THE WAR.
The intense interest recently directed . to the
events upon the Potomac has almost caused the
West to be forgotten. Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-'
sone, Kansas, and the Territories, all have had a
share of the" war, but excepting the Cincinnati and
Mtmfordville emeittes, not a thought seems to
have been given to the wretched state o'f the more
distant country. Hindman and Curtis are still 'co
quetting in Arkansas, and the movements of both
are wrapped in. inexplicable mystery, thmigh we'
have the utmost confidence in the eminent ability of .
General Curtis, who, before the war, and since,
has done so much to benefit his country." General
Grant is closely watohing Price's ragged army
from his camp at Memphis. In Midland,
the same useless mad bat barons guerilla
raids which have so long cursed their beautiful
State continuo. Recently, however, there seems
to have been renewed vigor on the Federal side.
Several of the roving bands of North Missouri have
been attaok'ecl, defeated, and scattered, and one or
two chieftains have voluntarily given up a life Of
plunder and rapine, and surrendered themselves
to honest men . . The martyred State of Kansas is,
beyond all others, ono of whose affairs we are igno
rant. The, telegraph and mails are ominously si
lent. It is to be trusted, however, that the exalted
patriotism whichlias been her greatest boast, still
remains unconquered. John Ross, from the In
dian Territory, pays his court to the President. His
tribe, or at leatt the majority of it, have resisted
ell the wiles of that prince of savages, Albert Pike ,
and the Cherokee nation sets an example of great
honor to those of a more eastern longitude who
claim a higher civilization. 'lho Arkansas poet's
phalanx of savages seems still to be in embryo.
The West at the present writing portends a greater
field than the Potomac. The drama enacted on
the banks of Antietam is closed. May Buell, and
Grant, and Curtis, be equally successful with Mc-
Clellan.
The LoTat GOvernors in Council.
The meeting of the loyal Governors at Al
toona, in this State, has been made the suhject
of characteristic attack and misrepresentation
in certain of the sensation papers, In New
York and elsewhere. What these patriotic
magistrates really did may be ascertained by
reference to their address to President LP:f
ont: yesterday morning. At a moment
when the most indiptrious efforts are made to
mislead, alarm, and divide our people, the ox.
pression of confidence in the President, on
the part of the loyal Governors, and their de
termination to sustain him in all his efforts
to save . the Republic, especially in his
Emancipation Proclamation .to the Seceded
Slates, will produce the best results.
So far from meeting to dictate to
the:: Flderal Executive, their action has
been ;directed to the noble purpose of
btrengthening b;s bands.. And in
. the name
of every loyal citizen, we honor and thank
them for their cheering words and patriotic
suggestions.
But the most injurious and unpardonable of
the fabrications in regard to this Congress of
Governors, is the Lassertion, widely pub
lished and generally believed, that several of
their number attempted to do injustice to
Gen. MoCnErmax, and oven tried to deprive
him of his command. The honored names of
Go'vernor SPRAOUR, of Rhode Island, Gov
enter ANDREW, of Massachusetts, and Govern
or Yains; of Illinois, are deliberately used as
parties to this dark intrigue, and the New York
Herald gloats over the despatch repeating this
story wilt significant exultation—one journal • I
in this city pinting the same accusation, and
another editorially endorsing it. We are now "
authorized to state that nothing against Gene
ral IdoCLELLaa was attemptedatAlteona,A .l
the meeting of the Governors, and.that (iihne
ral FREMONT'S name was only' indirectly
mentioned. Governor CIIILICt Fakit r aftiOk .
ton yesterday afternoon, but Governor. Tort,
of Olft, and.. Governor Priiii , ewe, of Irir
ginia, have both directed us to say that the
whole Story is unfounded and untrue. The
ctinsultation of the magistrates of the loyal
States was entirely harmonious, and ttuir ad.
dress to the President, and his response, prove
that it has been productive of the greatest
vied, and will go far to obliterate all , strife
among the true friends of the Republic. •
Fenosylvanitt Soldiers' Relief Association
'This most efficient organization for the
relief of the wounded, and sick soldiers of
Pennsylvania, located in Washington, has
rendered incalculable service during the last
six mont'As. We have a note from the effi
cient chairmsn of the Finance Commitec of
this society, D. L. EATON, IJsq. , in which
he states that cg about five thousand of the
wounded from the battles of South Moun
tain and Antietam arc already in Washing

