TO
- 2 - 4 LAST i I=THE PERFECTION OF SEWING MA
CHINES.—SAMPLES OF .THE CELERR &TED FLO
RENCE SEWING MACHINES can be' seen at No: 439
CHESTNUT Street (second floor), where all persons in
terested in sewing machines are invited to call and exa
mine this wonderful Machine.
It bas=been the object of the FLORENCE SEWING
MACHRMCOMPANY to supply a machine free from
the ob.) lions attached to other first-class machine., and
after:thbypatient, untiring labor ofio ears and a liberal
expenditure of capital in securing the first mechanical
talent, their efforts have been crowned:with snores,. and
they are now offering to the nnblic the MOST PERFECT
SEWING MACRINE IN THE WORLD. Among its
many advantages over - all other machines, may be mem
tinned :
lst. It makes four different stitches on one and the
same machine., each 'stitch being perfect and alike on
both shies of the fabric. • •
. .
2d. .
Changing from. .
one kind of stitch to another, as
well as the length ofthe stitch, can readily be done while
the machine is in motion. .
3d. Ecery , stitalt is per fect in 7teelf, making the seam
secure and uniform, combining elasticity, strength and
beauty.
4th. it has the reversible feed motion; which enables
the operator to run the work to either the right or left,.
or stay any pa7t of the seam, or fasten the ends of eeame
without turning the fabric or stopping the machine.
sth. It is tire most rapid sewer in the World. making
five 'stitches to each revolotlon, and:there is no other
machine which will do so ilAige a range of work as the
FLORENCE.
-
6th. It done the heaviest - oF.fin - e s sf OcrkTzititli equal fa
cility; without change of tension or breaking of thread.
7th. It:hems:Tells; binds, gathers: braids, quilts, and
gathers and sews on a ruffle at the same time.
. . .. . . . . .. ... .. . .- ..
Bth. Its simplicity enali es the most inexperienced to
operate it. Its motions are all positive. and, there are
no fine springs to get out of order. and it is adapted to
all kinds of cloth-work, from thick - to thin, and is al
mostnniselesw,
,
Pi h. The FLORENCE SEWING MACHINE le unequal
led in beauty and style. and must be seen to be appre-
Mated. . .

DRAB Sra Durinl the night of May 19,15&4. our Gro

streets, took fire at about 2 o'clock A. M., and as the
store was a two-story wood building it barnt rapidly,
and before the Are•engines could act noon the fire, our
whole stock of goods, including much combustible ma
terial, and-amounting.to over f62.NP, were wholly ds.
etroyed. We had one of your No. 11 Chilled Iron Safes t
which was in the hottest part of the fire, andlit case out
of the fire not in the least injured, except the melting of
of the name, plateand paint.- The- contents inside, wers

