At times it was impossible to see anything; so dark was it made by the rushing dust, that even in moderate 'weather was more than blinding. Horsemen who had been sauntering lazily along the: roads, unmindful of war or its elleete upon the na tion, were suddenly reminded of a visitor none the less It Octane on account of its boisterous forerunner, and accordingly hastened to a secure shelter. The hUrricane that preceded the rein tore up illy-eon structed tents, and edam carried - them *Feat dis tance, a circumstance not at all itVpreeiiited .by the - , - - , , owners, who were thus uplio.t4ed TO for the time being One curious Walt; noticed, that secnisTo be common to Virginia and the South generally: A WHIRLIVUND seems always to he started by a hurricane. The one witnessed last night caused much laughter among, these who were so fortunate as to have aeon it. It swept along the ground at the rate of twenty miles an hour, and carried 'Oh into the air every tbina with which it came in contact. A tent " fly became the victim of its merciless anger, and was ratisedocith a velocity almost allied to lightning, up Into the air at least an eighth of a mile, continually whirling with great rapidity. Pedestrians, and even cavalrymen, anxiously sought a safer place than its presence would afford. Halo were ruthlessly tore from heads whleh could illy brook the insult, and , yet what redress could its owner demand; as, gazing„ upward, be saw his tile performing gyrations of the' most approved description By every student of nature it has, of course, been observed that where - there is so much preparation by the "Gods of the Air" for an "earthly feast" of rain, there Is never 'Much accomplished. So it was in this instance, and the clouds, after sprinkling the -earth for about an hour, soon' folded themselves away in the garner of heaven, or swiftly passed on, as though they had but little to give tons, and wished to divide equally with our neighbors further to the north and past. We are, however, none the less thankful for this blessing, for it augurs that God has not altogether forgotten us in this hour of.our The Rev. ?Jr. Stewart, of the Baptist persuasion, and a leading fire-eater of this section s has been . , imprudent list() get hiniseir into troOle teem% an extent thatheAtiti,irtrdly•bo able ..te*pricate him- Seltvery loon -It Seems. that on kiftiel : ay laSt Rye . • diserterafrom our army repress , nred - fleemselves as liretrof the service, and desired either to enlist in the rebel arms, or to get, by some means, away from City Point, and going North, to thus elude ail pur suit that might, he made for them. They wore all Frenchmen, and, coming up to the house of the reverend gentleman, they told a story,#atched from 'the above facts Of emir.° the rebel doctor of divinity much preferred their entering the: . .:Southeirt' army. Pie therefore, by. some hook. or crook, provided them each with a suit -of; rebel uni form, and secluded, them 'Mail he , iatialklind metliod'af sending them into the rebel lines. After they had been so well eared for by the clergyman, they found as much fault with their present posi tion, dressed in ‘• bonnie gray, ,, as they had'doniin the uniform of the stars and stripes. This, however,' they kept to themselves, and did not allow their be nefactor to become any the wiser. While in this State of discontent they unintentionally exposed themselves to the provost guarci";:who happened to be passing at the time, and who were in active search for the deserters. They nuickly pounced upon and carried them and Dlr. Stevrart to General Patrick's headquarters, where they await the con venience Ora trial by court martial. What will be done with Stewart it is hart to tell perhaps sent to a ,Norchern fort, to remain an unwil ling guest daring the % , :ar. He puts In a plea of-:de fence to the effect that they forced him to giro them the clothin. which, if he can prove will ltinfiato. him. It is so difficult to determine in regard to the truth or falsity of a rebel, be he " clergyman, lay .man,-;er, private..member,- , that it will make a nice point ile'legis.' It will be clearly s.hown, on the part of the seldiers, that they -are bounty jumpers, and .were making Soepeeits eiffirts to return. to' the North . to 1 : e-enlist nnd obtain the, bounty. It is said 'that one of them had a large, bundle of greenbacks in Lls possession, and made the remark ; ~,B oys, I have earned alt' this jn the IlusiMi.but would give it for my release', for now 1 am a gbaer," a remark that'sluwa Mit . the man was Inlay nnie duet relative to the Government, tried as soon as affairs at headquarter's lieeisnae , ?klit , . tie more settled, after their present Mining'. ; 2.IIIADIS'S 1 - 111.A.DQUA1INF.RS 3IOVED this morning about seven o , cluck; Thepare now: about two and a half miles nearer City Point .:nit in s much more convenient 'lode "than the , j;:viTip formerly.. They have taken this movement on ac-, count of the contraction of our lines on the extreme left. Our pickets will extend in that direction il;O'n' up to the place just vacated by Made. This ment will hardly be understood by the rebels, who will not be hasty in closing up to oar pickets.' PLISIVIT or MARCHING, for such hot weather as