To be Discharged.— By direction of an or
der from the War Department, all recruits
dad drafted men In camps of rendezvous, ex
cept those for the regular army, are-to be im-.
mediately discharged from the service. Un
der this ■ order Camp Biddle, ’ at Carlisle
Barracks, will cease to exist and the men are
to be mustered out to-day. What disposition
will bo made of the camp and its accommo
dations we are not prepared to say, but pre
sume it will-bo used by the regular army.—
This order is a fat thing for those who but
recently entered the army at high bounties.
jgy Our merchants are now , .receiving
their new goods, and the Spring trade in
Carlisle is open. There is a great fall in
prices, and people will no doubt think,
when they go to make their purchases, that
r.tte are living in the ago of Democratic rule !
Don’t say that wO could, if we would, pull
the Wool off your eyes';
Wheat.— The prospect for a fine drop of
wheat thitf seised is very flattering. The
heavy fall of snow during the cold weather
prevented it from being winter killed, and
the absence of wet freezing weather this
Spring, has enabled it to ptesenf.-a' nice ap
pearance and take good root/ Should no
' calamity overtake it between this arid brir
■fest, this .great staple will yiefd abiindaritly.

'such little matters of interest us may trans
pire in their localities, wo will endeavor to
make the local department of our paper as
interesting as'possible.
What Good . Does That Do ?—Every day
of two wo notice a poor dog going dovt'n
street pell-mell, hurry-scurry, with a kettle
fastened to his caudal appendage, by some
miaohievods urchin, who had taken this meth
od of torturing the animal, seeing his aston
ishment and terror at seeing himself thus at
tached, and go yelping along at a furious
tata, to the great Hetrlment of pedestrians.
Now what fun or common sense is there in
this kind of employment? The boy who
thus takes delight in torturing a poor dumb
animal, will, as ho gets.’older, do' worse
things.
Blowing out Kerosone Lamps The dan
ger of blowing out kerosene or carbon oil
lactfps from the top is greater than people
generally suppose. There' are several in
stances on record where lives have been lost
by the explosion of lamps from' this practice.
The following explanation of the causes that
produce the explosion are worth considering
and heeding:. . .
First—The' oil in the lamp is generally
■low, leaving more room for gas..
Second—The gas is very inflamable, and
Will always explode when ignited..
Third—ln blowing the blaze down, it ig
nites the gas.
' The inference is, a lamp should never be,
blown oat from the top. Tho wick may not
perfectly £ll the tube, and the flams may go
dawn, when the gas comes up.
Fourth—the less oil in the lamp, the
greater danger.

