GRUMBLERS.
We see several papers are endeavoring
to net up a feeling against the Jrtate Gov
ernment, a.s well as some of the officers, by
charging neglect and peculation against
them in furnishing supplies and equip
ments lor the army. Some of these may
have ground far complaint, and instances
have probably occurred where poor and
unsuitable articles were furnished by dis
honest contractors, but that these are
chargeable to n<<jlcct on the part of the
State Government or its officers is at best
a far-fetched opinion. The extraordinary
and unexampled occasion which has occur
red for calling out State troops in large
numbers, without prcviou - j reparation, has
of course rendered an immense amount of
labor necessary in arranging the details,
which devolves upon the heads of the sev
eral departments, who in turn must trust
to a second class for superintendence, and
these again to numberless employees, any
one of whom proving unfaithful or dis
honest, would give room for cavil. That
some cloth should prove bad in the im
mense lots purchased is no subject of won
der —fur there is hardly a store in which
some bad is not found; that some blankets
should have been unfit for use, is nothing
new; and that some shoes should be worth
less, is not strange, for the same thing can
be found in any dry goods or shoe store.
The grumblers however are not content to
make allowances for anything: if one piece
of cloth, a lot of blankets, or of shoes,
turns out bad, we at once find a rigmarole
of nonsense irom a "special correspond
ent" who can strain at gnats and swallow
camels, and forthwith the Government and
all connected with it are denounced. This
is wrong, and may produce insubordina
tion among those who have heretofore look
ed at the difficulties in a sensible light.
How different ideas prevail we might read
ily instance by extracts from letters from
members of the Logan Guards, for while
one writes despondingly and complains of
almost everything, another under the same
date speaks of being contented, makes
light of what the other calis hardships,
and on the whole concludes that he expec
ted to meet difficulties of all kinds, looked
at the bright side, and has not been disap
pointed!
We stated last week that there appeared
to have been some neglect 111 furnishing
the Logan Guards with their uniforms, not
on the part of the State Government or
Gen. Ilale, but probably through other
parties after they had been forwarded.—
After our form was on the press we re
ceived a letter from a gentleman well
known as a soldier's friend in word and
deed, which although mainly private we
publish in great part:
IIARRISBURG, May 14, ISCI.
The tardy movement- of the Legislature
have greatly embarrassed the constituted au
thorities here, and has tended to no little mis
representation and misunderstanding. The
organized regiments have all been sent from
this camp, and are now under the control of
the United States authorities at Chainbers
burg, York, Lancaster, West Chester, Wash
ington City, and a part of our brave Juniata
hoys are at Fort Washington, on the east
side of the Potomac, and about as near the
secession forces a- tin y can well get without
an exchange of shots. The aggregate of these
Pennsylvania forces cannot be -hurt of
15,000 men And beside, those already mus
tered into the United Mates service we hav
several regiments at Philadelphia, two or
three at Pittsburg, and about twenty six com
panies at this camp not yet organized it to
regiments. All these latter are awaiting the
acta n of the Legislature and the further re
quisition of the department at Washington.
Nearly the whole of them feel more r ! sa
aggrieve.i, and he air is full of cemniaints as
wei. e-t my mail, and not one perhaps in
fifty that d ■ * place the blouse where it
ought l.')-. to be plac d, and where it is doing
grievous injustice to place it. But so it is,
and of course it will require time to do jus
tice to an i vin..iic r tiio t 7 r --i and meri
torious parties. 1 have known th Governor
and th,- VGrc-.: Wm t . 1,,.
and misrepresented bey en u measure -hen
they were working night and day to the com
fort and honor of our soldiers and of the
.Stat*'. Our pe- nle will soon see the absurdi
ty of expecting an army of 15 or 20,000 to
be subsisted, clothed, armed and equipped in
a few -lays. And yet that miracle hiU be n
almost accomplished. Some, however, set a
to think tiiis should be done in a day, that no
. loluVS ai d d'S'ipi sstuieat should occur
■whatever, and this by department.- that had
never been organized, and out of means and
instrumentalities that had no actual existence
a single month ago.
