Novel Banking. We see it stated that
"the Military chest of the rebel General Gar
nett, whioh was captured by our troops near
Rich Mountain, was found to contain sheets of
unsigned notes of the Fainnount bank, Va.
The President of the Bank accompanied Gen.
Garnett, as one of his staff signing such quan
tities of the notes as were wanted from time
io time.". This was a travelling "Mount-a-liank,"
literally.
The Weather. Since our last issuo the
weather has been changeable. The latter part
of last week was warm and sultry. On Mon
day it rained most of the day; and on Tues
day we had rain, and the air became quite
cool. The river is up to a rafting "flood;"
and, wo believe, revcral rafts have been star
ted down stream, llow far they will be able
to proceed, is not certain ; but, we presume,
they will not get to market.
Increase or Pay to tub Soldiers. Con
gress has enacted a law increasing the pay of
the soldiers from cloven to thirteen dollars per
month, which comes up morn to the standard
of justice, and also affords additional induce
ments to volunteer. Thcro is no reason why
the federat army should not lie the best paid,
ho most thoroughly diciplined, and most
.highly cultivated of all the armies in the
world. The raw material is at hand the un-
.discilincd valor and fortitude abounds every
w'ert, to make our army such, now that the
pay has been raised, if commands are only
given to nen of experience, ability, moral
worth and manly culture.
Stiirs Death or Bishop Bowman. The
following, relating to death of the Bishop, we
clip from an exchange: "The body of Bishop
Rowman of (he Episcopal church was found
near Parnassas, on the Allegheny V. R. R. on
Saturday morning the 3d inst. A jury was
summoned by Esqnire Irwin and a verdict ren
dered to the effect thai "he came to his death
Jy visitation of God." He was on his way
from Pittsburg to Kfttannlng, and there being
a break in the railroad, so that the trains could
not connect, be undertook to walk some four
miles to make the connection, and probably
the extreme heat of the day overcame him, he
sank dohn by the road side, dead, and to all
appearance, never moved out of the spot."
Bishop Bowman was an eminent scholar, a
learned divine, and a Christian man of most
exemplary character and unblemished repu
tation. He was the friend of the poor, the
counsellor of the rich, the admonisher of the
erring, and the prayerful sympathiser with the
repentant. From a position of lofty respon
sibility and distinguished eminence, he regar
ded the humblest man in the church as his
equal while he would acknowledge no superi
ority or exclusivencss in the circles of aChris
tian brotherhood, save that which was achiev
ed by a test ol faith, or a practice of good
works and holy precepts. In the death of
Bishop Bowman, the Episcopal church has lost
a representative whose labors had distinguish
ed its already world-wide reputation, and ad
ded to religion of least the glory of the sin
cerity and the success of ono man's devotion
to religion.
Confiscation. Ex-Senator Mason, of Vir
ginia, owns a large amount of property in this
State as an heir of theChew estate. In Phila
delphia, on Tuesday, Mr. Benjamin Chew, of
Germantown, applied to Judge Ludlow for an
injunction to prevent Senator Mason from ta
king money out of any estate in which he is
interested, located in the Twentysecond Ward,
in that city. Io asking for the order, Mr.
Chew said : "I apply to your honor lor an
order to prevent James M. Mason from taking
"H of tho jurisdiction of the Court funds
which the Trustees have invested under the
order of the Orphans' Court. Already a very
large sum has been taken out of the State by
-that very rcmarkablo traitor, and I have no
prospect of ever getting retribution if the bal
ance or the funds is taken away." Judge
Ludlow suggested that a citation might issue,
and notice could be made by publication,
senator Mason has ten days in which to appear
and answer. Mr. Chew and 3Ir. Mason are
wothers-in-law.

Robbery or the Phil'a P. O. A Slccess
fll Decoy Letter. An important mail-rob
bery case was heard before Commissioner
Heazlitt, on tho 9th. For several months
the attention of S. B. Row, special agent ot
the P. O. Department, has been directed to
losses of money letters f rom points in New
York to various place In New Jersey. These
letters all had to pass through the Philadelphia
Fostomce. Consequently, suspicion naturally
fell on that omcc.