General McClellan
Between the men whose especial Wetness it
is to carp at General MeCfmnatt and those
who praise him only because they think he is
distasteful to certain extreme interests, our
viCtorious young General is having a "gay
and happy" time of it. Those who are op
posed to Ncer.s.f.Lax deny him great military
qualifications in the face of his last wonderful
battles, and those who favor him accept the
criticisms of the other class as so many proofs
that the Administration and its friends are his
enemies. Plain facts show, however, that
General Itiecnamax has had in President
LINCOLN a constant supporter and an earnest
friend. It was this faith in MCCLELLAN that
induced the President to stand by him from
the first ; and It gives us great satisfaction to
state that Governor CURTIN has been no less
zealous"and consistent in sustaining the Com
mander of the Army of the Potomac. General
lifeCrErr.sx r although a young man, is a wise
man. Between the partisans who criticise and
underrate him, b and those who land and glorify
him for their own personal ends, he can
readily discriminate. All of his interests are
on the side of the authorities that have given
him their confidence. They have been true
to him, and he will) be true to them. As yet,
he has given ear neither to those who caldly
criticise or falsely,praise him. He has been
singularly reticent and prudent. Great hopes
and greater interests are centred in 6301t0f:
B. lacCrana.str. The interests of his country
and his own just ambition have heretofore
inspired him to confide in the Governnient
which has steadily, earnestly, and generously
• strengthened and protected him. He could
strike a fatal blew at an, imperilled Republic
if he were stimulated by the animosities of
his foes, or seduced by the hollow praise of
his doubtful friends. It there is any min
alive who' can afford to trust to his loyal

The Accident"at Harrisburg.

the sudden nisl violent death, and horrid mn
tilation;of many. brave 14llows who had left
their , homer,•with the alacrity of disin
terested lattiotiam, . in .response to. the
Governor's call. The sickening details will
be found in another column; here we only
wish to mourn the gallant dead, and mourn
with those who are so cruelly bereaved by this
awful calamity. These brothers and neigh
bors have falleu ; many a hearth is made deso
,late in our city and State; but they have fallen
none the less truly in the - country's cause be

incumbent on them as soldiers, anciTAitir airs
for them are stayed by the proud recollection.
We refrain from cri!icism or 'censure. All
due investigation of the accident and its
causes will be made by the proper parties.
Our volunteers—the men who exchange all the
Sweet
. comforts and pleasures of home and of
kindred for the haid,shipa of camp and rude
toil among strangers—must at least be and feel
safe in the hands of the State that summons,
and uses their services.
Meanwhile let us cherish all honor for *the;
dead, extend all comfort to the: wounded, of
fer all the consolation we dol.e to the sorrows
ing bereaved. •
THOSE who stand, by the Government in the.
efforts of the Administration• to preServe it
have a double duty to perforin. They are not
only called upon to strengthen and to de.•
fond the Administration in all its measarga
for a vigorous prosecution of the ,war, but
they must see that the friends of the common,
cause are returned by the people to repreient
them in the. next Congress of the United
States.
_Not so, however, with the enemies of,
the Government and the war. Professedly
loyal, they devote their whole time to partisan
ship. Mere opposition is always irresponsible,
and therefore easy. To cavil at the Adminis
tration, to magnify the blunders of public--
servants, to misrepresent the objects of the
war, to alarm the people with apparitions of a
large debt and heavy taxation—these are
cheap and convenient method's by which to
aid and comfort the common enemy. The
greater the responsibilities of the . true men
who stand by the Government in this hour, the'
more need for self-sacrificing patriotism on
their part, and for sleepless vigilance in de-'
totting and exposing the secret designs, of the.
sympathizers with Secession.
Late Soutnern News
In our second edition of to-day ire present
our readers with highly-important. Southern
news, which we glean from Richniond news

