Eeitgrapl OUR PLATFORM rim UNION-TILE CONSFITUTION-AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE. LAW. HARRISBURG. PA Tuesday Afternoon, November 5,1861. HONORABLE TESTIMONY. The New York Tribune, with its cotemporaries of Gotham, have been, and in many instances still are, prone to depreciate the great resources of men and measures with which Pennsylvania has sustained herself and the federal authority in the stupendous crisis in which we are in volved. But with the abundant proof of the ability of the old Keystone State, comes the re cognition of her claims, and with these estab lished, comes also the admission of the ability and eminence of the statesman whom Penn sylvania indicated as her preference for a voice and a vote in the Cabinet. The follow ing allusion of the Tribune to the two Secretaries, respectively of the War and Trea sury Departments, proves better than we can state, the change working in the regard of the New York press for Pennsylvania, her interests and her statesmen, and we print it as a compli ment of that honest and candid character with which the great labors of Secretary Cameron are being commended by not only the press but the people of the loyal states. Here is the lan guage of the Tribune of to-day : SECRETARY CAMERON The Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Treasury arrived in this city on Saturday night, both on business connected with their Departments. They timed their visit to the journey of Gen. Scott, and made that the oc casion of a demonstration of personal respect to the veteran commander on his way to retire ment from his labors and his rank. Mr. Chase's visit was connected with the in terests of the Financial Department over which he so ably presides. Secretary Cameron in spected yesterthy the fortifications which guard our harbor. He will go to-day to West Point, and thence to Springfield in Massachusetts to examine the United States Armory. He will probably continue his journey to Boston to in spect the defenses of that city against attack from the sea. Mr. Cameron's great labors in raising, equip ing, and organizing the army with which the rebellion is to be crushed—the vigilance, wis dom, and practical ability with which he has guarded the public interests while providing for the sudden expansion of the military power of the nation from eighteen thousand men to half a million, are at last recognized by the country, and will soon be matter of history.— At the age of 63, and in the possession of an ample fortune acquired in business enterprises, the secretary took charge of the War Depart ment at a time when its duties were more bur densome than ever rested upon any War Minis ter of France in the years of her greatest strug gles, whether under the Republic or under the Empire. T i The National impatience has demand ed impossibilities. When the magnitude of the contest we are engaged in has been appreciated by the people, and their determination to suc ceed has settled into an inflexible moral princi ple, justice will be done to Simon Cameron's ad ministration of his enormous trust. THE CHIEFTAIN'S BUGLE. McClellan's speech to the Pennsylvanians who presented him a sword has a right proper ring in it, like his address to the soldiers—" no de feat, no retreat." The substance of it was, that "the war cannot be long, though it may be desperate." That is what the country wants; what the Administration should proclaim ; what our Generals and their troops should execute. McClellan has one indication of merit, at least, and that is modesty. He admits that he has not yet been tried ; he advises that the honors and rewards intended for him should be reserved until after events have proved his worthiness; but at the same time he evinces the Spirit which commands success. All that he asks of the country is, confidence, forbearance, patience. These we are sure he will have, and particularly when he promises in return, en ergy, determination, and if needs be, his heart's blood. It is not the function of a commander to talk; a good one, as General Burnside said at the breakfast to the Massachusetts Twenty-fifth the other day, would rather fight a battle than make a speech: but when he does talk we like to hear such, brief, brisk, energetic sentences as McClellan utters. They are like blasts from a bugle, which animate and fortify our courage. A MANLY LETTER The following letter, addressed by Governor Curtin to Lieutenant-General Winfield Scott, is in obedience to the warm impulses which ever animate the Governor of Pennsylvania, and which will be perused with pleasure by the people of the commonwealth : Ex.Ecurnrs CHAMBER, Harrisburg, Nov. 6, 1861 Sra :—I regret exceedingly that you should have passed through Harrisburg on Saturday last, without my having any knowledge of your ap proach or presence, as it would have given me sincere pleasure to have had the opportunity of plying the official and personal homage to which your eminent patriotism and services entitle you, and which every citizen of Pennsylvania would rejoice to offer. Although infirmity of health has compelled your retirement, we shall not cease to cherish the memory of your glory, a n d hope that you