J MR. Envroa : The iulerest which no doubt yon take in the welfare of Pennsyl vanians of the army in general, and par ticularly of the 62d Regiment Penna. Vole., hailing, as it does, from the "Iron City, " and having been organized under the auspices of the lamented Col. Black. induces me to drop you a few lines to say that the command still lives, and islocated for the present, in a beautiful district of country, wrist of Culpepper about two miles, enjoying the blessings of good health and spirits, and as anxious as of days of yore, to do battle for the preserva tion of the Union and to maintain the honor of the stars and stripes. The inci dents of the battle fields through which the regiment has passed, I have not time to enumerate, but permit me to say that its honor remains untarnished. and it is the determination of both office.ra and men that the cheeks of Western Pennsyl vania will never be suffused with shame on their account. Their devotion to their country may pass ae household words to generations to come, and their love for their old commander, General McClellan, will be added to that sublime category. White our army was encamped 0111 , the north bank of the Rappahannock river, a project was set on foot by our principal officers, to present our original corn mender, Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan, with some mark of respect, which was to assume the thane of a testimonial from the "Arm; of the Potomacr to its old corn =MEM mender, as a token of their regard for him, and a just appreciation of his supe rior m-rit and skill as a military officer. To this purpose the following circular came down through the regular military channels, and was announced to the offi cers and men of the different regiments : "Cracomem—lt hating teen proposed by many officers of this army to present to Major Gener al MCCLELLAN sonic mark of their respect:, which ehoulth erve as a memorial of the relations h have existed between them, it hoe been suggest ed that the privilege of joi-ing be extended to the wh, le army, as en evidence th..t the warm feeling Q hich he hne ever borne towards it, is fully nciptocated by b t a officers aim men, and in order that all mn; unite in this object, that it • ate the form o a Retimenial from the 'Army f the Potomac' to its cid commander. • - That all may oar to'ita.to i. is proposed that the subscription be limited as follow Rank and Fite. each Ten cents • • SergeaL ts.

The proposition met, as might well be expected, with the most cordial approval of all, and the rolls which accompanied the circular, and headed "Subscribers to the NlcCleltan Testimonial," were quickly filled with names—every one eager to con tribute his "dime"—and the papers for warded. Five hundred and seventy three officer-1 and men of the 62d P. V. re.- 6poncled with a will to this laudable enter prise. It was estimated thet this fund would amount to upwards of tio , ney thous anddollars ! But alas for the expecta Lions ct the soldier! We who have fought nobly for our country for more than two years—who have sacrificed the pleasing comforts of home and friends—endured the privations of the weary march, and the sufferings of the battle field for the love of our ci untry and our country's honor—are denied the rights of freemen in the exercise of our own judgment, and denounced as a set of l senseless fools, to be influenced and used I y New urk politicians ! Oar pro jdet bt came known to acme miserable worn-jut political flunkies, who immedi ately proclaimed that. the army of the Po tomac was about to prove themselves treacherous, and a '•scheme" was cc foot where,y reproach wou:d be cast upon the National Administration and thereby ruin the country The \A aallington Daily Morning Chron icle edited by tne meanest of all political hacics, devotes over a column to this sub ject, in which General McClellan receives the most unwarranted abuse. It coin [tattle, 3 by referring to the above circular and ells that it is anonymous, and "was circulated among the army, iu contempt of tho military authority by which that army is controlted." Not a word of this is true —it is ns save a fabrication as was ever coined. The paper came down through the regular military channels, and was endorsed by General Meade who bake I it up with twenty dollars from hie own pocket, and it also met the ber.r:y ap proval of all tf.e corps commanders in the army. Further, this unscrupulous editor goes cn to say "that this bold attempt to oeguile by clandestine means, the soldiers of the army of the Potomac into turning his kfleuerat McClellan's) disgrace into a censure upon the President and the high nutborities of the country, as well as to give him hereafter a political promi nence that shall make him capable of working greater mischief, constrains us to throw all other considerations aside, and send t o the gallant army of the Potomac, which we know will hear and heed oar warui. , g voice, an earnest caution not to be led into any each practical censure up on the Government, &c." All this is an• other unwarranted and groundless as sertion. In the first place the soldiers of the army of the Potomac were not influ enced, by clandestine means or any other, from any outsiders wha ever, but the pro ject, bold and all, as they take the liberty to style it, originated iu this army, by the officere and warmly approved and ap plauded by the men; itisnotintended, nor never was, as a reproach upon the Piesi dent mid the high I uthoritiee of the coun try, but was calculated purely, as the circu'ar declares, to be • a testamonial of oar high regard and esteem of our old commander, General McClellan. As to giving him hereafter a political prominence, me thing is simply ridiculou and the idea originated alone in the base, corrupt political brain of the editor of that tory sheet- if our action in this affair is calculated to give to General McClellan apolitical prominence, the Chronicle man may cave himself much trouble by never alluding to the subject again, because this warm attachment exists in the army of the Potomac for General McClellan, and whether we present him with a testimonial or not, we nevertheless appreciate and love him. He also sends to the army his. "earnest caution" and knows that his voice will be heard and heeded, Sze, It is heard and heeded thus far, that many are now refusing to read his paper, and I wouhknot be surprised if, ho rt time, the Daily Morning Chronic/4, will travel the same road as the New York Tribune. We dop't ask him for his advice ; we have minds of our own, and will exercise them, and we are not, nor can not be influenced by any such worn out political demagogues as the editor of that vile sheet or any of his ilk. We have been ordered by the powers that be, to take back the money that was freely rod honestly contributed to this laudible purpose, but the day is not far distant when we can give expression to our feelings, and ell the Forneys in Chris tendom cannot prevent us.

