BURGEONS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
REGIMENTS.
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. Nam nom Wereiscrms indicates
that the rebels are constructing rafts at Aquia
Creek, and In several small creeks emptying in
to the Potomac above that place. If this be
true, the rebels have not fully abandoned their
purioxie of crossing below into Maryland.

A WORD IN SEASON.
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.

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.
