.and several large bodies of cavalry.
The enemy were driven back at ev

fighting took place. iGeneral Stahl's
force visited Snickersville and Mid
tileburg, and went within a few miles
^Of Poies, and to near Leesburg, ma
'king in all a Tide of some eighty
miles in •twenV-four hours. They

points on the route. From eighty

paroled.sit Middleburg. From twen
ty to twenty-6ve were taken at oth

,paroled. One of Gon. Stahl's force

was also recaptured. Indications
a large camp were seen near :o'eose
Creek-toward the Potomeh, Which
bad probably been ocoup'ibd by the
cavalry that made the . Pennsylvania
raid. Scouts to-dv, bring informa
tion of the condentration of a large
force of' the enemy, estimated at ten
thonsand,l4 that neighborhood.
The Herald says : It was rumor
edin iffirnilhington yesterday, that a
lone of 50,000 of the rebels had con
tiertioted at Centreville, afact which
would seem to tally with our state
tiVelfts to the effect that the main body
Af Gen. Lee' L army were moving
southward, by ay of Thornton's Gap,
while the Manassas railroad was
open to them from Strasburg, further
North than Thornton's. No official
information of the presence of this
rebel force at Centreville, reached
the Government yesterday.
Washington dispatches from the
Times' special correspondent at Cen
treville, give an account of a recon
noissance made by Gen. Stahl, with a
cavalry force and a section of a bat
tau - , advancing as far as Paris in
one direction, and near Strikers' Gap
in another. The expedition traveled
sixty miles in twenty-three hours,
captured one hundred prisoners, had
several successful skirmishes with
the enemy, and returned to Centre
ville at two o'clock this morning.—
They visited Aldie and Middleburg,
and gained a large amount of useful
information. The whole region
inewersed is alive with armed rebels,
etad not a step can be taken without
,its being known nod nnnounced by
„si4aala The gallant conduct of Cap
tons Handley and Ayers of the 9th

A titconnoissance was also made by
Capt. Barnett with a small force of
the 6th Ohio Volunteers, to the
neighborhood of Warrenton and
Thoroughfare Gap. They saw no
enemy, but were tired upon by a
party'ooaccaled in the bashes on a

LOUISVILLE, 04t.14. 1 A m..—Gen.
Negley is reported to have had a recent
fight with guerrillas near Nashville,
in which he took three hundred
prisoners.
General Smith on Friday, took
two thousand wounded and fifteen
hundred well rebel prisoners, be
tween Harrodsburg and Danville.—
The Federal forces are in possession
of Harrodsburg and Danville. The
rebels are between Danville and
Camp Dick Robinson, proceeding
towards the Camp. Our troops are
in pursuit. All the accounts of an
engagement having taken place be
tween Perryville and Harrodsburg
on Saturday are false. The rumors
proceeded from our troops shelling
the woods as they pursued the reb
els—the reports of the cannon being
construed into a battle between the
two forces.
Important from Kentucky.
LOUISVILLE, October 15.—There
was skirmishing yesterday all along
the line from Harrodsburg to Stan
ford. The rebels are trying to get
out of the State. It is thought that
Bragg hurried outward because on
the day of the Perryville battle he
heard that Price and Van Dorn bad
been beaten at Corinth, and that he
could not get reinforcements from
that quarter.
Large numbers of rebel dead are
still lying unburied at Perryville. A
rebel detachment came to the field
under a flag of truce, saw their
dead, and left them without any at
tention. The guns the rebels took
from us, and which we recovered,
were spiked with telegraph wire,
which we easily removed.

but •slight resistance during the day
from the enemy's mounted pickets.
This morning he adianced his eav

from Bunker Hill, where he met the
cavalry belonging to Hancock's Di

the enemy were found to be in very
large force. The reconnoissance
here ended, its object being to ascer

Further of the Occupation of
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF POTOMAC,
Thursday evening, Oct. 16.—An im
portant reconnoissance was made to
day by a portion of the Army of
the Potomac in the direction of Win
chester. The division •of Gen. Han
cock,late Gen. Richardson's, left liar
per's Ferry at an early hour this
morning.
On the road to Charlestown, three
miles from Bolivar, they came upon
the enemy's outer pickets, which ro
tired as our troops advanced, until
within one and a half miles of Char
lestown, where they formed in line
of battle, with dismounted skirmish
em thrown to the front.
They :laving no infantry they
covered the approaches to Charles
town by two pieces of artillery on
the left, and upon the right of the
turnpike, with the view of disputing
our occupation of the town. A bat
tery was soon brought into position
with shell and solid shot, which was
promptly replied to by the five rebel
pieces already in position.
The engagement, which had been
carried 9n wholly 1)y artillery, lasted
two hours, when the rebels fell back
to the hill beyond the town. Our
loss was one man killed and eight
wounded. Capt. Smith, of the Rich
mond artillery, and eight men were
wounded and taken prisoners, which
is the only loss of the enemy known.
The troops under Gen. Hancock
entered Charlestown about 12 o'clock
and occupied it, the enemy leaving
on our bands over one hundred who
were wounded in the battle of An
tietam.
At four o'clock the infantry form
ed in line of battle on the right
left of the road leading to Bemis ,
Hill, when they advanced,
the enemy from the hills, and
dark occupying a position two mih
beyond the town.
Information ascertained to-da;
shows the main body of the reb/
army occupy a position extendir
from Bemker Hilt to the Shena
doah.
Gen. McClellan arrived at Cha:
lestown at two o'clock, where he ri
mained during the night. But ver
little Union feeling was shown by til
people of Charlestown upon its o
cupation by our troops.

