A Smithslde , View of War.
We think we ;have read enough to enable
us to understand the conduct of the rebels
in the recent "affair at Chambersburg. We
were among those who hesitated to believe
the sail stories Of rapine and desolation
that came in the early telegraphic' despatch
es, for, with all our former opinions of the
rebel character, we could scarcely belieVe
that inhumanity and crime would proceed
so far. It seethe, from - what we can learn,
that on Friday last a body of rebels, proba
bly a division, entered the town of Cham
bersburg.. They found no opposition, and
immedilLtely..proceeded to pillage. Gen.
MnCC/Lust/m summoned the authorities of
the town, and demanded five hundred
thousand dollars as a forced levy, threaten
ing, if it were refused, to burn the town.
The demand was refused: It is possible
the authorities presumed, too faromon the'
clemency of the rebel leaders, and declined
to pay the levy' under the Imitession
that the alternative would not be exacted."
We kriow the result. The town was
set •on fire in many places, and a
large portion burned to 'the ground.
This whole scene is difficult to imagine.
An armed body of civilized warriors find
themselves suddenly the masters of a peace
ful ungarrisoned town. Without' giving a
word of warning, without asking the in
habitants of the doomed district to remove
their wives and children, nay, without
even permitting the sick to be taken from
their Couches, or the dead in the house of
woe to be removed fer burial, the rebels
begin the work of arson. "In fifteen
minutes," we are told, " the town was on
fire, in a hundred places, the flames spread
ing in every direction
e with fearful ra
pidity." We are almost afraid to descend
into details, for the heart saddens and turns
away as we contemplate the spectacle.
" No notice was given to the citizens until
their doors were dhailecl, and women and
children driven into the street without being
able to save any article whatever." What
had these people done -that they should be
thus overwhelmed with a calamity so terri
ble that we may search the annals of warfare
in Vain to find a parallel ? No soldiers were
in the town. Not a gun had been" fired--
not a man had been slain. Charnbersburg
was simply a peaceful town that the for
tune' of war had Suddenly thrown at the
feet Of Gbueral McCausLortn and his troop
of Abldiers. N i p all wars such misfortunes
happen, but we - have never known of a war
where a town wets Aurned because its in
habitants would not saxe the capto'rs the
trouble of robbing it. If 'General MoCAus
-1410) had la) en goods to ilta,value of a
half million dollars, the deed, might have
been justified under an extreme rule. It
would have been bad enough, but it would
not have added the burning of terhale semi
naries, and churches, and libraries to the
other infamies of the rebellion. In all, two
hundred and sixty-seven house's were de
stroyed.
We do not allude to this for the purpose
of asking any release or respite from the
ordinary rifles of war. We do not plead
any sentimentality in our
,own behalf, nor
seek to deprecate the anger or vengeancet
the enemy when we fall in his power. If
Chambersburg had suffered in the way of
ordinary. warfare—as Charleston and Pe
tersburg are suffering, and as Hagerskiwn
and Gettysburg have suffered—we stiould
be content, for, while the sword is our arbi
trament, we gannet emend or resist its deci
sions. We submit, however, that Cham
bersburg does not come within the ordinary
rules of war. It is an exceptional case, like
the massacre at Fort Pillow. We have not
thus treated the Southern people. Since
this war began we have taken and held
twenty rebel towns, and even where mo
tives for retaliation existed we have re
frained from exercising the just vengeance
of war. Let that pass. The. Southerners
come here to teach us war, and it is our
fault if we forget the lesson. There is but
one way to act. There are times when
retaliation is not merely justifiable, but a'
sacred duty, and our Government should de
clare that the next Southern town we occupy
should be burned to ashes. It is time that war -
with us sh6ulff be the:war that is brought to
our own'doors. It is time we understood
that these rebels mean our own destruc
tion, that they mean to kill, and burn, and
destroy. With them the sword means an
nihilation. They do not take a town and
quarter its inhabitants upon thecommissary
departnent, as our Union generals often
do. When the Federals- occupied Mar
tinsburg and Culpeper, and Alexandria
and Natchitoches, their first duty was to see •
that the inhabitants were furnished with
rations. Men who were in, arms against
the Union had the consolation of knowing
that their families were kept from starva
tion by the Government they were seeking
to destroy.; and the Union generals, when
