NOTICE,
We have not the time nor*the incli
nation, to dun personally, a large num
ber-of persons who have unsettled ac
counts upon our books of several years
standing. Wo shall, therefore, from
lay 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
is a call.
This world is not all dark and drear ;
There's more of good than ill ;
And while we make our sojourn here,
We know there's much to give us cheer
When we but will.
The storms that rise, soon flee away,
And we shall find the sun
Ever above the clouds, whose play
Obscures with transient gloom the day,
Is shining on.
The many laugh, while some will mourn ;
The few must watch and weep;
But while they deem the world forlorn,
And sigh in pain from eve, till morn,
•
The many sheep.
In our own hearts the shadowae,
That tinge the world with gloom
If we will pass the evil by,
The good is round us, ever nigh—
E'en to the tomb.
And when we rail against this earth,
We prove our want of faith
In him who gave creation birth—
Who blesseq us beyond our worth,
In life or Path.
Coahnont, Pa., 1.5t13.
The Domestic Traitors.
It is a marvellous thing to observe
how, in sonic men's perceptions of
right and wrong, partizan considera
tions alone enter into the settlement
of the question. Observe for example,
the deep emotions which swell the
breasts of our northern secessionists
when they can discern a shadow of
infringement on the sacred claims- of
liberty. They see and acknowledge
that their country is passing through
a fiery ordeal, the most momentous in
its history ; bloody rebellion, with able
and malignant leaders, heading a nu
merous and desperate army, essays to
overthrow the republic and trample on
its ruins. Not, alone for separate go-v
-ernment do the traitors fight, but open
ly and oftentimes have they threaten
ed to sever the bond which links to
gether this brotherhood of free States,
so as by internal discord to break -them
into fragments and prepare them for
the yoke of the slave-dealer. Yet their
sympathizers here can shut their eyes
to foul misdeeds and deadly purposes
like these, and put forth any number
of weak apologies for treason, so la
mentably insufficient to extenuate the
crime, that we marvel at their unblush
ing audacity. They can gravely prate
of violated southern rights, when the
manifest fact stares us in the thee that
the slaveholders have had about twice
as much as they could faithfully claim,
and were only incited to additional
demands by their superserviceablo ad
vocates at the north, who hoped there
by to climb into the seats of power.
These half-treasonable friends of
treason assure us they are friendly to
the Union, and yet exert their every
faculty to paralyze the government in
its efforts to restore it. They insidi
ously discourage enlistments by mag
nifying the unavoidable discomforts
and privations of camp-life, and give
prominence in their journals tO the
plaints of every weak-kneed or faint
hearted soldier. They assure our ar
mies that they are led to butchery by
incompetent commanders, and when
such acts have made the desired im
pression, they turn round and tell us
the soldiers are disaffected and cannot
be relied on. The mischief makers,
most of whom are men prominent as
defenders of every infamous attempt
to defraud the national treasury under
Buchanan's administration, now exag
gerate every incident of a kindred ap
pearance that can be tortured into a
colorable accusation against the na
tional Administration. Although two
sternly honest Democrats, too patri
otic to betray their country to serve a
party, have been placed at the portals
of the Treasury to prevent, its deple
tion by dishonest contractors, and the
government is now served lye!l and
economically in all essential prospects,
still these fault-finders rave incoherent
ly about the prevalent corruption, and
dwell at length upon each accident or
oversight in the pr9gresa of an unex
ampled warfare which may occasion a
partial loss or disadvantage. They
would have human agencies of a per
fect character to carry out each mili
tary operation—weather always pro
pitious, that no impediment may inter
pose from wind, or rain, or snow, or
softened roads: 'The Administration
is accountg,ble for the sudden meteoro
logical 'l74lations, and the fervent pa
triots rave distractedly pycr the at4..n.

