WHITEHEAD. We shall continue to publish the Gazette at its present terms, but to do so will be compelled to prune our list of all who do not pay promptly. There are many 011 it to whom it would af ford ns pleasure to furnish the paper ■without remuneration further than its cost, but at present prices of printing paper, with a prospect that it will still continue to advance, we cannot do so. We shall revise our list during the next and ensuing weeks, and those who do not hereafter receive the Ga zette will know the reason. The Democrat and the S3OO. The Lewistown Democrat, in com- j mon with papers of that stamp, la>t week came out with the declaration that the repeal of the commutation clause made the war still raoreoppres- ; sive on the poor man, because the rich ; only can procure substitutes hereafter. | This is another change of base on the i part of that paper not less extraordi- j nary than the change from a more "vig- i orous prosecution of the war" advo- j cates into sleek peace men, even at the cost of disunion, fur that every one knows is what the rebels demand. Last year the Democrat time and again made it out that the S3OO law was oppressive on the poor man, un- i just and tyrannical, and now its repeal is another oppression. For many things in human events there are rea sons and circumstances which may in duce a change of opinion, hut we think it would puzzle the best Uriah Heep in the land to reconcile such contrary statements. The repeal of the com- i mutation clause will luriush and men will put down the rebellion. While ; here and there some rich man will be able to procure a substitute with his money, just as lie buys a house or farm which a poor man cannot buy, yet if! he procures one, it will be some poor man's fault, for if all of that class com- I bine together not to go as substitutes, they can prevent him from obtaining one. But tbe law is not objectionable i on that account to the poor man, a?- we can readily show. Take, for in stance, two brothers—the one with a ! wife and one, two or more children.: the other single. The married man is ! drafted, and although the single broth er is willing and anxious to go, so as : to leave the natural protector ot the < family at home, the Democrat says NO. 1 you must not go, that's ?iot equality! Again. ; suppose a father with several sons i should be drafted, and each of the hit- I ter come forward and desire to take his place, the Democrat- objects because its not "perfect equality!" Many oth- : er instances could be adduced to prove I that substitution is not objectionable, but on tbe contrary as likely to favor the poor man as the rich. War is a great evil, but it is here in its worst ! form, and we must cither make up our minds like a set of cowards to submit to such terms as the southern rebels may dictate, set quietly bv and see our government destroyed, and total and widespread ruin, with possible anarchy, I prevail, or we must act the part ot men and put down a wicked, unhoiv und causeless rebellion. And we add. that the man who is not willing to de- : vote at least one year of his life to wards upholding his government and country, is unworthy to have either. —"He's not our President," said a patent democrat the other day. "I hope Washington will be taken," said another. "1 hope the will be hung before he gets back." chimed in a third, alluding to the report that the President was at Harrisburg. ,; I would sooner help to drive Lincoln out of Washington than drive back the reb els," shouted one up the river. Com ment 911 such language is unnecessary, save this thai the men who used it call themselves democrats ' Proclamation by the President. A Call for 500 000 Men. WASHINGTON, July 18. BY THE PRESIDENT —A PROCLAMATION. WHEREAS, By the net approved J il ly -Ith, 1804, entitled An act further to regulate and provide for the enrolling i and calling out the national iorees, and 1 for other purposes, it is provided that i the President of the United States may. | at his discretion, at any time hereaft- I or, call for any number of men as vol unteers for tiie respective terms of one, two or three years for military service, and that in ease the quota of i any part thereof, of any towu, town ship, ward of a city, precinct or elec tion district, or of a county not so subdivided shall not be tilled within the space of 50 days after such call, then the President shall immediately order a draft for one year to fill such quota, or any part thereof which may be unfilled; Ami whereas. The new enrollment heretofore ordered, is so far completed as that the aforesaid act of Congress may now be put in operation for re cruiting and keeping up the strength of the armies in the tield, for garrison and such military operations as may he required for the purpose of supples- j sing the rebellion and restoring the 1 authority of the United States Govern- ; ment in the insurgent States; now, j therefore I. Abraham Lincoln, Presi-1 dent of the United States, do issue j this my call for five hundred thousand j volunteers for the military service; I provided, nevertheless, that this call ■ shall be reduced by all credits which may be established under section Bth : of'the aforesaid act, on account of per- j sons who have entered the naval ser vice during