The GeneraFs Address. A Stoiy of this Dai k Day* of the Revolutionary War. The sufferings of the American army durirg the Revolutionary war were se ver*. The American Congress was ac casts! of not treating the army fairly, and at one time ther* was great danger that the troops would leave the field Washington appealed to Congress at this juncture, but no heed was paid to his r=Hjuet. In writing to the secretary of war on the subject he said : " Only conceive the mortification the troops must suffer (even the general officer*), vrheu they cannot invite a French offi cer or tra-eling acquaintance to a better dinner than bad whisky (and not a way> that ) and a bit of beef without vegetables will afford them." Cungraaz, though it professed a de- i sire that the army should receive justice, declared its inability to do anything until the separate States were consult ed. A committee appointed to make known their grievances to Congress re turned and reported their ill suce as This report fell like fire on the suf fering army, and it was evident that some decisive action would be devel oped before long. At length, ou the tenth of March, it took form in an anonymous address that was distributed through the army, calling on the to met t next day to decide on the meas ure- that should be adopted to obtain a retirees of their grievances. This address, it was ascertained year* after, wa- written by Major Armstrong, aid-tie-camp to General Gates. Its language whs well calculated to set on fixe the army that was already prepared for an explosion. The addrc-s commenced with the state ment of the disappointment felt at the report of the indifference of the government to their rights, say ing * A hat faith has its limits as web as ita temper, and there are points be yood which neither can lie stretched without sinking into cowardice or plunging into credu ity." He then takes a rapid survey of the past, recit ing their devotion, their sufferings, and their wrongs, and in a aeries of scornful questions asks them how their faith and patience have been re warded. After arousing their iudig nation by this recital of their wnn.g-, and the contemptuous treatment with which their humble petitions had beet received, he buret forth : "If this, then, lie your treatment while the sword* y-m w> *- are necessary for the defense of America, what have you to expect from peace, when your voice shal sink and your strength dissipate by division, when those very sword*, the instruments and companions . your glory, shall be taken from your side* and no mars of military distinction left you but your wants, inflrmitie and scare f Can you then consent to . e the only stiff- rers by this revolution, and retiring from the field, grow old in poverty, wretchedness aud contempt I Can v ad- been scattered through the army without the knowl edge of Washington. When at last it was brought to hiru and he read it over, a cloud dark as midnight settled on hiß countenance —the day of evil, which he 6o long dreaded, nay, had foretold, had at last come. The labor of seven long years was in a moment to be overthrown. The earthquake had opened at his very feet, and he gazed with sinking heart into the gloomy abyss. The worst of it was, there was mot an assertion or state ment in that fiery address that ha could •antra i ; -t. The appeal alone to red; ess tbdmselvew he oould not meet, and this could he done only by a counter appeal to their patriotism and their faith in his promise, that had' never been broken. But the first greet object was to gain de lay. The meeting had been called for FRED. KURTZ, Editor and Proprietor. VOLUME IX. the licit day, oa purpose that no time j should h given lor {wmion to salwide! and coaler counsel* prevail.

Things hud plainly oomo to a crisis, And to moot it successfully required grout pnidouoo, llonoo ho must have tirno to mature hi* plans, And AO joat poucd tho mooting till Saturxlay, four days in ndvanoe. To this no ono ooold object, but the leaders in tho movement SAW that it boded evil for thorn. In tho moAiitiwo ho sont for his gonormls U> mort him, to oonsnlt on tho proper course of action. It WAS A cold, chilly day on which they aeaem I tied, Aud tho old open fireplace WAS heaped with bhuiug logs Itefore which Washington WAS slowly pacing when the general* one after Another rode up— Wayne, and Putnam, and Sullivan en tered one After another ; Steuben from over the river ; while the veterans Knox and Oreen rode np together from the south. Others arrived from near the camp ground, until as no ble a group as ever gathered around a chieftaiu stood around WashiugU>u. Gould this old room speak and tell what passed at that sad and solemn council, it would tell of noble devotion and pat riotiam such as the world has seldom witnessed. It was finally resolved that Washington should attend the meeting and open it in person. It was arranged that immediately after his address "Old Put" should move that a committee be appointed to draft resolutions expressing j the ft clings of the meeting. The fifteenth of March was a oold, bleak day, and the leaden clouds gave a somber hne to the wintry landscape. Snow was still on the menu tain tops, and here and there lay in drifts in the hollows, as Washington and his