THE reduction of army officers by
resignation, under the recent act, is
going on so rapidly that it has been
found necessary to check it by strin
pnt regulation.
THE temperance-men in Massachu•
setts have nominated Wendell Phillips
for Governor. It is thought his nom
ination will compel the Republicans of
that State to adopt a Prohibition plat
form.
. Gen. James Potts, on account of ill
health, has witbdrawn.as the removal
candidate for tho Legislature in Cam
bria county, and an adjourned conven
tion was called to meot at Cresson on
tho 20th inst., to nominate another
candidate.
THE Congressional Conference will
meet sometime—immaterial when—as
Mr. Morrell is already nominated,
Cambria, Blair, Huntingdon and Mif
flin, all, instructing for him. He is the
nominee, and' the Republican candi
date.
A rinvi , association has been formed
called the "National Anti-secret Soci
ety." One of its objects is to, exclude
from the church all persons who have
any connection whatever with secret
societies of any kind. When secret
society men are excluded there will be
pews to let in moat of the towns and
cities.
TEE Democratic Senatorial Confer
ence will meet sometime this week.—
Brube Petrikin, of this county, J.

sional Conference will nominate some
body, perhaps R. M. Speer of this

over Hon: Samuel Calvin, a citizen of

—to permit-ono of its ablest party men
to be'stricken down by a stranger. Of

TAX GATHERERS.—Tio individual of
the official community has a more on
erous or unpleasant duty to perform
than the tax collector. His "duty" is
performed among all phases of human
character; he is - obliged to approach
the high and the low, the rich and the
poor, and demand from each the Gov
ernmental tithe; and even the fair sex
are subjected to his unwelcome visita
tion. But what need ho care; he has
his duty to perform and perform it: he
must. Ho knows ho has the Govern
ment to sustain, and fooling the im
portance of hie groat task, he dons the
helmet of boldness and the visor of
assumption and goes on his errand of
gathering up the hard and easy earn
ings, regardless of the whims and
whimpers of his too often dilatory vic
tims.
The tax collector is a necessity—not
exactly of war but Government; though
in peace he prepares for war by sup-
Plying the moans that build the ships
and-erect the forts. Ho should there
fore be honor'ed for the position ho
holds by all good subjeCts of the pow
ers that be, and.be sent away speedily
with his receipt given and
.his heart
lighter. But let no tax-collector im
agine himself a conqueror, and go forth
more like the lion than the lamb. Ho
will gain nothing by arrogantly assu
ming himself the master, and the tax
payer the dog. Civility and urbanity
are the weapons of his warfare with
which-he , can make the subject unbo
som himself and unloose the purse
string. Let him who is the gatherer
remember this, and let the payer per
form his "duty" without a murmur,
unless indeed, taxes aro undeniably
oppressive, and then have recourse to
Lenox CONGRESS.—A National La
bor Congress Met in • Cincinnati last
week, and adjourned 'on the I.Bth.
Several colored delegates were recog
nized in the Convention, ono of whom
was a Mr. Wears, of this State. The
following platform and resolutions
wore adopted by the Convention :
First. That laborers in all depart
ments of useful industry are suffering
from a system of monetary laws made
during the war.
Second. That the rate of interest is
disproportionate to and in excess of
the national wealth:
The third demands the repeal of the
national banking system.
Fourth. Greenbacks that aro not
full legal tender should be withdrawn,
and a currency based on the wealtn of
the nation issued as a legal tender for
all debts, public or private, converti
ble into three per cent bonds; bonds
also convertible into money, at the
pleasure of the bolder.
The fifth opposes payment in gold
of 5 20 bonds, the principal of which is
legally payable in lawful money.
Sixth. The burden of the govern
ment should bear equally on all etas-.
see. Exemption of bonds bearing ex
tortionate rates and high taxation lare
violations of the first principles of la
bor.
Seventh. The tariff should be mod
ified to admit the necessaries of life
and such articles of common use as wo
can neither produce nor grow, duties
for revenue to ho mainly laid on arti
cles of luxury; such articles as we
have the material in abundance will
developo the resources of the country,
increase the number of factories, give
employment to more laborers, cause
the immigration of skilled labor, cre
ate a permanent home market for agri
cultural products, destroy tho•neoessi
ty-for odious and expensive internal
taxation, and soon enable us to com
pete with the manufacturers of Europe.
Eighth.. The public lands belong to
people, and should not be sold to indi
viduals nor granted to corporations,
but saved as a . trust for the people,
and granted free of.cost to . settlers in
amounts only of 160 acres.
Ninth. The. treaty-making power
has not authority in the constitution
to dispose of.the public• land :without
the joint sanction of the Senate and
House of Representatives. • .

