'UNION ST • . ONVE p7TION • RES
OLTY S.
The loyal men of Pennsylvania,itin
Convention assembled, disclaiming all
partizanship,• and knowing no cause
but that of the country, declare for
themselves and their constituents:
First, Their inflexible purpose to
maintain,,by..every necessary 'effort,
scrvi ee`ati• sderi A co, the National-Un
ion, as the first, highest, most solemn
:tint:most overshadowing of all politi
etii duties.
Seehhii;‘That the rebellion which
threatens the existence of the Union
pas without cause, was conceived in
'wickedness, organized-in perjury, and
developed by reckless violence, is stain
ed with every crime, and detestable
in object, and infernal in purpose, and
must be suppressed by the people of
the United States, at the destruction of
whose liberties and the overthrow of
those free institutions it is injuriously
aimed. That in this momentous con
test there are and can be but two par
ties—one which firmly sustains the
constituted authorities of the nation in
enforcing the laws thereof, and in pro
tecting the principle upon which the
Government rests, and is therefore at
once - the party of law, of liberty, and
patriotism; the other which cripples
the constituted authorities of the na
tion in enforcing the laws, securingits
safety, and preserving its life, and is
therefore the parent of mobs, the one
my of order, and a participant in trea
son—the class whose detestable prac
tices give aid and comfort to the com
mon enemy, but as confessed at Rich
mond, light up these days of rebel
darkness and disaster, and stimulate
them to renewed and desperate efforts
to recruit their armies, and to whom
in part is this day justly chargeable
whatever Of vitality the rebellion pre
serves, and whatever calamity and
affliction the further protraction of the
contest May involve. But for North
ern sympathisers with Sduthern trea
son and the hopes which their treason
able existence inspires, the rebellion
would have sunk under the stagger
ing blows dealt it at Gettysburg,
Vicksburg, and Port Hudson.
_Resolved, That wholly without sym
pathy for the men who made this war
against a free Republican Government,
or for a system of human bondage, in
whose interest it was instigated, or
cause of despotic principles to which it
is devoted, this Convention declares all
engaged therein, while so engaged, to
be worthy' only of our patriotic hatred;
and, in like spirit, we denounce as dou
bly recreant and base those residents
of loyal States who tolerate this trea
son, and would affiliate with armed
traitors, and again surrender our Gov
ernment and liberties to their keeping.
Resolved, That Abraham Lincoln,
President of the United States, [ap
plause] by the discharge of his most
arduous duties iu the dark days of civ
il war, has won for himself the affec
tion and_
- regard of the whole Ameri
can people; and always bearing him
self clear in his high office, has main
tained-the integrity of the Union, and
kept our honor untarni'efimd through
out the world, [applause] and to him,
this Administration, its principles, and
its polio.) , we give our heartiest approv
al, and pledge our earnest and enthus
iastic support. [Loud applause.]
Resolved, That the amendments pro
posed to the Constitution in giving
.our soldiers in the field the right of
suffrage, merit our hearty approval,
and.will receive our united support;
and that we recommend conventions
of loyal men thoughout the State to
pledge all candidates for the Legisla
ture to vote for it.
Resolved, That we tender to the gal
lant sons of' Pennsylvania now in the
armies and navies of the Republic the
thanks of a. grateful people, for their
unselfish and heroic valor; that we
mourn for those who have sealed with
their blood their devotion to their coun
try, and will cherish their memories
tenderly .and fondly; while to tho glo
rionS survivors we give assurance that
the last dollar and the-last life shall be
given to reinforce them, until the old
flag floats in final victory. [Applause.]
Resolved, "That Governor Curtin, by
the,effective support he has given the
AV - brat - Government in . the prosecu
tion of the war,'and his vigilant care
for our soldiers, alike in the field, in
camp and in hospital, has gained for
Pennsylvania proud and foremost pre
eminence among the loyal States, and
entitled himself to the thanks of all
her loyal citizens, and in placing him
again in nomination the Convention
hilt gave expression to tine gpontaneon
-wishes of the people of the Common-
Wealth he has served so: well. We
present for their suffrages the patriot
Statesman, who is alike the friend of
the soldier and the favorite of the peo
ple. [APplause.]
