TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1862.
Foreign Notabilia
In the latest received London papers are
some news items worthy of notice. The
speculations in jute, as a substitute for cotton,
had ceased; under a conviction that it would
not answer. It has transpired that, for some
Years, jute has been largely worked up in the
cotton manufacture of Lancashire. Another
substitute is said to have been discovered by a
Mr. Fenton, but the London Mornlng Star
does not think that it or any other article can
answer the purpose.—A correspondence has
appeared.in the London papers on the injury
done to the trade of ;Sheffield by the work
men's crushing efforts to prevent the ap lica
tion of meehanical in relief of human labor.
It is admitted "that the manufacturing world
of . the Continent and America are earnestly
pressing -forward and are availing themselves
of every means to emulate the quality of
Sheffield productions, in some cases success
fully, and in others even excelling Sheffield,"
and that the careful application of mechanical
aids enable Apierican Manufacturers to corn-.
pete with English producers , c in foreign mar
kets, and even in the British colonies, notwitil:
standing having to pay heavy charges and still
heavier import duties upon the Sheffield steel,
from which their goods are manufactured."
This is precisely the result which, for years
past until now, we anticipated from Protec
tion. Where we once imported we now pro
duce.—The Great Exhibition, which was to
have closed on the Isth October, has proved
such an unremunerative speculation that it
Will be kept open until the Ist of November,
iu order to make up the great deficit between
cost and receipts. Even then,,the getters-up
of the scheme will bo from_.£2o,ooo to £25,000
out of pocket by the rarce-show.---The latest
accounts from Italy represent Garibaldi as
utterly penniloas in.his prison at Spezzia, and
that the wound in his leg was in such bid con
dition that amputation was talked of. A Lon
don surgeon of the highest eminence had been
sent to attend Garibaldi, the time for whose
trial has not been fixed, Victor Emmanuel
having refused to sign the decree convoking
the Senate as a high Court of . Juatice.—Tho
German papers amuse their readers with a
story of Prince Alfred, (Queen Victoria's se
cond son,) having broken some trifling rule.of
the naval service, in which he is a midship
man, and being ordered back to his ship by
his mother. The Prince of Wales and his fu
ture bride, Alexandra of Denmark, are on a visit
to Queen Victoria, now in Saxe Coburg.—
The Liverpool Datly Post says : "Another of
the property cases, arising out of Roupel's
forgeries, has made its appearance in the
Court of Chancery. 3lr. Russell Eilicd - is' the
suitor, and he means to contest the forgery."
There are grave doubts whether William
Roupel, to be tried for perjury and forgery,
can be legally convieted. It is urged that the
Judge who heard his self-accusatory evidence
ought to have cautioned him against disclosing
his own guilt. This is fine drawing indeed,
aid will scarcely get Roupel off.----An at
tempt to cultivate tobacco in Australia is about
being made under the patronage of the Go
vernment there.
The Honored Dead of the Corn Exchange
Regiment.
The gallant officers of the Corn Exchange Regi
ment, who fell in the disastrous affair near
Shepherdstown, Virginia, should not bo permitted
to pass away with only the simple announcement
of their untimely fato. No regiment has gone forth
from Philadelphia with better men or better offi
cered than the Corn Exchange, and it is no dig
i•-ee g
voi...m-i , v.-that_those four young
offis whose cer Lives ITOIT 1.0 -.hat - those

