PITTSBURGH, AUGUST 23, 1862.
The War.
Recent roovenients of our armies are of
vast importance. The battle at Cedar
Mountain, Va., was more decisive in its
results than the first reports indicated.
The killed, wounded and missing were
about two thousand on each side, and the
battle terminated by the parties withdraw
ing a little distance from the field of strife,
to rest for the night. The next day it was
not renewed, and the day -following, the
enemy retreated, and was followed by a
portion of our troops to the Rapidan. The
enemy ham since been drawing reinforce
ments, largely, from Richmond. Gen.
Pops also is being , reinforced. There will
possibly be a severe battle at or near Gor
donsville. l'Qpe within less than twenty
miles of that place, and Burnside, at
Fredericksburg, is in the vicinity; and
Burnside has been strengthened by re
ceiving the Division of Seymour (Penn.
sylvania Reserves) from M'Olellan's army.
Gordonsville is a point of immense im
portance as a railroad centre. If we ,had
it, and Charlottesville, some twenty miles
from it, we would have the rebels out off
from the best source of their supplies.
These places being taken and held, our
armies might rest a month, awaiting cooler
weather and the new recruits.
There is' quite st . variety of opinion ex
pressed, relative to Gen. Pope, and the late
battle. Some praise him extravagantly;
others blame hitn severely. It becomes
the country to confide in him, while, the
Government entrusts him with an army.
No man 'is perfect. Our generals ire-all
inexperienced.
THE REMOVAL OF THE ARMY . OF THE
POTOMAC from Harrison's Landing, is a
noticeable event. The enemy thought he
had them there, and if he dare not 'assail
them, that he could prevent their egress,
till they would be wasted with sickness.
New recruits to strengthen the army he
knew could not go there till after the sickly.
season was passed, He is sadly grieved.
The whole'army, with all its stores, is re
moved in perfect safety. A portion is gone
to reinforce Gen. Pope. The main body
retired 'to Williamsburg, and thence to.
l'ortress Monroe. Whither thence is yet
a matter of conjecture. It may be another
trip up the York river and the ParnunkY,
and thence to Hanover Court House, on
the old road to Richmond ; or it may be to
Aquia Creek and Fredericksburg.
KENTIMIC:r is 'still subject to guerrilla
raids; hut her deliverance is near. The
Indiana troopi are pouring in, and Ohio
and Illinois will soon send aid. But a
vastly, important change has taken place in
Kentucky herself. Gov. Magoffin called
the Legislature together, in extra session,
thinking to work on them through the
present state of the slavery question. He
found, however, that the members,were, 'a
large majority of them, still sou,,d Union
Men. He therefore resigned. Mr. Fisk,
President - of the Senate, also resigned.
The Senete then elected J. F. Robinson, an
unconditional 'Union man, their President.
Mr. Robinson is thus acting Governor, and
Kentucky, is soon, we trust, to . be relieved
of maranders.

