THE WAR.
Once more the country has been greeted with a
series of despatches from the seat of war, such as
were so prolifio in those glorious days of Forts
Donelson and Henry and Island No. 10. Defeat
and disaster have changed to success and victory.
The boasted invasion of Pennsylvania has been
thwarted, and the grandiloquent proclamations of
Robert E. Lee and Bradley Johnson are but so
much waste paper. The gloom which has clouded
every one is suddenly removed, and again we can
about as we used to for the grand old flag which
will soon enter Hagerstown in triumph.
We Fonstoongratulate Major Generals god
lollsn
and Franklin, and Brigadier General Hooker, upon
Sunday's complete success. It has saved Pennsyl
vania from pollution and the nation from disgraoe.
It has redeemed, at least, part of the dishonor of
the retreat from Manassas. It has invigorated the
army, and caused every o:e to breathe freer. Lot
it continue, and we wilt again see that confidence
in the ultimate moms of our arms which was so
universal at the commencement of this year's cam
paign.
Between the velleys of Western Maryland there
are two ridges. Frederick is upon one side, Ha
gerstown on the other, and Middletown between.
A turnpikiosonneeti the three. Where the east
ernmost ridge encounters the Potomac is a narrow
gap, just wide enough to allow the railroad and
canal to, pass, and known _as the Point of Rooks.
From lialsrstown to Frederick is twenty-five
miles, and . from Point of Rooks to where the turn
pike crosses is ten miles. After their retreat from
Frederiels, the enemy crossed this ridge, and of
coursb defended it. General McClellan pressed
upon them, and, after a desperate defence, *rear
guard was defeated, and the gallant liooker was,
at last advises, in hot pursuit, destroying : and cap
turing at every step. The left of the army, led by
a gallant Pennsylvanlan—General Franklin—Was
equally successful. The chase was me,do as far as
Middletown, and. the enemy's baggage trains and
troops seem to have paid dearly fox: their excursion
across the Potomac.
But, although there should be great rejoicing over
this signal victory, it should not load as to be in
cautious. Leo and Jackson are as crafty as any
two conspirators ever were. This sudden retreat
from Frederiok may only be an attempt to draw
the Union army away from Washington, and a
sudden onset upon the capital may surprise us at
any moment. We rely, however, upon the ability
of McClellan to successfully bilk the eflemy at
all points, and craftiness for once may fail to aid
the traitors. Banks and Heintzleman are watch
ing the enemy in front of Washington. But in all
events, let not a single effort be wanting to fill up
the ranks of our armies. The President and Go
vernor both ball for aid, and let all they want be
sent them. •

Oa our first page, we publish a biographical
sketch of the late General Reno. We might have
added, that be Was for a time on the Coast Survey,
then on topographical duty in the West; for a year
engaged in building a military road from Big Sioux
river to St. Paul, Minnesota. From 1854 .to 1857
he was stationed at Frankford Arsenal, near Phila
delphia. He was afterwards chief ordnance officer
to General Johnson, in the Utah expedition, and
remained there till 1859, when he was detached,
and sent to the Mount Vernon Arsenal, Alabama;
He was afterwards stationed at Leavenworth, Kan
sas, where he was when the rebellion broke out.
This is a day of glad tidings. We have met
the enemy and covered him with shameful and
overwhelming defeat. The darkness and gloom
of the past fortnight give place to the glory of
a lasting triumph. It is impossible to estimate
the value and results of this great victory. By
the dispensation of Providence we had suffered
defeat to our arms, and it seemed for a little
time as if God bad forsaken his people and
their cause. The great army of the Poto
mac, after nestling, under its gunboats, was on
its way to Washington ; the army of the
West bad melted away, as though its bat
talions had been made of snow ; the army of
Virginia was retreating before an active, vigi
lant, and wary foe. On the plains of Manassas.
battle had raged even more terrible than be
fore, and the guns of the enemy were again
hoard in the streets of Washington. The
capital of the nation was filled with giporay
hearts, and loyal hearts everywhere were sad
and desponding. Maryland was invaded—its
people were plundered and oppressed; Penn
sylvania dreaded an invasion-z-while Wash
ington and Baltimore were little more than
bostages for our own good_balumr-4.- •-
-to have risen from this condition of despair
and terror, and reorganized an army—to have
placed our own State in a condition of de
fence in anticipation of invasion—to have
surmounted every pbstacle that could oppress
or deaden the heart of man, and march from
defeat as enthusiastically as though marching
from victory—is to realize the best qualities
of the citiien, and the noblest element's of the
soldier. This has been done within the past
fortnight, and it has culminated in the magnifi
cent victory we chronicle this morning. The
brief despatches of General MoGra:lx/at show
the nature of the recent cdritdsts' in Western
Maryland. Our soldiers fight like meri who
realize what war is. In the invasion of Ma
ryland we hid a warning which came to us in
good time, and made an impression upoit
people that •must last forever.. ilt makes tail;

