D. Harbison Dear Sir: Having heard your discourse of the 6th inst., and believing, in view of the great National dif ficulties afflicting our contry, that the pub lic good would be promoted by-its publica tion, we respectfully request a copy of it for that purpose. Yours, Very Trulv. &c, GEO. M. REEP, E. ROBERTS, J. MOORE, JOHN WILLIAMS, RICHD. JONES, Jh. JAMES PURSB, JOHN THOMPSON. Ebeksbcro, 8A August, 1863. Messrs. Geo. M. Reeo,E. Roberts, J. Moore, and others Dear Sirs: The discourse referred to was hurriedly prepared to fulfill the pleasant du ties of the late National Thanksgiving Day; and in my judgment is not worthy of the publicity which j'our partiality would give it. Nevertheless, I now comply with the request of esteemed friends, believing that in times like these every good citiien is under a mor al obligation, from which no consideration can absolve him, to do his utmost by word and deed to sustain and strengthen this benign government which so generously throws the broad shield of protection over all. It would be joy indeed to my potil to know that any sentiments annunciated on that happy dny would stimulate the christian patriotism of our Mountain County. Hoping that your expectations of usefulness to the good cause msy be realized in this contemplated publication, and praving that we may soon meet again in God'3 house to give him thanks for a righteous and honor able peace, I remain, respectfully, Your friend and Pastor, D. HARBISON. "And the victory that day was turned into mourning." 2d Samuel, xix, 2. . The lights and shadows that mark the progress of human life not unfrequently succeed each other with a rapidity that is amazing. A'3 the briprht sunshine from an unclouded "sky is followed by the flit ting shadow that casts comparative dark ness over the object that glittered in the noontide beam, so man's day cf joy is often turned into heaviness. Our short life here is indeed a checkered sceDe, made up of hope and fear, light and dark ness, joy and sorrow ; and thus, "to every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven: a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance."- It is one of the wise arrangements of Providence that our journey through life should be varied with the alternate scenes of rough and plain, crooked and straight, and that the strains with which we beguile the weary pilgrimage should not be the monotonous notes of sorrow on the one hand, or of joy on the other, but that we should sing both of mercy and of judgment. It is, there fore, not only a divine injunction, but it exactly accords with what is proper and wise for us to '"rejoice with trembling." Opposite emotions often become so blen ded that it is with difficulty the one is distinguished from the other. We almost invariably find the necessity of deducting something from cur happiness, lest our joy should become immoderate. Is there not a probability that the day of adversity may come close upon the day of prosper ity ? Hence it is that our purest and highest earthly joys are seldom unmingled. As we drink the cup of bliss, an unseen hand may dash it to the ground. As our hearts rise with pleasurable emotions, the recollection ot the high price paid for these may suggest thoughts that will in terrupt tho loftiest joy. Hope and fear, pleasure and pain become commingled, and the shouts of victory die away amidst the wailings of the wounded, the groans of the dying, and the lamentations of hearts made desolatl by the casualties of war. Tho words of our text furnish an affecting illustration of this truth, both as regards the occasion on which they were first uttered and in reference to the Na tional victories for which we this day devoutly give thanks to Almighty God "And the victory that day was turned into mourning." It might seem strange that vre should choose a subject at all suggestive of what is sad and melancholy on an occasion like the present, when the nation is called by the President, in the manifold mercies of a favoring Providence, to rejoice and give thanks in view cf what God has recently wrought by our armies on many battle fields gallantly won by patriotic soldiers. "Bat a little reflection will show us. abun dant reason to aiingle regret with glad ness, and sorrow with joy, and mourning with the' shouts or victory both these emotions may with propriety be indulged j to eonce extent 'in our present natiQnaj 1 EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1863. situation. Lest we should be swallowed up with over-much sorrow, God has heard our cries on days of humiliation and prayer, and at length ha3 given us abun dant reason for joy and thanksgiving. And now, lest our gladness should be excessive, He reminds us of the propriety of mingling our lamentatious with the lofty acclamations of victory. It might be proper to glance briefly at the circumstances under which the lan guage before us was originally employed. A wicked and wide-spread conspiracy had been formed that had for its object the destruction of that government which was appointed and set up, and prospered and defended by God himself. Many who were under special obligation to sustain and strengthen the government of Israel renounced their allegiance, audlent them selves to aid a "rebellion which is as the sin of witchcraft." The King's own son brought the guilt of treason upon his soul, and rallied around the standard of revolt an ill-advised and countless multitude. That fearful insurrection seriously threat ened the stability and unity and very existence of the lsraelitish nation. It was, therefore, an absolute necessity to defend the existing and legitimate gov ernment against all its enemies. And after a hard-fought battle in the woods of Ephraim, victory perched upon