The War.
From tbe latent accounts, it seems that the
rebels along the upper Putomac have re.
treated south of that river and are now tak.
ing their plunder to their depots at Stanton
and GordoDsville. Hunter has been rerauv,
ed from the command of our forces in that
department, and Sheridan a more active
and it ia to be hoped a more civilized general
placed there. There is a report that Gen.
Averill overtook and attacked the rebels at
Moorfield, captured 500 of them with all
their artillery. Sharp engagements occurred
Friday, in front of Petersburg. No particu
lars are given. All is now quiet, there. -
A uaval attack on Mobile by Admiral
Farragat was going on in which he had met
with some success.
Gen Sherman's situation at Atlanta is said
to be critical. It is thought that Ilood is
being so largely reinforced as to be able to
rout and defeat him.

"Honest Old Abe."
•' Honest old Abe" is the soubriquet ap
plied by .his parasites and a man.
who modestly signs '* A. Lincoln," to his
tyranical and arbitrary edicts and proclama
tions; "This honest old Abef has prose
cuted a war for nearly four years, at aD ex
pense of hundreds of thousands of iives and
hundreds of millions of money. Me has
draped the land in mourning ; he has titled
it with the moans of widows and the wails
and tears of orphans. Ho kindly recom
mends for their empty stomachs and half
clad bodies, day? of / idling humiliation and
;prayer . This modest, honest, prayerful
"old Abe" this smutty joker, lover of nigger
aohgs and tyrant; now tells his subjects
that the war, they have foolishly supposed,
was for the restoration of the Union, is one,
for the abadonment of slavery I!!
Speaking of the draft. Billy Bur.
geas says ;—" A mark upon him who evades
the issue without just exemption, or dishon
orably shirks his duty to his country."
In view of the way in which Billy sneaked
ont of the draft in 1862 and of his ardent
Attachment to 'Americans of Affrican descent,*
we think it would Dot require a microscopic
I istrument of veiy great powers to discover
a black streak running up and down that
aDimals back.
•- ■
rar Governor Curtin's last frsntic appeal
to the people of the state for 30,000 men.
doea not meet with a very hearty response.
We have not heard of any one one's going
from this region and believe that none seri
ously think of doing so. At a large and
enthusiastic war meeting held at the Court
House in this place, on Monday evening,
eleven volunteers were obtained, with the
private understanding, we believe, that they
were not to ieave the town, except in case of
its invasion, Even our o'er patriotic, vegct
able nosed townsman, Billy, who says : "If
called upon" he expect s "to respond," still
" ia~nains at bia post here, with other
weapons, to fight the Copperheads at heme."
Tbe Democrats predicted that the triumph
of a sectional party would produce a disso
lution of the Union. That was denounced
as " loco foco stuff!" The result is before
the country.
We now predict that the re-election of
Lincoln, should it ocour, will render perma
nent the separation of the North and the
South, and cover us with di6grsce and ruin.
This will be termed " Copperhead nonsense !"
Well—try ill

ing:—"We are reliably informed that Hon.
Thos. Corwin, since his return home, has
indulged in bitter denunciations of tho Lin
coln administration. We are not 6urpiised j
at it, but some of his loyal neighbors are '■
terribly shocked." Mr. Corwin is not the
only man who supported the Administration
three years ago, who has since become thor
oughly disgusted with its wickedness and
corruption.
THE STATE QUOTA. —According to a letter
from Colonel Fry to Governor Curtin, the
quota of Pennsylaoia, under the late call of
500,000, is 01,700 men. Add the one hun
dred per cent, and the total number to he
drawn, in cas eof a draft, is 123,400. It has
been estimated by " loyal" organs, that aft
er the extra per centage, nnd the supylying
of dues under previous aud supplementary
drafts, there will not be men enough remain
ing on the rolls of the State to supply the
number of men assigned as the quota of

