On this serene Sunday morning we remain still en.,

mottntains strike the skies; beauteous lekelets lave the
feet of noble hills, the Potomac, yet in its youth, and Fe- •

the gentle Antietam, leaping brightly over marble stones,
blends fondly with its waters Near by, in a griive, the
rich strains of a band breathe worship threngh • the air,
and heroes of twenty battles listen devoutly to thanks
roistered towards the Lord of all, for their late delive;;
ranee from peril. The day is emphatically one of _offence )
and rest,-and' rugged j soldiers sit - motionless and alone,
enchanted back to scenes of home, and to Welbrenient.'

It may not be clear why the day was saved on the lof l / 4
when both the right and centre maintained their ground, -
and even drove the enemy a short distance. It may bin
accounted for in this way : By the turning cf the enemy's:
right, he w is compelled to weaken his left and centre by
sending reinforcements to its support, and, therefore, en.'
centre and right to drive him. The feat of.
taking the atone bridge across the Antietam, on WedneB-'
day, was prilermed by the Diet Oolonell
Bartranft, and 61st New York, Colonel Potter, followed
by the filet Massachusetts. Colonel Clark, in figineral
Ferrero's brigade of General lliturges' division. 'At this
Burnside waved - Ida bat, and cried, "I told you they'd
take it !” They are favorite regiments of his, and have'
• been sadly cut up in their various battles. Four other
regiments of General Sturges' division had, by some ma; •
accountable accident, previously failed in the attempt.
Lieutenant Colonel Bell, of tho 61st Pennsylvania, hn.
mediately after passing the bridge, was killed by a Cittlie•
ter shot, and rolled into the water. The adjutant of the'
regiment was also wounded. Adjutant Fowler, of the
61st new York, a resident of Brooklyn, was killed at
the entrance of the bridge by a rifle ball in the right':
side. Both these officers had won the attachment of their
entire regiments, and are deeply regretted. These regi
ments were ordered a second time into battle that day to
defend the heights of Bharpsburg after they were taken,
and, in confpany with the-other two regiments of For.'
rere'a brigade, the 21st and 315th Massachusetts, were,
exposed to a terrible fire for three quarters of an liner

lad men eziongh, and generals enough, tomeet every pos.
Bible contitgency, but, with all this, Jackssn hes proven
his.ability to escape us. The prospect of another win
ter's'carapaign, amid the mud and rain, the frost, and
snow, and sleet of desolate Virginian hills, is anything
but pleasant; indeed, it is gloomy in the extreme. The
leaden hail and the iron rain have done their fearful
work; a hundred thousand brave men have fallen on
the battle.fields of this war; but another winter's toil,',
and travel, and disease, will destroy even more than this.
Oh! this terrible war ought to be ended now; the people
fnliy expected this; the soldier confidently hoped and
labored for this; must all these hopes end in the bitter
mesa of despair.?
Our whole country is one vast hospital, the dead, dying,
and wounded, lie scattered eyerywhem, while our sick
crowd the receptacles of every State in the Union. Why
is it that our tick and enfeebled soldiers are compelled. to
drag out a miserable existence in following thelliapid
movements of the army 'I Are the re no asylums to which
they could turn for shelter and care? We ask these
questions, because our division Burgeon, by a recent order,
compd., all sick soldiers to keep up with Weir regi
ments, whether able or not, while he provides no means
for their transportation ! Can a sick man do this at all
times ? Can a man who lingers, or lies down by the
way, exhausted, be harshly forced along without ability
to do so? Certainly our Government intends no such
thing; no Government in the world ever did such a
monstrous thing, or attempted such an inhumanity.
Surely there Is no general order to such an effect, ire
know there fa provision made for our sick and wounded
-soldier,, and'no renews, even a division• surgeon, dare
leave a sick or wounded man, when properly re
ported, ' by the way side, to suffer; neither can be
compel him to march or folios the army. The surgeon is
responsible for all such men; and he is under serious
obligations to either send 'such soldier to some proper
hospital, or else find comfortable quarters for him by
the way. This is the duty of each officers, as they them
selves well know. It is quite easy for a division surgeon
to ride about on a spirited charger, gaily caparisoned,
himself booted and spurred, and bedecked with all the
gay insignia of office, while he is, at the same time, re.
calving a fat salary fordoing el this, and nothing more."
