Saturday Afternoon, October 18,1882.
TR2 RECONNOISSANCE FROM SREP-
ARDSTOWN.
From one of the special correspondents of an
eastern cotemporary, who arrived in this city at
noon to-day, from the army of the Potomac ,
we learn that Gen. Humphreys, in command of
twelve hundred regulars under Major Lovell,
Tyler's brigade of new Pennsylvania troops,
and Griffin's brigade, with two batteries and a
cavalry force, made a successful reconnoissance
from Sbepardstown, conjointly with a sdmilat
expedition under Gen. Hancock from Harper's
Ferry.
The troops crossed the Potomac early on
Thursday morning, below Shepardatown, drove
In the enemy's pickets and rapidly advanced
Into the country. Four miles" from the river
they encountered the enemy's cavalry and in
fantry, posted on a wooded hill. After a brisk
skirmish, lasting for an hour, the enemy retired,
leaving five dead on ihe field and two prisoners.
The casualties among the Union troops were one
killed and two wounded.
Hrimphreys' command camped on Thursday
night at Kearneysville, and early yesterday
morning resumed their march towards Lees
town, where they arrived at twelve o'clock. A
body of cavalry had been sent over to Smith
field, where a portion of Hancock's men were
met. The enemy was seen in considerable
force beyond Lees town and Smithfield, the lett
wing of his main army resting at Bunker Hill.
Having fully acompliehed the object of the
expedition, the troops returned to this side of
the Potomac at ten o'clock last night. General
Humphreys paid a high compliment to the new
troops from this state for their gallant behavior
in the face of the enemy.
THE RESULT OF LAST TUESDAY
The result of hat Tuesday's election may be
summed up in the election of fifteen Union
members to the next Congress, counting Mr.
Bailey as a friend of the administration. He
was supported on that principle by all Republi
cans in the district, and opposed by a regular
Breckenridge candidate, Mr. Glossbrenner.—
Among those that are elected as Democrats in
Republican districts, are Messrs. McAllister,
from the Blair district, and Dennison, from the
Susquehanna, who are also pledged to render
a (•or dial support to the administration.
The Union men will certainly have a majority
in the Legislature or, joint ballot, thus securing
a U. S. Senator and we expect the Union State
ticket is also safe, unleFs our strong Republican
counties in the north and west have too many
men in the army, and that their majorities are
thereby too much reduced .
The loyal citizens at house and abroad can
now see for themselves what party does the
fighting. All the Locofoco counties poll more
than their usual majorities, while our vote is
reduced in Republican counties by the absence
of the voters in the army. No- wonder that
the party is opposed to the soldier' vote.
We sum GaBITTING TO 'EDWARD MOPIEBREION,
printer, editor and legislator ; and offer to him
the renewal of our faith in his purposes and
friendship for his person. Political defeat to
oh a man will prove the incentive to larger
exertions in some other direction, where honor
can be as fairly earned and service as manfully
rendered as in the halls of legislation. The
people of his district will live to regret the action
and die despising the motive, which prompted
them to the ingratitude of his defeat. He was
the most faithful man that ever represented the
same people. His effort was always of a kind
which related to their interests, while his seal
was never more active than when engaged in,
some work for the promotion of their prosperi-
Hy. But thus it is when passion and prejudice,
instead of patriotism and purity, rule the judg
ments of men. They forget what is due to
others and best for themselves ; and when too
late, mourn !he act which insures them disgrace.
Thus it will be with the people of more than
one Congressional district in Pennsylvania be
fore the next Congress has consumed three
months of the time of its season. Mark our
prediction.
Is au ma NOM aioug the route of the
rebel raid in Pennsylvania had manifested the
same vigilance and displayed the same courage,
es did the good people of Adams county and
Gettysburg, horses and cattle would not be as
scarce in that region as they are now. The fol
lowing from the Star and Banner of Gettysburg,
16th inst., exhibits their vigilance and its re
sults : About a half dozen of the ad vance
guard of the rebel cavalry reached New Salem,
on the Chambersburg road, about six miles from
this place, on Sattird4y last, and were met by a
squad of('apt. McCreary's men under Sergeant
James Mickley, and were driven back. A
number of shots were exchange d, but tic o ee
was injured. Our boys succeeded in capturing
one rebel, and brought him into town shortl
after a prisoner. He was immediately sen.-
Harrisburg. The affair created considers
joicing. They also recovered a fine black ho
which the rebels had taken a few minutes be
fore from Mr. Andrew Hartman. The whole
affair was managed admirably, and the boys
deserve credit for their courage.

the Southern Conteduiacy since the battle of

OUT OF .7111 t WOODS.
