The Agricultural Pair. Our County Agricultural Fair promises to far surpass any which have preceeded it. We hear of quite a member of our Agriculturalist and amateur gardens, who are making great exertions to show what Monroe County soil can do, for the in dustrious husbandman. The depart ments of articles will also prove quite at tractive features. The lovers of good stock will be pleased to learn that the ef forts of the management to make this de partment excelsior, are on the most liber al scale. A Sjiccial Premium of Two Hundred Dollar for the best trotting, and other proportionate premiums arc a- mong the evidences of this fact. Pre- pare then, all hands, to attend the Fair, and bring something with you for exhi bition. Advices from the Army of the Potomac We have a great many advices, from the army, but nobody seems to take the advice. In the first place, men down there are get ting fewer, and we are advised at home, by the increased bounties and the increased number of "bounty jumpers." that men are valuable- Also, another advice is not to . - 7 wear your good clothes either under Burn side or a mine, for you might get blown up for so doing ; but when you go down to the army, either as brigadier or vivandiere, get suitable clothing at R, C.

The following is the address made by Admiral Buchanan to his men on board the ram Tennessee, on the morning of the 5th instant, when he discovered Ad miral Farragut's fleet approaching the bay: "Now, men, the enemy is coming, and I want you to do your duty; aud you shall not have it to say, when you leave this vessel, that you were not near enough to the enemy, for I will meet them, and then you can fight them alongside of their own ship j and if I fall, lay me on one side and go on vith the fight, and never ind me but -whip and sink the Yankees or fight ntil you sink yourselves, but do aot sitrrerxler," CO" The bachelor has to look out for num ler 4one,"the married man forjnumber.' two." ;The Kilitia law of Pennsylvania Harrisburg, August 26:- The following is a summary for popular use of the prinic- pal points of the militia laV of the State, as amended by the Legislature which has just adjourned: The militia consits of able-bodied white citizens, bc-rcen 21 and -45 years, except idiots, lunatics, Irunkardsvvagabonds, pau pers and -criminals. The citizens exempt from enrollment aro those physically disabled; members and offi cers of the Legislature, heads of State De partments at Harrisburg, Judges and Clerks of Courts, Sheriffs, Recorders of Deeds, Re gisters of Wilis, Prothonotaries and District Attorneys millitia officers who have served seven, or volunteers, who have served three years. The enrolled militia must drill by com- nnnifls thrice, and by regiments at least twice a year. The penalty for non-attendance is five dollars per diem for officers and three dollars for privates. The State is divided into twenty militia divisions." Each county is a separate -'brirauc. except I'lniauejnhia (winch is four) and Pitsburg (which is one). The enrolled militia must unifrom them selves. The Stale allows for each uniform 86. The penalty for neglect or refussal is 826. The militia is not liable to be called into active service, except in case of inva sion. insurrection, riot, or tumult, made or the threatened, or in obedience to the or ders of the Governor. When in service, the miltia, receive the same pay as the United btatc trooDS. and the families ot dead or wounded are entitled to pensions. The Governor possesses all needful pow ers to organize the entire State militia, and, in addition, has special powers to organize as many regiments as he may think proper (not exceeding fifteen), to be called the Pennsyl vania State Guard. The companies of this organization elect their own officers, but the Governor appoints the regimental officers. This State Guard may be kept in service so long as deemed necessary, not exceeding three years, and the men may be raised by draft in the whole or any particular part of of the Commonwealth. When drafted eith er in the State Guard or the regular militia, the man must appear in person or by substi tute, or else "suffer such punishment a8 a court-martial may determine." The militia bill and its two supplements comprehend an immenes mass of details, and define the duties and power of officers, en rollers and assessors, tliL method of arming, equipping, etc., etc. The three laws, consis ting in the aggregate of about two hundred sections, are in the hands'bf the State prin ter, and will be printed, by authority of the Legislature, at an earlv day. The militia of Pennsylvania, like that of any other State, is made subject to the call of the General Gov ernment at any time. Chiriqui Images. We have had the pleasure of examining a quantity of gold received by Dr. J. C. Aycr & Co., from Honduras, in payment for their medicines, which are extensively sold throughout Central America. A- o mong massive crosses, bracelets, ?nd chains, are the rude images which have been taken from the graves of the Chiri qui chiefs birds, turtles, serpents, bugs