ITiird. Pray for " the powers th it be." Ttfis, as a duty, is as binding on christians, not only on the common princie pie of pray ing for all men, but in a special manner, as rulers are " the ministers of God for good." j None have more need of diviDe assistance j and direction, and therefore none have more ! need of the prayers cf those who have an | interest at the " throne of grace." The un- ! aofistioated christian would stand utterly amazed at a so-called christain Bishop di- j recting his clergy, on a certain contingency I of govern ment, to expunge the name of the President of the United Spates from the for mal prayers of the church ; if it. wore not that Le has known the most wonderful, things to be done under the name and sanction of religion! Presumption and s upidity eou'd be earned no farther by a professed christian biebop. If a ruler be supposed to be a wicked man, or to be contemplating an net of wickedness, he has only the more of prry ers of christians. Or. if there ouly hap.p<ns to be a difference of opinion between 'be party so ordering, and the executive of the government as to duty and policy in a pend ing controversy; is there a christain bishop who is oapaple of so misrepresenting his God, as to suppose that he is capable of changing ; to meet the conflicting views, policies, and j prejudicies of men 1. Uo, no I the command j reads '' i exhort therefore, that first of all, j "applications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men ; for 1 kings, and for all that are in authority.''— : 1 Urn. 2: 1,2. When this command was given, the civil governors were heathens, ty rants, and even persecutors. Yet i t modern ; progress, for a ruler to be supposed to be op- j posed to measures deemed destructive of all eitablished government, is esteemed suf- j ficient reason to exclude him from the benefit! of th 2 prayers of christains ! And people ! act upon the same absurd and presumptuous ; principle, wheD they refrain in their private and domestic prayers, to remember the civil j ruler, because be was not elevated to place by the vote of the political party to which j they beloDg. This is to subjugate religioD to worldly interest and policies, instead of sane tifying worldly concerns by religious princi- j pie. We as a religious demonstration, may bare been heretofore too much neglectful of j the remembrance of our rulers in our public ! prayer, in ordinary times of peace. For this we are to be blamed, so far as it is justly ■ ehargeable upon us; but, thank God! we have now no formal prayers to alter and adapt to the 6inful prej-udices and purposes 1 of men. Lastly. Personal and official respeet and j reverence are due on the part of the people ' towards their rulers. This is deemed a mat ter of so much importance that it is made a j Bubjeot of inspired injunctions. " Tliou shah j not revile the Gods, nor curse the ruTer of thy j people." Magistrates are called Gods, Ps j 82: 6. because they are the representatives of j God in the particular sense of being rukrs j under him, from whom, as Supreme Ruler, 1 all authority and government springs. When j Paul was reproved for speaking har.-b'y of j of God's high priest, he replied: " I wist not \ brethren, that he was the High Priest: lor it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of th ruler of tby people." The Apostle Peter in describing a very base class of" persons, says, " They are not afraid to speak evil of digni ties," and " despise government." It there is a sin in regard to their rulers, with which the American people are more chargeable than others, it is this of speaking ei il of their rulers. It has been the fault of all times and of all parties. It is mainly owing to the vi olence of party feelings and party contests. How much it has had to do iu weakening the bonds of society, as exhibited in the present state of the country, God only knows." CONCLUSION —A FEW INFERENCES. Ist. Civil government being the ordinance of God, it canDOt be no light sin to subvert, or attempt to subvert a government wbicb -few tbe ratification of his providence, and accomplishes the ends of civil government. 2d. Therefore, subjection to magistrates in the lawful duties of their office, is a chris tian's imperative duty. A contrary course of conduct is a reproach of his religion, and gives just occasion to suspect either his in telligence of bis piety. It is evidently con trary to the injunctions of his Master. 3d. Rulers are not only "servants of the people," but " ministers ot God." " The minister of God to thee for good." Also, Prov. 8 : 15. They govern for God. It is his del egated power which they exercise. " There is no power.but of God." It therefore fol lows, that they are bound to govern by the will of God ; that is, they are bound to gov ern oa the principles of justice, truth and impartiality, as taught in the word of God.— They have a great work to do for God, " Ministers of God." 4tb. As there are duties which subjects owe to every authoritatively estab'ished gov ernment; so there are corresponding duties wbioh every government owes to its subjects. These duties may be summarily compre hended in tbe following statement, li is the duty of the Government to support and pro tect the subject in his person, legal rights, and just liberties and privileges. This of course implies, that when a Government man ifestly and systematically fails to accomplish these ends, it may be resisted and overturn" ed by the people. But no imaginary, or tri fling, or incidental evils ; or such as can be "remedied by the ordinary action of the peo ple; will avail to justify revolution, or open rebellion against a Government-. And here, I cannot forbear to express the eonvietion, that the preseut rebellion of some of the Southern States against tbe General and Central Government of tbe eouDtry, is the most unreasonable and unjustifiable op position to established Government, which has ever taken place in the history of Gov ernments. If we were to admit all the griev ances which these rebellious States have ever eomplained of, as well founded, they would not justify the hazarding of one precious life in securing their removal. But when we re member, that peaceful