WAR NEWS.

The reports and statements in relation to the
last battle before Richmond are so very contra
dictory, that it is difficult if not impossible, to
give any correct idea Of what has really happen
ed, beyond the fact that shey have had some
hard fighting, with heavy loss on both sides, and
that the Federal army has fallen back under
cover of their gun. boats on the James River. 1t
is said that the latest intelligence from General
McClellan's army is by way Of Fortress Monroe,
and is to Sunday the 9Th inst, that there had
been no fighting for two days previous, but a
portion Of the Federal army had advanced seven
miles up the river on the 4th.
Captain Wilkes, ofTrent notoriety, is in COM
maiid of a flotilla on the James river.
1t is said that the Richmond papers of the LIST
and End inst. claim that in the recent battle be-
fore Richmond, the Confederates captured eight
Federal Generals, twelve thousand prisoners, all
of General McClelan's siege guns, and supplies
enough to subsist the whole Confederate army
for three months The battle ON Tuesday, the
LIST inst is reported to have been the most bloody
of the war
It appears that the despatch announcing the
capture of Vicksburg was premature. On the
End inst. the bombardment of the place continued
from both fleets, the Confederate batteries reply
ing occasionally. All the non-combatants in the
city had been removed before the commence
ment of the bombardment. The Confederates in
the vicinity are believed to be about sixty thous-
and. Prisoners were arriving in Richmond all
day on the End. 1t is claimed that Gems. Hooker
and Sumner were wounded.
The latest advices state that General jackson
is not dead, as reported, that last week he cap
tured train of army wagons three miles long,
on their retreat from the White House.
The late Richmond papers, it is said, state that
Beverly Robinson, of the Fourth Virginia Cav
airy, has been appointed Brigadier General,
and taken charge of the troops lately command
ed by Col. Ashby.
A letter from Newbern, North Carolina, states
that Gen. Burnside's army had moved inland
from that point on the I'd inst, destination not
known.
Dispatches state that the people of Ohio and
Indiana are responding to the. call for more
troops. ga ga
A Federal wagon train was attacked by a
small party of Confederates on Monday last near
Flint Hill, Virginia. A panic among the team
sters ensued but it is said that the Confederates
were compelled to retire.

Leaking Out. I

A Washington letter Of June the 9th
to the Lancaster lnteligencer, says:
The Developments which are daily be-
ing made by Messrs. Joseph Holt and
Robert Dale Owen, the Commissioners to
whom are referred the claims of Govern
ment contractors are exciting much atten-
tion The scandalous chargesof. some of
the contractors prove that they are worse
enemies to the Government than the
rebels. The system of brokerage on
the part of members of both branches of
Congress, is not the least humiliating fact
which has been brought to light by the
Commission. The attempted justification
of Senator Simmons, in receiving on a
contract FIVE per cent, amounting 10 all to
over fifty thousand dollars, meets with
universal condemnation.
There are other Senators and RepreE
sentatives who are in the same boat with
him, and believe that their transactions are
fair and legitimate A stringent law in
regard to such transactions on the part of
Government officials is necessary, but
there is no prospect of such law being
passed at the present session. The dis
closures made by the Commison are bring
| ing to light others. Il is alleged that the
currycombs furnished by some Philadel-
phia contractors arc made out Of jhte-
that the tents are less weight than the ar
my standard--that the wagons are inspec-
ted and passed contrary to law, and other
matters which have for their object the
depletion Of the National Treasury All
these things will be brought to light at
the proper time. Several Of the Inyesti-
eating Committees will remain in session
allsummer.

NS- The Philadelphia EOening Journal learns
from the Boston papers that Governor Andrew s
decision that no more Irish regiments should be
raised in Massachusetts,, unless Differed by Amer.
leans, has caused considerable excitement among
the Irish citizens of Boston. A large meeting
has been held, and the course of the Governor
denounced in strong language The Journal is
very severe, and denounces the decision of his
Excellency as miserable and bigoted, and con-
tinues:
Why, then, this deliberate insult of Mr.. An
drew, who is of consequence only because he
happens to be Governor, and who only dis
graces State which was once dgnifed by the
possession of O Webster?

THE STORY OF ONE REGIMET.
the Maine Eleventh passed through Broad
way last November, the "Hallelujah Che
rus chanted by eight hundred and fifty
sturdy fellows, few persons who saw them
could have anticipated that those tall lum-
bermen would, within a twelve-month, be
almost decimated. Arriving in Washing
ton they built those famous barracks,
which were visited by so many Strangers;
but in spite of the fine shelter the typhoid
was soon busy in their ranks, and when
down with Casey's Division they were
only seven hundred and fifty strong-one-
eighth died of disease. While on the Pen
insula they lived on hard biscuit and wa
ter for five weeks, owing to the inefficien-
cy or rascality of some one, SO ttat when
they took up the double quick for Will
Harrisburg the mep fell on the road and
died from sheer exhaustion. At the Bat
tie of Fair Oaks they numbered, fit for
duty, one hundred and eighty men. One
half of this number were in action, and
were nearly all killed or wounded.-Ney

the Baltimore Republican says that "Stonewall"
was applied to General jackson from a remark
made by General Beauregard at the battle Of
Bull Run. Upon observing Jackson aud his
men-like SO many statues-standing amidst a
terrible fire of shot and shell awaiting orders to
advance, turning to his aid, Gen. Beauregard
remarked Look at jackson and his men, they
stand like STONE WALL" This, says the writer,
is the true origin of the expression-he having
been at the battle of Bull Run at the time the re-
mark was made.