disaster came upon them, had the satisfad
lion of seeing the men and women they
had kept from starvation join the
ranks of their enemies and endeavor to
harass and prevent their retreat. We are
too apt to be controlled by generous im
pulses in our dealings with inen like RA
PHAEL SEWLMES, General Me CAITSLA:EIN
and Major Gremon. We find- it - difficult
to believe that gentlemen would -do what
these villains have clone, and we are too
apt to separate the Southern Peciskrom
such leadeis, and say that these Wes
are the fivork of a few bad men, and Cannot
be charged upon the " Southern Confede_
racy." This is a mistake, and it is time
we realized the fact. The men who con
trol what - they call the "Confederacy"
intend this' course as a' policy, a fixed, de
terrnirted policy. So long as they can rob
Northern towns they will rob. When rob
bery no longer avails they destroy.
This is the war they are waging, and, as il
is the warfare of desperate men, they will
Wage it until the end
Chambersburg therefore brings us a . duty
and a lesson. Our duty is to see that we do
our share towards relieving the sufferings
of the devoted men and women and chil
dren thus driven from their homes into ab
solute and sudden want. We must see that
they do not suffer for the necessitids oflife,
and that they are aided to rebuild the hofnes
that an enemy has burned down. But the
• lesson it teaches us we must bring more
seriously to heart. Let us determine that
this enemy shall be met with precisely the
same weapons that he brings. It is time
we ceased to dandle with the war—to bur
den our path with scruples and obstacles.
- We are very much in the position of, the
Democratic Republicans in I:851 un
dertook to reason with NaPopEolf's army.
" Laying aside their Are-arms," (we make
a condensed quotation from Mr. KINGLAI93,)
"and throiving across their shoulders scarfs,
the Deputies ranged themselves in front of
the-barricade, and one of them, CHARLES
Bkonur; held ready in his hand the book
of the Constitution. CHARLES BAUM,
pointing" to his book, began to show
Whatte bold to be the clear duty of the bat
talfon. Eluddenly:the muskets of the front
rank came down, came up; came level, and
in another instant their fire pelted straight
grodp,. of scarfed deputies. The
Vilek"ol l tlie 4 6Onstitution , had fallen to, the
ground, and the defenders of the law re-
currcd to their firearms." Have we not
been fighting the south too much with
" shoulder -scarfs" and." books of the Con
stitution ?" Have we not too readily sub
stituted pedantry for war 2 Have we not
too often hesitated, and doubted, when our
encrnies.were bringing their muskets to the
level ? Let us either end the war or fight
the war. Let Petersburg meet the fate of
Chambersburg, andwe-thiuk Mr. 3Emn-•
SON DAVIS revise his instructions to
General McCAttsr.AND. Cheipbersburg will
then not only be the end of our weak and
purposeless beginning ; but the bee:inning
of a stern, glorious; unrelenting, and suc
cessful end. -
Defence of the State.
Governor CURTIN has convened a special
meeting of the-State Legislature, under the
present extraordinary, circumstances which
require that the milititry powers of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania be made
'•' immediately available for State and Na
tional defence," and requires the members
of said Legislature :"thereand then to de-
liberate upon- and adopt such measures as
may, in their wisdons,_ be demanded by the.
exigency of the occasion." One would
scarcely. suspect Governor CURTIN of being
facetious at a time like this, but surely one
of the best jokes of the season is to -suspect
our State Legislature of being collectively
possessed of any wisdom ! In the language
of algebraists their wisdom may be repre s
seated by "z—an unknown quantity."
Had they possessed ordinary common sense,
prevision, and patriotism, the State , of
Pennsylvania would now have been de
*fended by a militia, properly drganized,
thoroughly disciplined, well armed, and
available for the defence of each and every
threatened portion of our territory.
The State Legislature is convened to
meet at the Capitol, in Harrisburg, next
Tuesday, there and then to do what they
left undone during their prolonged regular
Session, this year. When they assembled,
lasts.Tanuary, the most obvious-work before
them was to provide for State defence,
Pennsylvania and Maryland, from their
local position, present the whole of WIASON
and Dixoss's line in 'such -contiguity •to
Virginia, where the rebels are in'the strong
est force, that the border counties most
particularly require to be protected by a
strong cordon of military defence. It
'would be difficult to spare sufficient force,
for this purpose, from our regular army,
but such defence could readily have been
afforded by the establishment of -a suffi
cient State Militia. Our previous Legisla
