This battle (Antietam) has been the most
sanguinary Of the war, and the only one fought
with visible design and upon military princi-
pies. The arrangement Of our corpa = the

eral--the sendlng into action the right and left
dlvlsions--!he closing up Of the center, and g.
nal success--excites bewildeting admiration.
and carries the mind to the great fields Of Aus.

such conflict, purchased by tho life and blood
Of twenty thousand men, must be found in the
hospitals. WOr has its gloriea--bus It has its

that make the eye balls ache--the heart bleed

Secretary stanton on Arbitrary Ar.
rests,

The following IL that tportion Of the recent
Report Of the Secretary OF War to the Presl.
dent, which relates to arbitrary arrests. After
saying that "the call for volunteers and draft
of the militia afforded an occasion Tor disloysl
persons TO accomplish their evil purposes by
discouraging enlistments, and encouraging op-
position to The war, aud tbe draft Of soldiers to
carry II on" the Secretary proceeds:
Anxiety wss felt in some States at the prob.
able success Of these dlsloyal practices, and the
Government was urged to adopt measures Of
protection by temporary restraint of those en-
gagged in these hostile acts To that end pro-
vost- -marshals we're appointed for some Of the
States, upon the nomination Of their Cover
nors, TO act under the. direction Of the State
executive, and the writ Of ha6eas corpus was
suspended by your order. BY order Of the
department. arrests were forbidden unless au.
thorised by the State executive or by the Judge
Advocate. Some instances Of unauthorized
arrests have occurred, and when brought TO che
notice of the department the parties have been
Immediately discharged. By recent order,
all persons arrested for dlsoouraging enlist.
rnents or for disloyal practices, in States where
the quota of volunteers and militia are hlled up,
have been released Other persons arrested by
military commanders and sent from depart
ments where their presence was deemed dang
eroue 70 the public safety, have been discharged
upon parole, TO bs of good behavior, and do no
act of hostility against the Government Of the
United States. While military arrests Of dis

CapI,oI work of Can't. king.

This brave and loyal officer was at home,
at Crab Orchard, on sick leave, when tho
pirates reached that neighborhood. He
knew be was marked man by these mar
auders, and he left his bed and crawled in
to the bushes. Fortunately he took Ken
tucky's ancient precaution of taking bis gun
with him. He saw the marauders approach
his dwelling, and not being able to find him,
they burned his house. As they were leav-
ing Captain King selected the two men in
the rear and fred at them, killing one and
wounding the other. He then erawled up
to the spot, and caught the horses, and,
finding one of them loaded with heavy
pair Of saddle bags, he tossed them into
The bushes and made off with the horses
After the marauders left that region Capt
King returned and found the saddle bags,
md upon opening them be discovered,
,mong other spoils, four hundred dollars in
yold. But the richest prise is in the recov-
Try Of Zcb. Wards fine blooded marc, which
Morgan stole at Versailles. When Morgan
earned that she was lost he offered four
dollars for her recovery, but he
had not time to wait to hunt her up. When
Morgan sees her again, he will be happy

Forelgn Harvest Prospects.

The latest adviees as to tho European
grain crops of the present year are as fol
lows:-In Algeria and Italy the harvest is
over, but the crops are less than an average,
though larger than last year. In Spain
the wheat is being gathered, and should
fair weather hold out, fair crop would be
realized. In Germany there will be less
than an average crop, and the same is true
of southern Russia. The crop in France
will be fair if the harvest wheather is only
tolerable. The prospect in England is not
good, though much better than last year.
Fine weather before and during harvest
would make great difference in the yield
The crop in northern Europe does not prom.
ise more than an average. On the whole,
therefore, the prospect is for larger crops
than last year, though rather below an ay-
erage. Considerable importations will be
necessary, and the United States will first
be drawn upon as usual The prospect
for shipment of flour and grain is therefore
pood.-M Y Post.

