The Panies

The fight of the Pennsylvania farmers be-
fore lew scattered bodies of rebels, who
might have been easily beaten by a resolute
company of armed men, has produced seri-
GUS damage in the state The Harrisburg
Patriot says;
"The excitement in Cumberland York,
and other neighboring counties continues
on the increase, heightened by the reports
constantly being received of rebel depreda-
tions on the line of the Northern Central
Railway, and the advance northward of a
large of body of rebel cavalry. Yesterday
morning immense wagon cavalcades, con-
Quoted by panic-stricken teamsters, hume
rous droves ofhorses arrived from the wes-
tern side of the river, completely blockading
Front street for several squares north and
south, and Market street from the bridge 10
the railroad Most of the refugees come
firm York county, some from Cumberland
and Adams counties, and a few from
Maryland.
The hegira continued throughout the day,
one cavalcade following another in quick
succession, and passing out the various roads
leading from the city. We counted thirty
wagons loaded with hay; others were filled
with farming utensils, and not few with
household furniture. A gentleman, who
passed some distance UP the Cumberland
Valley turnpike and down the river to a
point near New Cumberland, came back
with a report that both roads literally
swarmed with teams waiting an opportun-
ity to cross the river.

wilkes on Gold GamBIing-Its cure..:
In the last Spirit of the Times, Wilkes
takes hold of the question of gambling in
gold in new way. The present exagger-
ated value of gold he ascribes to the eff
forts of Jews from England and the conti-
nent who, as agents of such firms as the
Rothschilds, are jealous of the financial
credit of the United States compared with
that eff the Rebels, and are, therefore, con-
spring together to ruin the currency of the
country and produce great disafectiOn
among the people by advancing the prices
of all commodities. The remedy proposed
by Mr. Wilkes, which is a bold one, and
which may yet be a popular one, is thus
stated
The only real use we have for gold at
present is for impOrtations and for duties !;
let us, then, reform our foreign policy, and
pass Non-Intercourse Act against all
foreign powers who are not ready to allow
US to revive our commerce by the with
drawal from the Rebels of belligerent
rights If those powers refuse, and we
are to continue 70 relinquish our COM
nierce through such injustice let US at least
make an offset to the outrage, and save
ourselves the vital drain which the one
sided magnetism is virtually inficting."
He continues to argue that if this is re-
fused, we can close our ports, make green
backs the currency of the country, raise
our taxes, and be independent of the out
side world. With great boldness and force
Mr.. Wilkes argues that we would be bet
ter of by such position, and the dam
age would fall, not upon US, but upon Eng
land and France
Although we are not yet prepared to
accept in full this position, we neverthe-
less regard it as embodying much good
sense and potent logic

How to rim up the Army.

The consequences of abolishing the
| Communication clause are already manifhsi
] i, a s-1.-sa-4-S splrIt OF recruiting such
as has not been witnessed for many
months. Convinced that there is to be no
let-up by the Government until the Re-
bellion is put down, and rallying from a
temporary dependency the work of en-
listing men is going forward with zeal
and energy that is a guarantee of large
additions to the army. The newspapers
from all parts of the country come freight
ed with glowing accounts of what is being
done to ill up the army. We're it not at
a season when there is so much demand
for labor in the country, we should witness
as energetic system of recruiting as the
country experienced in the fall of 1862.
People at first were alarmed at the idea
of repeating the Communication clause, but
they are now becoming convinced that,
unless we are ready to give up the strug-
gle, it was the wisest possible thing to do.
A liberal system of bounties will bring
forward lnvu enough within the next
three months to fill our armies up to their
full proportions. Not so, however, with
the Rebel armies. 1t is the testimony of
all who have returned from the South that
their armies have long since absorbed oil
the able-bedIed men In the South.
Let individuals and wards and town
ships, therefore, go to work There are
numbers of wealthy men in the city of
Cleveland who have not yet done their
duty; men who may be themselves phys
ically exempt or over age, but who are
rich and growing richer every day in con-
sequence of the war Every such man
should esteem it duty and privilege to
put man into the service.
Townships and wards should go to work
and raise, by taxation or subscription, mo-
ney enough to all up their quotas. While
all other cities are vigorously at work,
Cleveland, We fear, is slumbering yet
Steps have already been taken in some
wards, but the city is not yet aroused
There will undoubtedly be another call for
troops before many days. Let that call
not find You mapping, bat already at work
filing up the army.

