It becoming known that he was on the train, a number of persons assembled at the depot, and when the oars arrived gave some rousing cheers for the distinguished soldier who sppeareCon the platform of a car and made some patriotic remarks. He is to take a command, we learn, in Meade's army. 'John Morgan, as is well known, says the Cincinnati Commercial, does not carry the leading article of " brains" in hie command. That article is under the hat of Col. Basil Duke, who is Morgan's adviser, and advises by the authority of superior abilities. Th o Surgeon General has just com menced the work of making out a complete'of ficial list of all soldiers who have died during the present war. The list is intended to em brace every death in the regular and volun. Leer forces, and give the name, rank, regi ment, company, cause of death, date of death and place of death. This work will be of great value to the Pension and Land offices In future adjudications in regard to deceased soldiers, and will save the Government much expense and time in complicated cases which would otherwise arise. Gov. Tod, of Ohio, has issued a proclama tion warning the Copperheads of that State to 'forbear resistance to the enrollment, and re turn to their homes. lie says : " The Gov ernment, both of the State and Nation, must and shall be maintained.

Full particulars van be sok.. NIA by addressing the President of the MeV, JOBEI'II Hanna, Editor Genesee Farmer, iloohostor, N. Y. The Conscription and the War The Administration is * rioting wisely in or dering the immediate enforcement of the draft. We have just achieved two great vic tories which it seems should paralyze the war power of the rebellion We have heaten'its greatest army, and captured Its most power ful stronghold. Upon LEE'S army the eas tern half of the Confederacy depended for pro tection. Upon Vicksburg the western half depended for safety. After LEE'S defeat and Vicksburg's fall, it might seem that the re hellion would come to a speedy end, and with out further effort on the part of the North.— We shall soon know the effect of these losses on the rebel States ; but we aro prepared to hear that no signs of submission appear and that redoubled bitterness and frenzy rule the Southern heart. • The rebels have had great losses, hereto• fore, and they have net them patiently and stoutly. Their losses at Forts Henry and Donelson, of Forts Philip and Jackson, and of the Cities of New Orleans and Norfolk, were great calamities,, but they did not de stroy their spirit or purpose. The obstinacy of the rebels has been sufficiently proved by their action in the past. They have evinced a recuperative power after mishaps, and given evidence of fertility of resource, and of in genuily in creating the applicanees of war, for which they had never before had credit We see no reason to believe that their spirits will now, all at once, give way, that their obstinacy will be broken, or their aptness fcr war will fail. With all the harm we have just done them, their power is yet immense And no cause so desperate as. theirs is likely to be abandoned until the last moment, and when there is no longer a leader or an army to stand in its defence. Granting that we utterly disable Gen LEN. and that we drive the rebel arms from !be Mississippi River, we must still have the work of invasion and conquest to prosecute And this is harder than the work of °Spelling roni our soil an invader, or capturing astrorg hold to which we advance with such a line of communication as the Mississippi River opens to our army. flew much harder it is to in cede successfully than to beat hack in itiva der, let two years' history in Virginia tell— let us recall events from hull Run to Chan cellorsvide. We have an instructive lesson. also, in the State of Tennessee. Virith,a rail road and river behind it, our army has, fwr half a year, been he'd fast bound in eight of hills and steeples of the City of Nashville.— (den. ROSECRANS lay half a year at Murfrees• bore ? after a great victory over the enemy.— lle durst not pursue ; because eery mile of advance, penetrating inland into the enemy's country, weakened his army, exposed him to annoyances and attacks - on flank and rear, and endangered his communications with his depots of supplies at Nashville and Murfrees boro. Such dangers will always beset an in , vading army. We have captured many points around the edges of the Confederacy—Norfolk, Suffolk, Roanoke Island. Newburn, (N C.,) Port Roy al, (S. C.,) San Augustine and Pensacola. Fla., Ship Island, New arleanS, and at one time, Galveston, Texas. But we have done nothing but hold those places Every nt tempt to penetrate inland from them has been baffled. It is only when we have controlled deep navigable waters that our armies hove been able to invade and hold (heir otrn in (be rebel Slates. Armies as large as those that have hitherto mode the attempt to penetrate Virginia- must renew thn arlempl. Armies greater than Gen. ROSECRANS now leads may be required to capture Chattanooga, and go into Georgia. Gen. GRANT with all his rein forcements, may not bo able to protect the Mississippi River, from the depredations of PRICE on the West, hold Vicksburg and Jack. son, and pursue Gen. JOE JOHNSTON'S new army to the interior of Alabama, with the hope of getting a safe tight out of him. Therefore, the conscription is necessary.