and ever accessible means of redress of all real grievances were alwavs at bind, and the means provided in the constitution itself for the amendment of its provisions, if at that lime they bore uii; favorably upon any part of the people ; we cannot but pronunce the present attempted revolution as the most indefensible of ail the upheavings and overturuings which have taken place among tbe nations since the world began 1 Government has been admin, istered confessedly in occordanco with the constitution and iha laws, and with impar tiality, or if partiality at any time has been shown, it has always been to those now in rebellion. The acts of Congress have been mainly as those now in reoeliion made them, or wished them. The party with which they acted has administered the Government for the past thirty years, with scarcely an inter ruption. When they complain, they com plain mainly of what they themselves have done. And up to tbe time when they began to inaugurate secession, they possessed the controlling power ia Congress. It seems to us that they have manifested as great ingrat itude to the party with which they have act ed for many nast years,; as they bare been wanting in fidelity and attachment to the in stitutions under which they have prospered in all their material iuteresfs.

EDMUND BLANCHARD, Chairman of County Executive Committee. Wood Wanted. W e want a few loads of good wood from some of our subscribers, immediately. Wood is just as Deoessary as money, 'to a certain extent, and if seme of our friends will bring in a few loads it will save both them and us from payiDg out the cash. Why is it ? Why is it that PO many of our subscri bers to whom we have sent bills lately, pay no attention whatever to our requests ? Is it because they are rich and consider a bill for newspaper subscription a thing of too small amount and importance to claim their attention ? Or is it because they are too poor to pay the bills at present? We be lieve we have men of both descriptions oh our books. To the first mentioned class we beg leave to say that although the bill koks small in their eye", and would make but lit tle difference in the weight of their heavy purses, it is of vast importance to us as it is by these small bills that we have to collect together what money we are obliged raise.— It is by tbe collection of these small b lis that we are obliged to raise the moDey with which to pay cur rent, to buy our paper, to pay our bunds, to buy our bread, and yet men who are abundantly able to pay us throw our bills aside and think no more of tfcern because they are small. Not so how ever, if a man owes them ; they c illect to the last dollar and resort to the law if it is not paid. We pronounce it a burning shame that men who own large farms, stock ed with herds of horses, cattle, and sheep, aud who have large barus filled with tbe choisest grain, and who live in fine houses and ride around in fine carriages, are so neg ligent that they will not pay for their news papers. We are ob'igsd to labor hard and study in order to furnish men with the paper and if we do not get out in time or d# not get out at all for a week, then they talk largely about withdrawing their support hy stopping their paper. How gladly we would erase tbe nams of every man who will not pay up, if we were bat certain who they are. We are in debt, and are being pushed by the men to whom we are indebted. Men will not wait on us forever and of course we cannot waic on those who are indebted to us. We must get money, if not one way then an other. We cannot nor we will not send our paper much longer to men who are able and net willing to pay for what they have already received. We have men enough on our books, who are able to pay, aod if they would do so we would be out of debt in less than a month, yet they permit U3 to be sued for the very paper on which we print," they oblige us to run in debt for the very bread we eat and the clothes we wear. We say it is a shame, and any man who is able to pay and will not ought to be ashamed to Ree the paper come into his house,or to meet itspub lisber on the street. We think that every man who is ab!e, (and a man must be poor, indeed, who is not) should either bring or send in the money immediately. We took charge of'he Democrat an the lst-of Janua ry 1860. Every man, therefore who has been taking the paper since that time to the present and who has paid nothing is indebt ed §3,00. Every man who has taken U from that time, without having paid up, and de sires bis paper to go on until the end of the i present year is indebted §4,CO not having j availed themselves of the advance terms of ! either year ; but in order to raise some mon ey we will offer an inducement, all those who are'hus indebted and who will send in the money immediately can Lave the advan tage tf the advance terms for the present year, thus making their bills $3,50. And all these who are indebted for this year, can have the benefit of the advance terms by pay ing up immediately ; and what we m n an by immediately is now and not a couple of months hence, for we cannot and we wish it understood that we will not take $L 50 uear the eod of the year. We have now laid this before our readers as plainly as possible so that every man m-y know that we need money and bow much each one is indebted ; if this is not plain enough we must publish the names of those who are behind with the amount opposite the name. Before we do tbrs however, we wili wait to see how our subscribers respond to this call. Let every man who owes for this paper, say, this dun is intended for me, and I will pay up. Rev. T. N, Boyle; We see by the Washington Co. Examiner that the above named gtmtleman, formerly connected wiih this office, has been engaged in forwarding the cause of Liberty aad Right in that county, by lecturing at differ ent pointsnn the present state of National affairs and showing up the hideous character of the rebellion in which tbe South is enga j ged, and upholding the Government in its 1 efforts to put things to right. Had it not been for the objections raised by his eongre ! gation he would have been raising the sword , instead of his voice against the enemies of 1 his country.

