CAMP CPIVITN.—The only volunteers in Camp
Curtin now a re live companies of c avalry, in
tended for the first Pennsylvania regiment of
cavalry reserves. Other companies sufficient to
fill the regiment will arrive here this week
RAlN.—After another term of intense heat this
section of country was visited yesterday
a most refreshing rain. cooling the atmosphere
so AS to afford some degree of comfort. The
rain was most welr•?me to farmers and garden
ers, the growing crops suffering for want of it
Ditowsen. —A young man named J Hoover,
while bathing in the canal about a mile below
Si:dispire on Sunday, got beyond his depth, and
being unable to swim, was drowned before
distance could be rendered. The body was re
covered, and a jury of inquest summoned by
Esquire Wilburn of Middletown, who returned
a verdict in arcordance with the above fact,.,
ROBBERY AT THE CATHOLIC CIIVRCH.-
State street Catholic Church was entered some
time during last week by a robber, who stole
among other things a suboria m—a large vessel
of solid silver, used in the tabernacle for reli
gious ceremonies. It is a very valuable article,
and submits the Church to a serious loss. The
thief will doubtless make an attempt to dispose
of it to some of our jewelers or pawnbrokers,
and they should be on their guard.
COL. BLACKS REODIKNT. —Col. Black's regi
ment, encamped near this city, was visited re
cently by the Secretary of War. Gen Cameron
expressed himself highly gratified by the
healthy appearance and soldierly bearing of the
men, telling them that he had known their
Colonel from boyhood, and that when they all
knew him as ho did, they would love him as he
did, and continue, by their close observance of
strict discipline and good conduct, to make the
Colonel as proud of his regiment as he, Gen. C.,
was sure be was now.
&MIRED Fswr.—An intelligent gentleman
writes to the Pittsburg Chronicle as follows
had for several years two sons at school at Ge
neva, Switzerland. In their vacations they, in
company with their tutor, made excursions
through Switzerland, Italy, Germany, &c., on
foot ; hearing their knapsacks containing their
necessary wants for a month. They were pro
vided with a small bar of common brown soap,
and before putting on their stockings turned
them inside out and rubbed the soap well into
the threads of them, consequently they never
became foot sore, or had blistered feet. Let our
volunteers try it, and my word for it, they
won't complain of sore or blistered feet.
====l
A Paorosrriost.—The Chester County Times
proposes that every officer of the court in that
county be invited to renew the oath of alle
giance to the United States, on the opening of
the next term. We presume every loyal mem
ber of the bar will cheerfully and readily accept
the invitation. They should not be deprived
of an opportunity to participate in such a plea
sant and impressive ceremony. A good idea,
and one that ought to be followed up there and
everywhere, and the ceremony made public,
giving permission not only to the officers, but
to all who desired to renew their allegiance.
There might be some singular developments if
every one was subjected to the test, but if there
are any traitors among us, it is right and im
portant that they should be known and marked.
Youmans discharged within three months
after entering the service, for a disability which
existed at the time of their enlistment, accord
ing to a late army order from the Adjutant
General's office, Washington, will receive
neither pay nor allowance, except subsistence
and transportation to their homes. The certi
ficate given by the surgeon will in all cases
state whether the disability existed prior to the
date of muster, or was contracted after it.
Minors also who may be discharged either by
the civil authority or upon the personal appli-
cation of parents or friends, will be discharged
without pay or allowance. Cases of resigna
tion by volunteer officers have become so au
merous that it calls for increased vigiler.ce on
the part of regimental, brigade and department
commanders, through whom the resignation
must pass for final action at Department Head
quarters, who will see before approving it tha t
a clear statement of the causes which led to the
resignatiob is given. If accepted, and the in
dividual be discharged, the resignation will be
forwarded to the Adjutant's office.

