on Monday. 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.

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

communication as the Mississippi River opens
to our army. flew much harder it is to in

let us recall events from hull Run to Chan

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.—

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

baffled. It is only when we have controlled
deep navigable waters that our armies hove

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

if they mean to stop short of annihilation,
they will certainly see the propriety and no
cessity of yielding.

city by Lee's army was apprehended, General

A few evenings ago a party' of four young

slightly intoxicated individual, from Harrison

county was invited to join the party in a drink
at. a noilthboring liquor house, of which the.

prietor, who is fond of a joke, insisted that
Harrisbn county should pay for it. The in

then pilled out a dollar. After waiting a few

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

The article then goes on pretty correctly
till it says, Our troops were partly in Main

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

fellows, Nvw Yolk shoul.l certainly net

well from what he hal receive] the night be•

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

Ater reviewing the, above you will undould

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

have been expected of raw troops surprised

of the enemy. The foolish compatisoiii and

and
the gent lemen present took steps to triake it.

"As the end of tit- line reached the square,

of people that now poured in the square was

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

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.
Cnawroan. 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. Ile was literally overwhelmed. Then
the Fifth Corps and part of others were
moved in, but a portion of the Fifth wan
turned and driven back, and disaster was im
minent. The retreating column came press

the Reserves, and it should be given without

" On Friday the brigade of Col McCandless
and the Ninth, of Fisher's, were the heroes
of another gallant, action. Holding the po
sition they had so handsomely won, they
were again•ordered forward. Two brigades
of the ltebel General Hood were in posses