Capt. Joseph W. Ricketts was the eldest of the
&lir, though only twenty-live years of age, and was
the eldest Eon of John T. Ricketts, Esq., of this oily.
He was born in Baltimore, but lived in Philadel
phia the greater part of his life. He was educated
at a military school in the State of New York.
During a residence of over two years in St. Louis,
Missouri, be was ider;tifiod with the military of
that place. Coming back to his father's house in
Philadelphia, at the formation of the Gray Re
serves he entered that organisation as a sergeant
in Company D. Soon he was made orderly ser
geant, and afterwards elected a lieutenant of the
same company. His quiet manner and soldierly
deportment won him the respect of all. Upon the
organization of the Cern Exchange Regiment,
(118th P. V.) ho accepted the position of captain of
Company K., andqueceesfully labored to make his
company one of the best in the regiment. Daring
the great, battle of Antietam creek, the 118th was
held in . readiness as part of the reserves, but was
not engaged. The enemy having retreated to Vir
ginia, it was placed in the front, a short distance
from the Potomac, below Shepherdstown. On-Fri
day night, September 19th, fifty men were asked
from the 118th to Resist in taking a battery on the
Virginia side.. A 'hundred and fay volunteered.
The reqizired number, however, was selected, and
Captain Ricketts placed in command of the men
from his regiment. The lamented Capt. Saunders
was second in command, acting as first lieute
nant. Lieut. Horace Binney noted as second
lieutenant. Other officers eager to go, went as pri
vates. The Potomao had to be forded, and the
night being dark, some got beyond their depth.
One man was in imminent danger of being
drowned, when Captain • Ricketts plunged after
him, and conveyed him to a place of safety.
Just before reaching the Virginia shore, the
men were ordered to return,. the advance force,
from the 18th Michigan, having taken . the guns.
The next flay the 118th was ordered across the ri
ver, as the advance of the brigade, under command
of Colonel Barnes. The disastrous fight in which
this regiment, practically unsupported, stood up
so bravely against immensely superior numbers, is
familiar to our readers. The steady courage exhi
bited by these men, only throe weeks from Phila
delphia, has already been recognized by the Com
mander-in-Chief, and by high Confederate officers.
In this brave band Captain Ricketts stood among
the foremost. Having ono of the most exposed
positions, he encouraged his men by his example,
and gallantly cheered them on until he was shot
down at his post. Few officers have been more be
loved by their men than was Captain Ricketts. No
one in the regiment bore a higher reputation for
soldierly ability and purity of private character.
His military life was short, but full of promise. His
comrades cherish his memory with respect and ad
miration, and his many friends in this city who
knew him in his exemplary private life keenly feel
his sad loss. He was one of those cool, calm,
brave, thorough young officers which the country
can illy afford to lose at this time.
Capt. Cortland Saunders was a native of Vir
ginia, and is well known as a eon of Professor E. D.
Saunders, of West Philadelphia. His parents re
moved to Philadelphia when he was about twelve
years of age. He was a young man of unusual
talent and of high religions character. At an early
age hvevinced great aptitude for knowledge, and
read through the entire Greek Bible before he was
twelve years of age. For some time before leaving
his home, he had the entire charge of 'the cele
brated institute established by his father, and it is
his father's testimony that there was no branch of
learning which he, after twenty years of study, was
competent to teach, for whioh his son was not
equally qualified. About eighteen months ago
Capt. Saunders introduced into the institute a
thorough system of military drill, and organized
what aro now well known as the Saunders Cadets.
This was entirely hie own idea. Ten of these ca
dets, thus instructed, are now holding positions in
the army. The institution remains a monument to
tz
his memory. When the recent emend for addi
tional troops came, Capt. flauntpromptly en
tered into the now celebrated Cor change Re
giment. He said be could not ear tivemain a
foreigner from his native State, anNieviig firmly
in the unity of this great republic, he' ftralaxurioue
home, surrounded by all that art and nature could
render attractive, affectioi:ate parents, keenly ap
preciative of the virtues of such an only son, and
a young wife to whom he had but recently been
united, to do battle for the cause of tho Union. A
fine classical eoliolar, his tastes did not forsake him
even in the turmoil and excitement of camp life.
From the banks of the Potomac, a few hours before
hie death, he wrote home : c , My great friend is
Lieutenant Binney. He seems very much at
tached to. me. He sleeps by me at night. We
read Horace and Homer together." Alas ! than
such a life should have been so early lost. He fell
a few hours after, on that fatal bluff, with his
friends and companions in arms. After acting with
great bravery, he was shot through the howl, and
died immediately, leaving behind a reputation un
sullied, and a character as an officer of whioh older
men might well be proud. He was only twenty
one years of ago.