Pennsylvania Honors a Gallant Soldier
Pr&sentation of a Sword to Gen. Meade
Speeches of Gen. Meade, Gen. Crawford,
Hong A. G. Curtin, Hon. MortOn McMi
chael, J. W. Forney, and others.
(From the Daily Chronicle.]
Friday, Pie 28th of August, will mark one of - the
most important and interesting eras in the history .
Of the Reserve Corps of Pennsylvania, which has
been attached to and partioipated in nearly all ofsthe
conspicuous engagements of the Army of the Poto
mac since the date •of its organization. Intended
originally specially for the defence of the Keystone
State, its services were tendered to the Government
.-at a critical period in the history of thiif War, early
in the fall of 1861. Since that time it has probably
performed more active duty.than
,any single divi
sion in the army; and its decimated ranks fully ,
attest the bra Very of its Soldiers. - The Reserves; at
the commencement, mustered fifteen thousand men,
and have now been reduced to, not much more than
one•third that number. History will- point with
pride to that initial battle of the campaign, at Dranes.
ville, where a portion of. these troops met and van
quished the rebel foe; and Gaines' Hill, Malvern
11111, , New•Market Cross Roads, Bull Run (the se
cond), South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg,
and Gettysburg, have each added" new laurels to;the
- highest eminteheon they/CaYe, so -nehly - andegliape
Ously . achieved.' - . : . - . ... - e
Major General George G. Meade, upon the orga
nization of -thie corps, was assigned to the command
of the ed Brigade, and in that position, by hist cour
teous bearing, strict discipline, and the unceasing
attention he bestowed to the wants and comforts-of
hie men, gained a hold upon their affections and
esteem, which has ripened into the highest admire,-
tion for his talents as a leader, an officer, and 'a
tried, trusted, and worthy friend. Being desirous
to show some substantial token of their
that triendehip,
and one might be ever cherished by General ,
Mead'e and his posterity, the officers of the Penn
sylvania Reserve Corps months ago conceived the
idea of presenting him with a sword. This tribute
hag been in readiness' for some time, but the cere
mony was delayed until Friday last, on account of
' the activity of the movements of the army. The
sword Vas manufactured by Messrs. Bailey & Co.,
at Philadelphia, and is one of the most exquisite
pieces - of workmanship we -have ever seen. It is
accompanied by a handsome sash, belt, and pair of
spurs. The blade is of the finest Damascus steel,
and the two scabbards and spurs manufactured of
pure gold. On one of the scabbards on a tablet, we
noticed the folldwing inscription:
"Mechanicsville, Gaines'_ Hill, New. Market Grose
Roads, Malvern Hill, Bull Run i(eecond), South
Mciuntain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellor.
ville, Gettysiburge ,
Near the hilt, inlaid in blue enamel and gold, with
precious diamonds, are the initiate of the General,
'G. G. Mt' The handle of the sword is Most ex
quisitely chased, and encircled with a row of opals,
amethysts, rubies, and other rare jewels, while a
highly wrought and elaborately finished representa
tion of an American eagle forms - the apex. The
belt, sash, and spurs are also manufactured in, the
finest style imaginable. The soldiers of the Reserve
Corps have also presented to the relatives of the la.
merited General John F. Reynolds, who fora con
siderable period commanded the division, and who ,
so gallantly fought and fell at Gettysburg, a simi
lar tribute.
As we before stated, it was finally arranged that
the so-long.deferred ceremony of presenting the
sword to General Meade should take place on Fri
day last, at the headquarters of the Pennsylvania
Reserve. Corps. They are now commanded by Gen ,
eral Sam. Wiley Crawford, ' a native of Franklin
county Pennsylvania, and at the time of the break
ing out the war a surgeon in the regular army.
General Crawford was one of the seventy men who,
with General Anderson, so long occupied Pert-Sump
- ter,'and were finally compelled to surrender to the
overwhelming force of the rebels. Immediately
after the surrender of Sumpter, on his arrival at
Washington, General Crawford wee appointed' a
major in the regular army for hie services at that
point, and, was made a brigadier general at- the' re
quest of General Rosecrans, and at the battles of
South Mountain, Antietam, and , Gettysburg, hair
proved himself to be a most efficient commander.
The arrangements for the presentation were in
every. respect admirable, impressive ,
and novel.
