FRIGHTFUL RUNAwAY.-Thursday after
noon Mr.. Louis Seibert was driving out the
Johnstown road with his family, when a
military officer, in attempting to pass him
in another buggy, run into gutter and
was upset. This frightened Mr.. Seibert's
horse, which ran away, throwing Mr.. S.out
and stunning him. Mrs. Seibert was thrown
into the bed of the buggy cross ways, and
tainted, and in this manner was carried a
distance of two miles, all the time holding
her little boy in her arms with the tenacious
grip of a dead person. The horse was stop
ped near Broad street, and the mother and
child were taken out, having sustained no
other injury than few scratches and a
severe fright.

MEMPHIS, Aug. 2.-Important military
movements are being made by General
Washburn, which will soon be developed.
Gen. Smith is again on the war path.
Unquestionable information has been re-
ceived at headquarters, showing that For
rest and Lee were terribly crippled at Tu-
pelo. Five Colonels were killed and eight
other field officers badly wounded. Over
$500 men were killed and wounded. Official
reports show that Smiths loss was less than
100 killed and 500 wounded. Had Smiths
supply of provisions and ammunition been
greater, he would have totally routed the
rebels and completely broken their organi-
zation.

New YORK, Aug. 5.-The Heralds Nash
vile correspondent of the 2Sth ult., says
Sherman's army was in motion that day,
though it is contraband to telegraph par
ticulars at this time. 1t was moving by
the left flank, and those conversant with
the situation will comprehend the impor-
tance of such movement. Sherman's de-
lay before Atlanta was only for the pur-
pose of keeping the rebels there, in which
he has succeeded admirably.

KILLED IN BATTLE.-We regret to hear Of
the death of Lieutenant Isaac w. Short, for
merly printer in this office, who was kill
ed in the assault upon the rebel works at
Petersburg on Saturday last. Lieut.. Short
learned the art of printing in the establish
ment Of Follett & Foster, in this city, and
for considerable length of time worked as
journeyman in this office. He was uni
versally esteemed for his ability, his amia-
BILE and gentle disposition, his steady habits
and gentlemanly demeanor. He was killed
while in command of Company d, 18th
Ohio cavalry, which regiment could scarce
ly have lost better man.

Is 1T TRuE?-Is John O'Connel in the
Ohio Penitentiary, under an ordinary of
Abe Lincoln, for the offense of writing a
letter to soldier in Rosecrans' army, who
had threatened tO shoot him on his return?
Can THE STATESMAN or Crisis inform the
public? .e! Inn t. ..
We clipped the above from The Dayton
Empire several days ago, and upon inquiry
find that it is true-John O'Connel is in
the Ohio Penitentiary.
He is charged with writing an answer to
letter from soldier in the Army Of the
Cumberland, giving his opinion that the
South could not be subjugated-an opinion
which Horace Greeley has since publicly
affirmed. He was sentenced by court-mar-
tial of ofultra-indignantp patriots at Cincinnati,
who adopted this means nsofestablishing Of their
own loyalty and claims for promotion I'M
der the benign and merciful Abe. Wheth-
er they have been promoted or not, we are
unable to state. The Cincinnati Gazette,
which hailed the hideous sentence of the
unhappy man with hallelujah, may be
able to enlighten our Dayton contemporary
upon this point. A history of the Ohio
Penitentiary, if ever published, will obyi-
ate the necessity of rummaging through
ancient history, or the records ofthe French
Revolution, for instances of injustice and
oppression to political prisoners, wherewith
to point moral or adorn a tale.

The FINGER PosT TO PUBLIC BUSINESS,
Erc.-New York, Dick & Fitzgerald, 12mo.
DIP. 377; price 81 5O.-Here is book which
carries out its intention thoroughly. The
object of the compiler was to give in small
compass, not merely the forms used in pub
lie business, but the rationale of proceeding;
and in this he has succeeded. The most
ignorant man, of even ordinary ability,
can here see not only how things are done
in public meetings, societies, etc., but why
they are done. He is taught in plain, con-
else and clear way how to get up meeting
or club, to manage its business, to prepare
reports to conduct a debate, to record pro-
ceedings, or to give his views public ex-
preston. A vein of common-sense and
thorough knowledge runs all through, and
the man who studies this work will always
command the respect of his fellows when
he enters upon public affairs. To political
clubs of either party, the book is indis-
pensable. H3Hfr5 gtIf.f aHff

ABOLITION ORAToRY.-An Abolition zany
named Trimble, a self-dubbed Colonel, held
forth at the State House night before last,
under the auspices of the Republican COM
mittee. His harangue was jumble of the
most ridiculous nonsense and stupid vul-
garity that was ever heard in the State
yard, and it would have been proper in the
police to have sent him to the station house
under the ordinance to prohibit profanc
and obscene language and disorderly con-
d lct OH the street. The fellow talked about
God Almighty being a Brigadier and ne
GO Sambo Major General in this war
If Trimble is a specimen of the orators to
be used by the Abolitionists during the
campaign it will not be necessary for the
Democracy to engage speakers, for "that
sort of thing" perambulating about the
country making speeches will make all the
Democratic votes required to beat the party
of which Trimble is one of the lights and
representatives.