will long be preserved as a living example of the highest public spirit and gal lantry, and that our young men may learn from your career that virtue and merit lead surely to the affection of a grateful country. With sentiments of the highest esteem, I am, sir, your obedient servant. A. G. CURTIN. Lieutenant-General Winfield Scott, &c., &c SUBSISTENCE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA VOL UNTEERS. Since the breaking up of the camps of instruc tion for the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, estab lished under the Act of 15th May, 1861, the commonwealth has supplied subsistence only to the troops concentrated at Camp Curtin. With the sanction of Gov. Curtin an arrangement has recently been effected between Commissary General W. W. Irwin and Capt. Du Barry, the U. S. Commissary stationed in this city, under which the Federal Government assumes the subsistence of the latter camp, in addition to that of others through the state already within their charge. For the present, therefore, the functions of the Pennsylvania Commissairat have ceased, Captain Du Barry announced that his department could only receive the troops as they were mustered into the service, but Commissary Irwin was anxious to effect an arrangement by which all the troops, those who were in camps for instruction, those ar riving daily, and those mustered into the United States service, could be subsisted alike by the Commissary General's Department of the U. S. Army. On referring the subject to the proper bureau in the War Department, the proposition of Gen. Irwin was adopted, while the U. S. Commissary General . also concluded to subsist all the troops thus received under the contract already in operation. for subsisting those new regularly in the service in Camp Cameron. This arrangement was resolved upon before a notice could be served on the proper officer at this post, who, without any knowledge of such a plan having been adopted by the Commissary General's Department at Washington, had asked for proposals for sub. sisting the troops thus to be received, and had also received bids from various persons propo sing to subsist the troops according to their terms. These bids, in consequence of this order, were transmitted to the Commissary General, who, in view of his order in regard to subsisting all the troops under the contract al ready in operation, annulled the proposals here referred to as having been asked for by an officer of the Department in this city. The old contractors are responsible men—the bids and the manner in which they subsist the camps are both liberal and just, and therefore, when thus considered, there was no necessity of mak ing a new contract, either on the policy of economy on the part of the government, or an act of justice to the soldiers who were to be subsisted. The transfer of the subsistence from the state to the federal authorities, relieves the former of all further labor or responsibility. Hereafterthe troops will look to the federal authorities for subsistence, and those authorities alone will be responsible for their care and comfort. Under the ,old arrangement it was ascertained that the military fowl was being exhausted with out the prompt return necessary to a just regard for the interests of the common wealth. Hence the necessity and determination in having the plan adopted of the federal au thorites assuming the responsibility. This plan goes into operation to-day, when as we have stated, the state of Pennsylvania will be entirely relieved from all responsibility in sub sisting both the troops intended for, and those already mustered into the United States service. This entire arrangement is due to the zeal and energy with which Commissary General Irwin has watched the interests of the state of Penn , sylvania in his department, from the hour he assumed the control of the commissariat of the camps of the commonwealth. And in this connection we must also add, that the relations between the Governor and the Commissary were always of that character which enabled them to rely on the judgment of each other, while the confidence of one for the other was never impaired by a single act or word from either. This confidence continues to exist, and, while the duties of the Commissary General have been diminished, it must be no less a source of grati fication that his position, in the estimation of the authorities, is the same as it was when sur rounded by his multifarious duties. His labors hereafter will be confined to the adjustment of the accounts of his department, while Gov. Curtin and his administration are thus com pletely relieved from all further responsibility in the subsistence of the volunteer troops from this state. The manner in which this transfer has been effected, and the trouble and embarrassment of which it will relieve the state, in our opinion, suggests the propriety of the federal govern ment at once assuming the charge of clothing and quartering the troops thus subsisted by the same authority. It would be productive of an economy by reduCing the labor of our local de partments and bringing the military organiza tion of the county at once within the control and supervision