LETTER FROM oceAsioNAL!,
WASHINGTON. Sept. 26, 1862.
he avowed aka of the Brackiaridge
politicians throughout the free States is to
take - the management of the wax from the
bands of the present Administration, and to
conduct it on their own account. This is
their, proclaimed platform. They allege that
Mr. Lincoln and his friends aro unfit for and
unequal to this mighty task. The key-note of
this movement was uttered by Horatio Sey
mour, of New . York, at Albany, on the 10th of
September, before what'was called the Demo
cratic State Convention, which placed that
reckless and shameless politician in nomina
tion for Governor. Re stated that cc the very
character of the Republican organization
makes it incapable of conducting the affairs of
the Government." And you will observe, in
looking over the political field, that the men so
lected t o relieve the Administration in the man
agement of the war aro, with inconsiderable ex
ceptions, men like Seymour, the same who sus
tained the measures which may be said to have
prepared for and precipitated the war. It is
to these men that the destiniei of our great
Republic are to be entrusted. Their triumph
would be the assured destruction of the Union.
When they found that they could not control
the Democratic masses •in 1860, by forcing
them to support the nominees for President
and Vice President of a minority not only of
the Democratle:Natienal Convention, bat of a
minority' of the people, they threatened and
Bowed the Administration, of Mr. Buchanan, I
drove eleven States into secession, and main
tained, North and South, an attitude of deft
ance to the popular will, as pronounced
at the ballot-box in November of 1860,
which was only quieted, so far as the free.
States were concerned, by• the popular up- •
risirg that followed the fall of Fort Sump
ter. Down that hour their hearts and
hands were against their conetry, and from
that time to the present -their loyalty has
been a mere pretence, the polished veneer
that hides their own internal and unquench
able corruption and treason. It is a historical
fact that if the Administration of the Govern
mint has been weakened in this struggle for the
pre ervation of the Republic, those Who have
ss` the the most, if not everything, to weaken
it the very Politicians who now clamor
sgainsteits alleged incapacity and incompe
tency—the :eery leaders who iosist that they,
and they alone, can conduct the war. How
they propose to conduet it wo,may anticipate
by weighing their present professions and
practices. Undoubtedly. their Policy would
be the reverse of that of Mr. Lincoln. Wholly
ident fied with the Southern traitors now
striking at the flag, and almost witeent
exception committed by former associations
and by recent secret correspondence to
• these traitors, 'they would, •of , comae;- •so
conduct the war as to satisfy the - Sehei
eionists. If there was ariy ccvigor "it
would be exhibited in favor-of the rebellion.;
if there was any statesmanship it' would be to
provide for a speedy and a sinuneless peace..
Is it necessary that I should call Your atten
tion to the manner in which these ambitions
leaders administer, the Government under'
James : Buchanan Ido not wonder that they
are diseatistled with Mr. Lincoln's role. lam
not surptised that they should denounce his
earnoat and honest efforts to detect and punish
the cbiet conspirators in this unholy revolt•
t against a good Government. If he is permitted
i to go - on,•those who ObstFuct and mhiripresont
• him will not be perrnitt,xl to resume power. If
he, is
. not broken down, the: rebellion will be
broken-down.. Jefferson Davis is not more
resolute in his oppesition to the American
'Unionthan he is, sincere in wishing . success

. to, the Breckinridge .organization in' the
coming elections in•the free States. Should

firmness with which they stand by the doc

courage with which they resist the energetic
efforts by President Lincoln to exterminate

