dition of the pauper classes we
i & Ra : Tiidl hg hl 2 %
_ ‘have descanted over and over again. To-day
our/theme is 0ncé more the needy whom we
have always with us ; but we wish to turn
the publi¢ gaze neither to paupers indoor
‘mor outdoor, neither to tramps, nor beggars,
“4% nor houseless creatures on doorsteps or on
dustheaps. © Those whom we wish the public
"to commiserate are the poor who are not|-
seen, the poor who do not complain, the
poor who do not cry for alms, whe do not
beseige the relieving officers’ counting-house
or the work-house gate. These are the quiet
. poor.. They are pot given either to gin-
drinking or to cutting each others’ heads
* “open with saucepans or bottles. They live
"in remote nooks and corners, of which they
strive to pay the rent, and which they keep
“as clean as they can. They work when they
‘ean get work; but when employment is
‘scarce, and times are hard, the quiet poor
tranquilly starve and die. We say that
they starve and die, quite meekly and un
murmuriogly, as things consequent to their
condition, tid naturally to be expected. —
But where are the clergy and the missiona
ries—the philanthropists and deaconesses ?
.our readers will ask. Somehow it happens
+ that ‘benevolence manages to pass by these
. quiet poor people. They are not noisy. they
_. are not demonstrative. Theirs are not “ca-
ses” that would look well in a report. —
. ‘They don’t beat their ¢hildren ; they are not
+ wives, who have been jumped upon; they
don’t ask for tracts; they are not too confi
+ dent that all. their miseries have not arisen
from the intettiperate habits of their grand-
. mothers. They are merely decent, orderly,
working people, keeping themselves in a
- ‘curiously secretive way, and lying down to
‘die—God help them—withont making any
fuss ; whereas that drunken Irish basket
- »+ woman, with her callow brats, will. fill a
. whole court with her yells whe bread is
-gearce. Sometimes it will occur however,
‘that the hunger is too sharp, and the misery
too appalling to be end ured, and Death will
not come when summoned. Then the quiet
poor become desperate. Then the famished
man thrasts his lean arm through the baker's
‘window, and, captured with a loaf in his
‘bleeding hand, he is brought before the jus-
. tice as a thief—he, poor honest creature, who
_. until maddened by famine, never robbed a
human being of a half-penny! Then the
gaunt girl who can get no more work, and
bas no fod, no friend, and no hope, flings
* hervelf into the river or a canal with a prayer
that the dark waters will close over her, and
that she may hereafter be pardoned for the
. ‘crime cf slaying herselt because she can get
no bread to eat save the bitter crust that is
. obtained by shame.
Let our charitable readers ponder over the
. most lamentable and heart rending case of
... Mary. Arn Hamer, whs was brought before
the magistrate at Worship street, charged
+ with: an attempt to commit Suicide. She
«had been unable to obtain employment at
her trade as a boot fitter for machine work.
_ The cause given for het inability to procure
~occupation is almost inexpressibly painful.
The wretched girl had no proper clothing,
“wherewith to seek it. One sees in imagina-
“tion the dreary catalogue of garments sent
to the pawnbrokers-—=the gown, the shawl,
extra petticoats, the very under linnen suc-
“cessively. parted. with for food ; tbe pile of
‘duplicates on the mantleplece; the dreadful
“day when there is nothing more to sell or
~pawn—nothing left. ¢ Oh, men, with sis-
“‘ters-dear! oh, men, with mothers and wives
.—nothing left; oh, women with rustling
asilks and glossy shawls, but a rag and a
fatter, just enough to cover one’s nakedness
not enough to go io the shopkeeper's ware-
_ house in,” bul sufficient in which amid dark-
ness to steal away to the water's edge, and
fling herself into the Regent's canal, as Ma-
Iy Ano Hammer did. “By Heaven's mercy
the girl was not drowned. She was rescued
“bya young seawstress whose window over-
: Tooked the water, having seen her body
floating, and called assistance. The pitious
tale she told proved, after she had been re-
- manded for inquiry, to be perfectly true.—
The officers of the police court: discovered
her father in a lodging near the city road,
very. clean, but destitute of every necessary
The man bore 4 good character among his
neighbors, but his hand had becotne paralyz-
ed from following his occupation as a *“com-
position doll maker,” one of his two sons