- Gen. Quant had been stmt down to Sheb
man’s nlmy, for what ? The radicals—those
wretches whose “loyolty” consists of loud
declamations and a cry for more blood—the
radicals, we say, supposed that Grant was
to supersede the bravo Sherman, in com
mand, and thus, as far as possible, disgrace
him. They chuckled, and rubbed the palms
of their fat hands—made fat by ptiblid plun
der. ThSy felt a savage joy when they
were told that Sherman's noble army was to
bo taljen from him. They did not liko Sher
man, for ho with his army of braves had
brought to a close much sooner than
“ loyal thieves" desired. They wanted
at least one summer more in which to fill
contracts and enrich themselves. But; the
noble Grant has fco big a heart under his
ribs to be guilty of a me'au act. He'is a sol
dier and a man , and feels for a bravo com
panion in arms like Sherman. He proceeded
to Sherman’s head-quarters, had a confer
ence with his oid friend, told him frankly
that be had committed ft slight mistake, and
requested him to send word to Johnston, the
rebel General, that he must surrender his
army to Sherman (not to Grant,) on the
same conditions precisely that Bee surren
dered to Grant.’ Sherman, at the head of
his army,.wrote the despatch to 'Johnston,
requiring his surrender according to the new
terms, and at once sent it to him, John
ston received it, and agreed to it, and sur
rendered his army, to Sherman. 'Thus, we
see, Gen. Grant acted nobly; ha hid not at
tempt to rob Sherman of bis well-earned
laurels, as the radicals desired. No, no, he
wae too muoh of a soldier, too much of a man
to do that. The radical blood-hounds may
snarl and grumble, but neither Gen. Grant
or Gen. Sherman or President Johnson, care
a snuff for thorn. They art about to be dis
carded, and soon they will be despised by
all well-disposed men.
TOE new president*
As the country is now interested iri rill
that relates to Andrew Johnson, and espec
ially in his “ record,” wo reproduce the fol
lowing. After_ the war bad begun, be of
fered, on tbs 24th ot July, 1861, in the Sen
ate, the following resolution—being the same
as that offered by Mr. Crittenden -in the
House of Representatives on tho 22d o(
July:
itesolied, That the present deplorable civ
il war has been forced upon the country by
the disuhionists of tbo Southern States, now
in arms against',the Constitutional, Govern
ment, and in arra’S around the .Capitol•, that
in this National emergency, Congress, ban
ishing all feeling of mere passion and icsent
ment, will recollect only Hts, duty to the
whole country ; that this war is not waged
on their part in any spirit of oppression. Or
for any purpose of conquest or subjugation,
or purpose of overthrowing or interfering
.with the rights or established institutions of
those States/but to defend and maintain the
supremacy of. the Constitution, and to pre
serve the Union, with all the dignity, equal
ity, Hud rights of tho several States unim
paired ; an'd.that as"soon as these objscts«are
■ accomplished the War ought to cease.
At the suggestion of Mr. Sumner, says the
Dayton .Empire, it was'laid upon the table,
but the next day was colled, up by Mr.
Johnson. A debate of some length followed.
JJr. Polk, of Missouri, proposed that the war'
■should’ be, charged upon Northern disunion
ists also. To which Johnson replied: “ The
resolution does nothing but set forth a single
fact particularly, as it has ocoured since this
contest domihenoed. Trumbull, of Illinois,
and other Bopublican Seuatprs, objected to
the denial that “ subjugation" was the ob
ject of the war. To which Johnson replied :
“Of course the reoblutfon dontcmplates the
enforcement of the laws' and a submission of
the rebels to the laws and tlid Constitution.
The resolution simply states that we are not
waging a war for the subjugation of States.
If the Const!tHtion is maintained, and the
lawn: curried out, the States taketfaeir.pTades
and all rebel citizens must submit. That is
the whole'of it.” This is very different from
the “ Solicitor Whiting theory,” whieli terri
torializes the seceded' Slates. It is remarka
ble that while Johnson's speeches before the
war arid since, made in the Senate, are very
bitter against treason and traitors, threaten
ingl the extreme penalties ol the Taw,' they
contain nothing definite obout slavery. And
the same is equally true of all his remarks
since his inauguration as Vice-President and
President, lie is yet to declare his policy
distinctly ..upon that most troublesome of
questions ; for he is not bbund by tho policy
or proclamations of his’predeoeasor. Let not
the “ radicals”'rejoice too. soon. It) any

Boston, April 28. —The suit brought by
Leonard Sturtivant against A. 11. Ailed for
illegal-arrest and imprisonment, which has
been on trial here for nine days in. the Su
preme Court, closed to-day, the jury render
ing a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, Sturti
vant, for §32,500.
At the breaking out of tho Rebellion Stur
tivant was -doing business in Now'Orleans,
and coming north was arrested and lodged in
jail upon charges of disloyalty preferred by
Allen. '
A good symptom. There are tens of thou
sands of men, who, like Sturtivant, the
plaintiff abode, have suffered illegal arrest and
imprisonment. Any bad man who desired to
See bis neighbor punished in this way, 1 could
gratify his spite'. Let accounts now he settled .
Let every man who was illegally arrested
or imprisoned. bring suit against tho men
who encouraged,thd outrage. 1 No difference
how high or low the men who : were instru
mental in these illegal arrests, they are all
guilty and should be punished. Let the law
then take its course. Democrats have suf
fered long and patiently, but once, more law
and not brute force is to prevail. In conclu
sion wo copy the following article from' the
Philadelphia Ledger, a - strong Administra
tion pepOr, to which" wo would call attention.
The remarks of the ,Ledger editor aro very,
sound, and had hotterbB heeded at once : ;
Mob Justice.— The unreasonable’cliara'o l

