Bugs

The correspondent of the n. Y. Time,
with the Army of the Potomac, in a par
oxysm of suffering gives his reason TO,
the omission of a certain duty, as fol
lows
The reason of the p~ostponement last
night was beyond my control. Bugs were
the sole and insuperable cause. Not tie
sort of midnight marauders which were
my pest and abomination in years long
ago, when my lot was cast in a ~respecta-
BILE New York boarding house. There
are none such here but bugs of a large
and less odius kind-Virginia bugs, can
die bugs, the native Virginia negroes call
them-bugs of every possible variety
bugs with long legs and hard backs-bugs
with short legs,,aud sheathed wings-bugs
with slender whisk like anteae, and bugs
with short serrated f~eelers, yellow bugs.
green bugs, red bugs, variegated bugs,
bugs with all the dolores of the prism,
beautiful bugs, and black repulsive, hid
eous bugs ; in fact all the bugs and more
besides that were ever seen in the Lest
chronological collection, with a large
Pickering of bread winged and narrow
winged and stout bodied moths. Prof.
Agassiz would doubtless like to have Sc
cured those demons of the night for his
cabinet, but we nave no time to devote to
natural history-positively dislike them.
Their unruly habits make sitting in the
open tents at candle light almost impos-
sible. Without warning, they dash head
foremost ut our faces, plunge madly into
our ink bottles, drown themselves in the
WATERFALL, bury themselves in our hair,
immune themselves between our necks
and shirt:collars, eclipse the condles. cause
more lodging of heads han cannon balls
are apt to do, and make us shrink with a
fiesh-creeping feeling beneath the shields
of mosquito bars, where we find refuge in
from their miserable droning. Last
night there was an Egyptian plague of
them. They swarmed about our camp
in myriads. In the words of JEFF. Davis
we beseech them to "let US %alone,"

100000 MORE.

Mr.. LINCOLN calls for five hundred
Thousand merepictims-Look at the fig
ures for a moment. He received of the
popular vote, fer President in 1860, l..
666,452 votes. We are informed by the
reports from the war Department that he
has already received from the Northern
States 2,352,56O men between the ages oil
718 and As years, to enable him to put
down the rebellion, which he at first pro.
posed to do with $4,000 three months
men. This number already called into
actual service exceeds the number of men
who voted for him for President by 1885,
108. Ohio has furnished for this crusade
235, 800 men, being $3.50 more than vo-
ted for LINCOLN in 1860 for President.
Still the ~domoniacal yell is, fire hundred
thousand more. "No body as hurt"

COST OF -CONsCRIPTED SOL
DIERS.

1t has been stated, and is undoubtedly
true, that each conscript already mustered
into the United States service, has cost
the people not less than $4,000. This sum
is enormous, but when we come to consid.
er the almost Infinite number of officers
who are stationed in every township in
the Northern States, for the purpose of
executing the conscript law and hunting
down deserving conscripts at enormous
prices, ranging from SIS to $50 per scalp,
we cannot doubt the correctness of the
figures. We have our enrolling officers
by thousands, cur drafting Commissioners,
Examining boards, Provost Marshals, and
spies, all of whom are paid out of the pub
lie pocket, and most of them get good
round sums for their services. Would it
not be better to abolish the horrid and
detested CONSUMPTION and apply the enor-
nous sums of money it takes to execute
it, to increasing the soldiers pay to S25
or $50 per month, rather than to feed
these hordes of sappers and miners and re-
ccive no consideration for it We are
convinced that if such a course had been
pursued we would not have had the dis
satisfaction, the mobbing and rioting that
We have had already, and will have under
the present call for more victims for the
completion of the tragedy.

We notice the following of the te!e-
graph reports of July 30th
INDIANAPOLIS, July 2oth.-Gov. Nor
ton has authorized the publication of an
official report, made to him by Gen. Car
rington, Military Commander of this Dis
-trict, containing an awful exposition of a
political order a~ntagonistic to the govern
ment, called the "Sons of Liberty"
We now understand why Gen. CAR
RINGToN received the appointment OF
Brig General in the U. S. Army. We
knew he was a shoddg partner of Gov.
D~ENNIsoN. We knew he was principal
contractor for DENNIsoN. with whom he
divided the spoils. In short We under
stood that he was the "cats paw" for Our
Distinguished Ex-Goy. DENNIsoN. But
knowing that he was a LEW WALLACE
style of a man, a bloYiating cowardly
sneak, we were at a loss to know before,
even Ehy SO corrupt an Administration
should SO disgrace the Irregular army"
fheretefore composed of gentlemen)- by
the appointment of SO contemplate a
puppy. But the cat is now out of the
meal tub, Brig. Gen. DARLINGTON has
discovered, and reported the startling fact
to his Abolition master, Gov. MORTON,
that there exists in the State of Indiana
an Order called the aSons of Liberty
We think Gen. CARRINGToN is late in
making tie discovery that there does ex-
list in this land those who may truly be
styled the "Sons of Liberty" those who
stand by the principles of the Constitu-
ton and of the declaration of IndepeH-
dence adopted by the "Sons of Liberty"
of 1776, and we think that the "Sons of
Liberty true to the teachings of their
glorious forefathers will look well and see
that the despot LINCOLN aided by such
contemptible tools as Darlington, Brough,
Morton & Go. do not rob them of the
glorious heritage left them by the "Sons
of Liberty" who were proud to be led by
such a map as GEORGE WASHINGTON.

