MESSRS. 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.

Wonderful Presence of
• Mind.
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.

his hand, A. P. am surveys the si

"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

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

- 'Why the devil isn't - my breakfast

This is the gentleman's first 'salu
tation to the morn,' delivered in a
tone of voice admirably expressive of
having arisen from his couch with a
determination of being in, a particu
lar ill humor for the rest of the day,
or, as the saying is- 'Got out of your
bed wrong end foremost,'
'But,, my dear, it is not too late!'
'Not too late ! not too late ! Sup
pose I choose to have breakfast a, lit,
tle earlier than usual, when I am half
starved. But people are so infernal
ly lazy in this house---Ah ! here it
comes at last ! It is strange that I
can never be allowed a drop of choco
late of which I am so fond:
'Well, my , dear, why do you never
mention it beforehand.'
'Why do you never ask me if I
should prefer it 1'
'You generally take eoffee—even
when we have chocolate on the table?
'And what of that ! fr. ihe very rea

then chocolate for a change. At any

deal of trouble onee in a while.—
Who made that fire ? Or rather, who

his name—who has been to see you
twice before yon know—l told him

The married man throws himself
back in his chair and smites the unof

'And who the devil authorized you

Charge . of Judge Pearson.
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

adviser, be involved in one common ruin,
All would forfeit their lives to the offended
laws of their country.
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.
