A Dispatch from Governor Curtin to
the Major, states that no troops are need
ed from this point. The rebels are already
reported falling back.
A special dispatch from Harrisburg to
the Philadelphia Enquirer says that the
rebels have destroyed a bridge across the
Scotland, five miles east of Chambersburg,
and seized about 500 horses, which they
intend to carry off,
No violence was inflicted on the inhab-
itants Of Chambersburg.
The railroad depot at Chamberscure,
with its valuable contents, was destroyed.
and considerable portion Of the track
torn up.
Noon "A special Harrisburg dispatch
70 the Bulletin says, information received
in official quarters, states that the rebels
were still in Chambersburg at O'clock
this morning. They showed a disposition
to move towards Gettysburg.
Chambersburg surrendered, as resistance
would be useless.
We have been pushing forward troops
during the night, and are sending them on
as fast as possible.
We have but very little force between
Chambersburg and Hancock.

T. II. ROBERTSON Sec'y.

EE- The custom has been to compli-
ment public officers who perform their du-
ties well with a second term; but it seems
the convention failed to compliment Dir.
Augell-thus making MN an exceptions as
the rest who have held office but single
term were all re-nominated. So far as we
know or have heard DR.. Angel has per-
formed the duties Of his office just as well
as ony other officer; bis enemies have fail
ed TO find single thing against him. His
defeat was caused solely BY wide spread
prejuiice which SIT in against him two
years ago. 70 this must be added the
popularity Of his competitor, Mr.. elise.
Dr.. Angel will leave The office With first
rate business reputation, and with public
obligations in his favor for promotion at
some future time.

Openly Done.


The democratic contention which noni-
mated p. B. Simpson, Of Shullsburg, La
Fayette county for Congress, adopted res
olutions condsmning the Presidents eran-
eipation proclamation and adopted that
elaborate apology for treason. the Ryan
democratic address.
The same thing would be done in eve
~ congressional district if the managers
dare do it. In the Congressional Dis
tr;ct, tbree-fourths Of the democrats never
enquire into the principles held by their
leaders. They would vote for jeff Da-
vis for congress just as soon as for Slmp-
son, provided both were endorsed 10y a
democratic convention. Just at this time,
the democratic leaders are nearly all dis
Ioxal, while the rank and file Of the party
are generally loyal but kept in bondage to
party By the false pretensions Of their lead
ers. OF the other fourth of the demo
cratic party, they are loyal and intelligent,
and will vote with the republicans this ia.l
almost every nan Of them. The repnb-
Iican party of this county and about
fourth Of the democratic party will vote
together at the next election. This should
be remembered and next year the favor be
recognized by running aud electing large
share Of lloyd democrats to the Offices
This year the arrangement could 1pt ke
made; but as the loyal democratad not
ask it we presume there will norbe the
least dissatisfaction.
This p. B. Simpson, democratic candi-
date for Congress, resides at Shuilsburgh
where we have heard it said loyal men
have to mind how they talk or be knock
ed down. Mr.. Simpson is supported by
the Murpby's al Benton, which fact, to any
loyal democrat, may seem extremely sus
picious. Il may be Ia il deceiviag his
Benton friends; # -, the leaders Of his
entire party are deceived. If they are not
deceived, then all loyal democrats who
support Mr.. Simpson will be deceived, for
no man can be loyal and disloyal at the
same time.

GoLD.-Silger and gold form the basis
OF value Of things, are now worth a premi-
um Of about 25 per cent, or what is Just
the same, U. S. Treasury notes, are AT that
much discount. Ii is useless 10 argue that
speculation is the cause Of such deprecia-
alton; the doubts of the country as to
whether we shall defeat the rebels amount
to just 25 per cent. of the public faith. In
the future the value of U. S. Credits i'll
depend upon whether our Generals are en-
ergetic or slow in Their operations. Were
Mcclellan 10 pitch into the rebels with his
immense army and defeat them tomorrow,
gold would come down 10 to u per cent.
Were they to defeat him tomorrow, gold
would rise so per cent. Were The same
energy displayed on The Potomac that was
lately displayed at Corinth, gold and U.
S. Currency would this .ay be Of near
equal value. These are statements which
nobody will pretend to controvert. The
value Of everything depends upon the war,
and the prospects of the war. SO long
as there is in the country party which
sympatll;zes with the rebels, and which,
under pretoases Of loyalty as false as hell,
is now at work to deceive people to vote
for rebels at heart, 50 long will gold re-
main very dear and high prices rule for
merchandise. Northern rebels are respon-
sibIe for rebel prices. Were the North a
unit for the war, the rebellion would stop
in a hurry. These are also self evident

any case, 50 il is best to work now in fair

any case, so it is best to work now in fair
weather and beready for the winter Of OPP
pressi1u. The real visible property Of the
country must be holden for the axes,while
tho invisible coIlaterals, as money and pa
par eyidences Of wealth, must pey the tax
es. Labor must produce these eollaterals,
SO that after all, labor is TO be the only
taxpayer.
Some men seem incapable Of changing
with the times-incapable of taking any
adyantage of this remarkable period, un-
like any other ever experienced l.y our
selves or ancestors. In our business we
have is YET experienced mono Of the effects
Of the war; this experience is yet to come,
in a way that many will be unprepared to
meet it. Such incompetent pc sous should
be told what is coming and schooled in
their dulles by the wise. The property Of
the North is to suffer by this rebellion, as
much as Southern property, just as much.
The suffering may differ in kind; there
may not lie that desolation in the NoHh,
but in value the result must be about the
same, yor the misfortune is national. Vir-
ginia Is vast chopping block, and nothing
left to tax; Wisconsin is not chopped away
but is to be parceilel away by taxation.
So there is but little difference. Our Clio
rious country is be made oyer--builG up
again from a Wilderness. So lot each lay
out his work.
For one or two years to come, prices
will be generally good. There be no
danger Of overproduction of any article in
the farm line, fora third of tho labor Of
the country has been withdrawn, while the
consumption of farm stutfs must be largely
increased by the war. The year coming
there will also be heavy European de-
mand for American bread SUITS. 1t is
true, merchandise will be dear; but many
ofihe articles which you have largely con
sumed may be dispensed with, as tea, cof-
fee, rice, tobacco, DC. You can supply
yourselves with sorghum molasses; per-
haps near enough Of this article is produ-
ced in the county this year to supply the
home demand. Liquors can be dispensed
with. Every family ought to procure
few sheep and mako their own socks and
winter clothing. You car easily cut down
your expenses half, and still live plenti.
fully and happily. Merchandise is dear,
chiefly because the value of money has so
Deprecated. We need not therefore hope
for goods to he any cheaper for some
years to come, but rather 1earer.

returned on the 10th, and reports the enc
my disprited and demoralized, and inca

dearest Of the war.

Grams is boundess.
Altogether we have two thousand pris-

Three thousand rebels were killed. Our
loss was three hundred and fifty Killed, and
twelve hundred wounded. Accurate re-
