CONGAZIML.
Congress reassembled on Thursday
last, pursuant to the adjournment resolu
tion passed at the July session. There was
a quorum in each branch, and both ad
journed over till Monday of this week,
on which day the Speaker of the HousE
intended to announce the Standing.Corn
mittees, and the Judiciary Committee
were to report on the proposed impeach
ment of President JoHNSoN. It is un
derstiood the majority of the Committee
(Messrs. BOUTWELL, WILLIAMS, THOM
AS, LAWRENCE and CHURCHILL, Repub
licans), will report in favor of the im
peachment of President JOHNSON; and
submit such facts as they believe make it
the duty of tife House to present articles
+ of impeachment to the Senate. The mi
nority of the Committee (WlLsox'-and
WOODBRIDGE, Republicans, ELRIDGE
and itian.snaLL, Copperheads), will re
port adverse to impeachment. It is un
derstood that both reports will be very
lengthy, inasmuch as a very large amount
of testimony has been taken by the Com
mittee. We hope to give, an abstract of
these repo to in our next issue.
In the House new members were
sworn: WASHBURN' of Illinois, who
was in Europe when.the Congress ad-
journed ; WOODWARD of Pennsyivania,
in pWe Of DEN/SON, deceaSed ; and CA-
Rof Ohio, in place of HAYES, Governor.
All of the Tennessee members were
sworn, except R: R. BUTLER, who was
chained with having voted for the Seces
sion Ordinance in the Senate bf Tennes
see in 1881, and with having favored the
Rebellion in its earlier stages. Upon'
these facts, his credentials were referred
•to the Committee on Elections, with iri
structions to inquire into these charges.
All the Copperheods voted against this.
inquiry, except AXTELL Of California,
who was a War Democrat throughout the
War. In Copperhead eyes it is nothing
against a man's fitness for office, that he
was 41 the Rebellion from first to last ;
and they are consistent in , so voting, for
that bas been their position throughout
the war. In its darkest hears, they re
slated the enactment of the "Test Oath" ;
~and, since that, they have constantly
agitated for its repeal. From this post
-U(O,, it is but a short step to the other
which they have publicy taken where
they area secure majority (as in Maryland
and }Kentucky), viz : That men who
were voluntarily in the Rebel army ought
to be , preferrec4 'for public office, over
those who servedin the Union army.
The President's Annual Message will
not come in till4he Second Tuesday in
December next, the second day of the
second Session of the Congtess ; nor will
any of the Department Reports be pre
sented sooner. -
Out repreientative, General KOONTZ,
is not in Washington, and will not be
till after the Somerset Court which be
gan en Monday last. •
Mr r &IVENS was able to be in his seat
on Thursday, and remained during most
of the sitting. He is probably somewhat
feebler than in July, butts much stronger
than newspaper accounts led the public
to believe. He was warmly welcomed
by men of all parties. Previous to the
assembling of the House he had been
quietly reposing on a sofa in his commit
tee-room, and replied to offers to assist
him do his seat by saying, "I can go a
' lone; lam not as dead as some of my
newspaper friends have reported me." -
Hiß interest in public afrairs is unabated;
and his views are as clear and strong as
ever. He will not be able to participate
• actively in debate but, in all other re
specta, will be as influestial as before.—
He will occupy his old place, the Chair
man 'ler Appropriations. Some of the
more inalignant Copperheads, North and
South, have not concealed their disap
pointtnent that he has been able to re
sume his place. Their wishes for his
death have been, not covertly insinuated,
but openly expressed, for they realize
how great a power he has been in al
controversy, not yet entirely settled, be
tween the true and &lee friends of the
Union. But Providence has spared him
to enter upon a most important session
during which, we hope, he may be able
to add to the distinguished public services
which mark him as the leading spirit in
the era of Reconstruction.
Congress re -assembled onMonday, the
House being the centre of attraction, by
reason of the impeachment proceedings.
The galleries were crowded. After the
disposition of some routine business, Mr.
BouvvvELL presented the evidence taken
by the committee, together with the ma
jority! report„ signed by himself, and
Messra. CRURCRILL, LawitaxcE WIL
LIAMS and THOMAS, in favor of impeash
went.' Two minority reports, against
impeaOhment, one on the part, of Messrs.
WIISN and WOODBRIDGE, republicans,
and the othex from Messrs. ELDRIDGE
and 14A sawAT.L, Democratic members of
thecolmmiltee, were also presented. Af
ter th reading of a portion of the major
ity report, the several reports were order
ed to he printed, and the subject made
the order of the day for Wednesday next.
A bill providing for the suspension from
office of the President during trial was
referred to the Judiciary Committee, a
motion to have it acted on at once being
voted down. The Speaker announced
the regular Standing Committees. Mr.,
SolErnak, of Ohio, is appointed Chairman
of the Committee of Ways and Means.—
Mr. SrEvrars is continued as Chairman
of the Committee on Appropriations.—
Mr. WILSON, Of lowa, remains at the
head of the Judiciary Committee, to
which is also re-appointed the same mem
bers as constitute the committee at
(resent. Mr. GABEIELD succeeds Mr.
SCHWEICH as Chairman of the Militaty
Committee.

