The Sprinafiebi, ) Journal, in the course of an eloquent article, says that there have been revolutions where the whole people arose as one man to throw off the rule of sonic ty rant. The revolutions in France and in this country are examples of this kind. But the world has seldom, if ever. furnished an example when the whole people have spontaneously and with one common purpose rushed to oppose the enemies of their Govern ment, until we find it in our own age and our own country. The difference is obvious. Revolutions are produced by a long series of outrages and ty rannies committed against the people under the name of rightful authority and justgovermnent. When these acts of usurpation and tyranny can be en dured no longer, the» comes revolu tion, in which a people gathering to gether their resources, forced to or ganize by a common injustice, and at tracted by a common interest and com mon danger, prepare to resist oppres ion, and throw off an unjust govern ;limit. Such was the history of the beginnings of our own struggles for in dependence, and such has been the history of revolution in every nation which has rebelled against authority unjustly exercised. But such has not been lhe origin of the outbreak against the Government of the - United States, in the South.— The party which stirred up the South ern rebellion had long held possession of the principal offices of the Govern ment, and had administered the affairs of the million as they chose. The people, in a constitutional and regular mituic r at the ballot-box, decided in favor of a change of our national policy. 'Then it was that the elements which had been carefully prepared for the present rebellion were set in motion. Hostilities against Government were sat on foot even before the new admin- sstration came into power. It was not rebellion against tyranny and oppres sion, for the new government had had no opportunity to perform any acts .Ivhatever. It was simply an attempt to retain possession of the Government which the people in a constitutional I manner had decided should go into other hands. The unanimity which seems to inspire the enemies of the Government in the South is not the 1 result of choice. It is the outgrowth 4)f long continued and persistent mis representations of the real policy and designs of the party which was about to come into power, and a reign of in tolerance and terrorism in the South ,which rendered security- of person and property incompatible with freedom :of thought and of action. The misre presentation which misled the people -of the South was the work of Northern politicians and newspapers, no less than Southern leaders; and intolerance 'was the' natural result of long educa tion, and of that arrogance and impa tience under restraint which Southern 'institutions are so well calculated to Ea The unanimity and enthusiasm with which the loyal citizens of the Union are now leaving their business and their homes and rushing to the defence of their Government, is one of the most remarkable proofs of the fitness of the people for self-government. It, more than anything in the history of our county, puzzles the philosophers who have been accustomed to draw their - theories of government from the mon archies of the Old World. There is nothing in our present difficulties which should cause any one to despair of the experiment of self-government. On the contrary, only let the people put forth the power necessary to suppress ,a causeless rebellion, and let that pow er be so employed and directed by the Government as to insure that result, and the success of our experiment is WILLIAM LEWIS, Editor and Proprietor. VOL, X VIII, established. The grand, spontaneous uprising in the loyal States, which we arc just now witnessing, will illumin ate one of the brighest pages in our future history. Only let our Govern ment be true to the people who are so generously risking their lives and their all in its defence, and the result cannot be in doubt. Co. D, 110th Regt., P.

The Destruction of the Ram [Correspotolonce of the New York fiernhl BATON Ronal:, La., Aug. 7.—On the receipt of the intelligence at New Or leans of the battle of Baton Rouge, on the sth instant, it was determined be tween your regular correspondent at the first named city and myself that I should proceed at once to Baton Rouge, for the purpose of gleaning all the par ticulars of the fight, and, in the event of the rebels renewing the attack, to send on by the Roanoke full details to the latest moment. Accordingly, arm ed with the necessary pass, your cor respondent.took passage on the steam transport Empire Parish, Captain Thompson, to whom he is indebted for many courtesies, and arrived at Baton Rouge between eight and nine o'clock this morning. It was rather a difficult matter to get the necessary informa tion, in consequence of the hurry and bustle consequent on the getting up of the necessary official documents fbr transmission to headquarters at Now Orleans, and the sending down. the river of the accumulated sick and wounded; but, by dint of patient wait s ing and perseverance, I obtained from HUNTINGDON, PA,, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1862. I= ARKANSAS -PERSEVERE.