Annear OF A SUSPECTED SPY. —Last evening
the Mayor received a telegraphic dispatch from
Baltimore, announcing that a lady had left
that city in the cars for Pittsburg, under cir
cumstances which led to the belief that she was
in communication with the rebels. According
ly, upon the arrival of the cars from Baltimore,
his honor the Mayor, in company with District
Attorney Herr, proceeded to the depot, and
making inquiry of the conductor, discovered
that the lady in question had arrived and had
taken a room at the 'United States Hotel, where
she intended remaining until the departure of
the next train for the west, at three o'clock, A.
M. The Mayor, with Col. Herr, then went to
the hotel indicated, where, making known their
object to the proprietor, they were taken to the
room occupied by the lady. It was discovered,
however, that she had retired to bed, but upon
being apprized of the presence of the officials,
and the object of their visit, after the lapse of
time sufficient to enable her to make a hurried
toilet, she admitted the party into the room,
and readily granted them every facility to make
their investigations. She gave them the checks
for her baggage, and a small package of sealed
letters, which she said had been given to her
by parties in Baltimore to carry to their friends
and relatives in Louisville, Kentucky. She
did not know what they contained, but be
lieved from what she knew of the writers that
there was nothing in them of a treasonable
nature. After a brief consultation between the
Mayor and Col. Herr, several of the epistles
were opened, and found to contain nothing but
matters pertaining to family affairs, upon
which the Mayor abruptly terminated his ex
amination, fully satisfied that the authorities
at Baltimore had waked up the "wrong passen
ger" in directing her arrest. He therefore
apologized to the lady for the intrusion, which
nhe accepted with apparent good humor, and
then left her to resume her slumbers.
THE SUNBURY AND ERIE RAILROAD. —Our read•
era way have began to fear, from the seemingly
ow; eons silence which has been kept in regard
to the negotiations between the Pennsylvania
central and Philadelphia and Erie Railroad
cowponies, that their hopes for the early com
pletion of the latter road, were again to be
blighted, and the company likely to fall, under
the double load of general business depression
and heavy debts. We are glad to relieve these
disheartening apprehensions, on the authority
of Fernon's Railroad Register, published at Phi
ladelphia, and regarded as one of the most re•
liable papers in the country, which says : "The
fact that this important measure was not humed
to a conclusion seems here and there to have
awakened misgivings that there is a "hitch" in
the negotiation, when, as we believe, the cause
uf the delay is due to the care exercised by the
attorneys charged with the preparation of the
contract ; to the funding of scrip and floating
indebtedness, and to the difficulty of getting
together, in midsummer, a quorum of directors,
except on urgent appeal on business demanding
immediate action.
"It afford us gratification to be able to say,
however, that there has been no halt in the
movement since the contracting parties agreed
upon the main points in the proposed lease ;
but that the measure is making satisfactory
progress, the ratification of the contract by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company being a fore
shadowed certainty. From the tenor of the
negotiations as they are progres s i ng i t is ob
vious, too, that not only will the financial con
dition of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad
Company be made less embarrassing than it
has been hitherto, by the action of its creditors
holding unfunded obligations, but that the early
completion and equipment of the road will be
secured beyond possibility of disappointment.
These, certainly, are results worth the exercise
of patience in waiting upon the successive steps
of a momentous negotiation and contract in
volving diversified interests and large invest
ments, the aim and end of which is to secure
the early completion and the efficient working
of a rail line to the lakes, in conjunction with
the existing rail line to the Ohio river, which
/li tter ha been so successful in its operation."
POSTAGE STAMPS. —The new poet office stamps,
having came into general use in the loyal
States, a brief discription of them, together
with the mode by which they are manufactured,
will prove interesting :
There are eight classes of stamps— one, three,
five, ten, twelve, twenty-four, thirty and
ninety-Cent stamps, embracing line engraving
heads of Washington, Franklin and Jefferson,
from portraits painted by Stuart, Trumbull and
Houdon The head of Washington—front view
and profile—is used in the stamps of five dif
ferent denominations. Each stamp contains on
the upper end the words "11. S. Postage," and
at the upper corners the denomination or value
in figures, and the value is also expressed in
letters on the lower end, with "II." on the left
and "S." on the right hand corner.
