NOTICE.
Wo have not the time nor the incli
nation, to dun personally, a large num
ber of persons who have unsettled ac
counts upon our books of several years
standing. We shall, therefore, from
day to day, without respect to persons,
place into the hands of a justice for
collection, all accounts of over two
years standing. All those who wish
to save expense, will do well to give
us a call immediately.
" Forward to the Charge!"
Who could wish to die in battle with
more glorious words on his lips?—
They were the last uttered by Colonel
Wm. G. Murray. Previous to being
wounded, his horse was shot from un
der him, and it was while advancing
with the color bearer of the regiment,
stud -Aiken he was beneath the folds of
the stars and stripes, he received the
fatal shot, and fell exclaiming, " For
ward to the eltarge !" The gallant de
ceased reedimed his death wound by
being struck with a grape shot in his
forehead, which tore off and shattered
the frontal of his Skull.
Another hero has fallen 1 Brave
man that he was. In his, first battle
he was slain. Having 'forsaken busi
ness, the pleasures of home, all, every
thing, to offer his life as a sacrifice up
on the altar of his country, he has fla
tten a victim; has paid the tribute de
mended of him, and now lies cold and
stillqn death, a wreath of glory encir
.clirebis brow, and syren winds play
nng over his dead body.—
“L'ilest in peace with thy companions
in-arms, brave warrior, until the last
trumpet call bids you arise
The body of the deceased arrived at
Harrisburg yesterday, at 11 o'clock,
-accompanied by a lieutenant, a ser
geant and two privates, all of the 84th,
detailed as an escort. The ceremonies
at Harrisburg were of a solemn and
interesting character. The deceased
was taken to the residence of his
mother, where he will remain until
Friday morning, when he will be ta
ken to Hollidaysburg in the train that
leaves Harrisburg at nine o'clock to
morrow morning, and arrives here at
1.34, accompanied by his relatives, the
- escort from the 84th regiment, and the
Legislative Committee appointed for
that purpose.

KILLED.—We learn that a woman
was killed on the railroad bridge just
above Spruce Creek, on Tuesday. A
double track crosses the bridge and
she was walking between them, when
she saw the cars coming towards: her.
It is supposed that she became con
fused and frightened, and instead of
stepping on to the opposite track from
which the train was coming, as she
intended, she got on the track right in
front of the locomotive, which struck
her, killing her instantly. The train
was stopped and her body taken to
Spruce Creek, but she could not be
recognized, as her head was so horri
bly crushed that her features were not
distinguishable.

Our Army Correspondence.
CAMP SIIIELDS, March 21, 1862
FRIEND LEWIS :—Not many days
since I addressed you from this place;
and, as we have been maiming the reb
els pretty hard, we deem the present
a good time to tell our friends, through
the columns of your paper, our pros
pect of a fight. •
On the morning of the 18th inst.,
our haversacks were filled with three
days rations, and Gen. Shields' Divi
sion, consisting of three brigades, start
ed in the direction of Strasburg, Va.,
a distance of about 22 miles We
passed through Winohestfa•, Milltown,
Newtown and Middletown, traveling
through a bealtiful country. We
passed several places where the rebels
had been encamped. When we were
passing through Middletown, learn
ing that we were in close pursuit of
the rebels, we were put on double
quick for a distance of some four or
five miles, but, to our surprise, when
we came close to Cedai• Creek, we
found that the rebels had crossed and
set fire to the bridge, and when our
forces entered, the bridge was in full
flames, and as the creek was pretty
full, the water was rather deep to
wade, we were compelled to stop.—
The bridge was about ono hundred
and fifty feet in length, which was
burnt. Being pretty tired, we laid
down upon the ground to sleep, and
awaited for the dawn of morning to
take a fresh start.