of all, whether loyal or disloyal, must submit

in civil war. Maryland is to-day, poorer by

Victory.
as expressed in his despatch, we do not see
how the enemy can escape an utter annihila
tion, or, at best, the virtual surrender of his
position. With the hastily-formed army of
General REYNOLDS at Chamberabnrg, .IIoCLEL-
Lan pressing him from Frederick, Mu.as at
Harper's Ferry, and the various divisions of
the Army of the Potomac encircling him like
the stone-wall which has become famous in
Southern history, defeat seems to be Wri
table. After:" the disasters of earlier • days,
wo feel grateful to - God for being permitted
to honor such deeds as those we'are honoring
to-day. Let us honor the men who have
made these toilsome marches and fought
fearful contests. Let us honor 'the un
complaining soldier who has marched for
Months and months in search of an im
placable foe, and who at every step
ho has traced in Virginia, has been covered
with the blood of the rebellion. Let us honor
tbe.great Generals who have conceived these
plans, and the brave mon who have car
ried them into executjon. General Mo-
CLELLAN may well feel proud of the bless
ings which are heaped upon his name,
as the great hero of the day, When the
news of his victory came thrilling over the
wires yesterday morning, a million hearts
blessed God that He had permitted him to con
quer the men who have been•defying and.out
numbering him since the beginning of his
military career. Those who have confided in
our young chieftain will find that their confi
dence has not been misplaced. What he has
done thus well in the beginning, ho will con
tinue to do to the.end, and we may hope, that
before the frosts come over the earth which is
now being trodden by our victorious armies,
the rebellion will have been utterly crushed,
and our commander will have sheathed the
sword of the conqueror.
To do this, there must be immediate and.
earnest effort. , Now that we are pursuing the
rebels, and slaying them; let the . hands of-lour
generals ho strengthened. We have the, power,
the resources, the courage, and the 'stall ;- fet
every nerve be strained to accomplish the
downfall of the rebellion. Every man that can
bear a musket should be sent to the Army of
tbo Potomac.
All our means should be risked upon this
issue. We can- only beat the rebels by con
. ..
stunt, continuous, and crushing blows. We
must not permit them to rest—we must not
fight a battle now and a battle then—we must
fight daily and hourly until the end arrives.
General McCLELLen has turned the tide ; now
let us swell the current. Let him advance by
day and- by night, by forced marches, over
mountains and across rivers, alvirays harassing
and destroying them. Let the Administration
push on the work vigorously, and we think
that before winter the rebellion will be at an
end. .
Milne rejoicing over these victories, and
henOring the heroic living, let us weep for the
•
gallant dead—for the brave and faithful Rano,
and those who fell 'at his side. We cannot
have the laurel without the cypress, and
every hour of joy must have its moments
of sadness. tternal honor to their names !
They died as soldiers _should die, with the
noise and roar of battleringing in their ears;
they died as only patriot soldiers should die,
in the hour of victory, and their country will
forever cherish their devotion and valor. '

for them to attempt to rivet the fetters of

We thought we should come to the irrepres
sible chivalry before we had read lima further.
What is this chivalry—can anybody tell? The
poetaster, with the characteristic orhiograpby
of Dixie, takes occasion to intimate gently that
it is gc pierless." We take him at his word,—
for we have every reason to presume that his
word is as good as his bond—and consequently
conclude that it is without any ostensible
means of support. Some day, when all
truth is revealed to human comprehension,
society will learn, with gaping astonishment,
that its Tigg Montagnes, its Chicken•Smiveys,
andlts Harold Skimp. les, are all life-members
of the chivalry ; and will any one assert that
the name of a peer can be found on the list ?
Thou wilt not cowerin the dust,.

Thy beaming sword shall never rust,

Remember Carroll's sacred trust,
Remember Howard's warlike thrust,
And all thy slumbers with the just,

We protest against thth . , taking ,in:vain the
honored names recorded 'in. tbiMyerse, and
especilly dOwe protest against their invoca

"dust" and " knit?! *Cid indicate. The
author will not attempt to justify this broach
of propriety.

But what do the four cc withs" mean in the
stanza? Are they an accompaniment to the
torch and heel, in the despot's enterprise, or
Is it all poetic license ? We pause for a reply.
Meanwhile we hurry abstractedly thiough "the

THE LOSS OF THE ADIRONDACK, AND THE REASON
ISLAND 07 ABIOO,
Lat. 26 deg. 31 min. N., long. 76 deg. 512ultia. W.

•
Sia: No doubt, by this time, you have heard of the
loss of the United States steamship Adirondack; and as
various opinions may exist in the minds of the American
public as to the cause, permit me to state that such a
disaster may happen at any time, even with the greatest
Care. The currents among our islands are little under
idood, and are often erroneously stated by writers. This
:1 know from thirteen years strict investigation and ex •
perience.
Here, with a waning moon, the current invariably sets
from the southward, toward the west, taking the curve
of the Elbow reef, as it is called, at the rate of three knots
per hour in summer, and sometimes as much as five in
winter, being subject to the variation, caused by the
wind and the ebb and Row of the tide, which sets strongly
in among the caps surrounding the main islander Abaco.
Two or three days after the change of the moon the cur
rent changes in the opposite direction, inclining a little
more to the east, with a much tees velocity, say from oae
to two' and a half knots per hour, subject., as before stated,
to the influence of the wind, ebb and flow of the tide, 6w.
There is a large ,hest of navigable water between the
main island and the case, hence the strong set of tide at
various openings in the reef. At the place where the ship
went ashore (opposite Elan-of• War Gay), the land is very
IoW, and the reef stretches out farthest to the north, with
a aide opening where no land can be seen, except in a
very clear night.
There have been a great many wrecks about this same
spot---some very valuable ; and It Is counted one of the
worst wrecking grounds in the Bahamas.
All this has bees kept secret heretofore, as its publica
tion would have lessened our chief means of subsistence
—wrecking. But our Government being about to erect a
light house here soon, it cannot harm us much now. I
may as well add, that the conduct of the men while among
AB has been that of gentlemen, and of the officers I may
use the Irishism, may we have such every day. J. W.

