The following or der, relative to ibe death of Senator Dooglas. will be issued to-morrow from the War De partment; Washinotoh, Jono4lb, 18C1. The death of a great statesman, in this hour of peril, can not be regarded otherwise than as a national calamity. Stephen A. Douglas expired in the commercial capital of Illinois, yesterday morning at nine o'clock a representative of the overpowering sentiment enlisted in the cause in which we are engaged a man who nobly discarded party for country a Senator who forgot all paejudices io an earnest desire to serve the Republic a statesman, wbo lately received for the Chief Magistracy of the Union a vote second only to that by which the President was elected, and wbo bad rea son to look forward to a long career of useful ness and honor a patriot who defended with equal zeal and ability the Constitution as it came to os from our fathers, and whose last mission on earth was that of rallying the peo ple of bis own State, Illinois, as one man around the elorious flag of the Union has been called from scene of life and the field of his labor. TbiB Department, recognizing in this loss one common to tbe whole country, end pro foundly sensible of tbe grief it will excite amoog millions of men, hereby advises tbe Colonels of the different regiments to bave this order read to-morrow to their respective reeimeots. and suggests that tbe colors of the Republio bo draped in mourning io honor of tbe illustrious dead.

It Ii a well known fact that Southern men bave even labored nnder the delusion tbat citizens of tbe Northern and Eastern States were deficient io courage, as compared with the South, and that Southern soldiers could readily overwhelm an equal number from the North, In the Sold of battle.

Letcher. The rebels at Mannassas Junction, be thinks, are not over 4,000 or 6,000 io number. He says tbe rebels are aware of and acknowledge their inferiority in point of numbers, and have also been disappointed wilb nnity of action by all classes and parties, with but few exceptioosi in the North, but they are fully impressed with tbe idea that one Southerner in arms is at any time equal to three from tbe North. He thinks, however, that they are sadly deff cient in discipline, an important matter in military strategy. . He confirms the oft re. peated story of intemperance and drunken ness, and a great laxity of mora's in the Southern army. In Virginia there is a great deficiency of arms and equipments, and com. paoies are arming with shot guns and swords. At Harper's Ferry be saw large piles of tbe remains of guns, partially melted, from tbe destruction of tbe armory by fire, to prevent them falling into the bands of tbe Secession ists. Tbe heights arouod Harper's Fetry are bristling with cannon, and are plainly visible from tbe cars. They are eager for fight, and are sure of victory. We are indebted to Mr. Dixon, for a lrfte copy of the "Richmond Daily Whig," from WHIch we take the following extract from an article headed an "Appeal to the Mothers and Wives of Vir ginia." Gen. Scott, it will be seen, comes in for a full ahare of abuse as might be ei peeled.

A man just in from Richmond says be saw Ben..

A largo force of men are at work on the railroad to Manassas Junction, and io a short time it will be in rnnDing order. The railroad battery built for the defence of the workmen on tbe Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti will be taken down to-morrow. After twenty four hours, we may look for the occupation of Manassas Gap. Tbe most reliable ac counts make three thousand men tbere, with strongly fortified entrenchments, and a large number of guoi from tbe Norfolk Navv Yard. Examinations made to-day opon tbe Alex andria and Orange Railroad, for a distance of four miles, show only one small biidge burned, ne tbat can be repaired in three hours. Colonel Piper and a large force of work men from the Pennsylvania Central Railroad are expected bere to-morrow, . to build tbe bridges and make such repairs to tbe road as are necessary. Manassas Gap Junction will be occupied by our troops, within a day or two, but before it is taken tbere will be samo sharp skir mishing, as tbe enemy bave about three thousand men there. It is strongly fortified, and before the rebels flea they will donbtles fire the settlement. Tbe railroad depot at Acquis Creek, and sevu hundred feet of the wharf, wore de stroyed by fire daring tbe attack of tbe L ci ted States vessels, on Saturday, having caught fire from tbe shells. Judge Cutts, and two sons of tbe late Senator Douglas, left for Chicago to day. Tbe friends of Mr. Dooglas bave telegraphed to this city protesting against tbe removal of bis remains to Washington, lie will be buried at Chicago. Geo.

