csbnterian Yianuct. PITTSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 27, 18(32 The • War. The week just past has been one of the most important, as to events, since the com mencement of the war. The movement of the enemy into Maryland was in accord ance with popular demand at the South, rather than• from the judgment of Presi dent Davis and his leading military men; and, like most things undertaken in that way, it was unwise and has proved a loss. The force was abundantly adequate to tem sueees.s, had our forces been led by any other than a general of extraordinary ability. But permanent success could hard ly be hoped fur, by any one who would rightly consider the power of the North. The movements of General McClellan were, by some, regarded as slow. But much was at stake, and caution was a duty. It' he had kept an army before Washing ton, and hastened another to Baltimore, and another into Pennsylvania, as some would have advised, his forces would have been cut to pieces and captured by detail. By keeping them in a mass he was strong. And he so moved as to cover both Wash ington and Baltimore with the one army, leaving Governor Curtin to protect his own State; a task which he accomplished most nobly. Again, if McClellan had moved hastily into action, against such a foe as was before him, his fatigued veter ans and new levies would have been in great danger. By a moderate movement be was in position to check any effort of the enemy, in any direction. His wearied troops obtained rest, and his new troops became accustomed to their soldier duties. He thus got his men into a condition to ldure successive days of hard marching hard fighting. With an army thus in gorated, he approached the foe, and in Ides commencing on the 14th and coo -ming to the 18th, whipped the enemy ek and back till he drove him out of :ryland. • The loss of life has been great on both les. The killed and wounded of the leral force were about 15,000, of whom iut 2,500 were killed. The rebel loss in the hard battles of Sun and Wednesday, was probably not much rater than ours; but their whole loss, in .led, wounded, prisoners, deserters, and ;k left behind, could not have been less 4n 25,000. The battle of Wednesday (17th) was by the most severe of the series, and per ;s, of the whole war. The rebels had in largely reinforced. Our surrender of ,rper's Ferry enabled them to bring ,000 fresh troops against McClellan, is swelling their number to about 120,- men. They had chosen their position made their stand. Gen. McClellan . also received some additional troops, d had advanced, on Tuesday evening, 7 near the enemy's lines, where he halt and rested for the night. The battle i fought on the bills of the Antietam !ek, from which stream it is to have its le; Antietam. Our line extended four tes. As the enemy chose his ground, had greatly the advantage- of position. 1. Hooker led our right. On Tuesday dug he had some severe skirmishing, which he captured several of the ene 's guns; and in the morning of Wednes the fight opened with the dawn. raker was aided byGens. Meade, (with Pennsylvania Reserves,) Ricketts, tbleday, Hartsuff, Richardson, edg ;k, Dana, French, Mansfield, Gordon, awford, Slocum, Smith, and Sumner, the .er of whom took command when Hooker wounded so badly as to be obliged to , c the field. The battle on this wing from early dawn till late in the day. field was captured by our troops, lost, then re-captured, then lost, again, then retaken, when it remained in our Is. So fierce and determined was the .est, that the victory swayed with each oval or new troops. Our left wing was commanded by Gen. •oside, with 20,000 brave men. The there did not become severe till about o'clock P. M., after which, till sundown, raged tremendously. It then ceased by ',nal consent., our men holding the ge over the creek, and having made ,fight advance. The centre was commanded by General where the battle was not quite severe as it was on the wings. General -ter commanded the reserve, which was brought into the main action. Geueral McClellan directed the battle to nu eminence in the centre, where he easily accessible, where he could see di of the field, and from which position could direct the main movements by sig ;;. We have conversed with a clerical cher, whose curiosity led him to the le-field, arid who succeeded in getting ) the company of the General's Staff. heard the whizzing of balls, and saw bursting of shells, but interest rose ,:.,all sense of danger. He spoke of whole scene as awfully sublime and d. His own, strong but rather hyper. expression was : " To witness it was life•time." e whole was a victory, but gained at cost, and still leaving the enemy in power. The armies slept, ours on attic field, and the enemy's near it xpeetation at night