ANOTHER FARM MORTGAGE LAVA bill
| introduced some weeks ago by Mr. Clark,
! of Grant, in relation to farm mortgage
suits, was ordered to third reading in the
Assembly this morning.
1t permits defendants in suits brought
to foreclose mortgages given to railroad
companies, to prove by oral testimony the
substance or effect Of any act, resolution,
contract or representation, of the railroad
corporation, agent, director, or employee
thereof, and authorizes persons that have
examined such documents or heard the
representations of such railroad officers or
agents, to testify, provided that the plain
tiff shall be allowed to rebut such evidence
by the introduction of books, records, pa
pers, &C., properly certified The bill fur
ther permits such defendants to waive the
provisions of the so-called farm mortgage
law of the present session, and make their
defense under the provisions of this act
Mr.. Clark urges the passage of this bill
on the ground that the courts will proba-
bly, hold the so-called farm mortgage act
as nulity, and that this will afford the
farm mcrtgagors all the constitutional pro-
lection necessary for their protection
against frauds

The Battle of Bull Run.

The more we rega I'd and ponder the iacts
connected with the battle of Bull Run, the
more we examine it's results as a whole, the
more we are forced to regard it as victory
instead Of defeat, notwithstanding so many
of the circumstances attending its conclusion
conspire to exhibits it in an untayorabl light.
The main point against now is, that IA
purtiuu sr the troops became paniciZed and
fled or retreated from the field. This is true
in detail but in fact the retreat is not so dis
graceful as many good ciiizens have been
unreluctantly forced to suppose, simply be-
cause that retreat was after having accom-
plshed the most stupendous results, both in
the assault Of batteries, the destruction of
entrenchments, and the actual defeat of
Beauregard and Johnston. Betore the di-
vision of Johnston mad reached the scene Of
action, it will be rememl cred that General
Beauregard had been defeated, driven from
Bull Run 20 his entertainments at Manassas
Gap, and even stormed there by our gallant
and victorious troops. 1t was while Beaure-
gard wasin that position, that Johnston made
his appearance on the field and was also de-
leated- defeated fairly and almosE terribly,
and this, too, when both Beauregard and
Johnston attempted to form and consolidate
their columns, the men under Mcdowell.
turned on the forces under Beauregard aud
again defeated him. At this .juncture the
| confusion occurred which panic zed the en-
tire federal force. The civilians, on whom
this disgrace must forever rest, began to re-
treat, on horseback, in coaches ard on foot
their movements at once discovered by the
teamsters, who also began to hg, and who in
turn infused the panic into the army, and
then began the retreat which lost US the
credit of victory that lad been fairly
achieved.
We desire that these facts be fairly set be-
| fore the world that the repu alton of the fed
eral forces does not suffer injury from mis-
representation Men never acted nobler,
than did those who struggled before the
masked batteries of the enemy. They pos
sessed and he Id suecessively certain batter
les eight times. and on each re cu'se returns
ed to the assault with a vigor and zeal that
would have done credit to veterans. They
| withstood the most hlanehing and destruc-
tive fire. and regiment after regiment only
! left the field after each was convinced that
the battle was irretrievdbly lost, and that re
treat, in good order, was the better part Of
valor.
| There is no doubt that the retreat has Civ
! en- immense satisfaction to the rebels. as it
/ has to their sympathizers in the loyal States.
| 1t was unfortunate at the time that it occur
red. but under all circumstances, taking the
! confusion of toe civilians and the panic Of
| the teamsters. the people can justly reserve
| part Of the censure they were so prone to
! heap upon the troops, for some of their own
| derilictions in the hour of danger and en-
| harrassment-H Harrisburg TeleqrGph.

ANOTHER FIGHT.

RoLIA, Mo-, July 27.
A fight took place on Thursday, on Lanes
Prairie, fifteen miles from here, between
party of sixty five rebels and fifteen Home
Guards from Rolla.
The Guards were surrounded, but they
made determined stand and after few vol
leys, dispersed the rebels, killing their First
Lieutenant and mortally wounding three
privates. One Lieutenant and two privates

The whole army, save three companies Of
the Massachusetts Second Regiment, are ly-
ing on the other side Of tbe Potomac.
Gen. Banks has his ad-quarters at a
farm house, about two miles below he Fer
ry, His disposition of troops and manage
ment of the army has, SO far, given great
satisfaction TO both officers and men.
A man of intelligence, from near Winches-
ter, came in last night. He says that not
less than forty dead and hundred wounded
were carried from Srasburg (the northern
terminus of the Manassas junction Railroad J
towards Winchester, after the battle of Bull
Run. Most of these were from the neigh
borhood of Charlestown, Martinsburg and
Winchester,
A company from the neighboihood Of
Romney, under the command of Captain
Greville, were so totally cut Up that they are
entirely disorganzed The captain ran at
the first charge. saying he could stand bull
lets but not bayonets.
The Second Virginia Regiment, under
Colonel Allen, was also most seriously cut
UP. He also represents that tie men are
dissatisfied with their officers, and are un-
willing to go further; recruits cannot be
made in the valley of Virginia. There are
no troops at Winchester but drafted militia,
who escape and return to their homes as
rapidly as they are brought in. They are
In complete disorder, with no dicipline rre-
vaiiing.
None Of the enemy but guerilla scouts are
seen anywhere in this region.
Reinforcements. by way of Hagerstown
and Baltimore, are coming in so rapidly that

Rev. T. n. BOYLE.

