FROMTHE POTOHIAC:ARMY.

NEW 1UGhf JhuGbTJ OOs
The Herald's army Of the Potomac
special says that rebel captain Of the
9Th Virginia cavalry, came into our lines
to take the oath of allegiance. He had
abandoned the rebel service because he
was convinced it was useless to hold out
any longer, and that further resistance
would only result in desolatiDg the South.
The numerous desertions from the rebel
army encourage the belief that the time is
not far distant when there will be a total
disruption Of Lees army,
A squsdrod of the 4th Pennsylvania
cavalry just returned from a successful
expedition to Aldie and Middlebury, hav-
ing destroyed q tannery which had fur
nished leather to the rebels. A rebel party
of guerrillas was pursued who took refuge
in dense woods, abandoning their horses,
which we captured.
1hs guerrillas along the railroad line
are active, but have done no particular
damage except to capture four or five men.
There was lively skirmishing between
them and our pickets, but nobody hurt.

MARTYR oLDs ON TIE RAMPAGE.
The blessed martyr Olds and his friends
tried to kick up q rumpus in the House, but

was plea for maItyrdon. His object WAS
to exasperste the majority SO that he would
be expelled from the House, and thus OBJ
tain from the people the sympathy which
he needs for his new church. No reply
was made to him; the members regard him
as harmless as a dove.
Both Houses adjourned at noon.

the following notice, from which it is infer
red that the Commissioners are to admin

The book wherein to record the taking
of the above oath, by such persons as may
apply, is in the custody Of - ct -,
who is authorized to administer said oath
to such persons Of that vicinity, and is re-
quired TO give every person, requesting it,
a certificate in the form below, until some

its as provided in said proclamation.

Of - 1856 at - the oath pre-
scribsd by the President of the United

ENLISTMENT OF SOLDIERS.
General Geary is here. Eleven regi-
ments of his division have re enlisted for
the war.
IN RELATION TO ELIsTMESTs.
Inquiries, constantly sent here, may be
answered BY the general statement that,
where soldiers have enlisted as recruits
to fill up the ranks Of regiments in the
field, beginning their service months and
years after the regiment in which they
serve began, the War Department refuses
to recognize any right On their part to re-
enlist as veterans with the old part of their
regiment and thus secure the bounties of
veterans.
FALSE RUNoR.
A foolish rumor is in circulation here,
that one Of General Mesde's corps is being
sent west. If SO, there is no knowledge Of
it at General Mesde's Headquarters or in
the army.
RECONSTRUCTION OF ARKANSAS.
1t Is oficiolly announced that the Presi-
dents letter 10 General Steele about the
reconstruction in Arkansas as printed in
the papers a day or two ago, was ma

General Gilmore promises in q general
order, to correct the course Of treatment
which officers Of negro troops have been
indulging in toward their commands. He
warns them equally against undue kind
ness and uneficer-like familiarity and
he says that negroes are naturally very
easily subjected to proper military dis0i-

CALL FoR 100000 MEN.
The Presidents call for five hundred
Thousand men, before his last call is filled.
takes most people by surprise. It is con-
strued as indicstiODg the conviction that
the tug of the war is to come in the ap-
preaching campaign. The probable effect
is much discussed. The large veteran re-
snlistments filing up the former call have
something to do with it.

CITY ITEMS.

Rain, glorious rain has come at last, laying
the dust in the city far eectually than sprink.
lers cart In fine it has performed both the office Of
the sprinkler and the street.cleaner. sweeping dust
filth and garbage into the river. In the country the
thirsty earth opened myriad Of mouths to drink in the
refreshing shower which fell Saturday morning July
@ vegetation lifted its dropping head and flowers smiled.
For four long and hot weeks barring slight shower
three weeks ago no rain had fallen in this vicinity and
though the ground was pretty well fortified by previous
storms still the drought was quite severe, and we fear
the potato crop will be light In consequence Corn has
stood 1t pretty WELL but takes on frosher look and
stretches itself up since the rain. Though slightly in
telfered with in their haying operations the farmers
will welcome the rain on their parchsd fields preparing
them to receive the late cahbages buekvheat and ur
nps without which il would be useless to transplant
SOW without this rain the pickle crop which Is one
Of tho main dependencies Of many farmers this
city, would have been an entire failure, as the seed
