iz:m V i robtitrian PITTSBURGH, SEPT. 30, 1808 The War. The matter of great interest still is the battle of the 19th and 20th, and the situa tion of Gen. linseeraus. The battle takes the name of Chickamauga, having been fought, mainly between the two branches of that creek. The creek empties into the Tennessee, near Chattanooga. Several ac counts, by correspondents of the press, are before the public. They differ, probably as writers saw different parts of the engage ment, and as they conversed with different officers. In the absence of all official data, the probability seems that our loss was about 1,700 killed, 8,000 wounded, and 2 500 missing ; being a little over 12,000 in all. We also lost fifty pieces of artillery, very many small arms, and large quanti ties of baggage and other materials. The loss of the guns was owing, mainly, to the horses being killed. Our troops fought with great bravery, but they were over powered by superior numbers. Our men conjecture that the killed and wounded of of the enemy were. about equal in numbers to their own. So far as we eau yet learn, the battle was sorely against 118. We were oheoked, re. versed, and &Ivo bank. Gen. Rosoorans, however, still holds the main point at which he aimed, that is, Chattanooga; and if he shall be speedily reinforced, the event will be only a cheek. If not reinforced very soon, he will be flanked and obliged to abandon Chattanooga, and we cannot say how much more. The Government, however, is urging on aid. Gen. Burnside's forces, and other troops may reach him. A part of Gen. Grant's army Is said to be on the way. 'Loops also are being gathered from Indi• ana and Kentucky. The hope is, thit reinforcements so powerful will soon reach Gen. Rosecrans that he can again take the offensive. The rebels crow some over their victory, but it is evident that they are sadly disap pointed. It is not what they expected ; and if they gain no more, the battle is to them a sad loss of life, with no permanent benefit. They had made immense efforts to mass an army which might overwhelm ours, re-take Chattanooga, and• Tennessee as far as Nashville, and all of South-eastern Kentucky. This was the least they thought of; and some of them anticipated taking the whole of Tennessee and Southern and Western Kentucky, and blockading again the Mississippi. These bright visions are clouded ; soon, we trust, to vanish utterly. We ought, probably, to be glad that we have not lost all; but still, every patriot and Christian must feel sad that we lust so much. Why, having the very strong po eition at Chattanooga, did Gen. Roseerans move forward against a superior foe ? Was he bidden thus to advance ? Wag there a necessity to move so hastily and suffer this great loss? And why was be not made strong enough in time ? Gen. Burnside, with twenty thousand men, was within less than a week's march. And there were several ten-thousands of Gen. Grant's men, and others, available. This destruction of human life, by drawn battles and reverses, when we might have men enough massed to gain a full victory, fills ns with induces, There is a fault some where, and it is the duty of every good man to insist that it shall not be repeated. Our army have lost abort ten thousand men, in killed and wounded, for nothing, unless it be the killing and wounding of, possibly, an equal number of the enemy. We have, in the event, this consolation, that if the loss goes on, man for man, the enemy will be wasted, while we are yet strong; but we Would rather, as We believe it to be clearly practicable, save our men, while his waste away. Still, let us be thankful to Him who rules over all, that we but suffer cheeks and reverses, in the midst of great gains. Chattanooga and vicinity is of vast im portance to the enemy. Be there makes large quantities of saltpetre, salt and iron. It is also in the midst of a good wheat coun try, and a protection, if he can recover and hold it, to the centre of his empire. But its importance to him gives it an equal value to us, as by holding it we deprive him of its benefits. We are pleased to see it affirmed from Washington, that, up to the afternoon of the 27th, (Sabbath,) no attack had been made on Gen. Romans, since a Slight affair on the 21st; and that his position was regarded as safe. We trust that he will be as watehful as his foe is wily. The able correspondent of the N. Y. Times speaks of the battle of the 20th being lost for want of Generalship—that Gen. Rose grans was obliged to retire before the fight. ing was over, and that two of the Corps Generals were absent the latter part of, the day. No reason for any of these absences accompanies the statement. All writers seem to accord the weed of praise to Gen. Thomas. It was his skill, bravery, and in domitable energy, which saved the army from a terrible route. We cordially praise Gen. Thomas, while we withhold censure from others, till we can have more full in formation. THE TIDINGS frotnArltansas, and the Indian Territory, oontinue'faTorable. Tan EXPEDITION against Texas, which moved by land, is progressing favorably. MOBILE, as is still said, must be assailed by land and water. It wait be; but the time is not yet. OHABLIASTON has been enjoying quiet ness for some time. Gen. Gilmore is still fortifying Morris Island; and erecting bat teries for offensive operations. The