on Thursday afternoon the raising
commenced. At this moment, an en
gine and train of coal cars came down
from the mines, when, seeing the work
about to be done, the engineer, fireman,

firmly secured. The new, flag was
then brought forth and run up to, the

' FRIEND LEWIS is amid -great
excitement that I niako an attempt to
pen you a few lines. A strong union
feeling still prevails among the citizens
of this community. Party lines are
obliterated; republicans and deinocrats
aro mingling and uniting, as it were,
in ono fraternity. There can bo but
two , parties nt tbo: present day, Patri
ots, and Traitors; of the latter I am
happy to say we have, none hero,-nor
do wo wish for any.
On Saturday, 27th ult., a largo and
beautiful pile was raised at , a place
known as the' Cross-Roads about two
miles west of this. The flag was made
by the ladies of this vicinity who de
serve great credit for their patriotic
efforts. It measured 14 by 7 ft. Af
ter the pole had been raised,, able and
patriotic speeches were made by Rev.
C. Graham, Major . Cresswell and Dr.
H. 11.. Brown. After the speakers had
done speaking, Major Cresswell was
called upon to sing the "Star Spangled
Banner," which ho did in a clear and
distinct tone of voice, and which elici
ted universal applause. In conclusion,
three prolonged and deafbning cheers
were given for the Stars aneStripes.
Upon which the people assembled, dis
persed quietly and peacefully to their
homes.
There is a company in . progreis of
formation in this place, to bo called the
Union Guards, in command of A. W.
Evans, Esq. As soon as it is filled out,
their services will be offered to the
government if needed.
We have had a .young winter hero
lately. On Saturday morning last we
were considerably surprised on arising
froin' our conches of slumber, to find
the earth enrobe'd in a mantle of spot
less white. It measured 6/ inches.
It seems that in one of my late pie

Us. EDITOR: I again seat myself to
give you and our soldier friends, the
news from this township. At the
Union Meeting at the Union School
House, on Tuesday evening of last
'week, patriotic speeches were made
by Abel .Corbin, John Flenner, J. R.
McCartney, and others. The " Lick
Ridge Rangers" then proceeded to the
election of officers. John Flenner was
elected Captain • S. R. McCartney, Ist
Lieut.; H. D. Rhodes, 2d Lieut. apt.
Renner requested the Rangers to meet
on the road opposite Mr. Geo. Miller's
for drill, on Saturday, 4th inst., at 4
o'clock, P. M. The meeting then ad
journed to meet again on Tuesday
evening, the 7th.
On Saturday, at 4 o'clock, the Ran
gers met at the appointed place, for
drill, and the manner iu which Capt.
Flenner "put us through," shows con
clusively, that he is an experienced
drill officer. About thirty or, forty
ladies graced the occasion with their
presence. After drilling about two
hours, we were marched to the West
School House, to attend a Union meet
ing. We then fired a salute in honor
of the American flag, and were dis
missed. The meeting was addressed
by Esquire Hamilton, Wm. Stewart,
Captain Flenner, and Lieut. McCart
ney. By request, the ladies sung a
National hymn. About sixteen young
men have volunteered from our town
ship, and as many more would go if
they could leave their farms.

Our Country
DEAR GLOBE:-
More than eighty-four years have
elapsed since England sent her milita
ry forces to quell the spirit of indepen
dence that was rising in the hearts of
our forefathers,, who were,, at that
time, her subjects. But after great
losses and many defeats, the British
finally surrendered to our brave gen
eral and true patriot, George Wash
ington, at • Yorktown. Immediately
after this surrender, the "Declaration
of Independence" was read throughout.
all the colonies, and received with
great enthusiasm by those patriots,
who fought and bled for 111Terty. , The
colonies wore, made into States; they
all lived under one President instead
of a, King; as before, and abided by
one well-franied '•Constitation. And
ever since that memorable period, we
are proud to call ourselves .American
citizens, not only at home, but abroad,
where kings and emperors govern.
, But alas!
