HARRISBURG' PA
Friday Afternoon, July 26, 1861
THE REINFORCEMENTS FROM PENN-
SYLVANIA
On Sunday evening last a requisition was re
ceived by Gov. Curtin, from the Secretary of
War, to forward to Washington, as speedily as
possible, all of the reserve corps that were ready
for action., Immediately orders were issued,
and the movement commenced. The troops in
camp at West Chester, Easton and Pittsburg,
Immediately began to prepare for a movement
to Camp Curtin, where they were fully equipped
and armed, and at once forwarded to Wash
ington. Thus, since Monday last, gathering the
troops from these distant points, assembling
them at Harrisburg t omd furnishing them with
the necessary clothing and arms, nearly Eleven
Theusand Men, in the very best order and disci
pline, have been forwarded to Washington city,
and are now in active service. Beside these
ten, regiments thus forwarded this week, there
were five other regiments that had gone forward
before these had started on the march, so that
Pennsylvania has now some sixteen thousand
fresh fighting men in the field.
In addition to these the War Department has
made another requisition on the Governor, for
ten other new regiments, to which we may add
two more that are organizing independently of
any requisition. These are filling up very fast,
from the returned men, the very best of whom
are re-enlisting. When these are full, and we
predict their organization in less than a month,
Pennsylvania will again have at least THIRTY
THOUSAND Flamm MEN in the field.
2V THE SOLDIERS !
There has been so much complaint on the
part of the soldiers, in relation to their enter
lainment, that we deem it our duty to inform
them that the neglect is within their own reach
and remedy. There is sufficient in store, in pos
session of the government to feed every volun
teer in Harrisburg, and feed him well, if his
`Cliptaln will do his duty, and look to the com
fort of the men. The Colonels of regiments
should also be reminded that their duty is not
over, grid that they still are under obligations
to care for the comfort of their men.
- If the officers of companies and regiments do
their duty to the men, the men themselves can
soon be made comfortable—but if on their ar
rival in Harrisburg, the officers seek the com
fort of the hotels, and leave the men to the
curb-stone and the market-house, they must of
course suffer. We know a dozen companies
whose men are well cared for, simply because
they were looked after and protected as well as
commanded by the captains. If all the captains
do their duty, all the men will be made as com
fortable as the occasion can possibly permit.
THE PAYMENT OF TEE TROOPS
It is due to the Paymaster General to state,
:that the delay in the payment of the troops is
in no'degree to be attributed to his Department,
but to thoie in the different companies who are
charged with preparing the company muster
•rolls. Major B. Cameron, Paymaster in the 11.
A., accompanied by "a number of assistants,
Is now here, prepared to pay the troops as fast
as: the muster rolls are presented. He brought
with him a large amount of gold and silver, and
has forwarded drafts to New York for other
an:mounts, which will be , forwarded as soon as
the sub-Treasurer at that point is able to count
-and ship the money. In this connection, we
may also state in justice to the government,
,tbat the disbursement of paper currency by
one of the paymasters in this city, was entirely
unwarranted by law, and was immediately pro
tested against and stopped by Mr. J. D. Cameron,
who is aidinz the paymasters here in facilita
ting the shipment of gold and silver from New
York to pay the troops.
COMMISSARY QENERAL EZWIN
dogma McCall, who is now in command of
a force in the regular army, has telegraphed to
Commitoary General Irwin, offering him the
charge of the Commissary's Department of his
division. This is a very high compliment
coming from an officer of the experience and
ilisapline, such as distinguish Gen. McCall,
and the compliment is no less deserved, as Gen.
has proyen himself every way worthy of
luck a recornition by the faithfulness with which
he . hal disc'harged his duty in connection with
the volunteer forces of . Pennsylvania.
We believe that the offer, has been declined,
It being-the intention of Gen. Irwin to mlfil
the great trust reposed in him by Gov. Curtin,
and remain at the head of the Commissary De
iortikent of Pennsylvania until the end of the
struggle.
