I'UC NEW RECRUITINO PARTY.—Adjutant
Caketr? S. pudding, of the 45th Dogs., with
his party, Corporal Stape and privates Col
lius and Linapp, has relieved Capt. Haines,
terge.ant Koch ond Corporal Dickinson,
ho have been stationed here on recruii.icg
service nearly all summer. The entire new
party, from the Adjutant down, have been
wuupdpd in the Lie battles. They are all,
however, rapidly recowing, and will nut
suffer, we hope from being stationed among
their friends, instead of in hospital. Capt.
Raines was very successful in obtaining re
gruits. We hope the Adjutant will be
equally lucky, though we fear he has not
so plentiful a source to draw from. The
recruiting office remain at No. 4,
Mechanics' Row.

as fur the skedaddlers, they must be hunted
up. Commissioner Reynolds has been ap

and can at once enter upon his duties by
ferreting nut the reluctant ones. Ile is the
right man for-the work.
We are sorry to say that no organization
in aid of the families 'of drafted men has yet
been effected. There is plenty of good will
the part of citizens, but until some gen
eral effort is made in the right direction, lit
tle will be effected. We "meet the eOfMO
- of a permanent relief association, which
shall look after the wants of all without ad
equate support ar protection. The ladies,
of course, ere always ready with their share.
The nodes of the "Soldiers Aid Society" to
drafted men will be found at the head of our
editorial columns, offering a supply of un
der clothing to all who are uosupplicd.
'rho drafted men of Columbia should look,
too, to their own interests. They will go
more than bairn, company strong, and should
organize before leaving home, and present
themselves as a body: they will thus carry
more weight, and secure to themselves, pos
sibly. a favorable position. A call has been
issued fur a meeting this (Saturday) eve
ning, at the Town Hall, for the purpose of
effecting an organization which, even should
it not hold good at Harrisburg, cannot fail
to be of service. IVe advise all drafted mot
to attend.

Mt. Joy on the 4th will be met by the two
which go to Lancester on the same day,

fight, byt came off more Ineki y daring the
seven days' fight before Richmond. We
never received a detailed account of the lose
at Malvern Ilill, and belim ed at the time
that all our boys were safe. We discovered,
however, that private John Wayne was in
hospital at Washington, severely, though
(supposed) not dangerausiy wounded. We
had concluded from the lapse of time that he
had recovered and joined his regiment, and
were shocked a few days since to learn'that
his friends had bean advised that lie was
dying. On Wednesday in rning his body
was brought home for interment. lie was
a brave boy, and fought without a falter
through the battles up to the time of re
ceiving his wound.
It seems a very hard c.tse that men, when
so severely wounded as tu incapacitate them
fur duty, yet still well enough to be re
unwed, shall not receive furlough and be
turned over to the more tender cares of their
friSnds, it would have been a mercy in
this case, both to the brave soldier and to
his friends, swan had his wound terminated
fatally.
As UN LUCKY CON:•CRII7.--0130 of the
drafted men of Manor, Samuel S. Funk, re•
siding between this place and Washipgton,
met with a serious accident a few days Since,
which will exempt him (at rather a heavy
figure, however,) from military service fur
some time, if not permanently. lie was in
a boat on the river examining his fish pot,
and had with him a loaded gnn. When
about starting for the shore his foot struck
something in the bottom of the boat which
wee in eontatst with the gun, and the jar
discharged the weapon, the load passing into
one 'foot tearing the toes seriously and in
flicting a severe wound. The wounded man
was alone when the accident happened, and
had to row . the boat to the shore, some dis
tance, before be could procure assistance.
Dr. Rrpcer, of this place, was called in and
dressed the inured foot. The extent of the
injury can scarcely yet be estimated, but it