was ; that it would iewed in the morning, The morning, er, brought a flag of truce from the for leave to bury his dead. This ranted, to some extent, and men who ay previous had been engaged in the est strife, commingled freely in com e to the earth the victims of the that night (Thursday) the enemy hay strong 14keta before our lines, fell hack with lids main army, and on Friday erosseil into Vir;iinin, and planted strong batteries to prevent our troops from crossing in pursuit. Thus ended his campaign of invasion. it was short, unsuccessful as to the end designed, and severe in its losses. We hear many regrets that he was suf fered to escape. All of us wish that he had been captured or destroyed ; but still, we have great reason to be thankful that he was not permitted to destroy us ; thankful that he is whipped, and driven from our soil. We contend against a foe, so numer ous, brave, determined, and skillful, that we must not expect an annihilating victory. Letter writers said he was in a trap, and surrounded. But it will be no easy thing to entrap Lee, and Jackson, and Long street. They will not cuter a trap. They will not risk a battle in a posi tion where there is no retreat. If God had sent a sudden. flood in the Potomac, and kept the river up for a few days, we might have had the whole rebel army. Or if Miles - had been brave and trustworthy, and held Harper's Ferry and its bridges ; or if' Heiutzelman and Sigel had moved their corps up the South side of the Po tomac, we might have.captured.our enemy. But God did not choose, just then, to give them to us., Let us be thankful that he gave us a victory, and drove our foe from our soil. The surrender of EIAR.PER'S FERRY, by Geu. (or Col.) Miles, was a great loss, and a shame. He had a very strong position and 11,000 men; and reinforcements were near; and his loss in fighting had been small. Treason is strongly charged. We rather charge it to drunkenness. After the old Bull Run affair, be never should 'have had a command. The President is to blame; or Gen. Wool, in whose Depart ment he was. He was mortally wounded by a shell, after he had raised the white flag, and died in a few hours. Col. Ford who had charge of Maryland Hights, over looking Harper's Ferry, is also much blamed, for surrendering his position. Surrenders and surprises ought to be most signally punished. A surprise never should occur; and a surrender but seldom —never, except when men are shut up in a fortification, or hemmed in by an impas sible water or mountain; and mostly a pru dent officer can prevent his being assailed in a situation whence there is no retreat. The promptitude with which Pennsylva nia sprung to arms, is both gratifying and instructive. Notwithstanding the immense numbers she had previously sent forth, the call of her Governor is responded to by 80,000 new volunteers, who are ready to move at a moment's notice, and 'many of whom were, in less than two weeks, organ ized and on her frontier, ready to repel the foe. Happily they were not needed in bat tle, the enemy being checked and repulsed by the regular army. But the event indi cates the country s strength. Freedom's soil produces ready defenders. Matters in KENTUCKY and TENNESSEE, are still threatening, though the aspect of affairs rather brightens. -Gen. Rosecrans has obtained a partial victory, near Cor inth. Gen. Buell is watching Bragg. Gen. Morgan has obtained supplies which may enable him to hold Cumberland Gap. And forces are being collected which will shortly enable our Generals to again clear Kentucky, and possess the whole of Ten nessee. So we hope. Just now Louis ville is in imminent danger. The enemy looks with longing eyes to NEW ORLEANS. Gen. Butler is considered as being able to hold it safely. The MISSISSIPPI RIVER we still hold, but not perfectly. From Baton Rouge to the Yazoo, we can navigate it only with our iron clad gunboats. A large land force cooperating with the fleet, is indispensable to the capture and holding of the batteries at Vicksburg and on other bluffs. Let that work be thoroughly done this Autumn. Our IRON-CLADS are destined, soon, to play an important part in the war opera tions. The fronsides is now added to the Monitor and Galena. The Roanoke is nearly ready. And some half dozen new Monitors of greatly - increased power, will be afloat in a few weeks. With these the whole of the fortifications on the Atlantic and Gulf Coast can be taken. This will add to the effectiveness of the blockade, and will relieve many of the vessels now on blockade duty, so that they may be em ployed on the rivers, and carry the war in to the interior, is many places. Our WHOLE FORCE ought to be employed at once. The enemy will put forth all his, and will persevere till he is thoroughly conquered. Let the work be done.

