ANOTHER BATTLE REP RTED.

New YORK, July 8.-The following is spe-
cial to the New York Herald:
HARRISBURG, July Evening. ! have
Just received late and important intelligence
from WilIamsport.
The Confederates were drawn up along the
line of the Potemac They had no pontoon
bridges, and were ferrying their wagons across
under great difficulty, n two scoWs.
The Federal army had already arrived at the
scene, and at four o'clock this afternoon fu-
rious battle was progressing.
HARRISBURG, July logo p. m.-The
latest report here is that the whole Confede-
rate army is routed in utter panic. They are
fleeing in all directions throwing away arms,
and abandoning guns, trains, and everything
for life.

European Affairs.

The London Times looks on the present po-
stion Of England in European affairs with I'M
easiness. eve are neither pledged to inter-
vention nor bound to an offensive or defensive
alliance with France; yet we seem to have
swerved somewhat from the wise and professed
policy OF keeping ourselves disentangled from
the counsels Of other States and guiding our
selves by the doctrine Of non-intervention. =
We have entered upon career in which it
is quite impossible to stop short; from which it
may even be impossible to recede-a career
which SO long rs it lasts, is not unattended
with danger, and from which we may find it
difficult to extricate ourselves without some
degree Of discredit.' y
The Times adds: eve confess to some of
the uneasy and unsettled feelings which took
passion of the minds of all rejecting men du-
ring the lowering and unsettled year which
proceeded the Crimean war. Our anchor is
lifted, and we are drifting in a currant which
seems leading rs to one Of two disagreeable al
ternatves-war if we advances loss of charac-
ter if we retreat The Times also says: ''rhe
Russians in Paris seem to be persuaded that
war is all but certain. >

lar circumstance occurred in the town of Wright
near Berlin, in Ottawa County, about ten
miles from this cry. Mr. Ihos. e. Harris
called at our office and narrated the following;
lie had been at work during the early part of
the day on the highway, in that town, with
his oxen, during which time gentleman call
ed to pay him s2O5, which he did in green
backs except FIVE There were fifteen pieces
Of this money, varying from fifty to FIVE dol
lars. They were carefully rolled up and a
string tied around them, and az a mat,
ter OF safety, placed in the bottom of
his dinner pail and left in the wagon.
Having occasion to 60 short distance away,
he placed his oxen so as to feed from the wag-
on and was absent from them short time
Tn his return he found his dinner and money
gone. Dihgent seaach WAS maze for the mon
ey but without success. There was but one
conclusion left--onc or other Of the oxen had
eaten both dinner and money Here was q
dilemma: which OK had eatenit, and how could
II be restored? The peculiar Illuminating quail
tyot this institution made it very dangerous
for the depositors.
Something must be done, and speedily, or
else the chances to invest in 5 2O's would be
gone. 4 thought strucs Mr., Harris. He re-
solved to kill both oxen and make thorough
sfareh among the assets of the bank for evil
donnce, lie accordingly concluded to dispatch
t1e master OK FIRST as he wisely concluded he
would appropriate the lions share to himself.
