AUDITOR GENERAL, ISAAC SLENIEF.R. Tinton County SURVEYOR GENERAL, JAMES P. BARR, Allegheny County MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST Al? Reading matter on every page PROPOSITION We propose to Sheriff Woods to pub lish the forthcoming list of Sheriff's Sales and the usual handbill■ accompanying the same, and to devote the entire proceeds to the Volunteer Bounty Fund. By ac cepting this offer the Sheriff will, without loss to himself, be•the means of increas ing this most patriotic fund. Will he do it? GREAT MEN IN DEMAND. • We rejoice to witness that, notwithstand ng the absorption of thought and energy among our people, in their patri •tic endeavors to respond properly and promptly to the government's call for volunteers, the no less important business of selecting competent. public servants in - civil capacities is not entirely overlooked. We were impressed with this, by glancing at the Pittsburgh Gazette of Sat arday last, containing a double correspond ence, between our distinguished fellow citizen, Hon. Thomas Williams, and cer tain well known citizens of both the Con gressional districtsinto which our county is divided, urgently soliciting him to become their respective candidates for Congress. While perusing the first of these commu nications, coming as it did from Elizabeth township, we inferred that it was an indi oation of a desire to get rid of Gen. Moorhead, who, it is well known, is de sirous of serving the district for another term. These Elizabeth gentlemen seem thoroughly impressed with the necessity of having some one else than a mere con tractor in Congress during the coming term, and express themselves, in their note to Mr. Williams, accordingly. They express confidence "in his honesty and ability," which we infer to be a slight re flection upon our present member. N o reason is given for this sly thrust at the General, but we presume that it was caused by his heroic and defiant endorsement of Cameron's operations in the War Depart ment, by which several worthy Pennsyl vanians are said to • have accumulated something quite handsome. P.r, this, as it may, Mr. Williams was evidently struck by the reference to his honesty and ability, and like all really great and modest men, he exhibits the emotion which the allusion produced. He truthfully remarks that "the largest capacity and the highest wis dom will not be snore than equal to the requirements of the position." This is evidently another plunge at our present member; but, in justice to Mr. Williams, we should remark. that. lie disclaims hay ing the vanity to suppose himself able to come up to the standard which he himself has created! The question here naturally arises, if Mr. 'Williams is not capable of giving effect and action to his own great conceptions, who is? And here we again perceive that artless greatness which, like crystal, only shows the thing it would hide but only covers. Surmounting these con siderations of sensibility, Mr. Williams soars aloft, and patriotically declares that the position referred in is orre not to be shunned by any patriot upon whom it may be imposed, and closes his communication by informing those who addressed him that he does not live in this Congressional dis trict, and "therefore declines the honor intended him." Just- here we paused, wondering what this long correspondence meant, and what it was all about, regard ing it as a "most lame and impotent con clusion," when, further down in the same paper, we perceived another correspond ence between the aforesaid Thomas Wil liams, Esq., and some dozen prominent gentlemen residing in his own district. We proceeded to peruse this, in order to discover the "milk in that cocoanut," and that rare liquid was at once discernible. This committee also deSired to monopolize the services of our remarkable fellow-ci Zen, in Congress, and we presumed that the first. correspondence, declining, was iiblished merely as a graceful introduc- tory to the more serious one of accepting that which followed. It seemed us the cuttle-fish, to indicate the near - approach of his rapacious follower. This second correvondence is heavier and more serious than the first; it presents all the marks of being the production of old, political stagers. 