ITT* The farmers in every flection of the county greatly of the scarcity of laborers. Workmen are scarcer now, than they have-oyer been,'and it is hard to know how some kinds of business are to he carried on after the draft is made. [C7” The sale of agricultural implements during the present season has exceeded any previous year. This result is not to be at- tributed so much to the increasing prosperity ■of our 'farming community as it is to the scarcity oflaborers. Case ofWm. Borland.— We invitoatten tion to the statement of Mr. Wm. Borland, of this county, in another -column. Mr. B. ■is a respectable man, and loyal to the Con stitution and bis country.. That much we ■can attest. Upon information of George Berg her, (having committed no offence,) he was! seized by military authority, and for throe* days and nights wrongfully held in custody, confined in a filthy hole at Camp when, there appearing to be no evidence against him worthy of credit, he was dis charged,, It was ns gross an outrage as ever was perpetrated. Fast Riding—Accident.— On Monday morning, about 8J o'clock, three young.men belonging to the Provost Guard stationed in this place, were riding at a furious rate, (in fact running a race,) down Hanover street. Near the corner of Hanover 'and Pomfret streets the horse rode by Francis Sciiur, ot Go. I, Capt. Kleg, 31st. Reg., fell fl tt t upon the with his rider under him.— She horse immediately got upon his feet, but Scbur did not move for several minutes, arid it was supposed at first that .ho was dead.— After working with him some time his con sciousness returned, and he was removed to his quarters, where medical aid was sum moned. It was discovered that hie injuries consisted of severe bruises, outs .upon the head, sprains, Ac. He is doing well* and will, it is hoped, be about again in a few ; flays. He is a Philadelphian. A word to our military friends who are now acting as a Provost Guard for our town.— They must stop fast riding ; it is a dangerous practice and in violation of the Borough law. The late«hccident should serve as a warning them. If itdoes not, our Borough author ises must put the law in force against all its violators. Scrrbndeb or Port Hudson. —We have the important news that Port Hudson, the rebel strong-hold, surrendered to General Banks or. the 9th instant-five days after the fal! of Vicksburg. This clears the banks of the Mississippi of the rebel fortifications, and opens it do commerce. Doubtless the rebels will endeavor,to re-establish themselves upon its banka; but our gunboats will keep a vle 3,ant 'gl over: it. The first news of the oap .Port Hudson, was received from the Richmond papers. It is since confirmed by despatches from Gen. Banks. & Hard Hit at our Carlisie Bepdbli oans who -Skedaddled.— The day after the MOels had taken, possession of Carlisle, the Harrisburg Telegraph, published by the Post- Master of that city, said j j *** loafers - who fled from If th«v W at th - e a PP roaoh of the enemy.— h . n ? remained at home and shouldered m defences their towns, it would have been more creditable to manhood CT* Onr readers should bear this important fact in mind—that if they pay $3OO it only exempts them for the present draft, while if they get a substitute it clears them from all drafts made during bis period of service.— Wo mate this statement on the authority of the Provost Marshal General. pa^f T l?- r - Ce ,° fCoarha8 8 0ne - u P in every r D their m - C a UOtry - ° ur fri ®" dB make article this’fall. 40 W a h ' eh price for tbe ICT” A combination ot wool no _ M . been formed in Pittsburg; wh6 agree sell their wool at less than a dollar a pound.

