Retaliation,
From the accounts we have had of the
cruel barbarity practised upon our wounded
at Bull Iluu, by those who have heretofore
boasted that they were the “chivalry - ' of
the land, it would not be astonishing were
our soldiers, in the next great battle, to
retaliate. We read one account where
Surgeon Barnes, of the A. Y. Twenty
eighth Volunteers, had established his
headquarters under a ircc in the rear of
the regiment, and had hung up his green
sash, to signify Unit the pJace was under
tile care of a surgeon; and to him the
wounded were brought inf until he had
around him some thirty or more. He
was busy amputating limbs and dressing
wounds, when the rebels discovered the
place and the nature of the men in charge,
and. began to pour in musket-balls aud
projectiles from rifled cannon. The place
became unsafe cither for the Surgeon or
the wounded, and the Surgeon’s assistants
and servants having become separated
irom him, he was compelled to go himself
to procure ambulances. It required near
half an hour to secure these means of
conveyance for the wounded, and when
.he returned he found that every one oj
f/iose wounded men had been bayoneted
or sabred, and was dead ! Are not such
acts enough to arouse the worst passions
of our natures, and create a longing de
sire to repay in like manner ? While wc
deprecate a war of such a character, wc
fear that it is to be forced upon us. Al
ready the watchword of many regiments
in our army is “no prisoners,” which is
.equal to saying “ nty quarter.” This is
Tearful. It is destructive of all the good
qualities which we hope to find in the
true soldier. While there are many who
will not accede to the cry of “ no prison
ers,” and spare the suppliant for mercy,
all are not imbued with virtues of this na
ture, and woe be to the rebel who falls
into their hands. They have set our sol
diers an example in cruelty, which will
Hkely be improved upon to the sorrow of
live originators.
Hon. Simon Cameron.
la all the troubles and dangers our be
loved land has been .subjected to in the
past few months,' no mail has been more
faithful to his post, devoting the whole
time of his great mind and untiring en
ergies to his country's service, than the
present able, efficient and popular Secre
tary of War, lion. Simon Cameron. The
labor he lias performed, since the dth of
March last, both of body and mind, has
been almost .marvellous. -With a nerve
to suit the times, administrative abilities
of the highest order, quick, active and
untiring, joined to a perfect knowledge of
men and great experience in the business
world, Simon Cameron' is just tjic man
to-be at the head of the Wav Department
of the United States at h time like this.
If is admitted by the candid of all parties
that wo have had no Secretary, of War,
for many years, so combining in him all
the qhalitics so peculiarly fitting one for
the position, as the present one —whilst
all will readily admit, that at no time in
our country's history has that position
been coupled with the reponsibility and
the labor that rests on it now. Most for
tunate has the President been in his se
lection of (fen. Cameron, and most fortu
nate has the country been in securing the
services of the man.

