AGENTS FOR TILE INTELLIGENCES.,
In the present condition of the country
it is impossible for us to attempt to conduct
a newspaper enterprise on the old system.
We are compelled to pay the cash for every
article we use, and material which has al
ready advanced enormously in price - is still
going'up rapidly. We have 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 Dollars a year, invariab/y 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 find it convenient
to call at our office will please call on the
agent 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 band in their
names 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, arid 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 be able to increase our
subscription list very greatly. No family
can afford to he 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
authorized to receive money and receipt for
us. All such as have paid for the Intelli
gence,- in advance of the present time will
receive One credit on our books, and the
paper will be cominued to the time for
whkb:it has besn paid:

COURT Pi, 21: En --The August term
of the , Ceurq of Quarter:Sessions commenced
on Mouday morning, Judges Hayes and
Brinum on the bench. There was a large
crowd interested persons of all kinds and
colors, promising thereby that the proceed
ing would be as interesting and entertain
ing as is the case where the law is given out
in its usual sublimity. The Court addressed
the Grand Jury on their duties and, ap
pointed Frances W. Christ, of Litlz, Fore
man.
There are ninety-eight new and ninety
four old cases on the calendar for trial.
In the case of the several charges preferred
against A. U. Groff, the District Attorney
entered a 7101. pros. by permission of the
Court, the parties interested having agreed
to a settlement.
The case of R. R. Lackey, alias Andrew
S. Ingraham, for shooting Henry Finfrock,
was continued on account of the absence of
the principal witness in the army. This
will be a most interesting case when it does
come off, as David Paul Brown, Esq., the
distinguished criminal lawyer of Philadel
phia, and other eminent counsel, have been
enzaged by the defendant.
The Court. appointed Jacob Souder, of
Mount Joy township, constable, in place of
Henry F. I\lnsselman, gone to the army.
The Grand Jury ignored the bill in the
case of Henry Appel, who was charged
with larceny.
AFTERNOON SESSION.—In the ease of
Com. cs. Sainiriel Renck, surety of the
peace, a - trilling affair, matter referred to
the Court for adjudication, who dismissed
the case and ordered the county to pay the
costs.
Corn. vs. Jacob Young, surety of the
Reties, threatening to shoot his son. De
fendant was sentenced to give security
in the sum of 8200 for his good behavior for
three months. Security not being available
he was sent to prison.
Com. vs. Chas. Green, surety of peace.
Elizabeth Watson testified that no threats
were Made against her by defendant, but
he did some other acts which were not
proven to be a breach of the peace. The
case was dismissed with county for costs.
Corn. vs. Chas. Edwards, forcible entry
into dwelling house, expulsion of goods, dtc.
It appears from the testimony of the wit
nesses that the defendant, with the aid of
some five or six other persons, after the
expiration of a lease given to Joseph A.
Cross, and the non-payment of the rent,
expelled him from the house (situated in
South Queen street), it being sold before
the lease expired. The agreement between
them failed and void, the stamp not being
put on nor the rent paid according to the
written prop tee. The defendant made en
try through another portion of the build
ing, though without using force. rending
this case tiw Court adjourned till Tuesday
morning at 9 o'cioek.
TUESDAY M 0 ILN i..—The case of Chas.
Edwards was rosumnd, and the arzuments
for both sides were completed. The verdict
was, "Not guilty, but defendant to pay the
costs." The counsel for the defence gave
notice that he would make a motion for a
new
Coin. vs. Henry Hartranft,; bigamy,
°barged with Haring a superfluity - of "bet
ter halves." Rev. D. Hertz testified to the
marriage of a Henry Hartranft to Mary
Also Richardson, on the 17th of February,
1859, and Rev. Simon Boyer testified to an
other nuirriaze of a certain Henry Hart
ranft and Elizabeth Eichelberger, on the
24th of March, .13 , 7,3, though neither of the
reverend witnesses could testify to the sim
ilarity of the-appearance of the groom of
that time to the party accused, not hav
ing sufficiently retentive memories. The
mother of Mary Ann Richardson also tes
tified to her daughter's marriage with the
defendant. The Jury returned a verdict of
Com. vs. George norsfield, horse steal

of the inability of the defendant to procure
his witnesses at this time.
Corn. vs. Win. Strock, larceny ; case con
tinued for want of witnesses for defence.
Com. vs. Washington Fry, fornication

Man' who testified to the event having
taken place on the memorable 4th of July,
1863. Verdict guilty, and the usual ex
penses to be paid.
Corn. vs. John XL Lutz, fornication and
bastardy on the body of Sarah Zell. De

