A D O L P H -tathfily r £ Mr. Crounse writes aB follows, in answer to an indignant letter from a number of clergymen and others in Gettysburg, denying the statement of the inhoepitality of that town after the great battle. We give place to both sides of the controversy, leaving our readera to judge for themselves. The statement which Mr. Crounse reiterates that a bill of $l7OO damages was presented for the cemetery, has been positively contradicted by Gettysburg papers. Further than this, Miv Crounse says : Nobody doubts that Bince the battle the people of Gettysburg have been tender andkindto our wound ed. But so are our bitterest enemies in. Virginia. Nobody doubts, since they have been taught how, that the people of AdamH county are doing all that their illiberal definition of the term “patriotism” will allow. No one doubts but they have suffered at the,hands of both armies. But what are their brief BufleringßjWhat pangofpain can they endure, what sacrifices can they make, of .which their gallant de liverers are not worthy 1 The Army of the Potomac had a right to expect a more enthusiastic greeting in loyal Pennsylvania than in rebel Virginia ; And yet there were fewer national banners displayed in Gettysburg when our troopß finally entered the place as victors, than there have been on the route of many a cavalry gallopadc through the heart of Virginia. Our officers and soldiers all had plenty of money. ,They bought freely everything eatable that was to. be had, but that was no reason for extorting from, them priceß sufficient to compensate for the losses inflicted by the enemy. I mean to do no man nor community injustice. If there la a man or woman in Gettysburg or Adams county who did their whole duty, in that trying crisis, they may. consider themselves as outside of this controversy, and they will receive the thanks of every ;generouß and patriotic heart. But it will take the statements ofeven more than twenty cler gymen to eradicate the experiences and the undeni able facts which came to my knowledge in Gettys-; burg. 'When the Army of the Potomac votesthe citizens of Gettysburg as galiant v generouSj and pa triotic, then I shall believe it. Not before. L. L. CROUNSE. Commencement lVeek at Union College Immense Speech of Hon. Daniel Dougherty, &c* [Special Correspondence of .The Press.] SCHEKBCTADY, ,N. Y., July 22, 1863. This is the annual gala-week of Union College, Schenectady. All appearances of disturbances have been quelled, and now attention is paid not to those which inflame the reason and which.make man a brute indeed, but rather to . those things which en noble him and make him a god. On Monday last the firat-claBS day in the history of Union College took place, under the auspices of the class of 1863. As it may be it was an occasion of great rejoicing amongthe friends of the gentlemen com posing the class. Mr. J. G. Johnson, of . Washing ton, B. C., delivered the oration, before an immense audience, at the Second Dutch Reformed Church. The oration of Mr. Johnson waß a most attractive, specimen of his great ability as a writer, and but an index of the. great latent power which the gentle man, to an eminent degree, possesses. He achieved a most brilliant success, as the heavy shower of bouquets truthfully indicated. The poem of Mr. John Wright, Jr., of Wilmington, Del., was worthy of the gentleman and of. the .occasion. Mr. W. has long been called the poet of the class, and, if ever he merited that title, it most certainly waß at that time. His name .deserves more than honorable mention, more than common or paltry praise. The efforts of the young gentleman pleased a critical audience much better than did the. squibs of William Ross Wallace, delivered last evening. All honor to Mr. John Wright, of Wilmington, Delaware r The history and class addresses were both in good taste, and were in the hands of gentlemenof ability, Messrs. Blakely and Bellinger. The grand marshal of the entire occasion, Mr. Bradley Martin, deserved the highest commendation and praise for his taste in arranging the exercises and his determination to carry them through. In the evening the Hon. Daniel Dougherty, of Philadelphia, was greeted with a fine audience in his address before the College Senate. Mr, D. was evidently ill; but the same patriotic fer vor that has marked his career in your city marked it on this occasion. His subject was “ and never has it been more eloquently handled. Rev. Dr. Hickok, president of the college, told the writer that it could not be more efficiently treated, and that he was delighted, This is good authority, for the critical ability of the Doctor is not to be questioned.’ The cool, impassioned delivery, the pure orotund voice, and the fine physique, all gave prominence to his effort, and he will be remembered here as no pre vious prator has been. Mr. D. has found a lodg ment in .the hearts of all members of Union College. AU honor to him, and all: honor to his nativecity, that she can raise such giant men, the opposers of oppression and wrong ! The concluding exercises of the commencement will take place to-morrow, when seventy gentlemen will receive their degrees. * , ATWOOD. To the Editor of The Press. Sir : Ab no accurate account has yet appeared in print of the part taken by the 150th Regiment Penn sylvania Volunteers in the action of the Ist of July, at Gettysburg, and as four companies of that regi ment were raised in Philadelphia, it may not be un interesting to our citizens to read the'following ac count by one who took part in the action: The 150th Regiment, brigaded with the 143 d and 149th Regiments Pennsylvania Volunteers as the 2d Brigade, 3d Division FiratrATiny-Corpe, under com-, mand of Colonel Roy Stone, of the 149th, came upon the held of battle near. Gettysburg, about 12 LVI., Ist of July, 1863. We halted in front of the Semi nary to the west of the town, and throwing off our, knapßacks,, moved forward about half a mile to a position behind the crest of a bill, our right near a large barn, our leftjoining the“ Iron Brigade,” con . sisting of Wisconsin and Michigan troops under Gen. Meredith. The ground was gently rolling and open, the ODly shelter being a slight.fence. We had hot been long in position before the enemy began to shell us heavily, when, finding they produced little effect in front, they opened a new battery