A FLAG OF TRUCE—BURIAL OF OUR DEAD. Headquarters, Dec. 18—10 P. M. Yesterday fhe rebels, sent under a flag of truce, a request that we should bury our dead. A burying party accordingly went over and continued their labors to-day. During the truce, Col. Wallen, chief of General Longetreet’s artillery, informed some of our officers that the rebel infantry force engaged on Gen. Sum ner’s front was only two brigades, but that they had a large reserve near by. He said that our men ex hibited the greatest bravery, but ho considered the rebel position impregnable, and that a force of 500,- 000 men would find it impossible to carry the heights in face of their batteries. The rebel Joss was small, compared with ours, from the fact that they were protected by a stone wall and rifle pits. Our losses as heretofore reported, have been considerably decreased by tbe arrival of stragglers in camp. The enemy took yearly 800 prisoners from us, a considerable proportion of which were absent from their camps when we evacuated the south side of the river. The prisoners taken on both sides have been paroled. It is stated that Generals Lee and Longstreet were down today and held conversation with some of our officers. The flag of truce was withdrawn to-night after all our dead were buried. Battle of Kingston—Union Victory, The New York Herald , of Saturday, contains the following: “The report of the defeat of Gen. Foster at King ston, North Carolina, which was promulgated in a dispatch from the rebel Gen. Evaas, proves to be en tirely talse. So far from being a defeat the affair proves to be a victory for the Union arms. After three days skirmishing and fighting, commencing on the 11th inst., Gen. Foster captured Kingston, driv ing off the forces of Gen. Evans, killing and wound ing two hundred and fifty rebels, taking nine hun dred prisoners and eleven pieces of artillery. Our loss in tbe action was not more than two hundred. After this success our troops advanced in tho direc tion of Goldsboro’ and Weldon, the occupation of these places being the main objeot of the expedition. Our gunboats attempted to support the land forces, but, owing to the shoal water in the Neuse river, they were not able to render much assistance. The guDboat Ailison, however, of the marine artillery force, showed some fight, but was met by a battery of the enemy within two miles of Kingston, the fire from which did horsome serious damage, and finally compelled her to relire. The flotilla, on its return down the river, was constantly fired upon by guor rillas from the shore. The latest rebel accounts to the loth inst., report that artillery firing was heard be low Goldsboro’ on that day. No fighting occurred up to the l(>th.” FLO ATI KG SLAI’G HTER-PKSS. Is it a crime to imperil the lives of fifteen hundred meu ? Tbe rotten transports in which part of Gen* Banks’ expedition left this port are reported from day to day as having put into different harbors in distress. One of them, the steamer Thames, was towed into Port Royal last week, utterly disabled, and was condemned after examination. She had on board the 114th regiment of New York Volunteers Tho Niagara, an old lake steamer, entirely unsea worthy, put into Philadelphia yesterday in a leaky condition, and the eoldiers, who kept her afloat by active pumping, discovered that her timbers were rotten. Bhc had on board five hundred men of the 50th Massachusetts regiment. Still a third vessel of this expedicion, the Quincy, carrying the 42d Mas sachusetts regiment and one hundred men of the 28th Connecticut, is reported at Port Royal with defec tive boilers. The heartless speculators who palmed off these rotten tubs upon tho government deserves instant and severe punishment. It is enough that our bravo soldiers give their lives to their country in honorable warfare. It is too much that they should be ingloriously sacrificed to the cupidity of soulless contractors who fatten upon the misfortunes of the nation. The men who own the Niagara and the Thames knew the condition of these vessels before they chartered them to the government. They knew that it was perilous to trust such frail and worn out craft at sea. They knew that they would not have permitted the members of their own families to take a pleasure trip on board of either. No one but a fool omits to ascertain tba exact’condition ofhia individ ual property—and these ship owners are not fools. — They are knaves, who swindle the government and regard our soldiers as no better than cattle. — N. ¥. Evening Post. DYING WORDS OP A BRAVE MAN Captain 11. G. Gibson, Third United States Artillery, in a letter to a relative, gives the following interesting but mournful particulars of the wounding and last moments of Gen. Bayard : “ On Friday, when the fog lifted, our troops became exposed to view, and my battery was in a warm place for an hour or so. The next day the enemy continued the shelling and I was nearer to death than I had ever been be fore. I had been talking to Franklin and turned away to ask Gen. Bayard to go and get some luneh. He answered with a smile, “ Well I believe I will ” —when I felt a shock across my back which stunned me for an in stant. I turned and poor Bayard lay pros trate at my feet. I stepped to his assistance, and in lifting him found that he was mortally wounded—his abdomen and thigh shot away. The shot went through my overcoat and car ried away my sabre, cutting the slings and waist belts. I was up with Gen. Bayard all night. He died at noon yesterday (the 14th.) Poor fel low ! he was to have been married to-morrow He dictated three letters, one to * * * and to * * * and one to Col. * He said in it—“GIVE MY LOVE TO Me OLELLAN AND TELL HIM THAT MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT I DID NOT DIE UNDER HIS COMMAND.” Shocking Crime. —ln Philadelphia, on Tue-day week, a midwife named Madame Ilossner, was arrested for causing abortion.— On the examination, there were present five different females, all of whom had been her patients, and all had been robbed of responsi bilities of maternity. Nothing that was ever told of the notorious Madame Restell, or any ol the sisterhood of child murderers, equals in atrocity the allegations concerning this woman. Even the detectives, who, by hardened expe rience, become indifferent to such crimes admit that the business of this woman was extensive beyond allahelr previous experience. Ihe hearing occupied two hours. The details were utterly unfit for publication. The heal ing ended in the commitment of the woman without bail, and all the women who testified were obliged to give security fur their forth coming when the ease was brought to court -The detectives actually disinterred the bodies of the children freshly buried in the woman’s yard.

