AND WEBER" the following order has been issued by the War Department of the United States, viz WAR Dapeorminfr, September 25, 1861. His Excellency A. G. CURTIN, Governor of Penn sylvania, Harrisburg.

All men now enrolled or mustered into the service of the United States for brigades, regi ments, batteries or companies in the State of Pennsylvania, under the direct authority of the Secretary of ar are placed under the com mand of the Governori of Pennsylvania, who shall organize or re-organize them as he may deem most advantageous to the interests of the General Government 2.

All authorities issued by the War Department for Independent Regiments, subject to the approval of the Governor, which have not been so approved are hereby revoked. Respectfully, SIMON CAMERON, Secretary of War. And, whereas, the President of the United States has, in accordance with the acts of Con gress of the twenty-second and twenty-fifth of July last, made requisitions on the Governor of Pennsylvania for sundry regiments of volun teers, which requisitions are in the course of being filled. Now, therefore, I Andrew G.

The inglorious flight of an ex-Vice President of the United States is thus recorded by the Louisville (Ky.) Journal of the 26th instant : "We learn from Mt. Sterling that on Friday morning, about four o'clock, a buggy contain ing two gentlemen and a negro boy passed through that town, stopping for a few minutes at the house of an ex-official, and took the state road towards the Virginia line. "Several gentlemen met the buggy on the road. One of the travelers was closely muffled and whenever they were about meeting any one the negro boy raised himself so as to cover the muffled figure. One of the secessionists in Mt. Sterling revealed the fact on Friday that John C. Breckinridge had gone through on his way to Virginia or Tennessee. Lincoln's 'Hessian cloak' is forever eclipsed now. "The ex-official at whose house the travelers called was not in Mt. Sterling on Friday night. A number of the state Guard stole a portion of the state arms on Friday, after dark, and start ad on the road the buggy had iaken. 1%4110i Way accompanied Breckinridge , and;• his Corn, panion as a body guard."

MAJOR ABNER DOUBLEDAY Sketch of the Lite of a Fort Sumter hero Abner Doubleday was born June 26, 1819, in the village of Ballston Spa, Saratoga county, N. Y. His father removed the same year to Auburn, and for many years published the Cayuga Patriot. He was twice elected to Con gress, and was a staunch supporter of Jackson's administration. Abner at the age of fourteen was an excellent Latin and mathematical scholar, and organized an evening class of his father's apprentices, which, while proving . useful to them, served to impress his own acquirements more thoroughly on his mind. Hard study having somewhat injured his health, he choose civil engineering as the profession most likely to give him ex ercise in the open air, and his health was speed ily restored and made permanent in the course of his engagements on different parts of the present New York Central Railroad. He was in Canada in 1888, engaged in surveying the route of the Toronto and Lake Huron Railroad, and spent some weeks in the almost unbroken wilderness around Lake Simcoe. The insurrec tion put an end to his stay, and he returned home to find that he had, during his absence, received the appointment of cadet at West Point, where he passed four years. In his class were Itbsecrans, Pope and Meade, now Generals in our army, and Van Dorn, Longstreet, Anderson and Hill, at present Gen erals in the rebel army. He was brevetted sec ond Lieutenant in the Third artillery, and stationed,in various of the forts on our southern seaboard, at' one time serving with Bragg's. company. Promotion was very slow in those days, and it was not till 1845 that he received his commission as full second Lieutenant in the First artillery, which he joined at Fort Preble, Portland, in May. In August, when General Taylor occupied the south bank of the Nueces, he was ordered thither, and arrived at Corpus Cpristi in Septem ber. While stationed there, being one day on duty as officer of the guard, a disturbance took place in a house within our lines, occupied by a Texan desperado, who on the approach of the guard threatened to shoot the first man that crossed his threshhold. The sergeant sent for Lieutenant Doubleday and reported the facts. That officer, ordering his men to remain out side, entered the house alone, and arrested the proprietor, in spite of the guns levelled at his head by him and his fellows, who, however, cowed by his determination, made no further resistance, but quietly submitted. On the ar rival of the army at the Rio Grande his com pany was stationed at Point Isabel, and he con sequently did not participate in the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma. Determined not to remain guarding 1 . 