The i'enn2. Reserves,

Considerable dissatisfaction has been ex-
cited among The Penna. Reserves, by the
claim on the part Of the authorities at Wash
ington to their service for two or thrse
months after the expiration Of their term Of
enlistment and service-three years It
will be reco!lected that this noble body Of
men was first organized under the State
authorities and after two or three months
inltiatory service and preparation, were turn
ed over to the Uni:ed States From which
time they have been in active anremtting
service-shared in almost every battle. and
everywhere have exhibited such bravery.
fortitude and perseverance, that they have
not only acquired the proud distinction OF
being the !" bravest os TIE brave" but have
had their ranks decimated over and over
again. o. the original 5000 splendidlv arm
ed men of three years ago, but a feR hun
dreds remain. Out of this handful of veter.
ans, the Government" wishes to Wrinc .
few more weeks Of hard service-a little
more of toll and sweat and blood Because
forsooth, they spent two or three months
OF their preparatory service in Pennsylvania
before being turned over to the United
States authorities What a noble generous
Government" we have What rrGuifal
for all the sacrifices Of the Brave PeDna

Greeley farming " COperhead."

few days ago Greeley made a speech in
Brooklyn, in which he uttered the following
sentiment, as reported in the Tribune =
He had great sympathy for large clas, of
people known as "poor whites" a, the South
He believed this great class of people the
war was calculated to eIyafe. Mr.. Greeley
Illustrated this point fully, ard continued BY
saying that country like ihe South coua
only be conquered through he good will of a
part of her people, and there was a class Of
people entirely on our side.
Mark it ] " a country Ike The South can
ONLY be conquered through the good will of
part Of her people" This is what the con
scyvatiye portion Of the people have sad
from the beginning. Af;er a bloody
and cxhausting war Of three years, this most
obvious truth just dawns upon Greeley's
mind.
If the sentiment is correct, then it was
the part Of wisdom and true craftsmanship
to coHciliate the "good will of a part" OF
the Southern people, and party not utterly
bereFt Of reason and really dcsIrous of restor.
ing the linton, would have adopted some
measures adapted to that end. But how
unlike this is he policy actually used? AT
the beginning Of The war, The friends Of the
Union in the South were numbe red by tAous
ands. Instead Of binding these friends to u>
by judicious treatment, every step taken by
the administration has tended to estrange
and irritate them, and to consolidate public
opinion in The Seeded States against the
old Union, and in favor Of Southern indie
pendencs.
II the country is to ba saved, must we not
speedily have a change of policy ?

Aug. Is, lsC&. J
This camp is on the James river, four
miles above Bermuda Hundred, on the
south side.
Ga Saturday and yesterday Sunday
there vas heavy firing from our guuboats
in the river, ani the Rebels on the North
side of it, concealed 10 the woods. The
Rebels were trying to stop the men EN-.
ployed in digging the canal to cut of
For. Darling. The guuboa,s lay about
two miles up the river. Yesterday, mus
ket firing was very rapid and distinctly
heard at camp; our Infantry fanked the
Rebels, yesterday, captured over q hun
dred prisoners and took few pieces of
artillery. l conversed with the prisoners
to day; some Of them are from Georgia,
aud others from South Carolina. They
we're indifferently clad, mostly in the gray
uniform, dusty and ragged. They ap-
psared pretty we'll informed. They told
me they had not been paid for twelve
months: they say their money is 60 worth
less that they could eat twelve months
wages in one day. They also say .ha.
they could live better on what the Yankee
soldiers throw away than What they draw
from the Confederate Commissary. They
say they are tired Of the war, and think
the Confederacy about used up. con-
versed with several deserters from the
Rebel cause. They deserted while on
picket yesterday. They say there is a
large number that would like to desert.
They have seen several of their men shot
who had deserted and joined the Union
army and been retaken. While writing,
there is heavy firing up the river. There
may be some very important move on
hand. Artillery and troops are on the
move for day or two back.
Very little sickness here or at City Point
at present. Weather is warm and dry,
had no rain lately rain is most needed to
lay the dust. U.R 5!h PaCav