equi noctial gale has been very severe in Charles ton harbor. Our fleet, however, rode it out in safety. The roughness of the water 4E41'17 forbade naval operations. THEILE Is some commotion in the army of the Potomac, but the Government has forbidden the sending of news from it. Reports have it, that parts of the army are being sent down the Potomac, and other parts being sent West; and that Generals Howard and Slocum have resigned; and that Gen. Hooker is to have a command in the West; and that Gen. Meade will re tire his diminished forces to the fortifica tions before Washington. All these re ports lack confirmation. THE APPEARANCE of five Russian men-of war in New-York harbor, to be followed by three others, is a new event, and causes some speculation. Foreign Intervention. We still have need of wisdom and firm• ness in our foreign policy. Material strength, pluck, and a conciliatory spirit, are all necessary, and should be duly exhib ited. And especially should we eherish cordial unanimity among ourselves, and prim the war with vigor. England becomes more and more ami able in her manifestations. Non-inter ven6on is proclaimed there by statesmen and newspapers. It is also signified in such a way that we can no longer hesitate to believe, that the iron-clad ships built by Laird, and now lying in the Mersey, will not be permitted to sail. In France, however, things look more threatening. Louis Napoleon has evident ly backed out from the quarrel he was about to pick with Russia, and is now at liberty to seek occupation and glory in ano ther quarter. He has been accustomed, by the aid of some writer, to throw out a pamphlet foreshadowing a possible future policy. This acts as a feeler of public sen timent. It elicits discussion, from which he learns whether it would be prudent to move, and how to shape his course. The last pamphlet is by M. Chevalier. The subject is, France, Mexico, and the Confed eracy. We give a few extracts as a speci men: ti France must oppose the absorption of Southern Arneriea by Northern Ameriea; she must in like dr manner oppose the degra dation of the Latin race an the other side of the ocean ; she must establish the integ rity and security of our West Indian colo nies. It is the interests which compel France to sympathize with the Confederate States which have led our banners up to the walls of Mexico. "The recognition of the Southern States will be the consequence of our intervention, or rather our intervention has prepared, fa cilitated, and made possible a diplomatic act which will consecrate the final separa tion and secession of these States from the American Union. " In this respect the secession of the Confederate States is an event particularly favorable to France—for England has, noir no interest in the cessation of hostili- ties and the consequent constitution of an intermediary power between the Federal Union and the Spanish American States. " England trembles for Canada, to which the North, after the war, may look for the compensation of its losses. The commerce of England profits by the misfortunes of American commerce—she looks with satis faction on the exhaustion alike of the South and of the North. She supplies both parties with arms, and while the Southern export of cotton is suspended she is increasing the cotton culture of India. England, then, will never take the initiative in recogniz ing the Confederate States, and the way in which our propositions of pacific interven tion were twice received by her ought to dispel all doubts on this head. " France, on the other hand, cannot hope to find the cotton.which her factories need elsewhere than in the South. " The producing, . agricultural South was the commercial vassal of the North, which insists upon keeping its best customer; emancipation is merely a skillful device for entrapping the sympathies of European lib eralism. If the North were victorious it would never probe the slavery question to the core. Once masters-of the negro race, Northern menwould be slow to compromise the cotton oultyre, for the sake of which they are so savagely maintaining an unjust war. " The model republic exists only as a memorY ) and those who love it are left to cherish the image of a greatness and a grace forever gone. "The American question is not one of those whioh can be deferred for solution to a more convenient season. "It has been put to us point-blank it must be settled peremptorily." With such a power as France on our bor ders, and with such a policy and purpose declared, shall these United States be in different ? Shall we give ourselves to party political squabbles ? Shall a party oppose the Government; or shall the Government adhere to a policy *Web may deprive it of the sympathy and energies of one half the people ? What party triumph could com pensate for the loss of the Union ? We cannot but hope that good men of all par ties will feel the necessity for a cordial co operation, and the putting• forth of the nation's full energies. A cordially united North, and a few more vigorous and well directed blows against the rehellion, would annul M. Chevalier's logic, and dispel Na poleon's bright visions. God has given us the means of safety; may he lead us to their timely and proper use. il=tittral Edgeworth Seminary. This institution was opened on Monday of last week, for scholars.

