aitg Eritgapi Wedneslay Afternoon, July 10, 1801 Woo - moos. Sacoritto.—The season for shoot ing " timber•doodles " legally, commenced on the fourth of July. They are reported to be plenty in this region. lli.covranio. —We are pleased to announce that Col. Thomas A. Scott, who has been 111 at Philadelphia for several days, is now so far Iv o )yered as to be able to attend to his important duties es railroad manager in the government service. PIKATORIAL.-A party of gentlemen intend visiting Oyster's dam to-morrow on a piscato rial excursion. No doubt they will realize much pleasure and physical benefit from the excursion. It is a pleasant retreat on a hot summer day when the thermometer ranges away up among the nineties. =I "Tanta, VLICTIJE AND TEMPIRANOZ."—State Capital Section, No. 21, Cadets of Temperance, will hold a regular stated meeting at their hall in North Second street this evening, at half past seven o'clock. It is to be hoped there will be a full attendance. The quarterly election of officers takes place, and much other impor tant business which has accumulated will be transacted. G. W. Fes, Acting W. P. Tan Don LAW.—A number of persons, some of them prominent citizens, were before the Mayor yesterday, for violating the ordinance which requires owners of dogs to keep them muzzled when running at large. All of them were fined the usual amount. This is the season for mad dog?, and the safety of community demands a strict enforcement of the protective ordinance referred to. A TmEr Annan:co.—Yesterday afternoon Patrick Bruner, fireman at the State Lunatic Asylum, was arrested by officer Wickert ; charg ed with stealing a quantity of old copper and brass from the Asylum. He sold it to a colored man of this city, and the latter subsequently 'reposed of it to one of our brass founders.— Bruner's father went security for his appear ance at Court to answer the charge. THE CITY Tomas contained four occupants last night, all " drunks." One of them was a soldier, arrested for insulting a woman on the street. Another was an Irishman, who made things rip miscellaneously in the domicil of Mrs. M'Carty, near the furnace. The former went to prison, and in the case of the latter a compromise was effected. The other two of fenders had no money to pay their fines, and the prison being full the Mayor discharged them. 1:=1 01311, GALIAST VOLIINTELM.—It le now nearly three months since most of the volunteer com panies of this city entered service, and some are looking for them to come home. But the prom inent and responsible positions occupied by the regiments vvith which "our boys" are connect ed, may delay their return. Well, they are ready for their country's service at all times, en iif needed will be on hand for duty. We learn that a number of them have determined to re-enlist for the war. CO/EMITTED TO Putscut.—The German, Berrie; who shot at officer Radabaugh yesterday, and whose arrest we noticed in our last issue, had a hearing before the Mayor last evening, when he was committed to prison to await a trial for violently resisting the officers, and for assault with iutent to kilt. Berrier has the reputation of being a quarelsome and malicious man, and his confinement in prison will be a relief to the neighbors to whom he has long been a terror and annoyance. -.....-..... TEE BERRY Masztr.—There was a profusion of berries in market this morning, the supply far exceeding the demand. Whortle-berries, the first of the season, sold for ten cents a quart; raspberries for about the same ; mulberries as low as four cents ; and cherries and currents for ten and twelve cents. Berries and light fruits of kinds are unusually abundant this season. Our rural friends inform us that there will also be au immense crop of blackberries and dew berries, now beginning to ripen. Mous Rurrummt.—Some of the whisky drinking volunteers at Camp Curtin, who per ambulate the streets of this city day and night, indulge in conduct which American soldiers should blush to be guilty of. Another of them was arrested last evening for grossly insulting respectable ladies, and confined in the lock-up. Similar outrages are perpetrated almost every night, so that it is really unsafe for women to be on the street. This class of fellows are a reproach to the service, disgrace the uniforms they wear, and the country would be benefitted by their expulsion from the ranks. If there was not something wrong in the management of Camp Curtin, our citizens would not be an ed by so many drunken soldiers staggering about the streets, and committing the offences complained of. When General 3.l'Ctdl assumes command of the camp we hope to see a new end better system inaugurated. 