SURVEYOR GENERAL, WIL LI A M S . ROSS, OF I.UZERNE COUNTY. WAR MEETING IN RIDGBURY. —We learn that WM. ELWELL and C. L. WARD, Esq's., will >peak on the subject of the War,at BENJ. HAINAN'S Hotel in Ridgbury, on Saturday nest, at 2 o'clock P. M. THE LATEST WAR NEWS. On Monday the most important orders issu ed since the beginning of the War were pro mulgated by order at .he President. The first calls lor an immediate draft cf 300.000 militia to serve for nine months unless soon'r dis charged. The second orders that if any State shall rot raise her quota of the 300,000 vol unteers called for last month,bj the 15th inst., the deficiency shall be made up at once by a special draff for that purpose. The third de. dares for a purgation cf the army in clearing out incompetent persons now holding commis sions, preventing the appointment cf any more such, and securing the promotion of such as may distinguish themselves by meritorious ser vices. On Saturday General McClellan moved a large force —mostly of Fitz Johu Porter's command —across the James, and on Sunday a scouting party went within fourteen miles o; Petersburg. Five miles from the river they encountered the 13th Virginia Cavalry in line. Our men charged on them, when the broke and rau. They drove thorn 'o their encamp iccnt, two and a half miles farther,where they again formed, but were put to flight, leaving behind all their tents, camp equipage, and commissary stores, which our troops gathered together and brnoc-d. The Rebels had six men wounded. A deputation of T , \jtern HIT. called upfln tlic President on Monday to teudcr the ser vices of two rcgimeula of colored soldiers.— Tbey were attenti 'ely beard, but the Presi dent positively declines to put arms in the hands negroes. He says it would be the signal for the lioider State to turn against the Union, and wo cannot afford to lose them, lie in tends to carry out the Emancipation and Con fiscation acts thoroughly, and press the war with the utmost vigor ; he will employ all slaves in any available maimer except as light ing mcu. Gen. Pope's reconuoitering party, under Gen. Crawford, on Friday 'ook possession of Orange Court llcuso, nine milts north of Cordonsville. The place was occupied by two regiments of Rebel cavalry, of whom 11 were killed and 52 taken p; isouers—among the lat tc-r one major, two captains, and two Li :;.ten ants. The railroad a.d telegraph toward Cordonsville were destroyed, Not long since, at Newbern, an attempt was made to assassinate a Union soldier act ing as right guard-man. Gen. Foster prompt ly arrested certain suspicious characters, ai.d destroyed six or seveu buildings in which they herded. Gen. Bnrnside's army has sailed away from Fortress Monroe, but not up the James River. An immense number of transports are gather ed ut Harrison's Landing, but for what pur pose we leave to conjecture. Three steamships arrived at Fortress Monroe ou Saturday mornirg, with released Rebel prisoners, about 3,090 in number from fort Delaware. ■. V \ A discovery has quite recently been rrnde says the I Vo:rhj Advocate, in the bed of a cove putting up from the Susquehanna Riv er on the farm of GE IBGE C. GORE,of Shcslie quin, Pennsylvania, of what promises to be a quite an interesting relic. It is a boat of large and ancient construction, built entirely of oak, aud put together with wrought iron nails. It is from two and a half to three feet in depth of hold, and, from present indications, from 30 ro 40 feet long. The sides are curved and terminate at the ends in a cut-water. The ac tioa of the water has uucovered a small por tion of it, the remninder is under quite a high batik of earth which has been formed over it, and ou which of considerable size have grown. The exposed end has been bro ken up some by the pilfering propensities of antiquarians and the destructive propensities of the boys. Could it have qeen exhumed en tire it would have been a curiosity worth pre serving. There is much speculation of course, as to its origin, use, aud even present contents.