— Even after the late great victories, a new army of 300,000 men must be got ready to move upon the Confederacy. Let the rebel State: see that not only are they beaten now, by the forces at present in the field, but that in the Fall they must meet the same veteran armies. recruited, and 300.000 stronger. Anil then, if they mean to stop short of annihilation, they will certainly see the propriety and no cessity of yielding. litEttj„,,Doring the excitement at. Baltimore, week, before last, when an attack upon that city by Lee's army was apprehended, General Schenck military commander of that Depart ment, issued an order for the closing of all places of business except newspaper qlices It has always been a fixed principle with the gent and liberty-loving people of this country that the press is one of the chief allies of freedom and one of the firmest bulwarks of American institutions. henry A Wise once boasted that not a newspaper was published in his Acconiac district, and consequently the intellectual darkness overshadowing that dis trict made it nu easy matter . to plunge the people, into rebellion against Mir government. The press is the sentinel on the watch tow ers of our country, and when that sentinel sleeps or for any cause deserts his post, then indeed will the insidious and treacherous en emy swarm within our lines, and strike down and pollute the flag of our country at the very altar of our government. 100 00 50 00 60 00 26 00 40 00 20 00 TILE SPIOY RESOLVE OF TILE SOLDIER id ad. mirably set forth in the tollowing resolution passed by a portion of the Missouri militia, on the 14th of May last : • ResOlved, That we adopt the folfowing as our platform as regards rebeldom ; Emanoi potion with deportation ; sequestration with. out litigation ; condemnation without mitiga. tion ; extermination without procrastination , confiscation without botheration. and datqna• tion without reservation or any hesitat_imias THE MEANS of bringing to a speedy termina• lion the Southern confederation. _Roost Hietu.i-, The _Wheeling Intelligencer is :responsible for the following good one : A few evenings ago a party' of four young gentlemen were out 'me a lark ; " . tvheu a slightly intoxicated individual, from Harrison county, stumbled into the crowd. Harrison county was invited to join the party in a drink at. a noilthboring liquor house, of which the. gefitteman extending the invitation was pro prietor. After taking the drink, the pro prietor, who is fond of a joke, insisted that Harrisbn county should pay for it. The in taxlonted person hesitated a moment, and then pilled out a dollar. After waiting a few moments—in vain—for his change, he fold. act up his pocketbook, and walking indignant ly away from the crowd, said; "Gentlemen, 1 don't say you are all thieves, but if I' was a chioketr, and lived around bore ,I would root d—d • New York vs. Philadelphia From the Phila. North' American of Tues day we clip the following correspoedenCe : " We publish on phge 477 an illustration of the!shelling of the town of Carlisle, Peunsyd vania, by the rebels, from a sketch by our special artist, Mr. Thomas Nast.' Our mili tia, comprising among other regiments the 22d and 87th, both from this city, marched from Harrisburg on the 80th of June and ar rived at Carlisle' next morning, after some skirmishing with the rebels. That evening the rebel commander sent three several sum monses to the commanding officer at Carlisle, demanding a surrender, but old General Smith had no notion of that kind, and refused in terms more peremptory titan polite. T e rel-els then at 10 P. M., began to shell the place. Our troops were partly in Main street and partly in the outskirts of the town, lying quietly in the dark, unable to reply, and ex posed to the shells, Yet no man wavered or skulked, and by good Providence no one was killed, though some were slightly wounded by contusions. Next morning our boys moved and the rebels skedaddled." [The above describes a picture of a scene in Main street, Carlisle, being shelled.— Troops are drawn up in line, and prominent in the foreground a battery is being wheeled into position ] Now, Mr, Editor, I should like to make a few comments on the above, if you will per mit, and show your readet•a tlie disposition of the New Yorkers towards the Philadelphians. The paper hegins its article whit the cap tion •'Our Militia at Carlisle." This is cal culated to give the reader nu idea that the two aforesaid regiments were the only ones present during the contest, although the pic ture rept esent s a battery getting in position The Gray and Blue Reserves, with A, let Regiment. P. H. G. Artillery, wore brigaded with the 22d and 37th N. Y., under - Acting, Brigadie'r Col.

