SCRAP o Recent History.


Ex-Governor Reeder, whose death, in Read
ing, Pa, has already been announced, was APP
pointed by President Pierce Governor of
Kansas under the belief that he would aid in
the ubiquitous scheme for bringing Kansas
into the Union as slave State, to "mantain
the balance Of power" between the North and
the South. But Gov. Reeder became thor
oughly Disguised with the atrocities OF the
Border Ruffians, and, failing to carry out the
programme of the slavery propagandists, at
pretext was found for his removal. Gov.
Reeder became convinced by his Kansas ex-
perience OF the thoroughly pro-slavery char
acter of the Democracy, renowned his allegi-
ance to the party and continued Republican
to the day ofhis death.

The Beauties of Southern Slavery.

The Philadelphia Press contains thrilling
description Of one of the evils of slavery, as
given by soldier OF the 10th Pennsylvania
regiment. The scene is four miles north of
Pamankey river, at the plantation of Mr.. An
derson Scott, the owner of one hundred and
fiftv slaves:
'Around the door were three women and
about half dozen children, from the wee baby
TO the young girl of fifteen or sixteen. Two
of the women were about shade lighter than
the quadroon, while all the children were
white. The third woman was apparently pure
white; her eyes were blue; her hair was brown
and straight; her features were entirely Am
erican-nothing to denote a particle OF negro
blood. In her arms she had a beautiful little
boy, about four years old, with fair hair and
blue eyes. This woman was crying bitterly
when We rode up. Thinking che was MEM
Der of the family, we tried to console her by
assuring her that Yankees made war upon
men, and not upon women. Can you imagine
how shocked we were when we were told that
this white woman and child were slaves. and
that the degraded mother was weeping lor
shame atEher degradation!
l asked one OF the women why she did not
bundle up and come along, now that she had
chance, with the rest. She said she had an
idiotic son in the house. who was sick, and
they could not go without him. | asked this
woman If she was the daughter OF the owner
of the plantation. She said she was We
went into the hut, and upon clean bed there
sat this poor idiot boy, white as am, with
brown hair. About this time Mr.. Scott came
in, the lord and owner Of all these ,chite people
whittier than himself. He is an old, shriveled-
up, niger faced, crooked backed, little spec
linen OF Southern chivalry-aristocratic as
king, and 'Virginian born asked the moth
er Of this boy If Mr.. Scott was his father.
You should have seen her blush as she answer
ed Yes The incestuous old beast! This
idiot son-the child of his o,cn daughter
father and grandfather to his o,ca children"

THIRD PARrsH.-A meeting OF this society
was held last evening to hear the report OF the
Ecclesiastical Council, in relation to Rev. j.
4. Walton. II was read by Mr.. Gould, was
very brief, and embraced none OF the points
Of doctrine, wherein the council differed from
Mr.. Walton. They only state he is not sound
in doctrine according to their view of the
subject, therefore could not Recommend his
installation. In other words, they could not
consistently, with their religious belief, extend
to him the right hand Of fellowship, and yet
they believed he was pious man, and hoped
he would become good and faithful minister
of the Gospel. For such a consummation they
prayed. The report would have been more
satisfactory to the meeting il it had pointed
out wherein they differed in opinion from Mr..
Walton. e
The question came up, what should be done
with the report? and many short speeches
were made upon it, but finally it was laid up
on the table 10 be acted upon at a meeting of
the church, regularly notified. Such report
is only advisory and not binding upon any
church and society, although the Congrega-
tionalists usually receive such documents with
great respect and generally abide by them
This is a novel case, for usually the councils
recommend an installation of the candidate,
and there the matter ends; but in this case
the opinion of the council differed entirely
from that OF the church and society, and the
question would naturally arise, whether the
church would receive such an opinion and give
up their own.
There was much feeling on the occasion,
but all behaved with the utmost propriety and
christian decoram. The great difficulty SEEM
ed to be how the opinions Of those present, in
relation to retaining Mr.. Walton, could be got
at Finally motion was made that the COM
mittee invite him TO preach tomorrow morn
ing, afternoon and evening. The vote was
taken by rising, and all the congregation rose
but two, we believe, and one of them half rose
up. There was was great unanimity of feel
ing manifested. There is evidently strong
attachment OF the members of the church and
society to Mr.. Walton, and the probability
now is that he will be their pastor.

