A TABIFP
The manufacturing interests of this countrv
never required a protective tariff to a greater ex
tent, and the National treasury a tariff for revenue
more, than at this very time. Wages liavc ad
vanced, the new tax bill levies its quota on every
manufactured article, in some shape—if not on the
raw material before it is fit for usemoney is a
drug in Europe, and besides all this, the recent
course of England and France (especially the for
mer) towards this government clearly demonstrates
our policy to be to firottct our capital as well as
labor against that selfish and barbarous govern
ment by a tariff that will completely stop the sale
of any article with “ British” marked on it, that
comes in competition with the same thing made
in this countiy. At all events the tariff should be
so high as to give our own people at least an even
chance. Notwithstanding this, Congress has been
in session seven months—Pennsylvania has more
than twenty representatives there, one of whom is
chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means
—and yet we sec no move made by .any of them,
in a practical way, to protect her labor and her
citizens. When the question is as to endorsing a
Jiarticnlar General, throwing one out and putting
one in (questions with which they have nothing
to do', very fortunately) or in deciding a policy for
the President, about which it will be time enough
for them to interfere when he consults them or
asks their opinion, there is always a great anxiety
for them to get the boot;; and the speeches whicli
they flood the countiy with, under the franking
privilege, os to the “negro, his rights and privi
leges, 1 ’ attest the jealous eye with which they
watch each other, that no one will get a length
ahead in the race for negro equality. This may
be all very well. Every one is entitled to his own
opinions on this ■as on even- other question of
State or National policy. But would it not be
. well for some of oar Pennsylvania members to
exert themselves in a practical manner that
would be felt by their constituents and the people
of their qwn State, as an immediate benefit to
them? We trust-this matter of a tariff will re
ceive attention before Congress adjourns. They
bad better follow “ Old Abe's" policy as to the
vexed question connected with domestic slaverv,
and devote themselves more to an honest endeav
or to benefit their constituents by wholesome and
judicious legislation, that will aid the government
in raising the means to crush out this wicked and
unholy rebellion.
A Season for the Treachery
We have received a statement from one of the
traitor delegates at the late •‘People's" County Con
vention, at Hollidaysburg, apologizing and explain
ing the reason of his for vote for Blair against the
positive instructions of the people. The statement
only makes the matter 'appear in a worse light
than we viewed it before. We advise this gentle
man that he had better first satisfy the people of
his own township of the reason for his treachery,
before he undertakes an explanation of his course
to us. It is tiikv he' misrepresented, and justly
indignant do they feel at him. If he preferred
Mr. Blair, why did he not say so before, or at. the
delegate election. But worse than this, he told
one of the proprietors of this paper, the morning
of the Convention at Hollidaysburg, that he was
for Mr. Hall, both because personally he was for
him, as well as because he was instructed. He had
better attempt no apology'. The future mav ex
hibit a ration for his vote. In the meantime we
desire no further statements from him to enlighten
us of his motives. We think they are plain
enough. The people of his township will not
likely soon trouble hitn again with a like errand.
His mind won’t bear the shock of such sudden
changes. He sees 'double too easy.
Death of Coe. S. . Black.—The report of
the late battle before Richmond, published in an
other column, confirms the previously received in
telligence of the death of Col. Samuel W. Black,
of the ,62d Pa. Beg. It is stated that he was
killed, like the lamented Murray, by a ball in the
head, while gallantly leading on his men. Col. B.
first appeared prominently before the public in 1840,
when he took an active part in favor of Gen Har
rison in the Presidential campaign of that year.—
In 1844 he advocated the election of James K.
Polk, and ever since acted with the Democratic
party. He passed through the Mexican war as
Lieutenant Colonel of the First Pennsylvania Reg
iment, About 1857 he was appointed Governor
of Nebraska Territory, which office he held until
after the inauguration of President Lincoln. On
returning home he was r solicited to raise a regiment
which he finally consented to do. The regiment
was soon filled up, and so eager were men to fight
under him that two additional companies were as
signed him, making his regiment 1200 strong.—
His men were assigned to responsible positions,
being almost constantly On picket duty. They all
loved their Colonel and it must be hard for them
to part with him, as there arc but few who could
fill hi* place in their affections, either as a soldier
or as a man. He was about forty-eight rears of
age, and leaves a wife and family.
The Latest.
The latest news is to tbe effect that Gens. Pope
and Burnside, with portions of their commands,
have joined Gen. McClellan 'and the fall of Rich
mond is momentarily expected.
