Drafting the Proper Mode. The State administration we trust will at once adopt the plan of raising troops by ! drafting instead of volunteering, as the shortest mode of filling up the regiments. It is a fact that while many patriotic young and middle men are leaving their home to sustain the honor of our country and its flag, a number of those for whom these patriots are willing to face the ene mies of our country, are going about dis seminating discontent and embarking in petty party warfare as it' no danger threat ened our in-titutions. I'rafting would put some of these men into their proper posi tion. when they would either be compelled to shoulder a musket in defence of that government whose blessings they estimate so lightly, or if they furnished substitutes jt would present a fine chance for making iLese " fair-weather patriots" pay for their nigh opinion of southern traitors. The Difference. In this county the patent democracy, declining all offers of union, nominated a full ticket of the ultra school, and although the Democrat profiles not to like it, ' its editor says he is bound to swallow it, i taverns, distillery and all for the sake of party. Mifflin is a close county, and some i of the party probably flatter themselves ( that by getting up a dishonorable peace ' cry, libelling the General and State Gov- 1 emments, and circulating such secession papers as the New York Day JJook, they , can deceive Lonest people enough into a • support of their ticket aud thus elect it. In this judicial district the ease is different —a large majority being on the side of the 1 People's Party —and hence the same men who reject all offers of a Union ticket here have now a special committee at work in Union and Snyder counties with a view of inducing Shaker to withdraw as the dem ocratic candidate and running a Union or independent candidate for Judge—one too , whom not one man in a thousand i this county ever heard of. The people are ev idently to be gulled with two sauces this fall; but as they have been cheated so of ten heretofore, and bad such a recent taste of patent democracy in Jeff. Davis, Floyd, Cobb, Thompson, with a host of cowboys, it ought to be sufficient to remember that , the men who supported these Catalines in their misdeeds while in office are at work again. It may not be your fault if a man pheats ycu once, but if he cheats you a second time it is yours. The Great Loan. Our fiuancial column, says the New York Times of Friday morning, records the final and complete success of the great movement of the Government for securing means to carry on the war. The Banks of; Boston, New *i ork and Philadelphia have agreed to loan the Government owe hun dred and fifty millions of dollars. This WO believe to be the largest loan ever ne gociafed in any country at any time ; and the promptness with which it has been ta- I ken speaks louder thau cannon could pog- ' sibly do in demonstration of the loyal cour- ' age and determination of our people.— Half a dozen such defeats as that of Bull Hun would be more than offset by this sin gle aet. It will breath confidence and courage into the hearts of the people, and will satisfy foreign nations that we are not ready to surrender the Government into the hands of the traitors. The London *1 imes can now suspend for a season its sol emn warnings to Lnglish capitalists against taking the American loan. They haven't been asked to do so yet. S*si=.Soixie of the locofoco sympathizing pa pers enumerate the two dollars per month ad ditional pay to volunteers as among the new burdens imposed on the people! Verilv, these fellows are appearing in their true col ors. Answer to a '' Personal Matter. Most readers of that distinguished sheet t yciept the True Democrat, edited by an j equally distinguished individual who takes ■ a periodical fit of letting the public know that the editor of the Gazette is his " un cle," were a good deal surprised last week J at 'the tirade of silly abuse heaped upon j us. and racked their brains in vain to re member anything that had appeared in the Gazette to give occasion for a display of so 1 much bombast. We had on the previous week commented ou two articles in the Democrat —one on the outside drawn from the brains of one of those demented " dem ocratic christians" who would substitue the dogmas of hell as the teachings of heaven, O in which the purse and the sword are charged to be in the hands of abolitionists, and the other an insidious editorial artic-ie charging all the p>resent trouble?, as well as those to come, on the change the people had made in electing Abraham Lincoln instead of some Southern traitor. We construed the first a- meaning the Lincoln adminis tration and the republican party, and sta ted that such language and covert insinua tions did not sound very patriotic on the part of a professed Union man, and lily be came one holding office under that admin istration. This was the extent of our of fence to this " respectful nephew," and makes the pretext for a half column arti cle from which we take the first two para . graphs to show what an a?s an office leech can make of himself: " We are Dot aware of ever having inten tionally done aught to injure or offend (our uncle)"the editur of the Lewistown Gazette. Certain it is that, in view of the relationship, we have endeavored to avoid all cause for complaint on his part; and more than once, during the heat of political campaigns, a! lowed slurs to pass when retort was