LOCAL AFFAIRS
During a reconnoissanee in force by
Gen. Butler's troops on Thursday last,
Captain A. G. DICKEY, of the Bth U.
S. C. T., was killed, while gallantly
leading his company. Capt. Dickey
was we believe a native of Siloam, New
York, where his parents still reside,
and came to this place a number of
years since, and by his gentlemanly
and correct deportment soon secured
the esteem of all who knew him. He
engaged in teaching, and subseqently
studied law with Jos. Alexander, Esq.;
hut his strong republican principles
and conviction that the rebellion was
a blow at liberty, not only here hut
throughout the world, rendered him
restless since the war and he twice
shouldered a rnuskel in defence of his
country. Last year he was promoted
to the command of a company in the
Bth colored troops and served with
much credit in Florida, where ho
was slightly wounded. Some months
ago the regiment was transferred to
Bermuda Hundred, where it took
part in several severe battles. We
have reason to know that Captain Dick
ey was regarded as one of the most
promising officers of his grade in the
service, commanding there as here the
respect of all. The inteligence of his
death was received here on Monday
with universal regret, for all concur
that the loss of such a man, with every I
principle and talent to make him a
useful citizen, is not easily replaced.
Wtu. H. Bratton, son of Charles
Bratton, Esq, of Bratton township, of
the 2d Pa. Artillery, was recently
twice wounded, captnred, taken to
Richmond, and had a hand amputated;
hut was subsequently paroled and is
now at Annapolis, Md.
OUR COLORED SOLDIERS.—IRI the
memorable fight on the 29th Septem
ber, which resulted in the capture of
Chapin's Bluff, near Richmond, we re
gret to learn that several colored sol
diers from this place were killed. The
charge was made across a plain half a
mile broad, and although badly cut up
the 4th and 6th U. S C. T., with some
others captured the rebel works at the
point of the bayonet. Among the
killed are the following, who are said
to have fallen on one spot:
David Crisswell, George Anderson,
Walker Stills, Jos. Patterson,
Wm. Snowden.
Abe Patterson seriously wounded.
A letter from Charles Miller, now in
Portsmouth Grove Hospital, R. 1., says
that Wm. Snowden was also wounded, '
not killed.
Peter Johnson, supposed to he the
one formerly of this place, is also re
ported killed.
In no battle during the war has so
great a loss of life occurred among sol
diers trom this place, and when we
bear in mind that there are perhaps
ten whites to one colored in the service
from Lewistown, who for a moment
can doubt the bravery of these poor
fellows? We know besides that in
other respects most of them have been
faithful sons and brothers, aiding those
at home whenever they could. So far
as earth is concerned they are no more,
yet when the record of this war is
made, their names will be found among
those who fell victims to one of the
most hellish rebellion ever got up by
man. We commend their fate to sun
dry men, women, girls and boys in this
town who cannot see a colored person
on the street without uttering a low
bred remark as mean as it is cowardly.
They may think themselves "smart"
in doing so, but forget that when they
do it they are not lowering the negro,
but themselves.
FRAUDULENT VOTES —Four paupers
were assessed in Derry township on
the recent ten day list, and their votes
taken by the election officers. As the |
list was not posted up as is required ■
by law in order that citizens might
examine it, and as all the parties must
have known that these men were pau
pers, they may consider themselves
tortunate if they escape attention
at November term.
Another outrageous proceeding was
taking the vote of a man named Mills i
in Brown township, a rebel deserter,
who in a letter addressed to the Pro
lost Marshall which he dropped and
was found, protested against being en- j
lolled, and added that he had done one
wrong in deserting his brave eoropan- |
ions and could not be guilty of so "foul
a crime as to take up arms against j
them." This letter was shown to the
hoard, but being rebel was no impedi
ment to his voting there!

or York county sweet potato, which
he raised on a field near town, weigh

The war news is of no special inter
est other than that Grant is evidently
closing around Richmond: Sheridan is
• holding the rebels back in the Senan
doah ; and Sherman is again in the field
after Hood.

the brilliant engagement of the 9th inst
It was a square cavalry fight, in which the
enemy was routed beyond any powe to

when it was last seen it was passing over
Rude's Hill, near New Market, on the full

A Mr J H Woodward. a young mm

disagreeable to some persons by his < \
pressiotis of loyalty, and out of derision
was lately called upon to make a speech it;
a copperhead meeting in the West ID
responded to their calls in su stance a
follows:

I have faced almost as mean a looking
crowd as is now before me I mean the

I know I was called upon to make a speech
out. of derision, and I intend to tell you
what I think of you.
When God said he would save Sodom
if ten righteous men could he found there,
I have no doubt he would have done it,
and to day, if you all stood upon the brink

man could he found among you, I have not
the least doubt but there would be a great

Gentlemen, when you wish to hear from
me again, you have only to call upon me
I am always at home.
