been on tnc way nineteen days. He had

chances of gettiug away in that direction
better than by the Peninsula, as he felt
certain of being captured had he gone

to lie concealed three days. He finally
reached the Bapidau on Saturday night

The Spotted Fever.
ior some months past a disease known
as malignant typhus fever has prevailed
in some parts ot the city of Philadelphia,
aud particularly the suburban districts.
In the latter it has prevailed to an alarm
ing extent, and many persons were car
ried off with it.
ihe disease so far appears to- baffle
medical skill entirely. We would offer
remedy which we have faith enough in
to use in our own family, in case a phy
siciau could not be obtained. It is :
Take two table-spoonfulls of Quassia, a
baric which may be obtained of almost
any druggist or physician, very cheaply.
Draw as tea, aud drink z? strong as possi
ble every half hour until fever "is broken.

;jt,dB in the liebel service who keep
1 llCr posted, and one ot them is in tno War
Department, has informed her that- "the
Government docs not intend to wait ior
the Yankees to advance, but will concen
trate their armies and strike where least
expected in overwhelming numbers.
This seems to be the only hope of suc
cess." This is a long chcrihhed idea
with the Kebels, and, no doubt, one
whit:h the people expect to see realized, at
least they have been taught to believe so.
But the movements now in progress in
the Southwest, which are distracting the
Bebels and placing their main forces on
the defensive, and the lively signs indi
cated by the Army of the Potomac, will
place it out of the power of the Bebels
to make any strike outside of the limited
territory they now occupy. They appear
to have no faith in North Carolina, and
the Bebel authorities dare not be too rig
id with them, and th.e writer "believes
that one-half of the State would welcome
the" Yankees to-day." The grass is grow
ing in every street in Charleston, which
is deciuoclly a different reading of the
story put forth by the Bebels, who said
that the war would causuUho grass to
i ""row in the-streets of the cities- 'he
rsorth.
The writer says their paper money is
good for nothing. -"It takes a handful to
buy a pair of shoes, and an armful to get
a dress. A hundred dollars in Yankee
greenbacks would be a small fortune.
The poorer classes are suffering terribly,
and there have been several cases of ac
tual starvation" This is a home picture
of Bebeldom, and presents a melancholy
state of affairs, and it shows that the time
is drawing near when they must admit
their Bebclliou against the Government of
the United States to be a failure, and return
their to their allegiance the only remedy
which can save the people from the ruin
which their leaders are bringing upon

in the sstem, and opposed to frequent
changes, and therefore recommends little

of a bill iu the House requiring the dis

those who arc skeptical on this subject,
and who affect to disbelieve the ability
of the National Government to re-establish
its authority over all the rebellious
States, we append the following item from

mail betweeu Eastou and jlellcrtownjwas
being robbed. Suspicion at ouco fixe-l
upon the mail carrier, Mr. Frantz Bahr,
and our postmaster, Dr. Jenuings, at once
laid a plan, to detect him. " On the day
for the departure of the mail for Heller
town,"it was so arranged iu the bag that
the least disturbance of it would lead to
detection, aud it was given to the carrier.
Having started on his way he was follow
ed by our Postmaster and another gov

the route they discovered that the mail
had been tampered with. They pursued
the carrier overtook him, and examined
his bag, found evidence sufficient to fix
the crime upon him. He was according
ly arrested and brought to Easton, and
has been sent to Philadelphia for trial.

General Logan's recent expedition
into Alabama discloses some facts of con

through which it passed, and for miles

Ofilcers wh were in East Tennessee say
that the loyalty of that part of Alabama
is as genuine as any they obtained knowl
edge of in East Tenuessee. There is1 no
whig1 about slavery and abolitionists,
no 'iraor 'huts'; they are for the old U
nion. Men who had lived in the mouu
tains two years to avoid rebel service,
came in and asked to be mustered as sol

made up a company, enrolled their names
on a piece of brown paper with a pencil,
borrowed arms, aud actually went out

iu words, resort to symbols; one has drawn
a copperhead snake, wriggling in thcr
mouth of Buchanan ; another decorates
the head with a cap and bells, and a third,

methods of indicating contempt arc not
of a very high order, but they show how

5fA new counterfeit on the .S"2v
Treasury notes has lately been put in cx-:
tcusive circulation. The face of the bill
is nearly a fac simile of the genuine, anil,
it is supposed that part of the original
dies were stolen, but the fraud is easily?
detected by examining the S20 in the'
vigiuette the cipher in which covers a
portion of the left shoulder of the God
dess of Liberty. In the genuine there is
a blank space between them. The figure
of the goddess it uot so artistic as in the
genuine, and the back of the bill is
coarsely executed.
