.The 4th of July in Wirllne+yro' .—Aceor
ding to previous notice business was su en•
ded in this place, on Friday. last. rranga.
meats bad been perfected for a e cbmtiou,
and the Union citizens generally assembled
on the Diamond a little after 11 9'dock, and
marched to the grove of Mr. Gm. BESORE,
near town, preceded by the Fayetteville
Band, Messrs. JOSIATI BESORE,4IOIO ADAM s
and W. H. BROTTIERrON acting as marshals,
where a stand had been erecteirAMd seats
' prepared for the ladies..._4fter an appropri
ate prayer by the Be*. Mr. SAVIDOE, of the
M. E. Church, the Declaration' of rndepcn-
deuce was read by A. 31. TRINI,IEIi i Esq.,
which was followed by a stirring and patriot
ic address from Prof. W. T. BARN/TS. The
address •of Mr. B. was eloquent and appro
priate for the times, and elicited raptures of
applause. At the conclusion of his remarks
an adjournment for a couple of hours was
agreed upon, some returning to town, brit
the majority remaining to take their dinners
in the grove, an abundance of provision hav
ing-been-provided for the occasion.
Dinner over, M. S. NEwcommt, Esq., of
this vicinity, entertained the audience for
over half an hour in an address equally ap
propriate to the times and the day celebrated.
Ills remarks although entirely extempore,
breathed the true spirit of patriotism, Wild were
rapturously applauded. If there were any
Rebel sympathisers present they must have
felt keenly the force of his remarks. Mr.
tress cone u es , t e ' er. Mr. SA)
vinoE was called for and responded in a
short but excellent address, after which the
parties formed in proccession and returned
to town, and thus ended the celebration, the
proceedings all passing off pleasantly, end
IMMM
without any interruption.
We must add in conclusion that the
_Fay-
Band Cottteted very largely to
the interest of the occasion. The part per
formed by them was highly creditable.
Much larger towns than Fayetteville might
be justly proud of such a band of musicians.
The Exhiliiiiinz.—The second Exhibition
— bf the Waynesboro' Classical and Commer
cial Institute, was given in the Town Hall,
en Friday and Saturday evenings last. There
wets. a very general turnout of the citizens;
"the Hall on both occasions being filled. The
atidienee was delighted with the exercises,
the pupils Requiting themselves in a manner
creditable to the Principals of the
Institute, Messrs. BARNITS and TRIMMER.
The young ladies participating in the exer
eises bore themselves very becomingly, and
"presented a very handsome appearance on
the capacious stage elevating them to full
view.
On Friday evening the Rev. Mr. SAVIDGE
presided and conducted the exercises, after
an appropriate prayer, in his usual dignified,,
manner. The English Salutatory wasAde
livered • by John Russell, and a Latin 'Salu
tatory was read by Miss M. R. Coon. The
Declaration of Independence was handsome-
ly read by Miss Ginnie Stcoehouse, which
was followed, by "Fee Oration," by Mr.
Flory,. of Ringgold. Messrs.' M. and S.
13euebrakt, A. Rescue, li. Stonehonse, J. H.
Peters, C. F. Speck, delivered speeches of a
patriotic and popular character, and in a man
ner to elicit the apple . ':e of the audience.—
Appropriate and beautiful poems were reci:
ted with fine effect by the Misses Forney,
Deatrich, Walker, Kurtz, Coon, - Pilkington;
Miss Kate Harbaugh read a happily compo
sed essay. The Fayetteville band were en
gaged for the4occasion. which, with the ex
cellent vocal music of the scholars under the
charge of Dr. T: L. Budd, a Prince in the
.f -
realins of ,Music, - rendered the Exhibition
delightfully agreeable. The exercises closed

Recruiting.—Gto: W.,lrAtii.tit, of this
place, returned froT / Ilarrisburg .yestorday
with orders to recruit volunteers for the war.
Mr. W. was one'of the the first ,i n in the
county to. volunteer in defence of the Capiz
tai 'lit the ontbreaka the Rebellion, and we
trust that the good Union citizen. : our
town and country will co-operate with hun
in recruiting' a cotnpany. A Lowey Of $25
with one months wages in advance, will be
paid to each recruit as soon as sworn into
i t
sere Men Men recruited now will. not.be re
quire
o rendezvous at Harrisburg . for a
few weeks. ,
harvest.—The farmers in this section are
now engaged in harvesting the wheat crop.
We understand the grain is in bad condition
for reaping, about one third of it having
been knocked down by the heavy rains which
we had several weeks since, but notwithstan
ding this is the case, it is said to be well fil
led. The yield of wheat in Washington and
Quincy townships, the present season, wil
we think we can safely assert, exceed it
quantity that of any season for many years. ,
This we believe is true of the county gen
erally.
The War Tdx.—Pennsylvania has-proMpt
ly paid in full to the U. S. Government the
proportion of her: war tax, and in doing so,
has saved nearly $300,000 to the State.—
This fact shows conclusively 'the internal
prosperity of the Commonwealth, and the
immense resources which she has at her
command. With over a 115,000 men in
the field, says the Telegraph, with some of
our most active and enterprising men direct-
ly engaged in the war, with the genius and
talent of our people, as it were, leading in
the same direction, our credit remains unim
paired, and our financial ability is the same
as when peace blessed every man with hope
and gave to industry an energy that seemed
almost invincible.
We ate pleased to find a coppy of The 'Vil
lage Record upon our table, published by
W. Blair at Waynesboro,' this County. We
rather like the free and independentyine of
this Paper in regard to our National troubles,
LW it is an open and uncompromising enemy
of Secessionism, in every form that hydra
headed monster hos seen proper to assume.
Long may it wave after toryism is buried in
he-oblivion-of—
rir The above complimentary notice we
copy from the Concord Pioneer, a spicy lit
tle Shf.wt, published monthly at Concord, in
this county, by DAVID GOSORIT, at 25 cents
per annum. Of course the Secesh sympa
thising negro-shriekers,hereabouts, after read
ing the above, will vote the Pioneer a Black
Republican or Abolition sheet.
For Sick and Wouaded - Sediers.—We
have been requested to state that some of
the ladies in this place, are now engaged in
getting up a box of provision for the sick
and-wounied soldiers at Frederick, Md. A
lady in attendance there writes to a friend
here that they are much in want of this kind
of hospital supplies. Articles will be thank
fully received at the residence of Mr. Henry
Smith up to Tuesday evening next.
Down at Last—The old log dwelling
house on Main street, opposite the Conti
nental Hotel, purchased from Mrs. ANN MA
RIA BLAIR by Dr. 13ROTRERTON, was re
moved on Wednesday last by Mr. ANDREW
WILSON. It was one of the oldest buildings
in the town, erected there perhaps 75 or 80
years ago. We understand the Doctor de
signs putting up on the same ground a hand
some dwelling.
1l Gov. Ilraaford, of Maryland, has issu
ed a proclamatiOn urging the prompt res,
pease of that State to the call of the Presi
dent for additional troops. The following
is an extract:—
Men of Maryland, I look to you with con
fidence to be among the foremost in respond
ing to this call. There.are reasons why you
should be. You are, as it were, the natural
body guard of the Capital of the nation. If
this diabolical, rebellion ever makes another
forward movement, its first step will be upon
your soil. In your very midst thereltirks a