almost a duty. Ilis course towards us of late has been most extraordinary. It was certainly not our fault that his greediness for office, as mani fesied in his effort to get two good places at the same time, caused the best of the two to slip through bis fingers, even after it had been promised to him ; n ither was it our fault that, while intriguing for the postmas tersbip, he made promises which he cannot now fulfil! " Yet, having failed to accomplish our re moval from office by the ordinary processes, he now resorts to the dishonorable alternative of misrepresenting our political record and position. What he failed to accomplish by fair means, he would now do by foul ones, fie endeavors, by insidious perversions of our language, to fasten upon us the charge of " assailing" President Lincoln's administra . t J_. __ _ 1. tion. We shall not, however, bandy words j with him. The charge is false, and he knows it." J We know of no two good offices which j in our greediness" we endeavored to se- i cure, nor does any one else. Notwith-' standing our long connection with the whig , press of this State and subsequently the 1 People's Party, embracing a period of a j quarter of a century, this is the first time such a charge is made, and comes with a ' grace peculiarly refreshing from one who has been an office hunter from the day lie thought " patent democracy" would pay host—who sacrificed friend and foe alike to obtain office —and even last year submit ted to the dictation of James Buchanan either to put up Breckinridge, sell his es tablishment, or take a dismissal Irom office, with the complacency of a faithful spaniel. As to the promises we could not fulfil, , we have a brief history to give which uiay uot prove much to his credit. This res pectful nephew, after the election last year, wrote a letter suggesting that we might do him a material service and at the same time secure an office for a friend, by procuring a letter to the Secretary of the , Treasury asking that gentleman to contin ue said nephew for the time being, and not t<o discharge him until the writer was in formed of the intention to do so. His | proposition ice have in our possession in his own handwriting. During the winter ; he made it again verbally, when we agreed to carry out our part, and accordingly did so, he merely stipulating that he should be retained until July, when he agreed to resign. On the faith of this promise, which any honorable man would have re garded as sacred, ice made promises, and induced a young man to procure testimon ials of a high character with a view of lay ing them before Mr. Chase when the prop- 1 er time came. In April or May last we learnt froiu two or three sources that there | was some doubt In the miud of Mr. Henry 1 I Frysinger whether he weuld come back to | Lewistown, but it was not until June, that he intimated to the editor of the Gazette j that he had changed his mind, and coolly ! informed us that if our man had been there the week previous he might proba bly have got an office, as a number HAD BEEN discharged ! To this letter we made no reply. It will be readily seen tram this that our respectful nephew cares but little for his ' pledges. Had he gone to Mr. Chase and ! told him the circumstances, frankly stating j that he had found him less proscriptive thau was supposed—that he had made ' promises to an " uncle" which in honor he felt bound to carry out, his case might have , been different, as the Secretary would have been probably disposed to regard him with some favor; or had he offered to aid us in . obtaining some other situation for the par ty we had named,, we should have been satisfied, whether successful or not. Our promises had nothing to do with the action of the Secretary. That gentle man either could bestow the appointment as requested, or give it to some one else. We will only add that thus far we have made no effort to effect his removal, but we do sav now, after his diatribe of last week, , that if Mr. llenry Frysiuger is still in of tiee, we shall endeavor to have him remov ed. though if rumor be true somebody has saved us the trouble. The Right Move. The Grand Jury of tlie United States Circuit Court of New York last week pre sented four newspaper.- published in New York and one in Brooklyn as disloyal, and guiitv of furnishing aid and comfort to the t C w enemv of our government. The papers are the Journal of Commerce, the News, the Hay-Book, the Freeman's Journal, and the Brooklyn Eagle. The Jury state in their presentment that they are aware of the great liberty of;-peeeh and of the press allowed in a free government, but they urge that there is nevertheless a limit : " If a person in a fortress or an army were to preach to the soldiers submission to the ene • my, he would be treated as an offender.— Would he be more culpable than the citizen who, in the the rnidst of the most formidable conspiracy and rebellion, tells the conspira tors they are right, encourages them to per severe in resistance, and condemns the efforts of loyal citizens to overcome them as an 'un holy war?' If the utterance of such lan guage in the streets or through the press is not a crime, then there is a great defect in our laws, or they were not made for such an emergency." Traitors in Office. — With such an eihibi tion as the following of persons holding office at Washington, there can be no wonder that the southern traitors were advised of every important movement going on : Kncern Suspected.

