of the barwtml olTutcrs of the Court of

the following proceeding were had :
Un motion of1 11. W. Downey, Esq.,
John l'lielitii, ,,., was called to the
chulr, nnd IJ. 11. 1. Ilitds, Esq., elected
Sccretnry.
K. W. Downey, Esd.; in a few brief1
remnrkx, paid ft high tribute td the char
acter f if the decensed.
On motioti of C. A. Black, Esq., n
committee consisting of J. A J. Buchan
an, It. W. Downey and C. A. Ulac.k,
Esqrs., was appointed by the chair to
prepare resolutions expressive
senso of the meeting.
Tlio said committee, through itsciluil
man, made tiio following report i
Wiikhkas, We have heard with deep
regret, of tho death of our esteemed
brother, Cant. William C, Lindsey, who
fell nt the head of his columns whilst
leading a gallant charge on Hagerstovvn.
And whilst we would fain have him
spared, to fill a mission commensurate
with his intellect, his patriotism and va
lor, wo nevertheless bow in sadness,
though submission, to. the will of Him
who knowcth Ai.r,
Our young brother was permitted to
practice with us, and remain long en
ough among us to establish his charaiiter
as an able though honorable practitioner,
a fvere critic of the literature as well as
learning of the bar, and a high toned
and rom-icous ceiitleinaii. ,
Being unselfish, and exalted in his
own thoughts:, he nlwnys mu.isiued oth
ers by ih'e standard of his own menu,
which ever enable 1 him to pass in one
step from (KqiutinUmce to a fitenddip that
was not apt to break. As a prornhnul
man, his months had only marked one
year on the dial plate of time yet hav
ing stepped, in advance of young men of
his years, to a heavy practice at the bar,
we had siflhYieut business intcrcourte
With him to justify us in the belief that
his clear niatheniatical mind, his literary
taste, his untiring energy, his methodical
habits, his glowing imagination, his un
selfish friendship, mid his high colloquial
powers, which gave ns cause to guard
agalilst hint as an adversary 'around the
council table, but love hfm as an compa
nion around the social board 'would
lead him to distinction in his profession
But As it lias pleased a kind LVovidenco
to SUttimon him lo courts of higher au
thority, it is a md, yet sweet privilege,
of turning for consolation to the memory
of his deeds; they aro written on the re
cords of our courts; they are stamped on
many a Held of martial glory, that will
form themes for pages of our country's
history, and engraven on tho hearts of
all who knew him, and it only remains
for ns to ,
Xetotoe That it is with unfeigned re
giet we heard of the death ofoures
teemed brother; and although ho fell
covered with the honors of the patriot
soldier, and a martyr to the noblest
cause that ever graced humanity, we can
not, in our Bullishness, but express the
wish that he might have been spared a
littlo longer to serve his country with his
valor, and bless his friends with his com
pany. , ., j
Jfeolwd, That iu . the conduct of our
deceased brother, wo ever mot an exem
plification ofjprofessioual ethics, and soci
al duties, tii at now contribute a double
pang at his death, but a bright example
in his memory. ,
, Resolvxl, Tuat we tender to tho family
and friends of the deceased our condo
lence and sympathy tor the Bad bereave
ment that has befallen them.
Resolved, That as a testimony of resnoot
for our deceased brother, wo attend the
funeral as a body, and wear tlio usual
badge of mourning for thirty days.
Rmolved, .Thai a copy of these proceed
ings be furnished the . family of the de
ceased. On motion of C. A. Black, Esq., the
proceedings of this meeting be published
in the county papers. '

the consideration of the death, and prep
aration to inter the body of our late es
teemed brother, Capt,. Win, C. Lindsey.
"When, on motion, it was resolved that
the Lodge pay the expenses of convey

