[Special Corre,pendence of The Frees.) -
Last night the clouds gathered heavily over to;.
wards Petersburg, and, driveM by a hurricane of
wind, soon enveloped the eau* at headnuarters in
dust. 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

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,

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: .

crook, provided them each with a suit -of; rebel uni

they had been so well eared for by the clergyman,
they found as much fault with their present posi

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

truth or falsity of a rebel, be he " clergyman, lay

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

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,

'discipline calls forth in always keeping up with the

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

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

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. E. K.

near them, , Mletinol, Delaney, the colorbearer,
rushed some tin paces forward ahead of his regi

country, shouted to his comrades to rollow. Just
then a hair struck his left. arm, Inflicting a flesh
wound, from which the blood trickled in 'mortise
currents.- Still grasping the ling, and keeping it to
the brceia, ho drew his revolver, and rudiiing for
ward, leaped upon the enemy's works, waving his
flag, and tiring his pistel upon the foo. Thus, stand
ing upon the enemy's works, his pistol In hind, and
his colors • s;reateing over h is' head, two rebels ap..
proaelied him, one• on each side, and thrust their
bayonets Into the sides of the hero martyr. He felt
the cold steel pierce to the very quick of his young

from his vounda, he clasped the flag to hie breast,
and bore it back In safety to his comrades, among
whom he soon alter bled to death. Though no star
or eagle decorated ids shoulders, he is of the coun

There aro two theories as to the number - of: the
army which marched from liichmend for the Pur
pose of invading Maryland allll subduing the, city
of Washington, but every hour convinces us that
that which gives to the rebels the larger force Is the
one most susceptible of weer. In the powerful let
ter of Sam Wilkason, the Washington editor of the
w Tura Tribune, printed in the Chronicle of yes
terday morning, there is an accumulation of fact)
which ought to Wily any one who may have doubts
upon the ; and our observant readers will
note that nearly all our eeriespondoritS concur with
Mr. Wllkeson that the column of the rebel army
was very large, and that it Was Inspired by a grand
er purpose than that orit mere plundering raid. In
fact, it is noav. safe to say that there wore periods
between Saterday night and Monday morning
when the rebel listen mtght have dashed into the city
and have effected it capture, if not an ocifupatlen. -
'We
do not agree, therefore, with the Nationoi hitsl
ligesicer of yesterday, in that part of its masterly
and Malignant leader whiehhitimates that the Pale
ral Capital was laid under siege fur two days, "with
ten or twenty thousand men behind its defences,:by
fivelitincired men
.;!? and we aro somewhat surprised
at the otherwise acute and recondite editors of that
paper, that they should so far weaken their article
as to make an assertion open to Immediate and fatal
contradiction. The I:rata is, Washington City was
besieged by a large army; errantly of veterans, an
army advancing to the capture of .the capital of the
country upon information furnished • by their
spies and s3mpathizerS In our midst ; that we had
Ito disciplined and seasoned force here to resist a
sudden assault ; and that it. only required a 'neve
meat of -such celerltras that led by Early and
Breekinridge to consummate the dream of Sciferson
Davis, and to lay at his feet the metropolis founded
by the Father of his (lountry," Hence, that a
large army threatened and assailed- Washington is,
we conceive, beyond dispute, -
What we desire to say Is, this fact- being beyond
dispute, that hereafter abundant care -isitould be
taken to guard age Mat any: new attempts upon this
great position: There are so' many ways -to de-.
lend it, there are so many- resources of defence;
there are so many thousands ready to rush „to
its defence that. e trust these Mciiities wilt be or
ganized and acceptethfor It is our solemn conviction
that the attack of Monday and Thesday will be re
peated. The' rebels are so flattered because they have
put two great capitals, Washington and Baltimore,
in terror (and let us, for our own sakes, accept the
assertion that they. have done so with a very large
force), that they will not hesitate to repeat.the eX
periment, and when they de,7our entrenchments

"I have had the pleasure of taking a look at the
rebel camps and territory from the topmost branch

a pleasure indeed. It was just after a refreshing

all that prevented the beholder from fancying him

The Southern COnfeettrocy contains the followlnK :
The correspondent of the Keyinsler, t• Buries? , an
nounced Major General A. P. 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

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.

Brink and passenger railroad ,stocks were quiet.
cnts were steady—McClintock at 4,14, Mineral at 2,
Excelsior 1%, i'deElhenny”.i", Baleen 5%. 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.

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
