Inpestsnt Arrest OF Railroad Conductor.
Quite sensation was created In this city,
yesterday, by the arrest Of several of the con-
ductors on the Lebanon Valley and the Read.
Ing and Philadelphia Railroads, charged with
having, at several periods, while running their
trains, embezzled large sums Of money. Other
arrests were made nt different points on the
road, including baggage-masters and conduct
ors, who are all implicated In the same charge.
It appears that the Company have had In their
employ number OF detectives, who have been
travelling on the different trains, ineog, noting
the number Of passengers who were In the cars,
the distance which they Travelled, &c., and on
the returns made by these detective officers,
when they were compared with the returns
made by the conductors themselves, the EVIL
dunce Of embezzlement is derived, aud the ar
rests In question have been made.-Harrisburg

The wound.d at G.,,y.bure.

A letter dated September 25, from an agent
of the New England women's Auxiliary So
ciety, On organization cooperating with the
Sanitary Commission, contains very pleasant
account Of a festival given to the sick and
wounded soldiers In that department, by sur
geons and friends In Philadelphia, Gettysburg,
and elsewhere. An army band stationed there
volunteered Its services for the occasion, two of
the Commission tents were cleared, and all the
tents and buildings were decorated with flags
and flowers. A generous supply Of "good
things" for the table was furnished, and there
w,re games for those able to take part In them.
ltwonld probably be hard To determine whether
the men could have enjoyed the occasion more
than those who contributed to their happiness
In this way. But we are content to know that
"t went of to the satisfaction OF all, and was
participated In by some two thousand persons. -
The same letter gives an account of the Com.
mission ieorh there. The writer speaks of the
camp as Of the ncatest and best-nppolnted de-
ssrption, and he says "it contains the very
dregs of battle from two armies" This he
explains as meaning the men most terribly
wounded.
During the battle the wounded were gather
ed into field hospitals as most convenient. After
ward they were divided; those who could be
removed being carried to the railroad depot,
where the Commission had large tents erected
for their reception during the intervals OF the
departure of trains. There, too, were large
stors.tents alled with all manner of supplies,
and a cook-house, with apparatus in full blast
day and night. Ten cooks and some thirty at.
tendants were occupied In preparing and deal
ing out to each one such nourishment as the
case allowed. Clothes, too, stimulants, ano-
dynes, and all the various appliances which
long experience and thoughtful care could On.
ticipate for so extreme necessity, were dealt
out unsparingly, day and night. And the San
itary Commissioners, "sometimes cooks and
sometimes surgeons" helped constantly In
dressing wounds freshly for the journey. Nor
a'd they abandon the men when they were put
ihlo The cars; but crackers, ice water, and slim
u'ants We're furnished, to alleviate the suffering
"hich transportation causes to wounded men.
when all who could be removed had gone,
there remained The desperate cases. "These
were collected with the utmost care. MANY of
them on strctchers, from miles around and
placed under the three hundred tents which
constitute the Camp Lctterman Hospital, ;, and
there they were, Sept. 25th, In "tents spread
beneath tall oaks and hickorles, the central
square paved with tan bark, forming tou en-,
smJIs decidedly social, economical and liberal -
There, too, was the Sanitary Commission
kitchen, under the charge Of two ladies, where
are still prepared the lighter kinds OF diet rre,
scrbcd for many Of the patients.

The BOllauet.

curious discovery has been made with re-
gard to the bouquet or perfume of wine. M.
Maumeno has found two drops of enanthic
ether added to poor wine will Immediately pro-
duce tho bouquet Of good wine, and also that
the essence Of pears, used in the same way and
quantity, produces perfect imitation of GER
tain well known wines. Tho article referred
to, we may as well inform our readers, is OBJ.
taincd by dlstilling ether with potash and then
distilling tho potash salt with sulphurlc acid.
We do not know whether NJ. Maumene de-
serves any credit after all, for DIR. Thomson,

THE COMMAND OF THE ARMY OF
THE POTOMAC.

The following startling announcement sp.
pean In the Washington dispatches of the
New York Tunes Of yesterday:
The command Of the Army Of the Potomac,
OF course, Is fatal. Gen. Meade In his turn has
been compelled 70 give place to some other
man. His removal from command seems TO
have been determined on. His successor is
said to be Maj. Gen. Dan. e. Sickles.
The command of the Army Of the fotsnac
in Its recent strategetic movement has been
anything but fatal" to the National cause.
By our report In another column, IL will be OBJ
served that Gen. Mesde's skill in handling his
whole command proved fatal to more than four
h"adred n bells, who, under the immediate man.
agement Of General Warren, were killed and
wounded on Wednesday last, to say nothing Of
seven hundred more who were captured.
There is no correct foundatio. for the state
mcnt that Gen. Meade has been coIapelied TO
give place to some other man, or that Gen.
Slckles is to succeed him. The latter General
goes to the front only to be present with his
men, II not to Join In the pending battle.

The Obstruction In the IIarbor Of
Charlie st0n.

From what can be ascertained of the real
state of affairs at Charleston, the rebels have
closed the channels to the city to our fleet, re-
serving passage, however, to their own craft,
after the manner Of u canal with a safety lock
against their enemies. These distractions may
be Of such u nature as not to be removed By
any appliances of our own, or Of too formida-
bic character to justify a hazardous attempt
by our iron-clads to penetrate further into the
harbor aud within range of the rebel guns.
Under these circumstances the best engi-
neerlng and stragetic skin becomes necessary
on the part of the respective commanders OF
the land and water forces to make n thorough
ly successful demonstration upon Charleston.
Such a result is not considered doubtful, but
time Ia necessarily required for the consunIma,
tion Of their plans.-ASsoeiated Press Corres
