TILE WAR..
Tux ARMY OF TH7 POTOMAC 111 resting on the
north bank of that river. It is being recuperated,
reorganized, and reinforced. This is necessary. It
is true that the universal desire of the American
people is that our army should advance, now and
henceforward, following up and using the advert.
tages gained in Maryland, but now, as before, they
must be patient and confiding. The dead of Sharps
burg, of A tietam, of Shepherdatown, are not
yet buried. Beeps of decomposed bodies are burn
lag in the Cumberland Valley. We have slain the
enemy until' our right arm is weary—we neod a
little rest. Though the Potomac runs blood even
now, and though the soil of Maryland be sprinkled
with the ashes of thousands of our loyal brethren,
yet we will not stay the band of the destroying
angel long. Our great generals have been wound
ed—they aro rapidly improving—in a few days they
will be again in the saddle. Gen. McClellan needs
those able men with him when he advances. Re
needs much more, but he will soon have all that
lie wants. The fall campaign of the Array of tho
Potomac will be a brilliant one—short, sharp, and
decisive. The enemy is marshaling his hosts for a
desperate stand in Virginia, but it is all in vain,
for he will assuredly be dislodged and overthrown.
Conciliation and compromise are east aside now,
and the war is carried on with any and every weapon
which Providence has placed in our hands. Civil
wars are always bloody, but in the future this
will be the .most sanguinary in all his
tory. The saorifice will be as great as
the cause is good. It Is gratifying to know
that Pennsylvania is equal to the emergency, how
ever tremendous it may be in its character, and the
Governdra of all the other great States in oar Union
fittingly chose to meet for an important consulta
tion within her borders last night. The States
they represent will vie with Pennsylvania in their
efforts to crush the rebellion. The President has just
dashed the thunderbolts of Universal freedom upon
the enemy, and yesterday, inn proclamation, he his
given us the anuranee that henceforth traitors at
home shall Lot throw cold water upon our zeal, or
taunt our families at home because their fathers,
sons,_and' brothers have enlisted their energies to
save the — honor
then, renew our efforts, and, like our worthy Pre
sident, let us put our trust in oar young comman
der-in-chief for the great final blow at this hateful
conspiracy to destroy our Government, and all will
yet be Well.
In reading over the details of the late battles in•
Maryland, ,we hove found no regiment more fre
quently commended for its gallant conduct than
the filet Pennsylvania. In the terrible fight of.
Wedneaday, the duty devolved upon it, assisted by
the 51st 'New York, of taking the bridge crossing
the Antietam
.creek—a strong, heavy, stone
structure, fertoidably defended, but necessary to
be possessed before General Burnside could operate
to advantage ugainat the rebels. After a desperate
s ruggle, in which five hundred bravo fellows were
either killed or wounded, the prize was gained.
A correspondent of the Herald spoke in high
praise of the Pennsylvania 51st fer its share in the
action, in which it lost about one hundred and fifty
gallant men. The regiment, we believe, is from
Norristown. It has made a proud record for itself
in the brief Maryland campaign.
THE NEWS.
Br the late news from the South we learn that the
steamer Onto, which ran the blockade of Mobile
on the 4th, was insuillelently maimed ; that her
crew, of sixteen men only, wore incapable of firing
a gun in response to the shots of the Oneida; that
her captain was sick with fever, and, in brief, that
the whole affair was moat disgraceful, and reflects
the utmost discredit upon Commander Preble. The
ship, which was not an iron -clad, was pierced by a
shot from the Oneida. Commander Preble, in his
oflioial report, states that he supposed that the Oveto
was afraid to fire because she had no flag to fight
under, as if that would doter a oraft belonging to
an unrecognized power from defending herself if
she could !

