TR'S -WAR,
A nrsEkran from Pensacola, some days sinoo,
published in our columns, apprised the public of
the fact that expeditions wore fitting out at Port •
Ito) al and Pensacola' for important special service,
and by aletter published in to day's_Press we I
have Sortie definite idea of where one of these ex
'Nations is going to strike a blow at tho rebellion,
and perhaps 'while wo are writing thts,.Fertblor::
ion is being bombarded. Admiral•D. G. Farragnt,
the only living embodiment of the
,spirit and 'skill
• of Jones, Hull, and Decatur, is ht command of one
of those armadas, and Admiral Dupont of the
..other, and it ie needless to say that they will
neither of them go, upon i‘ goose chase." We
may as well assume that "'Mobile and Savannah
have fallen, and that American flag will sport
float over Sumpter, and even Charleston itself, or •
•ctver the remains of both. Such diversions, although
'perilous at all times, seem to us eminently proper at
the present moment. In Cif! pessession of these
important points, we gain considerable advantages,
and do the enemy great injury in mail ways—by
cutting off his communication with many pro
ductive parts of his territory, imperilling his
sources of foreign supplies in a manner that no
blockade, however efficient, can, and , paving the
way for exeon!ing the President's emancipation
policy in a most satisfactory manner. A good foot

a retrolgrade Movement on the part of the rebels in
Virginia would be quickly exeamted. In coast
(pence of the present position of affairs in Vir
ginia, our operations on the coast will be.mest Im
portant in effect. Tho rebels in the Valley of the
Shenandoah must_ either retreat pr advance, and
if they do the one or .the !other, as matters new
stand, the work will have to be done with more
than human skill, or nothing but disaster can be
fall them. We, hold the 4, best handle of the
plough, and if the off-horse becomes obstreperous,
we will out the traces when we strike the stump
and send him, heels over head, into the last ditch."
From the Army of the Potomac we have nothing
of imPortsnee ; but there seems to be an intention
on the part of .the enemy to retreat from their
present position, and invade Maryland from
another paint. Friends and enemies alike concede
that, aituated as they now are, they are powerless
to advance. The portion of General MoClellan's
army in Western Maryland is unable to seriously
,threaten -the enemy's present defences; they are
able, however, to keep them in cheek. A column
advanced - frOm Washington is the best means of
driving thean out of the valley and thoroughly de
feating them; and it is more than probable that
General McClellan, with his characteristic skill, has.
already sent a force—possibly in two columns, un
der Sigel and Ileintzelman—upon that mission.
The enemy's rear seems tobe peculiarly vulnerable.
All the bridges constructed by them , across the
Rapidan can be destroyed, and their supplies, or
the greater Part of them, be cut off. We are con
tent, however, to leave these matters to a cora-
Mender in whom we have every confidence.
THE NE WS
GENERAL SIOEL has moved forward toward the
enemy at Warrenton, who are said to be entrench
ing themselves there, and to be rebuilding the
bridge behind them across the Rappahannock.
Large reinforcements have been added to this Teu
tonic army corps, 'and several reasons will stimulate
this gallant commander to distinguish himself by
bold aggressive movements: That the rebels have
been largely reinforted is said to be well known at
the war office. The weather is exeellent for mili
tary operations, the roads are good, and before
Congress assembles we may expect that our armies
will have advanced well into the heart of Dixie,
while our navy will not be a whit behind them in
winning laurels.
BEM GEN. HARNEY, U. S. A., has been sudden
ly ordered: frouCtSt. Louis to' Washington, on im
portant business. He has been dragged from a
"labored privacy," at last, to take a command un

A mon liazaidons surgical operation was suocess-

by Dr' lone
nneley and the Rev. Mr. Bowden. The patient
was a lady of about tvrentyfive years of age, who, . :
for the last two years, has had a tumor forming in
the left breast, which, at the time of operating, at.
fccted the glands under' the arm'to such an extent
tbitt it became necessary to remove three of them.
The tumor was of the scirrhous variety, firmly ad
herent to the fibres of the Eublidjacent muscle.
On being planed under the microscope, the tumor
showed cancerous ce'ls.