Peace Proposals from ths Re bs1s

So late as the llth of October last the
Richmond Enquirer issued new propos-
ais for peace, which were in the following
words:
Recognition by the enemy of the in
dependence of the Confederate States.
'Withdrawal of Yankee forces from
every foot Of Confederate ground, includ-
ing Kentucky and Missouri.
dWithdrawal of Yankee Soldiers from
Maryland, until that state shall decide,
by free vote, whether she shall remain
in the old Union, or ask admission into
the Confederacy.
"Consent on the part of the Federal
government to give up to the Confederacy
its proportion Of the navy as it stood at
the time of session, or TO pay for the
same.
"Yielding up all preteusions on the part
Of the federal government to that portion
of the old territories which lie west of the
Confederate States.
San equitable settlement, on the basis
of our absolute independence and equal
rights, of all accounts of public debt and
public lands and the advantages ACQUIRING
from foreign treaties
These provisions, we apprehend, COM
prise the minimum Of what we must re-
quire before we lay down our arms That
is to say, the North must yield all; we
nothing"

them2 7ss . a.- --

FunernI Services Of the brothers Peel

FunerS.I Services OF the brothers Peck
The funeral services of Capt. Albert E.
Peck, Go, H., and Corp. Chauncy I. Peck,
Co. E. 55th Regiment o. v Y. 1. was at
tended by a largeconcourse of their friends
and fellow~citizens in a grove on Hartland
Ridge Huron county, Ohio, on the Sab
bath, the 26th day of june last.
Funeral services by tihe writer, from II
Sam, /, XXXLX. These two brothers were
Sons of Mr.. Philemon Peck, of Clarks-
field N said county; and solely from pat
riotic motives enlisted in the aforesaid reg
iment to assist in supplying the rebellion,
and perpetuating our free Institution
Albert, in the capacity Of Lieutenant, as
sisted in raising Co. E, in the summer of
1861 and subsequently, for meritorious
conduct, received captains commission,
and was transferred to Co. h, which posi-

Chauncey enlisted as private in Co. E,
in the fall of 1862. BE was soon after ap-
pointed Corporal which post he held at the
time he fell. He had relieved from his
superior officers a recommendation for
commission. They were present in nearly
all the sang1inary conflicts in which the
regiment participated, from the assault on
Fredericksburg to the bloody battle of
Resaca, ia, on the 18th of May, where
they both fell in the defense of their bleed
ing country, covered with glory and hon.
OF. ---- ..-..--
They had nobly done their duty as Amer
ican citizens, and on the morning of the
fatal day, they evinced premonition that
they should that day fall. They fought
brayely until near night, when Chauney
received the fatal shot and was carried to
the rear. His brother saw this, and ex-
claimed, 9AIy God My dear brother has
fallen" when he received his death wound
The last words of Corporal Peck were,
laTeH my wife that 1 died for my for my
country. Thus fell, almost at the same
moment, two promising young men; the
hope of fond parents, and respected and
mourned by all who knew them.
They were the victims-not so much of
this horrid rebellion, as Of the eryof peace,
peace, by the aiders and abetters of treason
at the north who, by their influence have
encouraged the rebelsto protraet this cruel
and useless war Capt. Peck was single,
but the Corporal leaves a wife and two
children to mourn his loss. ,= l.
After the remains of these noble brothers
were deposited in their final resting place,
Mr. Porter, Esq, who had charge Of the
procession, presented with appropriate re.
marks to the afflicted father the sword
worn by the late Captain. Here followed
a scene too deeply affecting to allow dis
cription. May God hasten the time when
this unholy rebellion shall be wiped out,
and peace be restored to our bleeding coun-
try. fH Z. s. VAIL.

southern view of Cavalry Raids.

The Richmond Examiner, of July 1st
ondeavors to extract little comfort from
the great raids that sweep around Rich
mond. The state of the South is clearly
exhibited in the attempt to show how BIT
ter the tyranny is, which prevails there
Hear the Examiner:
There Is another way, too, in which
raids bring with them a certain compen-
sation, at least in Western Virginia; they
discover and bring to light unexpected
granaries and stores of provisions hidden
in caves, literally in caves of the earth,
with which that limestone country
abounds. The prudent farmers had hid
den away those stores, to save them from
Yankee marauders, but from their own
Government and their own fellow citizens.
These are the suffering farmers who never
had anything when Confederate Quarter
masters, impressing officers OF purchasers
on Government account came round; they
had nothing to sell for Confederate mon
