A Union Press DESTROYED.

The Examiner, weekly paper. pub
ished at Frederick City, Md, by Schley,
Haller g. Co., was partially destroyed by
the rebels during their possession of that
city. The Examiner has been an able
chamoio of the Union cause. and has
struck as heavy, if not heavier, blows at
the rebsllion as any other paper in Mary
land. Its principal editor, Fred. scbley,
Esq, is ripe scholar, thoroughly con-
versant with the political history of the
country, and one of the ablest writer's in
the State. His loyalty to the government
and his patriotic course rendered him Pc
cuEarly obnoxious to the rebels, and it il
not to be wondered at, that when they
had the power, they used it in the,destruc'
ton of the press over which he presided
with SO much ability. We sympathize
with our friends of the Examiner, in the
loss they have sustained, and hope they
will soon get their Office in proper RIG
again, and We be gladdened with the pa
per's re-appearance in our sanctum.

Brilliant Charge Of the 12th and 23d

Brilliant Charge OF the 12th and asa
Ohio.
The following is an account Of The gal
lantry of two Ohio regiments. By one
brilliant charge over 200 prisoners were
captured.
1t appears that one of the North Caro-
lima brigades had been badly cut up by
some Ohio regiments. The latter also
suffered severely, when probably burning
with revenge, while their foes wers EN-
gagged with some other regiments, they
silently crept forward to a stone wall, on
the other side of which skirmish was
going on. and opened calling fire upon
them.
The 18th and 23d Ohio were ordered
to charge them. and mounting the wal
for few moments. desperate fight took
place, the 18th Ohio being engaged with
18th North Carolina, and the 23d Ohio
engaging the 23d North Carolina. The
| fight soon terminated in favor Of the gal
liant Ohio regiments, the enemy scattering
in great confusion. These regiments
surrounded and captured i3O rebels wht
belonged to the tSth and 23d North Caro-
lima, and goth Virginia. Garland wh'
commanded these troops, was instantl,
killed by shell which struck him on tn
head.

Pretty Good.

A gentleman from this county, a few
days ago, was i'll Cleveland. and he told
us he saw good-looking lady, with an
infant in her arms, and at times nursing
it at her breast, who was desirous of ma
king a trip into Canada. But as her lady
ship was about taking passage on board
of one Of the steamers, the suspicion OF
one of the deputy marshals was aroused.
that all was net right. and acting upon
his impressions had her arrested-when,
mirabile dictu, it was found that her lady
ship was nothing more than member OF
the masculine gender, who had dohned
the feminine costume, and, in order te
make the deception more perfect, had
borrowed some persons baby. in order
to escape into Canada. to avoid being
drafted into the service Of Uncle Sam.

The Draft Postponed.

Mondays mail brought us another
proclamation from His ExcelIency, Gov.
Tod, deferring the draft in the State of
Ohio. until October LIST, thus keeping the
loyal people of the Buckeye State in a
state OF suspense. for fifteen more days,
We cannot see the force Of the Governors
logic for postponement, and think that
the action of the chief Executive is tri.
fling with the feelings of the people. If
the necessities Of the Federal Government
were so great AS to require speedy mus
tering in of the militia of the country into
active service, when the call was first
issued from the War Department, and the
time set for such work to begin. we
cannot see that the recent disasters which
have oyertaken our army in Virginia, and
the consequent invasion of Maryland,
have in any measure done away with
that necessity. And why the Governor
will make tie threatened attack on Gin
cinnati, aud the demonstration Of the
rebel forces on the border of the State, a
sufficient cause for deferring the draft, is
more than we can see. 1t strikes as that
that fact alone would be ample cause for
hurrying it forward, in order to have the
drafted men formed into companies, so
that they could be drilled, and at once be
placed In active service. The fact is,
there seems to be disposition to bam-
boozle the people, by the powers that be,
IN order to carry out some secret plan Of
their own. to enable them to f!l up the
regiments now in the feld to the maxi.
mum number = ;.s -.,-.se
The people of Ohio are loyal. They
do not need to be hoodwinked by the
special pleadings of an accidental Gov
erl'or, to make them sensible of their
duty, and we hope that the anxiety now
felt in the public mind will at once be
allayed, by the Governor keeping his
proclamations in embryo, or if he feels
like giving deliverance to the pent UP
fires of patriotism that slumber in his
bosom. that he will issue them for the
special benefit of the employees of the
State Department, and not trouble the
honest people Of the State will, any more
proclamstions deferring draft. If a
draft is to take place, let it come at once,
and it there is to be no draft, let the
people know it. We hope we shall no,
be dumfuddled in this way any longer.

EPIToME OF NEWS.

The rebels have been met in Mary
land by the Union forces under McClel-
Ian, and in a desperate battle fought on
the east side of South Mountain, routed

through his body. The rebels fled
toward sharpsburg and Boonesboro.
Telegraph and Rail communication
is again open to Hagerstown, and that
city is now in possession of the Federal

as Nc cCellan's dispatches:
Our scouts who left Hagerstown 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon, say that
Longstreet' division, with the exception
of one brigade of troops, had left Hagers-
town.
Citizens report that & lighting had taken
place near Middletown, and that McClel-
Ian had been driven back two miles, and
that the final issue was SO critical as to
make it necessary to order Longstreet's
corps to reinforce the rebels.
Colonel Burns cavalry and Toombs'
brigade were remaining at Hagerstown.
Loring's division, which was encamped
on the Boonesboro' road, had also left.
A large body of Our cavalry had arrived
at Greencastle, cutting their way
through from Harper's Ferry.
A Special dispatch to the Bulletin from
Harrisburg says the rebels have fallen
back two miles. Longstreet's division
has been sent to reinforce them. The
battle will probably be renewed to-day
The rebel pickets have fallen back to

The Federal forces under Col. Wilder

from FIVE to seven hundred killed and
wounded. The rebels who brought in
the flag of truce admit loss of 400 kill

10 the Press Of Cleveland:
To the several Commissioners for supst
intending draftingi The attention and en-
ergies OF the people Of the State having
been almost exclusively dsrcted to the pru
lection Of our southern border for the past
ten days, and the work of recruiting by
reason thereof almost suspended, feel it
my duty to the gallant people of Ohio to
postpone the day for the commencement OF
the draft.
do, therefore, by virtue of the power
vested In me, order and direct the Commis
sioners of the several counties of the State
entrusted with the power Of superintend
ing the drafting of the militia, to postpone
the commencement of the execution of the
order for drafting until the LIST day of Oc-
tober next, on which day they proceed in
the manner Heretofore indicated to draft
the quota then due from their respective
counties. The number will be ascertained
by deductihg the number that may have
volunteered between the first day of Sep.
tember and the 1st day of October, from
the number heretofore apportioned to said
counties by this Department. The sete
raj military committees are repeated to as
c. rtain from the commissioners of their
respective counties the numbers that are
due from their counties on the first day OF
September, and continue their efforts in aid
Of the recruiting service, until the first of
October, when it is hoped and believed tn
entire quota from each county will be
filled
The necessity of the force called for by
the President is now apparent to all. Our
very fresides are threatened in the desper.
ate efforts of the rebels to destroy our glo-
rous government Rally, then, noble men
of OHIO, and with one effort Fill up the
ranks.

At last the rebels have succeeded in
their long wished for purpose of crossing
the Potomac, and making demonstra.
ton OF their power and authority in
Maryland. They desecrated with their

sake of common honesty, that justice will
be done him. If he has been guilty of