Sixty-seien years ago, the 13nfrinffs,,

ther of the senior member,of the present
firm, who had previously had control of
the FRANKLIN REPOSITORY, and hi the
fall of 1800 came to Gettysburg and start
ed the new paper. He Conducted the
EanTiski, until his death, in.the fall of
1816, vihen his son then a lad of 17 years
of age, took charge' of it, and continued
as its sole editor and proprietor until its
Consolidation with the STAB, last . May.
During these sixty-seven years the Re
public has marched steadily on with gi
ant strides in the development of
Material and political greatness, unpar
alleled in the histories of nationalities,
and, to-day challenges precedence in the
world by reason of its greatness and pow
er. During these sixty-seven years, the
Sets-mix', has witnessed the rise and fall
of various political organizations, devel
oped by the changing character of the is
sues which from time to time claimed
the attention Of the country, and has re
corded the definite settlement of many
questions which for a time divided great
political parties. During all these chan
ges in parties and issues, the SENTI
NEL has stood firmly and unchangeably
in its advocacy of the great principles of
constitutional freedom, and to-day advo
cates 'essentially the same principles
which it espoused in the year of its estab
lishment.
Altho w ugh the STAR was established
subsequent to the SFarrniEL, it also lays
claim to age and experitnce, hiving been
established forty years
,ago during the
memorable conflict between the adhe
rents of Adams and Jackson. From
that day to this, it has taken an active
part in the political arena, and has been
an acknowledged power in State and lo
cal politics. The consolidation of the
two papers has in no wise changed the
political character of either. It will be
the aim of the editorial management to
make the STAB ez SENTINEL every way
worthy of 'the liberal support extended
to it. With enlarged facilities to which
we are daily making addirions,iwe hope
to present a Printing Office, in all its de
tails, equal to the best in the State, and
$ weekly newspaper that May be read
with profit in every family.
COPPERHEAD papers are growing very
uneasy lest the Southern States may be
re-constructed and restored in time to
take part in the next Presidential elec
tion ; and i they cry aloud against 004-
ing "negroes to elect the next President."
The New York Tribuise thus disposes of
this Copperhead rant:
"We have but oile consolation for The
World under this afflicting dispensation of
Divine Providence and Thaddeus Stevens;
that is, that the negroes of the South al
ways have elected the President since
Jackson's Administration. In the capaci
ty of chattels, their importance controlled the
- wiiite vote which elected Van Buren, Harri
son, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce,
and Buchanan. If as slaves they were of
efficient importance to elect eight Presidents,
through ballots cast by their masters, will the
country perish if as freemen they assist in elec
ting one by casting the ballot themselves?
The sooner equal rights are given to any class
of oppressed human beings the sooner they
.wlll cease to be the disturbing and controll
ing element in politics. The disfranchised
masses of England gave rise to the .Reform
policy, and so control th&Govemment. The
enslaved negroes elected. Lincoln. The di*.
franchised freedmen reconstruct the South;
and the disfranchised Rebels carried the re
cent Northern elections. The quickest way
to take away the political consequence of the
weak and feeble is to give them their rights."
The Copperhead leaders would rather
see the Southern States reduced to an
archy and devastated by another war,
than have the Rebel party overthrown
in them. But they are not likely to be
gratified in either wish. -
THE trial of JEFF. DAVIS was to have
commenced at Richmond -.on Monday,
but Chief Justice CHASE not having
reached the city, nothing was done.
Both sides, it is understood, desire his
presence on the bench?vith Judge 'UN
DERWOOD. District Attorney CHAN
DLER will be assisted by Wm. M. Ev-
Alas, of New York, R. H. DANA, of
Boston, and other able counsel, ° for the
Government, while a formidable - array of
legal talent appear for the defence, in
cluding CHARLES O'CONNOR, off - New
York, and WM. B. REED, of Philadel
phia. Among the witnesses summoned
for the Government are the Rebel ex-
Generals Lee, Magruder, Mahone, Wick
ham and pthers.
THE Southern telegrams to the Associ
,ated Press are in the rebel interest, are
grossly unfair, and often positively false.
We put our readers on their guard
against them. ,
A recent telegram, for instance, stated
the expense of reconstruction in Virgin
ia, at five millions of dollars ! The truth
is, the whole expense up to October Ist
last, was but 1145,000.. The telegram
was one-fortieth part true! The balance
was a clear lie.
This is about the proportion of truth to
be found in Copperhead statements about
Reconstruction and the condition of the
South.

