Suspension of the Writ of Habeas Cor
pus throughout the United States.
WASHINGTON, September 15.
By the President of the United States.
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, The Constitution of the United
States lias ordained that ''the privilege of the
writ of habeas corpus shall not bit suspended un
less when, in oases of rebellion or invasion, the
public safety may require itand whereas, a
reliellion was existing on the 3d day of March,
1803, and which rebellion is still existing ; and
whereas, by a statute which was approved on
that day, it was enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United States
in Congress assembled, that during the present
insurrection, the President of the United States,
whenever, in his judgment the public safety
may require, is authorized to suspend the privi
lege of the writ of habeas corpus in any ea v c
throughout the United States or any part there
of ; and whereas, in the judgment of the Pres
ident, the public safety does require that the
privilege of the said writ shall now bo suspend
ed throughout the United States in cases where,
by the authority of the President of the United
Hiatus, military, naval, and civil officers of the
United States, or any of them, hold persons un
der their command or in their custody, either as
prisoners of war, spies, or aiders or abettors
of the enemy, or officers, soldiers, or seamen en
rolled, drafted, or mustered or enlisted in or be
longing to the land or naval forces of the United
States, or as deserters therefrom, or otherwise
amenable to military law, or to the rules and
articles of war, or to the rules and regulations
prescribed for the military or naval service by
the authority of the President of the United
States, or for resisting a draft, or for any other
offense against the military or naval service.
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President
of the United States, do hereby proclaim and
make known, to all whom it may concern, that
the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus is sus
pended throughout the United States in the sev
eral cases before mentioned, and that this sus
pension will continue throughout the duration of
the said rebellion, or until this proclamation
shall by a subsequent one, to be issued by the
President of the United States, be modified and
revoked; and Ido hereby require all magistrates,
attorneys, and other civil officers within the U
nited States, and all officers and others in the
military and naval service of the United States,
to take distinct notice of this suspension and
gi\e it fulleifoet, and all citizens of the United
States to conduct and govern themselves accor
dingly and in conformity with tlio Constitution
of the United States and the laws of Congress
in such cases mado and provided.
In testimony whereof 1 have hereunto set ray
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed, this fifteenth day of September,

ence of the United Slates of America the eigh

BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1863.
From the I'ittsSurt Gazette, (Hep.) July 2?.
The Governor in his National Re
lations.
Thus far wc have been treating of Slate
matters exclusively, as being entitled t© the
first consideration in the choice of a Gover
nor, and not unlikely to exercise the over
ruling iniluencc upon that question. Turn ]
we now to our national relations, and in-j
quire how the case stands there V
And here we think it may be safely afflfln-!
Ed that Gov. Curtin has not only fallen far 1
short of the occasion in every element 6f
courage, truthfulness, and ability, which it
required, but has in point of tact enacted
the part of a Marplot from the beginning,
and created more trouble and embarrass
ment at Washington, by his oflicioua inter
meddling and well-known weakness, than
all the other Governors of the loyal States
together, without regard to their party pol
ities. If the public have looked in vain in
to the personal character and acquirements
of the Governor to find a reason for sending
him abroad, it might possibly be discovered
in a very natural desire to get him out of
the roatl, as both Governor and candidate,
with so much to fear from him in both of
these relations. Who knows whether the
threat of being a candidate might not have
alarmed the Government, and whether its
renewal now is not intended only to keep up
a salutary apprehension of that justly dread
ed contingency? We may have a story to
tell on that subject on some future occasion.
When we speak of his offieiousncss, we
do not, however, refer now to the business
of his standing agency at Washington, he'd
at present, we believe, by Col. R. Riddle
Roberts, of this city, of which we confess
that we comprehend as little, as we did the
reasons for withdrawing that officer from
his regiment, or the authority for installing
him in comfortable winter quarters alongside
of the Executive Chamber at 1 Larrisburg.