THE BRIGHT SIDE
MEEE
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1863
But the rogues, after all, are but
poor hypocrites. They secretly re
joice over each disaster to the loyal
cause, and chuckle with ill concealed
glee whenever their friends, the rebels,
obtain advantage. They belie their
professions of loyalty by absence from
those gatherings where and is extend
ed to the national cause, and by that
air of restraint and gloom so distinctly
perceptible when by some social chance
they find themselves in an atmoi.iihere
of loyalty. Very uncomfortable, nay
even distressful, are their feelings when
thus misplaced, and very early is their
departure for more congenial associa
tion.
But, whilst these men are so vigi
lant and censorious in criticising each
act of our own Administration, how
exceedingly charitable and forbearing
are they towards offenders on the oth
ersideof the Potomac! Ample enough
to cover the hugest multitude of sins
is that charitable cloak which secession
throws over rebel iniquities. SoUthern
traitors are privileged persons. They
have a strange immunity from the usu
al condemnations meted out to crime.
As monarchs are assumed to govern
by divine right, so is the slave master,
because he inherited or purchased his
fellow men. He is above all moral
law, and denies all human accounta
bility; so his political servitor abets
his every misdeed, and eten the pres
ent war against freedom. The planta
tion traitors may carry from their
peaceful dwellings the wives and chil
dren of loyal Tennessecans, shooting
and hanging the fathers and husbands,
Whilst reducing the country to a scene
of absolute desolation! The iron heel
of military despotism may trample out
every vestige of freedom, and force into
the fearful ranks of an army half
starved nearly every male inhabitant,
to battle against a government which
many of them love, and not one has
reason to oppose. The traitors may
confiscate two hundred millions of dol
lars belonging to loyal citizens, shoot
droWning and unresisting men, delib
erately kill their captives for looking
from a window, and even threaten to
murder all our officers falling into their
hands.
For those foul deeds, and so many
more that we may well forbear to
lengthen the catalogue, the tender
hearted northern secessionist has no
thunder-tones of reprobation, scarcely
a word of disapproval, nay, not even a
whisper of dissent. lie can whine
over the short detention of a treasona
ble sympathizer within comfortable
quarters, though Washington himself
advised similar precautions when na
tional liberty was endangered, and our
revolutionary. sires were compelled to
deal far more harshly with the Phila
delphia Tories of that early day.—
What can we think of half-traitors who
thus champion those of the full breed'?
Did the world ever before see such an
exhibition of folly and reereancy ?
Many of these party leaders have wax
ed fat and prosperous under the bene
ficent protection of that government
they would prostrate in the dust.—
Therefore are they fools as well as
knaves—for the very wealth for which
they coin their souls would melt away
in those scenes of disunion and anar
chy to which their actions tend.—North
American.
The Colored Soldiers at Port Royal.
The Boston Journal publishes a let
ter from Col. T. NV. Ilii , ginson, com
manding the First South Carolina (na
tive) regiment of volunteers, which af
fords interesting testimony to the mer
its of negroes as soldiers. He says
that in three weeks three hundred and
fiftradditions have been made to his
command ; that the men are docile and
amenable to discipline, and free, withal,
fiom camp vices; that there has never
been an arrest for drunkenness in the
regiment, though liquor can be had
without difficulty; that in all their du
ties the meu are fhithful and earnest,
especialy as sentinels, where they dis
play a vigilance not exhibited by
whites; that in respect to drill they
take a fitir rank with other regiments
in the department, and that, in the
eyes - of all, these facts aro recognized
and admitted. Mr. Higginson closes
as fbllows :
"It will be a grave error if it, is ex
pected to use these troops for garrison
duty only. As I have said,they.make
good sentinels, but their place is with
the advance. In their simple, affec
tionate fidelity and in the fiery energy
that lies behind it, I see for the first
time what the Chasseurs d'Afrique
must be; and I predict that they will
show in action (as indeed they have
already shown) a dash and fire in
which our army has been confessedly
too deficient. And, from their thor
ough knowledge of the country, its
wiys and resources, its food, water,
fuel, game, and of the habits attic en
emy also, they will be the natural
leaders in every bold expedition. To
use them for garrison duty only would
be like reserving cavalry to defend a
fortress, or making a reconnoissance
with heavy artillery.
"It may not be improper to add that
the original prejudice against this reg
iMent must be greatly wearing away
—at least I have been brought but lit
tle in contact with it. I have been
treated with uniform courtesy by the
officers of other regiments, and it is
very rarely that my i2lOll complain of
anv annoyance from white soldiers,
\Aieu they visit Beaufort, though their
Pat:4 lies beside the camps, both in go
ing and returning. I fancy, therefore,
that the enterprise must bo more fa
vorably regarded."

