Ths Harrisburg Patriot of last week
says : "The druminer boy •who led the
charges at the battle of Murfreesboro, in
Geary's division, and who received from
Congress a medal for his gallantry, was
yesterday in this city an applicant for
employment to keep a young wife and
chile from Starvation. Scarcity of labor
has thrown him out of employment, and
he walked•from his home here because he
had not the money to pay his fare upon
the railroad."
CarAn effort was made to bring the
law to bear on the bereaved widows of

portuned to issue a Wait directing the
Coroner of Surrey county to hold an in
quest, but that body refused to aid sci
ence by a doubtful use of a• compulsory
legal process. Dr. Pancoast, of Phila
delphia, is now on his way to the late
home of the twins, , and if he has taken
money enough with him he will probably
be pretnitted to make a post mortem. ex
amination. '
itirA measure of considerable impor
tance to soldiers who served in the late
rebellion has been agreed upon by the
Committee on Invalid Pensions. It pro
vides, first, that soldiers who suffered am
putation or the arm above the elbow shall
receive the same pension as is now paid
to soldiers whose legs were amputated a
bove the knee. Another provision is,
that soldiers entitled to a pension, whose
names have been placed upon the rc.ll by
: a special act of Congress; shall receive the
same pay that is now given to soldiers
whose names had been placed on the roll
under the regular pension act. The ob
ject is to equalize the pensions of soldiers
similarly wounded in the late rebel
lion.

petty jealously because Smith or Jones
built the bridge, but because it is believed
that the Devil or some other body or
thing who has not the interests and hap-•
piness of the citizens •at heart, wields
terrible evil magie r infruence . over it.—
Many wonderful, hnd if. they did not
come from men of un • uestionable veracit ,
we would say slightly incre.ibie stories
are told concerning what heti - happened
in this famous bridge, but ad We have not
the space to recount theni all, we will give
the latrAt sensation. One afternoon some
time since, a farmer started with a , load
of corn to Mann's Choice, and on his way
bad to pass through ' the bridge.' He was
a man not given to fear nor to the belief
in .spooks, ghofts and hobgoblins. He ar
rived at the town in 'safety, unloaded his
Corn and started for home. Just as the
sun was disappearing - in the western Lori,
son, his wagon, drawn by two powerful
horses, entered the bridge, when all ofa
sudden, they came to a halt—Whack went
the whip about the le: 'of thelierysteeds,
who strakT6l every nerve to go forward,
but it was a dead, stall. The driver dis
mounted and examined the Wagon, found
that it had not caught against anything,
and proceeded to lead hisleam but to his
great astonishment the wagon would not
move. He unbitched - thelmrsealed them
out of the bridge and tied them to a fence.
He' then returned with the intention of
backing the wagon out, but he found that
the wheels were 'firmly set, the•tongue was
immovable, and the light bed which he_
had handled many a time without assis
tance, was so solidly fixed that he could
_not_moive_e_ven the one corner. Night
come.' on an. with itanathemas
and deep, he declared he could not gd
home without his. wagon, to be laughed
at by his neighbors. The services of a man
and boy, who lived near the bridge, were
brought into requisition. They had a-lan
tern. - The trio did 'all in their pcTweeto
loose the wagon but it remained asstation
ary as the' it were a part of the bridge.—
Finally they gave up in dispair. The
farmer had already mounted his horse
preparatory' to starting for home when
the chains attached to the tongue rattled.

the horses as though nothing had occured.
The affair created a wonderful sensation
in the neighborhood, and to this diiy is a
dark mystery.
So late as one night last week two young
men in a buggy drawn by a powerfully .
built family horse, approached the bridge
and when about two-thirds through; their
pfogims was suddenly and mysteriously
stopped, The horse put forth his beat
licks but the buggy remained firm. The
gentlemen alighted, and discovered that
their vehicle had grown fast to the bridge
and would not give anywhere. After
half an hours pulling and tugging they
concluded to unhitch and go home. When
the horse was about half unhitchecl.the
buggy became loose and they went on
their way rejoicing. We do not pretend
to give any reasons for these mysteries,
but we are willing to swear that wci . get'
our information from as reliable men as
Bedford county can produce and that they
are candid in their convictions.—,Bedford

unfortunate man revealed nothing new.
His wife and• Mr. Perdue, his counsel,
were in the cell with him, all engaged in
deep conversation. The prisoner' is still
hopeful of a new trial, in which even; he

upon the prison fare. He sleeps well,
and talks of nothing but the chances of a
new trial. Mr. Perdue has worked very
hard for the doomed man, and is still do

compel him to close his labors. The three
weeks granted by the Supreme Court has
almost expired, and the paper book, for
lack of t funds, is not yet in the hands of

prompted to this deed have now deserted
him, and he is left uncarei for save by
his wife, who is ever ready to cheer, and
with her limited means, to assist him to

is good grounds for it, that Udderzook

The Vice President arose from his seat in

simply to say that I am under imperative
orders to make no sp,ech es on any subject.
I will add, however, that twenty years

entitled to the right of suffrage as myself,
and I have not changed my mind since."
Good words.

ent law is odious to' a large class of citi

haps not a single individual with any
claims whatever to morality or good citi
zenship ZYho does not abhor the vice of
intemperance and who would not wel
come any action on the part dour repre
sentatives which would more effectually
remedy the evil. The weakness of the
local option law is a Jack of mean to en
force it.
____THE-GALLOWiI-CH-E-ATED. The—trial
of John M. Resley for the murder of
Lloyd, L. Clary, which had Leen in pro
lgress at Cumberland, .151 d., .for a couple
of weeks, was couolnded on Saturday ev
ening last by the jury rendering a ver
dict.of acquittal. Clary was one of the
.editors the .Cumberland Times • and
last October published au artiele reflect-
. pon4he—actan: e •:. •
who was clerk of the courts at the time,
which so touched the dignity, or vanity
of Resler as to Cause him •to commit a
cowardly murder. Instead , of seeking re
dress in a honorable way he slunk assas
sin -life, to the office of the Times, and
without warning, shot down an unarmed ,
man, and then fled to the street where he
boastingly . acknowledged that he had
committed the deed.' A verdict ofitcquit
tal in his case will certainly be a surprise
to all who read the evidence as it appear
ed in the Baltimore dailies during the
progress of the trial.
When - the verdict was announced,
, and before it could be recorded, the pris
oner, says the despatch, was surrounded
by his friends and almost borne from the
court, the Judge vainly striving to restore
order. He was accompania — to his
- home - by - a shouting and exult
of from two to three hundred persons,
The charge to the jury, delivered by
Judge .Alvey, was brief, as follows :
' Gentlemen of the Jury-=The indiament
-charges-the-party-with-murder.—lf --you
find him guilty of murder it will be your
duty to designate the degree. If you find
him guilty of murder in the first degree
you will say guilty of murder in the first
degree. - If you find him guilty of mur
der in the second degree you will say
guilty of murder in the second degree,
but not guilty in the first degree. Or you' ,
-may-find - him - guilty - of - manslaughter; or
if you find him not guilty you will sim
ply say not guilty.
• You will bear these instructions in
mind, in order that you may be correct
in rendering your verdict.
RINGGOLD MEETlNG.—licking to
previous announcement a meeting was
held in the Ringgold_SchooLHouse_on
Thursday evening, January 29, for the
purpose of hearing an explanation of the
Grange movement, and the object of 'the
"Order of Patrons of Husbandry."
Several 3entlemen from- a Lodge not
very far distant were.. expected to address
the meeting. The gentlemen failing to be
present, the meeting was called to order s
a chairman elected and invitations given
to those present to ex.press their views on
the subject.
A number of gentlemen. were called up
on and replied affirmatively and negative.
ly. The Grange question being new and
in direct application to the majority of
the community, many having but a faint
idea of its origin, progress and purpose,
the prevailing sentiment here is to have
another meeting. One week previous a
meeting was held fora similar purpose.
The same gentlemen were expected' at
this, meeting, but failing to appear, the
meeting, as I am told, was conducted
similar as •on last Thursday evening.—
Some officious individual gave vent to
his fine feelings in the Record of Jan. 29;
Meaning thesame, I suppose, a burlesque.
In justice and encouragement to Mr.
Shockey and truth to the public, irrespee..
tive of my' sentiment's on the Grange
question, I would here state in purport
the article is false. .
By what I have been told by ,responsi
ble persons present at' the meeting, and
by what I heard at the second meeting
by the same gentleman I have evidence
to affirm his meaning was quite different.
The title of the article within itself is
an untruth, there being no grangers at
either 'meeting. But if A. B. C's. true
sentiments are unbarmonious with Mr.
Shockey's, and mean to injure the young
man by misrepresentations, I would cau
tion him to exercise a little more brain,
if he has any to exercise, before again
contributing.
It must indeed be humiliating for any
individual to reflect upon, the vain effort
of burlesque in public print with such
personalities, especially personalities with
reference to the oratorial powers of the
young men who merely expressed their
opiniOns of the movement on being call
ed. I think it unbecoming any gentleman
and beneath the dignity of any one pos
sessed of the least culture.
Further comments upon A. B. C's. ar

