COSHHIpES. THE PRESIDENT. AND RE
CONSTRICTION.
We had space last week only to'notice
t fact that President Jo'omo:es Attor
. .
ne eVneral, Mr. STANBERY, had "dri
ven inoach and four" ,through 'the Re
construction Act. He:has found that it
has hardly any force. When the Attor
ney General prepared the President's
veto,of it, he denounced it as placing the
people of the Rebel States under the
"absolute domination'of military rulers."
He now declares that „the military rule
authorizedby the act, is purely a police
power, with no right to abrogate, or set
aside the existing civil rule! He either
wrote a veiy dishonest Veto, or has given
a very dishonest Opinion. His ability
to do both is probably explained by the
fact that his overmastering passion is
hostility to the whole purpose of the bill;
and that, the Veto having failed to fright
enOongress from its enactment, he has
now no other road to his cherished pur
pose than to "construe away" all its ef
fective provisions. It is an exprizossive
commentary upon President JOHNSON'S
good faith, that he approved both the
Veto and the Opinion; and that he is
now engaged, actively, in devising
ft. means to nullity the , law.
This has alarmed the country. And
Congress will meet on the 3d of July to
see if it cannot enact another law so
plainly written that even a subtle and
unscrupulous legal mind cannot find
grounds for advieing a headstrong and
embittered Executive to evade it.
The new instructions prepared by the
•Attorney General, were formally adopted
in Cabinet meeting. The Secretary of
War voted against most of them. If ex
ecuted, they will open wide the doors to
Rebel registration, will contiren-inoillse
every Rebel who is exerting his official
intluenee to prevent Raconstruction, and
will strengthen the hands of those in the
South who are opposing re-union under
Congressional legislation. Its effect, if
unchecked, would
_be indefinitely to,de
lay restoration, to keep alive the resent
ments .of the war, and to prolong the
agitation -now distracting the country.
Congress will not consent to this, and an
early session is necessary to ward off the
calamities threatened by this new devel
opment of "Conservative" malice.
But whatever else may be said of the
Attorney General, the Cabinet, and the
President; it cannot be said that they
have courage pridportionate to their hate.
For they are unwilling to apply theik
4 . doctrines to the past, and refuse to rectify
Al what they pronounce to be wrongs com
mitted by U. S. Officers. They refuse to
restore Monroe as Mayor of New Orleans,
or Wells as Governor of Louisiana.—
They turn their backs also on Mayor
Withers of Mobile. They permit tire
"patriots" to remain under the heePof
Geneisl Pope and General Sheridan ;
butadvisithe latter to "do so no more."
If these acts were without legal author
ityrthei should be annulled. On the
other hand if the law gave those officers
power to sweep ay obstacles to good
go r vernment, theriihould not be snubbed
and insulted for exercising it.
The President by his shnffiin g-course
has.time developed the depth of his ha
' tred of the law contemplating early and
loyal Reconstruction ; and, at the same
time, has given the people another proof
of his want of that true courage which
springs from principle.
THE facts in Alabama illustrate the
sort of reconstruction which President
JOHNSON effected ; and which it is now,
we hope, the determined purpose of Con
gress wholltto itweep away.t ver two
thirds of the Clerks of Courts, nd Sher
iffs of the State, were elected t in conse
quence of their conspicuous service in
the Rebel armies ; and they are summon
ing juries of their comrades. The Judges
are of the iaame class, and a Union man
has nowii more chance of justice before
an Alabama Court, than he has had, for
some years, in York, or Montgomery, or
Berks county in this State. We trust
our new jury law will correct the gross
wrong here; and that an effective and
thorough Reconstruction, based upon the
loyal elements of the South, will like
wise-reform the Courts of the South.
Most of the public offices, in all the Re
bellious States, are filled with men who
are as hostile to the United States Gov
eminent to-day, as they were in 1861
when, they were inciting to an armed
conflict. They were chosen at elections
from which loyal men were deliberately
and; systematically excluded but they,
are likely to pass away with the "policy,"
of which they were the fruits.
RECENTLY, the two branches of the
Republican party in Virginia harmon
ized, and agreed upon a joint call for a
State Convention to meet next month in
i Richmond. There is hardly a doubt of
' the memo of the movement, or the °vet
throw of the old "Secesh" aristocracy,
who under the pretence of being "Con
servative," have aimed to re-establish
themselves in the government of the "Ole
Dominion."
The Richmond Whig, one of the organs
of that treacherous class, wails forth its
"chagiin, disappointment, and disgust,t l
for it had perseveringly comforted itself
wlth the delusion, that the amiable, for
giving, and self-denying Republicans of
Virginia would take no steps to prevent
the friertids and followers of Jeff: Davis
jizoni capturing and holding the political

