Roates to the East.
The Muscatine Courier speaking of the
different routes to the East thus sums up
the advantages to be gained by taking the
route through Pittsburgh. It is a matter
of surprise, not'to say of actual unbelief,
to mauy, if not most of the people of the
North West, West and South-West, that
from Green Bay and l.aCrosse, on the
North, to Cairo and St, Louis. on the
South, the shoitest route to New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, lies through
Pittsburgh. When we add thatthis route,
so generally supposed to be a circuitous
one to New York, is actually nearly one
hundred miles shorter than the route via
Toledo, Buffalo and Albany, and sixty
miles less distance than via Toledo & Erie
Railway, this fact becomes only the more
astounding to the large number of per
sons who have heretofore regarded Buf
falo as on the direct line to New York. A
further advantage of the route via Pitts
bergh, is, that there is but one change of
cars, between Chicago and N. Y. or Phila
delphia, an advantage of great moment to
ladies and families, and withal of no IeBB
comfort to business men. All these ad
vatagea can be secured, by buying your
ticket to the East, over the Pittsburgh,
Fort Wayne & Chicago Railway, which
can be had in Chicago, and at all the
ticket offices of all prominent lines in the
West.
The reduction of fare just made by this
line, to $lB.OO from Chicago to New
York, a privilege belonging to the short
est line to make the rates, should induce
our people generally to try this new and
admirably appointed line, whereby they
can reach the East in less time and for a
lower fare than by any other route.
llon they Feel.
The Editor of the Wheeling Register has
had a conversation with a seoesh prisoner,
one of Morgan's men, now confined in the
Athenaeum at that place, We give an ex
tract ol the conversation that passed be
tween them :
He Baid he had no fears of the South
losing her independence, but that Bhe
would be recognized before winter. We
asked him if he would not prefer to return
to the old Union and live in peace again
under the old flag. Yes, said he, but we
will never come back under the emancipa
tion and confiscation proclamations. A
large majority of his peoplo favored a re
union, but not such as the radicals wished
to enforce upon them ; if the present Ad
ministration, said he, would give us the
Crittenden compromise, there would be
no need to fight another battle ; the South
ern leaders might not like it, but the mass
of the people and the army would hail it
with joy and would ground their arms, —
But he had no hopea of this, there ap
peared to be nothing but war for them
till Lincoln’s time had expired.
High'Wages ot Miners.
The high prices dow demanded by coal
diggers appears to give quite as much dis
satisfaction in the eastern part of the
State a 3 here. The Pottsville Miner says
miners are making from $9O to $125 a
month, not working over eight hours to
the day, and common laborers are getting
better paid at the mines than skilled me
chanics in other branches of business.
The operators are compelled to pay these
wageß, or Etop their collieries —end this
state of tilings will continue until a suffi
cient number of hands can be obtained,
which will force a reduction by competi
tion.
Nnbstitntc I'or Ice Water.
In these days, when ice is dear and
oftentimes not to be had, a very excellent
drink can be made of one-sixth to one
fourth of good cider vinegar, about three
fourths water of ordinary temperature,
and two tablcspoonfuls of fine white sugar
to an ordinary tumbler full; good brown
sugar will do in the absence of white.—
This is not only a more healthful drink
than ice water, but to most persons it is a
very agreeable one. For the soldier it
would be an excellent substitute for lem
onade, however well prepared. This
drink has been used with great benefit by
dyspeptics, who cling to it as a healthful
and invigorating beverage.
Correction.
A correction appeared in some of the
papers of this city, on the 13th, and 14th
inst., to the effect that Robert Perine,
Marion Jackson, and Jas. Morrow, were
held to bail in the sum of $2,000 for ob-
Btructipg the draft. The facts of the case
as related tons by Mr. James Morrow,
one of the parties, are as follows: Robert
Perine was held to bail for his appearance,
before .the District Court, and Messrs.
Jackson and Morrow became his sureties.
They were in no way connected with the
suit, other than above stated.
Bogus Brands.
We learn from most reliable authority
that parties are engaged in baying flour
made of spring wheat in Wisconsin, and
are shipping to this, and other points fur
ther east, branded “ Zanesville,” and re
presenting it as fall wheat flour. It is gener
ally well known that Zanesville flonr iB of
a superior quality, and thus an inferior
article is foisted upon the market, by
using the brand of mills making a snpe
perior article. The attention of the Flonr
Inspector iB called to this fraud.
Discharged.
A few days Bince we noticed the arrest
of Samuel Bixley, charged with having set
fire to the house of his brother-in-law,
Mr. Gilleland, in Ohio township. The in
formation was laid before Mayor Alexan
der by Mr. Gilleland, and the case came
up for n hearing before that officer. Mr.
Bixley proved an alibi, showing that on
the night of the fire he had not left the
house where he works, and of course he
was honorably discharged.
Railroad Accident.
The train from this place to Wheeling,
on its way down day before yesterday
morning, collided with another train on
the track near Wellsville, and one man,
a member of the 68 th Pa. militia, who was
on the train going down, was killed. Sev
eral others were injared more or leßs.
The Latest Agony.
1/men, cotton, paper and steel collarß 1
are now made ; and to these vulcanized
India rubber have been added. The pat
entee states that suitable patterns may be |
painted or printed on the collars, either
before or after they are cut from the sheet;
and they may be made white or colored,
or embossed. Cuffs and wristbands may
be also made of the same material.
Draft in the 18th District.
The draft in the 18th Congressional dis
trict of this State, comprising Centre,
Clinton, Lycoming and Potter counties,
commenced at Williamsport on Friday
last. The draft for Centre and Clinton
is already completed. Everything passes
off quietly, and not a soldier has been
sent there to assist in carrying ont the
draft.

