The Invasion.— The paralyzing effect in this
city of the first announcement of the rebel ap
proaohtothe Susquehanna, occupation of Wrights
ville, York, eto,, passed away on Tuesday of last
week; as also it began to be evident that the army
of thePotomao was in motion and giving the rebels
some uneasiness, • Yet recruiting was very brisk
both that day and Wednesday. Twenty-four regi
ments of infantry and artillery, and four companies
of oavalry were announced as in process of rapid
formation. Some of the efforts, particularly those
of the Union League and the Coal Shippers, were
crowned with immediate and brilliant success. A
brigade of four regiments was rapidly forming under
the auspices and at the expense jof the League
alone. This was wise, both from the possibility oi
disaster to General Meade’s army, which would
give the rebels control of a large part of tbe State
or from fear of sudden bold dashes upon us from a
distance. Well would it be in tbe event of Lee s
defeat by Meade, to have a large force in a position
to aid in crushing the defeated army, and thus deal
a death-blow to rebellion*n the East.
On Tuesday, Juno 30, the rebels left Carlisle and
York* moving southward; it was believed that their
forces were concentrating between Chambersburg
and Shippen burg to meet the advance of our army
In York the rebels levied upon tbe inhabitants
$150,000 in good money and the same amount in“
subsistence. $3O 000 had been collected and pud
when the plunderers left, Notmng like this, we
think, has ever been done by onr invading troops;
and nothing has so touched and roused our business
men, who prefer vastly to give in the way of equip
ping and feeding onr own men rather than submit
to exactions from victorious invaders. Money for
raising and arming our troops wls never so abun
dant as it has been since this announcement.
General Pleasanton’s oavalry movements on Tues
day indicated that the Army of the Potomac was on
the alert. Besides clearing tbe rebel cavalry out of
Maryland, a detachment under Buford drove the
rebels out of Gettysburg. Neither was General
Milroy, on the other flank, inactive On the °9th-
Colonel Pierce with ,500 cavalry had a fight with
Imboden’s cavalry at MoConnelsburg. on the west
side of the valley. The rebels were driven out with
3 killed and 33 captured. Quite a number of
rebel spies have been detected and captured in
Pottsvllle and Reading. Rebel deserters are said
to be surprisingly numerous.
On the lst'of July, active movements from Har
risburg may be said to have fairly commenced
General Knipe led a; strong force on that day to
wards Carlisle, which the rebels had just eva
ousted, Our militia followed and ' re-occupied
it, the oavalry coming in at 9 A.M., and the
infantry from 3to 8 P.M. Meanwhile, the enemy
reappeared between 6 and 7 o’clock, and a flag of
trace was sent into the town, covering a demand for
Its surrender. This was promptly refused by Gen
Smith, when the enemy commenced to bombard tbe
town with its unarmed and defenceless population!
giving them no time to retire. Our artillery, replied
vigorously. The bombardment continued'"lmtil 10
P.M.; our loss was 1 killed and 16 wounded.
of the latter are among the Grey and Blue Reserves
and Ist Philadelphia Artillery. The barracks and
gas works were burned'by a detachment of tbe ene
my. A number of buildings were struck, and some
citizens were injured. The enemy then notified the
citizens to leave, as they designed renewing ’the
bombardment the next morning. But they did not
remain to execute their threat.
THE GREAT STRUGGLE IN PENNSYL-
TANIA.
