A random shot has unearthed the editor of the Volunteer, who comes out " flat footed" against any effort to form a Union ticket. He assigns two reasons for the course First, he is confident that the Democratic ticket can be elected, and—Second, he says We want our opponents to stand where they are—we will have nothing to do with them, except to expose the villainies they have been•guilty of. The people want information on these subjects, and we intend to gratify them as far as possible." Very well Mr. Volunteer. Crack your whip, and go ahead. "But remember, we want no vague charges, unsupported by facts. Your remarks are aimed at men now at. the head of public tiffairs who are honestly, as we behave, engaged in an earnest effort to preserve the trnion, the constitution and the laws, against a set of political rascals in the South, whose vaulting ambition prompts them to pull down the temple of our liberties, though they should be crushed in the fall. If these men are to be denounced as incompetent and fraudulent, their influence weakened, the confidence of the army in their cause put. in jeopardy thereby, it must be done . on evidence clear and umistakeable,or the men engaged? in it, will be held to a fearful re sponsibility in the future. SPIES NABBED On Wednesday, Gov. Curtin received a dis patch, stating that three men had crossed the Potomac, and went in the direction of Hagers town. •Information was given to the Mayor of Harrisburg. who had a police force in wait ng, at the Depot., on the arrival of the Cum- berland Valley train. The men were arrested, and gave their names as Thos. J. Carson, for merly of Mew York, lately - of Baltimore, - W. M. Pegram, of Baltimore, and W. J. Kelly, who claimed no particular residence. Carson. bad a pass from Gen. Jas. Cooper, Pegram one from W. H. Seward, both dated in June, and Kelly a pass signed by the British Consul at Cienfuegos. The men were searched; on Car son were found several passes signed by rebel officers, which he said he had got to enable him to see after his property. Pogrom had several letters addressed to residents in Bald-, More, from residents in Virginia, but they con tained nothing of a military character. Kelly was next searched ; being stripped to his shit t, nothing suspicious was found, and the Mayor was about eldsing the case, when one of the offi.-, oers imagining something suspicious about his shirt, ordered him to take it off. Kelly finding that ho was detected, turned pale and called for water. The shirt was filled with pockets on the inside, which were sealed up. , These were opened and found to contain an immense num ber of letters from the South—some from men in the rebel army to their friends in Baltimore —others to men in New York, and .e nutabob for Europe. In addition to this, there were various bills of sale, dated at Richmond, 'for pork and other artiolos, and large - packages of • money, principally in notes on banks , in the Confederate States. The money found on Kelly was deposited in the State Capital Bank, and the letters and papers were handed over to the Attorney Gen eral. The Secessionists were placed - in jail, where they will remain until the Federal au thorities take charge of them. Robbery In the Lend Letter Office. The Rev. Theophilus Fiske, a clerk in the Dead Letter Office, at Washington, has been detected in purloining money from the letters, and promptly discharged. Mr. Fiske had been elternatelfa Universalist preacher, an editor, O lecturer on Psychology, and perhaps, at all times a humbug. When he etttered the Dead Letter Offico t we do not know; but from the prominence give to it, by our neighbor of the Volunteer, in an edfinKial article this week, we deem it necessary to say that the Rev. The ophilus Fiske, is a democrat, that he always was a democrat and he always will be a dem ocrat, unless the Lord gives him grace for re pentance. What does It Plea n 1 The New York Day Book, an open and avowed sympathizer with Southern traitors, ill doing more to foster and prolong this rebel lion, than the most ultra secession • print in the South. So infamously traitorous bus it become, that the Grand Jury of New York have presented it as a public nuisance ; and yet, a large package of these papers were recently received by Mr. &Adler, the noting Poet Master at Hoguestown, for gratuitous oiroulatton. What does it meant Silver Spring is known to be the largest democratic township In the county.

