The leading New York radical press
having , 2 pe lied upon the President's hal
heatted ' mode of prosecuting
against the rebels, the provincial paper,
of that persuasion are beginning to ech,
their leaders' sentiments and treason.
Treason is, according to abolition defini
tiuu, d,ffering front the President and Con
gress in their manner of conducting thc
war. The Pittsburgh Gazette, yesterday.
approached its subject very tenderly, be
ginning bystitting that the President was
not elected as a military man; that h,
made no pretensions in that way, and that
no one expected him to do anything in the
of deciding upon the "qualifications
of generals." Our neighbor then pro
ceeds to show that the President can not
rely upon the advice of his generals, be
cause they are so jeuions of each other.
and then emerges from its bushwhacking
into the open field. Here is its grievance:
"As an instance, we may mention the
incalculable influence for evil of the clam
military adviser of the President and Sec
retary of War being not only a West
Pointer' of the strictest sect, with life-long
pclitical and personal antipathies, but also
being. like - his friend General McClellan.
of the far more dangerous and pernicious
set' of men whose real feeling about thi:
war is that they are 'sorry it is Virginia
and nut Massachusetts they are fighting.'
We trust that Adjutant General Thomas.
whose conduct, when he almost suborned
testimony to trump up a case against Gen.
Fremont. excited such general and well
merited indignation last year, will no
longer be suffered to - place and displace
commanders at his good pleasure, either
by his direct influence with his superiors.
or by any kind of circuitous indirection to
wliieb he can resort after failing in his first
effort."
litre is the whole matter in a nut-shell;
Abolitionism will never be content until
that magnificent Abolition humbug, Fre
mont, is put in command of all our forces.
We are beginning to think that the sooner
this is accomplished the better it will he for
the country ; and these are ourreasons.
The Abolitionists have the control of
the Administration, and will have for some
time to come; the — sPoner they getthrough
*tit their programme for the prosecution
of the war, the sooner will the people be
able to understand their inadequacy to
bring it to a speedy and successful termi
nation. Abolitionism relies upon peoclu,-
mations of emancipation of slaves, and
kindred measures to insure speedy success.
and they will have them, too, before we
are through with hostilities. The Presi
dent can't--withstand their demands very
lung, and the sooner be grants them, tht
stoner will the country be convinced of
their worthlessness. Had he allowed
Fremont and II unterand Phelps to enforct
their proclamations, the country, by this
time, would have been satisfied of their
folly ; the President would have been re•
lieved of Abolition importunity, and the
Administration prepared to hearken to
other councils. This will have to be done
yet; the radicals insist upon their bond
and the sooner it is tested the sooner its
utter weakness will be exposed.
We—are, therefore, favorable to the
Preside! t supplanting Halleck fur Jim
Lane, and his giving McClellan's place to
Fremont; we are, in fact, favorable to the
Abolitionists weeding the army and navy
and the civil service of every one not of
their stripe, and giving their places to
genuine Abolitionists. The sooner this is
done, the sooner will the nation learn the
humiliation, the defeats and the disgrace
which sectionalism is determined to force
upon us. Let us have Abolition edicts of
abolition, emancipation, and negro equali•
ty, and officers appointed to see them en
forced ; .one month will suffiee to demon-
strate their folly ; Abolitionism then will
have tried all its expedients, and having
tried them and found them failures, they
will have to give way to those who have
altogether differerit convictions. There
is no use in spending another year in what
might be proved a miserable failure in a
month.
The Burial of Deceased Soldiers.
The Richmond Dispatch of the 26th of
JEO , says :
The manner in which the interment of
deceased soldiers is carried on in this
vicinity is a disgrace, not only to those
concerned, but those having authority in
such matters. Wc have it on the authori
ty of a gentleman, au officer of the army,
who has visited teakwood Cemetery, that
the coffins are often piled in two and three
deep in one excavation, and thus covered
up, of course rendering it out of the goes
- tion for an inquiring relative to recognize
and reclaim a corpse.
