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

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. Pyle's opposite

BUCHANAN'S ADDRESS TO HIS MEN.
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

;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

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. I

Poor Richard's Reaswfcfor buying Uni
ted States Securities.
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.

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.