Invitationa having been extended to Cievernor A..
G. Curtin and suite, and a large' number of die
tinguiehed citizens of Pennsylvania, the party pro
' seeded by special train at twelVe o'clockeen-Friday
to the head of the army. The train, which had bees
furniahed by Colonel D. S. MeCalum, conceded to be
thB beat military superintendent of railroads in the
United States, consisted of three cars, and everything
had been done to enhance the comfort of the party:
- ' The engine endears were beautifullydecprated with
bunting, 'evergreens,. pictures, and flags: On the
front of the engine was a fine portrait of General
-- Meade, while the sides of the cars had the names Of ,
our recent, victories: Port Hudson,- Gettysburg,
Vickeburg, Et e. , encircled with handsome. wreeths
of evergreens. Govern or.Curthe was accompanied'
by Adjutant General Rfisselleof his-Staff; Wayne
ItleYeagh, EN , chairman of -the Republican-State
Committee, Hon. Morton McMichael, oPtlie 'Pirtle,
delphia North American., Hon, Henry o:Carey, Hon. '
John Covode, L. A.: Godey, Major P. R. Frees, of
the Germantown Telegraph,. Colonel .Tanfeel Morral,..
of Harrisburg, Major General HeintzleininiG"eneral
eltleigseGeneral Ingalls, Colonel R. lettidle Roberta;
• -Colonel J. H.,Pulesten, Hon. J. W. FOrney, Dr: Me
Brodhead, and a large number of civilians and car
reepondents. AtAlexandria a - delegation of oflinere
- attached to the 2d Brigade Pennsylvania Reserves,
Colonel H. G. Sickles, joined the party. Points of
interest along the route were explained; and at Fair- , I
fax, Claggett's Station,"and at Warrenton Junction
"troops were drawn up in line, and gave the salute as
the train whirled by. or halted fon an instant.
The train reached Baltimore station about three
o'clonle in the afternoon, where ambulances were in .
readffiess to convey the visitors - to headquarters:
some three miles distant. As they approached the
headquarters of General-Crawford we observed Ge
e.neral Meade advancing from an opposite direction,
escorted by several corps commanders and their re
.' epeetive staffs, and officers of- the- Reserve Corps;
moiinted, bearing with themthe: tattered and blood
stained flags which they have so proudly borne from
-many hard fights, hotly-contested and victorlons bat
tleffields. ' A splendid view was presented at the
- headquarters of . General . Crawford. Triumphal
arches had been thrown up, neatly covered with
evergreens, hung with wreaths , and, surmounted
with the Maltese cross, the insignia of the
corps, and rustic arbors., and seats were arranged
• under the fine old trees encircling the mansion.
The tents of the General and his staff, and aloe one
intended for the special accommodation of Governor
Curtin, were highly ornamented. The stand from
which the presentation took place was • covered
with a Gothic cedar arch, under which the American
flag was'gracefully festooned, and a fine representa
tion of the American eagle, composed entirely of -
cedar, capped the arch and attracted a good deal of
• attention. The arrangement of these decorations
was made under the immediate superintendence and
upon the designs of Captain" Auctimuty, .adjutant .
general of the Pennaylvania Reserye Corps, and a
practiced landscape gardener, one of the bravest,
most patriotic, and most experienced soldiers in the
great struggle. The effect of these decorations, the
. spenraetry' and grace of the various arches, arbors;
and grottoes, was indescribably fine. •
Among the distinguished military characters pre.
Sent, in addition to ' those we have already, men-
Boned, were Major Generals French, Pleasanton,
Warren, Sykes, Newton, and Humphreys ; Briga
dier Generale-Slough, Robinson, and Griffin; Colo
' nels Knox, McDonough; Majors Barnes, Kaufman,
Ayers; and among the captains are noticed Captains
Beatty, John Belly, Sherwood, 0. Rourke e Lieu
tenants Harvey, Clough, Palmer, and others. i,
~
The two fine bands connected with the Penn
eylvania Reserve Corps were on the ground, and per
formed some delightful music.
After an hour spent in introductions'and mutual
congratulations, Generals Meade, Crawford; and a
number of colonels of the Reserves ascended the
platforni. At this time a most striking" sPectable
was. presented. The crowds of officers _that mut , - .
rounded the ivy-covered stand, and the large number
.of privates drawn up regularly In lines outside of
the enclosure, with the cavalry in the rear with their
flags and guidoes ; the delicious breeze, the splen
did autumnal panorama, and the expanse showing a
•wide, level plain, extending for miles; the cluing •

