THE RELIEF FUND.— We may state for the inlormation of all concerned that the late action of the Relief Board, directing orders to cease as the troops are paid off, is not intended to mean a total discontinuance to all; but satisfactory evidence must be produced that their supports have failed to send a fair proportion of their pay, or if received that it has not been squandered. We are sorry to say that several case 9 have come to our knowledge where the amounts remitted were out of all proportion to the pay received, and also where money has been spent which, under the circumstances, was both needless and useless. We also hope that merchants ami tra ilers generally will not take advantage of orders in the hands of those holding them by refusing to give change the same as they do for bank notes far less safe thau these orders, as the latter are received on deposit at Russell's Banking House, and tor the payment of State and County tax es are as good as gold. DROWNED. —William, a son of G. W. Hawker, between 9 and 10 years of age, was drowned under distressing circum stances on Monfay morning, about 10 o'clock. The boy and his three sisters were in a leaky boat at the mouth of the creek, and under a belief that it would sink before they could get to shore the boy jumped out to lighten the vessel, but sprang with such force that he went down, and, so far as we can learn, did not rise again. Search was made as soon as possi ble tor his body, but it was not found until toward evening, when an inquest was held over it by Coroner Miller. Jfe was an in telligent lad, and his sudden death created much feeling and sympathy for his be reaved parents and friends. danger of using fire arms with in the borough limits was exemplified on Saturday evening by a shot glancing and Doing a bole through Miss Libbic McKw i-n's ear while sitting on the steps at her lather's house in Third street. The gun had been discharged at some cats which had been annoying a chicken yard a shoit ■distance off. i'LHK IN TILK MOINT.MNS! —Sparks Vrcui a locomotive fired some wood lying near Bixler's gup on Wednesday last, and uttle or no attention having been paid to it, it soon communicated the flames to the leaves and dead wood near by, and by evening had spread over a considerable portion of the mountain. It continued to burn on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, ianned by a high wind, at which time it bad crossed the first mountain, extending east as far as the dam and westward to Granville (lap—destroying large quantities "f timber over that space, together with about fifteen cords of bark, the latter the property of Joel Devault. On Sunday the tire raged iuriously in the ravines of the main mountain on the right of the river the Narrows, and towards evening had worked its way into (Jen. Burns' timber. 1 lie mountains were also burning in the neighborhood of Blaek Log Station, close to the railroad, in several instances ren dering the passage of the cars through the smoke most annoying. These fires have of late years become a serious matter along the railroad, and we should not be surprised to hear of suits a e a 'iJSt the company for damages sustained, their spread could readily be prevented if attended to in time. SWk-The bedy of Peter Printz, Jr., who >r as drowned at Paducab, Ky., sometime a g° ; was recovered 45 miles below that place, and taken in charge by his brother. his appearance it is now believed ua t he was struck on the head by a wheel one of the steamboats in the river, when r ' fe ffeQ t out in the boat, and probably kill- on the spot. A valuable gold watch Wa - S still in his pocket when found. If possible, it is intended to bring his remains - this place for interment. INTERESTING TO DEBTORS AND CREI>- - - ORS. Judge Woodward, of the Supreme of this State, sometime ago pro duced a decision declaring that the td y iaw of Pennsylvania, passed in May, is unconstitutional, mainly for the '"son that it makes the right of a judge '"• creditor to have executed against his 0 --T independent of the agreement of a ""'ority 0 f the creditors whose demands exceed two-thirds of the debtor's entire indebtedness, and imposes no limit to the ttay which the majority of the creditors may agree to. No'diseretion is lefr t,. the court, and the creditors aforesaid amy ex tend the stay law indefinitely. ScnooL REGULATIONS. —An " Act for the regulation and continuance of a sys tem of education by commou schools,"' passed by our last Legislature, and approv ed by the Governor, provides that the word month, in all future agreements with teachers, shall mean tvcenty-tico davs, of which twenty, exclusive of Saturdays, are to be devoted to the instruction of pupils in the schools, and two Saturdays, to be designated by the board, to the improve ment of the teachers, by means of the Dis trict Institute, or other appropriate exer cises. It makes it obligatory, on both the board and teachers, to observe these Satur day exercises or institutes. The "Democrat" and Slavery. Mr. Editor— The taste that controls the selections of articles of a political character for the True Democrat, is of a kind that ad mits of no dispute. If a deadly assault upon the Administration, or a base slander against nny prominent Republican, or a cowardly fling at Abolitionists, can be found in any of its exchanges, the Democrat is sure to repro duce it with manifest delight. Among its gems of last week's selection was the following diamond: ll there had been no slavery, there could have been no abolitionism ; cause pre cedes effect.