The Lowintown Gazette. radical, calls
tho Chorpenning claim, a "relic of IVin
ocracy," when every one knows that the
democrats all along denounced it, and
that it is radical congressman Cessna
who is advocating the payment of that
fraudulent claim. The thuetto can t
paint off that fib on any one.
A fellow across the mountain thinks to
ride into office by getting astride of a
/ewer-rail. Vive la humbug.
Attorney General Pierre pont said the
other day, in iMpQW to the question
whether he had recently received any
accounts of ku klux outrages, that he |
had received none since he ha* occupied
his present position. That s queer, w hen J
we consider that the tall elections arc
ao near at hand. Has the outrage mill
'gin eont ?
Should like to know how Bill Brow n
can have the impudence to *et himself j
up as the leader of the workingmen j
(Triers) w hen he never was able to man- j
age his own affairs successfully for three
months at a titue without running into
the ground? "Kxplain." There is not
an honest aorkingu.au in Peausvallev,
nor an honest man on the other side of
the county, whom Brown can name,
that has confidence enough in him to till
a pins head.

Tho Black Hills aeem to have gold af
ter all. new discoveries are reported and
the consequent excitement. Intormation
bearing date 20 ult., says that new dis
coveries of gold have been made north
of French creek, about twenty-eight
miles, in the valley of Spring creek,
which have created great excitement.
There is a general begin* in that direc
tion. Three hundred miners have al
ready located there, and those who are'
constantly coming into the hills follow
the common impulse. Mr. W. P. Jenny,
who has examined the district, has ver
bally given it as his opinion that mining
will prove moderately profitable there.
He says that he obtained five cents from
a isinful of earth. Nuggets have been
found worth $1.30. A miner returned
yesterday from a long tour in the north,
accompanied by two Indians and a half
breed, and having crossed Spring Creek,
reports that the soil is yielding from ten
to fifteen cents to the pan. The country
is tine, with plenty of grass and timber.
No gold has been found in the gulch ex
cept in the spot where Mr. Jenny's as
sistant dug to the led rock. Miners
here are entering the hills at the rate of
fifty a day. The population is now
about 1,000.