PeAngylvinia The Central Pennsylvania Railroad, unfailing and untiring in enterprise, is now engaged in a very important improvement in Pittsburgh. The Passenger Depot, at the corner of Liberty and Grant Streets, had become altogether inadequate to the - demands of the road's business. it will, before very long, yield to one of the Imre, and finest structures of the kind in the 'United States. The foundation IS now being built. The depot will extend seven hundred feet on Liberty Street by one hundred and fifty-nine feet on Elm Street. The Liberty Street front will be mainly of iron, and highly ornamental. The centre elevation of the roof will be seventy-five feet, with an arch springing from iron columns elevated thirty feet from the track, leaving side-lean to sheds thirty seven feet in width and twenty-five feet in height. The Liberty Street shed will be occupied by the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne• and Chicago Railroad Company, with double track. The Quarry Street shed, with double track, will aciommodate the Steubenville Railroad Company, while the arched portion will be used by the Pennsylvania Cen tral, with five tracks. In addition to the depot proper, a hotel will be erected eighty-four feet six inches front, by two hundred feet deep, and four stories high. It is to be "a handsome building, and to have all the facilities for the comfort of travellers, which the managers of the road know so well how to sup ply. The Depot and the Hotel are both greatly needed, and their completion will be hailed joy ously by Pittisburghers, as well as by the migra ting public. B-bal Estimate of Bragg's Late Success ilichmond Wig, of September 28d, claims I a vim ory in Northern Georgia for Bragg, but in conclusion says; We suppress the exultation at the thought of what yet remains to be done, and the possibility of losing all that has been gained by failing to complete the work. Situated as Reseerans is, the victory that does not disperse or capture his whole army is a lost opportunity. If he he is permitted to hold Chattanooga, then our victory will be without profit, and we have only to mourn that so many brave men have died in vain; and chiefly that the gallant Hood has sealed his faith with his life.' Roseerans must not only be beaten in battle s but he must be de stroyed or driven from East Tennessee; other wise the battle had as well not been fought. If this stronghold is not wrenched from him now, it will hardly ever be hereafter. If he holds it, he holds a point offensive, from which he may . , at any moment, strike at the very vitals of the Con federacy. He holds a region pestilent with- dis affection, that needs only the presence of the Yankee army to ripen into full-blown treason. He holds the country that must supply wheat for our army, nitre for our powder mills, and Coal and iron for many of our manufacturing estab lishments. ' The possession of that country is of indispensable necessity to us. It is the prize for which Bragg is contending. Until he has won it, we can but rejoioe with fear 'and trembling over what he has done. Should we win it, it will 4m the best achievement of the war. ashington. Sept. 26.—A1l officers and men captured and paroled previous to Sept. 1, 1863, have been de clared exchanged. A Cairo dispatch of the 21st gives a report that Price's army, reduced to eight hundred men, is fleeing before our,eavalry, toward Texas. The report says the number of rebels who have sur rendered to Gen. Steele will amount to 7,000 or 8,000. This is probably exaggerated. The Republicans of Mexico, se evinced by cor respondence from San Loui Potosi, arc still un daunted and unconquered—so that the victory of the French is likely to prove a barren one. Mil itary occupation does not give them possession, and delay only strengthens the hands of the party they would subjugate. The movement in augurated by Juarez for practically carrying out the Monroe doctrine, seems to be working well, and if Mexican bayonets cannot, American unity may, drive the French from this continent. Five and a half millions of dollars have already been received as commutation under the enroll ment sot. This sum and all moneys hereafter to be realized from this eOurce are to be expended in bounties for enlistments. Advices from the steam ship Vanderbilt have been received up• to August 22d, when she was then in port at' Rio; hence the rebel reports of her having been sunk in a fight with one of their ships are untrue. Stephens' mission to Washington, it is said,, was to consult with the Federal authorities as to whether satisfactory terms of compromise might be arranged, so that the Confederacy might be saved the disgrace of inviting foreign aid, said aid to be an arrangement with France, by which she was to assist the rebels with fleets and ar mies in exchange for the , poisession of Texas. It is alleged Visit Stevens is now in Paris effecting this arrangement. (Can he accomplish it?) Thelnvalid Corps has expanded to an army of nearly twelve thousand first-class soldiers, divi ded into one hundied and forty-six companies, of eighty men each. Sept. 28.:—The Government at present has on hand, in the different arsenals throughout the country, 600,000 effective stand of arms,' and the number is rapidly increasing. From figures in the Provost Marshal General's Office it is ascertained that on the let "of July, 1863, there were but 92,789 deserters from 'all the armies in the field. Since the establish ment of the Bureau of Deserters, over 15,000 of these have been returned to their regiments. Gen. Herron's expedition hae cleaned the country between Red River , and Port Hudson, of guerrillas. Gen. Green's rebel forces have been driven beyond the Achnfalays, with,most eater minative lose. Gen. Herron is a victim to the malaria of the country, and will be brought back to New-Orleans. • Col. Cloudi of , Blunt's command, reached Little E,ook on the 20th inst.

