The following appeared in the Moni tor of July 2d : " attempt - bas been, made to cre ate the impression that the•soldiers of the 125th Regiment, indignant at the course of the Monitor, sought to ap pease their patriotism in the destruc tion of the office. But the parties who have studiously circulated this story, know, or ought to know, THAT IT IS A BASE PALSEHOOD. The soldiers of this regiment had NO PART in this coward ly outrage, and condemned its perpe trators,in the severest terms." What `rbliance can be placed in a sliebt to' - deceive its reriders . as to the party guilty of de stroying the Monitor office edi tors of that sheet knew • at the time they published the article of wffich the above is in extract,,,that,the soldiers only were the guilty party, but they did apt want such a fact to be general ly known, for fear it might spoil their calculations. No, they wanted to make those of their readers living out of town believe that a number of our citizens, civilians, destroyed the office. What was the evidence ? Owen, ono of the. editors, 13risbin, the foreman, and Wm. Colon, and others, all swore that the only persons engaged in de stroying the office were soldiers. And the only persons convicted, and now in jail, were members of the 125th regi ment. -, - STEPILLN But they attempt to justify the lan guage of the above extract, by assert ing that although the men who de stroyed the office wore the uniform of the 125th, and were members thereof; still they were not soldiers, that they were " the men who ran whenever a foe appeared, and who are loudest in their professions of heroism when daliger is far thest from them." This is again adding insult to injury, and unless the editors, who never smelt powder, or saw an enemy in their front, can prove that all the soldiers they made oath against are of the, character they have taken the liberty of attempting to give them, they stand guilty of publishing a slan der against the men, and cannot com plain if tho boys " " book them" as their. meanest and most cowardly ene mies. Governor Curtin deiivered a telling speech, at Lancaster, on Monday night. lie said, in substance, that be was the representittive of principles that lie at the very -foundation of this Govern ment. This was no time to quarrel about men ; while we may not like certain men or measures, We must look the issue square in the face. Penn sylvania was the foremost State in the Revolution, and when the Revolution ary War was closed with the freedom of this cowntry, it was to Pennsylva nia that the statesmen of the country caineL--from the east and the west, the north and the south—they came to •Pennsylvania and formed this Govern ment. Again, during this war of 1312, ten days after the British had burnt Washington, -Pennsylvania snit 10,- 000, to, the-ireseite, ; Never has Penn sylvania-, faltered in her loyalty-. lle was in favor of appropriating the last dollCrto crush , the rebellion, and be that if • 250,000 fresh men were now ready to be placed ,in the field there would be, no more pitched battles. Those in rebellion could stop this war ifY one hour by laying down their arms and coming back to' the 'Government. The honorable speaker denounced bit terly•France'and England—especially thehitter—for the aid they have giv en the rebels. The rebellion was kept up by foreign supplies, the rebels fur nishing but - per, deluded men to be slaughtered. And why was this done by foreign nations? Because they envied the growing power of this country. After this war was over, we would have a long account to set tle with England, and we would settle it. When we are once more a united people, when The old flag waves in tri umph throughout the land, we would be able to whip the whole world com bined.' Pennsylvania has contributed 203,- 000 men to tLe National army, 'vho are the bravest of her population, yet these men- were disfranchised by a mire phrase, a lawyer's quibble. He alluded ,to his,message Co the last Le gislature in regard to altering the Con stitution so - as to allow the soldiers the privilege 'of voting.

