NEW Fora, July 3,.1865 DEAR JOURNAL : "My nett," as intimated it would be,.is from sornewbeie else. • r Soon after writing before, I took the -roving fever. It ran like liquid fire titre,' my veins, and created what might. well be termed a "burning impatience" perfectly 'irresistible and only known to him who has been lon ,, ° ,eongued to some sedentary employment from which iniud and body -cry out for relief. In- this predicament' I collected my worldy effects, consisting of two old gold pens, a fishing tackle complete and a sheet of paper, and moved at once on Frederick via Relay House and "Elieott Mills."— The latter place is most delightfully slut ated en the ,Patapsco and affords man l y fine views. It was the native . place Of Benjamin Banneker, the great negro -As tronomer and Matheuiatician, the -cow .panion of Jefferson and Washington, My compagnon- du voyage was toy friend Charley, to Whom you may considel . yourself introduced. We fell in company .with an elderly gentleman and a widow lady, very respectable, very 'irieudly, both from Vermont and 1 taking to each Other very kindly indeed here in the land of ,strangers. s Their company afforded in, some instruction and considerable amuse moat. From Frederick we were to go tb Hagerstown, and Charley and the under ; signed concluded to take horses, while the elderly gentleman and the widow lady took a carriage and brought up the gage. Starting out just betifre sunrise we took the road over South Mountain for Boonsboro: The horses, furnished by mine host, were full of spirit, and we pranced: along gaily enough. Not two years ago I missed over this same road. Not two yej,rs, and it seems an age. I remember though, very distinctly, that tpild, haiy Sabbath in September when "Our" Corps were ordered, through a, atom of lead up through the -pa4s."i And just here an incide"nt may nut be out; Otidace. : Ge - n. W. S. Hancock was then a Brii,J tide Commander, and a good. one Of a. mild and unassuming turn he never claim- . ed aught of honor for himself but gave it all to the "brigade." t It was only in the 'heat of battle that he assumed his war like "majesty of u mien.' And -showed the grey spirit'that was in him. Baldy Smith was then his immediate, or Division Com mander. The artillery Lighting had been going on for_ a long time. It sounded' , •there in the hills as though. Jove were thrashing the truant Earth With over groin" thunderbolts.' The pounding over, on the rebel side was clearly the harder of the two. Ve were next to the frOnt, all already, and thinking of home at time. Baldy rode up to Hancock And said, "General, can you carry that pas ?"} "The Brigade can," was the cool reply,' and the Brigade did. It- afforded me a sort of melancholy pleasure to go over the ground and recall the scene as I then saw it. Every bullet scarred tree looked like an old. friend.. I bad but to shiit my eyes to recall the ghastly faces of the dead as they lay on thu field after we were through with the bloody work On stepping into the old : brick ehurch,.at the foot of the bill, which; we bad used in the care of the wounded I could easily imagine it re-peopled by that suffering throng, so vivid was the im pression- at: the time. ‘ Paying a hasty visit to the 'graves of our own reginioutj wbii tell there, we passed ori. - over the mountain into. one of the loveliest of val. leya. It, was a fine picture, and all. en-i in an oval frame of mountains. We wadi - a short turn here and went down to Sbarpsburg, and Visited the "Antietant" battle-field.• Here the widow found the grave of her only son—the object of her visit. There,was a depth of tenderness and affection displayed by her attentions to this sacred spot that awakened emo tions at once of pity and zf admiration. The calm, settled grief,and.firm, trustful Patience with which shy bore it, spoke of a love that does not linger on this side of the grave, and of couri l ge that palls not at the approach of deat . We rode over to Hagerstown, past our former Camp. .Many incidents came up, and wore related. -It Was in the after noon and the fierce sun blazed down on the red brick walls with relentless fury, we wore glad to be off , for Ha:risburg. The gentlemanly prOprietor of Heri's have us a hearty welcome and made it so very pleasant for us that we were: sorry to leave. The- ride to !this place was in the night and uneventful. We arrived just too late for the morning train up the Erie Road. This latendss probably saved us. The train smashed up and killed several, and injured nearly every person on board. Gold last night closed at 2.23, a fall of 40 per cent from the .previous day, and 57 from .the highest mint. Tbe city is very quiet to-day compared with Wash-• ington under like circumStances. Rather aster Live preparations are being made for the celebration of the Retirth—of which perhaps some account, in future. When I left Washington we had the news of Secretary ChasOs resignation and Governor Tod's nomination for the place. The Senate Committee hail conferred with the President, and it understood they Were not at all disposed to confirm the nom!nation which will stHliciently explain the non-acceptance, of tile place by that gentleman. A general gloom pervaded the city. Whateveruniy have been their personal preferences, every body seemed to regard Secretary Chire as the ablest financier we could muster.. Wm. Pitt Fessenden, of .Maine,, wits generally con sidered the only' .man litho would in any Way replace him. The purpose of the Senate evidently was to procure Mr. Fes senden's appointment, which,- on arriving here, I am glad to learn has be,43 made. It is believed there will be more change inAhe Cabinet soon. -I think lam in no 6nger of mis-stating facts when I say that should Mr: Bates or Mr. Blair, or both, resign, nobody would !'refuse to be Comforted.'' There 'is a heavy pressure against Mr. Seward and'even Mr. Stalin ton is violently assailed, i but a change in their Departments is not generally looked for.

