KlLLED.—Augustus Singer, Veteran
Volunteer, of the 12th Pa. Cav. and son
• of Rev. Jacob Singer, late of this place,
Was killed on the 10th inst., in a charge
made by part of the 12th llegt. through
Frederick City, Md.
Sfif" Gen. Johnston has been releived
from the command of the rebel army in
front of Sherman, and Gen. Hood assign
ed to it. The Richmond papers growl
considerably, alleging- that it is an ap
pointment not fit to be made.
The f'.loctlon!!
Recollect that Tuesday nest, being the
2d of August, is the day on which you
arc called upon to say whether the soldier
who is periling his life for his country,
shall have a vote in the shaping of its
policy. Let all goto the polls early! and
mark the man who will not vote for this
amendment to our Constitution.
tkg" In the last Citizen we said to the
citizens of the county that we were still
engaged in recruiting a company of vol
unteers for the one hundred day service,
and that we expected to leave in about
ten days from that time, From many
parts of the county we have'that encour
agement which fully assures us that we
could have a full company in a very few
days. We have over fifty men enrolled
who arc waiting, willing and ready togo;
but in view of the fact that a call lias been
made for five hundred thousand men for
one, two or thrco years, and the quotas
of the different districts are to be filled by
the 6th of September, at which time if
the men are not forthcoming a draft will
take place for one'year, we have conclud
ed to stop recruiting for the one hundred
<fhv service, for the present, in order that
our county and the different sub-districts
thereof may the better be enabled to fill
their quotas; at the end of which time,
if 100.day men should still be wanted by
the State or National Government wo will
rehew our cffurt; and 1 take this oppor
tunity of returning my sincere thanks to
those who have enrolled their names, and
to those who have lent their influence in
our behalf, and exerted themselves in the
good cause. C. E. ANDERSON.
jr*T' r rovost Marshal Fry announ
ces that orders to carry out the law
in relation to recruiting in rebellious
States are in press, and will be brought
to completion as soon as possible.

Wo have been furnished the fol
lowing extract of a letter addressed by S.
Foster "V!' Bride, Hospital Steward. F. S.
A., to his father in this borough, dated:
F. S. (IENKIIAL HOSPITAL,
FREDERICK, MD., July la, I$G4.
"I will attempt to give you an inade
quate description of what has traflspired
in this vicinity since I last wrote. As is
our custom at this Hospital, to give a large
dinner every holiday, we were busily pre
paring for the -4 th. A large awning had
been erected and furnished with scats, ca
pable of seating five hundred persons—
a stage erected for the speakers—a brass
band engaged for the occasion; programmes
printed for the day—anything and every
thing palatable that the market could af
ford, was purchased, and in fact, every
thing augured well for the .pleasure and
enjoyment of the inmates of the Hospi
tal, Rut our labors were all in vain. For
a number of days previous, rumors had
been current that the Rebels in large force
were moving down the valley, and the oc
cupation of this place by thAn seemed to
be a fixed fact in the minds of this com
munity. On the 3d, (Sunday ) SSO pa
tients arrived here from Martinsburg. Va..
indicating that something of a serious na
ture was transpiring in the valley. Of
this number 400 were able for duty, and
who skedaddled before they- saw the ene
my. They were nearly all from different
Ohio Militia regiments, for 100 -days.
Immediately on their arrival here, they
were examined by our Surgeons, and those
pronounced fit for duty were to be sent
under guard to their regiments, but un
fortunately communication between Mar
tinsburg and this place ceased in the even
ing, and we were compelled to keep them
that night. The next day, however, (the
4th,) they; were sent to Annapolis, when,
on arriving there,\they were assorted, and
those able for duty, including a number
of officers, were placed under guaid.—
A\ hat disposition has been made of them
lam not able to say. These men should
be made to suffer the penally of coward
ice. By their actions they bring flishon
,or on themselves, their families, and on
their State, which haa alwavs so uobly
and willingly furnished men aud means to
help crush this cursed rebellion.
The 4th, instead' of being a day of
pleasure and recreation, was converted in
to one of labor. The Commissary^Quar
termaster, aud a great portiou of Hospi
tal stores were removed; horses and stock
were taken to Baltimore, and men liable
•to conscription skedaddled by scores.
evening of the sth, everything
wa« as quiet as a Sabbath's worn ; mer
chants had thoir gattis stoweti awav. and
busitec* was tfafur^m/o.
