of the intetestaef the' great political or
ganization with which we are indentl.
1 tied, and" With whose growth and pros'.
perity the highest welfare of a Nation,
just saved from the treason of men who
were its and our enemies, is closely In
tertwined.
It Will be our aim to ittain tab the vital
Republican principles which have given
>our party its great glory, and its valid
'Claim t 9 , the gratitude of all loVers of
their eoantry and of mankind ; and
which have made for It a friefid of every
man, everywhere, who labors for the
overthrow of despotism, whose efforts
:',anti sympathies are or tire amelioration
of the condition of the oppressed, and
whose cherished purpose is the real en
largement
party ever deserved devoted friends snore
than that whose flag we follow, and none
has in the Barrie period of time; achieved
so much. Itislass than eleven years since
it fought.lts first battle; and• less than'
seven since it won. its first victory. In
the spring of 1861 it received in its care,
the government of the Union; and at
once met, and ultimately overthrew; the
most formidable conspiracy against Lib
- -• erty ever organized.. It has gathered and
is gathering the fruits of this splendid
Triumph, In offering to - the :defeated
' Rebels of the gonth a plan of Recon
struction wkich, if carried out in all its
parts, will* due time restore them to
their old place in the Union asa part of
its goven:dpgpower, ``olothed and in their
--right mind," purged of all the old ele
ments of weakness, and their old lxistitn
tion of vileness, and fit to claim recogni
tion as Free Governments guaranteeing
to every citizen freedom of speech, arid
the perfect and equal protection of the
law.
A pat h thus = positi ve and progressive .
must ne?ds have enemies. Ours has
l ' 'them, / ln i tter an yet harmless. The"
- glorieus past is ecure. The future Win
Is ours, It will gather laurels from every
field, for it has energy and fidelity , for its
agencies, patriotism for its motive, and
Truth and; Huinanity for its objects. A
Nation saved from the jaws of death into
which it was hurried by the Democratic
party in 1861, \ -Nvill never forget the faith
ful men whoSteLitsdned its undermined
,efedit, carried aloft ftz•trailed banner, as
serted the majesty'of its defied laws, and
called to the field faithful millions to de
fend every sentimentatd interest which
a brave people hold dear; nor carlithey
forget 'those debauched and shivering
northern democratic leaders, the same in
spirit and theory now 'as then, who said
not a word, and did not a deed in-vindi
cation of the ontraged sovereignty of the
Government, during those.dark and fear
ful days. When Americans have forgot
ten all the stern teachings of the recent
past ; and have determined to overlook
and forget theshocking Treason of which
they were well nigh thehopeless victims;
when memory shall cease to play, and
judgment to act, and p4riotiam to in
spire, then we may look for a restoration
to power in the Nation, of the wicked
men whose incipient crimes were the oc
casion of all the bloodshed of Bie l past
i livee, years. Until then, the Republican
1 organization will continue to direct the
course of the Republic in paths of peace;
and justice, andprosperity. I
Whilst we are thus distinctly and dis
tinctively REPUBLICA_N in our political
principles; we propose not to neglect the
character of our journal as a Newspaper.
On the other hand we propdse to make
its well-filled columns the repository of
- ' the General News of the Day, the News
of the adjoining Counties, the Condition
of the Markets at home and abroid, and
especieily -such LOCAL MATTERS RS will
constitute it a Mirror of the Life of our
people. To this end, we request our
friends to inform us promptly of 'inci
dents in their respective neighborhoods,
the particulais of the sale of Real Estate
made, and all items - indicating the een
dition of business.
We intendto iiirnish our readers with
a.' good a Newspaper as our labor and
means can prepare, and we trust that the
relations now censtituted between our
selves and a body of patrons of , whom
I any

blishers might be proudymay long
contin ; -and that the kind feeling with
which w begin our enterprise may be
maintained as long as, we are faithful to
the Cause of the Country. -