From present indications, there does not seem to•be any doubt whatever, but what is left of the old democratic party and the Fremont Republicans, will form a union of their political strength for .the purpose of defeating Abraham Lincoln for the next President. The great pathfinder and his cunning and suc cessful opponent of 1856, are now on the most brotherly terms, and keeping up a regular correspondence. James Buchan an writes to John C. Fremont, and John C. Fremont writes to James Buchanan, the latter having determined, before he steps into his grave, to gathers a little more infainy to keep him down. Let them go ahead; there is about as much chance for this piebald association as there is for a toad under a harrow. THE SaMATION. When, two months ago, Gen. ,Grant started on his campaign against Rich mond, a small cooperating force under Gen. Sigel was sent up the valley of4he Shenandoah toward Staunton, situated near head of that valley, very near the geographical center of Virginia as she was in IS6O. Gen. Sigel was soon confronted by a superior Rebel force, defeated and thrown back. Gen. `Hunter now, super seded him in command; while most of the Rebels who had defeated Sigel were dispatched to the aid of Lee, then sharply pressed by Grant. Gen. Hunter's column once wore advanced, routed the Rebels who opposed them, killing their leader, Gen. Sam Jones, and capturing Staunton and Lexington. Had Gen. H. pushed vigorously, rapidly forward, he might probably have taken Lynchburg, situated on the James River and Canal and the Tennessee Railroad, and a principal Rebel depot of provisions and munitions. But Gea Hunter advanced so slowly that a Rebel division under Ewell, detached from Lee's artny,reached Lynchburg just before our force did, repulsing Hunter's attack, and reu.derim , the capture of Lynchburg hopeless. Hunter now .retreated .west ward into the valley of the Kanawha, in stead,of northward into that of the She nandoah, and left the triumphant Rebels free to move into and down the latter val ley unopposed. They did so, apparently, unobserved on our_ part, and were'never even heard of until they were close upon Gen. Sigel at Martinsburg on the Poto mac, compelling him to retreat hastily, ournin, a part of his stores. ' Hunter's army being far away, any present troub'.e from that quarter was out of thelquestion. The Rebels—say '15,000 to 20,000-- pushed across -into Maryland, _and after threatening Pennsylvania from Hagers town, turned short to the right, and cap tured Frederick, driving thence : a hastily collected Union. force under Gen. Wal lace, who on Saturday fought them nearly all day'at the crossing of the Monocacy, but was ultimately defeated with heavy loss and driven back on the road toward Baltimore—but not into'thiaCcity, as some of the panic-makers tried, to - make out . . If the Rebels wake any serious attempt on either BaltiMore ,or Washington,' we' shall be greatly' mistaken. We fear they will all be south of the Potomac within three days—too soon to let the Union forces now gathering.,te, fight them, get sight of their flying' clat-tails. This is ' 'no serious demonstration, but a Dinpder log raid, and, we regret to -- say, likely, be cause of the shameful lack of. Militia or ganization in all the loyal States, to prove highly successful. Within the last week, enough able-bodied' men ran away from Western Maryland. and Southern Penn sylvania to have captured and caged ev ery Rebel who has crossed the Potomac. Maryland, with not.leas thatiOne Hun dred Men, able :to do' Military duty, has not Ten Thousand Whites in thelUnioa armies, and bad not One Thousand Mili tia in the battle of Saturday, which. ay have decided the - fate of her metropolis. We trust that metropolis will' erect! an; other Monument to Maryland 4a' lor alter t this War is over; but; the deediii.nf hero: ism that are 'to glorify it aro .iet in the future.

