AGENTS FOE THE INTELLIGENCES.
In the present condition of the country
it is Impossible for us to attempt to conduct
a ne*spitper enterprise on the old system.
We are compelled to pay die Cash for every
article we use, and material whiclVas al
ready advanced enormously in price is still
going up rapidly: We haye not advanced
the price of the Weekly Intelligencer,
' though' it is greatly enlarged at no little ex
pense. Our terms will be, as published,
Two Do llars a year, invariably in advance.
To enable all the present subscribers to the
Intelligencer to renew their subscriptions
promptly we have concluded to appoint
agents in each township, to whom money
can be paid, and by whom receipts will be
given. All who cannot findtit convenient
to call at our office will please call on the
agerit in their district. Four issues of the
Weekly will be sent to each one of the
present subscribers, and by that time we
expect to have a full return from all our
agents. If it should so happen that any of
the present subscribers fail to hand in their
flumes to us, or our agents, by this time,
they will be considered as not desiring to
continue their subscriptions, and will be
dropped from our list. We hope all will
feel it to be to their interest to comply at
once with our terms, and that no names
will have to be omitted. The present is the
best possible time for those who have not
been taking the paper to subscribe, and,
from the interest we have already seen .
manifested, we shall he able to increase our
subscription list very greatly. No family
can afford to be without at least one good
newspaper. Now is the time for our nu
merous friends to interest themselves in our
behalf: Subscribe for the paper yourself,
and urge your neighbors to do likewise.—
The following gentlemen have been ap
pointed agents, any one of whom is fully