— Otir opiuion is that it was a transport-boat used by Gen. Sullivan's army in its somewhat celebrated expedition up the Susquehanna soon after the battle of Wyoming. Its pres ent contents consist, we think, of about a peck of greencorr, a saddle of venison and some twenty or thirty tons of sand. The pnek of artillery and other arms, which fancy has lo cated in its capacious hold, will hardly pay the labor of d ggiug it out. All volunteers for the old regiments get $4, instead of $2 premium. TROUBLE WITH KANSAS INDlANS. —Advices up to the 23d of July have been received at the Indian Bareau from the Kansas agency, which plainly show that trouble is brewing there, which if cot speedily ehecked, may in a short time terminate in open war. Within the last few weeks seven marder9 have been committed by a party of desperate men who have joined the baDd of Rebels under Quan trell. The body of one loyal citizen was bnrned with abont $2,500 worth of property. This same par y have a number of prominent men marked whose lives and property they have sworn to destroy, on account of which many leading citizens have left. The Indian agent there asks authority to enlist a company of Indians to protect the lives and property at that agency. He suggests that a company of Dragoons be stationed at Council Grove to range on the Santa Fe road to guard the mails and other public and private property. Hor ses have recently been taken from the mail stations. Gov. CURTIN. —Among the leading men of the times, says the Jefferson Star all must place Gov. Andrew G. Curtin. lie has been moved in his patriotic endeavors by the high est and purest motives. He has labored in cessantly from the outbreak of the rebellion with all his energies, and from his forethought the State was able to send into the field the celebrated reserve of 15,000 Pennsylvania soldiers. He has been chieCy instrumental in hav'ng the most ample provision made for the relief of the sick and wounded of this State. The Christian humanity of the Rebel-; was characteristically manifested at the great fire in Charleston. The jail of that city was I crowded with Union Prisoners. Every honse and everything in the neighborhood of the i jail was on fire, and the yard was filled with brands coming from the tuning buildings.— While the fire was raigiug in full fury, the prisoners, instead of being given a chance to save themselves from burning, were confined in separate cells. The fire destroyed every thing around the jail,and it was a aiiricle how that building escaped without sharing the same fate. It certainly was not the fault of the chivalrons citizens of Charleston that these unfortunate men were not roasted alive.—The persons in charge of the jail certainly iutended they should be. £>£?* GEO.

The Army to be Increased 600,000. AN IMMEDIATE DRAFT OF 300,000 MILITIA. WASHINGTON, Monday, Aug., 4, 1862. The following order, calling for Militia from the several States, lias just been issued : WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON. D. C., Aug. 4,15G2.

'ihe Secretary of War wil) establish regula ! tioiiß for this purpose. Third : Regulations will be prepared by War Department and presented to to the President, with the object of securing tha pro motion of cllkers of the army aud volunteers for meritorious and distinguished services, and of preventing the nomination and appointment in the military service of incompetent or un worthy t fbcers. The regulations will also provide for ridding the service of such incom petent persous as uow hold commissions. By order of the President. EDWIN M. STANTON, Sec'yof War. FROM GENERAL POPES' ARMY—IT IS MOVING AHEAD. HEADQCARRERS OF THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA, ) , Aug. 3, 1862— F. M. j Mojor-General Hallcck: The reconuoitering column under General | Crawford crossed the Ripidan aid pushed forward to Orange Court House, yesterday, and took possession of the town, which wus occupied by two regiments of the enemy's cav alry, under General Robertson. Eleven of the enemy were killed and fifty two taken pris oners ; among the latter are oue Major, two Captains and two Lieutenants. Our loss was two killed aud three wounded. The enemy retired in such haste as to leave their wounded in our hands. The Railroad and Telegraph line between Orange Court House and Cordonsville were destroyed. JOHN POI-E, Mnjoi-General. FROM M'CLELLAN'S ARMY. HEADQUARTERS, OF THE ARMY OF THE | POTOMAC, August 7 J Ever since the firing upon our shipping at the mail boat landing by the enemy's batteries, our troops have occupied the opposite shore. Yesterday a recouuoisaneo was made from that point back iuto the country to within lourteen miles of Petersburg. It was con ducted by Colonel Averill, and was composed of 150 of the Third Pennsylvania Cuvalry, with four companies of the First Michigan In fuutry. Captains Castor and Bower of Gen eral M'Clellan's Staff accompanied them. At Cox's Mills, five miles from the rive*, they encountered the Tnfrteenth Virginia Cavalry, drawn up in litne. Our men charged on them when they broke and run. They drove them to their encampment at Sycamore Church, two and a half miles furth er, where they agaio formed, but were inglor iously put to flight, leaving behind all their tents, camp equipage and commissary stores, which oar troops gathered together and burn