:e n: 11 a: JUHiV B. BRVTTOR, Editor & Proprietor. CARLISLE, FA., JUNE 18, 1863 * The Ertyl Buid In Our Valley. The rebels arc again in possession of Chambersburg, whore they have been quiet ly encamped for the lust three days I From the best information to be had, their force at Chambersburg consists of sonic 1500 cavalry, under the command of Gen. Jenkins. On Tuesday the scouts sent nut from the Carlisle Garrison.-approached the rebel, pickets, a couple miles this side of Chambersburg, and were .fired' upon, ami two of ,mr men.taken prisoners. It is believed they had been wound ed. Thus far, we learn, no private or other property, has been destroyed at Clnuo borsburg. The town was surrendered with out resistance, and the rebel commander 1 at once demanded that the stores be opened so', that ha might supply himself wilh-suub ,arti cles as ho stood in need of. : lie took blank ets, bats, shoes, .groceries, &0., and paid fur ■ them in Coiifcderatn money. Wo bear ofinilitary movements being made at Harrisburg niid elsewhere, but at present .ire.need not refer in detail to them... 1 ■lt is reported tn-|lay that "another force of rebels—some 10,000 - (rung —lire in posses sion (if Cettvshurg, 'Whether tins is really true or false; we eaiinot tell, but wo fear there nro "rounds fur the rumor. Our citizens li.ivo licen in a .high state of excitement fnr several days,- and many families left town on n-douldc quick. This is to ho deplored) for ive hold that no good male citizen is excusable for leaving the town he, lives in when danger threatens it. Let those who are elill in town remain here, so that we; may meet together in consultation. If the enemy approach our town in' numbers thy cannot be successfully resisted, wo suppose we, will have to surrender, and make the best bargain we can. Daring the last two or three days thou sands of horsey have been removed from Our valley, and cur country friends appear dulori mined to protect their live stock as far us possible. " All quiet along the line” when wo wool to press—'Wednesday afternoon. Apologeiical.—The excitement that has prevailed in our town fur several days has prevented us from giving much attention fu editorial duties. Head Them Attentively. —There are sev eral articles in our paper of to dy to which we .would cal! the attention of tho reader. Tito first is the letter ,d Uni. Emerson Ether. tubes, formerly a Whig member of Congress.’ from Tennessee, a relugee from thal-Stiite in the earlier days of the rehellionon account of his strung Union sentiments, and more recently Clerk of thq Republican House of Representatives. The letter is addressed to a number ol citizens in Memphis, Tennessee, and is well worthy, a careful perusal by every sincere friend of his country. We give it a place in our column? to'tlie exclusion of much other .matter, believing that it will, fully make up in interest for any lack of va viety indicia week’s ■ l oluiitect'. It will he. found on our first page. Tor sarcasm it is equal-to tho best letters of Junius. V e also ask n careful reading of the pow erful letter of Judge William Doer. an old line Whip;, which i s nisi) on pm- first page. The endorsement he gives to the doutrlno nl a forcible resistance to despotic acts‘on the part of the administration will startle some conservative people, hut trfsS?iSfeomplexion must wo all come a last. -It may-as well be understood first lv , first that the administration must-obey the Constitution and the laws, ha lf they do not the people will become des perate. Another important article, worthy the attention of all, will bo found on this page of of our paper. We refer to (be speech ol lion. Ltman TncsiDCLL, the Republican U. S. Senator of Illinois. Remember, reader, Mr. Trumbull is a leader of bis party in the Senate a'od belong* to the President’s own State. Read what bo says to his political friends, and then ponder well the truths he uttered. Let our rulers at Washing ton heed the advice of Trumbull be fore it is too lata, for wo tall them they have nheady tested the people to their utmost en durance. We repeat, road these several articles at tentively. PttbJic Mrelins, In-compliance with die cull of the Chief Burgess, the citizens of .Carlisle and vicinity held a very large’meeting in,the Court-House on Monday evening. Col. R. M. lle.vdebson was called to the chair; John Stuart, jr. of South Middleton, and Dr. Mahon of Carlisle, were appointed Vico Presidents, .and llenrv B. Hitter and \vthain Secretaries. After hoing thus organized, J. B.