THE WAR IN EUROPE,
LONDON, August 17.—This morning
the advance of tho Prussians continues
almost without serious interruption.
At Metz the French army received
a coup de grace, and has since fallen
back upon Verdun in a demoralized
and shattered condition.
The retreat has been most disas
trous. Even individual soldiers were
rendered desperate by the agony of
the situation, and denounced in un
measured terms the incompetency of
their generals.
The Emperor, is believed to be the
actual commander of the army.
BERLIN, August 18.—The details of
the conflict of Point a Mousson have
just been received. Marshal Bazaino,
endeavoring to full back from Metz to
Verdun, was attacked at nine o'clock
on Tuesday morning by the Fifth Di
vision, and forced to face about. The
Prussians were admirably firm, though
they sustained the attack of "four
French corps, among them the Impe
rial Guard. After fighting gallantly
for six hours the Prussian Fifth Divi
sion was reinforced from the Tenth
Corps. These reinforcements arrived
opportunely. The French found that
a prolongation of the contest would
be impossible, and they retired upon
Metz with a loss of two thousand pris
oners, two eagles and sovon cannons.
The French utterly disregarded the
convention Of Geneva, by mutilating
the dead, firing on surgeon's ambul
ances,&c.
A Plausible Summary of theßeoent
Movements
The New York Tribune of this morn
ing says :
Tho remnant of MaeMahon's Corps,
which escaped from the Vosges Moun
tains after the battle of naguenau, re
treated to Luneville, Nancy, Commer
cy, and thence, it is inferred, fell
back towards Chalons, closely pursued
by the Crown Prince Frederick Wil
with the army of the South.—
On the 14th inst. the advance guard
of this Prussian army had reached
Blesme, 28 . miles by railway from
Chalons. On the same day, the right
wing of the prussians, known as the
army of the Saar, under General von
Steinmetz, appeared before the eastern
walls of Metz, and carried, after four
hours' fighting, the outer works of
Belleet•oix. The French army under
Bazaine evacuated Metz on the same
night. • On the 13th, it encountered
the centre of the Prussians, which had
crossed the Moselle between Metz and
Nancy, and had endeavored to seize
the:road between Metz and Verdun by
which Bazaine wished to retreat. it
was for the possession of this road
that the several engagements of Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday were
fought. The battle of Monday was
under tho western walls of Metz; that
of Tuesday was at Gravelotte, four
miles west of Metz ; that-on the 17th
instant was at Mars-la-T(4r, six miles
from Metz. From present indications
the French here gave up the struggle,
and abandoning the road to Verdun,
fled toward Etain.
The Times publishes a special tele
gram from Berlin this morning, which
contains the following intelligence:—
The French army has boon separa•
ted by the victory of the Prussians at
Mars-la-Tour. The main body has
been forced back on Metz and brought
to a stand by the first and second Ger
man armies, under Prince Frederick
Charles and General Steinmetz. The
road is now open to Chalons for the
Crown Prince, who has only General
Trochu and some fragments of Marsh
al MacMahon's crops to encounter on
the way. The decisive event im
pends.
A Tremendous Battle on Thursday

