DAILY POST. The 1:1 otos as it was ; WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUG. 27 SFr Residing masteries every par• THE PRESIDENT AND MR. GREELEY. The admirable reply of the President to the impertinent letter of the fanatical Greeley is hailed with enthusiasm by the moderate men of all parties, while the radicals are savage and furious as ever. The bold ones are open in their denuncia tions of it, while others, holding little positions under tne Government, like the five or six gentlemen connected with the Pittsburgh Gazette, keep their spleen within their teeth, and say nothing. The letter is a very large sized wet blanket Upon the backs of the Abolition radicals. But the audacity of the rickety fanatic Greeley, who addressed an impudent and insulting letter to the President, and that 'tan the name of "twenty millions of prerf-s r ." paws belief. This restless agitatar af4onld be taken care of; he - is doing, and has done, more to strengthen the rebels than all the "Breckinridge sym pathizers" in the free States. This same Greeley, who now censures the President because he did not, in his inaugural ad dress, eighteen months ago, threaten the rebels with negro emancipation, published in lefilirreksrie, about one month before it wr.rt r a article of which the fol lowing is a.n extract: "If the Cotton States shall become sat isfied that they can do better out of the Union than in it, we insist on letting them go in peace. The right to secede may be a revolutionary one, but it exists, never theless. * * * We must ever resist the right of any State to remain in the Union and nullify or defy the laws thereof. To withdraw from the Union is quite another matter, and whenever a consider able section 'of our Union shall deliber ately . resolve to go out, we shall resist all coercive measures designed to keep it in. We hope never to live in a republic where of-one section is pinned to another by bay onets." The truth is Greeley has been a disunion ist these ten years; nineteen months ago he was favorable to a peaceable dissoution in order to get rid of slaveholders; now ho is in for interminable slaughter for the same purpose. He is as much of a dis unionist as Wendell Phillips, and he and his set of-Northern conspirators are no better than the same number of the very worst traitors in the South. The violent and bloody propositions which are now being discussed in the rebel Congress show the effect which the Tribune and its coadjutors has produced in the South. Let its infernal teachings be followed, and the Southern Confederacy retaliate, and wf will see a war of massacre and butchery, the like of which the world has not yet seen. -But perhaps this is what the arch agitator desires; perhaps he wishes to see the Union go to pieces in wide spread slaughter. Perhaps he wishes the spirit of the first born Cain to reign in all bosoms, that '•darkness only may become the burier of the dead." The inconsistencies of the Tribulie are as glaring as its audacity. It now complains that the President did not, in his in. augural, proclaim emancipation, and y.lt when that address was delivered, the Tribune spoke of it in this way, in the very number which contained it : "The address cannot fail to exercise a happy influence on the country. The tone of almost tenderness with which the South is called upon to return to her allegiance cannot fail to convince even those who dif fer with Mr. Lincoln that he earnestly and seriousiy desires to avoid all difficulty and disturbance, while the firmness with which he avows his determination to obey the simple letter of his duty must command the respect of the whole country." On the day following the Tribune re turned to• the consideration of the inau gural and said the address of President Lincoln is received with "almost univer saLsatisfaction," and that the public ex pectation has been gratified to find the address "marked by a sagacity us striking as its courage,-and by an absence of all passion as remarkable as its keen division of the line of duty, its unequivocal state ment of the issues at stake, and uncom promising admissions of their precise value." Now what attention should President Lincoln or this country pay to the ravings of this infuriated C-reeley ? None whatever. And we are, therefore, pleased to see that the President has given him and his craft to understand that hereafter he is not to be affected by their secret plottings, or when they fail, their open opposition.