For the In qutrtr. CUMBERLAND VALLEY, Sept. 2. MB. EDITOR: —The question at issue in the present war between the North and South, is simply this:—Shall the Union and the Consti tution as formed and framed by our fathers, and to which each state voluntarily gave its adherence with the most solemn sanctioßs, now be dissolved by forceoj arms or be perpetua ted for the benefit of future generations ? The principle on which tbe loyal States stand up so unanimously for in this conflict, is no new principle. What principle was so strenuluus* ]y asserted on both sides, in 1814, when the New England States were suspected of au intention of withdrawing from the Uuion?— Identically tbe same. On that ocoasion, what was the voice of Virginia, when that great Virginia stutesmau who had a leading part in the formation of the Constitution, was Presi dent? It was tbe following, as expressod through the journal winch was theu, and is yet nn oracle there. - "No man, no association of men, no State, or set of States, has "a right to withdraw from this Union of its own accord. The same pow er which kept us together can unlink it. The owe formality which formed the liuks of the Uuion is necessary to dissolve it. Tbe ma jority ot the States which formed the Union must consent to the withdrawal of any branch of it Uutii that couseut has been obtained, any attempt to dissolve the Union, or distract tbe efficiency of its Constitutional law, is TREA SON, treason io all its intents and purposes." It is for this principle that the free and ens lightened host of the people of these loyal States stand finu aud unanimous to-day. Is our position right? Let* the mass of the peoa pie of the free States answer this question. Will the "Confederate States" concede the right of secession to auy of the States com prising their Union? If so, how do they ex pect to maintain their government, and exe cute the laws? And if the right is coooeded to States, why not to Counties, Cities, Towns? The simple truth i, the priaciple of secession is a false one, aud leads diiectly to anarchy and ruin. Tbe message of Jiff. Davis failed to convince me. It is based on false princi ples, and hence his conclusions are erroneous. Read the following from Gen. Jackson, him self a Southern man, whose opiui >us cannot be ignored io the seceded States. Iu his fa nious Proclamation, issued when South Caro lina made its first attempt to secede he said:— "The Constitution of the United States, thcD, forms age ernmtnt, not a league: and whether it be formed by compact between the States, or in any other manner, its character is the same. It is a government in which all the people are represented; which operates di rectly on the people individually, not upon the States—atd they retained all the power they did not grant. But each State having express ly parted with as many powers as to constitute, jointly with tbe other States, a single nation, cannot, from that period, possess any right to secede; because uoh secession does not break a league, but destroye the unity of a nation; and any injury to that unity is not only a breach, which would result from the contra vention of a compact, but it is an offence against the whole UoioD. To say that any State may, at pleasure, secede from the Union, is to say tbat the United States are not anas tion: because it would be a solecism to contend that any part of a nation might dissolve its connection with the other parts, to their injury or ruin, without any offence." 1 verily believe that the war will not be without its good effects in the end. Often pained by the evident bitterness of men in times of peace, we might say without much ex aggeratiou that we are thankful for a war which shows us how noble after ali are our countrymen. We needed the bleak Artie to show up the soul of our glorious Kane. We needed Sumter with its few half-starved men and scanty provision to exhibit to us the great ness of our Andeisou. And 1 cau say, tnere fore, tbat there is some sunshine in this dark picture before us—dark even now, though peace should soon return. We can say that the spirit of '76 was equaled by '6l that wil lingness to suffer aßd die do not extinguish in the souls of Americans. That's a great les son to learn. All bail 1861 that teaches it! As 1 look forward into tbe future, I have no doubt that this war will have another lesson, and tbat is that the government of a free peo ple can be sustained. Let tbe aristocrats of the Old World ohuekla over the downfall of our Republic now, tbey will soon learn some thing to make them more liberal in their views. We shall see our country placed upon a foun dation which the storms of many centuries shall not beat away. It may be God's design that great changes shall come here, but none I. believe will be wrought when once peace returns, that shall come in blood or for the worse. The nprisiug, tbe commotion now dears the air for generations to come. "Dark art tbou, oh ! war, but io ail thy blackness, I see tbe gleam of light. Thou oomest like the storm, and ragest with the tempest's violence. But tbe fields tbou felleet, shall bloom again, and tbe men tbou strikest shall wear heroes' crowns. Break thou shall when thy work is done, aod beneath tbe bow of peace shall the free victorious nation stand."' But 1 fear 1 have already passed beyond tbe prescribed limits and shall therefore close. A. DuriDg tbe conflagration of Canton, caused by the bombardment of tbe British, the ex tensive medical warehouse of our countryman, Dr. J. C. AYER, of Lowell, (the depot,of his Cherry Pectoral and Catbartio Pills, for Chi na) was totally destroyed. Ha now makes a demand upon our Government for indemnity from tbe loss of bis property, and hence will grow another nut to oraok with our elder brother Johnny. Stick to it Doctor; and if our government maintains our rights wherever your Pills are sold, ouly be unpro tected on traots tbat are very barren. [Re former, Trenton, N. J. GEORGE W.

