460 — For a number of reasons we are com
pelled to issue but a half sheet this week.
The confusion and uncertainty caused by the
rebel invasion, and the necessity for some
preparation to guard against total loss, should
they see lit to visit our town has consumed
so much of our time that we find it impos
sible to get tip a full paper in time for pub
lication. The, oilier papers published in
town having found themselves unable - to come
in full are also issuing but half sheets. We
hope our readers will make an allowance
for unavoidable shortcomings, and we prom
ise that we will hereafter give them the ben
efit of a full issue, provided; of course, that
the rebels keep themselves at a respectful
distance.
Tai FRANKLIN Ilaroarroav Printing
Office, in Chambersburg, was totally de
stroyed by the rebels—all the presses, books,
type, subscription list and accounts ; nothing
being saved. We are informed by Messrs.
McClure & Stoner, that as soon as material
and presses can be supplied, they will re
sume the publication of the REPOSITORY,
and also Tui OLD FLAG—a campaign paper
that has attained a Very large circulation.—
The subscription lists of both papers are de
stroyed. Four copies were secreted in dif
ferent parts of the town, but are burned.—
With their lists, their subscription accounts
were also destroyed, and subscribers should
at once inform McClure & Stoner of their
address, and the state of their subscription
accounts, and all subscribers should prompt
ly remit arrearges and advance subscriptions
to aid the publishers. In addition to their
offices, both of them had their residences
burned, with all their furniture and person
al effects—the rebels not allowing thorn to
save their clothing. Mr. Stoller was fired
at in his own house for attempting to save
the firm books, and the mon who burned Mr.
McClure's residence had special orders that
nothing belonging to him should bo saved.
GEN. COUCH
After the capture and distruction of Cham
bersburg a number of journals denounced
Gen. Couch in the severest manner—attribu
ting the disaster to his incompetency. Col.
lit'Clure, in a letter to the Harrisburg Tele
graph, denies that the General was at all to
blame; and gives him credit for having done all
that could be done to save the town. Col.
lit'Clure asserts that not less than 2600 rebels
were surrounding the town at the time of its
capture. Gep. Couch had but -40-ineu-at his
disposal, and thOrefore could have made no
resistance.
.The letter of Cot lif.tlure is too long for
our columns this week, but we shall publish
it in our next. We were inclined to censure
Gen: Couch - for what seemed to be a desertion
of his post, but we are always anxious to have
the facts of the case brought clearly to light.

