It It perhaps not improper to far, that no printing office in thi section, has suffered as much from the effect of tho war, or contri buted more to its support than our own, and that, too, without any reward or a dollar of pecuniary or other aid from any source. The Shamokin Company returned this (Friday) morning, and in tin-same train some nf our hands. None but bis mouths men are wanted. tnETJIoUNisa Mail. Our business men will be glud to learn that a daily mail from Philadelphia is now received here every morning at 6 o'clock in addition to the af ternoon mail. Letters that leave Philadel phia at 101 o'clock at night, can now be answered by the 10 o'clock mail cast, thus saving 24 hours delay. Letters for- Phila delphia can also bo mailed in tho evening for the 11 o'clock train east, and arrive there next morning at 7 o'clock, and give corres pondents there nearly a whole day to reply by the night train, which arrives here the next morning. These changes add to the labors of the Post Master, but are of great importance to a rapidly increasing business community. In connection with this ar rangement, Mr. Walborn, the Postmaster at Philadelphia, was endeavoring to supply our Shamokin friends similar facilities. 55fTho Democratic Convention at Har risburg, on Wednesday evening, nominated Judge Woodward of the Supreme Court, for Governor. The last ballot stood : Woodward, ... 73 Clymor, .... 53 Strickland, .... 7 Bill Witte, it seems was withdrawn. The signs of the times were ominous, and it was doemed rather hazardous to nominate a mere political charlatan. Iliester Clymcr's friends seem to have stuck to him pretty faithfully. But Hicster can afford to wait. Ho is a clever fellow and comes from an old and respectable federal family. His demo cracy had, however, become so intensified of late, that it degenerated into copperhead' ism. Both he and Witto have been pros trated by its poisonous effects. Judgo Wood ward, the nominee is a man of ability and excellent private character. Ilis faults arc strong and stubborn prejudices, and intole rant political bigotry. He was undoubtedly the best man before the Convention. The Union party will most probably unite on Governor Curtin whose unquestioned talents and active and untiring efforts in behalf of the soldiers and in tho suppression of tho rebellion, has made him highly popular with all classes. W. W. Eetcbam, ot Lu rernc, is also a prominent candidate. Judge Lowric, has been nomiuatud for re-election as Judge of the Supreme Court a good selection. THE SITUATION. The rebels evacuated Chambersburg about two o'clock Wednesday afternoon, after plundering the citizens and business men of everything they wanted. They fired the several warehouses, but the citizens extin guished the flames. A large force of infan try arrived at Hagerstown the Bame day Another body of rebels wcro moving to wards Cumberland, and were encountered by Brig. Gen. Kelly some twelve miles south of that place, but the result of the encounter had not been received. Troops aro arriving in Harrisburg with evory train, enough to defeat any rebel force that may be sent there. The fortifications are nearly completed. The glorious North sent in her full share of brave soldiers Wed nesday evoning.. The counties of Northum berland, Luzerne, Union, Snyder, Lycoming and others in the vicinity poured in some two thousabd soldiers. Many of whom have seen service before. A full regiment arrived from the counties of Berks, Montgomery and others along the line of the Lebauon Valley Railroad.- The New York Seventh Regi ment, fully equipped and armed arrived du ring the night. These forces will probably be stationed near Chambersburg. ae 13JT Governor CritTiK. During the last session of the Legislature Governor Curtin announced he would decline being a candidate for re-election, but it appears that some of hi3 friends insist npon bis nomina tion. The Germantown TeUfmph, a paper independent in politics, pari him the follow ing merited compliment : "We have had occasion several times, since the rebellion broke out, to refer to the Chief Executive of the Commonwealth in terms of commendation. We have said that it was fortunate the State had to preside over ber destinies in this momentous crisis of tho Nation, a man of so much patriotism, nerve, energy and endurance ; and we re gretted ducply when the aunounremeut was officially made, two or three months ago, tliat he would not suffer his name to he used for nomination.

