THE TRUE POLICY. A private letter to the Editors from an officer of the 85th Regiment contains the following paragraph:— "McClellan makes short work of the negro business. If any officer is asked anythin* about negroes, the stereotyped answer is, 'We have nothing to do with the negroes.'" That is the true policy concerning the slaves in this struggle,-=let them take care of themselves. If Congress, instead of babbling incessantly and legislating in every imaginable way and shape about the darkey, had given him a "tremendous letting alone," the war would have been successfully terminated ere this. This is not a war for negro emancipation, but for the vindication of the authority of the Government and the preservation of the Union, and as soon as the people of the South are satisfied it has been undertaken and prosecuted for these and for no other purposes, they will lay down their arms. They have been badly deceived by their leaders, and much has been done by the. Abolitionists to excite their fears and foster their hostility to the Government. RETURNED VOLUNTEERS. ISAAC GRAY, S. A. CHANEY and CHARLES CHAPMA.N, all members of Company F. (Capt. John Morris,) 85th Regiment, reached their homes in this county last week. Messrs. Chaney and Gray were both wounded in the battle of Fair Oaks, and are on furlough, we believe, until they re cover. Little Greene has just cause to be proud of the courage. and endurance of her soldiers. The sons she has sent to the de fence of the national standard have nobly and gallantly confronted the foe thus far, and many have laid down their lives on the altar of the Union. The country will long cherish the memory of the dead of this war, and the brave boys who survive it will have no reason to account the Re public ungrateful. SLAVERY IN THE TERRITORIES. "The President has approved the bill securing freedom in all the present, as .Frell as in future territories of the United States." The measure above referred to, and which passed both Houses of Congress by - a strict party vote, embodies and carries out the "one-idea" of the Republican party, resistance to the extension of slave ry in the Territories. No matter what the will and the pleasure of the people direct ly interested in the matter may be, this act denies them the right and privilege of framing their own laws and adopting their own institutions. In its practical operations, under Republican rule, no State can or will hereafter be admitted to the Union, unless its Constitution prohib its slavery. Aside from the objections to such an en actment which might be urged on the score of policy, at this time, the doctrine it contains and enforces is at war with the genius of a democratic government. It is a bold, practical denial of the capacity of the people to govern themselves. It not only questions their intelligence, but ignores their sovereignty, and may (char itably, enough,) be denounced as an in suit arid outrage. Thatit will ultimately be repealed, when the Union is restored and the right is done, we have no more doubt than we have of the eventual and the sig nal success of the national cause. Its adoption, at this time, only shows how feverishly anxious our Republican friends are to foist all their policy on the country before the people give them "leave to quiv, _ Stars and Stripes now wave over the remains of every dead President of the United States ex. cept those of James Monroe, whose remains.were taken some years since from 'law York toliOntond. "TEE UM AS IT MOT TO BE, NOT AS IT WAS." The New York Tribune declares itself "for the Union as it ought to be," and not for the Union as it was, if it can be helped. This is the talk we hear on all sides from the Abolition zealots who are so flippant in their denunciations of Democratic loyal ty. They are opposed to any Union which does not make the irrepressible nigger the "chief corner-stone." Negro freedom and negro equality are the Alpha and Omega of their labors and aims. While Demo crats every where, .and to a man, are for the Union as it was, and the Constitution aa it is, these half-crazed fanatics are press ing their schemes for the overthrow of the rights of the States and the defeat of the great and patriotic objects of the struggle, the maintenance of the supremacy of the Con stitution and the preservation of the Union of our fathers. Time will show how much these traitors and conspirators will accom plish by their plottings. The Government must frown on their disloyalty, and the people rebuke it at the ballot-box, or the national cause will suffer serious, if not fatal embarrassment. W. T. H. PAULEY, ESQ. • COL RODDY, of the Uniontown Genius makes the following comments on the ar ticle we recently published from the Cham bersburg Valley Spirit, and which he trans fers to his columns : • "We take the above from the Valley Spirit, published at Chambersburg in Franklin County, and rejoice to find the claims of Mr. Pauley and of Greene coun ty appreciated in that section of our State. That Greene County is entitled to one of the candidates on the State ticket now, having never asked or enjoyed that honor before cannot we think be disputed; and that Mr. Pauley being the choice of his own County as he is, and well and favor ably known throughout the adjoining coun ties, could add strength to the ticket and life and vigor to the campaign is very clear. Let us have a ticket that will arouse our people and the western counties will give a good account