The Rebel Raid into Pennsylvania,
Graphic Explanation of the Whole iffain,
HOW AND WHY THE SURRENDER WAS MADE,
The Rebels Nervous about Emancipation.
'Me following letter was. written by Hon. A. K.
Oture, or Chambereparg, Franklin county, to II friend
In this clty, who he kindly furnished it for publi
cation
CHAMBERSB Imo, October 1882.
My.. Dear Friend : I have bad a taste of rebel rule
and, although not so bad as It might have been, My
rather moderate love of adventure would not invite a
repetition of it. I reached here on Friday evening, to
fill-several political appointments in the county and
w h en I go t off the cars the telegr sphic operator celled
me, aside, and informed me' that he had a report from
Greencastle, of the rebels entering , Idercerabarg. We
agreed that it was preposterous, and thought it best not
to make the report public and alarm our people need
lessly. I supposed that a few cavalry had crossed the
Potomac to forage somewhere on the route leading to
klercersburg, but never, for: a moment, credited !their .
advent into thatplace. I came heme, - and after tea re-,
turned to the telegraph Office to ascertain whether the
rebels had been the Potomac at any paint, and .I
witeStbere met by two reliable men, who had narrowly
escaped firm the rebel cavalry, seven mlie3 west of this
Place. The telegraph wire had also been cut west, and
.it was then manifest that we had bat an hour to prep ire
for-our new and novel visitors.
Our people were confounded with astonishment.af the
brilliant audacity of the rebels penetrating twenty miles
in Rem McClellan's rear ; but however reckless or wall
devised on their part, the fact and the rebels were both
staring our 'people in the face. The rain was pouring
down in torrents, and in a little time citizens were seen
running to and fro, with their Muskets; but there was no
organization, and no time to'effect one. 001. Kennedy
attempted to improvise mounted' pickets for the several
roads on which they might enter, but he had scarcely
got his forces mounted until the clattering of hoofs was
heard on the western pike, and in a few minutes the rebel
advance was in the centre of the town. They stated
that they bore a flag of truce, and wished to be taken to
the thrornadant of the pest
I had lust got word of the movement to Goy. Curtin
and Gen. Brooke at Wageretown, when I was gent for to
meet the distinguished strangers. A hasty message to
Begerstosin and Harrisburg stating that the town was,
about to be surrendered, closed telegraph comminica-
Oen, and' fdr Gilmore, the operator, prepared at once
for the advent of his successors, and struck out along
the lino toward Harrisburg with hie instrument. I went
tip town to meet the flag of truce, and found a clever
locking 4 , butternut," dripping wet, witfont any mark
of rank, bearing a dirty white cloth on a little stick. He
pulifely stated that be sought the commander or autho.
rifles of the town, and in the name of the general com
manding the Confederate' forces, be demanded the sur
render of the village. He refused to give hie name,
or the name -of the general commanding, and he
could not -state what terms they would accept a our
render. As I had no command other than tho scat
tered and bewildered home guards—all brave enough,
but Entirely witbdut drill or organization—and about
three hundred wounded men in the hospitals, I acted with
the citizens as one of them; and it did not require a pro
tracted council to determine that eve could not success
fully reE at cavalry, and attillery. So:we concluded that
the venerable village bad to ; be consigned over to rebel
keephog. We bad been kindly allowed thirty minutes to
decide, at the end of which time, we were informed, rebel
artillery would demand submission in rather unpleasant
tones. Colonel T. B. Kennedy (colonel by political bre
vet, like myself), Jodge Kimmell, provost marshal, and •
your bumble servant, mounted three stray horses, and
Sled in with the rebel escort, amidst a thunder of cheers
for the Itnion and groans for the rebels; to meet we did
not know whom, and to go we did not know where.
Without umbrellas or overcoats, we
.bad the full benefit '
of a dienchtng rain, and I must admit that we were'
treated with the utmost courtesy by our new a3Bociates
They conversed freeliend.witisout manifesting any de
gree of bravado.
After travelling a mile westward we' were brought to a
halt by a gonad of mounted men, and informed that Gen.
