pa Why don't you volunteer? We
mean you who are doing nothing, and
complain that you can get nothing to
do! Now that the election is over, and
it is settled that the rebellion is to be
suppressed, why don't you go and help
to do it. The sooner it is done the
sooner you will get into employment
again. It was this wicked rebellion,
prcstrating the business Of the country,
which has shut up the furnaces, facto-
ries, the mines and the workshops of
the country, leaving you without the
means of earning a living. 1t aeM be
,corse than 1t as noao, If the Rebels are not
soon conquered. But to conquer them,
requires men. Your interest requires
that they should be conquered. Until
they are, the reward of industry is ta-
ken away. But IN its stead, the Gouern-
ment noao offers you thirteen dollars PEI,
month, cash: acith good boarding and
clothes, and one Aundred dollars bounty,
and a clear title TO q splendid home, at
the end Of the arar! Many of you have
been working hard at what you called
good wages, for years, and now, that
business is prostrated, you find your
selves destitute, with nothing to do
Here is an offer, that in three years,
possibly in as many months, will put
you in a better condition than it will be
possible for you to attain in ten, in any
other way! Look at the thing with the
eye of common sense, and then volun-

The Enve1ope-L etter.

The combined envelope letter, or let
ter-envelope, which has just been pre-
pared by the Government, is one of the
most useful contrivances that we know
1t presents US three separate things in
one, viz: sheet of letter or note paper,
an envelope and a postage stamp, all SO
simply put together that one may use
them with more ease than he would the
old envelope. The advantages are, first,
that the ole costs less than the ma
terials would separately, thus ofsetting
an important economy for those who
write many letters; second, the stamp
cannot be stolen or rubbed off, which is
a matter of some consequence when we
remember that nearl y a million Of let
ters are returned to the Dead Letter
Office annually that have suffered in
this way; third, the postmark is always
on the letter itself: which can, there
fore, be used in courts of justice, as a
legal proof or document, as to dates,
contents, ETC.; and, fourth, as the sheet,
envelope and stamp are one, time and
trouble are both saved in conducting a
heavy correspondence. These are ad-
vantages which must commend them to
general use Let US add, what many do
not seem to know, that they can be
had, like the ordinary stamp, at the va
rious postoffces.

The Newspaper Business.

Ahe newspaper
The following true state ment by the
New York Tribune, may have the effect
of changing the opinions of some iudi-
viduals who imagine newspapers to be
making money immensely out of the
war, because their circulation is large:
The circulation of American dailes is
this year larger than ever before, yet a
great many have recently been discon-
tinued because their patronage was in
adequate to meet their current expenses.
We doubt that single daily in this city
has paid its current expenses through
out the last four months, or that dozen
in the Union have so. Dailies live by
their advertising, and this inevitably
falls off in times of business stagnation
or depression.

THE REBEL SCHEME AT 1IARpEK's
EFFRRY.

The Washington Republican gives the
following account Of the deception used
by the Virginia Rebel leaders to pos
sess themselves of the armory buildings
at Harper's Ferry. The statement is
furnished by one whose veracity IS
vouched for, and who has been lferer
by the thieving depredations commit
ted by the Virginia outlaws. 1tappears
that the passage of the Secession ordi-
nance by the traitor convention of Vir-
ginia was at first secret, and before its
PRONUNCIATION at Richmond, the dele
gates from the Hsrpers Ferry region
had returned to their homes. The in
stant Of their arrival there they sum-
moned together the militia officers of
their neiehborhood, told them that an
other 81 ohm Brown raid had been made
at Harper's Ferry, and that they had
been sent by Gov. Letcher, in obedience
to a requs.tion made by President Lin
coin to call out the militia to repel the
invasion. This appeal was promptly
responded to, and Harper's Ferry was
taken possession Of by body of men
who believed they were acting under
the authority of the United States Gov
ernment, and who never understood
their true position, until, after few
days, they found strangers, Secession
leaders from the South, superceding
their officers, and strange soldiers from
distant parts looking with suspicion
upon themselves. Dr. Funsten, of
White Post, Clarke county, at present
distinguished as proscriptive and cruel
officer of the Rebels in that region, was
peculiarly adroit and energetic in con-
summating this great act of villainy,
which, like almost every act as yet per-
formed by the Rebel horde, is charac-
terized by meanness, falsehood, and fraud
toward the loyal and peace loving por-
ton Of their own citizens.

