THE WAR.
Few questions of foot aro of presett disoussion,
about which there is so muck difference of opinion
as the number of the enemy now in the field. No
reliable data aro given 'py which wo out ooloulato
their strength. Since Beauregard's official report
there seems to have been a studious effort made at
the South to suppress ail information about the con
dition of their forces, and even he told us nothing
but the effect which mortality and wounds had
produoed upon his half-starved army at Co
rinth. We think, however, that we` can partly
rolve the mystery, and give' an approximation,
at least - , to the strength of the rebel army.
When the famous 'seven days of retreat com
menced—those days which so well proved the
ability of General hloCiellen—the enemy, whose
pursuit was foiled, bad about 175,000 men, more
than double the force of the Army of the . .. Potomac.
MeCleUan, in those Seven days, lost 15,221 men,
killed, wounded, and captured, and the enemy's
newspapers acknowledge• a loss of over 18,000
rebels. This reduces the force at Richmond to
157,000, and others, perhaps, were added to it,
which raised it to 200,000 men. This army met
and defeated' Pope, and was met and defeated by
MoOlellan. 20,000 of the enemy must have boon
lost during those two contests, and' we therefore
!find Richmond to be now defended by 180,000
.men. ..In the West there are four armies, Bragg's,
Marshall's and Kirby Smith's, llindman's and
Price's, numbering together about 80,000. For
coast defence thu onemy cannot have more than
twenty-ftve or thirty thousand troops. The united
armies of the Coded eittcy, tbstradrortm , "le' highest
4,stimatb which eon be made from the data before
us, contain 900,000 soldiers.
Such .is the force 'which they have in the field..
It is their only reliance. Conscription has drain
every able•hodied man from his plantation home..
'Executive proclamations and Congressional laws
.alika fail in bringing new recruits, and the loss of
:the three hundred thimsand will be iho end of
Seemfon. The effort of the Union armies, there
fore, sbouid ‘ be to destroy this army. If it 'cannot
be done by their surrender, perhaps—sad as the
• thought, nifty be— oold steel will do it. At any rate,
as every general and soldier of the whole force
seems bent on bis destruction in behalf of one of the
-worst of all canscs, we can hardly soo, when warn
ing after warning is unheeded, why they should
not have their desires gratified.
TILE NEWS.
Ous news from the Army of the Potomac, this
mdrniug, is highly interesting. In addition to the
numerous letters of our special correspondents, we
publish a full epitome of facts from the special oor
resPondenoe of tho :trading newspapers of America.
Furs Newborn we have an interesting account
of the battle of Plymouth, N. 9. 3 which was fought'
on the 2d instant between a considerable fore° of
rebels and two companies of Union troops. •
FROM our Bngiish files, covering dates to the 14th
instant, will be found copious extracts in to•daY's
• Press. The London Times is exultant over the
rebk successes in Virginia, and predicts the tri-.
nmphant invasion of the North.
Tux position of affairs at Louisville is more satis
factory. Gen. Nelson is about to take the field and
march against Bragg with a heavy division. Gen.
Dan McCook will follow him with the Pea
-Ridge veterans, and Glens. Dumont and Craft, the
gallant Gen. Gordon (hanger, with his brigade of
Southwestern veterans, are ready to move. There,
will be some warm work in Kentucky shortly.
• Tan treachery displayed in the surrender of
Harper's Ferry is still a topics of discussion in all
Circles. The attempt .to shove the blame from
Colonel Milos to Colonel Ford is neither creditable
nor correct. It is enough to know that Colette(
Miles was shot by a Union soldier, if general re

benefit of his health, and bad no mission from the
"Confederate tiovernment." Ile is heartily sick
of the Confederacy and its upholders, and would
like to be a New York politician once more.
Gate. JULIUS WIIITB is now under arrest in
Washington, charged with having bad something
to do with the surrender of Harper's Ferry....A full
investigation of the whole matter is to be made at
once. We hope the finding of the court martial
will be publishca. Gen. White is from Ohio, and
left that State as colonel of -a regiment of volun
teers. Re was mode a brigadier for gallant and
meritorious services upon several occasions.
GEN. WRIGELT. of Georgia, end - Gen. Colciultt, of
Alabama, were killed in the battle of Sharpaborg
flen. Longetreet; of Virginia, (len. Branch, of
north Carnitne, and General Anderson, of South
Carolina, were wounded, with others. The rebels
also lose a number of colonels and other ocicers,
and 20,000 rank and file in killed, wounded, and
Our Future Navy Yard.
We have noticed ~with great satisfaction, that
the committee appointed by Congress to visit
and inspect League Island, have reported fully
in favor of its fitness for the future Navy Yard
of Philadelphia. There is no want of deep
water there; and, indeed, the report that the
Delaware was not sufficiently deep for any ves
sel, was merely one of the ordinary tricks em
ployed by the Now Yorkers to depreciate the
superior advantages of this city. In a case
like this, one well authenticated fact is worth a
hundred arguments. or assertions. Hero is
such a fact; about three years ago the ship
Cathedral cleared from a foreign port for New
York. She was a large ship, drawing 271 feet
water when she came off the port of New
York. After beating about for a week or so,
she could find no ,pilot hardy enough to under
take to take her zip to the city, in consequence
f her trenihnnourr - depth in the water.
They declared that sheiievbiliaild get over
the bar, as nothing exceeding twenty-six feet
draught could do that. The captain of the Ca
lhedral was fortunate enough, at this crisis,
to pick up a Delaware pilot, who offered to
take him to Philadelphia, and did it, without
any trouble. The ship was discharged at
Almond-street wharf, where she took in an
other cargo, and duly cleated out with it for a
foreign port, but was, unfortunately, burned
nt sea. Tho facts of this case are •n re
cord at our custom house, and are well
r known to many merchants, seamen, and
pilots. The Great Eastern, which has never
been able to carry anything at all like a fall
cargo when passing to New York through the
Narrows, is now compelled to go there throUgh
Long Island Soild, a route which is considered
ra ther risky. This immense vessel could come
up the Delaware to one of our quays without
delay or dread., as the river is deep enough for
her ordinary draught. When League Island
is converted into a navy yard any vessel may .
come Into one of its docks. The city has
shown patrlotil.m, as well as liberality, in pnr
thaeing League Island, and presenting it to the
nation ; and it will now be the duty or the na
tion, through Congress, to provide the e le , t „,,,
ttly which it shall bo converted into one of the
'most complete-navy yards in theworld..
Order No. 85
In another column we publish Order No. 85,
.one of the meat important orders ever issued
by the War Department in guarantee of „the
soldier's comfort. It was approved, in accord;
ance with a joint resolution of Congress, on
July 28d of this year, and yet the practicSl
beneficence which it embodies has been ap.'
plied but to a very limited extent in the diree
tion to which it refers. Itprovides that «the
Quartermaster's Del)artment shall issno, upon
the requisition of the Medidal Officer in charge
of any hospital or depot of sihir andwounded
soldiers, such regulation clothing, necessary to
their health and con fort, as may be reqtilsite
to replace
,th:t lost by them from the casu
altiOs of war i" it furthermore commands that
- -
" stt el: issue be gratitiloys, and not cha grd to th e
soldier."
To speak*of this order as kind and judicious
would be to place the relation betweenthe
Government and its military 'defenders to - a
position that would & as much injustice to the
feelings of the latter as to the purposes of the
former. The order is not a piece of Govern
mental charity, since that implies dependence
on one eide••and • munificence on. the other.