staff be gan to climb the hills back of Newburgh toward the temple net r the oamp ground. Washington dismounted at the door, and giving his horse to the orderly, entered the building. It was packed throughout its entire ; length with an anxions andieuee. Every eye was turned as that tail and stately form moved calmly toward the raised platform at the further end Not a sound bnt his heavy footfall on the uuearprted floor broke the profound, 1 imorvsuve silence of the room. As he reached the platform and stood for a moment and gazed on the assembly, his noble heart was stirred to its profound est depths. He knew every face, and, as his eye passed from one to another, what a tide of feeling must have swept over his heart. They were his comrade* in battle. How often hail they olofed round him in the deadly encounter, and -houldar to shoulder carried him trium phantly over the fields of his fame. Noble men were th y all, oa whom he had relied, and not in vain, in the hour of deadly peril. A thousand proofs or their devotion came rushing back on hie memory; their toils and sufferiug rose before him, and the whole history of the past swept by like a moving panorama till his heart swelled over them with parental fondness. He had no word of rebuke for tbem—only words of affec tion and sympathy. Unrolling his manuscript, he took out his spectacle*, and said, in a voice choked with emotion : " You w, gentle men, I have grown blind as well as gray in yonr service." One could have heard i pm fall, so breathless was the audi ence; while many an eye, that hail never blenched in the wildest storm of bat tle, grew dim with tears. Every line •>f this immortal add rem reveals the stern patriot and the devote I chieftain. After referring to the anonymous ad Iress. and denouncing the author and his dark designs in uns|ring language, and the meeting called in this unprece dented w.y, he witn chauged voice and manner spoke of the army, ita suffer ings and devotion, and then passed on to his own conduct, saving: "If my conduct heretofore has not evinced to von that I have been a faithful friend to the army, my declaration to yon at -hi* time would be equally unavailing sud improper• • • tj, a t p, e ever left 'he side of the army except when called away by duty, but had ever >wwn their companion in distress and linger, and add*: "As I have cou*id -red my own military reputation as in •eparably connected with that of the army, as my heart has ever expanded with joy when I have heard it praised, and my indignation lias arisen when the mouth of detraction has been opened ig dust it, it can hardly lx suppose,! st this la*t stag*- of the war t' at 1 am in different to its interests." l.ut lie asks: H-.w are these inter**t* to be prwrvnl I Not, he plainly shows, by following the treasonable advice contained in the ad dress. He then pledges most solemnly his almost ability to see all their wrongs redressed, all th<-ir rights established. He oonjures them to rely on the plighted faith of their country, and tak ing fire as he proceeds, he exclaims; " Let me conjure you in the name of our common country, as yon value your own sacred honor, as you respect the rights of humanity, as yon regard the military or Rational character of Ameri ca, to express your utmost horror and detestation of the man who wishes, un der any specious pretenses, to overturn the liberties of our country, and who wickedly attempts to open the flood gate* of civil discord aud deluge our rising empire in blood." He closes up his stirring appeal by saying: "If you will do this, yon will by tee dignity of your conduct afford posterity occasion to say. when spaking of the glorious •■sample von have exhibited to man kind: ' Had this day beeu wanting, the world would never have seen the last stage of perfection to which human na ture is capaple of attaining.'" It was enough. Tne conspiracy was dead, and a deep murmur of delight- run through the audience, lb-moving his spectacles, he dtsoen ed the platform and* moved out through the assembly, each eye following the stately form as it disappeared through the doorway. Knox immediately arose, and moved that the thanks of the officers lie tender ed to the commander-in-chief for his ad dress, and " to assure him* that the offi cers reciprocated his affectionate cxpres Bona with the greatest sincerity of which the human heart is capable." It was carried with a unanimous and loud cheer. "Old i'ut," as he was called, then moved that a x>mmittee of three lie appointed go draft resolutions and report in half an honr. In half an hour the report was ready. The resolutions were short and spicy and to the point. They wero carried by acclamation, and that was the last ever heard of the an onymous address. BEWARE.