Death of Capt. Audreiv Lewis.
We last week made the brief announce
ment through'these columns of the death
on the battle-field of our gallant fellow-
townsman, Capt. Andrew Lewis, who, a
little over a year ago, departed from our
midst, with buoyant health and spirits, to
do battle for his country ; but the subject 1
of his life and death demands more than J
a passing notice at our hands. I
Capt. Lewis was born in Philadelphia
in 1817, and was therefore 45 years of j
sge when he fell. Our knowledge of his j
earlier life is limited. Ifo took up his j
residence in this place, however, about the j
year 1840, fince which time he baa been j
with us and of us. A self-made man, his j
energy of purpose soon developed itself in
lits new home, while his innate integrity
won him both respect aud position.

.wexicau war, v-api. jjtj? enrowea uis
name in the . Kbenkburg company then
formed, (the ''Cambria Uuards,") and
shouldering his musket, served with cred
it during the entire campaign. Return
ing gafe'y therefrom, he resumed the im
plements of peace, and worked assiduously
at his profession that of house plasterer
until the breaking out of the present j
Rebellion.
- When the tocsin of war was sounded by
the Traitors of the South, he again rushed i
tojhe rescue, and was among the first to
enroll his name. He was elected First
Jicutcnant of the company raised in this
place for the war, (Co. A, 11th Penna.
Reserves,) but shortly after on the pro-'
motion of Capt. Litzi.nger to a Msjorship j
vhe was chosen Captain.
In this capacity lie served up to the
time of his death. He ranked high among
hi fellow-officers, and was exceedingly
Tcloved and respected by his men. Where !
be would bd his nun would follow ; and j
the plate of danger existed not unto which '
he would not, if need- be, cheerfully, yea, j
. enthusiastically rush. Indeed, hi bravery j
n.d long oven passed into a by-word anion;
those who knew him.
A 0"d poldier, an excellent huj-baud
,iod father, a kiud friend, an esteemed j
citizen, and a vian in every attribute of!
ihe word, he bus scaled hu devotion to his
reuptry .vrilh his life. May it not have
been in vain I
, regard. the mmuer of Capt Lewis'
Jeatb: H? and He c?mpa.'y, a? u Veil 1
known bj our readers, bore a conspicuous
part in the terrible Seven Days' struggle
on the peninsula before IViehmoud. On
the 27th June the day on which the
company suffered most severely lie was
wounded in the leg by a musket-ball. He
necessarily, had to be leit on the field,
when he fell into the hands of the Rebels.
The proper attention probably not being
paid his wound by his captor?, amputation
was rendered necessary. This operation
was performed ; but, alas ! in vain. On
the 2d July he breathed his last, and was
buried (so we are informed) by some cap
tared comrades at Gaines' Hill, in the
vicinity of the battle-field.
Thus fought and fell nobly, glorious
ly, in uefeuee of a sacred principle Capt.
Andrew Lewis. The hideous Moloch
of Secession has required many a sacrifice
this be reckoned among the greatest.
The pulseless arm of the heroic dead
gi&.sps no more the trusty sword, and his
"toga has become the ccxements of the
grave ;" but his memory will be enshrined
in the hearts of his countrymen forever.
The deceased leaves behind him a lov
ing wife and two childreu to mourn their
irreparable loss. The synipiies of the
world were only so many intrusions upon
the deep sacredness of their sorrow, could
they reach their ears ; yet in the midst of
their bereavement they may know that
they possess the condolence, the silent
sympathy and respect of a nation.
"A life how useful to his country led !
How loved while living ! how revered when
loved v
dead !'
Duty of ttic Hour.
Among the last glorious sentiments
delivered by the patriotic Stephen A.
Douglas was this : "The conspiracy to
break up the Unnu is a fact now known
to all. Armies are beiug raised, and war
levied to accomplish it. There can be
but two sides to the controversy. Every
man must be on the side of the United
States or against it. There' cau be no
neutrals in this war. There can be none
but Patriots and Traitors." This makes
up the issue clearly, distinctly, and forci
bly. Indifference is treason, and no loyal
man can hold-back when the bugle calls
to aims and the drum iuvites to enlist
ment in the ranks of the Uuion's defend
ers. From all quarters comes up the cry for
a decided jjlicy, aud for a vigorous pros
ecution of the war. Evidently an indom
itable spirit pervades the people ; but
while we say this, we also say that we
should not degrade that spirit into mere
revenge. Those who mistake blind fury
for strength err grievously. - Calmness is
the attribute of fctiength aud magnanimi
ty of n great cause. Let not the L'niou
army degrade itself to tho low level of the
standard of morality and civilization
established by the accursed secessionists
who began this wicked and infernal war.