It is very pleasant:for him to ride in and out of the lanes
and alleys, to well furnished tables, while the suffering
soldier is treated with harshness and neglect. But the
time is coming when all this shall , be properly expelled,
and thesismea of such knight* of "red tapeißm" pro,
perly expented, and held up to contempt and infamy.
We disclaim anything illiberal in the foregoing atrio•
tures, but the nature of the case demands it our hands.
The Covernnient is peying large eateries and bestowing
large posiers upon men in no .wise fitted to receive the
one or wear the other, wlile our soldiers receive their
pittance of thirteen dollars per month, and are forced to
endure all the toil acurdanger, and to be abased by these
minions of power, to boot
The enemy, in the last two days fighting, acknowledge
a loss of fifteen thousand. Our logs is not ascertained,
but may be set down at halt that number. We have
captured about eighty pieces of artillery from the enemy
since they crossed the Potomac,. Yesterday, by a'stra
tutu), we.obtained sixteen pieces, which the enemy had
planted on the opposite heights across the river. Picked _
men were sent over during the night, who concealed
themselves acme distance from the enemy's guns. Oar
batteries then opened upon them at daylight, and, shelled
a w ay the gunners, when our men - rushed from their
ambush and pulled guns, carriages, and all, down the
declivities into the river. Six of them have since been
taken out by us, and we will probably recover all of
them. D.

Sept. 23d j
of resterdiv gives the follow :
lug relative to the terrible battle fongnt at Sharpsbar g,
Md. on Wednesday last:
We have received authentic particulars of the sanguin
ary battle at Sharpsburg, alluded to elsewhere, and con
cerning which so many painful remora were afloat, on
yesterday. We have the gratification of being able to
announce that the battle resulted in one of the mist com
plete vict ries that have yet immortalized the Confederate
arms. The ball was opened on Tuesday evening about
six o'clock, all of our available forces, about sixty
thousand strong, commanded by Gen. Rosirt E Lee, in
person, and the enemy about one hundred and arty thou
sand strong, commanded by Gen. McClellan in person,
being engaged. The poaition of our army was lIPOn a
range of bills, forming a Semi- circle, with the concave
towards the enemy the latter 'occupying a le.s COll
- position apposite, their extreme right resting ,
upon a height commanding our extreme left. 7he ar
rangement of our line was aa follows: Gen. Jackson on
the extreme left, Gen Longstreet in the centre, and Gen.
P. Hill on the extreme right.
The fight on Tuesday evening was kept up until nine
o'clock at night, when itautadded into spasmodic kkir...
aisles along the line. Wednesday morning-, it was re
newel by General Jackson, aid gradually' became ;gene
ral. Both armies maintained their respective positions,
and fengbi desperately throughout the •entire day. Da
ring this battle Blue paburg was fired by the enemy's
Maw, end at one' time the enemy Obtained a position
which enabled them to pour a flanking Era upon a portion
of our left wing, causing it to waver. At this moment,
General Etark, or Misaiesippi, who had command of Ge
neral Jackson's division, gall° unite the front of hie bd..
gime, and seizing the standard; rallied them forward.. No
soener did the salient general thus throw himself in the
van than four ballets pierced his body, and he fell dead
amidst his men. The effect, Instead ofdlscouraging, fired'
them with determination and revenge, and 'they dashed
forward, drove the enemy back, and kept them from the
position during the rest of the day.
It being evident that the c , Young Napoleon," finding
he could not force his way through the invincible ranks
of our army in that direction, had determined upon a
flank movement towards Harper's Perry, and tithe ob.
tarn a position in oar roar, General Lee, with ready
fore sight, anticipated the movement by drawing the main
body of his army back on the south' side of the Potomac,
at Bhopherdstown, Virginia, whence he will, of course,
projeet the !memory com binations for again defeating
his adversary.