of the Great CiVil .War,” and impeaks
for it a larketirculatiBn in order to refute
"many of. the false principles, promulga

country is flooded,'"
This book was written by Mr. •R. G.
Horton, and published by Van Eyrie,
Horton & Co., of New York, publishers
of the New York I Day Book, a „paper
which his openly expressed a preference
for Jefferson Davis as the next President
of the United States, and which, in an
article publisillp us last week, boast
ingly proclaim 'Min the great Ameri
can martyr.
We have seen this book, anefind it tu
be such a one as the Intelligencer's warm
endorsement led us to expect. It pub
lishes approvingly Davis's speech on
leaving the Senate to become President
of the Confederacy ;pronounces pronounces Lincoln
to be a bastard ; throws the responsibility
of the war upon the United States au
thorities; slurs over the Baltimore riot
of April, 1861 gloats over 'the absurd
Rebel stories shout the first Bull Run ;
even belittles 0 - cClellan for his laurels
won in West Virginii; treats as crimes
McClellan'e dispersion of the Maryland
Legislature! of 1801, and the seizure of
active Rebel emissaries everywhere ; talks
contemptuously of thd "Northern army,"
the "abolition army," &c. ; endorses
Winder's humanity to prisoners; says
Gen. Sherman has made a name which
will forever be associated with cruelty
and barbarism; justifies the New York
riots of July, A 863 aa,intended for a pro •
-
per purpose ; talks I glibly of Grant's
"slaughter-peps where he hammered his
own gallant ; men to sure destruction
withhut making the least visible impres
sion upon the enemy" ; speaks of Mr.
Lincoln as la trickster, a falsifier, and
an oath-breaer" ; and of his career as
President as "shameless four years of
deceptions, falsehoods, and crimes against
liberty," wh4e John Wilkes Booth is
extolled as young man of no ordinary
character, noted for his generous, manly
deportment, and dearly beloved by all
his associates' - ' ; denounces the Court
which tried the conspirators as an "ille
gal Court," and as without rightto try
them, and their execution as in law
"murder," &q., &c.
Our readeni, can. infer from these allu
sions gathered from various parts of the
book, what is its spirit, what its general
contents, and howilt it is to be treated as,
in any sense, a history. Yet this conspicu
ous Democratic paper commends as valu
able and timely - ,a book which is filled with
libellous statements respecting Union
Generals, Union armies, and Union men,
and omits no opportunity of glorifying
the "Lost Cause," and of almost deifying
its traitor chiefs.
The spirit of the book has been faith'
fully re-produced in the resolutions of
the Harrisburg Convention—the handi
work of Judge BLAesc and FRANK
HUGRES.
THE trial of JOHN H. SURRATT, for
complicity in the nihrder of President
LINCOLN; is progressing slowly at Wash
ington. The prosecution is conducted by
District Attorney CARRINGTON, assisted
by Judge PIERPONT, of New York. The
The defence is managed by the Messrs.
BRADLEY and Judge MEl:own. The
prosecution is weaving around Sunaarr
a strong and apparently irresistable chain
of circumstantial evidence, from which it
is difficult to see how he can escape.—
Sergeant JOSEPH M. EYE, of Philadel
phia, had testified before the Military
Commission on the trial of BOOTH and
the other conspirators, to the effect that
he was present in front of the theatre on
the night of the assassination, and saw
three men actively participating in the
movements which immediately preced
ed the assassination, one of whom he
identified as BOOTH, another as SPANG
LER, but was unable to name the third,
who called out the time to BOOTH. Ser 7
geant NYE was called to the stand by Mr.
CARRINGTON, and on being confronted
by Sr:ratter; pgisitively and without
qualification identified•him as this third
party. Some six others witnesses cor
roborate Sergeant NYE as to SunnArrr's
presence in Washington during the after
noon and evening of the fatal day. SUR-
Exrr's friends have heretofore claimed
that he was not in Washington on that
day, and announced their purpose to
prove an alibi. How they are to get over
,this testimony remains to be seen. In
l additiorf to this, the prosecution has an
nounced its purpose to trace Stranarr on
his flight from Washington on the night
of the assassination, and show his where
abouts to the day heeailed.for Europe.—
Among the witnesses produced is a police
man who was in charge of the depot at
St. Albans, Vermont, who testified to a
stranger sleeping in the depot a night or
two after the assassinaton, and leaving
behind him a handkerchief, which, •or
being picked up by the policeman, was
found to have the name of JOHN H. Sun-
RArr on it. The handkerchief was pro
duced in Court.

