Jesus the FOrerunner

"Whcther the forerunner is for us en-.
tered, even Jesus, made an high.priest for
ever, after the order Of Melchizedek."-
HEBREWS vi. 20.
JESUS, who came from heaven to earth
out Of pure love to us, in order to die for
our sins and procure our salvation, is gone
back to heaven as our forerunncr. He
not only points out the way, but he travels
every step of it himself. lie has removed
every insurmountablc difficulty out of the
way, and left his own holy footprints to
be our guide. Can we complain, if we on
ly travel the path which Jesus has trodden
before Us He has entered into heaven
for US, and when he entered he left the
door wide open, that we might follow him
in. He points US to the path he has trod.
den, and says, "Sce, the way is practica-
ble." He calls our attention te his pres
ent glorious residence, and says, "Wherc
I am, there shall ye be also" Precious
Saviour glorious Forerunner Oh, give
us grace to follow thee; and whenever
tempted to relax our efforts, or loiter on
our journey, or complain of the way, may
we remember that thou hast travelled ev.
cry step of the way before US, and art now
waiting TO welcome US into thy presence
and glory. Jesus is gone before to an
nounce our arrival, He speaks of US as
on the road. He obtains for us the bles-
sings we need He sends us all the sup.
plies necessary. CHRIST ALONE could
shew such love, manifest such kindness, or
exhibit snch care. My soul keep thine
eye fixed on thy glorious Forerunner, and
run the race set before thee, looking unto
Jesus. Amidst all thy tolls, think of the
rest; under all the conflicts think of the
triumph; and when tempted to turn aside,
look for the footprints of Jcsus-thoy may
be seen all along the road Holy Spirit,
help us to think morr of Jesus, to confde
more in Jesus, and to expect more from
Jesus

priest that is passed into the heaven, Jo-
sus the Son of God, let US hold fast our

COLUMBIA COUNTY. PENNA SATURDAY, AUGUST 23 1862

lay scattered around with all imaginable
wounds in limbs, body, head and face
Some quiet as death, perhaps dead others
cursing horribly, and others bearing their
sufferings like heroes. Sunday evening l
rode over part of the battle-ground. On
the ground where the encmy's battery had
been placed the night before, lay thirteen
dead horses, three men, two Of them being
officers, pieces of harness, cut traces, and
fragments of clothing. One of the officers
had his head shot completely off, and it
was nowhere to be seen, and the other was
shot in the breast, and his face was SO be-
grimed with powder as to be unrecogniza-
Bile. Further along in the woods were
dead men, horses, ruins of wagons, etc.
The enemy at the foot of the mountain
prevented US from inspecting further.
Yesterday (Monday) we were engaged
in burrying our dead and taking care of
the wounded. Our total loss is about 1900.
Gen. Geary and Col Knpc, 4Gth Pa,
and many other distinguished officers have
been wounded Crawford's Brigade lost
the most, as it was not supported till late
in the afternoon / can make no estimate
Of the encmy's loss. Prisoners say that
after we silcnced their battery the Brigade
supporting it fell back in confusion, and
the Battery was left on the field till near
daylight. The rebels have been reinforced,
and now have with them Generals Hill,
Ewell and Longstreet. We have been
reinforced by Generals Sigel, King and

VOLUME 26.
Grand Promotion.

An important honor has been thrust up.
on Justices of the Peace and Postma.tcrs
during the past week. The proclamation
makers at Washington have issued an Or
der from the War Department, tran Storm
ing all such officers into Provost Mar
shalls, for the purpose of arresting and
returning fugitive officers and soldiers, for
which fee Of five dollars and expenses
are offered, as a reward fer the return Of
every such officer and soldier 10 the near
est military post. We do not exactly un-
derstand how this ca post (actO movements
has been inaugnratod.
No such powers or duties having been
contemplated when those officers we're
elected, or appointed, and both having been
denied the authority to arrest black fugi-
tives, we cannot see how they can be COM
peled to spend their time in arresting Uhite
fugitves, without due provisions made.
We are not aware that Congress has ap-
propriated any money to pay such off GERS,
and therefore do rot know how they can
obtain pay for such services, unless it is
contained in the appropriation of $780,
600 for the secret SerUice fo,nd
1t may be that this is another chapter
in the programme of the "Irrepressible
Conflict" to advance US still further on
the road to dcspotism. 1t seems also to be
another attempt to ''mix up" the Nation
al and State authorities, and eventually to
ignore States Rights altogether, AMI COM
pelling the municipal officers of the State to
assume duties devolving upon the General
Government.
The policy of such intermeddling we do
not understand. However, we have no
doubt that some of our 'Sgtires will con-
slider themselves highly honored in being
trantmografcd into Provost Marsoal,
after which they are entitled to have, as
servants, Lieutenant, clerk, and an cxe-
cutioner-all which luay become indispen-
sable, if the Napoleonic system is contiu-
ued.

