Plent 8.- 7 -In the midst of the gloom of our
national troubles,' a . kind, Pro . vitlence has
vouchsafed to us an abnuclanca of ; all the
necessaries oC life. From all the loyal,States
comes news of the most abundant crops.—
The wheat crop has been safely harvested,
and was never better, take th e country
through. Corn is promising finely; and of
fruits there never was a better prospect.—
Prices are reasonable—not too low for the
producer, nor too high for the consumer.—
What a great reason we have for thankful
ness in all this. While those who brought
this war upon the country for the purpose of
overthrowing and destroying the government
are compelled to pay most exorbitant prices
for the actual necessaries of life, and in ma
ny cases are suffering from want of feed,
while their country is desolated and the bu
siness of their towns and cities de ( stroyed, we
who are laboring and fighting for the mainte
nance of our government, are blessed with
the greatest abundance of everything, our
fields are richly laden with bounteous crops,
and the busifiess of our towns and cities
scarcely feels, as yet, any inconvenience from
the war. Is there not something more than
accident in all this? Is not the same benefi
cent hand that strengthened and guided th e
patriot fathers in the establishment of this
.government now bestowing its blessings on
those who are striving to maintain it?

The Eight Sort of raik..—A few days a 7
go Gov. Yates, of Illinois, received a letter
from a town in the south part of the State,
in which the writer complained that traitors
in his town had cut down the American flag,
and asking what might to be done in the
premises. The Gov. promptly wrote 'him as
follows:
"Whenever you raise the . flag on your
own soil, or on the public property of the
State or country, or at any public celebra
tion, from honest love to that flag, and pat
riotic devotion of the country which it sym
bolizes, and any traitor dares to lay his un
hallowed band upon it to tear it down, then
I say shoot him down.as you would a dog,
and I will pardon you fur the offense."
The C'hamhers Infantry, Captain John
Thaler commanding, which has been, recrui

A Noble Act.-:-In the absence of any na
tion on the part of our County Commission
ers, to pay the promised, bounty to our vol
unteers, Hon. A. K. M'Clure, we have learn
ed, placed in the hands of Capt. John Mo
hler, the commander of the Company of
volunteers who left this place yesterday, for
Harrisburg, his own private check for $5,-
500, so-that each volutiteer, as he is muster
ed in, receives the $5O bounty.
In beha of the patriotic people of Frank
lin county, we thank Col. 111'Clure for this
generous and noble act. - Of course he will
be reimbursed by the Commissioners, but the
act bespeaks great confidence is the loyalty
of our people; and is an evidence of the gen
erosity of the man.—Divatch.
tiirThe.Rebels lately made raid into In
dian, and were welcomed heartily by their
symPathisnrlL The following paragraph from
the Vivay (Ind.) Reveille, of the 31st of
July, will show what became of the rebels,
and whit of the sympathisers :
"The invasion of Newbern, Intl:l9a, by
75 rebel soldiers, was productive of some
good. It roused the patriotism of the peo
ple, and furnished evidence to convict thir
teen home traitors, residents of that town and
county, who led the rebels over the river,
pointed out the houses of Union citizens, and
assisted in the plunder of Government prop
erty. Two of them were candidates on the
Seceslt county ticket, for Itepresentatire and
usseyer,,._ • v" = •
county convention, another drew up the res
olutions, and another one editor of the War
wick Democrat. In addition to these . thir
teen, several others went off with the rebel
guerillas.
"Of these thirteen, two were killed by the
citizens of Newburg, four absconded, and
seven were arrested antare now in jail at In
dianapolis."
If Stonewall Jackson should make a de
utonstrdion into Pennsylvania he would un
doubtedly be welcomed warmly by many of
those who sympathize with him. The fate
•If thcirJndiana compatriots might, however,

. IVashingeoles opinion of Traitors.—ln
Bartlett's history of America, these niemora•
ble word ► ; appear, from the lips of the father
of his country, in speaking of traitors in the
revolutin :
"I would to God," said he, "that some of
the more atrocious in each State were hung
upon a gollows five timesus high as that pre
pared for Haman. No phnishment, in my
opinion, is too severefor the man who can
build his greatness upon his country's ruin."
• SliKonsider the inequality of our deal
inp with the rebels. The prisoners we have
taken from them arc growing stout in the
temperate North. They are fed with capi
tal food, have medicines and attentions in
plenty, and the cool breezes fan their brows
in the heated summer. Our men in thkr
hands—how do they suffer ? Jails dark and
hot, are their abode; neglect, hunger and ver
min their portion.
New use for Coal 01L—Coal Oil is said to
be a sure destroyer of bed-bug:, ants and
roaches. Apply plentifully with a small
brush or feather, to the places where they
do congregate. The cure is effectual and
permanent. Gilt frames, 4c , rubbed slight
ly over with Coal Oil, win not be disturbed
by Ries. The remedy does not cost tench,
and is worth a nil at all events.

