Considerable misunderstanding exists as to the qualifications necessary to secure the ap pointment of surgeon and assistant surgeon, at the hands of the Governor. This is unneces sary, as the law on the subject is explicit and definite. It provides that no surgeon or assist ant surgeon shall be commissioned by the Governor until after he has been examined by a military board of which the Surgeon-General shall be the head, and by such board declared competent for either the position of surgeon or assistant surgeon. This leaves the Governor no discretion in the matter, as he has adopted the rule of making such selections from the list furnished by thisboard. The medical board will meet in this city to-morrow, when another ex amination will be had, and when those thus subjecting themselves to it, must remember that they can only expect an appointment as they axe passed by the medical board. This an nouncement and explanation is deemed sufficient to prevent confusion or disappointment among those thus applying for examination. Surgeon General Smith is now in this city, preparatory to making arrangements for the meeting of this board. Under his direction, the medical staff of the state has already become distinguished for its ability and devotion, and from what we know of the man, it will never suffer in either particular as long as he is at its head. Tau ADVANCE OF Tire FILDBRAL Away into Vir ginia is slow and cautious. Every step is mark ed, every point fixed, every post passed forti fied, while the surroundings aro guarded with a care that renders surprise impossible. We can certainly look for decisive action, of a stupend ous character, every day. God is with the right, and therefore we must triumph 1 The adiance upon Munson Hill, on Saturday night, was unexpected by the people of Washington city. The movement was not made till just at night, and was intended to deceive the rebel leaders. Strange to say, they seemed to be fully aware of our advance, and began to retreat before the advance was commenced. This proves that traitors and spies are still abundant among us, and_many still lurk in the depart ments, who, like Byrd, who fled to Richmond, take every opportunity to aid the rebels. The cause of the retreat of the rebels is still a mys tery. By some it is supposed that they have a large force above at Leesburg and another be low at the mouth of the Occoquan. But some of the shrewdest military critics in Washington city say that the rebel army of the upper Poto niac is a myth, and that their grand army is concentrated between Fairfax Court House or Manassas and the Potomac at or below the mouth of the Occoquan. Mississippi CITY is a little village on the Southern coast of Mississippi, and is an impor tant point in the Sound formed by a range of islands extending from Mobile Bay to Lake Borgne. The principal of these islands, Ship Island and Cat Island, are understood to have been fortified by the rebels, and it was thought that they afforded perfect protection to the wa ter communication between New Orleans and Mobile, which has been carried on through the Sound. But, if the Cincinnati story is true, the Federal fleet, without molesting the islands, has quietly gone to the main land and struck a blow where it was not ex pected. If there is sufficient force to hold the place, the seizure of it is as important as was that of Fort Hatteras. It gives us a good point from whence to commence operations either towards New Orleans or Mobile, by land as well as by water. If, simultaneously with this, an important point has been seized on the coast of Texas, as is reported, the people of the Gulf States will have their hands full. MU Nor= OF NORTH CAROLINA who affili tate with traitors, are panic stricken with the success of the federal forces at Hatteras Inlet, while those who are firm in their allegiance to the federal authorities, take courage from the fact, and are organizing themselves to strike a blow for the federal nationality, Snout.

If this be true, the rebels have not fully abandoned their purioxie of crossing below into Maryland.