A letter signed by the different Governors of
die loyal States to ,the President, has effected nn
order calling out immediately 300,000 more troops!
ggptXhe rebels are tearing op the railroad tracks
rapidly, and potting down their own tracks still

Gen. Pope’s Command. —Most of our readers
arc aware that Gen. Pope has been assigned to the
command of the Department of Virginia, which
embraces the commands of McDowell, Fremont
and Banks. Heretofore these commands have
been gctjng separately, and the late order consoli
dates them.into one army under one head. This
movement is certainly a good one, and the man
placed at tire head has proved himself to be all a
soldier and a General. With these commands
united it most be evident that much more can he
accomplished than by leaving them to act indepen
dently, under generals of the same rank.
On the announcement of Gen. Pope’s appoint
ment to the chief command, Gen. Fremont im
mediately requested to be relieved of his command,
giving his reason that the position assigned him
under Gen. Pope wits subordinate and inferior to
those heretofore held by him, and would largely
reduce his rank and consideration in the service.
A Patriotic Voice from Kentucky.
A banquet was given at Louisville, Ky., on the
evening of the IGth ult., to General Lovell H.
Rousseau, the first gallant son of that Common
wealth who raised a force to support the. Union
while she stood unpatriotically neutral and the
cloud of treason lowered darkest, and has proved
his courage and fidelity on more than one hard
fought field. ; A speech of welcome and honor was
made in his behalf by*Hon. James Guthrie, for
mer Secretary of the Treasury under Pierce, who
did not follow Breckinridge in his treason. In
responding General Rousseau made the following
capital remarks.
He tells them plainly that the army is. growing
tired of tills “insane ety of abolitionism’ as ‘a
cause of breaking up the Government,’and if
‘this’war continues a year from this day, there
will not be a slave on the continent."
“ I desire to state that this rebellion is a lie from
the beginning. There was never any cause for it.
To begin and keep it up a system of wholesale
lying was adopted and is pursued industriously to
this day. Wherever the army has gone it has
met this fell spirit of falsehood. We have taken
none of their property ; we have placed guards of
onr soldiers around their houses to protect them—
and yet they jiersisl in calling us abolitionists and
negro thieves. And in spite of onr disclaimers
and our soldiers' assertions to the contrary —of our
words and acts —they have insisted that onr ob
ject is to literate and steal their slaves.
"And if we fail to restore the Union, ‘the ever
lasting nigger’ will be the cause of the failure. They
know what they say is false, yet they never cease
repeating it. Behind and before us this has teen
■the cry of the enemies of the government.- The
army in its intercourse with the secessionists has
pleaded, and is still pleading for peace under the
old government, offering to our southern hrethem
all they ever had, and claiming nothing except in
common with them. They want to take nothing
from any one, but desire their southern hrethem
shall enjoy all their rights unimpaired.
"But the negro is in the way in spite of all that
can be done or said. Standing before the eye of
the secessionist, the negro hides all the blessings of
our government, throw ing a black shadow- on the
sun itself. If it had teen any other species of
property that stood in the way, the army, pro
voked ast it lues teen, would willingly have seen
its quick destruction. But the negro’they did not
wish to interfere with in any way. But,’with all
its conservatism and patriotism, the army has
grown wean- of this insane cry of ‘ abolitionism '
as a cause for breaking up the government. ' I
“I have warned our southern friends of the
danger of continuing it much longer, and I tell
you to night that if this war continues a vear
from this day, there will not be a slave on this
continent. The great revolution will take care of
itself—the dead will bury its dead—and those
who are causing all the bloodshed and desolation
around us, under the false pretence tliat we de
sire to free the negroes, will, if they persist, one
day, find slavery snuffed out as you snuff out a
candle. Slavery is not worth our government..-
Slavery is not worth our liberty. It is not worth
all the precious blood now being poured opt for
freedom. It is not worth the free navigation of
the Mississippi river.
"I am for the government of our fathers against
all things and even-body. While the liberties of
die people are secure under it, as they ever have
been, I would allow nothing but death to prevent
my upholding it. I am ready for the responsi
bility. A southern man, as I am,' horn and
brought up in the south, with all my sympathies
with the south, I could not hesitate one moment j
when the issue is presented between the nigger ;
and the government of our fathers. I am for the !
government of the United States against all its !
enemies. j
I hope and pray that our southern friends will
not force as to extremes on this sensitive point.—
We deprecate such a result, for we want our
rights under the Constitution, and we are all ready
to fight for theirs under the good old goverment.—
I would to-day gird on my sword and fight for any
right belonging to them, slavery included;; biit
they mast not put slavery between me and the gov
ernment and laws of the United States. I will
not consent to become a slave' that the negro- may
be kept a slave. I will not sacrifice the happiness
of my wife, children and friends, the welfare of
my beloved State, and the glory of jny country on
an altar dedicated to the‘Ebonv Ido!.’”
