THR RECEPTION OF 011 R VOLUNTEERS.—A Base
FABRICATED:C.—The Philadelphia Inquirer of yes
terday, under the bead of "Aireilcinail at Raft/-
iv," contained what purported to be a "Spe
cial Despatch" from this city—anonymous, of
course—stating that the appointment of several
preMittent , Peolocroto upon the Committee of Ite
caption, (which was named jointly by the Presi
dents of Councils, and consists of an equal num
ber of both parties) had given "great dissatis
faction:" that "the Union League and citizens
had passed resolutions dentetnittg the act as an
outrage, and refusing to join in the reception un
less the objectionable names are withdrawn ;"
that a despatch had been received from the eel.
diere refusing to be received by the City Coun
cils, and deciding to be received by the League;
that the soldiers, " to express their strong in
dignation against the copperheads, are prepar
ing a banner inscribed 'Down with all Copper
heads' "—and that the Fire Department has ca-
led a meeting "to co-operate with the League."
Now, there is hardly a grain of truth in this
whole story. The Committee, upon which these
alleged "objectionable names" appear, has held
two meetings, to make arrangements for the re
ception of the soldiers, and their action bar been
friendly and harmonious. No "citizens" have
passed resolutions denouncing the appointment
of this Committee and refusing to join in the
reception on that account; and we have no pub
lic knowledge of any ouch action even by the
"Union League." The only resolutions front
that quarter, which have been made public, are
those relinquishing the assumed direction of the
reception into the bands of the City Authorities,
where it should be. As for the refusal of the sol
diers to be received by the Centralia, that is also
a base fabrication. At least, we are informed by
a gentleman who spent all of Thursday in camp
With the soldiers, and returned home yesterday
morning, that he heard nothing of that sort
While he was there, neither did he see anything
of the "banner" that this lying correspondent
says is in preparation. For ourselves, we have
too good an opinion of the soldiers of the 12Sth
to believe that, composed as they are of intelli
gent men of both parties—many of them old
friends and neighbors—they would mar the
joy of the welcome that is preparing for them by
parading an offensive banner of any kind.
It is easy to see that this " special despatch "
of falsehoods has been made up by some miser
ably malicious radicals here, for the express
purpose of gratifying their extreme partisan
prejudices and hatreds. They are determined
to make political capital out of the soldiers in
some way, and seek to accomplish their unwor
thy object by introducing the firebrand of party
rancor and strife among them. But we trust the
deeent men of both parties will have influence
enough to crush this despicable plot, and pre
vent the hearty, united welcome of our citizens,
as men, neighbors, friends and brothers, from
being degraded into a low partisan brawl, which
will be both an insult to the soldiers whom it is
intended to honor, and a disgrace to the reputa
tion of our city.