Colon, Sohn S. Mil ler, and Others, aro in tho party hav ing a hand in the speculation. As soon as an investigation takes place our readers shall have the facts. "CALL No ??lAN LOYAL," said Gen'. Rousseau, in his recent speech in Phil adelphia, "who stands between the Government and the suppression of the rebellion." General Rousseau is a soldier in the army—a representative of slave-holding Kentucky—one who has proved his patriotism upon every great battle-field in the Southwest.— We need no better or more distinguish ed authority or counsel. The test which he offers every honest man will accept. "In this war," said Douglas, there can be but two parties, ono for the GoVernment, and ono against it," friends or foeg. This truth the loyal ists of the Sotith are constantly teach ing to the disloyalists of the North.— If the patriots of ,East Tennessee, the people of North Carolina, and Louisia na, such patriots in the South as Ex- Governor Aiken,•Rousseau, Johnson, and a score of others wo might name, are not yet convinced that secession is right, and our governefent is a wrong and an oppression, how shall wo be taught by our enemies in the North that it is unconstitutional to defend ourselves—that we should not put down rebellion by every means in our power? Can Wood, Seymour and Woodward make us believe thut Rous seau is wrong? Yet Rousseau, and the great army of the West, who make the same uncompromising test of loy alty, would be called, we presume, by our constitutional disloyalists, "min ions of the administration," and "loy ers of the negro." THE Northern traitors, the leaders of the so called Democratic organiza tion, are opposed to reinforcing the army for fear the war will be brought to a close, and the soldiers get home to vote at the next Presidential election. They know ho•w nine-tenths of the sol diers Will vote when they get home, and therefore they will make every effort to prolong the war until after the election in '64. They would rather succeed with their political rascalities than that the rebellion should be sup pressed, and the country again enjoy that peace so anxiously desired by millions of our loyal people. The Val landighamites, the Seymourites, and Hughosites, and their blind' followers, are responsible for the commencement and the continuation of the war. " the author of a communi cation published in the Globe in Juno last, writes us that his statements as to the conduct of Potrikin and Speer, the two speakers at the meetings at Shade Chip and Orbisonia, were made on information received from persons present at the meetings—that he be lieves the speakers were wronged by the statements in sercThr - partieulars. The objectionable" particulars" iu the communication we suppose were, that the traveling bar of the young men run out too soon, and that Bruce lost his hat. If they bad no traveling bar with them, and Bruce did not lose his hat, it is right they should demand Of " a retraction of such offensive statements: - • • The Presbyterian 73anner, wholly un partizan in :its. character, speaks of the renomination in these decided terms : " Goyurnor Curtin is now a tried man. He has proved himself to be adequate to the demands of the times, truly a patriot, most prompt and energetic in the raising of forces for the war, con servative of Pennsylvania's best inter ests, fearless in the discharge, of his duty, and untiring in his industry. Those who would urge the war effici ently, to the preservation of the Union and the enforcement of the Laws, have good reason to confide in Govern or Carlin. —The - Harrisburg Telegraph says : "our nominee for Governor, to become successful, must have every Republi can and every loyal Democratic vote in the Commonwealth. Nor is it for us to dictate a mode of action to those loyal Democrats who have espoused the principle for which we contend." It is undoubtedly true that there are -a very largo number of loyal Democrats in Pennsylvania, as there are in other States—men who have sacrificed old party associations, who have severed social ties, who have renounced politi cal obligations, that they might be un trammelled in a contest in which the Union and tho Constitution aro the all-absorbing issues involved. Such men aro worthy of all honor and con sideration, for they cannot prove re creant to the voice of duty. To show what loyal •Marylanders think of Governor Curtin, we take the follbwing from the Hagerstown Her aid: Few mon would or could have done for Pennsylvania what Gov. Cur tin has in' these trying times; and, feeling as , Marylanders,''and' citizens of the old county in ; Maryland' 'which hae materially- suffered from the rebel invasion, that our perils were identi fied 'with those of our neighbors across t o, tam ou le id nom those per ;Nth° Berne, ova ehbuld he wanthig in gratitude were we to withhold this poor mood of praise from One who so richly deserves it." Words like these are entitled to much weight. GRAND SKEDADDLE.—TLIO day after the draft was made in this county, the miners on Broad Top hearing they were drafted made themsdlves scarce, by striking out in every direction; from present appeetraneds we do not think many from that Part of the coun try will report to the Provost Mar shal, IMPORTANT.