The enemy's arta/try was. served with disastrous
effect upon our gallant troops; but they replied frond
musket, howitzer, and:cannon with a rapidity and will
that carried haveo.amidat.the opposing ranks. The Let
t/a was one of the most revere that have been fought
since the opening of the war. Many of our brave men
fell. At dark the Brink ceated, and in the morning
(.lbursday) our army were ready to recommence the
enalgement, the enemy having been forced back the eve-
Meg before, and • the advantage of the battle being gill
on' our side:
Firing was consecluently opened upon the new position
supposed to be held by the enemy, but no reply was ob
tained, end it was then discovered that be had disappear
ed entirely from the field, leaving many of his dead and
wounded in our bands, and about- three hundred prison
ers. The report current on yesterday that a truce oc
curred on Tbra*,,sday for the burial of the dead was an
four.dtd. The prisoners stated that their force was more
that a hundred 'thousand strong, and that McClellan
commanded the army in person.
Our lose is estimated at five thousand in killed, wound •
ed, and missing. The prisoners state that their ranks
were greatly decimated, and that the slaughter was terri
ble from which we may infer that the enemy's loss was
fully as great, if not greater, than our own.

levelled, every cut tilled up, and every cross tie and rail
removed, from Harper's Ferry to Wheeling and Parkers
burg. The road has been a source of nothing but ovil to
the State since it was made, and more especially since
the commencement of the war. Along Its whole line the
taint of disloyalty and treason is to be seen.- It has more

TIIE PRESIDENT'S ANSWER.
eulject presenter' In the memorial is one upon
which I have thought much for weeks past, and Imay
even say for months. I am approached with the most
opposite opinions and advice, and that by religions Men,
who are equally certain t hat they represent the Divine
Will. lem sure that either the one or the other class is
*mistaken in' that belief, and perhaps, in some respects,
both. I hope it will not be irreverent for me to say that,
.ff it, Is probable that God would reveal his will to others
bers point so connected with my duty, it might be sup.
.poeed He Would reveal it directly to me. For, =lass I
cm more deceived in myself than -I often am, it Sc my
earnest desire to "mow' the will of Providence In this mat

are not, howeyer, -the days of miracles, and I suppose it
will be granted th at lam not to expect a direct revels.
tion. I most rind) , the plain, physical facts of the cage,
aicerlain what is possible, and learn what appears to be
wise and right.
Now, then, tell me, if you please, what possible result
, of good would follow the issuing of such a proclamation
as you desire ? Understand, I raise no objection against
It on legal or constitutional grounds; for, as Commander
in. chief of the army and. navy, in time of war, I suppose
I have a right lo take any measure which may beet sub
due the enemy. Nor to I urge objections of a moral na
ture, in view of poasibte consequences of insurrection and
massacre at the South. I view the matter as a practical
war measure, to be decided upon according to the advan
tages or disadvantages it may offer to the suppression of
the rebellion.
• , RESPONSZ OF THE bILBGAT/ON.
We,tbserved (tatting up the President',. ideas in order) .
that good men Indeed differed , in their opinions on this
subject ; nevertheleis the truth was somewhere, and it
was a matter of solemn moment for him to ascertain it
that we bad not been el wanting in respect alike to our
selves and to him as to come a thousand miles to bring
.tnerely our opinion to be set over against the opinion of
other parties.; that the memorial contained facts; print!.
, ples, and ar guments which appealed to the intelligence of
MS President and to his faith in Divine Providence;llutt
he could not deny that the Bible denounced oppression as
one of tho higheet of crimes, and threatened Divine
judgment against nations that practised it; ' that our
cotmiry bad been exceedingly guilty in-this respect, both
at the North and Eouth; that our Jutt punishment has
come by a slaveholders' rebellion; that the virus of se
cession is found wherever the virus of slavery extends,
and no farther 7 to that there is the amplest reason for.
expecting to avert Divineindgmenta by platting away the
sin, and for hoping to remedy the national troubles by
striking at their cause.
That it was true be could not now enforce the Consti
tution at the r ouch ; but we should see in that fact no
reason whatever for not proclaiming emancipation, but
rather the contrary. The two appealed to : different
clams; the latter would aid, and, in truth, was neces
sary to re establish the former, and the twoconld be made
operative together, as fast as our armies fought their way
southward ; while we had yet to hear that ho professed to
abandon the GoLetitution because of the present diffi
culty of enforcing it.