Retiefitty the gentleman above referred
to pawed the cemetery. and, seeing the
bruint work going on, naked: "Is that the
way Virginia disposes of the soldiers of
the Conieotracy? Has she not got soil
enough to furnish them each with separate,
chsuact burial?" The wan iu charge re
plied: "Is it any of your business? You
attend to our own business, and I will at
tend to nau,.." Surely, the man who dies
in defense tut his country is entitled to an
honored grace beneath her soil. If the
authuriues will not look to the matter, the
penman! friends of the deceased should.

Rebel Vandistimn Admitted.
;"Erom thelimend Examiner, July sit.:
For nearly eight weeks previous to the
Ist of July all the country between the
Meadow bridge, on the northwest, and toe
James river on the south, and for a die
lance of ten miles from the city, had been
occupied by the great armies of the South
and North. After the battle of Riohmond,
in which the Yankees were driven thirty
miles away, our people had an opportunity
of surveying the ground recently occupied
by their forces: and with good great
nes been the outcry raised against them
for the wanton destruction of private prop
erty. They have been justly branded a ,
vandals and robbers, who blight the earth
in their path like the hordes of Alaric — llO
terms of opprobium brit have been ex
hausted in heaping abuse upon their nation
and themselves.
Bur what will the people of the South
and the world think when we tell them
that whilst the Yankee invaders were lay
tog waste -the laud, destroying the crops
and butchering the stock of our farmers
on the north of the Chickahominy, our
own troops, the men who had rushed to
defend from capture and spoilation the
capital of the Confederacy, were engaged
in a precisely similar business in the
country on the south side of that stream?
ibis would seem incredible. but it is new
ertheless a sad and humiliating fact, the
truth of which is susceptible of ocular
demonstration. To-day a stranger tray
cling over the devastated country lying
between Richmond and Cold Harbor
would fail to distinguish the point where
the lines lately occupied by our army
eased and those of the Yankees began
With the exception of the farms occu
pied as headquarters by General tee.
md two or three other farms occupied by
the Major Generals under him, the whole
country has been ruined and literally laid
xaste. We will particularize one instance
where we might as easily cite fifty. Col
Robert Morris owns a farm on the Me
chanicsville turnpike, four riles east of
his city. At the time of the fulling back
if our army from the peninsula this place
was well tenced and stocked, and provi
Jed with all the machinery usual on the
terms of men of means. No sooner was
it occupied by our troops than they, appa
rently'unrestrained by discipline, or tiny
orders from their officers, commenced the
work of spoliation and destruction.
They burned up every panel of his fence,
even to his garden pa imp, smashed his
machinery and agricultural implements,
ransacked his garden, pulling up and de
stroying every growing thing, and wound
up their operations by entering his cabins
and stealing the negroes' elothing. In
consequence of this wanton destruction of
everything perishable the place wait left as
bare and desolate as if it had been occu
pied by the whole Yankee army, and in
deed' it in no respect differed from farms
actually occupied by them on the oppo
site side of the Chickahominy. At the
very time that his property was being de
stroyed before his eyes, Colonel Morris,
who is well known for his liberality
and patriotism, would gladly have
contributed anything and everything
n his power .to have aided our cause or
given comfort to our army. The same
may be said, with truth, of all the other
gentlemen whose farms, like his, have
been wantonly laid waste by our own sol
diers. Though culpable to a certain ex
tent, the common soldier in the army is
not mainly responsible for their own van
dalism. The officers are the parties re
sponsible. They are clothed with almost
despotic power over`their men, and are not
slow to exercise it upon occasions touch
ing their personal vanity and ease; and
with that power it is their duty to restrain
the troops under thicommand from acts
of pillage and ness which would
have been, and were, disgraceful in an
enemy.
OW Five rebel prisoners were taken by
Gen. Pope's scouts near Culpepper Court
louse, Va., on the 25th. They belonged
to the 2d Virginia cavalry. They gave
tome general information of interest.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press says :
St hat they think of McClellan.