Nor is 'it an edict of administrative justice,
for there are no wrongs to be righted, which
are an intrinsic part of the "Government'a
Military' creation; if that were so, tho errors
would have to be remedied, not by a resolution
Which counterbalances some other resoldtion
that has caused the difficulty, but by a change
of the whole internal policy ' thus shown
to be defective or injurious. Whatever
exist are . entirely apart from
the e . Government's provisions, being due
to unwise or slothful extmution of
orders, arid, of course, c. justice" cannot'be
predicated of' the very measures whose.viola
tion constitutes•. the only wrong. The order
in question is not, then, charity by a patron
izing Congress, nor a tangling effort to pa'ch
up some prior mistake ; the organization and
regulation of the War Department beingex
elusively and entirely the work of the Goirern
ment, this order is an essential part of the
Scheme that connects the legislative amid the
military branches. It therefore pertains to the
soldier as intimately as any other order that
controls him, and should be enforced as rigid
ly. If any advantage accrue to him from it,
be has the same right to lay claim to it that
the Government has to attach his services, for
each is equally a Part of the plan that con
nects the State with the individual.
We have been thus particular in defining
the exact position which this order holds that
We may demand its fullest and most scrupu
lous enforcement. Recent circumstances
have made us sure that either the surgeons
of some of our hospitals are utterly ignorant
of the existence of such an order or are most
culpably derelict in the performance of. the;
duties which it imposes on them. There : are
now in this city not ene, or a few, but scores"
of soldiers, returned - front the hOil3itals to the
provost marshal, at, a preparatory step towards.
being sent back to tlieir regiments, who are ,
In such a dilapidated condition- of..wardrohe
that they cannot appear in the streets; and
,must even submit to shame in associating with
their fellows. What an "ontrage is thix---nut
only to the sufferers,themselves, but to the
.Go-'
vernment. whose intentions feet's() kindly and'
provisions arerarthorough, and to the
people Whose generous support has known
no bounds in blood or in treasure ! The men
who have jeopardized everything for us; who
have lost their health in the faithful per
formance of their hazardous and fatiguing
duties; who have tossed wearily through
many fevered hours, in the wards of hospitals,
and have finally' recovered strength—only to
retuin and risk it—that those men, on whom
the destinies of Republican liberty hang,
should be compelled to slink away from sight
for very shame of their rags!
But, disgraceful and unpardonable as this
seems at first, it is mainly the result of igno
rance on the part of those who would be only
too thankful to avail themselves of the Govern
ment's regulation, that they might thus insure
the preservation of health to tbose for whom
their professional skill had secured IL There
is no class of men that have contributed their
- labors to the Federal cause more selt-sacri
• tieing, indefatigable, tender, and true, than our
surgeons. There is none whose position is
'more trying, or whose response to, the varied
,appeals made to them is more generous and
constant.. They will bail our republication of
Order No. 86 with delight; some have proba
bly tivei heard'of it, many have forgotten it,
lint all will now gladly have recourse to it as.
the _means of comfortably Providing for , the
brave fellows whose welfare should be, and is,
the public's most assiduous care.
One other word. It is not solely for the
surgeons and those officially in charge, that We
call attention to this order. It is quite as
much for tbo soldiers themselves. One' of
• our most ,mistaken ideas is . founded upon an
utter rnisappro'fiensfon: of the character of tbe
Usen composing our rank and file. /They are
not beggars, never were paupers, and Wiltnot
now be dependent on private charity. They
are drawn from the class that must form the
main support of every Government Whose in
stitutions. are founded upon the strength and
-intolligenctrof
ry, or laborers, in the development of our
manufacturing and natural wealth. They
are as proud and sensitive as their are
hr VA- aild__RtTZTlo---o—rvlhni
prrvate sources are more frequently':
jetted than accepted. It is gross injustice to
them that the necessity should exist of ma
king such offers and intrnding upon, almost
insulting, that spirit of self-reliance and manly
independence which is every American's first
birth-right. This indelicacy is now done
away. Our soldiers will henceforward be
treated as men. The efforts of individuals
will not relax in the providing of every cam
fort that can honorably be accepted ; but the
defenders of our homes will not b 3 dependent
on private bounty for clothes. Officials every
where—whom it concerns—remember the
general order No. 86.
Dirtinguished Evidence on. the London
Times.
We publish today a number of extracts
from files of the London Times just received.