on our right flank, and began an enfilading fire upon us*. Our right flank was exposed, as our brigade held the angle of the two fronts of our army, and one of the new Whitworth projectiles from this battery of the enemy killed two and disabled- three in Company O, of our regiment. We then shifted our position, so as to obtain a partial shelter from the barn before mentioned, the 143 d and 149th being meanwhile es tablished in a dug-out road fronting towards the north, and forming a right angle with the 150th, which fronted westward. The enemy continued to shell our position until about 2 P. M., without, how ever, disabling more than ten or twelve of our men. Company B, Captain Jones, who had been sent for ward as skirmishers, were, meanwhile, actively en gaged in our front, sustaining considerable loss. About this time Colonel Stone, commanding the brigade, having gone forward to reconnoitre, was hit in the hip an,d arm, by two balls from the enemy’s skirmishers, and was oarried into the barn. Colonel Langhorhe Wistar, of our regiment, then assumed command of the brigade, and Lieutenant Colonel Huidekoper took command of the 150th. Soon after a strong force of rebel infantry advanced from the north on our right, and we then changed front forward so as to come into line with the other regiments of the brigade. This movement was ac complished; rapidly and with precision, although under a heavy fire. The enemy now approached within less than fifty yards, when they were stag gered by our fire and halted, exchanging shots with, us. for several minutes. A new line of the rebels was now seen approaching from the west against our left, at a distance of half a mile, and Colonel Wister here ordered a charge to freeus from our old asaailantß before the new ones.were upon. us. This movement was entirely successful; the enemy, who had suffered terribly from our fire, gaye way at once and fled in confusion. UNDERCLOTHING. The danger of injuring their own troopß being now removed, the rebel batteries opened upon us with terrible effect, and the infantry fire from the line ad vancing upon our left became also very severe. In view of this, Col. "Wister gave order to change front to the rear, so as to resume our original position. This movement was successfully and rapidly ;pei> formed, though with a terrible loss. Major Cham berlain and Captain Dougall, Company D, were se verely wounded, and Lieut.-Chas. P. Keyeer, Co. F, was killed, in a space of sixty seconds. The colors of the 149th had been placed at a little distance, to draw theenemy’s\fire, and had been captured by them in the advance spoken of, but were recaptured by a..squad of the 150th in this charge. The l-Ipth : : then reinforced us in our new line, and we were in position none too soon, as the advancing line of the rebels was soon upon us. Our men . were partially sheltered by a' poßt and rail fence, from behind which we poured so severe a fire upon the enemy that their line also gave way. After retreating a short dis tance, however, they moved off by their right flanki and fixed themselves in a thick wood in front of the “Iron. Brigade”; on our left. Colonel Wister was wounded in the face during this engagement, but did not leave the field. No charge was made on us from this time (about 2.45 P. M.) for a considerable interval, but a very heavy antiilery and infantry fire-was kept up upon us, During this time Lieut. Col. Heridekoper was severely wounded-in the right arm, which has since been amputated, and'wrfß com pelled;to leave the field. Adjutant R. L. Ashhurst was wounded in the shoulder, Lieut. Perkins, of Company C, waa wounded in the thigh, and Lieut. Chancellor, of Company B, had his leg almost torn off by a Bolid shot. Not long after -3 P. M. our whole line began to give way; our hrigade, however, had no orders to retreat, and continued to hold, its ground for some time, when, finding ourselves almost surrounded by the enemy, .we at last fell back. Colonel Wister was here captured; he had: remained afe w minuteß behind the brigade forcing back some of the men who were unwilling to retreat, and driving in some stragglers who had taken refuge in the barn and out buildings, and was taken by the rapidly-advancing rebels who occupied the ground immediately after our leaving it. We fell back slowly, under a very severe fire. The Iron Brigade had formed a new line on the crestof the next hill; here we again haltedj and withstood the enemy’s attacks for some time; but our line giving way on all sides, - and finding ourselves' becoming again surrounded, we were again compelled to fall back. On our retreat we found one of our batteries on which the enemy were directing a very heavy fire, and which they were preparing to as sault. Here the rein-hinder of our men again rallied in an orchard, and succeeded in repelling a despe rate rebel charge on the battery. , We held this posi tion, though all the rest of the line had given way, until the guns of the battery were limbered up, horses hitched, and the commanding officer said they were ready to move to a. place of safety. An aid rode up soon after with orders for us to retreat through the town to the new line formed on the south side. This we proceeded to do, but our re treat had been ao long delayed that 'many of our men were,captured in the streets' of Gettysburg, the en«my having closed in both on our right and left. - We went into thefight on that day with seventeen .officers apd about three hundred and eighty men ; in the evening we mustered two officers and: one hun dred and nine men. The remainder, aa far as can be ascertained, are to be accounted for as follows: Officers killed—one (l). Officers wounded—ten (10). Officers prisoners—four (4). ; It is impossible to give an accurate account of the soldiers missing, but it is thought the loss is about as follows: Killed—sixty. (60). “Wounded—one hundred and sixty (160). Prisoners—fifty-one (51). Many of our wounded officers arid men were taken by the enemy in the hospital, and in the town, but were recaptured on the 4th July. Those only are spoken of as prisoners who were carried off by the enemy. The officers and men of the 153fch, with but few exceptions, refused to be paroled, Theregiment was again engaged.on Friday, 3d .Tuly, and behaved handsomely, losing six men wounded.:; • Proprietors, PROVIDENCE, R.

