hP ARREST OF SPY.-On Saturday
night spy was arrested at New Greek
under the following circumstances: The
fellow had been lurking about the station
for several days and attracted general sus-
picion. A Union scout who has been on
duty at that point, by pretending to be a
rebel sympathiser succeeded in. gaining his
confidence and the two soon arranged a
plan by which they were to leave the post
together and take with them dozen gov
eminent horses. On Saturday evening the
horses were brought out and when they
we're about ready to start, the scout of
course blowed on his friend and the spy
was arrested and placed in close cOnfne-
nent.

B-AcClDENT.-A young fellow by the
name of Wilson Watt attempted to get on a
train of cars passing through Ritchetown
the other day at pretty rapid rate. In
doing so he struck his head against the
bumper of a car cutting quite an ugly cash
in his head. We learn that the boys living
in the vicinity of the Ritchietown crossing
are in the habit of executing these danger
Gus feats, and it is to be hoped that this
will serve as warning. Young Watts
barely escaped with his life.

AGrMoKHEvrY, who is ever up with the
times in procuring the latest publications
of interest, has just laid on our table the
finest military and geographical map we
have yet seen. 1t affords ample facility
for reading the history of the present cam
paign uuderstandingly. The routes by
which the great armies moved are accu-
rately defined from the point at which
Grant crossed the Rapidan to the position
now occupied in front of Petersburg, The
routes by which Sheridan made his famous
cavalry raids together with the cOmmpni-
cations which it was his object to destroy,
are ell distinctly and intelligibly traced
out, giving the reader far better idea of
the Military Situation than volume of
printed descriptions, and adding the lively
satisfaction of contemplating the. compar.
alive Importance of the different routes
leading to the beleaguered Rebel Capital

New YORK, Aug l5.-The morning pa
pers on which the Printers Union compost
tere are employed have acceded to the new
style of prices, except the Tribune, which
still holds out In the latter office the
summary strike against the publication of
an advertisement for competitors to work
on the Times on Friday night is made the
main cause for q refusal to accede to the
demands of the printers or the re.employ
ment of their old hands. There ia a de.
termination also not to employ members OF
the Union at all but to fill the Office up
with new men at an established rate of
good prices. The printers have a vigilance
committee at work and will do all in their
power to prevent oompositors from entering
the office. They say the fight has but just
commenced and that they intend to make a
telling and effectual one. Other offices
which have adopted this course heretofore
they have paid but little attention to, but
they say they will not be SO Indifferent to
the Tribune.

OF the country
lion, Edward Everett contributes to
the last number of the New York Ledger
an article "On the Prospects of the Open
ing Year lie shows that "the pros
pect has never besn SO bright, in the
month of January, since the outbreak of
the war" Abroad, foreign Governments,
pre- occupied by the complications of Eu-
ropean politics, and every day less and
less disposed TO Interfere in our affairs,
welcome the support which public senti-
ment is yielding to sincerely neutral
policy. AT home, the signs OF the open
Ing year are ominous of impending ruin
to the rebellion, and suspicious Of success
to the righteous cause. Mr.. Everett, af
ter referring to the forcible means by
which Secession was brought about,
shows some of the grounds FOR The opin-
ion that the delusion under which the
South has been plunged into this desols-
ting war will prove as transient as it is
monstrous. It is now admitted that it is
the Shareholders war, and the slavehold-
ers comprise but small part of the pop

between the slaveholding arstocracy and
the non-slaveholding masses of the South
there is as little sympathy Of feeling as
there is community of interest. The en-
tire hin country that divides the region
between the Atlantic and the Mississippi
(including East Tennessee and Western
Virginia. is substantially non-slavehold-
ing country, and the population is as
loyal as that of Massachusetts. Mr.. Ev-
erett inquiries, in conclusion:
sis a population, made up of these ele-
ments, and of which three-fourths are
neither by interest nor sympathy enlisted
in the support of slavery, going to wage
an eternal war for It's protection? Is this
probable, is this possible, on any known
principle of human nature? Nay, will
the shareholders themselves proong Q
struggle which is booming to swift des-
truction the very principle which it is
waged to protect ? A war of principle
of feeling, or OF race, may be waged till
the weaker party is exterminated but
who ever heard of war indefinitely pro-
longed for a species of property, by q
population of which three-tourths had nc
share in that property, while the Other
fourth, by the necessary operations OF the
contest, were stripped of the property fol

THE GATE CITY


Let not the sun in Capricorn go down
upon thy wrath, but write thy wrongs in
water; draw the curtain of night upon
injuries; shut them up in the tower OF
oblivion, and let them be as though they
had not been. Forgive thy enemies to-
tally, and without any reserve of hope
that, however, God will revenge thee.
To do no injury nor to take none was a
principle which to my former years and
impatient affections seemed TO contain
enough of morality; but my more settled
years and christian constitution, have
fallen upon severer resolutions. l can
hold there is no such thing as injury !;
that If there be there is no such injury as
revenge, and no such revenge as the con-
tempt of an injury; that to hate another
is to despise ourselves. | were unjust
unto my own conscience, if should say
/ am at variance with anything like my
self
Let age, not envy, darw wrinkles upon
thy cheeks be content to be envied, but
envy not. Emulation may be plausible,
and Indignation allowable but admit no
treaty with that passion which no circum-
stance can make good. A dispacency
at the good of others, because they enjoy
it although we do not want it, is an abb
surd depravity, sticking fast unto human
nature, from its primitive corruption
which be that can well subdue were a
christian of the first magnitude, and for
aught [ know, NAV have one foot already
in heaven.
Where charity is broke, the law itself
is shattered, which cannot be whole with
out love, that is the fulfilling of it. Look
humbIy upon thy virtues, aud though
thou art rich in some, yet think thyself
p or and naked without that browning
grace, which beareth, believetb, hopeth
endureth all things. - Sir Thomas
Browne.
