Charles Rebstock another of the per-
sons wounded in the late unfortunate col
lision between U. S. troops and citizens,
on Walnut ST., expired last night after suf-
fering the most intense torture.
The U. S. District court was occupied
this morning hearing the argument of
Maj. Wright upon the question of juris-
diction of that court in the case Of Capt.
Emmett Mcdonald. The case excites
considerable interest---the court room be-
ing crowded. The U. S. forces in the
Northern portion of the city have received
orders to stop all downward boats and to
search for contrabrands. In accordance
with these orders the various boats pass
ing down were brought to them, much to
the surprise of the Officers of the crafts.
New York, 21.---The Tribune's Wash
ington despatch says, the rumor of de-
monstration at Harper's Ferry or else
where in Va. on or after the night of
Thursday is unfOunded.
A South Carolina Secessionist recently
from Va. by of Harper's Ferry reports
$4,000 troops insuficiently armed, dis
tributed at various points with view to
influence the election on Thursday. The
Virginians estimate the number at SO,-
OOO From what he observed he believes
it is the intention to attempt to transfer
the battle ground TO Penn, moving from
Harper's Ferry which in now strongly
fortified from all sides. Mr. Bailey Nc
Elret from the Worcester, Mass district,
has arrived from Enterprise, Florida,
where he spent the Spring mostly on &C
count of his health; He came via Savan-
nah, Nashville and Louisville. He was
advised that it was impossible to come
through Va. Having met two men who
had been turned back. His party con.
sisted of 80 including Northern school
masters, other invalids and two army
lieutenants. At Atlanta his baggage was
search by a committee of the crowd.
Special attention was paid to the school
masters by the troops, afterwards the
party divided No passes were required.
He had no trouble in Florida or on the
Journey. His invalidism was his protec-
ton. Mr.. Bailey reports soldiers every
where in motion towards Va, disciplined,
armed and equipped. At Chattanango
there were from 2 to 5000. He heard
no Union talk until he reach KY. Mr..
Walbridge has been recalled here to give
important typographical information. He
spent much time in the Carolinas, Ky.
Tenn. and Va. and is familiar with the
country. His information in relation to
the interior indicates that the operations
of the campaign are not confined to the
seaboard.
Gov. Letcher has issued a proclamation
requesting soldiers to vote tomorrow, IN
order to carry the secession ratification
bevond all question in the doubtful dis
tricts. 1t is said that electors will be
compelled to publicly declare their votes,
and if in favor of the Union they will
straightway be compelled to leave the
State. The Union men are uncertain
how to act in this dilemma. 1t Is also de-
clsred that travel into or through Va Will
be prohibited after Thursday, except by
special permission of the Governor. A
man calling himself Capt Beecher was
arrested as a spy yesterday in the N. }.
Brigade and held for examination.
The Herald's dispatch says, 1t appears
that more than month ago our gov gave
notice to the powers of Europe who took
mart in the Paris Congress in 1886, that
they were willing to accept the code they
adopted at that period-which declared
nrIvateering to piracy. Government has
received the amplest assurances from
Austria that she will have little to do with
the rebels whatever, whilst Prussia has
not hesitated to manifest IN plain terms
her unequivocal sympathy with our coun'
try.
The Secretary of State has given no.
tice TO Mexico and other States that the
Monroe doctrine will be carried out with
all the energy and resources of the govt
and that nothing in the shape of foreign
intervention will be tolerated or submitted
to FOR a single hour. Mexico has beer
, assured in the most positive language tha
she can depend on the active support o.
This country should any European power
auempt to violate her soil. A warning
has been given to Spain that if she ven
lures TO accept the artful proffer OF DO
m;nico she will do so at her peril.

com. has given orders for the manufacture
