Soldiers of the Mississippi ArmvtAg re,
ably to orders Ibis day received, 1 take leave
of yoa. Oar army bat been of sodden growth,
and we have grown op together, aod 1 have
become familiar with tbe brave and generous
spirits which yoa bring to the defence of your

you bave already before yoa, and let me

etoldiers, I regret to leave yoa most sin
cerely. I thank yon for tbe regard and

Tbe feeling was intensely high during tbe
whole of last evening, and there were- meet'
logs held almost everywhere. The various
bands serenaded tbe General, end wbenevei
he appeared he was greeted with cheers.
Though notifying Geo. tlonter, as bis orders
directed, that be had oo longer command over
the troops, Gen. Fremont spent several hours
In making a persoual examination of tbe
it round about tbe city to be prepared for a
battle, and, in accordance with a written
request of all the Brigadier-Generals here, he
remained in Missouri through tbe night,
ready to lead the army in case of nttacK.
All the troops slept on their arms, and
niBny officers remained at tbeir posts all night,
on attack being hourly expected : but ootbiug
occurred more than tbe firing on our pickets
on two dmerent roads. I he enemy are now
encamped on tho old Wilson's Creak battle
ground.
General Fremont Is prepared to leave for
bt. L,ouir aod will go as soon as ueneral
Pope arrives, the latter having been sent
forward to take command till General Hunter
sets hers.
Uciversal gloom prevails throughout the
camp. A battle will undoubtedly occur ere
long. The troops will meet tbe enemy firmly,
but tbey are disheartened aod have lost tbeir
enthusiasm. The body guard, who could not
be induced to remain, and who will now
diebaud, as tbe terms of their enlistment
permit, will accompany General Fremont and
his entire staff, including General Asbotb,
Commander or toe First Division.
General Fremont will permit no demon
tration from tbe troops on his departure.

when be speaks of the patriotism and proud
position of I tie old Keystone Stale, in this great,

never listened to him with greater pleasure than
at this time, when speaking of numerous facts

The Secretary of War and the Secretary
of tbe Treasury arrived in this oity on Satur

to tb Journey of Geo. Scott, and mad that
tb occasion of a demonstration of personal

ry power of tbe nation from eighteen thousand
men to half a million, are at last recognized
by tbe conntry, and will soon be matter of
history. At tb age of 63, and in the posse
sioo of an ample fortune acquired in business
enterprises, tbe Secretary took charge of tbe
War Department at a time when its duties
were more bordeosome than ever rested npon
any War Minister of France-io the years of
ber greatest Struggles, whether under tbe
Republio or under tbe Empire. The National
impatience has demanded impossibilities
Wbeo tbe magnitude of tbe contest we are
engaged in has been appreciated by the
Eeople, and their determination to succeed
as settled iiilo an in inflexible moral princi
ple, justice will be done to Simoo Cameron'
administration of bis enormous trust.
C3T Thr Blockade. The London Timet
bas changed its tone in regard to the interfer.
ence of England in tbe blockade of the South,
ern ports. The Timet cornel to lb wise con
elusion that England has no right to interfere
We take tbe following extract from a leading
article in th Times, on this subject:
"It is no part of our duty to interfere in this
unrighteous quarrel, and we feel sure tha
England would rather Undergo much soflering
than to break through tbe plain roles or loter
national law. Ilavinc recoeroized tbe Coufed
erates as belligerents, we ore bound by laws
wbich admit of no doubt or debate to respect
tbe blockade which tbe Northern States have
established. This blockade has been duly no.
tibed, it bas ulready been acknowledged by
our Government, and been submitted to by
our naval oQicers on the station. To break it
io any way would be an act of war against the
Government of tbe United States, and any
hostilities which might follow would consti
tote au nnjust wur on our part, which, wbsL
ever us ipbup, would stain toe reputation o
this country, and expose os to the lust re.
proach of tbe Americaos in after times. Such
acta we feel sure, England will not commi
even to save bur great manufactures. When
ever tbe Northerners have established au ef
fectual blockade they will be free to keep it op
without interference on our part."
Ci Tub Latest News Tbe election in
Baltimore bus declared for tbe Union candi
date by 16,000 majority. The Union major
ty in the State is immense.
From Missouri we have a rumor that Geo.
McClellan has suspended tbe order for Fre
mont's removul. Tbe rebel army was advan
cing toward Springfield, and a taattle was im
minent. General Fremont bad prepared a
plan of battle after consullutiou with hia offi
cers, ond on being superseded bad given it
witb full explanations to Generul Hunter,
who, with Pope had arrived and assumed th9
command. Tbe whole of Fremont's army
had arrived at Springfield except Hunter's
division, 9,750 men, and the force therefore
fur battle wue, with the brigades of Lane and
Stargis, 32,839 strong.
O" General McClellan in bis reply to the
Pennsylvanians wbo presented him a sword,
says that "the war cannot be long, though
it may be desperate."
General McClellan has at least one indica
tion of merit, and tbat is modesty. He
admits tbat be bas not yet been tried ; be
advises tbat tbe honor aod rewards iuteoded
for him should be reserved until after events

