MONDAY MOUNING, JULY 25, 1864
The Present Scarcity of Labor.
A very serious consideration occurs to the
minds of Several 01 our citizens at present,
especially of those who are carrying on a large
business in the manufacturing line, and who
need a large amount of hands in order not to be
obliged to suapenil business. The consideration
.1s this,.how are hands to be procured after the
present draft will have drained the country of
its working material and left all business
nearly at a stand still t It would not pay to
suspend business, neither would it do so, to ex
pend a large amount of money to carry on bus
iness during the scarcity, as labor will then
have redoubled its price. What then ate we
- to dot Shall. tee expect a large immigration
of working men, who would undertake to do
our work until our own men return from the
field 1 Their arrival would be agoilsend to us,
but It still remains within the hitt verge of
probability. We announced a report which
caste from Washington, to the effect that iu,oott
Swiss emigrants were wailing at tfavre and
other French ports to lind transportation to
America. But these emigrants are coml., so
slowly, that one would think that they h td al
ready settled down in France, or that the war
will be over by the time they arrive. A. large
number of laborers would be very desirable du
ring the present crisis, and we will have to ex
ert ourselves to our . utmost in order to indoce
them from the Eastern States. It is reported
that the lcingshoremen In Boston are reeei,
four dollars per day for their work. Such pay
even at the present time is enormous, and we
do not think the statement worthy of much
credit, but certain it is, that they receive high
wages, and that we will hare to tender the same
to the newly arrived workman, if we wish to
induce him to work for us. Steady work, gsod
wages, and comfortable quarters were never
offered in vain to the industrious emigrant, and
these things he will certainly require of us if
we synth him to patronize us In preference to
others,
A Man Lost--Great Excitement—FM-teen
Hundred Men In search for Him,
Laat Saturday week a young mart who lived
with his parents in Somerset county, near the
Cambria county line, by the name of Wertz,
took a bucket from home and said he was going
out to the mountain, near that place to gather
some whortleberries. He did not come home
that night and the parents becoming alarmed.
gathered some twenty or thirty of the neigh
bors the next day and made a search for him,
without however discovering any signs that
might lead to his recovery. The alarm spread,
and the next day two or three hundred persons
went to the mountain in quest of the missing
man, but without avail. The search has con
tinued every day since, the numbers still In
creasing. Yesterday, not less than fifteen hun
dred *ergot's from Johnstown, and vicinity,
started early in the morning for the Laurel Hill,
determined, if possible, to learn what has be
come of him. His father, John Wertz, and hie
mother are almost distracted during the fearful
suspense in regard to his whereabouts The
Laurel Hill la a dense forest, near fifteen miles
wide and running through the State, full of deep
ravines, whose tortuous windings form a laby
rinth in which any one may be easily lost. The
thick underbrush, ton, makes this wilderness
still more solitary and dreary.
The men in search at night built tires at
different points in the woods to attract, if pos
sible, the attention of the missing man, will eh
communicated to the leaves, and the whole
mountain is now one extended tield of fire,
leaving but little prospects for anything hut the
charred remains of young. Wert z to he recot

• The Drought.—The present drought is no
myth, but a sad reality. The corn is greatly
parched up, the potato tops are drying up, the
leaves are falling from the trees dry and with
ered to the ground, the streams of water are
going dry, and the clover and pasture fields,
are burned 'np. Truly, with the allm crop of
fall grain anti the present threatening 'diought,
taken in connection with high prices generally,
the future Is dark enough for the poor man.
Presentation.—lhe steamboat committee

The Inscription on the same runs thus : "Pre

Treasurer." Thepresentation speech was made
by B. Finney, Esq.,in his usual happy style,
and replied to by Mr. hi cGrew, in brief but elo

The Weather.—The weather in this city
during the last few days has been fresh and cool,
and it is very pleasing to think of the delight
ful weather we enjoy, while in every other city
they are complaining of the excessive heat.
HoweVer, every flower has its thorns,.and the
farmers fear for their corn crop, which they
say is suffering for want of rata, so that a great
scarcity of corn will be the consequence of our
present enjoyment.

