The Slave Market OufdOne--A
White Man Selling His Own

f9OhSs
Simmer and his followers may prate as
loudly as they please about "tle barbarism
of slavery" and Mrs. Stowe may rack
imagination to create q monster like tile
brutal Legree, but we had an exhibition in
this town during the examination of those
recently conscripted, which, for inhuman
and brutal barbarism, we defy any slave
market in the world to match. A father,
who had already sold one minor son as
substitute to the inhuman shamble, where
he fell a victim, appeared in our town last
Monday, dragging at his heels two half
grown, ill-shaped boys. r. :.
They were all the sons he had, and he had
contracted to sell them both as substitutes.
They had been bargained for by "loyal"
men. The smaller one, almost mere child,
was prospectiyely the property OF loud
mouthed and pestilent Abolitionist-a huge
beast of man, who stood six feet two in
his stockings and weighed over two hum
dred pounds. This intensely "loyal" and
patriotic" fellow, when his own son, a
sturdy, well-grown young man, enlisted,
followed him to Chambersburg, and brought
him back home on the plea that he was a
minor, and had enlisted without his fathers
consent.
Yet he is always full of war, and eager
for fighting so long as it is at the expense
Oh Cne DlOOd OF some one else than hlDlself
or his family. Being drafted, ,howowor, ana
wishing to lessen the probability OF such
misfortune Detailing him again speedily,
and impeled at the same time to save lit
tie money, he had bargained with brutal
father to pay less sum than three hundred
dollars for the body, the bones, the blood,
nay, more, the life of child. We defy
the whole South to furnish an instance OF
such disgusting 'dicker'' in human flesh,
or from among all the professional slave
traders, who have disgraced its soil, such
pair of monsters as these.
There was no veil of pretended loyalty or
stimulated patriotism TO conceal the naked
hideousness of this transaction. The father
was actuated solely by a sOrdid desire for
gain; the purchaser was moved by the
sneaking white-livered cowardice that for
babe him risking his own worthless carcass
in war, for the prosecution of which he
bowls daily and by the mean selfshness of
his nature which prompted him to make
cheap bid when bartering for human VIC
tim. A plot had been made up by the par
ties to this disgusting transaction by which
they hoped to deceive the Board.
The boys were made to lie as to their
ages, and represented themselves as older
than they really were. So immature and
youthful, however, was the appearance OF

What n Pennsylvania Veteran
Thinlks-COI.N .NIcCandless Declines
n Rrisadier. GeneraIship.
[From The Philadelphia Age. ]

Few Pennsylvanians have drawn and
used their swords i'm this war with more
credit than Colonel McCandless, of the Re-
serves, and few have left the service with
higher honor. He entered the army with
the Reserve corps in 1861, at a time when
such men as Mcclellan and Buell. and Fitz
John Porter led the Federal armies, and
the war was conducted with humanity, by
white men, and solely for the restoration OF
the Union. He led his regiment, and after
wards his brigade, on many field of hon
Urable combat, and always won high praise
from his commanders. In the ChickahOm-
my swamps, Colonel Nc Candless was among
the bravest of the many brave men who
fought for what they believed to be right.
Through the 'seven days" of awful battle
he was always active, always at his post,
ever gaining laurels for himself and his
troops. Through Pope's miserable cam
.paign-at Antitam, Fredericksburg Chan
cellorsville-under Burnside, Hooker, Nc
Clellan, Meade-no word, except in praise,
was ever uttered of the soldierly conduct
of the brave Reserves and their chivalrous
Colonel. And under Grant, at Petersburg,
they did their whole duty. Through all the
obstinate fights, and through disasters caus-
ed by incompetent superior officers, Colonel
McCandless with his Reserves fought on
till their time was up; and then, with moth
ing but high honor on their escutcheon, came
home as they had gone to war-Democrats.
Colonel McCandless's time was out, and as a
true man he came back to take his place in
the ranks of the great Democratic party,
resolved to restore the Government to its
ancient principles. He had promised to
fight until his term was ended and he did
it. When that term was up he sheathed his
sword. and like every man almost of his be-
loved Reserve Corps, resolved never again
to draw it in a war which had ceased to be
anything but an Abolition crusade. The
Government tempted him-they sent him a
Brigadier's commission but he sent il
back, and with it a letter which, in good
sense and high principle, cannot be eXcell-
ed. We print that letter below. 1t rings
of the true metal, and but echoes the scnti-
ment of Buell. and hundreds of others who
prefer the private station to gaining laurels
in war against the Consultation. For his
Just sentiments, for his sacrifice of a high
command, for his adherence, through peril
and temptation, to his ancient Democratic
faith, Colonel McCandless deserves the
thanks of every true man. Here is his let
ter:
