Read it, —We mean the speech of Hon. We. H. AVitte, delivered (it the great Demo cratic meeting recently held in Philadelphia. IThis speech will be found.on our first page, andsbould.be read and pondered by every loyal man. Mr. AV. is one of the ablest men in the State, and,is without a rival as a po litical speaker. Read his speech, wo repeat, one and all. A"olunteerinq.—Tue Draft. —‘There has been a recruiting station opened in this bor ough for the. purpose of enlisting men for the “ Buoktail Brigade.” It is under the control of Messrs. Platt and AY. D. A. Naugle, both citizens of this county. Lieut. E. Beatty, assisted by Sergeant Holmes, is recruiting for company A, 7th regiment, P, It. In ad dition to these, other persons, in different sec l tions of the county, are endeavoring' to raise volunteers. Daily, the martial notes of the " spirit-stirring drum and the -car-piercing fife’t may be hoard in our streets, neverthe less volunteering appears to ‘‘ drag its slow length along,” and but few recruits can bo obtained. The truth is; the repeated exten sions of the draft have induced many persons to believe that it would not bo resorted to at all, and that the object of the enrollment was merely to add an impetus to. volunteering.— Those, however, who, either through coward ice or lack of patriotism, refusd to volunteer need not “ lay that flattering unction to their souls.” A draft will take place, and that speedily; It has only boon extended in order that the necessary papers, forms, blanks, &c., may be prepared. Therefore, wo advise all who wish to avoid being drafted, to volunteer at once. A Visit to “ Camp Alabama. ’V-Wo re cently made a short visit to the camp of the "Anderson Body Guard," at Carlisle,Bar racks, and were much pleased with the ap pearance and conduct of the men and the neat arrangements of the camp. There are now between six and seven hundred men in camp, and squads are arriving in almost eve ry train. The men are mostly from Phila delphia, although wo believe every county in the State will be fully represented, our neigh boring county of Adams having already fur nished some thirty men to fill up the ranks of the squadron. The recruits now hero are a. hardy and intellectual body of men, acquire the drill readily, and when occasion requires, they will show, the metal thoy nro made of, and cover themselves and their native State ■with honor and glory. Lieut. Spencer an ori ginal member of the first troop, is now super intending their organization into companies. Although the squadron is called the “An derson Body Guard," it will not as the body guard of Gen. Buell, whoso command in cludes the State of Alabama, and whore they expect to see hard service. 11 is owing to this we presume, that their rendez vous is called “Camp Alabama," which, in the language of the aboriginios of the South,, means, “Hers we Rest." DO THEY WANT ANARCHYf Tho Abolition wipg of tho Republican par ty appear to be anxious for nnarpby in this country. At all trraba and on all occasions they use language well calculated, if not in tended, to oxaefiernfo, irritate and make furi ous their felloW-men. No falsehood is too infamous 'for them to utter—no wickedness too monstrous to inculcate. • At this time when all should endeavor to avoid oxoitqmont, and cultivate a good and harmonious fooling, wo find these disturbers of tho peace—those ra ging and unprincipled demagoguos-soizo hold of tho occasion to ventilate their treasonable' sentiments, and without rhyme or reason de nounce, in language at once outrageous and false, every man who refuses to endorse their, political dogmas and their villainies. A few days since, that miserable man, Senator Sum ner, in a public speech, advised, his political friends to put their “ heels” upon those who differed from them and who dare to speak out! And more recently, in a harangue delivered ■at a war mooting by John W. Forney, ho in timated, in language not to be misunderstood, that tho Democrats must bo defeated, even if violence had to bo resorted to on the day of tho, oloetion; and ho hinted, too, that it would gratify hiin to see his former benefactor, Bx- Prosident Buchanan, assassinated 1' , Nay, more, as if ho feared that this God-defying lan. guago was not strong enough and infamous enough to craze and make stark-mad a largo portion of thoso he addressed, ho anathema tized the Democratic party, by.deblraing it a party of traitors and secessionists, who wore in loaguo with Jeff Davis for the overthrow of tho Government 1 ■ Now, this kind of denunciation hy tho load ing men of the llopublican party, and which is re-echoed and the dirty little whelps and senseless scribblers throughout ■ tho country, is almost beyond, endurance.