A few days ago it was announced that Mr..
Anson Stagcr, General Superintendent Of tho
Western Union Telegraph, had been appointed
by the Government rs Genera superintendent
OF the National Military Telegraph, holding the
position in the army Of Brigade Quart
with the rank Of Captain. Capt. Stagcr is 4
practical operator OF great experience, and was
the Superintendent Of tho House Printing Tel
egraph. On tho consolidation Of tho different
lines he was appointed General Supeript
Of tho new organization, and has illcd that po-
sltion with universal satisfaction. During the
campaign in Western Virginia it became ncces-
sary to have competent person to take charge
Of the tclcgTaphic department Of our army in
that section, and Gen. Mcclellan, knowing
the qualifications Of 31r: stageE,. appointed
him to that position. Under Ills personal
supervision new lines were built, and the army
in its advances was followed closely By the
telegraph wire, The services rendered By the
telegraph corps, under Mr. Stagcr, contributed
much to the success Of our arms in Western
Virginia.
When Gen Mcclellan was called on to take
command OF the Grand Army, he did not
forget The efficient services rendered BY Mr..
Stagcr, and on his elevation to the post O.
Commander Chief he at once singled hin
out for the responsible position OF Genera
Manager Of the widespread system Of telegraph
lines that could be made scryiecab1e to tha

The Firteenth regiment.

Some days since we alluded to the attack o.
the Ohio State Journal on the field officers o.
the 18th Regiment, commanded by Col. GEO
w. ANDREWS. Since that, the Journal has
excepted Lieut. Col. DIcKEY from the remarks
applied in the frat article to the field ctficers'
Of the regiment.
This is, no doubt, proper, and if that paper
had taken back what it said OF all the telC
officers +" of the 18th, It would have been still
more proper.
The slight offered Col. ANDREWS and the Ma
jor was entirely upcalled for. tbs, no doubt,
true that this regiment, as nearly all Others
iu Western Virginia, " was not kept together,
but was cut up and separated the greater part
of the time )" but was this the fault oil Col.
ANDREWS Certainly not. We have under
stood that the regiments in Western Virginia
were under command of Generals MCCLELLAN,
RosEcRANs and HILL, and that the Colonels
and their regiments we're subject to the order OF
the Generals. Col. ANDREws, no doubt, order
ed the companies of his regiment in accordance
with orders from his. superiors, whether 1t was
satisfactory to himself or his men. If he obey.
ed orders, he did right; il he did not, he is liza.
BILE to censure, aud no doubt wonld have recev'
ed it.
That the action of superior officers, some
times, when it is emnently proper, creates some
dissatisfaction, is no doubt true, and il would be
strange il this we're not the case; but 1t the ex
preston of this dissatisfaction, by members of
the company, is to be made the excuse for de-
precistiug the services of the field officers, then
there are none who will escape it.
So far as we have been able to learn, Col.
ANDREWS, and the other field officers of the
regiment, and all the captains, have discharged
all the duties assigned them without murmur
or complaint. They returned with the men Of
the regiment in good condition, and with the loss,
as we understand, of but one man, who was
killed. Col. ANDREWS rendered his services to
Gen. MCCLELLAN in any position where he
could be of any service, but Gen. MCCLELLAN,
after thanking him, expressed his belief that he
had better "repair to Columbus, and give his
attention to recognizing his regiment, which
he hoped would be promptly effected"
This attempt to deprecate the influence of
the field officers, and prevent them from reor-
ganizing the regiments, as desired by Gen.
MCCLELLAN, is all wrong, and calculated to pre-
vent the re.enlistment of the men and the re-
organization Of the regiment.

RepubIicanis1n and the Union.