MillersyilleNerundfictleel. TheJusyfound

Com. vs. Mrs. Nancy Wader surety of
the peace. The eVidence proved tbat! Mrs.
Wade was of a' belligerent chnx • , aar and
had threatened to shoot Mrs.. Rachel Grove,
and in virtue of her warlike propensities,
the Court required her to give security to
keep' the peace for three months and pay the
costs of prosecution.
Corn. vs. Henry Conner and Leah Con
ner, assault, with intent to kill Catharine
Farley. These bravados were required to
give one hundred dollars security each to
keep the peace for Three months, and to pay
the costs..
At the conclusion of this last case the
Court adjourned until Wednesday morning
at 9 o'clock.
WED:NE/313AX MoisiNo.---Counsel for
Henry Hartranft, convicted of bigamy,
made:motion for a new trial.
Corn. vs. Scipio Africanus Green; forni
cation and bastardy on the body of Lavinia
Thompson. The parties in this rase were
of a miscegan color, and the product of their
efforts was of a bright yellow hue. The
Usual sentence was passed, the same as that
given to " white trash " who are guilty of
such indiscretions.
Corn. vs. George Greeson, selling liquor
without license.; plead guilty and sen
tenced to pay a fine of ten dollars in each
case, and the costs of prosecution. Greeson
had brought a bill against Isaac Duck, for
the same offence (selling liquor without a
license), which was ignored, and the prose
cutor sentenced to pay the costs. •
Corn. vs. Benjamin Hess, forniation and.
bastardy on the body of Martha Htnry
found guilty, and the usual sentence passed.
Com. vs. Victor B. Kasser, assault and
battery on John B. Kopp. This case brought
up a great many witnesses, who testified to
the bad character of Kopp, one of whom
(the onlyfyitness who saw the affair, and
in the employ of gasser dr. Bean) swore that
no assault was committed on Kopp. Kopp,
on the other hand, swore that the marks of
the assault were on his body yet, but this
could not be proven. The verdict returned
was " not guilty," and each party to pay
half the costs.
Corn. vs. Catherine Schaum, assault and
battery on Wm. Purvis, a child. His
mother testified that he had been beaten
black and blue by Catherine Schaum, and
the defence tried to prove that the boy was
whipped and maltreated by his own mother.
Pending this case our report closes.
LETTER FROM A LANCASTERIAN IN
FRONT OF PRTERSBURO.—We have been
_permitted to insert the following interest
ing extracts of a letter from a very intelli
gent and gallant young soldier of this city,
now in front of Petersburg, to his sLster:
Dear ,Sister: You find fault with me, in
consequence of my tardiness in not writing.
Were you here for a few - days I think you
would be inclined to change your opinion—
it is nothing but dig, dig; dig, at one time
digging entrenchments, at another making
roads, and again building Forts, and thus
are we occupied daily and portictns of the
night—and by way of variety or change of
programme, we are on picket duty; from
this you may judge, after working for some
hours with spade, there is but little inclina
tion to take up the pen and scratch out a
few meagre ideas.
You, no doubt, have long since read all
the particulars of the blowing up of one of
the rebel Forts, yet a few words from my
own participation in the matter may not be
devoid of interest. I,on the evening preced
ing this event, the 30th of July, I was de
tailed for picket duty, and whether fortu
nately or otherwise, I was placed in close
pr , ,ximity to the scene of this occurrence.
About one o'clock in the morning the dif
ferent pickets were informed by the officers
to keep themselves in readiness to retreat to
the breastworks as soon as the fort was
blown up, which was lo be about half-past
three o'clock. We accordingly waited in
great expectation until the hour appointed,
but that hour passed and an hour or more
additional, when we gave up all hopes and
considered it a failure, when all of a sudden,
about ten minutes before five, while sitting in
my picket hole, the ground under me began
toneave backward and forward, and directly
in front of me a tremendous body of earth
ascended about a hundred feet in the air, I
was, as you may suppose, somewhat fright
ened, as it came so unexpected. I turned to
my left and saw all the pickets skedaddling,
I thought it time for me to do the same. As
soon as I started for our regiment, I heard
on both sides of me, boom, boom, boom,
whiz, whiz, front our guns. I scarcely knew
which way to run. At last I succeeded in
getting to my company, unhurt, but much
exhausted. After a few moments, I stood
with the rest at the breastworks and blazed
away for a half hour, until I emptied my
cartridge box; I sat down to fill it again,
when immediately I was struck on the back,
which made me turn a summersault against
the breastworks. I was stunned, and when
I got up one of the men told me I had been
struck by a piece of shell, and turning
found the piece lying there. Thank God!
I escaped so well. Its immediate effect was
to sicken me fora short time, but my
shoulder has been affected over since, but
not to keep me from duty ; upon reflection
I should be very grateful, as the force was
so violent as to tunable me heels over head,
and yet inflicted no wound.
I perceive the robs have again been
troubling you in the North, and I was sorry
to hear of the destruction of Chambersburg.
I suppose nearly all my young friends have
entered for the emergency to serve their
country.
In regard to our living we have nothing
to complain of. We have plenty of isalt
pork, and occasionally potatoes, onions,
cabbage, sourcrout, and pickles—fresh beef
three times a week—sugar and coffee. We
have plenty three times a day if we desire
it; fresh bread we get daily, but of late it
has been heavy and sour, being the cause
of many getting the diarrhoea. We have
also plenty of good water. Our Regiment,
the 21st, has dug eleven wells, which fur
nish abundance of water. There is, how
ever, considerable sickness prevailing, four
of our company having lately died of
diseases contracted in camp. There have
been several fires in Petersburg; there was
a large one this morning, no doubt oc
casioned by our shells. I could hear very
distinctly the church bells of the city giving
the alarm. Lying off Petersburg, as we
now have been for some months, I see we
have a difficult job before us before we take
possession of it. Ido not like to despond,
but the tenacity with which the rebels de
fend their firesides makes me often wish to
God that peace could be attained in any
honorable way, that we could again return
to our happy homes, and enjoy the blessings
of same. S. A. McC.
"TEE CONVAMD."—We have received
from Westhaeffer, No. 44 North Queen
street, an advance copy, from the press of
T. B. Peterson & Brothers, 306 Chestnut
street, Philadelphia, of Henry Morford's
new novel, entitled "The Coward," an
novel of the Society and Field in 1863.
The New York Home Journal, certainly
good authority, contains a flattering notice
of it, and, after a brief glance at the contents,
we are prepared to coincide in our cotem
porary's comments.
ELECTION Or SCHOOL TEACHERS.-At
a late meeting of the School Board the fol
lowing teachers were elected:
Miss Sarah Bundle was elected Asssistant
Teacher of Female High School. Miss
Francina Andrews was elected Principal,
Mary E. Davis First Assistant, and Ella
Meisel Second Assistant Teachers of Fe
male Secondary School, S. E. Division.
Miss E. Ebv was elected teacher of single
Primary School, in Lemon street, in place
of Miss Meisel', promoted. Miss Emma