Itemlwdf That Bros. J. A. J. Buchan
an, James S. Jennings and Wm. Bailv
be appointed a committee to prepare
resolutions appropriate to the ad occa
sion; rrom which committee the chair
man made the following report i '
' It has pleased the great Architect of
tne universe, tne nod who sits in judg
ment over an tne eartn, to drop the fatal
shaft on the vrf, and summon from the
field ot tho patriots labor, onr youthful.
gallant, kind, talented and beloved broth
er, Capt. Win. Lindsey. Ho fell at tho
head of his columns, leaving to his men
the inspiration ot an example that caus
ed them to stand nnd fight till Ilagers
town became entitled 'to the name of the
"dark nnd bloody ground" of the great
rebellion.
With tearful eyes nnd heavy hearts
to gfltittHS,
WAYN ESBURG
we bow in humble submission to the
great behest, feeling" a relief, though
mournful it be, iri tHC reflection1 thitt lie
weiit dawn the "dark and narrow way'
in the shade of tho "Flag" ot his heart's
loved homo! . Patriot Brother ; unselfish
friend t gifted ydilth, farewell ! Lifes
morning sun had but just lit up the
chambers of A majestio mind, 3 tltfblo
heart in you, and though they are now
extinguished, ne have the consolation to
know they went ont on that alter Capable
of refleclirig their virtue, whilst Ameri
can nationality has n name, or liberty a
hoirie among her people. Narrow, in
deed, will be the mantel required to cor
ver thy faults. Among humanity's fa
vored few, yorlr memory lives, unstained
and bright as the spotless robes of purity.
As we witness the tears of the young
and the old, the male and the female, thd
rich arid the pool', mingling at the mere
mention of thy fate, we Cannot but feel
the shaddws ot a passing joy in tlie
belief .that Providence cut ytnt down in
the centre of that friendship's circle
which extended co-evil with your 'ac
quaintance. Therefore, yielding to the
Almighty l"iat, we can only pay the poor
tribute of mortal love by resolving
1st. That it is with feelings of sadness
Wo (here assembled) ldok upon your va
cant seat, tiiiss tho sound ot your voice
in councils of wisddnl, and rctlect that on
earth we will Bee or hear you no more
forever. That we feel most keenly a
great loB4 in tho reflection that a kind
heart and clear head have passed from
the brotherhood of the living to the "si
lent city of the dead;" but tilh pleasure
we remember yod as due of those whose
faults are too dim to be st'e'il in the bril
liancy ot their virtues.
2d. That it is with feelings (it priJe
we remember the anxiety of our lamen
ted brother to return, from the quiet ot
home and the-lcve of friends, (to whoiri
he had camo on leave of absence to be
nurtured in sickness,) to share the glo
ries and dangers of tlie battle field with
that main' courage- beaming in his eye
that irave us an assurance he intended to
swim th roil 2I1 seas of blood, with his
country's flajr, orsink beneath it 8 shadow.
It seemed as thouch his restless spirit
lonercd for duty on the field, -and whilst
friends were imploring him to stay a lit
lie longer; with him the sentiment was
"0 hold my hands while yet you may, love
of in V earlier veare.
And wet my face, my mother, with thy promt
ami naii icnrs l ' "
And bless me again my father bless :
Wain. I Hr.iv !

the memory of our deceased brother, wo
attend his funeral fts a body, and wear
tho usual badge of mourning for thirty
di'ys: .. ... . .

Tho editor of the Soranton Republican
says : ,"We saw a curious embellish
ment tho other day, a five dollar bill on
tho Pottsville Bank, which contains on
otio corner a vignette of James Buchan

eyes with. red Silk, drawn a gallows above
his head, from which a rope was suspen
ded, that went round his neck, and then
branded his forehead with the word ' Ju
das." This is but one of hundreds.
The, bank has had to call in all its issues
with that portrait on it, so unmistakea

cuffs and curses ' about those' letters I
wrote you a little afore Uncle Abe's eleo