of themselves in the fall." A HINT. Major Jack Downing once said to Gen. Jackson : "Gin'ral, I have always ob served that those persons who have a great deal to say about being ready to shed their last drop of blood, are amazin' purtic'lar about the first drop!' There are some of the same class of people left in this country. They are wondrous valiant in telling what should be done to the rebels, favor the raising of armies by millions, plead earnestly for others to enter the ser vice of the country, but never offer their own precious bodies ! You can generally tell them by their noisy habits, and blustering method of attacking better people than themselves. Poor fellows! t hey don't know what a laughing stock they are for others. NO DEMOCRAT A DISUNIONIST. No man can be a Democrat and at the same time be a disunionist. Devotion to country, to the Constitution and obedience to the laws are cardinal doctrines of the Dem ocratic party. This is the foundation up on which the Democratic party was first erected by the founders of the Republic, and to this it has faithihlly adhered at all times and under all circumstances. Amid the wildest din of fanaticism the Democracy have raised their warning voice, appealed to the reason and judgment of the people, and pointed out approaching danger. BEAVER 001JNTY. The Democracy of Beaver County, at their late Convention, which was largely attended and was a most harmonious and enthusiastic gathering, unanimmYsly adopt ed the following Resolution : Resolved, That the unswerving de votion of the gallant Democracy of Greene county entitles them to the highest consideration of the Democ racy of the State at large, and we cheerfully second their nomination of W. T. H. Pauley, Esq., for a po sition on the State ticket at the com ing October election, and instruct our delegates . to the 4th of July Conven tion to vote for him, and to use all honorable means to insure his suc cess. AN EPITAPH. Mr. Cox, of Ohio, concluded his speech of June 6th with the following:— • Weary in watching its mad designs of revolution—and its crazy crotchets of black freedom—and for the self-preserva tion of my native ,State and the North with the black emigration with which it is threatened, I shall go to my home and ask the ballot to speak its denunciation.— A. few months and that expression will be had. On it depends the fate of the Repub lic. My belief is, that the people will write the epitaph of this Congress, nearly as Gladstone wrote that of the Coalition ministry during •the,Cr(mean war: Here lies the ashes:of the XXXVII Congress ! It found the United States in a war of gigantic proportions, involving its very existence. It was content to wield the sceptre of Power and accept the emoluments of office, and use them to overthrow the political and social system of the country, which it was sworn to protect It saw the fate of thirty-four white common wealths in peril, but it babbled of the =GILD ! It saw patriotic generals and soldiers in the field, under the old flag ; It slandered theone, and in the absence of the other it destroyed his means of labor. It talked. of Liberty to the black and piled burdens of taxation on the white people for schemes utopian The people launched at it the thunderbolt of their wrath ; and its members sought to avoid punishment by creeping into dishonored politica; graves! Requieseat le-Richmond, a letter to the Charleston Mercury says, is "one vast hospital !" Provision are also at famine prices. The distress is ter rible and universal, and csuutot be endured much longer without its en ding in 'pestilence - . Its only salva tion is dig speedy victory of the Fed eral forces. EXPECTED STARVATION AT THE 8017111. During the last six months the people of the rebel States have subsisted quite well on the abundant crops of last season. But the supplies thus obtained are nearly exhausted, and the war has employed so much of the labor of the country, that the amount of grain planted has been less than usual. Besides the wheat and corn crop in Alabama, Mississippi, South.- ern Tennessee, Georgia and other States are comparative failures. In some parts, the wheat fields will scarcely yield as much seed as was planted. Flour is sell ing at $l6 per barrel, and corn at $2 per bushel. At such prices, the masses of the peo ple, already impoverished by war, are on the verge of starvation. The Union pris oners of General Prentiss' division, lately quartered at Montgomery, were released because the rebels could not feed them, the inhabitants of Montgomery themselves being short of provisions. Before the sea son is over, there will be hundreds of thousands starving in the rebel States, un less peace, is restored, so that supplies can be furnished from the abundance of the Northwest. The people of the free States must be prepared to give freely to the deluded and impoverished people of the rebel States. "UNION SAVERS." Previous to the Presidential election, of 1860, says a cotemporary, the opponents of the Democratic party applied to its members many epithets of derision ; but among the catalogue of sarcastic appella tions fixed upon us by Republicans and Abolitionists, none were uttered with such unction of scorn as those of "Union-Sa vers" and "Union-Shriekers." The va liant orators of Republicanism were in Ithe habit of pointing their wit and adorn ing their denunciations of Democrats in general by calling them Union savers and shriekers. The people are now looking