Necro Avpaciry.—Some of the negroes
residing in an about this place are becoming
very ilépendent and insulting in their be-
(havior. Our street corners are never free
rom the offensive presence of a set of idle,
* whiskey-drinking, tobacco-chewing, swear~
ing, brawling negroes. In their nightly
_perambulations they occuupy the pavements
to the exclusion of everybody, without re-
‘gard to sex or position. Our suburbs are
almost nightly, the scenes of brutal combats
and bacchanalian revelings, to the great an-
noyance of our citizens residing in such sec-
tions. A few days ago one negro pursued
‘another into a farm house near town, the
‘pursued seeking fefuge in the cellar by pass-
ing down a stairway leading from the inte-
‘rior of the house. The farmer’s wife, the
only person in the house at the time, was
‘very much frightened, and sprang to the
cellar door and endeavored to intercept the
passage of the pursuer, who hada large
stone in each hand. He pushed the woman
“away with such violence that she was pros-
“trated on ‘the floor, and then threatdnéd to
se violence if she attempted to dispute his
asspge again. She immediately calléd to
‘her husband, who was in field near, but be-
‘fore he arrived the negroes had disappeared.
If our borough was relieved of the presence
‘of a Jot of these scavengers our citizens
would feel more secure in the possession of
their property, the peace of the community
‘would be more permanent and the county
saved considerable inthe shape of costs on
criminal proscutions.
OCAL INTELLIGENCE.
A WaoLesaLt Rospury.—On last Satur-
day evening a robbery was committed in
Milesburg, which, for audacity and com-
pleteness, has no parallel in the calander of
larcenies in this county. The following
facts were farnished us by a friend who re-
‘c:ived his information directly from the per-
sone interested. Mrs. Samuel Lipton, hav-
ing her cellar plentiously supplied with the
substantials of life, some rcgue or rogues
conceived a plan to share with her family the
benefits arising therefrom. Accordingly, on
the evening mentioned this lady’s commissa-
ry department was forcibly entered and the
following articles taken :—12 bushels pota-
toes, 5 bushe's apples, 15 cans preserved
fruit, 5 loaves bread, 5 pies, a large basket
of cakes, 10 pounds butter, and a consider
ble quantity of creata and milk in crocks.—
The persons who committed this wholesale
outrage will hve snmptuously for a while,
no doubt, if not detected, but it is to be hop-
ed that they may be speedily ferretted ou'y
be compelled to ‘disgorge their plunder and
have quarters assigned them where *‘cream
and pie” will molest no more and where
* preserved fruit and apples, ete.,”’ are only
known in imagination.
Rev. OprLo VonperGrees.—This gentle
man, pastor of the Catholic Church in this
place, left this place on Monday last for
Covington Kentucky, where, in the enjoy-
ment of the more salubrious climate of that
State, he expeets to recuperate a constitu-
tion seriously impaired by close gitention to
his pastorial duties during his stay in his
place. His energy in and devotion to the
interests of his church has greatly endeared
him to his congregation, and his courteous
and winning manners as a citizen made him
the most popular minister that has occupied
this pastorate for many yea s. He dovotes,
in leaving, the greatet portion of his library.
his furniture, horse and buggy, and a con-
siderable amount of money to the payment
of debis contracted in the improvement of
the church property, during the term of his
ministration. The noble and conspicuous
position assumed by this gentleman relative
to the war at the timc of its inaugration,
secured (0 him many warm snd admiring
friends. The hearty good wishes of our
citizens follow Mr. Vondergreen to his new
hone.
ArreMPrED BURGLARY. —Two negro boys,
named Ellis, were arrested on last Monday
evening in the cellar belonging to the store
of May & Loeb, and conveyed to jail for safe
keeping. The entrance tothe cellar had
been effected by boring away the fastenings
of one one of the windows. On examina-
tion it was discovered that the door leading
into the store room had undergone a similar
process of boring, but the experiment prov-
ing unsuccessful the young villians had re-
- turned the cellar, and after having secured a
considerable quantity of sugar were about
to decamp with their booty when they were
discovered and arrested. The chicken-coops
will probably have a short respite now from
gocturnal visitors.
