BTC HAW, Onr returned seldiers of the State Mi1 litia speak in high terms of tbe attention paid them, and of the aid rendered them, by Hon W. W. Ketobani while at Harrisburg. Tents, rations, and everything necessary for their comfort seemed to come as if by magiq, Ha made fast friends of them all This service to others, is characteristic of Air. Ketcbam.

Daring his senatorial termxbe has ignored his own interests, his own convenience, ease and comfort to serve his constituents. He is just the man tbe district needs for the next term. He has ranked among the first in the Senate for ability and close attention to He understands the wants of the district, its vast industrial interests, and the sources of unfriendly rivalry. He can serve ns far more effectually and successfully than any new man tare, and tbe' anxiety with which they await the particulars of the fight on last Wednesday, 17th I will give yon a brief account of the fight as far as re-gards the I32d Regiment- We' were marched from onr encampment near KeedysVille, Wednesday morning about 6 oclock, and marched nntil about 8 oclock, through fields of corn and over the hills fording one stream, where the 1 privilege taking off onr boots and stockings was given. This was onusonl to ni.

I suppose they thonght, as a hard days work was before ns, we wonld march better with dry feet. I certainly felt revived, but was for a time unite uncomfortable, as as well as hundreds of others, came ont of the stream through a thick growth of nettles. This was soon forgotten in the excitement After crossing the stream we marched to tbe summit of the next hill and formed in line of battle under some difficulty, as the whole regiment was excited by the shell which were bursting before ns. However we advanced through tbe woods, over the fence, when we Were thrown into some disordor, We recovered partially by tbe time we came to tbe next fence here we Were again broken and onr line became more broken as we pressed over tbe ploughed field, it being np bill and with. the furrows; several of my men gave ont with, exhaustion.

A corn field Was next passed; here we did well, bat when we arrived at the meadow at the foot pfjbe bill, and under fire of the enemy, onr men were very much fatigued, having come on the doable quick for tbe last half mile nnder snch unfavorable circumstances, onr line broken and the men instead of being two ranks deep were at least fonr. An effort, with tolerable success, was made to draw the men np in line of battle. Gen Kimball gave the word "forwardand forward we went, bnt as we bad to pass' through a garden, around a barn and over a fence, par companies were somewhat mixed. hearing an order from Col Oakford for the I32d to go in the Orchard to onr right, jumped over the fence, followed by perhaps fifty men. Then Gen.

Kimballs Aid gave the order to march to the left, which we did for a few hundred feet until we were in the ppen field; here we were reformed and ordered forward to the crest of theliill where we found the 108th N.f we walked over them, for they were lying down, with bnt few exceptions, firing from that position. Hero we fought four and a half boors, until we bad fired 60 rounds and some of the cartridges of the dead and wounded. Our bayonets were fixed for a charge npon the rifle-pits of the rebels and the corn field occupied by Just at tbis point the Irish Brigade came to our relief and we were ordered to the rear to form our regiment. I gave the order for Co I to the rear, and went, but was followed by only twenty I went again to the.frout and brought out twenty more. We left the field in tolerable order, a few of my men lingering to fire a round or two at the rebels Pnenr7-ight, who were making a charge npon a battery of onrs.

We passed the 14th Conn, coming into battle, and a ball pnssing our brave Washington, Sept 80, 18C2. The following report of the victory of AotieUra haabeen forwarded to the headquarters of the army by Gen. Me-Clellaos; NlUa Shauns homo, 1 Sept 29, 18631:33 t. M. Majob Gkm.

Haukck, General in-Chief the United Slates Army Gknkrav I have the honor to report the following as tome of the results of the battles of Sooth Mountain and Antietam. At South Mountain our loss was 448 dead, 1,806 wouadod, and 16 missing total 3,326. At Antietam onr loa was 2,010 killed, 9,416 wonnded, and 1,043 missing-total, 12,469. i i Total loss in the two battles, 14,194. The lesa of the Rebels ra tbe two battles, aa near can be ascertained from the number of their dead fonnd upon the field and from other data, will not fall short of the following estimate; Major Davis, Assistant Inspector General, who superintends the burial of tbe dead, reports abont 8,000 Rebels bnried upon tie field bi Antietam by onr troops.

