The sau xlitvs of tho fatal blunder, by which,
cm Lhmduy loyal rvgtirivhtg, from our
city, fircii upon each other, will cause intense
sorrow among the friends of the victims, and
the public generally. Tt seems almost incredi
ble that, after the repeated warnings we have
bad triplin' danger of such occurrences, eitieient
precautions tire hot taken to prevent them.
The Movements at Washington.
The intelligence from Washington is of a
highly important and exciting character. For
SOllie reason, ns yet not fully explained, the
enemy withdrew from flic advanced positions
in the vicinity of the capital, they have occu
pied for several weeks jinst, on Friday night,
and on Saturday night our troops occupied the
points thus vaciitisi. Tliis movement may be n
prelude to a general engagement; or it may indi
cate a disposition on the part of Beai-iikoard
to choose some new point of attack; or it may
be a mere ruse designed to draw our men into
fatal ambuscades, IVe are doubtless on the
eve of great events. No one can foresee how
soon the armies which have been encamped
almost within sight of each other will engage
in a desperate and deadly conflict. But we
trust and believe that, whatever may be the
object of the foe, our generals will prove
more wary and skilful, and our soldiers more
determined and brave, than their adversaries.
The fact (hut they have eoased to flaunt
their black flag of crime and treason in sight
of TVashingum will be hailed, with joy hy every
loyal heart in the country, no matter what
may be their motives for a retreat, and thou
sands of hearts will quicken with the hope
that the hour is fast approaching when the na
tion will bo thrilled with the glad news that
the tide el infamy, treason, and despotism has
been rolled back upon the rebellious districts,
and the honor and power of the ltepublio vin
dicated and re-established.
Nntimiiil Confidence,
The feeling of passive conlidcnrc which the
people of the loyal States now exhibit is an
extraordinary indication of their power and
prowess. We have educated ourselves into a
just appreciation of the magnitude of this in
surrection and the means to bo taken for its
suppression. IVe have tempered that feeling
of impatience and petulance which we were
wont to exhibit before the Manassas disaster.
IVe have ceased to grumble with the President
or or to make foolish demands for a change in
the Cabinet; we have thrown to the winds
every remnant of the old party robes; there
lias been a union of feeling and prejudice for
the sake of the Union; we have ceased to
dictate militar y movements to men whose lives
have been spent in the army; and, what is
more, wo have smothered the Disunion senti
ment which occasionally appeared in onr midst
to distract our counsels and paralyze our
efforts, and at last we are one people.
Could there be any more gratifying tributo
to our greatness as a nation ? For we have
learned to know ourselves, and tills is the sum
and substance of all national power and glory.
Blankets and Socks for the Army.
At the commencement of the war, tire ladies
of the North displayed as much enthusiasm
in their exertions to assist in the equipment
of the troops as their husbands, brothers, and
friends did in volunteering. Their zeal, how
ever, natunilly abated when the Government
manifested ils ability to promptly furnish
supplies of v:ost of the articles needed; but a
period has again arrived when their voluntary
aid may bo viially important to tho health and
comfort of thousands of our soldiers, and when
they may do much good by supplying winter
stockings or socks, and blankets. The extra
ordinary demand lor these articles which was
created hy the war has not only exhausted the
shelves of our merchants, but rendered it im
possible for manufacturers to make up now
supplies as soon as they are needed. If tho
ladies of our country, and particularly of our
State, do not liberally respond to tho appeal of
the Quartermaster General, much suffering
will be inevitable. IVe are glad to know that
thousands nre now engaged in knitting woollen
socks, and we also notice that several dona
tions of blankets have been made to Quarter
master Cbossjia.v, of this city, as well as to
Quartermaster General Hanc, nt Harrisburg.
Tlio latter officer superintends tho supplies of
volunteers from our State. In al. tter of the
24th inst., lie acknowledges tho receipt of two
boxes containing oue hundred and eighteen
blankets, which were a donation from the la
dies of Lewisbnrg and vicinity, for the soldiers
at Camp Curtin. Gen. Hale says that—
“ Every exertion has been made to procure army
Markets for the troops, but so great has been tbe
demand that the ordinary sources of supply failed
to meet our wants. We have endeavored to start
every loom in the State capable of making army
blankets, and hope in time to have a full supply,
hut the troops in camp require immediate relief.
We cannot, then, too warmly express our thanks to
your association for your prompt and timely dona
tion; and trust that other kindred associations
throughout our whole Stato will follow your noblo
example and contribute to relieve the neuo.-i.silies
of thoßewbo have left tho oomforts of home, to
fight for our country, our flag, and the Govern
ment of our choice."

