STATE SENATnIt —We are pleased to see
that our uniou friends of Adams County have
brought forward the name of Col. John Wol
ford of the York Springs District for State
Senator, he is an old and tried friend f Lib
erty and Colon, and will make a faithful Rep.
resenativo; being so well and favorably
known throughout the county, his name would
be a tower of strength to the ticket and the
cause in which the Nation in engaged.
digi,,,The many friends of JERO3tE K. BOY
ER, ESQ., the former editor of the American
Volunteer, and afterwards of the Alllrriran
Democrat, of this place, will be glad to hear
of the bold and manly stand lie, along with
all good democrats, have (alien in favor of
the Government and the Union. We had the
pleasure of meeting him in Harrisburg on ihe
day of the People's Convention, in which
body he represented in part, Schuylkill coun
ty, his present home. He has al ways been a
rigid democrat, and only left it, when its
name became a synonym for treason.
r, We have permission to make the fol
lowing extract from a letter recently written,
describing the attack made on the oth Penna.
Cavalry,' under Major Jordan, by Morgan's
men. The writer says:
"Just at the time a retreat was ordered
saw CAD • S horse shot under him, and his tell,
unfortunately, with his sabre en tangled under
the wounded animal, at that crtlical moment
one of the enemy laid hold of hint and 1 con
eluded, of course, that he was a prisoner. Tu
my surprise however, in a very short time,
CAD joined his company unhurt and mounted
on another horse. You can imagine how he
disposed of his antagonist, and obtained
remount."
The Cad" here referred to, is young
Cassius Armstrong, son of Dr. John Arm.
strong, formerly of this place. Cap comes of
good fighting stock and t .e above affords an
instance of coolness and courage well worthy
of mention.
The Confiscation Bill
The following full and satisfactory synopsis
of the Confiscation Bill, as it passed Congress
was approved by the President, and is there.
fore the Law of the Land, we find prepared to
our hand by the Lebanon Courier.
This Bill is the first act that looks like ac
tive, energetic, earnest war against t he Rebel
lion, and if it is carried out in an earnest
spirit will result in crushing out the nefari•
ous effort to destroy the Republic.
It declares death for treason, and the free
dom of a traitor's slaves ; or he shall be im
prisoned 5 years, fined $lO,OOO and his estate
except slaves, shall be seized. For inciting
rebellion or giving it aid acid comfort, forfeit
ure of personal property, 10 years in prison,
$lO,OOO fine, and slaves set free.--The Presi•
deg is authorized, for putting down the pres
ent rebellion, to seize the property of all such
persons and convey the proceeds to the Gov
ernment. Ile is to proolam that if in 60 days
Rebels do not return to allegiance, their prop
erty shall be forfeited —Slaves of persons en
gaged in rebellion or who give aid and coin
fort to the Rebels, that take
-refuge in our
lines, shall be held as captives of war and be
forever free from Slavery. So also shall be
tall slaves deserted by their masters and coming
under control of our Government : also all
slaves found at placed occupied by our troops.
No slave escaping from one State into another
State shall be delivered up except for crime
or some offence against the laws of the United
States, until the claimant shall make oath that
,ate has never , borne arms in the present rebel
-1•ion, or given aid and comfort thereto. No
person engaged in naval or military service
shall decide on the validity of the claim or
surrender of such slave, on pain of being dis
missed from the service. The President is
authorized to employ as many persons of
African descent for the suppresSion of the
Rebellion as he may think fit, and use them
in such manner as he may deem best for the
pnblio welfare, and he is also authorized to
make provision for colonizing - the blacks
beyond the limits of the United States. The
,President is also to extend to prisoners pardon
-and-amnesty-as-hermardeem-expedient.
The New
The quota from. Pennsylvania to fill the
requisition of President Lincoln for;. , 300,000
men will be twenty ! one
,regiments, this is in ,
ndditicra to the men who will be repaired to
an 14 the old regiments; the number neoes•
nary for bah' purposes wily probably reach
60,000 ram: Enlistments for the, new;Sgf
ments will be made for nine at:ninths, for the
old regiments, twelve months. Clamps of in
strnotion will be established , in Lam:tiger,
Wash(ngton, Montgomery, Allegheny, Brad
ford, Franklin and Philadelphia counties, un
der the care Of competent commanders.-
PEOPLE'S STATE CONVENTION
In another column will be found the pro•
ceedings, of probably the most important as
semblage ever convened in Pennsylvania.—
Called together at a period of our country's
history, when the very principles Of free gov•
.ernment are on trail for life ; there responded
to that summons patriots worthy of the oc
casion. Casting aside the narrow and con
tracted views of former political predilections,
and recognizing only the imperative call whose
only credentials are fealty to freedom, the
men who met there that day, inaugurated a
regime which, in the Providence of God, will
annihilate rebellion, and exterminate its eid
ers and abetors.
As was to have 'been:,expected, the vultures
and buzzards still clinging to the rotten re
mains of that effete organization, mis-called
the Democratic party, have set up a howl and
shriek of alarm and consternation. But see
ing that the patriotism and pluck of that par
ty has long since stepped off tlte sinking ship
of secession sympathy, and come out boldly
and unmistakably on the Union pide ; we can
well offord to pass unheeded its hiss, in the
confidence that its venomous head is soon to
be crushed under the resistless tread of the
Union party.
Considering that the convention was made
up- of represenatives of every political party,
its deliberations were harmonious to a remark
able degree. On the passage of the resolu
lions, not a dissenting voice was heard.--
While the nominations were received with
cheers of acclamation. The candidates THOS.
E. COCHRAN, for Auditor General, and Gen.
Woi. S. Rosa, of Luhorne County, for Survey
or General, are men unexceptionable in char•
acter—who have long been known in public
adult's', and need no eulogy. The former
well known Republican, and the latter an up
right, patriotic Democrat, they will fraternize
in their support, all men of all parties, heartily
in faVor of the government.
The Campaign in Virginia
The division of General Stevens, like that
of Burnside, has arrived in Virginia. Thus
the two important departments of North Car
olina - and South Carolina are weakened, and
our successes in those quarters rendered com
paratively useless except for the purposes of
blockade. We heartily agree that, if - 'hese
two departments could not be operated more
successfully than they have been, it is idle
'Co keep there so many troops, who might be
of much more service elsewhere.' It is appa
rent that until the force of the enemy can be
broken in the seaboard region of Virginia no
permanent impression can be made upon the
rebellion. The events at, Richmond have in
fused fresh spirit into the rebel army in the
'west, so that they have assumed the offensive
there. It is, therefore, unavoidable that a
heavy force should be gathered is Eastern
Virginia„ s and that the 'whole strength of the
republic should be brought to bear against.
Richmond. We must drive the enemy out of
Virginia at all hazards, and every man who
can be sent to the field for the purpose must
-be promptly mustered Should it prove true
that General Ilalleck has been ordered . to
Washington to take command of affairs in Vir
ginia, be will be able to harmonize the opera.
tisns of the campaign in that r: gion and sp
combine the efforts of Pope and McClellan as
to virtually make the whole army there one
consolidated force. These changes show the
determination of the President not to relax
his efforts to conquer the 4ebellion in its
stronghold, and to take for that purpose the
beet generals we have in the field, and all the
available forces. Within a short time Had
leek, -Pope, Sigel, Mitchell, Burnside and_Ste
yens have been ordered to Virginia from oth
er departments, The great struggle will soon
commence, and then we shall witness battles
compared with which the previous ones will
seem mere combats.—Phibt. Narth American.
Pitemcmoss.—Many years ago ; a writer
said that ''so much lead would be required
flr types there would soon be none to spare
for musket balls " What a prediction ?
There has been more leaden musket bulls
used during the last twelve months than
would give every newspaper in the County a
new suit of type, and supply the paper a
year to every reader gratis.
Thirty years ago a man said, "fifty years
hence, it will hardly be believed that men e
once marched- around the streets dressed in
red coats and beating on Sheepskins " If
that man is still .diving he will find that the
drummers alone of the U. S. Army now,
just about equal the rank and file of the
U. S, Army then
RASPBERRY- VINEGAR FOIL SICK SOLDIERS.-
Many persons have kindly sent berries and
fruits to the sick soldiers in the different hos
pitals, the free use of which, in ninny eases,
Is deemed objectionable. It is suggested, in
stead, that those having raspberries should
convert them into "raspberry - Vinegar,"
which makes a grateful, cooling and whole
some drink for the fevered, sick and wound
ed. The way to make it is this:—Take any
quantify of berries, place them in ajap i , ned
fill till they are covered with vinegar. Lot
them stand till they ferment which may be
three or four days ; then strain through a
cloth, To each quart al-this vinegar add one
pound of good sugar, and boil ono minute.—