Resolved, That in the nomination of
Judge Agnew, we present an accom
plished purist, a pure. patriot and a
loyal citizen, who will adorn the high
cst judicial tribunal of, the Common,
wealth, and give additional security,
to, the right of persons and property.
Dr. Ileighold, of- Jefferson county,
offered as an amendment tho follow-
Resolvd,:that , tho bold and deter
mined stand.talten Jly lion. E. M. Stan
ton; Secretary of War, in summarily
arresting traitors and thieves, wherev
,er, found,, merits our commendation,
and that in seizing any disloyal person,
we pledge him 'our hearty co-opera
tion:in the task which he has before
him.
Mr. APlreigh moved to insort "the
Administration" for "Secretary Stan
ton."
The amendment was accepted by
31r. B.eighlaud, and unanimously adop
ted.
-
The resolutions Were then unani

WILLIAM LEWIS, Editor and Proprietor.
VOL, XIX,
The Secession Conspiracy.
A letter dated Nashville, June 26th,
to Hon. Horace Maynard, that well
known loyalist, has just been given to
the public. Its facts arc so important,
though well known by every observ
ing man to bo trite, that wo desire to
lay them before the readers of the
Globe.
DEAR Sm :—I take peasnre in com
plying with your request to give the
substance and, as near as possible, the
language of Mr. —, of Louisiana,
in a conversation which occurred be
tween him and myself about three
weeks before the last Presidential elec
tion. I met with Mr. off the
cars, some miles beyond Jonesborough,
Tennessee, in October, 1860. He was
then returning to his home in Louis
iana, from the city of Washington.
. By accident, I took a seat immedi
ately behind the one occupied by Mr.
, when he at once turned round,
and began to make inquiries respect
ing the prospects of the different can
didates for obtaining the electoral vote
of Tennessee. He expressed great plea
sure when I assured him that Break
inridge could not possibly obtain the
electoral vote of this State; and his
reasons for it I will give you as near
as may be in his own words. ."1 am
glad," says he,""that Mr. Bell will get
the vote of Tennessee, although I can
not vote for him. I am a Douglas
Democrat. and I am hastening home
to see what can be done to prevent
my State from casting its electoral
vote for Breckinridge. I have been in
Washington since the last day of July,
and I tell you now, sir, there is at this
moment on foot at Washington the
most damnable conspiracy to break
up this Government that was ever
known in any civilized country. Ido
not speak from hearsay, sir, for I have
been in their caucuses almost nightly
for the last three months, and I know
the programme from A to Z. And
it is this : If they can by any means
(which is utterly impossible) secure
majority of the electoral votes for
Breckinridge, then the scheme is as
soon as he is inaugurated and put in
possession of all the resources of the
Government, to divide the country
along Mason "'4 Dixon's line, the Ohio
river, and 2" .:eg. north to the
Pacific Ocean:' ' In Other' . Wifia - , 'they
intend to cut loose from all the free
States, and to build up a great slave
confederacy in the 4 Fouth, and to ac
complish this purpose they will use all
the resources of the Government pro
per. But should they fail in this, (as
they assuredly will,) the plan is for
South Carolina- to secede first—the
other cotton States are to follow. (I
think he mentioned the order in which
they wore "to go out," but I am not
positive;) the border States are to be
pursuaded or forced to join them in
their unholy cause, and then we are to
have such a civil war as this world has
never witnessed." He added: "I bad
hoped, until a month or six weeks ago,
that Mr. Breckinridge was ignorant of
all this matter; but I have bud evi
dence, as clear as the noonday sun,
that he is as deeply implicated as Yan
cey himself; and more than that, Mr.
Buchanan is into their schemes up to
his eyes."
I have given the above statement in
almost the identical language used, by
Mr. . The whole affair was of
so startling a nature that it made a
deep impression upon my mind, and
none of the facts have slipped my mein
ory.
In regard to a conversation which
passed between a rebel soldier and my
self, subsequent to the battle of Stone's
river, I can only say that he was ad
vocating the propriety of raising the
black flag, and declaring that he did
not intend to take any more prisoners.
