Our Flag Forever.
' "I know of no mode in which a Jaya/ citi
zen may so well demonstrate his devotion to
his country as by sustaining the Flag, the
ConStilutian and the Union, under all circum

DEMOCRACY.
The men who are now attempting
to lead the Democracy of Huntingdon
county, must not deCeive themselves
into the belief that the honest masses
of the party will follow them, step by
stop, into the rebel ranks. Preach as
they may, their actions are applauded
by every enemy of our once happy
country. Their outward professions
of loyalty are but to deceive, and he
he who cannot read the true character
of the man who is eternally contend
ing for party organization on a secesh
platform, such as that made at Harris
burg by the traitors of '6O, must be
blind indeed. We are aware that ma
ny Democrats are honest in the sup
port they give men who denounce ev
ery man as an abolitionist who cannot
support what he believes to bo direct
sympathy for the rebel cause. Such
Democrats are to be pitied. They wor
ship the name—a party, once an honor
to the country, but now, shame upon
the traitors who have sunk it so low.
We deny that the State organization
with the rebels Hughes,Tlnmer & Co.
at its head, speaks for - Democracy.—
They are the leaders now as they were
in '6O, of the faction that sold the dem
ocracy to the Southern conspirators.—
They in no manner represent the, sen
timents of the true Democracy, and
we pity the young man who can be
led into eternal disgrace by their hy
pocritical profesSions of loyalty to the
Government.
The New Party.
The Knights of the - Golden Circle
?held a secret session in this place on
.Friday afternoon last, for the purpose
'of devising ways and means for resus•
fcitating the old Breckinridge organ,
'the Huntingdon Union. There might
%aye been thirty of the faithful on
thand. We saw 'but few, but enough
'to give us.a kvery.clless idea of the po
litical character of the gathering. We
:make a few honoril3le exceptions of
linen who will soon get their eyes open
to the company they thoughtlessly got
into, if they have not already done so.
Everything has been so secretly man
aged that we have not learned what
was done, further than that each mem
ber was required to pay $5 and up
wards toward buying Colon's old type
a,nd press. This was a good trick
played off on the Circle by Mr. Colon,
as the fixtures were worn out twenty
years ago; and are not worth their
weight in old rags. Colon is sharp. 6i
It must have went hard with some of
the Circle to face the music with the I
dollars, for a number of them are back
on our books to amounts from $6 to
$26. And those heariestin arrears to
the Globe were the loudest 'in their de
clarations of what sacrifices they had
made to support our paper. Some few
of the Circle played the gentlemen by
squaring up with us.
The password on -this occasion, to
secure admission to the Circle, was
"Horse." "Day-Book" was the an
swer.
Ir requested to do so, we publish
calls for, and proceedings of all politi
cal meetings and conventions. We
Lave not yet been requested to publish
call for the election of delegates to a
Democratic County Convention. We
are not in favor of holding political
party conventions, and wo hope all
men who are opposed to being dicta
ted to by the office-hunters, will refuse
to take part in the election of delegates
.to such conventions.
We. have taken the liberty of stri
king from our list the names of some
of our subscribers (not patrons,) who
were delegates to the late secesh circle
in this place, and who failed to request
us to stop their paper. No don't feel
iiike loaning them any .more of our
money to be used for the purpose of
crushing us out.
THE secret of the hatred and opposi
tion of the secessionists to the Globe
.has leaked out. It is too strong for
the war—too earnest for 'the preserva
tion of the Union—demands too severe
a punishment for treason—and refuses
to endorse secession sympathizers as
simon-pure Democrats, and as leaders
of the Democratic party.
it Dogs delight to bark, and bite"
when they have teeth. Jones of the
Patriot & Union, .and two other filthy
curs connected with the Bellefonte
IVatchmaii can hark- until they get
tired of the amusement. They will
not disturb us in the least. Their
masters may receive our attention.
THE Southdowns in this county aro
jubilant over the prospects of soon
having a new edition of the Day Rook
published in this place. The old pa
trons of that rebel sheet were in town
in force on Friday last. They claim
to be the pure Democracy of the coun
ty. What would the honest lovers of
our Government think of a Northern
man who would boldly declare that he
was in favor of the Southern.-Confed
eracy ! That it was his hearts desire
to be in the Rebel army That he
wanted to see Pennsylvania overrun by
tho Jeff Davis' army and the State
made a slave State And what would
they think of a man who would boldly
declare that ho would sooner vote now
for Jeff Davis for President of the
' United States than for Abram Lincoln.
Men making use of such language
were prominent delegates in the meet
ing held in this place last weetc. And
such are the mon attempting to lead
the Democracy of the county. Such
vile secessionists are denouncing us as
an Abolitionist for the purpose of de
ceiving the true loyal Democrats of
the county. Will the Democracy be
deceived by them—the mere tools of
Jeff. Davis and his partners in crime at
the head of the so-called Democratic
organization of the State. We have
sworn to give our best energies to the
support of our Government, and he
who loves his party better than his
Country, need not expect us to deal
lightly with him. An endorsement of
the so-called Democratic State organi
zation, and an endorsement of the con
duct of the men who met in secret in
this place last week, will be considered
by Jeff Davis an endorsement of the
efforts making to destroy this Union.
lIE NEW PAPER AND THE EFFORTS
MAKING TO CRUSH OUT TIIE " GLOBE."
—We are amused at the efforts making
by the secesh sympathisers to crush
out the Globe. The most desperate
means are being resorted to. Men of
loose political character are employed
to misrepresent our course—to lie—
that their employers may be the bet
ter able to deceive, to cheat the un
suspecting people. We have thus far
handled such vile creatures with gloves.
Hereafter they will be dealt with as
their actions will justify. Their pro
fessions will deceive us no longer. They
aro at heart with the Southern Con
federacy and must be watched as close
ly as we would spies direct from the
Rebel camp. The people, the honest
Union loving people of this county,
must not be longer deceived by the
professions of' men who call themselves
Democrats. We shall take good care
that the truly loyal Democracy of this
county shall not bo disgraced by being
ignorantly lid into the secession trap
set for "them by the office-seekers in
this place, who are at the bend of the
movement to establish a new paper.
To the loyal straight out Union people
of the county we must look to for
strength to encourage us in our oppo
sition to ovary species of secessionism,
and we fool that we will not he disap
pointed. Already wo aro receiving
strong evidences that our position is
well taken, and that the people will
not permit our paper to be crushed out
to gratify Jeff Davis' Southdowns 'in
the North who claim to be the pure
Democracy.
The following letters show which
way the wind is already beginning to
blow. Let the storm rage! Our faith
is in our God, our government and our
loyal people. •
Wtt,talm LEWIS, ESQ :—Though per
sonally strangers to each other, I have
been more or less acquainted with your
paper for the last eleven years. And
although differing in some things po
litically, I have ever admired your firm
ness to what you have thought right,
and more especially the course you
have taken since this rebellion has ta
ken place. And believing that there
is an effort at this present time set
forth to break down your valuable pa
per,
by a certain class of people, and
for no other reason than your devotion
to your love of country. As one, so
long as you pursue the same straight
forward course you have, I will give
all my influence to keeping up the pa
per. I am informed that there are
persons using their influence in this
neighborhood to assist in getting sub
scribers for a new paper about to be
started in your place, and not only so,
but they aro trying to get those that
are taking the Globe to discontinue it.
But if any do drop off, there aro those
of us that will secure as many for it, if
not more. You will please send me the
GLOBS.