The one cent stamp, printed in a tint of pale
ultramarine, has a profile bust of Franklin,
which, like all the heads in the different stamps,
is on a geometrical lathework ground, as a se
curity against counterfeiting.
The design of the three-cent stamp is the best
of the new issue. The portrait is from nucleon's
bust, and the oblong background is elaborate
and artistic. The tint is a delicate carmine.
The five-cent stamp is very handsome, and is
graced by a spirited portrait of Jefferson, from
Stuart's original at Richmond, Virginia. The
figure is in an oval, surrounded by lathework,
and the tint is brown.
The ten, twelve and twenty-four-cent denom
snations containlikenesses of Washington, from
Stuart's well-known painting, duplicate "origi
nals" of which are in the Boston Athenreum
and the Senate Chamber at Hartford, Conn. It
has been more generally copied and engraved
than any other portrait of Washington. The
ten-cent stamp is printed in green. The twelve
is in an oval surrounded by lathwork, and print
ed in black ; and the twenty-four-cent stamp is
In an ornamental shield, printed in purple.
Those of the value of thirty cents contains a
bust of Franklin, in a circle surrrounded by
appropriate ornaments, and are printed in
orange.
The last the ninety cent stamp—bears
Trumbull's head of Washington, in an oval,
ornamented ; and the color in a dark ultrama-
As in no bank note plates, the design is en
graved upon a steel plate, which is hardened
and "taken up" on a decarbonized cylinder,
which in turn is hardened, and then transferred
by presses of enormous power to the plate from
which the stamps are finally printed.
The employment of transferring machines al
lows the repetition of the same design to an in
definite extent, and the cylindrical dies, as in
the case of bank-note vignettes, are used to pro
duce new plates, or to retouch those worn in
the process of printing. Thus a single die is
repeated on a single plate, eight by sixteen in
ches, two hundred times, and the plate when
finished is ready for the printer.
The process of printing is the same as in or
dinary copper or steal plate work. The ink is
applied so as to fill the lines of the engraving,
the plate is wiped clean, the dampened paper
applied, and the impression taken on a cylinder
press.
From the press the sheets are taken to the
drying room and dried in an atmosphere heated
to about one hundred and twenty degrees, alter
which they are gummed. The adhesive applied
is a secret of the inventor, but for the benefit of
those who wet the stamps on their tongues
(which is a matter of taste) it may be stated
that the new gum is an improvement upon what
has heretofore been used, and contains a small
quantity of sugar. The gum is applied by hand.
n drying the gummed sheets no less than
twenty-five hundred small frames, with canvass
coverings, and each containing two sheets of
stamps, are employed. These are laid upon
each other, making huge piles, and almost fill
ing the large-sized room devoted to this depart
ment of the manufacture. The smoothing of
the sheets in a hydraulic press completes the
process. The work in this room is performed
almost exclusively by girls.
The perforation of the spaces between the
stamps, so as to facilitate dividing them, as well
as to promote, by the roughness of the edges,
their adhesion, is &rapid and peculiar operation.
It is done by means of revolving cylinder;,
armed on the surfaces with rows of circular
cutting instruments, and which, as the sheets
pass, produce rows of holes. Each sheet is
drawn twice through the machine, in different
directions, cutting completely around every
stamp.
The sheets are afterwards divided, leaving
one hundred stamps on each half.
Counting and packing complete the work.
The last is done in accordance with particular
directions from the Post Office Department,
and packages are made up containing from
two hundred stamps to two hundred and fifty
thousand.
I=
A.aux Hein.—A. correspondent of the Phila
delphia Bulletin, in commending the remarks of
the editor of that journal in favor of clothing
all our soldiers in blue, suggests a further im
provement which will render the dress of the
troops still more distinctive. It is that all the
soldiers be furnished with the Regulation Felt
Hat. An experience of five years in the service
has taught him that one of the most important
things in the uniform of the soldier is that he
have something that affords proper protection
to the eyes and head. With such protection as
is given by the felt hat, men can endure more,
march more easily and become more efficient
soldiers. The common military cap, worn now,
gives as little protection as can be given by
anything that the head will carry, and the
,havelock has to be resorted to enable men to
get along with it at all. But the felt hat is
soft and pliable, and its broad brim shelters
both the eyes and the neck. Moreover the
southerners cannot provide such hats for their'
troops, as they do not make them. So that if
our soldiers, volunteers as 'well as regulars, all
wore them, the most conspicuous article of the
uniform would at once serve to distinguish
them from the e nemy, and there would be no
more firing on our own men.