Our Returning Volunteers
His Excellency the Governor takes occasion
to compliment the valor and promptitude of
our militia in publishing his proclamstion for
their discharge. We applaud the sentiments
of the Governor, and join with him in com
mending our bravo follow-eltizens who so gal
lantly rushed to arms when the first note of
danger was sounded. ' The brief and bloodlps
campaign of the militia forms ono of the most
beautiful and inspiring episodes of the war.
A people eminently peaceful and busy in the
pursuits of peace were suddenly alarmed by
the fearful, fact that a great army was upon
their borders, commanded by able generals,
bold and vindictive in their hatred,.and bunk
ing with a desire to desolate Ponniylvania.
There was every indication that an invasion of
our State was the determination of the rebel
hordes, and WO are convinced that, while this
was prevented by the army of Gen. MCCLEL
LAN, nothing but the prompt action of the Go
vernor in calling the people to arms, and their
prompt - response in answering, prevented the
dashing General STUART from endeavoring to
emulate in Pennsylvania the example of Mon -
iIAN in Kentucky.
' We welcome those men back again to homes
they left with such alacrity and spirit. They
have served the State well, and the State will
remember and reward their devotion. They
have shown themselves capable of the higher,
and noblest duties of the citizen, and if danger
should come again, they will be able to meet
and resist it as they have met and resisted it
now. Let them be welcomed as men whom
their country delights to honor.
The Draft
The postponement of the draft to October
seems to be the expression of a-belief that the
people will outnumber their quota, and that
the imminent danger so recently dreaded has
passed away. The Governor states that in
ne-third of the_State the officers are not pre
pared to proceed with the draft. We can very
readily understand how . this is the case. In
cities and populous counties the duties and
interests of the people are so complicated and
multifarious that to make a sudden draft would
be embarrassing, and even distressing. We
have opinions and prejudices to be consulted.
We have to remember that there is a great de
sire in all classes to end the war; that insvl
deuce of this desire thousands are dally enlist
ing. The brief and busy experience of oar
militia and home guards will inspire many hun
dreds of them with a desire to continue their
military service. The end of the harvests
must release a great portfon of the laboring
'agricultural class, and the onthusiasm occa
sioned by the recent victories of the Union
army will call many of our bravo young men
to the standard of the Union.
We are therefore disposed to regard the
postponement of the draft as a very wise pro
vision. We hardly thought so before, but cir
cumstances convince us that it will have. a
good effect upon the enlistments, and materi
ally serve the Union cause.
More Neutrality
The London lkforning Star has a news item
to the effect that of there is upwards of £2,-
000,000 sterling- worth of goods in store and
afloat in Nassau, New Providence, destined
for the Confederates." These goods have
been exported from England, chiefly from
Liverpcol, and it is the duty of our navy to
take care that they never reach their destina
tion. If necessary, our vessels should make
a cordon round the port of Nassau, and pre
vent their being,removed. If the British Go
vernment, which so strictly refused repairs
and coal to the 'United States war-steamer
Tuscarora, while it allowed Messrs. LAIIID to
built and arm the Confederate ':No. 290"
at Birkenhead, were honest in,-enforcing its
own neutrality orders, the Confederates would
bate nothing to depend upon at Nassau.
The President's Proclamation
The proclamation of President Luicovs, as
published to-day, is a necessary and proper
consequencei to his proclamation of Emancipa
tion. After having given the rebellion in the
South the death-blow, he now puts his foot
*viz- Vv.
North shall cease. All offences against the
Republic in the shape of seditigu„trea

the rule of the niilitary power,. and will, be
- tried by martial law. 'This is jest. The time

