THE BATTLE OF .A.NTIETAM.

Partial List of Casualties.
[Special Oerrespendenceof .The Press.]
BATT,LI• GROUND AT SHABPSBURG, Sept. 18,48132.
The difficulty of describing a battle is great. A com
manding gener§l, furniebed with the reports of his subor
-dinatee, in : regard to' the movements and conduct of
troops under their ordeit, may, to some extent, do so,
but to a civilian the work is exceedingly difficult, eepo•
daily . where the number of men engaged is large and
the lines:tended, asks the case at the present aeries of
engagements near Slairnanrg.
I found Frederick last Monday morning deserted by
onr army, which lad* peeped through the day before,
and Omits from thence reached the rear of the baggage
wagone, which, togorher with the artillery preceding it,
covered the road for ten miles, and, by...constantly stop
ping, entirely
_blocked the passage to other vehicles.
Arriving attitei 'field 'about dunk, eighteen miles from
11 'rediR 8 C4 t4.lo;.;:iitillearat a faiaelonse, where Col.
Faineworth, of the Ilibtlinois Cavalry, was at thelable,,
with several of his officers, froth from a brilliant dash
that day into the village of Boonsboro, where the 9th
Virginia Confederate Cavalry were rapidly put to flight,
with a lolls of several In killed, wounded, and prisoners.
The calcinel and adjutant bad each killed his man by
abet through the bady, and; under the sunny influences of •
this performance, were bland, courteous and smi ing In
the highest degree. They were delighted with the sup
per; astonished at the cheapness, and complimented the
terms ladies highly upon their culinary genius. I allude
to this by way of illustration of the serenity under which
circumstances enable men to look beak upon the taking
of :Jtfe . 'Coir.Farlisworth is a splendid officer, and has
already .made his )mark before the country. He is be
tween forty and forty-five, tall and heavily made, with
dark hair and:tbla black beard.
On my way, rhad passed the - battle ground of South
Mountain. This tight took - place on Sunday, where
Burnside's and Booker's corps, including the 54th, 100th,
and 45th Penneylvarlia, and regiments No. 1 to 13 ofthe
Pennsylvania Reserve corps, bad behaved very hand
somely, in company with several Ohio, Indiana, Willow,-
sin, -Michigan, and New York regiments. After a hot
action,Aboy charged the enemy with the bayonet into
the woods of two mountains. The dead laid yet on the
field, and exhibited a surplesing disparity between
the Union soldiers and Confederates. One cause of this
was a ditsorder Into which I rayton's South Carolina
brigade-became plunked, and a temporary emotion of
their fire, which engendered a heavy loss in killed and
wounded, to the 23d Begiment from that State. -
At least 1,200 prisoners were taken, mostly South Caro
linians and Georgians. Conspicuous among the dead
were Gl:nerat Garland, and a Colonel Strong, of the 10th
Virg/ale, wisseesiame revealed itself upon the lining of
hie boot. He was a fine..looking man of 35, with a - thick,
sandy beard, and had a wound in the throat from a sabre
bayonet. A volume might be filled with comments upon
• a battkfield of dead, 'descriptions of facial expression,
of posture, and speculations upon their character and
past career.. There were fair-haired mothers' hopes of
both ,parties; mature fathers of families, 'torn by oon
seriPtion fr4ra their Southern homes ; well-loved hus
bands, no - fibre to greet the eyes of praying wives, and
noble youths, for whom, in silence, will weep hearts
whose sacred depth's, yet nnreVealed, will carry bitter
grief through future years. Many had been shot in the
face, and instantly killed,- while firing behind stone walls.
Blood invariably spitted as the bullet struck, and suffused
each countenance with gore. The dead lay in many po
sitions; upon the back, upon, the breast, end often on
the side, 'with the head upon 'the arm, and the knees
drawn up towards the body. Earth, mingled with the
.blood, served to inake their faces still more painful to
behold.