I ask, what is this common cause that has drawn us together I Just here give me your special attention. I ask again, what is this common cause ? Is it to save tho Constitu tion t Oh I it is inexpressibly more than that. There arc many good, patriotic men who don't wish the Constitution saved as it is ; they wish to have it altered. I, for one, would not have one worn ot K altereu ; 1 have pleaded for it with lips and pen more than any Democrat living or dead. I would not have one woru in it altered. Well, if this common cause is not to save the Constitution, is it to save the Union ? Oh I no I unspeakably moro than that. There are good men and wise men, who do not like all the terms of our Union ; I like them all. I have never taken in my life, with lips or pen, the slightest exception to any 01 mem ; ami prouaoiy never sunn. Well, is it then the saving of the country that is this common cause ? It is not even that, for there are many good men who do not like the present boundaries of our conn- try. They wish it to be made smaller. For my own part, every rod of it is dear to my heart. I would not have one star pass from the national flag. Not even poor South Carolina. I love her for the memory of her noble men who stood l)v the side ol our rcvolu tionarv fathers. 1 love her for another reason ; 1 lovo her tor what she will become again when she shall have come out of her present degeneracy and madness. Well, now, it tins common cause wliicli lias drawn us together is not tho saving of the Consti tution, nor the saving of the Union nor the saving of the country, pray what then is it ? My answer will be and it will leap up from your hearts to your lips it is the putting down of the accursed and causeless rebellion, we will stand together at this point, where nil good and just and patriotic men can and do stand with us. And that is tho verv point where unpntriotic and selfish men re fuse to stand with us. Tho putting down of this rebellion must be done, conic what will to Constitution, and Union, and even country. I hold that our duty to justice, in putting down this rebellion, is infinitely more commanding and absolute than any duty we owe to the Con stitution or the Union, or even tho bounda ries of our country. I claim that we arc to go for putting down the rebellion uncondi tionally. Can you go that t You are not to Bay, we will consent to put down the re bellion on condition of saving the Constitu tion, the saving of the Union, or the saving of the country ; you are to say we go for putting down the rebellion unconditionally, and that is just where these traitorous ene mies will not go along with us. What I some one question ine, Would you go for putting down this rebellion with all the possible risks that the Union, the Con stitution, and the country might go down with it ? I answer, I would. I answer, I make no calculation at all at that point. My only duty has been, from tha first, the putting down of this rebellion. And hence, some old Abolitionist, perhaps, would ask, Do you go for putting down this rebellion at all possiblo hazards, that slavery may sur vive and be stronger than ever ? I would. I run that risk. I havo no conditions to mako in behalf of any of my hobbies, and have not had since the day the news reached me at reterboro1 of the bombardment of Sumter. And now let me here say, that in my philosophy, the putting down "of crime cannot briug auy harm to any good, cannot bring any help to any evil. Ilence the put ting down of this rebellion, which is the crime of crimes, cannot bring any possible harm to any good, in the Constitution, in the Union, or in tho Qountrv, or in Free dom none whatever, I call it tho crime of crimes. TrtE News. Tho President hns just is sued a proclamation calling for one hundred thousand men, faoin Maryland, Pennsyl vania, West Virginia, and Ohio, to prevent the invasion of the North by the rebels under Gen. Lee. Gov. Curtin accordingly calls for fifty thousand men, on the urgent necessity of protecting the frontier ot Penn sylvania, now, perhaps, more seriously in danger than ever. The Rebels have advanced iu large force on Martinsburg and Win chester. At the latter place, Gen. Milroy was contesting the advance, and holding out for reinforcements. The rebels reported to be under Lieutenant General Evvell, the successor of Jackson, are doubtless directing every energy upon their progress Northward as the best military policy of the South. Later, we havo a special despatch from Har ris burg bearing a report from Lieut. Palmer of the Pumcll Cavalry, which encountered the rebels at Greeneastle, and retreated bo fore superior numbers. The rebels aro ad vancing on Pennsylvania in three columns one on MercerMmrg, another