Christian Charity.
In the struggle for place and power
which the Yallandigham tories are mak
ing, they seem to be on the high road to
wards ignoring the plainest precepts of the
Christian religion and discarding even that
feeling of charit} r which in some measure
prevades all classes. If some philanthro- j
pist, taking advantage of the effects of the
war in the South, goes among the benight- i
ed sons of Africa, opens a Sabbath School
wherein the same exercises are conducted
as in ours; if, out of pure benevolence, he
opens a week day-school to teach all to '
read and write, these Jacobites cry out abo- 1
litionist! If the government employs the
negroes and pays for their labor, they cen- 1
sure it for making the " negroes equal to
the white man;" if it does not employ
them, and the poor beings, not knowing
what to do, lay round like others in the
same situation, they howl forth " lazy nig
gers !" Such arc the teachings of those
papers which, like the cutthroat Breckin
ridge, have much to sly about ''democracy/'
violations of the Constitution by Lincoln's
administration, and law and order, buti>e?-y
little agaiust those who have subverted the !
constitution, destroyed all law, and brought
the South into nearly the same state in
which France was in the midst of its
bloody revolution, when it was solemnly
proclaimed " There was no God." The
missionary societies in this country are
constantly sending out teachers to educate
and christianize the heathen of other dimes
—among them Mr. Wiley in China, and
Mrs. Uueugst in India—but ours it seems
is the only land vhcre it is a crime to
teach men, women, or children to read the
word of God, and, according to these teach
ers of democracy, the men who do so, with
out pay or reward, are FANATICS; and this
is done under the pretext that barbarous
:State laws, tolerated as in force, though
.contrary to the letter and spirit of the Consti
tution of the United States, while loyal,
are binding on the government t>hen those
States which enacted them are DISLOYAL.
Most of those who promulgate these infa
mous doctrines are a set of beggarly office
hjinters, destitute of principle and of truth,
honest only as long as it is their interest
to be so, and have little to lose; but it well
becomes farmers, merchants, and men of
property, who have something to lose, to
beware of aiding ox abetting the designs
of these men—for unless the pages of his
tory have falsified the downfall of nations,
there is imminent danger that the present
generation will witness the devastations of
war in Pennsylvania, as Virginia is desola
ted now, if those who stood by the perjured
traitors of Buchanan's administration are
again restored to power.
Was-If that great philosopher, Ben Frank
lin, were now living, he would have a hard
time among the patent locofocos, he having
been the founder of the Pennsylvania Anti-
Slavery Society, an institution still in exis
tence in Philadelphia
Democracy as it Was, aad as South- !
em Panderers want it to be again- j
The Lewistown Democrat, Buchanan s ;
officeholders generally, and a batch of office- |
hunters, are just r.ow busily engaged in in- j
stilling into the minds of the people the
specious plea that their party must be re
stored to power. In order that the people
may act understandingly in the matter, we j
propose to show, by quotations from that .
paper, what a beautiful thing that patent i
democracy was which they say must again
be restored to power in order to give peace.
In that paper of the 28th February, 1861,
but little more than a year ago, will be
found the following editorial:
Attitude of the Southern Confederacy.
Some of the Republican papers are endeav
oring to reinvigorate the drooping spirit of
coercion by representing the speeches of
JEFFERSON DAVIS, President of the new
Southern Confederacy, as breathing defiance
and inviting war. The Tribune says that
Mr. DAVIS talks of war as a " welcome con
tingency," and it urges more extensive pre
paration in the Northern States than have
yet been made. It seeks to convey the im
pression that the Northern States are abso
lutely in danger of an attack from the troops
of the Southern Confederacy, with the evi
dent intention of inducing military prepar
ations by the North. Now nothing could be
more false and dangerous than these state
meats. The inaugural address of Mr. DAVIS
does not contain a single word which even
hints at aggressive war. On the contrary,
he states clearly and explicitly the desire of
the separated States for a peaceful recognition
of their independence. If words like these
can be tortured into menace of the North, we
are at a loss to understand how. Mr. Davis
says: "As a necessity, not a choice, we
" have resorted to the remedy of separation,
" and henceforth our energies must be direct
"ed to the conduct of our own affairs, and
" the perpetuity of the Confederacy which we
j " have formed. If a just perception of mu
" tual interest shall permit us peaceably to
" pursue our separate political career, my
" most earnest desire will have been fulfilled.
" But if this be denied us. and the integrity
"of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed,
" it will but remain for us, with firm resolve,
"to appeal to arms, and invoke the blessing
" of Providence on a just cause."
The substance of this language is, that the
separated States are in earnest, that they de
sire peace, but if they are attacked they will
defend themselves. They don't threaten to
make war upon the Government, but if the
Government attempts to coerce them, then
they will resist—and their separate Confed
eracy would be a ridiculous farce if they did
not. There can be no war without the North
insists upon it.
It will be seen that the arch traitor and
cutthroat Jef Davis was as ably defended
as he would have been by one of his own
sattelites at the South, and that the agrari
an doctrine of non-coercion—the last hell
conceived idea of the band of perjured vil
lains then at work to destroy this govern
ment and create a Slave Despotism in its
stead—is not ouly endors/d, but the trait
orous seutiment uttered that if war would
ensue, it would be the fault of the, North I
People of Mifflin county, men of property
who have something to lose, patriotic citi
zens, aye all whodesire to have their children
live under a great, glorious and prosperous
country, such as ours was before thieves
and traitors ruled it iu the name of democ
racy, are you willing that such democracy
shall be restored to power? Will you act
with such people in county meetings or
county conventions, or will you- vote for
their nominees for office ? Though more
cautious now than they were-then, the clo
ven foot of aoucessiou to the rebels is al
ready advocated by a hew who expect to be
rewarded with a. postmaaiership or clerkship
j for their devotion to those who deserve ex-
I termination for their infamy in plunging
! this once happy country into a rebellion
greater than the world had ever seen. Aid
these men by your countenance and sup
| port, and the first President that will be
! elected under their patronage will carry
out the infamous doctrine of non-coercion,
i and State after State will separate from this
confederacy until at last the tories of Mary
land will even block up the highway to
your capitol, as the Baltimore mob attempt
ed to do last year. Aid these men and,
on the first appearance of another rebellion,
iron Monitors will be found in the hands
of Tatnalls or Ilollinses who will Lave no
scruples about delivering them up to South
ern conspirators, and thus be prepared to
enter on a war in which Pennsylvania will
I be the battle-field instead of slave territory.
Take warning by the past, and be not
again misled and deceived by men who
seemingly have lost all reverence for our
institutions as formed by our forefathers,
and in their thirst for office have led you
from one step to another until they had
nearly made you the allies or tools of the
worst traitors the world ever saw.

