Hon. Charles T.. Stuart, the personal
and political friend Of Douglas, and az
Senator in Congress from Michigan, e
few weeks ago rendered to the government
his services In raising regiment. Ii is
said shak the offer hiss bean refused, or
received Ia silence. No man Ia the
Northwest could assemble large body Of
of men sooner than Mr. Stuart. He has
had great experience, and IL Of marked
ability, and cannot be overlooked by the
government In so patriotic an ofger with
sat injury TO the eanss. IL Is said that
sertair, republican State and Congress
sional osEoyrs haze opposed the aeear-
tanca OF Mr.. Stuart's proposition. This
must be from fear Of his great popuiari-
ty, and IL, therefore, disoreditabae 10

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, writing under date
of the LIST, has the following newspaper
gossip:
The Tribune, like many others Of its
contemporaries, has been compelled to
sueeamb to the "pressure OF the tines
and accordingly il makes its appearance
TO- day In materially eurtailed dimensions.
One of its rivals, the World, see chroni"
cles the fact with u chuekle-albeit, If il
be true that the Tribune is in bad way.
the World may well fear that ii will come
to an end. Isuppose there can be no
doubt Of the prevailing impression among
journalists that no PAPER in New YORK will
more than clear expenses this year, and
few Of them, happen 70 know, will be
well content if they do that.
Tho religious papers are not sxenp'
from the losses incurred by the war. One
Of them, reputsd the most prosperous and
independent, would probably be in bad
way but fer the crumbs that are thrown
ii from Washington, ssfor sweet eharisy's
sake"
Hmay be added here that the San
newspaper vas sold at auction to- day for
the sum of SIS, 600, to satisfy mortgage,
4 few mouths ago the establishment
changed hands for $l00, 900. There is ar
interesting history connected with thess
transactions, which may write out fol
the Inquirer In day or two.

uiars of fight between ak companies
consisting of parts OF the 18th Pennsyi-
vania, Sd Wisconsin and 18th Massaehu-
sests, under command of Col. Geaxy, and
300 rebels.
Early yesserdy morning the rebels
showed themselves On Bolivar Heights,
al HarpeF's Ferry, and commenced an at
tack from artillery with three companies
under Major j. p. Gould, stationed on
the north side of the Potomac. A con-
stant fire was kept mp Cor soma hours when
three companies OF the Sd Wisconsin regi-
ment crossed the river, formed into line,
aHn drove the enemy back and succeeded
ia capturing one Of their heavy guns.-
They were however compelled to retreat,
which they did in good order to the river.
Here they we're reinforced By three other
companies, and they then, with Col. John
Geary at their head, marched upon Ehe
euszny. and after hard fighting rirove them
from their position, and re-capEured ths
32-pounderx-a colnmbiad- Oar forces
had bat three pieces of artillery, and thes<
were fired from this side of the river, until
the enemy retreabed. The enemy had
pieces Of artillery, and 500 cavalry to,
gether with their infantry, and Vas com.
pletely routed and driven back some three
miles. Our loss in killed aad woandeS
is not over seven, while thai Of enemy il
as least $50.
Col. Ashiey-who was at the haad o.

~ What is the use Of talking abou

gT What is the use of talking about
holding railroad corporations and employ
ees responsible for life and limb. These
corporations are power in the State, and
their influence IL great enough 10 control
legislation and justice. There is 10 use
in talking about holding them accounta-
Bile in damages. The only suggestion in
the Ledger which 10 good for anything is
that which would make the breaking down
OF bridge prigaa facie evidence OF Grim
iaal neglect in railroad employees and
subjec4 the Company to damages for any
disaster which might be the consequence.
Till this be declared principle Of lag in
such cases, railroads may and viii kill
their passengers with impunity. 1t sho'd
be made Statutory that every person killed
on railroad BY the breaking of a bridge
or by ans other criminal neglect Of the
Compan thai owned the road or Of its
employees, should subject the company
to q pecuuiary forfeit of not less than ten
thousand dollars.
This being the law, ali that jury wo'd
have to determine would be merely the
fact whether q life was lost By the care
lessnesss or neglect Of the Eaiirossd Com
pauy or of its employees. This would aoi
be dificuls TO judge Dubuque Herald.

Mcclellan stated his plans in detail, and
he has, by eonset Of all parties, assumed,

tire control Of the army of tes~Fotom"o.
He will consult and listen rs the opinions

authorities, but hsaGst be henceforth left
entirely to his D<h judgment and decision.
Napoleon like, he hears the opinions Of
others, but forms his own conclusions,
aud acts upon them. He asks this, and it
is ceded cordially to him. To him, there
fore, must hence be credited the success,
or charged the defeat Of our army"
