tiipbt, however, t!iy (the Hebels) calculated
wide of their mark ; some of the New Ymk

then there was a likelihood of a llbel sheep

were out they saw ubout a dozen of the
Hebel cavalry and would have bad a bout
with them, had it not been for ah unlucky
circumstance one of the men caught the
hammer of his rifle iu the strnp of his knap,

There was quite an excitement here yes

all expecting a Qght. A fter supplying the
regiments with ammunition the arms were
stacked and the men were ordered to hold
themselves in readiness, as an attack was
momentarily expected. At night the men
were ordered to Bleep on their aroiB and have
their ammunition buckled around them ready
for action. Coffee was mado end provisions
rooked for any emergency, but the enemy
kept out of danger and we were not molested,

FROM MISSOURI.
St. Louis October 12.
General Cameron, Secretory of War, and
Adjutant Generol Thomas go to day, by-
special train, to the head quarters at Nassau,
to the beld near Tipton, to see M.ijor liene
ral Fremont in person. They will be accom

Corwine, Assistant Ailjutaut Ueueral Mc
Koever, B. Rush Plumley, Major and Aid
end Mr. Williamson, of the New York
Tribune.
A lurge delegation, presenting the German
Citizens and soldiers, and many of the native
population, called on Mr. Cameron last
evening and presented an address, urging the
Government and himself to sustain General
Fremont, as the.only hope of saving Missouri
aod the national cause in the West.

sion. NEWS FROM MATTER AS.
FORTRKSS MoNROK, Oct. 11
The S. It. Spaolding arrived this morning
from Matteras Jnlet, bringing no additional
news from that place of interest. It is cer
tain that the achievements or the Monlicello
haje disl.eartened the Rebels, and it is not
likely tbey will try their band with our boys
again very eoi n. Two hundred shells ere by,
no means a pleasaot relish to men who think
they are to do "a big thing on Yankees."
The Rebels have lost over two hundred oieo,
and a General (liarstow), besides several
transports. Lieutenant Braine, U. S. N.,
of the Monlicello, showed bis skill, as be
nl ways does, in throwing shells with such
accuracy. The precision with which tbey
were thrown was truly wonderful ; one of
them burst in a boat contuining about sixty
killed and wounded Rebel soldiers, and of
course the effect was terrible.
Waiiiinotoj, October 13.
A large field glass, which cost the Govern
ment one thousand dollars, and which would
enable a man to be recognized at five miles,
blew off of tbe top of Upton's house this
inoroing in a gale, and was entirely destroyed.
Professor Lowe had a balloon inflated and
towed to Lewintville this morning. About
daylight, however, a whirlwind came op and
tweuty live men could not bold it down, when
it escaped and went off towards Baltimore.
It may land in New Jersey or in tbe Atlantic
ocean. Professor Lowe will have four more
ready in a few days.
General McCall sent out a party this
morning and arrested Mrs. Jackson, mother '
or hllBttorlb s- murderer, and her half-brother,
no mid Moore. Her boose was situated
within the Rebel lines, and was used as a
head-quarters for their scouts. It is believed
tl..i - !. r . , - t
iuv uiucu luiurmauoo ens ooeo turmsned i
tbem from this source. She said there had
been some thirty there, aod she gavo them a
cap of tea. She or Moore would not give'
any satisfaction to tbe men sent by General
MeCall, and were accordingly hauddd over to
tbe Prjvost Guard here.
It is estimated that the Rebels have
sequestered property cf Uuion men in Vir
ginia to the amount ci'over thirty mi'.iions of
dollars. There is several million dollars
worth of property in this city belonging to
notorious Re be I b, which should receive atten
tion at the bands or our Government.
The Post Office Department has already
issued fifty-five millions of the new stamps.
As many more will be required to supply tb
demands for tbem now on 11 lu.
A Dumber of gentlemen are here from
different parts of the cooutry, seeking con
tracts to furnish the Government with horses
and mules. An oQicial notice has been given
that no more are wanted, as the stables are
all full, and the Governmeot has already on
band some eight or ten thousand bead more
than is Deeded at present.
The decuioo of the pending question in
reference to tba Department of tbe West is
still unsettled. It will not, probably, be
determined ootil tbe return of tba Secretary
or War aod Adjutant Ueueral from St,
Louis. t

C3T Our paper of last week went to press,
by some oversight, without correction or

This was more particularly the case in regard
to lb? returns, which we will re-publish'afler

intended to be in onr last.

