country had under Democratic admins.
trations.
Nor need we stop here with the para
lei. Jefferson, now acknowledged 70 be
the great and the good, in his day was de-
nounced by the opposition, and his party
just as bitterly as the Democratic party is
now denounced. lie was called an inf

ors; and the pulpit, filed with political
priests then as now, made opposition to the
Democratic party an article of Christian
faith, and cnveighod long and loud in
prayers and prcachings against the party
that was rushing the country on TO destruc-
ton. The anathemas of Heaven were
thundored at those who differed in political
faith from the standard set up by those
wolves in sleeps clothing; so now all
who will not blindly fall down and shout
"aboition abolition " are denounced
by the same class of men who called jeff.
erson q Bblc.burner, as secessionists, trail
tors and every other epithet that parlizan
malignity can invent; but the sober sense
of the people finally triumphed, just as it
is returning now and just as it is bound to
triumph in time to come.
We thank the Gazette for its candid ad.
mission, and we think that that very pa
per will see, after a little cool reflection,
that the same political elements exist in
the country now as in the days of Jeffer-
son, and that if the great apostle of Domoc-
racy were alive to day and leading his
party, he would be denounced now as he
was in his life time.

named from the legend of a beautiful
squaw having met an untimely death upon
the banks of that quiet stream.
Nantiooke and Lackawanna are most
certainly Indian, and 1 am informed by a
Welshman that the roots of both words
arc certainly Welsh. He explains them
to have reference to streams of water, in
his own language, and their pcculiarites
answer exactly to those Of the streams
which they designate. 1t is impossible to
say if the meaning of the words in both
languages is the same but it is a little re-
marka BILE, if the Welshman was not quiz.
zing me, that in both, the words should
have reference to water, rather than
woods, fields or mountains.
Such is skeleton of history of the
forks of the Susquehanna, history that
has been attempted in detached pieces by
several writers, but without in single
instance making such book as
the facts and materials would warrant.-
That history yet remains to be written.-
When done, may it be done wisely and

attempt at instructing or enrolling the
negroes as ridiculous failure. The pure
Congou breed there rejects all humarizing
approach, and is lazy, inert and repulsivo.

This day the rebels were whipped badly.

This day the rebels we're whipped badly.
Monday, J,u,e 2.-As l am about wore
out with fatigue, of the last two days and
nights, that l did not 60 out with the Reg.
iment There is hard fighting on the
right Of us. While L write the cannons
arc booming and it is roaring like thun-
der, Prof Lowe is up in his balloon now,
looking at the movement. There were
thirteen of the Richmond Home Guards
brought in. They left there yesterday.
All praise is due to one of our gallcnt men
for capturing one of the Richmond omni.
buses. They came out with one white
man and a negro driver. There was only
one of our men in the field at the time he
ordered the man on the buss to surrender,
the man refused, our shot him, loaded the
vehicle with our dead and brought them
in, 1t is a good buss, Of the latest and
most fashionable style, and as good horses
as you would wish to drive.
We are now burying our dead and
and sending the wounded to Philadelphia.
We had two wounded in our Company,
one will prove fatal, the other will have
his right leg amputated' On Saturday
the rebels showed the white flag, and soon
after fired in on our men again. The
cars arc now running on the Richmond 4
York River Rail Road. The rebels tell
us that they are near starving, and that
the whole North cannot get into Richmond.
They also tell US that Davis had the field
yesterday. The loss of Saturday and
Sunday, on our side, was between six and
eight hundred killed, and one thousand
wounded. On the enemy's side from ff
teen to eighteen hundred killed, and one
thousand wounded. The enemy's shots
were not as fatal as ours, for they wound
many, our shot strikes the head and breas
and nearly all prove fatal.
Before this reaches you, | have no doub
we will be in Richmond. To-day it il
very warm. 1 will write you soon again
! l remain yours,

WHO Is OLD "A wise man will never
rust out. AS long as he can move and
breathe he will be doing for himself, his
neighbor, or for posterity. Almost to the
last hour of his life Washington was at
work. So was Franklin and Young and
Howard and Newton. No rust marrcd
their spirits. is IA foolish idea to suppose
we must lie down and die because we are
old? Not the man of energy not the day
laborer in science, art, os beneyolenee but
he only suffers his energies to waste, away,
and the springs of life to become motion.
less on whose bands the hours drag heavily,
and to whom all things wear the garb Of
gloom. Is he old should not be put
but, is he active? can he breathe and move
with agility? There are scores of grey
headed men we should prefer, in any im-
portant enterprise, to those young gentle
men who fear and tremble at approaching
shadows, and turn pale at lion in their
path, at harsh word or frown.

Within the region drained by the two
branches Of the Susquchanua, whose wa.
tors unite at Northumberland, lie some of
the most beautiful, most romantic and
most celebrated spots in the local history
of Pennsylvania-comprising many rich
and now populous counties, to which years
ago, the hardy settlers focked for cheap
land, the pleasure of the chase and fishing
rod. Within its borders occurred some
of the most terrible and bloody battles in
which the white and the red man conten.
ded for life and subsistence. Fierce and
protracted were the struggles; and we
find marks of them, not only on their very
sites, but the indians have indclibly STAN.
ped their own nomenclature upon the
streams, the mountains, the passes and
the valleys; and it should ever be source
of graft fcation that our noble and majes-
tic rivers were permitted to retain their
beautiful aboriginal names, instead of
being be-Rhincd and be-Rhoned and be.
libered from the Old World.
Born within the forks of the Susquc-
hanna, on the very bank and directly at
the mouth Of one Of its most romantic
tributaries, with the tempest roar and
sunny sparkle of both streams the most
familiar sounds and sights of my child
hood, and the peculiar sweet sounding
Indian name of both in my young ears,

And there is no valley i'll the world which

salubrity of climate and facility OF access

moral health, hospitality and intelligence
Of its inhabitants-surpasses that lying
in the forks of the Susquehanna, in the
good old commonwealth Of Pennsylvania,
But it is not only for the things men,
toned that this valley is celebrated. Its
historical associations and recollections
are fully worthy of its high character in
other respects. Within that territory
lies the beautiful Valley of Wyoming, the
plain tale Of thcs massacre of whose citi.
zens bring tears to the eyes of the most
careless reader, and whose charms and
horrors have been painted, but not height

Here, TOO, the celebrated Van Campen
followed lAe irai of the Indians, or sutf-
cred as prisoner in their cruel hands, a
narrative of whose adventures, some OF
them occurring almost in sight oi where

romance. liz this charmed region, Capt.
Samuel Brady performed many OF his
famous exploits, and made his hair