I replied to him that war was horrible
enough under any circumstances, but,
if waged on the principle he advocated,
the Southern people would be regard
ed as worse than savages. To this he
replied by quoting Bishop. Polk, as en
dorsing his views,
saying, "Gen. Polk
told . the boys, if they found any trou
ble with the prisoners, he (the gener
al) would not be angry if they did not
bring them in." Whether he profess
ed that he heard this from Gen. PM,
or heard it from others, I do not re
member.
I have written this in great haste,
but feel sure that the facts aro cor
rectly stated. I hope it will prove
satisfhetory to you. •
Your friend, truly,
ALFRED HOSS.
DRAFT RUNAWAYS IN CANADA.-
Those who contemplate fleeing into
Canada for the purpose of escaping the
draft should road the following, taken !
from the St. Catharine's Journal.
The Canadian mechanics and working
men,
who have paid taxes for. years,
and who are, and always 'have been,,
and always will, be, loyal to their Gov
ernment and country, are beginning
to feel the effects of the large influx
of these emulators of Bob Acres, for
they agree to work for small wages,
are employed of course, and throw out
of employment, for at least a portion
of their time, our own "good men and
true." A large number of our mechan
ics, sooner titan go idle, have provided
themselves with certificates thitt they
are British subjects, and have gone
over to Yankee land to supply the
places of these runaways. We . don't
think much of the trade, but suppose
it must he endured. Those who em
ploy these men will have a serious ac
count to settle with thcr consciences
"when this cruel war is over." Thoy
actually encourage cowardice, one of
the meanest and most useless elements
of human character,

Incidents of the War.
SCOUTING AMONG TILE INDIANS.—From the
Indian expedition, Sheyenne river, Dacotah,
the correspondent of the Springfield •Journal
writes, at date of July 11:
There are many, doubtless, who imagine
that the thrilling tales of the experiences
' and adventures of scouts, as related in books
of romance and in newspaper columns, have
no counterpart in actual life at the present
time. But such an idea is far from the
truth. From the narratives almost daily of
the scouts connected with this expedition, I
could weave many a story of reality that
would be quite as exciting as some of the
fictitious monstrosities that are agonized into
the weekly literary journals. Probably no
scout organization for indian warfare was
ever more complete than that now employed
in the Sioux war by General Sibley. The
force numbers seventy, one-half of whom are
whites, and the other half are Indians and
half breeds. If an eastern man wanted to
see a motly company of the oldest traders,
most experienced bunters, and most cun
ning and daring Indians in the Northwest,
he could find them nowhere so well as in this
very camp of scouts. They are men who nev
er speak of danger, and who. look upon a
horseback ride of ono hundred miles on the
prairies as a mere commonplace trip. Major
Joseph Brown, the most noted Indian trader
in all this region of country, and a well
known politician, editor and adventurer in
the Northwest, is in command of the force,
and most skilfully he conducts the opera
tions. There aro two companies of scouts,
which are on duty on alternate days and
nights. Ono of them is commanded by a
man whose entire family was massacred by
the Sioux Indians lust fall, and the man who
begged the privilege, which was granted ) of
cutting the rope at the execution of the this.
ty-eight Indians at Mankato last winter. He
told me his story with tears in hie eyes, and
concluded by pledging his life even to the
avenging of the murder of his family. The
other division is commanded by an adven
turous and shrewd frontiersman, a man who
knows every war-path or indian trail in all
the territory.
Among the Indians are some of the most
sagacious Chi . ppewas, Sioux, and half-breeds
in the indian territory. Some of them have
been captured at different times by our troops
and some of them are of the friendly or far
mer Indians. Scouting is no child's play
with them, as they are sure of a terrible death
if captureu by the hostile Sioux. Two of
them are men who helped Mr. Riggs and the
families of the mission at Yellow Medicine
to escape from the savages last fall. Other
day, who was formerly a leading chief of the
Sioux, and who is a fernier near St. Paul,
was expected to join the force, but failed for
some reason. Thu scouts camp in low tents,
just high enough to creep into, and are con
stantly at work at their dangerous and tedi
ous tasks.