It is edited by a sound man and consequent ly promulgates the right kind of doctrine. It contains as late, if not later, news than any other paper published in the State, snd its reports are r ull and euthentic. It is a paper which every man who is [able should take. The price of the daily is but four dollars a year, and at a time when there is so much Dews of importance, it is worth, to aDy intelligent man, twice that amount. We believe we would rather have the Telegraph every evening than our supper. If you want a good paper get the lelegraph. Gen. MeClellan in Command— New Regulations. The entrance of Gen. MeClellan upon his duties as commander of this military depart ment, has inspired the troop>s in and around Washington with renewed military etitbusl asm. lie has already visited the various en trenchments on the \ irginia side, examined into their condition and strength, and in stituted the strictest discipline among the soldiers and in all departments of the service within his jurisdiction. Brigade, regimen tal and line officers are made to understand that lounging and tippling around the camps are not to be permitted. The much abused passport system has been greatly rts'ricted, and the facilities heretofore enjoyed so free ly of communication between Washington and the rebellious States, have been as far as practicable curtailed. The effect of his vigorous measures generally, is everywhere felt, and the army has begun to realize the presence of military power which may be safely trusted, IKS?' The following action of our county | Commissioners will be interesting to the | candidates for the office of Treasurer: COMMISSIONERS OFEICE, Jan., 10th 1860. A full Board of Commissioners and Audi tors being present, the senior Commissioner in the chair; the attention of the join l Boards was called to the 23d section of an act relating to the compensation of County Treasurer by the President ; and thereupon the following resolution was offered and adapted by a unanimous vote. Resolved, That the compensation of Treas urer for all county funds received and paid out by hsrn shall be five per cent on the first l'wenty Thousand dollars and one per cent on the sums over that amount iu each year— see Purdons Digest Page 180 sec, 23. Resolved , That this rule shall not be ap plied to the present Treasurer, he having beeD elected previous to its adoption. For the" D emocrat, State Senator. The time is approaching when a candidate to fill this position must be seleited in this district. Several names have been suggested but Lycoming Cuunty claims the man and and we learn, the friends of G. W. YouDg man are urging him to allow his name to be brought before the people for the nominntier. We beleive that Centre County will cordially sustain this proposion and support his elec tion with a hearty good will. Mr Youngman is a prominent member ot the Williamsport bar, and has been spokeD of as a suitable person for Judge, but we believe he declines that position. If he will consent to be a Candida e for the Senate, we are sure be will be nominated and elected. lie is just -the kind of a man we want at this time in that position, felfinade, full cf energy and patriot ism, in the very prime of life aud enjoying the unlimited confidence of those who know him, unconnected with cliqnes or fastions, honest and just with a miad aud a will of ! i his own he would discbarge his duties with 1 commanding ability and respect. LYJOMING. For the Democrat. Hurrah for Brushvally. While it is a fact that there are some men in this section who are dist Oied to favor the South in its unholy rebellion, there are still some of us who are willing to stand by "old Abraham" in bis attempt to crush out the monster—still some of us who are willing to stand by the old flag. As an instance let it be known that Mr. Jobn Hoy, who resides near Madisonburg, is thefiist man who has agreed to pay the Relief Tax for all his ten, ants. This is a movement in the right di rection. Let this example be followed by others. A DUTCHMAN OF MILES Brigadier and Major Generals for Pennsylvania. WASHINGTON, July 30.

