On Tuesday last, three soldiers of one of
the British Regiments in Canada, embark
ed in a skiff at Grimsby, and boldly set out
upon a voyage across the head of Lake On
tario, intending' of course, desertion. Their
departure was telegraphed to Fort George,
at the mouth of the Niagara, and a boat,
with six armed men on board, set out from
there to intercept them. The deserters'
skiff was presently overhauled by the latter,
and a fierce naval engagement upon the
lake ensued. The runaways fought des
perately, and one, it is said, was shot before
they hauled down their colors and surren
dered. The
Lee Homestead, opposite Wash
ington.
Many persons who have visited the vicin
ty of Washington will remember the for
mer beauty of the White House, on the
Highta. A correspondent speaks of It now
83 follows:
The home of the Lees at Arlington is da
scribed as a sad sight to behold just now.
It 13 no longer the the temple of chivalry
liberality, aod urbanity. Its portals are no
longerMung wide open from its capacious,
chaste and beautiful portico. The windows
which overlook the semi-circular lawn,
fringed with dark-dyed trees, and sloping
down towards the glittering Potomac, are
shaUered, and the birds which have built
their nests upon the cornices wing their way
and twitter through the deserted corridors.
No flag streams from the lofty staff, rear
ing itself so grandly from the midst of the
full grown Bward, and almost confronting
tho Washington monument. A portent
ous stillness seems to. droop around, as
though in every tree there was a still
small voice, which could not be distinctly
heard, and as though the imagined murmur
of the distant river meant sometbiog more
than it could say. This bouse and these
grounds will soon have become converted to
far different uses to those for which their late
proprietor, the Rebel General Lee, intended
them. The interior of the mansion is to be
remodelled so as to correspond in its pur
poses with the cemetery which will surround
it, and some of the estate is already occu
pied as a burial-ground, known as the Na
tional Cemetery.