*Bralton moved.that the following niuncd gentlemen be appointed a committee of safely, whose duly it shall he to consult together and de termine v. lint is best to he done in the event of the rebels approaching the town, viz Col. R. M. Henderson,'Col. L. Todd,'Col. John Lee,'Capt. W. M. Porter, Capt. C. Kuhn, Capt. A. B. Sharp. Capt. ,R. M’Curtuey, Lieut. John Turner, and Lieut. Hays. Capt. Sharp said ho was perfectly satisfied with the committee, hut ho desired'too see a tew men who have not been in the military '«e therefore moved added' Kentlemen he added to the cum.niucc, viz-Jodgo Gra bom Judge Wane, Dr. Mahon, W ln M Henderson, V/m. 11. iM.n c . r , a, D y (Chief Burges*,.) Jon. M'Ginois. Dr/'Dalc. ,J. B. Bratton,t'.i.-d;IJ. Cornman. The motion as amended was unanimously agreed fo,' Short speeches were made hv Messrs.'Bhahp, Npwshaui, Shearer nod Shop ley, and tho meeting adjourned, “Meeting tor the Soldiers.’,’ —The meet ing held in the First Presbyterian Church, in this borough, on Thursday evening last, to awaken a deeper interest “in behalf of the U. S. Christian Commission, and to' raise funds for the relief of our bravo soldiers in camp and hospital,” was tolerably well at tended, and was addressed by the Rev. (?) W. B. Chidlaw, of Ohio. .In our lust we spokiy of this’proposed meeting, and commended its objects, and recommended Mr. Chidlaw as the “soldier’s friend." Well, the mooting came off, and the Rev. C. delivered bis speech. In concluding his remarks, and after the col- lection had been taken up, be spoke, content pi ously of the Democratic party, and with a sneer asked if there were “ any Copperheads in this community," He. said that they had plenty I, of Copperheads out west, “ but their ■chief (VALLANDtoUAM,) had gone South," &o. Now,jwo know nothing of this Mr. Cnim Law, nor can we say whether ho is a “Rev orend” at all or not, but it suspect ed that it is'not fur the U. S. Christian Com mission that he is making speeches and col lecting ftind.s, but for the National Union Abolition .League. The Abolitionists are re sorting to all sorts of moans and devices, fair and foul, to bold on to power. The;. sacred desk, is desecrated, our public Schools and Colleges are .invaded, and the Constitution and laws trampled upon by the minions iii the employ of the Wasbihgton.dynnsty. The deliberate insult offered to one-balfbis hear ers by this Mr. Chidlaw after -he had col lected their nioney, was ns impudent ns it was vulgar and libellous. No fair man—parti- oularly a stranger—would bo guilty of thus speaking to n promiscuous.' audience.. No true man would take ad vantage of a. holy cause to spit Hut his spleen and blackguard-'' ism. ii this Abolition emissary desires to. address the people uf.Carlialo in defence of Ida peculiar negro dogmas,.wo have no dll lection, hut lot him not fahiety assume that be is speaking for the U. S. Christian Com mission'. ■ In conclusion, if any of our readers desire to send money to the the U. S., Christian 'Commission, we advise them to transmit it to. a responsible man, who will.hand.it over to the Treasurer of the Commission, and hut to the Treasurer of a. Blnekstmko League. Child Murder. — A dreadful and revolting child murder was porpotfatedin North Mid dleton township, two miles north of Carlisle, on Thursday, night of last week. On that night, about 2 o’clock, Mary Ann Oornman, a girl about IS years of age, in the employ of Mr. Petek Stock, rose irons her bed, and complained of being sick. Some tif the fam ily got up and made her tea, which sliD'drnnk 4 and then said she felt, “much hotter,” and with the other members of the family re turned to bed. About a half hour after this she .again rose from her bed and complained of great pain ; the female members of the family also got up to .wait upon iter. She" then said she must “ go out,” and proceeded ■to the yard in. her night-clothes. From Lite yard,she walked to a field close hv, where she gave birth to a large well-dovolped male child. • Immediately after its birth the un natural mother cut its throat from ear to ear, with a common pocket-knife, which Was found in possession of