Great Victory. A Dispatch at Wellsville, yesterday, reported a great battle between the Union, and Rebel forces at Harper's Ferry, re sulting in the capture, by our army, of Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson and ten thou. sand of his men, and the burning of his supply and baggage trains. This , is ru mor confirmed by telegraph, and is a probable, stoiy as the Dispatches given below indicate pretty !strongly that some general engagement took place. • BATTLE AT HAGERSTOWN. EF.ADQOARTERS ARMY OF POTONAC. Sept. 14-9 p. m. To lfoj.-Gen. H. W. HATLECK,Gen.-in-Chidf. Sett : After a very severe engagement, the Orps of Gen. Hooker and Gen. Reno have carried the bight commanding the Hagerstown road by storm. • The troops behaved magnificently.—' They never fought better. Gen. Franklin has been hotly engaged on the extreme loft. Ido not yet know! the result, except that the firing indica ted progress on his part. The action ciontinued until after dark, and terminated leaving us in possession of the entire •erest. It has been a glorious victory 1 I cannot yet tell whetlier the:enemy will retreat during the night or appear in increased force during the morning. I regret to add that , the gallant and able Gen. Rono is killed. GEO. B. SI'Cir.LLAN, Mj.-G en The Late Gen. Reno. Gon. Reno was born . in Pennsylvania, in 1825. He entered West Point in 1842, in the ordinance, in the same class with, Gen. McClellan. ' Proceeding, to Mexico as an artillery officer, he won promotion at Oerro Gordo and Chepulta pec. In both battles he commanded a battery, and at the last was wounded. lie returned from Maxie° a Captain. Subsequently he was a tutor at West Point, and Secretary of an artillery Board, in which capacity he was engaged two years in artillery experiments. Serving for a short time on the Coast Survey, he left that field of duty to build a military road from the Big Sandy River to St. Paul. Front .1354 to 1857 he was stationed •at the Frankfort (Ky.) Arsenal as second ordnance officer, and : afterward was ehi4 ordnance officer of the Utah Expedition, when he had the command of a battery Returning in 1859, he, was sent to tle Montgomery (Ala.) Arsenal, and subse quently, by Jeff. Davis, to Leavenworth. In the Fall Of 1861 ho was recalled to Washington, and comentssinoed a Brigi, dier-Gencral of volunteers, and ordered to report to Gen. Burnside, who was et Annapolis, fitting out his North Carolina expedition. 7 1.1 e nerved with distinction at Roanoke Island, Newborn, Beaufort, and other places, and was commissioned a Major-General of volunteers, his rank in the regular service being Captain. About the Ist of August last., with Gcn. Burnside's Army Corps, he. hastened to the relief of Gen. McClellan after ha bad reached Harrison's Landing, and subse-, quently to the Potomac. Parttoipating in the sanguinary conflicts under Pope, be finished his brilliant career in driving the invaders from the soil of Maryland. A dispatch dated Nashville, Thursday night, says that the city was menaced by the Rebels, under Gen. Bragg. Gen. Buelra whole army was hastening to its defense; fortificatiobs were being com pleted, and a vigorous defense would be made. The Hon. John R. Thomson, U. S.

President of the United States, fifty thousand of the free then of Pennsylvania are hereby called tpr immediato service to repel the now imminent danger from invasion by the enemies : of the country. Officers in command of company or ganizations, as authorized by General Or der, No. 35, dated Sept. 10th, will at once report, by telegraph, the place of their headquarters, so that , ord - ers may be• is slued from these headquarters for transpor tation to Harrisburg for such vompanies :is may be ordered to move. Further calls will be made for addi- dons! forces as the exigencies of the ser vice may require. The formation of Companies under the General Order of September 10, should continue to be made as rapidly as possible until• all the able-bodied loyal men of Pennsylvania are enrolled and ready for service. By order of A. G. CURTIN, Governor and Commander-in-Chief. A.L. RUSSEL, Adjutant General Penu'a. -Proclamation of Gov. Curtin.

