The ice crop has been secured for the

their buildings on Salisbury pond with ice
about twelve inches thick; that beside Lin
coin pond will soon be filled up. So we shall
not have to import ice from Canada.

pounds of Illinois wool at fifty cents per

The case was tried in this city before the SUI
preme court in March, 1860, when the jury
disagreed. There was second trial in
March, 1862, which, under the rulings and
instructions Of the presiding judge, resulted
in verdict for the plaintiff. The questions
of law and fact raised at the trial, were re-
served for the consideration of the supreme
judicial court, and were argued by counsel
at the law term held in this city in October
last. The case has recently been decided
in favor of the defendants, and a reScript
has been entered, setting aside the verdict;

FAIRLY CoRNERED

senting the copperhead party of that State,r ,re-
Gently entreated President Lincoln to revoke
the traitor Vailandigham. Mr.. Lincoln made
Characteristic reply, which will be found in
full on the outside of this paper. He says if
the committee will sign and abide by propo-
siton' which he includes in his letter, he will
rescind tie order. This proposition simply
acknowledges the existence of the Rebellion
that the Army and Navy are Constitutional
means tor suppressng it ; that neither of the
Committee will hinder the increase or favor the
decrease Of the Army and Navy while engag-
ed 10 suppress the Rebellion and that each
of them will do all he to to have the Off
GERS, soldiers and seamen, whilst so engaged,
paid, fed, clad, and otherwise well provided
for and supported. These propositions can be
subscribed to by every in the land who
is right at heart and wishes to preserve the
Union and unless the Committee subscribe TO
them they will be responsible for the contin-
ued Punishment OF Vallandigham, and their
refusal will have the effect OF destroying all
the shuncombe'' the Copperheads have been
making out of their leaders, trial and depor-
tation. Yea further, by their refusal to en-
dorse the proposition made to them by the
President, they place themselves and their
party upon the record as being opposed to the
preservation of the Union, acknowledge that
they really in faror Of the Rebellion, and
that they desire the destruction of the Const-
tuition and the Government f.

THE VICTORY AT GETTYSBURG

In o-day's Journal will be found detailed
account of the great Battle at Gettysburg,
which will give our readers better idea, per-
haps. of the ferceness of the struggle and the
completeness of the victory achieved by the
Army OF the Potomac under command of Gen.
Meade, than anything we have yet seen in
print. The rebels had at least 100 900 men at
Getty ysburg-our army was not so large-per-
haps we had S5, 900 near there. 1t is evident
that on the first days fight our forces under
Generals Reynolds and Howard were badly
worsted. During the second day the Rebels
fought with desperation never before wit
messed, but finally towards evening they were
driven back at every point, with, perhaps. a
single exception. On the third day their re-
pulse was complete, and the most decisive
victory in the course ofthis wicked Rebellion,
gained by the Union army. 1t is almost
impossible, at this early day, to estm ate the
loss sustained by either side, but all who have
had opportunities TO inform themselves, cal
culate the Rebel loss in killed, wounded and
prisoners at donble ours at least.
The effect which this great victory of Gen.
Meade over Gen. Lee will have in the South
is matter OF no little importance. Lee had
the reputation of being invincibe. His men
had blind faith in his invulnerability. His
defeat destroys all this prestige and cannot
fail to demoraIze his army, But this is not
ALL The Rebels penetrated one of the richest
portions of our State. They the ssfat of
the land ''-rich fields of grain, farm houses
and barns unsurpassed in the world-they wit
messed the prosperity which prevail at the
North in all branches of industry, and beheld
villages and towns throng W ith able bod
led men, who had not, as yet, taken part in
the conflict which has been raging for over
two years. All this, as we have been reliably
informed, were so many sources of surprise
and amazement to the Rebels, and when they
return South the mere relation of what they
had seen, will open the eyes of the people to
the delusion which their leaders have practic-
ed upon them, and will as effectuaIy demor-
alize public opinion in Rebellion, as the de-
feat of Lee at Gettysburg has demoralized his
drmy.

What Invasion has Taught Penns7lvania.

