The arrest of Mr. Charles Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, fur words spoken at a Dem ocratic meeting in that city, on Saturday evening last, will attract more attention than any similar proceeding since the free • dom of speech and of the press has been suspended. The prisoner is no small fry, but a'prominent citizen of Pennsylvania, the descendant of patriots anti statesmen. If such a man be guilty of an offense against the government, he should be made-an example of, hut if his arrest was caused by malice, it will have a very bad effect upon the thousands in Philadelphia who Partook of the sentiments . of Mr. ___ Ingersoll. We read Mr. Ingersoll's re marks at the Democratic meeting alluded to and with our limited scrutiny coul' per ceive no treason in them. We now have before us the Philadelphia Press, contain ing what it styles "a complete and accu rate repork of the speech complained of." The Press, in publishing this address, italicises the most significant portions of it, the following bein 4 . the precise sen tences which caused the speaker's arrest : "T say further, fellow-citizens, that a more corrupt Government than that which now governs us never was in the United States, and has been seldom. seen in any European part of the world. it is neces sary to go to the older regions of Asia to find as much corrup'ion as exists in this' Government of Mr. Lincoln." A Mr. Edward Willard, upon whose affidavit Mr. Ingersoll was arrested, testi fies that he heard the speaker say that "The despotism of the Old World ran furnish no parallel to the corruptions of the administration of Abraham Lincoln." Here, then, we have the charges against Mr. Ingersoll furnished by a most bitter personal opponent—the editor of the Press—and another willing witness, who volunteers an affidavit for his arrest ; and, without endorsing in full the exact lan• guage used by Mr. Ingersoll, we desire the reader to discover, if he can, where the alleged treason to the government is to be found. The right to discuss the affairs of the nation is not confined ex clusively to Abolition and Republican • politicians. Mr. Ingersoll, in the remarks for which he has been arrested, merely as serted what Republican committees have proved. Is there any government on earth which, in time of crushing and sat pendous war, ever exhibited so much cor ruption, in the same time, as the luvesti g ding Committee, last winter, in Con press, proved upon its own members? If there be, it has escaped our recollection. Look at the ease of Senator Simmons, an old man, who had held - a - seat in that once lofty arena, the Senate of the United States for a quarter of a century— the compeer of such patriots as Web ter, Clay, Benton and • Wright—even he, who was considered above sus picion, could not resist the temptation of gorging offof the very . agony o f his country. What is more striking still, in this connec tion, is the failure of the Senate to inves tigate his case for fear of the investigation being extended to quite a number of his '• colleagues. And Mr. Ingersoll, for al luding to these notorious facts, is arrested on a charge of disloyalty. Who is the more disloyal, the private citizen who has the virtue and courage to denounce these corruptions, or the bloated and pampered members of Congress? The reader can readily decide. But granting that Mr. Ingersoll's offense justified arrest, why is Jno. P. Hale. Wen dell Phillips and Greeley allowed to go free' The former of these gentlemen six months ago, l i p the United States Senate, alluded most positively to the increasing corrup tions of the government, and warned his party of its certain overthrow if they did not resist them. They didn't resist them, and the prospect of their overthrow has rendered them desperate; Mr. Ingersoll's allusion to these facts constitutes his of fense. Gen. Wilcox, lately returned from a Virginia prison, in a pablic speech, in Washington, styled the war a "brainless undertaking, conducted by contractors," and the multitude applaud, but no one is arrested. This was in Washington, under the very eye of the government. Mr. Ingersoll's offense is not so flagrant as that of Wilcox, yet the first is arrested, and the other invited to dine with the President. Wendell Phillips traverses the country denouncing the govern ment from fifty rostrums, and when he Winds up his tour iu the Smith sonian Institute, in Washington, the Senate of the United States suspends business upon his entrance to it, and the Vice President descends from his seat to give him welcome, Horace Greely ad dresses an insolent and lying epistle to the President, whom he charges with serious violations of duty in his great office, but instead of Provost Marshals beim( instruct ed to arrest him, he receives, almost by return mail, a polite answer to his accuse' Cons over the proper name of Abraham Lincoln. These extraordinary proceedings are having their effect ; they must have an effect. Their glaring inconsistenci es cat, not be obscured nor hidden by the noisy professions of loyalty and patriotism of those who applaud and justify them. The New York World, an able and dignified Republican paper, alluding to these un precedented proceedings, pointedly re marks as follows: "It is an extraordinary spectacle which we have witnessed for the last year—a free people, the freest ou earth, tenacious of their rights, imperious for the largest liberty, quietly submitting to the suspen .eiou of their rights and liberties, to a re stricted freedom of the press, the suspen sion of the writ of habeas corpus, impris onments without trial, liberations without reparation. -/ we l'resideut of the United States and his advisers will terribly mistake the tem• pelb of the American people, t e secret * PROM WASHINGTON. of their submission, of