THE rouncer, DUTY OF THE PEOPLE IN THE HOUR OF POLITICAL F,MBABEARDLENTB• When the People's Union Convention assem bled and nominated the ticket which we have pl a ced at the head of our columns, it was with a sincere desire of promoting the prospects of suc cess in our present great struggle with rebellion, and to put an end, if possible, to the agitation of vexed questions, the raising of new issues, or the investigation of the merits of rival candi dates for positions involving no particular test of principle beyond that of personal probity and devotion to the public interests. In order to insure the success of these ends, and unite the people in political action for political triumph in the hour of our national and of course political danger, men of all parties were asked to Join both in the election of dele gates and the settlement of candidates. And that the people acquiesed in this determination there can be no doubt, because the nominations we have presented to them are universally con ceded to be composed of the very best men in the county. The people were and still are anx ious that these nominations should be endorsed at the ballot boxes. They were solicitous that this should be done without division, without excitement, and without any of the party acri mony heretofore attending political campaigns. But in this patriotic determination they are sought to be frustrated by a few disappointed office seekers and political agitators, who have plotted to take advantage of the unanimity of the public in favor of the Union, by making that Union a plan for their own endorsement, and that solicitude a plea for giving aid and com fort to the enemy by defeating men who were nominated on the issue of supporting the state and national administrations in their dealing with traitors. Aa the case now stands, this is the issue, and the people must be reminded of the fact. If the People's Union ticket is not elected—if such men as Dr. Heck are returned to the Legislature—and loyal counties like glo rious old Dauphin are bowed to the dust before domestic traitors and a home sympathy for re bellion, treason in the south will be reassured of aid and approval from the north, while the government we now possess will be absorbed by the oligarehY that has already destroyed so much of our national prosperity, impeded our national progress, and impaired our national honor. We ask the people of Dauphin county to re member these issues, forced upon them by those who seek political agitation at this juncture. We ask the freemen of Dauphin county who supported Abraham Lincoln, not to desert him now, when most he needs encouragement and support. Let the People's Union ticket receive a unanimous support, and the Union of the people will be complete for the protection of the Union of the States. LITTLE COIfII9RTS. The government furnishes the "outfit" of each soldier ; but besides the clothing and camp equipage thus provided, there are some smaller matters which contribute greatly to the comfort of men, and which government cannot be ex pected to prepare. These articles, a lady cor respondent suggests, might easily, and with little expense, be made by'patriotic women, and she proposes that associations be formed for these purposes, every society devoting itself to the service of a particular regiment, and taking care that, so long as the war lasts, this regiment which is its especial charge s.. be supplied with all these "little comforts" which the men may need. Foremost among these, and contributing very greatly to the daily convenience of the soldier, is an article known to bachelors and benevolent ladies as a "housewife," and to sailors as a "ditty bag"—a roll, or small sack, containing needles, buttons, thread and scraps of cloth, for mend ing torn or worn clothing. Old campaigners take care to have a very complete and compact arrangement of this kind, but probably few of our volunteers, fresh from homes where mothers, wives and sisters cared for miss ing buttons, are thus provided. The sim plest and consequently the best contrivance for this that I have seen," writes a correspon dent of the New York Evening Pose, "is a little bag of eight-penny calico, six inches wide by four inches deep, with a hem three-quarters of an inch wide at the top and one draw-string of colored cotton tape. On the outside of this bag, and about one and a half inches below the top, is sewed a flap of cloth for needles, and on the under side of this flap are stuck six No. 5 needles, 'blunts' or 'betweens,' never 'sharps.' Inside the bag are put twelve black bono but tons (let them be of the best and strongest) and twelve metal buttons, such as are used on pantaloons, a few skeins of flax thread (black, white and gray,) cut and plaited and secured at each end by a piece of the thread wound firmly around it, and a little roll of fine strong linen twine, say two or three yards long. If the materials are bought at wholesale, this bag and its contents will not cost over ten or twelve cents. A small paper containing a few verses from the Bible, or a well-selected hymn or prayer, could be added—it might at tract some careless eye, or touch some heart that had forgotten its early training. When these things are in the bag, draw the string and then roll up the bag and wind the string tight ly around it, and you..have a compact and safe roll that can be tossed into a haversack as care lessly as any man could wish. " There is another article which the sick will find invaluable, particularly as the weather grows colder—l mean what are called "soft slippers." They are made of twilled colored flannel, lined with colored Canton flannel, and with soles made of pieces of Brussels or velvet carpeting. One yard of flannel, costing thirty : eight cents, will make three or four pairs, ac cording to the size—the lining will cost ten cents per yard—the carpeting will cost nothing for every housekeeper has plenty of little pieces that she sighs over yearly as the hot-bed of mothdom, and s she will be only too glad to find so good a use for what she has not liked to throw away. The uppers and linings must be cut exactly alike, basted together, and then bound all around with car pet binding or worsted braid. I think the latter the strongest. 