Never was a fox more elo.-ely and per
-i-tently pitinuei’ liy a pnek of hungry
houmls than is Andrew Johnson pur
sued by the hounds and whiffets of the
Jaeohin faction. All the Radical Sena
tors (and these Senators are to lie the
jurors who are to decide his fate,i have
declared, (many of them in vehement
language,) that the ITesklon, “must he
impeached." All the Jacobin Stale Con
ventions, county, town and township
meetings that have been recently held,
make the same demand. Tire different
Radical State Legislatures, the hluck
and-tnn Southern “Conventions,'' the
Isiyai Thieves’ Leagues, and that body
of hummers and shysters called the ,
“Grand Army of tire Republic,“ join
in the cry lin'd tun e adopted resolutions
asking for the impeachment of the
President.
Never since the days of Adam and
Kve, lias such scoumlreiism been wit
nessed. It is as unfair as it is disgrace
ful, ami no man who has a spark of hon
or left can for a moment give counte
nance to these insane assaults upon the
President. It is persecution and noth
ing else, and its object is spoils. The
charges against the President are frivo
lous and weak, and such as would be
scouted out of any court of justice if
brought against the worst culprit in the
country. The principal charge is that
the President has attempted to dismiss
t com his cabinet the spy and shameless
dog, Stanton ; another charge I hatched
up by Ileust Butler,. is that the Presi
dent, during his western trip, year be
"re his), spot;,, disparagingly of the
Uuiiiii Congress and the baud of trai
tors who control its action.
We have been under the impression
that free speech in regard to our public
servants was one of the prerogatives we
enjoyed in this country. No party ev
er advocated this privilege more zeal
ously than tin* Republican parti - .
“ I’rec speech" they told is, must be
recognized and tolerated throughout the
land. Tliis was their profession before
they got into power; lan no sooner had
they the reins of government in their
hands than they repudiated this doc
trine, and pei scented every man who
dared to speak or write against the in
famous and treasonable dogma* of their
treasonable party. Lincoln, aided by
the wretch Stanton, east into prisons
and forts hundreds of thi- hc.-t men in
Hie country because they criticised or
condemned the plunderer- mnneeted
uilli Id- administration ; and now we
seethe President m ihe I'niled State
arraigned before u Star I handier court,
Charged m itli having spoken di-vespod
fully of the condemned Rump Congress!
Truly we are living in strange times,
when a notorious thief like lien Bmler
Is permitted to object to free speeeii, and
to make it criminal in the ITe-ideiii of
the United States to di—cut from ihe
treasonable doings of the Rump.
Is it not time for tile people to open
their eyes to the stupendous crime that
Stevens, Sumner, Butler A Co., are at
tempting to perpetrate? We toll them
tile liberties of this country are in dan
ger; the pillars of our government are
resting on a volcano, and if these fanat
ics and traitors are not curbed or put
down, if worse fate than Mexico awaits
us. Let the people lie warned iu time!

Henry Ward Beecher, at a recent meet
ing in New York, held in behalf of
Washington College, \ T irginia—tlie Col
lege of which General Lee is President
—delivered ns his opening sentence the
following scorching rebuke to the Radi
cals of Congress;
“Tile war 1h over. The country la unlu-tl
rho quO'iU'.n now u. wJiatHliallwo tlo will. i't-
Bhall the union of tins Indlvlaiblo nation coal
tinned imevored? Is It a policy, «•!,, uhrlstn, „
oi Btatestnnnmtealo introdnce or to manual a
rapellant luflueiidbs?’’
But will the t Ecve-ond Beecher, says
the Philadelphia Mercury , stand up to
his declaration, or will lie let himself
again be forced to take the back track,
ashedidwhen he “explained away” his
noble letter to the soldiers of the Cleve
land Convention ? We believe Brother
Beecher will lie firmer this time, and
not allow liis spinal column to be soft
ened, weakened, and finally broken
down by infidel pressure.
J6Sy When Abraham Lincoln violated
the Federal Constitution, assumed doubt
ful powers, usurped nndeiegatod authori
ty, and trampled ruthlessly upon the
rights of the people, the Rump Congress
passed an “ indemnity net,” to legalize
his doings, so fur as they could, and to
prevent those who had suffered from
bringing him to punishment under the
lawn. When, however, President John
son undertakes to secure a legal decision
upon an act passed by a partisan majori
ty to fetter him in his authority, the
Bump Congress undertakes to throw
him out of office. Such are different faces
of Radicalism under dilferent cireum
•Lances.

THE JACOBIN LEADERS.
lii his speech before the Jacobin State 1
Convention, at Philadelphia, week be
forelast, the valiant “ Colonel” McClure
attempted to hold up to ridicule the
“leaders of the Democratic party,” as
he called them. His speech must have
been exceedingly witty, lor wo notice
that he was constantly interrupted with
“shouts of laughter,” “cheers,” 44 pro
longed cheers and laughter,” during its
entire Beyond question it
was very witty, and no doubt a number
of buttons were lorn from their places
during its delivery.
| |And now as tho Chamborsbnrg “ Colo
nel” has named tho “leaders of the Dem
ocratic party,” it may not bo out of
place to give tho names of tho leaders
of the Jacobin or Negro party. TJicy
haw Fred Douglass inegro; and Char
les Sumner; they have A lock MeC’hiro
and Simon Cameron ; they have San
ford Conover i now in the penitentiary)
and Ben}. F. Hurler ; they have “Gov,”
Brownlowand dead-duek Forney; they
have “Judge” Underwood and the dog
Stanton; they have nine out of ten of
the inmates of every penitentiary, and
nine out of ten of those outside the peni
tentiary, but who should be insufr. In
deed, there is scarcely a noted villain
in our land who has. not been or is now
a F ader in tho Jacobin ranks. Accord
ing to HoracoGroeley, two-thirds of the
debt that is now upon tho people is sto
len money, and everybody knows that
this money was stolen by so-called
“ Irooly loll” fellows.
Let Colonel McClure and other slung
whaugors attempt to ridicule such tried
patriots and incorruptible statesmen as
Horatio Seymour, James Buchanan,
Judges Black and Woodward, and Wm.
B. Reed, if if gives them any pleasure,
lad when we compare these men with
the men of the Negro party, they ap
pearas giautslookiiigdown oiipigmies.
The least of them is a head and shoul
ders taller than any man of the mon
grel party. Tim “statesmen" of the
Negro party—the Sumners, Wilsons,
Neys, Chandlers, Wades mid others of
.like calibre--are the uiere-t puppets
that ever aped greatness. They are
fanatical gas-bags, full of wind and de
ception. Horatio Seymour’.- head cou
taiiis more brains, and his heart more
honesty, than nil the leaders of the Ne
gro party combined.
I We admire greatness in any man, be
his opinions wind they may, hut we
rannot countenance a fanatical fool-who
n ia. v he flippant in speeeh just as an in
mate of an insane asylum is flippant.

BONDS AND GREENBACKS.
The Republican State Conventions of
Ohio and Indiana passed resolutions de
manding that XJ. S. Bonds shall be paid
in greenbacks. This is Mr. Pendleton’s
doctrine, for which ho has received a
great deal of abuse from dead-duck
Forney nnd other Radical patriots
These “simon-pure” Radicals have
said that to pay the Ronds in green
backs is repudiation—that greenbacks
are “trash,” *fce. Now, everybody
knows that the people at large are re
quired to receive greenbacks in pay
ment for everything; the soldier, tho
soldier’s widow, the fanner, mechanic,
laborer and trader are now paid in that
currency—that “ trash,” to use Forney’s
language. Why should the Bondhold
er bo an exception? Why should he
alone be paid in gold ? These questions
every man—even (he least informed—
can ponder.
