NEWS DEPARTMENT.
The proprietors are resolved to spare no pains or
expense to make the ADVERTISER equal, in all that
constitutes a good newspaper, to any published in
the West. With this view able corps of re-
porters, writers and correspondents has been en-
gagged, whose attention every passing event of
importance will claim. Arrangements have been
msde ensuring for this paper the most complete
compendium of foreign intelligence published in
any paper west of New York, while our facilities
for obtaining domestic news military, political and
general, are not surpassed by auy other journal.
Besides having paid correspondents in all the
camps West and South, we shall also maintain one
at Washington during the session of Congress,
and shall always be prepared to send special re-
porters wherever occasion may require. Thus, as
newspaper, we propose to place the ADVERTISER
in the first rank

PAINFUL AccIDENT.-On Saturday last
William Mall, blacksmith at the Spanish Mill
in Empire City, had his leg broken in several
places between the foot and the knee joint.
The circumstances under which the accident
occurred are about as follows: On Saturday
morning boy went to the shop with horse
for the purpose, we presume, Of having it shod.
The horse was fractious, and the boy unable to
manage him. Mall took hold of the animal and
was thrown to te ground during the contest
which ensued, and was kicked and stamped
upon in a most shocking manner. His leg, be-
tween the knee and the foot, is literally mashed
to pieces. At the time of the accident it was
supposed that amputation would be necessary
to save his life; but it is now probable that the
limb and his life can both be preserved by skill
ful treatment.-[Carson Age, 18th inst.

WASHINGTON. Sept. l9.-Oficial dispatch
es from Mcclellan. dated six o'clock this
morning, says but little occurred yesterday,
except skirmishiug. Last night the enemy
abandoned his position, leaving :heir dead
and wounded on The field. We are again
10 pursuit.
A second dispatch, dated at half past ten
O'Clock says Pleasanton is driving the enc
my across the river-our victory is com
pleie. The enemy has been driven back
into Virginia. Maryland and Pennsylvania
are safe. In the battle OF Wednesday,
Generals Bodman, Hartsuf, Duryea, Sedg-
wick, Richardson and Dana were wounded,
and Gen. Meagher was killed.
BALTIMORE, ia gentleman who left
the field at nine O'Clock Wednesday night,
says our forces occupied the position chosen
by the enemy at the commencement of the
battle; that the rebels were driven back a
nile and half at all points except the ex-
treme right, which they still held al the
close of the day. Our informant was with
Mcclellan. and says The days results we're
regarded by him and staff US q glorious
victory, though OOt final one. The Opin-
ion of all seemed to be that the final result
would depend OH who got reinfOrcements
first. Our Informant says nothing had been
heard on the field of the capture of Long
street, which was rumored, and is probably
untrue. Twenty thousand reinfOrcements
were expected from Harrisburg yesterday.
SPRINGFIELD, Sept. l8th-Tbe notorious
guerrilla chief Hayes, was killed in picket
skirmish, on the 18th.
BUFFALO, Sept. l9th.-A fire occurred this

sion, of Allegheny Arsenal. at Pittsburg,
occurred on Wednesday. About l75 boys
we're in the building at the time, and 80 or
80 were killed; the entire building was de-.
stroyed.
Private information received here to-day
says that Mumfordsville, KY, was surren-
dered on Wednesday to the rebels, after a
bard fought battle. 10 consequence OF some
interruption between here and Louisville it
is impossible TO ascertain tonight whether
the report is true or not.
HARRISBURG, Sept. l9th.-Hesvy cannon
aiding on the Potomac, was heard at Ha-
gerstown to-day.
CAPE RACE, l9th.-The steamer Persia
from Southampton, Sept. 10th, has arrived.

Col. FoRNAN.-A correspondent of the
Union, writing from Camp Latham, near
Los Angeles, complains of Col. Forman,
that he allows secessiOnism to run rampant
10 that section of the State, and intimates
that be (the ColoneD is tinctured with se-
eessionism himself Similar charges we're
made against Col. (now GeneraD Carleton,
while he had command at Los Angeles; but
they were shown to be unjust, and we should
be cautious in placing too much reliance iu
the charges against Forman.

THE WAR NEWS.

The news received from the East since
our last issue is important, and on the
whole favorable. Harper's Ferry, which
was captured on Monday last, has been re
taken, the enemy having evacuated the
place without stopping to parOl the prison.
ers. The surrender of the place by Gen.
Miles, Of Bull Run notOriety, was regarded
as shameful.
Another terrible battle, perhaps the most
bloody of the war, has been fought at
Sharpsburg, Nd, o point about ten miles
above Harper's Ferry and near the POto'
mac. It commenced on Tuesday morning
and continued until near dark, when Nc
ClelIan's forces had gained 6auking posi-
tion, aud the enemy's firing became desul'
tory, and It was supposed they were out Of
ammunition. But during the night the en-
emy we're reinforced by jackson with 40,
600 men; Mcclellan was reinforced by 3O,-
600, aud the battle was renewed on We'd
nesday morning with great spirit and de-
termination. The engagement Continned
without cessation from Eve o'clock in the
morning until darkness put an end to the
contest, the Federals having taken all but
one of the enemy's positions. The slaugh-
ter In this battle is represented as terrible;
the Federal killed and wounded is sestima-
ted ct 10000, aud that of the enemy much
greater. Among the Federal officers killed
were General Mansfield, an old and dis.
tinguished army officer, aud General Meag'
her, the celebrated Irish orator and patriot.
But little occurred on Thursday, except
skirmishing. but during Thursday night
the enemy abandoned his position, and the
latest reliable dispatch from Mcclellan,
dated at half past ten on Friday morning,
says the enemy were being driven across
the river, aud that our victory was COM
plete.

The thirteen who survived their terms,

l54 years, or nearly Twelve years on
lhe average Should the three ex-
Presidents see the close Of 1862, It VII
reach just about that figure. The Two

three years respectively, in the shade,
their presidential terms, however, hav-
ing been only four years each. Evf
IDENTIFY, the disappointment ofa renoini:
nation had not been so keen as to burn
the candle at both ends. Mr.. Van
Buren, lived twerty-one, Mr. Madison
nineteen, Jefferson, Monroe, and Tyler
seventeen each-quite long periods
after retirement from. the turmoil Of

on his tenth year, withthe fair prospect
of having one or two more decades in
reserve. Even Mr.. Buchanan, at The
ripe age Of seventy one gives few indi.

MIR. Var Buren, was the last Of the
old succession of Presidents, nearly all
IT whom attained to an unusually ripe
age. Il we except Washington, who
died at the age Of sixty.seven, all those
intermediate reached to. within year
or two Of four score while john
Adams attained to the sage oE5nineaye

Mr.. Polk was but fitty.four General
Harrison, sixty,three Gen. Taylor,

years old, at the close, Of their respective

owing to the circumstance that these
