Harrisburg, Oct. Is, 3 pm.

Since my last dispatch Col. Mcclure
telegraphs to Gov. Curtin the following !:
We have thousands of rumors but they
arc utterly unfounded. To approach Con-
cord the rebels must cross at Handon, 10
miles west of here, aud we have news
from there hourly. Concord is at the head
of Beth Valley, and to retreat the rebels
must 90 by way Of Mercersburg or Han
don, or cross Cave Mountain at Loudon
and Faustsburg, and they could not move
without our having information it. The
report is entirely without foundation, and
has resulted from the exaggeration OF reb-
Ell cavalry at St. Thomas on Friday night.

General Beauregard both to the Adj't

specifically laying down . plan for mill

West by which our forces were effectually
concentrated to meet the demonstrations
recently made in pursuance of it, Ac

the rebels-were first Louisville, then
Cincinnati, and he was particular in stat
Ing how best to reach them from Chat

was his opinion detachment could take
Louisville, while the main body would be
marching to Cincinnati. He contemplat
ed the construction Of work at the for
mer city for the command Of the Ohio
canal and the destruction Of the canal as
passible so completely that future travel
ers would hardly know where il was. TO
keep the command Of Cincinnati he would
construct thorough works, heavily armed
at Coyington. Copies of the important let
ters will soon be furnished to the country
through the press.

CELEBRATED AUTne..- Steele wrote
cxcellently on temperance-when sober.
Sallust, who acclaimed so eloquently
against the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the age, was
himself a habitual dekauchee. Johnson's
essay on politencss is admirable, but he
himself is a perfect boor. The gloomy
verses Of Young give one the blues, but
he was brisk, lively man. "The Com
forts Of Human Life" by b. Heron, was
written in prison under the most distress
ing circumstances. "The Miseries Of
Human Life" by BereSford, were, on the
contrary, composed in drawing room,
where the author was surrounded with ev-
cry luxury. All the friends of Sterne
knew him to be selfish man; yet, as q
writer, he exceled in pathos and charity,
at one time beating his wife, at another
wasting his sympsthies over dead mon
key. So Seneca wrote in praise of pow
erty on table formed of solid gold, with
millions let out at usury.

ABILENE is beautifully situated on a email
stream of clear running water. one mile north
of the Smoky Hill River. near the geographical
centre of Dickinson county, and on the great
thoroughfare from the Missouri River to the
Gold Regions, New Mexico, and California. 1t
is the only town between Junction City and
Salina, and is located midway-being twenty
five miles from each. The country around
ABILENE is the most fertile and beautiful that
can be found in the State-its character being
an intermixture of timber ard prairie, pecu-
harly adapted to agricultural purposes. The
fertility of the SOIL the excellence OF the water
the healthfulness of the location. and the sbun-
dance of timber and building stone, are induce
merits of no ordinary character; while in
addition, the rich mineral resources Of this
portion of the State, The Salt Springs. and
extensive Coal Fields west Of US on the Smoky
Hill, insuring the early completion of Rail
Road from the Missouri River. makes it one OF
the best natural business points in the State.
The town was laid out six months ago, since
which time over one hundred lots have been
sold, and it now contains store, blacksmith
shop hotel, Post Office, and several families.
