ORDER IN TowN.-Owing to the strin-
gent regulations made by Col. Ricketts,, of
the 9th Regiment, guards are placed in
town. No soldier is permitted to come
into the Borough without written pass
from the commanding officer. Any soldier
found intoxicated is forthwith sent to Camp,
accompanied by the guard. 1t seems hard
but such regulations are necessary, to make
recruits acquainted with the restraint of
military life. 1t is all the better, too, for
the men, who are thus kept from indulging
too freely in alcoholic drink, at the several
places of "liquor refreshmcnt" il this town.
Good order is now maintained at nearly
all hours of the day and night,-Green-

The citizens of Berwick and vicinity,
held "Union Celebration" on the Fourth
of July, in the Grove, near Evansville
We learn by the 'Bersoick Gazette" that
it was magnificent Celebration, and that
all things were transacted in decency and
good order, and to general satisfaction.
Hon. NJ. E, JACKSON, was the principal
Orator of the Day, and those who had the
pleasure of hearing his Address, inform
us that it was well-adjusted, tastefully
arranged and thoughtfully worded histor-
ical and national production-delivcred in
plain diction and comprehensive language
and merited as it received the universal
appreciation of his intelligent audience.

FIGHT IN MISS URI.
Eighty Rebels Killed TIco Hundeed IFounded


JEFFERSON CRY, July 1S.-The mail car
rier brings news of fight three miles this
side of Fulton, Galloway county, between
Col. Mcneil, with about 600 men, and Gen.
Harris, with force estimated at about 1000.
Six of the Federals and eighty of the rebels
were killed, and two hundred of the latter
were taken prisoners and their forces COM
pletely routed.
A later and more reliable account from
Fulton states that twelve of McNcils for
ces were wounded, including his colored
body servant. Mr.. Nichols, of Fulton, is
known to have been killed on the part of
the rebels. Only the advance guard of the
Federals were in the engagement, and were
fired on from an ambush. The rebels then
fed, and some OF them were seen afterwards
quietly at work in their fields as though
nothing had happened. Gen. Harris was
not in the fight, but was looking on at safe
distance.
A still later and official dispatch from
Col. Mcneil, states that he had met Harris
and completely routed him. Our loss, he
says, is twelve wounded. Harris force is
considerably diminished.
Sr. AuBERT, Mo-, July lS.-The Rev Mr..
Fisher, just arrived from Fulton, Galloway
county, reports skirmish between Col. Nc
Neil and party of State troops. yesterday,
in sight of Fulton, on the Jefferson city
road, in which eleven of the Federal troops
were wounded, two supposed mortally. The
State troops were dispersed. Col. Mcneil
is in Fulton awaiting reinforcements. Gen.
Harris was in Fulton yesterday, but not in
the engagement. His men were unmanage-
able and left Fulton by every road leading
out Of town. Only seventy of the State
troops were mounted. The camp at Wand
springs is supposed to be broken up.
Col. McNeil's advanced guard was at first
attacked, and fell back on the main body,
when the State troops soon retreated back
to Fulton in great disorder.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-An officer from

brings information that the troops which
marched from Fairfax Court House appear
ed before Centrevile about 10 o'clock this
incoming. They halted within half mile
of the enemy's entertainments and formed a
line of battle, expecting Il conflict The
scene is represented az Grand and imposing.
Instead of the smoke of battle for which
they were earnestly looking, they suddenly
saw the national flag hoisted over the town
and a solitary man running down to US an
nouncing that the enemy had fled. Soon
the bands played the Star-spanged Banner,
amid the cheering voices of the Federal
troops.

FROM GENERAL PATTERSON'S coli
INN

BUNKER HILL, July 17.-Much to the
surprise of the whole army, instead of pro-
ceeding direct to Winchester, we tool. up
the line of march this morning from Bun
ker Hill towards Charlestown, and now
have full possession of that noted town.
The reason for this move is that Winchester
is defended on the north side by strong
breastworks in the form of letter ", leav-
ing the town at the southern base of the
angle. 1t cannot be attacked on that side
without exposing the troops to destructive
cross-fre. The west side is defended by a
pallisade. but the east side is is only cover
ed by rail. On this side there is also an
emnence which commands the town. This
emiuence has been left unoccupied, ard it is
thought to be the design of Gen. Patterson
to secure it as base of his operations.

LIBEL SUIT.-We on Friday gave a
portion of the testimony elected in the case
of Henry Black against the Doylestown
(Pa.) IntelHgencer, the charge being that
of libel against the editors, who had de-
nounced the plaintiff as secessionist, trai.
tor, &c. The Jury, sitting in Philadel.
phia, on Thursday last, brought in ver-
dict of guilty. A motion for a new trial
was made. Taking this case as precc-
dent, there is chance for any number Of
libel suits on the part of the faithful and
good citizens who, because they could not
60 in blindfoid, without remonstrancc, into
ferocicus war against their late brethren,
under the name of "enforcing the laws"
have been denounced by the public press
as secessiopists, traitors, &c. Now, as
treason is capital crime, it stands to rea.
son that to charge man with it who is not
guilty of it, merely from political animosi
ty, or to damage him of his busines by
creating violent prejudice against him
throughout the community, is highly ac
tionable offence, and if the perpetrators are
not taught this experience, it will be be-
cause they are treated much more forbear
ingly than they treat others.

Who are Secessionists I

The New York Tribune is the organ OF
the Republican party-the Bible by which
they swear. The other day we chanced
by accident to observe remark in its ed
itorial columns which looks to us consid.
erably more candid than considerate. II
was this:
10 as By no means the specific duty nor
the special interests Of Republicans 10
maintain the Union."
And the reason given for this frightful
specimen Of indifference in regard to the
integrity of the nation by a journal that is
daily branding somebody or other as a
"traitor" who is more patriotic than it is
itself, is thus expressed:
"VltA the Stare States IN the Union ,
The Democrats aciN probably rule three
terms out Of tour; let secession become a
f1ed fact, and Me'r chances OF aSceRdancy
'0'H be msateriaNy lesssned"
We do not accept the doctrine Of the
Tribune for those of tue entire Republican
party, but we really believe that the ultra
and Jealous wing of it, which is by far
the largest, accept such heresy.-What a
shockingly selfish and narrow conception
of honest patriotism the individual must
entertain whose affection for his party sur
passes his love for his country
