This •its alike honorable to General

resources is certainly greater than they

McClellan has hi zself been treated to

When the foisident*sued his proc
*nation for ibitillteers 'to defend the
' ., Capital from, rebel invasion, young Sahl
,
'was stmong the first to volunteer. After
. -
:rving three months, he came home,
and in seven days raised a Company of
cavalry, and again entered the service
joining Col. Lehman's division. He and
his company were regarded by the com
manding officer with particular favor.
They were usually, selected for danger
ous scouting expeditions. Near Spring
field, Va., he was on one of these den
gerous excursions, when he was fired
upon by rebels who lay in ambush ; he
received two dangerous wounds, which
caused his death.
Among the numerous daring and in
trepid spirits who have already given up
their lives in defense of the Union, there
was none of a more heroic and valorous
spirit than Capt. Said To his indomit
able and adventurous spirit may be ati
tributed his early fall. He was not con
tent to follow where numbers and ex.-
ample lead, but full of adventure and
intrepidity he confronted dangers which
cool calculation admonished others to
avoid. A daring, dashing horseman, and
a man of herculean strength, he was
capable of undergoing what appeared to
others extraordinary fatigue. Added
to this, an enthusiasm for the service
and the cause for which he gave his life,
Capt. Sahl was indeed a soldier of whom
his country might we'd be proud. But,
as "valor must yield to odds," 60 he
gave way to an enemy in ambush. No
braver soldier ever spurred courser at
the trumpet sound.
RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE
We have long known the writer of tl.e
following communication as an active and
energetic member of one of the Presbyte•
rintt denominations, and would give the
full weight of any influence we possess in
-upport of views so truly magnanimous es
his. When all who profess Christianity
partake of this spirit, we shall have little
quarreling about creeds :
.11.1038R8..EDITOR8 —lf you will allow
me a small place in your paper, I will
bring before the public a circumstance of
which I have just been advised, and which,
to my mind at least, is a case of great hard
ship. What I refer to is this :
A Catholic girl, an inmate of the House
of Refuge, being sick, and as she thought
about to die, sent for the priest of her par.
leh to administer to her the last rites of her
church, and hear her confession, none of
which, however, was permitted or allowed
to be done by the superinteneent of the
institution. This, I think, a very hard
case, and surely an assumption of power
or authority on the part of the Superin,
tendent never delegated by the managers
of the institution. I Cruet, for the sake of
our protestant Christianity, if for no
higher or more worthy motive, the matter
will be investigated, and if found as 1
have stated, that such action may be taken
as prevent a repetition of the wrong,
so that the rights of all, Catholics as well
as Protestants, shall hereafter be alike re,.
epected. You need not be told, Messrs.
Editors, that I am no Catholic. I have
ever been a Protestant—from education
and conviction—but while 1 protest against
all that I think is wrong in the doings and
dogmas of the Church of Rome, I must
ever rebuke persecution and intolerance
wherever I may find it.
We clip the above from the Dispatck,
of Saturday. There must be some mis..
take about the material part of the
statement that the clergyman was not
permitted by the Superintendent to ad
minister the rights of the Church agree
ably to the desire of the dying girl. It
cannot have reached this point in a
public institution, knocking at the doors
of the public treasury every year, and
conducted by our leading citizens. We
do not believe such conduct would be
tolerated for an instant by the Directors,
nor is it so set down in the rules of dis
cipline. But we do know the Directors
permit and Superintendents insist with
anything but good manners, that no
riest shall hear confession nor adminis
ter the rites of the Church, except in
the presence of some Superintendent.
This petty tyranny has never reach
ed the public, through the press, but
as the matter has been broached
by some one liberal enough to ap
preciate religious rights and bold
enough to express it; we hope the Di
rectors will at once see the necessity of
so modifying the rules of this institution
as to permit the freest exercise of relig
ious rights, not only at the hour of death,
but during life by all who claim it. If
the Directors or Superintendents mean
it as a school where all shall be made
Christians according to law or their par
ticular notions, let them say so, and we
shall have no further complaints to
make.
IN reply to our exposition of Dr.
Brownson's extraordinary inconsisten
cies, the Gazette, of Saturday, calls us
proslavery, and goes into a very stupid
dissertation upon the Doctor's religion.
If the Gazelle will be kind enough to
show us the connection between Dr.
Browneon's religion and his notions about
slavery, 'Re shall feel obliged. Until
then we shall rest for the present. As
for our being proslavery, the charge is
too silly a falsehood to require serious
refutation.
119..dimeng the stories told of General Nelson,
one of the best of the Federal Oommanders
Kentucky is the following;
While visiting the guard of a neighboring regi-
Ment, a few days since, he noticed the absence of
the officer in command, and demanded hie press
once. whereupon a very unmilitary-lika figure, en
veloped in a shawl, appeared.
'general Nelson—Beg your pardon, sir, I want
the officer of the guard!'
'Officer--.I am officer of the guard, air."
"Gen. Nelson—Take oft that shawl, sir." (The
mysterious stranger divests himself of the shawl.)
`Now, air, where le your sword?"
"Officer—ln my tent."
.General Nelson—Put it on, sir. Stand up now.
Take the position of a soldter, and mauls your en
parlor Officer. Very well done, air—quite correct.
Now deliver your sword to my adjutant general,
and report yourself nnder arrest, air r^