-PERSEVERE.-
True Character of the Rebellion.
The War a Struggle of Aristocracy
Against Democracy.
There are many intelligent southern
1 men who perceive clearly that the ul
timate tendency, of Afriean slavery is
to destroy the freedom , of the white
population wherever it is established.
Col. A. J. Hamilton is one of these.—
Mr. Lorenzo Sherwood, long domicifi
ated in Texas, is another. This gen
tleman, in October last, made at Cham
plain, a speech in which, he not only
showed this to be the inevitable conse
quence of the institution of slavery,
but cited the authority of the slave
holding politicians them Selves, to show
that they both saw the incompatibility
of slavery with a poptdal government,
and desired to hasten the time when
they could restrict political rights to an.
hereditary order of men. Some of the
proofs of this are curious enough. Mr.
Sherwood quoted Mr. Spratt, the note'd
South Carolina Secessionist, in the fol
lowing passage:
"He assumed that 'there was no man
in the South who deserved the name
of statesman who would pretend that
secession was caused by arty aggression
of the North upon the rights of the
South '—that 'it was still less the result
of any act of oppression on the part , of
the United States government '—that
the reason was because of the differ
ence in the non-slaveholding States,
from - the very fact that every man was
a freeman, the North was naturally
democratic every man being a free
man, the result was that the laboring
class in .the non-slaveholding States
had.the power of government, and it
required but little argument to prove,
when that was the ease, 'government,
instead of being in the head, was in
the heels of society.' Mr. Spratt fur
ther assumed that 'no greater truth
was ever uttered than that uttered by
Mr. Seward, when . he 'said, 'there was
an irrepressible conflict between the
two systems of society."'
On the 3d of May, 1861, Mr. It. H.
Garnett, of Virginia, wrote a letter to
William IL Trescott, of South Caoli
na, which was captured not long ago
among other papers on Barnwell's Isl
and, 1)3 , General Haute?. In it he
says :
I must acknowledge., my dear sir,
that I look to the future with almost
as much apprehension avhope. You
well object to the term Democrat.—
Democracy, in its original philosophi
cal sense, is. indeed, ineopputible with
slavery and the whole system of south
,ern - - , .
Mr: Sherwood quotes from a speech
made is tile teksburg Secession Con
vention of ISc,O :
While our pophlation has advan
ced, there - has been no proportionate
advancement in the number of slaves.
The widening West lies made, demand
of slaves upon the older States—the
older States having been compelled to
yield to such exaction. With every
transportation, there was hireling la
bor ready to supply its place : With
hireling labor came the form and spirit
of Democracy. It made its way across
the border—it overspread the States
of Delaware and Maryland—it extend
ed in the States of Kentucky, Missou
ri and Virginia—it entered into south
ern cities—it glided into schools and
pulpits—it crept about the halls of
legislation; and, so it is, that we are
not alone, in the contest with the
North, which bears the banners of
Democracy, but with this Democracy
itself within the states, the cities, and
the institutions of the South.' The
speaker assumed that, if this Democ
racy could not be 01; rid of, the sep
aration from the North would merely
adjourn the contest '— that, 'as this
southern democracy grapples slavery
in its homes, and on its bearth.stones,
slavery was like the Thracian horse
that bore its rider from the field, and
that, escaping enemies abroad, it
would be forced to wage a still more
deadly contest with its enemies at
home,,,
Here is another testimony of the ti,
same sort:
"In an essay written by J. Quitman
Moore, of Mississippi, and published in
the Charleston Mercury, and re-pub
lished in De Bow's Review in 1861, the
author, in revilement of the Democrat
ic
„ principle, says:
Those pestilent and pernicious dog
mas—'the greatest number'—'the ma

upon the importance of resolution and

are engaged.

