     Geperel Yoo Herwarth, at present com- 
     
     manding the combined army cw “ps occupying 
     
     Sundewitt, determined, afver completing all 
     
     his preparations the preceding :ught, to cross 
     
     at dawn upon the 29th ult. The passage 
     
     was te be effcted upon 160 boas and 32 pun- 
     
     toona, by the entire arwy corps. at the Satar-

     ond was landed at as many ¢ ferent places 
     
     wpoa the hostile coast opposits to the Fuh- 
     
     Jenkoppel Wood. Lieut. Gen: ral Von Man-

     aft the expedition was entrusted, bad the 
     
     Roder and Gobea Brigades a:der command 
     
     for the day. The Koder Brigade (64th and 
     
     Zirh regiments) and the Bran lenburg Jager 
     
     bettslian Nu. 3 had the advan :ed guard, and 
     
     were fretembarked. Generale Vun Manstein 
     
     and Roder were in the foremost boats of the 
     
     first detachment. When the bvats were 
     
     about two hundred yards dietant from the 
     
     hustile ehore, the first shots « f the enemy's 
     
     outposts blazed at them throuy b the twilight. 
     
     The foree in the boats return: d the fire, and 
     
     replied to the first hail of grape from the

     enewy ‘buck into the Fuhlenkoppel Wood, 
     
     notwithstanding his desperste attempts to 
     
     hold hie rifle-pite. In the meantime, the 
     
     enemy had thrown up fireballs, which, light- 
     
     ing up the entire shore, clearly revealed the 
     
     Peuasjan attack. The boat were rapidly 
     
     rowed to the Schleswig shores. The pon- 
     
     tuonsere of the third and seventh Sattalions 
     
     at the seat of war had been sspecially rein-

     arrivals vied in devotion and aadurance with 
     
     their veteran comrades. Fuvoured by the

     Pressing on victoriously, the Ruder Brigade

     struggle in our feyour. Notwithstanding 
     
     hig obstinate resistance, the enemy was 
     
     driyea trom pagition to position, and shortly 
     
     after siz o'clock the village of Kjar was en- 
     
     tirely in our possession. Toward eight Son-

     Bar, adjutant of Regiment No. 53, a talent- 
     
     ed and promising officer, tell here, shot 
     
     through the heart. From Kekenis the 
     
     xreater part of the defeated enemy is believ- 
     
     ed to have reached his ships. The enemy's 
     
     troops opposite Batieguard, which had been 
     
     retained at that position by a simultaneous 
     
     demonstration, are reported to have embark- 
     
     ked at Norburg after blowing up their en- 
     
     trenchments st mele, the explosion being 
     
     perceptible ut a great distance. The Danes 
     
     also set fire to Sonderburg before their re- 
     
     treat, thus aselessly destroying the town, al- 
     
     ready totally evacuated by the inhabitants. 
     
     The efforts of the Prussian troops which first 
     
     entered, succeeded in extinguishing the con- 
     
     flagration, and alse in preventing further 
     
     damage. The Danes also set fire to their 
     
     large camp of huts near Uikebul}. It is 
     
     known that the enemy, who had at least 12 
     
     battalions of infantry, amounting to between 
     
     10.000 and 12,000 men, upon Alsen, bave 
     
     left upwards of 200 prisoners (among them 
     
     one commander of a regiment and 30 to 40 
     
     other officers), and over 50 cannon, some ol 
     
     them fully horee field guns, with a number 
     
     of vehielee and war material, in the hands

     allowed themselves to be surprised on this 
     
     occasion. The same writer says :— 
     
    

    
     ** The fall vf Alsen has scarce!y created as

     sitting in both Houses of the Imperial Par- 
     
     liament, and quoting Lord Russell and Lord 
     
     Palmerston’s words, decisive as to any hopes 
     
     the Danes might have built on Rogland’s aid. 
     
     The Danish army has given, even yesterday 
     
     at Als, proofs ot the very sterling stuff it is

     ness of being left alone in so unfair a field. 
     
     There is something appalling in the contem- 
     
     plation of the calam:ties which are impend- 
     
     ing en this till lately so happy Danish 
     
     community. The Germans came upon Als

     will be good enough to send me a thousand 
     
     pounds, Messrs. Duncan and Sherman will 
     
     place ten thousand and odd dollars to my 
     
     leredit; but the price of every article of con- 
     
     !gamption will at once rise twenty-five per | 
     
     cent. Persons in business laugh with forced 
     
     hilarity at this unnatural state of things. 
     