ARTILLERY ORDERS
• Orders have been received from Washington
for the humediate transfer of the artillery force
.now organized in this state to the line of ope
ration on the Potomac. Preparations are now
being'made to carry out this order, and we learn
that Capt. Campbell is now actively engaged in
Arranging for the transport of ordnance and
men, and that as soon as horses can be procured,
- they will-start on their destination for the seat
of war Charley Campbell has the reputation of
being a brave and efficient officer,. and he how
will soon have another chance of again proving,
as he did on the battle-fields of Mexico, his in
disputable claim to such a reputation.

THE ORIGINAL PLAN OF OPERATION
Since the result of the sanguinary encoun
ter at Bull Run, which was regarded at first
as a calamity, but which was in reality a vic
tory, dimmed in its glory by the subsequent con
fusion and retreat of the federal forces, the old
and original plan of operation is now comment
ed upon and admitted to be the most promising
of practical results. During the time consumed
in fortifying the border, erecting entrench
ments and extending our lines, the discipline of
the troops was to be thoroughly secured. This
would have been easy and pleasant occupation
for the men during the warm months in the
latitude of Washington city, Fort Monroe,
Western Virginia, Cairo, and other localities se
lected by the wisdom of the Commander-in-
Chief. It was designed to secure the erection
of immense lines of fortifications, the protec
tion of the border by a small body of men when
an advance became necessary, and what would
be of more importance than all, the discipline
and organization of an army such as never be
fore raised its banners or shouldered its mus
kets in this country. It was evidently the de
sign of the Old Hero and Chieftain Scott, to
make this demonstration of a character that
would have its effects at home and abroad. He
desired, doubtless, to exhibit the energy and
the strength of the nation in their most promi
nent light, as well to strike terror into the
hearts of traitors, imbue loyal men with con
fidence in their government, and leave no room
for the world to mistake the, purposes of a gov
ernment to defend its interests abroad that was
thus prompt and decisive with treason at home.
When this grand army had been completely
organized, and after frost had destroyed the
infebtions of a southern climate, its movements
were to be proposed. Who can doubt the ef
fect of such a demonstration? But it has been
thwarted by the impetuous anxiety of that por
tion of the people in the loyal states who fight
battles with adjectives and adverbs, and who
direct military movements with the pen instead
of the sword. The result at Bull Run is the
first effect of this impetuous interference, which
has already had the effect of silencing this in
lerferenee, and will hereafter leave the military
authorities free to act as their experience and
judgment may dictate. And that result will be
VICTORY !
THE PEOPLE OF HARRISBURG AND TILE
VOLUNTEERS.
Since Monday morning there has been a
large body of volunteers in the city of Har
risburg, their number being increased with the
arrival of special trains from the south, almost
every hour in the day. From six to eight thou
sand men have been in the city during this
time, and this large number of people are liter
ally quartered on the citizens of Harrisburg.
They were brought here in a hurry. They
were landed in our midst without any provision
-having been made for their accommodation,
hungry, weary and clamoring for their money.
They could not go without food, and therefore
the hospitable people of Harrisburg have thrown.
open their doors, spread their boards with what
would satisfy the hungry, and the soldier has
been welcome to enter and eat. Besides thus
-feeding the hungry a large amount of money
has ,been contributed in small sums to a large
number of people. We know of instances of
men giving as high as five to ten dollars
per day, during this week, and there are hun
dreds of these cases of contributions that are not
known, which would swell this amount in the
aggregate to a large sum. Our friends through
out the state, in the homes of the returning
volunteers, will understand our reference to this
matter. We do not desire to impose any obli
gation on them by the exercise of this hospi
tality, because it was bounteously and gener
ously bestowed. Our object is only to give the
proper credit to the people of Harrisburg, leav
ing the estimate of their hospitality to be fixed
and approved by the soldiers who enjoyed it,
and their friends who will hear of it at home.
We would be doing injustice, if we omitted
to refer to our different hotels, large and small,
whose proprietors aro no less hospitable and
generous; than the citizens at large In entertain-,
ing the hungry soldiers. It is unnecessary to
mention these in detail. It is sufficient for us
to if.now that they have all been taxed more or
less hi contlitiuting to the appetite and repose
of the hungry and weary soldiers.
Altogether, we have reason to be proud of the
manner in which the returning soldiers are
treated by the people of our beautiful city.
