Governor Curtin in the Oil Region.

TvrtrsviLLic, Crawford county,
September 14, 1863.
The people of this celebrated oil region turned out
to-day to welcome the. Governor of Pennsylvania,
The town was filled with ten thousand - people, from
all parts of - the country, who came to see the sal•
dier's friend, the noble Governor of the loyal 'old
Coinmonwealtt:. He was escorted to the Moore
-House, where the`people met him to grasp his hind,
and extend their friendly greetings, and for nearly
four
hours he was shaking hands with the honest
yeomanry" of the cimutry.
A meeting was organized s .and the people listened
with marked attention, and the deepest interest, to
the address of the Governor. There were hundreds
of Democrats present, who were determined to vote
for the man who had faithfully given all. his
orgies to support their Governmerit.,

Freedom in New Orleans.
[From an Occasional Correspondent.]
NEW ORLEANS, LA., Sept. 8, 1863
We have here an organization that is doing a great
deal of good for the cause of the Union, known as
the Free State Central Committee. At a meeting
'of the Committee lately, a series of resolutions were'
before it; and among them one referring to the Hon.
Wm D.dtelley, a member of Congress from your
State, - which led to a very olessant episode. The
reaction was an endorsement of Mr. Kelley's
course. Mx. Rufus Waples, an eminent lawyer,
who was driven from Texas for his loyalty, and who
is now the 'United States Diet riot Attorney, stated
that the course of Mr. Kelley had ever been in favor
of freedom and the best interests of the South, and
- from personal interchange of views with the Penn.
syliania Representative, he knew that his heart was
fin , in the cause After - Mr. Waples - had ceas , A,
7 o
and said that he had known Mr. Kelley in boyhood
and that: his principles were the same then as now—
that he had:worked with him in Philadelphia and
admired hinillB a public man as heartily as he ad- -
mired him as a fellow-apprentice. Mr. Waples fur
ther stated that on the iloor.of the Mouse, during
the. last session, Mr. Kelley, in reply to some taunt
upon the laboring Classes, had claimed to be:a labor
ing man .himself. Theie statements were greeted
with applause, a strange thing for haughty, slavery
loving, and patrician tounaina. The Committee
consists of sixtyrfour members, all true to the cause.
They are delegates from the different Union associa
tions in this city and vicinity, and their specialty is
to obtain a 'free.State constitution for this State.
A Defender of Free • I.)eeen.
To the Editors of the Evening Post:
Some twenty-five years. ago Charles C. Burleigh
:visited Wilkesbarre. in Pennsylvania, for the pur
pose of expressing free speech in behalf of freedom.
He was denied this right constitutional, and escort.
ed out of that pretty village in a manner not pro.
vided•for in the instrument which' we call the char
ter of American liberty. A meeting of the people,
in which George W. Woodward, then an aspiring
lawyer, took a prominent part, led to this summary
expulsion of the voluntary free speaker. Mr. Bur
leigh can no doubt testify to the facts, and the Rev.
A. L. Post produce the files of the Montrose Speck•
tor, containing the particulars.
The Hon. George W. Woodward, now a Guberna
torial candidate for Pennsylvania, is the identical
person who thus denied freedom of speech to one of
his fellow-citizens. He is the candidate of that
party so clamorous for freedom of speech in behalf
of slavery and rebellion. His record is consistent.
Freemen of Pennsylvania pause, reflect, and dis
card the man- who has shown himself capable of
wresting from an American citizen his most sacred
rights. A SON OF THE KEYSTONE STATE.

The Late Naiial Assault on, Fort , Sumpter.
[Correspondence of the New York Herald.]
FLAGSHIP PHILADELPHIA,
. LIGHTHOUSE INLET, S. 0., Sept. 11, 1883,'
For some time , pmst an expedition against Fort
Sumpter has been contemplated by Admiral Dahl
gren, and on Tuesday last, the Bth, it was determined
to,carry the plaq into execution. For that purpose
orders were given.to tlie different vessels of Charles
tont° send detachments of sailors and marines, with
=posts, to; the Sagchlp, preptired for the proposed
-:Movement; '
The marine battalipnon shore was ordered to send
one hundred men and six officers to the flagship to
participate in assault, and the naValliattery was
also to send its quota, consisting of four officers and
fifty.three men.