The solemnity, to a beholder of men marching to the
scene of action was ,enhanced' by the darkness of •night
and the around. One would imagine the thoughts
of men to be at such a moment bent upon the coming
ordeal: i Not at - all - A man who wears the livery of
death views hie fate with indifference, and gives it little
attention: His chief thought is for something to eat.
On a march he carries rations of crackers and meat for
several days; and eats them up, particularly the meat,
lief Ore the period has half expired. His mind then dwells
. iia po- , the possibility of stealing chtelens, or. fiddles a
farm-hoagie where be can bUy food. '
A halt finally occurred at a.small collection of henries.

Morning dawned, and revealed our army hidden from
the enegoy behind the breNes of a range of hills, back of
which was a'mejestic mountain of the Slue Ridge. The

Were; similarly posted behind opposite hills. At eight
. o'clock the ball was opened by a series of shells from the
enemy, which struck our centre. No reply was made for
an hour, until certain desired positions 'were occupied
by our forces. the meantime the different regiments
were lying quietly , on the ground is line of battle,
ellaitly‘waitlng the order to advance. Little attention
was given to the shells. Their novelty was past They
would plunge unheeded in the ground and burst, but oc
cadorially with fatal effect. I witnessed a regular whoae

that of Fitz Hugh Lee, taking,so prisoners and, two
pieces of artillery. The day wan occupied in taking
positions, chiefly on the part of Burnside, and night
closed with everything in readiness, and the impros-
Sion upon all minds that the coming day was to witnese
perhaps the greatest battle of the war. The camp-fires
along the line were a most magnificent sight, and would

the infernal work of human destruction
As daylight appeared, on Wednesday, severaldiviaions,
from both Hooker's and Sumner's corps, took advanced

THE POTOMAC, OPPOSITE' JSZCSPHER.DSTOWS, '
VeVil September 21, 1862.
Hardly had despatched my letter announcing all
quiet along the Potomac when a change occurred in the
prograMme. }forerything on this eide indicated such a
hasty making away of the rebels that the assumption
and belief Were, that, this hasty march had been con
tinned beyond Shipherdstown. This assumption and
belief Proved to have beim incorrect,. The day't de•
velopments have shown that :the main body only ad
vaticea thriirrnilesheiond Shepherdstown, and that the
.
silence of pliketeand cunt) lights the evening previous
along the opPosite bank of the river was intended to con=
vey the hnpiession that they Were straining every nerve
to widen the distance between their army and ours.
They laid an ingenious trap, but our men were too wary
to fall into if.,
•
Early this:morning some rebel cannon were to be seen
on the opposite bank to the lefrof Shepberdstown. A few
gunners were the only rebels visible. A reconnoissance
was thought advisable. The 4th Michigan • Regiment,
001 Obilde, and portions of the 821 and the 118th Penn-
Ivaisie, were: ordered scrota on a tour of obseriation,
accompanied , . by Griffin's• battery, under commend of
Lieut. Naslett., The 4th Michigan took , the lead, and
right gallant* they led the way, in the face of the
enney's froWning guns and. their belching grape and
canister. As, unflinchingly, they plunged into the
diem and • faded its dangerous waters as they forded
the Chick shots:tiny, near Slew Market Bridge, in face of
Simmer,' whole rebel brigade.
In passing over, a private of the regiment was killed,
and Lieut. Gordon, Co I, and eight privates wounded.
Our men poured a terrific volley of mueketry into the
rebels, and they Boon ran away, leaving their dead and
gone on the field. Taking possession of the guns, four
in number, our men recrosted ths stream."
No rebels were now discernible, and the coast seemed
clear. ferthiwith Gen. Martindale's brigade, Colonel
Barnes 06mo:sending, consisting of the 18th Massachu
setts. 2d Maine, 25th New York, 13th New York, and
118th Pennsylvania regiments, and the sth and 10th
Ne w York regiments, of Gen. Sykes' divieioo, werethrown
across the river. These men were allowed to land:undis
turbed. afact that lacreased the conviction that the enemy
was making hasty retreat into the bowels of Virginia.