Lincoln vs. Fsace,
| It Ka* now passed Into history thst Mr.
| Clay, a Senator, and Mr. Ilolcombe, a.
Representative in the Confederate Congress
came on the part of the South to the Canada
side of the Niagara Rivei, and there opened
a correspondence with Mr. Horace Gieeley
and Mr. Hay, tbe private ser-retaiy of Mr.
Lincoln, in order, as they declared, to the
| restoration of peace ; that they ma le known
j to Mr. Greeley and Mr. Hay their desire to
, proceed on their errand under a safe conduct
to Washington ; that Mr- Greeley and Mr.
Ha}- were for some days, with the knowledge
' and consent of Mr, Lincoln, in intercourse
! personally and through coriespondeuce with
' these gentlemen on the subject of peace prop
I ositions ; that they declared to Mr. Greeley
by letter dated the 18th July thit they
were "in the confidential employment" of
their Government, and were "entirely fa
miliar with its wishes and opinions" on the
i subject of" propositions looking t> tbe es
tablishment of peaceand that they, or
other persons, when the circumstances of the
correspondence with Mr, Greeley were dis
closed at Richmond, would be at once in-
I vested with authority and accredited as mes
i sengers of peace; that Mr. Greeley forward
ed their offers and request of safe conduct
J to Washington ; that upon receiving them,
I the President telegraphed an answer, by
which lie deck; -es the " abandonment of sla
very" t-o be a condition precedent—the si'.e
qua non —to any negotiation whatever ; in
other words, that his terms are the abau
donment of the Federal Constitution, and
substituting for the great work of our fa
thers his own proclamation o the Ist of
January, 1863. Thus, if Mr. Lincoln's will
is to prevail, *we have announced to us, as
the Republican programme, perpetual war
among the white races of the country until
the inferable negro shall be made our equal
in rights and citizenship, to sit at our board,
to marry our daughters, to vote with us , to
rule over us. These are the terms on which
Peace and Union can be restored under a
Republican administtation. Here is the ab
olition ultimatum
All |this authentically appears in the writ
ten and signed letter of tbe 12th July, 17th
July four letter? of the 18th July, two let
ters of ihe 19th July, one of 'he 20th July,
and one of the 21st July, ts published in
the newspapers . Buttbe flagitious attempt to
substitute the will of one foolish man for the
Law and Constiltution does not stop here.
The terms of the South to be proposed as a
basis for negotiation are furnished us, not, is
is true, under the hand of the commission
ers—for no negotiator can be expected to
pot his name to the terms he has to offer ;
until the negotiation lias been opened, unti
it has been begun—but there has been plac
ed before the people of the North, unauthenl
ticated, most obviously by the Commission
ers themselves, and not yet denied by the
presses through which we are used to hear
from the Adm'uistration—on the contrary,
admitted by them to be accurately stated—
the terms proposed by the South for recon
struction and reuuiou. We give them in the
words in which we find them, accompanying
the letters of the parties to the correspon
dence. They run thus:
" First. All negroes which have been *c
tually freed by the war, to be secured in
such freedom.
"Second . All Negroes at present held as
slaves to remain so.
Thi, d. The war debt of both parties to be
paid by the United States.
" fourth. The old doctrine of State rights
to be recognized iu reconstructing the Un
ion."
Whatever may be thought cf the proposal
to place the Confederate deb on our Treasu*
ry books, here was a tender of negotiation'
which any man who loves his country ought
to enter up TI with a heart full of thankful
ness to God, but which is scornfully and
rudely rejected by the President, as if it was
an offence to his own dignity and an injury
to us all. Here was an offer to come to
terms, to make peace and restore the Union.
The President refused to listen to them.
He abandoned the position heretofore an
nounced and maintained by him—be added,
of his own motion, and without consultation
with Congress, unconstitutional conditions,
and thereby prevented negotiation,! refused
to reconstruct the Union, discarded peace;
and " to all whom it may concern," announc
ed that this warshr.il continue, and that un
til there is an " abn .donment. of slavery" on
the part of the Sot th. It is now a war to
free the niggers ; and we may well ask, in
tne words of a good republican, upon anoth
er occasion : u Is this the Buzzards feast to
which we were invited V—Ex.