I may on a future occasion, and when more
at leisure, take up in detail some of the false
and unfounded charges preferred, doubtless
inconsiderately, against some of the depart
ments of the mice. But there is cneallcw
me to notice now. It is that Quarter Master
General Hale is chargeable with neglect in
not ! aving the Logan Guards clothed long
inee That they did not receive them can
not, I am very confident, be chargeable to
Gen. Hah-, as I know be manifested a meet
commendable promptness in endeavoring to
have them speedily a' 1 promptly provided
fr. They were ainong the first in the Capi
tal for if- defence, were from his old home,
and he felt an ardent pride in having theiu
immediately supplied with all the comforts of
the soldier if it was at ail practicable.
X t being able to send them supplies of
clothing, (for bear it in mind the Federal
Government was bound to supply their sub
sistence, their quarters, and camp, and garri
son equipage,) he telegraphed to Col. Fo.ne_)
to have them supplied with under clothing,
which had to be done at nearly double the
cost compared with Philadelphia prices.—
When this was done- Washington was cut off
from us by the action of the Baltimore mob
and the secession movements in Maryland,
and it is only a few days since that anything
can be transmitted to that city. In the mean
time, however, their clothing was forwarded
as soon as possible, and lam happy to say ought
to be in their possession. But if it is not.
then the fault does not lie with the Quarter
Master General of Pennsylvania. lie can
not command the cars or open the communi
cations when they are obstructed. The same
delays have occurred in shipping clothing to
other Regiments at Camp Slifer and other
camps in our own State where the trains arc
running daily. Col. W. li. Irwin's .Regiment
at Chambersburg was suffering for under
clothing, and tli : authorities were being blam
ed here for acting in default, but they had been
provided for, and sent to them iu as good time
as poss'ble. and the delay was occasioned by
inie derangement of the transporting parties.
We have the same feelings and sympathies
here that our friends have at home. You
may rest assured that no time or opportunity
is lost by the proper authorities in creating
and forwarding supplies to our noble follows
who are in the advance posts, and who have
already in consequence of the extraordinary
weather passed through nearly all the stages
and different degrees of a soldier's life.
If wrong has been done in furnishing
articles to the soldiers, it is right and prop
er that the guilty parties should be exposed
and punished; but for one we protest
against a set of disappointed contractors
getting up sensation articles in time 3 like
the present.
LATEST ~NEWS.
jgrir There is no special news of import
ance since our last, but in our opinion Gov
ernment having nearly completed its ar
rangements, the next ten days or two
week- will witness a series of movements
before which the traitors will either have
to retreat or fight.
The traitors of Maryland, Kentucky, Vir
ginia and Missouri, if not of North Carolina
and Tennessee, will have their hands full at
home. Western Virginia is a unit against
rebellion; and, should the eastern portion of
the State venture upon active measures
against the Government, a new State will be
created, and volunteers enough take the field
to hold the rebels in check.
Kentucky is even more evenly divided.—
Already three full regiments have taken the
field for the Union, and when Col. Anderson
shall take his place at the head of "The Hun
ters" of his native State, an army strong
enough to speedily crush out treason from its
borders will make its appearance.
In Missouri, ten thousand Union volunteers
are already enrolled, and in less than ten
days the loyal men of that State will show
themselves too formidable to be attacked.
Maryland lias almost entirely recovered
from her rebellious spasm. The true men of
the State are bold and ready. They cannot
jbe put down. Already our troops pass
: "through Baltimore" undisturbed, and in a
j fortnight not a traitor will show his head ex
i cept through a halter.
Of North Car lina and Tennessee we know
less, and expect less. They may go with the
; multitude to do evil." But there will be very
j soon dev< 1 ped t >o strong a Union sentiment
; in both States to render safe a very formida
| b'e contribution of the troops to the rebel
| Confederacy for aggressive service.
