WASHINGTON, Thursday, Aug. 1. The Pennsylvania Delegation in Congress have unanimously recommended, the President to appoint Gen. CADWALADER to a position according to his rank and achievements as a soldier. If Gen. CADWALLADER's services at Baltimore are to be the standard of his merits, I am afraid the President will not give the General a very elevated place. Ex-President BUCHANAN is so ill that he is obliged to forego his customary visit to Berkeley Springs. Gen. SCOTT has issued a general order commanding our troops in all cases to respect the tomb of WASHINGTON and the grounds of the Mount...

National eyes are on the Republican primary Tuesday for the seat of former Rep. Steve Stivers, R.-Ohio.

A man from Robertson County, Tennessee was playing a video game on Saturday night during a storm when a nearby lightning strike resulted in him being shocked straight up the wire of his controller. He was able to make the call, and when ambulance crews arrived, they found that he didn’t appear injured, “wanted to be checked out to make sure he was not injured” and didn’t need to be transported to a local hospital. And while this might sound like a one-in-a-million kind of event, it was just last year that Karma, a pro Rocket League player, was playing...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently monitors hospitalizations and deaths, from any cause, among fully vaccinated individuals with COVID-19, but not breakthrough infections, which it stopped monitoring as of...

On this date in 1343, a noble widow’s career in piracy got its start where such ventures more usually end: the scaffold. Olivier III de Clisson, a powerful Breton noble nominally loyal to France, had been persuaded to ally with England’s Edward III in what nobody yet realized was the opening stage of the Hundred Years’ War. Intriguing to advance a claim to the French throne, Edward knew right where to look. “Brittany was France’s Scotland, choleric, Celtic, stony, bred to opposition and resistance, and ready to use the English in its struggles against its overlord as the Scots used...