But when a fellow is actually tWrfull,
he must either explode or boil over ; so
I'm going to lift up the lid and lilt oilt'a

calamity, stfc.h aa-niy death would be,

laid down and died, and hi pnl'tlctilur
friends scattered pretty Widely alter his
funeral, and for sonle months I actually
went wandering about to nnd our party,
like Jacob Faithful in search' of his
father. ' ' - '' "
After awhile, I went np to Valldnituj
ham, who, as he" made the most noise,
had the biggest Crowd around him, and
asked where I Could find ''the party." .
"Major," says he, "I'll give yon a liile
to a few of the sachems. Our real head
quarters now af Philadelphia." So he
gave me a bunch of letters; and I made
For the Quaker City by the next train.
When I got odt at the Prime street
depot, I pulled out my letters, and I
tltiVef Was 'more struck in my ldng event
ful life. I read first, Lawyer Ileed, next
Lawyer Rmdull,- next Lawyet Wharton.
By thunder, says I, somebody has swap'
ped coats with me ; these names point to
the rankest ot Old Nfctft eoumellors they
wore every oue attorneys of the Chestnut
street monster, find I'd as soon call on a
cannibal as Oil either of 'em. But when 1
felt in the othe pocket and found my
knife and tobacco there, and found the
mended platte in the right cuff, so that
there was no nVistake as to the coat, 1
suspected that Vol. had played a mean
joke on me, and had given mo letters to
these friends of Kiddle Rd as to have me
snubbed. I fult like going right back
and or.imraiug' (he -envelopes down his
roaring thi oat. v4ut oir second thought
rtctci'ifiinecUt5o tip to Lancaster and seo,
Mr.' Buchanan; and ask him whether
such treatment was according to the
Constitution! '
Sure enough, there I found J. B, pal j
and cold as usual. He told me the let-
tors were all 'right. Says he "xhese
are our patrori Democrats now."
"Well," says I, "this beats .ill my for
mer trials its. worse than nigger recruit
ing.' I wouldn't feel safe in conference
or company with thein. I'd rather go
down and take my luck with the remains
ot the old Kitchen Cabinet, viz : Globe,
Blair and P. M. Amos."
"Ah Major," said he, "you are nt once
too ndhesive and too suspicious. The
world turns, and we must turn with it.
You stick tod fast to old friend's a"d
tako hold ot new ones too slowly. Yon
had better not lose this opportunity of
calling On ottf late Extraordinary Envoy
to China. ' See how his acquaintance
might, advance your social btatiw."
"Mr. Buchanan," says I, "you'll please
to speak English when you speak to mo.
I want none of Squire lteed's 'social sta
tus,' whatever that may be. I want a
few real Democrats." ,
"I .begin to understand your case,
Major," says he. "and I now think of a
couple of ourfolks with whom you will
be both safe and satisfied. I can com
mend you to Fernando Wood and Hora
tio Seymour of New York." ' '
"They sound rather better," says I.
"At least I don't think they Were among
the Biddlo Whigs thirty years ago." j
"No, indeed,", says ho ) "but, Major,
you shouldn't have such a dread of the
Biddlo name. ; Don't you know that Oul'
Colonel Biddlo is Nicholas Biddle's own
son!"- .,''.;; ..-iv. .....''
"What I that Congress man who cus
sed the nigger so, and said he could smell
!cm far off, and that Lincoln meant to
put them abOVe the whites, and all that !"
"That's the very man, Major," Said he.
. "For gracious sake, Mr. Buchanan,"
says I, "don't tell me any more. Give
me the letters, that I may start to New
York before the very points of the corn
eas cat ohanared." And so he wrote
me an introduction to F. Wood and II.
Seymour,' aud slipped the note into an
envelope of the color of skimmed milk,
audi made a bee line for tho oars in
short time, i- : ' : '
- I had - no trouble obont finding Mr.
Wood in Nfiw York, I toll you. :. Ever
body knows- him there. Every fellow
that is oroinz Into' a grog shop, or com
ing out of one, or lying down in one, is
his friend. ?fAs soon as he rend my namo
in the note he shook hands with me, and
asked how I was, ihow I had-been, and
how I would like to bo all in- one breath.
I thanked Dim heartily, and said that
when it suited, I would like to see the
othor trentleman, Mr. Seymour.
"That's our Governor,'' aid he, "and
ho is up at Albany. . You may stay here
a month with mer you shall have a free
ticket up fo tho Capital to-morrow.
Make yourself at home and at ease."
By thunder, thinks I, this is certainly
the very fellow I have been in scorch ot
ever since ! the General died i nnd so,
when I said I felt tired, ho crooked his
finger at ode of his five hundred attend-
ants that stood afdlind, and told him td
show mo to my room, and the gentleman
took hold of my' arm, called the chaise,
and landed ite dt the New Tork ' Hotel
in fifteen minutes The next day we
had. a pretty long talk about peace and
the war, aud then about' peace again.-r-We
exchanged several wrinkles, and be