— LOGlC. '1 rue, it there had been BO slavery, there could have been no abolitionism; and if there had been no property there could have been no robbory ; and if there had been no houses there could have been no arson; and if there had been no marriages, there could have been no adultery ; and if there had been no people there could have been no murder.— Clinton Democrat " Thus it seems that the two Democrats— Clinton and Lewistown—put zeal for human rights, urged only by argument and appeal to the consciences of American Christians, on a common footing with robbery, arson, adul tery and murder; while Slavery—which is based on the utter denial of all genuine de mocracy and Christianity, which is the boldest form of practical atheism under the sun— slavery possesses a sanctity which can hardly be claimed for any other human relation or social arrangement! Is it possible that any man or woman of intelligence should believe such impious false hoods, or he misled by such shallow and ma lignant nonsense ? I 3 it possible that any honest, conscientious democrat can fail to de tect the wickedness of that spirit which calls evil good, and good evil? The universal heart and conßcicr.ee of humanity instinctively con damn Slavery as a crime of the greatest mag nitude and a sin of the bla -kest dye. It is too late to try to make people believe it is night, alter the sun has fully risen. IILMAXITAS. Died. In Belleville, <TI the Ist inst., Mrs. ARIET TA M. XELSOX. wife of C. \V.

Ilulleck's forces arc in so close prox imit y to the rebels that news of a fight tnav he expected at any moment. Our advance : pickets now occupy the ground iately held : by the rebels. Gen. Hallcck has gone on i a reconnoitring expedition, and had not re- J turned at the date of our last despatch.— The Provost Marshall of Corinth had com menced to burn all the cotton and sugar in that vicinity. Gen. Beauregard has is sued a proclamation, ordering all the troops ; in the Mississippi valley to the defence of ; Corinth, and that all ot the cotton, sugar, 1 and molasses in said valley he destroyed. The long expected naval engagement |on the Mississippi has taken place, and ■ resulted in adding another link to the chain of splendid victories for our Western flo j tilla. The rebel fleet, under the command of Commodore Hollins, consisting of eight iron-clad vessels, four of which were arm ed with rams, made an attack on our flo tilla on Saturday. Our fleet consisted of six vessels, under command of Capt. Davis, acting commodore in the absence of Flag officer Foot. The engagement lasted one hour, and the rebels were driven back un der the guns of Fort Wright, with the loss of two boats blown up and one sunk. None of our gunboats were sunk. The bombardment of Fort Wright still slowly continues. From certain movements of the rebels, it is believed they arc slow ly evacuating the place. Commodore Foole has left the fleet, and is now en route North it is supposed for the purpose of obtaining medical treatment for his injuries. Capt. Davis, late fleet Capt. of Com. Pupont, is now in command of the fleet. Gov. Johnson, of Tennessee, has Issued a proclamation to the effect that, for every Union man captured or ill treated by the rebel bands of marauders, five prominent rebels shall be made to suffer, and that am ple remuneration sliull be made to all loy alists who may be despoiled of their pro perty, out of the property of such parties as have given aid and comfort to the ene my. PITTSBURG TE.VN., May 11. The following dispatch has just been re ceiyed at the headquarters of the army of the Mississippi: NEAR FARMINGTO.V, May 9.—Maj. Gen. Hal leek. The enemy 20,000 strong drove in our pickets beyond Farmingtjn, and advanced against the brigade, occupying the farther side of the creek in front of my camp. The brigade held on lor live hours, until it was heavily pressed in front and on the flank, and as I could not sustain them without passing the creek with my whole force, which was contrary to your orders, and would have brought on a general engagement, 1 withdrew to this side in good order. The conduct of the troops was excellent, and the withdrawal was made by them very reluctantly. The enemy made a demonstra tion to cross hut abandoned the movement. Our loss was considerable, though ] cannot tell how great. The enemy being much exposed suffered severely, one of his batteries being complete ly disabled and his infantry line driven hack several times. My command is eager for the advance. JOHN* POPE, Major General. Farmington is live miles north west ol Corinth.
