• THE INVASION.
The rebel General EARLY has gathered
his crops in the Shenandoah, and is once
more on the — war-path, with the evident
intention of reaping a fresh harvest in the
beautiful Cumberland' Valley. The move
ment now commenced, and the end of
which no military skill can gauge, has been
in preparation for a fortnight past, and
there is good reason to believe that it will
prove more formidable' than the last de
monstration against Washington.. Of the
strength -of the enemy, or of his intentionc
of ditirae nothing• is known tens •at pro
seni,nor is it very probable that the mili
tary authorities have as, aecufate.informd
tion Upon these points as could, be desired;:
for reticence is an especial characteristic
of rebel movements. Many hours cannot
elapse, however, without putting us in
possession of the /necessary data; for
whatever the inv i aders attempt to do
they will do vefy rapidly. We have,
for several days Mast, intimated the pos
sibility of such in aggressive movement
as this, but scarcely expected so speedy a
confirmation of bur opinions. Let not our
citizens be lulled into the comfortable
belief that this is another mere plundering
Incursion of the enemy. First a recon
noissance by cavalry, then an invasion in
force, with artillery and infantry; this has
been the invariable policy of the rebels in
this war; and generally it happens that
when the reconnoissance, after rousing the
whole North to a high pitch of excitement,
turns out to be a comparatively harmless
affair, people, settling down to the opposite
extreme - of apathy, strangely infer that the
Tea/ invasion, ;when it does come, is another
wolf-cry. It is best that we should not so
deceive ourselves now. There is actual
danger before us, EARLY is after more
than our corn and our .wheat, our horses
and our cows. It is no ltmger a question
of subsistence merely, but of existence with
the rebel Government.; and it now finds
itself compelled to make a bold and very
'venturesome move to save its own chosen
citadel from capture. We have seen in the
fate of Cbambersburg evidence of how
terribly in earnest the rebels have become,
now that their capital is in danger, and
how easily they can throw aside the garb
of chivalry when it suits their purposes or
needs. Cannot we Pennsylvanians, for the
sake of our honor, if not for the sake of
our lives and properties, evince something
of the same terrible earnestness now that a
haughty and desperate:foe is approaching
the gates of our own capital ? - Governor
Ctirerns is doing all that it would be in the
, power of any Governor to do, with his
hands restrained by cumbrous, conflicting,
and inexplicable militia enactments. He
has called upon us to assemble at
appointed places of rendezvous, that we
may be at least prepared to offer resist
ance to the enemy's .advance. Upon
our own heads be the responsibility
if we fail to respond to this call of, the
Governor with that hearty and unanimous
alacrity that should characterize the re
sponse of any loyal people, concerned for
th'e proteCtion of their own homes.and fire
sides. It is no time now to blame gene
rals, or Legislatures, or any Government
officials; it is not a time to wait for high
bounties, or the tolling of the State. House
hell. It is time for us all to open our eyes
to the conviction that the war is coming
home to us now,' if we are halting and
spiritless enough to permit it ; and, acting
upon that conviction, to lay aside the
hammer, the spade, and the pen, and
take up the sword and the musket. Lit
- tle as we can know of the plans of the
enemy, it amounts almost to a moral
certainty that they will enter Pennsylva-
mitt, and if 'possible devastate the fertile
farms of the Cumberland Valley. the.
Richmond Examiner, of the 27th ult.,-con-
tamed a significant article, in which this
menace occurred : ""It is at least probable
that the States of Maryland and Penneytva.
-via are now q:it Early's mercy. We have
wi reason to doubt that he will be swift to use
-the immense advantage he has gained, though
nos have to-day no news of his march towards
ihe Potomac:" Three days later the same
paper contained this anriouncement, Which
carries with it the air of being something
more than mere speculation: " Once more
General EARLY 'crosses the Potomac with
his gallant corps bf veterans:, This time
there is, in all, probability, no foice in his
front which can make him everi , ; . pause:
Ile rich- valleys of Pennvivania,'-with .
their noble herds and harvests, he open be
fore him, and he may find Washington and
"Baltiraote more unguarded than ever:"
Extracts such as these aresufficient to indi
cate that our Pennsylvania barns and cat-
tle-pens are the chief goal of the rebel
/enders. But, as we have said, they 'come
not for plunder alone. One of their.chief pur
poses is to disconcert the present campaign
against Richmond, to which end a menace
against Washington, and a repetition of
the recent operations in that quarter, are
not improbable, that GRANT may be re
called from his position before Petersburg.
To a great extent, if not wholly, it rests
with ourselves to say whether GRANT shall
be allowed to progress with his cam
paign, or whether lie shall be drawn Win
the midst of it. If toe can Cake care of our
-
Mom, GRANT can lake care of Richmond.
Is not the prize worth' an effort t If our
Pennsylvania militia, with the assistance
of the 6th and a part of the 19th Corps, to
say nothing of A.TERIL7Ai Cnopx, HUNTER,
and KELLY, can manage to hold EARLY
at bays; or, if we can even manage to
clo this thing, with a few reinforcements
from our armies in the field, GILANT will
have such a splendid opportunity of moving
against the enemy's works as . may never
()mow again, and We shall have the satis-
„ .
l'aCtiOn of having convinced the rebels that
reri A sylvpia is no entirely at their mercy,
but is at all times competent to defend her
border: We haveonly need to give the
enemy such an assurance once, and the
jes t ion'will lsisting. Our Pennsylvania
Amtutored though they be, are
brave, and do.not, fear the foteiyill they
try this time to give him another Gettys•
burg reception ?
A Change in the Character of the War.
Petersburg and Atlanta'are now the - sole
pillars of the Conlederaq. The-,,Military
power of the South is fist Crumbling away.
The forces of LEE in 'Virginia '(which, in s
eluding those of EARLY at Martinsburg, do