atROWINO DISCONTENT IN THE SOUTH. I
Th following extracts from the Riehm mil
H'ai'v, is doubtless as sincere a it ts truthful-
It clearly show wAoi wa expected when
Virginia so suddenly throw herself into lb
rsoks of the rebellion and mad ber treason
mot wicked than evea Bouth Carolioa. The,
"long war," and Virginia thus far lb princi
pal battle ground, is beginning to smell in tb
nostril of th editor of this hitherto ifluen-
tial journal. Hear it t
"All th indications point to a long war.
At on time w bad boned that the dash -tb
clan of onr volunteer unrestrained, bat sim
ply gnided by able generals, would bave
planted our banners, belor frost in tha heart
of tb enemy' conntry and conquered aa
honorable peace. But a different policy ba
provided. W of tb sooth, wbo wer to
attack, bave adopted a - system of defeoce,
and so far, hav uniformly awaited tbe ad
vene or tbe roe. I bis may be the safer po
licy, but wa bave never been able to appre
ciate it. Our eouvictioo is that a victorious
advaoca into tb enemy's country is th only
road to a lasting ana hooorable peace, w
must fight, and wa must conquer, before we
cao make a treaty. If w cannot do this, w
must submit tn tb fata of lb weaker party.
Tbe enemy hav dominion over tbe sea ; be
can assail a at almost innumerable poiota :
be can plunder onr coast and penetrate our
river, lie is supreme io tb Chesapeake
bay; be cchnmaod th Potomac) be has
possession tf Maryland, of northwestern Vir
eiuia, and is contending for Missouri and
Kentucky. VV bile be threatens our whole
coast, he may assail us at any point of nor
xtendedfrontier. This whole situation must
be altered before we can bave peace on any
terms compaiiuie wun nooor aod ealety .
"We bave never beard of any plan eoe
gested fur effecting this desirable alteration
short of carrying tbe war into tbe eoemv's
country. While we stand oo the defensive,
and tbe enemy is entrenched this side of tbe
Potomac, it is impossible for os to destroy
bis supremacy at sea or prevent bis predatory
incursions on our coast. Wa are subjected
to all the disadvantages of a defensive war
of indefinite duration, or to a peace dictated
by tbe enemy. Tbe possibility of oar success

