has distiuvted ihe country long enough. And
tako Wm. 11. Seward's advice: " Make an
appeal to Democrats, Republicans, Abolition
ists and Slaveholders, on behalf of our dis
tracted country, that would bring the whole
People at oDce under arms, and send treason
reeling back into the den of darkness from
whence it sprung." To carry on the war
against Traitors according to the Constitution
is to punish them with death and confiscate
their property. STEPHEN LLOYD.

The Coming Election.
The importance of the fall elections in
this State cannot be too deeply impressed
on the minds of all good citizens. While
in the men selected as candidates there
might, under ordinary circumstances, be
little difference whether this or that one
was elected to office, there can be no ques
tion at this time as to the effect, should the
opponents of the National Administration
succeed in obtaining political power either
in Congress, the Stite Legislature, or min
or offices. With our government engaged
in putting down a vast rebellion, whose
leaders are bent on subverting our institu
tions, it is absolutely necessary that all the
aid in the power of the people to give
should be thrown in its favor by electing
men to office who give it an unconditional
support; for, if this is not done, those who
but lately were, and some of whom are still,
the friends, allies, and apologists of the
leading traitors, will not scruple to claim
the success of their candidates as a condem
nation of the President's policy in uphold
ing the supremacy of our laws and our ex
istence as a great nation. Many true and
loyal men may be misled by the specious
cry of "democracy," under which the north
ern tories cloak iheir designs, but that such
will be the result there is and can be no
doubt.
Let every taxpayer, every property hol
der, ask himself the question why he should
vote against the re election for Auditor Gen
eral of Hon. THOS. E. COCHRAN, than
whom a more faithful, or more able man
has never occupied that position. He is fa
miliar with its duties, and especially those
extra ones which have arisen from the war.
Every bill or item of expenditure, civil or
military, against the State is scrutinized
must be approved by him before it can
be paid. Is auy one so silly as to suppose
tbat the taxpayers would gain anything by
electing Mr. Slenker, an old man who all
that know him must acknowledge is in the
decline, instead of the prime of life. Of
its duties he knows nothing, and in the
hands of the sharpers who let slip no op
portunity of fleecing the State, he would
be a mere tool. To make such a change
now, the taxpayers might, and probably
would lose much, while the only gainers
would be a few political lickspittles, like
the tory editor of the Seiinsgrove Times
or Lewistown Democrat, who would be ap
pointed to clerkships.
Let them reflect, too, that nothing can
be gained by electing opponents of the ad
ministration to Congress' or the Legisla
ture, but much lost.
WAR NEWS,
The news from the army continues to
absorb the public. We see nothing dis
couraging in the reports either of newspa
pers or timid passengers; on the contrary,
if Gen. Pope will but continue to fight the
enemy, we have an abiding faith that he
will crush the rebels out of Virginia.
We annex what appears to be the true
state of affairs, with the remark that fools
may consider " precautions" defeats, &c.,
but sensible people will not.
Gen Pope, in bis despatch to the War De
partment dated on Thursday, states that ae
soon as he discovered that a large force of the
enemy was pursuing the right wing of his
army towards Manassas, and that the divis
ion he bad ordered to take post there two
days before bad not arrived, be immediately
broko up bis camp at Warren ton Junction
and Warren ton and marched rapidly back in
three columns, tie directed Gen. McDowell
with his own and Sigel's rorps and Reno's
division to march upon Gainesville by the
Warrenton and Alexandria turnpike ; Reno
and one division of Ileintzclman's command
to march on Grecnwi.ieh—and with Porter's
corps and Hooker's division marched back to
Manassas Junction. McDowell was ordered
to interpose between the forces of the enemy
which had passed down to Manassas, through
GainsevilJe, and the main body moving down
from White Plains through Thoroughfare
Gap. This was successfully accomplished,
and the rebel General Lovejoy'a command
driven back to the west side. The forces or
dered to Green which were designed to sup
port McDowell should he encounter too large
a force of the enemy. Hooker's division,
marching toward Manassas, came upon the
enemy near Kettle Run, on the afternoon of
Wednesday, and after a sharp action com
pletely routed them, killing and wounding
three hundred, capturing enmps and many
stand of arms. Thursday morning the com
mand pushed rapidly to Manassas Junction,
which Stonewall Jackson had evacuated
three hours previously. He retreated by
Centreville, and took the turnpike toward
Warrenton. McDowell and Sigol overtook
him six miles west of Cenlreviiie, late in the
afternoon. A severe action took place, which
was terminated by darkness. The enemy by
that time had been driven back at all points, and
our forces bad captured one thousand prison
ers, many arms, and one piece of artillery.
