CITY ITEMS.

ATTENTION, FOURTH WARD!-There will
be final meeting Of the citizens. of the
Fourth Ward at SCHREINER's HALL, ON
TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9TH, to make
last and final endeavor to fill the quota of
the Ward with recruits, and not allow our
selves to be subjected to DRAFT. We are
convinced that we can get out, if only every
man will come up to the work with firm
determination to devote his time and money
to the matter.
MEN OF THE FOURTH WARD! Let us de-
termine to do this and save ourselves from
the great trouble, erpense and hazard Of q
draft. If drafted we must 60 into the field,
for it would be almost an impossibility to
procure substitutes; and now, by little
determined labor we can avoid this. WE
MUST DO II! therefore let every man in the
Ward come to the meeting, and come pre-
pared to pay down. 1t is expected that
good speakers will address the meeting.

Fatal. AccrDENT-MAN INSTANTLY KILL
ED.-Mr. John Breck, a valued and re-
spected farmer residing near Grove City,
was instantly killed the other day, by being
violently thrown from his wagon. He was
going home with load of oats, and when
near his own place his horses became
frightened at some object by the wayside
and ran away, throwing Mr.. Breck from
his seat with such violence, that his neck
was broken, and he died almost instantly.
He leavesua family and large circle OF
friends to regret his untimely death.

CAIRO, Aug. 12.--Salima, on the Cumber-
land river, twelve miles above Smithland,
was attacked by two hundred rebel cavalry
on Sunday morning. They were repulsed
with a loss of six killed and twenty wound
ed. 1000 guerrillas are reported at Union
City, KY, under Col. johnson; also large
number in the western part of the State
near the Tennessee line. Gen. Paine has
gone down there to clean them out. Paine
levied tax of one hundred and twenty
five dollars OH each bale of cotton; twenty
five per cent. of advalorem on each hogs
head of tobacco, on disloyal men for the
benefit of families of Union men robbed
and murdered. 1t is expected this tax will
yield three hundred thousand dollars in
six months.

CHOLERA INFANTUM.-Th The mortality
among children from this fearful complaint
is terrible during the warm weather. In
all large cities fully one-third of the deaths
during the summer occurs among children
under two years of&ge. Physicians, as a
class, do not seem to understand the nature
of the complaint, and hence they fail to
cure it. The success of DR.. Aborn in this
complaint has been almost unparalleled.

The Capture of Atlanta Expected

New YORK, Aug. 12.-The Commercials
Washington special says Sherman's success
at Atlanta is not considered problematical
and the capture of the city is expected
soon.
s.. No material change Is expected at Peters,
burg until other demonstrations have been
worked out. The report that Beauregard
has gone to Atlanta is treated here as an
absurdity. s iol's we
1t is currently reported here that Sheri-
dan has defeated Early, taking large num-
Der of prisoners, near Winchester, and that
Early Is in full retreat.
Passengers by the Evening Star from
New Orleans, report the rebels In strong
force outside Algiers, within six or seven
miles of New Orleans, fortifying the place,
apparently with the intention Of making 1t
the base Of offensive operations. They are
commanded by Gen. Taylor.
The Teche district Is also occupied by the
enemy in large force, in order to prevent
another advance of our troops through that
region to Texas.

Alas. my countryl clouds and darkness,

Scarce can mark the coming dawn;
And thought. with vain, regretful longings.

Shrouding hearts in deepest gloom,

On our hearts the storm is bursting,
On our hearthstones fall the blight;
While with sad and weary waiting.
Pass these hours of deepest night.
But above the storm and tempest.
God still rules with sovereign power.

Thus we trust peaceful dawning,

NATIONAL GUARDs.-The report that the
133d Regiment of National Guards, now at
Fort Powhatten, had broken camp and
were on their way home was premature
A letter from Sergeant Thrall, received
yesterday, announces that they have re-
ceived no intimation of a homeward march
yet. Other Hundred Day regiments are on
their way home, but the 133d, which was
the first to leave for the front, will probably
be the last to get home. The location of
their camp is extremely unhealthy, and
more than one half the members of the reg
iment are in the hospital. Their stock of
medicines is exhausted, and they are in a
bad fix generally. We trust something will
be done by the authorities for their relief.

