There are few persons in the Slate of Pennsylvania familiar wiili the trulh, that the village of Ephrata, Lancasler county, W.IS converted, during the war of the Rev¬ olution, into the thealre of u,je oflhc most important and interesting events wliich took place in that period. Peopled by a pain ami unassuming denominalion of christians, wlio had chosen it as a suitable p ace for religious rctire.-nent, who assem¬ bled iii the yicmily of its green hills and peacef::! valleys for the e.xercise of their pious devotions, and whose object was more the-enjoyment of their christian privileges than theestahlishmp.utof a narno lorlhe admiralion of po.stcrlty; but little has been preserved from   the wreck of
lime to point out the important services Ihey have rendered to religion and their country.
The'traveller now visits that villago and finds uothing but tho relics of its former greatness, 'i'he houses devoted to the pur¬ pose of religious service, crumbling into ruin—every veslage uf lhe place, as orig¬ inally established, fading away forever.— At tbe time this village was fir.st settled, the surrouning country, cornparalivcly speaking, was a wilderness: the wild fo.K of the mountain had made his den on ils .very borders, and the gloom of the adja¬ cent forest wus only cheered bythe smoke of the wigwam, and the : occasional gleam of lhe Indian's council fire.
Tho principles of religion introduced into Ihis settlement, thougli somewhat pe¬ culiar, were strictly orthodo.x. They dif¬ fered from other similar associations only in the observance of the Sabbath, and their sentiments upon the subject of matri¬ mony. This they did not condemn, al¬ though they treated it with more caution than is usual wilh other denominations.— Their houses were thown open as an asy¬ lum for such as renounced it, and they gave them in e.xchange for their services, food and proteclion. About the lime of the commencement of the Rewlutionary war, a largo number had congregated into this villago and had espoused the senti¬ ments originally introduced. A regular system of'church government had been formed and was then in operation, under the supervision of pious and woll qualified superintendents.
During tho progress of the Revoluiiona- ry war, this Society e.xhibited a desire to aid in the advancement of the American cause. The principal conductor of the institution, Uev. I'eiek Millek, whose so¬ cial virtues aud intellectual qualifioations are only remembered to be admired, hud early formed an acquaintance with Gen. WjsHikgton, and was in the habit of cor¬ responding wilh him, upon subjects con¬ nected with lhe war. By the aid of au ex¬ cellent papermanufactory, which was con¬ structed at tho e.xpense'of the Sociely, he was euabled to furnish him at all times, with paper, suilabic for cartridges; and con¬ tinued this practice, whenever convenient, until tbe close of the war.
After tho terminaiion of the battle of JJrandywine, which was fought on the lllh of September, 1T77, about live hundred soldiers, wounded at that battle, were sent to Ephrala, by the directions of the olli¬ cers of the army, to be entertained by this hospitable and philanthropic association. Many of them had been severely wounded anda portionof them suffering withthe camp fever. Two of their large buildings, whicii had been previously used fur ihe accommodation of Iheir members, were vacated forthe reception of the.sesoldiers. They conlained about fivo hundred rooms, and each soldier had his separate apart¬ ment, which renderedthesilualion of those unforlunale men as comfortable as possi¬ ble. Physicians and surgeons weie placed over lliem, and every means employed for the purpose ot. affording to them relief.— Under the caro of those skilful men, abuul three hundred of lhe soldiers recovered during lhe winier, bul the residue died and were buried in the vicinity of the village. The following afiidavit, which was ob¬ tained from Peler Martin, senior, previou-s to his death, is corroborative of lhe trulh of what has been observed. It is as follows : "In 1777, I resided in the village of Ephrata. Jn the fall of that year a large number of soldiers, soms of Ihem wound¬ ed and others suffering wilh the camp fe¬ ver, were brought to Ephrala, and placed in two large buildings on Ml. Zion. Seve¬ ral surgeons and physicians were appoint¬ ed to take charge of them, of whom Dr. Yerkel was the principal in the commence¬ ment, lie was succeeded by Dr. Scotl.