On Thursday the only military movement
of importance was the passage of one thou
; sand federal troops through Baltimore en route
jto W uhington. The detachment, composed
j principally of a Michigan Regiment, arrived
i by the Northern Central Railroad and march
i ed from the Bolton depot across to the Mount
; Clare depot where they took the cars for
Washington. Their passage across the city
was very quietly accomplished. At some
i points they were cheered by spectators which
j they acknowledged by a marching salute.—
| The promotion of Major Butler to a Major
i Ceneralship, places the military department
of Annapolis under the command of General
Cadwalader, who has also been made a Briga
dier General. They were visited yesterday
by great numbers of spectators. The most
j entire order prevailed, and the officers were
very court* us . visitors, freely admitting
numbers within the lines.

of the Government, n his parole of honor
" that he wcull do nc 1 t, openly or covertly,

Both Ileuses O'L the Massachusetts Legis
iaturc on Thursday passed the Appropriation
1 ill of three millions of dollars and tho
Seven Million Loan Bill unanimously.
The Government has placed restrictions
upon the Adams Express Company in rela
tion to the carrying of letters and other arti
cles South.
The Charleston papers announce the block
ade of that port by thefiigate Niagara, which
will shortly be joined by other vessels. A
number of vessels had been ordered off, but
one, an English ship, succeeded in getting in.
The transportation of immense bodies of
troops to Fortress Monroe is to take place
at the least possible delay. Major General
Butler will forthwith repair thither, where he
will establish his headquarters as the com
niar.dant of the new Military Department of
Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. —
These facts arc significant of future events.
A private letter, dated on Friday, on board
the U. S. frigate Minnesota, Hampton Roads,
says: We arrived from Boston on the 13th,
and have commenced our assaults on tho en
emy. We have seized about $300,000 worth
of ships and tobacco. We are anticipating
an attempt on the part of the enemy to forti
fy Shewell's Point, and if they do, we shall
attack them.
Twelve or fifteen of the regiments now in
Washington are encamped in various locali
ties. The troops manifest the most friendly
feeling toward each other, while their gener
al good conduct is remarkable.
Two grand camps are proposed—one to be
connected with the Sickles' brigade, on Sta
ten Island, to receive whatever volunteers
may be accepted, there to be drilled, and
thence to be transferred wherever required
on the Atlantic coast. Another camp to be
located at Ilarrishurg, for the support of the
service in Washington, and at the Southwest.
Mr. Buchanan, who is generally very slow
in getting right, in a late letter says it is a
dishonorable act for any army or navy officer
to resign and go over to the enemy. Such
an opinion would have sounded better when
he was still President.
Gov. Magoffin of Kentucky, under the ad
vice of Breckinridge and other cowboys, has
commanded the United States not to march
U. S. troops into that State! There is no
step backwards now, and if necessary troops
will march through that State, and then wo
to the doubly damned traitors.
Three companies United States Artillery
from Fort Randall, Minnesota, under com
mand of Major Getty, arrived at Cincinnati
on Sunday morning and encamped on the
Orphan's Asylum lot. They left for Camp
Dennison next morning. There are now 16,-
000 Ohio volunteers encamped there.
Senator Douglas is improving in health.
He is now considered out of danger.
A detachment of 700 Virginia troops have
arrived opposite Williamsport, on the Poto
mac river, only twenty six miles south of
Chambersburg.
Advices from Key West state that Captain
Craven of the United States steamer Crusader
had seized the steamer Shawnee. lie was
arming the celebrated yatch Wanderer which
will be sent to the gulf as a cruiser under the
command of a Lieutenant of the United
States Navy.
Si. Louis Environed by a Line of Military
Posts.
ST. LOUIS, May 18.—The State Tobacco
Warehouse was visited yesterday by the Uni
ted States authorities, and a considerable
quantity of arms and munitions of war taken
therefrom.
The rifles taken yesterday from the Central
Metropolitan Poiioe Station belonged to lien
rv N. Ilart. colonel of the Constitutional
Guard, and had been taken to the police sta
tion for safe keeping.