The OpERATIc CoNCERT.-The concert at
Naughton Hall last evening by Madame
Lorini and Signors Stefani, Amodio and
Juch was not very well attended, but it was
an excellent treat othose who did attend.
The selections from the best Operas in the
world were particularly happy, and their
rendition was in the highest and best style
of the divine art. The want Of proper no
tice was doubtless the cause of the small
attendance and the consequent failure Of
many of our citizens to hear one of the
very best concerts ever given in the city.

Disastrous Cavalry Expedition :
1000 of Our Wien Captured -
whisky the Cause.

NASHVILLE, August 4.-Gcn. Stoneman
sent force of cavalry, Longs and La
oranges brigades, 5000 strong, on the 26th
ult, under command of Gen. Ed. McCook,
to destroy the Macon and Western railroad
They had destroyed eighteen miles of the
road, and started to capture train of five
hundred wagons, going from Atlanta to
Macon or Columbus. McCOok captured
this train near Newman, with five hundred
men, including one hundred and twenty
seven officers. The wagons were laden with
valuable stores, including liquors and the
private property of Gen. Hood and others.
After possessing themselves of what they
wanted, the wagons were burned. McCook
started to return with the prisoners and
5000 mules, but was overtaken by rebel
force under Gen. Ransom, so large as to
| completely surround him. A desperate en-
gagement followed, during which many of
McCook's men escaped and found their way
to Marietta. The number of Federals cap
tured, it is supposed, will reach 1000. This
disaster is attributable to the troops par
taking too freely of the liquors found in the
| captured train. Longs brigade consisted
of the Sd and 4th Ohio, I'd Indiana and 4th
Regulars. Part of Lagrange's brigade was
composed of the troops with Gen. Rosseau
in the late expedition.
| Forrest is reported at Anlanta with Hood.
| Two hundred and thirty-seven prisoners
arrived here last evening, including eleven
commissioned officers.
SECOND DISPATCH.
NASHVILLE, Aug. 5.-Col. McCook, sup
posed to have been captured near Newman,
has come in with twelve hundred of his
men; five hundred had previously arrived
at Marietta, as reported. lie was very sue
cessful in breaking the Macon road, captur.
ing and destroying wagon and railroad
trains. He captured seventy-two officers
and three hundred men, but was obliged to
let them go. His safe return with so many
of his men reduces his loss very materially
More will probably get in.

.sOMNAMB BULIsSr.

Perhaps the most interesting case on re.
cord is that Of . young clergyman, the mar.
rative Of which il from the immediate COM
tounicstion of the Archbishop Of Boadeaux.
The young ecciesastic, when the prelate Was
at tho same college used to rise every night
and write out either sermons or pieces Of
music. To study his condition, tho bishop
betook himself several nights consecutiyely
TO the chamber Of the man, where he rnsdo
the following obscryations:g.
Tllisyoung clergyman used to ~, take
papet and begin ID wfte.r Bcfors writing
music he would take a stick and rule the.
lines. He wrote the notes with the ,corrcs-
pending words. both will, the utmost acen.
racy; or when by chancc, he had written
the words too wide, he altered them. After
completing a sermon, he would read II aloud
from beginning to end. Tfsny passage dis
pleased him, she erased Il, and wrote tho
amended passage correctly over the Other. =
On one occasion, In order to ascertain whclh.
er no used his eyes, the Bishop interposcd 4
sheet Of pasteboa,d between his face and the
writing. The sleeper took NOT tho ienst no
ticc, but went on reading as before. The
limitation Of his perceptions to what hc was
thinking about, were very curious.
A piece Of annisced cake, that he had
sought for, he ateapprovingly, but when, on
another occasion, piece of The same cake
was put in his mouth he spat u out. II is
to be observed that hc always knew when
his per had ink in II, aud if they changed
bis paper when lac was writing he knew Il II
tho sheet substltuted was Of different size
from the former and IL that case he seemed
embarrassed. But il the fresh slicat ef pa
per which was substituted for that written
on was exactly Of tho snn,e size with Il, he.
appeared not to be aware Of tho change, And
would continue to read off his composition
from the blank sheet Of paper as Aueutly as
when. the manuscript lay before him nay
more: he would continue his corrections.
and Introduce an amended passage written
upon tho precise place in the blank sheet
corresponding with that which ho would
have occupied on tho already written paes,
Such are the ieats Of sornnambulism Tho
ecclesiastic,' indeed, seems At iitst 10 havo
seen through q sheet Of pastehoard; but tho
concluding fact in his case shows thnt hc re-
ally used his perception only to identity tho
size and place of the sheet Of paper. His
writing upon il was the mechanical tran6.
cript of an act Of 'ncntal penmanship. y"
The corrections fell into the right places up.
on the paper, owing to the fidelity with
which he retained the mental PICTURE.