WONDERFCD LIBERALITY of MR. LINCOLN.
—The other da* a delegation of Kentucky
members of Congress waited upon Lincoln
to remonstrate against the arbitrary military
arrest of Col. Wolford in that State. In the
course of the in tcrview tho President laid
much stress upon his liborality, Why, says
he, I have permitted (!! !) members of Con

to criticitse my (!! !) policy, but even to per

of an exchange, I send this by him. lam

particulars concerning my capture, and of
events since, as paper is scarce and excite

Horrible Cruelty To Negrosi
It is only those who thoroughly under
stand the negro character, physical and meu
tah.who really know what is cruelty to t ne
gro. The following shows how Massachu
setts officers treat negroes in Louisiana.—
The Express copies from a city paper an ac
count of the treatment of a negro by Lieut.
Oilman, of the Fifth Massachusetts Cavalry.
It appears that he had the poor fellow tied to
a pole by his two thumbs, his legs vainly en
deavoring to touch the ground. The scene
LA described as follows, by an eye witness :
,l The new sea grass twine cleaved to his
thumbs pressing them like a vice, cutting
with razor sharpness. The pain becoming
excruciating, he struggled vainly to release
himself; IDS mouth became opened ; his eye
balls were almost forced from their sockets
by the great agony he suffered. He felt as
if he could live but a few moments longer.—
A horrible pain it was, for his own leaden
weight seemed to be against his having any
relief. He could no longer support himself
and falling unconscious to the ground, he left
his Jlesh cleaving to the new sca <frass
twine!"
The cause of this infliction of the above
cruelty was, that the negro hid himself, and
could not be fonnd when wanted to go on
duty. Now this is, perhaps, the most com
mon vice, or rather weakness, of negroes.—
A little harmless whipping—a few sratrt
lashe6—would have cured the negro of the
habit, and not harmed him in the least. The
crazy fanatics of New England would raise a
howl of horror over this harmless punish
ment ola lazy negro, and yet commit upon
him attrocities which it fairly makes the
blood run cold to read.
Humiliation and Prayer*
The Mayor of the City of New York issued
the subjoined official no tice calling attention
to the proclamation of the President, getting
apart Thursday last as a day of fasting
humiliation and prayer. Ilis suggestion to ;
cestain clergymen is well timed and worthy j
of attention and observance on the part of i
th >te who profess to be servants and fellow- j
era ot the meek ind lowly Nazarene :
MAYOR'S OFFICE, NEW YORX, August 2.
1864. In view ot the proclamation ot the
President of the United States, setting apart
Thursday, the 4th inst., as a day of lasting
humiliating and prayer, I consider it te bo
my duty to call the attention of this com
munity to the observance of the same.
To the ministers at the various churches
on whom will devolve the doty of opening
prayer in the presence of their congregations
and especially those ministers who have in
culcated the doctrines of war and blood, so
much at variance with the teachings of their
Divine Master, I would humbly recommend
that they will,on that solemn ocoasion.invoke