I said that they had wild experience. A
few days ago, four of them lied wandered
Over on to the Coteau ridge, twenty miles
from camp, expecting-to find Indian lodges
there by reason ofa war club which html been_
found and interpreted. After they left camp
another party of twenty left for another
entity, intending to be gone through the
night. While the smaller company was
winding through the bushes they suddenly
came upon the remains of a recent fire, and
near by were fresh mocasin tracks. They
did not doubt the presence of Indians, and
moved cautiously. At last, in the distance,
they heard the tread of horses' feet, and then
the crackling of bushes. They put spurs to
their horses and started for the heights of the
Coteau ridge. Finally they dismounted in
an open space, got their carbines in readi
ness, and awaited the approach. But instead
of one direction, their pursuers seemed to be
coming in from every side, and to be con
stantly increasing. Fearing lest they - should
•be overpowered by numbers four took to
flight again, and then there was a long and
sharp chase of miles through the darkness.
But the pursuers gained, and the four dis
mounted again and waited for the worst.
The party soon came up, and fortunately
there was a recognition before shots Were ex
changed. The men of both companies were
scouts, and had thus been manosuvering for
Indian warfare. Such meetings are not in
frequent.
The scouts have found quite a number of
bodies of persons who were massacred last
fall. A few days since they found a body
with a purse of gold upon it. They have all
sorts of experiences, dodging about in Indian
style, leaving fictitious and deceitful signs,
meeting herds of buffalo and elk, and hunt
ing for forage and water. They bring in all
sorts of trophies. One night they discover
ed an old Indian pack ox, that looks some as
I imagine the infernal bovines ought to, and
yesterday a nest of young eagles, a pemican
and wolf were brought in. Their life is a
hard one, but they enjoy it. It is a rich treat
to hear their stories of experience and ad
venture while engaged as fur traders and
hunters on the prairies. One of the Indian
scouts, Antoine by name, hasloffered to carry
the mail to and from the expedition through
out the campaign, whether it be one hundred
or three hundred miles, and however danger
ous the venture. He wants the privilege of
killing one horse to every trip, and good pay
for his labor, which he will be sure to get.
He cannot be induced to speak of any dan
ger. It is to his pluck- that I, am indebted
for this opportunity, to send a letter. He is
an old Red-river Indian, and came into camp
a few days since.
How to Catch Rats,
In answer to an inquiry in the Lon
don Fidd, several correspondents of
that paper ; give their experience as
follows:
For the benefit of your readers I
will 'give by your permission, my ex
perience on the subject. I was very
much troubled with rats, and tried ev
ery known dodge for catching them,
without success, intil I adopted the
following plan :—I set an ordinary
steel•trap in their run s and covered it
over with a clean duster or cloth, and
within a few hours I caught every rat
on my premises. A clean cloth is ne
cessary every time the trap is set. I
found a butter cloth the best decoy. I
am informed by my son, who was sta
tioned at Bermuda, that a convict was
rewarded for revealing his secret for
attracting rats, which was cantharidos
'steeped in brandy (Tr. Lytts3 ;) but I
cannot make out the number of drops
used. The best way to catch rats with
a stool trap is to put the guard up and
lay the trap down as if set; feed the
rats for a few days, always ,putting
the meat on the kettloboard ; .thoy will
eat it and get quite familiar to it; then
all at once begin and catch them ; wait
upon the trap, and if they have been
well fed, they may be taken nearly as
fast as it can be sot. , I have taken by
this means seventeen in ono hoer, and
at one time I had two—ono by the
Dose, and the other' by the forefoot—
and I had only ono trap in use.
-VERSEVERE..-
Speech of Gen. Rosseau,
On Wednesday evening last, Major
General L. It Rosseau, of the army
of the Cumberland, was tendered the
compliment of a serenade at the Con
tinental, Philadelphia. A large num
ber of persons had assembled, and af
ter the playing of various patriotic and
spirited airs by the band, Genl. Ros
scau appeared upon the balcony, and
was greeted with great applause.