of the War Department, which must ultimately assume their care and direction. Certainly if so much, good is to be achieved by the transfer of the commissariat of the state to the federal officers at this point, an equal amount of benefit would be derived by surren dering at once the entire organization and man agement of our forces to the same authority, We make the suggestion on this inference, and trust that it will be fairly considered by those who have the power to order the transfer. IT IS e ss am) by those intimately acquainted with both Scott and McClellan that there never has been a difference between them which in the slightest degree affected their friendship for each other. Their relations were pleasant and harmonious, and it was Gen. Scott's suggestion which brought McClellan to the Potomac. Dur ing McClellan's campaign in Western Virginia he was repeatedly complimented in private dis patches by Gen. Scott, and after his greatest triumph there it was intimated to him that he would soon be wanted in a higher sphere to use his talents in defence of the Union. Just before the unfortunate battle of Manassas Gen. McClel lan was upon the point of advancing to St an t on , Virginia, with his small but victorious army, but the Stone Bridge disaster and the ineffi ciency of Gen. Patterson put an end to the ad vance of the federal troops in that part of Vir ginia, and McClellan was drawn away to Washington very suddenly. The utmost confi dence is reposed in him by the government and the troops. The fact that he can inspire such confidence in his fellow-men speaks much in his favor. Vintnoßtuania Odin . CticgraPt), auesbap ftmuwn, November 5. 1861. How the Rebels Boast and Manage The public have little conception of the wiles and artifices which a powerful and unscrupulous foe will resort to carry out its purpose. The rebel leaders have so much at state, and they know so well the fate that awaits them at the haods of deceived millions if they fail, that they resort to the most desperate expedients to ac complish the . I foreign recognition" they are constantly promising to their obedient white slaves of the south. A gentleman of this city had occasion recent ly to visit Montreal, and while there, stopped at the Donegan Hotel. He found the house filled with jubilant secessionists, who loudly boasted that ere long France and England would recognize the Confederate government, and that the recent increase of the English force in Ca nada was a part of the proposed programme. The gentleman in question, a prominent mer chant of this city, being a foreigner and speak ing with a slight accent, heard more of their plans than they would have been willing to di vulge to one who was supposed to be a "Yankee and Lincolnite." To his surprise he found that a nephew of Beauregard's received letters from the General every two days, addressed to the President of the Bank of Montreal ; others of the same kink received letters with equal regu larity. He became well acquainted with Gen. Magruder, who, with his family, has passed into Canada without the slightest difficulty. There was one man there who was looked upon with sus picion by the southerners. When the New Yorker reached Rouse's Point on his return, this person politely informed him that he must search him, as he seemed to have been intimate with the southern rebels at Montreal. This official, if he had kept a bright lookout pre viously, might have discovered the rebel Ma gruder, who quietly left the cars before they reached the Point, and, in company with an ex- Governor of Rhode Island, rode off in a light wagon. Our informant met Magruder in this city, and says that he boasted that their Gen erals knew every plan of our Cabinet, and no power under heaven could prevent them from getting all the details they wished. The Gen eral remarked with great emphasis, "We have our friends in all the departments in Washing ton, and we know how to keep them there." Our informer is a man of decided intelligence, and his statements are worthy of trust. He says that the southerners in Montreal have abundance of money ; they have their families with them, and they get all the luxuries they want from this city. They boast that they can outbid the federal government in Europe, and that very large advances have been made by nominal British sympathisers, who long to see the Republic torn up by the roots. They in stanced the case of the Bermuda as an evidence of what they intended to do, and said that the successful entrance of such a vessel into the port of Savannah was worth a great victory on the field to them. Much of this is mere boasting, but it has its effect.