RESISTING rue DRAFT: We are sorry to
be obliged to record the humiliating fact
that in Lancasteer twenty there have been
found men who will resist the. action of the
Government officers in putting into operation
the draft;'but it is right that when - such
things 00,oceur, the acts and the perpetra
r tors should be held up to the Earn and in
digoation of the public.
The facts in the case are as follows, as.
near as we can get them from the Deputy
Marshal himself: Mr. Thomas Furniss, the
marshal of Little Britain township, had
seised his notices excepting tine upon the
drafted men, and was proceeding, to finish
his task by notifying J. W. Fletcher Swift
(of peace-meeting fame) and Samuel Steele,
when he wits met on the road by a party of
seven or eight men, the parties to be notified
being among them, and warned against at
tempting to serve the notices, the parties
saying the notices a ,ould not be served,
1 and if they were they would not go nor be
taken alive." The Marshal also states that
the party actually oheerel for Jeff. Davis
and Stonewall Jackson. and some of them
said they would rather die than go into this
war; that they "would sooner spill their
blood here than along
- the P.nomac," etc.
One of the party was a noted fighting man,
and "bully" from Culerain, rejoicing in the
name of William Motitgomery, who was the
only one who laid hands upon the M
It is said that there were over twenty-five
of the party assembled together on the oc
casion. It seems that they did not stop
here, but threatened to molest one of the
neighbors, but as he had a goad rifle, and
no conscientious scruples about using it.
they changed their minds. This latter may
be exaggerated; but the fact of resistance to
to the Marshal an I treasonable expressions
--cheering for the rebel leaders, etc., there
can be no doubt of, AA we have it from the
officer's own hps- -he having come to this
city early this morning for the purpose of
procuring assistance in the performance of
his duty, The case will come under the
military authority, and it seems to us the
orders from headquarters amply authorize
prompt action by any police officer, or the
Sheriff of the county; but at present the
matter awaits the return of Coinmissioner
Reynolds. We tru,tt, in view of this state
of affairs, he will not only determine to act,
but follow up the determination immedi
ately by going, or send with sufficient force
to arrest the whole party and bring them to
speedy justice under ordet of the War D -
p.trtment; and we have no doubt that he
will thus act, as his consistent an,/ manly
course in the performance of his other oner
ous duties gives reason fur assurance that
he will meet the occasion with prompt and
stringent measures. We are only sorry
he is not here now, so that the aetiun could
be immediate and the affair nipped in the
bud, and the disgrace which these few trai
tors have broUght upon Lancaster county
be effectually" wiped out. '
Since the above was written, the Commis
sioner has returned home, and though be
has not, as was stated, received any oeleist
autice from headquarters of his being ap•
pointed as Provost Marshall, still he deter
mines to da his duty, and and take the draf
ted mess to Ihrrisbary; so the matter is set
tled—La/lc. Express, Onl. 30.

I am happy to be able to inform you that
the advance of the Army of the Potomac
commenced this morning, and I have rea
son to believe that before to-morrow night
the movement will be general along the
whole line, piecing the Potomac in one
At daylight this morning the cavalry
force of General Pleasanton, with Any pieces
of artillery, crossed the new pontoon bridge
at Heflin, eight miles east of Harper's Fer
ry, and proceeded direct to Lovettsrille, in
boudoun twenty.
At f,esettavUle our cavalry entered about
eight °Wm& in the morning, and the few
Jebel pickets stationed there fled' before
them in the direction of Leesburg, The
people of this loyal town, especially the la
dies, received our troops with great enthusi-
MO, and the Stars and Stripes were thrown
out in mil parts of the teem. Many of their
fugitive husbands and sone returned with
the cavalry, and the demonstration was
most earnest and unmistakable.
Without stopping, .except to leasapiekets
and a guard, General Pleisanton moved on
in the direction of Waterford, expecting to
reach Leesburg early in the afternoon.
There was, at last accounts, a email force of
Rebel infantry end cavalry at Leesburg,
and there may possibly have been a fight
their!, unless they retreated on hearing of
his approach.
Shortly after the cavalry advance hod
crossed, Gen. Burnside, with his second
army corps, commenced crossing at the
same point, and duting the whole day the
bridge was constantly under the tread of
tba advancing column. They proceeded in
light marching order, though an immenese
train of wagons was waiting to follow them.
It wee the intention of General Burnside
to rest for the night at Lovetteville and move
forward on Monday morning, in what di
rection was not known. The troops were
in fine spirits, notwithstanding the bad
weather, and cheered most lustily us they
reached the Virginia shore.
The troops on Bolivar heights are also
under marching orders, and it is thought
will be in motion to-morrow. It is reported
that the enemy have already retired from
our front, withdrawing their pickets yester
day, apparently aware of out early advance.
We have also tidings from the upper line
of the Potomac, showing that active move
ments are also on foot there. The Rebels
ore said to have evacuated Martinsburg on
Sa'urday.