DEATH OF GENERAL DANIEL MCCOOK.
—The announcement of the death of Brig
adier General McCook is one of the most
painful tasks that we have been called upon
to perform. He died at the residence of his
brother, Colonel George W. 'McCook, in
Steuloauville, Ohio, at 2 o'clock P. M., Sat
urday last. It will be remembered that he
was shot through, just below the right shoul
der, In the assault upon Kenesaw Moun
tain, on the 27th of June. When the terri
ble nature of the wound is considered, the
wonder is, not that he is dead, but that he
liVed so long, travelled so far, and was so
hopeful of recovery. It was, we understand.
the opinion of General Thomas, that if it
had not been for the fall of McCook and
Harker, in the very crisis of the engagement,
the assault on Kenesaw would have suc
ceeded. General McCook was, in the sum
mer of 1862, made Colonel of the 52t1 O. V.
1., and was, for two years, commander of
a brigade in the Army of the Cumberland,
distinguishing himself in all emergencies
as a cool, capable, and clashing officer, whose
tendency to rashness was tempered by good
judgment. Two days before his death he
was promoted to be a Brigadier General
"for gallant and distinguished services at
Kenesaw Mountain." He leaves a wife
and infant daughter. He is the fourth of
his family killed during the war.
It will be remembered by many of our
citizens that Col. Geo. W. McCook came
here as Paymaster of Ist and 2d Ohlo Regi
ments, which were encamped in this city
for some weeks just after the war broke
out. Major General Alex, MeD. McCook
was elected Colonel of the Ist Ohio, while
it lay here. He has since been promoted to
the position he now holds for gallant con
duct in the field.
cIIRE FOR DYSENTERY.—A4I eminent
phYsician communicates the following sim
ple remedy, long known in the medical
practice. It was recently tried in the camp
of a regiment where there were from eighty
to one hundred cases daily, and with rapid
cures in every instance;
Recipe,—ln a teacup half full of vinegar,
dissolve as much sail as it will take up,
leaving a little excess of salt at the bottom
of the cup. Pour boiling water upon the
solution till the cup is two-thirds or three
'quarters full. A scum will rise to the sur
lace, which must be removed and the solu
tion allowed to cool.
Dose. -- Tablespoonful three times a day
till relieved. Tne rationale of the operation
of this simple medicine will readily occur
to the patnologist, and in many hundred
trials I nave never know to fail ia dysen
tery and diarrhea.
SCHOOL FOR DESTITUTE ORPHAN .CHIL-
DREN OF DECEASED PENNSYLVANIA SOL
DIERS AND SAILORS.—It will be recollected
that some months ago the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company donated, to the State,
the sum Of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS for
the education and maintentuaceof Destitute
Orphan children of Deoeased Pennsylvania
Soldiers, which sum the Legislature author
ized the Gov.ernor to accept, and appropri
ate the same in a manner best calculated to
accomplish the object designed by said do
nation.
To carry out the object contemplated, Gov.
CURTIN appointed the Hon. THOB. H. BUR
HOWES, of this city, to prepare a plan and
superintend the expenditure of the money.
Mr. BIIItIIONVES accepted the commission
and submitted his plan for carrying into
effect the trust, which has been approved
by the Governor. The following are its
provisions
I. Of the persons entitled
,to the benefit
of the Act:
These will be, children of either sex un
der the age of fifteen, resident in Pennsyl
vania at the time of the application, and
dependent upon either public or private
charity for support, or on the exertions of a
mother or other person destitute of means
to afford proper education and mainte
nance; of fathers who have been killed, or
died of wounds received, or of disease con
tracted, in the service of the United States,
whether in volunteer or militia regiments of
this State, or in the regular Army or the
Naval service of the United States, but who
wore at the time of entering such service,
actual bona-tide residents of Pennsylvania.
11. Of acha i.s-sithe to the benefits of the :
This will he by application by the mother,
if living, or if not, by the guardian or next
friend, in the form prescril ea I by the Super
intendent of orphans, setting forth the
name, age, place of nativity and present
residence of the child, with the extent Of
destitution, the name of the father Mal of
his regiment or vessel, his rank and the
manner and time of his death, accompanied
by an afilauvit to the facts set forth; to be
presented to the Common School Directors
of the district in which the orphan resides,
for approval or disapproval according to
the facts of the case, and if disapproved, to
be returned with.a statement of the reasons
theretut but if approved m be so certified
by the President and Secretary and trans
mitted to the Superintending Committee of
the proper county, by whom it shall lie
transmitted to the Superintendent of Or
phans, with such suggestions and remarks
as shall enable him to make the proper dis
position of the rase; and when approved
by him, an order to be issued by him for
admission to such school as he shall desig
nate: Orphans under six years of age to
be placed in such nearest institution for the
more juvenile class as may be proper for,
and will admit them on terms to 1), arranged
by the Superintendent; and those above
that age to lie sent to the more advanced
schools hereafter described; but in both
cases regard to be had, as Mr as possible, to
the religious denomination or faith of their
parents.
111. Of the kind of Edurahon and .11-ain
tenanee
The Orphans will be clad in a neat, plain,
unilOrni dress, according to sex, and sup
plied with comfortable lodgings, 'a suffi
ciency of wholesome food, and proper at
tendance when sick. They will be physi
cally developed—the boys by military drill
or gymnastic training, according to age,
and thti girls by calisthenic and other suita
ble exercises; they will be habituated to in
dustry and the use of tools while at school,
by the various household and domestic pnr-
suits and mechanical and horticultural em
ployments suitable to the respective sexes;
they will receive a full course of intellectual
culture in the ordinary brunches of a use
ful English educalion— having especial ref
erence to fundamental principles and prac
tical results; and they will he carefully
trained to floral and religious principles—
the latter as nearly approached as nay be
to the known denominational preference of
the parents.
IV. of the schools To 1, 3 funnloycd under
the Act:
For the Orphans under six years of age
suitable institutions in any part of the State,
that will receive them on proper terms and
afford them fitting training and mainten
ance, will be employed, and they will be
placed therein till arrival at the age of six
years.
For the Orphans Over six years of 'age,
One school will be selected, when practicable,
in each of the twelve Normal School Dis
tricts, of sufficient capacity to accommodate
all the orphans of that age in the proper
district, and having, the necessary appli
ances to impart the physical, industrial, in
tellectual and moral training, necessary to
render them intelligent citizens and useful
members of society; but if one such insti
tution cannot be secured in each district, a
sufficient nut n ber of a smaller class will be
accepted—preterring, such as will admit the
largest number of Orphans and atibrd the
hest instruction and accommodations—the
compensation in each case to be such as shall
have been previously agreed on between the
Institution and the Superintendent, having
reference as well to a reasonable economy
its to a just remuneration for the services
rendered, and to be paid quarterly on the
rendition of full and sufficient accounts and
vouchers. Clothing, hooks and medical at
tendance to be supplied by the State or the
several institutions as the Superintendent
shall decide,; and all contracts for the edu
cation anti maintenance of Orphans to ter
minate for such causes and after such no
tice as shall be therein specified.
V. Of the control of the Orphans is the
schools:
The details of Education and Maintenance
will be in the hands of the Principal of each
school, subject to the regulations adopted
Icy the Superintending Committees. Each
school will keep a record of all applications
for apprentices or employees frinn amongst
its Orphan pupils; but 110110 shall be bound
or otherwise put out to any employment,
without Ids or her own application and that
of the parent, guardian or next friend, and
the concurrence of the Superintending l otn
mittee of the proper county. All contracts
of apprenticeship or for employment to be,
its soon as legal authority shall be obtained
therefor, between Suptirintendent and mas
ter or employer, and contain a reservation
of power to annul the contract in case of
failure on the part of the master or employer
_to fulfil all the st ipulations. And the Super
intendent will keep a record of the name,
toaster, trade, term and residence of each
apprentice or employee thus sent 1101
schools.
VI. Of the fund null . of , uutionul nude,
the art:
This is believed to he stittleutt to com
mence this humane, just and patriotic un
dertaking,, but the plan now recommended
cannot be kept long enough ill operati4m
produce any useful results, unless sufficient
additions be made to it by the public au
thorities or private liberality, or by agen
cies similar to that which made the first lib
eral donation. It is hoped that this will be
done and that the undertaking will be con
tinued till all our destitute Soldiers' Or
phans shall be placed in a condition to meet
the trials of life, on an equal footing with
the children of those for whom their fathers
died.
All accounts of the expenditure of the
fund will be settled by the Auditor General
in the usual manner.
VII. Of the Administration of the Trust
under the Act:
The School Directors seem to be the proper
hoard, first to receive and scrutinize the ap
plication for admission; representing as
they do every part,'&rthe distri., one mem
ber at least will he cognizant of the facts of
each case; and their action can take place
at their regular meeting without any addi
tional labor to themselves and to the great
convenience of the applicants.
The Superintending Committee of each
county will consist Of 3, 5 or 7, according to
circumstances, be composed of both sexes,
and be appointed with the approval of the
Governor. It will receive the application,
and transmit it with such remarks and ex
planations as may be useful, to the Super
intendent, and will also periodically visit
the school in its county or district contain
ing Soldiers' Orphans, and make report of
its condition and of such matters as may he
promotive of their welfare.
The Superintendent will perform the du
ties in this plan specified, as well as such
others as its full and successful operation
shall render necessary and proper. Espe
cially, he will visit the schools in which the
'Titans are placed, as often as consistent
with his other duties; and, as the business
of the trust will, except that of visitation,
be mainly transacted by written correspon
dence, no office need for the present, at
least, be established at Harrisburg. All
communications will therefore he addressed
to him at Lancaster.

