A DARING ATTEMPT AT ROBESRT.—A
bald attempt of burglars to plunder the
millinery sooms of Mr. James W. Co.
verly, of Boston, on the evening of the
24th ult., was frustrated, although •the
proprietor had a narrow escape for his
life. Mr. Cover'' , was sitting at his
deals about eight o'clock, after the place
had been closed for the day, when he
was suddenly startled by the appearance
of a young burglar, who descended
,through a skylight. Mr. Coverly de
manded his business, but the desperado
only drew a pistol and warned him away, -
at the same time advancing towards the
door. Mr. Coverly followed him up,
when the young rascal made his retreat
through the door, firing at the moment
of closing it. Mr. Coverly received the
. ball in hie right cheek, and although
stunned for an instant, pursued the bur.
glar, who took to his heels down the
street: The , street was well filled with
•
people, who were warned of the trouble
by the outcry raised, and the young
fellow was tripped up before he had got
across the street, and secured. The
-prisoner gave his name as Daniel Dela
.-ney, and hie age as tont) , fifteen years.
A young villain truly.
gar Quantrell's murderers are being
hunted with a zeal equal to the enormity
of their crime. Thus far 80 of them
have been killed on sight; no prisoners
have been taken and none will be. The
blood of Kansas is up, and not one . .of
the murderers will find safety outside of
the grave. Nenrly all the money and
goods stolen from Lawrence was aban

staff and little son, visited Bridgeport,
where the late extensive bridge over the
Tennessee was destroyed. While he
was there a rebel sharpshooter fired at
him across the river, five hundred and

striking the body of a tree over his
head; and anothir fired at his son, the
ball passing within two feet of the little

ear At Baton RoUge there is a con
trivance of the aoldiero for carrying wa

learn from the Gettysburg Sentinel,
that the whole matter has been arranged
in regard to the National Gamete* , at

