THE PENNSYLVANIA SOLDIERS A FLAN TO FACILITATE THE REMITTANCE OF THEIR PAY TO .THEIR FAMILLEFI AT HOME The Committee appointed by Gov. Curtin, consisting of Senator Cowan, E. C. Humes, of Bellefonte, and Thomas E. Franklin, of Lancas ter, to proceed to Washington, and while there devise and adopt some plan for the protection of the soldiers from.this state who desire to avail themselves of the allotment system in provid ing for their families. The Commissioners have made the following . REPORT. CITY OF WASHINGTON, Nov. Ist, 1861. His Exow.T.P.NGY A. G. CURTIN, Governor of Penn sylvania, The undersigned commissioners appointed by your Excellency, charged with the duty of visit ing the several regiments of Pennsylvania vol imteers now in the field in the vicinity of this city, and to make such arrangements as in their judgment may be necessary to facilitate said volunteers in assigning portions of their pay as provided by law, beg leave respectfully to report that we met for the purpose of our appointment in the city of Washington, on Tuesday the 29th ult., and found on application at the War De partment that a plan had been adopted, pro viding for the distribiltion among all the regi ments of volunteers, of allotment rolls, by which the members of each company are ena bled to assign such portion of their pay es they may designate to their friends at home, and to appoint a trustee to receive and distribute the same. The Adjutant General .has undertaken to furnish three of these rolls to each company of volunteers in the service, and the Paymaster General will promptly forward to each trustee so appointed, the aggregate amount allotted by the company selecting him, to be by him dis tributed among the beneficiaries. This plan has been matured by the department in con junction with the sanitary commission, who have given it their sanction, and as the amount allotted will thus be transmitted without loss or expense to•the soldier, and as it is presumed the trustees named will generally act without com pensation, it appeared to us to present the safest, simplest and most effective mode which had been suggested for accomplishing the ob ject intended. We therefore approved and adopted it. In order to ascertain whether any thing in addition was requisite to promote its practical working, we visited several divisions of the army near this city. The largest body tif Pennsylvania volunteers collected together is M General McCall's command, to which we, first proceeded. General McCall was absnet, but General Reynolds received us with marked kindness and courtesy, and entering heartily into the spirit of our mission, invited the sev eral eolonels in his command to his quarters, to receive our explanations and make any sug gestions they thought proper in reference to it. They all approved the proposed plan and prom ised to give it their attention and co-operation. We called also in company with General Rey nolds upon a number of colonels in General McCall's division with like effect. We after wards visited General F. J. Porter at his quar ters, and communicatel with the several Penna. Colonels in his force with the same favorable result. There seemed, therefore, little further for us to do than to impress upon our citizen soldiers the importance of their attention to the subject, and to urge them to devote as large a portion of their pay to their families as they can spare from their own immediate wants. As it was not possible to meet them in person, we have prepared a circular addressed to them, of which we have the honor to enclose a copy herewith. This circular we propose to have distributed among all the volunteers from our State, and have for that purpose obtained an order of the Secretary of War directing the Ad .jutant General to deliver two hundred copies to each regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers in the 5ervice.................-- • In conclusion, we take pleasure in acknowl edging the attention and kindness of all the Officers of the Government upon whom we • had occasion to call in connection with our mission, and have the honor to be, • Very truly and respectfully, Your obedient servants, EDGAR COWAN, THO'S. E. FRANKLIN, E. C. HUMES. Gov. Curtin, in acknowledgement of his re port, replied as follows to the members of the Commission: Exmounvz Citaxsza, Harrisburg, Nov. 4, 1861. GENTLEaum :—I desire to express to you the thanks of the people of the Commonwealth, for the manner in which you have performed your patriotic mission to the volunteers at Washing ton and on the line of the Potomac. The plan you propose is plain and practical, and I have no doubt that, under it, a large por tion of the pay of the men from Pennsylvania, now bearing arms in defence of the legally con stituted authorities of the federal government, will be secured for their families. With sentiments of high regard, Your obedient servant, A. G. CURTIN Hon. EWAN. COWAN, " THOMAS E. FneNraor f