ULYSSES ACADEMY.

Mr. E bIToR The above Institution,
as your kaders are we'll aware, is situated
in one of the most inviting localities in
this portion of the State. As one stands
upon the emiaence upon which the Acad.
emy is 81 tuated, he sees the village in its
quietness lying at his feet, while around
it hills gently rise until the grand, old
forest sh hts 10 the scene, as if to guard
1t from the storms and tumults of the
outer woF rid. 1t is within such seques.
tered 81 Hot that the Ulysses Academy
opens ids portals to those who long to
quaff rel Feshing draughts from the peren.
NAL fou1 1tains of knowledge. Here the
disciples of Minerva may listen to her
teaching S, ard while they listen feel their
souls en- kindle with high and noble pur.
poses an d heaven-born aspirations.
The present term of this Institution
has been one of unusual prosperity and
it has suffered less from the pressure of
the"tim es" than its most sanguine friends
could b ave expected. This success is
douhtle$s IS attributable to the ability with
which II has been conducted.
The Literary Society connected with
the lns titution held public session in
the Cha pei on Friday evening last. The
exercise of the evening were of highly
interest ing character. The pieces rehers
ed were so happily varied that the atten-
ton of he audience was retained until a
late ho4 4r. We might notice number Of
the stua aents individually who were espe.
cially d eserving commentator for their
finished productions and natural delivery
BUT we forbear The musical part of the
exercisf Is was of high order, especially
the ant hem, "See what manner of love" "
which vas sung as the opening piece OF
the eve ming; also solo There's good
time cd ming" and one or two quartettes
called for the general applause. We
would commend this Institution to the
attenti5 5n of all who are interested in the
cause of education, as it affords the youth
of this county the facilities for the acquire.

The Harper,s Ferry Loss.

The surrender of Harper's Ferry In
September, involved the loss of 1000
Union Soldiers, equal to our gains ct
Fort Donelson, and also of vast amounts
of the very arms and ammunition with
which the Rebels helped slay our men at
Antietam More than that--it gave the
Rebels the best open gate way from the
trap in which they had got themselves by
their invasion of Maryland. To every
respect, than, it was the worst, most con-
temptible, and most ruinous disaster, to
US, of the whole War. The Government
so regarded it, and accordingly appointed
a Commission of eminent military men, of
both parties, to investigate the whole af-
fair. This Court Of Inquiry was com.
posed as follows:
Maj.-Gen. D. Hunter, U. S. A. of
Vols, President.
Maj.-Gen. Geo. Cadwallader, U. 9. A.
of Vols.

TREASON THREE STORIES HIGH.--
Wherever you fnd rabid Breckinridger
or traitor DIT heart, you can most likely
trace his origin to tories of Revolutionary
times.
In 1777 Jared Ingersoll, was arrested
as one vii o was opposed to the liberties
Of America, and was afterwards rewarded
by the Brl tish for his treachery.
In latef years, Charles. j. Ingersoll,
son of the above, over his own name, in
a newspaHe of the day, said, that if he
had lived in the time of the revolution !;
he aooltld taUe been q tory.
Charles Ingersoll, the grandson
Chairman of the Democratic jubilee in
Philadelp hia last week, said in his speech:

The Louisville Journal says: All the
rebel officers, civil and military, make
Confederate script just as they happen to
want it. John Morgan manufactured
fifty thousand dollars of the shinplasters
at Lexington in single day, and circu-
lated it among the people, and we under
stand the form upon which he printed a
large batch at Danv;lle is still standing
at the Tribune Office in that town.
What a beautiful currency our rebels
would give US
The 10Th District, (Luzerue and Sus-
quehanna,) sent about 5000 volunteers
to the army, aud yet the Democrats polled
at the late election LIT votes more than
at the Presidential election in 1860, and
the Republicans 2,057 less This ac-
counts for Grows defeat, and is another
proof that the men who vote the butter
nut ticket are not the men who fight for
their county.

JOHN Brown AND JEFF. DAVIS
John Brown Invaded the State of Vir-
ginia with a small band of armed men,
was arrested, imprisoned, tried, CON.
demned and executed, aud all the people
said amen. Jefferson Davis made war
upon the national government, and has
slain thousands of its loyal citizens, and
has carried war and rapine over vast re-.
gion of country, and those who rejoiced
in the execution of John Brown apologize
for the rebellion of Jefferson Davis, upon
the principle that the murder of a
few makes villain, and the murder of
many hero, who instead of hemp should
be treated with propositions of peace.

on the morning of Sept. 13. The 126th
New York Closing their ColoneD broke
and fed, and the breastwork on the hill
was lost. Col. Miles was on Maryland
Heights that evening for some hours con-
sultiug with Col Ford He left between
IL and IL o'clock, without directly order
ing Col. Ford to evacuate the Hights, but
with instructions to spike his guns if CON-
PEELED to abandon About 2 O'Clock, Col.
Ford abandoned the Hights. The enemy
did not occupy them, and the next day
Col. D'Utassy sent over four companies,
who brought away four guns and wag-
on-load of ammunition.
After the evacuation of Maryland
Heights, Col. Miles sent word to Gen,
NJ 'Clelan, then at Frederick City, that
unless reinforced, he could not hold out
4S hours. Gen. Mcclellan thereupon dis
patched messenger to Gen. Franklin,
who was engaged with the enemy at
Crampton's Gap, wholly unable to give
the needed assistance, or to give it in
time Gen. Mcclellan appears to have
made no other effort to relieve the be-
leagured stronghold.
The enemy attacked Harper's Ferry
itself on the morning of the 18th, and at
s, A. NJ, the surrender was agreed on,
COL Miles representing to the brigade
commanders whom he consulted that his
ammunition was nearly exhausted, and
they concurring in decision to surrender.
The Commission acqult Gen. White,
Col D'Utassy, and Col. Trimbls of all
blame for the surrender, and praise the
capacity and courage of the former
They find that Col. Ford was given, by
Col. Miles. discretionary power to aban-
don Maryland Heights, but that the ex-
ercse of this discretion was premature
that he conducted the defence with no
ability, and that his exhibition of lack of
capacity was such as to disqualify him for
command,
Col. Miles is convicted Of incapacity
and criminal neglect especially, in neg
lscting to fortify and hold Maryland
Heights, the key of the position, and the
evidence stated in the report concerning
his communications with the Rebels is
such as to raise strong suspicious of
treachery also.
Gen. Wool is gravely censured for
keeping so incapable an officer as Col.
Miles in command.
Concerning Gen. Mcclellan the evi.
dence adduced in the report, and the
opinion expressed by the Commission, are
most direct and damaging. The General
in.Chlef testifes that Gen. Mcclellan, af-
ter receiving orders to drive the enemy
from Maryland, marched on an average
of only six miles day in pursuit, and
that in his opinion, he both could and
should have relieved and protected Har-
per's Ferry; and in this opinion she Com
mission fully concur.
There will be no complaint, against this
report, of whitewashing. Its array Of
facts, and its logical conclusions upon
them, are impregnable. The country will
gratefully recognized the courage and just
severity with which the Commission, while
awarding due censure to inferior officers,
has declared that the shame of the sur
render of Harper's Ferry rest chiefly on
Gen. Mcclellan. For, if he had moved
with decent swiftness, he would have
raised the siege, or would have taken the
enemy in detail, with the Potomac divid-
ing his forces.

pGrIt is q singular, but not unnatural
fact, that every county that was tory in