On Monday last, the office of the Sentinel at Easton, was destroyed by a mob, on account of its supposed sympathy with the Southern rebellion. The member elect to Congress from that district (Col. Philip-Johnegn,) vas burned in effigy and made to show his colors. On Tuesday, the office of the Jeffersonian at West Chester, was also entered by six men. and all the type pitched into the street, there by effectually suppressing the paper. The whole affair was managed without noise or die turbauce. We have not Been a number of the Jeffersonian for months, but it is stated in other papers that it was strongly denunciatory of the policy of the Goverment. We are opposed to mob law under all cir. cumstances, and hope that no further exercise of it will be necessary, to convince men, who are in danger of letting their politics get ahead of their discretion, that in this hour of peril to the Union, there 771U31 be no divided North. AID AND COMFOUT.—The Breckinridge State Committee of New York met at Albany, on Thursday, and adopted a series of resolutions, against the course of the Administration; in favor of an armistice with the ribelsoind of a Convention for the adjustment of the national difficulties. They do not say how they pro pose to adjust these difficulties, but the infer ence is that the North is to consent to be bul• lied and subjugated I - 14 is just such meetings and such talk as this, that. gives the South all its strength. TOR TRAITOR DREORINRIDOE.- If Jcdm C. Breokinridge, the traitor and perjurer, who basely misrepresents the people of Kentucky in the United States Senate, had a particle of honor or self•respect, ho would now, since the people of old Kentucky haverpoltett; resign his seat and move his own carcass a little further South.

The portion of Pennsylvania, under that bill, is $1;950,000. in round numbers. 1t is optional with the State authorities to collect this for the Government or not. If the State authorities collect it, an abatement of 15 per cent. will be made; if not, the President will appoint Assessors and Collectors for assessing and collecting the full sum without abate ment. We can see no good reason why the State should not undertake the collection of this tax.. She has the complete machinery of as sesment anti col ection in her own hands, and can make the collection of it much-less burdensome and unpleasant to the people_ than - a - separate system would be on the part of the national government. The 15 per cent. abatement which will be made if' the State undertakes the collection, would reduce the tax to $1,656,000—but little more than the sum t o.v (virtually rnitt.d by State Tax. The valuation for State purposes, upon which the State Tax is levied, is $564. 000, 000. The tax on incomes and bank corporation profits, levied under this act 0 Congress. may fairly be eqimated to yield $356,000, leaving $1 300,000 to be raised on real estate, and a tax of 2f mills on the State valuation will yield that amount. If, thcrefgre, the State undertakes the collection of this tax , as she undoubtedly should do, it can be raised by a levy not exceeding 2i mills upon our present cal uation; while, if the task be pet into the hands of a swarm of national officers, we should have a new valoaCon, the annoyance of new asses Bora and collectors, and the assurance of heavier rates. , Thli national tax is confined to a tax upOn real estate and a tax, upon the incomes of persons•and corporations. The tax upon real estate is not fixed; thatott incomes is. i he latter is 3 per cent. upon the net profits of all corporations and upon all personal in comes over $BOO a year. The amount to be raised in each State is fixed by the law ; and after the tax on incomes is ascertained, in any one State, the remainder or its quota, whatever that may be, is to be raised by a levy upon real estate. Thus the quota_ of l'etinsylAania is $1,950,000, less the 15 per cent, if the State undertakes to collect it. I f the tax on corporation profits and incomes reaches $356 000, as we have estimated, the remainder will have to be borne by the own ere of real estate. The banltinT capital of the State is in round numbers, $20,000.000. if this yields 6 per cent. profit, say $1,560,000,a 3 per cent. tax upon that will yield $46,800 ; but a portion_of this is held out of the State, and Will therefore TO:15-1-We—centi—whielt--mity bring the amount up to 50,000. The prof its of other corporations will not, probably exceed that of the batiks ; and we may there fore set down $lOO,OOO as the probable a mount of the tax to be levied. by this bi' upon eorptrations. 