THJ2 WAIl EXCITEMENT IN STJN-
BTJRY. . v
ix nciviBts rnuors uktai.icd and
ftUARTERKD IN tUNBUR Y.
The war excitement In Ibis place baa ra
ther increased than diminished. Troops
arrive almost daily In the cars. On Wednes
day morning tbe 10 o'clock train brought in
about tit hundred men from tbe Northern
counties, namely, four companies from Potter,
Elk, McKean and Cameron, under the com
maod of Col. Thomas L. Kane, of Philadel
phia, brother of Dr. Kane, of Arctic celebrity.
These companies are made op of the robust
and hardy watermen ot the lomber regions of
tbe North and West Branches of the Sus
quehanna, aod look as if they would be a
match for double their number of the kid
gloved gentry, that constitute most of the
army Booth, Tbey aro called the "Kane
Riflfs," and number about 800 men, com
manded by Captains Winslsw, Blancbard,
Eldred and Overton, Tbe other three com.
panies are from Bradfprd conoty, a fine body
of men, many of whom are among the best
citizene of tbe county. These companies
were respectively commanded by Captains
Gore, Mason and Bradbury. Many of these
men bad breakfasted at 3, aod 0 o'clock in tbe
morning, and were truly gratefgl for tbe
refreshments furnished them by our citizens.
They were accompunied by Gen. Means,
Colonel Medill, Captain Spalding, and other
influential citizens of Bradford county. On
reaching Sunbory they were greatly dis
appointed on finding an order from tbe
Governor to the Superintendent of the Nor
them Central road, at ibis place, forbidding
tbe forwarding of any troops without a special
order. Col. Kane, in reply to bis despatch
to the Governor, received an order to bring
154 of bis men. The Colonel, bowevor, re
fused to separate bis men, and remained in
quarters with them nntil the next day. A
land slide having occurred near tbe Selins-
grove station, the regular train did not leave
until 2 P. M-, loaviog seven companies, or
nearly COO men, to be quartered and provided
for till next morning. Col. Kane and his
men occupied the Court House, the Lutheran
aod Methodist churches. The other compa.
nies occupied tbe lower rooms of the Public
School building, the Episcopal and Lutheran
school rooms.
The ladies in tho meantime converted the
Grand Jury room into a commissary depart
ment. Bread, beef, bam, eggs, butter, cakes,
coffee, and other edibles, were brought in
lurge quantities for tbo troops, many families
having parted with all tho bread in their
nouses. A certain number of men were
detached from each company to tbe commis
sary department, aud were furnished by the
ladies with supplies of provisions ready
cooked. Col. Medill stationed himself among
the ladies to preserve order among the troops
as tbey bore away their lutioos. Tho troops
before they took possession of their quarters
Were addressed by Geo Means, Cel. Kane
and others, who expressed their warmest
thanks for tho hospitality and kindness
extended towards tbem by the citizens of
Suobury, and appealed to the troops to
commit no acts derogatory to their character
as good citizens.
In the morning tbe Bradford county troops
were formed into a hollow pqnnre, end in front
of the Court Mouse, and addressed by Gen.
Means. Three cheers were given for tbo
citizens of Sunbury, and three more and a
tiger for tbe ladies. Tho companies then
entered the cars. Col. Kane's men then ap
peared in the' Square, and after giving three
cheers, fired a parting salute in a solid body.
New York Herald. The New York Her.
aid says its nIVice was not mobbed, aa reported.
A large crowd gathers daily in front of it for the
news. Like many other papers that wern never
given over to the intereata of Abolitionism, it
stood out for compromise, and in opposition to a
policy which would consolidate lliu two sections
upainst each, othrr to the last moment. When
the last shred of the L'nion had been sundered,
and there was no longer hope for a peaceable
solution, that paper, like all others of the kind
placed itself upon the aide ofitaown section. If
every paper in the country had labored as hard to
sustain the Union an the .New York Herald, there
would not now be a necessity for vindicating the
honor of our flag. The New York Herald haa a
larger circulation by thirty thousand than any
other paper in the world."
We copy the above article from the Demo
crat, of this ploce, for the purpose of expres
sing our entire dissent, not only from its
principles, but also as regard its statements
of facts. That the New York lhrald is an
enterprising newspaper, is true, but that it is
tbe most corrupt, profligate and mercenary
sheet published in this country, is also a fact
that scarcely any one of its numerous readers,
where it is best koown, will deny. Always
ready to enter the service of those who pay
best, and cater to the worst and lowest
passions of our nature, f necessary, it never
was even suspected of having any principles
or policy of its own, that were not selfish,
mean, or dishonorable. Always io tbe mar.
ket, it's only policy was to levy black mail or
Bell its columns to the highest bidder. For
year it has been catering to the worst pas
sions of the South, sympathising, if not pal
liating and excusing their treason, end en
gendering hatred between our people. Tbat
it is a secession journal now, iu disguise, is
hardly a question of doubt. It is difficult to
conceive how uuy one knowing its secession
sympathies, can defend its course.
The Democrat says, "Like many other
papers, never given over to the interests of
Abolitionism, it Btood out for compromise.'
Does not our neighbor remember its supper'
of Col. Fremont, the abolition candidate in
1850, and iU vile abuse of Mr. Buchanan, who
imploringly asked "if be bad no frieod, wbo
would cbasiUe the rascal Bennet in the
irowts of New Yoik, and cut off the vile
Scotchman's ears."
It wa not when "the last shred of the
Uuion had been sundered," but it was tbe
voice of popular indignation, manifested by
the presence of aoma thousands, threatening
to destroy bis incendiary establishment after
its issuo on Monday, tbat caused it sudden
conversion on Tuesday, and the eating up of
it opinions of tho previous day.
If tb Herald bad "labored to sustain tb
Union," it would not bava encouraged tbe
secessionists by making theui believe tbat
large portion of tb North sympathise wilb
tbem, aod would rather take arm in their
defence than support '.be government.
It waa these insiduou opinions, re ltsrated
by tba Breckinridge portion of tb pre in
tb North, that aidad aad ncouragisd

