The liesti's of the Federal possession of -Port Sumter, flashed over inrtherti wires, od last Saturday night. It seems that on Sunday hidtt, Nov. Ist, a night attack was made in boats, which terminated successfully, leaving the 144th Pennsylvania Regiment, in pos session of the works. The news was obtained Nat a captain of one of our vessels We have now hoisted the flag of our country upon t he very spot *here it was first degraded by the southern Rebels. General Sherman has formally assumed com mand of the Department of Tennessee, and has issued a series of important orders for its government and better instructions of his sub alterns. Genera! Grant said recently that he em.idered General Sherman • one of the very bv.t officers in the United States Army. Gen. 8 A. Hurlbut, who commands the Sikteenth Army Corps, under General Sherman, has is sued an order which puts an end to the "cot ton fever" which has recently raged so fiercely among our Generals. General Meade has sent his sick and wound ed men to Washington, and will von make another forward movement. The Rebels hold the line of the Rappahannock River from s .ulphur Springs to Falmouth. Our cavalry $1.60 1.76 2.00 VOL-1111. GREENCASTLE, PA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1863. forces have been thrown forward, and we may expect to hear of stirring events in a few days. The army is in good condition, and anxious szmag The Memphis papers of the 2d report briefly the repulse of the Rebel Marmaduke, who at tacked the Union garrison of seven hundred men at Pine Bluff. Arkansas. The Rebel force consisted of three thousand men, who were de feated with considerable loss. A Rebel force, said to consist of part of three companies of Casteele's men, made a raid to within two and a half miles of Heler.a week before last, stopping a wagon train and capturing a small number of mules. At last accounts our force; were in pursuit of the enemy. Knoxville dates to the 4th inst., announce East Tennessee as being cleared of Rebel troops, excepting guerrillas, who infest the country and harrass our wagon trains. The re cent fight at Roan Springs resulted in the de feat of the Rebels, who lost sixty nine killed and wounded. 1863. On last Tuesday morning Major Fritzgibbon, with one hundred and twenty men of the Thir teenth Michigan, encountered the guerrilla forces of Kirk, Cooper, Scott and Williams, at Lawrenceburg, capital of Lawrence county, and after a severe fight put them to rout, kil ling and wounding a number, and capturing twcnty•four prisoners. A forage train, sent out by Bragg, was captured in the Lookout valley and sent into our camp, the train guard being also taken prisoners. Sup. Judge et a In the recent fight with the Rebels near the Tennessee River, General Elooker's troops en countered their old enemy, Longstreet's Vir ginia Corps, and deleated him at every point The fight was waged during the dark hour of midnight, and our loss will reach near thref.- hundred killed and wounded. Gen- Meiga con) pliments highly the gallantry of the Eleventh Corps. • Major-General Howard, who advanc ed without firing a shot, charged up and oven a steep and densely wooded hill, and drove the Rebels at the bayonet.point frotn their position. Their timely-arrival to the assistance of General Geary decided the contest, which Longatreet designed. brief, as he et peered to speedily overthrow Geary by attack ing him with his whole corps. A second time ha the "newer of' Lee's army and Virginia chivalry" been defeated in Northern Georgia, and it looks much as if their prestige had de. parted.

A large bounty is offered by the Government to these volunteers and we have no doubt it Will be further increased by State, and County bounties. Each county and each town ship even, should ascertain its quota, and try by liberal inducements and strenuous efforts, to obtain the required number. There are 'so many who ob ject to drafting, who now will have an oppor tunity to enter the service by their free will and choice, or encourage others Co do so. The ranks of our armies will then be filled, and we may look for ward to a speedy termination of the war and con sequent crushing of the rebellion, Newspaper Law —As there is certain de finite laws in relation to the rights of publishers of newspapers, which do not seem to be understood,. we will endeavor to make a plain synopsis of them and solicit attention thereto. 1. A Postmaster is required to give notice /w /et ter, (returning a paper does not answer the law) when a subscriber does not take his paper out of the office, and state the reasons for it no being taken ; and a neglect to do so makes the Post Master responsible to the publisher for the payment. 2. Any person who takes a paper from the post office—whether directed to his name or another, or whether he has subscribed or not, is responsible for the pny, 3..11 a person orders his paper discontinued, ho must pay all arrearnges or the publisher may con tinue to send it until payment is made. and.collect the whole amount whether it is taken from the otitde or not.. There can be no legal discontinuanes until the payment is made. 4. If the subscriber orders his piper to he stop ped at a certain time and the publisher %ant limes to send, the subscriber is bound to pay for it if Ire takes iv out of the post office. The law proceeds onAho ground that a man must pay for what he uses. 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals from the post office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia evidence of intentional fraud.
