down the Cumberland Valley, and has been
sentenced ttf'bo shot.at the Carlisle Barracks

scribers to our list. That is doing vfcry well,
but if a few Democrats would take an inter
est in the matter, otirlistof subsdribers could,
with all case, be doubled in a few weeks.—
During these times of double-dealing and
treachery, fraud and corruption, Democratic

swell our subscription'list?

now quartered near Brandy Station, Va.—
They think they are entitled to tire foO boun
ty that was offered hy our County Commis
sioners to the meu who enlisted -from this
county during the summer of 1862, and they
ask us to examine into the subject and give
our opinion on it. It always gives us pleas
ure to do anything in opr power in behalf of
our soldier boys, and as scon as-we received
their letter wo made the necessary inquiries
at the proper offiico. Our County Commis
sioners admit that they did offer to pay and
did pay $5O bounty to-rrew recruits in 1862,
but to those,only who were sworn into-tho ser
vice prior to the 20th of August of said yean'
Those therefore, who enlistad'after the 20th
of August cannot claim tho bounty offered
by the County. We regret that we are com
pelled to make this imndneement, but as
friends of the 84tb ask for information on
which they can rely, wo give them tjie naked
facts.

THE DAVIS EXPULSION BESOLimOfI.
- ’For tho last two or, three weeks.the Uni
ted States Senate has been engaged in dis-
cussing a resolution (offered by the notorious
Wilson of Massachusetts,) for the expulsion
of Senator DAVJS’of K&ntucky, because be,
in his temerity, and in tho presence of tho
august Abolition fanatics who are largely in
tho majority in that body, offered a series of
resolutions sharply arraigning the adminis-
tration for its unlawful and unconstitutional.
acts. ’Tho resolutions, as presented by Sen-
ator Davis, indicated.a warm and ardent
love of country, but denounced tho doings of
tho imbeciles in power as calculated and in-
tended to usurp the Constitutional liberties
of tho people and to strike down their denr
osfc rights. For offering resolutions contain-
ig these sentiments, tho fanatical majority
at once bristled up and demanded his expul
sion from their body. They appear to hold
to the doctrine that all Senators .'must come
doSvn to Th'eif level and think and vote a’o
they do, or leave. Strictures on the thieving,
truckling, and treasonable administration, is
branded as “ disloyalty” by those pinks of
morality and honor, Sumner, Wilson, An
thony and Jim Lane !
The resolution for the expulsion of tho
Kentucky Senator, we repeat, has been un
der discussion for two weeks or more, during
Chairman
which time ,the rights and privileges of a
Senator wore fully sot forth In a number of
able speeches. Tho remarks of Senators i
Johnson of Maryland, "Powell of Ky., and
others, against the proposed expulsion of Mr. 1
Davisj were powerful, crushing and wilting.
The Jacobin Senators—those petty tyrants
who ape greatness and put on airs that are
disgusting to statesmen—quailed and cowed
under tho well-directed blows that wore
hurled against their impudent attempt at as
sumption of power, anti on (Thursday last/Ac
resolution for the expulsion of Mr. Davis was
'loiihdraxim by Wilson, who hdd offered it. —
Thus ends the farce and the two or three
weeks discussion.
Wo desire to call attention to a portion of
tho speech delivered in opposition to the ex
pulsion of Mr. Davis, by Senator Hale of N.
11. Mr. Hale, it is well known, is a leading
Abolition Senator; he has been in the Sen
ate for many years, and wh.en he first en
tered it he was wo believe, the only open and
avowed Abolitionist in that body. He is tho
Senator who “has great influence with the
Secretary of War,” and whoso magic pow
er can throw open prison doors and set apo
litical -prisoners free without a bearing or
trial, provided always that said prisoners are
able to pay two or three thousand dollars for
the privileges granted them ! Senator Hale
is at the head of the heap and a big dog un
' der the wagon at present. From his speech,
' then, on this subject, wo take tho following
extracts. Mr. Ha>ls said :
‘O. Moore, Vr&s'U
“Now, Mr. President, for myself I confess
