TREY WANT SAORIFIGM.
There are a certain class of men in the loyal
States who have been, from the beginning, op
posing the war on all sorts of pretexts, both as
relates to its justice and its effects upon the
country hereafter. When the conspirators, be
gan to show signs of revolt, 'lnd when the en
tire South was arming for resistance to the Gov
ernment, these men declared that the Govern
ment had no power to coer.e a people into obe
dience to the laws. The right of revolution
was among the most sacred privileges of a
people, and against it no Government could,
justly urge Its power. These arguments were
offered by the Northern eympathizers with re
bellion,toafford the rebels time to complete their;
plans to overthrow the Government; arid when
it was supposed that they had succeeded in that
part of their business, the boast was made that
the Government lacked the nerve and the men
to subdue the South. This wee only another
pretext to delay operations on the part of those
who were at the head of affairs. It was a mean
trick to intimidate the masses of the people in
localities. But when States pagan to arouse
and gather their energies, and communities con
tributed their strength to the support of the Gov
ernment, the opposition to, and depreciation of
the abilities of the people, were changed by_ a!
sudden admiration for the Constitution. Almost
in one voice, we now hear the men who of all
others are accountable for the cacee and pro
longation of the war, clamoring for the Consti
tution, demanding that sacrifices be made to
timbre its safety. Their 'vision does not extend
to thebloody fray which is ragingic one section,,_
for the defence and the safety of the: whole
Union. They have no ear fot the sound of
contending armies—the one battling for law
and order, the other struggling - for, dominion
mid power, that ,afavored clast May lord at
over the mass. But these men, the same who
opposed the war as coercion, next he intite, int
then again becameabe enraptured admirers'of
an instrument whose fair proportions as it came
from the hands of its authors, they were the
first to mar—thew tnen now demand sacrifices.—
They ask that the veterans of the cause of lib
erty be set aide—that the men who have for
years opposed the , wrongs ofelavery be ejected
from all public places—that)he statesmen who
first took ground against rebellion be sacrificed
to its fury, and then only can we hope for
peace and temerity, This claim,', in audacity
and cowardly meanness, eiceeds even the claim
Of the "right of rebellion. It was first announced
by James Buchanan, who appealed to the peo
ple of Lancaster county for the sacrifice of Thad
deus Stevens—since which we hear of its repe
tition In the loyal states, by men who joined
Buchanan in bringingabout rebellion, and who,
withldm, are willing tonna° any‘taicrifice that
the respoosioility of this monster wrong may
not be traced to their actions.
It this Union is ever to be rescued from con
spiracy, and preserved forever hereafter from
the shocks and the danger of rebellion, it must
be by making sacrifices of the cense of that re
hellion, instead of the champloni of peace and
order and liberty. Neither slavery nor its ad
vocates and sympathizers, have any claim to
compromise or consideration. The sacrifice
mast be made in that direction—its crushing
out and its utter extinction must be accom
plished. artery itself mug be sacrificed, and then
peace and union and prosperity will again bless
the land.
Isaac B. Hamm was unearthed by the politi
cal resurrectionists who were engaged in the
constitutional celebration in Lancaster city ort the
17th inst. Isaac is one of those over wise
gentlemen whc think the world wrong, all
wrong, because the people do not agree that
they.are great. Isaac was sent to Congress by
the party wtich he now assails, and made a
miserable failure as a legislator. His stomach
bas been soured ever since, and hence his ad

