Secretary Stanton his not only verified the oharaoter which he has always enjoyed for vigor and energy, but he is proving that he is a busi ness man, comprehending details and capable of great achievemeets. The orders which we print on our first page this itfternoon, show that the War Department is fully alive to the exigencies of the times, and that in its opera •tions nothing will be left undone to secure the entire success of the struggle for the Union and the Government. The order in regard to the payment of the bounty heretofore paid to all volunteers, is a stringent and a necessary regulation. The old regiments should be re cruited for, simply because. they have the or ganisation and the experience at once to render any number of raw recruits effective ; while the raw recruit entering these regiments, will find himself relieved of much of the wearisome toil and labor which an entirely new regiment would be compelled to endure before itidiecipline and drill could be perfected. To these attractions, the government now adds the exclusive right of bounty money. Only those enlisting in an old regiment will be entitled-torhisdeecripiri.. of pay. It is not only the old regiments in the field, but also thaw which were , organized at the time this order was issued, will teceive this bounty. The draft is extended until the 4th day of September by the same order, a movement advocated by the Taut:num some days since, as.beiug one that would give a great •impulse to enlistments. To induce this change, (km. Curtin went to Washington a few days since, and we have no doubt that it was on his candid representation and influence that the order was issued. The effect of it will be to bring out a large number of men who would have other wise been compelled to awaitAhe chances of a draft—so that the fact of their volunteering will add materially to the force of their useful- . nese and enthusiasm. There is still another feature of these orders which was advocat ed in the TELIGRAPH, and which Gov. Curtin also urged on the attention of the War Depart.: mart. It relates to the apportionment of the draft in localities, so that allowances may be made to such counties and townships, cities and wards. towns and boroughs, for all volunteers heretofore furnished for the service of the United States. This is a wise and just order. It will equalise the service, and compel every locality and individual atpable of duty, to render its or his full share. Altogether, then, we regard these orders as most comprehensive and liberal. Their operations cannot fail to be both satisfactory and snocessful. RICOItD of THE BUZ= FAMILY, or that portion of it who are afflicted;with weakness in the knees, will be found in the shape of a letter bon Clearfield county, published on the that page of this afternoon's Timatossyn. The boast having been made, some days since, that two sons of the notorious William Bigler were battling in defence of the Union, we of course wpm as much surprised as we were gratified, because it seemed to be the sign of the return ing loyalty and patriotism of the sire himself, admitting, for the sake of preserving the con nection, that the elder Bigler ever had a parti cle of patriotism or an emotion of loyalty. But it _seems that the assertion in respect to the "brave boys" was only a miserable inven tion of the enemy, and that both are afflicted with the weak-kneed peculiarity of the ex- Senator. We leave the reader to the perusal of the letter as the best evidence of the character which the distinguished sire and sons enjoy at home. Tam &Wan of the National Sanitary Com mission eng,gaskthe propriety of a generelarrn ing of the militia of the states, in order that, besides the forces in the Held and on their way, there may be a reserve of at least a million of men at home, from whom detachments may be drawn at any moment to strengthen weak points in our line, or to assist in overwhelming the enemy. There ia Boned sense in this recont ineedallen. If we had armed and trained a -million a year ago, the rebellion would have been ended before this. If we omit any awes saty effort now, we may have to do twice as much a yam hence., - PARTIZAN SCHEMES. While the great mass of the people of Penn sylvania are in earnest on the subject of crush ing the rebellion, they have discovered., to their sorrow that the longer they pause to de liberate on the Wieland best suited to bring about this war, the stronger the rebellien itself becomes!. And while we are thus too frequent ly induoed to pause, we would be blind to the most active operations around us, it we failed to observe and oppose the machination of the bitter Breckinridge pralines:in--Fennel nada. That there is a conspiracy ag ainst the government in this state, is as obvious to our observation as is the armed rebellion in the South. It has its leaders, its divisions, its plans and its rendezvous, and the day will yet come when theso ! opeption of some of the leading men of this state, with the Southern traitors, wilt be proven , by the traitors them selves. Bat in the meantime it becomes the duty of all loyal men industriously to fertit out and expose those who are thus engaged, by todging information against them with the provost offiCers, and by denouncing all such wherever they raise a carping voice against the government, or attempt the least interference With the businesiof enlistments. - The leaders of this conspiracy, like the prime