AHEM( & WE/LIMEY. Editors & Proprietors
BURNING OF CHA.MBERSBURG.
Again has our State been visited by the
invader, and this time his work has been as
effectual as his 'purpose was fiendish.' The
rebel operations along the Potomac which
have been attracting the attention of the
people during the last week have resulted in
the capture and destruction of Chambersburg.
From what we saw and learned while among
its ruins on Sunday last, we will endeavor
to give our readers some account of this most
barbarous and inhuman outrage. About 6
o'clock on the morning of July 30th, a rebel
force numbering' from 400 to 500, comman
ded by Gem M'Causland, entered Chambers
burg, having driven back a small force of
our troops under the command of 'Lieu
tenant M'Lean who were defending the
place. They immediately made a demand
for $lOO,OOO in gold or its equivalent, at the
same time seizing four orilve of the most
prominent citizens and holding them as host
ages for the payment of the requisition.—
The`• were informed that no such sum as was
demanded could he paid, as there was not
that amount of money in the town. They
then demanded $500,000 and threatened to
burn the town in an hour if the demand was
not complied with. Being told again that it
was imposslhle to furnish the amount requir
ed, orders were given to apply the torch im
mediately. Then began a scene which, for
suffering and distress on the part of the in
habitants and for acts of savage brutality on
the part of the invaders, has no parallel in
the history of civilized warfare. The plan
off' destruction was systematic and complete.
Squads of men, furnished with combustible
material, were detailed for the purpose of
firing each building separately, and thus
prevent the possibility of any escaping the
general conflagration. Those who operated
on the principal streets did their work with
a completeness that must have placed them
high in the estimation of their brutal com
manders. They visited each house and fired
every building that had not already caught
from the spreading flames. On Min street,
between the Spring and Washington street,
a distance of four squares, there are but four
houses remaining, and on the streets crossing
Main street for squares on each side the
destruction has been almost equally complete.
Fay one-half of the area of the town bias
been burnt over, and in value at ]east four
fifths of the property has been consumed.—
To all intents and purposes Chambersburg,
as a town, is obliterated. The Court House,
Town Hall, Bank, Female Seminary, all the
Hotels, all the Stores, Printing Establish,_
ments, Manufactories, Restaurants, and
places of business' of every kind are in
ruins. Nearly'all the offices of the profes
sional men, with their contents, and most of
the finest private residenees'are destroyed.—
By some lucky. accident the law offices of
Messrs. Sharpe and Cook escaped. They
were evidently tired but in some unaccount
able way the flames became extinguished
before they were materially injured. The
private residences of Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Me-
Clellan and rue or two others escaped ; the
better feelings of those who were sent to
destroy them, causing them to yield to the
entreaties of the helpless women who prayed
them not to destroy their dwellings.
The County Prison, Public School Build
ing and Market House also escaped. But
two Chtlrches (the Associate Reformed and
Bethel) were destroyed, the others being sit
uated on the outskirts of town were not
burned. Col. M'Clurc's residence about a
mile out of town was an object of special at
traction for the rebels, no other property in
its neighborhood being. destroyed.
The parties who were operating on the
outskirts of town, in a number of cases,
agreed to spare dwellings in consideration of
a sum of money to be paid by the occupant.
These assessments were in proportion to the
supposed ability of the par) , to pay, and
ranged fsoin fifty to five hundred dollars.—
Most of those who contributed these sums
had their buildings saved, but a few were
burned after the demand had been complied
with and the mercy paid over. One citizen
succeeded in killing two rebels who entered
his house for the purpose of plundering.—
The house was afterward burned and the
bodies of these rebels consumed. A rebel
Major was captured, and in attempting to
escape was killed. Some pretend that he
was Major Gilmore, the " cousin Harry" of
the female traitors of Maryland, who figured
so conspicuously in the former raid. Gil
more was certainly in Chatnbersburg, and
appears to have been prominent for savage
conduct and general brutality, but we fear
that the dead Major and he are not the same
person, but that he is still alive and doubt
less, eager to take part in any similar perfor
mances that may be assigned him.
'We will not attempt to give our readers
any description of the desolated appearance
of Chambershurg. To realize fully the com
pleteness of thii destruction ono must see the
place, and to appreciate the vandalism of its
destroyers, one must hear from the lips of its
homeless and beggared citizens how coolly'
and systematically they performed their fien
dish work, In that portion of the town, we
have described as being completely burned
the behavior of the rebels was absolutely
devilish. The entreaties of helpless women
and children, for time to save only their clo
thing were disregarded, and they were curs
ed for even asking for delay. They deliber
ateLy fired at any, one
,who attempted to
extinguish the flames or prevent their, spread.
The buildings which sheltered the dead
and dying wore not exempted . from the
general destruction, and in one instance
a corpse was 'carried from a dwelling and
hurriedly .covered with earth, so that the'
presence Of the dead might not deter the ma
rauders from burning and plundering that
ono dwelling. Aobberies : were_ committed
on- every band. Citiiens were seized and
threatened with instant death if they refused
to part with money and valuables, and oven
women escaping from their burning homes
with a few articles of clothing hastily
snatched from the flames were fortied to give
thentup. : - A yOung lady who supported her
self and mother by giving music lessons
begged .the fiends who. came t,B burn her
dwelling to liave her piano, telling. them it
was her only means of, support: ,Not Con
tent...with denying her : this poor favor, they'
broke up her s furniture and with It - limbed
the fire urufer her instillment, in her very
presence. Score's of similar oecur'rendeS
might be aerated, but'enough: hae . beeti al.
ready told. We wish for the sake of a com
mon humanity that these outrages could be
concealed or palliated. That men who claim
to be human beings could deliberately and
intentionally perpetrate such outrages and
cause such suffePing and distress without any
purpose or object beyond the gratification of
their desire for plunder and destruction, we
could not believe until the smoking ruins of
Chambersburg, convinced us of the fact.
No act of the whole war, has so complete
ly exposed the animus of the rebel leaders, as
this last and crowning deed of infamy.—
Heretofore they have studied well their parts,
and although they are morally guilty of
every conceivable crime, yet their general
conduct has been such as to gain for them
the reputation of obeying as nearly as possi
ble the laws of civilized war. But in this
invasion they have thrown aside their assu
med characters and have appeared as them
selves. They came not for the purpose of
destroying our stores or capturing them for
themselves, or of breaking railroad commu
nications, intercepting re-inforcements or
supplies, occupying the country or other le
itimate object of invasion but alone for the
purpose of destroying our towns and render
ing private citizens who had never borne
arms against them homeless and destitute.
They attempted nothing more, but confined
themselves, wholly to the cowardly work of
robbers and incendiaries. They have de
stroyed a town merely because their worst
feel i ngs demanded its destruction. Their rul
ers destroyed a Government for precisely the
same reasons. While we curse the barbarity
of the men who ordered the destruction of
the town, why is it that we cannot realize
fully the inexcusable wickedness of those wbo
commenced and continued a war of which
this act is merely an incident?
Tlta We have called the attention of our
citizens to the importance of organizing and
arming themselves for their own def.. nee so
frequently that nothing but the absolute ne
cessity of the tines could induce us to allude
to it again. We are, doubtless a brave peo
ple. Our contempt for danger is magnificent.
We can hear of the burning of a town with
in a day's march of our• own, without feeling
any concern for the safety of our own prop
erty and homes. We feel pretty well az
sured that if Carlisle were captured by the
rebels to day, it would be in ashes to-mor
row. We know that so far as our own ef
forts go, the same force that entered Chain
bersburg could come here without any oppo
sition and yet we are as indifferent and care
less when asked to take measures for self-de
fense as if there wasn't un armed rebel north
of Florida. We have even the impudence
to say, that if the men of Chambersburg had
been properly organized and comanded. it
would have been impossible for the rebels to
have captured the town, while we know that
however great their carelessness -and want of
preparation may have been it couldn't possibly
eqnal ours. W,' sometimes beeome terribly
enraged when the people of other states
charge us with cowardice and want of pa
triotism but we never once think how fairly
our own actions entitle us to their scorn.
We need say nothing further concerning
the danger and the necessity for organiza
tion. Those who imagine that we are en
tirely safe can only be convinced of danger
by such arguments as were used by the
rebels at Gliambersburg, and those who think
they have no duties to perform in an enter
geney such as this, are not worth wasting ar
guments on. There is only one way to ef
fect any result. Let every one who feels the
importance of taking some action in this
inatterexert himself in eery possible manner
to effect a complete Organization of the whole
community. No man who is able to do
military duty has any right to be shirking.
The community has a right to demand from
every able-bodied citizen, an effort to pre
vent the destruction that is now certain to
Callow a rebel invasion. If men were made
to feel that they would secure the contempt
of the community by refusing to join a mili
tary organiz.ation : and that the paltry ex
cuses we hear every day for a neglect of dit
ty. wmtbi bu rev ived as :•:,nclusive evidence
ut disloy.:l , ? or laca of son-t. ~n the part of
:::1 •.:ng them, we ivould very soon
nave a : :mplete organization. Men have:
no right ui shirk a duty because they please
to say that they don't like the commander
of the Department or that proper action has
notbeen taken to protect the valley, or for any
other opinion they my see tit to entertain. It
is a duty that every one owes to himself and
to the community to put hittiselrin condi
tion to repel the invasion that every man
knows threatens us.
Of the raid into Pennsylvania, which on
Saturday got dignified into an invasion, with
the traditional three columns, we now hear
nothing, except as a cavalry demonstration
on Chambersburg. The pitiful appeal for
aid to the citizens of that half-burnt town
implies that the Rebel force has already re
tired. The awiftness of its citizens to invoke
relief from their own losses is in unpleasant
contrast to their previous alacrity in retreat
ing when a defense might have helped the
country.—N. Y. Tribune.
Although a friend and admirer of the Tri
bune we denounce this heartless fling at the
victims of rebel barbarity, as unworthy of
any paper in the land. The citizens of Chain
bersburg have been no swifter to invoke re
lief than would any other human beings sitn •
ilarly situated. It is the right of women
and children who have been made destitute
by the work of incendiaries and robbers to.
askfor immediate relief, and all good men
should take pleasure in contributing liber
ally. We are not excusing the want of ef
fort on the part of our border Counties to de
fend themselves. They have neglected their
duty in this respect, butthat neglect is no rea
son why they should be insulted when they aro
made destitute by an act of vandalism, they
had no right to expect or guard against.
We protest hgainst this taunt thrown out to
hundreds of helpless women and children
Whose destitution to day should commend
them to sympathy of every humanO man in
the Country. The Tribune's Ili:mg advocacy
of, the principles of liberality. and benOvii
lenee should have -prevented.this heartless
and inexcusable insult. . •. • .

