WAR MEETING. —A largo number of
our citizens assembled in the Town Hall
on Monday evening for the purpose of
adopting measures to raise one or more
companies of volunteers, Judge Wilson in
the chair. Messrs. McMurray and Gayer
made patriotic addresses, in which they
pointed out the evils likely to result in the
partisan feelings manifested by so many
persons against the Government, who were
thus instrumental in producing the apathy
aud indifference so prevalent at a time
when the hearts of all ought to be engag
ed to strengthen its efforts to put down
this infamous rebellion. Jno. A. Wright
and Geo. W. Elder, Esq. also addressed
the meeting, when a subscription was
opened and about §I3OO subscribed for
the purpose of paying §lO to each recruit.
The committee, consisting of Geo. W.
Elder, Chairman, I). W. Woods, Treasu
rer, 11. J. Walters, Secretary, James Burns
and Samuel Comfort, appeal to all patriotic
citizens in the county to subscribe funds
for the purpose of paying at least §lO to
each volunteer who may enlist under 11.
W. l'atton or Jos. S. Waream, who are now
recruiting for the service.
®-y"~Considerable curiosity was excited
on Monday morning by a lied, White and
blue Signal put up through town. No
body seemed to know what it meant.
The wife of llenry Kemcrling we learn
fell from a cherry tree last week, injuring
herself considerably.
Mrs. Murray, of the Lewistown Hotel,
who had a severe fall a few weeks ago by
the upsetting cf a chair on which she was
standing, is recovering.
The clothes' line of Lewis Wislcr was
robbed one night last week.
A NEW ENEMY TO FARMERS. —The
disappearance of the grain wevil in this
section has been followed by a small brown
ish red insect which is now visible on oats
by thousands, in some instances covering
the stalk below the grains for two or three
inches, and imparting a strange appearance
to the fields. There is no doubt entire
crops are now being rapidly destroyed by
this successor to the late pest, and as we
perceive it has also appeared in York and
other counties, it wiii probably render the
cultivation ot oats for some years a risky
■crop. We have often thought that farmers
ought to pay more attention to the appear
ance of destructive insects, and make ex
periments to destroy them. For instance,
.the use of a few bushels of salt, sown
'oroakcast on an acre of ground, would do
much towards relieving the soil of destruc
tive insects, as most of them are no doubt
hatched in it, and would besides do no
harm to the laud.
OUR SOLDIERS. —Captain Maeiay re
turned to Milroy on Monday last, consider
ably debilitated in health. David Kenne
dy, of the Logan Guards, is reported very
ill with typhoid fever. Daniel lllett, of
this place, a member of the Ducktails, was
seen alive at the close of the which
that regiment suffered so terribly, and is
probably a prisoner. Surgeon Woodhull,
oi New Jersey, who has been actively en
gaged before Richmond, .is bow oil a visit
to his mother, (the widow of Wni. McCay,
Esq., deceased,) who has been quite ill for
some weeks.

No Smnpl ASTEßß — Postage Stamps a
U'jal Tender. —On Thursday Congress
passed a bill prohibiting notes of a less de
nomination than one dollar, from whatever
;u rce, from being circulated, under a pen
alty of five hundred dollars fine or six
months' imprisonment. Instead of shin
plasters a bill has passed both Houses, to
effect on the Ist of August, making
United States postage 6tamps a national
currency, to pay for any amount under five
dollars. The stamps are to be redeemed in
cited States notes, and thus obviate all
pretence for the issue of small notes of any
kind.

