Large <Joosel»erry. Hon. Jacob Meehling of our borough, lias shown us a Gooseberry of superior quality, which was grown on n small bush in his lot, this being the second year since planting. This berry measures 41 by 8} | inches in circumference, and weighs j oz. strong. Mr. Mocliling informs us that there were quite a number of equal size and weight upon the same bush. TH;AO. —We stated in our last issue, that Win. Ilea, Esq., of Adams township. | had met with a' terrible accident by a j Mowing machine. The facts as we sta- j ted were substantially correct, except that ' the accident occurred by a Heaping ma-, chine. One of his legs was amputcd be- J low the knee but all skill failed to save i his life. He died oil Saturday, the 1 <>tli ' inst., in the 47th year of his age. OaT" Our readers are referred to the : Partnership advertisement of ( j. (Rocs sing and George W. Kba. These gentle men have associated themselves together in the I'tulerttiking business. Geo. C. 1 Hoessing. Esq.. is well and favorably j known to the citizens of Bntler county ; j he is energetic and obliging, and is cm- j phatieally a business man ; whatever i entrusted to his care will receive prompt attention. Mr. Kba, is not so extensively known, but is respected and esteemed by ! all who have the pleasure of his acquain tance; he was a member of Co. C, 11th Reg!.. I'. It. V. served his full term of three years in-defense of his country, and is deserving of the confidence, es teem and patronage of the people. The business in which they arc engag ed is not connected with any other, and they will therefore be at liberty to give ! it their prompt attention. We recom- i mend them to the public. Give them a call. ililiiry. Tn the last issue of the Citizen, I men- ' tinned the fact that 1 had again ennclud- j ed to enter the army for a short time, and j called upon my fellow citizens to yolun- | teer; quite a number have enrolled their j names, and our numbers are increasing daily ; and we have favorable reports from different parts of the county, and all that appears to be needed, in order to fill our I company to overflowing, is, to give the | farmers and people of the rural districts, a few days to put up their harvest; this wc have Concluded to do, and in the mean time we request those engaged in raising recruits to continue in the good begun Work. Wc propose leaving for camp in flbotu ten days, by which time the great er part of harvesting will be over. And j we further request those engaged in rais ing squads of Won in tile different locali ties, to report their progress from time to time, in order that we Way know exactly how many men we may have, so that we 1 can nl:tke the necessary arrangements for transportation. Hie. When the company is full, we will notify all concerned by Hand Hills and otherwise, with regard to ! the time of rendezvousing add departure. In the meantime wo urge upon the 1 friends of the good cause, to exert them- ; solves, in order that they may be instru- j mental in tilling up the quota of our conn- | ty ; this can be done if the proper effort is made.

News from (J rant's department states ; Gen. Sheridan with his Cavalry force had 1 gone on another expedition, and that he j ! would be heard from in a quarter where i ,ho was not expected. The shelling of Petersburg was still progressing; our for-| j ees were throwing shells into the doomed ; | city, at the rate of 500 per day—a rather j warm place. It is reported that Sherman i has driven {lie Rebels into the fortifica- i | lions of Atlanta; and that lie has even I occupied the latter place, and that he had i taken several thousand prisoners. This [ |is thought to be premature. Dispatches j i from Louisville states that Kentucky is ! ! again threatened with invasion. Just as we arc going to press, wc have i i the news that the invasion of Kentucky j 'is unfounded. One hundred of the Reb- I ' id raiders were captured near Leesburg, I ! and 80 wagons filled with grain. The President has issued his I'rocla- ! ; mation calling for 500,000 men. and if j the quota is not filled by the 6th of Sep | tembcr. a draft for one year will lie made for all deficiencies; under this call men j may volunteer for one, two or three years. I.ate .liililnry liilelliKenee. It seems to be well authenticated that the rebel invaders have fled from Mary land and from the neighborhood of Wash ington. The attack on Fort Stevens, six miles above Washington city, on Monday | and Tuesday was to cover their retreat iu i to Virginia, and enable them to get away safely with their plunder. That they have succeeded in getting off with avast amount of plunder cannot be doubted, but it remains to be seen whether they arc permitted to reach the rebel hcadquar t ters in Virginia. Railroad and telegraph ic communication between Washington and Baltimore has been re-established. 