Pertinent Questions. —The Maysville (Ky.) Eagle aeks the fulluwing very suggestive and j pertinent questions: Did you ever hear any of these States ; Rights men. who talk about the expenses of the war, blame the Confederates for bringing j the expeoses on us ? Did you ever hear one of them, when talk ing of Lincoln's unconstitutional act in cal- ; lir,g out troops, say anything about the un- ! constitutionality of raising an army of rebels in the South ? Did you ever hear one of them say that Jeff. Davis was trampling the Constitution under foot ? In short, did you ever hear one ot'tnemex press a patriotic thought, except uLcu forced to? srf- Jhe Armstrong ] Autocrat, the or- \ an of the party in Armstrong county, i deals with the New ork Day its fol lows . '• It is with no little astonishment we leant that person® pretending to be Democrats, are ; busilv engaged in circulating th- New York Day 1J ; >k in this county, a pipe- in the em ploy and supported by a secret, oatbbound s organization, denominated the " Knights of i the Golden Circle," who are sworn to estab- ; lish a "limited monarchy in the district; which they conquer, and extend slavery over the whole of Central America, as well as try to acquire Cuba ar.d control the Gulf of Mex- ( ieo." This paper under the guiso of a" Un ion Democratic paper" advocates only such i doctrines as are of especial moment to the ! success of the Southern rebellion, It seeks to distract the North by advocating measures of the basest and mt groveling nature, such as everv honorable citizen would shrink from with shame. It gives utterance to the bas est falsehoods and shows a recklesnes9 fully in keeping with the rebel cause in which it ; is enlisted. Those who believe in the doc- • trines advocated by the Day Book, belong to j that class of Democratic politicians who would destroy the Republic to preserve the i party, and follow a little too close on the • heels of John C. Breckinridge to be loyal to the Union. We trust the good sense of the ; entire Democracy of Armstrong county will lead them to discard the paper, and strive to j do no act tending to cripple or embarrass the General Government in its struggle to main tain the Constitution and enforce the laws, j Party zeal should not lead men blindly into a snare. The paper above referred to is one j of the most treacherous snares with which : the North has yet been attacked, as no meas ure would tend so much to the success of the rebels, as the advocacy of peace measures 1 coming from Democratic rebellion sympathize I ers in the North. Those Democrats who are aiding in the circulation of this sheet, had better turn their attention to some other em ; ployment, more befitting loyal citizens." t??L.The Honorary Degree of Master of Arts was conferred upon George F.

Proceeding 1 down the Potomac a boat filled with barrels 3 was observed on the A irgiuia shore— 1 Without using any precautions to guard 3 against surprise a boat's crew was sent ashore to bring off the boat with its con- 5 tents. No sooner had the boat approached • the shore than a destructive fire was pour- i ed into it by parties concealed in the bush- < es. Three men were killed outright and I one mortally wounded. The tire was re- ] turned from the Resolute, it was supposed < with destructive effect. So obvious a trick * ought not to have taken in the com mander of the Resolute. Governor Jackson, the runaway Execu tive of Missouri, ha- declared that State out of the Union. He has issued a docu ment which purport- to be a *• Declaration | " of Independence of the State of Missjuu j " ri," and is addressed to the people of I that State. He starts with the assumption that the Government of the United States 1 has inude war upon Afissouri, and after a long tissue of falsehoods relative to what he calls the usurpations of the " Lincoln j Government," he declares the connection of the State with the Union sundered, in virtue of the discretionary authority con i ferred upon him by the Legislature—his \ action to be subject, however, to the ratifi : cation of the people at the ballot box, at I such time as their impartial verdict can be ' obtained.

Serrill, a violent secessionist, who came as a passenger in the steamer I from England, was arrested at the instance of' the Government. He had with him £45,000 sterling in Bank of England notes, . the proceeds of a loan from the Confeder ate States. Mr. Serrill is a New Orleans j 1 man, of fifty years of age, and very wealthy, j I A number of letters and important papers J , were found in his possession. Mr. Muir, brother of the British consul at New Orleans, was arrested at New York with confederate papers in his possession, i The State of Public Sentiment in 'Texas Gov.

WASHINGTON, August 15. —Reliable private advices from Texas, dated on the ultimo, represent the Union sentiment . as rather on the increase, and this becomes evident as the true state of the agitating i question is better understood ; and further, < i that it would extensively be manifested j could Federal protection be afforded 1 ! against the oppressions of the disunion- I ists. j The newspapers of that State have per verted the statements made by General j Houston from time to time, as it is posi lively known lie lias no sympathy with se cession.

