WASHINGTON, Sept 10.
OUR VICTORIOUS ARMY.

The news Of the success which has at
tended our army in the recent battles
fought in Western Virginia and Missouri,
coupled with the achievements of our
navy at llatteras lnle,, and the slight
skirmish had with the enemy at LeN;ns>
vii the other day, has produced the
greatest hilarity among the Union men o!
this city, composed as they are Of the den
izens Of almost every Northern State, who
are now hocking in great numbers to the
Federal city. At the hotels and on the
sidewalk these topics are discussed with
the creates avidity, and even the hopes
OF the most timid are again being revived.
Among the troops, who are in receipt OF
the news almost the very momentit is set
aAoat in the city, there is no end TO the
enthusiasm manifested by them, and the
good time coming, when they will be
enabled to emulate the noble example OF
their brethren in arms, is looked forward
to with great anxiety.

BOLD MOVEMENT of the REBELS


" = w I WI W Atits
A gentleman who has just arrived from
Mount Olive Church. says that this morn
ing the Rebel pickets fired upon ours, who
were stationed near Halls House. Our
pickets returned the fire killing seven
and wounding quite n number. Fortu
nately we escaped without loss.
About noon the Rebels received rein
forcements and towards night surrounded
Halls house and captured a lieutenant
and four priva.es of the Maine regiment,
who were on guard there. Our pickets IL
red upon them and then fell back to Mt.
Give Church, and finally to Bells Cross
Roads. The Rebels threw shells into the
woods where our pickets were, and also
towards Balls Cross Roads,
About six o'clock they had increased
their number to four or FIVE thousand on
Halls Hill, and fired house and barn in
the vicinity. In about an hour afterwards,
five more buildings were in blaze, just
IN the space from whence our pickets
were driven, The flames shot upward to
a great heighth, aud were plainly dis
cernable from the Capitol BY this move
ment the Rebels have gained possession
of hill only ono mile and a half from
Fort CorcUan, less than three from

cry aatiUe. born citizen nat,Talscd, by requiy>
ilg every nan to take and subscribe the
new oath, and swear allegiance to Lincoln,
Cameron & Co., or be branded traitor,
This mode of making patriots has been
found to be very cheap. 1t takes more
than oaths to make some men do what
other men may think right. A Republi'
can member of Congress, at the late extra
session, was perhaps not far from the
truth when he expressed the sentiment
that unnecessary and compulsory oaths
wero only taken TO be broken. ...

EagGov. Cullin wont 10 Mnshinaton

BJ7 Gov. Curtin went to Washington
last week and presented a Flag to the
Pennsylvania Volunteers, made hand
some speech to the soldiers, and "re.es-
tabshed amicable relations with Simon
Cameron" This latter was doubtless the
real object of the trip to the Capitol, 1t
is well known that "a state Of war" has
existed between these two worthless, prov
ing great bindrNnce to the cormorants
hanging around the War Department.
The Governor, until now, has had to quar-
ter his followers upon the State Treasury
alone; but it was found that there was not
enough there to supply them all, and un-
der these circumstances the twain have
been made oneas if for common purpose.

Gen. Benz C.. Howard. Reporter Of the
United States Supreme Court, and the
nominee Of the Peace party for Governor
of this State, and Mr.. John g. Bruue, OF
the House Of Delegates, have also been
arrested
These arrests were made by the militia
police Of the city, who acted under orders
issued 10y the Department of State at
Washington, and they were 20 que tly ef-
fected about midnight that but few per-
sons were aware OF the proceedings. In
the case of the Mayor, a small party first
proceeded to his city residence, North
Calvert Street, hoping to find him there,
but hearing that he was at his country
seat, rear the Relay House, they drove
there, and he was soou on his way to Fort
MclIenry.
About twelve o'clock detachment: of
thirteen policemen with a carriage, pro.
ceeded TO the residence of Hon. Henry
May, Charles street avenue, and took
that gentlemen into custody. Mr.. May,
at the time of his arrest, was in bed, aud
after few PARTING words to his wife,
quickly dressed and left with small
package of clothing. He merely inquired
for the Authority Of the parties who came
to arrest him, and then occupied a seat in
the carriage.
As far as could be learned, there we're
no specifications or charges made by the
parties who arrested the prisoners, with
the exception Of Mr. May. One of the
mon present stated that they were acting
under the authority of the Provost Mar
shal of Washington City. All were quick
ly driven to Fort McFlenry, but their ul-
innate destination is unknown.