this„ is enjo3red:by„the 4th Division, oth Corps,commanded by Goneralterrere; They seem to be übiquitous, and the glistening faces of the negroes betr , ken a fan and relish for the work that is not often found among'xidte troops. The principal charging- of rebel works that has been done during this campaign, and more especial ly before Petersburg, has been performed by them.. This statement may, not be relished by Union troops of the white persuasion, but It is certainly no more than right that the ones who actually did perform the work should receive the praise. I know It will bo argued that the 341 Corps has Immortalized Itself by its snore than triumphant charges, which leave al ways made the enemy to recoil, and that the sth, the 6th, nd the 15th Corps have bad more than ordinary shares of naiLitary glory in capturing tines of breastworks from the rebels. This's all very true ; tint it 'lutist ho renfembered that the negioes have held all they have taken, and it will never be de nied that . they . have always made their charges where the-bullets were the most deadly destructive. All honor to these bravo negroes, who are actually thus fighting for their pos:ition in the country, and, are ShoWlng whether or not. they are entitled to that position. For behavior, for superiority in drill, they are equal to the white troops, and they show an eminent example to them" of tho 'benefits good 'discipline calls forth in always keeping up with the regiment on ri march, and never being found guilty . of straggling. Many troops, whose terms of enlistment are now over, are returning' to their homes. Reinforce ments, however, that are constantly arriving more than compensate for this loss, so that our strength, instead of becoming weakened, is actually growing greater every day. Many men of the ono-hundred days regiments em constantly pouring In, and It is, indeed, quite probable that our forces are larger by ten thousand than they were before we crossed the Itapitl Ann. The rebels lay great stress upon the fact that they are now opposing the only army that will be raised by the North. If they can demoralize the grand Armte de Potomac the recognition of the rebel States Is to them it foregone Conclusion. The people around City : Point, who are active sympa thizers with the South, think the same, and are boastful and defiant 'in their manner—glorying In our failure thus far In taking Petersburg, Huguenot creek, to which I referroft in a former despatch as having been plekoted by our forces on our extreme left, is, now in tho hands of the enemy, We held that Ones buttrio days, and, as it will be seen by a. , relerence to another part of my present letter, the contraction of our lines precludes all pos :Jollity or probability or our holding that point. Sineo the . deitruction of tho Danville Railroad ft has been of no importance to us In a strategic point of view, as it was held at any time only as a sub signal station to, our form, oporatlng on the lino of the above railroad.

This movement was thought to ho feint on their part, or an attempt to feel our linos, hortly after they had retired, the 2tl Corps, who held O Portion of the plank road, moved further to our right. This corps, slime the Gth has been sent North, haS held the extreme left, so that when this Corps moved; the enemy had full possession of the jerusalem plank rood ; that is, if they ehoie to avail themselves of It. ft Is , quite prObable that they loom set down a foree to Within it few miles of Prince George Court House. To cancel all their movements in that quarter, the 2d'Division of the Cavalry Corps have 'gene down in force to act as picket to the Prince George road, which leads di rectly into our lines. This division will, for the pre sent, be stationed there, so as to prevent any de: monstration that the rebels may make in that guar waLoox itArr.toAD is now in complete working order, despite our late at tempts at its destruction. This Morning, while riding along on our extreme left, I could-plainly hear the whistle of the locomotive. tieing in doubt as to its en act tocality, inquiry proved my B'l/vicious to be cor rect. This 'will :be a surprise to the North, which has been led te.supliose that this road has teen et tcetuallydesttoyed, or at least to such a degree as to readerli, useless for some time to come:: THE romTius: of , APPAIss naturally is alarming unless the North wakes up to the fact that rebel desperation must be met by the same natural quality. If we had a reserve force of one hundred thousand men, we could move into Richmond with the greatest, imaginable ease; taking any convenient point as our base; no difficulties could ho so groat but what could be readily sur mounted, and the rebel capital, instead of exulting in the hourly "extras" of traitorous newspapers giving accounts of a disgraceful raid into the North, would have been an humbled city repenting in sack cloth and ashes. We must awake at this awful .C1:1813, and he. xxx, deserving of the heritage of our _fathers. Our Northern ladies must have their coun try and not their jewels at heart. Imitating the Polish ladies, they should sacrifice everything, even life itself, and by this means influence the mon to greater deeds and to nobler achievements.

