OWL EARLEY'S MISSION.
The rebel Gen. Earley has now been on
the line of the Potomac for sixty'days,
and from present indications he means to
hold the Shenandoah Valley and threaten
the Maryland and Pennsylvania border
as long as it is in his power to - do so. ' He
first reached the river about the Ist of
July, and after sending plundering bands
Wider M'Causland, Johnston and Gilmore
.north as far as Hagerstown, he moved to
Frederick; and, after an unimportant en- ,
gagement, he marched thence upon Wash
ington, but beyond stealing a few thou
sand horses and cattle and %sing perhaps a
. thousand men, nothing was accomplished.
The 6th corps met him in the Washington
defences,, and drove him rapidly across
the Potomac and into the valley again.
When Gen. Wright abandOned the pur
suit, leaiing Crooks and Averill alone in
Earley's rear, he turned upon their small
' command and drove them across the Po
tomac again with-Some loss of men, but
none of material; and from his second line
on the Potomac he sent M'Causland to
burn find rob Chainbersburg. Again he
was compelled to retreat hastily up the
valley before Sheridan's forces; but when
he reached Strasburg he was reinforced
by Kershaw's division of infantry and
Fitz Lee's division of cavalry, in all abort
15,000 men, and he at once assumed the
. oTeru3ive again. That his augmented tome
did not exceed - the force of Sheridan we
' are fully persuaded; but Sheridan was in
an. awkward position to offer' battle and
at the same time . prtect his line toward.
Washington. He themfore wisely fell
.baeli to Charlestown and Harper's Ferry,
where he could give battle with hio whole
force and has since been ready for Gen.
Early, who has preferred roving around
almost anywhere but in the immediate
vicinity of Sheridan's lines. It is mani
fest, whatever may be Earley's immediate
purpose, that he is not willing to offer
battle to Sheridan in his present position.
He has thrown his large body of cavalry
np'the river, amused them on Friday last
by shelling Williamsport, and shows a
disposition for almost everything else than
a square tight.
Thus far the two months' campaign of
Gen. Earley is barren of substantial' mili
tary results. It has not affelled the siege
of ,Richmond—doubtless its primary and
main object. It has not discomfited any
.portion of the Union army, and does not
' seem to be aimed at any such result. It
has not, counting all its plunder, kept its
own men in supplies, and it cannot, as
things look now, contemplate an invasion
in force of either Maryland or Pennsyl
vania. What then is Gen. Earley's mis
sion? It is •not -without purpose—well
considered and wisely matured object.
and since it is not to give battle to the op
posing army, what are we to understand
as the aim of Davis and Lee in thus de
taching 30,000 of their best troops to ma
nonvre on the line of the Potomac. evi
dently intending to avoid decisive military
results ?
There can be.but one rational solution
of Gen:Etvley's campaign. It has a two
fold purpose—hiequally political and mil
itary in its aim, and. hopes to be compen
sated rather by the former than the.latter.
The great aim Of Earley is evidently to
hover on the border of Maryland and
Pennsylvania as long as he can with safety;
keep both States distracted and alarmed ;
weary our people of , war alike by atro
cious robbery and applying the torch of
the barbarian; disorganize us with the
hoper , of wholly or partially defeating the
-coming-conscription, and drive the timid
and time-serving to voting the Peace ticket
at the next election. This we believe to
be the mission of Gen. Earley, and it re
mains to be seen-how far it will succeed.
;He has evidently been assured that a draft
cannot be made in Pennsylvania without
.riot and revolution, and he is on hand to
distract the power of the government as
much as possible, and give heart and hope
to those who would plunge the North into
anarchy ; and if he can bear to Richmond
the glad tidings that Pennsylvania cop
perheads have completed his work of de
feating the filling up- of the ranks of our
brave armies, he will return to the capital
of Treason the most successful .general
they has ever started on a campaigm:
We know how the torch, repeated spo
liation and perpetual peril appeal to the
selfishness of men; but when refuge from
all or either is to be purchased at the price
of universal anarchy and the crowning
triumph of perjured traitors, the man who
yields his devotion to a common country
in the hour of personal danger, is faithless
to order and government, and faithless to
himself, his home and his children. So
far from quailing beneath the systematic
oppression of the foe, deliberately design
ed to make us traitors to ourselves and to
our country, let it make us more faithful,
more earnest, more determined than ever
before to resist the power of brutal trai
tors, and exterminate treason from our
once .free and prosperous land. While
treason has life and power on this conti
nent, there can be no peace, no order, no
government; and men of all political per
suasion should make common cause to
make it die the death of infamy, that it
may leave no new champion of treason to
rise up and again deluge us with fraternal
blood.
The remedy is simple. plain and within
the power of alt Our armies must be re
inforced! If Sheridan had but 25,000
more men Earley 'would be 'driven back.
to the capital of crime at once and the
border would be speedily and forever free
from thieving and destruetine incursions.' I
Had Grant 50,000 fresh men just now
Richmond would be ours in thirty, days;
and had Sherman a like number of rein
forcements the Flag of the Free would
wave in triumph over Atlanta and Mobile,
before the frosts of Autumn reach us. 'This
and this only is the remedy. It is the
only measure of safety tci the border, to
our armies, to the Republic ; and it is to