This was the position of attars Thursday
evening. Gen. Pope added that Ileintzel
man's corps would move upon the enemy at
daylight from Centreville.
In a second dispatch to the War Depart
ment, dated on Saturday, Gen Pope states
that a terrific battle was fought with the
combined forces of the enemy on the idcati
cal battle field of Bull Run on Friday. It
commenced at daylight, and continued till
nightfall, both armies contending for victory
with the utmost desperation. The result was
that the enemy was driven from the field,
which our forces then occupied. The enemy
stood strictly on the defensive, and every at
tack was made by our own men. Our loss
was estimated at not less than eight thousand
men killed and wounded, and it was inferred
from the appearance of the field that the ene
mv had lost at least two to our one.
Tlie Situation—Our Army in Virginia
Up to Monday at
Ten O'Clock.
That Fitz John P ;rter reached the battle
field of Grcveton about 9 o'clock on Saturday
morning, when General Pope renewed the at
tack cn the enemy's position in four columns,
with increased fury, and that he drove him at
all points towards Gainesville up to half past
two in the afternoon.
That there was then a partial cessation in
the battle at that hour, arising from the fact
that other reinforcements had not reached
Gen. Pope, and did not reach Centreville un
til the closo of of the day, and that the arri
val at that point of Franklin's troops was
mistaken for a rearward movementof the main
army, which gave rise to that rumor.
That Sumner reached the field of operation
early on Sunday morning, when the attack
was renewed upon the new reinforced columns
of the enemy, massed near Gainesville, with
such fury as to drive him still further back,
as was indicated by the receding reports of the
cannonade on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
That the favorable re3ult of Saturday's bat
tic up to half-past two in the afternoon, re
leased Sedgwick s division from his position
seven miles out from the Chain Bridge, and
enabled him to march to the sjene of action,
which he must have reached by Sunday, some
time in the day. to take part in the fight.
I hat Burn side was making his way, when
last heard from, with a heavy column, from
the direction ot the railroad crossing on the
Rappahannock, having in his march destroy
ed all the bridges behind him towards Man
assas and Gainesville.
J hat the railroad was in working order,
Sunday evening, out as far as Warrenton
Junction, tnus demonstrating that the enemy
had been forced entirely to the westward of
our line of communication from Alexandria.
That the slaughter on our side, since the
battle of Friday, has not been anything like
as great as on that day, but that on the ene.
my's side it has been greater, terrible as it
was on that day. .
That the surgeons sent forward hence on
Saturday morning, did not leave Alexandria
by rail till late Sunday evening, in conse
quence of the condition of the road, which
was not deemed safe till then.
1 hat the prisoners of war captured by Gen.
Pope in Friday's battle had reached Alexan
dria Sunday, and were being shipped off
down the Potomac by steam to Fort Dela
ware
WASH i XGTON, Sept. 2.
The excitement that prevailed in this city
on Suuday and Monday has considerably
abated, and no fears are now entertained of
further disaster.
General Pope had been largely reinforced
at Centreville by fresh troops, and his com
munication by railroad with Washington had
furnished him with abundance of supplies
and ammunition. His wounded were rapidly
arriving in Washingtod by railroad and am
bulances, and it was thought he would be
ready to day for active offensive operations,
having made an advance yesterday. In all
these respects he has the advantage of the
enemy, and has of course been able to recu
pcrate and bring his army again into fight
ing condition more rapidly and effectively.
Gen. Franklin's Corps of the army of the
Potomac, with the command of Geu. Sumner,
had already joined him, together with the
command of Gen Banks, which was tempo*
rarily cut off by the reverse of Saturday.
Gen. McClellan has taken command of the
defences of Washington, with all the troops
and new levies in and about the city, his old
troops having been all forwarded to General
Pope.
Many speculations are afloat with regard
to the condition of the enemy for supplies
and water, but there can be uo dou! t that
the plan of drawing Gen. Pope to the South
side of the Rappahannock, and then making
a dash in his rear, was contemplated for a
long time previous to its having taken place,
and they had doubtless concentrated supplies
there for the emergency.