The Earning of Goy. Letcher's Residence.
[From the Richmond Whig, July 16.]
We print below a document destined to
become historical. Tise calm, dispassionate
and truthful recital it gives of one of the
most wanton and barbaric acts of the war
needs no comment to awaken theindigx7:
don , of every mealy bosom. Our soldiers
in Maryland, who are reported to liaito laid
in ashes the residence of the'reakee Gover
nor of that State,' by way of retaliation have
given practical expression to the feeling of
our people, and anticipated the Judgment
of mankind and the verdict of history. It
is due to Governor Letcher to say that this
letter was written with no view to publica
tion, and in response to a private commu
nication addressed him by the Mayor of
this city. The passages omitted relate to
personal matters.
LEXINGTON, Va., July 5, 1864.
* * Finding the Yankees would
take the town on Saturday (11th), I left
home near midnight, Friday night, and
went to Big Island, in Bedford, where I re
mained to 'Wednesday morning following,
when, hearing the vandals had left, I re
turned. I had previously heard that my
house had been burned, with all its con
•tents. The threats made by the Yankees
against me, for the past two years, satisfied
me that they would destroy my house when
they came to Lexington; but I always sup
posed they would allow the furniture and
my himily's clothing to he removed. In
this, however, I was disappointed.
When the Yankees took possession of the
town, Dr. Paton, Medical Director for Hun
ter's army, who hails from Marion county,
Virginia, went to my house, told my wife
he was unwell, and said ho must have a
room in the house. He took the room, sup
ped and breakfasted, and, when breakfast
was nearly over, remarked, in a manner
half-jocularly, half-earnest, to Lizzie, that
it was the last meal she would take in the
house. Shortly after he left, without taking
leave of any of the family, nor was he again
seen by any of them.
The threats made by soldiers on Saturday
evening induced my wife to fear the house
would he burned, and she expressed her
fears in the hearing of Dr. Paton and Cap
tain Towns, of New York. Captain Towns
very promptly said, that I, being a private
citizen and the house being private proper
ty, burningit would be an inexcusable out
rage, and proposed at once to go to Hunter's
headquarters and ascertain. He went, and
was directed by hunter to assure my wife
that the house would not be disturbed. The
sequel shows that the sole object of this as
surance was to quiet her apprehensions,
and thus prevent anything from being re
moved. About half-past 8 o'clock A. M.
t Sunday), Captain Berry and his provost
guard rode np, and the officer called for my
wife. She came to the door, when Berry
informed har that ho was ordered by Hun
ter to tire the house. She replied there must
be some mistake, and asked for the order.
Ile said it was a verbal order. She then
said to him: "Can it not be delayed until I
can see General Hunter?" The order is
peremptory, ho replied, and you have five
ni MMus to leave the house. She then asked
leave to remove her mother's, sister's, her
own and her children's clothing, which was
insolently refused. Immediately thereafter
camphene was poured on the parlor floor
and ignited with a match. In the meantime,
my daughter had gathered up an armful of
clothing, and was going out when he dis
covered her, ran forward and fired the
clothing in her arms. He then poured cam-
Mame in the wardrobes, bureau drawers,
and ignited the clothing—taking out my
clothing, which he said he intended to take
North.
Every house on my lot was burned save
a small grannery over my ice house. Not a
particle of flour, meat, or anything edible
teas left, all having been carried off on Sat
urday.
My mother, now in her 78th year, lives on
the lot adjoining my own, having with her
one of her grandchildren and a servant. Af
ter my property had been fired, the liends
fired her stable, located about forty feet from
her house, with no other view than to burn
tier out also. The house caught twice, and
would have been consumed but for the un
tiring efforts of Captain Towns, who made
his men carry water and extinguish the
flames. The Captain behaved like a gen
tleman towards my own and my mother's
finally.
Generals Averill, Crook, Sullivan and
Duffee denounced the whole proceedings
as an outrage, in violation of all the prinei
"f waratro, and stated that
1 funter alone was responsible for those
atroei ties.
I feel grateful to you and other kind friends
in Richmond for their generous sympathy
and kind tender of a home. There are no
people on the earth who have been more
unilbrmly kind than the good people of your
city, and I assure you I appreciate their
kindness, as does also my family. Accept
our thanks for it. 3;•
So soon as I can visit Richmond I will do
so—perhaps this month.
I am truly, and in haste, your friend,
JOHN LETCHER.
EZI=LIMUMM
The Cincinnati thininerci«l ( a Republican
journal) of Ole 'lsth inst., contains the fol
lowing in reference to General Hunter's
campaign, which it says is "from a reliable
source : '
"One thing is sure—General Crook saved
the army, as much so as General Thomas
saved the army during the memorable con
test at Chickamauga. The loss of the entire
command will probably be seven hundred
killed, wounded and missing, one hundred
and fifty wagons, fifteen hundred 11,10 of
horses and mules, six pieces of artillery,
and eleven caissons—the two latter items
lost by sheer carelessness and gross neglect
of duty on the part of somebody.
General Hunter is not a Napoleon by any
means, while General Crook was the" King
Bee" of the expedition. We lost Lynch
burg by inexcusable delays, and could have
taken it easily forty-eight hours before we
got there ; and we might have been there
had we not remained at Lexington two
days. The Virginia Military Institute was
burned, with its valuable library, philoso
phical and chemical apparatus, relics, and
geological specimens; nothing was saved.
\ ‘'ashington College was sacked, and its tine
library destroyed, autograph letters of
Washingnal . S carried oli, etc. Mrs. Gover
nor Letcher's residence was destroyed by
tire, she only having ten minutes to get out,
and only saved what was contained in three
or four trunks and boxes. I saw this my
self. The Institute and Mrs. Letcher's res
idence were destroyed by order of General
Hunter.
The sacking of Washington College was
done without orders, but winked at by the
same official. The lady principal of the
college went to General H., informed of the
proceedings and asked for protection, ,which
was flatly refused. General Crook protested
against the destruction of private property,
but without avail. It was as great an Out
rage as the burning of the library at Wash
ington by the British in 1812. Were but
half the truth known in regard to this ex
pedition, it would damn some officers for
ever. Had it not been for General Crook
our retreat from Lynchburg would have
been a complete rout and terrible disaster.
As it was, his firmness, and the fact of Hun
ter giving him virtually the direction of ev
erything, and the unbounded confidence the
entire army had in Crook t for the men felt
that he was " bossing" the affair), saved
all, and prevented a stampede and general
demoralization. These are all facts which
every officer and soldier was cognizant of."
THE DRAFT.—We learn from good au
thority that the Adjutant General of Penn
sylvania, said, in the presence of several
persons in a public house in Harrisburg,
that f/ic last draft in Pennsylvania leas been
made. Whether it was said knowingly, in .
view of some negotiations of peace, or in a
spirit indicating forcible opposition to the
draft, we cannot say— Westchester Afro.-
ma jail.
ll' current rumor be true the Adjutant
General of Pennsylvania did make some
such declaration in a public house in this
city one day last week.—Harrisburg Patriot
Union.
The remark was publicly made in the
" Buehler House," at Harrisburg, and
the words used by Adjutant General
Russel were about these ; ' 4 The last
draft that can be enforced in Pennsylva
nia has been made."—[Ens. INTELLI
GENCER.]
INDIANA DEMOCRATIC CONXENTION
This Convention, held in Indianapolis
on the lah inst., nominated Joseph E.
McDonald for Governor, David Turpie
for Lieutenant Governor, and the bal
ance of the State ticket, including Judge
of the Supreme Court, for which the
present incumbents were nominated for
re-election.
Resolutions were passed by the Demo
cratic Convention denouncing arbitrary
arrests, the suspension of the writ of
habeas corpus, the suppression of news
papers and the general policy of the
National and State Governments;
favoring a speedy peace and the prompt
payment of the soldiers, and compli
menting the troops,
A resolution endorsing Vallandigham
and pledging the State to stand by him
to the last, amid much confusion, was
rejected, and a substitute was adopted
pledging the 'Democracy to "maintain
civil and personal liberty at all hazards.
Corms AND Cat - ans.—Sudden changes of
climate are sources of Pulmonary and
Bronchial Affections. Experience having
proved that simple remedies act speedily
and certainly when taken in the early stage
of disease, recourse should at once be had
to "Brown's Bronchial TragheA,"' or Tiozen
ges, let the Cold, Cough'or Irritation of the
Throat be everso slight, as by this precau
tion a more serious attack may be effect
tually . warded oif. Soldiers should. have
them, as they can be carried in the pocket
and taken as occendon regnixee,
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
Old Abe has split rails, the Union and his

