Thieves About Again 7 —W e learn that th'e
Snow Hill Society was' again visited 'by
tl ieves on Friday night last. The next day
( aturday) had been set apart for the annual
religious meeting of the society, and hey
'bad consequently made provision for the oc
casion. 'The thieves were aware of this
it appears and during the night effected an
entrance into the kitchen attached to the
church by prizing out the Steeples of one of
the shutters and removing the glass, and
stole-therefrom about thirty loaves of bread,
a•considerable quantity of sugar, butter, ap
plobutter, &c. We also learn that the smoke
house of Mr. Jacob Hess was broken open
on Saturday night, by perhaps the same par
ties, and nearly all of his bacon stolen, eight
hams and five or six shoulders. It is very
much to be regretted that all efforts thus
far to detect and bring to justice these vil
lains have failed. They have been plunder
ing that section for ,years. The good citi
zens living in that region should be more
Atatchful and if possible ferret out and rid
the neighborhood of audit infamous 'charm

and delivered a most elogieiii iind - patriotic

efforts Were trade to interrupt the

A 'p" LAO these smny'4iiiiilei gathered a
bent the door: and alien' the stops of the
Hall, bellowing and making all possiblopoise
which they kep s t.up during the evening. ..It
' seemed that the audience were determined
to Pat see to what extent these "copper
heads" Would carry their' meanness. Not
satisfied with the noise, hissing the - speaker,
hallowing for the '.‘ti. S. A.," etc., just be
fore the meeting adjourned an egg was hurl.
ed against one of the windows breaking the.
glass. • Notwithstanding-all this there-are
those who have the affrontry to get up and,
make groat professions of loyalty'and at the
same time declare that there are no
persons 'here nor elsewhere in the north.—
Why this' attempt then to interrupt the
speaker and insult the audience? The mee-.
ting was not a political one. The invitation
was to loyal men of all parties. Could a loy
al person be guilty , of such conduct? As
suredly not. The fact is, parties who thus
demean themselves Are not loyal to the Gov
ernment, and here .union meetings, union
speakers and union newspapers are obnox 7
ions to them. The man who asserts that.
„nobody is disloyal in the lo•al states must
be one of two things, it fool or full-fledged

peWe have been permitted Co insert the
Mewing letter from Capt. Barnitz, on the
death of Amos Suowherger : , •
NEw IIEENE ; N. C. } l°
, April 2.0, 1863.
Mr. • David - Sn owbereer—Dear a
patriot you have now offered up, as a semi
nee upon the 'altar of Liberty, your' sacred
son Amos SNOwBERGEE, who expired on
the 18th inst. withmit a groan in the }respi
te) at Netv Berne, where, inu.beautiful Com
etry founded, and established for the martyrs
of Jiberty, his remains were interred with
the honors of war. His disease was of such
a peculiar character that his death occasion
ed general surbrise; two , hours before he.
_died,_he was_sittingAbout_dressed as usual ;
he was not iii bed at all, save at night; He
had gotten quite stout and Ifbarty, was in
good spirits and contented, until he heard
of the death of his Brother; from that mo
ment there was a change in his condact, he
began to complain and Jet 'the doctor'' , could
not tell wherin ho ailed; he never suffered
save from headache; I noticed that he was
losing flesh, and 1 , often tried to cheer him
up, as every onto supposed his disease men
tal; but I never would have believed that
such an affliction would have taken his life
in sonhort a time • Amos never made any
request of me; I do net know, in fact, wheth
er his parents ale living, and I must wait
until the regiment returns, it is out on an
-expedition for a week past, to find some one
in the company who can 'inform me, and
their.P. 0. Had I known whereyou lived
and your desires with regard to his remains,
I would have been most happy.to,serve you;
if you desire his remains, go to,llarrisburg,
where you will get transportation free to
this place' and back, you can get , a metalie
coffin here iu which his remains, exhumed,
you can take home.
I',novor mai l with a young man 'whose amia
bility, virtue and eicelleuce of ,character was'
more 'estimable, or who, possessed nobler
traits, a 'more natural . manhood; a lovelier
dispositian,than Amos; hence during his
Muesli L often spoke to the doctor's but they
give little satisfaction as nothing in, their
opinion,. but change of scene, and. action,
something that would engage his attention,
strike his *agitation, would him;
AMOE is in heaven, far removed from the
trying visissitudes of time, and relieved - from
the affliction of beholding liberty bleeding,
freedom terribly endangered,, and this glori-

