The Commissfener of Internal Revenue
has, made the
,folloming decisions: "A
person' who manufactures only to order,
without making up stock on his own ac
count, and offering no goods for sale, re
quires a manuf4turer's license. A phy
sician practising as a surgeon does not
require two licenses. An apothecary who
sells ardent spirsts by retail must have a
retail liquor dialer's license. If, how
ever, he only :ties it in the compounding
of medicines, itlis not necessary that he
should take a license as a retail liquor
dealer."

Colonel David Campbell.
• This popufar officer was in the-city yes
terday, and left fbr Harrisburg last even•
ing, to return in a fifty days and spend a
week with his family. It will be remem
bered that he was taken prisoner at Wil
liamsburg where his regiment, the Fifth
Pennsylvania cavalry, has been stationed
for several months. 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. He is
the picture of Irobust health, though but
recently recovered from an illness of sev
eral days, and looks as if the exposure of
army life agreed with him. His many
friends here will be glad, to meet him on
his return from Harrisburg.
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. The scoundrels had been very
careful in making their selections , as they
left the goods scattered around miscella
neously. Out of a number of fine dress
coats they selected two, and left the bal
ance. The articles missing,. so far as at
present ascertained, are as follows: Two
shawls, two. overcoats, two dress coats,
two boxes neck ties, seven silk plush vest
patterns, one box shirts, one line coat, light'
colored, and a number of flannel shirts and
satin vests, amounting in value to about

High Mass, and Itt. Rev. Bishop Dome
nee delivered the sermon, which was
highly interesting, and listened to with
marked attention. The services were in

mental music, the latter from a splendid
new harmonium, and the former by a part
of the Cathedral choir and some local
singers. After the dedication the guests
and excursionists partook of a sumptuom3
dinner at the village hotel, and returned
home soon after in the special train by
which they went out.

Fatal Accidents.
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. '

On Monday evening, General Pleasan

within a few lionis march of General
Longstreet's commar,d, which is believed
to be at tlpperville, near Ashby's Gap.
A dispatch from Pleasanton, written at

enemy so far with the loss of a corporal,
who was taken prisoner by his horse fall

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.
The recent rains have not materially
interfered with the fords at either Shep
herdstown or Williamsport. At Harper's
Ferry the water rose two inches, and the
Shenandoah was increased - four inches at
the same point.•
. The rebel cavalry, in considerable num
'bets, still continue to show themselves be

a regiment was seen and fired at opposite
Shepherdstown yesterday.

. 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

of our "ford* is 'undoubtedly the initial
movements of that long promised activßy.
on the part of the army of the Potomac,
which is:p% all' .hope is to deal against the
rebellion iv most staggering blow.

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.
It is reported that the enemy have
already retired, from our front, withdraw
ing their pickets yesterday, apparently
aware of our cavalry advance. 59e have
also tidings from the upper line of the
Potomac, showing that active movements
are also on Not there.
The rebels are said to have evacuated
Martinsburg on Saturday,
LottsviLt,, Oct. 27.—The Grand Jury
have indicted General Jeff. C. Davis, for
killing General Nelson.
The first through mail for Nashville
since Morgan's raid commenced will leave
to-morrow morning. No mails from any
_point east of here to-day. No news from
the army. f
CAIRO, Oct, 27.—Gen. Rosecrans and
staff passed through to-day, en route for
his new command.
Passengers from Helena report Generals
Cheatham and Holmes near that place,
threatening an attack. Thirty-five forag
ing wagons and the guard were captured
by the rebels a feiv=days since.
Hindman is again under arrest.
The latest information from Corinth Fe
;ports that scouts from the neighborhood
`of Bolivar say Price is within four miles
of that place.
General Hamilton has assumed Rose
crane command.
BOSTON, October 27.—The LT: S. gun

From several sources we learn that ihere

attack, but just at what point is not known.
The number of rebels at golly Springs is
said to be 70,900.
The conscript act is vigorously enforced
in the South. An 0,. cer from Vicks

An arrival from Bolivar and Jackson
says it was reported at Jackson, on what
seemed to ,be good authority, that Price
was on . the dir ection with 60,000 men
marching in the of Bolivar.—
Pillow is also reported in the same neigh
borhood with 20,000. - Thie rumor is con
aidered- probable in military girdles. •
Information-from the country last night
represent that the •guerrillaS who lateb'
encamped- midway. between Geritantilwn
and Collierville, have been seen in full re
treat, closely pursued by federal cavalry
under Col. .Grierson: These guerrillas
were from Kentticki, and the impression
seems to be they were depredating ou their
own hook.
Sr. Loins, Oct. 27.—One of the most
serious disasters that has visited our, river
men for many .years, occurred to-day.
About noon a fire was discovered in- the
hold of the steamer M. D. - Bacon, unload

The flames spread with great rapidity, ere
iiting alarm and commotion among the
adjacent steamers,
and before they could
4e removed the McGill, A. McDowell,
stella, and W. H. Russell were wrapped
in flames and' destroyed, together with
their contents.
'About six hundred bales of hemp, one
hundred bales of cotton and a large quan
tity of miscellaneous freight piled on Shore
were also destroyed. The loss is esti
mated at $1,50,000.