that I feel peculiarly sensitive on this sub
ject. I came into this body some sixteen
years ago or more, without the -sympathy of
a single member on this lloor ; and I hardly
ever met a responsive glance from the galle
ries. J stood here with nobody in the -Sen
ate or out of the Senate to sympathize with
me; and .if this doctrine had* prevailed that
for the utterance of sentiments obnoxious tc
the majority of the body a man might bo cen
sured or expelled, 1 should have have been
censured or expelled the first month that 1
was upon this ‘floor. Sir, I have denounced
the action of this Government, of the Senate,'
and of the House of -Representatives, and of
the President, as being such as was eminent
ly calculated to proVolce the scorn of earth
and the judgment of Heaven. I have said
that, and I have said a great deal more than
that, and under like circumstances I would
say it again. But, sir, I will do the credit
to the party th-at-then ruled thc Senato to say
that the idea that for the utterance of those
sentiments I was subjecting myself to expul
sion ur to censure noverenterediuio my bead
or my heart.
In -a few years there-were others who came
here who occupied the same position that I
did. Wo were under the ban and the op
probrium and the reproach of both the polit
ical parties that werc.contcnding for the ma
jority here and in the country. My honora
ble friend from Massachusetts [Mr Sumn.er]-
came. Who more obnoxious thap ho ? No
body,’ un/ess it might hare been and
that not because I was a worse, but an older
sinner tuat he was. Notwithstanding that,
wo warejoined anon after by one or two oth
ers; the honorable Secretary of the treasury
first, and then the honorable Secretary of
State, who came on this floon. “ almost per
suaded to bo a Christian,' ” [laughter;] be
cause ho was ready to go with us in every
m.easure of opposition to the slave-power and
to its encroachments, when it did not conflict
with the policy of the Whig party. ■•[Renew
ed laughter.] i had no -such -qualification,
and my honorable friend from Massachusetts
had none such. We-stood-up alone here, and
wo battled as wo might for that freedom of
debate which is the birthright of an Ameri
can Senator. You must not bo-tco-censori
ous, too much inclined to find'fault, tco much
Inclined to vioit your censures and 3 r our de
nunciations-upon those who. differ from you.
TV X "K -X X- X X- #
Aa I said at the beginning, the question
whether we agree with him, whether in ,our
judgment his resolutions are true or false,
whether they tend to sedition, or what not,
is not for ns to say. It was a declaration of
tho great apostle of American Democracy
that error might be safely tolerated while
truth was left free to combat it; and, sir, in
my humble judgment, the truth, and the
simple truth,-wielded by the able men who
sit around mo, is the appropriate pnd legiti
mate and the senatorial -manner and the sen
atorial weapon with which tho errors of tho
Senatorfrom XCentdcky, if errors he has com
mitted, are to be met.
Mr. President,-I have said thus much, itid
X do not moau to say more, because T have
felt from tho-beginning of my entrance on
this floor that the freedom of debate in tho
Senate should bo maintained at all hazards
and under all circumstances ; and no matter
if with tho fastidiousness of a lawyer, we
may point out everywhere that has been
pointed out in the resolutions of the Senator
from Kentucky, I ask you at last, what-are
yoii going to censure him for ? Isot because
he has uttered’sentiments that tend to rev
olution and that tend to sedition, - but be
cause in your judgment he hai done it. In
his own judgment he Has not done it. Now,
sir, it is tho first time I over he'ard that-any
body in a public -assembly having made
statements upon which a construction was
put, was-not-fit liberty to disclaim the at
tempt to put ‘a meaning upon his words
which lie disavowed.
I think, sir, it would be the most danger
ous precedent that is to be found in the leg;
islativo history of our country, if the Senate
of the United States, for words spoken or,
written, however obnoxious they-may be,
should exercise this high prerogative of ex
pelling or censuring the- men who uttered or