The "Industrial Advocate" is the name
of a paper, under Bill Brown's editor
ship, and is the organ of the chivalrous
knights of the glass called the 7tiers, a
secret organization that attempt* to draw
votes from the democratic party, to help
disorganize!* and disappointed office
seekers to defeat the party. A few hon
est and unsuspecting democrats have
been drawn into this imitation of know
nothingism. because it styles itself the
workingmen's order. A workingmen's |
order with Bill Brown for a leader! !wh,
who will bite at such a bait ? Might as
well have taken the unfaithful servant
whom we read of in -Scripture, who buri
ed his talent, and was reproved by the
master on account of his laziness. Now
this leader of the "Triers, Bill Brown, an
old traducer ofCentre county democrat*,
has, unprovoked, been calling the editor j
of the Reporter abusive names, because I
we are true to our party, and warn dem-1
ocrats against the tricks of himself and
his kind to disorganize the democracy.
He is hired by the Modoc element to
keep up division, and through him and
his organ the Modocs blow* their horn,
and put out stuff—and this model man
calls us a dog. When a pup chooses to
call cs a dog, we can bear comparisons.
Bill Brown is too well known in this
county to be able to harm any one by
his abase, and he will find few demo
crats silly enough to be led astray by
him, and join the order in which he
shines as the leading star. The apple
dumpling philosopher is hired also to
abase Judge Orvi*, and every issue of
his Industrial Advocate contain* a low
fling at that gentleman. Judge Orvis
needs no defense against Brown's at
tacks, —the man, his abilities, his integ
rity as an honest, faithful legislator, who
was untiring in his fight against the
plundering rings while at Harrisburg,
and his uprightness upon the bench, are
an iron clad of safety against the mud
halls of Bill Brown or his Modoc mas
ters who hire him to do their dirty work.
Brown's Advocate is ill at ease because,
as it charges, the Reporter is inspired by
Judge Orvis. Wish it were correct. The
charge is quite an unintentional compli*
ment paid our own poor abilities—we
might well feel proud of such assistance.
The advice of Judge Orvis would be the
most valuable and trustworthy we could
have. But that distinguished gentles
man has nothing at all to do with the
conduct of this paper, he is minding his
own business and is minding it well too,
while we are giving all our attention to
ours, and from the manner in which we
are succeeding, we flatter ourselves that
tre are minding ours well too, and when
we need advice, will much prefer that
of Judge Orvis to the hireling of the
Modocs who is in pay to keep up an or
ganization that is intended to stab the
democratic party of Centre county in the
dark, if certain ringsters can not get of
fices. We would a thousand time* pre
fer being the dog that Brown calls us,
than to play second fiddle to the chap of
whom Mr. Hanflpck, a member of the
House, said "he was the d—t little
rooster he ever heard of." Any genuine
workingmen's organization will be sure
not to have a loafer like Bill Brown tor
a leader —hence we look upon the Sons
of *76, as being humbugged, and advise
the few honest democrats who may have
been misled, to get out of it.
If Bill Brown chooses to advocate tin
election of P. G. Meek to the senate, it is
all right and besides perfectly fitting he
should do so, and we will not dispute
with him about his taste iu the matter
—indeed would be exceedingly surpris
ed if he did not do so, and that the 'Toen
ail think as Brown does upon the sen
ate question, is not ustounding, because <
thereon is the order built. Mododsm 1
in 74, la simply 76ers in '75. Brown 1
can not go back on those follows, for!.
ihty hired him once before. Iu the
Watchman of a few years ago, Mr. Meek
telle it right out that they hired Brown— .
gave him a pair of new pants—to do {
tome political work for them, and make i
democratic speeches ft
GRANT SUSTAINS THE IN THAN
RING.
At the cabinet meeting, luat week,
President Grant announced his decision
in regard to Secretary 1 Via no. He has
heard tho grave charge* of fraud pre
ferred by Prof, Marsh, of Yale college,
who has witnessed some of the transac
tions of the ring and has examined some
jof the vile stuff that has Ih-cu palmcrl
off upon the Indian for food. The pork
was not tit for human Wing* to eat. The
sugar was Wd. The flour was unlit for
use. The beef was miserable. The
blankets wen* fraud*. Tho Indian
livnts had cheated and wronged the
' Indians, ami the head of the de(nirt-
I men! knew it and sustained it. Prof.
Marsh gwve name*, dates and all partic
ular*. lie wrote to President Grunt,
suhmittinpupon paper his specific char
ge*. and explicitly stating that the sec
retary of the interior and the head of
the Indian bureau were implicated.
Prof. Marsh then went to l.ong Brunch
and had a jwrsonal interview with the
preaident, telling him what he hail seen
ami what he knew. But the president
declines to sus|hmul the secretary and
investigatethese charges made by a gen
tleman of high respectability and purity
of character. The president sustains the
ring always. When secretary Pox tele
graphed to the president from Washing
ton to Long Brunch, that he was "light
ing fraud" and needed the moral sup*
j (*irt of the President, he was ordered
not to act. .to defeat a grand laud job,)
and was forthwith dismissed from the
Cabinet. Now the seeieti who does
of "right fraud" but sustains it, anil if
Prof. Marsh's charges are at all reliable,
is implicated in frauds, is upheld by the
President. 1 have decided mo t todi*mi.-s
him says, Gen. Grant. He retains the
I *ootvtarv that sustains fraud, and dis
missed the one that fought it.