The Cincinnati Cbsunercia/ calls the Fre

"That is to distinguish them from tho short,
kinky, woolly headed Iliscegemaing Lin

The Ti mes asks,
have seats in the House?" To which the
Rochester Zspresa, a leading Republican
journal, replies: "No, we have traveled far
enough on the road towards a Monarchy,
and it is time to put on the brakes."
The Louisville Journal says disregarding
the Constitution to save the republic is like
a man's disobeying the Bible to save his
soul.
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Traveler, a leading Lincoln organ,
.RVs:
The war will go on for a year or two
longer—certainly till the summer of 1885.
It is cowardly to cover up the truth—and
this is the truth."
The Kansas State Journal, published at
Lawrence, in the interest of the Carney
party, is out against the re-election of
Lincoln.
Ben. Butler has been made a life member
of the American tract society. It won't be
safe to allow him access to the tracts, while
waste paper brings a high price.
A charitably disposed cotemporary thinks
" it is no disparagement to Mr. Lincoln that
he was a rail splitter." Certainly not; the
folly is in his ever having undertaken to be
anything else.
An exchange thinks it a curious fact that
the California fifty dollar gold piece is the
only coin on this continent that is not round.
We don't know where he circulates, but
this v. - ay we can't find any coin round.
The Boston Journal, in a fit of heroics,
wants to know how far an invading army
of Confederates could march into Massachu
setts? That would depend upon the time

