OUR :POLITICAL GENERALS.
From the day of the defeat of.the Poto
man army. under McDowell, two — years
ago, until Hooker's disaster_ at , Chancel-,
lorsville, the - Admiaistration endeavored
• to place the responsibility of failure upon
the officer in comitand. In some cases'
they compelled the commander to openly
assume .the' "responsibility of their own
- blu
_
nders. The Adininistration forced -
Gen. Scott to order the first advance to
_
wards •Bichmond, which resulted in oar
first Bull Run disaster, and then they
afterwards forced him to resign, because
they said he was too old and elovr for the
occasion": • They wanted a faster com
manderne who could march right on to
the immediate seizure of the rebel capital.
All of McClellan's - achievements fimm

ted to themselm;while - poor Burnside
Was indiced to sign' a paper taking all the,
blame;of the slaughter at Fredericksburg
upon himself. Hooker's defeat they never
acknowledged, until he 'was dismissed.
But while our political generals at
Washington,' are - experts "at • relieving
themselves from responsibility for defeats,
mark how clever They also are in appro
priatibgto theiriselres the fame ' arising
from importaettriumphs. The President
and Stanton and
the
have made'
, speeches, fromthe tone - of, which one
woildiriagias that . - the late engagement
at,Geftiablirg was a regular pitched battle,
`;*which they camixiandel the right, left
andientre: glace the Administration has
sounded its bugle in its own praise, the
pensionere upon it have joined in the
solo. The Philadelphia Ptess of Friday,
truatolts fealty aS a stipendiary of the
- Administration; in reply to Wendell Phil
lips' declaration that the Cabinet at Wash
ington has no brains, says ;
"A hundred reasons may bo given foi the vic
tory, of July. The fire* should certainly be the di
r4afing vnnd of the :Department of War—another
the courage of the Army of the Potomac and its
new commander. We mUht admit these ihings
without any particru'ar iliation of !mere. 'ay,
and it is difficult to see how we can resist this, ad
misston; bat to listen to the rhodomontade of
31r. Phillips and his followers. we should suppose
that the Department of War was the only obsta
c'e in the way of victory, and if the army had
never been troubled with generals and Cabinet,
it might have gone to Richmond in an accommo
dation train.°
Important victories, it will be seen, are
due to the direiting mind of the Depart
ment ef War,
_while overwhelming defeats
are the results of the Generals in com
mand. Nothing could be pleasanter for
Halleo'r and_ tanton than lucrative post
_
tions in the government, in which they
have no responsibility for disaster and l
take all the credit for success. Bat un
fortunately for these two mock-heroes
_who desire to dress themselves "in bor
rowed robes;" there is at least one living
witness to testify that the Administration
did not know where Gen. Meade was when
• thebattle A t Gettysburg began. The New
York Times, an Administration organ on
the first morning, of the great battle in
question remarked as follows :