It will not do then for radical Bond
holders to say that Mr. Pendleton’s
proposition to pay the Bonds in green
backs is repudiation. The fact tjiat the
Radical Republican Slate Conventions
of Ohio and Indiana; speaking for their
party, adopted Mr. Pendleton’s idea, is
ominous, and should forever silence tho
men who have been assailing the great
Ohio statesman. More than this, Thud
Stevens and Beast Butler, reading the
“signs of tho times,” have also taken
bold ground in favor of the Pendleton
proposition, and both, in able argu
ments, deny that it is repudiation to
pay the U. y. Bonds in greenbacks ; on
the contrary, they declare it tho true
and only policy.
Forney nnd other slung-whangers,
therefore, who have boon throwing dirt
at Mr. Pendleton, will find themselves
in “a split slick” on tins question.—
When «o many of the prominent men
of their own party sympathize with
Mr. Pendleton’s views, it will be difli
cult to denounce (hem as repudiators
and at the same time to point to them
as “very loll” patriots. Truly, the
Radicals are getting into deep waters.
May they drown, every mother’s son of
them. •
A Chancik ix Ln-i:.—Tlio ups and
downs in this lift* are aptly illustrated in
the person of Hiram S. alias Ulysses S.
Grant, late shoe ami leather dealer at
Galena, Illinois, who now receives $30,-
000 a year salary. One of his head clerks
recently asked tho General to recom
mend bis salary to be increased to $1,400.
Grant refused. Grant’s little boy, ten
years old, rides to school every morning
on a pony, with an orderly on horseback
about a rod behind him. This is slyle
for a man who has a million superiors in
every gift ami acquirement, who have
to support their families on a thousand
dollars a year, and spare out of that a
part of the tax to,pay Grant his $30,000.

A TRUE RUT 9AI) I*l ('TITHE.
John Mullaly, tho bravo. fearless, tal
ented editor of tho New York Metropoli
tan i?ecord, one of the few who did not
“bowlhekuceto Baal” during the “time
that tried men’s souls,” a man who auf
f red for his principles, is at present on n
tmr of observation through tho South,
and every week then* apear in his paper
two or three most interesting letters from
his ready uml trnnehant pen. \\V al
ways read them with great pleasure, on
a'count of the fund of information and
l ruth they contain. Hisdcscriptlon of Co
luin bus, Georgia, ns it now stands, is pain
fully beautiful and interesting. The fol-
Jowingoxlracts wlllopen theoyes of some
people as to wimt was done in the South
(luring tit** late war:
Columbus was rapidly growing in im
portance as. a manufacturing town, for
which its remarkable natural advantages
afforded it great facilities. There were
several factories, which gave employment
to thousands of operatives, and its huge
warehouses wore filled with cotton.—
These warehouses had stored Fn them at
least sixty thousand bales, worth twrlvr,
mWiom a'/dollars. Wilson knew this. —
He knew also that this property, if'(de
stroyed, would be so much lost to the
whole country. He knew that a restored
Union would make it not only valuable
to the South, but to tho North. Ho was
also aware that this cotton, when dispos
ed of at the close of the war, would mute-,
rially assist in the restoration of the gen
eral .prosperity; and had he given tho
matter due reflection, he must have
known that a very largo proportion, if
not the greater part of it, would go to the
liquidation of debts due to Northern '
creditors. But what of all that? Of what
consequence was that to him ? The war
policy adopted was that of Attila and
Aluric. Grant and Sherman had studied
it to some purpose, and they found lb in
period harmony with their own brutal
and barbarous nature. Burn, destroy,
lay waste, spare not. We are fighting
now under the banner of Thud, {Stevens
and the Devil. The order hud gone forth,
ami {Stanton, titling like a demon
in the War Department, saw that it was
carried out to tin* letter. .McClellan and
Buell and Fllz John Tinier Juul an idea
that the war should oc <\iriiedon accord
ing to tho rules pu.-cni.ed and under
stood among Chi iMinii nations, and so
they were Hung i.'idt tin the house burn
ers ami spoon thieves doing duty under
“the best government the world ever
saw.” Wilson was of their stump—,ust
the man to carry intocflcct iheir devilish
purposes; and Columbus was now to be
taugtit the first lesson in loyalty ; she was
to understand that “ treason” was to be
made “ odious.”
