PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JA_NUARY 8, 1861.
We have so long enjoyed the blessings of
profound peace that ourrnilftary establishment
bas of late years commanded comparatively
little attention. The American people doubt
less possess as much courage and natural
martial genius as the citizens of any other
country; but not having been obliged to exert
their mighty energies in warlike enterprises,
they have almost exclusively confined their
attention, of late years, to peaceful pursuits.
Nearly half a century has elapsed since we
were obliged to contend against a Rieman
worthy of our stool, and' since the safety
of our country was really imperilled by
a foreign invasion. The Mexican War, it
is true, called into service a considerable
number of volunteers, who shed new lustre
upon our arms by their bravery, but that con
' test was not a protracted ono, and the Go
vernment did not accept the services of more
than a tithe of those who were willing and
,
atpciout to display their martial ardor. Since
then, the forces connected with the Standing
Army of the United States have been suffi
ciently powerful to efficiently perform all the
military service which has been rendered ne
cessary, by Indian outbreaks, or by Utah or
,Kansas disturbances, except in one or,
itt , tances et minor importance. .
ALL THE SCARFS,
The present generation has bad no actla
experience of the horrors of an extensive war;
nor of the trials, struggles, and privations to
which our Revolutionary ancestors wore sub
jected during the long contest which followed
the Declaration of Independence, when hos
tile armies overran the whole country ; nor
even during the War of 1812, when the Oat&
tol at Washington 'was destroyed, Baltimore
and New Orleans attacked; when even Phila
delphia was threatened ; when every man
capable of bearing arms was liable to be mus
tered into active service, and when the tido
of battle seemed at times to turn so (earthily
against us that the nation was filled with fear
ful forebodings, and keenly realized that it was
indeed fighting a ic second war of Indopen
dence.”
For many years after the last war with
Great Britain the militia organizations of the
different States were very carefully' preserved,
and every man was math) to feel occasionally,
his liability to a sudden transformation frOm a
civilian to a soldier; but gradually the militia
system has fallen more and•more into disuse
and discredit, and we have become teens
timed to look solely to our regular army and
tO the volunteer companies, composed of men
who have a special devotion to natal'? pur
suits, for protection in any emergencies that
may arise.
Now that new dangers, more fearfhl than
any we have heretofore encountered, loom up
dimly in the distance, as possibilities, if, not
probabilities, of the eventful future near' , at
hand, every thing rotating to our military re.
sources and arrangements_ acquires a new and
absorbing interest. In ordinary times not the
slightest remark is occasioned by the romoval
Of arms from one quarter of the Union to the
other, the transfer of garriaOhs, or the ssiifng
of our vessels of war in different directions,
But now, since we have Been evidences of
a disposition on the part of some of
the sworn agents of the Federal Government,
in high positions, to betray its strongkolds
into the hands of its enemies; since large
rptantAties of arms have been transferred*oto
points where they were perfectly_ safe to
other !mecum places, with no other apparent
object than to render them available for trea-
sonable purposes; since a revenue-cutter has
been surrendered by a faithless commander ts

seised by revolutionists, and nothiq but' th e
wise and gallant movement of Major AND)3I4•
son prevented the loss of our great strong
hold. in that quarter—it becomes a matter of
vital iraportanco to know upon what and whom
the American people can rely if the last dread
alternative of a general resort to arms to de,
send the Constitution and Government of the
country is forced upon them.