The generalship of McClellan fairly be-
wildered them, and they did know what to
make of it. General Lee bad a complete
and well laid plan to capture the whole of
the Federal army, and he was so sure of
success that not the least doubt ever enter
ed his mind. All the officers and soldiers
under Lee shared the opinion of their
commanding General. But just as they
were reedy to bag their game, General
McClellan, with comparatively small loss.
considering the force engaged, changed
his whole line, completely outwitted the
rebel General, and - plaad his force in an
impregnable position. The rebel prison

DEAR PosT:—There is not much stir in
camp these hot days except the usual drill,
reviews, and the effect of Gen. Pope's late
orders. They are having quite a good ef
fect for the Union cause. Within the last
two days several hundred citizens have
come in and taken the oath. They do not
altogether relish the idea of taking such a
heavy dose of the Union all at once. A
lot of them asked Gem Milroy what would
be done if they did not take the oath. He
told them they would be considered as
rebels, their property confiscated, them
selves conducted outside the lines, from
whence they might go to hell for all he
cared. Touch their pockets and you have
them at youi mercy. Their honor they
do not care much fur, but their money—
'that's what's the matter." The idea of
1 sing their property they cannot for a mo
ment think of, and of course they take the
oath and take their departure, cursing deep
but not loud.
Yesterday we had a flag raising in camp.
It was heisted at the General's headquar
ters. The Brigade was called together,
and after hoisting the dear old flag several
speeches were made. One was delivered
by Dr. Hersey and one by Capt.M' Donald,
both of Milroy's staff, and both Virginians.
M' Donald was raised in this town. While
the speaking was going on several citizens
here standing by, some regarding it with
pleasure and others with indifference. The
Imeeting passed off pleasantly, every one
being highly pleased with the day's per
formance. The General, atter repeated
calls, wade his appearance on the stand,
and was greeted with cheers that came
from the hearts of the boys—for if there
ever was a man beloved by a set of men,
that man is Gen. Milroy. He spoke a few
words, and thus ended the meeting. These
speeches are having a good effect on the
citizens; a new light is beginning to dawn
in t heir minds, and a great many have al
ready declared themselves no longer friends
to secession, but say they are willing to
read the records and learn what has been
held from them since the reign of terror ,
began. It is to be hoped that we will win
back, by kind words, a great many who
have been deceived in this matter. There
are some, though, dist will have to be
brought back by the bayonet, and by feel
ing their pockets. .1 great many contra
band; have come in with the last few days,
asking for work. rho messes are each
furnishing themselves with a cook now,
which relieves the boys a great deal in
their heavy- labors.
Yesterday cannon were tired at inter
vals of one-half hour each, "sacred to the
memory" of our once worthy and able
. citizen and statesman, Martin Van Buren.
Ile news of his death was received by us
all as an event that should be cotiAidel
as one of the ealaruitie' of th.• time. In
the evening thirty four earls were brad by
Captain Buell's reserve artillery. The
booming of the cannon, although it wa
on a mournful occasion, was the cause of
many a cheer from the boys, who have not
yet torgotteu the exciting scenes on the
eattle•tield at Cross Keys and other places
where they have been engaged. The boom
ing of cannon is a great terror to the ne
grow. It i the signal for a great many of
• them to hunt hiding places, as they think
surely that the Day of Judgment, or s ome
other "vent they don't w is h to meet ,:i s
about at hand.
On the 2eth General Sigel reviewed 'WI.
He seemed perfectly satisfied with the kind
of material he saw before him. The boys
were also pleased with the General.
would occasionally hear a remark from
some of the boys that •• he is not a; good•
looking an officer as Fremont; but look
at his eye," and "that quick movement of
his; Fremont had not such as that, and
we know Sigel by reputation to be his
superior.'

tram us were cur gunboats and sharp
shooters. Ile compared the shells thrown
from our gunboats, in size, to a churn.—
He does nut want to take up arms again,
as he has gut enough of it.