There* weiesix Uriel; warehouses, large,
-ulMantml buildings, lull of cotton. It
is estimated that there were at least six
ty thousand bales in these buildings.—
Tills cotton was worth, as we have staled,
twfi,vf ,mim ions of dollars.
At the close of the war they would have
been sent north, with supplies from oth
er points, making a total of over fifty
millions, the great bulk of which would
have gone into the pockets of Northern
creditors. Let this fact be borne In mind
by the merchants and dealers of the
North. Let it be dinned into the ears of
the Northern business public ; and Jet it
not be forgotten in the approaching Pres
idential campaign, when the full account
of Iladicttl atrocities and deviltries will be
presented to the people.
The six brick warehouses wore given
to the flames, and in a few bourn nothing
remained put a pile of smoulderin'- and
blackened ruins. The restorers of the
Union did their work most effectually.
But they did not stop here. Treason had
not been .made sufficiently odious. There
were eight mauulaclories in other parts
ot the town, and us they were the prop
erty of “ rebels and traitors,” the torch
was again put into requisition. As in
the case of the cotton, they might be em
ployed in the payment of debts to North
ern creditors; but wiiat did Grant or
Sherman care for that? They cured as
little lor Northern men as they did for
Southern, and the sooner the people of
the whole country understand this the
belter it. will be lor them. The man who,
in the nineteenth century and in u coun-
Lry b ( >u>iing of its enlightenment, and
civilization, added the torch to tin- sword,
and permitted Uieirsoldiers to perpetrate
deeds at which humanity shudders—such
men would, with us litlio compunction,
as little feeling, pursue the course in the
North should occasion ever oiler. It
matters little to such men who are the
sullerers, so long us their hellish ambi
tion is gratified. Let Grant get it into
his head that he could, through such in
strumentalities, secure possesioniiof un
limited power over the whole country,
and if necessary he would Ly New York,
Cincinnati, and Chicago in ashes. The
work perlormed by his subordinate in
Columbus would be repealed in the
North, if necessary to further his inia
mous designs and to maintain the su
premacy of the hell-born faction that is
now conspiring against constitutional
freedom in the very Capitol of the He
public.

day week. After speaking two hours, he
closed with an impeachment of the Radi
cal policy in Congress as follows:
In conclusion, fellow citizens, while
the impeachment of President Johnson
closes my mouth upon the subject of his
impeachment, while delicacy and duty
forbid me lo speak upon that, my mouth
is not closed, and no considerations of
duly or delicacy will prevent me from
speaking of another impeachment, ami
before a tribunal inoro august than the
Senate. In the name of constitutional
liberty, in the name of our great ances
tors who laid the foundations of this Gov
ernment lo secure liberty for themselves
and for us, in the name of all who Jove
that liberty, who are ready to struggle
and if need bo lo die, rather than allow
It to bo overthrown ; in the name of the
coming generations, and of that race to
which we belong ami which has given to
the world all its civilizations, I do ar
raign and impeach tho Kadical policy of
the present Congress of high crimes and
misdemeanors. At the harof the Ameri
can people, in the presence of High Heav
en and before the civilized world, I im
i eacn it, iirst, asa crime against the laws
of nature which God the Almighty has
stamped upon the races of mankind, be
cause It attempts to force a political and
social and unmiturel equality between the
African and the Caucasian, between an ■
alien inferior and exotic race from the
tropics, with the highest type of the hu- '
man racein the home of the latter In the :
temperate zone. Second, I impeach it {
as a crime against civilization because it ,
would by force wrench the Government
out of the hands of the civilized white i
racein ten States of this Union, to place ■
it in the bauds of the half-civilized Afd- ;
can. Third, I impeach it as a crime '
against the constitution, because it tram
ples down the rights of the Stales to fix
for themselves the qualifications of their 1
own voters—a right without which a I
Slate ceases to bo republican at all. — j
Fourth, I impeach it as acrimo against
the Constitution and against national .
