nicipal authorities, andv.they: were
informed what would be the result
of failure or refusal to comply with
it." On page 50 he says: con the
9Oth of July McCausland reached
Chambersburg and made the demand
as directed, reading to such of the
authorities as presented themselves
the paper sent by me-" Colonel w.
Z. Peters, who commanded one of
the regiments in Johnston's brigade,
when the burning commenced, come
and asked me if the burning was be-
ing done by my orders. l showed
him the order of Gen. Early and he
was satisfied, and proceeded to carry
ont the order as was being done by
other regiments ofhis brigade. In this
expedition the troops passed through
more than one hundred miles of hos
tile territory, executed all orders that
were issued with promptncss and
regularity, and never have heard
of any complaints of acts unauthor-
lied by their. superior officers. l
think that these facts will show that
this entire expedition was planned
and executed in accordance with
the orders of superior officers of COM
petont authority to order it,and more
over, that it was an act of retaliation
perfectly justified by the circum-
stances, and was at all times kept
clearly within the rule governing
civilized warfare.

Can any one tell why it is that the
soul of young and pretty woman is
more dear to the average deacon than
that of a squint-eyed woman with
wart on her nose? When we have
seen young and pretty woman go
up to the altar, we have noticed
half dozen dcacons knock their heads
together in their oagcrnoss to whiS-
per consolation to her bruised spirit.
But when the squint-oyed woman
knclt down only one dcacon went
near her, and he merely touched her
on the shoulder and said, "Pray for
