Harvk is upon us. Now is thetime for our

though few rooms. All will be welcome, to our

one can see, the cultivated landscape re
joices the eye. We are very proud of it and
if our loyal visitors, be half as pleased as was

It is a pleasant sight to see the laborers iu the
harvest field, the men dressed in neatly fitting
pants, well blacked boots, blue flannel shirts and
broad brimmed straw hats gaily decked with red
and 6W - ribbons; the beautiful girls in white
dresses trimmed with love knots of various co

CHANGES IN THE SCHOOL, LAW.—The follow
ing changes in the School Law of Penns)lrania
were adopted by the late Legislature:
1. Clerks of the Courts of Quarter Se•stuns are required
to furnish the State Superintendent a certificate of the for
mation of any school district, whether by the incorporation
°Ca borough, the establishment of au independent distrier,
or the creation of n new township.
2. The President of a school board is required to call a
meeting of the directors upon a written request of three of
their number. In case of refusal two directors may call
a speetal meeting, and the business transacted thereat shall
be legal.
3. It is absolutely necessary, in order to secure a share
of the State appropriation that no teacher shalt have been
employed in the- district during We year who had not a
valid certificate from the Counts. Superintendent, and also
that the eihool shall have been*. ept open for the lost four
months subsequent to the first Monday in June preceding.
4. This section relates to the election of County Super
intendent. It provides that the State Stiperintervientehall
eiammission such subordinates as are certified to }awe been
elected—at the triennial conventions, provided that objet•-
tionsbe not made, signed by one-tills of the boards of di
rectors of the County. and sworn to by at least three of the
rulers within thirty days after election.
5. The minimum age for adniimib4 , ity into the Comnion
Schools is raised from fire to sirt rears.
Another supplement practically abolishes the
system of district institutes and re-establishes the
school month at 22 days. District institutes may
be held on two'of these' days, but they are.per
mittd, not required.
The last supplement compels Count; Cnlnmix
sioher to make return of •the: triennial enumera
tion of taxables in each district on or before the
first Monday in June, 1565. Upon these returns
the distribution of the State approlii•iatiou is to
be based.