the ban ners of the royal army. The military success there achieved was decisive and complete, and was the. death-blow to Absalom's infamous and unprovoked re bellion. King David' di'd not accompany the army cn that memorable expedition, but still he felt an absorbing interest in the issue of the conflict, and was specially concerned for the safety of a rebel son who had taken up arms against his crown and kingdom. When he learned the fate of battle, and felt the bitterness of his bereavement intensified by "the reflection that Absalom had died not only in the midst of his days but also in the midst of his sins, the dignity of the monarch was lost sight of and forgotten, and the feeN ings of a father's heart gained the mas tery. He wa3 moved to teurs, and wept, and said, "Would God that I had died for thee, my son, my son." The valiant warriors who had hazarded their lives on the high places of the field for the honor and glcry'of their king and nation were deeply affected at the sight, "and gat them by stealth-that day into the cit', as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle; and the victory that day was turned into mourning." Is it difficult to discover many points of striking similarity between that nation and our own ? The resemblance appears not only in the early history and in the rapid material prosperity, but also iu the perilous times upon which unhappily we have fallen. Tho conspiracy to destroy our government conceived and matured by men in high places the armed revolt and terrible conflict and immense sacrifice of human life in order to make the treason successful, and the signal discomfiture of the rebel army completes the likeness, and strengthens our conviction that the issue of the conflict will be like that de struction with whieh Absalom's rebellion was overwhelmed and auuihilated. May it not be truly said of the impor tant victories with which Providence has crowned our armies that mourning is mingled with them all ? Let u contem plate, merely for a moment, the circum stances of actual battle, and the terrible consequences which necessarily result from a hard fought engagement between two hostile ' armies. And here we must remember that the half has never been told of the sorrows and sufferings endured by our country's brave defenders. Cor respondents on the field can see but a small part of the wild dash aud impetuous charge in which manya hero falls to ri-e no more ; even what is seen is beyond the power of human language ' so to describe that we can form proper conceptions of the dread rtality. And yet enough is seen - and heard, understood and felt to verify the remark that the voice of mourning is heard amidst the shouts of victory. While some rejoice, others feel the bitterness of war's desolation. Every victory costs a price that is wholly incalculable.- We speak not now of the waste of perishable property , of fields ravaged and fruitful valleys trampled inta a wil derness. Nor do we refer to the immense slaughter among . the : brute creation, nor the countless treasures spent in sustaining the deadly combat. There, is a, cost in victory beyond the power of au angel's arithmetic to reckon in the wounds. and bruisus aud pains inflicted upon the actual combatants. None but those who have gone over the battle field during or imme diately after a hot encounter, can form any proper conception -of the agony felt by huudreds and thousands recently whole and hale, now maimed and bleeding and helpless, How would we stand aghast at - witnessing the instant destruction of a single individual by a deed of violence how would our tenderest sympathies be aroused did we see a neighbor or friend mutilated and doomed to drag out life while unfitted for its burdens ! Then who can tell or what heart can imagine the immense sufferings endured by - many thousands of brave men helplessly carried from the field, leaving parts of themselves behind and bearing the scars of war on their mangled and dismembered. bodies! These arc the necessary accompaniments of victory, and the sad thought that the battle is won at such a price leads us to mourn while wc rejoice. In the cost of victory is to be included the immense loss of valuable lives. The poorest, the most obscure soldier in the ranks fills an important place in some social circle. Family attachments and extensive-usefulness do not depend upon military rank and office, .and when we think of the material of which our armies are composed the young and promising, the middle aged, and gray headed, men sustaining the various relations of sens and brothers, husbands and fathers, in the highest a3 well as in the lowest walks of social life we cannot be insensible to the mournful fact that when the common soldier falls at his po3t of duty, just a3 truly as when the superior officer is strick en down, many affectionate hearts are made sad. And the multitudes of widows and orphans rendered desolate by a single battlo, furnish a melancholy commentary on these inspired words, "the victory was turned into mourning. Another oppressive thought suggests itself in this connection. One of the considerations which serve to reconcile us to the separations produced by death, is the preparedness of the soul to appear before God. Is there not reason to fear, from the deplorable state of morals known to exist in an army, that many there neg lect the one thinf? needful. It is awful to rush into the presence of God, unprepared to give an account cf the deeds done in the body. We are infinitely far from supposing that the war in, which our 'jrovcrnment is now engaged, is useless or unlawful or indefensible. The guilt of blood so copiously she! must rest on those who causelessly took up arms and plunged the Nation into these