— > But, Democrats of Pennsylvania,we conjure you, as you love your country, its Constitu tion and laws, not to hood the words of the. bold bad men who nowassail you with thej vindictive fury of unchained devils. Treat their lies, their scoffs and thoir.insolonoo with ! proud and silent contempt, and stand by yoiir principles and your Government until time with you shall bo no more; Your reckless assailants have an object in view in making these attacks upon you.; they desire to attract tho attention of the people for their mis-deeds and villainies, by tho cry of “wolf I—wolfl .—traitor! : —traitor 1” They know and they feel that they, have been guilty of acts that should consign them to the penitentiary for life; and, rather than bo choked off the pub lic teat they have so long and persistently. ■ tugged at, they, desire anarchy, confusion and blood. Notwithstanding Mr. Dawes, (a Re publican member of Congress,) asserts it as his belief, founded on evidence and investi gation, that those very culprits who are rec ommending violence, robbed the Government, in'less .than one year, of some throe hun dred .millions of dollars, they are still unsat isfied, and like young robins,'.open wide their mouths for more. IV hot a farce it was in them—what cool presumption and, unblushing impudence, in these wretched political gam blers, to boldly .assemble, in broad day-light, at our State, Capitol recently, and place be fore tiie people two of their pliant tools to be voted for.for high and responsible positions. After tho depredations these men had com-, mittod upon the people’s treasury, and after their treason against the. Union had been ex posed, it was reasonable to suppose they would hide themselves (for a time at least,) from the gaze of a.n indignant and outraged people.— But no —their success in. villainy has only made them more bold and reckless, and, with unblushing front, they ask the people to en dorse their infamous party, blistered, foster ing, and rotten ns it is with corruption and treason. Democrats! Union men I you have a duty to perform. Discharge it at ' all hazards,— First and foremost, lend your efforts, your means and your influence to put down, with crushing force, the rebellion that is desola ting our land ; and then, on the.second Tues day of October, march to the. ballot-box, and, unawod by the throats and menaces "of vaga bond thieves and disturbers of the peace, de posit your voles as your judgement dictates. ' . The Republicans ofthis county assembled in. County Convention,.in Rheem’s Hall, this borough,'on Monday. The Abolition element strongly predominated, and the ticket is com posed of the same stripe of politicians, viz;. ■ Assembly— Henry Snyder, Newton., Commissioner —David Rhoads, Carlisle. . Director of the Door —ll. B. Iloch, South ampton. ■ , . ■ District Attorney —J. M. AYeakly, Carlisle. 'Surveyor —George Swartz. Auditor —Daniel Morss. Coroner —Jacob Rheem, Carlisle. Congressional Conferees, without instruc tions, wore appointed. The Senatorial Con ferees were instructed for John T. Green, of Penn township. The candidates are all respectable gentle men, against whom, personally, we are not disposed to say a word. Their political re cord, however, will not boar close inspection. They belong to a party -which has never done the country good, and which constantly breeds evil. It behooves the people—especially those “who have something to lose”—to defeat them at the ballot box. A bleeding country demands the defeat of the Republican candi dates this fall, from the highest to the lowest office. Casualties to Carlisle. —lt will be some, time before wo got a complete list of the killed and wounded in the late four days struggle around Manassas. The slaughter on both sides has been frightful. We judge there wore not a great many Cumberland county men engaged in these fights, as but few of them belong to Pope’s Division. The only casualties happening to our immediate citi zens, that wo have heard, are— Capt. John Smead, regular army, killed. Lieut. Col. Robert M. Henderson, 7th Pa. Reserves, wounded severely, but not mor tally. W. Walton, Company A, hand; Agus tus Sites, Company A, - head; T. Conway, Company A, leg; John Vansant, Company A, side, Eleventh Pennsylvania Reserves, all of Carlisle. - Wo have vague reports about accidents to others, but in the absonco of reliable infor mation, wo refrain from alluding to them at present. President Lincoln’s licplj to Horace (fteeley. Our readers are aware that Horace Gree ley and his Tribune occupy tho first palco in the ranks of the abolitionists ia tho tTnitcd Slates. They are nothing- but abolition, fur nishing material and radicalism for all tho smaller concerns of tho same persuasion throughout' tho country, Fifteen years tigo this Tribune started a crusade against the South, which it has continued ever since. Then it was almost alone in its extreme opin ions ; now it ia followed by a host of rostjess and