HARRISBURG. Sent. IA


Men are wanted ID companies. Phila-
delphians should respond Immediately.
There is no time for delay. A heavy bat
tie has been progressing south Of Hagers-
town for the last four hours. We have
been telegraphing all day for Home
Guards and Grey Reserves, and hope they
will report in companies, as all others do.
Send along the men
A dispatch has just been received fir ON
Col. Thos. A. Scott from Harrisburg, stat
ing that battle is going on below Hag-
erstown between Jackson and Mills forces,
and calling on all troops to rush to Harris
burg.
On the receipt Of the news Of the occu-
patton of Fredericksburg by Burnside, and
the advance of Mcclellan, the people be.
came wild with enthusiasm. Jackson's
force was estimated at $4,000 stror o in
Guiding 5000 negroes. Heavy firing was
heard 10 the direction of Hagsrstown on
Saturday and Sunday. II is thought that
Mcclellan has engaged the rebels at that
point.
A dispatch from Cincinnati states that
the rebels were repulsed at Mufreesboro
with considerable loss.
A hard fight is also taking place at
Gauleys bridge. The fate of our troops is
not yet known. Our force is only 1900
stroEg, and that of the rebels 5000.

Gold-paper soncy-Legal Tender Gold the Stand
ard Of Faith.

Until late date gold and silver hAd
been the standard money for near twenty
years in Grant and the neighboring nj
ming counties. Various had been the means
resorted 10 in this time for leading the mi
ners to ceiye paper money for mineral,
but without success. Corwith did-for a
while succeed in exchanging Missouri paper
for mineral, but sudden depreciation in its
value blocked bis speculations and drove
out the worthless Missouri paper. There
upon, the banks Of this State discharged in
to the miners their badly secured paper,
but most of it coon fell to so cents on the
dollar and once more gold became the only
money Of the miners. All understand
how It is that Government paper and its
equals have taken the place of gold. Con
gress has by law established its equait-
with gold and made it par in the payment
Of old debts; but in the purchase Of mcr-
chandise or other articles it is Is to 20
cents On the uollaf below par.
British soyereigns constituted most of
the gold in circulation until a late date I;
bu. few of these soyereigns have gone
from the mines. They are boarded mainly
by our German and English citizens and
some others who are determined TO hold
on to something that can never depreciate.
1t is mistaken idea to keep them in this
unproductive way; nothing can be made
by it, for in ten years they will be worth
no more than at present, unless the holder
moves cut Of the U. S. bounds.
Some are saying that this depreciation
Of Government paper, or what IS the same
thing The premium on gold, is all a specu-
lation and fraud. This is mistaken no.
ton. is well known that if the rebels
defeat the Union army, then our national
paper, being legal tender money, all debts
can stiIlbe paid with it at par--which is
as much as to say that all debts due every
body will be wiped out with but the shad-
ow of something, the substance being gone.
Such are the reasons why bankers, money
lenders-al who have capital loaned or
debts due them, even such as were not late
ly distinguished for loyalty, are just now as
loyal and patriotic as anybody. If the
government falls, poverty will triumph

allowed TO fall. Gold is the exact measure
of faith in the government.