Wednesday morning boards were
thrown upon the burnt logs which had
fallen in the water from the bridge,
which made a pass across, and we
were soon on a march again in pursuit
of the enemy. On nearing Strasburg,
the rebels could be seen on the other
side of the town. We were then placed
above the town and soon stripped of
blankets, haversacks, overcoats, &c.,
and were ordered to load our guns,
and placed in battle form. The first
brigade, to which the 110th is attached,
was placed on the right wing. The
boys were quite cool, all in great hopes
of getting a chance at the rebels.—
We had no other expectation than go
ing into a fight, and be assured that
the Juniata boys would have done their
part. Our artillery opened fire on
them, but no reply—opened some four
or five times, but still no reply. We
then advanced forward, but as the rcb
ls had always run before, they set fire
to their straw and hay and burnt the
bridge across Stone Creek, where the
pike crossed, and also Ike railroad
bridge, and then left for parts unknown.
As we could not cross, we•were com
pelled to stop. Our men took some
24 Secesh prisoners. This number
was counted by your writer; I cannot
say how many more were taken, It
is reported that some were killed; I
cannot say for certain. We came back
and got our haversacks, overcoats,
blankets; it was then getting dark.-
Our Regiment was marched below
town, and company A was put out on
picket. It was then raining and we
had no place to Stay but in the open
field, the ground being wet and it still
raining We made fires of fence rails;
some laid down on rails and others sat
by the fire all night, with their blan
kets around thorn.
Thursday morning.—Still raining.
We were marched opposite the town,
at which time General Tyler made a
speech to the boys. Wo then started
back for our old camp—it being a dis-
Once of 22 miles. We must either
reach our tents that night—as they
were still standing—or else we would
have to lay on the ground
,another
night; so we left Strasburg at half
past eleven, and landed in our tents a
few minutes before seven that night.—
It was a big march through rain and
mud. To-day (Friday) we are doing
no duty, but laying in our tents and
thinking over our trip and being dis
appointed of a chance at the Secesh.
I cannot say when we will leave here
now, nor have I any idea which way
we will go when we do leave, as wo
believe " secesh " is almost played out
in
The 110th Regiment was led by
Lieut. Colonel Crowther, as Col. hew
is was on the sick list. As we place
all confidence in Colonel Crowther, we
are willing to follow him into battle.
We can say—not boastingly—but tru
ly, that he has proven himself to be
true, and we, the 110th, will follow
him at any call, into battle, knowing
that he will discharge his duty with
bravery as a commander. Colonel
Crowther is not only a :.:iend of the
officers but also of the privates.
Yours still,
D. Ros's MILLER.

Frogress.of General Banks
WASHINGTON, March ?.s.—General
Shields has received despatches from
Major General Banks, datod five miles
beyond Strasburg, stating that the on
etny are still in retreat, and our forces
in hot pursuit.
The lose of the rebels must have
been enormous. They have abandoned
their wagons along the road, filled
with dead and wounded, and the hou
ses on the route are found crowded
with their wounded and dying.
The dwellings in the towns adjacent
to the battle-field of Sunday are also
found filled with the wounded.
The inhabitants aided the rebel sol
diers in carrying off their wounded
during the day, and burying them
quickly as soon as load.
Our artillery makes terrible havoc
among the enemy in their flight, and
the rout bids fair to be one of the most
dreadful of the war.
WINCUESTER, March 25----Evening
It is currently reported to-night that
General Banks overtook and destroyed
two hundred of Jackson's wagons.
WINCHESTER, March 25.—Dispatches
to the Associated Press were sent by a
special mesoenger from one of the out
posts yesterday, but he has failed to
deliver them.
The latest advices from Strasburg
are to the effect that General Banks,
with General Shields' command and
one of his own brigades, was there,
with Gen. Jackson's troops in sight.
A battle was expected to-day.
The Skirmish on Saturday.
On Saturday, at 2 o'clock in the af
ternoon, the enemy showed themselves
a mile and a half :from Winchester.—
The enemy consisted of 500 of Ashby's
Cavalry, with two guns. They drove
in our pickets, when they had a skir
mish with the Michigan Cavalry and
a portion of the Maryland First Infan
try. Gen. Shields then brought up
his forces, and, with several rounds of
shell, drove the enemy back, and took
several prisoners.
General Shields was wounded in the
left arm at the first fire of the enemy.
It appears that Jackson had been
informed by the inhabitants that the
town was deserted by the Union
troops, and he advanced to retake it.