An attempt Was made to throw across General Plea
sonton's brigade of cavalry, but only the 3d Indiana
crossed. The enemy eaddenly opened a cannonade of
shot and shell upon the remaining regiment! that proved
too warm a'arthrtition," and they were not long in plant- •
ing their horses', hoofs again upon the Maryland shore.
And now came the principal portion of the day's work;
nothing more or , less than a brief, bat spirited, battle, in
which a email force of our men fought valiantly against
a vastly ruperior force. The money began to show him
: telt in unexpected strength. He was to be seen in line
of battle as far ;Lathe eye and glass could extend on the
left of Shepberdstown. It became the duty of our men
to stand their groand until beaten or ordered to retreat,
and they stood their ground most nobly. Hoping to bag
the visiting party, the enemy came down upon them like
a thousand wolves on a single fold. The sharp. crack of
musketry and rising : Brooke betokened that a battle had'
begun." Seeing the 'perilous position of our men, Ro
bertson's, Gibson's, Benson'ie and Tidball's United
States Batteries took positions on this side, and poured
in shell and solid shot at a furious rate into the enemy's
. ranks, but few shot were received in exchange.
On' men remained on the other side several hours, al
though actual firing was kept up bat little over half an
hour, when the - Oilier to recroes to the Maryland side
was given. Our men came back in excellent order, not
withstanding the - knemy kept up a constant tire. Their
muskets and-iiiirfiartillery bad played fearful havoc
among the mi"emy, andthey had the consolation of know
ing that they harl i cleWmore label dead and wounded on
the field than our own..rrien. A Number of our men wore
taken priserriers. The captured belong principally to the
118th Pennsylvania regiment::: eer in the field. Through '
some mistake they took .theeerong road on the retreat.
They fought with the steadiness and coolness Of a veteran
regiment, and they were highly complimented by Colonel
• Barnes for their bravery.
Colonel Prevost, whose name beads the list of wounded,
received a severe, bat not dangerous wound in the side,
While carrying the colors of the regiment. All the men
of all the regiments, in fact, behaved splendidly.
Bearing the cannonading, and not knowing but a
general engagement might ensue, hosts of regiments
came•hurrying -towards the river. Close by the river,
and directly opposite Shepberdstown, was General Grif
fin's brigade, every 'moment expectlag that General Me
rrill would order them across the river. General Sykes
alto went across the river, with the regimouto attached
to his command, and during the battle was prominent in
the thickest of the fight. These regiments tally sustained
their reputation for gallantry. I learn teals's men suf
fered some, but, up to the time of despatching this letter,
I bare been unable to learn the names of the sufferers.
Is stances of female heroism have rarely developed
in the present war. A woman performed an act of
daring to-day worthy of record While the battle was
at its fiercest, a woman came acme the river. imparted
to. General kforell information as to the position of the •
enemy, and that they were marching in force this way,
with the intention r f entrapping our army. Oar guns are
throwing shells across the river as I close my letter, but
fail to losing out any response In the Intervale of oar
men shelling, heavy-cannonading is heard-in the direc
tion of Hagerstown.
It was reported that a force of rebel cavalry and attn.
lery bad left in the direction of Williamsport, and a force
was sent in that direction this morning. Heavy firths
was beard in that direction to-night, which shows that
they have become engaged.
Qur lofts in killed, wounded, and resonant will reach
ahout 160. The troops safely returned, to Maryland,
bringing their wounded with them. Infoimstion was re
ceived to day of the evacuation of Harper's Ferry by the
rebels. • Their artillery was removed from the line of the
Potomac last night, and it is believed their army Is falling
back in the direction of Charlestown and Winchester. •

FROM 'FOE. PENINSULA.
(Pro= on Occasional Corresiandent.]
GLOIJOSSTEE Porter, NNAn YORKTOWN.
kloptember 20,1802.
TEE WILLTAFEISSIIRG- AFFAIR.
