VOL 18. 1
Fro ads Upon the Volunteers.
The Lycomiiig Gazette of May 22, says:
—From every camp where - there are
Pennsylvania volunteeracomes il op the cry
of gross neglect of their . Comfort, bti ' the
part of the authorities. Where Pennsylva
nians are eacamped with the troops of
other States, they are called , the", Ragged
Pennsylvania Militia." With.. as much
money. at disposal; as any other State in
the Union, - the executive department of
Pennsylvania either is not , competent for
the duties of the-occasion, or else it has
selected villainous agents, Who are en
riching themselves at the expenie; nay
the very comforts, of the brave men who
have•offered their labor and their lives in
defence of the • country otherwise _ such
flagrant wrongs could not exist for a
week. Wherever the error lies, the exe
cutive,department of the State is respons
ible.- - It has no business - to appoint, rascal
ly agents—if it is the agents who are at
fault.
The Williamsport volunteers have been
in service now a full month, and yet not
one thread of clothing have they received
from the State. Many of them, if we are
correctly informed, . are literally in rags.
If it is not the intention of our State gov
ernment to clothe them, let it be publicly
known, and they will - clothe themselves,
or their friends will do it for them. There
will be a reck6ning one of these days for
this mismanagement or thieving,whichev
ei it is. •
I,p connection with this subject we Make
the following extract from a letter to the
Philadelphia Press, from Camp Scott,
York, Pa. As the litter - will show, it
seems that there's sham pretence at cloth
ing the troops has been made. We leave
the correspondent to tell the rest:
I would like to close this communica : .
tion as I began it, and say a: word of
praise in fivor of the clothing furnished
the soldiers here, - as I have done in regard
to, the medical' attendance, food disciplin,
.fie., but to do aught else than fix: upon
it the seal of unmitigated condemnation,
would be to-wrong, in the foulest manner,
the brare - men to whom it has been fur
nished., I have .not, I assure you,, the
slightest partiele of good' fee / ling for- 'Jeff.
Davis
. or alty:•of his coadjutorD, I .could
see them hung, with as much -complacen
cy as I Would a thieving tom-cat.; and I
am free to say that my .feelings towards
the man who, at such tithes as these,
speculate upon the comforts and- necessi
ties of the gallant men who have taken
up arms in their country's defence, are
not .any more kind.. :Ile deserves hanging
fts,fully and fairly as .Jefferion' Davis,
and he should.pot be defrauded of his
duet:. •
Nothing short of an. actual "inspection
of this clothing ; as h is termed, wil& ena
ble you to know how 'gross afraud has
been perpetrated upon . the Covkinment
and. the soldiers. I gave it my closest at
tention to-day, and,ana prepared to report
upon it knowingly, t -and I. do so with the
entire sanction. of both officers and men
at Camp Scott. Let -us begin at the
foundation.
I have now in my nossession, and shall
leave at; your office, - for inspection, a sh6e,
worn by one of the soldiers two days. Jt
has not a vestige of sale left upon it. I
have - been fortunate enough, also, to.secure
a portion o?the-in-sole, or filling. 'What
do you suppose it is made of? A Pine
shaving! Think of thk, my dear Press.
Stitt shoes furnished to the men who are
to fight the battles of our country! In
some cases the of filling,s," arc
Made of paste board. The heels in many
cases drop ofrin one: hour's wear. The
man who would furnish such. shoes is
as soulless: as the old shoes • above refer
red to. -
Such Material' and such workmanship
the verriest 'slop-shop in Chatham and
South street never saw. With two .fin
gers the cloth can he readily separated,
and, in many instances, the soldiers can
not,
try them on without bursting in ,
some part.-. 1 have secured .two pairs of
-these magnificent spOimens of army
clothing, which. I shall leave at your office_
and to which tin Vite the special attention
'Of those Philadelphia. Merchants who gave
Mr. Martin their certificate. Let them
examine these pantaloons, and Wen let us
haveanother certificate. _
I saw a pile of blanketi thrown, outside
the commissary's tent *prone of the regi
ments, any one of which could be torn . to
atoms as readily as a,slieet of brown pa
-per. Held by the foint corners, an ordina
ry pleasant breeze , Would split them ticim
1 end to end. 'hey are not fit for a decent
horse or dog, pinch less for brave men.
They are about as Well calculated to keep
men warm /end comfortable in a cool
night as a piece of bobbinet. The only
use Imp' find for them will be to make
} mosquito bars, shonld they hold together
until the soldiers reach the South.
A. H. SNITIL,
OVERCOATS. -
/ These 'may be very comfortable, but
they are far from coming up to my idea
of whata salter's' overcoat should be.—
The material is flimsy; the workmanship
wretched. In some cases, several shades
of colors appear in the same coat. In
others, the clpth is •r cut -wrong, turning,
the nnp upwards instead Of down.
What a contrast between this and the
clothing furnished by the United States !
You should have seen the coats of the
Michigan regiment as they,pascd through
here yesterday. .The men looked comfort
able, as, they] deserved to. be.
As a conelusion, or , tail end.to this sad
Efitq7 4 ..l w illte, upon,the authority of
Gen: Wynkoopi as, well as of other offi
cers high in command, that many ;of the
men are compelled ,to • wear their over
coats all day, to bide the :nakedness eon.:
sequent' upon the rotten fabric` of • which
their pantaloons are made, end - these pan
taloons, in many cases, worn-mot
.more
than a day or tWer.r , io mend- theni is
worse thrf-useless. The stitches won't
bold. ; -
This clothing, lam credibly hifotmed
.eras manufactured' or stuck together at
the . Girard. House. Is it so? If it is so,
tho government - shoolti look to it at once.