thoroughly crushed and broken without
I beeping up the bitter spirit of party, go to

gan that will advocate better doctrines than
the one you have, at least something that
1 will sound more like genuine democracy
than that taught by the Yanceys, Cobbs,
Floyds, Thompsons, and last, but not least,
the now drunkard and apostate Breokin
ridge.
NON-COERCION is DISUNION,
, nothing more, nothing less.
The Lewistown (True?) Democrat
From the reputation the editor of tht
above concern is obtaining, it is hardly
worth while to point out its debased and
wilful falsifications, but to show what an
unscrupulous hand he is, especially on the
nigger, we will briefly refer to a tirade of
nonsense published last week respecting
the employment of contrabands at tbe
Cambria Iron Works. The Indiana Dem
ocrat first made the charge that " several
contrabands" were employed at the works
at 25 cents a day, and that the hands in
the mill had quit work, &c. This the
Lewistown Democrat magnified into em
ploying contrabands and discharging white
men, leaving off " several," which word is
taken to mean three, four, five or six, and
thereupon launches into a homily about
the poor white man being sent adrift with
out a field in which to toil. The Indiana
editor two weeks ago came out in a recan
tation of the whole stor}', and as wc think
that paper is received in exchange at the
Democrat office, the recantation was proba
bably seen before the additions were manu
factured. A friend in Cambria county,
who happened to see the Lewistown Dem
ocrat with its characteristic article in it,
writes to us as follows :
" Should you see fit to reply to the mean
political Blander put forth in the last 3>emo
crat about the Republican party and its pro
fessions of protection to the free labor of the
North, you may say that its assertion concern
ing the Cambria iron Works is a lie out oj the
whole cloth— there being no more truth in the
Btory than if it were that the Company had
employed the Democrats scribblers to do the
business of the concern. The only founda
tion for it that I can give, is the fact of the
arrival in Johnstown soon after the retreat
of Banks, of four contrabands from Virginia
—two of whom were employed for two days
by a worthy Republican citizen, Mr. John
Beam, in gathering cobble stones in the bed
of one of the streams which pass through our
borough, at so much iter load, for the purpose
of street paving. A third was temporarily
employed at one of our hotel stables, and the
fourth is yet in the employ cf a leading Dem
ocrat on his farm a mile out of town !"
The truth is all thess stories about con
trabands taking the place of white men in
laboring arc wholesale falsehoods. There
may be a few in this county, though we
do not know of one, but if there arc, in
nine cases out of ten they are employed at
work which white men cannot be obtained
to do. And this no doubt is the case
throughout the State.

