    uni COTI iitions by which the foregoing result
is 1 1 be obtain*there remains only the al
ternative of the triumph cf the revolt over
the nation, and the permanent independence
of the seceded States. We do not propose
to discuss, at this time c ns- .quen • - such
a division cf the nation, hut only to .ook
calm I v at some of the most obvious diffieul
ties of its accomplishment. And in the very
front of all these, is the question of the abil
ity of the secession party, either to obtain
from consent f the nation, the concession
cf Jependence of the Confederate States,
or i - ability to wrest it froiu the nation by
arms. The q : ?-ti n f that consent is a
qu.-tion of >•■ c<\ i. *. f war: a question
which the • --i it p .rty disdained even to
d.-cu st f t- !h.-v flew t • arms: a question
which will, ii reafi-r, depend essentially upon
the s|a:e tl ti.e country, and the wishes of
the S'atts i, w under the domir Ln of that
party, if the war i ended. The gnat prin
" .1 v. .i.eii the IO'i: r.t me nation
e.nl 1, in any eircum-' .: .. u f. rc "
- t opf site to the,,: at | rinciple -n which
t!.i- revolt proceeds —namely, veneration for
sopul.ar right; an Iti e popular will. AV hat
view the pople of the South may take of their
right-, and what may be their wiil touching
tl.Hr erect i*. u into a separate nation, are
questions wLi.h may be very greatly affected
: , tl. j pr.gr-.-ss of events, an d the decision
f which, Ly themselves, in ay be very various,
according a- tbey arc in circumstances which
. ! w them to vote and act freely or, which
oblige thorn to vote an d act under a übiqui
tous military despotism, administered by
armed revolutit uary c mi in it tees of vigilance.
What is passing LJW in \ irginia and ien
ucssee—what has passed in every Skate that
has already seceded—what was attempted in
Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri—would
not, in ail probability, be taken—by a great
nation 3 val to 5 rubor right-, and fail of
veneration fir free institutions —for such an
espre-sion of the popular desire and wiil, on
the part of great numbers of its citizens, as
would challenge its consent to its own dis
tu-'-mberment. It is not to be disguised, how
ever, that even under the- most favorable as
poet in which the subject of the peaceable
division of the nati n could be presented,
tb o are obstacles in the way of its aceom
j.!i;hniert which nothing but the highest and
noblest convictions of mutual oblig&ti m,
united with the profoundest sense of mutual
f >rbearaoce, accommodation and good will
Could surmount. In the present state of the
country, it i; snperfluence to discuss these ob
stacles. And in the degree that indepen
dence, by whatever means, as the only alter
native t restoration to the L'nion, is envir
one i with difficulties : is the madness of the
secession movement manifest, and the duty
of the nation to suppress it clear.
4. It seems to remain, then, that the soli
tary result of the war, is the restoration of
the -ecu-del to the I nion, or the tri
umph of the arms of the secessionists over
the nation. The more complete this great
truth is fix- 1 in the mind of all parties, the
better for all. The m .re thoroughly the na
tion understands tka' it is lighting neither for
vengeance nor for conquest, but directly for
sell -preservation, and remotely for the main
tenance of its independence in the face of 'll
tho nation, and for its future peace, security
and advancement In the glorious career now
threatened to be cut short, the more it will
be disposed to prosecute the war forced upon
it, in the manner which becomes such a peo
pie. driven into such a conflict. And the
more completely th who arc- in arms against
the nation realize, that what they seek is,
probably, not attainable; and the more clear
ly the States and people now seduced or ter
rifled into a revolt so unnatural understand
that tlc- suppression of that revolt means,
not their degradation, but their restoration to
all that was won by the valor and confirmed
by the wisdom of their ancestors; the more
certain will be the cure of their present fren
zy—the more rapid their deliverance from
the delusions under which they have erred
exceedingly—and the more thorough their
overthrow of the faction now leading them to
destruction.