Certainly we must prosecute this war
vigorously, but to do so we must prosecute
it not ia a spirit of diabolical vengance.
While Mr. Lincoln rides the whirlwind
and guides the storm, ha is himself calm
and self-possessed. In the midst of the
universal emotion he manifests the forti
tude aud repose of a Roman of Rome's
heroic age. No eauistry bewilders him
into error; no solicitation sways him
against his convictions ; no dread of pop
ular clamor, or party enmity intimidates
him. The guardian of the national hon
or and the Constitution, he is equal to the
exalted position which he fills. The vig
orous prosecution of the war means with
him, not a remorseless revolutionary cru
sade, but the invocation of the valor, the
genius, and the resources of the country in
behalf of his country's cause. A brighter
renown for the Republic and the addition
of one immortal name at leas to its his
tory will be the legacy of his term of office
to posterity.
.Men and means are the sinews of war;
the young and active can furui--h the
former, and the aged and infirm the latter.
Every citizen should have a representative
in the army ; those who cannot go in
person should provide for the families of
others who are anxious to enlist but are
deterred by domestic considerations. The
necessity is urgent, and we trust that
every i"-11 will striv? to quicken the en
thusiasm of his neighbor, aud impress
them with a proper tense of their duties.
There should be a great loyal uprising
throughout Pennsylvania ; every hamlet,
village, town, and city in the State should
be emulous to send its quofa of recruit,
and more than its proportion if possible.
Patriotic onthuiasiu should become con
tagion :iT$d in(ue itself into the luke
warm. Pennsylvania has on every pmpcr
occasion renewed her determination to
sustain the Union : her sons have sancti
fi vd 1 he h ol v r h u -? b v 1 i ba t ious of t Ik i r blood
on almost every battlefield of the war.
Her good name must not now be tarnished;
theie must be no blemish on her loyalty
or her daring. Their spirit must not
flag when it is mont needed. Those who
come to their couutry's rescue in her
hour of peril will live in after ages as
heroes, while those who are recreant to
duty will be remembered as false traitors
and dastardly cowaids. Meu of Pennsyl
vania, arouse I Your couutry calls on you
to support your brothers now in arms.
Will you heed the call, or will you allow
them to perish for want of assistance, and
the heritage which your fathers gave you
become a birthright of shame for your
children ! To arms ! To arms ! and
crush out rebellion !

Washington, August 4. The follow
ing order ha? just been issued :
" War Department, Washivjlon, D. C.'
Auyust 4, 1SG2. Order calling for Mili
tia from the several States: Ordered,
First. That a draft of three hundred
thousands militia be immediately called
into the service of the United States, to
serve for nine months, unless sooner dis
charged. The Secretary of War will as
sign the quotas to the States, aud' estab
lish regulations for the draft.
"Second. That if anytSfate shall not,
by ths fifteen th of A tajxist, furnish its quota
of additional three hundred thousand yol
uittiers authorized by law, the deficiency
of volunteers in that State will also be
made up by special draft from the militia,
and the Secretary of War will establish
regulations for this purpose.
"Third. Regulations will be prepared
by the War Department and presented to
the President, with the object 'of securing
the promotion of officers of the army and
volunteers for meritorious and dis-tiu-guished
servieea, and of preventing the
nomination and appointment in the mili
tary service of incompetent ajid unworthy
officers. The regulations will also pro
vide for ridding the service of such in
competent persons as now hold commis
sions. By order of the President.
E M. Stanton, Scc'y. of War."
Far rag ill's Famous Canal.
A western correspondent writes as fol
lows : We have before spoken of the
chances of success of the canal which is
being out across the neck of land in 'front
of us. .We have seen no. reason to dis
miss our fears of its failure. In the first
place it will require a very considerable
rise of river in order to have the water cut
its way through the narrow ditch A
slight rise in the river is now here, but
the canal is so far from completion that
it is feared no advantage can be takeu of
it. About ten feet of water would send
it over with force enough to cut out a
wide channel. This much it is not likely
we can have before next season. Resides,
the work "as it now stands, is a model of
engineering stupidity. The entrance on
the upper side is straight into a recess iu.
the bank, where the water actually runs
from the shore in an eddy, iustcad of
being run out to a point in the .shore
where the formidable current strikes with
wonderful velocity. Aud, as if to preclude
the possibility of the banks wearing above,
a long barge has been moored above the
mouth of the ditch. We despair of the
success of the caual this season. It has
been spoken of to cut through the uarrow
stiip of two hundred and fifty yards at
Terrapin Neck, twenty-five miles above,
so that the waters rushing through would
create a temporary rise of a toot or two,
and so, with its present stage, it might
overcome the resistance and break across
the peninsula.
