Terrible Calamity —‘Seven- Children
Burned to Death !—On Thursday night Inst,
May 2d, the rdwelling house of Mr. Joseph
Mayberry, in Frankford township, this
county, was totally destroyed by five, and,
horrible to relate, seven of his children per
ished in the Haines! The fire, it appears,
originated in the basement of tho building at
about 11 o’clock, when tho members of' the
family—Mr. Mayberry, his wifa and seven
children—-were sound asleep. When first
discovered by Mrs. M., tho entire building
■was in flames. Mr. and Mrs, M. at once
jumped from thoir bod and rushed to the
room where six of the children wore sleeping.
Their charabsr was filled with black smoko.
The eldest daughter was the first to loavo tho
room, and tha mother placed the baby in her
keeping and attempted to rescue tho other
five children. At this moment the Doors and
roof, having been burned to a crisp, fell in.
Mr. and Mrs. M. sprang to a window and
escaped, hut the children fell to tho cellar
with the burning building, where they soon
perished. Their cries could bo distinctly
hoard for several minutes by their agonized
parents. The names and ages of the'chil
drea were— Leah, X3j years./ Mary, 11
yearS; Isabella, 7 years; Jeremiah, 5i
years; Lizzie Agues, 4 years ; Joseph, .3
years; and David, 10 months. ‘The building
was entirely consumed, and with it the chil
dren were literally burned up. Mr. and
.Mrs. Mayberuy wore both severely burned
before they escaped from the building, but
their injuries nro not serious.
This is the most fearful calamity that has
ever happened in our county, and Us reoitnl
causes tho heart to sicken and tho eye to
moisten. Tho feelings of tho distressed pa
rents can neither be imagined»or described.
May God, in His infinite goodness, render
them the aid they need.

Slight Pike.—On last Thursday morning
the slnughter-houso of Mr. Geo, A. Murray,
in Dickinson alley, was discovered -to be on
Are. The alarm was immediately sounded
and our firemen were promptly on tho ground,
■bnt their services were not required, a few
buckets of water being sufficient to extin
guish the flames. The fire wos accidental
and the damage done slight.
ifinr Aiikau I—By reference to our adver
tising columns it will be noticed that the
celebrated and original “ Martinetta Ravel
Troupe and Dramatic Company" will perform
in Rheem’s Hall this (Thursday) and to-mbrr
row (Friday) evenings. The company has
lately been playing at Niblo’s Garden, Now
York, Washington City, Harrisburg and oth
er places, and have given entire satisfaction.
We bespeak for them crowded houses.
Kirby."— The farmer who is about
to purchase a mowing and'Roaping Machine
of course desires the best, and those
who have used them say there is hone supe
rior to the “ Kirby." The Kirby Mower and
Reaper is made mostly of iron and steel, and
has tho independent action of the finger bar.
It is convenient,' light and durable. Tho
Reel is perfectly adjustiblo in any direction,
and the machine has a Rake by which tho
driver throws off tho sheaves at will. It has
also a scattering Rake. la fact the Kirov
combined Machine is claimed as the best
Mower, the best Reaper and the best self-
Raker, all combined in one machine, that
has ever been offered to the farmer.
- Farmers should loss no time in examining
the Kirby, which is for sale by P. Gardner
& Co., Main Street, Carlisle. Harvest is at
band, and every farmer ought to bo prepared
for if, »
Wheat.— On the Minnesota river, above
St. Paul, wheat, it is said, is a drug at fifty
cents a bushel. In the storehouses thousands
of, bushels are waiting transportation, and
thousands upon thousands of bushels have
suffered from dampness Qnd heating. Some
dealers who bought a year since at a dollar,
and even ten shillings a bushel there, have
been ruined by tho fall,. The enormous cost
■ofrailroad transportation eats up, it is said,
all the profit on the article, and keeps the
price down to the producers.
A committee from tho board of School
Controllers of Phila'delphii, .have gone to