BATTLE FIELD OF CHICKAMAUGA
correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
has just visited the battle-field of Chickamauga,
and givee, in a well-written letter, his impres
sions of its appearance. lie left Chattanooga on
the morning of the 97th ult., and entered the field
by the fumed Rossville Gap. the says:
As soon airwe entered the gap, our eyes met
unmistakable signs of the skirmishing which took
Platt through the narrow defile, as the rebels fell
hack slowly toward the final line of battle. A
squad of tired reel soldiers, on their way to their
homes, sat by the road side as we passed, eyeing
no with glum stolidity, evidently debating_the
risks of an encounter with the well-filled holsters
that hung on our saddles. We came upon the
scene of the first day's battle—September 19th—
on the left of the Lafayette road. Here it had
been falsely represented that a rebel brigade was
y;lt this side of Chickamauga creek, without sup
port. and that a rapid movement might succeed in
caphiring them, A division was quickly hurried
into the woods anll-run against, instead of a "de
moralized" brigade, Longstreet's corps, in good
fighting condition, and the conflict soon became
fearful. It was on opened ground, neither party
having time to do anything more than throw up,
m a few places, ritils or logs to the height of two
or three feet Our loss was very heavy, General
Brannan's diyisidh alone losing, in a few hours,
over 2,500 inen., Our hues were forced back to
the toad and badly shattered.
THE IA IDENta OF CONTENTION AND DEATH.
Tile ground setts not lacking in evidences of the
bloody Kirk %valet) had been enacted upon it.
Although Nature had, for tan years, been undis
turbed in her kindly efforts to-restore and to heal,
yet the whole nurture was strewn with ghastly
proof. o' tie mighty fafteek which had beentoade
there. No army had Ififfore passed through there;
the farm. were quiet and prosfiering; the rattle
were in the fields, and as the destroying columns
nwayi•d madly to and fro, ermhing the fences be
fore them, many of them met death, and in all
directions are scattered heaps of bones that show
where they till. The ground is rolling, and about
equally divided between field and forest, and
through these lines were formed, with regard,
mainly, to the fitness of the position, and little to
its clearness, or otherwise. As we rode over the
field, it wan plainly evident where the rebel dead
had been buried, and where our own, the few of
them that were granted that poor boon. The re
bel soldiers had been placed in graven, however
shallow, and decently - covered with earth or stones,
and the spot marked with a neat head board, la-j
-belled, and the whole often surrounded by a tluare
pen of rails. Our owe s had the hard fate of
being left on the field, and when the rebels vouch
safed to bury them, they were collected in rows,
or in groups of two or three, upon the ground,
and it few spadefuls of earth thrown over them.
I do not suppose that one of our dead were
buried, even thus slightly, and -before spring the
ruin had exposed the extremities of flaw. At
one end of one of these little mounds_ lay a pair
of skulls, bleaching in the sun, and, at tnt• other,
two pair of shoes, full of bones. Better that they
should have lain in the open air, wrapped in their
• blood-stained blankets, than to have been subject
ed to this mockery. In one of these skulls the
wasps had built their nest, and, flitting to and fru
with busy wing,they were hiving their little stores,
and would defend them with Leafless against any
who intrude upon their strange dwelgug place.
• In another place, at the foot of a tree, thy a
little heap of human bones, where some soldier
bad perished, and remained unburied. Here;
mortally stricken, he had, perhaps, painfully
dragged himself a few paces from the place where
he tell, and leaned heavily against the friendly
trunk of the great tree, while the route of battle
raged fiercely about liimoind his hard-pressed
comrades were driven back, step by step, till at
last the " bmithless darkness" enther&A thick
about him, and he bowed his head in "stern aio
ny," and the sonl-escaped from its prison-house.
He shall waken no more from his dreaming:
" The breezy call of - incense-breathing morn.
The shallow twittering from the straw-built
The cock's shrill clarion, or the echoing horn,
No more shall rouse him from his lowly bed."
After surveying this part of the field we rode
away towards Crawfish Springs, near the 131. C
. day's fighting, with a view to discussing, by
the aid of its cool. waters, the collation, which
we had brought. On the way I dismotmted, rev
erently, to pick up a battered bullet lying by the
wayside. Crawfish Springs should- be visited by
all who go to the battle-field of Chickamauga.
The water flows Out in a broad, noiseless sheet
from the foot of a hill about fifty feet in elevation,
and is said to be always cleali. and of the same
proportions in whatever weatlarl Here, during a
part of the time on the memorable 19th and 20th of
September, our soldiers sought in vain to slack
their raging thirst; for, though neither party were
in possession of the Spring, the rebels knowing
the locality, shelled it so that it was dangereus to
approach. On the hill which was rendered im
mortal by the final rally made by General Thom