OUT of a loyal population of not morethin
150,000; Westein Virginia' has furnished 16,000
volunteers for the war. Considering how many of
the prominent , men of Western Virginia have en-
Hated in the rebel cause, this result is deoidedlY

BY the arrival of the steamer .Matanzas at New
York, we have dates from New Orleans to the 20th
bat On the 18th a large and enthusiastic Union
meeting was held in the Cresoegt city, at which'
Col. A. J. Hamilton, a Union reftigee . from Texas,
made an excellent speech. A full report of the
proceedings will be found in another coltimn.
eLA LETTER from our special correspondent at
Pensacola, Florida, gives some very important
news. •It seems that Admiral Farragut is to ex
hibit his great naval talent once more in the taking
of Mobile. May the victory at Mobile be as great
in every respect as was that of New Orleans ! The
people have reason to pray "God bless our great
and good Admiral Farragut!"
Gutman dour( Pora has sent his first despatch
to General Halleck from the headquarters of the
• Indian expedition, at St. Paul, Minnesota. Re,
says that the gallant Colonel Sibley has recently.
defeated the Sioux Indians at Yellow Medicine,.
Minnesota, and that he is now in pursuit of tie
r ed-ektns.
Oun Harper's Ferry letter contains a fall state
ment of all that is goirg on at present in the Army
of the Potomac, the publication of which will not
be detrimental to the Government interest.
Onn newa from the Southwest indicates a series of
advances to be made against the•rebels in that re
gion shortly. Gen. Sohofield, a man who is pow
erfully in earnest in this war, has taken the field in
person, and will move against Hindman, Rains,
and the guerilla leaders in force, and with good
effect.
Tuts, vefnerable Col. Bonneville has been appointed

would thwart. Its plans or threaten its life,
we often use the phrase c , State machinery."
The term is well enough if it be, confined to a
mere description of the means through which
a State seeks to realize its central idea; but
no single piece of political jugglery has ever'
given birth to wilder theories, or led to falser
conclusions, than the deception bidden in that
Word." machinery," as applied generally to
the function's of Government. We, of all na- I
tions; endeavoring to give political ideas their
freest scope under republican institutions,
.ought most to recognize the fact, that national
life has laws of its own, and on which it is
dependent exclusively for self-formation and
.self -preservation--laws diametrically opposed
to those that regulate the formal workings
.of machinery.
This truth is 811:L 1 1 31 Y' brought home to us
- now, if It never has been before. The vast
movements that are taking Place in our midst,
:striking at the very roots of all our great po
litical interests, make this one tact, at least,
evident: that the progress of a nation consists (
-of an alternate amalgamation of Its compo
utents—sgricultnral, commercial, manufactu
ring, and financial—the concentration of their
united powers on some one point, and a di
vision of them into their old channels. here
we have just rallied and dabbed together all
our means, sinking individnal rights, and
bending the whole energy of the nation to the
single, task of self-Preservation. We have in
this way, and for the time being, - been • com
pressed into a harmonious unit. The great-
nest' of our common danger canceled all per-
sonal prejudices; its imminence - kastetted awl
cemented our combination. We . lave prox

elements. President trecordes proclamation
of Emancipation is the cause of the discord;
itshall also be the touchstone by which we .
may Judge the character of the factors that
have' composed our polillcal intOrmixture.
The danger to our integrity as a nation has
hitherto been our point of convergence; ' . we
have waived everything to reach that point,::
but now we waive no more. The proclama
tion IS a point of divergence. The nation
may be inwe of it; and had better be warned of .
it. Henceforward; sirtho.4tv„oollite

grand national . rally to end: Such a time may
come, in the course of affairs it probably will

