Rsutss - the East.
1t is = matter Of surprise, not to say Of
actual unbslief. to many if no. most Of
the people Of the Northwest, West and
South west, that from Green Bay and La.
Crosse. on the North, to Cairo aud St.
Louis. on the South, the shortest route 70
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore,
lies through Pittsburgh. When we add
that this route, so generally supposed to
BE- cirouitOus one to New York, 10 aetu-
ally nearly one hundrsd miles shorter than
the route via Toledo, Buffalo, and Albsuy,
and sixty miles less distance than via To-
ledo l. Erie Railway; this fact becomes
only the more astounding to the large
number Of persons who have heretofore
regarded Buffalo ~ on the direct line 10
New York. A further advantage of the
route via of Pittsburg. is, that there is
but one change Of cars, between Chicago
and New York or Philadelphia, an ad-
vantage Of great moment to ladies and
families, and withal of no less comfort to
business men. All these advantages can
be secured. by buying your ticket to the
East over the Pittsburgh; Fort Wayne r
Chicago Railway, which can be had in
Chicago, and at al the Ticket Offices Of
all prominent lines in the West.
The reduction of fare just made by this
line, to $1,000 from Chicago to New
York. privilege belonging to the short
est line to make Tie rates, should induce
our paople gananlly to try this new and
admirably appointed line, whereby they
can reach the East In less time and for =
lower fare than by any other route.

Col. Bowen Of the same regiment.
Cornyn is reported to have struck Bow

shot Col. Cornyn in places, killing him
instantly. There is great excitement
among the soldiers, but no further trouble

One of the latter killed, and several Of

ing counties in the southern part of the
State contain numerous seceshioDists. At
Visallia great excitement prevailed. Some
Union citizens organized homo guard,
and others pursued the parties who fred
at the soldiers. The house of the man
who shot the soldier was burned down on
the night Of the 18th, which sxasperated
both Unionists and Secsssionists, each
accusing the other of the deed. General

opinion is that news has been received

for peace, believing their armies demon
allied aud broken up.
Some assert several Cabinet meetings

The Herald 3 correspondent says recent
reconnoisances demonstrate that there is
still force of rebel infantry in the Shen-
nandoah Valley, ready to fall upon our
rear In case our army advances without
any consideration.
The main force of Lees army is on the
line of the Rappidsn, and Lees headquar-
tiers are 1t Gordonsville. Intelligence
says bis force is not 30 large now as when

received $4,000 reinforcements from the

Admiral Porter has been granted two

the North sitter making necessary ar
raDgements for the management Of the

Lieutenant, recently deserted from

helpless condition of affairs for the rebsl
Confsderacy. Great dissatisfaction is