_of the forces ; only here a d there a slight bari
cade of logs, hastily thro m together in broken
lines, marking the place here a regiment or a
few companies still clung together, and shoulder
to shoulder, breasted the storm.. On three sides
the waves of the rebel hosts surged; and were
broken upon that hill like tides against a rock
bound coast. Forming in the fields, they charged
across them with a fury which threatened to over
whelm all in ruin ; but, from among the trees
which covered the sides and summit, there came
so deadly a hail of bullets and cannon-shot that
they- withered and sank to the earth before it.
Nearly one-half the trees have been broken off by
shells, and among the fragments of flint, which
thickly cover the ground, the relic - hunter may
gather bullets yet, scattered on the surface, like
acorns after a storm in an oaken Sweet.
But here, as in all places lettere man in his pas
sion has made such wreck, nature has displayed
her kindly power in healing her own wounds, and
her unwillingness to perpetuate the bloody foot
prints he leaves behind. Even this barren soil,
wonderfully enriched by the libations of blood
poured out upon it, blossoms with flowers, and
the vines creep=over the rugged ground, covering
its hideousness and the bleaching bones frorti our
sight, or wind about the shattered trees and lend
their verdure to conceal the jagged rents which
yawn among the branches. Fragrant roses, self:
planted, bloom above the graves,-as if set by the
hand of affection, and the woodbine and the ten
der morning-glory trail over the rude worm-fences
built by the,men over the lowly dust of a comrade.
CASUALTIES OF THE WAR.
Official estimates at the War Department com
pute the number of deaths in the Union armies
since the commencement of the war, including
the starving prisoners, at three hundred and
twenty five thousand. There has doubtless been
frilly two hundred thousand Southern soldiers re'
moved by disease and the casualties of battle, so
that not less than five hundred and tti•enty-five
thousand lives have been sacrificed in this unholy
contest, begun and prolonged by the South in
their vain effort to build up anew republic and
strengthen the slave power.
Our greatest losses during any one campaign
occurred at Gettysburg, when 23,267 Union sol
diers were killed, wounded and taken prisoners.
Hooker's campaign of 1863 in the Wilderness
ranks next to Gettysburg as far as regards Union
losses, they having amounted to twenty thousand,
though generally reported at only ten. Burnside
lost 1,200 in the battle of Fredericksburg, Mc-
Clellan 11,426 at Antietam, Porter 9,000 at
Gaines' Mills. Rosecrans 12,085 atMurfreesbom
and 16,851 at Chickamauga, and Sherman about
9,000 in the tiVoilpys' battles around Atlanta.
The official reports of Gen. Grimes losses front
the time he crossed the Rapidan until receiving
the surrender of Lee compute them at ninety thou
sand. In the various engagements fought by Gec.
Grant in the West he lost 13,573 men at Pittg
burg Landing, 9,875 in the severe contests around
Vicksburg, and in the attack on Missionary Ridge
about 7,000.
Though our losses in many of the campaigns
have been heavy, they yet fall below those incur
red in some of the European ware. This has
been due, to a considerable extent, to the efficien
cy of the medical department and the lavish
amount of supplies, at leastone-thirdgreaterthan
those furnished to any European army. A re•
port recently made to the Imperial Academy of
Medicine, by Cheno, Physician of the .French_ar
my, estimates the losses of that army in the Cri
mean war as follows: killed on the field of battle
or missing, 10,1.40; lost in the Semilante, 702 ;
died of various diseases at Alma, 8,0e4 ; died of
cold, apoplexy, &c.. before Sebastopol, 4.342 ;
died in the field and general hospitals, 72;247 ;
total, 95,615. Thus, of 309,264 men sent by
France to the Crimea, about one-third found a
soldier's grave.
The siege and reduction ofJerusalern resulted,
says Joseyhtts, in the foes of 1,000,000 lives. 60,-
000 Persians were placed hors de combat at the
battle of Arbela, and 100,000 Carthegeuians us
the engagement of Halerino. 12,000 infantry and
10,000 cavalry perished on the fatal field of Issue.
Spain lost 2,000,000 lives during the persecution
of the Arabians. and 800,000 in expelling the
Jews. Frederick the Great inflicted a loss of
40.000 on the Austrians in the conflicts of Leu
then and Leibnitz. The battle of Jenna, and the
lsso-r engagements immediately following, cost
the Prussian army over 80,000 men. At the bat
tle of Leipsic, the French suffered casualties to
the number of 60,000, and the Swedes and their
allies 40,000 more. 50,000 French and Russian
soldiers lay dead and dying on the field after the
battle of Moskowa, and Napoleon again lost 47, ,
0110 men at Waterloo, and the Duke of Welling
ton 15,000 wore.—N. Y. Commercial Adrertiser.
e HON. ELI IhiLIFEWS FARM
The Lebanon Courier thus justly alludes to the
residence and farm of one of the most effieent,
upright and unobtrusive officials we have ever had
in Pennsylvania :
Those who know our ex i cellent Secretary of
the Commonwealth, Col. Slifer, simply m the la
borious, obliging and reliable official at the State
capital. wohld probably not take him to bean en
thusiastic agriculturist, - who feels the keenest in-;
terest in whatever &rtains to good farming; y 4
such is his taste, and he exemplifies and gratifies
it M nailing one of the handsomest country seats
in the State. Surrounded by many broad acres of
thoi mighty lulled land of naturally very excellent
quality. The residence occupies a bluff near the
West Ranch, overlooking Lewisburgppd is bujlt
in the handsomest modern style. From its broad
verandah you look doss n upon the calmly flowing
river, into the busy town, take iu the blooming,
meadows, gaze off ti) the wild and hazy mountaMs,
and then turn and look back upon broad fields
spread out from the elevation almost like a plane.
The out-buildings correspond with the residence,
and are constructed with an eye to beauty , and
utility. It is altogether a place that may well
niake its proprietor fed that the duties of public
life alone, and not the ordinary allurements of po
litical position, eau take him from its enjoyment.
Jed the prospect, the buildings, the tine farm land
are not the only things that interest the ruralist.
The superior-stock on the farm is a great attrac
tion. [he heautilid Alderney herd, with heads.
and eyes like a deer, all gentleness and butter, are
of the best imported stock ever brought to this
country. Attention is also given to other kinds
of stock. so that no lis Mg thing of an inferior type
is seen.
Mr. Slifer is not indifferent either to agricult
ural implements, but on the contrary takes much
interest in their improvement. lie is a partner
in every extensive manufactory - of these
unple
ments in Lewisburg, and their• Buckeye Reaper
and Mower is probably known in every county in
the State; -
In consideration of these facts we think farmers
may be satisfied that they have a very good rep
resentation in the State administration ; and if
they should feel disposed to retain him at the
capital in a higher position they could not do bet
ter, albeit it would not be in accordance with his
desires. '
PRESIDENT LINCOLN ON THE ELECTIVE
FRANCIIISE.—In response to the -suggestion of
Judge Kelly, Senator 'Hahn, of Louisiana, has
consented to the publication of a lettir written to
him by President Lincoln in 1864, a copy of which
the latt• President had shown to Judge Kelly and
others. The letter is important as revealing Mr.
Lincoln's views on the subject.of Negro Suilrage.
Senator Hahn says: "The letter, written in the
mild and graceful tone which imparted so much
weight to Mr. Lincoln's simple suggestions, no
doub tbad great effect on the action of the Louis