The tone of the last numbers had induced a
hope that this journal was beginning to change
its policy in regard to American affairs. The
grandeur of the people's unanimous answer
to the ?resident's new call certainly affected
even the Times' moral sensibiaties, though
political" cunning had so warped them, awl
the malignity. of State jealousy so dis
organized them and covered them half
dead fungus growths, that they are utterly
obtuse to any spiritual influence, and laugh
to scorn the • possibility of nobleness in
Republican self-sacrifice. Nevertheless, this
wretched old truckler did, for once, forget to
see-saw between sneers and lies. It had seen
many vicissitudes of national destinies ; it had
watched many strugglings of groat peoples for
the regaining of their birthright and heritage
of political freedom ; it had felt,Enrope shaken
to its centre by the huge throes it endured
when the primordial instincts' of humanity
grappled with Tyranny till its Crown, whose
Lon bands were riveted by centuries, rattled
hollowly and almost fell; bat this great organ,
so high-placed among controlling English in
fluences, witnessed revolutions as it would dis-,
turban ces in school, and prescribed the same
punishment; France, Italy, Hungary, and
every uprising State wore dismissed with con
tempt, with open laughter, or with monarchi
cal rebuke. - -
Our turn came. Till recently we have re
ceived the same sort of handling, only a
little intensified by the fact of our strug
gles aiming ,at a broader maintenance of
Republican ideas. But abuse began to
slacken; the general styles of the Times' edi
torials was surely growing equivocal if not
favorable to the Northern cause. People
wondered. Was the Times' mind drivelling
in the decrepitude of age, or was it suddenly
so shocked by the infamy of its past course
that its repentant reaction created an unsettle
ment of all its mental powers ?
Who can tell? Some secret history found
here an outward expreasion. Read the old
abuse, whoever can estimate the depth of here
DAVIS' intrigues or the, assurance that may
give present currency to his promisei and
notes., Read the new equivocation, whoever
can best imagine the pessible effect of Ape
rictua gunboats on English trtule and Federal
victories on English manufactures.
At any rate, the wind has veered again, and
the old storm of odium is upon us. The last
steamers took ont news of the rebels' tempo
rary successes, and no w we are treated to all the
old ironical advice, depreciation, and misrep
resentation, elegantly rehashed.

LETTER FROM ~ OCCASIONAL."
WASHINGTON, September 2g.; 18&2
The President has .spoken` the great word
itthe right moment. If be had uttered it in
the,naidst of our reverses, it would have been
denounced as au act of exasperation. He
waited until a new blue of victory illurni:.
nated our banners, and then proclaimed that
second Declaration of Independence from
slavery, whieh is certain to awaken more ex
citemenethan the first, and, if possible,..to load
to results more novel and wide•reaching.
Such a decree will startle many convictions.
As I write millions are discussing it in every
section that is traversed by the telegraphic
Wires. It will be greeted by many differences
of opinion. It will Startle the weak, confirm
the conscientious, and for a brief period sup
ply a new weapon to the sympathizers with
the, common enemy. fin: this ,great war
Willie party divisions of the loyal. States
htkare demanded that the President should
.stand by the Constitution and execute
tee laws. His utterance of yesterday was
•but . the expression of the 'executive duty,
in accordance with the act . OE : Congress, and
in this light is entitled to_the - Quemolinewuu:
all' la le. T abidhig - citizens. But
sense - WWII& this noble act of delivbrance
Will be received by the American people
,tianscends the, narrow limits of respect for the
statutes of the Congress of the United States.
It supplies the want and the demand for a
positive, practicalopid decisive policy. It
will consolidate a great progressive movement,
will satisfy millions who have insisted that it
is, vain to attempt a war upon the 'rebellion
without at the same , time assailing that rebel
lion in its stronghold, and it will at once
and forever separate the loyal from the
disloyal. The President has calmly and
heroically bided his time. For many months
-he has resisted the ultra risen of his own party,
when they required of him this very declira
tion at anearlier day; and, in resisting them,
he has secured the confidence and regard of
thousands who stand ready to sustain him,
when ho speaks in his own way and at his own
convenience. He waited until the traitors
had exhausted the patience and forbearance
of the Northern people, until by many new
manifestations of violouce and cruelty they had
proved their determination to wage unceasing
and inveterate war 'upon the Government,
until they bad invaded Ohio and Indiana,
until they had threatened to 'ileVastate Penn
sylvania, and until their blood-thiraty brigands
had resolved to destroy their Ult . % relatives
and friends in the cities of. Nashville and
Louisville. At such a moment the Pre
sident proclaims that all slaves of rebels
shall be set free, unconditionally and forever,
on the first day of the year of our Lord 1863.
