The Huntingdon Camp.
While at Huntingdon, on Saturday last, j
we availed ourself of an invitation ex-1
tended by Captain Bell, and Dr. Forney,
to tide out to the camp of instruction lo
cated near that place, to be under the com
mand of Gen. James. The site selected
could hardly be better adapted for the pur
pose. It is on the farm of Mr. Shoema
ker, near the Warm Springs, and about
two and a half miles from the town' of
Huntingdon. It is a Large clover field
which has a slight descent on three-sides
from the centre, thus securing dry quar
ters and drill-ground at all times. There
are several springs of most excellent water
just at thc edge of the,field. If we were
going into the army we could not desire a j
more- pleasant place in which to receive j
instruction. Gen. James is said to be j
well qualified for' the position assigned
him, having had considerable miliary ex
perience. Two companies, viz: Captain
Crowther’s, from Tyrone, and Capt. Flem.
Holliday’s were in camp, and four
, or five more were expected on Monday
and Tuesday. Among the recruits we
fpund our jovial friend Bob Hopkins, who
is playing the part of Orderly Sjorgeant
in Capt. Crowthor’s company. Bob is a
“regular brick,” and there will be fun in
the camp so Icing as he is about—espe
cially-when he assumes the part of a pul
pit orator. Dr. Forney, the Surgeon of
thecamp, is an affable gentleman, well
skilled In his profession, of large iexperi
encc in camp life, and will be popular
with the soldiers. We witnessed his first
surgical operation in hia new position; it
was that of bandaging the finger (or what
was left of a finger) of one of the recruits.
Sard recruit had been been out practising
with a pistol, and in putting a cap on it had
caught it iu such a manner that his little
finger came over the muzzle, and after
adjusting the cap the hammer slipped from,
under his thumb, causing it to, explode—
the' bullet cutting the finger clean off be
. low tfic second joint. Bought wit is said j
i to be the best, land the recruit will evi
ifcitly find it so if he has not paid too'
dearly for it. We learned, previous to
leaving Huntingdon, that Gen. James had
styled the catnp “ Camp Grossman,” by
which name it will hereafter be known.
The Nominees.
The Peoples' Party Convention, which
met last week, placed a full ticket in the
field- Wo are not in favor of party nom
inations at this time, ; nevertheless, since
they have been made, wc shall speak of
them as we find them.
The nominee; for Sheriff, Samuel Mc-
Caihant, is, we believe, quite as popular
and well qualified to fill the office, aaany
other candidate before the convention.—
Wc say this with all due deference to his
competitors, many of whom are, no doubt,
equally as capable of filling the position.
Mp. M. has merited this favor at tUe hands
of his party, and since we know him to be
a man of irreproachable character, perfect
responsibility and resolute disposition,, we
feel warranted in saying; that if he should
be elected he will serve the county 'faith
fully. '
Mr. Roller was re-nominated by accla
mation, for the Legislature. Ho made a
good representative last winter, serving
his constituents acceptably .so -far as we 1
know, qnd lo have supplanted him would
notbavobcen respectable treatment. We
can see no necessity for a change in the
representative of Blair county in the Le
gislature, and presume that Mr. R; will be
returned. -
•' With the other candidates we are ujpac
gnainted, and therefore will not speak of
them, ' ,*;■
fl®* The carelessness in the use of fire l ami
by ourtroops i« most astonishing. Sinoe the
bommeneement of thetwar we think that net less
tiuee hundredminhsTe been hilled or se
' *erely wounded by the accidental discharge of
fire-irmi In the handa of real or amateur sol-
dlera.-- The apparent Incredulity that person*,
guni, feel to their dabtruotive
cnote is amazing. _■ i v ■
The Hows.
- The latest adyicee from Washington |
show the boldness of the rebels and the j
desperation ef their erase. They seem*
determined to bring on a collision with I
the Federal forces but they want to make !
the latter the attacking party. They have
thrown up fortifications and erected mask* I
ed batteries along all the woods leading |
from Washington toward Manassas., and j
they are anxious to get our men in among |
them. la this we think they will be dia-;
appointed. While it is certain that they i
cannot reach the:jcity by any forward move- j
ment they, may make, and that they would
be defeated in an open engagement, we
' think it is the policy of the
tion and the commanders of our army to
let them alone ip their fastnesses for the
present, knowing, that delay, and attacks
upon the seaboard of the seceded States,
‘must consume and distract the army now
at Manassas. ;
The forts at Cspc Hatteras have been
supplied with: men, provisions and muni*
tions of war, sufficient to enable the Gov*
eminent forces to hold them against any
assault, and it is cheering to know that
the loyal citizens of North Carolina are
flocking to the standard of the Union. It
is reported and bejieved that ten regiments
from that iState mustered into the service
of the Southern; Confederacy have been
called home from Manassas.
