JOHN DeYOUNG, THEODORE SCHOCH, July 27, 1SG4.' 3L -The Fast-day recommended by Presi dent Lincoln, was very generally observed in our borough, on Thursdry last, AH the places of business were closed, and services were held in all the churches. OCrThrough Itebel sources we learn that Admiral Farragut recently made an attack upon Mobile and its defences, and that the "prospects are most cheering for the speedy capture of the city. The accounts represent him as having passed the fortifications,. and captured or destroyed the greater portion of the rebel vessels of war. A rebel iron clad of great strength and value is among the trophies. The commander of the rebel fleet, Admiral Buchanan, was made prisoner. AVERILL'S VICT0EY. The intelligence from Averill shows that that officer has pursued the plunderers f Chambersburg into the mountain fast nesses of Virginia. Following close upon Vhe heels of McCausland, Averill overtook Trim on Sunday last at Moorefield, and at once attacked him. A short but desper ately contested engagement resulted in the total rout of the rebels, and the dispersion of the raiding force. McCausland barely escaped by turning toward the mountains; and the ubiquitous Bradley Johnson, who was captured by the Union men in -the former invasion of Maryland, and who es- , caned immediately after, was a second j- - - time in our hands, and was again rescued fcy his own men. Our victory was complete. The scat- texed rebels were pursued for twenty-five SbiTes, and six hundred prisoners were captured by Averill. The loss of our own forces amounted to only seven men Charging with the rapidity of an ava - fenhe. Averill broke and routed the reb els before they could oppose any organ Seed' resistance. The pursuit ended only -jrhe8 the Iwrses of our troopers were too . &tigm& to- follow the fugitive rebels to ft thejuouatains.

There is no truer patriotism, no inorc uncom-i promising loyalty, no more uumncnmj bravery to be found any where tnan is contained within the Borders ot Pennsyl vania, that these have not been employed in the defense of her borders, against the inroads of the rebels, the Governor con- clusively shows is the misfortune but not the fault of her citizens. We vill pub lish the message entire next week, ac cDmpanicd with a synopsis of the procecd- ings of the Legislature 4 The Soldiers Vote. It is said to be a settled thing that the is the indication.

They knew well enough that none but "white free men," citizens of the United States, and of the State, above the age of twenty-one years, were qualified voters of Pennsylva- nia, and that it was only for such as these that the amendment provided : but they TOfr Viminrl t.hnt nothin"- should be left undone to prevent the soldier from be- UUU11U1: U II bbUlkU UUUV.I Wli- 1 t i. r j ' stitution, nothins; that would tend to de grade him to the level of the "nigger." Indeed their whole course through this war proves conclusively that they hold no ill-will against the "nigger," but that they do, because of his true patriotism which prompts him to opposo, at the ballot, the political machinations of the Copperhead leaders, hold in utter detestation the white soldier. They, in fact, love the for- mer, from the bottom of their hearts, for the capital which it is presumed he will furnish them in the coming campaign j and we should not be surprized this fall, as an object of worship, to see him substi tuted on their banners for the American Eagle a bird which, for some years, they have been loosing their pretended respect for. This opposition of the Copperheads to the soldiers exercise of suffrage, has not always existed. During the Mexican ; war, when our troops were fighting in a j foreign country, when fancy lying of the j tallest kind could travel far before stern truth could overtake it, and when men and parties at home could learn to be ha ted, and be made the victims of prejudice, words were hardly competent to the lau dation which these leaders of the democ racy then heaped upon it. 13y means of I misrepresentation they had induced the soldiers to believe that the opposition to a war based upon questionable causes was opposition to them personally, and as they expected to reap the harvest at the polls, they looked upon the. law authorizing the soldier to vote as the very pinacle of Dem ocratic righteousness. The vote was had and the Democratic party was benefited by it to the tune of some 1,800 majori ty. Did the then Whigs object to it ? Did they pamper up a J udgc, wise in his own conceit, to tho denouncing of that vote as unconstitutional ? Far from it. To a man that party stood by the vote, believing as they did that it was a right peculiarly fitted to be exercised by' tfie patriots who were braving the dangers of war, that they might secure the blessings of peace. Why then this opposition now 1 The soldiers are now fighting on their own soil for the preservation of liberty, and of gov ernment itself I Why should the leaders of a once powerful and long dominant party a party whose corner stone has hitherto been "a free exercise of the elec tive franchise by a free people," oppose the rectifying of a glaring wrong of omis sion perpetrated by the framers of the Constitution ? There is but one answer to these questions. In the Mexican war they couutcd 6afely on carrying the sol dier vote with them. In the present war the signs indicate that tho soldier vote will be against them, and on the side ot the country: and in this we must look for the moving spriag of their oppo 'sition on Tuesday the 2nd inst. Because they feared that the soldier would dare to exercise the right as a freeman should, they would, by a refusal of their assent to the adoption of the amendment, do their iutmost to degrade him- to the positiou,of iU,"'"u.uru '"7.; f tLr where he mav be will, in October Wrested and the profit realized upon a military estabiisnmcut, wilu iwurcigu a- CJub of jjeiaware township, and were u- sons which prompted the calling of the matter where he may be wi i, in u 1 Jtock The 117th section of the tion across the Ohio and on thd other side naQimousl adopted.

