"CLING TO THE CONSTITUTION, AS THE SHIPWRECKED MARINER CLINGS TO THE LAST PLANK, WHEN NIGHT AND THE TEMPEST CLOSE AROUND HIM."-DANIEL WEBSTER. From Virginia. A great and decisive battle is im pending beyond Fredericksburg, if it has riot already been fought. Gen. Hooker's splendid army crossed the Rappahannock on Wednesday last in two grand divisions, above and below the town. The two wings were, it is reported, about thirty miles apart, and, at the latest ac counts, were preparing to move upon and enclose the enemy. The 122 d Penna. Regiment (Col. Franklin's) was in the advance. It is also re ported that General Stoneman's Cav alry Division has got between the rebel army and Richrud and cut off their communication with their capital. Stirring news may there fore, daily, if not hourly, be expected from that quarter. Col. Hambright. This brave and accomplished offi cer left home to join his Regiment, on Thursday afternoon last. At the depot there were hundreds of our citizens waiting to bid him good bye, and many a " God bless you " and "God be with you '' were audibly ejaculated as they took the gallant soldier by the hand, and when the cars moved off three hearty cheers were given for the hero of Chaplin Hills. Col. H. is, beyand all ques tion, one of the finest officers and best disciplinarians in the service, and it is a burning shame that his merits have never vet been appreciated by the Administration, whilst scores of men who do not possess the first quality of a commander, and who have not seen the one-tenth part of the service that he has, are promoted over his head. Surely the President cannot be aware of these things, or his merits would not have been so long overlooked. Instead of being only a Colonel he should at this time be a Major General, and if long and gallant service and unquestioned qualifications were made the test for promotion, he would now command a Division instead of a Regiment. THE GATHERING TEMPEST The insurrection in Poland, which was not ended by LA:VGIEIVICZ having abdicated his Dictatorship, proceeds with unabated fury , and has so far baffled all the efforts of Russia to put it down. The amnesty proclaimed by the Czar, pardoning all political offences, and promising indefinite reforms at a period left wholly to the imagination, has been rejected by the patriots of Poland. The time in which vague promises could amuse them has passed. Four of the leading Powers of Europe—name ly, England, Franco, Austria, and Italy— have severally remonstrated with Russia, giv ing significant hints that, very possibly, their interference will not be confined to words. Sweden is also opposed to the Russian policy towards Poland. As the Poles are chiefly Catholics, it may be expected that the Catholic Powers will actively sympathize with Poland. Indeed, at this crisis, Russia has only one ally, and this is Prussia, itself in a condition which threatens the deposition and expulsion of her King. The elements of a general European war are in agitation, and require a mere breath to fan them into a conflagration. We see it stated in the Philadelphia corres pondence of the Baltimore Gazette, that a die ease has recently made its appearance at Manayunk, which closely resembles the spot ted plague of Eastern countries. The disease, it is supposed, has been introduced here by the large importations of wollen rags recently made for the manufacture of shoddy. Rage have been for years imported from Smyrna, in Asia Minor, fpr making paper, but the mate rial has been different, and the strong acids in which they were steeped for the purpose of extracting all coloring matter from them , served to neutralize and destroy all deleterious influences which might, by chance, be lurking in any portion of them. The rags now im ported, however, are woollen rags, and they are not subjected to the action of strong acids . They are torn to shreds, and then worked up into shoddy blankets and cloth. If the fact, then, (says the same correspon dent) of the appearance of the plague be true, as there is reason to believe that it is, from the number and character of the cases which have proved fatal, the matter is one of the most serious importance, and it is impossible to say where its consequences may end. We lied it, stated that a similar disease has made its appearance in the vicinity of Wash ington city. METAL-TIPPED SHOEB.—Shoes are an impor tant item in the expense of clothing children, as every parent will understand. They inva riably wear out their shoes at the toe first, and not unfrequently before the other parts are a quarter worn. Children's shoes with Metal tips never wear-out at the toe, and it is safe to say that on an average one pair with them will more than out-wear three pairs without them. We believe all the shoe dealers keep them. serA bale of cotton grown in Kansas has been sent to market. It is thought that five hundred bales.will be grown this year in the pountry'where it was raised. LETTER FROM HON. C. L.. VALLAN- inoneni. Visit to LancastOr. The Junior editor of this paper, at the request of the "Deniocratic Central Club of the City and County of Lancaster," a short time since addressed a letter to the Hon. Critirmar L. VALLANDIGILLM, Milting him to address the Democracy of this city and county. A reply has been received, in which it will be seen that it is more than probable our friends will have the pleasure of listening to that noble champion of the rights of the people daring the present or coming month, and should le come his reception will be a glorious one. We subjoin some extracts from the letter: DAYTON, Ohio, April 24, 1863 My engagements in New York precluded me from accepting your invitation and addressing you previ ous to my return West. I expect to go East about the 12th of May or 16th of June, and, if / do, I will, if possible, visit Lancaster going or coming, and ad dress your Democracy. Indeed, it will give me great pleasure to comply with your invitation.