Washington county, Pa., and were sworn
in for three years. They received their
uniform yesterday and returned home,
where they will drill once a week and
hold themselves in readiness to move
anywhere in Gen. Brook’s department,
whenever an emergency shall require their
services.
Tbe Weather.
For the past two days the weather has
been considerably cooler, although yester
day it began to feel a little like the old
time, and became considerably warmer
A continuous breeze caused the sun to
loose a portion of its effects.

dark is supposed to have been false, as
the firemen were unable to find it.

NEW JERSEY FORWARDIMi TROOPS.
New Yorx, August 18. —General Can-1
by has issued an important circular, de
fining the duties of the U. S, troops in
this city and harbor. He says their duties I
are limited to the defense of the forts and 1
the protection of public property, and of
the officers ot the General Government, I
the performance of their usual duties.— |
The duty of maintaining order, and pro
tecting the property and rights of private
individuals, devolves upon the Municipal
and State authorities. That the troops of
the U. S. will be held in readiness to ren
der any assistance that may be called for
by proper authorities or be rendered ne
cessary by the inability of the civil author
ities to accomplish these ends. If the
officers ot the General Government by
committee of the State and Municipal
Governments in the performance of their
legitimate functions are assailed by law
less violence, it will be the duty of the
troops to protect them. If they are charg
ed with the protection of public property, I
public buildings or other valuable interests I
it will be their duty to defend them to the .
last extremity.
If called on by the civil authorities to
aid in the maintenance of trder or the en
forcement of the laws, the aid will be ren
dered promptly, cheerfully and efficiently.
The troops that have been brought to the
city, and who may be called upon to aid
in the maintenance of order and the en*
forcemeat of the laws, must themselves
act the example of orderly and soldierly
conduct, and the attention of all is spe
cially directed to this point.
Executive Chamber, \
August 18. J
I have received information that the
draft is about to be made in the city of
New York and Brooklyn, and I under
stand that there is danger of disorderly
and riotous attacks upon those who are
engaged in executing the law of Congress.
I cannot believe that any considerable
number of citizens are disposed to renew
the shameful sceues of the past month in
which the lives of so many, as well of the
innocent as of the guilty, were destroyed.
Oar courts are consigning to Bevere pun*,
ishment many of those who were then
guilty of acts destructive to the lives and ;
properly of their fellow citizens. These
events should teach all that real or imagi
nary evils cannot be corrected by vio
lence. The liberties of our country and
the right 6 of our citizens can only be pre
scribed by a just regard for legal obliga
tions. and an acquiescence in the decisions
of judicial tribunals.
While I believe it would have been a
wise and a humane policy to have procur
ed a judicial decision with regard to the
constitutionality of the conscription act
at an early day,Bnd by a summary process.
Yet the failure to do this is in no degree
justifying any violent opposition to an act
of Congress, until it is set aside by the |
decision of Judicial Tribunals; it must be
obeyed like any other act of the State, or!
Na’iotml Legislature. The entagonist!
doctrine that men may rightfully resist!
laws opposed to their own ideas of right or ;
duty, has not only led to great disorders
and violence, but is one of the chief causes
of the destructive civil war which has
wasted the blood and treasure of our people.
Disregard for the c?.credness of the Con
stitution, for the majesty of the laws, for
the decisions of the Judiciary, is at this
time the greatest danger which threatens
America. This spirit of disloyalty must
be put down; it is inconsistent with social
order and social security, destructive to
the lives of persons and property, and sub
versive of the liberty of the citizen and
the freedom of the Nation. Those who
fear that there are designs in any quar
ter, and that they will be regarded with
satisfaction by those who, for any cause,
may wish to destroy either the policy
or rights of our national or state. The
Constitution and statutes of the state and
nation contain ample remedies for all
wrongs which may be committed either
by rulers or citizens, and those who wish
to preserve their rights or to punish of
fences, Bhould themselves carefully per
form their duty, and abstain from all ille
gal acts, erroneously support the Govern
ment, and then calmly and resolutely
claim their rights. 1 hereby admonish
all judicial and executive officers whose
duty it is to enforce the law and preserve
public order, that they take vigorous and
effective measures to put down any riot
ous or unlawful proceedings, and it they
find their power insufficient for thatjur
pose, to call upon the military, in the
manner pointed out by the statutes of the
State. If these measures should prove
insufficient, I shall then exert the full
power of the State, in order that the pub
lic order may be preserved and persons
and property of the citizens be fully pro-