not exceed one hundred-and fifteen thou
sand men), and those under ROOD, ill
Georgia, which are reliably ascertained
not to exceed forty-two thousand men, are
the only armies that remain to. oppose our
progress to victory and peace. At Charles-
ton and Mobile, and other points along the
coast, only suf f icient forces have been
•spared to garrison the posts, whULthe
guerilla gangs in Tennessee, Kentucky,
Arkansas, and Missouri, are not of suffi
eient strength, even if consolidated, to
seriously interfere with the prospects of
the campaign. There can be nothing more
certain„ than this, that when we have
crushed HoOnsand LEE we have crushed
the rebellion ; and when we find such a
gratifying certainty supported by the
- gratifying probability that these two armies
will, at no distant day, be forced to come out
from their coverts 'and abide the decision of
battle, we can share in the common satis
faction all loyal hearts must feel, and regard
with confidence such slight temporary re
verses -as are inseparable from all military
operations. Guassr is not idle before Pe
tersburg, and SEErtmars is manceuvring to
such purpose before Atlanta that the be
sieged city-with its garrison is not Unlikely
soon to fall, into his possession, Ultimate,
1 victories for the Union arms in both of
1 these theatres oewar may be confidently
looked for, whatever advantages may fall
to ourselves or to the enemy elsewhere;
and, indeed, the probabilities of such vic
tories have been Candidly discussed in the
Ger.* Constitutionalist• and various Rich:
mond papers. -.Their occurrence will not
'merely amount' to the capture of two im
portant fortified cities, but will almost in,
evitably be equivalent to the: disintegration,
ifnot the capture, of the two main rebel
armies ;, for it is asserted that SnEassast
has succeeded in cutting alt the commu
nications with "the heart of the Confede
'racy," and GRANT, if properly reinforced,
-has demonstrated that s he can readily do
the same' with " the head of the Con
federacy."
The rebel armies have entrenched skil
fully and fought bravely, but they must
finally succumb. Audit' may be assumed,
as a necessary result, that their discomfiture
will either result in an immediate cessation
of the war or in a total change in its cha
racter and purposes. When LEE and BEAU
REGARDand Hoots have been disposed of,
the lesser champions of the Confederacy
will most likely be thrust forward into
greater significance ; and insteaclof a strictly
'defensive war, an offensive guerilla war,
under the leadership of such chivalrielspi
rits as MOSERy, McCAUsLAND, FoRREST,
and 'QUisimitELL, and' their kin, will be
initiated-ai the sole reliance of the South.
There will be no other alternative for the
rebels if they desire to maintain a hopeless
contest. They do not entertain .a scruple
as to the propriety of adopting such a policy.
In fact, 'upwards of a year ago, it was ap
proved and legalized by the Confederate
Congress—if such an outrageous style of
warfare can be legalized in any Christian
land. In future, until the end of the war,
raids will vrobably be constantly occurring.
Already, in our own State, we have evi
dence of the commencement of them, and
in Kentucky they are announced every
week. The Richmond Examiner of the
2ith instant has an article upon this sub.
ject, which I ,opens with' the assertion - that
" The war has reached that stage in which
success can only be attained on either side
through a destruction of the other's mate
rial resources." Further on the writer
argues that, "In a contest who shall .de
stroy most property, the advantage is not
altogether on the side of the party which
can muster the most men, but may be
shown to lie on the side of those who,
having little to lose themselles, are in the,
best possible condition and frame of mind,'
to play the game of havoc - with -an-adver
sary-i'vho hits much to lose."
The sole reason offered for the inaugura
tion of indiscriminate warfare against the
North by the Richmond editor is the as
sumed necessity of retaliating upon us,
because our generals " avoid pitched bat
tles," "studiously flank" their armies, and
" devastate the country with raiding de
tachments" from the main bodies l It is
almost needless to say that the first two of
these reasons are ridiculous, and that the
last is based upon a false assumption. Ex.:
tensive! as has been the damage inflicted
upon the resources of the rebellion by
GRrERSON, STONEmAN, ROUSSEAU, STUR-
M, and As - zums., and other of our gallant
officers in their , raiding expeditions, the
crime can never be justly charged, upon
them-of having wantonly destroyed or in
terfered with private property, or of having
committed any breach of the ethics and
proprieties of war. It is not to be denied
that many towns and villages in the South
have been destroyed by fire, and that
isolated cases of outrage upon non-com
batants may be recalled, but such. deeds
have always been unwarranted, and when
discovered the offenders havti invariably
been punished. The town of 'Jackson
ville, Fla., evacuated by our forces, was
burned by accident ; so with the, town of
Washington, N. C.; so with the town of
Alexandria, La.; and so with Fairfax, and
many other points in Virginia ; but none of
these cases can furnish stpaiallel to the
atrocity that deliberately plundered and set
fire to the unprotected town of Chambers
burg. If it had been in retaliation for any
similar outrage committed by Union troops
we could have nothing to say; but to ac
cept it as the fortune of war ; but it was
without cause, without the excuse of re
taliation, and, was simply an exhibit of
devilish malignity that deserves the heavi
est retribution. •
Forced into adopting the system of parti
san warfare, as the only method of pro
longing their resistance, the rebels will, of
course, endeavor to make a virtue of neces
sity, and seek to convince us that motives
of revenge alone instigate them to this
change of tactics.. It is impossible, how
ever, for them to conceal the weakness of
their cause. The raids with which they
,have already visited us, and with which
they propose to menace us in future, are
the plainest possible confession of their
desperate straits; and, although for a time
they may occasion us much annoyance and
pecuniary loss, we shall have the great
satisfaction of knowing that they are the
infallible precursors of the overthrow of
rebel military power.