     They are making more greenbacks than ever, 
     
     and can afford te pay bigh prices for what 
     
     they eat and drink, and should, but do not 
     
     avoid. But persons who sre not in business, 
     
     persons with settled incomes, persons whose 
     
     revenues are derived from dividends on stocks, 
     
     from interest on capital pat out at mortgage, 
     
     from ren‘s of houses and furms, and the like, 
     
     are driven almost to despair by the hopeless- 
     
     ly anarchial condition of the faances which 
     
     we owe to Mr. Sulwon P. Chase. They. re- 
     
     ceive, of courae, their income in curcency ; 
     
     they are unnble to raise their tenants’ rent 
     
     or to inerexse the interest due to them; and 
     
     families who were once able to live in com- 
     
     fort on an income, say, of five thousand dol- 
     
     lare a year, now find it worth only two 
     
     thousand five hundred, and are pinched and 
     
     hampered. Whatis ital] comingto? Where

     ean no more tell you with certainty than the 
     
     schoolboy puzziing his head over his first 
     
     equation. From official sources it has been 
     
     ascertained that the public debt of the United 
     
    
   
   
    
     indebtedness, legul-tender notes,and fractional 
     
     currency, now amounts to one thousand seven 
     
     hundred and twenty-nine millions of dollars, 
     
     But from unofficial sources one learns that 
     
     the actual amount owed by the Federal Go- 
     
     veroment ismuch vaster. Millions of dullars | 
     
     worth of eluims, millions of doliars worth of 
     
     liabilities, not yet ascertained, have accrued, 
     
     are accruing, and willaccrue. Willi the debt

     THE WAR IN THE SPATE. 
     
    
   
   
    
     THE MARYLAND INVASION. 
     
    

    
     The excitement vecasioned by the recent Con- 
     
     federate raid in Maryland has subsided, and of 
     
     the circumstances attending this invasion, the 
     
     New York Herald says:— 
     
    

    
     “The disappearance of the rebel forces parti- 
     
     cipating in the late grand raid into Maryland 
     
     has been as mysterious as their overwhelming 
     
     visitation, Sweeping carelessly over the breadth 
     
     of the State betweeu the Potomac river and the 
     
     Susquehanna, and descending simultaneously to 
     
     the suburbs of Baltimore and Washington, they 
     
     have moved from point to point with impunity, 
     
     and have departed without interruption, carrying 
     
     with them untold quantities of plunder, and leav- 
     
     ing us still, te a great extent, in ignorance of 
     
     their numbers and wherce they all came, and 
     
     whither they have gone. Of all the disgraceful 
     
     episodes of the war in the aeighborhood of Wash- 
     
     ington, this, we doubt not, will be set down by 
     
     the future biatorian as the most inexcusable and 
     
     shameful to the Administration at Washington.” 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     THE SITUATION. 
     
    

    
     The Richmond papers adinit indirectly that the 
     
     fall of Atlanta is certain. Lhe Despatch of the 
     
     15th says that a portion of our forces are on the 
     
     south side of the Chattahoochie, eight wiles above 
     
     the railroad bridge; that General Sherman's head 
     
     quarters are at Vining Station. The Atlanta 
     
     Confederacy says that the city is in imminent 
     
     danger, and that if Johnston cannot detend it on 
     
     the Chattabvochie, he cannot do so at any other 
     
     puint, and therefore it may be purposely thrown 
     
     at the feet of the rapacious invaders to stay their 
     
     appetite for conquest. 
     
    

    
     The news from Mississippi is exciting. A se- 
     
     vere fight near Jackson, the capital of Mississippi, 
     
     took place on the Sth instant, which resulted in 
     
     the defeat of the enemy. It appears that our 
     
     furces moved from Black River on the morning 
     
     uf the third instant, under enmmand of General 
     
     Dennis. General Slocum joined the expedition 
     
     at Champion Hills. The whole foree numbered 
     
     lesa than three thousand. The enemy were not 
     
     encountered in any considerable force until the 
     
     5th instant, when they were found strongly 
     
     posted on the east bauk of a creek three miles 
     
     this side of Jackson. 
     
    

    
     A flanking toree under Colonel Coates, of the 
     
     eleventh Lilinoia, compelled the rebels to abandon 
     
     their position, and our forces occupied Jackson 
     
     that night. The enemy attacked our advance in 
     
     strong force; but they were driven back the next 
     
     werning. Our rear guard was again assaulted 
     
     near Clinton; but the rebels were again repulsed, 
     
     and the grouad strewa with their dead and 
     
     wounded. Our total loss was less than one hun- 
     
     dred killed and fifty wounded. We captured 
     
     thirty or forty prisoners. 
     
    
   
   
    
     THE CAMPAIGN IN VIRGINIA. 
     
     Special Washington despatches contain the fol- 
     
     lowing intelligence from the army of the Potomac 
     
    
   
   
    
     “The rebels opened on the morning of the 15th 
     
     on our right, with heavy guns, which were replied 
     
     tu effectively by Gen. Swith’s batteries. Gen. 
     
     Burnside’s batteries were engaged during the 
     
     morning, and the firing for a short time was very 
     
     severe, but without auy important result beyond 
     
     the temporary retirement of the rebels from their | 
     
     guns. Some pieces of the rebel batteries were 
     
     said to have been dismounted by our fire.

     AMERICA LIN THE MiDst OF WAR. 
     
