4711 t 71,4t55. SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 18G3. rta- We can take nomotice of anonymous commu. ieications. We do not return rejected manuscripts. Mr Voluntary correspondence solicited from all parts of the world, and especially from our different military and naval departments. When used, it Will be paid for. The Canvass. for Governor. Another day has passed, and as yet we have heard nothing from Mr. Justice Woon wAnis, or any friend competent tá speak for him,to justify us hi reversing the severe judg ment'We have passed upon his political course. By the words of his mouth we have shown him to be an enemy of the Government, a proclaimed and earnest friend of the South, telling the people of the city of Philadelphia that the slaveholder had a right to take up arms against his country in defence of his slave property, and that, if the Sonth wished to go from the Union, she should be permit ted to go peaceably. That a judge in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and a jurist of distinction, should make such' record, is a painful thing. That he.*should ask to be made Governor of Pennsylvania without' explaining or amending it, is shame ful and humiliating. It is not so much that Mr. Justice WOODWARD should hold these opinions. That, in itself, is a secondary, matter, for we live under a free system of government, and are com pelled to protect and keep in our midst men of all creeds and shades of political faith. But that a judge upon the bench, holding these opinions, openly promulgating them to an excited political assemblage, in the most exciting and critical period of our na tional history,' making them the test and argument of his public career, and noW re hearsing them as a platfohn upon which all partisans, all disaffected and disloyal then. throughout the State will not hesitate to assemble, should come forward with such opinions in slick an hour as, this, and de liberately present for endorsement to the people of a great and loyal State like Penn sylvania, is- a matter of surprise, and of the deepest regret. It is a direct, an open insult to the intelligence and pa triotism of our citizens, which will not be forgotten amid all- the excitements of the canvass, and will not be suffered, when the day of retribution comes, to pass away un rebuked What ! ask the people of Penn sylvania, who know what influences brought the present lamentable civil war ; who know that the insidious teachings of-just such men as Mr. Justice WOODWARD were the seeds that ripened in the bloody harvest ; who gave up their sous and brothers to the holy martyrdom of their country's cause, and who, in time of war, as in the days of peace, have given noble evidence that their proud old Commonwealth is indeed worthy to be called the Keystone of the Federal Union— inn Mr. Justice WOODWARD ask such a people, knowing all they know, doing all they have done, making all the sacrifices they have made for the country's sake, to turn upon their record now, and with a meek, easy smile, proClaim'to the world that their intelligence is all a lie, and their patriotism a sham ? Could any one, not fortified .with the sublimest powers of audacity, make such a request as this of any community of . free and sPirited - citizens ? A.nd yet it seems to us, painful though the fact may be, and hard to accept, that this is Precisely the re quest that Mr. Justice WOODWARD makes of the people Of Pennsylvania—this is pre cisely the insult that is offered to our citi zens. If it were merely this, we might refer to the matter in terms of regret, and then, per haps, take leave of it. But the question presents a far more important aspect, and invites the serious consideration of all who look tolhe future welfare of the country, and value its integrity above aught else ; and all who cannot are but partisans, or worse than partisans. The people of Penn sylvania are asked to belie their past histo ry, that a miserable, selfish faction may be clothed with power to array itself in oppo sition to the General Government, and that in its fatal triumph the landmarks of national integrity may be endangered, if not swept wholly away. This is the simple fact, stripped of all its guises. A faction, - in New _York, representing the city but not the State of New York, was thus, in a fatal moment, clothed with power; and as the result of its triumph we to-day - find a Governor SEYMOUR attempting to instruct the President of the Uni ted States in the duties of his office; and assuming the dictatorial air of one who knows his power, but generously forbears to use it. Another faction in Ohio, representing not the people of that loyal Commonwealth, but the passions and obsti nate prejudices of a number of Secession sympathizers, nominate for Governor of the State a man whose sole hope of election, slight as it may seem, is grounded upon his antagonism to the Government of the United States,' and to every important measure enacted by the last Congress for its perpe tuity and salvation. As loyal citizens who have viewed these facts with pain,- who have pondered in all our waking moments upon the fearful signifi3ance that attaches to them, who have striven to be prepared for whatever dangers may follow in their train, the important lesson they have taught us has not been altogether unheeded. We have felt for months past, that although our -.soldiers in thil field have gained splendid victories, and driven the famished armies of the rebel States back to . their mountain fastnesses, the crisis of the war, and of the nation's fate, has not wholly passed away with the echoing tread of their - retreating columns. 'As long as the spirit of faction exists in the Union, there is .danger for, the perpetuity of the Union. That the war has not extinguished this spirit ; that it still exists, and that, convinced of the hope lessness of the Southern rebellion,.it now seeks to overturn the legitimate authority of the land by - other, and, if possible, more insidious means--these truths are Made plainly , evident to our eyes in the political campaigns of New York and Ohio. The startling lesson they convey to tie is now repeated with tenfold force in the canvass which, has just commenced within our own State.' We have been twice warned-of our new peril, and this is our third warning. ;The peril is too real, and too great to be exaggerated. What Governor BEYMOUR has done, Mr. VALLANDronAm, or 11Ir: Justice WOODWARD, in the same ex alted station would not hesitate to do. If we are prepared to witness the election, of these candidates to the gubernatorial chairs of Ohio and Pennsylvania, we must be pre pared also for'a reassertion of the eiploded dogma . of State sovereignty, which is still, however, a cardinal principle in the so-called Democratic platform, 'and would be enforced upon the slightest pretext. We .see a slight manifestation of the effects of this doctrine in the present insubordination of New York. If allowed to take root as well in Pennsyl vania and Ohio, and once more to gain strength and life, it will not be difficult to foreshadoW the result ; but we may not con template it without a shudder, We have ample time and means to avert the danger, and -if- we are but true to ourselves and to -our past history, we shall not fail to do it. For the result of the struggle in Ohio be tween the friends and enemies of the Go vernment, little apprehension will be felt -among loyal men generally. As a martyr, suffering the pangs of exile at Niagara Falls, Mr. VALLANDIGRAM has lost - ground as ra pidly as he at first gained the sympathy of the thoughtless and disloyal ; and there is every prospect that he will be defeated, unless his name is withdraw,n from, the ticket. In our own State, where the contest is not less mo mentous, the reasons for anticipating an overwhelming triumph, if we make the pro per exertions to secure it, are numerous and satisfactory. In the renomination of Governoi. Currchr for the high office he has filled with honor to himself and with satis faction to his constituency, the people have a standard-bearer whom they know, and' whom they are willing to follow to victory. Let us win the victory, and we shall not only have redeemed our State but have given new strength to the bonds of our Federal 'Union. The Siege or Charleston. The uncertainty which has hitherto - at tended the operations of our arms, in invest ing the chosen strongholds of the rebellion, and which, indeed, has come to be regarded