horrors of civil war. And we are as far from intimating that the salvation of a man who dies in battle is cither impossiblo or improbable. A good soldier of Jesus Christ may be a valiant soldier of the llepublic, and falling before the fire of the enemy, his soul will rise to glory. But we cannot forget the profanity and indifference and irreligion that so lamentably prevail in military life, and when victory is bought at the cannon's mouth, feelings of sorrow and regret in stinctively commingle with those of grati tude and gladness. I3ut let us inquire whether there is not yet another ground for grief connected with some of our late important National victories: . Let nono suppose that we lightly esteem the valuable victories with which Providence has recently crowned our arms. We consider them most sea sonable and encouraging, and gsing far to constrain the enemy to cease the contest. . We feel incompeteut to estimate the ini- portance of that grand success achieved by the Army ot the l'otomac on the border counties of our own Commonwealth. An implacable foe, inflated with the visionary hope of conquest, rushed with his trained bands upon our border, scattering dismay among the people and committing every exces"s upon the. peace and "property of unarmed citizens. That was one of the darkest hours in the darkest day of the Republic. The national army had suffered defeat, and many brave hearts were qua: king then for fear. Poor and hasty were the preparations made to repel the insolent invader, and to add to the general disqui etude and apprehension, the command was assigned to another at the mast critical moment of the entire campaign. . When we review the history of that memorable march, and eventful battle, and important victory; when we think of tho thousands fleeing in wild dismay from cherished homes, powerless to defend themselves from the ruthless foe, our main army dis pirited, weary and worn, we cannot regard our creat success as other than a most marked and , merciful ' interposition of a kind and favoring Providence. V.I it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when 'man rose 'up against us, then tho waters had overwhelmed' us, the. stream had gone over our : soul.' 'Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us a prey to their teeth' It is God who putteth down I one and raisetu up another, lio went forth with our hosts, attended our army to the fight; and gave us a most marvellous and signal victory. " Never was.a victory more wonderful, never was a victory more valuable. We even yet. tremble at the thought of disaster on' that momentous - '- . . . . -'--'r . - : .. j . occasion. Had our brave defenders been driven back, leaving their countless dead upon the field, and their wounded in the bunds of the enemy, oh 1 what consternation and alarm would have spread with light ning speed from Pittsburg to Philadelphia, from Maryland to the York state line. Imagination can sketch the dreadful pic ture of cities packed and reduced to ashes; railroads ruined, or in the enemy's ser vice; trade paralyzed ; farmers and mer chants plundered, and all of us ?t the mercy of an enemy whose tender r.isrcifJt are cruelty. From these 6ad desolations God has mercifully delivered us, and for this goodness wc will sing a perpetual song of praise. He endowed our Geuerals with skill, He gave cur soldiers courage and strength and endurance, so that they quit themselves like men ; and on those memo rable day3 around the hills of Gettysburg our brave and valiant warriors fought and won a victory that in importance is second to none of which we have any recollection. While wc do not then by any means undervalue that inestimable victory, but on the other hand feel most fervent grat itude to God for it, and warmest gratitude to the soldiers through -whose instrumen tality God gave it us, we mourn the im mense los3 of valuable lives, and the fam ilies that are made desolate. We mourn the terrible suffering endured by. the thousands there seriously wounded. But on another ground this grand victory was turned into mourning. , While -we are deeply thankful for what was done, with out attaching blanio or censure to any, wc cannot but feel regret that more was not accomplished.' Vt'e mourn that a solitary invader of our soil teas permitted to escape, and especially we mourn that the rebel jen trcd did not fall into our hands, that he might receive the due reward of his perfidy and ingratitude, in drawing the sword against a Government he had sworn to defend, 'and that honored him with an important trust of which he has loutr since proved himself to be unworthy. -.-While wc have this cause for sorrow, let us not forget our abundant reasons fur rejoicing; there is nothing more contemptible than a disposition that sours every enjoyment by discontent. -There are those so consti tuted with narrow nd shallow and evil minds, who. can. never find anything grat ifying is our national success. They look continually for exceptions, and in things the most praise worthy, their sagacity Ls exerted to make deductions. When our ears are greetel with the pleasing souuds of victory, thoir Cain-like countenance falls, as if the death knell was ruDg over their selfish political aspirations. "O, my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honor, be not thou united." CbfLstiaa patriots, lovers of your na tional name and glory, be not yc like such craven hearted murmurers. Be not in sensible to the numberless blessings of a favoring Providence, and the many hope ful indications thut Jjrighteu our national prospects. Our joy is rational; may our gratitude be fervent iu view ot what God has wrought not only in our own deliver ance, but in the equally important succe-s? of our arms on