MONDAY, OCTOBER G, 1862.
Address of the National Union State Cen
tral Committee.
To the Loyal People of Pennsylvania:
The recant and formal. admission of the Chair
man of the Breckinridge State Central Committee
that• he prepared, and' was ready to present to a
State Convention of-his-own friends, a resolution
contemplating the dismemberment of these States
at a period when the Cotton States had seceded,
and when all American patriots wore agonized be
iween doubt and fear, imposes upon the National
Union Central COmMittee an imperative duty.. We
do not address our fellow-citizens as alarmista—we
make to them no partisan appeal—when we declare
that this admission; immediately before an election
for members of Congress and for other representa%
five; judicial, and municipal officers', demands not
only rebuke and repudiation, but such measures off
precaution and prevention , as will defeat the design
now fully disclosed to tear our great old State from
that national family circle of which she has been
the strongest stay,and the most beautiful adorn
ment. The Breokinridge organization in Pennsyl
vania cannot escape the solemn accusation of being
entirely committed to this The terrible al
ternative coolly contemplated by their' °initial=
bad been previously suggested'at a io-callisielYein,o
oratio meeting, held in the city of
at National . Hall; on - the 16th "of. ffarittaiy; 1861.
The resolution there adopted was as follehis :
"Twelfth. That, in the deliberate j udg men t of
,
the Democracy of Philadelphia , and, so far as wo
know it, of Pennsylvania, the dissolution of.the.
Union by the separation of the whole South—a re
itsult we shall most sincerely lament--may release
this •Comnzonwealth to a large extent from:the
'Weida tehtch now connect her with the Confede
racy, eaxept so far as for temporaryeol.ventence

• liss:,Mieinhled for that_ piirpese,,to deteriphie_with
whom her lot should be .cast,wlether ;zeta the
,North and East, whose fanaticism has precipi
tated this misery upon us, or with our brethern of •
-the South, whose wrongs we feel as our °ion ; or
whether Pennsylvania should stand by hereelf, as a
distinct community, ready when occasion offers to
• bind together a broken Union, and resume her
place of, loyalty, and devotion.," • .
In eider to prove the treasonable purposes of the
_leaders of.the party, of. which Mr. . . Hughes, is the
_representative, ,it is_ only. necessary.to_atate ,that
nearly all their .acts and words _from January and
.February, 1881, down to the present time; have
been so many proofs of their conviction of the jastice
the views contained !alike in the reeolutipn
"adeptedit7National Halliphiladelphie, is Jaaaary;
'18:61; and in that preplied and piirposied to be
gtffered by , Mr. Huehas to a Demooratip S4te Con
,Fehrnary of the same year, They may
lot, in express terms, have:endorsed the suggestion
teidrag Pennsylvania out of the Union, hut in nearly
-every county convention they adopted • resehitions
and proclailxied sentiments, the object and effect of
:Which wee - to embarriess the General Adminietra

.devastation t and ruin which must result - from the
-separation "of the Republic, so earnestly desired
both by theari,eil and unarmed foes of • our Com-.
`ran country: , '"
Regarding,
.therefore, the resolution noiv

Of Tsartko•Selo and Peterhoff. At the latter place, the

which aplenty set In motion by command of the Emperor,
weye . aieCiallY made to •perform on the occasion of his

'gardens in court equipages, and afterwards :sumptuously

hibited at a time when the prose of England was howling
for intervention, and that of France, more cautiously,
following iu the same track, have—as they were meant .
to have—a welcome significance.
The Court has been absent-from Bt. Petersburg the
greater part of the summer. The Emperor has just re •,
turned from a week's visit to Moscow, which is still more
truly the Russian capital than this city. Gen. Cameron

.In Moscow, the enperb.palace on .theKrenolia.hill, the
imperial treasury, *and every other place of interest,:were
at once thrown cpen to Gen. Cameron and his party. I
understand that two or ,three .prominent Bruistan noble
, men, haiing anticipated his. visit at. an oerlier• poilod,
had, made arrangements to charter a steamer and take
him to visit their estates on the Toiga.
~It is to be re- .
petted that he was not able to he absent from hi; poet .

Nijni•Novgored, which is only known by the annual
fair Where Europe meets Asia In trade, is, in reality, one
of the most remarkable places in the world. Its situation
and anaarance are so picturesque and peculiar,• that,
even after knowing' Moscow, the stranger is taken by
surprise. The fair-ground occupies a triangle between
the (km and Volga rivers, which here unite; while the
city, on the opposite aide of the Oka, occupies both the
base and summit of a steep hill, three hundred feet in
height. On this bill is the ancient s Kremlin, with a num
ber of churches and monaetertes, studded with oriental
domee, green or gilded. At the confluence of the rivers,
the hundreds of trading vessels are 'crowded eo thickly to

our whole force was drawn up to make a final charge

having sufficiently tested the mettle of the reconnoitring

LATE SOUTHERN NEWS.
Effect of the Emancipation Proclamation—
What the Rebel Papers say about it—From
Lee's Army, &c., &c.
[From the Richmond Enquirer, Oct. I.]
Abraham Lincoln's proclamation, ordaining ser
vile insurrection in the Confederate Stater, has not
been for a moment misunderstood either North or
South. After undertaking to destroy tour thousand mil
lions of oar property at s dash of the pen, Lincoln pro.
ceede to say :
"And the ExeCutive Government of the United States,
inclneies the military and naval authority thereof, will
recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and
wills do no act or acts to repress nth persons or any of
them, in any efforts they . may make for their setael
freedom."
- Ibis is as moth as to bid the slaves rise in insurrection;
with the assurance of the aid of the whole military and
naval power of the United States.
• Is there any one wbo has not reflected upon the ass
tereof the agency which Lincoln now invokes A per
title war la necessarily one of exteimination. and nit; pe.:
cellar character of the negro adds to its inevitable .hor
rors. Released from authority, be is at once a savage;
and the very ignorance whicti'drives him to hie own de
struction stimulates him to the darkest excesses. How,
wee it in Southampton , in 1831; when' Nat Turner en
gaged in the work to which 'Lincoln now Invites? • Not
astedied with murdering the few men who fell into their
power. they massacred even the babe in the cradle - They
in this manner exterminated the family Of Mr. Travis;
Turner's kind and indulgent master. Next Mrs. Waller,
and her ten children were slain and piled in a heap on
the floor. Near by, a school of little girls was captured,
and all massacred except one, who escaped. Thefamily
of Mrs 'Vaughan was next destroyed. In this manner,
between Sunday night and Monday noon they had mnr
dered lifey-fiye persons, neatly all of whom were women
aced children. This is the sort of work Lincoln desires
to see. This is the agency - which Lincoln now invokes.
It is one which the most catkins highwaiman should
shedder to employ. This is now his war drys!' •s It is "as
if the [vilest Lend] that.fell,had raised the. battles cry,
of hen rr."
Butler has been called internees; by common content
•he is kr own as the beast. But Butler is a saint com
peted to his' muter. In addition to all that Butler au:
thorized, Lincoln adds butchery—even the•betchery of
babes. Lar onset is too poor to furnish a name suitahle
for tech's' character. Nay, the whole catalegrie of die
honoring epithets is not sufficient to do Justice to it.
"Murderer" is a termsof honor compared to Lincoln's
mime:- "Child and women murderer" tells but part of
the story. To -this is added the cowardice of employing
an agent; to this - belongs the additional fact that the
agent, when unloosed:brim - savage; to this is. added• the
farther fact that Lincoln dooms his agent to destruction.
What eball 'we call html Co ward; aseruiain, savage, the
