B66= The destruction Of Chambersburg
by tho rebels was a very great outrage, dis.
graceful to them and humiiating to u.s.
A disgrace and humiliation that might
have been saved US, il the Governor had
done his duty but which is penalty we
pay for our insanity in re.electing Curtin.
But while we repeat that the acts of the
rebels was burning disgrace and fragrant
outrage, without laii justification OF excuse;
yet there is nothing more disgusting than
to see black republican Editors, who gloat-
ed over the burning and sacking of the
town of Jacksonville, in Florida, and of
Little Washington, in North Carolina, ,and
Of Platte City ia Missouri, and of various
other places now assume such virtuous
Indignation over an act equally but no
more outrageous, than when done by the
Federals.

We, as men or Journalists, will be willing to
defend an outrage when committed by a
friend, or fail TO denounce it at the bid of
power. lie, justice be done, wrongs de.
nounced, rights defended, the union re-
stored, and peace proclaimed.

der the hand OF the commit ssoiners--fo- no
nsgotiator can be expected to put his name
to the terms he has to offer, until the ne
gotia,ion has been opened, until Il has been
begun--but there has been placed before
the pc ople of the North, unaushenticaied,
most obviously by the Commissioners them
selves, and not yet denied BY the presses
through which we are used to hear from
the Administration--on the contrary, sd-
mitted by them to be accurately stated
the terms proposed by the South for re-
construction rnd reunion. We give them
in the words In which we find them, ao-
companying the letters Of the parties to the
correspondence. They run thus:
"First. All negroes which have been
actually freed by the war, to be secured
in suoL freedom.
"Second. All negroes at present held as
slaves to remain SO.
Third. The war debt # both part.
to he paid by the United States.
"foWth. The old doctrine Of State
rights to be recognized in recopstruc,ing
the Union"
Whatever may be thought Of the propo-
sal 10 place the Confederate debt on our
Treasury books, here was tender Of me-
gotiation, which any man who loves his
country ought to enter upon with heart
full of thankfulness to God, but which is
scornfully and rudely rejected by the Pres
ldent, as if it was an offence to his own
dignity and an injury to us all. Here was
an offer to come TO terms, to make, peace
and restore the Union. The President re-.
fused to listen to them.
| He abandoned the position heretofore
announced and maintained by him,-he
added, of his own motion, and without
consultation with Congress, ,unconstitution
al conditions, and thereby prevented nego-
tiation, refused to reconstruct the Union,
discarded peace ; and "to all whom it may
concern, announced that this wsr shall
continue, and that until there is an "abau-
donment of slavery on the part Of the
South. 1t is now war to FREQ the mig
gers and we may we'll ask, in the words

The People Want Peace.

We greatly mistake public opinion, if
seven-tenths of the People of orr entire
community, are not lively In earnest for
immediate Peace. Lincoln has declared
the War, now devastating the land aud
filling it with desolation, blood and death
alone to be prosecuted for the "Abolition
of Slavery q Negro war. In view of
this terrible state Of affairs, il becomes the
duty Of all good people--,he friends of
whishmen's lives and liber.ies--to assert
and maintain their independence, for them
selves and posterity, by effecting and ear
lg peace, and restoring our bleeding coun-
Try to its wanted rest by changing its dss.
potic rulers.
Blessed are the Peace Makers for
they shall be called the children Of God

THE HORRORS OF CIVIL WAR.
The Torch and Sword in North
western Missouri
from 81. Joseph HERALD, (RepubhcaI


From passengers who arrived last night
from below we lcarn that Platte City was
almost destroyed yesterday morning by
the Federal troops. Not over half .he
houses were left standing. The Methodist
church q fine building, The Sentinel prn-
ting Office and the three story brick block
which it was located, together with mary
business and dwelling houses, are all in
ashes.
Once in possession OF the town, and q
sad scene of piilage and destruction com
menced, such as we hope never again TO
witness. Several Of the citizens were arres-
ted and taken to headquarters. Houses
were burned and pil!aged, and the heavens
for miles around were lighted with the
flames. Late in the night the fres con-
,inued, and again in the morning were re.
nowed. About two thirds of the town was
destroyed, but the Seminary buildings
were unharmed when we left.
At the time our forces entered the town,
they were told that there were number Of
men hid in the homphou.e, theu il flames,
having been fired by Thornton. in which
he had number OF guns. aid it is suppos-
ed that three of them were burned with
the building, and the bodies Of the two
dead gnrrrlllas were cast Into the flames
and al consumed. We near it estima.
ted that over Twenty men were killed be-
longing to the guerrilas,sn only one man
killed and 80 wound on h, part of
the attacking lo-ce
The fne residence Of DR. Thomas, liv
ing at the edge of the town, was in a
smouldering heap of ashes as we passed in
the morning, and it was reported that the
doctor had been taken out and shot. He
was an old man, bore o good character,
but it was reported that he had visited a
sick guerrilla, hence bis fate.
One Olvis, formilv of the militin, who
had joined the guerrilas at Platte City,
was captured, having his leg broken. He
recognized one of his captors, aud called
him by the name, aad received in reply /:
"Olvis, you are in id bad COMPANY
One of the party then held him up, and
another placed his carbina close TO the
prisoners head, fired, and the soul of o.
Wis was in the presence of his maker,
We have heard great deal of Rebel
atrocities, barbarilies, burnings and mur-
ders but we greatly doubt if there can be
found, amid all the horrors of this war, q

crime was, that as physician he had Wis.

Hey- We learn that on last Sunday
about two o'clock, party Of nine
or ten men claiming to be authorized to
arrest non-reporting-drafted men, came
10 the house Of man named Smith in the
apper end Of this county, and having ef.
fected an entrance inquired for the person.
of whom they were in search. They were
informed that he was absent and finally
after satisfying themselves of the fact, the
party left on the hunt Of him. IT is said
that the woman who was at the house rang
a bell or blowed horn, or both upon
the retirement Of the Lincoln Midnight
Raiders.
After leaving the house they passed in
a body up the road, and within mile
met three men, whom they Immediately
ordered 10 halt, with the threat to shoot
them. The reply was, ave play that
game too" and on she word fired. One
OF the nine fell, the eight discharged their
revolvers at the three, and then took to
the woods, leaving their wounded comrade
in the road. Aid was promptly awarded
him, and at this writing he is still alive.
These statements are reported as from
some Of the nine, for it is not known, or at
least we have not learned who were the
three men who were thus met and chal.
lenged on the highway. Doubtless the
parties mig ht have met and passed with.
out any collision, but for he threat made
by those lnea whose peculiar duties require
might, and sECREsY, and ARMS. The
npme of the wounded man we believe
is Robinsor--we trust he may recover, ,and
that this 6rst, may also be the last affair