ed. The rebels bad two horses killed, six men wounded and two taken prisoners. Our ioss was one horse killed. After scouring the country a short distauee further they returned to the river. There is no further evidence of rebel gunboats OD the river this side of Fort Darling. Information received here goes to show that the new Merrimae will not be able to operate for thiee weeks yet. Two of the gunboats were yesterday after noon engaged in shelliDg the opposite shore above City Point. The health of the troops has improved ever since they began to receive fresh vegetables, which were ordered to be issued to them by General McClellao. HIGHLY IMPORTANT—RICHMOND AGAIN REPORTED EVACUATED. GEN. POPE'S HEADQUARTERS, August. 4. Information from various sources tend to confirm the belief that the enemy have really evacuated Richmond, and taken up the south bank of the James river as the line of their defences. The rebel cavalry, under Gen. Robertson, are believed to have been with drawn from the Shenaudoah Valley, leaving that part of the couutry to the defence of the guerrillas alone. . WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. It has been believed herein some quarters,for several days, that the enemy have been evacuating Richmond ; there being a reason able suspiciou that a pestilence has broken out in that city. Important front the War Department. OFFICERS AND PRIVATES ABSENT WITH OCT LEAVE. WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, Juty 31, Absent officers and privates from duty un der various pretexts, while receiving pay at great expense and burtheu to the government, makes it necessary that efficient measures be taken to enforce their return ta duty, or their places be supplied by those who will not take pay while rendering no service. This evil, moreover, tends greatly to discourage the im pulse of those who would contribute to the support of the families of the faithful soldiers. It is therefore ordered by the President ; First, That ou Monday the 11th day of Au gust, all l< uvea of abseuce and furloughs, by whomsoever given, unless by the War Depat raeut, are revoked and absolutely annulied, and all officers capable of service, are required forthwith to join their regiment, under the 1 penalty of dismissal from the service, or such i penalty as a court martial may award, unless j the absence is occasioned by a lawful cause. Sceond, The only excuse allowed for abseuce of officers or privates from duty alter theelerenth of August ure, Ist, The Older or leave of the War Departnent. 2d, Disability from woends received in service. 3J, Disability from dis j case that renders the party unfit for military i duty ; but any officer or private whose health I permits him to visits watering places or places ; of amusement, or make social visits, or walk about town, city or neighborhood, in which case he will be cons dercd fit for military duty by absence from his command or rank. Third, On Mouday, the 18th day of Au gust, at ten o'clock, A. M., each regiment and corps shall be mustered. The absentees will be marked in three lists, and the same made and within 48 hours after muster one copy shall be sent to the Adjutant General of the army, one to the commander of the corps, the third to be retained ; and all officers and pri vates, lit for duty absent at that time, shall be i regurded as absent without cause. Their pay will be stopped, ami they dismissed from sir vice, or treated as deserters, unless restored : and no officer shall fie restored to his rank un less by judgement of a court of inquiry, to be approved by the President, lie shall estab lish that bis abseuce was with good cause. Fourth, Commanders of corps, division, Brigades, regiments, detached posts,are strict ly enjoined to enforce this muster and rate aforesaid. Any officers failing in the duties herein imposed, will be deemed guilty of a gross ueglect of duty, and be dismissed from service. Fifth, A commissioner shall be appointed by the Secretary of War to superintend the exe cution of this order in the respective Slates. The United States Marshals in their respect ive districts, the mayor and chief police of any town or city.the sheriff of the respective coun ties iu each State, all postmasters and justice, | of the peace are author zed to act as special | provost marshals to arrest any officer or private j soldier tit for duty who may lie found absent from his command without just cause and con vey him to the nearest military post or depart ' meut. The transportation and expenses of the duty and five dollars will be paid for each offi cer or private as arrested and delivered. By order of the President. (Signed) E.M.STANTON. Secretary of War.