uncompromising fanatics. Tho great peculiarity of this set of restless partisans is that they never learn nor forgot. Fifteen years ago Greeley inculcated tho doctrine that slavery in the'South was anxious to free itself and put down its masters. At tho opening of the rebellion it and its echoes demanded an act 6f -emancipation by Our gov ernment, declaring that such an enactment, would speedily crush, the rebels. Acts Of emancipation and confiscation have bettn I passed; and the rebels given but sixty days to lay. down, their arms, but these acts have , produced no more effect than so much blank paper. Nothwithstanding this experience, these Abolition agitators are ns persistent as ever in their demands for similar proceedings. A noisy proclamation from tho President is now demanded, jgiving immediate freedom to all tho slaves in the South, which proela-: motion would only have the effect of destroy ing what Union feeling there still remains in that section. It looks very much as if Gree ley and his set wore determined to destroy every particle of affection for the old flag and Union which may bo scattered in the South ern States. The President , implores , these regular agitators to desist and help him in’ his own way to restore' the Unionbut, in stead of this, they grow more noisy, insulting, and bxaotiug. It seems, however, that the President has taken his stand, and is not likely .to bo moved by the bowlings of his pursuers. The ,other day, as we informed our readers, Greeley addressed an impertinent tetter to the President, in the name “ twenty millions 1 of people,” in which he demanded the issuing of such a proclamation as that to which we have alluded. By the President’s reply to the lettor of Greeley it will be seen that he takes the high ground that his first and only object in pursuing tho war against the rebels is for the restoration of tho Union, regardless of slavery and everything else. In a word, the difference, between tho radical Abolitionists and the President, in this strug gle, .is that tho former are simply for the des truotion of Slavery, while.the President and all good men are for the restoration of tho Union, £®“Tre have bad nows from Minnesota.— The Indians bavo commenced hostilities and are driving the inhabitants into tho towns.— Hon. J. R; Cleveland writes, on tho. 21st, from Mandota, “that he stayed at Now Ulm oh the previous nigh and saw most horrible sights. In one instance eight bodies of stal wart men, with thqir throats cut from oar to oar, tho skulls battered and their limbs mu tilated. He knew .some of them and they were all good citizens. His opinion is that hot loss than five hundred have been massa cred. A large portion of that section of tho State has been depopulated, and the wheat loft unstaoked in the fields, tho owners flying eastward for safety.” Arrested and Discharged. —A few days since Charles Ingbrsoll made a speech be fore a Democratic mooting in Philadelphia, in which he said, among other things, that the corruptions of the present administration exceeded in enormity anything that had over been exposed in this or any other country.— Por this declaration ho was arrested. AVo learn, however, from the Philadelphia Bulle. tin of Monday, that Mr. I. Was discharged from custody by an order received from Sec retary Stanton, .before ho had a hearing un der the writ of hebeas corpus, flp ends an other farco>f the “Reign of Terror” party. Arrest in Juniata County. —The Juniata Register says two .men, John Shuman, and Henry Millin of Juniata county, were ar rested and taken to AYashington on Monday last.' The editor of the Sentinel was taking tho"onroljment; ho had taken the names and given, the men their notice. Shuman then being on bad terms on account of a personal attack made upon him by the Sentinel, or dered him from the house. His business was done, but ho said ho would leave when he pleased. The woman then drove him out with the broom, and the two men have since been arrested. 1 About Drafting— Timely Caution— .AYe desire to state, for the benefit of all concern ed; that any attempt to interfere with or in timidate the Deputy Marshals in making the enrollment will bo punished by the most se vere penalties, and that they have power to immediately; arrest' such offenders. The heads of families are required. to give the names of nil male members of their household between the ages of 18 and 45 years, and to answer promptly and truthfully all questions that may bo asked. Tiie Constitutional . Union. —This able and spirited Democratic paper, published at Philadelphia, is to be issued daily from and after the Ist day of September, at $4 per an num, payable in advance. Such a paper is needed, in these times of high-handed at tempts to suppress free discussion, and crush a free press; and we therefore hope it may be liberally