of this place, who was one of tbe returned
volunteers of the Sunbury Company, is en.
gaged in raising a cavalry company, to be
attached to Col. Wynkoop's regiment. We
ebonld be pleased to see Mr. Brisben suc
cessful, and trust his industry and perseve
rance will not go unrewarded.
CiT Our neighbors of tbo bogus Democrat
and their friends rejoice at the result of the
late election, as if it was a great victory
instead of a very narrow escape from defeat,
Their boasted majority of 1000 was reduced
to aboot 100. Judge Jordao's vote is not
to be considered in this view, as he received
the votes of many Union Democrats and
Republicans, independent of party conside
rations. '
CJ"Ve have been asked by some if we
were not greatly disappointed in the result of
the late election. We answered that such an
event was not unexpected. The masses, wbo
do not always understand the true issue, are
apt to attribute to whatever odministration
may be in power, all the good or evil the
people may suffer. Tbe opponents of the
Union ticket did not hesitate to use all means,
fair aod unfair, to pervert tho truth and keep
the true issue from the people. They were
told that the success of the Union ticket
would Dot only increase their taxes, but
prolong tbe war, just tbe contrary of tbe
truth.
C3T The reported loss of the U. S. ship
Preble, and defeat of our fleet off New
Orleans, is not credited. The report crimes
through the rebel papers, and is not reliable

Mr. Buyer's company is to be called the

ftSTDER'S BARS-TUB MYSTERY SOLVED.
Wt are rejoiced to learn that the perpe
trator of the incendiarism of Snyder's barn,
near Selinfgrove, out ofwhich the Selinsgrove
Timet and the Northumberland County Dew
ocrnt labored to make political capital, has
been discovered. The Selinsgrove Timt
of the 4th Inst., thus rufered to the burning
of the barn tKe second time :
Harm Burnkd Aoaik. We are under the
poinfu I necessity or again announcing the
outrageous fact that George A. Snyder's new
barn was burned down on Thursday evening
of this week. Last spring soon after the war
broke out and the mob spirit became rife in
this place, Mr. Snyder's barn was burned
down ; subsequently bis bouse was set on fire :
after that bis bog stable was set on fire ; and
now his brand new barn, with all its contents
of bay, grain, etc., was again burned to the
ground. It was covered with $2000 actual
insurance, we believe, but this can never
repay all his loss, even aside of all the labor
and trouble bad all summer in putting op
this barn. These, fellow citizens, ere the
fruits of political niobism.
Some days after this, a bed Ic one of the
rooms of M r. Snyder's hnuso was discovered !
on fire aud consumed. Mr. Suydt-r, who had
accused some of bis neighbors politically
opposed to him, but men of excellent charac
ter, began to open bis drowsy eyes, and
charged the act upon a servant girl, of
doubtful character, in his own household
She Confessed to the crime of all the different
burnings and attempts to burn
At first Bbe
said she was threatened and persuaded to do I
so by a negro, aud made somo other nbsurd .'
excuses, but finally confessed, on her way to
prison, that she did so entirely of her own
accord, aod without any provocation.
How Ibis dennuement will affect our neigh
bor Purdy, of the Democrat, we cunuot say.
Had it occurred bufote the election, half of
his political capital would have vanished, and I
iucendiarism would have been Inst to tbe
world. We trust that our neighbor will now
relieve as from the accusation of encouraging
incendiarism aod the implied charge of having
something to do with Soyder's barn. His
friends should see to this, Dot so much on onr
accouut as his own. This strange hallucina
tion had takm such a deep bold on bis mind
that his imagination was hauuled day and
night with imaginary conflagrations, of burns,
hog pens, and other' outbuildings, in flames.
Hence, almost every article in bis paper
i-eneoioH H.io mnrl.i.l iomni.r.muni f Hie.

incendiary's torch was ever oppcrmostln bis
thoughts, aud followed birn like a phantom
tbtoogh all the conjurations of bis brain.
We trust tbe above facts, which dispelled
his illusion, were not too suddenly revealed,
lest such a sudden step from the sublime to
tbe ridiculous, might be attended with serious
consequences. His meuds, especially those
skilled in medical knowledge, should recom
mend gentle opiates for the present, and a
bottle of aromatic spirits of hurtsborne con
staDtly to be kept beside tbe itikstuiid, so
that hereafter, when sucb words as Snyder,
fire, barn, hog pen, incendiary, ic, occurred,
the puogent ammonia could be administered
without dtlay.
C35" Tbe Selinsgrove Timet thus announces
the result of the election iu this county :
"Good. In Northumberland county the
"entire Breckinridge ticket bus been trium
"phanlly elected."
Some of our sensitive friends found fault
with os for calling their ticket the Breckin.
ridge ticket, and yet the papers of their party
claim it as sucb. In designating it thus we
do not mean to say tbe candidates were all
Breckinridge men, for several, we know, were
Dot, bat what we mean to suy is, that their
county ticket was got up by a few Breckin
ridge men, with tbe aid of a few Douglas
Democrats to give it character and some
appearaoce of Democracy. This is Dot true
Democracy, sod will out be tolerated by those
who can see through the devices of scheming
politicians.
t3F Germans in tiiic Army. Theru are no
more true patriots in the world than tbe Ger.
mans. Iu this country or io Kurope they aro
always ready to battle for freedom. A Ger
sooo adapts himself to tbe customs and insti
tutions of this country with an ardor anil pa
triotism as fervid and strong as if be was "to
the manor born." Tbe following is given as
a very nearly correct statement of the number
of Germans in tbe United States army from
the different sections of tbe country :
New Koglaud, 200; New York, 12.000!
Now Jersey, 2.0(10 ; Pennsylvania, 10 000 ;
Ohio, 5.000; Indiana, 4.0UU ; Illinois, 6.00U ;
Missouri. 1 3.' 00 ; Minnesota, 1)00 ; Wisconsin,
2,000 ; Michigan, 1.C00: Iowa, 700; Kansas,
California and Oregon, 2,000 ; Western Yir
iuia, 1 .000 ; Maryland and District of Colum
bia. f00 ; Kentucky, 500 ; Delcware, 100:
total,- 5S.0OO.
Wish once boasted to a friend that the
military qualities of Yirgiuiaus wete so extra
ordinary that with 5,000 men he could march
North and South through Ohio, aud then
Kast and West through the neighboring
States! When it came to the trial, hn was
found dodging from pillar to post, afraid to
fuce enemies whom he outnumbered. And
now, tbe tews reaches us tbat he will probaby
be court-msrtiuled by tbat very government
which his inflence io bis native State did so
much to fasten on its wretched people.