The sanitary condition of our regiment
i s ver y goo d. The. Pennsylvania, boys in
the regiment are in good health, good
spirits, and very anxious to take a part in
the Richmond fight. The report that
Oen. Jackson was at Gordonsville with
fat,eoo men, for th - purpose of driving as
out °niece, was received by the boys with
cheers. All they ask is to get at Jackson,
an d h e wit! n o t g et Lasts easy as he did in
the Shetiouduatt Valley. Sigel is runt the
man to run seventy•five miles from forty
cavalry as the boys have it. It may not
be amiss to mention the regiments that
Rime our brigade. They are the 2d, 3d,
and Sth Virginia regiments, and the 82d
Ohio, together with Capt. Johnston's 12th
Ohio battery and fOur companies of the Ist
Virginia cavalry,uuder Maj Krapps. The
82d Ohio has taken the place of the 25th
Ohio, who by a vote of their officers, left
our brigade and joined Gen. McClean.—'
Bitterly have they repented the fatal vote.
A petition was get out some few days ago
and every officer but two petitioned to
again get hack with Milroy, or as the boys
cell him, "Grey Eagle;" but it "can't be
did" now, as they find. The 25th is one
of the:best regiments in the service. They,
together with our regiment, held "Elk
Water" and "Cheat Mountain" against
the best of Gen. Johnston's rebel force at
Allegheny camp.
We have the largest regiment in the
brigade, and I suppose by great odds the
healthiest.
I understand that a reconnoitering party
of the rebels and some of our force had a
fight at Culpepper Court House to-day.
How true it is I am not able to state.
By this time I imagine the mind of the
reader bored considerably by this dry, un
interesting epistle, and with the fact in
view that the mail is about leaving I will
close by requesting friends of the five com
panies of Pennsylvania boys to send us a
fsw good papers occasionally. A Weekly -
Post is about as nice a present as any of
our boys would desire. We will not refuse
reading matter of any kind, in fact. Those
who have experienced camp life will know
the eagerness of a soldier to get hold of
something to read.

ILEALNI AHTEIti nr THE AaMY OF THE
Poromac, 51oxbAv.—Ever since the firing
upon our shipping at the mail-boat land
ing ly the enemy's batteries, our troops
have occupied the opposite shore. Yes
terday a reconnoissance was made from
that point back into the country, to within
fourteen miles of Petersburg. It was con
ducted by Colonel Averill, and was com
posed of one hundred and fifty of the
sth U. S., and 159 of the 3d Pa. Cavalry,
with four companies of the Ist Michigan,
Captains Cutter and Bowen,of M'Clellan's
staff, accompanied them. At Cox Mills,
five miles from the river, they encountered
the 13th Va. cavalry drawn up in line of
battle. Our men charged on them, when
they broke and run. They drove them to
their encauipment at Sycambre Church 21
miles further, when they again ionised,
but were ingloriously put to flight, lea*ing
behind all their tents, camp equile•ge and
commissary stores, which our troops gath
ered together and burnt. The rebels had
two hores killed, six men wounded, and
two taken prisoners. We had only a horse
killed. After scouring the country a abort
distance timber they returned to the river.
There is no further evidence of the rebel
gunboats iu the river this side of Ft. Dar ,1
ling. Information goes to show that the
new Merrimac will not be ready for three
weeks yet.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 4.—The American of
this morning contains the following: "On
last Saturday morning, about six o'clock,
the steamer 'George Weems,' Captain
Weems, left this port for her usual trip on
the Patuxant river, with a considerable
number of passengers, nearly all of whom
were ticketed from St. Mary a and Calvert
counties. There were also on board six
police officers, who had been ordered these
for the purpose of arresting suspicious
,-haracters and -preventing the transporta
tion of contraband merchandise. As soon
as the steamer neared Ft. McHenry. She
was signaled to stop, and was soon moor
ed at the wharf. Gen. Morris sent Capt.
J. Milton Ferry, Co. A, 12th Y. Y. State
National Guard, and Lieut. Theo. C. E- ib
bee, also of a New York regiment, with
an armed guard, to search the steamer
and report. This duty was performed in
the most thorough manner, and the arrest
of a number of the passengers and the
seizure of contraband goods and letters—
the latter unstamped, and one hundred
and two in number. The goods and let
ters were seized, and are now in the gen
eraPs quarters. The passengers were ex
amined, and placed in the guard house.