The Military Resources of our
Country.
To Tau EMIT% oft 71111 PRIMO : In your paper
of the 25th tilt., there was sta - elaborate artlele,
designed, apparently, to show that the greater the
expenditure of the people of this city at the opt
,re house, and, of course, at other like plans of
amusement, the greater would bo the increase of
tho wealth of the people of this city as a' whole,
-and they were, by the obvious inference, urged to
support the opera more lihorally than heretofore;
In plain English, to spend more money to support
lit. You elated that the total receipts of the twelve
opera nights, including the stockholders' gift of
$550, amounted to $8,222, and the expenses $8,150,
and then added: "Let us see how mach Philadelphia
:Ls directly benefited out of this," Then you state
the rent to have been $2 000; the Sum expended In
dry goods, oboes, for wardrobe, $1,807; hotel bills
of principals; at lead $1,000; and other expenses
for subordinates, de., made the whole $ 8 , 581 , or a
clear gain to the people of' Philadelphia of $358;
or, to use your words: "Thus, it will be seen that
the benefit of the opera wee clearly on our side,
, and not a tax upon our pookete."
Now, Mr. Editor, may I venture to suggest that
you are in error en this point? Or are we to un
derstand that if our mechanics, merchants, and
beeriness men should follow your advice, and eo in
orange the patronage of the• opera as to vend
slo,ooo per week fa maintaining operetta per
ferment, yet,* provided the latter re-expended
that sum in this city, in paying for rent of the
opera house, orchestra, hotel bills, de, Phila
delphia, as a whole, would gain, or not lose any-,
thing Whoa, you say that the opera is thus a
gain in dollars end cents, you treat of it as a toes-
non only of wealth. Now, in thatview, lotus look
at it. ft le clear that those who go to the opera,
and spend at It $lO,OOO par week, have consumed
that amount of their wealth unproductively.
What the opera-goers received for their $lO,OOO
were sight and Sound. They left the opera house
roarer reaped of wealth) by $lO,OOO than when
they entered it. It is just as if these opera•goers

a n T a‘ o lieb i eT e liea lbc
sure, they gave the spenders of it
pleasant thoughts for a few hours, and perhaps a
store of pleasant memories for many days to
coma ; but surely that was not what you meant
by saying that Philadelphia thus pined in
point of money's worth, or that which was use
ful, or wealth. But, say you, those to whom
they gave the $lO,OOO spent it among the
hotel-keepers, permanent musicians, do. But
that is not the test of gain to a community ; for
what would you think if the same enbsoribere and
operaloors bad paid theatres° $lO,OOO to a body of
workmen to dig a ditch, not for any useful pur
pose, but simply to give the mon employment, and
for the pleasure, if such should be their pleasure,
of seeing those men dig out the coil, and then
throw it beak again. That would give employ
wont apd support to a larger number of workmen,
and for a longer time than at the opera, and those
Workmen, being also permanent residents of this
city, would spend the $lO,OOO they had thus re
' °Mired among storekeepers, artisans, and other
quite as deserving and as useful no those among
whom the opera-singers spend it ; but would you,
therefore, encourage the repetition or increase of
auakan expenditure
Remember that every dollar spent as you recom
mend at the opera house is so much diverted from
the productive capital of a city, and from that
land which employe labor, and creates wages for
the laborer. The business man or merchant sonnet
have both the oaks and the penny, and what those
classes waste to pay a few opera-singing, and those
who depend on them, might have been better
used in employing and paying others, ins 4 a much

The Duty of Pennsylvania in the Pre-

[For The Prue.]
Would it not bo well for those who deom the
present a fitting time for politico-social reunions,
to reflect upon their resemblance to one who in
dulged in tousle while Rome was burning ?
Have they mastered the exigonoy of the time?
If so, we have a right to know how they purpose
planing Pennsylvania in a condition to make good
in campaigns, battles, and sieges, the hostile sec
tional theories of itinerant demagogues, ewers of
hatred in the hearts of men, maven lecturers with
a Miller for a theme, professed noneiembatente,
expounders of the Gospel, opposing concession and
nailing upon their hearers not to " render unto
Omar the things that are Ccesars," and upon ser
vants not to " obey their masters."
Do these convivial gentlemen, in their maudlin
zeal, these paid lecturers, vagrants from the cradle
of Abolitionism, who lovieWar and hate to fight /
these parsons who are apostles of strife rather than
of "ponce and good will to all men," realize tho
position of Pennsylvania? .

Should the impending, oriole end in blood, let
Pennsylvania rely 'on nothing more than brave'
words from that quarter. New England will fight,
if invaded, or there be money it. Abolitionism
had one fighting man, and it oanonized him. It
still glorifies, as the appropriate apostle of its

voted against Lincoln than in the South. Lot the
South remember this. Pennsylvania's vote was
for a tariff, and never has been given in hostility
to the South or for the negro. Her sympathies
are with the white man. \

Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri will ark for
what is right. Lot New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois see that they get it.
The above may appear liko timid counsel. The