,there are those now among
Us, (the Southerners) who areltsbamed
to call themselves, Americans, who
,ab
hor and detest the Constitution framed
by our forefathers, and have fornied
Government "of: their own, and defy
the proverb: "'United wo stand, divided
we midi." But not only have they se
ceded from 'the Union, and made their
own . laWs, bat they have seized our
property, and. even threaten to take
the Capitol ,of these United States.—
Shall they go unpunished? Shall they
be let alone,-as their President wishes,
"and' do still more • damage ? God for
bid it ! • The twenty days have now
expired, in which Lincoln demanded
the ceding• of the forts which they
have .taken from theTederal Govern
nient: Will the':President 'of these
United States still let the troops he
has demanded, 'remain idle No I let
him retake our property,' and show
them that the Northerners are not to
be driven from every fort and every
stronghold.
' If a civil war does bomO, more bat
tles will be fought, and more blood,
spilt, than ever flowed in the civil war
between the "red and white roses" in
England, or that of the Dukes of Or-.
an ,, e or 'of Burgundy in France.

PRIEM? TYHUR:ST : After a long de
lay I come again,' in order to book
your readers up in the proceedings
here. The excitement is at a tremen
dens pitch here. The
,glorious Stars
and Stripes ilre seen floating in every
direction, and there is but one ,senti
ment among the people, and that is,
that the banner of our beloved country
and the country itself, must and *shall
bp • preserved'. Some of our young
men have already marched to the
scene of action, and others aro pre T
paring to go. , . . ,
Nolonger than yesterday ourhttle
town was all excitement,, owing to a
couple of strange gentlemen who made
their appearance, and' who also were
arrested,as spies, and after examina
tion, they were.placed in the hands of
a young gentleman from this 'place to
take them down to Huntingdon for
further examination. But owing
,to
some misunderstanding, the young man
that had charge of them lacked cour
ago and jumped off tb2 train between
this place and Marklesburg station,
and the supposed spies were left at
Marklesburg. We are sorry that the
men did not find their way to Hun
tingdon, as was intended, and we also
hope that if the 'young - gentleman is
again' entrusted with business of the
people, he will perform his duty.
Notwithstanding the great amount
of inclement 'weath, Spring has come
at last, and pleasantly the birds sing
to charm us, as we pass along the jour
ney of Jife. Since yesterday, Wm. B.
Zeigler, Esq., of Huntingdon, has ta
ken charge of the H. & B. T. Railroad
Passenger Train, as Conductor, and
we hope that the' gentleman will suc
ceed, as he is accommodating and a
jolly fellow. With a tip of my beaver

WAR! WAR l WAR !--3.14. EDITOR :
An Unexpected emergency has arisen.
Our beloved Country is plunged in the
horrors of a civil" war, and our homes,
our families, and our firesides aro ex
posed to the dese9rntion and ruin of
hostile incursions. The Constitution
framed by the wisdom of our forefath
ers; the Liberty established by their
toils and labors—and the Independence
sealed by their life-blood, are menaced;
not by the hostility of foreign enemies ;
but by the reckless ambition of domes
tic traitors and aspiring demagogues,
who have long partaken of thebles
sin,gs of our free Government.
It was under such circumstances
that a call was issued for the patriots
in the lower end of Huntingdon coun
ty to rally at Shade Gap, on Saturday
last, to form a company to be known
as the Ringgold Artillery, and to take
up arms in defence of our Country,
and protect our Liberty, our Stars and
Stripes, our homes, and our little ones,
from the ravages of a ruthless and in
furiated foe. rThe meeting was large
ly attended, from the whole surroun
ding country. The greatest enthu
siasm. prevailed. The meeting was
organized with the election of the fol
lowing officers: President, David
Teague Esq.; Vice Presidents, James
Neely, Thomas E. Orbison, Michael
Starr, David Parsons, Wm. Clayton,
Brice Blair and James Baker; Secre
tary, Rev. G. Aran Artsdalen.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by the Rev. G. Van Artsdalen.
Gen. G. W. Speer was then introduced,
who entertained the audience with a
truly patriotic speech, which elicited
much applause. His whole soul seems
to be aroused in the good cause. Ani
mating and soul stirring speeches were
alsoifelivered by Dr. J. Alfred Shade,
Professor Win. H. Woods, B. X. Blair
Esq., and the Rev. G. Van Artsdalen.
