He was released on parole, and•has since been exchanged, but having received no official notification of the fact cannot take up arms until he is duly informed of his exchange.

Burglary at New Castle. - - • - Last Tuesday. night the New York Store in New Castle, was entered by burglars, and a considerable amount of clothing taken.

On Saturday afternoon a distressing ac cident happened in Smith Pittsburgh, near Chambers glass works, resulting in the instant death of a lad seven years of age, named John Hoflacker, son of - a shoe maker of that name. It appears that several boys were amusing themselves by hanging to a coal wagon, descending the steep bill near thatplace. The driver of the team, fearing some accident might happen, drove the boys all off with his whip, and started down. When the boys saw the driver engaged, they, ran to the wagon again, and young lioflacker can ht j ht upon the rubber, between the wheels. he jolt ing of the. wagon shook him off, and the hind wheel passed over his head, crush ing in the skull and 'killing him in an in stant.

No informationn has been received to day changing the position of the main body of the rebel army from the vicinity of Winchester and Bunker Hill.

At Harper's Ferry the water rose two inches, and the Shenandoah was increased - four inches at the same point.• .

Signed A. G. CURTIN: . it is understood that gentlemen in sev e al counties of this State believe that d afted men failing to attend as required, w 11 not be liable to compulsory service, ii t to fine or imprisonment' under the i ntence of a courtemartial. This view is i d to be founded on the Act of Congress ) July 29th, 1861. Governor Curtin has i tested strongly to the President against ; eral order No. 154, and asks for its a etion as unjust to the people of the 1 tes, and calculated to demoralize and le troy volunteer organizations. It is I ng in principle, and the manner of its ex cation will seriously interfere with the vo unteer army now in the field. he recent attempts at armed resistance to the draft in Schuylkill county have tai ed,- and the excitement has entirely su sided. This effect is in a great meas. ur due to the prompt and efficient mili tar preparation to suppress it, and to the ex rtions of Bishop Wood, who in accord an e with the wishes of the Governor, kin ly consented to use his influence in per on „ ..dIiTHONTUBTEII PrITSIIIJRGH. • general order has been issued reliev ing Capt.

He has taken ( on the Virginia side of the Potomac;. near' Lovettsville, infantry and artillery, it will Inot do to say in what number, have been moving in that direction, until it is evident Ilthat the movement is no mere reconnoid sance but in reality an advance of the left wing of the army. This movement, it will be observeill )rings our left wing, which was previousli in the rear, oa nearly a straight line wit the centre. From Lovettsville Gen. Rarnsidethreat-1 cos the rebel flank at Winchester and their line of communication via Front Royal There is little news from the front to : day, and as there has been no firing it is' Flresumed nothing important has ocourred. Geu. Burnsiders forces are massed in the vicinity of Lovettiiville. ;_; Our cavalry and light artillery; tinder Gen. Pleasanton, is reported to have oc cupied Leest,erg last night, the rebel cav alry force retreating before our advance, bits cannot now verify the - report from any one acquainted with the facts. In relation tol the rebels we have numerous reports, all tending to the one conclusion; that the mein portion, if not the entire army, has fallen back beyond Winchester. This fact may be said to be certainly established, thrit they have•deserted the line of the Po. torinic, and are neither to be found in Charlestowr or Martinsburg or Shepherds toWn. During several days of last week it has beth their' practice, as usual, before a re treat, they showed" themselves in strong force at various parts of our lines, and their pickets were viciously belligerent, firing at anything and everything. On Saturday all these demonstrations ceased and their pickets disappeared en tire from our front. !R fugees from Winchester are also re port d to-have come, within our lines, and stated that their town has been evacuated by the enemy who were retreating towards Stanton. I gave it only as a report. The general belief, however, is that Gen. Lee is making fast time towards Gordonsville, and that the main portion of his army is already well in that direction. Everything is quiet at Harper's Ferry, and, the camp bustle and stir incident-to the presence of a large force, notwith standing the predictions almost daily for a week past of the advance forces on Bolivar and Maryland Heights, are yet quiet in their tents engaged with nothing n.ore important than the usual duties of camp life. The men, invigorated by a bracing North-wester, a . ppear in fine health and spirits. It is admitted that the army st is now fully prepared for offensive move] sl srentsj and the present quiet therefore de Jr..eans: nothing. Our outposts in this di- $] rectiori have been in Halltown for several Gt clays ' end it is reasonable to conclude we ' now had Charlestown. to The }rain of yesterday wound up last offi night in a furious storm, commingled with Fri rain aced wind that was severely felt of in the Camps occupying exposed positions offi on the summits and sides of the Mountain foe and op Rolivarand Maryland Heights. The Se , storm raged with such fury that the tents sl were crVerturned and the men forced to a midnight battle with the elements; not withsta tding the considerable quantity of rain that fell yesterday and last night, the' river haS 'been but little affected thereby; the water has not risen over a foot, and , ] wagons ;croes the ford at the ferry to-day withoutldifficulty. The rain will rather tend to facilitate than retard any movements that may be in I contemplation, under the influence of bright sunshine and dry wind, that fol lowed it,i rill harden the road and place them in st ratecondition. Judging of the condition.of our army by what r have seen of it here and at Sharps burg, I think our men were never in finer health and spirits. HARPEtt'S FERRY, Oct. 28.—A special dispatchlto the Baltimore American says : I am happy to be able to inform you that an advance of the army of the Potomac commenced this morning, and I have rea son to believe that before to-morrow night the movement will be general along the whole line: placing the Potomac in our rear. At daylight this morning, the cavalry iorce of Gen. Pleasanton' with four pieces of artillery, crossed New Pontoon bridge at Berlin, j eight miles East of Harper's Ferry, and proceeded direct to Lovetts ville, in Loudon county. At Lovettsville our cavalry entered about 8 o'clock in the morning and the few rebel pickets station ed there flO,d before them in the direction of Leesburg. The people of this loyal town, especially the ladies, received our troops with great enthusiasm, and the stars and tripes were thrown out in all parts of the town. Without stopping, ex cept to leave pickets and a guard, Gen. Pleasanton moved on in the direction of Waterford; expecting so reach Leesburg early in th; afternoon. There w s at the last accounts a small force of rebel infantry and cavalry at Leesburg, and there may possibly have been a fight there. Shortly after the cavalry advance had crossed, Geia. Burnside with his 'second army corps commenced crossing at the same point and during the whole day the bridge was constantly under the tread of the advancing column. They proceeded in light marching - order, though an im mense train of wagons was waiting to fol low them, It was the intention of Gen. Burnside to rest for the night at ',ovens ville and move forward on Monday morn ing, in what direction was not known. The troops were in fine spirits, notwith. standing. tite bad weather, and cheered most lustily as they reached the Virginia shore. The troop on Bolivar Heights are also under marching orders, and it is; thought, will be in mOtion to-morrow.