AT NEW OarisANS, Butler
finds occasion for hie.firmness and pru
,-
dence. Lately he had quite a contest (in
words) with Gen. Phelps. The latter with
a part of the army guards tbeland passage
between the river and Lake Pontchartrain.
He formed some eight hundred negroes
into companies, and asked Gen. Butler for
arms for them. Gen. B. declined, and:told
Gan. P. to employ the negroes in clearing
away some timber, which obistructed field
operations. Gen. P. replied that he would
net be a negro driver, and he tendered hisi
resignation: Gen. B. would not accept it.
He said Congress had passed an act to.em
ploy the negroes. Other Generals use d
them, and Gen. P., must obey orders. This
event, with the disbanding of Gen. Hun-
ter's negro regimeni i ett Port Royal, in&
egos that this people are not to be armed
• and used in `battle; atleast not till greater
difficulties press upon the country.
North Carolina.
Politics in this State, as ,relating to the
war, are' uncertain. Thetrwas a very
strong and long continued opposition to se
cession; and it is highly probable that
there is still in the State a condifional Un
ion feeling of, great power. If - the people
could only be assured that there:Would be
no. interference ,with their Constitutional
rights on the subject of slavery;,'snd if
they could be also assured of perfest,secu
rity from rebel raids, there would, we feel
confident, be a speedy return to allegispee.
A decided numifestation in this linewan
made at the late election. The eanditratei
Governor- were Johnson and Vaitce.
The,; canvass villa most calmest. J'ittnitki
is an out and out secessionist! Vance be
longed to the old Union party. He com
mands a regiment in the Confederate army,
but is suppesed to favor a return to the
Union on certainconditions. He was cho
sen Governor by a large-majority. The
Newburn (N. C.) 44.o:Oiess says of the
election :
" The final result. Si nee receiVing the in
telligence of, the defeat ,- Of Johnson, the
secession candidate for Governor, by the
unparalleled majority of 40,000, the glad
ten g s comes to hand just as we go to
p s, of the complete overthrow of seces
sion'' in` every< department of this State.
The Union opposition have elected nearly
every member in both branches of thelmg
islature by still greater majorities. Every
candidate who advocated a continuation of
the war and a separation from the Union,
has been defeated on a fair and square
issue, strictly of a political nature, with no
side or local :issue of ;any kind. Gov.
Stanley regards this vote as an emphatio
decision in favor of the Union."
The President and the Af-
r leans.
On the_afternogn of the 14th, the Presi
dent gave iudienceote the White House,
'to a committee of colored men who visited
him on the subject of
_colonization. Their
chairman, E. M. Thnines, remarked that
they were ready to heir what the Execu
tive had to propose. ,Mr. Lincoln made
',quite a long speech, alluding to the condi-
tion of the Africans '.in this country, and
the impossibility or their riaingin society—
the prejudices against them, the State laws,
80.—and he' urged them to "turn theii at.
tention to ColonizatiOn. He spoke of Hayti,
andof Liberia, and of „ a new colony which
he contemplated, in. Central America.
They agreed to take the matter into. con
sideration.
' This is quite a new feature in diplorriacy. -
-
The Piesident invites colored men to the
Executive mansion, talks to them, pleads
with them, exhorts them to accept a coun
try for themselves. The war is to 'make
immense and permanent changes. 'Ati
things will result the reverse of what were
anticipated. The intention of the conspi
raters ...was toi establish - tavery ; pit iiialkely
to he, destroyed. The North feared that if
slavery were destroyed, the blacks would
overrun them ; 'a far more- probable result
is, that the blacks will leave the North.
They do not love onr -climate. Some of
-them will emigrate. Others will go South,
if only freedom:is seepre; in -the' South.
Black skins will become scarce, in a cold
climate, very speedily, if only there is ac
cess to warm regions, and freedom, there.

By some mistake Allegheny 99u,O4.r.Yras pOted
for but , I;SOCV troops of the 300,090 •volunteers.
These she has raised. But she will have to raise
8,000 on the draft ordered, and 1,500 to fill up
the old regiments. This would make the requi
sition amount to 6,000 men for our county.
There are those who think that the whole will be
made up by volunteering. Arrangements, how
ever, are in progress for a &aft, in case of need.

This road has, for some months, had in use a

Soldiers who are Not Soldiers..
We regret the necessity for the following letter
of Gen. Fits John Porter. The Reserves have
done noblyin their country's service, and espe
cially in the hard-fought battles before Richmond.
But all are not soldiers who put on regimentals;,
and it is well to weed out the unworthy, and to
prevent timid and unreliable officers from geiting
into place a se:mnd time. Doubtless some of
the persons alluded to, are really worthy men,
but by untoward oireumitances find themselves
in an awkwark position. Such may yet estab
lish their Is4ith.