    
   
   
    
     LIFE IN AMERICAN CITIES. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Mr. Sala, tne special commissioner of the 
     
     Daily Telegraph, was at Boston when he 
     
     wrote his last letter, and in it he gives some 
     
     ideas of the prices commanded in the great 
     
     cities of the North : 
     
    

    
     ** It is quite true that when you receive & 
     
     remittance from England, and change it inte 
     
     the United States currency, you feel fog a- 
     
     bout half an hour as though you were in the 
     
     possession of fabulous wealth. You give the 
     
     waiter at Delmonico’s a dellar, and think 
     
     nothing of paying five-and-twenty cents to 
     
     have your bouts blacked. But there comes, 
     
     very speedily, a change over the spirit of 
     
     your dream. When you discover that a 
     
     drive in a barouche in the Central-park 
     
     costs you six dullars ; that the bootmaker has 
     
     sent in his little bill muleting you in six-and- 
     
     twenty dollars fur two pairs of superior cali 
     
     with elastic sides ; that a lady's bonnet, of 
     
     the very plainest and moJestest deseription i» 
     
     considered cheap at twenty dullars ; that the 
     
     tailor wants from sixty to seventy fora frock- 
     
     cvat; that a pint bottle of Allsopp is fifty 
     
     cents, a plate of lobster salad and a half a 
     
     bottle of Chablis four dollars; and almust 
     
     every other article of consumption at an 
     
     equally ruinous tariff, your fabulous riches 
     
     shrink to a pauper's stipend, and you feel 
     
     very much as though the United States cur- 
     
     reney, into which yoer brave English ster!- 
     
     ing had been changed, were on a par—if 
     
     greenbacks could ever know such a thing as 
     
     par—with the dry leaves into which the ma- 
     
     gician in the Arabian tale turned the sequins 
     
     and besants. A natural rejoinder to this 
     
     complaint would be : ** Economise. Don’t 
     
     drive in barouvhes. Dispense with lobster 
     
     salad and Chablis. Turn your back upon 
     
     bonnets. Wear out your old clothes, or have 
     
     them sent out to you from England? Yes, 
     
     it is practicable to economise. It is possible 
     
     to live in a fifth rate hotel, at two dollars 
     
     and » half aday, where you can have a 
     
     bedroom sot much bigger and certainly noe 
     
     so comfortable as a ceil in the penitentiary.

     after the fashion of a wild beast. Lt is fea-

     where the ‘help,’ if you do not rise at eight

     that you * eens in bed all day;’ where 
     
     you will live likea pig and besurrounded by ac-

     berries to render the udour of their morning 
     
     and afternova’s liquoring up imperceptible to 
     
     the ladies at table. . Son und you 
     
     may procure your clothes from England — a 
     
     wise precaution it would appear, when for a 
     
     shouting suit of shrunken tweed such as you 
     
     would give three pound ten fur at home, a 
     
     Broadway tailor will demand from eighty to 
     
     one handred dollars. I tried that little de- 
     
     vice the other day. I wrote home for some 
     
     summer trousers and waistcuate, and in due 
     
     time there urrived for me, per City of Man- 
     
     chester steamer, & symmetrical packing-case 
     
     containing the desired garments, the value 
     
     of which the London tailur bad appraised at 
     
     nineteen pounds sterling. I bad to clear

     after went to Julia Krapf's lodging and found 
     
     her still living and all the children dead 
     
     When arrested znd broaght to trial, the un- 
     
     fortunate woman, with tears streaming down 
     
     her cheeke, said she could not regret what 
     
     she had done, because it was more merciful 
     
     to kill her chhildren than let them endure 
     
     the pangs of dying starvation. A verdict of 
     
     Guilty, with extenuating cirenmstances, was, 
     
     of course, returned, and when the accused was 
     
     condemped to five years of penal servitude, 
     
     the jury signed a protest against the sentence.

     The San Franciseo Alia California gives 
     
     the following accountolastrangely constituted 
     
     wager. About twelve months ago, two gen- 
     
     | tlemen of that city agreed to the following 
     
     | conditions: —*+ If the Federal forces did not 
     
     capture Richmond within thirty days from 
     
     that date, he was to give his opponent a 
     
     single sound eatable apple; if Richmond 
     
     held out sixty days he was to give him two 
     
     apples, and so on, doubling the number for 
     
     each month until Richmond is taken—to 
     
     the end of time, if that event did not oceur 
     
     before. Nine months bave passed since the 
     
     first apple was handed over, and the list of 
     
     apples delivered at the end of the successive 
     
     months is ag follows: 1, 2,4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 
     
     128, 256—total 512. Thus far, it is all a 
     
     good joke, and the loser has paid the forfeita 
     
     a with a good grace, but yesterday 
     
     it ruined a $10 picce to meet the demand; 
     
     apples are 15 to 20 cents per pound, and it 
     
     tovk a fifty pound box. Should Richmond 
     
     be taken within the present month, he would 
     
     get back all the apples he has lost and one 
     
     more, which, as the price will then be at the 
     
     very highest notch, would make him more 
     
     than even; but, should it hold outa year 
     
     longer, and he continue to pay his losses, his 
     
     last payment would cost him $40,960, and 
     
     he would be $81,900 out: in three months 
     
     more he would be out $686,340; and should 
     
     the war last from this date as much longer 
     
     as it haa already lasted sinee its commence- 
     
     tent, no nation on earth could begin to meet 
     
     the terms of the wager, even allowing it to 
     
     be reduced to a cash basis, and the payments 
     
     to be made in greenbacks.’’