The Uniomtrodpsbave crossed over into
with the advance
of the rebels into'the Southern part of the
State. .Our forces occupy Paducah.
Fourteen females have been' arrested
and are now held as prisoners at Wash
ington. .Their sex. no longer gives them
liberty to afford aid and comfort to the
enemy. Others will be arrested shortly.
Military movements at Washington are
now conducted so quietly that even the
citizens of that place do not know when
or how many troops arrive daily.
The State clectipn in Maine has resul
ted in the election of Washburn, repub
lican, for Governor. The vote stood
Washburn 7,191; Jameson,(War Dcmo
crat)3,29o; Dana,(Peace Democrat)!,3S7.
Gen. Bosencraiiz is now advancing
through Virginia, and shining news may
soon be expected from hia command. ;
Late reports from Missouri say that a
fight had; taken place between Lane’s
Kansas regiment and a body of rebels un
der Gen. Bains, ip which the latter was
completely routed --with a heavy loss, and
Gen. Baiqs taken prisoner. s
Accident on the Northern Cen
tral R. R.—Last Sunday afternoon ah
accident occurred on the Northern Cen
tral .Railroad, in the vicinity of Cookeys
ville, which .resulted in the death of four
New TTork volunteers and the wounding
of three others. - The accident, it appears,
was caused by the breaking of the axle of
One of the cars which careened over and
two' horses fell out and rolled on to the
track. The three bars immediately foil
lowing had every truck swept from under
them. The train was soon stopped and
several soldiers rushed forward in search
of the engineer, declaring that it was his
fault and they .would kill him. The en
gineer directed them to the wreck, and
detaching the locomotive from the train,
started toward Baltimore. The sol Tiers
discovering this, fired two shots after him
one hall passing through the window of
the engine house, and the other through
the hat of the fireman. The engineer aud
fireman were arrested and placed in jail
on their arrival at Baltimore. All who
were” killed or injured wet e standing oq
the platform of the cars, while those in
side escaped unhurt. An investigation
of the affair Was had, when it was shown
that the breaking of the axle was beyond
the control of the- engineer and that the
speed of the train was only twenty-one and
two-tenths miles per hour, the ordinary,
speed of passenger trains. 1 ■
Infamous Outrage in Missouri.—
On the 3d inst., a passenger train on the
Hannibal and St- Joseph Railroad
souri, was thrown into the Platte River,
by the, timbers ott the oast end of the
bridge having been burned so as to give
way-when the train reached that portion.
The entire train went down, and only one
man on ; the train, the baggage-master,
escaped unhurt. Some sixty persons were
more or jess and quite a number
were killed. The bridge was burned by
some of the rebels to that country. Could
auy punishment be severe enough for such
inhuman conduct? Among those who
were killed and injured were a number of
women aqd children.
W(Su We see by the Blainsviile papers
that the managers of the Conemaugh Val
ley Agrioultual Society hate agreed to
change the time ofibolding their Fair this
eeaaontothe 9th, 10th and ilth of Octo
ber. This will ootpe just one week later
than the Indiana County Agricultural So
ciety Fair, and will afford an opportunity
to attend -both Fain.
Beligious Patriotism. |
, We. publish with pleasure the following 1
resolutions passed by the Lutheran Synod
which was in session in this plaoe last week.
Thej breathe the spirit of true patriotsm
and devotion to the interests of religion
hud humanity. Coming from the source
they do, they are entitled to more than or
dinary consideration, and will have great-!
er weight than those passed by assemblages
of the people. They show us that in the ■
defetjee now made against a most unholy '•
crusade on the rights and liberties of a
free people, religiously as well as - politi- j
£ally considered, the sympathies and |
‘prayers of the ministers :of God arc on |
the side of the Union, and we know that i
|the “prayer of the righteous availeth .
much.” Here are the resolutions: ‘ !
