who consented. He directed him immediately to
collect all possible information relative to the
roads leading to the rear. He had no thought of
a retreat, but merely aimed at obtaining inform
ation which any prudent General would Consider
necessary for an intelligent understanding of
the field of action. Gen. Butterfield, on the
morning of the second day, drew up an order,
directing all trains and baggage to be sent to the
rear. This order gave the occasion for the as
sertion of various officers, that an order to re
treat had been given. Gen. Mead states that
Gen. Butterfield showed him the order; that he
told him it would not answer, and that if it was
issued it was without his authority. This state
ment of Gen. Meade is corroborated by the testi
mony of Gen. Gibson and other general officers
and members of his staff.

about seven miles from the town, suddenly burst
in, and inundated the valley of the Don, sweep
ing away entire villages, drowning the sleeping
inhabitants by hundreds. Trees were uprooted,
and the debris of buildings carried down the
river was immense. In some of the streets of
Sheffield the debris is piled up eight and tea
feet high, and among it are found fragments of
furniture and many dead bodies. For more than
an hour the streets near the river were three
and four yards deep in water. Great numbers
of men are now engaged getting dead bodies
out of houses where they have been drowned in
bed. Others are being gathered in from gardens
into which they have Boated. In many cases the

any sign to show that the water had waked them,
or that they had consciously passed from the
sleep of life to the long, long sleep of death.
The number of the dead is stated to be 268.

The Monongahela House, of Pittsburgh, has
been for many years known as one of the best
hotels in the United States. But the proprietors
have commenced a series of alterations and im

in comfort, to the finest houses in this country.
It has been announced - that - Pennsylvania had
an excess of 10,000 men on the previous call,
and that-the entire &Lite had only to furnish
16,000 men to meet the 200,000 call. This is
gratifying news. Certainly this number will be
supplied without resorting to the draft, if re
cruiting has been anything like as active in
other places as in Pittsburgh.

The Work of turning and boring the new 20-
inch gun at the Port Pitt works, is nearly com
pleted. Some idea of the calibre of this monster
piece of ordnance may be gained from the state
ment that an ordinary flour barrel (tong be
thrust into the bore. A 10-inch columbiad with
its trunnions removed, would be very little too
large to enter the gun.
The Subsistence Committee of Pittsburgh,
through whose liberal and self-denyingext , rtions
so many of our brave soldiers have been plenti
fully supplied with food, while passing through
this city, bas received a highly commendatory

DIED—At his' lesideuse in Piqua 'Ohio,
,on Thursday, March 24th, 1864, at I o'clock P. M.,
ROBERT SPENCER, in,the 71st year of his age,
after a brief illness.
The . funeral services having taken , place in
Piqua, hii . remains were conveyed to"Pittsbuigh,
where.they were interreilin the Allegheny Cem
etery, near the grave of.-his brother, Samuel
Spencer.
Mr, Spencer was born in Ramelto n, County
Donegal, Ireland, in 1793, wliiird he resided un
til the Summer of 1853. He was for many years
a Ruling Elder in the Third Presb'n church in the
place of his birth, and was an eminent example of
a sincere and consistent Christian. He came to
this country in June, 1853, and settled in Piqua,
of which place he became a useful and respected
citizen. During his-long and useful life, it may
be truly said of him, be lived the life of the
righteous, and his end was peaceful and serene.
With an_unwavering trust in the merits of the
Redeemer's blood, he fell " Weep in Jesus."
+DIEDI:--March 6th, ; near Edinburgh, 0., Mrs.
SUSANNAH JOHNSON, in ihe 88th year of her
age.
Mrs.. Johnson was a member of Apple Creek
Presbyterian church. She bad been long and
severely afflicted, Jet she was not only patient
and resigned, but even cheerful, under her sore
trials. Although a loving wife and kind mother,
yet she was ready to depsiewithal, whenever it
pleased God to take.her to himself. She was
endowed with a kind and Mild disposition. B
esides in her life wire seen fruits:if the Holy
Spirit. She left a large circle of friends to
mourn her loss. How comforting to reflect that
they do not mourn as 'those without hope
I. Thes: iv: 18, 14-4 4 But I would not have you
to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which
are asleep, that ye sorrow..not even as others
which have no hope. For if we believe that
Jesus died and rose again, even so them also
which sleep in Jesus, will Sod bring with him."

