the hands of an
enemy, might seriously embarrass Washington,
Baltimore, and .Philadelphia. The railrdid
from 'Baltimore to York, the Baltimore and
Ohio road, and even our own Baltimore, Wil-
Mington, and Philadelphia road, would become
valueless as means of communication. It
would he the nucleus for the Secession senti
ment of Maryland to rally around, and would
bavo the effect of prolonging the wear- far beyond'
its natural limits.
It is, as I have said before, a matter for
corgratulation to every patriot that the free
soil of the North has thus far been spared the
terrors of an invading army; but we shauld
not allow the immunity which we have
Enjoyed in this respect to prevent us from
fully appreciating the danger that may be in
store for ns, and taking every means to meet it.
When I see the apathy. that is sometimes ma
nifested in the North, I am often tempted to
wish that the guns of the rebel army might be
heard in the North, for I am sure it would•
occasion such an awakening of the Northern
heat t, such a manifestation of Northern prow
ess, and -such an exhibition of Northern
strength, that the rebellion would be ept
before our resistless power into the , hell
from whence it came. If our people would
only think of this, and, remember that
during the greater part of the rebellion
its armies have never 'been more than three
days , march from the capital of your State,
they would concentrate every energy,gi ve every
dollar, and sharpen every pruning hook f'or'
the mighty struggle that is to come. lam in
hopes that the Northern people are beginning
to entertain this feeling now, and I welcome
it as a good sign in these sad times.
Major General McClellan is making every
preparation for a speedy resumption of hostili
ties. He bas issued orders to the troops fo
prepare themselves for an instant advaucb
upon the enemy, and, if we may judge lty
the signs and preparation around us, Cie
few weeks to come will be as fruitful of
as great, and I trust, more *happy events than.
those just passed. We have a great army
anarmy of veterans--disciplined, experienced,,
and eager to avenge the 'recent discomfiture
to their arms. We have another great army
in reserve, now coming from the North, and
although not yet acquainted with the duties of ,
the camp and the field, as brave and as earnest
as their brothers who have fought on the
Chickahominy, the Rapidan, and the Rappa.
hannock. At all events, whatever the policy
may be, rest assured that there will be no
delay, no tardiness,' no unnecessary wait
ing, no trifling with our enemy, or with
the spirit of the people. Whatever Mc
Clellan may have done, even admitting
that all the criticisms made upon hint are
just, he is again at the head of our. armies.:
He has been placed there by the Adminis
tration and the chosen . general of the Ad
ministration. He possesses the confidence of
the s,eldie,rs. He is anxious to do his duty
and retrieve his fame. Let us be silent and
confiding. Let us hope and pray that he may
redeem the past by making the future a
bright and glorious psge in the -history of a
regenerated and victorious Republic.

BANANA, Angina 29 —Oa the morning of the 20th inst.,
I received a Cilegram from Cardenas, stying that the
night before a Confederate vessel of war had anchored in
the entrance to the harbor, English built, of iron, and
tunneling eight gnus. She came from Nassau. and re
ports that she has a crew of lto men, that her ursine is
the Florida, and that she is commauded by Capt, ?tieing.
This vessel is none other than the Fieto; lately released
by the Admiralty Conn at Batmen as an illegal prize. I
had news of her before, and was exeectleg her arrival.
A letter fr; Meagan told me ihatehe had seventy men,
and that bbo hoped to comp.ete her crew fu 0 lbs. Also,
that Captain &ounce, who was to have command of her,
had sailed for Europe, and that Captain Medic, who
formerly ct . remanded the Crusader,. Will 4 to co - amend her
Instead. The fitst officer of the Florida formerly held
them:as position on board the Sumpter. The Fl ;ride is
lined with iron, and la calculated to resist any ordinary
shot. The news of her arrival was immediately sent
from Cardenas, Matanzas, and Havana to our squadron
at Key West, and there ate now three Federal ref./leis of
war waiting for her to make her exit from Cardenas.
The Captain General was much-a moyed at her appear
ance at Cardenas, and ordered her to leave at ones far sea,
but Captain Maffit urged that he was distress, and
continued to remain there. Tao of the Florida' s officers
carer. to Hayman the dap before yesterday. Thera were
only MO 'tors of coal in Cardenas, yet the Florida has
been able to get some, though I am told the captain had
to pay $22 50 a ton for it to the gas company, and the
latter will replace it from this city at $O. The Florida
claims to have destroyed several America merchantmen
on her way to Cardenas I doubt this.
The Captain General has ordered the naval officers at
Cardenas to make a thorough search of the Florida, and
if he finds any prisoners on board. of her, to liberate
them. The Captain General seems as if ho intended to
act in a more honorable manner than he has done before
in like cases, and promises lo do all that our Government
can expect. The Confederate steamers Alice, alias the
Matagorda, Blanche, alias General Rusk, and the Cali
fornia, have itorntlysailed for parts unknown.