FRANKLIN AND MARSHAL COLLEGE.-
The fall term of Franklin and Marshall
College commences on Thursday, the 15th
of September, at 10 o'clock, A. M., when
the opening address to the students will be
delivered In the Chapel by Prof. Wm, M.
Nevin.
Applicants for admission will be exam
ined on the day previous (Wedneadayh in
tho College building, at 3 o'clock, P. M.
The Primary Department, conducted by
the Faculty, opens at the same time and
place..
POLITICAL.—The meeting of the Democ
racy on Tuesday evening was large and
enthusiastic, and was addressed by Mayor
SANDERSON and Dr. WELCHENS. The Glee
Club was present, and enlivened the occa
sion with their excellent singing.
The meeting on Tuesday evening next
will be addressed by H. G. SMITH, Esq.,
and by PATRICK McEvoy, Esq., the Dem
ocratic nominee for Elector in this District.
SUDDEN DEATIL—Mr. Christopher Pet
zelt, of the firm of Petzelt & McEvoy, mer
chant tailors, Granite Building, North
Queen street, died suddenly on Sunday
evening, at his residenCe in East Chestnut
street In the early part of thelevening he
visited the reservoir with a Mend, and re
turned to his home about 8 o'clock, when
he was attacked with a hemorrhage of the
lungs, and died within a for minutes. Mr.
Petzelt mail a einnain" by _birtb, seed 33

/Lobito.
Mu. poswAirr's ENTEST
entertainment of Mr. BENJAMIN K. Don-
WART, at Eniton Hail, on Thursday eve
ning last, was not near so-well attended as
it should have been. Some sixty gentle
men requested him to give the entertain
ment, and jret out of the sixty bin twenty
one attended. This certainly looks very
queer. Mr. D. is, a young gentleman of
decided talent, and was deserving of a full
house. He is besides a native and resident
of this city, and we contend that every
thing should be done to foster and encourage
home-talent. If Mr. D. should consent to
give another entertainment, we trust he
will not receive such shabby treatment.
BURGLARY.—The Dry Hoods Store of D.
Bair tk Co., No. 11 East King street, was
burglariously entered between 1 and 2. o' -
clock , yesterday morning, and about MOO
worth of fine black silks were taken from
the shelves. The entrance was effected at
the rear end of the store by means of tin
ner's tools. No clue has yet been discovered
of the burglars.
COMPLIMENTARY SUPPER,—A Compli
mentary Supper will be given Lt. Col.
DAVID MILES, of the 79th P. V., by the
Lancaster Fencihles, at their Armory this
evening. This is a just tribute to a gallant
and distinguished officer, now at home after
a long imprisonment in Libby Prison,
Richmond. Col. MILES is one of the re
leased Federal officers who was under fire
at Charleston.
STAMP YOUR, RECEIPTS.—The new stamp
duties went into operation on the Ist inst.
It concerns everybody to know that all re
ceipts for amounts over twenty dollars, and
all checks or drafts at sight, whatever the
amount, must have a two cent stamp at
tached.
PRESENTED WITS A SWORD AND CANE.
—Officer Shroad, of the Southeast Ward,
of this city, was on Saturday evening the
recipient of a silver-plated emblem of his
office and a handsome cane, presented by a
number of citizens of the ward. The badge
is shaped like those of the other city officers,
and has engraved on it " Police and "S.
E. Ward." The cane is of hickory, hand
somely finished in imitation of ebony, and
surmounted with a silver-plated head, con
taining the following inscription " Pre
sented to Samuel Shroad by a number of

articles were presented in a neat speech by
Harry Cann, of the Philadelphia Police be-,
partment.

