The War.
Why is the army of the Potomac idle ?
This question is often asked in this rest
less, go-ahead clay. We answer, Ist, there
is a physical necessity for time in which
the human frame shall recuperate, after
long and wearying exertion ; 2d, the army
is not sufficient in numbers to advance
suddenly and safely into an enemy's coun
try in the face of his opposing forces; and
3d, there may be something better than to
follow him just where he chooses to lead
us. Stay-at-home people, living at ease,
must have some patience, and must repose
some faith in those who have the fighting
and the dangers, and the knowledge of the
situation, and the responsibility of man-
aging affairs.
The army of Gen. M'Clellan occupies
Harper's Ferry, and the North bank of the
Potomac, up to Williamsport. Small bodies
occasionally pass into Virginia and make
some captures. The army of Gen. Lee has
its centre at Winohoater.
Reconnoisances were made from Wash
ington to Thoroughfare Gap, Manassas, and
Warrenton. Gen. Sigel occupies Warren
ton in force. The railroad is used by
us as far as Manassas Junction. The ene
my is repairing the Rappahannock bridge ;
bat between that river and the Blue Moun
tain be has no large force.
Several of the States have raised, by
volunteers, their full quota of the 600,000
men lately called for; but large numbers
of them are not yet forwarded to the seat
of war. They are awaiting arms and
equipments.
Xentuoky is still occupied largely by the
rebels, who are gathering provision and
forage, and impressing men into their
armies. No large battle has yet been
fought. Louisville is now safe. The
enemy slowly moves East, our armies
threatening him. A battle is daily ex
pected.
Cumberland Gap is firmly held by our
troops. This place is vastly important for
movements in Eastern Tennessee, which
we trust are not far distant. Nashville,
Donnelson, Corinth, Memphis, and nearly
all of West Tennessee, are safe still ; as is
also Helena, in Arkansas. (A doubtful
report has it that Cumberland Gap is evac
uated.)
South-Western Missouri is threatened
with trouble, though likely to be well pro
tected.
The Administration of Gen. Butler, in
New Orleans, preserves that city in good
order. Life and property are more safe
than they had been for many years. Many
of the people have taken the oath of alle
giance. The colored soldiers, '1,700 in
number, are represented as learning the
drill rapidly, with much promise of use
fulness.
We should rejoice to have no more of
battles and slaughter to record, provided
battles were' not needed ; but inasmuch as
the rebellion is still in its vigor, and the
country's life is endangered by it, the
means of safety and peace are battles and
victories.
An Interesting Incident.
' The steamboat Gallatin brought down
from Brownsville, Pa., to Pittsburgh, last
Saturday, neaily a hundred young men of
preene County, Pa., who have volunteered
-.)
for three years' service in the army as a
ortion of a troop of cavalry. They look
ed like fine material for soldiers—young,
ively, active, and strong. They have evi
dently been acoustomod to hard work, and
they all kriow how to handle a horse. On
way down, Major STOCKTON collected
these young men (and all the . passen
.s, joined them,) in the large saloon of
steamer, and requested the Rev. Dr.
inn, of New-York, who had been pay
; a visit to his friends in Fayette County,
address them. This request the Doctor
ierfully complied with; and for half an
tr held their attention whilst he stated
.y incidents relating to wars in Europe
modern times, and anecdotes of distin
;hed
gen erals ;whom he had seen.
n conclusion, Dr. B counselled these
0. men—l.. To be attentive to their
n
,es as soldiers. Z. To fear God, and
their trust in Jesus Christ. 3. To
id profane and improper language. 4.
think often of their parents, brothers,
1 sisters. lie then invoked the blessing
God upon them in a short prayer.