by military writers almost as an essential element of siege operations, so great and so proverbial are the chances of war, would, nevertheless, seen to be wanting in the present movement against Charleston. Every consideration of priiie, of interest, and of military necessity, has been taken into account by the enemy in fortifying that city, and greater exertions have been put forth to make the defences impregnable to land and naval assault than has been the case at any other point on the whole Southern coast. Five Months ago,. the monitor. fleet attacked Fort Sumpter, and, after an engagement of two hours, was driven off in a damaged condi: tion. In these five months the rebel engi neers have not been idle. General 13mAtf- REOARD, the best general in the South. for such a position, has been daily employed throwing up earthworks, erecting new bat teries, repairing the breaches in Fort Sump ter's walls, mounting heavier ordnance, and in every way adding strength to the al ready formidable defences of the post. What exertions our commanders have been making in the same interval, we have not been permitted to know for prudential rea sons; but the result is now felt to be close at hand, and from this we shall learn the whole storyt At almost any moment we may receive the joyful news that Sumpter has capitulated, and that the flag of the Union is floating " over its own once more." It is a characteristic of our people that they are invariably sanguine, of success; and, heretofore, in the progress of the war, they have, in too many instances, found all their fond anticipations to end in bitter disap pointment. In the present campaign against Charleston, the case promises to be different; and we may safely look for" one of the most brilliant, valuable, .and satisfactory victo ries of the war.. Correspondents with the army and navy; not unmindtul of --the strength of the rebel position, nor unmind ful of ourrepulse in March last, are unani mous in the conviction that there cannot be failure now. The possibility of failure, no where seems to be entertained. Even the Charleston newspapers admit that Sumpter is certain to fall, and it would - even ap pear that some of the heaviest . . guns have been, or are being, .removed from the fort to the mainland. General Gfr-- monE is clearly "master of the situation." He has taken up a position where he can dislodge the enemy and from which he him self cannot be dislodged. He has planted his batteries, and victory may even now be said to lie within range of the guns. At the same . time, we, who have been complain ing that the weather is oppressive, should recollect that.the brave soldiers who toil un der a scorching Southern sun, upon the barren sands of Morris Island, and with no twig or shrub ,to shelter them, have likewise suffered from the weather. We should think of the labor that must yet be accomplished before the rebel batteries are silenced, and not be impatient for the news of victory. General GILAIORE'S operations, to be con ducted with the care and caution which insure success, must be carried forward with a deliberation that to some may have an aspect of unnecessary. tardiness. It would be well for these unreasonable persons to reflect that in the siege of Fort Pulaski, which General GmronE conducted to such a completely successful termination, it was not until forty-eight days after the com mencement of, operations that our batteries opened fire. But those forty-eight days of preparation were well spent ; and there is every reason for believing that the prepara tions for the reduction of Sumpter have been as thorough and will result as suc cessfully. By ottr advices, publishedlyester day, we learned that the assault was to be resumed by Gen. GILMORE on Thursday, the thirteenth instant, and the despatches ex pressed the confident opinion that Fort Sumpter would be " a heap of brick dust in six. hours." is certainly hopeful, but it does not 'strike us as being very probable. Speculation, however, is of little value, when the important question has probably been determined ere thii by,one of the fiercest artillery duels of the war. Precisely how it has been determined we expect to learn by the beginning of 'next week, if not sooner, via the Richmond-papers ; but that the general result will be another triumph for the cause of the Union, we do not enter tain a doubt. . Naha Sahib. 'Six years ago, while yet THE PRESS was young, the name of the terrible NANA 5 . A11113 was certain to be met in despatches from the East Indies, the mutiny there being at its worst about that time. • NANA SAurn, a monster of cold-blooded orrielty, bad become notorious for his whOlesale slaughter of helpless women and children. This was the amiable rebel whose health, as an enemy of England, was drank in this ,city on the anniversary of Moon E's birth day, by certain enthusiastic young " Sons of Ireland.!' He.has been much looked for, a heavy price being:set on his head, and has finally been captUred by au infantry captain in Ajrneer, some two hundred and twenty miles from the city of Delhi. There is no doubt of his identity. Much money was found in his posSession, and papers showing plans for another extensive conspiracy in India against English rule. His immediate trial, conviction, and execution would fol low, of course. lie was the head and front, the heart and hand of the Indian mutiny of 1857, and his evil courses have provoked and sealed the de.ath-doom that awaits him. "MADNESS RULES TEE HOUR," remarks Mr. BIOR BRADBURY, afflicted with the ma lady of being candidate for Governor and representative of the small peace Democracy of Maine. The " hour " in sfueStion, we submit, is 'entirely the property of Mr. BRAD BURY, whose complacent insanity droll. But Mi. BRADBURY means that the great loyal majority of the North is mad—mad to be putting down the rebellion ; to have taken Vicksburg ; to repudiate VALLA.NDIGILAM, and not to elect Mr. BRADBURY. It is un fortunate that in the madness of the national victories Mr. BRADBURY and his friends have had no, share, but have kept . their sanity, like their patriotism, in a safe asy lum. It may be wondered that, declaring himself for the 'Union, Mr. BRADBURY makes war upon the Government, and utters Sem-, sionism. Strange, to be sure, that the South • should be so far North—that we should find South Carcilina in Maine ! But the poles are topsyturvy in Mr. BRADBURY'S Democracy, 'and "madness rules the hour." What if VALLANDIGRA.II, Mr.- WOOD, and Mr. BRADBURY ,were the rulers of the - People ! TEE ELECTION of intelligent and respecta ble delegates to the city and State conven tions is of the first importance. Incompe tent or unworthy delegates are not to be trusted in the nomination of representatives of the people. In this month the National .Union men of Philadelphia will, according to announcement, hold their primary elec iions. It must be remembered that in August many of our best citizens are away from the city; probably two-thirds of our leading business men are now by'the sea- Ehore or in the mountains. Those who re main have thus additional reason for ac tivity, and all who wish to make sure of the nominations of good Union men for city and county officers, and for the Legislature, should not neglect the ward elections. No man can neglect this important work, and say that he has done his duty. NEW JERSEY EDITORIAL MEETING.