- I officers engaged in the battle the fol lowing interesting facts : General Williams received informa tion as early as Monday, the 28th ult., that the rebels bad started from Camp Moore, for the purpose of making an attack on Baton Rouge. On the re ceipt of this intelligence he sent out a reconnoitring party to Baton's Ferry, on the .A unit() river, sixteen miles from this place. They returned, reporting that they had not fallen in with the enemy, with the exception of a few pickets on the banks of the river. It seems, however, that the rebels had received information of the reconnois sance, and sent out a force to cut off the expedition party on their return. Our men got scent of this, and by the quickness of their movements escaped !idling into the hands of the enemy. About two o'clock on the afternoon of the 4th, information was received from some negroes that the rebels were approaching in force from the Green well Springs road, upon which troops were got under arms, ready for the menaced attack. At half-past three o'clock on the following morning, the reveille was beaten, and, the troops having formed, they were marched out to meet the enemy. About a mile out of town oar little army was drawn up in line of battle, awaiting the expected attack. The engagement was brought on by one of the companies of the Twenty first Indiana, which was on picket du ty about a mile back of the camp, be ing driven in by the rebels. As soon as the firing was heard General Wil liams sent the other companies of the Twenty-first Indiana to the support of the pickets. On reaching the scene of action they found that the enemy was in too great force to contend with suc cessfully, upon which they fell back to the front of their tents, followed by the enemy. There they made a stand and engaged the entire brigade of General Clarke, consisting of two Miss. Regi ments, and a third regiment, composed partially of men from 'Mississippi, the rest being from Arkansas. The fight ing at that place was very seve•e.— The Indiana boys performed prodigies of valor, and kept the enemy in check for a considerable time. General Wil liams finding, however, that they were too far advanced to receive support from the other regiments, ordered them to fidl back, which was done to the distance of from two hundred to two hundred and fifty yards. Just about this time the right wing of tile Union amy ei, engaged by Col. Alien's brigade. This wing con sisted of the Sixth Michigan and Nim's battery. Simultaneous with this move ment our left was attacked by Iluggle's brigade. Attached to the left wing was the Fourteenth Maine and Ever ett's battery. The fighting at this point was excessively severe, and the roar of battle was heard all along the lino from left to right. This lasted for about twenty minutes, during which time the rebels kept their troops mask ed under the cover of the woods as much as possible, while the Union sol diers were exposed to their fire in the open field. Considerable inconvenience was experienced by our troops, too, in consequence of their facing to the east, which caused the morning sun to shine in their limes, rendering their opera tions exceedingly difficult. Still, our brave troops flinched not, but manfully bore the show( of overwhelming num bers, in the fitce of every difficulty The Thirtieth Massachusetts was now ordered to advance and suprort the Michigan troops ; but while they were getting into position it was found that their aid was not necessary, as the Michigan boys had already re pulsed their opponents. The Ninth Connecticut and the Fourth Wisconsin, which were hold in reserve, were or dered about the same time to advance in support of the other regiments; but as they were going on the field the en emy retired. At one period of' the fight tho enemy got into the camp of the Twenty-first Indiana and burned it, upon which this regiment, from the cover of the woods, poured a most ter rible volley into them, doing fearful execution, and causing them to retire precipitately. They met a similar fate from the Twentieth Maine, into whose camp they had forced an entrance, though they succeeded in burning this camp too. While the fight was raging three companies of the sixth Michigan Vol unteers were in peril of being cut off by the Fourth and Thirtieth Louisiana regiments, commanded by General Al len, acting as Brigadier Gen. These two regiments suddenly emerged from the woods and marched towards the three companies, with the view of turning their right flank. They had succeeded in capturing two guns be longing to Nim's battery, and a well known rebel officer named Henderson, was seen to wave a flag in triumph over the guns. Some say it was a black flag, but doubts have been ex pressed in regard to the correctness of the statement. The two guns were brought to bear on the gallant Michi gan boys; but they were too nimble for the rebels. Lying flat on the ground, the rebel balls flew over them, upon which they started to their feet and poured so well directed a volley into the enemy's ranks as to complete ly astonish him. This was handsome ly seconded by the remaining guns of dm's battery, which making a detour along the road, so severely galled the Louisiana regiments by a well timed cross fire that when the two compa nies of the Michigan Sixth came to the bayonet charge the rebels were driven back to the woods, leaving the two guns they had captured behind them. Nim's battery thus got their own again.

