ALTOONA, Pa, Aug. 2.-General Simon
Cameron, on behalf of the Vigilance Com
mittee of Harrisburg, has addressed Presi-
dent Lincoln letter, asking for the re-
moval of Gen. Couch and the appointment
of Gen. Cadwalladerto to the position of Com
mander of this Department.. The excite
ment along the line of the railroad against
Gen. Couch is immense.
1t is almost certain that the rebel heel no
longer presses our soil. The Pennsylvania
railroad company still have their scouts at
the front. They report nothing.
A report was received at twelve o'clock
last night that Averill and Kelly met the
enemy about six miles from Cumberland
and defeated him.
No news concerning the raiders in Bed
ford county. They are supposed to have
gone towards Hancock.

Our Loss i'm the Battle of Saturday
/ Z ~ 90. $500. r@ a a. Z

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAo
July 3l.-The exact loss in the battle of
yesterday is not officially learned, but is
believed to be $500, exclusive of missing.
Large numbers Of wounded are laying be-
tween the two lines and cannot yet be re-
moved. t
Gen. Butler sent flag of truce to-day,
but was peremptorily refused by the rebel
officers They also refused an exchange Of
newspapers. Many believe that either their
lines are very weak or they have some ex-
ing known. The raid into Pennsylvania
may be the reason. The lines of both ar
mics are about the same as before the last
battle. t- .8siJt

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2--The Star says last
night about o'clock some two thousand
rebel guerrillas, supposed to be of Moseby's
command, made their appearance at a point
three miles above Rockville, having crossed
the river at Nolan's Ferry. Parties living
in the vicinity imagining that these guer-
rillas were the advance guard of a large in
vading force, Immediately skedaddled,
which occasioned some excitement in this
direction for short time. Troops were
sent from here to intercept the rebels, but
they were no where to be found, having
gone back over the river.

NIGHT AT NAUGRToN HALL.-The sale of
tickets for the grand Opera Concert to-

served seats was quite brisk, and there is
no doubt that these distinguished artists,
who are simply the best singers now in the
country, will be greeted by a full house,
Those who have not yetsecured their seats,
should do so at once, before 1t is too late.

sides the Operas mentioned in yesterdy's

REcRUITING.-Some one hundred and
eighty recruiting commissions have been
issued from the War Department of our
State Government, since President Lincoln
called for 100000 more men. So far as re-
ports have been received from the recruit
ing agents, they are, generally, of hopeful
and encouraging character. In some por-
tions, of the State, the work Of raising men
is progressing vigorously, and will insure
full quotas to many sub-districts at an early
day, if it goes on as now. While this is the
case in some sections of the State, others
are doing little or nothing, as yet.

PUGfLIsTIc ENCOUNTER There lives on
Broad street, not far from the peaceful shore
of the Scioto, a saloon-keeper who for some

Democrats, calling them 1copperheads," &c.
Since the Niagara affair, in which his mas
ter, Father Abraham, was SO completely OUT
fanked, he,, like the rest of his party, has
been extremely thin-skinned. Yesterday
morning, feeling little more belligerent
than usual, he attempted to play some Of
his Abolition pranks upon young Demo-
crat who took him in hand, and, we are in
formed, gave him very genteel drubbing,
which will probably have salutary effect
upon him and cause him hereafter to be
little more sparing Of his Abolition epithets.

Misunderstanding or controversy. Providence
has, at length, mysteriously led us through
the struggles OF ages to the highest unity In
the assertion and vindication of the highest
right.
The war Is not yet over.-We can have no
adequate idea Of the wrongs yet to be endured,
OF the precious lives yet to be sacrificed be-
lore the nations new life shall be placed be-
yond the reach of the bloody hands which
seek to destroy it; but we state to you calmly
and soemnly, that, In our judgment, all true
patriots ought to regard their lives and treas
ures, without reservation, as subject to the
exigencies of this conflict, until it is honora-
bly, and triumphantly ended.
And especially do we urge you to obey, at
all times, the great law OF love; to pray for
our unnatural enemies, as well as their sur
vivng suffering victims = extending your
most active sympathy to our numerous fsmi-
lies and friends who mourn the loss Of brave
husbands, fathers, brothers, sons, BY this
dreadful war. You will, we trust, on no ac-
count, relax your efforts for the relief and
Christian education OF the thousands of freed
men now appealing to your humanity. We
do also most earnestly commend 10 your de-
voted attention our suffering soldiers, and
urge you TO enlarged liberality In the support
Of those humane institutions, the Christian
and Sanitary Commissions.
IL becomes US, dear brothers, to humble our
selves in the dust in view of our manifold
sins, individual and national. We are vet. it
may be feared, a naughty and rebellious peo-
pie, and God will humble us. There can be

order and unity until we properly deplore our
sins and turn TO God with becoming self-abase
ment and fervent prayer.

and unprovoked rebellion. The Government

force, and the Delegates Of all the Annual
Conferences, in General Conference assembled.
have solemnly recognized this stern necessi-
ty. Our reports, resolutions and acts, of
which you have been already apprised, all

with our beloved army and navy in the dead

We call your attention 10 the fact that
slavery Is the evident and guilty cause of this
terrible war, and express to you our deliberate
opinion that there Will be no peace or safety
to the Republic till this vile usurpation Is Mt
terly destroyed.
We have, therefore, resolved not only to
sustain the Government most heartily in the
struggle against treason, but in the high pur-
pose 10 extlrpate the guilty cause of this re-
bellion. And in consistency with these reso-
lutions, as well as under the highest sense oil