Your Committee, uppoitcd to draft resolutions
expressive of tie sentiments of this Synod in
regard to the present war, and to whom was re
ferred the letter of Kev. G. M. Pile, wherein he
gives in excuse for his njn-atteudence that he
has eulisied in the army, would report the fol-
lowing:—•
Whereas, Wo bold the cause of our country
; in this hour of its trial to be the cause of God—
the cause not of this nation alone, but of Chris
tian progress and liberty throughout the world,
embodying what Divine Providence has wrought,
(through the ages, tor the advancement and bles
sings of the race: Axn Whkkeas, On the other
hand, we regard this rebellion as most unjust
ifiable ami wicked—ns an atlempt to destroy the
glorious fabric of Cijnstitutional and Christian
jliherty, reared by tbe toils and sacrifices of our
(fathers, whose precious blessings we have en
joyed for nearly a hundred years, and whose
growing glory has awed tyrants and cheered the
(faith of those who believe in the inalienable
jrights of men ; Therefote,
Resolved, That the course of the Government
against this rebellion is nothing'more tban'it is
called to do, by <ho voice of God in his written
word, us well as by the voice of humanity, speak
ing through its most truthful oracles.
Resolved, That we deem it the duty of the
Church openly to advocate the cause of the
Government, and to aid it by its effectual, fer
vent prayers.
Resolved . That we highly approve the appoint
ment, by the President of the .United States, of
a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, and
earnestly recommend to our people the strict
observance of that day.
Resolved, That regarding these things thus,
and knowing that Bro. Pile is unable to endure
the pulpit labors of the Ministry, we cannot
disapprove Siis course.
Respectfully submitted,

We copy the following communica
tion, dated Delay House, August 27th,
from the Inquirer, published at Wilming
ton, Del: —
Mr Editor:—Allow, me, ns an net of justice,
to say a lew words through your valuable sheet.
For the past three weeks I have been sojourning
hire, and bei ig constantly around the railroad
I have been obliged to notice tbe- movements of
our railroad Government officers at this station.
lam delighted here to'say a favorable word of
our old conductor, from the Pennsylvania Rail
road company. J. J Weitzel, who, through his
amiable disposition, and splendid qualific:nions,
has made himself so popular throughout the en
tire State of Pennsylvania. Col. T. A. Scott,
manager of Military Route, done well when he
selected our worthy friend, Col.. W , for the im
portant duty of .Government Dispatcher at the
station. The station is a very important one,
us there is but a single track between here and
IVashmgton, and as extras are constantly arriv
ing it is very essential, to have a practical man
here It requires the utmost vigilance on part
of Col. W.'to keep everything under good .disci
pline. Day and night extra trains, freighted
with syl tiers and mu .itinns of war, are arriving
and are immediately dispatched by the Colonel
—no better officer could have possibly been se
lected. In connection with Mr C Smith, act
ing Dispatcher fur the B. & 0. R -R , all works
harmoniously Through these two gentlemen
business is certainly greatly facilitated. For
my own especial edification 1 last week kept an
account of troops dispatched to Washington by
Col. Weitzel, and to my astonishment found
that it foots up to 11.000.
Such men. Mr. Editor, are worthy of notice and
I earnestly request that'you will let the Col ’g
friends know that be is still around with a kind
word and smiling countenance, for all. S.
Cheering i'uoM Kentucky. —The late
lietys from Kentucky gives us every rea
son to believe that she will wheel into line
anti come up fairly arid squarely for the
Union. A few days since., the lower house
of the Legislature decided, by a' vote of
73 to 20 to raise the Stars and Stripes
over the Stale Capitol. The Legislature
stands 77 Union to 24 secesU While we
have but little conGdcnce in Gov. Magof
fin, believing that he is disloyal at heart,
we still believe that he will be .compelled
to yield toithe demands of the people of
the State, or be supplanted. The State
will undoubtedly raise its quota of troops
fur the Union, and a number of recruiting
officers are now filling up companies.
Union Ticket. —The Union State Con- j
jvention of Ohio was held at Columbus on j
i Thursday last. It was largely attended,!
