THE RETURNED VOLUWTEEUS. atlp Post• We regret most deeply the peculiar position of Pennsylvania on this war.— The heartik.Ot ptlT.,..peopk!, were aroused at its commencement, and our brave and patriotic young men turned out in legions for the defence of their country. No State in the Union appropriates money more liberally for the equipment of troops or furnished better, braver nor more willing men to encounter the enemy. Cities, counties, towns and in dividuals contributed with the utmost liberality to take care of the families of the volunteers - *bile they were gone.— All was right in disposition both on the part of the'citizens of the State and her soldiers. But a continual combination of adverse circumstances has attended the entire career of the Pennsylvania troops which has prevented them from obtaining that conspicuous and honora ble position in the grand army of the republic, to which the position and lib erality of the State, undoubtedly gave her soldiers a just claim. More un fortunate than all is the fact that the term of the three months' volunteers has expired just at the time when a tre mendous disaster has overtaken our arms, and just when their services are most needed by the government. These facts could not be prevented, and they have furnished the text for most unjust and malignant remarks regarding our troops. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY. MONDAY MOB toNo4:=::::aDyie 29.

HON. H. S. MAGRAW. A gentleman just from Washington 'City informs us that the party of which Mr. Magraw was one, who went to re ., ` ix c over the body of Col. Cameron, did not take 'a flag of truce with them, but relied upon their personal acquaintance with `Gen. Lee and Gen. Beaureguard for their safety. This makes their present position one of extreme doubt and un certainty, not to say danger, for it is by ,no means impossible that they may be .tipati3d'as spies according to the laws of war. The party volunteered their ser . view to Gen. Cameron to go for the 1304y_ of )►is brother and went with his • consent.

But it is within the power of the volunteers to demonstrate that these unfortunate circumstances are not due to any lack of bravery or pa triotism on their part. The honor of the State is in their hands. If these regi ments have refused to remain on ac count of the incompetency of their of ficers, they can be reorganized, and bet ter men selected to take command. I t is of the utmost imnortance that the valuable experience acquired during three months' service should not be lost to the country in the hour of her sorest need. From what wo can learn many of these trained soldiers are willing and anxious to re-enter the service after they have visited their homes. Probably three-fourths of them will do this, and rush forward and reclaim the honor of their State. The returned soldiers com plain very bitterly of the conduct of some of their officers. Many of these complaints we do not hesitate to say have no military cause. They are mere ebulitions of personal feeling. There may have been and doubtless were many instances of incapacity on the part of officers. What else could soldiers expect when an army was extemporized in a few weeks, whose officers they se lected themselves, not so much with an eye to their military qualifications as their personal popularity. Bravery, patriotism and perseverance are characteristics of American soldiers. Their country still needs the services of these trained men. In the hour of na tional calamity all men should be pa trio's. Let the military honor of Penn sylvania be redeemed. New regiments will be formed at once, and in the se lection of officers let men who are com petent to command be placed in charge of them. Such men will soon be in our midst recruiting for their regiments.— This will give the soldier an opportunity of selecting under whom he will serve. Let the past be forgo ten. Complaints do not become brave soldiers. Lot them show their State and their coun try what they can do under different and more favorable auspices. In conclusion we may say that the law relating to three months' volunteers is more the cause of the difficulties which our troops have experienced than anything else. We agree with the Harris burg Patriot, which says that this law is "confessedly a great blunder." It has been practically tested, at an expense of several millions of dollars to the General Government and a like sum to the sev eral States, and has been found to be totally wanting in the elements of efficiency. The sooner it is repealed or modified so as to enable the President to call out volunteers to serve until a rebellion is totally crushed, or an inva sion completely repulsed, the less likely the Government will be to lose by the operation. The calling out of new and undisci plined militia for three months is simply ridiculous, viewed in the light that men can scarcely become efficient soldiers or inured to camp life in that time. But there are other objections. The near approach of the expiration of the time of three months' men retards the opera, tionsof the army. There is no question but what this had the effect of checking the movements of Gen. Patterson. It is said that, fully aware of the approaching crisis, he implored the men of the differ ent regiments to remain only ten days longer, but was unsuccessful. This is easily accounted for. Some were tired of the service, others homesick, and not a few dissatisfied with their officers. The three-months' law might be effec tual in some few cases, where three months' men might be of some service to the Government, but experience teaches us that in a majority of cases its provisions carried out only retard the operations of the army, at an enormous expense to the Government. It calls for modification, thorough and decided, Got. J. K. Atomism) and J. M. Kirk patrick, Esq., of this city, were- at Fort ress Monroe on Sunday the 21st, when the battle was fought.

