They are now snugly ensconsed in the case mates of Fort Warren, from whence we hope they will only be removed to figure on a scaf fold, or some such` congenial locality. More blatant, blustering treason than that of the bloated Virginitt'Senator, cannot well be hue gined. While John Slidell only excelled him In intrigue and wire-working. Slidell, in the Senate, was the Catalina of the southrons, while Mason did the bull-dog for the same Interest. There seems to us to have been a poetical justice in the fact of this arrest having been made by Lieut. Fairfax—himself a loyal son of that recreant Old Dominion, which produ ced this spawn of treason, James M. Mason. Verily, rebeldom received some hard knocks last week., BEAU FORT.—This District, as it iscalled in 8. C, is a county containing the follosing population. Total white population Free colored-. Total-Free population Slaves, About five slaves for every white inhabi tant. The farms average 3,000 acres, giving about 800 nabobs the control of the soil, one of the greatest curses of the slave system. The average is 40 negroes to each farm and only six horses, and mules to each 3,000 acres! It is a grand place to try the loyalty of the slave population to their masters and from the fact that thousands flocked to the Federal army with their bundles, it seems that they have an inkling that their rebel masters aro fighting against the Government, and that slaves may receive benefit by the arrival of Federal troops. &or Numerous complaints baying been made by our town subscribers, 'that they aro not served regularly, we have concluded to employ a new Carrier:who, we hope, will give general satisfaction. It is quite pos. Bible, that he may, at first, fail to find the rendenees of some. Any whd are thus neglected, will have the numbers supplied, and future regularity insured, by calling at the office.

The war cannot be long, it may be desperate," Wits the significant language of Gen. McClel lan. We have noticed tins particularly says the Boston Post, for the purpose of adding a few words of eneouragemo . nt and counsel to tho short, vigorous sentences of our already beloved chieftain. To those whose hearts have been wrungand whose eyes have been blinded by bitter tears, shed in remembrance of some proud, manly form that recently glad dened the fond gaze of maternal love or tow ered so protect ingly above the graceful figure of a sister, beautiful in her youth and inno cence, now lying cold and hideous on the blood soaked soil of "The Old Dominion,'' these words will come as balm to soothe and heal the bruised and bleeding heart by the hope they convey that soon men can turn from the fierce and eager prosecution of the war, to the more grateful task of counting up the nation's heroes and recording their names with those of the glorious freemen whose bones in '76 formed the foundation of the perfect structure of which the patriot bones of '6l shall make the apex. To men who have seen their princely for tunes, amassed by slow and arduous toil,'sap ped at their base by a treason as irrespective of persons in its results and as relentless as ,the grim and shadowy messenger of death; their "riches taking to themselves wings," their hopes of independence for children as dear to them as their lives, turned to the ashes of desolation and their eneity and spirit utterly broken by this 'gruel blow, this message will come fraught with new life, with promise of golden opportunities to repair in the few years left them the shattered ruins of once stately possessions, and he also who in an humbler sphere of life has lost the means of sustaining himself and his patient loving wife and children, who in the thoughtfulness of childhood clamor for the bread which God only knows when or where they will get, will take courage as the clear ling, as of polished steel, of McClellan's crisp end pithy eloquence sounds again and ng.tin iu hie ear, and with a new faith in God and his country will buckle on his armor to add his part towards hasten ing on the joyful consummation, and conSign lug the loved saes to the care of Him "with out whose knowledge not even a sparrow fall eth to the ground,''and trusting in the Go vernment as the instrument of "the orphan's Gud," will go forth to battle fur deathless truth. A. G. CLTRTIN The faint and weary hearted, to whom the bitter lessons in experience of (the last six (months have been but irremediable disasters and gloomy precursors of ultimate defeat, will gain unwonted strength and confidence from the bracing tonic of our gallant leader, and will see in past misfortune the guide to a sure and unqualified success. To all of our peo ple; of every cla - ss and of every age, from the venerable man whose heald, is crowned with silver, and whose eyes, (though dim to the scenes of the outer world, catch' glimpses of that fairer region where baleful ambition has no home; to the boy whose patriotism is in stinct, and who looks upon the war that is searing and blasting our once fair and happy I land, as a grand pageant of nodding plumes and martial drums; from the delicate woman whose trembling fingers