Early,- tho rebel, litis written it history of the ''Last Year of the Wur," in which ho uttcmpts to justify his atrocious conduct in ordering tho burning of Chanibcrsburg. Aside from tho false hoods which ho utters in older to cleur him self from tho infamy which will ever attach to the act, the account is iutercstiug. lie snys : While at Mtirtinsburg, it wns nscertainetl beyond a doubt, thut Hunter had beeuaain iuUul;ing iu his favorite motlo of wnrl'urc, und after his return to the Valley, while we wero Detir Washington, among other out rages, the private residences of Jlr. Andrew It. Hunter, a memlier of tho Virginia Seuute, Sir. Alex. A. Boteler, an cx-tnemlier of' the Confederate, as well us of tho United States Congress, niiii Edmund L. Lee, a distant re lative of General Lee, nil in Jelierson county, with their contents, had been burned by his orders, only time enough being given for tho la. lies to get out of the houses. A numlier of towns in tho South, as well as jirivuto country houses, had been humeri by the Federal troops, und tho accounts Imd been heralded forth in some of tho Northern papers in terms of exultation, nnd gloated over by their leaders, while they were re ceived l.y others with npathy. l'nnw came to the' conclusion that wo had stood this uiodo of warfare long enough, nnd that it was time to open the eyes of the people ol tho North to its enormity by an example in the way of retaliation. I did not select the cases mentioned us having more merit or greater claims for retaliation than others, lint because they had occurred within the limits of tho cotinlry covered by my cotn- muud, und were brought more ininiediatelv to my uttenlion. I had often seen delicate ladies who had lce plundered, insulted, and rendered desolate by tho nets of our most ntrnciou enemies, and while they did not call for it, jet in the anguished expression of tlietr teatuies, wlulo narrating tlieir mislor tuncs, there wns a mute uppeal to every munly sentiment ot'iny bosom for retribution, which I could no longer withstnntl. The town of Chambersburg, in Pennsylvania, was selected ns tho onu on which retaliation should be made, und McCuuslnnd was or dered to proceed with his hrigadu and that of Johnson, and a battery of artillery, to that place, ana demand ot the municipal authori ties the sum of $100,00" in gold, or $000,000 in United States currency, as a compensation for tho destruction of the houses named and their contents ; and, in default of payment, to lay tue town in attics, in rctuliutioti lor tho burning of thnte houses und others in Virginia, as well as for the towns which had been burned in the other Southern States. A written demand to that c licet was sent to the municipal authorities, und they were informed what would be the result of a fail ure or refusal to comply with it. I desired to give the people of Cliuinbcrsburg uu oppor tunity ot saving their town liy muking com pensation -for part of the injury done, and honed that the pavment of such a sum would huvo the desired effect, nnd open the eyes of the. people of other towns ot tho Noi th to too necessity oi urging upon mcir uovern ment the udoptiou of u tlillcrent policy. .ticuuuslaml was ultso directed to proceed from Chambersliurg toward Cumberlund, in Maryland, ami levy contributions iu money upou that und other towns ublu to bear tlicui, nnd if possible to destroy the machinery nt the coaf pits ucir Cumberland, and machine hops, depots, a oil bridges, on the Uultiiuore uiiU Ulini UuilroHil, ns tar and us practicable. On the 0tu of July, MeCuuslnnd crossed the 1'otouiac near Cleur Spring, above William snort, und 1 moved with lilioiics' and Kum- sear's divisions, nnd Vaughn's cuvulry to the latter place, wlnle luiliudeu demonstrated with his und Jacksou's cuvalrv toward Harper's Ferry, iu order to draw attention from McCuuslaod. lircckiuiidgo remained at Martineburg, and continued the destruc tion of the railroad. Vaughn drove a force of cavalry from Williamsport, and went into Hauerstown, where he captured and destroy ed a train of curs loaded with supplies. Ouo of Kuodes' brigades wag crossed over ut Williamsport, and subtequeully withdrawn. On the UUth, JlcCuuslund being well under way, I moved back to Martinsburg, and on the itlst the whole infantry force was moved to Bunker Hill, where we remained on the 1st, 2d aud 3d of August. - On the 8d of August, McCauMand reached Chambersburg, and mado the (Icnuiuii as di rected, reading to mch of the authoriteg as presented themselves, tho paper sent by me. The demand was uot complied with, the people slating that they were not afraid of iiuving their town burned, und that a Fede ral lorcu was approaching. The policy pur sued liy our army on former occasions, had lieeq so, lenient, that-they (lid not suppose thij thfiiut was In earnest this time, and they hoped fur tp'eedy relief.