RELATION OF CHRISTIANS TO CIVIL
GOVERNMENT.
[Prom the Church Advocate, Oct. 29, 18133.]
BROTHER E. H. THOMAS : —Sef•ilig SO
much in the Advocate in regard to the pres
ent civil war, and the Saints of the Most
High participating therein, I have been led
to examine somewhat in regard to it. You
say Brother Rockall - allow has made the mat
ter so plain as to satisfy the most Scrupu
lous and conscientious. Now, dear Brother,
in this you are widely mistaken, for it is
impossible for me to see any Scriptural
proof in Brother R's communication to
convince any one. The plea that govern
ments are ordained of God, is no proof, un
less its rulers rule in righteousness, and you
will not surely pretend that the rulers (I
mean collectively) of this nation are God
fearing men, when you consider the pro
fanity, drunkenness, disregard of the Sab
bath, selfishness, eagerness of gain, ;tr., as
exhibited in the euteluct of so mans-. Now,
dear Brother, do you think our Saviour in
tended that we should do the will of ungodly
rulers? If He did, why did He, His apos
tles, the prophets before them, and later
christians during the Reformation, and the
good of all ages and countries, teach us
otherwise by their conduct, sealing their
faith with their blood, rather than violate
their consciences? Did our Saviour obey
those pretending to have authority to direct
how He should teach? Did prophets they
in matters of conscience the kings of their
day? Did the early christians Did era
mei% Latimer, Ridley, Fox, and a host of
others, render due allegiance to those in
authority? No, every intelligent Christian
must answer no. Then why, by illogical
reasoning, try to force the consciences of
God's children, telling them they must be
subject to the powers that be, in matters
about which so many good christians are so
sorely perplexed, teaching them to act so
contrary to the spirit of love as taught hy
our Divine Master ? Think not lam coun
selling opposition to the Government ; not
so. I love my country, and pray God to
look on with pity and relieve us of our deep
distress; and abhotiring rebellion as I tit.,
still I cannot feel clear to go forth to kill
even erring rebels ; and if the authorities
demand of me to violate my religious faith,
do violence to my conscience, in my judg
ment they transcend the bounds of legal
authority as laid down not only by the word
of God, but our Constitution. How chris
tians impelled by love and good will to men
can take the sword, is more than I can con
ceive, (but if they can, God he with them,)
when the Scripture tells us " they that take
the sword shall perish with the sword,"
" pray for your enemies," " render not evil
for evil," " follow peace with all men and
holiness, without which no man shall see
the Lord," "do all to the glory of God," and
many other such declarations, which, with
the little light I have, make me shudder at
the thought of sending souls unprepared
before their Maker. Brother, you must
bear with my weakness. lam conscien
tious about dealing death, even amid the
murder of thousands—where souls rush to
judgment wafted from the field of battle,
the scene of every evil work—the work over
which Satan exults in fiendish cruelty, and
I cannot help it. God only knows the bit
ter tears this wicked rebellion has caused
me to shed in pity for the sufferings it has
produced; in pity for our suffering soldiers
battling with it for loved ones lett behind,
and alas, for the cause of our Divine Mas
ter. Where, ah, where is the love, charity,
faithfulness, zeal and usefulness of the
church of the Most High? Where are her
watchmen who were wont to dispense' to u
perishing world the word of life and peace,
to persuade men "be ye reconciled to God ?'
Whero.their commissions "go ye into all
the world and preach my gospel?" They
answer, they have later commissions, and
have left the first; left their charges and
gone to dealing death in horrid Shape to
mortals unprepared, misled or forced to
fight against a government under which
they lived. So the church may languish.
The war spirit is imbibed by members,
freely acted upon, and how soon Ado both
preacher and charge conform to BIN world.
With carnal weapons of warfare they
blindly try to think it right to go in the ways
of the world, till by frequency with sin,
they begin to look on it with allowance, till
alas many will make shipwreck altogether,
and go into soul-destroying sins with little
compunction of conscience. 0, the horror
—horror of souls lost in eternity by the de
mon of war ; souls who little thought they
could be allured from God by its evil asso
ciations, until, alas, too late, they went front
the church to battle for their country, with
firm purpose to hold fast to the end, and in
the evil time gave way and fell—fell be
yond all hope of rest in Heaven. Viewing
it as I do, how my heart yearns fors my
country in this its hour of peril, fc,r the
church in its sore trial, and, 0, for my fol
lows in their awful suflering and privations.
May the God of Heaven. illume our hearts,
teach what is His will, lead us in the right
way, that we may hold fast to truth, and
give us peace, endless and eternal,
Yours in love, • .

