THE RETURNED VOLUNTEERS.

1t was with surprise and modification that
we met the volunteers from this county, on
Friday Of last week, on their return from camp
McAllen, near Chambersbprg, where they had
been encamped for the past month. II was.
with regret that our citizens witnessed their re-
turn by broken squads, their clothing tattered
and torn, but their hardy sun-bnIned counte-
nances radiant with health. These men have
been outrageously treated by tie authorities of
the State,or at least bythose,who,professed TO act
by authority OF the Governor. They were re-
crulted for three months, and were positively
assured that the regiment 10 which they were
TO be attached on arriving at Chambersburg,
was already accepted by the Governor for three
months serutce, Internationally. They were
told that they need not take supply of cloth
ing along with them, but that they would be-
uniformed, armed and equipped in few days,
hence most of the men took with them the worst
clothing they tad, and in few days they de-
served 20 be called the dragged Militia" OF
course, 10 this matter like the treatment of our
organized regiments, ssnobody's to blame !" 1t.
was only siigM mistake, as some would have
us believe, on the part OF the Govegnor! A
slight mistake, indeed Do you hear of such
blunders in other States No, 1t was caused
by the ignorance and neglect of these having
charge Of the matter, and we do not wonder
that the soldiers became disgusted and out of
heart, and that they determined to march home.
The Governor, doubtless, is principally to blame,
bu. there are parties nearer home who will be
held responsible.
! The companies from this county were Just
one month IN camp, and after being called there
by what purported to be an order from the Gov
ernor OF the State, they are very coolly told
that unless they enlist for three years they viii
get no pay for the time already lost. Is such
treatment rlghtl

the tin norm as signal for US to dow II with
the TIM but we wouldn't. Several tunes
were then performed upon the tamborine
and fiddle, within the box, in execrable
style, and without any regard for time or
harmony. Among these were Fishers
Hornpipe, 'Paddy's Wake The Devils
Dream, yankee DOODLE The music f.
nally ceased a rustling, caused probably
by the departure of the spirits, followed for
few minutes, when dead silence reigned,
and the doors were opened.
The brothers were tied as before. Exss
carnations of wonder and admiration es-
capped the lips of several in the AUDIENCE
Three-tenths of those in attendance believed
that the boys had not been free from their
bonds, and that the music had been produc-
ed by spirits. There were some there, how
ever, who believed it to be simply q trick
a sort of slight-of-hand, by which the hands
were slipped from the cords, which. of
course, would leave nothing unexplained
These men had seen the great wizards of the
day, Blitz, Anderson Jacobs and others,
many of whose feats of deception were more
wonderful and defed competition equally
with the Davenport spiritual humbug. They
determined to come again and submit the
media to few tests.

lows disclaim all connection with the music.
They say they do not touch the instru-
ments, and that, in fact, the instruments
are not touched during the performance of
the music.
Two tests were resolved upon. a pair of
handouts were borrowed and taken to the
room. The media positively refused to be
hapdcufed. They would be tied with cords,
and remained bound during the perform
ance of the spirits, but they would not be
handcuffed. Doubtless the spirit of some
convicted felon might take umbrage at the
Introduction of ofhandcuffs
Finding that they would not submit to
this test, another was secretly applied. The
fiddle bows was dexterously creased acith
hogs 5ard The media was tried, the doors
closed, the performance of the dirty hand,
and the battered tin horn gone through
with, and the music was next in order.
Silence all The tamborine struck in-the
fiddle did;a't. The .tfddLe ac0uydn t. The fact
is, the fiddle couldn't! The strings of a
fiddle were never yet known to respond to
a creased bow in human hands, and in this
Instance it couldn't even in spiritual hands.
Great is humbug, aud great are her vO-
taries.
A half-smothered oath inside the box was
followed by wicked laugh outside. The
performance was at an end

Spirit-Fiddltng

Some days ago we published an item in
regard to the detection of couple of travel
ing spiritual mediums styling themselves
the Davenport brothers-in Chicago The
Times of that city gives the following anu
sing account of how things were done:
Well, they seated themselves in the box
and were tied hand and foot The doors
were closed, and Immediately a series of
laundering kicks and scratchings, as though
Pandemonium had been emptied into that
box, began. In few minutes a dirty hand
appeared at the aperture, 1t was gone in
stantly. The noisy spirits within the box
subsidized, and the tin horn was hurled
through the said aperture, falling with a
horrible din upon the floor We knew that
was a hint for us, but we dii Mt take. The
fact is, we had dead-headed uurselves past
the doorkeeper, and the parsimonious spirit
within the box knew it, so he hurled out

When the war between the North and South

Shall fully realize the awful dsproporton between
tne TWO sides of the account, they will then begin