and reptiles done in-solid gold. Theycar ry us back beyond historic times, to peri ods and places where barbarism reigned suppreme. They seem to come here now in mute appeal from the winding sheets of their ancestors, to ask for the simple In dians in the mountains, medical protec tion from cultivated skill, against diseases which gather them up in too early graves. Ignoraut and unlettered as they arc, they have learned of the white men enoug to know where to apply for relief, and what will bring it. Our well known townsmen, above named, inform us that they require their remittances from for eign countries now to be made in silver and gold. -Lowell Sentinel, Mass. From Gen. Grant's Army. TUB BATTLE OF THURSDAY. OUR LOSS 2,000 REBEL LOSSES 5,000. Great Suffering in Richmond. Washington, August, 29. A'letter received from the Army of the ;Potouiac dated yesterday, says : All is quiet except the usual picket fi ring in front of the 9th Corps. The firing on our right on Thursday and Friday was occasioned by a move ment of our troops from one position to another, which the enemy evidently did not understand, and were perhaps fearful that it meant another attack on the right at Ream's Station on the Weldon Railroad. Our total loss in the fight of Thursday will not, it is said, exceed two thousand, wliile that of the enemy is supposed to be about five thousand. We still hold about four miles of the )Veldon Railroad, aud the portion aban doned by the Second Corps was effectu ally destroyed. Deserters who came in yesterday say that Gen. A. P. Hill's corps, with two di visions of Gen. Long-street's, and the Jeff Davis Legion, were the Rebel troops engaged on Thursday. They also state that since the Weldon Railroad fell into our position, pork had advanced to $6 and beef to 8 a pound in Richmond, and their officers declare that the road must be re-captured at all haz ards.

The other day .we heard a.rich neigh bor say he had rather have railroad stocks thantho U. S. stocks, for they prsjd high er interest. . Just then Poor' Richard came up, and said that he just bought some of Uncle Sam's three years notes, paying seven and tliree-tentha per cent, interest. My rich friend exclaimed, "You! I thought you had no money to buy with." "Yes," said Richard, "I had a little laid up, for you know it ia well to have something laid up against a wet day, and I have kept a littel of my earnings by me." Now Poor Richard is known to all the country round to be a very pru dent and industrious, and withal, wise man : for Richard never learned anything he didn't know how to make use of, and his wisdom and prudence had become a proverb. So, when he took out his sav ings and bought the notes, more than one was surprised, and it was no wonder rich Mr. Smith asked why. So Poor Rich ard, in a very quiet humble way for he never assumed anything replied, "1 snnnnse. Mr. Smith, vou know a crreat II ' f 7 deal better than I do what to do with mnncv. and how to invest: lor 1 never had much, and all I got I had to work hard for. Dut I have looked round a food deal unon mv neighbors, and seen what they did with their money aud will tell you some things I saw and what I thought ot it. One very rich man was always dealing in money, and he made a great deal, but was never satisuea wiin out hiah interest. So he lent most of his money to some people who he thought were very rich, at a very lngn rate; ana lo nfton tnhl how much he not, till one dav the people he lent to went to smash. lie irot back about ten cents on a dollar of his money. 1 knew another oiu gei tleman, who had some bank stock and he went to the bank and got ten per cent dividend. The President and everybody said it was the best stock in the country paid ten per cent. But what did the old man do but sell his stock the next dnv! WhvV whv? said everybody. Be cause, it nays too much dividend. And in six months the bank wcut to smash. Now, that I know to be a fact. Well, Mr. Smith, you say railroad stocks are best, because they pay high dividends: Can you tell how long they will pay them''' I like railroads. I nelped to build one, and I go in for useful things Rut I tell you what I lenow about them One-third of the railroads don't pay any dividend, and two thirds, (and some of them cracked up. too.) do uot pay as much as Government stocks. iNTow that brings me to the Government securities, and I will tell you why I prefer them. I take it you will admit, Mr. Smith, that in the long run the investment which is best should have these qualities: First, it should be perfectly secure: secondly, that the iucomc should be uniform and permanent not up one year and down the next: and thirdly, that it should be mar7cetable, so when your wet day comes, and you waut your money, you can get it back. And 1 think these notes or bonus have cot these qualities more than any other kind of personal property you can name. Try it. "First, then, I have been looking into that great bonk you call the Census Stat istics. I used to think it wasn t worth much; but since! began to study it, I tell you, I found