Meade walked upon the platform, his eagle glance,
his fine and erect figure, made him an object °Cunt-.

of the Army of the Potomac aa follows :

wi..l ,vindiemb me, that no 'division in this , glorious
Ailey of the Potonsac-glorious as I conceive it to be-is ;
entitled to claim more credit for its uniform gallant con
duct And for the amount of hard fighting it has gone

myself in this. It is not of my Own personal services
that I would, speak, but of the services of the soldiers-
of the private.: of the Pennsylvania Reserve -Corns
- fel eers3-and -I have only to appeal to Dranesville;
where
m the first enocese that, crown d the, arms of the

,- by a single brigade of the Pennsylvania .Reserves.-
. • [Cheers ] I have only to refer to Mechantesville; where

tbe whole of Lonystreet's corps was bald in check for save.'
ral hours and victory really won by only two brigades of.
the Reserves [Cheers , ] I refer you to New Market Cross

selves ^and svhose statements have sincelmen proved
incorrect, brought charm againoi this division OA WO
occasion. I was with the divieion during the whole
fight and until dark, when it pleased God that I should
be shot down and carried off the field. F have beam told
that-the diviaion•ran off, but I know that I staid with.
It until it wee. dark, and my men were engaged ida ,
Mend-to- hand contest over ths batteries with the enemy.
(Cheers.] I do not say that there were not some who'
ran away, but that is nothing singular. There are cow
ards in every division; there are bad men in every corps
I do say, however, that the large body of the gallant men
of the Pennsylvania Reserves remained on the field until
dark, and did not. leave it until the enemy had
retired. Those tun% Were never captured, from them:
[Loud cheers .1. They remained on the field, and
were not taken .until 10 o'clock the next day. I
refer to South - Mountain, and it is not necessary
for me to. Say much of their conduct there. for
their gallant' ascent of the height in the face .of the
enern-F. - and turning their left dank..was witnessed
by. the commanding. general, and they received full
crbdit for it. [Cheers.) I speak of Antietam, where,
on the 16th of heptember, the Pennsylvania Reaerve,
Corps, always in the advance, boldly attacked that por
tion of the Contederate - army in its front without know
ing its etrengtht s ,and .continued to drive it until dark,
and then held the position it had gained until the morn
ing. when the 'Attie. was renewed [Cheers.] I speak
again or Fredericksburg, where, the Pennsylvania Re
serve Corps cictssea and led the advance, unaided and
alone, up ,the heights, and held .their position for half
an hour while the others crossed. Had they been fol
lowed and supported by other troops, their courage that
day would have won a victory. [Cheers.] I repeat,
therefore, that I. have a right to , be proud and grateful
when the officers and men of anch a command, who
can with truth point to a hard-earned and dearly
bought record .of bright deeds. present me. who
have had the - . hotter of commanding them, with such
a testimonial. [Applause.) While, however. I - give
expression to . these feelings.they are not nnmingled with
others of a sad, and mournful nature as I loo'. around
3on and rellec4that so many of the brave officers and
soldiers who. originally composed this division sleep
their last sleep; and that others have been obliged to r
turn-home crippled and maimed for life. It is terrible to
think that therembould be any necessity for eo'much mis
fortune and , misery ! Sad, that in this conntry,a land
flowing with milk and honey, and in. which we are all
brothers, we shout&•raise our arms against each other,
and such scenes should be enacted eel have been a par
ticipant hr' sad that there should be an occasion
like the present,-and a necessity for the presentation of
a testimonial snch, as this. These are sad, sad thoughts
to me, bufmArthe some 'time' I am sustained in my bre
'sent position hy
,a conscionsuessethat I am acting from
, higto and - - ..laToper sense of my duty to toy country.
[Cheers: ]ftlraris impossible that this great coun

Govenanientart'= or two flags, . on this continent.

I trust that ev Ey yoyal man would be willing to sacri
fice his life before he would consent to have more than
one Government and one flag wave over the whole terri
tory of the United States. [Loud applause.] -This-re
union; genthanien;awakens in my heart new sorrow for

[Cheers.] ,Inannot receive this sword without thinking
of that officer: When he fell at Gettysburg , leading the
advance, I lost not only a lieutenant of the utmost im

even a brother. iCheers.] 1 m i re other faces which were
familiar to me in your midst—McNeil and Taylor, of the
Rides; Simmons. of the 6th; young Kahn, who came
from Philadelphia to assist me in the field; Delione, of
Massachusetts, and a host of others whole memory you
all cherish. -
It is oppressive for some gentlemen to go over the list
of these officers who have been sacrificed; but if I could
rememberand'name every soldier of your divieion that
has fallen,-what a long list and what a trying recital it
would be to ns all! How many men who once belonged
to the .Pennsylvania Reserve Corps now sleep in' the
grave, or are lingering on earth, joyfully expecting
death to end their sufferings!
I thank you, General Crawford, for the kind manner

come so far to'be present I trust.' sir, this sword will
be required but a short time longer. ' , Affairs and events
now look as if this unhappy war might be brought

satisfied that their struggle is only smatter of time, as
we have the force on our side, and that as coo r a, they

will yield. Permit me, before I close, to mention what
I intended to refer to before this, but, it escaped my me

and could always be relied on in the hour and post of
danger. I expected that this would-be . the case. but it
was particularly' gratifying to ale to hear it from your

for your gallantry, there, and again thanking you for
your kindness. .I will conclude.
Three hearty cheers were given for General Meade.