-- Old Abe has adopted "a policy" at last. CHARLOTTE CUSHMAN. A London letter, alluding to this great American Queen of. Tragedy, remarks that he "had the pleasure one evening of meeting, at the house of one of the friend ; ly members of Parliament, Miss Charlotte Cushman, who usually runs over from Rome to pass the hot season in this coun try. She is in excellent healthand spirits, and really appears a 3 youthful as she did when I first saw her at the old Park Thea tre, in New York, a quarter of a century ago. I was delighted to find her intensely patriotic, and I should not be altogether surprised, from what she said j to hear that she had gone home to offer her services in some way to the good cause. I never shall forget her attitude, the expression of , her face, and the thrilling, yearning tone of her voice as she said to me, 4 I want to go home. I long to be in _the midst of it!' " We hardly know in what branch of the service Charlotte would be most useful, but we imagine that her forte, in time, would prove to be an officer of cavalry. She is evidently calculated to be a leader of some sort. The manner in which she •s&- , s Vs , •hr.th u, perpetrate the murder with terrible 1.1 ti (non the stare, shows her to be poar,eszed tit a spirit Which eau brook no control. Her mettle admirably qualifies her for the impetuous charges of the neighing steed. Or, suppose she be sent into the mountains of Virginia, in the simple role of Meg Merriles Let her but make those sudden entrances among the rebel chiefs that characterize her rush, upon the startled . kaze of Harry gertram, and even Davis himself will become transfixed and be easi ly captured. She would prove a match for Stonewall Jackson in the celer ity Of her movements, and would, in all probability, be able to capture that restless rebel some evening while at his prayers. Charlotte's longing to be "in the midst" of our civil war shows her to he a fellow of the true metal, and we expect to hear of her early arrival in the 'United States, and of her receiving and accepting an impor tant military command. She has 'the stuff in her" for a leader of dragoons or a company of Zan:lves ; she would make an admirable ofli2er of Turko s, and would, in sny military capacity, in a single cam paign, obscure the brilliancy of the fame of Margaret of Anjou or Joan of Arc. so it to ! What a splendid opportunity there is presented for some heorine to render her name immortal in putting down the great American rebellion? The little hand to hand engagement between the Dauphin and the maid of Orleans, and the battle of Barnett between Queen Margaret and the Duke of York, would be nothing in coin parison to the wild, chivalric and roman tic encounters in the mountains and val leys of Virginia, between two such leaders as Charlotte 'Cm:llmin and Stonewall Jackson. Kellen Yefi.lreger, upon her tut- Live heath, bidding deli:tape to the. Eng lish fortes, is merely suggestive of the athletic Charlotte when clad in complete armor. She would conduct her campaigns in a purely melodramatic style, throwing about them all the allurements of scenery and blue fire. With the enthusiasm and energy of Isabella, she would appear the very impersonation of warlike genius. and would upon every ocemion look terror to the foe and courage to her soldiers. To insure entire fairness and give public confidence in the manner of draftiug. about to be made upon the able bodied men in this county, we propose that thc Executive Committee, now in session, composed of our leading and most tcspom:ible citizens, be invited to supervise or nt least witness the details of that interesting process. Doubtless the officials deputed to conduct the lottery would be anxious to share the responsibility with those whose character would prevent the slightest intimation of unfairness. If the gentlemen ccmposing the Committee hesitate about assuming new duties, let th,nt smjgest a. inn which. without interfering with the law, will en force public confidence in the distribution of prizes.

Editor Piltsbarph Pogi---A part of the Pittsburgh press has in several occasions recently imputed disloyaltv to the people of Fayette county, and chargol us with a dereliction of duty in this hour of national calamity. On Saturday last, the Chron ic/e, noting the arrival in the city of a squad of men flout Fayette county, under Mr. Brown, of Brownsville, said That Fayette will have to be I Iralif,d heaviiy, as site deserves to be.' A short time he fore, the Dispatch stigmatized this as the meanest county in the Sette. — Fayette has sent to the army as large or a larger proportion of her citizen; titan any other comity- in the State. If thiit be cut=e thr a heavy draft, then should Fayette be called on; if this constitutes ne•anness, then may Fayette with propriety be salted " the meanest county in the Slate." Previously to the calls for :ton,oon vol unteers and :100.000 militi a , F ayette bad sent to the army the fillo:vin g Murtemi full companies: Capts. Oliphant's, Comer's. Bierer's, Davidson's, Fuller's, Ludiag• ton's, Weimer's, Wilkinson's. Abrams', Guiler's, Swearingen's, Gilmore's, West's, and Kerr's. tlt is proper to say that Capt. Guiler's company was divided, and the men assigned to the Washington and Greene county companies in the 85th regi ment.) In addition, to these full com panies, a very large number of Fayette men went into the companies of Captain Warden. Westmoreland county; Capt. Smith, Washington county; Capt. Magee, Morgantown, Va. ; Col. Wynkoopls 7th Pennsylvania cavalry. and Gen. Buell's Body Guard. I think it v.