A sergeant had,-- - been engaged in ,the 2d division hosikital the dayprevions in placing tipon• a number of headboards the names or members of his regiment who had been killed in the late fight or had died in battle; which.wes to mark their last 'resiing place.l-Tbore. was one , board in excess, and, in a sp_ort iwe vein, he placed with a lead pencil his own name upon it, and the date of his demise, 20th of June, as his term of ser vice bad"then expired and hs4 was about to leave for hbme. • Yesterday morning, while tiearthe front bidding his compan ions in--other regiments a farewell; he was struck,in the breast by a twenty-pounder Parrott and instantly killed. . His remains were interred today, and the very head board-he bad-unthinkingly inscribed with his own name was placed over his grave., and, with date correctly marks, for, the tithe his last , resting place. . WHEN WHEAT SHOULD BE CUT.- There is a difference of opinionamong farmers as to the proper 'time for cutting .wheat. Those who have investigated the matter are convinced that the grain should be taken on or before the heads are fully ripe, and tbe•following reasons are given: Wheat is iomposed of glutten, starch and:bran. Glutten lithe nourishing qual-, ity of the grain, makes the - flour stick to gether in the hands of the baker, and gives weight to' the grain—and there is the greatest quantity of glutten in the grainjust when the straw is yellow two or three joints from the ground, the head turns downward, and you can sqneeze a grain between your fingers without get ting any milk from it. Every day the wheat stands after this stage of its ripe nesq, the glutten decreases in quantity, and the bran increases in thickness. ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.—Both Houses of Congress adjourned . tsine die at 12i, o'clock of Monday, July 4th, having succeeded late on Saturday night in per fecting the Conscription Act. Under this act, drafts may be made for one, two or three . years ; bounties of 81.00,, $2OO and $3OO, are to be awarded for ode, two and three years' service respectively. Com mutation is no more; but every one draft ed may serve in person or by substitute, and fifty days' notice must , be given be fore enforcing the - draft. "Each State is at liberty to obtain substitutes in the States in insurrection and have them cred ited on het- quota. We do not see how the act could have been rendered more lenient, if the paramount object of recruit ing our armies is to be kept in view. . AN AMBROTYPE FROM THE. WILDER NESSBATTLE FIELD.--An ambrotype was picked up,from the side of a dead Penn. sylvania soldier, on the .battle field in' the Wilderness, and has been brought to this city. It contains the likeness of a lady, at whose side is ,seated a little girl, wear ing a black sack; on the lap of the woman is seated a child, clothed in white. The dress of the woman is of barred goods, and sha had on a large breastpin and -a collar. The picture will be left at this office for one week for examination by persons .who may think %hey are its ewe ers: It would be highly prized by , the family of the deceased soldier, as it was probably that of his wife and children.— Harrisburg Telegraph. As IT SHOULD BE.—Congress has de cided that none cf the States which have been formally declared in insurrection shall vote for President till re admitted into the Union. The States excluded from participating in the approaching Presidential contest are as follows: Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas. ' There are .now issued in Switzerland 345 newspapers--political, scientific, re ligious, etc., 250 being in the German language, 103 in French, 8 in Italian, and in Roman. Although the area of the country is only about half that of the State of South Carolina, the'population is nearly 'as great in 'number's as that of Pennsylvania. A sunflower evaporates ono and a quar ter pints of water a day, and a cabbage about the saute quantity. A wheat plant exhales, in a hundred and, seventy-two days, about - one hundred thousand grains of water. An acre of growing wheat, on this calculation, draws and presses out about ten tons of water per day, The Spaniards are thinking of cutting a maratime canal around the rock of Gib ratter, so as to supersede the use of the Straits, and the French are taking up the project. There are no great engineering difficulties to be encountered, and the cost is cstimased at 820,000,000. Mineral salt is now brought in ballast from Russia.