After expressing his thanks for the
serenade, ho referred to the gallantry
of the army of the Cumberland with
which he was identified in this war,
and Ipith which he desires to be iden
tified till the close. Ho spoke of the
injustice done his native State, Ken
tucky, and claimed that at heart no
State was more devotedly attached to
the Union eat's°. The last election
proved this conclusively. That State
had fifty odd regiments in the field
and was as fully entitled to the merit
of patriotic effort as any of her sisters.
With respect to the war itself ) there
was but little to be said at this late
day, as to the duty of the citizens re
specting it.
There are but two parties in this
country—one opposed to the war and
one in favor of it ; one for the Govern
ment and ono against it. [Applause.]
I am oppved, he said, to every man
who is against the Government of
Washington and Jefferson. Ile who
puts himself between the Government
and rebellion is your foe. I love the
Constitution of my country in my hum
ble way, but I never thought it right
to travel all over the country advoca
ting the constitutional rights of those
who have overthrown 'the Constitu
tion. ,Who are these men that the
"Constitutional Union" men are so
anxious fort They are the men who,
scorn companionship with Yankees,
and would hold their noses . if you go
among them. I do not know what
the Northern traitors want. Their
rights, they say, are invaded, and yet
they cannot say what those rights are
which are invaded. Is treason to go
unpunished in the country ? Shall we
make a hero of a traitor? No trait
or has any constitutional rights ex
cept such as we give him. The Nor
thern friends of the Southern traitors
undertake to tell us what we of the
loyal South shall do with the negro.
They attempt to teach us In the pre
s. I _was never . a politician hut
was always a conservative Whig. ,The
conservatism of - par t;c- - attracted
me and T was never a political Aboli
tionist. But slavery was made a po
litical power, and I opposed it as such.
On the' subject of slavery, men both
North and South went into office, and
held office according to their prejudi
ces on that subject. I have deter
mined that that subject shall not
stand between me and my allegiance
to the Government. This is a Gov
ernment.of the people, and while pro
tecting it we shall lot slavery look out
for itself. This Government must be
sustained, and riots must be crushed.
He who would address rioters as his
friends must also be put down. [Great
applause.] This Union is worth pre
serving at any 'sacrifice. I have seen
too many dead lying upon the battle
field to ask for affiliation with those
men who are their enemies. This war
was commenced by Jefferson Davis
and his"party to retain the spoils of
office. Revolutions aro never justifi
ed, except by great oppression. It was
not an Oppression on the part of the
Federal Government that caused the
war. .No Secessionist or any Copper
head, whom I consider worse than the
Secessionist, will give you that as a
reason for the outbreak.
If Secessionism is to be acknowl
edged, there is an end to the Govern
ment.. If the present peace party,
prevail, the same result will follow.—
On what terms do they want peace ?
How can peace he brought about ?
Only by withdrawing our armies. Jeff
Davis can make whatever demands
then he pleases, and .when they aro
granted, the principles of the peace
party will prevail. Let us have only
a conquered peace—a peace worthy of
yourselves and yonr,ancestors. Peace
by separation is no peace at all., You .
cannot live in harmony with oar
"Southern brethren" so close to us as
a separate Power. I believe I have
as much' friendship for the South as
any man. I have no kindred born
north of Mason &, Pixon's line. This
is not a war of North against the
South, forr, if it were, I would lie with
the Staab. It is a war of the United
States against its enemies, and I am
against its enemies. The flay was
when Benedict Arnold 'was despised.
The times must be out of joint when
men like Benedict Arnold receive the
plandits„of the people. Let us now
brand treason as a crime, and its abet
tors as the enemies of the Government.
I hear 'complaints all over the country
against the authorities. We cannot
help it if the leaders do make mistakes.
They are but human, and, of course,
liable to error.' We only make the
head of the; Government weak when
we find fault "with all it does. The
weaker they are, the more reason is
there for us to strengthen them. A.
great many arrests have been made in
the loyal States. Some:of them were
undoubtedly wrong, but 'this is also
true that not ono man out of a hundred
was arrested that ought to have been.