Tli« disgraceful nnti.conscription riot* that broke'out in Now York lust week have boon quelled, "and most of the ringleaders engaged in them have been arrested, and of course wil'lhd, ns they should be, sovordjy punished. During these tumultuous out^edWhundreds of men, women wore murdered, and property to the amount of millions was destroyed. They wore the most fqrmidnble riots that ever broke out in this country, and were equal in brutal ferocity to those that preceded the French Revolution. , "Who must wo hold responsible for the bursting of tho slumbering volcano ? -Who ore the men who refused to bo warned"? Lot us see. For tho last eighteen months the Washing ton administration and those under it have been applying the screws to the people.— The papers in the interest of'the administra tion have for publishing ths most libellous and inflammatory articles against the Democratic party. Ignorant menials wearing shoulder straps have been clothed with powers such ns no despot on earth ever enjoyed. The law has been openly defied, tho Constitution derided and disregarded, Abolition mobs have been protected and ap plauded in their assaults 'upon the property. | of Democrats, thousands of men and many I women and children have been arrested and imprisoned without a hearing, ministers have been dragged from the pulpit and judges from .the bench, and tho infamous doctrine Of amalgamation and equality of tho races has been preached from the sacred desk and from the stump. Nay more, military men high in position, and in the hearing of the President I ■huaself, have informed'tbe (Democrats Of the North that “ their time is short,'" and that as soon as the rebels are put down the bayo nets of the army are to bS turned against the Democratic piirty. Even now, when tens of thousands of Democrats are to be drafted into the army, they are told by the Secretary of War that they are to “ be sent hissing to their holes” (murdered, we suppose,) imme diately after the rebels have been conquered, | Democratic printing offices have been sacked.) by cowards, mutineers, burglars and knaves. ■and these acts have been endorsed by Aboli tion.lackeys who swear, by the administra tion. These things—these outrages and many more, have taken place within the last year and a-ha!lf. The result of the elections in the Northern 'States last fall, - should have! convinced the administration of its errors and induced it to hearken to the emphatic voice of the ballot-bos. But no I—the voice was spurned, and the tyranny of our. rulers redoubled: The people were defied,'and mo., man was safe ifrhe advocated an observance of law or spoke favorable of the provisions of the Constitution. We, in common with our Democratic oo temporaries, have appealed to the adminis tration, time and again,- to change its policy and stop itsperseoutions. We have purpose ly overlooked many of the short-comings of the Washington dynasty, for we felt that our country was menaced, and we desired to see the rebellion throttled and put down in the: shortest possible time. But- the only reply’ ■Democratic editors received for their pains* •was “copperhead,"."traitor” &o. TThe riots in New York, Boston,, and otter places, devilish and wicked though they weje, will, we hope, serve as a warning to thospin [authority, and induce them to stop their I threats and persecutions, and to disoounte- I nance and punish their men'political, adhe rents when they engage in unlawful practices. Mr. Lincoln should know that if omtset of menarepermitted todestroy property at pleas ure, another set will do the same thing ; and if Democratic printing-offices are “sacked," Republican offices will meet the same fate.— IWe are opposed to mobs, ©own with them, we say. Every good citizen should discoun’ But, as we said before, if the mob spirit is encouraged by Eepublicaris. they cannot complain if the chalice is returned to their own lips. Let the persecutions of the administration, therefore,.cease, let us all discountenance mobs, and give our influence vn behalf of our distracted coun try, and lend all the aid we can to our army in its efforts to put down the rebela in arms, O'Mr. ...Stevens was the acknowledged leader of his joatfy in the <l7, S. House of Rep resentatives ; I.e'hnd more to .do than any other member in moulding the radical pol icy of the Administration; he dictated eman cipation proclamations, and invited negro insurrections. His policy is in full operation and what has it produced? W hy a unitcdf ; ferocious and desperate South, not content to fight upon the defensive, but determined to risk a pitched battle in the hope of captur ing our National Capital. This is the result df radical policy, and yet its authors are now as impudent and insolentin. their proceed-' ings and exactions, as if their plans had pro duced magnificent results for the national cause. Stevens will g 0 back to the next Congress and will, with a face of brass, con tmue to domineer and dictate the policy to be pursued hereafter. 1 a hEaifiHABLB ARTICLE, COKSIDEBISD ITS SOURCE. The‘following article, which wo take from thceditorinl cdlumns of'the Harrisburg Tele graph, ot the 14th inst., will, wc opine, open the eyes of some people. The Telegraph, it is well known, is'the Harrisburg organ of the ■Washington administration,, nndjts proprie tor, Bbroner, is Post-Masler of. that city— The Telegraph, it will bo seen, makes the startling announcement that seven-tenths of the officers of our army “deem ifto'be'their. ‘interest to prolong the war," and that others "are-amassing colossal fortunes solely by the prolongation of the. War," and hence it is their business to “ profess to be loyal, ,and keep the country in a constant state of sus pense between victory and defeat/' These are sweeping charges, and hod they been made by a Democratic editor he would -have , found himself in a hostile in “ less than no time.” It is very true, however, that plun der has been one of the objects of the war ; and notwithstanding men hove been detected in swindling the Government but of millions of dollars, not one has been punished. On the contrary, these thieves, swindlers and leeches are still the particular friends of the administration, and their advice is sought on all occasions. Robbery and robbers have been at a premium for the last two years— We cannot agree with the Telegraph that “seven out of every ten officers now in the service deem it to be their interest to prolong the war/' We have a better opinion df n majority of pur, officers, and it charge so sweeping and libellous‘is the rankest kind of “ disloyalty." Perhaps a large number ■of our Officers might be thus stigmatized, but not “ seven out'pf-evepylen.” 3t is true, ‘too, that many officers high in command have’ 'been detected in speculations—in other words, stealing from the Government—but not a mother’s sou of them has been dismissed from service. It is true, also, that “ the lust of gain ’ not only assisted to bring on the war, but has prolonged it. Had it not been for the Abolitionists and fire-eaters on the one hand, and .the “ lust of gain" on the other,' the probabilities are oar country would still be in the enjoyment of .peace—prosperous, happy and contented, with gold and silver as our currency, as heretofore. But, the passions of bad men and “ the lust of gain" prevailed and wo have had a bloody civil war for over two years. There is no help for us now but to fight the war through, nor can we ever yield until the Union is restored.' But those I wh« nre governed by “‘the lust of gain,” ■should be. choked from the public teat, and those officers who desire to* see the war pro longed, should be dismissed. . : But, to the article from the Telegraph, the Abolition organ at Harrisburg; .