5. To all human appearance, the establish
ment of the independence of the Confederate
States by the present war is impossible. How
much blood may be shed, how much treasure
may be squandered, how much suffering may
be inflicted, how much ruin, in ten thousand
ways, may be brought upon millions of peo
ple, and how near to the brink of destruction
the country may be brought—can now be
known oniy to the ltuler of the Universe.
Rut so far as any object avowed, or even con
ceivable, which ever was, or can be, proposed
as a benefit to the Southern States, was ex
pected to be promoted by secession, this war
renders that object unattainable. We do not
propose to enter into discussions from a miii
t iry point of view, nor do we underrate the
difficulties cf every kind, which the General
Government has to encounter. Rut it seems
to us perfectly inevitable, that without the
special interposition of Gud for the destruc
tion of this great nation, the certainty is
complete—that the independence of the Con
federate States can not be established as the
result ot war. In the degree that this jndg
ment may be supposed to be just two conclu
sions, bulb of them of great weight follow.—
Iho first is the wickedness and folly not only '
of the revolt itself but of the whole spirit arid
method in which it has been prosecuted; the
second is the certainly that the fact itself in
proportion as it becomes manifest, must wea
ken throughout the whole South, the purpose
to prosecute a conflict so ruinous and so
bootless. So doubt there are wars which
may be prosecuted to the last extremity; and
tio dnubt, many thousands of secessionists
may have persuaded themselves that this is
such a war, or may have so deeply wrecked
ail other hopes that only this desperate stake
is left to them. Rut the dictates of reason
and morality—the judgment of mankind—
and the irreversible decree of posterity, is j
different here. I his is a revolt, whose com
plete success would not have justified the war
into which it has plunged a great country :
and, therefore, the certainty of its failure i
robs its continuance ot all pretext.* And
such, at no distant period, may be expected
to bo the judgment of the great mass of the
Southern people : and, by consequence, their
peaceful and cordial return to their loyalty,
and to the exeicises of all their rights as cit
izens of tl e United States—instead of being
a preposterous dream—is not only the most
probable, but apparently the certain result,
of a wise and courageous treatment of affairs.

lFTw.lt ha- been customary with us for
several years to issue no paper on the 4th
of July week, but as it i- possible stirring
events may transpire by that time, we shall,
: if any important news couie to hand, issue
I a half sheet —otherwise the usual extra.
The War News of the past week has
been of little importance. Large bodies
of tro- ps continue to pass over the Penn
sylvania and other railroads, mostly center
ing at Washington. Some thousands have
gone on to Ilopewell, Bedford county,
probably for the purposs of operating in the
direction of Cumberland, or guarding the
*-'tate frontier against inroads from the reb
el- in Western Virginia. In Missouri the
active measures of Gen. Lyon have pro
duced a good effect on the population, many
of whom were much discouraged by the
rout of the State troops at Booneville,
where some thirty or forty rebels were kil
led and wounded. Lieut. Col. Bowman
and a sergeant were captured opposite Wil
liam.;} rt last week by the rebels, having
, foolishly gone beyond the pickets. Other
! cases of this kind have occurred at Alex
anna, Ac., and the fools are now paying
the jenalty of their rashness. General
McClellan is concentrating a large force in
Western Virginia.
In regard to the suggestion that we should
bring nut for office a few of the "democratic
toriea," we have simply to say that no su h
anomaly as a "democratic tory" is to be
found. Tort'..-: never did helon<j to the Demo
craltc jxirty, and of course do not now.—
Democrats are now, as as (hey ever have
TRUE I NIGN* MEN". The in in who is not for
the Union, no matter w hat he may profess to
be, is not and cannot Ire a Democrat.
The above is the concluding portion of
an article in the Democrat in which a small
attempt is made to ridicule our assertion
that most of those discharged from the
Philadelphia custom house were not loyal.