MORE MEN WANTED. The Philadel-
phia North Aauerican thinks a Camp of
instruction of 5000 volunteers is by no
means sufficient to meet tho exigencies of
the country, and to recruit the rapidly
thinning ranks Of the army. 1t says:
Gas our army has been reduced BY sick
ness, casualties, deaths in the field, aud
other causes, from its original number Of
100000 to about 100000, we hail step
in the right direction, the formation Of
camp of instruction under Gen. Wool at
Annapolis, Of fifty thousand men. But
that number will not suffice. We need
three hundred thousand; and it is best
that we should look the necessity soberly
in the face"

CONFEDERATE MANUFACTURES. "A
Federal prisoner at Macon, Ga, writes
from that place under date Of the 23d

The Confederate States have about $l8,-

my opinion, they manufacture cannon and
small arms in considerable quantities, as

More Evidence Of the Design Of the
Party IN Power to Establish q Mill
tary Despotism.
On Monday week, the United States
House Of Representatives passed bill es-
tablishing new ranks and titles in the Ma
Ivy Of the United States that Of Admiral
being the highest. During the long peri
cd in which the Government Of the Uni
ted States was under the control Of the
Democratic party several attempts were
made, but futilely, to create the rank and
title Of Admiral in the Navy; but now
that the Government has fallen into the
heads of the anti.D Democratic parties, tits no
wonder, on the contrary, it is perfectly
consistent with the principles and policy
of the party in power that new ranks Of
office and new titles are about to be crea-
ted.
Almost every act of Congress proves
the design of the dominant party to sus-
pend the present form of constitutional
Government by that of Stratocracy or
Military Despotism. This creation Of
TduhS duu tlticS III IHo .huf6FlCdu navy
analogous to the highest ranks and titles
in the Navies Of the European Monarchies
proves it, as does the concentration Of
power in the Executive head Of the Gov
eminent, and the disregard for the Con-,
stitution, for the Judicial branch of the
Government, and for the long established
usages and practice of the Government by
the Legislative and Executive Depart
ments. Need we appeal to the patriotism
of the people for their country, to their
loyalty to the Constitution and to the
Government established by it, to frown
down, and if needs be to strike down
every attempt to engraft the ranks and
titles and habits of Military Monarchies
upon the soil and Government of the Uni,
ted States. Congress is making the at.
tempt to do this great wrong, and if it
should be successfully accomplished, it
will only be another incentive to the al
ready aroused indignation of the people to
hurl from place and power the Party
which has in little more than year un-
Americanized the whole fabric and sys-
tenn of the Observation-Disclosures Her.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?-The Phila-
delphia Inquirer Of Friday. last says :
The Post Office of this city yesterday re-
fused to receive U. States Treasury note
payment for postage amounting to near
ly three-fourths of dollar. No explana-
ton was rendered Or given, beyond the
words, "We do not receive Treasury
notes" 1t certainly cannot be that the
notes are intended only for circulation
among what President Lincoln very prop
erly calls "plain people" and that they are
to be refused by the paid servants Of those
people
The Endorsement upon the back of the
notes is presumed by the community to
have some force, and to be valid and effec-
tive. 1t is as follows:
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
This note is legal tender for all debt
public and priUate, except duties on i'm
ports and interest on the public debt, and
is exchanged for United. States Six Per
Cent twenty year Bonds, redeemable at
the pleasure Of the United States after

PUBLIC OPINION. learn from the Chicago
Times, that the Assembly of Wisconsin passed
just before its. late adjournment the preamble
and resolutions adopted last winter by the Legis-
lature of Maryland and sent to all the Northern
States, denouncing the further useless and wicked
agitation of. the slavery question. The vote
stood 50 to 38. This is one step in the right d.
rection, but there is still much room for the pru-
ming knife in Wisconsin

OHIO DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. This
Convention met at Columbus on the 4th inst,
and adopted resolutions in favor of the Union
and Constitution, denounced the abolitionsts,
declared opposition to confscation and emanci-
patton, as unconstitutional, tending to drive the
South to desperation, and to be an ever present
incentive to the disruption of the republic, and
to fill Ohio with a degraded negro population,
and opposing taxation to secure emancipation.

RECKLESS ExTRAvAGANcE The Gin
icinnati Oomuereial, a Republican paper,
is much alarmed at the various PROPOSE
tons before Congress for the expenditure
of the public money enlarging canals,
building air line railroads, 10, &C., and
says the expenditures Of theswar are SO
great, that Congress seems to assume that
a few millions Or hundred Of millions more
are small matters. This idea, and the
policy which is its autgroWth, savors too
much Of the reckless extrayagsuce which

THE CROPS.

Most of our farmers have been engaged in
harvesting this week, and large amount of
grain has been cut. We hear from all parts of
the county, that the wheat is unusually good !;
indeed it is question whether the present
crop in this county does not greatly exceed that
of any former year. Most of the growing crops
look well. The corn although badly cut by the
worm early in the spring, has come on rapidly
since the hot weather set in. Mr. Samuel Gallo
way has a field of corn near this town. which has
grown almost incredibly within the last few
days. Some of the stalks mot the most -four.
ishing- have been found by careful measurement
to have grown six and a half inches in twenty
four hours. -.
We regret to learn that species of fly hereto
fore unknown is doing the growing oats much
injury A friend informed us the other day that
he feared that be would lose most Of his crop il
indeed it was not entirely destroyed. n
We have had an unusual warm spell Of weather
for some days past. Last Monday was the
warnest day we have had this summer; the
mercury in the shade raised to "a degrees, at
which point it stood for several hours.