At dark all the detachments had arrived, and at
about eleven o'clock the expedition, consisting of
over twenty boats, and with 34 officers and 413 men,
of.which NO were marines, was placed under the
command of Commander Thomas IL Stevens, of the
Patapsco, with Lieutenant Commander S. B.
Ilunce and Lieutenant' Moreau Forrest aa aids.
'Lieutenant Commander Williams ' of the Wiese
=hickon, was placed in charge of the first division of
boats ; Lieutenant Remy, of the naval battery, of
the second ; Flag Lieutenant Preston, of the third;
:Lieutenant Higginson, of the Powhatan, of the
:lourth, and Captain McCawley, commanding the
'marines; and Ensign Craven, of the Housatonic,
the,Eith division. Captain Stevens and his aids
led the flotilla in the Admiral's barge.
was to assail the fort on three sides—one party land
ing-on the gorge wall, and attempting to ascend the
debris' and gain the parapet; a second was to at•
tempt to • gain- entrance through the lower etribra
stires, and a third was to act as a reserve. The Da[•
fodil took the boats in "tow, and steamed up to a
short distance from Sumpter, when they cast off and
formed in line of attaßk. •
The boats ruined cautiously, :along, and made slow
progress necessarily, as the proper line of attack had
to be observed.
THE BOATS'APPROACH POET SIII4IPTER.
At halt , past one the first lineof boats approached
closely the fort, and were discovered by the sentry
on the walla of the worlc, and sharply chal:enged.
No reply was made to the question of "What boat
is that l" A second challenge tof, the same nature
failing to elicit a reply, the sentry discharged his
musket, and oallect to the officer below to " Turn
out the guard." The boats, on - being hailed pulled
quickly to the fort, but before they could reach it,
several, shots had been fired at them. The boats had
dashed rapidly up, the formation of the line of ad
vance being broken, and each: boat striving, to effect
the first landing.
A , LANDING EFFECTED
Seven boats succeeded in getting alongside of the
ddbris- on the gorge wall; the others, while pushing
up, were met with a sharp fire of musketry. Signal
lights were birned from Sumpter, and in a moment
all the:rebel batteries bearing on the fort opened a
fire of shell.-and shrapnel, on the fort itself, and, of
'course, 011 - any party that might be about its base.
About one hundred and fifty sailors and marines got
ashore, and instead of finding a elope of ddoria upi
to the parapet of, the gorge wall, they found a per
pendicular range of masonry, which the rebels had
constructed, meeting them full in the face. All their
efforts to find a place of ascent were fruitless. Not
a soul could ascend the wall, and the party found
themselves in a critical position. The rebels had
manned the Parapet - with infantry, and were also
firing through loopholes, formed by sand-bags,,in the
upper slope of the darts. In addition to this; five
hand grenades were hurled upon the assaulting
party's heads, and bricks were detached and tumbled
down upon them. Three of the boats were torn to
pieces by hand grenades or shells from the distant
rebel batteries, and retreat was being rapidly cut off.
At thiejuncture a rebel - ram came down and opened
fire with grape and canister upon the boats, the
rebels on the fort throwing flashes of light upon the
dark waters about them from a large locomotive
lamp. 'As each boat was brought to light volleys of
musketry, canister, and grape, were poured in from
the fort and gunboat, and many men killed and
wounded. The only mark for our men to fire at was
this light, and a volley or two was thrown at it, but
to little effect. Finally, a continuance of their
efforts to +carry outthe plan • being evidently of no
avail, and promising only a heavy lose of men
without any gain, the order to retire was given.
Four boats camd off from the landiog at the gorge,
and three, being destroyed, were left-there, Only a
small, portion of the storming party, succeeded in re
gaining their boats. Many were killed and the
balance taken prisoners.
I=3
About ten officers and one hundred and four men
are mieeing—eighty known to bekilled or wounded.
The officera taken prisoners are at follows :.Lieut.'