supported. IC7'‘'Uiiarles Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, has boon arrested for criticising the conduct of the war, in a public speech. Wendell Phillips has been—allowed to run at largo, for the same offence. The first is a Demo crat, the other an Abolitionist. BSS“ Advertising, says an exchange, has enlarged many a small business; has revived many a dull business ; has rescued many a lost business; has saved many a failing busi ness j has preserved many a largo business; has created many a new business; and en sures success in any business. O* The ladies of the borough woro very busy on Sunday night in making lint and banda ges, to bo forwarded for. the use of the wound ed soldiers. All honor to those ministering 1 angels. BIT” Fine weather, at present.- Timely ami Truthful, /Wo copy the following brief-but'pjtftinont , artiole.frdin a rooont number of tho New Yotk Herald, ■■ The doctrines contained in tho par agraph wore, ton years ago, tho doctrines of the then Whig party, and woro advocated with as much r.oal by that party as they are now by tho conservatives of tho country.— Bat, with tho change of name, that party-lias also changed many of its cardinal principles, and instead of contending, ns of old, for tho "integrity of the Constitution and tho supre macy of tho Laws,” they are now tho aiders arid abettors of such men as Sumner, Halo, Wilmot, Loyejoy, and Wade, in trampling upon that Constitution and sfcttingthoso laws, at defiance. When a man 'or a party com mences to tread the downward road to infamy,. the descent is rapid and irretrievable. Hero is tho extract to which wo refer': Wo havh ho objection to the emancipation of all the negroes in tho land ; but let it bo done by the people of the States themselves. The federal government has not the power. It must bo admitted, however, that the ne groes nro practically as little enslaved at the South as at. the North, while they are far more happy, and contented with their lot there than here, and have a lien upon tho land for their.support in sickness and old'ago, 1 which is more than can bo said of the white laborer of the North. The negro population are a vast benefit to tho Southern States, and to tho whole country, under the patriarchal : institution. To colonize thorn would ha to ro ' move so tuubh productive labor from tho coun try without a chance to, replace it, and to saddle the nation with, a vast interest-paying debt, incurredhy the just payment of com pensation to thO owners of tiro slaves; while, instead Of the condition of the negroes being' bettered,' they would soon fall hack to their original barbarism, as they are doing in Hay iti and Jamaica. But slavery is asserted to ho the cause of the war, and therefore it must he abolished-. Slavery is not the cause of the war, fot it has existed in the country for ten generations, "Why did it not produce , war during that long period ? -It is not negro sla very, therefore, but the attempt of the aboli tionists to meddle with it, that has caused the civil conflict t(iat is now,desolating .the. land. ■For the last thirty years they have agitated the country* and thoir agitation lias culmina ted in a terrible civil convulsion. The abo litionists have caused tho war and they are now interfering with its success, hy intensi fying the rebellion,- on the one'hand, by their attitude against slavery; while, on the other hand, they represent the war as hopeless and thus discourage enlistments and damp the ar : dor of the nation. It is the duty of the gov ernment to. arrest their revolutionary career before it is too late. A ■ Cn auACTEaiStic Adbkess. —Forney’s Press of Wednesday comes to Us tvith the “ Address of the Union State Central Com mittee to the loyal menof Pennsylvania-.”— We have looked over this precious piece of insolence and falsehood, and find it merely a reproduction of Occasional’s slang about “true men” and false ones, in which Forney has boon indulging for the past six months. This, address is simply-a repetition of Occasional’s falsehoods. It hasn’t the merit of being well gotten up, .for. Forney is-palpably visible in every line indeed ho doesn’t attempt to dis guise, himself, for the whole thing appears in tattered and; filthy garments, which tho b’og-. gar, Occasional, has east aside; The address is simply a charge of disloyalty against every citizen who will not follow .in the wake oFsuuh satWatcd corruptions asFor ney himself We rdgrcl'oxeecdingly. to see that Cyrus P. Markle, Esq., has permitted- his name to be used oa chairman oi the committee which pro duces this oohtemptiblo production. It does well enough, perhaps, for a political brigand, » llobort Macaire in political profligacy, and a skulking poltroon at all times, like this wretch Forney, to accuse political oppo nents of disloyalty to their government, but Mr. Markle