wish to beunderstood as speaking at all rev

count, here, as they, like other men, seem to
become reckless, when in the army. Of course,
there arc some houorable exceptions. The
chaplains we had in our regiment were the best

them. We are occasionally treated with an

A niFarenoe.

1t seems that after All the loud talk Of the Abb
olitionists in favor Of the right Of soldiers to
vote, they mean only such soldiers as will
vote the Abolition ticket. They think it all
right when the Administration sends couple
of brigades of "picked' voters, from the Army,
to Connecticut, to defeat tho Democracy; but
when poor, crippled Democratic soldier comes
home on furlough, they deny him the privileges
of citizenship, on the ground that he belongs to
''the government" Read the following letter,
written to the editor of this paper by respect
able and worthy citizen of Bedford county, who
had the misfortune to be drafted, and see for
yourselves the proof of the sincerity of Aboli-
tionists when they prate about the right of SOL
diers to vote: e

At an abolition meeting, held at the Union

certain Rev. A. N. Gilbert delivered himself
of the following .s
"We all have learned the history of St. Do

Domingo massacre re-enacted upon our soil
But the President has declared this military
necessity, and if blood must flow we must not
dread the consequences. Blood must flow in

A serious riot occurred at Union meeting
in Brown comfy, Indiana, on Saturday. by
which one man lost his life. 1t appears that a
few members of the Knights of the Golden Cir

guns and revolvers and had a melee. Another
affair of the same kind occurred in Danvlle,

Scripture and the War.
Br AMANDA J. swARrzwEIDER

In eighteen hundred and sixty one,
War tween the South and North begun;
And in eighteen hundred and slxty-lhree.
$ The end, as yet, we cannot see. @Ss
When first we heard that Sumpter fell, N
We knew the end no man could tell;
And now It's plain for all to see,
The truth of this in sixty three.
At first some said it soon would end, r,,
On this we surely might depend;
While others thought that it might last
Until one year at least was past.
But those who seemed to know the best,
Were found to differ with the rest,
The end, they thought, we need not fix,
Before the close of 'sixty-six.
They pointed to Gods Holy Book,
And bade US DER its pages look;
For there the prophets seem to fix
Babylons fall near 'sixty-six.
The prophet Daniel seems to view,
And Joel also looks unto,
The coming of the present war,
And what our God intends it for.
In fact, the prophets, one and all,
Say Babylon must shortly fall;
For her inventions now have slain
All those who do the truth maintain.
And here It's seen that Paul comes in,
And tells us of The Man of SIM"
And tits believed this is the one,
The prophets call "Great Babylon"
'Iis also thought he is the "Beast,"
Whom John beheld so much increased
That he went out with power again,
And filled the land with lions slain.
And he had power, John further says,
10 slaughter Gods Two Witnesses
For these two prophets long had been
A torment to "The man of Sin,"
They're dead, and now he doth rejoice,
And send gifts round with cheerful voice;
For he is proud that they are SHIN,
And has no thought they'll rise again.
But 10! Jehovah calls aloud,
And up to heaven in cloud,
Trey rise and sing with rapturous lay,
AS birds soar up at break of day. ..
Sons of once free America!
Although the Beast doth now you slay;
Ere long your God will bid you rise,
According to the prophecies.
Then, fear ye not foul Babylon's rage,
For God has lived in every age,
The shield of right, and He will be
Your shield to all eternity. .

FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE, Va, |
April 18th, 1863. (

FRIEND METERS:
If you deem it pleasure to reside in
country where blade Of grass or q fence rail
is not to be seen or found for miles around,
the red mud two or three feet deep, and a town
close by in which nobody lives, where you can
regale yourself with ale or lager by paying a
dime per spoonful, or appease your hunger with
q ''ginger cake" by tightening your pocket of a
sixpencs, then indeed we are favored in the high
est degree. ''Pork and beans" occasionally va
ried to ''beans and pork" expecting midnight
raids, outside picketing, or a scouting frolic,
with the sight of few "Greybacks" now and
then, are among some of the many luxuries we
revel in. The town of Fairfax is now inhabi-
ted by suttlers, one or two white ladies an oc-
casional colored lass here and there, Uncle Sans
mules, and few half starved cats and dogs
The most remarkable features. in the surround
ing scenery are the white abodes of Uncle Sans
harvest-hands, to be seen on almost every hill
side within sight. There are about eight or ten
thousand cavalry with some artillery and in
fantry encamped in the vicinity. The Brigade
to which we are attached is collecting here, and
probably we will move again soon. On Eas-
ter Sunday we had a pretty severe snowstorm,
and having come to this place the evening be-
fore we had gay old time, sleeping in the snow
and on the wet ground, some of us without
tents, but being no strangers to such treatment,
it was submitted to with pretty good grace,
and a little muttering about ''the internal SOL
diering business"
Among the cavalry around here we notice
the 18th Pennsylvania, in which are some Bed
ford County boys, who came with Lieut.. Nell.

limb, and the rebel lead still retaining a home
in his form can well attest. Among the numer-

cinity the name of Captain Moseby, some

3 b the prescription OF Democratsin business
The Philadelphia League has been busy at this
kind Of work ever since its organization. Dem
ocratic merchants and dealers in that city, have
1 been singled out and marked for sacrifice, by
4 thie new band Of Jacobins. We know this to

fellows have determined to draw this broad line
& Of division between themselves and the Democ.
racy, let us fight them with their own weapons
Z.aWhen Democratic merchants visit PHILADELPHIA
for the purpose of purchasing goods, let them
inquire, before buying anywhere, what city mer.
chants belong to the ''Union League" let them
make list OF those who give their adherence
10 this malignant organization, and, then, let
them give all such wide berth when thew
make their purchases. IF Dem ocrats are to be
prescribed in business, because of their politi-
cal opinions, it is but fair that they should re.
Z fuse TO give their patronage to those who are
putting the bloodhounds upon their track We
hope that this suggestion will be acted upon by
every Democratic merchant in the State, who