2
Axorner.—We have also received infor-
mation that Mr. Joseph Green, merchant in
Milesburg, has cuflered considerably from
the depredations of some person or persons.
At different times during the past few weeks
be bas lost articles from his establishment,
such as «4 half barrzl of fish, some twenty or
thirty pounds of superior tolaceo, dry goods,
&c. A few days ago about seventy pounds
of sugar was taken, aud these oft repeated
end heavy drafts upon his establishment in-
duced’ Mr. Green to institute a search. On
examination the sugar was found in the
house of Perry Steel, who was immediately
arrested, and on his failure to give bail was
brought to this place and confined in jeil.—
Tt would seem, from present indications, that
the criminal list will demand considerable
attention at the naxt term of court.

Our Knitting Association.
y vibe We are glad that the
Knitting Association in our town is in active op-
eration. We hope that societies will be formed-in
every place where they do not already exist, and
that a good report may be madeof Centre county.
There seems to be a misunderstanding in regard
to ‘who receives the money for the socks. The
money is paid to the Treasurer of the Society, to
be applied to the Soldiers’ Relief Fund. The
general impression appears te be that the money
was to be paid to the County Treasurer. This is
a mistake, however. \
Some person who pretends to know ail about
knitting has written a communication for the
Philadelphia Press, which may be interesting to
our lady readers. The following is the communi-
cation : ow
“How to Knit SorLpiers’ StéckiNes.
Mr. Editor : As our patriotic ladies are at pres-
ent busily engaged in knitting socks for our vol-
teers, and, as very many more ‘would ‘gladly do
the same, but are prevented from want of proper
knowledge, will you oblige an experienced knit-
ter by giving insertion to the accompanying di-
rectioug, and thus ading in the good work ?
Set up twenty-eightor thirty stitches on a needle;
| rib two inches ; knit plain seven inches before
setting the heel ; form the heel by knitting twen-
ty three inches each side of the seam, taking off
the first stitch without knitting; length of heel,
before narrowing. three inches ; narrow the heel
by knitting ten inches plain ; knit two together;
knit plain to within three of the szam ; knit two
together ; one plain, and turn the seam ; knit
one plain, slip and bind one stitch ; knit plain to
within twelve of the end of the needle, slip and
bind ; knit ten plain; knit back plain ; knit thus
until the narrowings meet ; knit back on wrong
side to seam ; then double together on the wrong
side ; knit two together and bind off to one stitch;
take up the loops to the left hahd, and knit five
stitches off the instep needle ch to that one;
knit off the instep needle, and take five off the
other end, to add to the other side of the heel,
and then take up the loops’; knit one round all
plain ; knit three stitches and widen, by taking
up a loop between all across, vo within seven of
the end of the needle; then narrow on the first
side, by knitting two together, and kait off five
plain ; kuit instep neeaie plain ; knit five, and
narrow on the lust needle by slipping and bind-
ing une rtitch ; then widen as before, but only
this one round. Now narrow ev ry other round
as before, until you have twenty-four stitches on
a needle; knit plain for four inches ; narrow the
toe on thu needie to the efi of instep needle, by
Xknitring one plain slip and bind ; then knit plain
to within three stitches of the end of the needle ;
knit two together and one plain : knit thus on
each needle ; knit three rounas plain, then nar.
row as before, knitting three plain rounds between
each narrow n kmt two rounds between,
to twelve ou each needle ; narrow every
other ronad te the close,”
Perhaps tho It will be able to understand
the above ; to us it is very clear, indeed.

ing visit last week, arriving on Friday even-
ing and leaving on Monday morning. He

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Tue WoxpERs oF ThE Microscork.—We under-
stand it is through the agency of this marvel
viewing instrument that Dr. Ayer has at length
succeeded in finding the PALUDAL MIASM and de-
termining its character. Of its effects we in this
section havo abundant evidence in the FEVER Ax
Agus which it alone produces when absorbed
through the Jungs into the blood. It has long
been Leld to be a vapor or something in the vapor
of water from decayed and decaying vegetatien.