Hampton was one of the party, to whom we 'should ad
dress ourselves. It was so dark that. I oonld not dis
tinguish him from any of hia men. Upon being informed
that we were a committee of citizens, and that there was
no organized force in the tows, and no military-com
mander at the poet, he stated, in a reseeotfuLand soldier
like manner, that he commanded the advance of the Con
federate trooper—that be know 'resistance would be vain,
and he wished tho citizens to be fatly advised of his pur
pose, so as to avoid needless loss of life and wanton do
struction of property. He said he had been fired' upon
at Idercersburg and Ottnipbelletown, and had groat diffi
culty in restraining his troops. He assured ua that he
would scrupulously protect- citizens—would allow no
soldiere..to enter public or private houses unless
under command of an offioer upon legitimate be
einesz—that be would take such private property as
be needed for his Government or troops, but that
he would do so by men under of oore who woulthdlow
no wanton destruction, and who would give receipts for
the game, if desired, so that claim might be made therefor
against the United States Government. All property be
longing to, or used 'by the United States, he stated, he:
would nee or destroy at his pleasure, and the wounded in
hoenitate would be paroled. Being a United States °Meer
myeelf, I naturally felt some anxiety to know what my
fate would be if he should discover me, sad I modestly
suggested that there might be some United Stateaatticers
in the town in charge of wounded, stores, or of 'recruit
ing'offices, and asked what disposition would be made of
them. He answered that he would parole them, unless
ho should have special
,reasons for not doing's°, and
he helmeted na that ,none such should be notified
by tut to leave town. Hero I Was in an interesting
situation. if I remained, there might, in General
Hampton's epinion, be tt special reasons for nog paroling
me, and the fact that he had several citizens of Mercers.
burg with him as prisoners did not diminish my appre
hensions. If I should leave, as I. bad apple opportunity
afterwards to do, I might be held as violating my own
agreement, and to what extent my family and property
might suffer in consmitnce, conjecture had a very wide
range. With sixty acres of corn in shock, and three
barna full of grain, excellent farm and middle-horses; and
a number of beet blooded cattle, the question of property
was worthy of a thought. I resolved to stay, as I felt so
bound by the-terms of surrender, and take my chances
of disoovery and parole.
The committee went through 'the form of a grave but
brief consultation, somewhat expedite& perhaps, by the
rain, and we then solemnly andlormiffy surrendered the
town upon the terms proposed. True, the stipulations
were but verbal, and but one aide able to enforce them;
bat the time, the weather, the place, and our surround-
lugs generally were not favorable to a treaty in form
and history must therefore be without it. We asked
permission to go a little in advance of hie forces to pre
pare our people for the sodden" transition from the stare
and stripes to the stars and bats. Gen. Hampton per
mitted my associates to do so, but detailed me to pilot hie
advance guard at once to the telegraph office. I per
formed the duty assigned me with no great compunctions,
as I had men lily . Gilmore, the operator, begin to flz
up" for them fully an hour before, and the rebel that
outwits hint Must take a very early start. Arm's. Ken
nedy and 'Kimmell proceeded'to town to get the people to
retire peaceably and prevent any provoking demonstra
tions ; and so rebel rule began in Clhamberaburg. They
marched in very orderly, and most of their force started
out different roads to procure horses, forage, and pro
visions.
I started in advance of them for my house, but not in
time to save the horses. I confidently expected to be
overrun by them, and to find the place one scene of de
solation in the morning. I resolved, however, that
things should be done soberly, if "posidble, and I had just
time to destroy all the liquors about the house. As their
pickets were all around me, I could not get it off. A
barrel of best old rye, which Senator Finney had sent me
to prove the superiority of the Crawford county article
over that of Franklin, was quietly rolled out of a cel
lar aide-dcor, and a good sized hole bored into it.
keg of Oberhoitzer's best, bent me several years ago, but
never tapped, followed Finney's testimonial to Crawford
comity distillation; and a couple cases of Presbury's beet
Girard House importation, had the necks of the bottles
taken off summarily, and the contents given to the angry
storms I finished just in time, for they were seen out
upon mein force, and every horse in the barn—ten in aU
—was promptly equipped and mounted by a rebel ma
valry.man They. passed on towards Shippensburg,
leaving a picket force on the road.