defeat this if possible, that the rebel chief
now ho'ers around us. Let the patriotic
men of all parties appreciate the common
danger to ourselves and to the govern
ment, and stand shoulder to shoulder and
heart to heart• to re-enforce our gallant
armies•speedily and amply, and tranquil
ity and lasting Peace must he the rich
fruits of our efforts. We_must choose be
tween this and anarchy; between disor •
der and desolation on the one hand and a
speedy peace and a restored,and prosper
ous Union on the other, and the choice
must be made qtfickly. Let it be made
aS ha - inanity and patriotism dictate. and_
the mission of Early will fail as expiring
treason surrenders the fairest continent of
the world to the 'beneficence of a grtat
people and Free Government.
rains ORGAVIZATION.
Hitherto there has been nothing done,
either by State or local, organizations, to
give shape and power to the Union party
for the coming election. The distractions
caused by two mouths of threatened inva
sion have been adverse to political move
ments of any kind; but the time is ca hand
when the Union men roust perfect their
discipline and make their utmost strength
available if they would not fearfully peril
the legislature, every debatable congres
sional district, arid it mar he the Presi
dential struggle.
It must be borne in mind that we have
a sleepless, powerful, organized and
foe. The very distractions we
have suffered by rebel raids and probable
invasion have been turned to the best poi
sible political account by our tireless foes,
and every disaster to the Union cause
in the field; every successful rebel raid, -
and every pronti , ie of rebel triumph, but
strengthen the chances of the Democratic
party at the next election:
The Union men have a most sacred and
responsible duty to perform to themselves
andi to their country. They must iiith
stund the insidious. subtle treachery of the
disloyal; the complaints of the disheart
ened; the weakness of the timid, and the
hundred prejudices created by busy
treason in its appeals to every:sAish pre
judice. All these and more mustbe met
and vanquished in behalf of a beneficent
govermhent and it may require the Ut
most vigilar4 and energy on the part of
faithful men 171-410 so. Bear in mind that
in this mom&ous struggle
all that is vifi to the supremacy of law
and the prescation of order. if the is
sue of the next election shall give joy to
the chief traitors of Richmond. be assured
that it cannot be well for the Republic.
Disloyalty cannot succeed, for the peo
ple are loyal—earnestly. supremely loyal.
No party limits prescribe fidelity to the
government; and-if the issue can be fairly
presented to the American people, no peril
can come to our threatened institutions,
by their suffrages. But even a loyal peo
ple may he deluded and defrauded into
fatal errors,
.and it is against this great
danger loyal men should he forewarned
and forearmetk Could' it be possible for
a loyal and faithful Presidential candidate
toe nominated and supported by Clem
ent C. Vallandigham. Benjamin and Fer
nando Wood, on Long of Ohio l Could
men who have openly and insolently de,'
flared their sympathy with the cause of
traitors be entrusted with the administra
tion of the government whenif is grap
pled in deadly strife with treason l Let
loyal men, of all parties, pause and con
sider well before they are thus deceived
and betrayed into the loathsome ernbra&'
of traitors.
The time is at hand when Union men
must connnenee the work of organization
in the most thorough trimmer. Every
election district should be divided and
sub-divided in the hands of competent
committees, and every want supplicAl to
make:the Union_ men a compact an4_in
vincible part . It has - a clear, an immense
majority of the people. and it needs but
systematic, thorough and prompt organi
zation to make it perform its great omission
with signal success. We appeal to every
Union man to see at once to his own dis
trict. and let not another day pass without
starting the good work. Everyday lost is
needless, dangerous sacrifice of strength.
An imperiled' Nationality demands this at
our hands. and it is the least we can do
to preserve to onrselves and posterity the
priceless blessings of Free, Government.
GE N. WM. If. KOONTZ, of Somerset, was
nominated on Monday last by the Union
Conferees, as the Union candidate for Con
gress in this district. The 'nomination
had been pre-determined by Somerset,
Adams and Franklin 'man i ousl yinstruct
ing for Gen. Kooutz—th us giving him thiee
of the five counties of the district. Bed
ford presented the name of Col. Francis
Jordan, and Fulton doubtless preferred
him to any other candidate, as he is a na
tive of that county ; has practiced his pro
fession, extensively there for many years,
and is justly beloved by the people.
We are well assured that no one will
more cordially concur in the preliiEninitr7
action of the counties of the district,
`whereby Gen. Koontz was made the can
didate, than Col. Jordan; and he will ear
nestly co-operate with the loyal men to
rescue the district from the shameless mis
representation our people have suffered
by the faithless votes of Gen. Coffroth.
lie did not cast a vote during the entire
session that Jeff. Davis would not most
cordially approve ; while every appeal in
- behalf of men to strengthen our, armies,
or means to pay them, met with his un
qualified opposition.
Gen. Koontz is a young man, Vitt has
the ability and energy to make a most
vigorous campaign,• while his blameless
character commands the respect of friend
and foe. He will, we are assured, canvass
every county of the district as thoroughly
as the brief time left will allow, and un
less the people of the.-border shall turn
upon themselves with suicidal hands, his
triumphant election is inevitable, We
have not received the proceedings of the
conference, but will have them for our
next issue.

