A WAR OF EXTERMINATION.
The extraordinary exhibition of rebel
strength, both East and West, has evi
dently aroused -the most lethargic in the
North to a tolerably just conception of the
magnitude of the rebellion. Those to
whom we have all along looked for infor
mation upon this absorbing topic, now,
by their fear, demonstrate that they knew
nothing of the rebel resources. They
have told the country over and over again
that the "next battle" would certainly
prostrate the enemy, and that their power
would certainly be finally crushed at a
given period. We do not now allude to
these facts for any other purpose than to
admonish our readers against believing
any ..similar predictions hereafter. The
rebellion is only beginning to exhibit its
strength, and the people should know the
sacrifices which they must make iu order
to subdue it. Being lulled into a false
security, only to be startled from it by the '
booming of the enemy's cannon, is not
the way to resist and conquer the most
fierce, formidable and determined rebel
lion that ever spread desolation in its
train. Let us look around and see how
we stand
Within two weeks the rebels have ap
peared in almost every direction in the
South, and with tremendous numbers.
The State of Kentucky is not only almost
in the hands of the rebels, but the neigh
boring State of Ohio is threatened with
rebel invasion. Portions of Tennessee
have been recaptured by the enemy, and
Gov. Johnston is apprehensive of the fall
of Nashville. They hold the capital of
Kentucky; they have made rapid advances
towards Maryland and our national capi
tal, and now the Executive of our State is
apprehensive of its being in danger of sud
den invasion. These are not rumors, but
stubborn facts, and in order to be pre
pared to meet even worse, will require the
entire attention of us all. The rebels are
in numbers in every direction; they are
determined to assail us suddenly at every
available point, and we may look for ex
hibitions of terrible valor and desperation,
such as present despair and a hopeless fu
ture create.
On the Fourth of July last, at a meeting
of the rebel Cabinet, at which were pres
cut several of their leading Generals, the
future of their operations was discussed.
An offensive campaign was debated, and
was advocated by Lee, Johnston, and
Beauregard. Since then the leading
Southern papers, including those at Rich
mond and Charleston, (S. C.,) have been
vehement in their demands for the adop
tion of offensive measures. In order to be
able to do this, the Southern conscription
act is to be enlarged. The Richmond
Whig of the 23d of August, alluding to
this, and also to President Lincoln's cal
for volunteers and militia, significantly re
marks
"Of the 600,000 new Yankee levies, not
one from East of the Ohio knows how to
fire a gun or ride a horse, and six or eight
months will be necessary for them to learn
these indispensible qualifications for war.
In the meantime they will be food for pan
ics. Every Southern man and boy can
ride and shoot, and have only to learn one
or two words of command and a few sim
ple movements to be as good soldiers as
twenty years drilling could make them.
"This superiority of our population was
strangely overlooked last year, when we
suffered the finest army ever assembled to
rot at Manassas, and gave the enemy time
to drill their new levies. If we pursue the
same policy again we shall again suffer.
But if Congress will extend the conscrip
ion so as to embrace all between eighteen
and forty-five, and if the war is then push
ed at once, and' into the enemy's country,
the new levies of the Yankees will avail
them nothing; but on the contrary, being'
little better than a rabble route, will prove
an invaluable aid to our advancing col-1
amns.
"The City of Washington must be anni
hilated. There can be no peace until that
nest of Yankees and traitors is extermina
ted. It is a bar to an satisfactory inter
vention by foreign Powers; and would
forever constitute a bone of contention inl
the event of a temporary adjustment.—
The fate of Carthage must be that of
Washington. - Let 'Stonewall" have one
lick at it, and we shalLhave no more trou
ble from that quarter."
This extract from the Whig, together
with what we already know by rebel de
monstration, show no very clearly what
-we are to expect, unless prepared and
determined to resist and repel invasion.—
Should the rebels cut their way into Mary
land and cross over into the Southern
counties of our State, they, would spread
blight and desolation over the fairest portion
dont. State." The Cumberland valley,the
garden. of the Commonwealth, would soon
be made to resemble the desolated fields
of Eastern Virginia. Should they sue•
ceed in their programme of invading our
State, fixing themselves in Maryland,
what is to prevent them, in their fury,
from running up to Harrisburg, from thence
to Philadelphia, or out here to Pittsburgh?
If they have determined to risk a war of
invasion, it is not for the purpose of quietly
Occupying some snug locality to rest in ;
no, it is for the purpose of inflicting all
the.damage they can upon us, in the most
effective way; and in the shortest possible
time. The rebels have announced their
determination to level Washington ; if
successful in that, will they not extend
their:Vandalism to other clues, the des
truction of which would afflict us so much
more.
The reader may imagine that we are
alarmed, taking counsel from our fears.
We confess to being alarmed for the ex
istence of our government, because the
enemy is making demonstrations which
no one but themselves were aware of. We
see them beginning an offensive campaign,
which threatens disaster and which one sick
ens at contemplating; and on the other
hand we see our own leaders so oppressed
with the rebels' power as to be seriously
contemplating a war whose duration is
indefinite, and which must result only in
absolute "extermination." We have quo
ted an extract from the Richmond Whig,
of the 23d of August, suggesting what the
rebels have already commenced ; now
read the following, from Forney, who is
deep in the counsels of those on our side
having the exclusive control of the war:
"As I have said, our policy hereafter
must be a policy of concentration and
power. It is not so much that we occupy
towns and strongholds—we must annihi
late the rebel army, and utterly destroy
every source of its. strength or perpetuity.
Richmond is nothing to us in comparison.
Norfolk and Nashville are mere collec
tions of houses, which have no advan
tages beyond a collection of houses in
Massachusetts or Missouri. In taking
Richmond we must utterly destroy the
rebel force—and then Richmond is taken.
Let us adopt the Roman sentiment—
"where there is solitude there is peace''
—let us make our war a war of destruction
and extermination. Placing the Republic
above all other things perish that it may
be preserved. Let there be flame and
bloodshed, and barren lands, villages des
olated, and every evidence of prosper
ity destroyed; let every negro be emanci
pated; let the whole South be a desert,
but let the Republic be preserved."
From what we have presented the reader
must prepare for either a sudden crushing
of the rebellion, or a war of lasting and
terrible duration. "Fight it out — is the cry
upon both sides, the spirit of each party
increasing with each new and bloody en
gagement. Custom has used us to the
sight of carnage and blood. so that war
has comparatively lost its terrors. We
are almost schooled for a war of endless
duration, and, in another year. we shall
exult. in carnage and blood. The aveng
ing angel has visited us for some great
transgression and we must accept the
scourge. If the rebellion be a necessity
then let us meet it as such, and leave con
sequences where we can not prevent them
from being impartially exa tuitted and ad
'usted
DEATH OF GEN. STEVENS
General Isaac J. Stevens, who was kil
led on the 2d, gallantly leading his com
mand, was born in North Andover, .la,-
sachusetts, in 1818: graduated at the West
Point Military Academy in 1839, and en
tered the corps of engineers, in which
service he continued until 1853 : when he
was appointed Governor and Superintend
ent of Indian Affairs for the Territory of
Washington. This ollice he resigned in
1857, having previously been elected a
Delegate to Congress, from Washington
Territory. As an officer of the army, he
was at the siege of Vera Crnz, under Gen•
oral Scott; fought in several subsequent
battles ; was severely wounded in the
final assault upon the City of Mexico, and
was twice bre% etted for gallant services.
He also served for a tune as an assistant
in the Coast Survey Office in Washington
City. When Governor of Washington
Territory, he traveled through its whole
extent, and as Commissioner made many
treaties with the Indian tribes.