'rho committee speak about " mornentoie:. questions," and the necessity of the services, in die national councils, of our coun- try's "ablest statesmen and purest patr ots." This, necessarily, leads the com mittee to solicit Mr. Williams to permit his name to be used, which we construe into n. petty, plausiNe dodge for con- signing oar amiable friend, Mr. McKnight to the pleasing and tranquil shades of private life. Mr. Williams' reply to this second demand upon his patriotism seems to have aroused him to the proper concep tion of the magnitude of the occasion ; and he declares that it "him cost ns a year's delay and a hundred thousand lives to educate the nation's representatives up to the level of the necessities which so many of its public functionaries have trot Jet readed." We infer, very clearly, from this, that had our luminous fellow -citizen been elected to Congress, when he ran as the champion of anti-bit, all the disasters I to our country of which to now complains would havnbeen lutipp*sioided. Whatan inconceivably mI dehildriPonding - _ occasion, entailed upon a bleeding country? After this allusion to the past Congress, the distinguished gentleman gives us some very fine rhetoric, from which we- are tempted to select the following Their task has been, however, a trilling one, compared with that which is reserved for their successors. To solve the many dark and mysterious problems of state which every hour is evolving—to gather up and bind together anew the shattered fragments of our once great and powerful Republic—to replace on their original foundations the dismembered and broken columns of the once beautiful temple, which is now "so marred by the hands of traitors"—and to make our present sacri fices available for future generations, by restoring the divine harmonies which per vaded that glorious. structure—these-- these are a task which may well engage, and perhaps even over-master, the highest faculties that have ever been vouchsafed to man. And yet this is to be the work of the Congress which you are about to elect." This, we confess, is a very striking pic ture of the duties likely to devolve upon the next Congress. But as Mr. Wil liams remarks that. "great occasions pro duce great men,'• may see not fondly in dulge the pleasing anticipation o!' having in our next Congress men who ran not only solve the "many dark and mysterious problems of the State,'• but also re,tore the divine harmonies'• which once per vaded our beautiful structure After another modest disclaimer as to his ability to ,be of much :.:erviee, Mr. Williams concludes to he a candidate, so we announce him to th,• I:opublican voters of our sister district. In order that those interest k:kl in the _f2l Congressional district may have an idea of what is in store for them, we may remark that their prospective Congress man differs. entirely, in his military con ceptions, with any General now in the field. He differed in the beginning of our troubles with the plans of Clen. Scott : Ile next objected to those of M'Clellan Ike now denounces Haneck's ; and it. e:ay he fair to presume thet he will keep differing from these officers as 1011:2 as r Von t-lames, just as determinedly as he has !Well differing with the decisions of :;nl , ren Court. There .S 00 •luo.=tion ithi , lll Williams' military capacity- the only trouble is, that common folks can't see it. le is several years ahead of the age in which he lives. "Great occasions call forth great minds," however : and in the double correspondence tr. which we have alluded we think that we perceive among the masses that delicate and comprchen: sive appreciation of the wonderful ability which is just now bursting upon the men tal vision of an admiring penp . e. In a few short months, when in Congress .• re storing the divine harmonies, - should he be solicited to take command of the entire armies of the Republic, we trust that Mr. Williams will not leave its to mourn his loss, but that he will refuse. any :itch. tempting proffer, remembering that he " lies won golden ;01'1 4 of Pe-Ph , Which should he worn in their Not east aside so soon." A GOOD STORY SPOILED Some tune since an individual calling' himself Rev. Clark, of Houston.' Texas, made a very met:manly speech. giving the particulars of the death of hi:; late father-in-law, Gen. Sam, Houston. He made a very touching 4ory, mention iug, among other inchients, the tics of Sara., just before closing his eyes in death, calling for the deg of United States- - the old flag, and after wrapping if closely around his breast, the aged patriot smilfoi , a light seemed to pass over Id s and after breathing a few audible ;,enten- ces in prayer for his country, spirit winged its flight t,, region-, of i - ternal bliss. This pathetic. ai•c omit. I tio• mo ments of old San .lacintu been spoiled by a Mr. IVesley Johnston, who appears in the Chicago Times, and proves very conclusively Ilint the Rev, C'lark's story is a hug,• lithrieation. DRAFTING. IVe clip the following froth a Lancaster paper: " Inquiry was made of the Attorney- General whether the excess of these vol unteers, now numbering over fourteen