He gives notice to the common .enemy to pre
pare for his coming down. No reasonable ob
jection can be urged against this Presidential
proclamation. It cannot excite the traitors
themselves, because they have long ,since an
nounced their purpose to be one of continued
and' remorseless war upon the Federar.Go
vernment. The interest which . might 'be af
fected by it, and which the sympath i zers in
your midbt will attempt to appreaclieli that re

L prisonAii,.:fir. : : driven like outcasts into the
mountains' of Tennessee, Missouri, and
Kentucky, will undoubtedly refuse to
listen to any appeal that seeks to stay
the hand of avenging justice upon its op
pressors. Tho people of the free 'States,
and their brothers in arms against the 'rebel
lion, will not only acquiesce in this remedy of
the President, but wilhhail it as an'inevitable
result of therebellion - itself. They will see
that while we have been dazzled by the philo
sophy.that eighteen or twenty millions of free
white people can readily suppress the revolt
of eight millions, these latter have from the
beginning'of the war been supplied with all
their material subsistence by the results of tho
compelled yet certain labor of four millions of
slaves, and also that as the white producers
of the Royal States have been withdrawn from
various industrial avocations, agricultural,
ruecbanical,land manufacturing, no element, as
in the South,,bas been left
, to supply the va
cuum thus created. Slavery being indisputably
the cause of this war, slavery ninst perish.
In any event,_ the Government must not be
responsible for its maintenance, or even for
its toleration, in the seceding States and dis
tricts, in view of the fact that, while it remains
there, it-fosters and feeds the armies of the
enemy.. Whether the - proclamation 'of the
President will be followed by a servile insur
rection or will be received by the slaves them
selves with favor, is one of those questions
which time must solve. The responsibility in
either case is with the real abolitionists of the
country, these abolitionists, the authors of this
rebellian, being the slave aristocrats themselves.
What impression Mr. Lincoln's proclamation
will make upon foreign nations remains to be
seen. Happily, so far as Great Britain is con
cerned, she cannot hate us with a more bitter
hatred. It will most certainly add to her, guilt
and to our strength. It will prove that, in
this struggle for the preservation of. the Re
public, we have not hesitated to take the re
sponsibility of saving ourselves and'of striking
slavery the severest blow it has ever received
since the day it was planted on our shores by
the English Government. - OCCASIONAL.
Death of Count De Gasparia.
,Our Republic and nation is to-day called upon
to mourn the loss of the Count De Gasparin, ono of
its ablest champions and Most disinteiested de
fenders—of one who, though born and educated
under adverse influences, has proved himself one
of our ablest at d warmest friends, and whose elo
quent voice bas been raised with double force" in
our behalf at the very hour of our deepest affliction,
and even when our national existence was sneering
ly-talked of as a thing of the past.
The news of the death of this noble Frenchman
comes •to "tuf in a brief paragraph in oar foreign
papere. Re was born at the lovely little town of
Orange, in the Vanoluse, France, on the Rhine, and
but a few miles north of Avignon, on the 4th of
July, 1810. Re early entered into political life,
first as a private secretary to Guizot, and, afterwards
as Minister of the Interior, under Louis Philippe.
From 1842 to 1848 he was a member of the Cham
ber of Deputies.