Appeal to (he People of (he U. Slales, WASHINGTON, Sept. I.—The following patriotic appeal for the national loan has just been issued by Secretary Chase to the citizens of the United Stales : Your national government, compelled by a guil ty conspiracy culminating in a causeless insurrec tion, is engaged in a war for security and libeity, for the supremacy of the law, for tbe defence of the Uuion and for the maintenance of popular in stitutions. For the means to defray the necessary expenses of the war your Congress has directed that an ap peal be made to you, by opening a subscription to a national loan of oue hundred and fifty millions of dollars. Already the enlightened and patriotic capitalists of the great cities of New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, have manifested their clear seuse both of duty and interest, by a subscription of $50,000,- 000. Congress, under which this subseiption was received, wisely provides, however, that the ad vantages, as well as the patriotic satisfaction ot a participation in this loan, shall i>e offered not to the capitalists of the great cities only, but to tbe people of the whole country. In order to secure a substantial reward far their public spirit to those whose patriotism prompts them in this hour of trial to place means at tbe disposal of govern ment, Congress has directed that an interest of 7 3-10 per centum he paid on the several amounts subscribed, an interest not liable to State taxation, but constituting for subscribers a revenue not only certain in receipt: but greater in amount thau ran be expected from auy ordinary investment. And in order to afibrd all citizens equal oppor tunities ot participation in these advantages, Con gress bas further directed that subscriptions be re ceived for sums as stuali as SSO as well as for laige amounts, and that should the subscriptions exceed the whole sum desired, the smaller be preferred in its distribution. Each subscriber, on payment of his subscription, will be entitled to receive Treasu ry notes, equal in amount, in such denominations as he may prefer, whethei of SSO, SIOO, SSOO SIOOO, or SSOOO. 'I he interest at 7 3-10 per annum will be on the notes of SSO one sent, on SIOO two cents, on SSOO ten cents, on §IOOO twenty cents, and on S6OOO one dollar for each day. " All the Treasury notes issued will bear date on the 19th ot August, 1801, and will bear interest from date.— Each note will have coupous attached, expressing the several amounts of st-mi-annual interest, which coupons may he detached from the notes, and pre sented tor payment separately. Each subscriber may pay the whole amount subscribed at tho time oi subscription, or, if he prefers to do so, may pay one-tenth at that time and one-third every twenti. eth day thereafter. At tach payment the accrued interest on the amount from the 19th ol August to the date of payment must also be paid, and the amounts of interest thus paid will be reimbuosed in the payment of the first coupon In order to secure beyond peradventure the punctual payment of the interest and the gradual reduction of the principal, Congress bas provided by iaw for an an nual revenue amply sufficient not* only for these purposes, but for the prompt payment of ali de mands on account of extraordinary expenditures. It will be seen at a g'ance that not only is the whole property of the country pledged for tbe in terest and final reimbursement of the loan, but that an adequate and specific proportion of the annual production is set apart by taxation for the redemp tion of this pledge. Prompt payment beyond a contingency is thus insured. Nor can this taxation be thought great when compared with the magni. tude of the objects of the contest, or with the amount of property and production. Tbe objects of union, permanent peace and security at home and respect abroad are imperilled by this unprovok ed rebellion. Tbe intelligence ol tbe people com. prebend at once their magnitude. Tbey rise above party. They belong to no administration. They concern the whole country during all time, under every Administration; and in every relation, foreign or domestic. And the means for the attainment of these great objects can be readily supplied from the property predictions of the country The real and person al values in the United States reach the vast ag gregate of $16,000,C00,000, and in the States now loyal to the Union this agregate is $11,000,000,000. The yearly surplus earnings of tho loyal people are estimated by intelligent persons conversant with such investigations at more than $400,000,000, while the welPconsidered judgment of military men of the highest rank and repute, warrants the con fident expectation that if the war is prosecuted with energy, courage and skill, it may be brought to a termination before the close of the next spring, in which event the cost beyond the revenue will hardly exceed the amount of the $250,000,000 loan authorized by Congress; and with a due economy in all branches of the public service, not more thau the total expenditure of Great Britian or France in years ol peace. And it is not unreasonable to hope that the auspicious result of |>eace may be hastened by the reflection of the citizens of the States in insurrec tion—that they will review their action, weigh their own welfare, consider tho disposition of the people of the whole country to recognize all their constitutional rights and to allow them their full share in the benefits of the common government, and renew their allegiance to tbe Union, which in an evil hour they have been tempted to throw off. Will they- not reflect that the war into which the government baa been constrained is not a war for their subjugation, but a war for national existence, and that an auspicious result to the Union will benefit as largely the States in insurrection as the States which have remained loyal. However this may be, the duty of the national government as the constitutionally constituted agent of the people admits of no question. The war made necessary by the insurrection, and reluctantly accepted by the government, must be prosecuted with all possi ble vigor until the restoration of the just authority of the Union shall insure permanent peace. The same good Providence which conducted our tathcrs through the difficulties and dangers which beset the formation oi the Union has graciously strengthen ed our hands for tbe work of its preservation. The crops of the year are ample, granaries and barns are everywhere full. Tbe capitalists of the country come cheerfully forward to sustain the credit of the government. Already, and even in advance of this appeal, men of all occupations seek to share the honors and advantages ol the loan. Never, except because of the temporary depression caused by the rebellion and the derange ment of business occasioned by it, where the peo ple of tbe United States in a better condition to sustain a great contest than now. Under these favoring circumstances, and for these grand oljects, I shall, in pursuance of the act of Congress, cause books of subscription to be opened as speedily as practicable in tbe several cities and principal towns of the United States, in order that all citizens who desire to subscribe to the loan may have tbe opportunity of doing so.— Meanwhile, those who prefer that course can remit any sum which they may wish to invest in the loan to tbe Treasury of the United States at Washing ton, or to either of the Assistant Treasurers at Boston, New York, Philadelphia or St. Louis, or to the Depository at Cincinnati, where certificates will entitle tbe holders to Treasury notes on the terms already stated. The patriotism of the peo ple, it is not to be doubted, will promptly respond to the liberal wisdom of their representatives. (Signed) S. P. CHASE, Secretary of !be Treasury. ANOTHER PRIZE.