Washington, Sept . 2 I st;2. J
By direction of the President Major Gen
eral McClellan will have command of the
fortifications of Washington, and of all
the troops for the defense of the caprtal.
By order of the Secretary of War.
E. D. TowssExn, A. A. General.
INTERPRETATION OF THE AROVE ORDER
The following despatch from a leading
official in Washington was received in New
York, and gives a clear intrepertation of
the above order:—
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. 1862:
General McClellan has certainly hew
placed in command of the Army of Vir
giuia defending the capital, and is, there
lore, chief in command here, under Gen
eral Halleck.
i With the Army of Virginia within range,
if not inside, the fortifications of Washing•
ton City, we presume Gen. McClellan will
again SISSUMIII command under General
Halleck. We are now in the greatest
peril, demanding the mighty resources of
he Northern States, the efforts and mon
ey of all men without regard to: age. We
hold our breath, waiting for the news,
which a few days must determine the fall
of Washington, or the onward march of
our armies upon a retreating foe. We
have not a doubt as to the result, with
Gen. Halleck in the saddle, his grand army
concentrated, and his able Generals recog
nizing a common authority, there can be
but one result. McClellan and his devo
ted men will be to him a tower of strength.
Give him, as he deserves, a post of hon
or, and in God's name conquer, as."con
quer we must."

