Tiie Work of Treason
The enormity of the Southern rebellion
and the evils it will entail on both sec-
tions, whether as one or two governments,
will only be felt as time progresses. Here
tofore duties on imports have sufficed to
prevent direct taxation for government pur
poses, and although State, county, and dis
trict taxes were considered onerous, by too
many who did not realize the blessings we
enjoyed when compared with European
government, all this must soon be changed
as the natural result of the wicked, the
hellish acts of the Southern conspirators.
J>ebts will be created, taxes levied and col
lected, and the general expenses increased
in many ways, among others that of being
prepared for war on a large scale—for now
that it has been shown that a few bad men,
banded together by Cataline oaths, can
first destroy a national party organization,
as was done at Charleston last year, and
then plunge States into rebellion and an
attack on the general government's for
tresses, the prestige of that public opinion
which so long ruled and preserved us in
peace is gone, and gone, we fear, forever.
Hie bullet and bayonet must now enforce
the decrees of law as they do in Europe—
the sword take the place of the staff of of
fice. Other evils too, of a demoralizing
nature, wiil follow, so that even the pres
ent generation will yet startle into wonder
that all good men North, South, East and
W est, did not rise up in Cyclopean power
at thp outset and strike down all the foul
mouths tainted with treason even in the
remotest degree.
B£r<„ihc locofoco papers continue to
trouble themselves about Harvey, who it
is alleged was in correspondence with the
South Carolina rebels. The poor fellows
must have something to bark at in Lin
coln's administration, but for all that Old
Abe will do his duty without consulting
-t* It would better become most of
political mount banks to do penance
ir former sins in upholding Havis,
■loyd, Thompson, and other trait
n to talk of that of which they
itliing.
is said Jef Davis has an agent in ai
ry county in this State ! Who is his
' in Mifflin ?
- ' in Spoken Democrat.— The Doylstown
•t gives President Lincoln's war mes
i unqualified endorsement, and eor
..proves of the policy recommended
.' -i; It utoar.-3 that after the President's
.ii; i honest statement of his policy in
Fort Sumter, the man who calls
Lincoln war," ought to be set down
a traitor or a fool.
Pay of Volunteers.
< 'onsiderable difficulty and detention hare
occurred at Ilarrisburg in paying off the
three months men, and as usual the State
administration comes in for a share oi
abase on the part of knave politicians
The State administration hxs nothing
whatever to do with the matter. We do
not know all actual difficulties, but have j
seen it stated the principal cause of delay
was that the pay rolls were not made out
according to law by those whose duty it
was, and to shield themselves for their
carelessness or ignorance they would ol
course throw the blame on somebody else.
For a day or two the specie funds had
run out, but we are assured had the rolls
been properly furnished, notwithstanding
the large number of troop? at Ilarrisburg,
the detention would not have been more
than a day or two in any case. Payuias- j
tors may at times be upstarts who think
themselves above the rest of creation, but.j
certain it is they have but one guide to go
by, and that is to follow the law, as any de
viation from it would be at the expense ol
their own pockets.
Inducement to Volunteers.
A BOUNTY FOR RE-ENLISTMENT. —The
inducements which the government offers
for recruits are as follows :
When an entire regiment re-enlists, a
bounty of fifty dollars wiil be paid to ev- j
cry man immediately after the re-organiza
tion and mustering into service of the new
regiment.
When a full company offers its service
and is received and sworn into service, a
bounty of forty dollars are paid to each '
man.
To new recruits and individual enlist- j
incut, thirty dollars are paid to each man.
With these great encouragements, and
the still greater inducement of danger to
a country and laws which we all love and
respect, we expect to .see a great many reg
iments organized and on their return to the
scene of action in a very few days.
The New Tariff
As much misrepresentation is made by
the self-styled democratic papers respecting i
the proposed, tariff, we publish a schedule j
of the leading articles as passed by the ;
House. In the .Senate, the duty on coffee
has been reduced to 1 cents. From this
table any one can see that the actual in
crease will not make sugars dearer than
they were a few years ago under the boast
ed democratic tariff in times of peace and
with the New Orleans crop in competition.
Iron lias not yet been changed.

