So large an army as the Government has

".'iiit, is known in the whole world ; and
there is scarcely one from which there eoeld
not bo selected a President, a Cabinet, a Con

V e°s!i' e . rnan '. so f ar as known, they
'■tho-. ' r rus ' ste d the traitorous efforts
th-s ,1 ft ' lase commands, but an hour before,
f obeyed as absolute law. This is the pa-
triotic instinct of plain people. They under
stand without an argament that the destroy
ing of .the Government which was made by
Washington means no good to them. Our
popular Government has often been called
an experiment. Two points in our people
have already settled, the successful establishing
and the successful administering of it. One still
remains. Its successful maintenance against
a formidable internal attempt to overthrow it.
It is now for them to demonstrate to the
world that tfcose who can fairly carry an elec
tion can also suppress a rebellion ; that bal
lots are the rightful and peacefnl successors ot
bullets, and that when ballots have fairly and
constitutionally decided there can be no suc
cessful appeal back to bullets, that there can
be no successful appeal except to ballot them
selves, at succeeding elections. Such will be
a great lesson of peace, teaching men that
what they cannot take by an election neither
can they take it by war. Teaching all the
folly of being the beginners of a war.
Lest there be some uneasiness in the minds
of candid men as to what is to be the course
of the Government toward the Southern States
after the rebellion shall have been suppressed,
the Executive deems it proper to say it will
be his purpose then, as ever, to be guided by
the Constitution and the laws, and that he
probably will have 110 different understanding
of the powers aud duties of the Federal Gov
ernment relatively to the rights of the States
and the people under the Constitution, than
that expressed in the Inaugural Address.—
lie desires to preserve the Government, that
it may be administered for ail as it was ad
ministered by the men who made it.
Loyal citizens everywhere have the right
to claim this of their Gt verunient, and the
Government has LO right to withhold or neg
lect it. It is not preceived that in giving it
there is any coercion, any conquest or any
subjugation in auy just sense of these terms.
The Constitution provided and allthfe States
have excepted the provisions, that the United
States shall guarantee to every State in this
Union a Republican form of government ;
but if a State may lawfully go out of the
Union, having done so, it may also discard
the Republican form of government, so that
to prevent its going outis an indispensable
means to the end maintaining the guarantee
mentioned, and when an eud is lawful and
obligatory, the indispensible means to it are
also lawful and obligatory.
It was with the deepest regret that the Exe
cutive found the duty of employing the war pow
er ill defense of the Government foreed upon
him ; he could but perforin this duty, or sur
render the existence of the Government. No
compromise by public servants could in this
case be a cure—not that compromises are not
often proper—but that no popular Govern
ment can long survive a marked precedent. —
That those who carry an election can only save
the Govemmout from immediate destruction
by giving up tiie main point upon which the
people gave the election. The people them
selves and not their servants can safely re
verse their own deliberate decisions.
As a private citizen the Executive could
not have canseuted that these Institutions
shall perish, much less should he, in betrayal
,if so vast and so sacred a trust as these free
people had confided to him ; he felt that lie
had 110 moral right to shrink, nor even to
count the changes of his own life iu what
might follow.
In view of his great responcibility he has
so far done what he has deemed his dntv. —
You will now according to your own judg
ment perform yours. lie sincerely hopes that
your views and your actions may so accord