no more half-way measures—no more half
way mien. "'Whoever is against the country
must suffer for his contumacy and wickedness
in the - most summary manner. We must be
brief with traitors. -
Emancipation
All over the country we hear manifestations
of joy at the President's recent prodlamition.
He has struck the popular heart, and the
people respond gladly. The meeting of the
Governors at Altoona, and their universal
support of the President's policy, shows that
they are right and the people they represent
arc right. Let the country
.strengthen the
bands of the President, and 'show that they
will sustain him in his just ' and righteous
course. •
BUELL has arrived, and Louisville is safe.
The spasm was a bhort one, and it is over.
Cincinnati is safe ; Philadelphia is safe ; Bah
timore is safe; Washington is safe ; not many
days ago they were all menaced by large
armies of the enemy. Now all fears are over ;
confidence has been restored ; the prepara
tions for defence are at an end; business is
resumed, and the people are at peace. , The
tide of rebel victory has turned ; the tide of
Union :victory is flowing. All is well, for the
storm has spent its fury, and the skies are
brightening.
TM; nomination of that accomplished gentle
man, M. RUSSELL TuATER, Esq., as the. Union
candidate for Congress,in the Filth district,:
is one . of those events that deserve recognition
and praise in these days when political parties
are too apt to forget their country and to re
member themselves. If the people of the
Fifth district wish to be represented by a
pure and upright citizen and earnest patriot
they will undoubtedly elect Idr. TuArix.

expreiwed their pare that McClellan would reopen the
battle in the morning.
During that night they never slept. being busily en
gaged in arranging details, leaning instructions
.to their
generals, and throwing reinforcements to' their weak
points. They were so engrossed that the dead and
wounded on the battle field were left alone, and with the
exception of a few officers and 'privates, no one was
busied. '
ROW GLAD TEE REBELS WERE AGAIN TO CROSS
THE POTOMAC
The order to prepare to march lamed in the evening Of
ednesday, was received with mutual eatiafaction
throughout the rebel camp. They thought, from the
inculier position and strength of our army, that this
movement would be a backward one; and they there
fore congratulated themselves, that with the cresting of
the Potomac the troubles which bad followed them in
their It tour" through Maryland would end.
Bitter curses were heaped upon the d—d
as they called it, of Maryland, and those who had
brought them into it. They expeoted to meet the moat
enthrniastic reception, have plvnty of ahem and clothes
provided for them, and eventually establish their winter
Quarters in our bean lint Ohambersburg. But they were
doomed to be disappointed. The reception they met
with dampened their ardor for tr My Maryland. and all
the wearing apparel they procured was very small, con
sidering the quantity needed, while, instead of living
with an army, large in numbers, all winter, in one of the
moat beautiful valleys in the world, they have boen
driven, disorganized and demoralized, to poor old barren
sVirgiola.
now ARE TREF TO FRED THEIR Amor ?
How are the rebels going to feed their army along the
Potemac ? is a question more frequently asked than easily
anawered. Their army le now mostly massed in what is
called the Shenandoah valley—truly one of tho moat pro
ductive valleys In the world; but so many armies have
peened through it, that ft is completely eaten out; an/
what grain wee sown last - ytar, rotted in the field for
want of labor to reap it. As I know by my own expe
rience, it is impassible to quarter a large army there, and
make it anbalst on the surrounding country. The people
have very little for tbemeelvee to eat, let alone a half•
atatved army of fli).000 or 100,100 men.
The only way they can procure provisions from Rich
mond Is by way of the Orhnge and Alexandria Railroad
to Manassas, and then by the Manassas Gap Railroad to
Staltaburg and from thence in wagons to their camp.
To attempt to bring provisions from Staunton an the way
up the valley would be hardly porsible, for the distance
la to long that it would take an immense train moving
continually to and fro to keep them supplied. Bat to
attempt to bring provisions by railroad to htrasburg'
would be far easier for them, but still they, run a groat
risk in having their supplies cut off.
If the report be true that there is no considerable
fore() of rebels between Washington and Manatee's, what
will prevent our sending a large force under an able
general and seizing the Manama Gap Railroad ? The
rebela will either be then forced to retreat up the She
nandoah Valley; or they wlui have to risk another raid
into Maryland or Pennsylvania, in which event, no
matter bow large their army Is. It will surely be cap.
turd.
WHERE . YRII REBELS PRINCIPALLY ARE
The principal part of their army is now massed around
Falling Waters, and Lee's headquarters aro supposed to
be there.
lee chose a strong position, with the hope that He
(Allan would immediately cross and attack him. but
McOlellan has chosen to bide his time, and when he doea
cress, It will be with an army that will sweep all bef tro it.
• Scoutinepartire of cavalry are sent out every day, and
they occasionally fail in with rebel cavalry, and a
"broth " ensues. Our cavalry scarcely comes to with.
art baying several prisoners with them, mostly strag
glers and deserters from the rebel army.
DESERTERS FROM THE REBELS
Speaking of desertion reminds me of the remark made
a day or two ago by a captain of cavalry. He says the
mountains are full of men who have deserted from
the ranks of the rebels. They all invariably state
that they are tired of this war, and that they
have withstood enough hardships, and that they
will not do it any longer. Now, while they are in
a milk• and. hot ey, " country, they intend staying here,
and instoadaf continuing to fight against the country,
they intend taking the oath of ailegianoe, and living
henceforth as peaceable and loyal citizens. One man,
whom I saw on the road from Sharpebarg to-day, being
conducted under guard to boadanarters, presented .a
sorrowful look. Thinking ho was arrested as a spy, I
inquired of him, and he informed mo with tears in his
eyes, that ho was nearly starved to death, and had found
out the wirer of his past course, and was about to cor
rect it by living In the future as a loyal citizen. In reply