For some time Mr. Row has been putting
decoy letters in the mail ; but, uiitil this
morning, there has been no clue obtained to
the knavery. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Row,
with the assistance of Mr. Ireland, one of the
clerks, prepared a decoy which has done its
work successfully. They directed a letter to
an imaginary Mrs. Isaac Green, Atlantic coun
ty, N. J., containing two one dollar bills, which
they had taken due note of. The letter ex
pressed the hope that the money would meet
the lady's present necessities, and was then
got up in a way that would make it appear
even to an experienced clerk to have come
from New York.
The letter was stamped with a NewYoik
stamp, the date regularly inserted with type.
It was then placed as all regularly registered
money letters from New York are in a large
envelope on which was written "Atlantic City,"
and in one corner, "Post Office business."
Mr. Ireland, when he saw no one was looking
toward him, thrust this document, which also
enclosed the bill that accompanies registered
letters, into the middle of a pile of a hundred
or so of letters from New York, which were
destined for East Jersey. '
He watched for some time' to see if any one
except the clerk, who distributes the mail for
Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania approached.
While he was looking, he thinks he saw Mr.
Reed take up that portion of the letters in
which the one he had written was placed. He
also saw him drop several letters from tho
pile. This last fact however, is not very im
portant, as the clerks have to drop thus, letters
which do not belong to their departments.
The amateur detectives left tho office at an
early hour. Mr. Reed's hours arc lrom 3 P.
M. till 7 A. M.
Early this morning Mr. Ireland took up the
letters which bad been prepared for Atlantic
City, and found that the one he had got up
was missiug. He went out of the office, and
awaited Mr. Row in the alley, and commu
nicated the fact to hiin. It was then agreed
that they should call on Mr. Reed and examine
him. On entering the apartment where the
latter was, Mr. Row told him that as many
letters sent through his hands were missing,
it was their painful duty to examine bim. He
readily assented, and on examination, the two
dollars were found in his watch pocket.
Reed s counsel raised some objections on
the score of the absence of the envelopes, but
the case was so clear that the District Attorney
made no effort to protract the hearing ; and
the Commissioner decided that Reed should be
held in $ 2,500 to answer for his appearance
at tho next term of the Court. Philadelphia

Novel Balloon Ascension. A letter from
Fortress Monroe says: "Prof. La Mountain
made a novel ascension. He took his balloon
on board the steamer Fanny, and when she was
about mid-way the Roads ascended about two
thousand feet into the air, ropes attached to
the balloon still being held on board. The
steamer then started slowly down the river,
passing very near Sewell's Point and then a-
cross toward Pig's Point and Newport-News.
The reconnoissance was complete. La Moun
tain could look down upon their work at Sew
ell's Point finely, ne reports that behind the
line of woods which skirts this side of the
Point, the Rebels are working actively upon
batteries, and mounting guns which will be
made to bear upon the Rip-Raps, upon the
shipping, and the Fortress. There are a num
ber of encampments. When the Keneis saw
him nearly above them, they concealed them
selves as soon as possible in the works, and
watched him from behind them or the trees
near by. Other information obtained is not
made public. Tho method of the ascension
was entirely new, and the reconnoissance de
cidedly the most satisfactory cue, which, ha9

RETRIBUTION IN VIRGINIA.
Virginia, more than any other State in, or
at present out of the Union, is responsible for
the heresies which underlie the present re
bellion, and it is but a just retribution that
the chief weight of its chastisement should
fall upon her. The tendency of the extreme
doctrines of Virgini i on the subject of State
rights has been everywhere, and especially at
the bouth, instrumental in weakening the sen
timent ot loyalty to the National Government,
and paving the way to revolt against its au
thority. The idea of superior allegiance to
the State has for many years been a peculiar
feature of Virginia radicalism. Jenerson,
Madison, Monroe all her early statesmen de
nounced it as a fatal heresy, destructive to
the harmony and prosperity of the Union
But on the demise of these patriotic men,
Democracy ran wild in Virginia, and under
the influence of her new political leaders it
became a fundamental article of democratic
faith, that the allegiance of every citizen was
due first to his State, and that the residum of
fealty only belonged to the Union.
