It is true that . a 'few trees, shrubs, flowers and blades of grass' give some little token of it; but the -het dusty streets, close atmos phere mid horrible smells are a surer index. Broadway ,will do in winter, with the gay dresses of the ladies, the gaudily painted omni busses and the flaming shop windows; but in the spring give us "rocks, waters, woods," fields of grain and clover, fruit trees in blossom, flower gardens in full bloom, and road side grass. By the bye, what has become of the fulfil ment of, the prophecy about the grass growing in Broadway %% hen The South would secede. -Our Southern brethern - have seceded, and the grass g tows not yet in Broadway. Alas for the prophets, in their Own country 1 The ten cent Omnibujjtre was, ma we ex pected; a failure. The great Unwashed as well as the washed refused to pay the Villainous _price'; and the unwonted sight of empty stages was seen on Broadway. A great moral victory was won by the sovereign people, and' six cents is once more the charge per half hour for the privilege of being squeezed, trampled on, and mothered in concert with from twelve to eigh teen of Vteir misguided fellow beings. One meets with strange adventures sometimes in these van — nosingone's pocket-book, fur in stance, is quite exciting; so is the occasional 'striking of hobs and falling of horses. _ A small man is eictisable for a feeling of desperation when engulphed in the crinoline of a lady on each side. - To have a. fat lady on the ~ one hand and an angular one on the other is still more distres‘sing, the meeting of the two extremes through his body is, to say the least; unpleasant, worse than . to have a barbed arrow piercing the left and a mustard plaster on the right shoulder, the faint, roast beef, greasy, istty feel balanced by the vulture-beak sen sation. But when a fellow gets sandwiched between two plump, pretty lassies, the one with blue eyes. and golden hair, the other -with briiwn eyes and chestnut locks, then,' then • comes the tug of war. - Every` jolt of the stage sways him to and fro like a spoon between two pyramids of blanc mange.— If 'yon happen to be old or irascible or corned, take care of your toes ; if amiable, don't let an 4:11d- lady of two hundred (pounds of course) sit on your lap. If your clothes. are new, don't Mike on your knee a' juvenile - witha fresh gin gbiecake in his hand ; if yout: habilaments are iturbby, don't mind an occasional look of scorn from those who are well dressed ; . if - yon want fun, watch a lady getting into the door, partic ularly if she has three or four bundles and an umbrella in her arms ; and - if you wish your hair to - stand on end, see an Englishmin try, on pretext of stopping the stage, to Pull the driver's leg ind body through the little round six inch hole in front. At - times the drivers will swear, give the wrong change, or forget it altogether. Should you drop your change, you must never attempt to hunt for it, for it is very trying to stoop down and hunt through some thirty gai ters and hoots for a few five and ten cent notes. Bearyour loss like a man, and be more care ful next time. Never argue with a Jchu, particularly if he's from a well known island west of Great Britain. ,Pray without ceasing, keep year temper, wear strong, simple, neat, plain attire, pay the exact fare, look at and talk to nobody, keep your left hand on your pocket bOok, pay uo attention to insults or 'blandishments, be sure you know where -you intend to alight, don't go 'to sleep, be pleased or tiightened at nothing, attempt not to stop a *sing stage with your elbow or head, never make your exit face foremost or beforeyou have come to it halt,' avoid the mud, look well to -it that the stages in your rear don't pass over your prostrate body. tuce for the side walk incenti- neatly—treasure up all these premutiohs in yottriiii;art, and in due course of time, after lo:a of 'till* and treasure, and a .leg, perhaps, you will be able to travel on Broadway with ease to yourself and comfort to others. Little thought we to spend so much time on this subject, but the truth is, we have been passing such nn amount of I timelftely in_ omnibuses, that we /lave been run away with—the theme opens np such a field for thought, for reflection, for philosophizin,g. We often think of what a pimis old friend of ours once said as le picked him- self up out of an upturned stage—" I'd rather take -Fharoah's clam& in the Red Sea; any time, than ride the length of Broadway in au omni bus." Not too strong a rennet*, but slightly exaggerated. We wish we could say- something about the Fair, our Fair, the Fair to be held in Chant bersburg the 13th of June