PITTSBURGH', AUGUST 30, 1862
The War.
Excitement has run high during the last
week ; and still, deep anxiety prevails. - As
soon as it was known by the rebels, at
Richmond, that Gen. M'Clellan had left
Harrison's Landing, they commenced for.
warding reinforcements to Gen. Jackson,
ut Gordonsville, in order to make a dash on
Gen. Pope before the army of the Potomac
could bring him any aid. Their movement,
.could be greatly more qatelc u than ours, in
that they had a railroad and a direct line,
while our forces were obliged to perform a
great circuit, part by land and part by
water. Their wisdom was to use the facil;
it , es of their position, and they seem well .
to have understood it. They immediately
assailed Gen. Pope's advance, beyond the
ipidun, and compelled a retreat, and fol
lowing on, forced him across the Ratipa
hannock also. And yet more, they hurried
forward their cavalry and light artillery as
far as Warrenton, and made sad havoc
with some of our railroad trains and hospi
tal stations, and also with Gen. Pope's and
Gen. MeDowell's supply wagons, horses,
and equipage. The enemy, it is said, got
p , ssession of all Gen. Pope's official papers,
his correspondence with Gen. Halleck, his
maps and' charts, and the whole plan of
the campaign. Reports have it that we
lost, in the various skirmishes, during the
retreat, about 600 men, and 100 horses.
This retreat must be exceedingly_
to Gen. Pope; he having made such
a boast when be set out. But it was a ne
cessity. Good generalship required it.
Possibly he should have fallen back Chile
or four days sooner than he did, and saved
the loss and disorder which attended the
operation under the pressure of the foe.
Information is, us yet, by no means minute.
Whether a farther retreat (the army was
along the Rappahannock,) would be need:
ful, was uncertain. It was not probable.
It may turn out that things are not so bad
as represented.
The enemy expressed great hopes of en
tering Washington. Vain hopes, we think.
Gen. McClellan, with a large part of his
army, had ascended the Potomac, and was
approaching the field of action. Heintzel
man bad reached Acquia Creek, and
other corps had proceeded up the river.
U unction of the armies of Pope and Mc-
Clellan was nearly effected, and would give
abundant strength to resist any force the
enemy was supposed to possess.
New recruits are arriving rapidly at
Washington, and being put in position
where they may be trained, and may be
called into action if needed.
The President and Horace
Greeley.
Mr. Lincoln has introduced some novel-.
ties into the etiquette of Chief Magistrates;
and among others, that of responding to
individual and newspaper addresses relative
to his policy. This may be right, pro.
vided there is very great caution exercised,
and provided superlative wisdom directs
the answer. " A word fitly spoken " is
very good; but on the part of the Execu
tive we would prefer that very little should
be said, only when giving official utter
ances.
Horace Greeley, in the Tribune of Au
gust 20th, addresses a very long letter to
the President, in which be strongly, objects
to the President's administration of public
affairs. We regret the oppositinn, in this
perilous. time
,for the country, of so infin
entiara,papjar as the 'Tribune; and yet it
may be well that that opposition has now be
come operitaini declared. Mr. Greeley em
barked in the advocacy of Mr. Lincoln's
election. with , great zeal, , and, doubtless,
with great hopes. But he re,cerved no
prominent position. He had 'even the
mortification to find Mr. Seward, a politi
cal opplment, Placed in, the second seat.
He has ever since been but a " cool friend"
of the President, and has given' to his ad
ministration,itut " faint praise." Know
ing ones thoright,:.they could see the ink
lings or a determThed -opposition, carefully
covered up, but not entirely hidden. Now
it comes to the light. ,
Mr. Greeley styles ,his letter, " The
Prayer of Twenty Millions." This is a
monstrous exaggeration. Some of the sen
timents are shared in by a large ma
jority of the men of the North, oth
ers by many, and others by only a
very few. And we would trust the
number is exceedingly small who ap
prove of what tends to distract public senti
ment, and discourage recruiting, and weaken
the power of the Executiv e , at such a day
as this. We give a brief specimen' of the
letter :
You must know already, that a great
proiortion of those who triumphed in y our
election, and of all who desire the unquali
fied suppression of the rebellion now deso
lating our, country, are, sorely disappointed
(end deeply pained by the policy you seem
To be pursuing with regard, to the slaves of

re l We require of you, as the first servant
of the republic, charged especially and
preeminently with this duty, that you exe