- Yesterday the semi-annual meeting of the New Jersey Editorial Association was held at Congress Hall, Cape Island City. The president is M. B. HAMILTON, Esq., and the secretary is JOHN F. BABcocx, Esq. The NeVersey Association, as in former years, has bltended an invitation to many of their editorial brethren outside of their own State, kindly providing them with free passes on the Camden and Amboy railroad and on the West-Jersey railroad. As on preceding oc casions, alsd, the editorial fraternity dined together. They are in very good hands at Congress Hall, under the care of Mr. WEST, so well known here, in other days, as lessee of Jones' Hotel. A Qlth,STlON:—Adj 4 t Gen. SPEACJE, Of New York, reports to Governor SEl'ArOlill that New York city has sent to the war an excess of men over her'quot'a. If wo may be permitted to ask the question, is this the same Adjutant General who, in January last, officially reported to the Legislature of New York that New York city was over eighteen thousand men behind her quota ? IZriksFilNGß'ON',s Special Despatches to The Press,. WASHINGTON, August 14, 1863 Army of the Potomac. Information. Was received from the Army of the Potomac early this morning that a body of parti sans came, upon our signal party, on Water Moun tain, three miles north of Warrenton, and captured three signal officers and some small telescopes. All the officers subsequently effected their escape. A large telescope used by the party ivas conveyed from the station, and, therefore, did not fall into the hands of the rebels. Gen. MEADE is on a brief visit to Washington. Capt. Ilirsity PAGE, quartermaster of the head quarters, is the recipient of a magnificent gold and silver-mounted sword, costing about $5OO, as a testi monial from the employees under him while at Juba Dam, near Acquia Creek. Major Gen.'WARREN took temporary command of the 2d Corps d' Armte to•day. Diplomatic. A diplomatic party set out this evening on an ex cursion among the lakes and rivers of New York. The party consists; as we understand it, of the Se- Cretary of State; Baron GEROLT, the minister of Prussia; Mr. MoLinn, the minister of Nicaragua; Mr. TAssexA, the minister of Spain; Lord LroN, the British minister; Mr. STOECKLE, the Russian minister; Mr. Dinner:En, the French minister; Mr. SCIILIODEN, the Hanseatic minister; Mr. BERTI MATTI, the Italian minister; Oount Frynn, the Swe dish minister; Mr. ASTA BURNAGA, the Chilian minister, and the several secretaries and attachds of the respective legations. The first point in their excursion is understood to be Sharon Springs. W. A. SHANNON, an agent of the Treasury De partment; who went to England several months ago, has returned to Washington. The object of his mis• sion was entirely -successful. Ile secured the con. viction of the two counterfeiters of 'United States notes, at the York Aesizes. One party swore that over three thousand of,ten•dollar bills had' been: printed, and the plates destroyed. It is believed that this is the only attempt made to utter such paper in England. The specimens brought hither are only tolerably well executed, and could easily be detected in this country, by the poor quality of the ink, and the rudely engraved likeness of President LINCOLN. Justice WELLER received Mr. SHANNON in a re• markably friendly manner, provided hini with a special seat in the court, and complimented him upon his testimony. Operations on the Coast of Florida. Lieutenant Commander ENGLIBII, in communica ting to the Navy Department on .Tuly 28th, states that, under instructions from Acting Reit' Ad miral BA.inur, he assumed command of the blockade of the, eastern coast of Florida. He despatched an expedition to Musquito Inlet, and gives the result as follows: "We captured one sloop loaded with cotton and one schooner not laden, and caused them to burn a large quantity of cotton on shore ; burnt and destroyed several ves sels, one of which had her cargo in and was about to sail. We landed a force and destroyed all the houses that had been occupied by troops. In land ing, the party was fired upon by a few stragglers. The conduct of all connected with the expedition was most prarheworthy, and from the handsome dash in which it was made I attribute our success, par ticularly in coining off without having any one in jured. The boats scOured the extensive lagoon for some twenty miles, which is as far up as a vessel run ning the blockade can go." Official Despatches from Charleston. Despatches were received from Admiral DAHL. OREN to-day, They are principally of a business character, and not, therefore, proper for publication. From the preparations made by himself and General Grimorti,, as stated by both these officers, the pros pect of success in the pending attack on the enemy's fortifications is in the highest degree encouraging. Their representations are of such a character as to admit of but little, if any, doubt, of a triumphant result. The Fight oil Portland. The Navy Department has heard nothing ex,cept ing what has been published in the newspapers con cerning a reported fight on the coast of Maine, be tween a gunboat and a rebel privateer. The Postmaster General has ordered that all mail matter for places on the Mississippi river between Cairo, Illinois, and New Orleans shall be sent via Cairo. Letters, &c., for New Orleans, from an At lantic port will continue to go by sea, unless other wise directed by the writers. Correspondence between the Provost Mar- shal General and Governor Curtin. WAR DEPARTMENT, PROVOST GENERAL'S OFFICE, WASHINGTON, D.C., August 10, 1863. Ills Excellency A. G. Curtin, Governor of Pennsylvania: Sin : Mr. P. 1., Hackenberg, of Milton, Northum berland county, has called upon me with a letter from you, and a statement of the number and names of men claimed to have been furnished by the town of Milton. I have written to the Go vernors of several States explaining my letter of the 19th of July to Governor Andrew, and I will now inform you what I consider to be the method of establishing the claims of a town to credit for an excess of troops furniahed. The question whether a town has actually fur nished a surplus over former calls can only be de cided by ascertaining what former calls amounted to, and how many were actually furnished. The quotas of States were assigned by the President to the States at large, and the distributions among the towns and counties was entrusted to the State au thorities. The records of this department clo not show what the quotas of the towns were, and I have, therefore, requested the Governors of the States to inform me how the quota of the State.was appor tioned among the towns and counties. Hence, to prove that any town or county is entitled to credit for a:surplus of men actually furnished, I deem it necessary to establish the following points : First, That a given quota was assigned by coupe lent State authority to the town. Second, That that quota was a proper one ; that is, that it was sufficient, :with the quotas of the other towns and counties, to make up the entire quota of of the State, and ioportional to the population of the town; and Third, That the number claimed has been actually furnished, and this can be established by comparing the names of the men claimed to have been fur nished, with those on the muster-in rolls in the office of the Adjutant General of thk army. Verp respectfully, your obedient servant, • JAMES B. FRY, Provost Marshal General. GOVERNOR OURTIDPS REPLY. PENNSYLVANIA EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, HARRISBURG, Pa., August. 11, 1563 COLONEL : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th inst., in which you explain your letter to Governor Andrew, of the 19th of July last, which has been published in the papers of this State. Enclosed you will find a copy of the apportion. ment made to the draft of last October, and the quota assigned to each county in this State. You will notice that your letter is answered, in a great mea sure, by the paper itself, which shows the manner in which the quota of each county was ascertained, based upon contributions of men to the public aer• vice up to that time. The quotas of the boroughs, wards, and townships were ascertained by the corn nissioners of the several counties of the State, and were adjusted in proportion to the men previously furnished by them. Copies of all such apportion ments ought to be, and I presume are, on Hie in the War Department. If not, they will be furnished promptly at your request, This subject is exciting much interest in Pennsyl vania, and it would seem to be important to the public service that ajust settlement of the number of men to be taken from counties or smaller munici palities, should he made with all possible despatch. For the purpose of correcting the impression as to the means of relief to localities, where the people think injustice has been done, and to save -the ex pense and inconvenience of journeys by citizens of different anti distant parts of the State to this capi tal, I deem it proper to publish your letter and this reply. I am, Colonel, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, A. G. CURTIN. Coloiael J. B. PRY, Provost Marshal General. The. War with the Indians. Curo.soo, Augustl4.—A special despatch from St, Paul says the reported death of Little Crow has . re ceived a positive confirmation from his sou, who was captured by a detachment of soldiers, on the 29th of July. Advices from General Sibley, to the 22d, have been received. He reached a camp where six hundred lodges had been, but the Indians had left.

