EDITORS :—You will permit an humble - writer to intrude a little I upon your columns in timeslike these with ,a plain, unvarnished, though sad tale. To-dayL---Saturday, April 18 this quiet villiage, New Berlin, Union county, Pa., was throWn into' violent confusion by an incident which reminded one more of the days of the Spanish Inquisition than acts I to be expected in a land where en lightenment and civilization, fostered by the most extensive freedom and I justice, are said to have lull sway.— Your communicant was quietly at- I tending to his own business, when suddenly he heard a r , tremendens noise. I looked _around to See whence it came, and to ascertain _its ; cause. I had heard;-apparently, soy en.oreight cracks, like pistol discharg es, and then noticed men, women and children in the greatest consternation and fright rushing , .olit.'of the three ; doors of the large German Reformed ; and Lutheran church in the centre of our town. Although having been a. mid-excited crowds before, I, never witnessed anything, -to approach, much leas equaVit-f''Tile; bell.' a few ; moments before had apprised me of a funeral gathering there. Now, 11 thought perhaps the galleries had giv en way with the crowd i but, having hurried up towards the plaice, I learn- ; ed.from'the first I mit :that what I heard were actually ?istol shots, fired in the inner sanctuary, before the ve- I ry altar, where "peace on earth and good will toward men" has been pre- claimed hundreds of times. I made it mybusiness to inquire into the,par- I Oculars from eye witnesses, who de- ; velope the following facts: I Seine time 'ago—say four or five; months—a certain James Hummel, of ; Snyder -co., whose sister's, . last re-; mains were interred here to.day,- de- I sorted from the army. And now,_sev eral days ago, certain Sergeant Geb- ' hart, formerly from Centre county, who styles himaelf a member of the U. S. Provost Guard, came to the I neighborhood,-alleging that it was his business to arrest deserters and I send them to camp. -It seems be knew that Huitimel would nttend - a funeral ; at this place to-day, and thought this would-be a, nice „-place to sho,w his prowess and skill in napping deser• tors. -Ile followed - the proceSsidn to the burying:place and- from tbare to the church. While in the church, he . agairs. bad 'ffurnmel pointed out to ; an sserted to those-w i nd Viola! in the secret with'hitn - that here was the place to take him. They tried to dissuade him, but of no avail; This was. tte: - place -to make- - ;a: chivalric dash. Just before the sermon Corn. menced;lfe -walked up' to 'Hurailiel, now sitting quietly in his pew to do the last pious honors to ddeadsister, and presented a Cbtt's revolver to his breast, mumbling something suppos ed to have been, "You are my prison er." Hunimel drew a Sharpe's four shooter from his- pocket. Meantime Gebhart snapped his cap, which burst to no effect. Rummel then shot Geb hart in the breast. Gebhart -snapp ed his,next cap to no effect. After that, each discharged his remaining 'balls; also a Mr. Smith, assistant to Gebhart, discharged ono ball. At I this- juncture the excitement had he come -, intense, and - the shrieks and, cries Of.unprotected and innocent fe males and children were almost heart rending. Both Ilummel and Gebhart now left the church. Hummel went to his home, whither two physicians soon followed him, and found him Ihaving two wounds—one through the lungs, supposed to be mortal, and an other;: slight; in the, Arm. . ; Gebhart fled through - a by w ay -to Wards the Mountain, and was discovered a while after, two miles from town. Some men, who seem to be rather friendly to those who deal in cold steel and tildod, brought him back.te town and, I am told, almost made a demi-god of him. I presume if he were black they would have called him the next hero to John Brown. Re showed three bullet holes in his overcoat, Which, on account of being thickly batted„so broke the effectiveness of l the . balls from Hummel's, inferior I . , . weapon as to do him little or no irr. cblitkit ry. Whilst I cannot help most' un qualifiedly condemning Gebhart for his rash and foolhardy way of execut• ing his official duty—for which, so fir as I know,-nobody has more than his own word, showing neither warrant nor order for such ,- duty--I do not mean to defend - Huminel. In my humble opinion there is nothing to justify any man,. who is not really , half a devil., to•go into h church or anywhere where there is a crowd' of innocent; people to &evoke such an affray. If Gebtiart knew he could not arrest Hummel without force, why did he not attempt it outdoors, where he has had the chance for months ? Why attack'the - peace and harmony of a worshipping congregation ? For tunately the one of kalls hit-no of theerowd. 