Imperial Troubles , in Mexico.
MAximilllat of Austria is not getting on
very prosperously in Mexico. Like a form
er Emperor there, he finds himself not ex
actly reclining upon 'a bed of roses. The
civil war, which was to have ended, as by
magic, at his august approach, rages as be
fore. The Juarist forces refuse to acknow
ledge NAPOLEON 's nominee, and continue
to fight the. French troops whenever they
can find them, frequently going to the
length of beating them. The armistice
which bas been proclaimed has not been
accepted. The Imperial proclamation *of
pardon (to all'but those who have'hilled a
French soldier or.burned a place occupied
by the French) has been_ equally unhe,eded.
The Emperor finds himself isolated in the
capital. His wife, a charming Young lady
only twenty-four years old, (daughter of
LEOPOLD of Belgium, and grand-daughter
of Louis PBTLEPPE, formerly " Citizen
ging," and great humbug in his waY,)
languishes for amusement and society ; she
has no female friends or visitors, no balls
at Thich 'to play the Empress, and ex
hibit the latest fashions from the Place
Vendome ;- and, worst of all, as the rave
mie does not_ pay the expenses, there is a
difficulty in obtaining remittances from
theloan in Europe, for which this revenue
was the guarantee, and MAXDWILIA2T• has
been compelled_ to appoint .a permanent
committee to inquire into the causes of
this fiscal;failurq. It would be put* to
saithat.this Condition of affairs surprises
or affectaus. ,the contrary, cause and ,
effect are visiblp in it; we see. the moral
retribution vhich generally pullifi/Leg
doing even in this world. Maxturnielf,
several weeks before the French eipedi
tion went to Mexico, had accepted the> fu
ture throne of that country, a republic at
the time, and which NAPOLEON, in one of
his proclamations, said he never meant to
meddle with. The compact between these
two conspirators, NAPOLEON and Ma.xt
,MILIAN, really was a conspiracy to which
ALDIONTE, MIRAMON, and other Mexi
can traitors were parties also. When Mem-
MILIAN received the Mexican deputies,
last October,, pretending that his selection
by the pretended. Assembly of Notables
was an entirely unexpected honor, he was
a hypocrite and a liar, for he knew that
NAPOLEON had arranged allithat with him
before ever a French transport sailed-.for
Mexico. And when the same MAXIMILIAN
said to the deputation " I must make my
acceptance of the throne dependent upon a
plebiscite of the whole country," he again
was untrue, for he reigns in Mexico with
out ever having had a public vote as to his
doing so. The plain truth is, we believe,
that this needy Austrian prince, owing
$2,000,000, for - which his creditors un
pleasantly pushed him, was glad to give
them leg bail by escaping to Mexico, no
minally as Emperor. As things are now
advancing in that country, no monarch
living holds his position by such an uncer
tain tenure. Els "loving subjects" are
generally against him, and the country
does not pay taxes sufficient to defray the
every-day expenses of the new Empire and
of maintaining the French army who
up
hold it.