Many, since the great discovery of Prof. Wood, have attempted not only to imitate his restorative, but profess to have discovered something that would produce results identical; but they have all come and goce, being cat riid away by the wonder ful results of Prof. Wood's preparation, and have been forced to leave tfie field to its resistless sway. Read tlie following .- Bath, Maine, April 18th, 1859. Prox. O. J. Wood h Co. : Gents.:—The letter I wrote you in 185<> concerning your valuable Hair Restorative, and which you have published in this vicinity ami elsewhere, has giveu rise to numerous enquiries touching the facts in the case. The en quiries are first, is it a fact of my habitation and name, as stated in the conuuimicaiiou; second, it is true o< all therein contained; third, does my hair still continiie to be in good order and of natural color ? To all 1 can and answer invariably yes.- My ban Is even better than in any stage of my life for 4<) years past, more sot'-., thrifty, and latter colored ; the same is true ot my whiskers, and the only cuise why it is not generally true, is that the substance is washed off ly fr< queiit ablution of the face, when il care were used by wiping the face in close connection with the whiskers, the same result will follow as the lutir. i have been in the receipt ola great number of letters from all parts of New England, asking mo it my hair still con tinues to be good ; as there is so much fraud in the manufacture ani sale ot various compounds as well as this, it has, no doubt been basely imitated and been used, not only without any good elfect, but to absolute injury. 1 have not used any of your Restorative of any account tor some months, and yet my hair is as good as ever, and hundreds have examined it witli surprise, as I am now til years old and uot a gray hair in my bead or on my tace ;„and to prove this fact, I send you a lock of Imy hair taken off the part week, i received your I favor of two quait bottles last summer, for which I am very gratetul ; I gave it to my friends nd thereby induced them to try it, many were skepti cal until after trial, and then purchased and used it with universal success. 1 will ask us a favor, tb it you send nie a test by wbicb 1 can discover fraud in the Restorative, sold by many, I l'aar, without authority from you. A pure ait.cle will insure success, and I believe where good effects do not follow, the failure is caused by tiie iiupuie article, which curses the inveutor of the good. 1 deem it my duty as heretofore, to keep you apprised oi the continued effect on toy hair, sa> 1 assure all who enquiie of me of my unshaken opinion of its valu able results. 1 remain, dear sir, yours, A.

NATHAN ROBISON, Execntor, Southampton Township. Sept. 6, 1861. 1 Ayer's Sarsaparilla A compound remedy, in which we have la bored to produce the most effectual alterative that can be made. It is a concentrated extract of Para Sanwparilla, so combined with other substances of still greater alterative power as to afford an effective antidote for the diaeaaes Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one which will accomplish their cure must prove of immense service to this large class of our afflicted ijeUo'v- citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by exper iment on many of the worst cases to be found of the following complaints: SCROEULA AND SCROEVLOUS COMPLAINTS, ERUPTIONS AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES, ULCERS, PISTPLM, BLOTCHES, TUMORS, SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS AND STPHILITT • AR pxcnoNs, MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY, NEU RALGIA OR TIC DOULOUREUX, DEBILITY, DT PEP3IA AKD INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, ROSE OR ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from IMPURITY or THE BLOOD. This compound will be found a great pro moter of health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul humci* which fee tor in the blood at that season of the year. By the tima ly expulsion of them many rankling diaordeea are nipped in the bud. Multitudiea can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcaroua sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of tbe body by an alterative medicine. Clesuise out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell jrou when. Even where no particular disorder is felt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well; but with this pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the great machinery at life is disordered or overthrown. Sarsaparilla has, and deserve* much, the reputation, of accomplishing these ends. But the world has been egregiously deceived by preparations of it, partly because tha drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed for it, but more because many preparations, pretending to be concentrated extracts of it, contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else. During late years the public have been mis led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Moat of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa rilla, but often no curative properties whatev er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts cf Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground for believing it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordinarv run of the diseases it is intend ed to cure, in order to secure their complete eradication from the system, the remedy should be judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle.
