WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 2,18 GS
49* Should there be ou riot In .tohns-
town, between this time and the day on
which the conscripts from that locality are
called upon to report, it will not be the
fault ofthe Johnstown Democrat. Prim
ming upon the-ignorance of the laboring
class in Cambria county, the editor of the
Democrat has devoted all his time and
space to misrepresenting the conscription
act, and endeavoring to bring on a colli
sion between the conscripts and the au
thorities. All who can read, and who
hare seen .the act and read it for them
selves, know the falsity of the Democrat's
articles; but there may be those who read
no other paper than the Democrat , or who
hear hut the truth- of the mhtter, who may,
by Such teaching, he induced to resist the
laws, andanuntoldamount ufiniserybethe
result. In reading the editorials of that
paper, it seems to ns that its future exist
ence depends upon the riotous resistance
it is endeavoring to stir up. If the con
scription act was what the Democrat rep
resents it to be, it would be resisted in ev-'
cry district in the State; but the fact
that it is the most humane that a limited
space of time enabled men to frame, and
that it is constitutional, compels all good
citizens to yield it their support and bear
its. burdens when it falls upon them.—
Conscription is neither unconstitutional
nor humiliating; It is a law in all coun
tries. The present conscription law ofthe
United States is the most lenient ever
framed. It could not be more lenient and
be of any benefit' to the country, "fliere
are but few pajiers of the JiomocraCs class
to be. found, and perhaps none so design
edly false in their representations of the
conscription. A decent respect for the in
telligence of their readers prevents them
from pursuing such■acuurse.
Suppose the laboring class in Cambria
county should act upon the suggestions of
the Democrat and tiring on a collision be
tween themselves knd the authorities, as
did a body of deluded men, in New York
city, some six weeks since, and thereby a
portion of tlum loose! their lives, what
Would they have gained by resisting the
laws? Many not liable to the draft, and
others who, if they answered their con
scription, might fpcapfe the dangers of war,
would undonbfiedly .be killed in a riot such
as we refer to, and where would be their
gain? The remembrance of their friends
would be that they fell by th>ir own
hands, in.resisting the laws of their coun
try, and not upon a field of glory, uphold
the laws and endeavoring to preserve civil
and religious liberty, And what a fear
ful responsibility would rest upon those
who beguiled them men to their ruin
They would not tie in the riot. Oh, no.
They style the conscription act unconsti
tutional, oppressive, bumiiiating and par
tial, and picture its effect upon the poor in
tlie most.exdliag-language, and then close
up, perhaps, Ijy softly saying they are not
in favor of resisting the laws, or that they
hope then will be no resistance to the |
laws, thus leaving a hole to creep out at.
What subterfuge! If the conscription is
unconstitutional, they are not men worthy
of the name of freemen if they do not re
sist it to the last; but the fact that they
do not, and dare not, counsel in this man
ner is conclusive evidence that they know
it is oooslitational hut will not, for certain
reasons, plainly admit it. if we honestly
believed, and as - evenly inserted, as does
the Democrat, fhpt any law was unconsti
tutional and tyranical, our manhood, and
our liberty as a cifizen of a free govern
ment, would compel us to. resist it at all
hazards and to the last extremity. lias
would be justifiable and honorable. But
this thing of proclaiming a law oppressive
and .unconstitutional and then softly saying
“don’t resist it,” argues slavery more hu
miliating, than that of the African; or
cowardice too contemptible to be called by |
that pame, or a knowledge that what is i
asserted is untme. The latter position, in ’
such cases, is 1 Css enviable than slave or I
coward,
While we can put-no other ronstrucl ion
upon its teachings, we hope it is not the
senoos intention of the Democrat to L-ad
to .i«t*Uii>n inCmpbiia at this lime.—
ft«w<iwwww of such a course would
fall upon those least able to bear it„and yet
mu«tlikelyto.be connected with it. The
Government (not Abraham Lincoln and
his Cabinet, or any. other mui, or net of
men) must be sustained and the Union
preserveil, and to this end the laws must
be obeyed, and the demand For men, law
fully made, must be responded to, other
wise wo have no government; no liberty,
no laws, and every man is at the mercy of
his neighbor. '1 he editor of the Democrat
draws a touching picture of the conscrip
tion law tearing a man away from, his
family and placing him in the jaws of
death; but it is no more touching than
the picture of a once peaceful and pros
perous country, broken <in fragments' hy
rebellion, and its once happy inhabitants
drudging out their lives as slaves to a
monied aristocracy, scarcely receiving- suf
ficient for their labor to supply the mean
est sustenance to their famishing families.
