EPIIBAIM B. EAGER, son of
Mrs. Elizabeth Eager, of this place, aged
25 years and 14 days, was killed at the
battle of Antietam, near Sharpsburg, on
the 17th September. He had been in the
service since December last, was 2d Scrgt.
of Csntp. A, 19th Indiana Volunteers, '
Col Meredith, and fell in the cause nf his
country, gallantly fighting for those rights
handed down to us by our revolutionary
fathers. Ilis death is a sad blow to a wi
dowed mother, to brethren and sisters, as
well as many friends whose good will he
had secured.
Extract of a letter from his brother James, of
C. G, bth Reserves.
I suppose you have heard of the fight of
Sunday last. " It was my first experience.—
We drove the enemy from one of the best and
strongest positions they ever occupied. Fain
ilies were robbed of fathers and brothers on
that day. Ephraim led the company he was
with in that engagement. We then followed
them. That fight was South Mountain. The
enemy retreated, and when we next came up
with them a desperate fight came off, and the
dread realities of war were brought to our
■own door. Ephraim, again at the head of
the company, marched into the ft Hit. and in a
charge through the woods, after driving the
enemy, were in turn driven back, and brother
fell wounded mortally, in the stomach, and
was brought off the field, hut died soon after,
and was decently buried by the boys of his
company. The last time I saw him was on
Saturday last. lie was encamped about half
a mile from me. I went to see him and took
supper with him. and little did I expect it
was the last tirae I was to se him. Our com
pariy lost one killed and one wounded. Henry
Couch, the one killed, was standing behind
me firing, when a hall passed aver my shoulder
and hit him above the eye, killing him in
stantly.

Abraham, turee uunurca snousma mora,'
to which the following reply has been ad
4e<l:
i welcome you, my gallant boys.
From Maine's resounding shore—
From far Xew Hampshire's granite hills
X see your legions pour;
From Massachusetts' fc>-*ile valss,
From old Vermoot they come;
Connecticut wheels into line
At roll'ng of the drum;
And little UhoJy springs to arms
Like L>avid :u his might,
Upon rebellion's giant front
To strike one blow for right:
One blew for right, iny hero boys,
For right and L'ucle Sam-
Strike, and receive the blessings
Of the God of Abraham.
I eee front ali her boundaries
The glorious Umpire State
A couutless host is sending forth
With freedom's hopes elate;
From Delaware there comes a gleam
Of white and crimson bars,
Where faithful hands are holding up
The bai.ner of the stars;
Hew Jersey answers to the cull,
As if along her shore,
Each graia of sand had said, we come,
Six hundred thousand more:
Wo come to strike for liberty,
For right, and Uncle Sum,
Who gives us all the blessings
Of the God of Abraham.
And Pennsylvania, keystone of
This glorious Union arch,
Is sounding through her thousand caves
The thrilling order, march
X see her dusky sons ooine forth
From every darkened mine,
And, like the clouds along her hills
Swift forming into line;
Their eyos have such a fiery gleam
From glowing forges caught.
Their arms such strength as if they were
Of iron sinews wrought;
I think when ou Secession's head
They strike for Uncle 3am,
• - Each blow will fr.ll like vengeance
From the God of Abraham.
I see adown our Western vales
Your legions pour, my boys,
Ohio, Indiana, an i
My own loved Illinois,
And lowa, and Michigan,
And Minnesota too,
The Right Talk—What is Weeded.
Hon. Rat iel S. Dickinson recently ad
dressed a letter to the citizens of Eric,
which enunciates precisely the thought and
desire of the people in this crisis of our
history. As to t.hc duty of the Govern
ment, Mr. Dickinson says :
"In the pursuit of its purpose the Govern
merit must rise to the dignity of the res pen
sibility, and while it extends the protection of
the Constitution to those who acknowledge
its obligation, should, in dealing with revolt,
lay its hand with iron rigor upon every in
terest which will give it strength or weaken
its lawless adversary, and should strike hard
est where it will te felt most ; should, for the
purpose of conquering an early peace, in ob
edience to the first instinct of self preserva
tion and the holiest dictates of humanity,
whenever it will contribute to these results,
immediately or remotely, condemn and con
Jiscatc to its use every species of property of
every name and kind, whether animate or in
animate—on two legs or on four. This will
give an earnest of the realities of war."
The following sound remarks by Mayor
Henry, of Philadelphia, should command
the attention of all loyal men :
"There can be no partizan triumph over
the National Administration that will not be
gladly hailed by foreign Governments as a
popular denunciation of our war for the Un
ion ; there can be no factious opposition to
the policy of that Administration that will
not a., frosli vigor throughout the ranks
of treason ; the.* be defeat of the
friends of the Administrate, . h ,
speed rebel bullets with deadlier aim
our brethren, whose lives are perilled \n the
vindication of our country's honor."

Lewistown, Mifflin co., Sept. 21, 1862.
Tcli the Truth and Sim mo the Devil!
I AM tohl that Samuel B. II tines lias said
. to a number of Mittlin county farmers,
that he made the same kind of horse power
long since, which I am now making, (Pehon's
Patent) and that lie found it was not good and
abandoned it. and if any one doubts it lie can
show them the wheels. The object of this
communication is to give a history of those
wheels as related to me by those who claim
t" know the truth, as follows;
Lewis Wisler some years since brought to
this county a Peltoti Horse Power. It was
left in n place where smne or.c drove against
it with a wagon and broke it. He took it to
Samuel B. Haines to get it repaired; Mr.
Haines did not (perhaps could not) repair it,
but set it in the cellar of his shop, where it
remains, and is what he shows as being of
his own make. This summer Lewis Wisler
sold it to W. P. Graham, giving him an order
f' ;r it, but Mr. Haines refused to deliver it.
The inference is easily drawn.
1 have no objection to his making any kind
of machines lie has a right to make ; nor do
I wish to divert his customers to myself in
any way hut l>y their own choice. If I make
the best article the public will find it out for
themselves; I leave them to judge.
1 am the sole agent of the Patentee, Saml.
Pelton, for all of Pennsylvania west of the
busqu<dianna, and I am not aware of any
privilege to build being granted to any one
before me in the district described, except Dr.
A. V. B. Orr. JOHN R. WEEKES,