Previous to this, however, tbe Rebels had buried many of their own dead upon the distkatf portion of the battle-field, which they odeepied after the battle probably stjesst 500. 1 The lo of the Rebels at South Mountain cannH ha ascertained with accuracy, bnt aa ouf troops continually drove them from the) commencement of the action, and as a much greater number of their dead were smn on tbe field than of onr own men, ills not unreasonable to suppose that thar loss was greater than ours. Estimating their killed at 600, the total Rebels killed in the two battles wonld be 4,000. Aoc Drding to tbe ratio of onr own killed a wounded, this wonld make their loss to vounded 18,142. As nearly as can be determined at this time, tbefjjQi nber of prisoners taken by onr troops in thp two battles will at the lowest estimate, jmonnt to 5,000.

The full return will no -doubt show a larger number, about 1,200 are I- This gives me a Rebel loss in killed, wonoded andj prisoners of 25,542. It will be observed thal, this does not in-clndo their stragglers, the number of whom is said by citizens here to be large. It may be safely therefore, that the Rebel army ost at least 30,000 of their best troops. -I -From the time onr roops first encountered the enemy in Maryland, nntil he wag driven back inti Virginia, we captured 13 gong, 1 caissons, 9 limbers, 2 field forges, 2 caissons bodies, 39 colors, and 1 signal Sag. have not lost a single gun or a color.

On the battle-field of Antietam 14,000 small arms were collected, beside the large number carried off by citizens and those distnbated on tho ground to recruits and otbor unarmed men arriving immediately after tbe battle. -At South. Mountain no collection of small arms was made, bnt, owing to the haste of tbe pnrsnit from that point, 400 were fakes on the opposite side of the Potomac. Gko. B.

McClbllan, Major-General going. Yesterday was tbe most solemn day I ever spent, surrounded by death and tbe dying. Onr present camp is where the engagement began early in tbe morning, and our men had driven tbe enemy to their stronghold when we came np. I visited the rifle-pit and corn field this P. in company with onr bravefAdjatant and Lient.

Miller. While there I met' two ladies and entered into conversation with them. They were Mrs. Harris, Secy pf the Ladies Relief Society of Phila. and Miss Gilson, also of Phila.

During conversation with them, I learned that Mrs. H. and I bave mutual friends, so we were soon well aeqaainted. I told her where my wounded were and sbe said she would visit them. I shall not attempt to describe the horrors of that field.

As near as we could estimate, our loss in killed was about one fifth of that of the rebels. 2 hare learned that I am reported killed, which bas given me a great deal of uneasiness. My wonnded are: Geo. H. Caton wonnded In thigh he will probably lose his right leg; Richard Smith wonnded in breast, quite severely; Jas, J.

May cock wounded in jaw; Roderick Jones has lost his right arm; John right arm broken. These are In the Hospital and the Doctor reports them to-night as doing well. H. A. Deans, in hand Richard Hall, nose grazed; B.

Bass, in hand, very slight; Laton Slocum, in hand very slight; John Fern, Jn hand, very slight; Henry Yusler, in ear, very slight; John in hand very slight; Wm. Hos teter, in arm, slightly; Jas. J. Randolph had the thumb of tbe right hand aeciden-ly shot off this A. by some unknown band.

These are all with ns again and most of them are now on duty. i Yonrs; 1 J. Archbald, jr Capt. Co I. I32d Regt.

P. Y. Late Southern Ifews. The Charleston Mercury of the 25th nit, says that there are grounds for believing that the enemy are sending heavy reinforcements to Hilton Head and along the shores of Broad river. Pinckney Islaud is now occupied bv a large body of troops.