In an hour they returned with all the horses they
cculd thud, and dismounted to spend the night on the
turnpike in front of my door. It was now midnight, Mid
I sat on the porch observing their movements. They
had my beat correlield beside them, and their hones fared
well. In a little while, one entered the yard, came rip
to me, and, Mier a -profound bow, politely asked for a
few coals to start a fire. I supplied him, and informed
him as blandly as possible where he would find wood
conveniently, au I had dim Indent; of camp fires made of
. my 'palings. I was thanked in return, and the mid.
mannered - vitiate proceeded at once to strip the fence and
kindle thee. Soon after, a .sqnsti came and asked
peirn io o n 'to got some water. I piloted them to
the pulps.; and again received a profusion of shanks.
Commueication having thus been opened' between us
squads followed each other closely for water, but each
called and asked permission before getting it, and
promptly left the yard. I was somewhat bewildered
at this uniform courtesy, and supposed tt but a prelude to
a general movement upon everything eatable in the
morning. It was not a grateful reflection that my bean.
ttfut motintein tront, horn twelve to twenty inches long,
sport.ri in the epilog, would probably graCe the rebel
breakfast table ; that the blooded calves in the yard be
side them would most likely go with the trout; and the
dwatf pears hail, I felt assured, abundant promise of,
early relief from their golden burdens.
Abolat one o'clock half a dozen officers came to the door
and asked to have some coffee made for them, offering to
pay liberally for It in Confederate scrip. After conclud
ing a treaty with them on behalf of , the colored servants,

bad another hour of a free talk on matters generally.

THE RAID.
. .
Matters are quite indefinite here, in regard to the late
bold rebel cavalry dash on Ohamberabarg.. , The story
of a thousand horses being taken is incredible; It
would take a search of several days to Bed that amount
among the farmere around. The nearest point to this
locality where they are said to have reerosaed to Vir
ginia, wae s fourteen miles below. Oen. McClellan and
lady; 13 inieg. the shut visit of the latter; hive been
staying at the farm•house of" .a Mrs: John Lee, three
reties beyond his headquarters. The neighliors report
that a party of escaping rebels rode bytherelast night,
Cure - Minting of the prize within their grasp.
It is said also that a number also encamped part of the
night near the Sturgis Rifles, an independent company,
wbo were a few .. milee from Frederick, and on their way
to join the provost guard attached to General McOlellart's
camp. Several' prisoners are reported to' have' been
token at Frederick, many_of whom had stolen 'shoes
hanging frcTm their waists, and much extra 'clothing npon
their persona. One man is said to have 'had six suits
of clothes upon him, and was so encumbered that he
could scarcely descend from his horse. As I remarked
in my last, the Potomac has been so low recently that it
could be forded it innumerable points, and•it was next to
impossible to prevent the enemy from crossingin'amall
bedieri. This is the opinion entertained in ' high army
quarters, and it can only be regretted that The'riter was
in so unfavorable a state fireat promptnersi and ability
were &hit:died In pursuit of the enemy.
TDB WEATHER . AND- CONDITION. OF THE ARMY.
The late delicious antunin days have departed; and we
were greeted last night with a heavy rain.lifanY seldiers,
during the late battles, lost their blankets and '6fre'rcoats;
and were suddenly exposed in their shelter tenth, with no
covering from the dripping rain but their ofdinaryolOih:
ing, Itegnisitions were in many oases made itifoTtaiglit
ago uponlVaellington for additional Eaniete, but few
have 'arrived. It is to be hoped that our young veterans,
ripen whonitherriation now loans for safety, may speedily
be cared fcr. -
WANTING TO GO NOME
The army are thoroughly tired of campaigning, and
anxious to get home, where they can meet their families
and sweethearts, talk over past battles, .and crow over
their deeds. Many_ are thus induced to desert, who
would be perfectly willing to return a few weeks after
wards. Lieut. W. R. Maxwell, of the 10th New Jersey,
stationed at Washington, has arrested no less than 527
soldiers in citizen's dress, endeavoring to enter the
care there for the North. The face and bearing
of a soldier can be easily detected by those experienced.