The lust.of gain, the creed of power and the temptation of posftion )' h ‘p tl now PJ'evail among a very large class lreo States, has Imd very much to do with the prolongation of the war.

Tha New York Herald, a paper which h(is rendered a consistent and persistent support to the'Naiional Administration, hns the fol lowing, which we oCnuuond to the attention' ■of all ourrendors; 1 Three years ago this country was the envy lof the world. Thirty millions of people of nil classes, conditions, religions and nativities were living happily together under the hao piest government on the face of the earth.— The poor and the oppressed of all nations found a refuge upon our shores. Oar flag was known and respected in every land and on every Sea. Our commerce bore to distant lohmes the products of bur soil and of our' manufaotuiwr.wid, brought us in exchange all the,comforts and luxuries wo could desire. To be an American citizen was so great an honor that even the aristocrats of Europe, showed us especial favors and treated our •representatives with distinguished consider-' •ation. Wo had. just sent France her Empe -ror'and.-Italy her liberator, after having re ceived and sfetedted these illustrious exiles. IhcfutureTCingpf England had yisited us to see for. himself the supreme greatness and happiness of a free people under a govern ment of their own choice. ‘Peace, content, meat and prosperity at home—admiration, envy and honor-abroad—in these words is : pictured tbacondition of the 'United States •three.years'ago. . ; To day one half the country is in rebellion against the Government, Three hundred thousand American soldiers are arrayed ■against oootf other around the National Cap ital.

It pervades the Court, the Cab inet, the press and the party. It is, in short, the sublime idea upon which the war is now conducted. The Constitution is to be sub verted, the Union destroyed, and a now Gov ernment of contra)iced -power reared -upon the solid foundation of infidelity, fanaticism and equality of races. The times are evil and the signs portentious. O” A good many years ago, says Prentice, we thought that one General Jackson. was too many. Now we should like to Jiavo a •couple—one to administer the government, and the other to command oar armies in the field.. O” The radical papers have suddenly dis covered that it is not easy to “ bag" an army. They used to speak of it as the-simplest thing in the world, and to blame a General who failed to do it. i PBOCLAJIATION BY TIIE PRRSIDENT. A Day of Thanksgiving ami Prnl By* TUB • PRESIDENT OP TUB UNITED- STATES OP ABftiRICA : A PROCLAMATION: . I It'lms,-pleased Almighty God to hearken to tho supplications .and prayers of an afflicted people, and to vouchsafe to the Army and the Navy of tho Uh victories bn land apd on the-sea, so signal and so effective ns to furnish reasonable grounds for. aug mented confidence that the Union of these States will bo sustained; their Constitution preserved, and their pence and prosperity permanently 'restored. ■But these victories have been accorded not without sacrifices of life, limb, health, and liberty, incurred by brave, loyal, and patriot ic citizens. Domestic tifflifctions in every part of the country follow in the'ttnin df those fearful bereavements. It is mbot fend,right to recognize and confess the presence (if the Almighty Father, and the power of His band equally in those triumphs and these sorrows., Now, therefore , he it Unman, That I do set apart Thursday, the Gth.day of August next, to bo observed ns a day of" national thanks giving, praise, and prayer, and I invite the people of tho United States to assemble on that occasion in their customary places of worship, and in the forms approved by their own conscience, mid reader the homage duo ■to the Divine Majesty for the wonderful things He has done in the nation’s behalf, and invoke the influence of His holy spirit to subdue the anger which has produced and so long sustained a needless and cruel rebellion, to change the hearts of the insurgents : to guide tile counsels of .the Government .with wisdom adequate to eogreata national omer genoy, and to visit with tender oare.and con solation throughout the length and breadth of our land nil those who, through the vicis situdes of marches, voyages, battles, and sieges, have been brought’to suffer in mind, body, or estate, and finally to lend tho whole nation through the paths