August 1". the correspondent I ul the St. i/uais Democrat furnishes a tie- 1 tailed account of tile battle ot Wilsons i Creek. The main facts are the same as . those already telegraphed. The enemy's I camp extended along the creek for three miles, enclosed by high grounds on each I side, upon which a greater part of the en • cageuient was fought. It does not appear that the Rebels were driven back any con | siderable distance, but their charges were 1 all repulsed, and they burnt a large j j amount of their camp equipage and bag | gage to prevent its capture. The enemy had twenty one pieces of artillery and a ; large body of cavalry. Gen. Seigcl attacked the rebels from the : southeast as soon as he heard from Gen. Lyon's command, and drove them back half a mile, taking possession of their camp, which extended westward to the Fayette j vtlle road. Here a terrible fire was poured into his ranks by a regiment he had per mitted to advance within a few paces, sup ■ posing it was the lowa First Regiment.— His men thus taken by surprise were scat tered considerably, and Col. Saloman's men could not be rallied immediately, conse quently Gen. Seigel lost five of his guns — the other being brought away by Capt. Flagg, who compelled his prisoners to drag it off the field. Our troops captured about four hundred horses. Our loss is about 400 killed and wound ed. That of the enemy cannot be less than double onrs, their force having mov ed in larger bodies and our artillery playing I on them with terrible effect; Lieut. Col. Brand, who commanded the Rebel force at j 1 Boonesville, and since acted as Aid to Gen. j i l > rice, was taken prisoner. The body of Gen. has been em- ! balmed for conveyance to his friends ia Connecticut. NEW YORK, August 19.—There are now forty eight regiments forming in this j j city. Several are full and the rest range from 200 to 650 men. The full and in-1 complete regiments will doubtless soon be forwarded as rnpidly as possible, the latter being merged so as to form full regiments. Recruiting is going on to-day rapidly, and this city can probabably send 15,0u0 men to the seat of war in a few days. Over 600 men responded at the roll call of the Ellsworth Fire Zouaves to-day, and men are continually reporting themselves, i so that the reorganization of the regiment will be effected without difficulty. PHILADELPHIA, August 19 —There are j now some thirty-one regiments in this city in the process of formation, compcsed at present of an average of three companies 1 each. The late army order will doubtless 1 have the effect ot merging these regiments. ] and Philadelphia will soon be able to send forward to the defence of the country an . army of nine or ten thousand more men. ■ A number of Colonels of various unor ganized regiments in this city met Colonel Slifer, Secretary of the State, this even ing, and reported as to the number and condition of their troops. Companies suf ficient to farm four full regiments were re ported ready to march immediately, and others will rapidly follow according to or ders. There are at least 15,000 troops ready in the city of Philadelphia for active service. BOSTON, August 19.—1t is probable that five new regiments will leave here this week. New Hampshire will shortly send three regiments and a battery of artillery. From St. Louis we learn that General Lyon's army had reached Bulla on Satur day in geod condition. Major Sturges had taken command. It is definitely as certained that the Confederates had in this action 14,000 well disciplined men ; and 10,000 irregular troops. The Confeder ates had seut a flag of truce to Major Stur ges, ostensibly to treat for an exchange of prisoners, but really, as it was thought, to gain information of his condition. The Boston banks have agreed to take . ten millions, and the country banks of Mas sachusetts five millions, as the first instul meut of the loan. Despatches from the Northern cities re port that preparationsare making to forward immediately to Washington large numbers of troops. The schooner Ilannibal. arrived at New \ ork from £t. Thomas, brings a report that the privateer Sumter had been captur ed by a United States man-of-war and ta keu back to Curaeoa. The report needs some confirmation. The Louisville Courier states that lion George W. Bridges, elected to the Tinted States Congress from East Tennessee, was arrested by the secessionists of Tennessee. Gen Shields, of California, formerly a Senator from Minnesota, and who distin guished himself in the Mexican war, has been appointed a Brigadier General by the President. Pierce Butler, a rich citizen of Phila delphia, and known to the world some years back as the husband of Fanny Kern ble Butler, was arrested on Monday by order of the State Department and seut to Fort Hamilton, New York. The arrest of Pierce Butler was follow ed by the arrest of Hon. Ww. Heed, late Minister to China, George M. Wharton, late I . S. District Attorney.