; and the union of the Democrats and Re- j
I publicans was enthusiastically received. I
iHoh. David Todd; the old War-horse of'
iDeniocracy, was nominated for Governor,;
and r Benjamin Stanton, Republican, for |
Lieutenant-Governor. - The balance o t the |
ticket was divided equally between the
Democrats and Republicans.
figL-Tbe Union county convention, of i
iHuntingdon county, nominated a full :
ticket, by selecting; in regular order, from \
both parties. John Scott, Esq., of Hun-1
Itingdqn, was nominated for the Legiaja- j
tare. This is a good selection. Mr S. is '
one of the most able men in the interior i
of the State, and would make a useful
member. Our cotemporary, J. A. Nash,
of the Journal d( American, was nomina
ted for county Treasurer. We wish him |
eucoess tox" sold acquaintance sake.” 1
A Voice from Old Kentucky.
If any man doubts the loyalty of a por
tion of the inhabitants of that noble old ,
State, let him read the following resohi- j
tions passed at a meeting held at Newport, <
in that State, on the 2d inat, which was :
addressed by Hon. Andrew Johnson, ofi
Tennessee:- • i
Resolved, 1. The existing war'was forced
upon the country by the Disunionists of the
South
2. As our fathers “pledged their lives, for
tunes, and sacred honor” to tbe foundation of
one Union, it is as little we, their sons, can do
to make the same pledge to maintain and de
fend, it.
8. In the language Of General Jackson—
“ Our Uuion must, and, by the Eternal, shall
be preserved.”
4. The Mississippi river, its mouth and all its
fountains, the country which lie* between the
Atlantic and'Pacific, the lakes and the gulfs,
must all helong to one and the same people;!
and that, too. Under one Government of the Um- :
ted Slates; or, in our judgment, war,- with all
its solemn and untold horrors, will hang upon
us and our children to the latest generation.
5 The Government which does not punish
treason, and cannot suppress rebellion, is not
worthy of the name.
6. On the subject of “sacred soil,” we would
say that the "soil” of Kentucky is only “sa
cred” when floated over by tbe Stars and
Stripes: and as to “neutrality,’’.with the high
est respect to everybody, and intending no
shock to delicate and sensitive nerves, We will
say that “armed neutrality” is “armed non
sense.”
7. Our Legislature, which meets to-day, should
promptly meet the war tax of $800,000; should
disband the.SialeGnards-; should refer the case
ot Ooveruur Magoffin to the Committee on Trea
son ; should resolve Breckinridge and Powell
out of their seats; should furnish to the Gov
ernment her quota of men; put ovr loyal men
upon an impregnable war footing, and, tipping
her proud bat to General Anderson, say to him
—“Walk in, my own Old Sumpter.”
8. Wc are for peace—every good Union man
deprecating war—and we demand that this war
shall cease at the earliest passible moment; that
is to say, so soon as it can be obtained with
American honor; so soon as all the rebels lay
down their arms, and treason is properly pun
ished, and our old flag floats over every foot of
our sail. The last dodge of the secessionists in
this city, for “peace.” is a trap too transparent
to catch even the weak and simple.
9. Wc welcome to our meeting our distin
guished guest, the Hon. Andrew* Johnson, of
Tennessee, now torn and sundered from his dear
wife and sweet children by wicked and traitor
ous hands. We, Kentuckians, in his presence
assembled, promise him that he shall be re
turned to their arms; we promise it here, un
der that pure shining heaven, by the sacred
honor of Kentuckians, and, by every drop of
her rich Union blood.
BeCAFTUBE O t THE ESCAPED RhINOCEROS.- 1 -
Dan Rice's rhinoceros, after enjoying his free
dom for twelve days in a swamp near Lacrosse,
on the Mississippi rijer, has been recaptured.
Tbe Lacrosse Democrat thus details the manner
of bis capture. “The brute” says our cotem
porary, “ came out of the water in the afternoon
about five o'clock, and with careful step walked
into Manger’s cornfield, filled his capacious bel
ly with corn, and on his way back got into the
chain trap whiih had been set by Messrs. Rot.
ter, Wrightsoh, Monger, and Col, Preston, the
agent of Mr. Rice, catching both fore feet se
curely fast’. A rope was thrown around bis
neck, and by severe choking the monster was
subdued and blind folded, when it at once gave
up, and was led like a calf to this city, and
caged for the time in Davis’ stone stable. Col.
Preston compensated each of the men who hel
ped in his successful capture with two hundred
dollars, and gave young Eggleson, who was
hurt on Saturday last, it thousand dollars in full
for all damages, besides paying the bill of Dr.
