THE UNION-THE CONSITL LIMN-AHD THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW. RARAISBURG, PA Wednesday Morning, March Whine% GENERAL Iif'OALL The State Capitol, within a few days past, has boom rife with rumors of the most painful character, calculated to effect the reputation of this gallant and distinguished gentleman and soldier. These rumors have not, as we are aware; dammed any official shape, and there fore it is not necessary. to refer to them any fur ther than to seriously question their truthful nest, and confidently to rely on the facts for shill vindication of Gen. M'Call from any implied or expressed charge of derilection of duty as a soldier or a man. In regard to the march made by the division of Gen. M'Call, during which it was asserted that he had harassed his troops' by a useless and tedious departure front a regular route to a certain point, we now have the testimony of those who participated in that march, that this departure was the result of a necessity growing out of the vandalism of the rebels. We quote the following extract from a letter, dated "Camp near Alexandria, Virginia, March 17, 1862," received in this city by Mr. Armstrong, from his son, ..1". C. Armstrong, who bi attached to 11,'Call's division, fully ex plaining this whole metter : ' , We left Camp Plerpont about eleven o'clock, last Monday morning, and had ,e very tiresome march of fifteen miles, not halting iuntilabout seven.; o'clock in the evening. My knapsack was so heavy for me, that I had to stop on the road and throw out two shirts, a pair of drawers and a pair of stockings, for I was determined to keep up with my regiment, if 'I should be obliged to throw awl) , all-my baggage. Num bers of the men threw away their overcoats, blankets, boots, Btoand a great many gave out before we stopped. The next morning we marched about three miles, and then, being about six miles from Centreville, we' halted.— Our company was sent out as a picket guard and occupied the same poet that the rebels had occupied the dambefore. The following day we-gotithe mews that the rebe's evacuated.Cen teevilla and Manama, and that• both places were‘leld by another division of our men:— This was rather a disappointment to us ' for we expected sOlutve the pleasure of driving than ouf of those places. • We rethained encamped there until Friday, when we received 'ordere to ;get ready' to march iminediatelP for 'Alexandria, from which pl 'dee we would go, by water, (des tination not named.) That evening we marched about four miles, till we came to the Alexan dria and Leesburg turnpike, where we camped for the tight. The next day we started at *seven o'clock, a.. a. and on account of the bridge, below us on the pike, having been destroyed, we had a round about way of over ten miles to go, when we struck the pike, bed about four miles furthe r on than we were in the inerning, This was the hardest march I have had since I have btien in the army." It is to be hoped , that this letter, written im mediately after this march, when the facts were all fresh is the writer's mind,and when he could hate no possible object in communicating any Whitt:nation but the truth, will forever silence the tougurof slander that has so recklessly, wagged against General M'Call for the, limit few weeks. TER MISSION TO ROWSLi. The telegraphic announcement in the .phffa delphis inquiry, to the effect that Gen. Canieron had in contemplation the purpose of resigning his position as miaisten to Russia, is one of the wholesale sensation paragraphs peculiar to the inquirer, and is false in every particular. Gen. Cameron has completed his arrangements, and will sail for Europe, en route to St. Petersburg, in a very few days. This is all the announce. spent necessary to explode the fabrication of our Philadelphia (*temporary. A oortanspouniar writing from Nashville and the Cumberland, says that the most bitter seces sionists are the women, and It is the opinion that it is part of the secession programme to urge these females to such indiscretion and indecencies as-to provoke retaliation, and thus make capital out of it. Our soldiers bear the taunts of the she-devils with becoming forti tude, and merely laugh at their ravings. The hospitals at and about Nashville, and on the Ohio river, are in pretty fair condition, though scarcely adequate to the command. There is an abundant supply of beds and bedding, those &Melds having been p ured in by Sanitary Osnamiseion from every quarter. Ent there Is a sad lack of proper food. The invalids are suffering everywhere on this account, and many destlutaraithe reettlt. i• _ : 'elm Pilots or one Wan` Vissmsl- 2 -Here' is a class of men deserving of the notice of the gov ernment and the notice of the .people. They druid op bravely in the pilot hotly*, which are marks to be shot at by rebel cannon, and, without the aid or the excitement of wielding a weapon or commanding either soldiers. or sail ors, quietly and calmly face death for .their country. They are true heroes, equal to 'any in the army and navy, and superior to the majority in either. They are worthy of all honor and renown.

