Slowly the shadows creep Over the valley deep, Softly the sunbeams play over the glen, Richly the forests glow, Gently the waters ilov, Low breathe the winds over dwellings of men. "Wondering, worshipful, Where dwells the Beautiful, Gladly I wander with Nature and thee, Hearing the songs she siegs, Loviug the smiles she flings Over the mountain and over the sea. While richest hues are spread Underneath, overhead Ruby and Emerald, jasper and gold And down the mountain sid-j Rivers of radiance glide, Like the transfigured the mountain of old. With Nature and wi-h thee, Learning of stream and tree, Joyous f wander in woodlands afar, While o'er my spirit lloats Music of angel notes, Music of realms beyond sunlight and star. ' ac-cissiomil" on 5ie Ei;i:i!ici I.nl I on Proclamation. Occasional," the well known and in fluential correspondent of the Philadel phia 1'rcss, thus (-peaks of the . resident's; Emancipation Proclamation : The President's Emancipation Procla mation has. made a profound impression upon the public mind. lta.rely ha-i any mere ollicial declaration produced such an effect. It contemplates a startling change iu that institution ' which for so many vcars has been the substance and the fort ress of the pro-elavery leaders and dictators of national politics, and whih, for seven teen moutlis, has been the feeder aud the back-bone of the rebellion. To strike down such a power is to crush with it those who have subsisted upon it, and to tear away the thews and ligaments hat have attached others to their cause. A reform so thorough must create some con fusion. One great object has already been effected. T!f. pnopla are noic forced tu iLinh of tJac-trv as an ckrncnt of the (reason that is intent t'jon the aacrifve of the RcjmbUc. They cannot drive the un pleasant subject from their hearts It is not the President who has placed it there. The rebels have compelled him to regard it, and the more he contemplates it the more he realizes that slavery is the one ijreat adversary of the American Union; and as he cauuot remove it hituself, he asks the people to help him. Will they do so ? Alter some study of their organs 1 feci conlident that they will finally give the President their cordial assistance. It is true the signs are not all propitious of s,uch a result. The lireckinridge papers in the free .States are almost without ex ception against the Proclamation. For getting their argument in favor of the execution of the laws, they denounce the President for simply giving force to a law of Congress, and rejecting the patriotic motives that first induced him to delay this great decree of deliverance, and ti'nal ly to announce it. Heretofore these papers have been able to lead and delude a vast mass of people. Immense consequences are involved in their failure or success to maintain this fatjl influence. On the other hand, all the loyal papers, without exception, in the free Urates, take ground with the President. In using the term "loyal papers," I do not mean the Repub lican journals only, but every newspaper that is honestly lor the Government and for the war to preserve the (Jovernmcnt. Journals like the West Chester Democrat and Huntington Glohe in Pennsylvania. In Maryland the Baltimore American and Clipper accept.it as an alternative forced upon the Government. So far as I can ascertain, many of the most distinguished .!l"lccrs in the Aru-y aml av are knowu citner to nave cnaorsea it since lis ap pearance, or to have expected and asked I lr it. Of these, I feel free to name j Generals Hooker, limks, Wadsworth, j Ileiiitzelman, tSigel, J no. A. M'Cler f naud, Jno. A Liigan, Sickles, Mcairher, ad of course, Generals Hunter, Butler, 1 ft- 1. , T.. V A -J.:-T n. ailu 1 ncipc. m me iiuvy, auuiiriii ju- j pont is authoritatively quoted among the ! earnest advocates of the policy of Eman- cir-ation; and so also of the gallant old seamau, now iu command of the United States Naval" Asylum at Philadelphia, Commander Joseph Enjrle. There i. a large class of regular officers in both bvan- ! ches of the service who are expected to ! ri TV "e the Proclamation, and among these G.uei-l MeClelhui is boldly named. ! EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1862. Happily, howevei, I have the best reason for knowing that these officers will disap point this treasonable hope. Whatever their opinions may be, they will fearlessly obey the acts of Congress, and stand by theExecutive in enforcing thesa acts. There is, besides, a class of public men, notia the army, and not Republicans, who give the proclamation their warm, cordial, and grateful sanction. These are Gover nor Todd, Judge Jewett, and, it is said, William Allen, of Ohio; Dickinson, Tre rnain, and liusteed, of New York; aud the well known independent Democrats in Pennsylvania, of whom Judge Shannon, of Pittsburg, Judge Champneys, of Lan caster, and the Muhlenbergs, of Berks, are specimens. It ought to seem reason able that) with all these opinions and elements at work, the whole mass should soon be rightly leavened. But your read ers, who know the obdurate bigotry and unforgiving hatred of the Breckinridge leaders, know, also, how difficult it will be to induce these men to extend a help ing hand to the Chief Magistrate of the nation. So long a they think they can disaffect a single vote against the war, and against the Lxecutive, just so Ion a t .-111 i, mr .-iil i n llm intprcvt. rf thr cnni moc enemy. I he question now presents itself: "Will the Democrats who have followed these bad men before, follow them in the stand they have taken agaiust the Government on the Emancipation of the slaves of the rebel after the first of January, 1803 V If this question is an swered in the negative, our future will be a future of victory and conquest; if in the affirmative, it may be a future of defeat and separation. An awful responsibity, therefore, rests upon these Democrats. The- have the future of the country iu their own hands. It is astonishing to me that, with such an issue, there should be any doubt as to the ultimate judgment of the people ; but so far as the .lass referred to is concerned, there is doubt, and very great doubt at that. We have onl to look at the votes of certain party leaders in the last Congress to see assu rance of this. It is true that every day lenders thy attitude of disaffected men more dangerous to the couutr', and there- j fore, more unsafe for themselves. It is i also true that as the perils of the Jicpub lie multiply, the prejudices of partisans decrease. Jf the doubtful leaders can realize that the people thoy have lei will i i. i no more, save in the right road, their own interest and ambition mat i prompt them to turn upon their record i and i:o for the country. There arc, un- j doubtedly, many men who would do right, if they did not fear the vengeance of the so-called "Democratic" leaders, and dread the anathema of the So called "Democratic party. How many will dare to offend these rotten and wretched shams ? There ! ought to be hundreds of thousands ; and if there is any force in the appeal made to our people by a suffering country, there will be. 1 have always believed that the mas of the old Democracy were loyal to ihe heart, aud I believe so still; and I cherish the hope that as all the immortal principles involved in this strurglj, and all those calamities that must ensue if it should be decided adversely, and all the treason of their leaders is made to appear beyond dispute as all these invocations are felt at their firesides and iu their walks of life, they will see in the Administration the only embodiment of an imperilled Government, and will give the President the comfort and the strength he so urrent ly demands. And God grant that this hope may not be disappointed. Gkn. ILknm. When General Reno fell, General turges was wrthiu a few yards of him. He was iu coitimand of the divis- l ion formerly commanded by Reno, increas ed by several new regiments, and the men had just distinguished themselves in dri ving the rebels from the summit of Blue Ridge. These generals were bosom friends; had been classmates at West Point, and graduated together. When Reno fell, Sturges ran to his assistance, had him picked up, aud said, "Jesse, are you badly wounded '!" to which he replied, "Y'es, bam; 1 am a dead man." Gen. Starve? had him placed upon a litter and carried ' to the rear, where he died in an houi j His last words, before leaving the battle field, were, "Boys, 1 can be with you no longer in body, but I am with you in siririt."