PIIILADIfiLVUIA, July 23, 1863, The Twentieth P. M. To the Editor of The Press: Sir: After weeks of almost incessant marching and changing of base, we are at laßt quietly settled in camp, and we are afforded on opportunity, long coveted, of giving you a few incidents of our cam paign. Since leaving Philadelphia, we have been almost constantly on the move, and much of the distance we were compelled to march. We entered the Cumberland valley a few days since, and en camped’at Shippensburg for a few hours.' From thei e We marched to Ohambersburg, and from there to this camp, which is located about one and a half miles above Greencaatle, in a beautiful grove. So you see we are here ready to protect the soil of the old Keystone from the ruthless hand of the* enemy,, once an audacious invader, but now a retreating and’ humiliated foe. We are not entirely isolated, but, on the contrary, the drums of many regiments sound in our ears, and their white tents present a novel appearance to the unsophisticated eye of the peaceful farmers of this beautiful valley; yet, of laie, as their empty grana ries and stables will bear witness, they have become too well accustomed to hear the tramp of armed men. As you are aware, this country was lately overrun by Lee and bis millions, and the history of their transactions, aB gu*en by the people of this section, is by.no means of such a character as to give an exalted opinion of their morals or their chivalry. Outrages upon the persons and property of the quiet dwelleis in this rich valley were frequent. Horses, grain, and provisions, oiten to the last mouthful ■from the farms, and drugs and store-goods from the /Villages, were appropriated with the most unblush ing assurance. The most remarkable feature con nected with this raid was the decided change in the demeanor of the rebels upon their retreat; from What it was upon their advance. At first they were impudent and boastful, and indulged iti taunting inquiries for the Yankee soldiers; but After Meade had met them at Gettysburg, and pressed upon their, vision not only a sight of Yankee soldiers, but ; Yankee cannon and bayonets, a change came over; their spirits, and instead of levity and imperti nence, nothing but humiliation and disappointment was depicted on their countenances uppn their , retreat from.a State.where, instead of a realization of.their boundless anticipations, they had met with disastrous defeat. The treatment we receive at the hands of the-people of this vicinity is of a charac ter, too, which shows their just appreciation of our efforts made in their behalf ;-*and this contrasts vividly with that which they extended to the rebels, who complained bitterly of the severe remarks in variably addressed to them by the ladies, who took * every opportunity to show their hatred and dis-. gust. • This regiment, now so pleasantly located, has seen as much service; perhaps, as any that has yet marched to repel the invader. Although but a . month has elapsed since-we left our homes, yet,; during that tiine, we .have travelled nearly three hundred and fifty milestone hundred and twenty of ■which we were compelled to maTCh—much of the time carrying our knapsacks and forty rounds of cartridges over rough and muddy roadH. When not on the march, we were engaged in con structing entrenchments by way of recreation. Not withstanding so much active service, the men of this regiment appear to be in good spirits, and their health is remarkably good. We have frequent drills, and are very fast becoming accustomed to all the ma nipulations of the disciplined, soldier. Col. W. B. Thomas is almost constantly with the regiment, and displays much administrative ability in the manage ment of the complicated "affairs of hiß command. He still continues to enjoy the entire confidence of his men, who believe that should the occasion re quire he will prove himself able and willing to lead us to meet the enemy. His dignified presence in spires our respect, while "his known goodness of heart incites our highest CBteem. Last Thursday Gov. , A- G. Curtin paid us a visit, and was enthu-r Biastically received. He made a lew remarks, the teiior of which was that the emergency had well nigh passed, and the neceßßity for our prolonging our stay had ceased. He was listened to with the most silent attention. The patriots’ hearts warm toward this able statesman, and we are proud indeed of our Governor, who has always proved himself equal to any emergency. The monotonous routine of camp life furnishes few incidents which would be of inter est to the distant reader; yet the life of a soldier, ■ with its alternating days of excitement and quietude,. - of inertia and activity, is for from being an insipid one. His time; iB filled with constant changes, in volving new Beenes and new duties. It is ojfficult to realize that these camping.grounds are Upon tbe sacred soil of Pennsylvania, or that these bristling bayonets are for the protection of her; children; yet when we are met on'every side with enthusiastic welcome and expressions of the bitterest hatred for anything bearing the semblance of treason, the factbecomes painfully plain; The Press reaches ub regularly the evening of the day after it iB issued; and I assure you it meets with a glad welcome.

CFrom the Tribune of yesterd:iy.3 The proclamation issued by ISlayorOpdy lie y ester day morning, offering a reward of $5OO for the arrest of the parties who Have committed the crimes of aißon and murder, fell like a 'bombshell among the rioters, tome of whom have already fled into the country under the pretext of seeking employment. Arrests are made in different parts of the city almost every hour of the day, and lawyers are buzzing about the police precincts endeavoring to secure the release of the prisoners. Notwithstanding the comparative quiet that pee* vails in the city, the spirit of the riot stilllives, and watches for an opportunity to make “night hide ous ” with the torch and halter. Ominous faces glance slyly and savagely upon policemen and soldiers when theypass through disaffected distrlcts. in pursuit of prisoners or in search of stolen goods. On Wednesday one of the rioters fired upon a group of police officers and then retreated to his hiding, place. The utmost vigilance is required on the part of the military and civil authorities to keep down the mob that is sore and bleeding in the lairs and dens of the city. * Some of the rioters indulge the hope that Go vernor Seymour will withdraw the troops from the'city,.or that the rebels here will Bucceed in their efforts to bring about a collision between the State and the United States troops. Others take freßh courage because they have been assured that the... city judge is their friend, and .will shield them’ from the terrors* of the law. There is scarcely a doubt that they still maintain, an organization, and that,' upon the. slightest pretext, should there appear a possibility of success, their leaders, who are now carefully concealed behind the scenes, will again urge them on to a renewal of the atrocities of last week. As the large numberof troops