WAR N_E W S .
General Pope, in a despatch to the War
Department announces the complete suc
cess of a cavalry expedition sent out from
1 redencksburg on Saturday last. The
lorce made a descent upon the Virginia
Central Railroad at Beaver Dam, thirty-five
miles from Richmond, destioyed the rail
road track and telegraph for several miles,
and burned up the depot, which contained
forty thousand rounds of musket ammuni
tion, one hundred barrels of flour, and much
other valnable property. The expedition
occasioned the most intense alarm in the
country through which it passed. The
cavalry marched eighty miles in thirty
hours, and accomplished their purpose with
only one man wounded. General Sigel's
Division is atSperrysville, near the entrance
to the Loray Valley, where his pickets
have frequent encounters with the Rebel
scouts. By consulting the mapit will besecn
that the position of General Pope's forces
from H arrenton to Gordonsville is such as
to hold the entrance to the Shenandoah
V alley, and to preclude any more raids
from Jackson in that direction. Thestrat
egetic value of the line now held is so man
ifest and important that the wonder is it
has not before been taken.
I rom Cairo we get the true account of
the running of the Rebel ram Arkansas
down to Vicksburg, and find as we antici
pated that the story of the great damage
inflicted upon our fleet was a monstrous ex
aggeration. Two of our gunboats, the
Carondelet and Tyler first encountered the
Arkansas up the Vazoo river. In the fight
the Carondelet grappled with the Arkansas
and both grounded. The Arkansas got off
whilst the Carondelet remaiued fast for
over an hour. The Tyler, one of the least
formidable of our gunboats mantained a
running fight with the Arkansas until she
reaehed our fleet above Vicksburg. None
of the fleet had steam up, and were so scat
tered that but few could bring their guns
to bear on the Rebel boat. Those that
could opened their broadsides on her, and
no doubt did considerable damage, though
not sufficient to prevent her from reaching
\ icksburg. The entire Federal loss was
twelve killed and filteen wounded. None !
of our gunboats were either sunk, blown
up, or burned.
Governor Morgan, on behalf of the State of
New York, assumes the responsiblity of pro
claiming a bounty of §SO for each new recruit
under the recent call for troops. He does
this to save the time and expense of a special
Bession of the Legislature, trusting that that
body will indorse his action.
The Petersburg (Va.) Express, announces
that Hamilton, X. C., has been sheltered by
our gunboats, and considers it probable that
an attempt will be made to reach Weldon by
the Roanoke river, as that stream is now
high. Hamilton is situated about midway
between Weldon and the confluence of the
Roanoke river with the Albemarle sound.
The liebei Gen. Lee, in his congratulatory
orders to the Rebel army, published there,
claims as the immediate result of the series
of battles before Richmond the relief of the
city from a state of siege,many thousand prison
ers, including officers of high rank, and the
capture and destruction of thousands of arms
and fifty one pieces of artillery.
Win. 11. Aspinwall, Esq, of New York,
has given a striking example of disinterested
patriotism to greedy contractors and specula
tors who are thriving oT of the needs and ex
igencies of the Government. As the agent of
the War Department in purchasing arms
abroad at a stipulated price he recei-ed a
profit of $25,290. The whole of this sum he
has returned to the Government, declining to
receive any remuneration or to accept any
profit from the operation. The Secretary of
War has appropriately acknowledged the re
ceipt of the money aud the patriotic spirit
which induced its return.
The Nashville Union states that a company
of guerrillas, ninety in number, were busily
engaged in drilling in an old field between
Gallatin and Ilartsville, on Thursday, July
10, and otherwise preparing themselves for
the work of murder and highway robbery, as
taught in the code of Ferguson and Morgan,
when several companies of Gol. Boone's regi
ment pounced upon them and captured the
whole gang. They were taken to Nashville
on Friday.
The report of the safe arrival of General
Curtis' army at Helena, Ark , is confirmed.
The force left Batesville June 24, reached
Jacksonport on the 26th, arid on the 2d of
July started across the country. On the 4th
the 13th Illinois regiment, while coming down
White River, weie fired upon by guerillas,
whom they easily routed. On the 7th Gen.
Curtis' advance was attacked by two regi
ments of Texas cavalry and a large force of
infantry, but the latter were soon put to
flight, and lost a number of prisoners and
over one hundred killed. Our loss was eight
killed and thirty two wounded. When our
army arrived at Helena they had but three
days' supplies.
The Assassination of Union men in Vir
yinia.—A single correspondent mentions in
a letter to a New York paper seven cases of
murder of Unien men in the vicinity of Front
Royal, Virginia. John F. llaynes, aged 62,
and a Mr. Bealer, Union residents of Page
county, were assassinated during the present
month for no crime save loyalty. Their bod
ies have been left unburied for a week. Ab
salom Clem, a Union farmer near the Luray
Valley, was killed on his own property by a
company of rebel tropps. His remains,
pierced with six bullets, were found soon af
ter. An individual Darned Ridenour was
murdered for going to Woodstock to buy salt,
the rebels accusing him of communicating
with the Yankees, and dragging him to a
place of execution from the bosom of bis
family. In ODO county seven such cases of
the murder of non-combatants have beea no
ted during the month of July. Openly the
rebel commanders do not countenance such
fiendish atrocities, but they allow them to con
tinue unrebuked. In some instances the
perpetrators of these bloody deeds were near
neighbors of the victims, and in no case were
the sufferers soldiers in the Union anny.
Gen. Pope has issued the following or
der, which looks like war:
Headquarters Army of Virginia, )
WASHINGTON, July 18, 1862. j
General Orders No. 7.
The people of the Valley ol the Shenan
doah and throughout the region of railroad
and telegraph, and along the route of travel
re ar of the United States forces, are noti
fied that they will be held responsible for
any injury done to the track, line or road, or
For any attacks upon trains or straggling sol
diers by bands of guerillas iu their neighbor
hood.
No privileges nor immunities of war can
apply to lawless bands of individuals not for
ming part cf the oiganized forces of the ene
my, nor wearing the garb of soldiers, who.
seeking and obtaining safety on pretext of
being peaceful citizens, steal out in the rear
of the army, attack and murder straggling
soldiers, molest trains of supplies, destrov
railroads, telegraph lines and bridges, and
commit outrages disgraceful to civilized peo<
pie and revolting to humanity. Evil dispos
ed persons, in rear of our armies, who do not
themselves engage directly in these lawless
acts, encourage them by refusing to interfere
or to give any information bv which such acts
can be prevented, or the perpetrators punish
ed. Safety of life and property of all per
sons living in the rear of our advancing ar
mies depends upon the maintenance of peace
and quiet among themselves, and upon the
unmolested movements through their midst
of all pertaining to the n ilitary service
They are to understand distinctly that this
security of travel is their only warrant of per
sonal safety,
It is therefore ordered that whenever a rail
road, wagon road or telegraph is injured by
parties of guerillas, the citizens living within
five miles of the spot shall be turned out in
mass to repair the damage, and shall, beside
pay to the United States in money or in prop
erty, to be levied by military force, the full
amount of the pay and subsistence of the
whole force necessary to coerce the perform"
ance of the work during the time occupied in
completing it.
If a soldier or legitimate follower of the ar
my be fired upou from any house, the house
shall be razed to the ground, and the inhabi
tants sent prisoners to the headquarters of
this army. If such an outrage occur at any
place distant from settlements, the people
within five miles around shall be held ac
countable and pay an indemnity sufficient for
the case.
Auy persons detected in such outrages,
either during the act or at any time after
ward, shall be shot without awaiting civil
process.
No such acts can influence the result of this
war, and they can only lead t heavy afllic
tion to the population to no purpose.
It is therefore enjoined upon all persons,
both for the security of their property and
the safety of their own persons, that they act
vigorously and cordially together to prevent
the perpetration of such outrages.
Whilst it is the wish of the Genera! com
manding this army that all peaceably dispo
sed persons who remain at their homes and
pursue their accustomed avocations shall be
subjected to no improper burthen of war, yet
their own safety must, of necessity, depend
upon the strict preservation of peace and
order among themselves ; and they are to
understand that nothing will deter him from
enforcing, promptly and to the full extent,
every provision of this order.
By command of Major General Pope.