Thus, time passed away, ruuiors being
current tiint the enemy were still advanc
ing, hut nothing definite could be ascer
tained fs to their whereabouls, until Thurs
day morn, (the 7th) they advanced about
fe,ooo Cavalry, and one battery of artille
ry, within half a mile of the city. Our
forces did not exceed 2,500, however they
met the enemy, and a brisk skirmish was
kept up until dark, neither party advanc
ing or receeding. During the night, the
enemy withdrew and fell back to their
main body, which was then about four
miles from here.
On Friday, one division •of the 6th
Corps of the afmy of the Potomac arriv
ed here, and our forces occupied the rtty
during the day. no demonstrations being
made on part of the enemy. In the even
ing our forces, numbering then
10,000, retired three miles east of the
city, crossing the Monocacy, over which
is constructed, probably the largest bridge
on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. We
may well say, " in the midst of peace we
are in war," for we retired that night"iu
Yankcedom, and the next morning
in Rebeldom. At (j o'clock, a.m., of the
9th. the enemy's skirmishers entered the
city, «nnd by 11 o'clock their army had
come up and occupted the place. An at
tachment of 8200,000 was made on the
city, which was readily paid. Plunder
ing was strictly forbidden, and I must say
the discipline in their army was excellent.
No stragglers were to bo seen lurking
around coiners or grog shops; no carous
ing or drunken fights occurred in the
streets', and citizens were unmolested. ]
saw their force, and estimated it. as oth
ers, about 30,000 strong, composed of In
fantry, Cavalry, and Artillery. All the
damage done to the Hospital, was taking
about one half of our medical supplies,
leaving our commissary stores untouched.
The Rebel force waff commanded by
General's Early. Ewall, Breckinridge and
Johnson.
On the afternoon of the oth, they met
our forces at the Monocacy, when a sharp
fight was kept up allthc afternoon, which
lesulted in severely punishing the enemy.
On the afternoon of the 10th, two com
panies of the 12th Pa. .Cavalry, charged
through the city, completely routing about
300 rebel - cavalry. Captain M'Donncl
led the charge, and was wounded twice.
He is at present in the Hospital, and
hopes for his < safety arc anticipated.—
What the enemy's movements were after
they left here. 1 am unable to say. as we
have been cut oft" from -all communica
tions. We have upwards of 400 wound
ed rebels," and about 170 of our men ifl
the Hospital at present. More again."

.NASH VII.r.K ORPHANS.
Owing to the indisposition of Kev. Mr.
Rolls, of the Farm .School, and the con
sequent delay of his journey some two
weeks, a large number of orphan children
at Nashville had been removed North by
the agent of some New York Society, a
few days before our brother reached Nash
ville. Circumstances connected with the
removal of these children—which we need
not mention—had greatly excited the com
munity; and it has been determined by
the loyal citizens that no others should be
sent out of the State. Persons had also
been appointed to obtain funds from the
East to support all such children, in or
near Nashville, in some enc of the build
ings abandoned by disloyal owners in the
rebel army. Accordingly, lino. .1 lolls
did what lie could to co-operate with this
praiseworthy undertaking,and after many
experiences of the desolations of war and
of the efforts which arc uiade by the
Christian and other Commissions to mit
igate its sufferings and remove its miser
ies. he rcWrned safely to the Farm School
at Zelienoplc. Though natuaally disap
pointed with the result, the journey and
the experience were not in vain; and we
hope, in the future, to be able to chronicle
some hopeful event from this unexpected
issue. We have, at least, "doue what we
could," and now leavo all the issues in the
hands of God.
FIRST ARRIVAL OF ORPHANS FROM THE
SOUTH.
Shortly before the departure of Rev.
Mr. Holls for Nashville, wo.received let
ters from llcv. A. 11. Waters, of Prospect,
Pa., who was then at Memphis, Tenn.,
laboring in the hospitals in the army, un
der the auspices of the Christian Com
mission. In these, there was frequent
reference to the sad condition of the
refugees, aud the pitiable state of some
children among them who had lost their
parents by disease, exposure, or the fiend
ish cruelty of the rebel guerrillas. Meet
ing soon after a leading citizen of Mem
phis. ho kindly agreed to co-operate with
l#o. Waters in the holy work of rescu
ing as many of these helpless little ones
as possible, and we immediately author
ized the latter to draw on us for 4lie nec
essary means to bring them to the Home
and Farm School. Most faithfully aud
laboriously did Rro. Waters seek after
these jioor victims of the war, extending
his search as far as Yicksburg, Miss, and
Little Rock and Helena in Arkansas.