aaot by Mr. Saward to Governor Bick of
Maryland t IS t .
. DkPARrarfiiT f 6tatiik April 22, 1861.
Thomas H. nicaa',, Governor of Maryland.
8ir : I have bad the booor to rscaiv
your communicatldn of tbi morning, in bick
you hav informed me tbat you felt it tb b
your duty to advie the Praaident o tb
United State to order elsewhere lb troops
of Aonapolis, and also that no mora ba sent
through M aryland, and that yoo bava further
suggested that Lord l.yoos ba requested to
not as mediator between the contending per
tie in our country to preveot tbe affusion of
blood.
The President direct me to acknowledge
tbe receipt of that communication, tod It)
assure yon that be has weighed tb coaoaels
which it contains wilb the respect which ba
habitually cherishes for the Chief Magistrates
of the several States, and especially Tor your
self. He regret? ns deeply aa any Magis
trate or citizen of tbo county can, that de
monstrate "against the rafaty of the United
Stales, witb very extensive preparation for
the etluaion ol blood, have made it bis duty
to call out the force to which too allude.
The force now sought to be root through
Maryland is intended for nothing bnt tbe
defence of this Capital.
I be f resident, baa necessarily confided tb
cboiceofthe National highway which tbat
force ahnll take in coming to tbia city to
Lieut, lien. Sco'.t, commanding army of tbe
United Slates, tvho, like bis only predecessor,
is not less dit;iiiiibed for his humanity
than for bis loyally; patriotism, and distin
guished public service.
Tbo President instructs me to add tbat the
national highway thus selected by the Lieu
tenant General. bi been choseo by him upon
consultation with prominent magistrates aud
citizeus of Marylaud, as the one which, while
a route is absolutely necessary, ia further
removed from the populous citiea of the
State, and with tbo expectation tbat it
would, therefore be the least objectionable
one.
Tbe President cannot but remember tbat
there has been a time in the history of the
American Uniou when forci-s designed for the
defense of its capital was not unwelcome
anywhere in the Stile of Maryland, aod cer
tainly not al Annapolis then, aa now, the
capital ol that patriotic Slte, and then, also,
one of the capital of tho Uniou. If eighty
years could bava obliterated all other noble
sentiments of that age in Maryland, the
President would ba hopeful, nevertheless,
that there is one that would forever remain
there and everywhere. 'That sentiment is,
that no domestic 'intention whatever that
may arise among the parties of Ibis republic
ought, in any case, to be referred to any
foreign arbitrament, least of all to tbe arbi
trament of an European Monarchy.
I have tbe honor to be, with distinguished
consideration, ynnr Excellency's most obedi
ent servant, WILLIAM U. SEWARD.

citizens of Sunbury, and particularly to the
ladies, who will doubtless ever be beld io

The Message of Gov. Curtin- ha been
unavoidably crowded out. Tba Governor
hopes tho route through Baltimore will not
long remain closed. The time for a tempo
rising policy, he thinks, has passed. Twenty
three regiments have been mustered into
service, and more troops are already offered
for the second requisition than ara wanted.
He ask's for authority to borrow more money.
He recommends tbe organization and disci
plining of at least fifteen regiments of infantry
aod cnvulry, in addition to those called by
the President. He also recommends a stay
law to prevent the sacrifice of property.
Tbe Maryland Legislature be positively,
oy an overwueimmg vole, reiused to call

Baltimore, April 30. Tbo Uoion senti
ment, after being smothered for a week, has
made a complete and glorious conquest.
Three spontsneout Union meetings were
beld to night an different sections of tbe city.
1'hey were well attended. Straight-out
Union resolutions were adopted in favor of
sustaining the Ooveroment; expressing ap-
probation for the course pursued by General
Scott, and tbe determination .to maintain
tbe honor of the national fl.ig.
Uoloo badges are becommg quite promi

Baltimore, April 30. From Information
gathered from gentlemen whose position and
iufluHoce puts them in tbe way of knowing
the feeliog and views of a majority of tbe
legislators of Maryland, we feel warranted in
saying that that body will not even pass a
bill to call a State Convention, but will
contend themselves with making a calm and
dignified appeal to tbe country.
IJarrisbuko, April 30 The Chief Justice
of Vormont, now here, was in Richmond on
Friday last, and had a full opportunity of
judging tbe number of troops. He estimates
that there were then about 11.000. and that
10,000 were in motion south of tbat point for
the North.
A gentleman holding an official position in
Washington, arrived here to day, after one
woek'i stay in Virginia, communicates tbe
important fuct that the vote egaicst Seces
sion in the secret tession of tbe Virginia
Convention was fully fifty, and not sixteen
as reported. This information was derived
from a prominent mouiber of tbe Convention,
wbo dare not make tbe statement public,
and no Virginia paper would dare to publish
it.
Tatriotio Tkar At Willard' Hotel,
Washington, tbe other evening, a lady was
seated at tbe piano, singing, Ueneral Wool,
wearing his button, asked ber lo sing the
Star Spangled Banner. She did it witb admi

with the tears running down his cheeks, and

and ar as follow i Uoe uay we get good son

happen to have anything to cook it wnn
ourselves. Tb Dext day tbe aame thing,
witb coffee strong enough to bear two eggs.
tb on on tbe top of lb olber. Th above
ia not a very nattering description, out
soldier' bed is not a bed of roses. But the
living of lb officer aod some other is very
good, being all that I usually fouod on our
larmer tables.
By permission of tbe Captain we sometimes
get iolo Uarrisburg, but are required to be
back at 9 o clock or quarter tbe night out
side, aod in addition to tbi we bave to guard
eight hour the next day, so extreme is onr

would suppose that there waa a sufficient
number of soldiera in it now to wipe ont all
Southern traitors wilh ease, as they present
a most animated feeling to the looker on.
But after having been bere a Tew days, tba
scene becomea common, and would rather
depress than enliven the heart, were it not
for the daily exceedingly numerous visits of
the Harrisbnrg ladies, the sweet and smiling
faces of whom, although unknown, imbues the
heart with new life, and call forth the dawn
of a pleasant future life, enjoyed in tranquility
end peace, free from the noisy bustle of tbe
world's "busy mart." Yet it is well for us to
know that such a life, at so critical a time, is
not possible to be enjoyed, and the only way
to secure its enjoyment is, (dark as matters
now appear,) to keep the wheels of the go
vernment unobstructed, tbat tbeir advance
ment may not be impeded. But if tha
question as to what manner this oan be done
should arise, let tbe answer be by calm and
decided counsels- But if that fails, let us
enforce the right even at tha sacrifice of our
lives, and if we live through the struggle we
wil) enjoy our own reward. If not, we can
terminate our lives wilb the assurance of a
reward by our posterity.
I am bappy to say that I have a position
at the headquarters, and coosequelly live
very well. But thinking Ibis sufficient Tor
those who peruse your columns, to read with
out wearied patieoce, I shall close by inform

OBAPE S "WI NE.
rpHE OPORTO GRAPE IS IjKS I lEU
to revolutionize Wine Making in United
Bislss. Its thick juice of dark color' produces a
Win of hojy and character, Wa want a wine
te 'make glad tba heart of man,' and nut to make
his head ache. Tha Oporto is raady lo supply
thai want, as lha experience of ten years abund
antly proves. The Vines ar hnr.ly. and ripen
the Grapea early. It ripened its fruit lastscsaon,
on tbe prairias of La Salle Co.,'111., and in Onon
daga Co., N Y , al an elsvalion uf over UG0 f.-i
abov th Kris Canal. I have no doubt it will
ripen wherever Indian corn will. '-Oh! you am
interested in the Oporto." That's a fsct and
we intend to b interested until pure healthful
Oporto Wins sliall displace tlia vile manulaciurt.l
poisons called 'Wine. Everyman cm nuke Im
own Wins aa easy aa he make his Cider.an.l
almost as cheap. Uut let ua bear those who aro
not interested :
From Dr. Chas. T. Jacksoa, State Assaver of
Mass
Tha specimen of Oporto is not too sweet, hut
is just right, and is a good Wine, which will im
prove on age, if boiil.d. The high color of tha
Oporto Cusps is a valuable property, since tho
Wins haa a fins color, not common to American
Grape Wines.
(Letter front 8y Natter Clark, Eq 1
Desr Sir i In reply lo your inquiries in re
ference to th Oparto Orapt, I antwer lint I bava
cultivated it for thirty fiva years. It ia a vtrv
hardy Vine, so much so that one very severe
winter my fssbsll Vine wera killed down t
the roota, while lb wood of th Oporto, standing
in the asms garden, with tba aame exposure,
was not injured in tbe least. It is a good bra it r
and I have gathered tsu bushels of Grapes in a
season, f'Om lha Vines of one root upon a singlu
trellis. For seveial ysara we hav ma.'a Wina
from tha Oporto Grape, and Cud a ready sal at
one dollar per bottle, selling fifty bottles for sin
gle ordersi I have therefore great pleasure in
recommending Hie Oporto Crape to every parson
wbo wishes lo mak wiue for his own use, or
for sal. SYLVESTER CLARK.

This mav certify that I have cultivated (h
Oporto Oraii for several years, and find that Ilia
Vinea ara entirely free from the mildew and blight;
that they do not winter ki'l in tha least, end that
they ar good Carers. I have tutted the Wine
of sevsrsl different yeara and esteem il very
highly. MATHKW MAC1CIE.

that itgivea good satis'actton in my gueata. I
esteem th Oporto th best Wine Grape we have.
HENRY GRAHAM, Jr.
A gentleman withing lo purrha.a Vines, if the
Oporto mad a good Wine, referred th Agent to
W, C. Haahrook, Esq., a wall known gentieman
of tha legal profession, aa being; tha best judge of
Win in that region, when Mr. II. gave Inm the
following certificate!
S'swat-asa, N. Y., Nov. S7, 1660.
Dr. E. War Sylvester, Dear Sir; Your
agent gave me a taste of two varieties of OPOR
TO OK APE WINE, to-day, and I was surprised
to hear that lha Grape from which said Wine
was mad, grows briftily and hardily in Wayne
Co., N. Y. I think tbe Wina ia as good as lha
bast American Win lever lasted.

Th First Premium waa awarded at tha

by 8. D. Gavitt, Esq., late Clerk of Wayn coun
ty, who was t'hiirmsn of the Committee
The Porl Wine, eihibited by Dr. (Sylvester,
wa found entirely different from the Wina gene

boquel of good Port Wina. and none of lhal