As to the' inability of Oengress to agree on this policy
at the late If6(10)11, it was quite possible; in view of sub
sequent events, there might be more unanimity at ano
ther meeting. The members have met their constituents
atd learned of marvellous conversions to the wisdom of
emancipation, especially since late reverses have awa
kened thdtight as to the es trem • peril of the nation, and
made bad men as well as good men realize that we have
to deal with God in this matter. Men of the most oppo
site previous viewe were now uniting in calling for this
„
insecure.
That to proclaim emancipation would secure the it'd'.
lathy of Europe and the whole civilized world, which
now saw no other reason for the strife than national
pride and ambition,
an unwillingness to abridge oar de
train and power. No other step would be so potent to
prevent foreign intervention. -
Furthermore, it would tend a thrill through the entire
Huth, firing every .patriotto heart, giving the people a
&follow principle for which to suffer and to fight, and
wanting them that the work wee to beep thoroughly
done as to leave our country free forever from danger
and ditigrace in this quarter.
We added that, - when the proclamation should become
widely known (as the law of Congress bee not been) -it
would withdraw the slaves from the rebels, leaving them
without laborers, and giving us both laborers and vol.:
diem. The n the difficulty experienced by Gen. Butler '
and other generals• arose from the fact that halfway
measures could never avail& It is the inherent vice of
half- way " ineaeures that they create as many difficulties
as 'they remove. It is folly merely to receive and feed
the slaves: They should be welcomed and fed, and then,
according to Paul's doctrine, that they who eat must'
work, be made to labor and to fight for their liberty and
Ours.. With such a. polloy, the blacks would be no en
cumbrance, end their rations no waste. In this respect
we should follow the ancient maxim, and learn of the
enemy. What the rebels moat fear is what we ahould be
most prompt to do, end what they moat fear is evident
from the bet haste with which, on the first day of the
.prenent stesion of the rebel Congress, bills were intro
duced threatening terrible vengeance if we used the
blade In the war.
SLAVERY TUB ROOT OF TES REBELLION -BENEFITS
" OR EMANCIPATION SEOWN.
Mr. Micelnreplied
I admit that slavery is the root of the rebellion, or at
least its sine Qua non. The ambition of 'politicians may/
hate instigated them to act, but they would have been
impotent without slavery as their instrument. I will
alto concede that emancipation would help us in Europa,
and convince them that we are incited by something
more then ambition. I grant further, that it would help
totnewbat at the North, though. not so much, I fear, as
you and tbore you represent imagine. sun, some addi
tional strength would be added in that way to the war.
And then urqueetiouably it would weaken the rebels by
draiting off their laborers, wblch la of great importance.
But Ism net to sure we could do much with the blacks.
If we wire to arm them I for that in a few- weeks tho
alma would be in the hands of the rebels *and, indeed,
thus far we have not had arms enough to equip our white
troops. •
I will mention another thing, though it meet only your
scortiand contempt. There are fifty thousand bayonote
'in the Union armies frcm the Border Slave States. It
would be a ertions matter if, in consequence of a procla
mation such as you desire, they should go over to the
rebels. Ido not
_think. they all Would—not so many,
indeed, as a year ago, or as slineenths'agd—not so many
m -day , as yeeterday, Every clay- increases their Union
let Hug.. They are also/getting their pride enlisted v and
wititt*to beat the rebels. Let me say one thing more: I
think 'you should admit that 'we 'already have 'au' im
portant principle to rail, tutd unite the people in.the'fact
that constitutional government. is at stake.. This is a
fundamental idea, going down about as deep as any
thing. '
A CONVERSATION
We answered that, being fresh from the people, we
were natnrally more hopeful than himself as to the necee
pity std probable effect - ot such a proclamation. The
velem of constitutional government is indeed a grand Ides
for Which to contend; but the people know that nothing
else has 'put constitutional 'government in danger but
eleven y that the toleration of that - aristocratic and de. •
notic element among our free Infaltuilone woe the Incon=4 .
histency, tbat has pettily wrought our ruin and canoed
trot treerelerient to appear a failure before the world i
TWO CENTS
and, therefore, the iticiple demand emancipation to pre
serve and perpetuate constitutional government Our
Idea would thus be found to go deeper they this and to be
armed with corresponding power.
Mr. Lincoln. Yes, that is the tans ground of our diffi
culties.