The subscriptions lists, of both pdpers are destroyed. Four copies were secreted in different parts of the town, but are burned. With their" lists, their subscription ac counts were also destroyed, and subscri bers should at once inform McClurc & Stoner of their address, and the state of jthier subscription accounts, and all subscri bers should prom ply remit arreages and advance subscriptions, to aid the publish ers. In addition to their offices, both of them had their residences burned, with all -their fuvnituro and personal effects the rebels not allowing them to save their clothing. Mr. Stoner was fired at.in his own house for attemping'to save the firm books, and the men who burned Mr. MCclure's residence ;had special orders that, nothing belonging to him should be saved.

Another, buried up to his arm pits in loose dirt,on being approached, cried : "Come, Yanks, for God's sake take me out of this place. It's all over now, and there is ho use of letting a fellow stick here. Come, take me out quick, and I will do as much for you some time." He was taken out. One of the charging officers, noticing the dirt move near him as if a mole or gopher were at work under it, commenced digging, and finally dug out arebcl lieu tenant, who was actually revived, and con versed freely with the officers before being brought from the ground. Several oth ers were exhumed from their living graves an'd restored to consciousness. Before our wounded were removed from the' crater under a flag of truco, their suf ferings during the day and a half they re mained in it were absolutely frightful Their groans and cries for water could be distinctly heard in our entrenchments.

TIIE UNTERRIPIED OF THAT INTENSELY DEMOCRATIC SECTION SPEAKING. We give' below as a matter of history, and for future reference, a specimen ot the kind of Democracy entertained by the "latter-day" men of our neighboring 'county of Pike. The resolutions, were. presented at a meeting of the Democratic ' , . ,Arl ' ., protend still to adhere, o tne p on which Rowland wormed himself into the Legislature, some three years ago. That platform was an eminently war platform but we presume it will be no hard matter for the leaders here to slide the party off on to the more treasonable affair erected kv Mr. Sunerintendent Fulmer. "To he .u i or not to be," is no longer a question with j r the Democracy. The changes i which have marked the party since the war be gan proves that it is a very easy matter for them either to be or not to be just as the chances for the fat of office may dictate. Bead the resolutions and then reflect over their character : Wiieukas, In the painful exigencies of the country we are drawing near to another election and arc menaced on flitf f n rt ni' nviii'ii 1 1 ir 1111 1 iiiii 11111 . uiz ulu; auu u; -.r uu.o. mj ..j x - . , . r zv... tion.

Clouds of Song-Eirda. One of the unaccauntable phenomena of 1S64. says a San Francisco paper, has been the immense multitude of song-birds which have been driven upon the cultiva ted lands of California during the month of May. In the Southern counties thou sands upon .thousands of robins, linnets, thrushes, canaries, orioles, humming birds, finches, blackbirds, magpies, spst: rows, etc., have swarmed round houses and gardens, -destroying the fruit and vegetables, and then dropping down dead near wells aud pools of water. The mor tality among them has beon rnostcxtraof diuary, and is supposed to have been caused by their being driven from the mountains by the April storms of cold, when, not finding food in tho valleys and lowlands, they arc killed by hot wind, hunger and the drought. When picked up, sohietimcs ten and twenty in a lump; they aro completely starved aud fleshless, being often chased down by boys and cats', and expiring in weak twittlcs, mourufuh to the sympathies of the littlopcople who1 lay them iu their gravos: We learn, says The Louisville Demo ' erat, of August 2, that Gen. Burbridg has sent a detail of Union soldiors to Scotif County with a captured guerrilla, with orders to take lunvto the spot whero Rob inson was murdered, and there, execute him. On the same day a captured guer rilla was sent to Pleasurcvillo to be exe cutep ou the spot whero Jenkins shot Mr. Sparks. We also learn that two guerril las have beon sent to Lexington for triaf. 0T "I'll commit you, you're-a nuTsahdc,n' said a justice to a noisy fellowHtit court.