pa" IRRESPONSIBLE these days Of
political profigacy and corruption, all
true Democrats and conservative men have
to encounter the vilest personal abuse, and
hence the AboitioniSts have adopted the
plan of calling every such man a"Seccs-
sionist' If an individual prefers an hon
orabe peace to war and bloodshed, he is
called Sccessionist. If he is opposed to
placing the negro on an equality with the
white man, he is called Secessionst. If
he points to the robbery of millions upon
millions from the public treasury, he is
called a Secessionist. If he expresses him
self in favor of the war being prosecuted
to restore tho Union as it was and the
Constitution as it is, he is called Scces.
sionist. In short, let him do or say what
he may, and no matter how loyal he is to
the country, unless he swears featly to the
Abolition Republican party, and follows in
the footsteps Of Thaddeus Stevens, Simon
Cameron, Wendell Phillips, Owen Love
JOY, old Ben Wade, Joshua r. Giddings
etc., he is called Secessonist and threat
cned with mob law and Imprisonment.

Army Correspondence
NEAR SLAUGnTER's HILL, VAy !

August u, 1862.
Editor Columbia Democrat,
DEAR SIR:-On Tuesday, August 5th
Gen Ricketts, Division moved towards
Culpcpper 1t was an intensely hot day
80 much SO that many men and horses
gave out from fatigue. Such clouds OF
dust we're raised by our Artillery that
respiration and sight were equally difficult,
The second days march brought US to
Cu!peIpcr G. II.
On Friday, the sth, rumors Of Jacksons
advance across the Rapidan reached us,
and in the afternoon our Division passed
beyond Culpepper, and Crawfords Bri.
gade took the advance. We halted for
the Light one mile this side. The next
day, Saturday, about noon, we made pre-
parations either to advance Immediately or
to fight on our own ground. Some sight
cannonading was going on in front. At4
iu the afternoon, our Division was ordered
forward, and the fight became general
1t was a perfect roar of Artillery, while
ever and anon we could catch the rattle of
mu.kctry On getting nearer we saw the
wounded scattered along the road, those
able to speak representing our position as
desperate in the extreme. However many
more sound men than wounded passed to
the rear. About dark the firing mostly
ceased, and the troops which had been en-
gagged icll back to the rear, while we
marched silently, to the trout. While ly-
ing close to piece of woods waiting to be
placed in position, the enemy again opened
on us. a surgeon rode up hastily and
told us the rebels were moving up large
forces of infantry-that bis wounded had
been captured and that our Division
would have to repcl the enemy alone, as
the others had expended their ammunition.
lie was evidently Scned But such news
and the eusmys fire had the effect of caus-
ing disgraceful stampede of ambulances,
battery wagons, forges and of many of
the troops engaged in the days action
Although the rebels fired uncomiortably
close, they did not damage us. Our line
was then formed, and the artillery and
infantry put in appropriate Positions
Scarcely had we attained them, when the
enemy brought battery out of the woods
and opened terrible fire on our force,
Thompson and Halls batteries immedi-
atcly got into operation at distance OF
only 300 yards, aud for time the scene
was terrible, though animated. We soon
silenced them, and uncertain quiet again
resumed its sway, We could see the
lights of the enemy, hear the rumbling
of their artillery, but of their movements
knew nothing. 1t was a night of terrible
suspense.
About o'clock in the morning the
forces on the right fell back, and took up
new position, Daylight showed us mum
bers of the enemy on the mountain to the
front, but our force was not large enough
to warrant US in attacking them in SO strong
a position.
A visit to our imprompu hospitals re-
yealcd all the horrors of war. Some 60C

Sad News for the Fremonters.

We see it stated in the city papers, that
GA deputation of Western gentlemen
waited upon the President on Monday to
offer two colored regiments from the State
of Indiana. Two members Of Congress
were of the party The President re-
ceivcd them courtoously, but stated to them
that he was not prepared to 60 the length
of eplisting negroes as soldiers, He would
employ all colorcd men offered as labor
ers, but would not promise to make SOL
diers of them. The deputation went
away, satisfied that it is the determination
of the Government not to arm negroes un-
less some new and more pressing emcr-
gency arises. The President argued that
the nation could not afford to lose Ken.

opinion that, to arm the negroes would

for u.s.
Ii the President has made this decision,
he has certainly acted wisely, and, if he
openly avows it, and adheros to it, uncom.
promisingly, in all the future of the war,
it will be one Of the best of his Union
movements. But it is sad news for the
Fremontcrs, and the leaders of that stripe,
hereabouts, are already gnashing their
teeth in rage about it. President Lincoln,
Seward, HaIleck, Nee elan, and all who
are supposed to favor it, are freely de.

little satellites proclaim, along our streets
! that "the Administration is rotten to the
core" "Seward is knave and coward i,
Haleck and Mcclellan are "diggers and
ditchers, not Generals" Sc, &c. What
patriots! And a Democrat, if he says he
prefers the white man to the niger, and
refuses to vote the Abolition "Union'
ticket, is By such patriots called "a traitor,