We kn ,‘W it is hard for fami ics to part
with fathers, husbands, brothers and ions,
at the command of the draft, but our an
cestors consented to the sacrifice,- and up
to this time we have enjoyed what was
, rained by that sacrifice. And shall it be
recorded on the pages of history thatUhe
enlightened inhabitants of : this free,.and
happy country refused to make a similar
sacrifice to perpetuate Freedom and the
Union to their posterity. Never! no
never!
The Government having deluded that
the payment of $BOO, or the furnishing of
a substitute, was equivalent to a drafted
man serving himself, it is therefore the
duty of every man, not physically ojeempt,
to go himself, send a substitute, or pay
the government $3OO wherewith to pro
cure a man in his place.
Thk Advance of Roseckan and
Bcknsides.—'J he Army of the Cumber
land crossed the Tennessee river at lour
points on Saturday, with infantry find
cavalry. The 2d Kentucky Cavalry cap
tured thirty pickets at the point opposite
Stevenson. Gen. Reynolds captured a
large force at Shellmound, and took a
camp on Falling Water Creek. Among
the captured are the notorious guerilla
Mays, and the Tennessee rebel Congriss
man, Cannon Little. There was no,re
sistance mfide. The rebels are reported
in force at Rome, Cleveland and along the
Georgia State railroad. Gen. Burnside
is in the region of Kingston, and will at
tack that place before long.
An Important Expedition - -It is un
derstood that the troops now in New York
will, as soon as the draft is concluded in
that city, be dispatched on an important
expedition. Steam transports and sailing
vessels, to convey the force to its destina
tion, will be procured as soon as possible.
Says the New _York Sun ;
“The Army-pf the Potomac having many times
unsuccessfully atllaapied the capture of Richmond,
is likely to lie reorganized under another name;
anil, while Washington will not be left undefended’
the warriors of the Potom te will obtain glow in
another direction. Instead of spending the dog
days in the Virginia swamps, those gallant soldiers
will be transported at once to within a few miles
of the scene of their ojierations, and capture Rich
mond by their exploits hundreds of miles awav
from the rebel Capitol."

hat one of the judges of the United States Su
preme Court, supposed to be Justice Nelson, has
written an oppittion on the legal condition of the
revolted States on the conclusion of the war for
he suppression of rebellion, and this opinion is con
curred in hy the whole bench, including Chief
Justice Fancy. The opinion is said to maintain
hat the States in rebellion have lost their rights
as Sta’es, and must come into the Union simply
as territories subject to the General Government
and entitled to its protection. New State organi
zations may l>e formed by the people, under the
Constitution and lews ‘of Congress, as in the
case of Other territories but the old States cannot
come into the Union with their present orga
nization and officers still reeking with their hor
rible crime they have committed against the
national life.
Frighteneb to Death.— E. Knapp Pern, oi
Pottersville, \Varren county, Pa., died at the
United. States Hotel, in Plattsburg last week.
He was drafted from his place of residence, and
visited Plattsburg for the pnrjiose of exemp
tion. He was about consummating a marrrige
engagement, and the intelligence of his being
drafted so affected his affianced as to cause her
serious illness. This so worked upon Mr. P.'s
mind as to terminate in fearful derangement and
death. D -ceased was twenty-five years of age,
and was a medical student of rare attainments.
Seven Times Sold as a Sujbstitcte. —Among
the deserters arrested, through the agenev of the

turned to Boston, where he went into the busi
ness of selling himself ns a substitute with the in
tention of deserting at the first opportunity, to sell
himself to anodier person. Hj succeeded in
hiring as a sufistitute seven tints, obtained the
bomits, «nd deserted each time. He lodged at
one of the fashionable hotels in Boston, dressed
handsomely, and entertained his friends in princely
style. When he wanted to hire as a substitute he

Robert Toombs on Rebel Finances
A letter jjom Robert Toombs of Georgia, .dated
August 12, addremed tothe Georgia Con*tit*ti6a,
ha* been received in Washington. It is a strotag
picture of the dilapidated condition ofthe Southern
finances. It is deplorable in tone, and'Charaoter
izes the whole system of the rebel leaders as a
grand mistake. The following are extracts from
the letter :
The Confederate Government have committed
two radical errors in the management of our finan
ces which have produced our present calamitous
condition by die operation of laws of currency as
fixed, certain and immutable, as the laws which
govern the planetary system. At the beginning
of this struggle we; had large material resources
and unequaled elements of public credit. We
borrowed gold at par for our bonds', wealth lilJ
its treasure* at onr feet, and poverty itself claimed
it a privilage to augmei t our resources with jits
mite. Folly has matuly contributed to the drying
of this living fountain of public supply. The
first great error was in attempting to carry on: a
great and extensive war solely on credit without
taxation. When this revolution commenced our
currency was in excess of the wants of society ;
the proof is that nearly all the banks within the
Confederate States had suspended cash payments
and their notes had depreciated, therefore the first
Treasury note which was put into circulation pi
tied to its nominal value.