The startling fact that the theatre of the war is
transferred to the borders of our own State, and
that the vallies inhabited and tilled by our frugal
and prosperous German farmers'are fbrever in ter
woven, as is the Potomac, the Rappahannock, the
James and the Chiokahominy* with the memory of
the straggle, not tosjeak of the prob ble decisive
nature of tbe struggle justify qs in yielding a larger
space than usual to tbe details. «
Tbe conflict began on Wednesday, July Ist,
though Pleasanton’s and Kilpatrick e valry had
gallantly driven Stuart the preceding day from
Hanover Junction and Hanover, Penn ylv nia towns
close to the Maryland border. On Wednesday
morning, Gen. Meadi s advance led by,Gen. Rey
nolds, started from Emmetsburg Md taking the
road to Gettysburg, Pa. When three miles from
the latter place, the noise of a conflict then in
progress between Bufrrd s art llery belonging to the
cavtary mentioned, and a considerable portion of the
rebel army was heard, A courier from Buford gave
new impetus to onr men who hurried on the <jou
ble-qniok to the field. A short distance beyond
Gettysburg the First corps came up with the enemy
who was trying to capture the guns.. We repulsed
him at first. Our line however being threatened by
superior numbers gradually fell back, "’he excited
rebels pressed forward, eager to turn the retire
ment into a rout. The result was quite contrary
to. their expectations for, while they pressed too
closely on the right of the centre division, the left of
the same division was suddenly swept around, and
then enclosed, in the handsomest manner an entire
robel brigade under Gen. Archer. Gen. Archer
and .bis whole staff were taken. Aboutfifteen hun
dred ofthe enemy’s men thus fell into our hands,
and went to the rear. Pressing forward again on
the rebels, Gen. Reynolds formed a new line ot
attack; but While making the necessary arrange
meats he was killed by a shaTp-shooter. The cor;
respondent of the 2V. P. Tribune says:—General
Reynolds fell early in the battle, while plaoing his
men in position. He took pains that no one should
know that he had received his death-wound until
he had nddgn, some distance out of the action, when
he quietly got off his horse, unuounced that he was
seriously wounded, and directed a surgeon to be
sent tor- Subsequently the 11th corps under Gen.
Howard came up; Gen. H. took command, and tbe
battle raged in the vicinity of the Lutheran Theo
logical Seminary, The rebels advanced on our lines
three times.
The straggles which ensued, are thus described
by the correspondent of the New York Herald:
“ On came the line, right up witbjuijhott range of
our position, when it was opened upon with a fire
SO sharp and well served as to stagger.and then
completely; repulse it.; Backward went the .line
came forward in such good order, a mere mass of
stragglers, each of whom made lhe best of his way
across the plain. White Sthe musketry was Very
hot in front of General Dbubleday, a party.of about,
one hundred rebels stole through the woods well up
on Doubleday’s left flank, and fired a large bars,
in Pennsylvania so overpeer the
small farmhouses. Repulsed, hut not vanquished,
the rebel line Was reformed and reinforced : and
now, for a second time, came on a force nearly twice
as great as at first. Once more, also, the batteries
threw shells, answered by our batteries on the left,
and also by batteries of purs on the extreme right,
which, at this rime, threw shells at that position
on the qpeby’s f hire. Otoe more the packed,
rapid rattle of oUr file fire brake out, and once m.re
the rebel line was broken and went ra the right
about in rout. There* amysteriousfatehtycom
nected with the third rime; and so, after a luU and
period of comparative quiet
ward for a third rime came the rebels, quite _as or
derly as before, their line of firaig as
they came on. In so great « f r e r Tnf the 11
that it completely overlapped the hne ° f the t
Corps on both flanks. Two bngadeson ttenght
were quite out of and
given to retreat on fE#town; dti our boj>s accord
ingly retreated in good order, while the rebels rush
ed forward with yells to our position. On came
the enemy’s fourth line, further to the light of the
third, in good order, skirmishers ahead, until the
position at the Seminary was reached, when they
came forward wifh a rush, and occupied a hill we
had deemed it worth while not to hold after the
other was taken. On also came another line in sup
port behind thjs, and onr cavalry on the extreme
left began to retire.
At this moment tbe field presented a true war
picture. Across the fields to the right came the re
bel line, with colors which fluttered in the pleasant
breeze ; in the centre were two farm-houses, out
houses, and barns in flames, and on the left the
column of cavalry in retreat, while beyond all the
ray- of the nun beat down through the showery
cloud- and gilded every object with a peculiarly
golden light, and over the heavens to the eastward
streatched a magnificent rainbow. After our retire
ment on the town the rebel advance was not pressed
further. The Evening Bulletin of this city says:
About 10,000 of our'men in this fight were engaged
With 30J)00 of the enemy. During: Wednesday
night about seventy five thousand of Gen. Meade's
troops came up and took favorable positions for re
opening tbe. battlo on Thursday morning, while at
that period some twenty-five thousand other Union
troop- belonging to.the Army of the Potomac were
so near at hand -as to be immediately available for
the conflict. 1 The correspondent ofthe New York
TiTOeiTaays: The battle was sanguinary m £hc ex
treme. Wadsworth’s division sustained the early
portion of it with great valor, charging the enemy
and taking a whole regiment of prisoners with Bng-
Gen. Archer. We have taken fully one thousand
prisoners and lost many, most of them being woun
ed and in Gettysburgh, the greater portion of which
the enemy held, utter the battle The po ltion of
our forces after the fight of Wednesday was to the
eastward,and southward of Gettysburgh, covering
the Baltimore Pike, the Taneytown and Emmitts
burgh road, and Still being nearly parallel with the
latter. The formation oi the ground on the right
andcentreWaS excellent for defensive purposes. On
our extreme left the ground sloped off until the po
sition was no higher than the enemy’s. The ground
m front of our line was a level, open country, inter
posed here and there with an orchard or a very
small tract of timber, generally oak, with under
brush cut away.