ity may be remote, it behooves you to be
ready for all coutingencieS, 'imd prepared by
an ample and organ ized force for the open
Rebel and the secret traitor.

bu or him who said, "I will make a flank

the secession serpent with the coils of an
immense boa constrictor of Federal troops;
but Clellan saw the fallacy of this by the
ai.oiv e teachings of Napoleon, who said,
Fever attempt to surround an enemy, or

most promising plans will bring forth disas

success. In a few hours three, of our ablest
commanders will be thundering at three gates
of Richmond. The bugle has sounded for
the advance of the army Cif the Potomac,
and the rebel capital is a doomed city.

MEN \VITO ARE ASKED TO YOll,
UNTKER at this juncture of the struggle for
the Union, says the Telegraph, are summon
ed at a period wien the opportunity for dis
tinction is most propitious, and when they
can discharge a great patriotic duty without
being asked to endurell —- "iiy of the hardships
of the camp or the perils of the field. We
do not mean to be' understood as declaring
that no more battles are.to be fought. Such
sser-tionsweuld~be - . - -
as an inducement, would be urging men to
volunteer under the terms of false pretence.
What we mean is, that the war will nod
dare not last more than six months. If
do not establish our power and reassert and
put_in_foree - the-national authority in the
rebel states in six months, this conflict with
traitors will be ended by the interposition — of
the governments of the world. We must
end the war in six months, or it will be end
ed for us by the civilized nations of the world
Such a conflict will not be permitted to be
prolonged, and "however we may now boast
of our strength, and however we would be
able, if united, to fight the -world, the loyal
men of this nation cannot contend with reb
el traitors. pay attention to secret sympathis
em with treason, and at the same time repel
foreign invasion and interference. Hence
those now asked to volunteer, will not be re
quired many months in the field or the, gar
rison. They will end the war, crush the re
bellion, restore peace and re-establish the au
thority of the government in the time sate
and thus win Tor theniselves imperishable
honors, The men volunteering understand
these facts, and hence there are thousands
of brave spirits all over the state .of Pearl=
Sylvaniawho • will respond to the present
summons, for the very purpose of sharing in
the brilliant conclusion of this bloody con
spiracy.
OWThe Washington Star of Monday says:
A distinguished general officer of the army
of the potornae was in Washington this
morning on his way to!visit his family north
of this city. His opportunities for learn
ing the extent of the damage received by
the 'enemy in the recent seven days' battles
were, from the nature of his position in the
service, perhaps better then of any other
Union officer. He estimates their loss in
killed and wounded, and otherwise rendered
hors de combat, at the immense' number of
75,000 men, or, in other words, that their

says: "Whether this thousand dollars came

Some hours after, accompanied by an Aid,
he rode' into a piece of woods for the pur

of rebels suddenly, advanced and ordered him
to halt. At the same instant one of the van

The aTenteilit Living 'coundrel
We had thought that the depths of vil

innumerable wicked ones who have been ex

earth. But it seems that a profounder abyss
bad yet to be reached than any known before,
and that it was reserved for BENJAMIN P.
BUTLER, of Massachusetts (a decendant we
presume. of that free-booting concern called
the "Pilgrims of the Mirylloirer,") to reach
it. He is, beyond all question, a t this time,
the most infamous of living men, and the
grave never closed over his superior in all
the attributes of a scoundrel. Not only
does the South ring with the attrocities of
this monster, but the whole civlized world
is rapidly discovering- and, proclaiming his

More Good News from McClellan.
FORTRESS MONROE, July-b.—Fresh troops
arrived here from 'Washington yesterday,
and went up the James riv. r in the evening.
Four small steamers, with four barges in
tow, arrived at Fortress Monroe this morning,
laden with artillerymen, horses, &c., and
were doubtless bound up the river.
A skirmish took place yesterday morning,
near our left win.., which resulted in the
defeat of the rebels. We took 1,000 rebel
prisoners, and three small batteries, and our
cavalry followed them up till they passed be
yond White Oak.
For, the last two days the rebels have
shown little disposition to fight, and yester
day relinquished their ground and batteries
almost without resistance.