They meet a Galling Fire and .
Suffer Heavy Losses.
WASHINGTON, August 1.
Information from the Army of the
mac dated July 30. 9P. M., says.: After
the explosion this morning everythingibe
tokened a brilliant victory, but soon after
matters assumed a different aspect, part of
the attacking force having given way, thus
exposing the balance to an enfilading fire
from both artillery and infantry.
The programme, was as fellows : The
mine to be exploded at 3 A. M., and the
batteries to open at once along the entire
line. The 9th Corps to-day supported 'by
the 18th, Ayres division of. the sth, and
the 3d division of the 2d. The greater part
of the arrangement was carried out as or
dered, although the commencement was lat
er than the hour designated, on account of
the fuse going out twice.
The exjlosiUn took place at precisely 4:40,
and the roar of artillery that immediately
followed was almost deafening. At 5 'du the
charge was made, and the fort with part of
the line ea Is side was carried in brilliant
style.
. .
The Second division which was in thecen
tre, advanced and crossed the second line,
a short distance beyond the fort, and here
rested, holding their ground with the utmost
determination.
It was at this time that the colored divis
ion, Brig. Gen. White in command, were
pushed forward and ordered to charge -and
carry the crest of the hill, which would have
decided the contest.
The troops advanced in good order as far
as the first line, when they received a gall
ing fire which checked thorn, and although
quite a number kept on, the greater portion
seemed to have become utterly demoralized,
part taking refuge in the fort and the bal
ance running to the rear as fast as possible.
They were rallied and pushed forward a
gain ; but without success. The greater part
of their officers being killed and wounded
during this time, they seemed to be without
any one to manage them, when they finally
fell back to the rear, out of range of the vol
leys of canister and musketry that were
ploughing through their ranks.
'Theft• losses are very heavy, particularly
in officers, as will be seen by the following
figures : The 2;; U. S. colored regiment had
15 officers killed and wounded, and lost about
400 men including the missing. The 28th
U. S. colored regiment had 11 officers and
shout 150 men, killed, wounded and miss
ing. The 27th U. S. colored regiment had
six officers and about 150 men killed, woun
ded and missing. The 29th U. S. colored
regiment had 8 officers and about 175 men
killed wounded arid missing. The 31st U.
S. colored regiment had 7 officers and about
200 men killed, wounded and missing. The
43d U. S. colored regiment lost 6 officers and
a large number of men. The 39th U. S.
colored regiment lost several officers mud 150
men killed, wounded and missing.
'l•he less in the Second division of the
Ninth corps ((pen. Ledliecummanding) wus
very severe, being estimated at from 1,1)00
to 1,200, while many make the figure larg-
Among those I regret to an
nounce the nano• of Gen. Bartlett, who
reached the fort with his command, and his
cork leg being accidently broken he was un
able to get oil the ticld. lie however held
possession of the ground for several hours
and only surrendered when all hope of es
cape was go ne.
Some two hundred men, both black and
white, were with him it is believed at the
time, a few of whom managed to get back to
our lines amidst a storm of bullet , .
Nearly all of Gen. Bartlett's stall' were
captured at the same time.
(Jul. Marshall commanding the Second
brigade of this division, was also taken pris
oner, with several of his staff.
Col. Wild, of the 56th Mass., colored, is
also reported a prisoner. Cu!. Gould, fifuli
Mass., lost a kg, Major Barton, 1791,11 New
York, also lost a leg. Lieut. Col. Barney,
2d Pa., wounded ; Major Prescott, b7th
Mass., killed ; Lieut. Cu!. Rose, 31st U. S.
leg amputated.
This division, having been a good deal in
advance of the rest of the line, held their po
sition for several hours, but were finally . com
pelled to fall back, suffering heavily while
doin • so.

