COntcmptibIcM Mcanncss of the Get
tysburgers-the Result Of Cop
perhead Teachings.

Correspondence N. Y. Times.
In The first place, the male citizens of Get
tysburg mostly ran away, and left the women
and children 10 the mercy Of their enemies,
On their return, instead of lending helping
hand to oar wounded, and opening their houses
to our ia nished officers and soldiers, they
have only manifested IN lecent haste 10 pre-
sent their bile 10 the military authorities for
payment Of losses inflicted by both armies.-
One man presented a Captain with a bill for
eighteen rails which his men bad burned in
cooking their coffee On the streets the bur
den Of their talk is their osses-and specula
tions as to whether the Government can be
compelled to pay for this or that. Almost
entirely they are uncourteous-but this is
plainly from lack Of intelligence and refine
ment. Their charges, too, were exorbitant-
hotels, 81 so per day; milk, 10 and Is cents
per quart; bread, 81 and even 81 so per loaf;
twenty cents for a 5andoge for wounded
soldier! Aud these are only few specimens
Of the sorlid meannsss and unpafr:otic spirit
manifested by these people, from whose doors
our noble army had driven hated enemy
The facts have stated can be fully substan
tiated by many officers high in rank, as well
as by what personally saw and experienced.
This is Adams County-a neigbbor to Cop
perhead York. which is still nearer to the
stupid and stingy Berks. OF course there
were some bright exceptions to this conduct,
which interspersed bright oasis in the deser,
OF shameless indifference and discourtesy "a
shamelessness which refused Miss Dix and hel
lady nurses board, because they I" didn't wan
to be troubled with boardcrs." .ti ~ neaI

Always WHERE DUrY CALLs.--It will be
seen by the letter of our regular Washington
correspondent, that Senator Chandler whom
the Copperhead Democrats intensely hate,
but whom Michigan soldiers Of all parties
loves, because they know and appreciate bis
attentions and kind offices-went promptly
to the vicinity of the late battle, TO relioGe
the wants of Michigan wounded soldiers
How such voluntary acts contrast with the
heartlessness Of his assailants, the Free Press
and its Copperhead croakers, who never man
ifest sympathy for Union soldiers, and never
visit them in camp or when STEERING from horri
ble wounds, but who, through their exponent,
Geo. w. Peck, denouuco them as "Hel,

KILLING RATs-A NOVEL TRAP. The
premises of good many farmers are infested
with rats, and we are often asked for modes
of destruction. A resident of Brooklyn is
vexed with an increasing family Of rats that
seem to grow fat on arsenic and rat extermln-
ator'. He dosen't like rats, and refers his
case to the Sunday Times. That journal re
commends trap made as follows:
"Take mackircl barrel, for Instance, and
fill il about one-third Of its height with water.
Then place a log end wise in the water, so
that one end of it will just remnin above the
to small TOO fit, and sustain it by two pins to
the inside Of the top Of the barrel, 50 that il
will hang as if on pivot and easily tip by
touching either side. On this head thus
suspended, secure a piece of savory meat
The first rat that scents it, will, to get TO tho
meat, leap on the barrel head. The head
will tip, or tilt prccipitate him into the water
and resume its position. The rat in tho
water will swim to the log, get on the end of
it, and squeel vociferously. His cries will
bring other rats, all Of whom will DO tilted
into the water and all Of whom will fight for
tho only dry spot in it-viz, the end Of the
log. As only one rat can hold il, the victcr

rats caught 10 one night by such a trick"

In Pickaway county, Ohio, $500 have been
raised by subscription, to send loyal newspa.

A Happy Woman.

What spectacle more pleasing does the
world afford than happy woman contenied
n her sphere, ready at all times to beucft
her little world by her exertions, and trans
forming the briars and thorns of life into roses
of Paradise by the magic Of her touch p.
There are those who are thus happy because
they cannot help it-no misfortunes dampen
their sweet smiles, and they diffuso cheerful
glow around them as they puriuo the even
tenor Of their way. They have tho secret Of
contcntment, whose value is above the philo.
sopher's stone; for without seeking the baser
exchange Of gold, which may buy some sort
Of pleasure, they convert everything they touch
into joy. What their condition is makes no
difference. They may be rich or poor, high
or low, admired Of forsaken by the fokle
world; but the sparkling fountain Of happi.
ness bubblos up in thvil hea,ts aud iu"hvo
them radent!y beautiful. Though they live
in log cabin, they make il shine with a
lusture which Kings and Queens may covet
and they make wealth fountain Of blessings
to the children Of poverty. Happy women
are the highest types of humanity, a,d we
cannot say how much we owe to thom for the
progress Of the race. Would there were
enough to go round!

We notice with pleasure that an en-
terprising farmer, in this town, has OBJ
tanned help from new source. He
wrote to an officer in the army to send
him colored man. The officer imme-
diately sent smart, active young man,
who seems to understand farm work,
and is likely to be as efficient as the for
eigners we usually employ, and the com
pensation will not be so much. Others
could profit by this example.
VEGETABLEs.-Those who intend TO
raise tomatoes early, cabbages, turnips,
&c, should be starting them now in box
es. Those who desire early potatoes
can sprout them by burying box full

will have them a week or two earlier