You have no doubt received full particulars of the nu.
fortunate 'surprise of the..l3th Pennsylvania Cavalry by
the rebels at er near Williamsburg. Judging from the
reports of the fugitive and pank-stricken members of
that corps who have arrived at Yorktown, the negli-,
genes of some one at the above mentioned Union out
post is reprehensible for having allowed the rebels, In
Only email force, to surprise our cavalry white they were
asleep in barracks and camps. To whom the blame
must attach .1' cannot say. MI agree that it was no fault
of the gallant Colotel Campbell, who commanded Sheath.
THE POSITION HERE.
The advance of the rebels to . Williamsburcoreated no
little uneasiness both here and at York towrr, and mea.
auras have now been taken to strengthen our position, so
that now we are able, with the assistance of the two trim
little gunboats in the river, to repel an attack from any
force the rebels may feel inclined to push forward'
SOCCESSPIIIi. FORMIIN% EXPEDITION'.
A day or two since, a negro came into our linear-and
gave us notice that a drove• of cattle, purchased for the
Confederate army, was collecting about five miltureff; on
the plantation of a Major Adkine,• in the rebel. service,
and permission being at once obtained fromßes. Emery,
commanding this poet, two companies of the 104thPenu--
sylvania Volunteent wont out on a scout in the direction
indicated, after darkrand returned next morning, with
tbirty.five bead of fine beef cattle, which we have-now
in the fort hero, and which we all think are Rust fat
enough to kill
THE lISKPIIL CONTRABANDS
These fugitive slaves are better than scouts when pro
perly understood.' They have given us the whereat/outs
'of a vast amount of forage, and, being well acquainted
with the roads and' by. paths, never misguide us in re
connoitring, and yet some of our pro-slavery officers here
turn back whole families of these fugitives; in direct op
position to the orders of our Government. These pro
slavery sympathizers are ae unpopular in the army as
they are with the people, and it is about time that the
Government was rid of their services-for the good of nur
cause. I am pleased to say that General Emory, who is
not only a patriot, but a true soldier, has joist issual a
most stringent order that, hereafter, these poor devils of
slaves shall be received into our lines, and taken -care of.
It is not Abolitionism to say that, in war, all injury
should be done the enemy that is practicable or legitimate.
Taking these negroes into our service injures the enemy,
and, therefore, apart from humanity, it is right.
THE NEWS HERB.
The news of McClellan's successes in Maryland, . and
the failure of the rebel plane of invasion, everywhere
gives the most unbounded satisfaction to the troops, and
we are all anxious to be led onto battle again for - our
country's cause, even though_ the Government of that
country should forget us, who have fought for the canoe
on so many bloody fields.
Our brigase Is at present in the enjoyment of excellent
health, spirits, and discipline, and we only ask the op
portunity to distinguish ourselves upon the battle-field.
I am, sir, your obedient servant, .

THE WAR IN KENTUCKY.
Account of the Surrender of Munfordville.
LOulairtuns, Ky., Sept 18, 1852.
You have probably received through the daily papers
here an account of the two days' , battle at vtunfordville.
',have just managed to reach here from Buell's army,
and cannot give you the details as soon as you will get
them by mAI. But this much I can say, that in no
event of the war of rebellion have treason and treachery
.been so apparent as in this surrender of 5,000 troops at
lidunfordville. It is enough to make a man in his frenzy
clench his fiats till the nails indent his flesh, to think of
the disgraceful conduct of the commbnding officer. Ido
net mean Oolonel Wilder, of the 17th Indiana. That
gallant officer has nothing of the submissive in his
character. He deserves, and ought to have, immedi
ate exchange and the reward of a soldier.
Do you know the features of his fight on Sunday at
Idrinferdville 7 With 2,500 men and five pieces of artll
lery he Successfully resisted five different assaults upon a
mud f. rt with ditches not three feet wide and deep, made
by a force of 5,000 men. Ho fought these rebels with
raw troops who bad not been in the field two months.
Be killed at least four hundred of the rebels. His men
beatallem down from the rifle. pits with thelbtar of their
guns. Be resisted this force for seven hours. and so well
did he manecuvre his men that he lost- but seven killed
and thirty• three wounded.