DEMAND that such laws as have been re.
ceutly enacted, which therefOre.may fairly
be presumed to embody the present will
and to be dictated by the present needs of
the republic, and which, atter due consid
eration; have received your personal sanc
tion, shall'bY you be carried into full effect,
and 'that you ;publicly and decisively in
struot your subordinates that such leis ex
ist, that they are binding on all functiona
ries and citizens, and that they are to be
obeyed to the letter.
We think you are strangely and disas
trously remiss in the discharge of your offi
cial and imperative duty with regard to:the
emancipating provisions of the new. confie-
Cation.
We complain that the Union cause has
suffered, and is now suffering immensely,
from mistaken deferent* to rebel slavery.
Ead au, sir, in your inaugural address,
untnixtilkul4 given, notice that, in case the
rebellion already commenced were per
sisted in, and your efforts to pres' , irve the
Uniini and 'enforce the laws should be re
sisted by armed force, you would recognize
no loyal person as rightfully held in slavery
by a traitor, we believe the rebellion would
therein ,have received a staggering if not
fatal blow. * * * Had you then pro
claimed that rebellion would strike the
shackles from the slaies of every traitor,
the wealthy and the cautious would have
been supplied with . a - powerful inducement
to remain loyal.
The President comes out in response as
follows.:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, 1
WASHINGTON, Auguit 22, 1862. j
Hon. Horace Greeley :—Dear Sir : I
have just received yours or the 19th inst.,
addressed to myself; through the New-York
Tribune.
If there be in it any statements or as
sumption4 of facts which `I May know to
be erroneous, I do not now and here, con
trovert them.
If there be any inferences which I may
believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now
and here argue against them. If there be
perceptible m it an impatient and dictato
rial tone, I waive it in deference to an old
friend whose heart I have always supposed
to be right.
As to' the policy seem to be pursu
ing," as you say, 1 have not mea..t to leave
any one in doubt. I would save the Un
ion. I would save it in the shortest way
under the Constitution. The sooner the
national authority can be restored, the
nearer the Union will be t , the Union as it
was.'
If there be those who would not save
the' Union unless they Gould at the same
time save slavery, I do not agree with
them.
If there be thoie who would not save
the Union unless they could at the same
time destroy slavery, I do not- agree with
them. My paramount object is to save the
Union, and not either to save or destroy
8 avery.
If I could save the Won without free
ing any slaves, I wou'ld' do it; and if
could save it by freeing all the slaves, I
would do it, and if I could save it by free
ing some and leaving others alone, I would
also do that.
What I do about slavery and the colored
race, I do because I believe it helps to save
this Union • and what I forbear forbear
because I do not believe it would save the
Union.
I shall do lass whenever I shall believe
what I am doing hurts the cause, and I
shall do more whenever I believe doing
more will help the cause.
I shall try to correct errors when shown
to be errors, and I shall adopt new views
so fast as they shall appear to be true
views.
I have here stated my purpose according
to my view of official duty, and I intend
no modification of my oft expressed per
sonal wish, that all men every where could
be free. Yours, A. LiNcuLti.
We doubt whether the President should
have taken any notice at all of the letter.
It is pretentious, and it might have been
left to the fate of similar pretentions,
which will'always abound in a land of free
dom, and which freemen generally know
well how-to appreciate.
The President has not moved as rapidly
in confiscation and emancipation, as soma
have desired. But there is a responsibility
resting upon him. If Mr. Greeley were in
Mr. Lincoln's position he would, possibly,
be just as slow and cautious. Mr. Lincoln
is not now the partisan. He is at the head
of the nation—the whole nation—and
charged with the welfare of the whole.
He is bound to preserve the nation's unity,
and the individual rights of the people, in
every part of our vastzempire. He is
bound, as being constitutionally chosen
President of 'the UNITED STATES, to seek
the welfare of the whole' country, and to
preserve and secure, to the utmost of his
ability, the legal rights of every human
being therein. To this 'he,has pledged his
solemn oath. The loyal citizen of Mary
land or Kentucky has just as good a right
to a full protection, as has Horace Greeley,
a loyal citizen of New-York. And so of
the loyal citizen of every State.
And Mr. Lincoln has as deep an interest
in accomplishing the great end in view, the
suppression of the rebellion and the en
forcing of the laws, as any other man can
possibly have. And he has information
beyond that of any other man, enabling
him-to judge of the means, sand the time,
and the manner of successful action.
The President is honest. He possesses
good common sense, and a very high de
gree of ability. He has selected his coun
sellors from among thef wisest i - most dis
creet, and most patriotic 'ram in the nation.
He and they devote themselves assiduously
to their work. They gather knowledge
from every quarter. If the people will
consent to sustain them, and to follow and
execute their counsels, all will be well.
The Union will be saved. They may not
save it in the shortest possible way; but
,they will surely save it. Heim% Greeley
:may have more wisdom than they all, but
'the people have not trusted Horace Greeley
with power; and he cannot transfer his wis
dom` What we want is union, for the sake of
the Union. After we get through with this
tronble, if Mr. Greeley can convince us, the
people; - -that he has far more wisdom than
Mr. .Lincoin or anybody erse, we will make
Mr. Greeley President, to guide us through
the next trouble. But for the present, as
Mr. Lincoln is in office, and must be our
leader for two and a half years yet, let us
sustain him, and in his sure way, though a
little tardily, let us end the•present conflict.
It is , a Christian duty, and
,wise alt3o, at
such a time as this, to sustain tha Govern
ment, avoiding all distraotions. It is. only

