HARRISBURG, PA. Tuesday Afternoon, August 6, 1861. TEE PAYMENT OF THE moan. The Patriot indulged in one of its usual coarse flings at its best friends yesterday, the edi 2 . tom making use of poor locals to 'cast their spleen at those to whom common gratitude *should induce them to yield respect. When the article was penned which appeared in the local columns of yesterday's Patriot, referring to the charges in regard to the payment of paper money, it was done to injure the reputation of gentlemen connected with the Middletown Bank, a bank of all others in this country, in which the people about the Patriot office are in terested in having solvent, or at least in up holding its ability to accommodate on discount days. But ingratitude is sure to follow base treason arid falsehood, and therefore to be con sistent in all things it becomes necessary for them to attack their friends, to assail an insti tution above reproach, and if possible, damn the characters of men above suspicion, to serve their own wicked purposes of political spite and per sone jealousy. So far as Paymaster Cameron was concerned, he had no more to do with the delay in the payment of the troops than the people about the Patriot office have to do with the delay or the payment of each others' debts, nor had he any thing to do with the disbursement of paper money—nor had the officers of the Middletown Bank any thing to do with the circulation of their notes among the soldiers, more than they have with their circulation among all classes of the community, as a safe, reliable and popular paper currency. When it was discovered that the troops were being paid in paper, as we have before stated, the business was stopped by J. D. Cameron, and gold and silver substituted as the legal tender for their services. This the Patriot did not state, simply because it was an honorable truth that has redounded to the credit of a high minded and honorable gentle man. The Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch joins in this hue and cry against the United States Paymas ters Department, with all its accustomed coarse- news, malevolence and vulgarity. In this re spect the Dispatch excells the Patriot, from whom it derives its information and takes its que ; and in its evident desire to do Paymaster Cam eron an injury, all its old prejudices, spite and hatred against a prominent citizen of the state, is shown in its efforts to damage the character of his son. In this instance, the attempt will signally fail, not only on account of the emi nence and innocence of the parties attacked, tAit because of the notorious character of the as sailant, its well known charlatanism, black-mail propensities and libellous antecedents. In the estimation of the people of Philadelphia, the attacks of the Sunday Dispatch are the best evi dence of a man's independence and integrity. - -It is a matter of small importance to the gentleman whom the Patriot insists upon mis representing, whether its statements are exposed and proven to be false. They repose their re putations with confidence on the good opinions of this community, but it does no harm thus occasionally to uncover the track B of a hypocrite, and expose the desperation and ingratitude of men who have become politically the scorn and contempt of all who love their country and esteem the words of truth and soberness. Ws mut Arrrnoarzeo to contradict the many rumors in regard to the tenor and the style of the letters said to have been given to parties who have entered the rebel territory fn search of the body of the gallant and lamented Col. James Cameron, by the Secretary of War. No letter was ever written by Gen. Cameron, or any member of the Cabinet, to be used on a mission of the kind referred to, which could possibly be tortured or construed into a recog nition of the traitors. In moat instances the gentlemen who went on these missions did so voluntarily and on their own responsibility, prompted thereto to relieve the anxiety of one bWther for another who had fallen in battle, with his face to his oountry's foes, or actuated still further to show their friendship for the reniains of one who, while living, was their cherished companion and friend. We trust that this explanation will put an end to the many reports sent into circulation and invented on sheer falsehood, in regard to the rash and impolitic letters alleged to have been written by the Secretary of War. In connection with the sad event, and the high position of the party thus sought to be embarrassed, the report can only be regarded as both wicked and trea sonable. BY ms Omnsexce OF ihnonm, the property of Gen. Scott in that state has been confiscated to the public treasury. As a ootemporary well observes, before the state can realize it, General Scott will probably make good his title with his sword. • A Naw