THE EIGHT SPIRIT
There are a few party papers in the coun
try whose editors dare to assert their man
hood, and rise above the dictates of party
leaders, and among them.we are pleased to
find onr.rcspccted cotemporary, and fear
less leader of the Democratic party in
Huntingdon county, the editor of the
Huntingdon; Globe. He dares to call
things by their proper names, and in do
ing so styles the New York Day Bool: a
traitorous secession publication, and warns
the public against it. In speaking of a
Democrat in that county who defended
the course of the Day Bool: , and charged
that the, present war was one between the
Abolitionist of the North and the people
of the South, and declared that he would
sooner hear of the Rebels taking Wash
ington, than that Democrats should take
up arms to defend it, he uses this lan-
guage
We cannot beiievo there arc cmny stick Dem
ocrats in the county ; if there arc, the sooner
they are known the better it will be for the
community in which they live, for the Demo
cratic party, and for the country. With men
who are so blinded with political passions as to
make it iicpossible for them to see the right and
stand by it, and by their Government, unless
their favorite political leader occupies the Pres
idential chair,,we want no fellowship. The war
was forced upon the country by the South—not
by the Southern people, but the Southern poli
ticians, who have for years been aiming at the
destruction of the Union. The honest masses
of the South have been dragooned into the will
of the political despetacloes, and it is now fur
the (me men of the Union to say whether the
great majority of the people will submit,to the
tyranny of the. few, .or still stand firmly and uni
tedly by‘our liberties and our fiag. Where our
flag goes, every man worthy of being called an
American will,’follow; and be who assails it in
arms, or be who sympathizes with those who
assail it, should be .looked upon as an enemy to
the greatest and best Government that ever ex
isted.
We know no other parly in the contest with
the Rebels of the South, or the Jlebds of the
-\or(h, thnn the one united party of the friends
of the Government. : We wLI not inquire wheth
er he who carries onr flag info the Rebels’ camp
is a Democrat or a Republican; or whether he
who directs our army is of this or that party.
If the army moves to punish the enemies of our
flag, we shall not first inquire.the political opin
ions of the President before we give the move
ment our sanction. ‘ Abraham Lincoln is at the
helm—placed there.by the people—and we shall
look to h|m to save this’Union from destruction..
Wc have confidence in bis patriotism, and we
shall not hesitate to give him all honor in his
efforts to crush rebellion; and when victory
crowns his efforts, jhe will receive the plaudits
of all good men, irrespective of party. -
What a blessing to the country, and
what a stimulus to those who go forth to
battle for Union as it is, would be the
press of the loyal States, did the editors of
each possess the spirit evinced in the above
extract. They must yet come to it or they
must go down. The people will under
stand the cause of the war, and the only
way of sustaining the Union; and he who
seeks to raise: a false issue, or divide and
distract the friends of the Union, will
meet with that scorn which his traitorous
conduct deserves.;
'‘Green be the turf above thee.”
On Sunday last, at his sister’s residence,
in the borough of Huntingdon, William
S. Africa, known to most of our readers,
quietly expired. He is dead. It is with
sorrow we record it. Noble, generous and
true, he has gone. Mr. Africa was a na
tive of Huntingdon, and for many years
Prothonotary’s clerk, in his native county.
On the division of the county he removed
to Hollidayshurg, where he has been act
ing in the capacity of Chief Clerk in'- the
same office, until within a short time of
his death. His advantages of education
were limited, yet he possessed a strength
of mind, vigor of intellect, and solidity of
judgment, which would have capacitated
him for much higher sphere of action in
life (had he aspired thereto,) than that in
which he was content to move. His nat
ural aptitude and good sense were exercised
and improved by constant habits of criti
cal observation of men, manners and things.
Quick, as well as accurate, no one could
come in contact with him, without being
struck with his business qualifications.—■
Always obliging and attentive, he was a
universal favorite with all who visited the
Profchonotary’s- office.
It is sad to think that one, who has been
so useful to the world in a limited sphere,—
and who might, and we doubt not would,
have moved in a broader field of afctioa,
had life been spared,—should be thus cut
down in the prime'of his manhood. But
it is not ours to murmur at the decree of
Him ‘‘ who docth all things well.” Mr
A, will be much missed, and although af
ter death one is soon forgotten, we feel
sure Ac will long bo remembered by many
as ah honest man, and a true and devoted
friend.

GST No person can look at the petition
which this State occupies without a feel
ing of honest and patriotic pride. Her
bearing throughout this war has been with- ;
out ostentation, and she has done her duty t >
not caring whether she was the theme of \
fulsome newspaper articles, or the subject
of constant commendation. Her sons
were the first to go to the Capital—her
sons were among those who shed their
blood at Baltimore. Her regiments are in
the East and in the West. They have
been in the armies of M’Clelian, McDow-:
ell, and Patterson. They have fought in
Western Virginia, in Northern Maryland,
and along the banks of the Potomac. Her
response to the first demand for troops
was speedy—no less speedy was her re-;
sponse to the second. And,of the fifteen ;
regiments sent to Washington since the ;
President’s second call, ten are from loyal j
Pennsylvania.
Our State now has almost ready ibr the
field:
One regiment of Cavalry, of
One regiment of Artillery, of
Twelve regiments of Infantry, of 1,040
men each,
fourteen regiments accepted directly
by the U. S. Government, of Tfo4o

Under the first requisition for three
months volunteers, our State furnished
19,520 men—thus showing that in thp
space of six months Pennsylvania has con
tributed as her quota for suppressing re
bellion 91,320 men.
We print these figures, not froni any
feeling of vanity, nor even from a pardon
able spirit of State pride; but to simply
place our State properly on the record,
and to show precisely- what she has done
to maintain the integrity of the Union.
J®“Some of those journals that pre
sumed to take the management of the af

the Cabinet and Gen. Scott, and whose
constant cry was “On to Richmond
have, since the battle of Bull Run, in the
heat of their indignation at the defeat
they have brought upon the army of the
Republic, called for changes in the Cabi

upon them, by casting the blame upon
others. But no changes will De made.—
The people approve of all the acts of the

lost in calling new men into important

with unfaithful servants at home; Wc

is a fearful reckoning in store, but they
are not those to whom is entrusted the
movement of our armies
Some who now
occupy prominent positions, will, when the
conflict is over, sink far below even Jeff
Davis in the estimation of their fellow

who have been faithful to their trusts
remember that history will do them jus

may now revile them.

Heady to Advance on Washington.
—A correspondent of the Memphis Ary us
writes under date of Hichmond, August
6th;—“l am informed by a friend from
Manassas, who remained in the city but a
few hours, that everything is in readiness
for an advance upon Washington. If we
reach that city, drive the enemy from the
Belay House and Baltimore, capture Fort
McHenry, and be in readiness to march
to Philadelphia, should it be necessary to
do so, we may consider the war virtually
over. The Northwest, however, is just
now in a critical position. General Wise
has retreated to Lewisburg, and will prob
ably await there the arrival of Gen. Lee,
unless Gen. Cos should pursue him from
Charlestown. In that event he will lead
his four thousand to some impregnable
pass in the mountains, and, if the worst
comes, this spot bo will consecrate as a
second Thermopylae.”

GREAT BATTLE IN MISSOURI.
Gea. Lyon, Ben M'Cullocli and
Gen. Price Killed.
Gen. Lyon, in three columns, under:
command of himself, Seigel and Stnrgcss,
attacked the enemy at 04 o’clock, on the
morning of the 10th, nine miles south
east of Springfield. The engagement was :
scyertrr Our loss is about 800 killed and |
wounded.
Gen. Lyon was kiiled in a charge, at;
the head of his column;
Our force was 8,000, including 2,000 '
Home Guards.
The muster-roll reported taken from the
enemy, gives their force at 24,000, inclu
ding regiments from Louisiana, 7 Tennes
see and Mississippi, with the Texas Ran-1
gets and Cherokee half-breeds. This
statement is corroborated by prisoners |
taken. Their loss is reported heavy,
including Gens.'M’Cullocli and Price.— '
Their tents and wagons were destroyed in :
the action. i
Gen. Siegel lost one gun bn the field,
and retreated to Springfield, whcnce/at

THE LATEST.
St. Lolts, Aug. 13.—The dispatch contains
the same intelligence as that conveyed by Gen. .
Fremont’s, with the exception that the sum of'
money brought by Qfn. Siegel from the Spring- j
field bank is placed at 520,000. •
It embraces the following more detailed ac- |
count of the conflict: - _ i
20,120
The following is a verbatim report bTthe spe- j
cial messenger to Gen. Fremont;
Early on Saturday morning Gen. Lyon march- i
ed out of Springfield, and came up with the en- |
emy on Davis Creek, on Green’s Prairie, four i
miles southwest of Springfield, where they had
taken a strong position. i
Gen. Lyon fired the first gun at twenty min- j
utca past six o’clock, when the battle iutmedi
ately commenced.
A severe cannonading was kept up for two or
three hours, when the fire of Totten’s artillery
proving too severe for the enemy they gradually
fell back towards their encampment on Wilson’s ,
Creek.
4,100
5,000

Lyon’s cavalry on the left flank, and Siegel’s
artillery on the right, then began a terrific at
tack, and spread disaster and dismay in the
ranks of the rebels, pursuing them to the camp.
The shells from Totten’s aitillery set fire to
their tents and baggage wagons, which were all
destroyed.
A Louisiana and Mississippi regiment seemed
to suffer most, and were almost annihilated.
Some time in the afternoon, while Gen. Lyon
was leading his column, his horse was shot from
under him. He immediately mounted another,
and as be turned round to bis men, waving his
hat and cheering them on to victory, ho was
struck in the small of the back, and fell dead to
the ground.
The command then devolved upon Gen. Sei
gel, and the pursuit was continued until night
fall, when our little array rested for the night
in the enemy's encampment.
On Sunday morning Gen. Scigcl, fearing that
the enemy might recover and attempt to cut his
command from Springfield, fell back on that
city where the Home Guards were stationed
Then, fearing that the great numbers of the
enemy might induce them to get between him
and Holla, Gen. Seigcl concluded to fall back
on Holla with his prisoners and baggage trains,
and meet reinforcements.
At the time of the departure of the messenger
the enemy had not been seen, and it is probable
that Gen. Seigcl had not been disturbed on bis
march.
M’inety rebels were captured, including a Col.
of distinction, the messenger not; remembering
bis name.
The sword and borse of Gen. M’Cullough are
among the trophies of the battle field. ’
Reinforcements for Gen. Seigcl were on the
way to Holla, and the army may he considered
as safe.

—We don't wonder that an indignant regiment
mobbed the office of a New Hampshire paper.
The editor should have been strung up a wee
.jbit. Here is only one of a few specimens of the
matter which the edition of the paner referred
to contained:—“Our Southern papers are filled
with heart sickening accounts of the murders'
and robberies which individuals in Old Abo’s
Mob are perpetrating on the Southern people.
Innocent women and children are shot on their
own doir-steps, for wearing what is called ‘Se
cession bonnets.’ No wonder the Northern pco-
I pie run when the honest men of the South march
| toward them.” This was too much for Yankee
endurance, and hence the mob, and the destruc
: tion of the printing office.
i Japanese Gardens. —Fond ns the Americans
are of their gardens, they would appear to he
; excelled in this respect by the Japanese. Evc
, ry one of these singular people, both rich and
; poor, is said to have a garden—the latter, if
' possible, both in front as well as in the rear of
j their cottages. In them they cultivate the plum
1 and cherry, not-for the fruit, but the flower.—
| Dy a peculiar treatment they improve them so
i much as to make the flowers become as large as
i roses Indeed, it is stated that plum blossoms
; have been seen four timbs the size of our com
■ moo cabbage roses. In the season when they
arc in full blossom, these trees afford a delight
! ful sight in the gardens and about the temples
; and public walks.
' A Clinch Kit. —The Louisville iJemtcrat says,

try held together by force: “We all, indeed,
>doploie the use of force in executing laws; but

i tion of a country. It is certainly no more des
' potic to try to save a country by the sword than
| to undertake to destroy it by the sword.”

Nelson and Brownlow of Tennessee. eft-Reader, have yaa seen Prof. ?.
advertisement in onr paper. Head it; it vril’
The Secession scoundrels of Tennessee, hav- tereat T 0„
ing disposed their legions among the unarmed / *
and loyal Unionists of East Tennessee, hare at "
last summoned op resolution sufficient to com
mence the work of arresting those gallant lea
ders, whose only crime has been remaining true
to their country, when nil around were basely
betraying her. The latest news from East Ten
nessee is to the effect that Gen. Zolticoffer has
dared to suppress the honest and outspoken
Union paper conducted by the brave old Parson
Hrownlow—the KnoxviUe h'/iiy. iVe will soon
hear of the fighting Parson in some other char
acter. Hon. Horace Maynard, of Tennessee,
who has been in Cincinnati for some days, says
that his colleague, Hon. T. A. Nelson, was arrest
ed in attempting to mike, bis way North, and
that he is to be tried on a charge of treason'.—
Mr. Nelson’s route led him through a corner of
Virginia, where he was discovered and taken by
a party of Secessionists. Messrs. Nelson and
Maynard have just been elected to the United
States Congress, by their old constituents, Who
are still true to the Union.
Mr. Maynard says the Union feeling is 'warm
in Eastern Tennessee, and that the people are
anxious to fight for the-preservation of the Gov
ernment. He is astonished to find an anti-war
faction appearing in the North, and to learn
that there are here amUthere persons willing to
make peace by consenting to the destruction of
the Union. Secession was rapidly sinking in
the South before the battle of Manassas The
victories of Gen. M’Ckdhai’s forces in Western
Virginia had a very disheartening effect upon
the Secessionists. Even now, many people in
the South believe the Manassas battle stories
in the Secesh papers'must be composed chiefly
of falsifications. They have been lied to so ex
travagantly that they have become very incred
ulous.

Arrest or a Reverend C'i.EnK. —The Rev.
T. Fiske, a L’nivcrsalist preacher, editor, etc.,
formerly of Philadelphia, has for some time past
held a good position in, the dead letter depart
ment of the Post Office, i By his folly he has fal
len. For some time past the meagre rctruns he
was making caused suspicion. On Friday mor
ning last, before the reverend gentleman Lad
commenced his work, i couple of letters con
taining marked notes apt! specie were put into
bis pile. In the afternoon, as usual, lie stated
to the chief of the office that he had no returns
to make, and he was at once arrested by an of
ficer who was present. He was searched, and
the marked money found upon his person. In
the drawer of his desk : a number of licentious
books, which fitly correspond with his pretended
character for strict morality were found. Thro’
the intercessions of hisiwife and daughter, who
.soon heard of his arrest, the legal proceedings
against him were dropped, and he was dismissed
from office.
Touching Incident of run Battle Field.
—A staff officer from engaged in
the battle of the 21st of July, says; “I rode
out the day after the battle to view the ground,
and passed piles of dead in various positions
Under a large tree 1 saw a body lying, a well
dressed, with a fancy sword, and a hankerchief
over the face. It attracted my curiosity. 1
stopped, removed the handkerchief, and saw one
of the handsomest faces 1 ever met'with, of a
boy not more than 12 or 14 years of ago. His
appearance and dress indicated high social po
sition; probably he was a temporary aid <o a
general officer. To ascertain who he was t ex
amined his pocket, and found a testament, in
which was written. ‘JarucsSimmons, Mew York.

Garibaldi and the War.— There is no truth
in the report that Garibaldi proposes to help us
out of our troubles. The Washington corres
pondent of the Philadelphia /V--s says: “A
gentleman here, personally acquainted with
Garibaldi and his son, received a letter from the
latter, a few days ngq; in which the son says
he desires himself to come out and take a part
in the struggle now going on here for liberty,
but.that his father objected, on the ground that
ours was a family quarrel, and could be settled
more easily without foreign influence than with
it; that it was based On a polical question, in
which the nations were not interested; and in
the settlement of which they could not become
parties. These are new the views and senti
ments of Garibaldi, as'Expressed by his son, in
a private correspondence of very late date.”
A Secession Fader;Cleaned Oct. —The of

an article reflecting on the soldiers. They de
manded liptniction, and the Fulmers—-the edi

out of the windows, and dared the mob. while
the city authorities endeavored to quell the dis

A Desperate Scicide.—A foreigner named
Frank Howard, who seems to have had no re
lations in this country, perpetrated a most des
perate suicide near Eaton, Ohio, on the 31st ult.
He went to the barn, set it on fire, and after the
fire had got a'fair stairt, with the intention of
removing every trace of himself,\hc then mu his
throat and immediately threw himself in the
fire. Rut the loss of Idpod did not ca c the pain
of burning. Human nature could not endure
if, and with his clothes burned off, and his flesh
literally on fire, ho jumped into a wcli, that
drowning might take place of burning, and in
this condition his dead body was found.
