We are at a loss to describe the apparatus,
so simple is its construction. It consists of
a disc of steel with a circular opening three
or four. inches in diameter :n the middle,
under which 'work, towards the centre, a
series of patent latch needles, forming a
circle. The)arn, unwound from a bobbin,
is caught upon a needle, and a crank at the
side turned, which drives out the heads of
the needles and the thread catching on the
latch in its return, a perfect double loop is
formed. A small apparatus on top pre-
vents the dropping of a single stitch, how..
ever rapidly the crank m be turned
The ordinary machine is taskud to a ta
ble and a weight attached to the knit cyl
fader as it conies from the machine, a
close, firm fabric, to keep it distended

APE:LicATIONS FOSS ltstanr.—Tbe Com
missioners, since the — distribution of the
relief fund has become a part of their duty,
have their hands lull of business. On Sat.
urday the offiee was crowded with females,
wives, sisters and mothers of volunteers,
applying for their share of the fund, while
many waited in the hail, unable to find
standing room in the over-crowded office.
Many grew tired of waiting for their turn
and went home. The work of arranging
the details for the proper distribution of
the money has been most laborious and
until•affairs are thoroughly systematized
the Commissioners will have just such
levees as on Saturday. When this is done
the business will move along smoothly and
regularly. The reason of the delay on
Saturday, or in plain words, the Bending
away of the poor women empty--handed, me
the intervention of some unexplained legal
difficulty concerning the paying out of the
fund, which we hope, may soon be re
moved and starvation kept from the doors
of the brave defenders of our country in
her hour of peril.
Paisituu ER Dtxuhu SALOOIC —Mr. E
Aureate, of the Mansion House, has fit
ted up, m an addition recently made to the
rear of that building, a large dining room
for the accommodation of passengers ar
riving by the trains from East and West.
Easy access is had to the roJtri from the
platforms and on the arrival of every reg
ular train mcais are served up in the best
style, while a lunch, hot or cold, can be
had at any time. A commodious and
well-appointed bar-room is attached, which
is kept well supplied with the choicest
liquors and segars. This public accommo
dation will be fully appreciated by the
many travelers passing through our city,
and we have no doubt it will prove profit
able to Mr. Aurerdz.
THE WHEELING TRAITORS.—Burrows

twelve months. They were also required
to take the new oath of allegiance, which

UNION FESTIVAL AT 111..,N eITY PARR
—From the extensive preparations now
being made for the grand Union festival
at Iron -City Park to morrow, we have no
doubt it will be a splendid affair. The
ladies who have it in charge are making
every exertion to render the casion
pleasant and attractive one and we t rus t
they may succod. In such fine weather
as we now enj noshing could be more
pleasant then a ride to and day in the
country, especially with the assurance of
coot' dinner. While those who pay a dime
for admittance io the morning or afterboon
would hn amply repaid. The proceeds go
to the Fhno I s attached to t. Mary's
church, Lawrenceville, and we hope and
believe the sum realized will be a large
one.

!once, but were overawed by Mr. Bailey's
friends, (who appeared in arms to assist
him) and retired without making a des