After these interesting amitaornorableeeremonier,
the whole company proceeded to the splendidenter
tainment which had been prepared under the auspi
ces of the committee appointed sometime ego: Here
we were, nearly sixty miles fitior the city of Wash
ington, in the midst of a camp,. and within cannon's
shot of the enemy's linbs, participating in =Apt,
Man repast, which reminded urthat the brave men
of the Reserves were resolved to•ehow their friends
from Pennsylvania, and other States; that they (hail
not forgotten either the necessaries or the luxuries
of life. A celebrated caterer from Philadelphia had
been engaged, and every conceivable delicacy wne
spread beneath a spacious . pavilion, most bril
liantly illuminated. While this lavish and gorge
ous festival was proceeding, the grounds- were
lighted with many:colored lanterns,• inscribed'
with the Constitution and the Union, forming
Maltese crosses; presenting a scene of oriental splen- •
dor, and a most dramatic effect. The lights • dis-
played to the gaze or the assembled multittrde the old
battle•flags of the Reserves, .(was planted "on the
grounds), which they have carried in nearly every
action from the beginning of the war, each one 'in
scribed with the battle-fields over which they had
floated in letters of shining old: Speeches,eongs,
music, cheers for the Union, cheers for Curtin, cheers
for the President and his- Cabinet, cheers for Mks

