IMPORTANT ORDER.—We understand
'Gen. Couch has issued, an order calling for
'the organization of independent military com
panies for border protection against maraud
ing guerilla parties who - may attempt a raid
into the border counties. An order to this
affect was received hero on Tuesday evening,
-and Capt. W. W. Walker and others at once
commenced the work of recruiting. Of course
there will be no difficulty in getting a come
pony up here. The object being protection
to, our own families and firesides no persna.
sion for prompt compliance with the order is
needed.
RECRUITS WANTED.—It appears that
ten men are yet wanted to fill the quota of
Washington township under the last call for
troops. This number will be accepted on
application to W. W. Walker, agent for the
Ceinmittee, and the largest local bounty
paid.
.onr Borough also lacks two teen of a full

labor is established in Maryland on the ruins
of slavery, and the relations of master and

RUMORS.—This section has been rife
with rumors of the rebels coming for the
past week. There are evidently apprehen
sions of a raid felt among those in certain
quarters who should be advised as to the
movements of the rebels in the Valley of Vir
ginia, but whether these fears are unfound
ed or not, preparations for the worst should
be promptly made. Let meetings be called
and companies organized and drilled for an
emergency. Waynesboro' should turn out a
full company and the Township at least two.
The season for out-door employment will soon
have passed and all will have ample time to
organize for home protection. The oppor
tunity to arm companies is now offered, and
should we fail to embrace it, and rebel bands
enter and despoil us of our property, the pen.
ple themselves would be blamable for all loss
and not deserving of the least sympathy.
llnunasueno, Nov. 15.—A general order
has been issued from these headquarters to
the comtnissioners of the several cities and
counties directing an immediate enrolment
andielassification of the militia of the Com
monwealth, under the provisions of thb acts
of Assembly of May 4 and August 22 1864.
A salute) of one hundred *guns wag fired
here today, by direction of the Union In.
vincible Club, on Capitol Hill, in Honor .of
the re election of Abraham Lincoln.
se-A Washfiegton despatch states that the
greater portion of General Sheridan's army
arrived near Winchester on Friday. The reb
els are reorganizing their army at New Mar
ket, and are being heavily reinforced. This
change of base by Sheridan is said to be in
accordance with the programme previously
determined. The forage question has be
' cotna , a serious one with. the army. All the
hiy and fodder and, oats for many miles a
round has been consumed. All that the Gov
.
ernment furnished for quadrupeds' demand
had to be transported nearly forty mileS from
Martinsburg. To get nearer our base of sup
plies is therefore an object of prime limper
.trulce to the subsistence • of horses as well as
mea. The Valley is undoubtedly to be held,
but as it can be done thirty miles nearer our
base of supplies as well as at. Cedar Creek—
the position Sheridan' has jrist left—every
;consideration is in favor of the change.

GOOD ADVICE.—The Phila. 'Ledger
-says; now that the- election is- over, and the ,
event decided for four years, there is no
reason in keeping up the animosities, the
heart burnings and hatred which a heated
political excitement engendered. The man
whose political opinions have not been sus
tained by the people, should quietly sub
mit to the popular verdict, and those who
have been successful should have magnani
. .
mity enough to be satisfied with the victory,
without offensively parading it before the
eyes - of - a - political-opponent. The-strife.
the campaign should be forgotten, and with
them sheuld go into oblivion all the niek
names and bitter expletives applied so thought
lessly and so harshly by political partizans
upon each other. We should all remember
that we are Americans, interested in the bon
or of our country, and the stability of our
government; and from this time out set aside
our party estrangements, to unite in a com
mon support to the measures n&essary to re
store the one to peace and the other to au
thority. Then will the nation prosper.
WA terrible accident, resulting in the loss
of the lives of sixty persons, occurred to the
gunboat Tulip, of the Potomac Flotilla on
Friday last. While coming up the Lower Po
tomac, and when off Ragged Point, the boil
ers of the vessel exploded, rending the upper
portion of the vessel to atoms, scalding the
officers and crew, and throwing theni in all
directions. There vvere sixty-nine persons
on board at the time of the disaster, of which
number ten persons were picked up from'the
wreck by a tugboat, two of whom have since
died. An investigation is to be hal as to the
cause of the explosion.
fl Governor , Mown, of Georgia, who has
heretofore given a great deal of trouble to the
"Confederate" authorities, is again out in an
other peace manifesto. He asserts that Geor
gia has the right to "secede" from the so
called Confederacy, and in the message to the
Legislature of - his State he advocates the
right and power of each of the States in re
bellion to negotiate terms of peace for itself.
iterOne of the'most gratifying results of
the election in New . York, is the defeat of
that arch traitor and demagogue, Gov. Sey,
ST. Lours, Nov. 14.—Information has
been received here that Major General Can.
by, whilst ascending White River, Arkansas,
on the 6th inst. on the gunboat Cricket, was
shot by a guerilla from the shore, and that
the General was seriously if not fatally woun
ded in the groin, the bullet passing through
his body.
CAIRO, Nov. 13.—One. of the surgeons
who attend General Canby has arrived from
Memphis, and reports that the wound is very ,
serious. and his recovery doubtful. Genet.-
al Canby was on the deck of the gunboat
when he was shot, and the boat was immedi
ately turned back, and at the' last accounts
was making with 'all speed for Vicksburg.