This excess each succeeding issue enlarged add
increased the depreciation of the whole mass.'—
This depreciation soon begun to manifest ilselti in
the rise of commodities; yet the Government has
unwisely continued daily hy a forced circulation
to add to this excess, increases this depreciation,
enhances the price of all commodities which it' is
compiled to purchase, and is thus exhausting (he
national resources in the ratio of geometrical pro
gression. This runious policy would have long
since ran its course but for the fact that law, inti
midation, and above all the ardent, sincere,
honest, but mis aken patriotism of the people,
have b.en invoked to uphold it. But, the princi
ple being radically wrung, no hitman power could
uphold it long, and iu spite of all these powerful
point's our national currency is depreciated more
than one thousand per cent, below gold and silver,
and four hundred per cent, below suspended bank
notes, and prices and payments are rapidly adjust
ing themselves to the inexorable fact.
Let us suppose that we have five hundred mil
lions of currency now in circulation, worth fifty
millions of standard bullion, the issue of an addi
tional five hundred millions will not add a single
dollar to its valm—the thousand millions will be
worth no more than the five hundred millions
were before the last issue, to wit fifty millions of
bullion. The addition has only depreciated-(he
whole currency by one half, and the depreciation
will invariably exhibit itself In the rise of the
commodities for which it was exchanged. The
government, therefore, if it expends the additional
in commodities, loses first the whole amount of
depreciation existing at the beginning, and also
all 'he additional depreciation produced by its
daily ex|icnditure, and the holders lose one" half
the value ol the notes.
The Federal Currency Complimented.
The hisiory of the cuirency of our enemies
since the beginning of the war, is humiliating to
us. Neither hail foreign credits ; both had pow
eiful established State governments at their back;
we were united in favor of the war, -whl l c they
weie divided. They have kept twice the number
oi men in the field that we have upon half the
money, ami paid their soldiers belter; than we
have. Their treasury notes sell at a discount of
less than thirty jier cent, ours at more than one
thousand. The reason is solely that their govern
ment has better understood and mo.e fimtly ad
hered to the true principles of currency than ours.
We must act, and that quickly. The public in
terest and public safety will no lunger allow delay.
Our present system is utterly insupportable, li
is upsetting the very foundation of private rights,
weakening daily public confidence in our cause at
home and abroad,' sowing dangerous discords
among the jieople, which are daily deepening and
widening. Patriotism demands that all good
men should unite to correct these evils.
How to Terminate the VVak.—A Southern
man writes to the Cincinnati Oumitierciai as fol
lows :—Hi w to terminate this war has caused
anxious thoughts, and baffled the skill of many
great men, and I fee) the most unfeigned distrust
of ray ability to make a suggestion ; but X will.—
In doing so, too, lam emboldened by the fact of
knowing the South, her feelings and resources
It the war is to continue, at the point of the bayo
net let Cliattanoga at once be taken, and extend
a line along the Western and Atlantic Kahroad,
owned by the State of Georgia, from Chaitanoga
to Atlanta, continuing the line to Augusta,
Georgia, on the Georgia Bailroad, then Georgia
will be mads useless to the South, from whence
nearly all supplies must come in tint future; and
mote, the conservative men in the heart of the re
bellion will lie enabled to return home and be pro
tected, and, if allowed, to defend the flag of their
country.
lam willing to pawn my life that this will
weaken the Southern army. To overthrow At
lanta Is the point that should at first be regarded
as the.cardinal point; it is the core of the whole
South. In addition to this movement, let there he
no tutsurpalion of power ; let the Constitution be
regarded, and men cannot be kept in the Southern
antiy. >
I was in Bragg’s lines when he fell back from
Tullalioma, and his desertions were by the thous
and. Hoes this nut prove my position ? All the
people want is protection, to return to their homes.
I trust in God that this communication will be
rend where it should be, and regarded. I hare
many that are dear to me in the South, whom I would
save. The graves of my beloved mother anid
father are there, and that of my brother.
My father was a Jackson Union man; a better
never lived. He named me afier the noble old
hero of the Hermitage, and though I love the
South, I am a Jackson man yet.
Hopelea*
Some time ago thoßichtnoml Kngmm- was con -
strained to say, “They are slowly but surely gauf- -
ing upon us, Hereby acre, and mile by mile,'' and
a correspondent «M£ : “ Unless Providence in- (
terposes in o«r behalf, of which I see no indica
tions, we no of time, be a ,
subjugated people." The Jubilant tones of the .
