THE NEW ORDERS.
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.

cussedithe insurmountable difference of the
races—the broad dk.tinction which now and
hereafter must exist - between the white and

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

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

seriously entertained by those so highly Inter

On Thursday morning, the enemy crossed,

and advanced strongly,cin the road to Culpep

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.

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

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.

Valuable aisiatance was rendered by Captains
Biggs and Hell, and their assistants, quarter-
Masters of General Burnside, who were passing

Master Joslyn, of the gunboat Reliance.
An unknown bark also rendered valuable
assistance, and by their combined efforts 208
persons were rescued.