Cameron The monster will be taken to Mil
waukee ns soon as the cage can be finished,
which will be on Tuesday next ”
General M'Clf.llan’s War Preparations.
t\e learn from a'private source; worthy of
credence, says the Chicago Journal, that Gen.
McClellan, on last Tuesday morning, hadyf/Vy
tix batierries of artillery' of six guns each, of va-*
rieus caliber, and about 150.000 men at and
near Washington, nnd that this army will be in-~
creased to at least 200,000 men before the ctjd
of the present week. The and
drill of these troops are going forward with in
dustry nnd carc,‘ and of discipline al
ready apparent In every company', regiment and
brigade, is in the highest degree creditable to
the officers nnd the men. nnd promises great ef
fectiveness in nny future operations that may
be undertaken against the enemy. The move
ments of troops, and every-thing connected with
the arrtiy preparations, are carefully kept from
public (knowledge, but the facts above given—
to state which can do no harm now, but will
gratify public interest—may be relied upon,
coming as they do, from one who knows where
of he speaks. ‘
A Good Idea.— The Governor'of New Jersey
has sent a commissioner to visit all the New
Jersey regiments at the seat of war, and pre
vail upon the men to send their money hoipe,
either tor their families or for safe keeping.—
His plan is, to have the Chaplains go around a
few days before pay-day, and get the men to say
what amount shall go. nnd then bo on hand to
get the money from the paymaster. ' The whole
amount is then sent to the Governor, and the
men’s orders ou him are paid wherever the men
reside. This is an excellent idea, and one which
might be carried out with advantage by the au
thorities of our own State. We have no doubt
whatever, that if steps like the above were taken
with our troops, a large portion of their pay
would every month find its way to their families.
The Governor would do well to give the matter
his attention, as the plan is one which must
work well, and might be imitated with advan
tage by the different States having troops in the
field. ' - ■:
■ Fatal Accident—A painful and sad gloom
was past over our community on last Saturday
evening, on receipt of n telegram from Broad
Ton, announcing that Joseph H. Thompson of
this borough bad been fatally injured by a car
running off the track on a switch-hack leading
to the mines. Several other persons were
slightly injured at thq same time. Mr. Thomp
son was severely out and bruised, and lingered
in great pain: until about half past ten o’clock,
when death kindly loosed the silver cord The
deceased was a returned volunteer, having ser-.
ved three months in the ranks of the Standing
Stone Guards. He leaves a wife, three children
and a large circle of friends to nthurn his un
timely end. May that God who “ tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb” be their ffeind in this
sad hour of their affliction— Huntingdon Jour
nal.
Tb* Military Railroad,—The average
number of trains daily run over the road bo
i tween Washington and Baltimore isnoweighl
teen. So perfect is the system that, with the
aid of the telegraph. aU the stations are Under
the assisting superintendence of Thomas H.
.Canfield, that no accident whatever has occur
red since it has been a military route. The on*,
pacity of the road is more than equal to the de
»»k of the public service. *
Tub Tossabavt* aits feoAUtaa Kstrs.—lt Sbpdbh Dbat*.— On the enrol of the bmi]
appenrs tu be* tact that the rebels have persua- train on the Pennsylvania Railroad at Perrys
ded several of the ornre ekvage of the western villa, pa Thursday last, a gentleman by tha
Indian tribes to Join them: in their War against name of Friftlt, on descending, taps the pin

ing organised under Albert Pike, of Arkansas, visit to seme relatives in Perry county,
and others to take the field against the Union
men of the west.
Kansas is to.life first invaded—her people
massacred and scalped, andthe country desola
.ted by lavage warfare—and these attrocities are
to be extended into adjoining States and Terri
tories.
The Tomahawk and the scalping knife arc to
be called into requisition by the leaders of a re
bellion who have prided themselves upon their
honor, chivalry and. “nobility of manhood.”—
We are to have barbarian attrocities inaugura
ted equal in savage brutality to the Sepoy
butcheries in India.
Qur homes are to be destroyed by the merci
less blood-hounds of; the'wilderness—our wives
and children to be tomahawked and scalped—
aud the rich fields, the prosperous towns, the
happy households of the west are to be swept
away by the fury or incarnate heads, thirsting
for bloody horrors. .
