sroN, with his far inferior force, did not feel
justified in attacking, and Winchester being
the common converging point of several roads,

lest MCCLELLAN or some other >1iemy might
get into his rear. He thus gains the advan-
age of choosing his own fighting ground against

excused for rcsuming his best position.

Mr.. Buchanan Robbed.

On Saturday night Or Sunday morning the
carriage house of Tx President Buchanan at
Whoatland was broken open and very
valuable set of harness carried Off The
thieves effected IN entrance by prying open u
door, and found tho harness in small closet
or box kopt Tor tho purpose. These harness
were purchased at Washington by Mr..
Buchanan shortly after his Inauguration as
President, at cost of $3.50. They are
heavily mounted with silver, and as tho
rogues will hardly attempt to dispose ofthem,
through fear of detection, it is likely they
will cut off the mountings, melt them down
and sell it as old silver. Tho silver alone in
this shape would probably yield them sever
al hundred dollars. After securing the har-
ness the roguos visited the ice house and car
ried off all the marketing that day purchas-
ed by Mr. Buchanan's housekeoper. The
rascals were apparently well acquainted with
the premises. 4 Lancaster (Pa. Express.

Down ON Musk --Godey, the popular
publisher of book for the ladies,i is constrain-
cd to speak out boldly in the June number
against that abominable perfume, musk,
which the ladies sometimes allow themselves
to be infested by. He says: "We contend
that no woman should be allowed to enter a
car or church who is covered with
this vile perfume. II is sckening to many,
and to many ladies it causes the headache.
In many places, where there is little yentil-
ation,, the smell is very Offensive and heavy,
The genoralsupposition is, that those who
use it have some powerful motive for doing
80 something upon the counter irritation
principle; the same reason that accompanies
gout person having that does not heed
lesser pain"

red from tho following extract from an ar

Affairs at Fort Pickens-Burning of
tho Privateer Judith.

The New York papers publish long letters
from Pensacola point from which we have
had but little news oflato-dated Sept. l4th.
They describe the burning Of the magni6-
cent floating dock by our men on the 3lst of
August, to prevent the rebels from sinking
it at the entrance of the harbor, and thus
obstructing the entrance Of cur ships. The
destruction of this most valuable piece of
public property was safely accomplished,
yet, as we are informed that the rebel force
at Pensacola is very weak, we cannot see
why the more economical policy of driving
the traitors away was not adopted.
The Herald's correspondent hints that
the existing quiet is not long to continue. :
He says: ..,.
Ere another mail reaches you l hope to be
able to chronicle such events as shall cleo
trify the whole country. The war must com.
mence here inearncst before many days, and
when it docs, look for such an expenditure
of powder as the New World has never be-
fore seen.
The most notable occurrence, however,
at Fort Pickens was the burning of the pri-
vateer Jud tn from under the guns of the
navy yard, which took place on the l3tl
ult. A dcserter appriscd our officers that
she was being heavily armed, aud would
soon attempt to. run the blockade. Three
cutters under command Of Lieutenant Rus
sell and occupied by 65 seamen, proceeded
by night, with muiilcd oars, to the shore