of Charleston, cheers for the Speedy closing of the •
war, cheers for the Army of the - Potomac, cheers for
old Pennsylvania, produced a scene of indescribable
enthusiasm.
The readers of this sketch may well ask where
the money for this generous •tribute to the Reserveg,
and to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the
Potomac was raised, and they will be gratified and
surprised when.we inform them ; it was the result of
the spontaneous contributions . of the officers of the
Reserves, who seemed resolved to showi not alone
their fidelity to the cause In which they had suffered;
and in which they had served so long, but that they
had a right to commemorate one occasion so signi
ficant as to the future, and so full of vivid and
grateful recollectione of the past. The entire en
tertainment, including the very ice, was prepared in
and transported over the railroad from Philadelphia,
thus making the whole an exclusively Pennsylvania
affair. About ten 'o'clock the ambulances were in
readiness, and the company were carried safely to
the railroad depet, some three miles distant, where
the cars were speedily occupied, and under the care
ful guidance of Colonel hlcOallum, were trans
ported to Washington, where they arrived a little
after two o'clock yesterday morning. All things
considered, whether with reference to the appoint
ments and liberality of the military entertainers,
and the significance and eloquence of the speeches;
and the patriotism of the officers and men, and the
fact that not a single accident or disagreement
marred the pleaaures of the day, Friday, the 28th of
August, 1863, may well be recorded as among the
most pleasant and profitable events of this great
war for the preservation of the American Union:
The Massacre at Lawrence, Kansas—De
tails by an Eye ...witness.
groat the Leavenworth -Bulletin, August 22.)
STATEMENT OF WM, IrEbIFF.
We publish the following statement written for
the Bulletin by Mr. Keiffpf, an attache of the pro
vostmarshaPs office, at Lawrence. It teas written
hurriedly ; giving simply
_plain facts as witnessed
by him. His escape from death was miraculous
Yesterday, the 21st of August, about 4g o'clock,
the citizens of Lawrence were 'surprised to hear a
body, of cavalry ride rapidly towards the Kansas
river. As soon as the first of these men reached
the river, by Massachusetts street and the streets
east and west of it, they raised a shout, which was
repeated down the streets as far as it was possible
to hear. The citizens, startled by the noise, rushed
into the streets to ascertain the cause. Many of the
citizens were then shot down. With the quickness
of lightning the news spread over town that the ac
cursed Quantrel, with his bushwackers, was in town.
The surprise was so complete that it was utterly im
possible for the citizens to undertake anything what
ever for their defence. The few who heroically ran
out with their guns were quickly murdered, as were,
in fact, all who showed themselves during the first
half hour:_ The hills above and the woods below
'-the town were .well guarded by guerillas, so
that it was impossible for persons living on-the
outskirts of town to make their escape. Everything
was done by command, or well understood before.
' hand by these murderers. After -they had spread
over town, they commenced to plunder in the most
deliberate manner conceivable. Every store was
broken open-by a few men, guarded against surprise
from the inside.- The first thing they looked after
was the safe, then everything else of value. Every
safe was burst open. when they could not get the
key; but they - were so well informed about every;
. thing, that they went, in several instances,- to the
private residences of. persons, demanding the keys
for the safes in the stores. Well-informed citizens
think they took three hundred thousand dollars in
cash along with them. It would seem they took
more. They had been in town- some time before
they commenced burning the buildings.
The imnateeof the Eldridge House were roused
up by, somebody violently beating the gong. Most
of . them soon assembled-in , the hall, and it was found
that not an arm was in the house. Captain Banks
told them the belt thing they could do was to sur
render, and, this being agreed upon, took a white
sheet and waved it from the balcony. This was
greeted by a universal shout front the guerillas.
The commander_ of the bushwhackers around the
house askeci - ,Captain..B. farr3orreurrendes this
henget" "We do, and licipe-you-will.treat our wo-.
men and 'children with deeency. l l - To this the rebels
agreed, and Captain B. asked for Colonel Quantrel.
Quantrel was sent for, and soon came. He asked
Captain B. whether he - was a Federal officer, and,
being answered in -the affirmative, aSsured Captain
B. that they would all be treated as prisoners, and
should not be-molested. They were all searched,
and everything valuable taken away from them—
even the finger-rings of:men and women. The
whole house was ransacked, and everything valua
ble taken out by the guerillas. The prisoners were
marched over to the Whitney House, and there
guarded.
By this time most of the plunder had been secured
on horses driven together froniall ports of the town.
The safes had all been broken open, some blown up,
by powder, others deliberately chiseled open. They
picked out the horses,.only retaining the best, and
driving the poorer ones oft
At about seven o'clock they set fire to the court
house. We. heard several - exploaions, which, at a,
distance, would have been taken for cannon shots.
We heard some persons coming down the street,
commanding their friends to burn the stores; and
we soon heard the cracking of the fire, and saw most
of the buildings east ands west of us wrapped in
flames. To the south, we could not seefrom the
houses we-were in.
During all this time- eitizene were being murdered
everywhere. Germans. and negroes, when caught,, ,
were shot immediately. Many, persons were shot
down after they , had been taken prisoners, and had
been assured that they would not be hurt if they
would surrender. Messrs. Trask and Baker and
to o - other citizens- were so, taken, and while being
marched toward the river as prisoners, after being
assured that they would not be harmed, some guerii-
las asked their names. Mr. Trask.gave the names,
when they were immediately fired upon, and all
four killed on the. spot,except Mr. Baker, who is
not expacted to live, however. Mr. Dix had been=;
taken prisoner, and his house set fin fire, when one
of the told hint if he would give them Ms -
money he would not be- killed, otherwise he would.
Mr. Dix-. wentr k into. the' burning house and got
a thousand dollars and handed it over. He was
told, to niarek toward the river, and had
not proceeded, twenty- stens when, he was shot-.
dead from behind. Mr. Rawson,. clerk of. the -
provost marshal, bad a revolver andtried to defend
the. few things he had saved from the I efferson
House. His-wife interfered,"and theiy told him if he
would surrender he should be treated as a prisoner,
and be safe. from. harm. He surrendered, and was
immediately. shot from behind, the ball entering near.
the spine.and coming out below thmkidneys in front. -
The.wound is not considered fatal.
'none instanse the wife and daughter of a man
threw themselves over his body, begging-for his
life. Butone of . the mtuterers. deliberately thrust
his revolver down between the two women and