Of some of these men we happen to have
knowledge enough of their Yanceyism
. since the traitors fired on the flag of our
country to know that such men are no bet
ter than traitors themselves, probably
worse. As to the part quoted above, we
i have only to say that nine-tenths of all
those now in treasonable array against the
government, from the doubly-damned trait
ors of Pierce's and Buchanan's cabinets
down to the lowest cutthroat from South
Carolina, were of that class whom the
Lewistown Democrat defended as demo
i crats. And we say further, that there are
' not at the present time within the bounds
' of Miftiin county two men who advocated
Lincoln's election who either openly or
covertly give aid and comfort to the enemy;
i while on the other hand dozens of p>ersons
whom the Democrat has recognized us
democrats are insidiously incultating sen
, timents calculated to make that party re
gard the war as a /■• publican war. An
instance of this kind occurred last week
in this town, where a stranger was justify
ing the course of Southern cutthroats, and
when uniou-loving citizens justly denoun
ced this tory or traitor, it was alleged by
one claiming to be a democrat, and sileut
ly acquiesced in by others standing by,
tiiat he was denounced because he was a
democrat! We could give many other in
stances where those often recognized by
the Democrat us democrats have made ex
pressions of the most outrageous charac
, ter, but we and others have looked in vain
i for denunciation from that sheet. The
| musses of the democratic party are loyal
to the backbone, but it is equally true that
there are men now engaged iu the work
of undermining public opinion in that par
ty, and endeavoring to shape i t to the
course indicated. If these men are not
democratic tories, perhaps the Democrat
i will tell us ichat they are.
83L.1t is H gratifying fact that, while both
army and navy officers have resigned and en
tered the rebels' service by scores, not a sin
gle sailor or soldier has deserted. Whatever
motive may have actuated politicians, the
people have not forgotten the meaning of
j loyalty and patriotism.

Andrew Johnson on the Traitors.
On Tuesday of last week Hon. Andrew
Johnson of Tennessee arrived at Cincin
nati on his way to Washington, and met
with a most brilliant reception. He de
livered one of his powerful speeches to the
[ , crowd, from which we make the following
. extract, commending it to the atten
tion of those lm peaceful" gentlemen who
are endeavoring to lead the democracy into
" Ilartfurd Convention federalism
I know that there has been much said about
the North, much said about the South. lam
proud, here today, to hear the sentiments
and the language which have been uttered in
reference to the North and the South, and the
relations that exL-t between these two sections.
I am glad to hear it said in such a place as
this that the pending difficulties—i might say
the existing war—which are now upon this
country —do not grow out of any animosity
ito the local institution of any section lam
I glad to be assured that it grows out of a deter
mination to maintain the glorious principles
upon which the Government itseif rests —the
> principles Contained in the Constitution—and
j at the same time to rebuke and to bring back
j as far as may be practicable, within the pale
: of the Constitution, those individuals, or
• States ever, who have taken it upon them
■ j selves to exercise a principle and doctrine at
i war with all government, with all association
—political, moral and religious.
1 mean the doctrine of seeessiuD, which is
. ; neither mure nor less than a heresy—a fun
. : damental error—a political absurdity, com
ing in conflict with all organized government,
with everything that tends to preserve law
and order in the United States, or wherever
• else the odious and abominable doctrine mav
be attempted to be exercised. I look upon
the doctrine of secession as coining in con
flict with all organism, moral and social. 1
repeat, without regard to the peculiar insti
tution of the respective States composing this
Confederaey, without regard to any govern
, i ment that may be found in the future or ex
ists in the present, this odious doctrine of se
session sh mid be crushed out, destroyed, and
annihilated. No government can stand, no
religious, or moral, or social organization can
: stand where this doctrine is tolerated. It is
; disintegration—universal dissolvement—ma
king war upon everything that has a tenden
cy to promote and ameliorate the condition of
the mass of mankind. Therefore, I repeat
; thatthisodious and abominable doctrine—you
; must pardon me fur using a strung expression :
j —I do not say it in a profane sense—but this
i doctrine I conceive to be hell bora and hell
j bound, and one which will carry everything
in its train unless it is arrested and crushed
out from our midst.
We have arrived at that point or that per
i iod in our national history at which it has be
cotne necessary for this Government to say to j
. the civilized, as well as to the pagan world.