From the Westchester (Fa.) Jeffersonian.
Who Is to Blame for the Burning of
Chambersbarg.
The Philadelphia Inquirer of August 2d,"
in an editorial, beaded 'Ransom and Arson,'
remarks that 'there has been a sudden change
in the tactics of General Jubal Early in the
matter or the destruction of private proper
tyand asks'whalhas produced this change?'
I would with proper respect, refer the In
quirer to lEsop's fablo of the Parti.il Judge,
to whom a farmer came expressing-great
concern for an acoident which he said had
just happened. 'One of your oxen' continued
he, 'has been gored by an unruly bull of
mine, and I should be glad to know how I
am to make you reparation.' 'Thcu art a
very honest fellow,' replied the lawyer.'and
will not thick it unreasonable that I expect
one of thy oxen in return.' 'It is no mere
than justice,' quoth the farmer, 'to be sure.
But what did I pay? I mistake; it isyour
bull that has killed one of my oxen.' 'In
deed' says the lawyer, 'that alters the case; I
most inquire into the affair, and if ' 'If,'
said the farmer, interrupting him, 'the if
might have been left out, had you been as
ready to do justice to others, as to exact it
from them!'
The Inquirer and terrified leaguer might
learn a lesson from this fable, if they will
not from Generals Lee's forbearance la.'t
summer, when at Gettysburg. These peo
ple forget the dreadful sufferings they have
inflicted through their armiea and unsuc
cessful generals on the defenceless women
and children of the Confederacy. Burning
their towns and destroying their crops and
implements of husbandry, aod desolating
hearth-stones far and wide. I have before
roe a list of towns and villages burnt by
northern armies in the South, from which I
select here eome for the leaguers to examine,
asking tbem what mercy they can expect
from a victorious Southern army, whose
officers and men have before them theirown
ruined homes and suffering families, burn
ing towDS and a country desolated by the
malign rage of baffled northern generals.
Our shoddy newspapers rejoiced over the
desolation made in Mississippi by Sherman's
army, who boasted that be had burned
every dwelling house on his route!! Does
the Inquirer suppose that Southern soldiers
coming here will keep their hands off?
Prior to the invasion of the North last sum
mer, by General Lee, the following towns
had been burned by Northern generals, be
sides numberless private dwellings, in the
short space of three months time, the list is
reliable. In May 1863 Admiral Porter ut
terly destroyed the town of Grand Gulf;
General Grant burnt Jackson the capital of
Mississippi, and the towns of Edwards Sta
tion, Rankin, Brandon and other Mississippi
villages; Greenville, Miss., burnt by gun
boats; Ellet burnt the village of Austin,
Miss., Trenton, N. C, burnt by Federal
troops; General Blair by order of Grant, de
vastated fifty miles of country between the
Yazoo and Big Black Rivers. In June Ellet
burned the village of Simmsport, Ark.;
Blufton, S. C, burnt by Com. Gibson, U. S.
N., and over one hundred women and
children were killed by shells; Menticello, a
village in Tennessee, destroyed by Capt.
Carter; City of Darien, Ga., reduced to ashes
by the Yankee Higginsou's negro soldieis;
village of Eunice, Miss., destroyed by U. S.
gunboat Marmora; Richmond, La., burned
by Gen. Ellet. These atrocities were per
petrated before Lee's invasion last summer,,
when be protected private propertj ad per
sons, no doubt as an example of Christian for
bearance to our Generals. Gettysburg, Cham
bersburg, Carlisle and York, were for a long
time in bis possession and were not burned
even Gettysburg was not burned though
used as a refuge for Union troops, &d., and
situated in the battle field. Lee refrained
doubtless in the bope that our trcops would
return the favor when on southern soil.
But have tbey done so? let the raiders saot
out by Litcoln under Dahlgren, with com
bustible materials in their pockets with
which to fire the ci'.y of Richmond, answer;
let the Union armies in the Carolinas.Geor
gia and Florida answer; let the whipped
Hunter answer; has the Inquirer forgotten
the history of his wretched flight through
Western Virginia? has he forgotten the his
tories of burning dwellings on his retreat, of
the robberies and fearful crimes committed
bv the fiend Hunter? What right has the
North to expect mercy at the hands of th
Confederate soldiers, burning to avenge such
cruel wrong? Ihe North, boasting of thei
civilization have been tne aggressors; and
must expect retaliation at the hands of the
South, lbe monster Lincoln and his min
ion Stanton, and his Generals Grant, Butler,
Banks, (who, by the way most wantonly
and from pure rage, burnt Alexandria, La.)
Sherman, and other beateu Generals are to
blame for the burniog of Cbambersburg.
It was in retaliation for the wicked acts
above recited, that Chambersburg was burnt
These atrocities will explain the change in
Early's conduct, and the Inquirer wi.l in
deed do well if he can get Lincoln to give
Curtin permission to fortify the borders of
Pennsylvania and the lint of the Susque
hanna. ForBhould Lincoln refuse to per
mit Curtin to do this, xorK, uarrisourg
Lancaster, West Chester and Philadelphia,
may suffer the fate of Chambersburg, befon
the summer closes. uhhistiax.
Salt for Bed Bugs. A correspondent of
the Olean Advertiser thus presents to the
editor a remedy for that kind of vermin so
often found in the beds taken by travelers
en steamboats and at hotels, as well as in
private houses. He says;
If any of our readers need a sure remedy
for bed abuga, they can nave mine, ana it
cleans the house ot this troublesome vermin
without expense. They have only to wash
with salt and water,filling the cracks where
tbey frequent with salt, and you may look
in vain for tbem. Salt seems inimical to
bed bugs, and they will not trail through it.
I think it preferable to all ointments, and
the buver requires no certificates to its
genuineness.

McCook's Raid The Rebels In Ken
tucky. Louisville, August 15.
We learn from an .officer of the 2d Indi
ana Cavalry that on the late raid McCook
started out with 1,200 men entirely inde
pendent of StoDeman. He captured and
destroyed 1,160 wagons, over 3,000 males
and horses, vast quartermaster and commis
sary stores; destroyed the railroad and tel
egraph at Palmetto, and both sides of Love
joy's Station; captured 1.000 prisoners, (f
whom 172 were commissioned officers, in
cluding Gen. Ross and roost of hia Tennc
see Brigade. McCook was surrounded near
Newman by Wheeler, Roddy, Jacksou, and
an iu fan try division, losing only about 300,
and failing back gradually.
Passengers arriving a. New Albany, led.,
say that Johnson, with Rebel cavalry, is
threatening Henderson, Ky. Our garrison
there is composed chiefly of negro soldiers,
who are under the protection of our gun
boats, which are ready to shell the town in
case the Rebels succeed in getting in there.