ture, whose wisdom is now relied on, sat
for nearly five months, during which they
did the things they ought not to have'done,
and left undone the things which 'they
ought to have done. In that Legislature
how few came out, at the end of the ses
sion, with clean hands I How many be
came members of the notorious " Ring"—
in alliance and partnership with " boreis,"
pretended newspaper correspondents, :and
degraded ex-officials! What was done in
nearly five months' session ? Some time
was occupied, at the commeneement, in
electing a Speaker for the Senate, but after
both. Houses got. to 'work, their legislation
mainly consisted of passing local railroad
bills, wholly uncalled for, which were to
have gridironed nearly every street in the
city, but were intended 'by their precious
projectors, promoters, and proprietors to be
as much employed to black-mail existing
Companies as to be constructed for ac
tual use. All the time the necessity for
State defence stared our State Legislature
in the face. But " the Ring" did not see
any money in that, and therefore the thing
was neglected. Nolo, on the principle of
shutting the stable door after the steed is
stolen, this same Legislattfre will reassemble
to authorize the organization and establish-
ment of a State Militia. Let us hope that
they will exhibit some of the " wisdom"
for which Governor Cusertst charitably
credits them. Quick and sagacious action
now may somewhat atone for their short
comings and misdoings in the regular ses
sion Of '64. . •
to•the necessity for State defence, par=
titularly on the exposed borders of Penn
sy,traiths and' araipaild, thbfe bahh - Safari
be .a second opinion. These borders are
ever - liable, during the war, to predatory
raids from the . Rebels, and it is evident that,
in a dash of this description, a very small
band of invaders can do a great deal of
mischief. The Vandals who burned Cham
bersburg—the most flagitious deed of the
war, next to the negro massacre at Fort
Pillow—are reported to be only a few hun
dreds in number. There must be a sufff
dent force, in all our border counties, to
meet, resist, and extinguish all raiders, or
rather, by their presence, to prevent their
venturing to cross the line.
The protection afforded to a State from a
sufficient military force has been acknow
ledged in most civilized countries. The
militia system of England was organized,
a thousand years ago, by- SLPRED the
Great, and maintained: by the Normans
and their successors: In Prussia and Aus.
tria, the Landxsehr (defence of the coun
try), is an active organization. So
. _
in "Switzerland; so, with a militia in
Russia and Spain ; with the National Guard
. _
in France, and with a similar force in the
minor German States and in Sweden.
In. this' country, where our standing . army
was merely nominal during many years,
the militia system long was an important
olement of our national strength. As
recently, as the year 1858, the quota
of the militia of Pennsylvania was
350,000 men—the largest of any State--ex-
ceeding that of New York by 13,000. With
the drain upon, us from the war, to which
Pennsylvania has contributed so largely, in
men and money, it will be- impossible to
have• our militia in the numerical strength
of 1858, but sufficient provision for the de
fence of our border counties can and must
be Made, without the least delay. •
The Executive of the State, it is to be
hoped, will frame such a project as may meet
the exigency, for, if left to "the wisdom" of
our State Legislature, we shall have to wait
fOr it, judging-. from the past. If propqr
steps be now taken, future raids will be pre
vented Chambersburg .would have been
unmolested if it had been'protected by even
five hundred armed men.
. Is the Invasion Ended?
York'Daily News, which seems
to poisess facilities for obtaining informa
tion respecting the movements and inten
tions of the rebel forces which loyal
journals do not so readily arrive at, prints
a letter from its Baltimore correspondent,
in which these sentences occur : " I find it
is believed here, by those who. are the best
informed, that the present movement into
that State is being made by a very large
force of the best'soldiers in the Confederate
army; that the party who burned the
houses in Chambersbnig is 'I, mere recon
noitring party, who will move rapidly
from place to place.; .that they will be fol
lowed in a few days, by the main body - of
the forces destined ' for the invasion of
Pennsylvania: and that Harrisburg and
Pittsburg 'will probably be the two points
to which the Confederate army will. first
proceed. There is said to-be abundant tes-
timony in town to the effect that this in
yading amy consists of at-least 75,000
troops, a part of whom have been re
cently detached from General LEE'S army,
and probably have not reached the Potomac