ground tactics which their quartz mining had
taught them. They attacked the tunnel at
both ends, and then sunk a shaft in the mid

ed both ways. The tunnel will be 1,600 feet
long through the solid rock. It was commen
ced last September, and on the first of June
only 441 feet remained to be taken out. The
progress they made is sixty feet per week, at
which rate the job will be completed by the
first of August—eleven months from the time
ground was broken' Is not this marvelous
progress? After passing the mountain the
way is open without serious obstacles to over

VISIT OE GEN. GRANT AND GOY.
GEAUY.—Thursday Ilk was an interesting
day in Gettysburg. At an early hour, digs
were flung to the breeze, the streets were
lighted up with strangers and the busy crowd
teemed with expeatation. Visitors came in
from all parts of the county, and many from
neighboring counties to see the great Captain
of the age, and the worthy Soldier who so
faithfully arid fearlessly discharges the high
duties of the Executive Office in our State.
'By the noon train; Gov. GEARY, Deputy
Secretary Gras, Private Secretary DUNG
irssoN, and several ladies arrived, and took
lodging at the Franklin House. Gen. GRANT
failed to make connection in Baltimore, in
the morning ; and leaving Baltimore at 12.10,
was brought by special train from 'Hanover
Junction, and arrived by 4 o'clock. He was
met at the 'depot by Gov. GEARY and the
Committee of Arrangement of the Board of
Commissioners of the National Cemetery.—
As the party reached the street, they were
loudly cheered by the large crowd who had
gathered. They repaired to the residence of
DAVID Witas, Esq., Where Gen. Galan and
his aid Gen. PORTER remained during their
stay. So great was the anxiety of the crowd
that they immediately called ont Gen.
'GRANT . and Gov. GARY who were introdn
sod to large numbers in attendance. The
former declined to speak; but the latter re
sponded in some happy remarks which were
well received.
g'orat
After dining, the party visited the field
4v.eat of the toliti, and also rode out to Ceme-
Wry Hill—the next morning completing
their examination of the entire field. In the
evening an impromptu entertainment was
given them - at the Franklin House by the
Commissioners of the Cemetery ; and Friday
afternoon, Gen. GRANT left for Washington,
and Gov. GEABY for Harrisburg.
The occasion was one of great interest, as
it enabled all our citizens to see the great sol
dier who had the honor of _giving the last
deadly blow to the Rebellion, and whose
name is enwrapped with the whole history
of the war. Some regret was felt at this fail
ure to speak ; but it is known that,the nearest
he ever got to making a speech was on a re
cent visit to Washington, Penna., when he
told the impatient and persistent crowd "that
they would get wet now if they did not go
home out of the rain !" General GRANT is
man of deed, rather than word, and the
American people mast become accustomed,
and reconciled, to this peculiarity.
He expressed great gratification at his visit,
and expressed a hope that 'circumstances
would be such as to allow him to participate
in the ceremonies of the inauguration of the
Monument in the National Cemetery, on the
4th of July, 1808.
MEMORIAL CHURCH.—The project to
erect a Memorial Church, in Gettysburg, to
commemorate the Christian element so
largely represented in the war for the sup
pression of the Rebellion, is assuming defi
nite shape, and bids fair to be success.—
On last Thursday evening, a public meeting
was held in the Court-house, to inaugurate
the movement. The Court-house was dense
ly crowded with ladies and gentlemen.—
Gov. GEARY presided, while Gen. GRANT
and other distinguished gentlemen honored
the occasion with their presence. As Gen.
GRANT and Gov. GEARY entered the Court
room, side by side, a storm of applause
greeted them, whicth continued for several
minutes. Gov. GEARY opened the meeting
with a few brief remarks, explanatory of the
object, which had his most cordial approval.
and introduced the Rev. Mr. CREVER, of
the M. E. Church, who in an eloquent and
earnest speech urged the prosecution of the
enterprise as one appealing to the patriotic
and christian sentiment of the land, and em
inently fitting to commemorate the heroism
of our Christian soldiery who had conse
crated themselves to the cause of the Union,
and in its defence had given their lives. The
Association was organized by electing Gov.
Geary President, Rev. H. B. Crever Secre
tary, with Gem. Grant, Meade, Howard,
Sykes, and Hancock, Bishops Simpson and
Ames, Hon. Edward M'Pherson, Speaker
Colfax, and other distinguished gentlemen,
as Managers.
A number of subscriptions were then
made, by persons becoming members of the
Association, after which it was announced
that another meeting would be called to or
ganize a local auxiliary association, and can
vass for subscriptions. Repeated calls were
made for Gen. GRANT, but having long
since announced his purpose nOt to make
public speeches, it soon bedame evident that
he was determined to "fight it out on this
line," and he lett the meeting at its close,
amid another 'tempest of applause. Hon.
E. McPtissson was also called on, but he
had left the room a few minutes previouslyt