OALL3POLIC, OHIO, Oct. 23
Rumors of the return of the Rebels, hea

in circulation to-day. A Rebel cavalry
force appeared at Charleston on the 21st.
They reported that Gen. Loring's command
had been heavily reinforced by Gen. Floyd,
and was returning to hold the Valley at all
hasarde. They erpreseed unbounded confi
dence in their ability to "clean out the Yan
kees." The cavalry were no doubt sent out
to ascertain our whereabouts and feel our
strength. No Rebel infantry is believed to
be this aide of Gauley.
Our forces have reached Red noose,
which place is within twenty-eight miles of
Charleston. Reinforcements are being
plashed forward rapidly, and if the report of
there being a Rebel format Charleston be
true, you will soon bear of a fight or a foot-,

llousroN, Sept. 27-7 P. M.—We have
no later news by this train from beyond
Orange. We give the letter from our cor
respondent regarding Sabine .Pass., which
is the first definite intelligence we have re
ceived relative to the occupation of the place
by the Federate:
BEAUMONT. Sept. 27. 1812.
We found everythinw" excitement upon ar
rival here. The Federals have captured
Sabine Pass, and their flag now waves
over the town. Our garrison consisted only
of fifty men, and were under commut.d of
Major Irving.
The enemy opened fire on the fort at day
light Thursday morning. Our Lottery re
plied. Both combatants had their shuts fall
short of each other. Our battery dischasged
some fifteen shots, and both then ceased
firing until 4 P. M., the Federal schooners
nearing the battery in the meantime. A
brisk firing was kept up by both parties,
and the enemy having superior rifled guns,
outreached those at the fort. The attack
ing force consisted the steamer Llatterae
and two schooners. We had four guns—
two eighteen-pounders and two thirty-tiro
pounders.
A council of war was held by the officers
after dark, and the place deemed unworthy
to stand the seige, owing to the small num
ber of.men and the superiority of the ene
my's guns, and evacuation decided upon.
The guns were spiked, the most of the am
munition brought away and the balance de
stroyed, the men saving most of their bag
gage.
The Federals landed yesterday at eight
o'clock, and raised the gridiron, burned the
barracks, and swore that no other flag
should ever wave over Sabine Pass.

Col. Da Bray is here, assisted by Lieut.
Colonel Ashbel Smith, of the 2d Texas, and
is confident all will yet be right. If vulur
and scientific military skill can accomplish
anything, these officers will do the work.
I would rather fight under them than any
officers in Texas. I was under Smith at
Shiloh and Farmington, and know that he
is not the man to dodge bullets and shells.
Should we make at attack, it will be a
good plan to view our young epaulet parlor
soldiers; but I have no doubt they are bravo,
but a person who has never been a target
fur bullets in battle, acts strangely as the
line of battle is formed. Let no ono in your
city feel alarm; the blow they have struck
at Sabine is only to grab the schooner now
nut and expected in shortly. Let all be
ready at all times; get your guns in readi
ness, and, when wanted, you can use theta
as Texans only know how.
P. S.—The Felerals threaten to burn the
town if we molest them. Nothing further
