DISCHARGED 'EMI DISABILITY.-Thi3 dis
charges resulting from sickness produced by
the vicissitudes of camp life, and the casual
ties in the field, have stood out among the
prominent military returns to the Surgeon
General's office at Washington. The returns
in the medical director's office of the army,
show that since the war commenced 135,000
soldiers have been discharged from service on
surgeons' certificates of disability. This does
not of course include those discharged through
other departments, nor those whose terms of
service have expired, but simply comprises
those whose health and physical inability to
be a soldier preVented them from being of
further service in the army.

which is curious, and " important if true."
He remarks that "the extreme lateness and
coldness of the spring have had an unfavor•

THE COMMANDER Or TUE UNION ARMY.
General Meade's military history has already
been given to the world. His private and
personal biography (which now belongs to
The country that ho has served so well) is
briefly this:
He was born at Cadiz, the commercial me
tropolis of Spain, in 1816. His father, Leon
and Worsam Meade, was then Consul of the
Übited States and Navy Agent at that port,
having been appointed to those offices under
President Thomas Jefferson in 1800, and
continued in them under Presidents Madison
and Monroe. Near the close of Nionroe's ad
ministration ho returned to the, United Stales
with his family. During the twenty years of
his residence in - Spain, Richard W. Meade
beoarne . "the father of eight living children."
Among those eight children was George Gor
don Meade, now commanding the Army of the
Potomac.
Consul Meade figured largely in rho mo
mentous events of the period of his residence
in Spain. Ho maintained possession of the
confidence not only of successive administra•
Lions at home, but of ell the various govern•
meats which, at fitful intervals, took possess
ion of Madrid.
His services in aiding the ro.establishing of
the independence of Spain were - greatofully
acknowledged, not only by the King, tho Re
g9llo,ll, and. the Cortes of the kingdom, but,
by the

The Draft Riot in New York
In another column will be found ar•eopieue
description of the great riot which for two
days has been raging in the city of Nally York.
Here we see the legitimate fruit of the teach
ings of the copperhead demagogues who have
been assiduously sowing the seeds of reqlt
among the ignorant classes for two years
past. The Seymours and Woods, at last sue-'
needed in arousing their followers to what
they have been pleased to call the " unwar
ranted usurpation of power by the Lincoln
despotism," and they have the tangible re
suit in the murdered citizens of both sexes,
the smoking ruins, and the general devasta-
tion which now adorns the empire city.—
Messeiurs copperheads, how do you like the
sppearanoe and performance of the ghost you
have raised and now find yourselves power
less to lay ?
That this outrageously, lawless proceeding
will very soon be put down with a heavy
hand is certain, and that many of the actors
in the fearful tragedy will suffer the just pen
alty of their crimes, is equally sure ; but that
the prime movers and instigators of the riot
—the men and the journals, who have day
by day inculcated their treasonable views and
doctrines into the minds of short sighted and
uuwury listeners,—until their treasonable
teachings have at last culminated in open
erneute—that. these men should escape unwhipt

has done more towards inciting this terrible
riot than the draft itself. Not many mouths

Respecting Private Property
The rebels receive a good deal of credit
in certain quarters, mostly t opperhead, fur
the respect which they are said to have paid
to private property, and the forbearance they
manifested towards citizens whose persons
and property were in their power. We have
heard of no instances, however, parallel to
those Of our army in Virginia, where gnards
were stationed to protect rebel property, and
even a spring, of goo I water on the farm of a
ted rebel wits. forbidden to be ued by our
Soldiers, lest some ttitlin4 damage might
done to the premises. That "respect," as we
understand it, consisted in taking precisely
what they wanted whereecer they could find

trash called "Confederate notes." Thousands

A Dirty Dog
The Editor of the Gettysburg Compiler, a
democratic codperhend sheet, has been sent
to Poet McHenry by General Meade. Mrs.
Beuhler, the wife of the Postmasmr at Get
tysburg, had hid a number of wounded Sol
diers in her house. When the Rebels occu
pied the town, the brute of the Compiler told
the rebels that Mrs. Boulder had some woun
ded soldiers hid in her house, and also where
they could find arms and liquor in town.
Some of the big copperheads in Carlisle
acted in the same way. Such dirty dogs
ought to be hung without, Judge or Jury:
Suppose the postmaster Miller, of this
place, had hid some of Capt. Hinkson's Com
pany, and the Rebels had occupied the.towa,
there are plenty dogs here as dirty as the
Compiler fellow who would• haye led the
rebels to the place of concealment and sur
rendered to town as the Copperhead Mayor
of York did.—Perry Advocate.