Proclamation by Gov. Curtin
TWENTY-ONE NEW REGIMENTS FOE 9 MONTHS
Recruits for the Old Regiments for One Year
Iltamseuew. July 21.—The following Pro
olamation has just been issued:
Pennsylvania so.
In the name and by the authority of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, ANDREW G.
CURTIN, Governor of the said Commonwealth:
EN=
To sustain the government in times of com
mon peril by all his energies, his means and
his life if need be, is the firet_dtity of every
loyal citizen. The President of the United
States has made a requisition on Pennsylvania
for twenty : one new regiments, and the regi•
merits already in the, field must be recruited.
Enlistments will barnacle for nine months
in the new regiments, and for twelve months
in the old. The existence of the present
emergency is well understood. No patriot
will pause now to investigate its causes. We
must look to the future. Everything that is
dear to us is at stake. Under those-circum
stances I appeal with confidence to the free
men of Pennsylvnnia. You have to save your
homes nod your firesides; your own liberties,
andikose of the whole country. I call on the
inhabitants of the (mention, cities, boroughs
and townshipa throughout our borders to meet
and take active measures for the immediate
furnishing of the quota of the 't3i,ate. Lot
those who cannot go themselvencontiiibute to
proiide bounties equal at least to those off.
ariid by the Adjoining States, The Sonstieu-
Hon prohibits me from drawing money from
the treasury without authority of law, and I
will net' Cast a doubt en the patriotism of our
citizens by assuming the necessity of calling
the Legislature at this time. This is no time
to wait for legislative action and the negotia
tion or leans. Delay might be fatal.
• Tapnt down this rebellion is the business
of every..man in Pennityliania,•aud her citizens
Will ahoy/ on thie omission that they do not
wait for the slow process of legislation, And
do not desire to throw on the treasury of the
commonwealth a burthen which thq are indi
vidually ready to bear themselves.
The conduct of our men already in the
field has shed immortal lustre on Pennsylva
nia. Let their brethren fly to arms to sup-
port them, and make the victory speedy as
well as certain.
I designate below the number of companies
which are expected from the several counties
in the State,
s trusting that the support of her
honor in this crisis may he safely entrusted
to the loyality, fidelity and valor of her free
men. Whilst the quota of the several counties
is fixed equitably so as to fill the requisition
for twenty-one regiments, let not the loyal
people of any county limit, their exertionsvto
the enlistment of the companies named, Our
heroic sons of Pennsylvania have moistened
every battle field with their blood. Thousands
have bravely died defending the unity of the
republic and the sanctity of our tiag, and
other thousands -- have-fullensick-and wounded
and their places must. be filled. • •
Freemen of Pennsylvania! Friends of the
geirernment, of order, and, of our common
nationality, ono earnest struggle, and peace
will again dawn upon us as a happy, prospe
rous and united people.
Given under my hand and the great seal of
the State, at ilarristurg. this 21st day of
July, in the year of our Lord one thousand