7141 solo which OW CM with Canton flannel, must be bound in the same manner, and then the two sewed firmly to gether with strong flax threads, the carpet side being outside, as it wears the longest. Thus our slippers will cost but about fifteen cents per pair. It may be well to mention that they cut most economically by being in two pieces, with a seam at each side, as a lady's slipper is cut. Let them be large, and particularly let the sole be very wide." This correspondent continues : "I confess that I seldom think of anything these days but the war, and of what can be done to help those who are so nobly helping us ; and I know there are hundreds and thousands of women who feel as I do. Let such form themselves into clubs, and each club devote itself to one particular regiment. Let one lady in each club be ap pointed to write to the colonel of the regiment selected, and inquire what comforts of this kind are most needed by his men. Let the men be told by him that it is to the sym pathy and industry of these ladies that these com forts are due, and it will cheer and encourage them to bear their hardships more bravely when they realize that they are remembered at home with affectionate interest, which manifests itself little deeds of kindness, ' as well as ' little words of love.l These ladies will feel a double interest in watching the conduct and success of what they will soon learn to regard as their own regiment. By exercising this living bond of interest, something of the old feeling of chival ry will be revived—a chivalry modified and en lightened by Christianity." AN . EXCELLENT NO VEMENT. The regents of the University of Michigan are, considering a plan for setting apart an annual appropriation of seven thousand dollars for the establishment and maintenance of a military school in connection with the University. The proposition came before the Board of Regents in the form of the following preamble and resolu tion, introduced by Mr. Mclntyre : "Wasases, We now have before us a demon stration of the fact that it is not safe for any government, however excellent or powerful it may be, to neglect entirely the military educa tion of its people, and can see clearly that in time of peace it is wise to prepare for war. Now, as a matter of economy to the state, and that her troops may be supplied with competent offi cers, and the work of preparing volunteers and new recruits for efficient service may be speedily and cheaply accomplished, the Board of Regents, under the conviction that this work can be more economically performed for the state in this Uni versity, where civil engineering, the higher mathematics, the "modern languages, the natural sciences and other studies connected with a mi litary education are now taught, than anywhere else in the state, to adopt the following : "Resolved, That as soon as the state shall add to the University fund the sum of $lOO,OOO, from which the University shall derive a per manent additional annual income of $7,000, the Board of Regents will establish in the Uni versity a military school, in which shall be taught military engineering and tactics, and all the sciences and strategies of war." This is a new plan for overcoming the diffi_ unities arising from the want of educated officer a, and it seems to provide a ready and effective means of supplying the deficiency under. which our volunteer forces have labored. The estab lishment of such military schools in connection with our great seminaries of learning would bi volye but a trifling expenditure and be pro ductive of excellent results. BY WWI LATER FROM MISSOURI. NO ATTACK APPREHENDED. Gen. Fremont Actively Preparing. DESPERATE STRUGGLE EXPECTED. ...1110=....., JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. 30 Special dispatches to St. Louis state that there is no intelligence of importance from Booneville, Georgetown, Sedalia or Glasgow, and no apprehensions are felt of any immediate attack on any of those points by the rebels. All reports received from Lexington corro borate the opinion already expressed that the rebels intend to keep their main force there, but it is stated that several bodies, from two hundred to two thousand have left there within a few days past for the north and west, but for what purpose is unknown. Gen. Fremont preserves a strict silence, but he is said to be actively engaged in obtaining the exact number of troops he can command, and organizing plans for the approaching en gagement, for the success or failure of which is to rest his reputation upon, and win or lose his all. Every day arcitiorocused. intennt is fat in illao approaching battle, for it is generally supposed that it will decide the fate of Missouri. Some persons murmur at the delay, but Gen. Fremont is determined to have everything ready before he advances and not to strike a blow be fore he believes it will be effective. The opinion is becoming generally prevalent that the secessionists at Lexington are by no means despicable, but that with their vast numbers and ample ammunition, their confi dence and courage will make a powerful and determined resistance. The pickets of Price's armydescend from Lex ington to within about eight miles of George town. They are stationed very near to each other, and thus the intelligence of all our movements is conveyed to Price's head quarters in the briefest space of time. A telegraph wire was laid to Gen. Fremont's head quarters at Camp Lilly this after:noon. ARREST OF ANOTHER TRAITOR. Caexatrasatmo, Pa., October 1 • Dr. Magill, known as a leader of the seces sionists of Washington county, Maryland, was arrested yesterday at Hag,erstown ' Md., by order of Col. Healy, and was taken to Fort McHenry this morning. He is charged with having been in constant communication with his son-in-law, the notorious Bob Swann of the rebel army. The arrest has created the great est consternation among the resident traitors of Hagerstown. LATER FROM ELIBOPE. Emma PomT, Oct. 1.