'UNITED STATES Parsons smolt &MAIL The other day United States Marshal McDowell, Deputy Marshal Bledill and United States At torney Burns, all of Kansas, passed through Harrisburg en route for Washington, • with four Prisoners, convicted in Kansas of making and Passing counterfeit coin. The first term of the tlinted States Court in Kansas was held by Judge Williams in Topeka, the Capitol of the '4 'Late. Four prisoners were convicted for coun terfeiting. There is no State prison as yet in Kansas, nor any secure county prison; neither has the Legislature granted permission for any of the Jails in the State to be used for the con finement of U. S. prisoners, who have therefore be taken to Washington for imprisonnaen,t. £he four persons were Isaac Parker, sentenced ro twelve months imprigarMent, Aaron Stever, "i-iliteen months, John Smith, three years, and Baldwin, three yearn, all to be kept at hard labor. DROP LitrTEßA.—The post office laws provide that all letters must be paid by stamps. Many persons throw letters into the post office with out stamps, and particularly those intended for persons in this city are seldom paid. All such letters must be held for postage and are sent to the dead letter office at Washington city. Per sons who desire to send notes to others in this city, through the post office, must prepay the same with a one cent stamp. P. r n NEARLY DROWNED. —While a number of lit tle boys were bathing in the river last evening, one of them ventured beyond his depth and narrowly escaped drowning. But for the timely intervention of a gentleman on the bank who waded in to his rescue, the adventurous lad would have found a watery grave. Every even ing large crowds of small boys, who have not yet learned to swim, may be seen bathing in the river, and the wonder is that deaths by drowning are of such rare occurrence. THE Comer.—The comet is now becoming "small by degrees," though not "beautifully less." As seen last night its tail extended to less than half the length it appeared one week ago. Nor is its apparent motion among the stars nearly so rapid as at that time, it having traversed only two or three degrees within twenty-four hours. It appears that our globe had a very narrow escape from a "brush" with the tail of the comet, to which the former was so unpleasantly near on the 28th of June that it escaped by little more than a day's journey. So it seems the tail of the comet, if not "the trail of the serpent, was over us all." Within three or four days this hasty visitor will disappear to the naked eye. It is some satisfaction to know that all danger had passed long before we knew of its existence. GREEN Faurr.—Among the early fruits ex posed for sale in market this morning, we no ticed a quantity of green apples and pears, and many persons were green enough to buy them. The eating of such trash is the cause of much of the sickness now prevalent in our city, in the shape of cholera morbus and similar com plaints incident to the season. Ripe and fresh fruits of all kinds are probably the most whole some articles of diet in which people can in dulge ; but those who have a proper regard for the health of themselves and families, and wish to avoid the payment of large doctor bills, should ignore green apples and other unripe fruits as they would poison. Only the other day a friend of ours gratified the desire of his children for green pears. The result was that two of them became dangerously sick, and it is doubtful whether the skill of the family physi cian will avail to save the little ones. A WINDING WAY.—The United States caval ry companies which passed through this city on Monday evening, we are informed had until recently been stationed at Fort Smith, Ark., and other posts in that vicinity. After the se cession of the State and the treachery of the Government forces in Texas and Arkansas, these companies were withdrawn. The custom- ary route, from Fort Smith to the Mississippi by the Arkansas river, had been closed by the action of the State authorities, and in order to reach the seat of Government, the troops were marched across from Fort Smith to Fort Leaven worth, on the Missouri, hundreds of miles through a wilderness. They were halted a short time at Leavenworth, and subsequently at St. Joseph, whence they crossed by rail to Hanni bal, on the Mississippi. The Journey is an ex tremely severe one on both man and beast, but all seemed to have completely recuperated. They were hurried through with as little delay as possible. A member of one of the companies, a young man nAtned Hall, formerly resided in Harrisburg, and has relatives living here. SECOND Messacauserrs REGISI ENT. —This splen did regiment, ordered to reinforce Gen. Patter son at Martinsburg, passed through this city this afternoon, and a large crowd of people as sembled