on Chambers burg, and another on Gettysburg. General Milroy, completely surrounded at Winchester cut his way out, after a severe engagement, with the loss of two thousand, Mid joined the forces at Harper's Ferry, which are now awaiting nttack. The reln-ls are command ed by Ewell, Tremble, Evans, Rhodes, and Early. Troops aro being organized rapidly in all the great frontier States, and the draft is to go into immediate effect in New York. Various organizations are on their way to the valley of the Cumberland, aud tho whole population of the Btate have become alive to the iinmediata danger of invasion. Later, we learn that the rebels are iu Chambers' burg. The Richmond papers speak of the caval- ry lim in uipeppcr as one or the moat fiercely contested engagements of the war. Beyond doubt, the rebels have autl'ered most. Brigadier Pitzuugh Lee was severely wound ed, and General Wright, Col. Williams, and Colonel Hampton, were killed. Col. Butler had a leg shot off, and Col. riarman was khot through the neck. Uen. J. E. B. Stuart luiiiM.il must have made a narrow escape. Captain Karley, and Captain Jenkins, of the staff, were killed. General Ie modestly claims the battle as Stuart's victory. A gi-utlt utaii who visited Geueral Grant at bis headquarters, on the nth in.!., informs the Louisville "Journal" that the reinforce ments received by our army amount lo sitty iliouitaiid men of all arms. l'Mn their ar rival many of thetn bate been sent to guard all the approaches of the rvU-l Gen.

Juno 6 The follow inn opinion of Hun. Wni. Whiting, Solicitor of the War Department, has been ordered to b published by the secretary ol n ar : ormo. It ii made the duty of Provost Manuals "to obey all lawful orders and regulations or the Provost Mar shal General, and such ns chn.ll be prescribed by law concerning the enrollment and culling into ser vice ol' the Naiioual force." Act March 3d, 1S0J, section 7.) The 25th section of iheiame act provides "that If any person shall resist any driift of men enrolled under this act into service of the United States, or shall counsel or aid any person to resiet auy sueh drnft, or shall assault or obstruct any oflicer in mak ing such draft, or in the performance of any service in relation thereto, or sluill counsel any person to as sault or obstruct any such officer, or shall counsel any drafted man not to appear nt the place of rendezvous or wilfully dissuade thein from the performance of military tluly, as required by law. such portion shall bo subject tn summnry arrest by the Provost Marshal and shull he forthwith delivered to tho civil authori ties, and upon conviction thereof be punihed by a lino not exceeding live hundred dollars, or by impri connicnt not exceeding two years, or by both of Miid puniAhmeuts.M . To do any act which will prevent or inipeJe the enrollment f tho National forces (whii-li enrollment is preliminary nnd asctitinl to the draft), is to pre vent or impedo the draft itself. ine enrollment is a service 10 be pertormei ny ine Provost Marshal in relation to tho drnft. It is not tho act of drawing ballot out of a ballot box itself but it is "in nihil 1011 to it." antl is the nrst step tuai mustbvlnw be tuken preparatory to draft. It is, therefore-, clearly within tho duty of the l'rovost Murshnl to subject all persons who obstruct the en rollment, tho meoting of the lluiird. or any other proceeding which is preliminary and essential to the draft, the summary arrest, according to the provi sions of section 25. Thero aro many wnys of obstructing officers in the purformnnco of their "services or dutius in mnkiiiK or in relution lo tho draft," without employing phy sical force. The neglect of refusal to do an a?t re. quired hy law to be done, mny itself be sueh an -'ob-struction" as to subject tho olicnder to arrest. Suppose a pin-son to he found stuuding in a passage through which tho drafting officers were required to enter into a place designated by law us the place for draft, and suppose that his standing iu that ptaoo would prevent neccss by these otliccrs lo the place of draft. If they request him to move aw ay and he neglect or rcluse so to do. for the puriose of prevent ing the drnft, the non-performance of tho act of re moval would be itself an "obstruction of the draft, or of an officer in the performance of his duty in re lation to it." Standing nr, in civil Courts, Is. under certain circumstances, a puuithnblc ofieuse. and so, if a pt-r-on, with intent to prevent the draft, refuses to givo nis true name wnen law tuny requested so to ao by an officer whose legal duty is to ascertain and enroll it, it is an obstruction of that officer in the pcrlurin ance of one of hisdutii in relation to tlio draft.