THE RECENT CALL VOR YOLIJNTEERS--
EQUALizATION OF THE QUOTA—OPIAIoN
OF SOLICITOR WHITING.
The Solicitor of the. War Department, Mr. Wit.
LIAM Virtual:sa l has delivered an opinion regarding
the recent call for 500,000 volunteers and the ques
tions relating thereto as respects the settlement of
quotas. Re says the chief object of these laws is to
bring able-bodied men into the military service and
to distribute as equally as practicable the burden of
supplying them. The Solicitor says that each man
furnished under the present.oall, whether his period
of enlistment be longer or shorter, should count
only one in the quota now required, and each dis
trict shOuld furnislk the full number of men whit*
should finally be determined on and called :for as
Its quote ; bat if one district shall till its quota with .
One-year :men, and if another district shall fill Its
quota with three-years' men, the amount of service
oil these districts will not be equal,
The Solicitor agrees to give credit under a new
call to the district Lfurnishing tbree-years volun
teers; three times the amount of service credited to
the districts.furnishing only one-year volunteers.
That district which, in the'present draft, furnishes
one-year men, cuts up its burden into three 'arks,
and shoulders only one part, the present year,
leaving the rest to be met on the next pall; where
as, tthe district furnishing three years' men now.
gains et once the same benefit in the quota of the
next drafti as though it had furnished three times as
many men for one year's service.
The Solicitor concludes as follows':
It is the duty of each district to furnish the full
number of men designated as its 'quota. These men
nimbi be received;whether for one, two, or three
years? service,_.Tkose.'distyleM which furnish threi
years men now he.entitled to the full benefit,
therefore, on all tante-Calls.
DECISION BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL,
The Attorney General has decided that a collector
or deputy colleetor is not entitied'to a moiety of the
fine assessed against a Party who is convicted of the
offence defined by the 10th section of the internal
revenue act of 1662. This opinion is equally appli
cable to the corresponding Foal= of the act of 3864,
where the same provision with some additions is re
enacted.