SHAFT has been put into the United States sloop Susquehanna, and she will soon be ready to' ready to resume her place in the blelikado• tilt:bum of the Fedenil troops and block,- &ding squadron at Fort Pickens is excellent. OLD ACTORS AND .NEW ENTERPRISES. The old backs of the dislocated democratic party have been devoting the spring and the summer of the year of rebellion to the cry that pasties should be banished, that politics should be thrown to the dogs, and that the American people should eschew anything like distinction In the dispensation of the patronage of the gov ernment. This was done to intimidate the ad ministration of Abraham Lincoln. The hordes of old treasury leeches that had been feeding on the vitals of the government, were not will ing to yield their places, and therefore clamored for recognition and retention. The spring has passed, the summer of the year is fast running into the golden hours of autumn, and with these changes come also the changes in the tactics and purposes of the miserable men who cling to the fragments of the corrupt old democratic orga nization, hoping that a revival of its withered strength will renew their opportunities of plun der and their chances of procuring place. In these dark days of rebellion this is indeed evil news ; and it is well to warn the patriotic men of the country of the purposes of these politicians, and thus place good men on their guard for the future. In Philadelphia public opinion had complete ly shamed to death the organs that retained 113_804004 to_reJ,l4 slefrAtad falsehood after tri‘ Janiei Buchanan had passed to odium and oblivion. The Argus and the Pennsylvanian filled a common grave of pol lution, and it was hoped that the decency of the city and the reputation of the common wealth would no more be insulted or invaded by similar publications. But the hope was fruit less, as efforts are now being made to start an other vehicle of falsehood and misrepresenta tion, on which Democratic politicians are to be carried into power, and in the support of which the resources of the public treasury are again to be squandered by thousands of dollars. The Philadelphia Evening Journal says that a meet ing was held in that city yesterday, for the pur pose of making arrangements to start a new Democratic journal, which was participated in by such men as James Page, who never earned a penny by honest labor, but who amassed a fortune by office . and political speculation— Dick Young, who is the rebel leader of igno rance and political presumption—Horn R. Kneass, who screams for office as a Jackawl does for meat. These men have resolved to start an organ, and that machine is to be the Patriot and Union, which is to be removed to Philadelphia, in connection with our well-wisher and unmis takable friend, Col. Thomas McDowell, who is to become the editor, because he is a gentleman of enlarged newspaper experience ! Hear it, ye trem bling sphere-s and frozen zones I and listen to the announcement, oh ! ye weary toilers with the pen in Quaker City newspaperdom. A new star is about to burst on your vision, but let that be no cause for any of you getting on a bust. We congratulate the people and the press of the metropolis on this prpmised accession to their numbers and their intellect, but what is to become of Mr. Barrett? Is our pious friend to be cheated in this transfer ? Is he to be left to the solitude and the beauty of the banks of the Susquehanna, while his partner goes to reap his rewards between the waters of th% • Schuylkill and the Delaware ? There is some thing rotten in this business, which, for the honor of the fraternity, Deacon Barrett must find out and expose. Another party mentioned in con nection with a renewal of a medium of Demo cratic slang in Philadelphia, is composed of Gloesbrenner•and Welsh, of York, who are now in the newspaper business, like our friends over the way, and equally as anxious to escape from the raral districts, to take up their abode in the metrocolis. All these movements of the old and desperate leaders of the scattered fragments of the Demo cratic organization, are of no other consequence than proving the design and intention of the common enemies of law and order in the country While they cry no party, they are darkly engaged in concocting means to revive party—to achieve power, that they may the better aid their alliea in the south. If the old Democratic party can be revived, if the dough faces in the north can regain power, the rebels of the south will be asked to another compro mise, such as has heretofore brought humilia tion to the free states and disgrace to the Union.. It will te seen, too, that the men who are en gaged in these efforts, are the same who advo cated the political claims and now defend the tretoon of John C. Breckinridge. Between these parties there is