back to the admonitions of Democrats then spoken and written against the suc cess of a sectional party based upon an tagonism to the vital interests and insti tutions of a large number of the States of the Union, and thinking that the Demo crats were not only in earnest in their en deavors to save the Union, but that they took a very proper and prophetic view of the whole subject of Abolition sectional- I= NORTHERN TREASON. An anti-slavery organization has been formed in the City of New York, at the head of which is the editor-in-chief of the Evening Post, WILLAY CULLEN BRYANT, the poet, which announces as one of its fun damental principles the dogma that "no State now in the rebellion shall be again re cognized as a member of the Union except on condition of emancipation." What treason is this! The association is called the "Emancipation League," and addresses have been delivered before it at the Cooper Institute by Senator JIM LANE, of Kansas, and OWEN LOVEJOY, the fanatical M. C. from Illinois. It is intended, if possible; to engraft this treasonable principle upon the platform of the Republican party, and convert the war at once into an anti-sla very crusade. It is as rank treason as se cession itself, and is based upon the ab surd doctrine of the Southern demogagues, that a State can take itself out of the Union, and that those States in which the rebel lion now prevails are really out. The Newburyport Herald, a Republican journ al, thus disposes of the fallacy upon which the "Emancipation League" has estab lished its creed : "No State has gone out of the Union, and we are not attempting to bring one in to the Union. We only aim to suppress insurrection in certain States of the Union, that the laws may be executed and the loy al people hold control. If the States could take themselves out of the Union, this would be a foreign war, a war of invasion, and to be justified on no good grounds; but not being out, we can make no conditions for their return. There is the Constitution —they must obey that, and we can impose upon them nothing different or beyond that. Mr. Bryant's League accepts the ground on which Jeff. Davis started, and it is no more to be tolerated than should be a nest of secessionists." WELL SAID. The Providence (R. I.) Post thus speaks of the assaults of Disunion Abolitionists upon the Union-loving and loyal Democ racy "There are five hundred Abolitionists in our State to-day—we think we do not over rate the number—who would not give a day's work, or lift a hand, or move a fin ger, or speak a word, to restore the Union! Their position is no secret. They are plain, out-spoken, square to the mark men. "But these very men can accuse Demo crats, who have never uttered a disloyal word—who have been known as Union men and pleading for the Union through their whole lives, while men of the Repub lican party have been proposing, in reso lutions, and speeches, to "let the Union slide"—they can accuse these Democrats of disloyalty with all the coolnesss of a "Polar Refrigerator." MOTION IN OBEGOR. A San Francisco dispatch. states that the Oregon State election took place on the 2d. But two tickets were run, namely, a fusion of the Douglas Democracy and Re publican, called the Union Ticket, and Breckinridge Ticket, called the Regular Democrat. The entire Union ticket was elected . by nearly three thousand majority, making the relative vote almost two to one for the Union. Addison C. Gibbs, Gover ernor elect, is a Douglas Democrat, who emigrated to Oregon from Central New York; John Mcßride, member of Congress elect, is a Republican, formerly of Mis souri. sir To plisse everybody—mind your own business. TEE CIOUTITIMOII AS IT MOH AB IT WAS. We find the following article afloat in the great newspaper sea. It stirs one as if it were a blast of a trumpet : Amid the waves of the ocean, some vast Gibaltar rears its rocky front, against which the waves may beat, around which the lightning and tempest may play, still leaving its adamantine strength unshaken, its .collossal form calmly and grandly looming above the wilderness of waters, a gladdening sight to the storm-tossed mar iner—so now, the Constitution, the Gibral ter of our liberties, against which the waves of sectional strife may moan in vain, and around which the fierce storms of civil war may harmlessly wage, begins to rear itself over and above the sea of tu mult and bloody strife, gladdening the bruised hearts and the dying spirits of American citizens with its magnificent per fection and the grand promise of its au thoritative protection. Let us never defile this sacred deposi tory of human rights. The men who made it were furnished at their time and for that purpose by the hand of God himself—great souls, planted on earth to bloom for a time and again be garnered in heaven—century plants in the garden of humanity. This Constitution once destroyed, once lost, and the age to-day can 'find no factors who shall form and establish one to supply its place. During the same century God will not furnish the same nation with two genera tions of Washingtons, Franklins, Jeffer sons, and other compeers. • Let us fight bravely, then, both in the South and North, against the cohorts of secession and the hordes of abolition—for the Union as it was, and the Constitution as it is. Fortune, life, happiness and hon or cannot be periled in a better cause.