     A Srrance Dre: —A teugical event has 
     
     just taken place at Heidelberg, and caused a 
     
     great sensation among the persons connected 
     
     with the university inthatcity. Latein the 
     
     evening of the 1th, a etudent belonging to 
     
     the body of the Swabians waa found lying on 
     
     the ground weltering in his blood. He had 
     
     discharzed a pistol in the region of the heart, 
     
     but the ball having been turned aside by 
     
     touching a rib, missed the heart, passed 
     
     through the lungs and lodged under the right 
     
     shoulder blade, from whence it was after- 
     
     wards extracted. At first, the natural be- 
     
     liet was that voluntary suicide had been 
     
     intended, but some letters which had been 
     
     written by the student showed that he bad 
     
     heen the yictim of a shamefu! kind of a duel. 
     
     A foreign student had been grossly insulted 
     
     by the Swabian, and eatisfaction was demand- 
     
     ed; but inetead of fighting in the usual way 
     
     an agreement was come to, to draw lots 
     
     which should destroy himself within a delay 
     
     of a tortnight. The lot fell on the Swabian. 
     
     When the time was about to expire, the 
     
     yoang wan, whose father was dangerously 
     
     ill, solicited an extension of the delay, but 
     
     the request was refused, and the attempt at 
     
     self-destruction was consequently made. 
     
     Some hopes are entertained that the wound 
     
     will not prove fatal, but all the entreaties of 
     
     the heads of the university and his friends 
     
     cannot extort from him a promise not to re- 
     
     peat the desperate act. To all their solici-

     Sr. Lovis, July 19.—The Union publishes an 
     
     extract tron a private letter dated New Orleans, 
     
     7th, which says—Last night a staff officer told 
     
     me that 15,000 men would start in ocean steam- 
     
     ers to-day. ‘They take 15 days rations aud am- 
     
     munition. There are new a large number of ad- 
     
     ditional gunbuats in Lake Pencbartrain, aud 
     
     more vessels have been added to the fleet of Mo- 
     
     bile. Some think the expedition is for the cap- 
     
     ture of Mobile, se as te possess the Alabama 
     
     River and establish a base of supplies for Sher- 
     
     man at Sela, while others believe the troops are 
     
     destined for Fortress Munroe’ This foree may 
     
     be designed to eo operate with Slocum's expedi- 
     
     tion from Vieksburg. 
     
    

    
     The rebel accounts of Slocuin’s expedition to 
     
     Jackson, Miss., claim that the Federal columa 
     
     under Elliot was attacked at the junction of the 
     
     Port Hudson and Redney road on the Sth, and 
     
     repulsed with great slaughter. The roads for 
     
     miles were strewn with dead negroes, horses, 
     
     guns, &e. This doubtless refers to the expedi- 
     
     tion cousisting of a marine brigade of two color- 
     
     ed regimente, which marched from Rodney on 
     
     the 4th and were attacked by five brigades ot 
     
     rebel cavalry aud one of infantry. After fighting 
     
     nearly all day the rebela were driven off, and our 
     
     troops returned to their boats. Our luss was 150 
     
     killed, wounded and missing. 
     
    

    
     It has been a matter of surprise with some 
     
     that gold should have fallen at the time of the 
     
     Confederate raid into Maryland. The New York 
     
     Daily News turnishes the tollowing no doubt 
     
     truthful explanation of the matter. It says:— 
     
     “The tact that, after three years’ of hostilities, 
     
     taxing the utmost reaenrces of the Federal Goy- 
     
     ernment, the Confederates are able to invade the 
     
     North and threaten the Federal Capital, has m- 
     
     pressed our money dealers with the conviction 
     
     that the war is a failure, that the appeal te arma 
     
     must be relinquished, and that peace is at hand, 
     
     It is this prospect of an approaching peace that 
     
     has favorably influenced the price of greenbacks. 
     
     despite of the startling intelligence trom Mary-

     We perceive from ne papers that the 
     
     people all along the r are on the alert for 
     
     “ bluenoses,” rebels, raiders, and we judge 
     
     from the extensive preparations that have been 
     
     made that there is new ps little chance of a sue- 
     
     cessful inroad in that direction as there is of the

     tumble hees in haying time, and the whole popu- 
     
     lation, supported by a corps of tax-gatherera and 
     
     substitute brokers, formed a powerful reserve 
     
     toree. Cannon bristled along the frontier, and 
     
     batteries arwed by vigilant coast guards protect-

     despatched from New York to repel attacks. 
     
     evertheless, with such available detexces at 
     
     hand, the alarm did not subside. The sight of

     tilence were in the air. His sagacious mind 
     
     traced the origin of the excitement to the St. 
     
     John TeceeGrarn, and having thus satisfied him- 
     
     self, he penned the following paragraph: 
     
    

    
     “ Our city was yesterday rife with rumors of 
     
     a formidable raid from the British Provinces.— 
     
     Report bas it that the Governor received infor- 
     
     mation from the U. 8. Consul at St. John, N. B., 
     
     that a large force of Southerners and Southern 
     
     sympathizers had left that port in vessels with 
     
     the intention of making a demonstration some- 
     
     where upon our coast. The force is variously 
     
     reported at from five to fifteen hundred, The 
     
     information was despatched to all the principal 
     
     points along the coast, and the military and peo- 
     
     ple are well prepared to welcome the raiders 
     
     “with bloody hands te hospital graves.” 
     