If we had been a member of the Legisla
ture, we would have made it a point to un
derstand these things, even at the risk of a
reproof of our impertinence, like that ad
ministered on the occasion of the inquiry
for the suppressed document, llut what
was his conduct in regard to the requisition
made on this State tor troops in 1802, and
the draft ordered thereupon? Who are the
mmi whom bo 11" • "i>nnirK"W tnr pt
ployment, and insisted on, in opposition to
the better judgment of the authorities at
Washington? liow often has lie not been
there—not to further his own interests alone,
as in the case of the desired mission—but
to urge the claims of men whose zeal for the
suppression of the rebellion was anything
but a hot one? How many of his bosom
friends and counsellors are there not, who
have thought and said that this was a negro
war; that they were surprised that so con
servative a JState a3 Pennsylvania, should
have contributed so largely to carry it on—
that for every South Carolina rebel they
would hang a Massachusetts Abolitionist—
that the rebels could uot bo whipped—that
the war ought therefore to be stopped—and
that they would be glad to see it done even
by foreign intervention, if not otherwise!
For which of these .sentiments was it tiiat
he considered the thanks of the Slate to
have been deserved by some of his fellow
laborers ? It would be invidious to name the
men who have been so favored, but it will
require no great shrewdness on the part of
those who have been .familiar with the faces
that have graced the Executive Chamber,
from the clay that Governor Curtin entered
it, to guess at the individuals to whom we
refer. Everybody will recollect, however,
the official dinner at Washington, and the
semi-ollicial announcement in tlie Intelligen
cer, that Governor Curtin was to head a (Con
servative party in this (State, as its candi
date for Governor. That, if true, would
have been only to go back to the position
from which his administration started, un
der his revised and diluted Inaugural, lie
found it necessary, however, to deny, and
did deny, that he was so engaged, and we
give him the advantage of the statement.
We must be excused for saying that we
have reason to believe that it was true, and
his message to the Legislature, immediately
thereafter, in which he denounces what lie
considers as arbitrary arrests, while John
ston and Wright—both Democrats—were
defending them, is, to our mind, the strong
est evidence of it, in connection with the
associa! ions which lie has always had around
him. His leanings are, and unquestionably
always have been, in that direction, and thus
it is that lie has secured some Democratic
toleration, and been inspired with the delu
sive hope, that he would receive sonic Dem
ocratic votes. It may be, and perhaps is,
the fault of his complexion and tempera
ment. Weak and nervous; timid and va
cillating, as he has ever been, it would be
impossible to find a man who is constitu
tionally more untitled for a crisis like tLis,
which really "tries men's souls." We have
already sutfered enough from men of that
kind, whose very virtues have been turned
into defaults by it—whose mis-placed ten
derness has been real cruelty to innocence—
and whose timidity ha 3 had worse conse-.
quences than treason itself. It is only the
"j nut urn ct Unacom propositi virum" —the
just, hone3t, linn, constant, brave and in
flexible man—who is suited to times like
these—and not the nervous creature, who
pales at a shadow, and starts convulsively,
like the frightened fawn, at the rustling of
every leaf. Iji order to inspire a just con
fidence in the people, we want a man to
meet our enemy on the border, and not one
who will retreat to the Capitol, full of ex
aggerated fears—with terror and confusion
in his train—only to dismantle it, and pro
pare for another hegira in the direction of
the Delaware.
From the Pittsburg Gazette, (Rep.) July 29.
Popularity of the Governor.
It is suggested, however, as a reason for
the renomination of Gov. Curtin, and the
ordy one we ever heard, that he is popular
with the soldiery. If this were true it would
make no difference, under the decision of
such men as Woodward and Lowrie, that
they arc not entitled to the privilege or pro
tection of the ballot-box, against tho skulk-'
ing cowards at home, who arc their worst
enemies—and most dangerous, because they
lire from the rear. Rut it is not true, if we
may trust the almost universal testimony
from tlx} army, so far as we have had an
opportunity of hearing it; and it would be
strange, indeed, if it were, looking to the
shoddy provided for them by his agents, in
the first place, and his whole subsequent
conduct in regard to the commissions, with
his well known preferences for men, whose
loyalty has never been considered of the
brightest. Our readers will remember the
time when it was publicly said, that his per
son woald not have been sate in the camp
of a Pennsylvania regiment. We are not
of those who affect to believe that this feel
ing has improved into popularity, notwith
standirg the newspaper reports of receptions
and fir.j presentations to which we have so
often been treated. Cheers on the Potomac
from Pennsylvania regiments, are a cheap
compliment, and not always to be taken as
evidences of admiration for the man. A
large pjrtion of them might fairly be set
down 0 the # account of the office which he
bore, a? the successor of so many brave and
well-tred men. An absent soldier would
naturaly be glad to see any tolerably decent
maa ; um bis nativa State, who had come
to vis.", and had the power of helping h'm;
but an army patronage lik that of the Gov
ernor, in the hands of such a man as Cur
tin, is always a fatal gift to the holder.
