GENERAL GurrAR's ORDER.-General
Guitar has issued an order for disarming
every person. and combination of per.
sons" North of the Missouri river. not
acting under orders from some civil or
military officer. This clause in the or
der has produced much comment and
CONSERVATION among Union men in this
country, who affirm that they cannot
keep their horses or stock on their farms
fifteen minutes after their rifles are taken
from their premises. 1t was talked on
the streets that q large public meeting
ought to be called to denounce the pro-
ceeding.
General Guitar is q man Of some sense,
but bis orders have thus far failed to
please the unconditional Union men of
Missouri. We have not the slightest
idea that It was his intention to take every
revolver and shot gun and rife from the
farmers and Union men of his district.
That order is simply intended to disarm
the thieves and bushwhackers, and vii
lains who are stealing from. and shooting
Union men in North Missouri. If our
view is correct. the order is right. If

The APPROACHING END OF THE Re.
BELL,oN.-The heavy telling blows, in
qnick succession. received by the rebels
at Gettysburg. vicksburg. Port Hudson,
Charleston, and in Tennessee. cannot fail
to crush them very speedily il followed
up BY other movements. The moral
and physical effects are equally tremen-

The capture Of Fort Wagner and Cum
ming's Point is all that is needed for the
certain destruction or surrender of Fort
Sumter; and Fort Sumter is the key to
the possession of the city or the means of
its destruction. With this fort in the
hands of our troops or destroyed, all the
defences Of Charleston or james Islsnd
can be turned. and rendered of no avail,
while Fort Moultris and the elaborate
defences on Sullivan's Island will become
isolated. and the rebel troops there will
have to retreat in order to save them
selves from capture. By the skill Of
Gen. Gilmore the rebels have been COM
pletely taken BY surprise. and we would
not be sstonished to hear in one week

opposed to the enforcement of the laws.
Keep quiet. gentlemen. We never saw
better time for silence on the part oil
Democrats than the present. Tbs le-
gitimate fruits of the speeches made BY
Democratic orators are daily showered
upon us. We ask all. who think Gov

of the Conscript Law. to read his late
speeches.

PHILADELPHIA, July 20.
Statements received here as to the
movements Of both Meade and Lees ar
mics are very conflicting. 1t is confident
ly believed that Meade has Lees COM
munication with Richmond at his mercy.
Both srmies are making rapid move
ments south west. and a great battle no
doubt will be fought north of the Rap
pahannock. Direct communication be-
tween the army of the Potomac and
Washington has been established, while
but little hopes. according to the state
ment of a deserter, are entertained by
the rebels Of being able to reach Rich
mond in safety. Their whole flank is
seriously annoyed by our cavalry. Lees
force is estimated as follows:
Stuart's cavalry, 11.0O0; Longstreet's
and Ewell's corps $4,000 each; Hills
corps Is, 900; these, with $4,000 more
rebels at Richmond and Petersburg, are
reported to constitute the whole rebes
force. The Confederscy never had al
few troops as at present. Since their re-
cent losses. at Port Hndson and Vicks-
burg. all the troops they can muster are
estimated as follows 80 900 at Charles
ton. under Beauregard; 10000 at Mobile;
$4,000 under Marmsdnke aud Price; 90
900 under Johnston; SO. 600 under Bragg;
25. 900 at various detached points-in all
only 100000. Lees army is the largest
and best organized in the South. and the
fate Of the Confederacy depends on him.
Lee has received orders not to fight
Meade now. bat manenvre in such q
manner as to draw the Union army to-
ward Stanton or Gordonsville, by which
time they hope to reinforce Lee.
1t is rumored in Washington that the
Major Generalship in the army. made

will be rendered to General Grant.
Neither the War or Navy Departments
received any thing from Charleston later

with great slaughter.
The gunboat Pswnee which supported

terry opened on her, firing about City

LATER.-A charge was made on Fort
Wagner. and our troops, after despsr-
ste struggle. were obliged to fall back.
which they did in excellent order. and
held their old positions. The loss on our
side was quite severe, but our total loss
of killed, wounded and missing since the
10th, is only about LOCO.

No ElihchinS Now.

We ought to have had the draft
months ago. We have been too mealy
mouthed about it. We have allowed the
great principle without which no ma
ton can exist, to be weakened in the
dangerous embrace of sentiment. The
draft is the Government calling for the
duty the citizen owes the State. How
long would Government maintain itself
were it to receive only the voluntary con.
tributions of its people instead of taxes
and revenues. And it will be no safer to
leave it to the people to voluntarily en-
gage in the stern and protrscted duty of
defending the Government. 1t is sac
rifce that calls for both property and
life. Is it righ that the willing should
alone bear this burden? Manifestly not.
And, furthermore. the experience of the
past two years shows it is actually court
ing danger from . new quarter to ex-
clusively summon faithful citizens to the
ranks. and thereby lower the standard Of
loyalty at home. 1t will not do to set
wolves to guard sheep folds. 1t is not
safe to make such partition Of citizen
duty as shall leave the voting to the Cop
perheads. ".1u -
1t is no time to regret the oversighls
OF the past. We have lost two seasons
in putting our conscripts into the field.
We have foolishly allowed on every
hand, q prejudice to be fostered. both di.
rect and implied. against the principle Of
CONSUMPTION. 1t is not right. The con-
script holds an honorable place in this
war. In thouands of cases the drafted
soldier will experience . sense Of relief,
that, whereas. be had not the resolution
to decide against homo and civil ties. the
lot decides for him. and places him where
his heart has urged him to 60. in the
army Of bis country. There are. - there
have been. thousands whose impulses to
enter the service have not been strong
