Incidents of the Battle.

The battle is now over, and it is Scrip
tural to let the dead bury the dead, yet
there are incidents Of conflict which
ought not be passed over in silence.
l. Our MEETINGs-The meetings we
held over the county we're tolerably well
attendcd-they were good, but not what
they to ought to have been. We were
not furnished with lists of the officers and
consequently can not publish them
They were addressed as follows Rich
field, Davis and Guss; Mexico, Patterson
and Wilson; Oakland, Gass and Porter !;
Johnstown, Davis and Lyons; Thomp-
sontown, Davis and Guss; Nanwert, Ly-
ons and Weidman; Spruce Hill, Lyons
and Davis; MeCoysvilie, Patterson; Nc
Alistcrsviile. Lyons and DAVIS Waterloo,
Patterson Pcrrysvillc, Patterson and
at Red Bank. Wilson; aliflintowu,
a general conference. We close these re-
marks by asking the members of the Unit
on Party why it is that the coprerhcads
can get out to their meetings, twice the
crowd with half the trouble-are the
children OF the world who love slavery
aud treason, wiser in their day and gcaer-
alton than the children Of light who love
Liberty, Government and Law!
2. THEIR MEETINGs.-rhe Cops hela
a few open meetings in the county and
quite number of secret ones On Fri
day last they made their big effort. They
came to town from the country iu which
they called delegations, with banners. flags,
&c. They got up their procession and
wound around our streets until they passed
our Office some half dozen times, yelling
and hallooing for "Mac" like forty mad
bears with their tongues wide open and
mouths hanging out. They had after all
was told only l4O voters in the precision,
and yet finally after stretching on, their
teams and marching and counter marching.
the man who spsealated' on the county
funds rode to the head OF the procession
and declared amid the most horrible
oaths that they must dispcrse as they
could not find room to stretch out.
The Union citizens stood aloug the streets
and laughed heartily at their silly foolish
ness in parading lot of women and coun-
try babies through the rain and mud.
The man who wants the Post Office in this
town kept pacing up and down the street,
instead of attending his Church. This is
not strange, for it is now, one of the first
principles of demon-ocracy to forsake pas
tor, church, country, and God, rather
than their party. The old cubs daughter
was in wagon and showed how much of
lady she was by proposing three groans
for Guss every time they past our house.
Had she taken soap and washed her mouth
it would have been more to her credit.
Their great man Norttrop did not come
so they had no stranger but Rob Lanber-
ton, a poor creature from Harrisburg.
8. The FEMALE PROCESSION We
some of the Patterson women
are threatening cowhides, because we al
luded to. their marching our streets at an
hour and in bad company.
We did not give them half their dues
A set Of things in cripoline who behave
as they did ought to get fits. Several gentle
men were standing in front Of Mr.. Wills
Hotel as they passed, not saying word,
when these wod,d-bc ladies kept saying
clock at the niggers."
