sss The Chamhersburp ReDositOrU {

n9-The ChamberSburg Repository
publishes an article showing that it is not
the expectation or purpose of the Copper
head leaders to elect President of their
own kind, but that they intend to plunge
the country into anarchy and hopeless
ruin by preUsntiag the election of Pres
ident at all. This idea we believe to be
Justly founded. 1t is now obvious to
every man in his sober senses that the
Democratic" candidate for the Presi-
dency, let him be who be will, stands no
earthly chance of election by the people.
Nobody can name half dozen States
that are even likely to support the Cop
perhead nominee. The elections of 1853,
and those which have since occurred have
settled that point The only possible
game of the Democrats is therefore to
prevent choice by the people, ard thus
throw the struggle into the House Of Rep
rcsentatives In that body it would be
impossible for either candidate presented
to obtain majority Of all the States
There could be no election, and then
what next? What Executive after the
fourth of next March? Some ambitious
military leader would usurp the Presi-
Dental chair, and the whole land would
be rent and ruined by the strife of cou-
tending parties, The war in which we
are now involved by the deeds of traitors
would be heavenly peace compared with
what we may expect if there shall be no
popular election of a President. That
party which in Pennsylvania has declared
that its chief end and dpurposeis to"get rid
Of the present Administration" cannot
and does not expect to succeed at the
coming Presidential election. Lincoln is
to be ousted-after that anarchy and dis
solution. What citizen Qr household can
glance at such future without horror !?

BUTTER FIFTY CENTS A Pound :
What's the cause Of it? Speculation.
What's the remedy? Stop eating it, or
eat just as little as you can. Men are
growing wild in combinations and specu-
latlons. Those who never earned dollar
in their lives by the sweat Of their brows,
are now IN market buying up everything
that is wanted to sustain man and beast,
with the view of getting rich. This can
not lost forever. There is day of reck-
oning coming, when those who are now
purse proud, and engaged in grinding the
face of the poor, may beg for crust of
bread to stay their craving appetites =
There is such day coming and woe unto
spectators and extortioners !-AlJany

NEW ENGLAND SHoEMAKERs.- Lieut..
Col Farnsworth, of the lst Connecticut
cavalry, in The course of a speech made
at Norwich Conn, the other evening,
narrating some of his experiences in
Richmond, stated that at one time there
were 800 New England shoemakers on
Belle Island, and that, although at that
time men were dying on the island from
starvation at the rate of 40 day, every
one OF them refused, Indignantly, all offers
of extra rations and other privileges, if
they would work for the Confederacy.
They would stay there and starve before
they would ever draw stitch or drive a
peg for the rebel Confederacy.

COUNTERFEIT TREAsURY NoTEs.-
Counterfeit 500 Treasury notes are in
circulation. On the counterfeit the num-
Der Of the note is larger and less brilliant
in color than on the genuine. The im-
print of the American Bank Note Com
pany at the top is larger, the double rule
running from it is heavier, and the ter
minal curve is twice as large, while there
is a diagonal shading it at the point Of the
imprint with the rule which does not ap-
pear in the genuine. On the right END
of the back Of the bill, 100" in the cir
cles are inverted, thus, COOL" The out.
side circle of the 100 in the lower left
corner Of the genuine, touches the lower
border; in the counterfeit it does pot
come within a sixteenth of an inch The
inducement to counterfeit the National
currency is very great. STATE bank issues
rarely amounted to over two hundred
thousand dollars, and the fOrger was lucky
if he could get rid of more than two thou
sand dollars worth Of the bogus notes.
But every denomination of the greenback
currency circulates in the amount of tens
of millions, and the forged notes if we'll
executed can float in this vast-ocean of
paper without being noticed.

THE REBEL DEAD AT GETTYSBURG
From evidences developed to the work
nen and others engaged in removing the
dead bodies Oh the battle. field, they are
DOW fully convinced that lot less than
seven thousand rebels lost their lives in
this conflict, the bodies of whom are still
there. In one space of three acres were
found three hundred and TWENTY-FIVE
Ccnfederates slain, and elsewhere, in a
single trench, two hundred and fifty
more \ considerable portion Of the
battle. ground is likely to be ploughed up
in the spring aud summer, by farmers
owning it, preparatory to planting corn
and other grain. As matter of course,
the Confederate graves must be obllter
ated, and the heachcs which now iudi,
cate their burial places. There is a
strong desire with the people, in respect
to humanity, to have these codes, though
of the enemy, respectfully and decently
put away, in some enclosure where they
may not be disturbed

Great sanitary Fair In Phila.

The first grand fair for the benefit of
soldiers was held at Chicago, and we see
it stated the real profits were 100000.
Cincinnati followed, with 100000
Boston With large sum-Brooklyn with
S400 ,000-and New York is now receiv-
ins additional thousands per day for the
same object PHILADELPHIA IS PRE-
PAIRING TO ECLIPSE THEM ALL. As the
nursing city Of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, and as foremost of the great
cities for Liberty and Union, her intelli-
gent citizens feel that it becomes them to
outdo all previous efforts for the cause,
and to provide immense stores for the
benefit of those who may suffer from
wounds, disease, or hard tolls in the COM
ing contests The Rebels may do their
worst fighting in their last extremity
just as other pirates do-and it is there
fore wise not only for the Government 70
provide large, well-appointed armies, but
for the People also to have in readiness
the numerous comforts, necessaries and
deicacles which private hands can best
supply and apply.
Philadelphia is moving in this matter,
and her best citizens are devOting them
selves to the work Of realizing the great
est amount of voluntary treasure from
this State and New Jersey and Delaware.

general committee; Caleb Cope, Treasu.

A SPIRIT KIss.--The Pawtucket Gazette
relates the following pleasing incident of
spiritual communication
An enthusiastic believer, relating to
skeptic the spiritual performances to
which he could testify, among other things
said that on certain occasion the spirit of
his wife, who had been dead several years,
returned to him, and seating herself on his
knee, put her arms round his neck and kiss
ed him, as much to his qualification as she
used to when living.
You do not mean to say" remarked the
sceptic, " that the spirit of your wife really
embraced and kissed you?"
NO, not eractly that" replied the be-
lever, " but the spirit took possession OF
the body OF female medium, and, through
her, embraced and kissed me-"
We presume that believers arc often as
willingly deceived as this man was.
A PUzzLED JUsTIcE.-A man named Josh
was brought before n country squire for
stealing hog, and three witnesses being
examined, swore they saw him steal. A
wag, having volunteered his council for
Josh, knowing the scope Of the squire s
brain, arose and addressed him as follows:
May it please your honor, can estab,
lish this mans honor beyond the shadow OF
doubt, for have twelve witnesses who
are ready to swear that they did not see
him steal it,"
The squire rested his head for few mo-
ments, as in deep thought, and with great
dignity arose, and brushing back his hair
said:
IF there are twelve who dd aoi see him
steal it, and only three who did, discharge
the prisoner