Picayune Butler continues his lessons to

a traitor for cutting down the American flag,
and also tw > of our men who had engaged

—Thomas C. McDowell, who wasn't at the
fight near Winchester when Col. Murray fell,

B£&„Some doughfaces at 11 irrisburg were
tampering last week with suue of the :ebel
prisoners to aid their escape from Camp Cur
tin. There are men in this State who will
yet taste a rope's cud tor their toryism.
Charles D. Murray, editor of the Eb
ensburg Democrat and Sentinel, died last week
from the effects of a fall into a cellar way—
another victim, we judge from an article in
the Tribune, to intemperance.
B@It is now generally conceded that gross
injustice was done Gen. Casey and his men,
they having fought long and well five times
their number, and made terrible havoc in the
ranks of the traitors.
SPMn Indiana the patent democracy are
equally opposed to Northern abolitionists and
Southern rebels! This is but one step remov
ed from toryism. for a man may hold aboli
tion opinions and be a good citizen still; and
hence he who regards him as no better than
one of Jef Davis's cutthroats, is a fit subject
for "treason, stratagem and spoils."
Supreme Court of this State has
reversed the decision of the Blair county
court giving the widow Royer ths right of
dower in property sold by the Sheriff for the
debts of her husband. Had that decision been
sustained, a dower would have been an exemp
tion. As the law now stands, the widow's
dower is liable for debts of her husband in all
case# except in a sale under a voluntary as
signment for the benefit of creditors.
Igj-The Blair County Whig, in urging the
Commissioners to put up a Town Clock, says:
"What stranger is not struck with the gran
deur of the ring of the County Clock, on vis
iting Lewistown? He thinks it a city, a place
of intelligence, respectability and wealth,
surrounded by rich and well cultivated lands
and liberal farmers. Are we not equal to
her? Who dare say we are not?" The
Hollidaysburg Standard says it thinks
SIOOO would defray the expense. ,It will not
cost more than half that sum.
Jgy-Parson Brownlow, ip his speech at
Philadelphia, paid the following compliment
to northern doughfaces: " If," said he "he
owed the devil a debt to be discharged and it
■was to be discharged by the rendering up to
him a dozen of the meanest, most revolting, and
God forsaken wretches that ever could be called
from the ranks of depraved human society,
and he wanted to pay that debt and get a pre
mium upon the payment, he would make a
tender to his Satanic Majesty of twelve North
ern men who sympathized with this infernal
rebellion."
WAR NEWS.
The war news continues unimportant,
though events plainly indicate that decisive
action must soon take place at Richmond, or
onr men suffer greatly from the heat.
We have news from New Orleans by the
arrival at New York of the Ocean Queen to
the 11th inst. She brings as a State prisoner
Pierre Soule, ex United States Senator from
Louisiana. The health of New Orleans con
tinued good, and good order prevailed. Quite
a number of vessels had arrived from domes
tic and foreign ports. Eighteen hundred fam
ilies were supplied with provisions on the
10th inst. by the Government authorities.
On the steamer Fox, captured near New
Orieaus, were found two bags of mail matter.
In the mail was a correspondence between
parties in Europe and Mens. Deynoodt, the
Belgian Consul at New Orleans, implicating
the latter in running cotton through the
blockade. Gen Butler sent for M. Deyooodt
and acquainted him with having the letters.
M. Deynoodt protested his innocence of the
charge ; but the correspondence was strongly
against him, and Gen. Butler has referred
the matter to the State Department.
The Rebel Maryland Regiment is said to
have lost upwards of one hundred in killed
aud wounded in the battle of Cross Keys and
Port Republic. Several of them were also
taken prisoners and have arrived at Wash
ingtnn.
Deserters state that the Rebels have built
three new batteries, and one of them a subma
rine battery. The latter consists of four
tanks of boiler iron, each holding twenty five
hundred pounds of powder, strung across the
channel, one connected with the other, and j
a wire running through them, properly en
cased and leading up the bank, where an j
operator is stationed to explode thein. They :
have put this battery a short distance below J
Chapin's Bluff.
Scouting parties from the Eleventh Virgin- j
ia Regiment, sent into Roane county a few j
days since, did good service in scattering ■
guerillas. Oue party killed eleven, including j
the notoeious guerilla leader, Capt. Downs. '
Surgeon Hays, of the 110 th Pennsylvania, j
who was dismissed from the service for al j
leged neglect to the wounded received on
Saturday from Front Royal, is cut in a card,
in which he calls on all the assistant suigeons
and soldiers to confirm that he did not neg
lect them in anywise ; that he had been with
them two days and nights, and that he tele
graphed to the Surgeon General twice that <
the train would arrive here at the time it did,
with the wounded, and that he was not res
ponsible for the results of tfce entire neglect
of the despatches sent to his superior officers.
Richmond papers received at Fortress
Monroe contain some accounts in relation to
the recent battle near Charleston. It is des
cribed as a bloody affair, lasting all day, and
the Mercury expresses apprehensions in re
lation to the renewal < f the fight in view of
the great exhaustion of the Southern troops
and the many officers killed. The battle took
place within four miles of the city.
OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE WHITE
RIVER BATTLE.
Eight Guns and Ammunition Captured.
WASHINGTON, June 21.
The following was rce dved at the War Do
part'.nent to day :
Saint Charles, While liter. Ark., June 17, 1
via Cairo J one 21. )
On arriving eight mii- s below here last
evening, we ascertained that the enemy had
two batteries here supported by a force (nun
ber unknown) of infantry. A combined at
tack was n ade at 7A. M., to-day. The regi
ment under my command, 4t>th Indiana, lan
ded four and a half miles below the battery,
and skirmishers were thrown out, who drove
in the enemy's pickets. The gunboats then
moved up and opened on their battery. A
rifled shot from one of the batteries penetra
ted the 6team draw of the Mount City, disa
bling, by scalding, most of her crew.
Apprehensive that some similar accident
might happen to the other gunboats and leave
my small force without their support, I sig
nalled the gunboats to cease tiring, and we
would storm the battery. They ceased exact
ly at the right moment, and my men carried
the battery gallantly. The infantry were
driven from the support of the guns, the gun
ners shot at their post, and their commanding
c fficer Frye, formerly of the United States
navy, wounded and taken prisoner.
Eight brass and iron guns with ammuni
tion were captured. The enemy's loss is un
known. We have buried seven or eight of
their dead and other dead and wounded are
being brought in. The casualties among my
own command are small, the only real loss
being from the escaping steam in the Mound
City ; she will probably be repaired and rea
dy to nroceed with ns up the river to morrow.
A full report will be made as early as possi
ble.
respectfully yours,