Thursday’s Battle.
Qmet prev iled until 4J P. M. Some ofthe
troops improved the time by throwing up tempora
ry breastworks and an abattis. The correspondent
of the limes says:
Whether or no it was Gen. Meade’s intention to
attack, I cannot say. but he was hardly ready fpr
it before the afternoon. The day had become
almo t dull Skirmishing was now and then brisk,
and the sharpshooters in the steeples and belfrys
of the churche persi tently blazed away at officers
and artillery horses. At' 31o’ clock, Gem Meade had
received sufficient assurances to justify - him in the
belief that the rebels were concentrating their forces
on oar left flank The silence of the enemy , was
ominous. At half past 4 o clock a terrific cannon
ade opened uponour centre and left, from the rebel
drattene which had been placed in position, having
been masked by the woods and -grain fields. Our
rifled guns replied with awful power and telling
effect. For two hours the air seemed literally filled
with the messengers of death. Suddenly a wild,
demoniac yell arose from thousands ot rebel throats
near the extreme left'of our line, where the enemy
made his great attack. Sickles’ corps sustained this
first terrific onset. ~ As soon as the design of
the rebels became apparent, a large number of
pieces of reserve artillery were massed, in a splen
did position to oppose the rebel infantry. At this
time the centre and left pushed the rebels, with loud
cheers, from point to point, through the valley and
up-the heights beyond.
The enemy was secreted behind trees, rooks, and
hedges, and in many places were bayoneted by our
troops, or taken prisoners. A space of several
hundred yards was covered by skirmishers situated
between the left of the 2d Corps. Ist ‘ Division and
the right of the next corp~ on the left. The rebels
threw forward a heavy column of infantry, over
powering the skirmrhers and filling the gap, deliv
ering at the same time a deadly flank fire: upon
our forces. It was then th t the gallant Colonel E.
Cross, of the sth New Hampshire. Volunteers,
commanding the Ist brigade. Ist division. 2d corps,
fell mortally wounded, also Gen. Zook of Now York
2d brigade. Our forces at this point were compell
ed to retire, hut only for a short distance, as they
were soon relieved by fresh troops. In the mean
time the rebels were slowly gaining ground on our
left, and advancing in line of battle by brigades de
livering volley after-volley. I have heard more
noise, louder crashes in other battles, but I never
saw or heard of such desperate tenacious fighting as
took place on this flank. The enemy would often
bring up suddenly a heavy column of men, and
force our line back, only to be in turn forced back,
by our own line of glittering steel Our gll nt
columns covered themselves with glory over and
over ogam. They fought a superior force m num
bers. The dispositions of„ the enemy were very
rapid, for look where you would on that field a body.
of rebels would be advancing. Our dispositions
were equally rapid, and the enemy found more than,
their equal in such gallant voter ns as Sickle and
Birney and Humphreys At half past six General
Sickles was struck in the right leg by a piece of
shell, and borne from the field. . The injury was so
great that amputation became necessary aud it
was performed successfully—the limb being taken
off below the knee. The struggle grew hot
ter nd hotter Tour several time the rebels
charged upon that part of the army which was
posted across the open plain, and four several
times were ’ they repulsed with terrible, slaugh
ter. The second corps was called on for aid,
and though it~ own po ltion was strongly threaten
ed- yet the.first division, formerly Gen. Hancock's
flung themselves into the fight with desperation,
and after a long and obstinate conflict the enemy
slowly and sullenly gave way. In this last charge
i the brigade of Gen. Caldwell. Second corps, and
| that of Col. Switzer, from the Fifth corps, won
! great honors. The promptness with which this
great flank movement of Lee was met and check
mated reflects the highest credit upon the general
commanding. Indeed, the troops were handled
with consummate ability during the entire day.
