NOTICE.
We have not the time nor the incli
mtion, to dun personally, a large num
ber of persons who have unsettled ac
counts upon our books of several years
standing. We shall, therefore, from
day to day, without respect to persons,
place into the hands of a Justice for
collection, all accounts of over two
years standing. All those who wish
to save expense, will do well to give
us a call.
§ §
The Future Historic Position of the
Soldiers of 1862.
high historic ground will be assign
ed to the American soldiers of 1562.
Future historians will write this war
as the greatest since the beginning of
time; the greatest in its issues, the
.greatest in its achievements. The
•
fate of a nation, the greatest in prom
ise and prospect of all upon earth,
hangs upon this war. The continued
and confirmed existence of an asylum
of freedom and plenty for the oppress
ed of all nations rests upon the re
,sult of this war.
'The question of democratic republi
,can freedom for the world turns upon
the will and the power of the people to
crush out this rebellion and establish
forever our free form of government as
au example and a power in the earth,
to demonstrate self-government and
encourage it in all the world. There
fore it is that the advocates of royalty
and aristocracy look upon us in our
great national struggle with an evil
'eye, and would rejoice in our downfidl
as a nation and a government. Free

-conflict on the battle-field of this war.
Slavery is doomed. The rebels have,
An their blind and infuriate determina
.tion to perpetuate and extend slavery
.and maintain the rule of slaveocracy in
America, themselves given slavery its
.death-blow, by arousing Freedom to
the struggle for its own life, and forc
ing upon it the necessity to strike sla
very down for self-preservation. And
now, already, it is apparent that even
though the rebellion should be success
fill, slavery would die. Nevertheless,
it is the slaveocracy, in the leadership
of the blinded masses, that is doing
battle fur the overthrow of our nation
ality and the downfall of freedom in
our country and the world.
American civilization—the freest,
most energetic and progressive on
earth, as that depends upon the unity
and progress of our nation—is at stake
on this war. Christianity for the
world, as embodied in America, and
flowing forth through all nations, de
pends upon the issues of this war.—
Commerce amongst all nations, as
stimulated and swelled by American
rivalry with England and France,
must be affected on a grand scale by
the decision of this war.
In short, the issues of this lvar are
to be world-wide and universal in their
iminence for good or for evil : Anier
ican nationality, American republican-
Ism, American freedom, American eh--
illzation, American christianity, Amer
ican commerce—everything American
for the world, is to be struck down by
this rebellion, or confirmed, established
; forever and extended by its defeat.—
'Therefore the historian, as he gives
:pre-eminent place to the grandeur of
;the issues of this war, must give place
;of pre-eminence also to the American
iberPeS Who by their genius and daring
success to our national arms.
Another grand feature of surpassing
gloiy cannot be overlooked by the
ihistorian of this war—its enterprise.—
When since time began have there
ever been armies approaching two mil
lions strong, called into the field, arm
yd and equipped, and brought into all
the stern and bloody activities of war
in any infant nation, in any single
,year of the world before? When has
'ithere been such progress made in na.-
val armament in any ono year of all
.time? When such a navy improvised
;and :created by any nation, old or
.young, as that of our iron walls and
batteries afloat on the rivers,
bays, inlets and sounds of our almost
limitless coasts and country ?
When did any nation on earth ever
undertake so many entprprises and ex
peditions, and such grand ones at any
one time, as those embraced in Ole
comprehensive operations of our army