Another plan for evading ditty bas been to be made pri
soner, and then paroled. At a mill, a few miles back of
Bolivar Heights, sergeant Bradley and Corporal Johnson,
of the 20th )Massachusetts, were recently taken prisoners
by a scouting party of rebels and paroled. A woman
near by informed them that the enemy were in the habit
of frequently passing there, .but they diaregerded her
admonition, and remained. They were soon after taken
and paroled. They then applied at their headquarters
for a pass to go home, but were arrested until inquiry
could be made into their case. It may prove that no
.blararkis to be attached to' them, but, if otherwise, their
punretreent will be severe, as an example to others.
While Lee's' army was in Maryland, a case (marred in
my neighborhood, where seven of our men surrendered
to a rebel adjetant, and were paroled by him. They
were unarmed, certainly, and perhaps feared that More
of the enemy were at band, but if their anxiety had
been great not to be taken, a majority could have os

A TRIP FROX AIiTIEEAM HARPER'S . FERRY.
Yoh: correspondent, after a long silence, is with you
again.. Aware of more experienced correspondents be
longing to the 1 4 Press Corps" being in our immediate lo
cality, and knowing 101 l well that they would keep your
numerous readers reliably informed concerning all move
ments in the immediate vicinage of the "Ninth time
d'Armde," we refrained from intruding; and In our un
settled condition it was almost impossible tO favo
rable opportunity to. "get up" anything but what some
of your correspondents had already noted. By reason of
alithis we remained silent, supreme in our majesty.. But
being ordered to Waahington, we will give a hasty sketch
of mil journey
,tAther.
Winding over,lS rough road on a pleasantauttunn day
bee rte attractbne, despite the jottings Mid-numerous
shakings YOU receive. - The road that -winds along the
banks of .the Potomac is a romantic one. The chirp of
the email birds, the'peonliar rattle of the•locust, and the
noise of the cricket, furnish to the traveller a serenade
Which is not to be sneered at. The murmuring of a dis
tant stream, winding its way from the heights of the
Er ountain the patter of a waterfall over the rocks, and
the droppinv of an acorn, or the muffled sound of a fall
ing loaf, form a romantic and interesting study to engage
one's attention. The road winds its way over the moun
tain, up one hill, thence down into the depths of the val
ley, through dark green woods, whose dense foliage the'
eye vainly attempts to penetrate.' Thoughts of rebel
scouts tilt upon our memory, but we know that they are
alt on the opposite side. By the blessing of Providence
and the prcwees of "Little Mac," they have paid their
last visit to "Maryland, Our Maryland " No longer Will
they pollute her soil, and the army now awaits but the
command to drop the curtain on the closing act of the
drama. We predict that before the frosts of winter.are
banished for a season by the warm breath of spring, that .
but one army will be within these United States: The
means are now in our poseeission. Our generals, we are
inclined to think, will make good'xise of them. The re
bellion must be brought to a speedy termination, or never.
One party has to go under before spring, and, Providence •
permitting, and the roads in.good condition, It won't be
us. But to our subject. Winding over a mountainous,
dusty, though romantic road, we arrived at the• re.
nowned Harper's Ferry,” the scene of John Brown's -
finatiCal suicide, the kindling wood to tide re . belliOn.
The town,•as you aro all aware, Win rains. It was situ
ate -at the base of the' mountain,' and 'reminde Ono, in
looking at its position, of a fly in the bottom of a large
boat. Teams, of all descriptions, blocked the road. OM
fle, for the army, were being driven towel* the head
quarters. Mules were kicking, dust flying, and team
eters and footman profanely swearing. Confusion and
dust reigned supreme. As the track was iiitered with
debriserock and all indescribable Ohstrn4lons,, we were
compelled to proceed to Bandy Hook, to take tbe train for
the Belay House. Here we found a motley, throng—sol
diers, newsboys, peanut-venders, officers, and loafers.