little in taking off to shake hands With
me. I lie said he loved General Jackson

"Now." savs Wood, "my name is FeM
nando, his is Ilurrasho.and yours is Ma

. "Precisely so," says I, and when we

" "Major you're a trump," says both of
them. "Lut's introduce him to 'Glorious

"The very thing," says It.Mind then
ho telegraphed to McClellan. . Then we
look drinks all round, sipping and talking
leisurely, and, jUst as I was lifting my
glass for the last time, I heard a penny
whistle in the entry, and tllty said that
was a sure sign that Mao was close by.
"Well, really," says I, "I reckon he
Wasn't 'tother side of the Potomac when

"Ah, he moves differently, now," said
Fernandoi , "Here he is" and then the

and my three new friends seemed quite
pleased, and I joined in the fun.

aMdrcss the people, stating that a speeph
from him would quell the riot. Gener

: I tTust these lines may find you in the
full enjnymen of health. Twill now
give you a synopsis of our long, tedious
aud laboiious march. Doubtless, as
you have already learned, old Lee with
his starved and motley crew left : his
strong hold Opposite Fredericksburg, be
tween the 5th and 12th of June. The
yankees, being always wide awake when
the blackhiarts tire in motion, Were ap
prised of the same by the offensive smell
when they emerge from their dens, were
in quick - pursuit. Marching on double
quick the distance of f25" miles ve came
up with them at Gettysburg, Pa. . Tho
oontest soon begun and when the history
of this cruel war shall be beautifully
written and published to the world, it
will be seen to have been among the
most terrific,- fierce and destructive of
the war, and one, too, amongst the most
brilliant victories. Once the old tdry
succeeded in leading his starved crew
upon the soil of tho Old Keystone, and,
once their stomachs were filled, and once
too, the green earth tt the old State was
saturated with tory ,blood. TrilB, Hlany
noble defenders of their Country, fell up
on that bloodstained field. However,
the number was small, when compared
with that of the rebs, in that bloody
struggle. We slew, and gobbled up thir
ty five or forty thousand "grey-backs."

of battle two days without fli'mg a sin
gle canhort. Here, 111 my judgment, kee s
head was too ions tor General MeaJe s,
consequently, he stole a march upon him
and succeeded in recrossiug tho river.
I anl inclined to think, had we pounced
unon them at, the proper time, we could
hare bagged the old Fox and all his
cubs. We are now eu route, I can't tell
Where. However, in tho direction of

I will now sa,Y a few words in refer
enco to our old brigade. Known as
Kkmih.e's brigade, but subsequently
commanded by the brave nnd sallnnt
Caul, and nt this time eotnnl.lllded by
Colonel Jostii'lk Snyder, of West Va.
Much as editors and correspondents have
promulgated In referenco to the treble
deeds of other brigades, they seem to
have been as silent as the grave in refer
ence to the first named brigade. How
ever, for this brigade, wo ask no favors.
Nothing but that which is duo it, and
thtitweihink wo are entitled to. Wo
do not desiitt ti speak ej-itistioally. We
scorn to boast. :ViIl, therefore s'nle a
few fuels, such ns w: nro, prepared to
authenticate. In doiiior this wo will
simply can to mum tuo woony ua-.ueo,
namely j Fredericksburg, Chaneolloi s
villo, Antiotara and Gettysburg. ' In the
bloody struggle of Antietam, whore yas
this brigade, that there has soarco been
any i.untion of it found! Most assuredly
in the heart of tho battle.' Where nt
Fredericksburg! Unquestionably in the
same. . Where at Chaiicellorsvillo ! -As
