The arrest of the notorious conspirator and traitor, Kane, Police Marshal of lial timore, and subsequently of the four i'o- J lice Commissioners, augurs favorably for the peace of that city. In Kane's princi pal station house, cannon, muskets, rifles, guns, ammunition, and almost everything j connected with war material, were found j stowed away in the cellar, under the floods. ! and between the ceilings. Among other • things was a 12 pound ball labeled " from j Fort Sumter to Col. Kane." The city is : now in military possession,and Gen. Hanks j •declares lie will hold it until loyal men are ! appointed to office. Several skirini.-hes have occurred at dif- j erent points between scouts, in which our > troops turned the game on the traitors by ! shooting them down. At Mathias Point, i on the Potomac, Captain Ward, of the Na- j vy, was killed in a foolish attempt to con- j struct u battery with a few men, when a ■, regiment or two at least ought to have ' been there. Our opinion is that decisive measures ; will not be adopted until Congress, which 1 meets 011 the Ith, will sanction the war j measures adopted by the Government.— ' Vidian iiuham, of Ohio, and a few ether l I democratic tories will no doubt endeavor : to opiiose the Government, but the man; j body ei the members, without distinction !

Seolt today received the following dispatch; j CUMBERLAND, June 27. ! 7b G> vol M : i have been aecu-t mcd to sending my I mounted pickets, i.f thirteen men in all, to j different p >s.ts along the several approaches j t Cumberland. Finding it next to impossi- j Me to get reliable information of the enemy, I yesterday, I united the thirteen and directed j t! ro, ii possible, to get to Pr.tnkford, a town j midway L- tween this place and Romney, to j s c if there were rebel troops there. They i went within a quarter of a mile cf the place I and i- end it full of cavalry. Returning they j overtook a party of 41 horsemen, and at ; once charged them, routing and driving them back more than a mile, killing eight of them and securing seventeen horses. Corporal Hays, in command of my men, was desper ate ly wounded with sabre cuts and bullets. In taking them back my men haulted about an hour, and were then attacked liy the enemy, who were reinforced to about sev enty men. The attack was so sudden that they abandoned the horses and crossed to a email island at the mouth of Patterson Creek. The charge of the rebels was bold and con fident, yet twenty three fell under the fire of my pickets, close about and on the island. .My fellows were finally driven off, and scattering each man for himself they are ail in camp uow. One of them, Corporal Hayes, is wounded but recovering. Another of the party, John C. Hilling-brook, is dead. Three companies went to the ground this morning and recovered everything belonging to my picket except a few of their horses. The en emy were engaged all night in boxing up their dead. Two of their officers were kil led, and they laid out twenty-three on the porch of a neighboring farm house ! I will bury my poor fellow to morrow. 1 have positive information, gained to day, that there are four regiments of rebels in and about llomney, under Col. McDonald. What their particular object is I cannot learn. The two Pennsylvania regiments are en camped at the State line, nine miles from here, waiting further orders. They have not yet reported to me. They hesitate about in vading Maryland. The report of the skirmish sounds like fic tion, but is not exaggerated. The fight was really one of the most desperate on record, and abounds with instances of wonderful da ring and coolness. (Signed) LEWIS WALLACE, Col. Eleventh Regiment Indiana Volunteers. Glassware.