This gallant young -Pemasylvanian, who waa ,
among the earliest appointments of the Secre
tary of War, distinguished himself during the
late severe contest at Bull Run in a manner that
reflects credit alike upon himself and the ser
vice. ' In - thitractetuit'of - the battle published in
the Balthnore Sun, he is thus alluded to:
This officer had three men shot while en
deavoring to stop the retreat, and he himself
performed gallant service in this way after hav
ing received the following wounds: A pistol
shot through the arm,,received in the last charge
of the secession cavalry; a wound in the side
from the splinter of a shell, received in the field;
a sabre cut on the shoulder, received while en
deavoring to stop the, retreat.
A correspondent of the New York World cor
roborates the above with the following addi
tional statement of fact and compliment:
The sight of Miles' reserve , drawn up on the
hills at Centreville, supporting a full battery of
field pieces, and the efforts of the few officers
still faithful to their trust, encouraged many of
the fugitive infantry to seek their old camps
and go no further. But the majority pushed on
to a point near the late site of Germantown,
where Lieutenant Brisbin had formed a line of
Hunt's artillerists across the road, and repulsed
all who attempted to break through. I partic
ularly request attention to the services thus
rendered by this loyal young officer.
Lieut. Brisbin is now at Herr's Hotel; still in
a critical condition, but receiving every atten
tion and kindness that his friends and the host
can bestow.
COL. JAMS CAMERON'S Highland Regiment
suffered immensely in loss of officers, besides
that of their lamented leader. Four Captains
were killed on the geld; one. Major and two
Captains severely wounded. A large number
of Lieutenants: were also wounded and =info&
while the loss of non-commissioned offims is
equally great. All this proves the sturdy fight
ing and heroic courage of the gallant and la
mented Colonel and his officers.

LIEUT. JAMES S. BRISBIN:
TEE BATTLE OF BULL RUN.
The more we regard and ponder the facts
connected with the battle of Bull Run, the
more we examine its results as a whole, the
more we are forced to regard it as a victory in
stead of a defeat, notwithstanding so many of
the circumstances attending its conclusion con
spire to exhibit it in an unfavorable light.
The main point against us now- is, that a por
tion of the troops became panicized and fled or
retreated from the field. -This is true in detail,
but in fact the retreat is not , so disgraceful as
many good citizens have been unrelunctently
forced to suppose, simply because that retreat
was after having accomplished the most stu
pendous results, both in the assault of batter-
ies, the destruction of entrenchments, and the
actual defeat of Beauregard and Johnston. Be
forethe division of Johnston hadr.eaeked the
scene of action, it will be remembered that
Gen. Beauregard had been defeated, driven
from Bull Run to his'entrenchments at Manas
sas Gap, and even stormed, there by : our gallant
and victorious troops. It was while Beaure
gard was in that position, that Johnston made
his appearance on the field and was also' de
feated—defeated fairly and almost terribly, and
this, too, when both Bea.uregard and Johnston
attempted to form and censolidate their col
umns, the men under McDowell, turned on the
forces under Beauregard* and again defeated
him. At this, juncture the confusion occurred
which pariccized the entire feciend force, The
civilituis, on whom this disgrace must forever
rest, began to retreat, on horseback, in coaches
and on foot, their movements at once discover
ed by the teamsters, who also began to : fly, ,and
who in turn infused . panic into the army, and
then began the retreat Which-lost us the credit
of a' victory that had been fairly achieved.
We desire that these facts be fairly Set before
, ,
the world that the reputation of the federal
forces does not suffer injury from misrepresents=
tion. Men never acted 'nobler, than ditftbose
who struggled before the masked . batteries of
the enemy. They possessed and held successive
ly certain batteries eight times, .and.on each
repulse, returned to the assault with a vigor and.
zeal that would have done credit to vetrans..
They.withstood the most blanching and destruc
tive fire, and regiment after-regiment only left
the field after each was convinced that the bat
tle was irretrievably lost, and that retreat, in
I good order, was , the better part of, valor..
There is no doubt that the retreat has given
immense satisfaction to the rebels, as it has to
their sympathizers in the loyal, states. It • was
unfortunate at the time that it occurred, but
under all the circumstances, taking the confu
sion of the civilians and the panic of. the team
sters, the people can justly reserve part of• the
censure they were so prone to heap .upon the
troops, for some of their own derilictions in the
hour of danger and embarrasment.
