TO DEMOCRATIC EDITORS•
The Democratic editors of the State are respectfully in
vited to attend a inceting at Harrlabarg, on Wednesday,
the 17th of June. Business of importance Will be sub
ratted.
xi- A CommintwAnos In reply to an attack upon our
City Policemen, which appeared in last Saturday's ;au
nts; was met to us on Thursday night, at which time the
greater part of the matter in this week's paper wee already
in type. We are therefore obliged to postpone the publi
cation of the Communication until nut week.
l ir OUR CORRESPONDENT "X," in & commu
nication which will be found on the outside page,
produces some further and stronger proof of the
" Copperhead " treachery of the Journal and its
party leaders during the War with Mexico. It is
due to the writer to say that this communication
was put in type several weeks ago, but unavoid
ably laid over to give room to other matters that
seemed to require more immediate attention. As
the Journal is silent under all these proofs of its
former "disloyalty," we are to presume that it
stands convicted of the guilt it now so freely
charges against others.
ANOTHER LYING DISPATCH.
The folloWing is a literal copy of a dispatch
that appeared in the Philadelphia Evening Bulk ,
an of Saturday last, and in the Sunday Dispatch
of the following day :
COPPERHEAD RESISTANCE TO THE ENROLL-
➢LENT IN BERKS COUNTY
Essorne, June 8.--The enroller of Breeknock
township, Berks county, who is a member of the
Society of Friends, and named Joseph Dickerson,
was attacked at his residence on Thursday night.
The dwelling was much damaged. On Friday he
received notice that " his grave had been dug,"
and on that night three shots were fired at his
sister's house. This morning he came to Read
ing and resigned his commission. The attack is
believed to have originated with the Knights of
the Golden Circle.
This dispatch 15 "ono Mete of the same earl"
that has been telegraphed from Reading several
times during the last few months, with the evi•
dent design of calumniating the Democratic citi-
Tens of Berke county. Its falsity is proved by
the annexed vote from Provost Marshal Kerr
to the editor of the Adler, which was published
on Tuesday last, but up to this time the telegraph
that sent the lie abroad has not condescended to
retract it. We think it is about time for the
people who are thus defamed, to demand the au
thor of these dispatches. Who writes them ? and
who pays for them ? Messages purporting to
communicate news are not private, but public
property, and somebody should be held respon
sible for them. The telegraph line to Philadel
phia, as is well known, is under the control of
the Reading Railroad Company. Will the al
ms of this Company, after the fact has been
thus publicly brought to their notice, continue to
allow the wires to be used for the transmission
of base partizan falsehoods under the disguise of
news? Or have they, themselves, become so
blinded by political prejudice, that they cannot
nee the injustice of the thing ?
lIMADQUARTBRA OF PROVOST MARSHAL,
Sworn Pe., Heading Jane S. ISO.
CHAS. Keenan, Esq , Editor of Reading Adler.
Dame Sin :—I feel it my duty to contradict
the report circulated by evil-disposed persons,
as well as the telegraphic despatch which ap
peared in the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin of
Saturday, in relation to resistance having been
made to Mr. Joseph J. Dickinson, Enroller for
Breakneck township. Mr. Dickinson was at my
office on Saturday morning, made his report, but
did not offer hie resignation. The enrollment
for Breakneck is being completed, as well as all
the other townships of the county, and the en
tire enrollment will be finished in a few days.
Very Respectfully, Your Obedient Servant,

THE " LOYALISTS " IN COUNCIL
Disunion and Civil War in the Camp.