EXCIRSJOX CARS FOR 7HE > EN
TENS'IAI..
The Cumberland Valley railroad is
about having constructed u number of
passenger curs in which the seats will be
numbered, and overhead there w ill be a
receptacle provided with lock and key
for the baggage- of the seat holder. The
excursionist buys a ticket and with it he
receives a key with a check . at
tached, and on the check he find* a num
ber stamped corresponding with the
number of the seat to which he is enti
tled. He will find the key to uulock
the closet over his seat—but not the
closet over any other seat. When he
reaches Philadelphia he can lock up as
much of his baggage as he chooses and
sally forth. The train will Ik? run upon
a siding convenient to the centennial
grounds. At any time the excursionist
desires lie can walk over to the train,
unlock his closet and take out or put in
anything he chooses. He may even put
bis lunch there. At night on the w ay
home the check and key are taken up
with the return ticket. The {lassenger
is thus put at no inconvenience, but on
the other hand is supplied with accom
modations almost tinkown to railway
travelers at the present time.
THE OHIO FINANCIAL POSITION
There has been much misrepresenta
tion and condemnation of the Ohio
Democrats on the fiuances.and the Rad
icals have tried to create the impression
that defeat is staring the Democrat* of
that State in the face. But the contra
ry is the fact. There is a sanguine be
lief among the Democrats that they w ill
carry the State by an increased majori
ty. As to the position of the Democrats
thereon the finances. Hon. George If.
Pendleton a few days since made a
speech defining his position,and as what
he has advocated has been quoted a* the
Democratic position and largely misrep
resented by the Radicals, we give a sum
mary of what he did say :
He said that we are all in favor of coin
as the basis of the currency ; that a pa
per currency should be convertible into
coin at par ; that we desire a return to
specie payments as speedily as the in
terests of labor and business w ill per
mit ; that we would be glad to return
immediately if honor and good faith and
justice would permit, and it were jiossi
ble. We have not now and never have
been in favor of an unlimited issue of
greenbacks. We are not, and never
have been, iu favor of repudiation in
any form. We do believe it is our high
est duty to fulfill all our country's obli
gations according to the spirit and letter
of our promises. We are not now, and
never have been in favor of a volume of
currency changing or fluctuating accord
ing to the whims of ]>artiea, or the in
terests of bankers, or the demands of
reckless speculators, but sufficient for
the easy, active, economical, profitable
interchange of commodities, and as fixed
and stable as the nature of the cane will
allow. So long as we must have a paper
currency we prefer greenbacks, which
are sound, cheap, and good, to nationul
bank notes, which at the outset coat the
people six per cent., and are at the last
only redeemable in greenbacks. He
would not discuss to-day the merits of
the different kinds of currency. The
house, he said, was burning. Jx>t us put
out the fire, and then we may consider
whether we will repair the injuries or
rebuild on another plan.
It will lie seen he recognizes coin as u
basis, and hopes for a return to specie
payment, but until that time, and for
the best interests of the county and as a
means of forwarding specie payments,
he is in favor of doing away with the
National Banks and substituting a uni
form government currency. The posi
tion is a sound one, it is backed by the
people, who are and ought to be in favor
of breaking down the National Bank
monopoly,and not only will that posi
tion win with the people of Ohio, but it
would carry Pennsylvania.
A cousin of Himon Cameron was sent
to the Blair county poor house on Wed
nesday at his on request. He was hon
est and that may have kept him poor—
had he stolen like Blmon lut plight have
lieen sent to higher quarters.