The rumored death of the rebel Gen Ewell
and the wounding of Gen. Jackson, is not
Eeoeraily credited, though in ac fierce a con
flict they have doubtless lost many high
officers.
The propriety of making an immediate ad
vance on the enemy is extensively discussed,
some preferring that time should be given for
the organization and drill of the new troops,
and others that the blow should bo stricken
at once, before the enemy has time to recu
peratc. Gen. Pope, however, knows the con
dition of the enemy better than those who
discuss the point, and will doubtless take
such course as will be most to the advantage
of the cause. lie is still being reinforced,
which indicates an intention to advance at an
early d;tv on the enemy, rather than fall
back on Washington.
Froui the West we receive the official
despatches detailing a combined naval and
military expedition on the Mississippi, plan
ned by Gen. Curtis and Capt. Davis, of the
flotilla. The Rebel transport Fairplay was
captured with a heavy cargo of war mater
iel, consisting of over live thousand rifles
and muskets, a large quantity of ammu
nition, lour held guns, and small arms.—
The military force landed and destroyed
the railroad station and telegraph at Mon
roe, La. Two camps of a Louisiana regi
ment were destroyed, and eight cars burnt.
The expedit on then proceeded up the Ya
zoo river, where a battery of-42 pounders
and two Held pieces, and a quantity of am
munition were captured The heavy pieces
were destroyed and the field pieces brought
away. Thirty five prisoners were captured
and several guerilla bands dispersed. The
arms captured were designed for Hind
man's forces in Arkansas.
General Blunt has chased the guerilla
bands under Quantrell and Rams out of
Missouri into Arkansas. A company of
militia from Ft. Joseph s Mo., a few days
ago, surprised a guerilla camp near I nion
Mills, captured sixteen horses, ten or a
dozen shot guns, forty pounds of lead and
twenty-five of powder. From Kentucky
we also learn of the defeat and dispersion
of scve al guerilla bauds.
More iron clads have been commenced.
The keels of two were laid near Pittsburg,
I'a., on Saturday a wee!:. Those are in
tended for river service chiefly. The Gov
'rnnient is also negotiating for the pur
chase of two Mississippi steamboats, with
the view of making mailed ships of them.
The Choctaw and Fort Henry ( iron clads),
now pretty vv.il au van cod at Ft. Louis,
wore not originally intended for Govern
ment duty, but are expected to make very
serviceable craft, nevertheless. Nearly a
hundred vessels have been chartered re
cently for temporary service by the Navy
Department.

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
ALEXANDRIA, VA., )
Aug. 24, 18G2. J
Dear Sir —The absent may be doing
well, but the other absent may not know it.
Now this is precisely the point in question
which I propose to supply briefly. First
let me say wo are all alive here. Every
thing is on the stir—contrabands and all.
I saw this morning droves of them pouring
through our streets —men, women and chil
dren—old and young, covered with dust,
and some of them not dressed a Ui mode.
Poor souls ! they are sighing for liberty,
and hope to be more happy in the land
where all are free—hut the Press.
There is and has been a remaikablo si
lence, yet lively times are going on, and
stirring events before us on and about the
Rappahannock. There was a serious fight
on Friday, and a part o! our wounded, be
longing "to the 74th Pa Vol., 61st Ohio,
and 4th New Jersey cavalry were brought
up on the cars last night and placed in the
hospitals. Every kindness is shown to the
wounded, and everything granted consis
tent with propriety. Some have a single
wound, others two and three; many are shot
in the lower limbs, many in the arms, and
a few about the head-and body. Many of
our men at Cedar Mountain were wounded
with buckshot. The rebels wound three
to our one, but we with our Enfields kill
three to their one: I suppose our men
go on the principle that dead men tell no
tales: the rebels on the principle that aliv
ing dog is better that: a dead lion; for you
must know it is the spirit of the man that
makes the man—and on this rule of logic
I hold that all our men, even the boys, are
lions. Tliat matter at Culpeper—well, it
is over and the wounded are lure. The
spoils, they are not, and we came off second
best, so no more of it.