I whether it is in reality a Government, or
whether it is but a pretext for a Government
I If it has power to preserve its existence and
to maintain the principles of the Constitution
and the laws, that time has now arrived. It
it is a Government, that authority should be !
asserted. I say, then, let the civilized world
see that we have a Government. Let us dis
pel the delusion under which we have been
laboring since the inauguration of the Gov I
ernmentin 1780—let us show that it i> nt an
ephemeral institution ; that we have'nut im
1 agined we had a G tvernment, and when the '
test came, that the Government frittered awav |
between our tit gers and quickly faded in the •
: distance. The time has come when the G>v •
' eminent reared bv our fathers should as>ert
| itself, and give conclusive proof t > tlie civil j
ized world that it is a reality and a perpe
tuity.
The Secession Conspiracy.
Edward Everett, in a private letter, re
| ccntly published, declares his knowledge of
the fact that for thirty year-leading South
ern politicians had been resolve 1 to Lrcak
up the Union, and that the slavery ques
• tion was but a pretext for keeping up agi
tation and holding the South together.—
The New Y'ork World is informed, from a
J
trustworthy source, that one of the latest <
i occupations of the now deceased Senator
j Douglas, was the partial preparation of a
pamphlet exposing, from a personal knowl
edge similar to that from which Mr. Ev
erett speaks, the secret machinations and j
public plans of this great Southern con- .
spiracy. Before the close of this war, it .
will become self-evident to every northern
man with a grain of sense in his head that
such has been the purpose of the South- 1
; ern conspirators, and that the name of
"democracy" has been used as a eatspaw to
! effect that purpose.
fltajrlf there ever was a body of unhuDg
, traitors in existence more guilty than the se
i cession members of the Maryland Legisla ;
ture, history has made no record of it. The j
people of Maryland ought to shoot down I
these scoundrels as they would au equal num- j
i her of iuad dogs.
The National Intelligencer quotes *
from President Jefferson's message to Con- |
1 gress, urging that no additional legislative j
action is neeessary to suspend the writ of ha
beas corpus under circumstances like those
' under which the Government now exists.

Marching Orders far lite Twenty-fifth
1\ nitsyhan it Regiment.
j The Twenty-fifth, or advance regiment
of Pennsylvania volunteers, Col. 11. L.
Cake commanding, J. B. Seiht-iiuer, of
this place, Lieut. Colonel,) received march
ing orders on Sunday, but do not know
their destination. The officers and men
are in high spirits at the prospect of active
service. They have teen provided with
I tents, ambulances, transportation wagons,
and, indeed, ail the necessary equipage of
camp life. The Logan Guards and some
other companies belonging to this regi
ment remain at Fort Washington.
Large Increase of T roog/s.
Fifteen regiments arrived in Washing
ton city during the last week. They come
equipped and ready for active service.—
The force now in and around Washington
is not less than 55,000. The arrivals du
ring the present week will probably exceed
those of the last.
Rct-aiue and Protection.
Dr. U in. Elder has been appointed bv
Secretary Chase to a position in the Treas
ury, with special reference to the revenue
aud protection department, for which he
is peculiarly qualified. The Doctor is
from Pennsylvania, and lias given the iron
and other homo branches of industry
much attention in years past.
Destruction of it orty-eight JLwonwticcs.
'1 he agent of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad at Martinsburg, who left that
place on Monday, informs the Baltimore
American that on Sunday the work ofvan
; dalism ou the part of the Confederate ar
my, in the wanton destruction of the prop
erty of the Baltimore and Ohio RuilroaJ
and of the State of Maryland, wu.- resumed
at Martiusburg. All the cars and locomo
tives that they could not carry away from
Harper's Ferry were destroyed, and now
wc have tidings of the destruction of the
locomotives and cars at Martinsburg.
He states that the work of destruction
was accomplished in the most effectual
manner by piling immense quantities of
, cord wood over and around the locomotives
; and tiring it. A number of gondola ears
and coal hoppers were also similarly de
stroyed. The entire value of the proper
ty thus given to the flames cannot be less
than $400,000.