Upon this extreme doctrine of State Rights,
originated in Virginia, so far as it has any
pretence of foundation in principle, the pres
ent rebellion is based, and its leaders turn to
it as an excuse for their treason and a justifi
cation for their revolt. Though a hundred
times rejected and denounced by almost every
distinguished statesman and patriot ot tne
country, it has come to bo recognized as a
cardinal political truth by the demagogues
and leaders all over the South, and they use
it as a cloak for their ambitious and criminal
schemes for the destruction of the Govern
mcnt.
There is something almost romantic in the
retribution which has overtaken Virginia
She is made the first sufferer, as she will also
be the last, m a conflict which her folly aided
so largely in initiating, but which, neither
from her position nor her interests, legui
mately belongs to her. ner fields are tram
pled over by hostile Armies her homes are
disturbed by dread of outrage, and her soil is
being moistened by human blood. Her in
dustry is paralyzed, her commerce and her
trade ruined. She is made the battlefield of a
terrific struggle, in which, let who will tri
umph, she can only be a loser. One-half of
her territory has repudiated the authority of
the tebel leaders, and organized a loyal State
Government in their stead. She is trampled
over by her treacherous and false allies from
the South, and by the loyal forces from the
North. Her finances are utterly ruined, and
her credit destroyed, by being compelled to
bear the brunt of the rebellion. The debt un
der which she was staggering at the com
mencement of the revolt was all that the bent
backs of her people could bear, and the ad
ditional burdens, with the impoverishment
consequent upon her treason, will inevitably
force her into the infamy of repudiation. Her
distinguished men are over-slaughed by her
Southern allies, and her leaders, whose am
bition hurried them into revolt arc thrust into
a voiceless retirement. Gov. Letcher is cast
in the shadow of Jeff. Davis, and Lee is extin
guished in the superior glories of Beauregard.
Pigmy South Carolina and repudiating Mis
sissippi monopolize the honors which Mason
and Hunter thirsted to enjoy, while Virginia
is made the dray-horso to bear tho burdens
and receive the blows of the great rebellion.
"Rebellion" in a Territory. The Nation
al Inleligcncer says : While the Hon. Jefferson
Davis was Secretary of War under President
Pierce it will be remembered that the Territo
ry of Kansas was the theatre of grave politi
cal controversies, finally degenerating into
civil feud. The contest arose among the ad
herents of two Legislatures respectively as
suming to represent the people of that Territo
ry. 1 he body sitting at Lecompton was recog
nized by the administration of Mr. Pierce as
the only legitimate depositories of the legis
lative powers capable of being exercised under
the organic act constituting the Territory
The body sitting at Topeka was regarded as
revolutionary, and, as such, deserving to be
dispersed by the Federal authority. Under
these circumstances it was that on the 3d of
September, 1836, Mr. Secretary Davis wrote
as follows to Gen. Persifer F. Smith :
"The position of the insurgents is that of
open rebellion against the laws and constitu
tional anthorities, with such manifestations of
a purpose to spread devastation over the land
as no longer Justifies further hesitation or in
dulgence. Patriotism and humanity alike re
quire thai rebellion shouhi be promptly crushed."
On the same day he made a requisition on
the Governor of Kentucky for two regiments
to be mustered into the service, and to be at
the call of Gen. Smith. Then it. was right to
put down "rebellion" by arms, and to march
militia from other States to aid in enforcing
the laws.
Southern Brutality. The heart sickens
at reading such recitals as the following
Are these the men we are to treat with distin
guished consideration, and deal with as ten-
derl v as babes 7
"Mr. Collins, son of Dr. Collins, a noted
Methodist who escaped from the South some
time since, relates the following : MissGiern
stein, a young woman from Maine, who had
been teaching near Memphis became an ob
ject of suspicion, and left for Cairo on the
cars. One of the firemen overheard ber say
to some Northern men : 'Thank God, we shall
soon be in a land where there is freedom of
thought and speech.' The fellow summoned
the Vigilance Committee, and tho three
Northern men wercstripped and whipped till
their flesh hung in strips. Miss G. was strip
ped to her waist and thirteen lashes given her
bare back. Mr. Collins says the brave girl
permitted no cry or tear to escape her, but
bit ber lips through and through. With bead
shaved, scarred, and disfigured, she was at
length permitted to resume her jonrney to
ward civilization."