wrdt.c thorn, olt would be a confession of
weakness before the country and.the world
that we should not make. BvU disposed
men would siezo upon r and they would
say: “There was that So- tor from Kentuc
ky ; he introduced'ioac ,ious which you
could not answer ; he introduced resolutions
arraigning yon and your President, and there
was not a man of you that could answer
them, and so you held your jieac'o and voted
him out of tlib Senate.”
No wonder Mr. Hale felt '• peculiarly sen
sitive on the subject,’’.for it is true as he
says, that “ if this doctrine had prevailed,
that for the utterance of sentiments obnox
ious to the majority of the body, a man might
be censored or expelled,’' ho (Halo,) would
have “ boon censured or expelled the first
month ho was upon the floor.” And the
same would have boon Sumner’s fate. In
deed, it would'havo\)oen the fate of nearly
every Abolition Senator, for it is patent to
all that these very men have been mo'st bit
ter,,vindictive and treasonable in speech
against every Democratic administration.—
During tho Mexican War, Ton Corwin of
Ohio., (whp now holds office under Lincoln.)
in bis place in the Senate, expressed the
hope that the soldier? o'f our armies “ would
•id met with bloody hands and welcomed to in
hospitable graves.” This was rank, unadul
terated treason, but no one thought of offer
ing a resolution for tho expulsion ol that trai
tor Senator. Nor was Corw;n alono in giv-
ing “ aid and comfort to the enemy.” ’ Bur- ;
linoame of Mass, (another office-holder un- *
dor Lincoln,) gave tongue to the same tune,,
and denounced the war and the then Presi
dent (the patriot Polk,) anil urged our young
men “ not to enlist in our armies.” Thes-o
two men were the loaders of their party, and
, they spoke for their coflcaguos, but yet no
| motion to expel thorn was entertained. ,
And if we go back to.more remote history,
wo find that the Federalists and Whigs did
not hesitate to denounce, in terms of bitter
ness, every -net a Democratic President
whose opinions did not accord with their
own. By a reference to the debates during
the war of 1812, it will be found that hardly
a subject was debated involving the policy of
that war in which th 6 Executive We not de
nounced in the roost acrimonious terms. —
Still, no member of the House or Senate was
expelled, nor were men put into prison be
cause'of their opposition to the President;
but “truth was left free to combat it.” —
John Q. Adams, Seward, (our present “ loy
al” Secretary of State,) Chase, (the “loyal”
Secretary of the Treasury,) Hale, (who has
-influence with our “ loyal” Secretary of
, War,) have all, time ,and again, presented
partitions in Congress praying for a dissolu
tion of the Union, and they have voted to dis
solve the. Union, and yet they were not ex
pelled. And-, not a great many years ago,
a 'certain rail-splitter from Illinois, a man 1
i with monstrous icet and little head, called
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, held a seat in Con
gress, and ho made a disunion speech, and in
that speech boldly, and with treason in -lira
heart and asp-like poison on his lips, dared,
to propose a dissolution of the Union,, and ar
gued that the people of any State lecling ag
grieved, might, and should , go out of the
Union and put the balance of the Statesabdc
fiancc ! And even he was not expelled or oven
censured by the House. Had bo fulminated
such treason in England, or France, or Rus
sia, his bead, would have been in danger;
but here, in once free America, whore a free
press and free speech has been, tmfis -no lon
ger tolerated, the Democratic majority in
Congress permitted even the treason of Lin
coln to go unpunished. But, how is it now—
now that Lincoln is President, and two men
who voted for a dissolution of tho Union arc in
'the Cabinet ? We have nofroc press, no free
speech,'no liberty, no law, no 'Constitution,
no Union. Senators arc arraignedtfor speak
ing “ disrespectfully” of the poor incompe
tent in the White House, and others are
crowded out ot the Senate because an impu
dent majority of fanatics require the taking
of a new and insulting and unlawful oath.—
In the name of heaven, whither arc we drift
ing ?