out a good many things very useful for nie to know. 1 lound out, by looking at the crops, and the fac tories and shipping, &c, that we (I don't mean the Rebel btatesj arc making a thousand millions of dollars a year more than we spend. So you sec that (since the increase of debt isn't half that) we are growing rich instead of poorer, as John Bull and the croakers would have us think. Then the debt will be paid, anyhow, no matter how long the war is. Besides, did you ever hear of a Govern ment that broke before the people did? Look into your big histories, Mr. Smith, and you will find the people brake before the Governments. Well, thcu, I call that stock perf ccthj secure. "Secondly, you want the income uni form and permanent. Well, I want you to tako up a list of banks, railroads, mines, insurance companies anything you choose and tell me (honor bright, now!) how many have paid a uniform in come for ten or twenty years. JNot one in a hundred, Mr. Smith, and you know it. "Now here is the Government will pay you without varying a tittle. Now I like something that gives me my income eve ry year. "Thirdly, you want somothing which is marketable any day in the year. Now, ifyou wjll. ask any bank President,, he will tell you that Government stoclcs are the only kind of property that is always salable, because they will sell anywhere in the world. "Now, Mr. Smith, this is why I put my little savings in Government stocks. I confess, too, that I wanted to help that dear old country, which ism home and my country." "I confess," said Mr. Smith, "I hadn't thought of all this. There is a good deal of sense in what you say, and I will go so far as to put two or three thousand dollars ia United States stocks. It can do no harm." We left Mr. Smith going towards the bank, and Poor Richard, returning home, with calm, and placid air which indicated the serenity of his dispotism and the con sciousness ot doing right towards his country and his fellow man.

To .the People of the Unite'd ' States. , Treasury Department, ) July 25, 1864. J Byvan act of Congress; approved June 30, 1864, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to issue an amount not ex-, ceeding two hundred millions of dollars in Treasury notes, bearing intorest at a rate not exceeding seven and three-tenths per centum, redeemable after three years from date, and to exchange the same for lawful money. The Secretary is further authorized to convert the same into bonds, bearing interest at ft fate not ex ceeding six per centum, payable in coin In pursuance of the authority thus con ferred, I now offer to the people of the United States Treasury notes as described in my advertisement dated July 25, 1864. The circumstances under -which this loan is asked for, and your aid invoked, though differing widely from the existing state of affairs three years ago, are such as to afford equal encouragement and se curity. Time, while proving that the struggle for national unity was to exceed in duration and severity our worst antici pations, has tested the national strength, and developed the national resources, to an extent alike unexpected and remarka ble, excitiug equal astonishment at home and abroad. Three years of war have burdened you with a debt which, but three years since, would have seemed be- .... -T - vond vour abilitv to meet. Jcet tne ac- j j , cumulated wealth and productive .ener gies of the nation have proved to be so vast that it has been borne with compara tive ease, and a peaceful future would hardly feel its weight. As a price paid for national existence, and the preserva tion of free institutions, it docs not de serve a moment's consideration. Thus far the war has been supported and carried on, as it only could have been, by a people resolved at whatever cost of blood anil treasure, to transmit, unimpared, to posterity, the system of free government bequeathed to them by the great men who framed it. This de liberate and patriotic resolve has devel oped a power surprising even to them selves. It has shown that in less than, a century a nation has arisen, unsurpassed in vigor, aud exhaustless in resources, able to conduct through a scries of years, war on its most gigantic scale, aud fiud ing itself, when near its close, almost un- iuiDaired in all the material elements of power. It has, at the present moment, great armies in the field, facing an enemy apparently approaching a period of utter exhaustion, but still struggling with a force the greater and more desperate as it sees, and because it sees, the rear ap proach of a fiual and fatal consummation. Such, in my deliberate judgment, is the present condition ol the great coutest for civil liberty in which you are now en gaged. Up to the present moment you have readily and cheerfully afforded the means necessary to support your Government in this protracted struggle. It is your war. You proclaimed it, and you have sus tained it against traitors everywhere, with a patriotic devotion uusurpassed in the world's history. The securities offered arc such as should command your ready confidence. Much