* S
the State Capital,AW.4ay. ,This gallanta9l
- was receiyeiY4 l the arithoritieg'ifitl&he
honor Which is his due. It is understood that
Gen. Crawford came to Harris)urqp .
with the authoritieS here, - ; r eference to"the
prospects, present and future, of the corps
which he i's . in command-a
which now cluster the affections
and thein
terest of the people of the, - XeyStotie l s e tate.
The War Department, for reasons of course
known only to the Aecretaridif-Wari,"iiiiiinn
nounced the purpose, and actually carried into
effect, an order to divide anti scatter
.thi3;tlif
ferent regiments Of-thelteserve Corps, thus
placing the men in 'still:lige commands—and
what is more g - rievons to these briivaifelltiws,
separating them, destroying the prestige of
their organization, diminishing ithe gloryw.hich
they cherish as belonging to their association
beneath the same flag, anciblotting them out, as,
i.t Were, cm the page of history ! Our friends of
the Reserve Corps 'have. for some time been
writing to us on this 'subject, antteipating and
deploring the division of the corps to which
we allude. written to us since
this division has commenced, by detailing and`'
ordering off .for service in other divisions of
the anny, two of the regiments of the Re
serves ; and if but half is true that our cor
respondents communicate, theeffeellias
to demoralize as brave and as-gallant a Set of
men as ever rallied to the appeals . of, horair,or
went into battle to defend a glorious. cause
The men of the Pennsylvania Reserve ar . 6 al
ready disheartened, if they are )zot rend ered
,unfit
for service by the ruthless'brealcing ap of, their
organization.' .
It is hoped that the orders for the 'divisice i
of the Reserve Corps Will be . re-Considered.
There is something too glorious, toe: - .4ble,
too dear; clustering around this organization,
to have it broken up 13.0 W, when its reputation
has become so sacred to the great:State of
Pennsylvania. It 'muet be remembered, .that
this corps was organized independent of •the
orders of the War Departmentthat it was
the result of a policy to protect the borders of
the State—and that in, tlip darkest hour of the
Republic it, the ReserVe7Corps, niarelied at an
opportune moment to the rescue of tlie Govern
ment when its most Sang-dine 'frieridd 'iiiia
gined that its doom of destruction had arrived.
Surely these facts deserve some considera
tion.
=lt is understood that Gov. Curtin is now
in correspondence with the War !Deliartment
on this subject. We trust that he : will suc
ceed in securing ' a continuance' of. Jhe :un
broken organization of the Reserve• Cops:
The City Election. , ' ,
The election for ,citypfficers, councilmen,