Seerataries
The Convention was called to order by I-lon.
A. K. McClure, and, on motion of Mo' on
McMichael, Thomas M. Marshall, of Alio - .114
ny. was &octet temporary President.
Upon taking the chair, amid greet appian e,
Mr. Marshall arose and addressed the Con
vention in a Eno zt ter vent and patriotic wan
ner; as - follows: • , - -
Gentlemen of the Conventi in : I desire to
return my thanks for the undeserved honor
which 3,u cmferre I upon ate, I have no wish
at this time to make any speech to you. I
hope our deliberations will be conducted with
c thinness and kindness; that we will endear
or by our actions to show an example that
should he the conduct. of the people of the
United Stfftes I hope that its we are the
Keystone of tim Federal Arch, and have
borne the burdens of that. arch heretofore, we
will give our arms and our hearts to the sus
',citation of the Union, until the last rebel is
subdued by the bayonet and the sword. (Ap
plauise.)
I trust that the deliberations of our Con
vention to day will bo worthy of imitation in
every quarter, and that we will speak in such
a voice as shall give no uncertain sounds—
that every one shall know where Pennsylva
nia stands. [Applause.] I trust that Penn
sylvania, through her accredited represruta
tives to day, will tell the loyal people of the
ljt,ate, through all her valleys and on all her
bills, that, as she hss been thwAeystune of
ihe'reileral arch, she will still belt upon her
brawny shout lers the responsibility of maid
litining it over the dead bodies-of all its foys„
pplause.)
1 trust, gentlemen, our deliberations shall
be conducted in cairn:less, dispassiontitely,
but with great firmness. Orlin Tilt, conven
tions have assembled in this hall for the dis
cut-ion and settlement of mere party issues;
but, I thank God, they are dead, and hope
never to meet it resurrection. Ti day we have
assembled, not upon a party issue, but to in
quire whether we have a country, and if we
have one, whether we are willing to maintain
it at tae peril of our lives. As we have given
the loyal blood of .Ponnsylvania upon every
battle field of this internal struggle, we trust
to be able to crush every rebel leader tinder
the feet of our loyal soldiers, until the last
rebel is exterminated, and no man shall exist.
to speak of the confederate States but the
United States of North America. (Cheers.)
We have come hero from all departments of
industry, representing all the varied interests
of our great State. 01 course, there must be
differences of opinion upon minor questions.
I trust I need not invoke the forbearance of
the gentlemen who constitute this respectable
body, that they will bear with each other,
and endeavor to harmonize in peace and uni
ty.