A special despatch to tbe American from WilliainRport says, that it is ascertained that one Virginian was killed, and one badly wounded, during the attempt to carry oil the ferry boat, on Satur day night. Thirty two Union men from Berkley, fled to Williamsport to-day to escape being pressed into the Rebel army, leaving their wives, children and property behind. A number baa also arrived at Hancock from Martiosburg. Tbe excitement agaiost the Rebel Virginians is intense and tbe peopl are armiog in the anticipation of a regular border fight. The Rebel pickets are stationed all along tbe Potomao. A Union man of Berkley, charged with being a spy, was shot oo Saturday. IS" The Milton Company of volunteers passed through this place On Saturday, on ibeir way to Camp Curtin. Tbe company was not full, but additional recruits are expected to join them at Harrisborg. This company bad offered its services several times before they were accepted. tW More Troops A company of volon. teers from Williamsport and parts of compa. nies from Lock Haven and Milton cassed through this place on Thursday morning. On Tnesday about n dozen of recruits from the Bucktail district were stopped bere for want of a pass. Tbey left io the oieht train. jy Tbe Sbamokin Register has again made its appearance, cow nnder tbe auspices of Mr. Bower, formerly of tbe Williamsport Press. Friend John, tbe proprietor, thinks that a paper oogbt to pay at Sbamokin. We have only to say that io times like these it is difficult to make a new paper pay, at any point. We trust Mr. Bower may prove an exception to this rule. aTJrWe learn tbat Charles M. Hall, of Lewisburg, formerly of this place, has received the appointment of Deputy Surveyor of the port at Philadelphia. Mr. Hall was, for a number of years, connected with tbe press, having originally started the Pottsville Mi ning Register, which he conducted with much spirit and ability. He is well qualified for the position, and will make an excellent officer. Horses for toe Armt. A large num ber of horses bave already been purchased for the army, io this State. Our friend Amos E. Kapp, Esq., of Northumberland, has already purchased quite a number, which bave been sent on South. J. K. Davis, of Selinsgrove, has also been purchasing a lot for the same purpose. On Monday last Mr Kapp received another order for large or draught horses. Tbe prices paid are about one hundred to one hundred aod ten dollars for good horses, which are lower now than tbey bave been for many years. VICTORY IN WESTERN VIRGINIA. Rout f 2000 Rebels.

Ketley, consisting of tbe First Virginia volunteers, and tbe other commanded by Col. Crittenden, consisting of the Indiaona volunteers, left Grafton early last night, through a drenching rain, surprised a camp of Rebels 2000 strong, at Philippe, Va., routed tbem completely, killing fifteen and captnriog a large amount of arms, bones, aoionitioo, provision and camp equipage. Tbe surprise was complete, and at last advices tbe United States troops were in bot pursuit of tbe Rebels. Probably vaoy pristner will be taken. O Our Fi.ao. laving proenrod a hand some cut of our national emblem for tbe bead of our columns, we delayed patting out our ag oolil this week. Besides, wben our neighbors of the Democrat flung oat their "big certificate," it was hardly deemed neces sary for any one else, bb tbat Bag was sup posed to embody all tbe patriotism of tbe country, at least so far as the county offices were concerned. From tbat moment tbe country was deemed safe. Treason was laid low, and secession would not dare to rear its bydra bead. True, it was announced that it was presented by tbe ladies, but tbat did not prevent our modest neighbors from claimiog, on account thereof, a sufficient amount of patriotism tbat would last tbem, at least until after the next election. Betides, tbere was some danger tbat tbey might explode from ao excess of patriotism, if not soon -relieved. (3 Dr. R. B. McCor. We ar pleated to bear of tbe appointment of our old friend Dr. R. B. McCoy, of Northumberland, who has been assigned a position io the medical department of tbe regular Army, at Fortress Monroe, in Virginia. He left for the scene of bis future labors on Wednesday morning in excellent health and spirits. To those wbo know Dr. McCoy we need not say that the appoiotmeot is a most excellent one. His abilities and acquirements, which are of a bigb order, are only second to bis modest worth aod unobtrusive manners. These, we pre sume, were not wholly unknown to General Cameron, the Secretary of War, whose dis cernment of merit forms oo small portion of bis generally admitted administrative abilities.