Debate in the Rebel Congress. The Richmond Whig publishes a debate in the Rebel Congress on the subject. of the invasion of 'the North. A committee had presented the fol lowing : Resolved, That Congress has heard with pro found satisfaction of the triumphant crossing of the Potomac by our victorious army, and, assured of the wisdom of that masterly movement, can repose with entire confidence on the distinguish ed Ellin of the commanding general, and the valor of his troops under favor of the Great Ruler of nations to achieve new triumphs, to -relieve op pressed Maryland, and to advance our standard into the territory of the enemy. Mr. Lyons, of Va., moved to strike out that portion of the resolution which refers to the ad vance of our standard into the enemy's country. Mr. Miles, of South Carolina, said that the whole country had literally rung with the cry for the onward movement; the press had been loud in, he might almost say, denunciations of our of ficers for not pursuing the aggressive policy. And now that it was commenced, there ought to be some general expression of opinion, with the greatest warmth of which we are capable, of our hearty cooperation in pursuing the enemy to his confines, and with strong arms plucking fortune from the enemy's soil. This is but approving of a plan, which it will be an honor to carry out, and which he believed was the wish of the people of the country- Let Congress, if needs be, pan der to public opinion, if they will so term it, but carry the war into the enemy's country ; let them bleed and let them feel the horrors of war. Mr. Lyons approved of the thanks to General Lee He approved of the passage of the Potomac into Maryland, but there lie must stop in his ap probation. Mr. Miles said, it is the determination of the the people of the Confederate States to retaliate, to free themselves, to drive their oppressors back to their own territory, and let our swords gleam and our banners float over their soil; make them bleed, and strike the dagger to their hearts. We do not propose a war of conquest, but we do pro pose a war of invasion. I do believe it as the true policy of the war to strike wherever you find a weak point within your own limits or on the soil of the enemy. Mr. Lyons. Do you believe that we could safely go into the heart of the North ? Mr. Miles. I say promptly, yes! I was told by a general, for whose opinion I know the gen tleman from Virginia has a high regard, that give Jackson one-half of our present army, and although there were six hundred thousand men in the field, he would drive them all before him. I believe now is the time to strike the blow. The regular armies of McClellan and Pope are una ble to make one-fifth of the number they ought to be. blr Conrad, of Louisiana, bad hoped that the cry of "popular sentiment" would never be brought into this House. He hoped that no one representing popular sentiment would undertake to carry on the war. Mr. Moore, of Kentucky. Does the gentleman expect to carry on this war against popular sen timent? [Laughter.] Mr. Conrad. No; but if we allow politicians and gentlemen on this floor to carry on this war, defeat and disaster will inevitably overtake us. I do hope that popular clamor will not find its way into this hall. Mr. Ayer, of South Carolina. But now is the time to make the enemy suffer—to make them bleed and feel the iron heel of war. I believe we :tan do it—at least I am willing to make the experiment. We have battled long on our own territory, and now is the time to cease, and I speak the sentiment of at least my own constitu ents when I say, go into the enemy's country. By the foregoing sketch it will be seen that the Rebels had doubts of the propriety of invad ing the North. The policy however was ap proved by a very large majority. This will re lieve the President and the Generals, who were driven to the desperate movement by public clamor. Edgchill School The Rev. Messrs. Hughes and Cattell, Princi pals of the Edgehill School, Princeton, New Jersey, design completing the history of that Institution,. a part of which was published in 1854.