THE SI ITE THEATER)
As jviirt of the history of the time*, say*
the Columbian, we print
the opinion of the Attorney General of
thi* State, show ing that the Radicals
have so legislated thut the State Treas
urer is no longer required to make a
monthly statement of the condition of
the Sinking Fund and w here it is depos
ited, a* had formerly Won rendered
necessary by aw hulesome ami honest
law, and that the Auditor General is ab
solutely debarred by law from imptiritig
into it! The legislation to shield the
fund from examination was enacted at
the session of 1574, by the most corrupt
and liaso legislative body that ever as
sembled in this Commonwealth, or in
any Other, unless, (nisstbly, it i* cjualed
or exceeded ly soiucofthc negro-carpet-
Iwig Legislatures of the Southern States.
Cnder the existing laws, therefore, and
by the connivance of Gov. llartranft,
over two millions of dollars of the peo
jJo's money jmid by liurvl taxation—is
loekeii up in the breeches jioeket of Mr.
Bob. Maekev, upon whieli lie may und
no doubt does draw* interest to hi* (er
>onal advantage, while the State Wmds
which this money should promptly re
deem) are left to draw interest which
must be jmid by the people. Outrage i*
a mild term for this ftsdical buccaneer
ing transaction—it is a gross fraud ujm
the people, perpetrated over the signa
ture of John F. llartranft—direct rob
bery !
Is Ihere no remedy ? Auditor Gener
al IVmple is yet Commissioner of the
Sinking Fund. When the board again
meets (in H few days now let him de
mand that every dollar in the Sinking
Fund shall K at once used in redeeming
Mate bonds. He urn make the demand
—let the two Radical Commissioners re
fuse or neglect if they dare. There will
be time between this and the election to
expose them and to lix the j>/<>j-*r re
sponsibility upon Gov. Hurtruntl.
Vuder these circumstance- it i- not at
all singular that Treasurer Mackflv pubs
lishes monthly statements, over his atti
davit, that there are millions in the
sinking Fund, but only contemptible
sums ranging from less than two to thir
ty dollars in the State Treasury applica
ble to the payment of current expenses
ami appropriations. Hut why are the
millions kept in the sinking Fund, <J
/Am*, instead of redeeming interest-bear
ing bonds with them ? No earthly rea
son can be assigned for such action oth
er than the personal purpose or profit
of the State Treasurer! And it was to
enable him, his partners and his party,
to profit by the Interest on millions of
the people's money that <iov. llartranft
approved the legislation detailed by the
Attorney General!
The cruel ami Christies* act of the
Rev. Mr. Moore, n clergyman of the
Church of England and a jqstire of the
peace, who recently committed a young
girl 13 years of age to a common jail for
fourteen days and to the county reform
atory for four years, for the trivial of
fense of picking a bud from u geranium
plant in an almshouse garden, ha* mi*
turally excited much indignation ami
comment in England and America, and,
we presume, in every other civilized
country in which it has become known.
This infamous act, in the name of jus
tice, wa* committed in the village of
Spalding, and the victim's name is Sa
rah Chandler, who ha* an aged aunt in
the almshou*e of that rural village,
whom she was visiting when she com
mitted the heinous offense of plucking
the fatal bud from one of the several
flower beds that adorn the ground* of
the institution. A vigilant matron of
the almshouse saw the girl in the act.
which was duly reported to the rever
end magistrate, who consigned the of
fender to a prison and a reformatory, as
already stated. Fourteen days among
jail-birds ami four years in a reformato
ry for plucking a geranium bud, and the
victim an innocent girl who had no idea
that she was doing w rung! (.In the very
same day, in London, a man was lined
forty shillings and committed to jiifl for
a fortnight for boating his wife nearly to
death! Such is equal und exart justice
in England, and such the judicial differ
ence there between the worth of a wife
and of a geranium bud.
LETTER FROM MR. IIOV.
BILLKFONTK, Aug. -5, 187-j.
To THE KUITOK or THE REPORTER:
Last week the lion. I'. Gray Meek was in
Millbcim, and whilst there, among other
thing* he did, he w rote two communica
tion* to the Eerichlcr. In one commend
ing himself to tlia favorable considerat ion
of the farmers, and signed his communi
cation ''Farmer''—and in the other repre
senting himself as an unflinching demo
crat ever since he hud a vote. ( How about
the independent movement last fall?) The
lutter he signed "Fair Play," and consid
ered it of so much importance to himself
that he had it translated into Herman, and
published both in English and German in
the Bc-richter. If 1 desired to follow in
the footsteps of my opponent I would deny
the truth of that part of Fair l'lay's com
munication relative to myself and branded
it as a "Republican lie." But preferring
the truth in all things, I will by your per
mission, through your columns givo your
readers a plain statement of the facts, and
rest my rase on the truth, and whatever
the result may be, stand or fall by the
truth. In the fall of lt*G2 Gov. Curtiu ap
pointed me commissioner of the draft, u."-|
tier the laws of Pennsylvania, and I)r. J.
M. M'Coy, Surgeon, who hud l)r J. B
Mitchell for bis assistant. We were furn
i*h*l with the enrollments of all those who
had been enrolled in Centre floycty as sub
ject to military duU*-with printed instruc
tions for our guidance—and printed forms
of the oath to be administered to persons
claiming exemption on the ground of con
sciencious scruple* against bearing arms
W c were furnished no instructions to givo j
cerfiflpfte* of oxemption, nor with blanks.
Our instructing were to draw u line in red
ink across the nutno ot cvo.-y enrolled per
son who was entitled to exemption for any
cause, und write opposite the name in u
column appropriated to that purpose—the
cause of his exemption—which was faith
fully dt>;e in the presence of the persons
who were etfempfed for any cause other
than physical die-utility, TltPfis claiming
exemption on the ground of physical disa
bility were exempted in n separate room
by the burgeon and his assistant, who, at
the close of every day reported to me the
names of those who were exempted, with
the cause of exemption—whose names were
ut once erased by drawing a red linoacross
them, and writing in the proper column
the cause for which they were exempted,
The examination* wore concluded on thai
litth of Sept. 18(12 and I immediately J
made my report to the Adjutant General!
of the State—and my account In accord-'
anre with the instruction* given u* Dur
ing the progress of the examination*, many
person* a-ked lor certificate, of exemption
who Were answered in every instance,
that we were not furnished with blank*
had no time to write them, and that the
authorities had made no provision for is
suing them ; that the nnu'es ol all who
were exempted Would be era.est and .Ire k
eti front the enrollment, which was all that
a necessary. Notwithstanding thi* a*
tunnies that no certificate* were neo.leil,
lor Weeks afterward* i ore. of potion,
made application to me, some in person,
and other- by loiter, foi certificate-. Some
six Weeks after the close of the examina
tion. and aeeooil happened to he In the
office of the commissioner of Mirtltn coun
ty, in I.owistown, when n person called
and obtained from the commissioner u
certificate of exemption, and paid for it.
After lie had departed 1 inquired why lie
gave certificate* remarking that the gov
ernment furnished u* no blank, and no
instruction* on the subject, and that for
this ren.oii we gave none. He replied
that neithrr did the government furnish
tin to any but that they were so much im
portuned for them, that he and the Surgeon
got up a form mid issued ihrin to such
person* US desired and were entitled to
llicni on their puviug for theui. 1 report
ed these fact* to the Surgeon and assistant,
and being .till annoyed and importuned
with application* for them, we concluded
to i- ue certificate* lor u certain price,
which wa fixed by the Surgeon at two
dollara each, contrary to my wishes. In
asmuch as we bad hitherto declined to is
sue spy, it was necessary to give informa
tion in some way , giving notice that certif
icate . would bo given to such us dt-sind
, and were entitled to them A circular
wus drawn up at.d printed, giving thi* in

