In a little more than a month Con. gross will meet, and the people look to Congress for a relief from every burthen except those burthens with. out which the public service cannot be carried on. KEEP THE PURSE AND THE WORD APART A number of members of Congress also hold military positions. We trust that otie of the first acts of Congress will be the purging itself of all such. Compel them either to resign their positions in the army or their seats in Congress. We care not to what party such may belong; -the two po• sitions are incompatible, and if the precedent is established will lead to the direst mischief. The purse and the sword should be kept apart—in fact the constitution expressly pro hibits persons holding any office while a mum ber of either House of Congress. The disposition of the last extra ses sion to encourage the evil is a sum. 4ient excuse to denounce It at this time. If Congress is to be filled with Generals, Colonels, Majors, Captains, Pay—Masters, Quartermasters, &e., there will not be an end to the war until the wholecountry is ruined. It will be their interest to. prolong the struggle,lttniti the county will suffer more from their interested and selfish votes than it will from the hostility of the rebels. We trust theomit will speak out on this subject and nip the threatened evil in the bud. Ifiel' Some person had the assurance, last week to send us a speech of Hon. Charles Sumner, delivered before the Massachusetts Republican State Con vention, on the Ist inst Mr. Stun ner has scarcely beep heard from since the war broke out—fighting not being in his line. His speech-making subject is the "Barbarism of slavery; or Union and Peace I how shall they be restored 7" He takes the ground that the overthrow of slavery will at once make an end of the war—and that not to bring the war directly to bear upon slavery is to squander life and treasure in a vain masquerade of battle, which can have no practical result. Charles had better keep him • self dark. This nation is engaged in a Waggle, for the preservation of the Union under the Constitution, guar anteeing to each State the right to regulate its own domestic affairs in its own way. Congress' has pro claimed that the war is not waged for purpose of emancipation.; and the President has publicly rebuked Gen. Fremont for exceeding the powers vested in him by the Government.— These abolition agitators, who have contributed in no small degree to plunge the country into its present difficulties, are as great public ene. mica as the Southern rebels ; and when the Nation subdues the latter, *ey will have a long account to set tle with Mr. Charles Sumner and his disloyal crew of incendiaries. lin.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE A complete list of the members of the next Legislature is notTeit attain able owing to the fact that the Army vote, which will not be officially pub lished until November, will in some cases change the present result.

An important correspondence between Secretary Seward and Lord Lyons, the British EMbassndnr, is published. The latter complains of, and remonstrates against, the arrest and imprisonment of two BritiSh sub jects lately, and calls the 'proceeding arbitrary and irregular. Mr. SeWard replies, in effect, that the President and his advisers are responsible for their prOccedings, and that it pre sumed that they understand, the true 'meaning of our Constitution and laws as well as British lawyers, and that they prefer to be governed by their own view of the organic law in the execution of their trust, in disregard of the interference of others. This correspondence, and the cir cular of Mr. Seward to the Governors of the States relative to preparations of defence against foreign powers, has created great excitement. through out the country.

Our loss was only four krilled and seven wounded, (one mortally) and one missing: Col; Geary was slight ly wounded with . a shell. The fight lasted five hours. The following dispatch JO - COL Scott, Assistant Secretary of War, gives additional particulars : "Tbe battle-field was at Bolivar Heights, near Harper's Ferey, Where -450, afterwards increased to 1,100, of Col.

Fremont's--head quar ters, at Warsaw, reached hero to-day with dispatches for Gen. M'Kinstry. It was said Price had made a stand in Cedar county, 25 miles from- Osee ole, with 20,000 well armed anddisci plined troops, and a large force of ir regular militia. On the arrival of Fremont at Warsaw, the opposite bank of the Osage river was filled with rebel horse-men, who were dispersed by a few rounds of Cannister. Fre mont had .began preparations to lay a pontoon bridge across the Osage when the messenger left, and it was supposed his army would be over the river Wednesday night. He was de termined to push on with "the utmost vigor, and would probably soon come up with the enemy and force hini to fight or retreat. - The county town of Cedar county, where Price is preparing for bittle, is called "Fremont."