their (lemand for, The correspondent of the Chicago these stretches of executive power, it they presume or act upon the presumption Times, at Washington, disgusted with the that they will tolerate them fur any other condition of things generally, turns in and end whatever than the suppression of the burlesques them as follows : rebellion.'' MR. DA-WS:IAN'S SPEECH We direct the reader's attention to an able speech of the Hon. John I. Dawson to a mats meeting of the Democracy of Westmoreland county, published in this day's paper. The General's sentiments are those of a statesman, whose capacious mind comprehends the terrible condition of our distracted country. * The Pittsburgh qa - -;ette is not - ashamed to give as its principal reason for forcing a draft, that it wil! prove advan tageous to its party. We will not discuss this, but simply remark that tin state ot affairs can possibly arise to induce a gen uine Abolitionist, of the Gazelle stripe ; to enter the service. (:en. nossetiu told the country that there was not one of the whole set in the Western army, and we presume the Caine is pretty nearly true ot the balance of the army.- We are anxious for the draft, or for any other measure requisite to secure our country's success and peace, not for the miserable purpose of a petty partizan triumph. We arc tired of the sight of the maimed returned from war, because they aro maimed 5 we are tired of the continued necessity of more sacrifices of blood and treasure. To crush rebellion, and to render further sacrifices unnecessary, we are willing to forget party for the balance of our existence. The time for drafting has been ex tended to September I.lth and volunteors will be received for Illn niJ regiments up to that time and credited to the precincts sending them. There is time enough in Allegheny county to save ourselves from the draft, if the inclination exists. Thirty men front each election precinct iu the county would be sufficient. There arc several townships :7: thi> county which have neither given a man or a dollar in money to carry on the war--yet we see some brave fellows from these districts oc casionally vaporing about General Ciellan and the President and demanding a vigorous prosecution of the war, and wondering why everybody is not hanged who differs in opinion with them. l.et the wards, borough; and townships orqn pare votes and agree to send their quota to the old regiments at. once. WON'T BE DRAFTED. The Gazette is never anxious to stir up political strife. The editors are perfect lambs according to their own account, yet the Gazette of Wednesday styles Demo- . crats as "Butternuts," a term applied to rebels and traitors, told chuckles at the idea of a draft, as it will take "Butter nuts" and leave the Republicans al l i i nue to do the voting, and that there. are six Republicans to one De:nocrat in the ranks.

The return from captivity of the editors of the Patriot and Union, of llai•risburg. on Soturday evening last, War: made the occasion of a flattering ovation to those gentlemen. An immense concourse of citizens assembled at the depot to wel come them and, accompanied them to the residence of Col. McDowell', who, in obe dience to loud and trequont calls, ad dressed the assembly in the fldlowing terms: Friend, and Fellow-Citizens :—Ott the 6th day of August, at an hour's notice, we were marched from this city, under an es cort of gleaming bayonets to the, Railroad Depot, and front thence taken to Washing ton city, where we were imprisoned, with out a hearing, for sixteen days, for what reason I will not now state, as you all know it. Through the intercession of friends, and our own exertions, we se cured a hearing last evening at a o'clock, when, strange to say, we were confronted by no accuser, nor was there even a charge made against us. The pretext upon which we were arrested was most nionrint rily disposed of, and an honorable dis charge given us. [Applause.] Although mortifying as it was to leave home as we did, and unjust as the whole arrest was, this spontaneous welcome more than compensates for all we endured or theindignities we suffered. [Applause.] This is the proudest hour of my life, It proves that we have ..the endortiement of ourfellow-citizens. [Cheers and applause. ] It shows that they have a strong appreci ation of constitutional liberty, and are op posed to crushing out the freed 0111 of speech or muzzling the press. Destroy these inalienable rights, and the word lib erty becomes a hollow mockery—a sound ing brass and tinkling cyhabal, a rope of sand, a delusion and a lie. [Prolonged, applause and cheering.] We do nat knbw how our arrest origina ted, because no accuser had the temerity to face us. We claim to he loyal end law abiding citizens, and these is nothing up on the record to prove to the contrary. We have our own c.tpittions. and these, nil couflicting with laws in existence, w e will maintain at all hazards and on all uan shirts, regardless of the denunci:oi on s o f the cowardly traducers who stars_' the screen. We maintairt that we hat done our duty as loyal citizens, and the ev idence of this is in the absence of a charge or.eveu an accuser. Let us be true and loyal to Our country and our Governmeet, and we have nothing to fear. Our imprisonment has been an experiment, and I think, from this enthu siastic demonstration and the general feeling throughout the State, our ene mies, as well as our friends, must admit that it was a failure—that it not only has not resulted in any practical benefit to those who brought it about, but it has awa . kened a feeling that will beexpressed atthe ballot-box in October next. [Applause.] Gentlemen, for Myself, and in behalf of my companions, I return you my heart-felt and sincere thanks, and bid you good night. fApplause,and prolonged cheers for 51c.

A tie=.it•ra correspondent at Bridgeport. ifei as foilows:—A n incident while I was at Bridge rt. which esaibitd char:u•:crlst'ca:y our present :node of traosacting business, that I cannot forbear relating it. Captain Peter Simom,on is at Bridge } tor:, with his battery of nix .splendid brass ..mns: a battery which always does effi cicnt serwiee, and of which Indiana may well be proud. Simonson, always in for a fight, had been lying on his back for a month, at Bridgeport, eluding and fretting, and doing nothing, line day_the Captain rode down to 7..111. . C. micron's Fery, two or three miles below tridgeport, and just upon the other side of the Tenuessee he discovered a couple of ferry-boats and some Rebel pickets stationed there for the purpose of guard ing thorn. Taking his glass and examin ing matters more critically, he perceived behind some trees a number of lents. evi dently constituting a small encampment, and containing from one hundred to two hundred Rebels. Casting his eyes about, he immediately selected a good position I;tr one of his gulls, and putting spurs to his horse, started back to Bridgeport, in tending immediately to bring one of his brass bull-dogs and give the Rebels par ticular jessie, making no doubt that he could easily capture the two ferry-boats, which, of course, would be very valuable to us. on his way back, however, it occurred to him that he had as well mention the matter to Col. Harrison, of the Thirty ninth Indiana, who was in command of the post at Bridgeport. He did so, and Col. Harrison referred him to Gen. John son, of McCook's division. Gem John son considered the thing, thought it would work well, and said he would go up to Battle Creek, and the next day would bring down General McCook, who ought, of course, to be informed on the subject, and wonld, no doubt, be glad to see the tiring. To Battle Creek he went; and three days after, he and General M'Cook came down. After thoroughly consider. ing the matter, Gen. M'Cook decided that it would not do to open firewithout letting Gen. Buell know. He telegraphed to him, accordingly, atHuntaville, and went away. Four days after, Gen. Buell an swered that he thought the firing had bet ter not take place. It was just as well, for by that time boats, rebels and all had I disappeared. Roll fr,Xl' .ellerfor the Poor ofNashrille. [Prom the Nashrillo Union, August 20.1 The following order addressed by Gov ernor Johnson to a number of our wealthy disloyal citizens, requiring them to con•. tribute a specified sum to Judge Whit worth, of the Davidson county court, for the relief of a large number of destitute, families, who have been reduced to the most deplorable want, in consequence of this inhuman rebellion, will receive the hearty approbation of every humane per- 1 1 son. The justice as well as the humanity,' of the order will be apparent when we re- fleet that thesufferings of our poor people, whu would gladly work for a living, if the disasters of civil war had not thrown them out of employment, are directly chargea ble to the influence of such persons as whose names are appended in the list be low. Some of these men have given immense sums of money to the rebel cause: others have exerted +heir influence to seduce the heads of families into the rebel ranks, whose wives and children are now starving at home; and others haveused all the power they possessed to bring the regular authorities into odittin and con tempt, and to excite .a morbid sympathy fir rebels and law-breakers. The levy made upon these citizens, therefore, for the benefit of their victims, is just as well philanthropic justice as well as charity approves and sanctions the deed as righte• ous. These men are all wealihy, abundant ly able to give five or ten times the amount of their assessment, to the ragged and famished sufferers, whose cries of anguish pierce our ears daily. One of these gave 8'25,000W the Confederacy not lotig since. The sum assessed is placed opposite the name of the individual to whom the follow. ing uote‘was addressed : WAS II N GTON, August 21. "For a few days vast it seemed as if the old formulas "All quit on the Potomac—e. on the Chickahominy—ou Jrmes River," were about to become applicable on the Rapidan. "All quiet on the Rapidan"; bounds well; and, had it not been for the; unquiet devil which inhabits Stanewall Jaeicson, it would:have prabably come into general use for the next month or two.