iriknc. AkTOON.4, PA. 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." Godet’s Lady's.Rook.— We neglected last week to mention the arrival of this most welcome monthly visitor. As u,ual it is filled with fine engravings and cnoice reading matter. We couldn't do without it. Terms $3.00 per annum. Address L. A.- Godey, Philadelphia. PEN ANN SCrSSOEfi! Two of Gen.

But the mining stock of GolcOnda. and “ the gor geous wealth of Ot-mos and of Ind, ” are about “played out” and eclipsed by the oil mines at Ve nango. Only a shoddy contractor has any busi ness at competing with such “ rivers of oil.” r An Important Opinion. —The Rochester (X. Y ) Express claims to have private information 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 Bureau of Deserters, was a man in Boston,' who had enlisted in a Massachusetts regiment, and afer having served some time deserted and re 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 wonld dress in coarse, rough clothes, and disguise himself in such a way that it was- impossible to recognize him as the gay and fashionable •‘swell" of the first-class hot;! only a fjw days before.— He would probably have continued this game while the war lasts.!. hut lie iucautinuslv wrote a I letter to a fellow-soldier in his regiment, telling ilim what glorious times he was having in Boston, i , representing in glowing language his new bnsi- I , ness of going asa substitute, told him how many times he had "fooled them,” and wound up bj- ; How xs, Keep Water CooL.-Thc Scientific it*niTthe'^ovosr^MarshH,General, I hut Xn k cmlw j llt , t ; W * MC * l l ' ie T ohuiin cooling draughts.

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 son a day or so, when death ended her ex treme suffering. She delayed' too long sending tor a physician. It is difficult to distinguish be tween! he edible and the poisonous plant, there fore the only safe way is to avoid oil of them. t Mosebt Reposted Dead. The Heralds special from Warrentpo Junction of the p /*’ says:—l have just received a dispatch from *atrfnx Stu’ion saying that five more of White’s guernUas, captured near that place this morning, state that Moseby wv shot twice in the bowels and breast, and that he had been taken to Richmond.