at half past two o'clock this morning, our troops
evacuated Hagerstown. -
Our pickets report the enemy on the Sharpsburg
road. At five A. M. scouts came irk, reporting the
rebel Infantry pickets three miles below, on tho
same road, when a general skedaddle of citizens
ensued.
Up to eight A. IL or to.daPnothlng farther has
been heard In that direction. A gentleman, who is
'vouched for as reliable, says he saw the enemy
crossing at Williamsport this morning. Tiro scouts
report the same thing.
The Impression in 'official circles is that the ene
my is approaching in force. This opinion is backed
by testimony which is now in the possession of the
authorities. --
Rebels entered Hagerstown at nine o'clock this
morning, at which hour Wm. B. Wilson lel. Par.

FIGHTIOP AT NNW CRBI2B.
HAnsisnona, August s.—There has been fighting
since 4P.M. of yesterday at New Creek. The ene

towards Williamsport, from Martinsburg, yritli n a
brigade of inf entry, whilst a large body of his cavalry
were at Hedgeoville, in Berkeley county:
(The above despatches relative to the advance of
the rebels corroborate what we published yesterday.
They differ somewhat as to the point on the Potomac ,
at which the rebels crossed, but it is likely that they
crossed at both Hancock and Williamsport. Should
Such be the case, they are Undoubtedly in heavy
force.]
THE HEBEI. OCCUPATION OP HAGERSTOWN Orin-
Hannienune, August S.—The ocoupation of Ha
gerstown Is confirmed by official despatches. Three
regiments of cavalry, _and two of infantry, are
strongly posted in and around the TO PRI. 'rho ex
pedition being aecompanied by infantry Is a strong
indication that it is the advance of a large body, as
no marauding is accompanied by such troops•
After crossing at Shepparclstovrn, It appears .that
the enemy passed through Sharpsburg and Turks
town. So sudden was the deecent upon Hagers
town that the operator who oommunicated the
fact wee compelled to leave on a hamPoar, closely
pursued by a cavalry force. He was In range of
their revolvers for a considerable time, and only
escaped after hard work at the wheels..
We are still in telegraphic, communication with
State Line, a station on the Franklin railroad,
seven miles north of Hagerstown. The operator
there states that the, rebels in 'Hagerstown have
thrown out pickets, hut as * . et have 'made jno

The rebels have entered Middleburg,- eleven miles
north or Hagerstown. In what force they entered

It is presumed that they have moved the five regi-

operations with as much mystery as possible, both
as to their numbers . and the columns which they are

PRAT OF zecoorc.
NAV:IV/LLB, Aug. 4.—General Stoneman sent a
force of cavalry, eonskting of Long and Lagrange's
brigades, 3,200 strong, on the 26th ult., under the
command of General Edward McCook, to destroy
the Macon and Western Railroad.
They had destroyed eighteen mileS of the road,
and started to capture a train of five hundred
wagons going from Atlanta to Macon, or Columbus.
McCook captured this 'train 'near Neuman, with.
five hundred men, including one hundred and
twenty.seven officers, and wagons laden with valet.
able stores, including liquors and valuable papers of
General Hood and others.
After posse Siting themselves of what they wanted,
the wagons were burned, and TdoCook started to
return with the prisoners and 3,000 mules, but was
overtaken by a rebel :Rove, -under General Ransom,
so large as to completely surround him. A. despe
rate engagement followed, during which many of
McCook's men 'escaped and found their way to Ma
rietta. The number of Federals captured' will, it is
believed; reach 2,000. This disaster is attributed to
the troops partaking too freely of the liquors found
in the captured train.
Longs brigade consisted Of the 3d and 4th Ohio,
2d Indiana, and 4th Regulars; and part of La
grange's brigade was composed of troops who were
with Rousseau in his late expedition. '
Forrest is reported at Atlanta, with Hood.
Two hundred and thirty-seven rebel, prisoners
reached here last evening, including eleven com
missioned officers.

in breaking the Macon road, and capturing and
destroying a wagon train. He captured 72 officers
and 35 men, but was obliged to' let them go. His
safe return with so many men reduces his loss
very materially. More of his men will 'probably

cities of New York and Brooklyn. The average de
mand on them is for 3,877 men, while the cents re

not greater, than the other Beet ions.

The effects of the long-continued drought are
being felt even here amid the bricks and mortar,
where so little_ pure water is ever used, except in
cases of fire. Many years ago, water was a favorite
drink of a nureber of oar most respectable men.
There exists excellent historical testimony in favor
_of this fact, although many enthusiasts affect a
doubt in the premises. And yet, with all this
aquatic economy, we find the Croton Board appeal
ing to the citizens, Letting forth the, results of this
drought, and the low ebb of Croton Lake; moreover,
prohibiting Abe Use of water for street cleaning and
sprinkling purposes. The recent showers do. not,
seem to have added, in any degree, to the volume of
the lake. From the very general inconvenience
which invariably results from the breaking of a
math, we can easily comprehend what would follow
an exhaustion of our supply for .days, perhaps for'
weeks.