THE ,APPEARA/VCE THE : SOLDIERS.
We doubt if there were a haler, hartier, or
stronger .looking body of men ever seen by those
accustomed to large crowds, than- the. soldiers
now gathered in Harrisburg. There is:some
thing in the faces of these men, that indicates
health—something in their gait and conduct
that exhibits the genial spirit of honest hearts,
pride and independence. They do not look as
if they were Starved—they do not act as if they
were reckless'or irresponsible, and with the ex
ception of a few'," we are proud to note, for the
satisfaction of the people in the localities where
these men belong, throughout the broad state
of Pennsylvania, that we never noticed a more
orderly, sober and' well-behaved body of 'men
assembled on any occasion Or for any Purpose.
They are just from the camp, where we were
accustomed to hear' they were illy treated, hut
they, themselves, fail intheir 'own personal ap
pearance to present the' evidence of this ill
treatment, and we have a right to believe from
his, that Pennsylvania is not the ungrateful
mother of her gallant defenders, that the ser
vile and venal press of her neighbors would
have the world believe. If the soldiers of every
commonwealth look as well on their yetprn
home as do those of Pennsylvania, there will
be more boasting and ,rejoicing : , over the, fact
than there is at present in this state, simply
because we are more prone to complain panto
boast. And we venture the assertion, too, that
scarcely a single man of all those who:rare soon
to return to ' their immediate 'homes,. will be
welcomed by his friends without remarks on his
Improved condition and appearance. This is
the noblest vindication that .old Pennsylvania
could need or ask those of her soldiers who
have taken ordinary care of themieves, with
the care and attention given to the* by the
authorities, look well, act well, and we are con
vinced, feel well. But those who were and are
dissipated, not only disgraced themielves, but
the service, while all the attention and care
that a hundred authorities could bestow upon
them could not counteract the evil influences
of their own dissipation& This is the fairest
way to explain com Plaints and appearances...
Ex-Samoa Bun As, who was among the ci
vilians whose retreat at Bull Run assisted in the
confusion and panicking of the Army under
Gen. it'Dowell, seems , to, have continued his
backward movement until he reached Harrb3-,
burg, as wenoticed him on promenade last even
ing. We had 1 49 PPPortunity to inquire. into the
strength of his knees, but will risk the declara :
lion that they were uot any stronger than naiad;
and still continue to shake when under the in
fluence of the Ex-Senator's peculiar. mental tre
pidations.
Tan rumored death- of General Johnston in
the late battle seems to be confirmed, and it is
also said that the rebels lost ;nore colonels than
we did.

It is said that the government holds Colonel
Miles responsible for the disaster of Sunday.
The Colonel was in command of our reserves at
Centreville, and it is reported that he was neg
ligent at the critical moment. He is under ar
rest and will, be tried by Court-Martial.
The government has accepted a regiment of
artillery from Pennsylvania to-day. The regi
ment numbers one, thousand men, and has a
battery of thirty guns, together with five squad
rons of cavalry and a full equipment of rifles.
The men are all Pennsylvanians.
The war steamer . Resolute has just arrived
here from a cruise along the shore of Virginia.
She has captured two schooners and a sloop, and
found three new rebel batteries on the Potomac,
one of them mounting six guns.
The report of the re-occupation of Fairfax
Court House by the rebels is confirmed. The
enemy are planting batteries of artillery at that
point.
Congress will not adjourn this week.
AFFAIRS IN MISSOURI
Accounts from Keokuk, lowa, say that sev
eral hundred secessionists took possession of
Memphis, Scotland county, on Friday last, and
were entrenching themselves, in the apprehen-
sion of an attack from about one thousand
Union men under Col. Moore, who were en
camPOd near by.
. .
The usual stand of arms have been distributed
along the southern border of lowa by Governor
Kirkwood. Much excitement existed on the
border of both States.
The secessiodists are disarming Union men
in the northeastern portion of Missouri.