THE GREAT UPRISING AND GOVERNOR
OUR7IN.
Two weeks ago, the shrewdest and the most
far-seeing mei in Washington were discussing
the probabilities of au invasion of Pennsylva
nia, with an indifference that either betokened
a lack of patriotism Or a want of sympathy.
It was .asserted that the rebels had crossed the
Potomac, entered Maryland in triumph, and
were about to be greeted by the citizens of
that State as a peoide long oppressed only knew
how to welcome their deliverers. " Maryland,
my Maryland," iu the euphonious language
of the rebel poet, was ripe for revolution. The
people, i rom the purse proud traitor whohas been
suffered to live in peace too long in Baltimore'
to the starving nigger breeder of the lower
counties, panted for an opportunity to strike a
blow for diet? own independence and the eman
cipation of Maryland - "from the thro/i of the
federal government." Understanding this to
be the sentiment of the entire people of Mary
land, Jeff Davis resolved upon invading that
State with the conviction that what was promised
by the traitors would be carried out by the peo
ple. He had a right to expect this, because
the soil of Maryland had already been wet with
the blood of loyal men, slain as sacrifices to the
foul spirit of rebellion. He was emboldened to
put faith in the traitors of Baltimore, because the
blood of loyal soldiers was scarcely dry in its
streets. HenCe the invasion of Maryland. Bat
this does not explain the refusal of the people of
tjiat state to rise in welcome of the rebel army.
We are not so dull as to be deceived with the
notion that the refusal Was lodged to any real
feeling of loyaly to the Government, because a
people having the same interests in slavery as
those which the people of Maryland possess,
are naturally the enemies of freedom, and
•h.ince in part the foes of the Federal Govern
ment. What, then, the reader will ask, was
it that thus overawed the people of Maryiand,
and restrained them from rising to assist the
invading rebel army ? We answer, the over
shadowing might of the people, and the prompt action
of the Governor of Pennsylvania. Had Governor
Curtin remained inactive, and contented himself
with the aid he has already contributed to the
Federal Government—had he resolved only to
defend the bordere of Pennsylvania from in
vasion, and satisfied his patriotism with thel
mere discharge of his duty to his immediate
constituents, the federal army to-day, instead
of being victorious and exultant, might have
beendefeated if not exterminated. It was the
energy of the Executive of Pennsylvania that
aroused the ardor and the action of the people
—and these once awakened in a demonstration
of immense numbers of armed men rushing to
he borders of the state, the people of Mary
land were convinced that for them to offer wel
come to the rebels, was at once to make their
territory the scene of a conflict, so devastating,
so terrible and so fierce, that the state and its
Inhabitants' world have beui irredeemably ru-
A reflection likeihbt does not spring from egot
ism: We do not claim for Gov. Curtin any super
latively great or 4nizampled sagacity for this
action. It is the, simple result ofe simple per
formance , of duty. It is the effect of the
prompt lotion of a brate man,, determined to
take a reepogalbflitifp an hoar of .greatperil
to the Union and the state 'over whith hopre=
sides. At that very hour, when clov. "Celtic
summoned the brave men p . f l'Anney,lvania to
the resche, the :merchants of New. York city
were beginning to calculate the chtinCes of the
invasion of the Empire state, and they w e re
netually 'estlinating, the damage 1.114 would
suffer by such a disaster. In the midst of their
panic they offered their aid to stay the victori
ous rebel army Petinsylvanbs; and no , doabt if
ever Jackson or Lee had reached;the Capital of,
this state, the next proposition of the-tutMe class
would have been for peace, Wheel - hires con :

Pennsylvania courteously declined the aid' of
New York Pennsylvania *gallantly alined
for' her own.defence, and she is, now not only
tote keystone of the Federal Arch; but the
Bock against which rebellion drufheti its fordes

and fury in" 'vain.' It is not denianding
_too
much, then, to claim for Governor, Curtin and
the people of Pennsylvania, the credit of having
created the force and aroused the " Influence
which Inflicted the final blow and brought about
theeternal deitruation of the slave-holders' re-
belliou. With a reserve force of seventy-five
thousand men ready to take part in any light,
hi which the people of Maryland offered to par
ticipate, it was not to be wondered at that the
rebels entered Maryland without a welcome.
The promised Welcome was hushed before the
bristlirig bayoriets that &anted on the, borders

