Patriot’s Duty.
The fresh sir of our own mountain home is be
iag breathed arotrnd ns—the Bowers in field, gar
and-wood are ahwiHing their .fragrance and
Mushing with beauty—the golden grain invites the
Allying sickle, while busy hands are gathering in
tM.truiks ft a plenteous harvest. Nature is every
WWyed in smiles, as if to show how kind a
good God:oairbe to erring man. As we have been
meditating on these things, we have also been led
to inquire, why it is, with all these glorious gifts
showered down upon them, coupled with the be
hign influence of the best government ever insti
tuted-on earth, that some men are still so unsatis
fied, as to raise the banner of rebellion and cast a
over ail the beauty and brightness thus
jthrhtfn around them?
How happy might we be as a people to-day, but
for the cure of an unholy rebellion. As it is, how
many hearts are robed in sadness—how many eyes
are filled with tears. Surely something akin to
that which caused Lucifer, Son lsf the Morning, to
rebel against the pure government' of Jehovah,
ninst have entered into the hearts of the wicked
conspirators who, through their evil machinations,
have caused a portion of this fair land to be laid
waste, while its Adds are crimsoned with human
gore.
We can bet think that Satan must have called a
eonncil in his chambers of darkness, in order to
devise sane means whereby troth might be sub
verted, mid human: government rendered less ca
pable of ministering to the happiness of mankind
—to which council, after due consideration, it was
determined to elect some of those wlio had long
4eA from Uncle Sam’s public crib, that, as traitors,
they might be made the, alas! too willing, instru
ments to accomplish the hellish designs of his Sa
tanic Majesty. Tis thus that a few Southern dem
agogues, aided, we doubt not, by Northern friends,
nave been set at work, with what success the re
cords of to-day but too plainly tell. But though
dark clouds may gather now, we still feel confident
that troth will, in the end, prevail—rebellion be
etched out, and our Government established
more firmly than ever before. It may cost millions
of treasure yet, and the blood of thousands of our
best citizens may be spUled, but when the contest
is ended, we feel that we must come out “as gold
fried in the fire."
But what, in view of the present state of affairs,
is the duty of every loyal American citizen? Not,
«V«redly, to prowl around like to feed
upon the carcass of the slain, nor yet, for their own
gain, to strike inore deeply the lancet into the veins
of a government, even now, bleeding at every pore.
tt hia duty to sit at home in bis easy chair,
to gromhle at those who have gone forth in the
name of God and liberty, periling their lives to
sottain our free institutions.
Jt is remarkably easy for men at home, in the
hepi* qf thepW Keystone State, to demand that
the army be kept out of the swamps, and to cry
atond for it to press on, and storm the enemy’s en
frlwdimeiitß. But we predict, that if some ofthose
whompke dm most noise on this subject, were
' Ptaeri in the front ranks, it would require a great
anfotrat cf urging, and no little pushing, to mate
any advance at all, unless they cpuldsee some place
in twamps where they could advance to hide.
Aa& we furthermore predict, that if an order were
given to retreat, they Would be among the first ta
ohqy, and show themselves at least full men—on a
nm. Shame on such characters, who thus give
aidrapd comfort to the enemy. There will un
donhfedly.lie sane mistakes made. Our best gen
eral# and wisest legislators, like other men, are not
infallible. We cannot justly look for perfection in
them, and he who asks it only exhibits his own |
imperfections.
What then, we ask again, is the duty of every
Iqy«l American citizen ? We answer, to calmly
consider and to promptly act. We hare always
thought that that man displays his patriotism to the
greatest advantage who says least and does most.
AU cannot go to the battle field. Nor js it best
that all should. Onr firms must be tiUedand our
manofiKtories kept in motion in order that food,
ctot&ng and the weapons of war may be provided
for those who have gone, and our railroads must
be manned for the purpoee of forwarding these
supplies. Yet there are many who can go, and,
we a» persuaded, many fho will go, not being
«üb«g to stand idly by and see the “dearoldflag”
trailed in the dust. To such we would say, now
is die time to respond to the call for men to fill
the.depjeted tanks. Forward march to the music
o( the Union, and
Strike till the last armed foe expires.
Strike for your altars and your fires,
Strike for the green graves of your sires,
God and your native land?
To wires, mothers, sisters and daughters, we
would say, do not, by any act of yours, retard our
glorious cause. What can home be to you with

who are dear to you, but if duty demands the sac

Sons of Pennsylvania in New York
We publish with pleasure the following circular
i from the scats of Pennsylvania resident in New
York City, who have reflected honor cat their State
by forming themselves into an association for the
purpose of looking after and providing for the sick
and wounded soldiers of Pennsylvania regiments,
as they arrive at that point. The high character
of the gentlemen connected with the association,
and the benevolence of their mission, is a guaran
tee that everything sent to them will be appropri
ately distributed. We must expect to be heavily
taxed in every respect, while the war continues,
but we should consider no sacrifice too great to
preserve our country or minister to the relief of
those who go forth to brave the dangers of the
battle-field:

Sir—The Sons of Pennsylvania resident in this
City, have formed an Association, for the purpose
of providing for the sick and wounded soldiers be
longing. to Pennsylvania Regiments, as they may
from time to time arrive here, on their return from
the seat of war to their homes. This Association
depends for support entirely on voluntary contri
butions, and in view of the large dementis sure to
be made upon it during the Summer and Pall, we
have felt impelled to appeal to the humanity and
charity of the citizens of our native State, to send
us at once, such contributions, in money and cloth
ing, us they can spare.
Be pleased. Sir, to bring this matter to the at
tention of the residents of your City and county, bv
having this Circular published id your Newspapers
and announced from the pulpits of your Churches,
or in such other manner as may seem to you meet.
All contributions will be thankfully acknowl
edged. Should further information be desired rela
tive to the Association, we refer vou to His Excel
lency, Governor Curtin.
N. ‘ B.—Our Pennsylvania Soldiers- here re
peatedly ask for Pennsylvania Newspapers. You
will be adding another favor to those already so
licited, by sending us one or more papers published
in your town, for the Soldier’s use.

Republican State Convention. —The Harris
burg Telegraph comes to us with nearly five col
umns'devoted to the proceedings of the Republican
State Convention. The Hon. J. C. Knox was
chosen permanent Chairman. The resolutions
adopted by the Convention re-aftinns the senti
ments of the resolutions adopted bv the loyal mem
bers of Congress, July 12th, 1862; express con
tinued confidence in the honesty, capacity and pat
riotism of President Lincoln and his constitutional
advisers, and approves the principles of foreign and
domestic policy on which they have administered
the government; approve of the administration of
Governor Curtin, as marked by extraordinary vigor
in the discharge of public duties, and untiring zeal
in the cause of the country ; acknowledge but two
divisions of the people of the United States—those
loyal and those disloyal; deprecate foreign inter
vention ; compliment the navy, and approve of the
manly course of Senator Wilmot, endorsing him
as the true and faithful representatives of the sen
timents of loyal Pennsylvania. Thomas E. Coch
ran was nominated for Auditor General! unani
mously, and William S. Ross, of Luzerne, for
Surveyor General.
The Juniata Sentinel has changed hands.
W. W. Davis, Esq., has vacated the editorial chnir
and is secceeded by Eev. A. L. Guss. Having
entered and sqrved our (the Senior’s) apprentice
ship, wrough some time as a journeyman and rose
to the position of Junior Editor, in that office, we
naturally feel as though we were meeting; one of
our own when we come across that paper, arid since
almost every subscriber thereto is our intimate ac
quaintance and friend we desire that they should
always have a paper worthy of their support. The
incoming editor was the playmate of our chiMb™q
the schoolmate of our boyhood, and the cdmpan
ion of our riper years. We know him like a book
well studied, and predict for him a bright and useful
career on the editorial tripod. The patrons of the"
Sentmei will find in him a man worthy of their
support. He has the ability to make the paper
one of the very best, in a literaty point of view, and
sufiicient discretion to conduct it to" the best inter
ests of those for whom he labors. We hope he may I
meet with better seccess than those who have ure
[ ceded him. 'I
®-Th ißdkfonte Watchman, one of the most
contemptible Jeff Davis truckling sheets with which
we have ever defiled oar fingers, says:—“From
other sections of the country we have news of ‘great
uprisings’i and of men enlisting by the hundred, but
here all is quiet add nobody seems to be in the
least concerned.” We cannot believe that there
is a township or town in the loyal States wherein
the people are unconcerned as to the fate the
country, unless, perchance, there should be a lo
cality inhabited by such trnth-preverters andtrea
son-abettors as the men who edit the Watchman.
Nor would they be unconcerned. Their concern,
however, would not be for the perpetuity of the
Union, but for the success of the Southern Con
federacy. If the people of BeUefonte, or Centre
county, are at all imbued with the sentiments pro- !
mulgated by the Watchman, we do not wonder that i
they are unconcerned, and that they are willing to ]
et the Union slide. These conclusions -are do- i
uced from editorials which appear in the last !
number of that paper. ■