Horrors of the War,
We have before us a history, sad and
heart-rending, which wo are sure will servo
to convince any humane spit it that the asso
ciation caused by thG war should not be per
mitted by an enlightened and Christian peo
ple lunger to go on with all its deatYuctlve
ness and injustice, The facts before us are
these, as recited in t!e statement accompa
nying the letter which follows It:
The anucxed letter wa9 written by the
! youngest daughter of the Hon. Alexander R.
j Boteler of Jefferson County, Virginia, de
; tailing to her sister the burning of their
home by order of General Hunter, and a'so
\ the residence of Edmund J. Lee, whose place
i adjoins Mr. Betelers. Fountain Rock, allud.
1 to below, belonged to Mrs. Boteler, who,
I with her daughters and grandchildren, has
• been thus ruthlessly deprived of their only
borne. Mr. A. R. Botaler will be remember,
ed ss a member of tho Federal House of
Repreientrtives in 1800-61, and was actively
engaged with Mr. Crittenden and others in
resisting secession ; but, after the call for
seventy.flve thousand men by the President
of the United States, acied with his State.
Captain Martindale was informed by one
of Mr. Bottler's davghters that the property
was not her father's but that of her mother
j —having been conveyed to her many years
j since. She afterwards sent word to General
> Hunter, that he had not succeeded in de.
j stroying one dollar's worth. All be de.
stroytd belonged to Mrs. Boteler, who was
absent from home at the time. No one was
there exceptj Mr. Bottler's iwo daughters
and three little grand children. This ia the
letter of Miss Boteler :
SHErHARDSTOWN, JCFFEKSON Co., VA._ JTI
lj 20, 1864—Wednesday night—Mr DEAR
EST SISTERS : I suppose you will have heard
before this reaches you that our dear, beauti
ful home is in ashes. Yesterday just
after dinner, Lizxie, her three little chil
dren and I being at home, fifteen Federal
soldiers of the first First New York Cavalry
under Captain Martiodale, came with orders
from Gen Hunter to burn everything under
roof on the places of A R. Boteler and Ed
mund J. Lee. They came to us first and in
twenty minutes after their arrival it would
have been dangeruus to enter the house. Of
the furniture, we 6aved two little -ocking
chairs and three other chairs from the porch.
This is literally all. The barn in which was
stored all the hay just cut—the servants'
house and library, with the books, cabinet
of minerals, valuable historical papers and
, documents—all are gone. The meat house
. and dairy are still standing,as the wind blew
from them, wriling this is harder work than
1 thought it would be after all 1 nave gone
through with.
They piled up the furniture, and with
camphene, etc., built the fire that has burned
deep into our hearts. Netta and I are at
aunt Nannie's to night; Lizzie ami the chil
dren at the Grove, Mis. Lee has joined her
husband, and Fountain Rock and Bedford
are b>th desolated ! My heart aches to have
such terrible tidings of the dearest spot in all
the world to you. 1 fear I loved it to much,
but my greatest grief is for our darling par
| ents. We are young and can bear such
changes better, but their life ties were form
ed and rivited there. I'll write more in the
! morning, when fitter for it. How many will
be sorry to hear this I I read Hunter's or
der myself—bad it in iny hands and tried to
keep it to send papa, but it was takea out of
my hands-

How Kentucky it Governed— Coming Events
Cast their Shadows ILfore.
We learn that Gen Burbridge, of Kentucky
has issued an order to the Judges of Elec
tion in that State, not to allow tho name of
Judge Duval—who is a candidate for re-elec.
lion to the Bench of the Court of Appeal—to
appear on the Poll Books of their precincts.
We suppose Gen Burbridge did not take the
reponsibility of that act, of IDS own volition
for it is In the face of Lincoln's proclamation
declaring Kentucky to be under martial law.
He must have got his authority direct from
Washington. The order of Gn. Burgridge
sets aside the laws of Kentucky, spits in tho
face of Gov. Bramlettc and commits ahi fe h
handed outrage ou the rights of the voters of
Keutucky,
Coming events cast thair shadows before
and this act of the military Governor of Ken
tucky falls like a dark shadow on Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois, and gives them warning
of the future, Lincoln journals are already
Calling on tne President to declare martial
Uw over the States we have named; and we
have no doubt the call will be complied with
in case Lincoln believes that, at the ap
proaching elections, the people will, if per.
rhitted to vote, rebuke his policy and his
administration. In Kentucky, Judge Duval
would have been permitted to be a candidate
by Gen. Burbridge but for an apprehension,
Well founded that he wouid be elected. His
election must not be allowed, and hence the
! order to the Judges of Election to erase his
j name from the Poll Books.
We understand in audition to this despot-

VANDALISM OP HUNTER.
Why Chambersburg was Hunted.
Hunting el Gov. Letcher's House.
The following is the account Gov* Letcher
himself gives of the circumstances attending
the burning of his 1. use by Get . Hunter,
lie says:—
The threats made by soldiers on Saturday
evening, induced my wife to tear the bouse
would be burned, and she expressed her
fears in the hearing of Dr. Paton and Capt.
Towns, of New York. Capt. Towns very
promptly said, that I, being a private citizen,
and the house being private property, burn
ing it, would be an inexcusable outrage, and
proposed at once to go to Hunter's Head
quarters and ascertain. He went, and was
directed by Hunter to assure my wife that
tTe house would not be disturbed. The se
quel shows that the sole object of this assur j
ance was to quiet her a[ prehensions, and
thus prevent anything from being removed.
About half past 8 o'clock A. M. (Saturday
Captain Berry and his Provost guard rode j
up aud the officer called for my wife. She
came to the door, when Barry informed her
that he was ordered by Hunter to fire the
house. She replied there must be some mis
take. and asked f>r the order, He said it
was a verbal order. She then said to him,
" Can it nut be delayed uutil 1 see Gen. Hun
tea 1" " The order is peremptory," he re
plied, " and you have five minutes to leave
the house." She then asked.leave to remove
ler mother's sister : s her own and her chil
dren's clothing, which was insolently refused
Immediately thereafter camphene was
poured on the parbr floor and ignited with
a match. In the meantime, my daughter
had gathered up an armful of clothing, and
was going out when he discoverei her, ran
f.rward and fired the clothing in her arms.
He then poured camphene in the wardrobes,
ber au drawers, and ignited the clothing— j
taEi <g oat My clothing, which he s&'d he ,
iritendel to lake North :
Every house on my lot wa3 burned save a
granary oVer my ice house. Not a particle
of flour, meal, or anything edible was lef*,
all having been carried off on Saturday.
My mother, now in her 68th year, lives on
the lot adjoining my own, having with ber
one of her grandchildren and servant. After
my property had been fired, the fiends fired
her stable, located about forty feet from the
house, with no other view than to burn her
out also. The house caught twice, and
would have been consumed but for the un
tiring efforts of Capt Towns, who made his
men carry water and extinguish the fiArnes.
The Captain behaved bke a gentleman to
wards my own and my mother's family.
Gens. Aveiill, Crock, Sullivan, and Duffee
denounced the whole proceeding Is an out- !
rage, in violation ci ali the principles of civil- j
ized warfare, and stated that Hunter alone
was responcible for these atrocities.

Vice Presldeut Stephens' Mission.
The Administration press has steadily per
sisted in denying that the mission with
which Alexander 11. Stephens sought to come
to Washington had any reference whatever
to peace. The Springfield Republican pub
lishes a letter from C, D. Jacobs of that city,
formerly a telegraph operator in Richmond,
which throws some light on the subject ;
While a telegraph operator in Richmond,
Va., working the principal through line South
I sent a message from Jefferson Davis to
.Stephens of Augusta , Ga, requiring his im- (
mediate presence at Richmond, to attend a
Cabinet meeting and desiring him to proceed
upon a mission to Washington, if his health
would admit, with a peace motive. Stephens
was to bear propositions looking to the re
cognition of the independence of the Confed
eracy, but to projiose other measures which ;
might iend to consummate that object, con- '
fidentially named upou his arrival in Rich
mond.

In 18GI the abolitknlsts told us that there
should be no party as long as the war lasts.
Now they are the only party that have candi
dates iu the field for the Presidency, and
have themselves divtded into two parties, one
for Fremont, the other for Lincoln. Thera
should be no party now, all should go in for
1 a " change."