The Richmond Examiner, of the 20th nit, says that Gen. Bragg, with ten thousand men, is at Glasgow Junction, and that Gen. Rosseau bas goue to meet him Surgeon General Moore reports the number of and wonnded received in ti) Richmond hospitals since their organization be 90,508. Of these, 19.774 have' been furionghed; 2,341 have been discharged, and 7,603 have died. At the Chimborazo hospital there were received 14,893, of which 2,033 died.

At the Winter hospital the number received was 22,874, of Wch 1,271 died The MadflBsw' Union and Strength. In the war in which we are pow en-none pretend to doubt the importance of entire unity in the loyal States, All can see that efforts for snp pressing rebellion must be modftjhroagh the government as it now stands, through the Administration now in To that Administration in these efforts, full loyalty and allegiance are due. It necessarily follows that persons withholding the manifestation of that loyalty, and those that, worse still, seejt to -weaken and embarrass that government, fail in their duty to their country It does not help their case, that with one breath they prouonnee theio selves Democrats, and with the next tell how loyal and honorable the Pempcratic party la and always has been. We grant, more than that, we affirm, that it is in the nature of true Democrats to be loyal, folly and earnestly so. What then -if yon manifest the opposite spirit, it does not prove that Democrats are disloyal, but very coheir sively that yea are not a Democrat It is very clear that all' men that cla'm to be Democrats are tot such.

Jeff, Davis claims and has ever claimed to he each. His aiders and abbettors nearly all claim to be Democrats, while seeking to destroy the Constitution and government of the country, John 0. Breckehridge late Democratic candidate for the Pesidency, and now a General in the rebel armies, claims to be as mneb of a Democrat now os ever; just ae good a Democrat as when he presided over the U. S. Senate, and finally after delivering himself of sentiments full of treason, went from its Halls and organized a Brigado to destroy the government sad murder its We make these allusions, only to show that professions of Democracy are sometimes made to cover the rankest treason.

Like Charity, beautiful and lovely in itself, its honorable name, is invoked to cover a multitude of sins. The North nuqoestionally should be united in suppressing tbe rebellion, and somebody is at fault if it is not. The only possiblo way te effect it Is for all to enter heartily into tbe cause of their country, for some have done so and will never flinch from the work or fail to do their doty, because others stand coldly by, and cavil. If tbe North is united at all, it most be in doing this work, for we have millions of men at the North that have resolved that the Government shall be sustained. unite with tbesa will secure uuity, it wilt secure success, It will ensure ah honorable peace.

I 1BA frllFP, ESQ. 'v A friend remarked to ns a few days since that Ira Tripp seemed to be abont as popular throughout the county, ns Father Walkers Universal Christian Benevolence." We thought the idea deserved to be in print. Some of onr read-, ers will remember how plentiful were the supporters, and how few the opponents, of the doctrine of Universal Christian Benevolence as promulgated by Father Walker. So loo we see on all sides of ns evidences of Mr. Tripps popularity.

He is everybodys friend, and has always been. He seems to be just adapted to the office of Sheriff, and if elected, as he seems likely to be, will undoubtedly perform tbe duties of the office to, universal they retarned. They then went across the White Oak Ran, joined by Mr Spangeuburgb. Near the railroad-depot a large force of womerfarineff heavily with stones, attacked them. They retreated to the telegraph effice and locked themselves in.

A party of women werg detailed to force those Who remained at home to tarn ont and join them. They threatened to pnll the house down on them if they refused. In the meantime several of the citizens went to help the beleagured party, Vrho can oat of the office on weeing reinforcements, and re treated back of the building.

At the blacksmith shop, a man who was there refused to give hi name, as he had been already enrolled by Mr. Spangenburgh. He was' arrested1 and taken ta the hotel, bot was afterwards released a hen bis wife came crying to thy hotel.

They again returned to their duties, and met no opposition until they crossed the bridge over the White pal? Run. Here the road was blocked np by a party of women who refused to let them" pass. A war of ensaed, re-salting in the return of tbe maratTaraud his party across the bridge, in good order, followed for a short distance by the crowd, who were shouting nnd cheering.

They went into a shoe shop close by, the windows of which were broken by a shower of stones, Mr. Roesler fled from there and took refuge ia Eaton Co.s office, while the' rest of the party m-ide good their escape by climbing over the fence and making their way to the hotel Their teamster received a -severe bloy on the nose from a stone. At this the crowd was increased to an alarming extent by the arrival of the cracker boys in nuiform, (all black) who reduced-, the nir to the condition of their own garments If cries could -rend thp air, it was iu tatters. The women' seemed to be imbued with, or rather to have imbibed, a fresh spirit, from tbh crazy manner in which they acted; yelling and threatening- to bresk-t-he windows, So that they could get Roesler out, take his panto off, and ben bent him through the village. Several of.

the miners, who at other times have some influence, tried to persuade the women to let Mr. Roesler depart in pence They were, however, limited from the premises amid showers of stones. Liberty of speech was not allowed, nnd the habeas corpus, in a literal sense, was loudly ewUed- for.

This is but a type and illustration of the some men endnre General Sigels Advance. On the 25h, Col McLean and a detachment of Sigels -corps left Ccntre-ville for a reconnoissance to the front.

Passing direct to Manassas Jonction via Ball Ran battle-field and Bristows station, on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, and fioding no rebel troops at either Col McLean decided to make a dash upon Warrenton Junction. He arrived near that point on Friday afternoon, and fonnd a force of the ene-mys-cavalry and infantry drawn np in battle array. The position of the rebel force was ascertained, when Col McLean ordered the Pierrepont (Ta battery to throw a few shells, which was promptly obeyed, with decided effect, for no sooner bad the second shell exploded the rebels, firing their pieces at random, made a hasty retreat, leaving everything behind. The Union troops immediately occupied the place, and, after securing a quantity of qnartermaster8 and commissary stores, returned to Bristows station, where they arrived on Sunday. As Col McLean neared Warrenton Junction, the rebels made an unsuccessful attempt to destroy the bridge acre's Cedar creek, but in this they were frustrated: On Monday, Gen.

Stahls brigade advanced to Warrenton and captured 1200 prisoners. He then proceeded to Salem as Richmond, smallest number of deaths Lave occurred in the hospitals superintended by the ladies. The Richmond Dispatch, of the 27th ult calls for legislation for tbe removal of negroes, making, at the same time, some important admissions. It says The Federal invasion, especially in its relations to negroes, has thns far been a John Brown raid on a grand scale. Wherever the Union armies have ad-vanced the negroes have been swept off as clean as the Eastern locusts sweep field of grain.

Not one green or black thing is left ih. the line of the Yankee march, nor in the whole country for many miles around. The Piedmont, the Upper alley, the Peninsula, the country watered by the Rappahannock nnd the Potomac, have been stripped of their negro population. This war has assumed the character of a grand Negro-Hunting Expedition. Of victories the Yankees have gained many.

What becomes of the game it is impossible to say, bot is that a matter of much importance. The loss, hoveter, of so valuable an element of The Invaqjon of Maryland, Gov.

The expulsion of the rebel army from tbe soil of Maryland should not be jaiftered to pass withoot a proper Iscknowledgment and the cordial thanks of her authorities to those who were chiefly instrumental in compelling that evacnation. I would tender, therefore, on behalf ot the State of Maryland, to Major-General McClellan and the gallant officers and men nnder his command, my earnest and hearty thanks for the distinguished courage, skill and gallantry, with which that achievement was accomplished.

The force reconnoitered the country for a distance of five ot six miles from tbe river, and discovered that the enemy still holds his position in the vicinity of Winchester.

The enemy also had' two pieces of artillery, and fired a few shell, bnt without effect. To Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, and to the militia of his who rallied with snch alacrity at the first symptoms of an Invasion, onr warmest thanks are also due. TlSir'Teadfness with which they crossed the border and took their stand beside the Maryland brigade, shows that that border Is in all respects bnt an ideal line, and that1 in such a cause as now unites ns, Pennsylvania and Maryland are but one.

I cannot forbear to notice, in this connection, the conduct of onr own regiments that took part in the recent battles.