faith, because it annuls the pardons con
stitutionally granted to hundreds of
thousands of the most intelligent white
men of the South, and in open, palpable
violation of the Constitution disfranchises
them. Fifth, I Impeach it as a.crime
against the existence of ten States of the
Union and tho liberties of eight millions
of people, because in express terms itan
nulsall civil government by which alone
those liberties may be secured, and places i
them under an absolute military despot
ism. Sixth, I impeach it as a crime i
against humanity, lending to produce a
war of races to the utter destruction of
one or both, a result which cannot bo pre
vented except by a large standing army,
which neither our resources will bear
nor our liabilities long survive. Seventh,
I impeach it as an utter abandonment of
the purpose for which we fought and
mastered a rebellion. It tends to make
(also all tho promises and pledges nude
by the friends of the Government in its
(earful struggle to putdown the rebellion,
and it tends Co make true all tho prophe
cies and forebodings of its enemies.

Washington,©. C., March 21, 1803.
The Radical Bumpers seem to bo ready
to throw oil* the lust disguise. They
openly avow the determination to sap the
very foundations of our government, and
| to change it so that it can nojonger be
recognized ns a Republic.' The new re
construction bill reduces the President to
a mere nullity. It makes General Grant
absolute Dictator, with the most unlimi
ted powers over one half of the country,
and transfers ail authority over the re
maining portion to Congress. The Su
preme Court is deprived of all jurisdie
• lion, and nil the safeguards ami checks
: upon absolute power are to be removed.
; If (ire American people submit to these i
high handed usurpations, they may as I
well at. once bid a long farewell to a'Ue
publiean form of OovcM’imieni. The
shadow nay remain for a while, but all
the substance and vitality of our former
free Government will have departed,
perhaps inner to return. We aland on'
the brink of political ruin, and the integ
rity of the Republic ami the liberties of ■
the people can only be saved by a grand 1
uprising of the Northern masses at ihe ’
coming Presidential election.
Last week the Senate.of the I’nited i
States passed a bill exempting properly \
held and used for negro schools in the (
District of Columbia from local taxation. !
Similar property used for while schools is
taxed by the city authorities, and no i
measure has yet been introduced in eith
er branch of the Rump to exempt it from
luxation. It is not enough that the ne
gro should enjoy all the privileges en
joyed by white men. Ho must enjoy
more. Ills blackskin is so beautiful, Ills
thick lips are so captivating, Ills long
heels are so bewitching and his wooly
head so entrancing to the Radicals in
Congress, that they must, in thoproiouu
dity of their admiration, exempt him
from burdens which white people have
to bear.
11l my last letter I alluded to the peti
tion presented by Sumner to a abolish the
ollluu of President. Here is an extract
from it:
“Tile Presidency is a oopy of royalty.
It is an essentially unre'pub'lican institu
tion, for it exalts an individual in ruling
power over all the rest of the population!
It is a constantly menacing, growing
cause of danger to the republic, whose
eventual ruin it must inevitably occasion,
if it docs not cause such ruin by direct
violent subversion, it must ellect the
same through corruption ; for the Presi
dency is tlio source of universal corrup
tion.” In the opinion/of the petitioners
I lie earliest possible abolishment of the
Presidency is imperatively necessary to
secure the republic from tlio loss of ils
liberties through tile ascendency of the
executive power. To avoid these dan
gers they suggest that Congress proposes
an amendment to (he Constitution abol
ishing the Presidency and tranalerring
the executive functions to an administra
tive commission or Congressional minis
try, to be chosen by Congress from their
own body.
In the House on Tuesday u Jacobin
from Indiana, named Washburn, intro
duced a bill to repeal the act o( 1800
which reduces the number of judges on
Hie Supreme Bench to seven, by prohib
iting the President from tilling any va
cancies that' may happen thereon, until
tile number is reduced us above stated.
