Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-08-08

WASHINGTON, Aug. GA gentleman who
arrived here tonight, and who has been in
Hagerstown for the past week, says the
rebel force of cavalry, which drove Coles
cavalry, and a portion of Hunters infantry
out of that line on Friday last, were, for the
greater part, dressed in Federal uniforms.
Information has reached here that the
Union officers placed by the rebels under
fire at Charleston, have all been exchanged.
They were saluted by our fleet, and Ad-
miral Dahlgren entertained them on board
his ship. They have been sent North.
A number of families from Montgomery
county, Nd, came to Washington panic
stricken, and reported that the rebels were
approaching in that direction. The farm
ers were evidently frightened by seeing
cavalry force of our own, mstaking them
for rebels. There were certainly no indi-
cations of the approach of the enemy.
Advices from the Army of the Potomac
report the situation at the front as un-
changed. 1t is generally believed General
Sheridan has been assigned to duty on the
Upper Potomac.
A dispatch was received at the Navy De-
partment to-day from Admiral Farragut,
dated the 26th of July, in whic he says he
was all ready for the attack on Mobile.

NIcCOOlk's Disaster.

New YORK, Aug. 6.-The Herald's spe-
cial from Nashville of the 18th, saws the
latest news from McCook's expedition is
highly encouraging and lessons the extent
of his disaster. McCook, with twelve hum
dred men, had reached Marietta, and three
hundred had, reached there before. The
missing now do not exceed eight hundred.
Sherman alludes to this raid as uccessful,-
All quiet in front.

To SUBSCRIBERS AND FRIENDS.

From and after Monday, July ii, 1864,
we shall charge for THE DAILY OHIO
STATESMAN, and for The TRI-WEEKLY
STATESMAN, the prices below specified. We
have not before made any material advance
in our subscription rates. Within two
years, the cost of publishing daily news
paper in Columbus has increased nearly
one hundred per cent. The price of white
paper has advanced to twenty cents per
pound, and is still going up-being more
than double what it used to sell for; the
price of type-setting is more than fifty per
cent. higher than it was; press-work is one
hundred per cent. higher; rents and fuel
have doubled, and every other item which
enters into the cost Of publication has ad-
vanced in like proportion. To meet these
increased expenses, we raised the price Of
advertising as much as practicable; but the
late sudden advance in the cost of white pa
per leaves no alternative but an advance of
subscription rates.
1t will be seen that the new scale fprices
is an increase of but twenty-five per cent.
on the old rates, while the cost of publica-
tion and ofliving has increased nearly four
times that amount. We purpose to return
to the old standard of rates, whenever the
price OF sprint and labor shall fall enough
to render it possible. We believe that no
air-minded reader will object to the new
rates, nor consider them more than right
and necessary under the circumstances

Rebels Marching i'm the Direction
of Wheeling.

BALTIMORE, July 7, 9:40 P. Mt is re-
ported here that force of rebels were
crossing the Potomac beyond Hancock, and
were going in the direction of Wheeling.-
The same authority says Early has been or
is being reinforced by Longstreet's corps,
and that Wheeling Is the point to be aimed
at. We have no way Of ascertaining the
reliability. of this report but think it rath-
er unreliable.

EarIy's Movements a Mystery-A
Cavalry Fight-A Negro Soldier
Killed by ~ Lieutenant.
Especial to the World ]

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Reports from the
Upper Potomac are very contradictory. If
any crossing has been effected by the rebels,
it was probably large cavalry force under
Imboden. The movements of the main col
umn, under Early. are mystery. Therei is
evidence here that the rebels have resolved
upon general invasion.
The WORLDS army correspondence of the
5th says the second division of our cavalry,
under Gregg, attacked the rebel cavalry
vigorously on the Jefferson road, below Pc
tersburg, and drove them, inflicting severe
loss. Our loss was about seventy-five.

soldier, and is under arrest.

New YORK, Aug. 5.-Richmond papers
state that some traitor has informed the
New York Herald of the fact that Joe John

From the Indian Couutry.

ST.. LOUIS, Aug. IA Fort Leavenworth
dispatch to the Democrat, says the express
from Fort Riley brings advices of the late
Indian raid. Gen. Blunt arrived at Fort
Riley and assumed command of the new
district, embracing the troubled REGION
The movement of the Indians seems to
have been preconcerted, and it is believed
rebel emissaries melted them to action. At
all events white men were among them.
The indiscriminate issuing of rations by
the commandant of Fort Larred made the
Indians very insolent. The Government
ordnance train for Fort Union was corralled
at Cora Creek, and saved. Four companies
of the First Colorado cavalry arrived at
Fort Larred on the 9TH ult. Colonies Price
and Scott, of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Kansas militia, at the request of General
Curtis, mustered five hundred mounted
men of their regiments at Smoky Hill and
saved the frontier settlements from attack.
The Indians are now scattered, part of
them going south, and the remainder to-
wards Platte river. General Curtis has
about eight hundred militia and cavalry in
pursuit, and is making every exertion to
meet the future movements of the savages.