heart. If we listen to their cries against the

The . 'Meeting of . Governors of the Loyal .
StateS—Their - Interview with the Presi
dent--The Address of the Governors to
the President.,
WA SHISOTOI44 Sept. 26.—The Governors of the follow
kg named States arrived here this morning from Altoona,
nsmeli klateachueetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Wiaeonsin, lowa, rdichigin,
New Rampthire, and Indiana—the le s t na m ed st a t e
being represented by Col. Roes.
Between 12 and 1 o'clock they had an interview of en
official character with the President, and presented an
address, expressing—
First. A. cordial personal and official respect for the,
President.
Second. A determination., under ail circumstances, to,
support add maintain his constitutional authority, and
the Governors therein speaking for themeelves and the
people of their respective States.
Third. Pledging to him their aid in all measures cal
culated to being the war to an early termination, which
should be vigorously prosecutedo ultimate victory, un
less all the rebels shall return' to their constitutional
duty and obedience.
Pourth. Congratulating the President upon his amen
cipalion proclann tion, believing that it will be produc
tive of good as a measure of inetice and sound polky, and
Fifth. Referring to the merits of the soldiers who
have fought our battlea.
The Governors were courteously and kindly received,
and their suggestions listened to with close attention.
It is ascertained, from those who.hod the best oppor-
Walks for knowlag, that there was no proposition made
at the recent conference at Altoona, nor oven, a sugges
tion ventured, touching the removal of General McClel
lan ; nor was any proposition offered or suggestion made
as to the promotion of Fremont to the head of the army,
or to the future disposal of that gentleman.
The address to the President, as agreed to, was written
by Governor Andrew, at the suggestion of the other
Goveruore present. No counter proposition or amend
n eat to the address was submitted. Governor Bradford,
of Maryland, alone, did not sign it, expressing a fear
that the President's proclamation might not prove tie ad
vantageous as the conference hoped, and regarding the
matter too doubtful to j trinity them in taking sides in its .
euPport. .
There was no dispute nor improper warmth of debate
whatever. The conversation was of the most kind, Do.
late, and Conciliatory character, and all present were ani
mated by a cordial spirit of unity iu the support of the
Government and the prosecution of • the war e -the object
of the conference being to exptese to the President their
sentiment and to offer their 'sapper& to him in the fature•
119 in the past, and to make the relations of all loyal rasa
atd States more close, intimate, and firm. All, excepting
Governor Bradford, were heartily convinced of the wis
dom of the proclamation, and were deairous r: expressing
this conviction to the President.
In the conference various details relating to the re
cruiting, organization, equipment, and transportation of
troops were discussed.. The. Governors freely compared
notes, and agreed upon varloas points in this connection,
which they agreed to submit to the President and Secre
tary of War. They did not, however, as to these • mat
tore, put anything in writing, because they did not wish
to appear dictatorial, believing that friendly verbal sug
gestions, in a polite and respectful interview, would give
them effect,eo far aa they might be regarded corrector be
node's'. The care and removal of the sick and wounded,
and the subject of furloughs, etc., attracted a great deal of
attention, the object being to produce reforms which all
felt to beeneeded, to the end of the happiness of families,
the welfare of eoldlere, and the true efficiency of the
army; .to parry out which reforms, should the Govern
ment adopt them, the States will cheerfully co-dperate.
it was unanimously agreed•that furiodhhe should be so
regulated as to prevent ftllure Idioms It was also agreed
to suggest au army of reserve (titer the quota already
celled for disk be filled) of not lees thou' a hundred
thousand merino bo drilled end disciplined at borne, and
to be calledi o ont in easel of sudden exigericy, at stick
points where they may be needed, and to be muttered for
twelve months unless sooner discharged.
lie interview between the President and the Govern
en this afternoon continued for three hears. They all
represent it to have been of a pleasant and gratifying
character. While plainly intimating their eons len°. in
. 21: e p ree id eli v e i n t egr ity and ability, and assuring him
of their determination to support him in the discharge of
his duties, their recenur.endations partcok of the nature
of friendly suggestions. •
Some of the subjects, he said, had already received ex
ecutive consideration, but as ethers had now for the first
time been presented, he requested that they. be reduced
to writing, in order that they mighteneDt with She atten
tion which their importance demands.
The Governors having trammeled their hulloes" with
the President, some`of them left the eity this afterspon
for their respective homes. •
Nsw YORK, Alopt. 26 —There is not the elighteat
. foundation in fact for the rumors of. cer,ain Governors