He was conveyed to his residence. and Dr. Ritchie called in. Yesterday he was doing well. I'ESSOR BI . NRS —lt may Lot be amiss to state that this gentleman, who address el the Democracy of East Birmingham on SAturday evening, and who is announced to speak in several other localities in this county, is the same gentleman who so ably and zealously advocated the claims of Bell a.id Everitt in Western Pennsylvania during the last Presidential campaign. The Professor is now, like the vast mejur• ty of that party, in favor of the election of Woodward and Lowrie, and the reetor a.i _a and maintenance of the Constitution ae was, and the Union ne it is.

WASHINGTON NEWS ITEMS &c., &c., &c , &c WASHINGTON CITY, Oetobc.r 3.—By the President of the United States of America —A Proclamation. —The year that is drawing towards its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget th source from which they come, others have been added which are of so extraordinary a nature that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible. To the ever watchful providence of Al mighty God. in the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to invite and pro voke the aggressions of foreigh states, peace has been preserved with all nations,. order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict, while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. The needful diversions of wealth and strength from the fields of peaceful indus try to the national defence have not ar rested the plow, the shuttle, or the ship. The axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of precious metals, have yield ed even more abundantly than heretofore. The population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle field. And the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect a continu ance of years with a large increase of free dom. No human counsel bath deserved, notwithstanding the mortal hand had worked out these great things, they are g-acious gifts of the most high God, who, while dealing with ns in anger for ..tur sine, hat h nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set. apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a day of thanksgiving and prayer to our benificent Father who doth reside in the heavens, and I recom mend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to him for such sin gelar deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our na tional perverseness and disobedience, commend to his tender care all these who have become widows, orphans or sufferers is the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty hand to preserve the health of the nation re.d to restore it as soon as may be coesis 'ent with the divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility aid union lii tesiiru ity tviiefecif, I have hereunto set rny hard and caused the scat cf the l'u.ted States to be affixed.