Synod of lowa.
le Synod of lowa held its annual ses
, at Davenport, lowa, beginning on
niday, Sept. 'llth. It was opened with
mon by Rev. E. L. Belden, of Musea-
Moderator. Rev. J. L. Wilson, of
r2,h Grove, was chosen Moderator, and
Robert Carothers, of Tipton, Tempo-
Clerk.
attendance was not large, especially
of Ruling Elders.
le free conversation on the State of
ion within our bounds, revealed .a la
tble apathy and a general want of re
is fervor in our churches, our national
kents failing to turn our people's
unto God as they should do, but
g rather a contrary effect.
principal discussion arose upon an
re, making inquiry to meet a practi
le, how a member excommunicated
Session might be received again by
the Sessions belonging to different
teries. It was contended` by one
hat the person might be received in
the same manner as any other person from
the world, only by a strie,ter examination
and profession or penitence. But Synod
decided that jurisdiction in this ease rests
in the Session which exercised the discipline
with the consent or its Presbytery, and
that the member must be restored according
to the Directory for Worship, by the Ses
sion by which he was excommunicated ; or
if the member had removed to so great a
distance as. to render this impracticable,
then the Session which excommunicated
him might, with the consent of its Pres
bytery, transfer its right of jurisdiction in
the case to the Session by whom the person
desired to be received, which Session must
then proceed to restore him according to
the forms of the Book. This is a case un
provided for by our Discipline, but was
decided according to general principles in
volved in other cases provided for.
Dr. H. I. Coe addressed Synod in behalf
of the Boards, and Dr. C. O. Waters in
behalf of the army work of the Board of
Publication, eliciting much interest.
The following resolution was adopted :
Resolved, That the churches of our
Synod are hereby earnestly urged to make.
special contributions to our Board of Pub
lication, in behalf of its work among the
soldiers and sailors.
The Annual Report of Bowen Collegiate
Institute, under the care of Synod, shows a
flourishing year, the number of students,
however, being greatly diminished by the
war.
A committee appointed for the purpose,
reported resolutions sustaining the Gov
ernment, and calling upon our people to
confess their sins, and in humility and true
repentance seek the returning favor of the
Lord, whose hand is chastising us so se
verely; which report was unanimously
adopted.
The sessions were most harmonious; and
the religious services, including those of
the Sabbath, interesting and profitable.
Synod adjourned to meet in lowa City

Thanks for Deliverance
Governor Bradford, of Maryland, has issued a
general order of thanks to Gen. McClellan, his
officers and men, and to Gov. Curtin and the
Pensylvania volunteers, for their gallantry in
the speedy deliverance of Maryland by the ex
pulsion of her invaders.
Gen, Davis to be Court-Martialed—Rumored
Removal of Gen. fdial
LOUISVILT.Y., Sept. SO.—Gen. Jeff. C. Davis is
under arrest, and will be tried by a court
martial.
Yesterday it was rumored that Gen. Buell was
relieved from his command. The news created
much dissatisfaction among our State authorities
and prominent citizens, who have great confi
dence in Gen. Buell. We have reliable informa
tion to-day that Gen. Buell is still in command
of the Army of the Ohio.
Promotion from the Ranks.
The following has just been issued from the
Headquarters of the Army :
EMEZEI
From casualties in the battle-field, and from ab
sence by reason of sickness, many volunteer regi
molts have not a sufficient number of officers to
command them. It is important that vacancies
caused by deaths and resignations be filled with
the least possible delay. The Goiernors of the
several States are earnestly requested to fill
these vacancies by promoting officers, non-com
missioned officers and privates who have distin
guished themscives in the field, or who have
shown a capacity for military command. With
out the hope of promotion there is no encourage
ment for a faithful performance of duty, and no
stimulous to deeds of valor. Moreover, the dis
cipline and efficiency of an army depends, in a
great measure, on the character, and qualifica
tions of its officers. .Without good officers, the
very best soldiers soon become a mere military
mob, the inefficiency of which is increased by the
increase of its numbers

Official Report of the Battles of Sonth Moun
tain and Antietam.
NEAR SEIARPSBIIRep Sept. 29, 1:30 P. M.