In the interval between the Inauguration OF
President LINCOLN on the 4th Of March last and
the issuing of his proclamation for volunteers
on the 18th of April, there was in the Republi-
can ranks feeling of doubt snd uncertainty as
to how the Administration would deal with the
secessionists.
From the delay in taking any decided stand,
a suspicion arose in the minds of many who had
contributed to their elevation to power, that the
President and his Cabinet might possibly favor
an amicable division of the Union.
Taking their cue from this, Republican jour
nails and orators began to hint and some to
speak plainly Of the disadvantages of the Union
TO the North, and to urge that it WAS an arrange
ment that had answered its purpose and should
be replaced by new one, ard that final sep.
aration of the more Southern States from the
rest would be peaceable, but sure means ola
compishing what, in their view, was of more
importance than anything else in the great col, ,
troversy-tbe downfall OF slavery on this con-
tinent.
The radical abolition wing Of the Republican
party took up the secession line of argument,
and advocated the doctrine with q zeal and
earnestness that put to shame its most energetic
supporters in the South. While the lombard
ment of Fort Sumter was progressing, WENDELL
PmLLiPs, who may be regarded as representa-
tive man of this class, made speech in Boston,
deprecating, in the most emphatic manner, any
appeal to arms, insisting that the secessionsts
we're right in principle, and urging that the only
way to get rid Of slavery was to let the people
of those States that were so disposed go peace
ably out of the Union whereas, an attempt to
retain them in the Union, by resort to force,
which would lead, in the end, to new compro
misses, would result in the establishment and
perpetuaton Of slavery.
The Presidents proclamation came, calling
for seventy five thousand volunteers and an ex
ira session Of Congress This indicated that
the Cabinet had determined upon war policy
This seemed at the moment to upset the calcu.
lations Of Northern Republican disunonists and
secesaionists. Bot, with remarkable speed and
facility, they appayently changed their views and

Statement of Gen. Patterson.
RALrrMoRr. Thursdav. JulY

BALTIMORE, Thursday, July 25
A private letter from Gen. Patterson, dated
Harper's Ferry, 22d inst, says:
"Gen. Johnston retreated to Winchester
where he had thrown up extensive entrench-
ments, and had large number of heavy guns
could have turned his position, and attacked
him in the rear, but he had received large re.
endorsements from Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia-a total force of over thirty-fve tbous-
and Confederate troops, and FIVE thousand Vir
ginia Militia. My force is less than twenty
thousand. Nineteen regiments, whose term of
service was up, or would be within a week, all
refused to stay one hour over their time but
four, viz: two Indiana regiments, Frank Jar
rett's (the Eleventh Pennsylvania), and Ovens
(the Twenty fourth Pennsylvania). Five regi-
ments have gone home. Two more goto day,
and three more to morrow. To avoid being cut
off with the remainder, / fell back, and occupied
this place."
If Gen. Patterson had attacked JOHNSTON
with the forces stated above, and whipped him,
it would be all right; but If our twenty thous-
and men had been cut up and defeated, and
been compelled to retreat, the howlers would
have demanded that Gen. PATTERSON ought to
be shot. The forces Of JOHNSTON are stated at

The Comparative Forces i'm tho Grea
Battle.
The Tribune sums up as follows:


The Tribune sums up as follows:
Gen. Johnston's whole force as Winchester
was about $4,000 men of all arms-infantry,
cavalry and artillery.
In artillery he was particularly strong, hav-
ing 62 guns of various caliber In the fortifca-
tions. There were HOO cavalry-s00 being
Virginia light horse, and 300 from various
Southern States.
Gen. Johnston left Winchester with 25 600
troops at one P. NJ on Thursday last, to 20 d-
rect TO the support of Beauregard at Manassas
Junction, and by his express order. He took
the road through Millwood to Barry's Ford on
the Shenandoah, and thence to Piedmont Sta.
tion on the Manassas Gap Railroad, distance
Of 2S miles. This would be march of two
days at least, incumbered as he was with heavy
artillery. From Piedmont Station to Manassas
Junction by rail is abont 40 miles. Provision
had been made for this movement by taking the
freight and passenger cars from the Winchester
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to
Strasburg, the terminus of the Manassas Gap
Road; they were hauled there on their otcn pheels
over the turnpike
Gen. Johnston took with him SO pieces of or.
tillery and 300 cavalry. The Virginia cavalry,
under Colonel Stuart, remained TO observe the
movements OF General Patterson, and ten 42-
Founders or columbiads we're left at Wlnches.
ter
OF the 1000 troops left at Winchester when
General Johnston retired, about $500 men were
militia from the neigbboring counties, who
have been disbanded and returned home; the
rest remained till Saturday, when they went to
Strasburg, also intending to 60 to Manassas
Junction.

OUR Mass NG.--Notwithstanding the
busy season of the year, at an early hour last
Saturday, our streets were filled with live Demo
Gratis, who had come up to counsel together.
The meeting was one OF the largest and most
enthusiastic ever held in our county; and as we
cast our eyes over the large concourse Of people,
we felt proud that VIC were associated with such,
and that the good old Democratic party was not
dead, neither was it likely to be. For particu-
