Coalmont, Pa., January, 1863 " There's place and 1110A113 (or every man alive." The world is most certainly large enough for its inhabitants. There never has been a time when the space on earth was too limited to contain comfortably those who dwelt thereon, no matter how rapidly they multiplied. The numerous lords of creation have never had cause to fear that they would perish for want of room. On the contrary, from the time of Adam down to the present day, there have always been almost boundless, tracts of uninhabited land. In our own country, thousands of acres still remain uncultivated and untenanted. The tide of emigration flows rapidly west ward, but still those mighty forests' stand erect and bid fair to remain as they aro for many generations. No ono, therefore, has need to fear that the earth will become too thickly set tled (when, during the past year, more than 35,500,000 of the world's popula tion has gone down to the earth again) before ho has had time to acquire a sufficient portion. There will be room enough for him when his turn shall have come to go forth upon " the wide, wide world." Nor is there any occasion for the many complaints wo often hear con cerning the difficulty of getting em ployment, in suitable kinds of business. This difficulty appears to arise from. the fact that persons very seldem un- ' derstand the true character of their own capacities. They mistake their abilities for certain occupations, and the consequence is that they often un dertake some employment either be yond their reach, or not suited to their turn of mind. Many a young man, instead of advancing in his vocation as ho should, step by step, to compen sate, if not wealth, has gone rapidly to ruin—sustaining loss after loss, until the utmost misery became his portion. And all this is brought about by his having mistaken his abilitieS, and hay ing entered on a pursuit for which ho was not at all suited. It frequently happens that young men provoke for tune by attempting what is beyond their reach. Let them always aim high, and look upward and onward, htit they must nOt, rashly seek what MEI BY THE 'UNKNOWN [Por the Globe.] SERMON, NO. 2 I=2 HUNTINGDON, PA.; WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1868. they may clearly see it is impossible for them to obtain. A young man of very ordinary talents and little energy, whose principles of integrity and hon esty are perhaps not of the strongest kind, must not expect to reach the highest honor in the gift of the people. Such an attempt would be downright foolishness, and certainly a most pro fligate waste of time. And yet there aro hundreds of such young men in our country, who, if they do not aim at the Presidential chair, act just as pre sumptuously. They direct their atten tion to some of the learned professions, when the truth is as clear as day, that nature intended them to bo workmen. They may study and practice as dili gently as the ant in summer, but they will never succeed, and simply because they are out of their proper "element." There is no doubt that the majority of our starving lawyers, doctors and di vines, would succeed much better at the plough, the anvil, or in the work shop. It is altogether a mistaken no tion to suppose that intelligence only is required to make a professional man. There must be a certain adaptation of character, or else learning will be com paratively useless. We need educated mechanics and farmers, as well as pro fessional men, and if a larger number. of our College graduates would turn their attention to such pursuits, pros perity would more surely crown their exertions, and the country in general be more considerably benefited. No one can expect to succeed in a vocation for which he is totally unfitted, and the ignorance Or neglect of this fact is very probably the cause of so much failure in business. • Let each one, therefore, before entering on an em ployment, be entirely certain that ho has the requisite qualifications for it; and if this conclusion is rightly ;mired at, he may always be sure of obtaining an honest and honorable livelihood. Coahnont, Pa THE MODERN ARNOLD, FITZ JOHN PORTER. [From 'Wilkes' Now York Spirit.) There are offences so utterly revolting to the instincts of our na ture, that it is with the greatest diffi culty they can be mad-c amenable to comprehension ; some turpitudes so appalling, and so at variance with all the wholesome laws of reason, that even the clearest minds will, for a time, resist them with every resource of doubt. Of this description is the frightful and unnatural crime, which a court of honorable soldiers has just fixed upon the‘man heretofore known as General Fitz John Porter. • Previous to the present war, ,the re cords of the country presented one character so pre-eminent in infamy, as to entitle it to figure as a type of wickedness, scarcely to be equalled, and never to be mentioned, except as a warning or a curse. That chatleter was Arnold's, and so earnest against it has always been the detestation of the People, that his name, by constant deprecation, has become current with the outside world, in connection with our language, as an accepted sign of baseness