ConditionofthePennsylvania Troops
in the West. /..
The following is the official report of the
late Commission to the West, to look after
wounded Pennsylvanians in Balleck's army:
Pirrsauaon, Pa., June 11,1862..
Ste :—I would resfectfully report for the,
information of the Governor and COmmander-•
in-Chief, that as soon as, I received your tele
graphic commission' of the 15th ult., to pro
ceed the "battle fields of_ the southwest,
with two skillful surgeons, and their assis
tants, to look after wounded Pennsylvanians,"
I iuttnediately. made known the wishes of the
Governor to Surgeons it. B. SiMpson and A.
M. Pollock of this city, who at once, with
commendable patriotism and promptness, ten
dered theiagratitious services, with their two
assistant. ,sargeons, Octerlooney and Snod
grass, for the mission. We immediately pro
ceeded by .railroad and steamboat to 'Pitts
burgh Landing, on the Tennessee river. We
were somewhat fortunate in thecourse of our
trip, to be joined by that good' and tine pa
triot, General Itoseerans, en route to join his
'division in the Southwest. Bo being very
during most of Our trips our .physicians
gladly gave him livery medical aid, so
that he was able for active datj . by the
time he reached hie headquarters. 'To
this gentleman•we are under many obliga
tions, for the - assistance he rendered in ob
taining transportation, and many comforts wo
could not. perhaps'have otherwise procured.
In this connection we desire to mention,
and return our thanks . to Dr: Charles M'Don
' gall, Medical Director of the armies of Ten
nessee, and Capt. Lyman, Assistant Quarter
s master, both at Pittsburgh Landing, for their
many eivilitiettand assistance. We proceeded
without delay from the Landing into tho in:
Whir, to the headquarters of Gen. ' s lialleck,
1 which place we healed after sundown.' This
true patriot gave us a hearty welcome, as the
commissioned' agents. of /the Governor of
Pennsylvania. IVe enjoyed the proffered' hos
pltalities of hit tent until the next morning,
when we proceeded, Under the escort of an
orderly, to the camp of the 77th Pennsylia
nia regiment, Col. Stambaugh, ytho, as -well
as officers and privates, received us with glad
and cheerful tumuli. They truly appreciated
the kind and, considerate motives of the Gov
-ornor in thus eending them additional sur
geons, and consequently providing against
centingencies. We also reported ourselves
to General /A. McDowell McCook . , Divis
ion Commander, of whose division the 77th
Pennsylvania forms a part. • Ile received .
us like a true soldier, and made us feel
at home. We remained in camp until
our brigade was ordered forward, on Tues
day, the 27th ult., to the intionchments,
in command of Colonel Stambaugh, acting
Brigadier General. The sick only remaining
in camp in charge of one of our Surgeons,
one of our s assistant surgeons being detailed
to Muller, battery. I desire here to say,
when the (o rders for "forward march" were
given, ne ly every men of the 77th Pennsyl
vania responded to the call, many of them
being on the sick list the_ day previous. We
proceeded to our intrenotoents and bivouack
ed for several nights. The 77th done valua
ble service in taking and securing new posi
tions. Ono night, having thrown op from
six to eight hundred yards of breastworks.
Whin the orders' were given, "forward to
Corinth," .I. was informed that the 77th were
about the Cray within the intrenchments of
the rebels, who had ; made, as the telegraph .
duly informed you, an evacuation of a 'very
strong, and if, in a good cause, a very tenable
position. Wo returnedeo our old camp, Sat
urday, the .3 tat ult., where the paymaster had
arrived and made his disbarsements. Both
officers and men embraced the opportunity of
remitting funds by us to their friends through
out the Commonwealth. We considered our
.mission at an end, and after receiving the
thanks if Col.. Stambaugh, his officers and
men, proceeded homeward, where we arrived
lid Satnrdajr. night. We visited Capt. Pal

Before closing, we desire to mention Surgeon
F.:lrieh..He was uniformly courteous—to his
incessant:labors and constant care of his regi

cellent sanitary condition, there being about
six hundred effective men. He returned with
us on a short furlough, to :recruit his health.