sore and weary, hoping that, 'on , reaching

were_ _ohed_i to_the brush and-ordered-to

in greenbacks , and immediately enclosing it

ing we marched on Swift creek Village,
drove in the Rebel pickets, to.: k possession
of their rifle-pits nod entrenchments, extend
ing for miles; ho* our heaps were surcharg
ed with sorrow at seeing the atilietions and
sufferings of widows, whose husbands had
been pressed and killed in the rebel service.
One ease I shall never forget. Going into
a small house, I found a widow surroudded
with six little ones, and•one in her lap, but.
five weeks old ! The Cal. asked her whether
our mgra were disturbing her;' with despair
marked on her every feature, her eyes swol
len with recent weeping, she sormerfully re
plied, "They can't disturb me; Mime, as
you see, nothing for them to take, I have
hal nothing for myself and children to eat •
4. i *s •91"--t id then. bursting • into
tears;she said,."Yes, I have two" chickens,
doii't let them ttzlce them I"—bur children
meanwhile gathered close about bei, their
eyes glittering;eheeks hollow, and faces
looking cadaverous, all showing that they.
were starving I—Unable lto bear the sight
the Col: turned away; told the boys her con
dition,..and-asked them if•they would share
their ration's . ' with her. Immediately haver
sacks were opened, and a perfect, stream of
.crackers and °dee, and sugar, and meat
poured into the little cabin; money alio was
given her, and her face and those of the -little
ones brightened ' P up at this exhibition of
s , mpathY and kindness and with thank-
she said, "Ah ! the South was Wrong, in
commencing this war; the rich don't feel it;
the poor lose all; we must starve !" The
little children seized the crackers, and oh !
with what avidity they ate them! With many
a tear and heavy hearts we turned away to
enter a large house, where niggers were dan
einitittendanee; and where want was un
known; where plenty formerly reigned and
luiury stalked unchecked. Here a young
lady, in barred-silk, hauty as a, queen, with
nose and 'upper-lip upturned, presented her
seirand tauntingly inquired why we did. not
come yesterday, as the Robs had :just left ?
We replied by inquiring why they did not
watt for us ? She' didn't see it- exactly, but
started off in a flow of southern eloquence;
that reminded rue of the dashing little stream
without depth, 'all noise and -sound. She
wished she was a man. that she might rejoice
in killing Yankees ! The' Col. handed her
his pistol and told her to shoot Um'! "She
gave in "Well' says she, "I'm tired,of tkii_
war; I wouldn't like to kill any one - ; would
to God we could have peace This is the
heartfelt wish of every Reb we , have met.
The Robs having scattered, Gen.' Foster
marched two brigades to Washington—the
sition having'onded,—and our brigade was
ordered buck to New Reine. Rumors were
rife 'the few days we remained at New Berne,
that we were going to be moved; some hoped,
heard, BELIEVED that wo wore going to
Washington D. C.—some that we were to be
sent home to have an opportunity to enlist;
others conjectured Roauoak Island to be our
destination; this mor doubts were
removed, our suspe se ended by being
marched aboard the e steamer Long Island
destined for Little 'Washington I Though'
the sky was again concealed in ominous.
clouds, as when we started before for the
same place, and were shoaled, and - frightened
and sickened; yet the air remained calm,
and the steamer glided over the watets like
Anseres, the men filling
the decks, smoking,
chatting, playing cards, the officers in the
4cubip, reading, writing, amusing themselves
in every possible manner, and_ enjoying the
fine fire the little steward so plentifully pro
vided, and so richly and deliciously served
up.
We reached here, early in the evening ,
and were assign ed quarters. I have command
of two Block -Houses, in which my company
is comfortably quartered ; Co. does Pro-
- vest duty in town, the other companies are
,on duty at other points in the • vicinity.
Little Washington is beautifullysituated on
amlico river, about one Mile' below the
junction of •
the Tar and Swift rivers. The
streets aro narrow, but beautifully over arch
ed by the long majestically bowing limbs of
the stately trees, thickly planted on either
side, I merely marched through

GEN. ROOKER'S SUCCE.S.S.
In advance of' the telegraiih despatches
from the army, we publish the following, re.
ceived by mail, as the latest , intelligence, and
issued inn extras by the New York - Tribune
and Lieraid:
Our:news by mail, says..the Tribune, from
the Rappahannock, is up to Sunday .morn
ing. At that time our left wing was in
.poksession of Fredericksburg, and of the
firselime of redoubts ‘Dn the hill behind 4 6
add was feeling its way to the second
The river was crossecl,, and. the redoubts
were carried with great ease; and with very
slight loss 'of life.-
'The rebels had marched away in the di
rection of Chancellorville (ten miles above
Fredericksburg) to attack--eur right,, wing
there posted, leaving at first only , 10,000
men, and subsequently not more than 5,000
to t,OOO O in their Works, as was ascertained
by , recoaneiseance-from-liowe's-ballooL
A gitedt portion of'our Falmouth batter
ies were engaged enSunday„with the rebel
batteries, firing across the rives and city.—
The firing, both of musketry and cannons
.ding on the right, in the direction of Chan
cellorville, was very heavy. '
The enemy had been forced to fight on
around of General Hooker's eboosinm e , as he
promised his soldiers in' the general order
published this morning should be the case.
It was believed in both I,. •
al Stoneman's expedition-to out the railroads
between the rebels and Richmotid had
proved successful, thus catting off the only
path of retreat-
So confident was General Hooker at Fal
mouth of the success that, in conformity
with his orders, a force hada already commen
ced to rebuild a bridge over the Raipahan
,
neck.
The troops are in the finest spirits, and
everything looks prop4ious.
LATER.
The correspondence of the Herald up to
eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, says that.
during the artillery duel below Fredericks
burg on Saturday, the fire of Battery L, Ist'
New York, told with such terrible effect up
on the rebels that it dismounted some of
their guns and silenced their battery.
"Last evening there was a brilliant fire in
the rear of Fredericksburg, which appeared
to proceed from the burning of rebel encamp
ments. There was° another firein the rear
of Falmouth, from the 'burning of encamp.
ments below Stoneman's Station.
"Fredericksburg was , occupied this morn
ing, i6out. 2 o'clock, .by our troops. The
batteries on either side of the river common
cad playing upon each other about 6 o'clock
and the-roaring of cannon was loud and pro
longed.
"The weather is most excellent for milita
ry operations; and the.details of one of the
incst brilliant military successes the world
ever knew will reach you, soon. 'Wait a
little longer? •
