THE DoINGS OF A REBEL SYMPATHIZER
IN GETTYSBURG

The editor of the Gettysburg Compiler, the
organ of the copperhead treason sympathizers
in Adams county, was arrested few days
sipce, charged with having communicated
with the rebels while they were in possess
sion of Gettysburg. 1t is alleged that he in
formed a rebel colonel that a certain number
of wounded Union prisoners, with a given
number of arms, were concealed in the house
of the postmaster of Gettysburg, Mr.. Buehler
At the moment Stable (who is the wretch ar
rested) engaged in imparting this infor-
nation. he was overheard by one of the woun-
ded men who was coucea led in the house in
question, and who al the time the converse
ton took place, was making observation
from the third story window to note what he
could see or hear on the streets. This woun-
ded man could see and hear Stalhe with great
distinctness, and after the miserable pimp
had impaired his information to the rebel of
ficer, he was also heard requesting him not to
ring the bell or enter the house until he
(Stahle) had turned the corner into an ad-
joining alley. The rebel officer com piled with
the request, and did not enter the house un-
til Stable had concealed his carcass. After
ga 10 L OSllnaStcT buctIeT 5
residence, the business of the intruder was
soon stated. The wounded men we're of
course found and at once paroled, but after
carefully peering into every corner and ex-
amining every room from cellar to the artick,
no concealed arms or ammunition were found
Satisfied that he had been deceived by the
pimp Stable. who evidently imagined that the
charge OF conceaing weapons would bring the
2. NJ. into difficulty, the rebel officer left the
premises, expressing more disgust for his IN
formant than for those whom he in formed.
On the testimony of the wounded soldier,
who fortunately overheard the conversation be-
tween Stable and the rebel officer, the former
was arrested and is now (or was) in the hand
of the U. S. Provost Marshal of Adams coun-
ty. What disposition should be made of such
wretch Every honest man will answer,
hang him

THE PEACE MEN.

As we anticipated, last eek, the copperheads
are raising the cry that now since Grant and
Meade victorious the Government should
offer FERNS to the rebels. What terms can
the Government offer except unconditional
submission The rebels know that they can
have peace on those terms at any moment.
They could have had it long before the battle
OF Getty sburg or the surrender of Vicksburg
1t is not for the Government at Washington
to sue for peace, now when everything seems
to Indicate that peace will come through the
utter extinction of the rebellion. But the lead
ers of the rebe llion at r ichmond may offer to
submit, and the President will be only too
happy to order cessation of hostiities Let
the Peace men make their appeals to their
friend Jefferson Davis. He began the war.
and he can end it without further bioodshed
If he chooses.

REBEL INVASION IN INDIANA

The rebels under Morgan, who have inEa
ded Indiana, in the hope of finding copper
head recruits to help them to do mischief, will
probably soon find that part of the country
too hot for hem. Besides the State m mlitia,
which Is already in motion from all quarters
under the energetic direction of Governor T
Morton, we find that all the troops in the
State of Michigan have been called for by the
authorities. and are already on the way TO
meet Morgan and his horde, whom the west
ern men fully expect to 'sgobble up'' in day
or two.