for business the second week in August.
JUDICIAL SALES. —Last winter the Leg
islature passed an Act in' regard to Judicial
Sales, the 2nd and Brd sections of which more
particularly should be borne in mind by
purchasers of real estate.' The 2nd section
provides that private sales made by order of
Court, underthe Act of 1853, shall discharge
the premises sold from the lien of the debts
of the decedent, except debts of record, and
debts secured by mortgage. The Brd section
provides that when the lien of a mortgage
on real estate is prior to all other liens - ex
cept other mortgages, ground rents, dra g the
lien of such mortgage is not to bedestroyed
or in any way affected by any judicial or
other sale. A case occurred in Harrisburg,
only a day after this law went into force,
where a party bid $5,000 on a Certain proper
ty, against which was a mortgage of $5,000
thus, by the terms of this 'Lai the purchaser
becoming responsible for the payment of
$lO,OOO, for that for which he had oily bid
$5,000. Bidders at judicial sales had better
hereafter have the records of mortgages, Ac.
examined, and regulate their bids accord
ingly.
THE ClV.S.—Much anxiety is express
ed throughout some sections of the country
in reference to the coming harvest. It Is felt
that a great deal depends upon the present
year's crop of grain, as well commercially
and financially, :as in Individual cases.—
Against this country there are heavy balan
ces in the old world, and as a commercial
equilibrium mast be maintained--we must
either export grain or gold. The more of the
former wo can make useful in payment, the
more healhy it will be for our finances,
which are at present in a somewhat embar
rassed condition. The nation always de
pends upon its agricultural product* and
never more than nowt Europe pays tribute
to us, and leans upon the bounty of oar
The present indication are that the harvest
will be a bountiful one of cereals. and also
of fruit in some sections of country, but not
so much so in this section.
As a proof, we have the rapid decline in
the price of flour. There are several heavy
speculators in wheat, who have recently fail
ed ; yet there are millions of bushels in the
West. May old Mother Earth give us a
large yield, and we will thankfully receive
it as a special gift from Providence.
SUNDRY ITEMS.—The session of the
Normal School will close next Friday, to be
resumed in six. weeks.—The Commence
ment at Mt. St. Mary's College takes place
'to-day; the exercises at St. Joseph's to-mor
row. The ladies connected with the Catholic
church, Emmittsburg, will give dinners and
suppers during those days, the proceeds to
go towards erecting a steeple on their church.
—Jacob Benner has been elected Treasurer
of the Alms-House.—Capt. McCurdy has re
built the Railroad bridge over Rock Creek.
—Sheriff Hann last Saturday night arrested
near Graeffenberg, Isaac Kane, charged with
being engaged in the stealing of the horse of
Capt. Witmor and Mr. rower, a year or
more ago. He was lodged in jail.
A FINE IMPROVEMFT.—The ddd Fel
lows Hall Association of York Springs
have contracted for the erection of a Hall,
30 feet by 65, three story brick, iron front.
The contractor is C. A. PEACOCK, at $8.390.
Work is to be begun at once, and the Hall
to be finished by the Ist of January. The
plan contemplates a large store room 43n the
first floor, a Town Hall on the second, and
a Lodge room on the third. The location is
on the old Gardner corner, above Hartman
and Sadler's store.
HOSIE PAPERS.—Recollect if a home
weekly paper is to be supported, home in
fluence must do it. A county acquires pro
minence through its papers more than in any
other way, and to every one who has an in
terest in his county at heart, his home paper
is a necessity. Never will such a man take
a paper from home until he is able to take . a
second paper. His first paper will be his
home sheet and he will so identify his own
interest with that of his county paper, as to
consider his subscription as much • matter
of yearly duty as payment of his taxes.
STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL.—There
will bs a Festival, with abundance of Ice
Cream and Strawberries, at the Hunterstown
M. E. Church on Thursday and Friday even
ings 27th and 28th inst., the object of which
is the payment of a debt hanging over the
Chum*.
The Gettysburg Orchestra has been engaged
and wi II be present on the occasion to enliven
the entertainment with some of their choicest
music. A pleasant time is anticipated and
all are cordially invited to be present.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
have made the first Monday of May, 1888,
return day for Adams, York and Lancsater
counties.
14TH N. Y S. M.—Last week we noticed
the proposed excursion of one of the military
companies from New York to this place, on
the 4th of July. We learn that the compa
ny go to Philadelphia on the Ist, and spend
a day in that
_city, reaching, Gettysburg on
the evening of the 3d, and leaving on the
morning of the sth. During their stay they
will quarter at the "Eagle Hotel,". Col. TATE
Proprietor, and on the 4th will visit the Bat
tle-fiele The 14th is said to be one of the
best drilled regiments of Nev York, and
will.doubtless make a-soldierly display..
BADLY CUT.—We learn that on Friday
of week before last, Mr. George Fettle; of
Union township, was severely alit lathe leg
while engaged in cutting lumber with. an
adze, which slipped, cutting an ugly gash i n n
Mr. F.'s foot.
We - are also informed that Mr. Samuel
Palmer, of the same township, met with a
similar accident while chopping wood. In
both cases medical aid was required.