The - yolloW fever has prevailed"- to

is thought there will be no spread.
HON. A. K. MCOLVIIE has published
a letter in favor of calling a State Con
vention to revise the Stake Constitu
tion. The following are thO' principal
reforms suggested by Mr. McClure:
First. The increase of the number of
legislators to • say one hundred
Senators and five hundred Assembly
men. The cost of such bodies meeting
annually under proper constitutional
regulations would not exceed the cost
of our present Logisla,tures. In all
States where there are 'large legisla
tive bodies, corruption has never gain
ed the ascendancy. Most of the Now
England States forciblyi llustrate this
fact.
Second. Legislative powers should
be restricted to. general laws. All pri
vate remedies should be in the courts,
and all appropriations by private bills
prohibited.
Fourth. All bills and all amendments
thereto should be printed and on file
before a final vote could be bad on
thorn.
Fifth. All increased appropriations
for ordinary expenditures should re
quire a two thirds vote in each branch
and all bills authorizing the• creation
of Stato debts (except to defend in war,
repel invasion, or suppress insurrec
tion,) with the bills creating the rev
enue to liquidate such bebta, should
require the sanction of a popular
vote.
Sixth. The session of the Legisla•
ture should be limited to'sixty days,
and the salaries of the officers fixed
by the Constitution. Fully thirty
nine out of every forty bills passed by
our late Legislatures have been private
bills. Sixty days would be ample time
for the" 'consideration of all public
measures. '
Seventh. All Legislators elect should
bo required in qualifying as members,
to swear or affirm that they have not,
directly or indirectly, paid or promis
ed any. thing of value to influence
votes to elect them,' and that they
have not received, and will not re
ceive, anything of value in considera
tion of any official act.
Eighth. The State Treasurer should
be elected by the people for a term of
years, and the public funds placed
beyond the reach of private specula
tion.
A Terrible Calamity.
The Pt. Pleasant, (W. Va.) Journal
learns, from a reliable source, the par
ticulars of the following horrible affair,
which occurred in Roane County a few
days ago :
A lady, whose name our informant
had forgotten, residing upon the above
named creek, had went down to it in
the morning for the purpose of doing
"the week's washing," taking with her
the youngest child, an infant of about
a year old, leaving her other three at
the house. While engaged at her
work she heard suppressed screams at
the house. Taking up' her little child
from the soiled clothes upon which it
was sitting, she placed it in an empty
washtub to keep it from crawling in.
to the creek during her absence, and
hastened to the house, where she met
her oldest child with its head frightful
ly
disfigured and swollen. She hasti
ly glOaned ( from this ono that the three
children lied crawled under the house,
iu search of eggs; that while under
something had hurt them, and that
the two other children were still un
der the house. The mother upon
looking under the house found them l i
dead, with several moccasin snakes (a
very poisonous and deadly species)
crawling around their bodies. The
neighbors wore alarmed, and by their
assistance the snakes were killed and
the unfortunate children taken out,
their bodies-presenting a frightful and
sickening appearance. By this time
the elder ono was a corpse. The
mother, in her despair and agony, had
forgotten until now her little one at
the creek, and upon going down to the
creek for it it was only to find it also
a corpse in the creek. It is supposed
the little child climbed up in, the tub
and was holding on to the lower edge
of it when' the tub upset, rolling the
child into the water below and drown
ing it. It is said - the mother's grief
was so groat that at last accounts she
was a raving maniac.
Terrible Disaster.

FATAL RESULT OP A BALLOON ASCEN
SIGN.—The Saginaw, Michigan, Cour
ier, of a recont date, says: The sports
at the grounds of the Germania Socie
ty, where a balloon was to have made
an ascension yesterday, wore inter
rupted - by an unexpected fatal acci
dent. The furnace for generating hot
air to inflate the balloon, together with
apparatus pertaining to the_ balloon,
were located on the east side of the
grounds, on eitheraide of which wore
two high poles similar to those used at
tent-poles for circusses, stayed up with
ropes. As the preliminaries prepara
tory .to inflating the balloon were
commenced, several men attempted
to tighten the stay ropes.. Whether
the rope broke, or -became loosened,
the effect was the same.
The polo toppled, and as the rope
supporting it loosened, it fell with a
crash among the crowd that had gath
ered around to witness what was go
ing on. All escaped but one, a wo
man, who still kept her seat on one
of the benches scattered about the
ground, the polo striking her on the
back of the bead and neck, 'and dis
locating her neck, and probably caus
ing instant death. The crowd gath
ered around the fallen woman, and
sbe was conveyed into the Germania
school building near by. Several
physicians were on the ground, but
the woman was beyond all medical
assistance. Deceased was probably
twenty-five years of age. She was a
woman of rather questionable char
ter, and is known as the wife_ of Beno
Kattaino, proprietor of the New Or
