hominy, 60 seriously crippled the great rebel army of Richmond that it has been unable to do anything since except to make an unsuccess. Ful advance towards Washington and some cautious reconnoissances of Matvern Hil! aud \Harrison’s Landing. Hence these six weeks of Anvaluuble time for the reinforcement of the ‘armies of the Union. Ane Firemen Exempt?—The War Departmert ‘®as issued an order, through Adjutant General Thomas, directing, among other things, that all persons exempted by Siate laws from service » din the militia be excluded from the draft. On ‘the heels of this order the Adjutant General of the State of New York issues an order in which the following direction is contained:—“The at- ese of the enrolling officer is called to the ct that firemen who have not served their ime are liable to be drafted under the provi- ions of this order.” This is in direct conflict ‘with the State law, which the government at ‘Washington orders to be respected, but which “Governor Morgan, through the State Militia Adjutant General, orders to be treated as a nul ‘ity. The first section of the State Militia act, 1d. April 23, 1862, by a two-thirds vote, Pisces among those not subject to military duty ‘such firemen as are now exempted by law.” But all active firemen and those who have served @even years are now exempt by law from mili- ‘Ria service, unless when the State is invaded or ‘an insurrection has taken place therein. Ac- “Pordingly the new act directs as follows:— Suoriow 9, Such commandant shall not include in such: <dctrotment the names of any officers or membors of the unwed nallitin of this Beate, nor of the officers or mem- fire company, aud the foreman of every fre many ty any city, village or town in this State shall, fifteenth day of May in each year, file in the periges the town or city ae 4 list containing the names ee | greg their respective companies, town or ward in which each meee of such company resides. ; Such is the law of the State, and it is acqui- esced in by the President and the Wir Depart- ent, as may be seen by the following extract ‘om General Orders, No. 99, dated Augnst 9:— tee commissioner shall strike from the list the names ‘sons exempted by the laws of the respective from canal beeen on gufficient evidence 5.90 fee the aforesaid cl ce whem the rotated is by them or not. i ho the question is:—Has Governor Morgan @ power to set aside both the State law and order of the government? | If he has, the er we know it the better, in order that the Piss Departanct may not become demoralized ad broken up by @ sudden draft of its mem- , and that new companies may be organized time to meet the emergency. The members f the Fire Department have entered it witli 1 distinct understanding that they should not fave to serve in the militia in addition to their and laborious ‘ice as firemen, for which ey receive nei nor reward. But if pred are liable to the draft let the fact be ‘made known immediately by competent av- ‘thority, that provision for the safety of our ‘ities against conflagration may be made ac- @ordingly. _ ae Drart anp THE AssenTexs.—The order ‘of the War Department directs that a new list ‘be made of persons liable to the draft, the ob- being to defeat evasion, and to place on roll the names of all who are subject to Yailitary duty. In order to accomplish this end and to have “a fair shake,” it will be ne- for all patriotic proprietors of board- houses and hotels at watering places ‘and summer resorts to send to the autho- sities of New York the names of their quests from this city, that they may be put von the roll. The State act makes it their uty to furnish this information, under a severe @Penalty; and in the event of their neglecting it, swe hope the local authorities will attend to it, ‘and have breach of duty punished as the law @Wirects. All are bound to have their names on ithe roll and take their chance—either to go to if drafted or supply a substitute. Their gervice in the field or their pecuniary aid is de- amanded, and the federal and State authorities ought to see that none escape from his obliga- ‘ons in this hour of the nation’s trial. Saxsmiz Reso.vrion or THE Boarp or Po- Gics.—The Police Commissioners of this city ‘have adopted a very excellent plan for facili- ‘tating the enrolment of volunteers. In the first Place they have adopted measures to obtain ‘volunteers, and in the next to provide for their families after they are mustered into the ser- ‘vice. For this purpose they have started a re- Qief fund for the families of volunteers, to ‘which people are everywhere subscribing. It is the purpose of the Commissioners to begin ‘to-day to make every police officer 9 recruiting officer and every police station a recruiting tation. It is the epinion of the Board of Police bat many men would go into the army if they gould only secure provision for their families. “This arrangement will greatly facilitate re- «cruiting; for parties going to the station houses “will obtain all the information they can desire, «and finding that their families will be provided for, will have no objection to swell the ranks of our patriot army. We think the move a ewery wise and judiciéus one. Tam Qvaxers anv Suaxens.—Why are the religious sects known a8 Quakers and Shakers exempt from military duty and the draft? Why ehould they be exempted any more than the Catholic, the Methodist, the Presb; jan or the Mormon? Or, if exempted, why”should not ‘the able-bodied Quaker or Shaker, between ~eighteen and forty-five, be required to furnish -@ substitute, or the money with which to supply one? These questions we submit to the special consideration of our military authorities, State sand federal. Under this exemption of Quakers and Shakers, with the enforcement of the draft ‘we shall probably have shakers and quakers -who belong to n joining by scores the one or the other sect to escape the draft. Thus aan outside shaker may become a Quaker, and swice versa, to escape the chances of being call- ded to shoulder a musket, and thus not only the -@ountry, but the Shakers and the Quakers, may ‘be seriously defrauded by artful dodgers. A Fors Sonvay at Jones’ Woors.—The weather being pleasant, with a cool breeze and warm sun, several thou. mand persons paid a visit to Jones’ Wood yosterday af- @ernoen. Ail the various amusements of the place were- im full running order, even to the dancing bears. The hotel was filled with guests, as was also the water sido ‘promenade, &o.

SPEECH OF COLONEL CORCORAN. ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE RECEPTION CEREMONY, Hon. Alfred Ely to Make the Wel- coming Address, THE OLD SIXTY-MINTH TO BE PRESENT. Arrangements for the Reception in New York, &., ‘ a is Wasainaton, August 17, 1862. The steamer Henry Burden, under the command of Captain John 8. Stevengon of the Marine artillery, ar- rived here this morning at half-past twelve o'clock, bringing Colonel Corcoran, of the far-famed Sixty-ninth New York regimont; Colonel Wilcox, of the First Michi- gan; Lieutenant Colonel Bowman, of Pennsylvania, and Major Vodges, United States Army, accompanied by Ad, jutant General Thomas. The arvival of these distin- guished prigonera from rebeidom was unexpected. A fow minutes before they reachcd Willard’s Hotel it had been rumored that Colonel Corcoran was to arrive thi, morning, and a crowd of citizens enger to greet the hero of Bull run and long imprisoned soldier began to assem ble when the carriage containing Colonels Corcorau and Wilco came in sight. Some one recognized Colovel Corcoran by the time the carriage seached the door. It was surrounded by @ dense throng | and three deafening cheers ront the air, given witha hearty good wilt and an earnest fecling seldom exhibited. the returned officers were ushered into a private parlor, which bas ever since been thronged with visitors anxious to weleome back to the capital those who have for thirteen months languished im rebe? prisons. The reception of Colonel Corcoran exceeded in enthu siasm anything that has been witnessed here. Hundred: pressed forward to take his hand and utter their soulfelt greetings. The meeting between hira and seyoral of the ficers of his regiment, who were brothers in arms on the eld of Bull run, was deeply touching. When, with speechless emotion, they embraced and kiszed each other tears anbidden filled the eyes of many whe were unused to weeping. i Hon Alfred Fly, of New York, and Colonel S. H. Mix of the Third New York cavairy, who were present, wer busied for hours in presenting persons who importunod them for introductions to the returned hero. While Colonel Corcoran and a number of invited guests inciuding several of his old comrades of the Sixty-niuth, were at dinner at Willard’s, he was informed that a regi- ment was forming in front of the hotel tosalute him. Mr. Carlos Pearce, of Boston, who has recently interested himself very earnestly for the relief of sick and wound. ed volunteers, had informed the Colonel of the regiment ‘hat Colonels Corcoran and Wilcox and other exchanged Union prisoners had arrived. Colonel Corcoran, attended by a numbor of gentlemen, made his appearance upon the portico in front of his room. His appearance was greeted by deafening cheer: from the soldiers and the immense crowd of citizens as- sembied. When the regiment had been drawn up inline and had presented arms at the word of the Colonel, three cheers were given with a will for Colonel Corcoran, three more for Colonel Wilcox, three for Colonel Bowman, three for Major Vogdes and three for the Union. In respouse to a vociferous call, Colonel Corcoran sald— Sorpmmes amp Crrmans:—For this kindly greeting on my arrival I return you my most ‘thanks. Such cheers as those just given I have not heard for thirteen months, nor is is possible for such a cheer to come from any other people than those actuated by the principles which move the men I see before me, marching, as they are, to the maintenance and support of the outraged laws of this glorious Union. There is nothing of the yel, co, ke neighbors, will be the first to take advantage of every thing good im the country they are unworthy o and unwilling to sustain, in the hour of her need. I want thosé men made to fill up the ranks, and shall not regret if there is no other way o getting them to draft them. (Cries of “Good, good.””) Lam glad to find on my return here that the government has adopted vigoreus measures for the prosecution of the war, that Congross has clothed the Executive with am wer to do so. I trust the President implicitly. I would see him invested with unlimited power to crusb the rebellion. The rebels have given to their obief leado, dictatorial powers, and we must meet force with force, If the power of the loyal people is put forth now the re bellion will be broken and the Union sustained and re" stored. Gentlemen, I did not intend to make a speech (cries of ‘ Go on, go on,” and cheors)—and will reeerve any further remarks I may have to make to @ future oc caston. At the conclusion of Colonel Corcoran’s speech there wero loud cries for Colonel Wilcox, but he was absont from the hotel. The Colonel commanding the regiment, seated upon his horse in front of the regiment, replied as follows :— Conown: Cokconan—On behalf of my soldiers, and on behalf of the noble State of Massachusetts that they re- present, I thank you earnestly for the patriotic senti- ments you have uttered. I thank you, not only for the past glorious deeds you have performed, but for your promises for the future, especially for the pro mise that you will again strike a blow for our common country, if inno other position, with a musket ia your hand, It{s glorious im you,and I thank you. Colonel, this is not, as you are aware, a time for speeches, but for guns; and I esteem one of the noble boys that have so heartily responded to my call in behalf of their country more than @ million of men who have only speeches to make in her behalf, (Cries of “Good, good’’ and cheers.) Colonel, if Washington, with throe millions of free people at his back, could conquer sixteen millions of British foes twonty-two millions of the descendants of Washington and lita associates can surely not only conquer six millions of secessionists, buta hundred millions, But, Colon el, the time will not permit me to say more, (Ories of “ Go on, goon.) No, no; the first duty of « good soldier is obs. dience, and 1 am ordered to be at my post at seven o'clock, 1, therefore, thanking you for your past ser. vicds, must conclude by proposing three eheers for the in which we are engaged, &c. Colonel Corcoran respondea—God speed you Colone! and your noble regiment, Acnt@ (RE vezas Of the assembled multitude Uotone! Corcoram retired, and (he gallant regiment took up its line of march. Tt wee iutendod (0 have a public reception of tues off- Core this evening, but arrangements bave beon made for that ceremony at Wililard’s Hotel to-morrow ovening. Hoa. Alfred Hy, now in Washington on official busiasss , the old friend and fellow prisoner of Colonel Coreorsa and tho other officers, has beon elected to make the welcum- ing address, and replies aro expected from Colonels Oorco” ran and Wiloox, Gonators Harris, of New York; Chandler, of Michigan, and Sumuoer, of Masaachusetts, now hore, are expected to speak in wejcome to the distinguished prisoners. The old Sixty-ninth regiment, formerly under oommand *f Colonel Corceran, is ordered up to Washington, to be Present at tho reception, and the masses of the people will have an opportunity to express their fervent admira- tion of the gallant men who have go long suffered in the cause of the Union, It will bo an impressive demon” stration. ‘Tho steamer Henry Burden came here direct from diken’s Landing, on James river, General Thomas re- turned upon her, and will go back to James river, The only Other passeugers were three ladies and a citizen, who was ill at the landing. Arrangements have been made for a trausport tv go to Alken’s Landing for one hun- dred and fifty Union officers, who are temporarily parclod until they shall be exchanged by tho retara of an equal oumber of rebel officers from the Western Department to Vicksburg. It appears that the number of rebel officers in our possession exceeds that of the Union officers who have boon taken prisoners; but they have a larger num- bor of our enliated men prisoners than wo havoat this time of thoire. It willbe remembered that Colonel Wilcox was taken prisoner, badly wounded, at the battle of Bull run. He {a entirely recovered from his wounds, ands now in better health than when he first went into the flold. Tioutenant Colonel Bowman was captured at Williams- port, Md., in the early part of the war. He has been the longest of any of the prisoners in the hands of the rebels, Major Vodges was taken prisoner during tho night attack on Billy Wilsen’s camp, on the beach near Fort Pickens. These gentlemen all look well. Their good health is attributable to the privi- lego enjoyed at Salisbury, N. C., of exercise in a six acre lot attached to their prison. Their fare before going to Salisbury was hard, and their confinement close. Even at Salisbury the food for the prisoners is represent ed to be such that no mah could live upon it for sisty days. When the regiment was forming in front of Willard’s to-day, Colonel Corcoran remarked that thore could not be foundas mapy uniforms in a whole division of the rebois. It is the opinion of these officers that’ the most exact discipline and vigorous measures wil! be necessary to put down the rebellion, They say that under the tron despotism of Jeff. Davis, not only tho military affairs, but the labor of the rebel States has beon systematized, and that every snergy of the whole population is eithor willingly or forcibly compelled to promote the purposes of the icad- ors. No man can now walk a hundred yards in any city ocoupied by rebel troops without showing his authority to be abroad. The strictest discipline is maintained, and 1pon that, in opposition to the laxity allowed in moat of our armies in the field, the rebel chiefs build their hopes of ultimate success, IMPORTANT FRON WASHINGTON.

THE REBEL DEFEAT AT C¥DAR MOUNTAIN. ‘That the rebels under Jackson were badly beaten and their plang thwarted on Saturday, is now evidenced by the fact. that they had deposited subsistence in the rebel barns as far north as within six miles of Culpepper Court House. On Friday last Major Fifield, of the United States Military Railroad, discovered and seized ten hundred and fifty sacks of superior flour ‘ked “Corn, Subsist- ence Confederate States, Richmond,” and our scouts aro continually discovering stores secreted in the same way. Tt was the Sixth Maine battery, under Capt. MoGilvery’ instead of the Fourth Maine, that did such execution in the battle of Cedar Mountain. The battery lost fifteen men and tweuty horses, but brought off all its guns. THE WOUNDED INDIANIANS AT THE BATTLE OF CEDAR MOUNTAIN. Mr. Dennis, of Indiana, visited the hospitals at Alex- andriato-day and found that the Indianians who were wounded at the battle of Codar Mountain are all doing well. STRINGENT ORDERS OF GENERAL POPE. Just now General Pope is forced to issue a circular threatening most severe punishment to officers and men who made color of his order for taking property of rebels to commit excesses. They are forbidden to molest houges, persons or property, and forage is only to be taken by forces detailed for the purpose. Strong guards are to scour the country for five miles about encamp- ments to prevent pillage and to arrest marauders.

Corcoran has filled the hearts of ail interested ia he welfare of that brave and gallant officer with rojotc- ing, and there is no doubt but that the reception which is about being accorded to him in this city on his arrival, if he accept of the same, will be one of the most extended and cordial which has taken place since the commence- ment of the present war. The sufferings and endurance of Colonel Corcoran since his confinement among the rebels have been of such a nature that the hearts of al! patriotic individuals must beat with the highest com- mendation for his deeds as @ man and his stern votegrity as an American soldier.

NasuvILLE, August 17, 1862. Col. Miller made an armed reconnoissance near Gallatin last night. Hie force consisted of the Soventy-ninth , Pennsylvania, Eleventh Michigan and Bost’s battery, He "found the enemy had docamped. Morgan bas gone to Hartsville, where, it is reported, ho has effecved a junc” tion with Forrest. Two Union couriers were captured last night by Stone's mon, nine miles from Nashville,on the Murfreesboro’ road. They took the despatches, but liberated the cou, riers, telling them to assure the federal authorities th the Confederates would surely have Nashville to-day (Sunday). Aparty of the First Tennessee cavalry undertook to surround @ rebel house six miles from Nashville last night and capture the occupants, but were fired upon from the windows and by guerillas im the woods, and obliged to retreat. They come im reporting foree of seven thousand rebels near the city, The troopa were under arms all night, and can non were planted to destroy the city on the first approach of the enemy. Another party of the First Tennessee cavalry captured ‘a large party of secessionists near the olty last night, A construction train left yesterday morning to repair the tunnel at Gallatin. The hands were captured by guerillas near Gallatin. The engineer escaped with the locomotive. It is rumored that several Union houses wore burned at Gallatin.

DYING STRUGGLES OF THE ABOLITIONISTS. Mr. Sumer, on his arrival here, immediately put him- self in communication witn the magnates of Abolition- ism—-those who go openly for reducing the South to the territorial or colonial condition, and not for restoring the Union under the constitution as it is. A great effort is doubtless to be made to get the President to restore the corner stone of abolitienism—i. ¢., the policy of arming the slaves of the South. Senator Chandler is here and also the Governor of Michigan, but it is doubtful whether they, are co-operating with Sumner. The President's speech to the negro commiitee is a stumbling block to the fanatics. THE NEW ORLEANS DELEGATION. ‘The New Orleans delegation, compesed of Judge Rose- ttn, Drs.