Release of Wounded Prisoners at Rich

mond.
FORTRESS MONROE, October THE
steamer Express met, by agreement this
morning, the Rebel Steamer Northum-
herland with flag of truce, twelve miles
above Newport News, which brought
down 81 wounded prisoners, who were
released yesterday at Richmond, cap
tured at Bull Run. They report there
about fvc thousand troops in Richmond;
that the Rebel army on the Potomac is
supposed to number over one hundred
and fifty thousand; and that apprehen-
sions Of an attack on the seaboard causes
the greatest anxiety. Powerful bate
ries have been erected along the James
river in anticipation of an advance of
the Federal army in that direction.
The armament has been removed from
the steamer Jamestown. The prisoners
did not see the Yorktown.
The troops at Richmoad were com
posed Of North Carolinians aud Geor-
gians.
Gov. Brown, of Georgia, has recalled
five regiments to defend the State.
The Rebel troops were suffering
greatly from the want of medicines,
clothing, and certain kinds Of food
Articles cut off by the blockade were
bringing fabulous prices.
The wounded prisoners were released
for the reason that their wants could
not be supplied, They have been
obliged to sleep on the floor during their
Imprisonment.
General Beauregard was at Manassas
and JEFF. Davis returned to Richmond
on Saturday, in feeble health. Specu-
lations were rife as to his successor.
Seventeen Of the released prisoners
who are unable to go home have been
sent to the Old Point Hospital.

A Regiment of Rebels Destroyed.
The Davenport Iowa) Gazette of the

The Davenport (Lowa) Gazette of the
9th inst, says:
A few days since telegraph dispatch
announced that about one thousand
rebels were at Platte City, and column
of Federal troops from the line Of the
St. Joe Railroad were in pursuit of
them. We learn from citizen of A ia
lissa, in this county, who has just re-
turned from Easton, Missouri, where he
had been visiting wounded Iowa boys by
the Platte River disaster-that the Fed
eral troops above alluded to were the
Sd Iowa Regiment, in command of Lieut..
Col. Scott and Maj. Stone, and they
drove the Rebels across the Missouri
River at Liberty. BY mere accident
Gen. Lane was just marching into Lib
erty at this time with 1000 men for the
relief Of Col. Mulligan. He immedi-
ately attacked the Rebels, and killed
and wounded 725 out of the 1000, and
Scott and Stone then joined his column,
and all proceeded without delay to rein
force Mulligan. This fight occurred on
the 10Th inst.

Attempt TO TIN oyv the train Containing

A train left this city Monday night
to take up from Eminelce, the Four
teenth Ohio Regiment. AS the train
neared Christiansburg, Shelby county,
the cars were stopped by some fence
rails, which had been thrown across the
track by some devils in human shape,
three in number. The train delayed
long enough to arrest one of the men,
named Allen Newt, but suffered no
other detention; nor was there, provlden-
TALLY, any damage done to any one. On
the arrival of the train in Lexington,
yesterday forenoon, the prisoner was
marched through the city on his way to
jail, when an lrishman, name unknown,
stepped up, and on learning the crime,
dreao a knife and cut Ncuus throat iron,

and taken to Jail. When the train left

was not expected to live,

The Right Doctrine.

The people of Philadelphia, of nearly
all shades of politics, celebrated with
great feeling, the anniversary of the
adoption of the Federal Consultation,
by the National Convention-the 18th
Of September. The military arrange
ments on the occasion were brilliant
Mayor Henry presided. The commit
tee on resolutions reported the follow
ing, which set forth the true doctrines
of the Federal Constitution:
Resozred, That the Constitution OF
the United States is the supreme law OF
the land, and that there is no founda-
ton any where within its provisions, OR
outside of them, for the assumption that
allegiance is primarily due to the States,
and only secondarily to the National
Government.
Resoloed, That the Union establised
by the adoption Of the Constitution is
and was intended to be perpetual.
Resolred, That to that Union we owe,
under God, all the prosperity which we
have hitherto enjoyed; that it is the sole
guarantee Of our liberties; and that
without it VIC would fall into state ot
confusion, anarchy, and intestine wal
utterly destructive of our highest bless,
ings and our most precious rights.
Resolrel, That the doctrine that a
State may absolve its citizens from theil
national allegiance, and may withdraw
at will from the Union, is monstrous
political heresy, and the attempt to ex
ercise this pretended right is a crime o:
the deepest dye.
Rcsolced, That while such crime il
attempted we will recognize but two
classes of men-the friends and the en-
emies Of our country will devote
our whole energies and expend ou1
whole means to sustain the one and sup
press the other.
