All the de.yelopments in reference to
the recent Niagara Peace negotiations add
to the folly of the }v hole afi.ir. In fact
it inis degenerated illto a broad farce, of
aelAcia Colorado Jewett, who is balrfool,
*Of knave,and altogether the most windy
of humbugs, is the chief character.
Jewett is out in a three -column narrative
:Of his part in the affair. Re was the go
iietween who brought sfr. erreeley and
the Rebel agents into communication; he
burdened the telegraph lines with de
spatches, spurred up Mr. Greeley, en
couraged the Rebel agents, wrote letters
of ;Arica to the President, adnionished
Bennett, of the IL? pufred Sanders,
And in the ufnist of all his - flighty busy
bodyism, addressed a flaming annonoce
ment to the French Emperor that he
(Seeders) was " arranging an immediate
private negotiation." It ie ono cif the
marvels of human weaknesses :hat Mr.
Greeley could have had anything to ale
with an affair in which Jewett Was a
prominent actor

There are exciting rum4rs of another
r.,ia by the rebels into 'Maryland and
Pennsylvania; but whatever may be the
rebel force on the opposite side of the
otgugne, up to this writing they have
made no 4ttempt to cross. It is gener
ally supposed tliLt the object of the
rebels is to keep our forces out of the
Shenandoah Valley ant then to gather
the harvest. A few days will, however,
develop° the situation of affairs. The
preparations made by the Government to
Meet an aggressive movement this side of
the Potex4ac, are adequate to any enter-
gcucy that may arise.
Geu. Sherman is still knocking away
at the 'gates of Atlanta. Prisoners cap
tured on the 22J and 23d agree in as
serting, thas the Rebel General Hood was
killed on the 22d, and the better part of
strayed...! .The 'macaws
Tula was beyond anything yet accom
plished during' the war. With a loss of
Ave killed and thirteen wounded. he cap
tured and paroled two thousand rebels,
and kiilud and wounded two hundred.—
He also brought into Marietta about
eight hundred horses and mules and
about the same number of contrabands,
and destroyed thirty-one miles of railroad,
thirteen railroad depots, and great gnat'.
Aitics of store; oottun, &c.
From Grant's army we have informa
tion that.the scige of Petersburg is pro
gressing favorably. Picket firing be
tween the Ninth Corps and the enemy is
brisiay kept up, but very few casualties
considering the large cittantity t.f
powder spent by both parties.
Tucker, Sanders and Thompson, who
are included among the pretended Rebel
"Peace" Commissioners at Niagara Falls,
are all heavy' defaulters to the Union
Government. Sanders is behind some
thirty thou.saud dollars as Navy Agent
alder Buehana.o at New York. Tucker
defrauded the ,Governruent odt of about
.eighty tbousantidollars through the Lir.
apool Consulate, given him by Bach-

Authority has been granted to the

DE4a Sgz :—The " Clam Thumpers"
of Maryland, with the " Loather goads"
of Pennsylvania are at last beginning to
show signs of vitality and a returning
reason, since the ludicrous scare they re
ceived Erom the chivalrous legions of that
notorious robber and horse-thieving ren
egade, Harry Gilmore, who rode around
irs, not long since, burning private
dwellings and brilges, to the entire sat
isfaction and delight of a forlorn, but
sympathizing community.
- Again our city begins to wear a more
;waitress-like appearance, and the public
,thoronetfares once more appear daily
thronged with the "gay and festive "
beauty uf.old--rapparently fully recovered
from tire skrnerfrif effects of 'the late an
nual invasion.
-I had the pleasure to-day of beholding
seven hundred and fifty rebel prisoners,
captured from the recent raiders, pass
through on their way to 'freer York and
other safe localities desigiated by tbe

The re.i), roads to' and' Torn the City are

thengh the mal aides done tq 'these great

the many travelers who daily pass over

The militia orgauization movement
progresses admirably throughout' the
city. The eerollieg officers are busily
engaged in finding out the able bodied

