WHAT OUR SHARPsHoeTERs HAVE

WHAT OUR SHARPsHooTERs HAVE
DoNE.-We have it from an officer of
Bcrdan's regiment of Sharpshooters, who
has been in nearly every battle on the
Peninsula, that a minute reckoning has
been made of all the rebels slain thus far
by the Sharpshooters, and that the num-
ber SO slain has already reached three
thousand. 1t has been rule with them
of their rifles for every rebel they felt
certain they had killed, not reckoning
the wounded or any case in which there
was an uncertainty. And hence the ac-
count could be and was, made up easily
and correctly.-Er.

ns=On Wednesday last. saws the Meadvillt

HOn Wednesday last, says the Meadville
Journal, when Mr.. J. L. Kelly, the Deputy
Marshall for Rockdale, was proceeding to
enroll some of the men at work on the line OF
the Atlantic and Great Western Rail Road
he was assaled with clubs and stones, his
papers taken from him and destroyed, and
after being knocked down once or twice, he
barely escaped with his life by fight. About
one hundred of the hands joined in pursuing
him, but fortunately he got away without
serious injury. The parties to this outrage
declare they will not be enrolled, and threaten
the life of the Marshal if he appears among
them.

GEWHAr IS WAETED.-The need of the
hour is not morey or arms or patriotic men.
1t is men FITTED TO FIGHT at once. Many
of oar new recruits never fired gun before
going into service, and will require months
to become marksmeg. We cannot wait. To
guard the Potomac above Washington, and
the mountain passes Of Western Maryland
and Southern Pennsylvania, there are required
IMMEDIATELY, men accustomed to hunt the
deer and otherwise use the gun, even if they
be exempted, or not drafted. The, Country
cannot wait to drill the young and inexperi-
,enced in the use of arms. The Southern con-
scripts are more habituated to the use Of that
weapon-better sportsmen and riders7 in gen.
eral-and thereby can be sooner drilled and
made useful soldiers.
Hunters OF Pennsylvania you who boast
of your proficiency in the weapons of warfare
your country now makes special calls upon
you to enlist Offer your services as scouts,
sharp-shosters, rangers, or in whatever way
your country can best match you against the
best men of Ter foes. 1.-THE business requires
haste "-Lecis6urg Chronicle.

rA.-The Patriot 4 Union wilfully tries to
deceive when it speaks of "a majority of Dem
ocratic soldiers" Its editors have seen the
Soldiers Election Returns from Pennsylvania
and Illinois-the only States where absent
soldiers voted-and that they voted over
whelmingly Republican. The only hope of
the Democrats carrying Pennsylvania, is be-
cause such large majority of our 10000 to
200, 1000 soldiers are Republicans. The aris-
tocratc Democrats of the Supreme Court

the volunteers of their votes if they had been
