WASHINGTON, August 4.-The follow
ing order has just been issued:
Var Department, Washington, DC.
-4ugust 4, 1S62.-Order calling for Mili-
tia from the several States: Ordered,
First. That draft of three hundred
thousand militia be Immediately called
into the service of the United States, to
serve for nine months, unless sooner dis
charged. The Secretary of War will as
sign the quotas to The States, and estab-
lish regulations for the draft.
"Second. That if any-State shall not,
by the fifteenth Of -4aytst, furnish its quota
Of additional three hundred thousand vo2-
,n.tcers authorized by law, the deficiency
Of volunteers in that State will also be
made up by special draft from the militia,
and the Secretary Of War will establish
regulations for this purpose.
Third Regulations will be prepared
by the War Department and presented to
the President, with the object of securing
the promotion of officers of the army and
volunteers for meritorious and distiu-
guished services, and of preventing the
nomination and appointment in the mill
tary service of incompetent and unworthy
officers. The regulations will also pro-
vide for ridding the service of such in
competent persons as now hold commits
sions By order of the President.

On TO EsicEsss OUd

The general movement OF the armies of
the United States, alluded to a day or two
since in Tie Press, has already commenced.
At daybreak yesterday morning the Army
of Virginia took up the line of march
from Warrenton for Richmond, where we
trust the vanguard will soon arrive, after
this and other armies shall have overcome
the rebels in another grand pitched battle
. one in which right, left, and centre of
both armies may be engaged-where the
columns may close and show the world a
sublime spectacle of the sturdy North in
overcoming mis- Southern opponent at the
point of the bayonet-a battle in which
the great question shall be decided, ''Shall
the United States remain as great Fed
eral combination of thirty-four or more
States pa field where the blood Of
thousands Of arrogant, foolish Southern
traitors may atone for the beinous crime
committed, and the great American
national sin of omission may be washed
out by the blood of our people. The
Army of the Potomac has been ordered
to prenare for action; and as an attack
is not probable at present, it is plain that
movement of an important nature, is
designed. The ninth army corps at New
port News only awaits orders to move on,
as an invincible torlorn hope, TO the Army
of the Potoma,. A powerful blow is to be
struck, aud that very soon. Let US not
be idle at home These armies, even now
very powerful, may be almost annihilated
in the coming storm, but the rebels must
suffer most severely, and their grand army
at Richmond will be powerless for some
time after the great struggle, even though
it consists of 100000 men But a new
army must advance quickly to end the
war and crush treason in the Southern
States. This army must be raised as ie
stamped out of the ground at one football
by Abraham Lincoln. Every man that
loves his country and can be spared from
home unier the present bounty Offerings
of our citizens-even at a sacrifice to his
interests-should enroll himself in this
Army of Occupation, as We believe it will
prove to be.-PhiIa. Press

Death of Capt. Andrew Lewis.

We last week made the brief announce
ment through these columns Of the death
on the battle field of our gallant fellow
townsman, Capt. ANDREW LEWIS, who, a
little over year ago, departed from our
midst, with buoyant health and spirits, to
do battle for his country; but the subject
of his life and death demands more than
a passing notice at our hands.
Capt LEWIS was born in Philadel phia
in 1917, ana was therefore 10 years of
age when he fell. Our knowledg ge of his
earlier life is limited He took up his
residence in this place, however, about the
wear 1910, since which time he has been
with us and of US. 4 self made man, his
energy of purpose soon developed itself in
his new home, while his innate integrity
won him both respect aud position.
At the time Of the breaking out of the
Mexican war, Capt. LEWIS enrolled his
name in the Eben.burg company then
formed, (the Cambria Guards and
shouldering his musket, served with cred
IL during the entire campaign. Return
ing safely therefrom, he resumed the i'm
plcmeuts Of peace, and worked assiduously
at his profession that of house plasterer
until the breaking out of the present
Rebellion.
When the tocsin OF war was sounded by
the Traitors of the South, he again rushed
TO the rescue, and was among the first to
enroll his name. lie was elected First
Lieutenant Of the company raised in this
place for the war, Go. y, 1lth Penna.
Reserves but shortly after-op the pro-
motion of Capt. LITzINGER to u Majorship
--he was chosen Captain.
In this capacity he served up to the
time of his death. He ranked high among
his fello w-officers, and was exceedingly
beloved aud respected by his men Where
he would lead his men would follow and
tho place Of danger existed not unto which
he would not, if needs be, chcerfully, yea,
enthusiastically rush. Indeed, his bravery
had long oven passediuto byword among
those who knew him.
.a good soldier, an excellent husband
and father, a kind friend, an esteemed
citizen, aud a man il every attribute of

ecvptry with his life May it nos have

Farragut'S Famous Canal.

4 western correspondent writes as fol-
lows We have before spoken of the
chances of success OF the canal which is
being cut across the neck of land in front
of us. We have seen no reason to dis
miss our fears of its failure In the first
place it will require very considerable
rise of river in order to have the water cut
its way through the narrow ditch A
slight rise in the river is now here, but
the canal is so far from completion that
it is feared no advantage can be taken of
it, About ten feet Of water would send
it over with force enough to cut out
wide channel This much 1t is not likely
We can have before next season. Besides,
the work as it now stands, is model Of
engineering stupidity. The entrance on
the upper side is straight into recess IN
the bank, where the water actually runs
from the shore in an eddy, instead of
being run out to point In the shore
where the formidable current strikes with
wonderful velocity. And, as if to preclude
the possibility of the banks wearing above,
a long barge has been moored above the
mouth Of the ditch We despair of the
success of the canal this season. 1t has
been spoken OF to cut through the narrow
strip Of two hundred and fifty yards at
Terrapin Neck, twenty five miles above,
so that the waters rushing through would
create a temporary rise OF foot or two,
ard SO, with its present stage, it might
overcome the resistance and break across
the peninsula.
Such work would be great aud good
one, worthy of the energies OF the Govern
ment. independent of its military siSnifi-
cance- 1t would also be fine stroke of
retribu ion for the misdeeds of Nicksburg
to send the current of the Mississippi
away from her wharves forever The
citizens have been fearing it FOR years,
but not at the hands of Government. As
one Of the rankest hot beds of treason,
and next to Charleston, perhaps the aost
active in rebellion, it would be signal
punishment. to blight the place with pow
erty hereafter. But as "a military ma
n9uver we fear the undertaking cannot
be attended with any success.
The rebels have only to extend their
batteries lower down on the same ridge of
bluffs to get their guns within range of
the river at the outlet Of the canal
Besides, there is something essentially
tricky in this evading of batteries There
is nothing after all, SO completely humili-
ating and convincing to the enemy as to
beat them out of the strongholds by the
force Of powder and shot. Our men are
ready and burning to ta,e the batteries
hand to hand, with pistol and sabre, if
need be, whenever the word is given
About twelve hundred negroes are now at
work on the canal, but they work very
slowly. Two hundred Irishmen would do
twice their work any day

Correspondence of The Alleghanian
Having been released from rebel cap
tivity and once more permitted to bask In
the sunshine of our ever loyal old Key
stone, / take this occasion of dropping
you line. There are three of Co. 4
here, viz David T. James, wounded bad
ly in left shoulder. Thos p DUNN in
breast and both arms, and your obedient
servant, shot through the left breast, tn.
ball being extracted near the spine Sergt.
John E. Scanlan was with us as far as
Fortress Monroe, where be was sent
ashore He is wounded in left hip and
below the left knee His wounds were
extremely painful, but l never heard a
murmur escape his lips, and he appeared
cheerful on all occasions, Notwithstanding
being prisoner and subjected to all the
insult, starvation and persecution of Jeff's
myrmidons In all, as far as l had the
means of ascertainng, there are about
twenty or twenty-five of Co. A killed,
wounded and missing. George NJ Broom
died of his wounds in the prison in Rich
mond
We left Richmond on Friday, 26th ult-,
and reached this place on Tuesday last.
We cannot get furlough to visit our
friends, as the war department has re-
Gently issued an order, proclaiming no
more furloughs to soldiers, either wounded
or otherwise. We have stood good deal
for Uncle Sam, and we can stand that
too.
While in Richmond we were incarcer-
ated in one of those far famed tobacco
warehouses. There were eight hundred
and thirty-four sick and wounded men in
one building, among whom were large
number who had undergone amputations
The rebel authorities were humane and
magnanimous enough to assign one sur
gcon to atteud all these, while forty of
our own surgeons were prisoners in the
city, and would gladly have cared for our
wounded, had they been permitted
Those warehouses are the most filthy and
obnoxious places to be found anywhere.
We were obliged to lie on the floor, which
was coated to the depth of an inch and a
half, with filth of every description. Our
food was S ounces Of bread per day.
The remainder of our Regiment are on
an Island in the James River, opposite
Richmond, called Bells Isle. There arc,
besides, about 5000 others on the Island.
Yours, &c. WM. a. LEAYY.