gallant dead, who fell in the tekrible
battle there. About fourteen acres of
land fronting on the Baltimore turnpike,
between the Evergreen Cemetery and
Capt. Myer'e orchard, and extending to
Taneylown road, embracing the highest
point on the Cemetery Hill, have been
purchased by the State of Pennsylva
nia. Other States have been invited
to co-operate in the removal of the sol
dier dead to these grounds. The ar
rangements for plotting the grounds,
preparatory to the removal of the dead,
are being made as rapidly as possible.
it will be, we have not a doubt, decora
ted as such a spot should be, and will
be the point of many a pilgrimage by
the friends of the gallant dead, to cast
a flower, and shed a tear over their
loved ones. Those who have the ar
rangements in hand are men of energy,
and everything will be done to carry it
through successfully, and in a manner
worthy of the glorious event it is intend
ed to perpetuate.
liar From all accounts, the death of
General Pemberton is correct. lie was
on his way to Montgomery, Alabama,
where a military court of inquiry, to in
quire into the causes attending the sur
render of Vicksburg, was ordered to be
held. While at Selma, Alabama, he
was approached by an officer of a Texas
regiment, who accused him of selling
Vicksburg to General Grant. This the
rebel general denied, when, after further
conversation, General Pemberton at
tempted to shoot the Texan, who, how
ever, before he had effected hie purpose,
drew a revolver and shot Pemberton,
the wound producing almost instant
death.
liar The Richmond Enquirer states
that among the negroes captured by
General Stuart, in Pennsylvania, are
twenty men, women, and children, who
were born and bred in this State, and
whom, therefore, the South cannot have
bho most shadowy pretext of a claim.—
These colored Peoneylvaniane were non
consbatants, and their seizure was in
direct violation of the "usages of civil
ized warfare," of which we have heard
so much recently. They must be re
turned. If they are sold, or kept in un
just confinement, we trust the Govern
ment will retaliate with prOmptness and
severity,
gar Forney's last dig. at "Old Buck"
is thus given in Occasional's last letter
in 'rho Press : "Broderick, though dead,
lives green in the memory of the people.
The man who resolutely opposes crimes
against liberty cannot die. it is my
proudest recollection that I aided in send..
'ing Broderick to the Senate, where, in
the teeth of partisan rancor and the il
legitimate exercise of power, in behalf
of his country he asked that the future
historian should not charge to the coun
try the crimes then committed in Kan
sas, but'to 'a malignant old man, trem
bling and tottering on the verge of the
grave.'" T
illa" A practical test of what a small
body of infantry can do is shown in the
record of Col. Wilder, of Itottecrans'
army, who, within the last six months,
has been twenty-eight times through the
rebel lines, and has taken 1157 prison
ers, over 4000 horses, and many thou
sands of slaves. In his last raid he took
600 prisoners, SOO horses, and 250 slaves,
killing ten -guerrillas. :and mortally
wounding Gant, t' sir chief, while he
himself lost but one trooper. If such
work as this can' be done by putting
infantry on horseback why should it
not be done 2
eir Hon. Luther Bradieh, of New
York, died a few days since, at the
Ocean House, Newport. In his death
New York loses one of its oldest and
most eminent citizens. 'During his long
and useful public career, he was twice
elected to the State Legislature, served
two years as Lieutenant-G9verner 'of
the State, and subsequently, under Mr.
Filmore's administration, he was U. S.
Assistant `freasurer. He was :also
President of the Historical Society, and
first Vice-President of the American
Bible Society.
dir A man named Martin leanigan,
who resided near Rochester, N. Y.,
started for that city with hie wife on
the 26th ult., driving a horse attached
to a buggy, for the purpose of getting
exempted from the draft, he being over
age. It appears-that both were intoxi
cated, and while quarreling as to who
should drive, the horse walked over the
river bank, some twenty feet perpendic
ular, and all were drowned. The bodies
of thu man and woman were recovered
the, , next morning.
Ger The draft in New York is finish e.d.
In spite of the ardent wish of secret
traitors, the most profound oniet y was
preserved—not a riotous face was seen.
The whole number drawn is a little over
19,000, or one'ia six of the nurnber en
rolled of the first class, and one in five
of the voters for President—the highest
vote ever cast in the city.

WHAT TO DO:WITH &"GREFN-BACK."-
There is, just now, a way orusin g one of
Uncle Samuel's . pape r y * Dollars, so as to
get back the worth of many gold dollars
in a Single year. Everybody has heard
of Seth Boyden's wonderful new Straw
berel. Pram" all'acedlinta it is a mar
vellous thing—the berries nearly as
large * as hen's.egge, and as good as they
are large. Dealers were after it, offer
ing as-high as $3OOO. for the plants, to
speculate upon ; but ore are glad to
know that the enterprising publisher of,
the American Agriculturist got the
start of them, and bought up all the
plants, and is multiplying them in order
to give them away to his inbecribers !
This is in effect a free gift to the Puli
hc—for the Agriculturist, costing only
a dollar a year, is of iiittlf - Woitir Plan*Y
dollars to every one, as we* can testify,
having ourselves long been a reader of
it. To those unacquainted with it, we
would say that the Agriculturist is a
large Journal, of 32 pages in every num
ber, is beautifully got up, and is illus
trated with many pleasing and instruct
ive Engravings, which are elope Worth
the whole cost. The pages are litteral-
Iy filled with good thhigs—plain, prac
tical, reliable information upon every
thing connected with the work of the
Household,. the Garden, and the F arm,
—including a very pleasing and in
structive department for children and
youth that is hardly surpassed by any
of the professedly Children's Magazines.
The thousands of useful hints and sug
gestions in the Agriculturist, all pre
pared by practical workieg men and
women who know what they
. are talk
ing about—can not fail to. be_ worth
many dollars to every
_reader; whether
residing in, city, village, or country,—
There are special reasons for subscrib
ing now . : First, The rule for distribu
ting the Strawberry* plants is, ",first