The new Italian iron-clad "Portogallo” steamed
out yesterday on a preliminary trip, and attracted
much attention from those who were fortunate
enough to be along the docks at her time of sailing.
The trip, whieh lasted about eight hours, fully de
monstrated her capacities, and resulted in general
satisfaction. She obeys her rudder splendidly, and
when beyond the Hook was turned completely la
about four minutes. The rapidity with which her
broadsides oats be thrown may be judged from the
'capacity thus developed.
ANOTHER MIIIWIIIC.
Yesterday morning died another victim or the
ferocious brutallty which is engendered in the slums
of this city. An Irishman, named Manning,
enraged because his wife took - from him a can of
beer, seised a brooMstick and struck her over a
hundred blows about the head and shoulders. Not
satisfied with the infliction of this poniqhment, he,
in the words of an eye-witness, ' , knocked her head
down against the stone - steps, and beat- her brains
out.'" In the opinion of the witness, Manning was
sober at the time he committed the act.
A fresh object of Interest has just appeared in
this city, in the person of General Don Jose Do
mingo Cortez, Who, it is said, aided In defeating the
French before Puebla, and, having been prevented
from joining General Diaz at Saltine, awaits here a
fitting Opportunity for returning to the service of ,
his country.- Meanwhile he languishes in strait

any donations will be thankfully received and pro

A New Yorker returned yesterday morning from
City, Point, Virginia, having visited the Army of
the Potomac to distribute supplies for the soldiers,
which had been contributed by the congregation
under his charge, in eTtthty-severith street. After
performing this duty he made a tour of the camps,
and paid his respects to General Grant. Of this in.
terview he gives the following lateresting account :
/ learned that the headquarters of the General
were about s quarter of a mile from my own stop
ping place, and immediately repaired thither. To
the person whom I met at the entrance I told my
business, stating that I was a member of the com
mittee appointed at the. Grant meeting, held in
New York in June.
" I think the General will be glad to see you,"
said be ; he is disengaged jgo to him there, ender
the fly."
I. went at once and introduced myself to lam.
Ms address Is remarkable. Ile has the faculty of
putting evert body in his company immediately at
ease, and at the same time never lowers IW:itself.
There la nut a trace of the affectation •tnat charac
terizes a man who has stepped into a rank wilier'
he feels to have added to his importance ; and he
is utterly destitute of vulgar familiarity of Man
ner. Be if a good representative of republican life
In this country, where a man may take the place
which his talent, taste and ability indicate, and yet
be "a man for at that."
As soon as salutations had been exchanged, I
opened my business, referring to the great meeting
held in Union Square in Jane where I had the
honor of speaking, as well as of Ageing the add r'4B
which had been prepared and transmitted to him by
the National Committee.
"Tee sentiment of that meeting, General," I re
marked, " was to uphold the Union cause and Gen.
Grant, even though we that same day had heard of
a repulse."
"'There is no danger of a permanent repulse " he
answered. "Though seentiogly we are taking a ,
great deal of time, let we .are rising up the rebel 1
army taster than it can be replenished. It will take
more time, but I am fully confident of the result."
"General," I remarked, "the People of New York
now feel that there is one at the head of our armies
in whom they can repose the fullest confidence."
"Yes," he interrupted, "there is a man in the
West in whom they can repose the utmost cond..
dence, General Sherman. lie is an able, upright,
honorable, unambitious man. We lost another one
of like character a law days ago, General lidePher-
Son."
Changing the subject, he asked me to make his
apologies to the National Committee for neglecting
to acknowledge their resolutions. "I am glad of
an opponunii y of explaining why I have not returned
a reply," said he; "1 Sant the resolutions immedi
ately to 'Mrs. Grant, and they have not been ye
turned."
The Peeiltoll of our army before Petersburg Is one
which gives us the advantage. Heretofore the cue
my titre had the inside, and been enabled to man
eEe so as to secure all the belittles which
that position 'affords. General Grant has now got
that interior line, and can throw troops from one
point to another, mass them, and employ them to
the greatest advantage, and the rebel general can
not prevent him. General Lee has hand his master.
The attack on Petersburg, last week
- ing to Insure a triumph, was by no thetitis a u lieriods
()baster:. The plans of the General commanding
were such as to ;:n.'"rt the possibility of any enfi
lading fire; but some of C;i:s. subordinate generals
failed to carry out their part of the programme.
But lor this omission no their part, Petersburg, it is
sale to declare, would have been ours. It will be,
yet • but at a sacrifice of more time.
- -
T ere Is every reason for confidence in the opera
tions of our army in Virginia. They are exhaust
ing the enemy, maintaining their own ground, and
encroaching on their adversaries. Their cowman=
der too, is an earnest man, and believed in the
work at which he is engaged.

