The Case Of R. J. Espy. Richard J. Espy
ot Brookville, Jefferson Co., who enlisted, in
Pittsburg, as a substitute, recently, and then
deserted, after a hearing of all the testimony
by Court Martial, was adjudged guilty, and
sentenced "to be shot to death by musketry,
at such time and place as the commanding
General may direct." The' proceedings and
findings of Court were disapproved by Gen.
Brooks and returned- inasmuch as the records
failed to show that two-thirds of the Court
concurred in the sentence. In accordance
villi this decision Espy was released from
custody, and returned to the regiment to
which he was assigned.
The attention of our readers is directed to
the lact that, by the act of April 14th, 18C3,
the sum appropriated for the support of com
mon schools for the school year ending on the
first Monday of June, 1864, is to be divided
imong the several districts, in proportion to
th i number of children attending school there
in, and not, as formerly,according to the nnra
ber of resident taxables. This is an impor
tant alteration, and will materially change the
amounts received ly the different districts.
.Now, as we understand the subject, the great
er the number of scholars and the more regu
lar their attendance upon the public schools
the creator will be the amount of money re
coived from the State treasury.
A Cowarkly Assault. We are informe

in Tyrone, he was assaulted by two rufKans
one f whom struck him on the head with som

first outrage of the kind that has ocenrred i
Tyrone recently, and we caution those of on
citizens who have occasion to tiavel that way
to be on the alert, and prepare themselves a
gainst assaults of this kind. We hope that the
town authorities of Tyrone will take measure
to turret out the scoundrels who infest thei

Death of a Soldier. It is with regret that
we announce tlu death of Matthew O. Tate,
son of George Tate of Lawrance townshfp.
He died on Monday evening, November 16th,
at the age of 19yeais9 months and 8 days.
lie tvs a member of Company K 84th Penn'a
volunteers having enlisted in the service of
i is country some sixteen months ago. He
participated in the engagements at Fredericks
urg and Chat.cellorsville. in May last. At
the latter place he received a Minnie ball in
t the tilit breast, and passing through the
:ngs inflicted a very severe and dangerous
'nnd, from which he has leen suffering ever
since, and at last terminated iu death. Mat-
itii'w was a young man of much promise, and a