After the speaking, the enlisting
went brtwely on. Gen. Speer paraded
his company through our town for
some time, and'the men made quite a
soldiery appearance. Many ladies
were present, encouraging their hus
bands, sons and lovers to enlist in do
fence of the Stars and Stripes. We
venture the assertion that Shade Gap
has a greater display of -Flags than
any other town of its size in the State
of Pennsylvania. You - not only see
them at the Post Office and our
houses, but nine-tenths of all the
private houses have them flung to the
breeze. The large one above the Cu
pola of Millwood Academy, can be
seen for miles around.
FATAL AmnonNr.----On Tuesday eve
ning of this week, John Rouse, residing
about two miles from our village, met
with a most sad and melancholy. acci
dent, which speedily terminated in
death. He had driven .into town in
the morning with his son, whom he
placed in Milnwood Academy that he
might be present at the opening of a
new session. On his way home, his
two horses being young, full of spirit,
and chilled by standing-in the, cold be
came. unmanageable, ran away, and
going down a long and winding hill,
struck against a large pine,' which
threw Mr. Rouse with greal violence
to the ground.
,When taken up he lay
near. the hind wheel, and a large pool
of blood under his heath and on exam
ination it"was found he had received a
frightful wound on. the back of his
head, which resulted in his cleath. ; ----
He lingered in an insensible condition
for about thirty-four hours, without
recognizing or speaking to any one,
and _then breathed his' labt. The
tongue was broken in several pieces,
otherwise the wagon was not injured.
The horses both broke loose from the
wagon, and' ran home, about half a
mile. ,Mr. Rouse had two of his grand
sons, small boys, with him, who were
uninjured.
This catastrophy has spread quite a
gloom over our entire community.---.
Truly in the midst of life we are in
death. "-No man should boast of to
morrow; for we know not what a 'day
may bring . forth." Mr. 'Rouse was in
the sixty-sixth year of his age, remar
'kably hale and hearty. By economy
and diligence iu business he had ac
cumulated a handsome property.. He
look an active part in,the affairs of
Dublin township, and had repeatedly
been elected to various offices, the du-
ties of which ho discharged, in a satis,
factory manner. Ho was highly es
teemed and beloved by his neighbors,
and tho citizens generally, and was
universally esteemed as an honest, up.
right man: His funeral:services con
ducted by the Rev. G: Iran ArtSdalen,
pastor of the Presbyterian Church of
Shade Gap, of which he was a mem
ber for many YeatS,‘ on Friday after
noon the 3d inst.; were attended by a
large concourse of his fellow-citizens,
who bore testimony of his worth as a
man and a christian. He leaves a wid
ow and eight children to mourn their
sudden and irreparable loss.
ANOVIER FATM, AcernENT.—Scarce
ly bad our community recovered from
the.effects of a recital of the above on
Tuesday, when our ears were shocked
on Wednesday, by the sad tidings that
a similar accident .had happened to
William Jones of Shirloysburg, still
more heartrending in its details, and I
followed by a more speedy death, about
three miles south of our village. Mr.
Jones passed through our village on
Wednesday evening about five o'clock
in a sulky; he did not stop in town
but was seen by a number of individu
als. After riding about three miles,
he fell from his sulky,•his foot being
tightly locked in some part of the sul
ky or harness, his head and shoulders
on the ground, and in this frightful
condition he Was dragged over one mile.
When extricated, his breast heaved
but once or twice, and life was extinct.
His head was bruised almost to a jel
ly, and his whole person presented' a
frightful spectacle. His clothes were
torn almost off his body, and at differ
ent points along the road, were found
his whip, gloves, knife, purse, &e.
When first discovered by Robert
Johnson who -waS plowing in a field by
the road side,-the horse was trotting
quietly along, and the person drag
ging underneath, was not discovered,
till he had approached quite near.—
He was taken to the house of John
Jones, his brother, near by, and the
sad intelligence communicated to his
family.
- gr. Jones moved last April, from
near Carrick - Furnace, Franklin co., to
Shirleysburg, Huntingdon co., and was
at this time on his way to visit his na
tive plaCe, when he met with this sud
den and awful end. He.was taken to
Vannettsburg for burial on Thursday.