yet."
The New York Tfrortd, also very good
authority upon rebel strategy, confirms the
proposition that the main force of the
rebels, reported to be in the Shenandoah
Valley some days ago, has not manifested
itself yet—not contented itself with the
burning of Ohambersburg. The following
is the conclusion of a lengthy leader which
found place in its columns yesterday
"LEE 'will now adopt a bolder strategy.
Having weakened, and worn away the
forces of his adversary, and no longer fear
ing for the kafety of Richmond, he will
compel GRANT to change his position, or
will make the North pay the penalty of
persisting in a hopeless undertaking by
suffering the same horrors of invasion
which it has been - Inflicting on the South.
The valley of the Shenandoah is open; it
is already occupied by rebel forces strong
enough to have collected supplies for a
great army from its teeming harvests; and
if GRANT be not promptly recalled, 'ash
ington will, within ten days, be in greater
'danger than any to. *hich Richmond has
been exposed since the opening of this ill
starred Oamparign."
It is probable that, in the case of both Of
these dire prophecies, the wish is father to
the thought. Still, their coincidence is 1 OUR GENERALS MAKE
O TWO REQUEST'S
something to be noted. For the sa,fetrof A FLAGF TRUCE.
the National Capital we entertain not the
slightest fear. It is possible that there may
be twenty thousand rebels in the,•Slienan
doah Valley—no more. It is possible they
may contemplate another passage of the
Potomac; but if GnAwr, with his grand
army, failed to take' Petersburg, after' a
month spent in mining, certainly EARLY,
with one or two corps d'armee, could never
take Washington by assault. The truth is,
that Washington id practically impregna
ble against any force LEE could_ spare to
operate against it ; and it is by no means
certain that he has any troops at all to
spare for such Quixotic enterprises at pre
sent. To those acquainted with the de
tails of the milittify situatibn, the para
graphs quoted above must mom ridiculous ;
but whether based upon truth or falsehood,
the necessity for having our citizens organ
ized for State defence was never so mani
fest as now, and it would be the part of
recklessness to disregard it.
The late John Grigg, Esq.
With the deepest regret we announce the
death of our respected fellow-citizen, Joan
GRIGG, Esq.,. 'which took place yesterday at
noon at his`xesidenee, 1823 Walnut street.
Mr. GRIGG had been a resident of Philadel
phia for nearly half a century, and, by Ids
probity, enterprise,, and industry, had
amassed a large fortune.. A native of Corn
wall, in England, he commenced his ac
tive career at,„Seaerte he, had entered into his
teens. At sea hischaracter was disciplined.
At Richmond, , Va., where he had some
relations, we believe, le subsequently re
ceived a good ordinary education. In
time, but still young, he moved to Ohio,
and subsequently to Kentucky, filling re
spectable positions in each State, and
making life-long friends Wherever he re
sided. In 1816 he came to Philadelphia,
where he was employed by the elate Mr.
BENJAIIIR WARNER, a:-leading bookseller,
on whose death he w;s employed to collect
the debts and wind up the business of the
concern. Indeed, Mr. WAmisulad left a
memorandum that he should 'do this.
Eventually, in conjunction with Mr. EL
LIOTT, he went into business, on his own
acconnt, as booksellerand publisher, (the
'firm was " GRIGG & ELLIOTT,") and sold
out, after more than twenty years of most
successful enterprise, the firm then be
coming that of J. B. LiprrncoTT & Co. It
was made a house of first-rate character by
Mr. GRIGG, and has been so continued by
his respectable successor. Since 1850, Mr.
GRIGG has not been actively engaged in bu
siness, though, as a large capitalist, he often
employed his money to advantage. He
possessed a large tract of land in Illinois,
on which he had founded and endowed
three churches. A good sketch of his life,
with an excellent portrait, will be found in
Mr. STZPILEN N. WrnsLow's recent "Bio
graphies of Successful Philadelphia Mer
chants." ,
Mr. GRIGG, almost a self-taught, and cer
tainly a self-made man, was latterly a great
reader. Shrewd, humorous, and witty in
conversation, he was a very pleasing com
panion. Hospitable and friendly, he en
joyed the general esteem of all who
valued unassuming wealth. In him, for
his charities were great, the destitute have
lost a liberal benefactor and 'a kind friend.
Without any ostentation, he was a sincere
Christian.
Mr. Gunn had not much exceeded
the " threescore years and ten" which
the Psaltutit mentions as man's allotted
time. His wife was sister to the late
Dr. GEORGE McCLELI',AN, of this city,
(and aunt of General-McCLELnex), and
by her, who survives to mourn his loss, he
has left two dagay_te_Fir-Mrs....4E.,Via

