bilate the elaveholders, but a bitter struggle for
the existence of the nation. For all this the
Abolitionists are responsible. Their leaders
still walk in high places and fill their pockets
from the national Treasury, and their journals
are still supported by official patronage and
ILlovernment contracts; but the end of these
things is at band. Cowed by the infernal storm
they have raised, thew fanatics now cry ont for
help against the rebel invasion, and prep% that
the duty of the hour is to forget the past and
save the country. This delusive call has been
heard once too often. The duty of the hour is
to remember and to punish. First, let the rebels
be defeated and driven back, and then, without
hesitation or delay, let those Northern Abolition
traitors who are responsible for the rebellion
and for the success it. has achieved be held to a
strict and final account.—N, Y./tenth,.

Tits KILLED AND WOUNDED IN TED 151ST
PENNA.- Rootmusv.—lion. S. E. Ancona, who
returned last evening from the battle-field at
Gettysburg, has furnished us a partial list of the
killed and wounded in the four Berks County
Companies that were attached to the 151ot Penna.
Volunteers. Re are unable to publish it in our
paper this morning, but shall issue it in an Ex
tra this afternoon for gratuitous distribution to
the friends of the heroic soldiers of that Regi
ment, many of whom sealed their devotion to
the cause of their country with their lives. The
men of the 151atifought with a bravery that
has won the highest praise of their commanding
General, and suffered very severely. Their
Regiment went into the engagement of July Ist
with 416 men and 19 officers, and came out of it
the same evening with only 101 men and 7 offi
cers unhurt.! !
VICTORY! .
The defeat of Lee's army at Gettysburg and
the fall of Vicksburg, two great and almost sim
ultaneous triumphs• for the Union cause, have
given the rebellion a stunning blow, and encour
aged a hope in the breasts of all inre patriots
that the end may be nigh. The fact lila these
brilliant. successes occurred on the eve of the
anniversary of our National Independence, gives
them an extraordinary significance, and impels
even the mind not given to superstition, to re
gard them as good omens.
The hour of victory is the time for magnan
imity. An offer of terms of peace and recon
ciliation by our Governnient eifild now be made
with honor, and would be an act of humanity to
be approved of all Christia,p men. The New-
York Herald, in an able editorial on this subject,
says t
" The position for good and evil which Presi
dent Lincoln commands at this momentous junc
ture in our history, is a position of extraordin
ary power and of surpassing grandeur and re
sponsibility. Does he still contemplate the
restoration of the Union under our existing
federal constitution,. or has it become his fixed
purpose to pursue the war for the more distant
object of a reconstruction based upon the extin
guishment of Southern slavery ? Assuming that
he still aims at nothing beyond the submission
of the rebellious States to the Union, and know
ing, as we do, that Mr. Lincoln is a humane
man, and not a lover of bloodshed, we think
that the time has arrived when he may advan•
tageously consider and act upon the proposition
of an amnesty to the people generally of the
rebellious States, on the condition of the return
of those States, within a specified time, to their
allegiance to the government of the Union."
In another article, to the same purport, but in
a different vein, the Herald urges the tender of
peace propositions on the part of the Govern
ment. It says, with much force:
"Now is the time for peace making. It.is
legitimate to talk about peace now that ware
victorious. The merchants of this city ought to
bold a public meeting at once, and send a com
mittee to President Lincoln to urge him to offer
an amnesty to all the rebels, except Jeff. Davis
and the other leaders, if theyowill lay down their
arms and return to the Union. We are victori
ous, and can afford to be magnanimous. The
rebels are badly beaten, and will probably ac
cept our terms. It is silly to talk about a war
of extermination or annihilation. We have had
fighting enough to convince the rebels that the
Uhion mast and shall be preserved. Let us now
invite them to re-enter it and bury the hatchet.
Who will make the first move for this meeting?"
Tux 2qp RxEmprio24.—The question as to the
payment of commutation in money in lieu of ser
vice under the Conscription Act has been settled
by a circular issued by Provost Marshal General
James B. Fry. The second section says " The
Commissioner of Internal Revenue in each Con
gressional District has been authorized by the
Secretary of War, and directed by the Secretary
of the Treasury, to receive from drafted persons
who desire to pay it for the purpose of exemp
tion, the money above specified ($300). On re
ceipt of this sum, the Collector of Internal
Revenue shall give the person paying it dupli
cate receipts; one copy of these receipts shall be
delivered to the Board of Enrollment on or be
fore the day the drafted person is to report for
duty, and when so delivered to the Board of
Enrollment the drafted person shall be furnished
with a certificate of exemption, stating that the
person is discharged from further liability under
that draft by reason of having paid the sum of
three hundred dollars.
DIA= OF ARCHIOBIIOP Rinotica.—The Rt.
Rer. Francis Patrick Kenrick, D. D., Catholic
Arolibishop of Baltimore, died suddenly on Wed
needay morning at his residence in that city, in
the sixtysiath year of his age. He was born in
Dublin, and educated for the Church at Rome,
and came to the United States in 1821. He was
Bishop of Philadelphia from 1841 to 1851, when
he was appointed Archbishop of Baltimore. Re
was the author of many theological and contro
versial works, and a prelate of eminent learning,
pharity, piety end devotion.
GEORGE W. WOODWARD.
We copy, on the first rag; of this week's liet
z.-ar, a very able biographical sketch of the
Democratic candidate for Governor, which ori
ginally appeared in the Easton Argus. We hope
none of our readers will neglect to real it.; for
it presents, in their true light., the distinguishing
Characteristics of Judge WOoriiralln, and the
qualities of mind and education that to pre
eminently fit him for the Gubernatorial office in
the present crisis of State and National affairs.