- 6hould I be able to come, I will advise you in time. Meanwhile let me say that every thing depends On keeping the Democratio party up to the full measure of principle and sound policy, true to the Constitution, faithful to the Union, steadfast to the Government which they constitute, and devoted to Liberty at the hazard of life itself. Truth and Reason, applied to these high and sacred objects, are the only powers or agencies left to the Democracy, and by a bold and manly use alone of them can we succeed in the elections. Every thing else is in the hands of the Abolition party—the Administration. Through the press, bat especially by public meetings and open and courageous organization, this use is to be made. Good men individually upon our tickets will not be enough. The people are not now voting for men, but for ideas, principles, policies. No public man is worth a rush now, unless he-represents some thing besides candidacy for an office. Enthusiasm is power—a greater power, especially among the masses, among working men and a rural population, than any agency which this Administration can bring to bear, whether it be corruption or force; but there can be no popular enthusiasm for any one, above all just in these times of powerful commotion, unless he is the embodiment, or at least a represen tative, of some great principle or cause. And to be effective it must be antagonistic to some other and opposite principle or cause; and the stronger and more direct the antagonism, the better. This is essen tial now. Last summer and fall the Administration was unsettled, ostensibly at least, in its policy, and its party therefore more or less divided. Not so now. It has a policy, and means steadfastly to adhere to it. Whoever supports the Administration now, sup ports its policy. All apology for temporizing by the Democratic party is utterly gone. The Administra tion-Abolition party is thoroughly consolidated, and unquestionably it is now contending solely for UNITY AND A STRONG CENTRALIZED GOVERNIIIINT THROUGH WAR, anti, failing in this, then DIS UNION. And it will rally to its support all mon who from any cause, sentiment; or interest, ate in favor of either the object or the means. Now the direct antagonism of all this is, UNION AND CONSTITU TIONAL LIBERTY THROUGH AN HONORABLE PEACE. Aud what nobler principle or idea, what holier cause for the Democratic party to struggle for? Argu ments and appeals without number, the strongest ever urged, can be arrayed in its support—from Re ligion, from Philosophy, from Human Nature, Poli tics, History, from the principles of our form of Government, and from the utter and inevitable fail ure of all other means of securing that great end.— With all these agencies at our command, an enthu siasm can be evoked from the hearts of the people, before which all opposition will be swept away as by a consuming fire. The recent elections throughout the Northwest have resulted most auspiciously for the Democratic cause, and carry rejoicing to every patriotic and truly Union heart. Very truly, - C. L. VALLANDIGJL&M. ALFRED SANDERSON, Esq. "PATRIOTISM" OF TIER UNION IMIMIEI We have recently been looking over a printed list of the originators of the" Union League. The examination has afforded us some amusement. There are in all the names of two hundred and fifty-three persons, headed by Judge Joseph Allison, closing with a Cap tain Young. Who the latter is, we do not know, as we were not granted the favor of his Christian name. Of this quarter of a thousand men—who cry aloud for the blood—the subjugation and the extermination of the South, and who call in question the motives of Democrats who desire the preservation of the Constitution and the restoration of the Union, but TWO have ever been near the theatre of war. George H. Grossman, a Quartermaster Gen eral in the regular army, who served during the year 1861, about three months, and who has, since that time, been stationed in this city, principally engaged in making contracts, and keeping the dishonest contractors up to their agreement, is one of these. No doubt, the contractors of the League, (which the list shows to be immensely strong in numbers,) have " let in" him as a matter of policy. The other (and the only) volunteer, is Mr. Fairman Rogers, who served in the City Troop for three months, and who did not re turn to the service of the Government. Think of it, Reader! This long list of Union Leaguers, who inaugurated this secret con clave, and whose names were published to inveigle Democrats, and who assemble nightly at the " Kuhn House" to, listen to preachers of the Gospel pray for and encourage a con tinuance of war—recommend the murdering of defenceless women and children, and the burning of cities and towns—while they sit by, sipping their champagne and sherry, smoking their pipes and chewing their to bacco—in cushioned chairs—this long list has furnished but a single volunteer to the army of the country, and that only for a period of three months—an average of about FOUR nouns to each one of these patriots. Shame! oh shame! I on such infamy, hypocrisy and cow ardice. In addition to the swarm of contractors (the list of which would be too long for our crowd ed columns to-day,) we find the names of Dan. Dougherty, Esq., John W. Forney, John C. Knox. and George Plitt. Mr. Daugherty they say made a good ar rangement in swapping his poor clients in the Criminal Court for $5OO fees from the League to make a few stump speeches in Connecticut. In justice to him we are bound to say, that we believe Mr. D. acted entirely from principal. Mr. Knox is now the recipient of a com fortable position from the Administration ; " ruling passion strong in death." He was an inveterate cormorant for office while a Dem ocrat, and only remained with them on that account—a fact which he has acknowledged in substance. The remaining two of the quartette named acted, in 185 G, as the Chairman and Treasur er, respectively, of the Democratic State Com mittee. We recommend them to the "League" for similar positions in their associations, with this injunction, however, that they have their books and vouchers insured against fire. It would never do—when John Covode came around to audit th 6 accounts of the League— that Mr. Plitt, as Treasurer, should say to him that the records are all destroyed !" And then, again, during that canvass they spent the money freely ; and, like Oliver Twist, always cried for " more." Democrats, Republicans, and all good citi zens, the Union League of Philadelphia, out of two hundred rod fifty men, has famished ONE volunteer in the army during the two years of this rebellion. Such is preaching and such is practice. This fact speaks vol umes.