next, for the bene of the Christian Commission, that would giie new energy to the, energetic and stir up the lukewarm: notibthws many .may think our Fair small in comparison with those held at Chi cago, Brooklyn, New York, etc.; but the-fact is, it Will not be small for Chambemburg. There is an influence and a heartiness at work that will cause our Fair to compare favorably, for our means, 'with those of much greater:preten= I ..sionsl We know full well what our town has already done for the good eatu3e, that our houses have ever been open to the Union soldier, that we have already given more than our share, that 'we have nursed the sick and fed the hun- gry, that we have been robbed, by the enemy and insulted - by our Legislature, and last, but not least, that we are truly and heartily devak _ ted to our government. ,Come k fetus all join tether is one people, igno r i n g party lines, and each one lend all his might in aid of our bilave ;men in the field. They give their time, their t t or and their lives - ifir us; let us give them ur aid and sympathy. - We, in behalf of the m nagers of the Fair, respectfully ask every one help us. If there is a farmer who can . spare ut one egg, and but one potato, let us have it.: We wilt lake anything that can be turned into money. - Come and help us. Conie, oome; and when this unholy war is over, we oan all feel that we have dOne our share in pro ducing the glorious result—an undivided coun try, peace and prosperity, and freedom for all, Mill rich and poor, white and black, alike. Come, friends. lay aside for kday or two your business, and your selfish - concerns, and, for the honor of old Franklin, assist in raising a htindsorim con tribution for the. Christian Commission, to be used for the cOmfo — it of the defenders of our homes, our lacris and oar national honor. A youthful, friend of ours baying undergone a medical examination by the Draft Surgeon, in formed us that the Doctor told him he had "An gelina pectoris.", Poor fellow, guess he must be in love ! it REBEL SPY Snor AXD CAPTURED.—On Friday last, Mr. Latshaw, the caroling officer ior Franklin township, Adams county, met a suspicious looking character on the road, and questioned him as to his residence. He an-• swered that he resided in that township, but When interrogated as to the names of his neigh bors, he found that-Mr. Latshaw was likely to detect him and he said he had made' a mistake —that he resided beyond Mereersburg. From his confused and Unsatisfitetorystatements., Mr. Latshaw felt s it his duty to arrest him, and lie did so. -The prisoner shade no resistance„-but proposed to walk back to New4.Salem ; but on the way he took the first favorithle opportunity to jump the fence and ran away. Thti officer pursued, and was joined by . the People of - the neighhorhOod ; and after a chase of about three hours,lhe was recaptured without being injured. Officer Latshaw _then bound his feet-together, and started for bharribersburg- to. deliver 'the prisoner to Capt. Eyster, the Provost Marshal. Latshaw and the prisoner were in a single seat ed buggy, and , Mr. 'Sloneker rode behind on horseback When in the South Mountain; the prisonermenaged quietly to get his feet loose, and when opposite a dense thicket of laurel, he sprang from the buggy into the bushes. Mr Sloneker fired at him and lodged a ball in his shoulder, making a slight wound, but it did no,t arrest the prisoner. Latshaw immediately jumped( from the buggy' and rushed ‘into the thicket after him, and - called to him twice to halt or he would fire; but' the prisoner contin ued to get away as fast 'as possible. Latshaw fired and struck him in the hip, shattering the bone badly, and of course arresting his prog ress. He at once called -out that he was mor tally wounded. Mr. Sloneker went up to him, while Latshaw pursued his horse, and the pris oner told him that he wasSatally injured—that he could not live long,_ and at once admitted -- that he was a rebel spy, and had met aj net fate. He gave his name us Lloyd,,and, stated that he had been in this section making observations for the benefit of the rebels. -He :is a man of about forty years of age, stoutly built, with dark hair and goatee, is quite 'intelligent, and has evidently not been a labor ing man. It is more than probable that he, is a rebel officer. On his person was lonia a belt with nearly $lOO of gold, and he had Chatta nooga and Virginia rebel money, and a little Pennsylvania currency. He represents him self as a native of Lee county, Virginia, but says that he has livedin Missouri for some years, and was about to return to. Lee county. He had a letter, with the date and place where it was written torn off, Which refers to a journey to be undertaken, and certain information to be conveyed; but it furnishes no clue to partieS in complicity with him. He had also a Cincin nati paper of the `..Bth ult. in his : pocket, from which we think- it probable that he passed through that place several weeks ago. He wail in this town a feiV days before he was arrested; tried to sell some gold at the Bank, and - very carefully scanned a map of the county hanging in the Bank. , thigh wound-is very serious, but not ne cessarily- mortal, and his recovery is altogether probable. Had Ilia wound been less dangerous, it might have been difficult to gather \ sufficient - evidence to warrant holding him as a spy, hut when he was shot he supposed he was about to die, and he admitted his purpose and business, frankly. He is now _ in the Hospital in this place, in the custody of Gen. Couch, and will,- we learn, be sent to Fort Mifflin as soon as he recovers sufficiently to be removed. Great credit is due Officer Latshaw and Mr. Slonaker for his arrest and delivery to the authorities at this place. We presume that Lloyd came into our lines through the Cumberland mountains, came East by way of Cincinnati, and inerio to escape through the Shenandoah E,DUCATIONAL.—Pursuant to notice the lyrunklin county Educational_Association met in Waynesboro' on the 11th inst. Organized by electing Messrs. Jos. Douglas, 'resident, and 1). 13. Russell and Joseph Eckhart, Vice Pres idents. From thirty to forty teachers were in attend ance heing'not more than one-fifth employed in the county. The English branches commonly tang in the public lschools" were taken up in t . regular order and discussed and in most ases classes were formed and by one ir more of the members. - The subject of Rending elicited more than ordinary attention. " Object Teaching " which is now being freely discussed particularly in the more Eastern States, gave rise tc , considerable animated discussion, teach ers manifesting.a desire to test new theories be fore adopting them : , Notwithstanding that attendance of Teachers and an extremely sparse audience, the meeting was one of interest. The President at' the close of the meeting, spoke warmly for the great cause of popular educe tion;a nd warned teachers at being discouraged at want of interest manifested by the people, gen erally in the education Of their offspring, that any undertaking having grelit.godd for its end, meets with the-same apathy.. The Superintendent, in behalf of Associ ation; thanked the President for his cheering words of encouragement. Among the resolutions adopted were the fol lowing: Resolved,_ That we consider obedience 'to law and order as a Christian duty, and believe all teachers should endeavor to instill this principle into the minds of the youth under their charge. Resolved, That our thanks are duo the Rev. Mr. Krebbs for his able address, to the gentlemen who presided overtho meeting, and also to- the " few" citizens who were in attendance.

CAVALRY.—Letters have been received in this place from a number of the gallant boys of .this famous Regiment, giving vivid and interesting accounts of the great raid tinder Gen. Kautz on the Peninsula, in which th-y were prominent participants. 'ln a letter before us, it h;" stated , that the 6"ni mind, numbering' ahouf twenty-right hundred, -approached within six miles of Riehmoud, over roads nut heretofore traversed by any of our troops, and greatly to the consternation of the inhabitants of that section. The destruction of property of various kinds by this raid is almost beyond computation, and the-raiders captured a greater number perhaps, of Ne,gioes, Horses, Mules, &c., than has been taken by any similar expedition since the commencement of the war. The results will be a severe blow upon the re bels; and will greatly asissit Gen, Butler in carrying out the purposes of his important campaign. ThOcommand were out fourteen days and are now safely encamped for arshort rest ut City Point. Among the cifsdalties sus tained -by the 11Th on the raid, we regret to record the death of George Elliott. son of Mr. Marion Elliot, of this.place, who v.-as killed by bushwhackers. • . , DELEGATES ELECTED.—By an arrangement made between the Delegates from this district in the Union State .Convention, the counties of Franklin turd Adams Were conceded one Dis trict Delegate to the National Convention. and the counties of.

THE POSTAL•MONEY ORDER SYSTEM—The bill to establish a Postal — Money Order system, has become a law. -Ins designed to facilitate and secure the transfer of small sums of money through the medium of the Post Office.