have been disturbed in their rights of a cer

Letter from Camp Mason & Dixon.
CAMP MASON A DIXON, 1
Wednesday, July 3, 1861. (
MR. GOODRICH— Dear Sir: —After a long delay your
correspondent commenced a letter from Camp Curtin,
which was abruptly broken off by receiving orders to pre
pare to march. When the orders came, we were unarm
ed anil totally unequipped, and we were allowed but a
tew hours in which to fit out. Our orders were to march
to Cumlterland, to the relief of Col. WAI.I.ACE, of the In
diana Zouaves, and though not a man of the Company
had yet handled a gun, and not if rag had been provided
iu the way of uniform, the boys responded to the call with
an aiarcity that spoke well, either for their enthusiasm at
the opportunity offered for a bit of a fight, or joy at get.
ting rid of the imprisonment at Camp Curtin. The after
noon of Friday, 21st ult., was spent in the distribution of
shoes, socks, caps, haversacks, knapsacks and cartridge
boxes and belts—all that the State had yet received in
the line of equippments, and in the delivery of muskets
bearing the venerable date ot a quarter of a century ago,
but glistening with a polish that had been recently given
them at the Armory. These antique firearms were the
source of a great deal of amusement. The " Buck Tail"
regiment had the promise of being armed witli the best
ritles that could tie procured, and when those revolution
ary pieces were given out to them—perhaps there wasn't
a row among the " wild cats" (!) - tall swearing, and a
few tears shed by some of the disappointed sharp-shoot
ers, and the whole regiment appeared on the point of mu
tiny— but upon receiving assurances that these arms
were only temporary, they reluctantly shouldered these
relics of a former geueration, aud returned to their usual
equanimity.
Sunset found ns.ready for the move—baggage boxed
and piled, cartridge boxes and knapsacks buckled on,
and our guns standing in stacks, supporting our flag up
on their crossed bayonets. Orders were expected every
moment to move, but we had watched out the whole night
and the dawn had appeared before the two regiments of
Cols. RIDDLE, (chief commander of I'ost) and SIMMONS,
with Capt. CAMFBBLi,'a]hattery of Artillery, took up their
march tor the cars of the Pennsylvania Central. Nothing
of unusual interest transpired upon the journey of a hun
dred miles which we made up the Juniata to Hunting
don —except that the soldiers found out that neither en
thusiasm nor the grand scenery through which they were
passing would fill the place ot bread and beef, a supply
of which they had failed to bring with them ; but the la
dies of H rntingdon had made preparations that would
have been ample, had not the first train horuetlie" Bock
Tails," who, in the eating line, proved themselves able
to sustain the reputation of the locusts iu Egypt.
At Huntingdon we took the Broad Top Road, in ad
vance of the " Bucks," and for five hours the long trains
rolled slowly up the heavy grade— through magnificent
mountain scenery, and over the famous high trestle-work
bridges that swayed and shook, as the trains passed on
them, over the chasms a hundred feet beneath.
The sun was getting behind the hills as we stopped at
our destination at the village of Hopewell, and the boys
disembarked to try, for the first time, the realities of an
ont-door Camp life. The site was a grand one—a small
open plain, surrounded on three sides by towering hills.
We had no tents, so little was to be done but to gather
drift wood for a fire, aud make coffee, gnaw a while at a
Nova Scotia sea biscuit, selects soft spot of ground,
spread blankets and lie down, for the first time, beneath
the blue sky. Some, more particular, spread fine boughs
for a couch, while the undersigned laid himself in a neat
hollow that nature had formed in the top of a big rock.
Next morning, (Sunday,) we had the pleasant pros
pect of a march of twenty-five miles to Bedford. We start
ed at C A. 11., and at noon had made the village of Bloody
Ran, where We found dinner waiting as. We halted just
long enough to eat and give three cheers, and then on
again through the hottest son and the most blinding dnst
we ever experienced. The road from Bloody Ran to Bed
; ford was composed of fine sand, whleh the wind carried
i up in clouds, sometimes shutting out the view at a dis
tance of ten ranks ahead. We reached Bedford at about
6 P. M. When we entered the town the music and the
enthusiasm of the people aroused the flagging, and oar
entire regiment marched through with even step and
heads erect, among a shower of bouquets from the pret
tiest girls that ever graced a town. We will not only say
pretty, but kind-hearted, for we saw more than one with
tears in their eyes—tecause, said they, " the poor soldiers
look so tired and dirty."
Our camp was three miles beyond Bedford, a short dis
tance from the celebrated Bedford Springs. Very little
preparation was made that night, but after stacking arms
and partaking of a splendid supper prepared by the ladies
of Bedford, they bestowed themselves upon the ground
and slept so soundly that not even the heavy rain that
fell during the night in the least disturbed their equani
mity.
Here orders were received that rendered farther haste
unnecessary, and we remained encamped for two days on
a bill upon which the mountains of the Cumberland range
looked down on either side. With free access to the me
diciual springs, and the presence of the prettiest ladies to
be found, 110 wonder that we would have been willing to
finish the campaign there, but the inevitable rrcillt at 3
A. M., on Wednesday, again gave warning that we must
move. The march for the two succeeding days was with
out special interest, save that we were almost entirely
destitute of provisions, and as we were igain in the rear
of the " Buck Tails," there was precious little to be ob
tained by the way.
On Thursday at noon we arrived at onr present camp,
.011 the State line—as far as we could go southward with
out ordere from the President. This camp is remarkable
for nothing except its miserable situation--in a ravine at
the foot of a high hill—its poor water and general incon
veniences, and the regularity with which the supplies of
bread fail to come. The country is very rough and the
fanning land is confined to a narrow strip between the
mounta : ns, and none of the farms so good but that the
boys think the owners ought to be perfectly willing to
let the seccders take them if they want them.
The Regiment to which wc are'attaehed is the sth, not
2d, as we have been known before, and has the following
regimental officers :
Colonel —S. G. SIMMONS, late Capt. in U.S. Army.
I.ieut. Col J. \Y. FISUKK, lain caster county.
Major —GKO. DARK, Huntingdon county.
Adjutant — A. G. M ASON, Bradford county.
The Bradford Union Guards are known in the Regi
ment as Company F., anil there is no better disciplined
company in the Regiment. Since our stay here we have
received another instalment of our uniform—light blue
pants and a dark blue blouse, together with a pair of lin
en pants, and tiie boys are cheered beside by the rumor
that some time during the summer they will receive their
pay. Our Company are all on guard duty to-day, post
ed around the Camp, in the roads and on the hills at a
distance of from one to three miie*. As we will be on
duty all night, it is arranged}that we shalPhave leave of
absence to-morrow, and the intention is to spend the 4th
in Cumberland, seven miles from here.
As will be seen above, our First Lieutenant has been
promoted to Adjutant ; this does not remove him from
the company, but deprives it of liis services. Another,
promotion is that of ED. L. SCOTT, as instructor to the
drum corps. This situation is very unhealthy if we may
judge from the sick report which numbered twelve this
morning in our Coirp 'ny, but it is thought that we will
not remain here a great while.
This letter lias grown so long that I must defer speak
iug farther of Company matters till my next. S.