were unanimously adopted by the committee.
Judge Knox ryas Invited to the chair amid
great applause, and spoke as follows:
The gentlemen of the Convention will please
to acoept my thanks for their kind friend hip
in scleming me to preside.over their_delibern,
Lions.
I rejoice, my friends, in being hereto day
to not with the loyal and true men of Penn-
sylvania, regardless of former political IMO
elation, rind recognizing, in this - eventful - time
he the only true test of fellowship and corn
nimion, love of country and devotion to tho
American Union, with a fixed and unalterable
determination'to preserve the government of
the United States, and to resist to death its
enemies whenever and-wherever found. [Ap
plause.] •
I rejoice, especially, in being here .to-day
to evince my earnest dosire'to strengthen the
hands of that honest man and that patriotic
statesman, the President of the Unit militates ;
--[cheering]—te cheer him on, and to wish'
him and the men who -are _his trustworthy
counB llors God speed in their noble labors to
preserve our.country and her cherished insti-.
tutions. Yes, gentlemen, it affords me great
pleasUre in being able to declare that; in my
'judgment, the men at the head of the, Nal Tonal
and State ddrainistrations are, in - This terrible
crisis, performing their whole duty, and that
they , are, entitled to our respect, 'our entire
conf i dence, and our strongest support. I
envy not the man who cannot now look be

of his:country. [Great cheering ]