Gen. Shields' forces slept on their
arms on Saturday night.
The Battle on Sunday
On Sunday morning, at sunrise, Gen.
Jackson being reinforced, attacked
Gen. Shields, near Kearnstown, three
miles distant. The rebels' force was
composed of five hundred of Ashby's
cavalry, five thousand infantry, and
ninc pieces of artillery, with a reserve
of eighteen pieces of artillery.
The fight was kept up till noon, when
a charge was made by the Ohiol-nfan
try, the First Michigan, and the First
Virginia Cavalry, on their right, which
drove the rebels back half a mile, when
the enemy got their guns again in po
sition, in a dense woods, flanked by
their infantry, and drove us back. A
short artillery engagement ensued,
when Gen. Shields, through Col. Kim
ball, ordered Col. Tyler to turn their
left flank, which was executed by our
troops, but with terrible loss, the ene
my being protected by a stone ledge.
The Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania and
the Thirteen Indiana charged their cen
tre, and the fight became general, with
a terrible slaughter On both sides.
Col. Murray, of the Eighty-fourth
Pennsylvania, was killed.
The enemy retired slowly, bringing
their guns to bear at every opportunity.
Our men rushed forward with yells,
when a panic of the enemy ensued.
Our troops followed and drove them
till dark, capturing 3 guns, 3 caissons,
and muskets, equipments, &e., innu
me-able. Our troops bivoucked dur
ing the night.
The dead and wounded were sent to
this place at noon yesterday.
Gen. Williams' First brigade, Col.
Donnelly, of the Twenty-eighth New
York, commanding, reinforced Gon.
Shield' forces.
Gen. Banks, who was on his way to
Washington on Sunday, returned and
assumed command.
In the meantime, General Shields'
divisions, commanded by Col. Kimball,
pursued the enemy beyond Newtown,
shelling them the whole way.
Jackson's men, who wore perfectly
demoralized and beyond control, threw
overboard their dead and wounded to
lighten the wagons in their retreat.
It is a noticeable fact that nearly all
of t'•e rebels V: unded wero shot in
the head and breast, thus showing the
superiority of our marksmen.
Those of our troops principally en
gaged were as follows:
The Eighty-fourth Pcnnslylvauia
Regiment.
The One Hundred and Tenth Penn
sylvania Regiment.
The Fourth Ohio Regiment.
The Seventh Ohio Regiment.
The Eighth Ohio Regiment.
The Seventh Indiana Regiment.
The Thirteenth Indiana Regiment.
The Fourteenth Indiana Regiment.
The First Virginia Regiment.
The Michigan Cavalry.
Daum's Battery of Parrott guns.
It was evidently known to many iu
Winchester that Jackson was approach
ing, from the holiday attire and buoy
ancy of spirits previously displayed by
numbers of Secession residents, both
men and women.
The fact of Gon'l Shields command
having been screened from observation
on the east side of the town led the
informants of Jackson to believe that
all our troops were evacuating, and
that Jackson could enter unobstructed.
This evidence is derived from tlie pris
oners.
Good judges estimate the enemy's
losses at over 200 killed, 500 wounded
ancl 300 prisoners, including an aid
de-camp of Jackson's staff.
Our lost was 65 killed and about 120
wounded.
Onr eolturm is now five wiles beyond
Strasburg, and still in pursuit of the
enemy.
All letters for officers and soldiers of
General Banks' division should be di
rected to Winchester till further notice.
LATER.
WINCITESTER, March 25.—The details
of the fight on Sunday record more
deeds of personal heroism and daring
than any battle in history.
Captain Shriber, Aid and Inspector
of General Shield's division, while ri
ding to the crest of a hill to the left of
Stone Edge, in company with two or
derlies, was captured by five rebel cav
alry, Who emptied their revolvers kill
ing the two orderlies.
Capt. Shriber charged on them, run
ning one through to the hilt of the
sword, and receiving a ball through his
cap; but he escaped unhurt.
Capt. Perkins, the Chief of General
Banks's Staff, was mainly instrumental
in planning the attack, and performing
deeds of skill and valor.