In no one ease has a resignation been accepted
of any officer (that of Cononel Taggart, 12th P:'
It. V. C., excepted,) whose services in any capacity
would be of, any benefit to the military arm of the
service. 1 beg, therefore, unless a .recommenda
tion be piesented to that effect by good authority
here, that no one of these officers be reappointed
in the regiments about to be raised, or any •old
regiments. Some have resigned on account of
bildieonditotiliefore the enemy, ind.to ,avoid ex
posure, Other are totally .clemoralized ; others
again; ara worthless, orlear further' contact with

and a part of Gen. Hindman's brigade. The bat
tle raged fiercely for some time, with destructive
effecton both sides, but resu'ted in the defeat of
the rebels and the capture of 700 prisoners. No
further particulars have been received.
southern Statements,
Our exchanges supply extracts' from Southern
pipers, in great profusion. It is but seldom that
we regard them worthy of space in our columns.
Sometimes we give an extract by way of a, sam
ple. Here is one :
Prom the Richniond Examiner; Auq. 12.
We received last night advises from the North,
which, though not so elate as that we publish in
another column, brings news of an important
character. The North, has at last. settled the
question of immediate drafting, andihe Secreta
ry of -War has issued an order for 600,000 more
men to "crush the rebellitin "-300,000 to be
raised under the recent call of Lincoln, and
300,000 more by a. draft of the militia. The or
der appears officially in the Northern papers, but
the circumstances under which we issue this
morning's paper forbid its pnblication:
The action of the Government-at Washington
had created the wildest excitement in the North,.
and the war feeling had greatly subsided in its
enthusiasm. _The opposition to the order was
not to be disguised. This order for a draft will
cause an immense reaction in the popular mind
of the North; and we shall await :the next news
from the North and Northwest with much in
terest.
Thus it is that they keep their-people deceived
and encouraged. 8o far from there being any
lack of volunteer recruits, the 300,0,00,is already
more than made, up; in most of the Biates ; ,and
all will be forthcoming. But it is not by re
ports, and on paper, that the enemy is to learn.
The men,must be in the field. October will like
ly show the enemy some of our energy.

Admiral Farragut, among which are the follow

"FLAG SHIP HAILITORD,
BATON Ronos, , Aug. 7, 1862.
Sir—lt ln 'one of the happiest, moments of my
lite, that I am enablid to inform the Department
of the destruction of the :ram Arkansas,. not be- .
cause I held the iron-clad in such terror, but be
cause the community did. On the 4th inst.,, I
sent the Tennesiee tio Baton Rougewith provisions
for Commander Porter and the gunboats station
ed at that - plaice: Oa the night of the sth she re
turned with information that. the ; enemy had
made a,. combined,attack on Baton. Rouge, by the
Rant and two gunboats, the Webb_ and Music, and
callink'for assistance.
At, daylight, the Ilartford was 'under weigh for
this place, with orders , for, the other vessels to
follow me as fastos - they got ready. I arrived
here, to-day at - 12 M., incompany with the
Brooklyn, West,fild i Clinto n ,''nJackson and Scioto.
I had sent the'Cayuga, up before me, agreeably to
a-request of Gen:2Butler, in consequence of 4he
guerrillas firing into some of his transports. ,
Ou,my arrival, I= was informed by commander
W. D. ,Porter that yesterday morning at .two
o'clock the enemy's forces under Gen. Breakin
ridge, attacked Gett. droie In his Pick
etc.k General Williams having had amPle
warning, all was ;prepared for him The ifight -
Was continued with great energy on both sides
until ten e'plock P. M., by which time the enemy,
had been driven beck two or three miles. But,
unfortunately the gallant Gen. Williams," While'
cheering on his men,- received` a kinnie 'ball
through the heart. c
Gen., Williams had informed Lieutenant Com
mending Ransom, the evening before, of the
plans, and requested him not to fire "a gun until
he notified him, and When he did so; our gun
boat% Moro an'dEatandin opened with fine effect,
throwing their shells directly in the midst of the,'
enemy, and producing great dismay, and confu
sion among, them. Lientenant Ransom had an
officer on the State House, which overlooked the
adjacent country, and' could direct the fire of
every shell. • '
As soon as the enemy were repulsed, Com
mand.er Porter went up t.he .stream after the ram
Arkansas, which was lying about five miles
above, apparently afraid to take her share in the
conflict, according to'the preconeetited plan. As
he came within gunshot, he opened on her and
probably soon disabled some, of her machinery
or steering apparatus, for she became unman
apable, continuing, however, to fire her guns at
the Essex.'
. _
Commander Porter says he took advantage of
her presenting a weak • poiht toward him,- and
loaded a gun with incendiary shells. After..his
first discharge of this projectile, a gush of fire
came out of her side, and from that moment it
was discovered 'that she was on fire, whieli he
continued by his exertions to prevent from being
extinguished. They backed her ashore, and
made a line fast, which was burnt, and she
swung off into the river, where she continued to
barn until she blew up, with a tremendous ex
plosian. Thus' ended the career of the last iron
clad ram of the Mississippi. •
There were many;persons on the banks of the
river witnessing the tight, in which they antici
pated a triumph, for secession, but on the return
of the Baser not a' soul was to be seen. L will
leave a sufficient force of gunboats here to sup:
port the army, and will return to-morrow to
New Orleans; and depart . immediately -for- Ship
Island with a light heart, that I have left no bug
bear to torment the communities of the Missis
sippi in my absence.