• In public life Do Gasparin has long been known
as a zealous champion of religions toleration and
PrOttstantism. He was what is hero termed an
'•Abolitionist"—that is, he urged the immediate
emancipation of slaves, though, as his recent
works -on this country show, his later views on
this point aro tempered with moderations After the
revolution of 1848 he retired to Switzerland, and
of late he has devoted himself to the study of
the American question. His published works are
Esclavage et traits (1838), De l'affranchtssement
des Esclaves (1839), Interets Generaux du Pre
testantssme Francais (1843), a work " Oa Spiritn
alism," whieh . has been translated and published in •
this' country, and hie two recent books, " The Up
rising of a Greet People," and "America Before
Europe.",
_lt is significant that Gasparin was born
on the fourth of July—the birthday, too, of the
country be has so disinterestedly loved.-IY. Y.

The call made upon the people of Pennsylvania for 50,000

regulations providing for the coining draft.`• This right
mutt not be forfeited by a patriotic effort to guard. our
State against the advance of a rabies° foe, and the
postponement of the draft becomes a necessity that • l
cannot but respect. Notwithstanding the earned effiirts
of the officers charged with the dealer of prepating for
the draft, the city of Philadelphia and the counties of
Allegheny, Erie, Lnzerrie,':Xontgouiery; and others,- tier -

From reliable information received here through pri

The alleged treachery of Colonel Miles is still talked of
in cfficial quarters, and there ts 'good reason for seserting
that, if It had not been for this surrender, the rebellion
would utdoublexily have received its death blow.

Col. Charles M. Prevost at Home—The
Vont Exchange Regiment.
Colonel Charles M. Provost, the gallant commander of
the 116th Pennsylvania (Corn Exchange) Regiment; ar-.
rived in town at ten o'clock last night, via the Panel/7k-
Tapia Central Railroad. Ilia arrival was known only to
his family and a few rename friends who were at the
depot, anxious to learn the condition of his own wounds,
and the fate of the members of his 'regiment.
•
• We are happy to , state that his wounds are not of a
simians character, and it is believed by the attending
physician, that in a f-er weeks he wilt be able to again
take the field. lie received a bullet ',hot through the
shoulder, which lodged itself under the clavicle, and hes
not est been extrac-ed. Ile was also wounded a second
thee by the fragment of an exploded shell.
the battle in which the regiment participated took
place on baturday, Roth test , opposite Shephardstowni
Ta. The regiment a m a part of Pastor's corps, and,
with a portion of Eykesr division '
proceeded to lord the
Potomac, as th e advance wised of the. army. When
they' got across, the pickets of both-armies came in
contact, when the order was received to Virtu in order of
battle on a bluff which oeerloosed the river.
This bluff was very steep, rugged. and rooky; yet the
summit bad to be reached, and tee men earnestly set to
lbw Welk. They aeceneed by ravines, ad the hill was"
tee steep to admit of a for s azi march. When nearthen
blow of the hilt the telaide, who had not, up to thie time,
reanifeeted their presence, opened upon them a ruinous
ate, which mowed the men down with fearful rapidity.
There was no visible means of a sate retreat, and
though the enemy were **Measly five to one, our gal
lant boys etocd their ground mennelly.teritten we re
member that the troops, eepeciatle the Corn Exchange
Regiment, were entirely new, we will readily accord to
there a bravery that seldom manifests Welt in any army.
The enemy grow stronger as tiao action waxed longer.
Orders were then seta that the brigade should retire,
in as geed order as possible. The 118‘1i Regiment, by
seine unfortunate blutities„ did not receive the order,
though the other regimests did. The colonel believing,
no doubt, that there was some good reason for this, re
mained on the field, and, like a gallant soldier, was do
te, mined to carry oat the orders of his superior officers
till others would be received.
For half an hour the 1113th stood the brunt of the bat
tie. and they were attacked front and flanks—a. crofts fire
from three different palate. Of course, the loses in the
regiment were very great. At last, finding no relief at
band, the Colonel was obliged to order a falling back,
which wasdone in. as good a manner tenet:alder the air
camstances, could be effected.
The men, in going down the hill, were. in many in
dances, badly bruised leieveral of the officora had their
ankles -epreined end bruised in a most painted manner.
