'LOCAL ITEI4'S.
GILLAisiT elsT_ClALnY.=—This new .
regiment left Chambersimsg 4 the 16th efsray,
lind reached Washington a feir days thereafter.
,Capt. Hollinger's company was detached a
- short time before the regiment was ordered
Taint., and sent to the mining region in this
- *ate on 'special duty.. the other compinies
- ;'west forward under Lieut. Col. Mosen and re
: p or t e d at the Capital. Col. Boyd was at the
finis in the forward movement under ( , , Sigel in
the - Valley. tie had been sent to . lead ad
vancelorce there,in 'consequence of his famil
iarity with the country and his intrepid dash and
gallantry as a commander. He returned im-
"mediately after Sigel's disaster beyond New
)Niatitet,„and went at once to join his brave
command. The regiment was then encamped
near the Long Bridge on the' .Virginia side.
Gin. Grant's sanguinary battles of the Wilder
ness and Po had just been fonght," and he was
pushing his columns beyond the North Anna.
The 'necessity for infantry reinforcements was
great, and the 21st received orders to dismount,
turn over horses and equipments, shoulder
muskets and march at once to the front as in.
Autry. It was a ° hard trial; but they obeyed
- Without a. mnrmur, and on the 2nd of June they
were in front
_of Lee's army on the Peuinsula,
- without it day for, infantry drill; and nothing to
rely upon for discipline in action but their own
, heroism and
-that of their officers. Nobly did
they encounter P,the foe. When they entered
the fight—the particulars of which are given by
an intelligent correspondent in another column
'-their gallantry excited the admiration of every
Veteiatt , field officer Who witnessed their order
and • dauntless courage. Their noble leader,
Col Wm. H. Hbyd, fell in the first engagement,
painfully wounded, and with him fell over fifty
of his command. He was compelled to leave
them, and is now at home restless in his anxiety
to appear once more at the head of his regiment.
In the action of June 2nd and. 3d there were 8 ,
~ killed and 44 wounded; and in the engagements
of the ,17th, 18th and 19th there were 11 killed
and 79 wounded. We are indebted to Sergt.

FRotsi LIBBY PRisoN.—Mr. Peter Bowers,
lotthis place, a member of Co. A, 13th Penna.
Cavalry, was captured by Moseby and his gang
, Itide; on ascent near Bristow Station, on the
; , ieth:day of
, - March last. Moseby treated the
rpOioneroiVell., fiat promptly relieved them of
NOlithe*lreOnbacks'and other valuableis..Ahey
were sent to Libby - PriSon, Richmond; where
he was confined for sixty days. His descrip
tion of the sufferings,of our prisoners is appal
link. - During the whole time Mr. Bowers was
in Libby, he never received meat but once, and
that was in vve,3k soap. The regular daily - titre
was one "corn dodger," weighing less than one
pound, for each man, and it was usually deliv
ered about ten o'clock in the morning. No cof
fee, sugar, meats or vegetables of any kind were
ever given the pristmers. The corn bread was
made of coarse, untmlted corn, and mixed with
water— r no salt in it at all; and it was ,entirely
insufficient in quantity, and most unwholesome.
The prisoners gradually weaker e 3 until they
would become Unable to stand or walk about
in the room, and almoSt every morning one or
more would be found dead on the floor—a vic
tim to the barbarity -of our rebel - foes. Mr.
Borers became so weak and emaciated that he
could not move about, and he was transferred
to the hospital. There he was 'starved worse
if possible than in prison. He was there al
lowed a very small quantity of meat—less than
one ounce per day, and doubtless would have
died but for his fortune in being paroled on the
Bth of May, when he was delivered within our
lines on the Peninsula. Since then be ens re
covered his health, and is now quite well-again.
He says that the strictest vigilance and most
revolting brutality was practiced upon the pris
oners. '''phey.were - not allowed to look out of
the windows.' , If they did the guard would fire
on them: One Pennsylvania soldier; whose
name he did not leapi, was looking out of the
window one morning us he was eating his mis
erable meal, and he was shot in the head and
instantly killed. The dead prisoners were ta
ken into what was called the " dead room " as
soon as they died, and there they were often
allowed to remain for several days, in full view
of the other prisoners. They represented that
coffins and teams could not be had to bury them
as fast as they died. The 'bodies of the dead
.were always stripped entirely naked before bu
rial, antthe clothing appropriated 1)31 the reb
els. Mr.. Bowers says he has Seen a number of
corpses lying in the dead-house in an advanced
stage of decomposition. Indeed ,it seems im
possible to exaggerate .the ,:p f o t,trocities practiced
by our barbarous foes upon our brave prisoners.
A fearful reckoning must be. 4 store fir such
Zrimes against humanity.

UNION REFUGEES.—The Greencastle Pilot
gives an account of a number of Union Refugees
from Virginia. It soya that (wing to the im
poverished condition of the country; and im
pelled by the natural desire to be with their
husbands again, four married women \ (with
eighteen children) set out from the vicinity of
Hensley's Methodist Church, Rockingham coun
ty, Va., on. Wednesday, the Bth of June, for
Pennsylvania, where they expected to l meet
their husbands, who had left some months *-
clone. for the freer and purer atmosphere of the
loyal States.
The names of the party are as follows, viz
Mrs. Wesley Hensley, with seven children; Mrs.
Rob' t Hensley, with five children ; Mrs. Matthew
Lamb, with six children. and Mrs. Hiram Hens
ley, making twenty-two persons in all. They
had, when they started, two two-horse wagons
and when three miles from Edinsburg, a
,party •
of guerrillas came out from a dense wood on the
road, and tocik thelest horse from them. They
were then compelled to load up, their effects and
the small 'children in one wagon and abandon
the other. The Women and large children had
to walk .all the way from that place, and met
with no further interruption on the road. At
Martinsburg they readily procured a pass to
cross the Potomac. On lust Thursday the party.
way-worn and loot-sore, reached the vicinity of
Greencastle, and were hos,pitably _entertained
by Mr. Mickley
Their destitute condition becoming known to
our citizens, contributions were ut once made,
and these women and children sent by railroad
to Harrisburg. Their horses and wagon were
sent in,charge of one of their friends in the same
direction
Our readers will remember that somemonths
agO we published a statement that a band of
twenty-fonr men, Uniori refugees from Rock
ingham co., Va., had passed over the South
Mountain into Adams county, where they were
engaied in cutting limber. Here the small
pox broke out among the party, and some of
them died, and the `rest scattered among those
who died was a on of the elder Mrs. Hensly,
.the husband of the-younger woman of that
name. The first 'intelligence they had of this
fact they received here, and were distressed
Very much in consequence.
BODY Foumi—The Bedford /aq4irer says ,
that the body of Mr. Charles Pencyl, whose dis
appearance we noticed on the Bth of April last,
was found on Sunday morning last, by George'
Waltman - of Friends, Cove. , Mr. N'Valtman,
with a little son, was. in the woods near Chas.
Harelerode's, at the foot of • Dunning's moon
thin,
looking for his cows. The lad saw a hat,
and said to his flither, "Here is a soldier's hat,"
and looking for the letters and figures that Should
designate the company and regiiiient. The
father, perceiving a band of crape around the
hat, said, "This is Pencyl's hat." Soon a boot
was disdovered near by. Mr. Waltman hung
the hat on a bush, and went for•his neighbors,
Who .immediately came with him. They soon
fi:und the reliable of a man, the - limbs, body
ant - head dislocated and torn asunder, and,
scattered Within an area of . a hundred feet. The
body appeared to have been devoured by dogs
or other beasts. A wallet was found in his
pocket containing nine dolla;rs and ninety cents
and two or three notes. It appears that he had
only about twelve dollars - with him when he left
home. A coroner's inguesit was held on Stinday,
the finding of which is given below. The sus
picion of murder, entertained by some, seems to
have been entirely removed by the searching
examination of the Jury. He evidently perish
edfrorn exposure on the night of the 29th of
March last, when he bad lost his way in a heavy
snow storm.
FRANKLIN COUNTY REBEL BILLED.—Gen.
Sheridan in hie offieial account of his battle with
Lee's cavalry near Gordonsville, on, i the 12th

field, "Col McAllister, commanding a regi
ment, killed." -This doubtless was Thomas

DEATH 'OF A SOLDIER..-4110. Shockey, son
of Isaac Shockey, Esq., of this vicinity, says the
Waynesboro Record, whom "We noticed last
Week as having received a serious wound in an
engagement near Richmond, we regret to an
nounce has since died from the effects of his
wound. He was a young man, perhaps not
more than 19 or 20 years old, and had been in
the service about 'tWo years. We sympathize
wite his parents and others friends - in' this sad
bereavement. They tare not without the con
solation, however, that 'he gave his young life
in a noble cause—the cause of his country and
humanity, and that the good and loyal, for such
valor and devotion, will honor his memory.