[Applause.] On the question of slave
ry, I have a word to say. The South
have made slavery the idol, and have
called Upon us to bow down to it. The
system of slavery is upheld by the reb
els because it is an assistance to sustain
the rebel cause. Lot us strike at that
institution and we take away that
much of the rebellion's support. The
Copperheads would have no negroes
to enlist to put down the rebellion.—
I don't know that I would fight with .
them myself. But lot the negroes go
a step beyond me and fight it out
where they can be of service in whip
ping the rebels; for the negro is not
the inferior of any man who rebels
against his Government. It is for you
to sustain the Government. Do it
sincerely and you will have performed
your duty. stand - together and six
months longer will close the war. It
would have been closed before now but
for the divisions in our people.
General Rousseau finished by calling
upon his hearers to stand by the Gov
ernment and give a hearty support to
the Administration in its efforts to
crush the rebellion.
A Pennsylvania Soldier on the Draft,
The following extract from a letter
written by Col. Bowman, of the 84th
Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers,
will Serve to convey some idea of what
is thought by the army with reference
to the conscription act, and its enforce
ment:
"T congratulate the people of Phila
delphia and the State of Pennsylvania
on the handsome manner with which
they submit to the draft. The soldiers
of the army watch the progress of
events at home with great interest.—
They are anxious to know whether
they are to be left to fight out this war
without help, or whether their friends
and fellow citizens are willing to bear
them a hand. Soldiers in the field can
not appreciate the arguments of Val
landigham and others of his school.—
The rights of !fires speech!' In times
of , peace and, when we have time fin ,
nice discussions, wo can afford to talk
extensively about the Constitution,
about free speech and all that sort of
thing. But what we just now want to
know is, whether we have a country
or not. That is the question ! The
volunteer took up arms to test that
question. Ile saw his country divided,
his nativity despised, his flag trampled
upon by a cabal of aristocrats, with an
archy, the worst of all evils, coming
upon us, and he left family and friends,
home and all the endearments of life,
to fight for his country, and if need be,
to die on the battle field.
"The contest has not yet bean set
tler]; the enemy, more powerful than
estimated c has met us man against

How General Grant Cares for His
Soldiers.
General Grant, says the Cleveland
.14/v/d, has issued a special order for
bidding steamboat men to charge more
than five dollars to enlisted men, and
seven dollars to officers, as flue be
tween Vicksburg and Cairo. imme
diately after, Vicksburg had fallen a
largo. number of steamboats cleared
from Northern ports for that place,
and were in the habit of charging sol
diers going home on furlough from fif
teen to thirty dollars faro to Cairo.—
A friend relates to us that the steamer
Hope was compelled by Gen. Grant to
discharge its illgotten gains the other
day, under the following circumstan
ces: This boat had about ono thous
and enlisted soldiers, and nearly 'two
hundred and - fifty officer's aboard, en
route for home on short leave of ab
sence, 'after the fatigues of their pro
tracted but glorious campaign. The
captain of the Hope had charged these
mon and officers from ten to twenty
five dollars apiece, as fare to Cairo.—
Just as the boat was about to push off
from the wharf at Vicksburg, an order
came Worn General Grant requiring
the captain to pay back to his passen
gers.all money received by him as fare
in excess of five dollars to enlisted men,
and seven dollars to officers, or submit
to imprisonment for disobedience and
have his boat confiscated. The ardor
was an aitonisher to the captain, but
the presence of a guard rendered it
useless to refuse, and so, amid the
shouts of the, soldiers ,over General
Grant's care of they interests, he com
plied with as good grace as possible,
and paid back the Money. Our inform
ant, himself a passenger on the Hope,
was present when Gen. G. issued the
order above refbrred to. The General,
upon being informed of the impositions
being practiced upon furloughed men
and officers, by steamboat men, was
very indignant. "I will teach thorn,
if they need the lesson," said the gal
lant General, "that the men who peril
ed their lives to open the Mississippi
river for their benefit, cannot be im
posed upon with impunity." No won
der that the soldiers of the Army of
the Mississippi fairly worship their
General.