Mct'LfcXL.AM AND BfcAL'KEGARU
Mr. Kusselt, iu a letter to the London
Timet, dated Washington, October 7, speaks
tbut of tho commander of the two contending
armies oa the Potomac :
"When I had the pleasure of conversing
witb Ueoeral McClellan for the first time ba
aeked me several qnerlinns, with evident inter-
est and friendly curiosity nut unusual on tba
part of lieut-ruls in reference to tbeir aotago
nists respecting Ueneral Beauregard
bis case there was all the more reason for such
inquiries, in tbe fact that tbey were old tello
sludeot and class mates. To my mind there
issometuing or resemblance between the men
Both are below tbe middle height. Tbey are
both squarely built, aud fumed for muscular
power since their college days. Beauregard,
indeed, is lean end thin-ribbed ; McClellan is
full aud ronnd, with a Napoleonic tendency to
embonpoint, subdued by incessunt exercise.
neaoregard sleeps little ; McClellan s temper
ament requires a full share af rest; both are
spare aod Spartan in diet, studious and qniet.
Ueauregard is rather enlorniue, and, if not
meliint'bolip, is of grim gaiety; McClellan ia
genial even iu bis reserve. Tbe density uf the
hair, the squareness of the jaw, tbe firmness
and regularity of the teeth, and tbe outline of
tbe features are points or similarity io both,
wbich would be more striking if Beanregard
were not of the true Louisiauiun Creole lint,
while McClellan is fair complexiuned. Beau
regard has a dark, dull studeol's eye, the dull
ness of which arises, however, from tbe forma
tion, for it is full of fire, tond its glances are
quick end searcbiog. McClellan bas a deep,
clear eye, into wbich you cao look far and deep,
wnue you reel it searches lur aud deep Into
you. Beauregard bus something of preten
sion in bis manuer not hauteur, but a fold
ing armed, meditative sort or air, wbicbseemt
to say, '-Don't disturb me; I'm thinking of
military movements." McClellan seems to be
always at leisure : but you feel at tbe tame
time you ought oot to iutrude too much npon
bim, even when you seek In vain for the
grounds nf tbat impression io anything be it
doing or tayiog. Beauregard is more crafty,
subtle, aod aslute : McClellan is more com
prehensive, more learned, more impressiona
ble. Beauregard is a thorough soldier;
McClellan may prove he is a great general.
The former only looks to mililury consequen
ces, and disregards populur manifestations ;
tbe latter respects tbe outer world, and sees
political as well as military results in what he
orders. Tbey are both tbe creatures of acci
dent, to far as tbeir present positions are con
cerned. It remains to be seen if either cao
control tbe current of events, and if in either
the artilleryman or the cavalry officer of the
United Stales Army there is tbe stuff around
wbich history is moulded, such as tbst of tb
artilleryman or Brit Due or the leader of the
Ironsides."
(3 Tbe Harrieburg Telegraph thus speakt
or Capt. Jake Zeigler, late Clerk or tha
Hons of Representatives. The Captain it
a whole tooled, clever fellow, and will make
a popular officer :
"Col. Jacob Zeigler, personally one of tb
best men in th Slate a wit, too, of brilliant
impulse and the m st generous sympathies,
It now actively employed in organizing a
regiment, which is to form part of the James
Brigade, encamped in tb vicinity of Hun
tiugdoo. One of the peculiarities of tb
regiment to be commanded by Col. Zeigler,
is tbat the uieu are ull "dead shots," fearing
nothing io tbe shape of a rebel, aod resolved
to prosecute ihis war, to tb eud or a glorious
vindication of lb federal law, tbe enforce,
meat of tbe federal authority, and lb re
establishment of tbe Union upon it iormer
proud and glorious foundations of security
Another peculiarity of tbit regiment it, tbat
several of its companions subsist entirely on
milk fight for milk, forage for milk, aod will
only be satisfied with milk. Thus milk
drinkers, witb tba gallant Uojle Jaoob at
their bead, will yet earn a reputation, for
high renown and chivalrous bravery. Success