31st.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2
Despatches from' Headquarters of the Ar
my of the Potomac to July 31st, 0 P. st., say
that the exact losses in the battle of yester
day have nut been officially ascertained, but
as near as can be judged will foot up about
2,500, not including the missing, and many
believe the figures will turn out to be larg
er.
In the hospital of the Ninth Corps, the
Ist division has 206 ; the 2d division, 807;
the 3d division, 341; the 4th division, (col
ored.) 620, be - ides a large number lying on
the field between the lines who cannot be got
off.
The Eighteenth Corps lost nearly 300 men,
while Turner's division of the Tenth Corps
had nearly 400 killed and wounded.
A flag of truce was sent out to the enemy
to-day for the purpose of getting the remain
der off, the field, but it was refused, the rea
son not being given.
Gen. Butter also sent out a flag of truce
from his lines to-day, which was likewise
refused, the officer giving no reason except
his orders, which were peremptory not to
accept a flag of truce-under any eircumstan
:cos.
They also refuse to exchange papers, and
the men are so closely watched by their offi
cers that they have no chance of exchanging
'them, though they are always willing to do
so: Thero must be some good reason for this, .
and manybelieve their line is veiy weak,
while others think they have some extensive
move on foot and are afraid of its becoming
known to us. 'the raid into Pennsylvania
may be the reason and they wish to keep it
us quiet as possible.
All the wounded that have boon brought
in aro being well eared for, the medical ar
rangements being. ample.
The lines of the two armies are about the
same as before the battle, and picket firing
has been constantly kept up since its term
nation.
The number of prisoners captured and.
brought in was 252, the highest rank among
them being a captain. They are a healthy
jooking set of mon, but their dress . presents
the usual dirty and ragged appearance.
The report sent yesterday morning that
the colored troops had captured an entire
brigade, has po foundation in fact, every
prisoner taken having been brought in by
• white men.
The following officers, mostly captured
front. Gen. Huntees ,command in, the Shen