HARRISBURG, July 31-10 P. NJ.

When General Averill reached Cham
bersburg, the flames had obtained such &
Roadway as to render it impossible for hi:
men to stay them. The word onward ran
along his line.
The rebels hurried over the. Saint
Thomas road toward McConnelsburg, but
the rear of their retreating column could
not fail to distinguish the approach of
Averill, SO they were prevented from com
hitting any deeds of violence.
Averill came laundering after them,
he entered one side of McConnelsville
while the invaders left at the other, there
is no doubt in the minds of our shrewdest
military men.
HARRISBURG, July 80.
Most positive Information has been re-
ceived that Gen. Averill has drawn the
rebels out of Chambersburg; and is fol-
lowing them westward towards London,
Franklin county.
The best part Of Chambersburgh is said
to be in ruins and 5000 people rendered

rebel prisoners that Gen. Breckiuridge is

What Lincoln is Doing.

The man who is most persistently urg
ing the repeal of the $500 Communication
clause in the CONSUMPTION act, is Abraham
Lincoln. Let the working men who are
appealed to, to. vote for Lincoln because
he once split rails, and kept a whisky still,
forget that this working mar is trying to
shape the draft so that they will be COM
PEELED to go into the army, no matter what
may be the condition of their business
and families. Every one knows that the
repeal of the Communication clause will run
substitutes up to an exorbitant figure, and
make the CONSUMPTION bear ten-fold heav-
Ter than ever upon the people. Let the
labering masses remember that the friend
to whom they are indebted for the efforts
to repeal the clause is Old Abe.-Ec-
change.

about to return via the Kanawa valley
1t seems by the statements ofthese pris-
oners, that it is the intention of Gen.
Longstreets to threaten Washington,
while breckenridge makes his raid. In
the meantime Gen. Early is to hold the
Shenandoah Valley. y
A conversation with a gentleman at
tached to one of the newspapers of Cham
~bersburgh, who left there at 8 o'clock
this morning, reveals the following facts.
The people of Chambersburgh received
information yesterday of the approach of
the rebels. At once the merchants and
business men commenced packing up their
stock, and before 10 o'clock last night,
the most valuable merchandise was far
beyond the reach of the rebels.
At l o'clyek this morning a rebel force
of S5 mounted Infantry reached Cham
bersburgh and eneamped on tee Fair
ground.
This force was attacked a short distance
from Mercersburg by a small party Of
troops from Carlisle barracks, who fought
PEELED to withdraw on account of the
overwhelming numbers of the reiders.
The disposition of the rebel forces as
they crossed the Potomac, is described by
our informant as follows One party
moved via Mercersburg. another through
! Waynesboro and the center by Green
Castle.
Gen. Averill is reported as having en-
gagged their center and is said to be falling
back on Chambersburg. If this be SO his
position must be perilous, and he is likely
to be surrounded at any moment should
the rebels leave Chambersburg to neei
him. and those moving from Waynesboro
also join in the assault.
WASHINGTON, July 81.
Information from Gen Sherman repre-
sents affairs to be in the highest degree
satisfactory. Our movement for the past
day or SO have met with no opposition from
the enemy.
CAICAGo' July 81.
The remains of Col. Mulligau arriv-
ed here by a special train tonight.
They were followed to the depot by q
large concourse of citizens, and escorted
to Bryan Hall where they will lay in
state until Tuesday.
BALTIMORE, July 3I-An doubts as to
the good news from Grants army seems
to be removed. A later dispatch Just
received says the assault commenced at
A O'Clock on Saturday morning by a ter
riple explosion, whish completely destroy
ed one of the enemy's principal forts ID
front of Petersburg, containing 16 guns.
This fort was rendered a mass of ruins.
Upon the explosi on our artillery open
ed with one sininlta neous and continuous
roar along our entire line. Up to The
leaving of the mailboat at ten O'Clock, we
had captured 2 other earthworks, and also
the entire outer line OF the rebel intreneh
ments. The battle continued t progress
with the greatest fury.
VERY LATEST.
After the blowing up of the Fort ia
front of Petersburg a general assault was
made by the Federal forces. They sue
ceeded in gaining TWO lines of the enc
my's Entertainments but in ~assaulting a
third, the 6rdue negro troops gave way
exposing the balance of the lines to an
erflading fire. The Confederates rushed