MISSION OF THE DEMOCRACY.
The Age briefly and graphically alleges
it to be: To restore the Union, the Consti
tution and the laws to their original strength
and beauty and power; to heal a bleeding
and almost ruined country; to bind up the
broken hearts; to pour oil and wine into
the wounds made by war; to restore gold
and silver to the pockets of the laboring
man; to reduce the price of the necessaries
of life, bread coffee, sugar, flour, coal; to
set up the civil over the military power; to
bring back the habeas corpus, free speech,
and the free ballot; to put labor at its usual
avocations; to drive out the thieves and
robbers from the public crib.
THROAT AFFECTIONS.-A physician writ
ing from 3.i . ev.lane, New York, speaking of
beneficial effects resulting from the use of
"Brown's Bronchial Troches," says, "Oblige
me by sending a dozen more of your
Bronchial Troches,' enclosing bill. For
alleviating that horrid irritation felt by
those who have suffered from any Bron
chial Affections, and for hoarseness and sore
throat too, I am free to confess (though I am
an M. D.) they answer all you claim for
them. I would beg you to feel that I am
one of the last men in the profession to puff
a nostrum, but feel I am but doing you
justice to assort what I have." To avoid
disappointment, be sure to obtain the gen
uine " Brown's Bronchial Troches."
Se - The New York Express says that the
feeling is intense against the war policy of
AdMIT qtration since the President has

WAR NEWS.
From Wedncsdoy's Ag
General Grant has begun a singular ma
nceuvre. Above Bermuda Hundred is a
narrow neck of laud aroma' which the James
River flows. The length of the river around
the neck, the end of which is known 'as
Dutch Gap, is seven miles. Acrosstheneck
the distance is but one hundred and fifty
yards. The Confederate obstructions are
kink in the James at Dutch Gap, and Grant
conceived the idea that a canal could be dug
across the neck, deep enough to pass his
gunboats through, and by this means a new
movement upon Richmond could he begun.
Accordingly, two corps, under }Janacek and
Birney, were sent to Foster's camp on the
north bank of the James. The canal was
begun. For two days the troops labored
without being discovered. On Sunday,
however, as was announced yesterday, the
Confederates discovered them, and at once
tried to drive them away. From batteries
on shore, and,iron-clads in the James, shells
were thrown, and the labor was seriously
impeded. The canal is only begun and may
never he completed. The enemy have great
powers of annoyance for the laborers. It
all proves that the siege of Petersburg is
dosing. Grant has lost another of his
generals. General Ledlie, a division com
mander of the Ninth Corps, has given up his
command. •
The troops which moved from Grant's
camp up the James River to Dutch Gap
were Hancock's and Birney's Corps. They
were embarked at City Point on Saturday
and went down the James to deceive the
Confederates. On Saturday night they wore
brought back and landed at Foster's earth
work, on the north hank of the James.
They attacked the Confederates in front of
Foster and captured their earthworks and a
numbeeoaf prisoners and cannon. The ac
counts vary as to both. From one hundred
to five hundred prisoners are reported taken
and from four to seven cannon. Nothing is
known of what occurred after Sunday, and
no change seems to have taken place after
the contest of that clay. At nightfall, the
Federal line was one mile nearer Richmond
than Foster's earthwork, ten miles from the
town and seven miles southeast of Fort
Darling. The Confederates opposed the
further advance of the Federal line, and
Hancock and Birney did not appear able to
do much. The siege of Petersburg will have
to ho given up if these two corps remain on
the north bank of the James. There are
now no Federal troops anywhere near
Petersburg. Warren and Wilcox have
their corps ut Port Walthall, and the Con
federates on the Weldon Railroad have ad
vanced their lines some distance towards
City Point. There are no reports of losses
in any of these contests.
The reports that Gen. Sherman has ex
tended his western dank, so as to cover
the village of East Point, on the Macon
Railroad, southwest of Atlanta, are again
renewed. There is nothing to warrant
them. Sherman's army, at last accounts,
extended from a point on the Dalton Rail
road, four miles northwest of Atlanta, to a
point six miles west of Atlanta, and thence
north of East Point. He was not within
two miles of the Macon Railroad, and every
eflbrt to read' it had been repulsed. The
Confederates announce that the various rail
roads running out of Atlanta, which were
destroyed by Sherman's Cavalry have been
repaired. They are all now in operation.—
Gen. Roddy, who captured Stoneman and
his command, has gone with a large c avalry
and infantry force, from Hood's camp, to
operate on the railroads in Sherman's rear.
The authorities at Washington do not
seem very confident of Farragut's ultimate
success at - Mobile. It is again announced
that he do s not intend to capture the town,
but only tide his attack in order to cap
tureA. the ha entrances and make the block
ade mole effective. Nothing has been done
at Mobile since the surrender of Is', , it Gaines.
A report from con. Canby states that Far

eight hundred and seventy-three men and
forty-four guns.
The Confederates in the Shenandoah Val
ley are still north of Strasburg. Sheridan
does not seem to intend to attack them. A
Confederate reinforcement of twenty thous
and men and twenty cannon is announced.
Nothing beyond ordinary skirmishing will
probably occur in the Shenandoah Valley
for a few days.

