THE WOUNDED SOLDIERS IN ST. TO
BEIE' S HOSPITAL.
We publish the official report of Surgeon
General Smith, this afternoon, giving a detailed
account of the operations of his department in
connection with the sick and wounded Pennsyl
vania soldiers in General lir Clellan's Army of
the Potomac. Accompanying this report, we
also print a list of the sick and wounded sol
diers now in St. Joseph's Hospital, Philadel
phia, under the immediate medical care and
attention of the Surgeon General of Pennsylva
nia. This list embraces over one hundred and
fifty names, and in all respects it relates a story
of the humanity and glory of the state of
Pennsylvania, such as cannot be repeated for
any of the other loyal states of the Union. It
is the record of Pennsylvania's devotion to her
own people—the establishment of the truth,
that for the brave men who went from her
midst to fight the battles of the Union, the
Keystone state has reserved for its reciprocation
a care and a succor more substantial than the
light h. nor of a laurel crown or a loud acclaim.
We commend the report of Surgeon General
Smith to the perusal of our readers.
Br ITS SACRIFIMS the Republican party has
saved this Union One year ago, Abraham
Lincoln, although elected to the Presidency by
the vote and the voices of the Republican
masses of the country, solemnly rejected all
claims to official recognition which were urged
on purely political grounds, and asserted the
patriotic purpose of forcing the Republican
party to serve the cause of the Union. In this
manner the order of politics so long maintain
ed by locofoco administrations, was reversed.
Instead of making the Union subservient to
the interests of party, or instead of avowing
party lines and forcing on the people a etrictly
party administration, such as always disgraced
the rule .of locofoceism, the Republicans in
power in the federal-and state governments re
cognized all men who were capable of serving
the country, refused position to no class or poli
ties, so that their loyalty was unquestioned and
their ability satisfactory. Ono year ago, while
the subordinates in the Departments at Wash
ington, left in charge by the imbecile and cor
rupt Buchanan administration, were divulging
the secrets of the government to its enemies,
and conveying its property to those who were
banding and preparing for its overthrow, a Re
publican administration commenced its, sacrifi
ces of party, and began thus to prove to the
world that it labored for more than mere parti
ran success.
There is hope and glory in such a record as
these facts present. They teach a lesson worthy
still farther and higher emulation. If such
sacrifices saved the Union, how much more can
the Republican party sacrifice to perpetuate
that Union 1 Let the gallant Republicans of
Pennsylvania now answer these questions.—
Dear as is our organization and noble as has
been its mission so far, we must pause at no
sacrifice which will promote the safety of the
Union. That organization may be given up
for a time—its members may be scattered or
mingled with the patriotic men of other parties
—still, like the pilgrim who leaves hie hearth
and his altars to wander in pursuit of some
`holy labor of love and charity, his heart turns
to his native land with new emotions of admi
ration as thought revives memories of its beau
ties and its holiness—the Republican will never
forget his organization, but will return to it
when the Union has been saved by his disin
terested efforts, as fondly as the Republican
soldier returns to his home, after he has fought
and finished his battles for the Union. Let it
then hereafter be written of our noble organi
zation, that by its sacrifices the Republican party
saved the Union ! •
Ws ARE MUD* to wager a small amount
that the author of the communication to the
Patriot, this morning, who evinces such indig
nation at our reference to the late Charles J.
Ingersoll, is a semi-secessionist. The adulators
of an aristocrat or tory, are always the poor
imitators of such people, too cowardly to avow
their convictions, yet secretly nursing them for
a moment when their utterance will serve their
ulterior political purposes. If Jeff. Davis were
to die, it would also be claimed that a bright
light had been quenched in death, while we
verily believe that if even Buchanan should
be called on to pay the great debt of nature,
a communication in the Patriot of a column
length, with the paper itself shrouded in the
mourning of inverted column rules, would in
dicate its sorrow and illustrate its regret at the
loss of such a man. So far as we are concerned,
the Patriot can inveigh until doomsday. And
10 far as its communications aie concerned, they
invoke about as much respect from us as do their
authors enjoy the confidence of the community.
The Patriot itself fulfills its mission as it de
fends living traitors and mourns over dead
tories. This the whole community under
stand and fully appreciate.
IT is reported from Fredericksburg, Virginia,
that the merchants of that place,wbo are largely
indebted to Northern houses, are selling off their
real estate and personal property, with the
avowed intention of defrauding their creditors.
PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT.