to her want of preparation for the recent reb

Sylvania soldiers were the first to hurry to
Washington at the breaking out of the hostil.
ities, till the present moment. There is
among the loyal States no largo State or ag
gregation of the smaller States, which has
made greater contributions of troops, or sof
fered more in the war, than Pennsykania.- 7,
Up to the beginning of this year Pennsylva

tia under the call of 1862 Before the battle
of Gettysburg thirty seven thousand Pennsyl
vanians had laid down their lives for their
country Pennsylvania is the only State
which has organized at her own expense a
Brst•class reserve force amounting to nearly
sixteen thousand men. This organization
acted under Major-Gen. McCall, Brig'-Gen.
Meade, Brig .Gen Reynolds, and Brig -Gen.
Ord. It was ready fur service two years ago;
and by the act of the Legislature authorizing
its existence (under the Three Million State
Loan) it was for the support of the military
forces of the State or of the United States.—
It was soon absorbed by the Army of the Yo•
omao, and variously distinguished itself.—
'rho glorious death of Reynolds, and the gld
rious work and position of Meade, are proofs
of the skill shown in the selection of the offi
cers from among the Pennsylvanians com
manding the Reserve.
As Ilie first reserve of Pennsylvania was
taken by the General Government, it is prob
able that a second or third one would have
been equally needed out of the State under
bad Generalship, and the State left as de•
fenscless as she was at the cpening of the
ate invasion. No worse spirit., however, than
that which led to the election of such men ns
Seymour. Wood, and the like, prevailed in the
Legislature of Pennsylvania; and that, and
the good nature of the General Government in
permitting the fulle•tt expansion to Copper
head ideas in both States, was the cease of
the successful invasion of Pennsylvania for
a few days. But had the fleserve force
been allowed to act as a reserve, in accord
ante with its name—and not fought through
tne battles of the Peninsula, up En that of
Chancellorsville--no Rebel troops would have,
invaded Pennsylvania, either in the cavalry
raid of 1862, or the general attack of 1863.
The last call of Gov. Curtin, fur sixty thou
sand additional troops, too, let it be borne in
mind, has been quickly responded to. The
three months men are pouring in as fast as
they can be enrolled.

The work of our cavalry in hard marching
and almost continuous fighting during the
last week has been unprecedented. Let me
giie you a brief resume of their doings, which
I gather from Colonel Mann. On F t riday,
during the fight. General Co-ter's brigade had
a fight with Stuart on our extreme right, near
Gettysburg. The 7th Michigan charged' a
regiment of Rebels deployed as skirmishers,
and were themselves, in turn, charged on by
Hampton's brigade. In this charge they lost
eighty-five, including eight officers. Two
Sergeants, carrying the flag, were shot down
iu succession. Lieutenant Jewett then seized
the flag, but was cut down with a sabre stroke
on the head, and the colors captured. The
Ist Michigan then made a dashing charge
against the whole of 'Hampton's brigade, and
forced them roP a time to give ground. The
fight was kept up for some hmirs, until Stuart
drew off. Oa Sunday, General Kilpatrick
attacked and captured a Rebel wagon train at
Monterey, between Eminitishurg and Wayns
boto', taking nearly nineteen hundred pris
oners, of whom one hundred and seventy
nine were commissioned officers. A part of
the train was carried off, and the remainder
burnt.. On the Caine day ilpatrick had a sharp
skirmish at Smithburg with the rear of the
Rebel retreating column. Passing westward
from there on Monday, he made a demon
stration on Hagerstown The enemy came
out. in strong force, and endeavored to cut
hint off from the Williamsport road, in which
direction he was going to form a junction
with Gen. Buford The enemy made desper
ate ellorts to cut, in between the two divis
ions, and the fig . hting was hot and bloody.—
The junction was finally effected; and the ob.
ject .of the reconnoissance having been accom
plished, QM' forces drew off during the night,
and the next day, Tuesday, succeeded
reaching Boonsboru'.
Gen. Lee's irnins at.? packed in the vicinity
of Wil:iainsport, occupying the hills of the
Cunocheague Valley, and defended by artillery
in position. Ilis whole number u 1 wagons,

rioters had taken their position in front of
the building, the operations of the officers
were interrupted by the noise and the loud
threats of ruffians inside of the building ; who
soon afterwards took their position s with the
principal rioters in the street.
Tire first demon-tration of vit?lspee was
made immediately thereafter. A volley of
stones crashed through the open doors and
large windows of the enrolling office (which
had Inert constructed fur a store on the first

building, and though several families of
women and children occupied that part, stones
and other missiles were
„thrown through the
windows.-
ATTEMPT TO SACIi THE BUILDING
While the building was burning the crowd
ili,..covered the i,ttle dour, and atte upted to

to their companions to follow, and rushed up
the stairs. But few, however, were permitted
to ascend, the pollee it.tsuring them that none
but VlOllll3ll and children were there.
TILE POLICE AND THE MILITARY.
The police force then ready for duty, con
sisted of only about. twenty men, and nearly
all were drawn u 0 in Forty sixth street 3 few