Effect of Secession upon the Merchants
of Philadelphia.
(For The Prom]
PruLaysLrftlit, Tan. 4, 1861
It bee occurred to me that you, from your post•
tion at Washington, might inform me upon a
point of vital business importance. Under the
action of the Secession Convention of South Caro
lina, imports into Charleston are permitted to
lend upon paying the amount of duties duo upon
them in. funds receivable try the Bank of South,
Carolina. Now, it is known that bank notes of
and drafts upon the South, at par in Charleston,
may be purchased North at a discount of front
ten to fifteen per cent. If, therefore, goods shipped
from say Liverpool, or Antwerp, or Nirvana, are
landed at Charleston, the Northern consignee can
meet them there with such funds, upon paying
which they are at hie disposal, and he may reship
them coastwise or by raa to any point of the
Union.
Now, taking your office in this city as a centre,
there would bo but little difficulty, in a circle of
hall a mile around it, in estimating imports upon
which the tnerobants owing them have, in good
fatth paid at /east thirty nu/lions in specie to
the Genorai Government, as required by the
revenue laws.
If such a state of affairs is allowed, one may
readily conjecture what is to overtake our present
rate of business men, and that very shortly. Brit
what is desired at this time is that ,you will im•
part such information, which to yen, no doubt,
would be easily accessible, as will inform your
merchant readers in the premises, that they may
adjust their affairs accordingly. Mencrrear.

Mn. EDITOR: Yesterday morning the eitizene

to them, by •iarge placards posted over the town
calling upon thorn to meet at the court home in
the evening, to determine whether in the present
state of our national affairs, old Chester county
should offer the Government a regment or not,
Long before the hour appointed the streets in
every direction wore crowded with citizens, has
tening to the temple pipettes. -
The meeting was organized by calling U. V.
Pennypttoker, Esq., to the chair, and appointing
a number of vice presidents and secretaries.
Mr. Pennypaoker, on taking the chair, returned
thanks for the honor conferred, and expressed a
wish that the deliberationd of this meeting would
be for our country, its laws, and the maintenance
of the Union.
Mr. Gallium stated that be bad a resolution to
offer—a - resolution, though not orignial, could not
fail to thrill and be responded to by every-lover of
his country. It is from thanon of one of Pennsyl
vania's noble sons—Daniel Dougherty, Esq.— and,
Mr. President, it is this :

willing to do his duty towards all portions of our
oountry; was opposed to all 'compromises which
would degrade our manhood, and make us say that
our votes in the last eleetion would be repudiated.
Captain Given, -on resolutions, submitted the fol
lowing, which was unanimously adopted :

Mr. Lewis, who entered the 'room Just as , Mr.
Renee closed his amok, woe called on by the,
mooting to address it. lie said :
I was not aware, till within ten minutes that
there was a meeting here tonight, arid not till in
formed by the last speaker was I apprized of the
subjeet of your deliberations. I am,
therefore,
taken entirely by surprise, by the call now made

shall not be ashamed of—a peace that we can en-

Baorlace of principle, and without a dereliction of
the highest duties Gest we bwe to God and our '
country. I will go safer as any man ought to go
in the way of conoillation ; I will yield to any de
mand that justice can make, or honor allow; but
there is a limit, beyond which no consideration,
even of fraternal regard, can require me to pass.
I will not surrender one jot or one tittle of that
broad platform on which our heroics fathers built
the Constitution of our country, to secure the hams.
loge of liberty to their poetority, and by the con
legion of a noble example, to emandpate the
world. That, at all hazards, in its length and
breadth—in its height and its depth—is to be
maintained and preserved. [Cheers.)
We have reached a oxide when the manifesta
tion of a manly resolution is necessary, if we
would uphold the flag of the country and preserve
the Union from dismemberment. Had the Bede
ral Government boon true to the plain behests of
its constitutional duties, we should never have
'experienced the trouble that has now some upon
us. It is bonuses the Goveininent has been weak,
or vicious, that the people are now requited to aot.
IA proper degree of Jaoksonlan vigor would have
caused ovary fort along the whole seaboard where
.secession threatened to be fully manned, and pre