It is impossible, however, that with his
facility of temper, and a desire to please
everybody who approaches him, so great as
to result in infinite prodigality of promises,
forgotten as soon as uttered, and never in
tended to be performed, lie should have been
able cither to acquire, or maintain any per
manent or well-founded popularity. We
could point out cases, where he has even
gone out of his way to volunteer engage- j
menU to friends, which were not sought by 1
them, in the first place, and which were no
sooner made than violated, as though it had
becniiis studied purpose to convert them in
to cifcmies. It was Goldsmith, wc believe, |
who said of Edtnund Rurkc, that
"He tnrevv oil bis l'riends as a huntsman his pack,
For IS know, when he pleased, be could whistle j
them back."
Governor Curtin has dealt with his, or
such of them at least as were houe3t, i,n
about the same way. lie is not Rurke, how- J
ever, by any moans; and wc doubt much I
whether his whistle will be as potent as e
ven that of Roderick Dliu.
Nr can it be said, as it has often been,
in excuse for his delinquencies, that he is j
casyand good naturcd, and has been over- j
ruled by the bad counsels of other men.— i
Tho fact wc admit is more than probable, j
Tho.* who have visited the Executive Cham- ;
bcr mid learned thereby to know how affairs |
have been conducted during his administra- j
lion, 1 are perfectly well aware, that although ]
he Ims never given much heed to his consti- ;
tutional advisers, he has never been more
than nominally the Governor of this State, j
It is not to be eontested—for tho testimony i
of flit! Hon. S. A. Puruiance, proves it, if \
there were nothing else—that he has been :
but in instrument in the hands of abler and |
more cunning men—not of his Cabinet pro- J
per, as just remarked, and not generally c- j
veil of the politics of those who elected him. i
From what wc have already stated, those |
who read us may readily give credence to tlie •
open boast, as currently reported, of one of:
these advisors, that he Inid torn up, in the pies- !
enco of tho Governor himself, some half a doz- i
en veto messages, which he had prepared for
transmission to the Legislature. Hut what ex-!
cuse is there in all this for hi 3 multiplied delin-1
quencies? Why not elect Gen. Andrew Porter,
or Col. MeClure, or Col. Scott, or Col. K. Rid
dle Roberts, or Col. Campbell, or some one of
the other Democratic politicians, whom lie lias
had, or has now about him, at once, instead of
himself'? We should have the advantage then at ,
least, of having the power and responsibility u- j
nited in the same hands.
We think wo do not go too far in saying that
the administration of Gov. Curtin —his very fa
cility of temper it may be—has gathered about
tho capital a class of .men, whose presence is
anything but a wholesome one, or a favorable
index of tho state of public morality thore.—
WIIOEE NUMBER, 307©
VOL. 7, NO 8.
There has been no time in the history of this
State, when profligacy and venality were more
open and shameless, during the sessions of the
I.legislature. Nor is it the war that has gene
rated these maggots in the body politic. Gov.