By the Preeident : ti".i U. SEWARD, Secretary of State I,outsv.LLE, October 4.—Capt. Samuel Black was placed under guard in hie own room, rind irlterdicted from any comma mcation with outsiders. A caisson attached to battery I, Ist N. V. artillery, guinz down Main street. near this forenoon, exploded a shell con tained therein, which instantly killed u eanncnier and wounded a driver who died in ten minutes ; mortally w, unded anoth annonier and badly wounded is third. The windows of stores on both sides of the street were smashed by the coo cossion. The Washington Press of to day. sue a terrible explosion occurred near Bridge port. A train c,f twenty army wagons ladet,ed with ammunition had camped near the city fir the Light. Two negroes guar relied, one of whom seized a shell which he accidentally let fall among the ammu nition causing it to explode and commu nicate to other ammunition immediately. Wagon after wagon caught fire, and the teamsters and attendants flying for their .iees: the mules had been removed before the explosion. Later reports says nine or ten were killed, and double that number wounded. The fire finally reached the magazine, exploding it and destroying a vast rpiantity of ammunition. A orcial dispatch to the Journal, from N.i.shv:lie the 3d, says McMinnville was rt.lhcked at noon. The result is unknown. Ihr lighting was progressing when tele graphic communication was interrupted. the rebel cavalry are reported crossing the Tennessee river at Washington. The cavalry from this post returned last even ing, with a rebel Captain, Lieutenant and thirteen paroled prisoners. Yew VCRs, Oct. 3 —Mexican dates of the 12th ult. confirm the fact that Doblado ha= been placed at the head of Juarez's cabinet. Durango had been attacked by 400 Mex ican Interventionists, who were repulsed. Gen Morga is Minister of -War, and Nunes of the Tfmeteury, under Juarez. In coiterquence of the American Cc nsnl at Mansaincte acceptirg en executor from Jo has, opoJEteu4 of; Juarez, he has been censured by the American Government, and Minister Corwin instructed to put an other person in his place. A rumor is prevalent that Minister Cor win has received his passports, but Mexi can papers do not allude to such a step. NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—The steamer Wash ington from New Orleans on the 26th ult., has arrived. The New Orleans papers contain nothing relative to army move merits. l'he steam tug Leviathan was captured at her wharf at South West Pass by a gang of rebels. Lt. Herrick in the steamer Crescent soon after started iu pursuit and joined the gunboat Desoto. They captured the pi rates after a few hour's chase The re ported capture by the rebels of the steam er t_alhoun, is untrue. But on the con trary. she has destroyed a rebel steamer near Pass Cogoda, and captured another, beside. severely punishing a rebel battery at Grant's Pass. FORTRESS MON - ROE, Oct. 3.—The United Statep a earner Ma,setehusetta arrived to de) frool Charleston bar. 1,;...4 Wednes day n;eht our works on Morris Island was progi,s..3ing rapidly. The rebel batteries shell our workmen constantly, but few casuait;es were reported. Gen. Gillmore occasionally shells Sumteeand Johnson, and keeps one Monitor to keep Fort Moultrie quiet. SAN FRANCISCO, October 2.—The war steamer Lancmter, the British steamer Sailer, and the Spanish steamer 'Resolu tion are in port. The balance of the Spanish fleet and the entire Russian Pa cific fleet are expected soon. The testi mony taken thus far in the trial of the privateers captured with the schooner Chapman show conclusively that they were provided with letters of marque signed by Jeff. Davis. .Ctieugalext, .oetetherz the CoMmercial, dated Chattanooga, Sept. 30;h, enve :—TivJ hundred ambulances, sent within the enemy's lines 'andel.: a flag of truce, brought in over five hundred of our wounded. While in the enemy's hands they had nothing to eat but corn bread. The rebels treated them kindly, expressing regrets that they couldn't pro vide for them better. Thee refused to permit the bodies of wounded or deceased officers to be removed. The enemy holds fifty two of our surgeons as prisoners of war. Our ambulances returned to the rebel lines •with the wounded rebels who fell into our hands. Both armies aro busy fortifying. The pickets are within stones' throw of each other. The associ ated press report of the battle causes con• siderable indignation among the troops. The statement that Reynolds' and Bran non's divisions were thrown into disorder is incorrect. I learn from Gen. Thomas that to the obstinate bravery of these commands the army is largely indebted for its safety. Our wounded arewell cared . for and comfortably situated. FORTRESS Moxaox; October 4.—The Richmond Examiner of yesterday has the following : Charleston, October 2.—Heavy firing was kept np during last night. The ene my's movements on Morris Island indicate more than immediate operations. Two monitors b.re kept close to the Island doing picket duty. There has been but little firing to day. Atlanta, September 30.—Gen. Bragg has consented to exchange wounded with GPn. Rosecrans. Affairs are unchanged at Chattanooga Gen. Rosecrans receives his supplies by wagon from Stevenson. The rumor that Rosecrans' supplies were cut off is not credited. Rosecrans is con fined to his works around Chattanooga— our lines extending to the river above and below bim, his defences are strong, and it is thought no assault will ho made. CAIRO, Oct. B.—The s'eanfer Robert Campbell from St. Louis to Vicksburg, was fired by incendiaries on Tuesday mar. Ding last, near Milliken's Band. The flames spread so rapidly that the passes gers were forced to jump overheard before the boat could he got ashore. Twenty - two lives are known to have been lost, in eluding Lieut. Perriel, of the Eighth Mis souri ; N. 0. Curtis, of 13th lowa B. W. Thompson, of 30th Ilia.; Robe-is; of 33d Ohio ; C. Lynch, the 2d cler.;r, and4Mrs. B. Hampton.

WAsEIINGTON, Oct..4.—The formation of the State government of Virginia is now complete. The capital is temporarily established at Alexandria. The following are the names of the State officers : Fran cis B. Pierpont, Governor ; L. P. Cowper, Lieut. Governor; L. A. Hogen, Secretary of State ; G. T. Smith, Treasurer ; L. W. Webb, Auditor; F. E. Foster. Adk. General ; T. R. Bowden, Atty. General. The advocates of rebel property under the confiscation act are daily on the in crease in Alexandria The loyal people there are exceedingly fearful' lest some of the most deserving of the penalty may have their property protected by flimsy transfers. The people of London too are becoming aroused to the necessity of pro testing themselves against guerrillas. CAIno, Oct. 3.—The s'eamer Liberty with 200 bales of cotton arrived from be low: among ber passengers is Colonel Wils,n of Grant's staff, bearer of dis patches. The incendiary of the steamer Campbell is belit.ved to be a white man painted black, who left the beat above Milliken's bend. A band of guerrillas entered Brownsville and broke up a religion meeting. secur ed all the youeg men and negroes as con scripts, and robbed the place of all its val sables. The federal cavalry from Fort Pil low are pursuing the marauders (Nick Newson's guerrillas) who are conscripting the neighborhood of Danville. ST. Louts, Oct. 4.—The steamers Chan cellor, Forrest Queen and Catahoula were burned at Geneva this afternoon at two o'clock. Amusements. - --- - 11011ITTSBEROTt THEATRE.