/
Invasion has taught the people of Pennsyl-
/ vania many salutary lessons, and if they profit
| by the incucation, what they have lost in ma
terial wealth will not be accounted a serious
| injury We have learned, in less than twen-
| ty days, that We have foe within as we'll as
foe without the State. We do not mean an
armed rebel foe, when refer to the enemy
within our borders. Such foe is honorable
in all respects, in comparison with'the mean
wretches to whom we allude-the secret SYM
pathizers with treason, who unveiled them
selves when the rebel armies advanced across
our borders, who conducted the worst of these
forces through the quiet and fruitful Cumber-
land Valley, and who acted as detectives for
the rebel chiefs In pointing out the concea led
property of Union men. All this we have
learned, but important as this know ledge is,
we have learned other lessons, from which we
trust the people of Pennsylvania will not fail
to be profited. Ne hare been taught that ,ce
must take care of ourseires, or be taken care of
by others at the expense of our honor as people,
and our reputation as a soUereiga State. Now
that the great danger is past, and that Penn
sylvania has rallied under her State flag forty
thousand men, it is not impulitic to admit
that when the dread reality of invasion first
startled our people, We were unprepared to
meet foe on onr soil. " were uDprepared
to do this. SIMPLY because our entire military
enterprise had been monopolized by the Ma
tional Government, while measures which had
been proposed to secure local military Or
ganIzation for State purposes, had been de-
feated with partisan malighity by the majori-
ty in power in the last Legislative House.
If the leaders of that majority had understood
at that time that the rebels intended to invade
Pennsylvania at some future period and if
these leaders had intended to play into the
hands OF the rebels, they could not have more
effectually done so than they did when they
opposed the suggestions of Gov Curtin for
the reorganization of the State militia Had
that reorganization been effected when il
was proposed by Gov. Curtin-had the bill
which was passed for that purpose by Re-
publican Senate been adopted by Democrat
ic House, the battles which have already del.
uged Pennsylvania with blood would have
never been fought, the piIlage which has i'm
poverished the Cumberland Valley, would
never have taken place. The lesson thus
learned will induce Pennsylvania to maintain
militia force adequate to the defence of her
border. II will prompt our people to ore an
ize on SECURE military basis. 1t will teach

THE NEW FOURTH OF JULY.


On the Fourth of July, l776, American In
dependence was formally declared on the
Fourth of July, 1868 it was virtually reafrm
ed in the glorious events which assure us thai
il cannot be destroyed. On the one day A
merica resolved that she would arise, and take
her place among the nations on the other
having arisen to all that her widest dreams
could have embodied, she proved she was toe
great to fall. In that event she asserted heI
rights: in this, she revealed her power. AL
that was gained on the one day, was on the
other preserved; and every word which or
the Fourth of July, 1776, was read from the
steps of the Hall of Independence, recei ived
Few emphasis, profounder meaning, from
the deeds done on the anniversary OF that day
in 1863
When the American colonies of Great Brit
ain declared themselves to be free and indie
pendent States, and, though weak and unpre-
pared for war. successfully detied the author
ity enforced by the armies of the empire
whose yoke they had cast off, their triumph
was indeed glorious. But not less glorious
will be the victory which the United States
Will finally achieve over foe more danger
Gus than Great Brtain-a victory which be-
gan on the Fourth of July with the route oil
LEES army, and the capture of Yicksbnrg
These results are more than coincidental.
The anniversary OF the day of Freedom was
an inspiration to our armies, and enf1amed d
them with tiercer ardor. Men who could
not conquer then, could never conquer. We
halip hat
the Army of the Potomac, standing on Penn
sylvania soil on the evening of the Sd of July,
to have failed. A moral necessity compe lied
1t to succeed. 1t is no wonder that the bat
tie was the bloodiest of the war, and that our
forces surpas sed all their bravery on 9th er
fields II may have been coincidence that
FIcksburg should have been surrendered on
that day, but hereafter are disposed to be-
lieye, superstitiousy perhaps, that the Fourth
OF July had something to do with everything
good that happens. Henceforth we have dou-
bic cause to celebrate the Anniversary of A
merican Independence, for it is also the ami
versary of National salvation. We had
thought il impossible to make the day more
glorious, but Grant and Meade have taught us
our mistake. Eighteen hundred and sixty
three eliminates with new light the memory
of Seventeen hundred and seventy Y six splen-
dor is added to splendor, and joy to joy; We
shall hereafter read with very different feel
ings the words which Jefferson then gave un-
to the world, and agree with him, though for
new reasons, that, .sGovernments long estab-
lished should not be changed for light and
transient causes. .''-Press