Death of Admiral Read.—Rear Admiral
George Campbell Read died at the naval
asylum, Philadelphia„on Friday morni n g,

prominent connexion with the grand histo

that is glorious in its past history, ever to
be forgotten.
Adwiral Read was a native of Ireland,
and entered the navy on the 2d day of
April, 1804 For upwards of fitly•eight
years, his name and fame and aspirations
had, therefore, been identified with its
progress and achievements. In that ever
memorable action between the United States
frigate Constitution and the British frigate
Guerriere, his gallantry was too conspicuous
to escape honorable recognition,
and he was
designated by Commodore Hull to receive
the sword surrendered by Dacres. In fur
ther consideration of his many services, he
was promoted on the first of the present
month to the rank of rear admiral. He
was, therefore, with the exception of Com.
Charles Stewart, (also of Pennsylvania,)
the oldest officer in the United States uavy.
National Debt-Presuming that the debt
and liabilities of the United States will be
eight hundred millions of dollars at the
cotnmeucement of 1863, it will then be less
than one-fifth of the national debt of Etig
land, less than one-half that of France, and
about one-half that of Austria.

A. Destructive Battery.
The 108th regiment N. Y. Volunteers, recently
raised, has an artillery company of 150 men at
tached, who are to have a new weapon, which is
thus described:
"Each gun is capable of discharging two hun
dred bullets per minute,with entire accuracy, at
a range of oue to one and a half miles. Ten of
these guns will constitute the battery. A wealthy
and patriotic citizen of Rochester, &Ir. A. Cham
pion, furnished these guns, including twenty
horses, two for each gun, at his own individual
expense." •
If the battery shall prove as efficient in action
as it is here described,-Capt.-Mack, the inventor,
will deserve a premium.
A Draft will by Nrcessary.
Some of our sanguine military men thought
that Allegheny. County would raise its full quota
of men-under both calls of the President. by
volunteering. The number comes far short.
The total number of volunteers from the county
we have not seen stated; hut of the three years'
men, only about half the number exPected have'
been regularly sworn in—that is, one thousand
and nine, by the 'United States officer at Pitts
burgh. From the neighboring counties 556 have
been regularly enrolled, and gone into camp.
Criticising Government.
Freedom of speech is not all suppressed at the
South. We see the Richmond Examiner thus
quoted:
4$ The executive branch of the government has
depleted our armies and jeopordized our contest
by an easy toleration of desertion and straggling,
which have reduced our military force to an
alarming extent. It has trifled with the case of
the country ; it has ignored the death penalty in
our armies; it has negleoted its discipline,
winked at capital crime, emasculated' the war,
preached sick sentimentalism, and taught the
country the misfortune of being saddled with a
government that takes a monstrous and unnatural
pride in defying public sentiment, in treating the
counsels of the people with insolence and snub
bing advice with the air of autocracy."
This is about as severe as anything we find in
our own journals in censure of our Government:
Such diatribes, however, do no good. The Gov
ernment of Jefferson Davis is very effective.
Its energy is wonderful. Re has not done what
fanatical -civilians and newspaper generals
thought he should do; nor what: he himself
promised. The reason , was, because he had a
foe to meet. And so also our Generals have
come short, because there was an enemy before
thcm too powerful to, be driven back. Editors
are often valiant fellows with the pen. Let them
but enter the field, however, and see what is
there. They will likely meet obstacles they had
never dreamed of.
Important War Order.
WAR DEPARTMENT, ADM GENERAL'S OFTTOE,
WASHINGTON, Aug lb, 1862. -
General Orders. No. 107.-Ist. Officers of the
regular army will, as. a general rule, receive
leaves of absence to accept the rank of Colonel in
volunteer regiments, but not lower grades. Nun
commissioned officers and privates will be dis
charged on receiving commissions in volunteer
regiments.
2d. The oath of allegiance will not besadminis
tared to aoy person against his own will. It
must, in all cases, be a voluntary act on his part,
nor will any compulsory parole of Honor be re
ceived, but oaths taken and paroles given to
avoid arrest, detention, imprisonment or expul
sion are volunteer or free acts, and cannot be re
garded as compulsory. All persons guilty, of
violating such oaths or paroles will be punished
according to the laws and usages of war.
3d. The laws of the United States, and the
general laws of war, authorize, in certain cases,
the seizure and conversion of private property
for the assistance of transportation and other
uses of the army; but this must be distinguished
from pillage. The taking of property for public
purposes is•very different from its conversion to
private uses. All property lawfully taken from