The Philadelphia Inquxer, the other day,
claimed that the result of the recent election
in Pennsylvania, was a victory for the Govern
ment, or the Administration. To this the Pa
triot and Union objected in strong terms, and to
this objection we assented, because as the Patriot
' claimed the victory for the Breckenridge De
mocracy, it could not therefore be a triumph of
the Government. These two principles, civil
religious liberty and Breckenridge Democracy,
are as absolutely opposed to each other as light
and darkness. The difference between them
is as broad as that between slavery and freedom,
Breckenridge Democracy, whether it is repre
sented in the bold but theoretical opposition of
the traitors of the north, to the representatives
of a free government, or whether it is displayed
in the open, bloody, persistent and malignantly
armed opposition of the traitors of the south
to that Government itself, is still the same It
is no matter whether, as the Patriot claims, that
party is successful or not, it is still treason,
from whatever point we may view its position.
If it is victorious, so much the worse for the
Government, and the greater our duty to be
firmer in its opposition. If defeated, the more
cause we will have to rejoice, and the greater
the prospect of the success and triumphant
vindication of the power and majesty Of free
principles. But admitting the claims of the
Paersot, that the Breckenridge Democracy have
been successful in this State, what is to follow ?
They claim that they are loyal, and yet they
have covenanted to put an end to this war, not
by vindicating the power and the authority of
the Government, but by protecting and en
trenching in still stronger privileges the very
influences which produced treason. If free
Government is to be benefitted by such princi
ples, then have principles vastly changed since
freedom became a means of elevating and im
proving mankind, and we have a notion that
hundreds and thousands of men will live to
mourn the infatuation which wooed them to
oppose the national administration, before the
year is out, because the success of the
Breckenridge Democracy, if they really
have gained even what they claim, (which
we doubt) will do more to encourage
the rebel hordes of the south to attack our
borders and invade our territory, than the
a idition of a hundred thousand regiments to
their armies. It is natural and logical that
this should be so, because the Breckenridgers
of the free states, have definitely and invaria
bly insisted that the south was right and the
government wrong—that the defenders of
slavery had justice and law for their support,
while those who opposed slavery as that oppo
eitiou was deemed essential to the crushing out
of rebellion and the vindication of the Federal
government, were denounced as traitors.
The Tory Organ is welcome to its exuberance
at what it imagines is a victory of its candi
dates, but we deny that there has been any
victory to justify it in declaring that the fed
eral administration has been repudiated. It
may go on, and present the results of the late
election as encouragement for its peculiir fol
lowers and adherents to oppose that adminis
tration, but while it is thus engaged, we insist
that it adds to its already crushing guilt of
treason, and renders itself daily more answer
able to the law which it has so often outraged.
So far as the principle of Republicanism is con
cerned, the principle of free government and
of allegince to the federal administration as
it represents that government—so far as this
principle is concerned, it has as mapy real, de
voted adherents in this state as it had when it
was made the issue and Abraham Lincoln was
elevated to the Presidency. But unfortunately
for that principle and this issue, those brave
men are temporarily absent in the service of
the government. Unfortunately too, tor the
soldier who defends the honor of his country
with his life, he was dis ranohised by a
Democratic Supreme Court anticipating just
such a political emergency. Had all this been
otherwise, the Breckenridgers of the north,
would not have been permitted even to imag
ine that they were out of the woods, but like
the Breckenridgers of the south, been compel
led to remain in the woods, behind their mask
ed batteries, forever to light free government,
free principles and free men.
BOLD THEN TO THEIR COVENANTS'
We have had the question put to us, since the
election, in a sort of taunting triumphant man
ner, whether the draft and the taxes would not
stop ? Those who put this question are those
who were deluded into voting for Miller on the
plea that if he was elected he would end the
war with a dash of his pen—abolish taxation
with a wink of his eye, and stop the draft with
a nod of his head. Of course the people who
voted for any of the Breckenridge candidates,
will hold all those that secured votes by such
promises, to their covenants. The great cry
against taxation, now that the government has
borrowed the resources of the people, is akin
to the repudiating propensities of the men
who make it. When the nation was first as
sailed by armed rebellion, and when it became
necessary to raise and equip large armies, the
very men who now clamor against taxation,
were the most profuse in their demands for pro
tection. When a loan was proposed, they re
related its justice, and urged still further that
a patriotic loan should be tendered by the peo
ple, in such sums as each man was able to sub
scribe, instead of permitting the government to
be at the mercy of the banks, the brokers and
the innumerable sharpers who crowd the money
marts of the land. Such a loan was freely
offered. Many a man honestly subscribed his
all, believing it to be a safe investment and a pa =
txiotic manner in which to evince a disposition
lo support the Government. Such as these
will be greatly cheered by the fact that the
Breckenridgera of this state have covenanted to
repeal all tax bills and repudiate all the debts
of the Government., The men who voted for
their candidates on this promise have of course
been duped, but this does not lessen the crime
on the one hand, or the ingratitude on the
other ; because the debt which the taxes lately
lt-v , ed are to pay, was a just and. honorable
debt. Those who covenanted to give men
votes that this might be repudiated, are as
dishonest as those who offered to secure repudia
tion. Thus the duper and the duped are ex
posed in their corruption and their meannees.