EDUCATION AND PATRIOTISM, --The State Teach
ers' Asssociation, which met at Lewisburg,
Union county, last week, was very largely at
tended,
and the proceedings were unusually in
teresting. Dauphin county had four represen
tatives present, all from this city—Samuel D.
Ingram, Jane Maury, Eliz t A. Bishop and L.
Boyer. Samuel D. Ingram, Esq., was elected
one of the Vice Presidents for the ensuing year.
As an evidence of the patriotic spirit which per
vaded the members of tit& Association, we ap
pend the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That in the present desperate strug
gle for national existence and national freedom,
which the government of the United States is
waging against disunion and treason, the teach
ers of the State of Pennsylvania are ready to
sustain the government to the utmost of their
abilities.
Resolved, That the fund in the treasury, with
such other sum as may be necessary, be devoted
to tie purchase of a cannon, to be presented to the
government in the name of the Pennsylvania
d State Teachers' Association, to aid in putting
own the rebellion.
A liberal sum was at once subscribed to carry
out the object of the last resolution, and Dr.
BurroweB, of this city, was instructed to pur
chase and present the "big gun." It seems
that our patriotic school educationalists, not
content with "teaching the young idea how to
shoot," are determined to aid the government
IA shooting the rebels.
TIIE NEw Pu-STAGE EITVILLOPE. --We invite at
tention to the notice of the Foam —ter this
city in regard to the new envelope just received
lee him. and which are to be issued from the
different Post Offices of the country. The stamp
is a very neat one. The prominent feature of
it i 4 a bust of Washington, done in pink ; sur
rounding the head arc the words United States,
and below the words Three Cents, with figure
three on both sides. The price of the envelope
is the same as heretofore. Persons desiring an
exchange had better attend to it without delay.
P 1
ORN*RAL NIMESS HerursKEr. -General Neg
ley was in this city yesterday, busily engaged
with the formation of the new regiment already
accepted by the Secretary of War. We are cred
itably informed that nine tenths of. the men
who were formerly attached to his brigade have
determined to re-enlist under his command for
the war. His regiment when . filled will quarter
in the neighborhood of this. city for a short
time. From present appearances the General
will be able to raise two frill regiments without
much trouble.
TRIBUTE or Router.—At a special meeting of
the Washington Library Association held at
their hall on Thursday, the Bth inst., the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions were unani
mously adopted :
WHEREAS, In the mysterious dispensation of
Providence our comrade, friend and fellow
member, J. S. Boyer has been summoned from
this world : And whereas, we have ever found in
him virtues, which deserve remembrance ; a
kindness of heart and generous sympathy which
linked him closely to us therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of Wes this as
sociation sustains a heavy , loss, ands grief more
sincere and poignant than the cold formulas of
language can express. Endeared tons by kind
ly offices of friendship, respected and esteemed
as our associate, friend and fellow member, he
has left a vacancy in our midst which will be
deeply felt.
Resolved, That we tender our sincere condo
lence 'to the afflicted family of our deceased
friend, with a trust that Divineconsolation may
soften the rigor of this sad bereavement.
Resolved, That as a feeble tribute of our re
spect and sympathy, we will attend the funeral
in a body.
Resolved, That the above be published in the
daily papers of this city, and a copy be submit
ted io the family of the deceased.

THE LAST MONTH or SIOSHER.—August is a
hot Month—and it is right that it should be a
hot month. We can afford to be hot and
sweaty for the sake of the good done by the
heat of August. It does all the ripening. Ve
getables that come in July are of small account
—puckered as they are in hot-honses, and thin
of flavor. And so with fruits. Nothing is
worth much that ripens before August—not
Juneatings nor cherries. The last month ..of
summer is the crowning month—the best of all.
It flings its warm and yellow atmosphere on the
earth, and the frubtifying juices: ebband flow
in the veins of the pasture and swell into the
rich products of field and garden orchard. Rot
es it is, we like the month of August, with its
red an misty mornings and. its golden e'en
ings. We can utter a blessing on its genial in
fluences, even when the sun stands at noon in
"a copper sky," and the lengthening shadow
fails to lining the cool of the day{ Vor in Au
gust, when there are beads of perspirati,n on
the forehead, we feel that the weather is needed
for the ripening of the country productc atpd t
we are content "With sweaty"6l'66 Arid
palms, when we see that out of this heat and
moisture comes,the abundance of the autumnal
harvest. if any one is disposed to complain,
and be generally uncomfortable because the
mercury rises rather high - ibis thrifty and
golden month, let him consider the moral of
this paragraph, and endeavor always to bear
in mind that it is true in more senses than one,
that man lives by the sweat of his brow. •

THE SHARP Suoorsits —The company from
this State intended for the regiment of Sharp
Shooters now in process of formation, is pro
gressing steadily. The officer % charge of the
recruiting in this State, Mr. J. M. Dewey, is in
the receipt of letters daily, from raked mark B -1
m n, s, eking information relative to the com
pany, and he has every assurance that it will
be filled at an early day. The requirements as,
to precise shooting are very strict, and none
but the most excellent marksmen aro able to
meet them. The company therefore, must ne
cessarily be very select, and to belong to it' will
be a distinguished honor. The men will be at
liberty to use their own rifits, exempted from
drill, and be allowed many other immunities
not permitted in the regular volunteer service.
To those who are able to "send the bullet
where they fix their eye" the "shaspandoters"
present an excellent medium to apply their
skill to the service of their country. Persons