Yonx, August 14.—The Common Council passed an ordinance, to-day, appropriating three mil lion dollars to exempt poor men from the draft, by furnishing substitutes. Firemen are to be exempted without regard,to their pecuniary resources. The Empress says : "On the passage of the bill by the Board of Aldermen, which will meet to-morrow, it will be signed by the Mayor." A resolution was also adopted asking Gov.

THE WAR IN'THE SOUTHWEST. lhodin oT the Rebel Lieut. Gen. Holmes— Lorityn Killed at liemphls. , ST. Lome, August 14.--Intelligenee has been re ceived here of the death of the rebel Gen. Holden. He died from delirium tremens. Lieutenant General Theophilus Hunter 'Holmes was born in North Carolina, about 1809, and gradu ated at West Point, in 1829. He served in various parts of the country, and, when the rebellion broke out, was stationed at Fort Columbus, New York harbor, in charge of the general recruiting service. He went in the latter part of 1860 to North Carolina, and resigned his commission in the U. S. Army. April 28, 1881. He has lately had command of the rebel forces in Arkansas, where he died. _ IVlEurms, August 14.—The following are the par ticulars of the shooting of Colonel Ciornyn by Lieut. Col. Bowen: The court martial had closed for deliberation over the evidence of Col. Phillips. Colonel Bowen met Col. Cornyn in an anteroom, and said, "I under stand you. intend to impeach my testimony. Do you, or do you noti" Col. Cornyn replied, "I do, sir." Col. Bowen then said, "You cannot do it.". Col. Cornyn answered, "I will do so. Go away from me, and let me alone ;" at the sometime strik ing Col. Bowen, and knocking him over the table and grappling with. him. After a souffle, the two men were separated, Col. Cornyn putting his hand upon his revolver ; whereupon Col. Bowen drew his revolver and tired four shots, all of which took effect. Col. Cornyn fell dead inside of the court room. A commission will be convened to learn all the facts. Cola Cornyn was one of the moat enterprising officers under Gen. Hurlbut, and was distinguished in a number of successful raids. °eine, August U.—Brigadier. Generals Kimball, Prentiss, And Townsend, passed through here yes terday, going North. .

It will be so if the supremacy of the Government be not before declared from the lakes to the Gulf. Mississippi has given us, at parting, one more ex hibition of its climate in its many storms. We no longer wonder at its gulley-washed surface. Storms come up with surprising suddenness,darken the sky, but late so bright, dash down immense nuantities of water, accompanied with thunder - and lightning such as we have not -in the North. It pours down in torrents. I have seen, with an hour's rain; a channel fifteen feet deep and as many wide filled to the brim. It may be bard to imagine, but it is very disagreeable in realization, how thin muslin shelters stand such peltings. Many officers have nothing but "flies," and it requires the strongest efforts to keep them up. Standing ankle deep in water, all, your goods and chattels covered with gum blankets, you have to take it like ducks. - Excessive heat, hard service, sudden cessation from active exertion, half ripe fruits, damp nights, and hot days, are beginning to tell on us, but hap pily a few days , will see us on our way Worth, NEW Yonx, August 14.—8 y private advices to July 20 from San Salvador, we learn that Gen.

The Guatemalan troops, since the conflict with him, had suffered much from incle mency of the weather. About a third of the force had deserted and marched home. Carrera also found himself deceived by the would be-President Duenis, and the priests, instead of forming the people, rallied around Barrios in the capital. The hitter, being aware of the condition of the Guatemalans,sent out Gen. Cabanas to attack them, and BuceeedEd in driving them back, recaptur• ing the cannon lost by the defection of Gonzales. Several siege guns were also captiired. Barrios was at the head of 4,000 men, and being daily reinforced. He was confident of being able to re-establish himself on a firmer footing than ever.

MORRIS ISLAND, July 29, 1863, To the Editor of The Preest Sin : In the Philadelphia Press of July 20th, re ceived today, we notice an extract dated New York, July 18th, which says: "On the 12th inst. General Gilmore ordered the storming of Fort Wagner by the 7th Connecticut, 9th Maine, 47th and 48th New York Volunteers, and the two first-named - regiments had actually reached the top of the parapets when a murderous fire drove them back. The 76th Penn 111,1vania, which was to support them, did not come up in time, and our troops had to withdraw." This report we beg to set right : On the morning of the Ilth.General Strong landed part of his brigade on Morris island, which took possession of the south end, while the balance were coming across Light house-Inlet in small boats, The 7th Connecticut, 9th Maine, 3d New Hampshire, and '76th Pennsyl vania advanced to within range of Forts Wagner and Sumpter, when we were ordered from the beach, and told to form lines and protect ourselves behind the smell sand hills. We lay here all day, in the scorching sun, and under a continual shower of shot and shell. In the evening Col. Strawbridge asked Gen. Strong to relieve his regiment, as the men were worn out, not having had any sleep the two nights previous, and nothing to eat for twenty-four hours. But the General refused, and we all silently sub mitted, having the utmost confidence in him as a brave and fearless leader, as well as a soldier and gentleman. Soon after dark we were ordered for. ward a short distance,.and there slept on our arms, the field officers and Capt. Littell standing watch. At 2 o'clock in the morning .the General rode up and said : "Colonel, form your line ; ten minutes more work and we are done. I want you to support the skirmishers." We started, and in our march the 9th Maine got between us and the skirmishers, and when they were ordered to the left we could see no one in our front. Then the command, "double quick," was given, when every man sprang forward, and it was with difficulty that some of the officers could keep back the stronger in line with the weaker. On arriving at the edge of the moat they came to a sudden halt, finding it impossible to go further, commenced firing, and when we had fired from two to three rounds each, the order came froth the left to fall back. We supposed it was from Gen. Strong, knowing he was in that vicinity. We all fell back, and, I am sorry to say, it was not in very good order. Many of the 7th, Connecticut were in our ranks, and some of ours in tkeirs, and many of the 9th Maine on the extreme right. The dark ness prevented men from distinguishing their own regiments. When we had formed line, on the ground we had occupied the previous evening, the roll was , called, and out of 367 that went into the. fight 167 were missing, of which not one man halyet been found. A correspondent says : "I have seen many of the 9th Maine and 70th Pennsylvania on Morris and Folly Islands, either afraid or ashamed to join their regiments." This is not true. Another writer from James Island pays " the '76th Penn- sqlvania refused to support the 6th