DHAR EDiToR, The daily increase In the price
Of every necessary Of life besrs very heavily on
all; but the more particularly on those Office
holders who have families to support, and who
are now training 90 as TO enable them when
necessary TO aid In the defence OF Washington,
and, II needs be, take the field. While carpen-
ters, masons, &C., &C., have had their pay very
largely raised, the pay Of Government clerks
remains the came. beg, therefore, In order
10 render their position more easy, to suggest
that the Secretary OF War authorize the Com
misssry General or any other officer, To sell at
the Government prices such articles % tea, cof-
fec, sugar, pot,toes, ham, bacon, aud every.
thing, In short, excepting whiskey, tobacco, and
fresh meat. G. A.
Tho above suggestion seems very reason
able one. 1t would entail little extra troubl,
upon the Commissary Department, but 1t would
srnciiorate considerably the condition OF tn,
employees OF Government who now draw nc
rstions and whose pay has not been increased
In accordance with the regulations Of tn,
times.

tFIom the Richmond Examiner, Aug. al
For the last month q certain printed paper
has been diligently insinuated through our
picket lines at Petersburg, and circulated
through the army, inviting the soldiers TO de-
sert. 1t is dated Headquarters Department
OF Virginia and North Carolina" Is signed by
order OF Major General Butler, and is 10 the
elect that Whereas 1t has been falsely eircu-
lated among the insurgent soldiers that all
refugees and deserters into our 1.-THE Yankeel
lines are forced into the armies Of the United
States to fight their former neighbors aud
friends, ,"-an order Ia Issued from their War
Department, and promulgated cas- q solemn
pledge OF the Government that no deserter
VIII be so forced; and accordingly long detail
Is given OF the way In which they will be re.
eeiyed and how treated. The oath of al
legiance will be Administered to them, of
they 30 desire" Then, II they wish It, en-
ployment Ia to be given them on the public
mands.
Those who come to the Army Of the Poto-
mac will be forwarded to the military governor
OF the District Of Columbia, with reports of
their cases, that employment may be given to
them, If desired; or II not, that they may be
sent as far North as Philadelphia" This Is
all very handsome; but we are not afraid that
many OF the Confederate soldiers will accept
the Invitation, 10 be set 10 digging aud build
Ing fortihcations, or 10 be sent North beyond
Philadelphia. 1t ls also likely that our soldiers
may not quite implicitly trust the "solemn
pledge" of the Yankee Government.
The Confederate War Department, however,
may derive very profitable hint from this doc
umenti and circulate amongst the enemy's
troops General Order, Undertaking to
put them In Castle Thunder, as 1t has been
falsely represented that we debut, In case OF
deserters coming 10 US, to send them through
the lines 10 their own country at whatever
polnt they desired. DE-
They would Of course select the points near
est to their respective homes, aud 90 home and
stay there. II Is known that very great pains
and precautions are needed at present to keep
them from desertlng; and Grant has the James
river and Potomac studded with guard boats
TO Intercept the unfortunate creatures II they
try to escape by the rear. Perhaps they may
sometimes fnd II easier to escape by the front,
In which case they would be carried near to
their own doors. They would also trust the
promise Of the Confederate Government, while
our men can by no means trust the solemn
pledge, or solemn oath Of the person who signs
the Yankee general order above mentioned,
With name Of" B. +. Butler, Mhj. Gen."

No Battle az Antietam.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. IA dispatch from
Harrisburg says: After carefully Investigating
the various runors, and on inquiry st military
headquarters in this city, II Is ascertained be-
yond doubt that there has been no consider-
able contest fought, as rumored, IL the neigh
borhood OF the old Autletam battle-ground up
10 six O'Clock this evening. ,
This is made certain by the fact that we have
telegrsphie communication with Hagerstown,
and that the military operator there, lp his
the day, has not even referred 70 a rumor OF a
battle. Il Is difficult TO ascertain where the
rebels are posted, but the impression among
military men here Is that collision will take
place near Mlddletown, on the Catoctin creek,
about twelve miles north OF Frederick.
Gen. Hunter has been superseded by Gen
Sheridan In the command OF the army operat.
Ing on the upper Potomac.
Maj. Gen. Couch has returned from Pitts

Joe Johnston In Command In virsiaia.
IFrom the Richmond sentinelJ

The New York papers must certainly have
secret emissaries In our midst, for how else
could they know that Gen. Johnston, at the
head OF an army Of 10000 men, was about to
fall like an avalanche upon the capital of the
United states An army OF 60, 900 men added
% Early's command would insure the fall Of
Washington. ~ 1D .rI.
tFIom the ExAminer.l- -
There can no longer exist doubt that we
have traitors in some Of our high places. The
assignment Of Gen. Joseph K. Johnston to the
command Of our armies In Northern Virginia,
and the removal to that quarter Of q large body
of his veteran troops, was not known In this
city beyond the circle Of the INFLATED of the War
once, yet we see the whole Of our plans, as re-
CARDS our campaign Of invasion, spread before
the world In the columns OF the New York
papers. It behooyes the authorities TO probe
this matter 10 the bottom, and discover and
punish the traitor. It does behooye our author
tiles to look well into the matter. We do not
for one moment believe that there are any trail
tors in the War Department, but important or
ders like this are sometimes whispered about,
and reach the ears Of Grants emissaries lurking
In this city, and are forthwith sent of by the
grapevine telegraph.

From Grants Army.

A letter from the Army Of the Potomac,
dated Friday evening, says: No change In the
position Of the two armies has occurred since
the late battle. There has been the usual
picket firing on the centre Of the line.
Heavy firing was heard this afternoon In the
direction Of the Tenth corps, and q report was
cifeulsted that the enemy had attempted to
blow mp fort In that vicinity, but were un-
spccessful.
A rebel battery on the north side OF the
james river, which had become very annoying
the past day or two, was shelled out to-day.
Quite an engagement took place there this
morning between the battery and our gunboats
but II was finally forced to timber up and
leave.n % '' .cn1 4 -t -'2