at the depot to welcome the gallant sons of the old Bay State. Many of the mem bers are over six feet, and but few of them un der five feet ten inches in height. They are clad in the uniform of the regular service—con sisting of blue pants and coats, and black felt hats, all of which were fitted to the wearers. The men unite hardiness and strength with strong muscular developments, and will proba bly sustain as long a march and achieve as bril liant action as any body of volunteers now at the seat of war. They all appear to be men of intelligence, and give evidence of the care of the recruiting officers in their selections. Their arms are English Minie rifles, of which they appear to be very proud, on account of the ac curacy of the bore and their long range. The Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel graduated at West Point, and served with distinction in the Mexican war ; and many of the non-commis sionod officers took part in the Crimean, Turkish and East Indian wars. Each company is sup plied with three thousand ball cartridges, and four or five days rations, as the complement with which to begin the march toward and through Virginia. Besides this quantity of food, quite a large amount of flour and pork are contained in the wagons ready for cooking. Along with the regiment there are twenty five wagons, two ambulances or hospital wagons, one hundred and thirty-five horses, and a gen erous supply of camp equippage. The brass• band accompanying them consists of twenty-six pieces, under the leadership of Charles Spiegel There are twenty drummers and a drum major. All are enlisted for three years or during the war. The following are the field and staff offs. cers of the regiment; Colonel Geo. H. Gordon; Lieut. Col. George . H. Andrews; Major Wilder Dwight ; Adjutant Chas. Wheaton, Jr. ; Quar termaster R. Morris Copeland ; Surgeon Lucius M. Sargeant, Jr.; Assistant-Surgeon Lincoln R. Stone; Chaplain Rev. A. H. Quint. This regi ment consists of the representatives of the highest social classes in Boston, and the sur, rounding towns and places in 3fassachusetta. Among the lower officers are Rufus Choate,. . Richard Carey, Samuel M. Quincy, and others of the same class. They are to report as early as possible to Major General Pattered, at Mar tinsburg, and expect to reach that place to maw. Pennspluantit t elegraph, theOneobatt 'Afternoon, 21tilp 10, 1801 A ROWDY CAGED.-A wild Irishman named Daniel Burton went into Breitinger's restaurant to-day, and made a violent assault upon the proprietor.

BY TEMPI Another Battle in Missouri. Governor Jackson in the Field Ten Thousand Rebels Attaok Fifteen Five of our Men Killed and two Mortal ly Wounded. IMMENSE SLAUGHTER OF THE REBELS. THREE TO FIVE HUNDRED KILLED Gov. Jackson Preparing for an Offensive War. We are indebted to the Kansas Journal for a copy of the Fort Scott Democrat of the 7th inst. It contains an account of a battle between the Alissouri State troops under Gov. Jackson and Gen. /Mines, numbering by their accounts from ten to thirteen thousand, and the United States forces under Col. Siegel, numbering fifteen hundred in all. Our informant says that on Wednesday ad inst., the State troops left Rupe's Point and moved south to Murray's, six miles on Friday morning, at eight o'clock they broke up camp and marched south in the direction of Carthage. They were met by Col. Siegel with 1,600 men, who immediately gave him battle. The tirst onset resulted in the State troops being driven back some distance, and the °ni cer* ordered a retreat. The centre gave way, but order not being heard OIL the fiaulos the ad vancing United States troops were iu danger of being surrounded. The auk dually fell track slowly, keeping up the tight with the,r artilLry which made fearful havoc. At the crossing of Day Fork, our lines were very near being broken, when by the timely arrival of 200 Union men from Shoal creek they crossed with a loss of but live killed and two mortally woundvd. lhe bathe continued, the United Staite troops :alternately fighting :sad retreating until clack, when they reached Carthdge, having crossed Buck Branch and Spring Biver on the way. The fighting was all done with the artillery, Cul. Siegel retreating as soon as they advanced. It is believed that t.;ul. Siegel's object was to draw the State troops on to Carthage when,with the reserve troops of 400 men at that place, and expected reinforcements from Neosho and Sara Coxie, he would be enabled to turn and drive them back or route them. The loss on Jackson's side was very great Our informant says he counted 70 or 81.0 wound ed on the field and in houses by the wayside. At Dry Fork a large amount of beef was thrown out of wagons, it is supposed to make room for their