presses a hope that if her recommendation is 525 Market street, and 522 Commerce street
acted upon, it may lead, not only to the com
fort Of those for whoso benefit it is particular
ly intended, but to the formation of societies
for the relief of other regiments, and at all
events to a general stimulation to labor of the
kind she suggests. Among other facts which
she states is the following :
“ A lady just returned from one of the south
eastern counties of Virginia says that all the schools
bare been broken up long ago ; the boys are in the
army, and the girls are at home knitting sooks:
that wherever you go the ladies meet you at their
doors and gates with the needles going; the ser
vants in the house and on the plantation are equal
ly ambitious.’’
She adds that “ we will not knit because
they do, but we w ill not lot them outdo us.”
Suraly the ladies of the North will be not less
activo in promoting the comfort of the soldiers
of freedom than the ladies of the South are in
providing for the wants of the traitors.
The Butteries on the Potomac.
The enemy are reported to have planted
several powerful batteries on the shores of tho
Potomac. .Some of them were probably
originally erected to prevent the Union forces
from landing at important points on tho Vir
ginia shore, and others for aggressive pur
poses. It is no doubt part of their plan to
control and prevent the : navigation of the
river, so that if by any misfortune to our arms
direct communications between 'Washington
and the North are cut off, they can also ren
der it difficult and dangerous to send succor
from tho sea to » beleaguered capital. The
recent attacks upon our ships have disclosed
the exact lm-a.'lon (previously concealed) of
several ul tiicac hostile works. It is quilu pos
sible that, since they have thus been unmasked,
an attempt will he made before many days to
capture or destroy them.
Another Privateer Destroyed.
Lute inteUigence from Fort Pickens states
that another privateer, the Judith, has recently
been destroyed bv an expedition fitted out
from our flm-‘ •• 'hut quarter. Finding it im
possible to cut her out, on account of the pro
tection afforded by the guns of the Pensacola
Navy Yard, our brave tars set fire to and
entirely destroyed her. Privateering is evi
dently not a remunerative business. It con
stantly exposes those engaged In it to mortify
ing and tragic disasters.
The arrival of Gen. Fremont at Jefferson
City is announced, and tho opinion is ex
pressed that, if lie is sufficiently rapid in his
movements, he can prevent the escape of
Gen. Prick, ami gain a brilliant victory over
tb? rebel forces.
Pennsylvania Volunteers anil the General
Flection
The Harrisburg Telegraph of Saturday eon
iaiiLs an important opinion of IVII.[.[AM 11.
MmiEmru, Attorney General of the State, in
regard to Ibo manner in which tile volunteers
now in camp are to be allbnied opportunities
for voting on tlio day of tlte gonontl election.
It wili be seen tbutbe expresses tho belief that
those companies and regiments which are not
connected with the forces organized ami com
missioned by tbe State authorities, will not be
entitled to vote—a decision which will proba
bly excite no litllo indignation in some of
the camps, if it is strictly adhered to. Go
vernor Curtis, however, has recently issued
a proclamation setting forth, among other
tilings, an order of the War Department, dated
September 2otli, which contains tlie following
clause:
J. All men now enrolled or mustered into the
service of the United States, for brigades, regi
ments. batteries, or companies, in the State nf Penn
sylvania. under tho direct authority of the Secre
turv of War, are placed under the command of
the fioYvrnorof Pennsylvania, who shall organise or
reorganize them as he may deem most advan
tageous to the interests of the Uoncral Uovorn
nicnt.”
IVe trust, that the men connected with what
have been termed “ independent Pennsylvania
regiments,” formed within our borders, may,
iii consequence of this order, bo classified as
State regiments in every legal sense of Lite
term, and that they will not be prevented from
voting. .
Tlio opinion of Attorney General Mkrkiiitu
is as follows;
ATTonxET General's Omen, )
IIAHIIISTtIIRO, Sopt. 27, IHtil. j
My opinion is requested by the Governor on the
following questions, viz :
I. IVbat volunteers will bo entitled to vote at
the approaching general election in Mioir oarnps?
11. Whether the volunteers so emitted to vote
can vote for county oflicers :
I. I am clearly of the opinion that no volunteers
will be entitled to vote in their caiups, except snoh
as arc in actual military service in conformity with
.law, viz : Such as are iu service under tho authori
ty of the Governor on the requisition nf the Presi
dent of the United States. All the field officers of
such regiments will ho commissioned by the Go
vernor. and the holding of such commissions hy the
field officers will be a fair test of the right of the
regiment to vote.
11. The act of Assembly provides that the volun
teers may exercise the right of suffrage; of course
they have as much right to vote for county offioors
as for any othor. IV. M. Meredith,
Attorney Gotiernl.
Since the above opinion was presented to
tlie Governor, another question arose, which
the Attorney General has thus disposed of:
“ Since writing the above an additional question
has been propounded to me, viz : Where men from
several oountics are in the same company, what
course should be pursued ? lam of opinion that in
such cases there should he separato ballot-boxes,
tally lists, Ac., for each county, and tile votes
should be returned, to each county, of the voters
ontitled to vote in such county.
11 IV. M. Meuetiith, Attorney General.
“September 2S, 1861.”
Tiie news from Kentucky indicates that
the friends of the Union in that quarter arc
futiy aroused, quite as alert as tho Disuniou
ists, and prepared for almost any contingency
that may occur. The situation of affairs on
the liver border of tlie State is said by Pren
tice to be as encouraging as could be expect
ed or desired, and tlie number of Union sol
diers, their officers and equipment, leads us
to hope that they will be more than a match
for tlieir enemies. It is true that along the
southern border of the State tlie traitors have,
after their usual fashion, been committing nuw
outrages and robberies, and acting more liko
Goths and Vandals than civilized soldiers.
But if nil goes well with our expeditions, they
will presently find sufficient employment in
defending tlieir own homes in Tennessee. To
that State they evidently tear that the seat of
war will soon bo transferred, and that loyal
Kentucky will thus be rescued from the hor
rors and misfortunes that site would suffer if
for a long period she was made one of tlie
chief battle grounds of the contest.
Public Amusements.
The theatrical events of the past week are few.
At tho Continental Theatre “ Tbe Tempest” con
tinues attractive, mid, indeed the last scene is ex
tremely beautiful, imposing, and suporb. This
performance will be continued throughout the pre
sent week.
At Mrs. John Drew’s Arch-street Theatre a new
play, adapted from the French, by Mrs. C. Barton
Bill, we believe, has been so successful that it will
run through, and probably beyond, the present
week, litre it bears the title of “ Jeannette, or
le Cretin de la Montagna,” and tlio heroine, play
ed by Mils Charlotte Thompson, is tho most tolling
character. In Paria, and in London (where the
play Is played at the Surry theatre as “ The Idiot
of the Mountain,”) the stroffgcharacter is tho Cre
tin. Mr. Cresswick playa it in Loudon, bat we
doubt whether he can do it as much justice us it
here receives from Mr. Mortimer. The ability
With which Mr. Shewed renders the part of lions
sail, tho pcdler, is worthy of commendation.
At Walnut-street Theatre, this evening, Miss
Caiolino llichings and Mr. Peter llichings will
permanently assnmo the responsible positions of
Directress and Stage Manager. The comedy of
“Fashion” will be performed, with tho afterpiece
of “The Boumo Fish Wife,” Miss llichings per
forming ill both pieces, and intruducing singing.
Mrs. Garrettson, we believe, though sho lightens
her labors by this managerial change, continues solo
lessee of the theatre.
Sanderson's Stereoscopic Views. —At As
sembly Building, cornor of Tenth and Chestnut
streets, the views of the Southern Ilebellion and
the Itussian War continue popular and attractive.
Olympic Theatre —This establishment, altered
and improved, (eight private boxes having been
added), will be reopened next Saturday evening,
by Mr. J. E. McDonough, with a large and good