-wild be safe to say that be fore the last calls Fayette had 1500 men in the service. Since the last calls she has sent one full company, Capt. Dushane's, (her quota under the first requisition for 300,000,1 and two parts of companies, in addition to a large number recruited for the old regiments. Fayette will compare not unfavorably with Allegheny, of which latter these edi tors so persistently boast. Of the 300,000 volunteers called for, Fayette, with a population of 40,000, was required to fur nish one company,and Allegheny,with 180,- 000, fifteen companies. Thus, on account. of the disparity in the numbers previously furnished by the two counties, Allegheny was called on for 31 times as many us Fay ette, having regard to population. In other words, while 40,0tui people in Fay ette were required to furnish only one company, 40,000 people in Allegheny were required to furnish 31 companies to make the two counties equal. The Chronicle says that Brown's men will be counted as Allegheny men. Fay ette can spare to Allegheny Brown and his men and furnish what is required of her besides. But we should like to know of the Chronicle by what law or authority Allegheny will be entitled to a credit for men from other counties? One difference between the two:coun ties is that Allegheny buys her men by n large bounty, while the people of Fayette volunteer from a sense of simple duty. FAY ETTE. A Secession Trick Discovered One of the steamboats running on a regular line from Baltimore to points on the Eastern and Western shores of Mary land, was overhauled the other day when she was about leaving her wharf. Eight or ten hogsheads ot- sugar and molasses—or what appeared to be—were found onboard. destined per directing for parties in Mary land. On opening several of these they w e' re r.rovKl to Ito filled whit , &C.. clesiklat.d for tin- conwor acv. The4ittecheads had fir-4 been packed with arms, and then molasses or sugar put in so as to elude suspicion. The boat was of course seized. THE PRAFT. Ma. EDITOR: It was with extreme mor tification that I read in the Dispatch col umns on Monday morning, a notice headed, "Birminghaft," that a meeting had been held on the 13th.of June, and the chairman was authorizato appoints committee of twelve—an Executive Com mittee to serve for the maiming year. I. would suppose that one occupying the position of United States Attorney would devote himself to the arduous duties of his office. But, what position is this parti san placing a portion of our fellow-citizens in? This—that party position is stronger than love for country. He who does at this time encourage political jealousies, by word or action, should lie universally condemned. We should know no party; and as the chair man (Mr. D. A.) is hale and hearty and a man of influence, I would suggest that he, with his committee, practice the drill of carrying a musket, as it will be much more serviceable during these war times than stooping from an U. S. official Ca pacity to persevere in political matters. AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, who is called a Republican when voting is to be done. Credit on Draft A Harrisburg correspondent says: "The great quesion now is, how will the Gover nor use the discretionary power vested in of accrediting to counties and por tions of 2ounties the number of men they may hrve already sent? An impression is gaining ground that he. will not do w illing in the matter, but let the draft go on with iut respect to the number already (limbed. There will certainly be great doli.•ulty in a,certaining accurately the number turned out by portions of court tics, because of the unsatisf to ory condi tion in which the records and rosters are found to be in regard to the exact nativity of nearly all of the old regiments and companies. The Governor has not yet publicly indicated the line of policy he intends to pursue. - The Orleans Princes The Paris correspondent of the New York Times writes that it is creeping out little by little, that the presence of the tkieaus Princes in the army of the Uni ted States was really a course ofestrange meat to the Erench government, and that the subject was regarded in Paris in a still more serious light than in the rnited States nr in England. In that view of the ease it was well, theretbre, that other causes intervened to call the Princes home.