we recognized some of them. In handling the dead

and sickening work.. Many could not help.,erying

AT THE PADRIDGIC !OUSE
One of the first plates .surrourided wan the Eldp

render before firing into it. After a stunt consults.,
tion the empanta ooncludod to surrender, and a,
white flag,(eheet) appeared from the balcony, which,
was greeted with .cheers. Quantrel was sent for
and made his itgpearance. On . being, asked what
were hois intentkns, he replied a plUnder." He.
finally agreed test they should be protected, and
gave them an escort tea place of safety. The
Mat-named place not being found safe on- no
coun,t of indiscriminate shooting . by the men,.
Quantrel allowed them to go to. the Whit
ney House, bept by Mr. Stone. Quantrel said Mr.
S. once saved his lira,and he was' not the. man to
forget past favors. s soon as the Eldridge Was
eurrentlered, the house Was searched, The inmates
of the rooms were aroused from their beds, and their
money, - jsvrelry, and other valuables demanded of
them. Some gentlemen from Obi°, who occupied
ore room, were not as expeditious as the guerillas
desired, and they commeneed firing through the
dopr.. One ball took effect in the calf or the leg of
one of them. This name man was again shot through
the shoulder, but is now doing well at the liter
ebnnts, in this city. The safe was robbed of its
contents. Soon' alter the building was destroyed,
whether it war fired or caught from the adjoining
building, we have not heard. It is supposed that a
gentleman who has been connected with L. Leven
eon & Co., who had a store underneath, was burned.
BOENES AT TEE 'WHITNEY HOMO
After the second move, the Eldridge House party,
which•numbered about sixty, were safely,' as they
supposed, located in the Whitney House. Quantrel
had Meseta this place for his headquarters, and
swore be would shoot any one of his men who at
tempted to molest any of them. Many people, know
ing this ,
slipped in and were saved. One brute came
up on his horse, while the party were goingfrom one
place to the , other, and was told by - one of Quan
treys head men; named Porter, that he would kill
him, if he did not dryup. Everything went on very
well while quautrel was there; he promised that he
would be the last man to leave town, and none of
his men !should return. He took a lunch, and dually
ordered the command to move out of the city, which
they did. After mounting his horse, he lifted his
hat to the ladies, and, bowing politely, said:
" Ladles, I now bid you good morning. I hope, when
we meet again, it will be under more favorable
circumstances," Putting spurs to his horse,'he was
soon out of sight. 'He was dressed In a dark-colored
shirt, blue blouse, and had on a black hat. After

MEMO
There were many heroic - deeda peribrined by the
ladies. In many instances they placed thensselves
between their huahanda and fathers`and' danger,
when the drunken fiends held cocked pistobrat them.
One ladywe bear spoken of and deserves-particular
mention :•ber name is Miss- Lydia - Stone, daughter
of the landlord of the Whitney House. She
round through the crowd, doing alkshe could'to al
leviate the suffering. The dead body, of one person
was on fire, and she at once procured water and: put
it out, When the- scoundrels. came back. s-second
time, saying they would kill some one, she replied
that " they might aswell kill me asanybody."' He
roic deeds were performed by other ladiegrovhose
names have escaped us.
One of the most cowardly acts was the shooting , at
men, women, and children as-they passed' downlink.

There is no doubt that Quantrel had spies at

as guide, and pointed out prominent men andthinge.
One fellow got Captain Banks'Uniform, andluede
quite a display with - it:
- A:riding party of two ladies audgentlemen were
metjust outside the city, and compelled to.go backs
Quantreli invited the ladies to ride beside him into..
the city, and they did so.
Gen. Collamore was-suffocated to deathhydamps
in his well. When he first discovered' the guerillas ,
in town, .he went into the well,.and:his• hired man,.
named Keith, covered it up ;:after the trouble was
over the man went to the well andloundthe general'
at the bottoni. He went down and' unfortunately
met the same fate. A neighbor, named Lowe, pass—
ing along, went down to rescue both of them, and ,
was also suffocated. "
It was peculiarly noticeable that - the ' - fury of - the