Harrisburg, Sept. 28.—Colonel Crist’s regiment
did nut leavo here lost night in consequence of the
stem. It will leave some lime to-day.
Tho independent regiment, called the Keystone,
lias been consolidated with the State regiment, to
bo commanded bj Colonel Richard White. Its
Colonel is to be the Lieutenant Culouel of Whited
regiment. John Filler, a well-known correspond
ent of newspapers from this point, is to be Major of
tho regiment.
There are now fourteen companies of infantry,
five companies of cavalry, and one battery of artil
lery in Camp Cameron. Seven of the infantry com
panies belong to Colonel Powers’ Zouave regiment.
Three more companies will arrive this woek, when
the full number of companies will be in camp. All
the men belonging to the Zouave regiment are now
uniformed and equipped, with new tents and camp
furniture.
It rumored that Col. Serieda CL SltiitiidttS, 4f
this city, colonel of tho Fifth Regiment Pennsylva
nia Reserve Yolunteors, under General McCall, at
Camp Tenn&lly, on the Potomac, has been appoint
ed a Brigadier General in the army. Ho is a cap
tain in the regular army, and was detailed to com
mand the Fifth Pennsylvania Reserve by the Secre
tary of War.
Great excitement prevails here in consequence of
the avowal of the following sentiment by the Rev.
Dr De Witt, State Librarian, who has a son hold
ing a consular appointment abroad. He said the
North had violated their covenants with the
South, and were responsible and answerable for the
crisis with which the country was convulsed.”
Dr. De Witt is senior pastor in the New School
Presbyterian Church in this place. The avowal
w«. e made in a sermon preached in hi* pulpit upon
J gH I>ry. Hid iutUuiL removal i: dcuumlcd bj tiio
popular voice.
It is said the Governor will do it if he has
the power. The matter has already bocn re
ferred to the Attorney General, whose opinion will
be given upon the legal power of the Governor over
tho removal.
His son will doubtless be recalled immediately.
Ho is one of President Bnchnuan’s appointees."