From what can be ascertained from per sons arriving from the Rappahannock, a division went over the river at "Franklin's landing" last night, nnd the Rebel rifle-pits, foliage, &c, along the shore, have been de- utroycd. so that the enemy will not he able to annoy our proceedings from their coverts. Earthworks have been thrown up on tho front, with a view, it is probable, of pre venting a night attack, and shielding our men if tha enemy should open a cannonade. Fredericksburg is still held by the enemy, and no attempt hns been made by our troops to take it. The forces we have thrown over are not far from the town. The Rebels have not yet fired their guns upon us. Reports from'yotir special correspondents with the Army of the Potomac, under date of this morning, writo that nothing has oc curred to change the position of ntl'airs dnr tho last twenty-four hours, but that heavy firing was heard up the Rappahuuuock this morning. The enemy, to-day. was at work on in trenchments at the edge of the woods skirt ing the plain not far from Fredericksburg. There was somo picket firing this morning, but nothing ol greater importance in that quarter. If the Rebel Stuart has had any intention nf making up the Shenandoah, or towards Washington, lately, he must havo been non plussed this morning, when our cavalry crossed the Rappahannock, near Sulphur pnngs, and attacked Ins forces. Heavy skirmishing was goins; on, at last accounts, about noon, and the lUliels had been driven from several good position, ami forced to letreat towards Culpepper. ANOTIIlilt ACTOrST. A severe cngagniucnt took place mtirniug between our cavalry and thut of the Rebels untier ucn. Muart. llio locality at which it occurred was Bemly's Ford, on the Rap pahannock, five miles above Rappahannock Station, and about the same distance below the Sulphur Spring. At a late hour to-night, nothing further had been heard respecting the cavalry light. The explosion in Virgiuia probably broke the wire. It has Uen determined that while all pit sons coming within the provisions of tho act of enrollment for calling out the nation al force are to hi enrolled, nevertheless, under the ilrt enrollment, Hiumi who were in the military service at the time the act went int effect, namely, the Ud of March last, are not to be iucludod in that class are not to be railed out until thoe of the tlr.t class shall have U-rii exhausted.

The rebels occupied Hagerstown at noon to-day, From there they advanced in three columns: one on the main road to Chambersburg, nnd one to the right, and one to the left. Each column has 5,000 cavalry, besides infantry ami artillery. The centre column arrived at Chambers burg at tl o'clock to-night. A large fire was seen in the neighborhood of Greencastle, Governor Curtin and General Couch are working night and day. On the receipt of this news the Governor ordered the bells rung, and the people assembled en matue at the court house to devise means to defend the city. It is evident that something must be done immediately, or the State capital will be invaded. llAiiitisiiviui, June 13. The following is just received ; Lieutenant Palmer, of the Pnrnell Cavalry has just come in. He had to fight his way out two miles this side of Greencastle. The enemy is advancing in three columns ; one towards Waynesboro and Gcttsburg; one direct to Chambersburg. and one to wards Mercersburg nnd Cove Mountains. It is not known whether the rebels will proceed in separate columns or concentrate here. A large fire is now seen in the direction of Greencastle. Lieutenant Palmer reports tho column nt Greenrnstle about 5,000 strong, principally cavalry, supported by infantry hu1 artillery. Bai.timouk, June 15. Major General Milroy has made a gallant escape from Win chester, alter maintaining his position for a iung nine against great, otitis. After many hours' hard fighting he was completely surrounded, but with renewed desperation cut his way through, with a loss of 2,000 men. He has now joiued Tyler at Harper's Fer ry. This place is now strongly garrisoned anil fortilied, and A ill be able to hold out for reinforcements. The rebels are commanded by Lieutenant Genera: Ewell, of Stonewall Jackson's corps, and Major Generals Evans, Early, and Rhodes, and evidently constitute a large fraction of the Rappahannock army. Bai.timoiik, June 15. General Milroy was surprised ot Winchester, bv 18,000 rebels; but