Orn Harrisburg correspondent is by no
means complimentary to the legislature,
mid it must be confessed that his stric
tures are no less just than severe. He
shows that while they appropriated to
Chambersburg what would be equivalent
to about *33 per head to our desolated
and houseless people, they appropriated
to themselves about $275 each more than
the law, allows, them as their pay. It is
molt natnial that legislators so regardless
of their faith with their constituents and
the State, should be unmindful of the
claims of 2,000 suffering people, whose
homes are ruins to day mainl2. — because
the legislature failed to afford protection
to the boider people.

GOSSIP WrrH Out Fairtais.—Dear Priends:
It may bi . that you are in no humor for pleasantry.
If so, we can cordially agree, for we could not
smile, tried weever RV bard„ Four short weeks
ago we were a happy community of nearly,six
thousand souls, and now we are note; then our
streets were lined with handsome attires, cheerful
homes and merry crowds ; now huge, misshapen
and blackened piles of bricks are all that mark
the greater part of our once lovely town. We
are scattered to the four winds of Heaven. Ere
long the place that once knew ; WS will ploW uann
more, and in our stead a new people will spring
up (perhaps a colony of New Fnglanders,) who
will one day speak of us us "the colonial üborig-
Meas." Alas for old Chitmberskirg, and alas,
alas for the old citizens of the forsaken town!
We will be parted, but
"An the hare, whom hounds and horns pursue,
Pants to the place from whenee at first she sew;"
so will our hearts turn to the homes of our child
hood and the graves of our kindred. Let us make
a bargain old friends—as we have heard' of cer
tain fond lovers agreeing to gaze upon the moon
or some particular star/ at stated times, So let UR
appoint a weekly re-union, when we will.gather
about the t' gossip'; table, and talk over the past.
We will also fix, after the manner of the Israel:.
ites, a yearly day of commeMoratiOn of 'the de
atruction of Chambersburg. It is true we cannot
call it a tatssover. Let the 30th- of JulY he our
Hegira, and may we,' as many of us att,poielibly
can, try to meet each other in new Chamhersburg.
on each tiuceessive 30th of July:2llml then'and
there in solemn conclave we will repeat to our
children the tuid story. We will tell them of the
brutality of the rebels, the unseemly mirth of a
sister State at our misfortune, the indifference of
our legislature, and above all the greathearteMtess •
of noble men and :women throughout our own
State. Joined in a 'common misfortune we will
repeat the mournful history; each one will re
hearse his inelanchnly experience, until as time

