rHE wo INDED SOLDIERS IN ST. JO
SEPH'S BOSPITAL.
We pu lab the official report of Surgeon
General Smith, this afternoon, giving a dettdled
account of the operations of his department in
connection with the sick and wounded Pennsyl
vania soldiers in General Ati'Clellan's Army of
the Potomac. Accompanying this repeal, wd
also print a list of the sick and wounded sol
diers now in St. Josortelt Hospital, Philadel
phia, under .th.t. 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 I
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 subltantial than the
light 11,1 nor of a laurel crown ore loud acclaim.
We commend the report of Surgeon General
Smith to the perusal of our readers.
BY rrs BACRIFICIS 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 assorted 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 strictly
party administration, such as always disgraced
the rule of locofocoism, 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 clamor poli
tics, so that their loyalty was unquestioned and
their ability satisfactory. One 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 properly 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 more part i-
Sall success.
There is Iwo and glory in , such a record as
these fadts present. They teach a !mon worthy
still farther and higher emulation. If such
sacrifices saved the Union, bow much more can
the Republican party sacrifice to perpetuate
that Union ? Let the gallant Repuldicitus 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—lle members may be scattered or
mingled with the patriotic men of other parties
—still, like the pilgrith who leaves his 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
radon's* thought revives memories of its beau
tiekand its holiness--the Republican will never
forget, his organisation, but will return to it
when the Linton has been saved by his disia,
tweeted efforts, as fondly as the Republican
soldier returns to his home, after he has fought
and finished his battles lor the Union. Let it
then hereafh r be written of our noble organi
sation, that by its sacrifices the Republican party
raved the Won

We au . wrung° 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
imitatots of such people, too-cowardly to avow
their conviotions; yet secretly nursing them for
a moment when their utterance will serve their
ulterior political purposes. If Jekt Davis were
to die, it would also be claimed thia s s bright
light had been quenched in death, Alio 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 ,colmna
lan , with the paper itself shrouded In the
moutAog of inverted column rules, would in
dicate its borrow and illustrate its regret; at the
loss of such s . man. So far as we areconcerned,
the Patriot can inveigh until doomsday. And
an far as its noinmonications are concerned, they
invoke about as much respect from us as do their
authors enjoy theOonfidence of the community.
The .Pabiot itself fulfills its mission as it de
fends living traitors and 'mourns over dead

PROCLA ATION BY THE PRESIDENT.
If any man ever doubted that Abraham Lin
coln was President of the United States, in fact
as well as in form, such a doubt must by this
time have been entirely removed. Tha
mading
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 pos.esses the for-
titnde 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 Ranter any right to
discriminate. Such peotier 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, whq 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
ban any of those`vestad 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 compensation,they cripple i the insti
tution and diminish the influence of slavery,
and as slavery goes down the means and the
motives for rebellion also gradually vanish.
Mil
o'er ns
a —Asr
LAW.
While we are in favor of the confiscation of
all rebel 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 authori
ty arrives, 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 b-. gained by fair and ltgal trial of these
points, and therefore we have confidence in the
policy insisted upon in the proclamation of
President Lincoln, repudiating the order 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 influences.
Drock Jousses are a chum" of men - Httld
known beyond the circle of their own tenwitt
tions 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 hides crime and
reflects a false virtue. In the present crisis,
we are indebted to the stock jobbers for such
flows as tends to excite the public mind on the
subject of our foreign relations. The greater
part of the " 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 are thus
attempted to be beggared by those who assume
to be the honest representatives of the fiban
dal operations of the larger cities. The
strangest part of their baseness is its main
tained respectaldlity. It is not only recog
nized, but the man whit can adroitly and:safely
manage one of these stock spermletious,- by
which thousands are beggared to enrich him
self, is hailed as a money icing, 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.
Tusks rs so DOM 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 prewtt
war, mach time has been 'lost in negleethlg
preparatory steps too long. The bombardment
of Island No. 10 watipostponed some time by
not having the mortars ready as soon as the

by a tardiness in forwarding munitions. A
similar postponement is rendered necessary at
Corinth by an oversight of our Commanding.