—Any drafted person paying $3OO, under section 13 of the Enrolment act, is thereby exempt from furthoi liability under that draft, but not from any subsequent draft. Any drafted person furnishing an acceptable substitute is exempt from military service for the period for which said substitute is mustered into IMMO A substitute, once mustered into service, cannot be drafted while in sor- 13121 AN:OTIIER : EDITOR. DEAD.—Samuel - APElhose, editor of the Jefferson Star, died in camp near Pittsburg, On the 17th inst., having suspended his paper and jbinod the troops called out du ring the recent emergency. Ms body was taken home for interment. De ceased had for several years accepta bly and creditably filled the office of County Superintendent of Common Schools of Jefferson county, and bad been connected with the Star ever since its foundation. Mr. APElhose, previous to establishing the Star, was a citizen of this place. —Speaking of Governor Curtin's re nomination, the Meadville Reputlican observes that this mark of confidence was due to him, and is a well deserved reward for the untiring energy with which he has devoted himself to the welfare of the State and nation in these perilous times. Iris assiduous labors, moreover, in behalf of the soldiers who have gone from this State give assu rance that their interests will not suf fer in the future, and is in striking contrast with the conduct of Judge Woodward, the Democratic candidate, who approves of tho decision of the Supreme Court of this State ! , refusing to the soldier the privilege of saying by their votes how the affairs of the country shall be managed. —Let it be remembered that this wicked rebellion would have been crushed out at least eighteen months ago, and neither the first. or second draft would have been necessary, if it had not been for the aid given to the rebels by their Northern sympathisers and supporters. Those who are now most loud in denunciation of the con scription are alone responsible for its enactment. The conscription law is an effect,,not a cause. —The prolongation of the war for the last eighteen months has sacrifi : cod at least two hundred thousand lives, created an additional debt of about eight hundred millions of dollars, and filled the land with widows and orphans. Recollect that the war would not have been thus prolonged, but for the aid and comfort furnished the rebels by their northern allies. KILLED.—Last Friday morning a miner was killod in R. 11. Powasmine at Minersvillo, while at work in his room, not having the work properly secured the top fell upon him, killing him instantly. . R. Milton Speer, David Caldwell and J. Simpson Africa,, three of the editors of the Monitor, are among the' lucky 'ones who drew position as high pri vates in the Union army. They will certainly not refuse to face the Music, and leave all the fighting .to be done by the poor men: OUR young friend Rev. R A. Miller gave.us a call yesterday. We were pleased to see him look so 'well. Ho is now travelling the Concord Circuit. Rail .Road Accident.—On last Thurs day, a freight train on Broad Top was considerably damaged by ,running over a cow above Pleasant Grove; at the same time, the repair hands had the track torn up on one of the trestles above Cove. Station, being under the impression that no train would bo along until it would be re-laid. The passenger train came thundering along and ran off the track, and narrowly escaped running over the' work—the locomotive was within a few inches of the edge of the ties. - A Curiosity.—Mr. Elisha Porter, on Stone Creek, loft with us on Monday, a hen egg, with blue stripes,just as it was found in the nest. We are not surprised that our old friend's hens should give evidence of being strong for the Union, for we doubt whether anything could live on his premises not decidedly opposed to traitors. Manonoth Blackberries.—We neglec ted to notide, some two,. or three weeks ,ago, some speciniens of this ber ry left at our office by Mr. Theo: II- Cromer. They Were the ° largest we over saw. Wo suppose ~Mr. Q. will have t few plants,. for sale:, They should be in every garden not' already erowded with otlior plants. The Kentucky Election. ComiNNATI, Aug. 21.—Returns from all but nine . counties -in Kentucky, give Bramlotto, Union candidate for Governor, over 50,000 majority. THE bogus Demociatic papers de nounce Burnside for interfering in the election for Governor in Kentucky.• It must be remembered that the only can didate in opposition to the Union can didate was Wickliffe, an out-and-out Secessionist. Some Demoorats (1) have a very queer way of showing their Union feelings. THERE will be , preaching in the Ger man Reformed Church . on next Sun day at 101 o'clock. Girard House, Philadelphia. For clearrlinees and good faro, we can safely recommend the GIRARD Tfousn, of Philadelphia, as being an : surpassed by any house in tho country. •Tho homelike feeling enjOyed in this establishment, by those who like po lite, unobtrusive attention, must be appreciated. We feel confident that any one wlm has sojourned at the GIRARD, will as cheerfully and honestly recommend it to the public as we do. Co,. Lawrence's regiment of three months' militia were mustered out at Harrisburg, and returned home on Wednesday evening last. We find in the Northern States man, published atTaribault, ta, a letter from the MM. H. M. Rice, addressed to some