But, unfortunately, ho was reinforced by Oct. Dunham
on Sunday, and Dunham superseded him es senior colo
nel. Dunham proposed even on Sunday, when victory
had but perched on our banners. and the enemy was an
tnally retreating, to surrender On Monday Dunham de
manded reinforcements, and two regiments and a battery
sere sent him. On Tuesday the rebels again attacked.
They .planted a battery, and shelled the fort for five
hours, and 'ben cooly demanded its surrender; and the
butternut Democrat, Colonel Dunham. or the behb In
diana, who has bad to publish defeated of himself against
the accusations of dozens who called hi n a rebel sympa
thizer, as coolly surrendered; and this to the same force
which Wilder, with half the men, had whipped moat un

Movements of the Rebels.
(From the Giticinnati Times, Saturday ]
The rebels, like the wicked, "flee when no man pur t
Booth them " To. day it Is ascertained that Gen. Heath,
from canoes well known to himself, has made tracks to
wards Lexington. He feels anxious to help Gen. Kirby
Smith out of a bad scrape. The tables have been turned
—instead of Gen. Smith reinforcing Heath, the reverse is
the case.. To-day Gen. Beath was mnitog toward Smith
as rapidly as ;visible. Toe mutt of the movement and
bow successful he will be hi making ft are in the future.
The news from hfuntoroville, although seeming to us
of a very unfavorable character, is not so regarded at
headquarters. We state this with the assaranoe .that
those who command are much better poste! than we are.
We get the outside, they the inside report. They know
the facts, we have the stories.
It ie .now well known that the divisions of Heath and
Kirk, Smith will form a junction to• day at Lexington.
Their foroes'are estimated at 18,000 men. There are now
no forms between bare and that town.
Gen. Smith took ofmmand to-day. Up to 12 M. hitad
not completed his entire staff., Col. Guthrie has been re
tained as commander of the Fatigue forces. ThiCs a
good and just appointlitent, and is another evidence of
the fitness of Gen. Smith to command. Cot Guthrie has
conducted his department with °kith and has given uni
venial !satisfaction.
KERtY SMITH AT Lsitzgurox:
,Capt. B B. Smith, formerly of the Ist Idiasouri regi:
ment, and lately engaged in CoL Metcalfe's cavalry, and
who was;furtber more, engaged in the late tight at Bich•
mond, arrived in this city last evening. afjer the re
treat at Hichniond, Copt S. went directly to Lexington,
and remained there until the place becaino 'too hot for
him as a Union man. He joined Morgan's battery, and
wad sent down to Oynthiana with a portion of that com
mand. .At that point he took - two of the battery horses
and then took French leave for the Queen City.
He reports Gen. Kirby Smith in quarters at Lexington,
and that the rebel force between our lines and that point
are straggling back in a somewhat scattered condition.
Thire is a great:scarcity of water. as well as provisions,
along the road—the wells being exhausted at:many of the
ferm.houees. The Secession sentiment is. however,
strong, additions being made daily to the rebel troops.

Hon. Oideon'Yretles, Secretary of di( Navy
SIR: I have the honor to report that on the 23d ult.,
having remained- off the city of Raton Rouge time day"
after its evacuation by our troop's; le proceeded ere they
river to reconnoitre reported batterieein progress at Pbrt
Hudson, La., and also-to coal my vesseteat• Bayouleara r
the only place I could eletain any' save at 'Now Orleans:
Arriving there I found ties town apparentiyedeterted. and ,
the coal burning. Bending a bean' crew on shore, they
,were fired at by guerillas from thalweg* in heavy force,.
my men drove them out,. and burned the buildings in the•
lower 'part of the town; to prevent suchleiitigeumerto ,
protect the enemy. Tbeoe guerillas had a few days 'pro:
vionsly fired at and wounded several of thee crawler this'
'Flatted States gunboat Bumpier.
On the 24th I was necessitated by want of feel to send
the towboat Anglo- &marimba, which I had fitted Counted'
armed, to NeW Orleans for coal; and I again dropped
down the river and awaited her retern off Port Htideon.