of the deepest shade. But there were relieving traits in Arnold's treason which made it almost tolera ble, when viewed in comparison with the execrable perfidy of Fitz John Por ter. Arnold had been born a subject of Great Britain, his fealty had but lately been transposed, and his now al legiance, so far as the obligations of duration are to be considered, was but lightly rooted. Moreover, he was a man of brilliant talents and daring bravery, and following these impulses, had rendered signal service to his coun try, which, he fancied, had been invid iously overlooked. Fitz John Porter, on the other hand, had been born un der the flag which ho betrayed, and his meagre qualities, and more than meagre courage, had always been pam pered and rewarded far beyond their weight. Sent from New Hampshire to the National Academy, he had been reared and educated among her most favored children, and when accom plished to the extreme of the nation's bounty, was embfirked in its indulgent service with a rank which is esteemed, in other lands, to be a .proper begin ning for a Prince. Ciratitude and de votion were to be expected for these kindnesses ; and chiefly were the sym pathies and services of the recipient to be expected, by the Section or State under whose patronage he had attain ed his position in the world. His sym pathies, predilections, associations and opinions, however, were found to be in opposition to these instincts, and his career soon became marked with a hostility to all the ideas and the senti ments which were identified with the region of his youth. Passing over the pro-chivalry Mexi can campaign---a crusade in which ev erybody was brevetted, whether de serving it or not—we find him figur ing in the Mormon war, and always, exercising an influence in council that prevented chastisement to treason.— Becoming soon afterwayfl a pot of Floyd's, he was sent by that miscre antat a time when he had matured his plunder of the public arsenals—on a confidential mission to Fort Sumter. The ostensible pretence was an inspec tion of its strength, and, while there, thp auxiliary of the perfidious Seem tag- performed his - mission in behalf of the Confederates, and prepared for the, het,;•.nyttl of the work by insidious- -PERSEVERE.- ly suggesting to the loyal soldier in command that, wore he in charge, "he would not attempt to defend the work, if attacked from the land side." The next theatre of Fitz John's per formances was in Virginia, while act ing,as Chief of Staff, under Patterson, during the first memorable battle of Bull Run. The public know the his tory of that deplorable affair, and they need not be told by us that it was the failure of the force of Patter son—that was virtually under the di rection of Porter—to engage Johnson, or to reinforce McDowell, which caus ed the carnage and disasters of that dreadful day. From thence, we trace Porter as the leading adviser of the long and inglorious inactivity before. Manassas; the engineer who protract ed the disgracefhl siege of Yorktown ; the strategist who deliberately plant ed his batteries in a ravine (in ono of the seven days' battles), instead of on a height, while he streamed his regts. before a raking fire of the enemy; the beau sabreur who fled precipitately froni the sneers of brave McCall, when the butternut lines were advancing up on them at Gaines' Mill; the traitor who failed Pope at Centreville, and the ungrateful comrade, ,who, when Burnside was sinking under the accu mulated weight of Hill and Long street, at Antietam, refused reinforce ments out of the thirty thousand, which had stood idle under him during all the fierce temptations of that day. llis whole career, therefore, is one eon- sistent current of darkly suspicious acts; and, at the end, he stands eon- victed by the solemn judgment of his peers, of a villainy which equals the measure of the worst that had been thought of him before. It is seldom that, in the course even of the longest life, ono man has the opportunity for so much evil as Fitz Porter found in the space of twenty months; and that he improved all the occasions which were thus presented, no one who has read the testimony in the recent trial, and been.an observer of his previous career, can, for a moment, doubt. The charges against him in that proceeding were, that having, while at Warrenton Junction, Va., on the evening of the 27th August last, re ceived an urgent order from General Pope to move forward at one o'clock the following morning to Bristow Sta tion, (which was but nine miles dist ant.) in order to attack the enemy at daylight; he deliberately disobeyed that order, went.to sleep upon it, and did not begin to nFiqtihis men till day light. The second charge was, that on the day but one afterward, to wit, the 29th August, ho, while in sight of the enemy, at the diStance of but a mile and a half for seven hours, did, after receiving an order to attack, shamefully turn his back upon the foe, whose inferior force be might easily have crushed, and march from the sound of the hostile cannon with his whole division, thus leaving the ex hausted Federal forces to be out-num bered and to be driven disastrously back