Six hundred Federals and Fif teen hundred Rebels Killed. WISE WHIPPED AND RETREATING. - CLARKSBURG, Va., July 30. We have exciting rumors here to day of an engagement between Cot. Tyler, of the seventh Ohio regiment, at the head of 2,000 Virginian troops, and Gov. Wise, at the head of 7,000 rebels, at Bullstown, in which J 600 of our men and 1500 of the enemy were killed. Wise is retreating. If this report I be true, the campaign in Western Virginia is virtually ended. Incident £>f the Battle. In tbe thickest o:the contest a Secession Colonel of Cavalry Was knocked out of his | saddle by a ball lroi one of our riflemen. — ! "There goes Old Baker, of the Georgia First !" shouted onfcf our boys, in bearing of his chaplain. 1 lho?" queried the par- j son. " Col. Baker, f the Rebel ranks, has just gone to his longjiome !" "Ah ! well," | replied the chaplainjjuietly, " tho longer I live the less cause I lave to find fault with the inscrutable nets c Divine Providence I" { An unlucky privult in one of the N. York regiments was woundd in this fight, and his father arrived at tbj hospital just as the j surgeon was removinjthe ball from the back ' of his shoulder. Thdboy lay with his face downward on the palet. "Ah I my poor son," said the father,uournfully,." I'm very eorry fcr you. But jt'B a bad place to be hit in—thus in the back I" The sufferer turned over, bared his braaßt and uointed to the opening above the arm-pit, exclaiming, "Father, here's where the ball went in!" One of the Zouaves was struck by a can non shot, which tore through his thigh close to his body, nearly severing the limb from tbe trunk. As he Jell, he drew his photo graph from his bread", and said to his near est comrade, " Taki this to my wife. Tell ner I died like a soviet, faithful to my coun try's cause, and thb good old flag. Good | bye!" and be died vbere he fell." An artillery man lay on the ground, near ly exhausted from lots of blood, and too weak (o get out of the vvaj of tbe tramping troops and horses that fiitttd about Litn.

The trooper ! leaped over him, a shell broke near by, and tbe crashing fragments put the sufferer quickly out of his mbery. A Rebel—one of t.io Georgia regiment— | lay with a fearful slot-wouQd in his side, | which tore out several ribs. Tbe life-blood ; of the poor fellow was fast oozing out, when one of our troops dastjed forward from out of the melee, and fell, shjrply wounded, close beside him. The Georgian recognized his uniform, though lie vas fatally hurt, and feebly held out his bind, "We came into this battle," he said, enemies. Le' us die friends. Farewell." He spoke no more ; but his companion in disaster took the ex tended hand, and escapid to rela.te the touch ing fact. One of our riflemen had his piece carried away by a ball, which struck it out of his bands, just as his company was in the act of advancing to storm one of the smaller Rebel j batteries. Unarmed, he sprang forward and j threw himself down on his face, under the ' enemy's guns. A Zouave lay there, wound- j ed and bleeding, out of the way of the mur. j derous fire. " Lay close—lay close, old boy," said the latter to the new comer. Theboys'll take this ole furnace'D a minDit, and then j we'll git up, an' give the Rebels fits ag'inl'. Three minutes afterwards, the batterv was j carried, and the two soldiers were in the ! thickest of the fight again. A reporter ior one ot the j\ew lork pa- j pers lost his carriage, and when the stam- j pede occurred he ran about, confused, in 1 search of the missing vehicle, without suc cess. lie saw the dust increasing, and the means of conveyance home rapidly decreas ing.

Two of the New Hampshire Second were leaving tie field through the woods, when they were suddenly confronted by five Rebels, who ordered them to "halt! or we fire." The Granite boys saw their dilemma, but the foremost of them presented his musket, and answered, " halt you, or ice fire!" and, at the woid, both discharged their pieces.— The Rebel fell, his assailant wae unharmed. Seizing his companion's musket, he brought it to his shoulder, and said to the other, "fire!" both fired their guns at once, and two more Rebels fell. The others fled.

