J. E. WALKBIt..— On Saturday evening last the Eastern mail brought the sad announcement that Capt. John E. Walker, of Co. A. 77th Reg. Pa. Vol. had been killed neat Atlanta, Ga., which is confirmed by the following letter from Fife Alajor, Teremiah Cooper. Capt. Walker was one among the first in this place to enter his name as a private in the three months service, his time expiring he re-enlisted and continued in the field to the last. He took part in all the bard fought battles of the west and was twice wounded He was a most excellent young man, modest and unassuming, but in the hour of conflict - exhibited a coolness . and courage that mu tiered him the object •of admiration among • very—impulse was that of a patriot. Here at home, where he was so well known, the announcement of his death, caused almost universal sorrow. Even those who are enemies to the cause to which he Was so much devoted and for which he gave his life, profess to honor the memory of the gallant, dead. We deeply' sympathise with his aged too they and other sorrowing friends upon whom the heavy hand of affliction has thus been suddenly laid. They have the consolation left them however. that ho yielded his young life in a noble cause, manfully discharging a solemn duty to his God and country. Annexed is the letter from stir. Cooper: • " • CAMP Tirit Rum. PA. V•' V. in the Field near Atlanta Ga, Aug. Eith,lBo4. Editor of the Record—lt becomes my painful duty to inform the citizens of IVaynes boro through your columns of Capt. John E. Walker's-death, Oa the morning of the sth there was a detail of fifty men made of the 77th Reg,t. I'. V. for picket duty. Captain Walker had ehargo of them. All remained (!uiet along the lines until about 4 V. M., when the lines were ordered to advance.— !i hey advanced about seventy-five yards when the rebels opened a desperate and galling fire from their rifle pits and main line of works. 'the Captain had advanced further than ei ther right or left of the line, so his command. was exposed to a desperate cross fire, but a mid the leaden hail from the • enemy be was cheering his men • on to victory . or death.— Alas ! he shared the latter fate, he fell pier ced, by a minnia through the head• when within ten feet of the rebel rifle pits. AS soon as he fell the line was ordered to fall • back. Private Jacob Lackey; a devoted friend, who was by his side when he fell suc ceeded in getting his sword which was drawn, but 'could not got the soabbord as it was buc kled around his body. The fire was so in-' cessant it. was impossible to remain about his person. After their noble leader , had fell the lines fell burg so hurriedly it was impossible . to get his body :may. Afterwatds several' unsuccessful attempts were. made' to secure his body. `You could scarcely imagine the gloom that spread over the camp, regiment, and indeed the brigade, when the report of his death spread over the - camp. His face was famil miliar to nearly every officer and soldier of the brigade, and he was admired by , all who kneW him for his coolness and daring. There was not a more promising officer in the brig. . ade. When Gen, Gross received the news of his death ho said "can it be possible—he was too brave to die." , His death has caus ed tears from many veteran eyes, his compa ny greatly sympathize with his bereaved friends.

MINISTER MURDERED.—The follow ng is an extract from the Rockinghar act' . a.) "ii_f_3:la ' Jane 24, 1864 : -The Rev. John Kline, of Linvill's Creek - , in this county; an aged Tucker preacher of considerable prominence, and a man of great influence with and in his church, Was• shot and killed near his residence, about eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning of last Week (15th June). He had gone to a neighbor's in the direction of '.Curleytown, we learn, to clean a clock, and was on his return when the tragedy occurred. He was shot iu the groin and breast With four balls, and is sup posed to have been instantly killed. !le bad some money and his watch on his per son when he was killed,—these . were not disturbed by the party by Wheal he was, slain. lie was known as an uncompromising un ion man, and darinc , the early part of the war had been arrested by order of Gen. Jack son for disloyalty. He had however 'been honorably acquitted, and was pursuing "the even tenor of his way" passing . frequently Ypermission of cur authorities within • the nkee lines to preach and.hild other reli gious services. He was a man of the strict, est integrity in his business transactions, and was• highly esteemed in' hi's • church whose membership will mourn his , death as the removal of one of the pillars' of the church. The motives which induced some assassins to waylay and kill him will proba bly be never fully known and understood ; but the cause of his death doubtless had some connection with the troubles that now afflict the country, occupying as he was be lieved to do, a position of antagonism in feel. ing to the Confederacy. Whilst our people differed with Mr. Kline in the erroneous views which be entertained, yet all good cit izens must deplore such a lawless wreaking of venotanee . .tipon the person of an unarm ed and feeble man.--Sueh things show how rapidly we ureldrifting into scones which must be full of terror to us a 11,."