exempted by reason of physical disability.

cause tlu-y were not t ailed for. A nuuib*i
of p-.-rs >n* call* I and received certificate*
and paid for Ihe hi 1 Jo not hesitate to
state that 1 aJvixd every one w ho applied,
that the certific t>-e not|ncc<-s ry. tint
they were already exempted, and their

ing them, they uiu.l pay for them
1 belie \cd i. nd so ttalod, l>>
tomcat lead, that the certificate* would be
evident < to .-tempi the holder, far the

inhumed was accomplished hy them. 1
paid f r printing the circulars nnd Certifi
, cati , and spent about two wm-ks at uiy of
\ tic attending lo issuing certificates, for
which Iho government did not pay into cent
and when finished the receipts were by no
mean- an adequate compensation, As be
fore stated I made my return lo the Adj i
' tant General on the 10 September anJ tny
account, on the government were then
closed, whilst no certificate* wvrcL.ut-d un
til November, some right weeks after
i wards, anu all that wt-rothan issued were
tssuc-d as a favor to tho.o exempted and
who deserved them as an evidence of their
exemption. Among other* one was is-u. 1
to Mr. J. W. Adam*, who applied for it
not in person, but through at other. I Jo
not recollect of ever having seen Mr.
Adam* until sotno ten day. ago when in
Millhqpii Mr. J. H. Reifsi.yder c.me t
in* and inquired what the difficulty was
between Adam* and myself, to which I re
plied, 1 knew of none, when he, Reifsny
der, said that Adam* complained about an
exemption certificate, and mentioned a let
ter from Gov. Curtin and saying that
Adam* was very poor anJ with difficult)
• kept h i i)self and family off the township.
Instead of my compelling Adams to show
Gov. Curtin'* letter as stated by "Fair
l'Ly, Reifsnrdcr soon after c*me and
handed me the certificate and Utter and
introduced Adam*, and then left. I r> ad
the letter and .aid to Adams that it was
net written by Gov. Curtin, but by Mc-
Clure. a clerk in the Adjutant General's
office, that I did not believe Gov. Curtin
over saw it, and if he did he certainly dot
not understand the fact. Adam* com
plained that he was very por anil be
thought I cught not to have charged him
the two dollar*. 1 explained the matter
fully and insisted on my moral and legal
right* to Jo what*had* been don* denied
all moral at d legal obligation* to repay.
Rut because Mr. Reifsnyder had stated
that he, Adam* was *<> poor that it wa*
with difficulty he kept himself and family
off the township, at.d because Adam* c< m
tdained ami appealed to me bv reason e>f
his poverty, 1 gave him two dollars as an
act of charity and not a* hi* right, and
.aid to him that I gave it not because he
wa* entitled to it •• a matter of right, nor
because 1 was under any obligation eritlier
legal or moral, but purely and simply bo
cause he wa* poor and needed it, and for
the tame rcas <n that I would have given
aid to any other jm-r nerson, an object of
charity. I know Mr. Reifsnydcr will sub
stanciate these fact* so far a* relate* to
him, and so will Mr. Adam* if not misled
by other*, and speak tho truth. Such arc
the facts und truth, if by them I atn justifi
ed well, if condemned *o mutt it be.
A* to the charge that from 18*12 to 18f>$ 1
wusarHtnpa.it blatant republican, I utter*
Jy deny, thi* Meek u*c* everywhere, and
no one know* it* utter Taltlty better than

From ISIS to 1802 and from 1860 to the

did not since 1860, when J spent,weckscan

Committee, and sent by express to tny

of Campaign Hats, Capes, Lamps. Ac., for
which I paid $ KM.HO, n portion of which |
remains due and unpaid to this day.
And now if vou w ill allow me a little

I will endeavor to serve them and not join

New Jersey is sinking, with New York

that it it B* much a* tbirtv or forty feel in

Combining these observation* with the <
result* of tho recent deep sounding* of *h .

from different plans, in Columbia more
than confirm the horror* by the earth
quake in May. A letter from Sulacia of
May 'Jh ay* Cucuta it a pitiful tight. 1
Everything i* in ruin*. Not a house re
main. standing. Thieve* and robber*
from tbe surrounding country have swept
down on tbe ill-fated city, and hardly a
.ingle safe ha* been tared from the cu*-
torn house. Four hundred mule* were
killed in the street*. and a* there is no one
to remove them the .tench i becoming
frightful. The village* of San Cristobal,
Torrina, Uuatimog. Capacho, San Anto
,ni,, Libetera, San Juan de Urena, Rosa
rio and San Cayetano are completely de
stroyed. The store house at Fuertode lo*
facto* was tacked and burned by bandit*.
A letter from Ooano, May BC, *v* ten
tboutaud people were killed at Cucula in
addition to other thousand* who were ten
uously wounded and bruised. Death and
desolation reigned everywhere. Great
number* of hacicodashave been destroyed,
and hundtod* of house* in the country
overthrown, leaving the people homeless
and consigned to poverty. Many of the
ttee* were torn up from the root*, aid
.mall hill* opened like melon*. The cause
of the great catastrophe i* of course, un
known, and the precise place of it* first
manifestation. Some suppose that the vol
cano ofSobatcra, which was in action in
ISIS, is again breaking out, while other*
tay that a new volcano ha* appeared in the
hill* of GiracLa. A private letter from
Itucaramango, of May 24, nay* : "In Pi
cdeciisia the tor.n hall it destroyed, and in
Pampcluna the cathedral i* in ru
in*." A telegram from Hon. Aquilc*
j Parra lo President Perez, dated liucara
mnnga. M*y 24, tay* : "The earthquake*
continue. L*l night tbe cathedral in
l'ampeluna fell. There i* great alarm and
great devastation throughout the Valley
iof Cucuta." A dispatch to President Pe
rez from CbinacoU, on May 24, *aj*:
; "The people of San Jose, Rusario and San
Cayclaiio havo disappeared. The real of
the departmont if in ruins" More than
j four thousand penont hare perished." A
dispatch from Socorro, dated May 24, says,
"The situation is assuming a grave aspect j
and sickness and starvation in Patppclu
na are increasing," A telegram from
Chiquinquara, of May 22, says the shocks
are repeating, two last night and one to*
day. There is great alarm among the people.
Appeals for help were being circulated
hrough all the cities of Columbia and the
most liberal responses were being made.
A private letter, dated at Salaxar, May
26, says: "On the 20th the sad idea oc
curred to me of visiting the ruins of Cucu
ta. On my arrival there what an aw
ful sight met my gar.e. It was something
Jiorri* lo to contemplate. Not one stone
remained on another in tpe *itv. The
number of tho dead is calculated at three
quarters of the entire population. The
few families which are saved arc now on
tho outskirts of what was the city, living
on what they can procure ; but they will
soou bo obliged to retire, as the putrefac
tion of the dead yrill not allow thorn to re
main. It is heartrending to sec* the
wounded who can havo no care, and who
cannot remain long alive in their present
condition. And, moro fearful still, ban
ditti arc killing apd robbing the wounded.
No adequate idea can be formed of the