The city is now environed hy a lino of mil
itarv posts, cxten ling from the river, below
the arsenal, around the western outskirts to
the river again on the north. The object of
these posts is to prevent hostile troops nd
munitions of war from entering the city, and
to protect the public peace and give security
to every peaceful citizen. The forces e ■m
posing these encampments belong to the reg
iments under command of Colonels Blair,
Boerstein, and Seigel.
Twenty seven persons have died of wounds
received at the Camp -Jackson affair, and
eight in the Walnut-street collision.
BALTIMORE, May 18.—Three merchants of
this city, Jerome A. Pendcrgrast, James
Whitefurd, and George McGowan, were ar
rested this morning, charged with riotous
conduct in obstructing the track of the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad on the 19th of April,
while the Massachusetts troops were en route
for Washington. They have been indicted by
the Grand Jury, and were admitted to bail.

SUDDEN DEATH.—Daniel W. Eisen
bise, son of llicliard, died quite suddenly
on Friday morniug last, lie had been
planting corn on one of 31 r. Burns' farms
and came home feeling somewhat unwell,
and continued feeling worse until 10 o'clock
ou Friday morning when he died. lie was
aged 1G years, 11 months and 17 days, and
was a quiet, well disposed and industrious
young man. Ilis remains were interred
on Sunday in the Episcopal Cemetery, at
tended by a large number of friends and
others, and the Slcmmcr Gurds, of which
he was a member.
RUNAWAY SLAVES. —We hear of a
number of runaway slaves who are making
their way north through the mountains in
this neighborhood, most of them probably
from Maryland and Virginia. Had Mary
land stood up fairly and squarely for the
Union, we believe our citizens, with
hardly an exception, would cheerfully have
aided in restoring them to their owners,
but as it is no one seems to care at all so
far as Virginia is concerned, while for Ma
ryland we only hear an occasional regret
that good Union men should suffer for the
deeds of the bridge burners.
LECTURE ON THE SOUTH. —George W.
Freseoln, formerly a resident of this place,
but for the past three years a citizen ol
Montgomery, Alabama, the headquarters
of the Southern traitors and conspirators,
delivered a lecture or address on Saturday
evening in the Town Ilall to a large audi
ence. Mr. F. was engaged in the banking
business in that city, and his uncle having
been postmaster there, he had ample facili
ties for w. tching the rise and progress of
the rebellion under the guidance of the
unhung villains who carried it out. He
related many instances of the dc-potism
and tyranny which gradually undermined
the liberties of the people and afforded op
portunities for indulging the malignancy
of every puppy who held a grudge or spite
at some neighbor. To such an extent was
this carried that individuals, were no longer
secure either in person or property —law
was but a secondary consideration—reason
became dethroned—and mob.s ruled every
thing. Mr. Frescoln and 31 r. Jacob 11os
tetter, also formerly a resident of' this
place, remained until a few weeks ago,
having both been previously notified to
leave, the former under personal threats
from an enemy. When Mr. F. did leave
he was followed by this miscreant on the
railroad, and all kinds of efforts made to
get him into difficulty, but without suc
cess. Finally, enraged at his discomfiture,
he seized Mr. F. by the throat in the cars,
when the latter drew a revolver, as did al
so two personal friends in the cars, and
with these pointed at him the scoundrel
was got rid of. Mr. F. says the South is
not prepared for a war of any duration,
and that the uprising in the North has pro
duced a deep feeling, the more so because
unexpected, as they had been led to believe
that the democracy of the North would
take up a tory position and remain neutral,
leaving the republicans to do the fighting.
The unkindest act of all was the New
York Ilerald turning in to the support of
the National Government and denouncing
the seceders. The speaker was listened to
with much interest.
figf-At a meeting of the Slemmer
Guards, on Saturday evening last, the fol
lowing resolutions, respecting the death of
one of their members, were passed :
WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God to
remove from our midst P. W. Eisenbise, one
of our worthy members, therefore,
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with
the parents, relatives, and friends of the
deceased, in this their sad bereavement, and
that, although we deplore our separation from
him our associate and fellow member, yet we
will calmly submit to this visitation from an
all-wise providence.