Delegation: That a proclamation of general smanciDa
tion, giving is Liberty and Union" as thenationalwatch
word, would rouse the people and rally them to Mg sup
port beyond anything yet witnessed—appealing alike to
conscience, sentiment, and hope. He must' remember,
too, that present manifestations are no index of what
would then take place. If the leader will bat utter a
trumpet call, the nation will respond with patriotic ardor.
No one can tell the power of the right word from the
Tight - MSG to develop the latent fire and enthusiasm of
the masses.
Er. Lincoln. I know it.
Delegation. That good sense must, of course, be exer
cised in drilling, arming, and using black as weft as white
troops to make them efficient; and that, in a scarcity of,
arms, it was at least worthy of iniusiry whether it were
not wise to•place a portion of them In the' hands of those
nearest, to the seat of the rebellion, and able to strike the .
deadliest blow." That, in 'case of a proclamation of eman
cipation, we bad no fear of serious injury from the deser
tion of Border state troops. The danger was greatly
diminished, iss the President had admitted. But, let the
desertions be what they might, the increased spirit of the
North would replace them two to one One State alone,,
if necessary, would compensate the. ices, were th'e whole'
fifty thousand to join the enemy. The struggle has gone
too far, and cost too much treasure and blood, to allow
of a partial settlement. Let the Ilue be drawn at the
_same time between freedom and slavery, and between
loyalty and treason. The sooner we know who are our
enemies the better.
In bringing our interview" to a close, after an hour of,
earnest and frank dismission, of which the foregoing is a
specimen, Mr. Lincoln remarked : Do not misunderstand;
me .because I have, mentioned these objections. They
indicate the difficulties that have thus far prevented my
action in some such way as 'on desire. I have not de.
tided against a proclamation of liberty to the slaves. but
hold the matter under advisement. And I can assure
_yen that the subject is on my mind, by day and nislit,
mote than any other. Whatever shall appea r to be God's
will, 1 will dc.
The Bine Reserves in Service
To the Editor of The Press:
Sin: The Blue Reserves of this city, under command
of Col Alfred Bay, have not yet received the credit due
, .
them For the alacrity with which they responded to the
• Governor's cal' for troops to defend the State, nor for the
efficiency and zealexhibited by them in the performance
of their many and arduous duties. The regiment did not
preset t the fine, soldierly appearance when it left the
city that it should have done, for the reason that the
lager part of the men entered the ranks and hurried off
to Barrieburg without an hour's warning. Many of them
were without blankets or overcoats, and a large number
had not even a change of clothing. They left the city on
Saturday, the.l3th instant, two days in advance of any
other regiment. They were detained at Harrisburg until
Tuesday, when they started for Hagerstown, Md., which
they finally leached on the 18th hurt. Thir reception
along the route wee enthusiastic. At Shippensburg, Oar
lisle, and hlechaniceburg, the whele population turned
out to welcome them to the Cumberland Valley. The
-.People of Chambereburg, particularly, seemed to vie with
. each other in making them cornice table. They really
seemed to appreciate the sacrifices made by them for the
!defence of Omit glorious old State. upon their arrival
at Hagerstown limy were encamped upon a field-to the_
-cart ef the railroad, just beyond the town, and no
r sooner was a halt 'ordered, than many of them,' both
hungry and tired, lay , down without shelter, or , food,
' and were soon asleep But their slumbers were des
tined to , be of short duration, for at 10 o'clock P. M.
they were marched out about one mile and a half oh the
Williamsport turnpike, and detailed in small Equals for
guard duty on each side of the road. A force of 4,000
rebels lad crossed the Potomac at Williamsport during
the day, and although an attack upon Hagerstown was
not expected, It wee deemed prudent to take precaution
ary measures to prevent a surprise. They lay upon their
alms all night, but there were no signs of the enemy.