tucky, Tennessee and Virginia ; and
against the grand armies of the rebel
lion threatening the invasion of Illi
nois, Indiana and Ohio, in the west,
and menacing the Capital and Mary
land, in the east. This vast, compre
hensive enterprise of our unprepared
American Republic, to put down an
unexpected and gigantic rebellion, can
not escape the eye of the historian, and
the American soldier's historic position
will he in full and high accordance
with the grandeur and glory of this
unparalleled enterprise of our infant
nation in the great hour-of its peril.
Neither can it be possible that the fu
ture historian will fail of marking in
fitting colors the achievements of 1802
in America. To have aroused herself,
as she did, and risen up in the strength
of her love of liberty and nationality,
and created such armies and navies,
and set on foot such enterprises and
expeditions, and brought into applica
tion such improvements in arms, mu
nitions and armaments, in a single
year, had been glory- enough to em
blazon any one year's historical pages.
But to this must also be added the
deadly and terrible conflicts of Wil
son's Creek, Pea Ridge and others, in
Missouri and Arkansas; Fort Henry,
Fort Donelson and Pittsburg Land
ing, in Tennessee; Manassas, Ball's
Bluff, Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, and
the eight days before Richmond, not
to speak of others on land, besides
Port Royal, Pulaski, the Monitor and
- Merrimac, New Orleans, Island No.
10, Memphis and Vicksburg, and oth
ers, upon our rivers and inlets, and isl
ands; the pressure of the grand West
ern army of rebellion into the disgrace
ful and disastrous evacuation of Bowl
ing Green and Corinth, and forcing the
grand Eastern army of the rebellion
to abandon their stronghold at York
town, for fear of falling before the Na
tional arms, as Lord Cornwallis had
done of old in the same place, driving
them in upon their Confederate Capi
tal, and forcing them into indiscrimi
nate conscription to swell their armies,
and prevent their instant conquest and
destruction. These achievements, to
gether with the overthrow of incipient
rebellion in Maryland, Kentucky and
Missouri, and the conquest of Tennes
see, New Orleans, Florida, the Missis
sippi, and all the forts and positions
taken along the coast from Norfolk to
New Orleans—these achievements, all
the greater too for every reverse and
every discouragement, will be forever
memorable. Then, our progress in
the principles of liberty, in the eman
cipation of the District of Columbia,
and the proposition in aid of emancipa
tion in the Border States; and oar pro
gross in the principles of conducting
the war for the actual raid effectual
suppression of the rebellion—these
things all must mark the American
history of the year 1862 as a year of
wondrous achievement and progress.
And it must also place the American
soldiers of 1862 upon an historical em
inence, never to be overlooked or for
gotten in the world. Who, that has
served his country in this year of great
things, will not be proud of having
been a soldier? Who, in all aftorgen
orations, will not fool the generous
swelling of patriotic delight, when
pointing back to his noble ancestry,
distinguished by having aided in the
rescue during the national peril of this
rebellion ?---Evening
TILE FAREWELL WORDS or DOUGLAS.
—ln the last address of this distin
guished statesman, and popular leader
of the Democracy, the following em
phatic testimony is borne against the
leaders of this rebellion :
" The election of Air. Lincoln Is a
mere pretext. The present secession
movement is the result of an enormous
conspiracy formed' more then n year
since—formed by leaders in the South
ern Confederacy more than twelve
months ago. They use the slavery
question as a means to aid the 4ocom
plishment of their ends. They desired
the election of a Northern candidate,
by a sectional vote, in order to show
that the two sections cannot live to
gether. When the history of the two
years front the lecompton question
down to the Presidential election,
shall be written, it will be shown that
the scheme was deliberately made to
break up this Union.
They desired a Northern llcpubli-
can to be elected by a purely Northern
vote, and then assign this fact as a
reason why the sections cannot live to
gether. If the Disunion candidate in
the late Presidential contest had car
ried the united South, the scheme was,
the Northern candidate successful, to
seize the Capitol last spring, and, by a
united South and divided North, hold
it. Their scheme was defeated, in the
defeat of the Disunion candidate in
several of the Southern States.
"But this is no time for a detail of
causes. The conspiracy is now known;
armies have been raised, war is levied
to accomplish it. There are only two
sides to the question. Every man
must be for the United States, or
against it. There can be no neutrals
in this war; only patriots or traitors!"
[Cheer after cheer.]
Every loyal man will utter the con
cluding sentiment of the gallant Doug
las, that " THERE CAN BE NO NEUTRALS
IN THIS WAR; ONLY PATRIOTS OR TRAI
TORS!" And the man who hesitates
or equivocates in his support to the
government in putting down this re
bellion, must take one or the other po
sition—he must be a patriot or a traitor.
In all the ramifications of life, this
point will and must be reached.
How the Enrollment is conducted.—
IT'ho'are Erempt from Drafting.
The act of Congress under which the
President called for 300,00 militia,
was passed July 10, 186, and the pro
visions of the first section arc as fol
lows :
" That whenever the President of
the United States shall call forth the
militia ofthe States, to be employed in
the service of the United States, he
may specify in his call the period for
which such service will be required,
not exceeding nine months ; and the mili
tia so called shall be Mustered in and
continue to serve for and during the term
so specified, unless sooner discharged by
command of the President. If, by reas
on of defects in existing laws, or in the
execution of them in the several
States, or any of them, it shall be found
necessary to provide for enrolling
the militia, and otherwise putting this
act into execution, the President is au
thorized in such cases to make all ne
cessary rides end regulations ; and the
enrollment of the niilitht *hail in all
cases include all able-bodied male citi
zens between the ages of eighteen and
forty-fire, and shall be apportioned
among the States according to repre
sentative population."
Each State has its own laws in re
gard to the enrollment of the militia
force, and these laws generally embody
the manner in which drafting shall be
carried out, when called for by the 'Na
tional Government.
According to the laws of Pennsylva
nia all able-bodied white male citizens,
between the ages of 21 and -t5 years,
residing in the State, and not exemp
ted by the laws of the United States,
shall be subject to military duty; ex