Of ose Free principles which are char
acteristic of the political institutions
and spite - ma of the NOrthern States. We
„understand that Senator WiLSON of Mas
sachusetts wbo started upon his recent
tour through the South with one set of
convictions,. has returned with the idea
that it may yet be necessary to introduce
a mild system of Confiscation before the
Southern States can be considered fit ;for
restoration to political power in the Ham
against which tliey causelesslyand cruel
ly rebelled. TO bloody reception Judge
KELLEY" had at Mobile tends to confirm
the opinion that the South has not Iyet
learned the lessons of the war; or, hav-
ing learned, is unwilling to accept tikein..
In this emergency we are glad to know
thatt , hegreat Republican leader, to whom
the coun c *iore indebted for what has
been ac "bed than trEtt other man,
Hon. THADDEUS STEVENS, is still firm in
his purpose to demand the enactment of a
menaure which will secure compensation
to citizens of the Union who suffered from
the military movements of our armies
from Rebel raids, and will at the same
time work a healthy change in Southern
Society. Our readers will remember Mr.
STEMEN's letter in April last, on this sub
jeCt. We have the pleasure to-day- of
subjoining.another leiter, written to Mr.
Senator M6CONALIGNY of this county,
who has placed it at our disposal for pub
lication. The case is powerfully but
briefly presented, and the letter will at
tract the attention of the country, as well
fro x the position of its author as the icrt--
,p6rtance of the topic, it discusses :
• LANCASTER, PA., MAY 20th, 1867.
DEAR SIR :—Short as your letter is, I
fear I cannoto answer it !without violating
an injunction of my medical adviser,
"not to suffer myself to become excited."
You live in a region which was two or
three times invaded by the armies of Jef
ferson Davis. In the counties of Bedford,
Fulton, Filenklin, Cumberland, Adams
' and York, they visited almost every farm -
er and other inhabitant, and plundered
them of their horses, cattle, pro Visions,
wagons, •and money, when found. Be
sides some detached cases, they laid in
ashes one thriving village of 6000 people,
and turned the inhabitants houseless in to
the streets, to seek shelter in fence corner..
No provision has ever been, made, or is
now making, to re-imburse the plundered
citizens.
By the 11W of nations, a government
makes no compenation for damages.don6
by an in wading army, unless such govern
meit be victorious, when it always pro
vides by treaty for the payment by the
vanquished enemy. ,A government which
neglects to make such provision on be.
half of its plundered citizens, is basely
negligent of its duty. A quasi peace ex
ists between the late belligerents, the
terms of which are dictated wholly by
Congress which is under the control of
the, Reptiblican party. Nothing but the
proceeds of the confiscation of a small
portion of the property oirealthy rebels
can be applied topay the damages inflicted
by these - marauders, unless it be paid out,
of4hiTreasury of the 'United States. A
few . Nßepublin naeteon3. always. erratic
in their cokirse, lire flitting through and
'exploding in the Republican atmosphere.
They attract sufficient public attention
to enable them to assure-the amiable reb
els who inflicted this injury, that they
need fear no confiscation, that nobody of
Any. note in the North is in' favor of im
posing such punishment for the sake of
remuneration or of justice. They assure
them that nothing shall be taken'from
Aiken's estate of millions, frgpa Hamp
ton, Davis, Orr, Faulkner, or from a thou
sand others who azestill worth their hun
dreds of thousands, to re-imbnse the loyal
men, North and South, who were plun
deiheci of their estates; and 10 aid your
poor neighbors to rebuild their humble
tenements.
It is soiscely - to be 'endured that Con
gress fortwo sessions, should sit indiffer
ent to these sufferings and • take no steps
to enforce these rights. These remarks
apply to large portions of M,str3rland, of
West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Mis
souri, as well as to the slavOtates.
He who can patiefttly listen to that pu
trid humanity which we no* see propaga_-
ted, has more command of himselfthan I
have. Indeed it looks as if we wene'still
to add to the burden of our taxation to
defray the expenses of transportation and
the ovation of triumphant traitors. But
I must stop, or I shall commit the fault
against which I have been warned,
With great respect,
Your Obedient servant,
THADDEUS STEVENS.
The consolidation of the Sentinel and
the Star, has given to the new paper a
circulation larger by one-half than that
of any paper ever published in the
County.
The Star and Sentinel will be read by
nearly every, active business man in the
county, and will reach the families of
most of its substantial qtizens.
We hope to increase this circulation,
large as it is, for it is our purp9se to print
a newspaper of such merit as to be enti
tled to public patronage. But, whether
this be so or not, it is important to adver
users to remember and appreciate the
advantages we can now offer them.
We have made a few improvements In
the paper, and intend to make others
from time to time, with the view to print
one of the best Family and Political Pa
pets in the State. Nothing will be, left
undone ,pn the part of the Editors „to
d-e
make their present relations to rears
metnally pleasant.
We will occupy the old Star Office in .
Baltimore street,- where we will be glad
to see our friends at all times. But the
rooms'being small, we have contracted
for the erection of an extensive addition
in the rear of tke present building; ttnd
will, in 'a few weeks, have all needed fa
cilities tor the transaction of our 'business.
With our improved presses ? new type;
and the Job type of the two offices, we
have on hand special facilities for print
ing every kind of Job Work, to great
advantage.