FIFTIETH RKGiaHNT AWAITING TRANSPORTATION
Harrisburg, Sept 28. —Since tho order re
‘•mv< dby Governor Curtin ftoru *he War Depart
iiicnt to send forward the troops raised under tho
last requisition, Pennsylvania has sent forward
four regiments of over one thousand men each,
fully armed and equipped. Col. Criat’s Ftflieth,
and several other regiments, are now ready, and
await nothing but transportation. The railroad
companies, notwithstanding their untiring efforts,
buYV Itet been able to furnish ae&r
so rapidly as Pennsylvania can organise, arm, and
equip her regiments. It is confidently expected
that next week a regiment per dRy will leave Har
risburg for the seat of war. When all the now
nearly-completed regiments have taken the field,
Pennsylvania will have more men under arms than
any other State in the Union # Tho Quartermaster
General finds it almost impossible to supply the nu

and considerable unavoidable suffering is the con*
sequence.

With any opposition whatever, ns the rebel army
had on Friday night retreated from tho wbolo lino

Hill, this side of Falls Church, is necessarily in
cluded among the points now held by tho Federal
forces.
Tho work* of tho enemy, at the places they lxnd
evacuated, were, in a military view, almost worth
less, being nothing more than rifle pits of very
common construction.
The positions nt Munson's and Murray’s Hill
afforded tho robols nearly an unobstructed view
cf all our fortifications and other defences.
The appearnnoo of the ground deserted by tho
rebels indicated that they were deficient in those
arrangements which serve to make a camp-lifo
comfortable, having no tents, but merely shelters
rudely constructed. There were no signs to show
that they hud ever mounted any guns there. Our
troops are now so omployod us to show that they do
hot merely intend temporarily to occupy their pre
sent positions.
Melancholy Catastrophe—Another Blun
der—Colonel Owen’s Regiment Fires
on Baker’s anti Baxter’s Regiments.
The advance of General Smith on Fulls Church
from tho Cfcain Bridgo was attended by events of
the most deplorable character. Having passed
Vanderwercker’s and Vaedbrbkrg's houses on"
their way to tho former place, and when about
half a mile from it, hy some unaccountable blun
der Colonel Owen's Philadelphia Irish Regiment,
iu the darkness of tho night mistaking for the re
bels Captain Mott's battery, which was in tin ad
vance, sustained by llMwai-BAicnn’s California
Regiment, Colonel Baxter’s Philadelphia Fire
Zouaves, and Colonel Friedman's Cavalry, fired a
full volley into tho troops last mentioned, killing
and wounding a largo number. Tho California
Regiment, not knowing whence the firing came, re
turned It will) marked effect. The bonus attached
to Mott’s battery became unmanageable, and the
longuos of tho caissons were broken owing to the
narrowness of the road. Lieutenant BnvAxr, having
command of the first section, ordered tho guns to bo
loaded with grape and canister, and soon had
them in range to rake tho supposed enemy, when
word way stmt to him that he was in the company
of friends. All w«w excitement, and a long time
elapsed before the actual condition of affairs was
ascertained and confidence re-established. Many
confused stories prevail as to tho parties on whom
tho blftme should rest.

cerning them.
Account of Munson’s Hill.
Munson’s Hill is one of those small eminences
that formerly constituted tho neutral ground bo
tween our lines and tho enemy’s, two miles from
Bailey's Cross Roads. The approaches to the hill
are gradual, and in a strategic view its position is
of minor importance. Munson’s houso is situated
at the side of the hill.
They first occupied the hill on the Monday pre
ceding the 31st of August. The Maryland regi
ment that made the advance was supported on
Tuesday by five thousand robols—chiefly Mary
landers and Virginians—under Gen. Longstrebt
About twenty lives were lost on both sides in its
occupation. No effort being made to dislodge the
enemy, they proceeded to fortify tho position, and
were to be Been daily from some houses near Al
exandria, and also from Forts Blenker and Rich
ardson.
On a clear day, and with a good glass, their flag
could be seen from the dome of the Capitol, and
among the soldiers, ever alert with picks and spades,
certain rebel ladies, in gay dresses, were remarked
flitting from poiut-io point. The fact that t,hu Hill
was deserted seems to argue a feint on the part of
Beauregard. Day after day his troops seemed
working incessantly; but General McClbl&an
contented himself with kooping up a strict vigi
lance, and the end has been the desertion of this
place and its re-occupation by the Unionists,

STATEMENTS OF PARTICIPANTS,
A number of the participants in the advance on
Falls Church were in the city last evening. They
give confused and contradictory statements relative
to the fatal mistake. The most reliable account
we derive freui & captain’e clerk, who left the ad
vancing column near Falls Church at nine o’olock
on Sunday morning.
Among tire regiments that left toe Chain Bridge,
under Gen. William K. Smith, were the following:

Owen’s Irish Regiment, all from Philadelphia;

companies,) at least two batteries of artillery, and
a quantity *.f euvulry.
Three eoinpimiefi of the California r&gimAhfc had
bees thrown out a 6 skirmishers, two of which had
returned to tboir column, reporting tho road unob
structed. Supposing his column now uuitod, Gen.
Smith ordered forward tho Bordan Sharpshooters,
directing them to fir© at any approaching body.
Auuordingly, when a IhiM eomptiny of the Cali
fornia skirmishers were about rejoining tboir rogi
mont, iho sharpshooters fired upon them, without
effect. Tlie skirmishers at once rnplind, and a panic
ensued among the riflemen, several of whom throw
dowu their i/iucca. piuiic-Htrickcn, and run back
upon the inivin body. The r.iUtako was discovered
in a few seconds, and amicably adjusted.
"When about to rejoin their column, tlie skirmish
ers were, a second time, fired upon by parrs of Col.
Owen’s Irish regiment. Tbe fire whs fatal; and
CY«n iifU-r the skirmishers bad made known their

A part of Captain Mott's battery, hearing this
firing ahead, was prepared to sweep the rond with
grape and canister. After a succession of fright
ful scenes and great confusion, order was restored,
and Colonel Owen's regiment was ordered back,
and, our informant states, the remainder of the
column proceeded forward, and, ns he thinks, oc
cupied Fails Church.
'i'li© distance from Chain Bridge, whenco tlio
column started, at, ten o’clock on Saturday uight,
to Falls Church. is about six nd!t»y. The* mistakes
©couM-wl about three-quarters of a mile from Lhe
latter place. About fittean thousand men took
pint in tho advance, and fifteen thousand wore
left to guard Chain Bridge.
Neither Colonel Owen nor Colonel Baker was i n
the engagement. Colonel Baker having been in tho
city aouio dayp. and Colons! Owen having Arrived
by the train ]<lsl evening. A body of rebel cavalry
lmd charged upon our advance some time before
the mistake occurred, and our men becoming, in
consequence, excited, were eager for a melon, and
willing to lire upou nuylbiug that might appear.
He boliuvcK that two of Colonel owon’s men were
killed, one of Baxter's Firo Zoujivoh, throo of the
California Regiment, three of Mott’s battery, nud
two of tho First Pennsylvania Dragoons. Not more
than twelve in all, ho believes, were killed, and
about thirty wvro wounded.
Tho mime* of most of tho above will be found
under our telegraphic hood. Our wen now occupy
Munson’s and Mason’s Hills, and our pickets re
sume very nearly tlieir original position before tho
rebel advance. This sad accident lias oast » gloom
over our successes, which sat upon Philadelphia,
last night, like some horrible shadow.
Our army is resting to-night at Falls Church.
The cni'iny have retreated from all their advanced
posdlions. Everything was quiet at 10 o’clock P.
M. Gen. McClellan went over tha river at six
o’clock this morning, and returned at six this ove
niDg.
About 2$ o’clock this morning, in the vicinity of
Fulls Church, a scouting party of ilia Fourth Mi
chigan Regiment, of Gen. Poutkr’k brigade, met
snoiit? of Gon. Smith’s command, mounted, ad
vancing from another direeliou, when, mistaking
each other for tho enemy, shots were exchanged,
and, melancholy to relate, five wore killed. One
has tine© died of his wounds. Nine wore woundod
rlifshtlj) and three horses were killed. This la ofß
ciiil. All is quiet on the river to-day. Shipping
passing up and down.
Tho conduct of tho Federal troops to-day, whilo
occupying tho grounds recently vacated hy the
rebels, resulted in tho burning of property to the
amount of from $30,000 to $40,000, including houses
with tbeir contents, but which were untenanted,
no distinction being made as to the political charac
ter of their owners. These wanton acta will, doubt
less, undergo investigation hy tho military authori
ties, as they were strongly condemned by General
McClellan, who went over to tho Virginia side
to-day, at an early hour, visiting tho various
loculitica recently vacated by the rebels.
A private was summarily shot to-day, by his
superior officer, for insubordination in refusing to
perform duty.
The Object of the Rebel Retreat.
Various speculations are rife as to the wherea
bouts of the rebel army, as no traces of them can
he discovered in large force, occasional pickets of
infantry and cavalry only being discernible at
distant points, hovering as if tor the purpose of
observation. Tho most probable theory is, that,
from what can he gathered, the rohela arc making
feints of retreat, as they did previous to the battle
of Bull Ran, with the view of drawing our troops
into ambuscades. This opinion is strengthened by
tbe repetition of a conversation which a farmer re
siding in tho neighborhood of Falls Church over
heard the day before.
The encampments of the rebels show that they
at no time had over 10,000 men in front of Wasfc£-
ingtOD, and at the points which they hare juivfc
evacuated.
There was no change in General Banks’ column
up to a late houT lust evening. A report that he
had been largely reinforced was not true. Two
regiments in his division had been exchanged for
lwo other regiments, prompted by a desire to
wards perfection iu classifying and associating re
giments, and forming brigades.
General Stone has been reinforced, in anticipa
tion of an attempt on the part of the enemy to
cross the river.
From all that has transpired, thoro is yet ho rea
son why the regular shipping of the Potomac may
not go on as usual without serious danger, or any
danger at all. If those rascals on the bauks do
venture to throw a bomb, it don't explode, and
“ nobody is hurt.”

