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.

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.

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,"

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.