Pennsylvania, Dismal of Maryland, &Axe

DAVID WILLS, Esq., President of the Asso
ciation, called the meeting to order, and in the
absence of Mr, BAnzurrr, the regular Secre
tary, Mr. Atm was elected Secretary pro
tem. After the reading of the minutes, and
hearing reports of committees and the Treas
urer's report, General J. W. Horx.m.ak, Secre
tary of the "Reynold's Monument Committee,"
was introduced, and stated that the Commit
tee had determined to erect a Bronze Statue
in the Soldiers' National Cemetery to the
memoryof Major General Joint F, RZYNOLDS,
under the provisions of a resolution of the
Board passed April 7, 1864, in reference to
the erection of monuments in the Cemetery,
and solicited from the Board some aid in the
preparation of the foundation for the statue.
A resolution was then passed, directing
foundation to be laid and a suitable pedestal
erected, upon which to place the Bronze
Statue - of Gen. Reynolds, within the Ceme
tery, at a cost not exceeding two thousand dol
lars.
The subject of the future care of the Cent
etery after its final completion, was then taken
up and discussed, and a resolution passed ap
pointing Messrs. SeLleck, Hebert], Carr, - Mc. :
Curdy, Wills, Blake. and Ferry, a committee
to inquire t.'what steps are necessary, and
whether practicable and expedient, to transfer
the care and supervision of the Soldiers' Na
tional Cemetery at Gettysburg, to the United
States, under the provisions of the Act of
Congress, approved Feb. 22, 1866, entitled,
'An act to establish and perfect National
Cemeteries,' and to report to the Board at their
next annual meeting."
After the transaction of some other business
of minor importance, the Board adjourned.
The Monument to be erected in the Ceme
tery will be finished and dedicated on the 4th•
of July, .18G8. The Association has already
paid the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars
in instalments, on the work as it has pro
gressed, and there yet remains to be paid the
sum of twenty-four thousand dollars. The
base and shaft of the monument will be of
white granite, and is being worked out at the
quarries, at Westerley, R. L The Statuary
(five pieces of colossal statuary) is being made
in Rome (Italy), under the supervision of Mr.
Rogers, the American Sculptor, residing
there. When this monument i s erected the
work in the Cemetery will be complete.
NATIONAL CEMETERIES.—Referenc
was made in the proceedings of the Commis
sioners of the Cery to recent legislation
on this subject. \have hunted up the act,
and find that in it Congress provided for the
proper enclosure of all the cemeteries which
have been established for the burial of de
ceased eioldiert and sailors; for ma: king each
grave with a proper headstone, and for keep
ing proper lists. A porter's lodge is to be
built at the entrance of each cemetery to be
occupied by the superintendent, who is to be
detailed from the enlisted men of the army,
disabled in service, and who shall have the
pay of an ordnance sergeant. The Secretary
of War is to detail some ()nicer of the army,
not under the rank of Major, to visit annually