- that, of itzelf, neunt - srava — neell trartteleht to pre
serve the peace of tho oonntiy. Rad Jackson, or
any one like him, instead of Buchanan, occupied
,the Presidential chair, there would have been am
:cause for this assembling of the citizens. There
'would have been no rebel occupation of Port
Moultrie, or of United States arsenals There
'would have been no messages sent over the wires
'from Washington to Georgia advising the seizure
fief the Federal forts; or if there had been, and
the ovort not of treason had been committed, in
accordance with each advice—even though pro
ceeding from a Senator of the United States—the
traitor would not have escaped. [Cheers.) I
trust that the time is not far distant when one
equal to Jackson in vigor, and with all the wisdom
lard% the times demand,' will assume the reins of
Government—if a Government shall still be left to
'us till the fourth of March—and °ended us through
the mirth that surround us. [Chem] Eat tall
, that time comes , a necessity to laid upon us all, to
'see that the Republic shall suffer no detriment.
'lf foam shall he used to overthrow the Union,
forte will be required to uphold it. If any insane
Secessionist, at the head of a train of rebel follow
ers, should seek to seize upon the capital of the
eoantry, patriotism requires that the mad attempt
should be resisted. The preparation to resist It
will probably prevent it from being made. I look
upon the arming of the citizens to sustain the Go
vernment, as, in reality, a measure of pease, and
not of war. 1
Lot it ho seen that the patriotism of the country
fa luny aroused, and that an attack upon Wash
tegton would be hopeless of success, and it will as
suredly never be hazarded. Treason can flourish
only by the remissness of the orderly and well (De
posed. Secession at the Booth derives its whole
power front Northern imbecility. If we do our
duty, wo abaft soon find that patriotism is not a
virtue of the North only. The sober minds of the
South are already beginning to see where the mad
ness, that rules their revolution, is tending; and
they only need to know, that they will be well
backed by the border free States to be
im
pelled to make a euocessfal effort to escape
front the anarchy, to the vortex of which
they are hurried by the violence of men who
have everything to gain from a dissolution of
the bonds of social order, and nothing to lose,
but lives that are worthless, even to their
owners, The prospect of the dominion of mob
law cannot be comfortable to men of property in
the Cotton States; and if this egg of treason
is suffered to be hatched out, there is no escape
from each a conetniemation. We can save them
from it by showing that we maybe depended upon
whenever required to stand at their back and
sustain them in any conflict into which they may
be launched with the terrorist') of their revolu
tionary movement—and that we ought to de. We
owe it to them, we owe it to oureelvea, and we owe
it to the country ; we owe it to each and all as a
measure of peace and security; for we have some
to this, that peace can be upheld only by courage
and strength, anti by a power capable of emu
mending it and, if needs be, of conquering it.
We must show what we mean to do if the neeeesity
doll coins and then we may well hope that the
necessity will not come. The preparation to meet
the calamity that threatens is the surest UMW) to
avert it. May it be averted; but, at all events,
may our national flag continue to wave over an
undivided people. [Cheers.]
Mr. Darlington then suggested, that if there
woe any one present that differed from the senti.
ments expressed, or disagreed with the reeolutien
before the meeting, be be invited to speak. (Ap
plause.] Let us show, said he, that we are inlayer
of free speech, and are not afraid to invite it. He
then put a motion to that effect, and it was carried
amid loud ethers.
Mr. Pennypaeher then addressed the meeting in
a short, neat speech, In which he expressed his
concurrence with Mr. Lewis, towards whom, he
'said, hie heart warmed in the delivery of his
patriotic address; and he declared his conviction
that there would be a generous rally of all patriotic
citizens to sustain the Union, and preserve the stare
and stripes in their wonted glory.
A person far back in the room then moved that
Major Hodgson, of the ..Teffersoniane be invited to
address the meeting. This motion was vociferously
applauded.
After a little pause Major Hodgson arose. Ide
not consider, said be, that I belong to this crowd,
yet, I will say, that if Mr Darlington, Mr. Penny
packer, and Mr. Lewis, will agree to enrol them
selves for the supposed emergoney, they wilt not
And one recreant. I will do to, too, on that condi
tion. [lmmense cheering. j
After the cheering bad subsided, Mr. Lewis arose
and said:
Had this oriels come, nal! it must come, I should
have dosired, some years ago, when I was younger
than I am now, and with health better able to en
dure exposure, I would cheerfully have responded
to any oall the country would have made upon me;
and I will say, now, that if the mad-cap traitor
Wise, or any that may be affiliated with him, shall
attempt to seize upon the capital and prevent the
Inanguration of Lincoln, I will be among those that
will be prompt to resist the attempt, and to see that
the inauguration takes plate. [(heat 'applause..l
With three cheers for the Constitution, the Union,
and the enforcement of the laws, the meeting ad