A FoUrth of July toast drank down East
was—" Lincoln and Butler—Beauty and the

The other day the N. Y. TribU?Le compared
the Chicago with the Baltimore platform,

into the full-blown abolitionism of the other.
That is precisely what, four years ago, the
Democrats predicted it would do.
I,ine'i;ln has issued - a proclamation for a
day of humiliation and prayer. He is about
to call for :300,000 for the army, 41. Grant
has changed his base of operations from the

what Howard, the proclamation forger, 11:11-
nounced, and for it he is now in Fort Latity
ette. All that he put in his proclamation
h;ts since been proven true.
Many well-disposed persons wonder why
Mr. Lincoln does not try to swap Butler off,
and try to get rid of such an incubus. The
reason is very plain. It is impossible to
and anything mean or worthless enough to
make a fair swap with him in the scale—the
" beast " has no parallel—nobody would
have 'filth on any terms.
A CAPITAL TOAST.—The following para
graph is floating about as a waif , in the
great sea of newspaper paragraphs. Who

volume-of serious truth in the sentiment
its few words convey:
"The United States—united, they are too
strong for the world to conquer—divided,
they are too weak to conquer each other."

Well, if the people will neither volunteer,

avoid it, why in the name of common sense
do the Abolition papers and orators call it
the people's war 7"
The garnered wealth of the nation, by
the census of 1860, was sixteen thousand
million dollars. If the war were to stop to
day, we should find that the national, state,
county and town debts would absorb one
entire half of the capital of the country
spent in the efforts to restore the Union. If
we fail, it is a mountain load of debt press
ing on every living man, and all that are to
be born for generations. It makes the con
dition of the laboring man awful to con
template.
Some Copperhead has started such "dis
loyal" questions as the following: After a
war of 64 years duration, Russia, with a
population of 75,000,000, has at last suc
ceeded in subjugating Circassia, with a
population of 400,000. If it takes 75,000,000
Russians 64 years to subjugate 400,000 Cir
cassians, how long will it take 20,000,000
Americans to subjugate 8,000,000 Ameri
cans?
In his late Philadelphia speech, Mr. Lin
coln said: "We are going thMugh with
our task, ea far as lam concerned, if it takes
us three years longer." But suppose the
country should get through with Mr. Lin
coln after the 4th of Mtirch? Then, instead
of his going through with the war, the' war
would go through him. It will do that,
however, whether the people allow him to
re-elect himself or not.
VERY SENSIBLE.-.A. Republican paper,
whose editor has not the fear of Lincoln be
fore his eyes, says he thinks it about time
to stop fighting for the negroes, and to begin
fighting for the preseriatiou of the country.
There are 8 great marl who have long en

In Mr. Lincoln's recent speech before the
"Union Leaguers" of Philadelphia, the
following passage occurs :
" If I shall discover that General Grant
may be greatly facilitated in the capture of
Richmond, by rapidly pouring to hini a
large number of men at the briefest notice,
will von go? [Cries of yes!] Will you
march with him? [Cries of yes, yes, Tes.J
Then I shall call upon you when it is
necessary." [Laughter andapplause, during
which the President retired from the
table.]
The following id an extract from the call