—Philadelphia Evening Journal. IMPORTANT DECISION Justice Strong, in the Philadelphia Court of Nisi Prins, on Monday week, decided that the case of Mr. Hodgson, proprietor of the Westchester Afersonian, who had obtained a verdict against United States Marshal Mil ward for damages caused by the suppression of the newspaper referred to in 1861, but in which case no judgment had been entered, should be removed to the United States Court, under the act of Congress of March 3d, 1863, The Judge decided that a case arising under this act can be thus removed at any stage of its progress. He also stated that he could not perceive that the act referred to is a clear vie. lation of the Constitution of the United States, but held that the right of removal was eaerci• sed in the judiciary act of 1789, and it has been acted under ever since, without being called in question. rzu , The Republicans of Rhode Island elect ed for Attorny 'General a man who declares that " this war has lasted long enough, and I am in favor of letting the South go,' and de feated a candidate who is in the army fighting for his country. Where does the "copper" crop out here? asks the Boston Post. tar "The Age"—the new Demooratio Daily in Philadelphia—has been materially enlarged, and now ranks, in point of size, among the largest jour nals in the country. It is also a first-class paper in all respects. Its commercial, literary, news and political departments, are conducted with vigor and ability ; and it fully meets the expectations of all who wereisolicitous for the establishment of a high -toned, enterprising, bold, live Democratic organ in Pennsylvania. The Democracy of Philadelphia and of the State at large should lee to it, that The Age Is liberally supported. DLR. SEWARD'S BELL. There are two questions of Home mystery that bid fair to rival the authorship of Junius, Eikon Balilike. and the Iron Mask. Who were the New York Democrats who " waited on" Lord LYONS, in November last—And did Mr. SEWARD ever say to his Lordship what has been imputed to him as to his magic bell ? We have nothing to say just now as to the first, but our interest in the last is revived by a strange " contradiction," which we cut from a corner of the Press of yesterday : A CONTRADICTION Mr. Sanderson, of the Lancaster inselligencer, re cently charged to the Secretary of State's diplomatic correspondence the following " most remarkable and disgraceful sentence: "My Lord, 1 can touch a bell on my right hand and order the arrest of a citizen in Ohio. I can touch the bell again, and order the imprisonment of a citizen in New York, and no power on earth but that of the President can release them. Can the Queen of England, in her dominions, do as muoh?" This the Lancaster Daily Express positively con tradicts by the following: " Although we were satisfied that Mr. Seward never wrote anything upon which such an infamous fabrication could be based, we are aware that there is a class of men who would believe anything which Sanderson prints, unless the evidence disapproving it is the vet/ highest accessible in the case, That there might be no doubt in the matter, we addressed the following note to Mr. Seward, enclosing the above extract from the Intelligeneer LANCASTER, Pa., April 22, 1863. Hon. Writ. H. Seward: DEAR Son :—The enclosed slip I oat out of Mr. Buchanan's home organ, (the Lancaster Intelligen ear), of this week. Not being able to find any such language in your " Diplomatic Correspondence," as published, .1 take it for granted that the extract has been either manufactured for the occasion, or grossly garbled. Will you be kind enough to inform me whether there is any foundation for it, and if so, refer me to the original, that I may see the context. The " Cop perheads" here are seeking to use it to the disparage ment of the Administration, and I would like to bo able authoritatively to set the matter right. This extract appearing with an editorial endorse ment in the ex-President's home organ, causes an importance to be attached to it which it would not otherwise possess, and which is my excuse for thus Intruding upon your time and patience. Very respectfully yours, J. M. W. Cater. To-day we received the following note in ropy, which will speak for itself : DEPARTMENT OF STATE, • WasurNorort, April 24, 1863. J. M. W. Gum, Esq.—Dear Sir : Yours of 22d, enclosing extract from the Intelligencer, has been placed in my hands. No such passage is to he found in 111 r. Seward's correspondence. That you may satisfy yourself, 1 have Sent you the volumes by this day's mail Your obedient servant, We pass by the ungentlemanly reference to Mr. BUCHANAN, but beg our readers to observe that this is a practical admission of the truth of the charge. Mr. SEWARD does not deny having said what is imputed to him. He does not even deny having written it. Ile never misses a chance of writing a letter, or answer ing a letter. Ile reminds ono of Madame DE SEVIGNE, as described by the French cook— " a person who wrote letters all day and all night." There is not a little club, or a polit ical organization, to which ho does not write. He writes to the New York Times to contra dict what the Tribune said about the Presi dent not seeing his dispatches. Ho writes to Mr. Hccuss about Pennsylvania Democracy. He is especially fond of writing to Synods, Conferences. and New England dinners—but when the editor of a rabid Abolition journal in Lancaster writes him an earnest letter, calling his attention to a specific and most damaging accusation—neither Mr. SEWARD, senior, nor Mr. SEWARD, junior, nor Mr. HUN TER, chief clerk, no one properly in confidence, answers,—but a person named "GEORGE E. BARER," replied, that the published torres pondence contains no such passage, and sends a copy of the tremendous book. But one question the editor puts, is not yet answered. After stating the accusation, he says, and the italics are his, not ours : " Will you be kind enough to inform mo whether there is any foundation for it ?" To this question we say no answer is given, and we undertake to say a negative answer cannot be given. If we had any doubts before, this contradiction re moves them, and Mr. SEWARD stands convict ed before the American people of a new out rage on decorum and public duty.