E. C. HUMES, Esq., annmissioners, 81T The following is the circular issued by the Commissioners and addressed to the Pennsyl vanians. It commends its own eloquence in its truthfulness : CIRCULAR TO THE PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS SOLDIERS : Having been commissioned by the Governor of Pennsylvania to visit your camps, and make arrangements, in order. that that part of your pay which you might assign for the benefit of your families at home, should be readily and safely transmitted to them, we came to Washington city on the 29th inst., and then found that the War Department of the general government had already perfected a scheme, which we expectwill serve the purpose intended as well as any other. There then remained nothing further for us to do, unless it were to urge upoti you the propriety of sending home as much of your pay as would be possible in view of your wants in the service. The American soldier is, in the highest sense of the term an American itim—equal before the laws with all the rest of us. He is unquestion ably the first in the affections of the people ; and having imperilledhilf tor ns upon. the field of battle, we ever codsider him as first en titled to favor. When peace returns, and the proud flag of the Union floats in triumph every where throughout the Republic, then our sol diers will came back to take the first rank in civil life, and receive the civic honors and dis tinctions all will be proud to bestow upon them. Every hardship suffered on the march or bivouac—every danger braved, and every wound received in the field of combat, will be reckoned by a grateful people as qualifications for the high places in the nation—and will all be rewarded then, if our soldiers are true to themselves. Your life is now one of difficulty, and the snares of the tempter are set about you. The sutler's stall and the gambler's table invite you. Deprivation of home and its restraining influ ences, leaves you weaker than before ; and, ex cited, bewildered by the revel of a multitude of men, you may go away captive to the vices that will curse you after life, and unfit you for the honors that are in store for you. Against all this we endeavor to warn you. In the same spirit, too, the government and the laws seek to protect and preserve you—for in your safety and success we are all saved. In other countries the pay of the soldier is merely nominal ; so trifling that it is not sup posed sufficient to purchase him the means of vicious indulgence. Here with us, however, the rule is the reverse, and the pay allowed the American soldier is so liberal, that it is a substi tute for the earnings of an American citizen—it is commensurate with his rank and station in the Republic, and it is presumed he will apply it to the same purpose as if he had earned it at home. The law supposes, and prudence would dic tate then that this pay should be sent home to your families, in order, it necessary, that it may be applied to their support and maintenance; or if it is not, then that it be laid away or invested till the owner retruns. If you have a mother who has nursed you, or a wife who has solaced you, they will be the fit custodians of your treasure ; and you will have , surely, more con solation in reflecting that it has fallen in loving laps like theirs, than if it had gone to engorge the maws of the harpies who hover about your camps, to batten upon your vices. You will also be entitled, on your return from the service, each to one hundred and sixty acres of land out of the public domain. This, to those of you who are landless. is in tended by the government as a home for you and your children ; and if you can now lay away a fund for the purpose of improving and stocking it as a farm, will put you in a position which the most favored people in the world cannot hope for elsewhere, and which, as a general rule, limits the desires of all men. Cer tainly no one can be more independent, or bet ter fitted to perform the duties of a . free man, under a Republican form of government, than one who owns the soil from which he derives a livelihood. We hope that the_suggestiou will not be unheeded by men whose race is prover bial for providence and thrift. In conclusion, we have only to say to you, that Pennsylvania not only expects but believes you will do your duty, as well in seconding the wishes of the State for your own individual well being and that of your families, as in defending the Constitution and Government of the Union, against the rebellious war now waging for its overthrow. She trusts you all feel that you now stand face to face with the greatest ques tion which has ever arisen in the world—the question of the ability of man for self-government ! If you cannot maintain your present Government, free as it is from every charge of tyranny and oppres sion, you cannot maintain any under the republican form, and we must go backto despotism again, to find peace and security