In Saturday. morning's Dispatch and
Gazette, I notice the following article.
Important to Drafted Mon
The 101lOylng extract from paragraph
80 of the '4lE4;l:asthma for the government
Of the %win of: the Provost Marshal
General of the United States," is worthy
the attention of such of our fellow citizens
ea, may batte been, 'or may yet be, dratted,
and who may not be iiiclined to serve:
"A discharge item one draft furnishes
no exemption from any subsequent 4aft.
exeept_n the person drafted licis'fur
niehed an acceptable substitute, and has
received a certificate of discharge from a
preceding draft. He shall be held exempt
•frottFerilittur dutyduring the time for
which he had been drafted, and for which
such substitute was furnished."
From this it'will be perceived that the
simple payment of $3OO only exempts the
person for that particular draft, and leaves
him' liable to be drafted again, should a
larger number of men be needed; whereas,
if he procures an acceptable sustitute, he
is= exempt for the tall term of service
which such substitute isibound to render."
• I would not have noticed the subject
bikfromjhe fact that some of the tarries
epgaged in " furnishing substitutes" are
loud in - proclaiming the same opinion,
and are not scrupulous in demanding
caly amount however exhorbitant for sub
stitutes. I would ask you to publish the
first sentence of paragraph 80, which does,
in my opinion,
change the views above
expressed : "Certificates of exemption
from draft, by reason of having, provided
a atthstitate, or having paid commutation
-money, shall be furnished by the board of
enrollment according to form 31." The
question tarps upon the words Commuta
tion money, and in this relation I can
come to no other conclusion than that the
Mortal is a substitute for the man. The
words froth paragraph 80, as above refer•
red - to, allude,to the fifty-one (61) divisi
ons of physical debility as per paragraph
85, .and those drafted persons 'who are
,"discharged" after the required number
of able-bodied men shall have been ob
tained." Extract from- the "Aut of en
rolling and calling out the National forces,
ibeSection 13, are in the following words :
"And any person failing to report after
dtte service of notice as herein prescribed,
without furnishing-a substitute, or paying
the required sum therefor, shall be deem
ed a deserter.
Sec. 17." And be it further enacted,
That any person enrolled and drafted ac
cording to the provisions of this act, who
shall furnish an acceptable substitute, shall
thereupon receivd from the board of en•
rollment a certificate of discharge from
snob draft, which shall exempt him from
military duty during the time for which he
was dr9fted, &c." The point I wish to
impress let that the drafted person, who
pays the $BOO, is exempt from any draft
according to the present call, which is for
8 years from the time at which he is called
into service. R. D.
The Pending Battle —What Ought
It is evident that Lee and his army are
-not Xet finally disposed of. He is, like
a wounded lion, at bay in the vincinity of
Williamsport and Hagerstown. What
'ought to be done to "render assurance
doubly sure and to wake a bond of fate!"
The Governors of Penney!vania, New Jer
sey and New York ought to send General
Meade every available man at once, ELLA
the federal government at Washington
Ought to do the same thing. The retreat
of Lee into Virginia, in a direct line, is
intercepted by the rising of the Potomac.
A. great battle is impending, in which, if
the rebel general is defeated, he cannot
cro3l the adjoining fords, and his army
must be destroyed if enough force is
brought to bear upon him. If he is not
too much used up in the coming fight to
retreat at all, he may escape up the lett
bank of the Potomac and cross at Cum
berland. But that would give time to the
Union forces to cdt him off effectually
from Richmond and from every part of
the Southern Confederacy. This is the
time to strike home. If Lee escapes, it
is only because the federal government
and the governors of States shall not have
done their duty to the republic. By all
accounts his army is terribly crippled.—
To allow a crippled army to escape South
from Pennsylvania, with such numbers
of troops and means as our authorities
possess, would entail lasting disgrace
upon the country.
The capture of Richmond is of small
account compared with the capture of the
army of Lee. To capture Richmond
would probably have no more effect on the
rebellion than the capture of Nashville or
New Orleans. But to destroy Lee's army
would be to inflict the fatal blow from
which it could never recover.—N.