received this moraing by the Government,
dated the 17th, From a distinguished mili

Chattanooga Rebel oF the 14th, announ
ced that the bombardment ot Charleston
commenced on the loth, and the firing
from Gilmore’s land batteries on Morris
Island and from the Monitors was chiefly
directed againßt Fort Sumter. The com
bined land and naval forces of the Fedor
als seem to be engaged. The information
published in the Rebel, was received at
Chattanooga by telegraph from Charles
ton, and the tight was going on when the
paper went to press, on Sunday. The
officer who communicates to tho Govern
ment the contents of the Rebel, Bays that
the editor, instead of making boasts about
the result, or manifesting the least jabilant
feeling over the situation of aflairß at
Charleston, exhibits most positive evidence
of gloom. The Rebel stated that the Iron
sides and all the Monitors were not only
: in the action, but that the whole fleet and

Washington General Exchange of
Prisoners , Sc.
.uraora of movements of all kinds, on
the part ot both Union and rebel armies,
of the Potomac, are numerous and varied,'
but too vague to merit credit, and yet in
dicating activity.
We have nothing later to-day from
Charleston.
The Government has do information of
the loss of the 300 pounder rifled Parrott
gun, reported lost overboard by the New

gether.
Mosby, with a band of his guerrillas,
made an attempt to carry off horses frflm
one of the Government farms near Fall’s
Church, but retreated upon being fired
upon by the guard.
A squad rebels made a dash into Pooles
ville, on Friday night last, capturing the
telegraph operator, with instruments des
troying the wire, robbing some of the
storeß, and committing other depreda-
The operator made his escape while the
rebels were engaged in plundering. It is
believed they are Marylanders, represent
ing themselves as rebel soldiers, to cover
their thieving.
Thomas Lister, from Baltimore, was
arrested here to-day, for obtaining money
from conscripts, under pretence of obtain
ing them a speedy hearing before the En
rollraentßoard. Vigorous efforts are being
successfully used to arrest and return
deserterß to the army.
Government has taken possession of
the property known as Geabor, opposite
the arsenal, and will immediately establish
a cavalry camp and depot for horses on a
large ecale.

a general exchange and return ot prisoners
has been agreed on, including officers of
all degrees to take place as soon as the
arrangements to that end can be comple
ted. We have at this time between 70 000
and 80,0t>0rebel prisoners, while they have
about 30,000 of ours.
The steamers Coeur de Lion and Wyan
dotte, of the Potomac flotilla, came op
to day bringing several prisoners, and
about 3*4,000 worth of goods, captured in
Lower Maryland. The goods were pur
chased in Baltimore three weeks ago, and
hid in the woods, awaiting an opportunity
to run the blockade.