The self-elected and only "loyal" Union men
of Berks county, held a meeting in the Court
House last Saturday, to select delegates to the
Pittsburgh Convention. For a " Union meeting,"
it was the noisiest and most quarrelsome gather
itig that ever violated the decorum of a Court
room. When our reporter entered, he found
George J. Eckert, Esq., Chairman of the Repub
lican County Committee, in the Chair, and half
a deceit peremae en the (leer, bawling at the top
of their voices, and giving Mr. Eckert a realizing
sense of the difficulty of the job before him, which
was to call the meeting to order. "The situation"
soon became apparent—a President was to be
chosen, and Provost Marshal Kupp had nomi
nated Dr. Diller Luther, the Collector of Internal
Revenue, while, almost simultaneously, some one
else nominated Win. H. Strickland, Esq., Secre
tary of the Loyal Leaguers. The fight, there
fore, seemed to be between the comfortable and
contented ins and the hungry and envious outs;
and it, raged fiercely for a time—the confusion of
tongues at the tower of Babel could not have
been much worse. The war of words began to
grow "fast and furious," when our friend Levi
B. Smith, Esq, who very prudently occupied a
seat outside "the lines," got up and proposed
Win. M. Baird, Esq., as a compromise." But,
compromises are odious just now to our Simon
Pure " loyalists "—notwithstanding they still
claim to be disciples of the great Compromiser,
HENRY CLAY—and so, Mr. Baird'e name, instead
of bringing peace, only added another sword to
the combat. At length, however, hostilities were
momentarily suspended, owing to want, of—
breath, and Mr. Eckert seized his opportunity to
put the question on Dr. Luther's nomination.
The ayes had it by a decided majority ; but here
a parliamentary question arose. The Leaguers
wanted to know what had become of the amend
ment proposing Mr. Strickland, and Mr. Smith
asked how it was that his amendment to that
amendment was not voted on? Kupp was
surprised to see any opposition to Dr. Luther—
he had nominated him in good faith, aptl hyped
there were to be "no charges of disloyalty here."
Maj. Lauman, in a stentorian voice, demanded a
decision from the Chairman. "what are you
there for," said be, " but to organize this meet
ing ? Dr. Luther's elected, and you know it.
Decide it, like a man, or else leave the chair, and
we'll put somebody in it that will." Upon this,
Mr. Eckert ventured a Paddy's hint that it was
evidently the desire of some persons to break up
the meeting in a row, and eat down, declaring
his determination to do nothing until order was
restored. This brought about a truce, and then
a fresh start was outdo, by putting the question
on Mr. Smith's "compromise" proposition first. It
was declared carried, after a count of noses, which
stood 64 to 46, and Mr. BAIRD accordingly made
a brisk forward movement, and became master
of the position. He addressed a few conciliatory
words to the combatants below, which were effec
tive, for the time being, in bringing them to
terms, and the further organization of the meet
ing was perfected. And now the Bench present
ed a tableau vivant that was truly sublime, or but
one step from it. In the centre, sat Mr. Baird.
with the olive branch in his hand (figuratively
speaking)—at his right sat Major Kupp and Dr.
Luther, serene and smiling ; on his left sat Major
Sallade and Dr. Griesemer, with a halo of "loy
alty" beaming from their countenances; and be
low, at the Secretaries' desk, was the supplanted
champion of the Leaguers, Mr. Strickland, sup
ported by our friend, J. A ii ,Banks, Esq. It was
as striking a spectacle of "the lion and the lamb
&a," as was ever seen. All that was needed to
complete the picture, was the " little child, &c."
But, after all, that omission was supplied, un
consciously, by several of the prominent actors.
Dr. Kitchen, of Amity, now moved for the
appointment of a Committee to report regolutione '
and delegates. Mr. Eckert opposed this—he was
for electing the delegates by the meeting, and
therefore he asked for a division of the question.
Another sharp skirmish here ensued. Dr. Kit
chen led off by declaring himself in favor of
the old paths. He said he came of Quaker stock,
and did not like innovations_ If the delegates
were to be elected by the meeting, the city poli
ticians
would have things all their own way, and
out-vote the country ten to one. He was op
posed to this sort of business—he wanted peace,
but if there was to be a fight, he could do as
much fighting as any other Quaker. Mr. Smith
here rose to say something, but the Doctor
brought him to a halt, by expressing surprise
that "his friend, Levi Sntieh. who used to be
with the country, was now on the other side. Ho
has only been six months in the city," said the
Doctor, " but he knows all your tricks already."