view of the oil market for the fist .wask :
"Shippers have been very busy this week,

those at nominal prices.. A better feeling
'exists. in the Pittsburgh markets, and we hope
,that the feeling is general . A large amount
Of oil has gone forward, a,portion of which is
to fill previous contracts, and a good propor
tion to be tanked in Pittsburgh. The oil is
'put. in tanks at that place, holding-from 10,-
000-to
,12,000 barrels. The. tanks are water
lined, and so arranged that oil can be kept in
them for any length cf time, without leakage
or evaporation. We beard one of our most ex
perienced boatmen say the other day that in
ease the blockade was raised, we would con
tract to deliver oil in New Orleans at $I per
barrel. This is a cheap rate of freight. Oil
cab bo shipped in boats direct from our wells
to New Orleans, and can from there be shipped
to European markets. • Considerable mining
is going on, Our oil men are beginning to

The weather is getting hot-here, and one
can imagine that the army before Richmond
must be in the melting mood. Things in
general proceed here quite smoothly just now.
CONGELSS
Has no very exciting topic on hand. I do
not. think it will adjourn this summer. it
will probably take a recess for a while. It
should not. adjourn.: so long as the traitors in
both Uouse and Senato are so eager to have it
do so:
MO=
This highly respectable locofoco, thie leader
of the Deteeracy, was introduced to the
t ic
House, as you It e seen by Mr. Bingbam's
resolution, in .hi true character. I am in
formed that cer in evidence which induced
this resolution, t o purport of which evidence
I am not advised of, ho4ravor, is now in pos
session of the State Department. Be is
doubtless no woise„than his friends and apol
ogists all over the Country, except that he ex
hibits his sympathies on a somewhat more
elevated stage. Petitions are pouring in from
Ohio, asking the expulsion of the festive Val
landigham, whom they characterize as a pub
lic nuisance and a standing disgrace to the
State and the country.
nu. cowan's SPEECH.
This effort of the' Senator from Pennsyl
vania' has been the subject of eonsidorable
severe criticism hero. Several passages in it
were stricken from the speech by Mr. Cowin
before it was published in the Globe. - One re
mark was expressive of his surprise that Sau
nters should tremble there before "brawling
constituencies." Several Senators, who felt
themselves lectured in the oration, will, it is
sold, take early occasion ,to respond. Mr.
Cowan seems to me to have brought to the
Senate the manners of the advocate, and the
Ideas, : solely, of a close hair-splitting lawyer.
Let us forget, if we can, that ho has discarded
his friends and taken grounds against those
whose ideas be was sent to support. Ile treats
the questions, the mighty questions which the
Senate is called to grapple with, as if they
wore actions for damages of John Doe and
Richard Roe. Ido not believe that questions
affecting the highest interest of the common
wealth are to be decided by verbal cavils or
quotations from the old black letter law Latin,
on which the dust of centuries has quietly
settled. Lord Macauley, in Speaking of the
contest in the British Convention, which met
immediately after the flight of James 11., to
dealaro the throne vacant, and was there call
ed to decide this grave question "whether the
Convention thus assembled could be turned into
a Parliament?" gives a sketch of the debate
in which the learned quibblers and casuists
reasoned in their little circles and arrived
nowhere. "But,' says the bistoriau, "May
nard, orio.of .the most learned of English ju
rists, scornfully thrust aside as frivolous and
out of place all that black-letter learning,
which some men, far less versed in such mat
ters than himself, had introduced into the dis
cussion. 'We are,' be said, 'at this moment
out of the beaten path. If, therefore, we aro
deteruiined to move only in that path, we can
not move at all. A man In a revolution, re
solvieg to do nothing which is not strictly
according to established form, resembles a
man who has lost himself in the wilderness,
and who stands crying, Where is the king's
highway ? I will walk nowhere but on the

well. Many are beginning to hobble about

THOM RICHMOND
Your correspondent front the army yonder
is here for a short time, en route for home. Ho
speaks in the highest terms of the spirit of the
army of the Potomac, and thinks it simply a
question of time—the taking of this heart of
the conspiracy. The . wounded had nearly all
been taken away when he left, and the army
was not at all decreasing -in numbers while it
lies beside the Chicksthominy. The 62d regi ,
went seems to haver won distinguished boner
in the very successful skirmikt of Hanover
Court house, which was in fact nearly as im
portant a battle in some respeets as Bull Run.
But what terrified and excited the whole peo
ple a year ago scarcely attracts.attention now.
I think the prospect now is that the „5, 506,
voted loosely for some old books hero, a wile
ago, to bo pot in the back rooms and elsewhere
in the capitol, will not come to the paying.
Nobody wants the - books . , and oven if any ono
did, there are some 125 setts of them now in
the possession of the government. lam sure
the people should rejoice that the prospect is
good fousaving the "little" cam named above:

- These creatures are still here on the look:
out for their victims. Judge Dean, of Brook
lyni-who- is defending' the "chattels" in the
Courts here, finds it up hill work. .The bench
is of the order of black letter quibblers of the
Taney school'. Mr. 'Dean Is not a clear

as to his having made his point:: But ho is

It is a constuumation devoutly to be wished,
that Congress, which now has tho whole sub
ject under consideration, may proem' at once
to scarify, omastiiiate, or totally destroy and
forever expunge and eradicate traitor Mason's
fugitive slave law. This would be something
to be proud of. I trust the law may ho

Judge Dean may return home in peace.

An in:Moons° excitement was caused here to
day by the action of Gov. Wadsworth, who
has taken three secession churcbei fur hos
pitals. Thoso aro Epiphany, Ascension and
Trinity. It is not alone In Allegheny City
that you find a priest. unwilling to l pray for
the government which Las ever protected
him under God as a father his children. These.
churchce have made themselves specially ac ,

upon the government. Ido not know that it
is for this reason they have been taken for the

should not those who have aided in rendering
so many - army hospitals necessary be the first
to supply a place for their victims ? AU those

ILITIITH CONGEBS-PII,IBT BESSIOII.
WASHINGTJI2I2O 16, 1362.
lloesc—Mr. Dawes, of Mass., from the
Committee on Eleetionsituado an adverse re
port on the petition of .Charles Henry Foster,
asking for 3.11111i381011 to a seat in the Rouse as
representative from the 2d District of North
Carolina.
Mr. McPherson, of Pa , introduced the fol
lowing:
Rewired, Ry the Senate and House of Re •
presontatives, etc., that the grade of Lieut.
General be and the same is hereby created in,
the army of the United States, to be filled
upon the cessation. of the present hostilities,
by nomination by the President and confirms
tioo by the Senate, of the Brigadier or Major
General who, by the most valuable services in
the field, has established his. rightful claim
'thereto.
Rewired, That the grade hereby created
shall continue only during - the life or service
of the person first appointed under this joint
resolution. '
On motion of hir,Shallaberger, of Ohio, a
resolution was adopted instructing the Com
mittee on the Conduct of the War to inquire
and report whether our soldieravrounded at
Port Republic have been subject to any unne
cessary neglect from our surgeons, etc.
Mr. Wilson, of Intl., caused to , be read an
extract.from a letter published in the N. Y.
Tribune, dated Port Royal, stating that the
rebel prisoners are treated hotter than our own
soldiers, and detailing Instances of cruel neg
lect, eta. He offered a resolution instructing
the same Committee to inquire into the facts
and report them to the House, and also far
nish the name of the General commanding
- there. Adopted.
Mr. Potter of Wis., o ff ered a resolution
requesting th e Secretary of War to inform the
Ileum by whose orders the house of an arch
traitor at White House is guarded and pro
tected by United States soldiers and withhold
from hospital purposes.
Mr. peons -of' Indiana, wished to make a
statement in regard to this matter, in order to
disabuse the public mind of an erroneous im
pression. He. happened to be with General
McClellan when he took possession of the
White hones. This White Rouse is spoken
of in the newspapers as though it was a large
house, somewhat of the proportions of the
President's mansion. It is a small, house
compared with -the White House in this city.
It contains only lax rooms, and they are of
moderate size- It is in a beautiful locust
grove, on the bank of the Pamunkey river,
and is the place where Washington first met
his wife, and where he courted and married
her. The property is now owned, he believ
ed, by a grandson of Mrs. Washington—the
nod of Gen. Lee. Out of a delicate regard for
the memory of Washington, which he (Mr.
Dunn) was • sure the country would approve,
Gen. McClellan had placed a guard around
the house," to protein it and the yard from
injury.