—Plala. Age. ME I= The Newburyport Harald addressee the truly loyal women of the country,—not those who take part in public meetings, and who are more conspicuous for words than for good deeds, as follows: "And it is a shame that while indebted ness abroad is draining our treasuries, and foreign treachery and trickery are draining the veins of our men in the field and in the navy—self-exiled and daily subjected to suf ferings and privations which no amount of money would tempt them to meet—we say it is a shame that under such circumstances, the women of the loyal States still flaunt in foreign fabrics and sparkle foreign jewelry. The country demands intervention, and inter vention by discreet wives and daughters ; and only outlandish hucksters, monopolists and intriguers will object, and when fairly inau gurated the clouds will break. It is but a few days since a million and six hundred thousand dollars in gold, or its equivalent, was sent to Europe in a single steamer ; and a few days before a little short of a million took the same direction, and so it is to a greater or less extent with every steamer. Now why should not these sums remain at home? Why should not the cur rent change its course, and instead of sending gold out of the country why not have it flow ing in upon us from Europe? The answer is obvious to every ono. A great debt is owed in France and England, and because we will have their nice broadcloths, elegant silks, satins, laces, and a hundred other articles which we can dispense with, and save our money. But there is a worse feature in these war times than is ordinarily seen in large importations. When the $1,600,000 was sent to London, gold was at a premium of 70 cents. It cost then here, in Boston or New York, $1,120,000 as premium to buy the gold, so that the shipment stood the debtor $2,720,- 000 before it left the wharf. With the other expenses incident, the party thus remitting was subject to a loss of probably not a dollar less than seventy-five per cent., to enable him to pay an honest debt, at the rate of an hun dred cents on the dollar. This, then, is the principal working of foreign indebtedness— in other words, of large importations." NEGRO EQUALITY FRED. DOUGLASS, (Negro) who is quite a fa vorite with a portion of the late Republican party, has been in Philadelphia a few days ago making a speech to his colored brethren and those who delight to associate with him and them, in which ho makes use of the follow ing remarks, which we copy from the "Press:' As they are unaccompanied by any comments, according to the doctrine proclaimed by the Express and its correspondents, the Press must approve of them : " That basis is the adoption into the great family of America the entire negro race.— I Make US, black and white, ONE. Give us all the civil and political liberty enjoyed by the white people, said Mr. Douglass. This is the only solid and final solution of the negro ques tion. The prosperity of the nation demands this. The negro and the nation must survive and perish together. .Save the negro, and you save the nation. Destroy the negro, and you destroy the nation. [Applause.] Take the negro into the national family, and in that way only can we have peace. Mr. Douglass looked at this question in the light of abstract justice. Another theory, that of colonization, met with no endorsement either from the speaker or the audience. The colonization scheme he held to be little better than a dream. How the negroes could be got to Africa—there's the rub, and it will continue to be the rub. [Laughter.] Africa was not his native cotm• try, but the United States was, and here he would remain. [Applause.]" It is astonishing that there are white men and women who will applaud such monstrous doctrine as amalgamation. A 6 . C OPPERHE AD." We have found out at last what a "Copper head" is. The New York Post, speaking of a Kentucky candidate for Congress, says he is " an opponent of all the radical measures of the administration—otherwise a c4irhead:" . Here, then, We have the definition of the term: a Copperhead is " an opponent of all the rad ical measures of the administration ;" and their name is legion, embracing a large ma jority of the American people. g. A Fronchy tragedy occurred in New York last week. A deserter from the U. S. Army poisoned himself and his sweetheart.— The poison worked violently upon him, but had less effect upon the girl. He tried to strangle her, but:his death struggles weskenod him, and he died, wihle she recovered. LOCAL DEPARTMENT. RECEPTION OF THE RETURNING VOLUNTEERS. —The City Councils held a special meeting on Wednesday evening last, and adopted the following preamble and fen , elution; in reference to the reception of the I22dllegtment, (Col. Franklin's,) and a pram of tho. lB . s tin.lleitiments which there are four companisit from this:Moiety: - • :,,,. Wiliam.

Common Connell —Messrs. Philip Deichier, Anthony Lechler, Philip Fitz patrick, A. Z. Ringwalt. This to right and proper. The City Councils are the representatives of the whole people, and the reception ebonid not be made a party one, as is attempted by the Union League. We have no doubt the proceedings, tinder the direction of the Council committees,' will be conduct , ' I in such a way as to render general satisfaction to our ettb zone of all parties, and be especially gratifying bathe bravo and patriotic men in honor of whom the municipal author lstis have acted in the premises.

On yesterday the School Directors of this city and county met at the Court House, and re-elected Prof. DAVID F.VAN3 County Superintendent for the ensuing three years. COMPLIMENTARY.—The Philadelphia Age, In speaking of the sermons delivered in that city on Fast Day, pays a just and well-merited compliment to a native and former resident of Lancaster, Rev. J. H. Bonoanaca, D. D., a son of the late GEORGE H. BorcesaciEß, Esq., whose decease was notlc6d in our columns last week. The Age prefaces a synapsis of his truly able, eloquent and appro. priate discourse by the f 'flowing remarks: "Among the sermons of the morning there were many which displayed deep thought and reflection, whilst others were more political harangues, which would have been well enough upon the public rostrum, but which were desecrations of the, sacred edifices in which they were ut tered. The "irrepressible negro" would raise his curly head, and some preachers of God's holy word so far forgot their sacred calling as to deliver mere antislavery orations instead of sermons. We give the following synopsis of the sermon preached by the Rev. J. H. BOMBREGER, D. D., on this occasion, as being at once one of the most excellent and meet practical, at the same time pertinent to the day and appropriate to the church. It was delivered In the First German Reformed Church of this city, of which he is the pastor." MAY DAY PARTIES.—The weather on Friday last, the let inst., .was truly delightful, and it was taken advantage of by several May Day parties, who proceeded to different places on the banks of the Conestoga, and en. joyed themselves to their hearts' content.