—Let ladies beware of " lac ing back," "strapping up," or what ever the correct term is, their dresses too tightly; at least when they go to oourt. At one of the last drawing rooms a lady, after executing a most low and loyal oourtesy to Queen Victoria, found herself quite unable to " get straight " again and actually had to be helped into an upright position. "■HE CENTRE REPORTER. A lIt'NTKKN* CAMP. A N...111 kv I wi.ail.l WrvaaAs— Hrai.ri Ulv a. It U la I'lvtilaatlva. The " Huntera' Gamp " on the Oen tennial gtonnda is visited by hundreds daily. It is in a ravine and on a creek that runs through the park. A long piece of oak bark, pegged with its outer aide against a tree, with an inscription carved on its iuuer side with a jackknife, tells the visitor that the curious struc ture which he sees is " The Hunters' Cabin." It is reached by crossing a bridge of two log*, and if the visitor has a oaue he will prv.balily lap on the back with it to satisfy himself that they are not flesh aud bhod the tin ducks and drakes loatiug at anchor in the stream. Safe over, he is confronted by the hunter's watchdog a dwarfed brown War tethered to a tiw which shades the kitcheu and dining hall a little circular wall of sooty stoic , with a Mack iron |*>t hanging aluve it, ami sharp pointed roasting or toasting sticks loaning over its sides, ami a table made of a huge atrip of bark supported on fonr stoat twigs stuck into the grouml. A camp tire of logs is con stantly burning, near by, and at night it casta such a light through the wooded vale that the bloodthirsty redskins dread to approach the cabin. It suooeeda, also, in keeping the hunterr warm these frigid July days, and proves the moital foe of t'euteunial mosquitoes. The two chaps sitting at the table must be in sjHVted before a look is takeu at the cabin. They are attired in full Western hunter's costume, which is quite as out landish as Kobmaou Crusoe's—ooouskin cap, bnckskin tunic, w.th fringe hke a leathern dyuet for a horse, breeches of the same stuff and similarly fringed, and moccasins. With sharp sticks for forks, and with Arkansas toothpicks i fourteen inch butcher kuiTes), they are helping themselves from wooden platters to ltocky mountain venison obtuiued from Wt st i'hiiadt lphia steers, and to cracked Arrapahoe maize produced by liucks county savages. Three times a week they Lave hash, and on Suudays they sdo the luxury of bread made of nialXe meal, which they grind between flat stoues. Their speech does not la -k the t>eouliar charm of Western classics. While one " 'll be teetotally chawed up for a sucked egg " if he ain't n>ar s " gone coon " lor a " chawt a backer," the other ln)}s* he " may be toasted on forked lightning if he aiu t spun out eleaner'u a bar's tongue of everything 'cept crumb*,"' and •' these " he wants for " sniokiu"."

To cut the stnrv short, this hunters' cabin, with its eoute ts and surrounding*, afford a c >mplete illustra mm of the life of a Western hunter. It is improbable though that many of those daring >nd emturing pioneer* are tortunate enough to And for their head queriment is tteing tried, in tho first in stance, at Harwich, and as soon as a sufficient stock of birds has l>eon reared, it is proposed to keep relays on board the adjacent lightships, so that in case of a second wreck like that of the Dcntschland, requests for assistance conld be immediately conveyed to the authorities at Ilarwicn. London Beauties. It in no sli/ht work which the beau tics of London havo t<> perform, a cor respondent writes. As I heard one say to another the other night, on a crowd ed staircase, where people had Ix en waiting for half an honr unable to get odher np or down: "We have to go to a reception and a ball yet, and this is our third party to night," To drag aronnd from house to honse like this, night uf ter night, requires a constitution of cast iron, and most of these fair damsels seem to have it. The first rose of the year is not a more l>eantiful object than some of these girls, with their perfect forms and complexions as fresh and clear as the daylight. They are begin ning life without an anxiety or a care, and imagine that tbey will meet with nothing much worse on the road tlisn a dull party or stupid partner ; but we old stagers, who have trudged on a good way ahead, know very well the kind of entertainment which will presently be spread out before them. It seems to me that the crop of those beauties is more abundant than ever this year. CENTRE HALL, CENTR Till! MENNOMTKH. A llswrlsilM sfs Pvvallsr Heel Is mull. vasla—ltvw ihr? l.tvv at* Ureas. A correspondent writing from Lau castor, I'a., draws this picture of the Mennonites, a noted scot there: A rep resentative MetlUOUite is an object of curiosity. Traveler* goiug through this valley are puaaled to know whatk> make of them. Menuonite men xri nearly al ways alaive the medium heighL They are tall, straight, ami augular. They wear their straight, black hair rather loug, until it nearly reaches their shoul ders. Their coats are cut straight up ami diiwn. The material is of gray wool, aud ia home-made. There are no buttons ou their clothing, hooka and eyes beiug used instead. The vest is cut high; so is the shirt; aud around their necks they wear black scarfs or stocks. Vests, and wide, long, straight pantaloons, looking more like a pair of lings than like pantaloons, are of brown jeans, coarsely and rudely made up. There is uo style about them. The Menuouite costume consists of a black slouch nat with a very wide brim, which is worn a part of summer and all wiu tor. The men wear heavy cowhide boots in winter. This style of drees was worn by their fathers in this valley over two hundred years ago, ami has I wen wi ru ever since. The women wear black suu