ker, who tell glorious in battle on the eve. of
Monday DIST Oct, near Leesburgh. The
gallant dead had many titles to honor at the

speakers in that illustrious body has been ST.
fenced by his fall. 4 patriot Jealous for the
honor and interests o. his adopted country
He has been distinguished in two wars and
has now sealed with his blood his devotion
to the national flag. Cut off in the fullness
OF his powers as a statesman, and IN the
course Of brilliant career as a soldier,
while his country mourns his loss his brothers
in arms will envy while they lament his fate.
He died as a soldier would wish to die, amid
the thick Of battle his voice and example ami
mating his men to brave deeds.
The remains OF the deceased will be in
TERED in this city with the honors dae his
rank, and the funeral arrangements will be
ordered by Brigadier General Silas Cosey,

Treasonable Publications.

Rebel newspapers, in time of war, ought
TO be suppressed by the strong arm of the
people, if not totherwise, as well as rebel flags.
The fouting of such flag in the face of 10y
al cltizens is no more insulting to the com
munity, than for such paper to continue
pouring out treason by the column, day af
ter dav and week after week, to encourage
and stimulate an unholy rebellion against
the government. The suppression of such a
publication. in summary manner, would
not infringe upon the freedom of the press,
because the press has no more right to incul-
cate treason than it has to encourage and
applaud arson, ASSASSINATION, burglary or
highway robbery, The press, in its boasted
freedom, has no such right If you find q
vagrant picking friends pocket, burglar
entering friends house, an incendiary firing
neighbors dwelling, you will, without stop
ing for law, precepts, constitutions or bills Of
rights, stop bis depredations at all hazards
So in case of treason, and the preachers and
apologists of treason.
We are now in the midst of war, big
with the fate Of human freedom and liberal
government. Brave men are imperilling
their lives to suppressA rebellion that seeks
to undermine the very pillars of civil liberty,
and We insist that loyal citizens are net re-
quired to sit unmoved, and see the audacious
rebels at their base work all around them,
spreading noxious and traitorous principles
broadcast over the land, misrepresenting the
government, exulting over its disasters, ap-
plaadng the successes of it's enemies, and
glorying in a fancied prospect of its final
overthrow. Self.protectron is the first law of
nature-thss" higher law and a treasona
bic news paper is much more dangerous in a
loyal community than score of reasonable
individuals. Why should we suppress a
pirate flag on our waters, and at the same
time protect pirate newspaper, on shore /?
The question OF the freedom of the press is
not involved in the suppression of traitor

Savage Conduct of the Rebels.

The atrocities of the rebels have never had
an equal. Their conduct at the late battle
exceeds any thing recorded on the pages Of
history. We have the first instance of re-
fusal of permission to bury theeneny's dead.
They pay no respect to the flag of truce; but
imprison the men who were sent to recover
the dead body Of an officer. They killed the
wounded and kicked their heads over the
field like footballs. They made hospitals a
special mark for their murderous fire, and
battered out the brains of the wounded with
the butts of their muskets, while they lay in
a helpless condition on the field. They car
ried the Anerican flag to deceive our meu,
and when small squads became separated
from their regiments approached these flags
they were murdered by these hell-deseiving
savages. They stood the wounded up as tar
ge;s and amused themselves by firing at them.
A captain namsd Haggerty was seen laying
on the field with his THROAT cut from ear and
his nose and ears cut off. Capt. Downey of
the Fire Zouaves, on Sunday being overpow
cred by numbers, threw down his arms and
surrendered, but their reply was "We take
no prisoners, d-n you, and he was litter
ally blown to peices, no less than 16 balls
entering bis body. They actually fred upon
ard killed two Diuandiers who were giving
wine and water to the wounded men. Such
is the bravery of these chlvalrous sons of
Southern Soil. Such are the men with whom
cur braYe volunteers have to fight.

PENNSYLVANIA.