evidently an understand ing and a design. Therefore let us watch the progress of the arrangement, and note the new phases which treason will assume in this State, when Col. Thomas M'Dowell and the Patriot and Union are removed' to the city of Philadel phia. INCREASE OF PAY 210 THE SOLDIERS. Congress has enacted a law increasing the pay of the soldiers from eleven to fifteen dol lars per month, which comes up more to the standard of justice, and also affords additional inducements to volunteer. There is no reason why the federal army should not be the best paid, the most thoroughly disciplined, and most highly cultivated of all the armies in the world. The raw material is at hand—the un disciplined valor and fortitude abounds every where, to make our army such, now that the pay has been raised, if commands are only given to men of experience, ability; moral worth and manly culture. "A.lmorremmr," whom we so justly castigated Yesterday afternoon, has discovered by this time how mean a thing even a Lieutenant is, when his audacity and impudence convict him of the silliest kind of falsehoods. His attempt to take us to task for stating what was an error of others, and then pompotudy declaring what was to be the hour of the starting of the Artillery Regiment, leaves him in a pitiful position, just where we told him such subordinates are left, when the orders to march are delivered. The Regiment did not sktrk at 6 o'clock yesterd a y evening, nor at ,¢ , ,,o'clo* this •; "A rieutetiany. must ?wok the keyhole 4 .hie, Pr room, cicsao.l4 1 .) , P:1 1 1 4 11 1 324n . Elf& _ tik i6 g it, or he, wkwes d bentbkkto correctly on the orders to march. MAJOR GENERAL WOOL The recent letter of this distinguished officer, giving an account of his relations with the "Union Defence Committee" of New York, very clearly exhibits his mistakes, as well as the honest though imprudent motives by which he believes he was actuated. It seems pretty clear that the reason why he has not been called into active service must be attributed to his own conduct. Gen. Wool is a brave man and an excellent martinet. His services were of great value in getting the troops into condition before the battle of Baena Vista ; but that battle was won by Gen. Taylor, not by him. As the latter I rode into the field, the troops being already fully engaged with the enemy, the cry—" Old Zach's coming"—tells the story. We have an idea that if Gen. Wool had com manded at Bull's Run, his bravery and energy might have saved a good deal of the disaster of the day. But, in truth, he had taken a great dealloo much upon himself in the outset of the military operations at the North. Gen. Wool forgot that, as Commander of the Military De partment, he was commander only of the regu lar forces, military posts and so forth in the Department, and had no more official concern with other arrangements in it than any civilian. His business was to wait for orders from head quarters. He assigns an excellent motive for: hitt zeal, bie state of the courtrW4.l4l4,4lliii duty of every patriot; but theitime.rea'Sdni 'ap plied to everybody else, and did not perMit him more than any other person, to step4side from his proper sphere of duty, to interferkwith that belonging to others. He pleads that-he acted by the advice of Vice President Hamlin; but, in fact, that personage was as much out of place as himself, and probably was wished by his compeers in the government safely at Skowhe gan, or wherever his eastern habitation may be. It will be remembered, that the operations in which these parties were engaged occurred at the period that those dark hints came out in some of the leading New York papers, echoed by others here, of a soda supplementary 'revo lution, to overthrow the administration by force, and to put somebody else, who, it was thought, would be more efficient, at the head of affairs. We do not know who was contem plated for dictator; but it was evident that Gen. Wool was persuaded by the self-styled 'Union Defence Committee, the praise of which has not been very lasting, to allow his name and sup posed authority to be used by them, not for the public benefit, in many of their proceedings. MEETING OF THE BOARD O 1 ARMY SURGEONS. The Board of Surgeons ordered by the Gov ernor to assemble this day at the. House of Rep resentatives for the examination of candidates for the post of surgeon in the new regiments of Pennsylvania volunteers now being raised under the last requisition of the President of the United States, met at 9 o'clock A. M. The Roard consists of Surgeon General Henry H. Smith, M. D., of Philadelphia, James S. Car penter, M. D., of Pottsville, Wm. W. Ruther ford, M. D., of Harrisburg, James Sing, M. D., Division Surgeon, of Pittsburg. A large num ber of candidates registered their names and after receiving copies of their printed