— I saw Dr. Scotl amputate tiie leg of a sol¬ dier in the presence of many people, of whom I now recollect but ono ; and that individual was a certain Dr. Sensenig, who had been appointed to saw the bone, but upon showing great reluctance lo do so, (he operation was performed by Dr. Scott, who, after executing Iho busine.ss, address¬ ed the spectatois as follows: " Was there a change in my countenance perceptible 1" Theaiiswer was " no." His successor was Dr. Harrison, an excellent physician, and a kind hearted, and benevolent man, who attended to lh_e soldiers and provided for their wants w'ith unremilled exertions.— But his usefulness was cut short by the in¬ terposition of Divine Providence. He was seized with the camp fever, removed to lhe house of IVIr. Angus, the father of Ja¬ cob .'Vngus, a surviving soldier of the Rev¬ olution, who slill resides in thesame house; where he died in ashort lime. The disease was contagious; and his benefactor, Mr. Angus, was lakcn sick wilh it and died in a few days. I became acquainted with many of the soldiers, who.se names I du not recollect. One uf Ihem, a Yankee, I havc a distinct recollectiun uf: he taught me to spsak the English language. To the best uf my knowledge they were bronght to Ephrata in the autum.n of lhe year 1777, and the survivors removed in lhe spring of the year 1778, at the lime the British were in j)nsse.ssiou of Philadelphia. Tlin exact number I cannot romember, but am con¬ vinced there were somo hundreds. Those of Ihcm who died are buried on Mt. Zion, on the bapks of the Cocalico creek. The first of Ihem who died here wero. buried with the honors of war; a funeral sermon preached by ono of their numbei- selected for that purpo.se. This practice was con¬ iinued for some lime, unlil they began lo drop of .so rapidly that il was found neces¬ sary to dispense with all such ceremonies. The soldiers wero principally Pennsylva¬ nians, a few Yankees, and several British who had deserted, and who fjught under the American flag al the battle of Brandy¬ wine."
In conne.xion wilh tbeforcgoing afTidavil, Benjamin Konigmachcr, Esq., an old and respeclable citizen of Ephrala, testifies " That he distinctly recollects that im¬ mediately ad^r lhe Battle of Brandywine a great inany uf the wounded si,ldiors of the Americaii army, v.'hu had been engaged in that conflict were sent to Ephrata, where Ihey enterlained in the two buildings ICader and Zion, which were thrown opoii as hos¬ pitals for their reception : that a great many of thom died and wore buried on Mt. Zion in an open field; (the space of ground in which they are interred is about one hun¬ dred feet square,) Ihat Mr. Scott was the Principal oflhc Hospital, and lived in the Brother's house during the winier that the soldiers were there. Ho further testifies that the graves of the-soldiers, although surrounded with thorns and brambles have remained untouched br tho plough¬ share to this day. While the soldiers were in the hospital, milk and pruvi- sions for their use were frequently oblain- ed at his house."
Blany years ago, several large planks were raised alongside ofthe graves, which bore lhe inscripiion of lhe names ofseveral officers ofthe American army,iWho were among the number of the wounded and whose bones repose in the same ground. Corroborative of this we give below the affidavit of James Smith, who has been a citizen of Ephrata for fifty yliars. Hc says —"That ho saw more than fortv years atfo, a great number of.graves in which Ihe sol¬ diers who died al EiihraUi in the Hospiial were buried ; that the ground is the prop¬ erty uf the Society of.the Seventh Dav Baplisls, !s abuut one hundred feel above the Ijvel, and has alwavs been recop-niz"d bythe name of .MountZ'ion; that he distinct¬ ly recollects of a large number of planks which were placed al the side oflhc burial ground, which bore the inscription of the nam-.'S of the officers whoso remains are buried there.   Oneof the planks contained
' the inscription, in the German language, of
" lilei ruhen die Goheine vin vieten Soldaten.' Those planks having decayed were remov- j ed several years ago, and a plain board , fence, wilhoul tho inscriptions, erecied in , their place.    " The burial ground,"   he i furiher teslifies "still remains in ils origi¬ nal staled slate.   Tho graves are still visi¬ ble, though covered by thorns and bram¬ bles."