BOLD ATTRMET TO 8801,1 . 11.-41. person named
Victors, who was on trial in -Reading, on Thursday
' last, tor stealing a horse and baggy, made an ener
getic attempt to escape, just after he had been sen
tenced to three years , imprisonment in the Eastern
Penitentiary. The sentence given, he was placed in
a back seat next a window, on the north side of
the court-room, where prisoners are usually kept.
The day being exceedingly warm the windows
were raised. The prisoner watched his oppor
tunity, and took advantage of the confusion
incident to the adjournment or court, and
sprang out of a window to the ground, a dis
tance of about twenty feet and made off for
the hills. As be was about disappearing from the
window, half a dozen. voices shouted " There he
goes !" "There he goes I" Instantly away ran the
officers, jury, and audience, in several instances
without bats or cgate, in hot haste, boys 'screaming,
"stop thief," "Haul um :up,"' "go It Wicks," Ac.,
am.; the maid threw down liter pail or pitcher, the
seamstress her needle, the boy. bia barrow, all ran to
see what was wrong ; matrons and grannies, pale
with fright, flew to hear whether the crack of doom
or some or Jeff's cavalry had come: He was finally
apprehended by a party of soldiers Who met him la
the vicinity of the upper depot, and had kiln de
livered to the custody of the ,ofideers. .Had it bees
bight he would certainly have escaped.—Reading
Daily Reporter.
SHOOTtYG AERATIL—We are inftwmed that a Mr.
Hamer, of the vicinity of Gettysburg, was shot on
Sunday last; a few miles from this place, by a sol
dier belonging to Coles cavalry. It seems that the
soldier "gobbled up" a horse belonging to an up.
country farmer, who,_with several others, went in
pursultof the soldier having the stolen horse, and
when they overtook the thief they demanded the
horse, which was refused, when they attempted to
force or compel him to deliver up the animal, when
the soldier drew-a revolver and tired, the ball en
tering above the knee end passing down toLthe calf
of the leg, making a painful wound. The soldier
was immediately arreaced and brought to thisplaee •
and lodged in the " loiik.up" for sate - keeping, when
the next day he was put in the hands of thevroper
authorities at Carlisle. The wounded rasa, Xi.
Hamer, was also brought to 'town and hafftheilial..:
extracted.—Hanover Spectator.
Tax MURDERER Annsteren.—Robbins, the man •
who murdered Mr. Ward, of Niles, Ohio,-and•to
whom we referred
_yesterday, has been arrested.
The arrest, says the Elie Daily Dispatch;. was -made
in Canada, opposite Black Rock, on Saturday last,
by Chief Crowley, of this city, Gallagher of Cleve
land, and Darsey of Butialo. Detective Ferguson
and Wm. Allen were on his track, and hadh prior
claim to the arrest of the murderer, but the former
party stationed a posse of constables around the
house while a warrant Was being procured. A - large
reward—eome five or six thousand dollars—was
offered for hie apprehension. He was taken to
Cleveland Saturday night.
MURDER OP A NEGRO SZTISTITuTE.—Last week
some substitute dealers brought a lot of negroes to
Tunkhannock, Wyoming county from Canada, to
sell as substitutes , making a prOOL 0fe16226 cash' on
each. On Thursday George - ficilmehZone of the tie.
groes, getting sick of the business, tried to escape.
He started from tho hotel and ran.rapidly down-the
street toward the river, closely punned by three of
those having them in charge. When some ten or
twelve rods irons the hotel, one of them tired a pis
tol at him, from about four rode behind. Another
shot was tired after running a few; rods farther.
Neither shot took effect, but greatly frightened the
fugitive negro. He and his pursuers dished through
the toll gate and across the river bridge, near which
his pursuers caught up with him, and abused him
so that he died on the spot. His skull was fractured
and he was otherwise badly injured. The murder
ers were arrested.—keading Deify Reporter.
UNION CONVENTION IN CLARION COITETT.--:
A Convention of the Union citizens of Clarion coun
ty was held in the court house at Clarion, on the
28th ult. Delegates were present from' nearly all
the townships, many being prevented by the
heavy rain from coming, and the proceedings passed
off very harmoniously. Resolutions endorsing the .
Baltimore platform were passed. Hoe. Autos
Myers, the member of Congress from the district,
was renominated by acclamation. Hunter Orr was
nominated for Assembly.
IMPOD.T.eIiT LAWSUIT SETTLBD.—The Binds.
ford (Maine) Journal states that the great sewing.
machine' suit in tho United States Court, be
tween Shaw & Clark, of Biddeford, on one side,
and Wheeler & Wilson, 'Grover & Baker, Singer
& Co. and Howe on the other, has been fully
and filially settled. The Journal says "The suit
was brought by the large companies, who com
bined to prevent the defendants from making
and selling sewing machines, which they alleged
infringed their patents. The beat patent law
yers to be obtained were employed by both par
ties. after several years of tenacious and ex
pensive fighting, the complainants succeeded in
establishing their patent, and got out an injunc
tion ; but Shaw & clerk in the meantime had ob.
tained an interest In an older patent than theirs,
and got the Government to extend it for seven years,
with claims covering not only machines made by
thr complainants, but all the sewing machines of
any kind now made in the country. -This, of course,
placed the ' boot on the other leg' at once; the result
being that the whole matter has now been settled
by thaw & Clark receiving au interest valued at
one million five hundred thousand dollars in the
whole sewing machine business. Tlast old patent
spoken of is now considered the moll valuable of
any in existence, except the rubber patent, as it Will
control the whole sewing machine interest of the
country. This is about the first instance which we
are aware of where both parties - to a lawsuit came
out ahead, and shows that etrategyfria not entirely
confined to war.”
A Pstrnomcnon.—On the line
,of the Atlantic
and Great Western Railway, near- -Wooster, Ohio,
the embankment and track lately•disappeared in
most mysterious manner. Upon examination it was
found that about a hundred feet of the road had
sunk, and was continuing to sink, while, into the
cavity formed, black mud and heavy - atrearns of
water gushed from below. With the water there
were thrown up a number of eyeless fish, still living.