I could discover no guns at this place; but earthworks
were in progress, and, whilst destroying these, I had the
ailefortnne to explode my heavy ten-loch gun- TEA
Anglo. American not returning up to the evening of' thee •
28th, I returned to Bayou Sara, - where 'we were again'
fired at by the guerillas, and from 'the buildings-left, on
which I ordered those remaining to bedestroyed:
The Anglo-American joined me on'the 29th and •re- --
ported three batteries as having opened on her whilst
passing Port Hudson, She received seventy-three shoes
in palming.
I had received information that the rebel
Webb wee at Natchez, to which city she. had convoyed - '
trapeports with supplies from Red river. I followed to
that city, but found they had sought theprotectionef the "
Vick eberg guns. At Natchez a boat's crew from the "
Essex was sent Rebore to procure some ice tor my sick,
when they were wantonly attacked by over 200 armed''
citizens, wounding the officer in command, and killing
one and wounding five seamen. I immediately opened'
fire on the lower town, and set a considerable number of
houses on fire from which they were attacking us. After
bombardipg the place for an hour, the - Mayor • uncondi4
tonally surrendered the city. During this fire one of my
nine inch Dahlgren guns exploder].
I followed the rebel gunboat Wobble the batteries at - ."
Vicksburg, utder the guns of which she, with two '
transeorts, lay. Heavy ordnance batteries, 'extending
three miles farther down the river than during the siege
in July, prevented my nearer approach to these boats:
Having exchanged some shots, and ascertained that the
upper fleet was not in the vicinity of the town, being
short of 'provisions, my battery weakened by the loss of
two guns burst, and also short of ammunition:l deter
mined to steam down the river to New Orleans for eno
lithe, and if.possible ascertain the strength of the Port
Hudson batteries. Leaving Vicksburg on the evening
of the 6th inet , on the 7th, at a quarter pest four A
we were cff that place, and on coming within range the
enemy opened on us a 'vigorous fire with siege. guns.
The Essex was struck heavily. As near as I could
judge the enemy had in position from thirty-five to forty
guns of 120-poundere, rifted, ten-inch smooth, nine-inch
and eight-inch calibre, in three batteries commanding the
river, to the extent of five miles.
A sixty-eight pound, a thirty-two-pound, and also a
ten-inch rifle ball lodged in the Essex. but without ma
terial damage. We were under fire an hour and three /
quarters. curing which time our guns were well and in
cessantly worked, and I have lemon to believe the enemy
suffered heavily, and the works were - certainly in pert
destroyed. fir , Harry Wyatt, fourth master, and my
secretary, had command of the batteries of the Essex,
and his conduct throughout met my entire approbation.
A land force will be necessary to comp ete the destruc
tion of this fort, which, if allowed to again be - restored,
would seriously interrupt the free navigation of the
Mississippi
In the various encounters of the Essex, mince leaving
St. Louis on the 6th July, she has been struck heavily
one hundred and twenty-eight times by heavy Mot—
glancing shot left no record—three having broken her
iron, and but one penetrated, and that from a rifled
sixty-eight pounder at the distance of a few feet, de
livered by the ram Arkansas.

Richmond.as it Is—A Contraband's Story.
Tbe -Washington Republican pnbliOna the following
.- , -
The white people at Richmond make many colored
people believe that the Yanks" sell in Onba all the
slaves they can get to pay the expenses Of the-war; and
son e colored people hate the Union people just as their
masters co. But it is easy to undeceive them.
At every instance of apparent success by the Union
army,_ many people at Bicbmord, and many of the sol •
there always began to rejoice that now - Richmond was tO
taken, and the trouble ended. This was very mush
the case before the retreat of the artily of the Peninsula.
A great deal of machinery was removed towards Dan-.
ville at the time, and a vast quantity of tobacco was also
removed; but much of the tobacco was understood to
have been afterwards destroyed by exposure to the floods:
I remember that one very respectable gentleman, Mr.
John Oaskie, cried like a child at the lose of his great
Store of tobacco.