LOCAL. AFFAIRS
RECEPTION OF THE LOUA.N GUARDS. —
After patiently waiting for several days,
information was finally received on Mon
day evening that our pioneer company
would return in the early train on Tuesday,
and the town at once became enlivened
by the news and preparation made for their
reception. At three o'clock in the morn
ing the bells were rung, and in a short
time the ladies, the Lewistown Band, the
Slemmer Guards, most of our citizens, with
hundreds of children, congregated on the
public square and from thence proceeded
to the railway station. On the arrival of
the train, they were warmly greeted, and
escorted into town iu the following order:
Chief Marshal—Band and Music—Com
mittee of Arrangements, Orator and Cler
gy —SJetnmer Guards —34 young ladies
dressed in white, with tri color rosettes
and badges representing the States in the
I nion, headed by a young lady dressed in
red, white and blue, representing the god
dess of liberty—ladies, citizens, Ac. On
reaching the square the military proceeded
through a portion of town, and returned
to the Court House where they were wel
comed in an eloquent address by the Rev.
Mr. McMurray, who, at our special request,
consented to furnish us with a copy:
Honored Me tubers of the Logan Guards—
When, on the 17th of Aprii you left us, at |
the call of the Executive, in the hour of ana- j
tion's peril—and such a nation as the world
lias never seen—whose forts, arsenals, and
custom houses had been seized ; its treasury
plundered ; its time-honored flag supplanted,
in one section cd' the Union, by treason's ig
noble banner: its constitution, the t'reat !
charter of American liberty, reviled, broken,
and thrust aside; its proud capitol menaced bv
armed rebellion, and threatened with instant
ruin, when, on that memorable day you left
our midst, counting not your own lives as
dear, to defend that nation's honor, its flag, 1
its Constitution, its capitol, there were anx
ious, aching hearts that followed, and went
along with you. The mother parted with
her son, imprinting a mother's kiss, with glis
tening tear in her eye, her heart yearning af
ter him, whom, as a living son, she might
never see again : so the wife a husband, sis
ters a brother, children a father. All hearts i
were moved, patriot hearts that beat in uni
son with your own—Christian hearts which i
sent up to the Great Father in Heaven an ]
earnest prayer for your safe return.
It was a time of danger. Our country, the i
rich legacy bequeathed us by the sires and
sages of the revolution, unparalleled in all j
that can render a nation distinguished and
blessed ; was in extreme peril. The nation's
life seemed trembling in the balance. And i
corresponding to the peril of the nation was j
that of the brave men who rallied in her de- !
fence; and greatest peril to those who led the j
van—an honor, which pertains to our noble ;
" Keystone State" and the Logan Guards oj"
la: If i.stow tt.
Yours was not the patriotism that hides it i
self away in the corner, nor that which blus
ters like a demagogue, or craws like a craven;
which makes nrt sacrifices, incurs no ri-k,
braves no danger. Iot a> the fathers of the
Revolution, reposing not on a bed of down,
but by their blood and self-sacrificing toil,
wrenched the set pin- from the tyi ant's band,
drove buck the oppr-i'--i>r, and achieved i :
us the blessings of freed on -carter ! ah >ut
our feet; so, in like manner, re dining not at
your own firesides but with bear's in which
the patriotic fires burned as in the days which
"tried men's soul.-," \ou rushed forward to
the rescue; rea ly to be immolated at the
shrine of the <7 ddess i Liberty, '-mbL-uia
t zed here in the beautiful figure ofAt royal
queen, with her thirty-four maids of 1; nor,
representing the States of the Union—ready
to be immolated if need be, to preserve that
liberty inviolate, and the escutcheon of our
nations glory untarnished.
It may be gratifying to state, that in your
absence, not only from the seclusion of the ]
closet, around the domestic altar, and from
the several pulpits of the place, tut in stated
special meetings united prayers have been of- j
fered to Almighty God for your personal safe J
tv, as for that of the nation itself.
And now, gentlemen, soldiers, we are per- •
mitted to extend you a cordial greeting, and
welcome your return —a safe return —not one j
having fallen, not one disgraced ; your own j
honor unimpe&ehed : the honor of your coun- i
try's flag unsullied as committed to your j
hands. That banner, too, as upborne by oth
er hands as loyal and with hearts as brave, !
triumphant on every battle field, the treach
erous foe fleeing from its approach, until the !
late repulse at Manassas. That terrible dis
aster to your companions in arms, contending j
with superior force, environed by lines of j
formidable and masked batteries, after sever
a! brilliant victories in desperate encounter,
and great loss of life, has saddened everv
