and Vallandigham ' men generally.
For instance :

North' who. are. their! allies. .They
condemn and despise -hem. " Read
their proclamations, addresses, army
orders and newspapers. At no time
have they ever spoken of their North
ern friends except as allies in the
war! They deride the foolish ap
peals . of their ..Northern allies for
peace and compromise, and preclude
all hope of the Union on any terms,
"What incalculable mischief is be-
ingdo.ne by these Northern allies

not of any hope of restoring the Un

full recognition that this fiendish re
bellion was right, and that it was
well to destroy the government.

HARPER'S FERRY—JEFFERSON.
Standing at Harper's Ferry, amid
its uiaguificent scenery, one joins
with Jefferson in exclaiming : 'It is
worth a voyage across the Atlantic to
see." Bolivar, Marylard, and Lon
don Heights vie-with each other in
sublime exhibitions. On. the latter,
Jefferson made his "Notes," and on a
rrand rock that still bears his "name,
he reflected upon the . crime and con
sequences of slavery and indited : the
memorable sentence : "I tremble for
my country when I reflect that God
is just." FoT.ty years passed, and
this town was a 'si'neking 'ruit, and
these rock-ribbed mountains , trem
bled with the shock of battle in the
last, bloody conflict between liberty
and slavery between barbarism and
true christian civilization.. ' The
slave has became -a citizen, armed
with the ballot. Time is God's in
flexible arericv, and will bring all
things right. . ,
The Government Armory, establish.
cd here by Washington in 1704, was
destroyed during the war, and tho
great bridge was demoiisiieu nine
times. The town was nearly
ruiued, and there arc ' now but
1,000 people, to 3,000 before the - re
bellion, The Engine Ucuso, where
John Brown fought Lee and was
wounded by Green, escaped, and is the
only public buildinir standing. This
is curious and suggests a speculation.

year 10,000 people will cast in a quar

Sheridan made an assault in front
with infantry, whilst he gained the

"SHERIDAN'S RIDE."
Passing Xewtown and Middletown
we reach Cedar Creek where Earley
surprised and routed Sheridan's
army, then under Wright, October
19, 1SG4. In a very short tima our
whole army was routed, scattered
and broken like a mob. Camp, artil
lery, and stores all captured, and the
rebels dnying tho fugitives in wild
confusion back towards -Winchester.
But Sheridan heard the thunder of
guns, and met his retreating lorces,
with courage in his looks, and inspi
ration in his words. They halted, and
following "Little Phil," sprang upon
their pursuers with the fury of tigers,
and Y right closed upon a rebel army,
whipped, captured and entirely de
stroyed, its commapder barely escap
ing with his officers. This stamped
Sheridan a3 the great fighting field
marshal of the age, a reputation mag
nificently sustained soon after, when
Lee's rebel army crumbled before
his fiery blows- The old church on
the right, and scarred and battered
trees on every part ot the field, still
indicate the points of the groatest
conflict. Fassms: througu Btrasburg,
six miles from Cedar Creek, we halt
before Fisher's bill, made famous by
the -
' .'ASSAULT OF SnEUlDAN,
September 22. 1SG4. He had been
off watching the ncmy, and return
ing to his troops at dark, found them
in. camp and cooking sapper, lie
called to arm, and ordered up the
artillery, opening the fight . at once,
vowing ho would not sleep until nis
flair waved on the hill-top. lie was
wild with the excitement of; .bittle,
and the troops caught his inspiration,
and charging up the cliffs with a furious
shout, they.swept it amid a sea of fire,
and darkness then only saved Early
from the doom that befell him
month latter at Cedar Creek.
But the valley is a vast battle field,
and in every direction the hill top
still shows its abandoned forts and
field-works.
,
. ; "STONEWALL" JACKSON
was a confessed hero, and one of the
most remarkable men developed by
tho war. "lie has impressed the rec
ollection of his deeds on everybody
and everything- in this alley. In
1862, ' he out-generaled Fremont,
Banks, Schenck, Seigcl. Blenker, Mil
roy, McDowell and Shields, winning
an occasional victory, and keeping all
bewildered by his brilliant maneuver
ing. At : last, 60,000 men intended
to aid MeClcllan were sent to capture
Jackson, when all at once he dropped
down like an apparition on the flank
and rear of the "Young Napoleon,"
and doubled up the right wing and
rolled him back in defeat. This was
the grandest movement made during
the war, and - stopped the "on to
Richmond" business in short order.
"A ;most interesting" book might be
written upon the Valley of Virginia,
its battles and campaigns. It is sur
prising that no one has attempted it.
A true and just account-would be
equally acceptable, North and South.
It might dim the lustre of some of
our military stars. - This Valley was
easy not difficult to occupy and
held.' Our repeated disasters were
from lack of skill and energy.
Sherman, Thomas or Sheridan, with
20,000 men, would have held it
against tho Confederacy, after Feb
ruary, 1KG2. Tho rehola committed
great blunders, or we would have suf
fered more. . . . .
THE COUNTRY.
But as to the country, it is of lime
stone, formation, and the soil is good.
Bad farming, io places, had almost
ruined the land, and the curse of
slave labor was blisrhtins its fertile
plains and valleys. Emigrants have i
come in from the North, ' and the
waste of war is almost repaired. They
are gathering the greatest crop of
wheat cut since lboO, and four times
the land is cultivated that was before
the war. Mills are being re-built
aud Northern labor, skill and money
are beginning to be felt and recog
nized. , Many farms, though zcultiva
are unfenccd. Crops of all kinds
are encouraging, ana business srives
evidence of returning prosperity
The negro is doing well, and appears
happy. Old merchants say the liber
ation of the slave has made him a
cousumer, and trade has been thereby
increased one-third. The freedman
is generally ambitious, and tries to
cl6the and school his family. Some
are idle'and worthless, just as among
other races. He voted quietly, and
not. a disturbance marked' the late
election.' There is soma crime, but
good 'order abounds. Whites ' who
never1 worked before are now in the
fields. Some old fogies, though,
claim all was lost .when the slave was
liberated and given the ballot. They
sold their farms in IS65, at 57 to $40
per acre,' and moved to the town3 to
drink whisky and die. These farms
arc now higher than farms in Seneca
countv. Many have divided and sold
parts of their plantations, wise, res
olute men, full of hope and con
fidence as to the future. . They have
confidence in Grant, and fear the ne
gro less than do the Ohio Democracy.
incy sny he is naturally Conserva

