Tho central column waa next morning on foot ad vancing toward the town which was entered with General Me Girl lau at its Lead at about A Saturday GEN HIDES through tbicoumn TO TUB RONT The column hd halted a moment to rest before entering the city of rederick The1 wide turnpike was filled vjith soldiers and an other column was moving Qirotigh the fields upon the side of the road Presently a cloud of dust was seen rising ou'tbe turrpikv above which a large American flag was si rn waving The soldiers knew iu a moment its significaiee and at once the name of McClellan was in every mouth Quietly and'eagerly each seized his musket and the middle ot the wide turn pike was cleared to give passage through to their favorite General Presently he cornu en ces ride rapidly through tbe'open ranks with his head uncovered when such a shout and 3 1 11 is raised as I never heard before It' was no ordinary shout'but oneso spontaneous so ir resistible so ptegnaut with leeling that 1 am sure I never heard the like before Every fibre in every man1 seemed to admiration Every soldier seemed a devotee a hero wor shiper and General McClellan was their hero They were for the time all renchmi and never I believe did the Vine I Emjereur rise with such an animated enthusiasm a did the shouts ot the Army of the Potomac when their leader passed to the front about to eutef the town of rederick Never have I witness ed admiration and confidence so manifest so all prevailing It was an admiration whieh might almost seem bke adoration GEN ENTERS REDERICK I had previously sVen few indications of a genuine loyalty in Maryland The people bad seemed all too fond ot talking about ic latioli of lhe constitution and grounds of complaint' against the government and the injuries of the South 1 Was surprised indeed ou approach ing the town to ee scarcely a house without the Stars aud Stripes and on many uses scarcely a winduwjras without one People were thronging the streets and balconies and piazzas waving flags and handkerchiefs and making the most hearty indications of their joy at being relieved from the Southern troops No people ever hailed a deliverer with more sincere cordiality than did the people ot red erick hail Gen McClellan I had not expected it rederick Is firmly and decidedly loyal I rejoice to believe that Maryland is more loy al than she has seemed 1 am well nigh persuaded that the indications of dis loyalty which I have witnessed have been forced out by the shameful conduct of our army We have never paid half the regard to the jreople of Virginia which they have paid to the people of rederick yet scarcely a show of sympathy was drawn forth from them The people were free and they used their freedom to show thfir fidelity Let the eole of reder ick be alway regarded with peculiar gratitude The conduct of the people should be a cause of greater rejoicing than to have gained a victory in battle It was a severer blow to the enemy than ths most disastrous defeat They have left ac knowledged disgust and discouragement and our army enters the town in the undoubted character of liberators The day win Gi neral McClellan entered their city will be renn mber ed many a year by the people of rederick Allotments The difficulty in taking allotments in the new regiments raisedin our State has been very great After the men are mustered into the United States service some leave for home on furloughs to close up their businessjothersare engaged in drawing their pay bounties cloth ing and arms and the officers making three or four setts of triplicate rolls so that 110 time is offered to take allotments as there ought to be before they leave as the regiments have all been hurried off at the earliest possible mo ment and the officers and men cannot appreci ate the advantages of allotment as they can when far away from banks postal and express facilities The work has been harder and re sults less satisfactory than with regiments in the field The allotments of the Seventeenth were not taken for want of time after the mus ter The Eleventh at Hillsdale were taken by Dr Berry Allotment Commissioner of Quincy Mich Company A Capt Hulbur Hinckley Net taken Capt Van Valor Stevena Theo Hill Bnll ck Ingersoll I A D' dge 1 8 Stevens Brave To the Editor of The Detroit ree Press The practice of erecting monuments to the dead and preserving dear memorials of theirvirtues originated in the tend erest emotions of human soul and has been followed from the highest antiquity A great an illustrious citizen passes from the scene of ac tion a hero falls iu battle and we cherish his Lest words we preserve the little keepsakes he may have left us and we erect monuments' to his memory AU this is fit and proper in every point in view and especially is it so with ref erence to those citizen soldiers who make not war a profession but who go forth in the hour of national distress in defence of the constitu tion and the freedom of their country It was said of the battle of Waterloo that with all its glories it clothed the entire British people in mouruing So of the great American civil war it has displayed valor and heroism equal to auy the world ever saw but it has clothed the country in the habiliments of sor row for thq slain Neighbors friends brothers sons fathers have left the walks of peaceful life and gone to encounter the stern realities of war and pour out their blood in the storms of battle where not only the slain are counted' by thousands but the fate of armies and nations is determined Many have fallen many are yet to fall in this fearful strife Many slain have been returned to their friends and have received the last rites of sepulture surrounded by the pageantry of arms Many have fallen who were distinguish ed in the fail but who sleep their last sleep on the battle plains where they fell unrecognized and undistinguished fitful fever they sleep The names of all such will be ever cherished and ever dear They will be told over with pa triotic devotion in family circles and on great national occasions aud history will bear them along to the remotest posterity Monuments to their memory with suitable inscriptions with tower on high in public places cemeteries will speak their virtues while paintings and statuary the handmaids of history will breathe their heroism from canvass and marble But we have been induced to offer these re flections for the purpose of introducing to the reader a practice which has obtained in all civ ilized countries but this and to some extent in this of erecting monuments and memorials to the dead in churches The venerable West minster Abbey a vast cathedral of the middle ages contains a wilderness of monumental mar ble to the illustrious dead St Dennis near Pari is the same And scarcely a chnrch great or small can be found in Europe which is not adorned by busts statues and oth er monuments to the names of great men and heroes Those who have seen these things will agree with me aud those who have not may rest assured that they are attractive and cbaim iug objects The traveler is always arrested by them aud they awaken the pleasantest recol lection and emotions in all beholders The city of Detroit has probably suffered as severely in this war as any other city of its size Our neighbors and friends airbanks and Williams and Roberts and Brodhead and Mauch and Wendell are numbered with the patriotic dead Their names are now associated with the heroes of the Mexican war of the war of 1812 and the war of the revolution Most of these men were members of religious congregations in this city and why should' not the inte rior walls of our beautiful churches be made to speak to their memories A bust or a statue in marble would always be appropriate but a neat marble slab with an appropriate inscrip tion placed tastefully on the wall would be equally so The family of the deceased in each case would no doubt be glad to act upon the invitation or permission of the vestry or other proper authority of any of our churches It would not be an objection that the deceased was not a member of the given church or con gregation A monument such as is here sug gested would be appropriate in any church or any pubiic hall and in almost any place Who will first act upon the suggestion aud move in the matter? Let these memorials be erected where they may be seen and read often and by all Let us be thus often reminded of the price and the sacrifices our liberties have cost so that we may more ready to