—i Jaekson, with a reprehenstble disregard; of proprieties, has been indulging in some! of , his feints, or mysterious harlequin! changes, whereby our forces have found necessary to fall back, which they did in "good order," and took up a"new base," winning of course a great bloodless victo ry. and making the most •Mlasterly re treat on record.'' Pope's ex•cathedra bull, concerning his habit of seeing the backs of his enemy, and his habit of not talking about bases of operation, does not seem to work. It don't seem to frighten the rebels as it properly should do, which I can only account for on the grounds that the ignorance of the chivalry has prevented their reading it. Like Phelps . ' celebrated pronunciamen(o, it should have been sent among the Con federates accompanied bran interpreter. Had they been informed that it was the "habit" of Gen. Pope to inspect that po sition of the enemy which includes their backbone, heels, .Le., they would un dubted have been accommodating enough to have given him dissolving and posterior views of their forces. The latest arrivals from •the Army of Virginia bring the information that Pope has fitllen back from ten to twenty-two miles; that lie hasn't taken Gordonsville; and that he has violated two of his habits —that of always seeing the backs of the enemy, and never taking up new lines of operations to the rear. As a matter of course,, strategy is at the base of the move . . ment,.anu is but the immediate prelude to sonic brilliant operation against the ' enemy. Asa man, in leaping over a fence, runs some distance to give himself ha petits. so has done the Army of Virginia; they have fallen back a score of miles in order to give themselves space for a run its their contemplated bound over the Rapidan. The intelligence from all quarters it equally encouraging, it not more so. As a stragelic inurement, we are allowing the enemy to retake. Clarksville and threaten Forts Donelson and Henry; by another "plaited). — operation (the object of which cannot yet be made public, I we nave al lowed them to isolate Buell, surround Morgan, break up the railroad connection between Louisville and Nashville, and threaten Cumberland Gap; in short, by a sublime combination of strategic and other plane, we are in full retreat everywhere, with the enemy close on our heels. If it were not developing strategical secrets, I would hint that the object of the late move ments is a profound one—being no less than to retreat into Upper Canada, there assume a permanent base of operations, and hold it until the warm-blooded rebels freezeout. It is simply retaliation.

ANDREW JOHNSON, Military Governor. Dr. Brownson with the President. Dr. 0. A. Brownson, the eminent Cath olic, and editor of Browason's Revelw had an interesting conference with the President on Saturday. The question of Emancipation and Colonization were dis cussed at length. Dr. Brownson agreed 1 with the Presid nt on the subject of Col onization, but urged Emancipation as a means of savin the country, and as a step which must be taken before Coloniza tion on a large s ale could become practi ble. The talk of the President was in a hope ful strain. He said that he was not fully persuaded that it was yet time to proclaim F.lmaneipation, but Dr. Brownson infers from the tenor of his remarks, that if the next battle in Virginia results in a decided victory for our arms, a proclam ation emancipating the slaves of Rebels in North Carolina, South Carolina, Flori da, Geogia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi ana, Texas, and Arkansas, will be forth with issued. As he was leaving the room Dr. Brown son asked the President if he could give him any definite expression of opinion in regard to the time when Emancipation would be proclaimed, upon which the President took up a newspaper and read from it his letter to Mr. Greeley. : On Wednesday.