of course can he allowed to import arehlteo
turul notions also.
‘THE ORIGINAL FOMENTERS.
Who were tho original fomenters and in
stigators of the troubles that have torn the
country, by four years ,6f terrible war and
loaded it with hundreds of millions of debt ?
Answer—the nigger owners of the South and
the nigger worshipers of the North.—Nsio
York Herrld. .
It is well to kcej) tho truth contained in
tho above before the public. Tho people
should not forgot who ware tho Original ini
stigatora of all our troubles, and each one of
tho two parties should bo hold responsible
for their own share of the blame.. Let this
be remembered when tho war debt presses
ucavily, and when man finds his la
"bor faxed, and his family deprived
of many of tho comforts of life. Tho fanat
ics of tho North and tho Sooth have been
aliko guilty. Let them both alike receive the
reprobation of the people who have suffered
so much on. their account. Boyond all ques
tion the fanatics of tho New England States
were tho Jirat to advocate a dissolution of the
Union; they were the first traitors, and hod
tho Government regarded tl-om as traitors
and treated thorn as such, no war would bavo
ensued. But they were permitted to go on in
thoir mad career, for a quarter of a century,
until finally they induced restless and evil
disposed Southern men to join them in a
crusade against tho Union. War ensued,
blood flowed, stealing commenced, and Npw
England men clapped their fat hands and,
laughed, as they witnessed father arrayed
against son, and brother against brother.—
Then it was that a strange inconsistency was
to bo seen. Mon who had for many years
been industrious in-obtaining signatures to
petitions to Congress, praying for a dissolu
tion of the Union, all at once changed front
and became rampant “ Union men 1” Nay,
move, they attempted to arraign ns “trai
tors” the very motf who had always—through
good and through ovil report—stood up as a
wall of brass in defence of the Union, tho
.Constitution and the laws. They attempted,-,
by the use of foul epithets, lies and tyranny,
to question tho loyalty of mon who had de
fended the Union whoa thoy, the" Abolition
ists, were petitioning fur its dissolution, stig
matizing tho flag as a “ flaunting lie,” and
furnishing tho traitor, Jons Bsows, with
muskets and pikes to assail both. I.t is well
then, wo repeat, to keep constantly in mind
the truth contained in the six lines we quote
from tho Now York Herald. The “ nigger
owners of tho South and the nigger worship
ers of tho North” were beyond all doubt of
question, tho men who plunged (ha country
into civil war. These two factions of fanat
its haveboaa as intimately allied, if not quite
so closely connected as the celebrated Siam
ese brothers. South Carolina has been the
home of one and Massachusetts of the other.
Bach has boon a source of infinite annoyance
to tho nation. Either was ready, on occa
sion, to oppose the General Government and
t) announce thoir resolve to destroy the
Union. Tho cry of the one was “no Union
with slaveholders,” that of tho other, “no
Union with Abolitionists.” Thoy manjiged
between them, after many years of dilligent
effort, to involve tho country in tho terrible
civil war thiough which wo have passed. It
.would be difficult to say which is most guilty,
which most deserving of the hatred of the
people. Had there been no Abolition party
theio woifld ImvoTocen no cause for .waif:, had
there been no advocates for tho doctrino of
secession in the South tho people of that sec
tion sought aud have found
peaceful redress for their greivanoos within
No one seems better to have understood
tho exact relationship of Massachusetts and
South Carolina to each other, and tho evil
tendencies of the pernicious doctrines of the
two extremes, than President Johnson. Iu
his celebrated speech, made in the Senate of
the United Stales, on the otb of February,
.1801, after theCottou States had seceded, be
gave utterance to the following bold and
truthful language. Wo quote from the Con
gressional CHobe of 1861, page 745:
“ I do not intend to be invidious,‘hut I
have sometimes' thought that it would bo a
comfort if Massachusetts and South Caroli
na could ho chained together as the Siamese
twins, separated from the continent, and ta
ken put to some remote and secluded part of
tho ocean, and there fast anchored, to be
washed by the waves, and to ha cooled by
tho-winda; and aftertheyhad been kept there
a sufficient length of time, the people of the
United States might entertain the proposi
tion of taking them back. They seem to
have been the sgareo of dissatisfaction pretty
much ever since they were in the Confeder
acy ; and some' experiment of this sort, I
think, would operate beneficially upon them."
It is a great pity the proposition was not
noted upon. The only improvement we could
have suggested would have been tho crowd
ing of ail tho radical Abolitionists in the
whole North within the bounds of Massachu
setts, and all the secessionists per se of tho
South within the limits of South Carolina.—
Then no man of sense would ever have voted
to allow them to be brought back to trouble
the country. Could this have been done it
would have saved us from all the horrors of
the war through which wo have passed.
Loot at tho difference of the oath of
Allegiance prescribed by President Johnson,
and that issued by his predecessor. Tho oho
presented iu the Amnesty, Proclamation of
Mr. Lincoln, compelled a penitent rebel to
swear to support “ all tho Proclamations
which had been or mightbereafter be issued"
—while' President Johnson, 1 revoking all
former regulations,’ says:
" Proof of loyalty must ho the taking and
subscribing to the following oath or evidence
to be. filed or one similar in purport and
meaning via-:
’ —. do solemnly swear, in presence
of Almighty God, that I will henceforth
faithfully support, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United Slates and all
laws made In oursuance thereto."
BC7” Goa. Phil Sheridan made tho follow
ing speech in response to a serenade in
Washington recently: “Gontlemefl; I am
Tory much obliged to you. My only regret
is that I have been go long in tho service that
I can’t make a speech. I am very much
obliged to you. Good night.” That is a
speech which a few thousand political spool
ers ought to‘be able to copy verbatim.