MALL THERE BE A DRAPT ?
The question which now agitates the public mind,
Will there be a draftl can be settled by the citizens
themselves, either in the affirmative or negative, as
they may choose. If proper efforts be taken, and
the means begun by the bounty fund convention be
properly carried out, the quota of the city—to wit,
9,239, may be made up in the month we now have
before us, In which to do so. At the eonven
tion last night, the president of the convention
was appointed a committee of one to Maar
with the Adjutant General of the State, in order
to have mustering lieutenants properly- commis
stoned, that they may attend to the business of re
cruiting, with the authority and power which is
requisite to enable them properly to do So. There
are to be ten lieutenants appointed In the city to
raise a regiment, to be credited to the city,
and specially credited to those wards whose de
ficiencies are the largest. The Union League has
loaned its aid to these men in getting up their roe.-
, ment, and es soon as it Is recruited to its proper
standard, another and another will be raised by new
g office g rs. While the raising
.of these regiments is
. woi on fr the benefof the poorer wards the ch
ards will o still be at work endeavoring to'haverise
- exults raised and credited on their deficiency, and
we may expect great activity in the recruiting
business for some time. Councils at their meeting
yesterday passed an ordinance providing for the
payment or a bounty of $4OO - to ene-year recruit%
thus making a total of $717, which a recruit will re
ceive In one year, besides his clothing and food.
The following shows the quota required from each
ward, the credit of each, and the deficiency remain
ing. The credit and deficiency of the Twenty-second,
Twenty-third, and TwentrEifth Wards la not