howstationed about the city will probably deter the rioters from acting In a body, they will—eo it-is said—be divided into gangs of three and four, each undertaking the accomplishment of whatevervillainies may be de signed by their leaders. Threats have been and still are made of burning the city—each gang doing their incendiary work in a distinct locality at the same time. * The main subject of conversation in every quar ter seems to be the draft, in regard to which nu merous speculations are indulged in, as to the in tended action of the State authorities when the Government orders it to be resumed, &c. No offi cial announcement has yet been made of the result of the interview with the President by the commit tee of which Senator Morgan, was chairman. It is said, however, that no orders will be issued concern ing the draft until the quoto. for New York is offi cially ascertained, and Governor Seymour is now engaged toward that end. There was so much but ton* holiDg and buzzing at the Governor’s headquar ters that it was impossible to obtain any informa tion, and the inquiries of the reporters generally were answered with, “I don’t know, sir,” or “I can’t tell, sir.” It was rumored about headquarters, how ever, that as a result of the conference the State would be allowed to raise volunteers, and that the draft would be suspended for a time to enable it to do 80. “ WAP PICTURES.”—A book with this title has been republished in New York froma London edition. The authoris Colonel Estvan, late of the Confederate cavalry. Some of these pictures are very interesting. Among them the following rela tive to. the death of Captain Wise at Roanoke, and the grief of General Wise: Burnside. immediately complied ; with General Wise’s request, and issued the necessary orders to give up the , body of the Captain to the brave old General. In a small inlet of the bay, on board a Federal war steamer, the coffin containing the body, wasjbrought to us. The officers and men spoke to us in the most friendly terms, and informed us that every attention had been paid to Captain WUe until -he breathed his last. I shook hands with the officer who bad landed, thanking him in the General’s name. He took a courteous leave of me, and his boat was .soon, gliding along toward his steamer with measured strokes. I stood fora few moments on the shore watching his progress, and then re turned in a mournful mood in charge of the body of poor Captain Wise. On reaching Portsmouth, all the church bells tolled, and a proceaßion was formed by,the numerous friends of the deceased. At the; porch of the church.we made a halt, awaiting the arrival of General Wise. With bowed head and fal tering.step the old General approached, leaning on the arm of another of his sons, the Key. -Wise, and accompanied also by his son-in-law,T)r. Lyons, Evincing great emotion, he went up to the coffin, and ordered the lid to be raised, that he might once more behold the features of his lamented son. The brother and brother-in-law. of the departed could no longer suppress their grief, and burst into tears. The old General took the dead man’s hand into his own, and exclaimed, in a tone of aneuish which ; Btartled all present:. “You have died for me 5 you have died for your father!” And large tears rolled down his cheeks. “He = died for me 1 he died for me !” he repeated in broken accents, and then fell insensible to the ground. ONE OF THE BOYS.—Passengers who came on to New York with Generpl Kilpatrick last week were attracted toward a little fellow in his com pany, evidently quite a pet, who wore the dress of the cavalry eeivice, with spurs and trappings, and a jacket bespattered with mud, showing-the evidence of bis late adventures among the rough riders of Kilpatrick’s force. Upon inquiry of the General, .the following story of the lad was toId:-He was horn in England, where his parents still reside, and came to this country with an elder brother, who la • now a member of an infantry regiment in the Poto 'mac Army. Taking 1 a fancy to the cavalry service, he managed to get a horse, and fell in as a soldier. After one of the recent fights, the. General noticed 1 bim giieying over the loss of his horse. A day. or* two later, seeing him near hia tent, he asked him to do ah errand to his adjutant general. When hear* lived at Mb destination, the officer asked, “ Who are /you, sir!” “ Aid-de-camp'to General Kilpat* rick, sir,” was the prompt reply. Now our young hero had made, his point. ...He was at once adopted into the military,family of the General, who assured the writer that no man in his command would bet ter convey an order upon the field. At the battle of Gettysburg he took himself three prisoners, one being veiv. tall, his head, while standing; being as high as tre head of the young cavalryman seated upon his horse. Bringing hia prisoner to headquar ters, confronting the General, he says : “General, what do you think of He has been in Beven tcen battles with hia favorite General, who in turn ncw.pjop.oieB to give his gallant and faithfqlyoung friend a good education.

As they retreated they were met by the Federals and again forced back' to fight at the point of the bayonet* THE RAID OF MORGAN. The Rebels among the Peace Democracy— Morgan s Coiuerlptlon of Property. CFrom Correspondence of Cincinnati Commercial.] There are some facts and incidents in connection with Morgan’s hurried raid through our part of. the State that will be well worth preserving. In the first place, it can be 1 satisfactorily proven that Mor gan’s band did stop at the. hickory pole at New ’Baltimore, in Hamilton county, and hurrah for'V.al* landighamk and tell the citizens of the place that ‘‘if Old Abe Lincoln di(J not let him come home soon, they, would bring; him back to-Ohio. Samuel Nobc, a Vallandigham man, is my authority. He lives in New Baltimore, and tells me that a great many heard the same thing. Others, who had with the peace-at tall-' hazard party, now thinly tha%>arty is about:played • out; but they are generally those who have suffered severely inproperty by. Morion’s thieving band. A few haveAgot religion,” and will no longer go with the Vallandigham icrowd. ' Ezra McClain and Henry Hall,'of. my., own knowledge, hare pulled out and left them. It is reported here to-day, by unreliable man, that Josiah Gwaitney, who resides near New Haven, and was o rTvery inti mate tarns with 1 the raiders while 1 passing through, and afterwards said pablicly-that' John Morgan’s men were gentlemen in their deportment in com parison with the Union forces under Gen. Hobson, left New Haven last Saturday evening, caused by a little “moral suasioxi’Mn the shape of a rope. Some men whose feelings have been outraged by his remarks againßt ourvorave and worn-out boys, have, no doubt, given him a scare, and if he is an apt scholar the lesson wijl. do him good. The same fellow scoured the couhtylaef spring, using all ef forts to get up a body-pf men .who would resist the conscription bill; so,ybu see, there is a unity or feeling and sentiment in the acts of the .man. Ilia brother, James Gwaitney, told Samuel D. Lloyd, of this township, that th6re has not been a single roan of Morgan’s gang .in our State ; that it was only an Abolition raid Vallandigham. And; this same James Gwaitney is a prominent town ship, politician of the butternut school. He was a : marshal at the great Vallandigham meeting at Ham-; ilton last spring. , George Tyler, jr., living'between New Haven and Harrißon, met Hobson’s men the morning after Mor-, gan’s iorces went through; ; and believing them to be • some of Morgan’s men, hurrahed for : John Morgan, and told them he was, andjhad been,'a John Morgan man. A Union soldier c&iled him to , hia *Bide, and clubbed him with. Ms ( carbine-, knocking; his infernal ; butternut head nearly off "of him. He has not been 5 out of his house since. 