We see by the Washington Co. Eranai'1er
that the above named geRtleman, formerly
connected with this Office, has been engaged
in forwarding the cause of Liberty and
Right in that county, by iecturing at differ
ent points on the present state of National
affairs and showing up the hideous character
of the rebellion in which the South is enga-
ged, and upholding the Government in its
efforts to put things 10 right. Had it not
been for the objections raised by his congre-
CATION be would have been raising the sword
instead of his voice against the enemies of
his country. There is no lack of bravery
and patriotism in his bosom. May he live
to see the cause for which he is laboring
triumphant.

DEMoCRAT~ =
Who Commenced the War.

This question is being discussed IN the
United States Senate. If it is for the pur-
pose of allowing Senators the privilege OF
expressing their patriotic sentiments, there
can be no objection, although the time con-
sumed in the discussion could be better ap-
propriated If it is to decide the question
for the satisfaction of any particular class OF
people, tho time is uselessly consumed, and
the areumants used all wasted on the people
who hear or are to read the discussions. The
history Of the rebellion proves as clearly who
commenced the assault as it proves lis OBJ
iects and designs South Carolina seeded
and at once commenced besieging the forts
in Charleston barbor. When Anderson
evacuated Fort Moultrie and sought strong
hold in Fort Sumter, the war was commen-
ced by the rebels, who attacked the latter
fort, reduced it, sought the disgrace of our
flag by insisting OF the conditional surrender
of those who were engaged in the defence of
the laws by protecting that fort, and thus
commenced the war on the federal authority.
After the gallant Anderson and his comrades
had been removed TO the ships of the Union,
JEFF. Davis, the rebel President, announced
the victory by sommoning q hundred thoQ>
sand rebels 10 his standard, and proclaiming
that the war had been commenced by the
traitors, who had gained the first victory.
This is the history of the rebel movement
in its assault on the government, but who,
cares now as to the party who struck the
first blow. We know that for thirty years
the treason that is now developed was being
matured in the south. We know that every
southern politician of the ultra democratic
school, has since proven that the zeal with
which the south clung to the democratic
organization of The north was for the pur-
pose of gaining power and possessing them
selves of resources to back up and sustain
the rebellion in which they are now engaged
The south has been striking blows at the
Uoion for forty years, It's free trade ten
denotes were part of the mean programme
The war with Mexico was a step in the
grand drama. It's previous aanexion of Tex
as was to gain an ascerdency in the Senate
TIE election Of Jtmes buchanan aods tie last
act in the dastardly conspiracy. Yet in the
face of al this-with the smell of nullica-
ton in its nostrils and the blood floyal men
on its hands, the south proclaims that the
federal authorities struck the irst blow. If
they did, they had cause for doing so--but
as they did not, they have double cause for
pushing forward their operations for the sup
preston Of this rebellion. Nothing under
Heaven but total annihilation of those who
are engaged in it, will destroy the rebelli n.
Let this be remembered, while we are re-
mem bering those who struck toe first rebel
li9us blow at the American Union.-Iel.

Confagration at Pittsburg.
PITTsBURG, July sc

The Duquesne depot of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company accidentally took fire, at
about half past three o'clock this afternoon,
and was entirely CONSUMED, together with all
of It's contents.
The FIRE is supposed 10 have originated in
the basement where about 5000 barrels Of
petroleum oil were deposited.
The flames spread so rapidly that it was
impossible to arrest their progress or save
anything in the building, and in quarter
of an hour the entire structure was sheet of
flames.
Il is supposed all the oil was consumed,
together with ten freight cars and goods,
whose value is supposed not to exceed $4,000.
Ths depot was valued at 100000. 1t was
built in 1856
The amount ofinsurance is large but has
not yet beeu ascertained.
All the houses in the rear alley, mostly
occupied by poor families, numbering per-
haps twenty and several dwellings on Penn
ard Leberty streets were also burnt.
The Railroad Company have taken proper
measures to erect temporary building until
the depot can be rebuilt, and no inconyeni>
ence will result to the business of the CONS
pany from this disaster.
