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.

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.

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.

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. Amoun ted horseman camt toward him when he raised the bleeding sumps of both his arnrs. and cried our, " don t tread on me, Capt'n ! ; See ! both hands ale gone." 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. So he jumped into a passing ambu lance, which drove rapidly off. lie tound his horse on tho rood above tho battle field, and jumped out of tlia- ambulance again just as a cannon ball passed through it, cutting a wounded man almost in helves ! lie declares, professionally, that " he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day !" 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 leader's name was Ilanford, from Dover, N. IL From Harper's Ferry. HARPER'S FERRY, July 30. 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. Tbey are | in complete disorder, with no dicipline pre i vailing- None of the enemy but guerilla scouts are seen anywhere in this region. Reinforcements, byway of Ilagerstown and Baltimore, are coming in so rapidly that the three months regiments will scarcely be missed. ' Field Officers to be Court Mar tialed. 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. One Lieutenant and two privates on our side were slightly wounded. JEFFERSON CITY, July 27. The detachment of two companies of Col, Milligan's regiment and three companies ot the Home Guards sent to Hickory Hill near Mount Pleasant, in Cole county, were fired j on from an ambush near that place, but no j one was bit. They captured twenty-eight ' rebels, among them two captains of Jacksons i forces; also, forty horses and two teams, which have been brought to this city.

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.