upon Arlington Heights and Al exandria. Both of these charges were conclusively established, and so strongly wore some of the witnesses persuaded, even before the- treason of the second day, that Porter intended, according to the words of the lament ed Kearney, " to fail Pope," that one of them declared to Pope "be would shoot him' that night, so far as any crime before God was concerned, if the law would but allow' it." Pope, how. ever, could not realize that Porter med itated suoh fatal disobedience; but sure enough, the morning came with out his presence, and it was ten o'clock before the defaulting chief, who had performed the same manouvre at the first Bull Run, made his appearance with his troops. Tho meditated pur suit of the enemy could not then be made, and our advantages passed bar ren from our hands. Upon this point the Judge Advocate, in his masterly recital of the case, disposes of the pre tence of the culprit, that he believed he would have got along faster. by de laying until daylight, in the following words : " Nor is it believed that the conduct of the accused finds any shelter in the Napo leonic maxim quoted in the argument for the defence. The discretion it allows to a subor dinate, separated from his superior officer, is understood to relate to the means, and nut to the end of an order. When the accused de termined that, instead of starting at ono o'- clock, he would start at three or four, he did not resolve that, he would arrive at Bristow Station by daylight in a different manner from that indicated by his commanding gen eral, but that he would not arrive there by daylight at all." The testimony on the second charge makes some astounding revelations.— It appears that on the morning of the 29th, Porter and McDowell were or dered to move forward together on a given road, and follow it until they met the enemy, unless McDowell, who ranked Fitz John, should•decide that any considerable advantages were to be gained by pursuing a different course, On arriving at s, certain point in their march, McDowell decided that the commands had better be separat ed, and informing the accused that he, McDowell, would move on with his di vision and attack the enemy upon the centre, directed him to take a road leading to the left where the rising dust showed that the enemy might there be taken in the flank. The ac cused, however, instead of receiving the order with the spirit of a soldier, merely pointed with his hand to the dust rising above the trees, and re marked—" We cannot go in there anywhere, without getting into a fight." The answer of McDowell was—" That's what wo came for !" whereupon being full of his business, he hurriedly rode off. Porter, then, in a mere semblance of obedience, order ed 4 portion of his forces, tinder Off fin, to move forward, but when they _ .'" 1 - V .._ ,'& .4' , .., 1 .-.' . . 1 ',.* 21* .5 4 ~.: & q-! :, . 11 Opf/ : • .. le . .I ' . . . fi! ; C X :_r il 5; 1 . _ `t ® , , ....: , ,„-..., , u , .„. * ~,;, had advanced about six hundred yds., he directed them to halt. In this po sition he remained till after 5 o'clock, P. M., with his 13,000 well appointed men, perfectly idle before an inferior number of the foe, who, all the while, were contributing to harass and over whelm our centre. Amazed at Por ter's absence from the fight, Pope at length sent him an order dated at half past 4, P. M., " to push forward into action at once, on the enemy's right flank, and, if possible, upon his rear : " This order was delivered to him at half-past five; he received it while ly ing down under ashade tree, and with out attempting to obey, he continued reposing in the same manner, during the twenty minutes the messenger re mained. In noticing the testimony on this point,"Judge Holt employs the following language: " The accused had, for between five and six hours, been listening to the sounds of the bat tle raging immediately to his right. Its dust and smoke wore before his eyes, and the reverberation of its artillery was in his ears. He must have known the exhaustion mid carnage consequent upon this prolonged con flict, and he had reason to believe, as shown by his note to Generals McDowell and King, that our army was giving way before the heavy reinforcements of the enemy. He had a command of 13,000 fresh and well appoin ted troops, who had marched but afew miles, and had not fought at all on that day. Un der these circumstances, should not an order to charge the enemy have electrified him as a soldier, and have brought him not only to his feet and to his saddle, but have awakened the sounds of eager preparation throughout his camp? But the bugle note of this order seems to have fallen unheeded, and after read ing it, and at tho close of an interview of from fifteen to twenty minutes, the messenger who bore it, turned away, leaving the accused still •" lying on the ground." In a little while after the departure of the messenger, Porter gave an or der to NI back, and deliberately re tired altogether from the theater of the still raging battle. All thiswas known two days afterward by McClellan, yet ho retained Fitz John as his eheif corps commander, and permitted him to per