in our depredation and disgrace. But if we behave ourselves as men worthy of our ancestors and the inheritance they left us, then we will stand foremost among the nations of the earth, and achieve for our selves a destiny still more wonderful than our ,past history seemed to indicate. The proud fabric reared by our Revolutionary fathers, be im' g proof against the shock of this great rebel. lion—strengthened and cemented by the blood of their children—will then remain impregnable for ages, and unborn millions will rejoice in the .enjoyment of the highest earthly blessing— :Civil, LIBERTY. EDGAR COWAN. THOS. E: FRANKLIN, E. C. HUMES. Washington, Nov. 1, 1861. Sketch of Commodore Samuel F, Dupont. Commodore Samuel F. Dupont, the com mander of the naval forces of the great expe dition, is a native of the State of New Jersey, but received his appointrneat into the Navy from the State of Delaware, of which he is a citizen. An original entry into the service of his country was on the 19th of December, 1845; he has been, therefore, nearly forty-six years in the service, and his forty-sixth anniversary may bring him more glory and raise him higher in tha estimation of the people, both at home and abroad, than all the previous ones. tio, if the present expedition is successful, there cannot be too much said in praise of those having com mand.. Up to the present time Commodore Dupont has spent nearly twenty-two years on sea, eight and a half years in active duty on shore, and the balance of his time has been un employed. His present commission bears date September 14, 1855. He was last at sea in May, 1859, and since that time he has been com mandant of the Navy Yard at Philadelphia, where his kindness of manner, together with his strict discipline, won for him many friends. Commodore Dupoint is'a man a little past what is usually termed the prime of life, al though possessed of all the vigor, bodily strength and ambition that usually character izes younger men, and thoie qualities, joined to his experience, pronounce him to be the man we need. In his personal appearance the Com modore is a person that would at once attract attention, having all the easy grace of a finished gentleman together with a commanding look that betokens perseverance Wand a determina tion to successfully carry out any undertaking that he may be engaged in. - He is just the man to command respect and to deserve it.— There is no doubt but that he will guide the expedition with safety to its destination, and return crowned with success. A CmatolatAN rs TROUBLE. —The Rev. Freder ick T. Broun has resigned the chaplaincy of the 7th Ohio regiment, in consequence of a difficul ty with the commanding officer, Colonel Tyler, and he writes a long letter to the Cleveland Herald; setting forth his troubles. Mr. Broun says that his offence was the publication of a letter giving an account of the battle at Cross Lanes, and that the Colonel was offended with some of his statements'. This is one side of the story. Colonel:Tyler has given no counter statements as yet.

One of the batteries on the Maryland shore has been completed, and the range of some of our 32-pounder parrot guns was tried on the rebel steamer George Page yesterday. Three shots struck her, with what effect is not known, as the water being being very high, she was enabled to run up Quantico Creek out of range. A detachment of seamen from the yard this morning attended the funeral of John Walters, one of the unfortunate boat's crew fired upon at the time of the death of Capt. Ward, and who then received a bullet shot •in his breast, under the effect of which he has lingered until the present time. THE WAR IN WESTERN VLRGINIA, Nothing Later from the Fight at Gauley Bridge. Gen. Floyd's forces opposite Camp Tompkins are not less than 4,000, but how many are at Gauly Bridge, four miles this side, is not known. The telegraphic communication by the Kanawha line are interrupted and the casualities cannot be ascertained. There has been no communication with Rosencrans' head-quarters since Friday afternoon. The operator at Camp Tompkins at that time reported fighting going on at Gauley, but gave no particulars, and immedi ately afterward the line broke. The Kanaha line was working to Camp En yart, twelve miles above Charleston, on Satur day, but nothing was known there of affairs at Gauley. A boat that left Charleston at 7 o'clock on 'Sunday morning has arrived at Gallipolis but brings no information. LATER FROM EUROPE. The Captain of the Pirate Sumter at Liverpool. The steamship Jura from Liverpool on the 24th, via Londonderry on the 25th, arrived here at four o'clock this morning. In conse quence of the derangement of the telegraphic wires between here and New York, the trans mission of her advices was delayed till this evening. The steamer Fulton from New York arrived out on the 24th. Capt. Simmers, of the privateer Sumter had reached Liverpool on the steamer Edinburgh.