At this point, undir their instructions, the expedition

road in the rear of the hones to cut off the enemy's retreat,
while Colonel Brinton, with only seventy-five men of the

Guided by a scout, who was a captured prisoner, and

THE WAR IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.
Attack on Sutton—Retreat of our Forces
—Rebels in force at Gauley.
[From the Wheeling Intelligence?, Sept. 27.]
WesYON, Sept. 24, 1882.
I write to let your reader a know that the poet of Sutton
has been attacked. Yenterday morning, about sunrise,
a body of one hundred cavalry made their appearance
below the town. Major Witeers, of the 10th Virginia,
who was in command of our forces, immediately ordered
his men, ote company of the 10th Virginia Regiment,
and a mead of twenty-three of Company K, Ist Virginia
cavalry, into the fortifications. They had not boon
there twenty minutes when the rebels made their ap
pearance in the woods, not over three hundred yards
from our, position. They were received by a volley from
our -boys, which soon made them skedaddle in double
quick. So fast did they run, that it was impossible for
the gallant major to intercept them. Ho, however, or
dered the cavalry, under Lieutenant 'Damien (a. brave
and efficient young officer), to follow. Our little gelled
of twenty.tbree ',reseed doss on the beets of the rebels
for about nine miles, when they were reinforced by three
companies under Lieutenant . Colonel Barbour ' of the
rebel regular cavalry, from °lmlay. Seeing this re
inforcement, our brave boys were forced to retire, which
they did without the lose of a man,. and brought into
camp one of the rebels. Major Withers, finding that it
vas impossible to bold his position, fell back to Bull
town, where he arrived this morning. There are now
about five hundred men at that place; and if the com
mand is left, with the gallant Withers, there ne be no
fear for the safety of Weston and Clarksbarg I d f, how
ever, the command ehould fall on some of the officers
now in that part of the country, God only knows what
the constqcnnoes may be.
Our scours report a very large force at Ganley, and we
are of the opinion that sharp times may be looked for in

the railroad is of such importance that small towns and
stations which appear se of no use guarding must have
large forces to protect them. Ftill Gen. Kelley to doing
all be can for us. and all soldiers and citizens, with but
one exception, who belongs to the former class, and who
no doubt thinks he ought to Do a brigadier, are eatialleir
with him. Still, If we could have rein forcements we
would feel safer. I think in a day or two we shall have
o nice little skirmish at Bulltown.

energy into the•conduct of the war.
The address to the President, which Goy. Andrew
drafted, was changed very little in phraseology by those
to whom it was submitted; and every change made was
for the purpose of strengthening its. language. That
part of it which deals with the President's proclamation
is expressed. and was intended to be expressed . in the
Strongest acentric+ terms, and no one spoke more strongly
in favor of the proclamation than Gov. Tod, of Ohio, a,
Democrat, and Gov. Pierpont, of Virginia, a Bordef