iments, at a most critical period of tkie comb* cam
palu, present, la tact, the only serious monroes of
apprehension for the Southern cause. We have
not indulged, however, in any of these will fore
bodings. We look at the peat fact-.thud, so far,
this war has derived all its vigor and MOM from
the people.
"True, the people have had
. much to complain
of in the would•be rulers, politicians and ciontraot
mongers—only their fingers-4n the war. Trite.
the soldiers havto had much to disgust them with
the service. True, there has been • sad absence
of enterprise, genius and energy In the conduct of
public affairs, such as gives nerve to the soldier's
arm:and kindles a flame in his heart. We have
bad no WI ham Pitt at the helm of State, nor dam
lag oomet•like Bonaparte carrying consternation
into the camps of the enemy everywhere around
the horizon, and we have consequently bad but a
slight manifestation of that popular enthusiasm
attending the prosecution of the war which a bril
liant governing genius inflames, but which a dull
one mows upon.
'But, in spite of all diseonragements and obstacles,
the people will do their duty. Our volunteers will
ail re-enlist, provided only that the labor and bur
den be distributed with an even band. There to
scarcely a man In our armies who makes any
other objection to oontinalng in the service than
that others remain at home equally bound with
himself to serve the country in Its need. This
difficutty is of all others moat readily removed.
This difficulty once removed, and the whole trou
ble is obviated. Our brave men already In the
camps will remain there; and our army will be at
once filled up to the fullest standing of numbers
demanded by the exigencies of the cause.
The mode of- overcoming this solitary difficulty
Is simply to abandon this system of voluntary
enlistment. Why should Government relinquish
the most sacred and vital of all Its functions—that
of commanding the services of its citizens for the
public defence? Why should the Government
abdicate its authority at the mom< nt when the
salvation of society depends upon its rigorourdy
and vigorouily putting it into requisition t Let
the Government order the soldiers already in he
field to remain there, and let it require those not
enlisted to pat themselves in the field. By calling
upon all to serve in its armies it makes the service
a cheerful one on the part of all. Those now in
sort-toe will continue in It, and perform the duty
w th an alacrity unirnlwn before, when they see
that the rest of their fellotectitisens are required
to do their part aliv>.
" Loa' Napoleon would overcome the (Uncoil
presented the subject of re enlistment in two days
He would have an immediate return of the &ble
b° lied men in every magisterial disttiat of the
South, °leashed according to their different ages,
and he would, long before the winter aball expire',
have every man under arms by name to iota his
proper corps, and in active drill and serving.
Nothing Minim more alacrity or cheerbillness in
our soldiers than the foot that all are min red to
do their duty, and that the Government is, with
energy, ability, promptitude, and, above all, with
impartiality, doing its own.
Hancock and Cumberland.
A gentleman COl l / 1 1 acted with the volunteer ser
vice has returned from Cumberland, and imparts
the only correct connected account of things u
they exist from Hancock up to Cumberland, and
south of the upper Potomac. The military situa
tion is as follows :
At Hancock, Gen, Williams, a regular offieer, 11
in command of four crack regiments, having two
howitzers and three twelve pound Parrott guns in
position. Small bodies are scattered along the
river the whole way from Hancock to Cumberland.
Jackson is lying at or near Bath, the seat of justice
for Morgan county, with a force not believed to
exceed fifteen thousand men. A Union man, well
known, came into Hancock on l ,st Sunday week,
and said that Jackson had 24,000 men and 29 guns.
His count of the guns is believed, but it is known
that he over-estimated the forces of Jackson.
At New Creek, upon the route of the railroad,
and about a mile below Cumberland, on the south
aide, there are four regimente who are fortifying
themselves strongly. T ley will be ab'e to sweep
the- river for miles, and tho country to the south
and eastward for a long distance.
Gen. Kelly succeeded in withdrawing his troops
from Romney on last Saturday night without any
aces. 818 men, under the immediate command el
Lander, are entrenchieg themselves strongly at
Patterson'', creek, distant from Otunberland eight
miles down the river, in the direction of Eanosck.
at this point there are between seven and eight
thousand men.
GPO. Kelly in person Is at thymberland. He
looks haggard and thin, but speaks coundeitly of
tOs ability to defend hlmaelL in other words, he
is "master of the intuation." He has three flail
batteries, besides heavy pieces in position.
My informant did not ea e Genera! Hosescrans,
although he came around by Wheeling. He says,
however, that he has heard numbers of the Ohio
and Indiana troops express • env m desire for
Itoaencrana to be pat In command at Cumberland.
They spoke of him with eat busiest:a regard, pre
dicting that if they gave him thirty thousand men
he would w hip Jackson, take Winchester and tare
the right flank of Manassas within a fortnight'
They served under him doling the whole of the
Kanawha campaign, and say that be never re
treated an inch, and never fought a battle he did
not win.

Speech of Mr. Wadsworth.
TL e speech of Mr. Wadsworth, of Kentucky, in
the House this afternoon was an exceedingly elo
quent effort, and created quite a sensation, all the
members of the House gathering around the
speaker during its delivery He declared that If
the emancipation party succeeded in their schemes
the border states were lost, and that all hopes of a
speedy restoration of the Union were ended. He
was very severe on Thaddeus Stevens and Mr.
Julian of Indiana. The speech of the latter for
emancipation, which was read from a manuscript
yesterday, he charaoterniel as a smooth faced

the qualities of Brandreth's Pala were brought to

months, taking often as many as fifteen pills a day,