'There must, certainly , ho'a proper or an improper way fOr au officer to discharge his duty. If any officer in England would perpe. trate such an outrage, he would be degraded, perhaps„ -shot. Our fore fathers rebelled against the tyranni cal oppression ea. foreign power; but irsuch things can pass with the con nivance of our /present government, the time seems not far distant when we should wish for even the rule of a George 111. But I must forbear writ ing any more, and subscribe myself a lover of JUSTICE. We take from a- French paper, is Temps, the narrative of an incident, which adds one more proof to the many already given of the intelli gence and bravery of the Parisian populace A few evenings ago, says the Temp:, an omnibus 'driver of the Or. leans Railway, named Doundtitier, was proceeding to his morning's work. On crossing the Boulevart del Hopi tai near the Marche awn Chevaux, (horse market,) he perceived a shin ing object at his feet. Thinking to have made some lucky discovery, he tent dovim and found it was the blade of a knife, passed through the bars of one of those iron doors or gra tings inserted in the pavement, in different parts of the suburbs of Par iis, with the intention' of throtving a glimmer of light into some -of the more gloomy passaged of the cata combs: Bending down, ho heard the voice , ,oEsome-one---i-neide; imploring succor. Hurrying immediately to the nearest public house, where ho found some workmen, he returned with them to the grating, forced . it open . with the aid, of a crow-bar. A moving spectacle presented itself to their gaze, A wide chaem, 'Whose depths was buried iri darkness, yawn. ed before them. At the opening was the man whO implored assistance, clinging to the side of the wall with bleeding hands, his features convuls ed with terror. They seized him by the arms, and lifted him out, but no sooner was the unfortunate being safe, than ho, bent'down over the aperture as if trying to perceive some object in the pit. ith that marvellous instinct that at times characterizes the" Parisian populace, it was'at once understood that another sufferer, at a depth which the obscurity concealed, yet remain. ed to be delivered. Cords were brought, and another - unfortunate hu man being, exhausted even more than the first, was brought to light. After reeovering a little, these men narra. tell, that, they, were journeying stone cutters. 'They had entered the catacombs on Monday, at about twelve o'clock in the morning, by the entrance in the rue de Chateau des Rentiers, 'for the pnrpose of executing a piece of work underground. Theirlamp went 'out, and . they: bad . omitted to furnish themselves with matches. Io trying to retrace -their steps, they had erred still farther in that endlesti labyrinth. They went on at hap-hazard till halt past seven the next morning. They then perceived a faint ray of light glimmering through the trap-door above mentioned. Though it was placed -seventy feet above the ground, the workman, who• had managed - to preserve the greatest coolness and strength, managed, by taking advan sage of small projections in the side of the wall, and by "cutting out pie ces of mortar with his - knife, to ob tain a hold for the introduction of his fingers arid nails, to reach the top. After a" gallant effort, he at last- attained the sunitnit, while`his cemrade, unable to follow, was lying hergjess on - the ground beneath.— Once the're, he tried vainly tO raise the iron grating-with his knife; this failing, he passed the blade through the opening, turning it in his hand, hoping that some one, would be at. tracted by ,its gleaming. It was :by this signal that he saved his own and his comrade's life. To conclude, Douneutier, the omnibus driver, whose zealous effort had been crowned' with success,, and who had even risked his life in his anxiety to succor them, re fused to give hie name to the men whose lives be had saved. It was af terwards given by his employer. ( 1 " A little boundary war has broken out between California and HoneY Lake VEilley.