LANTA , —TRE REBELS t;EBRATED.
WASHINGTON, August Despatbh to
the New York• Workt.l—lt appears by despatcheS
received to-day, that on Wednesday last General
Sherman had considerable of a fight near Atlh►nta,
It is the first intelligence of the kind received there
from shy source. Even Richmond papers of *to
day do not mention it in their advices from Hood's
army. Hood, attacked General Sherman in his
entrenched position, and failed to carry his assault,
with the loss of nearly a thousand killed, which
General Sherman's men buried Just in front of oar
lines• His lose in killed and wounded was little
over six hundred. General Sherman's despatches
are understood to detail this fight, but the above is
the gist of it.
THE LOSSES lir THE BATTLE OP, THE 28TIL
Naumann, July 28.--Generdl Sherman Is again
In motion In front of Atlanta. The army began
moving yesterday upon the last line of communleae
tion with the rest of the Oorifederaey
.left -t hood.
An early engagement Is anticipated, as the armies
are so near to each other that the slightest move
ment may stir up a fight.
A letter from an °nicer at the front describes the
battle of the 22d as the severest fighting be had
ever known, and says we have barled- 2,200 repels,
with 1,400 more to bury.
Bragg brought. orders from Richmond to hold
Atlanta at all hazards, and in council of war so
stated. Johnston preferred resigning to fighting,
and retired. Hardee then declined to accept the
position, when it was given to Hood on the express
condition that be was to stay and fight. Thhttar
rangement was entirely iatisfactory to all parties
on our side interested in the Matter. Hood has
probably already stayed too long.
Nesavarat, July 30.—1 n the battle of. the 28th
our loss was less than 800; The rebel loss is esti
mated by Gen, Howard at 5,000. We luirle4B43
dead rebels, and more were left unburied. Oar
forces in this engagement were covered, while those
of the enemy were exposed. Babel - Generals
Stewart, Long, and S. D. Lee, were severely
wounded. Authentic official information places the

