Maor-Gen. Couch, u. s. Military com
mandant for Pennsylvania, and now organizing
her Militia to repel the Rebel raiders now de-
vastating Maryland, recently addressed note
to The Patriot and Union, the Democratic State
organ at Harrisburg. soliciting its cooperation
in calling out the Militia of that State. The
Editor responded that he was quite willing to
help call out the Militia-provided their services
we're to be restrictedto the defense of Pennsyl-
v0nia, but for no 3ther purpose. Of course,
Gen. Couch was constrained to get on as ho
could, without the aid of The Patriot and Union.
Mayor Gunther, in the same spirit, deeming
patriotism synonymous with enlightened self
ishness," protests against the sending away OF
our City Militia to the aid of our sorely be-
leaguered brethren in Maryland and the District
of Columbia. They arc all needed here. he
thinks, to protect this emporium against riot
and devastation from the oyil-dspOsed portion
of her inhabitants. We thank the Mayor for
this virtual confession that the spirit Of riot and
treason is still active here; for we know he does
not believe nor suspect that Republicans will
initiate or uphold the riots he deprecates. Gen.
John A. Green. one Of Seymour's Briga-
diers, and Editor of The Syracuse Courier,
wherein he last Summer charged the Rebel
Gen. Pemberton with having surrendered
Vicksburg when he might have held out longer,
and who never has indicated any sympathy
with the struggle which the Union is now
making for its life, responds TO Gov. SEYMOUR
call for 10, 900 MilitiA to act as a State Guard,
in General Order, which says:
