CLEVELAND, Aug. 2, I£6L
Lieut Burgess of the seventh regiment, and
the Cleveland Plainden/er's correspondent, wri
ting from Bulltown, Va., under date of July
28th, says that Gen Tyler reached Bulltown
that day ami-found that the rebels had fled.
Gen. Tyler advanced to Flatwoods, but the
rebels still fled. Hearing there that Geu. I
Cox had driven Gov. Wise from Charlestown, ;
Gen. Tyler eousidered Gov. Wise completely :

Gen. Pillow, who is in command, promised
Gov. Jackson to plate 20,000 men in Missou
ri at ouce. He has issued a proclamation,
foil of wind aud bombast, to the people of
Missouri, declaring his intention to drive the
invaders from the State, and enable her peo
ple to regaiu those rights so ruthlessly taken
away by the forces who march under banners
inscribed with " Beauty and Booty" as the re
ward of victory. Ho says that he will show

CAIRO, Ang. 2J
Gen. Fremont and staff", and a fleet of eight
steamers and four regiments of infantry; also,
several detached companies of infantry, and
two compauies of artillery, all equipped, ar
rived here at sp. m. They were enthusiasti
cally received by the soldiers jind citizens.
A salute was fired by the battery and at
Fort Prentiss. The troops were landed at
Bird's Point, swelling the force at that camp
to about 8,000. No news from the rebel
camp to-day.
(WASHINGTON, Aug 1.
Official despatches have beeu received here
from Gen. Cox's command in western Virgin
ia. Wise and his rebel forces have been com
pletely routed. At the lust account they
were in full retreat.
WASHINGTON, Aug. I—P. M.
There is no dobut about General Cox's
victory. He captured about one thousand
stand of musket and several kegs of powder.
Gen. Wise was retreating and burning the
bridges behind him. The official dispatch
adds the following :
" Many who have hitherto been strong se
cessionists, denounce Gen. Wise for his wan
tor. destruction of property, and are abandon
ing him and his cause. The westeren troops
are disbanding, and the valley of the Kana
wha is free from the rebel force.
A SECESSION "GEM.—A " Secesh " jour
nal—the Crescent, edited by " Colonel "L. G.
FAXON, of Columbus, Kentucky—thus speaks
of the Herganus, a portion of Gen. PRENTISS,
command, at Cairo :
When the bow legged, wooden-sboed, sonr
krout stinking, bologna sausage-eating, hen
roost robbing Dutch sons of from Cairo
had accomplished the brilliant feat of taking
down the secession flag on the liver bank,they
were pointed to another flag of the same sort,
which was flying gloriously and defiantly about
two squares distant, (and wnich their guns did
not cover,) and defied, yea, double be black
dog dared (as we used to say at school to take
that flag down. The cowardly pups, the sheep
dogs, the sneaking skunks dare not do so be
cause those twelve pieces of artillery were not
bearing upon it. And these are the people
who are seut by Liucoln to " crush out " the
South I
THE WAY WE ARE CHEATED. —New revela
tions of the rascality of contractors are de
veloping every day. A gentleman just re
turned from Fortress Monroe showed us yes
terday a specimen of the kind of stuff which
has beenjpalmed off upon the government in way
of shoes. This is nothing less than shoe with
a wooden inner sole. The wood is planed
down to the thickness of a shingle, is covered
with a strip of leather, and made to resemble
the "genuine article." The consequence is,
that as soon as the outer sole is worn through
the shoe becomes worthless, and the unfortu
nate wearer goes about with what appears to
"be a lot of splinters iu his feet.— Albany Jour
nal.
TAX ON PROPERTY OF UNITED STATKS CITI
7ENS IN MONTGOMERY. —At a meeting of the
Montgomery (Ala.) City Council, on the Ist
of July, the following ressolution was adopted.
Resolved, That a tax be and is hereby lev
ied on all property belonging to alien pnemies
living out of Confederate States, both real
and personal, said tax to amount to five per
cent on assessed value of real estate in the
city limits ; on personal property consisting
of negroes, a tax of $lO on negro men, $lO on
women, $5 on children, and where it consists
of stock ia corporation, a tax of eight per
cent and that the Clerk be instructed to col
lect said tax.