San Francisco, September 14.—There is but
little California news of interest to send by this ex
press.
The enlistment of troop for the five regiments
last called for goes on moderately well. The pay
,:f thu soldiers being so much below California
wages, seems to discouraga volunteering at a time
when the Slate is prospering, and the people well
employed. Still the number of volunteers now
called for will be obtained.
The State election returns are nearly complete.
Stanford, the Republican candidate for Governor,
has, thus far, 54,027 vetes; Conners, (Union De
mocrat,) 28,963; McConnell, (Breckinridge,) 31)-
216.
Among the Six Southern counties of the State
which are reported as largely sympathizing with
Secession, Los Angeles and Tulare are the only
enmities which gave the Breckinridge enndidatos a
majority.
The pony express, with news of tho burning of
the bridges on the Hannibal and St. Joseph Rail-,
road, with the consequent interruption of tele
graph and pony express communication with the
East, reached San Francisco to-day. This stoppage
of the mails and pony express makes our Califor
nia newspapers Tory dry rending latterly.
The last pony express brought through no lottura,
on account of the blundering of eastern postmas
ters. Eastern correspondents need to oxercise
much judgment in choosing the means of getting
their despatches through during these times.

Jkffhkson City, Sept. 29.—There is no reli
able nows of interG9t from Booneville, Georgetown,
Glm-gow, Rollii, or other prominent points.
Captain Walter, of Colonel Marshall’s regiment,
who was at Loxiugton, arrived this morning, lie
left there on Thursday nt noon. He saw no rebel
Lexington and Sedalia, and Rays
that the main body of Goueral Price’s forces woro
there when ho departed, and he believes that they
intend to take a stand and meet our troops thero,
as tho vicinity is well calculated, from its streams
and deep risdug banks without bridges, to trouble
on advancing enemy.
All the Federal officers have l?eep released on pa,
role except Col. Mulligan, who refused to give his
for private reasons.
Price has probably 35,000 men, and the rebels,
on Thursday, confidently expected that Ilardee,
with 8,000 or 11,000* and McCulloch, with 10,000
men, wero within t >ro or throo days’ march of Lex
ington. They have no faith in McCulloch as a ge
neral, but think ho is vory effective with a small
body of men.
A body of 10,000 rebels were sent across the
Missouri from Lexington on Thursday, with the
avowed lDtention of attacking Lane, who 13 re
ported on this side of the river. Oiir troops had no
cartridges, no grape or other shot left at the time
of the surrender, but lost from 200 to 300 kegs of
powder. The rebels are casting all kinds of balls
at Oia • Lexington foundry, which is at work day
and night. Tho rebels are greatly encouraged and
declare that St. Louis shall soon be in their posses

that he saw a gentleman who passed through Osce

of that town hod been burnt by Gon. Lane. It is
elated that the reasons far burning it were that th©
rebels bad fired on the troops from the windows of
the houses. No Federal troops were there when

Fort Lafayette, b.*d BW?o a great stir among his
friends, and they determined to make a demonstra

York, tho Culonol alighted, and was feentrod with
boisterous cheers from the crowd assembled. The
Burlington baud was in attendance, and a carnage
was provided to take him to bis house. After He
was seated, a procession was formed, precoded by a
large transparency, bearing tho words “ James W.
Wall, Defender of the Constitution, Welcome
Home,” composed of about thirty men with lighted
torcbes, and moved slowly down tho street. Upon
arriving at his residence, he thanked his friends
for these exhibitions of sympathy and welcome,
and assured them that he would not rest until he
found out the persons who caused his immersion in
the dungeon at New York, and who should answer
to him in the proper tribunal, and if he could not
get justice then, he would depend upon his own
right arm. About 11 o’clock he was serenaded by
the band.
About three o’clock this morning, a large barn,

Minister McLane and yacht from Vora Cruz,
and carried out the Lagoon exploring expedition
to Panama. She was to have carried in the troops
to the relief of Anderson, but that duty war very
lamely performed by the Star of tlu IFW, fur
which reason Fort Sumpter and It* garrison Hurron

trusted with the duty, they fiwturo us that Ander
son would have been reinforced. The Brooklyn
lay at Norfolk and Hampton in May last, and was
employed to reinforce Fort Pickens. Since that
time sbo has been on t.hc blockade, constantly
iilcrt, under pUwtu continuously for 25‘J days, over
hauling ami boarding vessels during day and night.
She has taken three prizes—one oi which, the Stet