Sweeter far is a meal eaten from a wooden trencher in freedom than from massive gold in chains." The New York Tribune thinks the world cannot show a more arrant sot of liars than oor Southern editors. Perhaps this will ac count for this weakness on the part of Mr. Pnrdy, tbe editor of tbe Semi-Southern Demo, crat, of this place. He has repeatedly charg ed ns with encouraging incendiarism and vio leoce against tbeir establishment, which we bave bb repeatedly denied, and which be knows was a base fabrication. What we bave said is printed and oo record, and no honora ble editor would make, much less repeat, such a charge, without quoting oor language. Why make these sneakiog, cowardly charges, if you bave other evidence of tbeir existence. and can so readily produce it, if true ? You cannot be ignorant of these untruths, aod the meanest individual of tbe "leather party," of which your paper is the accredited organ, will not attempt to sostuin tbem. Your pretended ignorance of these threats are only laughed at bere, and we repeat aod increase oor offer to forfeit One Hundred Dollars, if we do not procure one hundred responsible names to certify to tbe truth of our statement. MR. rURDT, OF THB SIM-CALLED "DEMO- CRAT." W'hen Mr. Pnrdy, of the mis cnlleJ Demo' crat,- was brought from Lewir-borg to this place by a few tradiog politicians, to aid them in their work of dividing aod allotting the County offices among themselves, without consulting tbe people, wa felt Inclined to treat biro at least with courtesy and candor. Wa did not know tb man, nor dp w believe that a dozen men to this place knew of him, or tbe Lewisburg Argn, over which he presided and wbicb, under bis management, eked ont a sickly existence among a people who had no sympathy for a biggoted partisan, or tha contracted views of a selfish and designing politician, With all due deference, w must say tbat be has mistaken bit vocation, and is neither fitted for tbe place or the times. He might do under Gov. Wise, in bis Acco mac district, to Virginia, it ins oojeci or those wbo brought him here, is to control the party more effectually, end to cover tbeir own sins of commission and omission, tbey have been tadlv mistaken. In his mission thus far, be has only succeeded In stirring op strife, discord, and contention. His strong sympathies for tbe rebels of the 8outh, could not be suppressed ; and before b was fully warmed in bis seat, be ontraged all propriety and decency, in volunteering a dofonce of tbat criminal and traitor, Jobn B. Floyd, and his associates, in the robbery of tbe United States Treasury. He next held np tbat corrupt Journalist, Bennet, of the A'eto York Herald, wbo but a few years since advocated tbe eleo. tion of an Abolitionist candidate for tbe Presidency, as a model for Democratic edi tors, and since then, though driven from these positions by public indignation, be lets sljp no opportunity to say something favorable to the South, which may damage tbe North and its offiiccrs. Thus he condemns Gen. Cad walader and bis advisers, for not surrendering Jobn Merryman, tbe rebel traitor wbo is charged witb burning the N. C. Railroad bridges. Perhaps, however, our neighbor does not look upon this war as an act of rebel lion, and imagine that tbe Constitutional exception does tTri apply to traitors. In regard to ourselves, we have ODly to say to Mr. Pnrdy, that we have cooducted tbe American for twenty years in this, our native place, and have, during all that time recoived the encouragement and support of oor best citizens. It is, therefore, extremely absurd not to say presumptuous, in a stranger and adventurer with no hotter antecedents than be possesses, to read lectures to ns, on propri ety. His mean insinuations emanating from a source whose very touch is pollution and corruption, can do 09 no harm, in this com manity, where all tbeso things are known and will be in proper time fully ventilated nor in the place of bis previous residence where some of the most respectable citizens congratulate themselves "in having got rid 0! a nuisance," by bis translation to this place, We might appeal to his partner to show the falsity of his statements, if be bad any manliness in bis nature, but reckless adven turers, in the bands of m ;n still more reckless and corropt, never stop at trifles.

