It took the main road to Sharpsburg, on the left, and encoun. tered the most determined opposition in suc. cessfully executing its part of the general plan of the battle. Gen. Burnside had to cross the bridge over the Antietam Creek and dislodge the enemy, who were in strong.force and position on the opposite side. Twice his army made an attempt to cross, and twice was it, repulsed, with heavy loss, but the third attack, led by the General in person, was successful, and the position was won, 8" y ~. 4 4 ~ though at. a great sacrifice of life.

Q®-The effect of tobacco :upon the ner vous system was one of the very important subjects which attracted,tbe attention of the British Association at its late meeting. Dr. E. Smith read a paper on the effects-of "the weed." upon . pulsation, arguing that tobacco operated differently upon ft ifferent constitu tions, and under different circumstances, and demonstrating that, as a rule, 'sinning ac celerated the pulsation. A long discussion ensued, in the course.of literary man appeared to be generally accepted as the most fitting exponent of results. Here, however, doctors differed.

Burnside—The New Comman der-of the Army of' the Potomac. Wo have heretofore ,published an outline sketch of Gen. Burnside, yet his appointment to, and assumption' of the coniteand . of tho Army' of the Potomac—the Grand. Army of Union—renders a brief biography intorcptlng at the present time. Major Gen. 'Alllirose Everett Burnside, of the United States volun Leer service, is in the very prime of life, hav ing been born at. Liberty, a small town in Union county, Indiana, on the 231 of May, 1824. After being well grounded in the usu• al rudiments of a liberal education, he was nominated to the West Point Military Acade my, and his name was enrolled as a oadet in 1842. Ile graduated in 1847, eighteenth in a class of 38 members, and was immediately at tached to the 2d Artillery with the brevet rack of Second Lieutenant It is a fact worthy of note that none' of the graduates of 1847 were appointed either to the Engineers, Corps of Topographical Engineers, or the Ordinance Department. Usually the first ten or twelve graduates are assigned to these corps, but in 1847 twenty-three were appointed to artillery and the rest to infantry regiments, The re quirements of the service, consequent upon the tear with Mexico, then raging, wcte• no doubt the cause of this. In September, 1817, Lieut. Burnside was promoted to a full sec ond lieutenancy in Company C, 3d Artillery, since rendered famous as Bragg's Battery." Bragg himself being then captain of it. With this battery Lieut. Burnside marched, in Gen. Patterson's division, to the City of-Mex ico, and remained there until the close of the Mexican war. .After this served with his company in New Mexico, where he was dis tinguished in encounters with the Apache In dians.being complimented in general orders. On the 12th of December, 1831, he was pro moted to a first lieutenancy, in the room of an officer who was ..cashiered. When the present Lieut. Col. James O. Graham of the Corps of Topographical Engineers, was op. poi Med United :tales Astronomer- in the joint commission to settle the frontier lines of the of died:l)ood States and Mexico, Lieut. Burn side was chosen to fill the office of Quarter master, and in this capacity he conveyed lis patches from Cul. Graham to President Fill more, traveling twelve hundred miles across the plains in seventeen days with 11n escort of only three men. 'TiiE , BORDER STATES •„, • • • We out from Lhe St. Louie Democrat, (whit% ought to be good authority) an article on a question, the solution of which for more than a year has kept the government from striking a death-blow to the rebellion. When pc; • o who were in earnest about the bush as of putting down anarchy, said 4i cenfisea o the property of the convicted traitors," 'mid gentlemen in (he North who called themse es conservatives, held up (heir bands in ho horror, and depicted the terrible eousequeuce• that would' ensue from an immediate and incurable estrangement of the Border States. Did a fighting general proclaim to the enemy his purpose of mulOting him in property as well as person, such a howl fur his removal was immediately instituted as rarely failed in its accomplishment. How admirably this kid glove campaigning has served to restore the lost supremacy of the government, the pro• sent defiant attitude of the rebellion attests. But this is not what we set, out `to say. We propose to show, by (looting this editorial from a leading newspaper in one of the prin. oipal border slave States, that tho terrible priipliesie's of these Border State saviours, have been the merest Bosh, which in the clear light of the President's proclamation, have melted into the mist which formed the largest. portion of their hulk. What the next doilg to conserve rebellion will be, since this one is effectually played ant, we aro not aware, but hope it will prove to be something more tan gible than this. But to the Denwerae4 article: =I The goblin which has so longalTrightel our Government from the pursuit of a vigorous war policy , is at last pretty well dispatched. The danger which was so nerven , dy appre hended by old women in the Cabinet and con servatives all over the land—the danger of "a general bolt by the Ropier Slave States in easo of the strong, ungloved hand„of the Fed eral Executive was laid upon the' institution of Slavery, according to its deserts—has proved to be of the imagination, and has dis appeared like the thing of air it was.

