Having this briefly alluded, to some ,of

war; who have gazed for this last time upon
the loved form of the man to whom she had

stances, site is thrown upon the cold churl ,
ties of life world. Could you but enter
those wretched hovels and mingle with the

sconce with sad and heavy hearts, and enter
your closet and pray Almighty God to roll
back these dark Floods of war, stay the
effusion of bleed and speedily restore peace
to our distracted country I Then I entreat
you to labor to calm the raging storm, cast
oilnipon the troubled waters, strive in the
spirit of love to break down that spirit of
hatred and revenge that may be burning
in the heart of your hifsband, that lies at
the foundation and forms the basis of all

The Burning of Chambernburg—Ttia •
jeot of that Act as Statod by eral
Early.
As there have born tratlictory state-
MOWS in regal d 5:7 - authority by which
Chambersburg . s burned, and the pun:
poses f-r whiCh it was done, we print 'be
low, from a reliable corigispondent at Wil
liamsport, Md., 'a report of the remarks
made In that . town by Gen. Early upon that
and other subjects. The' 'occasion of the
remarks is given by our correspondent. It
seems that some days after the conibigra
do" • Chambersburg, (on Saturday - ,
August* Gen. Early, being then at
, in Washingtoin county, Mary
land, despatched a guard to Hagerstown,
with authority and orders to arrest six
named citizens of that place. The gnard
arrested Isaac Nesbitt, A. 11. Hager, Fred.
crick McComas, Samuel Ogilby, Rev. Mr.
Edwards, and Bev, Mr. Hyde.' Mr. Ogilby
hail permission from the officer in charge
to go to his chamber for his coat, on a
promise to return: He forgot to comeback, I
hoWever, and in Lie absence of mind wan
dered out through his back yard. Only five,
therefore. of the prisoners were btOllghtle
fore the Gorrerah- 7 -Previeuely-the -Rev, Dr,-
KerfooL and Mr. Cost, of the College of St.
James, in Washington county, had been
arrested under similar orders and paroled.
Several gentlemen who had been reputed to
be, "Southern syrupathisers," and who are,
our correspondent says, certainly not sup
porters of the Administration, but ns loyal
to the Constitution and Union as niiy who
tread the earth, promptly repaired to `Gen.
Early's headquarters, and, with a generosi
ty which hod not 'been- manifested . by the,
gentlemen under arrest toward .1 - 1;0;s when
in similar trouble, urged with earnestness
and effect the release of the prisoners.
'When the latter wore brought before Gen.
Early, they were addressed by him sub
stantially, our eurrespontlant believes al
most, if not quite literailyr as follows:
"Grs - rtritilf !tape had yon arrested
merely as hostages to secure the release of
six gentlemen residing near Hedgesville,
is Virginia, who are now imprisoned by the
Federal Government, in consequence Of the%
burning of the house! of Mr. Coakus, by
.4.d'infederate troops.
I have examined the foots in the case,
and am thoroughly oatished that the 'burn
ing was Vainly aectdental , --that, in burn-.
ing some railroad property which they had
been ordered to ,destroy, the fire, ip, spite
of their efforts, was curautualelite ' d to the
house of Mr. Cookus, not far distant. And
yet those six gentlemen, a Bev: Mr. Tongue,
a Methodist preacher in that village, who
was romorloble as a pious, good man, who
did not interfere with politics, and five other
gentlemen in the neighborhood, who ware
I Jiiet as innocent ca ignorant of the approach
or purpose of the troops as any of, you. are
now in prioon in consequence of the Burn
ing of that house.
The.familios were sfripped of all their
personal property, and having no means of
conveyance the (laughter of the preacher
and the 'mice of' one of the others, walked 1 1
-sight lifileb-to eat beadquartere, and with
streaming eyes and sad hearts implored my
aid in some manner 'to afford relief. They
first wishetime to arrest some of their Union
neighbora;*but I did not feel it proper fort
the Southern Confadernoy to retaliate upon
its. own citizens. Those men, however,
misguided they may be, are still citizens of
the State of VirFinia, - atul under the pm
taloa:of Lei laws ; wo hepo and.trust

Cub:tact them to military role.' And, there=
fore, inflexibly opposed as I always have
been to the destruction of private property,
or the molestation ,of non-conibatcnt citi
zens, yet it is always in the power of one
army to force the other to retaliation.

