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.

Resisting the Law*-- Effects of Copperhead
Teachings.
Or. Sunday evening, the 2tid ult., Capt. 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.

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

touching communications, the following was received
through Miss Turligood:
"Dear Prowleys; Surrounded by a bank ofsilver

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.

V c 'i? r - I ,V er * wx,H went in to face the enemy in
the \\ lluemess. The 6th Maryland, and 11 oth
Ohio were engaged the same evening, and lost
pretty heavi.y. V hen firing ceased about S o'-
ciOck, tliey withdrew, and our Regiment then lay
m front. e lay on our arms all night, and on the
morning of the 6th, we were ordered to charge
through the woods on them. On we went to with
in 75 or 100 yards of their line, when such firing
commenced as I never before heard, ia which en
gagement, I lost the third finger of mv left Laud,
and had to retreat in a hail-storm of bullets.
I will give you a list of killed and wounded, so
far as I know, in this engugemnnt: (*o. J) Corp.

[ and some of them are only slightly. I will give vou

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