Under a great magnifying power, the Doctor has
found this vapor to contain distinct organisms or
living bodies, corresponding precisely with those
found in the blood of Ague subjects. They are
13,000 times loss than visible to the naked eye,
but have distinct character and form. He thinks
they are reprodictive in deca in decaying matter
or in the blood, and hence their long continued
life or thu remote efiects of them in the system.—
Ile maintains that they resemble in eharacter the
other fermentative poisons, or such as the virus of
rables of a dead bdr, &c., all of which are known
to reproduce themselves with great rapidity like
yeast in’ moistened flour, so teat the slightest
duantity impregnates, the whole mass. Yeast
through a powerful maguifler is seen to be a for-
est of vegetation which grows, blossoms, and goes
to seed in a short time. Missm is not so distinet-
17 vegetable, but has more the appearance of ani-
mat life, although its motions cannot be perfectly
distinguished. What the Doctor claims to have
settlen is thet it is an organic substance and he
has further foutid and embodied in his “ Ague
Cure? what will destroy it.—Leader, St. Louis,
Mo.
25> We have been shown a document signed
by thy Mayors in office of the cities of the United
States and Conada, certifylng to the superior ex-
cellence of Dr. Ayer’s Compound Extract of Sar-
saparilla and to the value of all his remedies as
articles of gredt public utility. Such evidence
from such high sources bears us out triumphantly
in the position we have long maintained with re-
gard to Dr. Ayers preparatious, cr more particu
larly our advertisement of them. No publishers
neea be more opposed than we are to the promul-
gation of quackery ih any shape, but we knew
when we began, that his remedies were above any
suepici n of deception—that they were about the
best it is possible to produce for the cure of dis-
ease, and that they have the confidence of all
communities where they are known. Not alone
because the Mavors of the whole country believe
them useful to their people, but because we know
from experiende that they are so to ours, do we
believe we are rendering a substantial service to
our readers in making their virtaes known to

THE LATEST NEWS!!
fe + Ocroner 14.
On Saturday afternoon the foremost pick-
ets of Gen. Smith, near Lewinsville, were
driven in, und a large body of Rebel ar-
tillery, infantry, and cavalry appeared a
mile and a half from that place. It was
thought that the enemy was about to give
battle in force. The whole of Gen. Smith’s
Division was at once put ander arms. Gen.
McClellau was informed by telegraph of the
posture of affairs. The entire army of the
Potomac was placed ih readiness for im-
mediate service, the Staff officers of the
General commanding were summoned from
Washington, and all was activity and ex-
citement. After a short time, however, it
‘became manifest that the Rebels would not
fight, and matters resumed their quiet
aspect, The celerity and ordor shown by
the troops in preparing for action were
cheering, however. and gave good promises
for the time, if it ever comés, when the ene-
my shall ventore to make the attack with
which they now occasionally threaten the
National lines.
Washington was yesterday excited with
the rumor that the Rebels had crossed the
Potomac, and cut in pieces the army of Gen.
Banks. One of our special corrospondents
who was dispatched from the Capital for
news, however, satisfactorily ascertained
that the report had no foundation.
On Friday morning, before fight, Lieut.
Harrell of the United States steamer Unior,
at Acquia Creek, having heard that a Rebel
schooner was lying in Quantice Creek, and
knowing that a large number of troops were
collected at that point with the probable de-
sign of crossing the Potomac, set out with
his boat and two launchers for the purpose
of burning her. As the little force neared
the vessel the sentinel in charge of her fled,
giving the alarm. The light furniture was
collected in the cabin, and the vessel wus
fired. The flames enabled the enemy to
see the retiring boats, and a sharp fire was
directed toward them; the boats were re-
peatedly hit, and euen the clothes of the
men were perforated, but no one was
burt. The schooner was completely de-
stroyed.