A DESERVED PRoMoTIoN.-Col. Charles
c. Walcutt, OF this city, and Colonel of tn:
46th Ohio Infantry, has been promoted to
Brigadier Generalship in the volunteer
forces, This is a we'll deserved and excel
lent appointment-one which the people Of
Columbus will heartily approve of and re-
joice at. He is the only Brigadier General
In the service from Columbus-most cities
in the State can boast of half dozen. Car
rington, we believe, was appointed from
Columbus, but he is of as little credit to the
city as he is to the service, and his promo
tion was secured by anything else than SER
vice in the field. Gen. Walcutt won his
star by long and faithful service in the field,
and fighting for it in many bloody battle,
and therefore he can wear it with degree
of just pride which his fellow citizens will
share with him.

News from Texas-Mexican News
Gen. Beauregard at Atlanta.

New YORK, Aug. 12.--By way of New
Orleans we have news from Texas, by
which it appears that on the 10Th of June,
party of loyal Texans, with some Arkan-
sas refugees, attacked the rebel garrison at
Eagle Pass, and forced them to surrender.
They also took possession of the Custom
Hause.
The New Orleans True Delta says Gen.
Cortinas has occupied Victoria, driving out
small French force lett there by Col. Du-
pin. Cortinas is preparing to attack Tam
pico.
The Delta also says it learns that Beaure-
gard has gone to Atlanta with 10000 men,
and will rank Gen. Hood in command at
that place. Fa4sR
The Richmond Enquirer says we COM
mand Petersburg with 500 guns, which
can sweep that city. Hence its capture by
Grant would not amount to anything.

Description of the Pirate Talla.

New YORK, Aug. pa pilot who has
reports as follows: Thursday, 0 A. NJ. about
sixty miles southeast of Sandy Hook, saw
a steamer showing the American flag. She
came close under the bark's stern, but did
not hail; she then signaled the pilot boat
James Funk, and hoisting the rebel pirate
flag, captured the pilot boat, put pirate
crew on board, and then steamed off toward
Moutauk Point, the pilot boat following.
At the same time saw schooner three miles
to windward, all sails cut loose, sinking, the
pirate evidently having scuttled her. The
pirate craft is small neutral, English
built, straight stern, fore and aft schooner
rugged, painted white, red bottom, carries
pivot gun forward and aft, and broadside
gun, and is very slow. The pilot boat was
apparently able to out sail her.

The Law to Prevent Smuggling
TraveIers' Baggage 10 be Exam.

ined.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-Commissioner
of Customs Sargent will leave Washington
next week for the frontier territory, to put
into effect the law and regulations to pre-
vent smuggling. These, he says In his cir
cular, have been made necessary by the ex-
tent to which the revenue laws have been
evaded, and the very lax manner In which
they have, by some of the officers of Gus
toms, been enforced. The examination of
travellers baggage will. under auy circum-
stances, be very unpleasant and annoying
duty, nevertheless it must be performed.
The American people are not accustomed
to being stopped and having their trunks
or travelling sacks opened and examined,
and may ut first exhibit some impatience
under the operation, but it is expected that
no officer who may have this duty to per-
form will suffer himselfto exhibit the least
Irritating, hut at all times maintain entire
self-control and placid demeanor. In ex-
amining trunks, sacks, etc., they will be
careful not to disturb their contents more
than is necessary to ascertain whether they
contain any goods liable to duty.
The examination must, however, be SUI
flciently thorough to ascertain whether
they contain such goods, including laces
and jewelry or not. Baggage passing from
Cne UnlCeu OCaCeS UnrOuBn CaDaua INTO Cne
United States, should be put in some place
where 1t can be sealed up and go through
without being disturbed. When this is
done baggage need not be inspected when
delivered.
The regulations, among other things. re-
quire that in closing and sealing trunks,
boxes, barrels, bales or other envelopes or
packages OF any kind, the proper officers,
in order to guard against false bottoms,
movable hinges and other fraudulent con-
traband, will take care that the same are so
secured by cords or wires and additional
seals that they cannot be opened nor any
part of their contents taken from them
without breaking, removing or cutting
such cords, wires or seals.
Seals are to be used for sailing vessels,
steamers, boats, cars, and other vehicles
engaged in trade between the United States
and other countries. Trunks, travelling
bags, boxes and everything containing ar
ticles of wearing apparel, or other personal
effects, or purporting to do so, must be open
ed, and their contents thoroughly inspected
by the proper officers of customs, who shall
remove the seals from the car containing
such baggage, and no trunk, travelling bag,
valise or other envelope is to be delivered
or taken away until thus inspected, and all
baggage among which may be found secre-
ted articles liable to duty, on which duties
have not been paid, must be seized and re-
tained.

New YORK, August 12-The Tribune's
Special correspondent with Sheridan's

Sheridan's command broke camp at Hall
town yesterday and marched to Berryville,.
OH the Winchester pike, where it arrived
yesterday afternoon, without much opposi
tion. Imboden's cavalry skirmished with
our advance from Charlestown, but were
easily and steadily driven. This morning
at daylight we resumed the march, and ex-
miles this side of Winchester, when we will
either have battle or they will retreat
down the valley. Martinsburg has been oc-
cupied by our forces
The rebels captured and hung Seargent

SOLDIER RoBBED.-A soldier whose name
and regiment we could not ascertain, was
robbed in the north end yesterday by al
adroit thief who managed to make good
his escape. The soldier carelessly exhibit
ed his pile of greenbacks, amounting to one
hundred and thirty dollars, to large
crowd of bystanders, and soon after missed
the entire amount.
There are in this as in every other city
gangs of thieves who have no other occu'
patton than that of robbing and swindling
strangers. They are always on the look
out for soldiers with large sums of money
and after managing to "ring In" on them
by proclamations of extraordinary loyalty
rob them of everything they can place theii
hands upon. Soldiers, ruralists and all
Others should be careful of their funds and
select in their company in the city.

Times Speciall
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Dispatches from
Farragut suffer delay from the fact that it
was necessary to bring the dispatch steam
er from New Orleans. They are now, how
ever, hourly looked tor.
Richmond papers of yesterday say that
their loss in guns at Fort Gaines was fifty,
and they lost six hundred prisoners. There
was also an immense amount of stores Of
all sorts.
Sherman's dispatches state that all the
Georgia militia are now in his front under
Hood.
1t is understood that Beauregard has been
sent to take command of the defenses of
Mobile. That engineer has certainly shown
high order of talent in the kind of work
with which he will there be charged, as his
defense of Charleston and Petersburg at
tests. The present position of Sherman's
army, however, makes the mere possession
of the city of Mobile matter of minor
Importance, and no great solicitude is felt
in official quarters in regard to its capture
At last advices the situation before Pc
tersburg remains unchanged. The interest
so far as active military operations go now,
centres in the force under Sheridan, whose
brilliantly inaugurated campaign goes on
most encOuragingly.
The Worlds Washington special says:
There is reason to believe battle has been
fought near Winchester, between Sheridan's
forces and the main body of the rebels un-
der Early. Very heavy cannonading was
heard in that direction at Harper's Ferry
yesterday afternoon, and it was known our
forces were close up to the rebels.
The Worlds special in front of Peters
burg says: From the front have to record
a great fire near the right of the enemy's
lines. 1t is thought to have been number
of houses called the Head Works, now oc-
cupied as depot for commissary stores for
portion of the rebel army. A brigade of
their troops was seen to rush hastily in that
direction. Whether they succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames in time to save the
property from destruction is not known.