the present rebellion, and ! by credits for men furnished to the military service in excess of calls here-1 tofore made. Volunteers will be se cured under the call for one. two or three years, as they may elect, and ' will be entitled to the bounty provid ed by the law fur the period of service lor which they enlist. And I hereby proclaim, order and direct, that irnme- j diateiy after the sth day of Septem-j her I>G4, being 50 days from the date of this call, a draft for troops to serve j for one year shall be had in every town, township, ward of a citv, pre cinct or election district, or county not so sub-divided, to till the quota i which shall be assigned to it under this call, or any part thereof which j may be unfilled by volunteers on the ; said sth day of September, 18GL In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this eigh teenth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and sixty four, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-ninth. ABRAHAM LINCOLN, [L. S.] By the President: WM. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State. National Fast Day. Ihe President has in accordance with the joint resolution of Congress, issued a proclamation appointing the fir>t Thursday in Aug. as aday of humil iation and prayer by the people of the I nited States, to, among other things, confess and repent of their manifold sins, and to implore the compassion and forgiveness of the Almighty— I hat, if consistent with His will, the existing rebellion may be speedily sup pressed, and the supremacy of the Con stitution and the laws of the United States be established throughout the States; that the rebels may lay down j their arms and speedily return to their ! allegiance. r l hat they may not utter- j ly he destroyed; that the effusion of! blood may be stayed, and that unity and fraternity may he restored, and ! peace established throughout our bord-! ers. Congressional. The Johnstown Tribune, in an article on this subject, makes the following pertinent remarks: While on this subject we may say that our article entitled "Congressional," pub- ! lished some weeks ago, has been made use j of to show that we would not support the j nomination, it it was not given to our can- I didate. Our friends should understand us better, ! for no enemy will lay that flattering unction to bis soul. We will do what we can for our county —it deserves the candidate, i ' We will do what we can for Mr. Barker as our choice—and one who is worthy of it 1 But in no possible contingency can we vote for a copperhead—or fail"to give to the gentleman nominated—whoever he 1 may be—our hearty support. For Messrs. llall and Dorris we have no other feeliim 1 than fraternal regard, and we merely at- I luded to a condition of things in the"dis- ' trict whmh we deplore, and are in no sense responsible for, when we said that the just 1 claims of Cambria county could not be ' disregarded, without endangering the suc cess of the cause in the district. Again we say—gentlemen of Mifflin, we are indebted to you, and you may make , the obligation as much greater as vou i please, from true men we are always 1 willing to receive favors, and your disin- i teresteduess shall not prevent us sooner or s later Iroui repaying you. , J resident Lincoln was present at t Lie battle in front of Washington, in- 1 stead of being at Harrisburg as the j 1 copperheads had it last week. " j t "August 2, 1864" The people of Pennsylvania, says the Lancaster Express, will very soon vote upon the proposed amendments to the State Constitution, conferring ' the elective franchise upon the soldiers of the Keystone. This amendment has been approved by a majority of each branch of the Legislature at two successive sessions, as required by our State Constitution. The voting will be by ballot, as at any ordinary elec tion, the ballots deposited containing the words, "For the Amendment" or "Against the Amendment." ; On the first Tuesday in August the amendment will be submitted to the people for adoption or—no!—we will not say r>j><:tion ! The people of the old Keystone can never he so recreant ; to duty—so lost to all sense of grati tude and justice—as tA reject this im j port ant amendment and longer with ; hold from the soldier the dearest right iof the citizen. We trust that every reader of our journal has already de | termined to cast his vote in the iuter ! est of the soldier, and to induce all I within tie circle of his influence to | "go and do likewise." Kemaikable Prediction of Douglas. Hon. Isaac N. Arncld, of Illinois, in his recent speech in the House of Repre sentatives, has the following interesting statement: Here I will pause a moment to state a ui.st remarkable prediction made by Doug j lis in January, 1861. The statement Is furnished to me by (/en. C. B. Stewart, of New York, a General of the highest re spectability. Douglas was asked by Gen. Stewart who was making a New Year call on Mr. Douglas,) "What will be the result of the | efforts of Jefferson Davis and his associates to divide the Union?' Douglas replied: "1 be Cotton States are making an effort to draw in the Border States to their scheme i of secession, and Lam too fearful they will j succeed. If they do succeed there will he the most remarkable civil war the