27th inst., published in the'city of 'Pottsville,

and integrity no one will challenge,andJr.aoma
R. BOYER, a Douglas Democrat, now a candi
dafe for the Legislature on the. Union ticket
in Schuylkill county. „Mr. lIUGHNS is the'ac
cepted leader of the opposition to .the war and
the Administration hi this State. He is alike
able and industrious in this vocation. His
rooms are now open in Philadelphia, and
his letters and speeches show that his heart
is in the work he has undertaken. His first
appeal to the people of Pennsylvania was de
dicated to the monstrous misrepresentation
that the present war was commenced by , the.
-Abolitionists, and to a deliberate attack upon the
confiscation and other measures necessary to
its vigorous prosecution. Mr. HIJOHES.and
Mr. Wirra, of this city, have lately addressed
the people of Pennsilvapia doubtless in sup:
port of these opinions. • hie 'master *spirit of
the' 80-called Democracy in this State is there--

LEON is the leader in all these movements.
The Palmerston party in England, upon whom
118 is constantly urging the adoption of hie
pidicy towards 'America, agree with him, but
happily that faction is powerleas. The:pra
deuce of the Queen and her sensible advisers
has held the Premier and his friends in check,
and constant assurances have been made the
Federal Government that England would ob..
serve strict neutrality. TlAPoizotes :efforts
:have at .last been • directed to Russia, bat
the court at St. Petersburg has nobly though
gently repelled all his overtures. The Czar has
too lively recollections of America's past
friendships, and too great a fear of that enor..
moos strength which the past year has don
linied, ever to pursue aught else than the policy
iudicated in his official organ—the renewal of
cg .
the cordial relations that exist between the
two countries." The; news of Gen. Pora!s
disasters had reached Etirope,,but there seems
to have been but slight impetus given to , the
efforts of the interventionists. It seems stangei
however, that when England's neutral policy
is indicated so strongly as it is, the various
prints of that nation should still harp upon the
threadbare subject of mediation.

The fact that Gen BuelPs army had reached this city
• has created the opinion that . Braggle rear is unguarded,,
and that be lent liberty to retire via Ranfordville or
Glasgow to Tennessee. To guard against this, General
Buell big placed General Thomas' corps—composed of

Bragg, on the road to Glasgow. There le no doubt
Bragg is in the vicinity of Bardstown. Thomas is mall

this wilt only prolong the strife, and add ,to the dial
cattier of the trouth,,by rousing all the paesions and
what remains of the patriotism of the, Federate This is

