Sunday ; staid about ten minutes to hulfan
hour in the house at a time; don’t know

whether they were quarrelling, for I could’ nt
understand them ; just as she came into the

have passed from the backroom into the

At this point, one of the counsel for the
prisoner stated to the Court that the testi
mony of the witnesses yet to be heard would
be simply corroborative of that already
given in the case, lrom which it was evi
dent that the prisonor could not be con
victed of murder in the first degree,
and therefore proposed that tho matter
be submitted to the jury, with instruc
tions . from the Court to bring in a ver
dict of murder in the second degree. This
being agreed to by the Court and counsel
for the Commonwealth, the examination of
witnesses was concluded, and the jury
charged in favor of rendering a verdict in
accordance with the arrangement made.—
After retiring for a lew minutes, the jury
returned with a verdict of guilty of murder
in tho second degree, when the prisoner was

Saturday Morning. -Court met at 9 o’clock.
John Russel, indicted for stealing a horse
and buggy from Messrs, Leman, Murphy
A Co., having plead guilty to the charge,
was called up for sentence. The District
Attorney slated that it was by means of the
prisoner,who had/ffurnedState’slevidence,’’
that he was enabled to convict the other per
sons who were parties to this larceny, and
asked that a mere nominal sentence be im
posed. He also stated that he had received
a letter from the District Attorney of Phila
delphia, in which it was stated that Russel
had been the means ot breaking up a gang
of robbers in that city, and asking that this
Court be lenient in its sentence of the pris
oner. In consideration of these facts, tho
Court remarked that it was disposed to in
flict a light punishment, and therefore sen
tenced him to undergo an imprisonment of
ten days in the Lancaster County Prison.
The Grand Jury made the following re
port to the Court, this morning :
To the Honorable , the Court of Quarter
Sessions of the Peace of Lancaster county:
The Grand Jury, empannelled to inquire
for the county of Lancaster, at April ses
sions, 1866, respectfully report, That they
have acted on fifty-five bills presented to
them, of which they returned forty-one true
bills, and ignored fourteen.
The charges were, with few exceptions, of
low grade, showing that there is no material
increase of crime in this county.
That they have visited the County Prison,
Alms House and Hospital, and found them
in good condition, ana the inmates properly
attended to and cared for. They hear with
pleasure, that the Directors of the Poor in
tend erecting an additional building for the
accommodation and relief of the sick and
insane, and recommend that these buildings
be erected at as early a date as may be
practicable.
We would also most earnestly, but re
spectfully, call the attention ofthe Court to
the alarming and apparently increasing evil
of drunkenness within our county, and
while we acknowledge and deplore the diffi
culties in the way of checking this vice
under our present vicious license system,
and while we intend no reflection upon the
Court for its pastactionin licensing so many
houses that have violated the law, we ask
that strict vigilance be exercised in the
granting of all licenses hereafter.
We would return our thanks to the officers
of the Court, District Attorney, Sheriff', the
officers of the prison, Alms House and Hos
pital, for their courtesy and attention to us.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Robbery of Lancasteri ans.— On Thurs
day evening last, Messrs. Amos Devert,
Hiram Hainbrigbt,|and several other Lan
casterians, who had gone to Perryville,
Md., for shad, and were stopping at Wm.
Boyd’s hotel, were robbed of nearly all the
money they had. The particulars, as far
as we are able to learn them, are as follows ;
Messrs. IJambright and Devert had gone
to bed before the others, intending to get up
early in the morning. Mr. Hambright
awoke about four o’clock, and called De
vert; upon Mr. H. getting out of bed, he
tread upon his waistcoat, which he had
placed under his pillow the night before;
he became alarnjed, and upon examination
found that-a#’ his money, $34, had been
stolen. Mr. Devert thon examined his
waistcoat, which he had also plaoed under
his pillow, and found that all his money,
$304, and a silver watch had been stolen.
Also, some money belonging to Mr. John
Miller, which Mr. Devert had in his pos
session. Mrs. Boyd saw several men leav
ing the house about one o’clock in tbe morn
ing, and it is supposed that is the time the
robbery occurred. The singular part of the
affair is,that about nine o’clock the following
morning Mr. Devert’s waistcoat was put
inside of a window of the hotel with his
watch and all of Miller’s money except $lO
in one of the pockets.
A man named Winters, who had been
sleeping in his wagon, was also robbed of
$96, and another man, named Thompson,
was robbed of his pocket-book, containing
a small sum of money and his license.
No blame can attach to Mr. Boyd, as his
house has always been well kept, and no
one regrets the circumstance more than he
does, l