the United Stales in C011S0(111011Ce of
the performance, of military duty, in
pursuance of any law of this State.
IV. Commissioned officers who shall
have served as such in the militia of
this State, or any one of the United
States, for the space of five consecutive
years; but no officer shall be so ex

such term of service duly accepted, or
in such other lawful manner, he shall
have been honorably discharged.
V. Every non-eommissioued officer,
musician, and private of every unifor

hereafter uniform Idinself according to
the provisions of any law of this State,
and who shall have performed service
in such company or troop for the space
of seven consecutive years from the
time of his enrollment therein, shall be

case of war, insurrection, or invasion.
VI. If any member of such compa
ny or troop, who shall have been regu
larly uniformed and equipped, shall,
upon his removal out of the beat of
such company or troop, or upon the
disbandment thereof, enlist in any oth
er uniformed company or troop, and
uniforni and equip himself therefor,
and serve in the same, whenever the
whole time of his service in such com

shall amount to seven years, he shall
be exempt from military duty in like
manner as if he had served for the
whole period in the company or troop
in which he was first enrolled; the cer
tificate from the commanding officers
of such companies shall be the proof of
such service.

infamous crimes, arc also exempt.
The enrollment of persons subject to
military duty is conducted as follows :

presence of prescribed officers. The
persons drawn are notified and given
time to prove themselves exempt, or
provide suitable substitutes; failing in
which they are compelled to serve or
submit to heavy penalties, generally
imprisonment.
_RELIEF OF ALABAMA UNIONI6TS—A
Uniml heroine.—Some days ago Colo
nel Straight, of an Indiana regiment,
stationed at Huntsville, received infbr
illation that thirty or forty miles south
of Decatur there were in the moun
tains quite a number ofloyal Alabam
ians, anxious to enlist under the old
flag, in the army of the Union. An
expedition \vas fitted out, with a
view of giving protection and safe con
duct to our lines to any disposed to
join the Federal forces. Jt seems that
seine two hundred loyal, able bodied
Alabamians were, found and conduct
ed to Huntsville. where they have join
ed Colonel Strait's command. These
men had been compelled, on account
of their Union sentiments, to conceal
themselves in the woods or in the hi
ding places of the mountains, on ac
count of the hostility and threats of
their secession neighbors. When the
expedition readied their section not a
man of them was to be found at home.
Their wives and daughters, how
ever, on being apprised of mission
of the Federal troops, put themselves
at once on the move to communicate
with the refugees. Colonel Strait, in
his report, mentions an old lady, Mrs.
Anna Campbell, who mounted a horse
and rode thirty-five miles and back,
making seventy miles, bringing with
her thirty recruits, and all inside of
thirty-six hours. Such devoted patri
otism as this act exhibits is worthy of
being recorded in the annals of' A mei ,
lean female heroism.
A Goon Hrr.—A late number of
Vanity Fair contains a good hit at the
policy which refuses the services of
black men in putting down the rebel
lion. In the foreground of the pic
ture, "dressed to death," resting lazily
over the back of a chair, with one foot
on the seat, one hand flourishing ry nat
ty call), and the other embracing a
tempting looking julep, stands a genu
nine specimen of a " first water dark
oy," over whose head a flourishing tree
throws a grateful shade. In the back
ground tramp a squad of recruits, evi
dently hot and weary with their march
in the sun, at whose appearance the
ebony gentleman in the foreground,
ceases his labors on the julep long
enough to observe: " Yah !yah ! Dark
cy lab de best oh it now ! Dnr's de
white man's draft, and here's de nig
gah's !" The hit is palpable. The
people whose sole aim for years has
boon to inculcate a feeling of hatred
and contempt for the colored race,
now fume most furiously over any
proposition to impose on the despised
muggers any shares and risks and la
bors of the war for the Union.
AIa'EKED BANK NOTE.—An altered
note of the F l aston Bank has made its
appearance. It is a $5. The work is
well done, and will easily deceive
those who are riot acquahAcd with
the hill of this balk.