New Yoax, Aug. 14.—The adviees from Port
Royalistate that=the negro brigade provad to'be
a failure and has been disbanded.
A fugitive contraband, who arrived at Port
Royal, elated that there were only 2,000 rebel

was a mere floating battery, of little power, , ear..
'vying tight guns, and its officers were afraid to

Intervention, the cotton supply, and the suffer
ing of the operatives, are great themes in .Bng-
Islid. The Liverpool shippers-have been engaged.
much in 'furnishing supplies to' the South. To
thiS end they fitted up amumber of fast steamers,
on which they, from time to time, shipPed.arms,
ammunition, and such other things as the South
most wanted. These vessels were, and-still are,
dispatched to Nassau, a British port in the
Bahamas, and not many , hours' sail from our
Southern ,coast. Some of them land their car
goes, to be again shipped in very small vessels,
so as to get into rebel harbors, where the water
is too shallow for our cruiserS. Others attempt,
trusting to their superior swiftness, to run , the
.blockade directly.. .A few succeed, others are
captured. The shippers, on the whole, suffer
great losses.
In seeking relief, these trespassers s upon neu-'
Utility lately made au appeal. to Lord Russel,'
setting forth great "grievances, and asking the
to interfere for their pretection.
Lord Russel responds very briefly, but perti
nently: If They would avoid loss they must cease
the traffic.
The London Times editoiially argues that if
England wishes'to give the Federate a new im
pulse, she has but to take some step' which can .
be represented as interference, and President:
Lincoln "will soon get his 300,000 men, and the
chance of peace be indefinitely. ppstponed.
The Daily Nein anticipates, that, if the, cotton
dearth lasts till Christmas, Parliamentary provi-,
sion for the relief of distress will not suffice to ,
meet exigeneick.
The Journal de St. .Petersbury denies the rumor
that Russia had joined ; Fiance in a proposition
from England for recognition of the South.
In the House of Lords, Lord Stratherden,
moved for the correspondence with Mr. Mason
relative to an acknowledgment of the Southern
States.
Lord Russel said it was not expedient to pro-,
duce the pipers. The agent of the Confederate
States was not recognized, and all communica
tions were unofficial: •
A : correspondence had taken place, with• Mr..
Adams, and. Mr. Seward, but the ,Britiali. Govern 7
merit replied as before. He would state that no
communications had - been received from anY for
eign power, relative to the recognition. of the
Southern States. . .
Earl M.almsbury suggested: that the Govern-.
metat should, communicate with. other powers,.
with a view of offering mediation, if a favorable
opportunity arose.
A letter writer from England says:
‘, The statesmen of England are surrounded
by difficulties. If cotton' is not king,'itmust lie
allowed to be's hard subject. . 'lt is one that is
causing Europe great tribulation. The :state of
the case is this. .So long as there is a probabil
ity that the war in America will come to an
end in three or five years, no other 'country will
attempt. to supply the mill ' s of Europe with cot
ton. The mill owners will noLrisk their capital
in such' 4competition. goyeinment guarantee'
would be no inducement, because the American
cotton, whenever it comes, would ruin them.`
There is no use in differential duties.
.It would'
only send. Cheaper cottom'to France, Belgium,
and Germany:• There isom way but to' feed a
million or more' of people, and let the'war come
to an end, or try to hatitcalt.
"-There. is a rumor of a general mediation, in
which Russia, as the least interested party, .and
the most friendly, takes, or has tliken'the
But what is mediation ? If it proposes to end
the war without. the result for which it was made
being attained, it is hostile,to the Federal Gov
ernment No one proposes a mediation which
shall recommend the submission of the South.
In any Case,,it will be the No'rtif which is -called
upon to abandon its pretensions. Mediation,'
then, is the:abandonment of neutrality.. Media-.
tion is an, intervention in favor, of the rebellion.,
Intervention, in any form, means the permanent
dissolution of the Union, and that, Vpresutne,
Mr. Lincoln's Government will .resist to the last
extremity. There can .be no , mediation, there-=
fore, without intervention by force:• If it come
at all, 'or is proposed, it.will.he,only as the, first
step to the recognition ;:of Southern Independ
ence.. That will 'come now, in a certain; c'ontin
gency. If the 300,000 voliyiteers called for , •by
the Government , are promptly raised, and the
credit of the Government sustained in its finan
cial as well as military efficiency, intervention
will be indefinitefiiostponed. Or if the Gov
.
ernment gives a 'demonstration of its Power by
a successful conscription,' it will have the same
effect" , , • ,
There was a report,prevalent that a marriage
is on the ,tapir, for.,the Prince of Wales. Two
ladies are mentioned for him—one, of Denmark
and the' other of the Royal family of Prussin. ,