—New York Evening Post. Improvement in Military Hospitals. The Sanitary Committee are now engaged in selecting sites for the erection of a number. of military hospitals in or near Washington. Hos pitals must be constructed with a special view to these objects, and buildings erected for other purposes will not answer for this purpose. The hospital system has been greatly improved of late years in Europe, and it is supposed that the Sanitary Committee, having unlimited means; will adopt a plan hich will be suited to the requirements of an army of citizen soldiers, most of whom have been accustomed to the comforts of home. Army hospitals are either temporary or per manent, but for the present objects of the gov ernment the former only are required. The approved plans secure far much more space for each patleut than hospitals generally afford. It is said that an acre of ground will be neces sary for a hospital that will properly accommo date only four or five hundred patients. The buildings preferred are only of one story. In General McClellan's report from the "mil itary commission to Europe" he records his opinion that the best Russian military hospitals are for comfort, convenience and cleanliness, the model hospitals of the world. In all of them, he says, the utmost order and cleanliness is preserved, and the greatest attention paid to the sick. The command is always invested in an officer of the line, who has other officers as assistants, while the surgeons have merely to prescribe, order the diet, etc. Finally, he recommends this system for adop tion in this country, " in the event of the es tablishment of large temporary hospitals dur ing a war, or any concentration of a large num ber of troops." It is to be remarked that the greater number of the Rusian troops in the Crimea were serfs, for serfdom had not been then abolished, and it is hardly to be supposed that the free volunteers, who compose our army hereabouts, are to receive less care than Rus sian serfs. The concentration of a large num• ber of troops in and around Washington is to be permanent rather than temporary r according to present appearances. The Lawrence Republican, of October 24, brings us intelligence of serious troubles in Kansas. On October 13, an armed body of rebels, among them several Cherokees, surrounded Humboldt, in Allen county, and after plundering the stores, began to fire all the buildings. Twenty-one houses and stores, and a mill—more than one half the buildings in the place—were consumed. The military company of the town chanced to be drilling without arms at the time, and on re sistance could be made. On the night of October 22, ten armed men visited Gardner, Johnson county, and succeeded in getting goods to the amount of perhaps $BOOO, including all the guns sent thither by the Governor for the protection of the town. Gov. Robinson had despatched an armed company for the apprehension of these outlaws. The Leavenworth Conservative has an account of a fight that took place at Plattsburg, in Clinton county, fifteen miles south of the Hanibal and St. Joseph Railroad, on Sunday night, Oct. 27. A force of seven hundred Union men attacked and captured a camp of rebels, killing eight of them, taking twelve prisoners, and capturing one cannon and a lot of small arms.

It consists of a pair of India rubber boots and trousers, all of one piece, which are filled with air a little below the waist, and heavily weighted at the feet. With these trousers on, a detachment has frequently crossed the lake of Vincennes, where the water is about fifteen feet deep, firing their muskets, and loading as they went. The men- oink about two feet. • Trouble in Kansas. "PENSION OFFICE, Nov. 2, 1861 "Respectfully yours, "Josses H. Rama.; Commisioner." BY TELEGIVIL From Western Virginia. BATTLE AT THE JUNC JON OF GIBLET AND NKR RIVERS. FLOYD'S FIRE INEFFECTIVE. I==l General Rosenerams Preparing to Surround Him. A FRIGHTENED TELEGRAPH OPERATOR. NO LIVES LOST ON OUR SIDE. I=l CINCINNATI, Nov. 4. The Commercial has advices from Gen. Rosen craps up to Saturday evening : On Friday morning, at 8 o'clock, the enemy opened fire with two guns from points opposite Gauley's Ferry and Camp Tompkins, and a noisy fire of musketry. Their object was evidently to cut off the supply trains. They succeeded in sinking a ferry-boat on the Gauley river, and threw about forty shells into the camp of the Eleventh Ohio. Not one of our men was killed, and only about half a dozen were wounded. The majority of the shells thrown by the ene my did not explode, and their musketry was wild and irregular. The ferry-boat, which had been sunk by the enemy's shot on Friday, was raised that night, and communication across the river restored. There was no firing on Saturday on either side. The position of the forces on Saturday even ing was as follows : The rebels were in possession of the left or west bank of New river. Gen. Schenck's brigade was a few miles above the junction of Gauley and New rivers, on the east side of New river. Gen. Coxe's brigade and Gen. Rosecranb' headquarters were near the junction of the rivers, and between them, and Gen. Benham was below the junction, on the right bank of the river. Floyd's force is believed 'to be about seven thousand. It was believed in camp that Generals Schneck's and Benham's brigades would be thrown across the river above and below Floyd, and catch him. The loss of telegraphic communication was occasioned by the alarm of the army operator, who, when the firing opened, sent a hasty de spatch to Clarksburg, announcing the battle, and then commenced to move his office up the Gauley. He was two or three miles up the river, when he was overtaken by orders from Gen. Rosecrans to return, and, while returning, his wagon was driven over a precipice, and the telegraphic apparatus destroyed. Floyd's demonstration was rather agreeable to Rosecrans than otherwise. General Rosecrans was certain he could hold his own, and expected to bag his assailants. Col. Edgwick, of the Second Kentucky regi ment, is reported to be wounded in the knee by the splinter of a shell. Maysvms, Nov. 4.