List of Letters. Invasions and their Remedy. The recent calls on the military have shown that they utterly fail to pro vide men for emergencies, and that far more energetic measures must be | adopted hereafter. To show how lit tle cause there is for casting censure either on the National or State Gov ernments in. as is alleged, not provid ing troops to defend the border, we need but advert to the fact that on the sth ot July last the President called on Pennsylvania for 12,000 one hundred i days men to nerve at Washington ; a few I days thereafter Governor Curtin, hav ing been advised by the President that j a large rebel force was on its way ! north, made a call for 12,00U addition- 1 al one hundred days men to serve in Jhiin&ylvauia. The danger of a raid or invasion was pointed out, but what | was the response? Why, if our infor- j mation is correct, the first 12,000 call cd for by the President have actually not yet been furnished! Had both the requisitions been promptly filled, a number ol tried troops would have been released at \\ ashington from gar- j rison duty, the Cumberland Valley j from Carlisle to the State line occupied by at least 10,000 militia, and Hunter, | Averiil, Kelly, and Crooks left free to liarrass the rebels along the Potomac. | Had these requisitions been filled, no j rebel force ot a few thousand would ; have crossed the Potomac, Chambers-' burg would not have been burnt, or if i burnt, it would have been after a bat-1 tie. Why then censure the authori ties? They did ail that,.undertheeireum- ' stances, they could do; and if fault is to ; be found at ail, let it rest upon the ; heads ot the vile demagogues and un disguised traitors who for party ends are doing their utmost not only to rend er the government powerless but to strengthen the rebels, and make the American People so lost to all sense of honor, patriotism and virtue as to be too coward y even to detend their homes and firesides. •Since our last issue a call has ai r ain been made tor 80,000 emergency men to l epel a threatened invasion, and pos sib!} a raid into the Juniata region. XV e fear it will not be responded to in sufficient force, and therefore trust the proper authorities will no longer resort to such an uncertain method. In war times, we want war measures, strong, energetic and to the point. Let, there tore, MARTIAL LAW be proclaimed if the danger is still imminent, in every county along the border from the Sus quehanna to the Alleghanies—let every man from Is to 45 be put under arms, and every gap ffnd mountain road from beyond Bedford to the Maryland line in \ ork county lined with such men, and we are not only safe from invasion, but 50,000 true and tried soldiers, now guarding the region from South Moun tain to Washington, will drive the reb els in the Shenandoah Valley back to their dens, or exterminate them in two weeks. \\ e have had calls enough —let there be no more such while the the State is without an efficient milita ry organization, bat that speedy and effectual remedy authorized by both Constitution and law which will meet the case, namely, martial law and an indiscriminate arming of all subject to State duty nearest the scene of action. —The weather continues warm, sul try and dry. Right of the Soldier to Vote. liver since the formation of the Con stitution of Pennsylvania her citizen soldiery enjoyed the right to vote, no matter where they were—an instance of which will be remembered by most of our readers when citizens of this county were in Mexico. No one dreamed there was anything wrong about it until a copperhead Judge, backed up by patent democratic wire workers, got an idea :n his head that the soldiers might support the govern ment in a vigorous prosecution of the war, and accordingly made a decision that no man has a right to vote ex cept in the district where he is as sessed and resides. The stupidity of such a decision cannot be better ex emplified than by the well-known fact that at the present day neither Gran ville, Berry, Oliver nor Wayne vote in their districts. This absurd decis ion rendered an amendment to the Constitution necessary, a measure which one would naturally suppose could not be objected to by any man having a grain of sense in his head. Tiis peace tories however had 110 scru ples respecting it. By an apparently concerted plan, every corner of the State was at once filled with party hounds who barked out lies ot a char acter so low-lifed that it is difficult to conceive how a thing in human shape could become so degraded. Thus, al though the proposed amendment ex pressly staled that the privilege was only to be extended to "qualified elec tors," it was represented that because white boys and negroes were in the service, they could also vote if the amendment was adopted! By such specious falsehoods the mass ot the dem ocrats in the country were deceived in to an act which will stigmatize them as intolerant partisans as long as they live, and will rise in judgment against them for years to come when they are up for office. It is also a fact worthy ot note that while the runners of the democratic party, well known to be in the confidence of the leaders, were dis tributing the poison, those leaders pro