A STORY ABOUT AUDI fIIIINSON.
Mr. F. B. Carpenter, who spent several
1 months in tho White House,.while painting
hisiiicturo of the “ Emancipation Procloma.
tion' before tho Cabinet,” contributes to the
Independent a sketch of tho late President,
from which we make tho following extracts:
• “ Shortly afterward, ho told us this story
of “ Andy Johnson,” as ho was familiarly in
tho. habit of calling him. It Was a fow weeks
prior to tho Baltimore Convection, before it
was known that Gov. Johnson would bo the
nominee for tho Vice Presidency. Said ho,
“ T had a visit last night from Colonel Moo
dy, tho ‘ fighting Methodist parson,' as ho is
called in Tennessee. Ho is on his way to
tho Philadelphia Conference, and, being .in
Washington overnight, cause up to see.mo.
Ho told me this story Of Andy Johnson and
General Buell, which interested me intensely.
Colonel Moody was in. Nashville tho day that
it was reported that Buell-had,deoidod'to
evacuate the city. Tho rebels stronglf re
enforced were said to bo within two days’
march of tho oapitol. Of course the city .was
was greatlyexcited. -Said Moody, "1 wont
in search of-Johnson at the edge of tho even
ing, and found ,him at his office, olosoted with
two gentlemen, who wore walking the floor
with him, each side. As I entered they
retired, leaving me alone with Johnson, who
eamo up to rao manifesting intense-feeling,
and said, ‘ Moody, wo are sold out 1 Buell
is a traitor! Ho is going to evacuate tho
-city, and in forty-eight hours we shall all be
in the bands of tho rebels.' Tho- he’ com
menced pacing the floor again, twisting his
bands, and chafing like a caged tiger, utter
ly intensiblo to his friend’s entreaties to be
come calm. Suddenly ho. tamed, and said,
‘ Moody, can you ?' * That's my bnsi- i
ness, sir, ns a minister of tho gospel,' return* ,
ed the oolonel. ‘ Well, Moody, I wish you ,
would pray,' said Johnson ; and instantly
both wentdown upon their knees at opposite
sides of tho room. As the prayer became
fervent, Johnson began to respond in true ;
Methodise style. Presently he crawled over
on his hands and knees to Moody’s side, and 1
put his arm over him, manifesting the deep- i
est emotion. Closing the prayer with" a ]
hearty * Amend’ from each, they arose.— ,
Johnson took a long b-.oath, and said with
emphasis, '■ Moody, I feel bqfß»4 ,v Shortly
.afterward he asked, ‘ Will yoTstand by mo?’
‘ Certainly I will,'was tho answer. ‘Well,
Moody, 1 can depend upon yon ; you are ono
in a hundred thousand 1’ He then com- 1
monoed pacing the floor again. Suddenly ho I
wheeled, the current of his thought having ,
changed, and-said, ‘Oh ! Moody, 1 don’t want J
you to think I have become a religions man I
because I asked you to pray. I urn sorry to 1
say it, but I am not. and never have pre
tended to be, religious. No ono knows this •
bettor than you ; but, Moody, thero .is ono *
thing about it—l do believe in Almighty
God! And I behove also in the Bible, and !
I say I’ll bo damned if Nashville shall be |
surrendered!’" ;
Notwithstanding the above is published in
Beecher’s very “ loyal” Independent news
paper, and notwithstanding it is the story of
a " fighting Methodist pdrsort,” who was “on
bis way. to the Philadelphia conference,” wo
feel satisfied it is a monstrous lio. Wo are
aware that President Johnson is not a prC:
fessor of religion, but yet we hope ho is nut
the man to indulge in blasphemy immediate
ly after kneeling in prayer. We 'don't be