If any man ever doubted that Abraham Lin
col n was President of the United States, in fact
as well as in form, such a doubt must by this
time have been entirely removed. The reading
of his proclamation in relation to the policy
pursued by General Hunter, on the subject of
confiscation and emancipation, will convince
every right minded man that President Lincoln
understands the duty devolving upon him as
Chief Magistrate, and that he posesses the for
titude to assert an authority which that re
sponsibility confers. As to whether a necessity
existed to justify the issuing of the proclama
tion by General Hunter, we are not competent
to judge, nor had General Hunter any right to
discriminate. Such power only belongs to the
President, and we rejoice that he has asserted
his determination to reserve to himself the
prerogative to wield such authority.
In repudiating the supposed order of General
Hunter (as its genuineness is not recognized by
his proclamation) President Lincoln entrenches
himself in his position of extending pecuniary
aid to such of the states as desire to emancipate
their slaves. He does this in a frank and elo
quent appeal to the discernment of the people
of the south, who cannot much longer be blind
to the signs of the times. Whatever may be
the guaranteed rights of the states—whatever
may be the claimed privilege of maintaining
slavery, rights and privileges of this de
scription must eventually give way to progress,
and the establishment of other rights holier far
hen any of those vested in slavery. Therefore'
while the government is willing and able to
assist loyal men in the emancipation of their
slaves, that assistance should not be treated
with contempt. The loyal men of the border
states owe it to themselves and the Union to
accept this proposition as the only manner in
which they can aid in putting down the rebel
lion. By emancipating their slaves on the
principle of compens ttion,they cripplejthe insti
tution and diminish the influence of slavery,
and as slavery goes down the means and the
motives for rebellion also gradually vanish.
While we are in favor of the confiscation of
all rehel property, we are also . as honestly op
posed to any proceedings for that purpose,
which are unconstitutional and illegal. We
believe that there is as much force in the civil
as there is power in the military authority.
When the hour of trial before the civil autheri•
ty art ives, confiscation will be as easily achieved
among guilty, as victory was gained over an
armed, rebel. The sweeping effects of a military
proclamation could in no degree equal what
must he gained by fair and legal trial of these
points, and therefore we have confidence in the
policy insisted upon in the proclamation of
President Lincoln, repudiating the older of
Gen. Hunter. It is wise, cautious and patriotic.
It is in consonance with the spirit of Republi
canism. An illustration of that spirit and de
termination which seek the ridance of the
land from slavery by every fair, just and equit
able means and influt Aces.
STOCK JOBBEBB are a class of men little
known beyond the circle of their own associa
Lions in the large cities, yet wielding, by some
means, an immense influence on the destinies
of the country, in its business and financial
relations. They are a class of men about as
useless and as dangerous as any who live by
false pretences, and we honestly believe that the
greater portion of the evil which the country
suffers, from time to time, by the depression of
trade and the loss of credit, can be directly
traced to this class of men. And yet they are
recognized as respectable where wealth is wor
shipped, and where money bides crime and
reflects a false virtue. In the present crisis,
we arc indebted to the stock jobbers for such
news as tends to excite the public mind on the
subject of our foreign relations. The greater
part of tho " sensation " on the subject of
" intervention,"'was gotten up by these stock
jobbers, for the purpose of depressing American
stocks, not only in government loans, but in
all others, that these sharks might have an
opportunity to rob innocent and confiding
people, who had freely given up their all to
support the government, but who aro thus
attempted to be beggared by those who assume
to be the honest representatives of the finan
cial operations of the larger cities. The
strangest part of their baseness is its main
tained respectability. It is not only recog
nized, but the man who can adroitly and safely
manage one of these stock speculations, by
which thousands are beggared to enrich him
self, is hailed as a money king, a shrewd dealer,
an enterprising man. If, however, 'one of those
beggared by such an operation, should steal a
loaf of bread or an ounce of meat, he would
be arrested and condemned as a thief, too dan
gerous to be at liberty. These are some of the
strange distinctions of society.
THERE is xo DOUBT that even the greatest
minds are not always alive to the important
details that contribute so largely to grand
results. In all the movements of the present
war, much time has been lost in neglecting
preparatory steps too long. The bombardment
of Island No. 10 was postponed some time by
not having the mortars ready as soon as the
boats were, and a further detention was caused
by a tardiness in forwarding munitions. A
similar postponement is rendered necessary at
Corinth by an oversight of our Commanding
General, in not commencing the construction
of roads as soon as he assumed control after
the battle of Shiloh. The great want of them,
and the discouraging difficulties we labor under
in consequence, are daily set forth in letters
from that direction.