citizens of that place, defining what his position is, and what that of all Democrats ought to be on the war question. We make the following extract : "!ne thought of acting with any other than the Democratic party nev er entered my head. The whole ob jeet of the rebellion is to destroy the principle of Democracy. The party which stands by the Government is the true Democracy. Every soldier in the army is a true Democrat. Every man who lifts his head above party trammels is a Democrat, and every man who permits old issues to stand in the way of a vigorous prosecution of the war cannot, in my opinion,have any claims on the party. If the city was on fire would you call.on any par ticular party to extinguish the flames ? or would you stop to examine its cha racter, for fear that you might violate some of its provisions by taking wa ter from your neighbors' wells? " Should disaster befall our country in the struggle for life, true Democrats cannot be blamed. Those who have the power and do not use it to the ful lest extent, and those who are waiting their time and distracting the people by the idle discussions, occupy no en viable position hereafter, Union or no Union. "I am for regaining and retaining every foot of soil we over possessed, without any compromise whatever." Senator Harris on Patriotism. At the 40th Annual meeting of the American English Missionary Union, lately held at Cleveland, Ohio, the Hon. Ira Harris, U. S. Senator from New York, the President of the Soci ety, opened the proceedings in an ad dress, in the course of which he spoke as follows : Certain I am that the hand of God is in this struggle. ' His people should not be slow to recognize it. I rejoice that my own brethren have not thought it necessary, in their great convocations, tb smother their patriot ism. The action of this body at its last annual meeting in reference to the stupendous crisis 'through which our nation is passing, gave mo the most profound satisfaction. The sentiments then adopted, admirable for the nerve and vigor with width they were ex pressed, were dictated by the most el evated patriotism. How true it is, as was then asserted, that the progress of civilization, of Freedom, of Christi anity throughout the worth; aro all in: volved in the present war. Onifathers, when they gave us our present form of Government, left in it what they had found—a most mischie vous and demoralizing element. They not only left it, but they protected it with constitutional guaranties. Sla very is in its very nature opposed to freedom, alwayg greedy of power and impatient of restraint, not content with the protection thrown around. it by the Constitution, demanded the right of unlimited expansion. It claimed to be recognized among the foundation principls of the Government. Because these claims were resisted, it rebelled. It commenced its en croachments in our religious associa tions. This venerable body was rent in twain by its imperious exactions.— At length, having deliberately pre pared itself for the fearful issue, it has attempted the disruption of the Gov ernment itself. So long as it kept itself within the limits contemplated by the framers of the Constitution, so long it was enti tled to protection. The National Go vernment had no right to interfere with it. But now, by its own act, this impediment has been removed. Sla very has rebelled. It has committed treason, the great crime of Crimes, the "unpardonable sin."' It has become an outlaw, and, like other ielona, it must be fettered and bound. As a po litical power it, must be annihilated, and' forever. There is now no alterna tive. There can be no more negotia tion, no more diplomacy, no more com promise, no more Peace Conventions, no more delusive expedients. Each party has inscribed its principles upon its banner, and the bloody contest must go on until the slave power is subdued or our country is overthrown. At such a time and in such a crisis there can be no neutrality. Ile that is not ihr his country is• against it.— And it becomes every patriot, and most of all every Christian patriot, to 'bring, borne to himself more closely his obligations to his country, that .the spirit eftho naticri may bo quickened, that its self-devotion may be strength ened, audits energies more thoroughly aroused. Notwithstanding the intensity of the conflict, and the forebodings of fearful hearts, I have never doubted as to the issue. My confidence is still un shaken. God has great purposes yet to accomplish through the instrumen tality of this nation, and Ho will not be disappointed. Our country, emerg ing from the cloud which now envel ops it, into a clearer sky, purified and more firmly united and compacted to gether by the fearful ordeal through which it has passed, will rise to a higher, nobler career among the na tions of the earthcand under a Heav enly guidance move on to. the accom plishment of its holy destiny. PRICE OV GOLD IN GEOROTA.—The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist says : , ;The' Savannah Republican says that one day last week four hundred dol lars was paid by an individual in that city for a twenty dollar gold piece. The man who sold it done (sic) well as a speculation; but what could any one want with gold at such a price? Here is a screw loose that • ought to be looked after." . LATEST NEWS. Good News from Charleston Fort Sumter being Knocked to Pieces— The Fire Replied to at very long inter vals—The Parrots too much for Sum ter—Despair of being able to hold the City. 7 -Non-combatants urged to, leave, NORFOLK, August 2lst.