LAW FIRM.—By card in to-day's paper
it will be seen that D. MCCONALUGHY, Esq.
has associated with him in the practice of
law, JOHN M. KRAIITH, Esq. The latter
was admitted to the bar last week, after a
very creditable examination.
A USEFUL ARTICLE.—We direct the
attention of Housekeepers to the Metallic
Wire Clothes Line in to-day's paper. It is
highly endorsed by those who have used it.
Lurnsat McDArrrinta., of this place, is Agent
for the sale of it.
BEQUEST.—Mrs. SUSAN H. THORN, of
Carlisle, who died a few days ago, lett a will
in which she makes specific bequests to va
rious religious and benevolent objects, in the
aggregate amotinting to $21,500. Princeton
Theological Seminary and the Theological
Seminary at Gettysburg each receive $2,500.
' INSTALLATI6N.—Ws observe that Rev.
JOHN R. WARIQICR, lately of this place,, has
been recently installed as Pastqr of the 'fires
byterian 'Church at Kirkwood, Missouri.—
Rev. S. J. NtOcotars, formerly of Chambers
burg, Vicar of St. Louis; assisted in the cere
mony.
AZP-REv. Ms. Bwris, one of the oldest
Lutheran ministers in the country, recently
died in Lancaster, Pa. ln hiS Will he directs
his Library to be divided between the Luth
eran Theological Seminaries at Gettysburg
and Philadelphia.
THANKSGIVING.—Thursday, the 28th,
has been designated by Gov. GEARY to
be observed by the people of Pennsylvania
u a day of Thanksgiving. It will be gener
ally recognized throughout the country, the
President and a number of Governors having
designatt the same day.
NEW COITNTERFEIT.—Spurious twen
ty-five cent notes have just made their ap
pearance. They may be known by the pa
per being a trifle thicker than the genuine,
and the green on the back a trifle lighter.—
The vignette of Fessenden is, at first glance,
frilly as correct as that of the genuine; but
a close scrutiny shows that it is a good wood
cut, and not a steel engraving.
SUDDEN DEATH.—On the 14th inst. Mr.
JACOB DIBBLER, of Union township, died
very suddenly while on his way to work,
some distance from his'residence. In com
pany with a neighbor he left his home, and
on the way sat down to rest, and while there
but a few moments he was observed to fall
over, and instantly expired. His age was
about 48 years.
.IMPROVEMENTS.—Moses Raffensper
ger has nearly finished a fine two-story
'brick house, and George Plank a hands , •me
two-story brick house and barn in Arendts
ville. Other improvements are talked of to
be made in the spring.
Anthony K. Myers has recently much im
proved his dwelling in Latimore township,
including the addition of a large back build
.2i stories, brick.
SENSIBLE.—HonAck GREELEY gets off
a good thing now and then. In a lecture re
cently delivered on "Advertising," he said:
"Some men who know enough to advertise
are yet so narrow-minded as to confine their
advertisements to journals of their own
creed and party. If they do not choose to
trade with any but men of like faith, this is
wise; but if they desire the whole, public for
dustomers, it is otherwise." •
BUILDING ASSOClATlON.—Applica
tion was made at the Court last, week for the
charter of a Building Association at Peters
burg, (Y. S.) The Association founded in
this place last spring, has proved a success.
The stock is commanding a high premium,
while the town is reaping the benefits of the
association in a number of new buildings
started since the Association was formed.
ALMOST A FIRE.—We are informed
that DANIEL BAKER'S hotel, in East Berlin,
made a narrow escape from being consumed
by fire, one day week before last. The cir
cumstances which led colt, are as follows :
One of the family sent a child for a box of
matches in the second story of the building.
Soon after theohild returned with the match
es, and a few moments later some of the
neighbors discovered smoke in a room in the
seoond story. On arriving at the room, it
was discovered that a bed in it was all in a
blaze and partially burned' up. Some o' the
wood work of the building that came in don
tact with the names, had already been
scorched by the heat. The fire was soon ex
tinguished. The child, it is supposed, played .
with the matoha4, and thus set fire to the
building. —Hanover Citizen.
MELANCHOLY DEATH.—Mr. HENRY
Lows*t, a respectable and substantial far
mer, and owner of what was long known as
Bell's Mill, in Butler township, this county,
met a sad and somewhat mysterious death
on Wednesday last. Aftes breakfasthe went
'to a quarry on, hie farm adjoining that on
which he:resided, and occupied by his son
TORN Lows, for the purpose of getting out
some stone for a dwelling and barn he was
prepared to build. Not coming to dinner 'at
the usual time, his son went for him, and
found him lying in the quarry, lifeless, one
arm and both legs broken and his body
bruised and crushed—resulting, it is suppo
sed, from the falling of earth and stone from
the top of the bank upon him—a large rock
1:441$ found near him, which is supposed to
have , rolled over him. His death is lament
ed by iiiarge relationship, and the comma

