@Whsn our Union generals went in
to Virgins, they placed guards around
the property of rebels. gave them permit
to pass through our lines, and sent sold
iers to return fugitivss slaves to their
owners. This was called concilia,ing our
brethren OF the South. Whom General
Early took possession OF York he do
mandsd contributions from the people to
the amount ofSl5o, 900, saying that if re-
fused they would be taken. This is call
ed supporting an army upon an enemy's
country. The rebels do not make war .
sentimsntalisn. When he occupied
Chambersburg be told the people that
there must b no interference with bis
army. If any such attempt was made it
would be resented with the rigors Of
war In other words. il any farmer Of
York or Adams took down his gun and
shot the rebel thief Il his stable door he
would be suspended on the nearest tree
in his orchard. This is called compellL
ing obedience to military authority.
When the Union generals went into the
South they were assailsd and harassed by
gueriass. who were protected by law Of
retaliation, and who were called the de-
fendsrs Of their homes.
A TIMELY SUGGESTION As many
people are in the habit of sending news
papers. prepaid by single stamp, to their
friends in the rural districts, it is proper
they should be informed that they invs-
riably find their way to the chip basket
Of the post ofhce, and stanps and papers
are their perqaisites. They are not sent
through the mails. 1t appears that by a
late Law of Congress, or regulation of the
Department, the change is fixed At two
ceuts for package not exceeding fou,
ounces in weight, and that where less
than two cents in stamps is placed upon
the packages they are to be deemed en-,
tirely unpaid and retained.