the enemy, or from the inhabitants in an enemy's
country, instantly becomes public property, and
must be used and accounted for as such. The 62d
article of war authorizes the penalty of.death for
pillage or plundering, and other articles author
ize severe punishments for any officer or soldier
who shall sell, embezzle, mistpply, or waste mil
itary stores, or who shall permit the waste nr
misapplication of any such publio property. The
penalty is the same whether the offence be com
mitted in our own or in an enemy's territory.
4th. All property, public or ,private, taken
from alleged enemies, must be inventoried and
duly accounted for. If the property taken be
claimed as private, receipts must be given to such
claimants or their agents. Officers will be held
strictly accountably for all property taken by
them or by their authority, and must be returned
for the same as any other public propert-i.
sth. When foraging parties are sent out for
provisions or other stores,' the commanding Offi
cer of such party will beheld accountable for the
conduct of his command, stnd will make a: true
report 'of all property taken.
6th. No officer or soldier will, without author
ity, leave his colors or-ranks to take private prop
erty, or to enter a private house for that par
pose. All such acts are punishable with death,
and the officer who permits them is equally as
guilty as the actual pillager.
7th. Commanding officers of armies and corps
will be held responsible for the execution' of
these orders in their respective commands.

The Rebel Congress.
The rebel Congress met at Richmond August
18th. The Message.pf Jefferson Davis is much
in his usual style. We give a few extracts:
. Our army has not faltered in any of the various
trials to which it has been subjected, and thi
great body of the people have continued to man
ifeat a, seal and.unanimity which not only
,cheer
theliattle-stained soldier, but give assuranie;
the Monde of oonstitutional liberty of our final
triumph in the pending struggle against despotic
usurpation.
The immense army which threatened the capi
tal of the Confederacy has been defeated and
driven. from the lines of investment, and the en
emY,-repeatedlY foiled in his efforts for its-c ap ture, .is nosy seeking to raise new armies on a
scale such as modern history does not record, to
effect the subjugation of the South, so often pro
claimed as-on the eve of accomplishment.
' The perfidyrhich disregarded rights secured
by ockupaet; Cho inakinoce on which bbligitions
made sacred by every consideration of honor,
have been intensified by the malignity engen
dered by defeat. These passions have changed
the character of the hostilities waged by our en
emies, who are becoming daily less regardful of
the usages of civilized war and the dictottes of
humanity. Rapine and wanton destruction of
private property, war upon non-combatants,
murder of captives, bloody threats to avenge the
death of an invading soldiery by the slaughter
of unarmed citizens, orders of banishment against
peaceful farmers engaged in the cultivation of
the soil, are some of the means used by our ruth
less invaders to enforce the submision of a free
people to foreign sway. Confiscation bills of a•
character so atrocious as to 'insure, if exezuted,
the utter ruin of the entire population of these
States, are passed by their Congress and ap
proved by their Executive.
Retaliation, in kind, for many of them, is im
practicable; for I have had occasion to remark
in a former message, that under no excess of
provocation could our noble-hearted defendeis
be driven to wreak vengeance on unarmed men,
on women, or on children. But stern and exem
plary punishment can and must be meted to the mur
derers and felons, who, disgracing the profession
of arms, seek to make of public war the occasion
for the commission of the most monstrous crimes.
In connexion with this subject, I AM of opinion
that. prudence dictates some provision for the in
crease of the army. in the event of emergencies
not now anticipated. The very large -*reuse. of
forces recently called into the field by the President
of the United States may render it necessary hereaf
ter to extend the provisions of the conscript law, so os
to embrace persona between the ages of thirty: fine and
forty-fine years. The vigor and efficiency of our
present forces, their condition, and the skill and
ability which distinguish their leaders, inspire
the belief that no further enrollment will: be neces
sary, but a wise foresight requires that if a ne
cessity should be suddenly deieloped ;hiring the
recess of Congress requiring increased forces for
our defence, means should exist'for calling.such
forces into the field, without awaiting the re • PlS
sembling of the legislative department of the
government.
He concludes thus:
We have never-ceasing cause to he grateful for
the favor with which God has proteoted our in
fant Confederacy. And it becomes us reverently
to retuin our thanks and humbly to ask of his
bounteousness that wisdom which is needful for
the performance of the high, trusts whh.which we
are charged. JEFFEILSoN DAVIS.

