Wednesday Morning, October 9, 18
TUB-LAST CARD.
The Pcdriot and Union attempts a last lie this
morning, pee:tiller to its individual editors and
its political reputation. The declination of Henry
Wein was made m hie own hand writing—while we
never spoke a word to Mr. Selker on the subject of
declining as a candidate on the mongrel ticket. This
brief denial of a bold falsehood is sufficient
where the Patriot is known.
SORB OP otra LEGAL vuxotroxeunss connected
with the government claim that under the con
fiscation act of the late session of Congress no
slave of a rebel master is set free, but that the
ownership is simply transferred from the master,
to the government, as in the case of a confis
cated vessel. This new doctrine is now in vogue
among a class of prominent politicians and l offi
cials. According to ttieir interietation of the
law, the government. is likely to-become, a gi
gantic slaveholder. If tide be the oak, the
Congress which passed the confiscation act can
and will amend it. But in spite of the ()Pinion
of prominent pro-slavery lawyers, the gentle
men who drafted the law claim that thereis not'
room for a doubt as to its meaning, and that the
novel, strained, interpretation was invented for
pro-slavery purposes. .
COLONIL C. GLans, formerly a resident of this
city, and Sheriff of Dauphin county, died` in St.
Louis on the 23d of September, in the 82d year of
his age. He was asoldierin the war of 1812, and
for gallant service at the battle of Baltimore,
was made a Paymaster in the 11. S. army,. but
gave up that position for the more congenial
business of civil pursuits. The St. Louis press
speak very highly of Col. Gleim, as a useful
and enterprising citizen; and a most exemplary
man in %Whit relations: His last illness was
severe and'protracted, but at the close, his life
passed *An* . and softly away, a fitting con
clusion.tosn early career of singular purity and
goodness.
Ws ream the government gets as much in
formation from the south, by way of the Nor
folk and Fortress Monroe "flag of truce"
packets, as the rebels draw, of our own move
ments, by the same source. These flags, we
have noticed, grow more numerous whenever
there is a rumor of action on our side ; and as
our commanders submit to their arrival' and de ,2
parture, and receive and return probably about
an equal number of passengers each way, there
is every reason to believe that the information
conveyed ; in this way by our spies is at least as
valuable to Was that of the insurgent's spies is
to them. Otherwise flags of truce would be
abolished—A least that fashion of them which
prevails near Fortress Monroe.
Gas. Woor, is expected shortly to proceed to
the west on a' tour of inspection. The idea
started by several journals that the moment
General Wool arrives within the Department of
the West he will take command of it because'
he outranks Fremont is a great mistake. He
does not outrank Fremont Wool is a Major
General by brevet, and only draws pay 'as a Brig
adier General. Fremont is a Major General in
rank and paY, and was made such in the regu.
lar army by President Lincoln sometime ago.
Gas..Faimoar declines to make any further
small ordsolated movements against the rebels
in Missouri, and is now engaged in arranging
plans for a , grand attack, •in which he intends .to
stake the COMM of law and order in Mimonri as
well as his own reputation as a man and a sol
dier. He,b now' daily in consultation with his
Generals of divisions, who unanimously approve
his plan for a future great' battle.
Ws ' i sms . from ungnestionable authority
that Mr. Want late United. States i:liiniatei•
China, who has been reported, by some of our
journals, as, bearer of despatches for the Confed
erate government to Europe, has, in truth, been

AN APPEAL 20 TEE PUBLIC.
The sanitary commission of Washington city,
and the Quarter Moister Gener4 of aro Army,
have issued a circular lettei to the people
of the United States, which must not be
unheeded at this time by the humane, benevo
lent and patriotic ladies of the land. The sani
tary commission of Washington city have as-
Burned a daty such as has never i been digharged
by any body of men in this country, and in
order that they may succeed in this atupenduous
and commendable lal . mr, they must , be aided by
the contributions and sustained by the encour
agement of the loyal men and women of tie
country. It_ is impossible for the government
to undertake and provide for the humane treat
ment of the sick and wounded soldiers. How
ever willing and able it is to do so, the organi
zation of the army, its peculiar disposition in
camp and on the march, render it impossible for
those in command to superintend details with
'which they 'ire unacquainted, and which, in
•
peaco and in . society, are appropriately left to
Of

bands of women. We quote from the circular

PENNSYLVANM'S QUOTA OF TROOPS;
I::I
Siiine of our eastern cotemporaries with those
in'the west who take their hints from these jour
nalists, appease their own disappointments by
assailing Pennsylvania whenever they find that
they are failing in their engagements or becoming
derelict in their'dtity. So far as the authorities
or people of Pennsylvania are concerned; they
neither seek to disparage or embarrass the mili
tary organization or operations of their loyal
sister commonwealths, nor should they be sub
jected to the bitter spites which ignorance and
envy always engender in the bosom of the dis
appointed. Becam Pennsylvaisiahai exhibited
the most imprecendented - energy in this crisis is
no reason that thoie Who cannot compete with
her in the contributionefinenitihotddseek to de
stroy her nsefulnessby misrepresenting the facts
in regard to her Militarkresourcaand.armed cur
pacities. Becarale this ha's been 'dOne, "we are
forced to make the statement now, as briefly as
possible for reasons centrolled by 'the caution
of the departments at the state capital, that
the quota of Pennsylvania, demanded by the
last prOchuriatiOn frbin the President, is 'eistirily
full. We havethe men at 'Washington, in camp in
this state ready to Marsh, anel'ort the march by .Ortkrs
of the tar DejM4ment, to . Maim up our inn
compliment as fixed by the, quota, in the.num
ber called by& last piciolimation isf•the
President, and these, too, composed of the
very beat material, .both in- men, arms. and
equiprdents' that have yet been oentributit
the; Federal Government.
We diem this statement thus briefly made
due to the dignitfand loyalty of the people of
Pennsylvania. It is a just tribute of fact also to
thenneeasing energy and iniloinitable
verance of Gov. Curtin, who has devoted him
self exclusively to the success:- at least of that
part of his dnty in this contest, whichrelates to
th,e influence and usefulness Pennsylvania shall
wield and extrefie. - .

Sunday and War—Four Great. 'Battles.
It is a curious fact that more great battles
have been fought on Sunday than on any other
day of the weele; and, at our troops edmmenced
the fight at Bull's Rim en Sunday, many who
are inclined to bd sriperlatitioUs have' Iltersuaded
themselves our bad luck was owlog_to our vio
lation of the day. If Gen. Patterson, however,
tad advanced with his forces, as he should
have done, the result would have been very
different.
The British attacked Gen. Jackson at New
Orleans, on Sunday, in the year 1815. They
were repulsed with the loss of some three thou
sand omen. Our loss was trifling. Our victory
was owleg to the fact that we lied oritton bales
for &breastwork, and had the best riflemen in
the world.

The great battle of Blenheim was fought on
Sunday, in 1704. The Duke of Marlborough,
at the head of the British army, and Us brave
and powerful ally, " our good Princelingene,"
commenced the attack on the immeitie forces

dreadful. The French were defeated with a
loss of from thirty to forty thousand men.
The tattle'of Blenheim decided the fate of
Europe, and placed the Pnifeeihait 'religion in