than all the eloquence of- an Everett or. the military ,
fame or a Corcoran:: The war, which may now at any
lime come to en end through the. returning good sense
of the Federate, would, probably, became more. deeps'•
rate than over, the chief enemy tieing no longer the
Confederate, but the Britisher. Then the. rooltitude
of men who would be thrown into idleness and want
by the breaking up 'of ,Commercewould add to the mili
tory force of the Federal ifitatee. "If the 'Northern
seacoast wag blockaded," says the Southern paper,
"and the seaport eider tapture.d, ;the: North would
have mere soldiers for her armies, and fewer idlers to
support If the North - was , without a-nary and
out a mercantile marine,
several hundred thousand
men would be disengaged from their accustomed pur
suits, be without -employment, mid - limning with re,
venge and indignation against the enemies who had
thrown them helpless on the world." OA the other
hand;the writer remarks that «it -is chiefly because the
South his been blockaded that she has such
wouderfnl tro - wer. I If 'the Southern blockade
wire raised, half the people would be diverted
fiom the industrial pursuits necessary- for conduct
ing the war to Belling tobacco and cotton and money
making." It may • be; suspected that in the case
of this Southern writer, the grapes of European inter
vention are sour, but, whatever may be. his motive,, he
has uttercd . goon rano on this great question. An armed
interference in the Quarrel would be a fatal mistake for
any European Power. When the South bas expelled the
enemy front its soil, it may be entitled to ask for recog
nition, but its frontiers must be both won end kept by
its own exertions. ''
The London Pinter mays that the Federal Government
is bronpht to the verge of ruin. That word may be used
when the Executive Government of the North to no
longer cafe in its c.rpital. • The Federate fought with more
than courage, with sustained obitinacy, and the loss on
both rides appears to have been terrible. Bat the 0011-
federatea have been skilfully manouvred, and brought
euperiorAtimbers into the field at the /eat moment when
most of the Federal reserves bad been exhausted. Gene
ral Pope was neaten back first on the line of Centreville
and Gaineville, and finally within the very defensive
works of Washington itself. Whether the army can be
pronounced safe, even there, remaining doubtful.
. The article then points to' the increasing aztivlty of
the Eiceseioniste, and their, threatening attitude in Ken
tucky; Louisiana; and elsewhere, and remarks, in con"
elusion, that "if a million ef mon could be brought into
the Federal service, they would not suffice to defend
Washington and keep military iotaeasion of the Border
States alone. " The Americans ere, for the first time,
learning what an appalling ' ventral difficulty may be
created by the magnitude of the Republican territory.
It may be truly said that the nation is punished by what
was its inordinate pride.. The new recruits who are ar
riving at Washington find little to kindle their enthu-
Maim. They will be trained tinder every discourage
ment to take the field as a force half beaten before it
fights. 4e as the Federal prospects are at present, we
can see iitAirmente of better promise in the immediate
future "i•

e, The first actof the confederated mobocracy of Texas
wee to rob the Union—its mother, who had picked it up
out of the wilderness a poor foundling—of all the arms
.and munitions& war in the State, helped by the treachery
of a man who is now no more. This was done even be
fore they had joined the Confederaoy. With the help of
the money they had stolen at the time time, from the
sameemarce, they purchased all the powder'in the State,
and then when the people woke up they found they had
no alms, no powder, nothing to resist with, and so they
were at the mercy of' this unprincipled horde.
to The conseemencos of all this are too apparent to.day.
In all the broaa limits of that State there was no man
who could say he was actually poor. He might have
but a humble home, a little log cable, but ho had plenty.

ELSORRSTOWN, Sept. 28, 1882.
- SIR : I met to-day Dr. B. W. James and Mr. J. S.
Cummings, of the Christian Commission, and Mr. P. D.
of the Corn Exchange, of our city, making ar
iangemente for a special train to convey eighty- seven
wounded of the 118th Pennsylvania Regiment, through to
, Philadelphia From the two former I obtain a full ac
count of the disaster,- they having reached the advanced
lines of the army while the engagement was going on .
across the river, and have been with the wounded men
ever since, laboring arduously for their comfort.
Tao surgeons from Philadelphia, Dr. James and Dr.
Ringsbury, were with the Christian OOLUDIffiIitOII when
they arrived at the neral hospital of Porter's . dirision,
amply supplied with medicines, surgical instruments, and
two boxes of lint and. bandages, prepared by ladies of
our own city.
Their arrival with these articles, at that point and at
that time, was inoet fortunate, as the:regular supplies did
.not arrive until two days;later. These surgeons, at the
desire of Dr. Thomas, surgeon of the regiment, acted in
'conjunction with him iu attending to the wounds of Col.
'l',evost and his men. Arun the Colonel's wound where
the ball entered bad been probed, and every available
mane been made use of to find the ball, his wounds were
tires* and he placed in a comfortable bed. They then
at once set to work operating Upon 4fiad dressing the mono
and were engaged . until after dark, being without food
since an early morning meal.
Many of the wounds received by the men are unite se
vere, being received as they were retiring down a steep
bill after the rebels, in heavy for, had gained the emi
nence which overlooks the river: Some of the men fell
,
down a precipice nearly 60 feet, NgikAnd. were eitb
killed or badly brulied, whlle`many ivire'shot and killed
as they recrossed the Potomac. .•