A soldier writing from the Burnside Di
vision, near Newhern, North Carolina, gives a
graphic description of picket duty in the swamps
of that region:
The boys are heartily disgusted with this kind
of picket duty, for the swamps are full of all man
ner of crawling and creeping things, such as rat
tlesnakes, moccasins, scorpions, centipedes, chame
leons, frogs of every description, spiders, wood
ticks, bugs, and now and then a big bear: but
worst of all are the thunder-storms that prevail in
this region. Nothing like them is seen or beard
in old Connecticut: and you can imagine it is not
the jileaaantest duty to stand all night on picket in
a North Carolina swamp, the rain pouring down
as if Long Island Sound was taken up above us
and turned 'bottom side up, and the lightening
dancing about among the tops of the pines, while
the water is gradually rising higher about vour
iegs. till you find you are in the center of an in
land lake when the sun dawns upon the scene.
But there is nothing which our brave, boys are not
willing to do for their country, and that, too, with
ont a murmur.

ing.
The dispatches states that a severe and most
determined battle was fought on the right wing
on Thursday and Friday, which is claimed bv some
of our officers as a successful strategic movement,
driving the enemy immediately into a trap whicli
will soon capture Richmond and the entire rcliel
army.
The attack was made by the rebels in immense
force, who crossed the Chickahominy near the
railroad above Mechanicsville on Thursdav after
noon.
The rebels fought desperately, bat were unable
to drive our men a single rod, though the cnemv
j were ten to one. The only force engaged that
j day was McCall’s division. The battle lasting from
i two o'clock till nine P. M., when the division was
ordered back.
Gen. McClellan was on the field, and expressed
: himself satisfied with the result.
Another report is also published, dated June
27thj which states that our killed, wounded and
missing will number twelve hundred.
The object of tire movement was to bring Gen.
Porter’s and other divisions into close connection
with the rest of the army, in fact changing the
from of the whole of our forces, with our centre
and left pressing immediately on Richmond itself,
which could be done and was expected on Satur
. day. It was a virtual surrender or vacating of a
long line of defence, heretofore kept up. to Me
chanicsville, in order to have the whole force
within a more effective distance, also to allow the
rebels to follow up and, if possible,-to bag them.
Gen. McClellan ordered Gen. Porter to with
draw to two miles this side of Gaines’ Mills early*
on H»day morning, which was done, the enemy
following and thinking they had gained the vic
tory, our troops slowly moving back in order, light
ing as they went,crossing the chickahominy. and
reached the position designed for their occupation
by General McClellan, the rebels followed in great
force, and by three o’clock in the afternoon a gen
eral and heavy engagement occurred here lasting
till seven o clock, when a lull took place, but the
rebels again renewed it with greater ferocity, hav
ing been reinforced. Our brave men stood the
unequal contest like heroes, and the shell, grape
and musketry did fearful havoc. Our forces were
increased by General Slocums. Palmer’s, French’s
and Meagher's brigades, and the rebels were beaten !
badly. Neagle’s-brigade went into the battle with
their coats off, and sleeves rolled up to fight like
tigers.
The ground which General McClellan ordered
General Pqrter to occupy and hold, was occupied
and. held in the first part of the dav. General
Porters’s corps only contended against the rebels,
but subsequently ,reinforcements swelled our num
bers to 45,000. The rebels had 60,000 under Gen
erals Lee, Hill, Anderson and Branch.
Among the killed are Col. Black and Lieut.
Col. Sweitzer, of the G2d Pennsylvania, Col. Gane,
of the 22d Massachusetts. l ;, Col. Koterts. ot the Ist
Michigan, Col. M'Quadc and Lieut. Col. Shellen.