If it is not'ao ' .Mr. Martin should clear up
the matter. He owes it:to himself to do
so, and I hope he will at once let. us .navel
all the information* is possessed ' of on
the subject.
If there are any,doubts 'as to the truth,
of these statements, those who are skepti
cal should visit Camp Scott at once.
A Native of York
- From tie New 'York Sunday Timm • -•
What We - are'Fighting About.
• It'is something to know that the -lead'
jug men aceively engaged in the- pre - sent
war, - on t he - side of the United d States, are
Sagacious enough to perceive the impor
tance ofhaving its real object nnderstood.
Certain newspapers misrepresent that
"Objects° assiduously, and their mischiev
ous tirades are copied in the South with
so much avidity, as furnishing_ admirable
fuel to feed the flame of secessionism with,
that the truth_cannot be too distinctly
disseminated. The Mississippi journals,
for instance, contain copious ex - traces
from the New York TribUne Mid the
Evening Post- of the most violent charac
ter. The Jackson Mississippian . says:
"We publish these to exhibit to the
South the animus. of her enemies. The
real cause of - the war is - not to maintain
the Union'—not to 'protect the Federal
propert:y,! nor to hold possession of the
Federal metropolis '—but to destroy -the
social organization of the Southern
States." •
' It is to guard against such effects that
efforts are very properly made in official
directions to show that this is not a war
of subjugation ; that this is not a war for
the exlinction' of slivery where it consti
tutionally exists ; - that- it is not a war
waged under the auspices of the - Aboli
tion Society; that it is not a " war of free- -
dom," nor a " war of sections,", nor,/
war of conquest,"npr yet a war of/tg
gression car oppression of any otli , l des
cription. It is' simply a wsr entered into
by that portio of the
,AmerXsur people
who are loyal o the".constitsrfionally-elect
ed goverltnen of the Urrited, States, in
order to enforce the 4.4 of the land, and
to,maintain the nationality of the federal
Union against the political heresy that• is
but a temporary' confederacy of sovereign
States. /
There ire journalists, as we. have said,
who labor aniongst us to demonstrate
and : render it a war, of the North
against the South—a war of servile ennin
tipation—kwar to extirpate the `!
pecul
iar institution " from the whole United
States. There are pulpits, we regret to
say, which threaten to make this fratrici
dal combat still more fierce and sanguin
ary, by. inculcating the same incendiary
notiqn. Thereyre s mi4tmaries
of boli
tiontßm abroad who diligently falsify the
issue in the hope of accomplishing their
narrow and diSlionest aim, by falsely as
suming that the popular spirit of the
I North is as reckless as their 'own. nut,
"!-truth is mighty, and will prevail ;" an..l
did we *ant better proof of the ilonag
gressive policy of the Federal gpvern
' mept . than that; afforded by its puliiished
declarations, we might turn to the proela;
mation of Gen. Butler at- Baltimore—we
might turn to the letter of. General Har
ney at St. Louis—we might turn to. the
conduct of Commodore Pendergast, 'who
sent back seven fugitive slaves who would
haye escaped from Norfork in the U. S.
ship Cumberland—we Might turn to the .
recent successful application to Indiana
for assistance to suppress a servile :insur,
section in Kentucky. •All these are mat-'
ters of history, and all go to. show that
the war now forced upon us by disunion,
in the S4th, will not be 'wantonly con- •
ducted on our pail, but oi4 in that pa
triode spirit Which insist upon implicit
obedience to the . constitutional demands
of the Federal laws,and authority.
It is gratifying to know, we-repeat,
that the real object of the war, hOwever
artfully disguised by fanaticism in the
North and prejudice in the South, is J.,:e
ing thusfrankly expressed and fairly s un
derstood. It is satisfactory to feel that
we are all aware 'of what we are fighting
about. For - let it be thoroughly believed
that the whole conservatism of the North
has taken:a:decided share in-this uprising
of the LTniOn—a conservatism that has
always denouneed as unjustifiable every
foray of Abolitionism upon State rights,
and a conservatism quite as ready to db
battle for the South as rAninst it, -under
the Constitution. • Let, it be honestly
credited that this army of conservatism
is no apologists for John Brown raids,
'and no endorsers of local Liberty Tills,
"higher laws" dogmas,- or. "Chicago
platforms." It is none of these ; but it is
t the generous outpourings Of souls loyal to
the Union and willing to forget all politi
, cal distinctionl in the paramount duty of
sustaining the assailed nationality of their
common country.

