We give below a summary of the news it contains: The capture of the Eighth South Carolina regiment. Sheridan announced to Stanton the capture of a whole regiment on the 13th. From the following telegram to the Herald it will be seen the whole regiment, even according to Yankee statement, is only "about two hundred men." When the facts come to be known, it will be ascertained that the Yankees did not take one hundred men: Harper's Ferry, September 14.--The rebel regiment captured by our troops day before yesterday is the Eighth South Carolina regiment, of General Longstreet's corps. It numbers about two hundred men, and comprises members of some of the first families of the Palmetto State. The men were well and comfortably clad, and their physical appearance does not indicate that they were living on half rations. They represent

The account of their discovery is given in the Chronicle of the 8th instant, which adds: "The discovery of these concealed weapons will perhaps open the eyes of some to the real intentions of our pretended peace-loving friends. It is stated that eighteen hundred or two thousand Enfields have been distributed about New Hampshire for the use of these precious peace-makers !" The gold market. The Herald gives the following about the gold market: The gold market to-day showed symptoms of that weakening which will be more fully apparent next week.

Rumors now flew thick and fast, and some of the boys who are fond of the "skedaddle excitement" circulated the report that the rebels had succeeded in crossing the river at Williamsport, and were marching on Hagerstown. The stores were then immediately closed, and the Union citizens were to be seen rushing wildly around, with carpet-bags in hand, eager to obtain some means of conveyance to get out of town. Omnibuses, stages, carriages, buggies and wagons were soon on the road to Pennsylvania, all loaded down with live freight. In almost less time than it takes to-write this paragraph, the town was left in possession of a few Union cavalrymen and several newspaper correspondents. Grant's Earthworks around Petersburg. A correspondent of the Springfield (Massachusetts) Republican gives the following description of the works constructed by Grant's army around Petersburg: After all the descriptions given of this battle centre, there are probably few at the North wh

There is a long line of low rifle-pits for our advanced videttes. Back of these, there is a stronger line of embankments before a wide trench for the picket reserve. There are bomb-proofs — huge hemispherical heaps of earth and logs like a New England potato-cellar — in the outer line, for the videttes to crawl into when shelled by the enemy. There are bomb-proofs in the second line for the pickets. There is a large bomb-proof for the picket headquarters; I write from that. There are covered ways — long trenches to protect passing soldiers from rifle bullets — from the vidette-pits to the reserve, and from the reserve to the rear. --Along these covered ways are small bomb-proof dodging-holes in the side walls, like bank swallows' n