"Now, therefore, .1, Abraham Lincoln,
President of the United. States, do issue this
my call for Five liundred Thousand (500,-
000) Volunteers for the military service."
WWI! Wisela arn the "-Leaguers?"
MEI FEINENDEN AND THEILLIMS:
Mr. Fessenden has been -diligently at
work since his appointment as Secretary of
the Treasury, in efforts to multiply the
" sinews of war," through a loan to the
Government from the Banks. His efforts,
however, have proved abortive. The Banks
declined to come to his terms ; and he, dcnabt
less conceived it no part of the duty of a
great and powerful government to con
descend to accommodate its citizens, who
are mere holders of money klonging to the
Government Theßanks, however, seem to
incline to the opinion that while all the people
possess does belong to the government, it is
not perfectly clear that it has a =what
they have and hold; without a en
dorser" than has been offered by Mr. Fes
senden. The great principle with Bankers
is to loan without risk, posaible, and al
ways to refuse doubtful securities.
It appears that the Banks were ready to
loan the government fifty or seventy-five
millions of dollars, provided the money was
was left in the_ Banks to be checked out as
required for payment. Mr. Fessenden
would not consent to this; alleging, as it is
said, the law required government deposits
to be made in the National Banks. It will
he remembered that the State Banks sent a
committee to Washington to remonstrate
against this enactment. The State Banks
now very frankly say to the government
they have no objection to its depositing its
funds in the National Banks; but they pre
fer being the custodians of their own money.
" Confidence begets confidence," say the
money Kings, if you will not trust us, it is
ungenerous to expect us to trust you. Thus
the Secretary and the Bank Committee
separated.
The friends of the National Bank urge
Mr. Feaseuden to appeal to the people for a
loan of many millions, and in making
these appeaLs to the Secretary they use
menacing and threatening language, that
by the : sale of this loan the deposits of the
people will be drawn out of the State
Banks, and they will be reduced to the ne
cessity of circulating their own notes, upon
which there is a tax of three per cent.
The friends of the State Banks, with quite
as much warmth, urge the probability that
these Banks, which hold largo amounts of
government bonds, would become the
competitor of Mr. Fessenden, by disposing
of their bonds at a lower rate than the Sec
retary offers ; and as they are older, of
course they are considered preferable to new
bonds. The govermnent cannot afford to
sell its bonds below par, and hence the
Banks have the advantage, because govern
ment bonds that they hold are above Dar.
Thus the matter rests.
In the meantime it is said the Secretary is
preparing 7-30 Treasury notes, which he will
offer for sale, and also use them in the pay
ment of government liabilities, now due to
an enormous amount. These notes will not
be legal-tenders, but draw interest payable
semi-annually, and, therefore, it is said will
not increase the volume of currency so rapid
ly as would the re-issue of legal-tenders.
The re-issue of legal-tenders is objection
able, because a rise in the price of gold is
sure to follow, and as everything sympa
thizes with gold, increasing in nearly the
same ratio, and the goveinment being the
greastest purchaser, it becomes almost im
possible to conduct the war with the present
appropriations.
The great error of departing from a special
basis is now becoming apparent, Had Mr.
Chase not committed this error, a loan of
:5100,000,000 would buy three times the
quantity of all necessaries.
By this error the government is run in
debt beyond redemption. The burden,
however, rests upon the tax-payers and the
people. The " shoddy " contractors can
readily manage to pay their proportions.
Had the war been conducted on a specie
basis we would now be in debt about one or
two thousand millions instead of three or
four.—Delaware. Gazette.
FROM GEN. GRANT
There is nothing new from Gen. Grant's
Army. It is believed that Grant is mining
the enemy's works at Petersburg. Secre
tary Seward has been on a visit to the front.
Disaster in the Valley of Virginia
We have news of disaster in the Shenan
doah Valley: Gen. Averill has been de
feated by Early near Winchester, and com
pelled to retreat across the Potomac to
Williamsport, in Maryland. The Confed
erates have advanced up the Valley and oc
cupied Martinsburg. They are reported to
be in large force. They have cut the tele
graph wires above Harper's Ferry, and torn
up the track of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. The Federal troops are concen
trated at Harper's Ferry, under command
of General I hinter, who has forbidden tele
graph communication with that place.
About 11 o'clock on Sunday morning, the
rebel forces under Gens. Breckinridge and
Early attacked the Union forces under Gems.
Crook and Averill and Col. Mulligan, at or
near Winchester. There was also a portion
of Gen. Hunter's forces in the tight, but
Gen. Hunter was not present, being at
Harper's Ferry. The battle lasted during
the entire day, and when night closed in the
Union commanders, ascertaining that the
rebels had received large reinforcements,
retired towards Martinsburg and Harper's
Ferry. Yesterday morning they retired
from Martinsburg to Harper's Ferry, after
which the rebels occupied Martinsburg.
It is reported that Gen. Kelly and Col.
Mulligan were killed. Orders have been
