HONOR AMONG. THIEVES. - This old
adage, like many others, is likely to be
greatly damaged if not entirely exploded
during these trying times of civil war.
We hear almost daily of Morgan's and
Forests guerrlllas robbing their sick
End wounded comrades, and leaving
them to the cold charity of-strangers.
But the climax of villainy and ingrat-
itude has been reached, in the reported
coup d etat of Adam johnson the chief
of the Green River Robbers.
1t is correctly reported that this arrant
horse thief, after seducing hundreds of
young men to follow his fortunes, and
rob and plumber their neighbors, and oft
times their own relations, has suddenly
disappeared carrying with him the i'll
gotten gains of the band, some 500, 600,
with which he is said to have fed to
Texas
This is the report. 1t may not be true,
but it would be very like him -@

COL, A. A. G. and ohief Of sal:

HARRIsBURG, July Is.-Much regret is
expressed here that the Government has
refused to send. as far as practicable, into
the varions States, the sick aud wounded,
in which they were enlisted. One of the
State hospitals at this place has been
closed, by order of the Medical Depart.
ment of the United States, so limiting the
number that accommodations had been
made for by the State authorities. This is
but one of the difficulties encountered by
the patriotic and benevolent efforts of
States to better the condition of their SOL
diers. Great anxiety is felt by relatives
and friends of the sick and wounded SOL
diers now here aud constantly arriving, ON
account of the restrictive orders, aud dis
appointment ia the order of the day.
Grave fears are expressed that this &c
tion will retard eulistments under the new
call, the prospect for enlistments for three
years throughout the State SO far as heard
from is favorable but II is believed that the
numbers will be largely increased if the
term of service is made one year as indiea-
ted by the bill just passed Congress. We
learn that an order will soon be issued far
the establishment of camps In various parts
of the State and that in all cases where Il
is possible the volunteers will be formed
into regiments in the counties and districts
where they reside.

WAsHISGroS, July ls.-The Richmond
Enquirer, of July 18th. appears alarmed
at the order of our War Department con-
centrating the forces of Mcdowell, Fremont
and Banks under Gen. Pope, and reminds
its readers in that quarter that he-is no
toriously one of the most dangerous Union
commanders; an officer of great activity
and daring. aud is very apt to do uuex-
ampIed things. 1t adds:
"The foray into Orange county and the
destruction of the railroad bridge over the
Rapidan, by the enemy, is a challenge on
the part of Gen. Pope that our Generals
have now to take up"
The Enquirer, commenting on the threat
ening aspect of McClellau's present opera
lions, says:
ave, must again dig, dig, dig, or McCIel-
Ian will dig into Richmond. The spade
can only be conquered with the spade, aud
the shovel will always defeat them"
OF President Lincoln's recent visit to the
Army of the Potomac, the Enquirer says
ga dirty trio, Lincoln, Stanton and Win
field Scott, passed by Old Point on Thurs
day last, en- route for McClellan's Head
quarters, at or near Berkly. A gentle
man who SAW the steamer which convey
ed this dirty trio of Yankee negro-steaI-
ers, says there was n band of music on
board, and many flags and streamers fiut-
tering gaily TO the breeze"

From the Washington Inteligencer of Thursday. ]
It is with much qualification that we
hear of the arrival in Hampton Roads of
another body of effective troops, being the
division of Gen. Stevens, from South Car
DINA, and intended doubtless to reinforce
the army operating against Richmond.
THIS division which after its long service
in South Carolina, cannot be presumed to
be very strong in numbers, arrived in
Hampton Roads on Tuesday last on board
the steamers Vanderbilt, Mississippi and
Ben De Ford.
II is said to consist in part of the 10th
New York. 50th Penna., 9Th Michigan, 9Tth
Pennn., 2sth Mass, 9TH Conn.,, aud of two
batteries OF Artillery. All the sick and
disabled men of the command were left
behind.
A Washington dispatch to the Inquirer,
says Gen. Hnlleck is now on the road to
this city, and will reach here in couple of
days. 1t is understood that on his arrival
he will be assigned to the position of Gen :
commanding the armies of the United
States both in the Southwest aud Virginia.
He will consequently remain in Washing
ton and be in constant intercourse with
the President and the War Department.
Gen. McCIellau will continue in COM

wAsHNaroH, July 1s.-We feel at liber-
ty to state that yesterday portion of the
army of Gen. Pope entered the important
town of Gordousville, Va, unopposed, aud
duly destroyed the railroad parapherCalin
at that point, the junction of the Orange {
Alexandria and Virginia Central Railroads
Three-fourths of the troops, munitions and
supplies of every description for the rebel
army at Richmond, of necessity passed
through Gordonsville by rail. The blow is
therefore most important one, more espe-
cially as it is the first of series which we
trust will do more to cripple the efficiency
of the rebel army of Richmond, than
aught that has yet occurred.