THE TWO SUPERINTENDENTS. /Inch has been said and written in raiment:le to those who have been and still are connected with the different railroads of the country, di rectly engaged in the transportation of troops, supplies and munitions of war, commending them for their energy, sagacity and prompt ness. We have no opposition to urge to all this approval. We are rather inclined to endorse this commendation, and while we do so, we deem it entirely in place to refer to two indi. vidnals in whose sial and perseverance the traveling public and the government of the United States have been much indebted; and while we make this reference, we protest most solemnly against any attempt to win the favor either of those thus rutmed,or from the company for which,they act. In fact, we have no person al acquaintance with one of these gentlemen, while the other is only one of the recollections of, our boyhood, a recollection which has been darkened by, time, and is now fiarther dimthed by those stem years of age, which cast their shadows over all that is bright and glorious. .We allude to the superintendents of the east ern and western divisions of the Pennsylvania Itailroad,Obaries J. Fransiscus, of Philadelphia, and Samuel H. Young, of Harrisburg. These ' gentlemen have been connected with the trans portation business for years, and started with the Pennsylvania railroad when that enterprise was in an,intried,experiment and when neither of theni dreamed of filling positions of the re sponsibility and labor they now occupy. Thily have grown,with the road, and as it enlarged its business and extended its lines, they gather ed knowledge and, became efficient, until they found themselves in positions as honorable as any in business and as responsible as any in life, because while they are, daily brought in contact 'beet of ;their fellow citizens, theyttave,o4ly cittm t i tle limbs and the lives.4thtinisantis oeiturntinebeings. The Pennsylvania railroad has long since adottifir an4 . 113' 'now steadily pursuin., a princi ple of promotion among all its employee's, which, while it results In success to the busi nesk awakens the energy„and stimulates 'the ambition of the people in its employ. With this road, a man must earn , promotion, as well Iby bis . term, of service tut ability to serve. And on these qualifiCations and merits, Messrs. Young and Fransiscus itai"%eirleen to their present position. We refer to these facts now, because as we wrote above, there has been so much written and printed in relation to others in the same connection, a fact, alone, which reminded us of doing credit to the gentlemen in ques tion. Tam OROANB or =ex D 11100140! which still reek with the disgraces of the Buchanan ad ministration; such as the York' Gazette, the Bedford Gazettes, Lanaufer listellifeneer,. and their kindred cotemporaries, are howling and rejoic ing in the moat vulgar terms over the election In this city and York bon:nigh. They' claim the results as decisive Democratic) victories, and assert that in consequence the doom of the Re publican - parts le flied'. It is not so much the doom of the Republican party that these jour nals; desire to impress on their, readers, nor is it for local impressions or effect that these jour nals so la • , Or. y persist in perverting the truth. The , o' , t tbey, aim at Is to encourage the rebels to maintain their present antagonism for a few yearsiwith the promise that the Democratic party will then be in power, and then, too, every demand now made by the . south will be granted, the rebel .chiefs them. selves received into barauciatic fellowship, and thislave power againestablialled as an elemeet of strength and political Influence in the gov &mot. If these journals were ao anxious for the treth,-they would alio print the result of the .eprliceleoiloo inlieicling, one Of the ant dent Locofooo strongholds.

Shields' 'division, commanded . by Col Kimball, pursued the enemy beyond Newtown, shilling them the ;whole way. Jackson's men, who were perfectly demoral ised and btyund control, threw overboard their dead and wounded, to lighten the Wagons in theirsetrest. . 4 It is a noticeable fact that nearly all of the rebels wounded were shot in the head and breast, thus showing the superiority of our marksmen. Those of our troops principally engaged were se follows; . The Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania Regiment ; the One-hundred-and tenth, Pennsylvania Regi ment; the Fourth Ohio Reginient; the Seventh Ohio Regiment; the Eighth Ohio Regiment; the,Seventl. Indiana Regiment ; the Thirteenth Indi.na Regiment: the Fourteenth Indiana ...Regiment ; the First Virg inia Regiment; the Michigan Cavalry ; Daum 's Battery of Parrott gins. . It: .Ssras evidently known to many in Win chester that Jackson was approaching,from the holiday attire and buoyancy of spirits previ ously dieplitied' by numbers of the Secession residents, both men and women. The fact of Gen. Shield's command having titan screened fr m observation on the east side of the town, led the informants of Jackson to believe that all our troops were evacuating, and that Jackson could enter unobstructed.— This evidence is derived from the prisoners . Goo i judges estimate the enemy's loss at over ,two hundred killed, Ave hundred wounded,and three hundred prisoners, including an aid-de- Pimp Jacksou:s staff. Our loss was sixty-live killed and about one hundred and twenty five wounded. • LATE Et • Our column is now ftve miles beyond Stras bing, and still in pursuit of the enemy.

S. steamer Cambridge arrived here this morning from the blockade off Beaufort, N. C., which she left on Sunday evening. The rebel steamer Nashville escaped from the harbor on Tuesday night, the eighth inst., having run the blockade. The only United States vessels off the place were the Cambtidge and the bark Geonsbok, sailing vessels. The blockading vessels had news of the cap ture of Newbem, and were on the look-out for the Nashville, hut they were not numerous enough to prevent her escape. The Gemsbok just saw the Nashville, and immediately telegraphed to the Cambridge that she was coming out. The latter followed her and Bred a number of shots, but the supe rior speed of. the Nashville soon put her at a safe distance. Two shots from the Cambridge are supposed to have struck the Nashville. The bark Glenn which has been blockaded in the harbor of Beaufort for some time was set on fire by the rebels on Sunday and was burning when the Cambridge left in the eve ning. She was supposed to have been fitted out as a privateer. The leaving of the Glenn was doubtless preparatory to the evacuation of the place Fort Macon had not been burned at the last accounts. The bark Qenabok and steamer State of Georgia were left at the station by the Cam bridge. Arrival of the Guard Steamer China.
