Col. TATE
Dear 81, .-Mfflinvile is ours. The
towu was Internationally surrendered to
our forces this morning. DR.. Ritrey met
our forces on the banks of the Susque-
hanna river, and surrendered the town.
Further capitulations were effected on the
part of the town by Mayor Jacob Teets'
Our Commander made levy on the
inhabitants for three drinks Of red eye, one
for himself and one for the Mayor, two
cold potatoes, and six apples as nearly
ripe as possible; if not filed in one week,
the town is to be handed over to our forces
to be pillaged. Our entire force entered
the town on the same day, the rear being
brought up by Capt. Jacob D.
The Union sentiment in this town is not
very generally developed, but is very
strong where it does exist; from the fact
that our soldiers had nothing to eat until
the wagon train came up, and the Union
lists very kindly let them wait until they
did come.
There are now only two more important
points to capture, and the campaign will
be over in this military district The one
is the Speck Barng and the other is the
Reuer Ba,rig. Our commaudcr,by very
ingenious stragetic movement, Chat no
body understood nor hiss any business to
understand has cut off all communication
between the Specb Barrig and the Rever
Barrig, also by the same movement be
tween the Rever Barrig and the Specl
Barrig. Correspondent thinks this was
effected by ticking possession of Keller'
Tavern ] Our forces consist in total o
81 privates, l Gigadier- -Brindle, Captain
l Lieutenant, and % Sergeants. Of the
cavalry and artillery forces I am not al
lowed to speak, only to say that we have
none of them. ..
We expect heavy battle on the Spec
Barrig or on the Rever Barrig i'll whic
our loss may reach 200 men, and that @
the insurgents about a 200, and the res
can then be easily routed or captured an
, then the glorious Stars and Stripes wi
will wave once more triumphantly owe
Speck Barrig and Rever Barring. W
may be in want of artillery, but as til
insurgents are reported to have more an
. munition than they want, it will be a
' easy matter to borrow all we may nee
for the occasion. When the fight take
place 1 will inform you Immediately.
Yours respectfully,

D5- As was to be eXpec ted, the editor of the Dem
oerdt has paid his compliments to the Rev. Mr.. DMM
by devoting half column TO misrepresenting his able
and patriotic address before the Union League. We
understand that the Rev. gentleman feels very much
Obliged TO him for not msrepresehing him any worse
than he has. But one statement we care about stop
ting to correct. Mr.. DM made the ASSERTION and be
repeated it, that MIR. Lincoln elected by eORsti
tntioRai majority" The editor of the Democrat max
him say "a majority" and pronouncos the statement
editor of that sheeL-SnRt Machine
DR.. John, appears as the defender Of
the Rev. Mr.. Dimm, as will be seen BY
the foregoing attempted Justification. We
asserted last week, that Mr.. D., said
"Abraham Loncoln was elected by a ma.
.jority of the voters of the United States
He did not use the term, "conStitutiona
majority" And this can be proven by
all candid men who heard him. This i.
incontrovertible.
Mr.. Dimm may well "feel much oblig
ed" that we dealt with him and his speech
as we intended, SO leniently. We tell the
Rev. gentleman, most frankly, that DR.
Pee John, has ruined the fortunes Of about
all the men he has ever espoused in Col
umbia county, and if he has chartered his
services, in this instance, it will enurc
to his serious injury in this community.
Let him call off his dog.

EG The following impressive scene
occurred in Philadelphia at the rejoicing
over the fall of Vicksburg. A vast
crowd met in Independence Square, and
after an address by Mr. Gibbons, Rev.
DR.. Brainerd, unexpectedly to all, but in
evident accordance with the feeling of
all, barred his head and delivered most
earnest and affecting prayer. As he
closed with an impressive Amen the
whole multitude took up the word, and,
as with one voice, responded amen"
The Gazette describes the concluding
scene:
While this prayer was being offered,
the band silently disappeared AS the
final word of the duplication was pro-
nounced, strain of sacred music burst
from overhead. The band had assembled
to the State House steeple, and there
played with effect that no tongue can
adequately describe the air of Old Hun
dred, written by Martin Luther two CEN
turtles ago.
Spontaneously a gentleman mounted
a post and started the melody to the
words:
''Praise God from whom all blessings iow''
The whole multitude caught it up, and
a doxology was sung with majesty
that Philadelphia never before heard.
Every voice united The monster ora
tories that we have heard, with a vocal
chorus of three hundred singers, dwin-
died into insigni6cance in comparison
to it

The ChaDlain'S PRAYER,

One of our earnest Chaplains is said
to have made prayer somewhat after
the following style, invoking the wrath of
God upon traitors;
90! God, wouldst Thou cause earth
quakes to shake them; simoons to scortch
them; volcanoes to pour out their burn
ing fountains upon them; Egyptian dark
ness to blind them, and all the hosts of
Egyptian plaques to torment them. And
OF Lord, wouldst Thou cause that tongue
to cling to the roof of that mouth that
plots, and that arm to be paralyzed that
executes treason. Overturn all their
reasonable designs, and, in brief, play
hell Nth them generaly!"

What It Costs.

LEWIS NAPoLEoN is beginning to expert
ence the cost of his Mexican campaign. 1t
has already taken two hundred million
francsqer forty million dollars out of his
treasury. His Minister Of Finance thinks
that the worst is over, and that the'expense
must henceforth diminish. But as Mexico
isC CSet9unconquered and still hostile, the
probability is pretty strong that great
many millions more willhave to be expend-
ed before she Is completely quiescent under
moharcfial rule, or satisfied with the SEM
blance Of free government withoutpossess-
ing it. vOJgIfIQgy gf2f7 ~
The Mexican war, We, are told, was never
very popular in France, and the recent ex-
hibit made by the Minister Of Finance does
not seem likely to increase its popularity.
Butfor.the war in Mexico and Japan there
would have been in the French treasury a
surplus, of one hundred and fifty million
francs in the last two years; now there is
nearly that much deficit. In consequence
aloan has been resorted to for the deficien-
cy. These financial embarrassments, 1t is
thought, may help to preserve peace in Eu-
rope; as European war, added to the
Mexican expedition, would be ruinous to
the present prosperity of France.