STEVENS- HALL."
Though every School house in the Slate
is a monument of the deVotion of TRAD-•
DEUS STEVENS to the great catNe r of Gen
eral Education, the graceful act of the
Trustees of Pennsylvania College in litit
week formallY naming their new Prela te atory Building, - STEvnss HALI, in re
cognition of his active agency iu the es
tablishment and maintenance of the pot
lege,,is honorable to their discernment;
and must be grateful to the feelings of
that great man who spent the prim% of
his useful and eventful life in this Town
and County.
2:_.6„..VI'ILLIAINt L. SIIARELEY, of
hang lost his.lnjunetioncacase in
the Sup •eine Court of the United States,
has gone home, sad and sore, and still in
sists that Mississippi should not consent
to reconstruct under the laws of Congress.
Mr. SHARKEY is a Senator elect, and is
very likely to be "we out in the cold" in
the new Reconstruction which is impen
ding. 4 91ehee these tears." He is a ven
erable relic of the past. He forgets that
there was a Rebellion ; or that it failed.
He thinks, 'the Rebels should have as
than rights as they would have had, if
it had succeeded. Here, he differs" from
m6t of those who fought and labored to
Out down the Rebellion. 'Hereafter, loy 7 ,
alty will assert its rights in the South - f
and such men as Mr. SHARKEY are po
litically dead. But if it is any satisfaction
to them, let their tongues waggle. No
body cares. 11 7 c don't believe in shooting
a man, because he don't agree with us in
opinion, or speech.
g4`Democratic papers are busy ju,iti
fying the murderous riot in Mobile, when
.Judgc KELLEY undertook to speak on
behalf of the Republican: party.
The justification is, that Judge 181F.1.-
--
LEY sdd some dings which were not
agreeable to a portion of thq hearers
If this lsort of thing is to juSdlfy shooting
a publig speaker, there can be no more
public meetings held anywhere iu the
country.
The truth is, the Rebels of the South
don't intend to allow free discussion, lest
their past misdeeds and crimes be ex
posed, and a misled and betrayed people
be induced to abandon their old leaders,
and organize on the basis of a true Re
publicanism. But they are too late.—
The Republican party will carry a ma
jority of the Insurrectionary States, and
continue to be the dominant party iii the
nation.
The men who defended the South Car
olina BROOKS in his murderous assault
upon Senator Sur it, for language
spoken in debate, have congenial em
ployment now iu, defending the _Mobile
dot as they had last year in palliating
the New Orleans Massacre.
for'Col. Samuel McKee, of Kentucky
defeated for re-election to Congress by
about SOU mitjority, has issued an Ad
dress to the Union voters, in which he
states that he could' have had 2,000 ma

Rebel soldiers who were allowed to vote
and who all supported the Democratic
candidate.

Q - Kentueky has become a very lawless
State, according to the statement of the cor
respondent of The Cincinnatti Gazelte,Who
writes :
"At a fair estimate two negroes per day in
Kentucky are beaten, outraged, maimed, burn
ed, or murdered. Under the Civil Rights law
over 50 murders and more than 2t,0 cases of
outrage upon black citizens have been repor
ted by the civil and military authorities. Du
ring the past year alone over 500 murders and
outrages upon negroes have occurred in Ken
tucky. This only includes such cases as were
officially noticed by,the United States Com
missionerS, Civil Courts of Agents of the
Freedmen's Bcfreau;and it is fair to presume
that 100 or 200 more cases occurred which
were never reported-at - all or acted on official
ly. But a single Judge in the State—the Won.
Wm. C. Gogdloe, who has always been loyal,
and was arraigned last Winter by the Legis ;
lature for h 1 loyalty—has recognized the
statutes psssed by Congress, and admitted ne
gro testimony into his courts. All the rest
of the Judges have either ignored the law or
nullified iks effects."

created in Chambersburg, on Saturday after
noon of Week before last, by the ringing of
the Court House and Market House bells for
a lost child. The child had been away from
home some time; and the parents becoming
uneasy, on account of a party of Gypsies that
had been prowling around town, who they,
feared - had carried the child off, caused the
bells t be rung. One lady declared that she
had seen the Gypsies taking the child with
them. During the afternoon the child was
found quietly sleeping under a bed in a neigh