1 On Saturday, a force of Wilson's cavalry arrived in Washington, were immediately mounted, and performed invaluable ser vice during the time the rebels were in the vicinity of the city. In the rebel at tack on Fort Stevens,on Monday, the vet- I | rans from the "fightingOth corps" came j I up,began to deploy as skirmishers, and ; i soon the rebels commenced falling back ; they were driven from their position, and j forced a mile and a half from the fort, in i ; the vicinity of'Silvcr Springs, the residence |of Mr. Blair. The rebels could not stand | their dashing, continuous fire. They knew them of old, and they gave way as \ they have often done before, j Major General Franklin, captured on (he cars on Monday, near Mognolia Sta tion, by the rebel Harry Giluiore, having , escaped from his captors, arrived safely in Baltimore, and is now stopping at Bar num's Hotel. The following are the par ticulars of Gen. Franklin's escape : Har ry Giluiore, with a party of cavalry num bering 150 men, having with them Major ; General Franklin and three of his- staft' as prisoners .Encamped at a late hour on ! Monday night on Oliver's farm, between | Randaltowu and Reistcrstown. General Franklin was ill the custody of Captain Nicholas Owen, of Baltimore county, front whom he succeeded in making his escape at an early hour on Tuesday morning. The forces of Gilmore remained all Tues i day in the neighborhood, scouring the hushes and woods and searching all the houses and barns, in the hopes of being able to recapture him. This was thestate ment they made to the people in the vi cinity, and the search was continued un til five o'clock on Tuesday evoniug, when they left on their way to the vicinity of W ashington, crossing the Baltimore and I Ohio Railroad near ElysVillc during last night. Threcof General Franklin's staff , arc still in the hands of the rebels. 1 FROM SHERMAN. —CoI. C. C. Smith, , of the 15th Ohio Cavalry, who left Sher ; man's advance Saturday 9th inst. has reached Cleveland. When he left prepa rations were making to cross the Chatta ? hoqehie. On Sunday Gen. Sherman tel egraphed oneof .his staff atN'ashville that the army was safely across the river, and within six miles of Atlanta. Col. Smith 1 says there is but little doubt that Atlan ta will speedily be ours, and thus the main business of the campaign be accomplish ' ed. The weather was exceedingly warm. : Communication between the army and its base is perfect, and supplies regularly re ' ccived. The Chattanooga Gazette, of Sunday, i says:—Unofficial advices have reached this city that a large proportion of Sher man's forces have successfully crossed the , Chattahoochie, and that at least two thousand of Hardee's corps have been A gobbled up by the great flanker. Indeed rumor sets the figures at not less than 5,- 000; but. as we never deal in sensations, we place them at 2,000. Johnston is still ' drawing" Sherman, lie will soon have him in Atlanta. Johns ton isgoodona "draw," but judgingfrom the books at the P. M. General's office, • he is losing a great many 1 - chips." Further advices fully confirm the cross ing of the Chattahoochie, and the secure . lodgment of our forces on the seuth side .' of that stream. We shall expect to hear of the fall of Atlanta within a few days. THE ESCAI'K OF GKN. TVLEU. —The facts connected with the General's escape • arc as follows : On Saturday, after our troops had re tired from the Monocacy bridge, Gen. Ty . ler and his staff made a stand on the hill . ! on the cast of the bridge, but were not there long before they discovered them . 1 solves to be surrounded by the rebels. . j The General and his party succeeded in I making their escape on the north side, . | closley pursued by the enemy, who fired [ upon them repeatedly, killing one of the I General's orderlies, a German. To this i fact the General attributes his escape, as. when the soldier fell from his saddle in ■ I the road, the pursuers stopped to see who . jit was, and to enquire if General Tyler i | was not of the party, etc. During this time the General reached a clump of woods ! and the three officers secreted themselves from their pursuers. A negro who was endeavoring to make i liise scape from the rebel lilies, pointed out | the way to the house of a well-known and patriotiecitizen of Frederick county,whoso I family wore unremitting in their attention ! to the fugitives, concealing them until ' Tuesday, when they took their departure \ for Frederick, which they reached early ! in the morning. sri:< in. \OTI4 I:N.