The gunboat Copeetoga, returning from
the White Kiver, reports the capture of two
batteries, mounting seven guns, at St. Charles,
80 miles from the mouth.
The attack was commenced by Capt. Kelly,
in the gunboats, who silenced the first bat
tery. The second battery was gallantly car
ried by Col. Fitch, at the head of the Forty
sixth .Indiana volunteers ; a shot caused the
explobion of the steam draw of the Mound

were killed and wounded. I write bv to

Massacre of Contrabands by the Rebels.
WASHINGTON, June 22—Flag Officer Du
pont writes to the Navy Department that the,
rebels, through information given by a negro
who had been employed by our army, became
aware of the absence of our troops from
Hutchinson's Island. They made a descent
upon Mrs. March's plantation, surrounded
the house, and. with the ferocity characteristic
at all events of that part of the South, mur
dered, in cold blood, a large number of con
trabands, who were awakened from their
slumbers only to fall by the hands of the in
furiated rebels.
A Loyal Arkansas Regiment.
A despatch to Representative Phelps, of
Missouri, dated Cassville, in the southwestern
portion of that State, says that the Ist Ar
kansas Regiment of Cavalry is rapidly filling
up. Hundreds are repairing to the recruiting
rendezvous from the western and northwest
ern counties of Arkansas. This regiment
will be organized in Missouri, though compo
sed entirely of Arkansians.
PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS
The Senate on the 17th spent nearly the
whole day in discussing proposed amendments
as to the terminus of the Pacific Railroad,
which was fiually fixed at tho one bundreth
meridian within the Territory of Nebraska.
The House of Representatives pased a bill
prohibiting slavery in any of the Territories
of the United States. The Secretary of War,
in reply to a resolution of inquiry informed
the House that the President had no official
information in relation to the arming of fug-
itive slaves by General Hunter. Requisitions
bad beon made and clothing sent to him, but
no information as to the purpose for which
they were to be used had been received.
The Seriate on the 18th spent the greater
portion of the day in discussing amendments
to the Pacific Railroad Bill, some of which
were adopted. Mr. Ilale introduced a bill
authorizing the President to enlist into the
army and navy, if further enlistments should
be required, all able-bodied men offering,
without regard to color, and Mr. Grimes a
resolution declaring it the duty of the Gov
ernment to call all 1 >yal persons in the rebel
lious States to its armed defence against the
traitors who are seeking its overthrow. Roth
of the propositions were laid over.
The House of Representatives passed a bill
confiscating the slave property ol all civil,
naval and army officers of the llebel Confed
eracy, or rather of all who shall hereafter
hold any such offices, from the President
down to municipal officers. It declares that
all the slaves belonging to such " shall be for
" ever discharged from such service or labor
" and be freemen." The vote was ayes 88,
nay 3 43. The bill for the issue of one hun
dred and fifty million more of Treasury notes
was further considered, but the House ad
j journed without action thereon.
In the Senate on the 10th, the bill cbang
ing the port of entry in the collection district
of Columbia, Georgia, was passed. The Sen
ate refused to consider the resolution passed
by the II uise for an adjournment on the 30th
Inst. The Pac fic Rtilroad bill was debated
but not acted upon.
The House of Representatives, ayes IJ3,
, nays 28, adopted ajo nt resolution providing
for the closing of the present session of Con
gress iii the 30th inst. The Committee on
Lake and River Defences reported a bill ap-
propriating £200,000 to establish additional
defences on tbc Northern Lakes. The bill
providing for compensation to loyal citizens
