GEN. ROBERT A. PATTERSON.
lb the Editor of the Telegraph
Will you enlighten a soldier as to whether it
is true or uot, that Gov. Curtin is about, to
place Gen. Robt. A. Patterson at the head of the
troops now being organized for the defence of
the State f' Is THE RUM.
El=
We have no knowledge t hat Gen. Robert A.
Patterson is in quest of such a position, or that
he is urged for such a command on the Gov
ernor. But we will answer that we have more
faith in Gov. Curtin than to suppose that be
would do so unwise an act, which would be
alike unjust to himself and the brave men who
have rushed to arms in response to his sum
mons. Gen. Patterson is a failure as a soldier.
He has no claim upon the valor or the patriot
ism of the people of Pennsylvania, and we
verily believe that with his name put forth as
a leader, the demoralization of our troops
would be consumated before they left the.
State Capital.
This is the only reply that we can make to
our correspondent, unless we add the fervent
prayer that there is no foundation in faCt, for
the rumor that Patterson is to be called to the
command of our brave 'boys. • •
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BRECKINEIDGE
STATE COMMITTEE AT WORK.
We alluded to the fact, yesterday, that Frank
Hughes had suborned certain journals in this
State, and published a card to the effect that in
lien of services which were to be rendered to
the clique that Hughes now controls, the edi- I
tors of such journals were to receive certain sums I
of money—said money to be collected from the
deluded adherents of the clique aforesaid. In
a very lame paragraph, alluding to this charge,
bat failing to make any reference to the secret
circular which Hughes issued to the press in his
pay, the tory organ attempts to - ridicule the
affair, and thus, if possible, escape the odium
which it is bound to entail on all who are con
nected with the transaction. But in the very
same issue of the tory organ, we find that
Hughes has contributed a portion of the matter
which the Breckinridge committee proposed to
furnish the tory press. The readers of the tory
organ, this morning, could not have failed to
observe this tact, in an article of a column, filled
with the vilest attacks on the Government.—
tit was from the pen of Frank Hughes.
The tory organ will deny this—its proprietors
and controllers will assert in their usual gentle
manly and Democratic language, that the Tat
'GRAPH "Las," when it thus asserts that
Hughes has the control of their columns. This
is part of the game. If they acknowledged that
Frank Hughes had purchased their columns for
his uses, it would .defeat this game. It would
lay bare his scheme of rendering aid to the rebel
cause, and upset his plans to reach a place is
the United States Senate.
The testimony which we printed yesterday,
was ample and sufficient to show that the loco
foco press of this state was entirely within
the control of Hughes, and that he had bribed
it with money. Let this be denied, by those
who are now living and rioting on - die - bribe
money, successfully, if it can, and we will
then present other facts which may place this
business in a still more humiliating light.
ATTIMPT TO Draw rim HANITORD Aastriat.—
An attempt
. was made on Sunday night to set
the state arsenal at Hartford, Connecticut, on
fire,, but the incendiary was detected before lie
could consummate his undertaking. The
guard fired on him but he .managed to make
his escape. A quantity of cotton was satura
ted with burning fluid, a bottle of the fluid
and a box of matches were left behind, wider
one of the windows. As the guard have ball
cartridges, there is serious risk involved in such
an attempt.
IN THE BAITED of South Mountain, which was
fought on Sunday, on the turnpike road be
tween Middleton and Boonsboro,'Md:,' We took
between 1200 and 1600 prisoners. Our lose was
about 8000 killed and wounded. The rebels
loot 16,000 killed, wounded and missing.
Tun steamer Champion, from AspinWall 'on
the sth inst., arrived at New York yesterday,
w ith $984,415 in gold, and a large number of
passengers. The Panama papers gives report
of the death of Governor Guardia in a skirmish
with the revolutionary force*,
Tall USE OF THE CONFISCATION A 0.7
Andrew Johnson, of Tennesse, declared last
year, in Cincinnati, that " a rebel against this
government has no right to own anything."
In support of this declaration the New York
Evening Post claims that governments are es
tablished for the:protection of life and proper 7
ty, that the
,government of the United States
most perfectly fulfilled these offices, and that
when those who are now seeking to subvert it
strike a blow at the security of every kind of
property all over the. Union, the justice of
governor Johnson's remarks is at once evident.
The Congressional Confiscation act is only a
public and authoritative expression of this
maxim of a wise and loyal Southern man. It
has been assailed by rebel sympathizers, and by
persons who still hold to the belief that rebels
in arms should be conciliated'', but the best
proofs of its justice and—what is of equal im
portance—its effectiveness fits been givein with
in the last ICW weeks 'in 'Maryland and Ken
tudy.
The recent rebel raids into these States have
been and continue to be eminently unsuccess
ful, so far as regrads the political object Davis
and his Confederates hoped to achieve thereby.