11 - hat the tax apart incomes will yield it is hard to guess. The number of those whose incomes exceed $BOO is.comparatively and, in a State like Pennsylvania, very few will be found outside of the car. We have a-sumed that it will yield $236,000, annually, and that it will require very sharp assessing to tiling it up to $300,000. That sum pre supposes the existence of 10,000 persons in the State whose incomes average $l,OOO each, over and above the $BOO exempted from taxation ; and it will require sharper assessors than any the State has yet had to find that many. These, however, are mere speculations,— The tax has been allotted to the State and it will have to be paid ; and the question to be decided now simply concerns the most practicable, equal and least bur...kens - 6mi, methods of collection. It is a subleet for general consideration ; and we throw out our speculations for the purpose of eliciting the speculations of others. After a few days of a, paient calm, the pa pers of Monday brought startling intelligence to the effect that the. rebels were preparing their forces to invade Maryland, preparatory to an attack on Washiogtonr This idea was strengthened by the following order issued from the War Department. All commanders of regiments of volunteers accepted by this Department, in the States of Pennsylvania. New Jersey, New York, Con necticut. Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine and Michigan, will take notice of and conform promptly to the general order this day direated to the Governors of the States above named, which is as follows: To the Governor of the State of -: By direction of the President of the United States you are urgently requested to forward, or cause to be forwarded immediately to the city of Washington, all 'volunteer regiments'or parts of regiments, at the expense of the U. S government, that may be now enrolled with in your State, whether under your immediate control or by acceptances issued direct from the War Department, whether such volunteers are armed, equipped or uniformed or not. The officers of each regimental organization that may not be full shall have recruiting of at their several rendezvous, and adopt such other measures as may be necessary to fill up their ranks at the earliest date possible. All officers of volunteer regiments on their arrival shall report to the commanding general, Who will provide equipments and other sup plies necessary for their comfort. To insure the movement of troops more rapidly than might otherwise be done, you will please con.:' fer with and aid all officers of independent re giments in such manner as may be necessary to effect the oliject in view. Clothing or sup• plies belonging. to or contracted for the several regiments shall beforwarded to Washington for their use, detailed reports, of which shall be made to the commanding general. This order addressed to the Governors of the 9.lveral Slates named, has met with A—hearty and prompt response. ,In Philadelphia, the headquarters of the different military organi zations evinced great.activity, and the work of recruiting for the regiments now tot ming, pro gretmed rapidly. No doupt theorder, whether Washington 'lain immediate danger not, will have the effect of placing in the bands of the Commander•in•Chief, a large force of men to be organized into regiments and brigades for efficient service: " From other portions "of the country, the news is equally encouraging, as may be seen by the following despatches: NEW Ironic, Aug. 10:—Over 600 men re sponded at roll-call of the Ellsworth Fire.Zeta ayes to day, and men are continually reporting themselves. A re-organization of the tee-, ment will be effected without difficulty. There are now forty-eight regiments form ing in this city. Several are full, and the rent average from 200 to 600 men eaob.