movers in the slave -holders' rebellion, do not go to great pain's to conceal their objecti. The address which has been issued over thename of Frank Hughes, is an evil:twice Of this boldness. In that document the issue ie made that neither the majesty or the perpetuity &Jim, govern ment is comparable to the sanctity and force of the rebel cause. If this is not directly ex pressed in words, it is implied in dogma, else why would these bad men urge an issue bit the government? If the leaders of the l3reckin• ridge party in Pennsylvania are not colleaguing with the leaders of the southern conspirators, why do they insist on dividing 'pablie Zeal ment in the loyal states, on the subject of the justifiable means to crush out rebellion If they loved the Union and were devoted to the government, they would not pause long to dis criminate as to policies, but adopting the plan that would seem most vigorous and effective, they would join the loyal men , of the land by risking their lives and sacrificing their fortunes in the cause of the country. The good people of Pennsylvania must be on the alert for the conspirators by which they are surrounded. The treason which these men ad vocate is in a shape most likely to delude and deceive, because it is presented by those who still retain the semblance of loyalty, and can boast of their respectability and influence in society. On this account they are more dangerous. If they would array themselves as their allies in the south are arrayed, the remedy would be in the force of arms, and the result a complete overthrow of their plans. But the operations of these men are all in secret. They covertly disparage the military service, and thus inter rupt and impede enlistments. They secretly denounce the policy of the government with regard to the support of the war...thus offering indursstneurte to man lu resist taxation.--ass they are employed in the consolidation of .a rouu success, that they may be more effectually powerful in embarrassing the Union cause by strengthening the cause of the conspirators. The people must reject any party and any man who refuses its Of his unconditional support of the government, we care not whether it or he is known as Democrat or Abolitionist. If either or both attempt to make an issue with the gov ernment in regard to the suppression of treason and the punishment of.traitors, either or both are traitorous. The Union and the cause oi the government constitute the highs t issue which can be made. To preserve them from assault there •is nothing of man's own invention or creation which is too sacred to perish. flan himself dwindles into insignificance in compari son to these, and can be sacrificed, so far as this mortal life is concerned, with the • high sanction of God, that liberty may be preserved, and that the generations which are to come af ter us, may have vouchsafed to them the hies. sings arid the privileges which we enjoyed and possessed. Let us not then sutler a few despi cable demagogues in Pennsylvania to thwart the efforts of the government to put down re• hellion. Let us. meet these wretches on the battle field or at the ballot box. Let us expose and denounce them whether they appear as the defenders of their partisan organizations, or as the apologists of an organization to give aid and comfort to treason. If such men triumph—if the party which is represented by the effrontery and falsehoods of Frankanghes, becomes vic torious in this Commonwealth, the prospect of the overthrow of rebellion will be diminished a thousand fold. A Dazanaflort or Cows= JON waited on the President yesterday, when be addfessed them on the subject of colonization. He dis cussedithe insurmountable difference of the races—the broad dk.tinction which now and hereafter must exist - between the white and black man, and showed that the black suffer ad equally with the white, whenever the two races came in contact, and therefore President Lincoln urged -the policy of colonization as one of the great initial steps towards the relief of the black man. He suggested Cen tral America as the locality for their coloniza tion, and asked the delegation of oolored men present to select a number of families from among themselves and friends to commence the enterprise. President Lincoln assured them that the matter was one of the most se rious within the contemplation of the govern meat, and therefore urged that it should be seriously entertained by those so highly Inter ested In its success. The delegates asked time to - submit an an swer in writing. The subject of colonisation le about to become a practical movement.

They are supposed to be merely cover ing the retreat, The main, body of Qeneral Milroy Is.inAdvartoe with Buford and Bayard's cavalry and some artillery. The rives la easily forded at many points. It is stated by a scout that Jaekson's army numbered 60,000 at least. He has managed to move them all off safely, excepting a few strag lers. Some of the latter came into our camp last night and said almost all the Virginia sol diers would desert if they .thought they would be well treated. - A Union soldier was found in .the woods on Wednesday with hie musket _barrel grasped in both handa, the stock having been broken off, and eleven dead rebels lying around him, some with their heads smashed and others bruited in varioui ways, all the dead shouting with 'what desperation the Union hero bad fought for his life but without avail.