Conferance of the
,Generals Rich=
mend— foribe_F
Motputs, July 80: The Bulletin of this
morning has the folloWing from authentic
sources, aiming other interesting items
,as :to
the proceedings of the rebels:
"We have some inkling of the subject dig
cussed at two conferences of all the principal
military leaders, held in ItieinnOnd' on the
4th and sth July. It is understood that
they. came to the conchision that they must
not lose any more territory. The defensive
policy was strongly attacked, and both Lee
and Beauregard advised an invasion of the
North at three points—namely, from Cutn
berland and Williamsport into Pennsylvania,
from Louisville and Cineinnatti into Indiana
and Ohio, and from Paducah and Cairo into
Illinois.
"It is alleged that the • following plan of
operations for the remainder of the summer
campaign was agreed upon: First—The im
mediate obstruction of the James river, so as
to make it ittipossible for McClellan to use it
as a means of communicating with the-Gov
ernment and for the transportation of rein
forcements awl army supplies. Second—
The occupation of WilliamibUrg, Yorktown,
and the entire Peninsula. Third- 7 --The re
covery of the whole territory of Virginia, and
the suppression of the Baltimore awl Ohio
Railroad, the recovery of New Orleans, Mem
phis, and the Mississippi river, and the ex
pulsion of the Federal troops from Tennessee
and Kentucky.
Fourth—When these objects have been
accomplished, then it was proposed to carry
out the plan e l f Lee and Beauregard. Fifth
—To make the Potomac and Ohio rivers at
once their basis of operations and frontier
lines, and to transfer the - seat of war from
Virginia to Maryland. Sixth—To hurl up
on Washington, from Mamoru!, a column
of 800,000 troops.
"By the capture of that city, the libem
.

North at the three points named above, be- i
coming in turn the invaders they here to
make it necessary for us to keep at home,
for the defence of our Cities, five hundred

ders her even. Children add then Cats her
men . Throat.--The Quebec (C. B. ) Chroni
cle, °LAW 22d inst., gives the following ac
count of a terrible tragedy in that dityt.
We learned last night, from a gentleman
from Arthabaskaville, that a shocking trage
dy has occurred in the towoship of Stanford,
about three miles from the station, some
time yesterday morning. A woman nameci
Rave Bourret, who has manifested symp
toms of insanity yerirs w age, and before her
marriage, and whose husband is now in the
United States, murdered her seven children
and then cut her own throat: It appears
that on Sunday night there was a veillee at
her house, and the thing must'have occur
red between the departure of the guests and
morning, for at an early hour yesterday morn-.
ing, 3l'Linte Bourret's daughter, who had
been at the veillee, but resided at St. Por
bert, called at her ututhers to see her.
Finding the door closed, she lookfd in
through the, window,.and was then shocked
to see eight corpses—those of her mother,
her brothers and sisters. The eldest of the
murdered children a girl of fourteen years of
age ' seems to have had a desperate struggle
for her life, for the bodies of mother and
daughter were lying close together, and the
mother had several wounds on bet arm, ap
parently inflicted by an as that was close to
the bodies. The - daughter's throat and arm
were cut, evidently with a razor which the
rigid fingers of the mother still tightly grasp;
ed when the tragedy was discovered by the
surviving daughter. All the doors and win
dows were found barred on the inside, thus
of course leading to the conclusion that the
dreadful deed hid been committed by some
one inside.
TFI E NEW GENERAL I N CHIEF
We think the loyal country will.gcncrally
rejoice in the appointment of Major-General
Balleck to the post 41 General-in-Chiefof
the armies of the U. States. We do not
'know that the experiment hail been tr 7 ed, at
any time during the war, of reposing the di
rection of our armies wholly in the hands of
civil officers. Military advisers of rank and
experience 'have always been in commun ,ica
tiot with the War Department lied — the Pre
ident. But the visibleresponsibility has at
tached to the civil officers, beyond what was
salutary. A • great milita_yr director ought
nd p•xt, clothed Ti'
end oat, etottik with the authority due
to such . a position. Gen. HaHeck is selected
as such a director. He has shown himself
fit and competent for the arduous duties that
now 'lie before him. Without disparagi ng
others, it not more than the truth to say
that the great personal success of this war
thus far is displayed in Gen. lialleck's man
agement of the Department of the Mississip
pi from his headquarters at St. Louis. In
the field others have done as well as be. We
believe ho will add to his executive honors
in the larper and more critical position to
which he is now called , and in so doing will.
open a new era in the war. And we have
uo doubt that his elevation will prove as AC
ceptable to all our Generals in the field as it
will be serviceable to the Administration.—

ny of these are hardly fit for duty. These
are posted at different places ) and it is felt by
the officers that they would be, at the mercy
of a revengeful mob, but for the protection
of ships of war. So imminent is the danger
that two of the largest vessels of our Navy,
the Pensacola and the Mississippi, with their
guns constantly doub e-slotted, are kept
on the river where they can rake the
principal streets of the pity. Gen. Magru