During the exhibition Of Van Ambure's
menagerie at Monongahela City fearful
and exciting scene occurred Il appears
that shortly after the audience had assem-
bled, a terrific storm arose, which tore the
canvas into rags, and threatened serious in
jury to the spectators. While the storm
king roared aud revelled, one Of the huge
tigers got out of bis cage, which added new
terror to the soene. The vast assembly
swayed from side TO side, first to that part
Of the tent which had been blown oil, and
then TO the main entrance. Some jumped
from the tops Of the seats out through the
opening between the top ard the circular
enclosure others cut themselves a passage
through the canvass, and all rushed with
alarm to any place of escape, preferriug to
brave the storm to taking their chance for
life amid the crashing timbers and the fur
ous wild beasts. Women shrieked for
help, children cried stout men looked pale,
and taking the confusion Of the multitude,
and the raging Of tho storm, the scene was
fearful and appalling. The keepers Of the
animals stood by the cages Of these wild
denizens Of the woods and jungles with
anxious looks. The man whokept the Gle
phant Hannibal, stood in front of the huge
brute, with his hands upon his tusks, as
pale as corpse. One Of the lions had par
taken of tho excitement, and his glarng
eyeballs, erect posture, and extended and
flowing name, gave an idea of how he looks
in bis native forest The tiger which had
escaped from bis cage, was driven back by
Mr. Van Amburg into the same cage with
this lion, and the king the woods had put
his huge paw upon him, and was holding
him tight upon the floor. Nature, grand
and terrible, was on exhibition at this show.
After some moments of fearful confusion
the storm ceased, and the audience separa-
ted, but not until several had been injured
from being trampled on and bruised n the
general confusion which prevailed The
editor Of the Republican, from whom we
get the above account, fixes the damage
done to dresses and bonnets alone, at two
thousand dollars.

Terrihle PoMder Explosion.

The recent explosion of the powder mills
at Hazardville, killed ten persons, nine of
them workmen. The tenth was Miss Gym
thia Smith, whose skull was crushed by
flying timber Ono human foot, blown a
quarter of mile, was all that could be
found Of the six men in the press building,
where the first explosion occurred. There
was a flash brighter than tightening and
roar louder than thunder. Ten tons of pow
der, worth $4,000 exploped IN all the mills.
No building within mile escaped the
effects. The cartridge factory was about a
mile from the exploding buildings, but the
side was blown off the roof lifted and dis
placed, aud the inmates badly frightened.
The windows in the Hazardyille church arc
ruined Nearly every house in the village
has some token Of the dreadful disaster
some have the sides torn down, others have
lost portions Of the roof, scarcely whole
window pane is to be seen, and majority
of the chimneys are prostrate. Trees were
torn of near the ground or stripped of their
limbs, fences swept away, aud acres Of NOV
ing land looked as il heavy rollers had
passed over the grass. Even in Thomp-
sonviIle four miles distant, windows were
broken, and 10 this city the Armory and
depot buildings were shaken as by an earth
quake. The accident, though far the most
severe one that the company has ever ex-
perienced, will not interrupt their business.
In one building which escaped, enough pow
der was stored to have destroyed the entire
village Srringfeld Republican.

what a nemocrat SAYS.

Senator Wright of Indiana, in the course
of speech made day or two before Con-
gress adjourned, held the following Ian
guage:
have been politician for thirty years.
l have been what the world called Dem
ocrat. l hold the same political sentiments
now that l ever did. A friend of mine, in
addressing Union Convention at Indian
apolis the other day, stated a striking fact,
that there were in that convention nine men
who were members Of the second convention
that nominated General Jackson. l wish
l had been present at that Union conven
ton in my State to have made the number
ten, for was also member of that con
vention which nominated General Jackson
! When | was nineteen years of age | attend
ed Democratic convention. l have beer
a Democrat all my life; but, sir, the mar
who can talk about Republican party, OF
a Democrat party, or who can talk about
anything in the crisis Of the country but
the best measures to save his country, is
unworthy the name of Republican, is un-
worthy the name of Democrat. There
should be no Republican party, no Demo
cratic party now.