Gen. Hunter, in his recent raid to Lynch
burg, caused wide-spread ruin wherever he
passed!' I followed him about sixty wiles,
and language would fail we in describe the
terrible dcsolatiou which marked Lis path.
Dwelling louses and other, buildings were
almost universally burned ; imple
ments of husbandry, anti everything availa
ble for the sustenance of human life, se far
as he could . do so, wdh everywhere destru e y,
ed. IVe found many, very many, fatuities
of helpless women and &Mildred Who lied
been euddetily turned out of doors, and
their houses and ceidente condemned to the
flames; and in sumo cases, where Awn:id
rescued some extra clothing, the soldiers
bad torn the gammas Ina narrow stripe
and strewn them upon the ground for us to
witneßs when we arrived in pursuit.
Gen. Hunter has been much censured by
the voice of humanity eyyrywhere, and he
deserves it all; yid; he has caused seemly ,
one-tenth part of, the devastation which bee I
been committed immediately in sight of the
headquarters of General Meade and Gen
eral Grant, in Eastern Virginia. °For exam
ple—in Culpepper county, where General
Meade held his headquarters, almost every
house and building has 'been - burned; very
few have escaped the 'Mines, and utter des
olation is seen On every hand. Even a
samil tannery in 'right of Oon. Mead's head
quarters. whom a poor man tanned a few
hides for the rreighbors on the shares, to
furnish Ames for the poor women and chit
dren who wore necessarily left there, was
burned by the army, and the half-tanned
skins drawn from the vats and cut into nar
row strips to prevent the possibility of their
'being useful.
Recently they have burned the residence
of Andrew Hunter, near Charlestown, with
all its conletits, requiring the fatqily to
:Italia by and witness thwdestruction oT their
ItOmb. They did , the same with the house
of Edmund J. Lee, near Shephe.rdstown,
and repeated it on the buildings of boa.
Alex. H. Meier.
Such things of course cannot he long en
dured, and must provoke retaliation when
ever It Is possible. Accordingly, I bite]}}
sent Gen. 7%loCnr - uslatul to Pennsylviftin.
did not wish to retaliate in Maryland, be
cause we all hope and believe that Mary
land will eventually be a member oc the
Southern Confederacy. I therefore Kennlm
to Pennsylvania, with written instructions
to demand of the- authorities of Chambers
burg a ,tfum whidlis would be sufficient to in 7
detnutfy flies° gentlemen, and also some
other damages wltleh I specified in the or
der, and on default in their Compliance, he
was instructed to burn the tewn,,which I
learn was done. I was very reluctant, and
it was a most disagreeable duty to inflect
such thunttgo_ upon those mitizone ; but I
deemed it an imperative necessity to show
he people of the Federal States that war
has t wo sides. I hope and ',believe it has
had, and will have, a good effect. I-saw
with much pleasure, since then, an able hr
ticle in the i'Vttional huelligeneer, which mil
led uppk ti :lie North to eonsideg gravely
whether, acs a ,node of warfare as they had

And now, gentlemen, I wilt repeat my
sincere regret that it am obliged; to subject
you to this inconvenieneel have so ob
ject but to procure the retest& of those six
citizens of Virginia who ere now wrong
fully imprisoned, and therefore will tmako
you as comfortable-as possible. It 'is notb
rious, that many of our. most respectable
citizens, al p have been imprisoned by your
Governmenl.• for similar or lees serious
causes, have been confined lathe same room
with conitertined malefactors. Gentlemen,
you need have no fears of such treatment
whilst in my custody. I propose to retain
four of you, and release the fifth on hip pa
role that he will uee his utmost efforts to pro
cure the release of those six genilenfliai• If
ho succeed, you will be discharged at igloo;
but if he fail to ncoomplish this within two
weeks, he must surrender himself again to

there, may not some tliffiewity arise from the
fact- that you have only five of itt4 prison

Gen. Early—That is very true sir, but
I can hardly suppose the Government will
raise such a question, seeing the only ef

The prisoners feelingly urged bins to re
lease them all, offering their parole in the
strongest * possible langnage. The General
hesitated a long while, and was slow to
to yield. Finally, after 6 long dim:l66lon,
and several personal friends of the prison
ers had vouched for their good faith, they
were all released on the Bathe conditions as
were prescribed on the release of Dr. Ker r
