tricts.

An Important Decision in reference to
the Military Bounty Law.
An important decision was recent
ly delivered by Judge Long, in the
Court of Common Pleas in Lancaster
county, on the subject of the military
bounty laws. The facts involved in
the ease are as follows : Two citizens
of Manheim township, having furnish
ed acceptable substitutes for them
selves in the military service, made is
sue to the effect that, having thus con
tributed what they deemed their quo
ta, they should be rightfully and legal
ly exempted from the payment of the
tax provided for by the act of the2Gth
March, 186-4, to pay bounties to volun
teers. The suit was brought by the
Board of School Directors Manheim
township, who, ia compliance with the
provisions of the law, were authorized
to levy and collect such a tax. After
a thorough discussion of the question
involved, by able counsel, the court
decided that the defendants were
bound for the payment of the tax, and
accordingly ordered judgment to be
entered for the plaintiffs. Judge
Long's decision is a very clear legal
paper.

No less than ten or a dozen of the lead
ing hotels and other large buiidiugs were
fired betweeo the hours ol 9 and 12 o'clock,
on Friday evening, and by these acts an
immense amount of life and property was
put in jeopardy. Fortunately the fires
were not simultaneous, and alter the dis
covery of three or four attempts had been
made to carry the fearful plot into execu
tion, the detective police obtained sufficient
knowledge of the affair to lead to the con
clusion that a wholesale conflagration was
imminent, and accordingly extra vigilance
was exerted by the police and Fire Depart
ment, aud the late fires were extinguished
almost immediately upon their breaking
out. The story of the atrocious conspira
cy soon spread about the city, and the
greatest alarm was felt among the people.
The report readied the Academy of Music
during the third act of the new opera, and
caused excitement, but was hardly credited. I
At about eleven o'clock the alarm seemed
general in the lower part of the city, and
the citizens searched their premises care
fully.
There were two theories as to the mean
ing of the plot—for such it undoubtedly
was. One was that the incendiaries were
also thieves, who hoped to plunder and pil
lage during the excitement that would cer
tainly have followed the success of their
efforts; the other was that a rebel organiza
tion had concocted and entered upon the
execution of the outrage. The discovery
of a woman from Baltimore, whose move
ments were suspicious, seemed to give a
clue to the mystery, aud favored the theory
last mentioned.
In every case the fires were proved to be
the work of incendiaries, and similarity of
the work in all the instances left no doubt
that one bead controlled the bu-incss

call it, succeeded to the extent evidedtly

miles above Gordon, was burned at
noon yesterday, by a small party of

"Gov. Brown has issued a prolama

Captain Baker, of the Hiram Liv- i

left that Sherman had occupied Macon,
and that there were 2,500 Union pris
oners at Macon on their way to Savan
nah to be exchanged, hut the road be

wrought through. Otherwise the ex
change was going on well,
General Thomas' troops are said to
have evacuated Decatur, Iluntsvilio
and Pulaski, and retreated to Colum
bia, where it is expected that at an
early day ho will meet Hood in battle.
Columbia is in Maury county, Tennes
see, on the left bank of the Duck river.
It is at the head ot a railroad leading
to Decatur, Memphis, New Orleans
and Mobile, and is adapted for a strong
defence, the river itself being a great
barrier to an enemy, which he would
have to cross in our faces. It was the
residence of President Polk previous
to his election in 1844. It has been
well fortified, and is connected with
Nashville by railroad, from which
Thomas derives his supplies. Forrest,
the dispatches inform us, has crossed
the Duck river above Columbia, and is
trying to cut this railroad.
We have little of interest to add to
the above. The city papers are as
usual filled with unmeaning dispatches
and letters, which when sifted amount
to nothing. Gen. Thomas, in Tennes
see, Sheridan in the Shenandoah, and
Grant before Richmond, aro in our
opinion preparing to strike at the pro
per moment in aid of Sherman's great
movement.

—The Democrat insists that the U.