These events tell the !true story of the people of the Border Slave States toward the Government. Never were men worse belied by their politicians than they have been When we consider how long the wheels of the Government have been kept stationary in the prosecution of 'the war, at their bidding; when we consider how many bravo men, who had entered the service of their country to fight the Rebels, have sickened and died in the ignoble work of watcldng Rebels' property, because the representatives of the Border States said that, unless it was - done, they could not answer for the loyalty of their eon slit heats; when we consider how many mil lions of treasure have been worse than thrown away to relieve their idle fears and conciliate their intense Pro Slaveryism, may we not rejoice, may not the whole country rejoice,. that at last the reign of the Border Slave States Delegation" is at an end?

Dr. Woolsey, President of Yale College, in his introduction to the study of International Law, statte the rules of war thus:. “To sum up all that has been said on tho topic, we may lay dawn the following rules of war: 1, Private persons, remaining quiet, and taking no part in the conflict, are to be unmo lested ; but if the people of an invaded district take an active part in the war, they forfeit their claim to protection.' This marked line of separation between the soldier and non soldier is of extreme importance for the in terests of humanity. 2. The property, movable a 8 toellao immovable of private persons in an invaded' country, is to remain uninjured. But if the wants of the hostile army require,iit may be taken by nu thorized persons at a fair value; but mnrnu ding must be cheoked by diseipline and fien. • * * 4 ' The only True, humane. and even just principle, is that already laid down,sthat war is waged by State against State, by sot , dier against soldier. * But pillagaand devastatiiin are seldom_ poll tie oven when they are supposed to be just. 'The rule is now pretty well established that, while 411 military stores and buildings are lawful plunder, and while every edifice in the way of military movements, whether, indeed, public or private, may be destroyed, whatever does not contribute to the use of war ought tore main intact. ,It was it. blot upon the British character, when they burned the Capitol at Ittashingtoni and- the excuse - for it -oh the ground of retalitation, although insufficient, showed the necessity for an excuselo the civi lized world.

Although we !nay be disposed to repine at this, the farmer uo doubt will heartily rejoice, as these sea• siomble rains will be of immense benefit to the growing crops—a matter we are all more or less interested in. REVENUE, STAMPA —'ihe impression has gone abroad that the law, with reference to the Internal Revenue Stamps, will not be enforced until the fir,t of January. This is inistali.e. All penalties for non use of these stamps are now in torte. and they will be rigidly, enforced as fast as the various stamps are issued. LA ROE BUSINESS.—JOB N NOBLE, gag deeS, We believe, the heaviest butcher. ing lothiness in this neighborhood. In the month of October, as exhibited by his return to the Assistant Assessor, ho killed no less than Eighty-Five Bullocks• The national tax upon loose bullocks amounts to Twentfl Five nollars. At this rate, the tax ho pays directly to the Government, from, this source alone, will amount to Three Hundred Hol lers per annum. Nora, we believe, than is paid by all the rest of the butchers together, who come to our market. COAL. —This indispensable article of fuel is running up rapidly in price, $7 to $8 per ton being now demanded. And it is said that before the winter is over it will reach $lO. Many persons acting on this belief are laying in a large supply now. We can not ace any good reason for so large an in crease of the price. Like every thing else, however, the tendency,of the coal market is upward. The coining winter bids fair to he an unusually 11110 one upon the poor. • SAVE RAGS., PAPER SORA PBoto.lcte. —People should save their rags, scraps of paper, etc., as they are'all of value now, and• can be sold to'advantage. If persons through. out the country were careful in this respect.; the price of printing ,paper would in a mea sure-be—kept down. ; Boys can make their holiday money by- attention to this matter. Oki L iiccount books, by taking olf the covers, envelopes, &c., can be sold. Thi s i s an j un . fierant matter, more particulary su at the present time.

