THE CHAMBERSBURG SUFFERERS.
The House of Representatives of this State has passed a bill appropriating $500,000 to the sufferers by McCausland's raid at Chambersburg, in 1864. The sum of $10,000 was donated for the same purpose last year.
This liberality will not be regretted by any true Pennsylvania. It is just to ourselves that we should remunerate the losers by an atrocious act, which was not one of legitimate war. We can afford it, and the movement is in the right direction. The Senate will no doubt ratify the House bill, and we can then boast that Pennsylvania has been recreant to no duty to the Union or to herself.