FILL UP.
General Burnside .was compelled to
make a little Speech before an excited
and enthusiastic crowd in New York.
He said:
My friends: The enthusiastic wel
come you have extended to me has
quite taken me aback. I expected to
conic here quietly and go away with
out making any excitement; but the
kind interest that you take in me
proves that you will also take some in
terest in what I have to tell you. It
is this: That all is going well if you
will fill up the old regiments. (Voices—
'They shall he filled tip.') This is the
best advice I have to give you—fill up
the old regiments. So many men have
so many times predicted the time of
the end of the rebellion and been mis
taken, that I will not do so now ; but
I can say it will be very soon, it' the
old regiments are filled up. I thank
you fbr the kind reception you have
given me, and hope to meet you here
again when peace and quiet reign
among us."
Here we have the advice of ono of
our best and bravest generals, and it
should be beetled. Fill up the old reg
iments first, and then let new ones be
formed. The recruits fin• the old regi
ments will be entitled to all the bounty
money offered by the Federal,. State
and city authorities, and they will
have the advantage of going into ser
vice under experienced and skilful of
ficers. Burnside's advice corresponds
with what is given by all our other
generals, and it is quite certain that it
points out the surest and curliest mode
of' putting down the rebellion.

WAR DEP.MTMENT,
Washington, July Jl.
Absent officers and privates from
duty under various pretexts, while re
ceiving pay at great expense and bur
then to the Government, makes it ne
cessary that efficient measures be ta
ken to enforce their return to duty,
or that their places be supplied by
those who will not take pay while ren
dering no service. This evil, moreo
ver, tends greatly to discourage the
impulse of those who would contribute
to the support of the families of the
faithful soldiers. It is therefore order
ed by the President:
Pint, That on Monday the 11th day
of August, all leaves of absence and
furlough by whomsoever given, unless
by the War Department, are revoked
and absolutely annulled, and all pin
cers capable of service, are required
forthwith to join their regiments, un
der the penalty of dismissal from the
service, or such penalty as a court
martial may award, unless the absence
is occasioned by a lawful cause.
Second, The only excuses allowed for
absence officers or privates from duty
after the eleventh of Augustan, Rid,
The order or leave of the War Depart
ment. Second, Disability from wounds
received in service. Third, Disability
from disease that renders the party
unfit for duty; but any officer or pri
vate whose health permits him to vis
it watering places or places of amuse
ment, or matte social visits, or walk
about town, city or neighborhood, in
which case he will he considered fit for
military duty., and as evading duty
by absence from hit command or
.ranks.
Third, On Monday, the 18th day of
August, at ten o'clock, .1. 3f., each regi
ment acid corps shall be mustered.—
The absentees shall be marked in three
lists, and the same made and within
4S hours after muster one copy shall
be sent to the Adjutant General of
the army, one.to the commander of
the corps, the third to be retained;
and all officers and privates, fit for du
ty absent at that time, shall beregard
ed as absent without cause. Their
pay will be stopped, and they dismis
sed from the service, or treated as de
serters unless restored; and no officer
shall lie restored to his rank unless by
judgment ofa court of inquiry, to be
approved by the President. lie shall
establish that his absence was with
good cause.
Fourth, Commanders of corps, divi
sions, brigades, regiments, and detach
ed posts, arc strictly enjoined to en
force this muster and rate aforesaid.—
Any officers 'ldling in the duties here
in imposed, will be deemed guilty of a
gross neglect of duty, and be dismissed
from service.
Fifth, A commission shall be ap
pointed by the Secretary of War to su
perintend the execution of this order
in the respective States.
The United States Marshals in the
respective districts, the mayor and
chief police of any town or city, the
sheriff of tho respective, counties in
each State, all postmasters and justices
of the peace are authorized to act as
special provost marshals to arrest any
officer or private soldier• fit for duty
who may be found absent from his
command without just cause and con
vey him to the nearest military post
or department. The transportation
and expenses of the duty and five dol