JUST RETRIBUTION —There was an instance
of just retribution for treason at Rich Moun
tain. The Hon. John Hughes of Beverly, a
member of the Virginia Secession Convention
at Richmond, heard by some means that our
troops were endeavoring to turn the flunk of
the Rebels. He mounted a horse aud sped
up the hill rapidly, to carry the information to
Col. Pegrara. When near the summit lie was
hailed by pickets. Supposing they were Fed
eral pickets, hejcried out, " Hold, I am a
Northern man." The next instant he fell in
to the road a corpse, riddled by thiriy balls,
lie had lied, and his own friends, the Rebels,
whom he was striving to save, believing they
were killing an euemy, pnt an end to his ca
reer.
THE SUPPLIES CAPTURED AT BULL RUN.—
The Southern papers inform ns that Jeff.
Davis, on his arrival at Richmond, informed
the public that they had captured provisions
enough to keep au nrmy of fifty thousand men
for a whole year. Yet, in the face of that
statement, we find that two days after the bat
tle Beauregard was so hard pressed for pro
visions that he sent out foragiug parties in
every direction, with orders to talre by force
what they could not get otherwise. The peo
ple he saysj must feed the army. From this
order we must either admit that one year has
elapsed since the battle, or else Jeff. Davis
has told what the people out West call a
" whopper."

CONGRESSIONAL. —Several important meas
ures were passed through the Senate on Fri
day, with a unanimity which shows the de
termined spirit by which our legislators are
animated. Among the bills passed was one
providing for the building of an iron bridge
over the Potomac, one ordering a Hoard of
Commissioners to examine the compensations
of all officers of the Government, one to pun
ish fraud in Government contracts, one to de
fine and punish conspiracy, and one to provide
lor the suppression of rebellion; besides a
joint resolution declaring that the supremacy
and integrity of the Union must be maintain
ed. Mr. Keuuedy presented a memorial from
the Mayor and citizens of Baltimore, com
plaining of the Government interference with
the police there. The resolution for the main
tenance of the supremacy of the Union was
passed with only one dissenting voice—that
of Mr. Breckiuridge. The bill to provide rev
enue was discussed, but was finally disposed of
when the Senate went into Executive Session.
In the House, after a discussion of some
length in reference to the day of final adjourn
ment, which led to no definite conclusion, the
| Direct Tax bill was taken op in Committee of
the Whole. Various amendments were pro
posed and discussed, but the Committee final
ly rose without voting, and the House soon af
terward adjourned.
teD"* Major General McClellan reached
Washington on Friday week, and immediate
ly proceeded to euter upon a vigorous prose
cution of the duties of his great command,
which includes the army on both sides of the
Potomac. The Washington Chronicle says
the arrival of Major General G. B, McClel
lan, as commander of the department of the
Potomac, will go far to re assure our soldiers
and give to the people of the metropolis a
feeling of confidence and security. The Gen
i eral is a modest, brave aud unpretending man.
He has made himself a great name in West
ern Virginia, and in the conduct of his cam
paign has exhibited the finest qualities of the
soldier and tactician. He is uo politician, and
is free from the selfishness of the partisan or
| the ambition of the partisan leader.
tea"" Father O'Reilly, chaplain of the G9th
i Regiment, states that at the battle of Bull's
Run, while in the aet of administering the
1 last consolations of religion to a dying rebel
1 soldier, and while clothed in his official robes,
i he was fired upon several limes by the seces
sionists. One bullet went through his hat,
two others 6truck his coat, A party of the
Black Horse Cavalry then rode at him, to
slay him, just as he fiuished his sacred mis
sion, ami it was with the greatest difficulty
that he escaped. Neither he nor Father
Mooney ever carried wenpons.
FOREIGN OFFICERS IN THE UNITED STATES
SERVICE. —Several officers of distinction, who
have served in Coniinetal armies, have been
accepted by the Government. A few of them
\ have but lately arrived here. Among these
are Baron Iladowitz, late Lientcuant of the
Royal Guard'of Prussia, and Baron Harden
berg from the Graud Duchy of Baden, where
he was for many years an officer of the Staff.
General Asboth, of Hungarian distinction, and
Colonel De Ahsa, from the army of Garibal
di, are abo ut to proceed West with General
Fremont. Two other emineut Prussian offi- j
cers are also said to be coming to this coun
try for a similar purpose—Prince Felix Salm,
late of the Austrian service, and Captain Von
Scliaek, of the Prussian Royal Guards.
A flag of truce, sent from Washing
ton on Thursday by the hands of Messrs.
Gorman, Applegate, and Sterling, for the
purpose of obtaining the body of Col. Cam
eron, returned without being successful. The
objection made to the message it covered was
that it was addressed "to whom it may
concern," instead of a Rebel oflker. A flag
from the Rebels has reached Washington,
covering a message to the effect that Col.
| Cameron's body bad been buried, and would
be at the order of his friends when they should
go for it, subjected tocertain conditions, which
| conditions are not stated.
THE FAMILIES OF YOI.STNTF.ERS. — It is sug
! gested in a New York pajier, and the sugges
tion is worthy of consideration, that married
j men iu the army be required to allot two-thirds
of their pay for the benefit of their wives and
children. Such a rule exists in the navy and
is found to work admirably. If it were adopt
ed in the army much of the dissipation now
attendant upon camp life would be done away
with, while a good share of the destitution at
1 home, of which we hear so much,. would be
I removed.
Hickman, of Pennsylvania, in
troduced a bill in Congress to define and pun
ish conspiracy, which was, of course, opposed
by Mr. Yallatidigham, of Ohio, and Mr. Bur
nett, of Kentucky. The bill, however, pass
ed, and the probability now is that certain
men who are covertly aiding treason, may sud
denly find themselves entangled in the meshes
of the law, when they can invoke the aid of
habeas corpus if they desire to do so, as cer
tain men have recently fallen so desperately
in love with that ancient writ.
JCtS™ Several of the scoundrels who threw
up their commissions in the United States
Army to take service with the rebels, have
been taken prisoners. If there is any legal
process by which they can be specially pun
ished—by hanging or otherwise—it would be
exceedingly gratifying to the people.
COLONEL/>F THF. 79TH.—Gov. Stevens has
been appointed Colonel of the 70th (Highland)
Regiment of New York, which Col. Cameron
commanded. Gov. Stevens was a distinguish
ed officer in the Mexican war, and stands high
; as an efficient and thoroughly trained soldier.
1 His designation to this post is on important
acquisition to the personnel of the army.
The Government is determined to put
| the army in a condition which will make an
| other failure out of the question. All officers
will be examined by a competent Board, and
all found unGt for their positions will be re
moved, to be succeeded by those who can fill
their places. The forces will be completely
organized.
GOOD FROM EVIL. —The defeat of the Union
army at Manassas has kindled anew the mil
itary spirit of the country, and new regiments
by the score are being tendered to the l'resi
den t. The appointment of Gen. M'CI.KI.I.AN
to the command of the Graud Army hns in
fused life into the old regiments, nnd
everything •indicates that when the next for
ward movement takes place it will be attended
with the best results. The greatest activity
prevails in the k War Department, and every
tbiDg betokens the most extensive arrange
ments to subdue the rebellion.
THE PENNSYLVANIA TROors. —The entire
force of the reserve regiments of Pennsylvania
is p'aced under the command of Geueral
McCall, by order of General McCleilaii.—
Eleven thousand of the reserves have been sent
forward. There is only remaining a regiment
of infantry, with artillery attached. The lat
ter comprise forty eight guns, partially rifled,
and range from thirty-two pounders to six
pounders. The first battery goes South in
command of Lieutenant Colonel Campbell. A
cavalry regiment is almost ready ; the men are
in camp, aud as soon as they are mounted they
will be sent to the main body.
