THE LATEST wAE NEWS.

It ia considered certain that an advance of
Federal troops from Cbambersburg is to be made
to-day, though the closest secrecy is msintaIned
as to det, ,-, aud authentic information cannot be
obtained. There were also rumors Of move
meut from Alexandria toward Fairfax Court
House or Manassas Junction, and the latest news
states that McDowells command is Immediately
to advance. Stirring events are looked for.
The cannon have been removed from the
flights opposite Hsrper's Ferry, but 400 Ken
tucky tro"ps arc still stationed there. 1t wss
thought, however that they would be more like

adyance of Butler on Richmond. In the engage.

changed. One of them struck the Harriet Lane
and passed through her bulwarks q splinter seri-
ously injured one man. and lightly wounded some

THE PATENT LAW OF TIE MONT
GOuEEY CONsPgRAIORs.

If there il any description Of private property
which should DO held sacred in tie midst "i hos
| tilitles, it is the property of Ingenious men in
| their inventions aud discoveries. The laws Of all
civilized nations seek to protect such property
| by the most stringent provisions; aud ttey are
| daily becoming more liberal To inventors, aud
more general IN their efforts 10 admit the largest
number to the enjoyment Of their privileges. In
the eye Of the Patent law, an inventor is q citi-
zen of the world, aud entitled TO the aid Of all
Governments in realizing q due recompense for
his lab rs
We need not be surprised, however that the
Montgomery consprat"rs should think that they
can mike good tang Of it by throwing open
the r ,de in Northern patent rights for the beb,it
of Southern CONSUMERS. Every thing is b. bs ac-
counted fish that comes to their net. From tue
appropriation of oil Federal property within the
borders of tho revOtrd States tO their own use
there was but ono strp ~ the application Of the
sponge to all the debts of their citizens to the
citizens Of the 10y al States. The next step is to
commission pirates to seze all tho private prop
erry of loyal citizens on the high scar. Thevipg
capable Of rObblng 10 commit larceny; so II 10
the Ia ,st natural thing IN tho world for this
Montgomery Congress to attempt to steal from
inventors, as well as to plumber our merchants.
Ii seems that these gentlemen, among their
other acts at the late session, passed very long
and very elaborate patent law, covering no less
than thirty pages of Gogernment iool'cap
printing. IL is said ~ be in many respects sni-
lar to the patent Law of the United States. The
motive Of its passoge, We aPrebcnd, must bo
very difIerent-us different as pluuder Ii from
DrotectiuD. The number Of useful Inventions and
discoveries made in the revoted States IL rx-
ceedingly limited They would hardly justify the
expense Of Patent Office, in the present condi-
ton of the funds of the Con'ederates. So Mt
least ttirty-sis and u half of the thirty-se'en
pages Of their patent law are nero snrpusaee,
and tho whole glst ot 10 is contained in short
section which recognizes oil patents herefcJore
granted by tho United States to any prrs"n or
psrsons now citizen or citizens Of any one Of
the Confederate States, or of Tennrssee A'kaD-

The region now covered by the S ate of Ar

But, i, accordance with call from her Tern-

and submltt-d TO Congress, which considered
aud opp owed il, aud authorized her sdml'si'n as
II Stale under said CUnst'tntIon on certain eI-
press aud Indispensable conditions. Thereupon
to first State Legislature Of Arkansas was
elected nbd convened, aud proceeded, in accord

said, to pass sn act whereby the propositions set
forth III ian act [of CoOgress] supplementary
to an act entitled an act for the admls-

Arkansas, thus constituted, has ever been an
intensely Democratic Pro-Slayery State. The
politicians who created, nodded aud have always
managed her besan by borrowing several millions
of dollars t. form the capital Of certain State
Banks. Having tbus borrowed it into the
Banks. they borrowed IL ont again into their

TORY

| IL seems to be anticipated in some quarters
,hat the Muse of lII,tjry, long years hence will,
| ers she liits the recording pen, ponder over

Johnston that two or three houRnd slaves, six or
eight miles away, taking advantage OF tho fight,
had risen in rebellion, procaimed jubilee, and
were in full flight toward the North star slant

lhes sounded truce and each took up the line Of

will observe with interest the important move

merce by the Hon. Samuel Is. Ruggles, 10
ascertain, through the scrutiny of n responsible
Committee of that body tho progress already
made in the various inventions for substituting

is deeply interesting not alone in its highest
political aspects, in sethog toe course Of foreign
uato ous 10 compelling thl, country to submit 70
thor demands for breaking the blockade OF the

owners of our va't interior regions, possessing
the uec-sssry sol for cheap and abundant sup
ply Of lax. The product of every IN lllon Of
oalrs Of fax fiber would animate not only our
manufacturing industry, but would largely swell
