The Egis.

Our neishbor of the .Egis, on the 10th
last, reiterated his charge of the 9th inst.
that g continued disingenuousness is the only
consistency the Spy ever exhibits We sup
pose our neighbor meant to prove his position ;
but as there is no particular indication Of this
in the article, we may be mistaken. Some
men study the ars logica, in order that they
may know how to confuse, not to convince
their opponents; the hysterical incoherency of
our neighbours article seems to indicate that
such has been the tendency of his studies
The argunaentun, tripodf4n,, either in the
hands of an angry woman or nervous Wing
editor, generally produces confusion /; but it is
also generally destitute of reason. 1t is i'm
possible for us to follow our nelghbor through
all his flights of oratory and excursions of
fancy; we can only undertake to harpoon an
idea at random, from the general undigested
mass, and allude to it en- passent.
From the day that the inception of the
Free Soil movement in the Philadelphia con-
vention, threw the Spy out of the Wing party
to the present moment, it has ui6fed and
abused that party, its leaders and its meas
ures."
Now, we plead not guilty to this charge
To vilify is to make rile and everybody
knows that we did all we could to prevent the
leaders and measures of the Wing party from
becoming vile. But we could not do SO. The
leaders were bound to become vile of their
own accord, in spite of all we could do or
say; and they did become so-as vile as the
Fugitive Slave Law, and the infamous man
who wrote at the end Of it, MrLLAnD FILL

Police COURT.

THURSDAY, Aug. II.
Before Special Justice WethereH:--WilIiafn
Armstrong was brought up, charged with the
larceny of one $40 gold piece, and one s.
bill, the property Of James Leonard, OIL the
18th inst.
1t appeared by the evidence, that Armstrong
and Leonard were drinking, and when the
latter was considerably intoxicated, the form
er induced him to give him up the money, on
the pretence that he would return it next day.
Armstrong subsequently denied that he had
received the money; hence the prosecution.
The court held that Armstrong was guilty
of the offence charged; and ordered him to
pay fine of $25 and costs Of prosecu-
ton, and in default committed for two
months. Armstrong appealed, and was or
dered to give bonds in the sum of 5000 to
appear before the Court of Common Pleas,
on the fourth Monday of September, next.

politics before the tribunal of public opinion;
but the hypocrisy was theirs; the condemna-
ton of it was ours,
Lying Spy is an opprobrious epithet,
which we have heard very often applied to our
cotemporary; but frank of speech, never"
We have not the least doubt of the truth of
the above statement. We do not think, how
ever, that it will tend to give very exalted
idea of our neighbours associations. Vulgar
epithets, that is, coarse slang, indicate vulgar
associations, AID if our neighbor does not take
care he Will soon be scarcely distinguishable
fIom his illustrious CO. partizan, the Trans
script, We have often heard the .Egis called
a "gentlemanly sheet" This epithet has, we
know, as little foundation in truth as the cpl
tibet which the .Egis intimates it has often
heard applied to US but it was certainly
great deal prcttier 1t was courteous and
gentlemanly; and true courtesy is largely
made up of generosity.
By-the-by, our neighbor makes allusion in
his article to " courtesy" He says:
"There is a courtesy prevailing among the
editorial clan, however, which our cotempor-
AIRY seems entirely to ignore, and to this fact
we do request its attention"
We have directed our attention to this fact,
and have diligently studied the -Egis for an
example of editorial courtesy, and have failed
to find it. Our neighbor doubtless believes
that he is the pink, paragon and cynosure Of
editorial courtesy; but he is not the first in
dividual who has adopted singular opinions.
Courtesy consists of elegance of manners,
united with kindness of feeling. Now if our
neighbor. had been polished in his manners
editorial manners, we mean-and generous in
his sentiments-edit sentiments, we mean
also, he never would have become the vol
untaxy means of corrupting the public NOR
ais, by repeating the vulgar slang which he
heard in equivocal society. We forgive him
for the deep injury he has inflicted upon our
feelings; but what measure of redress can he
make to the outraged sense of the whole
courteous community"
We think we have always treated our
neighbor courteously. We have been careful
to treat him mildly, from considerations which
he will doubtless appreciate when he has
gained more experience. We always intend
to do so. We cannot permit the "Whig
leaders and measures to escape our severest
condemnation, when those leaders and meas
ures merit it. But our neighbor may always
calculate upon our most abundant measure of
charity.

Summary of War News.
The news from the Danube is generally
favorable to the allies, but no great battles
have taken place.
On the morning of the 30th the Russians
attacked the Turkish and French camp at
Giurvego, but were totally defeated, with
loss of 1000 killed, and 800 prisoners. Two
hundred wagons arrived at Bucharest, loaded
with the wounded.
On the 9th the Russians retreated in forced
marches, and the Turks occupied Frateschi
Oltenitza was evacuated on the night Of the
9th.
The evacuation of Wallacha was completed
A proclamation had been issued declaring that
the allied soldiers who remained behind
would be considered deserters.
The Russian troops were being concentrated
on the Sereth.
Omer Pacha was expected at Bucharest on
the 3lst, and his reception would be most
brilliant.
1t is believed that the retreat is due to STRAIT
egetic causes, as no communication of the cir
cumstances was made by the Gear to the
Court of Vienna. 1t is also believed that
force must be employed to dislodge the Rus
slams from Moldavia.
The Austrian army corps, under Prince
Leckenstein, is ordered to advance from Pesth
to Gallachia. The army IN Gallachia is NOV
ing towards the frontiers.
The Arch Duke Albert has removed his
head quarters to the southeast corner of
Pennsylvania.
The total Austrian force on the frontier is
$4,000 men. The frontiers have not been
crossed, but the preparations for hostilities are
colossal.
Russia makes no warlike demonstration to-
wards the Prussian frontier.

Oil the City Farm, in the early part of the
season, is now rapidly progressing towards
completion. 1t will be one of the handsomest
structures of the kind in the State, when it is
finished. 1t is situated in the meadow, i'm
mediately below the present poor house; COM

building is after plan by E. Bovden, ESQ.,,
Of this city. 1t is cruciform and will be built
of brick and granite. The wings are to be
three stories high, standing 81 feet from the
underpinning 10 the roof. They are 40 feet by

will be SO feet four stories, high from the
basement to the ridge. This handsome edi-

every convenience for an aims house, and ju-

latter purpose it will probably be partially de-
