Special TO TriJune.-Col. Robinson,
Provost Marshal, has arrested between go
any 70 citizens Ct Rappahannock county,
who will not take the oath of allegiance.
8 days grace has been granted. at the ex-
piration Of which, if they will not swear,
they will e sent Immediately beyond the

Two intelligent German deserters from
he rebel army came within our lines last
evening. They left Richmond two weeks
ago, aud state that great distress prevailed
in the rebel camp, that all the soldiers are
living upon nothing but fresh beef and
-four, with no salt, sugar nor coffee, that
the regiments would no. average more than
800 men, they also pretend that they
overheard prominent rebel officers say
that their condition was more desperate
than it had Jeen at any time during the
war.

Pay Of Volunteers Duration of lie Var.

Gov. Solomon has decided to pay all
volunteers, whether recruits for old regi-
ments, or for companies now forming.
State bounty Of $4,000. They are also 10
receive a fourth part Of their $4,000 gov
eminent bounty in advance, IS som as re-
ceiyed INTO the service, besides one months
pay ID advance, together with 16o acres Of
land, and including clothing, rations, med
ical attendance, travelling expenses, dc.
The Grant County Beard Of Supervisors
are to hold a meeting on Saturday Aug
9Th, for the purpose, if thought advisable
By the mass meeting to be held on that
day, Of appropriating county bounty to
volunteers. Mr. j. L. Piekard offers a
bounty Of $4,000 to the first company
raised in Grant county, ard other wealthy
citizens viii probably aid in like manner.
Considering also that disabled soldiers are
to receive a pension and the families Of sol
a State bounty Of $500 Ter month, the to-
tai allowance to priyates almost equals the
income of the commissioned officers
Much depends however on the duration Of
the war for the pay rate FER month.
Should the war close 10 six months, the
pay to priyates will BE- at a rate exceeding
$4,000 per month. If in one year, the
pay will be about 10000 per month; and
ssw0n, diminishing in proportion to the
length Of service, but not falIii G below a
net rate Of about $500 per month for
three years. But under the new arrange
ments Of the government, the war must
close very soon. Near million Of men
will be in the fed before the close ofthree
months, these being enough without ques-
ton to crush the rebellion at once, as tie
rebels cannot muster half SO many-hay-
ing already by their CONSUMPTION act swell
ed their army to its utmost. Their losses
by diseases, desertions, prisoners, and the
calamities Of war r.ust reduce their number
each day, while the supplies Of northern
hordes must keep up the union army to its
forthcoming standard Of near a million.
The war cannot last beyond six or nine
months. with such differences in our favor
and may be closed BY fall or early winter
These are substantial facts.

Great Var Meeting at Milwaukee.

The number attending the State war
meeting at Milwaukee last week proyedin
calculable, as judges 50 widely disagree.
The number was twenty to" b thousands.
There was speaking from several stands,
the chief speakers being Lovejoy, Senators
Howe and Doolttle, Geo. 3. Smith. with
a host Of rising stars less conspicuous above
the public horizon. At this gleat meet
ing Of popular representations Of the Peo-
pie from all parts Of the State, With the
Senators and Representatives in Congress,
the State officers and Judiciary, and officers
representing the general government, and
generals Of the army, various measures
were agreed upon Of vast public impor-
lance. 1t was popular Legislature, enti-
tied to more respect than the one which
last met at Madison.

SpectaI TO Tfmes-There was report
in Washington on Saturday, that McClel-

for the purpose Of changing the place Of
advance upon Richmond. The rumor wss
startling to the general ;.:.5 iic, out crafty
ing to lie more thoughtful, who think the
successful performance .: such a change
would greatly improve the situation. The
rumor had its origin no doubt, in the ex-
petition that has just effected an impor-
tant movement across the James River.
The order Of the Governor Of Missouri
for the enrolment Of all the militia Of that
State is still causing trouble in St. Louis.
Hundreds Of mechanics who were at work
on the gunboats, and in the iron plate
mills, have threatened to leave the State
to avoid the CONSUMPTION. and mill owners
are here to prescribe modification OF the
Governors proclamation.

Progress Of Volunteering IN Grant.

Mr.. z. S. Swan of Potosi has, we learn,
about forty men now enrolled on bis list
for the 25th, with prospects for many
more. Mr.. L. S. Mason of Cassyille has
probably about tie same number enrolled
for the west part Of the county. Mr.. II.

There will be a meeting and conference Of
all the con missioned officers at Lancaster
on Saturday next, at which time some ar

these several parts of companies 50 as to
form two full companies at once, this num-
Der being all that can be gotten into the

AaUE CURE.-This is something Of
science as well as medicine. The supreme
difficulty Of the science is to accomplish
its without injury to the health-tho
supreme excellence ofthe medicine is in ac-
complishing just that. Fever and Aguo
has long been cured by Quinine, Arsenic,
Blsmuth, Mercury, but the mischief was
the deep and often painful footprints they
have left on the constitutions treated by
them. Doctor Ayers new remedy cures
without particle Of either of these or any
other deliterious substance. And he prom
ises not only absolute safety but perfect
certainty ofcure, with which we may ner-
ton another quality ofexcellence not 70 BE-
overlooked in these times, and that is bis

nE Mr.. N. Whitman informs the Wit-
ness that he has recruited about 40 men in
Grant County for the Twentieth Regiment
chiefly from Platteville.
The Witness says that an old man nam
ed Quinsey and a young man named
Kaump lost their lives in that vicinity,
July Gath, BY going down into a foul well.
It is something strange that in mining
country men can be found SO wanting in
knowledge as to venture into wells and
mineral holes without letting down can
die or lighted taper to indicate whether it
is safe or not to venture down with hui
man lungs.
Spirited War Meetings have been held
at Platteville, at which resolutions were
adopted 10 raise company in that vicinity.
The wealthy men Of that place offer to
contribute literally to those who volunteer.
At the meeting held on the 26th Of July,
Messrs. J. G. Scott, J. w. Smoker and J.
M. Shaw Of Platteville, were recommended
to the Governor for commissions to raise
company. At the same meeting res
olption was adopted recommending the
Cour ty Board Of Supervisors to make a
liberal appropriation on behalf the County
to persons volunteering in companies form
ed in the county. AT the close Of the
meeting letter was introduced and read

Gov. Todd has decided that after the
18th Of August, Ohio will pay no more
bounties. If there shall be a deficiency Of
volunteers, then it will be made up by draft
without bounty. Other Governors will do
The same thing, and the Secretary Of War
will probably adopt it.
On Saturday, at the urgent request Of
the Governor Of Iowa, in order to reach
the eyiI-disposed traitors who are discour-
aging enlistments, he was authorized by
the Secretary Of War to make draft
whenever and wherever be should think
proper.
Similar applications have been made by
other Governors, aud will probably be
granted.