[l'foni t 143 Capital City Fact.]
There has been for some days a gen,
tleman stopping at the Buckeye 'Tote],
in this city, wearing the uniform. of a
National soldier, and with one leg am,
putated above the knee, whose whole
appearance gives evidence of suffering
and hardship such as is never experi
enced anywhere save in the hands of
the infernal miscreants whom Vallan
digham delights to call his brethren.—
friend of ours, in conversation with
TERMS, $1,50 a year in advance.
him a day or two ago, elicited his sto
ry, which was told in so quiet and yet
so convincing a manlier, and accompa
nied with so many names of persons
and places, as to leave no doubt of its
entire truthfulness. We propose to
lay it before our readers, that they
may reflect upon the chances they
would run in tho war. It ap
pears that the gentleman to whom we
refer was in the engagement at Carni
fex Ferry, where ho received a wound
in the fleshy part of his leg, and was
taken prisoner. lie was sent to a hos
pital with the rest of the wounded,
where, after lying unattended for over
a day, his injury was dressed; the
wound commenced healing, and he
was able in a day or two to walk
about a little.
One day, three or four Rebel sur
geons, accompanied by John E. Floyd,
entered the roost where lie was lying
on a hod. Floyd, on observing him,
made the inquiry, ' 6 How is this d--d
Yankee getting along?"
One of the
surgeons stepped up to him, tore off
the bandage in a brutally rough style,
thereby opening the wound afresh, and
inflicting torturing pain upon their un
fortunate victim. On looking at it
the surgeons declared the leg must be
amputated. The man expostulated,
saying lie was able to walk, and was
getting well Kist, but to no purpose;
out calms the instrument and he was
deprived of his leg below the knee, the
operation being performed without the
slightest regard to his Meer sufibrings,
and consuming nearly an hour. After
this was done, he was left to himself
for a day or two, with his health im
paired and his constitution broken.—
At the expiration of two or three days
his tormentors returned, again accent- i
[tallied by Floyd. The dressings of
his mutilated limb were again jerked
off, and without examination or con
sultation, it was announced that it
must be amputated again, this time
above, the knee. The almost dying
man begged of them to kill him, and
not again put him to the misery he
had undergone before. It was of no
avail, however. The surgeons were
determined, and the amputation was
performed. Floyd endorsed their
course, exclaiming " G—d d—n him,
cut off both his legs; that will prevent
him from fighting again."
They kept hint under the second op
eration an hour and forty minutes, of
fering
hint no stimulants nor any of
the usual help to sustain him while
under their hands. After this piece of
1 tal V. 1 .3:, _ll
fate willed it, and a strong constitu
tion and previous good health carried
him through until he was exchanged.
He is now at home, a cripple, prema
turely old, unable to help himself, and
dependent upon others for his support.
We have no comments to make on

