PouGßOvr, Bloody Run, Juno 1, '64-St. Pastor. Almost au Arrest. Frederick Hildebrand, triad and found guilty last November of horse stealing, is reported to have been home lately. One night last week, Daniel Metzgar, Esq., and others got an intimation that he •Hilde brand) might be found at the house of a Mr. Bush, near Bridgeport. Mr. Metagar and his friends re ported themselves at Mr.. Bush's, ready for duty, about two o'clock in the morning. They were re fused.admission at first, but after a Suitable dv-lay and parley, thoy were allowed to enter the house. Search was made through the house from cellar to garret in clusive- The garret was searched by one oflht party following a loaJed pistol in the dark. A pile of rags against the roof was "poked" into with the-pistol.— Hildebrand was not found. It is now reported that only the rags intervened between him and his pursuers. Inexplicable Phenomena. Oysr citizens have been greatly perplexed and roys tified iately at the appearance in our streets and in our houses, of want appears to be clouds of fine du3t or sand, blown by the winds and seeming to take its origin or rise from the surface of the streets. This substance, whatever it may be, adheres to all surfa-' ces, and seems in reality like a finely pulverized sand or earth. We have not heard that any analysis has been made of this substance. Most persons, who have expressed au opinion on tbe subject, regard the whole thing as a nuisance. But evidently, nobody has The slightest idea of its origin or cause. For if it is reailv pulverized sand and earth, taking its ori gin from the surface of the. ground, as a superficial observer would suppose, the remedy is too obvious and practical!hi. to bo neglected for a day- We call the City Fathers to appoint a committee of in verligation to sit upon the-subject, and promulgate the results at the earliest time convenient. Dusty. Probably it is not know to our readers generally, particularly of tire Boro', that at certain times Juliana and Pitt streets are dusty. And further, probably it is not known that the "dusty," here spoken of, be • conies at certain windy periods a cloud of line sand penetrating into every nook and corner of dwellings, .•udthe kitchens, pantries, closets, clothes presses, ladies wardrobes, sellers and garrets therein. Also iuto the stores, covetisg silks and calicoes, and mix ing with pulverized sugar at twenty-five cents a pound, into jl.c offices, into tbo shops, into the bar-rooms, iuto ibe sanctuaries, ar.d invading even the sanctum of a patriot editor, not to speak of the sanctum (!!) of an editor not a patriot. These things mat ifi sdy gte novel and unknown hereabouts. Otherwise they would bethink themselves of remedies elsewhere timple uud efficacious. Sleeting of Conferees. BEDTOUP, May.3l, 1861.

Carpenter and Lieut. Harper, of Co. If, 148 th Penaa. Regt. proceeded to dm residence <tjf Jacob Henry, in Deca tur township, Mifflin county, for the purpose of ar resting Henry's-three sons, John, Isaac and Lewis, who were deserters from the above named regiment. Upon entering the house, the father seized a gun, and swore he wen Id ahoot any United States officer who would attempt to nut his BOBS. Lieut. Har per sprang forward, took (midof tharjfua, and endeav ored to take 'it from H||tj, to prevent him from shooting. In the scuffle the gun was discharged, the contents entering tb* hodf of Henry, effio died •hortly afterwards. The deserters were since arrested, and were taken to Ilarrisburg. It is said that this was their .second desertion. The Lewistown Gazette, in alluding to the case, says : "The result of Copperhead teachings in that township has thus of late culminated in bloodshed, and an ignai-ant and misguided man, relying on those who had taught him that he had c right to shoot, has paid the penalty of his folly with his iife. On their heads rests his blood. Nog need the sons, tor their aiders and abettors, imagine they can much longer set the Government at defiaecc. The hour for iri jiing vith traitors and tories has gone by." The Pennsylvania State Agency. The Washington correspondent of the Pittsburgh Gazette , has the following:— I desire to call the attention of the readers of the Gazette.t.o the establishment of the Pennsylvania State Agency, the Headquarters of which are at So. 487 Eleventh street, Washington, D. C. At the late ses sion of the Legislature the powers of the Agency were g. eatly enlarged. It now includes the "collection of pay, pensions, and bounties due to Pennsylvania vol unteers, without charge or expense to such volun teers.' 1 It is also to "provide in every way for the comfort and effioiency of our volunteers take "care of the sick and wounded," and "send home the bod | ies of those who may die in the service." Ip regard to sending home the remains of deceased soldiers, the State authorizes the Agent "to give transportation for their bodies, and for one person to accompany each over the railroads only from Washington to the sta tion nearest the home of the deceased." He is not authorized to incur any expense in recovering, em- I balming, or bringing the bodies from the battle-field ' to this citv. The bodies of such as die in the hospitals in Wash ington and vicinity can be taken borne at once. But if buried without being embalmed, they cannot be disintered "'until cold weather" rets in. All persons interested in the collection of pay, pen sions, or bounties, or in the removal of the bodies of deceased soldiers, should call at the Agency when in Washington. When letters of inquiry are sent, the full name and post-office address of the writer shguld r be given; also, the full name, number of regiment, rank, and company of the soldier after whom inquiry is made, or whose pay, bounty, Ac., is to be collect ed. Many letters are received to which no reply can be given because thesb things arc omitted. All oth ers receive prompt attention. Col. Francis Jordan, of Bedford, has been commis sioned State Agent of Pennsylvania by Governor Cur tin. He is polite, attentive, and accommodating.