POLICE CoURT.-Justice Meeker, acting
Judge of the Police Court, had motley
crowd before him on Saturday morning.
G. s. Gassage and Thos. Smith, for attempt
ing to enter an establishment in Denig's
row, at a late hour in the night, were fined
$5 each. Augustus Korn imbibed too much
of the article of his own name rectifed,
and became boisterous, for which he paid
SIS. Joseph Bringlebett was found in bad
company in the North Grave Yard, and was
fined 81. Jerry Horigan, drunk and dis
orderly, was fined S.. Mary Staley, for be-
ing in company with Bringlebett, was fined
So, and with her paramour sent below.
Harriet Others, hideous negress, affects
the eccentricity of being crazy, and goes
into peoples houses to beg, to lie down on
the floor, kick up her heels, howl and turn
summersaults to make the inmates believe
she is religious, or to frighten the women
folks from the premises, in which event
she pliers everything she can lay her hands
upon. For indulging in one fthese eccen-
trio fits Harriet was sentenced to sixteen
days in the City Prison, with view to her
sanitary and moral improvement.

THE CITY.

CASE OF RIoT AND DESTRUCTION OF PROP
ERTY-PATRIoT CONE TO GRIEF.-Mr. Sim
con Smith is one of the ultra loyal patriotic
Abolitionists of Westerville In this county,
distinguished for his philanthropy and Wig
orous prosecution principles. He rented u
tenement to the wife of a soldier now alb
sent in the service of his country, but re-
Gently he had use for the house himself, and
he proceeded to tumble the soldiers wife,
Mrs. Melinda Bradford, and children, to-
gether with their household furniture, into
the street. This summary and outrageous
proceeding aroused the Indignation of
number of little boys, including q son of
Mrs. Bradford, fourteen of whom repaired
TO the house occupied by Smith and stoned
1t. Smith haG the fourteen little boys,
the oldest of whom was twelve, and
the youngest five years of age, arrested
upon warrant for riot and destruction
of property. The case came before
Justice Heyl on Friday, Hon. G. L. Con-
verse appearing as counsel tor the boys,
and Stacy Taylor, Esq, for the plaintiff
Smith. On Saturday, the second day of the
trial, Mr.. Taylor abandoned the case, and
Justice Heyl dismissed it at the plaintiffs
cost. Three warrants were then issued for
Smith, one for malicious destruction Of
property, another for assault and battery
upon Mrs. Bradford, and third for an as
sault and battery committed upon Morrill,
Brown. The actions were tried before JUS
tice Meeker, who required the defendant,
Smith, to give bond in the snm of three
hundred dollars in each case for his appear
ance at Common Pleas Court to answer the
charges against him. Smiths brother-in-
law declined to go upon his bond, and in
default of the necessary security the un-
happy but loyal Smith was consigned to the
county Jail to await his trial at the Novem-
ber term Of court.

Perpetual Daylight In NORWAY

The farther north you 60 in voyaging
along the Norwegian coast during the
months OF June and July the brighter
and longer becomes the daylight, until
at last you arrive at the regions of per-
petual day. The exquisite charm of this
novel state of things is utterly beyond the
comprehension of those who have not ex
perienced it. Apart altogether from the
gladdening influence of sunshine. there ia
something delightfully."- reckless in the
feeling that there is no necessity whstey-
er for taking note of the fight of time
no fear lest we should, while wandering
together, or, per chance, alone, among
the mountains, be overtaken by night
During several weeks we lived in the
blaze of long nightless day.
] do not use hyperbolical language
when speaking of this perpetual daylight.
During several weeks, after We had cross
ed the arctic circle, the sun descended
little more than its own diameter below
the horizon each night, so that it had
scarcely set when it rose again, and the
of the light was quite insig-
and it did not approach in the
slightest degro to twilight. fl had been
suddenly awakened during any of the
twenty-four hours, in the cabin of the
Yacht, or in any place from which it was
impossible to observe the position of the
'un, could not have told whether it was
night or day. Having said that, it il al |
most superhuous TO add that we could, |
sven in the cabin. read the smallest print
4 midnight as easily as at noon-day.-l
Moreover, q clear midnight was absolute
Z brighter than cloudy forsnoon.-l
