There is abundant testimony that while

officers, educated at West Point, and Who
have served in arduOus camp duties in New

the Pacific coast are far better men Of

in the arm of Felix Mccormick, of Co. K
The house was searched, but the party es

The special agent of the Associated Press
has just returned from Maryland Heights,
overlooking Harpers Ferry, which point
he left after o'clock this evening. The
Confederate army had mainly left the
place only about 1000 remaining. The
route of the main body was by turnpikes
leading TO ChsrlestoWn and ShepardstoWn,
but their destination is not known, as they
were lost in the distance, and no one in the
vicinity was sufficiently informed to state
whittier they we're going.
The work of demolition is nearly COM
plete. The bridge is entirely destroyed,
also telegraph lines and Offices and rife
factory. No government property remains
except officers houses on The hills back of
the town. Only two out Of twenty Armo-
ry buildings saved. Loss to the U. s.
Government nearly S5OO000 and TO the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad nearly as much
more.

The War ana fbe New spnpers.

Instead of reaping harvest through the
present war says the New York Journal Of
Commerce, the indications are everywhere
palpable that the press feels its effects fnju-
riously, if not to the disastrous extent suffer
ed by most other branches OF business. We
have the names Of some thirty newspapers
that have suspended publication from various
causes within the past month; and since our
means Of Information are solely through the
medium of our limited exchange list, it is
reasonable to infer that these are but a
traction Of the ngabe- Of newspaper suspen-
siOns throughout the country, North and
South. Probably the actual number is be-
tween one and two hundred. OF those that
survive, the greater portion have either re-
daced the size OF their sheets, or raised the
price per copy, or the annual subscription
Price. Doubtless efforts have been made by

BLACK VS. GREEN TEAs-Since the great
advance in green teas, public attention has
been a good deal directed TO the use of black
teas, which have not been affected by the
rise in green. Apart altogether from the
question of saving by using black tea, we
believe medical men generally recommend
the use of black tea in preference to green as
being more wholesome. This subject is we'll
worth attention. as tea is one of our staple
articles Of consumption.

The Lebanon Star says:
Mr.. W. Thompson, north of Lebanon, in
forms US that the army worm threatens to
destroy his crop. His neighbor, Mr.. Hutch
inson, has cut his barley to prevent the
worms from destroying it. Mr.. Thompson
says his observation leads him to believe that
these worms come up out of the ground, and
in or near the neighborhood Of barley fields.
He thinks the warm weather is unfavorable
to them, and few days as hot as Tuesday
will destroy all of them. He and his neigh
bors have found ditching the most efectual
plan of keeping them out of their fields. d
Messrs. Stephen Probasco and Mcfarland
Lamb informs US that the army worms have
made their appearance in their neighboFhood,
some Jour milea west of Lebanon, and are
doing extensive damage to the crops.

by the suggestion, so far as the iHBasicn
goes-for that will enable us to restore them

The British Government on PFiYateering.
By the last arrival from England We learn
the fact that the British Government had de-
termined that no British port should be open
to receive the rebel privateers with their
prizes. This is important, and fatal to the
Southern COniederacy. With all the South
ern ports strictly bloekaded, and no civilized
nation willing to be hospitable enough to
allow the use OF ils harbors or Of its admit
ralty courts, the rebel privateers my as we'll

To answer this question We suhjoin the
following extracts from leading journals.
The Boston Atlas and Bee, the leading Ad-
ministration paper in New England, says
The meaning of this fight is the doom
Of slavery, and the sooner the government
acts upon this idea, the less will be the
carnageI' Y ta
The Hartford Press, the State organ Of
the Republicans in Connecticut, says
at is mistake to say that the Confed.
crate States are in rebellion against the
Government The slavery in them is in
rebellion against republioanism; and-it is
the slavery in them, aud not the States,
that is 10 be subjugated.
The New York Times, which is regarded
as the special organ Of Mr.. Seward in New
York. makes the following pacific sugges-
tions:
"Like Popery, slavery is incompatible
with tho spirit of the age, or, in other
words, with liberty and civilization. Their
progress is az an end, and fate or Proyi-
denoe seems 10 have doomed then 70 a
spesdy destruction by the folly Of their de-
yotees.n
The Mineral Point (Wis.) Tribune in
vites the loyal Union men of the South,
aud the Democracy of the North, to this
entertainment;
"Should they again desire the shield Of
the wings Of the American eagle-the pro-
lection Of the American 1ag--as We have
no doubt tbey will before the close of the
war, the terms will be such as to settle
forever the question of American Slavery.
The time for compromise has passed. The
4" "irrepressible conflict" will cease to exist
when the question of negro slavery is set
tied and not till then On this point all
now agree; and the close Of the present
conflict will fix the time for the emaneipa-
tiOn Of every slave in the land.
ave believe we but echo the sentiment
of the entire North, and many loyal sons
OF the South, when we say, make no COM
promise with traitors except at the end OF
hempen cord settle forever the question
Of chattel slavery, and make our nation a
nation of freedom.