Correspondence of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Falk Oaks Station'. Va., June 27
Towards evening, yesterday, heavy and con
tinued firing was heard, coming from !he direction
of the locality w here are stationed Generals McCall
and Fitz John Porter's divisions, on the west hank
of the Chickahominy. indicating that a lively skir
mish was progressing. This morning early we
proceeded in that direction, in order to get the
particulars, and learned that some time during the
morning, the enemy, numbering some twentv-five
thousand, under the command of General Branch,
crossed the above named stream, over the meadow
bridge, and following down the west hank-, they
soon found themselves in the immediate vicinity of
our troops under Gen. McCall. He being apprised
of their coming, had'his men drawn up in line of
battle, preparing to give them a hearty welcome.
The Rebels commenced the firing, which was at
once returned by our forces, and was kept up
without intermission until near seven o’clock, our
loss in killed and wounded being trifling, when wc
consider the rapid and successive firing, and the
time occupied in the engagement, while that of the
rebels mast be very heavy, from the fact that sev
eral of our best batteries were on hand and suc
ceeded in doing good and efficient service.
During the afternoon. Gen. Fitz John Porter
inarched to the relief of Gen. McCall, his rein
forcements coming in just at the nick of time, and
us to maintain our position during the
night, against an overwhelming force, even with
the addition of these reinforcements.
This morning, however, the commands of Gen
erals McCall and Porter fell back from the posi
tion they held during the night, and halted and
formed a line of battle some three miles in the rear
of, and near to the house of the Rebel Gaines.—
This retreat, if it may be so called, was hr. no
means a forced one, but was done voluntarily.’ and
in all probability to secure a better position. Where
they could he nearer the main body, and hence te
more readily reinforced, should they need them.
This retirement was done In a quiet and orderly
manner, the retreat being covered by the First.
Second and Fifth Pensylvania Reserves, who
promptly returned the fire’of the rebels, who were
following.
These portions of the two armies .are now face
to face, and they may at any moment commence
anew the engagement.
During the fight, yesterday, one company of
the First Pennsylvania, Buc’ktail Reserve Regi
ment was entirely surrounded, and all were taken
prisoners. Some few, however. . managed to es
cape. but were compelled to leave their dead and
wounded comrades in the hands of the enemy.—
Among the number in this regiment who were
wounded, we gather the following:
Capt. Irwin and Lieut. Welsh of Company Iv.
Captain Irwin, however, managed to effect his es
cape. The regiment covered themselves with
glory, winning from their officers the highest meed
of praise; from early in the afternoon until this;
morning, they were actively engaged and in the
thickest of the fight.
The Pennsylvania Reserve are deserving, too. 1
of their wellrearned praise : throughout the fight i
they stood their ground against an unequal force, I
ana in front of a galling fire. Their conduct upon ‘
this occasion does honor to the Keystone State. j

THE BATTLE AT CHARLESTON. • Evacuation of James Island.
Repulse of the Union Forces,
YobK. June 27. —The steamship Phila
delphia has arrived from Beaufort, and the Erics
son from Key West, with dates to the 18th.-and
from Port Kora! to the 23d. The latter brings
181 passengers, including General Benham and
stall - , and fifty-seven solflft-s wounded in the late
engagement on Janies Island, near Charleston.
Thu account of the tight copied from the Charles
ton {tapers is correct. The Cnitcd States troops,
under General Benham, made an attack, at 4
o'clock on the morning of the Kith insl.. and were
repulsed, after four hours' hand fighting, with a
loss of 658 killed, wounded, and missing. The
Michigan Bth had but 250 men left at roll call.
The New York 79th also suffered severely. The
Union troops were obliged to retreat under cover
of the gunboats.
Col. Perry, of the 18th New York Volunteers,
died at Fort Pulaski, June 18th, of apoplexy.
Gen. Brannon, from Key West, was expected
daily at Pott Koval.
The Ericsson landed the 7th New Hampshire,
six companies of the 19th New York, and four
companies of the Ist Regular Artillery, at Port
Koval.
DETAILS OK JHE BATTLE OS JAMES ISLAND OEN
BENHAM UNDER ARREST.
New Yokk, June 27.— The New York Express
says that General Benham is understood to be un
der arrest, with orders to report to Washington.
It is stated that General Hunter left James Island
on the I2th, leaving General Benham in command,
with orders to make no advance towards Charles
ton without reinforcements or further orders.
It was reported by deserters that the whole rebel
force at Secessionville was but two battalions, with
six guns mounted, and seven more readv for use.
The reeomioisanee was made the 16t'h.- Gen.
Stevens, with 4,000 men, was to make the attack
iU daybreak, while General Wright and Colonel
V illiams, with 3.000 men, were to support him.