ancient Fenianism, and of the meaning of
the word Fenian. He spoke of tbe gallant
services of the Fenian brothers-of old in
time of battle. Their standard was a green
flag with a harp and the sunburst on it,
and wherever this standard was displayed
it was the incentive for deeds of noble ac
tion on the part of the Fenians. For cen
turies Fenianism had lain dormant, but
about eight years ago it was revived by
James Stephens, an Irish Protestant, who
formed the first Circle in the City of Dub
lin, Ireland, and since that time it has been
gathering strength until Fenianism is, to
day, the most powerful organization in the
world. The speaker said that Canada was
the object of attack, and that before three
weeks passed around the attack would be
made by the gallant, one-armed Sweeny.—
He concluded with a thrilling appeal to
Irishmen and all the friends of Ireland
present to join the Fenian Brotherhood, and
fight for the freedom of Ireland and help to
establish an Irish Republic, He was warm
ly applauded throughout his remarks.
Mr. William McWilliams was then intro
duced as “ an Irish Fenian, just from Ire
land,” andhia appearance was the signal for
much applause. Ho premised by saying
that fie made no pretensions to being either
a speaker or an orator, but came merely to
talk in his own way for the cause of his
native, down-trodden land. He gave an
interesting account of the rise and progress
of Fenianism in Ireland, arid said that not
only the Catholic population but thousands
of Protestants, like himself, were enrolled
as members. He spoke eloquently of the
services of James Stephens. The object of
attack, the speaker said, would be Canada,
and he had no doubt of the success of the
movement under the one-armed General
Sweeny. His remarks, which wore delivered
in a warm, impassioned manner, caused the
greatest enthusiasm, and he was frequently
interrupted with the heartiest applause.
He concluded with an earnest appeal to all
the friends of Ireland and Irish Independ
ence to walk forward and sign the muster
roll ofthe Fenian Brotherhood, or subscribe
such sums as they saw fit for the purpose o*
obtaining the sinews of war.
Several names were signed to the muster
roll, and liberal contributions in money and
arms were received.
After the meeting had adjourned a Circle
was formed, and the following officers were
chosen :
Centre—Capt. P. I. O’Rourke.
Treasurer—John Kelly.
Recording Secretary—Dennis Marion.
Corresponding Secretary—F., L. Calder.
Fire.— The Saw Mill and Tenant House
of Mr. Richard Jones, in Fulton township
this county, was burned on Saturday night.
The Mill had not been running for some
years, and the Tenant House had not been
occupied for some time past. The fire was
supposed to be an incendiary’s work, as
kindling-wood was found in different parts
of the premises. The loss is about $l,OOO,
on w r hich there is an insurance of $4OO in
the Chester County Mutual Insurance Com
pany.
Susquehanna Shad. A gentleman
from Lancaster yesterday informed us that
the price of shad ranged there at one dollar
for six, “taking them as they run.” The
same sized shad for which dealers in Phila
delphia ask thirty cents may be had at
Lancaster city for ten cents each. — Forney's
Sunday Press.
Who is the fortunate person that bought
his Shad for ten cents each * The “gentle
man from Lancaster” must have evidently
just awakened from a “Rip Van Winkle”
sleep, and imagined himself living at a
period.anterior to the war times when the
fi nest of Susquehanna Shad could be bought
in our market, the best in Pennsylvania
for 50 and 25 cents per pair. Shad possibly
“may be had at Lancaster city for ten cents
each,” but we have not yet been able to
buy or see any of these cheap specimens of
the finny tribe.
Mishler’s Bitters’ Manufactory.—
Friend Goodman, the sprightly and hand
some local editor of the Harrisburg Patriot
and Union , was in the city on Saturday
and Sunday, and while here paid a visit to
Dr. Mishler’s famous Bitters’ Manufactory,
of which he thus speaks:
Mishlers' Celebrated Bitters. —On Satur
day last, while in Lancaster, we called at
Benjamin Mishler’s large labratory, on the
southeast corner of Centre Square. We were
surprised to find such extensive arrange
ments being made by Mr. M. for the man
ufacture of his herb bitters. He is fitting
up an entire block, three stories high, which
will be wholly used for the manufacture
and trade of bitters. Mr. Mishler inform
ed us that he is doing well with the article
—the sales at present amounting to from
twelve to fifteen hundred dollars per day.
The bitters are used by all the good people
of Lancaster—no fami.y being without them.
Their fame has spread throughout the coun
try, and the bitters are much used in ail the
western cities. We beg to refer our readers
to Mishler’s card in another column. His
bitters, besides being invaluable as a medi
cine, is a sure preventive of cholera.