The First Great Negro The RichmoAExaMiner gives the following lauWithfe discription of the first great-battle to be fought, it Is supposed abmitthe middle of June, by the colored ; army .now being re cruited to supely, the places of the 300,000 white, tiotdiers_ whose term of service will in May :-- "The fate of the•ne,gro ' of the white population at the South, and of the northern army -reepectiv_ely r ' will -be decided in a brief .contest, WhiCh will occur about the raidcile of next June, and which we will describe as grave ly and sucei n tly possible`." . On the first fifty -thousand negroes, who—bave been previously drilled in variotts camps of instrue. tion, will be debarked at*Acquia creek. Pugnacious Joseph Hooker, faaraing at the mouth from= long delay, will or ganize them into brigades and divis ions with the velocity of frienzied im patience. But it will require six weeks of incessant toil to perform this simple feat. It is at last accomplish ed. The pontoons are laid safely and crossed without opposition. To pre vent accident the Grand Colored Di yision is put in the van, Greely its commander, remains -at Aequia creek 'with a powerful glass,' after the man ner of Burnside. The skirmishers of the Grand Colored Division are thrown out. They deploy. ' , The voice of any overseer calling hogs is heard in a distant field. They rally on the reserve. No rebels be ing visible, they are again thrown forward. They fire at nothing, fifty feet in the air, and hit it every time. The rebels being thus driven to their earthworks, the Grand Colcired Di vision advances the pas de charge, to storm the enemy's position .and to 'carry the crest' at all hazards. Of a sudden, the A.rtillery of A. P. Hill's command .belches forth a hurricane of shell and shrapnel. There is a ris ing of wool, as- of quills upon the fretful porcupine, under the caps of dusky, brigadiers and sooty major generals; there is a simultaneous ef fusion ofreelilluous perspiration from fifty thousand tarry hides; there is a display of ivory like fifty- thousand flashes of lightning; fifty thousand pairs of charcoal knees are •knocking together, and one hundred thousand eyeballs are 'rolling ; . madly in their sockets, like so many drunken arid distracted moonSdancing in an -ebon sky ; the: Grand Cei , 3red Division trembles like a mighty pointer dog on an icy pavement—there is a uni versal squall, as, if all. Africa bad been kicked.upon the shins, and . at the self same moment a seattering,as if all the blackbirds, crows and buzzards in creation had ti ken wings at once. To a man, the northern army lies prostrate in the field, asphyxiated by the, insufferable ! odor bequeathed to tho atmosphere by the dark, depart ed host. ; For a like cause, the rebel army is in full retreat to Richmond.

"I shall never lorget"- writes a cor respondent of the Agriculturist, "an incident of my childhood by which I was taught to be careful not to wound the feelings of the unfortunate. A number of us sehbol boys were playing by the road side on Saturday after noon, when the' stage coach droveup to a neighboring tavern and the pas sengers alighted. As usual we 'gath ered around it to' ohserye them. A. mong the number was an elderly man with a cane, who got out with much difficulty, and'When on the ground he walked with the most curious con tortions. His feet turned one way, his knees another arid his whPle body looked as though the different mem bers were independent of it and each other, and every one was making motions to suit itself. I unthinking. ly shouted "look at old rattle bones!" and the other boys took up the cry with mocking laUghter ' • while the poor man turned his, head with an, expression of pain which I never can forget. Sun then to my surprise and horror; my fattier came around the corner and immediately stepping up to the stranger,• shook his hands warm ly assisted him,to walk to our house, which was but at a little distance. I could enjoy no more play that after. noon and when tea time came, I would gladly have hid myself, but knew that would in vain, and so tremblingly went into the sitting room. To my great relief, the strang. or did not recognize me, but remark ed pleasantly to my father as he in troduced me, "such a fine boy was surely worth saving." How the words cut me to the heart. My fath er had often told me the story of a friend who had plunged into the riv er to save me as I• was drowning while an infant, and, who in conse quence of a'cold then taken, had been crippled by inflammatory rheuma tism ; and this was the man whom .I had made a butt of ridicule, and a laughinestoek for my companions,— I tell you, boys and, girls, I would give many dollars to have the memory of that event taken away. .If . eVer you are tempted RS I was, remetaber that while no good can come ofsport whereby "the feelings of others, are wounded, yoitinair be laying,. up for yourselves painful recollections that will itot feave ou for a lifetime? r- a, uric, islet. 1. Bodily Carriage. k, Instead of giving all sorts of rules about turning out the toes, and straightening up the body, and hold ing the shoulders back; all of which are impracticable to many, because soon forgotten, or productive of a feeling of awkwardness and discom fort which procures a willing omis sion, all that is necessary to secure the object is to hold up - the head and move on, letting the toes and should ers take care of 'themselves. Walk with the chin but slightly above a horizontal line, or with your eye di rected to things a little higher than your - own head. In this way you walk properly, .pleasurably,., and without any feeling of restraint or awkwardness: . If any one wishes to brii aided Securingthia habitual car riage of the body, accustom your selves to carry your hands behind you, one hand grasping the opposite wrist. Englishmen are admired the world over for their full chests and broad shoulders', and, sturdy frames, and manly bearing. This position of the body is. a, favorite with them, in the simple promenade in the garden or gallery, in attending the ladies along a crowded street, or in public worship. A single rule, well attend ed to in this connection, would be of incalculable value to multitudes—use chairs with old fashioned straight backs, a little inclining backwards, And sit-with the lower portion of the body close against the back of the chair at the seat; any one who tries it will observe in a moment a grate ful support to the whole spine. And we see no reason why children should not be taught- from the beginning to write and sew and.knit in a position requiring the lower portion of the body and the back and the shoulders to touch the back of the chair at the same time. A very common position in sitting, especially among men, is with a space of several inches between the chair back and the lower portion of the spine, giving the body the shape of a hoop ; it is the instantane ous, instinctive and almost universal position assumed by any consump tive on sitting down, unless contract ed by an effort of the will ; hence par etits should regard such a position, in their children with apprehension; and should rectify it at once.—Hall's journal of Health.