Letter from "Cuseewago
WestitNoroN, September 2,1862.
Mn. EDITOR :—When I writoyou last
week, my friend Barbour and yoir thimble
servant expected confidently to'get to our
respective places within the next forty
eight hours. Owing to the fact, however,
that it was impossible to learn certainly
where our portion of the army -was loca
ted, and that the rebels had made a raid
on the Alexandria and Orange Railroad,
interfering decidedly with the transporta
tion of men and munitions, we are still
here, but fondly cherish the hope that we
will be able to join our friends in arms, at
or near Centreville, to-morrow. There
has been, and still will be, hot work going
on there or thereabouts, and, like John
Gilpin, when the next race comes off I
want to be there to see. Of courre- you
have received general information, by tel
egraph, of the fi ghting which took place
in the neighborhood of Manassas and Cen
treville, last week, between the Union
forces and the rebels,
in command of the
übiquitous Stonewall Jackson. Hence it
is not necessary for me to speak of gener
alities here. My object is to give you
some items of local interest. The lighting
or skirmishing commenced on Tuesday
evening, but the hard work did not corn
mence until Thursday, and the severest
battle was on Friday. The sixty-second
regiment has suffered, I am informed,
considerably, but I am unable to learn
particulars. As soon as it is possible to
obtain details the same shall be promptly
forwarded.
The following is a list of those known to
be killed and wounded in the t;3d regiment,
on Friday, the 29th ult., which I obtained
from Col. Hays himself:

Col. Hays and Major Kirkwood are now
lying, the former in No. 28 and the latter
in No. HO; Brown's Hotel, where they
are doing well and reeeiving from their
numerous friends that attention and kind
nursing which brave and gallant conduct
On the field of battle so eminently entitles
them to. The wounded of the 1;:;(1. given
nbove, are only those who were fortunate
'enough to have been brought in to the eity
with the Colonel. Ile estimates the entire
hiss in his regiment at one hundred and
fifty in killed and wounded. and while he
says the whole loss of the week was had
ebough, it was not anything like us fright
Gil as would appear front the accounts al
ready published in the New York and
Washington City papers. The course Of
Gen. McDowell is very severely criticised
by the soldiers who participated in the
recent battles. many 'of whom have
no hesitancy in saying. that he played
into the hands of the rebels, "dead on
purpose," as the boys used to say. (len
eral Sigel and other officers, who have
been intimately associated with him, are
now decidedly down on him, and have cut
his cotton most emphatically. It is said
that in the late raids the rebel guerrillas,
on being told it was General McDowell's
train, spared it altogether, while they
pitched Into Popo savagely. "Straws
show," &c.
From Lieut. )4. A. Craig, of Brookville,
(105th regiment,) who is now lying at
Brown's Hotel, severely wounded in the
wrist of the right arm, 1 learn that the
following casualties, among many others,
happened tO that regiment:
Sergeant Andrew Cochran, privat es Jun
Taylor and Animas Coup, of Co. Li, coui
inanded by Capt. S. A. Craig.
MEE=
Capt. C. A. Craig, commanding regi
ment, in foot or ankle, severely; Captain
John Hastings, A. in right leg, below the
knee, severely; Captain Robert Kirk, F.
struck by grapeshot in left shoulder, seri
ous but not dangerous; Captain Albert C.
• Thompson, K., in the right breast, danger.
ously ; Lieutenant S. A. Craig, 4, in right
arm, severely; Lieut. Neal, A, in right
leg, slightly.
The above lists are, of course, not Lull,
but can be relied upon as correct, as far as
they go. As soon as I Gan get up with our
corps &armee, I will make it my business
to hunt up all information which will in
terest your numerous readers.
Col. Rowley's regiment, with the ex
ception of Co. M, which was left to drill
new troops, arrived from Yorktown at
Alexandria on Sunday, and at once pro
ceeded to the seat of war. Major J no. W.
Patterson, who has been here for several
days, trying to find hip companions, re
ported to them hitst evening, sod will take
his place on tbe field to-morrow. He is
recovering rapidly from the effects of the
wound he received through the lungs at
Fair Oaks, and appears anxious to have
another pop at the rebels.
James Franklin, who went out with
Capt. Glass, in Sickle? brigade, and I
think lived in the Sixth Ward, was shot in
the right leg in the battle of Friday, and
had to have it amputated below the knee.
He fought bravely, and bore his sufferings
like g hero .
The excitement here just now is most
intense, and all sorts of wild rumors are
flying about. It would be an easy task
to fill a column of your paper with these
sensation stories, but I prefer to deal in
lilain facts, which are stubborn things and
generally bad enough. All the carriages
which usually stand about the hotels, as
well as the omnibuses, have been impress
ed into the service of the Government and
are constantly arriving from the battle
field loaded with wounded. All has been
quiet since Sunday morning, but the
slaughter on both sides ,
_ for the five days
previous to that time, has, judging from
the best infcrination, been immense.
Quite a delegation of 'physicians from
Pittsburgh have arrived here within the
past two days, nearly all of whom com
plain, of the shabby manner in which they
hav6 beep treated by the boss butchers.