PRAISE TO Turn The Child Witness. The fallowing beautiful illustration of simplicity and truth, is from the pen ; of S. 11. Hammond, formerly editor of the 1 Albany State Register. He was an eye witness to the scene, which took place in ; one of our highest courts. I A little girl, nine years of age, was of fered as a witness asainst a prisoner who was on trial for a felony committed in her father's house. 'Now, Kmily,' said the counsel for the ; prisoner, upon her being offered as a wit ! ness, 'I desire to know whether you know the nature of an oath?' 'I don't know what you mean,' was the j simple answer. 'There, your honor,' said the counsel, I addressing the court, 'is anything further necessary to demonstrate the validity of my i objection? This witness should be reject j eJ. frhe docs not know the nature of an j oath.' j 'Let us see,' said the Judge. 'Come ' here, my daughter.' Assured by the kind tone and manner ! of the Judge, the child stepped towards him and looked confidingly up in his face, ; with a calm, clear eye, and in a manner so | artless and frank that it went straight to I the heart. ! 'Did you ever take an oath ?' inquired the Judge. The little girl stepped back j with a look of horror, and the red blood mantled in a blush all over her face and | neck as she answered: I 'No sir.' She thought he had intended to inquire ! if she had ever blasphemed. 'I did not mean that,' said the Judge, i who saw her mistake. 'I mean were you ! ever a witness before?' 'No sir, I never was in court before,'was ! the answer. ! ■ lie handed her an open Bible. 'Bo you know that book, my daughter?' She looked at it and answered : 'Yes sir, it is the Bible.' 'Bo you ever read it?' he asked. 'Yes sir, every evening.' 'Can you tell rue wi.at the Bible is?' in quired the Judge. 'lt is the word of the great Cod,' said she. 'Well, place your hand upon this Bible, and listen to what I say,' and lie repeated slowly and solemnly the oath usually ad ministered to witnesses. 'Now,'said the Judge, 'you are sworn as a witness: will you tell me what wiilbe fal you if you do not tell the truth?' 'L will be shut up in the State Prison,' answered the child. 'Anything else?' asked the Judge. 'I shall never go to Heaven,' she repli ed. 'll ow do you know this?' asked the Judge again. The child took the Bible and turned rapidly to the chapter containing the com mandments, and pointed to the injunction, 'Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.' 'I learned that before I could read.' 'Has any one talked with you about be ing a witness here in court against this man?' induired the Judge. 'Yes sir,' she replied. 'My mother heard that they wanted me to be a witness, and last night she called me to her room and asked me to tell her the Ten Command ments, and then wc kneeled down togeth er, and she prayed that I might under stand how wicked it was to bear false wit ness against 1113' neighbor, and that God woulJ help me, a little child, to tell the truth as it was before him. And when I came up here with father, she kissed me, and told me to remember the Ninth Com mandment, and that God would hear every word I said.' 'Do you believe this?' asked the Judge, while a tear glistened in his eye, and his lip quivered with emotion. 'Yes sir,' said the child, with a voice and manner that-showed her conviction of its truth was perfect. 'God bless you, my child,' said the Judge; 'you have a good mother. The witness is competent,' he continued. — Were I on trial for my life, and innocent of the charge against me I would pray God for ouch witnesses as this. Let her be examined.' She tcld her story with the simplicity of a child, as she was, but there was a dis tinctness about it that carried conviction of its truth to every heart She was rigidly cross examiued. The counsel plied her New Series— Vol, XV, No. 35. t,u!i in.mite and ingenious questionings, but she varied from her first statement In nothing. The truth as spoken by that lit tle child was sublime. Fal.-eliood and"per jury had preceded her testimony. The prisoner had intrenched himself in lies till he deemed himself impregnable. Witnes ses had falsified facts in his favor, and vil lainy had manufactured for him a sham de fense. Hut before her testimony falsehood was scattered like chaff. The Lttle child lor whom a mother had prayed for strength to be given her (o speak the truth as it was bef'ire God, broke the common devices of matured villainy to pieces like a potter's vessel. The strength that her mother prayed for was given her, and the sublime simplicity—terrible 1 mean to the prisoner and his associates —with whom she spoke was a revelation lrom Clod himself. Dying- Nations. Why do nations die? Cultivated Greece and all-conquering Rome. Vandal, and Goth, and flun, and Moor, and Pole, and Turk, all dead or dying. Why? .Mur dered by nations more powerful ? Swal lowed up by earthquakes? Swept away by pestilence and plague, or starved by pitiless famine? Not by any of these. — Not by the lightning and thunder; not by the prisoned air of volcanic fires did they die! I hey perish by moral degradation ; the legitimate result of gluttony, intem perance and effeminacy. \Y hen a nation becomes rich, there is leisure and the means of indulging in the appetites of pas sions of our nature, which waste the body and wreck the mind. As with nations, so with families. Wealth takes away the wholesome stimulus of effort, idleness opens the flood-gates of passionable indulgence, and the heirs of millions die heirless and poor, and both name and memory inglor iously rot. If, then, there is any truth and force in argument, each man owes to himself, to his country, and more than all to his Maker, to live a life of temperance, industry and self-denial as in every animal gratification, and with these, having an eye to the glory of God, this nation of ours will live with increasing prosperity and renown, until with one foot on land and another on sea, the angel of eternity proclaims time is no more. E-Du'fo cure us of our immoderate love of gain we should seriously consider how many goods there are that money will not purchase, and these the best; and how many evils there are that money will rem edy, and these the worst. An ancient phil osopher of Athens, where the property of the wealthy was open to the confiscations of the informer, consoled himself for the loss of his fortune by the following reflec tion : I have lost my money, and with it my cares ; for when I was rich, I was afraid of every poor man, but now that f am poor, every rich man is afraid of me i men were compelled to givo a rea son for everything which they profess to believe, one of two things is certain : either reasons would become more abundant than they are in the present day, or doctrines would be fewer. jL O O - FARMERS LOOK HERE.