MILITARY ORDERS VS. LAWS
Tile assumptions of Ocnerals in isno'ng Orders
setting aside the Constitution and Laws, and
telling citizens as independent as themselves
what they may do and Fay, and what not, in the
midst of a peaceable, law-abiding community, is
an arrogance as unnecessary as it is irritatingly
offensive, and presents a great obstacle to that
unity of feeling and notion among the Northern
people which is indispensable to the. welfare of
the Government.. Domestic, petty, official tyran
ny should cense—military officers be taughtto re
spect the civil authority, and to seek for honor
in the field, anti not in persecuting a mere party
opponent. Tho hope expressed by Abolition
journals that the General Administration will
control State elections through the direct exer
cise of its military powers, is revolutionary, and
its authors are as much enemies to the Govern
ment as any soldier in the Rebel army. To car
ry the country through the present struggle the
Administration has only to observe strietly the
duties that the Constitution has confided to it,
and leave the people to the discharge of their
obligations, as freemen and not as mere slaves
to arbitrary Orders. Could it only be brought
to do so, not another snow would fall before the
war would end in the restoration of peace and
the Union. There is no sympathy with Secession
in the States not in rebellion that need disturb
the public authoritien at all—if the Administra
tion and its agents will only perform their part
wisely, the people will promptly discharge theirs,
and restore the Constitution to its former supre
macy over the whole land, Let, schemes about
the next Presidential election be adjourned—
intrigues for supremacy among Cabinet officers
cease, and personal rivalries and detractions
among military officers be silenced; let Ihe great
work of motoring the Union be made the sole
and single aim of those in power, and all uncon
stitutional schemes of negro emancipation be
abandoned as impracticable—for experience has
proved them even worse than that—and how
soon would our now distracted country rise above
the clouds that obscure its prosperity and glory,
and rejoice in the sunshine of returning relied,
union and liberty. The great mass of the Amer
ican people are not traitors, and no military
usurpations, either with or without Executive
authority, can make them slaves.
DEATH OF "STONEWALL" Jecasex.—The noted
rebel General, Tbemne Jefferson Jackson, com
monly known as •Stonewall Jackson," died at
Richmond last Sunday, from the effects of the
amputation of his arm, and an attack of pneumo
nia which followed it. He was reported among
the wounded on the rebel side in the late terrible
battle at Chancellorville, and it is said that the
wound proceeded from an accidental F hot by one
of his own men. He was hurled on Tuesday.
The deceased officer was a native of Virginia,
and not quite 40 years of age. Ile graduated at
West Point in 1846, and immediately entered the
U. S. Army as a Second Lieutenant of Artillery.
Ile fought bravely at Contreras, Cherubusoo and
Chapultepec, in the Mexican war, for which he
was promoted successively a First Lieutenant,
Captain, and dually, at the close of that war, a
Major. In 1852, he resigned his commission in
the Army, and became a Professor of Mathema•
tics in the Military Institute at Lexington, Va.
Ile was twice married—his first wife having been
a daughter of the Rev. George Junkin, formerly
of thin State Demand, the daughter• of the
Rev. Dr. Morrison, a Presbyterian minister of
Charlotte, N. C. On the secession of Virginia,
he "went with his State," and was placed at the
head of a Regiment of Infantry, and subsequent
ly promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General
in the rebel Army. Ile was among the most
celebrated of all the rebel Generals, on account
of Ids daring raids with the light corps which he
commanded. In his demeanor he is represented
as having been extremely quiet and modest,
plain and unostentatious in his dress, silent and
thoughtful; in his habits temperate, in his con
duct strictly moral, and in religion 4 rigid ION:O
-ber of the Presbyterian Church. In character
and capabilities, he was confessedly a supetl7.;
man, worthy of a better cause than the one in
which he hag gaerifieed hie life.
DEATH OF THE ILEREL GEN. VAN DORN.—The
report that the rebel General, Dirt Van Dorn,
was shot and instantly killed, by Dr. Peters, of
Maury county., Tennessee, at the house of the
latter, which came from Nashville last Saturday,
is confirmed. It is staled that Van Dorn was
discovered in criminal intercourse with the wife
of Peters.
Earl Van Dorn was born in Mississippi about
forty years ago, graduated at. West, Point. in
1842, and was appointed a Second Lieutenant of
U. S. Infantry. He served with gallantry in Lhe
1 Mexican war, and k the expeditions against the
Indians in Texas in 1859. For his conduct in
Mexico, he was several times promoted, and held
a Major's commission in the U. S. Army at. the
breaking out of the rebellion. He was brave
and daring as a soldier, but reckless to a fault,
and dissolute in his private habits. The affair
which caused his death was a true index. to his
character.

that a tight has teen made up between the rival applicants
and their respective friends, no 'fierce that the President
hesitates 'twist doubt and f ar , to decide—the 4, pressure"
from both aides being great and nearly equal. Ent we
cannot believe this story—it mast earely he a " copper
head" invention. Can it be possible, that the harmonious
"unconditional supporters of the Administration" would
be so base and "disloyal" as to stir up a contention over
the paltry simile of office, and than embarrass the Cov..
esculent," "discourage enlistments," and knits the peo
ple to sedition, perhaps, at a time like this, when every
loyal citizen should throw politics to the winds, kick office
to the dogs, and give himself, and all he has, to his coun
try, as a free-will altering? No, we will not believe it !
We have been read too many lemsona of pore patriotism
from that quarter, to be told now that their practice of this
virtue is so bad. We would prefer to think that the Pres
ident has magnanimously concluded to exempt Berke al
together from the Conscription, in consideration of the
many gallant Volunteers she has furniabed for the support
of the Government, and of the fact that she is the enly
county In the Stale in which the last Draft was ectually
made and enforced— the only county that raised and sent
into the xervice a fall Regiment of Drafted Militia. Old
Berke, although she ik branded as " copperhead" and
"conspirator," has borne her fall share of the burdens of
the War, patiently and honestly, and if any district is en
titled to exemption from future drafts, she is the one: So
this may be the reason why we have no Provost Marshal—
but we don't by any means say positively that it Is !