Ma. LEWIS: Sir :—Having seen and
known the efforts of the Secesh sym
pathizers in this township for some
time, fox the purpose of breaking down
and proscribing the "Globe," I feel it
my duty as a lover of the cause you
so fearlessly advocate, to give you the
assurance that for every subscriber
you lose out of their ranks you shall
have one out of ours. There has been
one of our neighbors making it his
special business for a week past to go
about the township to get the subscri
bers to the Globe to desist from taking
it, and is getting names for the Union
saving sheet that is 'being started.—
Pursue your course and you shall not
suffer financially. As soon as we can
ascertain how many drop you here,
you shall have an equal number out of
the ranks that never have been your
subscribers heretofore; and better
than all, the dust shall accompany the
list.
WILLIAM LEWIS, ESQ :—On coming
to this village this morning, I learned
that an effort was making to supersede
your valuable paper, by something
called a democratic paper, (doubtless
its principles are to be Slaveocratie
Locofocoism). Now dear sir, we can
not allow such material as have con
spired to put you down to succeed, sim
ply because of your love of country
and your patriotism. At present I can
only say, please send me the Globe.
-----
Nine and Twelve Months Men.
It has been officially published that
the call by Gov. Curtin for nine and
twelve months men was made without
previous consultation or direction of
the President or War Department and
having been made it was deemed by
the President and by the Department
better to accept such troops as were
offered under that call. But it isprop
ex to be noticed that the law does not
allow any bounty to the nine mouths
men except the $25 paid at the time
of being mustered into service. The
remaining $75 is only payable to those
who enlist for three years or during
the war.
Is THE Harrisburg Patriot & Union
a secession sheet? No candid man can
' read it and deny its true character.—
We have read it carefully since the
war broke out, and we have seen in
l i every issue the damnable secession
poison that has diseased the whole
Democratic party. Not content with
preaching secession through its col
umns, it has agents travelling the coun
try who are bold in their rejoicings
over a defeat of our army. But a week
ago a fellow who claimed to be connec
ted with that office, stopped at the
Jackson House in this place, and when
he was told of the loss of our gunboats
at Vicksburg, he replied, " that's good
news." We heard him make the reply,
when we immediately examined the
register to ascertain his name. Ile
bad registered his name Frank S.
eailer.
BOUNTIES.—Tho Commissioners of
Lancaster county have voted to pay a
bounty of $5O to each volunteer to the
new regiment to be raised in that
county.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Compa
ny has, by a vote of the Board of Di
rectors, contributed the sum 0f5.50,000,
to be applied to the payment of boun
ties to soldiers enlisting in the service
of the Government.
The citizens of Harrisburg, in town
meeting on the evening of the 21st,
raised by subscription tho sum of $lO,-
000, to bo applied to the payment of
bounties. The amount has since been
doubled.
The town of York has raised over
$3,000 for the same purpose.
And almost every other city and
town in the State has moved with the
same spirit in the same direction.
The citizens of this place have sub
kribed a handsome sum for the "boys"
who may volunteer.
Large war meetings have been held
in rhiladelybia and Pittsburg, and
heavy sums have been subnriiml for
bounties.
A largo war meeting was held at
Altoona on Saturday night last.
The whole country is alive to the
importance of furnishing men and
means immediately to crush out the re
bellion.
FROM SCHUYLKILL COUNTY,
The Hughes Family—Their political
truckling, known honer, and possible
ambition for Senatorial honor.
[Correspondence of the Telegraph.)
POTTSVILLE, July 19, 1802,—1f the
members of the late so-called Demo
cratic convention desired to be regard
ed as loyal patriotic citizens of our
good old Commonwealth, they were
certainly peculiarly unfortunate in the
selection of a chairman of their State
Central Committee.
F. W. Hughes, of Schuylkill county,
the person selected, is ono of the most
unscrupulous of the old Breckinridge
politicians. His loyalty is seriously
questioned by the patriotic, Union-lov
ing citizens of the county, which sent
some 4,000 of its suns to battle for the
very existence of our institutions.