a glorienely encouraging character.

they left Frederick, and yesterday fought them-fir four
hours in a general engagement, detested them, and sent
them flying in rapid retreat to get out of ditty Ma r y.

The scene of the fight yesterday was upon what is
generally called the Seared mouatiiin of the Catoctin
range, but in the maps is called the donth, mountain.
Oar forces on Saturday drove the rebel leer guard out
of ilfiddletown, and oar advance halted on that night a
short dietance beyond that village.
Early on Sunday morning the onward movement was
resumed by Gen. ticOlellon. The rebels were directly
in front and (etreated elowly, resolutely contesting evert

replied, and the tire was at times very heavy; but the
advantage from the higher grounds they occupied . being
with the rebels in their artillery practice, our Generals
depended more upon their- infantry, and eeavy columns
were pushed svocessfully forward, :driving the neemy
back until about half the accent of the mountain was
gained*
In doing this work some splendid dashes were made by
our troops, in which Burnside and Elooker's corps (for
merly McDowell's) particularly dletinguishedthemsolies.
Between 2 and tt o'clock the rebels were found drawn
up in line of battle, their left covering Turner's Sail,
through which the turnpike to Hagerstown. passes, and
their left extending to Grametovin Gap;
iD n ' r right waft led by GM.. Hooker, in advance, with
Gen. Franklin on the left, and Gen. Burnside's corps in
the centre. Heintalemen'a corps was pressing up in the
rear, and was, I believe, in reserve Some portions of it
may have participated in the fight.

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
' New Torte, September 15, 1862.
The obscure Paragraph which was at the head of my
letter In The Pies., this morning is now open to a fuller
explanation. Last week it was discovered in the mar
shal's (Thee that Alexander Heiber, the clerk of the
material; had succeeded in obtaining 81,350, by means of
forged checks,. The money to obtained was the private
fends of the marshal, • although the bank Will have to
suffer the loss. Just when the fraud was discovered, the
delinCtOont was miasing,.and has not been seed `since.
The reporters were made acquainted with the facts,
but by request of the marshal 'refrained from publishing
item until measures would result in the arrest of the
offender; but by a breach of faith; the whole story was
published in the Times thle morninr4 ore %belay of the
discovery, of the forgery, Heiber called on Mr. Cisco
with an order for E 250.000 deposited with him, payable
to bearer, and purporting to Mire been signed by the
marshal.'
Thernaking of the order payable to bearer was a mis
take do the part of nether, who was informed by Mr.
Olaio that be did not do business that way, and requested
him to toll the marshal 801 and that if he (the marshal)
needred to arrange a transfer of the money, he or his
deputy mind attend bo'person. nether wan well known to
• many persons in the United States Court building as a
'convict, who bad been arrested here several years ago
for foryery and sent to England, where he was con
victed and sentenced le sir years at Botany Bay.
Deputy Marshal Thompson took the prisoner to Eng
land on the extradition warrant, when Mr. flyer was
marshal. After serving his • time out; Heiber came to
New York atd-was employed in the marshal "s office as
clerk, on the recommendation of the 'prelent deputy
marshal. • Marshal .Murray says the antecedents of
nether were . studiously concealed from him. He em
ployed nether as his ~ , p rivate secretary. Heiber had
accent to considerable information and secrete connected'
with the bruilnees of the office.
Heiber was not a citizen of the United States, although`
engaged latterly in the transaction of important MIAMI.'
connected with the provost marshalship. This case. Is
merely acommentery on the loose manner in whiclithei.
briefness of - )Marshal Marray's office is conducted. -Mr.:
Murray lea good-hearted and energetic man, determined
to do his duty and do right, but he is surrounded by
cormorant..
The number of deaths in this city last week was 529.
Of the whole, 318 were children under five years of age.
A' joint meeting of the eominon Council Boards was
held to dey, May or Opdyke in the chair. The proceed
ings were in secret, but the buelnese was understood to
be in reference to the harbor defences.
Now that the enrollment of the citizens of this city
liable ,to perform military duty has been completed,
it is certain that the draft will take place on the 20th
instant, at the latest, unless the quota is filled by that
date.
The news which we have received today is hivigo
ratiog.• Rope begins to revive. The prayers of the pep..
pie are with the army. - We can afford to be joyful over
vict.orite but we take it very ill to be snubbed and beaten