of repentance and submission to the Divine will, back to tho perfect enjoyment of Union and frnternn POQCO. In witness Avboronf, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to bo affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this, the dsth day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the.lndependence of the United States of America the eighty-eighth. [L. S.l . ABKAIIAM LINCOLN. ■ Wm, 11. Seward, Secretary of State. The trim* of Slfenis, The President, in his letter to the Albany committee, says : i , . Phe man who stands by and-says'noth- ing when the peril of this government is disoussedj cannot be misunderstood." v The New York World aeks, “was anything so extraordinary ever before uttered by the Chief Magistrate of a free country ? Men are torn from their homos and immured in bastiles for the shocking, prime of— silence ! Citizens of the modern Uepublio of the world, are ndt only punished for, speaking their opinions, lut are plunged into dungeons for holding their tongues! When before; in the annals of tyranny, was silence ever punished as a crime.? Citizens who disapprove of the aets'of the Administration are , denied'evon the refuge of a dignified silence, and, on a malicious and par tisa n conjectures of the mo tives of such silence, they are deprived of their litierty. Few among us ever expected to live to see , such things done; and nobody,, we are sure, to sea them so unblushing]y confessed.” . b TnAboEiw Stevens’ l’oucv.i-In a speech delivered before the Republican County Con vention, which met at Fulton Hall, in this city, on the 3d of September last, Mr. Stevens said : V A s°L ,t,on -’ cs ’ abolish everything on the If ace of the earth but the Onion \ free even i.'i5TT, Bl ‘i7 EVERy fiAiTuii—BUllN EVERY [’REBEL MANSION, if these things be ne cessary to preserve this templeof freedom to the world and to otir posterity. Unless we ao this \\e cannot conquer them.’* Curses, like chickens, .‘come home to roost —so says the old proverb, and Mr. Stevens I has had it verified in. his own experience I since the rebel invasion of .Pennsylvania, in the entire destruction of . his Iron Works in I Adams county, involving a loss, it is si id, of from §50.000 to §lOO,OOO 1 This vandal pol ,ioy may do well enough to. talk about when invading the enemy’s country, two or throe (hundred miles off, but it is quite a different thing when we, in turn, become the invaded 'Darty, and have our property—the hard enrn ■ed -aooumulation of many years—become a prey to the enemy.— Lan. Intelligencer, O'-John Morgan, the rebel chief has in vaded Indiana, destroyed property both pub lic and private to a large amount, captured I the towns of Vienna and Lexington, destroyed I-a .portion of . the Ohio and Mississippi Rail- I road and threatens to invade Ohio with his, maurading thieves, and in view of the ira-’ pending danger," martial law has been de planed .inCovington, Newport and 'Cincinnati, fend ’the citizens ordered ’to form themselves' into companies for the purpose of self preser vation. From the notes of preparation eve rywhere, we have hopes that Morgan will get his neck into in sling before he gets out of Indiana, as the -Hoosier boys are up and after him. Wo trust his maurading band will be captured, and that this is the last raid they will make except one to (a nameless place,) where all such traitors ought to be !’ Pres lD entul Eloquence— Mr. Lincoln’s peculiar style, both of thought and express ion, has been the subject of much ridicule, and foreign criticism has .made it the occa sion of some reflection upon our intelligence as a people. Mr. Lincoln is at times quite happy, and his late letter to the new milita ry commander in Missouri was a-model of the kind.. His Fourth of July speech at Wash ington, though, may be characterised as of the first order of pot house elocution* Think of the following, from the Chief Magistrate of this nation; And on the fourth, the cohortsof those who opposed ,tho declarations'that all men are created equal, ‘ turned tail’ and run Long continued ohoers.’’J] Fancy Lord Palmerston, or Louis Napoleon “holding forth" after this fashion. John W. Forney is spoken of as a candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania— When this man fills that seat in the proud old Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, w.e might as well abolish all penal laws and offer a pre mium for vice.
