The doctor told him,pre vious to getting the discharge, that he would examine him, find out what was The matter, and procure his discharge from Governor Catlin, in a few days he received a paper purporting to come from the Governor. The doctor tbld him if that paper was not all right he would get him paper pt which would be.-- The other was duced and recog nized. The paper he received was filled up, which was his discharge. The doctor, Fitch, held no position in the army; !"Practiced medicine in Westmoreland co.; be gave the doctor $ll for his services in procuring his discharge; he was arrest ed last Saturday morning by the Provost Guard; he would not go back to his regi merit through fear of being shot. When he`received the papers from the doctor, he thOught there was no use to go back; could read and write; observed the paper , when he got it; paia no attention to the signature. The doctor reiterated that the paper was all right, coming from Curtin. Cross-Examined by Mr. Forward, had not asked the doctor to get his discharge; the doctor was his brother-in•law; got the discharge from the doctor at Latrobe; it was exteuted at Squire Austler's; he thought the paper was all right, till about a week of his arrest. he then doubted the genuineness of the discharge; the doctor told him, if he would go on to Harrisburg the Governor would clear him; when at Great Western, he gave his name as 'areal Moore, staid some months at Great Testers; thZ.doctc r told him :fhe would pay his expenses,he would go with him to Har risburg,but it was of no use; the reason be he assumed the name of Israel Moore was through some difficulty he had with a young lady. Here Mr. Carnahan objected to further inquiry into the plaintiff's se crets. Mr. Ockerman's testimony.—Was a car penter : had carried on the printing buei flees ; rec...gnised the paper as having been printed in his office; his son, unknown to him, had the paper printed; was copied from a soldier's discharge. Cross exemined by Mr. Forward.—Did not know whetter his son received any pay for the piint••ng ; printed some eight or nine. Israel Clark re-examined —Was not certain of giving the Doctor anything besides the eleven dollars ; the Doctor wanted a gun ; he did not get it.

Mrs. Catherine Scott's testimony. —Lives in Mechanicsburg, Westmoreland county knew the Doctor ; has a son in the army ; he came home without a furlough ; had a conversation with the Doctor in reference to the discharge of her son and Clark the Doctor told her he could get her son's discharge, also get a discharge for Clark, from the Governor. She gave doctor eleven dollars and a cow for her Bon's die charge ; be never furnished the discharge : it occurred some time ego. Cross examined—She owed the Doctor a small bill, but it was Dover charged. tie told her he would write to Stanton to get her son discharged for being under age. Mr. Sorbet's testimony—Am a special officer of the 21st District; arrested Cla•k last Saturday morning: before the arrest the father of the plaintiff told him his son had a discharge from Curtin: told the father the papers were not worth a pinch of snuff. air Oarnahan, here, on the tee• timony deduced, asked that Fitch should be indicted for perjury, forgery, and pro. curing and enticing desertions. Objected to by Counsel for defense, he having proof of the innocence of hie client. TESTIMONY FDIC Tif E I> F7:NSE. Mary Jane Burk's testified that the Doctor told her he would get Clark's dig, charge on disability; saw the paper when it was delivered to Clarke. Doctor said it was a certificate of disability, but would not do until he would go to Harrisburg to get it filled up; told Clark he would go to Harrisburg if he would pay his ex• penses; told him the officers would arrest him if it were not signed by the Secretary. Clark told her he would do anything be fore going to war. Cross-exarained.—Saw the paper the day it came. Referred to the first paper; the second she saw in the Doctor's hands ; lives with the family of the Doctor ; is a relative of the Doctor's ; is no blood re lation of Clark's ; has been with the Doc• tor fifteen years. Sarah Clerk's testimor.y.--Recognized the paper; heard the Doctor tell Clark that he would go anywhere with him if he would pay his expenses. Cross-examined.—Paper came in a let ter to Latrobe ; is a sister of the plaintiff and sister in-law to the defendent. After some legal sperri g between Mr. Forward and Mr. Carna)an, and npoo tha solemn assertion of Dr. Fitch that he had no evil intentions in the matter, be was held to bail on his,pwn recognizanc., for the amount of fi+e hundred dollars to appear at the next October term TUEATRE. — Thureday evening the tal ented Annie Hyatt, an actress of es tablished reputation made her first ap pearaoce this season.

NKCV YORK, September 3 .—An impor tant meeting between the officers of the city banks and Mr. Cisco, Assistant Treas urer of the United States, was held at the Exchange Bank to-day. The proposition submitted to the meeting we understand to be that the banks of the city should lend the Government thirty-five millions thia summer, Chase to draw for it during the next two or three months, as it is re quired. The banks of Boston and Phila delphia are to be asked for an additional fifty millions, the whole fifty millions to he repaid in October and November in the new interest bearing Treasury notes, which are to bear five per cent. interest, and to be legal tender. This plan seems to be regarded with favor by oar beat financial authorities.

That source or that portion of 'the democratic party who have not forgot ten the dying irjunction of Stephen A. Douglas, and who nobly rallied to their country's standard in this her time of trouble, meets our hearty, patriotic ad miration. That in view of the extraordi• nary difficulties and embarrassments which have environed the National and State affnirs during the present atrocious rebel lion the .fforts of the constituted nuthori- ties and of the National and State govern meat commend themselves to our highest respect for the zeal, ability and fidelity with which it has been marked.