To Maj.- General Halleck, General-in-Chief U. SA,:
GENERAL :—I have the honor to report the
fol owing as some of the results of the battles of
South Mountain and Antietam. At South Moun
tain our lass was :
Killed
Wounded
Missing
Total*
At Antietam our loss was
Killed
Wounded
Missing •
Total
Loss in the two battles....
The rebel loss 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 following estimate : 1
Major Davis, Assistant Inspector General, who
superintended the burial of the dead, reports
about 3,000 rebels buried upon the field of. An
tietam by our troops. Prior to this, however,
the rebels had buried many of their own dead
upon a distant portion of the battle-field, which
they occupied after the battle, probably at least
500.
The loss of the rebels at South Mountain
, cannot be ascertained with accuracy ; but as our
troops continually drove them from the com
mencement of the action, and as a much greater
number of their dead was seen on the field than
of our own men, it is not unreasonable to sup
pose that their loss was greater than ours. Esti
mating their killed at 500, the total rebel killed
in thetwo 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
6,000. The full returns will no doubt show a
larger number. Of these 1,200 are wounded.
This gives the rebels in killed, wounded, and
prisoners, 26,642. It will be observed that this
does not include their stragglers, the number of
whom is said by the citizens 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 Maryland.
From the time our troops first encountered the
enemy in Maryland, until he was driven back
into Virginia, we captured 12 guns, 7 caissons,
9 limbers, 34 colors, and 1 signal flag. We have not
lost a gun or color on the battle-field cit Antietam.
Fourteen thousand small arms were collected,
besides the large number carried off by the citi
zens, and those distributed on the grounds to the
recruits and other unarmed men after the battle.
At South Mountain no collection of small arms
was made, owing to the haste of the pursuit from
that point. Four hundred were taken on the op
posite side of the Potomac.

Major General . Commanding.
The New Policy
The citizens of Washington serenaded the
President, the second evening after his Procl
amation, when he made a short address, 118 fol-
an
Fem.ow-Crrizerts--I appear before you to do
little more than acknowledge the courtesy you
pay me, and thank you for it. I have not been
distinctly informed why it is, on this occasion,
you appear to do me this honor; though I sup
pose it is because of the proclamation. I was
about to say t supposed I understand it. What
I did, I did after a very full deliberation, and
under a very heavy and solemn sense of re
sponsibility. I ohn only trust in God, I have
made no mistake. I shall.make no attempt, on
this occasion, to sustain what I have done and
said by any comment. It is now for the country
and the world to pass their judgments on, and
may be take action upon. I will say no more
upon the subject. In my position lam pressed
with difficulties. They are scarcely so great
as the difficulties of those, who, upon the battle
field, are endeavoring to purchase with their
blood and lives the future happiness and pros
perity of their country. Let us never forget
them in the 14th and 17th days of the present
month. These have been battles bravely, skill
fully, and successfully fought. We do not yet
know the particulars. Let us be sure that in
giving praise to particular individuals we do no
injustice to others. I only ask you, at the con
clusion of these few remarks; to give three hear
ty cheers to all the good and brave officers and
men who fought these successful battles.
The President then bade the crowd-good night,
and withdrew.
After their visit to the President, the crowd
called on Secretary Chase, and on his appear
ance upon his balcony, they cried, light, light..
Mr. Chase responded :
My friends, all the light that you can have,
this evening, will be the light reflected from the
great act of -the President. [A voice ' "that's
light enough."] I understand that you have just
paid your respects to the Chief Magistrate of the
Republic, to assure him that the proclamation,
which he has recently issued, finds its echo in
the hearts of the American people: No one can
rejoice more sincerely in the belief that the
judgment which you have expressed of that act
will be the judgment of the whole people of the
United States, .
I am, fellow-citizens, better accustomed to'
work than lam to speaking. I love acts better•
than words. But, fellow-citizens, nothing has
given me more sincere pleasure than to say,
amen, to this last great act of the Chief Magis
trate. In my judgment it is the dawn' of a new
era, and although the act is performed under an
imperious sense of duty, created by military ca=
igences which give him power to perform it. It
is nevertheless an Mt, though necessarily bap
tized in blood, of humanity and justice. The
latest generations will celebrate it. The whole'
world will pay homage to the man who has per
formed it. . . _ .