The Ripht Shirt

An officer in the 9th Army Corps, in pri-
vate letter written at the Camp near Peters
burg, June 30th," enclosing nearly two
years subscription to our paper. says
Deprived as am here OF so many of the
comforts Of home, find the Daily Press an
old friend, coming 10 ne by every mail,
whether on the march or on the battle field,
and bringing news that ! could get in no
other way.
Everything is prospecting finely, and the
folks at home must not be impatient about
our taking Richmond, which, in due time
will yield to the demands OF our obstinate
Commander-in chief. Eight weeks ago we
crossed the Rapidan, have fought our way
here, and the army is to-day full OF rim and
courage, in fine condition and always ready"

THE CAMPAIGN OPENED !
Army of the Potomac Across
the Rapidan.

We feel authorized TO state, since IL cannot
now afford information TO the enemy, that the
Army of the Potomac has advanced towards
Richmond, and the struggle for the possession
Of the rebel capital is begun.
Our army moved on Tuesday night, and has
now crossed the Rapldan. The crossing was
made at Jacobs, Culpeper, GermsnIa, and
United States fords, and was effected without
serious opposition. Lee has been compelled to
fall back from the strong position where he
has held us at bay all winter. Whether he viii
make a stand this side Of the defences Of Rich.
mond VIC are not advised.
1t is the opinion of some that he will fight
at Chnncellorsville. Every hour may now
bring US news Of battle, but we are inclined
to the belief that it will be a foot race fol
Richmond.
The rebel capital will undoubtedly be nanked
and invested should Lees army occupy It's do
fences, and the country may reasonably hop,
that this time Richmond will fall.

THE CAUsE-ARREsT OF MISS ELLA
JACKSON.

TIE sudden death Of Miss Margaret Ann DuvAl,
two days since, late employee under Mr.. Clarke,
Superintendent OF the Bank Note Department, in
the Treasury Building, excited the suspicion Of
some Of her friends, as well as members Of the
detective forse, that her death produced by an
abortion.
All that we deem 1t proper to say at this time IL
that Miss Fila Jackson, very pretty girl who has
been employed by Mr.. Clark, has been arrested
upon the charge OF havirg accompanied dceeased
TO Philadelphia TO procure the abortion, aided her
in procuring medicines, and administered them TO
the unfortunate.
Suspicion points TO Mr.. Clarke and q Mr.. Hen
derson, one Of whom, from memorandum found
upon Ella jackson, and which came out In evi.
dcnce before the committee now examining into
alleged mlscoa aduet in ClATke's treAsury-note bu-
reAu supposed 10 be the principal persons guilty
of the completely which resulted in the death OF
Miss DuvAl.
As We go TO press we understand th-t officers
are In pursuit Of Clarke and Henderson. In the
meantime Ella Jackson, who 1t is alleged acted as
q sort Of Hgent for Clarke in obtaining a certain
class Of girls for employment In bank note cutting,
is under arrest at Justice Clay tons once, and At
| two o. ,loek she 10 to be examined upon q charge
| OF aiding aud Abettiug - Lewis In producing an
abortion upon MArg Aret Ann Duval.

deceased has been held to-day by Doctors RileJ
and one. Their testimony, announcing the re
suit will be given ,fore Justice Clayton this after

We refrain entering farther into this un nfortu
nate affair until the facts develop themselves b

THE QUOTA FILLED.

We announced on Tuesday that the quota Of
the District was filled all but twenty-five men.
We are happy to be able to announce to-day
that the balance, mustered In yesterday, have
been duly credited to the District, and the
quota is accordingly complete. The greatest
credit is due TO the city Bounty Fund commit
tee, and especially to Its chairman, Mr.. semmes,
for the prompt manner in which the fund has
been raised to pay the bounty and enable Cap
tain scheetz to meet his obligations to the en-
listed men. Captain scheetz has been exceed
lngly industrious In completing the difficult
work ASSIGNED To him.
