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 :

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."

THE WAR NEWS
The commander of the Resolute gun i
boat on the Potomac was caught in a trap p
by the secessionists on Thursday, which e
cost the lives of several men. 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.

l\irtu t
Sr. I.<n."is, Augu.-f 15. 1 nder date of
Sp in.: field. 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.