Dismissed crem Service. GENERAL ORDER..—Navy Department, Sept. 20. —Commander Geo. Henry Preble, senior officer in command of the blockading forces off Mobile, having been guilty of neglect of duty, in permit ting the armed steamer Ovicta to run the blockade, thereby not only disregarding article third, sec tion fourth of the Articles of War, which requires an officer to do his utmost to overtake and cap ture and destroy every vessel which it is his duty to encounter, but in omitting the plainest ordi nary duty committed to an officer, is, by order of the President, dismissed from the naval ser vice front this date. The commander of each vessel of war, on the day after the receipt of this published general order, will cause.it to be read on the quarter-deck at general muster, together with the accompanying reports, and enter both upon the vessel's log. • GIDEON WELLES, Sec'y of Navy. . Death of John S. Copley. Among the thousands of the good and brave who have fallen in defense of their country, few surpassed in 'noble qualities the subject of this notice. The reverberation of the rebel artillery at Fort Sumter had hardly died away until, abandoning a pleasant and profitable engage ment in one of our commercial houses, he, in com pany with many valued personal friends, enrolled his name as a volunteer in the defence of the Government, and formed the admirable organi zation known as the Pit tsburgh Rifles, and which became Co. A, of the Ninth Regiment of Penn sylvania Reserves. That regiment fought at Drainesville, and all through those terrible con flicts before Richmond, and in those near Manas sas ; and in the late battles in Maryland it bore a conspicuous part. It was here that Copley fell in the midst of a desperate conflict, which was crowned with a brilliant triumph—the battle of South Mountain. Immediately after the battles before Richmond, the officers oY the regiment forwarded to the Gov ernor a very high testimonial of his character for bravery and other good qualities, and strongly urged his promotion:; but ithas pleased God to promote him to a higher and better service ; for long before he enrolled his name in the service of his country, he had ertliAed in that of the Cap Lain of his salvation. He was a sincere and earnest Christian. The following extract, writ ten just after the battles before Richmond, breathes a spirit of affectionate piety, which leaves not a shadow of a doubt as to this phase of his character: " My dear mother, I write this to relieve you Of the anxiety which I know you must feel on my account. But, my dear mother, my trust is in God, who controls all things, and whatever happens is for the best. With a full reliance on my Saviour's purchased pardon, I hope, should I die, to be with him in heaven; and a few years' life in this world is of small 'moment compared with the joys of the world to come. So, my dear mother, do not be distressed if God should be pleased to call me away ; but cheer yourself with the hope of meeting me again. I know I have your prayers, and that they are not in vain. God is merciful, and does good to all those that fear him. Look forward to the happy meeting in that blissful home, where there are no trials or sorrows, and from which there will be no sep aration. Our life here is but of few years at most; that to come will be eternal. Good bye. May God keep us all very near to himself, and grant us an entrance into that eternal rest, through the merits of our Saviour." These words, written only for the eyes of one or two loved ones at home, may serve to reveal tlin..bright., inner Are never which , wa s °mute . tiously displayed before the world. He being dead, may now, without rebuke or wrong, b.: permitted to speak to a wider circle, and prove that. the holiest emotions may and do glow with intense ardor in crowded camps and amid the roar of battle ; and that such characters as Havelock and Hedley Vicars are not as rare as people generally imagine. Our Washington correspondent pays the fol lowing warm-hearted tribute to his memory : "We rejoice over the returning braves; the loved ones who are bearing the brunt of this fearful time, and let us also drop a tear to the memory of such noble souls as young Conley, the son of the excellent Josiah Copley, of Alle gheny. Ile was ever so kind, so quiet, so man ly, so noble. If ever pure blood was poured out on the altar of our country, if ever unselfish heart beat for the sorrows and struggles of fatherland; you find them here. I knew him so well—and I seem to see him now, as when I last pressed his hand, and be turned his -vigorous and cheery step toward the fated field! God rest him! This is but a poor tribute to a name that is precious to all who knew his manly worth."— Pitts burgh. Gazette.