About three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day
(19th inst.), orders came from General Reynolds for the
' regiment to march immediately in fighting trim, without
knapsacks or blankets. The command was instantly
obeyed, and the regiment marched down the turnpike
toward Williamsport, in high- spirits, singing and cheer
ing Two miles out from Hagerstown they came up to
the Pennsylvania militia, drawn np in line of bathe, their
atre resting -upon the turnpike. They were nearly
all without uniforms, many indeed not even having ac
coutrements, carrying their ammunition in their pockets,
but a finer body of men I never saw congregated. The
Blue Reserves were placed nearly a mile in advance of
the main body, while
,Company of the regiment was
sent down the road to reconnoitre. The rest of the regi
ment lay upon their arms in perfect silence, exprotlng an
attack every moment About sunset, a courier came
dashing up, and reported that a small squad of the An.
decree Cavalry had been attacked by 30C rebel cavalry,
just below the toll-gate, and driveir back, bat were re
inforced by Company 0, who gave the rebefir several well
directed volleys, repnis!ng them, and causing them to re
treat in great contusion . They then fell back to their re
giment, and Company 0 watt sent out to relieve them. At
10 P. M., Capt. Andenried,Go. 0, findiugfrem information
received from the Anderson -Troop scouts, that he was
being surrounded, and in great danger of being cap
tured with his command, fell back. one-quarter of a mile
from the toll-gate, to Fairview Inn, and Company E, •
()apt. Once, was sent,out to assist him. They were
placed on two aides of an old log- house, commanding
the road; and drawn up in line, with orders to be watch
ful ; but, although fully prepared for an encounter with
the rebels, they did not appear, and the triad wore
away wearily to our tried and anxious soldiere,•with
nothing to break its stillness but the occasional crack of
a rifle, or the whistling of a stray bullet. Before sunrise
General Reynolds came out, and ordered an immediate •
change of position. One company was placed in the
interior of the log but, with instructions to tear away
the plaster to make loop holes, while the other was de
ployed behind the fence, on the other aide of the road,
hill on their stomachs.' Reyrolds explained to them
theeimpertance of their position, and freckly stated his
object to ho, to bag the entire rebel force at Williamsport.
Gene Franklin and -Conch were chasing the enemy nit
the river towards the town, and it was hoped that he
w 'uld dash up too ards Hegeretown. and fall into our
heeds, an easy. • prey. On Saturday morning, the 20th
inat., 400 of the Anderson Troop passed up the roaditqz
ward Williamsport, and in the . meantime, the wliole
regiment of Blue Reserves moved t their positionliktici , Z.

enemy were recrossing the river, but MIR aliowingjfght 2 '
and it was there that 0110 cf the guns of Killeen Battery
Opened upon them from the brow of the hill at the toll
gate. All day could be heard' heavy cannonading down
the Potomac, as the - enemy slowly retreated before Mc-
Clellan, and it drew nearer and nearer, until from'ehe
advance position, could be seen, far down in the valley, the
puffs of white smoke, preceding each report. Soon after
the information 'cams that the pickets thrown oat by the
Blue Reserves bad met those of Franklin.; and had re
turned, bringing with them a contrabeadorome whore
some alight information was obtained.. At this juncture,
General Real) 's brigade, consisting of five regiments-
Maryland volunteer'', came up in splendid order,- on the
dentle-oniek, and took position on the right of the Blue
Reserves. They were without knapsacks, and- in- Per
fect fighting trim. Tho night passed quietly, however,.
and Sunday morning brought the news that Jackson- had
suoceeded in reaching the Shenandoah-valley with all hie
!me, and was now in full retreat from. Illsryland. The
duty of the Blue Reserves of course ended here, and
General Reynolds publicly thanked them-for their credi
table behavior, attributing to their brave conduct, white
acting as the advance guard, the salvation of the little
army of Pennsylvanians in their rear. The Blues were
then ordered back to camp at Hagerstown, where there
was a epectal train in waiting to convey Gov: Curtin to
Harrisburg. As soon as he made his appearance, he was
conducted to the' camp, where. In a abort speech, he
commended - the people of the State- for their noble re
opens() to his call, and spoke in high terms of the con•
duct of the 24 Regiment, who were on duty 48' hours,
without rest and with but little food..
.....
On Sunray night the regiment &tatted for home, having,
as an officer wbo was in the Mexican war remarked, un
dergone more hardship!, and done more &Irvine in one
week, then he had ever seen before accomplished by raw
troops in a mouth. In conclusion, I would say that the
Blues are ready to go again in the name emergency.
A Gas-Consumer's Groans.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sir : if there is ; one corporation in the City of Bro
therly LOCO to which Train's aphorism "that corpora
thins have no souls, and no bottoms to kick," applies
with more force, felicity, and truthfulness than any
other, it is the Philadelphia Gas Company.