Tlio object of tills measure when it pass
ed was to prevent President Johnson
from lilling the vacancy occasioned by
the death of Judge Catron, and since that
Judge Wayne has died thus reducing tlio
number to eight. Washburn’s bill pro
poses to stop this reducing process, and
provides that the Court shall consist of
twelve Judges, four of whom, it is expect
ed, wilfbeappnlnted by Mr. Wade, if the
measure should become a law, thus giv
ing tlio Radicals seven out of the twelve
provided for. This is the latest attempt
to break down the power of the Court by
lining it with partisan Judges.- If, per
chance, Mr. Wade should become Presi
dent, there la no doubt that tins or sonic
kindred proposition would bo enacted.
On Friday the House took up tlio bill
formerly introduced by oneofydur Penn
sylvania Hampers, Broomall, to legialale
negro sailrage on all tlio States, under the
pretext of giving them tv “ Republican
form of government.” Broomall niadea
speech on the measure, and exhibited
about as much knowledge of the Consti
tution of tlio United Slates us John Co
. voile generally does of English grammar
Judge Woodward very properly ridiculed
the idea advanced by Mr. Broumall, mid
by referring to the history of Hie govern
ment from tlie adoption of tlio Constitu
tion, allowed, conclusively, that Congress
has no right to interfere at all with the
question ofsuftinte in the Stutsa. Later
in tlie afternoon old Thud Stevens’ views
on tlie subject were read from munnsenipt
by the Clerk. If this bill don't open tlie
eyes of your conservative Republicans
nothing on earth will. The design Is to
pass a general bill, conferring sulfragu
upon tlio negroes; in which event, you
needn’t trouble yourselves about strikin''
Hie word “ while” out ofyour state cuiistL
tn Lion.
It lias become startlingly true Unit one
inlamy follows close on tlie heels of an
other. The bill to prevent tlie Supreme
Court deciding the MeCurdlecaso and nil
similar cases, was smuggled through
both Houses last week ; but so fur as the
McCardle case isconcerned will fall of Us
object, as Hie .Supreme Court will most
probably pronounce Us deolsslon on Mon
day, and the nut will not by Unit time
become a law. With tlie reconstruction
measures pronounced unconstitutional
the Radical Rumpers will not have a
single prop left to sustain them. If they
then continue their persecution of Presi
dent Johnson, tlie sworn defender of tile
Constitution, with his olllcial actions
sustained by tlie highest Judicial authori
ty in tlie land, they will richly merit and
receive tlie scorn and condemnation of
tlie world.
X begin to think tiiat the impeachment
and disgraceful expulsion oftlie President
fioni olliee_ is not going to be done up
quite ns quickly ns many imagined at the
start. Stevens will llnd some diilicultv
in whipping his partisan job through the
Senate with tiio same haste lie spurred it
through the House. There must bo some
formality of trial- some little show of
fairness and impartiality, just for decen
cy’s sake. President Johnson will bodo
fended by tlio linest legal ability of
the country; and the Radical man
agers will not succeed in getting the ense
closed before it shall have been demon
strated to the country, that this is tlio
worst and the meanest act the Republi
can party has been engaged In-Shame
less os have been us many violations of
the Constitution and its consequent—
perjury. Pending the trial, the material
interests of the Country will have to
shift for themselvs, for Congress will en
gage in no legislation during the im
peachment.
J t seems that Mr. Chase Is likely to in
cur the serious displeasure of his party
by any manifestations of fairness in tlie
trial of President Johnson. His simply
reminding them’of the Judicial character
of tlie proceeding raised a perfect hubbub
around bis cars. The idea that the Rad
ical Rumpers should dream of such a
thing as impartial administration of Jus
tice, was too much for their nerves.—
They have made up their minde to listen
to no more such nonsense.
. Th e counsel for tlio President will put
in their answer on Monday, when
lour or live days will probably bo given
to tlio managers to put in their replica
tion ; after which the ease will be re''ti
larly opened. It is supposed that Beast
Butler will make the opening argument
in beha’fof the managers, and that Itfr.
Evarts will take the lead on behalf of the
President.