dent has signed the act recently passed by

"Years Ugo had a colored man presented

the 11 SOLDIER’S FRIEND” AND TDE SOL-
1)1 ERS
Last week two regiments of veteran sol
diers (the 7th.and 55th Penn. Cavalry;) ar
rived at Harrisburg. Having re-enlisted for
tjirce years more, they iroro granted a fur
lough of thirty days, and ordered to our seat
of Government to receivt their pay. Their
journey had been along and tedious one, and
tho officers and raonwc'c. almost exhausted^
for tho want of food nnc rest; but they bore
up like true veterans, feeling sure that on
their arrival at the home of Gov. Curtin, tho
“ soldier’s friend,' " they world receive plenty
to eat and .comfortable charters forest in.—
They expected, poor fellows, a warm recep
tion from thoSe in authority whoso duty it
was to provide for their comfort. But, tho
veterans wer* disappointed. On arriving at
Harrisburg, cold, tired, hungry, and many
of them sick, neither tho “ soldier’s friend
or any body dsO mot them or ministered to
their wants. They marched into town, head
ed by bands tf music, and finally halted al
most in the sladow of tho Executive Cham-
her, but still 30 one hi authority recognised
them. -Finally the brave boys became im
patient, and commenced to clamor for l * Cur
tin, quarter?;, and victuals.” At last the
“soldier's friend” was roused from bis mor
bid drowsiness, and he sent one of his nu
merous-and well-fed Aids to the Colonels of
the regiments, with instructions to march the
men to Gamp Curtin! . The order was given,
land the weary and soto*-£boted soldiers wore
marched to said camp. The Camp waa in a ]
dreadful condition —filthy, cold, and mud op
to the knees. A few Md shanties, half-filled
with water, and with no straw, wore the
“ quarters” Abo soldiers were introduced to.
No wonder they at once rebelled ; no wonder
they cursed the “ soldier’s friend” and all in
authority; no wonder they put their officers
at defiance, to town, pellmoll,
to heg something to cat from the citizens ; no
wonder that, rather than inhale the miasma
of Camp Curtin (camp mud-hole, would ho a
hotter name,) they rested their weary bodies
and aching bones all night upon the pave
ments of Harrisburg and on the stopfe of the
•Executive Department.
•How different would have been the recep
tion of these three years’ veterans had an el
ection heen pending? Then Curtin, whose
impudence prompted him to call himself the
f * soldier’s friend,” would have met them, in
company v\'itli his lazy staff, .at £he depot,
and welcomed them home, in a speech filled
with fulsome flattery. Ho would have re-,
mined them of the groat affection ho felt for'
thousand with honied words convitteed them
that he was proud to bo copfciffoTOd their very
anxious friend. Ko-w long tables ‘■frobld have
Igroanod under the weight (iff good things sot
; before the soldiers, XT.uwr he. would have
Caressed arid hugged thorn, and taken a
“ smite” with them as'ofton as they desired.
Comfortable •quarters, too, filled with straw
■and blankets, Avon Id have been provided for
them; and Anally lie would have whispered
in their ears that he was the true “soldier’s
friend,” and a candidate for re-election!—
This would have been Curtin's conduct, we
1 say, had his rc-e.leetiou been pending. But
the election is over, and CnmN nogiects
even his plain dn ty toward our bravos. Ho
cares no more for the soldiers—now that the
election is over—than he would fur so many
dugs, and h'ta into conduct ie as disgraceful'
as it is cold and heartless. A bnauty-indood,
to style himself -the, “ snMlcr’s friend I” Ho
is their friend when ho wants their support,
but as 3?oartHas as a lizard when no votes
are wanted. The “ soldier’s friend,” indeed !
! Hah I
The bad -treatment of the soldiers was
loadc known to members jf tlio Legislature,
when Mr. Hex, (Democrat, from Montgome
ry,) offered-a resolution in the House, to the
effect that the military authorities should
make arrangements suitable to the proper
accommodation of the soldiers, during .their,
stay in the city, “ and thereby wipe out the:
disnraoe to our soldiers which the neglect to
do so had imposed upon them.” This was '
more than Abolition “ loyalty” could stand ;
.so Mr. Smith, of Chester, moved to strike
out nil of the resolution, after the word city.
Mr. Smith, by his motion, held that such
treatment of oup soldiers was no disgrace at
all.
■Mr. B. F. Meters, of Bedford, however,
placed-the whole subject in its proper posi
tion, by ofenng'th'e following substitute:
dissolved, That a committee of three mem
bers of this House no hppointed to inquire
in'todhe condition of Camp Curtin,-and also
what arraegements have been mads by the
authorities for the reception of the volun- :
teers returning from the war, and to report
the same to this House.
The Abolition, members squirmed end wig
gled,like eels ■under the process of skinning.
Finally most of them very reluctantly voted
for the resolution, and others “ dodged,” and
did not veto at all. The resolution was
adopted.
The Harrisburg 'Telegraph, the 'pensioned
Jacobin organ of the State and Nationabßd
ministrations, notwithstanding it is "'over
ready to excuse all kinds of villainy in its
party, was alarmed at the conduct of those
in .authority,, and protended to chide-them
severely for it. dt was yery indignant, bow
over, that -Hr. Rex, and the Democrats of
the House should think-and feel for the sol
diers, and after blackguarding them soundly,
the Telegraph says:
“ Wd would ask, whoso duty it is to see to
the comfort, the subsistence and the shelter
of the returning veterans ? "We cannot close
our-eyes to the fact, that there are Major
Ge'nerals,-Stuff officers,- Captains, Lieutenants
and every grade of officials at this post to at
tend to ‘‘military affairs” And yet, when
a regiment of veterans arrive at'Harrisburg,
either during dny-light or dark~in sunshine
or rain, it is nobody’s business to them
tjuarterh-r-nohody’s business: to issue them
rations—nobody’s business to pay them off.
The.men are jeft to lie down in the mud
they are forced-td repose on the,steps of the
capital or a cellar-door. ‘ln oha instance,
while these, Veterans Were huddled together
in the soldier’s retreat, they were driven out
on the written order of a Major General, at
the point of the Provost Marshal’s.hayepets;
Those are facts. We cannot close bur byes
to them ; and it is time that the Government
take hold of 'those neglects, if we expect
men to' peril their lives in its defence.—
Somebody is to blame, and we demand that
that somebody he exposed. 1 If it is not the
business of the innumerable officers at this
post to attend to the wants 61 the soldiers—
to .she that they-nth-cjua’flerell,' Sy-bVisitd,
paid, &«., then, the officers iu question are a
qet of idlers, consuming the substance of the
pooplo without a fair return in service, and
they should all bo expelled froth the employ
ment of the Government forthwith.”