II. B. Masskb, Ksq , Dear Sir .'Think-
ing a little information from the Ninety-third
Uugiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, uow
quartered at this place, might ioterest some
of the numerous readers of your estimable pa
per, 1 win endeavor to ruroisb tbem with a
lew items in regard to it :
1 be formation or this regiment began abont
tbe 10th or September, under special instruc
tion! from tbe War Department at Washing
ton. It was not Tuliy organized at tbe expi
ration of tbat time; beoce onr Colonel ob
tained an extension of thiriy days. Tbe regi
ment it composed or ten companies, which,
wben completed, will esch contain one hun
dred and one men ; tbey are from the follow
ing places i Company A, Uapt. Uenr, Lube
ooo s K, Arthur, Heading ; U, Uapt. ai urray,
Lebanon; D, Capt. Mark, Lebanon; E,
Capt. Shearer, Lock Haven ; F, Capt. Long,
Lebanoo ; O, Copt. JMaitland, Kvadmg ; 11,
Capt. Ramsey, Danville; 1, Capt. Bo) n ton,
Middletowo; K, uapt Dauguerty, Lebanon.
1 need not commend our Colonel (Uev. J. M
McCarter,) nor our Lieut -Col. (ex Col, J no
W. Johnson,) ulso Adjutant Lewis, as
they bave already rendered themselves con
spicuous by their zealous aod patriotic labors
iu behalf uf tbeir country's cause ; but judg
ing by tbe respectuble skill the regiment bus
so rapidly acquired io Ibe various drills, 1
consider our o dicers generally well worthy
tbeir positions, and have no doubt they will
make their maika.
Our Camp, a nice, level lot of tome fifteen
acres, (tbe County Fair grouuds,) U healthily
located, north of the towo. Our quarters,
tb sbeds or shanties at lie County Fair, are
comfortable, and protect ns from storm and
frost.
Our rationt still continne as they always
bave been substantial and wholesome ; the
water is also of good quality, so tbat we bave
remarkaqly little sickness ur ditease of any
kind among ns ; we are, however, provided
witb medical aid, at Dr. Simington, of Dan
ville, ia our surgeon. Messrs. Chas. Woods
and Cbas. L. Sboles, of Ibe same place, hold
positions nndur bim tbe former being As
sistant Surgeon, tbe latter Hospital Warden.
We ar now fully uniformed and soon ex
pect oor arms, whish will be Enfield Rifles.
Wa are also awaiting marching orders, though
1 do not know oor destination ; but tbe boy
are apparently willing and anxious to move,
provided it be toward "Dixie."
Saturday lust was ratber varied : about one
o'clock P. M. we were drawn op in "line of
batllo," "double quicked" into town, through
some two cr three inches of mud, and the rain
falling iu torrents. We wer baited at the
Kailroad station, to afford os all on opportu
nity of seeing our country's greatest chieltaiu,
Ueneral Scutt. He and several other digni
taries passed in a special train. 1 have since
learned tbat he bas lully resigned his positiou
the most prominent to wbich an American
can attain compelled to forsake it by tbe un
avoidable infirmities of increasing age. His
appearecce on the platform wus greeted with
thrilling applause, and tbe music, "Hail to
tbe Chief," played by the H-gimeotal tand.
May be yet tee hi cuuntry, for wbich be bas
been a "living sacrifice," rejoice under the be
nignant smiles of peace.
Yesterday Mr. Coleman (after whom this
camp is named,) presented the regiment witb
a splendid flag. Mr. C. haa manifrMed a deep
interest in tbe regiment from its origin, and
will no doubt continue to do an. Fearing 1
have already wearied you, 1 will cease for tha
present, expecting to be more minute should
1 write aguin. You will "be safe in recom

have resulted from our society in the dilfusioii of

indeed flattering. It iscuttomary at each meeting
of our society to select some suhjeel for conaido
ration at neit meeting, and, when the question
aeema more favorable to that course, to name
four members to lead a dincueaion, in which all
participate. Aluch information is thus derived,
aod a general interest eicited, wkish cannot fail
to produce good results. Meetings are held once
a week, when essays sre perused, orstions de

Our society haa not exiated auilicieutly long to

however, that great benefits will result to this
portion of Jackson from tbe improved and still
improving condition of Ihis society. We regret
that we bad to part with oome nf our intelligent

to respond to the call, and are now engaged in
