men Scared Away by the Indians.
We learn from Mr.. EAMEs, who returned
yesterday from the Cottonwood mines, that
the work there has been for the present aban-
doned, on account of the impossibility of keep
ing the workmen. Indians have been seen in
the neighborhood, and the men were not will
ing to remain at work where, it seemed to
them, their lives were hourly in danger from
ambushed savages.
Mr.. EAMEs is DESTROYS of returning to the
mines with another set of workmen, so soon as
the military authorities can give them protec-
ton. II, as would have been readily granted
when the whole army numbered less than thir-
teen thousand men, the Government could
spare an officer and twenty men to act as guard
for the miners by establishing a post in their
Immediate neighborhood, the working of the
mine might be continued, and the company
could redeem its promise to ship a load of coal
to st. Paul by the first of next month.

DISQUALIFICATION.

The people of Minnesota have, with very
great unanimity. urged the withdrawal irons
the State to the seat Of war at the South, Of
one or two regiments composed of our own
citizens, in the belief that they could be well
spared and would be of essential service to the
country in this emergency. The Government,
after long delay, was apparently of the same
opinion, and the result, an order sending the
Sixth away, was hailed with pleasure. But
subsequent movements of troops from other
quarters to this State, show that we do not
understand the " situation" in this department,
or that the unselfi sh patriotism of the people
is not appreciated in high quarters. Before
the Sixth regiment is at the rendezvous, pre-
paratory to its departure, boats are arriving
with hundreds of soldiers from other States to
take the places Of the men of the Sixth. Il
the men were actually needed here, or If oul
military authorities think they are needed, why
send the Sixth away? The whole business
looks as if it had its origin in cireumlocutiou
Office, and was only intended for the benefit Of
transportation lines between here and other
points below.

CITY ITEMS.

WE are apt to be free with our jokes up
on Doctors and their drugs, until sick and
in need of their aid, then all alike bow to
the necessity of recourse to their hard
earned and often ill-requited skill. The
prevailing belief that physicians frown up
ON whatever deviates from their peculiar
system and usages, arises from the fact that
their better information leads them soonest
to detect and discard the medical delusions
and impositions that are thrust upon the
community. That they are ready and
prompt to adopt any really valuable inven-
tion is seen by the treatment Dr.J. c. Ayers
Chemical Remedies have received at their
hands. They appreciate the value of these
medicines because they know their compo-
sition, and where is the man who ever heard
respectable physician either disparage
them or discourage their use? No profess
sion or pursuit has done more for the hui
man family than the medical profession
None is followed by nobler men or for no.

Rules and Regulations for Govern
ing Trade in InsurrectiOnaryd dis
lmS AEd
triCts.

WASHINGTON, August S.-Modified and
improved rules and regulations concerning
commercial intercourse with and in States
declared in insurrection, &C., having been
approved by the President, are officially
declared by the Secretary of the Treasury.
From these it appears that commercial in
turcourse with localities beyond the lines
of actual military occupation by the United
States forces, is absolutely prohibited, and
no permit will be granted for the transpor-
tation of any property to any place under
the control of the insurgents against the
United States. Supply stores at places
agreed upon by the commanding General
of the Department, and the proper super
vising special agent, may be re-established
by such loyal persons as the supervising
special agent or assistant special agents
may designate for that purpose.
Loyal persons residing in the district or
county contiguous to the place, and within
the lines of actual occupation by the mill
tary forces of the United States, may be
permitted to procure from auy such store,
and take to their homes, such family or
plantation supplies as may be necessary to
their own use. Permits will be granted to
suffers to transport to the regiment or post
suffered by them such articles as they are
authorized to sell free of the three per cent
fee, but no permit will be issued to a sutler,
excepting on presenting to the proper per-
nit officer the original certificate of his ap-
pointment, from the commanding officer of
his regiment or post, countersigned by the
division commander, and on application
and affidavit in the prescribed form. Trans
portation is not permitted to any regimental
sutler for an amount of goods exceeding
$2500 worth, nor for over two months sup
ply at one time.
The restrictions on carriers and trade in
boats on western waters remain as hereto
fore. Clearances and permits to any port
or place affected by the existing blockade,
will be granted only upon the request of
the Department of War or Department of
the Navy.
All existing authorities to purchase pro-
ducts in the insurrectionary States are re-
voked, except that products purchased
in good faith under such authorities, and
paid for prior to the date hereof, may be
transported III the same manner and sub
iect to the same conditions as products rails
ed by labor of freedmen, and all authorities
to transport goods, wares or merchandise
into an insurrectionary State, are revoked.
Agents are authorized to purchase for the
United States any products of States de-
clared in insurrection, at such places as
may be designated to the Secretary of the
Treasury. at such prices as shall be agreed
on with the seller, not exceeding the mar
ket value thereof at the place of delivery,
nor exceeding three-fourths of the market
value in the city of New York.

New YORK, August THE Baltimore
American of the 9th, says of the invasion:
The best that we can hope is that the rebels
will attempt to make serious invasion of
Maryland or Pennsylvania. We have a
competent force in proper position to force
them from this side of the Potomac in tair
open field fight.
All that we need is competent General
ship to make our forces available, and that,
if we may believe the reports reaching us,
is want that has at last been supplied.

DOings of the Rebels at Hagers.
town.

WASHINGTON, August s.-The Star says:
From gentleman who arrived here on
Saturday from Hagerstown, where he has
been sojourning for two weeks past, we get
some interesting particulars of the doings
of the rebels in that vicinity. When the
rebels took possession of the town, they
proceeded to Institute thorough search of
the stores. AS the merchants had not re-
plenished their stocks since the former visit
of the rebels the latter got but little, with
the exception of small quantity of shoes
and hats. At the grocery stores they filled
their haversacks with sugar, and their can
teens with molasses, and at one or two stores
they turned the molasses out and let it run
into the streets. The train of cars reported
to have been burned by this party, when
they entered Hagerstown, were destroyed
by our own troops in order to prevent their
falling into the hands of the rebels, as they
contained valuable cargo.

The Invaders Retreating with all
their Plunder.

BALTIMoNE, Aug. S-The American fur
nishes the following in advance OF its pub
lication here: We learn from gentleman
who arrived here this morning from the
Upper Potomac, that the entire rebel force
yesterday evacuated the Maryland side of
the Potomac, moving off in great haste.
Their rear guard crossed at Shepherdstown
at IL o'clock yesterday morning, and the
balance crossed at Hancock about the same
time. From the south side of the Potomac
we learn that Gen. Early has been moving
up the valley towards Winchester, with his
harvest trains, during all last week, scour-
ing the country for conscripts and grain.
The information received a week since that
the rebels would make a feint movement on
Maryland merely to cover his return trains,
has been verified to the fullest extent, and
they are now moving off towards Staun-
ton.