We commend the answer to the careful attention of those who are so free with their obarges of treason against every Demo crat who speaks of peace: We answer, when Congress shall be persu aded that reason, not force, is the Divinitt of the age in which we live. When Congress shall be persuaded that history furnishes no example of six millions of people, educated, free, and independent, being subjugated to captivity, and ruled against their consent— When Congress ehall be persuaded that no nation on earth has proved themselves power ful enuugh in arms, or in wealth, to establish, and maintain, indefinitely, a military despot ism over six millions of white men accustomed to freedom, and to a representative govern ment. When Congress shall be persuaded that every bayonet that carries a.demand for obedience to law, and to the Federal Govern ment, should also carry the announcement of a rel gious respect for the political rights out of which the war has arisen, and a willingness to confer amicably upon the terms of a re-ad justment of those rights. Fight on, ye men of the North ! and fight on will be the cry of the men of the South, until, substantially, these conditions we have named shall come to pass. But fewer of each side shall live to enjoy the result, as day by day by day passes away, and all of each will be poorer in purse, until tbe result that gives peace shall be attained. Peace is the child of reason and reciprocal interests. War is the heathen and soulless Moloch that devours, without remorse, every life aod every interest t-bat stands in the way of its imagined or pro claimed necessities. Cold, pitiless, inhuman, is war in its best aspect. It makes children fatherless, wives widows, the rich poor, tbe poor miserable, the powerful feeble, the feeble despairing, and the world itself everything which it ought not to be to every citizen and to every interest. But fight on, fight on, will be the impulsive cry of politicians, of aspirants to office, of Government jobbers and contractors, and of fanatical, one-idea men, both of the North and at the South. Fight on will be the cry of standard loyalty, until the still, small, and yet sublime, voice of the ballot-box shall bid bat tles to cease, aod reason to resume its sway over the councils of the nation. Then no bro ken nationality—no invidious titles to superi or righteousness in the frame-work of institu tions and of society—will be recognized, but a re united people, with one' - flag of national glory and strength, and one Constitution, one Government, and one supremacy, shall be come the inheritance of all our people, East, West, North and South. If there be treason in those sentiments, “ make the most of it.” Apple Crop op Western New York. —Not less than 175.000 barrels of apples have gone east by the Erie Canal from that part of New York west of Rochester. There has also been aa excellent market for the crops westward, especially in the upper Wc hear of large shipments goingin that direction, and we place the figures at 25,000 barrels, which we believe will not vary greatly from the true amount, making 500,000 barrels furnished from the territory above alluded to. Large quantities have also been shipped by canal east of this port, which wonld be safe to esti mate at another 25,000 barrels. The number of barrels shipped from the port of Genoese during the three fall mouths was 20,907. Probably 10,000 barrels more were sent to market from other lake ports, east and west. In the same time 13,800 barrels were ship ped by the New York Central Railroad.— Several of our citizens have dealt largely in apples this season, among whom we may men tion Messrs. Benjamin Wing, E. N. Jacobß, and E. Chamberlain. We have not the num ber of barrels each has marketed, but they are not essential here, as they must bo inclu ded in the amounts before mentioned. These aggregate 200 000 barrels. Probably enough more have been marketed abroaiWrom West ern New York to swell the Bum to 300,000 barrels. Ihe above figures, however, givehut a faint idea u{ the amount of the apple crop. A large home demand has been supplied, which, if added to that from abroad, we believe would increase the amount sold from the orchards of Western New York to 500,000 barrels. The price has been low, not averaging over $1 per barrel, but even at that price it ap pears that our farmers must have had distribu ted among them not less than half a million of dollars fur their apples. —Rochester American. THE TAX ON REAL ESTATE It is Etaled that Messrs. William McClellan, of Chambersburg, Robert B. MoCom'b, of Law rence county, aDd M. Russel Thayer, of Phil adelphia, the Commissioners to revise and codify the State revenuo laws, who have been for some months engaged in their duties, havo now nearly fiuished their labors. The impor tant result attained is that they are able to recommend a reduction of thetas on real estate to one mill on the dollar, which is a reduction of more than one-half on tho old rates. This will be welcome news, if true, to holders of real estate, which has heretofore been heavily taxed fl@“ The Newspaper Publishers of Cumber land county held a meeting on Saturday week, when they resolved to make an advance on subscription, advertising and ail job work, to meet the expenses caused by -the present great rise of paper and other printing materials. Dreadful Accident.— The Detacare Coun ty American says: On Thursday week a little daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth M’Avoy of Nether Providence, aged about seven years, came to a most shocking death by burning. It appears that the child whilst making a fire in a Btove by some means com municated the flames to her dress, enveloped in which she fled to the creek, which was but a few rods distant, and jumping in extin guished them, not however, before she was bo dreadfully injured as to preclude all chance of ber recovery. The little sufferer lingered in excruciating agony until Thursday, when death put an end to her suffering. MARRIAGES. On the 16th inst., by Rev. J. J. Strine, Abram B. Groff to Annie K.