[The Reporter failed to furnish the part
that is bore omitted.]
Mr. Dann replied—Re did not. It, was a
very inviting , place fur the General's headquar
ters, but he would not use it, and had his tents
pitched out in the plowed field Rodin the hot
sun. ile did not oppose the resolution, bat
thought it proper to snake this statement.
Mr. Potter said there was an excellent
spring on the premises, which was refused to
our soldiers, who had to drink the water of
the Patuunky river. The proceedings in this
matter were a lucre continuation of a concili
atory policy towards unthankful rebels.
Mr. Dann repeated that the house was pro
tected-out of respect for the memory of Wesh
ington, and from a tender regard for Lee, and
expressed hiaturprise that the gentleman from
Wisconsin (Mr. Potter) should have inane:
ated that this protection wan placed upon the
lattergyeand. The country would appreciate
the motive of our Commanding General.
„Idr.Sedgwick, of S. Y., said ho had visited
the place. The house was built within ten
or fifteen and a great many years since Wash
ington was gathered to his fathers. The land
in high and admirably adapted for hospital
purposes. There are several out buildings in
good condition, and he had been informed by
several persons connected with the service
that the houses were capable of accommodat
ing from ono hundred and fifty to two hundred
men. He believed that if Washington were
alive he would not be influenced by any such
sentimentality as that they should net. be
rued for the sick and-wounded soldiers of the
for the establishment of which Wash
iegtota had, suffered and . centributed_so touch.
On the Seiretary of War telegraphingthattlia
beaten ehOuld be-used fur hospitals some one
of Geis. MeClellan's army, he her:wilt -was
not McClellan himself, replied that those who
urged the request were enemies of the war and
the country:
Mr. Dawes, of Mass., testified to the-facts
stated-by Mr. Sedgwick. Ile was therphim
self, together with a colleague, and was pre
vented from passing over the grounds in
order . to reach the steambeat. He was eon
fronted by a bayonet and informed that' there
were positiveorderli to prevent anybody from
trespassing on the 'preinitea He was also
told that a Captain was, the day before, put
under arrest for allowing persons to cross the
ground's. •
The resolution was passed. -
Mr. Yoorhees_offered as a preamble a state
ment from the New Albany Ledger, in which
it is said that, during his recent retreat,- lien.
Banks furnished the Government with trans
portation for flagmen, thus taring for theinto
ihreexclution and neglect of the wounded
.soldiers, who had to walk.' Appended to this
"was a resolution instructing the Committee on.
the Conduct of the War to inquire into and
report on thefaers.
Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, said ho
heard the same charge made, by sotiliers.
The resolution was adopted.
Atter an unsuccessful metiou to lay on the
table the preamble, the consideration of which
went over, the Rouse proceeded to the con
sideration of the special order, namely—busl
nese relating to the Navy. .The bill to es
tablish and equalise the grade of line officers
was amended and pasted—Admirals to rank
with Maj. Generals, and Commodores 'with
Brigadier Generals, etc. Students at tho Naval
Aeademy are to be styled Midshipmen,. and
when commis/Outdate to be called Ensigns..
No Midshipman, qt other officer, ditmilused,
alien ever again become an officer of the Nary.
The Reuse passed, with amendments, the
Senate hill reorganising the Navy' Depart
ment. Among other changes, it provides a
Bureau of Steam Engineering, and a Bureau
of - Equipments and 'Recruiting.
_ During the explanations made, Mr. Sedg,
wick said that the cases, relating to the prison
taken alear ago, still linger in the Courts,
and not a dollar hat come into
,the TreatOry,
arid in the meanwhile the sailors interested
area - prey to the money-changers, who - are
baying their claims. Mr. Sedgwick asked,
and the house set aside next Saturday, to
consliter a bill to secure the early distribution
of the prize money. -