ENOS BLOSSOM, Esq., of the Brainard House
who was present at the battle of Manassas, in
company with D. P. S. Brown, Esq., aud
Hon. ALFRED ELY, of Rochester, returned to
Eimira on Tuesday evening, having made an
hairbreadth escape fron the rebels. He was
with Mr. ELY when the latter was mado pris
oner, and only effected his escape by strenuous
exertions, making a run of four or five miles.—
Other Elmirans who were present at the bat
tle, have not yet been heard from, and intense
anxiety is felt by our citizens for tbeir welfare.
—Elmira Press.
A WOUNDED ZOUAVE. — A Zouave was ob
served setting on the side of the road, having
his hand nearly severed from his wrist by a
ball, which he was endeavoriog to wring off
the sinews. As the soldiers were passiug him
he was observed to elevate his band to his
month, as if to bite it off. With an oath he
remarked that " New York was game," which
were probably the last words spoken by him,
as he was fast sinking from loss of blood when
last seeu.
The Next Battle Ground.
•
There are several indications which make
it probable that the Dext scene of conflict will
be in the vicinity of the mouth of the Ohio
River. For some time past the rebels have
been gathering troops in that neighborhood,
and it is believed that a very considerable force
is now within striking distance of the Federal
fortifications at Cairo. It is not unlike'y that
a concerted attack may be made from the
Missonri side above, from the river below, and
from the Ohio on the east. Steamboats have
recently been moving very busily on the Mis
sissippi between Memphis, Tenn., and New
Madrid in Missonri, about fifty miles below
Cairo, carrying troops and supplies to the lat
ter place, and a large camp of secessionists has
been found in that neighborhood, and it is re
potted that another expedition has been form
ing near Paducah, which is at the month of
the Tennessee river on the Ohio, sixty miles
above Cairo.
In the Southern part of the State of Mis
souri there is a considerable rebel force, from '
that State and from Arkansas, so that it is
evident that they have men enough to make a
formidable army, if they be well armed and '
supplied ; and inasmuch as many of them are
persons of the most desperate character, there
can be very little doubt that they will make a
fierce fight whenever they come in contaet with
the Government troops. Such an enterprise
as is here indicated is very probable, for it is
one in whicb those backwoodsmen wonld
heartily engage ; but there is nothing to be
feared. The woiksatCairobave been strength
ened, and are prepared for any attack which
may be made upon them by the rude ami ir
regular troops concentrated in that neighbor
hood. It is not probable that the rebels can
bring ordnance afloat capable of encountering
those in the works at Cairo ; and it is only by
the use ot heavy and efficient cannon that any
serious impression could be made.
In all the battles which have yet been fought
the Government troops have had to attack the
rebels on their chosen ground ; and should
they now have the temerity to change the pro
gramme, they will undoubtedly suffer severely
for it. The mouth of the Ohio is a place of
great strategical importance, and it is not un
likely that the insurgents suppose that by con
centrating an overwhelming force, and making
a combined attack from different points, they
may succeed in taking it; Gut they will find tne
work a more difficult one than they have antici
pated ; and, however auxious they may be to
possess it, their wish will no-t,l>e gratified.
We shall not be surprised at any moment
to hear of lively work iu tbat quarter— Phil.

HEAVY OPERATION OR A JUVENILE ELMIRA
SCAMP. —Something over a week ago a boy
about 14 years of age, by the name of Agnes,
who has " come up" in this village, started
out on a peddling expedition, lie soon
reached the neighborhood of Jouuy Cake Hol
low, just below Wellsburg, and in the prose
eution of his business entered the premises of
David Gardner, a well to do gentleman resid
ing there. Mr. Garduer had some $1,504) in
monev iu the house, and the young peddltr,
who had his eves about, trot a glance of the
funds at a mom nt when M '. Gardner had occa
sion to open his ule. Watching his opportu
nity soon after, w hen Mr. Gardner was out
of the room, the young peddler " froze" to
some $7OO of the money and "slid." He
took three one hundred dollar bills,two hundred
and ninty dollars in gold und over a hundred
dollars iu small bills on tlie Owego Bunk.