tho murderess; ■* After committing the murder, site attempted to.re turn to the house, but only got as far. as the yard, where she swooned tied full. She was' carried into the house by .the mein hers of tho family, who noticing her appearance, siispoc od something wrong, and made search with a candle, and soon fouiid the murdered child. Mary Ann was put to bed, and soon after placed under the care of a. physician, and was fast recovering at last accounts... She confessed that she gave -birth to 1 the child, but rna.de ho confession concerning the mur der. Coroner Smith held an inquest on the body of the child on Friday morning. Tito jury returned a verdict that the child came to its death from cuts in the throat with a knife in the hands of die mother,.Mary Ann- Corn-man. Milroy’s IV agon-Train.— Gen. Milrov,com manding in Western Virginia, was attacked last week by the force of rebels now- invading this State, and bis command cut in two, the troops being on one side and the wagons on t lie other. Many oftiie latter were captured. The remainder commenced a retreat from Martinsbufg in this direction about noon on Sunday, having eight, hours’ start of the rebels. They passed, through the various towns in the valley, still in advance of the enemy, and arrived in Carlisle on .Tuesday morning, and proceeded W Harrisburg. The train is an immense one, consisting of up wards of live lin ml rod wagons, (four horses to the wagon.) and is about three miles in length. '1 hey have made the extraordinary march of one hundred and twenty miles in forty-eight hours, having had-, no sleep during that time, and stopping only to feed the horses.' Both.horses and drivers hear evidence of the hardships endured on the re treat. Aery- many ot the wagons were driven by c oitrahands, who rode the wheel horse, while their families pat perched upon the top of iho load. Hero on one wag on were old white headed crones, and on an other would ho little negro children who had fallen asleep from sheer exhaustion, while the snu beat full on their upturned faces. Over all was thrown a yellow mantle of dust.— Eyelashes, eyebrows, flesh and wool wore powdered so thickly as to give tho caravan a most motley and grotesque appearance. Tho luggage consisted of provisions, knapsacks, haversacks, &u. The entire train is now en camped near Harrisburg. Old Silver Spring.—A meeting of the Democratic Uluh of Silver Spring township was held at Duey’s hotel, in Koguostown, on on Saturday evening last, which was address ed by Colonel John Clondonin, J. B. Leidig. E-q., and David Brenizer, Esq; The meet ing adjourned with throe cheers for the Union and the Constitution, to meet at King stou on .thu owning of June 20. North Middleton Moving.— Tho Demo crats of North Middleton township held a very large meeting at Swigert’s School H mac, on Kalnrdtiy. evening, nnl organized a Club. Tho .meeting wan,addressed by Mr. Newsham and others. of the Club on Saturday evening was a rousor, and file greatest enthusiasm prevailed. OLD SODTIMJIPTOJI AWilKfe! The following loiter from a valued young friond/camo to hand too late for our last: „ Southampton township, 1 June 7, 18C3. J Friend Bratton; De.ut Sir— ln. pursuance of notice given a few days ago that a Demoeratio meeting would bo held in Clovofsburg, on Friday eve mng, Juno 5, there was a-grand rally of the old true and tried Demoeratio party. The meeting being Called to order. Mr. William lliiwk was chosen President, E-Ti. Goodyear Secretary, Mr. Samuel Baker Assistant Sec retary. After having taken their seats, the mooting was enlivened by tile Messrs. Hal ters, with some choice'martial music; after which Cbas. E. Mnglaughlin, Esq., of Car lisle, addressed the meeting, with solid truths and stubborn facta. -Rufus E. Sliaploy, Esq - ., also of Carlisle, was then called upon and addressed the meeting at some length, and with a happy effect. During the delivery of both addresses the speakers wore vociferously applauded. [ should like very much to give you a synopsis of the speeches, but really have not the time. After the speakers had finished, three rousing cheers wore given for the “Union and the Constitution," three more for the gallant M’Clellan.' After which the band discoursed some excellent music, and too meeting adjourned. There never was such an out-pouring of the “ bone and sinew" of our county as on thisoccasion ; rich,and poor, old,and young, came forward to ratify, by their presence, their faith in the Demoeracy.for the salvation of our Country. Even the ladies (God bless them !) camo out en masse, and by their pres ence infused new life and energy in the hearts of the men. Several members of the Union League were present, and I am confident that Uiey wont home wise if not bettor men.