world has ever seen, lasting for years. Virginia will become a eharnel-he use; but the end will be the triumph of the Union cause. One of their first efforts will he to take : possession of this capital, to give prestige j abroad; but they will never succeed in taking | it; the North will rise en masse to defend j it; but it will become a city of hospitals; ! the churches will be used for the sick and : wounded, and even the .Minnesota block now the Douglas hospital) may be devo- i ted to that purpose before the end of the war." Stewart inquired—"What justifies tion is there for all this?" Douglas replied —" 1 here is no justification or any pretence of any. If they remain in the Union I will go as far as the Constitution will per ! : mit to maintain their just rights, and I do ' ; not doubt but a majority of Congress will Ido the same. But,' said he, rising to his ; feet and extending his arm, "if the South | em States attempt to secede from this : Union without further cause, I am in favor of their having just so many slaves, and ! just so much slave territory as they can 1 ! hold at the point t f the bayonet, and no : I more." During Robbery. —On the night of the 12th inst., the house of Noah Ilertzler, of Port Royal, Juniata coun ty, was entered by burglars. They succeeded in getting in'o Mr. ll.'s bed- i room, from which they took a safe-key, then proceeded to his store, opened the safe, and robbed it of from 8350 i to Ssiit) in money, about SIOO of which ; was in silver and gold, and some 850 in sheets of postage currency. They also stole a promissory note for 8056.80, i dated July oth, payable four months j after date, at the Harrisburg Bank; i this was signed by W. 8. Wilson kCo., of Highspire, and* payable to Ilertzler, j Patterson & .Manger. Also, a note i dated at Clearfield, June 22d. by Stacy W. Thompson, in favor of Noah Hertz- j ler, for 8516.85, attached to which i was an order on Leonard Manger; also three County Relief Notes, of Juniata j county, Nos. 676, 658 and 726. the first ; for 87 payable to Amanda Simmers, j and the other for 86 each, payable to Martha J. Barkly. The public are, cautioned against purchasing or trad- j ing for any of the above notes. It is hoped that the robbers may be detect-! ed. —A paper in western New Y'ork avers : that a man named Johnson, of Geneva, i Ontario county, was killed in a Masonic lodge recently under the following strange . circumstances, which may or may not be true : He was receiving initiation into the mysteries of Free Masonry, a part of the ceremony being to cause the candidate, blindfolded, to fall unexpectedly a short distance upon a piece of canvas. lie is led to t'.e edge of a piatforui and told to , sit down, when the canvas receives him. Mr. Johnson was at this stage of the ini tiatory ceremonies, and in falling his neck was broken, causing almost iustant death, j This may or may not be true. —On Saturday General Wilson's caval ry reached Washington. At the same time a number of horses arrived from the j North, and in less than three hours the he roes were again in saddle, riding down Penn sylvania avenue, preparatory to a recoo noissance. When the men utrived in the city they presented evidences of the severe service they had experienced in the past few months. Their tattered uniforms aud bronzed countenances bore evidences that '< they performed their task well. WAR NEWS. The Invasicn and Siege [From ike National Republican.] Ihe rebel invasion of Maryland, and , the two days siege of Washington, are I ended, and our forces are in pursuit of the retreating column. It is now thought by . intelligent military gentlemen that the enemy s deliberate purpose was, in addition ' to the "gobbling" of horses, cattle, and supplies, to penetrate Washington, and 1 destroy the public property. Their plan was Well laid. They threatened Baltimore and cut off the communications beyond that city, and produced the greatest" pos ' j sible excitement in that, direction. Then j they approached our city, converging three . columns upon our weakest point, the Sev enth street road If they had succeeded in penetrating the entrenchments at that point of our line, they would have struck M us a terrible blow. Some arc now assorting that the rebels had only five or six hundred men in front l'ort Bte\ens; but that statement is a mon strous absurdity. Generals Breckinridge and Early were there in person, and in the charge they made upon our line, and the skirmishing that took place at various times, the lith Corps lost some 350 men, and the rebels left in Hon. F. P Blair's house, at Silver Spring, 90 officers and men, too badly wounded to be removed, and in a fieid hospital, one mile beyond Mr. Blair's house. 