LATER
+Our latest Eurapean dates are to Aug. 9th.
Parliament had'adjourned. fxraitvEsitox in
our national affairs is now deferred, moat likely,
for a considerable time. Reports from the Em-,
peror Rapoleon, as to this subject, are contradic
tory; but in England, the policy of non-inter
vention is faxed, for a time. The . Queen, in her
speech proroguing Parliament, said:
',Civil war, which for some time , has been
raging in America, has unfortunately continued
itrunlibited intensity, , and the'ivile 'with 'which
it has heerti attended have not been Confined to
the American dentintint; 13th Her Majesty, hair-
ing from the outset determined to take no part
in the contest, hae seen no reason to depart from
the neutrality which she has steadily adhered to."
Lord Palmerston in speech delivered at
Sheffield, again advocated non-intervention in
American affairs.
Mr. Roebuck also made a speech, but took an
opposite view from that of Lord Falmersion, and
urged the olaime of the Seutherrnonfederacy to
be such as entitled them to a recognition by
England as l an independent government.
Another account is that the rebelFi' convoys at
Paris and London had demanded the recognition
of the Southern' Oonfederaoy. It is said that
England refused the demand, but France had not
yet replied.
One says: .Tohn Bull has taken his slate, and
is busily Calculating which will cost the most, to
feed his' people and' bear the derangement of
commeroe and loss of revenue, or to step in, with
what help he can get, and end the war hat is
likely, one way or other, to be his ruin. When
he haS done the sum, he will let.you know.

the subject;of this notice "came to' the grave
.
in full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in

outer man, which
,glows only fern little season,
but of the inner , man—the development of the
work of
,grace in the heart, unahanging and un
changeable as its pivine Author. From the,mo
ment when, in the exercise of true." faith, he
said, " my Beloved is mine," he ever, regarded it
his, highest :privilege to add,. ",and T. am his." ,
His life was distinguisheil by,a; pious, devoted-'
ness to the cause of Christ. The service of God,
in his famil"-and, , the Sanctuary, always
afforded. him :suprime delight. Of his'earthly
substance he. contributed; to the support of - the
Church with great liberality. :Unostentatious imt i

and devoted citizens ; the Mural, a liheral sup

During his protracted illness, which was .at

God. A short time before his death, be called
