It appears on in vestigation, tlmt Fisher i ruber a s'ipery tlwpj his own statement is rather unfa vorable. The lust charge is for deser ting from Waterford cauip, after being received as a substitute for Sheriff Perks pi Clearfield. It has been rumored for somo time back, that the office of the Provn9t Mar. iJhal. was to be removed from Waterford tojhis place, which has proven to be the fact. Marshal's Campbell & Benson hare been here nnd ceoured a building for an office nad another for a clothing room. So far ns we are concerned, the arrangement suits us first rate and cer tainly think our hotel keepers and other business men of the place, would be liighly pleased. Ridgway is the centre of the district, where in fact, the office should have been located in the start; but for want of a Rail Road, Telegraph &c. it was not.

The rebel attack on Atlanta, made on Monday, the 7th intt., was directed principally upon the 28th and 147th Pennsylvania Regi. ments. They kept up a biisk fire until the rebels retreated. The attack was a bold, ono and was ovident'y made on aeoount of 'he news paper rumors of't!ie evacuation of Atlanta. Sherman Kill holds that stronghold securely. Very few citizens are remain ing therfi, and Chuttauooga is filled with thousands of refugees.

This scroll I therefore i in. nginc to hold the key to the enigma pre sented by the many anomalous appear ances I have described and am about to describe. In the amphora, beneath the urn. are a number of ornaments of goldand silver, such as were worn by Saxon females of rank; among them is a kind ot rude loeket containing a long tress of flossy yellow hair. The ornaments appear to be a set, as if they had belanged to one person; and this fact, coupled with the presor.ee of the hair, leads me to suppose the ashes contained in the urn to be those of the owner both of them and tho hair. The amphora also contained a small packet of coins, neatly one hundred in number, of which forty-three are gold, and of the reigns of Roman Emperors llonoi'lius, dating A. D 410, a few of Hadrian, Antouius, and Severn, with earlier dates. The remaining coins are silver, propahly Sexon, but owing to their mutilated and defaced condition I am unable to say positively. Ou oue only is a date visible, viz., 405. From these dates, as well as from the Saxon oinamtuts, I am inclined to refer the remains to about the dat : of the fiist arrival of the Saxons in Britain.