A New Way of Flghting—Hisalsolp plans versus New York Fire Zquaves ...Bowie Knife Fighting—Thrilling Incidents. - A letterin the Be[Omani Sun, dated Washington Julg 26, gives the following terrific account of the way Mississippians fought with their bowio knives at Ma- One of the New York Fire Zouaves, who was wounded at the battle of - Manassas on Sunday last, istalwart, hardy Dillow of considerable intelligence, passed through this city yesterday, en route homeward, remaining here several hours waiting for the cars. He, of course, has the privilege, like all others, of telling his own tale, without apprehending, for the present at least, successful contradiction. From him I obtained a thrilling narrative of a rencon ter between his regiment and a regiment of Mississippians: After the battle had been raging for some hours, according to the account of this Zouavian hero, he saw an immense body of Mississippians, accompanied by soma (believed to be) Baltimoreans, rush furiously over the Confederate ramparts. They at once saw the conspicuous uniform of the Zouaves, and made at them. The Mississippians, after approaching near enough, sent a terrible volley from their rifles into the Zouave ranks. This done, they threw their guns aside and charged onward until each contending enemy met face to face and hand to hand, in terrible combat. The Mississippians, having dis carded their rifles after the first fire, fell back upon their bowie knives. These were of huge dimensions, eighteen to twenty inches long, heavy proportion and sharp, or two edged at the point. Attached to the handle was a lasso, some eight to ten feet in length, with one end securely wound round the wrist. My informant says when these terrific warriors approached to within reach of their lasso, not waiting to come in bayonet range, they threw forward their bowie knives at the Zouaves after the fashion of experienced harpooners striking at a whale. Frequently they plunged in, and penetrat• ed through a soldier's body, and were jerked out, ready to strike again whilst the first victim sunk into death. Oa several occasions the terrible bowie knife was transfixed in a ZDUEIVO, and the Zouave's bayonet in a Mississippian, both impaled and falling together. 8o skilfully was this deadly instrument handled by the Missis sippian that he could project it to the full lasso length, kill his victim, withdraw it again with a sudden impulse, and catch the handle unerringly. If by any mischance the bowie knife missed its aim, broke the cord fastening it to the arm, or fell to the earth, revolvers were next resorted to and used with similar dexterity. The hand to hand closing in with both pistol and bowie knife, cuttirg, slashing, carving, and shooting almost In the same moment, was awful beyond de scription. Blood gushed from hundreds of wounds until, amid death, pitiful groans and apalling sights, it staunched the very earth. My nuave champion says, him self and comrades did hard fighting, stood up manfully to the murderous conflict, but never before knew what undaunted bravery and courage meant. Ile felt no further ambition to engage in such rencounters.— Having boon shot through the wrist by a revolver, after escaping the fearful Missis sippi weapons and disabled from further active participation in the struggle, he willingly retired to reap the glory won, convinced that to fight against Mississip plans with bowie knives and pistols, after receiving a volley of their sharp-cracking rifles, is no ordinary fun. A SERIOUS BLUNDER. We find the following in the Wash .ngton Star of Friday. We think the Star is unnecessarily alarmed. If all the gentlemen in the captured party are as brave, true-hearted and loyal as Henry S. McGraw there is no danger that their presence in the rebel camp will be of any advantage to the rebellion. It is said over the city to-day that Messrs. H. S. McGraw, Arnold Harris and Wm. Henry Burch, who on Tuesday or Monday last started for the enemy's linos to endeav or to recover the body of the late Col. Cameron, are hold as prisoners at Fairfax Court House, where Gen. Johnson com mands in person. The fact that they were permitted to leave our lines to proceed in to those of the en3my, alter Gen. Johnson had formally refused to permit Major Wadsworth, bearing a flag of truce to look after our wounded and dead of Sunday's engagement, to enter his lines, naturally gives rise to grave and serious comments. Ot all persons in the world, individuals whom the enemy is willing to permit with in his lines at a time like the present, are those who should not have been permitted to leave ours. The situation of our de. fences hero on Tuesday last was most crit ical, though subsequently they have cer tainly been rendered entirely secure against any possible atsack by Johnson. Until a condition of discipline exists here that rigidly forbids the passage into the enemy's camp, of civilians from whom they might by any possible chance obtain information to the cause for which the country is in arms, we may never hope for real improvement in the conduct of the war on our side. These three gentlemen certainly knew as much of the state of our affairs here, which, if known to the ene my, might damage our cause seriously, as any other three persons in Washington not employod in the War Department or actually engaged on staff duty. One great element of the strength of the enemy is the fact that they will permit no man, friend or foe, to pass into our lines, who knows anything whatever of the con dition of their army. We certainly are not yet learning wisdom from them Approximate Estimate of Our Loss. Although no official returns have yet been sent into the War Department of the loss in killed and wounded, guns, provision wagons and small arms, in the retreat from Bull Run' on Sunday, it is believed that the following is an approx imate statement: Hilted 380 Wounded, including about one hundred struck, but not much injured .. 