FIRE ON TOE PENNSYLVANIA. RA ILROAD— DEtiTRUCTION OF THREE OARS, AC —On Friday evening last, about 9 o'clock, the stillness of the city was broken by tee alarm of fire, which was discovered to Ls in a northeasterly direction. On arriving at the spot of conflagration our reporter was surprised to find throe care en fire—two of which were loaded with coal oil, the third with valuable bones. There are a great many suppositions as to the origin of the fire, but as near as he could learn they are as fol lows: Thu train wag on its stay .Et, and when a short cliqtance below the Lo_zurrotive Works, the axle of the tank broke, throwing several of the cars off the track. The cars were dragged some distance, the coal oil barrels tumbled about, and finally the cars went over the bank. The coal oil Is supposed to have spilled out, and Ignited from the friction caused by the jarring of the barrels.— TWO of the cars went down the embankment and were soon enveloped lu throes. Thera being a south wind at the time, it was found impossible to save the third car, which was soon on fire. By the exertion of the men be longing to the train and the citizens tbe other two, which were on the track, were saved Several of the fire compa nies ware also on the spot, and were of mach assist...— The fire presented a beautiful appearance, and was wit nessed by a large number of people. The loss is estimated at $1.5,000. THE LATE CAPT. NEFF.—At a meeting of the officers of the 124nd Regiment Pennsylvania Volun teers, held April 24th, 1863, a committee of the commanders of companies were appointed to draft resolutions, express ing their sentiments sod feellugi upon the death of Cap tain Netf, Co. 0, who died at Divlshin Hospital, Potomac Creek, Pa., April 22nd, 1363, of typhoid fever. The com mittee submitted the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, Captain JelTrrson N. Neff is dead; therefore, Resolved, that we deplore the truth again confirmed, " Death loves a skinning. mark," for his were the noblest qualities of head and heart. Rev,fveel, That we Cannot but mourn at the death of our brother in arms; for we hate lost a genial compani , n and true friend; there is a name stricken from the roster we cannot replace; a seat is vacant around the bivouac wo cannot till ; and our country has lost one of its beet soldiers In the came and on the battle field—one of its trustiest swords is sheathed forever. Resolved, That we mingle our sorrow, as sympathy, with the wailing of those so near and dear to him—the aged mother, her wounds still fresh from the loss of her other • patriot boy, and the young wife so sorely smitten. Brit let them not mourn as those who have no hope, for we trust our toes is his gain. Resolved, That a copy if these resolutions be forwarded to the family of the deceased, and to the Lancaster papers for publication. Gee M. Franklin, Co. A, Andrew R. Byorty, Co. Samuel W.

He had barb discharged, a-id was in company with his wife, on his way to New York, to I.mk after hie pension nod rums bounty still dna him. Tha rest of the psinful story is thus told in the Trenton Lo:. (Le, of yester day: •' FATAL Acernes•r.—A coroner's inquest W. held yester day ut the o'd State street depot, On the body of a woman, stout 45 years of age, named Gordon. It uppesred in ovi dunce that deceased was the wife of a former member of one of tho New York regiments, who toss wounded and discharged, and that ho, in company with his wife, was un his way to New York city. They both started to walk from Bordentown to this city, an•l tire husband being lame, the wife walked ou, and at the Unroof the accident, was stoat half a mile ahead. The wind W. blowing directly in the face of the travellers, and this rendered it more than usu ally difficult to hear the noise of a train approaching from behind them. The husband said in his testimony that he did not hear the train until it was very Mar him. "Mrs Gordon had reached a point near Lock N 0.2, when the train from Bordentown struck her. The engineer did not ere her until too near to stop the train : he blew tho whistle to put down the brakes and reversed the engine, but It was too late; the woman was struck by the engine, knocked down,and instantly killed. As rOOO as the train could be stopped, the men employed upon it went back, and found the body upon the track.

DRUMORE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CLUB.— The Corresponding Secretary, Mr. J. S. JORDAN, sends us the following account of the proceedings of the organics. Lion of the Drumors National Democratic Club: afxass.s. EDITORS: The Democrats of DTUIDOTO met at Drumoro Centre, April ith, fur the purpose of forming a Township Club. The meeting was quite a largo one, the spirit that prevailed was really gratifying, and spoke fair for what may be expected of them at the fall election. It was very praiseworthy on the part rf some of the oppo.l. lion who associated themselves with 119, requesting their names to he attached to the Club, declaring their inten tion henceforth to work a ith the only true Union party now in existence, viz : the Democratic party—and at the same time denouncing bitter!) , the party to wh!ch they had heretofore belonged. There was ouo. exception, however, to which the correspondent of the Express refers, the "good Union man" that was among us without our knowledge, but who we were well aware at the time was acting Ore pert of reporter for the Black Snakes. By tLe way he is a perfectly harmless little snake, and, being alike true to his species, manifests a greater degree of SS. surance than spirit. Thu meeting appointed a committee to Select ofileers to govern the Club. They reported the following persons, who were present and took their respective positions:— President—William W. Steele, Esq. Vice Presidents— William Lee, Daniel Lefever. Recording Secretary—Wil liam Llaslicigs. Corresponding Secretary—J. S. Jordan.— Treasurer—T. N. alcSparran. Committee of Vigilance— William J. Hess, James Cain, Cheney Posey, 11. Eckman. Yours truly, J. S. JORDAN. N. B. The name of the association Is, " Drumore Demo cratic National Club." J. 8. J. PROM EUROPE The steamer Europa, from Liverpool on the 18th, via Queenstown the 10th inst., arrived at New York on Saturday. Her dates are three days later than the Edinburgh's. The Paris Moniteur makes the following significant re mark : " The growing hostility of the United States toward England is exciting uneasiness in London. The last dispatches from the Washington government have a character of increasing irritation." A letter from Mr. Adams, the American minister, to Admiral Dupont, exempting a certain ship bound for Mexico from England had excited a most bitter feeling. The Daily Newg says that " there can be doubt that the irritation between En gland and the United States is gradually in creasing." Notice had been given in Parlia ment of an intention to call attention to the seizure of the gunboat Alexandra at Liverpool. Investigation showed that large amounts of counterfeit five, ten, and twenty .. dollar Amer• ican treasury notes had been issued at Shef field. The English, French, and Austrian dispatches were presented to the Court of Russia on the 17th. The Polish question threatened to assume greater complications.