CALAMITY OF the Omeers under Gen.
Meade.


There is one Circumstance attending the
late victories in Pennsylvania which is
worthy of particular remark. There is no
complaint of the least want of slacrity
either in the officers or the men who COM
posed the different parts of our army. The
men, we knew, would fight CALAMITY when
CALAMITY led; but in the late battles all
the officers seem to have supported their
commander with zeal equal to his own,
and q celebrity of movement which left him
nothing to desire. The records of the fight,
the official reports, aud the narratives OF
eye Witnesses which fiji the newspapers,
mention no instance of tardy obedience to
orders. We hear of no skuikiug officers
no commanders of brigades or divisions
failing to bring up their men at the. proper
moment, no sluggish marches made whea
the fate of the day depended upon rapid
ity of progress, no bodies Of men held in
shameful inaction within hearing OF the
very guns which carried death among their
fellow soldiers.
On the contrary. the history of these
battles is a history of gallant deeds per-
formed by every part of the Army OF the
Potomac, history not only OF firm resist
ance to impetuous attacks, but OF rapid
marches, succors promptly given, and
blows struck at the decisive moment
Wherever q body of men was wanted, there
it was found whenever an officer was d.
rected TO q particular part of the field, there
he was, as speedily as the swiftest march
could take him. II was not merely the
iron stubbornness with which we met his
assaults that perpleEed the enemy, but 1t
was the sudden, staggering, stunning blows
which we gave him 10 return, that changed
enthusiasm into alarm, and the fierce at
tack into an inglorious fight.
We need not look far to.ind the cause
Of this ready and cordial support of the
commander by all the subordinate officers.
We have got rid of a set of men in epau-
lettes whom General Mcclellan, on being
dismissed from his command, had left be-
hind him and who were the despair both
of Pope and Burnside-men whose hearts
were not in the cause for which their
swords were given them, and who held
with their late chef that the destruction
of the rebel armies was not the true poll
cy of the government in conducting the
war. These men, by whose agency SO
much mischief has been done in the way
of obstruction, have been gradually
weeded from the army, and only officers
of the right spirit left, those who place
the cause of their country far above their
attachment to any military chef, and
who would hold themselves dishonored
forever if they gave the country any
ground to suspect them of backwardness
in pressing every conflict with the enemy
to decisive victory.
To this cause, as much as to the ability
of its commander, we owe it that the
late battles in southern Pennsylvania re-
suited in defeat of the rebels so com
plete, and victory Of the Union arms SC
decisive and glorious.

COPPEEHEADIsH is. the northern Their
mometer that indicates the state Of the re-
bellion. When the Union armies win Cop
perheadism goes down; wien the rebels
succeed it goes up again. The fall Of
Yicksburg takes it down very near to zero,
and the elimination of our victories in
Pennsylvania 10 thee pture or destruction
of Lees army, will roo it so low that not
even a spirit Thermometer can tell where it
is. The Copperhesds in Pennsylvania who
hasteued TO make peace for themselves
with the rebels and 10 e1ecrate their own
goVernment-such of them as were not
very properly conscripted by the rebels for
their treachery-would be very glad to blot
out the last fortnight's record of their his
tory, if they could. They had better leave
for Canada. There will be no peace for
them in Pennsylvania hencefortb. What
is true of that State will be true every
where if our success continues Copper
head politics will die out with the rebel
lion, and in fact little in advance of it.
If any well meaning, or any prudent man
has been deluded into this sort of treason
he had better foresee the evil and hide
himself, and be quick about it. There is
no future for any such men unless JEFF.
Davis destroys the Union, the prospect
for which contamination grows daily small

He stood the fatigue of travel as we'll as

displayed at Martinsburg. We hope he

Sentence OF Mrs. Burgett, the Chicago
ShOplIfter.

We have already noted the arrest of one
of the most fashionable ladies of Chicago,
for confirmed and long continued shop
lifting, her elegant house having been
filled with costly dry goods which she had
stolen and secreted. The case excited
profound interest, from the standing and
surroundings of Mrs. Burgett. She was
promptly tried and convicted of grand
larceny, and sentenced to the penitentiary.
She at first positively refused to go before
the court. and to avoid being taken by
force, she deliberately retired to bed in
her cell She finally consented, however
to go in after the rest of the prisoners had
been sentenced and removed. She was
clad in deep mourning for the recent death
of her husband. The Tribune gives the
following report of the sentence:
She wore no ornaments, save two or three
plain gold rings, aud presented a sad con.
| ttast to her former elegant state. After
she had taken chair she raised her veil.
Her features were snd and careworn, and
she seemed to have grown old rapidly with
in the past few weeks. She was bowed
down aud sank into her chair deeply agi-
tated, and trembling so violently that size
could hardly maintain her seat. The clerk
of the court handed her glass of water,
which she drank with difficulty. Mr.. Asey,
her counsel, arose and said: "Your Honor
knows that the property of this unfortu-
nate lady is scattered about, and l would
request a favor which is allowed by the
law, that the time within which the sen .
tence is to be carried into effect may be ex-
tended from ten to thirty days, TO allow
her time to recover and arrange it,"
The Oourt-Have you anything to say,
Mrs. BurgettP
Mrs. Burgett was about to rise, when
her counsel advised her not to say any
thing, and she simply replied: 81 had
wished to say something, but my counsel
does not deem it advisable. If it is not
proper, will not say anything"
The Court-Having,pleaded guilty. it is
nay duty to pass sentence. Your sex, for
mer position and late bereavement excite
my sympathy; I will not say a word to
lacerate your feelings, but at once pronounce
your sentence, which is, that you be i'm
prsoned in the peniteniiary for one year
at hard labor, the shortest time the law
allows, one day of which shall be in solitary
confinement, and that you be removed
within the next thirty days.
Deeply agitated, and sobbing violently,
the wretched woman was led back to her
cell.

BATTLEFIELD OF GETTYSBURG, Jnly g..
The following particulars of the death
of the noted rebel Gen. William Barksdale
have just been communicated to me. It,
Col. Charles E. Livingston, of New York,
A. J.. G on Mai. Gen. Doubleday's staff, on
the night of Thursday, July 8, went out in
the extreme front to discover if possible
the body, he having been Informed by a
prisoner of the locality where Barksdale
was shot. The spot was about quarter
of a mile in advance of our pickets, and
Col. Livingston, with bis small party of
stretcher bearers, was once driven in by
rebel scouts, but on second attempt was
so fortunate as 20 be successful. The
body of the General was found, life
was not yet extinct, but his wound was
u mortal one. He was lifted upon the
stretCher, and being very heavy per-
son, eight men were required to bear his
weight. BE declared with his last breath
that he was proud of the cause he died in
fighting for, proud of the manner in which
the Rebels were iuvincible, and although
repulsed that day they were sure of victory
on the morrow. He left with CO..! Liv-
ingston his watch, pocket book and other
trinkets, to be sent to his friends in Mis-
sissippi. Barksdale, as every one knows,
was an extremely bitter Secessionist, who
INDUCED in many and repeated threats
previous to the war of the dissolution of
the Union. The watch is large gold one,
deliberately chased; there are several arti-
ticles of jewelry in addition to it.