Resolved, That we attend the funeral of the
deceased in a body.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
be respectfully submitted to our county pa
pers for publication, and also to the family of
the deceased.

On Friday morning, 17th inst., DANIEL

A. Eisenbise, aged 10 years, 11 months and

On Tuesday, 14th May, AGNES M.,
daughter of John and Amelia Evans, aged
17 years, 8 months and 15 days.
Like the flowers of spring, when all around
is bright and beautiful, when birds are warb
ling their joyous notes in praise to Ilim who
made them, thou hast blossomed, bloomed and
died, ere sin had c * sled thy heart, care fur
rowed thy brow, or age shown thee that all
things earthly are vanity-hut not, gentle maid
en, forever; f.r He whofrointhenmst unsightly
bodies brings forth the gaudy and grgeou>

ery lawn or mead, has declared that from our
perishable bodies, made in His image, lie
will raise such as thee in angelic beauty,
clothed in a garment of immortality which
neither Time nor spaee shall d< -tr •>'. Sleep
tn then beneath the sod of mother Earth,
sleep on in peace. Thy narrow precinct is
a hallowed spot where the unbidden tear ma
rise and fall; where the heart may sorrow
that thy voice and footsteps are no longer
heard, or thy form and features no longer
seen, but thy kindr d know that their Re
deemer livcth, and that if faithful unto the
end all shall meet again, never more to part,
" where the wicked cease from troubling and
the weary are at rest."
Li avt - have tin ir time to fall
And flowers to wither at the North Mind's breath;
And stars to set—but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, oh ! death !
G.
For the Lewi-town Gazette.
AGNES M. EVANS departed this life on the
14th instant, in the 18th year of her age.—
Naturally kind and amiable, and of a lfvely,
cheerful disposition, her presence was like
sunshine around the family hearthstone. A
child of religious instruction and careful raor
al culture, she was early impressed with the
claims of religion and the necessity of a
change of heart. Accordingly, more than
two years ago she sought and found the sa
ving mercy of God. Her conversion was
clear and satisfactory, and followed by a un
ion with the Methodist Episcopal Church, in
which she had been reared, and of which she
remained a member till death claimed her as
his victim.
Her illness was protracted and painful, yet
borne with Christian patience. Not the least
distressing feature of it was owing to the pe
culiar nature of her disease, (typhoid) su
per inducing stupor with great cerebral dis
turbance. There were, however, some lucid
intervals when she appeared entirely rational.
She was prayerful even in her moments of
delirium; had a conscious sense of peace with
God; felt her Savior precious, and several
times rejoiced in the prospect of eternal life.
All the indications of her experience furnish
satislactory evidence of the happy future in
to which she has entered.
Fhe struggle with death was 60 mild as to
be scarcely perceptible; it was more like fal
ling asleep than dying; calmly, quietly she
breathed out her life, and her redeemed spir
it took its flight upward, beyond the home of
the sun-beam, to rest in the bosom of God.
Devoutly attached to the Sunday School, and
personally esteemed and loved as well, the
superintendent and a number of the teach
ers and scholars attended her funeral, sung
a hymn of Christian triumph at the house,
marched in procession to the place of burial,
and around the yet open grave sung another
hymn of farewell to a sinter beloved. The
scene here was truly impressive, and will not
soon be forgotten.
While she lay a corpse, as I stood with her
rather gazing into that pale face, unseeing
ejes, and closed lips, from the moaning pa
ternal heart came the touching words, "Her
tonjue was always music to me." But'tis si
lent now. The music of that voice has ceas
ed. She has joined the melody in heaven,
Redeemed of earth and pain,
Ah! when shall we ascend,
\nd ail in Jesus* presence
With our translated friend.'*