them.
OOMMENCIMINT ON TES BATUMI
The regular cannonading commenced this
morning at six o'clock. The booining of the
artillery was most terrific. The balls were
whizzing through the air and their sound
had the shrill tone of a locomotive whistle.
The rebels repli d but slowly, which was attiib
uttd to their want of ammunition.
A RXGULAR MAGSMEINT
About nine o'clock in the morning a regular
musketry engagement took place. You cannot
imagine.the rapitity with which they were fired,
and the slaughter was severe. The rebels
attempted several times to outflank our troops,
but they failed in every instance.
REBELS Valli= BACK
About half put nine the fire .was awful, and
the rebels began to fall
. back in considerable
disorder.
Ova =pops MAKE A CHARGE
The_rebels had the advantage of -‘position all
day—the conattcy on `which lithe fight took
place being very hilly, with deep ravines, tol
erably well wooded. They would always stay
lathe woods, and our forces had to shell them
out or drive them back at the point' of the bay
onet. - •
At half past eleven the command was given
to charge on the rebels, who were located be
hind a large barn in a piece of woods and corn
field. The men gave a lond.hurrah and ran up
the hill in double quick time. We could
plainly see the rebels fly in disorder. The
rebels were completely driven from the ground,
with a loss of not less than three thousand.
The field was litterally covered with the dead
and woundtd, which were all left le our hands.
It was reported that Gene. Booker and Frank
lin were slightly wounded, but not to such an
extent that they had to leave the field. A
rebel battery of eighteen guns was captured,
and any number of rebel flags.
CAPTURE OP P1L1002,1120
About twelve o'clock an entire regiment of
about one thousand rebels were tskau prison
ers and escorted hark to the lines - of the naval.
ry. A large number of officers were among
them.
A rumor was also spread throughout the
camp that Gene. Lee and Jacirson were wound
ed, but nothing positive could be tualertained.

FROM THE BATTLE FIELD,
SamErviraca, Sept. 18.
I was-on the battle field again this morning.
Its appearance bestirs all description. Our
own wounded had been removed from the field
and the dead buried as rapidly as their last
resting place could be prepared.
THE UMBEL DEAD AND WOUNDED
- The rebels asked for an armistic this morn
ing to take their wounded from the field, which
was granted, and were slowly engaged in
their removal, but it seemed that they cared
but little for their dead as they were found
lying neglected in every direction.
AcOrnfleld and piece of woods were literally
covered with them. The body of Gen. Evans'
alrebel, was found among the dead; at least the
papers found in his pocket gave his name as
Evans.' • "
T.llll ILUIRLIBIMG DEAD
I have already noticed the death of the
bravti Capt. Brook€ ; he fell Early in the action
and lived scarcely two hours after receiving
his wound.
George Etter, of company I, 46th Regimeut,
Col. Knipe's, was killed yesterday, by a bullet
entering the head, behind the ear. I saw him
burled this morning on the farm of a Mr. Mid
dlecoff, some ten miles from Hagerstown. The
grave was properly marked.
Colonel Knipe expressed great regret at
losing such a brave and good soldier. He
would have been promoted shortly, but such,
was his fate, and he now sleeps as one of the
brave defenders of this Union.
Henry C. Hopple, of the Kepner Fencibles,
is also among the killed, and he too lies burled
on the same farm, with his grave properly
marked. Harry was well known in your city.
and made an excellent and brave soldier. He
leaves behind him a wife, whose likeneks was
in his memorand em book, which was sent home
by a gentleman from Harrisburg.
Oliver Simm , .os, of yJur city, was superin
tending the burial of the Harrisburgers, and I
can assure their frie.lds that it was properly at
tended to. Oliver is dAngerously wounded in
the side.
DiIIDEES KILLED.
The loos in officers has been, as usual, very
large, and I believe that their uniform dress
had much to do with it They can tell our
officers at a distance while their own can scarce
ly be recognized from privates. lam credita
bly informed, that General Jackson dresses as
plain as any of his men, and that he changes
his di ess daily. Col. Crossdale of the 128th
Pennsylvania Volunteers, (new regiment,) was
killed. Warner, of Beading, who resigned his
office es Mayor of the city of Beading, escaped
unhurt, but I have it direct from an eye wa
nes', that. he behaved most bravely and
that lie led ..his regiment- op to 'the enemy most
courageously. We met him this morning• in
excellent health, and ready again to face the
enemy. Col. McNiel, of the Bucktalls, is among
the killed. Gen. Mansfield, an old army officer,
was also killed.
General Meagher Is badly wounded. Genii;
Max Weber, Done Won and Redo wick and Hook
er were but slightly wounded—the latter in
the foot.
General . Franklin was not wounded at all,
although it was positively stated yesterday,
that be had been slightly wounded.
VCRY LITTLE FIRING
Very little Bring took place to-day ; both par
ties were engaged in hurrying the dead, and at
tending to the wounded. The rebels have fallen
back some two miles, and are located in a piece
of woods on elevated grounds. Some litttle
;ou r
took place on the right wing of
army. Our army is now extended to the
'river on the left and right wings and the rebels
are completely hemmedlin. They must now
out their way through our forces if they wish
to escape. lam satisfied that we are prepared
for them in any emergency.
Large reinforcements of fresh troops have ar
rived here. The whole of Banks division ar
rived here this morning. The Pennsylvania
Militia were sent this morning to Williamsport,
sd., where they are expected to check Jack
ion's retreat.
It. is also stated that Gee. Siegel is on the
other side of thePotamac watching their move
ments, and I am sure if he meets the rebels he
will throw shot and shell into them abun.