What Anarchy Is.
The people of these United States
did not dream, previous to the opening
of this rebellion, that practical experi
ence of what anarchy it would ever
fall to them to rdalize. The most of
them may yet escape it, if they will,
or they may bring it on themselves
very soon. When there is no national
authority that can compel obedience,
the result is anarchy. When that
which is in fact the nation is sundered
and fighting, and denying the author
ity under which alone the nation grow
up, the affects of anarchy are felt.—,
They have no national government
now in the rebel States. There is no
law protecting citizens there, and there
will be none even when the power now
in the ascendant gets undisputed con
trol, if it ever shuuld. The authority
under which every citizen lived secure
there is overturned, and there can be
no like authority set up in its place.—
The rebel States do not constitute a
nation. No one can fix their national
boundaries or define their precise in
terests. If revolution set them up
rightfully, how much farther is that
revolution to go before it has done all
its work. Certain oracles of rebel
sympathy here say that Pennsylvania
belongs with the south. In Baltimore,
the secesh claim that Maryland is in
disputably a part of the new confeder
acy. Cox and Vallandigham claim
that the place of Ohio is not with New
England, at least, and that as a pref
erable alternative to remaining in the
Union with the east, that State will
also go with the South.
Now the people ought, without de
lay, to know that all this is a road lea
ding
downward rapidly to universal
anarchy. Those men are anarchists
who shout their enmity to one State
and one section, and who do their ut
most to divide the nation again and
again. They bend all their energies
to destroy so much of the national fab
ric as remains, instead of helping to
crush rebellion and reunite the people.
The misfortune is that we are too in
credulous as to their evil purposes, and
too quiet and confident in the position
we yet have. We believe it impossi
ble for the partisan villany to divide
the south from us, and allowed the
falsehoods by which the people of that
section were embittered to pass almost I
unheeded. The same systematic per- '
version is, now tried on a larger field.
We believe it cannot separate us again,
or so injure the national strength as to
prevent our triumph over the rebellion.
But even it' it cannot, it is well to see
just what the authors of misehief aim
at, and to take warning in time.
General anarchy is what these ma
lignants aim at. That is not govern
ment which leaves us open to- war on
the intangible borders of each State.—
There is no national authority if a
single city is allowed to set up its au
thority against everything else. A
gulf more terrible than imagination
can conceive opens when Pennsylva
nia, fallen under the control of tt dis
loyal faction, seeks her place with the
south, as that faction has declared she
will do. Then our citizens would be
gin to realize the atrocity of the
counsels which these men constantly
put forth, though now they pass almost
unnoticed. There is no immunity
from danger when government is over
thrown. The desolated border of the
rebel States tells a fearful tale of the
retributions which follow the crimes
against the nation. This city might
also bring on itself frightful ruin, and ,
every part of' the rich country we de
light in throughout the State may suf
fer the horrors of intestine war, if ,the
incendiary counselors who advise na
tional disintegration succeed in their
purposes.
Warnings and appeals were made
with earnestness and urgency when
the cotton States first attempted to de
stroy the nation, but they were scouted.
The absence of government was noth
ing to them—they could set up a bet
ter one of their own in a month. It
was, they believed, the easiest thing in
the world to throw off one form of
government and take on another.—
They could begin with South Caroli
na, and on that glorious cornerstone
could erect half the States, as willing
elements of the new empire, and if the
rest were refractory couldeOn quer them
also. They we fa sure of all south of
Pennsylvania, and their partisans here
desired to give them the State, while
Wood held New York in his hand, a
free tender when they were ready to
take her. And so the anarchy began
balf the' Union in ruin
already. - •
The lesson has not been learned by
the loyal States as it shonld have been,
or the power of the faction- calling it
self the Derimeratic party would not
have the license it has. In every one
of the organs of that faction vigorous
and untiring efforts are made to de
stroy something of that which remains
to us. The most necessary of finan
cial measures are, abused and degra
ded to the utmost. The ordinary ad
ministration of the government is char
acterized in a spirit of ceaseless hate
and obloquy. Whatever can bo done
to weaken the nation is done, and not
a word is said to sustain it in its trials.
In so much as they dare, and by every
device that is available, the disintegra
tion and ruin of the nation aro sought.
This is the road to real anarchy, and
the rosults.of anarchy are at hand in
the rebel States to show us what the
end of that fearful path is.