lieve there is a man living who could thus
impiously insult Almighty God. No, no,
Andrew Johnson may have his faults, but
ho is ndt a Uoathen, nor is ha the dreadfully
profane.man this “fighting Methodist par
son” would have us believe. We are also
loath to believe the statement that Mr. Lin
coln felt “ interested” at ,the recital of a sto
ry so infamously profane. It cannot bo pos
aible.that wickedness like this would interest
him or even ho tolerated by him. Ho could
not, wo foel satisfied, h&fir tho living God
thus insulted and defied, and feel “ intensely
interested.”
But this story of the “fighting Methodist
parson" is related by him, not in condemna
“ Andy Johnson," hut in commenda
tion.' Tho parson was tho friend of Johnson,
and he gives his words to prove how very
loyal and determined Johnson was. The
fact that Johnson could pray one minute and
curse and ask to be damned tho next, has tho
tacit approval of the clerical “ Colonel Moo
dy.” This is evidence of the deep degrada
tion of certain “ loyal" ministers, many of
whom, for tho last four years, have, done more
to spread infidelity and sin than any other
class of,men of the same number. They
have winked at and even .encouraged the
blackest crimes that have been perpetrated,
and, like Moody, have approved of. praying
and swearing in tbs same minute. They pros
tituted their.'holy calling to the vile purposes
of political'gamblers, and gloried in their in
famy, Moody, however, .it is evident, was
dealing in .falsehood when be put words into
Andrew Johnson’s meuth. IVo cannot,be
lieve, wo repeat, that tho President ever in
dulged in tho wickedness hero imputed to
him.
Equality. —Tho city of Philadelphia gaVe
about 12,000 abolition majority last Novem
ber, from which we might reasonably infer
that it goes to the whole length in favor of
African equality. But, by a singular incon
sistency, Us fastidious inhabitants refuse to
allow negroes to ride in the street cars 1
Now, if* the abolition of slavery’be rpally
worth the, tremendous sacrifice it has cost,
the black man should bo freely admitted to
all its benefits. It will not do to atop half
way. If the negroes are to contiape to be
socially prooribed by the brethren who have
so .warmly espoused their cause, they gain
nothing; because horo.they have not been
slaves, and it isnot freedom, but social equal
ity,.to which they, have been encouraged to
aspire. Many ludicrous scenes occur al
most daily in the “city of Brotherly Love."
The negroes force themselves into the cal’s;
and the white' folks kick them out. What
.we may look for, when they undertake to
claim their ” rights ” to tho ballot-box and
the jury-box, those comparatively trivial dis
turbances foreshadow.' The next thing to
be apprehended, will be a war against the
blacks, who, it must be confessed, are get
ting very bold and impertinent, under the
effect of the equality and miscegenation doc
trines that their abolition friends and broth
ers have been preaching. Should sqoh aca
tastrophe come, tho Easton Argus hope's the
Democrats won't interfere, but let Sambo and
his protended friends fight it.out.
Rewards and Punishment,— Joseph How
ard, the individual who forged the draft proc
lamation in 1864, and for tho innocent pub
lication of which tho World and Journal of
Commerce offices were seized by tho military
authorities and their issues temposarily sus
pended, has been appointed official reporter
at Gen. Pis’* headquarters.