A black flag was also captured—probably the iden tical one that the rebel officer, Hen derson, so defiantly waved over the trophies he was soon to lose. The hardest part of the fighting was in the centre, where the Fourteenth Maine fought with distinguished bra very. The Twenty-first Indiana also fought like tigers, and it is said that a rebel General paid them the handsome compliment of saying that, but for those damned Indianians Baton Rouge would have been captured, though there are Union soldiers who do not see it exactly in that light. When the long roll was beaten, the gunboats Essex, Sumter, Kineo and Katandin took up their positions, the two former to protect our left and the two latter our right flank, The Essex and the Sumter opened fire in the woods, their shells screaming through the trees, tearing them into shreds and scattering an iron hail around.— Signal officer Davis of the Kineo, sta tioned himself on the tower of the State House, from which elevation he had an excellent view of the field, and could signal to the vessels where to throw in their shells. After the bat tle had raged for sonic time the Union troops began to MI back on the Peni tentiary, when several well directed shots from the eleven-inch guns of the boats kept the rebels m check.— Shortly after this the firing ceased At half-past three P. M. firing was re-opened, the gunboats Kineo and Katandin shelling the woods in differ ent directions where the enemy were doing great execution. It has been stated that one shell from the Nine° killed from forty to sixty rebels. To wards evening the firing again ceased; but the gun-boats continued to send in a shell every halt' hour in different parts of the woods during the whole night, with a view of keeping the reb els at bay; but they had already fled, the gallant charge of the Sixth Michi gan having completed their discomfit ure. The rebels were led by Major Gen. John C. Breekinridge, who scampered off in such haste that he left' ids sword behind. It was picked up on the field, and is retained as a trophy. Perhaps it was this circumstance thatgave rise to the report that the traitor lost his right arm. There can be no mistake as to whom the sword belonged, for Breckinridge's name is engraved on it. There were two other Generals on the field, namely, Clarke and Rug- I Wes, and one Acting Brigadier, Allen. .General Clarke was taken prisoner, and is now at Baton Rouge, in charge of a personal friend. The rebel troops have been variously estimated at from five to eight thousand, while the Unionists did not exceed two thousand five hundred in number. Thus ended the battle of Baton Rouge, by no means the greatest, but certainly the best fought and most stubbornly contested of any during the present war. It would have die ponied to the four winds of Heaven, had that not been done already, the wretched delusion that Southernors are superior in valor to those whom they contemptuously term " Yankees." While the firing wasgoing on smoke was seen up the river behind a bend.—, It was ascertained that it proceeded front the rebel ram Arkansas, in pursuance of the programme laid down for her to attack the Union vessels while their laud for ces were dealing with our troops. It seems, however, that the commander of the Arkansas thought better of the matter, and did not venture down; for there was the Union rani Essex, as well as the other gunboats, ready to give her a warm reception, and at night the commanders of the Union vessels wondered where the Arkansas was. Their curiosity being stimulated by the continued absence of the non descript, or " What is it," as Barnum would term it, it was determined that, j as the mountain would not go to Ma i hornet, Mabotnet would go to the mountain, and go he did, being repre sented by the Essex leading, closely followed by the Sumter, Kineo and Katandin. On turning the elbow, be yond which her smoke had been seen the previous day, the monster was dis covered to be on fire close into the bank. The rebel gunboats Webb anti Music were by her, but they prudent ly retired on seeing our boats. It seems that the Arkansas was worked by two engines on ono wheel, and that both must be in working order or neither will act. One of the engines ' got out of order, and the other would not work without its fellow, in conse quence of which she got under the bank. It is probable that the Webb and Music were there to tow her off, but that, on seeing our boats approach ing she was sot on tire. As the Union gunboats approached, several shots were fired at the Essex from the Arkansas, one or two of them taking effect, hilt without doing any damage. In consequence of the immovable position of the Arkansas, she could not bring more than QllO or two of her guns to bear, or Etho might have given the Essex a great deal of trouble, as the latter vessel is quite un manageable. The Essex ran past the Arkansas to a part of the river where there is a reach of some length, and opened on her formidable antagonist at five hundred yards with three guns loaded with solid shot. One of these took effect right under tho port in the starboard bow of the Arkansas, and split in two from the force of the con cussion. Commander Porter then or dered the same gun to be loaded with an incendiary shot of his own inven tion, and, without moving the gun to take a new aim, the shell was fired, entering just where the solid shot had TERMS, $1,50 a year in advance, struck. Immediately a jet of flame was shooting upwards from the Arkan sas, and in a short time the whole ves sel was on fire. It is supposed that the condensed cotton with which the Arkansas is packed caught fire from the shell; and communicating thence to the wood work, soon wrapped the monster in flames. After burning till all her upper works were destroyed, she swung off into the stream, where she blew up with a terrific explosion. The Arkansas was plated with rail road iron on the outside, over a plank ing of six-inch oak; inside that was six inches of condensed cotton on an other six-inches of oak. The destruc tion of the ram caused a feeling of ex ultation to pervade the whole fleet.