Corn. Williams, Lieut. Berney, Flag Lieut. Pres
ton, Lieut. Brower, Ensign Porter and Acting ales
ter's Mate Bovey; Lieute. Bradford and Meade, of
the marine corps . ; Acting Master's Mate-;McCar
thy, of the Canandaigua.
Lieutenant Bradford, - of the marine corps, is the
only :officer wounded. Sai'maker Brayton is also
among the wounded. Lieutenant illgginson, who
was to have gained access to the fort through the
embrasures of the lower casemates, in the northeast
face, found a landing impracticable, and was cam•
pelled to give up the attempt, as his boats .were
thumping heavily on sharp rocks at the base of the
fort. Lieutenant Lowry, of the marines, who had
charge of two boats, discovered the rebel steamer
bearing down upon his boats before he had reached
the fort, and as she opened fire and seemed deter
mined to run the boats down, he ordered his divi
sion to, pull for shoal water. '-The steamer soon
turned and _steamed towards Fort Moultrie, and
Lieutenant LoWry ordered his boats to pull up again
to the fort. Other boats were driven off' by this
steamer and prevented from co-operating as effectu
ally as they might have done. It may, perhaps, be
regarded as a fortunate circumstance that all the
boats did not effect a landing, as itwould only have
resulted ill all increftse of the rebel gaiffin'prisoners.
The want of success of the expedition is due to
causes over which neither Admiral Dahlgren nor
Commander Stevens bad any control. The appear
ance of the tidies on the gorge face was deceptive.
Instead of sloping gradually from the parapet to the
water's edge, it was found to slope only from the
parapet to the top of the sand.bag barricade or tra
verse, which the rebels piled up to protect the wall
against our breaching batteries. This wall of sand
bags wat at least twelve feet high, and without the
aid of scaling ladders no one could possibly reach
the top, from which, perhaps, it might have been
possible to mount the parapet or the mass of the de
bris. , This fact was not discovered until the attempt
to scale the wall had been made, and then it was un
der a heavy fire. Retreat was cut off so quickly by
the destruction of the boats, and the appearance of
the rebel steamer, at a short distance only from the
gorge, that the only sensible alternative between
death and surrender was made by the party remain
ing on the landing, and they gave themselves up' as
prisoners, and were speedily inside Fort Sumpter,
although not as captors.
BEAUREGAF.D'S BLUSTER.
The Times' correspondent writes :
The prisoners including the officers, are still with
in the fort . A! flag of truce, sent out yesterday,
brought- the intelligence from Lieut. Preston that
he and his fellow•officers were well treated, and as
comfortable as- the circumstances would admit.
Bully Beauregard took the opportunity of sending
the threatening message to Admiral Dahlgren that
he' would place the prisoners on the parapet of
Sumpter if the navy made it an object of fire. Ad
miral Dabigren replied, with as much dignity as the
nature of the case would justify, that if he (Beaure
gard) should resort to such a heathenish mode of
procedure, then he might look at the same hour for
ebel prisoners tied to the outer surface of the moni
tors' turrets. It is thought the 'answer of the admi
ral•will do much toward bringing the bobtailed
Beauregard to a sense of the common rules of civi
lised warfare. -
THE FREEDMEN ON.PARIS ISLAND
[Correspondence of. the Tribune.
_
PARIS ISLAND, August
Whenever the negroes do a good deed -it should
find a chronicler, not that their good deeds are any,
marvels in themselves, but because of the opinion
" that no good thing can come out of this Nazareth,"
and because of them who have hardened their hearts
to believe a lie, that may be obliged to change their
opinion.
Two weeks ago, at our old church, I told the
people there assembled that I had read in the North
ern newspapers that the colored laborers on Lady's
Island, Port Royal, and St. Helena, had contributed
of their stores of vegetables and garden products to
the hospitals; and suggested that Paris Island should
not fall behind in good works and charities, and ex
pressed-a hope that they would each contribute their
mite to aid the wounded and sick soldiers. I did not
urge the matter much; I could not havethe heart to
do it, for our ,whole island seemed like a hospital—
small-pox, chickenpox, fevers, and all manner of
diseases incident to the extreme hot month of August
prostrating them.