    

    
     We look upon the matter as a “scare,” and 
     
     think the Consul has been sold; perbaps by the 
     
     St. Jobn Telegraph, o paper of Southern syunpa- 
     
     thies, which published an editorial hinting that 
     
     two steamers in St. John, which were built in 
     
     New York for the China trade aud weut there for 
     
     English registers, were intended fur the use of the 
     
     Confederates. Mr. Englis, the builder and part 
     
     owner of the steamers, was in town yesterday, 
     
     and says that the suspicions alluded to by the 
     
     Telegraph were utterly without foundation. The 
     
     boats are surely to proceed to China for legitimate 
     
     commercial purposes. 
     
    

    
     Another aud more reliable report says the raid 
     
     is expected trom the border by land. 
     
    

    
     But the raid from New Branewick was nos all 
     
     that alarmed the tind tribesof Maine. The poor 
     
     old Chesapsake—the same that figured i our 
     
     waters last winter—was destined once more to 
     
     figure in piratical history. If the following be 
     
     true, she has had another narrow escape trom 
     
     provincial profanation. We clip the statement 
     
     at we fiud it, from the Portland Advertiser. It 
     
     says:— 
     
    

    
     “ We learn that on the last trip of the Chesa- 
     
     peake from New York these were grave suspicions 
     
     that an attempt would be made to take the vessel. 
     
     As we are informed, some fiity persons, apparent- 
     
     ly provincials, came on board just before leaving. 
     
     Soon after the steamer left these suspicions were 
     
     confirmed. Asthe party were below, a guard was 
     
     stationed at the companion way with revolvers, 
     
     and but two of them were allowed to cowe on 
     
     deck. When off Nantucket a suspicious looking 
     
     steamer was discovered laying to, apparently 
     
     waiting for her. She was supposed to be the 
     
     Florida. The Chesapeake immediately altered 
     
     her course for New York, and the suspicious craft 
     
     at once put to sea. The former then shaped her 
     
     course for Portland, where she sufely arrived.” 
     
    

    
     The lover of peace, fraternity, and good order, 
     
     will congratulate the good folky of Maine that 
     
     they have so fortunately escaped these many 
     
     threatened evils, and that the apprehended raid 
     
     by land and sea bad dwindled to a mere parade 
     
     of the Maine wilitia, and the capture of three 
     
     suspected bank rubbers.

     day amounts to $1,795,203,560.04. This is an 
     
     increase of about $56,000,000 siuee June 28, and 
     
     of only $169,767.60 during the past week. The 
     
     amount of fractional currency is increased a little 
     
     short of $300,000 within the same time, while 
     
     that portion of debt bearing uo interest has de- 
     
     creased over $21,000,000. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     An American exchange relates the following 
     
     affecting incident:— Two officers wounded in 
     
     the battle of the 20th before Petersburg, were 
     
     going home last Friday by the Erie route. When 
     
     the train neared Oswego, a well dressed lady, ac- 
     
     companied by a child and a gentleman, entered 
     
     the car and touk seats in front of them. As the 
     
     officers talked over the recent engagements at 
     
     Petersburg, informing each other of various ac- 
     
     quaintances who had fallen, one remarked, there 
     
     was Capt. Warwick, of the 109th New York, as 
     
     brate a fellow as ever lived; he was shot througt 
     
     the head aud instantly killed ‘The lady inmedi- 
     
     ately sprang from ber seat, and exclaimed, “Ob! 
     
     dou’t say that, he was my husband!” and then 
     
     burst inte an agony of tears. This was the first 
     
     intelligence she had received of her husband's 
     
     death. ‘The child with her was his daughter, and 
     
     the gentleman his brother. There were very 
     
     few dry eyes in that car during the rest of the 
     
     journey tu Elmira.

     CITY LANDINGS. 
     
     Mr. Wuetan :— 
     
    

    
     Sirx,—On Tuesday next our Civic elections 
     
     are designed to come off, but it js very likely the 
     
     annual apathy will prevail, and we shall have no 
     
     chauge worth speaking of; but that a change is 
     
     decidedly necessary, is becoming every day wore 
     
     vbvious, if it were for ouly one object, viz: our 
     
     City landings! Will you believe it, sir, that since 
     
     the present Civic Governwent have been in office 
     
     oue thoroughfare to the river hax been completely 
     
     destroyed, and anotber bids fair svun to be the 
     
     same? Let me show you—At the foot of Wey- 
     
     mouth Street, where hundreds of people went on 
     
     and came from the ice during tae winter, there 
     
     has been a breastwork built completely across 
     
     that street, and the svil of Hillsborough Square 
     
     (which is now required to level and improve it) 
     
     was taken to that breastwork to improve Mr. 
     
