HOME GUARDS.

MES Of mounted men and of iufautry, who
should be ready a, moments warning 70
INSET the invading fee, Capt Mosehy
among tie Rsbsl. has shoxn how much a
small but scii:e fosca may do among their
owu bills and vallies. 4 few companies
along all OFT Southern borders, alive to
every Rebel movement, confronting them
ct every advantage, and warning the peo-
pie of every peril, would be very useful,
nov, as we'll as would large armies to
meet ana drive back.
The burning of Chambersburg and the
general ravsging Of the land, show how
fierce the determination Of the Rebels to
inju,e Us if .. TO benefit them. If plum
der be their aim, these Home Guards
would be servioeable 10 aiding the reno
va Of valuable property. Should the
Rebels cross the Susauehauna or Juniata,
there are many points where small forces
could keep them at bay for time. 1t is
best and safest and cheapest to keep them
as far away as possible. But company
organizations, at central points in sll our
counties, seem very wise. They would
ansse. until the militia are organized, and
prepare for any uuisersal rising of our
people that may soon be needed. We
submit the proposition to all the earnest,
who would take timely action to forestsIl
danger or be ready for it.
There are returned soldiers who could
drill until the regular organization Of the
militia is effected. Ia Union county, there
could be one or more companies without
regard to size, say at Alvira, Uniontown,
" bite Deer Mills, New Columbia, Kelly
Y Roads, Lswisburg, Bufaloe Y Roads,
Fsrmersville, Mifiiinburg, Orxig's Mill,
Har,leton, Laurel,oo, White Spring, New
Berlin, Bsibl's, and Winfield. Think o!
it, young and old Revive the old mill
tsry spiri, of cur fathers, and be ready,
soon, to chas,ze the raiders who have SO
abused and insuited old Pennsylvania
If our State had been organized as it
once was, no Rebel f,g would ever have
polluted our soil. The sooner We "teach
our hands to fight" the sooner and tie
longer we shall have PEACE.

The Republican party and organs took
early, open, and earnest ground For the
Amendments The Democrats made no
fair and above board assaults a. a party
but failing to advocate, they have shown
want Of friendship for them and the vote
cast Against them in strong Democratic
localities shows the secret understanding
Most of the leaders circulated the false
hood that the 1T Amendment would allow
negroes. boys and foreigners tn vote-ani
their papers published everything they
could find against Soldiers, to prejudice
the people against them and their cause
Tickets AGAINST the Amendments were
issued from the Argus" and other Dem
ocratic offices, but none FOR them as We
are aware of. The Republicans printed
and circulated only tickets FOR the Amend
ments. Democrats only elcctioneered-
some of them most recklessly-acainst the
Soldiers right to vote. Thus Is our patry
most clearly on the record, on the right
side-the Democrats have allowed them
selves to be placed on the wrong side.
The vote is a third under last wears.
Lcwisburg and the three Townships it
adioins voted as follows:
For the Soldiers to vote 702

We hope our boys will be satisfied with
comfortable little majority of $50.
NELLY TOWNSHIP. in Union county. is
.,star' district When We last inquired
she had neither pauper, tavern, physician
or lawyer within her happy borders, nor
did she return one vote against the right
of the soldier to choice Of rulers.
Our friends in Hartley township were
certainly caught mapping. While - Of
them remained at home, thinking it ''all
right" the Cops rallied most Of their men
and secured , majority. But as there
were returned ) more votes than voters,
we are inclined to credit the correct vote
of old Hartley in the Soldiers favor. Such
error. as that, however-fye more votes
than voters names deserve scrutiny.

--latest News

Harrisburg has 20 news this MONDAY
noon
1t is alleged that Gen. Grant is institu.
ting rigid inquiry as to the failuer of the
well-planned assault upon Petersburg.
Last Thursday, the Rebels attacked
Gen. Kelly at New Creek, west of Har.
per's Ferry, bu; were repulsed with con-
siderable loss, the Rebels leaving their
dead sud wounded to the care Of the
Unionis!s.
A person from Charleston, Va. says
Imbodeu, Moseby and Early with $4,000
to 10000 men, were guarding their trains
up the Shenandoah Valley They bad
secured 100000 bushels Of wheat, and
impressed even boys Of Is into their
ranks.
/, is asserted that Gen Hooker has as
sumed command Of the Upper Potomac
force, and that Lee has forwarded North
par, Of Longs'reet's force.
Saturday afternoon, news at Harrisburg
was that the Rebels had left Hagerstown
for Shepherdstown, near one Of the Poto-
mac fords. 1t is thought they deem Penn
sylvsDia TO be assuming too determined
and beligerent an attitute for their safety,
but their movements are mysterious, and
our oDly security is an ADEQUATE FORCE
to clear the borders and give Grant fair
play.
Sunday afternoon, small Rebel force
came to HagerstOwn again.
From Atlanta.
On the 2sth ult, Gen. Ed. M'Cook,
with 1900 cavalry, sent out from Sher-
mans command, effec,uslly destroyed
eighteen miles of the railway towards Ma
ooo. They also captured a supply train
Of 500 wagons and their guard Of 500
men-but our men, drinking too freely of
the liquors they had found, we're assailed
by larger force under Gen Ransom.
Some 500 Of our men are missing the
others, With Gen. M'Cook, cut their wsy
through the Rebel force. They did good
service, but lost their prisoners and plum
der, and probably 500 men, through the
evil habi. Of drinking.
Mobile attacked-probably taken!
New ORLEANS, July collaboration
is received that on Thursday Admiral
Farragut bad passed Forts Morgan and
Gaines, which it was supposed commanded
the entrance to Mobile bay. The bonn.
bardment had continued three days sue.
He has six or eight iron clads
between the forts and the city, and his
success seems certain. Gen. Granger
commands the land forces, to occupy
Mobile when taken.

THE FRANKLIN REPOSITORY Office, in
Chsmbersburg, was totally destroyed BY
the rebels-all the presses, books, type,
subscription list and accounts; nothing
being saved. We are informed BY M.ssrs
Mcclure & Stoner, that as soon IS material
can be supplied, they will resume the
publication of the Repository, and also The
Old Flqg-a campaign paper that has at
tanned very large circulation. The sub
scription lists Of both papers With their
subscription accounts were destroyed.
Subscribers should at once inform NJ Clure
& Ssonefof their address, and the state Of
their accounts, and should promptly remit
srrearages and advance subscriptions, to
aid the publishers. In addition to their
Offices, both of them had their residences
burned, With all their furniture and per.
sonal efects-therebels not allowing them
to save their clothing. Mr.. StOner was
nred al IN his Own house for attempting
10 save the firm books, and the men who
burned MClurs's residence had special
orders that nothing belonging to him
should be saved.

ESCAPED PRISONERS IN CANADA "A
North Carolian, doubtless Col. Winston,
of Rockingham county gives an account
in the Greensboro Patriot, Of the escape Of
himself and companions from Johnson's Is
land, through Canada, Bermuda, &c. In
closing, be says:
Ut is estimated that over three hundred
escaped Confederate prisoners are now in
Canada waiting an opportunity TO get home.
70 the Confederates, one who knows would
speak, cheer UP. Our enemies are becom-
ing disorganized, $4,000 Yankee deserters
are now in Canada. AS to old regiments
re- enlsting it is all a humbug, Their treas
ury is failing; when this takes place soldiers
who fight under thousand dollar bounties
will not fight. Cheer up. God with the
weapon of right will conquer a glorious
| peace,