Life on the Missouri Border;
The Sufferings of Union Men
A letter from Kansas City, Missou
ri, sth inst., to the St. Louis Democrat,
gives the following in reference to life
on the border:
" Mr. Henry Tull, an influential far
mer, who formerly lived in this (Jack
son) county, near Lone Jack, where
for fifteen years, with his family, be
enjoyed the luxuries of a quiet home,
is now a refugee. Months ago he fled
Tor his life and left his family there.—
The guerillas robbed him of about 8,-
000 dollars' worth of property, and fi
nally his family bad to move up to
within a short distance of the line be
tween Missouri and aansas—fifteen
miles sou th of this place. That gen
tleman is here to-day, and says that
for a long time he has not been able to
sleep at his new home at nights; that
his house is often visited by the thiev
ing, ntirderitig - Miscreants in search of
him, They -were at his house last,
Friday night, and, not finding' him,
they robbed the house. Mr. Tull carne
round through Kansas to this city.—
He dare not come here or go home
through IM issouri.
On last Friday night a. band of
bushwhackers went over into Kansas,
near Sha,wneetown, to do some rob
bing and murdering. Near that town
they went to the house-of Mr. Kunnels
to kill him, but he thwarted their thirst
for blood by a very 'narrow escape
through the back window. On the
same night, not fitr from there, they
killed a Mr. Payne in his own house;
then went to within three miles of
Shawncetown, to the house of Mr.
Bookont, and murdered Idm. They
wounded an old man, Mr. Sayers, and
he escaped. Two women, dressed in
men's clothing, were along with these
wretches. They intended to kill five
more men that night, but they escap
ed. lam informed by an officer that
two pore men were killed last night,
and two houses burned, not far from
he're. •
"A few nights ago a party of these
prowling devils burned a valuable
house near Independence, belonging
to 'Judge Buchannon, of that town,
and two other houses near by. One
of them belonged to a Mr. Criss, a good
old. Union man. Since my last to you
some of the band set the ferry-boat oc
fire, on the Big Blue, between- bore
and Independence-- and — burned the
bridge across the Little Blue; below In,
dependence."
Vicksburg Renovated.
Vicksburg is to be thoroughly reno
vated. The town has been divided in
to eight districts, under the supervis
ion of that number of officers, - what
duty is to examine residences and
yards, and direct the removal of eve
rything of an unhealthy nature. The
sick aro to be removed at once to a
hospital, or pest house. The dead aro
to be buried within twelve hours after
denease:
Rations are still issued daily to up
wards of one thousand of the old in
habitants of Vicksburg. Many have
property, but lack the kind of money
taken by the commissary. The super
intendence of the railroad interests at
Vicksburg has been placed in charge
of Col. George 11. Cradlebaugh, of Gon.
McPherson's staff. . '
SOLDIERS' WIVES.—What an im
mense amount of heroism among this
class passes unnoticed, or is taken as a
matter of course ; not only in this
most righteous war we aro waging,
but in those of all past time. For the
soldier, he has his comrades about him
shoulder to shoulder; he has praise if
he does well; he has mention and pit
ying tears, if he fall nobly striving.—
But, alas, for the soldier's wife ! Even
an officer's wife who has sympathizing
friends, who has the comforts and ma
ny of the luxuries of life ;—whose
children's future is provided for if
their father fall; what hours of dread
ful suspense and anxiety she must
pass, even in these favorable circum
stances! Bow hard for her ! But
for the wife and the poor soldier, who
in giving her husband to the country,
has given everything; who knows not
whether the meal she and her little
ones are eating may not be the last for
many a hungry—desolate—day; who
has no friends to say, " well'done," as
the lagging
,weeks of suspense creep
on, and she stands bravely at her post,
keeping want and starvation at bay;
imagination busy among the heaps of
dead and wounded, or traversing the
wretched prison dens and shuddering
at the thought of their demoniac keep
ors ; keeping down her 150118 as her
bravo daughter trustfully offers up
her nightly prayers " for papa dear to
come home ;" or when her little son,
just old enough to read, traces slowly
with his fingers the long list of the
killed and wounded, " to see if father
is there ;" shrouding her oyes from the
possible. future of her children should
her strength give out under the pre
sure of want and anxiety; no friend to
turn to when her hand is palsied with.
labor; nor waving banners, nor mar
tial music, nor one procession to chron

and her own brave heart 'to witness
her noble unaided struggle. Whet I
think of these solitary women scatter
ed throughout the length and breadth
of the land, my heart warms toward
them; and I would fain hold them up
in their silent struggle, for all the world
to admire.