— They are beginning to tremble for their trai tor cause. They are beginning 'to'find out to their cost that this-Abolition doctrine can not succeed, arid are making great efforts to strengthen their party.' They hold meetings almost weekly, and-invite all to join—even little boys, who have not yet learned to write their,own names—but as vet have most sig nally JOiiJed. .1 am confident they do not have twenty nantes to their paper, and no prospects of getting any. more. At ■ their next regular meeting they boast - that they are going to show-tho Copperheads (as they call us.) that, they can have a larger meeting thaq avo bad ; but if they do, they will- have to import- Abolitionists’, from'Massachusetts Or some other sink of treason. But if they should bo able to ettoel us in this respect we will open their eyes _at the next election, when they will find that the Democrats arc in earnest, and are determined to put down the party that has trampled under .foot thej Con-lifbtion ; that-bus ruthlessly sundered our glorious Union ;.t.hat has robbed the trea sury until hanki uptcy'stares_us in the face ; that has fetten d tiie freedom of the-prcss;.and of speech, and that proposes to elevate the ne gro to the equal of the white race. At the next Presidential election we will so completely whip them under their new pet name' of Loyal Union League," that the devil will be at a loss to find them another name. In my opinion ho lms famished them with names from Tory down to the present one, and believe that’be is now. at the end of his’ vocabulary of names, consequently . the parly will bo annihilated for want of a name.

Caucipr Kim I”— I Tho Harrisburg Patriot <C- Union of Monday, gives the following account of the arrest of an old di vine, Mr. Eeacock, a man 70 years of age, ■ because bo refused to pray for “either Jeff Davis or Abraham Lincoln.’' Great God, what are wo coming to? Is the administra tion determined upon war in -the Worth? But to" tho article from tho Union : On Saturday last the Reverend Mr. Lea cock, formerly, of Wow'Orleans, was arrested by a file of soldiers while at breakfast, in the house of his nephew, the Rector of tho Episcopal-Church in - this city, and without being allowed to take any baggage, was marched across tho river, placed hi the cars hound fur Baltimore, without warrant, with out any offence charged. Wo ore left in un certainty ns to whether bo is to bo sent with in the rebel lines, iihprisonod in some Federal hastilo, shot, bung, or crucified. It will be remembered by our renders that tho Rev. Mr. Leacock was an Episcopal Rector in Hew Orleans, whore he hml ministered for over eleven years, and from which he was expelled by Gen. Butler because ho would not insert in the services of bis church a prayer for Abifthiun Lincoln. Tho church to which lu* belonged in tho Smith had inserted a prayer for tiic President of tho Confederate States which, upon tho advent of Butler, Mr. Lea cock discontinued, ami in his public prayers omitted to pray either for Jeff. Davis or Abra ham Lincoln, buf this did Hot satisfy the tyiannicnl brute Butler, and Air. Leacock was banished by tho degenerate son of his Puritan fathers, who fled from England toon inhospitable shore, for the purpose of esca ping religious persecution and enjoying tho right to worship God in -any manner they pleased. Subsequently, when Butler was superseded by Banks, Mr. Lea-oek returned to New Orleans, but was arrested by order of Banks and required'to- take tho oath of allegiance, upon the refusal of which lie was again -banished. Returning to Harrisburg at the earnest entreaty of liis nephew, bo has since been living a-retired and quiet life, interfering with no one. Mr. Leacock is an 01,1 nmn ' nearly seventy years nf n«-n. has al ways been in favor of the Onion us it was. hut eon d not, at the bidding of Bntlor or Bunks, dissolve his allegiance to the church i. n mi .