Gettysburg Correspondence.
CAMP OF THE 12TH ARMY CORPS,
G ETTYSEURO, Pa., July 5, 1863.
THE TWELFTH ARMY CORPS, UNDER SLOCUM,
occupied a meat important position on the
right flank of the line of battle, as origin
ally established pretione to ihelteriea of
battles resulting'in the glorious victory of
Gettysburg. The entire corps was 'On
cealed from view in the midst of a keavy
growth of timber: Along a ridge, which
traversed the whole length of -the forest
-from left to right, with occasional depres
sions, a leg breastwork was hastily erected,
which was heroically defended, 'and' re
mained in .rr possession,' though Ire;
anent's , charged 1:tyloil by the entire force
of Gen. Ewell.
G EN. EWELL' S FORGE
The divisions of Generals Johnson,
Rhodes and Early, comprising Ewell's
corps, numbered in the aggregate at least
0 5,000 men. Against these our corps,
numbering far less of effective -mien, fought
with unflinching and dauntless hmvery.—
The selection of our position within the
timber had been confided to Gen. Geary.
commanding the White Stat division, and
by him was soon
. placed in ia condition
which rendered it Impregnable. Repeat
edly, and with the most commendable
spirit of self-sacrifice, the Old Stonewall
Brigade charged up to our line, only to be
met by a leaden torrent which no troops
could withstand.
THE MEN OF THE TWELFTH CORPS,
formerly under General Banks, and the
reed foroes fornierly commanded by Oen.
Jackson, now Ewell's corps, bad before
this often met on sanguinary fields array
ed against each, other. They seemed to
have an intuitive perception that the strug
gle about to take place between them was
to be more desperate and decisive then any
which bai ever preceeded.
THE SLAUGHTER OP REBELS WAS FEARFUL,
and scores of them who escaped death
came voluntarily within our lines and gave
themselves up. In the action of the 3d
inst., the division of General Geary fought
for six and a half hours without interrup
tion. It captured three stands of colors,
five hundred prisoners, and about five
thousand stands of arms. After our men
had been engaged about four hours, and
were greatly exhausted, General Meade
was solicited for reinforcements. General
Shaler's brigade, of the Sixth corps, was
promptly sent to our assistance, and ren
dered efficient aid. -Over one thousand
dead rebels have been taken from the
ground in front of Geary's division. and
were buried along the banks of Rock
creek.
GENERAL GEARY
was highly complimented by Gene. Meade
and Slocum for the admirable manner he
fought his division. In fact every officer
and man of the Army of the, Potomac,
with few exceptions, seems to have enter
ed upon this campaign in Pennsylvania
with the heroic determination to wipe out
the rebel army or die in the attempt.—
Never men fought with more Coolness or
obstinacy. The vi--inity of Gettysburg
has been converted into a vast cemetery.
Pennsylvania is for the time free from the
armed invasion of traitors, and her people
can again return to their peaceful pursuits
without fear of molestation.
INTERESTING FROM THE LOU rff
Retaliatory Measures of the Rebels—
Captain Henry W. Sawyer, of the First
New Jersey Cavalry, and Captain John
Flinn, of the Fifty first Indiana, Con
demned to Death.
From the Richmond Dispatch, July 7•)
At the Libby prison yesterday, by order
of Gen. Winder, the captains among the
Yankee prisoners, numbering seventy,
four, drew lots for two to be shot in retalia
tion for the shooting of Captains Wm. F
Corbin and T. G. Magraw, by Gen. Barn-
side, at Sandusky, Ohio, on the 15th of
May last. The prisoners were assembled
in a room at 12 o'clock by Captain :'urncr,
the commandant of the prison, and after
being formed in a hollow square around a
table, were informed of the order of Gen,
Winder. A slip of paper, witSthe name
of each man written on it, and carefully
folded up, was then deposited in a box on
the table, and Captain Tamer informed
the men that they might select whom they
pleased to draw the names out, the first
two names drawn to indicate the men to
be shot.
Captain Sawyer, of the First New Jer
sey cavalry, suggested that ono of the
chaplains be appointed. Three of the
chaplains were called down from an pp
per room, and Rev, Mr. Brown accepting
the task, amide silence almost death-like,
the drawing commenced. The first name
taken out of the box was that of Cap_tain
Henry Washingten Sawyer, of the First
New Jersey cavalry, and the second that
of Captain John Flinn, of the Fifty first
Indiana. When the names were read out
Sawyer heard it with no apparent emotion,
remarking that some one had to be drawn,
and he could stand it as well as any one
else, Flinn was very white and much de
pressed. The prisoners were then dis
missed, and the condemned sent to Gen.
Winder' gl office.
Ou arriving there they were permitted to
write letters to their friends. •• Sawyer
wrote a letter home, and read it aloud to
the detective standing near. Upon com
ing to the last part of it, saying o "Fare•
well, my dear wife, farewell my children,
farewell mother," he begged those stand•
ing by lo•excuse hitt, and, tnrnidg aside,
burst into tears. Flinn said he had no
letters to write hbme - , and only wanted a
priest. Both men were returned to the.
Libby prison, and will' be kept in close
confinement until the day of their execti
tion , which is not yet fixed:. Sawyer is a
Pennsylvanian by birth, and Flinn is an
Irishman.
The Confederate officers shot by Burn•
side were executed for recruiting in. Ken
tacky, and that General, when appealed
to by the sister of one of theta to spare his
life, refused; with the brutal reply that he
"had quit handling the rebellion with
gloves.'
The Doomed
General Winder has allowed Henry W.
Sawyer, one of the Yankee captaina'selec
ted for execution,' in' retaliation for_ the
shooting of Captains Wm. F. Corbin and
T. J. McGraw, at ' Sandusky, Obio, by
Burnside's order, to send for his wife and
child, and a letter for that purpoBe went
by the flag of trace yesterday. It is hardly
probable that the day of execution will
fixed until after the, visit.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
July 11, 1868.
There has been no fighting to-day be.

