ENGLISH 'WHITE SLAVES.
James Hunt, of Bristol, England,
in au essay, snys : At tlio close of the
great American civil war, 25 years
ago, I was a volunteer helper among
30,000 freed slaves, on tho Yorktown
peninsula, In the slave breeding stale
of Virginia; and from Intimate per
sonal acquaintance with large num
bers of those people, I unhesitatingly
assert my conviction that England
with all her boasted freedom and
Christianity, has a worse though
more refined and money making sys
tem of white slavery ,that even negro
slavery was, and that Its results are as
fatal and demoralizing. Every black
negro slave was worth from $50 to $200
to his owner, and self-interest made
the owner take decent care of .Mich
valuablo property, just as some men
n this country care more for valuable
cattle, dogs and horses, than they do
for their own lltsh and blood. In
civilized England white slaves have no
commercial value, and the sweating
capitalist, or the grasping middleman,
can grlud his victims to death, between
the nether millstones of free competi
tion; drlvo them to prostitution on tho
streets, or bury them in pauper's
graves; and none but the poor is any
loser,' because as fast as the victims
fall, there, are plenty more to fill their
places. Ail this goes on under the
Free Trade commercial dogmn, of
"buying in the cheapest market," and
churchmen and dissenters are alike
guilty of their brother's and sister's
blood.
If the Chilians think that Uncle
Sam has been IndifTercut to their
belligerent manifestations they will
find themselves wofully mistaken If
thay carry their foolhardinsss to tho
gentleman has kept his eyes wide opon

Neveii were our physicians so busy
as this year. If they have coined
money they deserved it. They were
called out at all houre of the day and
night and what rest they had was
very little. Few people know how
many physicians have lost their lives
by overwork in attending their
patients and we bcaicely pick up a
newspaper that does not contain the
aocount of the death of one on that
account. Taking them all in all
they are a noble and self-sacrlficlug
set.

About a dozen vets sat in a cosy, privato
room in ono of tho well known hoitolries
oa Christmas Evo, tolling storlos of old
times, incidents of tho war predominating
Tho following are somo ot them. They
will not only interest many of our town
pooplo, but will bo road with pleasure by
many "outsiders."
V
Near Williamsport, Md , was a largo
barn which many of tho boys visited fre
quently in search of somithing to eat, but
thoy always returaed empty-handed. It
romainod for "Dan" Uartlino, now
rosidont ot Mt. Carmol, or thereabouts, to
strike it rich. IIo forked ovor the hay and
pulled out sevoral baskots of eggs, butter,
etc. Upon returning to his company ho
told thom of tho "mino" and thoy did not
roquiro a repetition of tho instructions, as
tho ono who hid tho things learned to his
sorrow.
Young Wright, who was a drummer
boy of Capt. Boyle's company, was croditod
with many daring exploits. When tho
march was mado from Washington, after
tho second battlo of Hull Run, through
Maryland, and before thoy reached South
Mountain, or Crnmpton's Pass, almost
evory member was mounted either on a
horfo, mulo, or cow, tho fruits ol Wright's
foraging.
Wright passed through tho war without
a mishap and was killod on tho railroad
near Poltsvillo somo years later.
Tho soldlors who woro fortunate onough
to share In tho C0-day stay on tho Eastern
Shoro of Maryland livid on milk and
honey. Thoy riotod on oysters, poachos,
sweet potatoes, chickens, turkoys, goeso.
etc, Tno colored pooplo woro dolighted
with tho troops and nover tired of making
things pleasant for thorn. Tho whites,
with few cxcop&ms, woro secessionists, und
very bitter ones, aoino of the soldiers
wore told that a largo rebol flag was hidden
in tho houso of ono of tho secessionists and
that night a party of thn "boys" spotted
the houEo. Tho placo was soarchod and the
hunt was about to bo abandoned when it
was suggostod that tho bed of ono of the
young Iadios bo searched. This was dono
and tho flag was dragged to light from
boneath a shoet. Tho young woraon woro
doflant and bravo, but abandonod an in
tention to' show fight.
'There wero but thirty-two men, includ
ing ono Lioutonant and a Sergoant, on
duty on tho Eastern Shoro, and thoy had
what would bo termed now "a picnic."
Tho writer took tho placo of Thoodoro
Stvartz, deceased. If poor Theodoro had
knowu what good times woro to accom
pany tho stay thoro he would, perhaps,
have lived it out. One night whilo
tho boys were in a hotel kept
by an old Unionist a rabid secos
sionist farmer entered and flourished
a largo wad of greenbacks. Ho jabbed tho
wad under the noso of some of tho Union
boys, ono of who took a position at tho
gas jet, while others romainod near tho
farmer. In an instant the room was in
darkness. A grab was mado for the wad,
but somo how tho "tecesh" managod to get
away.

Old Capt. Dufor, John Sterling and
Qoorge DeGouroy wore all well known in
the 00th regiment. Thoy are now with
"the groat majority,"
Capt. Honry Ilondlor no doubt romom
bors tho riot in Beta's tavern during tho
fall election of 1861, It was an ugly affair
and caused much excitement. It was
lucky for tho Captain ho was hidden safoly.
When the crowd, full of bad blood, on-
terod tho tavern Ilendler and a number of
friends were behind tho bar. Some one
had a email American flag, which was
held up in front or tho party behind lh
bar and promptly kn eked down, by whom
no ono could toll, but Hendlor was chargod
with tho act A rush was mado for bim
lights wero extinguished, bottles an
glasses cut all sorts of shapes in tho air
mirrors fell to pieces and tho bagatelle
tablo became a wreck of Its forraorself
Tho services of a dolacbmcnt of soldier
woro required to quell tho disturbance.