PIT.ING AT WIZ FRONT is now nearly all confined to the 18th Oorps„ the bat_ Mlles of which are occasionally engaged throughout the day. This afternoon the firing was quite heavy, but resulted, as usual, in smoke. General Grunt must be preparing something, the name of which no one knows but himself. His honor as a military man will not allow him to lie here Rile with on army of over an hundred thousand men. There will be a surprise shortly ; what it will be your readers know as woll as any in the army. We are looking atqlous ly for something "to turn up." Micawber has ad vised us to that effect. [Special corrhapoodenoe of The Prose.] READQUA RTIMS ARMY POTOMAC, NEAu Purunsnuo, Va., July 13, 1381 ALL QUIET AT THE FRONT. There Is nothing of any Interest whatever going on at the front. Our army is working nevertheless, and will undoubtedly be heard from in good time. It must not be supposed by the people that because every day Is not fraught with bloody battles that we are not doing anything, for if it is so supposed the masses are greatly mistaken.' In a battle or war fare like that now being waged by the Union against the principles so antngonlstle to enlightened rule,the people must not demand In a moment that which can only be gained by the most continued and parse yeller.; TAT nran. W . ashingtompaPers of . the 12th instant have beett received; from which the • aretYlearns that, We* Ington is about being bestekeed.: It is thought hero that the army under the reLcaleaders cannot natty- her over twenty thousand men, and that if the mili tia of the several States will but assist tho forces that have been Sent from the Army of the Potomac, there will be nothing but utter amillnlapon in store 'for the'daring wretches who have the audacious ef frontery to curse the soil of Washington Oily With their Polluted feet. Let the North, It ever she did her duty, do it now ; she can hope for no further assist ance from this army, for the tide of events, instead of taking , tot away from Petersburg will carry us into It, and when once we have that key the door mill speedily be unlocked that leads to Richmond. It would' ho the greatest calamity that could betel the country, at this juncture, to have the army com manded by General Grant removed from its present position. The ashes of forty thousand men, front the liaptdan to the Appomattox, would cry out from the ground against such a proceeding. It remains then for the North to fight her own cause, which, without a doubt, she will nobly do. Hereafter all Northern States will learn a good lesson from the events that arc now taking place at their very doors; that lesson will bo a drilled State militia force. OEN. MENDE'S OPINION Prom a surgeon, with whom I was conversing to-, night ; I learned that Gon. Meade had expre.ssod hitnself in relation to the raid in the following lan guage. They are not his procise words, but are given to show the light in which he looks at the anuir. He said that to those people who do not rightly understand the position of affairs this raid Indeed looks gloomy. But to those whose plisltfott enable them to cover at one glance the en(tre ground, it Is nut one of dangei but of great Leaellt to us. This opinion, coming frotn a person in the position held by Gen Oral 'Meade, is entitled to ‘a, vast amount of credit, and I give it, knowing that: it will be - of value to those Whose hearts are at this hour failing them. TIM . 21;'PECT ON THE :ARNi' This afterneon'itimk especial pales to go:through portions of unr atuiy . for'the put prise or questioning the soldiers in regard to the recent movements of the rebels in Illar)land. They deprecate most heartily thethought of thecapture'of Washington, but are willing to sitlntrit tots degrading humilia tion if t will only be the means of waking up the slumbering lion of the North. Something must be done, and that right speedily, If the North actually Intends to crush the 'hint hopes of the rebellion. If nothing but the capture of the capital will in fuse the spirit of working mill fighting patriotism, then of two evils, the recognition of the South or the capture of Wasliingbin, choose the lo—the downlall of America's pride, the mausoleum of a 71 a t ion's gifts. It will be recollected that When General Seymour was captured by the rebels during the Wilderness battles, ho made quite a little speech to them, and, accenting to the reports of the Rich mond papers, these are hiswordil : "Gen. Leo may possibly defeat Gen. Grant and the Federal army, but what of that I I trust that if he defeats him, he may follow up his success by taking Washington , and burning It to the grOund. 'And let him not stop • there!" Lot him capture and burn Baltimore, and then advance on Philadelphia, and buin that. Then of last we shalt have a united North; and shall begin to . know what war Is. Never were more tratidul words spoken than,those of General Seymour. They aro fully endorsed by every Union soldier who cannot but blush for shame at the party factions that dl- - vide the free people of the • North at this critical juncture of their nation's history.