Richmond •• ktg are also gone | it moans a mis- :
erere, of which the refrain is “ ho/ititss The
Richmond press is loud in requesting Jefferson
Paris to snppresa tbe Raleigh Standard, but the .
Stund/mfii outspoken disaffection is not half so Uis
piriiing as the ever recurring hof*itxs of the Whig.
Far better shut up the Whit] than the Standard,
even on their own grounds. The burden of its
petition is for more men. The newspapers have
deceived the people. , Jeff. Davis and Lee know
far better, and their cry of agony for men tells
Rebeldotn that withnht «T prompt response, the,
issue is “hopeless.” If, alarming absenteeism,’
a new and euphemistic name for wholesale/deser
tion, he not arrested, their “ cause is hopeless.”
Aga<n it reiterates, if desertion cannot be stopped,
“ there is but little hope left.”;
“ It is no time," continues the Whig, “ to trifle
, with the people. They are not arrant fools. — j
Meade and Rosecranu are being hugely rein
forced. Lee is thus endangered on both flanks.
East Tennessee is to be invaded by forty thous
and men, and Mobile to be invested by way of
Pascagoula The citizens South of the James
| River are doing nothing, and absolutely courting
I Federal raids,” and, it might have added, Charles
i ton is about to full, and suffer a Just retribution.
I And now, let us administer a woid of comfort to
the Whig ;—Worthy amfrtr* of the steel pen,
<ou, for once, are right; we agree with yc«.—'
Your case is hopeless, and if, in addition to this
consonance of opinion, yon will bear a word of ad
vice, we say, emulate the Raleigh Standard; leave
ship, not because it is sinking, bat be
cause it is a pirate craft, in which it is no honor
to founder. Go a step further. Having declared
your cause hopeless, show the people the good old
paths, the way of pleasantness and, the paths of
peace, in which we walked together in the bright
days of the past, when treason rented itself ip un
meaning oaths only, from maudlin lips,.and when
to be an American citizen was to hie the freest,
happiest, roost prosperous man on the face of
God's beautiful earth. That is your only hope?
All else is “ hopeless."
The Poor Man’s War.—Mayor Opdyke, of
New York, says, in his message vetoing the city
ordinance extended to prevent the reinforcement
of the army; "This war, above all other wars of
which hisiory makes mention, is a war waged on
our part in the interests Of poor men. The rebel
lion was plotted, begun and prosecuted in the in
terest of the owners of slaves. Whether the man
who labors with his bands should be a freeman or
a slave, should own himself or be owned by anoth
er, is the ultimate question which this nation is
now deciding, in the'assemblies of the people, in
legislative halls, in executive cabinets, and on ma
ny fields of liattle. The rebels maintain that that
is the best condition of society where the land is
divided into great plantations, and their owners
own the slaves who till them, and the artizans
who make their implements; and this condition
of society the rebels are striving to fortify and ex
tend. The free and loyal people of the land
maintained that the laborers and artisans should
l>e as free ns the owners of the soil. Thus, of ail
the people in the country, the laborers and the
artisans aie the most interested in this question.
We are inking their side, seeking 10 bring univer
sal opinion to their favor, writing and speaking for
ibcir cause, and fighting for it byisea and land.
VVuitid it not seem incredible blindness and fatuity,
if they whose interests are thus involved, and
whose cause is stirring the blood of all true men
the world over, should themselves hold back and
leave others to defend their rights?”
What Nkxt? —A new fashion has been miro
duced in Paris, by the- Einpresa Eugenio, and we
may expect to witness its introduction into this
region by the fashionable ladies. A late Paris
letter announces this “new mole” as follows ;
The Emptess has again appeared with a long
walking stick, and now the fashion is fixed.
Every lady at a watering place must “ wear a
cane;” and the shop windows of Paris are begin
ing to display them, with “prices to suit custo
mers." Some are very cheap and homelv; others
elegant and costly. The length of the stick de
pends on the height of the lady, as thevarc recom
mended to come up about to the lady's shoulder.
They ere carried fo- support, for protection, and
tor distinction ; that; is, the ladies like to have
“something in > heir hands to play with,” and
especially at the sea side, where they are alwavs
breaking parasols, by poking at the pebbles and
things. And then, why should not a woman
carry a cane as well as a man ? Is she not the
weaker vessel?
Dkatb prom E axis a Toadstools.—The
C larion Democrat says a lady named Wallace and
her son, a lad ten years of age, died in Elk town
ship, that- county, from the effect of eating toad
stools m mistake for, mushrooms, which are poiso
nous. M-s. W. took sick soon after eating and
commencing to vomit, sent her son for a relative.
On the way the lad commenced vomiting and
died in a tew hours. Mrs. Wallace survived her