The ruins of tlie chambersburg Seatlemy ,have
already been skeftked for us by Mr. knight, We
need no picture tn remind us Of its honored walls,
but we hope to hnnd it down to posterity as a
monument of Southern barbtuity. Alone, isolated
from the town, it stood on i high n hill amid its
beautiful shrubbery. It INZI s . mgnantly, fired,
and in one short' hour 411 Its enngotned from the
foundation to the, highest point of the cupola. We
watched it burn, timber 1.1 - timber; we saw the
lightning rod war red hot, we, heard thelond
cracking of the Willing roof; and as the vivid
tiantWliave place to the sluggish smoke, bitter
tears of mortification and regret welled into our
eye,.
as
years ago we entered the old Aca
demy as ascholar. Six short, happy years sped'
away vlith the rapidity 'of buytood,; and two
years after, we entered upon our duties akteach

contacted with it from that time to the present;
and we bad well tigh ended our existence with

we he stood beneath it. Time will shOw
whether we were fortunate or not.
It is a great comfo to us that tiur legislature

reads: "except idiots, lunafice, 'drunkards, 'Fags

they mean by "imirrs and CRIMINALS "? • •
ABOUT THE REBEL, Ram.—Careful inquiry
into the details of the burning of Chambersburg,
establishes the fact that in nearly every house
systematic robbing was practiced by the rebeli.-
Officers and soldiers seemed to rival each other in
thieving. Not only watches,jewelzy, silver-ware,
and trinkets of every kind were taken from draw
ers of every place they hoped to find them ; but
silk dresses and clothing of alinost every kind
were appropriated by the free-booters and secret
ed in their pockets and haversacks, (ir tied to
their saddles. Capt. F. W. Smith, son of the
present Governor of 'Virgins, stole a quantity of
silver-ware from the residence . 'of Mr. M'Clure,
and rode out of toWn with a pair of silver goblets
strapped to hie own saddle. When at Hancock,
he was evidently ashamed of, his theft, and en
deavored to escape the odium of lobbing by shame
less falsehood. A Hancock correspondent informs
us that he exhibited Mrs. M'Clure: ssilver-ware in
that place to ['lady, and stated that they had been
given him by Mrs. M'Clure for helping her out
with her clothing—a statement that is Wholly false.
He took nothing from that house that he did not
deliberately steal; but it is "most natural that a,
thief should falsify to hide his villainy. A cor'-
respondent writing front , Fulton county informs
us that every farm house' in the cove near the
road wasrobbed of' everything the rebels\ could
carry. Some of the farmers hist considenible
sums of money, and clothing of all kinds were 4 , ,
ken—particnlarly silks and other valuable articles
of apparel. Never were a mere scienced set of
highwaymen organized than the conimandof, Mc-
Causland. When Gen. Averill surprised them at
Moorfield, many of them were besotted with li
quor and most of them demoralized by their rot
,Whnn called upon to fight, they were so
encumbered with their stolen goods and so pros
tituted by the unbridled license they had enjoy:
ed for a week before, that they made no sort of
defence. We learn from an officer who VVEtil present
that they behaved more like a set thieves fearing
an officer "of the law than like soldiers. Their
camp which they abandoned when Averill attack
ed them, was strewn with silks, shawls and count
less articles of clothing and other booty, and they
made much more effort to get away with their
plunder than to fight like trained soldiers: • They
lost all their artillery, seine 400 prisoners, and a
number killed and wounded while Averill's logs
did not reach twenty in all. When AVelill's men
swooped down on them , in their camp, althouo
the evidence of their robberies was visible on 0.0
person of almost eve_ry,rehel, they cried ‘ out—" re
trer'nt in Chambersburg !"—" We didn't burn 'Br,
hones!" The 'thieves evidently exc.

street, and there were not less than !260 who en-

a perfectly reliable gentleman, and we are 'fully
covinced that there were not less than 1,000 re-
Ws in the town :when it was robbed and burned.
It must be remembered - t4t the rebel command
was scattered over more tAn half the town—that
they entered?and 4 fired over 00 houses almost si
multaneously; and each squ'ad contained froM two
to five men. _ While few citizens saw as many as
fifty rebels together, they were .at work in sonic

number was not less than 1,00, or almost one
third of the command brought to Chambendmrg.

breakfast at Mr: 'Henry - Greepawalrs, on the
Western turnpike, on the morning of the ;;10th.
M'Causlaud brought his brandy to the table, Lind
drank freely of it while eating. When they rose
from the table and were passing out of the house,
Johnston noticed a delicate child of Mis. Greena

which they had just robbed citizens, and the; Gen
eral would compliment them or smile approvingly
at their dexterity as common thieves: . One officer
called all the straggling men about - Johnston to
come up'street 'and get plenty of liquor, as a cel
lar had been opened hi which. there was abun
dtince, and they , all left to whet their brutal pig
skins with whh3k l ey. In every hotel and eating
house they first broke into the hot or cellar to get
liquor, , and no general officer attempted to restrain
them. -
In our report of the movement made im the
morning of the 30th ult. with the artillery here,
by which the rebels Were retarded fEnni entering
the town until day-light, we omitted to sate that
Capt. M'Gowan, Provost '3farshalnf this. place,
was-in the immediate command of the feW troops
here, and that Lieut. Underhill had immediate
charge of the :battery. They held their groUnd
manfilly on the l'air Ground' until they wereor

of his officem:who protested agnimit and refused
to pirticipatie' in the burning of the town, denoun- -

and mentioned as an evidence of it his deliberate
purpose to fire the tow n at night, which must have

The number of rebels who were in f und about
Chambelsburg has been variously estimated, - "and
persistently belittled by unfriendly journals abroad,
Gen. AvAlli who encountered them 'several times
reported their number at 3,000: 'mid Col : Dixon.
of St. Thomas, ail l'elditefficer of the l'ennsylvania
Reserves, counted :si'Causland's three accurately
as it retreatedtbrough that place, audit numbered
2,: 4 90 men, indePendent of stragglers scattered
through the country. Of this number there were
nearly if:not-quite r,oot) in Chauthersburg parti
cipating in the burning and robberies. and ..000
were in line of battle on the.hill west of the town,
with two batteries completely cheering the force
detailed to apply the torch. •
Capt - Smith, who 'burned " - Newland" was evi
dently anxious to procure the
,private 'papers of
Mr. 30,Clure. He thoroughly ransacked Mrs.
M'Clure's Secretary, but found nothing there suit
ed to his taste. The impirtant private carres-
Pondenceof Mr,..M'Clure was in the liouge, but
as it was in a place where a \ thibf would_ not be
likelyi to search for whiskey, money or jewelry, 4
'escaped vandal hands to perish in the tic:rims. All
the political letters of Mr. M'Clure ,relating to
the'eninpaign 'of few, tie formation a: the Lin
(min Cabinet ISt% and others of amore recent
date Were in his library, but were not found. as
Smith's 'proceedings in the library• were' carefully
watched until all left the house. Rade apt. Smith
found the correspondence he could hav:e published
nothing to make the authors blush, unless:Hon. A.
H. H.; Stria - rt, of Va., and several others now de
voteeto treason, would have been shamed ,by be
ing reminded that as late as 1t 1 .61 they denounl
red Jeff Davis and other Southern traitoti with
an earnestness that would noisy do 'credit to a
„Northern Abotitionist. Had die letters of - Mr,
lGreeley and Mr. Stevens been lexhumed by rebel
Oplonitious„this•eonsolation-would remain, that
nobody could read.. them ; not , t;ven the •authors

More y - ears. Unfortunately_for, Lincoln he
writes a legible hand, and ply rebel who can read
" writin'-readin'," as CoL Montgomery Would say,
_might readily decniher his chirography; but as
the rebels didn't get them,.its no odds, as Toots
:would say, what was in them. As Capt. Smith,
by‘hishidmirable thieving qualities, is certainly on
'the fiiir way to political promotion in rebeldom,
he may regret that he missed this correspondence,
-as it 'would have shoWn him • h7w political cam
paigns are managed in Pennsylvania. Missing
:his mark, however, he must learn elSewhere.
Two Union soldiers named George Styer, of
}toward county, Md., and Adam Alexander, of
York county, Pa., members of the Independent
,PatOpsco Guards, were the last troops in Cham
bersburg. ' They were across the Falling Spring
on - King street when tlierebel picket wpre advan
cing from the west on the same street, and fell
back leisurely. loading and , firing their Pieces un
til they were driN en down Main street, from thence
down the alley to the depot -buildings, and then
out to Kennedy' woods, when they retreated to
Shippefisburg. They halted at, -the ?corner of
King and Main and loaded their guns when the
rebels were, not over:a srMare from them. They
hash ptri in the service nearly three years, and
when UN, by some citizens, while loading, that
the rebels were close to theni, they anstVered that
they had seen rebels before, and: marched off
cooly to get a good position
_tor a shot at the.
"Johnies." These men deserve well for their
gallantry. -
We have entirely reliable information of a consul
tatioohad by Gen. Earley and a number of his offi
cers on • the Potomac', after thel destruction of
Chambereburg, in which the policy - of Earley's
campaign was freely dismissed; and it was admit
ted by all that if Earley's demonstrations on the
border failed to raise the giege_Ailtichmond the
rebel capital most eventually fall. °How or from
4.liont.we have this information, it is not pro Pei
to say ; but the consultation and discussion were
,heard by the person from whom we'have the state
-meat. Gen. , Earley and his chief officers were
quite disappointed at the fruits of their campaign
—it having failed in' its great purpose to relieve
Richmond.