his State would welcome it as a terrible blow to the

The Governors were also a unit as regards the support

Ameng those a ho discussed his Qualifications+ wore doubt
less Governors Andrew and Sprague, as' stated, but Gov.
Eirkerecd, of lowa,.gives na permission to state that the
strongest remark made against General MOOIBIIBII wee
his own, to the effect that be had done wrong in allow
ing bad men and bad newspapers, who were sympathi
zeta with the rebels, and were noicg all in their power to
he'p the rebellion to success, to be his peculiar eham
;dote, although he knew that ten words from his lips
wculd send them to hell, where they belong."
As we tot mised In the paragraph telegraphed you last
night, the Governors had much to say in the: course of
their meeting concerning the filling up of the old regi
ments. They agreed among themselves to do everthiug
that lay In their power to filt them up, but axed upon no
particular plan for doing it. Sone were in favor of core
tinning ar d Confining bounties to those who enlisted for
theold regiments until they should all be titled, and
others favored a different plan. It was understood that
each would exert himself in his own State to achieve the
desired end in his own way. It was admitted that there.
was serious practical difficulties to be overcome, but it
was resolved that every exertion should be made to over
come them.
The Governer! went so far se to agree informally that
thty would heartily cooperate in carryieg out a con.
eeription act framed for the purpose of Oleg up the old
regiment!, if Congress should pass one. Their expres
sions on this subject were so strong that It is clear that
these who delay to enforce the draft to supply the troops
called for do so, from necessity and not from choice.
There was also a conversation about Governor Cur
tin's plan of having the wounded and sick soldiers sent
to the several States from Which they came, whore prac
ticable ; about an ambulance corps, and other Measures
to stomote the comfort of the soldiers; In a word, upon
all questions arising out of the war and its conduct, both
of small and great moment, there was a thorough inter
change of •olinionn, and the greatest harmony of eenti
scent.
The Governors expressed themselves, says Ike Tri
bune's correspondent, as strongly opposed to any attempt
at military usurpation, by any general or civilian whom
soever, and that, in order to give no pretext to, or op
portunity for, illegitimate proceedings, the President
should be sustained in all things done by him legitimately
in the exercise of his functions.
To day, at twelve o'clock, the following Governors
called upon the President: Messrs. Salomon, of Wiscon
sin; Eirkwood, of lowa ; Blair, cf blichigan ; laths, of
Illinois;' Tod, of Ohio ; Ourtim of Pennsylvania; Pier-
Pont, of Virginia; Andrew, of Massachusetts; Berry, of
New Baropshire ; Sprague, of Iltiode Island; Gov. Mor
ton, of Indiana, was present by proxy:" Govs. Olden, of
New Jerseva Bradford, of Maryland, and Washburn.,
of Maine, werepresent at Altoona, but went home after
ward. Gov. Bradford arrived tonight.
The President's reply wee brief, and consisted of
thanks to the 40,81110113 for alt they bad done and for
all they had promised to do to help the General Govern
ment in this great mitts. as to the proclamation, he
said no fact had merited him to thoroughly of the juatice
e•f the conclueloti at which he had arrived as that the
Executives of the loyal States gave it their hearty au
ra °batten. As to the suggestions which they had made
in the addrots jot read, be was grateful for them all,
but at that moment ,he would not answer them specifi
cally, although he could say that he would give them his
moat favorable conidderation, and believed be should
carry moat, it not all, of them out, so far as possible.
after.these formal proceedings had ended, an informal
conversation followed, lasting for two or throe hours,
running over a great many topics, in' which the greatest
harmony prevailed among all those in attendance.
TRAIN STOPPED BY FIRE.—A day or tw3 ago a
train of care on the Cleveland Railroad was stopped for
almost one bout and a talf, between Ravenna and At
water, by a fire consuming the immense piles of railroad
fire wood piled up by the side of the traok. About six ,
hundred cords were burned, and when the care arrived
the whole track was covered with lire. The train waited

