Wis could distinctly see 1 hem from otiren

liiinisport, at which place a small Lody of
tin' reliels had reer,sed the I'otom.ie. on a
foraoino; expedition. They were compelled
to return without accomplishing the oljcct
of their vinit.
On Saturday iiflcrnooii, the 20th. at 5
o'clock, we received orders to strike our
tents and prepare to inarch. All was now
I nt-tle aud activity and in 11 short time we
were soon on the man h, en rout for tiiveii-ca-lle,

As c marched through the principal
streets of JI:igei'-tovn. the American King
was frequently displayed, w hen each mem
lier would try to outeheef hi-neighl'or. The
mo-t lieatitii'ul -iglit we In-held was three
little gir!s dressed in red. white and Line
frocks. The v.t re lreinendon-!y cheered !y
tlie whole regiment. They politely lunved
to us. as they received tin- cheers. Tin re is
coiisi leralile wealth in 1 ia.Tdown, then
are a great many line private residences, a

There is a great deal of liii-im ss done here
at present, as (ien. Met h II. ill's w hole 11 i ll 1 V
is supplied from this point. Army wagons
are going und coming constantly with sup
plies of provision nnd aminuuit ion. At the
railroad depot, I saw Loxesof crackers ami
ammunition stacked up in ipiantittes like
lumber at a fhnirishiiig steam saw iniil.
There are many Reeesh in this place, hut the
majority of the people, 1 think, are loyal.
To return to our regiment, we inarched
tibout 5 miles, where we hailed in alieautiful
grove of trees near the pike, and lay our
selvca down to rest for awhile. At three A.
M. we resumed our inarch quite refreshed
rciiching; ( Jrecncastle at dav light on Sunday
morning, passing the 1'hiladt Iphia Gray He
serves, accompanied Ly Stows liattery tin the
route. We encamped 011 Sunday morning
in a beautiful woods about amiieuorth of
the town, which by the way is a very pleas
tint little town. It is 4 miles from the State
line in I'ennsylviinin.
We remained in camp here, drilling every
day. until Thursday evening, H o'clock, when
the cry of "pack up'' was heard throughout
the camp, and soon we were initrehcd to the
cars and on our way to llarrisburg, which
place, ve reached ut daylight on Friday
morning Sept. 20, passing Chumhcrsburir,
Shippensburg, icwville, Carlisle und Me
chanscsburg, on the route. We could not
see much of these towns or the country
through which repassed, us we unfortu
nately went nnd came over the road after
night. All we hud wits a starlight glimpse
of it. Cumberland is the largest as well as

SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER
On tho evening previous to our return to
llarrisburg, n meeting of the regiment was
held in front of Col. McChiy's quiit'tors, nt
which nearly all the olliccrs made short but
stirring speeches. Senator Lawrence, now
Speaker of the Senate, nud a high private
in a conipay from Wa hieo'on county, read
the I'resident's Emancipation Proclamation
and then 111:11 Ic nn eloquent speech in its sup
port, which was heartily nnd enthusiastical
ly received. Hesolutions were passed thank
ing the ollicers for the good care they took
of the regiment, favoring the Emancipation
proclamation of the President, also that the
proceedings be published in the Ilarrislntrg
Telegraph, to be copied from there by the
papers ol ail the counties represented in the
regiment. At the close three cheers wen
given for tint President, lor (Jov. Curlin. for
the Chairman, and for the ollicers, when the
meeting adjourned, long to be remembered
by the participants.
1 must not neglect to mention that a con
traband who came into our camp nt llagers

regiment, making speeches occasionally to
the dill'ereiit .companies of the regiment, in
which he pictured the life of a slave at the
South, his connection with the Southern
army, and his escape therefrom, lie left the
rebel army the day before the battle of An
lietani by hiding himself under a bridge.-
lie was the most intelligent contraband that
we have yet seen from the South. lie tells
a straight slury. lie was a servant In Stone