THE "LOYAL LEAGUERS."
The " Loyal Leaguers," in the face of a strong public
opinion against their attempt to make the reception of on,
brave soldiers a political affair, had the decency (forced
though it may be) to back down, and leave the arrange•
merits where they properly belong, with the City Author
ities. We publish, by request, the proceedings of their
/aet meeting, la order that they may have the full benefit
of the explanation of their unseemly comical that they
' have felt it necessary to make. Their disclaimer of
"any partisan object" iu the organization of the "League,"
is decidedly "cool "—quite as mach so an the attempt to
monopolize the reception of our renaming Volunteers.
But, "the tree is known by its fruits." If an association
of men, whose speakers and member' are nightly in the
practice of denouncing all who will not give a craven
assent to the present Abolition war policy of the Adminis
tration, as ,"copperheads," "rebel sympathizers," and

UilitirSiLlg all their lawful duties to the Government, if an
association of this kind la not:partiews; in the very worst

SOP Tag N. Y. Sun thinks it quiie likely that
the American people may soon be obliged to re
solve themselves into a Committee of the Whole
on the conduct of the war, that will arrive at
very different conclusions from those advanced
by the Hon. Benjamin Wade, of Ohio.
gm For the Rendeng Gazette and Ihnymerni
Ma. Gars :—lt is seldom that I get a sight of
Mr. Knabb's Journal; but a short time since a
number was handed to me for perusal, in which
you were taken to task in consequence of your
position in regard to a speech delivered by Mr.
Vallandigham on the subject of .' Peace ;" and,
as usual, all those differiug with Mr. Knabb,
were stigmatized. as "allies of traitors," &c.
Does Mr, Knabb forget, that, during the election
campaign of either 1846 or 1847, (whilst the
war with Mexico was raging) in presence of
quite a number of his own party friends, he
openly declared, that the then pending election
amouted to a Presidential issue, a National one,
namely: PEACE AGAINST WAR! THE PEO
PLE AGAINST A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT,
&o. Of course this was to be understood by bia
listeners to mean that he (Mr. Knabb) was in
favor of and would stand by the country, the
Government, &c. (?) Some time afterwards he
said explicitly, that HE WOULD BE GLAD TO
HAVE PEACE ON ANY TERMS!
How the times have changed! When, during
the present Abolition misrule, a Democrat mere
ly whispers the endearing word " Peace," the
bloodhounds of the party cry outs "Hang the
Copperhead, the traitor!" The same foil spirit,
which ruled the Federal administration of old
John Adams in the year 1709, is at work at the
present time, and controls the Abolition admin
istration of old Abe Lincoln.
The above charges against Mr. Knabb I am
prepared to prove by at least one witness, (unless
he shruld-have the hardihood to deny them—
which I &MAO whose /cony Mr. Knabb will
not for a moment question, and who was on that oc.
cacion a so-called Whig awl is now a loyal Abo
tionist. Will Mr. Knabb dare to pronounce the
aforesaid accusations false ? l challenge him to
do so. • P. W.
Tun DISTURBANCES IN Isozana.—The telegraph
has reported, during the last two or three weeks,
a number of disturbances of the peace in the
State of Indiana, which it denominated "Copper
head Outrages," evidently with the intent to
create the idea that Democrats in that State were
in insurrection against the Government. But
we are glad to have high authority for prontlinte ,
ing these reports base fabrications. Gen Burn
side, when in Indisnopolis the other day, made
a statement to the effect that he saw no evidence
of any purpose in Indiana to oppose the Govern.
ment in the rightful exercise of its power—to
resist law. The outbreaks which have °conned
he regarded as arising from personal difficulties,
and not as growing out of hostility to the Gov
ernment.