It is to be regretted that this County Insti
tute and the Sabbath School Convention
were fixed for the same week, as there , are
many person" who wonld have been glad to
attend' both. It is_ but proper to say, how
ever, that the Sabbath School Convention.
was fixed for this week, to suit the conveni
enoe of Rev. Thyr.ox and others, of Phila
delphia, and in ignorance of the fact that the
Teachers' Institute had adjourned to meet,
as above. The conflict in time was ascer
tained only after engagements had been
made, wide& could not be changed.
S. S. CONVENTION.—The Sunday School
Convention now being held in this place, has
been a perfect success, the attendance being

are indebted to Twasott & FIELDS,
Boston, for a neat copy of "American Notes
for General Circulation, by CHARLES DICKENS."
This is the work, which, after Mr. DICKENS'
return to Europa from his American trip, ex
cited so much bitter remark. The plainness
with which he portrayed the defects in Amer
ican social life, was thought to be an unkind
return for the marked courtesies extended to
him. After all, the' candid, thoughtful Amer
ican reader may have more cause to quarrel
with the defects themselves than with Mr.
Dicsass for exposing them. As Mr. DICK
ENS is about delivering a series of lectures in
this country, TICKNOR & FIELDS—his only
authorized American publishers—have done a
wise thing in putting on the market a new
edition of the American Notes, assured that
the sober, second thought of our people will
furnish ample vindication against the harsh
criticisms which their first appearance called
forth.
"COMETH I.IP AS A FLOWER," is the
title of an autobiographical story of the richest
kind just issued by D. Appleton Co., New
York. The London Times speaks of it with
great praise. Its chief merits consist in the
powerful and vigorous manner in which it is
told, in the exceeding beauty . and poetry of
its sketches of scenery, and in the soliloquies,
sometimes quaintly humorous, sometimes
cynically bitter, sometimes plaintive and me
lancholy, which are uttered by the heroine.
It is written by, a lady—a new hand, and is
said to be so extraordinarily good; that when
ever you begin it you cannot lay it down
again, hardly even when it is finished. New

