PEOPLE'S
COIITF (MENTION.
The citizens of Mifflin County who are

Cobb, Floyd, Thompson and their cut
throats, are invited to meet at the usual j
places in their respective townships and ■
boroughs, on
SATURDAY, August 23, 1862,
between the hours of one and four o'clock

The Crisis— Call for More Troops.
We are at last to have war in earnest.
The call for 300,000 volunteers is now
followed by another for 300,000 militia,
who will be immediately called into service.
Counties which furnish the requisite num
ber of men at once, can of course avoid a
draft, but unless so raised a draft will have
to be resorted to, in which all between the
ages of 18 and 45 will have to run their
chances.
1 he great problem whether we have pa
triotism enough left to put down one of
the most infamous rebellions ever got up,
is about to be tested. The lines are
clearly drawn—the pathway is open and
straight—and he who will now, by word
or deed, do aught to discourage enlistments;
who will endeavor to engender ill feeling
against the National Government by the
dirty cry of''abolition war," "negro equali
ty, and other catchwords of unprincipled
politicians, is AN ENEMY TO IIIS
COUNTRY AND OUGHT TO BE
IIIEAI ED AS SUCII. The fatal effects
of the teachings of the Yallandigham pol
iticians are already apparent in different
parts of this county by expressions of
sympathy for the southern cutthroats which
ought to consign such scoundrels to expul
sion from the North or summary punish
ment. It is time to stop the mouths of all
such TORIES —for such they are —for un
less this is done promptly and effectually,
they will yet plunge all Pennsylvania into
the horrors of civil war.
The Democrat and the Soldiers.
The readers of the Democrat will have
noticed for some weeks that there has been
considerable squirming to creep out of its
assertion that the 49th had not done any
thing in the battles before Richmond, and
has been explaining and explaining until
people feel curious to know what's up.
Well, all we know about it is, that there
are letters in town from sundry soldiers of
that regiment—democrats of the most ob
streperous stamp—who are down on H.
I rysingcr of the Democrat like a thousand
of brick, one of them hoping he will be
drafted among the first in the county, and
have to undergo at least a part of the fa
tigue and fighting they had to endure in
the seven days battles.

It toll make no difference say these fel
j lows whether Slavery is permitted in north
' em territories or not, the climate is unfav
orable.
j Per contra —Abolish slavery, and they
tell the people the negroes will overrun
the North !
The Union as it was and the Constitu
tion as it is.
Per contra —The same men, in peace
able times, wanted to alter the Constitu
tion so as to perpetuate slavery !
i President Lincoln and his Cabinet, they
allege, are doing wrong in arresting trai
j tors and not bringing them to trial in com
munities where secret rebels could be pack
ed on juries.
Per contra —They hive hardly a word
I to say against the despotism of Jeff Davis
j and his cutthroats, who hang Union citi
; zens for having the star-spangled banner in
their possession.
They profess to be in favor of the en
forcement of the laws.
Per contra —They taught the doctrine
of non-coercion against government thieves,
robbers, and perjured officeholders, and
justify it to the present day.
They profess to be a war party and to
sustain the government in its efforts to put
down the rebellion.
Per contra —Those who stay at home
run round calling it an abolition war; tell
the most infamous lies respecting its man
agement; are endeavoring to get up a peace
party; attribute every evil now existing as
the result of Lincoln's election, although
their favorite candidate is now engaged in
murdering the citizens of his native State,
is a low drunkard, and a perjured traitor,
and who next to Buchanan, was most in
strumental in fostering the Southern cut
throats.
Northern Abettors of Jef Davis.
The paltry excuses offered by the Lewis
town Democrat for publishing a defence
of Jef Davis and ADVOCATING DIS
UNION, after he was in open rebellion
against this government, is by no means
satisfactory to the loyal people of this
county, and we therefore republish it that
a better explanation of this traitorous arti- 1
cle may be demanded :
From the Lewistown Democrat Feb. 28,1561.
Attitude of the Southern Confederacy .
Some of the Republican papers are endeav
oring to reinvigorate the drooping spirit of
coercion by representing tbe 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 a8 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- I
pression that the Northern States are ahso
lutely in danger of an attack from the troops j
of the Southern Confederacy, with the evi i
dent intention of inducing military prr par
ations by the North. Now nothing could he
more false and dangerous than these state s
ments. The inaugural address of Mr. DAVIS ;
does not contain a single word which even
hints at aggressive war. Ou the contrary,
he states clearly and explicitly the desi.e of i
the separated States for a peaceful recognition
of their independence. If words like these
can he tortured into menace of the North, we |
are at a loss to understand how. Mr. Davis j
says: "As a necessity, not a choice, we !
"have resorted to the remedy of separation, >
"and henceforth our energies must he direct
ed to the conduct of our own affairs, and j
" 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 j
" most earnest desire will h.tve been fulfilled. !
" But if this be denied us at. I the integrity
" of our territory and jurisdiction he assailed, I
" it will but remain for us, with firm resolve, !
" to appeal to arms, and invoke the blessing 1
" of Providence on a just cause."
The substance of this language is, that the
separated States are in earnest, that thev de
sire peace, but if they are attacked they will 1
defend themselves. They don't threaten to
make war upon the Government, but if the
Government attempts to coerce thorn, then
tbey 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.