The Peace Flag onPl'asi Day
On Thursday, August 4, Mr. Lincoln's
day of fasting and prayer, a flag whose lac
simile had not, up to that time, greeted the
vision of New Yorkers, floated proudly
front the Cooper Institute Building, and its
apptiaranee was greeted with evident signs
of satisfaction by all who saw it. During
the entire day its ample folds kissed the
breeze, and many es were directed toward
it as it waved,amid the Summer air. It
was a Peace flag. Its ground was white,'
and in its centre was a dos - e, bearing in its
mouth an olive branch. This was the in
scription upon it: " Peace on Earth ; Good
Will Toward Men. - .'e prominent advocate
of Peace raised it last day. When doing
so he was told that a mob would tear it down
within half an hour. Hr knew the people
better. No mob molested it : but evident
tokens of gratification were given at its ap
pearance, and it floated proudly day.—
Was the first Peace nag that hail been
publicly raised in New York since this
fratricidal strife commenced, and graced
the stage of the Institute in the evening.

Peace lecture. It WEIS thegift of the tactics

dent with this vindictiveness displayed by
the people:in April, 1811. Who would then
have dared to raise such a flag? Who
could then safely advise peace? But, thank
God, a change—a very perceptible change
--has come over the people. The nation is
sick—sick unto death—of war and its at
tendant horrors. Peace finds eloquent,
earnest advocates, and its banner flaunts
the breeze unmolested. " Straws show which

75,000 TONS OF HUMAN BLOOD
A writer in the Jefferson County Union
has made Seale celculatinus relative to the
number of men killed thus far in the war,
and gives the following interesthur items:
There has been enough already slain to
encircle our State if their dead bodies were
laid in one continuous line.
Tf they were placed in coffins and corded.,
they Would count thirty-nine thousand
cords.
If laid in a wall twenty-five feet thick
and thirty feet high, it would be over one
and one-fourth miles lona.
If five feet thick and - ten feet high the
pile would reach across this State.
If piled upon a ten acre lot, they would
he nearly two hundred feet high.
And if laid upon the ground, they would
cover every foot of soil in Jefferson county.
Seventy-five thousand tons of human
blood have been spilled on Dixie's soil—
enough to turn every spindle in Lowell,
and if the tears were added to the flood it
would turn the machinery of the continent :
and the unavailing .sighs would fill every
ocean sail.
The one-half has not vet been told. The
millions of wounded and maimed for Life
must be taken into account in summing up
the grand total of evils incident to this
bloody fanatical war.
And the end is not vet.
_.!••• It is a pert and frequently used ex
pression by the opposition, says the Clinton
Democrat, that the Democrats oppose the -
Administration because they want the of
fices. That argument, if it may he called
such, is easily disposed of by pointing out
that Democrats can now obtain offices more
readily than the Abolitionists themselves.
They need only go over. An office is then
a sure thing, from Vice President down, if
they have it to give. That so very few do
go over, show's that it is not the desire for
office that prompts the Democracy in its op
position to the most corrupt, despotic and
incompetent Administration the country
ever saw. On the reverse, tens of thousands

REPPELICANS YEARNING FOR PEACE.
There are frequent indications, of late,
that many Republicans are .becoming sen
sible as to the alarming condition into which
the country has been brought by this war,
and also as to the necessity of a champs of
administration. A remarkable instance of
this, is the Boston Herald, a leading Re-
publican journal of Massachusetts, from
which we take the following extracts :
" The present appears to be a fhtin... , time
for the press of the country to lay aside all
party issues and devote themselves to tie
task of restoring peace to the nation upon a
basis which should be alike honorable to all
concerilbd. The present raid into Mary
land, threatening, as it does, Baltimore and
Washington, the heavy
.drafts .which are
constantly being made upon the people in
the shape of men and money—to say noth
ing of heavy taxation and the high price of
lifing--mbionish us that war is a serious
matter, viewed even In its most favorable
aspect.'
It further says upon the general topic of
subjugation:
" We presume the people of the South are
satisfied that they cannot subjugate the
North, and the people at the North are sat
isfied that they cannot subjugate the South.
This being true, it becomes our duty! to
stay the slaughter of men, to restore peace
to the country ! This is a political question,
and must be decided at the polls by the vo
ters in both sections of the country. If the
press would unite upon any basis that would
recommend itself to the people, there would
he no difficulty in coming to an understand
ing upon the subject. Can we agree with
the South upon any terms? Can we offer a
basis of settlement which they will adopt,
and which at the same time will be satisfac
tory to the North? For our part we see no
way opened for a return of the rebel States
to the Union except by and through the
agency of the Constitution. They must eithr
er resume their State sovereignty and ac
knowledge the Federal Constitution, or they
must stay where they are. If the people at
the South are a unit against a return to the_
Federal compact, it becomes a question for
us to decide how much longer we will fiFlit
to compel them to an unwilling association
with us, And if we were to succeed in de
stroying their armies, should we then have
peace upon a permanent basis? These are
crave questions, and demand the serious
consideration of the thinking, reflecting
minds. Our object in this article is to call
the attention of the press to the great duty
which devolves upon them in this trying
hour- -ask them to discuss this matter calm
ly and dispassionately, with a view to con
cert of action, and to unite the people of the
North upon some project to stop the further
shedding of blood,
The Herald also proposes the following
questions:
" If wo understand the Southern lenders,
they will not return to the Union upon any
terms. They inaugurated the war to estab
lish a Southern Confederacy, and will be
content with nothing short of that. If this
be true, can we prevent it and compel them
to a submission to the old Union? If we
cannot and the people are satisfied upon this
point, it is useless to fight any longer, but
hold on to what we have got, and wait for
time to determine the future."
In n subsequent editorial on the same sub
ject' the Herald says;
" We warn those in P, ewer that n crisis is
rapidly approaching that will hurl them
from their seats, unless they bring this war
to a close, or convince the people that they
have the power to do sh before long,"
These extracts are straws .which show
that the wii d is veering to a new gdarter.