I walked down to the wharf this morn
ing. The scene was beautiful, indeed.—
Before me lay the broad Potomac, opposite
the shores of Maryland, and floating on the
water steamers of the largest size, literally
crowded with living beings, soldiers from
Yorktown, on their return from the Penin
sula. Alas, how many widows' tears and or
phans' cries are produced by the bare remem
brance of it! In these perished the hopes,
the fears of forty thousand beings, whom
I saw go away in March last thoughtless
and lively as if going to a fair or sleighing
party. There they will sieep until the crack
of doom! This morning 1 beheld the
remnants of the same weather beaten war
riors, fres'ii from the seven days' battle
fields. The smoke, the noise, the shouts
of the victors, the groans of the dying, the
f nd ties severed, the certainty of rushing
into the cannon's mouth again in a lew
days, (a battle is going on below us) —all
have not served, and do not serve to make
the bright countenance sad, or castdown the
buoyant heart.. I have just, seen pass by
the famous New York 31st, "small in num
bers" to what it was when 1 saw it embark
in March, sadly diminished by the battles
of the Peninsula. Also the "Goslin Zou
aves." For the last few days thousands
have been passing. The 2d and 3d Mich
igan also passed. The Hist, under Col.
Gregory, have left here and have taken the
field; they wore on duty here for throe
months. The 03d Indiana have also left
here, where they have been some time, do
ing duty for the Provost Marshal. Hora
tio Norris is a member of this regiment; he
called to see mo several times The 68th
Illinois regiment will take their place.
Sergeant John Nolte is doing well I
saw Henry Print?, this morning; he is do
ing very well. Satiford, at the St Paul's
Church Hospital is Going well, and the oih
ers. William Link died at the Christ
Church Hospital on Friday morning, from
rheumatism and diarrhoea. Homer Sigler
took dinner with tnc yesterday, and break
fast this morning. He went off to Fort
Ellsworth this morning tc rejoin hi 3 regi
ment, now on the area occupied by conten
ding hosts He was in fine spirits.
I saw Gen. Ileintzelman ride through
the streets yesterday with his staff. He is
deservedly a great favorite. H. G. Wor
rall, as surgeon in the 107 th, left here on
Friday to join the regiment. You will
soon hear of mighty movements—hosts
mingled in the shock of battle, and fields
ensanguined with human gore. The reb
els wish to make one bold move, knowing
when we concentrate Father Abraham's
"three hundred thousand more," their
hopes will perish where their bodies fall.
Look out for news 1

August 26th, 186 J. J
Friend Gazette —On Monday, 11th inst.,
we were ordered to pack knapsacks and
send them away. We kept nothing out of
them but our shelter tents and gum blank
ets. Two day's rations were served out to
us, and notice given to be ready to march
in half an hour. Where dc we go now ?
was the question asked by a good many;
some said to Richmond, some to white oak
swutnp, and some had the impudence to
say we were goii g to make another "ske
daddle." We lay in camp until Saturday
the 16th. About 4 o'clock p. m , our di
vision moved out of the entrenchments at
Harrison's Landing. Ours was the last to
leave the works there, and we were not
sorry either, for it is about as hot a spot as
there is this side of a certain hot place we
read of. We marched down the Charles
city road, and just beyond Charles city
Court House we came to an ugly swamp,
which was blocked up with teams that had
stuck fast in the mud. Gen. McClellan
was up to his knees in mud and water giv
ing directions to the teamsters, and encour
aging the troops as they came up to pass
through. After we got through this place
we lay down for the night. Sunday, 17th
—Our march this day brought us to the
Chickahominy, which we crossed on a pon
toon bridge. We camped this night on
the banks of this famous stream, and I hope
have bid it farewell forever. A nice lot of
tired and dirty soldiers we were this day;
it was very warm and dusty, besides we
had marched about 20 miles. On Mon
day, 18th, we marched through Williams
burg and our own old battle ground: we
halted this day a little after noon, and as
property was not so strictly guarded as it
was when we went up the peninsula, we
foraged a little in cornfields and orchards
without any fear of being put under arrest
for it. The cornfields were pretty well
plucked near where we camped on our
march. On Tuesday, 19th, we made York
town; here we had the luxury of a bath in
the York river. On the 20th we started
early, with the expectation of reaching
Hampton that night, but on reaching Big
Bethel, we camped for the night on the
old battle ground there. On Thursday,
21st, we had a short, march to Hamptou;
here we lay until next day noon, when we
marched to Fortress M inroe. Here we were
put on board the steamer Montreal, which
brought us to Alexandria, were we lan 'ed
on Sunday, 24th, just five months from the
time we embarked for the peninsula. We
are now encamped about two miles out of
Alexandria. It was two weeks yesterday
since we saw our knapsacks; where they
are we do not know—perhaps they have
gone to hunt a new "base of operations."