     Gidley’s property! A year or two siuce a slice 
     
     was taken off the west side of the public landing 
     
     at the fuot of Great Geurge Street to improve the 
     
     properties of Juhn Ings and the estate of the late 
     
     James Peake, by euntinuing a lane through the 
     
     latter called * Peake Street,’’ and now the east 
     
     side of the same landing is having a strip taken 
     
     up of some 6 to 15 feet wide and some 100 feet 
     
     long to enhance the value of the Steamboat Com- 
     
     pany’s premises! And why is this? Does not 
     
     that Company get enough out of the public funds 
     
     tor their boats without trittering away the city pro- 
     
     perty to add to their aggrandisement? What 
     
     aunuity will they pay to the City for this usurpa- 
     
     tion ? In whose hands is the care of our public 
     
     landings, the police, the city surveyor, the street 
     
     committee, the wayor, the goverament —in no- 
     
     body’s or iu everybody's? Thousands of persons 
     
     ave in the babit of passing on and off the ice at 
     
     the foot of that street every winter, who will 
     
     svon be debarred that privilege if the present 
     
     City Couucil are continued iu office, for if the 
     
     proprietors on each side of it put their heads to- 
     
     gether to continue *‘ Peake Street” on to the 
     
     Steawboat Whart, a breastwork will be thrown 
     
     across the Janding, and a lawsuit will then ac- 
     
     crue to the City to get back its own property or 
     
     lose it altogether. Then why do not the proper 
     
     authorities stop this public trespass? Now is the 
     
     time. With respect to the encroachment under 
     
     remark, we may be told that “ the entrance to 
     
     the Steamboat Whart is teo narrow and some- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ”y 
     
    
   
   
    
     But the entrance to that whart is no mere con- 
     
     tracted now than before the Steamboat Company 
     
     bought it. Then why not the Company move 
     
     sume of their old shauties that arein the way and 
     
     of no ornament, and take their own land tor their 
     
     cwn benefit, instead of encroaching on the city 
     
     landings? What improvement or benefit will 
     
     the City obtain by it? Men of honour would not 
     
     be guilty ofencroachment; then why should any- 
     
     body? nor would it be allowed if we had a set of 
     
     City Fathers who took any interest in the City; 
     
     but so long as a Council ure continued in office 
     
     year after year, as if they alone, of all the inhabi- 
     
     tants of Charlottetown, were the “ only fit and 
     
     proper” persons to do its business, matters will 
     
     go ou from bad te worse, and our children and 
     
     grand-children will suffer through the present 
     
     impropriety. If our city authorities will do their 
     
     duty for once, let thew put a stop immediately to 
     
     the encroachment referred te, no matter what 
     
     excuse the Steamboat Company or anybody else 
     
     may make for the aggression, for if they suffer 
     
     the job to progress to completion, the Company 
     
     will snap their fingers in the City’s face, and dare 
     
     them to take it from them without a lawsuit! 
     
     Would any of the City Council quietly suffer en- 
     
     croachmwent on their private property to benefit their 
     
     neighbor? Then why should they suffer any to 
     
     be made on the public property in their keeping 
     
     and under their control? They are all-powerful 
     
     to prevent it; then let them use that power with- 
     
    
   
   
    
     out delay. Yours,

     EAST POINT TEA PARTY. 
     
    

    
     Tur Tea Parry, held at Priest Pond, Lot 
     
     17, East Point, on Thursday last, was 9 ye 
     
     brilliant and suecessfal affair. Although - 
     
    

    
     eh the 
     
     weather was exceedingly warm, the attendance 
     
     was very numerous, every section and settlement 
     
     in King’s County being well represented. The 
     
     tables, which were ereeted in a Spacious field 
     
     under suitable awnings, were abuudantly aup- 
     
     plied with all the delicacies usually ea 
     
     such occasions — and the good things they con- 
     
     tained were dispensed by fair ladies whose charme 
     
     would adorn any circle or society. The Char. 
     
     lottetown Amateur Band was in attendance, ang 
     
     enlivened the occasion by their excellent playing ; 
     
     while in several booths erected for the parposs 
     
     might be heard the music of the violin, and the 
     
     wore soul-stirring and national melody of the 
     
     bagpipes, whici affurded abundant enjoyment to 
     
     the lovers of the dance, despite the heat of the wea- 
     
     ther. The Tea Party having been got up to aid ig 
     
     the improvement of the Church of St. Columba— 
     
     which haa been entrusted to the pious and ef~ 
     
     feetive care of the Rev. Dougald MeDonald—way 
     
     honoured by the presence of his Lordship the 
     
     Bishop of Charlottetown, and several of bis clergy, 
     
     At the close of the day’s entertsirment, hig 
     
     Lordship expressed, in au earvest and excellent 
     
     speech, the great pleasure he enjoyed at the 
     
     happy, harmonious, and successful mannes 
     
     in which the party was conducted; and 
     
     evinced no small gratification at the eneou 
     
     ragement which was given to it by many of the 
     
     most respectable and influential Protestants 
     
     throughout the County, whe had been always, he 
     
     was happy to say, living on the closest terms of 
     
     intimacy with their Catholic neighbours. Hon. 
     