He sailed for America and lnn.led ih Now York, in ISIR, and during the months of October and November of that year, preached in Philadelphia.— Ahout this time he rnceive.l a call from congregation* in York county of this State, and wan disputed W accept of it and settle, but by solicitation of ROT. Dr. Gray, of Bal timore city, a near relative—he visited that city, in De cember of the same year, and wa* induced to come West. II ving crowed the Allegheny Mountains on horseback, he arrived iu the city of Pittsburgh, the 20th of Dec. Receiving appointment* from ltev. Mr. M'Klroy, to supply tho vacancies North West of the Allegheny river for thre'e months, he arrived in Butler two days before Christmas, and preached tho last Sabbath in Deceinbor, in the Court House. Butler, at that time, was almost u wilderness. On the 23d day of April, 1819, a call was made out for him by the United Congregations of Butler and White Oak Springs. This call was accepted, and af ter filling his other engagements, be tbok charge of these ■ little congregations as their Pastor, and preached the first ; sermon of his pastorage on the Ud Sabbath in May, 1819. ! The persons then composing the Church in Butler were one Elder and nine communicants; since then, there I hare been added to the church at Butler, White Oak Springs and Union, (tho field of his pastoral labors) I about eleven hundred members: besides multitudes of ! spiritual children—.born to Gud undtr his ministry, a.« it ; is hoped—colonies from these several branches have gone out, whose influence has bcon felt extensively in build iug up flourishing congregations In the great West. During a ministry ot over 45 years iu Butler county, he baptized about two thohsnnd children and adults, and joiuod *»Ter two hundred couples iu inan iage. For near five months previous to his decease, he had been unahle to preach owing to discflwe in his throat, and • ntlder this he gradually failed, until he 4 * fell asleep."— | Fully »ssnred, as he was mouths before his decease, that ■ be would not recover, he looked forward to death with ' calmnes* and composure, feeling that if the will of God | be so, ho was content; and almost his last expressed wUh j was, '• 1 desire to depart and be with Christ." j Dr. Niblock, was a minister of modest disposition and i retiring habits—not much known to the world, but be loved by all his follow ministers who knew him, and much ostceined among his pastoral charge. Of him it might bo said, he was ,4 a good minister of Jesus Christ," an able and faithful expositor of the word of God.— 1 Among the first of our miilisteis who settled North West I of the Allegheny river, he lived to see the church and the country grow numerous and prosperous around him, au<l as tho fruit of hia own labors many "added to the 1 chorvhof such as should bo saved." He loved the church 1 of which he was a minister—arduously and faithfully la ■ bored to maintain her principles and her purity, and the j work of the Lord prosper in his hands. His life was one j of self denial, labor, and useful new, esteemed in com ; munity, and beloved in the church, " accepted of the ! multitude of his brothcrn, seeking tho wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed." He died as he | had lived "iu the bonds of charity with all mankind, and i in hope of immortality beyond tho grave." A good j man—an able and faithful minister of Jesus Christ, he has now passed within the vail, to appear before the Lord and there abide forever. His memory will long he , cherished by an affectionate and mourning people thus . i bereaved of their venerable Pastor, as " one of those fow 1 immortal mm** Tbnt were Hot born to die."

These Bonds are issued under the Act of Congress of March Bth, ISO 4, which provid« s that all Bonds issued un der this Act shall be EXEMPT FROM TAXATION by or under any stato or municipal authority. Subscriptions to these Bonds are received in United States notes or notes of National Banks. They are TO BE REDEEMED IN COIN, at the pleasure of the Government, at any pe riod not Jr.-s than ten nor more than forty year* imm their date, and until their redemption FIVE PER CENT. IN TEREST WILL BE PAID IN COIN, on Bonds of not over one hundred dollars annually and on other Bonds semi-annually. The interest is payable on the first day* of March and September in each year. Subscribers will receive either Registered or Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered Bonds are record ed on tho books of the U. S. Treasurer, andean bo trans ferred only on the owner's order. Coupon Bonds are payable to bearer, and are more convenient for cemtncr- Subscribers to this loan will have the option of having their Bonds draw interest from March Ist, by paying tho accrued interest in coin—(or in United States note?, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty percent, for premium,) or receive them drawing interest from the date of subscription and deposit. As theso Bonds are Exempt from Municipal or State Taxation, their value is increased from one to three percent, per an num, according to the rate of tax levies in various parte of the country. At tho present rate of premium oil gold tltev pay Over Klgtit Per Interest in currency, and aro of equal convenience as a perma nent or temporary investment. It is believed that no securities offer so great induce ments to lenders as the varions descriptions of U. 8. Bonds. In all other forms of Indebtedness, the faith or ability of private*parties or stock companion or separate communi ties only is pledged for payment, while for the debts of tho United States the whole property of the country is holden to secure the payment of both principal and in terest in coin: Thcw Bonds may be Subscribed for in sums from SSO p to any magnitude, on the same terms, and are thus made equally available to smallest lender and the largest capitalist. They can be converted into money at any moment, and the holder will have tho benefit of tho interest. It may be useful to stato in this conncctidh that the total Funded Debt of tho United States on which inter est in payable in gold, on tho 3d day of March, 1564, was $708,066,000. The interest ou this debt for tho coming heal year will be $46,937,126, while the customs revenue in gold for the current fiscal year, onding June 80th, 1804, has been so far at a rate of over ?100,000,CC0 per annum. It will be seen that even tho present gold revenues of the Government are largely in excess of the wants of the Treasurer for the payment of gold Interest, while the re cent increase of tho tariff will doubtless raise tho annual i receipts from customs on tho same amount of importer tion?, to $150,000,000 por annum. Instructions to the National Banks acting a# loan agents were not issued from the United State Treasury until March 26, but in the first three weeks of April the sub scriptions averaged mot* than TEN MILLIONS A WEEK. Subscript ions will be received by the First National Rank of Philadelphia, Pa. Sccoud National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa. Third National Bank of Philadelphia, I'a.