S. SOLDIER SHOT LEAD.—On Friday morning last, between 2 and 3 o'clock,'a soldier, named RAYNOR CONKLIN, 4vas shot dead by a negro, named ABE BELL. The circumstances were nearly as follows: On the night in question, Conk lin, in company with another soldier, went to Bell's house,which, enpassant i is one of the worst sinks of iniquity in our town— . bawds of both complexions frequenting it. The soldiers knocked at the door, and were refused. admission. Having been in the house on previotid occasions, they insisted upon going,du now. The inmates still ob stinately refused to admit thorn, and the soldiers, becoming exasperated, threw stones against the door, and threatened to batter it down. Then the door did open, but imme diately thereupon the arm of the negro, with a loaded pistol in hand, was thrust out, and the weapon discharged. The contents passed immediately over the shoulder of one of the. soldiers, (the weapon being . .so close that the; flash of the powder burned his face and neck severely,) and lodged in the neck of the other (Conklin.) The pistol contained about twenty large duck shot, a. - .d about half of these entered the jngtilar vein of the deceas• ed, causing immediate and violent hemmor ages, which soon resulted in death. Coron r SMITH was summoned, and an inquest had,,. whose verdict accorded with the above facts. CONKLIN was a young man of rather pre, possessing appearance. His home was at• 1 Patterson, New Jersey, and he had formerly belonged to the sth New .Jersey volunteers,. and had left that regiment to enlist in the• 2.1 regular cavalry. AllE. BELL, the mur derer, is a negro of very bad character, having, we believe, committed an offehee of. the same character, in Lancaster county,. some years ago. Ile admits the killing of CUNKLIN, but justifies the deed on the plea. of self-defence. While on this subject, we might mention the disorderly character and. general had conduct of these recruits. For a week or two past, they have been a terror to our citizens ; carousing through the town. at all hours of the night, committing all mintier of depredation WO are glad to• olive, however, that Capt. ll.ksTrxns has adopted sterner measures in regard to them,. and we have no doubt there . wiltbe. a cor.- responding improvement illtheir deportment. It would nc I. he amiss, int,her,,to remark-, that our ' , olive oflicl•rs are very remiss in their d ,ties. .I:Mr i.I it were otherwise, we would nut he versed with the very large number of unli eased dens, where rum and riot hold their nightly orgies, that now pollute our-- town We hope this tragedy will have the effeet of awakening those concerned to the duties they owe the public. ' DEsEnTrn§ AritturiEN - bEn.—We no ticed, last we,k, the large number of volun teer coldiers who were absent from their regiments without leave. The evils which always follow in the train of this indiscrim in ,te straggling have already hecom% man i•fe,t, and indicated a looseness somewhere, which we felt bound to call attention to. • We- are gratified to announce that our sugges tions have had their tired, and already some eight or ten of these delinquents have been apprehended, and are on their way to their re.peetive commands. Several of these men are really unfit to perform active duty, and should, and probably will be discharged as soon as the proper authorities have passed; upon them. But it is clear that if these men are permitted to adjudge their own cases, and tor any trivial cause, to leave their com- parries, consequences the most ruinous to aIP dismipline and organization must inevitably ensue. It is unfair, also, to the men who halm- - nobly stood' up tb: the periloil* work thee h ive been engaged in, that others, under equal obligations, having received the additional ' , minty paid to the new levies, and who have dodged the require ments of military law, should be permitted to remain at home, unmolested in the enjoy ment of alf.its comforts, while they are per rifling lifo and health campaigning in the valic)s of A lb:nw r TmuN.—On the day of the battle oi South Mountain,a temporary halt bud! been pad e at the base of the mountain. The fire of the enemy became awful. Gen. Sey- - mar exclaimed, " Won't some regiment aka that height?" Immediately R. Biddle Zoberts commanded his regiment (the First Pennsylv..nia Reserves) " FORWARD I" Or— ward he and his brave men pressed up the almost perpendicular mountain, over rocks, the rebels from the top pouring in a deadly fire, which caused many to roll lifeless to the valley; but onward the Colonel and the remainder of the men rushed, and in a few minutes reached the height. They were- lin possession of the height; the field was won; the day was ours ; the enemy were defeated. and driven in con fusion,with - great slaughter. It Wlll. be remembered that two of the Carlisle companies are attached to this gal- lint regiment. Company "1," Capt. Kauf man, and Company " originally com manded by Capt. McCartney. Company I, marched from Carlisle under the command of Captain (now Colonel) Todd, and haspar ticipated in many of the hardest fought bat. tics of the wdr. Capt. bwen, of 'bompany [l, was killed at South Mountain. M.NVIr.soN 11. 13AaNEr, a member of the Anderson Troop, died on Tuesday night last, at tho Seceder church hospital. His home was in Greene county, and his remains have been sent thither. The regiment has been ordered from Louisville, Kentucky, 'O. Nashville, Tents. A squad of twenty conva. lescoats left hero on Thursday morning to. join the regiment.