r RuiS’m i\y Good Fortune. —Felix Gill, of
Philadelphia, lately had a legacy of $30,000
loft him, on which an advance payment of
$3OOO was made him. Overcame by his good
fortune, be forsook wife and business for whis
key and debauchery, and wound up his course
of wickedness on Wodnsday last by murder
ing his wife with a poker, and committing
the most revolting indignities upon her life
less body. Since his arrest bo has’refused all
nourishment, and is said to be now lying in
prison at the point of death - .
Jt'ST So.— The Springfield Republican
says, “'"the attorUp* of some of the adminis
tration papers to deny, cover up and excuse
the recently discovered frauds upon the Gov-,
ernmorit is monstrous. It is as absurd as it
is wicked.” Just so!. Almost as bud as the
frauds themselves.

the affair atScotsvillo,..Ky.:
Captain Gillum, of the Forty-eighth Ken

Colonel Hamilton, with five hundred lletejs,
attacked him.
After a desperate fight Gillum surrender
ed Scotsvillo te 'Hamilton, on condition that
private property should be respected &nd his
men paroled. , ..
Hamilton assented to this, but afterwards
fired the Court -House, destroying all the
public documents. . .. . . . ....
Gillum then informed Hamilton ■ that he
no longer considered,the paroles of his men
legal.

Wo, the persons appointed by said Court, ns
visitors to the 'Poor llouso, for tho year ISC.3, do
certify, that wo have visited tho aaino frequently,
during tho present year, and mostly at times wbeiC,
Mr. Snydor (tho steward,) was not aware of oar
coming, and invariably found tho bouse in excel
lent order, tho several apartments well adjusted,
and tho bod-obamhora clean and ; :V.rqi3hc(l with
good and soft bods. Also, everything On tho
or pertaining to tlio premises iu very good condi
tion, and tho management of tho farm well con:
ducted and arranged. Tho rations for.thoihmal«i
are.very good and palatable, and everything uec :
opary for their comfort provided. Everything
indicates that the steward is endeavoring to make
all who aro in bis charge as comfortable as ho pos
sibly can, as is shown by hia assiduous application.
Wo -might reasonably suppose that amidol the
numborßf paupers there, tH'ejdaoo -should scon
gloomy and saddening, but on tho contrary wo find
the growler part cheerful and -merry, and display:
ing considerable taste in keeping their pOrsonj
, tidy, (especially the females,) and all scumod a*
though they Uroft dt hoine, enjQybd;hf° andpasaed

being .a ••Jroarfsome and unpleasant obo, wo a®
; think-that ho ia,not fully compensated for his jn

We also think it necessary to make so^o