Federal Log at Chambersbarg
A correspondent, who visited
Chambersburg shortly- after the de
parture of Stuart's Cavalry, found
that the rebels had destroyed, in a
few hours. what it will take more
than a year to replace, at a cost of
from $lOO,OOO to $500,000. The large
railroad depot, all th emachirle shops
for thc Cumberland Valley Railroad,
the heavy warehouses filled with
grain and bicwernment stores, five
first class passenger locomotives, 30,-
000 stand of arms, 3,000 Colt revolv
ers, $75,000 worth of ammunition
captured not long since from Long
street, and a large quantity of over
coats and winter clothing for the
soldiers, were burned up or taken off.
In addition to the large amount of
property destroyed, Stuart took
about 1,800 horses from the city and
the adjoining county. Nearly all the
rebels, as they left the city for Era •
inittsburg, were mounted upon fat,
sleek horses. The store of Isaac
Jlulton, boot and shoe dealer, was
t 4 a only one which suffered. All the
other merchants closed their doors
upon hearing the first reports of the
rebel advance, and were WA request

The Battle at Perryville.
Let your first ewe be, then, 10e
pendence. Without pecitniary inde
penddiceirodikre itot'isvett intellect
ually free ; with independence, even
though it be gained through some oc
cupation which you endure as a
drudgery, still out of twenty-four
hours there will always be some
hours for - the occupation in which
you delight.
SAVE MORE THAN YOU SPEND
Independence! independence! the
right and power to follow the bent
ofyour genius, without fear of the
bailiff and dun, should be your first
inflexible aim. To attain indepen
dence, so apportion your expendi
ture as to spend less than you have
or you earn. Make this rule imper
ative. I know of nothing better.—
Lay by something every year, if it
be but a shilling: A shilling laid by,
net and clear from a debt, is a re
ceipt in full of all claims in the past,
and you go on with a light foot and
light heart to the future. "How am
I to save and lay by ?" saith the au
thor, or any other man of wants
more large than his means. The
answer is obvious—"lf you cannot
increase your means, then you must
diminish your wants." Every skill
ed laborer of fair repute can earn
enough not to starve, and a surplus
beyond that bare sufficiency. Yet
many a skilled laborer suffers more
from positive privation than the un
skilled rural peasant. Why ? Be
cause he encourages wants in excess
of his means. * * * lie who has
saved for one year finds the security,
pleasure and pride in it a luxury so
great that his invention will be quick
ened to keep it, Lay by ! lay by !
What makes the capital of nations !
Savings; nothing else. Neither na
tions or men are safe against fortune,
unless they can hit on a system by
which they save more than they
spend. When that system is once es
tablished, at what a ratio capital ac
cumulates! What resources the
system grt,dually develops ! In that
one maxim is the secret of England's
greatness! Do not think it mean
to save more than you spend. Y ou
do in that what alone gives your
ceuntry its rank in the universe.—
The system so grand, for an empire
cannot be mean for a citizen.
Well, we have now added, another
rule to the canons prescribed in the
management of money .—Save more
than you spend. Whatever your
means be, so apportion your wants
that your means may exceed them.
Every man who earns but lOs a
week can do this if he pleases, what
ever he may say to the contrary ;
for if he can live upon Ios. a week, he
can live upon 9s. 11d.
In this rule make the emphatic
distinction between poverty and
neediness. Poverty is relative, and
therefore not ignoble; neediness is a
positive degradation. If I have on

THE DRAFT!
HArtatsurito, Oct. 17.—Gov. Curtin, upon
application to the War Department, has
been authorized to permit the drafted mili
ia to become volunteers by changing their
trm of service from nine months to three
tars. Inquiries and suggestions of this
taracter have been received from all
Lrts of the State, and the plan will
übtless result in the conversion of many
fled militia into volunteers for three
years. This is an important move, as it
probably entitles those who change their
time of service to bounty, advance pay,
premium, and in fact all the advantages
heretofore enjoyed.

