Hon. Joseph Holt on the War. The following letter from Iron. Jo seph Holt was written in reply to a letter from CAuctor Barney, of New York, expressing to him a personal desire that he would accept an invita tion which had been sent to him by a committee of gentlemen to attend :unit address a public meeting in that city upon the state of the country and the issues of the times : Judge Fiolt's Letter. Miohington, Oct. 25,1S02.—IIon.IIi ram Barney—Dear Sir :—Your favor of the 22d instant has been received. An invitation similar to that 'which you so kindly urge upon me I have been obliged, within the last few days, to decline, in consequence of engage ments hero which occupy every mo ment of my time, and I must now make the same answer to yourself. There will doubtless be present with you, on the occasion referred to those capable by their eloquence of affecting all the good that popular addresses can accomplish. I must be frank, how ever, and say that to me it seems that what is at this moment needed is' not words, however glowing, but heroic deeds. The tongue of an archangel could scarcely comfort and animate the popular spirit in the presence of the inaction of our armies. How the Rebellion Stands. After an unparalleled expenditure of treasure, and the marshaling of such armies as the world has never seen, and sacrifices which are clothing the land in mourning, at the expiration of eighteen months from the commence ment of the Rebellion, we find it more defiant and determined, and more suc cessful in its invasions and spoilations, than at any moment since the struggle began. This - is from no lack of devo tion on the part of the people, who have poured out their blood and treas ure like water, nor yet front any lack of courage on the part of our brave volunteers. Our' soldiers have been everywhere panting for a sight of the enemy, while the great heart of the country, in its solemn and earnest so licitudes, is like a ground swell of the ocean, pressing on our threes towards the battle-field. A saddened belief is rapidly spreading that, unless the present condition of things is speedily changed, our cause will be lost. Bold and aggressive - Movements De- manded An immediate, bold and aggressive movement upon the enemy, following up every blow struck and gathering the fruits of every victory gained, is what is required for our deliverance. .To the accomplishment of this single object the thoughts, the efforts and the prayers of the whole country should be directed. If those who are in the fron t will not go forward, the public safe ty will demand that they be assigned positions of the rear. What are the sensibilities, what the reputation or what the cherished schemes of any General in the field, as compared with the life of such a government and country as ours? If, with the cloud less skies and bracing airs and fine roads of autumn, our vast and com :-TinfolY 11111 - whited army cannot do its work, when - wilt Who - at,le to do so? If Lee, Jackson and Lougstrcet can move with.promptitude and dashing celerity, in the cause of treason and barbaric vandalism, why cannot our chieftains move as promptly and as fast in the cause of honor and loyalty? How much longer will the nation en dure that all its sacrifices be fruitless? Its conviction that it possesses, twice told the power to subdue this rebellion ismot more complete than, in my judg ment, will be its determination that neither the follies nor the crimes of men shall render that power-unavail ing. The Torpidity of our Armies the Cause of Party Resurrections. It is this torpor of our armies—this hope deferred for the hundredth time —which has unfurled that party ban ner; whose. shadow is now resting on SO ninny of the loyal States. It is not disloyalty that has prompted the de plorable movement, -but a weariness and discouragement consequent upon the losses, humiliations and delays we have suffered, yet it is the most alarm rog orate times, and can only be arrested by decided military successes. the law of the very existence of such political organizations, to seek strength by assaults upon the admin istration, in whose hands; for weal or woe, is the direction of those move ments upon which necessarily depend the preservation of the Union. These assaults will grow in vigor and bitterness as they pro,less, and --while thus indirectly affording " aid comfort" to the rebellion, will make continual, albeit unconscious, ap proaches towards an open affiliation with it. Let those who are called up xin to vote a party ticket in the midst of the tragic events now upon us, pon der well, before doing so, the disastrous consequences of such a policy—a poli cy from:whose baleful tendencies no purity of motive can possibly detract. '-Lot them hesitate long before they sow the seeds of dissensions, whose bitter fruits may be upon the lips of their children's children. Let them not for. get that by thus presenting a divided front they degrade our cause before the world, 'they paralyze our own 'Strength and add immeasurably to the hopes, the confidence and the power of the enemy. Already the Confederate press is pointing the deluded people of the South to these rising distractions among ourselves, in a tone,not merely of hopefulness but of exultation. Controversies In-Timed If any Man, as a motive for ea& a course, suppose, that be has ground of complaint against the