     Mr. Beaton, whose services were indefstigable 
     
     aad invaluable throughout the whole day, acting 
     
     as general Superintendant in every branch of the 
     
     entertaininent—aiso addressed the assemblage, 
     
     and contributed largely to the funds by hia inex- 
     
     haustible humour and energy in performing the 
     
     part of auctioneer in selling the immense piles of 
     
     beautiful Cake prepared for the party. Other 
     
     gentlemen—amongst whom were Mr. Reilly of 
     
     the } indicator, and Mr. Whelan of the Examiner 
     
     —also addressed the assemblage in terms eulo- 
     
     gistie of the event and of the spirit which charac- 
     
     terised it, from the opening to the close. It waa, 
     
     indeed, a very pleasant party, in which all deno- 
     
     minations seemed to take a great delight in par- 
     
     ticipating, and was highly successful ina financial 
     
     point of view, having realized, we are informed, 
     
     more than two hundred pounds.

     WAR NEWS. 
     
     Although the news concerning the Confederate 
     
     invasion of Maryland is being suppressed by the 
     
     President, enough has Jeaked out to show that it 
     
     is likely to be formidable.

     ment, saying that Gen. Averill had been killed, 
     
     and that Early’s force in the Valley of Virginia

     truit to be seen, and the wheat, oaf, and barley 
     
     crops presented avery poor appearance up to 
     
     last Sunday, when the refreshiug raius then and 
     
     aince have caused drooping shoots to look more 
     
     luxuriantly. 
     
    

    
     The Huron Signal saya: —The dronght is be- | 
     
     coming daily niore alarming. 
     
     thoroughly seaked with ruin late in the spring 
     
     that the present uninterrupted dry weather bas 
     
     baked up hard, and very soon, we greatly fear, 
     
     the xpring wheat, upon which so much depeudence 
     
     is placed, wiil be beyond redemption. Tue tall 
     
     wheat stands the drought better, aud sume places 
     
     promises a fair yieid. Turuips and other late 
     
     crops are, of course, out of the question, unless we 
     
     have rain very soon.” 
     
    

    
     The Waterloo Chronicle says:—“ In this imme- 
     
     diate vicinity we lave had ne rain for the last five 
     
     weeks. For the last few weeks the weather has 
     
     also been extremely hot, so that the earth has be- 
     
     come as dry as ashes tor a good distance below 
     
     the surface of the ground. The result is that the 
     
     hay crop will be very nearly a total failure, and 
     
     the spring crops dv not promise much better, 
     
     Oats and spring wheat make a very pour appear- 
     
     ance here.” 
     
    

    
     A correspondent writing to us from the town- 
     
     ship of Norwich, County of Oxford, says that the 
     
     want of rain in that neighbourhood bas done se- 
     
     rivus injury to the spring crops. Barley 1 head- 
     
     ing out, but very short, aud the spring wheat is 
     
     alsv reported to be stunted aud sickly looking. 
     
     Late sown peas and vats also Jook anything but 
     
     promising. Fall wheat on the contrary has won- 
     
     derfully improved recently, and it is thoaght that 
     
     if it eseapes the midge and the rust it will bea 
     
     fair average crop. Tbe meadows are light, and 
     
     cannot be expected to improve much till the hay- 
     
     making season sets in.

     Frederick Klinckeman, who lives near Mr. 
     
     Schuerman’s tannery, en the Bridgport road, 
     
     about a mile and a half from Waterloo, was en- 
     
     gaged in tearing down an old barn. By some 
     
     means or other he slipped and fell, and, horrible 
     
     to relate, broke his neck. One would have sup- 
     
     posed that instantaneous death would have been 
     
     the consequence, but such was not the case, 
     
     while the whole of the body below the head was 
     
     deprived of feeling, being in a manner dead, the 
     
     head itself is alive, being in full consciousness, and 
     
     the man beiug able tu see, hear and speak. It is, 
     
     of course, lnpossible that the unfortunate man 
     
     should recover, but it is impossible to say how 
     
     long he may remain in his present awful state 
     
     until death steps in to his relief.— Waterloo Chro-

     kind expressions and wishes for my future wei 
     
     fare contained in the address you have so be- 
     
     nignly presented me. It is very gratify ing to me 
     
     to kitow that my feeble efforts in the humble ca- 
     
     pacity of tutoresa have been appreciated, and 
     
     permit me to assure you that the regret you ex- 
     
     press for our separation is not without its reci- 
     
     procal feeling on my part. Your warm and 
     
     generous hearts have led you to over-estimate 
     
     my humble labour 
     
    

    
     My dear friends, I cannet accept those very 
     
     adulatory terms in which you speak ef the dis- 
     
     charge of my duties while with you. I know too 
     
     well that I have not merited them: they are en- 
     
    
   
   
    
     panies. The Leagues are aleo activeiy engaged 
     
    
   
   
    
     in perfecting their military organization,

     following special despateh :— 
     
    

    
     Wasninctron, July 27.—A gentleman jost ar- 
     
     rived bere iniorms me that Harper's Ferry has 
     
     been evacuated by our forces, and that the rebels 
     
     have their line of skirmishers oat about four miles 
     
     distant from that place. “Le caunot give an este 
     
     mate of the number of rebels, bul states that they 
     
     are in large force, alao that there was more or 
     
     less ighting on Sunday between Martiuebury and 
     
     Williamsport, and our forces fell back sullenly aud 
     
     resolutely.” 
     