'His' eousin; a good Union ; man,toldmeof it this mojmine>'They are both near relatives of the late George- Selves, of the St. Charles : Reßtßurant. ‘ s *•£ - The butternuts of Morgan, Ross, Riley, and Hano ver townships hold a meeting to day to adopt means and measuresto proteef themselves from pilfering by marauding bands going through the country. The facts are these: ; A/ew'butternuts had horses . ' pressed into the'Xlnion service by Hobson, who was .in close pursuit ot Morgan—in fact, too close to give him much time to plunder Unionmen: and they feel sore that Morgan’s plans were interfered with by the’prompt actions of Hobson. They are noiv going to aim themselves, and if "another raid is made, they will, be ready to bushwhack our men. John J. Owens, our present County Commissioner, and T. J.- Shields, are the prime ;; movers of the meeting. Shields had two horses taken by Hobson’s men, and there is no end to the .abuse he applies to them, while he has not one word of;censure against Mor? gan’s men. He calls Hobson’s men: “Morgan's' camp-follou'erSy thieves and ‘Abolition scoundrel's.” Another correspondent writes from Glendale, O.: They plundered from [Ben Stevens, Esq., eight fine horses; among them was his Bplendid stallion, Sir Harry Backus. Ben fought bravely for his hags, but the thieves were too numerous for him. Arebel white man and a negro went to the stable of Jacob Riddle and led off ttvo of his best. Mr. Riddle offered no resistance, though he had several laborers lodging at hiß house at the time.. He should, by all means, have administered a few of Colt’s blue pillß into the livers of the black, and .white cubbcs. There are a great many losers of horse-fle3h in this,part of the country. Mr. Stephens,' of and Mr. v Leavitt,, near Springdale. from' , whom were taken: six horeeß, I believe, are the greatest sufferers. In taking all the horses one .gentleman had, there was one, a great favorite, which he begged might be spared, offering to pay over the' full price for him.. “ How much cn you value'him at!” the gentleman' was asked. “Two hundred dollars,” was the reply. “Produce it then, and you may keep your horse.” No sooner the price''placed in the impudent rascal’s hand than he pocketed the money and led off the horse. ' Union men and. butternuts, it seems, were used alike, the marauders not taking the trouble to con sult the political feelings of those whose Btables they were about to visit;-:£A citizen remarked to an' officer that there were jplenty of butternuts in the neighborhood, and inquired if they (the rebels) did not wish to take some ofc;them along with. them. “ Damn the butternuts,” was the reply, “we don’t ■want anything to do with them; all we want is their ’horses.” » While passing along, a shaky reb was heard to re mark to the other riding by his side, that they were now getting pretty near, Cincinnati, and asked if he did not fear Burnside would be after them. “ No,” replied his more chivalrous companion with an oath, “ nary a bit; I am- not much afraid of that d—d old cbuciclehead.” •• , m Bel)el Atrocities in .East Tennessee* . - The editor of the Memphis Bulletin, who has been on a visit to Nashville, communicates the folio wing to his paper,.in reference to rebel rule in East Ten nessee. Colonel. Crawford, .the gentleman from whom the -facts are obtained, has a personal know ledgej of some .of the circumstances, having left the , scenes of their enactment quite recently, and vouches for ,the truth, of all of them. In the month of January, iS63, at Laurel, N. C., near the' Tennessee border, all the',salt was seized for distributionby Confederate commissioners. Salt was selling at seventy- five to one hundred dollars a sack. The commissioners declared that the “tories should have none,” and positively refused to give Union men their portion of the quantity to be dis tributed'-in tbat -injustice* roused the Uniqp men; they assembled together and determined to seize , their, proportion of the salt by force. They did so, taking at Marshall. N. C.,what they deemed to be their just share.' Immediately afterwards, the 65th North Carolina regiment, under command of Lieutenant Colonel James Keith, was ordered to Laurel to arrest the Offenders. L. M. Allen was colonel of the regiment, but had been suspended for six months for crime aud drun kenness. Many of the men engaged in the salt sei zure left their'homes. Those who did not partici pate in it became the sufferers. Among those ar rested were Joseph Wood, about sixty years of age; David Shelton, sixty; James Shelton, fifty; Roddy Shelton, forty-five; Elison King ? forty; Halen Moore, forty; Wade Moore, thirty-five; Isai&h Shelton, fifteen; Wm. Shelton, twelve ; Janies Met calf, ten ; Jaßper Channel, fourteen; Samuel Shel ton, nineteen, and his brother, aged seventeen, sons of Lifus Shelton—in all, thirteen men and boys. Nearly all of them declared they were innocent, and had taken no part in appropriating the salt. They begged for a trial, asserting that they, could prove their innocence. - . Colonel Allen, who was with his troops, but not in command, told them they should have a trial, but they would be taken to Tennessee for that purposed They bid farewell to their wives, daughters, and sis ter, directing them to procure the witnesses and bring them to the court in Tennessee, where they aupposed.their trial would take place. Alas ! how little they dreamed what a fate awaited them!. The poof fellows had proceeded but a lew miles,, when they were turned from the roa'd into a gorge in the mountain, and halted. Without any warning of what was .to be done with them, five of them were ordered to kneel down. Ten paces in front of these .five, a file of soldiers were placed with loaded mus kets. The terrible reality flashed upon the minda of the doomed patriots. Old man Wood (lixty years of age) cried out: u For God’s sake, men, you are not going to shoot us?. If . you are going to murder us, give us at leasfc.time to pray.” ‘Colonel Allen was reminded of Mb promise to give them a trial. They were informed that Allen had no authority; that Keith was in command; and that there was no time for prayiog. The order was giyelMo fire. The old men anu boys put their hands to*their.faces and rent the air with agonizing cries of despair ; the soldiers wavered, and hesitated to obey the com mand. Keith said, if they