The Vice :President called the. attention of

BATTI46-FIELD IN FRONT Or RICHMOND, i -
Jane Gthi' 4,882.
I again sit down to address you, but wit),
confine myself entirely to the events of the
battle on last Saturday, in front of Richmond.
The last week has bien a SQVCIM and disastrous
ono for this Division. During thattime, we
have felled any amount of &cos, dug rifle pits,
thrown up redoubts, picketed, lain whole days
and nights in rifle pits, and, above all, fought
a severe battle, on Saturday last, against four
or five times our number, in which we did
nearly all the hard fighting, and I am afraid,
according to some of the reports, getting but
little credit. On the day of the battle, as well
IS for several days before, our Division was in
theadvatice; the enemy's main encampment
was about one mile and a half ahead of na;
our picket line and theirs about half-way bi
tween, and in some places not more than ten •.
or fifteen rods apart. The day before, just at_
daylight, they attempted to force our picket -
line back, but failed. Co. It of our Regiment
(103 d) was on picket that morning, and had'f
one man killed—Newton -Jriteph, of Butler •
county. The next day. Co.-C, with a. few
Co. I), formed the detail 'from ,our regiment'
for picket; and it is due to these men to ley
'that, Under Capt. Townsend and Lieuhs.Ji'lltn-:
atm& and Cochran, they stood .their.groundr:
on the line Icing after Most of the other pickets
nad been forced back.' - obstinately
they hold their petition that they' fired - into' -
the very faces the enemy, and several were
taken prisoners or killed at thefirst ..
The 103 d, under Major •• Oasum 7 .the only
.field officer present, wan ordered to the" tap._
port of the pickets„and to check the advance
of the enemy In the woodstill the remainder •
of the brigade could he formed In' the open
field in whieb we mere encamped, and all that
-'
could be done, - by any 'body of men 'of the-
same number, was done by this regiment and
its gallant leader; Major °arum, • Who,
throughout the wholoof the bloody afternoon '.;"
proved himself' one of the bravest of
brave, rallying his mon at every epportunity,
till they reached the edge of , (he weeds nest"-
to our encampment. Here it was found that
a. battery: had get. into position to give the
grarbgeki grape,and canuder, as scones they
emerged from the wends. jt was supported
by the oGth New York and 85th Pennsylvania-7,,
voluntcori. The 103 d had, therefortyperform,; . .,,
od all and mere'-than' was reguiredof it, and
was oideied to the rear of the battery. 4a
soon as this was done the battery and the re-',
giments supporting it opened fire on the ene
my, who were now swarming in clouds out of
the woods into the open plain.. At every dia..
charge be our artillery wide gape were torn
through their ranks, but they , were instantly
filled up by reserves who weTrxi — foreed:by„a
third lino at the. point'of thebayonet. - In
fact throwing such a division u ours, enfee-
bled as it was by *disease, until it scarcely
nuMberil: 5,000 men, . against each "'AA=
withthe intention of holding them any
length of time, was nonsense. But still most.
of the regiments were seen by youreorrespon.. , .
dent, only retired When they were almond" ,
nihilated..
Thel.o3l went into notion with about 400
men, besides the pickets detail of - about-40,
and of thee* fully ono fourth are' killed,
wounded of missing, which was much less
than the loss of most of the other Ilegimentsi
- owing to the fact that if fought under cover 7.
otthe woods.. But still most of the survivor/...
were rallied by their ofkcers, and fought in the'.
rifle-pits'. and . liegimeats which bad
into line, , and were among the last - to.lewre',
the - ground. Abont the middle of ,the
- neon, Gen. Couch, 'Who Mast have been taking-
an afternoon - nap; began' to come to our relief, .
when we were ordered to re-form on the third
line, which was held by Gen. Kearney. llers..
'the tlag of the 103 d was raised as high as its .
shattered staff would permit, and the wearied
and thinned rinks were tormed for a renewal:
of
of the conflict if unfortunately the enemy bad;?
succeeded in' gettin . dso far.
In conclusion I would say that, so far as
my, observation extended, both :OMNI". and :-
Men did their 'Whole duty. Many had been .....;.
nick and off duty for, some time, hot when the :"
tocsin was sounded, all who were at all able" ;:
to get doWn to the front did sc.. , .-' • - - -_.
All the officers thattsaw behared -nobly. '" :
All regret. the death Of . Capt. Gillespie. A
braver heart was never pierced than hbt. Ws .
found his,body,on Monday,,(which had beau
stripped of every thing valeable,) and buried •
him in the camp wo had been driven from bat ..=
which wedrose the enemy from at last.,
Our number' which is known to be killed-is'',