What do you thinkthese " descendants of baboons
and, monkeys!' did I Before they left the church
they quietly laid their plans, and on the Thursday
followings fair wagon load of sweet potatoes, pump
kins, tomatoes, chickens, eggs, ochre, green corn, and
melons, were sent up on a row-boat to-Beaufort;
and deposited at the doors of the hospitals.
It was a small offering, but it was their best, and
given with a heartiness and good-will that might put
to blush many a laggard movement among the mot
ley and cultivated children of Father Adam.
Put this little item into your pockets, you who
apologize for New York mobs, you who help, to burn
down colored orphan asylums, and murder and hang
negroes ; you who hate and despise the black man,
,who slander him and would herd him witir - the
brute, divest him of every right, and make him your
dog to follow you, your horse to carry you, your ox
to plough your corn, take this item and ponder it, re
membering that though you may have all things else
which this negro has not, yet "wanting charity," ye
are nothing..,
The virtues of the emancipated negro are the in
herent growth of his. humanity ; , his vices, are the
teaching of slavery- 7 4y both precept and .example
from the white man—and nothing astonishes me
more, as day by day I read in the lives and charac
ters of these people the records of that accursed -in
stitution, than that they have one vestige of virtue

General. Blunt's Campaign.
The Fart Smith, Arkansas, correspondent of the
Mireouri Democrat, under date of the 3d instant,
yirites:
General lihmt and his gallant little Army of the
Frontier entered this place day before yesterday,
After driving the rebel Generals Steele and Cooper
beyond Perryville to Red river, he returned north
ward, and detaching two brigades in different di
rections to hold and - guard the newly-possessed.
country, he took Cloud's brigade and marched in
this direction. Encountering Cabell .with 2,600
troops at Poteau creek, twelve miles west of here,
the rebels were soon put to flight, and the Federal
forces marched into this fort. Colonel Cloud has
been made commander of the post. present force
consists of the let Arkansas (white loyal) Infantry,
the 2d Kansas Volunteer Cavalry, the eth llfrissouri
Cavalry, and four pieces of Robb's Indiana Battery.
Other forces of this army are in supporting distance,
and no interruption to the continued further occupa
tion of this section of country need be apprehended.
The looks of the citizens here, as we marched into
the place, were as various as their dispositions:
Some were sulky, lowering, mad, and dissatisfied.
Some have not yet left their houses, but remain se
cluded.' The Germans, of whom there are several
hundred in this vicinity, are enthusiaetically
and welcomed our troops with every expression of
gratitude and pleasure. - Two regiments of Creek
Indiana, who have been under the rebel Colonel
Mclntosh, have deserted, and are coming into our
camps by ecores. The Union Government may ne
gotiate a treaty of peace and alliance with the Creek
Nation at its pleasure. They have rebelled against
the Confederacy in consequence of the orders for
them to take their families and move south to Bed
river. This they-will never do.
You will hcar with sadness that General Blunt is
seriously ill. Some of his physicians regard him as
dangerous. He has a slow, nervous fever, exhaust
ing and inteneely painful, causing almost utter
sleeplessness, and a total prostration of all the ener
gies of his body. It has affected him through all
this brief campaign. He was sick whemhe started,
but felt that there was a work before him which
must be done. Sealed in hisambulance, he hair di.
rested the smallest details of every movement, and
each day's labor, that was more than enough to tire
a well man, has been followed by a wakeful night,
rheumatic pains, and the diagnosis of a hell which
a fever presents. He is now entirely prostrated;
but the objeste of his campaign are accomplished,
and we hope that rest and an absence of anxiety
will speedily restore him.
MIL FORREST'S ELOQUBaCE.—The New York
World has the following opinion in a recent criti
cism of Mr. Forrest's Brutus:
We must tell Mr. Edwin Forrest candidly that
we are getting wearied with steadily chronicling
his racemes. There is no let up to his prosperity.
Re has worked the treadmill of popularity persis
tently for ever so many years, breaking the bones of
athletic reviewers beneath th‘cog-wheel of the ma
chine.,•and sawing into-fragMents the iumberpiles of
tough criticism that have been tumbled upon him.
