TIME Sfffl O O U S> mmm§ ©OB) <§® ^gaisg ^g^ fl^D ®ii In the issue of the Advocate of July 17, 1863, there is the official report of General Banks of the fall of Port Hudson. He says: "The Mississippi is now opened. I have the honor to inform you that the garrison at Port Hudson surrendered unconditionally this afternoon, July 8th. We shall take formal possession at ? o'clock in the morning." Mrs. M. A. Shealey, who was one of the leading merchants in these parts in those days advertises Palmer's Celebrated Dandelion Coffee, a beverage for general debility, dyspepsia, &c. Some of us remember it with nausea and disgust. Nothing could better illustrate the unreliability of the sources of news at that period than the following glaring account of the battle of Gettysburg from the ¦ ¦ dtrinnmij The PIANO of the Immortals .

What a sad awakening the Enquirer had. when it learned the truth: '' General Lee's magnificent, victory at Gettysburg has, doubtless, cost us very dear, as many of us will know too well when the sad details come in. At present we haVe only the great and glorious result—the greatest army of the Yankee nation swept away — trampled under foot, and all but annihilated upon its own soil—¦ the best part of Pennsylvania laid under contribution to sustain our army, and, in some small measure, make good our heavy losses; the second city on the continent open to our armies and already reckoning up the number of millions it must pay to ransom it from pillage in conflagration; our own city of Baltimore waiting its deliverance with a passionate but secret joy; and Washington, that foul den of thieves, expecting the righteous vengeance of Heaven for the hideous crimes that have been done within its walls. In Philadelphia, how the Quakers quake this day! In Washington, how the whole brood of Lincoln and his ministers turn pale—-how their knees smite together asXhey hear from afar off the roar of their grand Army of the Potomac rolled back in bloody rout and dismay, and see flashing through their guilty dreams the avenging bayonets of those they dared to call 'Rebels!' Ha! does their monstrous crime weigh heavy on their souls today? Mingling with the cheers that greeted the sweet perorations of their Fourth of July 'orators of the day,' do their ears hear the wail of the homeless and the fatherless whose houses they have laid in ashes, whose pride and strength they have laid low in the graves of a hundred battle-fields? Yes, they begin to feel that they were in the wrong; that there was some mistake somewhere; and for the first time they pray for peace. "But this is only their first! lesson. It is probable that our Peace Commissioners will have several other such to administer before the enemy shall be perfectly satisfied that there is no possible peace for him until he withdraws every soldier from the soil of every State, including Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware, and yield up to their lawful owners every town and fort he holds all around our borders. Cincinnati, for example, would, we are assured, burn well." In the issue of July 24th thei*e appears the following item: '' Dreadful Accident—A melancholy casualty happened at, Maryland Heights during parade on last Saturday afternoon, by which Captain Yellott, Company G, 1st Maryland Potomac Home Brigade, was terribly, and it is feared mortally wounded. The order had been given to stack arms, and was being executed, when one of the guns slipped and was discharged, the ball striking Captain Yellott full on the arm and shoulder, fearfully lacerating the parts. Immediately surgicai attendance was rendered. Captain Yellott is a brave and meritorious officer, and a deep sympathy is felt for him in this community. ''—Frederick Examiner. There is an interesting advertisement this week, and one that no doubt gave pleasure to the young people of the town: "Horse to Hire—The undersigned hereby informs the people of this vicinity that he has now what has been so long needed in this town—a horse to hire. Hiring in all cases to be paid in advance. — J. Alexander Parlett, Towsontown.'' On July 31st appears another item concerning Capt. John I. Yellott, who was injured at; Maryland Heights: "Capt. John I. Yellott—This brave young officer who passed safely through the late battle of Gettysburg, and who was so severely injured accidentally about ten days ago, we are pleased to say, is in a fair way of recover In a letter from his mother who it at Sandy Hook attending her noble son, we have the pleasing intelligence that he is improving, but it will be some time before he can be removed." Bail Renewed.—In the United States District Court on Friday last, John Merryman, of Hayfield, presented by the grand jury for treason, renewed his bail for $40,000. Messrs. Adam Kyle, Sr., John S. Gittings and Charles A. Buchanan entered severally and jointly in the sum of $20,000, and his own recognizance for the remainder were taken. The following editorial shows that the editor of the Advocate is in a better frame of mind this week. Gettysburg and Vicksburg have been a tonic: "To Our Union Friends.—At no period since the breaking out of the present wicked and unholy rebellion, has the Union cause looked half so bright and encouraging to loyal people as at the present moment. The glorious victories achieved by our army at Gettysburg, the fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, besides the numerous other smaller, but no less important victories in the ROBBINS-BUICK, INC., 21 E.

Every man who has left within him one spark of Unionism should arouse from the lethargy in which sundry acts of our Government may have placed him, gird on his armor and go to work in the cause, so that whilst he may not be entitled to full credit in consequence of the numerous shortcomings on his- part, in the way of giving full support to the Government, or of the harsh sayings made use of whilst excited from any acts of the Administration, he may at least be in at the close of the hunt, when the death knell of the rebellion will be sounded. To those who have remained steadfast in the cause through good and evil report, to those we can only say, leave nothing undone to rout every vestage of treason in your midst, then and not until then, will you have done your whole duty." The defeat of Morgan, the great Confederate raider, is featured in the war news this week, the head of the article being: "The Great Horse Thief Captured—His Whole Command Prisoners." General Shackelford, in announcing the engagement says: '' By the blessing of Almighty God, I have succeeded in capturing General John H. Morgan, Col. Clarke and the balance of the command.'' One of the most interested of the readers of this "Old Time Stuff" is Col. George W. Seipp, the venerable crier of the Circuit Court. .