Terrible Railroad Accident, or
Murder.
2s ew York, July 15. A dis
patch to the Democrat, from Mid
dletown, in this State, states that
the night expre33 train on the
Erie Railroad from this city, last
night, ran into a freight train which
had been left partially on the track,
instead of a side track, about thirty
mile3 from Carr's Rock.
The engine, tender, baggage car,
express car, smoking car, one pas
senger car, and a sleeping car, were
thrown off the track and smashed
oat of all shape. The splintered
cars and fragments of timber came
into contact with, the scattered fire
from the locomotive, and a confla
gration ensued," in which timbers, '
baggage and wounded passengers
all went to feed the flames. Seven
cars were destroyed, and six pas
sengers burned to death two of
the passengers from New York, ;
one supposed to be Rev. Benjamin '
Halleck.
Later accounts of the disaster on
the Erie road state that Rev. Mr. '
Halleck was not hurt by the col-1
lision, but waj jammed in by the i
broken timbers and was slowly burn- j
ed to death. j
A passenger states that the j
freight train, which should have
waited on a side track on the left of j
the road, this side of the station, !
had started on before the arrival of
the express train. The engine of
the former had not reached the main
track when it was struck by the loco
motive of the express train, which
was running at the rate of forty
miles an hour. Ihe engine of the
frAirrrit train wia ntnnrlinrr rin fmcr
so hrmly hxed that it was not mis
placed. The engine of the express train
struck the station house, to which
it set fire, and then turned around
and went off the track, and was left
headed east. The tender went to
the right and headed east; The
express car went down the hill to
ward the river. The first passenger
car was telescoped into the baggage
car. The whole train wa3 burned,
except the three rear sleepin cars.
Only a dozen pieces of baggage were
saved.
The freight train stoad locked
into a passenger car. After a vain
effort to put out the flames with wa
ter carried from the river, the pas
sengers moved the freight cars east.
Two car3 were moved at a time.
Many of them were loaded with oil.
At 6 o'clock this morning nine
dead bodies were counted. Some
distressing scenes of suffering oc
curred, and there were some remark
able escapes. The engineer of the
express train stood bravely to his
post, and turned over several times
with his engine, but fortunately
escaped without miury.
Key. Mr. Halleck told his bro
her-in-law ho was not hurt at all,
but wa3 wedged in. IIi3 fellow
passengers used every effort to save
him, but he died a slow, asonizinc
death, in the presence of sympathiz
ing friends, who were unable to
help him.
A young German said his father
was burned. When the ruins of the
snioking car were removed, he re
cognized the remains of his father
by a watch and some coins.
Ihe fault of the disaster 13 attn
buted to the nnneer of the freight
train, who started out knowing that
it was his duty to wait for the pas
sage of the train he came in col
lision with.