Hughes is a shrewd man, and one of
that class of politicians who believe
that the and justifies the means; hence
he deems it perfectly justifiable and
good policy to assume loyalty, if by
that cloak he can subserve the inter
ests of his Southern allies, among
whom are found those allied to him by
the tics of kindred. His brother, Dr.
Hughes, of Newborn, North Carolina,
is one of the leading rebels in that
part of the country, ono of the forts
having been named after him.
John Hughes, son of the doctor, and
late law partner of the " Chairman,"
is also now a citizen of Newborn, and
in the service of the rebel government.
This young sprig of the Southern chiv
alry is the individual whom his uncle
Frank made almost superhuman exer
tions to elect to Congress two years
ago; but, to the credit of the loyal cit
izens of Schuylkill and Northumber
land counties, the efforts of the dema
gogue were frustrated, and the Hon.
James 11. Campbell, the eloquent cham
pion of - the Union and the Constitu
tion, was returned to that body.—
Shortly after the attack on Fort Sump
tor, the nephew of the " Chairman, '
fearing the threatened indignation of
the sturdy masses, found it good poli
cy to flee from the " wrath to come"
into the Kingdom of Jeff. Davis, fol
lowed by the good wishes of his dear
uncle, and the loud curses of his late
fellow citizens.
It was generally suspected that the
uncle contemplated following in the
footsteps of his nephew, but General
Burnside made Nowbern- rather a
more dangerous refuge for rebels than
Pottsville, and so the project was aban
doned, at least for the present. The
body and intellect of the chairman re
main with us in the North, but that
his heart is in the South admits of no
more doubt than that John C. Brock.
inridgo is a traitor.
The lion. F. W. Hughes is a candi
date for the United States Senate.—
Shall ho go there, loyal citizens of

THE LATEST NEWS
Important from Ohio.
NEW Yonit, July 28.—The Tribune
has received a special despatch from
Columbus, Ohio, which states that, the
Rev. Dr. Brooks of St. Louis, and Rev.
D. Hoyt of Louisville wore arrested
on Friday night at the house of the
notorious rebel Judge Clark, of Ohio.
it is reported that important papers
were found on them, implicating Val
landigham, who will be taken to Cin
cinnati.
The Governor has issued orders to
the Assessors to have an enrollment
made of all the able-bodied men in the
State to be ready by thelBth of August.
If there aro not enough volunteers by
that time, drafting will be commenced.
Interesting from Fortress Monroe and
James River.
FORTRESS MONROE, July 20.—1 am
credibly informed that large rebel for
ces are now being concentrated on the
lino of the James river, above the
junction of the Appomattox and James
rivers—they came down from Rich
mond by the Richmond and Petersburg
railroad. It is believed that they al
ready number from fifty to seventy
thousand, and that Gen. Jackson is in
command, notwithstanding the rumor
that he is in pursuit of Gen. Pope.
My informant is very confident that
the rebels are now making a bold stand
at the above named place, and are
bringing all their forces they can spare
from Richmond, and does not believe
that Suffolk is long safe from an at
tack, as the rebels are said to be with
in twenty miles, with considerable
force.
Night before last a company of rebel
cavalry came down on Gloucester
Point opposite Yorktown, and seized
and carried off a lot of contrabands
that had accumulated at that place,
and also forced into the rebel army all
the male inhabitants that could be
found there capable of bearing arms.
They then set fire to a lot of ship tim
ber, and, taking with them their tro
phies, took their departure.
The rebel cavalry are almost daily
prowling about that region, seeking
plunder of any kind and compelling
into the rebel service all the men they
can find, who can be of any use to
them. Similar depredations are being
committed in - the immediate vicinity
of Williamsburg. Whether guerillas
or the regular Confederates is hard to
determine, for the guerillas often go
clothed like the regular Confederate
cavalry, as by this disguise they as
sume authority which they otherwise
could not, and commit many depreda
tions in their masked characters upon
the civilians, telling them they have
authority, being commissioned, and a
detachment of the regular Confederate
cavalry.