Eliinting; M llli tlic 9,unno. The following amusing adventure is from Colonel Marcj's "Thirty Years of Army Life on the Border :" "A naval olliccr, many years ago, made the experiment of hunting with n lusso, but his success was by no means decisive. The olliccr hit I, it appeared, by constant practice upon the ship, while making tho tiresome and long voyuge around the Horn, acquired very considerable proficiency in the use of the lasso, and was able, at twenty or thirty paces, to throw the noose over tho head of the negro cook ut almost every cast. So confideiit had he become in his skill that, on his arrival upon' the coast of Southern California, he employed n guide, and, moun ted on a well trained horse, with his lasso properly coiled nnd ready for rise, he one morning set out for the mountains, with tho lirui resolve of bugging a few grizzlies be fore night. Ho hud not been out a great while before lie encountered one of tho lar gest specimens of the mighty beast, whose terrific aspect amazed him not a little; but ns he had come out with a firm determination to capture a grizzly, in direct opposition to the udviee of the guide, ho resolved to show hitn that ho was equal to tho occasion. Ac cordingly ho seized his lasso, and riding up neur the unim.il, gave it several rapid w hirls above bis head in the most artistic manner, and sent thenoose directly around the bear's neck at tho very first cast ; but tho animal, instead of taking to his heels nnd endeavor ing to run Bwny, as he had anticipated, very deliberately sat upon his haunches facing his adversary, nnd commenced making a very careful uxaminution of the rope. He turned his head from one side to tho other in look ing nt it ; ho felt it with his paws, mid scrutinized it very closely, as if it was some thing he could not comprehend. In the meantime tho officer turned his horse iu thooppohitc direction, nnd commenced ap plying the rowels to his side most vigorous ly, with the confident expectation that he wus to choke the animal to death, nnd ding him off in triumph ; but, to his astonish ment, tho horse, with his utmost efforts, did not seem to advance. The greut strain upon tho lusso, however, began to choke the bear bo much thut he soon becatno enraged, and gave the ropo several slaps, first with one paw and then with the other; but find ing this did not relieve him, he seized the lasso with both pnu, and commenced pull ing it in hand over hand, or rather paw over pnw, and bringing with it the horse and rider that weio attached to tho oppo site extremity. The ollicer redoubled the application of both uhip und spurs, but it was of no avail he had evidently 'caught a Tartar ;' und iu spite of nit efforts of his horse' he recoiled rather than advanced. In this intensely exciting und critical juncture be cast n hasty chince to (he lear, and, to his horror, found himself steadily backing towards the frightful monster, who sat up with his eyes glaring liko bulls of fire, his huge mouth wide open and frothta" with rage and sending forth the most terrific nnd deep toned roars. Ho now, for the first time, felt seriously alarmed, and cried out vociferously for his guide to como to his rescue. The latter responded promptly, rodo up, cut tho lusso, und extricated the umatetir gentleman from liis perilous posi tion. Ho was much rejoiced at his escape, and, in reply to the inquiry of the guiilu as to wlicllicr lie desired to continue the hunt, he suid that it wus getting so late that ho believed ho would capture no more grizzlies on that day." .