and through the forests and coal fields of

It is singular to see that an overruling
Providence evidently dictates an associa

in order, to open a direct railroad route
from the City of New York to West Va.
Each of the above named R. R. Com
panies have constructed a part of which

It is thereforeproposed- that a conven

ize a company ont of these several nam
ed railroad companies for the purpose of

as proposed. H. M.
We are permitted (says the Advertiser)
to publish the following extract addressed
to Hon. Thomas Maslin by a gentleman of
Pennsylvania. His suggestions are mirth
the - attention - of - thin king - men,— and-show
that our section is still attracting the no
tice of tluise interested in railroads:
MOB. MABLIN, Esq:
Dear Sir : * *
I likewise wish to call your attention
to the importance of having an air line
railroad from ,New York to Winchester,
Va., and there form connection with your
Washington and Ohio Company, to con
struct up Lost River via Moorefield, and
so on to the Ohio river. And to the fact
that there are several railroads chartered,
or partly Or entirely made, and that noth
ing is wanting but a combination of these
railroad companies and a little more work
to complete a railroad in almost a straight
line, and about the shortest and best rail
road that could he made from the city of
New York to Winchester, Va.
There is already the road made from
New York to Burlington on the Dela
ware river ; thence a charter for a rail
road to Lancaster, with a prospect of be
ing made soon—some work done on it
last summer. From Lancaster to Gettys
burg there is railroad in operation. Then
there begins the Thaddeus Stevens' Tape
worm Railroad, graded, bridged, ready
for the ties, 20 miles to top of South Mt.
within four miles of Waynesboro' station
on Western Md.; thence in operation to
Hagerstown: thence by extension of Cum
berland Valley railroad to Martinsburg,
with pledge to complete to county line, or
to unite with the Harper's Ferry Branch
to Winchester.
Now, if these different companies were
associated, or consolidated, and your
Washington and Ohio Company unite at
Winchester, and extend it through West
Virginia, New York could supply the
funds and West Virginia the freight from
its vast forests and inexhaustible coal and
iron mines, with cattle, horses, sheep,
swine, 4e., &C.
While this freight vould soon pay all
expenses, ;Virginians would be enriched
by cash returns. And when in operation
it . would furnish superior attractions for
rural excursions to invalids, to the seek
ers of pleasure and travelers generally.—
Ballstown, Saratoga, and the falls of Ni
agara will lose there charms, or be eclips
ed by the fresher and preferable attrac
tions Of the natural curiosities of West
Virginia. The Warm Springs and singu
lar contrast of the ice mountain, the Car
per, Capon, and other mineral springs,
Lost River, dc. These, with delightful
climate, would form attractions for a grea
ter number of excursionists and travelers
than to be found on any other railroad of
the same extent on the globe.
If you are favorably disposed towards
this united enterprise. I would be glad
to hear from you ; and being intimately
acquainted all along the route, will be
pleased to communicate any information
desired that I can give.
A combination of the above named
companies for the purposes suggested, to .
proceed to carry out this design, would at
once raise Virginia land 100 per cent.
throughout a greater part of the State.
Will you please give my suggestions
some reflection, make them known to gen
tlemen of enterprise and influence, and
communicate to me.