II quiet on the James river. No
news from the army.
Yesterday a man obtained a pass in
Norfolk for the pretended purpose of
going to North Carolina. lie was
watched by an officer, and followed
several miles out from Norfolk, when
he took a wrong road and was steering
his course toward Richmond. The of
ficer rode up and arrested him, and
found upon him about two thousand
letters which ho was about to convey
to Richmond. lie was taken back to
Norfolk and lodged in jail to await his
Proclamation of the President.

General HaHeel Appointed to the
Chief Command of the Army.
WASHINGTON, July 23.—The follow
ing order appointing General HaHeck
Commander-in-Chief, is made public
to-day :
" EXECUTIVE MANSION,
July 11, 1862.
"Ordered, That Major General Hen
ry W. llaleek be assigned to com
mand the whole land forces of the
United States, as General-in-Chief, and
that he proceed to this Capital as soon
as lie can, with safety to the positions
and operations within the Department
now under his special charge.
[Signed] ARRAIIAM LINCOLN."
President Lincoln left Washington
to visit the Army of the Potomac on
the 7th of July and arrived back on
the 10th. The above order was issued
the next day, as will be seen by the
date, and it was doubtless . made with
the concurrence of General McClellan.
General Ila Heck is about forty-two
years of age, and was born in Weston,
Oneida county, N. Y., where his grand
flatter—one hundred years old, ar.d
hale and hearty—lately resided. Gen.
Haßeek's father was the Hon. Joseph
Haßeck, who died about three years
since. General Hank entered the
Military Academy as a West Point
cadet in 1835, stood third in the class,
and was brevetted second lieutenant
of engineers July 1, 1839: He was
acting assistant professor of engineer
ing at the Military Academy from Ju
ly, 1839, to June; 1840. In 1841 he
was the author of a military work on
" Bitumen and its Uses," &e. In Jan
uary, 1845; he was appointed first lieu
tenant, and during the year ho was Se
lected by the committee of the Lowell
Institute, at Boston, to deliver one of
the regular course of lectures, the sub
ject being " Military Science and Art."
These lectures he compiled in a neat
volume during the following year, add
ing thereto a lengthy introduction on
the "Justifiableness of War." The
work contains much valuable elemen
tary instruction, as well as abundance
of historical illustration, and is written
with ability. In 1847 he was brevet
ted captain for gallant conduct in af-
Stirs with the enemy on the nineteenth
and twentieth days of November, 1847,
and for meritorious service in Califor
nia. He was Secretary of State of the
Territory of California under the mili
tary governments of Generals Kear
ney, Mason, and Riley, from 1847 to
the end of 1349. He was chief of the
staff of Commodore Shnbrick in the
naval and military operations on the
Pacific coast in 1847 and 1848, and was
a member of the Convention, in 1849,
to form, and of the committee to draft,
the Constitution of the State of Cali
fornia. In July, 1853, he was appoin
ted captain of engineers, and resigned
August 1, 1854.
Southern Union Regiments.
A regiment of Union men of North
Alabama is organizing in Gen. Buell's
army, and will soon be full and equip
ped for service under the Stars and
Stripes. A regiment composed of Ar
kansas men is already organized and
attached to the army of Gen. Curtis.
Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri and Ten
nessee each have large forces in the
Union service. A good many men
have been recruited in North Carolina
and some in Florida and Louisiana.—
Every State of the Union now has
troops in the Federal service except
South Carolina, Georgia Mississippi
and Texas. The latter State would
furnish many regiments, if the Govern
ment would once make a strong dem
onstration in its borders and secure
them protection. This, we trust, will
be done before a great while.
THE CURRENCY QUESTION.—BeIow
we present a correct copy of the bill
passed during the last day of Congress,
from which it will be observed that
our business community may expect
relief in a short period and that an
abundance of small change will be
forthcoming. Here is the bill:

notes of less denomination than one
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United ,States of

FROM MISSOURI
All the Active Militia to be Called
into Service.