he says enough to compel the American peo
ple, who, whatever their faults, have ft keen
souse of justice and a warm love of fair play,
to share id his indignation at the rank injus
tice done him by Stanton. All General
Sherman asked, it seems, was that his offi
cial-reports should bo given to the public.
These reports, it must ha i-otnomb'Crcd; wore
made before General Sherman kne w of Stan

conference with Johnston, and
gotten up with a view to defend his reputa

Sherman to have been as patriotic and pru

against him was true 5 but Stanton has bad
the eipulsito .meanness to withhold all the

Camp near Alexandria, Va., May 19
Dear Bowman : I am just arrived. .All
my army will bo in to-day.- I have been lost
to the world in the woods'for .soma, time
Yet oh arriving at the “ settlements” found
I have made quite a stir among the
people at homo, and that .the m'ust sinister
motives have been ascribed tonie.
I have made frequent official reports of my
official action in nil public matters, and all
of them have been carefully suppressed whilst
the mopt ridiculous nonsense has-been indus
triously spread abroad through all the news
papers. Well! you, know-what importance
i-attach tp such matters, and that I have
bee/n too long fighting with reel rebels .with
muskets in their hands to bo soared by more
non-combatants, -no .matter how high their
civil rank or station.
It is amusing to observe how brave and
firm some men become when aU danger is
past. I have noticed on fields of battle brave
men never insult the captured or mutilate
the dead ; but pOwards and-laggards always
fib. • 1 caonotmow recall the act, but Shaks
peave records, how poor Falstaff, the prince
of wits, rising from a figured
death, stabbed again the dead Percy anq car
ried the carcass aloft in triumph to prove his
valor. So now when the rebellion in our
land is dead, many JMstnifs appear to bran
dish the evidence of their valor and seek to
Win applause, and to appropriate honors for
deeds that never wore done.
As to myself, I itsk-no popularity, no re
ward; but I dure the War Department to
publish my official letters and reports. . /
assert that mg official reports h'uve been pur
posely suppressed, white all the power of the
press has been malignantly turned against
met ■
I do want peace and security,-and the re
turn to law and justice from Maine to the
llio Grande; and if it dues not exist "how
substantially, it is fur state" reasons beyond-
~MY uommjohonaiun. It inny bo thought
strange tnßf one who has no fame but us a
soldier ,should have been so careful to try to
restore the civil power of the government
and the peaceful jurisdiction of the federal
courts; lint it is difficult to discover in that
fact any Jastcause of offense to an enlight
ened and free people. But when men choose
to slander and injnro others,they can easily
invent the facts for the purpose when the
proposed victim is far away, engaged in pub
lic service of their own bidding. But |here
is.consolation in knowing that, though truth
lies in the bottom of a well, the Yankees have
perseverance enough to get to that bottom.
Yours, truly.

man minds his own business Hot him alone,
but if he crosses my path he must get out

Thd greafc auefieJs of the T.SO Loan must al

will show that a great warvdebt to individuals
has never before boon so promptly paid ; nfad
wo thipk-all will agree that Secretary McCul

has rhianifested, not only in securing tho
means, hut fot the financial skill ho has disr
played In so directing those vastreooints and
disbursements us dot for a moment to disturb
tho equilibrium of bommeree, ombarass indi
viduals, or in any .why lighten tlio money
market. It is doubtless true that tho Score
tary of the Treasury might have negotiated
the remainder of ills loans at six per cent, in
terest instead of 7.3 d, hat so much valuable
time would necessarily hayo been lost in pop
ularizing u new loan that the great object of
the Government, viz., an immediate supply
of money sufficient to pay all the debts inci
dent to the war, would have been defeated ;
and besides,,the difference of interest would
hot have boon equal to three days’ expenses.'
Tho policy may have looked “ penny wise,”
but tlio beat financial authorities, ns well as
common sense, pronounced it “ pound fool
ish.” As it is—and will be, no soldier .will
go homo without his’groonbaoks, and the float
debt in the shape of Vouchers requisitions,