Troops ore ponring in from all quarters of the State. Three companies, each numbering one hundred men, arrived this morning, and squads are arriving by every train. The in dications are that nearly the whole quota of nine months men will be raised by the 10th inst. The enlistments in this city and vicinity are going forward rapidly. Orders for the establishment of State camps at Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Lancas ter, iu addition to the central camp at this place, have been given. BgL. General Pope's recent orders ennse great excitement in Fanqnier county, Ya.— Nearly all of the people will go Sou h before taking an oath of allegiance to the U. S. Gov ernment. LOCAL AND GENERAL. \ WASHINGTON PENNSYLVANIA SOLDIERS RELIEF ASSOCIATION.—This Association, having open ed an office at No. 5 Washington Buildings, corner of 7th street and Pennsylvania avemic, where will be found a register of all Pennsylvania soldiers in or around this city in hospitals, invite the friends of the same to call, assnrin g them that all possible aid will be extended in, finding their sons Mr. CHAS. L. WKLLB, the Register, will be found in the office. The Corresponding Secretary, Mr. S. TODD PERLEY, will answer all letters in regard to sick and wounded Pennsylvania soldiers, whether in or around this city, Baltimore, Pailadelpbia, New York, or New Haven.— Address, care Box 84J, Washington, D. C. J. K.MORE.HEAD, Prcs't. J. M. SULLIVAN, Sec'y. j&af" We have frequently called into requisi tion the mechanical skill of our fellow townsman J. V. Geiger in rspairing and making new our" shooting sticks" composing sticks and " srch fixings," as are usea in our office. When we say Mr. G.,is a skillful mechanic, we say what Is already known to most of our readers. The Rifles and Guns of his make are familier to our sportsmen aud hunters, and areacknowlegcd to be unsurpassed for long range and accuracy of shooting.— We would advise every man to get him a rifle and practice until lie becomes a good murksman, as the servi" ces of all may be required in the field before this rebel lion is crushed. We can guarantee fair dealing with all who may call on Mr. G., as regards prices and quality of his work. s®" WHAT is THE PECUNIARY REWARD.— Our young men do not need to be bribed to fight fur tbeir country ; but they are perfectly right in wanting an as surance from those at home that the wives, children, parents or friends who are dependent on them, shall have support provided for fliein in their absence. Hence the bounty and the pay is an additional inducement to volunteers. It isan insurance to the family. The pay of a soldier is $l3 per month ; the Government bounty is $lOO and 160 acres of land ; the county bouty $25. The bounty, (including iand at Government price) amounts to j:h>Q, besides the regular pay. One month's and $55 bounty i 3 paid in advance by the Government, and $25 by the county, making $65 in advance. * FEGR THE POSTAGE STAMP CURRENCY.—O:I Wednesday, the Post Master General and Boutwell com missioner of internal revenue,approved of the specimens j for the postage stamp currency, which will be for 5, 10. ; 25 and 50 cents. The designs embrace the present five i and ten cent postage stamps tastefully arranged so as not ' to be separated arid used for postage. They will bear on their face the following inscription :—" Postage stamps furnished try the Assistant Treasurer," and designated " receivable for postage stamps at any Post Office;" up on th? back will be a large figure denoting the denomina tion, with these words:—Exchangeable for United States notes by any Assittant Treasurer or designated United States depository, in sums not less tiian $5, receivable iu payment of all dues to the United States less than ss— approved July 17th, 1862." They will be printed" on hank note paper of different sizes, averaging about I stli the size of United State notes, and furnished in sheets during the next two weeks. DRAFTING—How THEY DO IT.—The subject of drafting has become one of considerable in terest within a tew days past, the idea gaining currency that a dralt from each State will be made to till up our thinned regiments in the field. Drafting is provided for by a law of Congress Iramed in IT'.2, entitled •* An act to provide for the National defence, by establishing a Uniform Militia throughout the United States,"' afterwards amended and anpiied to all arms I-earing citi zens of the country. The process of drafting is about the same in the various States. Roils are prepared of those liable to serve—able bodied men between the ages of eighteen and forty five—and the requisite number of names are drawn by lot in the presence of prescribed officials. The persons drawn are notified, and given op portunity to prove themselves ex tmpt or provide suita ble substitutes, failing in which, they are compelled to serve, or submit to heavy penalties, generally iniprison ! nient. The country has a right to the services ot her : citizens in defence of the nation, as none will dipute and to avoid the disagreeable necessity of a forced exac tion of such service, the thinned ranks of our shattered army should be filled at once by the voluntary tender of every man who can by any means leave home. JC*®- Comparisons. — It is nspfess to deny that the masses of the people have a deep-seated arid set tied confidence in " Sarsaparillia." as an alterative re medy. Notwithstanding this confidence has of late years heen abused by many preparations claiming to posse.-s its virtues but really with none at nil, still the peop'e believe in its intrinsic value as a remedy, because they have known ol its cures. The rage for large bottles at low prices, l.as called into market many compounds of Sarsaparilta which contain scarcely any ol it,or even any medical virtues whatever. Yet everybody knows '.hat Sarsaparilla is the great staple antidote for Scrofula, Eruptions and cutaneous diseases, anu the purification of the blood, when they can got the real article, or an actual extract ot it. Mich we are now able to inform them they can obtain. Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., the cele brated chemists ol the East, whose reputation assures i.s they da well whatever they undertake, are selling a Com pound Extract of Sarsaparil'a, which, although the bot tles do not contain quarts, for a dollar, do contain more of actual curative power than whole gallons ol the stuffs which have been in use. It is asserted that one bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilta contains more than double the amount of medicinal virtue, which is afforded by any other. The fact is not only apparent to the taste, but its effects nnd cures afford incontestable proof that it is true. Such a remedy has been long sought for, and is every where needed by all classes of our community. ["Age," Cynth'aua, Ky.] JBSr* Thf. Law Against " Shin pi. asters.''— As the public mind is greatly agitated at present on the small change subject, and the issue of •' shiuplasters " by corporations, associations, &c., is broached ail over, we publish the law prohibiting such Purdou's Digest, 1861, page 94 : "No incorporated body, public officer, association or fiartuership, r private individual, other than such as i..ve been expressly incorporated or establi>hed for the purpose of banking, shall make, issue, re issue or circu late any pomissory note, ticket or engagement, or credit in the nature ola hank note, of any denomination or amount whatsoever, other than such as have been issu-. d by banks lawfully and expressly established ; and from and alter the Ist day of May next (act of 22d March, 1817) no such incorporated body, public officer, association or partnership, shall receive any Hiuh note, ticket, or engagement of credit other than those above excepted,or those made and issued by it or him self, or under it or his immediate authority, aud that lor the mere purpose of cancelling 01 destroying the same, under the penalty, in the case of a public officer, often dollars, and in the case ola corporation, association or partnership,tilty doilars for each and every note so made issued, re-issued, paid or leceived, to be recovered by any person or persons suing for the same, belore any alder man or justice of the peace ot this Commonwealth, as debts under one hundred dollars are by law recovera ble." , Another law. passed in 1849, prohibits the issue of shin plasters by municipal corporations, in the following sec tion. " That if any officer or officers, agent or agents of any municipal corporation within this Commonwealth, shall be instrumental in, or consent to, or connive at the mak - iug. issuing ol any note, hill, check, ticket, certificate or order, in the nature or similitude of a banknote, or in tended to be used as a currency, he shall he deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof in any Court having jurisdiction of ths ofTeuce. shall be fined in any sum not exceeding one thousand dollars foi each offence, for the use of the county, and he liable to im prisonment in the county jail for a term not exceeding six months, at the discretion of the Court." The law of necessity may over ride both of these enact mente, but it will be well enough for the people to know yaetly whet, the law le under a*y eircumrtaneee. BGL. " ONLY ONE KILLED." —OnIy one kill ed. Only one virgorons life cut short; only one home cb.iiu broken ; only one wife made a widow ; one group 01 little ones made fatherless ; or perhaps one lone mother's heart robbed of its idol ; one tender sister made brotherless ; one loving young heart stricken down in its Bret great agony. How many times within the last few months have raltliful comrades broken the turf and deposited underneath the form of the " ouly one killed." The next morning's paper perhaps told of a "brilliant affair ; repulse of the enemy, with only one killed on our side," etc. ; and after an indifferent glance at it, we pass ed on to the next paragraph. And yet for some poor hearts, the term "only one killed," contains an immea surable amount of sorrow. Iu vain will they watch for the coining of that loved one, who went out from them iu all the strength and beauty of youth ; in vain w ill they listen for the sound o! that voice whose last music lor them was the sad cadence—" good bye." The anxi ous eves that so often gazed down the old road will not be gladdened by the sight of that dear form ; and the harmony of the home music will ever lie broken, for that voice will always be wanting. ' Neath the palmetto is a little mound, and there quietly sleeping, is the "only one killed." And alas ! how many such little mounds there are scattered over the sunny South—mounds that are marked by no head stones No loving h nds ever plant flowers on them, no loving eyes ever water them with teais. Hands hardened by grasping steel consigned to the dust,and uone but eyes nuused to weeping gaze on those little lone mounds. We do not rca'ize the vast amount ot sorrow this war is creating. None but those from whose hearthstone have been taken the " only one killed," can realize it. The following is a list of the officers and privatesof Company D,loCth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, situated near Harrison's Landing, on the •fames River, Virginia.