You will excuse me, fellow-citizens. [Cries
of "Go on, go an."] if there is another ward
to be added to-night, it is this: That the time
has come when we should - bury all jealousies, all
divisions, all personal aims, - and all personal as
pirations in one common'resolVe to,stand.by.the
integrity of the Republic. [Great applausel

Let him have the most of our approbation and

or at. the head of the nation, or in the Cabinet,

For the Presbyterian Banner
Nerrittatowa Academy
Mn. Enrron :—Allow me to say that I was ex
ceedingly pleased with the examination of the
young men and young women of the academy
at Merritt stown, Payette County, Pa., last Thurs
day. This School has been in existence for
many years. It was gotten up mainly through
the efforts of Rev. Dr. Wilson, the excellent
pastor of the Presbyterian church of Dunlap's
Creek, and has been greatly sustained by his
fostering care. It has been blest with a succes
sion of able teachers. The present Principal. is
Mr. Ewing, who will be succeeded soon by Mr.
Sloan. Professor Black, now of Washington
College, was for several years at the head of this
School. The number of pupils during the schol
astic year which has just closed, varied from
ty to sixty.
This School has been a great blessing to the
neighborhood in which it is—enabling parents
for miles around to give their sons and daughters
a superior education. Quite a number of young
men have gone to the Colleges fron this School,
and many others have become better farmers,
mechanics and merchants, as well as more accom
plished and useful men, by reason of the train
ing which they received within its walls.
L was much pleased with the examination
which all the pupils underwent in the branches
of a thorough English education, and many of
them in the earlier books of a good course in
Latin and Greek. Wettope that this School will
long continue to flourish;-and that similar ones
may arise in many of the the larger and more
influential congregations throughout all Western
Pennsylvania. Why should it not be so ? En
ergy and perseverance will accomplish it.
Pittsburgh, Sept. 29th, 1862. R. B.
Washilitto4,
Sept. 26. —Surgeon-General Hammond, who
has just returned from the battle-field, gives us
the best estimates of our losses and those of the
rebels, that can in any way be considered relia
ble. He says the rebels left about 5,000 wounded
on the field, and from what he was able to learn
there, estimates the rebel loss at about 5,000
killed and 12,000 to 15,000 wounded. Our loss
he places at 1,200 killed, 6,000 wounded, and
800 missing.
Gen. Prince and other officers who were re
cently captured from the late army of Gen. Pope
have been released by the rebels.
The several hospitals here now contain over
.19,000' patients.. About 4,000 wounded, alto
gether, have arrived here since the battles in
Maryland, and were accommodated in the hos
pitals. More new hospitals will be opened in a
few days.
Major General Joseph Hooker, 'United States
Volunteers, has been appointed a Brigadier Gen
eral. in the regular army, by the President, as
an official recognition of his official services.
Gen. Hooker is a native of Massachusetts, and is
one of our ablest field-marsbals.
Our army captured over 25,000 stand of arms
and a number of cannon from the rebelS in the
late battles, in Maryland. Of the artillery, twen
ty pieces were of English manufacture.
All the prominent living officers connected
with the surrender of Harper's Ferry, including
Cols. Torn Ford, Quinbie and Daassey, and Gen.
White, are now here under arrest, to await an
investigation by Gen, Hunter's Military Commis
sion.
The long-continued efforts of the Western Vir
ginians to-get Gem Milroy returned to that de
partment, have at last been successful.
Information has been received from. the Corn
missioner of Indian Affairs, stating that the dif
ficulties with the Chippewas in Minnesota have
been adjusted; but he is fearful that the trouble
with the Sioux, in the same State, has just com
menced, and will be of long continuance.
The indications are that the Navy is likely to
have a large amount of active work on hands
very speedily. Whether Mobile, or Galveston,
or Charleston, be the point aimed at, it is certain
that our iron-clads are not likely now to remain
idle long. Increased
,activity is observable in
Naval circles.