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.
The designs of the new envelopes are superior
to those of the old issues, and ale now in the
hands of Postmasters for sale. Some of them l
will carry 40, 24, 20 and 12 cents worth of mail
matter. The larger denominations being adapted
to the demands of express companies. The new
postage stamps will be ready for distribution
towards the close of this week.
The recent post office order prohibiting the
transmission of envelopes with scurrilous or
.scandalons matter printed or written on them;
'is intended to cover such eases as that of a
!Massachusetts quack brought to the attention
!of the Department,he having selected thatmede
!to indecently advertise his business.
The order does not, as many soldiers tux'
Others suppose, prevent the passage through the
mails of envelopes with patriotic and Union
devices or designs. There were about sixty
bidders for stippiliqg the post office department
with locks and keys, some of them exhibiting
each five or six different kinds. An entire
change of them is designed, owing in part to
many of the old patterns being in the posses
sion of the dialoyalists.
The commission on this subject have made
their report but the Postmaster General has not
yet made his decision.

PRINCE NAPOLEON'S VISIT TO MANASSAS..
Prince Napoleon left this city yesterday for
Ng
Icomment.w York. His visit to Manassas has provoked
a ght

that day with the Rebel Col. Stewart, at Fair

The following letter, has drat been des
patched to General Butler by the Secretary of
War
WesmiciToN, August 8, 1861
Gaselier. :—The important question of the
proper disposition to be made of fugitives frow
'service in States in insurrection against the
Federal Government, to which you have again
directed my attention in your letter Of July
30th, has received my most attentive causiderar
%ion.
-'. It is the desire of the President that all ex
isting rightsin - all the States be fully respected
nd maintained. The war now prosecuted on
he part of the Federal Government is a war for
he Union, and for the preservation of all the
Constitutionarrights of States and the chi's. s
Of the States in the Union.— Hence no question
can arise as to fugitives from service within the
States and Territories in which the authority of
the Union is fully acknOwiedged.
; The ordinary forms of judicial proceedings,-
Which must be respected by military and civil
authorities alike, will suffice for the enforcement
of legal claims. But in States wholly or 'per
daily under inSurrictionary.control, where:the
limo. of the United States are so far - opposed
dud resisted that they cannot be effectually en
forced, it is obvious that the rights 'dependent
do the execution of those lawsnmst temporari
1Y fail, and it is equally obvious that the rights
dependent on the. laws of the States - within
which military operations are, conducted, must
be,ni.sormsrily subordinate to the,. military exi
gencies created by the insurrection, if not whol
ly forfeited by the treasonable ' - eendirct of the
parties owning them.
To this general rule, t h e rights to
con services
form no exception. The act of Congress
ap proved August 6th, 1861, declares that if
persons held to service shall be 'employed -in
hbstility to the United States, the rights to
their services shall be forfeited; and such :per
sins shall be discharged therefrom. It follows
of necessity that no:claim can be recognised by
the military authorities •of the Union to- the
services of such persons when fugitives'
Amore difficult question is presented in re
spect to persons escaping from the service of
loyal masters, .It is quite apparent that the
la,ws,of the State tinder which only the services
of, such fugitives can be claimed,-must , needs be
wholly,. or almost'wholiri ',Suspended - alf • to
refried* 14' the insurrection .and and the mffitary
measures necessitated by it, and it.is..equaLlv
apparent that the substitution of military 'for
judicial measures, for the enforcemerit'Of.hisCh'
oleinia,,,ii.net,be *tended- by great inConve.:
niences, embarrassments and:injuries. -- - ..,. ..
Under these circumstances, it seems . quite
clear that the substantial rights of loyal Mas
ter will be best protected by receiving sile.i - fu
giiiveri, as well as fugitives from disloyal marl
tens, into the service of the United States, and.
employing them under such orgardsations and
in Such occugations' es circumstances may snigi'
gait or require. Of courte"rt record ehmild be
keit, showing the name and description.of the
fugitives,
the name.and the eharacterias • lOyal
or disloyal) of the Master and flitch . fide •as
may be neceraiary,to a correct - understmraiing ,of,
thee circumatinces .of each itiose. - Atter tran
quility shall have been restored upon the return
of peace, CongresraWill doubtless properly pro- ' -
vidt for allLthe 'person's thus recieved int.?, the
servicetirthe Union, and ' 'fur a iiiit..-459ntistalai
tiori to the:loyal masters. In this way only, it
would seem; cad `theOduty and safety of the
GoVernment, and the just rights of all, titsf9ll`..,
reocintsileiti and harmonized... ... . , ~ ..:.