HEAR "JOHN CESSNA."—Wc invite the attention of Copperheads to the follow-, ins extract of a speech lately delivered in Lancaster City,'by . the old Democratic votCr an Hon. John Cessna. We occasionally say and write some pretty bitter' things of these re attics but we knockiintier toJohn Cessna. hear him; - "There are unfortunately those among us who cannot discuss the question a single moment _without showing, that they are at heart foes of the Government and enemies of their race. The people soon learn to find out and know these men. Human skill and' ingenuity and all of a traitor's cunning can not long succeed in concealing their real sell. timents. They hatig back or skulk away from our public gatherings on tour national holidays ; they disparage Union officers and soldiers and eulogize the Rebels. All Un ion victories are insignificant—of little ac count ; Rebel victories are of incalculable value and importance. Good news is, never credited—bad news is often originated, be lieved and circulated long before verified.—, Taxes are-obnoxious and oppressive ; dral ts are unconstitutional and odious,war is bloody and _desolating, and the nation ought .at once to stop it. For nearly four years every thing has been, wrong ; nothing excellent, nothingeven praiseworthy or passable has', ever been done by their own Guvernorent—•' only mistakes, wrongs, wicked acts of tyrauy and'earnest appeals aro made to the people to arise in their might and prevent the es tablishment of a military despotism. Dur ing all this time, they have never been known to utter a word - of denunciation,against the Rebellion or see an improper act south, of the -Rebel lines. These are the uumistaka blo earmarks of the traitor. Ile may re monstrate he may write • down beneath the picture in large letters the word 'Patriot ; he may in very noisy . and earnest words, in sist that he is a • 'sound Democrat,' and that every man of his - party who sustains the war is an ''Abolitionist.

WASUINGTON, August la. —Six refugees and twenty-one deserters from , the rebel ar rrived-here-to-day from City Pain- The former left Richmond by stealth, on Thursday night, and came into our lines.— They tell a long story, representing that four trains of twenty cars each arrived in Rich mond, bringing a body of troops from .Pe tersburg, said to be a diiision, and they left immediately. on the Central road, to reinforce Early in the valley. A large body of caval ry arrived the same, day, coming by railroad, and departed for the same destination. One - of - this party-worketl on Belle Island, and states that when he left there were but five Federal prisoners, the others having all been sent south to Georgia. There are but few Federal prisoners in Libby; in fact, none but the sick and wounded are kept over a few days after their reception. At the time the Danville Railroad was out our prisoners were made to walk on: foot some seventy miles before they took the railroad. These men heard the guards say, when they 'returned, that many gave out and died on the road.— There are no troops in or about Richmond except in the fortifications, those on the south side being fully garrisoned, while .those on the north have barely enough men id them, to.keep things in order. ' The deserters from the army have belong ed to different regiments, and have left their litres at different times, so lute as Monday last. Most of them are from' Merida Ala barn, and Georgia tegiments, and: 'have- not . generally served over oue year, but that year has been enough. _Those from the .States named above say that there is a sort of half Miiany among the.troops of those Stator ;who are sick of th war, and anxious to give in. • The officers, howerer, manage to keep them from deserting by making them believe that if they come over to our lines General Grant will put them in the hoot ranks. •They state, that for a , long time some of them believed this nonsense, and were deterred from corn, ing over; and they are satisfied that if the 11130 in the Alabama, Georgia, and 'Florida regiments knew-that they would be treated Well the desertions Would be extensive.— Most . of these deserters hive been. stationed at 'the front,_ and. cannot; they say, form any correct estimate of the strength .6f the . Con federate force at Petersburg, but none of them believe their entifirAirmy exceeds '5O. 000 men; and brigades and divisions are be ing sent away Once Or twice' a' week to Other points. 'i.leriSaripts are d'onstantly being re ported, however, and their army may be for some time kept up by these accessions. '`. • Frightful EXplosion of 9rdnanoe Stores. FORT .