Anna Maria Story was married to Bob Short. A very pleasant way to make a story short. Kentucky Conservatism. A humorous writer in the Sunday Mercury gives this amusing illustration of conservatism : Upon quitting the Strawberry Fe nival, I returned post haste again to Paris where I arrived just in time to start with Capt. Bob Shorty and a company from the Conic Section of the Mackerel Brigade on a foraging expedition. We went to look up a few .straw beds for the feeding of the Anatomical Cavalry horses, my . boy, aud the conservative Kentucky chap went along to see that we did not violate the constitution nor the rights of man. "It is m' opinion, comrade," says Capt. Bob Shorty, as we started out "it's my opinion, my Union ranger, that this here unnatural war is getting workpd down to a very line point when we can't go out for an armfuiof forage without takiug the Constitution along on an ass." "I think," says Capt. Hob Shorty, "that the Consti tution is as much out of place here as a set of fancy harness would be in a drove of wild buffaloes." Can such be the case, my boy can such be the case? Then did our revolu tionary forefathers live in vain. Having moved along in gorgeous cav alcade until about noou, Ave stopped at the house of a First Family of Virginia, who were just going to dinner. Captain Bob Shorty ordered the Mackerels to stack arms and draw canteens in front of the door yard, and then we entered the domicil and saluted the domestic meetins: iu the dining room. ''We come, sir," says Bob, addressing the high minded chivalry at the head of the house, "to ask you if you have any old straw beds that you don't want, that could be used by the cavalry of the United States of America." The chivalry only paused long enough la throw a couple of pie plates at us, aud then says he : "Are you accursed Abolitionists ?'' The Kentucky conservative chap step ped hastily forward, and says he : "Xo, my dear sir, we're the conserva tive elements." The chivalry's venerable wife, who was a female Southern Confederacy, leaned back a little in her chair, so that her little sou could see to throw a tea cup at ine ; and says she : "You ain't Tribune reporters be yon V I We were all noes and ayes. Quite a feature was that iu soeical intercourse, my hoy. The aired chivalry caused three fresh chairs to be placed at the table, and hav ing failed to discharge the fowling piece which he had pointed at Captain Bob horty, by reason of dampness in the cap, he waved us to seats, and says he : "Sit down, poor -hirelings of a gorilla despot, and learn what it is to tasie the hospitality of a Southern gentleman. Y'ou Lincoln hordes," says the chivalry, sha king his white locks, "you have come to butcher the Southern Confederacy ; but the Southern gentleman knows how to be courttous, even to a vandal foe." Here the chivalry switched out a cane , the left, from which a flight of stairs as which he had conce-iled behind him, and . eends and a hall leads to the back portions made a blow at Captain Bob Shorty. j of the house below. lie did not go up. the "See here!" says Bob, indignantly, "I'll stairs toward his room, but walked in the be " "Hush !" says the conservative Ken tucky chap, agitatedly, "don't irritate the old patriarch, or the future amieable reconstruction of the Lnion will be out of the question, lie is naturally a little provoked just now," says the Kentucky chap, soothingly, "but we must show him that we are his friends." We all sat down in peace at the hospi- table board, my boy. only a few sweet no tatoes and corn-cobs being thrown by the children, and found the fare to be iu keep ing with the situation of our distracted country I may say, warfare. "In consequence of the blockade of the Washington Ape," says the chivdry, pleasantly, "we only have one course, you sef. ; but even these last year's sweet pota toes must be luxuries to mercenary mud- sills accustomed to husks." I had just reached out my plate, to be helped, my boy when there came a great noise from ihe Mackerels iu the front dooryard. "What's that ?" says Bob Shorty. "O, nothing," says the female Confed- eraey, taking another bite of hoecake, I've -only told one. of the servants to throw some hot water on your reptile hireliugs." As Captain Bob Shorty turned to lhank her for her explanation, and while his id-ite was extended to be helped, the aged chivalry fired a pistol ut him acro.-s the. table, the. ball just grazing his head and entering the wall behind him. "By "all that is blue!" says Captain Bob Short' excitedly, "now I'll be " "Be v-aliit, now : be calm," says tho con- servative Kentucky chap, hastily, "don't I tell you it is only natural for the good old soul to be a little provoked ! If you go to irritate him we can never live to gether as brethren ajrain." fc Matters bejug thus rendered pleasant, my boy, we quickly finished tho simple meal, and as Captain Bob Shorty warded off the carving-knife thrown at him by the chivalry's little son, he turned to the female Confederacy and says he : "Many thanks for your kind hospitality, and how about that straw bed ?" The Virginia matron threw the vinegar cruet at him, and says she : "My servants have already given one to your scorpions, you nasty Yankee." "Of course," says the venerable chivalry, just missing a blow at me with a bowie knife, "of course 3'our