— The Courts of Italy , and Poland had conveyed I to St. Petersburg their adhesion to the notea of the three powers. Great excitement regarding Poland existed in Sweden and Nor- I way. Tns CANAL.—The Susquehanna division of the Pennsylvania canal is now in excellent condition and the boating business is more brisk than it has been for years past. Im mense quantities of coal and lumber pass this city daily for the south and east. Owing to important repairs the lower Juniata is not yet in a boating condition. It is now so far com pleted, we believe, as to permit the water to be let in from the Millerstown dam to the Junction. There is a very large amount of grain deposited in warehouses along the line of this slivision• of the canal. awaiting ship ment to the eastern cities. We, anticipate a heavy business to be transacted the present season.--Ibtriot and Union. PRE FAMOUS ORDER NO 8..11001E. ER'S DISMISSAL RECOMMENDED. It will be remembered by our readers, says the Harrisburg Patriot, that in the report of the Committee on the Conduct of the War allusion was made to an order, No. 8, which General Burnside had drawn up, and held ready to promulgate, with the assent of the President; which, however, was withheld, and so the order never was published. Soon after the report of the committee appeared in print, Gen. John Cochrane, of New York, who held a command under Burnside, wrote and I published a letter in defense of himself against reflections upon his conduct for the part he took is defeating a movement which Burnside had planned and had very much at heart, by representations to the President, which induced him to countermand the order fur the marching of the expedition. In the course of his defense, Gen. Cochrane said cf Order No. 8, it " dismissed from the service a'd relieved of their commands twenty gen eral officers of the army of the Potomac, who had disturbed Gen. Burnside. At the head of this stood the significant name of Gen. JOE, Hooaaa." . 3 30 a. m ...8.40 " .9.00 " 7.25 " 2.25 p.nx. 6.03 " ....ISA a. ie. ..„10.55 " .....11.05 " 223 p. Et. This annunciation somewhat startled the public, and much anxiety was evinced to see the order, but it was not to be seen. Some questioned the fact, so far as related to Gen. Hooker, because the President, when he re lieved Gen. Burnside, put Hooker in hisplace at the head of the Army of the Polane.— But now the oat is out of the bag—the New York Herald has, by some means, got hold of the order; or what is said to be the order, and published it. We give it as it appears in that paper of the 22d tilt: GENERAL ORDERS—No. 8. lie,tooo/unins OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, ? January 23, 1863. I 4 First—Cien. Joseph E. Hooker, Major General of Volunteers and Brigadier General of the United States Army, having been guilty of unjust and un necessary criticisms of the actions of his superior of ficers and of the authorities, and having, by the general tone of Illsoonversation, endeavored to create distrust In the minds of officers who have associated with him, ant having by emissions and otherwise, made reports and statements which were calculated to create incorrect:impressions, and for habitually speaking in disparaging terms of other officers, is hereby dismissed the service of the United States, as a man unfit to hold an important commission during a crisis like the present, when so much patience, charity, confidence, consideration and patriotism are duo from every soldier in the field. This order is issued subjeot to the approval of the President of the United-States. Second—Brigadier General W. T. H. Brooks, commanding First Division Sixth Army Corps, for complaining of the polio , of the government, and for using language tending to demoralize his com mand, is, subject to the approval of the President of the United States, dismissed from the military ser vice of the United States. Third—Brig. Gen. John Newton, commanding Third Division, Sixth Army Corps, and Brig. Gen. John Cochrane, commanding First Brigade, Third Division, Sixth Army Corps, for going to the Presi dent of the United States with criticisms upon the plans of his commanding officer, are, subject to the approval of the President, dismissed from the mili tary service of the United States. Fourth—lt being evident that the following nam ed officers can be of no further service to this army they are hereby relieved from duty, and will report in person without delay to the Adjutant General of the United States Army. Major General W. B. Franklin, commanding Left Grand Division. Major General W. F. Smith, 3ommanding Sixth Army Corps. Brigadier General Samuel D. Sturgis, command ing Second Division, Ninth Army Corps. Brigadier General Edward Ferroro, commanding Second Brigade, Second Division, Ninth Army Corps. Brigadier General John Cochrane commanding First Brigade, Third Division, Sixth Army Corps. Lieutenant Colonel J. H. Taylor, Acting Adjutant General Right Grand Division. By command of Major General A. E. BURN SIDE. LEWIS RICHMOND, Assistant Adjutant General. WA AT SHALL BE DONE WITH THEM' This, by the by, reminds me that the General commanding is perplexed about the disposition of Le, Noe rs Americaines. Clouds of negro women and children are gathered within our lines and are burdens to the army. What shall we do with them? Rebels often send them to our outposts that we may take care of them, trusting that they will recover them hereafter. This ought not to be. In conse quence of the heartless bigotry of people of the free btates, General Roseorans cannot send them North —even if lie could ship them through Kentucky.— The selfish demagogues of the northern States would raise a clamor about a blaek immigration that noth ing short of physical force would subdue. 'The poor creatures who would make a living in the free North cannot live with their masters, because they would starve to death. Tell us, then, Tribune, what to do. Will not some gentle Copperhead venture a suggestion ? The rebels keep all the able-bodied negroes they con find to build fortifications. The women and children are launched upon our charity. Will not tax-payers make more money by receiving them North ? Here they are expensive and value less. North, the women can make $1,50 and $2 per week, supporting themselves and their children.— But ignorance and bigotry must work their own cure.— Tribune Correspondent. Well, we are " Copperhead" all over, and we will make a suggestion. Let them alone, leave them with their legal, constitutional and natural protectors, their masters. Let Mr. Lincoln issue a proclamation to the people of the South declaring that his troops are sent there to uphold the laws instead of violatir , them, that he will defend and support the Federal Constitution as defined by the Su preme Court, and administered by all his pre decessors ; and if any of his agents or officials steal negroes or rob the people in any other respect, he will severely punish them ; and if he finds any body warring upon the natural order of society by affilating with negroes, and deluding them with the monstrous notion that they are to enjoy " impartial freedom" and to be amalgamated' with the white people, he will dismiss them from the service at once.— In short, let him pledge himself to carry out the Dred Scott decision and to maintain a government of white men, and we predict he will have no trouble with " contrabands" nor much with " rebels." If, on the contrary, the laws of God Almighty as well as of the •' rebel States" and the Federal Constitution, as construed by the Supreme Court, are to be trampled under foot, and the whole social system of eight millions of white people beaten down and destroyed in an effort to form a Union as it ought to be" with four millions of subordinate and semi•animalized negroes, then we predict a day sooner or later, of awful retribution—more awful and more extended than the world has witnessed in a thousand years. Caucasian. We begin to see where we are going, by the following from the Chicago Tribune, (Aboli tion :) . _ MADISON, Wis., April 18, 1861. The result of our recent election is now pretty well known, though returns have come in very slowly. It now appears probable that Judge Dixon will have a majority against him on the home vote of about 4,000. It may to less, but that is not likely. Tho soldiers will give Dixon about 8,000 majority, or about five-sixths or six-sevenths of all the vote. The soldiers voted much more generally and in a much more one•sided way than last fall, showing that they rejoice in an opportunity to exercise the rights of citizens, and to put themselves on record against the Copperheads. The Democrats fume with rage at the result, but have no remedy. There is a whole GRANARY of food for reflec don in these facts. The vote stands about,— Home (citizens) Tote—Oothren, (Dem. maj.) 4,000 Military Tote Dixon, (ftep. maj.) 8,000 Ist. Here we see a Judge of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin elected in camp, under military orders ! 2d. In spite of the vote of the citizens of Wisconsin, the soldiers at a distance, in camp, elected that Judge. This is very much the way in which the Romans elected their .T.strzgaTorts, or EMPER ORS, one camp sometimes electing one Cmsar, and another, another, and the two camps then fighting it out! The Roman citizens at last tired of voting, as well as the Roman Senate, finally left the whole matter to the soldiers. Here are now two Military Elections we have been having: let. That in Connecticut, —3,000 picked soh diers from camp carrying that State. 2d. That of Wisconsin,—the soldiers in camp being used to vote down citizens at home. No wonder, then, as the Tribune writer says: " The Democrats are furious with rage ; but THEY HAVE NO REMEDY." There is no remedy on earth for Military Despotism. The craven blockheads that covet, invite, or submit to it, soon become, in common with all others, the miserable victims.—. New York Express. zige The Cincinnati Price Current, pub lishes the annual pork packing statement showing the total number packed at 4,069,000 being an increase over last year of 1,300,000 ANOTHER MILITARY ELECTION [From Our Own Correspondent.) (From Thfi Age.) HOLT versus HOLT GENTLEMEN : I enclose a letter which has historic value. It was written on the 30th of November, 1860, by the Honorable Tostsph Holt, then a member of President Bnehanan's Ctibinet, to a friend in the West, and is doubtless a faithful picture of Mr. Holt's heart at that time. 11. n forcible feeling, and elegant expression, it is thebest of all the produc tions of that versatile pen. ' , It has high claims to prophetic sagacity. It breathes the spirit of loyalty, but not of that unconditional, slavish and shame. fal loyalty which has brought Mr. Holt on his mar row-bones before the Ebony Idol which holds its court upon the ruins of our Constitution. " I am still for the Union" says nix. Holt, 4 . because I have yet a faint, hesitating hope that the North will do justice to the South, and save the Republic before the :meek is complete." Let the Abolition brethren with whom Mr. Holt now exchanges hugs, read this letter and profit by it . The apostacy of the man has not weakened the truth or force of these warning words. We may mourn to see this Samson, who in his unshorn days, the days of his terrible strength, was the champion of our great and patriotic cause, " Eyeless in Gaza, at the mill with slaves.'• but let no kindly remember his good words and noble deeds in the times that are past— " Then pay the reverence of old days To his dead fame, Walk baokward with averted gaze . And hide the shame." WASEUNGTON, Nov. 30, 1860 My DEAR Stu : I am in receipt of yours of the 27th inst., and thank you for your kindly allusion to myself, in connection with the fearful agitation that now threatens the dismemberment of our Gov ernment. I think the President's message will meet your approbation, but I have little hope that it will accomplish anything in moderating the madness that rules the hour. The indications are, that the move. ment has passed beyond the roach of human con trol. God alone can disarm the cloud of its light nings. South Carolina will be out of the Union, and in the armed assertion of a distinct nationality, probably before Christmas. This is certain ; unless the coarse of events is arrested by prompt and de cided action on the part of the people and Leisla tures of the Northern States, the other slave States will follow South Carolina in a few weeks or months. The border States, now so devoted to the Union, will linger a little while, but they will soon unite their fortunes with those of their Southern sisters. Con servative men have now no ground to stand upon— no weapon to battle with. All has been swept from them by the guilty agitations and infamous legisla tion of the North. I do not anticipate, with any confidence, that the North will act up to the solemn responsibilities of the crisis, by retracing those fatal steps which have conducted us to the very brink of perdition, politically, morally, and firmncially. There is a feeling growing in the free States which says Let the South go !-' and this feeling threatens rapidly to increase. It is, in part, the fruit of com plete estrangement, and in part a weariness of this perpetual conflict between North and South, which has now lasted, with increasing bitterness, for the last thirty years. The country wants repose, and is willing to purchase it at any sacrifice. Alas, for the delusion of the belief that repose will follow the. overthrow of the Government. . . . I doubt not, from the temper of the public mind, that the Southern States will be allowed to with draw peacefully ; but when the work of dismember ment begins, we shall break up the fragments from month to month, with the nonchalance with which we break the bread upon our breakfast table. If 01l the grave and vital questions which will at once arise among these fragments of the ruptured Republic • can be adjusted without resort to arms, then we have made vast progress since the history of our race was written. But the tragic events of the hour will show that we have made no progress at all. We shall soon grow up a race of chieftains, who will rival the politi cal bandits of South America and Mexico, and who will carve out to us our miserable heritage with their bloody swords. The masses of the people dream not of these things. They suppose the Republic can be destroyed to-day and peace will smile over its ruins to-morrow. They know nothing of civil war. This marsh in the desert-of the pilgrimage of nations has happily been for thisin a sealed fountain. They know not as others do of its bitterness, and that civil war is a scourge that darkens every firesiile, and wrings every heart with anguish. They are to be commiser ated, for they know not what they do. Whence is all this? It' has come because the pulpit and press, and the cowering, unscrupulous politicians of the North have taught thopeoplo that they are responsi ble for the domestic institutions of the South, and that they can be faithful to God only by being un faithful to the compact which they have made with their fellow-mon. Hence those Liberty bills, which degrade the statute books of some ten of the free States, and are confessedly a slur miles, violation of the Federal Constitution, in a point vital to her honor. We have here presented, from year to year, the humiliating spectacle of free anti sovereign States, by a solemn act of legislation, lebyelizing the, theft of their neighllis' property. f say THEFT, since it is not the less 'go because the subject of the despicable crime chances to be a slave, instead of a horse or bale of goods. From this same teaching has orate the perpetual agitation of the slavery question which has reached the minds of the slave, population of the South, and has rendered every home in that distracted land insecure. This is the feature of the irrepressible conflict with which the Northern people are not fa miller. In almost every part of the South, miscreant fanatics have been found, and poisonings and confla grations have marked their footsteps. Mothers there lay down at night trembling beside their children, and wives cling to their husbands as they leave their homes in the morning. I have a- brother residing in Mississippi who is a lawyer by profession, and a cot ton planter, but has never had any connection with -polities. Knowing the calm and conservative tone of his character, I wrote him a few weeks since, and implored him to exert his influence in alloying the frenzy of the popular mind around him. lie has replied to me at mush length, and after depicting the maohinations of the wretches to whom I have al luded, and the consternation which reigns in the homes of the South. he says it is the unalterable de termination of the Southern people to overthrow the Government, as the only refuge which is left to them from these insupportable wrongs, and he adds : " On the success of this movement depends my every earthly interest—the safety of my roof from the firebrand, and of my wife and children from the poison and the dagger." 1 give you his language because it truthfully ex presses the Southern mind, which, at this moment, glows as a furnace in its hatred to the North because of these infernal agitations. Think you that any people can endure this condition of things? When the Northern preacher infuses into his audience the spirit of assassins and incendiaries in his crusade against slavery, does he think, as he lies down quiet ly at night, of the Southern homes he has robbed of sleep, and the helpless women and children he has exposed to all the nameless horrors of servile insurrections? I am still for the Union, because I have yet a faint, hesitating hope that the North will do justice to the South, and save the Republic, before the wreck is complete. But action, to be available, must be prompt. If the free States will eweep the liberty bills from their codes, propose a convention of the States, and offer guaranties which will afford the same repose and safety to Southern homes and property enjoyed by those of the North, the impend ing tragedy may yet be averted, but not otherwise. I feel a positive personal humiliation as a member of the human family in the events now preparing. If the Reptibliels to bo offered as a sacrifice upon the altar of African servitude, then the question of man's capacity for self-government is forever settled. The derision of the world will henceforth justly treat the pretension as a farce, and the blessed hope which, for five thousand years, our race, amid storms and battles, has been hugging to its bosom, will be demonstrated to be a phantom and a dream. Pardon these harried and disjointed words. They have been pressed out of my heart by the sorrows that are weighing upon it. Sincerely your friend, LOYALTY AND DISLOYALTY These terms, naturally foreign to our lan guage as well as to the spirit of our institu tions, have become engrafted upon our com mon dialect by the constant repetition of them by the miserable abolition press—a press alter • nately fawning and bigoted. Since we aro compelled to use this jargon borrowed from courts, by these malignant toadies upon power, let us consider what mean: ing has been attached io it by republican jaco• bins. It is a matter of some curiosity, if not of importance, to know what now-a-days con stitutes loyalty. After tolerably minute in quiry and observation, we are happy to be able to gratify our readers, and we herewith furnish a table of signs and symbols by which they can always tell a number one loyal man, as well as a disloyal wretch. 1. Bellow about the negro at all hours and in all places. 2. Pocket as much money and as many fut offices as you can. 3. Gas about your patriotism vociferously, like the old Pharisee did about his piety. 4. Justify everything the administration does, and swear that every man's a traitor who don't agree with you—even if all his sons are in the army while you are pocketing fat jobs. 5. Abuse democrats like pickpockets. 6. If there is any more money or plunder grab it a la Cameron. . Grab. more money. 8. Nigger! Nigger! 9. More money. SIGNS OF DISLOYALTY. 1. Drawing a distinction between the gov— ernment and the administration—sustaining the one at all times—approving the other when it does right, and rebuking it when ,it does wrong. 2. Asserting at all times that because the rebels have violated the laws of the land, it is no justification for us to violate them. 3. Fighting and furnishing means for the Union, the constitution and the laws, and ig noring abolition schemes for the negro. 4. Strenuously urging a policy that will make the re-union of the States possible,' in— stead of fostering measures to widen the breach. These are the signs of loyalty and disloyalty furnished by the bleak republican jacobins themselvea.—Clercland Plainclealer. J BOLT