Curtin has associated with him, by bis own act,
a power which first sot the example of corrup
tion 011 a gigantic scale, and has since become
his master. Jt is not even a divided sceptre
that he now wields, in connexion with the new
Augustus, whom he has associated with him in
the empire. When he wants advice as to how
he is to defend (lie State, he sends for the Junior
Ciesar, and Harrisburg newspapers make a boast
of it, byway of showing how important tho
Pennsylvania Railroad Company is to the sal
vation of the State. It is a mere rehearsal,
however, of what took place as soon as Scott
had accomplished his primary object at. the ses
sion of 1861. He took bis place in the Exec
utive Department, with the telegraphic wires in
his hand, and maintained it, until he was sum
moned to the War Department in the Federal
Capital. The Governor broke his truncheon
and laid down everything, but the mere symbols
of office, at the feet of his new masters. He
has never since resumed it, and never will.
[From tbe Pittsburg Chronicle, Rep., May, 1861.]
The State Attorney General Resigned.
Mr. S. A. l'urviance, Gov. Cnrtin's Attorney
General, has resigned. In his note to the Gover
nor, announcing his resignation, Mr. I'. uses the
following significant language: "For reasons
which appeal to my self-respect, I cannot con
sent to continue any longer in connection with
your Administration. I therefore tender you my
resignation of the office of Attorney General of
tire State." We are not informed yet what these
reasons are; but cnougii is known to state that
they arise out of the alleged complicity of the
Governor in those scandalous contract transac
tions, through which the State has been swindled
out of immense sums of money, and our brave
volunteers subjected to a series of hardships and
inconveniences which few but themselves would
have had the patience to tolerate.
11' Gov. Curtin, or other high State officials
or politicians, .have been, or are, in any way
involved in speculating on our patriotic volun
teers, and disgracing and humiliating the Slate
before the world and her sister States, he and
they ought to bo swept from their positions by
the withering scorn of an indignant and abused
people. If they are not guilty, then it is due to
themselves and to the State, whose reputation
is now suffering by multitudinous reports that
they should hunt out the shameful thieves who
are fattening on the offers of patriotism, and
both expose and punish them.
It Is absolutely sickening, and to the last de
groo mortifyng, to read the comments on the
disgraceful swindling and inefficiency in Pennsyl
vania, which are now found in the papers of the
North and South. The great and wealthy State
of Pennsylvania is beginning to be believed the
prey of idiots or knaves, and affords a degrading
spectacle to the world. All the public asks
at present is, when shall these things cease? The
scoundrels must he unearthed, exposed and pun
ished, whether high or low. So much the worse
for them if they occupy exalted stations.
GOVERNOR CURTIN'S HEALTH.
In his special message to the Legislature, decli
ning a renoininalion for the Gubernatorial chair,
Curtin, declared that: "The labors which I have
necessarily undergone have already impaired my
health. I should have serious cause to apprehend
that a much longer continuance of them might so
break it down a to render ine unable to fulfil
the duties of my position." Now, the Governor
should not lie permitted to go 011 at this reckless
rata. The State has no right to claim any man's
services at such a price as this; and if the Gover
nor's friends have no regard for his health, the
people should have, and sCo to it that he is not
burdened with the crushing duties of the Execu
tive chair for another three years. Governor
Curtin must not be permitted to destroy himself
by reckless patriotism; and a merciful people
should allow him to retire to the peaceful shades
of private life and place the labors of the execu
tive olfiee upon a pair of good broad shoulders
such as Judge Woodward carries about with
him.
Extravagant SMp~Charters at New Or
leans.
A Memphis correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette tells the following:
"Several |torsons who have come up lately
from New Orleans give us some account ot the
condition of things in that city. There is al
most no business, except that connected with
the array: half the dwellings and more than
half the stores are empty. Around the whole
'crescent.' where there used to lie three or four
thousand ships, there arc now hardly a hundred
vessels of all classes. These are all employed,
to some extent, in the military service. The
charters of some of these ships are curiosities,
and indicate into whoso pockets go the many
millions of money cxtravngaDtly expended in
the prosecution of the war.