NASHVILLE, July 31
Najor=General Thomas, commanding the
army of the Cumberland, has issued the fol
lowing interesting circular to the army near
Atlanta:
AItMY IigADQUARTERS, July 26.
The Major General commanding the army
congratulates the troops upon the brilliant
success•attending the Union army in the late
battles.
In the battle of the 20th inst., in which
the 20th Corps, ono division of the 4th
Corps, and a part of the 14th Corps were en
gaged, the total Union loss was—killed,
wounded and missing, 733. In front of the
20th Corps there were put out of fight 6,000
rebels.
Fite hundred and sixty-three of the ene
my wore buried by our own troops, and the
rebels were permitted to bury two hundred
and4tfty of their dead.
The 2d Division of the Corps repulsed
seven• different assaults of the enemy with
slighti loss to themselves. This fight must
have.swelled the number of dead and buried
by tIW rebels to beyond 301). We also cap
tured seven stand of colors.
No official report has been received of the
part taken in the battle by the 11th Corps.
By comma-id of Major Gen. THOMAS.
The battle of the 22,d ult., was a flank at
tack of the enemy upon our left. During
that 4ttack the 17th Uorpe was partially cut
up, fitt not until it had repulsed several of
the desperkte charges of the rebels and af
forded time for Gen. Logan, who temporari
ly succeeded McPherson in command of the
Army of-the Tennessee, to face about and
repel the assaults made on him.
Our correspondents with the army state
that the rebels were driven back to their last
line of works around the city.
In the battle on the 22d the total Union
loss in killed, .wounded and missing was
3,500, and 10 pieces of artillery. The rebel
loss in captured was 3,200. The known dead
of the enemy in front of the 16th and ll4h
Corps, and one division of the 17th, was
2,147:
The other divisions of the 17th Corps re
pulsed six assaults of the enemy before they
fell back, which will swell the rebel loss in
killed to at least 3,t5i0.
The latest report states that we buried over
3,200 rebels killed in the tight. We cap
tured from the enemy in this battle 18 stands
of colors and 5,000 stands of arms.
The battle of the 28th was an assault in
force on the 15th Corps, and appears to have
resulted in as complete a defeat of the rebels
as that of the 22d.
642 dead rebels were buried by our forces
after that battle.
Gen. Stanley succeeds Gen. Howard in
command cif the .Ith Corps.
General Howard has been assigned to the
command of the Army of the Tennessee, in

A PROCLAMATION:

National defence
Therefore I, A NDII E G. CURTIN,

by the ConWtntion• do hereby convene the
General Assembly of this Commonwealth.
and require the members of the Senate mid