Will he the work of years: hut the Sooner they are
re-planted the sooner we shall have their grateful
protection again. Every man Who owns a lot
should plant trees this fall. whether the lots are
to be improved immediately or hot. Let good
trees be proc s ured, hind see that they are well
planted: and they will give some'relief from the
general desolution. 'Every tree 'well planted is
worth ten-fold Ilk cost.
As ihr as it may be at all possible, let improve .
ments be made tastefully as possible.. We do not
mean that men shall waste money in useless im
pivivements: but_bouseq, and offices, &nd stores
can be made neat with the same expenditure given
to mske them architectural deibrinitics. Where it
is"practieable hloeks of buildings should be under
taken at the same time by the sane builders, and
run uti with Uniformity and a decent regard tbr
external appearance: By this plan munch may be
saved in the construction of houses, as a block of
ten, five or even two houses can hi, constructed
more cheaply than if each is built separately and
the uniformity always adds to the beauty and
,value of such improvements. '
Lot no man suppose that business must follow
old land-marks and old rules; because our fathers
made and obeyed them. He who supposes that
a lot is to have the same rrlative value in the fu
ture Chambershurg it had in-the past, may waste
valuable time and in the end
- cheat himself. Bu
siness will make its own centres, and its own
value upon lots and property ;had whereverbusi
ness goes. there will enhanced value follow. Many
,suppose that because the diamond was the great
centre of business and value inmost be so again.
and lots are held accordingly. We hope to see
lots in good demand and command good, rates:
but we trust that the growth Wale town not
be retarded by owners of lots in central parts pre-
Ruining that their lots must• be bought and im
proved at any cost. Remember that the business
wants of Chambersburg are not only great but
immediate and pressing, and if improvement can
not go ou in the centre of the ' town at once, it
must go on some place else, and wherever it lo
cates it will be likely to stay: ,
earnestly urge every man of means to be
prompt as possible in re building Chambersburg.
We do not apprehend that it will again be drso
lated by the torch. Its destruction will prbve so
costly - 'that even the madness of treason will not
venture to repeat it; and if safety be assured, the
first improvemehts must pay the best. We have
a very large population dependent upon their la
bor fin- a livlilwud , and unless'improv ement is
started this fall with energy they will be without
employment and means of liviihood. Re-building
will give them labor and supply them with the
necessaries of lifeoind builders will not only be
doing an act of kindness to themselves, but they
will also be supplying the means of support to
those who without labor must struggle with ab
solute want.
Let us one and,ull make common cause to re
build Chambersburg better than before, and keep
our °IA n people together by our prompt progrs
and reqUited
DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.—AR accident of
a very distressing character occurred in the camp
of Capt. Stroud's company, near this place, on
Sunday afternoiiii last, causing the death of Mr.
Wm. Gelwix, n member of the company. Mr.
Gelvvix, it seems, was in the act of jumping a
fence, when his pistol, which was loadened and
in his waist belt was discharged, the contents
penetrating his abdomen. He lived only about
half an hour, though surgical skill did everything
to save him. Ile was a son of Mr. Daniel Gel
wiz, of Strasburg. and was about thirty years of
age. When Capt. Hullinger's company of the
21st Cavalry v. - as raised in this place, he was one
of the first to join it, and did good service' with it
until a few months ago, When he was discharged
for severe disability. Only partially recovering
he joined Capt. Stroud's company of one hundred
days' men. Mr.Gelwix.was an excellent young
man, greatly beloved for his kind disposition, and
highl esteemed by his officers for his devotion to
duty p a soldier. His remains were taken to
Strasburg for interthent.
THE STREETS.—The Town Council met re
cently and ordained that Main Street should be
widened eight teet on each side ; but as it would
operate most harshly upon some lot-owners, they
have reconsidered it. We hope, however, that
proper measures will be taken to widen our pave
ments two or three feet, as that would vastly im
prove our streets, and would be no serious incon
venience to' property-holders generally. The
curbing would remain as it is, and as - two-thirds
of all the cellar walls must be taken down to re
build, the additional space occupie4by the widen
ed-pavements would add largely : to the comfort
and value of the propertieS. ' Ourpavements now
are quite too narrow for, comfort and elegance.