PATRIOTISM IN BOSTON
The circular from Secretary Chase, asking a
loan of five millions of dollars from the Boston
banks for sixty days, at six per cent. interest, is
being readily responded to. Yesterday several
of the banks subscribed from one hundred to
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars each,
while others concur, but have to refer the mat
ter to their boards of directors.
ACCEPTANCE OF NEW REGIMENTS
Eight new regiments from Ohio were recently
accepted, Capt. Harris, of Cincinnati, for bra
very in the recent action, was to-day authorized
to raise a regiment. Col -McCook had previous

are being constantly tendered and accepted.
XXXVIIth Congress—Extra Session.
. Houss.—Mr. DAWES, (Mass.,) from the Com
mittee on Elections, reported a resolution that
Mr. Shiel, of Oregon, is entitled to his seat in
the House instead of. Mr. Thayer; who now oc
cupies It.
Mr: SKDOWICE, Y.,) from the Committee
on Naval Affairs, reported a bill, which passed,
authorizing the President to appoint command
ants of navy yards from commanders as well as
captains.
Mr. VANnzvza, (lowa,) moved to adjourn.
Mr. FuNros, (N. Y.,) moved that when the
House adjourns it be 'till Monday.
Mr. Comtx, (lnd.,) inquired of Mr. STEVENS,
chairman of the committee of ways and means,
when it was probable that the House would be
able to adjourn Sine die.
Mr. STEPHENS replied that it depended some
what on the Senate: He intended to move to
go into committee of the whole on the state of
the Union to consider the tax bill. The House,
by its action on that measure, would be able, to
determine as to whether Congress shall stay
longer. . -
Wasimusare (Illinois,) suggested that the
House should continue in session to-day till the
reports of the committee of conference be dis
posed of, instead of adjourning now till Mon:
day.
Mr. Sinvaxs was not aware of any business
pending in which the Committee of Ways and
Means were immediately concerned. He in
quired-of.. Mr. Washburn whether the commit
tee of - conference intended to report the
bill repealing all laws which create ports of en
try in rebellious States.
NT. Wontatzaz replied that the committee
were considering that measure, and had been
in consultation with members of the cabinet
concerning it. The subjectis full of embarrass
ment. He was unable, to say whether the com
mittee would or would not make a report.
Mr. Cox, (Ohio,) offered a resolution that, the
Senate concurring, Congress will adjourn on
Tuesday next, at noon. •
Mr. WRIGHT (Pa.,) suggested Monday as an
amendment, which Mr. Cox accepted.
Mr. McCLEBNAN hoped Mr. Cox would
withdraw the resolution before the adjourn
ment. We should make some provision for ad
'ditional revenue, else the government credit
would fail.
Mr. Wiliam. It has failed already.
Mr. McClauses)). No, sir. I move to lay
the resolution on the table.
This motion was parried.

of the Life Medicines is truly astonishing, often removing
in a few days, every vestige of these loathsome diseases

Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Piles, and in short,
most all diseases soon yield to their curative properties
No family should be without them, as by their timely

THE ECONOMY OF HBALTE.—This busy nation of Ameri.
cans have 12,000,000 working people, whose services
may be estimated at $2 a day, and their annual loss by
sickness at an average of ten days each in the year.—
This gives a total loss of $240,000,000 a sum three times
as large as the whole cost of the General Government,
indcluding the Army, Navy, Post offices, Legislators,
Foreign Ministers and all. The amount weighs over six
haired tons in pure gold.
A larga proportion of this costly snfferirg might be
averted by attention to diet, cleanliness, and above all,
by the proper use of the right remedy in season. When
a 25 cent box of Ayer's Pills will avert an attack of ill
ness which it would take several days to recove , from,
or a dollar bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, will expel .a
lurking disorder that would bring the sufferer to his
back for weeks or months, does it take . any figures to
show the good economy of the investment? When Fever
and Ague is rankling in your veins, and shaking your
life out of you, is it worth the dollar it costs for his Aeon
Cuss to havo the villainous disorder expelled, which it
does sure and quickly? When you have taken a cold is
it prudent to wait until it is settled en the lungs, when
days or weess or months must be spent in trying to
cure it, even if it can be cured at all, or is it cheaper to
take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, costing a few shillings, and
remove the trouble before it is serious? It takes no Wis
dom to decide. .