bonnet*, lined with pastelxtard ali|>s, brown calico gowns, and black woolen capes or shawls. Their feet are cov> red with blue stockings knit al home from wool raised on the farm, and rough kip shoes. Tim wumnu *n>, an a general thing, small ait compared with the stature of their husbands. Young an J old drww alike, so thai unless a close ius|xwtiou in made a man twenty years of age can hardly lie told from one fifty year* old. They stand quite erect, aud, like the Cbiuauieu, rereiuble racli other very much. The married women become plnmp and sluggish, and the young ladies may tie ever so handsome, yet they always look plain in their domestic garb, and their black eyes and rosy cheeks are bid away under the (laps of their uncommonly large sun bonnets. They are quiet, aud rarely smile. The old folks are more loquacious than the young. A fair daughter will go to church with her father and mother. She will sit between them, and look neither to the right nor to the left. At the close of the services all of them may stap in leaving the bull lug to recognise and |x*ak to friends for a short time, but the conversation is very limited. I visited one of Uietr farmhouses—a small, two-storv, atone house, with four small nx>ms and a kitchen. Tlnue was no car|xd ou the fl,xr*, ami ihe furni ture was neat and plain. The boards were scrubbed fresh mid clean; the win dows up stairs were open; the tx d*. pufTjl up with bouncing feather I-ul sters. looked sweet aud dean; extra ap parel hung on l>egs iu a corner, and a chest served for a wardrobe for the other clothing. The walls w ere white as the driven snow, and the pleasant air of the shady grove without bulged in the common paper curtains. Their diet is principally eggs and vegetables. They eat very little meat. About fifty yards from tb. ir dwellings are tin ir immense barns, Urge enough to hold a doses of the homa-s tl.ey live in. These tsirus contain the remains of the crop of last year. The stables are tilled with horaea and cow*. and in the outbnildiugs re the plain family car riage, wagons, plows, and other imple ment*. These men are hard working farmers, suu-bromuuly when it in ale. lately necessary. They would not know inglv wrong anybody. Their religion embraces the doctrine of the goldi n rule. One of their * ivling men. who has acquired a large fortune, will not take more than four jxr cent, for the use of his money, because, as he says, it is not fair, right, juat, nor lion eat to re ceive any more. It is certain, also, that there are plenty of them who loan money to their friends and uoightiors who do not ask even a Ixind, note, or collati ral, nor do they ask for or receive any interest. They sell nothing on credit. They keep no Recounts. Their verbal promise to pay is as good as a rtrt mortgage or a government bond. They never go to law, and crime is un known amoug them. Curious Farts About Blind Tom. Blind Tom'a birthplace is Georgia, and he begnn to excite attention as a musician at tie l age of four years. All sounds afford him delight; even the cry ing of a child causes him to ilauoe about in a state of ecstasy. Wlieu at home ho ofteu bit and piuehed his brothers and sisters to make them emit cries of pain. If kept away from a piano, lie will beat against tho wall, drag chain about the room, and make all sorts of noise*. When in London a flute was procured for him of a very complicated pattern, and having twenty-two keys. He fro qnently rises np at night and plays this instrument, imitating upon it all sorts of sounds which he may hear at the time. Once when the agent attempted to make him stop-playing a piano in a high toned hotel at three o'clock in the morniug, Tom seized liirn and throw him through the door. In Washington be threw a man down stairs who came into his room, at home in ox>rgia he lives in a building about two hundred yards from the house, aud there re mains alone with his piano, playing all day and night, like one possessed with mndnesa. Had weather has nu effect upon his music. In cloudy, rainy sea sons, ho plays somber music in minor chords; ami when the sun shines and the birds sing, he indulges in waltzes and light music. Sometimes he will hammer away for hours, producing the most hor rible discords imaginable. Suddenly a change conies over him, and he indulges in magnificent bursts of harmony taken from the best productions of the mas ters. Since his childhood ho has been an idiot, and he played nearly us well at the age of seven as bo does now ; bnt now his repertoire is mnch larger, as he I**l play anything ho has over heard. He now plays about 7,000 pieces, and picks up new ones everywhere. It is u curious fact that he will not play any Sunday school music if he can help it, having a great dislike for it. A subscriber, says the Hartford Pont, who signs his letter "Charles," writes us: "Something within mo tells mo I have genius. At dawn, at midday and eventide, I break forth in poetic song; my waking hours are musical with the lute tones of an unseen Orpheus, and in my sleep the muses bend lovingly o'er my ©ot. How shall I develop and perfect this inspiration—this divine af flatus—this gift of the gods ?" Come down to Hartford, Charles, and peddle clams. Of Course. G CO., PA., THURSDAY, JULY -7, 1870.