the dictnat Mississippi, in the capture of the enemy's stronghold, with garrison and munitions of war, at Vicksburg aud Port Hudson, at Helena and Tullahoma. These are all most val uable victories, reducing the strength of the rebellion to the extent of nearly one hundred thousand men in killed and woun ded and prisoners of war. If equal. suc cess would crown our arms durir.g the coming fall, the rebellion would be dead and buried in a dishonored grave before the dawn of New Yearg morn. And with the full consciousness cf our cause being just and holybelieving God to be cn our side and that we shall yet prevail, why should the auspicious day of peace be postponed by party strife and political bickeriugs among the professed friends of freedom and order and legitimate civil government. Ah, it Is this uuhappy and unnecessary division in the public senti ment of the North, engendered by the. greed cf gain, and gloried in by armed traitors at the Soufh, that has caused this devatatiug war to be prolonged. And while we bite and devour one another at home, and run fhe'risk of being consumed one of another, the public enemy rejoices and takes courage and gathers strength in our dissensions to renew the combat. V Let us hot forget that iu Union there i.? strength, and if divided we must fall. Every good citize.n,: crery sincere -christian is morally bound to sustain the powcis that be which are ordained of Gcd, by ucuouncing the rebellion and its abettors,' a'nd cheering on ro victory the eelf-denying heroes that battle, for our National exis tence. It is only-' the abandoned and worthless and self-iecJcing ' politician that encourages division, that winks at or excuses the mob violence .which wantonly murders and 'robs and -ravage?,. ; The NUMBER 48. down-trodden and abject classes of Euro pean despotism have recently shown their unfitness to enjoy free. Institutions,. and their unworthiness of that protection and prosperity denied them in their fatherland1, but which all may. find in this ' land of; liberty. . The outbreak to which we refer puts new life and energy into an exhausted and expiring rebellion, and causes a prolongation of hostilities. While wo deeply lament such lawlessness and insTib ordination, we specially feci grieved at the thought that men pretending to honor and intelligence and patriotism have no language of condemnation, but- rather secretly - applaud and connive at th desperation of an ill-advised and infuriated rabble. Let all vile outlaws soon find their low political level ; and let tha majesty of law and order bo carried in ljfty triumph by a virtuous population to a victory where there is no mourning mingled with the glad hosannahs of a rejoicing nation. Rejoice, then, fellow citizens, on thia happy day, but join trembling with your mirth. The war is not yet ended ; we are still engaged with a foe fired by tho worst passions of maliea and wickedness: We know not to what excess he may bo permitted to'go, for he is a rod in tha hand of a righteous God by which we aro scourged for our grievous nation! flins - i While we praise God for what he has done for us, we must continue instant ia prayer to him for his presence and bles sing to be with our Army and Navy and give u more important victories. Ho can save by many er by few. He can turn the enemy's counsel into foolishness, and cause his heart to fail in the day of battle. You remsinber how the haughty Sencacharib invaded tho land of Judea. spreading terror among the people and threatening to capture the national cap ital, but Hezekiah called upon God, and "that night an angel of the Lord smote in the carcp of -tho Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand." Let 'our ardoprayer3 continue to ascend to our fathers' God on behalf of our bleeding country, and we shall find deliverance. Let us study to bo grateful for mercies past not only now, but always, and daily ask, what shall w? render to tho Lord for all his benefits?; Finally, let us show our gratitude bp -making a worthy thank offering to those noLle men who periled life and limb in the thickest of the fight. Is it necessary for roe to appeal to your christian sympathy and large-hearted liberality on behalf of those brave meti whoso blood wa3 shed oa the hills and valleys around Gettysburg .who tolled and fought in the trenches before tho besieged Vicksburg, and who heroically fight our battles on Morris Island hi Charleston harbor. Many wc know aro plca.-ed atan opportunity to give for thi relief of our sick arid wounded soldier who manfully stood bctween-our peaceful and endangered homes, aud the wrathful enemy who Was about to divide the spoil. These men have a righteous claini upon our sympathies, our gratitude, our bencd cence. And when you cast your quarters and dollars and fives thia dny into tho common collection, think it not a charity, but an instalment of an honest debt which 3'our whole life will be too short entirely to liquidate. Ah, ye noble and gallant soldiers who generously fell and freely bled, that wo might this day walk the earth erect, unscathed aud unmolested. Ye brave countrymen who left your homes and families to defend ours from the violence of perjured rebels we admire your fortitude, we see you uncomplainingly stretched helpless and exhausted on teds of suffering far away we hear you say, "we grudge cot our services to our country, we fell at our post, we tried to do our duty, and if able we .would do tho same tea times again." Ycu shall not waut the cup of cold water,, nor tha hos pital stores, nor the faithful nurse : such as we have give we unto you, and through, the agency of the Christian Commission wo send our offerings, and to God wo present our prayers in behalf of your bodies and your souls. fcC?"