"Most of the vessels lying at New Orleans
were under charter to the Government, but I
only mention two of the most noteworthy. One
vessel carrying three thousand sacks oi corn
from New York was under charter at a hundred
and twenty-five doll:irs per day, and had been
out a hundred and twenty-two days, making
the cost of freight alone about fifteen thousand
dollars, or about two dollars and fifty cents per
bushel. Another vessel, that had probably ta
ken Kamtsclmtka in her route from New York
to New Orleans, had been out so long and at6o
extravagant a charter, thut the corn she brought
stood the Government iu nearly livo dollars per
bushel at New Orleans. If these are not suffi
cient reasons for supplying the 'Department of
the Gulf from the Northwest, and by means of
the Mississippi river, it must bo confessed that
army contracts are let for the benefit of individ
uals alone, and ignore the benefit of the army
entirely."

Representative.—This is Stanton's loyalty. It
shows itself in blood, but not in the blood of
himself or his. It shows itself in money; but
it is money which goes into his pockets out of
the pockets of the people.
Again:—
They prate about LOYALTY". You, the
people have made sacrifices with pure and gen
eroi s hearts. You have sent your sons to bat
tle, and you have given money that you have
earned by hard toil in your fields. Rut what
sacrifices have these men made? None! NONE!!
NONE!!! They get high office, and call it—
LOYALTY! They enrich their families, and
call i:—LOYALTY! They buy lands, and
they build fine bouses, which your hard toil
pays for, and call it —LOYALTY.
Next:—
ONLY BEASTS OF BI:I:DEN.—The Abolition
leaders look upon the people, even of their own
party, as beasts of burden.—Nothing more.
They say to them : *You bo LOYAL; you pay
the taxes; you furnish the ponscripts; you suf
fer the privations. As for US, WE will do the
spouting, hold the office, and draw the pay.
We will love the government and—bo loyal,
and—abuse the 'Copperheads,' and—get very
moil and keep safe."
Another specimen:—
We believe in Old Shafer, and in all that ha
believes. Every man is a "traitor" that does
not believe as Old Shafer does.—Every man
who will not vote as Old Shafer does ought to
be shot.*
Still another hit:
Wo regard it as "passing striinge," if not
"pitiful," that the Government is compelled to
draft unwilling men into its service, when the
country is so full of ardent patriots. Thoso
who clamor so loudly and persistently for a
vigorous prosecution of tho war, ought to "dry
up," and volunteer.
"That's so." l'iteh in, gentlemen.—There's
room enough among the "three hundred thous
and more!"
Only an Irishman.
A correspondent of the N. Y. World writing
from Philadelphia, August 8, says:—ln Juue
hist, during the excitement caused by the open
ing, in a fashionable mansion on Chestnut street,
of a negro recruiting depot, under tbo auspices
of the so-called 'Loyal' League, 'Colonel' Thom
as, one of the most native members of that body
being iisked, 'What do you intend to do with
these men?' replied, 'To shoot down the G—d
d—d Irish."
The gallant colonel's intentions were carried
into effect on Thursday last. On the Chcltau
! lliils, the most lovely spot in the vicinity of this
! city, a choice space of ground has been taken
! possession of to form a negro camp,
j On Thursday evening last, an Irishman, liv
ing with Mrs. Jolm Hutier as coaclunan, in the
immediate vicinity of the camp, was returning
with his wife and three small children (theyoung
est of seven) from an ineffectual attempt to get
off a younger brother who had been drafted.
Proceeding along a public highway, he ar
rived two hundred yards i'roiu home, on the
edge of the wood in which an encampment is
located. Ilere ho and his party were stopped
by the challenge of a sontry. This proved to bo
a nogro on the other side ot the fence separating
the camp from tho road. After answering his
challenge, the negro ordored the party to move
on. The woman and tho two elder children did
so. The Irishman witli tho youngest child in
his hand, stayed time enough to remark, 'Why
should I move on. lamon a public highway.'
Tho negro hailed the corporal of the guard,
'Hero's a fellah who won't move on.' The
immediate reply was 'shoot him.' This order
was at once obeyed. The negro fired; the
bullet, narrowly missing tho child |>assed through
the Irishman's wrist, and entered the intestines.
The man fell and died in twenty minutes.
Colonel Wagner, the commander of the regi
ment bus written to Washington justifying the
occurrence 011 die ground that the man was an
Irishman.