Sept.3o.--Last night extensive military move
ments evidently commenced in the vicinity of
Washington, one body of 25,000 troops marching
in one direction and another body in a different
one.
Recently Gen. Stahl's brigade, being a part of
Sigel's corps, advanced to Warrenton Junction,
about forty-one miles from Washington, without
meeting the enemy ; yesterday they went to
Warrenton village, ten miles West, and there
made a large number of sick and wounded reb
els, together with a few conscripts, prisoners,
whom they paroled. Gen. Stahl continued his
reconnoissance to Salem and White Plains; but
found no rebels in that neighborhood.
A report prevailed at Alexandria to-day, that
Sigel's troops had captured all the engines and
cars which the enemy obtained from the wreck
at Bristow and Warrenton Junction.
The story published in the Philadelphia papers
this morning that rebel Peace Commissioners are
on their way to Washington, which may have
been telegraphed, is 'unfounded.

Serious Railroad Accident.
flannrseuno, Sept. 26.—This morning, about
7 o'clock, a horrible.railroad accident took place
on the Cumberland Valley Railroad, just beyond
the bridge crossing the Susquehanna river,
almost opposite the city.
A troop train of some twenty freight cars, con
taining the 20th Regiment Pennsylvania Militia,
including.the Corn Exchang Company and Reve
nue Guards, of Philadelphia, was on the way to
this city from Greencastle, where they had been
encamped for a few days.
The train was behind time and had been wait.
ing for a, train from Carlisle; but none coming,
the train proceeded.
The weather was very foggy, and it was with.
the utmost difficulty that objects cOul be des
cried along the track; butlevery thing d
went on
smoothly until within a mile of the bridge, when
the train came suddenly on an engine stationed
on the track.
The crash was terrible. Seven persons were
killed and forty-two wounded. The road was
operated by Government employees.

Garibaldi's health is said to be rather worse.
The Polish Nobles at Warsaw have adopted an
address offensive to the Government.
The stirring news from America to-night, by
the steamship Europa and subsequent steamers,
was the theme of universal comment. The de
feat of Gen. Pope's army was regarded as most
disastrous for the North, but the valor displayed
by the Northern troops, in the second Bull Run
battle, was generally admitted.
The London Times admits that the Federal
troops fought with more than ordinary courage,
and that their two days' fighting rescues their
military character from reproach, but everything
except that honor for them is but dust. The
gallant stand which the Federal army made only
takes the sting of disgrace out of their over
throw..
The Liverpool Daily News admits the severity
of the defeat of the Federal army, and thinks
that there will be more bloody battles in Mary
land.
The London Times argues that, the Federal
Government is brought to the verge of ruin, and
believes that such a term may be safely used
when it is no longer safe to execute the functions
of the government in the capital. It argues
that, bad as the prospects of the Federals •now
appear, there is no element of better success in
the future.
The London Star considers the Northern cause
hopeless, because the emancipation of the , slaves
in the Southern States has not been proclaimed,
and urges the adoption of that measure.
The London Herald thinks that the North will
do well to consider the expediency of making a
compromise with the South at once.
The London Morning Post points out the
grounds on which• the Confederate Government
may claim recognition from the European pow
ers.
The question of substitutes for cotton attracts
more and more attention, but practical men ex
press but little faith in the substitutes offered.
It is reported that three of the finest steamers
on the Clyde—the Trona, the Giraffe and the'
Glydesdale—have been sold to the Confederate
Government,
The Liverpool Telegraph says : Besides the
commissions committed to other ship builders by
the Confederate Government, which are being
pushed forward with all possible dispatch, a
large iron-plated ram is being constructed on the
river Mersey, without an attempt being made at
concealment. This ram will,be of the most for
midable character, and will attempt to run the
blockade at Charleston. The same journal says
that a vessel is lying at Liverpool, taking in a
cargo of iron plates, destined for plating a
southern vessel, which is awaiting their arrival
at Charleston.