It is also dated tbat Lieut Anderson, of Capt. Kennedy' company, shot one of tbe Virginian on tbe otner side or tne river. Mr. Eotzmioger arrrived at Hagerstowo at noon, bringing all tbe fund of the Wil liamsport Bank tbera for safe keeping. Tbe bells were raog and tbe people called to arm in Hagerstowo, amid tha greatest excitement and alarm, a it wa generally believed tbat Colonel Allen wor.id croew tbe river aod come opon tbe town witb bis force from Falling Waters, distant only eight miles. No one was killed during tb first firing unless it wa tha Virginian (hot by Lieut. Anderson. A disturbance occorred in Cbambersbors last evening, in which a aegro was killed aod three soldiers were seriously wonnded. A negro named Frank Jones lived io Wolfiowo, a mburbof this place, aod kept a kind of email groggery. To tbi place these soldiers went, and asked admission to see any of tbeir comrade were tbere, and take tbem back to camp. Jooes refused them and, after some words, brought out a double barrel shot gun, and hred. Une barrel took effect in the right thigh of one of the men and tbe other in tbe right leg, above the knee of aoother. The names of the men shot Bernard Robbinson, of tbe Twenty fourth Regiment, Company A, and Jobn r ratt, or Company V, Sixth Uegiment. Ibe firing drew a crowd, when Jones tbrew away bis gun, and fled across the fiields, pursued by a large crowd of soldiers. Ibe first bouse be came to wa that of Prosecuting Attorney Eyster, wbicb be rusheed into. Mr. Eyster was away from borne, but Mrs. Eyster immediately seized a revolver aod forbade tbe crowd entrance nntil they promised ttrat ber house should not be overrun, and that they would arrest tbe negro aod not shoot biro. Two men then went in and pulled Jones out of a chimney, where be bad secreted himself, ne was taken out, when some words ensued and be again start ed to ran, wben more than fifty shot were fired at him, and be was ran through witb a sword aod stabbed with a bayonet in several places.

We take the following from the Richmond IVAio, to show bow Seces. sionitts justify their treason : "Surely if there be such a thing as the rigli1 of self-government, for which the seven years' war was fought, these people, thus unanimous in asserting; it, are privileged to enjoy it. But our Yankees brethren tell us, this is a great mis toke ; it is rebellion and treason ; that the only genuine sort of self-government is that which tusi may chooee to dictate to us! Thut are the gentry, who, in virtue of their brute force, are alone invested with the patent right for issuing models of self-government t They raise great armies and threaten us with an overwhelming invasion to coerce ns to enjoy this right of sell government, according to their understanding of it I True, they cover their designs under the pre text, that there is a Union party at the South overawed and oppressed by a tyraniral minority; and they are coming for their deliverance.

J he contest, stnpt of all disguise, is one for freedom on the one hand a despotism on the other. The men of North Carolina and Virginia whose ancestors did as much as any equal number on this Continent to establish onr Inde pence, are too well versed in constitutional gov, ernment and practical liberty to be deluded by words, t hey know the dillerence between government resting on their own consent and a lovernment restinn on Yankee consent.

Tba compa olei will b formed into regiments this week Tm same journal that started out to abuse tbe President es soon as this rash rebellion commenced its attack on Fort Sum ter, are now encnged in denouncing the action of General Cadwalader, in refusing to recognize the writ of habeas corpus in the case of Merriman, tbe Maryland bridge burner. Judge Taney based his decision on the declaration "that the President, under the constitution and law of tbe United States, cannot suspend tbe privilege of tbe writ of habeas corpus, nor aetborize any military officer to do so." The presumption is tbat Geoeral Cadwalader had his iostrac- tions from the Secretary of War how to act case an attempt should be made to release Morriman, and the inference is also fair tbat tbe Geoeral understood tbe following from article I, section 9, of tbe constitution of the United States : Tbe privilege of a writ of habeas corpus shall ont be suspended, uuless when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it." Perhaps the venerable and honorable Ro ger B. Taney was not aware tbat an armed rebellion was threatening tbe peace and order of tbe country, or perhaps be considers the xcesses of tbe secessionists as peaceable and oya. 1 be journals, however, wbo display much lore end wisdom in their discussion of this subject, aod wbo must be regarded as tbey regard themselves, above the possibility of making a mistake or being ignotant as to racts or law, cannot plead this exense. 1 bey know that rebellion was rampant they un- erstood tbe law and tbo constitution but could not resist the opportunity of giving aid and comfort to the enemy. We muBt either 0 this, or tbe allies ot secession in the loyal States mast plead ignorance of tbe law and constitution. Harrisburg Telegraph, (5?