iSsedal correepoidence of The Prom]
WILLIAMS£OAT, lIId , September 23, 1662
Whon in after years a complete history of this rebel
lion is written, the events of • the peat week will form a
most interesting page in tkand the froomen of Pennsyl
vania, whose recent unanimons—l ma; say--;mhing to
aims has won for them the plaudits of the nation, will
hear a conspicuous pert.
An iieolent and traitorous fco, flushed with victory,
and suffering the pangs of hunger, cromd their borders,
and with boastful menace, and grim delight, took up the .
march for Pennsylvania, where they thought all would
be Stacey, and none WORM hinder their . pot!iia_.,s 4 l, Bat 19
the trumpet was blown, and ere it echoek bad died
away, the borders of the State and the threatened
points were bristling with the bayonets of freemen, with
sturdy arms and willing hearts, to stand as a wall between
their homes and any one who she Order° attempt to de
eolats them. •
Politics were thrown aside, old riartlatin feeling was for
gotten ; the farmer left his gelds, the judge his court, the
lawyer his forum, the minister his gnipit, the . merchant
closed his store, the braway-flsted mechanic his im
gleinents, and all . ',rushed forward-each township
and borough eager to be the first at the post of danger.
No time was taken to changer clothes, count the
chances of being killed, or how much was to be, lost by
leaving their legitimate buslness, but ell seemed nerved
with the determination that should the traitor foe set one
foot on loyal Pennsylvania, they should be met with
stout reeletance,tand i( welcomed with bloody hands to
hospitable graves." These were the determinations
evinced' by every . ' one of Penneylvaeia's freeman
aathey marched to the capital of their State, and were
transferred in a'ahort time from the peaceable citizen, to
the warlike soldier. No vain boasting escaped their lips,
and Instead of marching with splendid brass bands, and
making as 'much show as possible, they were content with
simple fire and :drum, the same music which their fathers
marched to duringthe Revolutionary struggle.
When I. saw such men aaludgea 'Kelley and Allison,

impressed all who , witnessed it that the old Keystone was

The noblest testimony that could be given to your citi-
Mns is when it lie made known that fifty thousand were
asked, and OTel a , hurdred,thonsand were offered.
Now that their labors are nearly ended, they can re
turn to their homes conicions that they, in a great part,
stopped the tide of invasion, and holniai in a groat deal to
make the work of a veteran army lighter.
When the rebels saw that, : with - IGO,OOO freemen' in

news frcm the seat of war, and the heaviest maim.

to creep into every man's bosom, and ask why bi
bought specie; but the general impression, fertebt
on the Charanter of the buyers, is, that the if.
mend is about ovally divided between those who 91
afraid of paper money, those whd buy far export* 7•a.
poses, and those who have an eye to speculation. .%,
one of these classes of persons are sufficient to foes
