SUBSTITUTE BRoKER's DEvIcEs.-As fast
as men are enlisted and sent to Camp Berry,
the efforts of substitute brokers to get at
them, and, probably, to obtain their money,
or, to arrange for their desertion, Increase.
These brokers attempt to get into the camp
under all sorts of devices. Nov passing them
selves off as brothers and then again as uncles
or fathers. An attempt OF this kind was made
yesterday. A man presented himself to the
guard and sent a note to Major Rollins asking
If he could see his brother. "Certainly," re-
piled the worthy Major, and the man was ad-
mitted and went to the Majors Office. His
'brother" was sent for, and on making his ap-
pearance the man jumped up saying, shat is
my brother, ohm King" and rushed towards
him. "Stop," cried the Major, 'let us see how
this is" He then asked King if the man was
his brother? NO." replied King, II never
saw him belore' Then, on recollecting,
King stated to Major Rollins that the man
was Boston substitute broker. Major Roll
Inns Immediately ordered guard to conduct
the fellow out of the camp.

Three Ewes to See Il.

We have the assurance of that true man
AMI good orator, the Raw. Robert J. Brecken-
ridge, that kentucky will not swallow the
Chicago Platform. He mildly calls it a "trick.p
and moderately designates it as Scanning,
swindling" thing. In speech to his neigh
bors lately, he said Il reckon you have sill
seen little instrument lying on the table in
/ some OF your friends's parlors, by which If you
look at thing, with both eyes at the same
time, the thing changes to some other thing.
AT Chicago, they fixed up their Platform up
upon this funny instrument. If you look at
1t with one eye, it is one thing-if you look at
1t with the other eye it is another thing; but
If you look at it with both eyes at once, it is
something else. So, il you look at Mcclellan
with one political eye and at Pendleton with
the other, you don't see either Mcclellan or
Pendleton; but one runs into the other, and
only see the Patform Shut your Nc
Clellan eye-you don't see the Platform. -
Yon have got look with one eye at McClel-
Ian you don't see the Platform. Shut
your Pendeton eye--you don't see the Plat
form. You have got to look with one eye at
Mcclellan and with the other at Pendleton, in
order to see this wonderful Platform. Oh !my
friends and neighbors, the whole Chicago
thing is cunning swindling trick that does
not suit this latitude, and piu not go do,on."
We reckon" as the Doctor says, that it does
not suit the latitude of New York either.
Kentucky has no monopoly of the love oftruth
and square-dealing. That Platform win not
go down in single Northern or Western

WHAT DANIEL WEBSTER DID SAY.-As
the Copperhead calumny on Webster's senti-

be well to recall what Daniel webster did say
in his speech at Buffalo, May %, 1851, one Of
the last speeches he ever made:
eff the South want any concessions from me,
they won't get it-not hairs breadth of it.
y never would consent that there
should be one foot of slave territory beyond
what the cd thirteen States had at the forma-
ton of the Union. Never, never! The man
can't show his face to me, and prove that 1
departed from that doctrine. He would sneak

From the Army before Ricanond.-Re5el
fell back to their maine line of tcorks. rss
HEADQUARTERS ARMY PoToMAc,
October I'd.
There was no fitting to-day. The rebels
fell back this morning TO their main line of
works, which run from the head works to the
south side road near it. The position OF the
rebels is very strong and cannot easily be
carried. ,s.
A division Of the I'd corps advanced to the
Boynton road, over which the enemy wagon
their supplies to Petersburg. Two lines of
works were found unoccupied, only a skirm-
ish line opposing the advance and falling
back, as our troops went forward. Near the
Boynton road very formidable line of works
was found, behind which the rebels were
posted ia heavy force. 1t was not deemed
advisable to attack and our men fell back and
occupied safe position. They lost few
wounded in the advance. Our loss on Friday
was greater than at first stated, The total
number of killed, wounded and prisoners foot
up not far from 1000, more than half of whom
were taken prisoners. This occurred in conse-
quence of gap being left between a part of
the 9th and 9th corps, through which the en-
envy charged and 1anked the I'd division of
the 9th corps.
Among the causalties are Lieut.. Col. Otis.
commanding lst brigade of Ayres division,
wounded In the face, but not seriously. Capt.
Fish of the Sd infantry, seriously in head. A
shell from rebel battery grazed Gen. Meads
boot leg and took piece of the tail off of Gen.
Humphreys horse and entered the ground
between Gems. Bartlett and Griffin. Fortu-
nately it did not explode.
Oct. I'd A. M. Some firing occurred last
night without any important results.
New YORK, Oct. 5.

rebel attack on the 18th corps. Gen. Weitzel
sent ont Hawking force, which swept in 500

view Of running line of steamers between
Portland and New York,
The Company has recently been organized
with capital of 100000. Aspecial meeting
has been called for the purpose of increasing
the capital to s250,OOO. The officers of the
Company are as follows: AZ

The propellors Chesapeake and Potomac
have been merged into this COMPANY. the
stock owned by Messrs. Cromwell of New
York, having been bought out by this corpor-
alton. The surviving partners of Mr.. Crom-
well take one-fourth part of the capital stock,
the other three-fourths being owned in this
city and vicinity ao saisas
The proposed increase of capital stock is for
the purpose Of building new steamer of 700
or SOO tons, with first class accommodations
for 100 passengers. The hull viii probably be
built here, and the vessel got in readiness to
take her place on the line next year. The
increased travel by the sea route from this
port to New York renders larger steamer
nccessary-one that will afford accommoda-
tions for the numerous passengers that apply.
1t is intended that the new steamer shall be
fitted up with all the modern improvements
and accommodations for passengers, so as to
render the passage comfortable and pleasant
We congratulate the Company upon the
favorable auspices in which they commence
their career, and we congratulate our mer-
Chants that the management of this line is un-

been managed in the past.