M. 70 Major-General Bailed, Generatin•Chief: On Thursday morning, the enemy crossed, the Rapidan, at Barneles ford, in heavy force, and advanced strongly,cin the road to Culpep per and Madison Court House. I established my *hole force on the turnpike between Culpepper and Spertyville, ready to concentrate at either place as soon as the ene my's plans were developed. Early on Friday it became apparent that the movet'on Madison 0. H.' was merely feint, to detain the army corps of Oen. Siegel at Spar ryville, and that, the main attack of the enemy would, be , at Culpepper, to which place , I bad thrown forward put of Bank's and Mak:l4ll's corps. Brig. General Bayard with part of the sear of McDowell's corps who was in advance near the Rapidan, fell slowly back, delaying and embarrassing the enemy's ordnance as far as possible and capturing some of the men.

Friday , • ' • •: ' • r7 s""' artalive miles south of Culpepper, iiith Rick- The corps of Seigel which' bad marched all night, was halted in Oulpepper to ieat for .0. few hours, On Saturday the enemy advanced rapidly to Cedar Mountain, the sides of which they occu pied in heavy force. Gen. Banks was instructed to take up hispo. sition on the ground occupied by Crawford's brigade of his command, which had been thrown out the day previous to obseria the ene my's movements. He was directed not to advance beyond that point, and if attacked by the enemy to defend his position and send back timely notice. It was my desire to have time to give the corps of Siegel all the rest possible after their forced march, and to bririg . forward all the forces at my dl poem The artillery of the enemy opened early in , the afternoon, but he made -no advance ultif nearly 5 o'clock, at t yldch time a few skirtniah ers were thrown forward on each side, under cover of the heavy woods in which his, fort* was concealed. The enemy pttshed forward strong force in the rear of his skirmishere,-and General Banks advanced to the attack. The engagement did not fairly open urrtir6 o'clock, but for one and a half hours wits lard ors and unceasing. Throughout the cannonading, which at first was desultory and directed mainly against the cavalry, I had continued to receive reports from General Banks that no attack Was apprebinded, and that no considerable infantry force of the enemy had come forward yet. - Towards evening the increase in the artillery firing having satisfied me that an engagement , might be at hand,-though . the lateness of the hour rendered. it unlikely. I ordered General McDowell to advance Itickett's division to the support of Banks, and directed General Sigel to bring hie men upon the ground as soon_as possible. I arrived personally on the field at !even o'clock, P. N., and found the action -raging furionsly. The infantry fire was incessant' and severe., I found Banki in holding the 'position h - took early the morning. The losses were heavy.

DISTRESSING O.A.LAMITY. in Iraq Hospital Vessel sunk on the Potomac. Collision Between the Peabody and Wee Point SEVENTY=-THREE LIVES LOST I== New Yana, Aug 16-2 A. sr- The following despatch from the Potomachtur just been received : Actium. Crum, Va., Aug. 14.—A collision oc curred on thi Potomac last night off Ragged Point, between the steamers Peabody and West Point, involving a loss of 78 men. The Vest Point was borind to this place from Netepott News, with convalescent trbopa of Gen. Burnside's army. She sank in ten min utes after the accident. The Peabody brought the rescued soldiers and pewengers to this pint ; and from Lieut. Col. Scott, of the Bth New Hampehire regiment, who was on board the ill-fated vessel, and in dirge of the troops, I hive obtained the following accolust of the disaster. He says: We left Newport News on the 11th inst., with two hundred and fifty-four soldiers, four officers, three ladits and one child. At Fort ran's Monroe we took on board seventeen men, making, in all, two hundred and seventy nine souls. On Wednesday evening, the 18th inst., about eight o'clock, when off Bagged Point, we were startled by a shock, and soon discov ered that a collision bad taken place between our steamer and another named the George Peabody; bound down the river. 'The'' eak point began to leak very fast and Itatmcert ml i ine l. that she would sink in less The Peabody, which ti'acl been partially except with her small boats. Valuable aisiatance was rendered by Captains Biggs and Hell, and their assistants, quarter- Masters of General Burnside, who were passing in the , steainer, John F. Anon, and by Acting Master Joslyn, of the gunboat Reliance. An unknown bark also rendered valuable assistance, and by their combined efforts 208 persons were rescued. The West Point went down in four fathoms water, about one mile and a half from the Maryland ahore, and nothing stn be seen of her but her smoke stack, masts, and some wrench ed up Olarikroti ber deck. All her mew Was saved except one fireman, named johagitussell. The brill period during which the West Point remained afloat after striking, and the COW ter nation ' , which prevailed,. prevented efforts to save all frorti being entirely successful. Capt.