0 - 0 -f and pork. wlittk 11101131Y - Wiiik was to be done, he succeeded in exchanging companies with an other officer, and, as one of the artillery bat talion under olonel Childs, behaved so gallantly in three days fighting at Monterey as to earn the special notice and praise of that officer in his official report. He remained in garrison at Monterey until the enemy appeared in force before our position at Aqua Nueva, when his company was suddenly ordered to equip a heavy battery and hasten to General Taylor's assis tance. General Marshall, with a force of two hundred and fifty men and four guns, started promptly for Banal°, but on reaching the Aine one& pass was met by a messenger with orders from General Taylor to fortify it, as he feared he should not be able to maintain his position at Buena Vista. The men worked all night and the next day, though burning to take part in the battle, whose roar ceuld be distinctly heard though they were thirty-five miles distant.— Another messenger came with orders to hurt forward to Buena Vista, and at six o'clock P. M. they started. The road was very billy, and the guns had to be drawn up the hills with ropes by the men, and let down in the same manner. Whenever General Marshall order ed a halt to rest the soldiers, they continually cried out, "Hasten, hasten forward ; we shall not be in time." Some"of these brave fellows were among the defenders of Fort Sumter. The beacon fires of the enemy showed that the whole country was roused, but they saw no large force until they reached Santa Catalina, where they found large camp fires, whose light showed two thousand cavalry drawn up in bat tle array a short distance from the road. Gene ral Marshall, though embarrassed with a wagon train half a mile long, ordered his men forward, and with lighted matches the artillery was passing in front of the enemy, when the twenty four pounders settled in the mud. An attack was expected, but to the great astonishment of our troops the cavalry looked calmly on until the guns were extricated and the little column was out of.sight. Theygottck the battle ground at .six baying . rat*, the unparalleled :of thirthirty-flue:e. miles in twelve hOure, througha mOuntetnius country. Had Banta Anna renewed the attack, the heavy guns would have silenced his batteries and enabled our troops to maintain their position. On the 3d of March, 1847, Lieutenant Double day was promoted to a first lieutenancy. At the close of the war in 1848 he was stationed at Fort Brown, opposite Matamoras. Some thefts of public property having occurred, the com manding-officer ordered that all persons found without permission on the public grounds should be put in irons in the guard house. Lieutenant Doubleday, on receiving the order, respectfully represented that none but a magis trate had authority to imprison a citizen, but offered to take all unauthorized intruders be fore a magistrate, and make complaint against them for trespass. Being, peremptorly ordered to obey, he declined doing so, and was placed under arrest. The complaint against him was dismissed at the War Department, his conduct, approved, and he was restored to his command which had been removed to New York, where he remained until October, 1850, when his company was sent to Fort McHenry. In 1852 he was married to Miss Mary Hewitt, of Washington. When the Gardiner frauds were discovered, he went to Mexico as one of the commissioners sent there to investigate the case, and his testimony proved very important. In 1854 he was sent to. St. Duncan, Texas, and remained there till his promotion, in March, 1856, to a Captaincy. He was stationed at Fort Monroe till October, 1856, when Jefferson Davis, then Secretary of War, ordered the gar rison to be sent to Florida, so that the fort could be seized by the secessionists in case Fre mont was elected. In 1858, when the Indians were removed from Florida, he was stationed at Fort Moultrie, and remained there until the transfer of the garrison to Fort Sumter in De cember last. As one of the Fort Sumter garrison, his name is now dear to the nation's memory. The de tailed history of the long seige in Sumter has yet to be written ; but it is known that Captain Doubleday was among those of the officers who showed the most uncompromising devotion to the honor of our flag, and his ability and en ergy aided greatly in the preparations for de fence, and in the defence itself. The President has made many Colonels and Brigadier Generals, some of