President, let him -take heed that his ill-directed hos tility does not put in jeopardy the-Re public itself, for whose- preservation from overthrow the President is bites- Aantly"Und joyally laboring. - What has a 'controversy with the President of the United States to do with . the question of loyalty to our Country in the midst of such,a struggle as this? If hb e'rrs:as the best -of men are lia ble to do—he hisoon to pass away with all his deeds, but our Government and country should, and if we are truo.,to -them, they will endure for 'countless • ages to come: the President, with all the. dignities and responsibilities be longing to his position, is but a pilot on the national ship :for a single watch of the night. Who will be jo insane as to aid, how ever-indirectly. in scuttling the ship; =2 merely because he has a qu'arrel with the pilot, from whose hands the helm is so soon to be wrested? \\ - ho is wil ling that a savage shout. a: of victory, shall go up from that armyof ferocious rebels, whose hands ale d.mbly dy e d in the blood of one peoplc \V ho i. willing that a thrill of joy :-.11:01 run throughout the entire South. an I tlutt bonfires and illuminations shall be I:la dled in the city of Richmond, over the triumphs of the Opposition in the great Empire State? if such there be, let him vote a party ticket. The occasion demands the development of the subli mest phases of human character. If with the duties to our land and to our race which are pressing upon us, we cannot rise above a miserable scramble for party spoils and, power, then the sooner we creep into our graves the better. • Foreign Intervention Threatened by our Another danger which is threatened from the inaction of our armies comes from abroad. This Rebellion is as übiquitous in the curses it scatters as it is folish in its spirit. The conflict, from our commercial and other rela tions, concerns the happiness of the civilized world. Foreign nations, with a forbearance which cannot be too much commended, have, without in terference, waited patiently, and given us every opportunity to subdue the re bellion. But, unless some decisive military demonstration soon takes place, and the South is occupied by our forces, these nations will conclude that we lack either the will or the power to re-establish the Union. Fearful Evils of Interference. Already a member of the English Cabinet (Mr. Gladstone) has openly declared that “Davis has made a na tion of the South," and such an an nouncement, from such a source, can not but be accepted as having a star tling significance. If the vast army in whose presence, as it were, a half-beat en enemy is leisurely destroying one of the most important railroads of the loyal States does not do its work spee dily, European Governments must crc long yield to the clamor of their im poverished and starving populations. and there will come intervention, "with all its woes." , Upon this will follow at once. intimate entangling alliances with the South, to be succeeded by hostilities with us, and, in all human probability, by the permanent estab lishment of the Rebel Confederacy. What fate might befall our own in stitutions amid the bankruptcy and demoralization and brokenness of spi rit consequent on such a dismember ment, I will not trust myself to inquire. We cannot hope to escape from this train of events by any exploits of our navy, however brilliant, occupying the Southern coast and the cities upon the sea-shore. This, though well and very well, will be but scratching the ex tremities of the giant instead of dealing blows at his heart. That heart palpi tates defiantly in the armies of Lee and Jackson, which have so recently ravaged Maryland, and still from the banks of the Potomac threaten the capital. ~ For All Things that are for the Union." My faith in all this matter is simple and briefly stated. It is this : For all things that are for the Union— against all things that are, against it. I am for the Union as uncondition ally as I am for protecting my own body, at every cost and hazard, from the knife of the assassin. human institution, no earthly interest, shall ever by me be weighed in the scales against the life of my country. Least of all will I approach with 4i:sandaled feet, or permit to be thus weighed, an institution, the feeding fountain of whose being—the African slave trade —the laws of my country have for more than forty years denounced as a crime worthy of death—a crime not against any . particular code, or any particular form of civilization, but a crime against the very race to•which we belong. Host is /oimani genesis is the designation which the Christian legislation of • the United States has given to the African slave trader•., I yield to no man in veneration for the Constitution, or in determination that its blessings shall be extended to those who respect and obey it. The door to all these blessings is widely open to the Southern people, and they are earnestly invoked by the Presi dent to enter in and enjoy them. Interests of the South in its own Hands These Institutions and their Or cry interest are in their . own -hands, and can be saved not only from ruin, but from the slightest injury, by the utter ance of a single word—a word of duty and honor. But, if in their passion ate pursuit of separate empire, and in their blind resentments against breth ren' who bare never wronged, them, they