Military Outrages in Ohio.— The Col umbtia (Ohio) Crisis has accounts from’ Day ton .of tl'io doings of the military, under a Major Keith, an Abolition lawyer from Jack- Son county, in that State, which soniids very much like tho '• Horrors of Missouri." .It appears that some half doze'n or more Democratic farmers in Greene county,-living in the same settlement, were offensive to their Abolition neighbors, ns all such are.— Major Keith sent one of his sergeants to look after them ;nhd from some “unseen quar tor’’—tkat is the Kansas way of doing it— three shots were fired at the sgid sergeant.— That is the way Jennison, bf Kansas, used to do it—(was Major Keith.over in that country ?)—and, like Jennison, the sergeant was not hit, but,the bullets came terribly close 1 , • , Thereupon Major Keith had six persons arrested as hostages until the “ unseen" man is delivered up! The six persons,are now in tlio jail at Dayton, and are forbid eren to see ono of their family. A young and jveakly son of one of them called on Major Keith a few days since and asked to see his father; thereupon Major Keith ordered tho hoy to he handcuffed and a hall and chain fastened to his leg and in carcerated in a close cell -fur tho crime of asking to see his father.

Significant Speech of Senator Trumbull , of Illinois—Wholesome but Distasteful Advice to Abolitionists. , ■ lion. Lyman' 1 Trumbull, Senator for, Illi nois, made tho following speech at the Re publican meeting hold in tho Court House square, Chicago, on Thursday evening: * Mr. Trumbull said; It was rather embar rassing to attempt to speak to an audience which insisted on hearing some one else, but solemn convictions of duty corn pelted him to speak, when under ordinary circumstances ho would Inlve remained silent. Ho did not conic to inflame their passions, already too much aroused* Their country was in danger, and-they must look the peril in the face. No adjectives he could pile up, no vile names he could apply to'thoso, who do not agree with him, calling them Copper; beads and traitors, .would assist in arresting the rebellion or in assorting the supremacy of the Constitution and tho Taws. Ho did not desire to inspire them with hurrahs, but ho wished to talk to their judg ments and inspire them through appeals to thoir reasons. The times, ho said* are grvae! A majori ty of the people of our State are taking ground against the Administration—and why? In tho name of heaven, \vhy is this ? I will toll you why; I will point out to you some of our mistakes that they may bo corrected in the future. The. reason is we have not ad hered to David Crockotts’s motto—“ Bo Sure you are right and then go ahead !” . (A voice —‘’We are always right.”) I have lived long enough to know that I am not infallible, perhaps you are; I have some respect for the opinion of others. One of our, mistakes is that we have allowed our opponents to make false issues. But this is not the worst. Tho great charge, the charge that has dam aged the administration above all others, is that we are in favor of tho exercise (if arbi trary power, that wo are oppose 1 to the free- ■ dom ol speech and opinion, to the freedom of tho press, in favor of curtailing personal liberty, and in favor of a despotism. Niiw we should, not allow those thisgs. , Wo have been tho advocate of free, speech for the last forty years; and should not allow the party which during the wbido time has advocated the giigdi) usurp our .place. Wo are lighting, for,the restoration of the Union, and the pres ervation of the Constitution, .and all tho, lib erties it guarantees to every citizen. And it makes me feel bad when I hear some hon est friend, brimming full of, patriotism, say he does -not care for the Constitution, anil does.not want to have it forced .into his way : or thrust in, his fact- until, the war is over.— The rebels cannot thrust, it in ht,s face, for •they have no rights under it save tho right tithe Hied and hung for treason. -(Continued applause.) In certain, districts the military law is supremo. . General Grant is in com mand of an army in .the State of Missiasipjn, which is in revolt. Will any one deny his right to make arrests, his to. suppress news papers, and to level trees; like those around you to-night, in order to get a. range tor his guns? No,. -And yet these are .till’arbitrary powers. But these exercises of it are not the troublesome'cases, . The great difficulty is in these districts, where rightful civil gov ernment is in operation, where, the judicial tribunals are open and tho law respected— the laws'which afford-a reolody lor every wrong. As a rule, wo niust'remember that the civil law is superior to tho military law, and tho cases are rare, very rare, where the rule can bo reversed. It bare resolves itself into the plain naked question of whether the President and his Generals, by tho simple -clickltng