Pay of the Rebel Army. The Colonels
get $174 permonth; Lieutenant Colonels $170
per month; Majors, $150 per month; Cap
tains, $100 per month ; First Lieutenants, $90
per month ; Second Lieutenants, $80 per
month; Sergeants, $14 per month ; privates,
$11 per month, with yearly allowance of cloth
ing, and one ration per day. Quartermasters
get the same as Captains ; Commissaries get
the same. The southern papers state that
many of the officers and men are serving with
out pay.
Norfolk Navt Yard. The Official Corre
spondence respecting the burning of the Nor
folk ship-houses, and sinking ot the fleet there,
has just been published. It appears that to
Commodore McCauley's cowardice or treach
ery, tho country is indebted for that terrible
oss for the greatest of the calamities that
have befallen the country since the commence
ment of the war being the abandonment of
the cannon at Norfolk Navy Yard.
Defeat or James B. Clay. Few tears, we
feel certain, will be shed at the announced
defeat of James B. Clay, apostate son of the
illustrious "Harry of the West," as member
of the State Legislature. Judge Buckner, a U
nion man, outrun Mr. Clay between five and
six hundred votes. David had his Absalom
and Henry Slay his James B., who lua already
met bis doom iu popular estimation.

Washington , August 8, 18G1.
General: The important question of the
proper disposition to be made of fugitives from
service in States in insurrection against the
Federal Government, to which you have again
directed my attentiou in your letter of July
SOth, has received my most attentive considera
tion. It is the desire of the President that all ex
isting rights in all the States be fully respected
and maintained. The war now prosecuted on
the part of the Federal Government is a war
for the Union, and for the preservation of all
the Constitutional rights of States and the
citizens of the States in the Union. Hence
no question can arice as to fugitives from ser
vice within tho States and Territories in which
the authority ot the Union is fully acknowl
edged. The ordinary forms of judicial proceedings,
which must be respected by military and civil
authorities alike, will suffice for the enforce
ment ot legal claims. But in States wholly or
partially under insurrectionary control, where
the laws of the United States are so far oppos
ed and resisted that they cannot be effectually
enforced, it is obvious that the rights depen
dent on the execution of those laws must tem
porarily fail, and it is equally obvious that
the rights dependent on the laws of the States
within which military operations are conduct
ed, must be necessarily subordinate to the
military exigencies created by th insurrec
tion, if not wholly forfeited by the treasona
ble conduct of the parties owning them.
To this general rule, the rights to services
can form no excepticn. The act of Congress
approved August 6tb, 1861, declares that if
persons held to service shall be employed in
hostility to the United States, the rights to
their services shall be forfeited, and such per
persons shall be discharged therefrom. It
follows of necessity that no claim can be re
cognized by the militaryauthorities of the U-
nion to the services of such persons when fu
gitives.
A more difficult question is presented in re
spect to persons escaping from the service of
loyal masters. It is quite apparent that the
laws of the State under which only the services
of such fugitives can be claimed, must needs
be wholly, suspended as to remedies by the
insurrection and the military measures nesess-
itated by it, and it is equally apparent that
the substitution of military for judicial rueas
uros, for the enforcement of such claims, must
be attended by great inconveniences, embar
rassments and injuries.
Uuder these circumstances, it seems quite
clear that the substantial rights of loyal mas
ters will be best protected by receiving such
fugitives, as well as fugitives from disloyal
masters, into the service or the Lotted bUtes,
and employing them under such organiza
tions and in such occupations ns circumstan
ces may suggest or require. Of course a rec
ord should be kept, showing the name and de
scription of the fugitives, the name and the
character (as loyal or disloyal) of the master
and such facts as may be necessary to a cor
rect understanding of the circumstances of
each case. After tranquility shall have been
restored upon the return of peace, Congress
will doubtless properly provide for all the
persons thus received into tho service of the
Union, and for a just compensation to the lov
al masters. In this wa only, it would seem,
can the duty and safety of the Government,
and the just rights of all, be fully reconciled
and harmonized.