Interesting Story of his Capture
An officer gives the following particulars
of the operations of Richardson, the rebel
spy, who was captured and hung sortie tinio
.amce in Frederick city, Maryland. We give? ,
the story in the officers language :
"I knew this Richardson from the very
beginning of the war. When we were first
ordered on to Baltimore he came into setup:
just as he has done ever since, singing songs
and selling them. He was a Man of about
fifty years of age, with a long, light-colored
beard, very intellectual looking, and with a
soft, pleasant voice in speaking. -He was
well-known in every camp in the army of
the Potomac, and having an excellent voice
ID used to delight the soldiers with his songs.
" On Sunday's he distributed tracts, 'and I
recollect one day talking to him about them.
lie was an excellent draughtsman,and got
up an engraving of our fort on Feeral:Hill,
of which I have some copies. Ile was in and
out of all the camps constantly, and was ra
ther fond of asking questions. The reason
lie gave for this was that - he was getting up
a history of the war.
" Ile was arrested while we -were at Fred
erick City. llis questions appeared to be ra
ther too systematic and pointed: He was
arrested on this' account by three -different
parties, but gave each plauSible excuses to
the first two that they let him go. General
Slocum"was in command at Frederick City,
and so strong was the suspicion excited
against him, both by his questions on this
occasion and by the eircumStances reported
by many soldiers who had for some time sus
pected him and had previously called the at
tention of their officers to him, that it was
determined to try to force some confession out
of him.
"Ale wail mit on a lime with his - arms
pinioned behind him and a rope tied round
his neck. The horse was led under 'a tree,
and the end of the rope was pulled tight and
the horse was driven from uridor 'him; 'lle
was allowed to hang' thirty seconds, and
then let clown. When brought, to, ho refused
to answer any questions. Ile wee Nog up
again, and when revived a second time be an
swered some of the questions naked, The
third hanging brought a full confession : Ile
had in his breast pocket a small brandy flask.
Ile told his captors to unscrew the nietallb4
tom of this. fin doing sq, they found a con
siderable hollow and in part of the lining of
his boots they found plans of all our trill,
very carefully and beautifully, tlrerpl, ift
the evict p,ottition and numbers of each Teti
ment, and even the particular eflinPaniPo -
tailed fur picket and other service. Ten them
sand five hundred dollars in "'green-tinOke 4
were found upon him, besides a :quentity.of
Confederate money. This was all handfxl
over to the five men who arreste4 hips. '• '
" Ire also told them that they *Mild find

rope put around his neck to suggest to him
the consequences of playing false. The unk
pedition was so far once:sagai as to. ROI/0
some of Stuarts men. The negro was retain
ed by General Slocum, and considered liyybigf
a most valuable servant. We vivre told'ihat
the son would be' bung as soon, as he, wftS

body remained banging for fire days. when
it was cut down and buried.

NO SOLDIER., and no real friend,.;Of
the soldier can vote for Onorge. W.
Woodward for Governor, because 'he
joined in the approval of a decreowhich
the soldier, absent from, the-!Stato,;de
fending the honor of the natio% was
disfranchised and degraded to tIiP•IPV
eI of the slave. The man who perils
life in the defence of the Government,
is esteemed by Judge Woodward as
unworthy of participating in the con
trol of that Government. The man
who gives a home, family, fortune,
comfort, pleasure and business; in 'or
der to promote the welfare of the na
tion, is regarded by Judge Woodward
as not worthy of confidence as a free
man, as incapable of exercising ; the
franchises of a citizen, and as only a
little higher than the common slaves
of the South. is such a man fit to be
Governor of a free people? This giros
don the veterans who are at home,
with the friends of the veterans absent
fighting the battles of the Union must
answer. Every vote cast for. George
W. Woodward ford Governor, voice
in favor of the disfranchisement of the

used, when once such a man is clothed
with power, to disfranchise all who do
not acquiesce with him in faith in. the
political do,gians which now disturb the
peace and threaten the 'perpetuity of
the Government. Remember people
of Pennsylvania, yon are' called on to