Somehow, the movement was delayed an hour,
and, as our troops marched up through a plain
field in broad daylight, they were met bv a mur
derous fire of grape and canister. Two regiments
only reached the front, and were much cut up
namely, the Bth Michigan and 79th New York.
The 28eh Massachusetts broke and scattered, and
the 46fh New York did little better. The first
two regiments drove the gunners from the guns,
and some even penetrated the works, but, other
regiments failing to support them, they had' to re
tire alter holding the battery twenty minutes.
In the meantime Colonel Williams coming to
their support, was separated by a marsh from the
tort, and exposed to a severe cross-fire from some
rebel guns in the woods. His troops, consisting of
the 3d New- Harajishire and 3d Rhode Island

TnkiiTMnM ni , - _ , MOLLDERd* XOOIit. f‘
Inhuman Slaveholders- hied cage- and wire ok»od>
window glass.
The A'. O. Delta, gives an account of the bar
barous treatment of a slave woman by one Wil
liam T. Hunter, a violent rebel. It appears that
information had been received by the military au
thorities that Hunter had arms and military accou
trements concealed in his house, aud an officer
was sent to search for them. Hunter was absent,
and his wife directed a negro woman to show the
officer through the house. The negro woman
afterwards left the house, whereupon Mrs. Hunter
visited the officer and stated the fact. The officer
promptly secured the return of the slave, at the
same time telling her mistress that she had not
given him any information, and ought not to be
punished. \V hat followed is thus narrated bv the
Delta, from which it will be seen that this outrage
upon humanity was summarily punished bv Gen
Butler; ’ ■ *
" The moment the officer retired the girl was
locked up to await the return of her master.—
When Mr. Hunter returned and ascertained what
had occurred, he demanded of his wife. ; Whv she
had not shot the damned Yankees/ She retorted.
‘ They took away my arms. Upon this. Hunter
went to the closet and took from it a heavy riding
whip and beat the servant over the bead in such a
manner as to cause heavy bunches. He then took
her down into the back yard, chained her feet to
a block, the mistress, who claims to be one of the
ladies of Aew Orleans, fastening the shackles to
the block. The husband and wife then threw the
servant down upon her back, fastened her bands
to the feet of another servant, who was forced to
hold the girl out to her full length. The suspected
girl was then subjected to head-shaving; her clothe?
were next removed, and Hunter beat the exhausted
creature with the horsewhip, until he was toothed
to stand. He then called for a chair and s a t
down aud finished the brutal beating in a sitting
posture. The screams of the sufferer attracted the
attention of the neighborhood.
One neighbor sent intelligence of what was
transp,nng-to Gen. Butler. Before word reached
the General—the monster haring flaved the back
of his slave until it became raw—washed her down
with bnne. threw her into a wagon, and at nine
oelock at night conveyed her to the parish prison
with the pleasing information that the rest of the
beating—to the exient of three hundred lashes
would be inflicted in the morning. 7
The General ordered all parties to appear in the
morning. They came and the girl uSTberated.
I pon the hearing-these facts appeared. The Gen
w t *,r "Vf" state - “P™ his honor, wbv
g c ", Lat ; k ln brine ’ while reeking ih
hkxxl. He replied, “it was to ease the tiain ”

Diu O. H. Krtssrl take pleasure in making thU t. }.
anUry statement in favor of n medicine prepared hy
called u Lixdsst’s Blood Seabchu.'’ I had suffered & r
fire years with Scrofula which broke out oa my head mj
forehead so as to disfigure me very much, and took off ti*
hair wty>o the disease made its appearance; it also brok*
on ray arm above and below the elbow, and eat into
skin an,d flesh so as to expose a fearful sore. The di***’
on my head went *o far that several small piece* of
came out. 1 was very week and low spirited, and h*J
given up all hope of ever getting well, as I bad tried wr
era! skillful physicians and they did me no good. In &{-
(ember last, 1861.1 was induced to try u Lixdskt's j*.
proved Blood Search**.” I must confess 1 had so &ith
in patent medicines, but after 1 had used three bottle* of
Blood Searcher, the ulcers ou my head and arm begin u
; heal. I have now taken eight or ten bottles, and my head
and arm are entirely well except the scars remaining
the wires. I will also state that I had the rheumatism
very bad in my arms and legs. The Blood Searcher aUo
cured the rheumatism. lam now a well man, over Com
years of age. and I feel as suple and young as I did when
I was twenty, and have increased In weight twenty puoodv
I would also state that the disease in my fbrebeard vu «o
bad that when I stooped and lifted anything heavy, the
blood run out of the sore. Dr- Keyset bad a photograph
.taken oi me by Mr. Cargo, the artist, after 1 began to
well.; It doe* not show my appearance as bad as it *-&.