Tho Brooklyn loft on the 14th lost-, and during
her passage hue Imri very heavy weather. A few
days previous to leaving her post aha captured a
fine prize, the bark Meaco, from Rio, with a
cargo of coffee, while trying to run the blockade.
A prize crew was put on board of her under com
mand of Lieut. Quackcnbush, and she was sent to
Philadelphia. She will arrive here in a few days.
Being so long at sea, the Brooklyn will need
extensive repairs, and it will probably be five or
six weeks before she again leaves this station. She
goes out of commission to-day, and wilt ftt Once
discharge four-fifths of her crew. The r'eafc will be
placed on board tho receiving ship Princeton.
The engines of t|u> Brooklyn are in bad condition,

The officers of the Brooklyn discredit the report
that Ship Island and Mississippi City have been
taken by the naval forces. Snip Island has been
fortified by the gee*««6bUU, Aud Mississippi City
being on the main land, out of cannon-shot reach of
the island. Tho Brooklyn pursued a pirate into

Arrival of the Steamer Delaware.—
The transport steamer Delaware, formerly run
ning between this port and New Turk, returned
to the city on Saturday evening from a trip up tho
Potomac. She left this city on Wednesday with
three hundred seamen taken from the receiving
ship Princeton. When off the mouth of the Po
tomac. the Delaware was overhauled by certain
merchantmen, and the officers warned not to at
tempt to run up the river, as rebel batteries on the
Virginia side would certainly sink the steamer.
Having accepted the errand, however, the captain
determined to fulfil bis contract, and had proceed-:
ed as far as Point Occoquan, where a rebel batte
ry had been constructed The battery appeared
to be a large one, and the Secession flag waved over
the fortifications. The captain of the Delaware
at once ordered on all steam, having thirty
nine pounds to the square inch. The first
shot- from the battery, which was then
three miles and a half from the vessel, passed
over the top of the masts, and was followed in.
quick succession by six more shots. In the hurry
ol passing the battery, tho officers did not perceive
the small steamtug Planet, and the Delaware
stxuck her iu the side, sinking her in eleven
minutes. The Planet had ventured up to the
Delaware to give information of the. whereabouts
of the rebel butteries. Her crew were saved and
taken on board the Delaware The cannon used
at Occoquan are believed to have been seized at
Bull Run. They were 30-pound rilled cannon.
The Delaware had been furnished with precau
tionary arrangements, and the seamen wore so dis-
E oa*id that any damage to hull or rigging could
ave boon instantly repaired- She was somewhat
injured by concussion with the Planet, and her
forokocl was carried away. But for these damages,
she would have accepted a Government offer to
carry 3,000 troops on a secret expedition thirty
miles down the Potomac. The captain opines that
tho entire Virginia shore, from Freestone Point to
creek, has been fortified, embracing the
places of Timber Brunch and Quantico Cock Pit.
Arrest of an Old Offender—Recovery
of a Large Amount of Stolen Property. —On
Saturday evening Chief Detective Wood, with hi 3
aids, Wrigley Bird and Charles H. Smith, arrested
a German named Anthony August, who, it ap
pears, has for some time past been engaged in most
extensive thefts. Tbe officers have been on the
lookout for August, and finally traced him to his
dwelling, at tho corner of Mervine aud Master
streets, in the Twentieth ward. The premises were
searched in the early part of last week, and a pro
miscuous assortment of goods of various descrip
tions was found. There were hundreds of pairs
of shoes of all kinds, for wearers of both sexes and
all ages ; sewing silks worth two huudred and fifty
dollars ; lace mantillas, bonnet silks, merino un
der-shirts and bosoms, men’s huts, domestic goods,
knit jackets, cigars, a ship’s chronomotor, a double
barreled gun, and 130 yards of cordod silks. This
last lot was stolen from a store in Third street,
above Market, about the first of August. There
whs also found a box containing 160 door keys.
August was what is called a “ weeder"—that is to
Eay, his practice was to enter stores in the evening
wiih false keys, and remove a small lot of goods,
generally one piece of stuff or a box of ribbons,
such small losses being generally laid to the charge
of the clerks or tho porter of the establishment.
Pawn tickets were also found, showing that his
transactions extended back as far as iB6O. It is a
practice with tbe “ weeders !? t to send their plunder
to auction, by a second party, and have it sold, buy
ing it in themselves, aud thus escaping nil suspi
cion.
August was absent from home when the police
visiled the spot and removed the plunder. His
wife and children were taken care of to prevent
communication with the alfeent one, and the offi
cer took charge of the house and waited for his
return. On Saturday evening lie returned home,
in ignorance of the turn which things had taken
during hia absence, and was nabbed by Chief Wood
just as he was about entering the door. He brought
home with him an empty valise. It is presumed
that its contents were disposed of by him during
his absence from tho city.
The prisoner seems to have followed up thieving
systematically, and to have stolen whatever be
could lay bis bands upon. He will have a hearing
before Alderman Bottler, at the Central Station,
to-morrow afternoon, at two o’clock. Meanwhile,
those who have lost such goods as were found on his
premises should call on Chief Wood and examine
the assortment of plunder which he has on hand.
Manufacturing Bogus Money.— Catharine
Perry was taken into custody, on Friday afternoon,
upon tho charge of attempting to pass a counterfeit
ten-dollar bill, purporting to be the issue of tho
Atlantic Bank of Massachusetts. Her residonoe,
on Thirteenth street below Federal, was subse
quently searched by the police, who arrested a
man, named Samuel Peransey, having in his pos
session a number of copper plates and dies for bank
note engravings. In tbe house were also found
crucibles, galvanic batteries, printers’ink, and ma
terials for making the same, and all the appliances
for producing counterfeit coin. A large pistol and
a counterfeit ten-dollar bill were also taken. Some
of the plates seized were what are technically
called < ; bugs,” being used for altering notes from
their original value. The plates taken wore for
notes of five, ten, and twenty dollars, and are well
engraved. The accused had a hearing before Aid.
Patcbell on Saturday, and were committed to
answer at court. Eliza Russell, who Is Sftid to bo
connected with the party, was also taken into cus
tody aDd committed. The arrests wore made by
Lieutenant Paulin and a posse of the Fifth district
police, who deserve credit for bringing these of
fenders to justice.