WASHINGTON, July 18.—The following is
an extract from a recent despatch received at
the War Department from Gen. Saxton, da
ted—
" BEAUFORT, S. C.. July 10.
" To Hon. E- M. Stanton, Secretary of War:
" Sik—i have the honor to report that ev
erything pertaining to the special service for
which I aui sent to this department is in a
favorable condition. The negroes are work
ing industriously. We have some fifteen
thousand acres of corn and cotton uuder cul
tivation, and it looks well. The system of
voluntary labor works admirably. The peo
ple are contented and happy. When the
new crop is harvested they will cease to be a
burden upon the Government. By adopting
a judicious system of reward for labor al
most any amount can be obtained. Its pro
ceeds will pay the expense.
" I am, with great respect, yours truly,
" R. SAXTON,
" Brigadier General of Volunteers."
Medicines that Cure. —One of the special
peculiarities of Dr. Ayer's preparations is,
that they accomplish what is promised for
them. Who, in this community, does not
know that of all the cough remedies the Cher
ry Pectoral is far the best? Who that ever
uses pills but will tell you Ayer's Pills are at
once the mildest and most searching, most
effectual of all? Did anybody ever hear of
his Ague Cure failing in a single case? Not
an instance has been found where Fever and
Ague has resisted the faithful trial of it. This
may seem a bold assertion, bat are assured it 's
true. And still more important are the ef
fects of his alterative called Extract of Sar
saparilla. One after another patieuts cotne
forth from their leprosy, cleaned, purified into
health, by this witchery of medico-chemical
skill. Saturated with the accumulated rot
tenuess of years, and poisoned by the cor
ruption of their cwn blood, they could on'y
live to suffer. This master combination,
purging out the foul impurities, has instilled
the vigor of health, and restored them to en
joyment and life again. If these are truths,
and they are, should not our readers know it?

portance to them?— Courie r, Princeton, Ky.

orator In the market,
IS THE
PLCR.AL HAIE, IONIC,
PREPARED by the Philadelphia Eclectic
Company. In cases of baldness, whero
the roots are not absolutely dead, it is sure to
bring forth a beautiful crop of hair in from,
six to twelve weeks, and no remedy in the
world can do more. When the hair is inclinr
ed to turn gray, or fall out, this tonic will
speedily restore it to vigor and preservo its
original color; at the same time remove all
dandruff, scurf, &c., and keep the head de
lightfully cool. It is a purely vegetable pre
paration, RICHLY PERFUMED, eminently healthy
to the scalp, (which can be said of very few
hair stuffs offered) and most delightful in ef
fect. Price 25 cents.
