The United States will furnish horsos and all the equipments Hero is a nice chance for those disposed to enter the most desirable part of the service. CROPS. The Scranton Republican says : Lu zcrne county will turn out a larger aver age of wheat this year than for years patit. This county his suffered terribly from the ravages of the wevil, but this season, the Grst for some half dozen years the wire at is comparatively free fiom it The weather has been favorable both to grass and grain. The former has teen boused in good condition, and the far inert are rapidly sccuriog the latter. 07Congress presents a sublime spectacle, It is a true type of the loyal feelings of the country. There are no pnrty lines. The Douglas Democracy of the free Slates stand steadily by the government; leaving the shame of a factious opposition to the very few who, having been bold enough to go for die' union in I860, now reappear to advocate it in 1S61. The government pafiy in the House is about forty to one, and in the Sen ate about four to one. If the intolerance that characterizes the secessionists w'ere re pcated here, not a voice would be jaiscd a- gainst our nag, ana inose now so reaoy 10 n .t i . embarrass the President and his Cabinet, would be arrested ai:d punished as danger- ous traitors. Two VesselsRecaptured from Jeff. Davis's Pirates. Two vessels recently captured by the reb el Privatrer, Jeff. Davis, the schooner War ing and the brig Cuba, were rescued by their crews and brought snfely into New York. The rescue of the Waring was owing main ly to the daring of the colored steward, named WiMinm Tomlinson, who with a small hatchet killed the rebel prize officers, and then compelled the prize crew to assist in working the schooner into port. The Cuba was recaptured by Capt. Strout and his men without bloodshed. The narativos in both cases are very interesting, We will publish n detailed account of both affairs on the out side of our next week's paper, Tbo Traitor Congress met at Rich mond on Saturday last.

Now, Mr. Editor, I leave it to you. though 1 know you have no interest in our affairs, whether it was the clean thing in the Squire thus to make us the scape gnats of his folly. After culling upon us to hold peace meetings in every town, township, borough and ward in the county, he should have stood by us like a man, and not attempt to make u nion capital for himself, by bullying us like dotrs for haying, at some considerable wear of conscience, shown ourselves weak enough to believe that he meant what he said. In holding the meeting we hut obeyed his be hests, and in resolving fcr peace, at any cost, we but put forth our humble efforts to secure the unity, the integrity and the perpetuity of our noble democratic party.

I 5ldton o'clock, gives the following account ol the engagement': The plan of tho attack was as lollows : There were three Divisions, Col. Richard son commanding on tho left and station ed at tbe plaoo where tho fijjht ooourrod on Thursday last. Col. 11. was to begin tho fight by a feint, in order to divert the attention of the enemy. The Center Di- Tision, commanded by Gen. lylcr, was stationed alout two miles from them, and tbe Right Division, commanded by Col Hunter, must have been three miles from the' center. Col Richardson, with his Brigade, strengthened by Hunt's Battery of Artil lerv and another, were jn position last niht. This morning at 2 o'clock, the head of the advancing column, which was to form the center and right wing, com menced moving and proceeded s-ome three miles beyond Centrctillc, where it divided, a part moving straight forward a mile or so. Tbe remainder turned to the right, and after marching three miles, took up position otiiine with the other two divis ions. The column was five hours in mo ving. Tbe large siego piooe, 32-pounder, was with tbe center. At 6i o'clock this morning, Gen. Ty ler's Division commenced tbe. attack by firing a single gun. No reply was made, a second was fired, with the same result From that time till about 9 o'clock, there was but little firing. At tho latter hour, Col. Richardson and Gen. Tyler com menced a heavy cannonading, which was continued by Gen. Tyler, without any re ply for un hour and a half, wheu tho eno my began to return bis compliments. A bout thin tia.ej the right wing of the Ar my, Col. Iluuter, with which was Gen.

It is soid by deserters and ?pies from Manassas, that the Rebels bavo no real information respecting the numbers of our forces, their estimates varying from 20,000 to 150,000. Probably Beaure guard, however, has knowledge on this -point, which he does not cummunicate. FURTHER PARTICULARS. To the Associated Pres". Washington, Monday, July 22, 1861. After the latest information was re ceived from Centreviile at 1 o'clock last night, a series of events took place in the intensest degree disastrous. Many con fused statements are prevalent, but e nough is koowu to warraut tho statement that wo have suffered in a degree whicl has cast a gloom over the remnants of the army, and excited the deepest melan choly, throughout Washington. The carnage is tremendously heavy ou both aides, und on ours it is represented as frightful. We were advanoin and taking their masked batteries gradually, but surely, and driving tbe enemy to ward Manassas Junction, wben tbe ene my seemed to have been re-enforced by Gen. Johnson, who, it is understood. took command and immediately com menced driving us back when a panic a mong our troops suddenly occurred aud a regular stampede took place. It U thought that Gen. McDowell un dertook to make a stand at or about Cen treville, but the panic was so fearful that the wuoie army oecamc aemoranzeu, ana it was impossible to check at Centreviile or at Fairfax them, either Court-House. Gen. McDowell intended to make an- other stand at Fairfax Court House, but our forces being ,n full retreat, he could not aoconipii-n mo onjoct.