"Ile disdains the advances of time, and refuses to turn
: gray or weer wrinkles to oblige the proprietor of the
Scytheand hour-glass. He is lusty in twigs and perfect
.in muscular development. His intere.st. art
is even greater than ever before, and he had heroically
;parted with many original sins against taste - and
vraisemblance. In a word, he is much superior to
the Forrest who used to fill the old Broadway
Theatre putts ago, and who exercised an „influence
upon the minds of men almost, if not quite, equal,
to that of Webster or Clay. Oratory now perhaps,
is his forte, although his mimic power has not been
impaired. We should judge that it is-his eloquence
rather than his impersonations that= Secures the
wonderful interest night after night manifested-in
his presence. He seems to have got at - a portion of
the secret by which Demosthenes made himself im
mortal, and it requires no great discernment to dis.
cover that, should Mr. Forrest apply his didactic
ability in the more serious business 'of human
affairs, he would wield an influence upon the destiny
of states and nations that might bind his memory
to the last pane of history.
NEW BASE OF ROSECRANS' SIDTPLIES.-11. letter
from Stevenson, Alabama, says that arrangements
have been made to complete the Northwest Rail
road, leading in a southwest direction from Nash
ville to the Tennessee river.. This road was pro
jected before the war, and all the grading had been
done, except a distance of four miles, at the time of
its abandonment.: The entire length of the road is
seventy-five_ miles. The_ iron is ready for it, arid a
force has been placed at work to complete itS With
in the next two months it will be finished, ididYß.orte
crane' army need no longer rely on the erbivded
Louisville and. Nashville road for its nice*les.
Boats can ascend the Tennessee river at all seasons
to the point where the road terminates, and supplies
can be rum into Nashville at a much more expedi
tious rate than through the old channels. The wrens.
phis and Charleston road could be restored without
serious labor. The only important bridge missing
la that at Decatur, over the Tennessee. It will be
seen, therefore, that the advance of this army will
not depend upon one slender iron parallel, when
`these improvements are completed, as was the case
last y ear.
•
THE BORDER Honnons.—Governor Carney,of
7:ansas, hi his recent letter to Gen: Schofield, said;
"You will not misunderstand me. Ido not use, or
intend to use, any threat. I tell you only what our
people, almost to a man, feel. The excitement over
the' E.I.ICCCI3B of Quantrel is intense—intense all over
the State,
and I do-tot see how I can hesitate to de
mand, or how you can refuse to grant, a court, of
inquiry, by which the causes of that fatal success
may be fully investigated, and all the facto laid be
fore the public. Igo even further. I demand that
this court' of inquiry shall . have power to investi
gate all-matters touching military wrongdoing in
Kansas."
To which General Schofield thus frankly re
sponded:
"I have forwarded a copy of your letter. of the
tn - thn_.....i.......t._and - requefil.ed the
Pr( aident to appoint a court of illgulug—With , full
owers to investigate all matters touching murerri-y—
-affairs in Kansas, and have urged it very strongly.
I have no. doubt the court will be- appointed, and -
that the responsibility for the sad calamity which
has befallen LasWence will be placed where it pro.
perly belongs."' .
THE GREAT WEALTH N:EVADA.—Rev. Mr.
Simpson, of the Methodist Church, in Chicago, in
his Thanksgiving sermon, gave the following
sketch of the untold store of mineral wealth of Ne
vada :
When in California, I visited the mines, and I
thought the time would come when they would be
exhausted; but in the mines of Nevada there are no
indications visible. The more the mines are worked,
the richer the yield. The extent of the ledges con
taining the preciOus metal no man has yet been able
to meaeure.
I will mention a single instance, to give you some
idea of the inexhaustible supply. In what is termed
the Ophir Mine; a single lead, as ills called there, is
fifty-five feet in thickness, and inclines only at an
angle of five degrees. Think of the extent of that--
nearly as far as Mona this altar to yonder wall. This is
all silver mingled with gold. There is more gold in
value than silver, but more silver in weight than
gold. The company have only two hundred feet
working, and, out of that they are now realizing
about ten thousand dollars a day. There is this
peculiarity about - it, that the deeper the mine
extends the richer and more profitable it becomes.