dead. &toiler informant saps he passed over a part of the held of battle yesterday morning, and saw wagons and hacks passing in every direc tion gathering up the dead for interment. The loss on the part of the State troops cannot be less than from 300 to 5.00. The ground in many places was strewn with dead horses, and the stench was sickening The whole country was laid desolate, fences torn down, crops trampled into the ground and houses plundered. He met parties of women who stated that everything had been taken from them by the State troops except what they had on their backs. The retreat of the United States forces was conducted in a style worthy of veteran troops, with as much coolness as on parade. It was only the overwhelming odds on the side of the rebels that enabled them to carry the day. The victory was really with Col. Siegel. It was also reported that a night attack had been made on Col. Siegel and 400 of his troops killed and six hundred taken prisoners, with three pieces of artillery, but our informant says that he overheard a messenger from the rebel camp say they had killed but one man after entering Carthage, and had taken no guns. Gov. Jackson announces his intention of for tifying Carthage until Price and McCollough arrive from Arkansas with reinforcements, when he will act on the offensive and enforce the laws of the State. Col. Siegel remained in the direction of Saracoxie, where he expected. reinforcements. Nothing can be heard from Major Sturgis or Gen. Lyon. SSMCIND DISPATCH. Latest from the Missouri War . Great Slaughter on Both Sides. A citizen of this place has just arrived, hav ing left Sherman, Jasper county, at daylight this morning. He states that after leaving Carthage Col. Siegel moved two miles south east of the town, where he encamped for the night, his command badly cut up. His loss is variously estimated at from three hundred to one thousand, and that of the se cessionists from one thousand to two thousand killed and wounded. Col Brown, with three thousand troops from Springfield, is said to have joined him. Major Sturgis is north of Osage; and Gen. Lyon, at last accounts, was at Warsaw on his way south. On the day of the battle Gen. McCulloch and Gen. Rice arrived at Netiso twenty miles south of Carthage, with ten thousand men. A guard of two hundred left by Gen. Siegle was sur rounded and taken prisoners. One report says that all were murdered, and another that but a small , portion of them were killed. *Culloch sent forward 2,000 men to assist Jackson. kit+ ampoule 6,000 additional troops it Ask/mu.

HOUSE.—A message was read from the Senate informing the House of the passage of the bill refundieg and remitting the duties on arms imported by States since the first of May last or until Jauuary next. Mr. STLVENs asked that the bill be put an its passage. Mr. Plan= wished to be indulged in a few remarks, to which no objection was made. He said : I am, perhaps, one of the few members who think not only the commencement, but the prosecution of the present war might have been, or might now be, avoided by proper efforts on the part of the national ad ministration. Entertaining this opinion, I am one of those indisposed to resort to force of cannon, bayonet and sword under any cir cumstances, believing that under the theory of our government the Union can never be held together in that way; hence it is my purpose, representing a Congressional district of Ken tucky, to oppose both by voice and vote every movement that looks to the prosecution of the war agaiust the southern States which have se ceded. These being my views and sentiments, I can not and will not, under any circumstances, give my vote for measures which look to the invol vement of our common 'country in a bloody struggle, as the results to both sections will be the destruction of their material and best in terests, and the prostration of Republican gov ernment on this continent. Mr. MALLORY. I have risen simply to pro test, in the name of Kentucky and her Union representatives on this floor, against the re marks made by my colleague, Mr. Burnett. Kentucky, by a large and overwhelmingma jority, will support and maintain the Govern ment and Constitution of the United States. [Applause on the floor and in the galleries.] The Speaker quickly reminded the gentlemen that applause is in violation of decorum, and he would insist on the enforcement 01 the rules. He hoped the House would sustain him. He had no desire to clear the galleries, but if dis order therein be repeated, he would feel it his duty to do so. He trusted all spectators would observer the propriety of the time and the occa sion, and to remember that this was not a thea tre. [Voice—that's true.] Mr. MAtLoav, resuming, said : Ido not