But now those journals are heaping praises upon us in almost every number. Fur they rarely now men tion American affairs without . reviling Gen. Butler for giving up "modest women who happen to speak to a man whom they do not know to the lusts of his soldiers." This is about as true as that he quenched the sun in the Gulf of Mexico; but those who believe or profess to believe it, are placed in a most unexpected position by tin, event. For the testimony of every nr.n who has been in New Orleans since the issue of the order in question, foreign or native, rebel dr loyal, is that the city is a model of good order; and, in particu lar, that any woman can now walk from one end of it to another, day or night, not only without insult, but without annoy ance of any kind—which is a novel state of things for New Orleans. If Gen. Butler's order meant what our British friends in sist it meant, what testimony is this to the self-restraint and decorum of his troops. Of what other troops iu the world, regu lar or volunteer, could the same be said ? The secret of Garibaldes Ex pedition Unfolded. Letters received in Washington by per sons convected with the European leaders in Italy and Hungary give some new in formation on the subject of Garibaldi's expedition, which materially changes its character. According to these letters, the plan of the great Italian leader is not to strike a blow at Rome, a deed which, how ever successful, would still leave Italy shorn of her finest province, but to at tack Austria, which is the only foe of his country and her only oppressor. In con sequence, he is said to have had an under standing with Kossuth, who is going to move upon Hungary at the head of an army of Serbs and Montenegrins, whilst he (Garibaldi) will direct one of his corps up on some of the Austrian provinces on the border of the Adriatic, and the other in some other places still unknown. The object of this treble expedition is to con nect the cause of Italy, Hungary and the Danubian provinces into a great demon stration against Austria, to revolutionize all the dissatisfied provinces of that em yire, and to make it so busy at home that it will have no strength left to defend Ve uitia, which will then fall into Garibaldi',. hands. Once the Italians are master of that province, and of the whole navigation of the Adriatic, nothing can prevent Rome fr , :rn becoming the, seat of the govern leen) ; for Italy will then be one of the :,cruzigest nations of the continent, and perfectly capable to obtain by herself the Justice and the rights to which she is cer tainly entitled.

They can tell him, too, though they dare not publish the fact, of how certain Major-Generals have been surprised by the enemy in the East and %Vest, while they lay drunk in their tents, and how these men were complimented, instead of being cashiered, by the Com manding Generals, for fear that their val uable services would be lost to the army in the future.

A few were killed and wounded; all of our wounded and their own were taken off with them during the onset of the rebels. After the wagons had been fired they started back from the road to where General Milroy's trains lay, intend ing to pay their attentions to them, but were promptly met by a guard of about one hundred men: Capt. T. T. Lowry, and his clerk's of the Quartermaster's Department, secured the valuable papers and money belonging to the Government, and retired to a secluded place in the woods until the dash was over. The rebels are now but a few miles out of Warrenton. We have lost in the series of skirmishes during last week about 600 men. Warrenton was retaken by General McDowell on Saturday noon, with a small loss. On Saturday morning the rebels attempted to cross in strength on the rail road bridge on the Rappahannock. Gen. Rickets drew up his artillery and infantry, and opened fire on the rebels with twelve or fifteen pieces. Several hours afterward a second at- tempt was made by them to cross, when Ricketts' battery opened upon them with terrible slaughter. It is supposed that at least one thousand or fifteen hundred of ' the rebels were killed. No attempt was made by the rebels to move the dead bodies of their soldiers, but again and again they . made their charges over the bodies of their fallen comrades; and as repeatedly were they repulsed. After driving them back" they failed again to try it. The bridge mei destroyed. 1211:1:1 First fdilion. LATEST 'NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. The Attack on Sigel's Sup ply Train. BAUD FIGHTING WITH THE ENEMY. ATTACK ON FORT DONELSON Important from Kentucky. t • ADELPII lA, August 2B.—The spe cial co. respondence of the Inquirer, dated Manassas, August 2,lth, says: On Friday evening, about eight o'clock, as your cor respondent was in camp with the baggage and supply trains of Sigel's first army corps, south of Catlett's•Station, an alarm was given that the rebel cavalry had at tacked and taken the station, and were advancing upon us. 'The Purnell Legion formed quickly, and fought bravely, and although forced back by overwhelming numbers, stood their ground until resist ance was destruction. The Bucktails, under Colonel Kane, of your city, covered themselves with glory. 'Upon repairing to the station at daylight, we found that the railroad train from the Rappahannock reached there at ahem ri p. in., and was waiting for a train to come up from Alexandria. In about an hour a cry was heard from the Camp ahead of the train to fail in men, we are attacked. The rebel cavalry r,a,le Ur to the eligint and ordered the engineer to su crender.— Ile refused, and the chivalry tired several volleys at him. and at the same time tired into the rear of the train, which had at ;ached two passenger cars, and about fifty passengers in them. The whole train was instantly surrounded and all who dared to come out were surrounded and taken s-oner • the rebels dismounted, the engineer drew the valve, and some one seperated the train, leaving two car loads of sick at Warrenton. Just as the train started about thirty men of company B, Pueneil Legion of Baltimore, advanced to the rear of the train and poured a volley into the rebel cavalry, who had it surrounded. Tht, rebels tell bark in a perfect skedatbile, h ut i n a r 0 minutes rallied and charged most vign Inti.ly find took all the men prisoner:. The hospital at (7atlett's Sta tion was tacked, and all the sick taken South. The rebels then had their own way, and pillaged and plundered to their heart's dontent. Two sutler wagons were plunbered of such articles as the scamps wanted, and then burnt. The rebels remained ueur the station nearly five hours, doing as they pleased. A fearful thunder storm raged during the whole time of the attack. The lightning was almost blinding and the thunder most appallingly fearful. Rain fell in drench ing torrentt. While one of the rebel regiments WIIS at work immediately at the station, another dashed up on Gen. Pope's wagon train, half a mile further up the road. The train was guarded by about two hundred of the Pennsylvania Bucktails, under Col.