Mr. Gardner did not discover his loss until
next day, when he set out in search of the
thief. He first obtained track of him at
Wellsburg, where he hud supplied himself lib
erally with "line raiment." At Elmira he
was led to believe the boy had gone south
ward, and in a conversation with Conductor
La.-ky Cost, he ascertained that such was
the case. Conductor Post had been struck
with the appearance of the boy when on the
train, and asked him where lie was going.—
The hoy replied, " To Washington to see the
lighting." Mr. Post questioned whether lie
had money enough to pay the expenses of
such a trip, lint the juvenile scamp quieted
his doubt on that point by exhibiting a band
fu'l ol gold.
Mr Gardner proceeded to Washington,
and was forlnnafe etiong to find the boy and
a large part of the money. The boy admit
ed everything, and came with Mr. Gardner to
donny Cuke Hollow. He was yesterday lodg
ed in jail, and will undoubtedly meet with the
punishment which hk crime deserves.
Mr. Gardner after paying the cost of his
t rip to Washington and other necessary ex
-1 penses finds himself short about $:>00. He
was very fortunate, under the circumstances,
| to recover a single dollar of the amount ta
ken.—Elmira Advertiser.
FAI.I. OK THE INSIDE OF A CHURCH —The
Presbyterian Church at Nineveh, in this county,
which was built about ten years ago, at a cost
of about $1,500 and was considered perfectly
sound and secure, met with a very singular
mishap last (Monday) night. All the timbers,
' braces, Ac., below the perline plates, with the
whole lath and plastering, fell with a jtremen
dons crash, covering the pulpit and pews with
the wreck. This is a singular occurence, (as
builders will understand) and one not " noted
in the books." On examination of the timbers
they were all found sound. The damage to the
church is estimated at least $5OO. — Bin. Rep.
CIREADFUL SUICIDE —On Monday morning
last, as the passengers were prepairing to take
cars at Boonville, N. Y , for Utiea, a gentle
man, who seemed to be about 70 years of age,
in presence of the crowd at the depot, deliber
ately drew a razor front his pocket and cut
his throat, and then quietly stepped forward
to let the blood flow into the road rather than
on the platform. So paralyzed were the pas
sengers at this unexpected horror that before
he was interfered with the wretched man drew
the razor a second time across his throat. Ei
ther cut appeared to be fatal. He was a
citizen of high respectability, living in the
neighborhood of Boonville, and no cause can
be assigned for the act.
SS?-Gen. Butler is so much in earnest in his
zeal for the promotion of temperance nnd dis
cipline in the forces under his command that
he not only staves the whisky barrels and
drives the grogselling suttlers out of camp,but
he insists upon his officers pledging themselves
not to touch the pernicious cop, and byway
of example, banishes it from his own quarters.
I he demoralizing effects of free drinking upon
his soldiers have admonished him that he must
take measures accordingly, and we cougratn
late the General that he lIHS gone the right
wav about it. 4\ e trust his example mßy be
imitated by other commanding officers.
Prince Napoleon in Philadelphia.
PfiM.APZi.rHrA, Aug. 1.
Prince Napoleon and five member* of Iris
suite, aud servants, arrived from New \ ork
at 10 o'clock last evening, and took rooms at
the La Pierre House. Their srrival waa
noised abroad at a late hour, but the quiet
manner in which the party made their move
ments prevented it from beinj? loudly pro
claimed. The party rested last evening, and
to-day are visiting some of our most promin
ent institutions in a private way. But little
can be learned of tbeir future movr merits be- ;
yond the fact that they will leave for Wash-;
ington city tomorrow At the National
Capital they will be the guests of the Prcsi- j
dent.
II airbreadth Escape. —One of the members
of Capt. lull's Pelio Van Company, has j
returned home on furlough, granted by (Jen.
Scott. He was wounded at the battle before!