Waattrnorow, August 2:—Despatches front head

9P. M., say that, the exact losses in the battle of
yesterday have not been cmclaily ascertained, but
as near as can be judged will foot up about:2,sM
not including the missing, and many believe the
figures will turn out to beiarger. '
In the hospitals of the 9th Corps, the Ist Division
has 206; the 2d Division, 307 ; the 3d Division, 341. ;
the 4th Division (colored), 626, besides a large num

not be got off.
The 18th Corps lost nearly.3oo men, while Turner's
division of tho 10th Corps had nearly 400 4110 and
wounded. .
A flag of truce was sent out to the enemy to-day
.for the purpose of getting the remainder off the
field, but it was refused, the reason not being givqn.
Gen. Butler also sent a flag of truce from his lines
to-day, which was likewite refused, * the :officer
giving no reason except his orders, which were
peremptory, not to accept a flag under any (grown
etances.
They also refuse to exchange papers, and the men
are so closely - watched by their officers that ;they
have no chance of exchanging, though they are al
ways willing to do so. There must be some good
reason for this, and many believe their line Is very
weak, while onus., think they have some extensive

All the Founded that have been brought in are
being well cared for, the medical arrangements
being ample.
The lines of the two armies are about the same as
before the battle, and picket firing has been dOn
stantly kept up since its termination.
The number of prisoners captured and brought in
was 252, the highest rank, among them being a cap

sayithey present the most pitiable appearance, being
hatless, shoeless; and many of them without suffi
cient clothing to cover their nakedness.
Tbey are' animated skeletons whose feet left
blood-marks in their tracks. Many of them have
been twelve and sixteen months in captivity. They
are the first instalment froni the prison -pen at
Tyler, Texas, where t from four to six thousand 'are
confined in a stockade fort, at the rate of I,odo to
one acre of• ground. Their treatment was shameful
beyond description, many' of the' officers being in
irons and all suffering- for food, medicines, and
clothing. Two hundred of these prisoners have
been vaelnated with unhealthy virus, which. [has
inoculated them with most loathsome diseases.
Immediately upon their arrival the represents.-
tires of the Western Branch of the Sanitary Own
mission and State agents of lowa and. Indiana went
to work to alleviate their condition.
Colonel Kimball, by direction of Governor Mor

to fall back froin Greencastle to cover Chambork,

RRPORTBD DEATH TR& REBEL . MAJOR HARRY
The Harrisburg Telegraph of Monday evening
contained the following:
In referring to the fact morning the liberate burning
of Chambersburg In our edition, we were
prevented from being more explicit as to all the
circumstances, by the haste with which we were
necessarily compelled to get up our account. It Is
now clearly established that the tirimr or the Court
House and bank buildjng would not have resulted
in the destruction of the town. To Insure the
spread of the flames, the rebels broke open private
houses, and after demolishing the furniture thereof,
gathered the fragments into heaps and then applied
the torch.
Major Harry Gilmer led a party who engaged in
this work ; and where honsea could not be ituitently
entered by breaking open the doors, windows were
smashed and turpentine balls thrown into rooms,
Igniting-betiding, and thereby tiring the house. In
this fiendish manner Chambersburg was destroyed.
While engagedin just
es by a partywork,Harry
was i a Baltitnoreanrabe
longing to one of the bitter Secession families of that
city, and had gained some notoriety for having cap
tured Maj. Gen. .IYanklin a few weeks ago. The
•
ruffian has met a merited fate.
Before the rebels bad resolved to bunt Chambers
burg they bad seized three of its most prominent
citizens, whom they bad Informed would be removed
to Richmond, to serve as hostages until the con
tribution levied could be paid. Three hostages were
actually being prepared for removal when ueneral
McCausland Issued the order to' fire the town, and
then followed the scene of confusion which we have
already described. Families were scarcely given
time to leave their homes; women . . and"children
were not allowed to provide themselves with a par
ticle of clothing, but all -were hurried Into the
streets, and thence to the open fields, to escape the
devouring flames as they stretched their fiery
tongues from house to-house.

body of the rebel officer killed at Chambersburg,
and who knew Major Harry Gilmer intimately,
positively deny that it was he.‘
REBEL GIIMULLAS ITM&R ROCK,VELLM, MD.
WASHIINGTON, August 2.—The &or says that last
night, about eight o'clock, some two hundred, rebel
guerillas, supposed to be of broseby , s command,
made their appearance at a point three miles above
RoCkville, haiing crossed the river at Nolen's Ferry.
Parties living in the vistraty imagined that these
guerillas were the advance guard of a large Inva
ding force, and immediately skedaddled, which oe
casioned seine excitement in this direction for a short
time. ,
Troops were sent from here to intercept the rebels,
but they were nowhere to be found, having gone
back to the Virginia side of the river.
A panicky orderly came hurrying into headquart
ers at a late - hour last night from Fort Reno, and re
ported that the rebels in large force were advancing
in the direction of Tenallytown. Due investiga
tion showed that the report had no foundation
whatever.
INFORMATION PROM A DEBILATES—THE REBEL
TROOPS OPILIZATINO IN THECVALLET.
An apparently well-informed deserter from Lee's
army who has arrived within our lines, reports that
the only rebel troops operating In the Valley were
those of Earl Y's and Breckinridge's commands.
Early's troops were first sent up the Valley, and on
the eve of starting they drew rations for 12,000 men.
Breckinridge's troops followed, which numbered
about 10,000 men. There is no truth, he says, in the
rumor that the raiders had been joined by A. P.
Hill's corps, for up to Thursday last Hill's troops
were in the entrenchinentsat Petersburg. The pub
lished statements pat Anderson's and Heath's di
visions were detected from before Petersburg and
sent to Richmond to look after Hancock, leaving A.
P. 11111's corps within the defences of Petersburg, are
also incorrect. He says Heath's and Anderson's divi
sions comprise Hill's corps, and they could not have
been sent away, for Hill was certainly in the de•
fences at Petersburg at the time pf the explosion of
General Grant's mine.