Lee and Kirby Smith began their work at a
moment most auspicious of success for them.
Our armies had been beaten severely ; our af
fairs looked gloomy iu the extreme ; the rebel
armies everywhere seemed either victorious or
on the point of beating us ; loyal men through
out the Union were cast down ; rebel sympa
thizers everywhere were hopeful and joyous.
The Government seemed paralyzed ; its efforts
promised no immediate change for the better,
and the most confident began to lose heart.—
Under these circumstances Kirby Smith, after
cutting to pieces our only force in Kentucky,
issued a proclamation calling on the people to
rise and join his standard, and presently after
Lee issued his proclamation of deliverance in
Maryland.
What is the result ? Neither in Kentucky
nor in Maryland is there even an attempt at a
rising, such as the rebel leaders evidently ex
pected and to the last "moment looked for. It
is not pretended that the people of these States
are all or nearly all loyal. It Is known that a
considerable number are bitter enemies to the
government—persons who do all they dare to
help the cause of disunion. Why then did not
these—bitter, energetic, ready as they are, be
yond doubt—why did not they rise ?
The answer is plain. The Secessionists in
Maryland and Kentucky are notoriously the
men of property, the slave and land owners,
the wealthy men of these communities. They
would have revolted, but they remembered the
Confiscation Act;' they dared not run the risk
of personal loss. They would like to subvert
the tiniott,; theirhearts beat respensive to the
call of Lee and Kirby Smith ; but there, before
their eyes, blazes forth the act of Congress em
bodying the maxim of Andrew Johnson ; and
as they remembered that by the law of the rind
'a rebel against this government has no right to
own anything—is, in fact, deprived of every
thing—these men, bitter as is their enmity to
the Union, sealoue as is their love of rebellion,
coolly staid at home. They were like " the
deaf adder that stoPpethher ear ; which will
not hearken to the voice of charmers, charm
ing never so wisely." No entreaties could
bring them forth ; no rebel logic could con
vince them that they ought to rink the loss of
their property ; no rebel persuation could make
them forget, even for • a moment, the dreadful
Confiscation act, which tiling like a Den:lodes
sword over them. Lee and Kirby Smith might
say, sadly : "We have piped unto you, and ye
have not danced ; we have mourned unto you,
and ye have not lamented.".
No risk their friends had run for their sakes
would induce these secessionists to come to
their help ; and thus the first result of the
Confiscation act is the teaching of this bitter
lesson to the Confederate leaders, that those
who have not yet their necks in the halter,
will not now be induced to run the risk.; and
that they who have foolishly and wickedly be
gun the war are now calmly left in the lurch
by their friends in the border states
Let it , not be forgotten that this wholesome
effect is produced by the mere passage of the
Confiscation act, and that the loyalists of the
border slave states owe their security to-day,
their safety from the horrors of an insurrec
tion in their midst, simply to a .piece of legis.
lation which was opposed .by some of their
leaders as unwise. Impolitic as they thought
it, it has proved their salvation. If it
achieves no other end than this, which it has
already gained, this Act is worthy being re
garded as among the most beneficial which has
been devised. Formerly it was only hazardous
to be a Union man ; but it is now found to be
equally hazardous to give aid and comfort to
secession.
GENERALS POPE AND SIGEL
The special correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette at Washington writes that the Board of
Inquiry appointed to investigate the causes' of
the disasters of the Army of Virginia is to con
tinue its sessions, although the officers impli
cated are in active command. • It is whispered
that a colonel was supceruted as•a witness, who
was to prove that one corps started to reinforce
General Pope at Manassas, anti after marching
half a day the men found themselves a mile
and a half to the rear of. their place of starting.
The Commercial's correspondent says :
" General Pope informed a number of our
citizens that he entertained the highest regard
for General Sigel as a gentleman and a soldier.
He said also that he had wile special mention of
his services in the late battles in his oficia/ report.'
The document purporting to be his report ;
which was published, he says is only an abstract
in many respects garbled and imperfect, and
that be did not authorize its publication."
The correspondent of the Gazelle says :
-" Officers and soldiers in Sigel's immediate
command unite to testifying alike in his person
al bravery and his admirable military skill.
He is to.dar.the most_ thoroughly popular of
any of our fighting Generals in the eastern ar
mies, Burnside alone excepted. It does not
seem possible that the men whom he led into
ttle could bB decayed on a point on which
soldiers are so peculiarly jealous."

After the battles of South Mountain Gap and
Burkittsville Gap, fought respectively by the
forces of Burnside and Franklin on Sunday, the
enemy having been driven from their position,
fell back rapidly to Boonesboro, and thence
southward to Sharpsburg, and began crossing
the Potomac above ant below Sharpsburg.