[Great applause ] I repeat, gentlemen, that

must be permitted to say that especially do
--confille-in-the-honor r the clear head and honest
heart of him who represents Pennsylvania in

ton. [Long' continued and enthusiastic np
plause.]
I know there has been a systematic attempt
to bring this officer into disrepute, and to
cause his removal front' the high office which
he now so ably fills ; but I assure you, my
friends, that in my judgment, the reasons
which caused this opposition are, first, his
efforts in putting down this rebellion, and,
second, because lie administers the elf tirs of
his department without fear, favor or affec
tion.
Efforts have been made by certain sympa
thizers with this rebellion to exalt one of the
Generals in the army, and to denounce the
Secretary of War. For my part, I doubt. the
jodg of that man who denies to General
McClellan great, military skill; but I question
the patriolmn of that man who exalts General
McClellan, and traduces President Lincoln
and his constitutional advisers. [lmmense
applause ]
The true friends of our glorious old country
will support. the general in the tented field
and the men in the Council Chamber; will
equally engage in supporting the hest gov
e.mment that ever existed in the tole of Limo,
and in crushing out a more damnable rebellion
than the demons of hell ever inaugurated !
[Great applause
Ti, this end, my friends, let us -ustain this
country of ours and its nut horit ics, with our
treasure, and, if necessary, with our blood ;
let us discountenance and refuse to associate,
either personally or politically, with the men
who are now false to our country's glory ; let
us swear by ouriland, our hopes of Heaven,
that we will resist to the bit ter, d this cursed
rebellion, even though in that resistance our
citica_may ho. as a desolation, and our
horim- , a dream. (Vociferous and long con

ted States and its people, with an occasional
exception ntnong the reckleos inhat Want s where
this rehellion wr.s Motored, have wisely and
studiously avoided all interference with the
concerns of other nations, asking and _usually
enjoying alike non-interference with their
own, and that such is and shruld continue to
be its policy. That the intimations of a eon
templated'departure front this sound rule of
conduct on the part of some of the nations of
Europe, by an intervention in our present
struggle, is as unjust to them tie it would be
to us, and to the great principles for which
we are contending; but we assure them, with
a solemnity of conviction which admits of no
distrust or fear, and fro m a knowledge of. and
a firm reliance upon the spirit and fortitude
of twenty millions of freemen, that any nt•
tempt thus *0 intervene will meet with a .e•
sistance unparalled in its force, unoonqueta
bit) in its persistence, and fatal In those whom
it is intended to aid ; and that it will tend only
to strengthen and elevate the republic.
Resolved. That the skill, bravery and en
durance exhibited by our,army and navy have
eliotited our admiration and gratitude; that
we behold in these qualities the assurances of
sure.-and speedy success to our arms, and of
rout and discomfiture to the rebels ; that we
urge the government to aid and strengthen
them by all the manna in its power, and osre
fully to provide for bitlk, wounded and disa