did not fire instantly he.. would make them change places with the prisoners. The soldiers raised their guns, the victims shuddered convulsively, the word was given to fire, and the five men fell pierced with rebel bullets. Old men Wood and Shelton were shot in the head, their brains scattered upon the 1 ground, and they died without a straggle. The other three lived only a few minutes. -Five others were ordered* to kneel, among them little Billy’Shelton, a mere child, only twelve years old. He implored .the men not to shoot him in the face. “.You have killed my father and brothers,” said he; “you have shot my father in the face; do •not shoot me in the face.” He covered his. face with hia hands. The soldiers leceived the order to .fire, and five more fell. Poor little Billy Shelton was wounded in both arms. He ran to an officer, clasped him. around the legs, and besought him : to spare his life. “You have killed my old father and my three brothers; you have shot me in both arms—l forgive you all this—l can get .well. . Let me go home to ,my mother and sisters.” What a heart of adamant the man mußt have who could disregard such an appeal. The little boy was dragged back to the place of execution ; again the terrible word “fire!” was given, and he fell dead, eight balls having entered his.body.' The remaining three were muiclc'red in the same-manner. Those in whom life was- not entirely, extinct the heartless officers despatched with their pistols. Old Mrs. Unus Riddle, aged eighty-five years, was whipped, huDg, and robbed of a considerable amount .of money. Many others were treated with the same barbarity. And'the men who did this were called soldiers! The daughters of. William . Shelton, a ,man of wealth and highly respectable, were requested by some of the officers to siDg and play for them. They played and sang a few national airs. Keith learned of it, and ordered that theladies be placed under arrest and sent to the guardhouse, where they remained all night. Old Mrs. Sallie Moore, seventy years of age, was whipped with hickory rods till the blood ran in streams down her back'to the ground; and the per petrators of this were clothed in ;the. habiliments of rebellion, and bore the name of soldiers ! One woman, who had an infant five or six weeks . old, was tied in the snow to a tree, her child placed in the dooiway in her sight, and she was informed that if . she did not tell all . she -knew about the seizure of the Balt, both herself and the child would be allowed to perish. Houses were burned and torn down. All kinds of property was destroyed or car ried off. ; All the women and qfeildren of the Union men who were shot, and of thoß'e who escaped* were ordered by General Alfred E. Jackson, headquarters at Jonesboro, to be sent through the lines by way of Knoxville. When the first oLthem arrived at this place the officer in charge applied to Gen. Bonelson. (formerly speaker of the House of Representatives, at Nashville,) to know by which route they should be sent from there, whether v by Cumberland Gap or Nashville. Gen/ Bonelson immediately directed them, to be released and sent home, saying that such a thing was unknown in civilized countries.' They were then sent home, and all the; refugees met on the road were also turned back. ’, Tlie Battle with Morgan at Buflington Island, O. The scene of the b a life (writes a correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazelle) was one, of the most com posite, perhaps, in the ‘panorama ,of the war. The rebels were dressed in every possible manner pecu liar to civilized man, but generally speaking, their attire was veiy good. They wore in raany instances large slouch hats peculiar to the slave States, and had their pantaloons stuck in ; their boots. A dirty, giay-coloredcoat was the moat prevalent,' although white “ dusters” were to be Been.: They were armed with'carbines, Enfield rifles,, sabres, and were well mounted, and looked in good healtn, although jaded andtired. The battle-field .and -the roads surrounding it were strewn with athousand artioleß oeverseen, perhaps, on a battle-field before/ One is accustomed to see broken swords, muskets, and. bayonets, haversacks, cartridge-boxes, belts, gun-carriages, cais sons, cannon, wagons upset, wounded, dead; and dying on a battle-field : but beside all these'on the battle-field at Buffington Island; one could pick up almost any article in the dry-goods, hardware, house-furnishiDg, or ladies’ or gentlemen’s furnish ing line; bats, boota, gloves, knives, forks, spoons, calico, ribbons, dricking cups,;, buggies, carriages, market wagons, circus- wagons; and, ah almost end less variety of articles useful, and all more or less valuable. An inventory of Morgan’s plunder would tax the patience of an auctioneer’s-clerk, and I question if one man’s life would be long enough to :minutely catalogue the articles picked up during his raid. . : • The carnage of the. fieldV was not remarkable, although Uttle groupa of rebels were fouhd alaid by th£ deadly fragments of shell, RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. Difficulties in tile Church of England. • An English paper comments with considerable se- : verity upon the recent appointment,;by : the Duke of Newcastle, of Dr, Tower as Bishop of Gibraltar,on account of his being a Pußeyite. Indeed, one of the most fruitful chapters in. the religious news of the day is found in the troubles which now afflict the Church of England, the blows which, the latter is receiving from'her professed friends. . The* development iff Puseyism at Oxford about twenty years ago was the commencement of a series of in ternal maladies from which the Church has never re covered ; and the reaction towards Rationalism which Puseyism produced haß since been seen in the Oxioid Essays and Reviews, and in Colenso’a book on the Pentateuch, though it may be questioned whether either of these has given churchmen so great a Bhock rb the proposition recently made in,the House of. Commons to abolish the test of orthodoxy applied to clergymen, by relieving them from the necessity of subscribing to the thirty-nine articles before being received into holy orders. The main reason assigned for,this proposition is, that the ap plication of this test, (which is being made with much greater strictness now than formerly, in conse quence of the latitudinous turn that things have lately taken in the English Church,) is preventing very many of the brightest young men from taking orders, Mr. Buxton, who introduced this motion in the House of Commons, Btated the case thus: \ “ The falling off in the candidates for ordination from the universities was deplorable. Bythe recent returns, it appeared that in the last twenty years the number of young men from Oxford and Cam bridge, who. wished to take orders,'had fallen off from two hundred and forty-two to one hundred and J twenty at Oxford, and from two hundred and seventy'! to ope hundred and seventy .eight at Cambridge; while, on the other hand, the literates who had not received a university education had increased thfee , fold. . The falling off, if measured