A Long and Bloody War.
The longest warrecorded in history,
if not the most destructive and impor
taut, was that waged for a hundred
and eighty-two years against their
Spanish invaders by an Indian tribe,
or rather nation, called the Araucani
ans, occupying the South-eastern part
of South America. In a recent (finn
an work we find a sketch of this obsti
nate struggle, from which we gather
the following facts:
In the year 1540, the celebrated Pi
zarro having made himself master of
Peru, sent Pedro do Valdivia. ono of
his most able civil and military follow
ers, to make the conquest of Chili, who
at the bead of 150 Spaniards and a
body of Peruvian auxilaries, penetra
ted into the heart of the country, con
quering the brave Araueanians in nu
merous battles, and finally in a great
plain in which he found the huts of 20,-
000 Indians, laying in 1541 the found
ation of Santiago, the present capital
of the republic. llc also founded an
other important city, to which he gave
his own name. After nine years' fight
ing, he made himself master of all the
northern part of Chili, winch ho divi
ded among his soldiers. In the midst
of all his brilliant triumphs, as he
thought them, a grand reverse and
death itself awaited him; for in 1553,
Caupolican, the great Araucanian
chieftain, won a signal victory over
him, taking llin4 prisoner and putting
hint to death. A heroic Araucanian
youth, named Lautaro, commanded
the native forces in this battle, and af
terwards conducted them from victory
to victory, till being surprised in his
camp, lie was taken prisoner and shot
with arrows, with all party, In 1557,
the new Spanish Governor Mendoza,
invaded the territory of the Araueani
ans at the head of a powerful army,
and conquered in three bloody battles.
Caupolican venturing to attack him
at a certain place where Mendoza had
founded the city of Canete, his forces
were annihilated, himself taken priso
ner, :ITN put to death by impaling and
shooting him with arrows.
After these disasters, the Araueani
ans withdrew to the mountains, when
the Spaniards, in exploring the coun
try, came to Chiloe, a large island on
the southwest of Chili, 120 miles long
and 36 wide. Tho celebrated poet,
Ercilla y Zuniga, accompanied the ex
pedition, and was the first to put his
lbot upon the island. The only Epic
of the South American Continent is
the " Araucana," some of which he
wrote on the bark of trees, and in
which ho described the country, the

The death of Caupolicon, first in the
memory of his countrymen, aroused
them to seek new vengeance on their
invaders. Flying to arms, and led on
by the oldest son of their former chief.
tain, they were finally routed, when
their General took his own life to es
cape tho fide of his father. One Span
ish Governor succeeded to another for
half a century or more, all of whom
made war upon the Arimeanians, but
were unable to subdue thetni whilo
native chiefs and commanders' wore
raised up of equal heroism with Can
polieon, who defeated the Spaniards,
and taking possession of their new ci,
tics, and driving hack their invaders,
established their boundary far to the
North. In 1644 the Spanish Gover
nor, tho Marquis do Valdes, after a
hundred years' war, made a treaty
with the Araucanian chieftain Lincop
ichin, which secured peace until 1655,
when war broke out again, which raged
at intervals till 1722, when a treaty
was concluded which established the
boundaries of Arauco, and at the same
time recognised the independence of
the nation. A more warlike race nev
er existed ; even at this day they main
tain their independence, and within
three years past have been at war with
the Chilians, and fbught several sue
cessfal battles. The 'Chilians of the
present day, as well as the old Span.

honor. The government paper pub
lished at Santiago is called El Arauca

Chillans wore pnly a continuation of
the old native race, and the Republic
only old "Arauco," under a new name.
The Chilian writer, whose pages we
have consulted, pays this tribute to
their heroism and love of country;—
"The Araucanians, seeing the danger
to which their country and liberty
were exposed, flew to arms, and swore
they would die before they would be
slaves. • History does not present us
with the example of another, war so
obstinate and cruel as that which these
valiant Arancanians fought out with
so Much glory and under so many dis.
advantages, conquering their invaders
in regular fought battles, killing their
generals, destroying their fortifica
tions, and never laying down their
arms except by truces and treaties by
which the Spaniard contrived to ad
vance in securing to himself the pos.

Araucanian territory, although at the
cost of more blood and treasure than
had been c4pended in the conquest of
all Aurorica, without after all subju•
gating the Araueanians to the Spanish
domination."
In character the Araucanians are
courageous and heroic, lovers of their
country, and prodigal of life when
their liberty is in peril, which is con
sidered by them as essential to exist
ence. They aro discreet, generous
and faithful in their conduct, but at
the same time superstitions, and grown
up in all the vices incident to the sav
age life they lead. Civil government,
properly 'so called, does not exist among
them, all being divided into a great
number of independent tribes: , They
believe in the immortality of the soul,
and recognize tbp pxlsWive of a&-
promo Omnipotent Being and various
inferior divinities, but render to • no
ono any external worship.