i UNITED STATES CHRISTIAN
COMMISSION.
Speeches of General Scott, Rev. Dr.
Tyng, General Burnside, and Others.
Ncw Yona, Feb. 9.—The Academy
of Music was crowded - to 'overEowing
last evening, on the occasion of the
meeting of the Christian Commission.
Before the commencement of the ex
ercises, the Chairman of the New
York Committee, Mr. Win. E. Dodge,
suggested to those present that it
would much comport with the charac
ter of the occasion if the venerable
General Scott, who was about to take
the chair, should be received by the
audience rising in silence, rather than
by any other demonstration. Almost
instantly, General Scott appeared, and
the audience unanimously complied
with the request.
On taking the chair, General Scott
spoke as follows;
Fellow Citizens—The honor done me,
on this occasion, in calling me to occu
py this chair upon an occasion of so
much importance and worth, gladdens
the heart of an old soldier, and fills
him with gratitude and love. Now
York has sent out her thousands upon
thousands of bravo sons to fight the
battles of our Constitution and Union,
and has not forgotten thorn upon their
fall or upon thee• return home. Ifer
care has been incessant. She has giv
en them every aid, has cared for their
families, watched over the wounded,
sick, lame, and halt, upon their return.
The objects of this Association will be
explained to you by my colleague in
the duties of the chair, more fhlly than
I shall attempt to give upon the occa
sion. %Vith such a cause, that God
will prosper our efforts and give us
triumph, no Christian man can doubt.
Messrs. William E. Dodge, Rev. Dr.
Tyng, and Rev. A. Reed, then made
brief but spirited addresses.
Colonel McKeon and Rev. Mr.GatiSe
also made a few remarks, which exci-
Lea much applause.
General Burnside then spoke as fol
lows :
Ladies and Gentlemen: When I
learned that this meeting was to be
presided over by , one whom I have al
ways,' from boyhood, loved to call my
chief—one whom I have learned to ad
mire—one of the noblest pfitriots and
greatest captains of our land—l deter
mined that I would depart from the
rule which I had laid down for my
self, according to the wishes of some
of my poor friends, by attending hero
this evening, and I promised at the
same time to make Si' few remarks.
Since 1 made that promise, I have
been every night in a railroad car, and
occupied daring the day until this
morning, when I returned here, and
during this entire day I have been by
a sickbed, so that, not being in the
habit of speaking to as large audiences
as this, you must excuse me if I say
but a few words to you. I ant glad
that I came here this evening, because,
first, I hope that I am rendering some
aid to this most Christian Association,
in the great labor of humanity to
wards the soldiers in the field, and I
feel it my duty on all .occasions to do
ail that I have in my power to strength
en the soldiers in the field, with whom
I htwo been so lately - connected in ac
tive service, - No one knows better
than I do the great value of the labors
which are wrought by your Associa
tion, and- no one knows better than' I
do, to-night, all the influence that it has
upon our soldiers; no one knows bet
ter than I do the need that the bands
of this Association should bo strength
ened, and particularly at a time like
the present, when we are in anticipa
tion of peat events in the field. A
few weeks may demonstrate, more es
pecially the need of the labors of your
delegates in the field. Great battles
must almost inevitably he fought
within a few weeks. Large contend
ing forces are in the presence of each
other, and as soon as the elements will
permit them to conic in contact with
each other, it is'not only fair to sup
pose, but it is almost impossible to
avoid a collision. In fact, it is neces
sary that there should be a collision,
and that increases the necessity for
your delegates in the field to be
strengthened by your Association, and
that your Association bo strengthened
by the sympathy and material aid of
the public. lam glad, therefore, that
I have dome here this evening, because
if by my influence—by my words, I
can aid this Association, I shall bo
glad, because in doing that, I strength
en the army in 'the field, and by
strengthening the army in the field in
whatever way, lam doing my duty
and my pleasure—by strengthening
the Government, and doing all in my
power to:sustain it under all circum
stances. rApplausel You may ex
pect me to say a few words in refet'-
ence to the condition of the army with
which I have been so lately identified.
A wrong impression is existing in the
community with reference to that con
dition. Some persons aro impressed
with the idea that that army is in a
demoralized state. That is not the
case. The soldiers are as brave as-ov
er they were. They aro well clothed,
well fed, well. armed, and-as long Its
they are well, are able to take care . of
themselves. Qur officers are becorn--
inif more experienced' every day.—
'gore is no demoralizationin the field,
which the conversation; in the street
and in private circles would Indicate.
There is not that tdherence to my spe
dial principle, to, any special sot of
Men, 9,r laws, or parties, among 'the
soldiers, as 4cone people - indicatu. ! ---
They remember and , appreciate, and

I think, at the same time, we should
entertain opinions with reference •to
the policy of the Government. It is
our duty to be temperate in our • ex
pressions, and use all the powers that
we have within the limits of the Con
stitution to do our 'duty tti the govern
ment as it now J 5 .We are, fighting,
against the people of the South

ly because they did not want to live
under a President -elected in accord

ment, of worse, of attempting to force
the Government of the - United:Stags
to give up what the Constitution gives
it the right to do.
The President of the' United States
has a right to maintain • such people

at the end - of- four years they tan