The train was behind time, and we awaited it.. As soon
• as it arrived, off sprang a newsboy, yelling the title of a
Philadelphia paper of the same day. Several pineltssed,
but, upon opening their papers, foundlhat they bed been
sold ; the papers were a day old, and were some the news
boysillad got stook on: It does not require the name of
the paper, but it once in a while gets Up a' special peace
despatnh, to gull soldiers; when they all know, from high
private to brigadier, that it was' only 'done fOr sensation
purposes. It's a very redie-notable paper
The soldiers will grow gray before tiey listen to peace
icopoeitiOna; as advocated by such sheets. The trip
from Harper's Ferry is not devoid of Interest; but, as
very many of your readers have travelled that ground, it
swot worth our while to portray the scenes upon that
route. , The railroad along its entire length , is crowded
with soldiers, and who are conveniently posted; in case
of emergency. At Monocacy, or. Frederick Junction,
the:bridge has been rebuilt in a. temporary manner, and
trains pm and effect a jnanll. - .11 with• but small delay.
Wo arrived at the Belay Holm at-about 9) P. BT., and •
took !pedal train for WaeLangton,. arriving there at
10.30.
• Wigsbington, the renowned capital of these United
State., does not present as lively appearance as it d d a
few weeks ago. The troops, with their tattered ban
ners, that marched up the Avenue are absent. Where I.
echo answers.. Senile' alieP their last sleep upon the
rugged battle-scarred slopes of " South Mountain,"
others revise quietly and securely along the rocky banks
of the " Antietam, ' while the ,remairider of the gallant
division - now stand watch and guard Over Maryland
HeighteTand the ruins of .Harper'a Ferry. • For a brief
period they will remain in- this temporary inactivity.
The Heights ire being renderel impregnable, and in the
future "we shall have no more Harper's Ferry affairs:"
All is quiet at the time of writing, but for how long ?'
We left. Washington ttonday, end ,paid a visit to
the camp of the 138th Regiment of . Pennsylvania Volun
teer!, Gelonel Somwalt. .The. regiment .ts one of the
newly-recruited ones from withirethe limits of the good
tt old Keystone elate," and is composed of as fine ma
terial as any we. have yet witnessed. Though but
short time in the service, they exhibit a. proficiency in
battalion and company evolutions that their &Beers
may well feel proud of. We Witnessed a flag preeenta-
Novi a gift from the ladies of Dr. William Wetherill's
family; ci Fatland," Montgomery county. The Doctor
has mulfeeted considerable zeal and interest in the mili
tary of Montgomery and Philadelphia counties, and the
members of that time honored organization, the "State
Fenciblee," can testify to hie liberality and hospitality.
The *regiment was marched down into a clear, open
open field, under`the command' of its llentenant colonel,
M. B. McOlennan, who formed them in close column.
Mahan's New York Battery took position on the right,
while the 14Ist New York were posted upon the loft. The
presentation speech was made, on behalf of the ladles, by .
Captain R. T. Stewart, of the 138th, and elicited inmate
of applause from the large concourse of ladies and their
escorts. The gift of the fair donors was acknowledged,
and received by a clergyman from Baltimore, whose
name, we are sorry to state, we omitted to obtain. His
speech interested his hearers from the commenoement,
and he carried their attention ustil the close. He was
frequently interrupted by cheers and the now fashiona
ble mode of applause, clapping of bands. He claimed
himself as a Pennsylvanian; he had the honor of Bret
seeing the light of day in an humble log cabin, on the'
summit of the noble Broad - Tcp Mountain, oonoty of
Bedford, in the good and loyal old State, Pennsylvania,
ono of the originaTtbirteen. Though living atniOst hie
entire Illetinie within the limits of Maryland, and south
of Mason and Dixon'. line, pot he still felt irond that he
was a Vein Pennsylvanian, and, come weal or wo, his
sympathies would still go with it. Re continued in the
same strain for some length of time, and at the olose gave
a laughable parody on the old rhyme of "This it the
house that Jack built," whieh he changed to “This is the
homes that Sam built." !Marione came from,lhe surround
ing country ; Baltimore tient a large delegation of citizens,
and the presentation was as complete a surreal as the
victory of • AntietsM. The snit of colors in peeeeedoF of
TWO CENTS.
the regiment is a a plendid one, and we do not doubt but
that they will yet wave triumphant o'er many a hard
contested fleld.
Pennsylvania may well feel proud of her regiments.