Berdan's Sharpshooters.
Capt. 131rton went to Chicago two or three
weeks ago, with authority from Gen. M'Clellan
to recruit a company, or more if possible, for
Berdan's renowned rifle corps. His success, has
been immense, showing at a glance the popularity
of the corps, and the desire of our Western
marksmen to be "counted in." He has three
full companies recruited, and the fourth nearly

Sr. Lours, August 25.—The 'DeMocrot learns
that on Thursday last, Gen. Rosecrans, with
30,000 or 40,000 men, • proceeded Southwest
toward Jirntown. where about 15,000 rebels were
lying, under Armstrong. Gen. Price is at
Tupelo, on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad,-with
a force estimated at 25;000. It is probable that
on being threatened, Price and Armstrong will
combine and give Rosecrans battle. The with
drawal of the forces under Rosecrans will not
leave Corinth exposed, as enough remain for 411
emergencies. We shall have stirring news from
Gen. Grant's army in a few days.

Mr. Hall also discovered a real glacier and

The recent expulsion of newspaper oorrespon

CAPE RACE, August 23.—The steamship Hi-.

order of the Collector of Customs. Tier destina

A conference between the representatives of
the cotton growing countries and a deputation of
the Cotton, Supply Association, had been held in
London, where favorable representations of a
future supply were made.
Gen. Conchs had presented his credentials to
the Emperor Napoleon, as the new Ambassador

The moderate journals of Italy condemn Gari

Iris generally'believed that the 15th of Aug

against France.
Another correspondencebetween United States
Minister Adams and Earl Russel, was published.
Mr. Adams wrote in May, while Earl Russel's
letter is dated July 28. The Times characterizes
his remarks as dry and caustic.
The Times editorially indorses Mr. Roebuck's
late speech at Sheffield, as far as lecture to
the North is concerned, but 'totally dissents
from his arguments in favor of mediation, which
it considers-would do more harm, than good.
The Daily. News bitterly reproaches Mr. Roe
buck, and characterizes his course as the lowest
depth of moral degradation. It says, happily
4r. Roebuck's opinions have long ceased to have
the smallest value or interest for anybody but
himself. The article concludes by compliment
ing the American Government for its, friendly
and straightforward dealing with England, and
says nothing is wanting but a little generous
consideration toward the North to establish dun
ou ebly cordial and friendly relations between
the two countries:
The St. Petersburg Journal reiterates that the,
desire of the Russian Cabinet is to see the con
flict ended by prudent and honorable com
promise. Russia's desire is not to divide, but 'o
bring together and to reilnite adversaries who
ought always to remain brothers.

But a few years since, the same destroyer

'transplanted to a blighter w-trld. She bore a
lingering illness with Christian resignation, and
when her strength was fast' failing, asked an
aged father to pray for her, giving to her friends
the comforting aysurance that she trusted in the
God of her fathers.