CAPE RACE, Sept. 19.—The steamer Borussia, from Southampton an the 10th inst., passed off this point to-day at noon, and was boarded by the news yacht. The following later advices from Europe were obtained: The steamer Anglo Saxon arrived at Liverpool on the 10th, and the- Steamer Hansa at South ampton on the same day. From the uncertainty provailing in Eagland regarding the safety of the steamship Great Eastern, the underwriter's premium had gone up to 20 guineas at Liverpool. The Prince of Wales and Prince Albert had arrived at Brussels. The Archbishop of Canterbury and Earl Har rington were dead. The news from America by the steamer Anglo Sazon had not the slightest effect on Consols, which were quoted at 94@,931 for money, and 931®93,1 for October accounts. Loans were of fered on Stook Exchange at per cent. The Paris Pays sn.. S that. Spain has offered to send a contingent force to Mexico, but France would not accept the offer. France sends thirty thousand men thither. La France says the unity of Italy is impossible ; but. if it should be realized it would introduce a serious perturbation into European order, and all France would be compelled to demand com pensation from Italy and a change in her estab lished territorial limits, in order to guaranty herself against several of her powerful neighbors. On the French Bourse, Rentes were quoted at 69f 65c. The Montenegrins refuse to accept the condi tions offered by the Turks, and, taking advan tage of the present armistice, have instructed their representatives at Constantinople to de mand more favorable terms. During the confer ence, the Montenegrins have been fortifying Ceitinge, and transporting all their valuables to Cet taro. Omar Paella had recommenced hostilities. The Turks had set fire to the Servian portion of Belgrade, and the Prefects palace was in flames. They also fired on the inhabitants.

Dear lost one, ne'er again to us Will earth seem half so fair, As when thy bright and happy smile Beguiled our thoughts of care.

Ewing, of Indiana County, Pa. After an illness of about eight weeks, she calmly fell asleep in Jesus. A member of the Presbyterian church at "Ebenezer; a loving wife ; a most faithful mother ; a consistent Christian. Although permitted to live almost the allotted time," yet her loss will he deeply felt. The " house of God " was ever to her a sweet delight. The sentiment of her heart ever was, " I was glad when they said unto me, let us go up to the house of the Lord." The Bible.was her constant companion, and in her last years, when almost deprived of going to the "public assembly," her time was spent much in medi-, tating on God's Word. Her illness was of such a nature (being in the brain.) as rendered her insensible; thus depriving her friends of any direct testimohy from her lips, as to her pros pects beyond the grave. But we sorrow not as those who have no hope. Her life was most em phatically the life of the righteous. Her Chris tian counsel, her fervent prayers in behalf of the Redeemer's kingdom, as well as her ardent love for her. Saviour and the ordinances of his house, as shone forth in her daily walk and con versation, bear unmistakable evidence that she was one of Christ's own people, and that she is now joining in the anthems of glory around the throne of her Saviour. Yes ! rest, dear mother, the grave 'bath won thee. We would not cell thee back to this world of trials and troubles. You now realize the wish that you so often expressed in your favorite hymn : "I would not live alway, I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the pie way," &c.

Although not disposed to laver or recommend Patfmt q, diaries in general, through distrust of their ingredients and eff,cts; I yet know of no sufficient reason why a man may not testify to the benefit he believes himself to have received front any simple preparation, in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit of odium. I do this the more readily in regard to Hoofiand's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. Jackson, of this city, because was prejudiced against them for many years, under the impression that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. I am indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proper test - 3, and for encourage nicht to try them, when suffering from great and long con tinued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bodily Cad mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining. I tin ratite thank God and my friend for directing me to the use of them. J. NEWTON BROWN. PHILADELPHIA, June 23, ISM • BEWARE OF. COUNTERFEITS. See that the sigw.ture of "C. M.