by the honors the candidates, had taken, was; still more remarkable. [Hear.] -It might' be ' alleged that - this falling .off was owing, not to theological, but to pecuni ary obstacles, but he wa,s assured by university men, who ought to know, that that was not the case. He held.in his hand a letter from an Ox ford mail, who would have been an ornament to the Church, and who wrote to him that he was but one of a large number who had reluctantly abandoned the intention of taking orders, and that it was the enforcement of these tests which , mainly drove men ■ away. The truth was, that owing to the ecclesias tical causes that had been tried and the judgments that had been delivered, the subscriptions had be come far more stringentthan formerly. The doctrines of the Church had unhappily grown more precisely .definite; and, meanwhile, men’s minds had been learning far greater daring in dealing: with truth, and uniformity of belief had becomeTevery day less possible. Be that good or evil, no folly could be greater than'that of trying to stay that r ßtir of mind with such wretched barriers as these. If the Church still required from'young men such an abnegation of all mental freedom, the worthiest would be the first to shrink from such a degrading bondage.” Bettiant Mission Chtjrch, South street, above Twenty- first, on Monday evening last presented an interesting scence. The children, ladies, and friends of the church came together with their offerings for our sick and wounded soldiers. Wines, jellies, pre serves, lemons, cakes, pickles, soap, lint, bandages, and other articles were brought in abundance, enough to fill seven or eight large boxes, besides a contribution of money amounting to nearly sixty dollara. ' Mr. Wannamacher, the-chairman, -opened the meeting with appropriate remarks,: and was fol lowed by the Rev. Mr. Marks, in a prayer on behalf of the good cause, invoking the divine blessing upon the efforts made to supply the wants of our suffering soldierß, up»n the country and its Cresident; also upon the army and navy, that, success might follow : their noble and self-sacrificing labors forthedeatruc tion of the rebellion. A hymn was then sung, and addresses were made by- Messrs, Sheppard, Grant, Weist, Seldomridge, and the pastor, Rev. Mr. Marks The first speaker, Mr.. J. B. Sheppard, said he had always believed, since the rebellion opened upon Fort Sumpter, that next to the honor, duty, and privilege of carrying the nmsketand sword, or standing by the cannon, in defence of the Government, was the honor, duty, and privilege of sustaining and encouraging, in every possible way, those who stand between us and the enemy. The children and members of Bethany Mission gave evidence that they appreciated these truths by their generous offerings. The other speakers had been laboring in the field at Gettysburg, assisting personally in alleviating the sufferings of the wounded and dying.. The scenes of the suffering and agony, as described, by them, which they witnessed, were of the most heart-rend ing character, and yet the universal-testimony was that no murmuringß or regrets were manifested ex cept on the part of the rebel wounded left in our hands, many of whom regretted that they had ever taken up arms against the Government, and said that should their lives be spared, they never would do so again. Many thrilling incidents were related, to show the unselfishness and true patriotism which in the main animate our soldiers. . Such exhibitions of actiye;patriotism are credita ble, and we are glad to find that this young and pros perous.church, with its paßtor -at the. head, is; ex- ’ presEing,.itself .in this practical way, and that so many of the churches of this city, of alljdenoraina tions, are making for themselves a similar record of honor and fidelity to the country and Government which God has given them to enjoy. A Pertinent Rebuke to Colenso. —There have been many rebukes administered to Bishop Colenso since the publication of his criticisms on the Penta teuch, among which there are none more pointed than that made by a Mohammedan priest, who writes from the Cape of Good Hope to a native paper published in the Turkish.language of Stamboui. The--Mueßulman reviews the manners and customs of the Christians of that Colony, and alludes spe cially to the religious dissensions among them. Their priests, he says, all advocate different creeds; and as totheir bishops, “one Colenso actually writes books against his own religion 1” Sermon ]jt tiießev.Dr, Ryland, op London. —lt will be seen, by one of our religious notices, that the Rev.

E. c; Ambler, chaplain of the 67th Penn sylvania Volunteers, was captured at the battle of Winchester, and is now a prisoner at Libby Prison, in Richmond. He say 3 there are six chaplains there, and they have prayers every morning and evening, and preaching on the Sabbath., The Proceedings op the United Presbyte rian General Assembly op Scotland show that denomination to be in a prosperous condition. It had a long discussion on the. subject of effecting a ; : union with the Free Church, and a resolution to ap point a committee, which is to meet a similar com mittee of the Free Church, in order to mature a plan of union, was adopted by an overwhelming majority. Re v. W. S. Hall, of this city, writes, under date of July 9:- “One of my sons, JohnF. Hall, lobl his right foot in the battle at Gettysburg last week. The poor, boy cheerfully made the sacrifice for his country and liberty. It has had no tendency to re concile him. to slavery.” Lutheranism «in Austria.— At the beginning ot thiß year a number of Lutheran and Reformed theologians issued, at Vienna, a new weekly church paper, called Protestantische Blaetler t which is to be the organ of the Evangelical Church of Austria. Rev. Wm. T.:Bunker, pastor of the Holmesburg, Pa., Baptist Church, has enlisted in the army for th’iee months, to render military service to his country in her hour of'peril. A new Baptist chapel, at Kensington, Eng land, recently erected by Sir Morton Peto, and of which the Rev. J. A. Spurgeon, a brother of the great Spurgeon, has just become minister, was late ly opened. Sir Morton intends to build three other chapels in London, at a cost (for the four) of $50,000. Of this the baronet will contribute one-half, on con dition that the Baptist Building Fund will lend the remainder, English Catholic iChurch at Florence.— A church has been; assigned by the Archbishop at Florence for the especial ÜBe of Catholics speaking English. For several years English Catholics have felt the loss of not having ah English priest settled at ! Florence. Through the kindness of bishop.it-will cease to exist. The Rev. R. Belany, formerly clergyman of the establishment, is to be • the resident priest; ' Persecutions op Evangelical Christians in Germany.