refuse to speak that word, and prefer to perish themselves, rather than that the loyal States shall escape destruction—be it so. The world will judo aright, and history will record its judgment. But, is it not childish prattle to say that the South can claim to be at the same moment the protege and the destroyer of the Con stitution ? Satanic Audacity of the Rebellion. Does it not'require an yudaelty, ab solutely satanic to insist that the benef iceni, provisions of that hallowed in strument shall be secured to States and people who are hourly spurning and•spitting upon its authority,, and who are leading forward vast armies to overwhelm it, and with it the homes and hopes of all who aro rallying in its defence. War—certainly one like this, in self-defence—is certainly Con stitutional; but, if such a war has its restraints, it has also its rights and duties; prominent among which, is the right and duty of weakening the enemy 'by all possible means, and thus abridging the sanguinary conflict.— Neirer until now has it entered into the,imaginations of men to, conceive that among , these duties is that,Of see ing - that the enemy.i.s . 'clOthed, Anil fed and armed before he is struck. The Constitution a Charter of National Life. In prosecuting the war, while exer cising our right to weaken the enemy, we may destroy not only ships' upon the sea, and fortresses and cities upon the land, but human life upon .the, bat tlerfield. But what institution,' `what material interest . is more hallowed than humairlife i and what material in terest is tlAira belonging to the enemy that wo are obliged to sparo, even though by -so doing we perb,ll our selves? The Constittition is a charter Inaction of national life, and not of national death. All movements which seek or tend to the dissolution of' the Govern ment created by it,, and of which it is the soul, are in conflict with its spirit and with the scope and end of its en actments, and may be resisted to the death by its express or implied author ity. Neither the keenest vision nor the most delicate ear can detect in any line or letter of that glorious char ter the faintest throb of sympathy with treason or traitors. Pardon these hurried words, which arc spoken in recrimination of none, but in grief:llone. There is abundant cause for sorrow, but none for despair. No man more sincerely desires the re establishment of the Union than does the President himself. Let it be our trust that while an October sun is yet shining, the mind on which all depends, will devise ways and means to over come every obstacle to the onward march and triumph of our armies. New York has already sent a hund red and seventy regiments into the field. The muskets they bare prove that they are unconditional Union men. God forbid that the fathers and brothers and sons whom they have left behind, should, through a show of dissension at the ballot•box, do aught to weaken their hands or to add to the strength and courage of the traitors whose swordti are lifted against their bosoms. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, J. Nora SOUTHERN NEWS. Our Operations in North Carolina, We have late Richmond papers re ceived via Fortress Monroe. The news we find in them relates chiefly to the operations of the Union forces in North Carolina. . [From the Richmond Dispatch.] THE ENEMY IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA There is no longer any doubt that the enemy's forces in .);astern North Carolina are moving on Waldo)), with a view of tapping the railroad at that point. Wo published some clays ago an account of a fight which took place between three companies of the 26th North Carolina regiment and the ad vance guard of the enemy, on Sunday last. In this engagement the enemy was repulsed, our loss being ten killed and twenty-nine wounded. Later intelligence furnishes us with sonic fuller particulars of the advance, from which it appears that the enemy landed largo forces at Washington on Sunday, and advanced towards Ham ilton and took possession of that town. It is reported that they destroyed nearly the entire place. Their force at Hamilton is reported to be 10,000 infantry with forty pieces of artillery, and a considerable force of cavalry.— They are also reported to have landed a large force at Palmyra, Halifax coun ty, some twenty-five or thirty miles from Weldon. Gen. Pettigrew com mands the confederate forces at Wel don. The Yankees are said to be commanded by Oen. Poster. There was a report in circulation on Saturday that an engagement occur red in the vicinity of Tarboro', Edge combo county, on Thursday last, be. tween some six regiments of North Carolina State Troops, under the com mand of Governor Vance and General Martin, and about 10,000 of the enemy. The Raleigh Journal, of Saturday, says that this report was incorrect ; and that nothing of the kind had taken place since the - fight of Sunday even ing. The impression prevails that the en emy- is concentrating his forces in the neighborhood of Williamston, Martin county, with the intention of attack ing some point on the line of the Wil mington and Weldon railroad. A dispatch from Goldsboro', dated 10 o'clock Friday night, states that there had been no fighting, and that the enemy had retreated in the direc tion of Weldon. We do not exactly understand how they could have re treated towards Weldon, sh:ce that is the point towards which they were supposed to be advancincr. . Aletter in the Petersburg Express, from Tarboro,' dated the sth, says the Yankee army is marching upon that town with 12,000 troops. The infor mation is derived from a Yankee de serter. They are represented to bo within 15 miles of the town, and with in 4 miles of the confederate troops. [Prom the Petersburg Express.] FROM NORTII CAROLINA. We have conflicting rumors from Eastern North Carolina. One report says that our forces were forced to a bandon a strong fortification several miles below Tarboro' on Thursday, af ter a heavy bombardment of several hours from the enemy's guns. It is also reported that the Yankees brought seventy field-pieces into the action.