THE OHIO RAILROAD DISASTER
On Thursday last, a terrible accident occur
ed on the Cincinnati and Dayton Railroad,
during a heavy fog, by two trains coming in
collision, resulting in the death of five passen
gers and the wounding of some twenty others.
Three cars were crushed. In two of the cars
people were writhing under the tortures of
torn limbs and bodies; but in the rear car
death was revelling. Six persons were in it.
One escaped but four women and a man im
prisoned between timbers and panels, bleed
ing. gasping and dying, one with her entrails
torn out, and another with her head cut off.
If this was terrible, that which ensued was
horrible. While the bewildCred and fright
ened passengers in the other cars were being
released, the steam was parboiling these
mangled victims, the smoke was choking
them, and soon there was a whirl of fire
through their car from the engine's head
light or the car stove. The flames crept all
over this lait fatal wreck, wreathed themselves
around five human beings, ate up clothing,
skin, flesh and bones, while the victims
shrieked and screamed for mercy, for pity,
for aid, and one for water. One of the ladies
got her head out of a window, and an effort
was made to rescue her, but it was made in
vain. Only her head and neck could have
been saved from fire, for her body was lock
ed between timbers, and could not be drawn
out.
The conductor and engineer procured axes
and attempted to cut into the car, but failed in
this. Rapidly there swallowed this car and
strode through and over every passenger coach
of the train.
When the fire had exhausted itself the wreck
was cleared away from the track and search
for the dead was made. A headless trunk and
a.trunk that lacked limbs were found, and
three others were found, less mutilated.—
While the dressing of the wounded was in
progress, these ghastly remnants of humanity
were picked out, all charred and blackened,
and still smoking with heat, and carefully
laid aside. So far as was possible, the parts
were placed together. There were remnants
of two bodies, however, that amounted to
nothing more than several unrecognizable
masses of broiled flesh - and broken bones.
The wounded, twenty in number, were
brought into the city at half-past ten, every
possible attention being Shown them. The
majority of them are ve ry i slightly injured.
Ten plpces of baggage, mostly trunks, were
fotad, belonging to the fonr ladle& Eight of
these were found to contain the wardrobes of
iout ladle& Among the letters they contained
were some that fully established the identhy
of the owners, proving them to be four sisters
6fa wealthy family of New Orleans, of the
name of Horgan, their given names being
Harriet, Rebecca, Sarah and Elizabeth. It
appears that they left their home in New Or
leans in June last, and spent the summer and
fall hz Canada West. When killed, they were
on their , way home,. intending to• stop at
Louisville and spend a couple of days.
It has been ascertained that the gentleman
killed was Mr. Charles Jackson, of Boston,
who had acquaintaces on the trait* and in
this city. This than was not scratched. He
was roasted alive; and he met death In the
heroism of a vain attempt to save one or
more of the ladies. After the crash' he was
seen outside the train; on the ground, entirely
unharmed. It was supposed that he was
standing on the platform and jumped; but
when he saw the head of one and a hand of
anotherof the ladies who were imprisoned in
the car and appealing for help, projecting ,
from the window, while the steam was scald
ing them,, but before the roasting alive had
commenced—he worked his , way bank into

A I'ROFOUND excitement exists in England
caused by the .approaching execution of the
Fenian rioters' condemned at Manchester.
In effort was made in the House of Commons
to obtain a stay of proceedings, but the ad
verse temper of the House was so clearly
manifested that. the proposition As dropped.
Public meetings had been held in London,
Manchester and Birmingham, protesting
against the execution, but the Government
gave no signs of yielding. Only one of the
condemned had been reprieved. At Man
chester the most extraordinary precautions
had been taken in preparation for the execu-
tions. A large military force had been as
sembled and barrimules erected in the streets
for the protection of the troops. A pCtition
for the postponement of the execution had
been presented to the Queen, who in the most
direct manner declined to interfere.
A FLORENCE desPatch gives the rumor that
Menabrea, the Italian Minister, has issued a
second note denouncing the action of France.
The Italian Parliament will meet on the :ith

doubt be re-opened by an excited discussion
of the Homan question. A new element of
interest in relation to the fate of Dr. Living

nouncement that he is now known to have
been living and safe in the interior ofAfrica, in
April last, a period later than that at which
his supposed death was reported.

European despatches indicate that Napo

the Great Powers on the Roman question will
probably be accomplished. The Pope has
withdrawn his objections. The Govern

announced their acceptance of Napoleon's

be merely formal. The reunions of the Con