Two men were arretted ut Tidioute, Warren county, on Thursday, tho 21st u!t., on a charge of having robbed the Bicevort Pe troleum Company's oflice, near Ilr.useville, on Cherry run, on the previous night, where they stole one hundred and eighty dollars, ami ulmost killed the clerk, Mr. Foley, who slept in the oflice. They were hand -cuffed together, and placed on tho train lor Oil City. On the way, when near Tiouesta, they make an excuse of going into tho closet, attached to the car, nnd a moment or two afterwards one of tho passengers, who was looking out of tho window, saw them roll ing down tho bank together. They had crawled through tho window of the closet find threw themselves down tho embank ment, although tho train was running ut the rate of thirty miles an hour at tho time. Tho puesenger who witnessed their uncere monious exit, immediately notified the otli cers, who pulled the bell rope, stopped the train, aud started in pursuit of their pris oners, followed by about twenty pnssengers. In a short time tli-y came its "sight ofthe fugitives, and several shots were fired ut them, uone of which took effect; neither hud they the effect of stopping those they were uimcd at. After a chaso of obout a mile the prisoners were overtaken, nnd yet would not stop until one ot them received a blow ou the heud from tho butt of one of the ollicer's pistols. They wero defiant and took matters very cooly, giving full details of their mode of escape; stating that one of them (tho ono who was struck by tho olliccr) had backed out of a small saloon window, und then with the urm which was munuclej to his companion hud succeeded in pulling that companion through tho win dow, head first, aud both hud "gone it blind" down tho embaukment. The snow beiug drll'tet'., their fall wus so broken us to do them no damage. It was, however, a daring attempt on the part of two men hund-cuffed together, with tho train running ut the rate ol thirty miles an huur. The men wero tuken to Kouscville, aud on being urraigued before Justice Beveridge asserted that their names were respectively Edward Stewart nnd William Huys. Mr. Foley fully Kleutificd the burglars, and they were both committed.

Tho breakftintin wns sent forward for aid to clear the lino, and while the guard, tireman, enginu driver and a customs-officer wero engaged in getting the snow from under the engines, they were alarmed by wolves, of which there wero five, and which wero at tracted, no doubt, by the Bcent of the oxen and sheep cooped up in railed in carriages.

A cable telegram from Hong Kong, via Suez nnd Loudon, reports tho arrival of the Pacific Mail Company's steamship Colorado ut Yokohama, Jiipan, on the 3d of January, and Hong Kong, China, on the 80th, thus delivering through mails from New York within fifty days, in spite of unusually heavy weather during a portion of the voyage. Tho Colorado left San Francisco on the 1st of January, having received the Eastern mails from the steamer up from Panama, which had been brought from Ne.v York across the Isthmus. Thus the great through steamship line front New York to Japan und China is in successful operution, iind the commerce of tho famed far East is knit to America, und biought to our doors. Tun Last op a Gi.onious Band. A tele gram announces the death, at Udinburg, Saratoga county, Now York, of Samuel Downing, the last surviving soldier who was actually under arms in the wur of tho revo lution. Jlr. Downing's jgo has been stated at from 100 to 100. but wo are not. nbl.. to determine the precise h'irure.

Early in tho season be commenced on a meadow ot live iictes. He removed the turf and in June planted about half an ncro with the plantt which nte now bearing berries. Tho course of operation is first, to remove the turf, am then to cover the surface about six inches with sand or fine gravel. This kills th' wild grass roots, and other forms of vegetu lion which 1110 inimical to the welfare c the cranberry. Tho vines ure next plautei about eighteen inches apart, each way.

M Cooper is now at work on the renminbi four uud a half acres, and will havo th bind ready for plants tho present nutuuii lie informed us that the cost to him of th whole operation is about four hundred do lai's per ucre, which we think is higher thn siuiilur work on meadows will average. I some portions of the country, in Kew Jersi for instance and on Capo Cod, Mnssach' setts, the work has been done lor one hu dred dollurs per acre ; but tho expense carting on tho sand was saved, us there a natural saud bods under the turf in tho localities.
