The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1863-09-10

little incident, strongly suggestive OF the
Border Rufhan reign of terror in Kansas,
recently transpiring in the extreme nor
thern section of this county, has come to
our knowledge, which we give our readers
as it was told to us On last Sunday
week, at camp meeting held in Chest
township, Rev. A. j. Hartsock, formerly
Chaplain of the l33d Penna. Vols,
preached sermon. The sermon was an
able effort, attentively listened to by a
large congregation, and no doubt produc-
tive of much good. In the course Of his
remarks, the worthy divine took occasion
to touch briefly upon National affairs
He merely mentioned the fact of the ex-
istence of war, expressed sympathy
with the cause of Union and Liberty, and
prayed that the Rebellion might speedily
be brought to close. This, it seems,
was not in exact accordance with the pc
cuiiar views of six rufhans present, who,
so soon as reference had been made to our
distracted condition as a nation, each
drew a pistol, and, marching down the
aisle to the front of the pul pit, swore that
'politics shouldn't be preached thar, no
how !" Their department then became
most execrable. They brahdishcd their
pistols, cursed the "Abolitionists," de-
nounced the war, and, generally, made
e ~
II. however, not in the least daunted by
the formidable array of cleaning barrels
presented at his breast, descended from
the pulpit, and, after reading the cowardIy
ruffians severe lecture on the enormity
of the offence of attempting TO muzzle the
preaching of the word of God aud of
threatening the life of fellow man, COM
mandec them to withdraw and mar no
more the harmony of the proceedings
Completely cowed, or else thoroughly
ashamed of themselves, they saw fit to
comply and Rev. H. reascended the pull
pit and finished his discourse, without the
omission Of 4 single sentiment he had
intended giving utterance to in the first
place. Thus, by the frmness of one man,
assisted by Gods proVi ience, were the
counsels of the wicked turned into confu-
sion, and scene of violence and blood
shood, perhaps, prevented. These six
men--we have not their names or we
would certainly publish them-had made
their threats prior to the meeting that no
Union sentiments would be suffered to be
enunciated, aud were fully armed to back
up their threats by deeds. Cowards at
heart, howcve", they succumbed to the
superior determination of one man, un-
armed at that, and skunk away abashed.
And thus always does Right overcome
Might.
THE WooL BUsINEss.-Weu never had
the fantest idea that the establishment
of Messrs Jones & Yenner, for the man
ufacture OF the prepared article of wool,
and also for the manufacture of woolen
fabrics, was On such an extensive scale as
it is, until we happened in there the other
day. The building is three stories high.
One story is occupied entirely for the
storage of the raw wool Here we found
piles on piles of the artcle-an inexhaus-
tible $50 it seemed to us) supp ly-abiding
its time to be worked up. The value
Of the bulk was estimated to us at $50 600
ia round numbers This wool, it may be
proper to note, is the product OF this
immediate neighborbood. The two other
stories are occupied by the machinery, &c.
The mill is run both day and night,
turning out about two hundred and fifty
pounds OF the prepared rolls every TWEEN
.y-four hours The wooden fabrics, such
IS fiannels and cloth, manufactured here
pear high reputation for general excel
ence, and are much sought after for home
They also command ready
ale in the large cities. As before re-
marked, we we're surpris ed at the extensive
cale upon which the business is carried OH
