FRIDAY MORNING AUG ITST. _22 Alr Remain matter on every par,e- filar We - call attention to an important letter, to be found upon the outside of this day's issue, from lion. Thomas A. Scott, late Assistant Secretary of War, written to the New York Times-. The communica tion will explain itself. LAST OF VOLUNTEERING "These battles fare like to the mornit g war, When dying clouds contend with growit, _tight.'' The recent rebel reverses both in the East and West, the masterly change of position by McClellan and his command, together with the mighty preparation of our government, both upon land and water, all indicate a speedy termination of our national troubles. From this time until the war is closed it will be the "dying cloud" of treason, contending with the "growing light • • of a mom,bout This day is positively the last for vole il leering, and all those whose hearts boat I responsive to the cause of the rnion, and who envy the glory which will unquestion ably-be achieved in prostrating the most causeless and infamous revolt upon rec ord-should hasten to the ranks of err bounding and buoyant volunteers. The draft, ordered by the government, will un questionably begin at the time specified ; the assessors are at work now, so that all who-are liable to be drafted had better avail themselves of the privilege of vol unteering. To voluntarily rush to the res cue of our government is glorious to con template: while there is no such idea associated with drafting. The heroes of this civil war will, when it is over, take the places of those who conquered our in dependence. That was a mighty struggle for theestablishinent of free government: this is a mighty and sacred effort to per petuate it. This generation of men re ceived this government from those who made sacrifices to secure it, and we :me bound to transmit It, unimpaired, to those who shall s ucceed us. Ti='s rebellion once nut- dorm, our eretntry will be purified end regenerated thoroughly; our ability and man's ability for free government will be established : the idea of secession, hereafter, will be abandoned; our Union will become more united at home, presenting a more formi dable appearance to governments abroad, demonstrating .by the prowess of our masses, both North and South, that when indeed united these- States must he the masters of the afthirs of this continent, at least. There is a mighty future in store for this glorious Union yet. We are now passing through the fires of purification, but we will emerge triumphantly from the firey ordeal. This rebellion once put down and its leaders gone either into their graves or into exile, we shall • never have another,bat cur reunited States will go on in a career of prosperity and independ ence not dreamed of by its most ardent ad mirer. We wflhthen be more self reliant and defiant. We , will have the experi. once of the past' with, treacherous Albion to guide us in the future, and thus become indeed- a first -class independent power. These will he the fruits gathered by our armies in the field, and who that is able to share the dangers necessary to secure them will stand aloof from participating in so glorious au achievement MORE PATRIOTISM We must congratulate the Gazette upon the rapid increase of patriotism in its party, as demonstrated in both the civil and military departments of our county. One of the new regiments recently organ ized here has, we understand, been flir nished with Republican officers, exclusive ly„who have no more idea of military ar rangements than the Gazette has of genu ine patriotism. The Colonel of the regi ment reterred to is said to have as much rough-and-Tumble courage as a gunboat— but that is jest thething, without military knowledge, which has been so destructive to our cause. The patriotism of our opponents in the civil Way is distinguishing itself across the Allegheny. Bon. Robert McKnight has, in pursuance of a heavy pressure upon him, consented to serve another term in Congress; and we must confess that if Gen. Dioorhead's reasoning is good, .31r. McKnight is unquestionably the man who should be selected in his district. If the four years experience which the one hAs bad is a reason why he should-have several more in Congress, it applies with equal force to the other.. r We now havetoue:; - ariclitlates for tinilic,- publioan.noinination for Congress iii4lllle4. . gheny district. Mr. Williams and Mr. Cop ley are up because the coming crisis re quirea great well: Dv. Johnston will ac cePt if nominated and elected, while McKnight bases his claims to considera tion upon what he has already done for his constituents. We again congratulate the G•rztit, upon the self-sacrificing patri ot ism of the leading member= of it? piebald party. WAR UPON THE PRESIDENT "Ile radicals are continuing their fire upon the President with increased and in creasing bitterness. The New York Trib une of 'Wednesday contains a letter. over the signature of Greeley himself, under the caption of "The Prayer of Twenty Millions. — addressed "To Abraham Lin coln, President of the United States, — in v:hielt the dciiant agitator scolds and threatens bepame the Government has not :,ceepted the Abolition idea of carrying on • hostilities against the rebels.

BATTLE OF BATON ROUGE. A REBEL ACCOUNT. A correspondent of the Grenada Appeui, a rebel sheet, describing the late fight at Baton Rouge, attributes their defeat to the failure of the rebel ram Arkansas, not being in the engagement. This account does not corroborate the report of Breck inridge having lost an arm, although it will be seen that he fought -with despera tion. The foll Owing extract is descriptive: Operations on the Right. While the left was thus forcing the ene my into town, the right:wing, under Gen. Charles Clark, did not lag behind. Gen. Breckinridge was himself with this divis ion, and his presence had a magical effect upon the men. There was no danger he did not share with them. His tall form seemed übiquitous—here,there, and every where in peril, where there was an enemy to drive or a positioro gain. . Of the gal lantry and noble heaving of his young son CubelH should not speak, were it not that he is as modest as he is meritorious—a worthy scion of a noble stock. General lireckinridge.led personally several charges_ and towards the close of the action, com ing up to the Fourth and Fifth Kentucky, who had fallen back utterly exhausted, he drew his sword, and with one appealing look, said, in his clear, musical tones, "My men, charge!" This charge is described to us by an officer who participated, as one of the most signal and effective acts of the battle. The men rushed forward in no particu lar order, liring at and pursuing the enemy with a determination that could not be thwarted, driving them further than they had yet been driven. But during the whole engagement the Fourth and Fifth Kentucky displayed the utmost gallantry, worthy of the laurels they had displayed at Shiloh. I speak of the Kentucky regi ments more in detail, because I know inure of their conduct, and for the reason that they bore the brunt of the tight. But this was only in accordance with the prom ise of General Breckinridge, who, in a brief address a few days before, told his ..brace, noble, and aoged Kentuck ians" that he w.uld fend them wherever there .1 wits danger.

The narrator stopped ten hours at Gor donsyillt•, and during that. time saw not less than ten trains arrive over the Central Railroad from the South and the Char- Lotte:iville Railroad from Lynchburg— Ll.c)se from Ilirdintond bringing troops, and those from Lynchburg both troops and I .yuchburg has been the prin ipal d,,pt for collecting supplies for the Nit:hum:al army tor some time, and they can now be forwarded to by these two rout es. My informant, judging from what he saw, says that the whole Confederate army in Virginia is by this time in positions on the Virginia Central Railroad, and that it numbers near 1:70,000 men. He saw no fortifications at any of the above mention ed places, but artillery appeared to be plentiful in proportion to the numbers of infantry. Of cavalry he saw but little, most of it probably being in front of the lines on or near the quasi neutral ground, between the two opposing armies. Wagon trains were not numerous, and there is evidently a lack of transportation facili ties. It is understood that this was the reason thal:faeks.-n fell back after the bat tle of Slaughter Mountain. He could not feed a large army away from his railroad communication. Stonewall :Jackson was said to have left for Donaldsonville, but none knew his whereabouts. The informant passed through Stan nardsville and saw quite a heavy force at that point. They were nut encamped and appeared as if prepared to move. More trlops were said to he marching to the same point front Charlottesville and Gor donsville.