The whole army, s.ive three companies of the Massachusetts Second Regimen'., are ly ing on the other side of the Putomr c. - Gen. Banks las his head-quarters at a fuvnt house, ahout two miles below ihe Fer ry, IDs disposition of troops and manage ment of the army has, so far, given great satisfaction to both officers and men. A man of intelligence, from near Winches ter, came in last night, lie says that not less than forty dead and a hundred wounded were carried from Sirasburg (the northern terminus of the MaDassas Junction Railroad) towards Winchester, after the battle of Bull Run. Most of these were from the neigh borhood of CharlestjWD, Martitysburg and Winchester.] A company from tbe neighbothood of Romney, under the commaud of Captain Greville, were so totally cut up that they are entirely disorganized. The captain ran at the first charge, saving he could stand bul i lets but not bayonots. The Second Virginia Regiment, under Colonel Allen, was also nio.-t seriously cut up. He also represents that tte men are dissatisfied with their officers, and are un willing to go further ; recruits caDnot be made in the valley of Virginia. There are no troops at Winchester but drafted militia, ; who eseape and return to their homes as : rapidly as they are brought in.

I It is rumored that four Field Officers are to i be court roartialed for unsoldierlike conduct on the battle field at Bull Run last week.— One is charged with taking refnge behind a stump during the fight; another with out flanking a haystack, and gaining its rear : while the two last " occupied" the back of a j horse, and fled ingloriously, as their regi ments were engaged in fightiDg, Who Commenced the War. This question is being discussed in the United States Senate. If it is for the pur pose of allowing Senators the privilege of expressing their patriotic sentiments, there can be no objection, although the time con sumed in the discussion could be better ap propriated. If it is to decide the question for the satisfaction of any particular class of people, tho time is uselessly consumed, and the argumants used all wasted on the people who hear or are to read the discussions, ihe history of the rebellion proves as clearly who commenced the assault, as it proves i;s ob jects and designs. South Carolina seceded and at once commenced besieging the forts in Charleston harbor. When Anders Oß evacuated Fort Moultrie and sought a strong hold in Fort Sumter, the war was commen ced by the rebels, who attacked the latte r fort, reduced it, sought the disgrace of our flag by insisting oc the conditional surrender of those who were engaged in the defence of the laws by protecting that fort, and thus commenced the war on the federal authority. After the gallant Anderson and his comrades had beeD removed to the ships of the UnioD, Jtff. Davis, the rebel President, announced the victory bv sommoning a hundred thoqs sand rebels to his standard, and proclaiming that the war had been commenced by the traitors, who had gained the first victory. This is the history of the rebel movement in its assault on the government, bat who cares now as to the party who struck the first blow. We know that for thirty years tho treason that is now developed was being matured in the south. We know that every southern politician of the ultra democratic school, has since proven that the zeal with which the south clung to the democratic organization of the north, was for tne pur pose of gaining power and possessing tbem selves of resources to back up and sustain the rebellion in which they are now engaged. The south has been striking blows at the Uoion for torty years. Its free trade ten dencies were part of the mean programme,— The war with Mexico was a step in the grand drama. Its previous annexion of Tex as was to gain an aseei dency in the Sena'e. The election of J imes Buchanan was ihe last act in the dastardly conspiracy. Yet in the face of a'l this—with the smell of nullifica tion in its nostrils and the blood of loyal men on its hands, the south proclaims that the federal authorities struck the rirst blow. If i they did, they had cause for doing so—but ! as they did not, they have double caue for | pushing forward their operations for the sup ! pression of this rebellion. Nothing under ' Heaven hut a total annihilation of those who ! are engaged in it, will destroy the rebelli' n. 1 Let this be remembered, while wo are re ! mombering those who struck the first rebel lious blow at the American Union.