It ie gratifying to know that his nomination is
received, throughout the Stale, with a degree of
sat isfact inn and joy that amount to enthus iaera
not of the wild, superficial sort, that is carried
away by momentary excitement, but that deep,
heartfelt emotion, which springs from a sense of
implicit trust and confidence in the personal in
tegrity and political firmness of the man who
has been selected, as well as from pride in his
commanding abilities. The Democrats never
accepted a candidate with greater unanimity ;
and even the most violent of the opposite party
are forced to admit that, in point of character
and fitness, Judge WOODWARD comes up to the
highest. standard of what a Governor of Penn
sylvania should he. The mass of the people
feel that with the Executive power in the hands
of such a roan, the honor of our great old Com
monwealth would be maintained, the reserved
rights of her citizens protected with ,jealous care,
and the proper, constitutional relations between
the State and • Federal Governments, clearly de
fined and preserved. They feel, too, that such a
man, clothed with the authority of the high office
to which they propose to raise him, could and
would exert an important influence in the great
work of bringing the present deplorable and
self destructive sectional war to a speedy and
successful end, AIDI restoring pence, harmony
and Union to the States upon a permanent basis.
If there ever was an occasion when a political
nominating Convention chose the right man for
the right place, at the right time, it was when
the Harrisburg Convention, after fairly consider
ing the merits of the several distinguished and
deserving gentlemen whose names were brought
before it, decided upon Cifilflitafi IY. WoowArth
as the Democratic candidate for Governor. To
doubt his election, by a triumphant majority,
would be to question the intelligence and patri
, otism of a people who, though sometimes misled
and deceived, are, in the main, keenly alive to
the weighty interests that, at this lime, more,
perhaps, than at any other, hang upon their de
cision at the ballot-box.
STATE DEFENCE.
An article on this subject, from the New-York
Times, a Republican journal, is copied on the
outside of our paper, and deserves attention.
After all the ridicule and abuse that have been
heaped upon Pennsylvania by the presses of
other States, for her apparent indifference and
apathy in view of the rebel invasion, and the
inability of her people to defend themselves
against the advance of the enemy, it is gratify
ing to see that at least one newspaper outside of
our own borders has the intelligence to compre
hend our true position in this emergency, and
the magnanimity to do us simple justice. It
should not be considered surprising that Penn
sylvania was unprepared for the invasion, when
we remember bow the repeated assurances that
came from Washington, of "no danger" lulled
us into it false security. Neither should any one
wonder that we were unable to meet and repel
it, on the instant, when it is well known that all
the military forces of our Slate have, for over
two years past, been in the service of the Fed
eral Government. The nun well says that, if
Pennsylvania or any other State is expected to
defend itself, let its troops be sent home, and it
-will doubtless be equal to the task. As for Penn
sylvania, we know that she.hetc the power and
the resources to protect herself, whenever self
protection becomes obligatory upon her. But,
in that event, Washington will clearly have no
rigttt to monopolize that power and those re
sources for its own safety. Our gallant Penn
sylvania Reserves, that were originally organized
solely fur State difence, but afterwards gener
ously given op to the Federal Government, would
alone have minced to protect us from the two
invasions to which we have been exposed; and
it is the basest Sort of ingratitude now for any
dependent uponthe• authorities at Washington,
to taunt us with incompetency and cowardice, or
for those authorities themselves to leave us at
the mercy of the enemy, and answer our just
appeals for protection with a sneer and the in
sulting advice: take care of yourselves !" It
was the business of the Army of the Potomac,
in which there is no small number of Pennsyl
vania troops, to have protected us against Leg's
hostile occupation of our soil. Why that duty
was so sadly neglected, let the Witt Department
explain—if it can. Not even the victory of Den.
Meade, upon Pennsylvania soil, brilliant as it
is, and greatly to be rejoiced over, will atone for
that neglect. And until it can be satisfactorily
explained, let us hear no more from that, or any
other quarter, of Pennsylvania apathy and in
competency in time of danger.
Special Rebel Mission to the Presl-
4lent.
The following statement in regard to the New-
York Herald's story of an attempted special
mission from Jeff. Davis to President Lincoln,
through Alexander H. Stephens, the Vice Presi—
dent of the Rebel Confederacy, is said to be de—
rived from an official source :
On Sunday, the sth inst., the Secretary of War
received a despatch from Col. Ludlow, the Uni
ted States Commissioner for the exchange of
prisoners of war, attached to the staff of Maj.
Gen. Dix, to the effect that Alexander 11. Ste
phens, Military Commissioner for the Confeder
ate Stales, had presented himself in a Confeder
ate steamer to Col. Ludlow, as the bearer of a
communication in writing from Jefferson Davis,
the Commander of the land and naval forces of
the Confederate States of America, to Abraham
Lincoln, Commander in Chief of the land and
naval forces of the United States of America;
and that he desired to proceed in the same Con
federate steamer to Washington, to deliver the
said communication, attended only by Robert
°old, as secretary, for the purpose of conferring
upon the subjects of the aforesaid communica
tion, and by the officers and crew of the said
steamer.
The Secretary of the Navy on the same day
received a similar despatch from Acting Rear
Admiral Lee, in command of the United States
squadron in [tampion Roads.
On Monday the Secretary of War anti the Sec
retary of the Navy respectively answered to Col.
Ludlow and Rear Admiral Lee, that t , the re—
quest of Alexander IL Stollens is inalmissible.
The customary agents and channels are adequale
for all needful military communicalion and con
ference between tho United States forces and the
insurgents."