The Privatrer Tallahassee Her
Pboorkss on the Atlantic Coast. Mr.
George Turner, Coast Pilot of Boston, who
brought the French bark Ernst and Charles
to this port this rooming, reports that on the
12th iDt., at 2 P. M Montauk bearing N.
by E. 47 miles distant, saw the pirate Tal
lahassee, who came close aboard and hois
ted the Union flag, but after ascertaining
the nationality of the vessel, lowered the
Federal and hoisted the Confederate flag.
At 3 P. M.f on the same day, saw three
vessels burning. At 10 P. M. saw one of
the largest size ship on fire.
On the 13th inst., the Highlands bearing
N., about 30 miles distant, spoke the Uni
ted States ship Susquehanna cruising, and
gave them all the information in our power,
when she shaped her course in the direction
of the privateer.
Mr. Turner says the steamer is of about
20O tnn burthen, aod carries one ten -inch
gun forward and two aft guns.
Accounts from Bostoti, Providence and
other ports, give arrivals of vessels reporting
themselves and other vessels captured by
the pirate Tallahassee. Several of them
were bonded and some were burned.
The Kcbel Papers.
Richmond papers of August 11 and 12. h,
contain the following items of interest:
Mrs. Dr. Mary E Walker, captured in
Georgia upward of five months ago, has
been" released from Castle Thunder, and
goes down on a flag of trace. She was ex
changed as a surgeon, and has arrived at
Old Point.
The Savannah Republican, in relation to
recent movements in Upper Georgia is joy
ful. We bold our position at Atlanta. To
crown the glory of our victory, the famous
General Stooernan, a pat of the Yankees
has been vanquished. He himself and 500
of his officers and men have arrived at Ma
con. Ttys is glorious news enough for a
campaign.
The sudden appearance of RoJdy at
Newman, and his signal victory over the
Yankees at that point, was as much unex
pected gratifying. H is now in Sher
man's rear with a large and Veteran force,
and we shall hear from him aain. The
prisoners capture! iu tho assault on Peters
burg on the 30th ult, numberl.375, and rep
rese'nt 51 different regiments. 40 white and
11 black.
I J5A Copperhead philosopher suests
that, although few of our generals werebred
to the military business, the business has
been bread to them. From bar-ten.iers,
horse jockeys, policemen, nd confidence
men in our cities, mny of them have risen
upon the skulls of their victims, not from
their skill but from their ignoranca. They
have been a thousand times more s-rvicab!e
to the 'rebels' than to us. Day-Book.
Washington. Aug. 15. The mail-boat
from City Point to-day reports that on Sa
turday afternoon a body of troops embark
ed on transports at City Point, and moved
up the river during the night, and under
cover of the Gra of the gunboats, effected
a landing near Lynch Gip.
The object of the movement is stated to
be the dislodgemont of a coosiderable force
of the enemy, who had intrenched them
selves on the river, and partly also as a re
coonoisance to ascertain what troop Lee
has before Richmond, and if he is seoding
any considerable reinforcements to Eirlv.
Heavy firing was going ou when the Vau
derbilt left, both cannonadin4 and musketry.
Captain Fleming, with sixty men of the
16th New York Cavalry, who was sent on a
scout, was attacked near Fairfax Station 00
Thursday by a body of Moseby's guerrillas.
Captain Fleming and eight men were killed,
and most of the others taken prisoners.
Csptain Fleming's body was fouud near the
road and was taken to Falls Church and
buried.
On Sunday morning several rebel scouts
were seen near Fort Scbreiner, at Annan
dale. They fired upon our pickets in sever
al directions. Sergeant Lennan, of the 16th
New York Cavalry, who was on picket on
the Braddock Road, was killed. Our scout a
are on the alert in the bills and valleys, and
through the deuse wood?, but are unable to
catch these picket-shooting assassins and
marauding highwaymen.
Cairo, August 15. About 500 Rebel
cavalry, under Colonel Johnson, crossed the
Ohio river into Illinois, at Saline bar, Satur
day. The steamer Kate Robinson, Jennie
Perkins, Nightingale, Fannie Brandies and
Clara Hall, aground at that place, were cap
tured with a large amount of stock aboard.
The captains of the boats were compelled
to pay several thousand dollars each, to save
them from destruction.
The story is not true that Mr. Lincoln
has declared himself ready to enter into an
enzaement'with a negro ministrel band in
ease of his defeat at the next Presidential
election.
What has become of the 300 wagons which
the Abolition army took from the retreating
raiders? The government telegraphed tnat
the 'rebels' had been overtaken, whipped,
and divested of 300 wasons, loaded with
the booty gathered in Maryland. Now. it
is found out that not only was there not a
word of truth in the government telegragh,
but that our own forces who had been sent
after the 'rebels' were whipped with terrible
slaughter. What did tht e i i tor mean who
said that Lincoln's administration had not
proved itself great in a single thing? If it
has not proved itself too great in lying, then
it is not in the power of the devil himself
to acbisve ume in that direction. Day

