major rrophnlIAr.,n.

Major McPhail came out in second card
yesterday in the Press, in reply to our com.
ments on his former one. The most COM
plimeptAry thing. that we can say of his eff
fort is that It is weaker than the former
one. The Major, poor man, has nothing to
say and he says it very ridiculously. AS
an instance, he attempts to extenuate his
forthcoming by saying that it is we'll
known fact that the guard around the Gus
tom House was so particular about letting
any person approach the building after
night, that even letter could not be drop
ped in the letter-box of the Post.ofice.
The Major omfts The whole gist OF the thing
which is, that the parties who attempted
the robbery evidently came into the build
ing in daylight aud secreted themselves up
next to the roof. He certainly has not
forgotten what was discovered up there to
mark the hiding place. Neither can he have
forgotten that they escaped out of the win
dow Of Auditor Cranes roon-letting them
selves down by a rope. Why then does he
tribe away ink and paper with talking
a6Oa. how strict the solitary guard was
who paced TO aud fro along the pavement
of the Custom House. The remarkable
vigilance of the guard alluded to certaiuly
did not prevent the escape Of the robbers.
and it could not prevent their entrance into
the building in daylight.
But what is the use Of travelling over the
ground again. The Major knows that he
can not make out case, and the whole
know it. - -

Nine Thousand Men from Tonnes
see-The Oscillation OF War.
The following private letter has been re-
ceived by David Brazie, Esq, of this city {:
-Utiea Herald.
CAM GAuLEr BRIDGR, Aug. 20, 1862.
DEAR FATHER-Your letter of the 3rd
inst. WAS received in due time, and this is
the first time that have been at lVizure to
answer it. Last Friday morning we were
compelled to fall back from Meadow Bluffs
to this post. Gen. Magruder reinforced
the rebels the day before we left, with
5000 men from Tennessee-so the scouts
say. This line of operations is very little
spoken of in any of the papers that | have
seen, and but little is known of as ex-
cept what is written home to our
friends To show you the severity of
our work here, / will give you the list of the
losses IN our regiment since it has been in
the field. We left Guyandotte on the 9Th
of May with $40 men for duty, and this
morning the reports show 46l for duty, SO
sick, l26.prisoners of war, 81 discharged
for disability from wounds received in nc-
ton, l72 killed In battle, and 81 died in
hospital. Now, If any regiment had bee
so cut up before Richmond, the prO;le
would applaud their deeds but we are in
the mountains of West Virginia, where we
are forgotten by the world. aud where no
honors are to be gained, do what We may.
Our Lieut.. Colonel aud three line officers
are among the prisoners of war. You hear
and read of the valor aud glorious deeds of
the army, but do not know the suffering
and destruction that follows where an ar
my moves. When you see women and
children driven from their homes without
any of their property or household goods,
and made to witness their homes, that they
labored years TO make comfortable, burn
ed before their eyes, you may think
it hard; but the most affecting sight was.
when We fell back, to see whole families
trying to escape from the enemy, who were
close upon our heels. Little babes in their
mothers arms, aud others from three to ten
years old, trying to keep up with Us, was
more than many of US wish to see again.
Then human nature showed itself in its
true shape. You could see men who could
face the enemy without fear, aud witness
death in its most hideous form with a calm
face, now shed tears at the sight of those
children. Many threw away their KNAPP
sacks and carried children on their backs,
others leading those that could walk. ON.
GERS were on foot, giving up their horses to
the weary little ones: and thus.we marched
torty-eight miles. Gould you of the North
see this, there would be no cause to draft
men; they would rush to the field to put a
stop to this unholy rebellion.
Yours truly, H. W. BRLEIE.