THE PROMOTION OF THE DESERVING.
In the midst of the excitement of the elec
tion, and the importauce of securingtbe success
of sound Union man and pure Republican prin
ciples, we have omitted or neglected to pay that
attention to other matters which they will and
must receive hereafter. Among these, is au
order from the War Department lately com
municated to the Governors, professing a de
sire that, hereafter, vacancies in the army
should be filled by promoting officers, commis
sioned and non-commissioned, and privates,
who have distinguished themselves on the field,
or who have shown capacity for military com
mand. Our readers will bear us witness that
this is the identical policy which we have been
urging through the columns of the TZLIGEAFR
ever since the armies to crush rebellion were
organised. We had almost despaired of ever
seeing such a principle recognised and estab
lished, when the order referred to was issued,
assuring us that the Department was deter
mined to respond to reason, and thus do justice
to the real valor and worth in the army.
Common justice and common sense demand
that the shoulder-strap be held out, as the re
ward of the brave and faithful soldier. He has
a right to expect it, and when the reward Is
taken from him, and bestowed upon those not
deserving, it serves to dispirit and demoralize,
Sometimes, to a fearful extent. It has been
too much the case, that military favors have
been obtained by political influences, and we
have, within our own knowledge, frequent in
stances where the command of men who have
fought many battles, has been given to indi
viduals who never smelt gunpowder.
There is another feature of the same question on
which the War Department, singularly enough,
$ dies just the opposite ground. It refuses to
allow new regiments to be officered from the old
ones. This was a great error. There was a
gem ral disposition among the Governors to use
the appointments for the neW army us a re
ward to the more faithful soldiers of the old
One ; but General Halleck immediately, and
with his usual abruptness, rejected the propo
sition.
The result is, in nine cases out of ten, that the
officers of the new regiments have to be in
structed before they can instruct their men. It
is a great loss of time and efficiency. However,
we can overlook that, if hereafter promotion is
to be really the reward of valor on the field.
When that practice becomes universal in the
army, then will shoulder straps become a badge
of honor, and not, as in too many instances
now, a disgrace to the army and a shame to the
nation.
We trust, now, that the War Department
has expressed an opinion on tile subject, that
the Governors will not travel out of the army
to procure officers to fill vacancies. No man
should be appointed to any position in the
army, unless it is done from the ranks, or from
one grade to another. It is a service which
needs personal experience as well as personal
merit, and on these only should meu be com
missioned.
THE PRINCIPLE HULL SURVIVES.
Whatever the Breckenridgere may claim, and
however they may attempt to make capital for
their traitor allies in the south, the principle of
Republicanism, the eternal principle of free
government, still survives in Pennsylvania.—
As far as this principle could be directly made
sa issue, and wherever it was thus broadly ac
cepted in the election of those who were to
Occupy position where it could be tested, it sig
nally triumphed. It has triumphed by the
Republican Union men electing a majority
of the Congressional representatives. It ha
more than triumphed by the overwhelming
majority of the popular vote in the various dis
tricts being largely in favor of the administra
tion, as our Congressional candidates represented
its policy. There is a significance in this fea
ture of the result in this state, which the Breck
enridgere will labor to conceal from their allies
in the south, but which will have its influence
in sustaining the administration in the next
Congress. It is an evidence, too, of the calm,
deliberate judgment of the people—a test of
principle where its issues were fairest made,
which cheers US to our resolution never to cease
opposing the influences of rebellion both as
they armed in the -oath and politically organ
ised in the north, to embarrass and destroy free
government.
MAJOR-GENERAL JOSEPH HOOKER
This distinguished military chieftain, whose
triumphant services have raised him so high in
the admiration and confidence of his country in
this great crisis, was born in Hadley, Mass., in
1819, and is consequently thirty-three years of
age. His parents are not living. He has no
brother. Two of his three sisters are married
in Jefferson county, N. T., and the other in
Cincinnati. He is himself a bachelor. He en
tered the army from West Point in 1887, Second
Lieutenant First Artillery, and was promoted
First Lieutenant in 1838. Adjutant Military
Academy in 1841. Regimental •Adjutant in
1841. to 1846. Throughout the Mexican war,
in all its hard conflicts, he was well-known as
one of "the bravest of the brave," as he is now
so well known in this struggle. He was brevet
ted captiin in 1848 "for gallant conduct in the
several conflicts at Monterey, on the 21st, 22d
and 23d of September, INS.' Brevetted Cap
tain Staff—Assistant Adjutant-General--1847,
and again in the same year brevetted Major,
"for gallant and meritorious conduct in the
affair at the National Bridge." Brevetted
Lieuteuant•Colonel in same year, also "for gal
lant and meritorious conduct at the battle of
Chapultepe,c." Thus much for his career in
the Mexican campaign.