— Tel. The Battle ot Bull Run. The more we regard and ponder the lasts connected with the battie of Bull Hun, the more we examine its results as a whole, the more we are forced to regard it as a victory instead of a defeat, notwuhsrnndit g so many of the circumstances attending its ounciusion conspire to exhibit if in an unfavorable light. The main point against us now is, that a porituu *f the troops became pantcized and fled or retreated from the field. Tuis is true in detail, but in fact the retreat is not so dis graceful as many good eiiizens have been unreluctantly forced to suppose, simply be cause that retreat was after having accom plished the most stupendous results, both in the assault of batteries, the destruction of entrenchments, and the actual de/eat ol Beauregard and Johnston. Before ttie di vision of Johnston uad reached the scene of action, it will be remembered that General Beauregard had been deieated, driven fron: Bull Bun to his entrenchments at Manasses Gap, and even stormed there by our gallant and victorious troops. It was while Beaure gard was in that position, that J ohnston made his appearance on the field and was also de ieated—defeated fairly end almost terribly, and this, too, when both Beauregard and Johnston attempted to firm and consolidate their columns, the raeu under McDowell, turned on the forces under Beauregard and again defeated him. At this juncture the contusion occurred which panic ked the en tire fedeiat force. The civilians, on whom this disgrace must forever rest, began to re treat, on horseback, in coaches ar.d on foot, their movements at once discovered by the teamsters, who also began to fly, and who in turn iofused the panic into the nrmv, and then began the retreat "which lost us the credit of a victory that bad been fairly achieved. We desire that these facts be fairly set be fore the eorld that the reputation of the fed eral forces does not suffer injury from mis representation. Men never acted nobler, than did those who struggled before the masked batteries of the enemy. They pos sessed and held successively certain baffpr ies eight times, and on each re u'se return ed to tho assault with a vigor and zeal that would have done credit to veterans. They withstood the most blanching and destruc tive fire, and regiment after regiment only left the field after each was convinced that the battle was irretrievably lost, and that re treat, in good order, was the better part of valor. There is no doubt that the retreat has giv en immense satisfaction to the rebels, as it has to their sympathizers in the loyal States. It was unfortunate at the time that it occur red, but under all circumstances, taking the coufusion of the civilians and the panic of the teamsters, the people can justly reserve part of the censure they were so prone to heap upon the troops, for some of their own derilictioos in the hour of danger and em barrassment — Harrisburg Telegraph. ANOTHER FIGHT. ROLPA, MO., July 27. A fight took place ou Thursday, on Lane's Prairie, fifteen miles from here, between a party of sixty-five rebels and fifteen Home Guards from B.olla. The Guards were sur-ounded, but they made a determined stand and alter a few vol leys, dispersed the rebels, killing their First Lieutenant and mortally woundiDg three privates.

The Body of Colonel Cameron. W ASIIIXGTON', July 28, 1861. Henry Birch, a well known slave dealer, and said to be a rank Secessionist, who drove Harry Magraw and Arnold Harris to Bull's Run, for the purpose of recovering the body of Colonel Jas. Cameron, returning this evening. He says they drove out the day they left left Washington to the battle field, and that the bodies were still lying about on the ground untouched, but none could be identified as Col. Cameron's. They also ; visited all hospitals, but could see or hear nothing of the remains, but received positive information that he was killed. They then all went down to the Manasses Junction, meeting with no serious interruption. At that point Magraw, who was well acquaint- j ed with the rebel commander, Gen. Johnston, j sent for him. After some delay, a file of rebel soldiers came up and took the party prisoners. Johnston would not hold com munication with them. Jefferson Davis was telegraphed at Rich mond to know what disposition to make of them. An answer came back, "send Ma graw and Harris here, and release Birch." Birch was accordingly released today.— He says he heard nothing from Harris and j Magraw until yesterday, when he received j a message from them that they were in jail in Richmond—that Harris would probably i escape soon, but that Magraw .vould be j kept until the war was over or he was ex - ! changed. Birch says the rebels have only burried about eighty of the dead, and they were all thrown into one pit. They, left our corpses lying all over the fields, woods and ravir.fcs untouched, except to take off what clothing they wanted. Reinforcements for the army in the depar'- ment of Washington are pouring in from all directions. A computation was made at the War Department to-day that there were, at that moment, on the road hither from vari ous points, thirty thousand five hundred solliers. The three years men who have arrived here are generally better disciplined than those who have just gone out of the service. Gov. Sprague says that one of his batteries is lost, and that he ruined the insides by shooting^files out and then spiking them.