“other was too youngto work. He wasa

ed to the “quiet poors” The mother dead,

‘child, and a grown:up daughter with no

anly rags of which Thomas Hood sings in
She andsiug “Song of the Shirt.” Let it
“mot be thought that we regard Mary Ann
Hammer's attempt to cominit suicide as en-
tirely blameless. Let it not be imagined
that we dissent from the wise caution given
to the girl by tke sitting magistrate, Mr.
Leigh, on setting her at liberty ; or that we
deprecate the supervision which he proposed
fo exercise over the subscriptions which
kind hearted persons had forwarded to the
Worship street Police court for the relief of
the family. It is even possible that half the | 3
funds so sent would place the girl, her father
and brothers in comparative comfort; but
might it not be possible, with the consent of
the benevolent donors, to use the residue as
a nucleous for the relief of the “quiet poor.”
Would it not be worth the while of some
true philanthropist to leave the vagrants

Sr. Lous, Oct. 19.— The rebels who burn-
ed the Big River Bridge the other day, were
marauding bands from St, Genievive and St.
Francis county, numbering about 600. Jeff.
| Thompson has not been in that region for
some weeks.
Captain Lippencott, with fifty men, of the
1 Thirty eighth Illinois, met this force two
miles below Big River, and cut his way
through them. inflicting a loss of seven killed
and a considerable number wounded.
Seven of his men were taken prisoners,
and several wounded, but none killed.
In the engagement helow Ironton, on
the 17th inst., the rebel loss is known to be
thirty-six killed and wounded, and it is be-
lieved to be many more, as quite a number
were carried off the field. The Federal was
ten wounded, one mortally. :
The rebel force is about 2000, and is be-
lieved to be the advanced guard of a much
larger body some distance below.
The officers at Pilot Knob say that there
were Louisiana, Ternessee and Arkansas
regiments among them.
The citizens were fleeing from the vicim-
ty yesterday, and the troops were under
arms, expecting an attack.
Sr. Louts, Oct. 18.—The following de-
spatch has been received from an officer at
Pilot Knob, dated 10 o'clock last night :
Major Gavitt, of the First Indiana Caval-
ry, made an attack on the enemy this morn-
ing, when, discovering the strength and
position of the rebels, he fell back upon Col.
Alexander’s force of 600 infantry, of the
Twenty first Illinois Regiment, and one
piece of artillery.
The enemy followed, fighting all the way.
Major GGavitt then go: his gun in position,
and, concealing his infantry, caused a part
of his command to retreat farther, thug
drawing the enemy into an ambuscade and
forcing them to fall back with heavy loss.
Syracuse, Mo., Oct. 18.—The rebel Gen.
eral Hardee, who has recently been reported
in Kentucky, is said to be marching to the
aid of Gen. Price with 20,000 troops, and is
expected to reach him by next Sunday.
Nothing has been heard from our advance
guard beyond the Osage to day.