article on the war policy as connected with

who think that slavery In the rebel States
should be abolished, if sncb a course be
deemed necessary to save the Union. 8ocb
Is the opinion of Gen. Cass aud other die
tinguished statesmen :
"Those who think with tis do Dot ask flie
Government to torn aside from Its great
paramount duty of preserving and maintaining
tbe Union In order to abolish Slavery, and we
insist that it shall not do so iu order to pro
tect and uphold Sluvery. Let the Rebels
be again proffered a general amnesty if they
will lay down their arms and defer to the
laws, which are os much theirs as ours ; let
them be proffered peace on the eimpfo and
sufficient basis of mntual deference and obe
dience to the Constitution ; but let them at
the same time be distinctly notified that,
should they persist in their rebellion beyond
a day specified, they shall then and thence

to he held at Haynaville on the lat of October.
This I ahould gladly except, proceeding aa it does
Irom a much valued portion of my old emigres
a or al district, but advancing years and the pretent
elate nf my health render it impomible.
You correctly estimate the deep interest which
I feel, in common with the citizens who will
there be amended, in the condition of out cauntry.
This is endeed serious; but our recent military
reverses,
ao far from producing despiimlenry in
tbe niiiiila of a l.iyal and powerful iieoi'le, will
only antimate them to more mighty exertions in
sustaining a war which has become Inevitable,
by the assault of the Confederate Stairs upon Fort
oum.er,
For this reason, were it pnsiMe f, me to address
you, waiving all other topics, I should confine my
self to a solemn and earnest a lineal to mv coun
try men, and especially thiwe without families, to
volunteer for the war, and join the many thouoaiiils
of brave and patriotic vulunleera who are already
in the lield
This is the moment for action; for prompt, ener
getic, and united action ; and not fer the discus
sion of peace propnaition. Theje we must know,
would be rejected bv the State that have seceded,
unless we should oner to reensnire their tndrpen
denre, which ia out of the question.
Uetter councils may hereafter prevail, when
these people snail ne convinced that the war is
conducted, not for their conquest nr subjogali in.
but solely for the purpose of bringing them bck
to their original portion in the Union, without
impairing in the aliuhtert decree any of their con
stitutional rights.
Whilut, therefore, we shall cordially hail their
return under our common and glorious flag, and
welcome them as brothers, yet until thnt happy
dav shall arrive, it w ill he our duty (o support the
1'rcaidrnt with all the men and means at the com
mand of the country, in a vigorous and successful
prosecution of the war. Yours, very rrsperllully,
Jaxi: Ui-chanah.

a mountaineer of Eastern Kentucky ; bnt we

Tint Wokiikrs of tiir M iCRosroi'E. We
understand it is through tlm agency of this
marvel viewing machine that Ir. Ayer has at
leugth succeeded io finding the pam-pai. mi
asm and determining its character. Of its ef
fects we io Ibis section have abundant evidence
io the Fkvkb. and Ant'K which it alone prndu
ces when absorbed through tbe lungs into the
blood. It has long been held to be vapor
or something in the vapor or water from de
cayed and decaying vegetation. Under a
great magnifying power, the Doctor has found
this vapor to contain distinct organizations nr
living bodies, corresponding exactly with
those found in the blood of Agu3 subjects.- -Tbey
are 13.000 times less than visible to the
naked eye, but have distioct character and
form. He thinks -they are reproductive in
decaying matter or In the blood, end hence
their long continued life or the remote effects
of them to tbe system. He maintains that
they resemble in character the other fermen
tative poisons, or such as the virus or rabies
of a dead body, ic, all of which are known to
reproduce themselves with great rapidity like
yeast in moistened flour, so tbat the slightest
quantity impregnates tbe whole mass. Yeast
through powerful magnifier is seen to be a
forest of vegetation wliicb grows, blossoms,
and goes to seed in a short time. Miasm is
not so distinctly vegetable, but bas more of tbe
appearance of animal life, although it motions
cannot be perfectly distinguished. What the
Doctor claims to have settled is that it is an
organic substance, and he bas further found
aud embodied in bis "Ague Cure" what will
destroy it. Leader, St. Louis, Mo.