Is there a western man who still hesitates as
to his duty in this .crisis? If so, let Kim be
warned by the exultant announcements of the
southern Journals, that they have formed an al
liance with the Indian savages, and will lead
them into a barbnrohs and desolating crusade
against our fire sides.
The pressure that will finally force us all to ap
preciate and perforin our duties, is becoming
more irresistable every day. —Chicago Journal.
Tbe Income Tax. —A* some misunderstand
ing continues to prevail with regard to the time
when tbe act levying taxes-on incomes goes into
effect, it may be proper tb state that it is tbe
Ist of January, next,; obt the Ist of April 1832,
as tbe original draught of tbe bill provided.—
Moreover, the tax is - payable on incomes re
ceived during the present year. The forty-ninth
section of the act contains this clause : “ The
tax herein providcd ahalli be assessed upon the
annual incomes of |he! persona hereinafter
named for the year proceeding the time for as
sessing said tax, to wit, toe year next proceed
ing the first of Janaary, All persons,
therefore, who, during the current year are in
receipt of incomes exceeding eight hundred dol
lars a year, must pay their tax at the rate of
three per cent on the Whole amount above that
sum.
Ot*E Soldiers in tHeTJasds of tub Enemy.
—A writer in the Slivanniah (Georgia) Republi
can asks the question—“ How shall we dispose
of the prisoners?” and answers it ns follows:
‘ALet the Quartermaster Genera! of the Con
federate States issue his proclamation, stating
that the prisoners will,be hired out to, the high
est.bidder for some specified time, and in Such
number as the hirer may desire. 1 know of a
gentleman in this city—a rice planter, who
would gladly take two hundred of the Yankees
on his plantation, to build up and mend the
dams of his fields. Heds more desirous of do
ing this, he says, as the Northern gazettes have
long asserted that we ean do without negro la
bor, and he is anxious of testing the question.
One good black driver to every forty Yankees
would insure good order and lively work among
them.” l '
Kit Carson Cosustj with a Keqimest. —The
Washington correspondent of a New,York paper
states that when lust; beard from. Kit Carson,
tbe Rocky Mountain Ranger, was busily engaged
in raising a corps of mounted rangers, composed
not of half breeds oil savages, but of shrewd,
practical trappers likA himself, who have spent
their lives on the pravies, and know of no en
joyment but that which pomes of wild adven
ture and vicissitude. With these, Carson pro
poses coming eastward'anil offering his services
to the General Government. He selects his
men himself, and accepts pf none unless quali
fied by long years of experience on the plains.
They will be mounted,on' swift Mexican mus
tangs, and will be firmed to the teeth with Colt’s
revolvers, bowie-knives add Sharpe’s rifles.
A Change op Song;—The Louisville Courier ,
a traitor paper, complains bitterly because its
circula- ion has beep stopped in St. Louis, whereat
the Journal says: , '
•’Ha! ha! ha I And so yon have caught it
yourself at last! When the Vigilance Commit
tees of Memphis, Nashville, and all of the other
principal Southern cities, suppressed The Louis
ville Journal within their respective limits—when
they even established censorships over tho Post
Office, and refused to let our paper pass or, to
any points beyonddhejn, jyou gpuld see nothing
wrong, no tyranny,, ho usurpation in the whole
busiuess. You thought itiright. You chuckled.
You laughed. You tanntbd. But now a cup of
the same sort, is put to lyour own lips; and
Lord! what a face you make! You ought to be
ashamed of yourself."
A Long Train:, —The Rochester Advertiser
says: Yesterday the longest train of cars that
was ever seen .in this city, and probably the
longest ever'seen in the world, passed over the
Central Railroad froth the East. It was one
mile and a quarter Pod jbirty rod* in length,
and was drawn by.five locomotives. Of course
but few of the cays were loaded. They were
bound to Buffalo, to bp there loaded with wes
tern produse. The same 1 paper states that the
passenger trains oh the road named are much
heavier than they, were a few days ago, and
that indications of a heavy fall trade are every
where apparent.
_ The effect; of our brilliant victory at
Hatteras Inlet ia, daily becoming more and
more perceptible. It has encouraged and rean
imated tho hearts of all loyal men, and fore
shadowed the snppressioh of the great conspir
acy; it has alarmed and terrified the traitors;
it has opened up hew moans for hastening the
termination of the war by increasing our facili
ties for? attack, and for sustaining the Union
men of the South; some of whom are already