The Riot at Danville, Illinois.
MURDER OH AN OLD CITIZEN-ATROCIOUS CRUELTY
[FrODI the Lafayette Courier.)
From various reliable sources, we are in posses
sion oft, the- facts touching the Danville riot. On
Friday last, Col. HaWkins; of the 2d 'Tennessee-ca
valry, removed a butternut pin from the coat collar •
of a Copperhead named Payne, a brother of the she.;
riff of the county. The act was witnessed by a num- -
ber of citizens of both parties. Much excitement
and ill blood had been engendered for a week or ten
days previous, by the offensive- display of the tree- -
amiable emblem. One or two Copperhead bullies
had thrust them defiantly in the faces of the Union •
men, and dared them to touch them. The leading
Union men had advised forbearance, and were de
termined to 'exhaust every expedient to keep the-
peace. The moment the Colonel had removed the
offensive emblem, he was surrounded by a number
of Unionists, and borne out of the crowd, the object
being to prevent a row; Payne rushed into the
street and gathered up a atone. Findiug Col.
Hawkins had been removed beyond his reack , he
aimed the stone at Col. Guinup, who was standing
near. Cola G., though generally obnoxious to all
Copperheads,- and a natural-born foe to all traitors,-
had made no-demonstration. Hence the attack imon
him was wholly without provocation. The stone:
strfick him a glancing blow on the temple, stunned •
.buttlid not fell him, and rushing upon Payne, .he
closed with him, and throwing him to the ground, •
gave him a terrible beating. Friends on both sides
interfered, but there was no further collision. This
wail on Friday.
The excitement continued unabated,however,and •
Was intensified by arrests and arraignments on both '
sides before the Union and Copperhead "squires."
The Copperhead "squire" fined Hawkins for re
moving the butternut pin, and the Union squire"
fined Payne for throwing" the stone. Col: Aawkins
had `an appointment to speak at the Fair Grounds
on Saturday. The Copperheads swore in their
wrath that he should not, and the leading-Union
men, anxious to preserve the peace, persuaded him
to postpone his speech. On Saturday, however, a
great many people.came in from the country to hear
Hawkins, and insisted upon his speakint. He ac- -
cordingly addressed them at the Fair Grounds, as
cording to his own appointment. There was no
disturbance, but the Copperheads swore vengeance
in curses not loud but deep. Saturday and Sunday
passed without any open demonstration, though
there were evidences on hand of "something going
on" among.the Copperheads; Horsemen cameolat.
tering into town after midnight, signal shots were
heard at intervals until after daylight in the direc
tion- of •the -mines.- The Union men were-cool and
collected. They had been so clearly in the right,
and had sacrificed so much for the sake of peace,
that forbearance had ceased to be a virtue, and,
maintaining the defensive, they 'were prepared for
anything that might transpire.
On Monday morning, before daylight, the:signal
guns were more frequent, and lights were observed
in the houses of well-known Copperheadaresiding
in the town. Before 10 o'clock rumors were rife of- ,
a grand rally of. the K.:G. C.'s a few -miles distant,
and about noon they came marching into the town
in regular line of battle, armed with shotguns, rifles,
picks, axes, shovels, spades,- clubs, .correcutters,..
hatchets, An& every conceivable weapon. Three-,
fourths of the motley army were coal diggers. They
marched to the public square. The -Union-men, in
order lo gain time, ertered into a protracted negotia-..
'Lien, in which they agreed to deliver up certain lead- •
ing Unionists who wereespecially obnoxiousto the •
Copperheads. This, of course, was a ruse -to gain
time, and ,the - leading rebels, suspecting as much,
precipitated a collision. It was not positivelyknown
which fired the first shot-they began and followed •
in such- quick succession. Payne r the Original ,
cause of- the difficulty, fell, pierced through the
heart at the .first discharge. The Copperheads fired
wildly and. at random, while. the ,Union men took
deliberate-aim, and mete up in accuraey what they .
lacked in' numbers. Myers another Copperhead,.
was shot through the heart, and ran about. a .hun-,
dred yards, when he fell down and expired. • An
Irishman, whose name our informant did not learn,
wart . also. killed. Others were wounded., Shortly
after Payne received his quietus, his-brother,-
who is- the sheriff of the eouhty, and a virulent:
Copperhead, was wounded in -the arm.. The. pro
vost marshal attempted to summon a po4se
quell the disturbance. William Lamb, an and. ,
highly-esteemed citizen, and a leading merchant,
was summoned among - others. He .was armed.,
for the defence of his family and property against••
the raid which- hat been threatened der two claye,.
but up to this-moment had taken- no part. He ad
vanced toward the curkstone,swhen a well-known-
Copperhead, whose name we have forgotten, took:
deliberate aim and shot him.through the. heart. He .
fell and instantly expired.- Here we record on act
of atrocity akin to the inhuman butchery of ,Col.
O'Brien by a issutal mob in the streets of New York,.
but without another parallel outside of rebel-lona-
While lie lay. dead and motionless upon the ground ;
.he was shot a-sees:sad time, and after. this another
Copperhead came up witka huge club and crushed)
the head of the corpse by a-tremendous blow.
Colonel Hawkins had a finger shot off.- Colonel,
Gulnup seemed to bear a charmed life. Ho was In t
the. thickest of the fight, but escaped witha slight',
scfatch from a half-spent. ball. A. number mere.;
wounded, but none mortally,

thatowreand the Copperheads rallied at their place
of renclezarousi outside of the corporation. Mean