The Star 'of this evening bee the following items:
Gen. McClellan Mill bad his headquarters near Eiharres
burg yesterday, when Sunnier occupied Bolivar Heights,
Williams (late Banks' corps) the Maryland Heights,
and Burnside's artillery forded the river at Harper's
Ferry. The new pontoon bridge was doubtlees liniehed
last night, atd we believe Burnelde's infantry crossed
upon it Ibis forenoon. Much of the rest of McClellan's
army was yesterday in the immediate vicinity of Wit•
liarneport. ' Our picket' occupy the country in Virginia
three miles out from• Harper's Ferry, where they meet
those of the rebels. The latter are believed to bave but
an inconsiderable force, mere picket guards, near that
poia, and to be in force principally at Wincheeter. It
is evident to us tbat there will be a movement on irto-
Olellan's part so soon as his army is properly supplied by
the Quartermaster's Department, Ac. Our troops are in
the best pomlble spirits, and eager again to get at the
rebels, who must be eutlering dreadful torments ander
the influence of the sharp cold nightsof that region at
this 'B6ll£oll, upon their half-clothed-andled bodies.
Another week of such nights as they experienced there,
doubtless, last Might, will compel them either to attacker
move South, it strikes us.

In view of the fact that ournerorui of our Gans : it'd

Polls to• day for Ohleagti;it' being understood that the

• The Situation over the River.
The rebels are still engaged in rebuilding the railroad
bridge over the Rappahannock river, and occupy War
;Onion with a single regiment. This is the nearest point
19SWashingtonat which they have a force of that size.
en. The fact that they are rebuilding the above men

Contradiction of the Altoona Misrepre
bentation.
The t tories of the New York Herald about the recom
mendations of the loyal Governors in opposition to Gen.
eetn.r.s.N, and support of ERP:310111, made at Altoona,
aro flatly contradicted by the Govertthrs -themselves.
They say that FnEmores name was not even mentioned

Commissioner of Pensions
The Commissioner of Pensions hss made the following
editions' appointmcnts of surgeons under the late act
of Clongreas which authorizes their appointment. Their
duties are to examine and givo cortifmatee of disability
in cases of application for pensions. They are: '
Dr. Damian iticCoos, Pittsburg, Penna.
Dr. A. J. Osstrzszna. Lancaster, Pa.
Dr. EDWARD IRVIN, liollidayebrig, Pa.
The nccersity for these appointments arose from the
resdiness of physicians not bound by an oath or any OM
cial °Missiles to give applioants . for pensions certifi
cates of disability on insufficient grounds. Such care
lessness on -.he part of phreiei ens has resulted in enor
mous frauds being perpetrated since the establishment
of the pension office. .
. To blnotrato the nserniness of these. appointments it la
only near starY to adduce a single example. A few days
agc; thirty-eight applications for pension.s were made ft=
a single locality, each one being accompanied by a regu
lar physician's certificate of disability. One of the newly
appointed surgeon's was sent to investigate these carafe.
ax.d two- thirds of them proved not to bo genuine mutes
of disability. This, alone, Raves some two thousand
dollars annually to the Government.

IRON Gni 'UM'S ARMY,
BALTIMORB, Sept. 26.—A. special despatch, dated near
Sharpitinrg on the 24th, says . : '
Our troops are learning some of the tactics of the
enemy, and, since the rebels were driven over the Po to 'nap
at this point, have kept them awake by reconnoissances
end dashes across the river.
Colonel Warren, commanding the brigade at this
point, sent over a company of the bth New York, who
brought back a fine braes piece. The rebel pickets fell
back as our men advanced, and a drummer of the 6:h
Regiment, whom Colonel Warren S had sent over as a
punishment for nervousness under fire on a previous oc
casion, brought the gun over. An attempt way also
made to biing eff a caisson, but the rebels rallied and
took it Off. . .
A. regimtnt was drawn up on tho canal bank during
the affair, and elute were exchanged, but without serious
retults. Ono man, Bergeint Orowloy, of the 6th, was
wounded in the leg. -
Yebterday afternoon the 62d Pennsylvania Regiment,
Colonel Eiviitzer, with a section of the Ist New York Ar
tillery, attached to Griffin's brigade, crossed the river at
Reynold 6i Lard, belowiflhepherdstown, and brought over
four hundrcd rifles, moat of which are marked !< London,
1882," and one fine 12. pound rifled bran piece, of Eng
lish manufacture.
The affair was accomplished rapidly, and with entire'
success. The rebel pickets fell back as our men ad
vanced without rfeist once. end not' even a shot was ex
changed. These little affairs have an excellent effect
upon the men, and Cheer cheer ins,' as the prize reached
this ride, was hearty and enlivening.
It appears to be well ascertained that the bulkpf the
rebel army still remains along the other branch of the
Potomac. Ail cur reconnoissances find them in strong
force, and the smoke 'of their camp fires can be seen
%wife all the fords. As it is a part of rebel tactics to
show meat activity where they have the least force,
'these manifestations are not to be altogether trusted.
It must be difficult to feed an army , as large as that of
the rebels at a point so far from railroaTcommunicstion.
It is probable that a large portion .)f their force h eve
fallen hack as far as Winchester.
Three or four hundred wounded prisoners left here by
the retell, were yesterday paroled and sent across the
river under a flag of truce. The flag was also used to
agree to a euspension of picket firing, sod the pickets
now walk along the opposite banks of air river without
molestation or fear.