600 Wagons loaded with provisions ' loss 25 Gannon spiked and lett on the held and aban doned in the stampede and not since recov ered Small arms dropped, about half of which num ber were picked up by ordnance wagons on Monday, 7,500 or .2,000 We find the above in all the New York papers. The National Anthem. Fifteen out of 1,200 compositions for the $5OO prize for a national anthem have been retained from which to make a final selection. It has been proposed that the music and words of these fifteen be submitted to public criticism for three nights at the Academy of Music in New York, and three in the Academy in Brooklyn—the sum realized to be applied to the aid of the families of volunteers. NOTHING of marked interest reaches us from Washington. The reorganiza tion and rehabilitation of the army goes on. To replace the three-months' regi ments who leave the capital, many more are arriving, 10,000 troops having reach ed there within the last two days. THE hat which Col. Cameron wore in the battle was brought from the field by a soldier and is now in the posses sion of his brother, the Secretary of War. LETTER FROM WASHINGTON. TIOSPITAL DEPART M ENT, WASHINGTON ()IT; • July 27, 1861. DEAR POST : —You see we have changed our post since my last. We left Staten Island via steamer to Elizabethport where we took the cars for Harrisburg direct. Our journey was the scene of ton tinned ovations, and it seemed as though the populace turned oaken masse, to -bless us on our departure; many were the "God siieed you" and "a happy return" etc., that met our oars—in fact we were the lions of the day. At Cockeysville our "Pittsburgh" boys gave us a hearty recep tion—and I tell you it was a caution;—the shaking of hands. At Balt:more we had a dismal, but peaceful march through the city, once in a while we were the recipients of not the best wishes. Supperless and din nerless, we wended our way to the seat of war, and on Wednesday morning we ar. rived here at 7l o'clock. After a great deal of military ":ed tape" we were marched out to camp (about 2,1 miles east of the city); for the present we occupy the tents formerly used by the New York 26th regiment, they having gone on a scouting excursion. There seems to be no doubt that we will see fun soon, as there seems Lo ben desire to regain our "lest reputa tion" at Bull's Run, \ and our 2nd and 3rd regiment has arrived, so we aro now, nip, merous enough to march. Today I was in conversation with several of the Fire Zouaves and G9th regiments, and from what I can learn, there seems to be no fault, only with the officers commanding. It was undoubtedly the bloodiest battle (for the length of time) that was ever fought in this country. Yesterday the 69th left for home minus some 300 or 850 men, their wounded wore burned up in the hospital by the rebels. It is # frequent sight to see the maimed and wounded pass ing through the streets in their company's wagons going to the hospital. All hands are unanimous in the opinion that the en. envy's loss was tar superior in numbers to ours,and had our men boon enabled to follow them up would have surrendered. While in the Capitol today I met several Pittaburghers, among them was ltov. W. A. Passavant, who is on here attending to the distribution of the hospital nurses for the army. God bless him, he is the right man in the right place, for we seriously need them, and he is tilling our wants as far as he is capable. Our days are " tre mendously " hot, and our nights about as cool, with a heavy dew, and we were taken by surprise when we slept without our blankets. Our company, however, is in a healthy state, excepting a few cases of char rhces, caused by change of water, &o.— Venders of edibles are at a discount in camp. We were notified about poison, and we are careful about "aesesh." One or two springs were somewhat infected be fore our arrival, and pies and things are not to be looked at, although they are our hearts desire. Congress is in session to• day but nothing of importance transpired, but protracted debates of no importance to the public. Abe rode up the avenue to day and this was all of importance that 1 witnessed in my walk through the city But business calls me out to camp. Ho w • ever, you shall hear from me at the field of battle, or more probably from our present position soon, But believe me you never seen a more eager set of boys for the tight than the "Friend Rifles," and we will let you hear from us all soon. Yours, &c., Ten More Regiments. The Harrisburg Patriot and Union says that it is currently reported in military circles there that Goy. Curtin had been called upon to furnish ten additional regiments in addition to those of Cols. Black and Geary, already accepted,— These, with the fifteen reserves, the artillery and the cavalry regiments., will enable Pennsylvania to have upwards of thirty thousand men in the field again in a‘very short time. It is to be hoped for the honor of the State that they will be more fortunate in getting into active service than the three months' volun teers were. Proclamation of Covertkor Morgan 25,000 MORE VOLUNTEERS CALLED FOR. The Governor of New York on Thurs day issued the following proclamation ; "The President of the United States having requested me to furnish additional troops for We prompt suppression of resistance to the consign Lion and the laws, I do hereby call for a volunteer force of 25,000 men to serve for three years or during the war. Such force will be raised pursuant to a general order, which will be issued imme diately, and which will prescribe the mode of organization. To the end that every portion of the State May have an opportunity to contribute thereto, the rendezvous will be at New York, Albany and Elmira, the headquarters at Albany. "In witness whereof 1 have hereunto set my band and affixed the privy seal of the State, at the city of Albany, this twenty-filth day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one.

IfoaAcE GREELEY'S disclaimer, which we published on Saturday, amounts to this: Ile denies the authorship of the war cry, " On to Richmond !" and de clares that not one of the paragraphs in opposition to the Administration was either written or in any wise suggested or prompted by him. At the same time, however, he does not seek to be relieved from any responsibility for urging the advance of the Union army into Virgi nia. This excuse will strike every one as an extremely lame one. It amounts to a confession that he prompted others to write what he did not care to write himself. I.l' is reported in Washington that Col.