Connecticut." They were never ordered to do so ; and if so, the offi cers should be disgracefully dismissed the service, and the men sent to the Tortugas. We would think it no disgrace to be sent to Tortugas with our men, ratherthan be kept in a department where such things are recklessly written for publication. Such things have a tendency to demoralize and destroy the reputation of those accused for ever: May God forgive these friends of the army. . • It is said by another :writer that " Colonel Rod man was the only wounded officer brought from the front." Major Hicks was brought from the'front, and Captain Littell was wounded and fell on the edge of the moat. Adjutant Miller was shot, and fell into the moat. Lieutenant Stumbaugh was last seen on the edge of the moat, trying to find a crossing place, and many of the men were seen fall ing into , the water and mud. We have not a word of reproach to cast upon any officer or man engaged in the assault, believhcg every one tried, at least, under the circumstances, to do the best he could. But we do not believe that fOur companies of any regiment, with the ordinary support, could take any battery in South Carolina, for after Fort Wagner had been bombarded, more or less, for six days, by our irorsclads, monitors, the Iroosides, several Wooden vessels, and our land batteries, it was again stormed by twelve or fourteen regiments, when all were repulsed, with a loss of 1,500 men. In this charge we lost but twenty-four men, killed, wounded, and missing. To-night we go on advance picket for twenty-four hours. Last night one-half of our force worked all night. The only COmplaint that can be heard is, "I don't like to risk my life and get no credit for it, brit instead be called a coward." Yet we hope the day is not far dietant when we will be allowed an investigation, and only the guilty made to suffer. Lieutenant Colonel Campbell, it is necessary to say, was with the regiment in the first charge, and was not sick in hospital, as reported. Colonel Strawbridge wass - also with the regiment, and only stayed back on account of a severe rupture, which prevented him from keeping up on a double quick. Respectfully yours, L. A., Battery No. 4. The Draft - in Netv 'York. To the Editor of The Press Six: The published correspondence between the President of the United States and the Governor of the State of Nets York, in relation 'to the draft, has led me to examine certain clippings from newspapers made by me during the past year,' and I find in my possession a printed extract from the report made to the Legislature of the State of New York, by the Adjutant General of that State, in January, 1863, From this extract it appears that the Adju- tant General officially reported to the Legisla ture that the State of New York had failed to supply the full quota of men required by the last call for volunteers, and he further reported the deficit to be twentyeight thousand Live hundred and seventeen men (28,50); of which deficit eighteen thousand five hundred and thirty-two (18,532) were due by New York city, and that one thousand seven hundred and fifty were due by the city of Brooklyn; total due by the cities of New York and Brooklyn twenty thoutiand two hundred and eighty-two (20,2132). The printed extract in my possession from the Adjutant General's report does not set forth the districts that failed to furnish the remaining eight thousand two hundred and thirty-five men; hence I am unable to determine if the entire deficit of New York State, is due from the nine dis tricts so repeatedly referred to by Governor Sey mour as being unjustly dealt with by the enrolling officers. But the cities of New York and Brooklyn are within those nine districts, and even-handed justice demands that those cities should be com pelled, if they cannot be persuaded, tofurnish their quotas of men for the war. To my mind, the action of Governor Seymour is s singular exhibition •of convenient forgetfuln e as. He knows that the Adjutant General of his own State has officially declared that over twenty thou sand men are due on former requisitions by the cities of New York and Brooklyn, and yet he has the hardihood to charge the Government with in justice to those cities when it endeavors to exact from them the performance -of duties, which up to this hour, they have sought to evade. Inasmuch that Governor Seymour has alluded to the political coMplextion of the nine districts which he alleges have beerrunjustly dealt with, I will here state, that, when the official returns of the last Gubernatorial election in the State of New York came to hand, I found that General Wadsworth, the Union candidate for Governor, came down to New York city with a clear majority of thirty-five thousand over Seymour. Here be was met by the combined votes of the cities of New York, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, which not only overcame the Wadsworth majority of thir ty•five thousand. but actually elected Seymour Go vernor of New York State by ten thousand. There is no fact on earth more absolute than that the State of New York would now have the brave-hearted, patriotic Wadsworth for its Governor, had it not been for the combined vote of a region wholly com nosed within sound of the bell of New York City Hall, within whiCh area, recent events have demon strated, are collected as vile , an aggregation of vil lains as pollute the earth, and who, in addition to casting their suffrages for Seymour, have selected as their fit representatives in the Congressof the Uni ted States, men who, in 1870, exerted themselves, - as far as their personal safety would permit, to take New York city out of the Union. I am, respectfully, yours, W. Loyal Generals.

A .correspondent of the Missouri Democrat fur nish()) the following further particulars of the brutal murder near Island No. 10, in the Mississippi: Yesterday, the 4th, a white man who held no com mission wider any Government, established or assumed, unaccountably in command of a body of negroes, some forty five, not one of whom was enlisted or otherwise in the service of the United States, at Island No. 10, sent eleven of these men to the house of a family, named Beckman, living near the line in .Tennessee, consisting of eight, males and females, with instructions to bring from thence two contra band boys, peaceably if possible ; but should resist ance be offered, to kill every member of the family and to burn their house. , They proceeded there and literally fulfilled orders, with the exception of firing the house ; they sacked it, however, and in this condition it was found by a party , of-United States Cavalry that happened there by,the merest accident, and soon after the massacre took place. Immediately upon ascertaining the di rection which the fugitives had taken, the cavalry started in pursuit, overtaking . nine of the negroes ere they had crossed to the island. Another was subsequently captured—by whom, or where, I was unable to learn ; but I- understand that ten of the negroes, Dwyer, and a man called Fevran, who is suspected of being implicated in some way, are in confinement at Island No. 10, and no. doubt remains of all parties concerned having speedy and sure justice (lone them.