— The Bavarian Protestant Consistory has ordered all clergymen to abstain from holding private meetings. The same authorities have stopped the edifying addresses which were delivered in the Deaconesses’ Institution at Spire, in Pals gravlate Bavaria. A young clergyman had lost all prospect of future preferment in the Church for . having printed a sermon in which he frankly advo cated ar.u explained the Evangelical truth of the Bible. The Bishop of London has set on foot a sub ecription to raise a million sterling, or five millions of dollars, in tea years, to relieve the spiritual desti tution of his diocese., The Bishop offers to give : $lOO,OOO of the sum required $lO,OOO annually for ten years. : This prelate is already doing a great work among the poor of London, and seems to be able to comprehend the fact that embroidered altar cloths and decorated churches are not the things that are going to save the world and give the Goßpel to the poor. . FRATERNIZATION—AII accounts agree that the Federal and rebel forces at Port Hudson, imme diately upon our occupation of ;the place, frater nized in the kindestpossible manner, apparently for getting entirely that they had ever been arrayed in hoslile columns. It. was precisely thus, also, at Yiclcsburg, at Gettysburg, and on every other-field where the men have been brought together in the hush or at the close of conflict. Those persons who are fond of insisting that the people of the South and those of • the North can never be reconciled or 'live together in peace when the war is,done and the spirit of rebellion is destroyed, will hardly find in facta like these we have cited a-confirmation of their argument. GETTYSBURG. —Wc learn, from one of our undertakers in town, that the number of coffins manufactured here for the transportation of the dead soldiers home by their friends, amounts proba bly to six or seven hundred already, and we presume this mournful business will be kept up for some time yeti The town is full of inquiring relatives for those near and dear to them. Some have to go away cheerless and,unsatisfied, the last restiug-place of their friends not being identified,, from the vast amount that were hurHed into their mother-earth, without a mark to tell who lies there. This is pain lul to a father/a mother, a-wife,-a sister; bfcit such is the inevitable consequence of a fearful And tre mendous battle, like that of the three days of Get tysburg..— Scnlwei.

Colonel Stott, our commander, is a Ohester-county man, a gentleman of fine military bearing, and. apparently about twenty-three years old. The men composing the'regiment are princi pally from Chester and Montgomery counties. The officers very kindly left.it to the men whether or not this unlooked-for service would be agreeable, and the almost unanimous desire was to perform what ever was asked of them by their commander-in-chief, notwithstanding most of them are here at great sa crifice to'families and business. This particular part of Marylan d is in very fine condition, and vegetation is .remarkably'luxuriant. The canal will be in run ning order in ■ about'. Ibreeweeks.\ Clear Spring affords an abundance of first-rate drinking water for the inen, and the -Potomac, for bathing, just here, is unsurpassed. The men marched as many as eighteen miles a day, carrying ammunition, tents, &c., which, for green troops, is remarkable at this time of year.

Camp xkak Clear Spuixo, Sid.. Potomac Hirer,- July 22, 1803. THE FREED MEN IN SOUTH CAROLINA.— A gentleman recently from the Department of South Carolina communicates some interesting facts with regard to the condition of the freedmen on the Sea Islands. - The conscription has taken a large por tion of the able-bodied male negroes, and the others have been left bylGovernment to Bhiffc for them selves, aid being furnished only in case of great des titution. This they are doing, and they show much industry,tact, and perseverance. The plantations and garden patches which they lease from the Go vernment are well cultivated, and will be quite pro ductive. There is on Lady’s Island a plantation, which is owned by the negroeß who work it. It was purchased at Government sale, last year, by a gen tleman who sold itto the negroes at cost, viz: $4OO. They paid oße half of the purchase money down, and the balance will be paid from the crop now in the ground., The plantation is worked by seven men, eight women, six boys, and one girl, who also support an old man, and twelve boys and six girls who attend school. They have planted three acres of groundnuts, four and one half acres of peas, fifty acres of corn, sixty-three and one half acres of cot ton, six acres of potatoes, and one and one half acres of rice. The crops are now growing finely, and no farm in New England is more free from weeds. They have one mule and two horses, and will produce two years’supply of provisions beside the cotton, rice, and other articles which they will have to sell. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THE MONBY'MARKET, Philadelphia, July 24,1863, There is no change in the position of the market; the supply is largely in excess of the demand, and, from present appearances, this will last for some; time. Large amounts are freely, offered at4@s*ffT cent., 6 being paid in some cases. A great plenitude of money engenders speculation) and the‘main body of operators will go into the stock market, as affording them the readiest means of turning their money. Gold will not be generally adopted as a medium of profit, except in times of doubtful war matters, as, when everything is prosperous with us in the field, gold must always prove a losing specu lation. On the contrary, stocks will maintain, as they have done, at least their present prices,-owing to the enormouß amount of money afloat, and no thing short of a great financial revulsion will cause "a heavy and continued decline in prices. Some time ago we took occasion to say that the influ ences which governed gold were entirely lost upon the stock market, and a decline of 50 if cent, in gold failing to move the stock market, has pretty clearly proved that the position we then took was correct. According to some au thorities, paper issues were to be the ruin of the nation 3 prices were to be inflated 3 prices were in flated: and as soon as the war seemed likely to terminate the bottom was to fall out of everything, and general decay prevail. But here we have had important and decisive victories 3 gold has declined •to within twenty-flve peivcent. of .par, while stocks are firmly maintained, and in many cases have lately largelyadvanced. Paper issues, in truth, were exactly what this country required to make it the greatest manufacturing and producing country in the world. The riches of Western soil have been converted into solid wealth in the commercial me tropolis* and sent hack again to build factories and mills, which increase and encourage still further the producing fraternity. Instead of a curse, they will yet prove a blessing; and though we may now deplore thenecessity which forced legal-tenders upon us, when, a few years from now, we review the vast increase in our business capacity, and the great rise of our prosperity, we shall have but little to regret. Secession will jpet prove to be accession, and the Confederacy may only be the. instrument to pro perly develop the resources of the greatest nation of the.earth.