In 1848 he rose in regular line of promotion
in his regiment to a full captaincy, and in the
same year vacated his regimental commission
and accepted tue appointment of Assistant Ad
jutant-General with rank of captain, which po
sition be continued to fill till in 1858, when he
resigned while on duty in California, purchased
a tract of land, and became a farmer in Bono.
ma, on the Bay of San Francisco. From this
employment, when the Government made an
appropriation for a National road. connecting
California and Oregon, he was summoned to
superintend that enterprise by Col. Bache, of
the Topographical Engineer Corps," who was in
charge of that appropriation, and who well un
derstood his capacity and fidelity. Gen. Booker
had just finished his work and returned to Cali
fornia when, like Cincinnatus, he was literally
summoned from his plow to fight the battles of
his country. At the first reverberation of the
artillery of Fort Sumter upon the shores of the
Pacific, he started immediately for the field of
conflict, and on his arrival here was in May,
1881, made Brigalier-General of Volunteers,
and placed in commatid of the First and Elev
enth Ilaseachusetta, Second New •Nainiehlre
and Tviecty - sixth Pennsylvania regiments, then
located at Bladensburg, aud'which, in their sub
sequent career, have, under their noble leader,
so fairly earned the name of "Hooker's Fight
ing Brigade."
Gen. Hooker was strongly solicited while in
Oregon to allow hi name to be used in connec
tion with the United States Senate. He, how
ever, not only declined the suggestion, but join
ing hands with Senator Nt smith, canvassed the
whole State with him, and was thus confessedly
a main instrument in placing in that body the
lamented Baker, who was his bosom friend.
In person, Gen. Hooker is very tall, erect,
compactly but not heavily built, extremely
muscular, and of great physical endurance; of
a light complexion, a fresh, ruddy countenance,
full, clear, mild eyes, intellectual head, brown
hair, slightly tinged with gray—and altogether
one of the most elegant and commanding offi
cers in his bearing and app , arance in the army.
In social Intercpurse he is frank, unpretend
ing and courteous, removing embarrassment
from even the humblest personage who ap
proaches him. It D only when at the head of
his command and in the storm of battle that he
arrays himself in the stern and lofty aspect of
the commanding, heroic chieftain. His tran
scendent career in this rebellion is familiar to
all. He has, in the most emphatic as well as
triumphant manner, literally fought his way to
his present elevation. The wonder is that he
was not placed in a different position at the
opening of this rebellion.
He is now in the family of his old and inti
mate friend, Dr. Nichols, Superintendent of the
Government Asylum for the Insane, in this
district, and is recovering from the fit sh wound
which, so unfortunately to the country, he re
ceived in the last great battle of Antietam.
The appointment which he has received, of
Brigadier General in the regular service, is only
what everybody expected on the fall of the
- brave and noble gray haired old hero whose
vacant place is thus filled. Gen. McClellan, in
a letter from the battle-field, dated September
20, 1862, to General Hooker, in lamenting the
casualty which carried him from his command
in its triumphant hour, says : "Had you not
been wounded when you were, I believe the
result would have been the entire destruction
of the rebel army"—a just and noble tribute
from a generous and brave superior officer. It
may be added that Gen. Hooker is open in his
expression of amazement that the rebel army
failed to be captured or destroyed, a result which
he did not deem possible to fail, when he was
borne from the field.
Gen. Hooker is chafing to be again in the
field. He will soon be in his saddle, and the
country will be greatly disappointed if he is not
then promptly raised to a great command.—N.

The steamer Saxon from New Orleans on the
4th, via Havana on the 18th inst., arrived at
this port at 11 o'clock this morning.
New Orleans continued to be in a healthy con
dition.
Vera Cruz dates of the first mention the arri
val of General Forey, with troops, from France,
and his assumption of the command of the
French forces at that point.
The rebel steamer Blanche was chased ashore
some six miles from Moro Castle, her crew leav
ing after setting her on fire. She was totally
destroyed with a cargo of cotton.
It was rumored in Havana that the rebel
stearder•"2s9o," and thhteen other rebel war
vessels were in the harbor of Mobile. Some
anxiety is felt on board of the Saxon for the
safety of the steamer Matanzas, which sailed
from New Orleans some days prior to the Sax
on, in company with a Spanish 'steamer. The
latter returned in a disabled condition, but
nothing had been heard of the Matanzas. She
had a number of passengers, and a large amount
of specie for New York.