MR. LINCOLN'S LETTER
EXECUTIVE MANSION, t
WAsEtANGTOX, March 13. 1.864.
HON. MCIIAEL HAHN: My Dear Sir: I con
gratulate you On having fixed your name i n his
tory as the first free State Governor of Louisiana.
Now you are about to have a convention, which,
among other things, will probably define the elec
tive franchise, I barely suggest. for your private
consideration, whether-some ot the colored people
may not be let in, as, for instance, the very intel
ligent, and - especially those who have fought gal
lantly in our ranks. They would probably help,
in some trying time to come, to keep the jewel of
liberty in - the family of freedom. But this is only
a suggestion; not to the public, buffo you alone.
Truly yours, A. LINCOLN.
ME . public will be glad to hear that the Young
Men's Christian Association of Washington have
purchased Ford's theater—the scene of the arras
sinatiod of President Lincoln. Since the fatal
.14th of April the establishment has remained
closed, and the interior undisturbed. Not even
the painted scenery which was on the stage atthe
moment that Booth fired his pistol has been re
moved. From the moment that Mr. Lincoln was
shot an awful paralysis ti4l upon the house. We
understand from a Baltimore paper that Mr. Ford
has sold his theater fbr one hundred thousand`
dollars—certainly a very liberal price to pay
for the property. The future disposition of the
building has not yet been fully decided; and
until the purchase money be all paid, it it not in
tended to make Any alteration of the interior,
When the Due de Berri was assassinated at
Paris while leaving the opera- house, the public
sense of propriety was so strangely averse to any
further occupation of She building as a place of
amusement that, to prevent again any possibility
of such future use, it was torn down by the gov
ernment, and on the site there is now a small
public square with its foundation. The transform
ing of Ford's Theatre into a place of worship or
the headquarters of an association which, while
representing the general religious belief of the

A QUEER STORY ABOUT THE ST. ALBANS
RAIDERS.-AA incident, not generally known,
concerning one of the St Albans raiders, has re
cently come to tight. Immediately after his ac
quital, one of the raiders, having little faith in the
Judge's decision, determined to leave the country.
It being unsafe to travel, unless disguised, he be
thought himself for a while. The difficulty was
perplexing, and time was scarce. If he stopped
much longer, he would likely be arrested, and
there were few disguises the lynx-eyed officers of
the law had not seen through. An idea, however,
struck him. He hired a baby, paying .$4OO as se
curity for its safe return. He then dressed him
self as aiady and started for Halifax tvith the
child4d for a great part of the way had for an
esco e very officer detailed to catch him. He,
however, gives the detective a very good recom
mendation for gallantry, for during the trip there
was nothing either himself or the child needed
that the officer of the law did not get for them.
He arrived safe in Halifax and took a ptissace
for Europe. s. •
—Robert Toombs Is said to have escaped with
John C. Breckingridae to Cuba. 'His reportiA
suidide was only political.