Manassas, aud his escape from the rebels was i
miraculous. He was wounded in the shoul
der and th : gh. and his clothing was complete-1
ly riddled by bills. When his company com- j
rnenced their retreat, he was unable to keep
up with them and fell exhausted upon the
field. After lying alone with the dead and
dying for some time, he discovered a troop of
Rebel horseman approaching, when his Inst
hope seemed gooe—they were coming directly
towards him, bayonettiug the wounded, wher
ever they exhibited any signs of consciousness.
He mariuged to drag himself a few paces,
aud get hold of a loaded gun resolved that if
discovered he would shoot one of them at
least. When within about foity rods of him
the troopers hulled, aud commenced search
ing tlie clothing of the dead, for plunder.—
They gradually seperated until but one horse
man remained in sight, and the pour fellow's
hcurt throbbed with renewed hope. The reb
el made directly toward him, aud when almost j
upon him the " Union" man suddenly recov- j
ered from a feign death, and shot the trooper
dead. Not a rebel was now insight, and hope
inspired the brave fellow with strength to reach
the horse, which he mounted, after relieving
the dead trooper of two valuable watches aud
oth t plunder which he had stolen from the,
dead soldiers. He made his way directly to
his camp, where his wounds were attended to:
and subsequently received a furlough, and
came home to Peim Van to "recruit," These
particulars we obtained from a reliable citizen
of Milport, who heard the story from the
wounded man, and was shown tie watches,
etc. lie had forgotten his name We shall 1
doubtless see it in the Penu Van [rapers. — j

A Dkstiuctivf §howkr —The Owrgo (in
zet/e says: " Vesterday, the 31st ult., the]
north east part of the county was visited by
one of the most severe and destructive show- ]
ers of rain aud hail experienced for* many j
years. The weather had been hot and drv
for a number of days past, ami the atmosphtre |
had become sultry and depressing. It coin- j
me need raining between 9 and 10 o'clock a
M, and w.tli such severity as to raise the:
i streams, carrying away bridges, fences. Ac., !
tearing away embankments, obstructing roads,
<*nd doing vast injury to the many crops upon ;
the fields.
Several bridges between this Village and j
Specdsville were carried away as well as many I
on the Newark road. In this locality, though
it rained " right smart," it was by no means
destructive. Some idea of the vast amount
of water which must have fallen can be formed
from tbe fact, that in one hour's time Owego
Creek at this point, raised a triUe over two
feet."
" Bi.azf. away Mississippi an." —Dining one'
of the charges of the Fire Zouaves upon the I
Mississipai rifles, a Zouave and a M'ssissippian |
came in contact on an opon space, both with i
i discharged rifles. Simultaneously they at
temated to draw their revolvers, and the Mis
j sissippinn having succeeded before the Zouave
in drawing his, the latter cried out : " Blaze
away,.Mississippi,-in; I'll take the last shot." The
Mississippian did so, missing the Zouave, who,
having drawn his weapon, discharged it at his
i face, piercing his heart und instantly killing

Celebrated Threshing Machines,
EMERY'S ONE AND TWO HOUSE POWERS, are!
! too well and popularly known to need any description
] from me. and 1 will only say that tlu-y continue to de
i serve the reputation they have enjoyed for ten years of
being the " best Endless Chain Morse Power in use."
! These Powers possess conveniences aud advantages pos
i sessed by no other power.
EMERY'S NEW PATENT
THRESHER AND CLEANER
Tiiis a new Machine, and has not before been intro
i duced into this region. It lias no endless chain straw
| carrier, hut separates all kinds of grain thoroughly from
the straw, hy a Combination of Pitts' Endless Canvass
] Celled Apron, a new Improved Revolving Picker, and
] the well known Vibrating Riddle. It is a simple, durable
and efficient Machine, will thresh rapidly and clean tlior
j oughly, without wasting, all kinds of grain. It will not
I choke, run easily and steadily, without jumping, and is
warranted to he superior to the common Rake Cleaner
now in use. It remains only to be seen and tested, to be
i pronounced by every experienced hand at threshing, to
! I>e an admirably contrived aud constructed Thresher and
Cleaner.
EMERY'S IMPROVED THRESHERS & SEPARATERS,
I are not excelled by any in market, are well constructed,