When I was there, they had penetrated two hun
dred,-feet. There were live chambers which they
had dug out, one under the other, leaving three
large pillars to support the roof. They would sink
a shaft down about forty feet, make another plat
form, dig out the metal, leaving pillars - as before,
and then sink - another. One of the directors told
me each lower platform gave ap much yield as all
the other platforms combined ; that is, the fifth plat
form was as valuable 113 the four above it put to
gether. Such wealth was never a matter of contest
among the powers of earth Wore.
THE Mertrz ELECTION.—The Portland Press very
humorously characterizes the failure of the Demo.
.cracy.in the Maine election - :
"The graduates of a college class of someten years
ago, tell a story of the late Prefessor Cleaveland,
which Is applicable to the late election. The Pro
fessor was getting quite animated in sonic illustra
tion, when his great compound blow-pipe, retort, or
whatever it was, burst, just as the grand principle in
science was being made plain, and nearly destroyed
the Professor himself. Pulling the pieces of glass
out of his hair and clothes, the Professor said:
" Gentlemen, an accident has prevented the demon
stration, but the principle remains the same as I have
described it to you." That is the way with the elec
tion, and the people will realize it' every day more
and more. Too much gas, generated by those chemi
cals that enter into the manufacture of greenbacke,
burst our retort, but the principle is left."
-ARREST OF AN EX PROVOST MansEAL.:--Provost
Marshal Strachan, of- Palmyra, Mo., has been ar
rested, charged with having embezzled $30,000 from
the Government. He has also been indicted by a
grand jury for having committed an outrage upon a
woman under heartrending, humiliating, and ag
gravating circumstances. The woman was the wife
of one of the ten- rebels cOndemned to be shot by
Gen. McNeil, about a year ago, for breaking their
parolee.
CoNFISOATION 61THE. REBEL 'GBNERAL TRIM.
BLE'S PROPERTY.—The Whelling Inteiligencer of
Saturday says
“ The confiscation case of General Isaac R. Trim
ble was disposed of yesterday in the United States
Court. Trimble is the man who distinguished him
self in the great Baltimore riots, at the breaking out
of the war.. Re is now a general in the rebel army.
The marshal seized in February, 1662, one hundred
and sixty-boxes of railroad fastenings in this city
which belonged to Trimble. The property was con
demned to sale for the benefit of the United States.
Trimble is the patentee of the fastenings.”
Truk ROWING MATOH.—Those interested in boat.
ing matters will be pleased to learn that Ward and
Hamill have again .$ come to terms,r and that Mon
day, the 28th-inst., has been agreed upon as the
time for another contest. The race will be over the
five-mile course, at Poughkeepsie—the same upon
which the last race took place. One thousand dol
lars aside has been staked on the result, and Hamill
and his friends feel sanguine of his ability to carry,
off the wager in triumph. Hamill, being obliged to
meet Ward on his own waters once more, gets two
hundred dollars for his expenses. The difficulty
about
_turning the, stake-boat has been settled by
Ward, yielding the point to Hamill, so that the ar
rangements are complete, and the race *ill - take
place on the day stated, should the weather permit.

E:I , : - EOUTIV33 MANSION,
W.S.Szuterros, August 17,1863,
Mr DEA/I. SIB: Months ago I should have ac
knowledged the receipt of your boolcand accompa
nying kind note, and I now have to beg your pardon
for not having done so.
_For one of my age I haVe seen very little of the
drama. The first presentation of Falstaff I ever
saw was yours here last winter or spring. Perhaps
the best compliment I can pay is to say, as I truly'.
can, lam very anxious to • see it again. Some of
Shakapeare , s plays I have never read, whilst others
I have gone over perhaps as frequently as any un
professional reader. Among the latter are " Lea,"
"Richard III.," "Henry VIII.," "'Hamlet," and
especially "Macbeth." I think noneequals " Mac
beth." It is Wonderful. Unlike you gentlemen of
the profession, I think the soliloquy in " Hamlet,"
commencing, "0, my offence is rank," surpasses
that commencing, "To be or ztot to be." But pardon:
this small attempt at •criticiam. I should like to
hear you pronounce the opening speech of "Richard
the III."
:Will you not soon visit Washington again' If
you ao, please call and let me make your personal
acquaintance.