Department of the Southwest.
. •• , sv7-14--4-clespatch-from_Gainee
Landing, dated the 7th instant, says that the
rebels had again attempted to cross the river
at this place to assist Hood. •
General Reynolds, of the 19th Corps, has
a brigade there, and Osband's cavalry brig
,ade was momendrially expected from
g Vicks
bulr.
t was supposed that the rebels have a
force on the Mississippi side co-operatincr
with them, and that the movement is formig
able, consisting of the Texas portion of the
rebel army, said to be under Magruder. But
it is not believed that a crossing can be af
fected.
• The Movements of Shernzan and Hood.
Apart from the rebel announcement that
Hood is marching on Chattanooga; the last
authentic intelligence received here is that
•he had passed the Tennessee liter, but had
not gone far beyond; and, even if he had done
so, he will probably find General Thomas',
or some other army, in his front—at all events,
a sufficient force to prevent him from ma
king injurious progress. No despatches have
been received horn Sherman for several days
past, for the reason, as is supposed, that he
is now beyond the means of immediate corn
munication with Washington. -
The past of the country in which be is
now operating will afford him ample subsis
tence without the trouble of transportation,
and by this time he may be far beyond the
point where the enemy, in formidable num
bers, can do him harm. 'lt is not known
how long our forces may continue to occupy
Atlanta. This will depend on circumstances
soon to be developed. Whatever may / tie
Sherman's programme, gentlemen who are
good judges of military matters anticipate
damaging results_to_the enemy.
NORTH CAROLINA.
PARTICULA Rd OF THE CAPTURE OF PLY
ROANOAK ISLAND, N. C., Nov. 2.—We
learn that nine of Lieutenant Cushing's par
ty are prisoners. The paymaster was cap-
tured and wounded in the the shoulder, and
the master's mate was killed. Lieutenant
Cushing has accomplished a great deed, and
has been the means of relieving a number of
good and loyal North Carolinians from dis
tress and starvation. •
After the destruction of the Albemarle, e
fleet, under Commander R. W. IL. Mae , rob,
proceeded up the Roanoke river wits in .a
short distance of the town, when they cam
to obstriittions, exchanged a few shots, and
returned. On Saturday, October 30th, the
fleet proceeded to Roanoke river through
Middle riser, bove the town, where they
shelled Plymouth with telling effect. On
Monday morning Commander Macomb steam
ed down the river, followed by the remainder
of. the fleet, passed the town, and givina. the
rebels shell / grape, and canister / to their hearts'

Macomb landed one hundred men from his

him back to Cedar creek:.
' HRADQUAUTERS 6Tit ARMY , Cowril; in
the Field near Koarnstown,Virginia,NWl.2;
—General Sheridan's change o f 'position
from Cedar creek to Kearnstown has indu
ced the rebels to again: advance •down the
valley. At an early hour this•morning skir
'wishing was resumed with -great briskness
along the whole cavalry line; but the rebels
were rather weak in numbers or spirit, far
they could not be induced to follow up our
piokets, who, in obedience to orders, fell rap
idly back when tbe firing commenced.
This system of tactics not seeming to draw
the enemy on to our main lines, Gen. Sher
idan sent off a large force of cavalry for the'
purpose of coaxing a . fight out of the rebels.
Our men are in high - spirits at the prospect
of having another fight before the campaign
closes. and hope that the rebels have brought
a large number of guns down with them.
MARTINSBURG, VA., November M.—lm
portant news is just in. from Gen. Sheridan,
up o mulffiglft7 - Th - e — strategie - reconnois ,
sauce by our cavalry on Friday, caused the
enemy's cavalry, under Lomax, to advance
avainst our lines on Saturday morning.—
Considerable fighting ensued, during which
the enemy were repulsed with great loss.—
Gen. Sheridan then ordered Col. Powell to
' pursue them in their flight; this he did with
the greatest vig or and succes. He drove
them through an beyond Front Royal, and
captured two guns, one hundred and fifty ,
prisoners, several wagons, and a large num
ber of horses. Our losses sre said to have
been considerable, as the fighting was ex
-tremely-warm_for a short time. No infant
ry were engaged, but Generals Sheridan and
Tcrbert were both at the front in person,
with the cavalry, and made very short work
of the fighting.
Col. Powell
and
the pursuit very
handsomely, and fairly merits the success
which attended it.
The escort which came in with despatch
es ftom General Sheridan last night was fir
ed on by guerillas when just beyond Bun
ker Hill, but they fled when the fire was
returned by our cavalry, The escort was
composed of some twenty-five, of the 17th
Pennsylvania Cavalry, under command of
Lieut. Corse.
REBEL ATTACK ON ATLANTA
The Enemy Repulsed by Pennsylvanians.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 14 —The rebel attack,
on Atlanta, wade:on Monday, the 7th inst.,
was directed principally upon the, 28th and
147th Pennsylvania regiments. The "boys"
stood up manfully to their work. They re
ceived the enemy with lively sallies, such as
"Here come the McClellan men, after our
returns :" They kept up, too, a brisk fire
until the rebels retreated.
The attack was a bold one, and; was evi
dently made on account of the newspaper
rumors of the evacuation of Atlanta. Sher
itian still holds that stronghold securely.—
Very few citizens are remaining there, and
• Chattanooga is tilled with thousands of ref
twees
As the train was going from Chattanooga
to Nashville, on Saturday afternoon, the car
containing the Pennsylvania election commis
sioners and agents ran off the track on the
Si? hiteside trestlework. The oar was partial
ly broken up, and was left toppling on the
edge of the trestle-work, a hundred feet
above the stream. The escape was miracu
lous, as only two persons were insured.