60 wounded, under the j care of three of their surgeons. I hese casualties would prove that a heavy force was brought to bear upon that point, it other evidences were wanting. But our military authorities have plenty of proof that a strong force prepared to make an attack upion our city. Gen. Augur might have been able to beat back the foe at the outworks. His activity and his admirable disposition of troops were equal in any emergency' to save the city from capture, but the appear ance of the 6th Corps settled the question with the rebels. I hey doubtless believed that the other j troops of the Potomac army had come up, except those with General Rickets, who were at Baltimore. On Tuesday night the 6th Corps made themselves felt, and the next day the retreat was ordered. The migratory army, which has plumed •j its course northward tor three successive summers, has taken its return flight with out displaying the God given instinct of awaiting the corning of Boreas Though short was its sojourn on loyal soil, it will be a memorai le episode in the epic of the rebellion, and therefore all incidents will prove acceptable. \Y hen the rebels first entered Frederick, a number of citizens of that town waited upon General Breckinridge, and, 3fter be ing courteously received, presented the accomplished commander with luscious j viands and sparkling wines, which were certainly recreating to a rebel's vision The avowed sympathy with the Southern j cause and sentiment ciyne pulsing from their hearts, that the Confederacy would and should be triumphant. The war news is not particularly stirring, the great heat and dry weath er preventing operations of magnitude. Considerable cannonading continues at Petersburg, where all concur that : that city is completely commanded by ; our guns. Smith's and Burnside's j troops have had several artillery fights, as well as skirmishing. Sherman's movements near Atlanta have created | much alarm in Georgia among the reb els, fears being now entertained that he will take it. The pirate Florida has destroyed several vessels off Cape May. jj®"The New York Tribune, alluding to the recent raid, says: Maryland is probably some millions of ; dollars poorer this day for the late rebel j raid, most of which she would have saved by seasonable organizing and drilling her militia. She ought to have been able to : put fifty thousand militia into the field for the defence of her own buildings, crops, and cattle, within forty eight hours after hearing that an enemy was on her border. I Five thousand militia cavalry, mounted, on their own horses, armed only with revol vers for close fighting, and carbines for use when dismounted, might have saved at least half they have lost. Buch cavalry could not be expected to use swords efl'ec- I tively, nor yet to resist artillery; but hov- j ering on the flanks and front of the enemy, j driving in or capturing the videttes, making dashes at his wagons, and picking up his stragglers, it could do him great injury, with little or no risk. —Now that the raid is over, the pro- Rebel organs in the loyal States will endeavor to inagnifiy its fruits to the ut most. Ihus Ihe Daily News says of the raiders on their retreat: " They are strong enough to repel any assault that may be made. They obtained scverul thousand recruits and a vast amount of supplies." Maryland gave Breckinridge 42.482 votes in 1860, while Howard, the Demo cratic-Peace" candidate for Governor, had but 26,086 in 1861; and the party has done no better ever since, owing to its heavy depletion to swell the ranks of the rebe'l armies. If "several thousand" more of them have just gone, their prospect for carrying the State for President this fall must range considerably below zero. A first lieutenant in the army has been found guilty of cowardice. He has been sentenced to have the iuignia of his rank torn off, his sword broken, his head shaved, and will be drummed ut of the camp. This officer, though two years in the service, by artful dodging, has man aged to keep out of every engagement in which his regiment has taken part. The Desolation of Virginia. It is difficult for one familiar with the thriving: villages an 1 well cultivated farms that cover the North, to imagine Virginia a populous State He meatus a hundred and fifty miles up the Rappahannock and sees but one village, (Port Royal) and hut one indifferent city (Fredericksburg); up tiie York and Pamunky, a hundred miles, and comes to one or two 'Landings* ot two or three houses, now deserted.— Riding over the eoimtiy, he i~ struck with the sparseness of tiie population even as it must have been before the war. Pre tentious names that at the North wouid mean a community of thousands, cover here an insignificant hamlet of a dozen houses. lie rides miles and miles between farms or plantations. The houses are mainly small, unpainted and dilapidated structures —the out buildings a few negro huts. R : de up to them and find them de serted. except, may he, by a 'native too old for war, or u'd African cronier, too old to run away, fie sees no school houses, and few churches. I have ridden over nearly all the roads in the region we have traversed between the Rappahannock and j the .fames, and I have seen barely one school house. Curiosity led me to enter. Every seat was furnished with a spittoon! I found one hook, a Smith's Grammar, 'adapted, the preface states, 'for use in the Confederate States.' So far as 1 can see, the adaptation consists in substituting j'C S.' for 'I S.,' and the elimination ot ' sentences in praise of liberty. j " What is a Copperhead f* —An ex change, in answer to an anonymous j correspondent who wants to know the meaning of the term "Copperhead," as applied to the friends of Jeff Davis in j the North, gives the following analysis :of the word : C onspiracy. ; <) pposition.