Such, however, w#s the condition of not
a few of the children found—sick an.!
dying with meases, feavcr and various
other dreadful diseases -.that but tweht
could be safely brought along! Five oth
ers whom he had selected, had to be left
behind at one place, being unequal to the
journey! By the kindly aid of a Chris
tian lady from St. Louis, who was on her
way home from the hospital in Memphis,
Bro. Waters fiually succeeded in reach
ing Rochester, with his charge a week
ago. The children were immediately
transferred to the care of the sisters at
the Orphan's Home near Rochester, aud
the Farm School at Zelienoplo, They
already begin to show the influence of the
new order of things under which they
have come ; aud the power of soap and
water, pure air, and wholesome food Is
working a wondorous change tor the bet
ter. Their condition was truly indescri
bable ! Several are yet quite ill, and
one of the boys has already been Md%y
the aide of the quiet sleepers in the little
cemetery of Farm School! Poor child!
the iron hoof of war will, at least not now.
desecrate his peaceful grave,!
Though for the most part wholly illit
erate, the little new-comers are not with
out promise fbr the future. Some are
really bright children, but their conversa
tion is a curiosity. It is " i/'/irv thar,"
"ichar," "ytwn*,} "weens," "fotched
up," and similar " negro talk" to the end
of the chapter. A poor littlegirl, scarce
ly three years old, who had been adopted
by the soldiers, and lived with them in
camp, at first cried immediately for ' "ra
tions !" At last one of the friends caught
the idea that the child wanted ' crackers."
Sure 'enough, when the crackers were
procured, the poor thing was satisfied.—
The ''rations" aVe now regularly served,
and the tears are dried up.
Previously to"the arrival of these chil
dren, a numberof other orphans were re
ceived, and the unavoidable delay in the
erecttou of the new "family house," caus
ed no small discomfort and embarrass
ment to the dear friends at both Institu
tions. Isut we rejoice that, through di
vine goodness, they are all of one heart
and mind in reference to the clear Chris
tian duty of receivinuumd caring for these
poor victims of the mrv Will not Chris
tians elsewhere remember them likewise,
in their prayere, that the blessing of God
may ero\*# the work of faith and charity
in which fhey are engaged? Now thai
a commencement has been made in receiv*
iug these poor and dying orphan children
of (he South, who can tel' whore the
work will stop ? Oh, for faith, and pa
tience, and prayer to be equal to the du
ties of this earnest hour ! ,
A NEW LJF.I.I. FOR TIIK FARM SCHOOL.
The destruction of the fine bell of this
Institution when the main building was
donsumed, was a loss very painfully felt
alike by all the- inmates and the entire
neighborhood. The pleasant melody of
the old hell was the subject of many a re
gret, and the wish was often expressed
that some £o<«l fortune might again re
place our loss. Such an event has just
occurred, and we hasten to record the for-*
during our absence in the
same kind friend who has so
generously donated the first bell, in con
cert with seven other gentlemen ui'
Pittsburgh, purchased (ho la»ge and ele
gant bell which was cast for the late Sani
tary Fair, by 31 r. A. Fulton, of this city,
and very kindly donated it to the Farijj
School at Zclienople. The whole matter
was managed so quietly and done so hand
somely. that the bell was ringing out its
sweet sounds through the valley of the
Cannoqucnessing, before we even had an
intimatationon thesubjeet. Ma*y thanks
to these thoughtful friends for this new
token of their friendly co-operation!
Here is a stanza not found in Edgar A,

est is payable in gold, en the 3d day of March, 1364, was
$769,66.%000. The interest on this debt for tho coming
flcal year will be M0,^37,126, while the customs revenns
in gold for tho current fiscal year, ending June 30th, 18<M,
hw been Go far at a rate of over £100,000,006 per annom.
It will be seen that eren the 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 the tariff will doubtless raise tho annual
receipts from customs on the same amount of import*-
Uoa«, to 1160,000,000 i»r annum. *