ARREST OF A ROBBLIL—Our readess will remember that. last week some robber broke into the warehouse of Henderson & Reed, and blew open the safe, from which they abstracted about $25 in money, a note of hand, a check and some other papers. NO trace of the robber was found until yesterday. On Wednesday night, the warehouse of Oaks & Austin, at Greencastle, was forcibly entered, the safe broken open, and some money and a tided taken from it. after which the building was-set•on fire. Two suspicious looking men had been seen at. Greencastle during the day, rend the party in pursuit succeeded in captu • ring on- of these men, the other escaped. On searching the prisoner, the deed and a five lollar note were found on his person. and i lentitied by Oaks & Austin. as having been in their safe, fixing the guilt of this crime on him oeyond a question, and they also found on I,tint the missing check and note of Henderson Sk. Reed's, which renders it very certain that to and his Companion were guilty of ,the re cent robbery here Ilisans have . been taken to arrest his accomplice, but it is feared he has made good his escape DICKINSON COLIAOE.—This venerable institution has done something in vacation, as well as in term, to earn a claim to public favor. It is known that for some weeks, a part of East College has been used as a hospital for the sick soldiers of the 14th and 15th,regi meets. The men needed better acoommoda Liens than could be found at private houses, and the public rooms of the College were promptly opened to them. The three largo and well-ventilated lecture rooms communica ring with each other, were found to be admir ably adopted to the object; and one of the Professors kindly opened his office, adj•rining the lecture room, for the convenience of phy sicians and nurses. The ladies of the town furnished mattresses, changes of linen, and every attention that could minister to the com fort of thesick. The soldiers are all gone now, and the rooms have been thoroughly renovated, though there has not been, at any time, any contagious disease among tWm. The regular Fall Session will open on Thum day, the 12th of September, with encouraging prospects, considering the unsettled state of the times; and it is to be hoped that the influ once and usefulness of the College will not be seriously affected. St_LDIER'E RELIEF COMMITTEE.—The Board of Relief, for this County, as constitut ed by the late act of Assembly, will meet at the Commissioner's office, on the srst Monday of_Bepteln.bOLASVv_bick. expected that the several township committees will be ready to report. This is an important matter, on which de pends the health and comfort—nay, the very subsistence—of the wives and children of those who are in the field battling for the Union; and no reflecting mind can be insensible to the claims which these helpless persons have now on the community; they have lost, for a time, the support and protect ion of these on whom they were dependant ; and it is incumbent on the people at home to see that they are well cared for. CAPT. HASTINCIS.—WB are glad to learn that this gallant officer has been elected Colonel of the new Cavalry Regiment,PeDn eyltrania Reserve Corps ; and congratulate the regiment on haying a man to bead them so by year* of Antivo worvico Col. Hastings served in the Florida war, and also in Mexico, where he was attached to the corps or Sapporo and Miners, : under the present Gen; McClellan- - In that Campaign he was severely wounded and " won his spurs" by hls gallantry. Since then he has been actively engaged In frontier service until recently, and we have no doubt that under his care, this regiment will soon " become effective in point of discipline. TREATMENT OF SOLDIERS.—A Board of Examiners has been constituted st Wash ington, by order of the War Department, to examine all officers as to their military quali• fications, and those who are found deficient are permitted to resign. This regulation ie well calculated to promote the efficiency of the army, but it does not go, far enough.. It ought to be known whether these would-be officers have the disposition and ability to take proper care of their men, or else learn them to take care 'Of themselves. The case of the two regiments recently encamped here is in point. The men arrived, travel-stained, dirty, "unkempt and unwrshecV and Mev re mained so. The officers, with a few exceptions, boarded at the hotelit, while the men were .suffered to " lie around loose" on the pave ments, or sleep in the camp, just as they. pleased. The result of this inattention and relaxed discipline, was the severe illness of about seventy of the men, who were removed to temporary hospitals in town, consigned, to the care of our citizens, without adequate' provision for their support or medical attend ance. And when their pay was received, these officers vamosed in " double quick," unmindful of the claims which a military companionship of three months, had imposed on them. Such conduct is without excuse.— The captain of, a company should consider himself the father of his men; and the officer who takes occasion to shirk that responsi bility is unfit to command. The following card shows that the men at least, of these regiments, are not ungrateful: A CARD. The undersigned takes this method of ex pressing, on behalf of the 'sick soldiers the many and heart fell thanks to the citizens of Carlisle, for the kind attention given to them in time of sickness. when away from their friends and home. Especially to the ladies is by far the largest share of praise due for their noble and self-sacrificing labor in ministering to the wants of the sick volunteerti.' Where so many helped, individual praise would be out of place, and therefore the ladies of tine town will accept the thanks thus expressed, as the only reward that can he given for their timely, kind, Christian minisirations, which will always be pleasantly remembered. - Car lisle and its ladies shall never be forgotten.