The pursuit by our troops was rapid, Hooker
following by way of Boonesboro, supported by
Sumner and Banks, and capturingl.ooo prison
ers during the morning. The enemy break
fasted at Keedysville, three miles from Boones
boro, but our cavalry soon drove their rear
guard from that place.
Porter's and Reno's corps took - a shorter road
over the mountain, and 'arrived it Shargaburg
at sundown, Capturing.lhundreds of prisoner*
on the•way. • • -• • •
Franklin's corpe, eopPOrted by Couch's divi
sion, passed through Burkittsville Gap, which
he captured so handSomely, striking the road
leading direct from Bponesboro' to Harper's
ferry, and thence moving in the; direction of
the latter place, gaining Elk Ridge 'fountain,
which flanked the enemy' s position, and brought
them within good range of our artillery.
Franklin's corps fought a brilliant battle on
Sunday evening, at . Burkittsville Gap. The
enemy were terribly repulsed; though having
great advantages of position. ' Hancock's brig
ode made a charge up "a hill and captured a
battery of six pieces, Howell Cobb and 900 of
bis Georgians. Cobb is wounded 'and a prisoner.
The Sixteenth Virginia reginient was taken en
tire; and fragments of many other regiments. '
On Sunday Longstreet. marched back from
Hagerstown to reinforce those troops_ fighting
at the gaps. He arrived in time to join in the
rout. Brigadier General Garland, of Virginia,
Col. Strange, of ther Nineteenth - Virginia, and
Col. James, of the Third South Carolina bat
talon, -were all killed at South Mountain Gap
on Sunday evening. We have taken, since
Friday last, atiout 6,000 prisoners, with less than
the usual proportion of officers.
The mountains are full of straggling, starv
ing, and demoralized rebels, who are giving them.
selves up Gs fast as they can find their may into OUP
lines. On Thursday last Jackson crossed the
Potomac at Wllliatrisport, and marchedlolards
Harper's Ferry, which place be invested; On
Saturday he captured Maryland Heights on the
north, and London Heights on the south side
of the river. On Sunday he attacked the ferry,
but was repulsed. On Monday morning atday
light he renewed the attack, and the place was
surrendered by General Dixon G. Miles at seven
o'clock. This disaster will enable.the rebels to
cross the Potomac with the greater portion of
their force.
Yesterday evening, previous to this news,
M'Clellan and Burnside were rapidly making
such dispositions as would have resulted in the
complete dt feat or capture of nearly the entire
rebel host. Our troops pressed their rear hotly
last evening, and the prospect was most bril
liant, until we learned that Harper's Ferry was
no longer ours. About three o'clock the pick
ets of General Howe's brigade captured one of
Gen. Stuart's aids, who was on-his way to Gen.
Lee's headquarters with a dispatch from Jack
son, announcing the capitulation of the place
yesterday morning. The enemy having got
mainly across the river and into a strong posi
tion' a great battle, will probably be deferred
several days, until a new combination of move
ments is resolved upon.
- -The Union army is in splendid condition.
Theimen are all in light marching order, with
buoyant spirits over their sueeess. Several
regiments of new troops were in the fight of
Sunday, and behaved with great bravery.
The . seventeenth Michigan, out only two weeks,
fought till their ammunition was exhausted,
then retired to the wagons in good order,
refilled their boxes, returned and made a terri
ble charge over a stone wall and into the
timber, almost annihilating Drayton's South
Carolina Brigade. Our total loss will probably
not exceed twenty-five hundred in killed and
wounded, with a very small proportion of killed.
I can learn of few field officers killed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.
Agentleman from Annapolitratanls that three
transports arrived there yesterday from the
James river, bringing 250 paroled prisoner; in
cluding cmcers, teamsters,
sutlers and Mick
smiths. While marching through the city to
Camp Parole, they excited the sympathy of the
citizens, because of their tattered and destitute
condition ; many of them were without shoes,
hats or coats.
The_Government, in view of these facts, will
doubtless be prompt in relieving their neoissi-

It is represented that the number of paroled

PANIC OF- THE REBE LS
WeanKamm, Sept. 16, 1862
Great anxiety has been manifested here all
day to learn the fate of Harper's Ferry and its
gallant defenders. It was known that they
were completely surrounded by the rebel forces,
and had been sustaining a fierce and unequal
conflict for two whole days, and that no rein
foreements, except those from Martinsburg had
arrived.- Those who knew well the brave old
soldier killers; refused to believe that he hid
surrendered, but even the government had no
definite information on the subject.-
These doubts were solved this afternoon by
the following detailed account of affairs at the
Ferry furnished by a correspondeht of the
Herald— . . .
It will be seen that Colonel Miles, as he had
pledged himself to do, refused to surrender,
and that General White, who assumed the corn
mind after Colonel Miles was wounded, capitu
lated only at the last moment of possible resis
tance against an overpowering force, by which
tke posit i. , n was surrounded on all sides.