of Major General McCLELLAN The following is from tbe Commercial spe cial dispatches The cannonading on Tuesday' 4wm very heavy continuing with some intermission long after night morning' it 'resumed at daybreak with violence and rapidity so' that the people in the vicinity who had watched the progress of the five days contest say it was entirely nnprece dented It was one continuous rattle of heavy guns and from the position I occupied McClel right appeared to rest on Sharpsburg and his left on Catoclin Creek The rebels destroyed the bridge over this creek yesterday but McClellan rebuilt it dur ing the night The position occupied by McClellan seemed to be an advantageous one His guns seemed to1' be stationed on a range of hills from the apex of which little clouds of smoke rolled up in the distance and marked distinctly the line of the conflict Cannonading commenced at daylight and was heard distinct ly up to one causing the impression that the great battle of tbe campaign was in progress Little could be heard from the battle field in the direction of Middletown The reports re ceived however are highly favorable our for ces at the time having the best position the battle being principally with artillery Soldiers who were in the field on Tuesday state that it consisted entirely of artillery that day It commenced early in the morning and continued till late at night McClellan having at tbe close of the day driven them half a mile and obtained an elevated position from which he operates to day The fight yesterday was sharply con tested by the enemy It was only at the close of the day that the slight advantage mentioned was gained Rumors are afloat in various circles among which it was said that Jackson and Hill were again crossing the Potomac in our Lee by the way of

Melito The General Abbafucci belongs to the Valery Company whose oflUcesareat Marseilles This company has a contract for carrying tbe mails between Genoa Naples and Sicily tor the Ital ian government It is to be remarked that al) these ships carry the rench flag The agent of the company publishes and distributes a monthly notice of the arrival and departure of the boats at the several ports According to the notice for the month of August tbe General Abbatucci was to arrive at Catania on the 24th whence is should have sailed on the same day for Messina from Messina it was to have car ried the mails to NaplesLeghorn aud Ge noA' As these monthly notices are posted iu each'" town the expected arrival of the General Abbatucci at Catania on the 24th was well known to Garibaldi was thus that on that morning Garibaldi and his volunteers took possession bf the steamer notwithstanding the protest of Captain Saetto ni and compelled him to land them at Melito Alter the volunteers had landed the Captain was permitted to sail for Messina where Le re ceived the mails for Naples Leghorn and GenoA When the steamer arrived at Naples the Cap tain sud crew were committed to prison and the ship was Beiz The Turin correspondent of the London Eeict writing under date of August 20 thus related the particulars of capture: Garibaldi it appears had occupied tbe posi tion of Aspromoute but as the regiments sent in pursuit approached he abandoned it by a skillful movement and the pursuers lost all trace of his whereabouts Col Ballavicini with a picked battalion of Bersaglieri whom he had led to victory more than once before divining at a glance that Garibaldi could not have gone on to a point which was already occupied by a strong force ot the royal troops turned sharp round aud marched rapidly back He was not mistaken Garibaldi had re occupied the posi tion at Aspromonte six hours before about two thousand volunteers: The rojal force consisted of eighteen hundred Bersa glieri Colonel Pallavicini sent one of his aides to Garibaldi to enjvin him in the name the King and of the law to lay down his arms with au intimation that he had orders to use force to make the law respected Garibaldi returned an absolute refusal Thereupon Col Pallavicini although his soldiers were fatigued by the forced march and had only had a half of forty minutes gave the word aud his bat talion divided into three cluse columns marched at tbe double upon the volunteers who field their ground resolutely When the regulars came up the volunteers fired the Bersaglieri fired a few shots then charged the position wPh the bayonet and a terrible melee ensued Garibaldi evidently sought for death His sou fought with extreme courage ad tenacity and was wounded in the leg Garibaldi received a sword aud a bayonet wound Three officers ot the Bersaglieri were wounded Meanwhile a battalliou ot the ourth of the line came up but only in time to prevent the volunteers from dispersing when they saw that Garibaldi and his' son Alenotti were already wound and prisoners It only re mained for them to lay down their arms Garibaldi asked to be put on board an Eng lish vessel snd conveyed to England or Amer ica finch I can assuie you was his request Colonel Pallavicini replied that he would applv for orders from the government These orders after a couucil of ministers were that the Gen eral should be conveyed to Spezzia No more than this is known here as certain It is vague ly reported that 200 volunteers are wounded aud ten Killed urther dispatches are ex pected Thouvenel on