hundred, over the quota apportioned t.o the Old Guard, cannot be counted in the draft, The Attorney-General replied that, it would not : and when asked whether there was any legal objections, he replied that there was not—only prit,tico/ ones : that he had received innumerable let ters from committees, congressional dis• tricts, cities, villages, and even por tions of townships, wanting to know if they send as volunteers more than their quota, whether this excess cannot lie con sidered as an offset to a draft. In COME,- quence of this, the enthusiastie loyalty of Lancaster county, that has practically evinced its willingness to enter the ser vice by more than double the number de manded of her, must be subjected to a draft." The reason why Pennsylvania was ea ed upon but for twenty-one regiments un der the first call for three hundred thous and we understood is because she re ceived eredit for the surplus sent, into the field, being the Reserves and sever al other regiments. The question now to be settled is will Allegheny or any other county receive credit, on the requisition for a draft, for the num- ber raised in excess of the quota first call ed. If the Attorney General has made any such decision, it will produce a reac tion in volunteering at once. Counties not responding to the call for volunteers should be subject to a draft for their share uhder both calls. Will Governor Curtin make this matter clear at once. There is not only great repugnance drafting, but it would he attended with most serious consequences to our commu nity especially. It would take an amount of skilled labor sufficient to close the ma jority of our manufacturing establishments and workshops, and effectually unhinge the industrial interests of Allegheny coun- ty; but, under the volunteer system, society accommodates itself to the depletion, and those most 'required at home to keep all interests in healty motion, are retained. It would :imply be an outrage upon the Patriotism of oar people, on the part of the authorities, to refuse to accept volun teers where they are freely offered in place of drafted men. Can we not have a deft- nits understanding at once, either from Harrisburg or Washington? - -Since writing the above, We find the following in the Eastern papers of Sot- " EAsTox August 8, 1862. "To His Excellency , Abrahams Lincoln, President of the United Beata: Or-coan ty has raised its quota of the call for vol unteers. We have a surplus on hand, and men still coming in. We want very much to lilt our quota of the draft with volun teers, and thus avoid the draft and furnish better men. Can we do it? Please an swer. Allou r arrangements for recruiting and bounties wait on the answer, and the excitement to enlist is so high that it is unwise to check it. Do answer to-day. (Signed) "A. H. Emma." WASIIINCTON, August 8. •• To 11i,12. A. li. Reeder: Your telegram to the President has been referred to this Department : " The General Government apportions the quota of militia force among the States, but has no regard to county or dis trict. 'Whatever volunteer fume above its ratable proportion shall he offered by a State, any time before a draft is actually made, would be accepted by the Depart ment and credited upon the draft as a bre portionable reduction. It would be right for the State to make a proper allowance to any county that exceeds its proportion : but it must be left to the Executive of the State to make such arrangements. " By order of secretary of War. I Signed I C. 11. Itrt`KINCIIAM. Brig. (hen. and A. A.

NEW YORE, Aug. 9.—The New York i•:xpress announces that Superintendent of Police Kennedy to-day received orders fron, Washington authorizing him to act as Provost Marshall, with his officers as a guard. The New York Herald says: Our cor respondence from Hilton Head touching the new rebel ram Fingal and the pro ceedings of the enemy in that quarter is highly interesting. They new gunboat is fully armed and manned. She has been altered froth the British steamer of that name, which ran the blockade into Savan nah last spring, and, it is said, is now quite a formidable engine of destruction. She carries two one hundred pound rifled guns, six ten inch columbiads, four fifty pound rifled guns and two twenty-four pounders for grape and canister. She is said to resemble the Merrimac in shape and form, with a massive beak at either end. Our troops are preparing to receive her. The plan of the rebels is said to be first to destroy our fleet and then move the Fingal around to Seabrook and then cover the landing of their forces. They, mean while, are concentrating land forces at Bluffton, at Hardeesville, and at Grahams vil le. CULPEPPER, Vt., August B.—Caen.

AD 3 TTART AND INsi.EcToE GENERAL OfrlEE,} itrcum.,ND, August ],1842. 1. The following orders are published for the information and observance of all concerned: 2. WHEREAS, By a general order dated 22d July, 1862, - issued by the Secretary of War of the United States under the order of the President of the United Stites, the military commanders of that government. within the States of Virginia, South Caro: lien. Georgia, Florida, Alabama i Missis sippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansaa are to seize and use any property, real or per sonal. belonging to the inhabitants of this Confederacy. which may be necessary Or convenient' for their several commands and no provision is made for any compen sation to the owners of private property thus seized and appropriated by the mili tary commanders of the enemy. And whereas, by General Order No. I, issued on the 23d of July, 1862, by Major General Pope, commanding the forces of the enemy in Northern Virginia, it is so ordered that all commanders of any army corps, divisions, brigades, and detached commands, will proceed imme diately to arrest, all disloyal male citizens within their limits, or within their reach in the rear of their respective commands. Such as are willing to take the oath of i‘l• legiance to the U. S., and will furnish sufficient security for the observance,shall be Permitted to renetin et their homes, and pursue in good Ihith their accustomed avocations. Those who retitse shall be conducted south beyond the extreme pickets of this army, and he notified that if found again anywhere within our or at any point up the rear, they will he considered as spies, and subjected to the extreme rigor of military law. It any per son having taken the oath as above speci • tied be found to have violated it, he shall be shot and his property seized and applied to the public use. Fourth. And whereas by an order is sued on time 1:;th of .1 uly, Mao, by Briga dier General A. Steinwehr, Major William Steadman, a cavalry officer of his brigade, has been ordered to arrest five of the most .prominent citizens of Page county, Vir ginia, to he held as hostages, and . to suffer death in the event of any of the soldiers of the said Steinwehr being shot by bush whackers, by which term is meant the citizens of the confederacy who have taken up anus to defend their homes and fami lies. And whereas it results from the above orders that some of the military au thorities of the United States, nut content with the unjust and aggressive warfare hitherto waged with savage cruelty against an unottending people, and exasperated by the allure of their efforts to subjugate them, have now determined to violate all the rules and usages of war, and to con vert the hostilities hitherto waged against armed forces into a campaign of robbery and murder against unarmed citizens and peaceful tillers of the soil. • Secretary of State 0. , And whereas this government, bound by the highest obligations of duty to its citizens, is thus driven to the necessity of adopting such measures of retribution and retaliation as shall seem adequate to re mess and punish these barbarities, and whereas the orders above recited have only, been published and made known to the government since the signature of a cartel for the exchange of prisoner of war, which cartel, in so thr as it provides for an exchange of prisoners hereafter cap tured would never have been signed by this government it' the. intention to change the war into a system of indiscriminate murder and robbery had been made known to it; and whereas, a just regard to hu manity forbids that the suppreSsion of crime, which this government is compel led to inforee, should he unnecessarily ex tended to retaliation on the enlisted men in the army of the United States, who may be unwilling instruments of the savage cruelty of their commanders, so long as there is hope that the excesses of the ene• my may be Accked or prevented by-retri bution on the commissioned officers, who have the power to avoid guilty action by refusing service under a government which seeks their aid in the perpetration of such infamous barbarities. 7. Therefore, it is ordered that Major General Pope, Brigadier General Stein wehr, and all commissioned officers serv ing under their respective commands, be, and they are hereby, expressly and espec ially declared to be not entitled to he con sidered 'as. soldiers, and therefore not entitled to the benefit of the cartel for the parole of the fixture prisoners of war. Ordered, further, that, in the event- of the capture of :Major General Pope, or Brigadier General St einwehr, or any .com missioned officer serving under them, the captive so taken shall be held in close confinement so long as the orders afore said shall continue in force and un- - repealed by the competent military authority of the united States; and that in the event of the murder of any unarmed citizen or inhabitant of this Confederacy by virtue or under-pre text of one of the orders herein before re cited, whether with or without trial, whether under pretense of such a citizen being a spy, or hostage, or any other pre tense, it shall be the duty of the command ing general of the forces of this confeder acy to cause immediately to be hung out, of the commissioned officers, prisoners as aforesaid, a number equal to the number of our own citizens thus murdered by the enemy. By order, S. Owen, A. A. G.