The army took all the white men, or very few, indeed,
escaped. The writing in the public officer) appeared to
be done chiefly by women. The nrkroes were made to
work very bard, both in the public and private service.
At reversl timee of excitement, large number. of them
were sent South.
The scarcity of food and clothing was very groat. Corn
meal could be obtained at $2 50, but only a bushel at
time fora family. The prices have often been correctly
quoted by the Richmond papers, except that some of the
articles named were not to be had at all. The ladies,
even of wealthy families, looked quite threadbare and
very lank without crinolines, while many of them were
for months confined at home for want of shoes, the Pries
of which was from four to six times the former prices,
and they ex or and scarce even at that. An ex-member
of Congress in Riblimond—Mr. Caskle—was relieved from
a perplexing dilemma by his father, who gave him a pair
of half-worn Congress gaiters r.
Who are Fighting our Battles?
lb the Editor of The Press:
Bin A class of political partisans have, during this •
war, endeavored to create divieior a in the North, by de
claring that the burden of the war is bone by the De
mocratic party, who, they assert, compose ttn•ee.fourtha
—it not more --of the rank and Ole of the army. Bo often
has this statement been mado by [dump orators and mine- '
papers• that numbers of our citizens seem to regard it as
truthful, and the result is, that remarks of an offensive
nature have been made in the presence of persons wtto
differ in political opinlob with the Democracy of the pre
cent day, especially that class -known as RreckinridLe
Democrats.. That the remarks I allude to are not only
unjust, but absolutely without foundation in truth, the
enrollment for the di aft proves beiond all cavil. '
It must be plain to every mind, that if the Democrats
really form thres.fourthe of the rank and file of the
army, the enrollment will show that a greater per
tentage of the fighting population have enlisted in the •
Democratic than in the Republican districts of the State.
Now, the enrollment those() the very reverse of this: for
from It in appears that a far greater per centege of the
fighting population of the Republican districts have gone . •
to war than from the Democratic districts. The Demo
cratic county of Northampton has soot less mento war •
than the Republican county ofßlair, and yet Blair polls
but little more than one-half the vote of Northampton.
The Republican county of; McKean has sent more men
to the war than the Democratic county of Monroe, and
yetillonroe polls almost fifty per sent. more votes_than .
McKean. The fighting Quakers of Repu oilcan Chester
county have sent within five per cent 'as -many men to
War as Democratic Berke, and yet the vote of:Becka
is thirty per cent. more than Cheater's The combined
vote of the Republican Counties of Lawrence, Union,
Clinton, and Blair, at the last Presidential election, was
fourteen thousan d four hundred . and fifty,-tliree4 and
the combined vote of the Democratic counties of Berke, -
Northainpton, and Monroe,:at the same election, was
twenty. seven thousand three hundred and thirty-three;
Yet the Republican counties named have sent, to the
war over three hnndred more men than the Democratic)
• counties they are contrasted with, although they =-
polled hardly more than hair the number of:
Totes. The morning paper from
.whlch I enlist
the Information' regarding the men sent to the war "
from thq foregoing counties has never exhibited Repub. -
/lean proclivities ; indeed, its conductors seem_perfectly
willing that the cornerstone of the rebellion shalt remain
untouched, to breed' future dissensions, it not future
ware. lithe marshals' returns from alt the counties of
Pennsylvania could be published, I am confident, such a
• condition of - things would 'be revealed, that no loager
would the entering inouiriea be heard; " Where:are your
Wide. Awakts 7 Where are your Republicans, now "P ,
Mr. Editor, the truth is, that the rank and file of the
United States army, as far as Pennsylvania is concerned,
is almost absolutely mado up of Republicans and Douglas
Deniocrats. There are Breckinrid§e Democrats also in
the army, but you see them as quartermasters, as nolo : .
vele; and as generals.
It was with no wish to wound the.feelings of any, but •;
that in order the cause of justice and troth should be
served, Ipenited the f4egoing. The facts of the creel -
bay, been so long .falsified to accomplish—as I believe—
sinister ends, that•l conceive it hall time that the truth
shoild be set before the people. •