He served ill the army when fourteen years of sge, and in IWW, then only twenty, he, with a single coin|>aniun, started on an over laud trip around the world. The journey across tbe plains st that time waa par tirularly dangerous. Tbe Indians were suspicious and resentful of the encroach went of the whites. The frontier posts were insufficiently guarded, and, aa a conaequenoe, the savages hail grown bolder iu tbeir raids. The two young men left lawivenworth, Kan., with a can vas covered wagon and four light mules. Poratiout a mouth tliey traveled entirely alone, but on the borders of Nebraska they found the ludiaus so laid that they fouud it necessary to join a traiu for the purpose of mutual protection. Their paity numbered thirty four in all, and for nearly three weeks the purty waa lie net by (lands of hostile Hioux, who fol lowed them until they came to s mill tary post. Arriving at Denver, then just rising into prominence, the two young men visited the differeut mining camps and towns of Colorado, akirting the mountains to Biahop'a pass, and proceeded thence to Halt Lake City.

Expensive aa perflmties are demanded; we do not be lieve we have discharged oar duty to the dead, unleaa ire have honored him or her with at least an approach to pa geantry. We fancy that kinship or friend ship should be expressed in a prodigal outlay; that bereavement must be reck oned by disregard of dollars aud oenta. Except on the score of taste, there may be no objectiou to this. When any member of a rich or well to-do family dies, it is a question for relatives to de cide how expensive a funeral the de ceased ab ill have. If they wiah to make a great display; if they like to render his death more conspicuous than any thing in his life ha* been; if they want to advertise their income upon bis coffin snd it* accompaniment*, surely nobody should gainsay tliem. But when the dead waa poor; when he leaves a family with little or no means, it ia more than foolish to use the little they possess, or to incur indebtedness, in order to trick out his corpse, aud to send it to the cemetery in a manner they cannot afford, ami which certaiuiy can oe of no ptsMu blu benefit to him. By each worse than useless extravagance they wrong his memory and themselves, ami encourage a custom extremely unwise in itself aud decidedly mischievous in its results. Persons who can boat afford to bury their kuiafoiks or friends sumptuously, are loaa apt to do ao than (leraona who cannot afford it.

Washington, who understood Indian warfare the best of any man of hia time, held that surprise ia the one thing to bo guarded against, and that a commander who suffers a surprise is inexcusable. One of the few occasions on which he loet hia self-control and gave way to an uncontrollable outburst of anger was when the news came to him that General St Qi"r had fallen into an ambuscade in hia expedition against the Miama In diana. The news wan brought to him by a special messenger while he was at dinner with company. He went out to speak with the messenger, returned to his seat and went through the dinner with perfect composure and immediably attended Mrs. Washington's drawing room, speaking courteously to every lady. When the company had gone and Mrs. Washington had retired, leaving the President and hie secretary, Mr. Sear, alone, Washington broke out again and again in terrible expressions of wrath. " Yes," he exclaimed, •' here on thi very spot I took leave of him; I wished him SUCOMW and honor. • Yon have your instructions from the secre tary of war,' said I. ' I hail a strict eye to them and will add bat one word—Be ware of a surprise !' You know how the Indians fight us. I repeat it, • Be ware of a surprise. He went off with that, my last warning, thrown into his ears. And yet, to suffer that army to be cut to pieces, hacked, butchered, toma hawked by a surprise—the very thing 1 guarded him against—Oh, God ! Oh, God I" (throwing up his bauds and shaking with emotion) " he's worse than a murderer. How oan he answfir it to his oountry f The blood of the plain is upon him, the curse of widows and orphans—the curse of Heaven ! It is clear from this passionate outburst that Washington thought a commander who permits himself to be surpriued by In dians is without excuse. Affection. Mary Clemmer, in a recent Washing ton letter, says : We are approaching that line in the thermometer when from j a natural law human affections ieane, and even woman ceases to be a lovable being, for I persist that a woman with a perspiring face, in a sticky muslin, fighting flit s, is not a lovely or a lovable being. It ia merely a qneation of weath er when the capacity for romance ceases, and the power of human affection dies out of the lmman heart. Surely it must be easier to be affectionate, at the north than at the sooth pole.
