aR LOYAL GOVERNORS IN WASHINGTON
THEIR VISIT TO THE PRESIDENT.
POINTS OF THEIR ADDRESS,
A RESERVE OF 100000 MRN RECON-
MENDED.
WHAT THEY DID NOT DO AT ALTOONA.

Most OF the Governors who met at Altoona
are now in Washington. They called on the
President yesterday, to make certain recon-
mendations in regard to the removal Of the
sick and wounded soldiers, to secure increased
efficiency Of the army, including such measures
as will prevent the abuse of furloughs.
Governor Andrew, OF Massachusetts,, pre-.
sented an address, signed by all tbe Governor.
except Governor Bradford, Of Maryland.
It expresses confidence in, and cordial re
spect for, the President, . discrimination, un-
der all circumstances, to support and maintain
bis constitutional authority, pledging him the
power Of the people Of their several States 10
this behalf. They 60 for the most vigorous
prosecution Of the war till the rebellion Is sub
dued. They congratulate the President on his
proclamation and express their belief that II
will do much good. They commend 1t as q
measure Of justice and sound policy. They
conclude their address by expressing their RS
gard for, and confidence 10, our gallant OF,
and men who have fought our battles.
In their meeting, at Altoona, they agreed to
recommend the raidng Of 100000 men, to be
drilled and disciplined at home, to be subjec,
to call when needed. Their term of service to
he twalve manths, unlsss sooner dismissed.
Much Of the talk, 10 the newspapers, about
their discussions and disagree ements at Altoona
Is bogus. The meeting was Harmonious
| throughout.
Governor Bradford, alone, dissented from the
wisdom of the Emancipation Proclamation.
No action was taken or discussion had 10
reference to General Fremont or General Nc
Clellsn.
Much good, we think, vlll come of thi,
meeting. II

What a BayOnet Charge is.

1t is said that severe as the fight at Pitts
burg Landing undoubtedly was, but one bay
! onet wound has been discovered by our sur
geons there, and that was inflicted by a bar
barous rebel upon a helpless! sick soldier,
( lying in hospital tent. Some surprise has
/ been expressed al this fact there is gen.
! eral impression that after a bayonet charge.
if the coniesting forces are composed OF
brave men, there should be great number
ol such wounds. The truth is, that bayo-
net charge is a very different affair from
what it is eeneralIy.supposed. Insihe first
place, the regiment or other force which
makes the charge, though probably ranged
as near as possible squarely opposite its
enemy, cannot keep up this formation dn-
ring the quarter Of mile or more of ground
viii ch must be traversed by il before the
foe is reached. Even with the best drilled
and bravest men, one end of the line lags
behind, and if the enemy should stand still
TO receive the charge, only part OF the line
would be engaged at first In practice,
however, military writer's confess that bay
onets are very rarely actually crossed. n
bayonet charge usually takes one of three
turns either the charging party by its firm
ness and impetuosity, throws the opposing
force into panic and it breaksi,rau and
flies without awaiting the lhrus, of the bay
onet or, by firmness and well directed
voIey at short distance, the side which is
attacked drives of the other; or in the few
esl case, both sides behave well, and then
in IN e words o. one of our most experien-
ced generals, s"ihe best sergeant decides
the fate OF the charge"
Because only the sergeant and one or two
men at the end of the line which first comes
in contact witl the enemy's lines are really
engaged during the few decisive moments,
aud thus The conduct, individual bravery
and strength OF perhaps half dozen men,
who alone cross bayonels with the enemy,
gain the victory for the side 10 which they
belong. "What do you suppose we keep
our bayoneis bright Tor, but 10 scare the en-
who was inquiring into the nature ofbayonet
charges and a marshal OF France wrote !;
"It is not the number killed but the num-
Der of frightened that decides The issue Of
a battle +" Jomino says distinctly that be
saw bayonet fight but once in all his
military experience ahd il is related by
one of the historians of Napoleon's wars.
that when he French were once charging
the prussans with The bayonet, when the
iauer could moi or would not retreat, there
ensued a spectacle unexpected by the Off
GERS OF either side. The French and Prus-
sian soldiers clubbed their muskets, and
fought desperately.

how he has proved his attachment to the
party here at his own home. We have
known Gen. Ross for many years, as clev-
er citizen and a man of wealth; but we
confess we never knew him as an active
politician save in opposition TO the demo-
cratic party and the democratic organization
of Luzene.
As we are credbly informed, he first
started out, when young man, by oppos
ing Gen. Jackson in 1928, and supporting
Adams. His next step was in 1914, in
coalescence with the Wings OF the district
as candidate for Senator in opposition to
the late Andrew Beaumont. The regular
Democratic nominee While in the Senate
he illustrated his attachment to the demo-
cracy by boiling" the cancus nomination
and assisting in the election oil Simon Cam
eron. Gen. Ross then snbsided into private
life, and pursued course politically which
gave him the character of anything but
consistent democrat-unti the rebellion
broke out and a fine opening was presented
by the hollow professions Of Union made
by the AbolitionisIs (who had control OF
the Government) for just this sort of fishy
material. He was last year nominated by
The Republican convention as a candidate
for the Legislature, and elected by less than
a hundred votes. Although he called him.
self "Union democrat he acted with
the Republican party throughout the whole
session. He voted, among other things, to
siifle the voice of old Luzerne by denying
TO Messrs. Walsh and Trimmer their seats,
and installing the two Abolition candidates,
Fall and Russell, whom the Supreme Court
have decided had not the slightest right
there. By this act he assisted in throwing
the IasI House of Representatives into the
hands OF the Republicans-thus again illus
trated his claim TO the title of Democrat
In addition, il is said, he also voted against
paying Messrs Walsh and Trimmer (the
Democratic candidates. their mileage and
expenses in c,ntesiine their seats.
We have thus hastily sketched the Gen.
erals political character, in order to illus
:rate the gross imjus,ice he Philadelphia
Press and other Republican papers are do
ing him in calling him democrat. II Si-
mon Cameron, A. H. Reeder, Judge Kuox
and other Aholiiiorisis are democrats then
is Judge Ross also. But we think the Dem
ocracv Of Pennsylvania will wan, some bet>
ter evidence than the record we have alIu-
ded 10, TO convince them of that fact.