CHANCES or melon COMPLICATIONS WITH ENGLAND
AND FRANCE—NAPOLEON'S TROOPS IN MEXICO
MAT OPERATE IN AMERICAN DIFFICULTIES.
[Paris (Sept. 16) corroipondenco of the London Times.]
In the way of news from America, we bear thanthe
Alabama, Confederate man-of war, the departure of
which from Liverpool was lately noticed, has by this
time arrived out at the Bahamas, where she was to be
met, it is said, by another Confederate armed steamer,
which would place herself under the alders of the Ala
bama's coma' sudtr, the renowned Captain Spatulas.
These twoineamers, it is considered, will be amply sof&
debt to give an account of the Federal cruisers which
have been allowed literally to blockade Neseate So we
may expect soon to have the accounts of the war varied
by details of an action at sea.
It is further stated to-day, that French cruisers in the
Golf of Mexico, on the lookout for Mexican vessels, have
captured some Federal craft, which, it. is thought, may
lead to complications. Another itcident which, if con
ihmed—and it reaches me from good authority—is not
likely to improve the state of feeling between the cabinets
of Washington and Parte, is the discovery(' thirty thou
sand muskets having been sent front CatVoraia to
Mexico, with, it is positively affirmed, a sons of money in
addition. There is said to be satisfactory proof forth
coming that the arms and specie proceeded from the
Federal Government, and not from individuals. Finally,
a Paris paper, noticing the arrival at Biarritz of M. de
Chasaeloup Lanbat, Minister of Marine, says that his
vied to the Emperor is in connection with the Mexican
expeditiort,"which will, it is stated, be raised to sixty
thousand men, including the Lorencee division." With
out fixing an exact number, there is reason to believe
that the number of the troops sent to Mexico (or pos
sibly in the first instance to the French West India
Islands), will be considerably larger than was quite lately
Expected.
Yon bad details of about twenty -seven thousand pro
ceeding from different French and Algerine ports. The
numbers of the Lorencez division are difficult to &goer
fain, as we have no correct account of the casualties by
disease, nc • but with the small reinforcements previous
ly sent him ,i and the marines, ac., at Vora One, we
must suppose net less than live thousand or six thousand
men. We now bear-of a further and considerable ship
ment as ordered, end of another as contemplated, and,
ibould Gila last intelligence be verified, it is not impro
bable that, including soldiers of all descriptions, matinee,
naval brigade (which might at any time bo formed, since
the men-of-war will have little for their crews to do, and
could easily spare sailors), and some indigenous corps it
is supposed to form, the French force would not be has
titan that stated in the Paris jounml already quoted. Of
coitus, if it prove to be thus, many persons will be hard
to per evade that rath an expedition, se much larger than
it necessary to accomplish French objects in Mexico, has
not been formed also with a view to future eventualities
- I or contingencies in the Anglo- American conflict.