Mr. Smith explained, and protested that the Doc•
for had misunderstood him. Mr. Strickland
boldly proclaimed that he was for innovation's—
old things had passed away, we were living in
the midst of revolution, and should not be afraid
to strike out in new paths. Another gentleman
cried out that he was opposed to letting " a pack
ed committee" choose the delegates. Let all
have a fair chance, and take a vote on them.
Here some one wanted to know whether they
were "going to let Copperheads vote too ?" At
this stage of the skirmishing, Maj. Lauman took
the floor, but. his voice was drowned amid loud
shouts of "question! question ! !" and all sorts
of noisy demotestrations of opposition- He stood
his ground, however, defiantly, and the "lan
guage in his eye" said as plain as words: " Go
ahead, boys!—let's see who'll get tired first?"
The Maj moon had possession of the field, and
after asking "what was the use in stirring up a
tempest in a teapot," said he had four names to
propose for Delegates which would satisfy all
sides, and settle the difficulty at once. He sent
up a slip of paper to the desk, and the names of
Messrs. Geo. J. Eckert, Henry Hartman, Dr. E.
E. Griesemer and Dr. Wm. Moore were read off.
The question was at once put, and they were
unanimously voted the Delegates. The Major,
with the air of a conqtieror, gave his late assail
ants one withering glance, and sat down again.
The motion for appointing a Vommittee on Roe
olutions was then carried. John S. Richards,
Esq., who had been a quiet spectator up to this
time, here rose, and said that as four gentlemen
had been eheeen Delegates to whom no objection
could be offered, and as it was the general feeling
of the party that they should go to Pittsburgh
uninstructed, it might be well for the meeting to
have an assurance to that effect. He therefore
moved that the Delegates go without instructions.
Major Lauman asked "who wants to instruct ?"
and added, "That's the silliest motion I ever
heard." Mr. Richards replied that. as Major
Leaman had done nearly all the talking so fair,
he thought it was but, courteous that. some others
should be allowed to say a word. He renewed
his motion in regard to the instructions. Major
Leaman retorted: "The gentleman may talk as
much as he pleases, but he has no business to
make such silly motions." Here there was some
applause, which seemed to disgust Mr. Richards,
who, after another vain effort to obtain a vote on
hie motion, retired from the field with the remark
that "as . Major Lauman seemed to have the
management. of the meeting in his own hands,
there was nothing more for him to say or do."
The Major whispered something about "never
having entered a loyal meeting to oppose its can
didates," and the cross-fire coned..
The Committee, under the lead of Dr. Kitchen,
went out, and Charlee Davie, Deg , was Called on
for a speech. Ile responded in a " cry havoc
and let loose the dogs of war " harangue, in
which the Adler and Gazette, and "Copperheads"
generally, were admonished in the kind and gen
tle Christian spirit that it is the blessed mission
of the Union Prayer Meetings to foster and dif
fuse.
The Resolutions, prefaced by a dozen " Whom
ages," proclaim that it is the purpose of " the
loyal citizens of Berke county assembled," to
sustain and defend every act of the Administra
tion that the Government and the Administra
tion are identical, and cannot be separated ; that
'!overt' way that can be devised to weaken and
destroy the insurrectionary powers, is legitimate
and proper;" that " we have entire confidence
in the honesty and energy of the Administra
tion ;" that " the South has no constitutional
rights," &c., &c., &c. The resolutions were
adopted by acclamation, . and the harmonious
gathering, of loyal llnioniste departed in peace.