before I commenced taking the medicine. Wa can Hr
the photograph, one of Which is now in my possession,
and also at Dr. Keyser** 140 w6od street. 1 would al*c
state that I took the Blood Searcher which was made
fore Dr. Keyset commenced making it. Although it
helped me some, I did not recover fast until 1 got t.V kind
made by Dr. Keyset himself. One bottle of his did
more good than two of the old. I believe it Is a great
stronger and better. I have recommended lb* 81/-1
Searcher to a great many of my friends for variom die
eas»-.», and I believe it ha* be){>ed the whole of them. Via
may publish this if you wish, and I am anxious that ail
who are afflicted ns I was may be eared. I live in this citv.

times in the hospital in this city, and was relieved, but
my disease always returned after a month or two after I

Death am* Fcseeal ' Obsmouss of Lieut.
Sbokqk W. Bublby.— lt is oar unwelcome duty
his week to chronicle the death of Lieutenant
W. Bnrley, son of Mr. John Burley, of
his place. He died in Washington City on Thurs
lay last, 26th ult., of typhoid fever.
On the breaking out of the rebellion Lieut. B.
r ii,(A,l in Capt. Bell’s company, of Tyrone, and
erred a three months’ campaign, as Ist sergeant.
Vhen thecamp of instruction was opened at Hun-
Ingdon, he again volunteered in the service of his
nuntry, this time occupying the position of Ist
lieutenant of Captain Brisbin’s company, of the
10th Regiment. The regiment was first assigned
o active duty in General Lander’s division, and
anticipated in seiveral skirmishes under that offi
ier. After the death of General Lander, the di:
rision was placed under command of General
shields. Onr readers are aware that the 110th
vss in the thickest of the fight at'Winchester, and
tis reported of Lient. Barley that he acquitted
limself most nobly on that occasion. He was
vith his company in every action which followed.
\i Front Royal he boro his fill! shore of the dan
gers, and stood by his iqen during their retreat
>cfoie the hosts of “Stonewall” Jackson. It is
aid of him that he never left his company for half
i day from the time they were mustered into scr
dcc.
When attacked with the disease which termina
ted his existence, he still refused to leave his post,
snd did not leave it until; he fell exhausted on the
ield, and had to be carried off in an ambulance.—
After remaining in the camp hospital a short time
ie was coavinced that he could not soon again
sake the field, and he accordingly resigned his po
ition and started for home. Arriving at Wash
ngton city he was so much worse that he was tm-
blc to get out of the cars.' He requested to be
aken to a private house, not wishing to go to any
if the hospitals. A young man who was standing
y and heard his request, took an interest in him.
md had him conveyed to his boarding house, in a
Juiet part of the city, where he received every pos
sible attention. ;
[ During his illness he sent out anti had purchased
[for hifn a dozen of small American flags which he
requested his attendants to so arrange arotmd the
[walls of his room that, whichever way he turned,
’ his eyes might rest upon them, and that when his
: son of life might set his eyes should last gaze npon
the glorious ensign of his country, under which hi
had so often rallied, and for the honor of which he
[bad so bravely fongbt. What a fitting sight on
[which to close hfs eyes forever, and what an evi
dence of true patriotism and genuine love for his
[country, thus to desire to fix his last gaze npon its
[sacred emblem and give to it his last thoughts up
|un earth.
The fatal archer hod marked Lieutenant Burley
[as his victim, and notwithstanding good medical
attention and the motherly care bestowed npon him
by the lady of the house, he sunk rapidly, and on
the fourth day after his arrival in the city, he
“slept the sleep that knows no waking.”
His body was immediately embalmed and placed
pn a metalic coffin and sent to this place, where it
[arrived on Saturday morning last.t|l
HU funeral took {dace on Sunday afternoon, at
N o’clock. The cortege consisted of an escort of
[infantry, under command of Captain Szink, the
[Lodge of Odd Fellows, in this place, and a large
[concourse of citizens, the whole proceeded by the
[Altoona Brass Band. The impressive burial ser
jvices of the Odd Fellows were gone through with
[at the house and grave, after which the infantry
[fired the usual number of vollies over the grave.—
ILieat. Barley was 28 years of age, and unmarried.