Report of the Christian Commission of
Philadelphia.
George R. Stuart, Req., chairman of the Christian*
Commission—fd.y Dear Sir: At your request. in behalf,
of the Ohrletian Con mission, I present YOU a brief state..
ment, so far as it relates to the ricent disaster of the)
Corn Bxchange Regiment, on the Virginia side of the
Potomac, on the morning of Saturday, 20th inst.,.and ,
more especially of my visit to the battle-held on the day
knowing the conflict. It may be proper to state that the
force engaged in that battle was made up of the remain
lug strength of the 18th and 220 Massachusetts, 24 Maine,,
18th and 28th Now York, ist ldtchigan, and the e
118th Pennsylvania Regiment (Corn Exchange). The,
numerical strength of the latter was about equal to the
whole of ' the former. named regiments.
The wounded of the 118th were brought to the hospi
tals, keeled about a mile. distant from the field, where
the services of the surgeons were brought immediately
into requisition.
The exertions of Doctorealegebtry and Tames, of the
Commission, were at this period most effective and tims
ly. The wounded continued to be brought in during the
day, and every effort wee made to make them as comfort
able as the crowded state of the hospitals would admit.
On Sunday morning the members of the Commission
learned that there were still a number of the wounded on'
the field. They felt that no time should be lost,
and no efforts should be wanting on their part to have
them Cared for. titter acme consultation it was oeter
mined to go down to the river and ascertain, if possible,
the facts In the case, and the prospect of crossing in view
of the danger Involved. We were accompanied by the'
surgeon of the brigade and the surgeon of the regiment.
Upon arriving at the river we found some Six or saran.
mon scattered about, very badly wounded, and also seve
rill dead bodies. Raving administered stimulants to the:
wounded, we bad them sent immediately to the hospitals.
Whilst there we were Informed by some members of
the regiment that these wounded had just been brought
over, and that there was no danger in crossing, and,
besides, the rebels were three ranee distant from the
shore.
At ale juncture I was separated from the other mem
bers of the Commission by Riving attention to tho dead'
for the purpoee of identification. Of the wounded lying
on thie aide of the river were:
Rphraim Layan, tomp I, No. 937 Darien street,
wounded in rig side. His brother Mired, unhurt, was
with him.
Chancellor Benjamin, No. 2089 Winter street, ball in,
thigh.
Peter Brophey,'Relleysville, wounded in both arms.
Richard Allen, Penn street, Frankford, wounded in
thish.
PoteriPaitenheimer, Company 11, Boxborough, wound
ed in knee by a shell.
William H. Hirst, No. 1541 South street, wounded
badly in the knee.
Montgomery , •
Thomas J. Neel, 631 Carpenter Arcot.
Of two other bodies on the Maryland aide I could learn'
nothing. I then determined to cross the river at the
dam, as two or three others had preceded me. One of .
Ciao was a lieutenant of the regiment. it was enough to
know that wounded men had been lying there helpless.'
since Saturday morning.
On the dam i. toned the body of Benjamin Ashman,.
Paletborp street, below Diamond. Took from his pocket'
an article of use, which will be handed to his friends. •
Henry tlmigh, Company If, Sergeant atreet above.
Coral, 'wounded and fell over the data.
Another body lay on the dam, but failed to identify it.'
One man was seen ebot whilst creasing, and reliever.'
Another fell over wounded whilst cruising, The bodies,
of th ese were carried away by the current.
After reaching the Virginia tide, about twenty yards
.from the dam, and on the brink of the river, I came to
the'arch so often referred to, where four of our men took
refuge frem the fire of the enemy above them, only to'
be killed by their comrades from the Maryland aide,
where a battery of three guns was stationed! Here
found three poor fellows who were fired upon, as stated,'
and had Crawled a few yards from the arch, where their:
bodies were found. These were:
Henry Knob, Company B, Webb street,lielow
water. Face blown off. An article, was taten from
his pocket to be banded to his friends. Hie identity was
made known to me by Marshall Craig, of No. 1625 Ship
pen street. They had been associated together in is;
Bible clots connected with the Tabor . Sabbath School. ;
James Fletcher, Company li, Second street, below
German.
Thomas K. Johnson, Co 11, No. 1315 Olive street
The fourth was Lieut. Smith, eon of Solomon Smith,.
of this city. He was wounded in the left hand, and.
escaped with his life by being covered In the arch by the
bodies of the three lest named.
Further on, and on the brink of the river, were fonnd;
the bcdies orporal Samuel Green,
Co F, Oy brs Mar- .
tin, Co. F, of Kensington, Charles Zimmerman, Co. K r
Callowhill street, near Thirteenth.
John N. Kramer, Co. E. The name of this man wan,
forted written on the inside of his waist belt ; an article
was taker; from hie pocket for his friends.
Win. Edwards, Co 0, received a ball in his side. TOokt
from his pocket a cepy of the " Soldier's Friend," and a.
letter from his wife, Nellie le, and a needle-case.
A re ivate,name unknown, about twenty-three:
years of age. A Testament taken from his pocket, -
" parented by the . Philadelphia Corn Exchange."
A seegeant, name unktown, about forty years of age
goatee and dandy whiskers.
Having now reached the ravine where the regiment
amended the bluff, I found the bodies of Captain Bloke °
ette, Captain Bolinder", Lieutenant Moss, and Privates:
William N. hinters. These bodies were , about being
conveyed across the river, when a squad of rebel cavalry
rode np and entered into a conversation with a lieutenant'
of the regiment, who was present, exprecsiug doubt as:
to the validity of the flag of true, as no report of it had
been made at headquarters. They remarked, finally,
that General Lee's orders were ~ t hat the deed and
wounded on the left of tbo ravine might be cared for,
but no advance should be made on the right, in the di..
realm of Shepherdstown." It was generally believed
that twenty. flee hundred wounded rebels were at Shop
herdstonn.
Ascending the ravine, I found the body of a private of
Company F, supposed to be Samuel Phillips, as a ether
from his wife Margaret, dated Chester,
September I, was
found on his person. On the top of the bluff, and for
acme distance on the field extending from the bluff, dead
bodies were bine in every direction. The facts obtaine d .
respectirg them will be communicated to the parties.
most lutist ested.
Wm. McGarrigel, of Company I, was found on the
Hoff. A smell book, which had been need as a diary,
was found in his pocket. The last record made was on
the 19th, the day previous to the battle.
Charles Y. Rea, Company E, identified by name writ
ten-uiriecias ef_ his waist- belt.
James Burns, Company-0, Slas wounded in the arm
and retired to the rear, end had it bound- up, when he
returned to renew the contest, and in a few moment( •
afterwards was shot and fell dead.
Many other facts (the result of seven hours' labor)
have been recorded for the information of the friends of.
these brave men, but 'without extending this statement
to an immoderate length, I may add that sir wounded'
Men were found on the bluff, who were safely brought
over. Among them was Edward Mithan. No. 1213 Par
rish le reet, who was robbed by a squad of rebels of his
MCMY and many articles of clothing, on Saturday oven
it g. They told him that be should have remained on
his own roil. They bed tried the experiment of carrying
the war into Maryland, but found it a failure, hey
were now Koine to cal:dine theuttelvee to their own States.
Joseph B. Tibbins, of Company A, of Frankford, was
brought over on Tuesday, bavipg been three days taken
care of by come rebels from N'orth Carolina. They de
precated the war, end exprested a strong dtsire to be
taken as prisoners, that they might get into the Union
lines. -
The statement, as you perceive, relates entirely to the
Corn Exchange Begiment, baying no reference to the
efforts of the Commission among the wounded in the hose
;hale for the period of six or seven days.
Of many who were unremittingly engaged in thee*
humane efforts were Dn. liingsunry and James, fire_
Messrs. Torrence, Pervie, and Brinehuret, Captain Wil
ileum. and Meters. Duff, Neff, and Merton
The supplies, as well as a large lot of clothing brought
on by the ;committee of the Corn Exchenge, in addition
to their unremitting efforts during their stay among the
oueded, were most timely and effective.
Yenta, truly, J. S.

