Through a mistaken policy you have been
heretofore deprived Of a participation in
the glorious struggle for National rights in
which our country is engaged. This no

To every noblc-hcartcd, generous freeman

! present contest with Great Britain, and no

On enrolling yourselves in companies, the

letter from General Popc's army to the
New York Ti1ac', gives the following hope
iul account Of the way things are now done
in the army of General Pope, under his new
order;
The health of the troops here is uniformly
good. and it would be difficult to find an
clual number of men, in one body in better
spirits. The rations all that can be desired
good, and plenty of them, and since the
order OF General Pope to forage upon the
enemy, the fresh beef, mutton, "&c.,' ar"
perfectly delicious assisted lin the French
scnscl the other day in the slaughter of a
fine Young bullock and a number of sheep
and pigs. and Vas considerably astoniShrd
at the very general akilltulncSS displayed by
the men in dressing the animals The meat
was delivered to the cooks as clean and as
neatly cut up rs is usually seen in our mar
kcts. The cooking, too has been wonder
fully improved. Formerly, when piece of
beef, mutton or pork was received, ii was
dumped into large camp kettle and boiled
IA roast, or fry, or broil was hardly ever
thought possible Now, chops and steaks
are not uncommon for breakfast and boiled
and roasted meats are often companions on
the dinner table, when in camp.
And what is true of the second army corps
Is also true of the first. The health of the
troops is excellent Both camps are delight
fully situated numerous springs from which
water Tor cooking and drink is easily obtain
cd for the men.

Jacob LAUDER and John McCulloch, engi-
nccrs, were thrown down once or twice from
the wind of flying shot, and their assistant
John r. Skelton, was struck with small
fragment of shell on the left had---the most
scr.ous wound received by any one on the
Queen of the West.
DIsMANTLED APPEARANCE OF THE RAM.
The Queen presents a most dismantled
and torlorn appearance, and is as nearly
shot to pieces, for any vessel that will float,
as can well be imagined. The many who
have visited her since her terrible experience
are with difficulty persuaded that not one OF
her crew was killed or dangerously wounded.
She has the scmblance of complete wreck,
and it will he necessary to send her North at
once for repairs, though some think her
injury too great for rcmedy-that she is not
worth the mcnding.
Shells exploded in her cabin, shiyering
her furniture, crockery, and statc-rooms to
pieces. The wardrobe of the crew was
converted into rags, and hardly whole
garment or pair of boots or shoes can be
found on the boat. She is dcnted and dam
aged, and blackencd and splintered, and
sngcd and shattered, as if she had passed
through a score of the iiercest battles, and
presents as good an example of the amount
of injury that may be done to boat without
absolutely destroying her as it would be
convenient to present, or easy to discover in
twelve months service on the tlotilla.

c97" DANGER OF FOREIGN INTERvEN-
TGoN.-Hon A. s. Divcn, member of Con-
grcss from New York, who is now engaged
in raising regiment in that State, thus
speaks of Foreign intervention:
He said that she had the express authori-
"ty of Secretary Seward to tell the people
''that he had assured the representatives of
"forcign nations, from time to time, that the
"Rebellion would be crushed out and that,
"in order to prevent Intervention in favor of
"thc Rebellion, he had now named a time
$50 short that he dared not make it public,
land that such Intervention could not be
prevented but by an immediate response to
''thc call for three hundred thousand men,
Assuming it to be true, it explains the
present extraordinary activity of the Go
ycrnment, and should awaken the people to
the vital importance of enforcing prompt
and energetic action, now!

~" THE CIRCULATION OF STAMrs.-
There seems to be some misapprchcnsion in
regard to the circulation of postage stamps.
The ordinlr Try stamps will not be used for that
purpose The Secretary of the Treasury
will furnish postage stamps to he USED aS a
circulating medium, under the law, in such
form that they cannot be attached to letters
or other malable matter. Such stamps will
hc exchanged by postmastcrs for the regular
postage stamps, besides being rcdCcmabic
in treasury notes by the assistant trcasurcrs
and such designated dcpositaric3 as the
Secretary of the Treasury may select No
pos.a.yc stamps can be thus exchanged at
IN, post offices or redeemed by the Treasury
Department. unless furnished through the
agencies oi that department. Postage
stamps now sold 10y postmastcrs are not
,,ehangcallc or rcdccmablc by them, and if
such stamps are gummcd to pastcboard or
other paper, which spoiis or renders them
unfit to be used in the prepayment OF postage,
they will be rejected for postage, because
when so so,lcd they cannot be distinguished
from stamp. which have already been used
for postage.
The new stamps issued for circulation
will be much larger than letter stamps, and
as we understand this subject, are simply
small Treasury orders, redcemablc in regular
letter stamps, or in Treasury notes IN sums
of not less than five dollars.

~ THE NEGRO CoMPAHY.-On Monday
last the citizens Of Harrisburg found hand
bills posted through the city, announcing
that negro meeting would he held in
Market Square, which would be addressed
by Gen. Lane, for the purpose of recruiting
q negro company. This was, OF course, got
up by some of the rebel sympathizcrs to
bring contempt on the Government and to
cause dissatisfaction among the so)diers.--
The Provost Marshal has orders to ferret out
