Helper and his agent. The former, we are told, /,
"stoPped with an acquaintance and friend up
town, the latter called at our office and ordered
notice In the paper, and lot Of circulars for
"U nited States" at Huston Hall, last nj ght. The
Han was lighted up, twenty-three tickets were
sold, and affer waiting reasonable time for more
customers the agent 'slpped away, - and the gas
was turned on. The proprietor Of the Hall was,
at a late hour last night, endeavoring to find the
Author ofthe impending Crisis, )" who, 1t seemed,
was endeavoring to escape the consequences Of his
own work. We were not an entirely disinterested
observer OF the course Of events as the agent had
neglected to meet an ''impending crisis' at our
counter
Helper had some printing done at the Empire
JOB Rooms, which his agent managed to have
taken from the office by doUnright lying, in the
temporary absence Of the foreman. The bill was
presented at the door of the hall last evening,
when the agent promised to call and settle II in
hffeen minutes. AS he has not vet called, and
we le3rn that a number Of our citizens are vet
waiting for the expiration of the aforesaid ff-
teen minutes we give him the benefit Of this
notice, and tender II as our receipt i'm full for our
claim against Hinton Rowsn Helper, who entered
tie political world the caumniator and yilliler
OF his own people, puffed into notoriety by promi-
nent Republican leaders, and now, as when I'm his
native State, swindles those who trust him

Policy of General Scott.

The experienced veteran who di-
reefs and controls the military move
ments of tie day said to confd ent-
ial friend, within a few days, that
peace womb be restored to the whole
country and the country restored to
its Legitimate proportions by the re.
turn of May 1862. His movements
now in regard to Virginia evidently
indicate a grand "coup de grace" that
will decide the supremacy of of
military power in that State. The
advance of a troop from three or more
points upon Harper's Ferry, the COM
plete preparation of General Batler's
column to make an advance upon
Norfolk, and Gen. McDoWelis column
now prepared for advancing upon
Manassas JUNCTION, suggest grand
simultaneous movement upon those
important points, that will decide the
supremacy and the control in that
State.

Judged the Number OF rebels in the
neighborhood to be about 200. The
largest body is encamped at Failing
Waters, five miles below Every ford
is strictly guarded, and the rebels have
seized and broken up every skiff on

WASHINGTON, June 10.-A lady Of
undoubed veracity, who was within
full view of the batteries at Acqna
Greek when attacked by the steamer
Freedom, communicates to her rela-
tives in Washington that fifteen were
killed to her certain knowledge, and
she has no doubt that as many as 80
were killed, besides a large number
Wounded. She says that every pains
were taken to conceal the fact, even
the from the friends of the victims, and
that as fast as casualty occurred the
Sufferers were removed to the woods
for concealment She says the bat
teries contained 400 parsons including
the troops The studied concealment
of he rebels in regard to their loss
in the second and third attacks at
Acqnia Greek, made more than a
week ago. taken in connection with
the quick circulation of the news of
their escape from the first attack, af-
fords a strong presumption that the
casualties in the two last engagements
were serious.

Douglas was appointed Secretary Of
the State of Illinois. In Feb. I841
he was elected by the Legislature
Judge of the Supreme Court, which
Office he resigned in 1843 to accept
the Democratic nomination for Con-
gres, which was urged upon him
against his own wishes on the ground
that he was elected. After spirited
canvass, Mr.. Douglas was chosen by
upwards of 400 majority He was
re elected in 1914, by majority of
1900, and again in 1916 by nearly
5000 majority. He did not, how
ever, take his seat under the last
election, having in the meantime been
elected to the Senate Of the
the United States for six years from
March 4, 1847.
Mr.. Douglas was married April 7,
lS47, to Miss Martha D. Martin,
daughter, of Col. Robert Martin, of
Rockingham county, n. G., by
whom he had three children, two Of
whom are living. She died January
10, 1853. He was again married
November 20, 1856, to Miss Adele

Controller of the Treasury, by whom
he had one child, which is now liV

There are few men in this country
since Clay who had so many warm

His enemies were mainly political
ones, and their animosity will be buri

IMPORTANT TO LETTER WRITERS -
Inthe ten seeded Southern States the
United States mails are now suspen-
ded. People, by noting this fact, will
save themselves both time and postage
stamps. Until the seeded States are
a returning and repentant people they
will be left to the worship of their own
idols. Letters, therefore directed to
any portions of the seeded States,
Western Virginia alone excepted, will
find their destination in the dead let
ter Office. This suspension of mails in
the secession States will result in a
large saving to the Department.
