deiphia Ledger says:
The drawback to-day is the heavy loss of
|lfe ct the battle near Lsesburg. AS there
were not a few New Workers engaged, The Ii $ /
OF killed, wounded, and missing, is looked for
with painful anxiety. The city journals are
scoldin2 the Government for holding back
the particulars of the battle SO long.
The City banks promptly responded to dav
TO the call OF the secretary OF the Treasury fer
the remaining three millions and q half of
their quota of the Government loan: sad
what must be equally gratifying TO Secretary
Chase, in so doing they only employed Trsa-
snrY notes TO the rriiiing amount OF $1,000.
The United States Circuit Court was again

witness tho continuation OF the TRIAL OF The

Government having been taken, hr. LARGO ue
opened in an Ella borate argument for the de-
fence. He referred to the LETTERS Of nacrque
granted by the Continental Congress to cIj-
gems OF Massachusetts as precedent, and de-
Tended the prisoners on the ground that they
were in the service OF what they considered a
dc facto Government. The learned gentleman
objected TO the jurisdiction OF this court TO
try the prisoners, con tending tnat. when the
prisoners We're taken by the Minnesota TO
Hampton Roads, that they wers within the
trisdiction of Virginia, ard that that Was
the only place where they could be legally
tried. The case ia still in progress, and win

THE MOVEMENT.

The movement Qf troops, already frequently
referred to and explained, is going on. Yester.
dav three bsttalons Of District Volunteers passed
through Georgetown, and two Connecticut, one
New. Hampshire, and the 9th New-York Regi-
ments, broke up their camps, and started from
Washington, proposing to join the District Vol
unteers three miles from Georgetown, going
thence to Edwards's Ferry, on the Potomac, u
point half way between Washington and Harper q
Ferry. IL is thought that several regiments on
the Virginia side, and an Ohio regiment, were
Immediately to march in the same direction.
The Rhode Island Regiment had followed their
battery to the Relay House, but whether they
were to move from that place toward Iiarper's
Ferry remained in doubt BY request Of Gov.
Hicks and others, brigade was to be sent to
Frederick City, u strong ghold of dislOyalty, with
the design of keeping the traitors in order
A gentleman who is said to have gained his
information directly from Gen. Scott, declares
that no important movement will be made from
Alexandria toward the enemy till the fOrtifca-
tions on thai side of the river have been COM
pleted and made, as far as possible, upregnable
A dispatch from Cincinnati says that the tn
Indiana Zouaves have taken Cumberland, Md,
thence meaning to go to join Gen. Patterson.
Cumberland is 10l miles from Grafton and "a
miles from Harper's Ferry.
Trustworthy intelligence, at late hour, from
Harpers Ferry, states that the Rebels are re-
treating. Many wagons have been seized from
farmers in the vicinity of Winchester, and are
engaged in Transporting the troops to Stras-
burg. whence they will go by rail to Ma
nassas Junction. 1t is now doubtful if our
columns combine in season to make the large
capture they expected. 1t therefore seems that
the Rebels have given up all hope of aid from
MARYLAND and that they are to rely on making
stand at the junction. That point is strongly
fortified. The cannon are in a semicirco about
the railroad station.
A man who says he has accurate information
as to the plans Of the Rebels states that they
have an idea of attacking Washington while 1T is
partially bereft Of troops, and that movement
10 this end will take place by Thursday.
We learn from Hagerstown that the rebel Vir-
qinians have been busy for several days in destroy
ing, and attempting to destroy, canal boats, locks
bridges and dams. They are also obstructng tho
river in every way they can invent.

AN ACT OF JUSTICE.

The New-York volunteers who were called out
for three months have done good service, aod
have endured much privaion, aud not little
real suffering. Having been unproyided with
tents. they have been obliged to live 10 hastily
constructed sbaBtie,, and in rude huts formed of
the boughs Of trees; they have thus been exposed
to the heat and the rain. They have labored
hard in the trenches; they have been ndeiatiga-
BILE in drilling; have performed heavy guard duty;
aud have been called upon for sudden and dan
gerous expeditions. always promptly and with
enthusiasm obcying the summons. These labors
and this experience of camp life have made of
law recruits efficient sold ers, and to them the
Government looks for its most valuable aid.
Meanwhile their clothing has been worn OUT
they need tents. equipments and uniforms. The
War Department proposes to furnish the former;
the State is called upon to supply the latter, and
a special agent has gone to Albany to present
the case TO the proper authorities The cost of
these uniforms will not much exceed 100000.
Before the three months of service shall EXPIRE it
ia bop,d and confidently believed that Richmond
will be- in the hands of the Federal Government. In
this work the first requison of troops are to have
foremost place. 1t splninly important that our
mru should be in such a condition of body that they
can render their best assistance, and consequently
in such spirits that they will march cheerfuy to the
contest Moreover it il of the first consequence

end of their time 20 back feeling that they have
been treated with just consideration. Their in-
fuence upon those from among whom are to come
our volunteers for the will be powerful one way
ar the other Care should be- taken that the spirit
of loyalty have free course to produce Its valuable
fruit-a robust army.
The cost of the uniforms now asked for from the
the State ID too Insignificant in its aggregate To have
a straw's weight in the wrong side oI the scale; and
il is to be hoped that the aid so seasonable and
necessary will be furnished with an ulacrity like
that which we are accustomed 10 see III the obedent

In the English House of Commons on the

The I'd Michigan Regiment went through
Baltimore yesterday. A captain in the regiment
states that brick was thrown at a private of
Company G, and that the man who committed
the outrage was shot; whether he was killed or
not it was not known. From other sources this
story is pronounced mistake, but the account
is too circumstantial to be without foundation.