slight degree the photogniph of Booth, the
assassin, was taken into-iiistody by,two de
fectives. When he got to Titusville, ho found
the news Of his arrest had preood him, and a
crowd clamorous for binging him on the spot
followed hiifi to the" hotel. An investigation
th'efe'-6‘howed who .he was, and thoHgh the
two stupid dotecliy,{is who arrested hi in told
tho mob that he was hot Booth, they still in
sisted that he ought to be hung. When the
detectives said ho belonged to tho State of
Now Jersey add the Camden and Amboy
llailroad Company, som'e chap' in tho crowd
said—“' Well d—n him—lib ought to 6'e shot
any how," Any innocbflt man’s life may bd
put in danger from such ignorance and brii 1 -
taility as this, If is tithe that every 01W who
undertakes to set tho laws at defiance and to
usurp its authority were' punished. A Bos
ton jury has begun the work by giving a citi
zen $32,500 damages against an individual
who tried to set tho mob spirit at work

A STRANGE STORK.
In view of the apparont intention of the
Administration to huild up a’ negro army to -
hold the Southern people in subjection, it.was 1
predicted by some whoso knowledge of the
negro character would not allow them to put
trust in their fidelity, that this favorite abo
lition experiment would in nit probability
end as did that of the British in building up
a native army in India—that is, in a bloody
and cruel mutiny, the first victims of which
would be the white officers of the black troops.
If the following strange otory bo true, which
appears among the despatches to tho loading
Republican journal of Western Pennsylvania;
it would appear that such apprehensions were
not, unfounded;

soihe days ago. Sooth walking on drutohds.
A party of four or five accompanied them’,
who spoke ofßobth os a wounded Marylander!,
on his way homp.'apd that they wished to'
leave him there a 'short tim'e’, and Would tilko'
him away on the 26th..
Booth limped'somewhat; and walked bn
crutches about tho place, complaining of his
ankle; He find Harrold regularly took theijr'
meals at the' house, and Booth KepVu’p-ap
pearances'well. One day at the dinner table
tho_ conversation turpbdon the assassination
of the President, Wen.Bqotti' denounced the
a'Ssaß6ina'tio& in the severest terms. saying
that there was no punishment Se'vere enough'
for the perpetrator. At another time some
, otfe said in' his presence that:rewordsalnnu'nt
ing to two hundredthousand dollars had been
offered fir Booth. and that ho would like to
catcULhim,; when Booth replied, “Yes, it
would,be a' ghod haul, but the 'amount will
doubtless be’ increased to five- hundred: thotf
sand dollars.’’; , r. ;
Tho two Garretts,who lived-on.the place',
allege that they ‘ had no idea that-these two

hea'rd'that they .werelookipg for tho assassins,'
they sent word to them that these two men
wore on tho place; id other wordpthey assert
that they are entirely innocent of giving the
'assassins any Sid or. comfort, knowing them
to he such. ' . •
The Ida, a tugboat, reached here about two
o’clock this morning, with Ilurrold and the
young men 1 , above relerred to, as wjjll as the
body of Booth. Harrold was immediately
placed in a safe place. Thus far, it is stated,
he has manifested no disposition to speak of
the affair, but a's he was known as a very talk
ative young man, he may soon resume the
tide of his tongue. , '
Booth and Harrold were dressed iin rdbal

was otherwise not disguised,much. - Booth’s'

not be heard but it was. evidently tin inti

As the fire mounted it lit up tho interior
of the barn, bringing out;its contents,, and
the central figure, the devilish criminal,t.fp,
full yeiief. There were no animals iff..final

boast at bay there., , There were some- ugci-,
oultural; implements-, , and a. pile of. .hiiy
whijh had afforded ,a lair for. Booth and Har

in tfe middle pi the floor, and on; seeing the