S•r. Lours, July 22.—Gen. Schofield
has issued a general order for the im
mediate oruanization of all the militia
of Missouri for the purpose of exter
minating the gnerillas that infest that
State. Every able bodied man capa
ble of' bearing arms and subject to mil
itary duty, is ordered to repair with
out delay to the nearest military post
and report for duty to the command
ing officer, every man to bring what
ever arms he can procure. Those who
have no arms will be supplied by the
Ordnance Department as quickly as
possible. All arms and ammunitions
of whatsoever kinds not in the hands
of the loyal militia, will be taken pos
session of and used for the public de
fence. Six days after the date of the
order are allowed for every man fit
for duty to report to the commanding
officer of the nearest military post and
to be enrolled. All persons so enrolled
will be regarded as belonging to the
active militia of the State. Till fur
ther orders, the commanding officer of
the post is authorized to give furloughs
to such men of this militia force as
cannot be absent from their ordinary
business without serious detriment, or
such as are needed for present service.
Such leaves of absence will in no case
be for a longer time than ten days, and
may be revoked at any time at the
discretion of the officer granting them.
The militia thus organized will be gov
erned by the articles of war and the
army regulations, and will be subject
to the orders of officers of the United
States troops or Missouri militia regu
larly mustered into the service as may
be designed to their command.
Gen. Gamble has issued the follow
ing special order:
HEADQUARTERS, STATE OF MISSOURI,
ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE,
St. Louis, July 22, 1862.
The existence of numerous bands of
guerillas in different parts of the State,
who are engaged in robbing and mur
dering peaceable citizens for no other
cause than that such citizens arc loyal
to the government under which they
have always lived, renders it necessary
that the most stringest means be adop
ted to punish all such crimes and de
stroy such bands.
Brig. Gen. Schofield, in command of
the Missouri State Militia, is hereby
authorized to organize the entire mi
litia of the Stale into companies, Reg
iments and Brigades, and to order into
active service such portions of the
force thus organized, as he may judge
necessary, for the purpose of putting
down all marauders, and defending the
peaceable citizens of the State.
ADMISSION OF PATIENTS TO TILE IN
SANE HOSPITAL—To avoid trouble and
difficulty which may arise from igno
rance or misapprehension relative to
the admission of patients into the
Pennsylvania State Lunatic Hospital
at Harrisburg, it has been deemed ad
visable to give the following extracts
from the by-laws of the hospital:
These provisions will be strictly en

" Preparatory to the admission of a
patient, (unless when committed by or
der of a court.) the Superintendent

of a physician that he has seen anti
examined the individual and believes
him or her to be insane, with a request
from a near relative or friend that the
patient may be received into the hos
pital, and a bond, with satisfactory se
curity for the payment of board and
other expenses while in the institution.
All private patients thus received shall
make a payment of thirteen weeks
board in advance when brought to the
hospital, and if taken away uncured
and against the advice and consent of
the Superintendent within that period,
no part of said payment shall be re
funded.
" Whenever a patient is sent to the
hospital by the order of any court, jus
tice, judge, Directors of the Poor of a
county, or the overseers of the poor
of a township or poor district, the or
der or warrant, or a copy thereof, by
which such person is sent shall be
lodged with the Superintendent.
" 'Those who may bring a patient
with any such order or warrant will be
required to pay at the time of the ad
mission of the patient, sixty-five dol
lars.
"A written history of the case
should be sent with the patient, aftd,
if possible, some ono acquainted with
the individual should accompany him
to the hospital, from whom minute,
but often essential particulars may be
learned."
Cases of recent occurrence will be
received at any time on compliance
with the regulations.

Hereafter no guards will he placed

articles of war and regulations of the

from discipline and efficiency.
The soldiers were called into the
field to do battle against the enemy,