The twelve rebel regiments engaged
were all Virginians, including the _First,
Second, Fourth, Thirteenth, Twenty
third, Forty-second and Thirty-second
Virginia Regiments, and one provis
ional and ono Irish regiment. They
had the assistance of Ashby's Cavalry
and two 8 gun batteries, one 6 gun
battery, and one 4 gun battery, ma
king twenty-six guns, among which
were some of the captured Bull Run
pieces.
The four color bearers of the Fifth
Ohio, were successively killed,, when
Capt. Witcomb seized the colors, and
prepared, sword in band, to defend
them. Ile fell with a shot through
the head.
A youthful rebel fell, receiving two
wounds in the breast. When ho was
approached by one of our officers, he
enquired if the officer knew Gen. Banks.
lie received an affirmative reply.
" Tell him I want to take the oath
of allegiance," said the boy, " for I
have three brothers in the Federal ser
vice, and want them to know that I
die true to the Union."
Gen. Shields's arm was badly shat
tered, and owing to the imperfect set
ting it first received, he must undergo
the painful operation of having it re
set.
This morning many of the bodies of
both rebel and Union soldiers remained
on the field, but they have since been
interred.
Many of the wounded have died
since being brought to this city.
The ladies of this town are busy
furnishing the wounded with comforts.
The ladies connected with the Thea
tre, which is now occupied as a hospi
tal, are also assiduous in their atten
dance to the sufferers.
The latest reports to-night represent
all Viet in the neighborhood of Stras
burg.
It is reported that two sons of the
late John C. Washington were in Mon
day's fight, and both were wounded
while one was taken prisoner.

Andrew Johnson's Appeal to the Peo
ple of Tennessee.
FELLOW CITIZENS: Tennessee as
sumed the form of a body politic, as
one of the United States of America,
in the• year seventeen hundred and
ninety-six, at once entitled to all the
privileges of the Federal Constitution,
and bound by all its obligations. For
nearly sixty-five years she continued
in the enjoyment of all her rights, and
in the performance of all her duties,
one of the most loyal and devoted of
the sisterhood of States. She had been
honored by the elevation of two of her
citizens to the highest place in the gift
of the American people, and a third
had been nominated to the same high
office, who received a liberal though
ineffective support. Her population
had rapidly and largely increased, and
their moral and material interests cor
respondingly advanced. Never was a
pcoplo more prosperous, contented, and
happy than the people of Tennessee
under the Government of the United
States, and none so little burdened for
the support of the authority by which
they were protected. They felt their
Government only in the conscious en
joyment of the benefits it conferred
and the blessings it bestowed.
Such was our enviable condition un
til within the year just past, when, un
der what baneful influences it is not
my purpose now to inquire, the au
thority of the Government was set at
defiance, and the Constitution and laws
contemned, by a, rebellious, armed force.
Men who, in addition to ordinary priv
ileges and duties of the citizen, had
enjoyed largely the bounty and official
patronage of the Government, and
have, by repeated oaths, obligated
themselves to its bupport, with suden
ingratitude for the bounty and disre
gard for their solemn obligations, en
gaged, deliberately and ostentatiously,
in the accomplishment of its overthrow.
Many, accustomed to defer to their
opinions and to accept their guidance,
and others, carried away by excite
ment or overawed by seditious clamor,
arrayed themselves under their ban
ners, thus organizing a treasonable
power, which, for the time being, stifled
and suppressed the authority of the
Federal Government.
In this condition of affairs it devol
ved upon the President, bound by his
official oath to preserve, protect, and
defend the Constitution, and charged
by the law with the duty of suppressing
insurrection and domestic violence, - Co
resist and repel this rebellious force by
the military arm of the Government,
and thus to re-establish the Federal
authority. Congress, assembling at an
early day, found him engaged in the
active discharge of this momentous
and responsible trust. Tbathody came
promptly to his aid, and, while supply
ing him - with treasure and arms to an
extent that would previously have been
considered fabulous, they at the same
time, with almost absolute unanimity.
declared "that this war was not waged
on their part with any spirit of op
pression, nor for any purpose of con
quest or subjugation : nor purpose of
overthrowing or interfering with the
rights or established institutions of
these States, but to defend and main
tain the supremacy of the Constitution
and to preserve the Union with all the
dignity, equality, and rights of the
several States unimpaired; mid that as
soon as these objects are accomplished
the war ought to cease."