Gen. Meade was on the field, and often under very
heavy fire, having everything under lus own eye
and supervision. The rebels made frequent at
tempts to capture our artillery, and at one time had
Watson’s battery in their possession, but it was
retaken in a furious charge byßirney’s division.
The battle lasted till lully 8£ o’clock, when, the
enemy fell back to his old positidn, and left om- vet
erans the ensanguined victors of that field. Oar
pickets were thrown out, and our lines covered most
of the field, including a great number of the enemy's
dead and wounded.
I visited some portions of the line by moonlight,
and can bear personal witness to the terrible ferocity
of the battle. In front of some of our brigades) who
had good Protection from stone walls or fences,* the
rebel dead lay piled in lines like winrows of hay.
In front of Gen. Webb’s—the Philadelphia—brigade,
they lay so thick as to literally cover the ground.
Not far from here was found the body of General
Barksdale, that pnce haughty and violent rebel, who
craved as a dying boon a cup of water,and a. stretch
er from an ambulance boy. He is literally out to
pieces with wounds, and must die- A great and
magnificent feature of this fight is the splendid use
of artillery. Though our ling of battle was only a
mile and a half long, yet almost every battery
belonging to the Army of the Potomac was more or
Stinnitati and dkttfjscf (EonijcUat.
less engaged. Everyone of the reserve batteries
was brought into action, the positions for use being
numerous. The enemy also used artillery largely,
but not to so great an extent as we did. From this
they suffered .immensely, and specially on the left,
where canister was largely used. I believe we lost
no artillery, unless it was two or three disabled
pieces, though it was very wonderful we did n'ot.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to the rank and
file of our noble veteran Army of the Potomac, who
have made one of the greatest marches on record of
near two hundred miles, part of the time during
the most intense heat, and at the rate of twenty or
thirty miles per day, with knapsack, gun, rations,
and eight pounds of ammunition to each man.
Friday's: Battle.
On Friday evening. July 3rd. at SJ P.M', Gen.
Meade sent the. following, dispatch:— 1 From the
Field near Gettyslmrg—To Major-Gen. JUalleclc,
Commander-m-Chief—The enemy opened at IP.M-.
from about ,150 guns concentrated upon my left cen
tre, continuing without intermission forabout three
hours, at the expiration of which time lie assaulted
my left centre twice, being, upon both occasions,
h ndsomely repulsed with severe loss to him, leav
mg in our hands nearly 3000 prisoners, among them
being General Armistoad and many Colonels and
■officers of less note. , The enemy left many dead on
the field,, and a largo -number of wounded m our
hands. The loss upon our side has been considera
'ble —Mojur-Generaf Hancock and Bngadior Gen
Gibbon were wounded. After the repelling of the
assault-, indications leading to the belief that the
enemy might be withdrawing, an armed reconois
sance was pushed forward from the left, and the
enemy found'to be in force. At the present hour
all is quiet. My cavalry have been engaged all
day. on both flanks of the enemy, harassing and
vigorously attacking him with great success, not
withstanding they encountered superior numbers,
both of cavalry and infantry. The army is in fine
spirits. George G. Meade, Major-General Com
manding.” ■
The Tribune in its account of Thursday’s and
Friday’s battles, speakes of a furious encounter, on
the evening of Thursday, upon our right, held by
Slocnm, in which the enemy under Ewell after
gaining some advantage, was checked and the bat
tle ceased at 9j o’clock P. M. The battle of Thurs
day commenced with a desperate struggle on the
part of Slocum to recover the lost ground including
some rifle pits left in the enemy’s possession. The
correspondent says: On Friday morning, at 4
o'clock, Slocum’s line opened a terrific fire on
Ewell’s men.. The enemy responded in amost furi
ous dharge, i for which mode of fighting they are
justly pelcbrated. The fighting on Thursday on
the left, where Longstreet and Hill fought with
most terrible desperation for three hours, and the
subsequent battle on the right by Ewell, were re
garded by the , oldest officers-in the army as the
most obstinate and deadly contest of the war: Offi
cers and men lay dead in fearful numbers. - But the
enemy’s charge in response to Slocum’s fire seemed
ten times more furious. With fiendish yell and
such contempt of death, during six full hours they
hurled their solid masses against the well-defended
lines. The National troops stood like a wall of fire,
whose flaming tongues enwrapped in death what
ever came - near. Nothing during the war has
equalled this six hours : of carnage. In ■ front of
Grang’s position were more rebel dead than the
number of the entire list of casualties in the 12th
Corps. The dead were lying literally in heaps,
many hit in all manner of degrees, from a clean shot
through the head to bodies torn to pieces by ex
ploding shells. At 10 o’clock Slocum bad repulsed
and driven back tbe enemy at every point, and re
occupied bis original position. The battle ceased at 11
o’clock, and there was a pause like to the stillness of
death resting for three hours on the living and dead.