We havelet little Dews from Grant's
army, though we are assured that every-1
thing goes on well, and all point to the
ultimate sueces3 of the great campaign.
On the other hand, the news from At

ful nature for the Federal arms; Gen.
Sherman has driven the army of John

consist in the scattering of every build

HOSPITAL, 2nd Div. 9th 4. C.
Near Petersburg,July llth,
Btto. It.A.mun :—Another warm day
has just passed. the evening brings as a
grateful rain, the first we have had sines
the evening of June 2nd, just previous
to the memorable light of Bethesda
Church. It is DOW pelting musically on
uty tent roof; and I know the whole army
will hail its advent with joy, for all have
been suffering • front the great and pro
longed' drought. The rain will place a
more fitvoratde aspect upon things around
Again aro you threatened with inva
sion by the Rebel hosts, the papers bring
us accounts of the great raid, doubtless
the home guards and militia arc again
astir, and performing prodigies of valor
before the enemy, now is their time to
work and E . trust they will du it.
The siege progresses slowly but surely,
none of us doubting the ultimate result
for our Mississippi campaign taught us
the value and strength of our great cow
wancJor,•Unele Sam Grant, with a close
mouth he moves ouwa'rd and as surely us
Vicksburg full, so surely must Peters
burg succumb.
With us the Fourth pas.ed quietly,
much more so than many anticipated.
for numbers expected on that day there
would be a great fight, but the silence
equalled that of the year previous only
we were not su much elated by the news
of victory. How fared it with you r
was fortunate enough to be invited to
partake or au excellent dinner, and par
took.
Since my last we have been called
upon to mourn the death of our gallant
Major Kelsey, his death k-avesa vacancy
which ciautiot he filled. He was a good
citizen and a good SJldier, always the
same self-possessed, 3,,117 reliant man, to
he depended upon at all times. Our la
mented General Welsh well knew and
appreciated Major Kelsey's worth, they
now sleep together on the same hill top,
victims of the sante MI disease, the Mis
sissippi malaria, for surely the Major's
wound was not the immediate cause of
his death. One by one Columbia's brave
sons are passing away; to the list must
be added our gallant comrades, Vache
and Hinkle, of whose death the tidings
come breaking in upon us. Little did I
think when bidding Saw good bye, as he
was starting for Washington, that it was
the last farewell. I had learned to know
the value of so-brave a soldier,and hoped
that in time he might be returned to our
ranks—Howard's death was scarce tines
-1 pected, though seemingly doing well
when sent away,the amputation of a limb
is at all times to be loaked upon as a pear
approach to death ; hti too.will be missed
from his plane in his cong; any. The re
! port of the death of Serg't Armstrong
has aLse reached U 3, but I know not
whether it is correct; if true, Company
-"B" It.o.et a valuable um .nentnissioued
efficer and' the service a soldier always
true to his. duty. How sad are the
ettanes &Monts us, -yet there remains the
hope that they have passed to that happy
home where strife and contest have no
place. and the knowledge that they have
died upholdiog, ow common country,suid
flag and .the great principles of free4m.
Their memories will over be bright in.
the hearts of comrades who know their
worth. The Coltunbi.a boys. remaining
with tke,reginient are I belie.ye; all
::The army is now, 'lying iozood style,
quite a good supply,Of vegetables,so much
needed now,is beiog furnished.a portion of
which comes frotuAlie Sanitary Commis
sion. Besides this we are quite well
supplied with ice,the supply being drawn
from the ice-houses of the surrounding
country.. Our Division is using ice from
the Vetersborg City Ice Rouse. This
fact contrasts; strongly - with the state
ments amide iri the commencement of
the ww, of the givat probable suffering
that would be felt by our erring brethren
of the south fur waut - of ice. The quality
is good, but it is by.uo means su thick in
inches as that produced on northern
streams; its presence adds utuelt to our
comfort.
Saturday evening witnessed the death
of another brave soldier, Serg't Seward
Houghton of Co I; 51st N. Y. Vols.—
Two days previous he had been promoted
from Corporal of the color gua.rd,u4 which
capacity lie had served fora twelvemonth,
during which period .ho haul always car
ried one of the flags of his regiment. On
Saturday, towards evening lie was struck
by apiece of shell near the right shoulder,
passing downward and tearing the lungs.
His dying couch was
o snrrounded by
brethren of the " mystic tie" ministering
to his. wants and supplying as much as
could be the place of those near and dear
in his titr off northern home. Though
suffering intensely he died calmly and
peacefully, in the hope of a better world.
Last evening his remains were commit
ted to the tomb,to which they where fol
lowed by brother Masons,and the Masonic
Ceremonies were pert'ormed, by Bro.
Bliss, Chaplain of his regiment, and Bro.
Beckey, Chaplain of the 4Sth Pcnn'a
Vols: His old comrades of the color
guard with the tattered banner he so long
defended, ware also present to do lion
or to his remains, and accompanying
these were the surviving comrades of his,
cowpony, there, also to pay their last
tribute of esteem, and discharge their
farewell shot over the grave of their brave
comrade and our worthy Brother.
July 20th. This morning's mail brings
we last week's Spy, which reminded me
of toy unfinished letter,begun on the 11th
iust., and laid aside at the time to attend
to some duties which called me away tor
a day or two.