The hotel, occupied by B. H. Carpen
ter, opposite the shops of the company,
was with great difficulty saved, the intense
heat several times setting fire to it. The !
shops were not fired, though they would
have caught from the iriteuse heat had it 1
not been for the efforts of some of the em- j
ployees of the company, who were pros- '
ent and extinguished the flames. The j
agent, with the master mechanic, Mr. Ed
wards, was arrested and taken before Gen- j
; era! Julinson, who is in charge of the Con- '
federate troops at this point, charged with
! endeavoring to put out the fire over the i
! 1 -coiuotives. They proved, however, that j
they were merely preventing the flames
j from extending to the shops, and were dis
| missed.
The Confederate troops at Martinsburg
and in the vicinity are said to number five
thousand five hundred, being a p ution of
General Johnson's command from Harper's
Ferry, the advance gu; rd towards Wil
li mispoit being in command of General
Jackson. A collision with General Cad- j
wniladcr's command, which was approach
ing from several points, was confidently an- j
ticipated.

11 AGERtTow.v, June 24. —The corrc-spon- i
dent of the Associated Dress has just return
j ed from Ilarpei's Feir}*; the town wears a
look of desolati n almost inconceivable.— j
Scarcely an inhabitant is visible, and no
troops are there. The last Confederate scout j
was seen on Thursday last. On that day a '
skirmish took place between the Confederate j
scouts and the Sharpsburg Home Guard ; the '
latter was under cover of the canal and took ;
j deliberate aim at the rebels, and it was stated
at the Ferry that two of the Confederate
troops were killed and one wounded.
The best informed sources there say that a
body of 1,500 to 2,000 Confederate troops ,
are stationed about three miles from the Fer- :
ry, towards Winchester, hut they were not !
' visible either from Camp Hill Pinnacle or i
the Loudon county mountain. Your corres- I
1 pondeut saw a small scout near Shepherds- i
| town.
The Confederate' pickets no longer show j
, themselves at Shepherdstown, but they are i
; known to be concealed as near as two miles ,
back from the river, and a rumor is general i
that General Johnson, at the head of four i
; regiments, has entered the neck and is sta- >
I tioned seven miles from Williamsport. This
report needs confirmation, although it is
I generally believed at Williamsport.
Hugh Brennan, a private in company E,
I of the Twenty-fourth Pennsylvania regiment,
i was arrested fur trying to shoot Capt. Thos.
i Smith, the officer of the day, on Saturday,
in the camp of the Twenty-fourth. lie is
! now under trial by court martial, and will
s probably be shot.
John M. Stonebraker, a prominent Seces
| sionist, who held a commission in the Vir
ginia militia, endeavored to get his company
into the confederate service. Failing to do
this, he supplied General Johnson's troops
with provisions at the Ferry, he having two
brothers in the Confederate army, lie came
into Maryland on Friday and was arrested
by order of General Negley, at bis mother's
house, at Sharpsburg, where he was conceal
ed under the sofa. lie is now under strict
I guard at General Negley's quarters, and it is
! said there is the most direct evidence against
; him. Lieutenant McNeally, of the Fifteenth
, Pennsylvania Regiment, effected his arrest.

■ port: Major Doubieday's battery of heavy
I artillery, and having one gun in position, are
j on the Williamsport bluffs; Captain Perkins,
Eighth Artillery, battery of six pieces, are
| between this point and Williamsport, on tbe
! Fair Grounds; Col. Dare's, Col. Xagle's, Col.
' Ballier's and Col. Rowley's regiments are lo
i cated two m:!es from Williamsport, on the
Green cast it* road, with live companies of CAT
airy: Col. Thomas' regiment is UDC mile be
i, i low this point, on the Frederick road ; the
First Wisconsin, Fourth Connecticut, and
Eleventh Pennsylvania regiments one mile
t farther on, and the Second and Third Penn
' sylvunia regiments are twelve miles below,
1j on the Sharp sburg turnpike. The Fifteenth
_ . and sixteenth Pennsylvania regiments march
iei on Thursday night. The Twenty fourth
! Pennsylvania regiment are on their march to