THE WAYS OF THE WAR
A clairvoyant, it is reported, has just in
formed the President that, in a previous
state of existence, he was Attila, King of the
Huns. If this be true, the President may
lawfully congratulate himself on a decided
improvement in his status condition, such
an improvement as ought to make him
eager and active to arrest the progress which
this terrible war of ours is making in the di
rection of those savage principles and those
devasting practices which signalizedthe con
quests of ltis alleged first avatar. That Mr.
Lincoln is fully disposed and anxious to do
this it is impossible to doubt. He has, on
many occasions, interpogred his authority to
put a stop to individual local excesses, and,
as we are informed, has just rescinded an
absurd and atrocious order of that most in
competent officer, General Hunter, leveled
at whole population of the city of Fred
erick, in Maryland. We could wish that
the President would go further, and, by a
general proclamation, recall the senseless
and the passionate among our military men
to a comprehension of the duties and the
decencies of war. The flames of Chambers
ateg, reddening tlaTsky in response to those
which had so often cast their lurid light
upon the heavers 10 Virginia or Tennessee,
give a special vividness to the moral of the
following excellent remarks which we find
in the Springfield Republican :
"BARBARISM or E WAu.--Getiernl
Hunter owes it to his own reputation to ex
plain the destruction of Gov. Letcher's
house, or to deny that he ordered it, it such
is the fact. Equally unjustifiable is the
capture of three or four hundred factory
girls, at Rossville, f:tstrgia, and their trans
portation as prisoners Northward, to be
s,ll beyond the limits of the United States,
it is reported. These girls are no more hos
tile to us than the rest of the women of the
South, probably less so, and it is a great
cruelty to take them from their homes and
put them unprotected among strangers.
The Indians make prisoners of women, but
it is a new thing among white and civilized
Americans. against the introduction of all
barbarities into the war the true friends of
the country should protest. It is a horrible
enough struggle at the best, and there is no
need to add to its inevitable evils."
A "decent regard to the opinions of man
kind," if no higher consideration requires
us to remember that we have men among
us, who are fast earning for the Americana
notority as disgraceful as that which has so
long attached to the Mexican name. We
inust make an end of this mutual maraud
ing, burning, massacre and deportation, or
they will make an end of us.--rbonterciol

COPPERHEAD COMPLAINTS!
Can any of our readers guess what dam
mont •ontaitis the following complaints?—
The Abolitionist will readily say it is the
"disloyal" platform of some Copperhead
Convention:
" He has obstructed the adminbitrittion of

"He has made judges dependent upon
his will alone.
He has preeted a multitude of new of
fices.
" He has kept among us, in time oi peace,
standing armies, without the consent of leg
islatures.
"lie has even effected to render the mili
tary independent of and superior to the
civil power.
He has combined, with others, to sub
jeci us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Con
stitution, and unacknowledged by our laws ;
giving his assent to their acts of pretended
legislation.
"For quartering large bodies of armed
troops among us.
'• For protecting them, by mock trial, from
punishment for any murder which they
should commit on the inhabitants of these
States.
" For depriving us, in many cases, of the
benefit of trial by jury.
" For taking away our charters, abolish.
ing our most valuable laws, and altering,
fundamentally, the forms of our govern
ments.
"He has incited domestic insurrections
among us."