    

    
     A Richmord paper of the 22nd says :—* The 
     
     Federal forces were defeated at Snicker’s Gap- 
     
     by Earley, and that the latter took a number of 
     
     prisoners.” 
     
    

    
     In reference to the invasion the Beaton Post 
     
     says :—" The fact is, that the Federal force under 
     
     Averill, Crook and Mulligan wae defeated on San- 
     
     dar, Martinsburg was again occupied, and the re- 
     
     bels are adyaneing towards Harper's Ferry. To: 
     
     put the matter just as it is, the rebels appear to- 
     
     use the Valley of the Shenandvah at their plea- 
     
     sure, as though it was a passage way and they. 
     
     had commen rights in at. In the nawe of all that 
     
     belongs tu the country, how long are thie patriotic 
     
     people to be gulled by the humiliating adminis 
     
     tration imbecility that permits this te be done!” 
     
    

    
     The New York Herald says: 
     
    

    
     “ We expect soun to hear that Gen, Joe John- 
     
     ston hax been appointed to an important com- 
     
     mand in Virginia, and next he will probably be 
     
     reported as advancing upon the Maryland border, 
     
     with an army—including sume of his Georgia ve- 
     
     terans—amounting to fifty or sixty thousand men. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     tirely to be attributed te that great kindness 
     
     with which you have ever treated we. 
     
    

    
     In resigning my situation, | would earnestly 
     
     recommend it to any Teacher who is able and 
     
     desirous of performing his or ber duty, I ean 
     
     safely say that in that district the Teacher will 
     
     find clever, warm-hearted, and generous inhabi- 
     
     tante, who will neither disturb ner annoy hit by 
     
     any meana, as well aa kind and obedient pupils, 
     
     whe are ever ready and willing at a werd trem 
     
     the one whose charge they are. 
     
    

    
     I beg to offer you again my sincere thanks for 
     
     your goodness towards me, and have to say that 
     
     in Whatever locality my future residence may be, 
     
     I shall ever bear in mind the good people of Kil- 
     
     dure with the most pleasing reminiscences of the 
     
     many happy, happy days [ spent among you, 
     
     while, at the same time, it shall greatly alleviate

     HOTEL. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Tue Islander continues its efforts to draw 
     
     public attention to tie necessity of establishing an 
     
     Hotel in this city. Since the Steamboat Com- 
     
     pany was subsidized largely by the Government, 
     
     several of whose shareholders are members of the 
     
     Executive Council — since the wharf, formerly 
     
     owned by the late Mr. Reddin, was bought by 
     
     one of the Company, and is now used for the 
     
     landing of freight and passengers from the 
     
     Steamers, the desire felt by the people of the 
     
     Islander fur the erection of an Hotel ,'s singularly 
     
     great. The site which they desire is just at the 
     
     head of Pope’s wharf. The editor of the Islander 
     
     would be extremely glad to enhance the value of 
     
     that property. for his own sake and for his 
     
     brother’s—the proprietor of the Islander is cer- 
     
     tainly not free frow a selfish feeling oy the same 
     
     matter, because Ais property is just at the head of 
     
     the Steamboat wharf, and would, no doubt, be 
     
     enhanced in value by the erection of gu Hotel. 
     
     We have, at least, one dozen first class Hotele 
     
     and’ Boarding Houses in this city, capable of ac- 
     
    
   
   
    
     Is the administration prepared for such a visit on 
     
     the track of Early and Breckinridge? This iw a 
     
     question which President Lincoln ought to be 
     
     able to answer; and yet, from all accounts, rt ap- 
     
     pears that Washington is as feebly garrisoned to- 
     
     day as it was a fortnight ago.” 
     
    

    
     In reterence to the same matter, “ Malcolm,” 
     
     the able Washington correspondent of the New 
     
     York Daily News, says: 
     
    

    
     “There is every reason to believe that the 
     
     events of the next few weeks will demonstrate 
     
     that the wilitary power of the Southern States 
     
     was never more effective than at present. At all 
     
     events, it is known that the Contederates are a8 
     
     confident that beth Grant and Sherman will be 
     
     defeated, that they are looking forward to an ne- 
     
     tive offensive campaign against the North, te be 
     
     carried on by ermics amounting to 150,000 of 
     
     200,000 men. The p tions for this caim- 
     
     paign are completed, and it will soon be com- 
     
     menced. If it results in the capture of Washing- 
     
     ington, Baltimore and Harrisburg, and these are 
     
     said to be the objects which the rebel leaders 
     
     have in view, Mr. Lincoln may have leinure to re 
     
     pent of his arrogant demand that the South shall 
     
     emancipate all their slaves as a conditiva prece 
     
     dent even to negotiations fur peace. But bia re 
     
     peutance will then come tov late.”

     week and next by a visit from 100 or 150 members
