REBEL FORCE DISCOVERED.

WASHINGTON, Oct IA special despatch
to the World dated Harper's Ferry, Oct II,
p NJ says--Double Reconnaissance made
yesterday and to-day, has been most success
full Its object was to discover the enemy in
force. Both ex peditions were ordered TO re-

Camp The enemy has been discovered in
force between Bunker Hill and Winchester
Their main body Occupying u line parallel
with Bunker Hill and PerrysviIle, with the
right flank on the Shenandoah, covered by ca
yalry. The expedition under Gen. Hum

at Shepardstown pushed on II miles byond
Leetown, converging towards Hsncocks col
nmn. They met the enemy,s advance Of one
iufantry brigade, nine pieces of artillery and
two regiments Of cavalry beyond Kearney-
vile, when spirited skirmsh ensued, the
enemy being forced back. We lost one killed
and several wounded, whom they lett in our
possession. Our force pushed on until they
got 10 Leetown, where they encamped and
were u0molested during the night This

beyond Leetown, when he received orders to
fall back, which he has successfully accom-
plished. The enemy in front retired upon
their main body at Bunker Hill
Gen. Hancock is now returning from his
Reconnaissance, having fully accomplished his
object, namely, the capture OF 1900 bushels
wheat in the possession of Union men and
having ascertained more completely the posi-
ton of the enemy.
Our pickets pushed out this morning from
Charlestown three miles on the Barryville
road.
The enemy's pickets having been drawn in
that direction last night,
Capt Reno with squadron Of Cavalry
made reconnaissance to within FIVE miles OF
Bunker Hill, and drove in the enemy's pick
eta subsequently they were supported with
artillery when they retired. Gen. Stewards
cavalry are on the Shenandoah River, ten

DRAFT IN PENNsYLyA MA

HARRISBURG, Oct l7.--Goyernor Curtin
has been authorized to permit drafted militia
to become volunteers changing their term OF
service from nine months to three years.
This will doubtless result in the conversion
OF many drafted men into volunteers for three
years and is an important step, as it will
probably entitle those who change their term
OF service to bounty, advance pay, premium,
and in fact oil the advantages which volun-
teers have heretofore enjoyed
The draft passed off yesterday in every
county of the State except Philadelphia and
produced so far as heard from no undue ex-
citement.

The Wheat.

An immense breadth of wheat was
sown last seed-time, and until quite re
Gently the prospect was unusually prom
Using. But within the last twelve days
blight, Of some sort, seems to have struck
it, and many fields are so much injured
that the owners talk about turning their
stock upon them. While we doubt whether
the blight Is SO general and fatal as ac-
counts would lead us to believe, it is GER
tain the prospect for the usual crop is Sc
riously diminished, if not entirely gone.
The best thing, then, the farmers can do
is to plant as much land IN corn, pota-
toes, peas, and beans as they can tend adj
yantageously; and thus an abundance of
wholesome food may be secured, though
the wheat crop fail entirely, which we do
not believe will be the case. Let every
family, both in town and country, plant
every inch of spare ground in something
that will make food for man or beast, and
tend it at odd hours which would oth@-
wise be wasted in idleness, and we will all
secure an abundance and to spare.

Partizan Rangers

The law authorising the formation of
bands of partizan rangers, is annexed. We
regard it as an excellent law, and will
soon, no doubt, bring into the field a
large and barassing force to the enemy.
The material is abundant everywhere in
the South.

RANGERS.
Sec. |. The Congress of the Confede-
rate States of America do enact, That the
President be, and he is hereby authoriz-
ed to commission such officers rs he may
deem proper, with authority to form bands
of Partizan Rangers, in companies, bat
talions, or regiments, either as infantry OF
cavalry, the companies, battalions, OF regi
lnents to be composed, each, of such mum
Der as the President may approve.
Sec. 2. Be itfurther enacted, That sucl
Partizan Rangers, after being regularly re
ceived into the service, shall be. entitled
to the same pay, ratiops, and quarters
during their term of service, andahe sub
diers. .-..-s
Sec. 8. Be it further enacted, That TO
any arms and munitions OF war captured
from the enemy by any body of Partizar
Rangers, and delivered to any Quarter
master at such place or places as may be
designated by Commanding General
the Rangers shall be paid their full value

Our Generals at Shiloh,

The correspondent of the New Orleans
Picayune says that the personal conduct
of our Generals at Shiloh was beyond all
praise. Gen. Johnston fell gloriously on
the field. General Beauregard, covered
with dust and perspiration, never ceased
to lead in person, and address words of
encouragement to his troops. Gen. Polk
freely exposed his person everywhere,
and cody maneuvered his column
Generals Hardee and Bragg were the life
and soul of the attacking parties, and
the last to sweep the field. Gen. Glad
den had his left arm shot off, and died
OF his wounds. Gen. Breckenridge dis
played great talent and activity, and
was always in the advance. Generals
,Cheatham, Ruggles, Trapier, Wthers,
Bowen, Stathem, Tradeau, and others,
are highly spoken of by their commands
Gen. Bowen was wounded in the neck,
and Gen. Hardee slight in the arm and
side.
I'VE are proud of our Generals, and
proud of the gallant men whom they
commanded.

Human Nature.

For the benefit of the people of the
present day we make the following ex-
tract from volume third, Macaulay's His
tory of England:
at is the nature of man to overrate
present evil, and underrate present good;
to long for what he has not, and TO be
dissatisfied with what he has. This pro-
pensity, as it appears in individuals, has
often been noticed both by laughing and
weeping philosophers. 1t was a favorte
theme of Horace and Pascal, of Voltaire
and of johnson. To its influence on the
fate of great communities may beascribed
most.of the revolutions and counter rev.
olutions recorded in history. \
Down to the present hour rejoicings like
those on the shore of the Red Sea have
ever been speedily followed by murmur-
ings of the waters OF Strife. The most
just and salutary revolution cannot pro-
duce all the good that has been expected
from it by men of uninstructed minds
and sanguine tempers. Even the wsest
cannot, while it'll still recent, weigh quite
fairly the evils which it has removed
For the evils which it has caused are felt
and the evils which it has removed arc
| felt no longer"
