VISITS TO VOLUNTEERS IN THE ARMY.
For the information of many persons
who come, at great sacrifice of time,
money and personal comfort. to Washing
ton. for the purpose of visiting their rela-
tives in the army on the Virginia side of
the Potomac, it is proper to state that, as
Gen. Mcclellan considers such visits in
consistent with the good of the soldiers,
as we'll as prejudiciaI to the success of the
army generally, he has, by positive orders,
refused passes.
The constant communication of families
with their brothers, husbands and sons, is
prevented by the refusal, which in many
Instances is the occasion of much painful
embarrassment to the officer in charge. as
well as TO those who, after reaching Wash
ington, are without the means of providing
for their comforts. Many visit the city
merely through curiosity; but they incur
needless expense. as it cannot be grati6ed.
No passed are granted. excepting in ex-
treme cases, where it is positively neces-
sary.

Of the South have so long kept the people
has become intolerable, and they wish
now to know whether we have govern
ment Or not Even those who most dread
the result Of mortal conflict yet desire
to know the worst that may befall us.
1t is not an easy matter to please every
body; and if the present Administration
should succeed in doing it, it will do what
has never been done before. Impartial
history will, no doubt, do it "tardy JUS

government upon which our Republic is

just and honorable measures to preserve
it, would be to doubt the existence of vir-

desire return of the "piping times of

await the result with patience, ever remem-

THE RUMoRED CAPTURE OF New Or
LEANs-We have heard vague rumors
for several days that New Orleans has
been occupied by the Federal ttoops.-
Intelligence was received in this city last
evening, by way of Nashville, which leads
us to believe that the rumor has its found
alton in fact. One report, in which we
place confidence, says that the Federal
forces took possession of the city on the
5th inst, without firing gun. 1t is said
that the feet after the desertion of Ship
Island passed Mississippi city, Biloxi,
and Pass Christian, which were evacuated,
and made an easy conquest of the city.
1t was found that the incomplete fortifca-
tons at Bay St. Louis had been aban-
doned by the rebels, and the city surren-
dered On the 9Th inst, in compliance with
the formal demand of the commander of
the Federal forces.
The above statement is the substance
of a despatch said to have been published

HOW is 1t Z

DIT is the Democrats who do the volun-
teering and fighting in the present war.
The Republicans remain snugly at home.
So saws the Democrat de Sentinel of last
week.
Our neighbor has been harping after
this fashion for some time past, but as the
community in which his paper circulates
are pretty we'll acquainted with his
great falling, we have never thought it
worth while to contradict him. In any
thing we may now say upon the subject,
we certainly have no disposition to detract
from the patriotism of Democrats; our
only desire is to resent the stupid insult
which has been offered to those brave
Republicans of Cambria, who have so
nobly volunteered in defence of their
country, in the time of its greatest peril.
If Cambria be the great democratic
County" which our neighbor would have
us believe, she ought, according to
his own logic, to send more Democrats
than Republicans to the present War.
But has she done so? We think not.
1t is admitted on all hands, that the vote
of last fall was as near being full as might
be. We have shown elsewhere that the
Loco Foco vote of this year is almost as
large as 1T uas last gear, whilst the Repub-
lican vote falls off more than 900! What
has become of these 900 Republicans p
Is it not fair presumption that the great
bulk of them have donned their armour
and gone forth to battle
| Look, too, at the returns from the
| several camps. We find that kopelin
beats Pershing 10 votes for Assembly; and
| Hamilton beats Buck II votes for Sheriff.
We are aware that the voting for the 9th
er offices does not exhibit precisely the
same result; but we maintain that the
two Offices named-Assembly and Sheriff
afford the best criterion of party politics
in the premises.
and yet our neighbor ignores these
facts and figures, and says, forsooth, thai
the Democrats are doing all the fighting
while ''the Republicans remain snugly al
home" We cannot admire that system
of morals which prompts him thus to rot

THE NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Reported Fight at santa Rosa
Island.

BALTIMORE, Oct I2.-The Norfolk
Day Book, received this morning, con-
tains dispatch from New Orleans, giving
an account of surprise and attack made
on Wilson's Zouaves, at Santa Rosa Island
on the 18th inst. Detachments from
several Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama
regiments landed in the night, drove in
the pickets, and had fierce battle. The
Zouaves are credited with having fought
with great BRAY sery, and the rebels admit
of loss OF forty killed and double that
number wounded. They claim to have
spiked the guns of the Zouaves and
destroyed all their camp equipage. They
also claim to have committed great
slaughter among the Zouaves, but gave
no numbers of the killed. They also car
ried off several prisoners

Teeth.

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 12.-During to-day
the rebels advanced in large force in the
direction of Prospect Hill, driving in our
pickets to that point. The result was
that the division of Gen. NJ Call was soon
formed into line of battle, with orders to
advance. 1t was supported by cavalry
and artillery. Several shots were fired by
the rebel batteries, but being out of range
no injury was sustained by our troops.
The divisions of Gems. Smith, Porter
and M'Doweli were also soon prepared for
any apprehended emergency, but nothing
farther, in addition to what is already
stated, occurred to induce an adverse hos
tile movement.