Col. Richard R. Heitler, of Ephrata, who took the affidavits given in this com- mnnicalion, presents lhe following certifi¬ cate :
Ihereby certify that the foregoing affi¬ davits were taken by me, al twu diB'erpnl time.s, of the three gentlemen whose narbea are given, that thuy are all men of High character-aud rospeclabiiily, and every way worthy of belief. I further certify, thai I know of my own personal knowledge the principal part of the facts set forth in the afiidavit of Jas. Smilh."
• RICHARD R. HEITLER. January 10, 1845.
The Committee of Correspondence of the Ephrala Monument Society, received a few weeks since a communication from Miss H. Scott, daughter of Dr. Scott, the principal of the hospital, who now resides in N^ Brunswick, New Jersey ; who tes- tifieis'to the truth oflier father having been empfo'yed as principal surgeon in the hos¬ pital at Ephrata, immediately after the Battle of Brandywine. Her recollection of the facts is very imperfect, heing very young at the lime Ihey transpired. . Shere- mcmbu.'s tho circumstance uf soldiers having been brought there and buried, but caiuiot testify to the exact number.
Jacob Angus, a survivin.? soldier ot the Revolution, who now resides in Ephrata, has also a very indistinct recolleclion of the circumstance. His memory has been almost enlirely destroyed by sickness and old age. Sufficient however, we believe, has been adduced lo convince the public that this interesting event, which has led to the formation of the ilonument Society, and which has stimulated ils members thus far, in'their patriotic labors, actually did occur. The design of erecting a monu¬ ment to the memory of liiose brave men whose lives were sacrificed forthe liberties oflheir country, arose oulof the consider¬ ation that more than two hundred of Ihem repose in this single burying ground, and patriotism would appear to demand of us that their memory should be rescued from oblivion. Their graves are now a rude wasle, covered over wilh thorns and briar bushes; and, allhough their ashes have been thus far sacred from the desecrations oftlie plough-.'^hare or even the rude tread ofthe vulgar, yet we believe it to be a du¬ ty incumbent upon to treat wiih astrict re¬ gard lo decency and respect, the soil which contains the bones of so many of ourcoun- try's benefactors. A plain and simple moii- ument.to their memory, erecied upon the ground whero their ashes repose, would be no more than a just tribute of respect for the services they rendered to us in l le hour of our peril.
The Sociely of Sevenlh Day Baptists, at the time the soldiers were brought lo Eph¬ rala, took upon themselves the whole bur¬ then of their mantenance, and all the ex¬ penses consequent upon their burial; free¬ ly opened their duors to receive them; kindly proffered their substance for their support, and finally appropriated their ground for their last resting place, wilhout accepting a single farthing as remunera¬ iion. Instances of this characler, of pure and disinterested charity and patriotism, are but few in the whole history of our country. And when, we furiher consider, that those men themselves were poor—la¬ boring under adverse circumstances—bo¬ ing in the very infancy uf their exislence, with scarcely more than enough lo meet the expenses of their own burdensome as¬ sociations, we must allach at least to their benevolence a spiritof self-denial, such as must havc had ils origin in the purest mo¬ tives, and could only have been prompted by the demands of their suffering country. It could only have arisen from the reflec¬ tion Ihat "their counlrv's necessilies wore greater than their own."
We have been desirous of conducting this projecl in such a manner as that il may be plainly and fairly brought beforo the public—that no misrepresentation should thwart our design; but that popular aid and popular support might be eircited by a rep¬ resentation of the facts of tho case ; and that all our foUow-countrymon, in every state, and in every territory ofthis Govern¬ ment, should turn their sympalhy and their influence "in our behalf. The spot of ground in which the soldiers are interred, is about one hundred feet above the level, and commands a fine and picturesque view of the surrounding couniry. A monument erected upon its summit could be seen at a distance of twelve miles in favorable weather. The ground is now about being cleared and the wall which is to enclose lhe graves, construcled. The monument is now in rapid progression, and allhough the Sociely are not now in possession of iho funds necessary lo complete il, it is lo be hoped that the palriulic feelings of our fellow-citizens will not suffer the measure to rest wilhout the necessary support.