DIED—At the residence of her husband, at
Dunningaville, Nottingham Tp., Washington Co.,
Pa., February 23d, 1864, Mrs. ELIZABETH,`
wife of Samuel Thomas, aged 40 years, 5 months,
and 26 days. .
The deceased was born in Jefferson County,'
near Smithfield, Ohio. She was but three
weeks old at the time of her mother's
death. Later in life she removed to Wash
ington County, Pa., titer. Canonsburg. She
was married on the 12th day of May, 1842,
and was dedicated to God in baptism by the
Rev. Dr. Sloan, in Sept., 1844. Her Christian
life, though brief, was -brightand beautiful at. all
times, as becometh the Gospel: Indeed, few have
the same good spirit of meekness and pleasant.
ness, as she was beloved by ell-that knew her. She
had escaped the measles until the present sick
ness set in, January Bth, with complication of
diseases, which terminated , her life. Her hands
were often in the attitude of prayer while on
'her dying bed, and she often spake of Jeses and
salvation for a poor sinner, and of the interest
taken in her by her neighbors. Speaking to her
some two or three day,s before her death, in rela
tion to the salvation
.of her soul, and as to
whether she would like to live longer, she re- .
plied that she would not, but felt willing to die
and be with Christ.' About twenty hours before
her death, she took each child by the hand, that
was at-home, (the second daughter being at the
Seminary at StenbenVille, and a son being cap
tured November 10th, 1862, and notbeing heard
or since,) also some of her neighbors, and gave
theth her counsel.
She suffered very muoh pain, and "when ad
vised by her physicians not to let many persons
in the room, she replied that all persons should
come in and seeler. She never was disturbed
either in body or. mind. She has departed to be
with that blessed throng, where there is no pain
or sorrow. "RejoiCe with me, lam going to a
place of everlasting joy. In a short time I shall
be with the loved- Jesus. "f is sweet to me to
think of eternity." "" A FRIEND.

MUSIC IN THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL.
Every Superintendent and Teacher knows fhb. value of
music in the. Sundiy-School. It is' one of eta chief attrac
flops and most profitable eaereises. St you would have
your Sunday School
well attended, MAKE ITS MUSIC ATTEAC
,TIVE. If you would have your Sunday-School efficient as a
means of good, MAILZ ITS mused ammeter. Song has pecu
liar power to raise the heart and arouse the feelings. All
this Is, in *male measure, at least, understood and appre
ciated, and the problem, often a difficult one, is how to make
the music what it should be.
No one means is more importantto this end, than a good
accompanying instrument.> However exc.lient the' leader
may be, he needs an instrument to help him; and where the
leader has not much Confidence in himself, an acconipany
ing instrument is of yet More value. gl , :uch an instrument
will attract and interest the children; wilt induce them to
try to sing, -nd render it much easier for them to do so. It
will add vastly to the impressiveness of the music; and. in
deed. so great is its value that no Sunday-School which has
enjoyed the use -of a good one, will afterwards benatisfied to
do without one.. . • ,
A. great difficirlty in the way of the general introduction
0 4 , accompanying instruments in Sabbath-Schools has been
the lack of these. which were both desirable and available.
Stich an 'instrument mast have good quality of tone, for
this is the first ellkential "it must have great volume of
power. bar:and it should be sufficient to guide and sustain
(though not 'overpower) a chorus of hundreds of voices; It
must occupy little space, because not many Snx.day-School
rooms have much to spare for such a purpose; it must be
durable not liable to- get out _ f order or oat of tune;
and last, (riot least, practically,) it mast be afforded at a
nrodetate cost, for few Sunday-800mb can afford to expend
a very large sum for en instrument. The melodeon has
failed, chiefly because it lacked power or volume of tons;
the various harmoniums, school-organs, &a.. have had 'more
power, but have been deficient in quality of tone, and in
other respects.
MASON k HAMLIN, havinge.been long extensively en
gaged in the manufacture of melodeons and harmoniums
(for which they hive'inveriably takendie - first premiums at
all industrial lairs and exhibitiont) have had constant evi
dence of 'the need of a better instrument, such as has been
described, for Sunday-Schools and churchei ' as well as for
private aso.- The experience of this want led them to the
institution of many experiments, looking to such improve
ments, the first important result of which was the introduc
tion by them of the harmonium several years since. This
(Detriment. wee an improvement apnn the melodeon in sew
end respects. Aiming at still better results, •however. U.
'& U. continued their experiniente, and hid the satisfaction,
something more than a year since, of introducing the
COMET WIGAN,
an instrument similar Innevene respects to the melodeon
and lincmOnium; but gemming several very ielportant
Trovementacrrer these instruments and alkotbers of ita gen
eral class
The CaMILIET OTWAN is recommended with-confidence
as admirably suited in all respects to Sunday,.Schools and
'churches, as well as private use. Some. of its prominent
excellences are Its mire, round, orgaulike tone; its great
volume of tone, adapting it to -the accompaniment of large
numbers of 'voices; its darateity for expre s sion," arising
chiefly from the AUTOMATIC lIELT.OWS SWELL, a new
invention of much more practical value than any improve
meet made in such instruments for - many years; its com
pact form, durability and quality. of keeping in tune' for
year's its onicknetis of action, adapting it to the perform
ance of. very_rapid music, and ITS MODERATE COST.

Or. if in any School there be no one who can already
play, them will ilinost always be found some one who can
and will , learn enough - In a very short time to accompany
well.-
The present is a good time for the introduction of such no
instrument. Smell contributions - from the many interested
in almost every Sabbath' School. will raise the means.