ply the needle at un usual hours, that the sick and wounded soldier may not be destitute of little comforts - to - turn his thoughts tenderly towards dear ones at home ; to the trusting, soft-eyed maiden, who shrinks from all that is harsh or fearful, but brave in her love of country, sends forth her ardent lover to win hisfirst laurels in the field of Mars, the assurances of Gen. McClellan will 5,947 679' 6 529 32,279 be most welcome, and we trust and believe that all will make greater exertions than ever to render the war '.desperate" to those on whose guilty souls rests the condemnation of having brought this great evil upon us, for all will see that, as is our earnestness and de termination, eo will be the duration of the struggle. And while we accept file inspirating asser tions of our Commander, and are blessed and strengthened by them, let us not be so ungen- erous as to refuse bim all return; but let us reciprocate by giving Lim our fullest trust; and, above all, by an uncomplaining patience Let us firmly believe that he thoroughly ap preciates the magnitude of the rebellion and hiS own strength add resources ; and then if a week passeS, or a month., or even longer, without an advance of the army, let us believe that he hasiuiveirfis - frotn the risk of defeat to ensure us a victory the more complete and overwhelming from its careful preparation. Gov. Curtin Among the So-idlers The appearance of Governor Curtin among the soldiers of Cump Wayne, on Tuesday last, says the Chester County Times, and the enthusiasm and respect with which he was greeted ,lkyllte citizens and soldiers, brings up a few reminiscences of the present rebellion. which may not be generally noted in the his tory of the great struggle. But a few months have elapsed since we heard bitter denunoiations. of Gov,.....Curtin ' coming up from every quarter. So malignant, • were his o ricousers that they„did not stop at I his publindts, but even attacked his private character as a man and a citizen. IVo recei ved, we remember, several " right smart" re buffs for demanding simple justice for the Chief magistrate of, this great State, Wo be lieve iwe Were about the first wile so. far bra ved the universal °lamer, as to make than reasonable demand, and some of those whose minds are too meanly constituted to see any.: ' thing but bribery and corruption, wore anxious to know . "What we were paid for defending the Governor_." . _ We _disdained- reply to such insinuations. None but a man ready to be bribed and " fit, for treason stratagems and would'harbor the suspicion. We did not defend Gov. Curtin. Although wo kbow from our daily experience at the time,:that much we heard him accused of, was entfrely false although we knew he was working night and'clay, faitlifullyand tr. lonely', for the geed of the tiatiortfalthotigh we .kneW that: most dastardly attempts:Were: being made to ;injure .and.embarrasti him, and Litt admialstration,'by those highlUauthoritY out of th&State •,.! although we kbeW all this, ite7onlysash - ed that;GOIN - Curtia - ,shotild condemned •lieforethe of Jils guilt bad been. presented. .We asked for him, whatwo _ask for every loan. a fair : hearing..

So far from there be ing any proof of evil intent on his part, or justification on the part. of high officials set ting evil reports on foot, their pretended tes timony has failed, ha comes out of the inves tigations clear of all suspicion and triumphs over his enemies. Although we heard a dis tinguished member of Congress declare that "the life of Gov. Curtin would not be worth a -pin in a Camp of Pennsylvania soldiers," we have seen this same Governor go to the very camps alluded to, where the soldiers have re ceived him with open arms as their benefactor and friend ; all this after his enemies had rai sed a mad dog cry through the camp to poison (be minds of the soldiers. Now we do not claim perfection for Gov. Cuitin. That condition has not been attained by earthly Governors; but we claim to know something of the Chief magistrate of the Old Keystone and of the undercurrent that is fan ned up in southern breezes, to injure him and we believe that few men would have stemmed such a current, secret as it was, and triumph ed over it more completely than Andrew Curtin PROGRESS OF TILE WAR FOR = We gave last week, the telegraphic account of the brilliant and successful naval engage. went at Port Royal. The official dispatches verify and confirm the first account, without eliciting any neiv. 13. S. forces have been, and are still being sent to that point, and it will very soon be rendered impregnable against any force the Rebels can bring • against it. Slidell and Mason, the rebel eirvoys to France and England, have been arrested at sea, and have arrived at Fortress Monroe on bol rd the U. S. steam frigate San Jacinto, which toot{ them from the British mail steamer on the Bth inst., off Bermuda. Lieut. Fairfax and thirty-five armed men went from the San Jacinto, with five officers, who board ed the steamer and picked out the com tnissioners. Messrs. Slide] and Mason made feeble resistance, but were induced to leave with