A. the victims, a Mr. Beckham, thirty-five years of age, and father of the children, came to the surface, and taken to the shore. His hands and feet were tied together, a deep gash in his back appa rently made by an axe, and that portion of his fore head immediately above his left eye torn away. The body of an old man, of sixty or seventy years of age, and that of a boy of six, were recovered previously; but those of the three daughters, aged from eight to fourteen, have not yet been found. From the appearance of the corpses, and the con. fessions of the negroes, they fought most desperate ly, but were overpowered. The mother was away from the house visiting, and her son, a lad of thlr. teen,, was also absent, at school, at the time. These were the only ones of the fa (Lily who escaped. POLITICAL INTELLIGENW. We find all the loyal- newspapers throughout the State unanimous in their approval of Governor Curtin's renomination, and in the prediction that victory will be the result. This is as it should be. When Pennsylvania sent forth her sons to war upon treason in the South, Governor Curtin went with them, ministered to their wants, alleviated their hardships in the field and camp, speaking words of encouragement and pride to those who had deserved well of their State. He was with them in their joys and sorrows—after every period of victory and de feat. And so earnestly and faithfully did he labor in their behalf, that at this time his name is men. tioned with love and pride in the tent of every Pennsylvania soldier. The Columbia Republican ob serves that "to Governor Curtin belongs much of the glory that Pennsylvania has gained, and much of the gratitude that the people should feel in having escaped conquest and devastation. This man can, and wira. be, triumphantly elected." Mr. Justice Woodward, the present nominee of the so-called Democratic party, was one of the Sena torial delegates in the State Convention to propose amendments to the Constitution, which met at Har risburg May 2, 1837. He proposed an amendment to the Constitution requiring all foreigners to reside in the Commonwealth twenty-one years before being naturalized. In the debate on this proposition he said: "It is my honeat impression that we do but squander those privileges in conferring them upon every individual who chooses to come and take ahem." Again be said : "I believe that, if the time has not yet come, it will speedily come, when it will be -indispensably necessary either for this body or some other body of this State, or of the United States, to inquire Whether it is not right to put SOMe plan into execution -by which foreigners should be prevented from controlling our elections and brow beating American citizens at the polls."—(See Debates of Convention, Trol. 5, page 146.) And again, we rind the following expressions from his mouth in volume 6, pages 4467: "Why should we open- these- great political privileges to every species of character that may light on our shore? They (foreigners) have no sympathy- in common with us; they have no qualifications to render them fit recipients of these high political privileges." It strikes us that these sentiments are very similar to those which, in- the Know-Nothing party, were re garded by Democrats as odious and proscriptive. It has been claimed as Mr. Justice Woodward's chief virtue that he is - " consistent," and, in fairness, we must hence infer that he is so in the present in stance. —The Huntingdon Globe gives this reason for sus taining the nominee of the Pittsburg Convention: " We raise to our masthead to-day the names of An drew G. Curtin and Daniel Agnew, beeause we be lieve them to be the nominees of "the party which firmly sustains the constituted authorities of the na tion in enforcing all the laws thereof and in protect ing the principles upon which the Government rests, and is, therefore, at once the party of law, of liber ty, and patriotism." The reason, we think, will be generally considered a satisfactory one by reasonable people. The Harrisburg Telegraph says: " Pennsylvania, by the unmeasured toil of her Executive, has been enabled to take better care of her wounded and sick soldiers than any other State in the Union. The example in this respect has called forth the generous emulation of the authorities of other Comnion wealthS, until the hospitals which have been made the retreat of the soldiers of the Union have be come the admiration of the civilized world." The Erie Gazelle says of Governor Curtin : "He is eminently the choice of the masses of the people, who look up to him as their own chosen leader and friend. He is no demagogue. Had he been, the people would have esteemed him less." The Gazette likewise adds what is 'equally true, and will be equally appreciated by all thoughtful men and the community, that "he has been the conservator of our best interests; the friend of the poor soldier; the advocate of the State claims, and in a period of great peril the success of all his measures has been truly remarkable." The Pittston Gazette says : "We are happy to be able to announce to our readers the fact that Governor Andrew G. Curtin has been placed in nomination for our next Governor. There is proba bly no better man in the State to fill that position in times like these." The same journal also remarks : "In the nomination of Judge Agnew, of Beaver county', as the Union candidate for Supreme Judge, the State Ponvention has givenus a really tirat-class man, well known in all the western portion of the State as a sound lawyer, learned, clear•headed, and eminently fitted for the highest judicial position. His election will be a valuable addition to the bench of the Supreme Court." Ship News. NEW Yong, August 14 —Arrived, ship City of Montreal, from Newport, England • brigs L. M.

'The character of the men com posing this organization, and the valuable service they have rendered since they left Philadelphia, should - have insured for them a warm reception by our citizen soldiery. The people. appreciating the merit of the company individually and collectively, accord them great praise, and it was a universally expressed regret that they were not complimented with an appropriate military escort. The men bear the appearance of veterans, and their sunbrowned faces and muscular forms were evidence of the cam paign they endured. The company is composed almost entirely of Philadelphians, and the friends who greeted their arrival were numerous. The Battery was commanded as follows: Captain, Matthew Hastings %lieutenants, John V. Creely, L. B. Poulterer, J f B. Roberts, and John Satter. The Battery, after leaving the city, was first en camped near Washington. After Pope's defeat at Bull Run they guarded the Manassas -Railroad and the ford at Wolf-run Shoals. At Chancellor ville they acted as a reserve, and guarded the rear of the army during the retreat. They were trans ferred to the north side of the Potomac, with the artillery reserve, when the army marched into Ma ryland. On the 6th of July they were merged with Meade's army, and were incorporated with the Ist Division of the 3d Corps, commanded by Gen. Ward. With it tbey harassed Lee's rear while cross ing the Potomac at Williamsport 3 were removed down-the river to Berlin, where they crossed upon a pontoon bridge, and marched down the valley towards Warrenton. On Monday, the 22d of July, they were with their corps in the fight at Wapping Heights, in the Manassas Gap, and were under fire the next day at Front Royal, where the gallant charge was made by a portion of the Excelsior Bri gade, and the enemy driven from their position after a short engagement. 'FITE 3D MARYLAND CAVALRY.—OoIoneI Charles Carroll Tevis, a graduate of West Point, in 1E49, is now engaged in raising the 31. Maryland Cavalry. His recruiting officers are : Captain Gre gory, Captain Pemberton, Lieutenant Eakin, and Lieutenant Davis. Their station is at Fort Dela ware. Of the many prieoners who have taken the oath of allegiance, i six hundred have already en rolled themselves n the new regiment. Among them are men from almost every State in the country. They are fine hearty-looking-set of men, having been well fed by the Government since their capture. Colonel • Tevis has .seen considerable service in.the United States Mount ed Rifles. He also wired in Turkey five years as lieutenant colonel of cavalry, and was deco rated for gallant conduct on the field of battle tbree times by the Ottoman Government. During the last year he was lieutenant colonel of the 4th Delaware volunteers, and led several expeditions from Yorktown, Va., in one of which he pushed as far as Aylett's Station with two- hundred infantry. This was within eighteen miles of Richmond, where he destroyed more than a million dollars' worth of rebel property, including a cannon foundry and several machine shops. Though surrounded by a greatly superior force of rebels, yet he suc ceeded in manfully cutting his way through all ob. stacks with alight loss. He was selected by. Gene ral Schenck to organize the 3d Maryland Regiment, and has been detached from hie old regiment by the Secretary of War for this express purpose. It may seem strange, indeed, to many, that rebel prisoners are so willing to join the Union army. The fact must have .a crushing effect upon the Northern peace men or rebel sympathizers. Me rather likely that the regiment, when full and ready to march, will come to Philadelphia by steam boat. If so, they will be received at the Refresh ment Saloons, where they can partake of the hospi talities of the people of Philadelphia. These men all passed through the city as prisoners of war ; then they were rag g ed, dirty,. and emaciated.- Now they have greatly improved in health, and in the great and honor able uniform of their own Government, will yet do deeds to atone for the past : ANNUAL EXHIBITION OF -THE PENNSYL VANIA IlonyronLynnAL SOCIETY.—The annual ex hibition of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society will take place on the 15th, 16th, and 17th of Sep tember next, at the Academy of Music. This exhi bition-which has been for some time in contempla tion, gives every promise of being a most unique and elegant affair. The gentlemen who are interested in it are such as to insure a display of unwonted bril. Haney and grandeur. The fruit and floral offerings, which at the monthly exhibition, and were private collections, have been the object of so much sedulous culture and genuine admiration, will doubtless afford a spectacle of unrivalled beauty. Members are en titled to a season ticket for themselves, and two sin gle adinission tickets for ladies. ATLANTIC CITY.—The weather at this popular summer resort is decidedly pleasant and re freshing. Many of our best citizens are sojourning at the shore. There is plenty of room at first-class houses.