Novi ,. who do these guns belong to, so prominent in the engrav ing ? Wily are they not spoken of! Be cause they are Philadelphians. The article then goes on pretty correctly till it says, Our troops were partly in Main trcut nail partly it) 'lie au! ts or ilie town lying quietly in the dark, unable to reply and exposed to the Where was the bat tery now ? It certainly must have made some effort to reply. Why, sir, immediately upon the commencement t 4 the bombardment, Lieut .Col. Starr, of the Gray Reserves, .(tortnetly Captain of the well known Starr's Battery," , attached to his regiment, and an excellent ar rode to the outskirts of the town. and gill mg range of a rebel piece pouted nt the ' Birraek4, - placed one of Landis' guns in position, and the firvt shell tired split the rebel gun, (which it was sighted fur) killing eight et,n men. Certainly It would nut du for the New York editor to mention this, for it was dune by Philadelphians. - Again, the paper proceedS, " Yet not. a man wavered or skulked." The people of Carlisle well know the Philadelphia troops did not, but the 22d New York, who were drawn up in the street, immediately from the bursting of the first shell. "struck" for houses and commenced smashing in doors, windows, &c., indiscriminately. They had to be brought back at the point of the bayonet almost. to their former place. Entreaties not availing, threats had to be resorted to by-their officers, to keep the men from " skeddadling — in a body ; and yet this editor has the ellrontery lu sty that they neither "wavered 'or —skulk ed " Had the rest. of the troops present be hayed as this 22d regiment did, very little re sistance could bane been made, when in re ality the opposition made by the Philadel. phians drove Ffiz Hugh Lee end his horde natty. Alter the cowardly behavior of these fellows, Nvw Yolk shoul.l certainly net at tempt to cover up their misbehavior with praise. Again: ''But good Providence no one was killed, though .. s.urne were slightly wounded be contusions.V.

There ran be no doubt that the ••]]ray Reserves" and the bat tery of Capt. Landis "seared" the rebels too much to stay any longer. Had the New Voris troops heel/ the only Ones present, the above sen , ence would had to have been transposed thus: Next morning. the rebels buoy , d, and found our boys hod "skeddailled ' the pre vious night. Ater reviewing the, above you will undould edit agree with me in sayntg lipit the came beta g a cummen one. in which all the militia were culled t , gether, (nigh: certainly to have been a sudijent reason why the whole litTiir should have bet.n treated with r.irIAYSS by the New Y.uk editor, instead of allowing such a number of tic m ,st false teprosentatiuns to °CCM'.