whom, at least, never smelt powder, except at a pigeon match. He has made Captain Doubleday Major of the Seventeenth infantry. Major Doubleday was for some time in the column of General Banks, but was some weeks ago called to Washington and placed on General McClellan's staff, as chief of heavy ordnance in the forts opposite Washington. Thus McClellan shows that he knows the value of a brave and skilful officer. FROM THE FEDER AL CAPITAL. Correspondence of the Telegraph WAffl:maros,-Sept. 30, 1861 From all appearances yesterday, I was satis fied that something would transpire during the night. Regiments by the dozen marched over the Long Bridge the entire day, supplied with two or turee days' ration ; and the countenances of the men betokened-that something startling was to occur. I was woke up this morning by the startling intelligence that Munson's Hill was ours ; and about an hour afterwards I took a stroll up the Avenue to learn the truth of the news, and had the satisfaction of hearing it sa tisfactorily and authoritatively corroborated. The city was in a flame of enthusiasm over the result—old and young rejoicing at the victory achieved without one drop of blood being spilled. It seems that the rebels got wind or suspicioned that Gen. M'Olellan was about to make a move, and retreated in the direction of Munson's Hill, taking with them all their can non but two, which are now in our possession. A Michigan regiment is now at Munson's Hill, where, it is said,' siege . guns of immense calibre will be mounted imiliediately. Four or five prisoners were taken, two of whom were officers —non-committal ones. They would not give information of any importance. Perhaps after they are confined awhile, they will not be so contumacious. Ere this letter reaches its desti nation, you will no doubt hear of a demonstra tion at Mason's Hill, about two miles distant from Munson's Hill, where the rebels are said to be strongly entrenched. Union men in this region still entertain the opinion that they (the rebels) will not make a decisive etand this side of Bull Run. "Tempts mania revelat." We have also news of important and success ful operations by Federal vessels along the coast. We in the Metropolis have no fears of any reverses in arms hereafter. Our force in this vicinity is strong enough to march success fully to the Gulf. The batteries along the Po tomac, if any serious harm is done by them to our vessels, will be silenced in a short time. Before long, poems will be sung all over the North in commemoration of splendid victories achieved, and the old stars and stripes will wave defiantly over every inch of land that has been stolen by traitors from the Government. [COMXIMOATED.] Ma. Berman—you will do me a favor if you will correct an error published in the TELEGRAPH of Saturday last, which, if not done, may possi bly do me a great injury. In your report of the proceedings of the Union County meeting held in the court house on Friday afternoon, to settle a Union County ticket, you say I retorted sharply to Mr. Rutherford, by reminding him that my Union sentiments could not be doubled, as I had "four sons in the army." That is incorrect, I did not say so. I said I was opposed at this time to party nominations, that I believed the time had come to lay party names aside, and all unite in nominating a ticket without reference to party names—true and *honest Union men, that will support the administration ; and if the chair would again put the question on the adoption of the report, I had not the least doubt that we would not only carry it by a large majority in the meet ing, but could elect the whole ticket in October; that I had four votes in my .family, (I have only three sons : the youngest served three months, and is willing to serve longer; the oldest is now commanding one of Campbell's batteries, in which he volunteered for three years ; the third is home, sick,) and I can command more votes at the election than any poor man in Harris burg. If the chair would take the vote over again, and this meeting do what is right, I was determined to exert all the feeble efforts God had given me, to elect the ticket and aid the State and National Administration inputting an end to this cruel rebellion. I did then say that, in order to test the voice of the meeting fairly, I would move to reconsider the vote on the adoption of the committee. I made the mo tion, and on the question being put by, the chairman, it was almost unanimously decided in the negative. I felt satisfied with the decision of).the-qtsestioni and *et ; give the, ticket, my hearty suppokt. • , BeePectfuilY your% etc. W. Ben. PRICE ONE CENT. BY TELEGRAPH. Later From Washington.