Letters from tieorgts*
Sand Hills, near Augusta, Ga., )
April 12,1866. J
Editors Lancaster Intelligencer:
Bear Sirs: By tbs beading of my letter
you will see that I atn again at the Sand
Hills, after a very pleasant Journey into the
interior for four dayß. While there I learned
many melancholy truths, and the state of
affairs in that region is much to be deplored.
Confidence between the whites and blacks
is at an end, and the terrible fact is being
fully realized by both that freedom has
come entirely too suddenly upon the blacks
for their benefit, and has so far rather proved
a curse than a blessing. The whites see it,
and the blacks feel if. At the close of the
war the negro, although free, was, gener
ally speaking, still the same faithful, polite
and trustworthy individual that he was be
fore the war, and until tampered with by
unprincipled white men, was contented and
happy in that freedom to do what was right
for a liberal remuneration; but now his
whole nature seems to have been changed,
and instead of being a faithful, honest and
law-abiding creature, he has become indo
lent, vain, lawless and impudent, so that
in many places, (where they have been
led astray or improperly advised), there is
a state of things bordering on anarchy, and
freedom (as they have been taught to em
brace it) instead of conferring a blessing
upon the race has proved their misfortune.
You ask me how this is possible? I an
swer, in the first place, that as a general
thing the blacks, from a combination of
natural and other circumstances, are igno
rant, dependent, improvident and conse
quently unfit for self-support, or of pro
viding for their families; and as a proof of
this, hundreds are returning in a beggared
condition to their former masters, whom
they had left but a few months before in
confidence, well provided with clothes,
furniture and means for their prosperity, if
they had ppssessed the necessary qualifies,
tions. Many of those who thus return
state that they were robbed of everything,
under false pretences, by the very men (the
white Yankees) who had persuaded them
to leave their former homes. Secondly, it
cannot be denied that evil-disposed persons,
who for the sake of gain, have not only per
suaded these poor, confiding and ignorant
creatures to desert their homes for the pur
pose of filching from them, under the cloak
of friendship and freedom, their hard and
scanty earnings; and when they had effect
ed their ends, they deserted them in their
need, aud, to avoid starvation they, (the
blacks,) were obliged to return to their for
mer masters for that sustenance which was
denied them by their seeming friends. Even
this were little, were this all in the terrible
chapter of iniquity which has been prac
ticed upon this unfortunate race. But their
misfortunes do not end here, for the same
wolves in disguise have caused unholy ser
mons to be preached to them, and the most
barbarous Jewish customs held up to them
as examples to be followed, which in many
districts has maddened and caused them to
commit crimes that civilization shrinks
from. lam happy to learn, however, that
steps are about being taken to convey the
above facts to the heads of Government,
and it is to be hoped that measures will
soon be takeu to remedy the evils, too vil
lainous to be for a moment tolerated by a
civilized government. Those who come
here as officials, to be useful, must direct
all their efforts to undo the mischief that
has been instilled into the minds of an ig
norant race, and teach them their true po
sition, as well as their duties to God and
man, and that freedom means industry, a
due regard laws and moral good
ness. W. B. F.