LANDING OF IiIINPOWDER. — WOrd Waß left at the Central Station on Thursday afternoon, by an affrighted individual who holds a position at The gasworks all Point Breeze, that a vessel was. traleading a large quantity of gunpowder at or near the Point. Re was under the impression that something was wrong. High Constable Clark was delegated privately to examine the atrair, and he ascertained that the landing was legitimate. The powder:flad been sent from Duponts mills to be stored away in the magazine. There are doubtless many persons in our city who suppose the magazine was removed months ago. There was eh act of the Legislature passed in regard to its removal, munici pal action had been taken in reference to it during several years, petitions from the people were freely signed to have the magazine taken to some other place; but it _atilt remains, near Point Breeze, and more dangerous now than ever, from the fact that at times hundreds of tons of pow der are stored therein. Philadelphia may be con sidered as resting on the crust of a volcano. An electric stream might fire the migazine, nod, in a terrible moment, millions of dollars' worth of proper ty might be lost, and thousands of lives destroyed. The gas works would, in case of an explosion, be en tirely demolished, and the city be shrouded in dark ness at night. Why the magazine has not been removed, as the great body of the people of Phila delphia have demanded for yearn, is a matter that may well amaze everybody. There is much higher ground remote from the built-up' parts of the city, altogether better for storage of gunpowder than the present location. The people have often expressed their most unqualified condemnation of the present situation of the magazine, andit would be entirely wholesome if the auhorities of Phila delphia should listen to their united voice upon this eurlject. The banks of the Schuylkill, in the First ward, aftbrd a- very : pleasant drive on a summer afternoon, and the many hundreds of ladies, gentle men, children, whole families, who seek pleasure that way, are lulled into security because they think the magazine has been removed. The thousands of ladies and gentlemen who often assemble at the Point Breeze race course might he blown into eteN city in a moment when they least expected' it. It has not been very long since lightning shivered a- tree. near the magazine. We well remember that a willow tree within a few yards of the place was splintered by an electric shock at the time Mr. Rol lick was the keeper. He was very solicitous that the event should he kept out of the newspapers, for fear ot frightening the citizens of the city. The fast of the " struck by lightning" was published, and it was from thie the people began to express their opinion in favor of the removal of the magazine. There is powder enough in the magazine now to de stroy buildings as far as the very heart of the city, in case of any accident by fire or electricity. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE- United States District' Court—Judge- Cad- vt a lad er. IVTIOLIISALB FRAUDS UPON. THE GOVEIINWENT MASTERS-FORGED PAY•ROLLS A series of frauds upon the Government officiate have been successfully prosecuted for some time by means of forged and fictitious pay, rolls, and recently two parties (Jacob Minkler and Lawrence 3. Steele) were arrested, charged with these offences, and yes terday one of them (Milkier) had a hearing before Judge Cadwalader on a writ of habeas corpus. It appears that the game was commenced as early as February last. Steel being the principal in the business'. He fabricated the necessary papers, and from time to time drew moneys from various pay masters in Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, Washington, and Harrisburg, by representing him self as Lieutenant M. Y. De Forrest, Lieutenant Colonel William C. Ralston, Captain A. D. S. Ty ler, and Lieutenant Isaac F. Massey. The plan was to represent. himself a disabled of icer,lmme on fur lough, and in this manner he was successful in vic timizing Paymasters Taggart, Lynn, Fries, Lee, and Pratt, in sums ranging from $3OO up to $9OO. They were arrested and sent, to Fort Lafayette, where Steel made a full e,onfession of the trauma tion, which, as it embodies a detailed statement 'of the swindle, we preaent. 'After stating how he became acquainted with Milkier, and the progress of their intimacy, he says : " Minkler and I talked the thing over how we could manage to defraud the Government by draw ing pay on officers' leaves of absence, and as I had been some time in the service, and understood mill -tory miatters pretty well, we concluded to try it ; we made our first attempt in Philadelphia upon Major Taggart, and succeeded in drawing from him, .under the name and title of Limit: Col. Win. C. Ralston, of the 81st N. Y.Vole., I think four months' pay, amounting to between six and seven hundred !dollars ; Minkler and myself being in my room at the Continental Hotel, we called a servant (black 'man) and sent him to Taggart's office for blank pay oils, which he brought to us. We took the rolls and went up to Minkler's house ; remained all night, and the next day took carriage at the Continental Hotel and went to Surgeon Smith's, in Locust street, I think, near, Thirteenth, where I got a certificate of disability; we made out the pay accounts and went to Paymaster Taggart and received a check paya ble to bearer ; I drew the money at the treasury and divided it with Minkler ; in about a week or so, being again out of funds. we concluded to try Har risburg; • we went there, I think, about the last of February or first of March, and succeeded in ob taining from Paymaster Major Lyon two months' pay, as Major White, ,of the 81st Regiment New York Volunteers; the pay accounts and papers on which we obtained the pay were made by us in Phi ladelphia before we, went to Harrisburg; we re ceived over $3OO ; the check was drawn payable to the order of Maj. White, and I drew the money at abank in Harrisburg ; Minkler came into the bank soon after I did, and identified me"; we returned to Phila delphia, and in about a week or so went again to Harrisburg and drew another two months' pay as Major White, amounting to over S3CO, as before; a few days afterwards we went to Baltimore together; stopped at the Maltby House., and while there suc ceeded in obtaining from Major Brice—(the check, however, was given by Major Etting, I believe, was the name, Major Brice telling Etting it was all right, and asking him to pay it, he (Brice) being very busy at the time)—l received a check for between $5OO and $6OO as Major White, 81st New York Volun teers, aid-de-camp, staff of Major General Rose crane ; having received the money, we again re turned to Philadelphia, and remained there, as near as I can remember, two weeks ; I concluded then to go to Washington, I think, the last of March if stopped at Willard's, and succeeded whilst there in obtaining the pay of second lieutenant for four months, amounting, I believe, to about $4OO. as Lieutenant DeForest, Acting aid...le:camp, stall of General Steele, from Major .}lutchins, paymaster; returning to Philadelphia, and remaining awhile till again out of money ; we went to New York early in April, and stopped at the St. Nicholas Hotel; we succeeded in obtaining directly, and thiough the aid of agents, from Paymaster Lee, about $9OO, as Lieu tenant DeForest, Captain Tyler, and Lieuttnant Massey, and from Paymaster Major Pratt, through the aid of agents, $223.20, as Captain Tyler and Lieutenant Massey; I prepared all the leaves of absence upon' which pay was obtained, in my own handwriting ; that at Washington and thet at New York were in the same language except the date, and purported,to be signed by Henry Stone, Lieut. and A. A. A. General. By command of Major General Rosecrans. On this confession Steel has been committed to answer. 