C. Towr.it, Esq. lktir Sir; I have duly
considered tho importance of your inquiry
relative to my personal knowledge of tho
attempt made' some eighteen months ago by
F. W. Hughes, Esq., to "switch" the State
of Pennsylvania out of the Union, in nearly
the .same manner, and by the same unholy
menus that were employed to carry Tennes
see, .Missouri, Louisiana, and other States
out; and in compliance with your request,
will endeavor to give a plain, unvarnished
statement of such facts us 1 may be possessed
of, conlitiing myself us strictly us possible,
to the precise language used at the time.
A day or two prior to tho assembling of
tho Democratic State Convention ut llarris
burg, in February, 18(11, I heard it bruited
about that Air. Hughes, (who was a delegate
to that Convention,) designed to introduce
in that body a resolution, the object of which
was to curry Pennsylvania out of tho Uuion,
and join the so-called Southern Confederacy.
The report, notwithstanding my know ledge
of .Mr. Hughes' sympathy for tho South, (ho
having previously told me in convertatiou
with nun, that the only mistake of Mr,
AMERICAN
NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
11, 1SG2.
OLD
Bucliannan's administration was, that "ho did
not receive. Messrs. Hhett & Co., of South
Carolina, ns ('iniin!H.iioiim, instead of 'dis
tinguished citizens,' and treat with them
upon the subject of their mission,"; the re
port, I say. struck me as being so manifestly
absurd ns to be scarcely worthy of notice.
On the evening of the day of the Conven
tion. (I think the 22nd of the month) while
on my way home. 1 fell in company with his
nephew, John Hughes, Esq., (law partner of
F. W. II 'ghes, and ns we walked a consid
erable dist,. ,ce in the same direction, I took
occasion to mention to him the reports Iliad
heard in regard to Frank's secession resolu
tion. He replied, "Yes. I think that Frank
is doing wrong in that matter." I asked
him if it were really true then, that In
designed to offer such a resolution lie
answered, "Yes, he took such a resolution
with him, I read it myself several times,
and advised him not to offer it.' I need
scarcely say, that what I was disposed to
regard before as nn idle rumor, had now
become a stern reality. On my return from
ten. I stopped to see tin; late Judge llegins,
and communicated what John Hughes told
me. The Judge smiled and said : "AVhy
Frank showed me that resolution before he
left, and asked inv opinion of it. I advised
j him for (.tod's sake, not lo offer it. as it would
I kill hint politically, forever.'' I anxiously
awaited the published proceedings of the
j Convention, und was gratified to see that
t Ho resolution in question was not utnong
tlmm. Thus matters rested until some time
I I think in April or May following, when, on
I ihe way to my place of business. I met -Mr.
: James (iowiin. of llarrisburg, nn old friend
j and iieqiiaitit'ince. The war having then
' actually commenced, our conversation natu
1 rally turned upon that subject. Some pretty
severe strictures were made by myself, on
I what I considered the mistake of Mr. liu
' chanan's adtninist ration, and as being in my
I opinion, the direct cause of all our troubles,
i My friend on the other hand, defended Mr.
Buchanan's policy. While thus engaged.
' we were joined by (h-iu-ral .1. Y. James, of
Warn-n, a mutual friend and acquaintance
of l oth of us. Mr. .lames sustained my
views of the question, and the "talk" became
i somewhat animated, in the cour-c of which
I mentioned the effort attempted to be made
I by Mr. Hughes in the late 1 i mocrath; State
; Convention to "sw itch" "ctisvlvania out of
j tin
I'nion, when I was ii icrruplcd by Mr.
James, who said: "Why, wasn't 1 in tnat
Convention, and on the Committee to draft
resolutions ( And didn't Mr. Hughes come
to me iu the Committee room and ask me
to support his d d treasonable resolu
tion i" lie continued: "After I had read
it. 1 got so d d mad that 1 shook my list
and swore that if he attempted to oiler that
resolution either in Committee or Conven
tion, that I would pitch him and his resolu
tion head foremost out of the window.'' "I
don't know ," continued the icncral. "wheth
er it was my threat or what ; but I neither
heard nor saw an;,;liii:g mi-re of that resolu
tion." The material points r.f Mr. James'
statement were su! U. ntly admitted by
him to Mr. F. I.. Whitney, of this H irough.

