I reached here on Friday evening to fill several political appointments in the county; and, when I got off the cars, the telegraphic operator called me aside, and informed me that he had a report from Greencastle, of the rto the stupidity or want of energy of our military leaders, for they were advised in due season of the rebel route.

There are doubtless many vague rumors afloat respecting the recent raid of Stuart's cavalry into Pennsylvania. To the citizens of Chambersburgh, it became a stern realit

In all the bitter asperities of fractional conflict the character of General Lee as a humane and Christian warrior was ever unblemished and his integrity unquestioned. However the North and the South may differ as to the war, the heroism of both the blue and the gray will become the pride of all sections, and then the name of Lee must be linked with the foremost in American reverence. A. K. Mcclure. Philadelphia, Pa. Rev. Dr. B. M. Palmer. It may be regarded one of the compensations of all our suffering and loss in the late civil war to have given to the world, to be embalmed in its history, such a type of the ideal man as was Gen. R. E. Lee. Hence-forth, he belongs not to us alone, joyfully as we treasure his memory, but to the country and mankind, the great example of true manliness and of all human virture, equally great in disaster and defeat as in the triumph of s

He accompanied the family in the journey towards Washington, and was selected by Lincoln himself (see McClure's Lincoln, &c., page 46), as the one protector to accompany and guard him from the assassination that he apprehended so causelessly (Lamon's Life, &c., page 513), in his midnight passage through Baltimore to his first inauguration. He was made a United States Marshal of the district, in order (McClure's Lincoln, &c., page 67) that Lincoln might have him always at hand.
