things hoped for—whoso assets consist
of relatives, credit or generosity—to
note the substauce of a bill now before
the Legislature, which provides that
''all persons who may leave their homes
or enrollment districts for the purpose
of avoiding military service, or who
may conceal themselves or refuse to
report after having been notified of
their being drafted, shall be deprived
of their citizenship within the Com
monwealth, and shall be incapable of
inheriting any estates under the intes
tate laws of the Commonwealth, or
by contract acquiring, possessing or
disposing of any real or personal es
tate within the same."

forced against the skunks.

Dispatches received at Washington state
that on the 24th the rebel fleet of five ves
sels (the Kichmood squadron) came down
the river to destroy our depots aud works
at City Point. The high water of the
curreut freshet enabled them to pass the
obstructions, which our commander had
placed above City Point for the better pro
tection of the place. A battle quickly en
sued between the rebel fleet and our nearest
battery or fort, in which one of the rebel
vessels was blown up aud instantly entire
ly destroyed; the others returned to Rich
mond.
Ths rebels were treated to a piece cf
Northern ingenuity on the 25th, which the
sufferers doubtless stigmatize as a "mean
Yankee trick." With a view cf relieving
the tedium of their life in the mud and
rain, some of the pickets of the 2d Corps
procu"ed a few fat cattle, as the most
tempting baits which they could offer to
Southern appetites, and, placing them upon
the outer line, hid themselves in ambush
and waited patiently the result. As was
anticipated, no sooner were the beeves
heard to low than the rebel pickets, crouch
ing in the underbrush, stole cautiosly to
wards them. They were getting along
very successfully, they thought, and had
almost reached the objects of their hopes,
when, to their dismay, they heard a laugh
and a "hurray" in their rear, and turned to
find themselves cut off from the main bo
dy of their army, and prisoners. About a
hundred of these seekers after beef were
thus made game of and captured by this
adroit manoeuver.
Destruction of the Smithsonian Insti- j
tute by Fire.
On the afternoon of the 24th ult, a fire
broke out in the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington which nearly des'royed that
noble edifice. The tire originated in the
loft above the picture gallery, between the
ceiling and the roof, caused, it is beleived,
by a defective flue. The ceiling soon fell
in and in a few moments the gallery, was
one sheet of flame. The fire, as it mount
ed the central tower and burst forth in full
volume from the main roof was magnifi
cently grand, and a curious spectacle was
presented by the steadiness of the revolu
tions of the anometer or wind register,
surmounting the tower, while the fierce
flame was ravenously mounting to its de
struction.
The windows of the picture gallery soon
burst out, disclosing only the shell of the
room. There were some two hundred of
Stanley's pictures here. He had negotiated
for their sale to the Michigan University.
Only five or six of them were saved. The
loss is very serious, including the lecture
room, the philosophical instrument apart
ment and most of the valuable instruments.
The offices in the towers and the originals
of the private records and archieves of the
institution were destroyed. The top of the
principal tower and several cf the battle
ments fell.
The conflagration was nearly altogether
confined to the main building aud above
first story, the latter containing the museum,
which was damaged more by water than by
fire. The wings and corridors were Dot
much injured. The large library in the
west wing was not damaged. The furni
turc of Prof. Henry and other property
was injured by hasty removal. The full
extent of the loss is not ascertained. A
strong military guard was in attendance.
Great difficulty was experienced at first in
getting water. At no time could all the
steam fire engines have full play upon the
flames, and it was late in the eveniug be
fore they were under full control.
Remarkable Explosion of an Oil Well.
—As a Mr. Jacob Crowe, of George's
Creek, layette county, was engaged, re
cently, in boring for oil on his farm, the
augur struck on a deposit, which began at
once to rush upward with irresistable force,
flowing over the ground and saturating ev
erything in the vicinity. A stream of hy
drogen gas accompanied the oil, making a
loud noise and Ailing the atmosphere. Fi
nally, coming in contact with a stove in a
shanty a little distance off, a terrible ex
plosion ensued, but iortunately no one was
injured. The flames darted into the air
sixty teet high, threatening a general de
struction. It soon gave in however and
the men succeeded in extinguishing it be
fore any damage was done. For some
time the most lively alarm prevailed, and
it is sale to predict that the engineers bor
ing on George's Creek for oil will take the
precaution in future to put out all the fires
in the neighborhood while at work.

far refused to comply, further than to

ought to open the eyes of honest dem

of their leaders.

W*i."A Subscriber," and perhaps well
wishing friend, writes us to inquire "why we
advertise patent medicines." We will here
aod now answer him that we do not. Our
readers are aware that we have for years ex
cluded everything of the sort, and the only
seeming exception that we know is the ad
vertisement of Dr. J. C. Ayer t Co.'s reme
dies, which now stands in our columns. If
our friend does not know we will inform him
that these are not "patent" or even secret
medicines. Their composition has been as
publicly known as any other scientific fact,
and has moreover had the approval of the
highest medical authority in the land. But
what affords us perhaps still greater confi
dence in their worth is our personal knowl
edge of the man who makes them and the
results that have followed from their use; re
suits as familiar to our readers and to the
whole community as they are to ourselves,
It has been our privilege to know Dr. Ayer
ever since he graduated from the Penn Uni
versity in the same class with one of our per
sonal friends, nor have we ever ceased to
watch with interest his singular success in
and untiring devotion to the noble profession
he has chosen. If anybody will tell us what
we can advertise of more interest to our pa
trons than remedies that will cure them when
they are sick, we shall cheerfully give it the
benefit of our circulation.— Tamarora (111 )

Peac; or War, that's the Question! —
There are thousands, aye, tens of thousands,
of persons in our land* who are desirous of
having peace, but they are so afflicted with
the various diseases to which flesh is heir to,
that there is an incessant war going on with
in on account of the impure state of their
blood, that they have no peace day or night.
Their earnest inquiry is, "Is there no balm
in Gilead—no physician there?" Yes, yes 1