—Our reporter has made rather a big thing
out of a small meeting, but we give place to his
account at the special request of several of the
Leaguers, who are apprehensive that, as neigh
bor Koabb belongs, ex officio, to the office-holders'
wing, he may be persuaded to depart from his
customary impartial course, and give only a one
aided history of the meeting.
The Delegates to Pittsburgh are understood to
be friendly to Governor CuwrrN.
Tue DEFENCE OF TER STATR.—Looking to the
defence of Pennsylvania. against rebel raids, the
War Department has created two new military
departments in this State, to be called. the De
partment of the Monongahela, comprising the
western part of the State, to be under the com
mand of Major• General Brooks, with hie head- .
quarters at Pittsburgh, and the Department of
the Susquehanna, comprising the eastern part of
the State, to be under the command of Major
General Couch, with his headquarters at Chem
bersburg. These officers have full powers to
organize army corps in their respective districts.
Major General Couch is expected to issue his
general orders to-day, and Governor Curtin will
issue a proclamation calling on the people to or.
ganize at once to defend the Stato. From all
this it would appear that the Government is
seriously apprehensive of another invasion of
Pennsylvania by Lee's army.
ANOTHER REQUISITION FOR VOLUNTEERS.-11
is stated that Governor Curtin received a requisi
tion from the War Department, at Washington,
for eighteen regiments of volunteers—fifteen of
Infantry and three of Cavalry—to be raised be
fore the conscription shall have been instituted,
and to be accredited to the state of Pennsylvania
at part of her quota under the draft, provided
the force is organized and mustered into the
service of the United States within thirty days.
It is eNceled that the time allowed is too short;
that although the number of men, or more,
could be raised by volunteering in this State, the
work could not be accomplished within the al
lotted time ; and the Governor is new in com
munication with the national authorities, with a
view to having the time extended.
Mar" THE SIXTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY, who
fought so gallantly in the battle of Tuesday last
at Beverly's Ford, on the Rappahannock, is the
same -Regiment that was formerly known as
Rush's Lancers, and one Company of which,
(Company 0, originally under command of Capt.
George E. Clymer) was recruited in Reading.
The Regiment is reported to have suffered se—
verely in the late fight, but in looking over the
list of killed and wounded so far published, we
can only find, beside the loss of officers mention
ed in the account of the battle that will be found
among our War News, the names of two mem
bers of Company G, to wit;
John Keener, bugler, G, 6th Pa. Cay., wounded
in leg.
Sergt. Keyser, G, Gth Pa. Cay., wounded in
foot.
SAD ItAILIIOAD ACCIDENT.—Last Priday after
noon, between 2 and 3 o'clock, Mr. F. M. Drexel,
the principal of the well-known Philadelphia
Banking House of Drexel & Co., was run over at
Nineteenth and Willow streets, by a train on the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. Mr. Drexel
was returning from a visit to Schuylkill county,
where he had accompanied a number of mana
gers of the Schuylkill Navigation Company. The
train upon which he was a passenger was near
ing Nineteenth street, and had almost ceased
motion, when Mr. Drexel attempted to jump off.
In so doing, he fell under the cars. The wheels
passed over his left foot, and, diagonally, over
his left thigh, which was horribly crushed. He
was conveyed to his residence, No. 1900 Ritten
house Square, where he died, shortly after ten
o'clock the same evening, from the effects of the
injuries he received. He was 71 years of age.

EDITORIAL CHARM—The Franklin Repooitory,
published at Chambersburg, has again passed
into the hands of CoL A. K. McClure, who was
formerly one of its editors and proprietors, The
Colonel has figured so prominently in politics of
late, that we were led to believe he had discarded
his n first love" forever. We congratulate him
on his change from the strife and turmoil of party
leadership to the quiet and retirement of the
editorial sanctum.
DEMOCRATIC Afeermas.—We continue the pub
lication, of the proceedings of the Meetings held
in the several townships for the purpose of or
ganizing Democratic Clubs. Large and spirited