The Norfolk Day Book of a recent date
contains dispatches from New Orleans, to
the effect that on the 8th inst. a thousand
Rebels crossed over from the main land to
Santa Rosa Island, on which Fort Pickens
is situated, and made desperate attack on
Wilson’s Zouaves, who were encamped
there. The Rebels comprised detachments
from several Mississippi, Louisiana, Ala-|f
bama, and Georgia regiments, under the
command of a Gen. Anderson. What the
resalt of this fight was, is not clear; the
dispatches referred to state that Wilson’s
pickets weré driven in, and that his camp
was stormed for an hour, he losing most of
his tents, having a large quantity of rations,
equippments, ammunition, &ec., captured,
and baving all his guns spiked; the ac-
count makes the loss among his men heavy,
but gives no particulars; it admits, how-
éver, on the Rebel side, a loss of forty killed
and twice as many wounded. It is almost
certain that this narrative is incorrect; for
at the latest accounts Wilson had no artil-
lery at all, and it is thought that noné had
been supplied to him ; the nature of his de-
fenses, moreover, was such that a force like
that of the Rebels would bardly have Jbeen
able to overcome them—aertainly not in the
short time stated. The dispatches which
furnish this news admis that Wilson’s men
displayed great bravery.
From Kentucky we learn, apparently on
good authority, that Breckinridge, Preston,
Johnson, and other prominent Rebels are
organizing 4 large camp at Prestonburg, in
that State. It is said that théy have \a
force of 6,000 or 7,000, that they are drilling
with much activity, and that they are
alarming the inhabitants in the region
about. :
OcroBER 15.
No new movement of importance has oc-
curred at Washington. Some trifling
demonstrations have been made by the
Rebels, but nothing calling for especial
niention. Rumors continue to fly about
concerning advances of General Banks
across the Potomac, and bard fighting be-
tween his division aud the enemy ; but they
could none of them be traced to an authentic
source.
We learn from Washington that Secreta-
ry Cameron on Sunday returned to St. Louis
after his visit to General Fremont. It was
reported that he had given to the General
an order to surfender his command to the
officer next in authority. This rumor was,
however, without foundation. No action
will be taken till after careful deliberation by
the Cabinet. General Fremont has'40,000
men at Tipton. Want of the means of
transportation, and of provisions, however,
prevents him from moving them. Before
leaving St. Louis the Secretary of War di-
rected him to suspend the field works he
had commenced akout that city, and also to
cease constructing some barracks near his
residence for his body guard. By the same
letter Mr. Cameron directed ‘him to employ
the funds in his hands for the payment of
current expenses, leaving accounts already
contracted for examination at the War De-.
partment. Some other instructsons were
sent to the General.
‘We have intelligence from Virginia which
conveys a striking illustration of the truth
that villainy will not commend a man even
to ruffians. Ex-Secretary Floyd, by whose
stealings the Southern rebellion was set up
in trade, is abused in the roughest manner
by the Richmond Enquirer, because he de-
mands the names of certain corrospondents
who have written severely concerning him.
The Enquirer. actually. ‘taunts Floyd with
his crimes, and affects to speak of him with’
contempt on account of the very acts which
furnished the South with arms. Floyd dp-
peals “to history” and to his “living coun-
trymen who love justice,” proposing to leave
the vindication of his character to them ;
though it seems certain that he will be
obliged to wait long for so triumphant a
vindication as he appears to hope for, there |
is yet no excuse for the ‘unkind cut ad-
ministered through the columns of the Se-
cession press. Ex-Gov. Wise, too, is in dis-
grace in hig own State, and is physically so
unwell that at the latest: counts his life

The Richmond Enquirer of a recent date
has a long list of zonfiscations which have
been made in Virginia since Sept. 20, under
the Sequestration Act of the Rebel Con-
gresf. The value of the property thus sto-
len belonging to Northern men or to loyal
residents of Virginia is nearly a million dol-
lars. Mr. Belmont, of New York City,
loses 500 hhds. of tobacco, valued at nearly
$300,000 ; three gentlemen lose each an es-
tate of 800 acres.
