with him. We no of know ill-lceling be-
twecu us. , We have no objections to his
preferring his rehitives before others;
neither Jo wo object to his patronising a
ruppt'i'licad office in preference to a loyal
one if he loves their creed better than
ours. Uut wc do object to a man
holding an office under a loyal Adminis

yet giving its patrouage to a paper, every
issue of which, fjr the last fmir years,
has been filled. with the vilest abuso of
the Administration its measures aud its

Kiiitor, be csn publish what he pleases,
but it in a fact tli ;t during the weeks

with whining over the barbarous treat

certain democratic gentleman down at

ful amount of blood aud money and suf

x' l Dear Sir: I
-can-
'toot refrain from thanking you sineerelv
ice .untortunate, out worthy-1- Soldiers'
Orphans now furnished with home and
instruction at McAlister3villc Academy.
I rejoice, too, that your sympathies were
enlisted in their behalf; by your late visit
to the school. Yet l am, not surprised at
it, for hard indeed must bo the heart and
callous' the affections, that Would not be
moved by a few hours intercourse w'ith
these dear little orphans. Their h-hep1,
dependent condition ' enlist the ' sympa
thies, and"Iheir simple and confiding na
tures; common to children!' wioi the ' affec
tions, while gratitude to their patriotic
fathers should at least procure 'liberality
toward these their bereaved ciildren.
I trus.t your kind notice may Ittract the
attention of others anl remind lie public
of the'great debt it owes to th nation's
. t ....
defenders, and th.rovgh them ta their off
spring'. :" ' 1
I am also gratified with you- proposi
tion to have the orphans hold in even
ing's entertainment at Mifflin. Vhcn on
their way home. They are as' yet en
tirely unprepared for it, as their opportu
nities have been very limited. lut pre-
suming your people will overlook their
failings, believing such an entertainment
may encourage thc children to a greater
effort in futuie, besides giving the public
an opportunity of seeing them.' Tie pro
position win De accepted, it a smtaoie
room is secured, and the citizens -O'
.M.tHin will keep the children in tne tami -
lies without expense till they start to frageJj, and the country will ' feel satis
thcir homes thc following morning. !gcj - ...

thc defence of our capitol at Washington
in 13'jl and has been :n the service ever
since. After the three
nth service
that company was organized as company
A in the Kith, "Regiment Pennsylvania
Volunteers, and ccrtaintly has as proud a
record as any other ltegimcnt in the
service. The 3Gth was" with Panks in
thc Sliancndoah in thc 12th corps and in
all thc fights with Banks. Then with
Pope and in all the Patties with thc army
of the Potomac until Hooker took the
12th corp3 to Chattanooga, and was then
incorporated into the 20th corps( and bas
incorporated into the 20:1
shared in all the Battle:
es ' and marches
with Sherman and has at last arrived at
ashmprton. And while other Kegimcnts ;
are discharged the 46th is still retained,
because they are veterans. While lying
near Washington, Governor A. G. Cur
tin visited the Pennsylvania Regiments
looking to those who should have promo
tion and the 411th, were in high glee ex
pectin to see their Governor. :' Bat. the
U r -i i .- .1 i i,:i :
Governor failed to visit them and while :
other Regiments have had the offices
filled by promotions, nothing was done
for the 40tL 'ow I do know that the
Regiment has as good a record as any
other aud no company is full.
Company A has bnt one Lieutenant

neglect, both by the press and by the

and George Al'-Atzerott were hung in the

on Friday last.

broken. As soon as . the execution was
over the prison yard was cleared cl spec
tators, and the bodies of the criminals
were placed in coffins dn3' buried in
graves dug near thc scaffold: . The ex
ecutioners were four soldiers and an offi

Dr. Mudd, Arnold and O'Laughlin are
to be imprisoned for life, and Spangler
for six years all at hard labor iu the

Ycnireance has beeu swift and sure in

the speedy justice, meted out to theni will
prevent a repetition of such transactions
in the future. They have had a long
and fair trial, with the benefit of the

The copperhead fr'cnds of 3Irs. Sur

Boon
niost unfortunate,
for tho evidence
against the accused was truly overwhel
ming, and their guilt so clear and un-
J blushing, that their defences appeared
paltry and foolish. (
In Mrs. Surratt's case her guilt must
be conceded to have been really far great
er than that of her associates, as she was
a woman of mature years and experience,
carefully educated, possessing property
and a respectable name, while Atzerott
and Payne Were beggarly outcasts, aud
Harold a mere youth. Her house was
the headquarters of the conspirators., and
she was in all thsir arrangements, and
was proven to have made in person some
of the latest cf them. She must be re-
V 7 i- ,
escaped punishment throughout tho war,
notwithstanding that they have done
more than most of the southern men to
feed the flames of. rebellion. She has
now gone to her final account, and we
may so pass over her record, merely , ob
serving that anv effort to represent her
...
as a martyr to military injustice origin
ates solely io copperhead bigotry.
As , wc never sympathized with the
howl raised against General Rutler on ac
count of bi efforts to repress the malig
nity and determined rebellion of the se
ccsh womcQ in New Orleans, so now we
entertain no mawkish sympathy for Mrs.
Surratttand only regret that, the justine
so sternly indicated in her caso had not
,
it caused a large amount of. our trouble.
It found an - appropriate climax . in the
rebel chief's disguise in Georgia, which
all the rebel organs in the north are now
busily engaged in attempting to argue out
of existence. : ' ..; ,, --
John II. Sorratt, wherever he may be,
may hug to his bosom the knowledge that
he has sacrificed his mother in savin?
himself,' and we hope that justice is not
to be cheated out of its due by allowing
him to escape. ' Her sympathies, indeed,
where with the rebels throughout the war,
as were those of the whole , gang, and
hence they were ' fitting instruments for
thepurpose of the chief assassin, Booth,
to use for his cuuspiracy. . Payne. . whose
counsel had adduced .testimony to. show;
that he. had acted as a volunteer nurse al
ter thc battle of Gettysburg, now says iti j
his confession that he thought to procure
peace for the south by killing Seward,
and Harold admitted that his sympathies
had been with the south throughout the
war. In fact tho treason of the whole
gang wilIc.rve'-'rto show" the danger by
which tke 'national governient tas been
menaced iriitspwn capital during there
bellionf All these parties were working
in the interest of tho rebels, and most of
them received pay for their services out
of money obtained from the rtbel agents.
Yef the heinoiisness of the crime was
such that ihe -rebel government, though
really at tie , bottom cf the . conspiracy,
did not dare to assume openly the respon
sibility of it, anU,-.tbereforej..;cartfully
covered up it tracks.