ItSS- A parallel tpMr. Dickens’ account of
tho den of thioves, in “Oliver Twist "
has.been found in New York oily, where
tlie police recently broke up a gang of
thieves, consisting of two men, two wo
men and nine boys, wlio had their meet
ing place in Crosby street. Hero tlie lead
er, named Frank Oliver, marshalled his
followers every morning, and assigned
them each a district in which to ply their
vocation. Each morning the newspapers
were read to ascertain if any large meet
ings were to bo held, and if so, a special
force was despatched to tlie place. The
plunder, consisling of jewelry and every
kink of wearing, apparel, was banded
over to Oliver, who paid a certain per
cent, to the operators for their services
Below we publish the official result ot
our Borough election. It will be seen
that the Democratic candidate for Chief
Burgess carried the Borough by the un
precedented majority of 209 I Of course
many Republicans voted for him, which
Is an evidence of returning good sense.—
It will be seen also that we have elected
every Borough officer by handsome ma
jorites, and came within 15 votes of el
ecting a Councilman in the West Ward,
which has heretofore been, cohsldered
the Republican strong-hold. Another
effort and the AVcst Ward will bo ours.
All in all, notwithstanding wo had a

we have achieved a glorious triumph,
ami old Carlisle may bo sot down as Do

—This aged and rauch-respooted citizen,
died at Ids residence, in this borough, on
the 17th inat;, aged 82 years. Mr. Piper
belonged to a family of note and promi
nence in the history of Pennsylvania.—
The family numbered six brothers, who
gave their name to the locality In which
several of them lived, and where a long
lino of descendants continue to live, in
Bedford county. The deceased was for
many years connected with our State
government, iris connection with it com
mencing "while the seat of government
was at Lancaster, and continuing many
years after its removal to Harrisburg.—
He removed to Carlisle in 1831. In the
war of 1812 ho promptly offered his serv
ices, and took command of a company of
volunteers, which marched to the defense
of Baltimore. His eldest brother, Gen.
Wm. Piper, represented Bedford county
for many years in the State Legislature,
and also served two terms in Congress
during the administration of President
James Madison,-which he faithfully sup
ported in all its war measures against
Great Britain. The deceased was distin
guished throughout his long life for the
probity and excellence of his personal
character, and for the sincere and genial
traits which ever secure the warmest at
tachment of friends. Giving to the com
munity the precious example of a blame
less personal and religious life, he has
passed away in agood old age, 11 gathered
to his fathers” like a shock of obrri ripe
for the harvest.
A Xav (JiiUßCir. The Central Penn
sylvania Conference of the Evangelical
Association—the so-called Albrights—at
Us last session, held in Lewisburg, Union
county, Pa., appointed Rev. J. G. M.
Swenglo missionary to Carlisle. We
learn that Rev. Sweugle comes to his
new field of labor well recommended,
and no doubt will be successful in his
high calling. The services of the mis
sion society are now held in the ohuroli
room, in Rheem’s Hall, every Sabbath
at 11 o’clock, A. XI. and 7 P. M. The
members of this denomination, living in
and about town, .have long since felt the
need of a church in which to worship
the God of their fathers ; and we rejoice
to learn that earnest measures are being
employed to erect a church edifice which
will reflect honor upon the denomina
tion as well ns upon our ancient borough.
A piece of ground has been purchased in
West Loutherstreet, adjoining the Union
engine house, for $1,500 ;-tho lot is said to
bo largo enough for a spacious church and
parsonage; A subscription was put into
■circulation a few days ago which was
headed by David Kutz and Jacob Kutz
for $l,OOO each. The friends of the en
terprise are sanguine of success, and no
doubt a call will be made upon our be
nevolent citizens to assist this feeble yet
flourishing mission society in their
praiseworthy undertaking.

