Qua TowN.-The enterprising senior edi-
tor of the Hagerstown HAL paid our town
visit two weeks ago. While here he en-
plOycd his time proftably, aud since his re-
turn has given his observations in print
DECHERT is man of extensive heart, as we'll
as commanding person, and We hope to have
the pleasure of greeting him again in our
midst before great while. Here is what he
says about his visit to Charestown -
Charlcstown, ". Id-Last week, in COM
pnny with our better half" who proudly
boasts of sold jefferson" as the place of her
nativity, we visited our sister town across the
Potomac, Charl, stown. Landing at the Depot,
we were captured" by the tall editor" Of
the Spirit Of jefferson, who greeted US with
much warmth, and invited US to spend the
night with him. Accepting, we found our
tall" friend the proprietor Of bonnie wife
and some interesting children, and as frank
as his christian name would indicate. The
following day and part Of the succeeding one
we spent in this historical town, and had an
exceedin SIy pleasant time. At the Sapping-
ton Hotel, we diued, lodged and breakfasts
with Isaac Fouke, ESQ., who keeps this once
popular house just creditably as in the days
Of yore it was kept by Sappington. 1t is a
pleasure to sCjourn in family like that of
Mr.. Fouke's, for here are to be found the So
cal comforts. Mrs. Fouke has the name of
being one Of the best Of landady's, a name
she is justly deserving Of With the popu-
lar editor Of the "OId Family Journal we
supped and spent the evening. This family
represents in type aud spirit the "Old Vir-
ginians, in kindness, sociability and hospi-
taity. Much cvility and Kindness from the
citizens generally did we receive, and when
we left, it was with much regret that we part
ed with our old and many new-made friends.
Charcstown, as is we'll known had the fury
Of odd John Brown's spirit" spent upon her
devoted head. Here's where old John Browns
soul went marching from the sallows to the
other country The vials of wrath were
poured out for sending TIE old fellows soul
marching! Tie Jail where lie was confined
and the court house where he was tried were
demolished and are still unsi2htly ruins
Many private residences were burned or de-
strnycd. The tOTn was 4 wreck-malcc and
hatred had speut their fury when the war
ended. Now how difcreut Charlcstown is
bright and Frightening! Her people have
taken fresh courage, and sh, is fast building
up and becoming an important inland town.
Capital auI enterprise are locating here. aud
Machine Shops, Factories and Paper Mills |
have been started and are being started
Surrounded as she is with the finest producing
country that the Valley of Virginia presents
her agricultural resources ineXhaustible- !
she will continue to prosper and grow in i'm
por;ance rs her wealth is developed. Y !

w General Slocum, in his lect-
ure on "Military Lessons of the
War; tells the following story in
reference to the battle of Bull
Run: 6fs b6a ~ 57' .
''The influence of our officers
over their men, and the state of
our discipline, is best illustrated
by an incident which occurred on
the field in the heat Of battle. An
officer, who has since become very
prominent and well known through
out the country, was then in com
mand of a brigade on the right of
ourline. While riding overthe field
he discovered a soldier concealed
in a hole in the ground which was
of just sufficient dimensions to
afford him shelter. The General
rode up to him, inquired as to his
regiment, and ordered him to join
it at once. The man, looking him
full in the face, placed his thumb
upon his nose and replied, No you
don't, old fellow, you want this
hole yOurself.n

bune, a Conservative paper, says:
awe can testify to the fact that
red hot literature is not SO much
sought after in this section as it
was before the last Presidential
election. aEs sra
Sensational papers always mis-
represent, and, therefore, deceive
their patrons. Pomeroy's paper
has grown rich by pandering to q
sectional hate, and the South has
grown poor in the same way, by
cultivating the insane prejudices
that the war produced. aIeesa

TRUE INDEPENDENCE 10 lead
a truly independent life one must
live out of their own individuality,
guided by a conscientious and re-
ligious life, for how useless it is to
rely for happiness on .'the world"
If you would pass through life in
the easiest possible manner shrink
from nothing in itself virtuous
and rational. Yenerate that which
is inherently changelessIy right.
Release your mind from the tram
mels of conventionalism, and suf-
fer no other restraint npon your
acts than that imposed by con,
science and the Bible; so you will
insure a sweet immunity from
countless petty cares and annoy
ances, acquire an eyer-increasing
strength of character, and build
on a firm and durable basis that
inward respect for yourself, which
is incalculably more to be valued
than the changeful approval oi
artificial people. @

ABDUCTION OF LADIES II

ABDUCTION OF LADIES IN
DAY LIGHT.-A day or two since
the wife of a prominent andswell
known citizen left her residence
after dinner for a walk ON Wash
ington avenue. Being in search
of a particular house upon this
street, with the exact locality of
which she was unacquainted, the
lady proceeded rather more slow
ly than usual, scanning the num-
bers as she went along. While
thus engaged she noticed a car
riage a short distance in the rear,
whose movement seemed to keep
pace with het own. Surprising
that it contained some invalid
whose strength would not admit
of rapid motion, she thought moth
ing of the circumstance, and con-
tinued her promenade until she
found herself beyond the desired
point, and began to retrace her
steps. The street at this place is
somewhat secluded, and therefore
favorable for the internal plot
which now developed itself.
The carriage was stopped, the
door hung open, a man leaped
out, and seizing the lady, endeav-
ored to force her into the vehicle.
Although terribly excited and
alarmed, theintended victim made
a most vigorous resistance. Her
screams were stitied by the fingers
of the ruffian upon her mouth, but
she succeeded in snatching her
hands from his grasp and waving
a handkerchief. This signal of
distress and the struggles of the
parties attracted the attention of
two colOred men, who were just
turning corner near by, and they
Immediately rushed to the rescue.
On their approach, the seoundrel
released his hold at once, jumped
into the hack and was driven away
at full speed. The lady expert
enced no injury, except in a slight
ly disordered apparel and a very
bad fright. d a 22a aH
The ultimate designs Of the per
petrator of this outrage cannot, of
course, be certainly known, but
that such a bold attempt at alb
duction could ~transpire in open
daylight, on one of the principal
streets in St. Louis, is certainly q
most remarkable display of i'm
pudent seoundrelism.- st. Louis

NUMBER 3.

The FARMER ON THE SAFE
SIDE.-The farmer is apt to think
the professional man, or the mer-
chant, lives an easy and lpxuriant
life. In many instances their
families may do so; but with emil
nent and successful men Of law,
Or science the artisan or mer-
chant himself, such o suppOsitiOn
is a great mistake. There are
not under heavens broad canopy
amore laborious class ofmen than
these. Labor of body and of mind
are theirs, and that incessant. See
them early, late, in season and
out Ofseason-their whole enepgieS
devoted to their calings without
rest or intermission--and far too
frequently to the premature vast
ing of life itself. It is no wonder
that such industry directed by
good education (and by this term
education | mean the entire train
ing of the boy to manhood, in its
most extended sense,) and stiInn-
lated BY a. laudable ambition,
should lead to success. Yet with
all these appliances the labors Of
such men are often disastrous;
and if not so, after a life Of ankle
ty, their tolls frequently end with
but the means of a slender support.
Compared with these, the tolls Of
the farmer are light. Physical
labor he endures, it is true, and
Oftentimes severe labor, but his
mind is easy. He enjoys sound
rest and good health. He has
much leisure; in many cases more
than is for his good. He has
abundant time to discuss politics,
law, religion-eyeything, in fact,
that may interest or profit him.
