In the summer season, when the weather II
roof Is hardly felt, it !s not usual to find
crime SO prevalent, and beegAH at the sane
season are SCARCE The reason Is obvious. It
Is then comparatively easy work to obtain euf
fcient food to sustain life, and Is for q bed to
Eepose his weary limbs upon, bless you, none
Is required; the poor child Of want is fully
satisfied with his soft side OF a plank, under L
There he sleeps - soundiy as though beneath
hiA father's roof tree. The rats that play
about him only serve the purpose of keeping
him trom forgetting that he is wanderer and
an outeast.
The winter season, with its chilling winds
and cutting cold. Ice, SNOW, sleet, and its usual
effects upon the various callings from which
terrible influence upon the labofins man.
Work Is stopped Bread and butter are sub
jcct to the sarue process at the same time. II
is q much more easy transition under these
circumstances, from the honest laborer to the
srAcre Of the petty pi1fercr, bold burglar, or
robber, than the most Of people would believe.
The present winter Is IN instance in point.
Barglaries aud hrceniea have increased md
decreased In frequency Just in proportion at
the weather has been colder OF more mild.
Clothes lines and hen roosts auftr in relation
and proportion to rising and falling OF degrees
Farenhcit. Ten degrees below zero Is 4 won-
derfal thief; zero is no better; and 1t is not
until the temperate region Is reached that We
flnd crimes ot this character beg in to be-
come less frequent, So We learn that the win
ter's cold, the need or want Ut comfort, lie
lack Of protection against the storms anil The
winds, create crime. To be sure, mora1ists
will contend it should not be thus. Grant 1t
to be so, and still the truth Of the statement Is
not shaken.
Another lesson: Therc are those too poor to
I've, almost, who are not far enough reduced
to steal. They would work If they could find
work to do, but it Is not to be Lad yet their
sense Of honesty revolts against taking the
property Of another, even to clotle or feed
their freezins, fauishinS children We arc
informed that there are many tuch in our
midst. It would prove blessed comment
upon the inherent goodness Of the human
heart, and show that the lesson taught by
stern winter had not heen tau:ht wholly In
vain, were the charitable and benevolent of
the city to 70 out into the streets, seek out
these poor, honest families, and ca7y sub
stantial relief to their houses. In addition to
this, it would be onasof the strongest checks
upon the increase Of crime in our midst that
could be forged.

FROM MARYLAND.

DARNEsTowN, Nd, Sept. 70.
The latest advices from the Upper Poto-
mac state that Capt 0arnes, formerly Of the
rebel army was at Dam No. 4 with com
pany Of loyal Virginians, performing pick
ct duty.
At Williamsport and Hagerstown our
forces have been considerably strengthened.
On the Virginia side of the river from Har-
pers Ferry to Dam No. 5, there were about
400 rebels.
1t is said that Capt. Henderson was re-
Gently killed in Jefferson county by oAe of
his privaies, named Mailer.
I There are about 500 foot soldiers In and
around Martinsburg, but they were gener-
ally employed in taking up the track of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad from 0pequan
Bridge TO DuheIds Station, distance of12
miles and miles above Harper's Ferry.
I The rebels have succeeded in carrying of
three of the new locomotives, and were en-
gagged in taking to pieces forty Others. The
locomotives as well US the iron rails have
been dropped at Stephenson's Station, the
nearest point on the HsrpeTs Ferry & Win
chester railroad.
Nothing has been done towards laying the
track from Winchester to Strasbury, on the
Manassas road.
at Charlestown there are but two eompa-
nies of the rebel militia who are being used
as laborers.
At Winchester there are from 1000 to A.
900 rebel militia who are only half clothed,
half shod and nearly starved; they are al-o
being used as laborers. @
Their condition is deplorable in the ex-
treme, and they perform the duties required
of them with the greatest reluctance.
Gen. johnson was at Lees Fanquiear Sui
phur Springs, where he had been staying for
several days for his health. Of ttis fact
there can be no doubt.
The general impression among the people
in Winchester and Charlestown was that the
tule for croSsiney into NhEElard- had -nsnnaa
made.
The object OF uoving up from Manassas SO
large q rebel force was to cross over and take
possession of Frederick and other points,
should the Maryland Legislature pass 1as OF
dinancs of accession.

Gen. Fremont, q day or two since, made q
reqnisition of $500,000, to be paid imme-
diateiy on account of ordnance and ord
nance stores in st. Leuis. Gen. Ripley spe-
cialIy reported to-day upon this application,
first, that no authority whatever was taken
in the Ordnance Bureau for zen. Fremonfs
making the purchases. I'd, that vouchers
accompanying the application show that ex
eassive prices were paid for many of the ar
ticles There is no evidence from Gen. Ere

dergone inspection by any o. 8. officer or
reports that unless purehases ahu sxpenu-

oT. LOUIS sept. 70.
Lieut.. Harris, of Col Marshall's Illinois
cavalry, who was at the battle of Lexington,
has arrived here. He states that he disguis-
ed himself Ia the uniform Of the enemy after
the surrender, and passed their lines, escap-
y ing without taking the obligation. BE re-
ports large amount of gold, seven cannons
four tnousand Eve hHnd ed rifles and mus
kets, the equipments OF MsrshAll's and Null
Iigan's regiments, a number Of wagons and
a considerable quantity Of provisions fell
into the hands OF the rebels.
There were about two thousand two hum
dred engaged on our side, the balance being
sick or absent. The enemy's force is stated
at thirty thousand engaged and ten thousand
out on marauding expeditions. The surren-
der was made against the strongest protest Of
Ool Mulligan, who proposed to attack the
enemy with the bayonet, and die with arms
in their hands. The men we're willing to
follow him, but we're 50 exhausted that they
could have made but feeble resistance.
On Wednesday the 10th, Price, having
been reinforced By Green and harris, COM
menced most determined seige.
The fght lasted from o'clock on Wednes
day morning till o'clock on Friday alter
noon, curing which time the fighting was so
incesssnt that our men had neither time to
eat or sleep and water was very scarce. The
enemy erected breastworks OF hemp bales,
and fired upon She federal garrison from tree
tops, bill sides, and roof Of houses. Several
charges were made By the rebels, each of
which were repnlsed with considerable loss.
In the struggle on Wednesday for posses
sion of the ferry boats, two of our cannon
were captured, but they we're retaken after
severe struggle,