In the latkr part of Summer or Fall of

came into the olliec of William B. Wells, an
attorney at law of the same place, and who
had been, from the year ls-IO to the year
lSu-l. the law partner of Hughes.
Lloyd's Railroad map, showing the States
was hanging against the wall, iu the olliee

I cane, and explained lo Wells what he,
1 Hughes, thought would be the result of this
I Rebellion , that the Western State; would
eventually join tnc.'souiu, as iiicir luietesis

I main of these United Slates, and that they
i would have to bear all the t.xpensc or bur
then of this war; that that would be, us he
thought, thf result of this Rebellion. And
the disgrace of repudiation would finally be
the result. That he, Hughes, did not want
to live in such a country. lie said if he
couul tlx ins matters 10 suit, linn, or coi
nage ti) that cll'ect, ho would go to some
other country or place; Wells docs nut
remember which. Wells then asked Hugh
es, where he would go. Ho replied, "to
Sandy Bottom, as Natty Mills used lo say."
Wells said, "Hughes, vmi come to thirt
conclusions upon the basis that this Rebel
lion cannot be put flown. Ungues replied,
"Yes." Wells then asked him what conclu
sion he would come to, upon the supposition
that this Rebellion could and would be put
low 11. Ho said, "Ot course then 1 should
come to quite u different conclusion ;" but
said, al the same time, that he believed it
could not lie put down. Wells reiterated
that he lirmly believed that it could and
would be put down. Hughes to this replied,
that he wished he could see or believed as
Wells did ; but he could not or w ould not.
The foregoing was lead by Wells, and he
says it is correct. He says Hughes gave
reasons for his belief; the chief of
which was the bad feeling between the
North und South, relating to tho negro.
Hughes jitstilied holding the negro in sla

The danger of consaiiguinotis marriage.
! and their influence in multiplying deaf and
'. dumb cases among children is the subject of
1 a puper presented tothe Academy of Science
1 tit Palis by Mr. lioiidin. It supplies matter
for grave consideration. Taking the whole
number of marriages in Fiance, the coii
sanguinous represent 2 per Cent., w hile the
proportion of deaf and dumb births ut Lyons
. at least 25 percent: at Paris 23 per cent ;
: at Bordeaux, 'M percent. The nearer the
consanguinity of parents, the more does this
proportion increase; and if we represent by
, 1 the danger of begetting a deaf and dumb
j child from an ordinary marriage, it would
have to be represented in IS marriages be
jtween cousiiis-gerinan ; by in lnaniages
j between uncles and nieces; and by 70 ill
I lnaniages between nephews and aunts. It
I w ill surprise some readers to hear the sub- !
Meet is one in which the religious element is j
involved: Protcstani.-m is more favorable;
to consanguinious marriages than Roman
Catholicism is; and it appears by a return
from Berlin, that tiie proportion of deaf and
dumb children in 10. 1100 Catholics in that ;
city was ;!1 ; in lO.UOO of other Christian j
sects, mostly Prote-tatit, it was ti ; audi
among Jews, 27 in 10,000. A similar result I
eaines out ill other circumstances. By a '
census taken ill the territory of Iowa in Is 10, '
there were found 2'u ileal" and dumb in 10.
000 whites; 212 deaf and dumb in 10.1'uO
blacks islavcsi, or Ul timesmorc than among :
the whites. In this case, the habits of the
hUcks were favourable lo the increased '
result. It is found that when- iutermaniages :
is in some sort a necessity, from geographi
cal position, there is an immense increase in :
the proportion of deaf and dumb births, for
the whole of France, the proportion is fi in
10,000 ; in Corsica, it rises to 11 in 10,000 ;
in the High Alps, to 2:1 ; iu the Canton of
Berne, to 28. In lceland.il is 11. The
w hole number of the deaf and diuub in K.i
rope is estimated at 250.000 ; and when we ;
consider that other infirmities of a very
serious character, including idiocy, are dis
tinctly traceable consanguineous marriages, ,
w e nru led to inquire, w hat are the means by ,
w hich relatives may be persuaded nut to '

Were based, w as obtained from a telegraphic

a pocket instrument, made his way from
Chamber-burg and llagcrstown through tho
I woods, to a point within the enemy's lines.
! After obtaining all the facts relative to their
1 numbers ami portions, made a connection
I :il a place il lew miles distant from Hag- Is
(town, and sent despatches to Governor
Curtin, at the same time transmitting f,dsu
I messages which he knew would fall into

! exaggerated our forces, and led the enemy
j to believe that if they advanced they would
i encounter 11:1 enormous body of troops.
1 he operator was almost without sleep h.-r
seven days and nights, and maintained his
position in the face of much danger. His
career during the entire war has been an
eventful one. In listiO he was stationed in

the Secession ft ver became so strong that no