We have marched up the peninsula on
one side and down on the other. The mud
we marched through on our way up had
all apparently turned to dust on our march
down, for such a dust as we had to cotne
through was enough to kill almost anybody
but a soldier of the grand army of the Po
tomac. Where next, is what interests us.
To Pope, though, appears to be our desti
nation. There is one thing we would like
some one to figure out for us. It is this :
When we started up the peninsula, our of
ficers told us every day brought us nearer
Richmond. Well, we went on until we
couid see the city by climbing a tree; alter
we got to Harrison's they told us we were
nearer then than we were when we were
only lour miles off; and now, at the dis
tance we are from Richmond, we. are told
we are getting nearer every day. How it
is that at Harrison's we were nearer than
we were when in front of it. and here at
Alexandria we are nearer than at II ori
son's, we do not know, but it appears the
further we get away from it, the nearer we
are to it! We cannot see how it is, but
we are bound to believe it, Leoau-e our su
periors say so. Since our arrival here we
have seen a good many of the new soldiers
who lately came into the field. They look
very nice, a good deal like Sunday soldiers.
We have told some of them by the time
they lay in something like the Chickahom
iny swamps for five months they would not
look quite so pretty. The health of our
regiment is still improving. Even on the
march, the men who were sick at Harrison's,
got pretty well by the time we got here.
Wc have been about one year in the ser
vice now, and are within five or six miles
of our first camp. We hope the next move
we make will be more successful than our
last —at least, we trust so. We cannot
promise to do more than we have done.
The 49th has never shown the white feath
er yet. Give us a fair show, fill up our
ranks, and we will try and do our whole
duty. I am yours truly.
SERGEANT.
Drafting and Noa Combatants.
Our attention was almost accidentally
drawn to the fact that non combatants
were provided for in the Constitution of
this State, when wo m:t with the follow
ing article in the Lancaster Examiner,
which is as applicable here as there.
In different parts of our county, says that
paper, there has been more or less excite
ment upon the subject of the draft which
is about being made for Nine Months
Militia. This has been particularly so
among our non-resistant denomination of
christians—the Quakers, Hunkers, Men
onites, Ac. With this class of christians,
their precepts and example have always
conformed, and have been in strict accor
dance with their conscientious convictions
of its sinfulness, (bearing arms and war);
and the framers of the Constitution of
Pennsylvania recognizing this conscien
tious class of citizens, expressly exempts
them from the performance of military
duty. Article G, Section 2of the Consti
tution of Pennsylvania, provides : " I'hose
u who conscientiously scruple to bear arms.
11 shall not be. compelled to do so, but shall
"pay an equivalent for personal service."
The order of the Secretary of War, or
dering the draft, designates who shall be
exempt, and also says : " and all persons
"exempted by the laws of the respective
11 States from military duty."
It is however the duty oi the deputy
marshals appointed to take the name and
make a perfect register of every man be
tweeu the ages of 18 and 45 years. This
he must do, be he lame, halt or blind,
citizen or alien, and it is the duty of all
persons to give readily a d cheerfully all
the information desired. All who are ex
empt from the performance of military
duty under the laws will find no trouble in
having their names stricken froiy the rolls
thus made out. The law, and we think
wisely, allows the deputy marshals no dis
cretion in the matter. Another officer
called a " commissioner" passes upon who
are and are not to remain upon the rolls
from which the draft is to he made. To
him all exempts will apply at the time and
place, of which he is required to give due
notice.
It will then be seen from what we have
stated, that there is no occasion for any un
necessary concern on the part of our non
combatant citizens, about their being com
pelled to bear arms. They will however
be compelled to 11 pay an equivalent" in
money, which we believe they will do
cheerfully, that the hearts and arms of our
soldiers may be strengthened for the spee
dy establishment of Law and Liberty
throughout the whole Union.
We have been led to make these remarks
because the subject is not generally under
stood, and because there are a certain class
of political knaves and secession sympathi
zers who will .endeavor to excite a terror
in non-combatants about the draft. All
loyal citizens should see to it that this un
pretending and iudustrious class of our citi
zens, who are to be found in all parts of
our country, are not imposed upon by kna
vish secession sympathizers.
atagrThe Lcwistown Democrat claims
nine-tenths of the officers and two-thirds of