Letter from 1'hilipsburg, Ta.
PuiLiPsiiLRO, Pknv'a, Nov. 15, 1803.
Dear Jocrnal: There is a tide in the af
fairs of a town which if taken at the tiood
leads to dissensions, jealousies, bad feeling
and the pursuit ot happiness banished gener
ally, among the people, and if -persisted in,':i
regular ataiupedj of the social and fa'ii illiar
customs is the result. I am sorry to say that
my bump of cautiousness bas hinted to its
neighbor, morality, that our town is drifting
that way. In one of my former letters I men
tioned the departure of the sociability that
existed here some years ago. But I had not
the most remote idea that future events were
casting such perfect shadows before them.
For some time past I have noticed a cold
ness of the would be oth Avenue portion of
our citizens, towards that class who have been
passed over slightly by Dame Fortune. The
time has been, in our town, when Dry Goods
did not make the invitations to parties. But
in this era of Rail Roads in order for a lady
to cotne to time, she must have the flxins"
on, in all the glitteriog splendor of Flora Mc
Flimsy, Her wardrobe must consist of a Ju
lia Ann Johnston, Maggie Jane Helen Maria
Princess Alice Louisa front of a bonnet, IGi
yards of Doe skin extra double refined French
double breadth broad cloth for a circular;
22? vards ot cassandra florentine aoua vital
elecampane niari i antique silk for a dress :
lOf- yards of French deep double dyed extra
kiln dried cochneal red silk for a Garibaldi :
l'Jg yards of double shuffled high pressure
merino niertisa kinscn linsey woolsey variaga
ted colors tor a Balmoral ; 59J lbs of best im
ported Damascus blister cast latest improve
ment steel wire for hoops ; or a Barnuin Joice
ileth selt pointed siteleton ; and lbg lifts high
heeled double extra sumac Prince Muscat of
Morocco pair of shoes No. 3's, besides other
articles too "numerous to mention." For a
gentleman his gear is not so much a requisite
as his reputation for an expressive "gum
band." As for his character it is all right no
matter how many dark spots it contains, so
that his pres'ige for ''greenbacks" is exhor-
bitant.
The sum and substance of the whole matter
is this, there is a growing disposition to put
on aristocratic airs. When ladies will permit
that unruly member of theirs to articulate that
they can visit poor people when they aro sick,
and care for them during their illness, but
can not tiiink of associating with them in the
social circle or in the common walks of life,
then ii is high time to fear and tremble for
the f uture of a fast increasing town like this.
I h'-pe, sincerely hope, that our citizens will
not let tins fatal destroyer of society get a
stait In our thriving village. But 1 would say
to you one and all, if 3-011 would live happy,
live as our Great and Beneficent God intends
we should live, you will all banish the thought
that you are better than your neighbor. Take
for your motto the truthful words ot Jefferson
we are all created free and equal."
During my sojourn on this terrestial planet,
for nearly a'third of a century, I have always
noticed that in those towns and villages where
there was no distinction among the people,
but all moved along on a level, ever ready to
assist the most humble, as willingly as the
wealthiest, that tlio place was rioted for its
morals and society, far and near. But this
matter ol u select few confining their society
to Mr. and Mrs. Rich, Mr. and Mrs. Gold,
Miss Silver, Mr. Greenback, &c, is the last
link in the chain of good manners.
Oh, fashion, fashion, how many bow to thy
shrine ! Alas 1 by far too many. Oil ! thou
inhuman Goddess to lure the human family to
thin that they who worship at thy fouut are
better th in their fellow being. Yet we all
breathe the same air, are cured by the same
kind Providence,
"And all that beauty or wealth e'er gave
Await alike the inevitable hour"
The path of fashion leads but to the grave.
We are now in the midst ot Indiau Summer.
The past week was beautiful weather. It
drove my thoughts back to my boyhood days.
They came vividly 10 my imagination and
seemed to pass my vision as though 1 were a
boy again. There was the tall slender maple,
with here and llrere a solitary yellow oc ruby
leaf, suspended from its delicate briiches, as
though to mark the spot where once existed
these rustling ones that ore now a covering
for the roois, which once nourished them.
There stands the old locust, that I stoned last
summer to get its blossoms, now Btripped of
every vestige of its foliage, save a long slen
der port very much like a tiean. And there is
our neighbor's fall apple tiee. The old man
has takeu the apples all off but one, away up
on the topmost branch. I watch it for days,
hoping the blasts ot Boreas may sever its
stem an't I be the lucky boy to catch it. It
makes me siali to thiriK that I can not be a
boy again. Methinks if I was, I would be a
wiser man at the ago I am now. But bovs
will be boys; yet one thing is certain, before
I hud arrived at twenty-one there would be a
Mrs. Leroi.
THE BREAKING OF THE ICE.
There is something more ihan usually stiff
gestive in the letter ol E. W. Gantt, of r
kansas. Mr. Gantt is known to us as a prom
inent citizen of that Mate, a member ot the
rebel congress, and formerly a brigadier gen
eral in the rebel army. He was a Secession
ist in the beginning, and showed his devotion
to secession by drawing bis sword in its be
half. It was the fortune of war that he should
become a prisoner, and in time he was releas
ed. On his return to his native State he is
sued a manifesto calling upon the people to
throw off their allegiance to the Confederacy
and return to the Union. This manifesto is
very long. It is evidently writen by a sincere
and courageous man, for he does not extenu
ate nor apologize, nor avoid any of the great
questions that come before him. lie has seen
the South face to face as a soldier in its ar
mies and a statesman in its Legislature. He
is no friend of the North, and his advice is
the advice of a man who bas no love tor us or
our institutions, but who sees precisely where
the danger is, and knows what should be done
to avoid it. Of course, any argument or en
treaty that Mr. Gantt can make is for his peo
ple, and not for us. We accept his address
more particularly as arj evidence of the real
feeling of the southern people in reference to
he war tor fhe Union and what we have gain
ed in the prosecuton of the war.
Mr. Gantt shows us upon what the rebel
lion was based in the beginning. Mr. Davis,
be tells us, had the whole cotton crop and the
wealth of the South at bis disposal, and the
friendship of many European Powers. In
plainer words, this rebellion began in the in
terest of slavery and aristocracy for the cot-
on crop and Southern wealth are simply the
effects of slavery, while the friendship of the
European Powers was only given to the cause
most inimical to freedom. J he few men who
possessed the slaves ot the South, controlling
tts'land and crops, and through these lands and
crop the great commerce that Mas sustained
by them, took, upon themselves to conspire
gainst the Kepublio ana aestroy troedom.
They saw in the North intelligent millions,
ami these millions by tho virtue of spelling
books, and ploughs, and spinning- line la, and
newspapers, became iowerful and wealthy
and multiplying throughout tho land controll
ed its legislation andf its public sentiment.
Tho lord of a thousand 6lavesi and ten thous
and acres fouud bis peer oo the shocmaU.cr'3
bench in Massachusetts, or holding the plough
handles in Pennsylvania. And it became a
hateful thing that in the government of the
country the farmer and suoemaker should
claim to exercise a power as great as his own.
Therefore he sought war. His life) had been
the life of a soldier. His days had been given
to the horse and the rifle. His eye was.keen,
his nerves strong, and he had the audacity
and courage that such a life would pive. He
would appeal to the sword, ana by the sword
he would smite and punish aud utterly destroy
the nation of reading and writing laboring
men, that were growing up around him as
peers.
Mr. Gantt tells us that this was tha begin
i.ing of the war. He shows ns how it lias re
sulted. "We have been whipped," he says.
"fairly beaten ; our armies are melting and
ruin approaches us." The struggle appears
to him in a far different light than the other
gentlemen who, under the leadership of Jeff
erson Davis, undertook to overthrow liberty
by the cotton crop and the wealth of the
South. It is the fashion ot the sanguine gen
tlemen in the South, particularly those who
write for Richmond newspapers, to speak of
the reading and writing laboring men as "cow
ardly Yankee," "the scum of foreigu commu
nities," beggars and boors. To these valiant
newspaper men we are but as so nianv sheep
driven to the slaughter ; so many -victims cut
down with the fire and sword of Southern
vengeance. Mr. Gantt finds no consolation in
this easy rhetoric. He tells the people of Ar
kansas not to be deceived with the hope that
the United States will abandon the struglo.
He has been with us, and tells his fellow-citizens
that we scarcely feel the war at home ;
that our cities are more populous and thrifty
to-day than ever; that our villages and towns,
and field?, and country, are still flourishing ;
that we could sink our present armies, and
raise new armies to crush the South without
feeling the effort. He sees the South a pic
ture of desolation and decay ; he admits that
it has not the power to continue the contest.
Nor can they hope for foreign intervention
It is a fatal delusion. With the pride of a
true American, who has not lost his Anierean
ism by being a Southerner, he spurns the idea
of affiliating with France. He does not wish
another Maximilian for his country, nor can
he conse it to allow Davis to barter Texas for
the mercenary aid of French bayonets. Nor
does he see any hope in a divided North. He
admonishes it is people to remember that iu
the North the boldest friend of the South is j
merely. iu lavor of reconstruction, and recon
struction rejected, they are in favor of still
continuing the war. H'e can assure the peo
ple of Arkansas that Mr. Gantt States this
part of his case with truth and moderation.
The remedy this citizen proposes is the on
ly remedy open to the people of the South :
submission to the Federal authority and a ces
sation of the war by acknowledging the pow
er of the Government. "I thought," be says,
'that the Government was divided, and negro
slavery established forever. I erred. The
Government was stronger than slarery." These
opinions may not be popular in the military
department of General Holmes, but they must
become popular in Arkansas. We have seen
their eflect in North Carolina ; we have seen
Tennessee become gradually loyal ; we have
seen emancipation sustained by slave-holding
Maryland. We know that in Georgia there is
a large party opposed to Mr. Davis and to the
rebel dominion. In every part ot the South
the evidences of This oppositon are becoming
stronger, and the dreary pilgrimage of the reb
el LiUClfer must have revealed to him a spec
taclo more terrible than that which appalled
Macbeth when his crimes began to make his
bloody crown a wretched and dreary dignity.
He saw a fair land desolate a people suffering
thousands of friends weeping for friends that
would never return, ami a public sentiment
rising around him with fearful omen. He saw
his power passing away like a guilty and ap
palling dream. The loval citizen may reioice
in this, and the many simMar indications rhat
come from the South. The wintur is nast.
the ie is breaking, aud the spri tig tune of
peace is at hand.
The letter of Mr. Gantt is very lengthy, but
we will endeavor to give several extracts
from it in the course of a week or two.

A DARING REBEL SCHEME.
Conspiracy in Canada to Set Free tha Sebel Pris
oners on Johnson Island Vessels to be Seiz
ed and Buffalo to be Destroyed 600 Muskets
Pound in a Tunnnel on the Island Prompt
Measures Taken to Defeat the Plot.
The country was somewhat startled on
Thursday last, November 12th, by the an.
nouneement of the discovery of a rebel plot to
release the prisoners, confined on Johnson's
Island, Lake Erie, by the United States au
thorities. A rumor of the intended escape of
these prisoners had been current in official
circles for several days, yet little credence
was given to report; but 011 tho evening of
the 11th the Secretary of State was informed
by the British minister, Lord Lyons, that,
from telegraphic information received from
the Governor General of Canada, there was
reason to believe that there was a plot on fooj
by persons who have. found an Asylum in
Canada, to invade the United States and de
stroy the city of Buffalo that they proposed
to take possession of some of tho steamboats
on Lake Erie, to surprise Johnson's Island,
set free the prisoners ot war confined there,
and proceed with them to Buffalo.
This information was at once telegraphed to
the Mayor of Buffalo, with the request that he
should take the proper steps to prevent a sur
prise. Information was also given to other
cities on the lake, which are subject to a sim
ilar raid.
The Government authorities took immedi
ate steps to prevent a surprise, or the escape
of the prisoners from the island, by ordering
a gunboat to the vicinity, should an attempt
be made to liberate tlum.
Tho Cleaveland Leader of the loth says,
that upon the request of the officers at John
son's Island, 850 men ol the 12th Ohio cavalry
were sent to the Island that morning, and that
a Pittsburg battery of six 12 pounder Napo
leons and 125 men, commanded by Lieut.
Harris, passed through Cleveland for Erie
the same day, for the defence of the frontiers
against the pirates.
A rumor was current in Buffalo that the
Captain of a propeller from Sandusky reports
that a tunnel has been discovered extending
from the prisouers quarters on Johnson's Island
to a woods several hundred leet distant from
the quarters; and that GOO muskets, which
had undoubtedly been smuggled over from
Canada, were found in the tunnel.
The plot to seize the steamer Michigan and
two of the New York central propellers, and
make a raid on the shipping and the city ot
Buffalo.
There is not sufficient positive evidence to
reveal fully the designs of the conspirators,
but enough has b en made public to put the
authorities on the alert, and if the conspirators
attempt to put their plot into execution they
will meet with avar'm reception. The steam
er Michigan is ready for any emergency that
may arise.
Toronto, C. W. Nov. 14. The Jldeertiser,
Secession newspaper.to-day admits the failure
of the rebel plot and says : "The Confederate
Government had fitted out the steamer R. E.
Lee, from Wilmington, N. C, hound to Hali
fax, with a cargo for the purpose of furnishing
funds to carry out the plot. "Thirty-six offi
cers and three hundred men were to come
over, and in small parties to meet at a general
rendezvous. It was their intention to snprise
the Federal garrison at Johnson's Island, lib
erate the prisoners, and convey them into
Canada. They did uot intend to violate Brit
ish neutrality, but onlv to rescue tho twenty
five hundred prisoners from such wretched
quarters, which ate designed to kill them by
slow degrees. "

sufficient reasons why a man may not testify to
the benefits he bolievee himself to have received
from any simple preparation in the hope that he
may thus contribute to the benefit of others.
I do this the moro reudily in regard to Hoof
land's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M.
Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced a-
guiiiBi inem ior many years, under tne impres
sion that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture.
I am indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker,
usq., tor tne removal ot this prejudice by proper
tesls. and for encouragement to try them, when
suffering from great and long continued debility.
The use of three bottles of these letters, at the
beginning of tho present year, was followed by
evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bod
ily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six
months before, and had almost despaired of re
gaining. I therefore thank God and my friend
for directing me to tho use of them.

ATTENTION, SOLDIERS
AND THE FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS.
We call the attention of all having relations or
friends in the army to the fact that '-Hooflaxd's
German Hitters" will cure nine tenths of the dis
eases induced by exposures and privations inci
dent to camp life. In the lists, published almost
daily in the newspapers, on the arrival of the
sick, it will bo noticed that a very largo propor
tion are suffering from debility. Every caso of
that kind can be readily cured by Hoofland's Gar
man Bitters. Diseases resulting from disorders
of the digestive organs are speedily removed. We
have no hesitation in stating that, if these Bitters
were freely used among our soldiers, hundreds of
lives might be saved that otherwise will be lost.
We call particular attention to the following re
markable and well authenticated cure of one the
nation's heroes, whose life, to use his own lan
guage, '-has been saved by the Bitters :'
PaiLADELPniA, August 2.1rd, 1862.
Messrs. Jons.sAr Emm. Well, gentlemen.your
Ilooflar.d's German Bitters has saved my life.
There is no mistake in this. It is vouched for
by numbers of my comrades, some of whose names
are appended, and who were fully cognizant of
all the circumstances of my case. I am. and
have been lor the last four years, a member of
Sherman's celebrated battery, and under the im
mediate command of Uapt. K B. Ayres. Through
the expo sure attendant upon my duties, I was
attacked in November last with inflammation of
the lungs, and was for seventy-two days in tho
hospital. ihis was followed by groat debility,
heightened by an attack of dysentery. I was then
removed from the White House, and sent to'this
city on board the Steamer 'State of Maine, '"from
which I landed on the 2Sth of June. Since that
time 1 have been about as low as any one could
be and still retain a spark of vitality. For a
week or more I was scarcely able to swallow any
thing, and if I did force a morsel down, it was
immediately thrown up again.
1 could not even keep a glass of water on my
stomach. Life could not last under these circum
stances; and. accordingly, the physicians who
had been working faithfully, though unsuccess
fully, to rescue me from the grasp of the dread
Archer, frankly told me they could do no more
for me, and advised me to see a clergyman, and
to make such disposition of my limited funds as
best suited me. An acquaintance who visited mo
at the hospital, Mr. Frederick Steinborn. of Sixth
below Arch Street, advised me, as a forlorn hope,
to try your Bitters, and kindly procured a bottlo.
From the time I commenced taking them tho
gloomy shadow of death receded, and I am now
thank God for it. getting better. Though 1 have
taKen but two bottles, I have gained ten pounds,
and I feel sanguine of being permitted to rejoin
my wife and daughter, from whom I have heard
nothing for eighteen months: for. gentlemen, I
am a loyal Virginian, from tha vicinity of Front
Royal. To your invaluable Bitters I owe the cer
tainty of life which has taken place of vague fears
to your Bitters will 1 owe the glorious privi
lege of again clasping to my bosom those who are
dearest to mo in life.
Very truly yonrs, Isaac Malose.
We fully concur in the truth of the above state
ment, as we had despaired of seeing our comrade,
Mr. Malone, restored to health.

Nothing that is not wholesome, genial and re
storative in its nature enters into the composition
of Jfottcttcr's FtonHirJi Litters. This popular
preparation contains no mineral of any kind, no
deadly botanical element; no fiery excitant ;'bu,t
it is a combination of the ertraets of rare balsam
ic herbs and plants with the purest and mildest
of all diffusive stimulants.
It is well to bo forea'med against disease, and,
so far as the human system can be protected by
human means against maladies engendered by an
unwholesome atmosphere, impure water and oth
er external causes, Ilostetter s Bitters may be re
lied on as a safeguard.
In districts infested with Ft err and Ague, it has
been found infallible as a preventive and irresis
tible as a remedy and thousands who resort to it
under apprehension of on attack escape the
scourge; and thousands who neglect to avail
themselves of its protective ouliri in
are cured by a very brief course of this marvel
ous medicine. Fever and Ague patients, after b
ing phed with quinine for months rn vain, until
fairly satured with that dangerous alkaloid ara
not unfrequently restored to health within a few
days by the use of llostttter's Bitters'.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated an 1
the appetite restored, by this agreeable Tonic.and
hence it works wonders in eases of Dispcpsia and
in less confirmed forms of Indigestion. Acting as
a gentle and painless appenent, as well as upon
the liver, it also invariably relieves the Constipa
tion superinduced by irregular action of the di
gestive and secretive organs:

As a General Tonic, lloitcttrr Bitters produco
effects which must bo experienced or witnessed
before they can bo fuily appreciated. In cases of
Constitutional Weakness, Premature Decay and
Debility and Decrepitude arhnng from Old Age
it exercises the electric influence. In the conva
lescent stages of all diseases it operates as a de
lightful invigorant. When the powers of nature
are relaxed, it operates to re-enforce and ro-es-tabliih
them.
Last, but not least, it is the only safe Sthnulcnt
beiiig manufactured from sound and innocuous
materials, and entirely tree from th acid ele

The immense increase in the'sale of Ho sinter's