DISBANDMENT OF lIRTin CAVALRY
FORMATION OF GUERILLA. BANDS
Srxesermo, May 19.
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, ocoupkiag the
various mountain ranges and fastnesses.
Gen. Geary a few days since learned that one
of these bands was in a cave five irillos from
Ftectortown, and made arrangements 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.

WASHINGTON, May 20.
The Hon. Edward Stanley is on the eve of
departure for North GarOlina. HeAoday re
ceived his commission.as Military Governor of
that State. He is invested with the powers i t ,
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 organise 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 ail, 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.

of the recent engagement, says: 7.
The Galena, Iron clad, was admirably man
oeuvered, and so beautifully fancy 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 bettor use
higher up, Commodore Rogers ordered the
!wooden vessels to run up whilst he, in the
Galena, lay abreast of the battery and discon
serted the rebel gunners.
The Galena then followed, but the buoys
!have been displaced and misplaced, so that the
Iptlots last evening ran the Galena ashore, and
she is still aground. ' of our vessels were

HE IS NOT ENTIRELY SHOT PROOF.
The Stevens Battery Bursts Her
Great Gun.
The Little “Nonitor" Alone Impenetrable
Our Loss Loss 2,5 Killed and Wounded.
TERRIBLE RLYOO AMONG THE REBELS.
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
interesting details of the important operations
of Commodore Rodger's fleet in the upper
waters of the James river.
It seems 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 tound to be mounted
with superior.rifled guns of very heavy calibre.
he Galena was moored in close to these
shore batteries yesterday morning, and opened
a terrific fire upon them, the Monitor, Nauga
tuck and other vessels assisting.
At first, the shot of the rubel guns rolled off
the aides of the Galena, making only dents in
her mail, but gradually, after five hours' fight
ing, it was tound that the steel-pointed balls
used by the rebels were piercing her.
Thirty shots struck her and lodged, whilst
two went entirely through hrr, tumbling out
on the other side.
A shell burst in the Galena daring the en
gagement, which unfortunately killed seven
teen of ,tte 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 bead
by a piece of the flying metal. We are happy
to learn that be 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 had 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 be placed in the river above the batteries, he
will take the city.
A mortar boat was greatly needed tinting 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 James river yesterday, on the steamer Bal
timore, as far aft Jamestown, accompanied by
Commodore Goldaborough and Capt. Dahlgren.
The excursion party returned this morning
looking a little troubled after reading Com.
Rodgers' private dispatches, which are said
to reflect a little upon certain dignitaries here
abouts.
Seuater Lane, of Indiana, Hun. Joseph Segar
and several other Congressmen and 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.

FORTRESS MONROE, May 19-P.
SENATE.
A Brave Woman Kills a Scoundrel
[From the Davenport (Iowa) Gazelle, Nay 13.)
Private letters received in this give the I:Ar
ticular-a of an affair which recently happened at
Cape Girardeau in which a lady of this city bore
an active part. Mrs. Kendrick, wife of Capt.
Frank Kendrick, of the Second lowa cavalry,
had been staying at a hotel in that village for
some time when she was aroused a night by
a man at her room door, who d admit
tance, which was of course refine I 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 td use it, in case the scoundrel
came again He did so, and she then threaten
ed to shoot him if he disturbed her again, when
he left. Two or three nights after she was again
awakened by the rapping at herroom door, and
opened it and asked him *bat ha wanted, and
if he 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 pietol; and then he tried to push her
back into her loom; 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
ininent dtiieri 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 bad done, and went before a magistrate,
Who, after an examination, gave her a certifi
cate of honorable dircharge ; it is also said that
the wife of the deceased, who leaves a large
family, expressed her approval, under the cir
cumstances, of what Mrs. Kendrick bad 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 'Tenneseee.
In this act, melancholy as is the fact that
any 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 leas libertines in the
world.