Editors Lancaster Intelligencer:
Dear Sirs: Those correspondents who
have represented the people of the South as
being still disloyal, full of wrath, and dis
posed to be rebellious, because they will
not worship at the shrine of those who not
only conquered them, but despoiled their
very hearthstones, have done them great
injustice, for they are not only loyal but
submissive, even now, subjected as they
still are to privations, indignities and non
representation in the legislative halls of the
nation.
Hostility to the Government is among the
things that were—but to say that they love
the people of the North, or the whip that
scourged them, is simply absurd, and can
not be entertained for a moment. They do
not deny that they fought us with their
whole soul and sacrificed their all to ac
complish the end in view; but, having
failed, they submit, and are manly enough
to say so, and should be respected for their
candor and magnanimity. They have
jworn to be lpyal and are faithfully living
up to bath, but the happy feelings and
kind conciliations which existed immedi
ately after*their submission have in some
measure been soured by the unholy meas
ures and speeches of those who professed to
represent the sentiments of the Northern
people. Notwithstanding all this, every
man I have met considers secession a thing
that is numbered with the dead who lost
their lives in its support, and, like them,
never can be resuscitated, and it is perfect
ly absurd to suppose that any one, even iu
his wildest dreams, has any idea of resist
ing the Government. All look to the Con
stitution as the only safeguard against an
archy and destruction. Every person con
siders the sudden emancipation ofthe slaves
a grand mistake, and the greatest possible
calamity that could have belallen that race;
at the same time that not a thousand men
in all the South would again establish
slavery, in any shape, if they could, nor
have they, as a moss, any desire to punish
or ill-treat the negro in any way. On the
contrary, they pity and sympathize with
them, and I could relate many cases where
relief was extended to them by Southern
gentlemen and ladies, when those
fessed to be their friends had deserted tnem,
after robbing them of aIJ their effects. The
Southern people, generally speaking, favor
the restoration policy of the President, and
manifest: a willingness to do everything
that is honorable to obtain the restoration
of peace, business and self-government.
Northern men cannot expect the people of
the South to love Thaddeus Stevens, Mr.
Sumner or Wendell Phillips, qny more
than they would a rattle-snake, a tiger or
a Hyena—and although they may curse
and say hard things about Stevens, and
pitch into Sumner and Phillips, Ac., it is
no proof that they are disposed ko revolt, or
do anything to clog the wheels of Govern
ment. No, I repeat it again, the South, as
a whole, are disposed to be submissive,
loyal, peaceful, and desire nothing so much
as to be encouraged in their loyalty and
praiseworthy efforts to retrieve their for
tunes, by anTionest, faithful and persever
ing industry—whether by black or white
assistance—but, like men who feel that
they are such, they object to oppression,
and will not quietly submit to anything
that is wrong. Adieu ! W. B. F.

Editors Lancaster Intelligencer:
Dear Sirs : — Misrepresentationand false
hood seems to be the order of the day—and
the nobler qualities of the soul are disre
garded by political selfishness, or an abso
lute abandonment of honor, justice, and
kindly feelings, with po disposition “to
love your neighbor as yourself.”
The cardinal principles of Christianity are
eschewed altogether, and anything like for
giveness, and a generous desire to see our
fellow-mortals (now repentant for mis
deeds) again upon the plain of fraternal
equality—is swallowed up in the baser pas
sions of our nature, and a pitiful desire for
revenge (unmanly, ungenerous, and per
fectly selfish in itself) is substituted in their
stead. 1 n the name of all that is just, wise
and honorable—ls this the way to restore
the Union, or to cement and establish a fra
ternal feeling which is so necessary to the
prosperity of our whole country? If not—
why then persevere in a course that event
ually may lead to the destruction, even of
our own hearthstones.
If we Have been fighting for the Union of
these States, and desire peace, happiness
and prosperity, let them be united in good
fellowship, or the consequences even to our
selves may in the end be disastrous.
It is a law of nature, (and cannot be al
tered or infringed upon with impunity) that
love, wisdom and goodness, always brings
happiness, and the contrary a correspond
ing degree of misery, in a thousand various
shapes—that though unseen and disre
garded, never can be evaded or Indeflnately
postponed. • .
Nine teuths of the Southern people are
positively loyal, und cheerfully submit
to circumstances which the failure of
their revolt hna bronght' upon them.—
But they object most strongly to be
deprived of rights which the Constitution
ofthe country (uuder the circumstances) ,
has guaranteed to them as well as to others.
Can any reasonable man, who has a spark
of kindness or justice in his composition,
object to this, or say that because nine
tenths of the Southern people have been
forced into a war against the Government
by designing men—that they shall not
(when circumstances have brought them:
back to their first and only love) again bo
restored to that favor which they were for a
season compelled to forsake? *T can con
ceive of nothing more unmanly and revenge
ful than such a conclusion, and to act upon
it or carry out the principle, is not only an
act of injustice, but a vindictive bitterness
that Christian forbearance must ever loath
and despise. What (let me ask those who
are still disposed to press the South to the
wall) are the facts in the case? A few mis
guided, unprincipled bigots iu both sec
tions of the country forced a war upon the
great majority of the nation. The one to
abolish, and the other to perpetuate—not
only slavery—but an aristocracy, as selfish,
and as unwarrantable as their ambition.
Now the great questiou is: Ought the inno
cent majority to suffer privations and in
dignities because the minority is fanatical ;
o,n the one hand, and aristocratic on the
other? Or, since the hopes of the aristocrats
are scattered to the four winds, shall the
majority, both North aud South, still be
held upon the rack by a minority (party !
aside) that has dwindled to a mere handful ?
I appeal to the good sense of the conserva- ,
tive portion of the nation to say whether
they will be unjust to themselves, and again
submit their necks to the yoke that has so
severely galled them? Again: what has
the opposition to slavery truly effected? j
Its abolition, you would say. Truly! but
what benefits has sudden emancipation
conferred upon the slave? Alas! nothing
but misery in the shape of negligence,
abandonment and starvation, and as they
are naturally, and from circumstances,
both ignorant and improvident, this other
wise much-to-be-cherished freedom has
proved to be their bane. But I must close.
Adieu. • W. B. F.