Before he joined. the army he was a faithful Sabbath School scholar, and took great delight in committing the Scriptures; and although young in years, he appeared to have a mature judgment in understanding the pure doctrines of the Bible, and applying them to himself in his daily walk and conversation. He was early taken from the troubles and trials of this world, to enjoy, we hope, the pure pleas ures of a never-ending eternity, where the weary are at rest, and where sorrow and sighing can never come.

W. H. DlED—August 25th, of dysentery, after a few days' sickness, Mrs. ELEANOR, wife of the late Mr. William Barnes, of North Huntingdon Tp., Westmoreland County, Pa., aged 70 years. Nobly did Mrs. E. fulfil the duties of the va rions stations which God in his providence im posed upon her. As a wife and mother, a helper with her husband gone before her for time and eternity, she was beyond all praise. Early did she seek the God of Israel, and gave her heart to him by a public profession and union with the Presbyterian Church. During a I.ong life of Christian deportment, she was enabled, through Divine grace, to adorn the doctrine of God her Saviour ; and as she drew near the end of her earthly pilgrimage, even while her physical powers were fainting and failing apace, her faith and assurance grew brighter and stronger, and in her last days she experienced the sweet antiwar to the prayer of the Psalmist, "Now, also, when I am old and gray-headed, 0 God, forsake me not." As the righteous, she " left an inheritance to children's children." And it was her pleasure, as .well as her comfort and consolation in her deolining day, to see a numer ous family--all her seps and daughters, with several grand-children—in union with the Church, ig walking in the statutes and coMmandments of the Lordhlameless."

Acquia Creek Hospital, April 27th, 186Wr of chronic diarrhea, JOHN PARK, eldest son of John and Sarah Hickman, in the 26th year of his age. DIED—In Acquia Creek Hospital, June Bth, 1863, of, typhoid fever, DAVID FORBES, eldest son of 'Thomas Morrow, in the 20th year of his age. These young men were sons of pious parents, and were early consecrated to God, taught to re -1 • vere his name, and respect his Word and the ordinances of his house. They were members of the young men's Bible Class in Bethany church, and seldom, indeed, were their seats va eant in . the sanctuary. They had grown up in onr midst, honored, respected and beloved by all. In August 1862, they entered the army, as vol unteer soldiers, in Co. D, (Capt. J. Glenn,) 149th Reg't P. V. L They left quiet, happy; prosper ous homes, and many dear and loving friends, actuated by the purest, patriotism. Noble young. men ! They gave their lives, their all, to their country; and their blood cries unto Heaven; alike against Southern traitors and Northern and foreign sympathizers and abettors, and God will require it at their hands. We mourn their early death, -but do not regret having encouraged them in the good. work which their hearts ohose. Neither is our sorrow =mingled. It is noble to stand for one's country in the hoitr of danger ; yea,-it is glorious, even, to die in her defence, if such be the will of God. They fell in defence of a Government ordained of God, and we enter tain the hope that while soldiers of his temporal kingdom, they enlisted also under his spiritual banner. The general tenor of their letters home, their earnest requests of parents andpious friends to pray for them, the testimony of their compan ions„ all combine in saying that the interest of the immortal soul was not neglected. If ready for the. summons, as we hope they were, they have exchanged the soldier's dress for the victor's robes ; the trappings of war for the golden harp and crown; the shrill strains of martial music for the sweet enchanting anthem of .redeeming love. Their names are indelibly written on memory's tablet, "Embalmed with all our hearts can give, Our tribUte and our tears." A SOLDIER'S FRIEND DlED—Suddenly, at his residence, Mt. Wash-, ington, Pa., of apoplexy, JAMES A. FETZER"; Esq., in the 48th year of his age. Mr. Fetzer arose, on Sabbath morning, August 23d, in perfect health, apparently. He sang a few verses of those well known hymns, " Safely through another week, God has brought us on our way," " There . is a happy land," Sze., and yet in less than three hours, "he was not; for God took "him." There, at home in. his own chamber, surrounded with loved ones, he sweetly fell asleep in Jesus—going to the land he loved so well, and entering upon praises that shall never cease. Few men are more generally or justly esteemed than Mr. Fetzer. He had qualitiei of