'Winkler, however, denies all part and lot in the enterprise,' and alleges that he is entirely innocent of all complicity in it, and has not received an 7 por tion of the money obtained in this way. The writ of habeas corpus yesterday was sued out by him, and on the hearing tne following testimony was adduced : H. S. Olcntt sworn—l am a special commissioner from the War Department; have had that position since the first of November last ;. first saw the de fendant on the 10th of July at Fort Lafayette : visited there for the purpose, if possible, of ascertaining who their agents in the frauds might be ; saw Steel first; I told them my errand; Steel denied having any knowledge of fraud;'Major Lee, paymaster, and Lieut. Wood, of the regular army, were present ; I made no promises or threats, as my business was simply to ascertain if other parties wereimplicated ; I saw Steel first and Minkler afterwards, in order to ascertain if their stories agreed ; my object was not to ascertain if they were guilty, but if other parties were interested ; Minkler denied his guilt without my charging him with being so ; I asked Minkler if he knew Steel ; how long he had known him ; whether he had been in his company, and whether be had shared with him any moneys obtained frau dulently from the Government; Minkler answered my. question readily. The witness was not allowed to give the conver sation with the prisoner. Itayor Robert M. Lee, paymaster at New York, was called as witness. but was not allowed to detail a conversation with the prisoners as they were in custody at the time. Mr. Merchant, a clerk in Major Lee's office, testi fied that he had an interview with Minkler, at Min kler's suggestion ; Minkler wished to know whether he could be released upon refunding the money; witness told him he could not tell anything about that, but his advice to all who hsd done wrong was to right it at once. < hlinkler said it was hard that he should be bejd when he had nothing to do with it. Witness replied that this statement clashed with that made by Steel, who had asserted that Mulder was with him in all these transactiops and shared the money; that he had been with him. at Harrisburg, where he had identified Steel as Major White in order to enable him to draw the money from the paymaster. lankier admitted that this looked bad. After hearing this testimony the court held the matter under advisement THE POLIOE. Bather Rich Station-Rouse Scene. On Wednesday night a drafted man called at the Second-district .station-house, having with him an individual whom he had engaged as a substitute. He desired the substitute to be locked up until morn ing. The officer in command justly refused to do anything of the kind, as such a transaction would be entirely illegal. _ • "I am afraid," said the applicant, "he will escape if he is not detained, and I must have him at the provost marshal's office in the morning, or I'm a goner." "I cannot help you, sir. Nobody can be locked up in these cells unless there is some criminal charge preferred," replied the officer in command. "What shall I do?" said the stranger. "Stay with him until morning," replied the officer. "I can't do it; I want to go home." "Well, air, there is no use of any more conversa tion-on the subject; we have no right to detain your friend." The two men departed, and nothing more was thought of the affair. Between twelve and one o'clock in the morning, a couple of officers arrived at the station having in custody a man very much intoxicated. To use the language of one of the officers, he was "staving drunk." The oblivious individual was placed in the cell, and at six o'clock, having had five hours' sleep, was arraigned before the magistrate on the charge of drunkenness. The evidence was positive, and the usual fine, in such cases made and provided, was imposed. The officers found him on the sidewalk, fast asleep, not tar distant from the station-house. As the magistrate announced the line as imposed, a pretty well dressed man stepped up from among the motley groupe and paid it. - The officer in command of the station looked at him intently, as though be had seen him before. The man smiled as he paid the fine. He was the same individual who, on the evening , previous, had made application to have his substitute locked up for safe keeping, to prevent him escaping to Mana'. yunk, at which place his services had been obtained.' As he turned to go away he looked at the officer ; 'placed his thumb aside his nose gyrated his fingers, smiled again. The officer looked as if he was trying to measure the depth of space, and finally broke the silence he imposed upon himself, by ejaculating the single word The substitte e was introduced to provost marshal Lehman, was accepted, a uniform placed upon him, and he was at once sent to the barracks. [Before Mr. Alderman Beltler. ] Attempted Pocket netting. A young man who gave the name of James Orr, was arraigned at the Central Station yesterday af ternoon on the charge of attempting to pick the pocket of. Mr. J. A. Smith, the paymaster of an ex cursion at Peter's Farm, on Thursday evening. The evidence of Mr. Smith sets forth the following points: About six o'clock, on Thursday evening, the witness proceeded to the platform for the pur pose of paying the musicians. As he had just done so, and replaced the remainder of the money, into his pocket, an altercation ensued from no particular apparent cause. Mr. Smith was forced to leave the platform.. The defendant also sprang off at the same time, and some how or other his hand- almost got into Mr. Smith's pocket; or, in other words, he was sounding the pockets. Mr. S: turned immedi ately, collared the defendant, and called for Ms offi cer, who at once took the accused into custody. "Have you any questions to ask or explanation to make?" asked the alderman. To which the witness replied that he had just got from a sick bed on. Sunday last, and went to the farm for the benefit of his health ; when , the row commenced, we were all pushed from the platform together; he charged me with attempting to pick his pocket; I said he was mistaken. You travel in Pine alley, don't youl" "No, Sir, I do not; I was on a alek bed for two months, in my father's house." "One thousand bail," replied the alderman t "to answer at court the charge of attempting to pick a pocket." Disorderly House Case. Diary Keenan, a middle aged Irish woman, was charged with keeping a disorderly house at 71'7 Moss sheet. A number of the neighbors, who are poor and respectable, testified that at nights, and parti cularly last Satuiday night, the house of the accused was very disorderly, indeed.

Though speculators may, by intrigue and scheming, force this precious metal up-S4 or .1 per cent., it must eventually decline, as the rise is only spasmodic, owing to the bulls not daring to risk too much in anticipation of the cap ture of Mobile and Charleston.

The stock Market exhibits considerable anima tion. Governments are quiet, railroad bonds strong, bank shares dull, Border State bonds firm; and rail road shares excited and active. The railroad war on which the bears have been relying for the success of their plans for depressing the prices of stocks is said to have developed a new phase, as one at least of the great roads forming the eastern ends of the great continental lines of trans portation is believed to have united with the more westerly roads in the pro rata reduction of fares and freightage.