He leaves a wife and three small chil
dren to mourn his less. How myste
rious are' the ways of Providence !
Well may Job inquire " Canst thou by
searching find out God? Canst thou
find out the Almighty to perfection?
It is high as Heaven what canst thou
do 1 Deeper than Hell, what canst
thou know ! The measure thereof, is
longer than the earth, and broader
than the seas !".
Franca and the Southern Confederacy
From Paris Correspondent Now York times.]
PARIS, Thursday, AiirillB, 1861
'The American Minister at Paris, Mr.
Faulkner, has just had an official in
terview with the French Minister of
Foreign Affairs, M. Thouvenil, on the
subject of the recognition of the South
ern Confederacy. At this interview,
if' wo are correctly informed, Mr.
Faulkner went in obedience to the
State Department at Washington, to
carry a copy of the President's inau
gural address, to officially announce
the accession of the new Government
at Washington, apd to represent to M.
Thouvenil the line of policy the new
Government intended to adopt so far
as their policy was decided upon.
Mr. F. informed the minister that he
was instructed to say that the Presi
dent's policy was to be found in the
inaugural address in full; but in brief,
on the question of a recognition of the
Southern Confederacy,' the President
held that there was no faitaccompli as
yet, and that to recognize the Confed
eracy under the present state of things,
would be not only illegal, but an act
of bad faith to a friendly Power, desi
rous and anxious of settling its own
internal affairs in its own way. Mr.
Faulkner also developed 'before the
minister the able views of the question
which he has before uttered, and which
have been already published in the
Times, and finished by protesting in
the most solemn manner against any
recognition of the Southern Confedera
cy until the new minister, Mr. Dayton,
should arrive. Mr. Faulkner said, in
substance :
" This is the last time, most proba
bly, I shall have the honor of commu
nicating officially with your Excellen
cy on this or any other subject, as I
leave for my home in a short time, and
I wish now to protest most energeti
cally, in the name of my Government,
against any recognition of the new
American Confederacy, until at least
my 'successor, a gentleman of great
ability and of high personal worth,
and who will naturally come fully pre
pared to present to you the views of
the Government of Washington, shall
have arrived."
M. Thouvenil then deManded to
know if the Cabinet at Washington
were not divided in, sentiment on this
question of recogn" - ien ? To which
the American minister replied that,
under any circumstances, the members
'of the American Cabinet were only
advisory officers, and ' that with the
Presipent remained the initiative and
the responsibility of public acts such
'as these:• That these were the Presi.:
dent's views, and that these alone were
to be taken as guides in :diplomatic
transactionS.
Thouvenil then said that the Gov
ernment of the United' States need not
have any appreheision of a speedy recog
nition of the Southern Confederacy by the
Government of France. It was not the
habit of the French Government to
act hastily in queSticins of so, delicate
a nature. He pointed out the case of
Italy, where apparently there codld be
no special objection to the recognition,
and yet, from prudential motives, the
recognition - was withheld. The French
Government, added M. Thouvenil, sees
the present dissension in'Ameriea with
pain, and not only would desire to see,,
the broken elements reunited, but
would never step in by any acts what
ever to Widen the division, or,add fuel
to the flames.
At the same time, M. ThOuvenil said
that the practice of France, as indeed
of most of the - European Pow Ors; was
now clearly understood in theSe eases
of recognition of new Governments.—
A Government once clearly established,
beyond dispute, iv'as a Government de
facto, and Must be recognized; and
when the new , American Govirnment
arrived at that point, ho presumed, al
though' he had no right now'to preju
dice the future, it would bo recognized.
M. Thouvenil then: demanded infor
mation on the subject of the new tar
iff, which, be said so deeply affected
Trench commerce. = Mr. Faulkner in
formed him, that from indications from
Washington, he believed there would
be an extra session of Congress, and
that the tariff would be modified, a
-declaration which gavo the Foreign
Secretary great satisfaction, and in
duced him to say to Mr. Faulkner,
that at the next meeting of the Cabi
net he would be pleased to report this
hope to the Emperor and his colleagues
in the Government.
M. Thouvenil assured Mr. Faulkner
that up to the present' time, he had
not been spoken to by any ono on the
subject of a recognition of the South
ern Confederacy.