should not allow such political highwaymen to prostitute his respectable name to any such wicked and culpable pur pose. He, knows that tho sentiments of this vile address arc not his, and ho should, in justice to himself, to his friends and to the scoundrels who used his name to give respectability to this infamous produc tion, disavow it at once and forever. Tub Aiioutiov Disunionists. —“ Those who now prate about the Constitution are trai tors.” Such is the language of Bojamin Wade, an. abolition United States Senator from Ohio. “ Let the Union be dissolved in God’s name,” says Wendell 'Phillips in one of his burst of raving rhetoric. Yet those men are unmolested in the expression of, disunion sen timents. They are travelling, from place to place teaching disunion, abusing the admin istration, calling.Prpsident Lincoln “ turtle,” a .“first-rate second-rate man,” asking his hearers, to “ cease believing in tho Cabinet,” &o. This is. tho liberty of speech tolerated to abolitipß-disunionists, but if a Democrat dares to raise Ins voice against tho wicked ness of , the party in power, ho is threatened with incarceration in Fort Warren. Is this equal and exact justice ? Is this theliborty that is to'bo extended to one party and denied to another? Has a special license been granted to tho disunion-abolitionists to use their in tonsost endeavors to destroy the Constitution and bring the Administration into contempt before tho people because they aided to ele vate it to power f It really seems Co. Call Got the “ Wide-Awakes. —The NV Y. Sunday Times asks how it would do for the enrolling officers, and the now militia low, to carefully provide themselves with the names of all the members of tho " Wide Awake” clubs which where so numerous in that city just previous to tho late Presidential election ? There were (said to ho) thirty thousand young gentlemen attached to those clubs, and although few of them, perhaps, were entitled to a vote, the majority of them were over eighteen years of age and consequently liable to a draft. As they were very enthusiastic at tho time, no doubt they would be delighted at an opportunity to turn that enthusiasm to pa triotic account; and as they marched and countermarched in our streets with great effect, there is no reason to suppose they would be loss effective on a field whore actual fighting would bo substituted for huzzaing and lantern waving. ' Wide-Awake* ‘‘Skedadlino.” —An exami nation of tho oarpot-saoks of eighteen of the ‘‘skodaddlors” —the fellows who are fleeing the country to got clear of the draft—was made at Cleveland, Ohio. In seventeen of them were found “Wide-Awake” capes, and in one a cool-oil lampl Tho "capos” were ,to bo used at Niograi—on tho Canada side 1 DEMOCRATIC IOIJtTV. , The Chicago Times handsomely compli ments' the loyalty of tho Democracy, as shown by their efforts to crush tho rebellion. - Never perhaps, in civil government, it remarks, has so grand a speotaole been presented as. that of tho Democratic party of this country com ing up unanimously to tho support of an ad' ministration which came into power against its wishes and upon issues out of which have grown the troubles with respect to which this support is given. The President command ed this support at the moment he made tho first call to arms, nlad it has never since been withdrawn from him for a day.' It has been unconditional as to the moans to tho great end. only that they should bo constitutional, and that the great end shouldbo held continu ally in view.. It has been as cordial and dis interested in the press and through all civil channels as lofty and self-sacrificing and do voted in the field. The Democratic party has furnished nearly two-thirds of all the soldiers who have gone to the war, and when tho draft shall come it will furnish from its decimated ranks its fair proportion cheerfully. These soldiers have gone under the convictions of duty impressed upon them by the Democratic press, whore all their lives they have been accustomed to look for guidance and counsel- The President owes more to tho Democratic press for tho popular unanimity which has sustained him, as well in times of disaster or triumph, than to any other influence, When this popular unanimity; has boon im. paired, it has, boon by his own party press and his own party majority in Congress. The Democratic 'piirty and the Democratic proas claim no credit for nil this, The fact, however, tnay as well bo recalled to mind oc casionally. Had .the President's own party and party press boon as faithful and true since tho war began, the country would have been in a very much bettor Condition than it is now. The Politicai, Millennium Indefinitely Postponed.