The Battle at Bolivar.
FURTHER DETAILS OF THE FIGHT,
Bavrmiore, Oet. 18.
A gentleman who spent the whole of yes-
terday at Harper's Ferry says that the ac-
counts published of the fight there on Wed-
nexday are in main correct.
The cannon captured is a4 dne new siege
gun, well mounted and in £300 order, with
the exception of & fracture of one axie during
the fight, lt was stationed yesterday near
the abatment .f the bridge:
When it was about being retaken by the
rete's, a ten peany nail was driven into the
vent, which has already been drawn ont,
The Rhode Island battery did not partici-
pate in the fight, as was at firs: stated. They
were stationed at Maryland heights, and
found it impossible to discriminate in the
distance between friend and foe. The fight
eontinued from 8 in the morniog till 2 o’clock
in the afternoon, and was a regular ekirmish
with varying results.
The rebels when hotly pressed retreated
into the woods, and at other times they drove
the federal troops back into Bolivar—the
Main fight being beyond that town, on the
road to Charieston.
At 2 o’clock Col, Geary arrived with three
picces of cannon, which soon silenced the
enemy’s guns putting their entire force to
flight.
The ¢haplain who was taken prisoner says
that before he was captured 87 were killed
and woundad, and had been carried from
the field. There was nothing positively
known as to Col. Ashly having been killed,
and it was not generally credited.
The Federal troops remained on the field
all Wednesday night and yesterday morning
having brought across the river the remain-
der of 10,000 bushels of wheat captared from
the rebel’s military depot, which they were
about to transport to Leesburg. .
An order was given for the whole force to
retire t the Maryland side.
Great disiress prevailed among the few
remaining residents of Bolivar —information
having reached them that it was the inten-
tion of the enemy to destroy Bolivar and
Harper's Ferry on Thursday night by fire,
and they were all packed up, preparatory to
a flight into Maryland.
No information has been received from
there this morning as to wether the threat
was carried out,
The river is still tod high to ford and troops
were conveyed across in scows. The priso-
ners captured admit that their force was two
thousand w nl t the entire Federal force was
only four hundred and sixty. The change
iat has taken place in Harper's Ferry and
the thriving villia e of Bolivar, is represen-
ted as most ead and shocking. Ruin was
averywhere visible, and the inhabitants were
bowed down with sorrow and dessolation.
“Col, McKaig, Siate Senator from Alleghe-
ny county, who was arrested some time since
and was carried to Ohie and allowed the
liberty of the State on parole, vigited here
yesterday in violation of his pledge and was
arrested last night at his hotel by order of
General Dix.
Pennsylvania's Quota Filled.
HarrisBura, Oct. 19.---In consequence of
the recent requisition made upon Pennsylva-
nia by the x Government, the im~
pression seems to have gone abroad that a
large number of regiments are still required,
and Gov. Curtin is beset with applications
to accept new regiments.
This is an error. Pennsylvania has al-
ready a sufficient number of regiments to
meet all the requisitions made upon her by
the National Governinent. and they die now
being filled and equipped as rdpidly as could
be desired. Gov. Curtin, therefore; has no
power to accept aly hew regiments at this
time.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Midnight.
General Stone crossed the Potomac this
morning, with one portion of his:command
ot Biwards’ Ferry,and another at Harrisons
sland. . |
. Skirmishing, began between the enemy, in
uncertain numbers, and a part of General
Stone’s command, as early as nine olclock
in the morning. ard continued without much
effect until about five o'clock in the after-
noon, when large reinforcements of the ene-
my appeared upon our right, which was
commanded by Col. Baker, (Senator from
Oregon.) . :
The Union forces engaged numbered about
one thonsand eight hundred, and were at-
tacked by a force supposed to be from flve
to ten thousand.
At this juncture, Col. Bakar fell at the
head of lus Brigade, gallantly cheering on
his men to the conflict.
Immediately before he fell, he despatched
Major Young to Gen. Stone, to apprise him
of the condition of affairs, and General Stone
immediately proceeded in person towards
the right to take command ; but m the con-
fusion created by the fall of Cal. Baker, the
right wing sustained a repulse, with consid-
erable loss. :
Gen. Stone reports that the left wing re-
tired in good order. He will hold possession
of Harrison's Island, and the approaches
thereto.
Strong . reinforcements will be sent for -
ward to Gen. Stone during the night.
The remains ef Gen. Baker weré removed
to Poolsville, apd will be brought to this
city on Wednesday. He held his commission
as Colonel from the Sate of Pennsylvania,
having lately received it ar the handstof Gov.
Curtin, as Commander of the California

day on the steamer Sioux City, and reports
that on the 16th, one, hundred and fifty of
his regiment, under Major White, surprised
the rebel garrison at Lexington and recap
tured the place and all the sick and wound-
ed, together with a quantitV of ging and
pistols, and other articles which the rebels
threw away in their flight. Two pieces of
cannon, which were in the fort, were also
captured.
The rebel garrison numbered three htin~
dred. The condition of Lexington is re-
ported as deplorable. Portions of the town
have been stripped of everything, and many
of the inhabitants are actually suffering for
the necessaries of life.
RoLra, Mo., Oct. 20.—The capture of
Lynn Creek is confirmed. The place was
surrounded on the 14th by Major Wright's
cavalry the same the same that routed the
rebels near Lebanon, and a company of reb-
els under Captain Robbihs and a number of
other prisoners, including the Sheriff of the
‘county, were taken. A rebel caplain and
lieutenant were killed in the affair near Leb-
anon, and Lieut, Col. Somers taken prisoner.
All the prisoners taken at both places, sev-
enty four in number, have arrived here.