loyal heart, and overspread the country with ,
gloom. But the end is not yet. In an une- I
qual contest we have suffered loss while treas
on has gathered strength by a temporary suc
cess. Were the contest indeed to stop here, 1
it must of course be in the triumph of rebel- !
lion; and in less than thirty days, perhaps, j
the despots and oligarchies of Europe would
acknowledge the Southern Confederacy; the j
United States government would soon be com- j
polled to do the same ; and not only so, but
succumb to its dictation, accept its own terms,
be degraded in the eyes of the world, and be
come an inferior power even on the American \
continent. That would be the inevitable re
suit of withdrawing from the contest, under !
the present disaster. But who is prepared
for such a result? With men as brave, and ;
three times their number; with all the treas- ;
ur'.s and sinews of war at our command; with
a national prestige to vindicate; with the
brightest record on the page of history to
maintain ; with the blood of an heroic ances- !
try coursing through our veins; the ashes of
renowned patriots speaking to us from the j
grave, and the American Eagle shrieking in
his distress from the air of freedom—we are
not prepared for such a Lite. Not one of you,
I am sure, is prepared or willing to accept it.
No; the contest must go on. Manassas, the
modern Sebaatopol, must be taken; and there
is nc doubt it can be, and will be ; and then
Richmond and Norfolk; and with the foe
driven from the " Old Dominion," pursued, j
until he finds an ignoble grave in the nest !
where treason was hatched.
While, then, on behalf of the citizens of
Lewistown, I bid you welcome—a welcome, |
though expressed in words, no words are ad- !
equate to express—a welcome of hands and .
a welcome of heart* — welcome t~ our midst
—welcome to our homes—to y ur \vn homes
—and to the embrace of 1 ved f ne* who long
to greet you as they e ;nn t here in pub
lic;—while we thus hid you u me
lt is in the expectation that ;•.? cur c ua
i try still bleeds, and your ■ uipauions
are yet in the lield. and tin- danger tixne
imminent, with the same he; ion. me same
bravery of soul, the same patti>itic tires burn
ing, and an acquired dGcipiim' for effective
service, many, it not met t v u wiit return
to the field of acti n, and that \ u will go
multiplied in numbers. !•' --niost • ti : ■ res
cue at the outbreak r 'f !'• >r:' ties, stand hy
your country's flag ai d your • -jutry's cause
to the last.
Already have you set a most noble exam
ple to the nation as ;t ; prompt ami brave d*
fenders ; but then your ex uup!-.- ■vi i he en
nobled a hundred laid ;h p • • f the histo
rian will record it for the eye i f p. storiiy to
gaze upon, ami its influence will go, down
j and be felt in the ages and centuries of the
coming future. Like the rocks of T iter mop
ylre, which stand as memorial altars where
three hundred martyrs to iir.. j-rv were immo
lated. and by which succeeding generations
have sworn eternal oninitv to tyranny—like
rite name of Tell, w! ich shall ntv-r cease to
: be the banner cry < f Switz rland until the
i fires of the judgment -shall ni dt down her
eternal glaziers—like the nam >s t,f Wallace
and Bruce, which shall echo am mg the liigh
; lands of Scotland until the mountains rhali
| melt as was at the presence of the Lord—
| like Leonidas, and llegulus. and Bayard, and
| Sidney, and iVashinylou, who not only put
their lives in j ..partly for the salvation of
their couutrv, but set an example which, if
faithfully followed, would soon rid the world
of its monster tyrants, and erect on every
hilltop "altars flaming with the incense of
freedom"—like these, your example will be
felt and your memories will be cherished
| As we of the ut delight to honor the
memory of the heroic dead, so will yon be
honored by generations yet to come. The
present honored reception that greets vou,
however flattering, but feebly indicates the
meed of honor that awaits you—of which
: posterity shall deem you worthy,
i In conclusion, let me say, may you live,
may I live, may we all live, to see that "Sl.tr
Sjtanylcd Banner," revered in song—with no
: one star stricken from the c nsLilafiun, and
no ono stripe from the original thirteen—
floating aloft frt/rn every ram oar t, dome and
hilltop, front every no, k and curtu r ... this
broad land ; and from every port and m i-t
head on sea and river. An i then shall be
developed in a new firm, demonstrated to
th eyes by the w .rid; not the inherent weak
ness, but the inherent pote r if a free yawn
•unit, to maintain i?s own • .:b-t';v and to
preserve the liberties of its people, the .inter
ieau Republic occupying a loftier rank among
the nations, becoming a power in the earth
, am'waled among the powers that be—a ter
ror to despots—a beacon light to the oppres
sed- - tli" almoner of liberty to enslaved hu
manity form the li-ing to the setting sun.
Honored members of the Logan Guards!