Lieut. Fairfax. The t„aptain of the steamer raved and swore, called the United States officers "piratical Yankees;" . and other abusive Lames. One of the secreta ries of the rebel commissioners, num. ed Eustis, also showed resistance ; but himself and colleague accompufnied their employers to confinement. Corn. Wilkes did it on his own tresfonsibillty, because he thought the men ought to be secured at all hazards. The rebel envoys were put on board the British mail steamer Fingal, a t Bermuda, by the rebel steamer Nashville which latter received front . the Fingal a cargo of arms, with which the Nashville' would run the blockade. The cargo is repor ted to have arrived at Savannah. The Union men of Tennessee were' re ported to have taken possession of Bristol. The panic at Savannah in consequence of the Union victory at Port loyal was so great that even the men were running away, the shopkeepers packing up their goods to carry with them, which, however, was pro hibited. The reported battle at Pikeville turns out to be a hoax. Gen. Sherman has taken possession of the Pinckney Islands, seized all the able bodied negro men and sent them to the fleet. The reports from Gen. 4osencrans in West ern Virginia are very Cheering. They stale that Gen. Cox's brigade crossed the Kanawha and New rivers on the 10th inst., and klri:iVe the rebel's back three miles from all theinposi tions. Gen. Benham also had a skirmish with the rebels, and after compelling them to , re treat, he followed them for twentiflve miles, and failineto come up with them; ho fell back. Col. Grogan of the rebel cavalry, and a few others, were killed. Gen. Benham had lost only two men in the engagement. • We learn by way of Cincinnatti that the rebel General S. A. Johnson, with alarge force of 40,000 men, was advancing northward through Kentucky, and was supposed to de sign an attack either upon Lexington, Louis ville, or Cincinnatti. The Union troops have teen ordered to concentrate immediately upon Danville, there to oppose, if necessary, the ad vance of Johnston's forces. • Thirty•one men and five wagons, being part of a foraging expedition, were captured by a body of rebel cavalry. The rebel loss at Belmont was two hundred and sixty-one killed, four hundred and twen ty-seven wounded, and two hundred and sixty eight missing. At Piketon they lost hetween two hundred and three hundred, of whom forty-eight. were killed and sixty wounded, the Union losS being - six killed and seventeen wounded, General Hunter has sent a letter to General Price by a flag of truce, repudiating Fremont's 11 1131 General MoKinstry bas been removed from his command in Missouri, arr t cstedi and put under Gm strictest surveillance. A regiment per day will leave Harrisburg or the seat of war for some time to come. Fifteen hundred rebel soldiers were discov ered on Santa Rosa island by the Federal pa trol, about twenty miles from Port Pickens, but the fleet shelled them off with great loss. The If. S. naval force at Newport News has been increased, in order to check' the naval expedition fitting out in the James river, of which three formidable fire ships are said to form a part. General Dix's proclamation rhav,ing been read to the - Virginians up the Pocomoke river, a large number 'had claimed United States protection, saying that they were satisfied.

I was permitted to accompany them, and make haste to write - down, while tholm pression is sfillrecent, an account of one of the saddest scones I over witnessed: We got under-weigh at about noon, and as Beaufort is only 15 miles up the river, in about an hour we were within sight of its lofty portions and.cluetering gardens: It - is - a small place, occupied in slimmer by many of the wealthi est planters in South-Carolina, who resort to it for its delicious ocean _air; 2,000 or . more are usually there as late in the season as No.- . vember, but in the winter the population is not more than . 500. The houses are mostly wooden, with stuccoed fronts, spacious veran dahs and high porches ; they stand along the shore, in gardens crowded with orange and lemon trees, fragrant jessamines, magnolias, and huge cactuoseargorgeous in crimson and yellow. As we sailed leisurely along in the admir able little craft which is not yet a month old, and has bean christened already in three fights, resulting so victoriously, fiat boats crowded with negroes and filled up with plun der could be seen making their way speedily across the stream. Two other gunboats lay off in the river, to guard againsj, the return of rebel troops. On the wharves a lazy block or two stood basking in the sun, and staring at the strangers. We landed in small boats, the the captain of the libibuSlf having brought his launch, which Was armed with a rifled cannon and filled Avitlyiailors each carrying a musket. The officbrs of the party were all armed. No sooner had we put foot on shore than the mel ancholy experiences of the day began. A warehouse on the wharf had been broken into and its contents pillaged; ; the relics of stores of food were strewn around, empty barrels, broken doors and windows, cases of liquor or