— Whether the first of these reports has any foundation in fact, or not, we arc unable to say, but we may say, in. re gard to the latter, that we do not be lieve the enemy brought the half of seventy 'guns to bear on our forces.— Another rumor is that the enemy arc rapidly retiring to Washington where they will be under the protection of their gunboats.. -These rumors were current on our streets yesterday, and we give them only as rumors, and for what they aro worth. If they have been officially confirmed we have yet to ascertain' the fact. [The Goldsboro Tribune of Thursday last, says We have information that the cue my are in -possession of Williamston and Hamilton, in Martin county-, and that a large force is gradually march ing upon Tarboro'. Our small force engaged them at Williamston, on the night of the 2d inst., but the overwhel ming numbers of the enemy forced our. men to fall back. Our loss, we understand, is.l2 killed and wounded, and that of the enemy over 100. - Much damage was done by shelling- to,, the buildlogs in Williamston and Hamil ton. 'We learn that ears have bee» ordered to Tarboro' to move Govern ment stores. We also learn that the programme .of the enemy, was to make demonstra tions up thoßoanoke river and.Tarbo ro' to draw act ourforees,frem Kinston, and tlfeW march up on the south side of the Neuse river from Newborn and take Kinston "without firing a gun." Our authorities, however, got informa tion to that effect, and on Tuesday night the available forces around Kin ston received marching orders to ' go as near Newborn as they could get.— Consequently, we may expect stirring news in a short time from that direc tion. Bo all this as it may, we are still of the belief that Weldon is the point the enemy wishes to reach. YANKEES IN HIGHLAND The. statement that a considerable Yankee force is in Highland county, about forty miles from Staunton, pros-es to be correct. These troops are under the command of General Cog, and have been heretofore opera ting in the Valley of the Kanawha. SERMON ON EDUCATION. To the Reverend Clergy of the State GENTLEMEN : The Educational State Convention, which was in session in Harrisburg last August, unanimously adopted a resolution, " That ministers of the Gospel throughout the state be requested to preach, on the first Sun day in December, 1862, a sermon on popular education." As the Convention adopted no means to make its wishes on the subject known to you, other than the publica tion of the minutes of its proceedings, I have taken the liberty, in this man ner, to invite your attention to it. At all times the due training of the young is of great importance, and the relation to it of the Christian ministry is plain and intimate. In the present unhappy juncture of our national af- Nl's—regarding the future through the uncertain light of the present— this importance is vastly increased, and the relation of your body to it seems to become in the same propor tion nearer. The wishes of the Convention are therefore cordially commended ie Your favorable consideration, with the liopf. , that you will simultaneously add your prayers to the Father of Light that He will at this time especially bless the cause of general education, and so guide the efforts of all entrusted with its care, that the youth of the land mar-become Christian citizens of a once more united and prosperous Re public. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, THOMAS IL BURROWES, Supt. Conn. Schools DEPARTMENT or COMAION SCHOOLS, Eitrristurg, Nov. 11, 18G2. DIED, At York, Pa., Nov. 13th, BENJAMIN F. WILLIAMS, of Co. C, 125th Regt. Pa. Vols., in the 23(1 year of his ago. Williams was wounded in the wrist at the battle of Antietam, by a pois oned ball. Some days after, his hand was amputated, but the poison had spread through his whole body, and all the kind attentions of physicians and the good citizens of York could not save him. His remains were brought home, and interred on Satur day by the honors of \var. S.tmuEL HARKER, of Hopewell twp., a volunteer soldier of Captain Thomas' company, 125th llegt., P. Ar,, departed this life on the 16th inst. At the battle of Sharpsburg he was slverely woun ded, and was sent to Camp Curtin Hospital. The wound was a deep flesh wound-in—the leg and appeared to be doing well until that scourge of hospitals, the typhoid fever, attacked him. He returned home some three weeks since, and lingered on with his wound aggravated by fever. A re quisition on the morning of the 16th was sent by the commandant of High Heaven, and Samuel was transferred to servo in another sphere, and in a corps of the spirits of just men made perfect.
