They have killed twenty-five thousand eight
hunnred and seventy four more of our men than
we have of theirs.
They have wounded, not mortally, thirty mine
thousand four hundred and fourteen more of our
men than we have of theirs.
One hundred and fifty thousand more of our
mea have died of disease and wounds than of
theirs.
They have made prisoners of forty-six thousand
more Of our men than we have of theirs.
Our total casualties are two hundred and nine
ty-seVen thousand, two hundred and ninety seven
more than theirs-that is, our casualties have
been fourteen thousand more than as much again
as theirs.
This is the way we have 'sreyenged the firing
on Fort SUMTER
But this is not all. We have spent almost TWO
THOUSAND MILLION more of money than they have
spent.
We have made two hundred thousand of our
women widows.
We have destroyed the Constitution of our
country.
We have brought the ferocious savagery OF
war into every corner of society.
We kave demoralized our pulpits, so that our
very religion is source of Immortality and blood.
Instead of being servants of Christ, our Minis
ters are servants OF Satan.
The land is full OF contractors, thieves, pro-
vost marshaIs, and Thousand other tools of IL
legal and despotic power, as Egypt was of ver-
min in the days of the Phareahs.
We are rapidly degenerating in everything that
exats nation.
Oae civilization is perishing.
We are swiftly drifting into inevitable civil
war here in the North.
We ara turning our homes into charnel houses
There is corpse IN every family.
The angel of death sits in every door.
The devil has removed from Tartarusto Wash
ington.
We pretend that we are Furnishing the rebels,
but they Furnishing US.
We preteno that we are restoring the Union,
but we are destroying it.
We pretend that We are enforcing the laws,
but We are only catching negroes.
That is the way we are ssrevenging SUMTER
Selling our souls to the devil and taking Lin
coin L Co.'s PROMISE TO PAY. We have it in
greenbacks and blood.
That is the way we are ssrevenging SUMTER

POETRY.
THE SOLDIERS TEAR.

Upon the hill he turned
To take last fond look,
Of the valley and the village church,
And the cottage by the brook,
He listened to the sounds
So familiar to his ear,
And the soldier lent upon his sword
And wiped away tear.
Beside that cottage porch
A girl was on her knees;
She held alofs q snowy scarf,
Which futtered in the breeze.
She breathed prayer for him
A prayer he could not hear,
But be paused to bless her as she knelt,
And wiped away tear.
He turned and left the spet
Oh! do not deem him weak,
For dauntless was the soldiers heart,
Though tears were on his cheek,
Go watch the foremost ranks,
In dangers dark career;
Be sure the hand most daring there
Has wiped away tear,

MEssRs. EDITORS :-On the 10th inst, the col
umn marched from Hagerstown, Nd, to Waynes-
Doro', Pa, which place we now occupy. In this
place large supplies of cemmssary stores, drugs,
transports, etc., have been procured. We should
have remarked in our last communication that a
heavy stock of medicines was procured by the
command while in the occupation OF Chambers
burg.
The brigade explores this country at will, with
only occasional scouting parties of the enemy
falling in the way, of whom many are picked up
by our men. We have captured, in all, about
500 prisoners since the command left Staunton,
Virginia.
Our scouts are bringing in horses and cattle
daily in large numbers. The citizens express
their happy disappointment in being spared in
their persons and houses not being destroyed, as
their leaders and papers had represented would
be the case if invaded by US. w. K.

When our column marched this morning, mo-
wing eastward three miles, it ascertained that
the road through the mountain spurs was barri-
caded and the ssbushwhackers'' in their positions.
But they may soon learn that Gen. Jenkins has
much practical experience in that mode of war
fare. He sent out his skirmishers and waited
their return; they brought in ten of the ssgente-
men," and reported that they found and feasted
around a we'll furnished table in the woods. long
enough to accommodate one hundred persons
When Virginians ssbushwhacked'' Yankee inva-
ders the Northern press regard such conduct as
an outrage too intoierable to be submitted to by
an intelligent people. But it is said that s.cir-
cumstances alter cases.'' That which is consid-
cred outrageous in Vjrginians may be regarded
as praiseworthy in Pennsyvanians.
Maj. Sweeney's battalion suffered by being led
into an ambuscade by the retreating army from
Berryville, on the 18th inst. The Major is badly
wounded. w. x.

81 wish TO tell you little incident concerning
Dutch woman who hyed just outside OF the
town of Gettysburg. She fully Deiieved, hoped
and prayed that the Yanks would have whipped
US back and so strongly was she convinced of
its certainly taking place, that she cooked spen-
did bread and pies for the whole of one night
and two days to give to the Yankees as they
passed by her house: Well, the old ssyoman"
was doomed to disappointment. Our boys whip
ped the Yankees back, and was fortunate e.
nough to get some of the ssfxins'' of this old Ia
dy. 1t was enough to make well-fed man hum
CRY to have gazed upon that pile of beautiful
white loaves, those rich golden coored sugar
cakes and pies SUCH pies Ia whole army
might have feaSted (THEIR ETEs) upon them, and
then have had enough left 10 feed several hungry
dogs. Pies-yes. she had little pies and big
pies, thin pies aud thick pies, long pies and
short pies, sweet pies and sour pies, round pies
and half-moon pies-!n fact, pies of all kinds
graced her table in apple pie order. Now, just
