LOCAL AFFAIRS.
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.

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.

<sen. Ilulleck's forces arc in so close prox

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

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

medical treatment for his injuries. Capt.
Davis, late fleet Capt. of Com. Pupont, is
now in command of the fleet.

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. The only forces engaged in the
conflict referred to in the above despatch, on
the federal side, were Piumuier's and Cole
man's brigades.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER, J
May 10, via Cairo, May 11. J j
Hon. Gideon Welles, Secy, of the Navy:
The naval engagement, for which the rebels j
i have been preparing, took place this morning: j
The rebel fleet, consisting of eight ironclad
| gunboats, four of which were fitted up with
rams, came up handsomely. The action last
ed one hour. Two of the rebel gunboats were
i blown up, and one sunk, when the enemy re- j
tired precipitately under the guns of the fort.
Only six vessels of mv squadron were en
gaged. The Cincinnati sustained some injury
from the rams, but will be in fightiog condi
tion to-morrow.
Capt. Stempble distinguished himself. He
is seriously wounded. The Benton is unin- 1
jured. Mortar boat No. 16, in charge of sec- j
ond master Gregory, behaved with greatspirit.
: The rebel squadron is supposed to be com
manded by Comtnodoie Ilollins.