and promptly obeyed, and not one word of dtetrast or
apprehension, waled the lipe of any nee among those
1;300 men, too vast majority of whom knew nothing of
the sea. All hands, ender the captain's direction, worked'
steadily poll! 034 p. M., wbeo it became evident that the
blifp could not be got off as she was. No resource
was left but to lighten ter, if possible, of pawn
gere and frejeht. Only a tail or two could falsely be
teen doting the afternoon; but shortly after signals
of distress •were made, or about 7 P. AI , n aceoener
ran alongeide ' and the stet° of affairs being communi
cated, agreetito take off some of the tropes. The work
'of debarkation Mexico began, and a tedious job it proved
to be. Ai the first instant, when the extremely perilous
cbtdilion of the vessel was made known to all, and the
order to go en board the schooner was given, a alight
crowding and confusion arose among the dense throngs
on deck, but Lieut. Colonel Swift. of the 25th, wno hal
been a seafaring man, and was consequently at home in
the crisis, by hie coolneee and 'determination, instantly
calmed it istationine blenstlf at the ship's side, ho su
perintended the tier:ger of the first bitch of troops who
were taken off, and greatly contributed to their safe
tranefer. About 100 of the 13th, and 800 of the 25th
were got on board the schooner by
,flee P. M.. the wind
meanwhile rising to half a gale, and blowing directly
landward. After the departure of the schooner, the con
dition of affairs became more and more perilous.
The night set in with high wind and a heave, chopping
tea, "rte steelm etrained !severely, and her machinery
wag much disturbed. At iebeth the captain ereered the
firing of signal eons and throwing he of rockets,

by the crew of the ship, who with the real and skill
of American seamen, gave themselves no respite all
night long. Hundreds of tone of coal, baggage, and
commissary stores wore,in this way , consigned to the
deep and lost. The trunks, chests, camp equipage, etc.,
of the came, went first, and among them everything

Morning came at lest, and about 7 o'clock two more
schooners bore up for the steamer. and toot off 500 mere

in the extreme. Each man bad to be elewered into the
boats alongside by ropes; and then, aft - Aneeh. boat was
filled, the living freight was conveyed to tleseeiterteer vete

all the boats tbsy could 'amn", and the unmtiereoeietes,e
alone rendered the transfer possible, as the sea was .110 '
and rough, and each loading required a tedious time. One
schooner'took eighty of• the 25th . and fifty of the. 13th,
and sailed, our informant thought, for Fortress Monroe ;
the other teak two htindred of the 25th, and was to make
for Cape May Breakwater, where she was to send a boat

the depathire of the email vessels, the work on board the
steamer continued, the skip meanwhile rocking badly,
and email gear snapping in all directions. The signal
guns were 081 fired, but without suoceee in summoning
further aid. Bat the vessel was greatly lightened by this
time, and the tide coming in fall at 1 P. M. , by availing
themselves of every expedient, by 234 o'clock the ship
was, to the great relief of all, once more got afloat.

The decline of the organizations formed in the early
fleet, of the war has proved mutt unfortunate. Their
ntiltty and general woefulness was self-evident. The or
ganizations were the cm fort of tench derision and re
prone!) on the pelt of thew who were either too 'ewe - to
drill or too mean to purchase a uniform. However, the
desirability of their complete re. establishment is now an
acktiowledged verity. This fact is more clearly ehown if
we consider the great vtunber of active, capable officers
and wee-drilled, Aiaciplined men who have stopped from
their ranks into the volunteer service. In almost every
company recruited in Pniladelpbia may be found a
greater or lees number of their members. The firmer
members of Company A ot the Home Guard Artillery,
may new be found, almost exclusively, in the different
corps of the army end also in the marine service, filling
positions ranging from first sergeant to colonel. Three
ot them have died mu the battle-field, viz.: Major John
ffi Grits, of the 104th Pentsylvania : Captain D. Penrose
Buckley, ot the 6th New Jersey, and Mr J. B. Mackie

121st Pennsylvania Regiment, and a large proportion of
the officers of that regimeet were members of the old
company. Notwithstanding, the number in active ser

met for drill, in answer to the proclamation of the Go

win meetfor drill every evening from 8 to 10 o'clock, end
for muted drills even , afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock, at
their armory . in Marker, street, next door to the Media
depot. Respectable yourg men oestrous of acquiring a
knowledge of the infantry tactics are advised to join, as
all information on this subject will doubtless soon be
made available Stia profitable.
Au inspection of the list of field and line. officers who
were eductive to the Dome Guards will widely any.ono
of the good that has been and may be done byeneereillr

The city is possessed of sufficient aims and ordnance
to arm the different *regiments and batteries that may
retort for service. The authorities have on hand 6,003
nerekete one twenty-pound battery, fully equipped;
four Dahlgren guns; two batteries, one of twenty lad
One of ten-pounder guns, purchased at the Phoeuixville
Works, with aqu e tally of ea v &try pmen tee &c. There
are at present only 1,000 . roan belonging to the four regi
ments; of the Reserve Brigade. This number might at
once be strengthens to the requisite standard. This
force of 1,000 are uniformed, and have been well drilled,
but, with the exception of the let Regiment, are not
equipped with the necessary concomitants e of a march to
any part of the teat°. This neglect has resulted from a
feeling that their cervices would never be reduired fur
ttor than to quell local tumults. As there is. now an
urgent necessity for military preps , adore the immediate
reorganization of regiments and companies will be com
menced. We suggest that the State Government Meanie
nedertake the liquidation of at least a port! en of the
expense attending this business of organization. The
hems of rent, gas. &c , for the use of a building, have
fallen heavily upon the individual members of oompenies,
and some remedy Is needed to tighten the burden.
By reference to our advertising columns may be found
thg proclamation of the Mayor, enjoining upon all citi