A tio UST, 1864, at twelve, o'clock noon, of

the occasion.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set

ELI SLIFER,
Secretary of the Commonwealth
Oa General Hunter has taken measures to
punish Maryland traitors. He directs that
all persons who are known to have pointed
out, the property of good Union men for
despoil are to be promptly arrested and sent
to Harper's Ferry. The mules will thence
be sent to the military prison at Wheeling,
and the females beyond our lines South.
Their "houses are to be seized and used for
Government hospitals and storehouses, and
their furniture will be sold at auction for the
benefit of those citizens who are known to
have suffered by information given by those
partio.
TUCKER, Sanders, and Thompson, who
are included among the pretended rebel
peace commissioners at Niagara Fulls, are
all heavy defaulters to the Union Govern
ment. , Sanders is behind sonic thirty thous
and dollars as Navy agent under Buchanan
at Now York. Tucker defrauded the Gov
ornrarat outorabout eight thousand dollars
through the Liverpool consulate, given him
by Buchanan ; and Thompson; as Buchanan's
Secretary of the Interior, engineered, the
groat Indian bond fraud of eight hundred
thousand dollars. Now that these worthies
aro near by, had they not better stop over
and settle ?

WANTED.—An active, intelligent boy
seventeen years of age, and of good moral
character, to learn the printing. Enquire
at the HERALD Office.
VOLUNTEER COMPANTES.—WO are
pleased to learn that en effort is at last being
made for self-defence. On Monday Evening
a company numbering about eighty men
under the command of Capt. John Turner
for the purpose of preparing for the defense
of the valley WAS formed.
Another company is forming and it is ex
pected will be fully organized in a day or
two. This is commendable and looks as if
we appreciate our situation and were deter
mined to dci something. Let evei'y man in t
town connect himself witli one of the coin
mnies at Once.
SOLDIERS' DISTURBANCES.—On Sat
urday, a large Wagon train passed through
town attended by a great number of soldiers
who were at the time supposed to be a guard,
butmost of whom are now known to he desert
ers. The Commandant at the Garrison imme
diately took measures to stop these stragglers.
Since then we have been frequently disturbed
by quarrels and fights in which they have
borne a conspicuous part. Large patrols are
constantly out for the purpose of arresting
those who are disorderly or are absent from
their camp without leave. There are so
many of them hoWever, that it is impossible
to prevent frequent disturbances. Our com
munity- will feel much relieved when these
stragglers have all been returned to their re
giments.
OuraAGEous.--Wo learn that Mr.
VEAL DuxrtN, who resides near town, was
severely injured on :Monday last, by one of
the many straggling soldiers who have horn
arriving here during the week. The fellow
was discovered stealing turkeys from Dun-
Van, who endeavored to drive him ;may--
This interferener with his assumed rights the
soldier resented by seizing a pitch-fork and
inflicting IL severe wound in Mr. D's left arm
and„side. We have not learned what has
bin d one w i t h th e soldier, but WO hflre he
nuty receive a punishment seven , enough to
deter him front committing any out
rages.
DarOn Sunday morning the court
house bell WAS tolled, when a meeting at nave
asseniblcd to devit‘o means for rendering as
skeane° to the Chambershurg sufferers.—
Committees were appointed, who at olive
proceeded to oollect looney, provision: , and
clothing. In a few hours some $, - ,00 or Sil(al
in money, together with large supplies of
provision., such as fresh and salt Itecf, ham,
bread, flour, cheese, eggs and vegetables,
were collected in the market house where
they were placed in a '•ar, and Plevomplknied
by n committee, sent to the stars ing 'maple
of Chambersburg. This large. contribution
was worthy of and creditable to our people.
SPECIAL ELECTION
The election held last„Tuesday, for the
purpose of ratifying or rejecting the pro
posed Amendments to the Constitution
of our State, passed off very quietly.--
There was not a full vote out, nor was
there much feeling or interest manifested.
At the time of making up our paper we
have received no returns from any part
of the county except the Carlisle District.
ludgiug from the result hero, we think
the county has cast a majority fur all the
Amendments, although that cast for the
first will be rather light. From other
parts of the State we have but few re
turns; these indicate, however, that the
Amendments „liave been adopted. Next
week wo will give full returns, and call
attention to , the political complexion of
the districts which cast majorities for and
against the Amendments. We give here
the result in the Carlisle District:
