her head-gear on the post al the foot Of
her bed. Being awakened by some uDG'

herself up in bed, and seeing The unU'u'l

&S- Dor town was suddenly thrown
INFO a state Of excitement on Wednesday
last by The unexpected sound of martial
music-lhe once familiar airs OF fife and
drum. No one ing the meaning Of
it, the doors and streets were soon ,hrong-
ed to learn the cause. Blu, the curiosity
was only partially satisfied when told
that the sixty men marching in column.
were registered voters from Harper's
Ferry and vicinity, who were summoned
here TO appear and answer charges Of dis.
loyalty, preferred against them, before
the Board Of Registrars. But 10 their
gres. disappointment. as soon as these
men were known 10 be approaching town,
having been summoned 10 appear upon
tina. day. the Board Immediately adjourn,
ed until Monday the 18Th instant. After
this very unsatisfactory and unexplana'o'
ry news. and couple hours Of delay,
bringing no prospects OF hearing, they.
as good peaceabIe citizens, took their de-
parlure for home, quietly and in order.
Why The Board Of Registrars acted as it
did, no one can tell. Ii is bat justice
however TO slate that one Of The members
of the Board endeavored 10 recall meet
ing of the Board, but he being in the mi
nority, Of course his appeals were of no
avail. Such action certainly demands an
explanation. These men were summon
ed by the Board 10 appear upon that day
TO sustain their loyalty. Most Of them
were lsboyers, with families TO support,
who although scarcely able, lef! their
work and bore the expense Of coming
here 10 meet their accusers. Let not
men be put of in THIS manner, bat let
hem-maDy or whom served for years IL
the Union army-rtturn next Monday
one week, not al all discouraged. bui
more determined, ihal as loyal cinzcus Of
the United States, they will enjoy .bei,
rights and privileges.