Editors Infslligeneer:
At meeting of the preachers of Morgan

pointed Secretary.
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty God,
in his infinite wisdom, TO call from among
us our beloved brother aud co-labOrer, Rev.
G. Battelle, in the prime of his manhood
and the zenith of his usefulness; and,
WHEREAS, This eminent aud efficient
Minister of Jesus Christ was so long and
favorably known us, that the intelligence
of his death fell With crushing weight upon
our hearts and filled US With grief. Be it,
therefore,
Resolred, That we bow with unfeigu-
ed submission to this inscrutable dis
pensatiou of Divine Providence-comfort-
ing our hearts with the reflection that
while "clouds and darkness are round
about him. judgment and justice are the
establishment of His throne" and that
'sHe does oil things i0eE."
RsS0lUed, That we will remember the
life of our lamented brother, as one emin-
emily "adorniDg the doctrine of God our
Savior" and as worthy of our imitation,
aud that in his death the church has lost
one of her most able and successful minis
tiers, and the country, in this time of its
| inperiled condition, one of its most ardent
and faithful supporters pure minded and
devoted patriot from religious conTic ions.
Resolped, That the widow of our esteem
ed brother has our deep and heartfelt sym
pathy; and that we will faithfully com
mend her, and her fatherless children, in
our prayers, to the care and beuedietion oil
Him who is the "Judge Of the widow and
the father of the fatherless.'

The Part Gen. sIgel Took In the Re-

ing Properly Supported.
Correspondence Of the n. Y. Tribune.

NJ L
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4, 1862.
From an officer of high rank in General
SigePs army, who has just arrived here
wounded, gather the following facts,
which seem to me important enough to re-
peat.
The first fact is that Sigel, on Tuesday,
the 26th of August, gave notice to General
Pope that the advance guard of the enemy
had passed through ThOroughfare Gap,
aud that the main body of the army was at
White Plains and Salem-his rear at Or
leans. This was the first authentic infor-
nation received by Pope, and by this TO-
formation the army was saved.
The second fact is that Gen. Sigel did
all within his power to induce Gen. Pope
to change his front, in order to throw his
whole force from Warrenton, Greenwich,
and Marrenton junction 10 Gainesville, for
the purpose of breaking the enemy's lines,
which moved in half circle to Manassas,
and to attack Jackson in the rear. Pope
adopted this maueuVre aud Jackson would
have been lost it the different commanders
had acted promptly aud in conjunction.
The third fact is that Sigel engaged the
enemy, consisting of the corps of Jackson,
Ewell, and Hill for eight hours, and that
the battle $50 says Sigel himself) would
have beeL won if Mcdowell had at noon
attacked the enemy on the left, and Porter
on the right. But Mcdowell appeared at
81 o'clock, p. M, in front, aud Porter did
not take part in the fight at all. Aud even
on the next day these corps did not per-
form the requested movements. Pope de-
layed his attack until three o'clock in the
afternoon, and this delay gave the enemy
time to throw his main force from his LEFT
wing TO the right. OF this movement Gen
Pope was informed by Sigel, who had an.
ticipated an attack from that side, and who
had sent the 4th New York Cavalry on a
Reconnaissance.
to understand that they can be substantial
ted if contradicted.

Austria Russia and Prussia commenced The
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Poland, upon the plea that
they needed the territory of that country ito
round off their boundaries" A similar spirit
has seized a writer in England, who in recent
number of the New Monthly Magazine, discus
ses what he calls "the rectifcation Of the bound
AIRY of British America"
The writer anticipates a speedy war between
Great Britain and the United States, in which,
as matter of course, the former will be victor
ious. He then sets forth the terms as to bound
airy between the United States aud British
America, upon which Great Britain should in
sist in the new treaty of peace The Columbia
river should form the southern boundary Of the
British possessions on the Pacific. Canada re-
quires an open seaport for use in winter; there
fore, the whole State Of Maine is to be reinquish-
ed to England that they may have Portland
Lake Champlain--we wonder that an English
writer would mention that lake-empties into
the st. Lawrence; therefore, the northern por-
tioDs of Vermont and New York are to be an
nexed TO Canada. And thus the writer runs
on through long essay, in which he seems to
labor under the idea that the people of the Uni
ted States are a kind of Western Hindoos, whose
territory is TO be taken from them with as much
ease as if it lay in India or Burrnah.
Such speculations are very ridiculous, but
they serve us straws to show which way the
wind blows. They would not be admitted into
such periodical as the New Monthly Maga-
zine If it were not known that they would be ac-
ceptable TO its readers