Such a work would be a great aud good
one, worthy of the energies ot the Govern
ment, independent of its military significance-
It would also be a fiue stroke of
retribution for the misdeeds of Vicksburg
to seud the current of the Mississippi
away from her wharves forever. The
citizens have been fearing it for years,
but not at the hands of Government. As
one of the rankest hot-beds of treason,
and. next to Charleston, perhaps the most
active in rebellion, it would be a signal
punishment to blight the place with pov
erty hereafter. Rut as a military ma
neuver we fear the undertaking cannot
be attended with any success.
The rebels have only to extend their
batteries lower down on the same ridge of
bluffs to get their guns within range of
the river at the outlet of the canal.
Besides, there is something essentially
tricky in this evading of batteries. There
is nothing after all, so completely humili
ating and convincing to the eneaiv as to
beat them out of the strongholds by the
force of powder and shot. Our nieii are
ready and burning to tze the batteries
hand to hand, with pistol and sabre, il
need be, whenever the word is given.
About twelve hundred negroes are now at;
work on. the canal, but they work very
blowly. Two hundred Irishmen would do
twice their work any day.

Correspondence of The Alleghunian.
Having been released from rebel cap
tivity and once more permitted to bask in
ihe eunshiue of our ever loyal old Key
stone, I take this occasion of dropping
you a line. There are three of Co. A
here, viz : David T. James, wounded bad
ly in laft shoulder. Thos. P. Dumm in
breast and both arms, aud your obedient
servant, fchot through the left breast, the
ball being extracted near the spine. Sergt.
John E. Scanlan was with us as far as
Fortress Monroe, where he was sent
ashove. He is wounded in left hip and
below the left knee. Ilia wounds were
extremely painful, but I never heard a
murmur escape his lips, and he appeared
cheerful on all occasions, notwithstanding
being a prisoner and subjected to all the
insult, starvation and persecution of Jeffs
myrmidons. In all, as far as I had the
means of ascertaining, there are about
twenty or twenty-five of Co. A killed,
wounded and missing. George M'Rrooui
died of his wounds in the prison in Rich
mond. We left Richmond on Friday, 2Gth ult.,
and reached this place on Tuesday last.
We cannot get a furlough to visit our
friends, as the war department has re
cently issued an order, proclaiming no
more furloughs to soldiers, either wounded
or otherwise. We have stood a good deal
for Uncle Sam, and we can stand that
too.
While in Richmond we were incarcer
ated in one of those far famed tobacco
warehouses. There were eight -huudred
and thirty-four sick and wounded uen in
one building, among whom were a largt.
number who had undergone amputations
The rebel authorities were humane and
magnanimous enough to assign one sur
geon to atteud all these, while forty of
our own surgeons were prisoners in the
city, and would gladly have cared for our
wounded, had they been permitted.
Those warehouses are the most filthy and
obnoxious . places to be found arwhere.
We were obliged to lie ou the floor, which
was coated to the depth of an inch and a
half, with filth of every description. Our
food was 8 ounces of bread per day.
The remainder of our Regiment are on
an Island in the James River, opposite
Richmond, called Dell's Isle. There arc,
besides, about 5,000 others on" the Islaud.

On to Iliclimontl!
The general movement of the armies .of
the United States, alluded to a day or two
sincein The Press, hasalready commenced.
At daj-break yesterday morning the Army
of Virginia took up the line of march
from Warrenton for Richmond, where we
trust the vanguard will soon arrive, after
this and other armies shall have overcome
the rebels in another grand pitched battle
-one in which right, left, and centre of
both armies may be engaged where the
columns may close and show the world a
sublime spcetable of the sturdy North in
overcoming his Southern opponent at the
point of the bayonet a battle in which
the ?reat question shall be decided, "Shall
the Uuited States remain as a great Fed
eral combination of thirty-four or more
States ?" a field where the blood of
thousands of arrogant, foolish Southern
traitors may atone for the heinous .rime
committed, and the great American
national sin of omission may be washed
out by the blood of our people. The
Army of the Potomac has been ordered
to prepare for action; and as an attack
is not probable at present, it is plain that
a movement, of an important nature, is
designed. The ninth army corps at New
port News only awaits orders to move on,
as an invincible forlorn hope, to the Army
of the Potomac. A powerful blow is tobe
struck, and that very soon. Let us not
be idle at home. These armies, even now
very powerful, may be almost annihilated
in the coming storm, but the rebels must
suffer most severely, and their grand army
at Richmond will be powerless for some
time after the ereat struggle, even though
it consists of 300,000 men. Rut a new
army must advance quickly to end the
war and crush treason in the Southern
States. This army must be raised as if
stamped out of the ground at one footfall
by Abraham Lincoln. Every man that
loves his country and can be spared from
home under the present bounty-offerings
of our citizens even at a sacrifice to his
interests should enroll himself in this
j Army of Occupation, as we believe it will
prove to be. Phila. Press.