Nobly has each done its part when called upon. The
Excelaior Brigade is puffed up by New York papers, who'
sneer at General McClellan, and who they dare to assert
wishes to entirely obliterate the brigad& Will the same
New York pictorial tell the tale of the Pennsylvania Be
serves—that noble body of men, if equal to any, second
to none!" who, a little over a year ago mustered its num
ber at fifteen that:mend, now reduced by hard fighting to
but twenty-six hundred? New York has sang Excel
sior so long, suppose their sensation pictorials now give
us a litile " Reserve; a change once in a while is a great
thing--" variety Is the spice of lifer Pennsylvania
newspaper-men are also rather backward in noticing the
doings of their regiment& They, it is true, notice their
deeds of prowess and daring, but truism special attention
is called to the fact, they leave their• corresporrients to
praise, while they say simply nothing. When a gallant
dean has been done gallantly, and by a gallant band,
iitiders of newspapers glance at once at the column
editorial, to see what they have to say in its favor, and
two lines of praise, in that department, are considerid
equal to half of a correspondent's. column.. Editors will
please notice, and charge the same to account; and here
after when a Pennsylvania regiment, outside of city
bras, does a deed with the help of a New York number
sake, which has yet to have iM equal, then, we say` give
it its due praise.
Travel on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has be
come unusually bask. Over the entire length, from
Washington Junction to Sandy Rook, troop trains, forage,
provision, cattle, ammunition, and trains, loaded with
cannon and wagons . are passing and recessing continu
ally. Prospects of a speedy move are apparent; and ere
many weeks the renewed booming of cannon will awaken
the lethargic !deep into which the rebels have fallen,
thinking nrobably that the army of the Caton has gone
into quarters for the winter. They will be terribly mis
taken, and we predict that instead of hoisting their
mythical black flag, of which they boast so Proneyi they
will be seeking quarters from the soldiers of the United
pates. Two can play at the same game As they advo.

[Speciel Correspondence or The Press.]
NeenviLLE, Sept. 28,1662.
The flag of the Union still floats from the Capitol of this
Elate, where tee mean it shall continue to float as long as a
gallant army can defend it and the Capitol from whose
pinnacle it waves ; as It is our full determination to never
surrender this city es long ae there le a whole house to
defend. When it is surrendered It will not be Nashville.
bat the place where Nashville stood.
We have for our commander et this poet, General
Negly, of Pennsylvania. I trust that "he will do honor
to that gallant old State; I .know the eoldiers under hie
command are determined to do theirs. par defences
are strong. Sack prominent street is barricaded, and
beautiful houses have been relieved of their roofs and
turned into forts or rifte.pits, and the fort on lit: Cloud
Hill, which commands the town and surrounding country,
has been 'made of such strength that it can scarce be
taken.
Is rumored that John 0 Breckinridge has armed
himself to the teeth and to PreDaring to march tiffiDit this
City.. I think 'he will find the water bad here, or the
ground too hot for the soles'of his feet. He will be met
by thousands who cast their votes for him believing him
to be gallant and true to the Union, as well a. to the
cardinal principles of the Democratic party. He, the
onceleader of a no inoonelderable portion of that party,
comes almost to the grave of Andrew Jackson, to fight
fors dissolution of the Union, that the old Hero knew so
well how to appreciate, and which had so firma Mild on
his affections.
We are an oasis in the desert, surrounded as we are by
rebel sympathizers, who carry on a war almost to the
portals of the city. Let any Union man go unprotected
one mile beyond the city limita, and the.chances ate that
a guerilla bullet will be tent after or through hint. Trail
we know no 'North, no South, no . Bast-or West, as we
hare no mails,• no ialiroatit or - turnpike; travel. We
are a besieged city, without news from the outside world,
and have to be a world within ourselves. MI we come
in contact with are disloyal, and will be till they are— .
sutjugated, coerced, conquered, and treason is made
odious and traitors'impoyerished, and then let them start
anew by working for their bread, with freedom to the
slave, and again we may have a gallant race of Tennes
seans who will be worthy the name and fame of the gal.
!ant band who fought under Jackson at New Orleans.
Never before.
Look out for a gallant defence of this city. We have
no coffee or auger, but we have corn dodgers and hominy,
and I meet no one who soya wo can fall.