On Wednesday, the 9th inst., Gen. Price
was a short distance south of Johnstown,
Bates county, Mo., going southward. It is
said by persons supposed te be entirely
trustworthy, that dissatisfaction and fre-
quent desertions are demoralizing his army,
and that if the soldiers could be satisfied
that they would not be harshly dealt with,
the greater part of the State Guard would
lay dowu their arms. They are represent-
ed as tired of the war, and are only pre-
vented from deserting in large bodies by the
stories told them by their officers of the out-
rages to which they would be subject if
they should fall into the hands of the Na-
tional troops. :
BRILLIANT EXPLOIT AT HATTERAS
INLET.
OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE AFFAIR.
U. S. Steamer MONTICELLO,
Orr Care HarrERAS, N. C., Oct. 5, "61.
Sir : —I have the honor to inform you that
in obedience to your order of this morning,
I stood through the inner channel of the
Hatteras Shoals at 12.30 P. M., and stood
close along shore to the northward, keeping
a bright lookout from aloft.
At 1.30 P. M. we discovered several sail~
ng vessels over the woodland Kine Keet.—
At the same time a regiment marching to
the northward, carrying a rebel flag within
their midst, with many stragglers in the
rear; also two tugs inside, flying the same
ag. ; .
As they came out of the woods at Kine
Keet, we ran close m shore, and opened a
deliberate fire upon them at the distance of
three-quarters of a mile.
At our first shell, which fell in their midst
they rollod up their flag and scattered, mov-
ing rapidly up the beach to the northward.
We followed them, firing rapidly from three
guns, driving them up to a clump of woods
in which they took refuge, and abreast of
which their steamer lay.
We now shelled the woods, and could see
them embarking in small boats for their ves-
sels, evidently in great confusion, and suf-
fering greatly from our fire. Their steamers
now opened fire unon us ; firing, however,
but three shots, which fell short. Two of
their boats filled with men were struck by
our shots and destroyed. Three more steam-
ers came down the sound, and took a posi-
tion opposite the woods. We were also
shelling two sloops. We continued firing
deliberately upon them from 1.30 till 3,30
P. M., when two men were discoved on the
sea-beach waking siguals to us. Supposing
them to be two of the Indian regiment, we
sant an armed boat and crew to bring them
= covering them at tle sams time with ovr
re.
Upon the boat nearing the shore they took
to the water. One of them (private Warren
O. Heyer, of Company H. 20th Indiana Reg-
iment) was successful in reaching the boat ;
the other man {private Charles White, Com-
pany H, 20th Indiana Regiment) was unfor-
tunately drowned in the surf.
Private Have informs me that he witnessed
our fire which was very destructive. He
states that two of our ‘shell fell into two
sloops leaded with men, blowing the vessels
to pieces and sinking them ; also that sever-
al of the officers were killed. The horses
were seen running about the beach. He
had just escaped from his captors after shoot-
ing the captain of one of the rebel compa-~
nies. He states that the enemy were in the
greatest confusion, rushing wildly to the
water striving tv get off to their vessels.
Private Haver now directed me to a point
where the rebels were congregated, awaiting
an opportunity to get off. I again opened
fire with success, scattering them. We were
now close in three fathom of water, and our
told with effect.
Six steamers were now off the Point; one
of which I recognized as the Fanny.
At 5.25 P. M. we ceased firing, leaving
the enemy scattered along the beach for up-
wards of four miles. I fired repeatedly at
the enemy's steamers with our rifled cannon,
a Parrot 32-pounder, and struck the Fanny,
I thiok, once. I found the range of the gun
much short of what I anticipated, many of
the shot turning end over end, and not ex
ceeding much the range of the smooth bore
32 pounder. I enclose herewith & memo-
randum of the amunition expended to-day.
I am, very respectfully
Your obedient servant,