effort has been made to shake pub lic faith in our national credit, both at home and abroad. As yet we have asked no foreign aid. Calm aud self-reliant, our own means have thus far proved ad equate to our wants. They are yet am ple to meet those of the present and the future. It still remains for a patriotic people to furnish the needful supply. The brave men who are fighting our bat tles by land and sea must be fed and clothed, munitions of war of all "kinds must be furnished, or the war must end in defeat and uisgracc. This is not the time for any lover of his country to in quire as to the state of the money mark et, or ask whether he can so invest his surplus capital as to yield him a larger return. No return, aud no profit, can be desirable, if followed by national dissolu tion, or national disgrace. Present prof it, thus acquired, is but the precursor of future and speedy destruction. No in vestment can be so surely profitable as that which tends to insure the national existence. I am encouraged in the belief that by the recent legislation of Congress our fi nances may soon be placed upon a sound er and more stable footing. The present deranged condition of the currency is im putable, in a great degree, to disturbances arising from the withdrawal of necessary checks, often inevitable in time ot war, when expenditures must largely exceed any possible supply of coin. The oppor tunities thus presented to acquire sudden wealth have led to vicious speculation, a consequent increase in prices, and vio lent fluctuation. The remedy is to be found only in controlling the necessity which begets the evil. Hitherto we have felt the need of more extensive and vig orous taxatiou. Severe comment has been made upon what seemed to many on undue timidity and tardiness of action, on the part of Congress, in this regard. I deem it but just to say that every great misapprehension has existed, and perhaps still exists, upon this point. Legislators, like all others, mave much to learn in a new condition of affairs. An entirely new system was to be devised, and that system must necessarily be the growth of time and experience. It is not strange that first efforts should have proved im perfect and inadequate. To lay heavy burdons on a great and patriotic people in such a manner as to be equal, and as to occasion the least amount of suffering or annoyance, requires time and caution, and vast labor; and, with all these, expe rience is needful to test the value of the system, and correct its errors. Such has been the, work which Congress was called upon to pertorm. 1 am happy to say that daily results are proving the Inter nal Revenue Act to exceed in efficiency the most sanguine expectations of its au thors. In the month of Juno, 1863, it yielded about four and one-half millions of dollars, while the corresponding month of this year returned about fifteen mil lions, under the eame law. Under the new- law, which.' went into operation""" on the first day of the montn, tne ireusury not unfrequently receives one million in a day. As time and experience enable il. . n 1 1 5 llnn(!nn VlQ tne owcura uinpioyeu an toi;cuwug revenue to enforce the stringent provi sions of the new law, I trust that a mil lion per day will be found the rule and not the exception. Still, much space is undoubtedly left for improvement in the law. and its administration, as a greater amount of necessary information is ac quired. The proper sources ot revenue, nnd the most effective modes of obtaining it, are best developed in the execution of existing law. And 1 nave caused meas ures to be iniated which will, it is be lieved, enable Congress' so to improve and enlarge the system as, when taken in connection with the revenue from cus toms, and other sources, to afford an am ide and secure basis for the national cred it. Only on such a basis, and in a steady and vigorous restraint upon cur rency, can a remedy be found for exer cised when the Government is furnished with means to provide for its necessities. But without the aid of a patriotic people, any Government is powerless, for this or any other desirable end. The denominations of the notes pro posed to be issued, ranging from fifty to five thousand dollars, place these securi ties within the reach of all who arc dis- nnsfid to aid their couutrv. ' For their f redemption the faith 'aud honor and prop ertv of that country arc -solemnly pledged A successful issue to this contest, now believed to be near at hand, will largely enhance their valuo to the holder; and peace once restored, all burdens can be lightly borne. lie, who selfishly with holds his aid in the hope of turning his available means to greater immediate profit, is speculating upon his country's misfortunes, and may find that what seems to be present gain leads only to lu ture loss. I appeal, therefore, with con fidence to a loyal and patriotic people, and invoke the efforts of all who love their country, and desire for it a glorious future, to aid their Uovcrnment m sus taining its credit, and placing that credit upon a stable foundation.