A Military Encampment will be held on the ground at Ephrata, on the llth of Sep¬ tember next. The foundation stone will be laid on that day, and many of the ablest speakers in the Uniled Stales are expected to be present.

'Which is he, Charley, whicli' is heV said Florence Aston, as springing to the side of her cousin, she eagerly made the interrogatory. ' What—ihal pruud, stern, dark man! I'll never marry bim,' said the bright lady, very decidedly; and wilh a pretty look uf detefmination on her child¬ like face she walked on.
'Really, Florie,' returned her cousin, laughingly detaining her, 'you form your resoluliun upon slight premises, indeed,— Besides, you have nothing to do with the matter, "ills Mr. John Dunham, who has the honorlo be your grandfather, my sweet coz. who is thu arbiter on this important question of whelheryou will or not. So do not walk off so fast, I pray you Miss Flor¬ ence Astuii, as il is nul interesting or po¬ lite, bul stay and be inlroduced tu Mr. Sian¬ ley.'
• I do nnt desire in,' said Florence, al¬ most weeping in her vexation. 'Do you think that grandfuher really means tu mar¬ ry me lo his ward—this cross, disagreeable Mr. Stanley, Charles!'
'Must certainly I do,' gravely relurned her cousin, regarding her with a minhfnl, malicious expression.
'Do you think it will make him very an¬ gry if I do not, Charley !' interrogated she.
• Ay, verily that I do,' continued her|or- menter. ,1
'He was very angry wilh me once,|;re- turncd Florence, aud there was a faiift;in- dicaiion of smiles. 'You know Aunt Jaor- risoii, so stiff", so proper, so tiresomiwShe camo to make us a visit, and grandfamer de¬ sired me to behave my prelUest'and be proper too. Bul you know, Charley, that is one of the impossibililies ; I could nol do il, and grandfather really quite scolded me abuatil—buthe brokedown in ihe midst ofhis harangue, for I made what the chil dreu call 'a face,-the fac-similc of Aunl Morrison's grim, starched visage, and he laughed lill be cried.' ,
'Miss Florence Aston,' interrupted her grandfather, in his sternest, m.ost dignified tone; 'permit me to present you to iny ward and much esteemed friend, Mr. Stan ley.'
AndFlorence, loher. no small chrgrin, was obliged to turn and walk between ihem iu a very serious and proper manner to the house. To be sure there were a number of apologies tb be made for her. Mr. Stan¬ ley's bow was not what it should bave been to the spoiled pelted beauty. It was not an admiring bow, it was not a particularly deferential bow, nor by any manner of means, a modest diffident bow. Therefore was Miss Aston—who had been approached as a divinity, admired, beloved, wondered al—surprised and mortified. His bow was tho essence of indifference; he might have inclined thus to a spinster aunt, or a portly old uncle,—bul to Ihis charming young la¬ dy, this prelly Florence il was positively insulting. That ahe whu had boen loved by all the world, allhough she had conde¬ scended to love nolhing but her birds, flow¬ ers, an 1 her grandfather, and looked at so coldly by this man, it was surprising.
'I'll never marry him,-Charley," she reit¬ erated, as' she bid that gelleman ' good¬ night.' 'Yet will not grandfather be enra¬ ged either; he shall relinquish me, not I him.'
Her cousin opened his eyes in assumed doubt, wonderment, and admiration ; and wilh a smile of triumph she disappeared.