thousands. They are all women, most ot whom
rreide in the neighborhood. Among other condi
tions of their receiving Work. 19 MM that they ahull
give suffioient evidence of fitness to dieobarge the
labor required. The making of eight or ten pairs
of shirt* and drawers is considered enough to give
employment to a single person for one week, ami
this is the general amount of material rocoivod by
each applieunt.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE NEW ELECTION LAWS
Quarter t Sessions— Judge Ludlow,—Nu
merous questions havo arisen undor the late act of
Assembly regulating elections. The courts have
already passed upon some of tho points raised.
On Saturday morning, Mr. John Hamilton present
ed to Judge Ludlow a series of questions, in order
to secure uniformity of action among the election
officers:
Judge Ludlow will give his decision 1 ’ on the va
rious points early in tho coming week, when we will
publish them, with his opinion.
The case of William B. Prout and Joseph Jack,
the two Philadelphians of Capt. Fitzwater's com
pany, of Col. A. F. Mcßeynold’s Regiment of Ca
valry, was on Saturday morning further hoard on
habeas corpus.
The caao was not concluded, but goes over till
wext Saturday, and m the meantime the men re
main in custody.
The United States Grand Jury hare found true
bills for piracy against the five men, tho prize
crew of the privateer Jeff, Davis, captured ou the
schooner En chav tress.
The Alleged Clothing Fraud. —On Saturday,
the Grand Jury in the Quartor Sessious comploted
their labors for the term, and in making n final pre
sentment referred to the alleged clothing frauds.
In speaking of Judge Ludlow’s charge to inquire
into the alleged clothing frauds in connection with
the volunteers from the State, the jury says:
After a careful examination of all the testimony,
sharing as wo did in the suspicion which actuated
tbe public mind, wo are constrained to say that we
have no evidence of any fraud having been perpe
trated upon this Commonwealth in the supplies
furnished to the troops, nor of any frauds on the
part of those persons, official or unofficial, engaged
in tho management of the interests of the Common
wealth.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET
Philadelphia city sixe3 sold at tbe stock board to
day at S3} for the old issue, and 89} for the new,
and 74} for the Pennsylvania State fives. In these
there was no change. Minehill Railroad shares
sold at 47}, sustaining tho advance noted yester
day Heading Railroad stock sold after the ad
journment of the first board at 171, and closed at
17} to 17}.
The holders of Allegheny county and Pittsburg
bonds will hold a meeting at room No 30, in tbe
Exchange, on Monday, at 11 o’clock, when the
committee appointed to confer with tho authorities
of Pittsburg and Allegheny county will make their
report.
Now counterfeit five-dollnr notes on the Alle
gheny Bank of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, aro in
circulation. Also, counterfeit ten-dollar notes on
tho Atlantic Bank of Massachusetts.
We again remind tho holders of the noteß of the
Bank of Pennsylvania that this is the last day on
which their notes can be presented for registration
in season to entitle them to a dividend from the par
funds embraced in the third account of the assignees
of that institution.
We learn that a large number of notes hare been
registered, in consequence of out* having Called
public attention to this subject last week. A very
large amount, however, is still outstanding, and the
neglect of the owners of these notes to protect their
own interests now must subject them to much delay
in receiving their proportion of the assigned assets,
and may result in ultimate loss.
Tbo Philadelphia bwb? Lav© resolved to take
their proportion of tho second fifty millions of the
national loan. They are unanimous in thoir
opinion that tho Secretary of the Treasury should
put into circulation all the demand notes tnat he
can get out. The New York banks appear to be
hesitating about the mattor, several of them being
disposed to make their subscription conditional,
upon an agreement by the Government not to put
out the demand notes at present. Another liberal
feature in the decision of tho Philadelphia banks is
tbo agreement not to pay immediately into the
treasury for the new loan*tbo two years treasury
Dotes held by them, but to retain these until tho
last instalment of the second fifty millions is called
for.