Theatrical matters are at present assurainga phase
of 'unusual interest. Not that the theatres are
uniquely attractive. We are patient, notjubilant
uproarious—patient, and involved In placid apathy
under the Viet -ion of the provincial actors and ac
tresses who infest our dramatic temples and go
through their evolutions in lurid dramas. Our
best critics are off at the, watering places await
ing the -renaissance and the consequent expulsion
of the maimed, the halt, and the Wiwi from the the*
atrical limits. The exciting topic is the war be
tween the managerial and the professional factions.
The profession demands a higher rate of remunera
tion; the management alleges poverty and declines
doing anything equivalent. As usual in ail such
contests, the really deserving are the unchampioned.
Lazarus ever sits at the gate looking for crumbs,
While , Dives quarrels for his luxuries. The leading
stock actor, whose remuneration is one hundred dol
lars perweek,-is the active assailant, while the miser
rable twenty-seventh utility munches the few bitter
crumbs which his seven or eight dollars will procure,
and hopes that he may obtain a= lodgment some-
Where under cover of the dust which the leading
'Stock raises.in his grand assault upon the •manage

The following list exhibits the scale of ealarie's
now allowed per week among actors: Star, (In the
company) $OO to $100; extra, $3O to $4O; good, $25 to
sBO;,mediniji, SIB to $2O; common $lO to *it Among
actresses the salaries range from twenty-five to
fifty per cent. higher than the minimum pay of the
actors. Take yonr bandit; your young man who
must be sinister and inimoral;even heartless and
unequivocally barbaroue, for ten *Oilers per week.
Comprehend the physical exertion requisite for his
persiStent basket-hilt combats; apprehend the no.
cerstties of matted hair and
. gloomy whiskers; re
collect that the prepriety of the drama demands his
death amid impiecations, and negates the idea of
any future happiness, and you heti° the painful
aggregate of his misfortunes.' So much manifest
discomfort incurred fora sum so pitiful is not
known beyond the segment of the footlights.
So far, the lower prices suggest the fareteal i bitt the
pOor vagrant Dust add
tragical lies beyond - , no
Ashes of the pantomime and the ballet reap the
hard, ungrateful stubble. Ballet girls receive from
$25 to *4 per week. Dedact from such ennui the cost
of wardrobe amithe bills`of the laUndresses, and we
*istizaporiee•theelnetcall the wittimeyand shame—
the long heartache that invests the existence..of
those who move at the tap of the ballet-maistor's
staff. Think of Harlequin, who -leads a long life of
prOpuleion, fiyipg. through pendulous. doors and
windows; of Pantaloon kicked, through. the panto

these weary women; if one could traekthese mal

shocking had hats and threadbare clothes, he Would
understand-what war-times can effect amonga class
wretchedly paid and pitilessly worked.
On the oth'er hand, the managers are alleging the
advanced prices of all theatrical properties, the ei
tra del:Stands of musicians, and the suppositions op
position of the public to any alteration of scales of
admittance. This latter allegation has a base some
what mythical. Our theatre-gOers would scarcely
object to a proper advance In these prices, provided
that allmanagers would combine in the movement,
and afferd the usual equivalent in qualityand quan
tity. But affairs seem now at a dead-lock. Each
faction is imperturbable and defiant. Charges are
met by countercharges, and the press, mildly inter
posing, suggests that either side shall do whatever
it desires to do, and somehow arrive at an amicable
conclusion. The advance of admission prices,
which was promised some time ago, hasnot yet been
officially promulgated ; but the advent of the fait
season will doubtless develop the plan of the mana

• NOTION IN VAOITO.
The "McClellan Minute Men >, are out in an in
dignant protest against charges - recently made of
their connection with the Vallandiglasm movement
in the West.. They assert many pleasant little ego
tism, and indicate their political preference In a,
strain of superior eloquence. All i sholr thoughts are
good, and hallowed by extreme antiquity. No great
excitement has reedited from this development of
their proclivities.