form the same part,-with 30,000 men, at the subsequent battle of Antietam. The defence which Porter set up to excuse his not moving, during the whole of the'afternoon previous to the reception of Gun. Pope's order, isequal ly heinous with his conduct, and at once betrays the utter rottenness and corruption of' his case. He assumes that having, in the early part of the day, marched forward with McDowell, who ranked him when they were to gether, he considered himself all the - while still under his command, and con sequently felt justified in resting idle, by a message brought him from Mc- Dowell, some time after noon, to re main where ho was if he could do no better. This proof, shallow as it is, he attempts to make by a Luta% Cot,. LocKE, his chief of staff, who's:vs that when Gen. McDowell had been inform ed by a message just received from Gen. Porter of his intention to fall back, that he, McDowell, remarked, j Porter had better remain where he was, and tliat he, Locke, delivered these words as an order to Gen. Porter. On being cross-examined, Locke stated that these words had been uttered by McDowell in presence of Gen. King, and were heard by him. General Mc- Dowell, however, testifies that no such message was sent by him, and General King swears" he was not with General McDowell that afternobn ;" neverthe less, the culprit urged, with an unpar alleled effrontery, that, though the statemept Locke, of the reception of such message from McDowell was untrue, yet su c h an order was deliver ed by Locke to him, and that he was therefore justified in entertaining and obeying it. No stronger revelation than this can be required of the utter worthlessness of the entire defence.— The same witness who falsely deposed to the receipt of the message from Mc- Dowell, testified to its delivery to Por ter; and it is clear that the culprit must have considered his ease desper ate, indeed, when he clung for his safe ty, to what remained of credit in the words of such a witness. " But ther3 is one feature of the inaction of the accused on the 29th," says Judge•Ad• vacate Iloit, "which it is especially sorrow ful to contemplate. How, with the cannon ade of the battle in his ears, and its smoke and the dust of the gathering forces before his eyes, he could, for seven-and-a-half or eight hours, resist the temptation to plunge into the combat, it is difficult to conceive. But this alone is not the saddest aspect in which his conduct presents itself. Colonel Marshall states that, from the cheerings and peculiar yells of the enemy beard on the evening of the 29th, he and every man of his command believed that General Pope's army was being driven from the field." It is further stated by Judge Holt that the members of the Court wore convinced, from the testimony " that a vigorous attack upon the enemy by the accused, at any time between twelve o'clock, when the battle began, and dark, when it closed, would have se cured a triumph for our arms, and not only the overthrow of the rebel forces, but probably the destruction of Jack son's army." This opinion, in affect, is emphatically expressed by Generals Popo, McDowell and Roberts, and by Lieut. Col. Smith, all of whom partici pated in -the engagement, and were well qualified to judge. General Ro berts, who was on the field throughout the day, says : " I do, not doubt at all that it would have resulted in the de feat, if net in threapturo of the main army of the confederates that wore in the field at that time." To the same effect is the- explicit language of Gen. Popo, while McDowell says that" oven had the attack itself fulled, the number. of troops which would have been with drawn from the main battle by the en emy to, effect this result, would have so fitr relieved our couter as to render our 'victory complete." Upon such revelations and such proofs as these, did the court unani inously find Fitz John Porter guilty of TERMS, $1,50 a year in advance. the crimes alleged against him ;• and upon their verdict did the President strike the malefactor from the rolls and declare him to be hereafter utterly unfit to wear a sword, or to hold any office of trust or profit under the Gov ernment of the United States. It was a punishment far short of.the measure of the crime; for the culprit should have been run up to a limb, or at least led out and shot. But the President, doubtless, credited him with some re maining sensibility to human shame, and therefore judged it to be a keener penalty to force him to live and walk about among his former fellow-men, with a brand upon his forehead which stamps him not only as the murderer of Kearny and of Stevens, but the real betrayer of Antietam and both battles of Bull Run. He therefore stalks an outcast, bearing upon his brow the mark of Cain, inviting, but for the de corum of the law, the pistol of every loyal man, and worthy only of the commisseration of the Chief who so unduly pampered and advanced him. It remains to be seen, whether the morals of the time are so depraved, and whether Massacre and Treason have become so venial in the new calendar of public duty, that that patriotic chieftain will again recognize, or take this modern Arnold by the• hand. To our mind, the fact that ho can walk about unharmed amid a population whose children he has so ruthlessly be trayed to death, is the most alarming symptom of the hopeless degeneracy of public spirit, and the lowness of the ebb of an ordinary love of country. Words for the Working Classes. The following worthy words which fell from General Butler, in his recent speech at Lowell, wo commend to the careful attention of the working clas ses of this country. We warn the de mocratic portion of those classes, how ever, that after reading them, they had better form their own opinions on the subject, without going for advice, to democratic office-holders, or office seekers. 