Stewart's promotion to the vacant, lieutenant generalship in the Army or Tennessee. Although the appointment of so modest, retiring, and junior an - °Blear to the place of the lamented Polk will take some of onr‘oaders by surprise, those of them who are acquainted with the character and career of General Stewart—his exalted piety, his thorough education, and his rare courage—will ,readily admit the fitness and justice of it, and con io the War Department, excellent dlscrimina- Aicn In the selection. ' , General Stewart, says the correspondent of the •Re,ticter, was born in Winchester, Tenn., and 14 now atiut 43 year? old. At an .early age he went to West Point, where he graduated with honor, after which be remained in the institution two years ; as professor of mathematics. Ito married Miss Uha.se, In Albany, N. Y.—a most beautiful and accom plished .lady—from which place he removed to Lebanon, Tenn., and took the position as professor of mathematics in Cumberland University. He filled, for a number of years, the same chair In the Nashville University, and thou returned to Lebanon as president of the kernel° Academy. At the com mencement of the war he received a commission as major of artillery, and was at Columbus, Ky, as chief of that department, under the lamented Polk, to whose late position he has succeeded. Just before the battle of stilled' he was appointed briga dier general, and commanded a. brigade of infantry on that memorable field with surpassing gallantry, having two horses killed under him, lie was at Alurtreeshoro, just after which battle ho was. pro moted to major general, and has served in that ea,- paelty at Perry villeand tillickamaugli, and in this battle, which may now be termed the ^ engagement of play and June." He is a member or the Cumber land Presbyterian Church and a devout Christian. Ile has great firmness of character, is quiet In de meanor, cool in battle, handles his troops with great caution, but has always been up to time. Nobstly doubts for a moment that his promotion will redound to the discipline of his corps and the good of the cause. A CnitteuS tiesr..—A =curious case his been brought to light, the fact:s6f which are substantially as follows : A year ago in May, William Henry Haley, whose tather,is a gardener, living on forty sixth street, visited the theatre. On his return home the boy lost his way, and,spent the night in a wagon. Be was then arrested as a vagrant and sent to Blackwell's Island. While on the Island ; it is said, the boy protested against being sent away, saying his parents were able to support him and entreated that they might be written to, informing them where he was. The boy was finally sent to Fentonville, Michi gan, to reside with a Air. Benedict. The parents sought for their boy for months without success. They eventually founds lad who had seen him on the bland, and alto said Ito had been sent West. Ha, ving learned that he had been sent to Fentonvillo, the mother immediately went there and found him. She left Fentunville with him for this city, on the 7th instant, and they are now in this city. The facts have not yet been explained.-New 1 ork Pa . TM: MAILS CAPTUMED its THE FLOniDA.—Thos.