The Un ion troops lost three killed and two wounded, but they captured one hund red and twonty.seven Enfield rifles and a large number of sabres, bowie knives and cavalry accoutrements. MARRIAGE LAPLAND_ It is death in Lapland to marry a man without the consent of his pa rents and friends. When a young man has formed an attachment for a female, it is the fashion of her friends to meet, to behold the young parties run a race together. The maiden is FROM MISSOURI. TUCKY allowed in starting, one-third of the whole distance, so that it is imposs:- ble, except willing herself, that she should be overtaken. If the maid outruns the suitor, the matter is end ed; he must never have her, it being criminal for the young man to regard the notion of marriage. But if the virgin have an affection for him, though at first she run quite fast to try his love, she will without Atlan ta's golden balls to retard her speed, pretend casualty and a voluntary halt Wore she comes to the mark at the end of the race. Thus none are to marry against their will ; and that is the reason that in this poor coun try the married people are richer in their contentment than in other lands• where ek) many feign love and cause. unhappiness. The Calmueks, a Tartar tribe, have the same custom, only with theagree ableffifferenee that the amorous race is performed -on horseback. Gener ally it is said among these Asiatics that the-leading horse loses the race. In pursuing this interesting subject we .note a coincidence between the Calmuck wooing and these of the most civilized people, for it often falls out that in -enlightened .matritnonial races, like those , of the Calmuck, at the end of the heat the most refined and elegant, pursuer finds that he has only 'caught a tartar: We would -pursue this interesting subject, but the terrible directness of the joke already perpetrated makes bur pen blush. ; - Ver .

A portion of the centre of the army. ad vanced on Friday four miles from Falls Church, towards Fairfrx Court House, without opposition. This advance is fol low.ed up by others from the right and left wirigs.of the army. The enemy has a full view of our advanced position ; but no indications are given ofa disposition.to dispute the ground. The indications are increasing, and are strengthened by the statements of escaping slaves, that Beau regard will fall back open . Manassas, be fore he will make a resistance. There are bat few of our troops in the rear now, excepting those left to man the forts.— The forward movements are entirely un der the direction of General McClellan, as is ego the whole disposition of the army, and beyond the Administration and Gen eral Stott his plans and purposes are un known.

The Evangelical Lutheran !ynod of East Pennsylvania has recently held its twentieth annual session in the church of the Rev. L. E. Albert, in Germantown.— The opening sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Hay, of Harrisburg. There were fifty-three clergy-men and forty-sev en lay delegates in attendance, one hun dred in all, besides a number of delegates from other i3odies, advisory members, commissioners from churches, etc. Rev. J. A. Seiss, D. D., was elected President; Rev. Matthias Sheeleigh, Secretary, and the Rev. L.• E. Albert, Treasurer. The parochial reports and statements of pastors were of a highly encouraging character, and a large amount of business was transacted pertaining to the Mission ary and Education operations of Synod. A series of patriotic resolutions on the subject of the war, were read by Rev. E. W. Hutter, and unanimously . adopted.— They declare the rebellion as a plain vio lation of the Apostle's , injunction for all men to be subject to the higher powers which ale ordained of God, express sym pathy with the patriotic soldiers in the service of the Government, and recom mend the churches to send them material aid, in the shape of stockings, blankets, and other winter comforts. The meeting of General Synod, post poned from May last, on account of . the War, was recommended to be held in May, 1862. The Emmaus Orphan House at Middle town, founded under the will of George Frey, was supposed to be in danger -of being wrested from the Lutheran interest, and measures were adopted to prevent it. On Monday evening, after an impress ive discourse, from Dr. Seiss,. five -candi dates for the gospel ministry were solemn ly set apart to this service, viz Censure, Samuel Laird and Johnson .11. Groff. By ordination, E. S. Johnston, Y. H. Davidson, and J. Friday. Infant baptism was recornmecled to be performed hereafter, unless in exceptional cases, in the church, as are the other sac raments, and not in private. The Lutheran Board ofPublieation was commended to the continued favor of the churches, as also the Germantown Orphan Home. The latter was visited by the members of Synod in a body. The Treasurer's Report exhibited the following receipts and disbursements, in explanation of which, however, it must be added, that many of the eongregations dis burse their own moneys, viz :—Synodical Treasury, 8250,83; Horne Missions, 5998, 66 ; Education, $1126.45; Foreign Mis sions. 8441,93 ; Pastors' Fund, 8116,49. The sessions lasted one week, and were throughout characterized by the utmost harmony and good feeling The next session is to be held on the first Wednes day ofSeptember, 1862, in the church of the Rev. M. Valentine, in the city ofßead ing. - THE GREATEST WELL Yer.—The editor of the Mercer Dispatch. gives a descrip tion of an extraordinary vein of oil tapped the other day on the McElhan3r farm, at a depth of tour hundred and sixty feet.— He says : A watch was held while it ran in a tank, holding, by measure, one hun dred and eight barrels, and it filled the same in fifty-five minutes ! At a fair es timate, taking this as a data, those who were working and watching about it are confident that in the first twenty-four hours, it flowed two' thousand four hun dred barrels of oil And when we left on Frid orning these appeared - to be 'but littleinution•.--What is also re marka_ble, is the fact that this well is loca ted no more thin twenty rods from the Funk well, which has been flowing some nine months, and-has yielded an almost incredible quantity . of.the greasy fluid.— It would have been supposed that the lat-- ter had - drained all the oil for a considera ble .distance around, but here'is one more prolific within twenty: rods.