oils overact., and wanton destruction of every sort perpt:trated upon the property, and this was but a sample of what we were destined to meet at every step. All the shops and stores were rifled, the post office despoiled, and on the door steps some fragments only told what had once been written. Not a white man was to be seen besides those of our own,party. Captain Rodgers, of the Wabash, immedi ately distributed his men around so as to guard against surprise, and gave strict orders that not an article should be removed from the village. The negroes whom we hod seembe fore landing had got away with their plunder, but other groups lounged around, touched their hats to us, or, in default of hats, pulled their shaggy wool, and seemed anxious to talk., We asked where were the white people? "All gone, masse, gone the day of the fight, left we behind' This sthry was uniform. Their masters had fled with the greatest precipita tion, so soon as the - firing commenced at Port Royal. •Satne indeed had left even earlier, btit'At one now remained. They hod en deavored to persuade or force the blacks to accompany them, but in vain. The negroes had remained, and others-had,„ come from the surrounding country; and an indiscriminate pillage of the town had taken place. ' The testimony' of the blacks was unanimous that the "niggers„ were robbing and destroying everything they could hay their hands on, until on the 10th Captain Ammen of the Seneca had arrived, and his officers threatened to shoot them unless they desisted. Again and again men, women and children asked in my hearing, by Commdore Dupont, by General Sherman, and others, "who had committed the ravages we sawn" again and again they answered " the blacks.,, Twenty different times I myself asked as many dif ferent negroes," who stopped the outrages ?" THE CONTRA BA NHS AT BEAU- - J1 FORT. The Evening Post, in the letter of its correspondent on the Great Naval Expedi tion, has the foll Owing account of the beha vior, of the negcogaeliout Beane ** * Early in the morning aft the victory, ths plantation negrpos began t 9 come into( camp, and w;th the genuine A filo-ma) instinct for Made, each bad providtd htmeel with a. turkey, n shoulder of bacon, or two shoulders and a brace of hams in the shape of a strug. gling, P'Orker, which he bore kicking and squealing under his arm. It was amusing to see the pertinacity with which these fellows would cling to their prize, even while waiting to be questioned under guard of a file of soldiers. The instant one was spoken to, the bit of wide-awake or the rimless crown of straw which did duty as n. hat would be jerked off with characteristic obsequiousness, the negro stand scraping and bow.ng, answering meanwhile his catechism, as well as he could with the noisy and struggling beast distracting his atten tion. Several who came in broug,ht wagons loaded with knapsacks and other accoutre• meats, which they had picked up on the way. All seemed ready to work, and those who were fortunate to have possesed themselves of some stray horse or a pair of plantation mules, found abundant occupation. As our troops were at first to busy in making good their position to attend to anything else, and the Quartermasters had already more• upon their hands than they could attend to, the negroes who appeared were not encouragd to remain, but -at once sent back, and on one pretence and another to take care of themselves. But by the morning of the second day fifty were 'already gathered at headquarters, and signs of a much greater influx were abundant. - Those who remained were put under the charge of- Capt. Goodrich, the Quartermaster of Oen. Wright's brigade, who saw that their ,wants were well attended, to giving uR an old building to their accommodation. Our troops were accompanied in their first reconnoisence into the island by Dr. J. J o Craven, the efficient surgeon of the third brigade, who reports, the negroesi on the plantations further inland as almost wild with delight at the advent four troops and the hasty aight. of their masters, . which they descrilicrivith the utmost gusto, " 0 -Lord 1 4ssa i '''' said- one, "we're so glad to see you' Weise prayed and:prayed the good Lord tha '1 lib would send yer Yen. keels, and we lin tved would was a coming."

Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou host it by thee."—Proverbs, iii, 27, 28. COAL.—Ere the winter is upon us, and while the went her is yet dry and pleasant, it would he well to look to the filling up of the coal houses. Coal laid in now is more apt to be cletin than that hauled in the snow and mud of winter. The advertising columns of the herald will direct any of 'our friends as to the best places to procure their supplies. THE OLD BELL.—The Easton Sentinel says the old Court house bell at that place, bears date "1763," and was cast atßethlehem. It is a sacred relic as upon it was rung Ike joyful tidings of the adoption of the Declara tion of Independence, in the dark days of "76." Let us trust that it will shortly "ring the joyful tidings" of the return of 'petite to our land, and the restoration of our glorious Union.