— He never becomes wearied with the visits or inquiries of those who have to make them. He is as courte ous the hundreth as the first time you visit him. Dr. J. A. Pbiltips, of Pittsburgh, the Assistant Surgeon General of the State, has his office also in the Head quarters of the Agency. He is a young physician of sound medical skill, mueh practical experience, and untiring energy. Like Col. Jordan, he is unwearied in his attentions, and indefatigable in his labors. — He attends to all inquiries promptly, and answers, if possible, every letter by return mail. He is, besides, the devoted friend of the soldier, and is constantly visiting the hospitals, looking after the sick and wounded from Pennsylvania. Literary, The Atlantic for Jtuio opens with a pleasant bit of "Talk about Guides," by MariaS. Cummin.SJ au thor ofthe "Lamplighter," who gives some amusing reminiscences of the guides who conducted her, as a tourist, through some of the most notable edifices and natural wonders of the Old World. Part 11. of "Lite on the Sea Islands," an admirable account of the do mestic and school scenes among the freemen in South Carolina, is from the pen', we are told, of a colored lady. "A Fast-Day at Fo.xden "is an amusing-de sciption -of an experiment in table-rapping and spir itual manifestation.- during which, among other touching communications, the following was received through Miss Turligood: "Dear Prowleys; Surrounded by a bank ofsilver tunifked attendants, I hover near yon. The atmos phere is redolent of costly herbs, which, with the well known rotary motion of the earth, impart density and spacefulness to our spheral persons : this is the*phil osophy of our presence.

Tit* Opening of the Sporting Season. The sporting season has burst upon us with unusual brilliancy; with a degree of advancement seldom at tained thus early in the summer. Whether it is ow- • ing to the beauty and propitiousness of the season or the number of our - 'sports" wc are not prepared to say. However, be that as it may, a few days since a jew choice spirits, who are ever on the ,"l>ank" with •'rod and tackle" when the finny tribe are to be se -1 dueed from their watery element, or "on the wing" with "gun and bag" when the tenants of the "etherial blue" are to be "brought down," made a few most capital "HITS" that could only be realized in their es timation by each succeeding "sold!" by each suc ceeding "seller." A friend of ours, a capital fellow, as well as shot, espied a beautiful sjecimen of the genus jttcu# (wood pecker) and with a deliberate aim of his faithful rifle, a quick sudden clicking, a cloud of smoke, a deafen ing report, and. what a moment before was animated nature, was rlvited in death to the tree upon which he was accustomed to sport. Now for some live sport, thought our friend. Deliberately loading his piece, he coolly called to Major R and asked him to try his skill upon the "bird." The Major "dodged 1 ' about the corners, "sighted 'round," got a favorable position and "banged away!" "Ah, ha!" shouted he, "I have nailed him to the tree !" He was let into the secret. A certain editor, just return ed from legislative honors, was next invited to fry his hand upon the scansorial beauty. After a care ful survey of the position with a number of injunc tions to keep quiet lest it might be driven away, he "let drive!" In a moment he ejaculated "by the gods, I've pinned him !" He in turn was informed of the "sell, 1 ' and a County Superintendent was next led up to take his turn at securing this specimen for Audubon's next edition. The Professor bad consider able trouble to got within range, but after five minu tes of vexatious delay, he let the poor image, or more i likely the boundless air, have the contents of his gun. Here the "sell" "played out" and the story started the rounds much to the annoyance of the chief trage dians. The last heard of the story it had found its way to the local of the INQUIRER and was about to make the circuit of tho press. So mote it be. * ARMY CORRESPONDENCE. CAMP or THE 76T11 PENNA. VOLS., > May 17, 18G4. / DEAR MOTHER - • Since I last wrote to you, I have seen what you may indeed call hard times, and I will try and tell ! you as near as I can. all that has transpired, though I have seen a great many incidents and occurrences [ that I cannot briiig to mind just now. V.'e left Gloci'ster Point on the morning of the oth and passed up the James Rive* 'on the same day. and lay in the stream that night, and the next morning we landed a few miles above City Point, (the place ■ where all our prisoners are exchanged,) at a place I called Bermuda Hundred, and started on the march ' the 6ame day. At about 5 o'clock we encamped for ! the night in a grain field as it was impossible to camp j any where in the woods as they wero on fire for ; miles around. • Next morning beforo'dsy light we were again rea dy to move, xv he ft the order came for us to leave our knapsacks behind and we started, no one in the ranks'knew wliere, and as we were the last brigade • to the rear we did not expect to be the one to open j the fight. In our march we passed the 55th Po., ! passed the picket lines and commenced to skirmish ■ with the enemy, driving him slowly before us, when ' suddenly we emerged from the dense woods through which wc had been skirmishing, into an open