condition of our Filly, when. we consider h'ow
much Ws - numbers must have been reduced
by losses in battle and the disgraceful strug
gling on long marches, and how little tiros
contributed to its number anti spirit by what
appears to have, been a cold and sinister re
ception in 3laryland, where we had been led
to expect, from what had been told us in
Richmond, 'the flocking of fifty thousand men
to our standards. We may even, iwagine
the necessity of a retreat in the situation our
army would find itself after the battle of
Sharpsbnrg—two hundred miles away from
RichMond, abort of supplies, and inn terri
tory, which, if not hostile, Was at least cold
and averse to our troops. Despite, however,
these difficulties, we are unwilling to believe
that any -portion of our forces have crossed
the Potomac with the object of retreat, but
are persuaded that such movement, ifit has
been undertaken has been merely to provide
against a flank movement or such new com
plications as the enemy might attempt."
or Our readers will recollect says the
Pottsville Journal, that in that celebrated cor
respondence between Mr. F. W. Hughes
and Secretary Seward in relation to th,lor
titer's Stato Address, Mr. Hughes distinctly
declared that there - were over three hundred
thousand persons in Pennsylvania who
thought as he did, and at least a million in
the Northern . States. This was a direct in
vitation to the Rebels to invade the North,
and their whole policy was changed from a
defensive to an aggressive movement, imme
diately after The promulgation of that corres
pondence. Thank God, the whole proi
.as ale,,
,rough the exertions of our pa
triotic Governor, and the loyalty of the peo
ple who rallied almost en masse to the sup
port of the Government in its hour of peril.
It is stated that only six persons joined the
Rebels from That section of Pennsylvania,
which shows how grossly Mr. Hughes has
libelled the people of Pennsylvania in that
correspondence.
The cost however to the tax-payers of the
State, to prevent this raid, will foot up sev

Om Griffin, whose brigade now pickets

opposite Shephardstown, keeps a strict watch

Oil Friday morning a battalion of cavalry
crossed, and soon afterwards,-seut liack as
prisoner a rebel cavalry officer, whom they
captured at Shepherdstowu. Soon after a
boy appeared on the opposite bank, shouting
to the pickets not to are. He came over,
and reported .that he had enlisted with the
rebels at Frederick, and, becoming disgusted
with the service, desired to come home.—
The rebels, he said; were in force ten inilea
back from the river. He also said that
Jackson had had his arm amputated, in con

These stories of rebel deserters are, however,
notoriously unreliable.
Our Army in Maryland
4 , .[From the Richmond Dispatch.]
The intelligence which we have received,
thus thr, from our army in Maryland, is mea
gre, unsatisthctory and made up from Yan
kee papers. The mortal :terror of the Yan
kees, however, affords ample proof that the
blow has been struck in the proper place,
and that, if properly followed up, it will not
fail to tell. What course General Lee de
signs to pursue, whether'he•will proceed im
mediately into Pennsylvania, or advance up
on the Relay House, or at once march upon
Baltimore, we have of course, no means of
determining. To us it appears, however,
that the first named enterprise would be that
which a General would be most likely to un
dertake.
list. The road lies most invitingly open.
There are no regular soldiers on the route,
and it would be a task of little difficulty to
disperse the rabble of militia that might
be brought to oppose him.
2d. The country is enormously rich. It
abounds in fat cattle, cereals, horses and
mules. Our troops would live on the very
fat of the land. They would find an oppor
tunity, moreover. to teach the Dutch farmers
and vaziers who have been\ so clamorous
for this war, what invasion really is. If
once 'compelled to take his own physic, which
is a great deal more than he has ever bar
gained for, Mynheer will cry aloud for peace
in a. very short time. For our own part,
we trust that the first proclamation of Pope,
and the manner in which his army carried it
out, will not be forgotten. We hope the
troops will turn the whole country into a de
sert, as the Yankees did the Piedmont coun
try of Virginia. Let not a blade of grass,
or a stalk' of corn, or a barrel of flour, or a
bushel or meal. or a sack of salt, or a horse,
or a cow, or a hog, or a skeep, be left wher
ever they move along. Let vengeance be ta
ken for all that has been done, until retribu
tion itself shall stand _aghast. This is the
country of the smooth-spoken, would-be-gen
tleman, McClellan. He has caused a loss to
us, in virginia, of at least 30,000 _negroes;
the most valuable property that a Virginian
can own. They have'no negroes in Penn
sylvania. Retaliation must therefore fall
upon something else. And let it fall upon
everything that constitutes property. A.
Dutch farmer has no negroes; but ho has
horses that can be seized, grain that can be
confiscated, cattle that can be killed, and
houses that can be burnt. He can be taken
prisoner and sent to Libby's warehouse, as
our friends .in Fauquier, and Loudoun, and
Culpepper and. Stafford, and Fredericksburg,
and the Peninsula, have been sent to Lin
coln's dungeons in the North. Let 'retalia
tion be complete, that the Yankees may learn
that two can play at the game they have
themselves commenced.
3d. By advancing into Pennsylvania with
rapidity, our army can easily get possession
of the Pennsylvania Ventral Railroad, and
break it down so thorougly that it cannot be
repaired in six months. They have already
possession'ofthe Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road and the York Railroad. By breaking
down these and the railroad from Philadel
phia to Baltimore ; they' will completely Iso
late both Washington and Baltimo/e., ' , No
reinforcements can reach there from either
the North or the W.e.st r except by the Poto
mac and the bay. •