government will pay me for my property I' . "Pay vou," says Captain Bob Shorty, hotly: "now I'll be " "Certainly it will, my friend," broke in the conservative Kentucky chap, eagerly, "the Union forces came here as your friends, aud they make war oa none but traitors" As we left the domicil. my boy, brush ing from our coata the slops that had just been thrown at us from an upper window, I saw the chivalry's children training a fowling piece from the roof and hoisting the flag of the Southern Confederacy oi one of the chimneys. And will it be possible to regain the love of those noble people again, my boy, if we treat them constitutionally X We shall see, my boy we shall sec. TIsc -VcIson-iKivis ZMCicuIly. The difficulty between Major General Nelson and Brigadier General Davis, re sulting iu the death of the former, origi nated some ti.ne since, and during the first preparations for the defence of Louis ville a serious quarrel took place between them. They weie thus prepared for hos tilities of a still uglier character at any moment. Ou meeting in the large bar room of the Louisville Hotel, an altercation imme diately took place. 1 received the follow ing account from 'aptain Iloblentzell, of General M'Cook's stall, who did not hear the first words which were uttered. They must have been few in number, however, and probably were of a very provokiug character, as General Nelson seemed at once much enraged, called Davis an inso leut, cowardly pappy, and slapped him in the face. Governor Morton and many others were in the room at the time, and the Governor stepped up as soon as the altercathm commenced. No good feeling existed between the Governor and General Nelson, and immediately after the latter had struck Davis he turned to the Gover nor and said, sharply and tartly, "Did you come to sec that iusult, sir?" "No," re filled the Governor, mildly, "I merely came to see what was going on;" or, as others report, "I merely came up to hear what was said." Nelson then turned away and walked j from the bar room into another room upon direction of the hall. In the meantime, Davis had procured a pistol from the j hands of a mil) by the name of Gibson, a I gentleman of Indiana, who is reported to have taken care of Davis in his boyhood He then started after Gen. Nelson upon ! the run.' Capt. Iloblentzell ran after and endeavored to arrest his steps, but Davis succeeded in entering the apartment on the left of the bar room just as Gen. Nel son, returniug froln the other end of the room, had neared the front of the stairs. These stairs commcuee near the entrance from the bar mom, and just to the right of the door. Davis, therefore, was but a few feet from Nelson, when he fired. Just as he presented th-j pistol and pulled tho trigger, Capt. Hoblentzall grasped his arm, but it was too late. The weapon was discharged aud the ball entered the breast of Gen. Nelson, passing through his lungs. Ho threw up his hand to hi: j head, tycclain.ing, "God, 1 am shot!" and ; then, without even staggering, slowly and : deliberately walk-.rd up stairs to his otuc-e. ! He was then hid upon h mat:ras, and at once requested ihe presence of Dr. Talbot, j Chaplain of the 15th Kentucky regiment, that he might be baptized. Dr. Talbot i alter conversing witn !:im a tew minuses, j aud sansfung himself that the dying j General was in a proper condition to re- : ceivc the solemn sucramsnt of baptism, : complied with his reque.-t. rive minutes after, Gen. Nelson' spirit had departed. ' From the moment he was shot hs uttered : not one w'rd concerning his adrprsiiy, or ' the difficult' bc-twean thm. He w.is ; sensible until the lat mmnt, an.l talkrd ' until the la.t only of religion and of his NUMBER 2. own soul, expiring, indeed, in the midst of a fervent prayer for salvation. It was only about fifteen minutes fiom the time he was shot until he was no more. I'eims 'I vanish Valor Handsome ly Ackiioivledgcd. The following letter will explain itself. As part of the history of the rebellion, it deserves to be printed wherever there is a man who wentforth atthesummons of Gov. Curtin to rally on the border for the de fence of the Commonwealth from invasion. As an j'oknowledgment from one of tho commanding Major Generals of the army, this letter will have a double effect and influence. First, it will have the influence of cheering those who engaged in the first uprising to respond again, should danger once more threaten this State ; and sec ond, it will have the effect of silencing those who have been ridiculing the great energy of his Excellency, -and who are now striving to show that there was no necessity for the demonstration which is thus handsomely acknowledged : "Headquauteks Any v op tu k Potomac, '.S:iAKPSurs, Sej-t. 27, 1SC2. . j" " Governor: I beg to avail myself of almost the first moment of leisurc'l have had eiuce the recent battles, to tender to 3'ou my thanks for your wise and encrgctio action in calling out the militia of Penn sylvania for its defence, when threatened by a numerous and victorious army of the euemy.

In the name of my arm', and for myself, I again tender to you our acknowledge ments for your patriotic course ; the man ner in-which the people of Pennsylvania responded to your call and hastened to the defence of their froutier no doubt ex ercised a great influence upon the enemy.