opened with shell, which was replied to
by GIitlin's battery. Several rounds were
fired on each side, when our troops ceased

R, u. MooRE.-This chap has lately
been appointed P. NJ. a! Luthersburg, and
has already proved himself as reckless in
the discharge of his official duty as he is
ignorant Of the common amenities of life.
After numerous complaints from our
subscribers at that office, we addressed
him PRIVATE letter, which he has
seen fit to publish. 1t took him nearly
two weeks to find man mean enough to
dictate for him. Of the propriety of pub
fishing pritate letters, we allow the public
to be the judges-not doubling that they
will agree with u.s. that the individual who
does il is meaner than the dogs that lick,
ed the sores of Lazarus.
"Let no man trust him none forbear to shed
Contempt-and deep dishonor-on his head
Let euiltless children--as he passes by
Shrink from his touch and shudder at his eye
Let lovely woman loathe him with disgust,
And shan him like reptile in the dust"

Bea.It does us good to see our "irrepres"
sible" contemporaries copy so largely from
the great Union speeches Of our Demo
cratic leaders. The fact that the Demo.
cratic party has always been for the Union,
is the reason why their speeches sound SO
patriotic. If they had published such
speeches in times past, instead OF the
sectional TRADES Of Abol-
i,ionists that used to pollute their pages,
how much better would be the present
condition of oar poor bleeding country!
We should like to see Union speech
come from some of our Black Republican
Generals or Statesmen, similar to those OF
Douglas, Butler, Dix, Holt, Dickinson, &c.
Why do not those political jugglers over
the way publish a Union speech made by
Giddings, Wade, Lovejoy Sumner or Will
son-all high in the affections of the pres
ent Administration But this they cans
not do, for the very good reason that such
men never made Union speeches.

PERU.-Peru is an exceedingly unsettled
and disorganiZed State, with the hourly pros
pect of smother revolution breaking out.
Echenique is still kept close prisoner at the
Island of San Lorenzo, without any apparent
charge against him, and the treatment he has
met with in being refused trial, has created
a very i'll feeling against the government.
President Castillo spends the greater part of
his time gambling at Chorilas, and it is rarely
a chance can be had to see him except at the
card table. As he is the government in toto,
and the tribunals OF Justice, the treasury and
everything else are dependant on his nod, an
idea may be formed of the dreadful misman-
agement to which every branch of the govern
ment is subjected. 1t is safe to say that in no
country in the world, pretending to civiliza-
ton, does anything like such corruption exist
is to be met with among the government
officials of Peru. The President, notorious
disspa.ed gambler, who squanders the public
money most reckleSsly without a solitary cent
ever going toward the public good, burdens
the country with an enormous standing army,
merely to keep himself forcibly in power a.
gainst the will of the population. The Minis
ters of State, Judges, and all under them fol-
low in the footsteps of their illustrious leader,
and are controlled by bribery and dishonesty
in every act they commit. To such extent
their frauds and swindles carried that they
become bye word in the streets.

VALPARAIso.-The people OF this city have
been startled by the news newly come from
the Eastern side of the Andes. The Argen-
tine town of Medonza has been completely de-
stroyed. Five thousand persons are said to
have fallen victims in an earthquake which
happened on Wednesday of last week, the Goth
of March, little after half-past eight in the
evening. Scarcely building remains stand
ing. Some reports say, not single house
remains-that the place has disappeared, and
is nothing but an extensive plain of ruins.
Eye witnesses give most heart-rending de-
scrption of the events with which they were
personally and painfully cognizant. writer
cries from subterranean voices, meaning from
those buried under the ruins of houses, beg
ging to be extricated from their dismal I'M
prisonment. Here were parents in frantic
search for their children. And here children
trying to discover extricate their parents.