These malls wore transferred to therobel steamer. The.throuh canvas mall-bags—fifty-five in num ber—which left New York for the West at 0 o'clock P. M. on the Bth inst., were destroyed by fire; to ether with the entire contents of the mail car, near boutlineld, New York, about forty-live miles from New York. city. Every exertion was made by the route agent and employees of the trainsto extin guish the names, but without success. We furnish this information so that correspondents may dupli cuate their letters if deemed necessary. A nasiAnkentn.and fatal incident took place at Fort Massachusetts, near ‘Vrilihingtou, on Tuesday. Mr. Keenly., superintendent of the Baltimore depot,. Mr. White the ticket agent and Or. Du Hamel, were standing, In company n ' lth two se'd'ers, within the fort, observing the distant lines of the enemy, as they supposed out of range, when the two soldiers were Instantly shot dead by sharpshooters, who are Supposed to have been nearly a mile off: A. ball passed through the heart of one of the unfortunate soldiers, and another into the bowels of the other. The one struck in the heart uttered the words, "My God !" and fell dead. Froni the bowels of the other the blood rushed profusely, and ho was carried off by comrades. The civilians above-mentioned, thus admonished, and brought to a realizing sonso of their danger, of course were not long in withdrawing trout so exposed a position. 11 Q U EP= brokor, named Ilcaloy, has been prose cuted for a strange kind or•forgery. It seems that for yours ho-has circulated it number of bills with 'the surged endorsement of the recorder and four other well-known mon of the city. The persons -whose names wore thus used wore perfectly aware or the existence of those notos but made no objec tion to their circulation, onlyy. cautioning . a lbw friends not to Mato them. The affair Is said to bear much the aspect or a conspiracy among all. the - parties, but it is doubtful whether, from the manner or the operation, a conviction can be reached. Tan Wanderer, of Vionna, relates the following Incident : "An elderly gentleman, a widower, ro cently died in the, neighborhood or this city, who had the singular pactice or never wearing a pair of stockings the socond time, but of every day putting on a new pair, which had been knitted for him by Some old women whom be know, and whom he paid liberally. At his death ho loft 4,600 pairs of woolen or cotton stockings, all carefully, put. away. This originally Is said to have arisen trom a sort of pious remembrance of his wife, who had been only a poor knitting-girl before her marriage." A raouartrr Jack Sheppard, by the name of .Tanies Kelly,, escaped from the prison at Lancaster, Pa., last week. Ho took up the flooring of his cull and worked a passage into the hot-alr chamber, through ,which ho passed, a distance of about sixty feet, forcing Upon the iron gate at the lower end, and thence working his way into the cold-air due by tearing up the plank ouvering It, and making his way to the cold wall. From this ohimnoy he broke a hole through the outside wall of the prison and made his escape. The hole was worked through Steno masonry titteen inches thick, about six foot from th ground.

The great importance of the oil business of this State may be judged from the fact that the Atlantic and - Great Western Railway, in the month. of June, transport ed over 87,000 barrels of oil, taken out of the oil re gion omits line of road. The price advanced from 4 , 7 to =142 i bbl during the month. At an average of 8-9, the value of oil transported In one month was nearly $300,000. - 81any of the oil companies recent ly started in this city are amassing fortunes. The I` , l'oble and Beholder, whose stock is quoted the highest on the list, has averaged a ten per cent, di vidend a month since its organization, and between the first of April and first of July, as we are In formed by - the Secretary, the sum of $170,000 was realized from the sale Of and from the Ist to the loth instant $40,000 additional. This, on a capital ,stoek of $500,000,15 decidedly a good business. We learn from New York that, the. Bank Commit tee, representing New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, agreed on Saturday afternoon to loan the Treasury , 850,000,000, and yield their demand to be placed on the same footing as the national banks in the matter or_being made depositories of the pub 7 De moneys. This is certainly a. magnanimous act of the banks, and we have no doubt Mr. Fesseralen will call the attention of Congress to the matter at fts-next assembling. Tice request of the banks to be considered as worthy the patronage and confidence of the Department is, we think, a reasonable one. They are entitled to this consideration from the manner in which they have always come forward promptly to the financial rescue of the Government. Mr. , Fessentlen will never appeal to them in vain. The State banks have ever kept pace with the peo ple in their taking of loans. At the recent confer ence with the Bank Committee the Secretary stated that he was not so far wedded to the national banks that he would overlook the claims of the State banks, and Wile did not grant the latter what they desired it would be because the acts of Congress did not give him sufficient power in the premises. But the banks have relieved