Who Stands Fast to the Govern-J
merit. I
The Mis.ouri Democrat accuses a dough- j
face editor in Illinois, with having once j
declared that "his party was ou tho verge t
of a precipice ;" but in the same sentence
exhorted his party to go "steadily ahead."
If that editor is still alive, he is probably
a leader in the "conservative" party, and
with the relics of his former party is
exhorting the government to go "steadily
ahead," though they ?ee it on tho verge
of a precipice. This is the position of
northern disloyal conservatism, which,'
through its organs in Pennsylvania, is
preaching "conciliate the traitors"
"don't touch their property" "don't of
fend their sensibilities ;" offer them peace,
compromise, and appeal to them by .ihe ;
kindest regards to come back aud restore j
"the Uniou a 6 it was." i
As no parent who truly loves his child j
will see it goiu wrong without giviug it I
timely admonition and warning, so no J
lover of hii couutrv will see it ou the verge '
of a precipice and exhort those iu power
to go "steadily ahead." It is perfectly
astonishing how wise some selfish sup
porters of the goverument are. They live
on the government ; and shall they revile
the source of their sustenance ? Not
they ! Rut with the enemies of the
country their voices are heard cryiug,
"Go steadily ahead ; all is right." Is this
the voice of patriotism 't Docs it exhibit
a decent respect or love for those in, power,
to see them walking upon the verge-of a
precipice, and raise no voiee of warning 'i
Rather, are not those who sound the
alarm the true friends of the administra
tion '!
The administration has confessed itself
mistakeu in conducting the first year of
this war, or it would not have changed
its policy. It has tried every expedient
but the one that would accomplish the I
grand object of putting an end to this
rebellion. At the end of a twelvemonth,
it finds itself in the midstjjjf. distressing
embarrassments. Now. is it the part of
wisdom, or friendship, to say to our rulers.
"Go steadily ahead," when they and we
see that nothing is accomplished, and that
we are nearer the verge of the precipice
than ever? We have never doubted the
patriotism of the President or his consti
tutional advisers. We have never ques
tioned their zeal iu the most honorable
and holy cause ever entrusted to human
hands. Rut to fay that they have uot
made mistakes, is' to concede more than
they claim for themselves. For, haing
tried one course, aud found it entirely
powerless to accomplish their object, they,
like wise men, have concluded to try
another, and we believe, a far better one.
In the new policy, when it is developed,
we expect to sea something that will be a
guarantee of. success, at least so far as
human judgment can decide upon such a
matter in advance. One thing we know,
aud that is, the old policy has utterly
failed to produce the desired results. As
slow a? the Administration has been in
conur.":
to that conclusion, it lias nuw
1
found that those who admonish it against
the fallacy of trying to fight an insolent
and determined enemy, with professions
of love and conciliation, are its best
friend.-. Talk about eouservatUiu ! What
is that, as used, but another name for
timid treason, willing, but wailing to avow
itself? Prate about radicalism! As
though anything could be more radical
than war. We are engaged in war nut
looking upon fancy parades. War cannot
be conducted successfully upon peace
principles, nor be ruled by the maxims of;
peace trainings.
Up to this time, we have had a holiday
sport. Our enemy has shown himseU no
mean opponent, to be overcome by a nine-ty-das'
training. We count our losses
in men by tli3 huudred thousand, and our
expenses by the huudred millions.' What
have we to show for it but the dearly
bought experience of those iu power. .
Have the people no iuterestiu these things,
that they should remain dumb ? Is the
press the hireling that it must keep si
lent ? Let those whose living depends
upon their silence, be &ilont. Rut while
we have the heart to feel for our country's
woes aud the courage to express an honest
conviction, we shall not fail to "criticise"
the acts of our dearest friend, if, in our
opinion, those acts seem to btf carrying
our country "steadily ahead" over the
precijiice. liar. Tclcyraph.