after a desper tc fight cut bis way through and uuited w ith our forces at Harper s Ferry. Our forces ot Martinsburg have also fallen back on Harper's Ferrv. Bai.TiMoni:, June 15. The stmrriazi't I special report from Harper's Kerry says that I General Milroy succeeded iu cutting his wav j through the rebel lines, nnd reached there i this morninsr, after evacuating Winchester. The fighting was very desperate, and we repulsed the rebels repeatedly with heavy lus, nut nnally tliey .were largely reinforced, and Milroy made his arrangements on Run day to abandon Winchester, finding that tne reiN-is were endeavoring to closely invest the place. He lost considerably some two thousand men, in killed, wounded, nnd prisoners. Military movements arc in progress to check the rebel movement in this direction which it would not be proper to partic ularize. Baltimore, June 15. The Baltimore American publishes the following intelli gence from an entirely reliablo sour.-e : An attack was made on Sunday morning on a small force of our men at Berryville, nine miles from Winchester, opposite Bnick er's Gap, under General McReynolds, of which the 1st Maryland Regiment formed a part. They fell buck before the superior num lers, and joined Milroy at Winchester, after a sharp engagement, of which the results are at present unknown. At the same time Winchester was attack ed in front from the south, by a force said to be under General Ewell, Jackson's suc cessor. The troops making the attack at Berry ville are said to be under Gen. Trimble. A third force after this encounter is said to have captured a small detachment of our men at Bunker Hill, and then moved on to Martinsburg. At 4 o'clock P. M. to day they demanded the surrender of Martinsburg, giving forty five minutes for the women and children to leave the town. General Tyler, commanding at Martins burg. refused to surrender, and an artillery fight ensued. At 7.15 to-night tho wires were broken lietwccn Harper's Ferry and Martinsburg. What occurred after that is not known. A battle was also in progress at Winches ter to-day. The results are unknowu at this hour. General Milroy repulsed Ewell on Satur day, and said he could hold out for rein forcements to reach him. No damage to the railroad as yet, and no cars or engines are exposed to'captnre, as all have lieen removed. No fewer than seveuty locomotives and twelve hundred cars were brought to Baltimore to-day.

Reports continue to be received that the Rebels are accumulating nt Culpepper. Their army is still divided between that point and Fredericksburg. No movement had been made by the Rebels toward crossing the Rappahannock ; but they continue in a threatening position. A deserter, who' had come in this morning, says that had we pressed them harder in the late cavalry fight, they would have fled in a perfect rout ; their loss being much heavier than ours, according to his account, and their loss in officers being particularly heavy. The Thirteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry nnd Kighty-seventh Pennsylvania Infantry, with one section of artillery, had a skirmish with some four hundred Rebel cavalry, yesterday afternoon, near Middletown, Va. The Thir teenth skirmished with the Rebels for a short time, and drew them into an ambus cade of the Kighty-seventh Infantry and the artillery. Kight of the Rebels were killed, a number wounded, and thirty-seven, includ ing a captain and two lieutenants, taken prisoners. There were no casualties on our side.

A Scotch physician, Dr. Smart, has announced an invention, which, he asserts, has never failed in his practice to prevent the disHgurcment consequent in small po known as "pitting." The application consists of solution of IndiH rubber in chloroform, which is painted ovor thu face ud neck In women when the eruption has become fully developed. When the chloroform has evavorated, w'hieh it readily does, there is left a thin elastic film of India-rubber over the face. This the patient feels to be rather comfortable than otherwise, inasmuch as tbe disagreeable Itchness, so Rent-rally complained of, is almost entirely removed, and, what it more important, "pitting" once o common, and even now far Iron rare, la thoroughly pre vented wbvrever the solution ba been applied. - , - . - Tor Ixrosie T: W hatn that the Income ta on last year's business of one of our foal operators wtllrewh fm (Aouom.