Flo.ence Aston, so fearless, so light, so agile, became suddenly very cowardly, and very troublesome. Little could Mr. Stanley profit by fine views and charming excursions. Mi.ss Aston's horse behaved as did never horse before, and Miss Aston's self declared she would positively swoon or die in her extrerae terror. Therefore was tho cavalier obliged to quiet the one and sonihe the other, neiiher of which be¬ ing very successful tasks. When they walked, infinite were the number of Flor¬ ence's delicale fatigues and nervous dilem¬ mas, capricious, and fantasfical, every¬ thing unlike herself. Yel did she by most admirable generalship cause all those fan¬ tasies to afflict and annoy but one individu¬ al. Really her grandfather's war.l had a stuck of patience far exceeding Job's much boasled commodity; yet, sirange to tell, his gentle, quiet manner, did nut mollify his tormentor. There was alouch of sar¬ casm about il, there was an understanding, half-humorous expression in his eye—in¬ deed, such an inexplicable thing isa wo¬ man's imagination whhn once upon the alert—Florence translated it at length in¬ to contempt. After a long ride the bright lady would not canter up ihe avenue.as of yoro,and, wild with the exhilerating exor¬ cise, fling herself into her grandfather's arm.s. No ! she rode gravely, decorously, nay, almost sadly up ; her large full eyes cast duwn, and not a glimpse of a smile around the lovely mouth. What could Mr. Stanley lalk about 1 He did not flatter or mako tender speeches'! Most certainly not.
' This will never do, Charley,'she .said one evening to her cousin, after dispatching Mr. Stanley for a missing glove to one apartment, a fan to anolher, and lastly, to pluck a bouquet in lhe moonlight, from all which expedilions he relurned in the mosl amiable humor. 'This willneverdo ; there is no tiring him out; he is an old campaign, er I must change my tactics."
The cousin looked incredulous.
'Ah! you will sec,' she returned lo the glance. ''I have two or three plans m prospective; victory shall, must be mine; —fori never will maxry this man, Char¬ ley.'
The next day there was a drive; and Mr. Stanley it appeared, who had been chained lo Miss Florence's apron-string, was now as free as air. She was for the buggy, and a lele-a-teto wilh her cousin. Hor grandfather appeared inclined to re¬ monstrate, bul she laughingly seized the reins, and with flashing eyea, and heigh¬ tened color, drove ihrough the gale.-.-. Ab¬ solulely she declined dancing with Mr. Stanley twice that evening, an.l danced each aud every lime wiih her cousin. She would nol sing a curlain song for the firsl gentleman, yetpeiformedil aliurward with all tlie spiruand effect in the world, fur the last. Moonlight strolls aud morning ram¬ bles, all were tried withoul uie least utfect. Mr. Stanley was nul to be moved by cap¬ rice or distracted wilh jealousy. Se¬ cure in his nonchalauoe, he remained in¬ vulnerable.
'What can I do, for I will never marry that man, Charley!' exclaimed lhe beauty at the end of a fortnight, wilh a despairing face. 'There's Anna—Anna can make a slone Ijveher: will she nol hiin—ah Char¬ ley I' she asked wilh a smile.
Florence's last plan appeared in a fair way of success. Miss.Anue.Dfjnisun was a very charming young lady, of the genus —fiiri; and Mr. Stanley became, apparent¬ ly, her most devoied admirer. If Flor- e'nce had coquetted Ull she was weary, with her cijusin, little would Mr. Stanley bave iieened; if she had broken her neck through the prances ot her Rusinaule, he would bave been all unconscious.— iVliss Aston did not appear as elated as a young lady should, who had lured from lhe pursuit an unwelcome lover. Sho grew melancholy, lost hur laughter, her smiles, and her bloom, and began to hale, very desperately, Miss Anne Denison. it was astonishing how sharp-sighted she be¬ came to that lady's defects. iVtiss Denison had the must beautiful lilile hand inthe world, and the darkest, most luxurianl hair; and she wuuld draw the une over the other wilh a prelly aflccialiun of weari¬ ness. Florence looked daggers, while iMr. Sianley looked admiration. Miss Denison had a petite, a fairy-like figure, and would dance svild Spanish dances, and with caslineils, in a manner mosl bewitch¬ ing to behold. As the litlle feet lighily and and airily descended; aild the graceful, ethe¬ real creature had sankj in utter weariness, on a tabouret which Mr. felanlcy had placed, Florence turned .with a look of disgust to her cousin, and protested that she abhorred such displays.