PPOPOSED MEllo,ltfiL CHERUB.
On list Saturday morning, a number of our
citiztns 'assembled, by invitation, at the
houil of J. L. l.k.itteK., Esq., to hear an ex
plaultition of the project for the erection of a
Meriorial Church in Gettysburg by the
Methodist' Episcopal denomination. The
idea:was, taniceived by Rev. B. 11...UnEAVEn,
the . Presiding Elder of this district, who has
given much time to its elaboration. It is
now in a state of cousidurablo fvrwardnes2;;
and there is little doubt that it will be accom
plished. The purpose is to raise t.i0,000,1_
An Association has been formed, of which
Gen; GEARY is President. Tickets of mem
bership can be procured for $4 - 1. After a full
explimation and a general ititcrehamre of
vie+, the following- resoluti,m, offered by
Mr. MCPitEusoN, was unanimously adopted :
Revolve 1, That we have heard with pleas
ure and interest the statement of Rev. B. H.
CRE /V Ell, in regard to the project to erect. a
Memorial Church in liettyaburgi under the
supervision of the Methodist Episcopal
Churqh, and believing the project to be prac
ticable and eminently commendable, we
pledpc our cordial co operation in the move
ment.
The church is to be of granite
GETTYSBURG -.BUILDING ASSUCIA
TION.—AII the Stick in this Association Was
been taken-500 shares at $2.50 each—making
the Capital $12.5,000. The last three shares
were sought 1,2; several parties, and brought
a premium of $1.30 per share. The Associa
tion will be of great benefit to the town, will
stimulate the spirit of improvement, and in
crease the facilities for building. It is in the
hands 'of 'public-spirited citizens who will
secure for the cointrinttity all the benefits it
can COll fen
THE ADAMS COUNTY AGRICULTU
RAL. SOCIETY.—The Fin Annual Fair of
this Society will be held on the Fair Grounds
is Gettysburg, In September next. The
Board of Mar.agers are pushing the improve
ments with great energy. They have bought
1S items of land with a front on' High Street
of flop ie l t, and hare laid out a half-mile
track. uVier the general direction of Jos Eru
S. Gin, I•:sq., civil engineer. This track
when c.inipieted, it is claimed will be the
best halt-mile track in the country. The
grounds are to be enclosed by the first of
July, and the track will be tit for use about
that time. The entrance to it is hut four
squares from the Diamond, and is approached
by a good pavement up to the gate. The
prospects of a good - Fair are very promising,
a. all that is neceterary to wake it a great
• is that the friends of Agriculture,
ire
nnestie
,ludustiy, and all who Teel
a ire to promote the prosperity of the
County, should lend a helping hand. With
in a few years, the productiveness of our
County has largely increased; bat there is
no.reason why the progress of our farmers
may not be more rapid in the future than it
has been in the past, Among the beneficent
agencies at work, none has been more wide
ly felt than the Agricultural Society which
for four yqdrs had its headquarters at Ben
dereville, but has Sow been removed to a
location in this place made memorable by
its associations with the great war for the
Union. The Managers are trying to sell
Life tickets at it 10, and will take in exchange
the Season tickets now held, at their cost,
Many of our citizens will prefer to have a
Life ticket; and a proper effort will realize
as much from this source as the Managers
require for present purposes. Let all unite
to make the Fair.= overwhelming success.
We understand that the fence around the
Fair Grounds at Benderaville has been torn
down, for:removal to the new Grounds at
Gettysburg. The Managers have received
offers from various farmers and others own-
lug teams to do one or more days' hauling
and it is hoped that this material may be re
moved without much cost to the Society.
OUR NEW COLLECTOR OF INTER
NAL REVENUE.—We had recently a visit
from the newly-appointed Collector, Cu.ts.
W. ASTICOM, Esq., of Hopewell, Bedford
county. Mr. Asucom is a cltar-headed bu
s

able personal character, and off sound politi
cal ptinciples. To those whti have knoWn
him as long as the writer of this, no assur
ance is necessaryithat he will 'well discharge
the duties of his responsible office. We un
derstand that it is his purpose to, collect the
Revenue himself in Bedford, Franklin and
Adams counties, giving Fulton and Somer
set to Deputy Collectors. This will require
him to spend a few days in each month in
Gettysburg, of which due notice Will be
glyen. is understood that the tax assess