questions proceeded to write out their answers—these being subsequently enclosed in an envelope and endorsed are handed in to the Board for exami nation and on their report a merit roll is form ed from which the Governor will hereafter ap point surgeons as rapidly as the regiments are organized and require them. The syStem of examination is a very thorough one and well calculated to display the relative professional merits of each candidate, while it ensures to our troops the best medical skill, the highest on the list being in every instance selected first, whilst those who do not reach the standard es tablished by the Board are not regarded as qual ified for theresponsibility that devolves on those who are entrusted with the lives and limbs of our fellow citizens. The law establishing the Medical Board of the State was one of the best acts of our late Legislature, and its effectiveness has been greatly augmented by the efforts of the Governor, aided by the Surgeon General, to car ry.• out strictly all its require cents. TICE OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE respecting the burning of the Norfolk ship-houses, and sinking of the fleet there, has just been published. It appears that to Commedore McCauley's cow ardice or treachery, the country is indebted for that terrible loss—for the greatest of the calami ties that have befallen the country since the commenceirient of the war being the abandon ment of the cannon at Norfolk Navy Yard. Tze Emus have been expelled from Western Virginia. At every encounter they have fled ingloriously, and left the &idyl the undisputed possealion of the federal government.' This embraces one-third of the state, and if Gen. Rosecrans forms a junctions of his, forces with those of Gen. Cox, at dauleylkidge, the federal army will take up its - march for Staunton and central Virginia, from-ichince is but a step, comparatively, into East Tennessee. THE SECRETARY OF WAR has authorised Col. onel JohnlM. Gosline, Lieutenant. Colonel Gus. W. Town, and other officers -in Philadelphia city, who have been in the service of the United States, to raise, forthwith a realMent of - Zonaves, with special privileges—one of which is, that the men will be mustered into the service by companies, their pay commencing immediately on being sworn in. WAIUMGTON CITY is now safe beyond any possibility of - surprise by the enemy's crossing the river between , Georgettlivii and Harper's Ferry. It is also believed that the rebels have abandoned such an intention, and ate vigor. ously concentrating their forOs lower down, es tablishing their line of defence between the east of the Blue Ridge at Manassas Junction and the lower.

BY TELEGHPI HALF-PAST FOUR O'CLOCK LAST DAY OF CONGRESS. PASSAGE OF - IMPORTANT BILLS• Interesting and Impressive Beene. The Announcement of Kentucky's Devo• tion to the Union. THE TRAITORS REBUKED [CONTINUATION Op MONDAY'S PROCICKDINGS.] SZNA.TS.—In Senate yesterday after an execu tive session lasting nearly eight hours and a half, the doors were again opened at 10} o'clock P. M. The House bill to increase the number of representatives to 289 was taken up and after a short discussion laid over. On motion of Mr. Ceatlicut, Va., the Senate again proceeded to hold an executive session.— At o'clock the Senate adjourned till 9.1 o'clock this morning. [TUISDAY'S ritoommasj The Senate met this morning at 9} o'clock. A communication was received fro& the Presi 'dent in answer to a resolution asking if Hon. li. Lane had been appointed a Brigadier General. The communication was ordered to be printed. Mr. DixoN(Conn.) reported a resolution to pay Asbury Dickens, late Secretary of the Senate, a salary for one year from the present time, the amount being $B,OOO. Mr. CHANDISR, (Mich.,) moved to amend so as to insert the name of Mr. McNair, late Ser geant-at-Arms. Lost. The resolution was then passed. The bill to punish certain crimes against the United States was taken up and passed. Mr. Powell, (Ky.,) offered a resolution in re gad :to the Police Commissioners of Baltimore, in order to amend the report of the Committee of Judiciary on that subject. The preamble sets forth that, Wfuntass Certain citizens of Baltimore have been arrested in violation of law, Resolved, That such arrests were unconstitu tional and illegal, and the parties should be im mediately released or else delivered up to the civil authorities. The Senate refused to consider the resolution, by a vote of 7 yeas to 33 nays. All the papers relative to the contested seat in the Kansas representation were ordered to be printed. Mr. Wuson, (Mass.,) moved to take up the joint resolution approving of the acts . of the President. Mr. Dourrns, (Wis.,)moved to go into ex ecutive session. The motion was disagreed to by the following vote. YEAL—Mesas. Baker, Bayard, Bingham, Carlisle, Chandler.