Spring.— What glorious weather \n
are having 1 How it sends the Wood
bounding through the arteries! u, w
it brings bloom to the cheek and warnill,
to the heart I _ Everything—human, an
imal and vegetable—seems to bo awa
king new life. Staid and sober people
aio apt to think it soft poetic nonsense
to speak about the lambs skipping over
the green fields in spring time—but in
our humble judgment the lambs can't
help it; and if they could help it, it
would bo all the worse for the lambs.-
Not only lambs, but animals of a larger
growth feel like taking to the fields
and woods, after being housed up fur
Weary winter months. There is a bon
.ison in this calm March air which is
shed on tho bare trees and the withered
grass and breathes into them tho breath
of new, green life. There is a voice of
praise in the song of the red-breast, ns
ho sits on the topmost branch of the
leafless poplar that stands beside the
house door. The passion of tho woods
is already stealing from one little heart
to another, and myriads of littlo'livos
are drinking in tho spirit of the season.
Frosty old winter will no doubt try his
very best to “linger in the lap of
Spring,” aided "by keen winds and fly
ing snow-squalls. But away with win
try images 1 Let winter do his beat,
there will be South winds, and warm
sunny showers, and a few such days
will bring leaves and flowers.
The Secret. —“X noticed,” said the
great philosopher, Franklin, “a mechan
ic among a number of others, at work on
a house, erecting but a little way from
my otlicc, who always appeared to bo in
a merry humor, who had a kind and
cheerful smile for every one he met.—
Let the day be ever so cold, gloomy or
sunless, a happy smile danced like a sun
beam on his cheerful countenance. Meet
ing him, one morning, I asked him to
tell mo the secret of his constant happy
flow of spirits. ‘No secret, doctor,' he
replied. ‘ I have got one of the best of
wives, and when I go to work she always
lias a kind word of encougragemeut for
me, and when I go home she meets me
with a smile and a kiss, and then tea is
sure to be ready, and she has done so
many little things to please me, that I
cannot find it in my heart to speak an
unkind word to anybody.’ What in
fluence, then, has womeu-over the heart
of man to soften it and make it the foun
tain of cheerful and pure emotion ? Speak
gently, then ; greeting after the toils of
tile day are over costs nothing, and goes
fur toward making home happy and
peaceful.
The Bunyan Tableaux —The mag
nificent panorama of the leading inci
dentsof Banyan's “ Pilgrim’s Progress,”
will be exhibited at Rheem’s Hall, for e
brief season, opening on Thursday even
ing, 26th Inst. Tile conception of the sub
lime allegory has been admirably carried
out in the designs as well as in the artis
tic execution of this remarkable painting,
which is the joint production of ten of
our most prominent artists, including
such names as Church, Cropsey, Kylo,
Dallas, and Darley. “ The River of the
Water of Life," the “ Land of Beulah,"
and the " Arrival at the Gates of. the Ce

most exquisite Imagery of imagination,
combined with genius and taste.
Tim Band.— The Carlisle Band lias
become one of the institutions of our
town. We have heard them play ad
mirably on several-recent occasions, and
have about made up our mind that they
cannot be excelled by any country
band in the State. There is a great deal
of first-class musical talent among the
gentlemen composing the band, and we
hope to see it brought out to its fullest
capacity by liberal encouragement
of our citizens.
Election of a Professor.—At a late
meeting of the Trustees of Mlama Uni
versity, at Oxford, Ohio, our townsman,
the Rev. A. D. Hepburn, was unani
mously elected Professor of Logic, and
the English Language and Literature. —
Mr. H. was fpr several years a Professor
of the University of North Carolina, is a
ripe scholar and Christian gentleman,
and will fill the chair allotted to him
with credit to himself and advantage to
the institution.
Wild Pigeons.—Early on Tuesday
morning large numbers of wild pigeons
were seeen passing over town, which at
once threw our sportsmen into aflutter.—
Pursuit was given, hut as the pigeons
travel somewhat faster than the fiery
steeds of our Carlisle liveries, we do not
suppose that many were captured, •
No Water.—The dwellers ip the
South and South-east part of opr
Borough have been ou short allowance of
water for the last few days on account of
two bursts in the main pipe in East
Pomfret street.
Bdtteb was only fifty cents per pound
)n our market yesterday. ' r