At one o’clock the firing was renewed at different
points along the line with a fierceness premonitory
of the terrific engagement that ensued. Several
charges wore made by the rebels as feints, their
troops falling back after the first rush in every part
of the field, except that held by their forees under
Gen Ewell, who was seen to concentrate the infan-*
try and artillery together, and who soon opened a
murderous fire of cannon on our left centre* Then
tbe engagement began in earnest. The firing be
came a continuous roar; battery after battery was
discharged with a swiftness amazing; yell on yell
from the rebels succeeded each gust of shot and
shell, until the valley—overhung with smoke from
whence these horrible sounds issued —seemed alive
with demons. It appeared at times as though not
a foot of air was free from the hail of missiles that
tore over and through our ranks, thinned, but not
shaken. Our men stood the shock .with a courage'
sublime—an endurance so wonderful as to dim even
the heroic record of the band that fell upon the acre
of Tourney. The corps against which this deadly
fire was mainly directed was the Second, the posi
tion being commanded by General Hayes. Horses
were Bhot down by- scores, gun-carriages were de
raoli 1 ed pieces dismounted, caissons exploded,
whole batteries were swept away, and cannomers
and officers killed and wounded m numbers almost
incredible. No le than fifteen caissons were ex
ploded on the heights, and two regular batteries on
the nght of the cemetery were completely demol
ished. Much of the enemy s firing was wild, and
scattered near and far over the field. Gen. Meade’s
headquarter - were forced to take refuge behind-the
rooks no r Gen. Slocum’s headquarters. General
Howard s headquarters were in the cemetery, and
were raked in a fearful manner; men fell all around
him. but himself and staff escaped* The silent
abode of tbe dead was made, tbe theatre of deadly
conflict. Tombstones and beautiful monuments
were demolished; great holes were tom in the earth
by tbe explosion ot shells, and tbe surface-checker
ed with farrows. The artilleiy fire continued with
out intermission for three hours, when suddenly,
having been formed under cover of the smoke of
their own guns, tbe rebel troops were burled against
our lines by their officers m masses, tbe very tread
of whose feet shook the declivity np which they
.came, with ones that might have caused less daunt
less troops than those who awaited the onset, to
break with terror.' Not a man in the Union ranks
flinched from his position. Not an eye turned to
the right or left in search of security— not a hand
trembled as the long array of our heroes grasped
their muskets at a charge, and waited the order to
fire. On'and up came the enemy, hooting, crowd
ing, showing-tlieir very teeth in the venom of their
rage, until within thirty yards of their cannon. As
the turbulent mass of gray uniforms, of flashing
bayonets and gleaming eyes, lifted itself in a last
leap:forward almost-to the very mouths of ourguns,
a volley of shot, shell, sohrapnel and bullets went
crashing through it, levelling it as with a scythe.
The carnage of this assault among the rebels was so
fearful that even Union soldiers, who rested on their
arms triumphant, after the foe had retreated be
yond their fire, as they cast their eyes downward
upon the panorama of deaths and wounds, illumi
nated by the sun that shone upon the slope before
them, were seen to shudderand turn sickening away.
A correspondent of the Times thus describes the
rebel charge, and capture of abrigadebyourmen:—
The® there was a lull, and we knew that the rebel
infantry was charging. And splendidly they did this
work—the highest and severest test of the stuff that
soldiers are made of- Hill’s division, in line of bat
tle, came first, on the double-quick, their muskets
at the light shoulder shift.” Longstreet’s Came
as the support, at the usual distance, with war
cries and a savage insolence as yet untutoredby
defeat* They rushed in perfect order across tbe
open field, up to the very muzzles of tbe guns, which
tore lanes through them as they came. But they
met nuett who were their equals in spirit, and their
, superiors in tenacity. There never was better fight
ing since Thennopyl® than was done yesterday by
our infantry and' artillery. The rebels were over
our defences. They had cleared cannoniers and
horses from one of the guns, and were whirling it
around to use upon ns. The bayonet drove them
back. Butso hard'pressed was this brave infantry
that at i ne time from the exhaustion of then am
munition every battery upon the prinoipal crest of
attack was silent, except Crowen’s. His service of
grape and canister was awful. It enabled our line,
outnumbered two to one. first to beat back Long
street, and then to charge upon him,.and take a
great number of his men and himself prisoners.
Strange sight! So terrible was our musketry and
artillery fire, that when Armstead s brigade was
checked in its charge, and stood reeling, all of its
men dropped their muskets, and crawled on their
hands and knees, underneath the stream ot shot,
till close to.our troops, where they made signs of
surrendering. They passed through our ranks
scarcely noticed, and slowly went down the slope to
the road in the rear-
The battle according to another correspondent,
was not yet over General Meade was not deceived
.in anticipating another onslaught. Lee s columns
were collected: and reformed with magical haste.:
.Within an hour what seemed to be-his whole force
was. again massed directly m our front, where the
contest .once more opened. The assault this time
was made with a fury even surpassing that of the
first. It would scenes if the entire rebel army had
resolved itself mto A-gigantic Forlorn Hope and
bore in its collective bosom the consciousness that
the effort now made was the last and only one that
could be made towards retrieving the fortunes of
that army, or preventing the inevitable disgrace
which hovered over it, It is said by rebel prison
ers taken m the latter part of the engagement, that
this charge was led by Lee in person. This assault
.was m like.manner repulsed, and our men, in turn,
pressed forward and drove the rebels from their
position. .Offensive movements, were not initiated
to any extant by our: victorious army. They had
achieved everything that could have been demanded
of them ; and Mr. Lincoln’s modest but congratula
tory order on the Fourth of. July was timely and
judicious.:

Retreat of the Enemy.
On Sabbath July sth, it became evident that Lee
had retreated.' Their rear guard was believed to
have passed through Emmcttsburg in Md., on the
night of Saturday. A telegram was received in
Washington from Gen. French at Frederick stating
that he had justsucceedcdin destroying the enemy’ s
Pontoon bridge over the Potomac at Williamsport.
As the river has been swollen by recent rains so
as to be unfordable f it does not appear how Lee
can cross unless he passes as high up as Hancock,
in which case our victorious army could reach the
valley of the Shenandoah before the arrival of Lee.
It has been surmised that the bridge destroyed was
not at Williamsport? but at Falling Waters, six
miles below ; the bridge at Williamsport being too
strongly, guarded for our party to reach it. Our
cavalry are on the edemay’s rear, and on Saturday
it was said that.Col.] Kilpatrick, had captured a
retreating train of, wagons, with 900 prisoners
and 2 giins, near Monterey. Gen. Couch’s troops
from Harrisburg were promptly sent forward, while
Gen. Pierce, with Gen MilrOy’s late command,
arrived at Chambersburg from the West on the sth,
and pushed on to Greencastle ‘where he captured
560 prisoners, ten wagon and 3 guns. On Sabbath
afternoon, the 12th corps of our army having been
preceded by cavalry, commenced the pursuit of the
enemy’ moving from Gettysburg towards Wil
liamsport. At 2 P.' M. General Mead’s Head
quarters were at Creagerstown and would be
in Frederick on Monday. This movement is doubt
less designed to cover Washington_from any sudden
movement of the still powerful remnant of Lee’s
army. A despatch Received by Gen. Couch at
Harrisburg, July 6, stated that Gen. Gregg, with a
force of Gen. Pleasonton’s cavalry, had an engage ■
•ment to-day at Fayetteville, in which lie took 4,000
prisoners. Fayetteville is between Oashtown and
Chambersburg, on the east Of South Mountain.—
After disposing of his prisoners, • Gen. Gregg took

Deed at Fort Herman, Kentucky, of chronic diarrhoea, April 21st,
James B, Lyons, Company B, 111th Ills. Vole., aged 19 years, 2
months and 11 days.