— ln the long list of persona ap pointed to assess and collect the Fedora! tax in the State of Pennsylvania, wo do' hot ob serve the name of a single Democrat. Every man is a prominent Republican or Abolition ist. ,We do not complain that the Adminis tration distributes its piitronago aniong its own party friends, and wo are glad to know that no Democrat has clamored.for favors fit the hands of an Administration with whiclp ho.can.have no political sympathy. But we do .'wonder tbht a party which professes to ig nore all political distidotions should thus ad-, vertise its insincerity and hypocrisy. The Republican State Central Committee, only last week,announced, in high-sounding words, that “there is no prejudice or opinion that' should not bo postponed, and if necessary, sacrificed to avert the common peril.'! The patriotic and disinterested gentlemen who talked in this self denying style must feel ex cessively mortified to learn that party dis tinctions aro not entirely ignored—even at Washington—and that the - political millen nium, has been indefinitely postponed. So says the Patriot .& Union. ' • A thtApoß o» 3ESTikENt. —Tlie-.; Buffalo Express, which has been a violent advoeote-of the nogro-arniing policy, has recently changed its opinions and has beoohni quite rational.— If the conductors of other johrrials of the Re publican patty.wore as candid as the editor of tho Buffalo paper, \vo should soon have oth er confessions'to publish. Wo commend the following extract from the. Express' to the se rious consideration ofthose slow-plodding Ab olitionists who have not yet, got their eyes open : ■ “ But in scanning this question.in tho light of fifteen months! experience, an unlocked for future preeents itselfi There is not that read; iness on the part of tho slave population to separate from their masters and their planta tions as was anticipated. The mass .of the slaves, if they thirst for freedom, do not rush as hastily to the fountain when under the proclamations of our Government and our Generalsitis offered, as was expected. Either through fear of consequences in tho effort to escape or of not. being well received when they enter our lines tho number ef fugitives is small, and escapes front bondage less fre quent as the war progresses. “It looks now, as if the white men of the North hereafter, would have not onlij to fight the master hut his slaves.” “ PasTEßo.vnn Patriots."— Almost every community is cursed with a class of men, just now', that cannot be better described tliiln the 'heading of this article. The Chicago Post describes them as follows: • “ lid is the most belligerent demonstrative of beings. lie is continually wanting to hurt somebody, and wanting that somebody should know and believe it. Ho is for fight. Not that ho is very apt to enlist, unless in the “ Home Guards,” but whenever there is en listing to be done His voice is heard above all other voice? in u rging others to do so. If the emergency is great or tho danger imminent, he gets terribly excited about it. lie rushes, around frantically, uses terrific words and gesticulates in ah alarming manner. lie ex : presses a vehement dcsiro to rip and slash things'. • lie blows like a thundergust. Ho prances and kicks up like an unruly mule on a railroad. Ho snorts like a steam engine. Ho gets rod in. the face likd a boiled lobster. Ho roars and bellows, and paws tho ground with much wrath, Ho gnashes his teeth and shakos his fist at the enemy—six or seven hundred miles off. Ho expresses a willing ness to out tho throats of any number of trai tors, and wants to know why other folks don’t do it. Ho is turbulent. Ho wants a “mass” in which somebody or nobody (except him self) shall get a broken head. Ho exhorts somebody to borrow a meat-axe and to “spare none of them males or females.” He insists upon domoiishifig things at a single blow like a quack medicine' advertisement gives full particulars how fb do it. A General Indian War, —Tho news font our Western Territories is unfavorable, and fears rire expressed that we are on the eve .of an extensive war with'the Indian tribes in that vast and sparsely settled region. It is believed that secession influence has been at work in creating a feeling of hostility against our Government in tho minds of the ignorant savages of our western plains. The prospect of an interruption of tho overland route to California, has induced the Post Office De partment to order the mails for tho Pacific States to bo sent by way of the Isthmus. A Wide Awake in Woman’s Clothes.