CHESTER, Aug. 9th, 1862.
While others have been doing SO
nobly in sending supplies to the Sani-
tary Commission from other parts OF
the county, Chester has not been entirely
idle.
We sent ? large, we'll filled and val
liable boxes, early in the winter, and
have sent 3 since; making in all boxes
from Chester and vicinity, and 8 dol
lars in money, all of which have been
ackn owledgcd by the Commission
Kaviag examined nearly all that nas
been sent, we are prepared to cay, they
have been valuable donations, and the
people CT Chester AID vicinity are en-
titled to muoh credit for the manner ia
which tbey nave responded to this call
OF tAc country.
The Commission, ho wever, is still
needy, and we. hope those who have
done so well vii not weary ia we'll do
lag; and those who have, as yet, done
nothing, will commence he work imme-
diateiy.
Let boxes be iIlod in every noighbor-
hood and sent to the ''Cincinnati Saui.
tary Commission" aud much will be
done towards providing for the comfort
of cur noble volunteers, especially the
sick and Wounded.

Hit Him Again.

The last Kanawha Republican has
this appropriate notice Of the recreant
Senator, John S. Garlic. 1t says:
"John S. Carlile has made speech in
Clarksburg, in Wheeling, and at the
quasi Secesh Convention held at Iudi-
annapolis. These speeches, if rightly
reported, put our u S. Senator SO far
over on the side of the rebellion, that
we think Gov. NJ orton, Of Indiana, ought
to have ordered his arrest with Valland-
igham & Co. We can't suppose the
loyal men of Virginia will permls Mr.
Carlile again to take his seat in the
Senate. lie was sent there as an un-
conditional Union man, and his constit-
uents will not, in this crisis of the eoun
try, permit their servants to swerve from
the course they have designed them to
pursue; much less will they permit one
to leave the prescribed tract, and wan=
der off demagoguing on mischievous
issues
We believe there is not loyal paper
in Virginia which has not denounced
this renegade, and demanded his resig,
nation Public 3eetings are being
held, and the samedepand made by the
people His recent Outrageous har-
rangue, at the Democratic Convention in
indianapolis, in which he went the full
length Of that conclaye of traitors, has
aroused the Indignation of every loyal
man in his own State. He is in full
fellowship with Yallandigham and
his squad Of copperheads.

Compliment of GEN. Pope to his troops.

~
On receipt Of Gen. Halleck' S compli-
mentary order, already published, Gen.
Pope issued general order, embracing
Ia:leck 5 dispatch, ordering it read at
the head Of every regiment and detach-
ment in the command, and spbjoining:
The Major-General Commanding the
army OF Virginia has little to add to this
dispatch. 1t is feeble expression OF
his feelings to say that he was delighted
and astonished at the gallant and intre :
pid conduct Of his command, and espec-
tally Of the second corps. Success and
glory are sure to accompany such con
duct, and it is safe to predict that Cedar
Mountain is only the first of a series of
victories which shall make the Army of
Virginia famous in the land, and draw
very close to the hearts OF their coun-
trymen every officer and soldier who be-
longs to it. JOHN POPE,
Major-G General Commanding.

Who Expected 1t.
"Who would ever have supposed ff-
teen mouths ago that John S. Carlile
would to-day be Joined hand in hand
with the secessionists in the work of
destroying the confidence of the people

then to see him meeting in secret night

Possessing soHe ability, with an amount

all good men, and the reviler Of the
Government was, undoubtedly, one of
the most dangerous men in the State
Most thoroughly imbued with the spirit
OF the Southern traitors, whose willing
tool he has always been, he has exerted
all his influence to stir up strife at hom e
and prevent enlistments in the patriotic
army. IF he had stood upon his own
bankrupt character, he might have been
endured. But, with the adroitness of
the demagogue, he preached his treason
under the mask CT the Democratic
party" and, most unfortunately, had
instilled his traitorous principles into a
large class in his district. As an eyi-
dence OF this, it Is only necessary to say
that lie came very near being nominated
for Congress in the Democratic Conven-
ton which sat Il few days before his ar
rest, being defeated only after sicg bal
lots. In lis speeches he has gone be-
yond most of the South Carolina con-
spirators in denunciation of the North
He called upon the Democrats to refuse
to volunteer, and to resist being drafted
at the point Of the bayonet. He coun-
seled civil war at home. Urging that
the Democrats would arm themselves
and deluge the State in blood kre
they would submit, Sc. His al
partlsans are trying to make capita out
of us arrest : representing that he was
arrested simply because he was Dem

NIT, we trust, to have the party made
responsible for the crimes of desperate
conspirators who use the party name
only as a shield for their treason.

Battle Near White River.

Battle Near White River
Day before yesterday, on White river
near Clarendon, an engagement took
place between the division of General
Hovey, consisting of six regiments of
infantry and eight regiments Of cavalry,
and part Of Hindman's force which
had been sent forward from Little Roc
to check the advance of the Union army.
The battle ragged some time with destruc-
tive results.
The l1th Indiana regiment lost seven
men killed; how many fell in the other
regiments engaged we have not been in
formed At length the contest ended
by the defeat and route of Hindman $
men, and the capture Of seven hundred
prisoners.
Gen. Ilovey managed his men with
great skill and courage. He has fur

1 is an officer Of great resources, and
Of bold, original, and successful achieve
ments. They will follow any where in