Stir RIMEL PRISON ERA.—Four cars filled With
rebel prisoners, taker. at Gettysburg last week., passed
through this city on Tuesday morning. They were mis
erably clad lu coarse, faded and tattered "butternut"
looked like a hardy set of wen, who had be
come inured to the expo.. and dangore of a ealeier'e life.
Many of them wore Irish, some Germans, and a numbes
native Southerners: They were civil and communicative
when spoken to civilly, and appeared to take lightly the
fortune of war that had placed them In our bands. The
cars in svl,kl, they Were convoyed to Philatiolphin remain
ed at the lower depot for about half an hoer, and during
that time a large crowd gathered about the Wain to take a

ATTEMPTAD Eneal , ll FROM PR - MON.—On
Tuesday afternoon, Wm, Ayer, (colored) and Nathaniel
Kirby, two convicts confined in our fall, slipped out of the
cells, whilst the keeper, Dr. Tyson, woe showing some
visitors around the prison, end made their way to the tow
er, where they were soon discovered, but they closed the
trap door and refused to open it, or to come down. White
upon the tower their conduct was very defiant to the keep
ers and abusive of the throngs of persons that were passing
to and from the encampment on the Fair Grounds. The
Inspectors residing in the city were notified, and a posse of
the police summoned to arrest them. On their persisting
in retuning to open the door by which they gained the
tower, crowbars were need, and it was forced off its hinges.
The police, led by Under-Keeper Cleaver, rushed out upon
the roof, the policemen being armed with loaded muskets
with fixed bayonets; end the convictsomeing escape on m.