Total,
the early part of the week we had news from
the West to the effect that the rebel gunboat Ar
kansas came out of the Yazoo river, attacked the
Federal fleet and sunk or seriously damaged three
boats, and escaped under cover of the guns of the
battery at Vicksburg. The official account of the
affair, as famished by Capt. Wise, says that none
ot the boats of the Federal fleet were damaged, but
that the rebel boat was pierced by a seven inch
steel pointed shot. The Arkansal is one of the
best boats belonging to the rebels, mounting twelve
rifled 68 pounders.
Captche of Ges. Mo Caul,—A letter received
in Philadelphia, from Gen. George A McCall,
cocludes with the following account of his capture:
_ “ After dark, the battle still raging on the right,
I brought forward some 500 men, rallied by Lieut.
Col. Thompson, and riding in advance, in the ob
scurity of the evening, I rode right into the Forty
seventh Virginia, drawn up under some trees, and
so ended the chapter.
Proclamation by the Governor.
To sustain the Government in times of common
peril, by all his energies, his means and his life if
need be, is the first duly of every loyal citizen. ’
The President of the United States has made a
requisition on Pennsylvania for twenty-one new
regiments, and the regiments already in the field
must be recruited. Enlistments will - be made for
bine months in the new regiments and for twelve
months in the old.
The existence of the present emergency is well
understood. No patriot will pause now to investi
gate its causes. We must look to the future. Ev
erything that is deaf to us is at stake. i
Under these circumstances I appeal with con- i
fidence to the Freemen of Pennsylvania. You
have to save your homes and vour firesides—vour
own liberties and those of the whole country. ‘
I call on the inhabitants of the counties, cities
boroughs and townships throughout our borders to I
meet and take active measures for the immediate
furnishing of the quota of the State.
Let those who cannot go themselves contribute I
to provide bounties, equal, at least, to those offered !
by adjoining States. i
The Constitution prohibits me from drawing
money from the Treasury without authority of
law, and I will not cast a doubt on the patriotism
of our citizens by assuming the necessity of calling
the Legislature at this time.
This is no time to wait for Legislative action
and the negotiation of loans. Delay might be
fetal. To put down this rebellion is the business
of every man in Pennsylvania: and her citizens
Will show on thus occasion that thev do not wait
for the slow process of legislation, and do not de
sire to throw on the Treasury of the Common
wealth a burden which they are individually ready
to bear themselves.
The conduct of our men already in the field has
shed immortal lustre on Pennsylvania. Let their
brethren fly to arms to support them, and make
victory speedy as well as certain.
I designate below the number of companies
which are expected from the several counties in
the .State, trusting the support of her honor in this
c!? 9 rL5 aS m : l - v be safely trusted,) to the loyalty,
fidelity and valor of her freemen. * ■
Whilst the quota of the several counties is fixed
equitably so as to fill thetequisition for twenty-one
regiments, let not the Ipval people of any county
limit their exertions to the enlistment of the com
panies named.
Oar heroic sons of Pennsylvania have moistened
even-battle field with their blood; thousands have
biavelj- died defending the unity of the Republic and
the sanctity of onr flag, and other thousands have
faluen sick and wounded, and their places filled
ireemenof Pennsylvania! Friends of Govern
ment, of order, and of our common nationality'
one earnest struggle and peace will again dawn
upon us a happy, prosperous and united people.

Very Important from Arizona.
The Pittsburgh Chronicle says that dnring the
late exhibition of Van Amburgh's menagerie at
Monongafaela City, a fearful and exciting scene
occurred. It appears that shortly after the audi
ence had assembled, a terrific storm arose, which
tore the canvass into rags, and threatened serious
injury to the spectators. While the Storm King
roared and revelled, oneof the huge tigers got out
of his cage, which added new terror to the scene.
The vast assembly swayed from side to side, first
to that part of the tent which had been blown off,
and then to the main entrance. Some jumped
from the top of the seats out through the opening
between the top and the circular inclosure; others
cut themselves a passage through the canvass, and
all rushed with one accord for any place of escape,
preferring to brave the storm to taking their
[ dunce for life amid the crashing timbers and fu
rious wild beasts. Womep shrieked for help and
children cried; strong men looked pale, and tak
ing the confusion of the multitude, and the raging
of the storm, the scene was fearful and appalling.
The keepers of the animals stood by the cages of
these wild denizens of the woods and jungles with
anxious looks. The man who kept the elephant
Hannibal, stood in front of the huge brute with
his hands upon his tusks, as pale as a corpse
One of the lions had partaken of the excitement
and his glaring eyeballs, erect posture, and ex
tended and flowing mane, gave an idea of how he
looks in his native forest. The tiger jvhich had
escaped from his cage, was driven back by Mr.
iuto the same cage with this lion,
and the king of the %oods had put his huge paw
upon him, and was holding; him tight upon the
floor. Nature, grand and terrible, was on exhi
bition. at this show. After some moments of fear
ful confusion the storm ceased, and the audience
separated, but not until several had been injured
from being trampled on and bruised in the general
confusion which prevailed. The editor of the Re
publican from whom we get the above account,
fixes the damage done to dresses and bonnets
alone, at two thousand dollars. j

stated that the cause of Gen. Mitchell’s visit to
Washington was a disagreement between him and