I had the pleasure of shaking hands
yesterday, with the old veteran, General
Scott. He look , as though he was failing,
and his countenance seems careworn. His
giant frame and iron constitution is eel.
dently giving under the weight of years
The general health of our regiment Lon
tinues good, and we are getting along very
smoothly. Cot. Black is in camp all the
time, night and day personalty superin
tending everything that goes on.
met one of your old apprentices yes
terday, Wesley Myers, Commissary Ser
geant in Colonel Williams' regiment, who
reports as very near full and in good health.
Colonel W. is encamped near Chain bridge,
and his men speak of him as being an ex
cellent officer, who takes a deep interest in
the welfare of tie command. My much
esteemed young friend Myers look strong
and hearty, and I could not help thinking
as I grasped his hand, how changed he was
in appearance since we worked side by side
in the third story of the old Post building.
Then he waspale and thin, now his bronzed
countenance, broad shoulders and arm
step, plainly indicate that he toe k a wise
step when he became a soldier. if he must
die it is better to do it in defence of the
stars and stripes, than tryout his brain pan
under the gaslight of a printing office.
Of course no one knows whoa we will
have a brush with the rebels, but when we
do, you may all bet your hats and boots
that Colonel Black's big thirty-third will
do its share. Our boys have twice put on
their full fighting harness since we have
beau here, expecting to meet the enemy,
but ho did not come. lam not allowed to
say a good deal teat would be of interest
to the public, but.all our friends may rest
assured that we, are ''in the r:ght row of
stumps," and fill render a good account
of ourselves .
A brother of Jackson, the agzassin of
Ellsworth, lives just adj. - At:dug our camp
and sits on his porch looking very sulky
and black as our soldiers pass hie door. I
am informed that he is closely watched,
not allowed to go oil his farm.
As an evidence of the g.-aheaditiveness
of young America, I would mention that
John Dittmar°, a boy of thirteen sum—
mers, whose parents reside:a Birmingham
and who has an elder brother in Co. 13.
has just arrived in our camp, and as I
write Lieutenant McKee is giving him his
dinner. He says he heard his brother was
hurt with a bayonet, (which was a fact,
although not seriously,) and that he wanted
to see him. He owned up to running away
from home; and his account of his 'driven
'tures from Pittsburgh here Is rather inter
esting. He is well and as long as he re
mains with us, will be provided for, al,
though he seems tolerably well able to
take care of himself.
Col. Rowley'i regiment is now encamp.
ed at Meridian Hill, two miles from Wil
lard's Hotel, out Fourteenth street. I met
Captains Patterson and McFarland on the
Avenue yesterday, who' reported the regi.
ment all right. Also shook hands with
Col. Hays, of Sharpaburg, who is encamp
ed on the ground formerly occupied by our
men, on Kendall's Green, about a mile
from the railroad depot. He looked well
and reported his command all right.
Col. McKnight, of Brookville, with
several hundred , men, is encamped on
Kalarama Hill, near Tenallytown, where
the whole reserve corps is quartered. Thus
you see the Pennsylvania boys are all pret.
ty close together.
Gen. Porter, I am Informed by a by..
stander, told Col. Black that he had the
finest regiment in the division, which was
no mean compliment.
Some of our boys were out reconnoiter.
mg yesterday, and in their rambles, came
across a potato patch and several corn
fields belonging to "seseshers." Of course
they helped themselves abundantly, since
which time we have had something to eat.
Capt. Samuel 11.c.Selvy has been assign
ed to our brigade as Commissary, and en
tered upon the discharge of his duties. Re
starts out fair, and as if he intened to do
th,
ozi clean thing. If he doeo he will get
credit fer it, and if he don't he won't. In
his "posieh" he has as excellent opporte
nity to show what he is.

ST. Louis, Sept. 22.--The following is
the account of the battle at Blue Mills
landing derived from an authentic source :
Lieut. Col. Scott with 570 men the Third
lowa regiment, and one piece of artillery,
left Cameron on Monday the 16th in pur.
suit of the rebels, who left St. Joseph the
Friday previous. Scott arrived at Liberty,
Clay county, on the morning of the 17th,
and moved from that place at one o'clock,
p. m. At one o'clock he fell in with the
enemy, 4,600 in number, occupying a
strong position. Our skirmishers received
a galling fire and slowly retreated to our
main body where the action became gen+
eral. Our six pounder was brought to
bear on the enemy, and a few shots fired
which proved destructive. At this time a
heavy fire was opened on our single gun,
killing our gunner and wounding two oth
ers. On this several other gunners, Germans
from it. Louis abandoned the gun carrying
off the primer and matches, reducing the
piece useless, The action continued an
hour, when our column was slowly wit.:-
drawn to more open ground, bringing off
the wounded and dragging away the gun
by hand, all the horses having been killed
or badly wounded. About this time Col.
Smith who left Bt. Joseph with 1400 about
the same time Scott did Cameron and for
the same general purpose, joined the latter,
having pushed forward his mounted men
and artillery at a rapid pace. On receivs