all the Cemeteries, and to inspect and report
to him their condition, and the amount of
money necessary to protect them, to sod the
graves, gravel and grade the walks and ave
nues, and to keep the grounds in complete
order, and Congress is to appropriate annually
what it may think ,necessary. The sum of
seven hundred and filly thousand dollars was
appropriated to carry out the provisions of
Ois act.
This act applies to al,' the National Ceme
teries in existence except those at Antietam
and Gettysburg, which were established by
the States. The question of giving control of
ours to the General Government has been
raised. As nothing will be done within a
year, there is abundant time for consideration.
On the one hand it is claimed that propriety
indicates that Pennsylvania should have the
care of , this Cemetery perpetually, and that
this was the understanding exprassed when
it was established. On the other hand, it is
held that the Superintendency would be more
complete and economical if this was one of
a chain of Cemeteries under National control
than by standing upon a separate footing ; and
that it is desirable it should be under a mili
tary superintendence, and be cared for by the
comrades of those who fell. No doubt, the
Committee will give the whole subject full in
vestigation.
BASE BALL.—A game of base ball was
played on Saturday afternoon last, as we
learn, between the "young boys' club of
New Oxford," and the "young wens' club
of Abbottstown." Both clubs has been or
ganized but a short time—the former compo
sed principally of small boys, and the latter
of grown young men, who were the chal
lenging party. The Oxford boys have great
reason to be jubilant over the defeat of their
more Herculean-like opponents. The New
Oxford boys beat their neighbors 12. The
Abbottstown club not very well satisfied
with the game, intend having it played over
on Saturday next at New Oxford. The game
on Saturday was played at Abbottstown.
MARE STOLEN.—A - valuable mare was
stolen from John Hartman, at Mummasburg,
on Thursday night last. She is described as
heavy set, 7 years old, 14 hands high, with a
scar or split on the right hind hoof ; branded
.17. S. on the left shoulder, vid C tinder the
mane. The York Insurance Company offer s
a reward of $2OO for the thief and $BO for the
mare. Mr. Hartman offers $25 additional for
the mare.
SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—We
record with much regret a fatal 'accident
which befell Charles Miller,- son of Mr. Solo
mon Miller, residing near Rock Creek, in
Cuinberland townapip, on Thursday Wt.—,
Whilst returning from Conowago, young Mil
ler, with several others, all on horseback,
started off at a brisk pace. The colt he was
riding became unmanageable, and running
agsinst 'a wagon : threw him violently to the
ground-Abe animal falling on him. He was
taken up in an insensible condition, and con
tinned in that state until Friday morning,
when death ensued. We understand that he
was 15 or 18 years of age, and an only son.—
The parents and sisters have the sympathy of
the community in their deep affliction.

