THE VICTORIES OF FARRAGUT AND
AVERILL.


WAsHINaTOS, Aug. 9.-The atmosphere ist'oo
sultry here to-day to admit of much excitement,
but the success OF Fauagut at Mobile and OF
Ayerill in the valley have produced an improved
tone OF public feeling.
Later advices more than confirm the first
reports of Averill's success. His loss was very
slight, and he captured about six hundred pri-
soners, and all of the enemy's artillery. Among
the prisoners is General Bradley johnson, of
Maryland There is nothing of importance this
morning from Grants amy, Ur from Atlanta.
Additional Details.
The number OF guns captured by Averill in the
fight at Moorefeld, on,Sunday last was four; al
that the Rebels had there. He captured four
hundred and twenty prisoners before the pursuit
commenced, and after that picked them mp mo-
mentarily, TO number not yet definitely ascer-
tanned. When the Rebel General Bradley john
son was captured be bore no insignia OF his rank
and il was not known that he was in our hands
until after he had escaped. This is the second
time he has got off lately, when in our hands.

THE MESSAGE AND ITS
RECOMMENDATIONS
ITS RECEPTION AND ITS IN
TENDED EFFECT,
special TO The Evening UeIogr~ph.

HARRrsBuRe, August 9.-The mossago OF the
Governor is now being read to the Legislature.
II Is paper that may well be commended to the
earnest consideration ofthe people Of the State,
as containing matter ofthe highest possible i'm
portance.
We cannot speak too highly Of the spirited
manner in which the Governor resents the mis-.
statements and insults which have been persis-
tcntly heapcd upon the people Of Pennsylvania
ftom certain quarters and the elevated tone he
assumes in speaking Of the State, aud her sacr-
fees and fidelity. He gives us a truthful
history OF the r,cent raid, and OF the barbara
ties inflicted upon the people of Chambersburg,
and clearly demonstrates that the people OF that
town were pOwerless for their defense, and that
the responsibility does not rest upon them or the
State. The Governor shows the necessity of
more efficient protection to the border, and the
continued efforts made by the State authorities to
procure It.
The Governor then proposes o plan for the
defense of the State which, if adopted by the
Legislature, think will be entirely with
in our pecuniary means, and will produce
military organizations sufficient in nun
Der to give us at all times ample domestic
protection against raids and invasions. We sim
cerely trust that the plan proposed may be speed.
lily adopted and that a bill may be passed a.
once to carry out the plan suggested.
There are other valuable suggestions in the
paper, but have only time to notice the closing
sentence OF the Message, in which the Governor
declares that the object in calling the Legislature
was for the adoption OF public measures and that
such only should engage the exclusive attention
OF the Legislature during the session.
| understand this TO mean, what certainly the
people expect, that no private legislation will
engage tie attention OF the Legislature, and that
this session will be made profitable in the adop-
ton of such measures as the exigencies demand.

The London Ecoaomist of July % has the

The Bank return Of this week bears witness 20
a generally increased demand for money. The
drain from the capital for harvest purposes In the
country has become rather more Important, and
the large decline in private deposits Is an indica-
tion OF the more active state of the inquiry in
mer aniile circles. The decrease In the coin and
bullion Is E529,5jl, and that In the reserve is
f652,72l.