THERE are over thirty special correspondents
of various papers throughout the Union now
with Gen. Halleck's army, to say nothing about
a number who accompany divisions. This is
the largest representation of the press over as
sembled to witness a battle, and between them
all what the public don't learn about the
forthcoming conflict—if come it does—will
hardly be worth knowing.
"I AM going to the post-office, Bob, shall I
inquire for you ?" "Well, yes, if you have a
mind to, but I don't think you'll find me."
IT is stated that Lewis Washington, of Har
per's Ferry notoriety, died of fever in Rich
mond last week.

FORMATION OF QUER ILLA. R NUS
It is currently reported and credited in mili
tary circles that 2,900 rebel cavalry attached to
the different commands have been disbanded
and formed into Guerilla bands, occupying the
various mountain ranges and fastnesses.
Gen. Geary a few days since learned that one
of these bands was in a cave five miles from
Rectortown, and made arrangetaents to sur
round and capture them. On reaching the
cave he ascertained that the band had vacated
it the previous day. A party of forty men,
with horses, had evidently been there for some
time, living sumptuously, judging from the
empty bottles, boxes, cans, &c It is probable
they were a portion of the force which captured
Geary's guard train near Linden last week, and
retreated towards Warrenton on Shields' ap
proach.
Gen. Geary has been ordered to report to
Gen. Banks in future. He has been relieved
from guarding the lower portion of the Manas
sas road which duty he has performed for
several weeks to the extent of fifty miles.
Blue Ridge and adjacent ranges and spurs
are infested with guerillas who watch every op
portunity to shoot and capture our pickets and
foraging parties. Their familiarity with the
mountain defiles and passes enables them to
elude pursuit.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Departure of Hon. Edward Stanley, MI
tarp Governor of North Carolina.
The Gun Boat Jacob Bell on Fire,
The Hon. Edward Stanley is on the eve of
departure for North Carolina. He to-day re
ceived his commission as Military Governor o
that State. He is invested with the powers,
duties and functions of that station, including
the power to establish all necessary offices and
tribunals, and to suspend the writ of habeas
corpus during the pleasure of the President or
until the loyal inhabitants shall organize a
State government in accordance with the Con
stitution of the United States. His powers are
exactly similar to those with which Gov.
Johnson, of Tennessee, is invested.
The gun boat Jacob Bell, laying at the Navy
Yard wharf, was discovered to be on fire early
this morning. The flames were soon suppressed.
She was loaded with ordnance stores and some
of the boxes of shells were considerably. char
red, hence the vessel barely escaped being
blown up. The origin of the fire has not been
ascertained.
The Attack on Fort Darling
TILE OPERATIONS OF TILE GALENA
A private letter from an officer on one of the
vessels of Commodore Rogers' flotilla, speaking
of the recent engagement, says:
The Galena, Iron clad, was admirably man•
oeuvered, and so beautifully saucy that she
passed five or six times as close as she could
get and silenced one of their batteries. She
then passed and repassed the second battery
six times, but finding they were using so much
ammunition for which we have better use
higher up, Commodore Rogers ordered the
wooden vessels to run up whilst he, in the
Galena, lay abreast of the battery and discon
certed the rebel gunners.
The Galena then followed, but the buoys
have been dizplaced and misplaced, so that the
pilots last evening run the Galena ashore, and
she is still aground. None of our vessels were
seriously injured.

FOiTRESS MONROB t 19-P. ltl
The Stevens battery, known as the Nauga
tuck, has just arrived here from the scene of
action in front of Richmond, and I have some
inter( Sting details of the important operations
of Commodore Badger's fleet in the upper
waters of the James river.
It (kerns that our iron-clad sloop-of-war Ga
lena proceeded up the river, leading the fleet,
and silencing the many minor batteries that
lined the shore, until the fleet had arrived at a
point in the James river about eight miles be
low Richmond, where there is a bluff, upon
which a series of strong batteries have been
constructed up to the city.
These batteries, were toned to be mounted
with superior rifled guns of very heavy calibre.
The Galena was moored in close to these
shore batteries yesterday morning, and opened
a terrific fire upon them, the Monitor, Nauga
tuck andother vessels assisting.
At first, the shot of the rebel guns rolled off
the sides of the Galena, making only dents in
her mail, but gradually, after five hours' fight
ing, it was found that the steel-pointed balls
used by the rebels were piercing her.
Thirty shots struck her and lodged, whilst
two went entirely through her, tumbling out
on the other side.