— A man dressed in woman’s clothes was arrest cd at Madison, Wis., on his way to Canada to evade tho draft. His examination revealed tho fact that ho was the captain of a Wide Awake company in 1860. lie was drafted. Is’nt tbis Treason Tho Chicago Tribune a bifctor and ultra Republican Abolition paper, in a lending odr itorial of its issue of the 10th of August, says “ What means this talk about restoring the Union as it was? There can be no Union ns it was until the Confiscation Act is from the statues; that's certain. The union as it was mill never bless the vision of any pro slavent fanatic or secession sympathizer, and. it never ought to. IT IS A THING OF THE past; hated of every patriot, AND DESTINED’NEVER TO CURSE AN HONEST PEOPLE OR BLOT THE PAGES OP HISTORY AGAIN. Tho not confisca ting tho property and freeing tho slaves of traitors will not be repealed!” Is this not “discouraging enlistments?” — How many of our gallant young men in Car lisle would enlist if they thought our rulers . Were resolved never- to restore ‘the Union ns It was ?’ Yet the Tribune men are not ar rested 1 Democrats, however, are being ar rested all over tho country for less than this. The notorious "Wendell Phillips, in a re cent speech at Boston, said : “ Tho Government wants throe hundred thousand men ; wo must say to tho President, ,‘You can not have amah or a dollar until you proclaim a policy. That will open the eyes of the President and .Cabinet to the true sen timent of tho North.” If that is not discouraging enlistments what is it? , Wendell Phillips iaji man of groat infindnee in'Massachusetts, but ho is unmolested, while other men are-thrown into prison who are not doing a lithe of the injury to tho Government in stopping recruiting. Terrible Fighting, There has boon almost constant fighting in Virginia - in.the neighborhood of. Manassas and Bull Run, for a wook past; hut the groat battle of the series, according to Qon. Pope’s official dispatch published in another column, occurred on Pridhy last, when the enemy, wore driven from the field, leaving many of their dead and wounded behind. It must have been a very bloody engnpjoirtorit.as our loss is represented by the commanding'Gen eral at not loss than 8,00(1 men, dnd he esti mates'the rebel loss at double, that number. Both armies appear to-lidVe boon reinforced next day, and another severe 'engagement ensued. The ftdvdntagd, according to the dis patches,! sprinted to bo with the rebels, and Pope fell bdck to Centrevillo. On Sunday, nothing of importance occurred, but it was supposed that another great bailie would be fought on yesterday, of which we had no ac count at the time our paper went to press,in the afternoon. It looks very much os if the old Bull Run battle-field was to be the Waterloo of. the cam paign.

That is not a bad hit of Lord Russell in his reply to Secretary Seward : “ The Presi dent is aware, that perfect freedom to com ment upon all public events is, in this coun try, the invariable practice, sanctioned by the law and approved by the universal sense of the nation.” How mortifying to American pride that,, on a subject so important, so inti mately connected with our boasted free insti tutions, as the liberty of speech and of the press, the Monarchy of Greatßritain. through, a Minister of t(ie Crown, aLord of the Realm, should read us, a. homily. - What a stigma upon our national fame, upon our boasted liberty , arid unequalled privileges; that we "have given,occasion for. the instilt—invited the blow by the despotic nttottipt of the Ad ministration; through its War Secretary, to muzzle the press and seal the lips of the peo ple.

Ax Abolitionist Arrested.-— The first ar rest of an Abolitionist for uttering, disloyal itnd treasonable sentiments, was made in Now York a few days ago, by Provost Mar shal . Kennedy, of that city. The accused was D. Plumb, a notorious radical of the Phillips and Greeley tribe. He was proved to have said : “Mr. Lincoln ought to be hung ; that ho would advise all his friends, if they were'liable to draft, to leave the country and go to , Canada. In case he was drafted ho would resist until ho was a dead man, and that ho would not fight for the North until the war was conducted upon principles which accorded with his views, which views wore that the negroes should be armed and drilled to fight.” After several days’ detention, Plumb was discharged. Ov" The new Treasury Notes of the deno minations of §1 and $2, and the 5, 10, 25 and 50 ots. Postage Currency, are coming rapidly into circulation. Sis and s2s are very hand somely printed upon thick bank-note paper, and will bo an acceptable addition to our small-note currency. The others are also well engraved, and printed upon good paper, abbut one-third the size of bank-notes. Their value is expressed by the number of Postage Stamps represented upon the face, and a nu meral upon the back, printed in green. They are a poor substitute for coin, but in our present strait, will bo far preferable to the chocks and “ ehinplasters” which are now used &r making change. Discouraging Enlistments. —The 'War.

Many people have worked themselves up to a high pitch of nervousness on the subject, and we have soon some so much frightened that it would not surprise us to see them commit suicide.