String; Them Up.
The Savannah News comments as fol
lows on the rumor that Gen. MeCook's
soldiers had killed seventeen partisan ran
gers to avenge his murder :
"If 'it is said' does nut lie, this will
prove the worst day's work 'his soldiers'
ever performed, as our scouts will string
them up like Weathersiield onions in re:
taliation for the outrage. When Billy
Bowlegs was informed that Gen. Harney
was coming after him, and that Harney
would hang him when taken, Billy is said
coolly to have replied: 'Em'emid Harney
catch, Billy hang—Billy catch, Harney
hang !' Our we- is coming to that very
fast. It is a game at which two can play.
and in which we have not: only equal op•
portunity, but certainly all the right on
our side. The sooner it is understood
that the rules of Christian warfare are to be
utterly disregarded the better for us. We
should have commenced hanging thieves,
insurrectionists and murderers long ago."

lately from Galveston and Houston l can
explain the probable cause of the report.
In A pril last he was very ill from a cold ;
the steamer Diana, running from Galves

day brought the report of his death to
Houston. The Hags both in Houston and
Galveston were at half-mast, and his obit
uary appeared in the papers. The return
trip of the bout brought a contradiction
of the report, however, and I have seen
him in Houston several times since.
BALTiount, Sept. 2.—A gentleman in
Baltimore today received a letter dated
Aug. 17th, from Baton Rouge via New

Breckinridge was approaching the place
with a large rebel army. He sent a flag

GEN. MCCLELLAN.
The New York Ir.rld of IVvin,sdaLy
alluding to the Al (aim' attacks upot
\l. Clcllnn. retnarlt: :
•' The absurd and cruel rumors which
have been hatched by the teeming nualig;•
city of the radicals, and scattered all over
the country by telegraph within the last
three days, meet a signal contradiction in
the order of the President, dated yester
day. The enemies of Gen. WClelian set
afloat confident staienienti that he httd
disobeyed orders, had caused the defeat of
Saturday by his neglect to forward rein•
toreements, and tongues were found to
utter and pens to write against him the
accusation of treason. In the face of
these malicious and shocking charges,
President Lincoln immediately issues an
order investing Gen. McClellan with the
command of the fortifications of Washing
t• n !flu' of all the troops for the defense of
the capital. lia4 the President comtuit•
ted the defense of• the national capital to a
freshly detected traitor? Mr. Lincoln
knows the charge to be as atrociously ma
lignant and base as it is utterly false. It
is a characteristic illuscration of the un
scrupulous and groundless detraction with
which Gen. McClellan has been pursued
by his persecutors front the beginning,
Though they have never before aimed
quite so murderous a blow at his reputa
tion, these assassins of character have made
constant thrusts with weapons poisoned by
falsehood and venom, taxing their inge
nuity to invent all sorts of fictitious anec
dotes and absurd statements to bring him
into contempt and derision. His abilities
as a General are a fair subject for public
criticism, but there can be no palliation
for the cruel and malignant assaults upot
his patriotism.
Some of Gen. Dumont's Doings.
(lee Dumont, who is in command at.
Lebanon, Kentucky, sent out a citizen
scout, or spy, to look after Morgan and
his band of marauders. He proceeded to
a town that he supposed to be in our pos
session, but on arriving there, lo and be
hoid, he found himself in the midst of
the enemy. Morgan seizedhim, and find
ing out his name from some one who knew
him, immediately telegraphed to Dumont
in the name of the Federal Provost Mar
shal thus.—"A. B. has arrived safely.—
He represents himself to be your spy. If
so, I can communicate to him important
information.' Dumont, thinking there
might be a cat in the meal tub, replied:—
"I have sent out no such spy. He is
probably a spy of Morgan's. Send him
to me under a strong guard and I will give
him the benefit of a drum-head court-mar
tial.
This satisfied Morgan, and convinced
hint that his suspicions were groundless,
and that the man was not a spy. He
turned him loose, and the lucky fellow
lost no time in getting back to Dumont's
camp with a full report of all he had seen
and heard. That was the time Morgan
made nothing by catching our spy an
using the telegraph.

It is further recommended, that in order