Mr. Parker then announced that av
rangements had been made for a dinner at
the Court House on Friday afternoon at
three o'clock, for the Logan Guards and
the Hums Infantry, Cupt. Zollinger, and
also that tho latter company would be re
ceived in the sauie manner as the Guards
had been. Three cheer- and a ti.-er were
then given for our country, and subse
quently the Loaan ' i ends gave a similar
approbation to the R v. Mr. MeMnr.iv

no fr: ;nd of theirs, for if he is and all
friends would do so, we should have a con
tinual . cone of drunkeniK-.-s. ana then well
might those patriotic men exclaim, u Lead

to the welfare of all, would it not be well
for our leading citizens to unite in a body
and for the present at least request the
closing of ail drinking houses and stores
where liquor is sold, at eight o'clock in the
evening, or even an earlier hour. Better
this than that one man should be led astray.
TOWN COUNCIL. —A meeting of the
Town Council was held on the 23d to con
sider the propriety of granting 350 for pro
viding a supper for the Logan Guards,
when the following resolution was unani
mously adopted :
Resolved, That SSO be appropriated to
wards furnishing a supper for the Logan
Guards; provided that the Chief Burgess as
certain, before making out said order, that
the Town Council has power to grant money
for such purposes.
ACCIDFNT. —Jennie, an interesting
child of James A. Murray, foil a consider
able distance from the stairway to the floor
last week, breaking Iter thigh bone and sus
taining some other injuries. The limb was
set by Dr. VanValzah, and the little suf
ferer is now doing well.
fQf The body of A. Gregg Neff, a mem
ber of the Bellefocte Fencibles, who died
at Ilarrisburg last week of typhoid fever,
was forwarded to the home of his mother,
near Potter's Bank, on Monday last. He
was a young man, and formerly in the em
ploy of George Blymyer of this place.

LIKUT. J.VSIKS S. ]> It lis Ji I x. —This gal
lant young Peniisylvanian, who has been
in this town with his relative, S. J. Bris
: bin, for some days, was among the earliest
appointments of the Secretary of War, and '
: distinguished himself during the late se- j
verc contest at Bull Jiun in a manner that
reflects credit alike upon himself and the
service. In the account of the battle pub
. li-hetl in the Baltimore Sun, he i- thus al
luded to:
"This officer hud three men shot while en- '
ieavuring t 1 .-top tie- r treat, and he himself;
perfiruied gallant servi.-c in this way alter
having received the following wounds: A

A corrcspoiulent ol the New ork ;
j World corroborates the above with the fol
lowing additional statement of fact and
1 compliment:
" The sight of Miles* reserve drawn up on
| the hills at Cent rev ille, supporting a full bat
I tery of field pieces, and the efforts of tbe few
j officers still faithful to their trust, encouraged
j many of the fugitive infantry to seek their
j own eamps and go no f'uther. But a majori
ty pushed on to a point near the lat" site of
Germantown, where Lieutenant Bri.-bin had
formed a line of Hunt's artillerists across the
: road, and repulsed all who attempted to
; break through I particularly request atten
! tion to the services thus rendered by thisloy
' ai young officer."

For the (jazelt".
Among the Logan Guards we are pleased
: to recognize our young friend William T. Me
| Ewen. Having served five years in the 2d U.
; S. 1. avalry and been honorably discharged by
Oapt. Jas. Oakes, Mr. McEwen, in tin- hour
of his country's danger promptly voluntered
his services, and marched to Washington in
April last with the Logan Guards. His
friends would be gratified to see him appoint
ed a conimisiened officer, for which his taste
and experience so admirably qualify him. lie
would -make an excellent cavalry officer, a
branch of tbe service in which the army is
known to be deficient. We would therefore
suggest to the new company now being form
ed in the valley the name of this young gen
tleman, as one of its officers, lie would
make an efficient one.

ceedings of Congress of the 11th as follows :
" Free speech gagged—No compromise—Sla

President to be realized—Outrageous pro
ceedings." There is evidently a rivalry be
tween Beauregard, Jef Davis and their tools
in the North who can lie the best.