BITTERS WILL
CURE ALL DISEASES OF THE SKIN!
Diseases of the skin are numerous and, with
but one or two exceptions, may all be traced to
Impurity of the blood. In many persons this
Impurity Is born In the system; while others
acquire It through Improper treatment of
scores of diseases. Under this head may bo
classed—
Ist, Scrofula, —Tnls disease Is hereditary and
la transmitted from generation to generation.
It Is caused by a transgression of the laws of
nature, both moral and physical; In other
words, It Is caused by vice. Acting os a latent
poison. It reduces the vitality of the blood, and
weakens the depurating organs, so that hey
fail to discharge or cast out the Impurities tuat
are continually generating In tbo system. A
person physically puro ucqulres gouorheea. or
some other secret disease; he undergoes a
course of mercury, tlu- dlseitae Is dried up, and
the patient pronounced weU. Vain delusion.
The complaint Is not cured, Its channel is only
diverted. Instead of making its appearance
outwardly, It acts on the Internal organs, and
Bcroiula, which Is bequeathed from father to
son. Is the result. Many persons whoaro per
fectly free from all Immorality and vico are af
flicted with scrofula. They are suffering for
the sins of their fathers anti laboring under tbo
curse inscribed lu the Bo kof Books. •• I will
visit the Iniquities of the fathers upon tholr
children.”
To cure this dreadful complaint It Is neces
sary that the blood should be thoroughly puri
fied. all the organs of the body brought Into a
healthy state of action, and the system braced
up and strengthened by invigorating tonics.—
Look at the articles used in compounding
Mlshler’s Bitters; see the array of purifying
and Invigorating inendlcaments, and say
whether there Is an article In the whole Hat of
medicines that equals It. Wo here emphatically
assert, without fear of contradiction, that
MIBHLEK’S BITTERS WILL CURE ALL
KINDS OF SCROFULOUS DISEASES.
It purifies the blood, It strengthens tho Inter
nal organs and aids them to perform their nat
ural functions, It Is a stimulant and a tonic and
it wlB cure Serolula.
2d, Running Sores and Uloers.—Running
Bores and ulcers Invariably Indicate a scrofu
lous taint. They are caused by the efforts of
nature to discharge tho lmpurltlesof theblood.
Many persons afflicted with running sores and
ulcers succeeded In drying them up and tniak
they are cured when the skin grows over tha
sore. They are, however, “but maklDg bad
worse,” for the Impurities that wore discharged
from the system through the medium of tho
sore now act Internally and cause Innumerable
diseases and often death. The only true and
sure cure for all running sores and ulcers la
Mlshler’a Bitters, a continued and persevering
use of which will most certainly effect a ner
mnYitmf mm **
3d, Salt Rheum.—Salt Rheum Is a vague in
definite, though, popular term given to al
most all the non-febrile eruptions of tne skin
which afflict adults. It is generally an erup
tion of vesicles in small, dlaiiuct ulcers, ac
companied with asmartlng, tingling sensation
wltn a tendency to creep orapread over tho ad
joining surface. Mishler’s Bitters are a sure
c ure for this disease.
4th. Pimples and Blotches.—Pimples and
Blotches on the skin are always a sure sign of
Impure blood. Although never dangerous ex
cept In cases of oarhuncles, they are very’dla
agreeeble. Often we will see tne most hand
some features rendered hideous by great
blotches and pimples, and Instead of tne pieas
fngjlook whlcn should Irradiate the human faoo
we see nothing but disgust ng corruption • for
pimples and blotches arenotnlng but the cor
rupt accumulations of the system expelled
through the medium of the skin. The uso of
Mishler’s Bltters!wlU force these corruptions to
be discharged through the natural channels
and thus cures all kinds ol plmplesand blotches*
Ladles who desire a loir completion, free from
pimples should bear this fact In mind,