—The Richmond Whig, of to-day, has the following : OLIARLESTON, Thursday, August 20. —The enemy's operations, during „tile last twenty four Hours have been most ly confined to ti steady and'contintious bombardment of Fort Sumpter from their Parrot guns on Morris Island. The fire begins to tell on Fort Sumter,, which replies only at long intervals. . The defence of the harbor dOes not depend mainly upon Sumter. Even if that fortress should be battered down, the harbor may be held. . Governor Bonham has issued a pro clamation, urging the removal of all non-combatants, from the city of Charles ton, as soon as possible. The 200 pound Parrot guns of the enemy are too much for the walls of Sum ter, and the fort only replies at inter vals. It has been determined -to de fend the city street by street, house by house, as long as a foot of earth is left. Still Later from Charleston. FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. 23.—The steamer Maple Leaf arrived this morn ing from Charleston, and reports leav ing ~ , Stono Inlet last Thursday, at which time the guns of Sumter were silenced, and several breeches had been made in its walls. No doubt existed that the rebels would soon surrender Sumter. At the same Limo the Monitors were close under the .walls of Fort Wagner, and by the aid of, our sharpshooters had nearly silenced the grins of the enemy. FROM GENERAL MEADE'S ARMY Cavalry Reconnoissance to Culpepper.— No Rebel Troops Found There7—Pro bable Retreat of Lee's Army toward Richmond. WASHINGTON, August 21.—Informa- Lion is current here that Lee's army has been moving off from our front up on the Virginia Central Railroad to Richm9nd; but'offiecrs arriving here to-night, whose position in the army entitles them to know what is going on, assert that no such intelligence is in the possession of our commanding generals. Lee is undoubtedly upon the Rapidan and Rappahannock. His pickets are extended from the - Upper Rappahan nock along that giver to Fredericks burg, and the region about Potomac creek is infested with rebel cavalry. Everything indicates that the ene my intends Co remain in his present locality, unless our own movements should necessitate a change of base; and it is not improbable that the next battle may be fought upon that river. Indeed,-it is apprehended that Lea will assume the 'offensive rather than re treat, and many expect an attack from hini at an ' early date. Preparations for such an emergency are now being made. IMPORTANT FROM KANSAS, A Bade by Eight Hundred Guerillas under Quantrell.—The Town of Law rence Sacked and Burned—Probable Capture of General Lane. LEAVENWORTH, Friday, August 21. —About six o'clock last evening, the" rebel guerilla °Hid Quantrell,-with a force 800 strong', crossed the Missoruri river into Kansas, near the town of Gardner, 00 miles below hero, and im mediately started for Lawrence, arri ving before the town at four o'clock this morning. Quantrel posted a guard around the town, so that the citizens could not escape, and with the remain der of his men commenced pillaging' stores, shooting citizens, and firing houses. A gentleman, who managed to es cape and secreted himself in a corn field near tho town, reports, that he swam the river at eight o'clock, and on reaching the bluffs this side, bad a plain view of the town, which was then a sheet of flames. From what he saw he thinks the loss had reached ten millions, and by this time, perhaps• much more, as the rebels seemed de termined to destroy everything that would burn. .We cannot learn •that any resistance was made, as the citizens were taken by surprise, the first alarm being the crackling of the flames and the yells of the rebel incendiaries: James Fl. Lane was in the city, and it is feared that be has fallen into the hands of the rebels, as escape through their linos was almost impossible. A. 'large number of Union troops Napo been ,serit'in pursuit of the gut- ilhis but' with, 'Whitt' sueeeSs is not known. • - Mayor 'Anthony; OrthiS city, has is sued a, proclamation stating, that. the ,people of Leav,enworth need not ap prehend any trouble, ,but requesting evCry'able-bodied citizen to provide himself with the best arms ho can, and bold ,himself in readiness to aid our friend's in any part of the State at a moment's notice. He censures the General commanding this district, (General Ewing,) who, he says, with 5,000 troops under his command, has allowed a few hundred guerillas to get fifty miles into the interior, burn a city, and destroy ten millions' worth of property; and he intimates that . the citizens must depend on themselves for the defense of the city and State. 14 ITER LE4VENIVORTII, August 22.

Twerity.five negro re cruits were shot by the guerillas ; who took all the money that cOuldAni found in the pockets of the citizens or in hou ses, and stole the ladies' jewelry, even to the rings on their fingerS. Jim Lane. escaped on horseback, rallied about two hundred men with arms, followed and overtook Quantrell twelve miles south of Lawrence, when a fight occurred, the result of which is unknown.