Pity for the South, her boasted chivalry is gone. Not that she is cow ardly, but the miserable cause in which she is en gaged. As for news here, there is nothing that would interest you but the condition and doings of our boys. They are well in first- rate spirits to show it, neither the Principal nor Assistant Surgeon have been to see us since we bave been quartered heie. We have considerable? sport among ourselves. In the eveuing we have music by our "string band," composed of Sergeants Heilhing and Pleasants, and Corporal Wharton, (by the way, Corporal S. U right puts in a lew m nterludes by his jokes,) and it is highly apprecia ted by ihe ladies and citizens of North East. At all our entertainments we are so crowded that we can't keep the "frout scats reserved for ladies and small children." Private Rizer has charge of the Menagerie. In his collection there is an Elephant, an Ostrich, a Cameleopard and a Uiant. The animals arc made by one or two of the boys, with the aid of blankets, and the Gi ant by one of the fellows sitting on the shoulders of another with a biankent covering them. They make a first-rate representation. Un a visit to the town you can hear called by one citi zen to another, "are you going out to-night to hear the music and see tho Elephant 1" I men tion this to show how well the thing is made up, and the liking of the citizens for the amuse ment. You know Kizer's love f the ridiculous, and can imagine how well ho acts his part. There is very little dissension or quarreling in our Company, and you can almost call us a "band of brothers." The officers of the Compa ny are very well liked, especially Capt. Bruner and Lieut. Gobin, and from my own knowledge, if any act of the enemy were done to them, as 'twas to Col. Ellsworth, our boys would act the part of tho Zouaves, and avenge the death of ei ther such is the love of the men for them. In last week's "Gazette," I saw a note of the ar rival of our "big box," and the mention of crack ers in it.

Tbera is a great diBerence in tba reeling, seeminclv. of tbe citizen of Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.

All tba way through Delaware tbera ware similar demonstration of antbu tiasm. Wben we got to Elktoo, Md., a cloud gathered over u which dampened our good honor considerably. Tha people looked dagger at ui, and one of our boy not having tbe cbanca of a pop at a secessionist, took revenge by shooting a dog, saying tbat b would not even "allow a t'scenioolst'i dog to bark at bin."

My indisposition is tbe only apol ogy I shall make for not writing to yoa enoner. 1 am now stationed in carnsie Barracks. This is a beautiful place, quarters cleanly, roomy and comfortable. Upwards of ten thousand soldiers have passed through this place, en route for Cbambersbnrg. Ibe 1st Pennsylvania Uegiment,-Col. xobl, was re-called from Baltimore, and passed through bere last night destination, ChamberBDorg, (I suppose, finally, Harper's Ferry.) This is the Regiment to wbicb I was attached whilst io tbe volunteer service. Four com panies, 80 men each, of tbe 2nd Cavalry, U. e. Army, left this Barracks on Friday last, also for Cbambersburg. Tbe were flue looking men, mounted and well drilled. 350 regulars left bere yesterday for New Mexico. My compaoy, company L, 1st Dragoons, U. S. A., is stationed in California. I expect I shall be ordered tbere in a few months. This day we executed the orders of a court martial, held here a few days ago. Three deserters bad tbe letter D branded on tbeir left bip, were then marched np to a cannon, then stripped of their coat, shirt, &c, and tied haods aod feet to the wheel of the gun carriage, after which thirty lashes, well laid 00 wilb a raw bide, were applied to tbeir bare backs. Tbe flush was much lacerated, and the blood oozed ont quUe freely. They were then marched out oi tbe Karracks, bate beaded, to tbe tone of the rogue's march, played by tbe band. Tbey bare learned tbat tbe "way of tbe transgressor is bard." Although I could shed a tear for a cruelly killed sparrow, I felt no sympathy for tbe deserters. Tbey deserved all tbey got ; yea, a deserter, these times, deserves death, and tbat shall be my vote when I am on a court martial. He that would now shirk from the duties be owe to bis country, is not fit to live under the protection of tbe stars aod stripes, the emblem of our fathers' patriotism. We bave bere about 15 new appointees out of tbe ranks of tba volunteers. Tbey differ materially from tbe cadets of West Point.