seriousness which too plainly show how deeply he was grieved by the sad necessity im posed upon him After reading the dispatches lie went into the country returning late to pre side over a Cabinet Council The Journal de liotien gives the followingver siou of the allair The engagement of Aspromonte was pre ceded by an interview between Garibaldi aud Colonel Pallavicini The former presented himself with a flag of truce when the Colonel who is not au i regular soldier declared that be could not receive the ex dietator except as an enemy Garibaldi is said to have then return ed to his trops and the firing immediately Kossuth published a protest against the movement inaugurated by Garibaldi in which he said His war cry is Rome or It is with this that he defies the authority ot the

as any other law of Congress and the Commis sioners authorized by the President and recom mended by the officers yet the men often fear it is a bumbug or will cheat them out of their pay or will affect their demand upon the relief law The only real opposition comes from the gamblers that are attached to almost every reg iment who advise the men to keep their money can take care of not to send their money home get sick and want it in They are very careful of the health and morals of the men especially of the young and often strip them completely every pay day and while many an anxious

week there are none perhaps looked forward to with more interest than the exhibition of blood ed horses at the Association Park in this city The exhibition bids fair to Le a success The programme laid out is an attractive one and the habitues of the turf are looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to the contest between some of tbe best horses on the American turf to come off next week The Interest in this class of amusements is apparently on the increase and it is com mendable It not only affords entertainment for horse fanciers but induces a spirit of rivalry among breeders which has a marked ellect in improving the stock of horses in this country The exhibition at the Association Course commences on Tuesday September 23 and con tinues four days On Tuesday the first day of the exhibition there will be a trotting contest sweepstaks for stallions mares and geldings four years old bred in Michigan Subscription $50 forfeit $25 The race is to be mile heats best three in five to

celebrities which will be present upon that occasion are Magna Charta a Michigan horse well known throughout the country as one of the fastest trotters iu the country rince a famous horse from Buffalo who won laurels at the recent horse fair in Chicago Oakland a celebrated horse from Pittsburg Pennsylva nia who will be remembered as having made excellent time here last year aud Ericsson fast nag

They will arrive some time during the afternoon over the Detroit and Milwaukee Railway and take the evening boat for Cleveland It might be proper to suggest to the city authorities the necessity of providing an ade quate police force for the preservation of order the depot during the transit of the regiment The necessity of this was keenly felt when the Twenty first Regiment passed through the city a few days since A crowd of eager curiosity seekers gathered about tbe depot creating a great deal of confusion and interfering with the movements of the regiment This matter will doubtless only need to be suggested to the proper authorities to receive proper attention Colonel Chapin was recently made the re cipient of a fine charger from Strong of this city and a saddle bridle and equipments

the confidence reposed in him and will doubt less discharge the duties devolving upon him with credit The Respect for Col Brodhead Whatever we may think or say ot the rebels there can be no doubt that they have a high ap preciation of bravery This has been exempli fied in several instances and was particularly in the case of our late lamented Colonel Brod head A private letter from the surgeon of the regiment who remained to take care of the wounded Colonel relates several instances of the kindness which they showed toward him and the peculiar respect with which they alwaya spoke of him These circumstances are corro borated by a sergeant who was taken prisoner and was allowed to wait upon the Colonel while he lived and who has since been paroled and has returned Rebel officers came frequently to Inquire the nature of his wound They often put themselves to great inconvenience and spared no trouble or expense to furnish every th Ing for his comfort A rebel officer once rode three