field, when the enemy came in sight, drawn up in . line j ready to receive us. The Brigade deployed into po f sition and the fight commenced, and as our rt-giment j held the centre, ritey drove them from their position, ■ and the flag of the old 7Gth was the first to float over the railroad, 13 miles from Richmond. The loss in our regiment was 08, in our company 6 wounded and 1 missing. The Bedford boys wounded were Levi Agnew and John Leader. We returned to where wc had left our knapsacks that evening, nearly given out with marching and fighting, and next momir.g we put np our little tents expecting to get a day or two rest, but we were dis appointed, for early vho next morning wc were on the march again, this time not to fight, but to help build iatxcnchments. We worked all day, marched to camp, got our knapsacks, and returned to guard the works we had done that day, stayed along the trenches that day and night, returned to the place where we had camped before, put up our tents and ami stayed in them two nights, and started on the march again, leaving our knapsacks, guns and blan j kets behind. ; Scarcely had wo started until it began to rain and ; I tell you it did rain all it knew how. About 5 | o'clock we again came in sight of the enemy's skir | mishers, (the cavalry had been driying them all the morning,) aud they made believe as if they were going to make a stand. Our regiment was brought into line on the top of. a large hill, and our skirmish ers and theirs wero fighting on another about 6or 6 hundred yards off. -After firing away for an hour or so, they mode a charge on our men and drove them across one field where they made a stand and drove the rebels back again. Its this skirmish our regiment lost 9 men wounded, but none of them out of our company. We lay all night in the rain, aud the next morning started again, and struck the Petersburg j and Richmond pike about eight miles from liich j mond, and after marching a short distance we again | came in sight of the rebels in their works, 7 miles j from Richmond, and after a sharp contest with their j skirmishers for about 12 hours, we succeeded In ; driving them from their first line of works, and we I advanced about half a mile further on when wu came in sight of a large line of breastworks flanked on the side next to the Jftmcs by a large fort. We drove thorn into their earthworks and fort, aud then came the employment for sharp-shooters. Our men lay in one part of the woods apd their works were on the outer edge. Their sharp-shooters wore on the trees and wails of the fort, whilst ours were in a hollow, right below them, where they could look right on them and have a fair shot every time our boys moved themselves. They killed six out of our regiment and wounded 20 or 30 others. Wo had 3 killed out |of our company and 7 wounded. None of the Bed ford boys were killed, but Alexander Boltnger pud John Charleston were wounded. This continued un til the next day, but as our regiment was relieved i the evening, we did not lose any more that day. The next day wo went to the front again, but as we were not in auch a hot place as the day before our loss was small. We lay behind an old fence all night, and the next morning just at day light, the enemy opened upon us from all their guns, and after shelling us for some time, they charged on our whole line from right to left, and as the fog was so dense, they were right into our boys before they could see them at all. Their strongest force It seems was thrown against oqr left wing, and they fell back with a very heavy loss, apd of course the right, where wo wore, had trrsnstain a heavy fire from' both front and fiank, and tbo order ■was given to retreat, which was done in shch a man ner that the enemy could not follow up the advan tage gained. V.'e succeeded' in bringing off all of eui wounded, ail the prisoners, nearly all of the stores, Ac. Ido not know tec loss in our regiment exactly, nor the loss in the army, but if you can get soma of the papers you can find more about the fight than I can tell you. I had several very narrow escapes my self hut thanks to the Almighty I am alive ami fteH',' and hope that this may find yon and all the family Vha same. DAVID B. KIJJOTT. For thelnytirer.

[ and some of them are only slightly. I will give vou I a lew mors that I know of in the Regiment—Lt. | 1-isker, Co. I killed; Lt. Essiek, Co. I) very se riously wounded in head; IA. Grossman, wounded in una; 0. S. Thompsou, Co. K killed; 0. S. I Smith, Co. C wounded. The Adjutant told me on Sunday, that the loss in the Regiment was about thirty killed aud about two hundred wounded and missing, at a rough estimate he had made. The balance of the officers were all right on Sunday about noon. I saw the greater part of them then, but they were marching rapidly so that 1 but merely got a glance at the boys. They halted about a half mile off, when Lt. Horton and Adj. Cress came back to sec us, who gave us all and the last news I have had from the Regiment, except, I understood the Division was engaged the same evening, but eannot eay whether it was correct or not. The fighting was all done with the musket up to the time I left the army, but on Tuesday there was heavy cannona ding, So far as 1 eouid see and hear, the soldiers were all in line spirits, notwithstanding many of their comrades had fell by their sides. On Monday night, there were about 12000 wounded in Fredericksburg. From there we came to llelle Plain, and came to Washington on steam ers. I expect to be sent to Philadelphia this af ternoon or to-morrow, It has teen very disagree able and wet for two clays. Respectful!'-. JONATHAN SNIDER, TRIBUTE OF RESPECT To the Memory ol Hon.