MILITIA, Harrisburg, Aug. 27, 1852. General Order 32.-I'he time for making the draft in this State has been postponed till September 15th, 1852, until which time volunteers will be received for the regiments in active service before the last call for troops was made by the Presi dent, and will be credited to the township, borough or precinct where they reside. By order of A. G. Cri:TIN, Governor A. L. llyssEt.h, ALlyt. Gen. ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 26.—From passen gers arriving here to-day it is ascertained that on Saturday the rebels commenced operations, with a will, using their artil lery, at Rappahannock Station. It soon became evident that this position would have to be abandoned,and about it o'clock the bridge crossing the rive.- was burned and the abutments blown up. Orders were also received to remove our stores and burn the houses at Rappahannock Station, which was accomplished. We sustained no casualties on our :Ade. Everything was quiet at Warrenton and Warrenton J 3nction, both on Sunday and yesterday. The latter place is nine miles from the former. Our troops are rapidly getting into po sition, and everything gues on well. This part of the Rappahannock is now entirely clear of rebel forces, or was at last accounts. There is no definite information as to the accurate position or numbers of the enemy. It was currently. reported in War renton, however, that the rebels were fall ing back beyond the Rappahannock to ' wards Culpepper. Gen. Sigel captured a large number of prisoners on Tkursday, but the most of them afterwards managed to escape, owing to an advance of rebel reinforcements far superior to the number of nor own troops. and the want of a sufficient nunrber -of soldiers to hold them. Same prisoners, however, were brought to &alum Station and will be sent to Washington. SANDY HOOK. Au g. 27, 10 A. M.—The steamship Persia is now passing this point. fler advices are two days later than be fore received. The news relating to Garibaldi is very vague and contradictory. No collision is yet reprted. The fete day of Napoleon passed by without anything of political significance being uttered in his imperial speech. The Army and Navy Gazette regards the military prospects of the South as less hepeful, anti thinks they should be [oak ing offensive demonstrations before the new Northern levies are raised. The New York correspondent of the Times charges the North with loss of en- Olusi“sol. and says that if some signal humiliation befell Meffh.lh th o r P o p e t h e independen c e of the South would be se cured.

It is denied that the Tuscarora let Kingstown by the Government orders. 1.1 is rumored that she received a telegram from Liverpool that the steamer "290 was in the channel, and hence her de ,trture. She was expected backat Kings. The London Times continues to give a gloomy picture of American affairs, and says there is no likelihood of a termina tion of the war by ordinary courses, the only chance of peace being a sudden and unexpected interference of common sense. The Morning Post regards drafting as an issue in which failure would be ruin, cer tain and definite. The Daily News ;Weeks Earl RusselPs response to Mr. Seward as inconsistent with dignity and self-respect. It argues that atter Mr. Roebuck's unparralleled insult to the Northerners, before the Prime Minister, at Sheffield, the less said about hostile demonstrations the better. The Times has an editorial combatting and denying all Mr, Seward's premises in his last despatch to Mr. Adams. It pro claims that England is no obstacle in the the way of pence. The true obstacle is to be found in those who stimulate the pas sions they ought to allay, and urge on with all their might the catastrophe which they clearly foresee and are yet able to prevent. Memmits, August 26.—The Grenada Appeal, of the 21st, says that the British steamer Racer touched at Charleston on the 20th, bearing dispatch for foreign Consuls, and from thence sailed South ward. A fierce quarrel is going on between General Bragg and the Mobile and Vicks burg papers. There was a long corres pondence between Gen. Bragg and the editors and publishers. A matmfiletory for Cult's revolvers has just been started near Macon, Ga. The Vicksburg Whig says the Federal gunboats had taken away six unmounted heavy guns from Maque's Bluff, Yazoo river. tumors from secession sources say the gunboats also captured a steamer laden with' 5,000 stand of arms, near 3 1illiken's Bend. The arms were destined for Hind man, at Little Rock. • Cute.too, Aug. 26.—The St. Paul Press, of the 24th, says: After careful consider lion of tue evidence accumulated so far, we are forced to the conviction that the influent of white men was at the bottom of the late massacre. For weeks Net white men. Missourians, have been among them. The facts that remote tribes like the Yanktans and Cut heads are moving in concert with the Sioux. that a large force attacked a fortified artillery post like Fort Ridgley, an attack without precedent in Indian history, and that of the Indians butchering missionaries who have spent their whole lives among them, and who in ordinary diturbancea would possess great influence over them, all seem to indicate some directing intelligence superior to that of the Indian, We are forced to the con clusion that this outbreak, at least in part, has been a concerted plan, its purposes being to embarass and - distract the general government, by alarming it for the safety of the frontier, and requiring the retention here of a large number of troops who might, otherwise, be differently engaged. dition.