who arrived last evening from the immediate, presence_ of

Of the desnerate andsbloody battle of WodneSday, in

a copy of the despatch

1 1 IL B. DAVIDSON,
Col. P. A. C. 8."
During the day, nothing later was received with refe
rence to, this engagement, except • that passengers who
came by the Central train stated that it was reported at
Staunton that our vict3ry was complete, and the enemy
were terribly slaughtered. The same reports also repre-
sented that we bad captured some font. or Ave thousand
of the enemy. The Yankee force engaged in this fight
crossed the Potomac at toteler'e KM one mile below
filitpherdstovm, end the kilt must therefore have oo
marred iu the immodiato vicinity of that town.
The statement that General Jackson with his corps
re crossed into Dian land, after the battle . of Saturday,
Its barely probable, unless there wan a concerted plan for
a similar more of onr whole force It may be that Ma-
rrland will again be Invaded at an early day, and that
Gen. Jackeen's column is the advance guard of a iiecond
invasion. But in the absence of facts it is idle to specu
late upon what our future movements will be.

Richmond Local News
Ift..ic OP Tanc&.—A. Pederul steamboat has been
lying for several dayi past at Aiken's Landing, on the
James river, awaiting the arrival of paroled *Yankee
prisoners from this city. It leaked out yesterday that
the mission of those in charge of the boat was specially
to convey aw ay Pope's officers, who, under the terms of
the President's proclamation, have been hold in strict
confinement since their capture.
It was 8160 rumored that the Linooln Government had
made a demand on.the constituted authorities of the Con
foderncr for the aurrender of, the parties as pritioners of
war. This was mere rumor, however. If any such
thing as a dentalA was made for them, it was no doubt
accompanied by concessions, and snob a disavowal of
Pepo's lifsmons proclamation as lifted his less guilty
companions and tools out of the difficulty in which they
found themselves involved by hie action. It was de
termined yesterday that Pope's officers should be sent
back.. This announcement will strike the public with
surprise, but no doubt the conclusion arrived at was ma . -
turely considered.
There are ninety.tix of Pope's officers in custody here,
among whom are Brigadier General Henry Prince, 8.

• ALEx.szenale, Sept. 26 —An engine started from Alex
andria yesterday, and proceeded as far as Bristow.
Shortly after arriving there, a train of oars was seen ap
proaching from the other side, but whioh, on becoming
aware of their danger, started back and disappeared.
Eight rebel soldiers were found at Bristow, who had
been stationed there to gnatd and assist in loading the
debris found among the ruins of the trains destroyed at
that place. They were captured and brought down as
prleoners. Sixteen freight 'cars wore also found un
injured at Manassas, with about half a car load of ammu
nition, which had been piled on the ground and covered
with canvas. The rebels, it seems, got the idea started
by some Union 'prisoners that this was an Infernal ma
chine, and so refused to approach It. It was loaded, and
with the care, all brought down to Alexandria. NO
other troops were discovered in the vicinity.
It was ascertained, from good authority, that trains
were ,running regularly night and day to Culpap.r,
bringinij supplies to the eneiiiy, wl ich were conveyed in
wagon(' from that place, by way of Sperryville and Trent
Royal, to,Wincheeter. The Rapidan bridge has been re