—A gentleman of this city, from Gauley Bridge on Saturday evening, reports that Floyd has cut a road around the hill where Gen. Rosecrans was encamped, and was shelling - his camp. Gen. Rosecrans was re turning the fire, and had silenced two batteries. He had sent a force up a new-made road to attack Floyd in the rear, and would have him completely surrounded. No Federals had been killed when our in formant left. WASIUNGTON, Nov. 4.—The War Department has no further news from Gauley river than that telegraphed to the press. FROM FORTRESS MONROE. NEWS FROM THE GREAT FLEET. Its Destination Supposed to be Charleston, ARRIVAL OF CONTRABANDS AT THE FORTRZSS. Withdrawal of Troops from York• town and Great Bethel Resignation of Beauregard. c:=:== Foxmaxes MONROB, via Baltimore, Nov. 2. f The steamer Belvidere, one of the expedition laden with horses and stores, returned to Old Point on Monday noon, and reported that she was separated from the fleet in the storm on Friday, and a portion of her upper works was stove in and so roughly handled that she was compelled to return. Twelve of the horses were killed. She knew nothing as to the bal ance of the fleet. About three in the afternoon the steamer Monticello, from the blockading fleet off Sa vannah, arrived and reported that she passed the whole fleet moving along finely on Satur day night within thirty miles of Bull Bay. The storm had nearly abated and the officers have no doubt that they entered Bull Bay early on Sunday morning and landed within twenty-five miles of Charleston. This point of the coast was but slightly fortified. A Norfolk paper of Monday says the destina tion of the fleet is known to be Port Royal En trance, which is sixty miles south of Bull's Bay. No lees than sixty contrabands came in the fortress and fleet on Monday. They report that many troops have been withdrawn from Great Bethel, Yorktown and the vicinity of Norfolk, but they do not know where they have gone. They were picked up in boats and canoes. One boat had twenty-four in it. Passengers by a flag of truce say that no in formation had been received there relative to the fleet at 10 o'clock on Monday moruing. The Day Book mentions a rumor that Beau regard had resigned, and also published a dis patch from Richmond mentioning a similar ru mor there. Important from Kentucky. OCCUPATION OF PIiEBTONBURG The Rebels Retire Without Opposing the Federal Troops• .-........-... MAYBVILLII, Nov. 4. A messenger arrived this evening reports that Gen. Nelson took possession of Prestonburg on Saturday morning without resistance, General Williams falling back six miles, where it was expected he would make a stand. • From Washington. Floyd's Army Surrounded and Re pulsed. PROSPECT OF ITS CAPTURE -..•--- WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 It appears from official statement that the amount of the drafts upon the Treasurer last month was $10,600,000 of which $5,600,000 were drawn from New York. The unavoidable bullion fund is $902,000. The total balance to the credit of the United States Treasury in the States now under insurrectionary control is stated at $6,500,000, and after making a deduc tion for the unavailable, gives the available balance at $4,500,000. An official telegram dated to-day states Floyd's force at seven thousand, and that Ben ham and Schneck's brigades were following him on the new road. The dispatch is extremely hopefull of a brilliant victory, and the prospect is cheering. Another telegram from Cleveland, dated last night, states that the Kenawha boat had just passed Maysville, and reported that Roeecrans had repulsed Floyd, and at last accounts, Ben ham and Schenk had gone in his rear, and it was thought Floyd's force would be captured by them.

The Liverpool Post says that Capt. simmers of the pirate Sumter, arrived at Liver pool in the steamer Edinburgh, having shipped at New York as Capt. Bumerster of the Royal Navy. The London shipping Gazelle thinks that the defeat by the confederates of the squadron blockading New Orleans will render it scarcely possible to maintain even the semblance of a blockade at some of the principal southern cities.

The French financial accounts are rather more satisfactory. The strain on the bank has subsi ded. Renter had advanced to 68f. 20c. Sales of interest on treasury bills had been further augmented. It is reported that the French Senate will be convoked early in December to consider a re form in the constitution in order to relieve the Government from the responsibility in financial matters. A vague rumor prevails that France has notified Italy to have a military organiza tion for any eventuality by the Ist of March, next. The Paris Siecle urges the adoption of mea sures to get cotton from Algeria. It is con firmed that the Greenock ship builders, Messrs.