for damages done by the troops of the United
States was debated, but not acted upon.
In the Senate on the 20th, the bill defining
the pay and emoluments of officers was refer
red to a Conference Committee. The Con
ference Committee ou the bill making an ap
propriation for bounties to volunteers repor
ted their inability to agree. The Pacific
Railroad bill was finally pased—yeas 35, nays
5. The amendment proposing to strike out
the provisions for branch lines was rejected.
The Speaker laid before the House of Rep
resentatives, a communication from the Sec
retary of War stating that lie was directed by
the President to say that measures had been
taken to occupy the mansion and premises of
Gen. Lee, known as the White House, for
hospital purposes, but that it would not be
conducive to the public iuterests to make
the correspondence oa the subject public. !
A bill was reported to i acrease temporarily the
duties on imports.
There were in all three hundred and fifteen
amendments to the international revenue or
tax bill. The House having, through its com*
mittee of conference, receded from two hun
dred and fifty-three, and .the Senato, through
its managers, from sixteen of them, the re
mainder became a subject of compromise as
embodied in their joint report, which was
unanimously adopted by the Senate, while in
the House the following named members
voted against it: Messrs. Allen of Illinois,
Browne of Rhode Island, Johnson, Norton,
Nugent, Pendleton, Shiel, Styles, White, of
Ohio, Wiekliffe, and Wood.
The bill now only awaits the President's
approval to become a law, and is to take effect
on the Ist of August.
The President has vetoed the bill author
ing the banks of the district of Columbia to
issue small uotes.
John Weidman writes to hiß
friends at home that while out with his com
pany recently on a reconnoitering expedition
he was saved from being cut off and captured
by the secessionists by " a contraband, a most
intelligent and clear headed negro, Dabney
Walker," who gave him important informa
tion and guided his command through bye
paths to safety. Strange how these niggers
will violate the constitution !
igg-Anotber gallant PwTtsylvaniao hai
fallen a victim to the civil warj und one, too
who will be missed from other fields of set
vice than those of strife. Colonel Charles
Ellet, Jr., Commander of the U. S. ram fleet
in the Mississippi river, and who may justly
be styled the hero of the great naval battle
at Memphis, died at Cairo on Saturday last,
of the wound hereceived in that conflict.—
The event was altogether unexpected, as Col.
El.'et had made light of his wound, and it was
not known that it was at all serious.
Trade of the Country. —The exports of pro
duce at the port of New York for the past
week reached the very large amount of $3,-
301,894 being largely in excess of the same
period last year, and one third more than in
1860. And this, let it ba borne in mind,
without the shipment of a pound of Southern
produce.
Liberality of Physicians. —lt has always
been said that physicians would disparage any
remedy, however valuable, which they did not
originate themselves. This has been disprov
ed by their liberal course towards Dr. J. C.
ATER'S preparations. They have adopted
tlieui into general use in their practice, whioh
shows a willingness to countenance articles
that have intrinsic merits which deserve their
attention. This doos the learned pr
great credit, and effectually contradicts the
prevalent erroneous notion that their opposi
tion to proprietary remedies is based in their
interest to discard them. We have alwaye
had confidence in the honorable motives of
our medical men, and are glad to find it sus
tained by the liberal welcome they accord to
sch remedies as Ayer A Co.'s inimitable
remedies, even though they are not ordered
in the books but are made known to the peo
ple through the newspapers.— New Orleans