The search over, the steamer was per
mitted to depart with the officers, for the
purpose of boarding the steamer Mary
Washington of the line. She was met
near the Bodkin, boarded and brought up
to the fort wharf. No contraband mar
chandize was discovered, but about one
hundred and sixty-five letters all unstamp•
ed, and the contents mostly of a business
character, which were taken in charge, as
in the case of the other steamer. A num
ber of passengers were on hoard who re
fused to take the oath, and they nre now
confined in the fort."
WASH' NeroN , August 4.—The i-teamer
Wvandattk has brought up eight prisoners
and five refugees from the neighborhood
of the Rappahannock. The prisoners
that have been taken were, during the
past week, engaged in transporting goods
across the Chesapeake from the Rappahan
nock to the rebels. The Wyandank a few
days since overhauled the schooner mail
of Brooklyn, for violating the blockade by
trading with the inhabitants South of the
Rappahannock. She is loaded with an
sorted cargo, consisting of shoes, salt.
and also had a large quantity of wheat on
board. Martin Rainer the Captain. and
H. Chamberlain, who appeared to i.e the
business men, were taken on board the
Wyandauk, and brought up with the other.
prisoners. The schooner was towed up to
the yard yesterday by the Leslie.
One day last week Acting Masters Mate
Sheridan, of the Wyandauk, with a boat's
crew from the Freeborn, captured off
George's Island two canoes laden with
salt, and becompanied by two men each,
who were making their way towards
Secesh. They were sent on board the
‘Vyadank and brought up to this city.
The itehance a few days ago captured a
canoe in the Rappahannock in the neigh
b whood of Urbana, with a mail of about
trty letters, addressed mostly to the of
fie.:.rs and men of the 40th Virginia regi
ment, near Richmond. The letters seem
mostly to be cf a private character, and
from the tact that many of them are en
closed in envelopes which have been turn
ed and on the inside bear directions to
parties at Heathsville. Northumberland
county. Va. It is quite certain letters have
been forwarded trom that neighborhood.
Several of them have the post mark Balti
more on the inside and undoubtedly have
been sent from there to be forwarded from
Heathsville. One of them, directed to
Capt. Hiram Cole, asks him to send some
of [tide Sam's greenbacks from Rich
mond, the writer being under the impres
sion that the officers and soldiers of the
rebel army made themselves rich by rob
bing the killed and wounded Federal
troops of the money they had on their
persons.
Several refugees came up on the Wynn
dank. They all reside in Middlesex co.,
and were at one time in the 55th Virginia
regiment, but when that regiment left
Fredericksburg for Richmond they desert
ed and returned to their homes, where
they have been living for two months
past. but sleeping nightly in the woods and
in a boat in the river, being in dread
of roving bands of cavalry, who have been
scouting the country in search of them
and other deserters. On Monday night
last, hearing that the cavalry would scour
the woods for them, all but Jackson made
their escape and came off to one of the
gunboats for protection.
Rev. T. N. Conrad, who has recently
been preaching for the Southern Metho-.
dist Church, has been arrested by order of
the provost guard, and sent to the old
Capitol prison. The charges against him,
holding communication with the enemy,
and attempting to send his scholars as re
cruits to the rebel army.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—At a meeting of
the Common Council to-day, Mayor Op
dyke sent in a message urging immediate
steps to co-operate with the Federal Gov
ernment in perfecting the defenses of this
harbor, and recommending an appropria
tion of one million of dollars for the con
struction of iron-plated batteries and ships.
At a meeting of the Board of Aldermen
an ordinance was offered providing for a
bounty of $5O in addition to all other
bounties offered by the State or United
States to each volunteer, and appropriat
ing $250,000 therefor.
A special dispatch from Washington to
the Post says, in answer to a deputation
of prominent citizens who waited on the
President to day, to urge the acceptance ,
of negro regiments, that President Li
ncoln replied that he could not accept negro '
regiments, but would accept as many as
offered themselves as laborers. This, it is
understood, is the settled policy. of the
Government.
CINCINNATI ' Aug. 4.—The contribution,
to the bounty fund commenced to-day. A
few citizens gave sixty thousand dollars as
a start.