The rebels took some half do . r.en horses from 264:Dowell's train, and all his private stores, completely rum maging his mess chests and wagon. Another party had crossed the railroad, and gone down to Generals Ricketts' and King's supply trains, and headquarters of the wagoners. They gave a tremendous shout, and charged down int') the ravine. where General King's wagoners were upon the outside, guarded by the Wis consin troops, who drew up and fired into the rebel cavalry, killing two and taking two prisoners. Daring a skirmish of near ly an hour, an hour before daylight, a squadron of the brave Col. Allen's First Maine cavalry, charged up the railroad, and the rebels at once departed thence for Warrenton. A rebel Lieutenant, taken prisoner by the Wisconsin boys, t who killed six and wounded six, secured six horses and two dead rebels, I says that on Friday noon the rebel First Virginia, Col. O'Brien com mending, the Fifth Virginia, and Ninth Virginia Cavalry, under Col. W. H. F. Lee, ir., and Gen. Stuart, with about 1200 men, crossed the Rappahannock and came diruct to Warrenton. Here they took a few prisoners, and the terrible storm of Friday night coming up, they halted until 6 o'clock - , when they made a dash to the railroad. Stuart remained at Warrenton, with one squadron: he says he heard Jackson had gone ofF up the river, but had no infantry or artillery. He knows of no positions or numbers of the rebel army, but said they considered the taking of Washington as a sure thing in a short time. The rebels were very ferocious, and in all their charges shouted, yelled and swore "surrender or die." In the height of the panic this morning, we saw a num ber of stalwart negroes with muskess, side by side with the teamsters and soldiers. Our whole loss is about three hundred The New York Tribune's o ent, speaking of the attack Station, says: All the private letters of Gen. Pope, coplft of dispateir• and reports; memorandstrelating tO the campaign and to the army; copies of tele grams sent, all dispatches received from the President. Ilalleck and the War De partment; orders to Generals of Corps and Divisions, all maps and topographield. charts containing intbrmation of the great ea value; in a word, the whole history and plan of the campaign. the numbers and disposition of troops, all are revealed to the enemy by this disaster. Its serious ness can hardly be estimated—it is taking the rebel Generals into the confidence of Ilalleek, and may render it necessary to change the whole campaign. CINCINNATI, August 26. , --A special to to-day's Commercial, from the Chaplain of the 7 tst Ohio, and dated Fort Donel son on the 25th, says the rebels,under Col. Woodward, the same that took Clarks ville, Tennessee, made nn attack on Fort Donelson, and were repulsed, with a loss of thirty killed and wounded. Colonel Woodward's horse was killed under him, and his saddle and pistol are now in our possession. The rebels sent a flag of truce previous to the attack demanding a surrender of the Fort. The question was put to the officers, every man of whom voted "No." The enemy's force consisted of four hun dred and fifty ;nfantry. threehundred and thirty five cavalry, and two field pieces. The Fort was under command of Major Holt, with four companies of the Seventy first Ohio, col. Rodney, Mason's regi ment. • The Conintermar s Lexington dispatch says there is no occasion for alarm about Gen. .M.irgan's position at Cumberland Gan. courirr jut arrived reports no tear of starvation.