head and heart that endeared him to all. In every rela tion of life he was the same - honest, earnest, esti mable man. As a husband, he was loving and devoted; as a father, kind and indulgent; as a. , neighbor, social and obliging ; as a citizen, loyal , and patriotic; as a Christian, humble and zeal ous ; as a Ruling ; Elder, faithful and conscien tious. In all circumstances , and in all positions, he proved himself no ordinary man—one among a thousand. Oonverted, in early years, (at the age of thirteen,) Mr. Fetzer devoted * his whole life to the interests of the Church, serving her most faithfully and efficiently till the day of his death. For the last thirteen years, he was an elder in Israel, (being six years an elder in the First church of Wheeling, Va., and seven years an elder in the Mt. Washington church, Pa.,) and during that time he exerted a mighty in fluence for. good over many souls. Being inii rersally beloved by all who knew him, he found a, welcome in every home,' and had a place in every heart. Few men in any community would be more missed and mourned than he. One most intimate with him testifies thus : " I have known him from his boyhood. His life was highly ex emplary, and his Christian course consistent, ele imting, and shining. • His like is seldom known or found in tha world or Church militant." But God salr fit to - take him to himself, and we acquiesce, knowing that he doeth all things well. Our loss is doubtless his _ , gain. To him, sudden death was, we trust, sudden glory and immediate ims mortality. "Blessed are the dead which die in the tord." He has left many to mourn his de parture : among them a devoted wife and six dear children; but they sorrow not as those which have no hope. God in his mercy strength en them.in this trial, and fit them by his grace fora.happy reunion with the departed in heaven. J. Y. Mc. DIED—On Sabbath evenin*, September 13th, 1863, at his home in Maysville, Pa., FRANCIS AUGUSTUS BIRCH, . aged: 23 years, 4 months, and 18 days. Some one has likened the sight of the gulf of Corinth to a glimpse of Paradise. A mere com parison will not describe the closing-moments of clear cc Prank's" life. The heavenly smile which played over his features-through the holy Sab bath--the exclamations uttered in the course of his sickness:'" rathee be in heaven than here;" I soon see greater things than you;" ~ -t love Jesus ;" " I am so vile';" "'I be lieve'that Jesus has pardoned my sins;" in the reply which followed the Auestion, " Are' yOu happy?" as he answered,. " Perfectly';"—all these things prove that when he exchanged time for eternity, we had a real glimpse of Paradise. An examination of the records of Washington College front the time of his matriculation in 1807 until his graduation in ,1861—the testimony 'Of those who instructed or received instruction from him-the voice of his loving classmates— will shovi that the entrance of his intellect into any field of study, was only to become its mas ter. His imagination was constantly creating.

In conversation his presence insured vivacity and interest. His perception of the relation of things in every ease was - attended:with the rtipiditY almost of intuition, _ • But we would not be acquainted with the no bility.of his character, if we.were not to notice that part. of•his nature in which we are permit ted to view his moral qualities.• Hislieart lofed the' Truth. conscience snouted 'to compre hend all is contained in the assertion,' that Ulm the taueliaton:e of RighE He possessed 'a high sense of honor, and despided that which was paltry and.mean. -The fire otrevenge never burned long- in his bosom, but he had a kind word for every one.

What lofty heights that imagination is scaling now, as he beholds things unutterable I The last time that he appeared in public, he stirred the soul with the glow of his language, and thrilled the heart with the melody of his - voice, as he spoke of "The Student's Unmapped Future."

We miss that beloved form, but it is asleep in Jesus, and, as he himself said he will rise with that body again, only it will be pure. 0 dear brotherl 0 playmate and companion of my childhood! Our home is dark without thee. Memory has been very busy since thy departure. In death we are not divided ; for do I not hear the voice of Jesus, " Frank is not dead, but sleepeth. Thy brother shall rise again." And when the green hills which over look and the gentle streamlet which murmurs. near thy resting place have fled away at the coming of the Son of Man, may we all, father and.mother, our brothers and sisters, along with, thee, stand on the sea of glass'; along with thee sing the song of Moses and the Lamb.