Judge Betty has concluded to give a re.hearing in
the matter. of the recently made for the
release of Messrs. Marsh and Palmer from Fort
Lafayette. The ground for the second hearing is,
that neither of the prisoners were in the military
service of the 'United States at the time of their in
carceration, and consequently are not subject to a
trial by - court martial. General Dix has released
Mr. Binney, one of the recent applicants, on his own

TMi'ELBOTION
THE ZLIGTION YESTERDAY.
The number or votes polled yesterday' WISIS exceed
ingly light. We present a very meagre account of .
the rotten, bet it was all that could berobtained:
The vote presented is on the first ameodcneut for
and against allowing the soldiers to vote. The op
position, as we learned at the various polls; may be
attributed to - two things: First, ignorant voters
thought the amendment conferred upon the negro
soldiers the right to vote. Second, vitro-minded,
honest, and very intelligent voters thought that al
lowing the Eoldtera to vote would open the door to
the meat gigantic fraud& - • •
The entire returns will be made to .day at the office
of the Court of Common Pleas. The following will
serve pretty well as an index to show how the vote
was cost thrtughout the city. Calculations were
made at Headquarters last evening, by which it is
supposed that the majority In the oily in favor of
the amendments Will probably reach 10,000.
In many of the precincts there was little or no op
position to the other amendments.

William Cornell Jewett in Court—He is
Charged with Swindling.
The case of Henry J. Stevens and others against
Thu. Cornell Jewett came up in the Supreme
Court, before Judge Lott, in Brooklyn, to-day, on a
motion to vacate an order of arrest. The following
are the alleged facts In the case:
In Judy, 1860, the defendant, Jewett, went to the
store of Stevens,Brothers, & Co., 222 Pearl street, In
this city, and made a contract with 'them for a
portable steam engine, which he said he wanted to
use in running the works of the Jewett Mining
Company. He agreed to pay cash on delivery. The
plaintiffs immediately got the engine ready, and,
upon delivering ft on board a steamer, Jewett told
them be had a large sum of money In the hands of
his banker, William Rerson, in Denver City, and
prolibsed to give them a draft upon :him him for the
amoutt.
plaintiffs were ignorant of the character and
reputation of Jewett, and believing the statements
he made to be true, delivered the eneiewand ac
cepted the draft. They caused the draft to be pre
sented immediately by the United States Express
Company, when it was alleged that the-whole trans
action'was a fraud; that SevietVslld rio - ac
with Rerson, .and no money in his hands.
The matter was then placed In the hands of the
fiaintiff , s counsel, H. C. Pluce, of Brooklyn, who,
upon the proper affidavits, procured an order to ar
rest said Jewett, and after an unsucoesaful search of
nearly two years, finally made the arrest in New
York. Jewett s t once placed In the hands of the
sheriff the sum of $l,OOO as security for his forthconi
log to answer any judgment that may be obtained'
against him. He then, by his attorney, gave notice
of a motion before Judge Lottto discharge the order.
of arrest. The Judge refused to discharge the az.'
rest, and held the accused.
In the meantime the one thousand dollars had
been deposited in the hands of the county clerk of
Rings county, and the same plantiffs having. other
claims against Jewett, sued out two attachmentsin.
the City Court and Supreme Court, and caused
them to be served on t h e county clerk.
The attachments were procured and served this
morning. The claim of Stevens,' Brothers,-A.Co.
amounts to $1,200. The ease-will come up for trial
at the next term of the court.—N. Y.'Evening Post

influence of a House of Correction is sadly ner.e!