the war with increased vigor and energy, un
til the rebellion is utterly .erneljed, the integ•
rity of 019 Unitin in. itlt It botdOrs .restored,
and every rebel reduSed to submission or
driven from the land, and that 'to accomplish
these ends we pledge to our rulers our faith,
our fortunes and our lives.
-- Resolved, - -That the-course of—the—Hon—Da
vid Wilmot in the United States Senate is
manly, consistent, and eminently patriotic,
and we hereby endorse him as a true and
faithful, , repiesenative of the loyal people of
this Stale;
Col, Forney took• the floor and said:
What voter, what demnerat who has lost a
brothel' or friend in the army, will not, when
the argument:is put to him, Bee the propriety
of these - resolutions, In the battle of Rbd
Dank, in 1777, n regiment. of Rhode Island
blacks reached the gronitd'in time, and turned
the fortunes of the day. Andrew Jackson
called-en the free blacks of Louisiana for the
defence of that - territory, and by their bravery
victory was won. Do niit..be afraid, gentle•
men, of being called abolitionists. The only
abolitionists to day, the only practioal nboli
tionists, are 'the rebels themselves. They
have set more slaves free than ten thoukand
General hunters could have done. We did
not begin the rebellion. Edward Everett, • at
Albany, in• 1860, when making a speech, said
to the democratic party, .• Gentlemen, you
have a majority. Unite—come together—
and you will boat us. If nut, Mr. Lincoln
will be elected and you must take the conse
quences." The det:.ocratio party produced
this state of things for their ()tin aims, and
they desired it. The great object of the deM
°erotic party, fellow Mt izenS,is scarcely to be
concealed. 1 say the democratic party, be
cause they insist upon calling themselves
such. They desire a peace, in order to eff-mt
that peace and to degrade us they are trying
to divide the northern people. They are for
uniting the south and dividing us. This is
their object, and what a peace it will be !
Does any mail suppose that such a peace
would end the war ? The first attempt would
be to throw Pennsylvania into the arms of
south, ns was William B. Reed's plan. Then
there is Fernando Wood's idea of making
New York - oity a„great free city. Then Cali
fornia would secede; Oregon would secede,
and the great west would tivally secede, and
in this secession do you not suppose (hat
(here would be an internal war—a war of
sections—such a war as the world has never
seen ? Can it be supposed for a moment (hat
a man looking at the probability of things
does not see them as I do ?
Hence it is that the Republican party do
serves all honor for the manner in which it
has deported itself in this struggle It was
God's providence that a Republican President
was elected in 18(50. I have seen en much
duplicity under the name of democracy. I
have seen so much pride, so much falsehood,
such an utter disregard of the most solemn
oaths and obligations, I have seen a ruined
country as the legacy of that party, that
when Mr. Lincoln was elected President, I
hailed it, because I knew lie had no, record
to fall buck 9,rr. Ills hands were clean. II
was clear of the taint of southern traitors.—
I hope these resolutions before us will be
unanimously adopted. What is to be hoped
is unity among ourselves. If we cannot har
monize. the battle must go against us. If the
Itiends of the Administration and the war
cannot come together as one man the Breck
inridgers must triumph in the smiting elec
tion, and your House of Represena ;yes will
he turned against its, and our President. will
be helpless . so far as 'the exercise of power is
concerned. We can atford to lay aside the
name of Republicans, Americans and Denno•
cra.s, and remember only the republic. It
may he—though I trust in God it. is not. 50—
it may be that we shall never have a united
country again ; and, gentlemen, the only way
to secure such a cOunfry is for ourselves to
be united.

From Gen. Bank's Army
Warrenton, July 17. —The burning of the
railroad bridge over the Rapidan river wan
caused by a mistaken idea of some of the sol
diers, instead of by an order emanating from
General Banks, or the immediate commander
of the expedition, Brigadier General Hatch.
'The river, however, is fordable at this season
tat many points near the bridge, and its de
struction can be a matter of no great. impor
tance either way.
Arrivals from Sperryville state that there
has been almost, daily 'skirmishing between
General Sigel's pickets and the rebel scouts,
near the Gap at Luray, and that several of
the enemy bad been killed. They also report
that a reconnoisance in force went from Gen.
Sigel's command on Wednesday, towards
Madison. n'td several guns are reported to
have been heard in that direction by travel
ers, the same day. '
Parties from Winchperg by -way of Front
Royal report that the guerillas have paid fre
quent visits to the principal routes leading
thither, and in the vicinity of Strasburg nod
Aliddletown, All thokstores at the latter
places have been removed to securer positions.
Adjutant, General Copeland, of Gen Banks'
corps, has, at, his own request, been ordered
to duty in Geh- Gen. Hunter's army. His
place had been filled by Major Pelouze, of
Philadelphia, formerly assistant adjutant gen
eral to Gen. Fremont.
Dr. Chapel, of Nebraska, has been appoint

Gen. McDowell arrived here yesterday, and
has pitched his headquarters in the held.
Sergeant A. T. Jackson, 9f the Michigan
cavalry, has been appointed to a Lieutenancy
in the same regiment for arduous and merri •

The following changes have recent'y been
made in General Banks' corps:—Brigadier
General Augur to the command of the Second.
Division, vice Gen. Sigel, transferred to the
commend of another corps ; Brigadier,Gener
al Prince to the Frst Brigade. and Brigadier
General George S. Green to the Second Bri
Bade of the same division. General Cooper,
formerly in command of the First Brigade,
has been assigned to duty at Frederick.
On Wednesday evening Gen. Batiks paid n;
visit of courtesy to Gen. Batista! a brigade,
of General McDowell s corps. This brigade
was formerly commanded by Gen. Ahererom.
in Gen. Banks' corps. Ills visit was un
announced, but notwithstanding the darkness
of the night, it, was soon discovered, and
rounds of cheers greeted his presence. Ills
reception by the 13th Massachusetts was nov

each soldier beld.a 4 lighied candle, screened
by his c.p. On a sudden a thousand can

voices shouted loud hurrahs as the General
approached the f`nlonel's quarters. To each