lessed friendship for the soldier's right to vote ! This double policy is a little too transparent to dupe any one, for it is an undeniable fact that the re publican and war democracy through out the State polled a solid vote for the amendment, which, with those democrats not yet steeped in "peace 011 any terms," made up the majority. * The soldiers we have uo doubt will read the local returns on this question with astonishment. V hat, for instance, Avill a democrat from this count}* car rying a musket think of the "democ racy" of Brown township, where a reg ular majority is given against his right to vote because he is defending his country ? What of the 80 in the East Ward, 28 in the West, 72 in Berry, G2 in Granville,7o in Becatur.oG in Wayne, 4G in the two Armaghs, 51 in Union, and 51 in Menno—embracing ail the principal democratic office hunters in the county? The votes ly counties proves that while the republican counties without exception give heavy majorities in favor of the first amendment, all the majorities against it come from demo cratic, as the following returns will show : Ciinton, Maj against Ist amendment 96 Centre • • Berks • . j 945 Columbia " 1021 Northampton " • gyu Cambria " " 514 Clearfield " •• 7wq York " .. 38 , On the other hand, the majorities for the soldiers right to vote in repub lican counties is in strong contrast with the above : Blair, maj. for Ist amendment 2282 Erie " Mifflin " • 7 . 2 . s Philadelphia" " 17000 Union " ]O4O Snyder " 600 Chester " • 52 Q0 Dauphin 1778 Lancaster, " • 8 9 33 The townships exhibit the same state ot tilings. Thus in Centre county, the principal copperhead nests voted as follows: n F *°o r Again&t Benner 68 12i Gregg 48 0 47 Haines 72 173 lenn 28 232 Potter 124 278 Every republican district was just the reverse, giving almost a solid vote for the soldier. In York county, the districts which make up the patent democratic major ities, and where last year the rebels were received with signs of joy as Southern "brethren" until horses and cattle were taken without respect to persons, having forgotten the lesson then administered, voted as follows : For Against York Twp. 47 225 Dover 63 142 Heidelberg 78 202 •Tackson 38 136 Paradise 63 102 West Manbeim 31 89 Manheim 9 167 Citdurous 11 282 North Codorous 51 272 On the other hand, Hanover, a strong republican district, gave 179 tor the amendment, 12 against—Newberry 229 for, 4 against—Fair view 181 for, 101 against, and so on. This is the case all over the State. ■ and shows the readiness of the "peace | on any terras" democracy to do any thing against the soldiers. We shall see whether democrats who still claim to have any principle, or any love of country, will this fall work side by side with such tools of \ allaudigham and his traitorous associates. Questions for Sensible Men. Are you in favor of prosecuting the war in any manner whatever for the suppression of the rebellion? If not, are you willing to make peace on the basis of Disunion ? If so, where will you agree to make : the line of division ? li the rebels claim Maryland, will you give it? If they claim Washington City, will you yield it ? If they demand of you to pay halt their war debt, and the whole of your I own, will it meet your approbation ? ' It in a few years, when ten times better prepared than now, the rebels would again commence a war as they did this, will you right then, or will you set quietly down and let them rob, burn and destroy at their pleas- { ure ? -these questions afford room for j thought. Think over them before you ' avow yourself a peace on any terms man, or willing to change your pros- ■ ent rulers for those who by a single act of folly may not only set up the ; rebel government but ruin your own, and with it you. WAR NEWS, 1 he excitements respecting an inva sion have at last dwindled down to j the belief that the rebel demonstrations ' along the Potomac were intended to cover a gathering of the harvests along j the Shenandoah and plundering the i inhabitants generally, though it iscer- j tain a large rebel force was on hand to take advantage of whatever might j offer. _ The 45th Pa. regiment we learn was j captured in the recent assault on Pe- i tersburg. Since then the rebels ex- i ploded a mine near our works, and j made an attack, but met with a severe repulse. M'Causland's rebel gang was defeat ed at Ne.vv Creek last week, and ac cording to the following dispatch Gen. Averill has succeeded in capturing quite a number: "Brig. Gen. Kelly reports that a scout has just arrived at New Creek, | and reports that Gen. Averill overtook the enemy near Muorticids yesterday, and attacked him, cap'tiring all hisar- 1 tiilery, and five hundred prisoners." i Gen. Birney had made a raid in i Floridadestroyingseveral bridges,cap- ] turing a locomotive and several cars, j and a quantity of small arms. We uotv hold Baldwin and Camp Melton. ' NEW YORK, Aug. 9. Humors are rife of a rebel raid on ; the city of Buffalo, by secessionists j and sympath'zers from Canada. The details tire not known, but it is under stood that the Government has been informed of it. The military of this city have been held in readiness for any outbreak. Farragut's Attack upon Mobile.