— Admiral Farragut expressed his deep satisfaction at the event, which was slightly alloyed with a feeling of dis appointment that the job on which he had set his mind had not been perfor med by himself. lie, however, gives Captain Porter all the credit to which so brilliant an achievement entitles him. Two deserters from the Arkansas, who joined the Union navy, say that the commander of the redoubtable craft exp - ressed himself as standing in far more wholesome dread of our gun boats than of iron rams. While Mr. Davis was on the State House tower, a shell from the Kinco, fired over the tower, exploded prema turely, and a fragment passed unpleas antly near to the signal officer. Last night as the transport Sallie Robinson was coming up from New Orleans, on getting abreast of Donald sonville; about midway between the city and this place, she was fired into by a field battery-, but without any fur ther damage than a shot through the smokestack. The flag-ship Hartford had already passed, but the Brooklyn was somewhat astern of the Sallie Robinson. As soon I).s the Brooklyn arrived at the place, a volley of mus ketry was fired into her without effect. She fired several shots in return, but it could not be ascertained if any one was hit. It is impossible to say with anything like certainty whether the rebels will renew the attack on this place. That they cannot do so without strong rein forcements is pretty evident, and the opinion among military men seems to be that, with our strong fleet, of gun boats now commanding the river front, they will not dare to attack the place under any circumstances, for it is now an established fact that if there is any thing they dread rather more than the •authgl of evil it is a gun-boat. Destruction of the Ram Arkansas WAsitiNuToN, Aug. 19.—The Navy Department is in receipt of voluminous despatches from Admiral Farragut, among which are the following : FLAG SHIP HARTFORD, } BATON ROUGE, Aug. 6, 1862. Sut : It is one of the happiest mo ments of my life that I am enabled to inform the Department of the destruc tion of the rain Arkansas, not because I held the iron-clad in such terror, but because the community did. On the 4th inst., I sent the Tennes see up to Baton Rouge with provisions for Commander Porter and the gun boats stationed at that place. On the night of the WI she returned with in formation that the enemy bad made a combined attack on Baton Rouge by the ram and two gun-boats—the Webb and Music, and called for assistance. At daylight the Ihrtford was under weigh for this place, with orders for the other vessels to follow me as fast as they got ready. I arrived hero to day in company with the Brooklyn, Westfield, Clinton, Jackson, and Sei ota. I had sent the Caynga up before me; agreeably to a request of Gen. Butler, in consequence of some of the gueril las firing into some of his transports. On my arrival I was informed by Coma nderiW. Porter,that yesterday morning at 2 o'clock, the enemy's for ces under General Breekinridge attack ed Gen. Williams, drove in his pickets, etc. General Williams having had ample warning, all was prepared for him.— The fight was continued with great energy on both sides until ten o'clock. A.M., by this time the enemy bad been driven back two or three miles. But unfortunately the gallant Gon. Williams, while cheering on his men, received a minie ball through the heart. General Williams had informed Lieut. Commanding Ranson, the evening be fore of his plans, and requested him not to fire a gun until ho notified him; and when he did so our gun-boats Ki neo and Katandin opened with fine ef fect, throwing their shells directly in the midst of the enemy, producing great dismay and confusion among them. ',lent. Ransom had an officer on the State Ifouse, which overlooked the ad jacent country, and could direct the fire of every shell. As soon as the enemy was repulsed, Commander Porter went up the stream after the ram Arkansas, which was lying about five miles above, apparent ly afraid to take her share in the con flict according to the preconcerted plan. As soon as be came within gun-shot he opened on her• and probably soon disabled some of her machinery or steering aparatus for she became un manageable, continuing however, to fire her guns at the Essex. Commander Porter says be took ad vantage of her presenting a weak front towards him, and loaded a gun with in cendiary shells. After his first dis charge of this projectile a gush of fire came out of her side, and from that moment it was discovered she was on fire, which ho continued his exertions to prevent from being extinguished. 1 1"2-1-= GLOBE JOB PRINTING OFFICE, THE "GLOBE JOB OFFICE" 15 tho most compieto of any in the country, and pos• flosses tho most ample facilities for promptly executing tit the bestatVp, oyery varluty of Job Printing, ouch Na HAND DILLS, CARDS, CIRCULARS, BALI, TICKETS, BILL HEADS, LABELS, &C., &C., RC, NO. 12.