This Association, &sour readers know, was
organized to secure and preserve the grounds,
breast-works, ac., occupied by the Union
lines during the battle of July, 1863, and
erect such monuments, from time to time, as
may be thought desirable to mark -places of
special interest. It has secured and paid for
140 acres, including the ground on which
RR - MOLDS fell and must of the lines occupied
by MEADE on the 2d and 3d of July. It is a
commendable euterprlse, and appeals strong
ly to the patriol#c sentiment of the country
for encouragement and support.
A - DESIRABLE PICTURE.—An interest
ing scene transpired on Friday morning, at
the Orphans' Homestead. General Grant,
and His Excellency, Governor Geary, on set
ting out, with their escort, to make the tour
of the battle-field, halted at the door of the
Institution, to be photographed in company
wish the fatherless tittle ones there sheltered.
The Generals dismounted, and Gen. Geary,
leaving the grouping, kindly assisted in ar
ranging the children. Gen. Grant, and the
Governor, with Generals Horace Porter and
S. W. Crawford t , formed the centre of the
grouping, and on either side stood the boys
and girls. All remained standing until two
negatives were taken.
The picture will be a very interesting one.
Among the Orphans included in it 'are child
ren from Illinois, Michigan, Maryiand, New
York, and our own State. The photograph
is to be copy-righted and sold exclusively for
the benefit of the Soldiers' Orphans at , the

OrThe Lecture by Rev. B. Vu.t.tor.R, in the

the testimony of conscience. The music by

very fine.

A NEW WOR.E.—Zutaxatn,Omar
it Co., 510 Ctestnut street, Philadelphia,
have placed. on our table a copy of a new
and interesting work, entitled "Woatstri
WORK IN THE CITA. WAR," edited by DY„
L. P. BROOK/37r, with an introduction by
Rev. Dr. BELLows. Not thaleastnoticeable
of the remarkable developments of the late
War for the Union, was the active agency of
Woman. In camp and field, in the crowded
hospital, in the social circle, and even•on the
field of battle, the agency of loyal ladies was
felt, encouraging our soldiery, ministering
to the sick, the wounded and the dying—thus
alleviating the horrors of war, andiltpresent
ing a glorious record of what woman CAN
do when inspired by lofty patriotism and
worthy ambition. Almost every commu
nity can boast of these "ministering angels,"
and there are thousands throughout the land
whose labors were as self-sacrificing .and
devoted as any recorded in these pages. The
work before us does not of course profess to
present a full record of woman's mission in
this great struggle. Volumes would not do
that. It is designed simply to present in
permanent form some of the more marked
features of this record. We regret, however,
to notice in a work prepared with so much
care, such serious blemishes as those found
in the otherwise readable sketches of what
tran-tpired at Gettysburg. The characteriz
ing of an entire community by the misdeeds
of one or two individuals, savors either of
malignant purpose or wanton recklessness,
sadly out of place in a work pretending to
historical fairness, and the editor •is in no
wise excusable in transferring them to its
pages. The volume is handsomely gotten
up and will doubtless command a large sale.
Mrs. T. S. WATKINS is now canvattsing
Gettysburg for subscriptions to the above
work.