A special dispatch to the Bulletin says: "Washington, August ZD "Information received here from Hall town as late as yesterday, s'tates that 'the advance' has been sounded, aud auother battle in the Valley is expected and pre dieted." Sherridan Advancing The Rebek in Re treat Skirmishing. Baltimore, August 29. The following is a special to the Amer ican : Ileadquartcr's Middle Military Division In the Field, August 29. J The long-looked for aud anxiously ex pected advance of our troops has at last commenced. Yesterday morning, at 4 o'clock, our cavalry started out, and com menced driving the enemy's rear guard. At 5 o'clock the infantry broke camp,aud at 7 they had taken position in line of march, which was in three parallel col umns. We had not proceeded far when we became satisfied that the main force of the enemy had retired from our immedi ate front and had retreated to some posi tion up the valley, either with a view ol drawing Sherridan away from his strong ly entrenched position near Halltown, (which they well knew it would be mad ness for them to attempt to carry by a di rect assault) or they have retreated with an intention of reiuforcing Lee at Rich mond, as there can be no doubt that he (Lee) requires all of the troops he can gather together at that point to resist Grant's further advice. The reconnoisancc, which was made in front of Gen. Crook's lines on the left of our position last Saturday, developed the fact that the main forco of the enemy had left our immediate frout; but in what di rection they had moved, we had no relia ble information, and even at the time of writing this dispatch, the whereabouts of Early's main force is a mere matter of speculation. Movements, however, are at present on foot, which will throw some light on the subject, and before many hours I hope to be able to record a fur ther advance of our troops Our cavalry had some heavy skirmish ing yesterday in the vicinity of Charles town with a portion of tho enemy's rear guard . Two officers of the 1st U. S.. Cav alry were killed, one of whom was Lieut. Barnard. We captured somo 20 prison ers who state that the main force of the enemy moved off three days ago, and went in tho direction of Martiusburg. The statements of these prisoners have to. be taken with a great deal of caution ; for it frequently happens that they havo these stories previously prepared for them by their officers, and then allow them selves to be captured in order that they may mislead our Generals.

Moore, chief quartermaster of that place, and Lieutenant Van Winkle, of General Hatch's statt. The Fulton left Hilton Head on the 26th inst., at 4 P. M. They report the Crescent City (convoyed by gunboat Ad miral), with six hundred rebel officers, to be placed under nre at unaneston, had arrived. The steamer Crescent City, when off Cape Romano, was run in shore, and one rebel officer ia reported to baTe escaped. The captain and second mate of the Crescent City are implicated in the attempt to liberate the six Hundfet rebel officers, and when the Fultau left Hilton Head were being tried for their lives be fore a court-martial.

An Unsuccessful Expedition into Flori da Bombardment of Charleston Con tinued. rri New York, Aug. 29, 1864. The steamer Fulton has arrived from Port Royal, but her news is partially an ticipated. An expedition consisting of the 75th Ohio, Companies B and D, the Mass achusetts Cavalry, and one piece of artil lery form the od Rhode Island Battery, all commanded by Colonel Harris,, of tho 75th Ohio, started from Magnolia, Flori ida, to make a raid. The column reached Staut without fighting, and there dt stroyed a railroad train and captured a large quantity of merchandise and sup plies. They then proceeded to Gaines ville, and while there were surprised by 000 of Dickinson's rebel force. A fight ensued, resulting in the capture of 100 of our men and the piece of artillery, and the recapture of the property. Affairs at Morris Island arc unchanged.