sent to Frederick to remove the stores and
prepare for an evacuation of the town. In
Baltimore, the Leaguers have been advised
by t len. Wallace to hold themselves in read
iness for any emergency that may occur.—
A battle is reported to have taken place be
tween Harper's Ferry and Winchester, re
sulting in the repulse of Hunter, who last
several pieces of artillery and a large num
ber of men. Later accounts declare these
statements exaggerated, but a surgeon and
chaplain, who were with the army, say that
Hunter's defeat was a very serious -one.—
Only a remnant of his troops reached Har
per's Ferry.
THE ADVANCE ON ATLANTA
Desperate Battle on Friday Last.
CiNcisNATT, July 24.
The correspondent of the Uazette, under
date of Atlanta, (Georgia,) July 22, gives
full and highly interesting details of the
movements of Sherman's army since cross
ing the Chattahoochie river.
On the morning or the 18th, the whole line
advanced, McPherson taking position on
the extreme left, Schofield the left centre,
Howard the centre, Hooker the right centre
and Palmer the extreme right.
On the morning of the 19th, our advance
reached Peach Tree Creek, a stream run
ning four miles north or Atlanta, and after
consideralde skirmishing the enemy was
dislodged, and portions of Howard's corps
crossed, our left in the meantime swinging
around to the Atlanta and Augusta Rail
road, near Decatur, and tearing up several
miles of the track.
On the evening of the 19th, and the morn
ing of the 20th, Howard, Hooker and Pal
mer crossed with the balance of their corps,
forming in line of battle along the north
bank of the creek. At 3 P. M., the rebels
made a desperate and sudden assault on
Howard in great force. The attack soon
extended to Hooker's corps, the rebels ad
vancing three lines deep. A portion of our
lines first wavered before the terrible onset,
but were quickly rallied and stood firm as
a rock.
Upon this portion of our line was massed
over half of the entire rebel army, both par
ties fighting, for the first time in the cam
paign, in the open field, Before dark the
rebels were entirely defeated, having failed
to break our lines at any point, and retired
in disorder, leaving most of their dead and
two hundred wounded on the field. Our
loss will reach two thousand men, princi
pally from Hooker's corps. The rebel loss
in killed and wounded and missing exceeds
six thousand, including three brigadier
generals.
On the extreme left the Operations were
equally successful, McPherson driviog the
enemy several miles. Blair's division ad
vanced a mile and a half south of the Au
gusta road.
O,n the morning of the 21st the enemy
were driven, with much loss, to the works
immediately around Atlanta, and on the
22d they had withdrawn entirely from
Hooker's and Palmer's front, and at 2 P.
M. of that day portions of our army entered
the city.
Later and more reliable intelligence con
tradicts the report that we hold the city or
any .portion thereof. The summary of the
Age of Tuesday thus describes the situation
The situation of Atlanta is a peculiar one.
The country west and south of the city is
open and level; that on the northeast is
broken by a ridge, known as Stone Moun
tain, which rises abruptly from the plain.
The defenses of the city are very strong.
The fortifications mount formidable bat
teries, besides others of lesser calibre, com
manding all points of the compass. These
are fronted on the north by almost impene
trable abattis running around. It does not
appear that the works can be carried by a
direct assault. Gen. Sherman will probably
have to lay siege to them. Despatches from
Sherman's army, received yesterday, con
vey but little intelligence. They say that
Sherman maintained his Position, and that
there have been no reverses. The Federal
loss in the battle on Friday, is stated at three
thousand. The Confederates, as in all the
recent engagements, were the attacking
party. Two of the enemy's generals are
believed to have been killed. General
Rousseau's expedition has returned to Mari
etta, having accomplished the destruction
ofthe MOntgomery 'Railroad Another under
General Garrard, which left Decatur at the
same time, has also returned, after burning
the bridges and destroying the track of the
railroad at Covington, about forty miles
east of Atlanta. It is said that Garrard
captured two hundred prisoners. All tits
railroads leading from Atlanta arenow-eat.
POLITICAL PRIEEITO;
Washington. Irving, in his
_Knicker
bocker, makes the following remarks,
which are especially applicable to the
present time : "A cunning politician Is
often found skulking under the *deal
robes, with an outside all religion, and
an inside ail - political rancor. Things
spiritual and temporal are strangely
jumbled together, like poisons and anti
dotes on an apothecary's shelf; and in
stead of a devout sermon, the simple
church going folks have often apolitical
pamphlet thrust down their throats
labelled with a pious text from scrip
ture."
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS IN SCRIM

ABOUT SNAKES.
A Connecticut farmer has discovered n, a tt
his cows have been regularly milked by
black snakes, who took occasion to attach
themselves while the cows were reposing in
the fields. Many snakes have thus been
caught and killed.—Exchange.
It has also been discovered that the Treas
ury cow has been regularly milked by
"black snakes" for the last three years,
who took occasion to attach themselves
while the people were asleep. The largest
of the snaies has been recently chased off,
and the rest are being caught and scotched,