' Florie, my bird of beauty, my starling, my pet; 1 have not heard the sound of your voice to day ; what is lhe matter, my child r Thus said Mr. Denham, cno sun¬ ny afternoon, to his prelty grand-daughter, who was sitting alone on the piazza, per¬ haps, watching the shadows on the grass, ceriainly in much melancholy musing.
' What is il, dearesil' ho repeated. -You need not marry Mr. Sianley—eb, my jew¬ el!'
Florence did not speak; the rich color mounted to her choek, and lhe large, dark eye, spoke volumes.
•You shall nol marry him,' he contin¬ ued coaxingly,'and he is coming to-day to tell you su.'
Befure the bright lady had time lo ask the meaning uf ihis peculiar announce ment, Mr Denhani had taken himself ulf wilh a celerity and coiisidefatiufi'mosi un¬ usual in a gentleman of his age, and Stan¬ ley was at her side.
' What your grandfather has told you is indeed so, Miss Aston,' he said, in a most
dignified (Florence thought, croasest) man¬ lier. "^ The days for forcing young ladies into disagreeable matches are over. You are yourown mistress, and can make your own decision. Do you choose to marry me or null'
Flurence was convulsed with a variety of emotions, indignation being predomi- nant-^only a polite get-off, thought she.
'I do not,'relurned the beauty, in a clear, distinct tone.
Mr. Stanley bowed and left her. Why did Florence, as his last foot-step died away, fling those curls on her lap 1 why did she sob,1 why d d she weep T Grand¬ father's pel did oot make her appearance at tea that eveuing, in spile Of her release. 'She had a head-ache.' She could not bid Miss Denison good-bye. 'She was sick.' .The-first person she encountered iu the rnorning weis Mr. Stanley.
• Good-bye,' he said, extending hishand, 'I.am going.'     :       .
' 1 supposed, of course, you would have left yesterday, with Miss Denison,' return ed Florence.
' Why,' said he coolly. tWhal a cruel  question, thought  poor Florence.    She could npt life her eyes— Ihey were filled with tears, and she liIi that her cheeks were glowing.
' Whyl' he coniinued in the same ironi¬ cal tone, 'did you suppose me a lover of the lady's 1 flow could I vow fealty to two fair dames at onco,' he added sporling- ly. ' If you will condescend to remam ber. Miss Florence, I was your lov.er till )'ou dismissed me so unceremoniously last evening.'
'I do not remember any such thing,' said Florence, wilh a touch of her former spir¬ it; 'that you intended to marry me, I ad¬ mit—that you loved me—never.'
'Really,' he said, 'my some-time be¬ trothed, we must understand this matter better.   I had nothing to do but lo be pre sented, disliked, rejecled—and now 1 must depart and forget—if I can.'
His tone was sad. Florence became agitated.
'Good-bye,' he repeated, after a mo ment's pause, and/ljpld (inl his hand.
His cumpanioh'SVias blind, however, and did not see it. She'^^vas leaning over her plants, and picking a bud to pieces. She stole a glance at his face, and her own crimsoned.
'Must you go, Stanley!'she said at lengih, timidly.
Who could resist those eyes ? The car¬ riage drove to tne door, and bow often, in¬ finile, were the " halloos" afler its propos¬ ed occupant, bul Mr. Stanley was wander¬ ing deep in lhe woods with Florence Aston, Florence might have .snt that evening for the personification of Euphrosyne, Spring, Morning—everything redolent of youth, hope, lifo, beauty, happiness. On eye, cheek, lip, the sunshine danced. Herhead rested on her grandfather's knee, andihe old man bent over her, enraptured,
'Ah!" he whispered, 'Florie, willrMr. Stanley's departure relurn your smiles; how delighled I am that I sent him off. It would havo been ashamed lo have married you darling.'
' Grandfallior,' said Florence, in charm¬ ing confusion; '1 knew that your hearl was set on the match, so I conquered my aversions—and—and—' Mr. Sianley ap¬ peared just Ihen in propria persona.— Mr. Dcniiara (tho wise old man) under¬ stood it all, and spared Miss Florence's blushes.
• I really Ihink afler all, that I shall mar¬ ry this man, Charley," she whispered as sho bid her cousin guod night.
