Bad Faith Is Charged.
Mr. Morgan said that he had only con-
scented to The enactment of the Spooner
bill because of his confidence in the good
faith of the president in enforcing the
law and now that the president had not
seen fit to keep that faith it remained
to be seen whether the senate would sup
port him In that position. The president
had, he said, completed his campaign
against the Spooner act hy having Mr..
Hay sign a treaty with somebody from

that conveyed in cabiegram from q

MT. Morgan expressed the hope that

the president he said he never sleeps

he sometimes c.oses his eyes to what Is

He continued that Colombia had had II

Disaster Is Predicted.
Indeed. he said our course there had
been such that it would bring the cen

he predicted that the immediate result

The Consequences would be such that

Guided to treat them politely, and to do
nothing, to excite their passions or stir
up their enmity, yet any one could see
that they were still regarded as rebels

Of doors and invitations to partake Of
our Hospitality such as greeted our sol
diers on their arrival from Rowlesburg.
Although the bearer Of the flag Of
truce informed our citizens that private

amount 81 property was destroyed, some
sold to ,Snprincipied persons and more
taken away. But nothing better was
to be expected of such traitors and reb-

returned in the direction Of Sforgautown.
At Morgantown many Of the citizens had
returned, and several people from the
country had come into town and were

hands, and commenced gathering the
horses.-The most of the people got of
the streets in a hurry, supposing that
the rebels were intending to shoot, burn
eonscript, &c. In a few minutes it was
discovered that they were after horses.
They canvassed every street, searched
every stable, and at the sound Of the
bugle assembled in front Of the Bank,
and left town within Is minutes after
they had come in, with about IS or 30
horses. Soon afterward the whole force
commenced coming in. They occupied
the town and surrounding country during
the day, and they conducted themselves
very much as on the day previous, only
on a more extended scale. The General
put guards over the drug stores and the
bars, which were kept there as long as
he stayed in town. Toward evening he
left, and some 200 who stayed behind
succeeded in getting whiskey and some
of them got quite merry. One soldier

would not be wholly done away. For
the American soldier, like the American
citizen, claims and exercises his great

than in any other army was attention
given in the Spanish American camps to
the moral and religious training Of the
soldier Y. NJ. c. A., and chapel tents was
attached to almost every regiment and
the good accomplished through the COM
forts furnished the preachers and re-
ligious meetings held among the sol
diers eternity alone can estimate. Such
men as D. L. Moody, Gen. O. o. How
ard, May Whipple and many other ear
nest Christian workers labOred with
great zeal in these religious meetings
and the soldiers processing 10 turn to
the Christian life were numbered by the
thousands.
The love of the soldier for music was
also well illustrated. Almost every ev-
eninS after the days work was done the
soldiers would entertain themselves in
the growing dusk by singing. These
impromptu open air eoncers would be
made up of choruses ranging from n
dozen to 500 voices. The concerts would
open with the lighter songs Of the day.
"A Hot Time in the Old Town" was a
prime favorite. Patriotic songs usually
followed in which state pride was often
manifested. At Columbus, Ca, the First
West Virginia infantry was brigaded
with the Third kentucky and and One
Hundred and Sixties Indiana. The In
diana boy would sing ''The Moon Shines
Bright Along the Wabash" The Ken
lucky boys would sing my Old Ken
lucky Home" and the West yirginians
would respond with ''The West Virginia
Hills"
Almost invariably the concert would
close with some selection Of religious
nature. Then it was that the choruses
would swell out fullest and the grand
est Nearer Ny God to Thee, Rock
of Ages and Jesus Lover of Ny Soul
would ring out upon the still night air
with much earnestness upon the part
OF the singers.
This musical concert would continue
until the beautiful musical taps would
sound its signal to prepare for bed and
lights out" brought darkness and rest
to the camp. The volunteer soldiers

April, 1868. The story of the raid
j. briefly told in the Monitor, of May G,

1t the time. It is a very modest and
painstal<ing account, indeed and when
one thinks Of the extras, Aaring head
lines, and columns upon columns Of end
less details such an event would call
forth nowadays, the changes in newspa-

it word for word below:

To some It may seem inexplicable that
at the call Of country 50 many Of the
youths Of our land, as If following the
magical 'Pied Piper" should rush to
the camps and become soldiers. When.
however, we turn the pages Of the past
and review the immortal deed of the
fathers which has made our history Go

can only conclude that the ready re.

of oru youth today. but marks him As
the worthy son Of the brave father Of

portunity to make as glorious 9 name
for himself as has ever been won and
told in song or story. Then, too, no
one who has ever experienced, or even
witnessed, the "pomp and circumstance
Of war need be told Of the fascination
all these things have for the soldier. The
stirring camp. the soudiug bugles, the
braying mule all add their quote to this
very strenuous life. The daiIy-drill with
its lines Of men standing statuesque or
wheeling and turning in graceful motion
all working together as The perfect parts
of a complete and well-Oied machine un.
chine under the control Of a master
mind, the social side of camp life, the
common mems stories and songs around
the camp fires, the conradeship which
arises from close association with tent
mate or friend. all contribute their share
and serve to draw men away from the
peaceful pursuits of life to the tented
field. In addition to all this must be
considered the proper pride the high and
lofty feelings of patriotism which leads
even the humblest private to believe he
is directly contributing his strength and
manhood 10 the support of his beloved
country. Dreams of heroic deeds in
which the soldier may be principal &C

May the time never come when a sor-