BUTLER, Major General. TIIE REBEL DISPATCH. MOBILE, August 5. lion. J. A Sedden, Secretary of War : Seventeen of the enemy's vessels —fourteen ships and three iron-dads —passed Fort Morgan this morning. "The Tecumseh, a monitor, was sunk by Fort Morgan. The Tennessee surrendered, after a desperate engagement with the ene my's fleet. Admiral Buchanan lost a leg and is a prisoner. The Selma was captured, and the Gaines was beached near the hospital. The Morgan is safe and will try to run up to-night. The enemy's fleet has approached the city. A monitor has been engaging Fort Powell all day. D. H. MAURY, Maj. Gen. | News From Sherman The Nashville Union, July 31, says official dispatches have just been receiv ed giving some further particulars of the battle of the 28th. The rebels made several assaults upon our lines, which were completely covered by fortifica tions, and at each time were handsome ly repulsed. 1 hey moved in solid columns, chiefly against the front of Logan's (Four teenth) Corps, but occassionally strik ing at others. The defeat was so com plete that the greater portion of the rebel dead and many of the wounded fell into our hands. We have already buried (542 dead rebels, and more are yet lying on the field, besides a very few carried off. General Howard estimates the rebel loss at 5,000 at least, while Logan's loss was less than 500, and that of our whole force will not exceed 600. 1 he rebels lost three generals severe ly wounded—Stephen I). Lee, Stewart and Loring. The fact that the first named took part in the battle, evinces that the troops lately in Mississippi have been recalled anil united to Hood's army since their defeat by General Smith. Arnval of Union Prisoners at New Or leans —Their Pitiable Condition Nearly one thousand exchanged Union prisoners from the Red river country arrived at New Orleans on the 25th. a majority of them belonging to the 26th Indiana and 19th lowa regiments. The True Delta says they present the most pitiable appearance, being hatless, shoeless, and many of them without sufficient clothing to cov er their nakedness. They are animated skeletons whose feet left blood marks in their tracks. Many of them have been twelve and sixteen months in captivity. They are the first instalment from the prison pen at Tyler, Texas, where from four to six thousand are confined in a.stock ade fort, at the rate of 1,000 to one acre of ground. Their treatment was shameful beyond description, many of the officers being in irons and all suf fering for food, medicines, and cloth ing. Iwo hundred of these prisoners have been vaccinated with unhealthy virus, which has inoculated them with most loathsome diseases. Immediately upon their arrival the represenatives of the Western Branch of the Sanitary Commission and State agents of lowa and Indiana went to work to alleviate their condition. Col. Kimball, by direction of Gov. Morton, made five attempts to send re lief to Camp Tyler, without suc cess, but Kir by Smith now expresses a willingness to permit them to be supplied, and agents of the different States and the Sanitary Commission, will immediately ship liberal supplies of food, Ac., to them. Correspondence of the Gazette. Extract of a letter from the 49th, da ted at Frederick, Md. You will see by the Reading of this that we have changed our base from the rifle pits in front of Petersburg, Ya , to the far-famed soil of Maryland—"My Mary land." W'e have been doing some tail marching since we left the army of the Potomac. The 6th corps left City Point on the ninth, tenth and eleventh days of July, we being the last regiment landing in Washington City. We landed on the night of the 12th; from the landing we marched to Fort Stephens some five miles from Washington, on the Washington and Baltimore turnpike, where we lay until the afternoon of the loth when we pulled up stakes and left for Poolewille, Mu., where we arrived on the evening of the 14th Alter camping there until Saturday morn tug, July 16th, we again started on the march, fording the Potomac river near Wright's ferry, some two miles below Ed wards'ferry; from there we marched through Leesburg, Ya., where we encamped until Monday. July 18th, when wo left for Snicker's Gap, where we crossed on the afternoon of the 18th. I assure you it was anything but pleasant crossing the Blue ridge in the heat of the afternoon. After crossing we encamped upon the banks of the Shenandoah river, where the rebels threw some shell among our division with out doing much damage; after dark we encamped, where we lay until the morning of July 20th, when we forded the Shenan doah river, marching in the direction of Winchester, Va.