On lgonday a week, Judge Pear son,deliVered the following charge to the Grand. Jury. Gentlemen of the Grand Jury : The exigency of the times, and my great anxiety to benefit the country and shelter the conimunity from impending evil, must be my apology for traveling out of the ordinary description of crimes and misde meanors, and calling your attention, and through you that;of the people at large, to the datigcr , of, violating certain recently enacted 'taws of Congress, passed for the purpose of 'enabling the Government to carry on.successfully the war for national existence,in which we are now unfortunately involved. To'meet the immense demands on the pablie'Areasury, and raise the ne cessary fundstsimaintain the national credit, heavy taxes op the. busineee aud certain descriptions of tiropeity have been unposed by Cong - ress. 'rhe measure was indispensa ble, without which, or some one of kindred character,the wheels of Government would come to a dead stand. Although this is well known to every person of ordinary in telligen ce,yet certain designing for unpatriotic and sinister purposes, have raised a public clamor against the tux with the view of rendering it unpopular, and in many, parts of the country the people are nrged - to elude its assessment and resist its 'collection. In a country professing to be governed by laws,every evasion• of their obligation or resistance to their enforce ment is a violation of the highest moral duty of the citizen. His only protection for life, liberty, or property, is to be found in the law, and he can with no propriety claim its shelter, if he contemnsa its sanc tions, or evades its responsibilities. These tax laws do not fall upon the real property of the country. Congress considered that sufficiently burdened by the State, county, and municipal taxes, but they imposed it . on the business of the dealer, the manufac turer, and the professional man, and more especially on incomes, salaries, monies at interest, stocks, and obligations of various kinds and forms. The burden should be met cheerfully and the tax paid honestly, for never had this country greater neces sity for the aid of the citizen in return for the protection which he has received. It is not only the moral and legal duty to which I desire to call your attention, but also to apprise you that the law con tains severe legal sanctions, aud imposes heavy penalties against those who make false statements, or resist its execution. The law providing for a system of con scription, to fill the ranks of the army, has been the subject of severe animadversion. This opposition, doubtless, arises in part from an honest difference of opinion among our citizens as to the best method of effect ing the object, but ie pressed mainly by those who, out of disaffection to the go vernment, or sympathy with the rebellion, are opposed to any system which would strengthen the military force of the coun try. - The act provides for enrolling the whole militia of the. United States, and exacts service from all able-bolied men between the ages of twenty and forty-five, with a very- few exceptions. They are divided into two classes : those between the ages of twenty and thirty-five form the first, and those above thirty-five, the second class. The requisite draft is •to be made, la the first place, from the younger class, until.; it is exhausted,after which the elder may be called into service. The failure to serve in person or by a substitute will probably subject the delinquent to a penalty of three hundred dollars. The act provides severe penalties against any resistance to the draft, or counseling, or advising any one to resist it, or not to appear at the place of rendezvous, or perform military duty, and punishes with severity any assault on the officers engaged in making it or ob structing them in the performauce of their duty. The same statute also imposes a heavy fine, and.a long term of imprison ment ou any one who shall procure, entice, or counsel a soldier in the service of the United to desert, or who shall harbor, con ceal, or, give employment to a deserter, or aid him to escape from the service, know ing him to be sucb,and you will understand that this applies even to the nearest rela tive harboring and concealing a deserter, unless it might be to the case of a wife' concealing her husband ; so that it is the bounden duty of every one knowinethat a deserter is on or about their premises to give immediate notice thereof to some pro vost marshal, or other officer of the United States. Every citizen must bear in mind, that combinations formed to resist the law are of themselves high crimes, and those so uniting or combining, may, even %%ith out the commission of any overt act, be indicted for a conspiracy, - and if resistance by force occirs,the parties so resisting are guilty of high treason. You are doubtless aware that one branch of the definitLin of ; high treason,as deplared in the federal constitution,consists in levying war against the United States. And Judge Grier has decided, in the circuit court, in strict con formity with the decisions of nearly ail of the United States Supreme Judges, that, le'vying war against the United States is not necessarily to be judged of alone by the number and array of troops, but there must be a conspiracy to re sist by force and an actual resistance by force of arms, or intimidation by numbers. The conspiracy, and the insur rection connected with it, must be to ef fect something of a public'nature, to over throw the government, or to nullify some laws of the United States, and totally lo hinder its execution, or compel its repeal. Another learned judge, in conformity wits all the autb orities,deciaree that levying war embraces not merely the act of formal or declared war, but any combination forci bly to prevent or oppose the enforcement of any provision of the constitution, or of a public statute, if accompanied or fol. lowed by an act of forcible opposition in pursuance of such combination.' Not only those who use the force are guilty of high treason, but every one who counsels or encourages the at hedonics' principal traitors; for in treason all are principals. Thiacrioie, by the laws of the United States, is very properly punished with death, for it is the highest offence which any citizen can commit against the govern ment of his. country—:the endeaver to de stroy it. The public speakers; - aud editors or writers fee newspapers,,'who so flippant ly advide resistance to - th haws, can cer tainly but little reflect oil their actions.— Should thole who they aadress, bike: them it their word and resort to forcible resist ance; not only would the advised, bat the Xebailint A FAMILY PAPER FORTOWN AND COUNTRY, IS PRINTED AND PUBLISEED WEEKLY By Wes.