him of any perplexity he might have in the matter, and now grant the mo ney without demanding in return any Mvor which, however willing he might be to grant, his .power to do so was in doubt. The recent decline • in gold Is attributable in some measure to the reshipment of imported goods, for which no profitable market could be found here at the high rates at which gold and exchange have latterly ruled. This has exercised a double induence by diminishing the demand for gold to pay duties' With, at the same time that It added to the amount of exchange for sale to the extent to which it would otherwise have reduced it. The panic in the pro duce market is in sympathy with gold, and, owing to the excessive 'stringency In the 'money market, and more particularly to the inilispasition of the banks to lend to speculators In produce efface me recent great inflation of prices, as also to a want of Confidence in the market sustaining itself on the part of a considerable portion of the speculators themselves, who became anxious to sell out. An insurance company, called the "Travellers' Insurance Company," has been started in Hartford, Conn. The object of this organization is peculiar and somewhat novel—to insure against all kinds of accidents. whether resulting fatally, or merely in volving disebling personal Injury. The annual payment. of kla secures to the family of the assured 41,000 in case of fatal accident; 43 secures to him a weekly compensation of $5 in ease of disablement. The American Exchange and &aloe, always well informed upon matters of this sort, remarks : " During the pest few ydars there have been oe easional spasmodic efforts to add personal accidents to the list of subjects for insurance in the United Suites. English experience In this department of risks has been cited as an example, and incentive for us, but still the introduction of the scheme has been deferred. Meanwhile, the imminent !Nullity to accident attending the American public has been the theme of many a newspaper leader and para graph, and the pulpit has censured an existing cul pable 'disregard of the value of human lire and limb. Dad such insurance been established within 'at the beginning of the rebellion, It Would, probably have branched out into an acceptance of battle casualties, not fatal, as life insurance extended to the war mortality. At this hour we need not dilate - upon the vast aggregate of distress In the future which such insurance would have at least mitigated. But our American civil Hie posses amidst dangirs, our very inventions, our machineries bring in now sources of disaster, and though we have no statis tics to prove that accidents increase faster than population, yet we believe that our hospital officials are finding patients from accidents increasing in greater ratio than patients from disease." The almost total stoppage of the coal trade for the last two weeks from the Pottsville region will bo used us an excuse for advancing again the price of coal. Until the Government Is supplied, no steam boat, broken or egg coal can be shipped to regular dealers from Pottsville. We hope that every effort will be made to prevent any further snspension of the trade for the balance of the season. It is a fear ful responsibility to assume on the part of the em ployed or employees.when It results In heaping so heavy a tax on the whole commuulty. The officers of the Reading Railroad Company says the :Ulna's Journal, have failed to come to terms with their employees on tho different branches. This is greatly to be regretted, as the men have con ducted themselves in a very orderly manner, and they seem to think they asked no more wages than what they were entitled to, with the present ad vanced prices of everything. The Reading Com pany, however, on the other hand, state that if they had yielded everything that was demanded, there was no security that they would not have had another demand made upon them In a short time. In dm meantime the GovernMent supply of coal was rapidly diminishing, and the Reading road, with all its branches, were seized for Government uses. A. new set of hands were also sent np from Wash ington and vicinity to work the laterals. As these hands arc new at the business, it will take seine time beftiro•tlic trade is resumed In full. The following ordor was issued on the 11th in. stunt : iiISATIQrARTER6, PRILADELMITA, 186 i. To Chas.

Please publish the above order of Colonel Oros man, at Pottsville, Mount Carbon, Ashland, and our scale offices. G. A. Meets. Wo hero take occasion to remark, that there would be no difficulty in the Government Obtaining all the coal that is required, If it wore not alleged, and generally believed, that a combination exists in Philadelphia to extort coat at very low rates from the operator, in order that the contractors or agents may make large profits. It is notorious that"tho coal operators have always been soiling their coal to the Government at much lower rates than to their regular customers, and we know that a large por tion of our coal operators aro willing to sell to the Government at from $1 to 11.50 per ton loss, pro. vidcd they were satisfied that the Governatont de rived the advantage of the reduction, Instead of the contractors or agents. We are assured that nearly the wholo difficulty in obtaining coal arises from these en imes.