'Workingmen and true Sof fersonian democrats, who hold no offi ces and are seeking none, can read General Butler in a true unbiassed spirit. General Butler said : "I have found that this rebellion is a rebellion against the working classes, without distinction of color. The re bellion was begun and is carried on-for the purpose of creating a landed al.'s= tourney which shall give to four hund red thousand, the government of eight millions of mon. It is for that, that Jeff Davis and his confederates have undertaken a rebellion which they claim is to secure the rights of the peo ple. It is to correct the idea that the northern man, with red blood, blue eyes, light hair, and all that God gives to the image of himself, is not equal to the slave drivers, with their thin lips and palid brows—it is to correct this idea, I say, that wo aro engaged in this momentous struggle. That is the question before us; and ho who does not side with us on that question says that he desires to kiss the feet of those masters. " I went to Louisiana desiring to do everything to restore it as it was; to. see if by any possibility I might bring the principles, the laws and the insti tutions, which govern that state into harmony with the Union ; but I found there no disposition to have that done. I found that the aristocracy looked upon us as theft enemies; and I found that the working and middling classes looked upon us as friends. " Within the first month fourteen thousand of those who (imposed the bone and sinew of New Orleans had taken the oath of allegiance, not by lip service only, but from their hearts; and from that day I found no man owning slaves who would take the oath of allegiance, except for the pur pose of saving his property. That was the rule; there were some exceptions. I found the workingmen true to the Union and I found the slaveholders false to the Union. I dealt kindly with the work ingmen, and I dealt harshly with the slaveholders. (Loud applause.) • "I recognized my friends and my enemies, and I made as wido a differ ence between the one and the other as there was between Dives and Lazarus. (Applause.) I understand that you have sent forth your sons and-broth ers, not for the purpose of making peace, but war, wherever they found enemies. I believe you sent out your sons and brothers for the purpose of insisting that the flag of the United States should wave everywhere in sympathy with the powers of the Uni ted States, and upon that thesis I have acted. " I encouraged the laboring men.— A thousand were employed every day by the United States; 44,000 were fed every day by the United States, and over 17,000 of these were foreigners, whose Consuls assumed to represent them, but represented them untruly, because the Consuls represent com merce 4rmi property, not men " But ,thoso men had no voice in the newspapers abroad or at hoine, and the consequence was, their thanks and their applause were never heard, while the complaints of the property men, who felt that when they were struck slavery was struck, flowed all over Europe and the north; and every misrepresentation that the malice of enemies and traitors could devise was resorted to in order to embarrass, and 'if possible, defeat, n - iy plans ; But there is one thing hay° a right teeny —and I thank you, sir, for adverting to it—and that is, that from the first week when our soldiers entered New Crleans ggtil left there, it was as safe, as quiet, and as convenient to at tend to one's business, by day or by night, as ever it 'was in the best gov. erned cities of the North—even our own. (Load applause.) "Ee not dceelvcd. Be'uot weary I Remember this: that while we may feel this war is hard for us, it is the ef fort of desperation for them. I have seen the conscript laws of the South taking the boy of sixteen and•the old man of sixty—the schoolmaster - not excepted—and force them into the ranks. While it costs us effort, it costs them extermination. While it pats us labor, it costs them life-blood. I wish that they might be won back. without this ; but so they have not chosen. As long as life lasts, as long as any power remains, we mast stand by the Union, one and indivisible f —T (Applause.) The army feels that the slaveholdera have justly forfeited their plantations to the Government. Now let the Government say to the soldiers, , (you shall possess those plantations when you conquer the rebels," and - there will be seen a new style .of warfare.