WASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON COLLEGES.
"A meeting Of the Alumni Of Washing,
ton and Jefferson Colleges-of Washington
aud Canonsburg, Pa.-was held in Pitts
burg last week, at which DR.. Chester pre-
sided. About one hundrBd and twenty
FIVE Of the Alumni were present. 1t was
agreed to recommend the Boards of Truss
tea OF tue two Colleges to unite as soon as
possible, and have one grand institution
that would compete with Eastern Colleges;
10 have the College proper in one town,
and preparatory school in the other, and
10 settle where each should be located by
lot. The meeting is said to have been a
very interesting one and perfectly harmo-
NOUS
We sincerely hope that the Trustees Of
the two Colleges will adopt the plan sug
gested by the Alumni, as it is the only
course that can be taken to build up a first
class College. As matters now stand, both
the College at Washington and that at
Canonsburg are steadily declining, and if
prompt action is not taken neither institu.
hon will survive many years.

Ar ApoITT KEG OF LAGER.-Saturdi

ALL ABOUT KEG OF LAGER.-Saturday
afternoon one of our German citizens-a
shoemaker by trade-bought keg Of lager
and placed it in his house, with view to
having a CAV time on Sunday. Soon after
the keg had been put away, several OF his
workmen tapped and emptied it Of lager
and filed it with water. Sunday Afternoon
friend of the disciple of Crispin concluded
to steal the keg of beer and invite Q few
friends to help him dispose of it. The keg
was removed from its hiding place and SET
before the party assembled. Upon discov'
eIing that the lager had been taken, and
water offered as substitute, the keg was
again restored to its hiding place. A few
hours afterwards the shoemaker entered
with his guests, all determined to have
a merry time. The keg was brought out
and tapped, and glass or two of the fluid
drawn. The shoemaker discovered that
some one had stolen his prize-it was too
late to replace the beverage-and his invl
ted guests were compelled, much to their
disma7, to retire without their expected
treat.

Local and State News.

WE learned, day before yesterday, upon
,,hst we could not help regarding % good
.n,boritv that John M. Phillips had been
crested by the Provost Guard, Saturday
,;rbt and confined in tho Atheneum, ''for
cheering for Mcclellan and Pendleton."
Accordingly we published the statement
Yesterday morning, as an item OF news be-
lieving it to be true. What was our sur.
nrise therefore, upon coming to the Office
yesterday morning, to be met by the Pro-
vost Marshal with an order for our arrest
and detention until We could prove the
truth of the item referred to. In custody
with the Provost Marshal, We called upon
the parties from whom We had our infor>
nation concerning the matter, and they
confirmed our statement Of the case. Lieut..
Knapp then assured them that they were
mistaken as to the cause of Phillips arrest;
that the charge against Phillips Was Drink-
ing to the health of JEFF. Davis; saying he
was jeff. Davis man and singing rebel
song" We were then discharged from
custody.
We are very glad to state that we have
been assured by the military authorities of
this city that they have no desire neither
have they any authority to interfere with
any citizen for the free expression OF his
preference for either one of the Presidential
candidates in the field. We are also in
formed, upon good authority, that both
General Crook and General Sheridan are
favorable to the election of Mcclellan, and
that no voter in this Department need be
deferred from voting for the candidate OF
his choice by any fear of military interfer-
ence.
Notwithstanding it is rather unpleasant to
be arrested, We are gratifed to know that
the military authorities of the city consid>|
cred the mere statement that o man had
been arrested by them "for cheering for
Mcclellan aud Pendleton." such SANDER
as to warrant the arrest Of him who report \
ed it, They have proved, by our arrest
their condemnation of any interference with
the right of citizens to cheer or vote for
Mcclellan, and We trust that all the friends
Of Little Mac will consider themselves
at full liberty to labor for his election, with
cut any hindrance from the officers in COM
mand at this post or in this Department.

New YoRK, Oct. 3.-The Tribune special
says, our lines now extend from Ohapin's
Bluff to White Oak Swamp, at distance
Of five or six miles from Richmond. From
the Bluff We command the enemy's pom
toon bridge across the James. The regi-
ments most warmly engaged were the ! 18th
New York, the 9th Maine, the 8lst New
York, the 18th and 9Th Connecticut, the
47th and l42d New York and Gen. Paine's
colored division. Our entire loss is esti
mated at 100.
The Tribunes special says, it is reported
that Torbett's cavalry captured one Of
Early's trains beyond Staunton. A great
many rebels who, after the Winchester
fight, scattered among the mountains, are
coming and delivering themselves up.
Large number Of strsgglers are also picked
up. 1t is reported and believed that force
of rebel cavalry had taken possession Of
Grafton
We had no force there. Citizens Of Har-
risonburg say that Early had but four
pieces of artillery and but 10, 600 men when
he passed that place. At Stanton, how
ever, he had two batteries of five pieces
each in reserve. His troops had lost their
regimental organizations and were retreat
ing pell NELL for some place Of safety.
The Herald's Washington correspondent
says Mosby has sent word to his command
that he will be unable to join them owing
to his wound. Maj White takes his place.
The Herald's 10th Corps correspondent
says the rebel prisoners say Davis and his
cabinet have fed from Richmond.
The Wing was the only Richmond paper
printed on the 30th, owing to the general
impressment of arms bearers.
Lee is said to be acting Independently Of
all instructions. He is in fact military die
tator of the rebellion. A. his retreat in
the direction of Weldon is cut of it is
thought he will concentrate his forces in
Richmond and fight the life or death strug
gle there.

OF this city made few pertinent remarks,
after which the following preamble was
unanimously adopted and signed by up>
wards Of two hundred persons:
Believing that the reelection of Abraham

sive of the liberties of the people and des-
tructive of the Union of these States; and
believing further that George B. McClellan
is the only presidential candidate now be-
fore the people whose election can preserve
the Union and restore peace to our country,
We hereby form ourselves into Mcclellan
Club, whose object shall be to labor, in the
use Of all honorable and lawful means, for
the election of George B. Mcclellan to the
Presidency of the United States, to the end
that the Federal Union may be preserved,
the Constitution maintained and the rights
Of every citizen guaranteed.
On motion, all persons feeling interested
in the cause, were requested to circulate
copies of the above preamble in the diffe,
rent wards of the city, and procure sigma
lures thereto. Messrs. A. j. Sweeney, j,
M. Bickel, T.. J. Campbell and s. Mcclellan
were appointed committee to nominate
permanent officers for the Club, with in>
structions to report to night, after which
the meeting adjourned.