Buell is in the tebel fortificati:ns at Bowling Green,
which ere strong and easily defendtd ; between there
and here are no troops, and by reason of the lawless
state of the country travel has entirely ceased.
Tennessee must be held. Bend us an avalanche of
eskliers. The utmost power of the nation should now be
put forth. We are struggling for our existence. Let no
constitution nor sickening sympathizers put forth their
sethistry to defeat the war nowgoins forward, being ono
for victory and the triumph of 'freedom. EDWARD.
The Rebellion and the Episcopal Church.
To the .Editor of the Press:
The great discussion In the General Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, now assembled in this city,
is still proceeding with great power and brilliancy. Large
crowds attend the deliberations of the Convention, assem
bled in Bt. John'ttOhtirch, and the public mind through
out the whole Episcopal Church in the land is much ex
cited.
Swenty• three 'States or dioceses are represented in this
Convention—ten are absent. Among its members are
some of the most dietitian's sed and able divines from all
parts of the country. I may mention a few. Rev. Dre.
Hawke and Vinton, of New York, Rev. Drs: Howe and
Leeds, of Philadelphia, Rev. Dr. Clarkson, of - Chicago,
-Rev. Dr. Randall, of Boston, Rev. Dr. Shelton, of Buffalo.
Among:the laymen, I notice the Hon. Robert 0. Win
throp, of Boston, Hona. Washington Hunt, Horatio
Seymour, and Murray Hoffman, of New York, Judge
Chambers, of Maryland, and Judge Carpenter, of New
Jersey.
The whole time of the Convention has been occupied
With the subject of the schism in the Church and State,
brought about by the Episcopalians of the South: The
matter wM introduced by Hon. F. 0. Brunet, of Pitts
burg; v i try many resolutions were offered by-different
persons, and the whole were referred to a special com
mittee of nine.
The president of the House, the Rev. Dr. Oraik, of
Kentuchr, who has Border• State sympathies, appointed
a pro•elavery comndttee. The committee, however,
could not stand the loyal pressure of the members, and
they introduced mildly loyal resolutions. These resolu
tions wore amended, and are now under dismission.
Abler and more eloquent speeches were never made in
any deliberate body in America. It may be invidious to
mention the names of any particular ones, when BO many
dietinguished themselves. But we may especially allude
to two that created the profoundest impression in the
house, those of the lion. Robert C. Winthrop, of Musa.
chusette, and the Rev. Dr: Clarkson,. of Chicago. They
were both on the loyal side, and in favor of the Episcopal
Church clearly and in a manly manner declaring her
sympathy for the Government. The ablest speeches on
the .oppoSite side have been made by the Rev. Dr. Hawks
and the Rev. Prof. Mahan, of New York. Your dele
gates from Pennsylvania are all on the loyal aide.
The sympathy for the rebels comes chiefly from. New
York, Maryland, and New Jersey. The able divines
who are urging no action," g% no action,!' are the ones
who usually govern and control the deliberations of the
Episcopal Church.
So that it is "a question (so to speak) of dynasties."
The elder clergy, with few exceptions, go form no expres
sion of opinion ;" the younger and fresher ones generally
are for the Church taking a decided and unequivocal
stand. The whole question will work a great revolution
in the Episcopal Church. New men will take the leader
ship old and worn•out and timid leaders will, be set
aside. The aneation will not be decided for some days, to
all appearance. The whole couatry will await with
anxiety the result of this deliberation. If the, Episcopal.
Church hesitates to place herself squarely on the side of
the Government, her fate isdoomed, and her days in this
country numbered. It taint be observed that the sole
ground of the "no action" and ""no expression"
speakers is, that being a purely eccleelestical body, the
Convention bee nothing to dovelth politics They all de
clare their loyalty; but, that loyalty is more than sus
pected by their brethren
1 am truly your obedient servant,

DESPATCH FROM GEN. SIBLEX.
