after al but little exercise at the game of throw

We gather from all the reports and correspond

having invited Mr. Greedy to a conference init
mated to him thatif safe conduct could be granted
them to Washington for conference with Lin
coins government, something might come OF it,
but made no propositions whatever Lincoln
responded, as mentioned in our last, that any
one coming authorized to propose terms, and
willing to accept Of the entire abolition of slave
~. could have safe conduct Which was re-
lected, and the matter dropped The whole
thing inures to the benefit of the Peace Demo
Gratis in their electioneering against Lincoln, as
it manifests his determination to pursue the war
for the purposes of abolition, and not to restora
the Union. 1t may have been designed only for
that, or may have been serious Trial Of Eincolns

sire the public to acknowledge the merits of

their just due.
Therefore take pleasure in mentioning as
worthy of the highest praise Capt. II. o. Bog
CESS, quartermaster at this place We lately
made visit through the different workshops
under his charge and were astonished to find
how much had been accomplished by him in so
short time, with the most inadequate means
Every thing, even the construction of his ma
chDcry, had to be made from the crudest mate
rial. involving great labor and delay Never
theless in the short space of two or three months
be has an establishment OF workshops scarcely
excelled when We had access to Yankee land for
all our machinery and material We NAV not
properly speak OF the extent of the work. or
the amount produced. Suffice it to say that
Capt. Boggess is accomplishing as much as any
officer in his place could possibly do.
We were struck with the reflection that the
Southern people have only to turn their attcn-
ton to machinery and they would excel the
Northern people as much in that as they have
done heretofore in everything else. Whether
that be desirable hereafter US a matter of politi-
cal economy, is not so certain. We confess 30
a fear of great manufacturing centres.

The INVASION NoRrn-Upon the outside
will be found an account Of the burning of
Chambersburg, taken from the Chicago Times
of the lst We have since received the paper
and CLEAN further items.
They say that the Confederate forces which
took Chanbersburg are under McClausland.-
They crossed high up the river in the vicinity
of Hancock. They passed by Williamsport and
Hagerstown. Dispatches from Harper's Ferry
of the previous day stated that the enemy lad
fallen back from the Potomac towards Winches-
ter. AT that time the raid on Chambersburg
was not expected During the day on the 29th
the citizens of Chambersburg received news of
their approach. The merchants and business
men commenced packing up their stocks, and
by 10 O'Clock at night the most of it had been
removed The rebels were met near Mercers-
burg by small party of troops from Carlisle
barracks, who were beaten back, and at o'clock
on the morning of the 30th Confederate force
500 strong entered the town The rolling stock
of the Cumberland Valley railroad, together
with vast number of colored fugtives were
taken to Harrisburg, where they (the fugtives) }
were huddled together on the heath in a deplo.
rable condition
Meanwhile, q party of Confederate cav airy,
| estimated at from 200 to 500, crossed the Poto-
mac below, near the mouth of the Monocracy.
and destroyed the telegraph lines from Harper $
Ferry. 1t was also reported that Gen. Breck-
inridge was making u raid towards Wheeling
and it was cOnjeetured that Longstreet was to
threaten Washington, whilst these raids were
| being made, and Early to hold the Shenandoah h
valley.
Later dispatches from Harrisburg and Cham
| bersburg of the 31st, say that the rebels de-
manded $500, 900 in gold from the citizens, and
in default of payment fired the public buildin gs
and the residence of Col. Mcclure They make
| great discrepancy in the estimate Of the rebel
force, as the last dispatches say 500. Another
dispatch says they fired the houses of the citi-
zeus in fifty different places and over 200 build
| inss were consumed. Loss largely over : / oOO,-

dispatch from Chambersburg says the order
was only given to fire tie courthouse, town hal =
and bank buildings. 4 strong breeze spread

b'ls left along the st. Thomas road TO McCon-