Horrible Cruelty to Negro.
It is only those who thoroughly under
stand the negro character, physical and
mental, who really know what is cruelty to
a negro. The following shows how Massa
chusetts officers treat negroes in Louisiana.
The Exprtus copies from a city paper an
account of t he treatment of a negro by Lt
Oilman, of the Fifth Massachusetts Cavalry .
It appears that he had the poor fellow tied
to a pole by his two thumbs, his legs vainly
endeavoring to touch the ground. The
scene is described as follows, by an ee wit
ness:
"The new sea-grass twine cleaved to his
thumbs, pressing them like a vice, cutting
with razor sharpness. The pain becoming
excruciating, he struggled vainly to release
himself; bis mouth became opened; his eye
balls were almost forced from their sockets
by the great agony he suffered. He felt as
if he could live but a few moments longer.
A horrible pain it was, for his own leaden
weight seemed to be a 'ainst bis bavins any
relief, lis could 00 longer support him
self, and falling unconscious to the groucd,
HI LEFT HIS FLESH CLEAVING TO THE NEW
8EA-QBASS TWINE!"
The cause of this infliction of the above
cruelty was, that the negro hid himself, and
couid not be found when wanted to go on
duty. Now this is, perhaps, the most com
mon vice, or rather weakness, of negroes.
A little harmless whipping a few smart
lashes would have cured the negro of the
habit, aod not harmed him in the least.
The crazy fanatics of New England would
raise a howl of horror over this harmless
punishment of a lazy negro, and yet com
mit upou him atrocities which it fairly
makes the blood run cold to read. West
chester (Pa.) Jeffersonian.
It has appeared in evidence, that Mr.
Chase allowed every Republican member
of Congress the privilege of bringing a wo
man to Washington to be placed in some
sort of employment in his department.

of our readers:
Lexinotjn, Kt., July 24, 1864.
I. It is known that many slaves in Ken
tucky have left their owners without inten
ding to enter the service of the United
S'ates, and that they have resorted to the
towns, or roving about the country. In all
such cases it is only necessary for the owu
ers of such refugees to report to the Provost
Marshal, and make known their wish for
their slaves to be placed in the service, and
it will be the duty of the Provost Marshals
to arrest such relugees and deliver them for
enlistment. The commander of the Dis
trict of Kentucky will give such further di
rections as may be Becessary to carry out
the provisions of this order.
11. Information has been received that
persons are in the habit of cornioz into
Kentucky with a view of persuading slaves
to run away and pass into the free States
bordering on the Ohio, where tbey are en
listed lor their bounties tne negroes re
ceiving but a small portion thereof. In such
cases the otate ot Kentucky tails to receive
credit on their quota of troops. The mill'
tary authorities, as well as all Provost Mar
shils, in the State are ordared, and the navy
00 the Ohio river are requested to take pos
session of all such negroes and deliver them
to the nearest military commander, in order
that they may be enlisted in Kentucky reg

Seldom has it been so truly illustrated that
"Death loves a shinin? mark" as in the D resent
instance. Cut down at the very threshold of
manhood, his friends nave consigned him to the
silent tomb, to await the resurrection morn.
After years of earnest and faithful study, he felt
himself nearly prepared to enter upon his great
life-work the preaching of the Gospel, the
noblest woik God has commit ted toman. Only
another brief term of study intervened and his
friends were biddiag him God-speed in his noble
mission ,w hen ho was arrested by the messenger,
Death, and like a true follower of his master he
was prepared to obey.
Ever genial and kind, he was earnestly wel
comed to every social circle, ana no endeared
himself to the hearts of all with whom he came
in contact. Endowed with a high order of in
tcllect. be was training and educating it for the
good of his fellow men. But in all his social in
tercourse and intellectual discipline he forgot
net to educate his moral nature. A constant at
tendant upon the ministrations of the Gospel, he
drank in doep draughts of divine knowledge,
which Jed him to live so eminently a moral and
christian life. Hut while we have losta beloved

border the golden pavements of the celestial land