— Let the banners of Democracy wave first in the fight. Let the "long roll" be sound ed in that gallant old party, and victory for our cause is secured. MORE TESTIMONY. Capt. John J. Robison, of Tuscarawas county, now a captain of the 18th Ohio regiment, near Corinth, thus writes to the Holmes County Fanner, about the damag ing effects of the Abolition emancipation projects that are being passed by the pres ent Congress: "The legislation of Congress on the sla very question has greatly strengthened the rebel cause in the south-west. The rebel leaders now say, 'Did we not tell you what the Abolitionists would do if they succeed ed?' The Abolitionists have thrown all the doubtful and wavering on the side of the rebels, except a very few, who count the chances of success and act accordingly. It is hard for soldiers to crush Secession when Congress is trampling upon the Con stitution, and enforcing the dogmas which aided in bringing this devastating war up on the country. It will take the last life's drop of many poor soldiers to repair the damage that the present Congress has done to the Union cause." The above expresses the sentiments of the whole army, and every other discreet, sensible man in the Union. Jeff. Davis seems to have two Congresses in his inter est at the present time, and the one at Washington is doing him more good than the one at Richmond.—Ex. DOUGLAS MONUMENT. The Douglas Monument .Association have effected an arrangement with the publishers of the imperial size steel en graving, 21 by 17 inches, (the best ever published) of Judge Douglas, and sold by the latter at one dollar per copy. The As sociation will furnish to each subscriber in the eam of two dollars or more both the diploma of life-membership and the por trait; or dispose of copies of the portrait at the publishers' price of one dollar—all profits arising from the sale by the Asso ciation accruing to the monument fund.— See advertisement. THE CASE STATED. At the commencement of this war Dem ocrats were willing to forego all contro versy about their principles, during its con tinuance, and to labor heartily with all who were working to maintain the su premacy of the Constitution and the per petuity of the Union. They had a right to expect the same patriotic course from Republicans and Abolitionists. In this they have been disappointed. The Aboli tion rulers of the Republican organization have insisted upon forcing their dogmas upon the country as the basis upon which the war shall be prosecuted. Democrats and conservative men have been forced in to party attitude to beat bask abolition ism. They saw the insincerity of the as sumed Union sentiments of Abolitionists, and the hollowness of their "no party" professions, and that the country stood in just as much danger from Abolitionists as from Secessionists. They were forced to take up their party organization to defeat abolitionism, while they did the fighting to put down armed rebellion.—Patriot and • Union. THE WOOL OBOE OF OHIO. According to . the Assessor's returns of the State of Ohio, it is believed that there are now in that State about 4,000,000 head of sheep. Allowing the average rate of wool per head to be three pounds and a half, this would be 14,000,000 pounds of wool. This, we take it, is a large stock, and in quality equal to that produced in any other State of the Uuion.— Supposing that the average price this year will be forty cents a pound, this product of Ohio will amount to $5,- 000,000. DEAD.—In a recent list of deaths at For tress Monroe, we notice the name of Robin son Elder, Esq., of Springfield, Fayette county, in this-State, a member of Col. Howell's 85th Pennsylvania Volunteers, Mr. Elder was a native offiorneriet coun ty, and a brother of Dr. William Elder, the popular author and lecturer. He was a printer by trade, and worked in va rious parts of the State. Ile had resided in Fayette county for severalyears, where he leaves a wife and several children. ' LBlllll FROM WE ARMY. Bar The following letter wan received from J. LLNDSRY Inonnen by H. H. LlND szr, Esq., of Jefferson : Cam. 12 MILES FROM RICHMOND, Friday, June 17, 1862. One year ago we entered Camp Wilkins; to-day we are in hearing of the rebel can non at Richmond. On Sunday last, we received orders to prepare for joining the army at Richmond, and at nine o'clock that night our Brigade took up the line of march for a point down the Rappahan nock, where transports were in readiness for us. About noon on Monday our Bri gade (the Ist, 2d, sth and Bth, with six companies of Buck Tails, the other four being with Banks,) got on board t rare ports and were soon steaming dovriarthe ia • Rappahannock. The River was very narrow, but as we went farther on it began to widen, until, finally, we were in a body of water large as the Mississippi, in many places. From where we embarked to the Chesapeake Bay it is 150 miles, and our trip was a most pleasant one. The banks of the riv er were lined with the colored' population, making the wildest demonstrations of de light at our coming. Arriving in the Bay, we steamed down it for thirty miles, to the mouth of York River, up which we went 35 miles, to the mouth of the Pamunkey —passing Yorktown, Gloucester Point, &c. The York River is a pretty stream, but the country on either side is dreary looking. We passed up the Pamunkey 40, miles—to White House—where we arri ved about 6 o'clock on Wednesday. There we left the transports and bivouacked for the night. The Pamunkey is a narrow river but must be deep, as a fleet of 200 or 300 vessels, men-of-war, &c., were lying' near where we disembarked. At White House we saw quite a number of the sick and wounded from the late fights of Williamsburg and Richmond.— At 8 o'clock yesterday morning we took up the line of march and came 10 miles down the Railroad toward Richmond.— the day was intensely hot and the march pretty severe on us. At SP. M., we halt ed, near the Chickahominy, 12 miles from the city, but only 6 or 8 miles from the advance lines of our army. The country from White House to here is the most forlorn, wretched looking, of any we have seen in all Virginia. It is one eternal swamp, with scarcely a house visible. Since arriving here we have been visited by several old friends from the 85th. Casey's Division is said to be badly cut up, and the 85th seem to have seen enough. At Williamsburg they are said to have done nobly, but their late reverse has considerably disheartened them. They and their Division have been moved back from the adrance and it is thought our Division is to replace it. Charley Weltner and Bill McCcr mick were here last night, but, being teamsters, were not in the fight, and of course could not tell us about it. Nieh. Hagar has just arrived, and is relating his adventures to our boys who are eager listeners. Col. How ell is said to have behaved with coolness and gallantry, but, as they were powerfully outnumbered, had, of necessity, to retreat. At present•, their Regiment is greatly reduced on account of the wounded and sick. Lieut. Phillips and all our Jefferson boys escaped unhurt. Our Regiment is in good health and fine spirits, and I have no fear but that its members will do their duty. All morning cannon have been roaring, and our Brigade is under orders to be in readiness to move at a moments notice. I supposed that before this we would be moving nearer the city, but we are yet in camp near the Chiekahotniny. I have just had a talk with Nich. Hagar. Col. Howell, he says, be haved as bravely as any man could. The 85th were surprised—the pickets being so near that, before the Regi ment knew what was going on, the rebels were upon them. Nich. was' writinga letter when he was startled by a shell passing over him. Of course there was "hurrying to and fro," and they went into the fight with only about 300 men. Only a few were killed and not many wounded in the Regiment. Our old friend, Estep,is supposed to be a pris oner. Casey's Division lost 7 cannon and nearly all their baggage. The victory is ours by great odds, and, from the fact that it was our weakest point attacked by their strongest, is very consoling to those who are yet to be tried in the final engagement. I see, by the papers, that Lieut. Col. Kane, of the Buck Tails, has been made a prisoner. He, with with four companies of Bucktails, joined Banks, leaving six companies, under Major Stone, with our Bri- gade. The cannonading is still going on heavily and rapidly. Our boys are taking it all rather indifferently— some playing cards, some joking over the heavy roar of artillery, &c., and talking about making prepara tions for attending the "Ball" which is soon to come off. They talk of McClellan being the one who will call the figures, while Capt. Stoy is to conduct the musical part of the affair. ‘. Hood, Estle, Pratt, Smith, Aleck, Sol, Neddy, Jack Bell, &e., are all ' well. We sent you a group which I hope reached you safely. Captain Bailey is in fine health, and is still commanding the "Rangers," his com mission as Major not yet having arrived. Kent is now in the company and will do his duty when taken into' action. The weather is most intensely hot, and we do not expect to have any very long marches soon, on account of the obstructions in the way. What day or what hour the battle is to be fought is not known to us. Skir mishes and artillery firing is quite frequent, but the big - fight is yet to come. To what point of the army our -Division is to go I know not; whetll er to the right, let, or ceiotre. Some think we are to replace Caw, MO as yet we have received no amigo ment to any point. For the present, I 'must close.— Doubtless, in a few days, we will be called upon to measure our steel with a powerful foe. Remember me to all my old friends, &c., Yours truly, J. L. INGHRAM. ,'The Chickahotniny was the stream which Captain John Smith was exploring when he was captured by the warriors of Powhattan. It is believed he was captur ed somewhere near the scene of the late battle. It will be remembered that Smith, as now, noted for marshes. Smith its banks were, in the days of John was mired in a swamp, when the savages pounced upon him. THE GLORIOUS FOURTH ! HO! YE PATRIOTS !

The subject of this notice had been, at times, afflicted for several months past.— His friends, however, did not apprehend serious results from the disease. On the day previous to his death, he was, as usual, engaged with his team in hauling. Towards the close of the day he was com pelled to give up his work. He suffered on till Sunday night, about 11 o'clock, when be bid farewell to all earthly toil, and expired. Mr. H. was not connected with any branch of the Church. In a conversation with his companion since, she informs me she has a hope of his happiness. At his request, he was buried with the honors of Masonry on the 27th. Tha writer preached a funeral sermon on the occasion, to one of the largest congrega - gations I ever saw on an occasion of the kind. He has left a widow, young in years, to mourn his sudden death.