of.,a telegraph 'instrument, can cause the imprisonment of A. B, or, C. If one General can do it, another can do it, and where is. the end ? who will-..’fix-'the limit? (Great sensation and murmurs.) Do you propose to interfere , with .the ballot-box ?. (tti-iea of; “Not Not’*. “Novm-1 -Nov'er't” from all' parts of the meeting.) I am-glad to hear you pay .that, and glad you are so unanimous. Did it ever occur to you' that (lie next election may put an entirely differ ent face upon affairs? The next election.limy bring great and deplorable, changes, when Vallandigliam .and men of his class may de termine who are to. bo arrested. (Cries of “No 1. that etui never,be.’,’ “ Never, never/’ from all parts of the crowd.) Well, gentle men, there is no use in closing your eyes to the facts which exist around you on every side. I told you 1 came hero to address,my-' self to your reason and not to your passions, and- in .view of that light I ask yon who are being elected. Governors of loyal States, who compose a majority .of the Legislature of the loyal State of Illinois, and who was recently elected mayor of her, principal and most loyal : City, and in view ,of these facts what may the future not.have in store? (Cries ol “Jennison." “ Music.” ‘‘Wodon’t won’t to hoar you.” “You sent a telegram to the President.”) I know! am distasteful, but am I not truthful.? I would claim your reason divested of paesion. The same chal ice you hold to the lips of your adversaries to-day, to-morrow may, bo returned to your lips. Would you like,to drink of it? Close our eyes ns we may, there is no safety for us, no safety for you and I and every Amer ican citizen, now and in the future, but in an unvarying-adherence to the constitutional landmarks of our fathers. (Further crjes of “Jennison.” “ Music,/ and' much dissatis faction.) You are wrong—it is your great est and gravest mistake—in allowing your adversaries to place you in tho position of being opposed to tho Constitution., (Cries for "Mennison,” and “ Qive its somebody else.”). I see that I am distasteful, but I cannot help it. and will not detain you long. .Who is .there .among you who does nut ..be lieve in adhering -strictly to the.Constitution 1 in these times, and. extending to every citi zen of the loyal States its guarantees? ‘ Who among you is prepared to acknowledge' -our Government is a failure? Who among you is prepared to say tho Constitution is. a line thing for peace—good enough—but when ' war comes it must be rolled up and laid away ? Of in other words—for it means the same— who among you is ready to substitute the will . atid opinion of one man, who may be another Vallandigliam., in place of the Gonstitution ns the supreme law of tho land? (Cries of “ Wo don’t want any more of that.” “ What’s that band for?”) Well, hear mo through, for -I will not bo long, and tho .questions be fore you are of so hutch importance and grav ity that yim should listen patiently and, not only that, decide dispassionately. The Con stitution is broad. It grants all powers nec essary, even for the suppression of treason in tho North. (Applause.) Yes, gentlemen, it is just as legal and bidding upon the Gen eral in the field, and tho civil officers of the nation, ns it is upon the humblest citizen in the land. Has it come to this, that yop will deny to tho free city of Chicago tho right of a citizen to discuss tho acts of.tljo .President? (Cries of" Wo won’t allosv.it/’ njjd “ None but Copperheads do that, and wo will stop them.”) Is there a .man .in this audience who has not expressed to-day Ufa dissatisfac tion with some not of the President ? . (“Yes, “Yes,”) “Wo have none gt .us.expressed any dissatisfaction.”) Ah, do all of you, then, think the President’s revocation of General Burnside’s order, suppressing lljo Chicago Times was right,? (Cries 'qf ".No 1” “No / “It was wrong!” "lie ought to have en forced tho order 1”) Then you all deserve to bo taken in band by the military power and sent beyond thojineo. You will bo much stronger with the law on your side. Show that Mr. .Storpy has . counseled resistance to Lite draft or, encouraged desertion; those are nenitentinry offenses. Then arrest him and ako him before the courts. Where would yoti get your n,iob;to rescue him ? Why therJ would not bo a„oorporal’s guard in the city that would go iptoit. Try him in the courts. (A voice, “No, this would take tpo nutph time; it would take two years.”) Too nTuoh timol Cunnot you wait lur the execution of the law ? It will not take two months. Do -you know Wluit the laws are? I will read some of them. He then read from a law of the late Congress forbidding correspondence with the rebels and affording them aid and comfort. (Asingle voice on thestand, “That’s Just what Wilbur F. Storey does everyday.”) Then go, he said, yop are a citizen, and make complaint to the grand jury yourself. It is your duty.
