baIIti0m at slavery an fhe
District of Columbia.

Nc25her Englishmen nor Frenchmen
have been forward to recognize the fact
that tue 10th of April, 1862, was dag
which will stand in American history rs
the greatest day since that of the Dec
Iaration of INTERCHANGEABLE day OF
this century which viii be honored
through all time, whatever may be the
destiny in store for the repabic. When
the traditions of sea and land victories
are becoming dim, when the grass has
grown HIGH on the graves of fallen be-
roes, that day will stand highest in Tho
scale of national festivals, and fhe re-
formers of the second resolution will
seem to form. in the vista of the past,
one group with the patriots of the first.
On that day tae people of the United
States ceased to be slaveholding ma
ton. Till then there had been n gulf
fixed betweea them and all those Chris
tian nations which had outgrown the
barbarism of holding men rs slaves;
and now the nation has come over to the
side on which we stand 1t is now en-
titled TO act and speak as free nation
should. 1t is now qualified to act with
us, without misgiving and without by
pocrisy. against the slave trade. 1t Is no
longer q subject for the sceptseisln and
scorn of the world, because Of the con
trast between its profession and its prac-
tce. After n struggle between the best
and the worst elements OF its society
a struggle prolonged through two gene-
rations-it has abolished slavery on the
national territory; and the national gov
ornment has ceased to be a sIaveholding
power. Slavery has sunk to be mere
state institutions; and. deprived Of naz,
tional sanction and support, and exposed,
as il now is, to the condemnation of the
American government. together with all
other governments, it can nOt long sus-
tain Itself under the scorn and loathing
of human society. As national msti-
tuition, it could assume to defy foreign
opinion. As a domestic institution"
reprohated at Washington as at London
and Paris, its doom is plain, and its
strength is broken.-London Times.

PenograpEa Of Gen. HaIIeck.

To correspondent Of the Chicago
Journal we are indebted for the follow
ing pen sketch Of the Western General:
Willie seated on the upper deck of
the steamer, at an early hour yesterday
morning, at Pittsburg Landing, with
party of military friends, quiet and
observant gentleman of about fifty, about
five feet eight in height whose weight
would, perhaps, be over one hundred
and eighty pounds, was pointed out to
me as, with one hand in his pocket and
with the other employed in removing n
cigar from his mouth and replacing it
there, he walked about among the mu-
letters ana wagons-among the stacks
Of pressed lay and bags Of oats and
corn, among the newly arrived batteries
of artillery and regiments of infantry,
and, IN short, cast an eager eve on every
Object, animate and inanimate-a saliow-
faced gentleman who was Enthusiastically,
like Paul Pry, of an enquiring dispo-
sition.'
- Occasionally during his peripatetc
rambling an officer would be seen to ap-
preach him with miSsive. and awaiting
his answer would disappear, the stout
gentleman resuming his famble and OBJ
serva;ions. Soon thin gentleman, with
full gray beard and glasses, wearing
the uniform of major general, and fol-
lowed by several staff officers, came
SI.tlVcr 4 s.,-i- e tbo D.,
teau as if in search of some one, and
then dashed forward and SHOOK hands
with the gentlen an of investigating pro-
elirities. 'On that old fellow with the
cigar, said nv friend Col -, 'ie-
ponds the fate Of orr army.in tie south
vest anal or the other rests the glory Of
saving II from utter annihilation.' As
my readers will have guessed, l was
gazing upon Halleck and Buell..

THE GREAT WANT OF THE SoUru.-
An intelligent correspondent of the
Missouri Republican, in writing concern
ing the prevailing want in Arkansas, de-
scribes the disability which belongs to
the whole South, more or less. He
says
"The great want Of the country is
schools, churches, and free labor. When
the rebellion is over, new spirit will
visit this land. The people are begin
ming to see that the great cause of all
their troubles has been the want Of gen
eral intelligence and education among
she people, and MS lie rebellion Is likely
10 remove a portion of the violent and
reckless class. from the state, their pla-
ces will be filed with a better class of
citizens, and there will he greater re-
spect paid to the institutions of religion
and liberty, and greater protection to life
and property than has hitherto been en-
joyed. One Of the fruits of this war
must be the renovation of society in
many parts of the South. and the purifi
cation of the public mind from the hurt
full prejudices which have heretofore
kept the people in ignorance and cursed
the state"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. - The following
gentlemen were yesterday appointed brigader
generals for gallant and meritorious service
in the field Col. Gersham Mott of 9th New
York Col Joseph BLAIR, of I'd New York
and Col. Nelson Taylor of 33d New York
The friends of Gen. Andrew Porter here
say he has been ordered to report to Gov.
Curtin for the organization of the volunteer
forces. Among other military officers now
here is Gen Mansfield, who will doubles be
assigned to duty under Maj Gen. Mcclellan.
A number of families left Washington yes
terday afternoon, for the north, in view of
apprehended danger. The alarm, however, is
is not general.
Col. Geo. D. Ruggles, chief of Gen. Pope's
staff is relieved from duty with that officer,
and ordered to report to Gen. Mcclellan
Col. Henry Van Rensselaer,, inspector general
U. S. A., has been ordered to report for duty
to Gen. Wright, at Cincinnati.
1t appears from General Order No. lis is
sued by the war department, that the number
of officers of the United States service who
have been exchanged as prisoners of war for
prisoners taken in arms against the United
States up to Aug. 9th is 279, including 2
brigadier generals, Reynolds and Mccall, IL
colonies, 8 lieutenant colonies, 10 majors, 50
captains, and SO LIST and I'd lieutenants.
Since Saturday morning the provost guard

Latest from the Rebel Invasion of
MARYLAND.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 8.-Nothing further has
reached here of the movements Of the rebels
in Maryland. There are many rumors,
among them one that the rebels are gathering
in some place near Westminster, % miles
from Baltimore. Some officers who have
come here express the opinion that the rebels
design moving on Baltimore.
Accounts from Frederick show that the
rebels instead of paying United States notes
for what they took, gave worthless south
ern money. Messrs. Tyler and Steiner,
Union men, and A. j. Delasham, 9ecesh,
had their stocks of boots and shoes cleaned
out, receiving in payment confederate notes.
DIR. Jencks, the postmaster took away the
mails and all the government funds before
the enemy entered.
HARRIsBURG, Sept. 6.-The latest informa-
ton from the border received at six this eve
ming, says that the rebel pickets then were
within twelve miles of Hanover, York coun-
ty. The rumor circulating in Baltimore that
the rebels are at Emmetsburg and Gettsburg,
is unfounded.
CHAMBERsBURG, Pa, Sept. S.-Midnight.
A citizen of this place who left Gettysburg at
2 this P. NJ, says he saw man who reports
no enemy between Frederick and that point
this morning.
Reports from Hagerstown this evening
stated that the enemy was in force near there.
No Geographic communication with Hagers-
town has been had since 8 o'clock.