At the bottom of the bills which this admirably
managed organization sends forth at the end of each
Quarter, the following “Extraeffrom Ordinance pat Sad
by Common and Select Councils, is presented:" 2.
Gas will be supplied by the meter and should the meters
be found defective, they will he immediately changed."
Such is the emphatic; distinct, unequivocal, and minds.
trkable statement which accompanies every acoonnt
that is rezdeted to the consumers of gas
the old adage that . 4 promises are easy, but perform
ance is doubtful," is fully illustrated in this case. For
when an innment and verdant consumer of the article
finde that his bill is unusually large, in comparison with
the accounts for similar periods during many preceding
years, and is also not only conscious of the fact, but has
duly notified theproper person that there has been a leak
age for some time, either from the service pipe or the roster,
he naturally supposes that it is only necessary to mention
the fact, in the most quiet and gentlemanly manner, and
the difficulty will be remedied at once, and a fair abate.
meat made on the unjuat charge. What a different re
sult attends an application for redress ! With a clvit leer,
the Official addressed, states that no abatements are made
cn accounts rendered but that duo attention will be paid
to the complaint with regard to the leakage by sending a
ccm;etent porton to make an examination of the
premises. The so. called "competent portion"
arrives, and either owing to the fact that • na
ture bad not supplied him with olfactory bulbs, or, if
hiasmellir g apparatus was all right originally, possibly.
suffering under a severe attack of coryza, vulgarly called
a 6 , had co'd id the 'ed," or fromi being constantly called
upon to follow up the scent after 'carburetted hydrogen,
the olfactory nerve becomes blunted to such an extent
that the function of the organ is either destroyed or fin,
paired, E 0 that the "competent person" is unable to '
diecover that which has been a constant source of annoy
ance not only to the innocent gas consumer's family but
to the friends who seek his roof, the patients or clients
who desire his advice. or assistance, the neighbor with
whom bepirrni to live on terms of amity, and: the pasesr •
by, exciting in each and all rer dated and most danmatory.
comments.
The “Competent person" having made big examine
tioa, reports to the , official that / there is no cacao for
complaint.
•
The nuisance continuing, notwithstanding_ repeated
complaints after this on the part of the innocent gas con
ruiner, and as many unsatisfactory examinations on the
part of 4 . competent person,": eventually another quarter
rolls around, and along with its close the inevitable ac
count arrives. Again it is found that a comparison with
the same period during several previous Tears reveals an
iinusnal amount of gas consumed,. notwithstanding the
fact that extraordinary care has been. exercised to di
minish the conlimption t ar.d•successfully, so far as actual
cortinmption is concerned. The of:iciat's attention is
directed to this fact, and another urgent appeal is made
to have a thorough examination instituted, requesting,
as a particular favor, that the...competent person,”
heretofore employed on 'similar occasions, may not be
sent.
The examination being made thle.time by a man of
intelligence, a bole is discovered in the motor,
through
which the gas has been escaping for: many months. Tee
miter is .prononnced worthless and a new one aub•
stituted. Bumming that an abatement will' be made
under such circumstances, an, inquiry is instituted
by the innocent gas consumer relative to the amount
likely to he deducted but thee prompt' response
again is that "no abatements made on accounts nn
dereti." True, the gas has escaped, but he is informed
that ft is rift recorded against him by the meter. ilt
criving this, cum grans.sakM, the innocent gas consumer
can only compare himself: to the country bumpkin who,
on visiting amtnagirie, was• informed by the keeper of
'be elephant that if he would place a shilling on the
ground within reach cf its that intelligent animal
woMil pick it up and place it in a box oa the top of o
Doh, twelve or fifteen feet high. The shilling having been
laid on lho ground, nicked np. and placed in tho box, on
the bumpkin requesting the keeper to Enslio the animal
retrieve the money from the box and return it to him, he
was 'orotund in response that 0 We never teach the ele
phant to do rich things as that."
This is no fancy sketch,- but. an actual and recant oc
eurrence, and, from all account‘it is not an eaten ion
able one, but has been the experience of many innocent
gee consumers, who can boar testimony to the ticoterecy
of the statement of ONlt OF THEIR Nintlß RR.