One of the signs is that birds are already preparing for a flight. southward, and another-that the husk of the growing corn is very thick and covers the ear to the very ends, a never failing proof that overcoats and fuel will be in great demand. If these signs prove correct, and a severe season is in store for us, let us begin early and work earnestly to ren der the lot of the destitute lees Bard to bear. The general prostration of business incident to the unfortunate condition of our national affairs has of course thrown numbers of the working classes out of employment, and will cause a Vaat amount of suffering, if it is not 'avoided by care and forethought on the part of the other classes of society. Let no false notions of economy lead them to postpone or , dispense with comforts and conveniences which they can afford and which give employmentto those dependent upon them, for these must also live, and giving them something to do is far more commendable than withholding it and forcing them to depend upon the charity of those whom fortune lute favored more. THANICSOIVINU DAY.—The govern ors of nineteen States have designated the day for the celebration of the annual Thanksgii ing. In Maine and Massachusetts it will be observed on the 21 d st inst., and in the follow ing named States, Thursday, the 28th inst., has been namedas the day : New York, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, I.Viscon sin, Minnesota, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Is - land, Kansas, Maryland, Kentucky and De laware. , . It has been the oustem of tits different con• gregations of our town, to make arrangements to have services in but one of the churches in the morning, and ono other, in the afternoon of that day. We have enquired, and aro un able to learn of any such plan for this year, and, we suppose, in default of that, there be divine services in most, if not all of the churolies. It is etuimmtly fitting and proper in these dark times in 'our national affairs, that we should humbly and fervently offer our thanksgiving and praise for the abund ance and plenty vouchsafed to us, and that wo are enabledi„,throiigh the bountiful crops, stored in our barns and granaries, to carry on, and_ vigorously prosecute this Holy "war against, a most unrighteous rebellion.

ARREST OF DESERTERS _High hand Proceed ing 4 of a city Policeman.—A short time. ago a lieutenant of ono of the Pennsylvania Volun r , teer companies stationed with the army on the Potomac, arrived irr this city in search of two deserters named John Walls and EdwardCron ister. After a conference with the police au •thorities, ho secured the services of. officer Cambell, and went to Mechanicsburg, Cumber land county, where they succeeded in arrest ing John Walls, a notice of which appeared in the TELEORAPII at the time Walls was brought to this city and confined in the Lock-up. The lieutenant then proceeded to Danville, leaving word with officer Cowbell, that he would re turn to this city, either on the following... Sa turday or Sunday night, and take the deserters on to Washington. The next day officer Cam bell succeeded in arresting the other deserter, Cronister, and placed him also in the look-up to await the return of his commanding officer. Thus matters stood until last night, when the lieutenant returned from Danville, and after paying officer Combelrfor Lis services, and the expense of knelling the deserters in the lock-up, he was met by officer Radabaugh, in full regimentals, Who refused to deliver over the prisoners until he received the sum of twenty-five dollars !, This the lieutenant of course, refused to pay, asserting that he had already settled for the capture of the deser ters, and the expense of keeping them in the lock-up, and would pay no more. The Chief replied that he would take the deserters to Washington himself, and left with the view of making his arrangements to go to that city in the train leaving at 8.20 o'clook Tuesday, morning. The lieutenant with officer Cowbell, then repaired to the residence of the Mayor, whom they aroused from his slumbers and wade him acquainted with the position of af fairs, when his honor s at once' wrote a note di recting that the deserterS should be given up to the military officer.' This was taken to of , neer Radabaugh, whb still, however, persisted in his refusal to surrender the prisoners, who by this time 'h had hantDeuffed, and was about proceeding with them to the depot to await the departure of the train. The lieu tenant with officer Cambell again repaired to the Mayor's residence, when his honor becom ing acquainted with the refusal of his chief officer to recognize his order, at once dressed himself and proceeded with the officers to a restaurant near the depot where they found Radabaugh and demanded to know who he had disregarded his order. The crest-fallen chief made some incoherent. reply, but was quickly interrupted by an order from the May-.: or to remove the hand-cuffs from LIM prisoners, to which he sullenly complied. The Mayor then direoted him.to surrender his badge of office, to which the Chief responded 0 I sub mit to my superior," and handed over the sil ver 0 Maltese." The deserters were then placed iu the custody of the military officer, who left with them in the morning train for Washington, after which the Mayor returned to his residence, while the Chief, in all the pomp of gold laced cap, military coat and pan taloons, was left alone to mourn over his.de parted greatness. Wo understand that this in not the first lime the ex-Ohief has disobeyed the order of the Mayor, and upon one or two oceasions.was detected in assuming extra.of finial jurisdictions, which was severely coin. montod upon by the press at the Lime,. and' - Willett - caused his tompoiary suspension.—= flarriabury Telegraph. =1 The Retaharoiy."llleneuree CORRESPONDENOE—NAMES 01 , THE SELROTED TO AWAIT TILE rills OF .