de sire to make a lengthy speech. I insist that what I have stated is the opinion of Kentucky in this unfortunate state of affairs. We in Kentucky believe the peril, the danger, the destruction and ruin of so many ma terial interests have been brought about by these very seceding States of the South, which seem to excite tue sympathy of my col league. This being my opinion, and that of Kentucky, I am authorized, I think, to say to this House and country that the people of Kentucky, through her Union representatives on this floor, stand ready to support the government of the United States by every constitutional means to which it may be thought proper to resort for the maintenance of the government and the constitution. (Ap plause.) The SpnaK ER said he would direct the Ser geant-at Arms to arrest any gentlemen who should repeat demonstrations of applause. The bill passed. AFFAIRS ON THE UPPER POTOMAC. GEN. JOHNSON REINFORCED, Era MARTLNSRIIMI, July 9-Night Two deserters from Johnson's camp came in yesterday, and estimate Johnson's force at that point at 15,000 men, with twenty-two pieces of hatmou. Ruliable information has since been received that Johnson has since been reinforced from Manassas Junct.on with tire regiments anti one piece of . cannon. The Fifteenth Pennsylvania pickets took five horses and three rebel troopers this afternoon. Four of our own picket have been Captured yesterday and to-day, whilst marching beyond the lines for water and Virginia hot corn bread. We have a rumor here this evening, and it was received with great enthusiasm, that Gen. McClellan has routed ex-Governor Wise at Buckhanuon and Laurel Hill. Reinforcemente are now approaching up from Williamsport, which will give us an available force of 20,000 fighting men to move forward with, and a forward movement may be ex pected within twenty-four hours. Our men are all grumbling with impatience and eager to move on ; but it is believed that Johnson will fall back to Winchester, and it is there the battle will be fought. FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA, The Unionists at Glenville Reinforced Gen. Nealellan on the March to At- tack the Rebels BUCKHANNON, July 9 A courier from Weston reports that Col. Ty ler of the Ohio Seventh, has succeeded in throw ing one company of his regiment into Glenville, with provisions fir the nine companies of the Ohio Seventeenth and Eighteenth, and was only waiting the arival of the Tenth to move on and attack Wise's command. Gen. MaClellan left Middleford Bridge this morning, with the evident design of reaching a point twemy miles east of here, where the rebels are represented to be in large force and skrongly entrenched. - WEST FROII T E INDIAN TERRITORY Expulsion of an ludian Agent by Rebels. LEAVEN WORTH, July 9 G. W. Coffin, Superintendent of Indian Af fairs in the Inian Territory west of Arkansas, has arrived here. from that section. He was not able to penetrate , the country but about 115 miles, being threatened with capture by the secessionists. His predecessor, Col. Rector, claims to hold the office by virtue of a commis sion from the Confederate States. Since the evacuation of the forts by the fed eral troops, the Secessionists have gained con trol of affairs in the Territory, and have confis cated the money and provisions intended for the Indians. The Convention of Indians called by Governor Hayes, of the Chickasaw Nation, was held on the 24th of June, but broke up in a row. ELEGAION OF UNITED STATES SENATORS AT WHEFLING. WELFALING, July 9. This afternoon, John S. Carlisle, of Harrison, was unanimously elected United States Senator for the long term, in place of Hunter, and W. T. Willey, of Monongalia, for the short term, in Place of Mason. In addition to these, elections for various State officers took place to-day. The new Gov ernment is now under full headway, and itis recognition is gradually extending over all Western Virgiuia. THE MISSION OF TAYLOR. WASHINGTON, July 10. The dispatches brought by Major Traylor con tinue to excite inquiry and comment. The ad ministration is evidently trying the experiment of keeping their purport a profound secret This much, however is professed to be discov ered, namely, that if contents of them were officially regarded, Washington would virtually be surrendered to the Confederate* GEN. SCOTT IN THE BATTLE FIELD WASHINGTON, July 10 It is asserted on good authority that General Scott positively proposes to cross over into Vir ginia, and be present at the thrashing about to be administered to the rebels at Manassas Junc tion. His body-guard are now being selected. MORE TROOPS SENT TO VIRGINIA. Nasal:Norm, July 10. Four additional regiments will be removed into Virginia to-morrow. HAIR DYE! HAIR DYE! ! WI% A.