BRIGADIER GENERAL TIIRLPS.—This officer, '
who resigned his position at New Orleans, under General
Roller, has published a lengthy card in the Tribune, in
defence of his conduct on the contraband question. lie
concludes that: "it is evident to me, from a long period .
of service in the Southwest, that a decided course of
policy is necessary on the part of our Government, and
that tbat Tolley should be the immediate and uncondi
tional abolition of slavery. It is an evil of the worst
hind, a standing rebellion against tree institutions. No
elavebolder, as (inch, can be loyal to a free government.
The present crisis is a veritable' revolution which must
tither revolutionize I've men out of their habits of free
ern), or tiaveholders out of their habits of slavery."
WHO ABB THE PATRIOTS.—The Scranton (Pa )
Republican eays : The relative patriotism of Itepabli
ran and Democratic editors was pretty well exhibited by
the manner in which they responded to the Governor's
recent cell for volunteers to defend the State. While
the former enrolled their names and sprang with alacrity
into the ranks, the latter, with a few rare exception!,
kept aloof from all military organizations, and mani
feittd no disposition to aid in repeliing the apprehended
anvation of the old Keystone Stonewall Jackson
nd his ragged followers. Miner, of the Wilkesbarre
Record; Richert, of the Pittston Gazette; the editor
of this paper ; Goodrich, of the Bradford Reporter. ; one
of the editors of the Bradford Argus, and many others
whose names we might mention, joined the volunteers
who rushed to the borders ; but only two of all the
Democratic editors, whose papers we receive at this of
fice, responded to the call and shouldered a gun for the
State's defence.
THE OBJECT OF Ill& GOVNIIDIORS' DINETING.
—A special despatch to the Tribune says " It is re- ,
Ported, we know not open how good authority, that the
President intends to inane orders for an additional draft,
t o or d e r to bring the number of men in the field mite a
million. If this be so, it is for the Governors of the loyal
disks to say whether these orders shall be execrated an.
cording to their toner. It is the Governors who have
delayed the enforcement of the previous draft, and they
alone can make orders of, this description effectual. Upon.
there, too, rests the responsibility or taking measures 10
fill op the old regiments. It is believed that both these•
matters have been under consideration in the Convention
of Governors at Altoona."