Mr. Bucxxtramooi (Ky.) said that at the early part of the session the senate was very anxious to vote on this resolution approving of the acts of the President. It now seems that they re• coil from it, which he thought was a sign of re turning reason. Kr. FEMUR; (life.,) said he had always been ready to vote on this resolution; and yet the gentleman seems to imply that the Senate is afraid to vote on it. Be could have all the benefit of such an argument. Mr. Tams= g.u.) said he was not ready to vote until after lurther consideration. By common content the resolution to pay Hon. F. P. Stanton for mileage was passed. Mr. Stso, (N. Y.) moved to go into execu tive session. Agreed to. After a short executive session the joint re solution authorising the Secretary of War to pay the volunteers who, under the command of Capt. Chase White, according to the order of Brig. Gen. (leo. Morris, had enlisted to protect the railroad bridge and other property in the vicinity of Oakland, Md., was taken up and lam• On motion of Mr. Genus, (lowa,) the House amendments to the bill providing for the re pair of the long bridge were concurred in. Mr. Sinews (Mass.) presented the resolutions of the Legislature of Massachusetts instructing its Senators, and requesting the Representatives from that State, to use all honorable means to secure the recognition of the Republic of Hayti. Laid on the *le and ordered to be printed. On motion of Mr. Ganfxs the Senate again proceeded in executive session, after which, at 14 o'clock p. m., the Senate adjourned sine the. Houss—The House passed the Senate bill re lative to the Supreme Court of the United States in cases of appeals. Mr. Biztostem, (Ohio,) asked the unanimous consent of the House to introduce a bill to de fine, prohibit and punish certain unlawful com munication with the enemies of the United States. The Senate bill was passed with an amend ment appropriating $20,000 for repairs to the long bridge over the Potomac. Various measures were proposed to be taken up by different members, but objections were interposed on each occasion. The House passed the Senate bill to increase the pay in the regular army and for volunteers. The House disposed of several matters of no public importance. On motion of Mr, Cox, (Ohio,) a resolution was adopted calling on the President, if com patible with the public service, to communicate to the House at the next session, all correspond ence had by the Government with foreign na tions since 1858, with reference to maritime rights. Mr. Max, (Md.) asked leave to make a per sonal explanation, but this was objected to from the Republican side. Mr. M'Crarixeso, (M.) offered a resolution providing for , the purchase of a copy of the Congressional Globe and Appendix for each member of the present House who has not re ceived the same. Objection was made. - Messages were from time to time received from the Senate, the Committee on Enrolled Bills occasionally reporting and the Speaker signing the same. - Towards noon there was much hurry among the officers in transactii* business. Messages were received from the President informing the Homo that he had , approved certain bills. , Kr. mussy, (Ohio,) moved that the session be extended thirty minutes. Mr. COLFAX, (Ind.,) said the Secretary of the Senate had intimated to him that such an ex tension was desirable. - Mr. Vattazunoutat said that such a motion was scarcely necessary, as the hour of adjourn ment bad expired thirty minutes ago. Mr. ASHLICY'S motion was agreed to. The clock in the House chamber bad been stopped at ten minutes to twelve for some time. Mr. &maw, (Pa.) in an apparently serious tone, inquired whether it would be in order to move that the clock be allowed to go on. Thisremark occasioned outbursts of laughter. ' The SPRairgi, after giving, a, private order for the clock to be attended to,informed the House ithat it was now in motion. Mr. Jonesor; 014yeered aleeoltitkiit that inasmuch se the do& had refused to go by the hour the 11,use refuse to oby the clock. Ilhe resolution WilS objected to as out of or- I der, amid much laughter. Mr. WICSLIFTE, (K.y..) took occasion t o say 1 that the intelligence from Kentur ky to day that Kentucky is for the Union. She will be the last to go out of it. This announcement was received with wild delight. The friends of the Union both on the floor and on the galleries, clapping their hands and otherwise giving vent to their feelings. Exclamations were heard of "Good I Hurrah for Old Kentucky." The applause was long continued, and a more animated scene is seldom witnessed. Subsequently Mr. WicsaarrE retired without the bar of the House, when crowds of members gathered around him to hear the particulars concerning the good news announced by him. Mr. Dovira, ~N. Y.,) made a personal expla nation relative to his