THE UNION RECORD..
Served Him Right.

I2lll a4G0l.
A gentleman Just arrived from Ha-
gerstown, yesterday furnished our re-
porter with an item going to show the
spirit and temper Of the invading reb-
els. When the rebel horde appeared
in front of Hagerstown, one of its prin-
clpal citizens undertook measure 10
which he looked for the preservation Of
his property. His barns were full Of
grain, his pastures were dotted with
sheep and cattle, and forty well-fed
swine were gathered in the rear Of his
corn cribs. He was emphatically a
man Of plenty and substance. When
the rebels came he walked out to their
lines with damask linen napkin affixed
to his cane. The first rebel soldier he
encountered he requested to show him
the commanding officer. He passed
under guard to the object Of his search.
General" said he, Il am a warm
sympathizer with the South. | heart
lily wish success to this invasion and to
your forces. My object in seeking you
out is to ask that you and as many of
your staff as viii accept the invitation
will make my house your headquarters
during your stay here. My house is
yonder upon the hill," pointing to q
fine old-fashioned mansion, with modern
additions, with long row Of hay ricks
on the back ground.)
''You sympathize with the South, did
you sayP' queried the General.
Very earnestly, sir, and always
have done so."
The rebel General beckoned to a
Sergeant who stood near him. Bring
a musket for this man. said he, "and
take him into the ranks"
The ''sympathizer" opened wide his
eyes, but stood mute with horror. He
couldn't see it" in that light. He
stammered out at last, "Oh, | didn't
mean that, General. | don't want to
fight. | want to entertain YOU and
your staff while you remain here, and
to show You that I am your friend.'
The rebel General contemptuously
informed him that they interpreted
sympathy only in its literal sense. He
had claimed to sympathize with them,
and they intended to avail themselves
of his good will. A string of wagons
was at once tro.ted on, driven to the
sympathizer's property, and in the same
afternoon he was stripped of every
thing. The rebels carried off all his
cattle, sheep, hogs and smaller live
stock, removed all his hay and wheat
crop, leaving his barns utterly empty.
The cavalry horses were turned into
his growing oats, and his corn was cut
for fodder for the stock while on the
march. The sympathizer was detained
until all was done, and was then re-
leased with thanks for the sympathy he
had manifested. Many like him in
Maryland are now reaping the fruits of
their sympathy. When men will take
the suckers out Of their pumps to pre-
vent Union soldiers from drinking the
water, their sympathy with the South
deserves some such recognition as that
given to the friend of the rebel cause
above referred to, who came to grief at

War on Inventors.

ne inventive powers OF the Amerl-
can people have been particularly active
and successful since the beginning Of
the Rebellion. Much of that genius
which previously run to waste upon at
tempts to construct flying machines,
navigable balloons and machines fit only
for dusty corner in the Patent Office,
or which was exercised in creating reap
ers and threshing machines, patent
churns and bee-hiyes, have turned TO
military and naval questions and neces-
sites, and in not :ew instances taught
the world new lessons. The monitors
reyolutionized naval warfare. The bat
tie between the kearsarge and Albania
has initiated another revolution, in our
opinion, by showing that heavy guns at
short range in a sea fight, are altogeth-
er superior to rihed cannon, fought at
long range. This, however, can scar
cely be called an invention, it is only a
discovery. But what We started out
particularly to allude to was not so
much the monitor as a harbor defense,
as the torpedo, which has become
formidable instrument ike the earth
quake, mysterious, sudden, coming un-
announced, giving no time for retreat,
no opportunity to surrender, and by the
indefniteness Of its location, approach
and power, often creating a fear as eff
cient for the defense Of harbor or river
as would be its explosion under an at
tacking enemy's keel. How far this
fear has kept our feet from Charleston
and other places, it is impossible to
say; but We believe it has been more
formidable than the torpedoes them
selves. These defensive appliances
have grown to their present formidable
state from very small and harmless be-
glnnings. The rebels in the first months
Of the war almost exhausted their sup
ply Of powder in the loading of torpe-
does. The Mississippi River, above
Memphis, had about as many of them
as Of snags and sawyers. Our fellows
soon got used to them and fshed them
up, as Virginian would oysters in
Hampton Roads. They We're general
ly innocuous, wouldn't 90 off, only as
they were carried, and served chiefly to
diminish the Rebel ammunition. But
three years of war and experiment
have done much, even under the rule of
rebels, who before this war were gene
rally considered incapable of mechani-
cal invention. War and hard neces-
sity have driven them from leisure and
cotton to a study of the arts which they
had previously thought only fit for
Yankee notice. They have brought
the terrible subaqueous torpedo to
state Of efficiency capable of sending
ship Of any size to the bottom more
suddenly than went down the Royal
George with ''Kempenfeld and his three
hundred" If the war should continue
few Years longer, the South will learn
that there are occupations for gentle
men to follow besides "scraping cot
ton, and that man may apply himself
to works Of wood and iron without dis
gracing father or mother or the char
acter of gentleman. Invention is the
faculty which brings man intellectually
nearest to Gods. +. CaN.
