EARLY RETREATINa SLOWLY.
Disgraceful and Unmilitary
Conduct Of Gen. Page in
the Surrender of Fort
Morgan.
Special TO The Evening Telegraph.

WASHINGTON, September 2.-The miil-boat
from City Point yesterday morning, reports all
quiet on General Grants front. The enemy
manifests no disposition, as yet TO make any
further efforts to recover the Weldon road.
From Sheridan reliable informatonis is received
that Early is Withdrawing his forces slowly down
the valley by way of Middleburg and strasburg.
The Navy Department this morning received
Admiral Farraguts official report of the surren-
der of Fort Morgan. He says that most of the
guns were spiked, and some Of the gun carriages
broken, and that this childish demonstration on
the part Of General Page and his officers was
made Afler the fort had been surrendered, and
contrasts the conduct Of General Page with that
of Colonel Anderson at Fort Gaines, who, as Is
customary In cases Of capitulation, maintained
intact the property and armament in the fort,
after surrender
Many of the officers Of Fort Morgan had no
swords to surrender, and of those who had, some
were broken. Faragut says that, notwithstand.
ing the boast that their guns would be defended
to the last, not an effort was made to defend them
at all on the part OF the garrison, as not a sho
was fired after the bombardmcnt commenced.

War News.

BY our exchanges OF the 4th inst, we
have the startling intelligence that the
Rebels, from 10000 to 10000 strong,
under Breckenridge and Ewall, had ad-
vanccd on Martinsburg, and that firing
was heard in that direction, which was in
dicative Of an engagement; great excite
ment in Chambersburg, Harrisburg, and
Philadelphia. Later dispatches state that
Gen. Sigel had fallen back to Harper's
Ferry, and that the Rebels were advanc-
ing in three columns.
A fight took place at Bunker Hill and
also at Lee Town, 20 miles from Harper's
Ferry. At Lee town our forces succeed
cd in repulsing every attack. The rebels
appear to be advancing in three columns
No doubt the movement has double OBJ.
ject in view; to draw forces from the front
of Richmond and Petersburg and plum
der. Governor Curtin has gone to the
front. The news from Gen. Sherman is
to the effect that he has compelled the
rebels to eyacuatc their strong position at
Kenesaw, and our army was in pursuit.
The rebel Gems Shelby and Marmaduke
have been defeated, we captured 200
prisoners and took number of guns,
and four mountain howitzers. Gems.
Wilson and Kautz have returned from
their recent raid on the Danville road !;
our forces utterly destroyedeover 20 miles
of the road, all the black smith shops
and saw mills adjacent thereto, rendering
it very difficult to repair said road. Gen.
Wilson states. that the road could not be
repaired in less than II days, if the ne
cessary materials were all on the ground.
This is pronounced one of the greatest
raids of the war, and will prove an ire
parable loss 10 the rebels. Our loss is
estimated at from 1850 to 900, killed,
wounded and missing-we also lost
small empty wagon train and few pieces
of cannon.
Our forces are shclling Petersburg, which
is said to be on fire. At last accounts
Gen. Hunter, with his whole force, had
arrived safely at Charlestown, West Virgin
ia, having destroyed $4,000, 900 worth of
Rebel property and proving victorious in
every engagement

of whom were present, giving short his
tory of the noble part which they per-
formed on many bloody battle field. The
Band then played the Patriotic air, cred,
White and Blue, which concluded the
regular exercises of the day. Every body
appeared to be pleased and gratifed, and
at o'clock the large gathering had dis
persed to their homes, feeling that they
had at least done something to alleviate
the sufferings of the brave heroes who are
giving their lives a willing sacrifice for the
perpetuation of the inestimable blessings
of Civil and Religious liberty.
Great praise is due the patriotic men
and women who were engaged in prepar-
ing and experimenting this celebration,
for the manner and spirit in which they
performed their part. All persons inter-
ested will, in due time, be informed with
regard to amount of proceeds and its ap-
plication.

Death by Hanging.

On Friday morning, July LIST. John
Martin Swartz, aged about II years, son
of Christian Swartz of Summit township,
this county, took his own life by hanging
himself The circumstances as near as
we have been able to gather the same,
are about as follows: Young Swartz had
been unwell for some considerable length
of time, and on the day previous to the
melancholy event, he went to Saxonburg
to consult the family physician with re-
gard to his health and recovery; after
his return home, and retiring to rest in
the evening, he and his sister were en-
gagged in conversation with regard to his
visit to the Physician and he told her
that the Doctor said to him that ''it ght
be long time before he would get well. !"
This fact appeared to have some effect
upon his mind, and in this connection it
is perhaps proper to remark, that, the de-
ceased was generally believed to be at
least partially insane. In the morning
the Father arose in the gray of the NOR
ming and as usual found the door locked,
and as it was yet very early, he again re-
tired to rest, and at o'clock the father
was again up and awoke the rest Of the
family, in a short time breakfast was rea-
dy, and the daughter said to her father
that Martin was yet in bed and that he
had better awake him for breakfast, ac-
cordingly he went to the room to awake
the son, but found that he was not there;
he supposed as was natural, that he was
about the barn and went out to bring him
to breakfast, and on opening the small
barn door, lie beheld his son hanging by
the neck and dead. When the fact was
made known to the family they were so
perfectly amazed and perplcxed that they
hardly knew what to do The neighbors
were apprised of the occurrance, and Geo.
C. Roesng, Esq was notified and immedi-
ately repaired to the place and held an
inquest upon the body. The Jury rem
dered verdict in accordance with the
facts in the case

The Case stated.

The following dialogue, says the Louis
vile Union Press, really took place in
that city on Friday last between an un-
conditional Union man and Mcclellan
Copperhead. The two just read the noon
dispatches, giving an account Of the sue
cesses of the army under Grant
Union man-Well, what do you think
Of the news?
Copperhead-I don't believe it; there
is nothing official; | must wait for au-
thentic information.
Union Man-Supposc the news to
come as you wish-that Lee had repulsed
Grant and driven him back to the in
trenchmcnts of Washington; that John
ston had whipped Sherman and driven
him back beyond Chattanooga-what
chance do you think Lincoln would have
in the pending Presidential election race?
Gopperhead--None whatever Nc
CIellan would then carry almost every
State.
Union Man-But suppose the opposite
-that Grant whips Lee and captures
Richmond; that Sherman whips John
ston and occupies Marietta and Atlanta,
and that these two armies are marching
forward victoriously, what then will be
the result of the Presidential contest?
Copperhead-In that event Lincoln
would be easily elected
Union Man-Then you confess you be-
long to party whose candidate has nc
chance of an election except in the de-
feat and overthrow of the armies of the
nation. That you so desire, | have every
reason to believe but that the unsophis-
ticated millions who claim to be true pa,
triots will unite themselves with a party
that can only succeed in the event that the
country is humiliated by defeat, and dis.
graced by conquest passes my compre
hension
And thus the dialogue closed; not an
other word did the copperhead utter.
