A Terrible Tragedy in Pennsylvania

We find the following in the Harris
burg Union:
On Thursday night Mr.. William Bach
man and wife, who live about mile and a
quarter north of Sadsburyville, Chester
county, were found murdered, the former
in the yard, about one hundred and thirty
yards from the house, and the latter on
her bedroom floor. The facts relating to
it were so contradictory that the jury en-
pannelled was unable to agree upon YER
dict The evidence may be summed up as
follows: A son sleeping in room above
the one occupied by his mother, was AVA
kened bya shuffiing noise underneath. He
went down to see the cause, and on going
in to his mothers room found her lying on
the floor in dying condition, with her
throat out. Besides this, four large wounds
were found on her, apparently inflicted
with blows from a club; her left shoulder
was badly injured, and both hands much
bruised
The body of Mr.. Bachman was found.
with the assistance OF some neighbors, af-
ter considerable trouble He was in a
kneellng posture near u fence, with his
throat cut, and heavy silk handkerchief
wrapped twice around it and tied to the
fence His pocket knife was picked up
near the kitchen door, where blood was
found in large quantities.
This act is involved in great mystery
Mr. Bachman is represented as having
been very quick tempered and hasty
man.
Some suppose that the deed was the
work of Mr.. Bachman, but it would seem
almost impossible for him, after bleeding
SO freely near the house, to still retain
strength enough to walk 1870 yards, tie +.
himself to the fence, making the knot SO
tight as to require the handkerchief to be
cut TO release him.

The Chippewa Payment.

We understand that Bishop WHIppLE,
Bishop GRACE and Rev. Mr.. WILLIAMSON
intend to be present at the Chippewa
payment which is appointed to be made
October 18th. 1t will be remembered that
the allowed named divines were appointed
by the President as Commissioners, under
an act of Congress, to visit the Indian
tribes in Minnesota and Dakota at stated
times to attend to their well-being.

Resisting Enrolling omcers.

/ "A United States District Judge in Pitts
burgh, Judge MoOANDLEss, has rendered a
decision to the effect that resisting an en-
rolling officer is not an indictable offence,
and that the law only recognizes resistance
to the execution of the draft itself. We be-
lieve this was the view of the law taken by
the counsel for the defendants in the cases
arising under the enrollnent in st. Paul.
The Pennsylvania decision is the first that
We have noticed upon this point.

The Army Of Deserters.

The statement going the rounds of the
press that Is, 900 men were absent without
leave from the Army Of the Potomac, or,
in other words had deserted, is incorrect.
From figures in the Provost Marshal Gen
erals Office, it is ascertained that on the
first of July, 1863, there were but 92,7S9
deserters from all the armies in the field.
Since the establishment of the bureau of
deserters over $4,000 of these miserable
skulkers have returned to their regiments.

The French People and Recognition.

Mr.. GAILARDET, formerly editor of the
Courier des Etate Uaais, of New York,
and now correspondent in France, writes
to that journal under date of Paris, Sep
TENDER IL:
The recognition of the South is, we must ad-
init, the logical consequence of our (Mexcan)
enterprise 1t is, or rather should have BEEN
its natural result, for our Government ought
to have considered that, with the restoration
OF the Union, the establishment of monarchy
in Mexico would become very difficult But
in this event we ought to have acted consist
emily to the end by serving the cause of the
South, when it could have been done effica-
ciously. 1t is not too late now, that the Confed-
crates have lost the Mississippi Vicksburg,
Port Hudson and probably Charleston? Such
IS the language used by the partisans of the
South themselves. The mass of the public are
earnestly asking, moreover, have we an in
terest in Mexico great enough to take prece.
dence over war, or even simple rupture
with the American Union? I do not hesitate
to declare that the question is answered in the
negative by ninety-nine persons out of every
hundred, and ttat such will be the tone of the
new body, Corps Legislatif) which is to open
on the 9th OF November next, if before that
time the country should find itself irrevocably
bound, by the Government

Government Arms on Hand.

The Government at present has on hand
in the different arsenals throughout the
country, SOC, 900 effective stand of arms.
The number is rapidly increasing, the
Springfield armory alone turning out
$4,000 rifled muskets per month. Under
the contract made by Secretary Cameron,
nearly two years ago, with private parties,
for 200, 900 rifed arms, only $4,000 have
as vet been delivered to the Government.

Gen. George HI. Thomas.

General GEoReE III. THOMAS has long
stood high among those who knew his
ability as an officer, his soldity of judg
ment, steadiness and indomitable resolu-
ton under adverse circumstances, and his
quiet, unassuming character as man.
Not, however, until the late bat les in
Georgia, have these sterling qualities been
fairly known to the public. Elsewhere,
he has been somewhat overshadowed by
men of more dashing qualities. 1t re-
quired just such fearful trial as has just
come upon him and bis steady veterans,
to develope the whole man, as he was
we'll known by the army in which he
served.
His reputation will be all the brighter
and more enduring from the contrast be-
tween him and the commanders Of the
centre and right wings of Gen. RosEoRANs'
army.
Gen. THOMAS entered the service as
second lieutenant of the Third artillery, in
1910, and rose by regular gradations to be
colonel of the Fifth cavalry. His COM
mission as Major General of volunteers
bears date April 25th, 1862. Gen. THOMAS
name is associated with. the victory at Mill
Springs, in Kentucky, over ZoLLIcoFFER,
which was the first of long series Of I'M
ion successes, and did much to animate
the hearts of Union men. He COM
manded one wing of HALLEoK's army in
the advance on Corinth, and was. placed
in command there on its evacuation BY the
rebels. sss
He is a: Virginian by birth, and was
tempted by the strongest offers from the
rebels, but remained true, to the Union
cause, and has proven one of our most
efficient officers. ), n.,

Radical Missourians In Washington


A dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
says: "The prospects for the Missouri
delegates are dubious, Judging from what
the President said on the topics involved
in their address. He left on them the i'm
preston that he was not likely to give up
his support of SoHoFIELD. He told them
they were going faster in supporting his
policy of emancipation than he cared to 90
himself; and as to SoHoFIELD, he said that
he hadn't seen much to blame in him :;
that he had always obeyed orders, and in
particular he had always been prompt in
sending reinforcements wherever they
were wanted, which was more than he
could say of some other Generals.

"A citizen of Cleveland, East Tennes-

knowing what he states, says the rebels

Buckner, 10000 under Breckenridge, 21,-

Chattanooga, and utterly destroying Rose

the courthouse, where the draft was In
progress. They were armed with knives,
heavy spoons, and other kitchen imple
menls. The boy who was turning the
wheel was raped over the head and knuc-
kles, and drawn from his post. The Pro-
vOst Marshal, BOlenius, demonstrated with
the intruders, when he was somewhat
roughly handled by the Amazons5 and beat

overturned by the women, but no papers
were destroyed.
Toward noon the women were Joined by
lsrEe numbers Of men, and a general riot
seemed imminent Several fights occurred,
in one Of which Officer Baker was severely
beaten. The Mayor read the riot act, and
the sheriff enrolled posse Of two hundred
men. Order was sufficiently restored by
three o'clock to permit the resumption Of
the draft at that hour.