rAZIACEPLILY IN THE CAMP
A TRAITOR IN CENTRE TOWNSHIP!
We trust. MEssas. Enrrons, you
will let us have a small space in
your paper to expose what we think
is the worst kind of sneaking treach
ery that we ever heard of in one of
our professed friends at the late
election in Centre Township. To
think that a man whose Republican
ism we thought was of the deepest
and blackest dye, could so far forget
his principles and betray the trust
that was reposed in him'. Oh, the
frailty of human nature! And yet
such a Republican isthe Waynesburg
gentleman to whom we committed,
with unfaltering confidence, the
hopes of our party in Centre Tp,!
From circumstances since developed,
no doubt can be entertained by any
of us that he betrayed us in the most
shameful manner. When he left
home he had his pockets and saddle
bags filled with "Extra" Republicans
to distribute. and we are told that
he never distributed one copy. nor
read one to a man at the polls! the
very thing that he was sent for.—
Ilow can the result of the election
in that township be accounted for
otherwise, than that we were shame
fully betrayed by this man? If we
did not know that he despises mon
ey, we might think that the
Bank had bought him. But it cannot
be accounted for in this way; we
wish it could anything would be
better than the mortifying conclu
sion we have come to, that he is a
Secessionist. lie has gone over to
the Rebels,—there can be no doubt
of it Even with that old, worn
out, wind-broken, ring -boned, spay
ened politician, Andy Stewart. we
were only beaten by Lazear, with all
his popularity, titi votes ill that town
ship. But look at the result with
Wallace, the statesman, the friend
of emancipation, the great advocate
of the freedom and equality of the
races, to be beaten by Lazear, after
we proved the latter gentleman. in
the Republican of last week, to be
against the natural and inalienable
rights of the negro, 113 votes! It's
too bad, sirs ! and all this to .be
caused by the undoubted treachery
of a professing friend ! Who is to
be trusted after this? What hope is
there Ow the Republic ? What
for the cause of the poor, oppressed
African ? Yet it has been brought.
about by a professed friend—one in
whose fidelity we had no doubt—
one who had always scorned to do
a ?neon thing. and never did a mean
thing before. But so it is. Oh,
save me from such friends ! Messrs.
Editors, you may not like to put this
in your paper, as it comes from a,
Republican, but as I frri a subscriber
to the Messenger, I thought I would
ask this favor. I would have sent
it to the Republican, but I thought
the Lieutenant would not like to
publish it. Please do this favor for
me, and send a copy of the Messen
ger to Dr. Wallace.
A RADICAL REPUBLICAN

about admitting the above ; but as
the author is a very clever fellow,
(notwithstanding his peculiar politi
cal notions.) we have concluded to
give his article a place.
For the Messenger
A OARD.
Messrs. Jones d Jennings :—I
think it my duty, as well as my priv
ilege, to reply to a communication
from Mr. George Wisecarver which
appeared in your columns some two
or three weeks since, in which he
impeaches my veracity in regard
to his saying that he was a Seces
sionist. As I said before, so I say
now, (and he only denies it to save
himself from the enforcement of the
law,) he did say he was "a Seces
sionist, and he didn't care a d—n
who knew it!' Moreover, he denied
that there was any Government, and
said that my son "had gone tq sup
port a pack of' d---d Abolitionists."
I am prepared to be qualified
to the truth of my statement of
what Mi. Wiseearver said at any
time, and Mr. John W. Mitchell, who
was present at the time, will testify
to the same effect.
October 15th, 1862
se- We admit the above with
some reluctance, as it is a personal
matter, and of little interest to the
general reader. We publish it in
simple justice to Mr. Car)-. We trust
these difficulties and unfortunate
misunderstandings between neigh
bors and old friends will not, again
be brought to the notice of our read
ers.

Daniel S. Dickinson, an out and out

STATE ELECTIONS
Reaction Against the Abolitionists !
Elections recently held in ditlerent loca
tions and States indicate the speedy and
triumphant overthrow of Abolitionism in
the country. Maine led off the other day,
when the Democracy gained a member of
Congress, and reduced the Abolition popu
lar majority in the State from 18,000 to
5,000.
The State election in the Northern part
of Michigan (the Lake Superior country)
has just been held. The Detroit Free
Press of Tuesday, thus notices the result:
"We have sufficient reeturns from Lake
Superior to show that the radical Republi
cans were defeated in every county. Ev
ery Senator and Representatice elected
f rom that Section of the State is determ
inedly hostile to the Blairs and Chandlers.
So strong was the feeling against Chandler
that even Repnblican candidates came ou:
against him, in hope of thus being able tc
save themselves, but to no purpose."
"The Connect cut Town Elections
show the most extraordinary revolution of
opinion in one year. The New Ilaven
Register show: twenty towns gaine 1 by the
Union and Democratic party and 53 towns
for the Democratic, 35 tor the Republicans
and Abolitionists, and 11 towns with fu
sion candidates. The revolution of opin
ion in such towns as Derby and Geeen (rich