f fifer SERIOUS anthill' AFFRAY.—Last Satur—

Seventh street, between a party of soldiers belonging to
Capt. Itheasey's Company, from Scranton, and some young
men of this city, lit whirls brickbats, knives and pistols
were freely need. Both patties were badly beaten, and
two of the soldiers wore wounded by pistol shots. For a
time, a general riot and destrection of property was threa
tened, but by the efforts of the police aided by an armed
petrel of IC men from Camp, the disturbance was put
down, and the participants were arrested. The offending
soldiers were pieced la charge of the military authorities,
and the town combatants were banded over to the custody
of the Mayor. At a hearing of the latter on Monday morn
ing, two of them, named Schwenk and Bell, were discharg

Jobe 'buts, who, it is alleged, fired the pistol filote la the

" The mon in general throughout the camp are load in
their praise of the good people of Reading for the kind and

WiNr ENSfBTING AN ENROLLING OFFIVIR.—
Samuel Reinhart, of District township, was arrested on the
Ist Instant by Mr. IL L. Miller, one of the Provost Mar.
otlicers, charged with !navies , resisted enrolling offi
cer Bechtel, of said township. The facts of the case are as
follows: The officer Mopped. at Reinhiwt's house for the
purpose of enrolling him, and when he opened the door
for the purpose of gaining admittance, Reinhart's wife
threw a bucket of water into his face, At Ole the dog be•
longing to the promisee also attacked Bechtel, who was
compelled to shoot him In self-defence. Bechtel then left,
and Reinhart, who had been abeeat, returning home, on
learning the particulars from his wife, followed Bechtel
with a laded gun, when the latter got frightened and ran,
Reiuhart following until be was out of the township, In
formation wad then given at the Marelial's vale°, and the
arrest was made as stated. Mr. Wm. K. 211.1 conveyed the
prisoner to Philadelphia, before U. S. Commissioner Heat
lett, who, after hearing the case, put Reinhart nuder
$ . 2,000 bail to appear before the Dietriet Court in August.
It does not appear that Reinhart resisted' the enrolling
officer with premeditatiou—th e probability being that the
loos of his dog, and the representation of his wife, drove
him to commit the foolish act. IL W. Smith, Esq., appeared
as counsel for the prisoner.—Times.

HEROISM OP TILE 151 a PENNSYLVANIA
A Captain of the 151st Pennsylvania Volun—
teers, in a private letter, gives the following ac
count of the behavior of the volunteers of his
command in the terrible fight of the first day at
Gettysburg :
" We were fighting all day yesterday, and of
fifty-two men I took into the tight, 1 have but
thirteen loft. At. least thirty or thirty five are
killed or wounded. Of the thirty-nine missing,
I know of but four that came off the field unhurt.
I know that twenty five are hurt more or less,
and I presume most of the missing to be wound
ed. I am untouched—a fact I can hardly believe
myself. Every man stood right up to the work,
and fought like tigers—not a single exception.
Our poor boys fell around me like apples in a
storm. God bless them! They wore and are
heroes, every one. Only think, putting it at but
thirty killed and wounded out of fifty-two l We
were not taken prisoners—our loss is all in killed
and wounded. Several were wounded and con
tinued to fight tilt hit the second time. It seems
that our division of less than 5000 was pitted
against the whole rebel force. Our corps, the
First, with two brigades of the Eleventh Corps,
Were all that took part in the battle. Our brig-
ado, the first of the third division, suffered most
of any, I think, two-thirds of the whole number
being killed, wounded or missing.
" But I care most for my own boys. Most of
them said not a word, but to utter some roads,
motion when hit. I hardly beard a groan. They
fell all about me. . . Our regiment bad 440
men—we now have lose than 150. Col, Mc
,Farland le wounded."