In crossing the river they were, el' maim, subject to a
galling firs from the rebels on the bluffewho poured in
upon them a constant shower of lead. in climbing down
the rocks Col. Provost was much bruised, and he is, to
this time. unable to say by what meaner or means he
managed haget down safely..
Be subsequently met Col. Barnes, the senior officer
commandieg, when the latter told him that ho hail sent
the order to ietiro a long while ago; to which Col. Pre
' Vest replied, that ho never received it,
The circumstances under which Coe P. was wounded,
, were theoe : Be had ordered a cempeny on the rigat to
charge front, to meet a certain fire, when the remaining
companies supposed that it was an order to retreat, and
they began to run.
wed.. ...101:ant t0115 . ..t0 the..., and bearing Away
the colors, was soon deteoted by Cul. Provbet, woo im
mediately started towards him, took the colors from him,
and with them, rode in front of the regiment to rally the
n en. In this way the Colonel succeeded in atopeing the
flight, though ho made himself the target for the rebel
bullets. His gallantry and bravery on this occasion is
worthy of a more •enbstantial notice than any we can
accord him.
Lieut. White,
who had safely got across the river,
rendered ranch aid to hi: womlded comrades, whom he
carried into a neighboring arm. While engaged is
locking after others too feeble to help themseivee, lee was
shot through the head, and almost immediately died in
the arms of a gallant soldier whom ho was aiding to reach
a haven of safety.
The b.undet s of the battle were conspicuous, and are
melancholy to centereplate, the first of which was in
aehiiin@ our ferecN ever Wllholit kik:twine the strength of
the eheity t eetond, in retaining the soldiers when it was
found that it was su impossibility to make any decided
&tend ; third, in ordering tbo force to take a bluff from
which there was no reteeat, and fourthly, in not giving
the order of retreat to the regiments simultaneously.
Colonel Prevost does pot find fault, for he thinks it ill
becomes a soldier; though' It will strike oven the no
mlitary mind that the weeile thing was le sewed Bell's
Bluff.
The brevet y of Captains Saundere and Ricireike was
comepicuons throughout the action ; and the praises be •
stowed upon the manner of their action by the Colonel
ere nineiticent.
Lieut. kicKeen, of Company K, is seriously wounded
Captain Shorewood, Captain O'Callahan, and others, aro
Much injured by brakes and sprains.
The Obristien Commission, of which Cleo. 11. Stuart,
Mg., is chairman, arrived upon the battle- field most op
poriunely, *lethally supplied with hospital stores,
lint, bandages, and stimulente, all of which were moot
acceptable. Amens the indisidual cases of gelian . ry and
bravery manifested by this noble regiment, it gives us
pleasure to record an act which, for its disinterestedness
and genuine gecelcees, is worthy a place in the sun Is o:
the war.
The regiment had reached the Maryland shore, at least
that portion of it which the fortnnes of the day had
spared the fate of either death or wounding. The rebels
still held the field where the deadly strife had raged. Oar
suffering heroes languished for help; they cried for
water to quench their burning thirst, for bandages to
bind up their bleeding wounds.
Without waiting for the formality of a flag of truce,
Lieut. Lemuel L. Crocker forded the river in the face of
the rebel soldiery. Be reached the other there'll safety,
aed in a few moments was ministering to the wants of
his beloved comrades. A rebel oflioer panted the spot
and inquired of Lieut. Crocker the nature of his end
peas, whether he came to surrender In a hopelees cause,
Btc. i‘ I come," mid he, tr in the cause of humanity. If
you ire human, let ms mission proceed."
The words tonubed the sympathies of the traitor, and,
as if forgetting that be wee a soldier in so wicked a
came, told one gallant lieutenant that he would riot be
held as a prisoner, but that he might remain to take
care of the wounded.
Lieutenant Crocker was in Compaoy 0, and this act
of heroism and dating forms one of the most cheering
-epieodee of that Patel day. -
The Committee of the Corn Exchange Association, who
started for the scene of conflict on Monday night, bad not
reached Hageretown when ()cloned Prevost lett. •
The dead were buried on the field, and the wounded
properly taken care of.