A dhell burst in the Galena during the en
gagement, which unfortunately killed seven
teen of the crew and wounded nineteen. But
even this sad accident did not dishearten the
brave Capt. Rodger.' and his crew. They fought
on until dark, and until their ammunition had
nearly given out.
The Naugatuck was ably handed by Captain
Constable, but after firing seven magnificent
shots, her, splendid bow gun burst, killing two
men and wounding three others, including
Capt. Constable, who was struck in the head
by a piece of the flying metal. We are happy
to learn that he is not seriously injured.
A flaw was discovered in the metal, and this
was, no doubt, the cause of the explosion.
Lieutenant Morris, in command of the gun
boat Port Royal, and late of the Cumberland,
was slightly wounded.
Commodore Rodgers was wounded painfully,
but not seriously, In the left cheek.
These are all the casualties heard of up to
the sailing of the Naugatuck for Fortress Mon
roe.
The slaughter among the rebels in the bat
teries is said to have been terrible, although
they bad the advantage of our gunboats in
having the batteries situated on a bluff.
The fight will be renewed shortly, when
Commodore Rogers hopes to silence the rebel
forts, and If he can pass the obstructions known
to he placed in the river above the batteries, tie
will take the city.
A mortar boat was greatly needed doting the
action, as with it the batteries could have been
taken quietly easily.
The Monitor was at last accounts ahead, no
ball yet fired by the enemy having any effect
upon her iron-clad turret.
Secretaries Welles and Seward took a trip up
the Janus river yesterday, on the steamer Bal
timore, as far as Jamestown, accompanied by
Commodore Goldsborough and Capt. Dahlgren!
The excursion party returned this morning
looking a little troubled after reading Cora.
Rodgers' private dispatches, which are said
to reflect a little upon certain dignitaries here
abouts.
Senator Lane, of Wiens., Hon. Joseph Segar
and several other Congressmen end distin
guished gentlemen from Washington, accom
panied by a few ladies, arrived this morning,
and paid a visit to Norfolk and Portsmouth.
The Naugatuck will take another gun on
board, and proceed up the James river to renew
the fight as soon as possible.
The reports from Gen. McClellan's army to
day place his advance within ten miles of Rich
mond, and he is moving on.
All is quiet here and at Norfolk.

A Brave Woman Mlle a Scoundrel.
[From the Davenport (Iowa) Gazette, May 13.]
Private letters received in this give the par
ticulars of an affair which recently happened at
Cape Girardeau in which a lady of this city bore
an active part. Mrs. Kendi ick, wife of Capt.
Flank Kendrick, of the Second lowa cavalry,
had been staying at a . hotel in that village for
some time when she was aroused - e night by
a man at her room door, who d, . . admit
tance, which was of course refuse n, and on his
persisting, she called for help. He then fled,
but came the second time, when she again
raised the alarm, and he ran off. The landlord
of the hotel then gave Mrs. Kendricks a pistol,
and advised her to use it, in case the scoundrel
came again. He did so, and she then threaten
bd to shoot him if he disturbed her again, when
he I eft. Two or three nights after she was again
awakened by the rapping at her room door, and
opened it and asked him what he wanted, and
if be remembered what she told him. He
replied that he wanted to come in and see her,
and guessed she would not hurt anybody with
an empty pistol, and then he tried to push her
back into her room, so as to enter and close
the door. Raising her pistol, she fired, the ball
entering the neck near the jugular vein, and he
fell dead on the spot. He, proved to be a pro
minent citizen of the town, a wealthy man, and
a leading secessionist. When the'news became
known about town, a crowd of his fellow seces
sionists mobbed the house and threatened to
hang Mrs. Kendrick, and it is not improbable
they would have tried to carry their designs if
a guard had not been placed around the house
by the commander of the federal forces at the
Cape.
Mrs. Kendrick promptly made known what
she had done, and went before a magistrate,
who, after an examination, gave her a certifi
cate of honorable discharge ; it is also Faid I hat
the wife of the deceased, who leaves a large
family, expressed her approval, under the cir
cumstances, of what Mrs. Kendrick had done.
The citizens also presented her with a pair of
elegant pistols, as a mark of favor. Mrs. Ken
drick shortly after joined her husband in the
army on the Upper Tennessee.
In this act, melancholy as is the fact that
say man should thus bring down upon himself
such punishment, Mrs Kendrick exhibited a
determined heroism, combined with true
womanly dignity, that does her much honor.
Her act will be applauded wherever it is known ;
and were there a few more examples of this
kind, there would be far less libertines in the
world.