The Second Series of the 7.30 turn was
exhausted on Saturday, May 13th. ; On Mon
day, the Secretary of tho'Tr.eftsu'ry authorized
Jar Cooke, the general Agent for C, S. Se
curities, to , receive subscriptions for 5230,-
000,000 of a Third Series, which is all that,
is.authorized by Congress, and is’without
dpubt, the. lust loan at this high late of inter
est that will be offered by the Government.
There is no change in the terms or condi
tions of the Third Lerios, except that the
Government reserves the right of paying in
terest at six per cent, in gold instead of sev
en and three tenths in currency—a right
which Would pre suppos e a return to specie
payments, and make six per cent, in gold
even bettor than the higher rata in currency
—tv consummation most devoutly to bo wish
ed. ■ . ,
The privilege of converting the notes into
5.20 six per cent, gold bonds at the end of
three 'years, or receiving payment at matur
ity, at the holder’s option is retained. 1
The first day of the Third Series opened
with a.subsoription within a fraction of five
millions, and the month of June will oertain

Pardon of the Codujid;a Countv Prison
ers—The following'.article, out from tl.o
Columbia .Democrat of last week, will explain
itself. It has caused intense gratification iu
Columbia county, and deservedly so for there
never was a greater outrage perpetrated upi n
any people than the punishment inflicted
upon these men :•
President Johnson has pardoned Jno,
-Rantz, Valentine Poll, Benjamin jCelley,
Joseph M, Vansickel, and John C. Lemmon,
the last of tha.4s men arrested
by the Abolitionists in the uomura&e “ Co
lumbia County Invasion." ■ They passed
through Bloomsbury on Wednesday of last
week, from Port Mifflin, to, their homos up
Pishing creek, where they will enjoy the So
ciety of friends and home Unmolested, nnd
live respected, as they ever have done,Hfchilst
their “ sneaking, lying, loyal accusers," will
And that a warm territory for them to inhab
it, and may, perhaps, bo compelled to flee
the country. . ■
The arrest and punishment of these iuen,''
and their colleagues, wss both illegal’ and
unjust—lor many of thorn were discharged
without hearing; and those imprisoned
wore convicted by perjured witnesses—and
hence, their pardon was demanded by every
consideration of .faglKe, humanity n nd
Christianity;
We then say, so far, bully for Johnson.
A Goon BEoiNNia.— President Johnson
has declined to bo.the recipient of a damage
Snd a pair of horses presented to him by some
citizens of New York. The motives of the
givers wars'undoubtedly proper enough, but
the President,.fram e,sense of duty to him
self and theoountry, declined the gift, though
acknowledging kindly and gratefully the
•compliment intended. This shows that Pres
ident Johnson nu'ans bo bo governed, by right
principle in the simplest mattors of official
conduct, and intends, to keep his high office
up to the standard of a pure nod simp’le dis
charge of duty, free from any influence but
that which conscience aud' reason ■ impose
upon him.
Litti.u John Cessna.— This renegade
Democrat has boon selected to represent the-
Abolitionists of Bedford county in the next
State Convention. - A number of'years ago
when Joseph Guffey was one of the ■Repre
sentatives from this county, Cessna, on some
question that arose, made a roaring speech
about Democracy and charged Guffey with a
want of zeal and fidelity for the parly. -
Guffey .rose and said—“ Mr. Spoakee, lit-'
tie John Cessna' brags loudly about his de
mocracy, but I have always noticed that the
cow that bawls most loudly, cares the least
for her calf 1" Guffey was right. The little
blatant beast of Bedford not only bawled
like a oow, but, when pressed by the ■ needs
of his situation, was like a oow, rotrominw