BEADQUARTICRS MIL/TA/Cr EXPEDITION,
CAMP RELBASE, OCi. S, 1852,
GENERAL : The latest reliable intelligence. from above
represents Little Orow, with a entail band of followers', as
making his way towards the Yaukto x Shinn, on James
river while the large majority of his former adherents
are dowly returning to eeliver themselves up to me, with
the hope, it may be supposed, that they will be lenient',
dealt with, I have sent messengers to them to-day,
stating to these people that the only hope of mercy, even
to the women and children, writ be their immediate re
turn, and surrender at discretion. If tne information re
ceived is correct, their arrival here in a very few days
may be looked for, mud then there will be plenty of work
for the military court in ferreting eat and ;mobbing the
guilty. That haunt has been engaged in the trial of be
tween twenty and thirty Indians in the neighboring
camp, who are now my prisoners, suspected of partioipa.
tion in the murders and outrages committed on the fran-
tier. The proceedings have not yet been submitted to
me, but will probably be to-morrow.
I am taking into custody !inspected individna's every
day, and the new phase which matters have assumed
may prevent me from leaving to report to you in person,
as I mentioned in my last despatch, for some days.
The camp is composed of about 1,200 men, women, Mn d
children mostly the latter, Aber° being but i
about two
hundred and fifty men among them. How they are niti—
mately to be disposed of is a question for the determina
tion of the proper authorities.
I have one hundred and seven white captives, and one
hundred and sixty-two half-breeds, rescued from the In
diana, making a total of two hundred and sixty. nice.
The most of them I shall send down to be provided for,
as they are very destitute, and I have few means on hand
to make them comfortable.
_There are a few pzisoners still with the absent bands,
probably not over twelve or fifteen, all of ,whom, with:
one exception, that of a boy fatten along by Little ()row,
I expect to release tram their captivity.

STRANGE ATTEMPT TO DEFRAUD.
An old and interesting case has recently been decided
in the Twelfth-district Court, and the finding was filed
to-day. It is the case of Still vs. Strattruan ' which was.
commenced sears ago.. The complaint of Still allege/
that he and Strattman. up to the fourth day of. November s
1858, were partnere in the magaiind and periodical trade.
under the name of Still it Strattman. On that day it was
muftis* agreed by them to dissolve the connection, and
that Still should become the purchaser of the other late
rest for $1,700 ; that at the time of making such agree
ment, and as an inducement thereto, titrattman tamely
and fraudulently represented to the plaintiff that he
(titraeman) had, on the third November, 1858. remitted
lily Freemen& Co.'s Exprees, to one Joha F. Feeks,
ot..New To:k--the corrw pondent theta of Still er
btraitman—the. stmt of $5OO of Still & Strattenan's
fonds, to be applied to the business purposes of the
firm, and exhibited to the plaintiff a receipt from Freo
nen & Co., dated November 3, 1858, acknowledging the
receipt from Still & Stratiman of one package of gold
coin of the value et $5OO, marked John F. Feeke, New
Tork, agreeirg to forward the same, etc. That the
plaintiff, roll log InOn the said false and fraudulent repro
eentation made by. John Strattaian, consented that the
said MOO should be placed to the credit of plaintiff by
Feeae, and be a pert of the transfer in the oargain of
sale of the concern; stud, thnenpon, Brill paid to &rait
man $1 700. ntratiman's defence to this was that there
wee no sufficient proof of nemand, or that the value of
the package had not been paid to Feeke in New York.

NEW':DIOGIROS DISCOVERED IN TULARE COUNT'(.
A correspondent of the Visalia De lea, writing from.Ger
don's Gulch, on 18th August, says: The new diggings
are located on a gulch fifteen miles south of Waite river,
aed were first discovered oy Jack 'Tolbert Thomas
bl cFarland, John Baty, and Robert Bix, about a month
ago, and kept secret by the company until within a few
da... a past. The main gulch affords plenty of water to
rock with, and is some seven or eight miles in length.
and is already claimed for three miles. Tae diggings are
shallow, and it is the general in.nteesion that the mines
will 'yield dO per day to the hand. I have seen tour or
five claims in whi :h the dirt will pay from twocty-five
cents to $l to the pan. The original discoverers have al

found human bones One skeleton was wedged in among
some rocks on the summit el - a rocky hill, as though the
person had been - wounded and had crawled among the
rocks to escape pursuers, when he had afterwards ciao. No