WAR MEWS,
Order Calling for Militia from the Sev
eral States.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 4, 1362.
Ordered first, that a draft of three hundred
thousand (300,000) militia be immediately
called into the service of the United States to
serve for nine months, unless sooner dischar
ged.
The Secretary of War will assign the quo
tas to the States, and establish regulations
for the draft.
Second, That if any State shall not by the
fifteenth of August "furnish its quota of the
additional 300,000 volunteers authorized by
law, the deficiency of volunteers in that State
will also be made up by special draft from
the militia.
The Secretary of War will establish regula
tions for this purpose.
Third, regulations will be prepared by the
War Department and presented to the Presi
dent with the object of securing the promo
tion of officers of the Army and Yolunteers
for meritorious and distinguished services,
and of preventing the nomination or appoint
ment in the military service of incompetent
or unworthy officers. The regulations will
also provide for ridding the service of such
incompetent persons as now hold commis
sions.
By order of the President.

Fortress Monroe, August 2.
The arrival of the mailboat this afternoon
brings some particulars of the attack made
by the rebel batteries on Gen. 3/cClellan's
position from opposite Harrison's Landing.
The attack was made i t midnight with, it is
said, four batteries of flying artillery, some
being above and some below the point of
attack. They threw six & twelve pound shell,
some round and others conical, but not one
of them exploded. Their tire was intended,
no doubt, for our camps, but many of the shot
fell short and thus did some little mischief
among the shipping which was laying at the
Landing and at anchor in the river. Several
vessels and, steamers were struck with frag
ments of shell, but none was hurt in them.
Harrison's Landing, August 2.
hundred troops crossed the river yester
day afternoon for the purpose of destroying
the houses and woods on the opposite shore
which had afforded protection to the rebels.
Everything in the shape of a dwelling was
burnt.
This was the point from which the rebels
shelled our shipping and encampment the
night before. The affair was successfully
accomplished without the loss of a man.
The gunboats this morning were engaged
in shelling the shore and houses down the
river. Five men were kiiled by the enemy's
shells the night before last and two wounded.
Head Quarters Army of the Potomac.
Monday, August 4, 18G2.
Ever since the firing upon our shipping at
the mail boat landing by the enemy's batter
ies, our troops have occupied the opposite
shore.
Yesterday a reconnoisance was made from
that point back into the country to within 14
miles of Petersburg; it was conducted by
Col. Averil and composed of 150 of the sth
United States and 110 of the sth Penn'a Cav
alry with 4 companies of the Ist Mich. Regt.,
Captains Cutter and Bowen of 4/cClellan's
staff accompanied them.
At Cox Mills, three miles from the river,
they encountered the 13th Virginia Cavalry
drawn up in line. Our men charged on them
when they broke and run ; they drove them
to their encampment at Sycamore Church, 24
miles farther, where they again formed, but
were ingloriously put to flight, leaving behind
all their tents, camp equipage and commis
sary stores, which our troops gathered to
gether and burnt.
The rebels had two horses killed, six men
wounded and two taken prisoners. We had
only a horse killed.
After scouring the county a short distance
further they returned to the river.

Conference of the Rebel Generals at
Richmond —Plans for the Future.
MEMPHIS, July 30.—The Bulletin of this
morning has the following from authentic
| sources, among other interesting items as to
| the proceedings of the rebels :
" We have some inkling of the subject dis
cussed at two conferences of all the principal
military leaders, held in Richmond on the 4th
and sth July. It is understood that they
must not lose any more territory The defen
sive policy was strongly attacked, and both
Lee and Beauregard advised an invasion of
the North at three points—namely, from
Cumberland and Williamsport into Pennsyl
vania, from Louisville and Cincinnati into
Indiana and Ohio, and from Paducah and
j Cairo into Illinois.
"It is alleged that the following plan of
operations for the remainder of the summer
campaign was agreed upon: First —The im
mediate obstruction of the James river, so as
to make it impossible for McClellan to use it
as a means of communicating with the Gov
ernment and for the transportation of rein- j
foroements and army supplies. Second—The
occupation of Williamsburg, Yorktown, and
, the entire Peninsula. Third—The recovery
of the whole territory of Virginia, and the
suppression of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, the recovery of New Orleans, Mem
phis, and the Mississippi river, and the ex
pulsion of the Federal troops from Tennessee
and Kentucky. Fourth—When these objects j
, have been accomplished, then it was proposed
to carry out the plan of Lee and Beauregard.
Fifth—To make the Potcmac and Ohio rivers
at once their basis of operations and frontier
I lines, and to transfer the seat of war from
I
Virginia to Maryland. Sixth—To hurl upon
Washington, from Richmond, a column of
200,000 troops.
" By the capture of that city, the liberation
of Baltimore, and the invasion of the North
at three points named above", becoming in
turn the invaders, they hope to make it nec
essary for us to keep at home, for the defence
of our cities, five hundred thousand troops."
Despatches from Fortress Monroe state
that Gen. Burnside's troops have embark
ed and are in motion. The gunboat and
mortar fleet, are also under orders.
Reports, coming both from Washington
and Gen. Pope's Headquarters, repeat the
rumor that the rebels are evacuating Rich
mond, one reason therefor being that a
pestilence prevailed in the city. We place
but very little reliance upon these rumors.
The only object just now apparent for the
evacuation of Richmond, would be to throw
the whole Rebel army gathered there
against Washington, and that would be a
movement so dangerous that we do not be
lieve the attempt will be made.
The steamship Northern Light arrived at
New York yesterday, bringing the Cali
fornia mails and passengers, and nearly
$1,000,000 in specie. The news from the
Isthmus and South America is unimportant
Lieut. W. Simpson, of New York, and
Lieut. Wni. Ellen, of Pennsylvania, having
left their regiments without leave, Gen.
Pope advertises them as deserters for whom
" the usual reward" will be paid.
Troops .are pressing into Harrisburg
from all sections of Pennsylvania, and it is
evident that the State will soon have her
quota in the field.
General Buell has proclaimed distinctly
to the citizens of Iluntsville, Ala., that no