— That they are not worth anything except for old iron. It was a part Griffin's and Sherman's batteries that Einstein saved. — The seige guns are all lost. Our total loss of guus is 17. The activity of the Provost Marshall's Patrol, and the strict orders issued in refer ence to soldiers straggling from their camps have cleared from the streets the disoj derly mob by which they were filled for several days after the battle at Bull's Run. WASHINGTON, July 30, It. is stated here that reports were sent out yesterday that the rebels were shelling Washington. Let not the public he alarmed about any such absurd rumors. Washing tin is perfectly sate. The fortifications on the Virginia side nro as near impregnable as need be ; and if Johnston or Lee should cross the Potomaoat L -eshurg or vicinity, to try to make a decent on this side, they would SOOE wish themselves back again. Thev have no transportation for a large army, and be'ore they could approach the cij we could have a lorce double theirs <o repel them. The reports of prisoners escaped from the rebel camp at Manassas represent gieat ac tivity there, and evidently some movement is contemplated; but General McClel an will be prepared for it. The army officers represent the troops now here as far better fitied for a fight than those engaged at Bull Run last week. G neral Tyler is particular ly sanguine about bis division. Armv officers engaged in the battle of Sunday week assure me that our loss; in killed, wounded and missing, does not ex eetd 1,500. The killed are no where stated higher than 500. The rebel loss must have double ours, as they lose many of their best officers. Justice has not been done in the reports sent hence, to the services, of soms of our Pcncsylvanians in the big battle. (Lionel lleinizleman. Col. Andrew Porter, and Col. William B. Franklin, all behaved splendid ly. After Hunter was wounded ,Col. Porter took command of his division, and did as much as any other man in the whole army to we our credit. Col. Franklin distinguish ed himself also. Other Pennsylvania offi cers, who acted most gallantly, have been passed over in the reports of the various cor respondents of the eastern papers. The of ficial reports will doubtless do them justice. There seems to be no doubt that the re mains of Col. Cameron were buried by the rebels on the tattle field. Another messen ger is to be sent to-day, who hopes to be able to have it disinterred and brought back to Washington. .Col. Anderson, the hero of Fort Sumpter, is here and was to-day in consultation with the officials at the war department. Conflagration at Pittsburg. PITTSBURG, July 30. The Duqaesne depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company accidentally took fire, at about half-past three o'clock this afternoon, and was entirely consumed, together with all i of its contents. The fire is supposed to have originated in the basement where about 3000 barrels of petroleum oil were deposited. The flames spread so rapidly that it was impossible to arrest their progress or save anything in the building, and in a quarter of an hour the entire structure wa3 a sheet of flames. It is supposed all the oil was consumed, together with ten freight cars and goods, whose value is supposed not to exceed SSOOO. Tha depot was valued at SIOO,OOO. It was built in 1855. The amount of insurance is large ; but has not yet beeu ascertained, j All the houses in the rear alley, mostly | occupied by poor families, numbering per j haps twenty, and several dwellings on Penn ' and Leberty streets were also burnt. ! The Railroad Company have taken proper measures to erect a temporary building until i the depot can be rebuilt, and no inconveni | ence will result to the business of the Corns ' pany from this disaster. DIED. On the 2lst ult., at her residence in Howard, ELIZA TIPTI.N\ of Cancer, aged about 41 years. She was well known, and much beloved. Her sufferings were great, hut patiently endured. She died as she had lived—a devoted Christian. With such, to die is gain. T. H. S. [From (he Harrisburg Telegraph.] In Harrisburg, at the residence of Mrs Small, in Chestnut street, A. GRBBO NBFF, 0 f Centre county. The deceased was a volunteer in the army that lately returned from the South, where he had con tracted a disease which has resulted thus fatally He was young in years, hut of a most gallant and fcarlus disposition, loving his country as he did his God, and serving both zealously, earnestly, and with all the faith and power of an ardent sol dier of freedom. During his sickness in this city, his only solicitude seemed to be for his country.— For that he prayed, beseeching Heaven's interpo sition in behalf of those who were struggling that we might be permitted to continue free as a people and great and powerful as a government. The hope and desire of the dying soldier in this particular was of a character that evinced his love of liberty, his devotion to his nation, and the in tensity and earnestness of his character. The young soldier was most tenderly nursed and cared for by the lady at whose house he died. To these attentions the wife of Governor Curtin also contributed, and was present at the bedside cf the dying soldier, ministeriDg to his wants un til his departing breath faintly knelled the truth of his death. There are a venerable father nnd mother in Centre county, to whom the assurnnce that their only son contributed his life to the service of his country, amid the blessings and attentions and tears of those who also fee! as mothers, must be a soothing consolation when the sad news of his death reached them in their mountain home. • •£*■ We with it perfectlß understood that KM will insert the name of no man as a candidate for office unless that name be accompanied by One Dol lar and Fifty Cent".