of the Columbia one hundred day Com
pany, a number of familiar names, who
will by the end of their terns know seine
what more of, wor,than what is !mined by
the perusal of dailies by the Fiume fire
side. Other names are missing that
should surely be found thereon. I trust
that by your next issue you will be able
to publish a complete list of those who
did not accompany the company front the
town, after having enrolled themselves,
Stir them up Mr. - ..Editor,
A few days since I had a trip to City
Point, our present base of operations on
thoJamesT — ltis ant -aVstich-pfaven-thue
moose amount of material necessary to
supply the daily requirements of an army
like ours, and to know the unbounded
resources of the loyal North. Among
the shipping flags in the stream and lying
at the dock may be seen the flags of the
Sanitary and Christian Cothmissions, in
dicating where those in need of their as
sistance may apply fur and receive it.
On the banks of the Appomattox is
another notable feature, the immense
field hospital composed uf: hundreds of
hospital tents, well arranged, clean and
comfortable iu appearance. This large
hospi al is used as the receiving depot
for the wounded and sick from the front,
hence they are shipped by boat to the
northern ports. The men of the differ
ent corps are kept separate but the whole
hospital is under one management. A
little farther up the river may be seen
the hospital of the Cavalry Corps, and
yet farther ou, the lookout tower buiitty
Cum Butler, looms up plainly iu view;
this tower is at times the object of the
enemy's shells, one of which struck it,
doing but little damage. I was fortunate
enough to see the General walking along
the railroad. I easily recognized hint by
the strong resemblance to the p .rtraits as
seen in our illustrated. Lt. Gen. Grant
has his Head Quarters at the Point. On
Sunday night au attack from the enemy
was expected and everything held in
readiness fur their rcecptiou,whieh would
have been anexceedingly warm one. Our
Brigade had just been relieved, and the
boys but fiiirly settled down fur the night,
when they were ordered into the rifle-pits
awaiii where they remained until 10 min.
0 7
on Monday. The Rebs evidently thought
twice before leaping once and did not
make the attempt. In leaving the pits
on Monday, Lieut. Gibbouy of Co. C,"
at that time in command of his company,
was mortally wounded and died very
bh or tly after reaching the hospital He
VMS a young and efficient officer, ruceutly

His home was in Huntingdon Co., Pa.
j His body has been embalmed and sent
j home for burial.
We are now receiving a bountiful sup
ply of vegetables, au.l the improvement
in the diet, produces a corresponding
improvement iu the health of the men.
Ist. Serg,•'t Edgar Eyde of Co. K."
who was left at Alexandria, Va., sick,
has returned to his company looking
strong and well again. lie is acting 2ud

quiry, hOwever, I learned to my surprise
that-the ,Benn!a.lt. It. Co,: contemplated
making some changes ' in the grade, dte., of
their road, at
,or "oat Grove's Corner.—
This may only be a guess on the part of
my informant. Sometimes the plans and
intentidus of Corporationsgas wellas those
of Generals; loyal and disloyal;) by some
unaccountable moans "leak out" and are
subjects of disseussion, long before the
public are officially informed of the fact--
It behooves those who are interested in the
welfure'and convenience of the inhabitants
of the "lowa. end" of our Borough, to be
up and doing, for they will most assuredly
wake up some fine morning and find, that
what Ls now characterised as an "idle ru
mor" is a reality.
• There is one thing about this matter Ido
nqt understand, Mr. Editor, it is this ;
Why does the Penn' a R. It. Co. prefer a
heayy grade and a short curve, when they
can avoid both, with less expense, than is
required to„raise the present trnck,and pay
largo damages to the owners of pro
perty along the road when this proposed
change takes place—by tsking the route
through the Bank Alley?
Some selfish and narrow-minded men,
think thitt the Company propose to enrich
and nooommodate one or two property
owners near the Basin. Others assert that
Mr. Scott is averse to a change in the loca
tion of the road, for the reqson that a "home
stead" in which he is said to be interested
stands in the way. The community at
large will be benelltted WI well as the
Stockholders of the Company, by a change
in the location of the road. Why cannot
it be done? Let the subject be brought
fairly tAi the notice of the Directors and
stockholders of the Pa.lLll.Co.and they will
not dare to outrage this community, by
ruining one half of the town. F. A. G.