Harper's Ferry was surrendered to the rebels
at ten o'clock Monday forenoon. All the pri
soners—officers and men—were paroled. The
Cavalry, about, 2,500 hundred . in number, on
Sunday evening crossed the Potomac on a pOl7-
toon bridge to the Maryland Bide, and cut their
way through the enemy's lines; Making their
escape. The rebels report that they (the cav
alry) had a severe fight, and lost 200 or .300
in killed, wounded and prisoners in the opera
tion.
About 8,000 men were captured by the rebels
In all at the final surrender.
I cannot learn the numbers of the rebels, but
they were very large. The fight was com
menced on Friday afternooon, our batteries on
the Maryland Heights and Camp Hill, at Har
per's Ferry, opening upon the rebels on the
Maryland side. To this they did not reply, not
being yet ready to commence the contest.
On Saturday the rebels made an attack with
artillery on our forces on the Maryland Heights.
This was supported by a large infantry force,
and the fighting continued through the day.
There were a good many killed and wounded
during th:a rigid on both . sides. The rebels say
they had only one bilged(' of infantry engaged
in this battle. Upon our side the infantry en
gaged was the Thirty-Second Ohio, One Hun
dred and Twenty-sixth Ne.w :Yofk; - thir First
regiment Maryland Hume Guards, Col lid.osely,
and the Garibaldi Guards, of New York. Other
regiments were there, but the above named
sustained the.brunt of the fight.
About font P. M., our forces abandoned Ma
ryland Heights, the rebels having been largely
reinforced and overpowering them.. The retreat
was madii-tri . good order. The artillery was
Opted and our wounded taken away. During
the day the rebels made their appearance on
Loudon Heights, which is on the Virginia side,
about a mile and a half from Harper's Ferry.
Their signal corps appeared on the Block House,
and commenced operations. They were . Aerie
ed from Camp Hill, and at the third shell dis
appeared. They, however, continued to appear
at this point at intervals through the day, not
withstanding our fire. . .
•
During Saturday they weie planting batteries
there, which Would corn and both Bolivar
Heights and Harper's Ferry. Daring Saturday
afternoon the rebels, also made their appearance
in force on the Charleston.. turnpike. They
were shelled from Bolivar Heights, but did not
return the fire daring all this time. It is un
derstood that Col. Miles was in command during
all this time. General White was present and
engaged in • the contest, but declined to take
command, although it was tendered to him by
Col. Miles.
On Sunday morning there was infantry skir
mishing on the Charleston turnpike. The
rebels also used artillery from the same direc
tion ; but little damage was done, and for two
or three hours the fighting was almost entirely
suspended. About two P. M. the enemy suc
ceeded in getting their batteries in position on
London Heights, and a heavy artillery fire was
commenced by them simultaneously from Lou
don and Maryland Heights and from the
direction of the Charleston turnpike. The
cannonading from this time until about sunset
was terrific. Our batteries from Bolivar Heights,
and, in. fact, every gun that could be brought
to bear upon the enemy replied. While this
was taking place there was a general infantry
engagement on the Charleston turnpike. Nearly
our whole force was engaged in this battle.
The rebels were in very strong force and the
fighting was desperate. While this was going
on the Garibaldi Guard crossed the river. and
brought off the artillery left on the Maryland
Heights except the three siege guns.
During the night of Sunday the rebels had
placed additional batteries in position, and at
daylight Monday morning opened from seven
or eight different points. They, in fact, com
pletely surrounded the Union forces.
About eight o'clock A. it. Col. Miles was se
verely wounded in the left leg by a piece of
shell. After this the command was assumed,
by Gen. White. Reinforcements not coming
up as had been anticipated, it was thought use
less to further continue the fight, and tlip
works, with all the faces ' &c.,. were surren
dered at tea a. a. by Gen. White to Gen. Hill.
The officers and privates were paroled, and
the above account is from M. J. Cable, bugler,
and Peter I. Caughliti, a private in the Mary
land cavalry, who were paroled, and arrived
here this -morn.ng:

THE PANIC OF THE REBELS,
sudden EVACURIIOO of Harper's Ferry
After its Capture.
WARRINGTON, Sept. 16
The following important intelligence has just
been received. It puts a new phase upon the
condition of affair's at Harper's Ferry. and
shows that, although there has been no direct
intelligence from General McClellan during to
day, the enemy are evidently panic-stricken,
and unwilling to await-the approach of his vic
torious army, even in the strong position
where, by dint of overwhelming numbers, the
small garrison under ca. Miles and General
White were compelled to surrender, after uear
ly three days hard fighting, and after Colonel
Miles had been serioturly w. , unded and incapa
dated for further participation in the defence
of the position. The information is telegraphed
to-night from the N. "E. Herald correspondent
at Frederick. ,