resolution uttered yester day, declaring that at a time when armed re bellion is threatening the integrity of the Union and the overthrow of the government, and all resolutions recommending or designing to make terms with avowed traitors, is either cowardice or treason. lie said be meant nothing personal in connection with that resolution, but meant simply to condemn a principle and not to ques tion the motives, integrity or honesty of any body. Mr. MAY, (Md.,) said that he was absent from the House when the resolution was offered, and did not know of the fact until be saw it in print. Mr. Cox (Ohio) said that when the gentleman from New York offered his offensive resolutions there was a flash of indignation from this side of the House. We who had supported the war policy of the government with a view to peace and union, and those who had the same end without approving of the martial means, felt justly indignant. Hence my resolution. I would, if it were in my control, expunge my resolution, as there was nothing in particular to do and the House was waiting for the Senate. Mr. Courax, (Lad.,) said perhaps it might be interesting for the House to hear from the gen tleman from Minnesota something about the condition of the frontier. Mr. Exayses added: "And also about the red river of the north." [Cries of "agreed."] Mr. AnnaCa, (Bihm.,) then rose and made some remarks about the northwest, alluding to various members of the House in a tone of pleasantry which repeatedly convulsed the House with laughter. The SesAltEß requested the gentleman to suspend his remarks in order to receive the re port of Mr. Klukoo, (111.,) who, with several other members, as a Committee, had just wait ed on the President. Mr. ALIMICH said he would give way for him, but fog, no other living man. [Laughter.] Mr. Butooo then reported that the President had no further communication to make to Congress. The SPeamin then said the hour fixed for the adjournment having arrived I therefore declare this House adjourned sine die. Mr. ALDRICH. Then my remarks are cut oft. [Laughter.] • Thu SPReaER. They will come up at the next session as unfinished business. The members then separated, all evidently in good humor. FROM THE FEDERAL CAPITAL. Confirmation of Brigadier Generals and Regimental Officers. A RETIRED ARMY LIST WasiiniaToN, August 6 The Senate was in executive session until twelve o'clock last night. The following nom inations for Brigadier Generals, in addition to those heretofore announced, were it is said con firmed : Generals Hurlbut, McCleanand, Schenck, Grant, Baker, Lyon, Cor, rientlss, Anderson, King, Seigle and Couch. The prin cipal officers for the new army regiments were also confirmed, while the rejections comprised only a few of the minor appointments. Lieut. Colonel Emory' s nomination was also confirmed. The President and sevtral members of the Cabinet were at the Capitol this morning, the former attending to the approval of bills. • A recent law of Congress authorizes the Sec retary of War and the becretariof the Navy, under the direction and approval of the Presi dent, to assemble a Board todetermine the facts as to the nature and occasion of the disability of such officers as appear incapable of perform ing military service, with a view to their re tiring from the army and marine corps. The report of the board is to be subject to the President's approval. Those who may be re tired are to receive the pay proper of the high eat rank held by them at the time of their re tirement, and tour rations per day, without any other pay, emoluments or allowance's. But an exception is made in favor of Brevet Lieutenant General Scott. Should he be retired under this act, it shall be without reduction on his current pay, subsistence or allowance. THE KENTUCKY, -ELECTION, Large Union Majorities—A Reucon tre at the Galt House. LOIIIEIVIILE, August 5 The Legislative elections took place to-day. Mr. Harvey, the editor of the Democrat, was elected over ex•Goveruor Mieriwether by from 900 to 1,100 majority, which represents the Union majority in Jefferson county. • The Union majority in the city is about 6000. Judge Buckner, is elected over James B. Clay, in Fayette county, by from 609 to 600 majority. Richard C. Anderson, (Union,) a nephew of Gen. Anderson, of Sumter fame, has been elect ed in Franklin county, by from 300 to 400 ma jority. J. W. Jacobs, (Union,) is elected in old Hall county. The returns thus far indicate a Union major ity EIS large or larger than at the last Congres sional election. All was quiet at the polls. A pistol rencontre occurred at the Galt House late this afternoon, between Edward Crutb.field and Thomas Savage, werein both were severely injured, the latter probably fatal. Skirmish with the Rebel Cavalry at Point of Rooks• Three Killed and Five Wounded. BANDY HOOK, August 5.