In this spirit, and by such co-opera
tion, has the President conducted this
mighty contest, until, as Commander
in-Chief of the army, he has caused the
national flag to' float undisputed over
the capitol of our State. Meanwhile
the State Government has disappeared.
The Executive has abdicated ; the Leg
islature has dissolved; the Judiciary
is in abeyance. The great ship of
State, freighted with its precious cargo
of human interests and human hopes,
its sails all sot, and its glorious flag un
furled, has been suddenly abandoned
by her officers and the mutinous crew,
and loft to float at the mercy of the
winds, and to be plundered by every
rover upon the deep. Indeed the work
of plunder has already commenced.
The archives have been desecrated;
the public property stolen and destroy
ed; the vaults of tho State Bank vio
lated, and its treasures robbed,
the funds carefully gathered and
consecrated for all time to the instruc
tion of our children. ,
In such a lamentable .crisis, the Gov
ernment of the United States could not
be unmindful of its high constitutional
obligation to guaranty to every State
in this Union a republican form of gov
ernment, an obligation which every
State has a direct and immediate in
terest in having observed towards
every other State, and. from which, by
no act on the part of the people in any
State, can the Federal Government
be absolved. A republican form of
government, in consonance with , the
Constitution of the United States', is
one of the fundamental conditions of
our political existence, by which every
part of the country 'is alike bound, and
from which no part can escape. This
.obligation the National Government'is
now attempting to discharge. I have
been appointed, in the 'absence of the
regular and established State authori
ties, as Military Governor for the time
being, to preserve the public property
of the State—to give the protectien of
law, actively enforced, to her citizens,
and, as speedily as may be, to restore
her Government to the same condition
as before OP existing rebellion.
In this grateful but arduous under
taking, I shall avail myself of all the
aid that may be afforded by my fel
low-citizens. And for this purpose I
respectfully, but earnestly, invite all
the people of Tennessee, desirous or
willing to see a restoration of her an
cient government, without distinction
of party affiliations, or past political
opinions or action, to unite with me,
by counsel and co-operative agency, to
accomplish this great end. I find most,
if not all, of the' offices, both Stateand
Federal, vacated, either,by actual aban
donment, or by the action of the in
cumbents in attempting to , subordinate
their functions to a power in hostility
to the fundamental hiw of the State,
and subversive of her National allegi
ance. These offices must be filled tem
porarily, until the State shall be re
stored so far to its accustomed quiet,
that the people can peaceably assemble
at the ballot-box and select agents of
their own choice. Otherwise anarchy
would prevail, and no man's life, or
property would be safe from the des
perate or unprincipled.
I shall, therefore, as early as practi
cable, designate for various positions
under the State and county Govern
ments, from among my fbllow-citizens,
persons of probity and intelligence,
and bearing true allegiance to the Con
stitution and Government of the Uni
ted States, who will execute the func
tions of their respective offices until
their places can be filled by the action
of the people. Their authority, when
their appointments shall have been
made, will be accordingly respected
and observed.
To the people themselves the protec
tion of the Government is extended.—
All their rights will be duly respected,
and their wrongs redressed when made
known. Those who throne* the dark
and weary, night of the rebellion have
maintained their allegiance to the Fed
eral Government will be honored.—
The erring and misguided will be wel
comed on their return.
And while it may become necessary,
in vindicating. the violated majesty of
the law, and in reasserting its imperial
Away, to punish intelligent and con
scious treason in high places, no mere
ly retaliatory or vindictive policy wilt
be adopted. To those, especially, who
in a private, unofficial capacity have
assumed an attitude of hostility to the
Government ; a full and complete am
nesty, for all past acts and declarations
is offered, upon the one condition of
their again yielding themselves peace
ful citizens to the just supremacy of
the laws. This I advise them to do for
their own good, and for the peace and
welfare of our beloved State, endeared
to me by the associations of long and
active years, and by the enjoyment of
her highest honors.