If the government has in times past' lightly overlooked such ravinge, it was be cause it felt strong and secure, but at a time like this, when the struggle is for na tional existence, words become things, and evil counsel cannot be lightly overlooked, or mildly dealt with, and should it lead to un lawful resistance, will probably be punish ed in proportion to its demerits. It sometimes happens that Provost Mar shals or their guards, meet witnesistence when endeavoring to compel drafted mili tianieu or deserters from the army to at tend at the places of rendezvous. Those making it must bear in mind that their resistance is unlawful. The officer or his guard come under the shelter of legal au thority. If those making the -resistance are killed, it is justifiable homicide. If the officer, or any aiding him, ere slain, it is userder in all concerned in. =king the opposition.. - • - It is very confidently asserted that sod eties have been funned iu an adjoining coun ty, the direct nature and object of which is resistance to the national laws, and it is also intimated that they are in part coin poked of citizens of -Lebanon county. If any of our citizens have been so imprudent as to connect themselves with such insti tutions, we counsel and urge them to sever the connection without •delay, else they may find themselves involved in that which may lead to their ruin. Every combina tion of men, for any unlawful purpose, is a conspiracy, and may subject the conspira tor to imprisonment iu the penitentiary. It is an offence against the laws of the com monwealth, triable in the State courts, and if the grand jury, or any member of that body, knows of the existauce of such soci eties in this county, it is their bounden' duly to present them. In addition to the laws of the United States already referred to, we have a high ly penal statute in our own State, against endeavoring to persuade any person from entering the military service of this State or of the United States,or being in such service advising or endeavoring to persuade them to leave it. As this is an offence against the State laws, if you know of any such acts having been committed, it is your duty to present them. There is an evil of very considerable magnitude at the present time, and of al most daily occurenee, for which it is sup posed that there is no adequate - legal rem edy: I allude to that of persons reviling and railing against the government under which" we live, and praising and expressing a pre ference for that of the rebels. Such con duct frequently leads to violence on the part of the loyal citizens, at which we need not be much surprised, although it is not justifiable in law. The proper course is to have the parties so reviling the govern ment, arrested and taken before a magis trate, where they may be bound over for their good behavior until the next session of this .court, when the cause can be fully heard. We'have no doubt that such sedi tious and traitorous expressions at a time like the present, if not indictable, afford good ground for binding the perpetrator for his good behavior, if for no other rea son because it tends to breaches of the public peace by exciting others to break but numerous additional legal reasons may be adduced to justify such a course. It may be thought by some that we are introducing a mere question of party poli tics into court, which we entirely disclaim'. These questions have no relation to party, bat to national existence. Partizans may, and perhaps always will, differ as to -the best and proper method of atimiaietering the government but the points discused, go to its very existence—shall we have a na tional government at all? The rebelion, if successful, destroys our nationality, and throws all things into chaos. Citizens have a right under the provisions of the constitution to "change their rulers at the expiration of their term of office, and elect those who will administer the public affairs differently, but no one has the right te de stroy the government itself. Every mule act is high treason.- In a contest likethaf now waging in this country all whose feel ings, wishes and sympathies are with tile rebels, are traitors in their hearts, and all who render them . aid or comfort, direct ly or indirectly, are traitors in their nets: All who are not for the government 3:1 1 0 against it. In this great struggle for na tional existauce there can be but two pat ties, true men and traitors; there can be no .neutrals. Every man receiving the pro . . tection of the governMent is bound to ren der it hip warmest support whether be ape proves or disapproves of its adininittrie tion. What A Nati!