—Mrs. Hatchings of Baltimore, one

for getting up a sword for that doubly

—We heard a foreigner expounding

ten cents a day, and eat horsemeat
when he can get it.
—The Democrat still continues to
talk about frauds in the election—all
of course somewhere else. It is al
ways best in such matters to begin at
home, and here we can name at least
three districts—Oliver, Dcrry and
Brown—where illegal votes were poll

Jiessrt. Editors: —Thinking some of
your readers would like to hear from us,'
and wishing to give ths people in general
some of our views in regard to the events
of the past summer, I thought L would
write a short letter for the Gazette. Some
may think that we are too harsh, but beiug
placed in the circumstances which surround
the soldiers of the Union, we realize the
truth of what we say.
Our company was raised at Belleville, in
the fall of 18til, when we for the first time
left our peaceful homes tor the battle field.
After more than two years' service we
were a part of the army that took posses
sion of Last Tennessee, and afterward with
stood a seige of twenty-one days in the city
of Knoxville. just one year ago to-day.
About the first of January, 1864, we re
enlisted as a regiment for three years more,
and were allowed to return to our homes
on a thirty days' furlough. During those
thirty days we enjoyed ourselves finely, and
formed many new acquaintances. But,
aias ! many of our comrades who shared
this enjoyment with us, are now reposing
in the treason-cursed soil of Virginia;
some are languishing in rebel prisons; oth
ers are at home and in hospitals, suffering
from wounds and disease, while the few of
us who remain, still confront the enemy.
I hat we have passed through the most ac
tive as well as the severest campaign
j of the war, our thinned ranks will show.
\\ e arrived in front of Petersburg on
the 16th of last June, and after taking pos
session of several of the enemy's works,
we entrenched our position, and the siege
of Petersburg commenced. We now had
time to reflect upon the scenes through
which we had just passed.
During the month of July, our eyes
were ail naturally turned northward, as
we were interested in the result of an elec
tion to take place in August. That elec
tion was to decide whether the people of
the N< rth would stand by their soldiers
and give theui the privilege of exercising
in the field a right dear to all American
citizens, or despise their rights as freemen
YVe anxiously waited for the verdict of the
people. Finally, it came, and we were glad
to hear that we had been granted the priv
ilege of voting in the field by a handsome
majority. Good for the old Keystone
| State! YVe then examined the returns
from the counties, and found that Mifflin
oounty decided to stand by her soldiers in
the field, and encourage and support them
in their efforts to subdue the rebellion.
But when we came to the townships, we
found that Brown township refused to sup
: port her soldiers, denied them the exercise
| of their former rights, grieved when they
were victorious, and rejoiced when they
were defeated. The returns of that elec
tion will be recorded to the shame of Brown
township and stamp her with infamy for
years to cotre. YVe are ashamed of her,
and own our residence within her limits
only to condemn her She is a blight up
on the honor of the county, and a disgrace
to every soldier she has sent to the field.
There are some good, honest and respecta
ble citizens in that township ; those we love
and respect and are are willing to fight for
their protection, but they are in the minor
ity, and are surrounded by copperheads ot
the most treacherous kind, who are ene
mies to our country, enemies to our free
institutions, enemies of the soldiers who
have rallied to save the life of the nation
at the expense of their own, and who have
braved every danger and hardship to keep
the old flag flying.
It costs us a pang of sorrow that we are
shedding our blood to protect the lives of
our country's enemies.
"But, tories. we can face the bullets
Your 'Southern friends' shall send.
But. oh ! we will not forget nou
When this cruel war snail end."
Previous to the November election, we
urged upon our friends at home the impor
tance ot sustaining the Union candidates,
not only on account of the great principles
at stake and the known disloyalty of the
opposition candidate for Vice President,
but because the rebels in arms desired the
success of our opponents, expecting by
that success to gain their independence
and make true the asse/tion in the Chicago
platform, that the " war is a failure."
" But all along the rebel earthworks,
We have savage shoutings heard ;
You will scarce believe it, brothers,
But McClellan was the word."
But the elections are now past for this
year: Abraham Lincoln is reelected
president of the United States for the
next four years. YVe have conferred on
us as soldiers of the Union, the privilege
ot voting in the field, but no thanks to
Brown township for either result.
But I must now turn my attention from
our enemies in the rear lo those in front.
" Hark! it is the bugle sounding:
Grant still finds us work to do;
But, oh! we'll not forget those traitors
Wlieu this bloody war is through."
Yours truly,
J. S. M.
—Because the Governor is carrying
into effect the act passed last winter
for organizing the militia of this State,
the copperhead press of the tory spe
cies is again finding fault. \Y r heu the
rebels invaded the State, these snakes
condemned the Governor for not hav
ing it properly organized, and now for
doing what they alleged ought to have
been done long ago he is again wrong.