Loss. in the two battles 14,794.
The rebels in the two battles, as near as
can be ascertained from the number of their
dead found upon the field, and from other
data, will not fall short of the &Rowing esti
mate:
Major Davis, Assistant Inspector General,
who superintends the burial of the dead, re
ports about three thousand rebels buried
upon the field of .Antietam by our troops.--
Previous to this, however, the rebels had
buried many of their own dead upon the dis
tant portion of the battle-field, which they
occupied after the battle, probably at least
five hundred.
The loss of the rebels at South Mountain
cannot be ascertained with accuracy; but as
our troops continually drove them, from the
t'unrmenceinent of the action, and as a much
greater number of their dead were seen on
the field than of our men, it is not unreason
able to- suppose that their loss was 'greater
than ours. Estimating their• killed of 500,
the total rebel killed, 'in the two, battles,
would be 4,000. According to the ratio of
our own killed and wounded,, this would
make'their loss in wounded 18,742.
As nearly as can be ascertained at this
time, the number of prisoners taken by our
troops in the two battles, will, at the lowest
estimate, amount to 5,000. The full returns
will, no doubt, show a larger number. Of
these, about 1,200 are wounded.
This gives the rebel loss in killed,
wounded, and prisoners, 25,542. It will be
observed that this does not include their
stragglers, the number of whom is said by
citizen here to be large.
It may be safely concluded, therefore.
that the rebel army lost at least 30,000 of
their best troops during their campaign in
Ma land. „
From the time our troops first encountered
the enemy in Maryland until he was driven
back into Virginia, we captured 13 guns, 7
caissons, 9 limbers, 39 colors, midi signal
flag.
• We have not lost a single gun or color.—
On the battle-field of Antietam 14,000 small
arms were collected, besides the large num
ber carried off by citizens and those distribu
ted on the groundi to the recruits and other
unarmed mon arriving immediately after the
battle.
At South Mountain no collection of small
arms was made, owing to the haste of the
pursuit from that point; 400 were taken on
the opposite side of the Potomac.

Another Proclamation.
Wheras, It has become necessary to
.call
into service not only volunteers but also por
tions of the militia of the States by draft,
in order to suppress the insurrection exist
ing In the United States, and disloyal panics
are not adequately restrained by the ordinary
processes of the law from hindering this
measure from giving aid and comfort, in
various ways, to the insurrection.. Now,
therefore, be it ordered.
1. That during the existing insurrection,
and as a necessary measure for suppressing
the same, that all rebels and insurgents,their
aiders and abettors, within the United States
dd all persons discouraging volunteer enlist
ments, resisting the militia draft, or guilty
of disloyal practices affording - aid and comfort
to the rebellion against the authority of the
United States, shall be subject to martial law,
and liable to trial and punishment by court
martials and military commissions.
2. That the writ. of habeas corpus is suspen
ded in respect to all persons arrested, or who
are now, or may hereafter during the rebel
lion, be imprisoned in any fort, camp, arsenal
military prison, or other place of confine
ment, by any military authority, or by the
sentence of any court martial or military
commission.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal, of the United

times. He then retired a few paces, wh a

Louisville, Sept 29.--There are inany con
flicting accounts of the shooting of General
Nelson by General Davis, About a week a
go Nelson placed Davis in: command of the
Home forces of this city. At, night Davis
reported to Nelson the number of men work•
ing in the entrenchments and enrolled far
service. Nelson cursed him for not having
more. Davis replied that he was a general
officer, and demanded the treatment Of a gen
demon. Nelson, in an insulting manner, or
dered him to report at Cincinnati, and told
him'he would order the provost marshall to
eject him from the city:
This morning, Governor Morton and Gen..
Nelson were standing near the desk of the
Galt House, when Gen. Davis approached
an d requested Go v. Morton to witness
the conversation between himself and Nelson.
He demanded of Nelson an apology for, e
can, being a littlodeaf, asked him to s
louder. Davis again demanded an apo ogy.
Nelson, denounced him, and Slayped him on
the face. Davis stepped back, clenched his
fist, and again demanded an apology.. Nelson
'slapped him in the face, and again denounced
him as &coward. Davis then turned away,
procurod.a pistol.from a friend,
,and followed
Nelson, who was going up-stairs. Davis told
Nelson to defend himself, and 'immediately
fired, the ball penetrating the left breast.
Nelson died-in about twenty minutes.—
Previous to expiring, lie expressed a wish to
see his old friend, Rev. Mr. Talbot, rector of
the Calvary Episcopal Church, who was - then
at the Galt House, and the latter adminis-,
tered the sacrament according to the forms
of his church; the General repeating the ser
vice after the minister, anti refusing to talk
on any other subject. He said - he regretted
that he. had not long_ago turned his attention