Gen. - Meade's brces are in a position to
advance and give battle when the proper
time arrives.
BALTIMORE, July Il.—The American
has the following from BoonSboro‘dated
the 11th, a. m.: All is quiet ut the front
this forenoon.
Daring the last fight the rebels entirely
changed thet. lines, abandoning their po
sition at night from Fankstown and Ha
gerstown, and falling back to James' Col
lege, four miles from the river. There
does not Appear to be much prospect of a
general engagement to -day.
NEW YORK, July 11.—A special to the
Tribtine says that trustworthy information
indicates that tho rebels have a pontoon
bridge sent from Martinsburg.
Lee is now crossing his army at Falling
Waters.
We drove their pickets this morning to
St. Joseph's College, on the Downsville
road. We captured 1,000 prisoners,mostly
Georgians, yesterday.
Another special to the Tribune, dated
Boonsboro to day s says that this morning
at daylight the enemy abandoned the line
of the Antietam and retreated towards
Williamsport.
Thb rebel pickets are still on the Rogers
own road this side of Funlutown.
MeCoxssi.tsiturtu, July 11-10 P. M.—
A citizen of this place taken prisoner by
the rebels, succeeded in making his escape
through their lines this morning at Ha
gerstown; he arrived here this evening.—
file rebels were busily employed on their
fortifications, preparing to make a des
perate resistance. Their main line of
works is about a mile this side of Hagers
town. The battle is expected to morrow.
Richmond papers of a late date compli
ment Gen. Lee on his brilliant victories in
Pennsyivania,•and reports the progress of
affairs at Vicksburg, all they could desire.
CILSAIDERSBUTLO, July 11—Lee's army
which has been occupying a position around
Hagerstown for the past tqur days com
menced to move at 5 o'clock, Last evening.
At Hagerstown they divided, a portion
taking the road to Williamsport, and a
portion moved out on the national road
towards Clear Spring. What their iaten
fiat's are is not folly defined at this time.
That portion which took the Clear Spring
road may take an interior road in the di.
rection of Williamsport, 5 miles out. Sev
eral parties have arrived here who left
Hagerstown at ()o'clock this morning, and
all twee that there are no rebels in that
vicinity.
It is known that the Potomac is not
fordable, bat it is feared that Lee has de
vised some means of making his escape,
or he may be moving on Hancock, hoping
to gain sufficient time for the river to'fall
and thus avoid giving battle. .
Two hundred and ten rebel prisoners
left here to-day for Harrisburg.
General Dana arrived hero to-day, tor
the purpose of taking command of one of
the divisions under Gen. Conch. Couch's
headquarters are here, he will take com
mand of the troops in person.
He congratulated them that at last it
seemed as if the darkness WEIS over,
and they saw the promise of the dawn of
peace; - not such .a peace, he thanked
heaven, as Wood and Vallandigham beg
on banded knees from Jefferson Davis,
but each a one as Rosecrans was making
with Bragg, and Grailt. had won at Vicks
burg, and the grand, r brave:historic army
of the Potomac, had won at Gettysburg.
(Cheers.) The Republic thus crowned
with victory under the auspices of liberty,
might, if her sons were worthy, lead the
Nation to the heights of a better civiliza
tion. and call down upon her the very
benedictions of God, (Load cheering.) .
CHLBIBERSEME4G, July 11.—A large crowd
assembled last night at General Couch's
headquarters for the ptirpuee of paying
him their respec7s and hearing him speak,
which he declined to do.
Maj. McVeagh, the only member of
Gen. Couch's staff who came down with
him, was loudly called for; and being intro
duced by Col. McClure, said that be had
not strength to night to do more than
tp thank them for the compliment of their
presence, and to tell them of the 'hearty
sympathy of all the loyal men of the CoM.