At 9 o'clock the same evening the bugle sounded to pack up, which was done at short notice, when we about faced, marched some 3 miles, when we again re crossed the | Shenandoah river; also crossed the pass through Snicker's Gap at the solemn hour I of midnight; marched all nigh'; passed | Leesburg at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of* the 21st. After marching some three miles we crossed Goose creek and encamp ed until the morning of the 22d, when we again resumed our march, passing Drains ■ ville, Ya. about 3 o'clock in the afternoon; marched until evening, when we encamped near our old Camp Griffin, where the gal lant 49th lay during the Winter of '6l and the Spring of '62. On the morning of the 23d we again took up our march for Washington, and arrived in the fortifica tions surrounding Washington at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, where we lay until Tues day, July 26th; when we again pulled stakes and marched, passing Tenallytown at 12 o'clock, noon. After marching some 8 miles we passed through the town of Rockville, Md., where we encamped for the night. On the morning of the 27th we left Rock vi He. pissing through the village of llarrisburg, 31 ti , and marched to Har rietsville, ML, where we lav until the morning of tKe 2Sth, when we marched to within three miles of Frederick City, Md. After laving Hiere some three hours we again resumed, marching all night. We at length arrived at Jeffersonvilla, Md. On the morning of the 29th we marched on passing Harper's Ferry, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon We passed Roli var Heights at G o'clock in the evening After marching some three miles west of Holivar Heights, where we encamped until the morning of the 30th, when we re passed the Heights, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, —laying there until evening, when we resumed our march, passing Har i per's Ferty at 10 o'clock at night. We marched all night and encamped Sunday morning near Petersville, Md , where we J lay until Sunday noon, when we again | marched, passing .Jeftersonville at 5 o'clock Sunday; marched within three miles of Frederick City, where we tiow lay Hut how long remains a mystery to a higher . ranking officer than 1 am.

The notes will be transmitted to the owners free of transportation charges as soon after the receipt of the original Certificates of Deposit as they can be ; re . pared.

IT IR- A NATIONAL SAVINGS BANK, offering a higher rate of interest than any other, and the beat tear ity. Any savings bank which pays its depositors in 1 S. notes, considers that it is paying in the best circulating me dium in the country, and it cannot pay iu anything better, for its own assets are either in government securities or in notesor Bmds payable in government paper. It is equally convenient a? a temporary or perma nent investment. The notes can always lie sold for within a fraction ol their face and accumulated inter est, atid aie tlie t>eet security with banks as collaterals for discounts. Couvcrlible into a 6 per rent. 5-20 Bond. Jn addition to the very liberal interest on the notes for tiiree years, this privilege of conversion is now worth about three per cent, per annum, for the cur rent rale for 5-20 Bonds is not less than nine per rent, premium, and before the war the premium on six per cent. I". S. stocks was over twenty per cent. It will tie seen that the actual profit on this loan, at the pres ent market rate, is not less than ten per cent, per an num. Ms Exemplion frcm Stale or Municipal Taj at ion. But aside from all the advantages we hare enumer ated. a speeial Act of Congress exempts all bonds and Treasury ncties from bjcal taxation. On the average, this exemption is worth about two per cent, per an num. according to the rate of taxation in various pans of the country. It is believed that no securities offer so great in ducements to lenders as those issued bv the govern ment. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of private parties, or stock companies, or separate communities, only, is pledged for payment, while the whole property of the country is held to se cure the discharge of all the obligations of the United States. While the government offers the most liberal terms for its loans, it believes that the very strongest appeal will be to the loyalty and patriotism of the people. Duplicate certificates will be issued for all deposits. The party depositing must endorse upon the original certificate the denomination o t the notes required, and whether they are to be issued in blank or paya ble to order. When so endorsed it must be left with the officer receiving the deposit, 10 be forwarded to the Treasury Department.
