the public, with appropriate exercises. This

was empty. Over it the missiles were poured
into the building, aud on it lay at least doz-

Wars Devastation.

What lamentable condition of things ID fur
nished to the world, to the humane and civil
lied Of every land, in t ne brief sentences OF
Gen. Phil Sheridans despatch TO the Secreta-
ry of War, dated the 7th. lie says
81 have destroyed over two thousand barns
filed with wheat and hay and farming imple-
ments: over 70 mills filled with -four and
wheat have driveT. in front of tho araly over
four herds of stock, and have killed and issued
to the troops not less than 5000 sheep, This
destruction embraces the Luray Valley and
Little Port VALLEY, as well AS the main valley.
'.Lieut John r. Meigs, my engineer officer,
was murdered beyond Harrisonbur-, near Day
ton. For this atrocious act ell The houses
within five miles were burned.'
Probably for the same extent Of country
there was not.a more productive, fertile and
beautiful region than the one here mentlonedb
which the General has so thoroughly rsvaged,
wasted and destroyed. We are fast making
desert and calling il peace but will 1t bring
back the old Union will it restore the fra
ternal feeling, that.lovo of country and its flag
which animated but few years ago great
peoplc ? We fear not. Over The ashes OF
desolated homes, and the wreck and ruin
spread before them, rebels do not tanely lick
tie hand that strikes, but driven back, exiled
from the scenes of happy days, they cherish
their sutferings, their humliatious, their wrongs,
and labor for revenge with all the energies and
powers Of body and mind given them by then
Creator. Have we not had enough OF thl:

Aiming the Slaves. %

I There is no longer room to doubt that the
Southern people are a5out7to lIberate and arm
| their able-bodied slaves. The Richmond En-
qauer, JEFF, Davis organ, recommends this
course, and it is approved by SIX rebel Cover
nors, who lately met in council, and by q sew
enth, in letter on the subject. The South
contains 100000 of slaves, of whom one
fifth or one-sixth are fit to bear arms. This
measure would secure them 100000 soldiers.
Abolitionists surely cannot deny that ne
groes viii fight, and the rebels are beginning
to agree with them. But viii they fight for
their masters? History proves that slaves
have always done so eyen without being iber-
ated but if freed and rewarded with land, as
the rebels propose, they viii undoubtedly de-
fand the soil of their nativity and homes. The
mastering of slaves into the rebel armies win
not only dspe another Abolition deusion, but
expose the folly Of employing negroes on our
side, when tAe rebels have at least Eve times
the number at their command, ~.,.-
But will the rebel masters consent TO sacri-
fec 80 much property OF course tliey-7yilI,
for under Lincoln's manifesto ''te whom il
may concern," they are bound to lose their
slaves if they return to the Union, and under
the policy Of the Abolition Congress the re-
nsinder of their property viii be confscated.
1t is their interest to sacrifice part Of their
property TO save the rest, ana as their passions
suggest the same course, they viii doubtless
adopt 1t.
But if the slaves are taken iato the Armies,
who viii till the soils Any one who has trav-
elled two miles over Pennsylvania ground vitA-
in month can furnish the answer from what
he has seen among ourselves, tue women, old
men and children, white and black
And if these untamed negroes arc mustered
into the rebel armies, and the hurdes are pour
ed upon your piains Farmers of Pennsylvania,
remember the burned and 5lackened VALLEY Of
the Shenandoah