Gen's. McCall and Reynolds
We arc permitted to Make the following
extract from a private letter from an officer
in lillugds Division, which is now stationed at
Fredricksburg It gives a satisfactory account
of the condition and situation of the two brave
officers whose Dailies head this article. We
can assure our reader- that the account comes
directly from a reliable gentleman.
"Yesterday 1 called on the Mayor of Fred
ricksburg. lie had just returned from Rich
mond, where he had been to use his emleav
ors and to represent that it was the desire of
the good pe,plc of his city that Uen. Reynold,
should be liberated on his parole as he had
treated the citizens of that city, with great
consideration while in common 1 h e r e _ dien.
Winder received him with much austerity,
and treated him roughly, not for nut hiSt
entertaining the request of the
. F . redricks
bur,/yrH
fie said that Gen. McCall was at the hotel
with Gen Ileynoldi, and lh he was very
wounded it at all. These officers had
brew on a short parole, but have since been
sent to their prison. He gave me the particu
La's of McCall's capture.. Ile was taken by
a Lieutenant Rawiings, this lieutenant was
horn near Fredrickzburg which is his home
Ile took the Gen. to a higher officer who con
ducted him to Gen. A. I'. Hill. Gen. H. di
rected the tamer to take him hack, and to let
the young officer who captured bins, bring
him, which was done. Tile M.tyor remarked
that the people or Richmond were kept in pro
found ignorance of everything, relating to the
army. it was the popular f story there that
they had killed double the.numher of us that
we did of them, and that they bad captured
10,000 ol our troops. They lost one General—
G ralit h.
The Mayor was altogether non committal
tea to imparting any intormation, but a coon
irynian who was with him when I entered,
after listening to our conversation, unwitting
ly exclaimed, when the Mayor told of our'
loss being double that of theirs—'' 'by I
don't understand that, when you know (look.
ing towards the Mayor) we had so ninny
more than they." So what, I believed was
confirmed, because the Mayor evidently had
been telling him how they got the 'better of
us by concentrating more troops at Richmond
than we suspected."

NORMAL INsm,uTE.—We would call
especial attention to the advertisement in

()reason. This school is under the immediate
charge of Prof. P. M, L Gillelan, than whom
a more accomplished and cc mpetent instructor
is not to be found in Pennsylvania.

FIRE IN Snt;•rtt M IDDLETON.—On
Saturday night MO, about 11 o'clock, the
dwelling owned and occupied by fie.orinc. D.
CRATGIIcAn, woo discovered to he on fire, and
was entirely consumed. The fire was sup.
po,ed to have originated from a cook stove in
the kitchen, at which the family had been
ironing, until a late hour.
The furniture and household goods gener•
ally, were saved flora total destruction by be
ing thrown hurriedly into the road, which was
li'erally piled full of them. The building de
stroyed, was a large double stone house. It
w is insured in the Allen and kast Pennsboro'
Company.
We were pre , ent at the fire, and were
struck with the almost utter helple s sness of
folks in the country, when visited by this fell
destroyer. After the heat and smoke has be-
come so strong as to preclude the possibility
of ingress and exit, they can do not] hag but
calmly watch the progre-s of the flames, and
possibly endeavor to prevent their spread to
adjoining buildings.
COUNTY FINANCES.—The financial
condition of Cumberland county, under the di
rection of the excellent Board of Commission

last, about fifty thousand dollars was paid in
by the Collectors, and on Saturday, Col GUT.

Treasury thirty eight ihous.ind and forty del.
tars, and twenty seven cents, being in full
of the County's quota for 1862, as well as a