You will, therefore, consider yourself in
structed to govern your future action in res
pect to fugitives from service, by the princi
ples herein stated, and will report from time
to time, and at least twice in each month,
your action in the premises to this department
You will, however, neither authorize nor
permit any interference by the troops under
your command with the servants of peaceful
citizens in the house or field; nor will you in
any way encourage such servants to leave the
lawful service of their masters ; nor will you
except in cases where the public safety may
seem to require it, prevent the voluntary re
turn of any fugitive to the scrvico which he
may have escaped.
I am, General, very respectfully, Your obe
dient servant, Simon Cameron, Sec. War.
Even those who are in tho enjoyment of perfect

TT OS TETTER'S' STOMACH
IX B I T T E R S.-The proprietors and
Manufacturers of HostettcS Celebratetl Stomach
Bitters can appeal with perfect confidence to phy
sicians and citizens generally of the United States,
because the article has attained a reputation here
tofore unknown. A few facts upon this point will
spenk more powerfully than volumes of bare asser
tion or blazoning puffery. Tho consumption of
llostetter s fctomach Hitters lor tne last year a
mounted to over a half-million bottles, and from
its manifest steady increase in times past, it is ev
ident that during the coming year the consump
tion will reach near one million bottles. This im
mense amount could never have been sold but for
the rare medicinal properties contained in the pre
paration, and the sanction of the most prominent
physicians in those sections of the country where
the article is best known, who not only recommend
the Ditters to their patients, but are ready at all
times to give testimonials to its efficacy in all c;i
sesof stomachic derangements and thediseases re
sulting therefrom. This is not a temporary popu
larity, obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way
of trumpeting the qualities of tho Bitters, but a
solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, which
is destined to be as enduring as time itself
Ilosfcttcr's Stomach Ditters have proved a God
send to regions where fever and ague and various
other bilious complaints have counted their vic
tims by hundreds. To be able to state confident
ly that the 'Bitters' are a certain cure for tho Dys
pepsia and like diseases, is to the proprietors a
source of unalloyed pleasure. It remove all mor
bid matter from the stomach, purifies the blood,
and imparts renewed vitality to the nervous sys
tem, giving it that tone acd energy indispensable
for the restoration of health. It operates upon
the stomach, liver, and other digestivo organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores them
to a condition essential to the healthy discharge
of the functions of nature.
Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily a3 per
directions on the bottle, and they will find it a
stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining
years, as it is pleasant to tho palato, invigorating
to the bowels, excellent as a tonic, and rejuvena
ting goncrally. Wo have evidence of thousands
of aged men and women who have experienced
the benefit of using this preparation whilo suffer
ing from stomach derangements and general de
bility; acting under tbs advice of physicians,
they have abandoned all deleterious drugs and
fairly tested the merits of this art.ic-lc, A few
words to the gentler sex.. Thcro are certain pe
riods when their cares are so harrassing that many
of them sink under the trial. The relation of mo
ther and child is so absorbingly tender, that the
mothor, especially if she be young, is apt to for
get her own health in the extreme anxiety for her
infant. Should the period for maternity arrive
during the summer season, the wear of body and
mind is generally aggravated. Here, then, is a
necessity for a stimulant to recuperate the ener
gies of the system, and enable the mother to bear
up under her exhausting trials and responsibili
ties. Nursing mothers generally prefer the Bit
ters to alt other invisorators that roceive the en
dorsement of physicians, because it is agreeable
to tne taste as well as certain to give a permanent
increase of bodily strength.
All those persons, to whom we have particular
ly referred above, to wit : sufferers from fever and
ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery, in
digestion, loss of appetite, and all disease.-? or de
rangements of the stomach, superanuated inval
ids, persons of sedentary occupation, and nursinz
mother;, will consult their own physical welfare
by giving to Uostettcr's Celebrated Stomach Bit
ters a trial.
Caution. We caution the public aeainst usinir
any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
for lostettrrs Celebrated Stomach Bitlerx, and see
that each bottle has the words "Dr. J. llostetter's
Stomach Bittersr' blown on the side of the bottle,
and stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork.
and observe thataur autograph signature is on the
label. E-Prepared and sold by Hosteller Smiti
Pittsburg, Pa., and sold by all druggists, grocers,
and dealers generally throughout the United
Stages, Canada, South America, and Germany.