Take our advice then,,and send a dol

secure the paper, and the extra num

great Strawberry list. If the plants are

°RENE FIRE.—The name "Greek fire"
is applied to a peculiar compound of
bitumen, napiha . atid pitch, that burns
on the surface of, or under Water. It is
compbsed largely of what the Chemists
call "arsenical alcohol," most destruct
ive in its effects, and, iii The course of
its discharge, emitting a most offensive
odor. "Greek fire" has frequently been
employed in European wars,. hut not
often in modern times. The secret of
its preparation and use was derived from
a native of Heliopolis, Syria, about a
thousand years ago.

lir Geo. W. Woodward was twice de
feated by the influential men of the old
Democratic party on pure issues of
sound national questions: First, in
1845, he was the Democratic caucus
nominee for the United States Senate,
to fill the unexpired term of James Bu
chanan, who had been appointed Secreta
ry of State by James K. Polk. That
caucus was divided, the Tariff Demo
crats earnestly protesting against Wood
ward's nomination, and insisting that hie
free-trade proclivities and professions
were all antagonistic to the true inter
ests of the Commonwealth. It was as
serted and sustained then, by men rep
resenting the strongest Democratic
Senatorial and Representative districts,
that George W. Woodward was opposed
- to the - protection of free labor, and in .
favor of bringing down the manufactu
rers and mechanics of the State of
Pennsylvania, to a level with the pauper
laborers and artisans of Europe. On
this question of the protection to free
labor, the honest Democracy. of Penn
sylvania, then in the Legislature, took
issue with Woodward, and with the ut
most boldness proclaimed their purpose
to vote for Simon Cameron. Accor
dingly General Cameron was elected to
the United States Senate on a question
of principle entirely. After the rebuke
which was thus administered to George
W. Woodward, by the friends of free
labor in the Pennsylvania Legislature,
James Buchanan, then. Secretary of
State in the Polk administration, took
the great defeated under his protection,
determined that he should have position
in some branch of the government. On
.the question of-free trade, Buchanan and
Woodward strongly sympathized with
each other. Buchanan had once de
clared that ten cents a day was full re
nfunerntioa for an . American laborer,
and because Woodward responded to
the sentiment in many a free-trade
speech, Polk was importuned to nomi
nate Woodward for a position on the
United States Supreme Bench; To
these importunities Pvlk at last yielded,
and Wo r odward's name was accordingly
sent into the Senate. The Senate was
largely Democratic. Before that body
George W. Woodward again failed—
nay, after a fair and impartial canvass
of his abilities as a lawyer and his char
acter as a politician and/a citizen, he
was rejected by the votes of Democratic
Senators.• The attempt on his part,
while a ' member of the Pennsylvania
Constitutional Reform Convention, to
disfranchise the foreigner, defeated Geo.
W. Woodward's nomination, before the
United States Senate, for a United
States Supreme Court judgeship. A
Democratic United States Senate made
this a question of principle. Thus was
Woodward a second time defeated, on
a question of vital principles, by the
honest men of the Democratic party.—

JOHN CRLTLL,
PRACTICAL HATTER,
NO 92 MARKET STREET,MARIETTA
TAKES this method of informing his old
friends and the public generally, that he
has re-taken his old stand (recently occupied
by George L. Mackley,) and is now perma
nently fixed to prosecute the Hatting business
IN ALL ITS BRANCHES.
Having just returned from the city where he
selected a large, varied and fashionable assort
ment of everything in the
HAT AND CAP LINE,
and now only asks an examination of his
stock and prices, before purchasing elsewhere.
Haring also laid in a stock of Ratting materi
al, he will be enabled, at short notice, to man
ufacture all qualities—froM the common Soft,
to the most Fashionable Silk Hat.
Employing none but the best of workmen,
and manufacturing good goods at low prices,
he hopes .to merit and receive a liberal share of
public patronage. The highest price paid
or Furs,—in trade or cash.