Item from Vickubargs A letlcr from before Vicksburg. 28th ultimo, ttf the Mitimri Democrat, furnishes tho following items : 'We bav made us a breastwork on th brow of a bill by digging in the lolid hill ; it makes a good shelter, and is three hundred yards from the cncmv'i works. We do som of tho nicest shooting that is done in the army have dismounted eight rebel guns, and our shotting is so accurate that they dare not mount a gun within a thousand yards of us. "Saturday there was an armistice of the two hours to bury the dead, and both armies came out, wituout arms, and many cam? together and had a long talk. I went up i within twenty yards of their works and shook hands with a rebel artillery captain and had along talk with him ; he said 'that rifled battery on the hill was too much for him ; it would not let him keep a gun within hnlf a mile of the works; that ho had to keep his enssions down in a hollow ; his guns all having been dismounted by our shot; that we had him caged; and so we have. "The rebel captain told ns that one of their brigades lct five hundred men in one day behind a stockade that is in front of us. "There is a notion in the minds of our generals that the rebels will break out some night, and the troops consequently sleep on their arms. We sleep around our guns whn we have a chnnce ; for the last two nights we have not slept anv. c sleep in the day time when the guns are cooling ; I have ueen writing while they arc cooling, and the captain lias called ali hands to guns." Interest in;; From Vit-khbiis'. The following extract from a private letter of a high naval officer neur Yicksburg contains some information of interest, it is dated June 3d : "Vicksburg still holds out, but it is very much like an old horse turned out to die, with the turkey buzzards flying over him. nnd with just strength enough leU to whisk his tail and brush oil' tlio flies that are blnriii(j him all over. . In that devoted city they are all looking anxiously for Joe John ston to come to their relief, but Joe got such a thrashing thut he cannot come to time. I was over the rifle pit yesterday on Sherman's front, within fifty yards 'of the enemy's works. There our men lie in groups waiting for a rebel to show his head, and the moment he does so, he is popped over. "By this time I judge they arc within twentv ards, for thev have sent for hand grenades, which arc being forwarded with ull hitFte. The firing this evening has been territic from our side. We hove u hundred guns playing on the city behind, and the mortars and gunboats keep up a constant roar in front. Wc receive no reply what ever to our shots ; the guns on the land si'le have all been silenced, ami those m ar tho water hove apparently been left to take care of themselves. The gunboats have their range so well that thev can drop their shells pretty much where they plersc. ''You remember Sevastopol. We thought the MalakotT the tlrril. AVell, there are twenty Malakofl's here, and such a country to operate in you never saw ; nothing but high hills and deep gullies and trees felled in every direction for miles to stop our progress. Yet our troops charged over this and chased the rebels into their works. I j do not think there ever was such splendid fighting as we have had here. lleserters conic in every minute. We have had thirty today who came, to the gunboats, nnd they give a sad account of affairs in Yicks burg. The last twenty-four hours the ration has been reduced to one quarter poutid of beef and a pound of meal. This they only get at night, as it is the only time thev can move about in safety. There are ten mor tars moored as close to tho city us they can safely go ; they keep the troops in their hiding holes or bomb proofs. "The guns are operating this morning. (June 3,) and this being a cool day, the rebels will get enough of it. The navy is getting up a battery of four eight inch guns in Sherman's frout and two nine inch guns on our enemy's left, and hope to be able lo work them to-morrow. "An intelligent contraband hnsjmt come in. He says it is perfect pandemonium in the town, between the mortar, gunboats and artillery. F.vcry one lives in a cave, which however, does not protect him from the mortars. Our interesting projectiles go tcrough twenty feet of earth."