as the following, from the Luzerne Union,
will show ; .
In - pursuance of a call, a large number
of the - Democratid citizens of Luzerne
county met at the Prospect House of
Joseli►i E. Vanleer,_,' near - Wilkes-Barre,
on Saturday, tth inst. All the Stars and
Stripes havina-been duly unfurled from
the top of thetitne-honored hickory, and
a duplicate flag, surmounted by an eagle,.
having beer raised at the house of Stiles
Williams a few rods distant, the meeting
was Called to order in Vanleer's large hall
when, on motion, Geo. • Steele iVitg
ellos'6i - chairman, and Caleb F. Bowman,
Geo_ B. Kulp and William 11. Alexander
as 'secretarieq. •
On motion, a committee to prepare,
and . .present resolutions was appointed,
consisting of Stanley" Woodward, E.'
Chase, G. B. Nichohibn,. A. R. Brundage,H. Hakes, Edmund Ta.ylor and Theodore
Smith, who, in due time, made-the follow
ing report : _
WHEREAS, Civil war has been inaugu
rated simultaneously with a Republican'
administration; and whereas, it has ever
been the Democratic faith that abolition
ism, or other sectionalism, mustinevitab
ly beget civil war and ruin our country,
therefore,.
nez , oltied, That the Democratic party is
the true and only -conservative patty Of
the country, and the Democratic creed
the only embodiment of principles.,under
which our- beloved country can prosper. •
Resilved, That we are not in favor of
• secession or nullification, whether the
right be claimed by South-Carolina Mass
achusetts, or Pennsylvania, believing that
the only remedy for all real or fancied in
; ter-State grievances lies within the Con
' stitutiOn and !Union, and not outside of
'them.
Resolved, That we are in favor of our
good did Constitution ansl, Flag, and . are
determined to wage perpetual war against
seee.,sionists, nullifiers, know nothings
and abolitionist s.
Resolved ; That we will, in view of the
lamentable conditiOn into which our op
ponents have brought the, country, labor
incessantly; until the last rebellious flag
shall fall, every abolitionist and other dis
unionist be hurltd from power, and one
constitution; one interest .and one .destiny
shall he recognized from Canada to the
Grill of Mexico, and froth the Atlantic to
the Pacific.
Reso/red:That,we will vigorously sup
port President Lincoln in all constitution
al and proper means for the protection of.
the American Flag, -andihe preservation
of the honor and integrity of the Govern
ment, as is manifestly evidenced; by the
large proportion of Democrats now in
the service of the United State Govern-
ment.
The meeting was addressed by C. F.

' war, or, in o_t)ier words, war Of the most

American war can be found in mere dy-,

This is a deliberate division , of a great
pcople Into
_t'iWo hostile camps, such as

The unanimity': of the people of the North
for the government, and against theSe

the most remarkable feattires of the pr6,-

And yet the Democracy has not changed
its ground in regard to political' estiona