The two former opened communication between Meade and Coach, and were complimented for it by the , gallant commander of the Sixth Corps, Gen Sedgwiek Truly, G. W. k , Company A, Gray ICeserveB The clumsy manufacture of both these re. liable correspondents cannot fail to excite tiOnatighter and derisio - ti of every person at all conversant a ith the facts. First comes the New York gentleman aho figures iu //a Ter's 11',eldu as the artist who furnished the view of Carlisle during the bombardment. Like the [Dail who painted the picture of a lion, and wrote under it the inscription, "this is a lion," the accommodating Mr. Nast in, forms the picture public that his is a sketch of Carlisle. If the enterprising publishers of Harper do not make the same cut do duty for Five Points, Gettysburg,' Charleston, or any other historic locality, they cannot . , charge Mr. NAST with failure in making it accommodating enough to suit these varied uses. But it is the respective claims of New York and Philadelphia to the honor of driv ing Fitz Hugh Leo and his vandals away „from our town that We wish to consider. The New York man claims that "our militia"— naming two . N. r: regiments, received the rebel fire, and did the huSiness Now Gem Smith's forces then in and about Carlisle consisted of two Philadelphia regi• mews; Philadelphia 'battery, a. Company of regular cavalry frpm Carlisle Barracks, and parts of two N. Y.reginients. 'When the bombardment commenced a portion of the N. Y. men were ordered to occupy some houses out the principal streets, from which position to fire upon the rebel cavalry if they attempted a charge Through the town. Ta king advantage of this command to secrete themselves, a very largo portion of them at once 'rushed into, the , adjacent buildings, dashing• out wibdows, defiling beds, destroy ing pictures,,fiiiniture, &ce, in tho most wan- ton manner; after accomplishing this de struction many of them took to the cellars, and there remained, snugly esconsced behind secure stone walls, and did not show their faces again until morning. On _the' other hand thO major portion of the Philadelphia troops were drawn up in two lines reaching from the squares in the centro.of town, up Main street; afterwards, Col. Brisbane, acting Brigadier Gen., chan ged their position to a line of batt e on Han over street in support of a section of the Philadelphia battery in position at the inter section of Hanover and Main streets. The residue of the battery—four guns—was in position at the I south end of Hanover street, awl was supported by one or two companies, of what regiment we did not learn. Two or three companies of the Gray Reserves were on duty at the lower * end of town. This was substantially the disposition of the troops on Wednesdsy night. " G. \V. K."—the _nr 4 'll, American's cor respondent, says that." Capt. Starr fire I the first shot (row a piece in position at the out skirts of town, splitting the rebel gun it was sighted for, and killing eighteen men." lie further says that this rebel gun that was "spilt," w s posted at the Barracks. Now the only artillery firinl from our side during the whole affair was three shots from the two guns stationed in the centre of town. The guns were sighted by Capt. Multlenberg, of Gen. Smith's staff, and though it has since been ascertained through a rebel prisoner, present tit tkte time, that they were excellent shots, we only now learn of the terrible exe cution of the first one , and Lee must have carefully gathered up all the fragments of his broken gun, for nothing was to be seen of it the next morn ng. Moreover there was no rebel artille'ry 11911 r the Barracks ; and it the-re had been, a shot from our battery would have had t travel through an entire block of houses before it could httv.e reached their position. The truth is tha \ t\ both of these writers giust have been at a very sale di:" ranee hr.in the series they pretend to de scribe, or so entirel . oblivious of what really did occur, us to make their stories absurdly ridiculous. By far the most cinch:lit service was done by those of our own citizens, who were tar in advance of the soldiers, firing on the rebels l'rom all s iris of guns, and doing, as has been definitely ascertained, severe execution arm). g their sharpshooters and pickets. The militia, with a number of disgraceful excep lions, behaved probably as well as could have been expected of raw troops surprised by the sudden and unexpected appearance of the enemy. The foolish compatisoiii and untruthful statements of over-zealous news- paper writers only provolies recrimination, arid belittles their real service. While oil this subjeet we would Say to the N. Y. press generally, that the pablicitiioii. ut stmli mali cious and untruth lid ~tat mints in !elation to the treatment their soldiers reeeivi d while in our Slate, vs have appeared in these jour nals, are unwarranted by Idcts, and in very had taste.

The Philadelphia Nurlh American, of ith July, says: '• Independence Square yesterday saw a sight Philadelphia never before witnessed— never way again.

The Limits of Patriotic criticism Prom Governor Morton's Proclamation to the people of Indiana:— The criticism of one who is friendly to the Government„ and who is anxious that it shall succeed and be preserved, and who points out errors in order that they may be corrected, is wholly different from that denunciation bleb seeks to bring the Government into contempt and render it odious to the people, thereby ,ithdrawing from its life, when struggling in battle with a powerttl enemy. The one can never be mistaken for the other. It must be borne in mind that the exercise of the plain est rights and privileges oily he greatly mod ified by sun rounding circumstances; that what may be proper or innocent and harm. less at one time may be dangerous and crim inal at another. To advocate the right of secession and re bellion, or the dissolution of our Government, might be harmless enough in time of profound peace, but o hen the country is engaged in a desperate civil war, which is consuming the best blood and treasure of the nation, and the misfortune of arms !night, within a few days bring the enemy upon die soil of our State, will it be contended that the privilege of tree speech gives the right tc advoc ito the rebel. lion, resistance to our own Government, or the abandonment of it to ate enemie , ?

The Pennsylvania Reserves The remnant of the heroic Pennsylvania Reserves surpassed, if possible, their accus tomed gallantry, at Gettysburg, under the lead of their youthful commander, Gen. S. W.

The Philadelphia Inquirer of Monday thus records the aohievements of this justly famed division: "All will remember that the battle of Thursday was mainly an overwhelming at tack of the enemy on the left of our position, and that the brunt of the assault was borne for several hours by the Third Corps, under Sickles, which was at last compelled to give way.