GEN. eoragrzell ox Tax FIELD
At about twelve o'clock Gen. M'Olellan and
staff rode up to the heachirtartr.rs of Gen. Sum
ner, where he cordially greeted those present,
and after receiving an introduction to the hero
of the day, we retired. The General entered at
once into an earnest conversation with Gen.
Sumner.
All along the lines where the Getunal passed
.he was greeted with loud cheers, which he
properly atknowledged.
THE NMIMEII Og BILLED AND WOUNDSD
It is impossible to give an accurate estimate
of the number of killed or-wounded. The list
is very large, but I am satisfied that the rebels
lost at least three to our one. The battle-field
shows it plainly.
YIN CARP...RIX COUNTY CAVALRY.
I have just heard from Capt. Byers cavalry.
They left Hagerstown for Williamsport, with
instructions froni Capt. Palmer that if their

Wasauturoni Sept. 19.--lo' reply to inqui
ries concerning the truth of reporta that Gen.
Lee had turned Gen. McClellan's left flank and
is now between him and. Frederick, it is suffi
cient to say that there is in them no truth
wbateyer, nor is it known here other than from
newspaper accounts, that an armistice was
granted
From Gem irClellais Army
Pa,rtionlars of the Battle of Wednes-
I am satisfied now that all is with the Army
of the Potomac. I haVe just had a conversa
tion with a gentleman who left the battle field
at 9 o'clock on Wednesday night. He confirms
the statement of the special correspondent of
the associated press published this morning in
every particular.
He says, we occupied the position chosen by;
the enemy at the commencement of the battle
who'were driven back a mile and a half at all
points, except on the extreme right, which
they still held at the close of the day.
My informant was all day within a hundred
yards of Gen'l. McClellan and says, that the
result of the day was regarded by - him and his
staff as a glorious victory. There was no falter
ing at any point of the line, and the whole
army was exultant at the result of the day's
fight.,
General M'Clellan was in high spirits. His
opinion and that of those around him was, that
the final result would depend on who got up
reinforcements first.
Re says nothing was heard on the field of the
capture of Longstreet, or killing of Hill, and
there is no truth in either rumor.
20,000 more reinforcements were expected to
reach the field yesterday, from Harrisburg. He
thinks the enemy's loss is fully equal to ours.
The gentleman from whom this information IS
derived, and who is one of our most intelligent
citizens, expresses the opinion that whilst the
battle of Tuesday was not a decisive one, it was
a contest in which all the advantages wece- ;
with Gen'l. McClellan, whl3.eccupied the field:
of battle at the close of the day.