DNITRIIOUVR FERN at likRISTTA.—About three
o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in
a large frame barn between Walnut and Mar
ket streets, Marietta, which was entirely con
sumed, together with a large quantity of grain
and bay. The early hour of the morning at
which the fire broke out—when but few persons
were up—allowed it to gait, considerable head
way, and before the flames could be checked
they spread to adjoining property, and in a
short time devoured six stables. The barn was
the property of Dr. Samuel Houston, and the
grain, of which there was about three hundred
bushels of wheat, five hundred of oats, and
some twenty-five tons of hay, was owned con
jointly by Dr. Houston and David Paulis —the
latter farming some adjoining land on shares
with the former.
Four of the six stables were also owned by
Dr. Houston; the others, one by Rev. Cleo. W.
Clawges, and one by Miss Boggs. Dr. Hone
ton's loss must be fully $2,000, only $6OO of
which is covered by insurance in the Lycoming
Mutual Insurance Company. The loss to Mr.
Paulis falls heavily upon him, as his share of
the year's crop was all stored in the barn, and
thus, in a few minutes' time, the fruits of a
whole year's labor was snatched from him.
The fire was undoubtedly the work of an in
cendiary. The morning was very calm, other
wise the destruction of property must have
been much more serious, as the neighborhood
is filled with frame buildings.
During the fire an accident occurred to a
young man named John Shillow, who was as
sisting at the fire, which it is feared will prove
fatal. It appears that while some fifty or sixty
wen were working one of the large hooks at
tached to the Union Hook and Ladder Onmpany,
in pulling down the side of one of the burning
stables, the hook gave way, and, as Mr. Shillow
was at the back end of the pole, the full force
of the disengaged pole struck him in the breast,
breaking several ribs, and doing him some in
ternal injury.
CONFIDIGNOZIN OWL Govrtuourr.—The prompt
ness with which our Banks have taken the Gov
ernment loan of $150,000,000, has caused a
general feeling of confidence in the future of
our country increased, also by the loyal out
pouring of volunteers to Washington. The low
est ebb in the tide of our momentary affairs we
believe has taken place, and we may now look
for a buoyant and healthy business. There is
now an active movement in dry goods; heavy
domestics such as brown muslin and sheetings,
brown drillings, cotton laps, &c., have expe
rienced a remarkable rise. Drich & Bowman,
corner of Market and Front streets, have just
received a large stock of fall goods, and with a
large supply of muslin and sheeting on hand by
former purchases, will offer special inducements
to buyers. aug29.

Gerrunnut : Your note of the 16th Inst., has been re
cloyed, saying that you had heard that I had been bene
fited by the use of Wood's flair Restorative, and request
ing my certificate of the fact if I byd 120 -'bjechon to
give It.
I award It to you cheerful' y, Ottiaollol DIME it due
My age Is about 60 years ; the color of int hair auburn,
and Inclined to curl. Some five or DX ", ears stece It ve
gan to torn gray, end the scalp on the crown 01 my he -d
to lose its senduility and dandrullto fort. ::..14)./ It. Ruh
of these dlsagreeabilitirs increased with time, and about
four months 'Moe a fourth was added to them, by hair
falling off the top of my bead and threatentug to make
me bald.
In this, unpleasant predicament, I was Induced to try
Wood's Hair Restorative, mainly to arrest the falling
off of my hair, for II had really no expectation that gray
hair could ever be restored to he original color except
from dyes. I was, however, greatly surprie:ti to find
after the use of two be' Iles only, aim not only was the
ratline(' arrested, but the color was restored to the gray
hairs and sensibility to the scalp, and dandrog ceased to
form on my bead, very mush to the gratification of my
wife, at whose solicitation I was induced to try It.
For this, among the many obligations I owe to her sex,
I strongly recommend all husbands who value the d
miration of their wtv a to profit by my example, and
use t 1f growing gray or getting bald.
Very respectfully, BEM. A. LAVENDER.