And appealing to my fellow -citizens
of Tennessee, I point them:to my long
public lift as a pledge for the sincerity
of my motives and an earnest for the
performance of my present and future
duties. ANDREW JOHNSON.
Parson Bromdow's Speech.
. The following speech of Parsbn
Brownlow was delivered in ft:cult of
the St. Cloud Hotel, Nashville, on the
evening of the 17th :
GENTLEMEN : I am in a sad plight to
say much of interest; too thoroughly
incapacitated to :do Justice to you or
myself. My, throat has been disorder
ed for the past three years, and I have
been compelled to almost abandon pub
lic speaking. Last December
. .I was
thrust into an uncomfortable and dis
agreeable jail—for what? Treason!
Treason to the bogus Confederacy;
and the proofs of that treason were
articles which appeared in the Knox
ville W/iig in May last, when the State
of Tennessee was a member of the
imperishable Union. At the expira
tion of four weeks I became a victim
of the typhoid fever, and was removed
to a room in a decent dwelling, and a
guard of seven men kept Me company.
subsequently became so weak that I
could not turn over in my bed, and the
guard was increased to twelve men.
for fear I should suddenly recover and
run away to Kentucky. Becoming
convalescent, in a measure, I was re
moved to my former place of confine
ment. One day I was visited by some
Confederate officers, who remarked,
"Brownlow, you should not be hero.
Take the oath of allegiance to the Con
federate Government, which will not
only entitle you to a speedy release,
but insure your protection." " Sir !"
said I, "before I would take the oath
to support such a hell-forsaken institu
tion, I would suffer myself to rot or
die of old age."
Why, my friends, these demagogues
actually boast that the Lord is upon
their side, and declare that God Al
mighty is assisting them in the fur
therance of their nefarious project--
In Knoxville and. surrounding ldeali
ties, a short time since, daily prayer
meetings were held, wherein the Al
mighty was beseeched to raise Lin
coln's blockade, and to burl destruction
against the Surnside expedition.—
Their prayers were partly answered—
the blockade at 'Roanoke Island was
most effectually raised; a reciprocal of
their sacrilege divinely tendered.
Gentlemen, I am no Abolitionist; I
applaud no sectional doctrines; I am
a Southern man, and all my relatives
and interests are thoroughly identified
with the South, and Southern institu
tions. I was born in the Old Domin
ion, my parents were born in Virginia, '
and they and their antecedents wore
all slaveholders. Let me assure you
that the South has suffered no infringe
ment, upon her institutions; the sla
very question was actually no pretext
for this unholy,' unrighteous: conflict.
Twelve Senators from the cotton States,
who bad sworn to preserve inviolate
the Constitution framed by our fore
fathers, plotted treason at night—a fit
time for such a crime—and telegraph
ed to their States despatches advising
them to pass ordinances of Secession.
Yes, 'gentlemen; twelve: Senatiirs swore
allegiance in the day time, and unswore
it at night. A, short time since, I - was
called upon by a little Tow, who, I be
lieve, is the Secretary of War of the
bogus Qonfodoraoy. He threatened to
hang me, and I expected no more
mercy from him than . was shown by
his illustrious predecessors toward Je
sus
Christ. I entered into a long cor
respondence with this specimen of ex
piring humanity, but from mercy or
forgetfulness on their part, I was per
mitted to depart with all my docu
ments in my little valise, which I hope
to publish at no distant day. Gentle
men, when I started on my perilous
journey, I was' sore distressed in mind,
and exceedingly so in body, But the
moment my eyes encountered the pick
ets of the Federal army, my depres
sion decreased and returning health
seemed sucidonly to invigorate'my phy
sical constitution.
Gentlemen, secession is plated oat;
the dog 'is dead ; the childis born, and
his name is Jeff Davis, Jr.
My throat distresses me to sach an
extent that I must deplino farther re
marlis this evening, but shall make
myself hard" upon the - nekt conveni
ent occasion, Which . will probably be.
ere the termination of the present week.
The Nashville 'papers publish this.
speech on successive days, the demand
for it being such that they could not
supply. it, in one day.- . . -