might have been only a fitting punish.

nounced at any hour. The -general opin
ion here, both in the rebel. army and our
own, is that the rebellion in the West is
at an end, or at least reduced to insignifi-•
cant proportions.
WAslinforox, July 10.—Rumore are rife
here that Beauregard has passed -down the
Shenandoah Valley with 40,000 men, to
reinforce Lee.
A special to the New York Times, dated
Headquarters of the Army of the Poto
mac, Friday, July 10th, says:
A :rigorous artillery andcavalry . fight
took phiCe ttiff morning over the Antietam
creek. PreParatory to the great expected
couffict, the cavalry and artillery of Bu
ford, aided by Kilpatrick on the left flank
of the enemy, dislodged him last evening
from the village of Renvollo, on the road
from Roonsboro to Hagerstown, driving
him two ,miles towards Beaver Creek.
This morning sharp skirmishing' contin
ued with equal success, until ,t,he enemy
rested on a strong position near Punks
town. The artillery was then replaped by
fresh batteries.
Six P. 14.—The utmost activity now pre
vails in the army of the Potomac. 'A de•
serter who came into the lines leat night
reports that Lee has a single bridge across
the Potomac, near Williamsport, and has
succeeded in getting over ammunition
and supplies, although he could 'not
move his army over.with safety And ex
pedition.
The men in the rebel army have not
heard of the fall of Vicksburg. -
General Lee is evidently driven to the
wall, and will fight his men to the bitter
end
At ten o'clock this morning . the enemy
held the right of Hagerstown and our forces
the left. At twenty minutes after two
o'clock very rapid and heavy cannonading
opened upon the rebels, anlTebritiniied for
about an hour, resulting - only 'in driving
them from the woods. ;;
NEW YORK, July 11.—The Herald's
Washington dispatch rives the President's'
reply to the Louisiana planters, who peti
tioned for authority to ,elect, Federal. dad
State officers under the &alining Constitu
tion. The President dues not favor it, as
the respectable portion of the pepple
of Louisiana contemplate holding a con
vention to amend the Constitution. Also,
does not see how it could 'facilitatp our
military operations iu Louisiana,and might
be used to embarrass them. It conphides
by saying they shall not lack opportunity
for a fair election of Federal and Skate
officers.
The same correspondent says the
in of peace is already considered n the
Cabinet circles ? and we are in the midst
of a•Cabinet crisis growing,nut of a propo
sition by Seward for a Presidential, proc
lamation, offering an amnesty to the peo
ple of the South, suspending the liabilities
of the confiscation act, and offering a fall
pardon in person and property to the pen.
ple of the South, excepting the military
and civil leaders.
Mr. Seward suggests that they ehould
be allowed their property, brit be ineligi
ble to office. Bates and Blair favor the
proposition modified. Stanton and Chase
oppose it. The President has not expir
fled an opinion.
The same correspondent assumes to
know the object of the mission. He Says
it was the intention Of Davis to offer a
plan of peace, including the restoration ; of
the Union on the terras embraced in. Hunt ,
er's speech,' previous to the rebellion—in
fact, , aeparategovernmeete for the 'North=
and South, but only one President. This
was to take the negro out of the national
politics.
NEweEax N..C., July 10.—,The Legis
lature Of - Niirtliearblina, is now in extra
session on financial matters. The Raleigh,
N. C. Register, a rebel print, in reference
to this
~extra- session says, thers.ie mis
chief brewing which bodes no good tolhe
Confederate cause, and the history of that
Legislature does not warrant us in ex
citing anything but mischief at its hands.
The Register says that the Governor's
organ, the Raleigh Standard, is doing all
in its power to - incite the people_ to rebel

members of the 'Legislature from

The expedition WhiCh left on the night
of the 3d, returned on ,tha z inorning : ofr the

and Major Cole, with sixteen companies
of cavalry, proceeded on to Keriesville,
9 miles from Netvberti where he struck
the. Wilmington and.. Wes:ern - -Railroad,
which the cavalry destroyed- for a great