ter day political .gathering, but are taken

"PEACE."
" It is not to be disgi,aised, that the Demo.
cratie party is rapidly drifting towards
peace."—Journal.
We wish we could say that not only the
Democratic parts - , but also the country,
"is rapidly drilling towards peace." For
More than three years this nation has been
torn and. desolated by a civil war, as fierce
as any which history records. Its soil has
been watered by the blood of contending
armies. Hundreds of thousands ,of men
have died on the field of battle, or wasted
away in camps and hospitals. The wall of
mourning goes up from almost every house
hold. The property created by the sweat
of years of labor has been wasted, and that
to toe acquired by the toll of unborn mil
lions is mortgaged to defray the cost of this
terrible and unnatural struggle. Ruin,
political, financial, moral and social, con
fronts both belligerents, if this war bemneh
longer prolonged.
It illustrates the character and despera
tion of the contest, and the discouragement
of our condition, that all attempts to aii.eat
this effusion of blood and stay the progress
of ruin are deuounced as disloyal, and that
it is uttered as a matter of reproach, that
a great political organization—" the Demo
cratic party is rapidly drifting towards
peace. - Alas has peace ceased to be a
condition of nations to be 'desired and
prayed for? Is the race of man to return
to barbarism—to be transformed into the
wild boast of the forest? Is civilization ex
tinct—Christianity abolished?
To be in favor of peace does not imply a i
desire for a dishonorable termination of hos
tilities. We not only concede, but insist
that nations, like individuals, must pe Asess •
self-respect, and be reasonably firm m
maintaining their rights. Once in a con
test they must not pusillanimously back
out of it, as by such a coursethey but invite
aggressions.
We have not hesitated to insist upon the
duty of the Federal Go'rernment to sup
press the present rebellion. The Democratic
party of this State and the nation has been
firm in its support of the legitimate consti
tutional authority of the Union as against
this formidable insurrection. It will con
tinue to occupy that position. But war is
not the only instrumentality to employ in
winning back rebellious citizens or refrac
tory members of a confederacy. Indeed,
ivar alone can never accomplish the pacifi
cation of a country rent with internal strife.
It must always in the end call to its aid the
kindly and gentle offices of diplomacy, of
consultation, of mutual forbearance and
concessions. These are essential to the
consummation of peace, and must sooner
or later be called in requisition—for war
cannot last'always. At some stage of its
progress, and under a greater or less degree
of exhaustion of one or both of the bellig
erents, an armistice is sure to be had—while
the combatants, resting on their arms, dis
cuss die state of the quarrel and confer upon
the possibility of peace.
Such a contingency will arrive in the pro
gress of this war—how soon, or whether it
will terminate in peace, or in a renewal of
thcstruggle, the future must disclose. But
tbq armistice—the conference—the attempt
at settlement are merely a question of time.
And if it he charged as a reproach to the
Democratic party, that it is not irrevocably
committed to perpetual and desolating war
—that it is ready to yield to the impulses of
humanity and Christianity, and suspend
the effusion of blood long enough to confer
upon the possibility of peace—to confer, we
mean, through the constitutional agency of
a convention of the States—if this be charged
as a reproach, we consent to rest under the
aspersion, and to abide the calm judgment
of the people upon the issue thus made.
Indeed, we are content to accept such an
issue before the great tribunal of the people
in the coming Presidential election. We
have no confidence that this Administration
—under all the complications in which it is
involved—could ever end the war—except
so far as it might end from the exhaustion
of the combatants. But we believe Wilt a
new Administration could close this frater
nal strife on terms honorable to us as a na
tion, and on the basis of the preservation of
the Union of the States.
COURAGE OF NEGRO TROOPS
The correspondent of the Boston fonenal
says:
A few days :Igo I sat in the tent of Gen.
W. F. Smith, commander of the Thirteenth
Army Corps, and heard his narration of the
manner in whieh General Hink's division
of colored troops stood the fire and charged
upon the rebel works east of Petersburg on
the 16th of June. There were thirteen guns
pouring a constant fire of solid shot and
shells on our troops, enfilading the line,
cutting it lengthwise and crosswise. "Yet
they stood unmoved for aiz hours Not a
man flinched. [These are the words of the
general.] It was as severe a teat as I ever
saw. But they stood it.''
If it be true that the officer referred to
made the statement contained in the above
paragraph in seriousness, we would suggest
that, insomuch as he is now without active
employment., and as Baron Nfunchausen is
dead, he should immediately enter upon
that literary field ihr which he is so emi
nently qualified.
We comment on this most enormous
dose of negro puffery run mad, simply to
show the wonderful gullibility of the abo
lition press. The above tale, which would
be rejected with contempt by the marines,
has been published in hall the shoddy pa
pers of the country.. The Albany ELT3I ing
JOUrnal swallows it entire. Without par
ticularly alluding to the marvelous novelty
in war which requires a force charging. upon
nn enemy to "stand unmoved" six hours,
or any length of time and which, by the
way, is the manner in which wicked cop
perheads have always supposed negro troops
would act (when ordered to "charge" any
thing but a mess-pot), it is safe to say that
no soldiers in the world, though mailed
with thirty-six inches of chilled iron, and
anchored to the ground with kedges that
might hold a Great Eastern, could sustain,
" unmoved," such a fire for a spare of six
minutes.—(claw York World.
THE Easton, (Pa. , A g \villas to know
" how, in the name of Goa, the Union is to
be restored, if President Lincoln will listen
to no Commissioners, will receive no offers,
will hear no proposals? How are we ever
to have an end if he will allow no one to
make a beginning? On three occasions he
has refused to listen to offers of peace."
The 4rgns proceeds, addressing thought
ful Republicans:
We ask you, in view el' these things can
you, win you sustain President Lincoln any
longer? It is as plain as the sun at noon
day that if he is re-elected, we shall have
four years more of war, drafts, taxes, misery,
bloodshed, devastation, ruin, and, perhaps,
another revolution in the North. President
Lincoln is either a fanatic himself or he is
under the influence of fanatics and con
tractors, who rule him and shape his course
to sAit themselves. We verily believe that
a Dthnocratic Administration could end the
war and restore the Union in three months.
You can take your choice, then, gentlemen,
and make up your minds between now and
November, to vote either for
1. A Democratic administration, with
peace, compromise and re-union, no more
drafts, and reduced taxes, or
2. Four years more of Lincoln's Admin
istration, with continued war and butchery,
more drafts, financial ruin, and perhaps
permanent separation.