He wfts the son of a Ruling Elder of the Reformed Presbyterian
church at Unity, Washington county, Illinois. He was a youth of
superior mind, had made some considerable progress toward a libe
ral education, and it was the wish of his parents that he should be
prepared ft r the ministry.
. But the rebellion broke out and interfered with his studies, as It
did with those of many another promising youth of the land. He
entered the service with his eyes open'; knew what he was fighting
for, and has laid down his lifoa martyr to the cause of our country,
—the cause'of justice and equal rights. His parents offered liim
willingly, and although he was the first-boni, ayouth of more than
ordinary talents, who they bad hoped might one day bo honored of
God to preach the everlasting Gospel; yet they submit to the will
of God without a murmur, without one vain regret that they gave
him to God and their country* His companiona-in-arena bear honor
able testimony to his worth. He was much beloved py all.
There are one or two incidents worth leaving bn record.' He was
a member of a Bible class* which included the young men of his ago
in the congregation. One Sabbath, the seat was full; the next, It
was empty; the.whole class had volunteered and gone in the same
company. Aud when the pastor visited thorn after they had enter
ed the service* he found that the Bible class was still kept up. pa
rents signed as they missed tlicir sons at the family altar,.but how
their hearts rejoiced when they learned that these youths assem
bled daily in their tent, and there sung tho sweet songs of Zion—
read God s word together, and each took their turn leadiuiriu
-prayer. a
5 Among such companions, the subject of this notiee died. They
watched by bis dying cot as he vainly looked for his father, who
was ignorant .of his illness. By them he was buried lu the soldiers'
grave.* And,as we believe, he “Remembered his Creator in the
his youte, w we trust his soul has mine to God. Ten days'
afterwards, his remains were brought home in aiiiet&lic coffin, amid
kindred dust, while many weeping friends stood around his grave.

Tile Rev. JVC. Pletclier gave us last evening a brilliant
lecture on the religion, customs and people of Brazil. Seldom have
wo relished anything mere than the picture he laid before his audi
ence of that exuberant garden of the tropics , iadep with its strange
variety of fruits ana flowers, teeming with perpetual harvest for the
hand of man. Surely that country.must he the garden of the world,
and if its people had thee lterprise which moves this Yankee nation,
imagination could not set a bound to theresults they would produce
there.' As relevant to this comparison the Reverend gentleman sta
ted that the.best Remedies employed there for the diseases to which
they are subject, are invented and supplied to them by our own well
known countryman, Dr. J. C. Ayer, of Lowell, Mass.,and that not the
people only but fhe.priesthood and the court of the Emperor down,
have constant recourse in sickness to the Remedies of this widely
celebrated American Chemist.—-{Ledger, Boston.

THE RICHABDSOH PREMIUM
BURIAL CASKETS.
Draped inside throughout with Cashmere, Satin, or
other material, and constructed substantially air-tight
by the novel invention of patent Circular Ends, with
out any joints, makiag.it impossible for oxygen to pe
netrate from tno outsid.6f thus rendering 1 tnem more
durable, and better adapted to the purposes for which
they are needed.
Theyare tastefully manufactured from grained Rose
wood, Mahogany, Black Walnut; and other materials
that render them less expensive and place them with
in the means of persons of moderate circumstances,
and all finished according, to the wishes and taste of
those giving the orders. -
While the Casket retains all the requisites of an ap
propriate receptacle for the dead, its construction and
appearance.is such, as entirely to doaway.witb all dis
agreeable and unpleasant sensations. There is noth •
ing in the arrangement or shape of the Casket, that is
in the remotest degree repulsive, but quite the con
trary, it is beautiful, And surely .that which tends in
any degree to soften the poignancy of grief
hour of bereavement, must commend itself to the fa
vorable consideration of every afflicted heart, and
sympathizing friend,
‘ The Caskets when required, are made air-tight,
emitting iio offensive odor, and hence tee specially
valuable in the removal of deceased bodies from any

dead with perfect safety, no matter how long buried,}

which is so repugnant to the feelings. By the use of
this Preserver, the funeral maybe deferred for weeks,
if nCeessary,' to await the arrival of absent friends, as
Kyi the cold iair process, the -corpse will keep much