Was created here a few days since by the
tirrest of several very prominent Seces-
Honists in this city, whose offense was
unknown. It has lately come to light,.
however, that they were connected with
a conspiracy - extending through the en
tire Mississippi Valley, having for its
dbject the erection of a Northwestern
Oonfederacy.
Col. Sanderson, Provost Marshal
General of this Department, has been
gathering evidence in this matter for
several mouths, which is now in posses
sion of the Washington authorities. It
hoplicates many public men, and shows
that the organization was far itrfore•dan
gerous than supposed. One of the ar
rc'sted parties here is said to have been
so badly frightened that a bond of half
a Million was offered for his release.
It is believed that the recent guerrilla
movements in this State have some con
nection with this scilieme particularly
as Thornton, in a speech it Platte City,
said that the Kniehts of the Golden
Ciit•cle were organized and armed to rise
throughout the free States, that Val

NEW York, Ju.y 23.—A World Wash
ington special of the 22d, says; Dis
patches from the West received here
to night announce the occupation of
Atlanta by Sherman, which succeeded
the heavy engagement fought yesterday
between Sherman and Hood, in which
the latter was defeated. It is now defi
nitely known that Sherman's'l cavalry
have destroyed the railroad south and
east of Atlanta in such an effective
manner as to prevent their further use
by the enemy.
There is no truth in the reported bat
tle at Leesburg, Va. No rebel forces
are in that vicinity. It is ascertained
that the main portion of the revel forces
have ftilly retreated South, and our
troops have closed the pursuit.
Rebel Communication with At-
NEW Youx, July 23.—A Herald dis
patch, dated Nashville, 22d, sap,: The
success of Sherman's movements in cut
ting the eastern and southern commu
nintions with Atlanta lead to the belief
that the rebels have been foiled in their
attempt to escape, and that their opera
dons in that
,place have already been
narrowed down to a seige, Two large
cavalry forces, some time since, left the
army at different points, and ha ve doubt
less ere this, cut the Macon and Colum
tnci railroad in such a manner that if
the enemy succeeds in leaving the city
to go away, it must be at a loss of life and
property.

Locisvimal, July 23.—The Evansville
ndiana Journal of yesterday says, that
a courier arrived there on Thursday
from Henderson, advising military au
thorities, that Henderson was at
tacked by rebels from one hundred and
fifty to seven hundred, and fighting was
going on. Our gunboats immediately
left for Henderson. The Federal troops
who went to Henderson on Wednesday
to shoot two guerrilla prisoners in retali
ation for the murder of a Union man in
Henderson, oceasioned this rebel raid
Certain distinguished citizens made
great exertions to prevent the execution,
and Gen. Ewing postponed it. Citizens
of Henderson, left in large numbers, the
Halleck being literally crammed. Per
sons who left later, report guerrillas in
the city, and Federal troops in line of
battle awaiting an attack. The timely
arrival of gunboats would save the Fed
eral troops from disaster. The latest
passengers arriving last night, say that
the gunboat Brilliant, was shelling the
woods at the lower end of Henderson,
but not expected. Capt. Perkins has
done the town much damage whether
the guerrillas are there or not. We are
sorry commander Fitch is not there in
person.

FROM GRANT'S ARMY.
The Situation at the Front
IVAsruNaroN, July 24.—A letter from
the army of the Potomac, dated yester
day, says nothing of particular interest
has occurred in the past two days. The
skirmishing in Burnside's front on Fri
day afternoon was quite lively, but
without injury to our men. This seems
to be the only part of the line where
it may be said the, firing is almost un
ceasing, scarcely five minutes elapsing
in the day or night without heavy mus
ketry or artillery.
Gen. Grant has assigned the command
of the 15th Army Corps to Gen. Birney,
who proceeded to his new post ,on Sat
urday morning. Gen. Birney has well
merited this prOmogon, no division- Au,
the army having perforped not Or ser
vice during the campaign. Gen. Mott
succeeds to the
„.capnian4of the 3d -Di
Manfritinors of other changes
are current, but cannot be relied on. -

They were attacked and driven across

is stated to be between 200 and 300, that
of the enemy much greater.
The Whig is severe upon the Rich