— The army will find its legs. It will he able to travel on other than rail roads. It will not want forty miles of baggage wagons when it moves. It will be interested in the result of the war. It will clamor fora continuance of the contest until the traitors are vanquished: It will care less about pay; rations, tents, stores, fuel, cloth ing, and luggage, than now. Strag. glings"and desertions, and surrender. ing to be paroled, will cease. But this is not all. Tens of thousands of men will volunteer to fill up the ranks of the old regiments to help to save the Union—and obtain a quarter section of rebels' broad acres in Dixie. The law would be an exceedingly popular one with the .masses. Almost every family has a son or brother or father in the army. Of course the people at home would like to see their relatives in the army get a farm apiece of the forfeited slaveholders' plantations.-- Great numbers of the " poor whites " in the Border States would 'enlist and fight for the same prize. The passage of such a law would acton the army and country like the discovery of a great gold region, where every - miner, by encountering a certain amount of risk, is sure of securing a competency. I, the soldier falls, let his nearest rela tives have the land warrant, and they will find another man to fill his place in the ranks. NO. 85. There is another powerful reason. in behalf of the enactment of the propos ed law : When the rebellion is crush ed, it will be absolutely necessary to plant a new and loyal white popula tion on the soil of .Dixie. Else our ter rible and bloody work will have to' be done over again, or that country must be abandoned to the slavehelders soon er or later. Half a million of soldiers would locate on their claims; a million of their relations would migrate thith er and settle among thorn. The freed blacks would work for wages for them and help to hold and defend tbe.eoun try against all contestants. The freedmen would quickly acquire small pieces of real estate, either in, long leases, or in fee, to be paid for by la bor. The-" poorlvhite trash "of the South for the first time in their lives, would begin to accumulate property, and prosper; for the . first time, labor would not seem degrading in their sight, and free schools and newspapers would rapidly throw light into their minds. The next generation would be educated and civilized, and the fu ture peace and prosperity of that coun try would be secured and established on an enduring basis. How to Put Down the Rebellion. The Chicago Tribune, of January 8, presents the following accompaniment to the emancipation edict for suppres sing the rebellion, and making the country permanently prosperous and democratic Let Congress enact a law at once, granting a land warrant of 160 'acres of land to every white soldier, front the North or South, serving in our ar my at the date of its passage, or who may enlist in the old regiments after its passage; to every commissioned of ficer under the grade of Colonel 320 acres; to every commissioned officer of the grade of Colonel and General, 640 acres. The land warrants to be laid on any confiscated rebel plantation which the holder may select, as soon as the war is over and the rebellion crushed. The lands might be graded into three classes, according to their fertil ity, and value as follows: Soldiers' warrants, for first class, 120 acres I second, 160; third class 240 acres • and for officers holdingrank below Colonel, 240 acres, 320 and 500 acres, and for the higher officers, bdst lands, 320 acres; second class, 640; third class 1,000 acres. There is plenty of land belonging to rebel slaveholders, (and comprising all the good lands in Se cessia), to fill the soldiers" warrants, without touching an acre belong to tho "poor white trash" who were deluded and dragged into the rebellion by the slaveholeers. But we may be met With the objec tion that a rebel's estate can only be confiscated during the life Of the rebel,,' We reply: Ist, That would average from fifteen to twenty years. 2, The soldier, in a majority of eases, could obtain quit-claims from the heirs for It, reasonable sum. 3, Under Doolittlein tax forfeiture bill, the Government can sell rebel lands for taxes and acquire a perfect title. 4, There is no certain. ty that the Supreme Court would do. cede against a perfect title under the confiscation bill after half a million of soldiers have settled down on their. • lands; but oven if it did, the tax title would be perfect, and the confiscation title, in a majority of cases, would last • twenty years. As to the effect ()fetich a law on the army, wp contend that it would infuse a new spirit into the sol diers and officers; that it would quad ruple their zeal and activity." There would be no more disgraceful Barrett ders of brigades and regiments to gue rillas. Soldiers now fight for abstract - Unionism and $1.3 per month. .And many have grown tired, discouraged, and homesick. But let every voIIMT teer, high and low, feel that if the 814 my wipe he is Bare of a valuable farm• of improved land i n a genial climate where he can iive the residue of his days in comfbrt, and a new spar is felt that will propel him forward.