Whatever may be said of the position OF
Pennsylvania, her attitude to-day is noble
and characteristic. She came into the Rev
oution in an hour of gloon. and dispelled
the shadows which fell across the path of our
infant Confederacy. When Fort Sumpter
fell, and the pickets CT the rebel army guar
ded the Long Bridge, when Baltimore was
under the heel of mob and the capital was
surrounded by sea of treason, Pennsylva-
MIA was the first to come to its relief. and
the muskets were the first to gleam along
the Pennsylvania Avenue. And in our Sec
ond time of peril, when a victorious army
is menacing the capital, the sons of Penn
syvania are the first to fly to it, to resist the
excited hordes Of Mr.. Davis and Gen. Beau
regard, and Gov. Curtin has promptly issued
a call for ten thousand more troops. exciu-
sve of the reserve force.
While we thus indulge in Datural feel
ing of felicitation on the position of cur no
BILE State, we are pleased to be able to am
nounce that the news from Washington is
of the most encouraging character. While
all danger Of an assault upon it cannot be
said to have passed away, we think there is
no probability If any such an attack being
made. Our rulers are laboring with hercu-
lean exertious to bring up the military and
naval departments. to the standard of an i'm
pregnably offensive and eventually an efi-
ciently offensive system of warfare. The
Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of War,
the Lieutenant-Gensral, and the President
himself, are giving all their energies to the
work. Regiments are being constantly ac-
cspyed by the War Department and nearly
eyery railroad from the States of the North,
the West, and East is burdened with trains
of we'll equipped soldiery. Our merchant
marine is being rapidly drawn upon for q
temporary and efficient Navy. and we may
hope very soon to bave the pirates of the
South driven from the seas, and every outlet
into the Sea guarded by the guns the Re-
public.
The people Of the North appreciate the
energy of the government aid the danger
of the country. That danger can only bt
syer:ed by the unanimous voice of the North
iu sustaining the hands of our rulers. The
membess Of the Administration have conf
renee in each 9th er the people must hav'
confidence in the Administration. The gov
ernment is never so strong as when it rep
resents the voice Of the people. The voice
of the people is for WARRIOR thorough

Government appreciates the telling of the

WHAT A GENTLEMAN SAW AT HARPER'S
FERRY

Harry Coggsbell, direct from Harper's
Ferry has given us several items of news of
importance, which we print for the benefit
of our readers. Gen. Banks has removed
the main body of his troops to a ravine
mile southeast of the Ferry, while Double
DAVIS battery commands Sheppard's Ford,
and Perkins battery commands Leesburg.
Gen. Banks has about eighteen thousand
men.in his command aud is being reinfor
ced daily and expects, in ALL this week to
have about twenty FIVE thousand men III his
column.
He occupies Harper's Ferry now with
three companies of the Massachusetts Ninth,
which are auartered in what shelter is affor-
ded by what remains of the government bull
dings. The town is completely desolated,
the government work shops having been de-
stroyed, all labor stopped, while the necesi-
ties of life cannot be purchased at any price
in the town.
Should the enemy attempt to approach on
and attack Harrer's Ferry from Leesburg or
Sheppard's Ford, the three companies quar-
tered in the workshops would OF course re-
treat to the other side, and the reception of
tue enemy left to Doubleday's and Perkins
battery.
Our informant expresses the utmost cons
6dence in Gen. Banks ability to repulse the
enemy. should he appear in double the force
of the federal troops, and the move Of Gen.
Banks in occupying bis present position is
spoken of in the highest terms by ablsst

two hundred and fifty of the enemy, who
have lost all his baggage and camp equip
age All this has been accomplished with
the loss Of twenty brave men killed and six
ty wounded on your part. You have proved
that ULion men, fighting for the preservation
Of our government, are more than match

More than this you have shown mercy to the
vanquished You have made long and ar
duous marches without sufficient food, fre-
ouentlv exposed to the inclemency of the