Whereas, in the present position of affairs, it is expedient that measures should be taken to „lain and prepare our people for defence; Now, therefore, I d;) earnestly reoom mend,the immediate formation, through out the commonwealth, of volunteer com panies and regiments, in conformity with die militia act of 1858. ; Arms will be I distributed to the organizations so to be formed, agreeably to the provisions of ;that act. It is further recommended that, in order to give due opportunities fur, drill and instruction, all places of business be closed daily at three o'clock P." 31., so that persons employed therein may, after ,that hour, bu at liberty to attend to their military duties. The cheerful alacrity with which the men of Pennsylvania have hitherto given themselves to the service of the country has pressed heavily on her military re. sources. I am reluctant to ask her to assume further burdens ' ; but as their safety requires that they . should do so, it is in their behalf that I put forth the recommenditions herein- contained and urge a prompt compliance with them. Given under my hand and the great seal of the State at Harrisburg, this fourth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred- and silty two, and of the Commonwealth the eighty seventh. By the Governor, A. G. CURTIN. MAINE ELEOTION.—The vote in 21 towns of Maine is' 56,663 this year, against 65,895 last year—loss, 9,232. Last year Washburn, Republican, had in these towns 12,797 majority; this year Coburn, Republican, has 4,801. Ot the five members of Congress, Sidney Perham in the Second, District, James G. Blaine in the 'Third, 'and John H. Rice in the Fourth, are known to be elected; and there is no doubt of the election of Fred erick A. Pike in the Fifth. A correspondent writes us from York County, that the Republicans have lost the Congressman ih that: (the Ist) Dis trict—M. L. D. - Sweat having. ran out John N. Goodwin • (Repub.) by 150 to 200 majority in twenty-odd thousan , votes. He says the loss is mainly caused by the great disparity in the members of the respective parties 'enlisting—which, so far as he has observed, is in the pro portion of ninety Republicans to ten Democrats. Some dissatisfaction at the choice of Postmasters contributed to the result, but the change is mainly caused, by the above disparity. VERMONT.—The State Election, so far as heard from, is almost unanimous for the Republican Union' s Ticket. In some townships there are not enough of the Democracy left to say ','we !" Good for the North !—Now see the first election held in a Slave State I . - - - L j DELAWARE. — The, lrr ionowton Jonr nal & Statesnian joyfUlly.hnnounoes the election, on Tuesday last, of the entire Union Ticket by large l majorities over the Opposition, It announces the result as a glorious victory over Secession, as repre sented by the Democratic ticket. Let Pennsyvania imitate Oregon, the Eastern States, and Delaware. The 'Methodists have 313 clergymen in the Union army. Alexander M'Clure was recommended for U. S.

Turrell, Esq., of Susquehanna County, for • State Senator f6r twit district: Resolved, That we concede to Susquehanna County the selection of a candidate for the State: Senate, and instruct Qur Senatorial Con ferees to support for nomination the candidate she presents. r(!),,The name of Youngsvomanstown on the Philadelphia and Erie Rail Road, has been changed to Northpoint. The first name, al though having a very pleasaat signification, was deemed "too lone by the railroad men. . , Aggregate Quota of Troops to be Raised by Each Comity. ;The aggregate quota of troops to be raised by each county of the Common. wealth is now officially ascertained. These quota include the number already sup plied by the counties. ;,By direction of the Military Bureau, the names of all persons who have en listed in the regular army, in the navy, in the marine service, or who were among the volunteers for three months, or who are acting as teamsters, blacksmiths, bi l idge-builders, carpenters, clerks in , mil itary departments, &c., will be omitted frOin the credit of the different boroughs, wards, precincts and townships for troops already furnished. The number of troops i already furnished by_eaen borough,. ward or,' district, not inolt4ded in the above citation of ()lasses not exempt, will be deducted from the grand aggregate quota of eaoh county, 'by its military commis sioner. The number of troops so fur nished by eaoh county has not yet been officially asoertained, as the Deputy Mar shals have not - -yet made their return, to the Military Bureau. 1 ' There will also probably be a special draft to fill up the old regiments in the field, although the probability of such special draft is remote.

In such case the rays of light coming directly upon the pupil of the eyes, and causing an unnatural and foroed contraction thereof, soon perma nently injures the sight. Next, when your table or desk is near a window, sit so that your face turns from, not towards it, while you are writing. If your face is toward, the window, the oblique rays Strike the eye and injure it nearly as much as the direct rays when you sit in font of the window. It is always beat to sit or,stand, while reading or writing, with the window behind you, and next to that with the light coming over the left side—then the light illumines, the paper or book, and does not shine abruptly on the eye ball. The same remarks are applicable to artificial light. We are Often asked which is the best light—gas, candles, oil or camphene. Our answer .s, it is immaterial which, provided the light of either be strong enough, and does not flicker. An authorized dispatch from Washing ton says from careful calculations, it is believed that the entire number wounded in the late battles will net exceed 6,000; 'killed, 1,000, and 2,000 prisoners, prin cipally picked up by the enemy while straggling, and; who, with the exception of the officers, have been paroled. The Rebels treated the wounded most barber ously, leaving them without attendance, food or water, lying helplessin the midst of putrefying corpses. All of Gen Pope's Officers who were captured have been sent to Richmond td be the victims of Davis's retaliatory order. • Gen. Mitchell is put in command of the department of. the South, in place of Gen. Hunter. The department embraces ,Soiath Carolina and Georgia. It is un derstood that Gen. Hunter was relieved from his command at his own request. The appointment of Gen. Mitchell indi cates no change of policy in that depart ' went, so far as slavery is concerned.. Tar.

IMPORTANT D.CISION.--The ;Second U. S. Auditor I has, decided that commis sioned officers are not entitled { to the $lOO bounty offered by the Government to vol unteers.
