"A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted or
compromised. It knows no baseness; it cowers to
no danger; it oppresses no weakness. Destructive
only of despotism, it is the sole conservator of lib
erty, labor and property. It is the sentiment of
Freedom, of equal rights, of equal obligations--the
law of nature pervading the law of the land."

DR. WALLACE, THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS AND
PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
It seems the Republican candidate for
Congress in this district and President Lin
coin do not agree in many questions
brought before the present Congress, in
which the negro is involved, and in no
question more prominently than certain
features of the Confiscation Bill.
The Constitution of the United States
says: "No attainder of treason shall work;
corruption of blood nor forfeiture, except
during the lifetime of the person attainted."
The President regarded that provision of
the Confiscation bill laid' undertook to
forfeit all property, absolutely, of the "per
son atikinted" as in clear conflict with this'd
provierti of the Constitution, and in this
vow he was sustained not only by the ablest )
Constitutional lawyers of his own party,
as Judge THOMAS of Massachusetts, Sena
tor BROWNING of Illinois, and Senator
COWAN of Pennsylvania, but of all the I
Democratic members in both Houses.—)
Now although we have never regarded
President Lincoln as a profound States
man,
yet we think even his political oppo
nents consider him to be an able lawyer )
and a competent jmlge of a Constitutional
question. But the profound aspirant for )
Representative for this Congressional Dis- )
trict not only differs in opinion with the
ablest men of his own party, but }resumes
even to treat with contempt the opin-1
ion of the President elected by his party.
Dr. Wallace may be a very competent
judge upon a medical question, but cer- ;
tainly upon a legal and Constitutional
question, we may be excused for adop.ing
the opinion of the President, rather than'
his. It will be recollected that Dr. Wal
lace not only voted against the President',
upon the Confiscation bill, but that he un
dertook in an elaborate speech, circulated
all over this Congressional District to
prove that this very feature of the bill,
which constitutes one of the most formida
ble objections mentioned in the President's
veto of it, was not in conflict with the Con
stitution ! We certainly cannot regard this
as an evidence of either the intelligence
or modesty of our would be Representa
tive.
We confess we were somewhat surprised
at this and many other of Dr. Wallace's j
votes during the past session of Congress,
in which lie evinced the fullest concurrence
with the Abolitionists. If we mistake not I
Dr. Wallace, previously had the reputation
of conservatism. As an old Line Whig he
had the active hostility of the Radical Ab
olitionists of his county, and his majority I
was much reduced in consequence of that!
hostility. Can it be that the Doctor, by
his radical votes in the present Congress
lilts been angling for the vote of that char
acter in his own county, which was previ
ollily withheld from him, and the want of
which he knew- might be seriously felt in
the approaching campaign ? But if so, is
such course consistent with the high integ
rity which should characterize one who
seeks our votes' for the responsible office
to which he is aspiring ?
We have a single question which we de
sire to ask of the Conservative Republicans
of this county and this Congressional dis
trict. 'Will you vote for Dr. Wallace who
votes against President Lincoln on this
subject, or for Gen. Lazear, who, upon this, !
as all other legitimate war questions, votes
with President Lincoln!

GREENE OTUNTY AND HER VOLUN
TEERS FOR THE WAR.
We have heard of statements made by
citzens of Greene county, which cast an
imputation upon her patriotism. What
ever may have been the motives of these
statements, we feel proud to dispel them
by a statement of the facts developed by
the recent enrollment. At the date of the
enrollment, Greene county, had ten hundrea
'and twenty lour Volunteers in the service or
on their way to the war. The number re
qui red of Greene county, by the recent
Proclamation of the Governor, is fourteen
hundred and thirty six. This would leave
but little over four hundred yet to raise,
but for the unfortunate fact, that three hun
dred and twenty-four of our Volunteers have
gone into Virginia Regiments; and the
State, under the present decision of the
Governor, will get no credit for them. We
hope this decision may yet be reversed, in
justice to the patriotic citizens of several
of our Townships bounding on the Virgin
ia line, but we confess we do not at pres
ent, see how this is to be done.
NEW COMPANY.
The new Company raising by Jams P.
Cosgray, B. F. Campbell, Win. C. Lindsey
and Wm. Hays, met at their head quar
ters in this place on Thursday evening last,
and elected the following officers:
W. C. LINDSEY, Esq., Captain.
JAS. P. COSGRAY, First. Lieut.
B. F. CAMPBELL, Second Lieut.
The Company is fast filling up with fine
stalwart men. The company will leave
this place on Friday morning next, for
Pittsburg to join their Regiment.
NEW COMPANIES.
SAMUEL. MONTGOMERY, Esq., JOSEPH PHE
LAN, Esq., JAMES B. LINDSEY and COULTER
'WELLS are engaged in raising a new Com
pany. This will afford another opportu
nity for enlisting in a Volunteer Company.
All the bounty will be paid. For partic

the Court House.
We understood a Cavalry Company is
being raised at Carmichael& We com
mend this company to horseman desirous
of entering the service.
HEWITT is also recruiting. He will

THE DRAFT IN GREENE COUNTY.
Gov. CURTIN has appointed GEO. L.
WYLEI, Esq., a leading lawyer at our Bar,
Commissioner of the Draft for our county,
and Dr. Wm. D. ROGERS, of Jefferson,
Surgeon, to examine persons claiming ex
emption on the score of physical disabili
ty. Both are estimable gentleman, and
will discharge the duties of their appoint
ments, we doubt not, with entire accepta
bility.
FLAG PRESENTATION.
An i.lteresting ceremony took place at
Camp Howe, yesterday morning, in the
presence of a large number of spectaters.
It was the presentation of a fine stand of
colors to the Lawrence Guards, of Monon
gahela City, by Hon. G. V. Lawrence,
who made an eloquent and thrilling ad
dress. Capt. T. T. Gregg, of the Guards,
replied in a few short but neat remarks.—
The presentation was made in the presence
of the Greene County Rifles, and Mr. Par
man, of Waynesburg, followed Mr. Gregg
lin an able and patriotic speech. These
two companies will be associated in the
same regiment, and we are confident that
they will do credit to Western Pennsylvania.

MEETING OF CONFEREES.
The meeting of Congressional Conferees
in Pittsburgh last Tuesday afternoon was
a very pleasant occasion. Delegates from
each of the counties of the District were
present, and all seemed cheerful in view of
the apparent certainty of the election of
our candidate, Ron. Jassr, LAZEAR, to Con
gress this fall. The utmost unanimity
pervades the Democratic ranks all over
the District, and the prospect of success is
quite encouraging. Let every man do his
duty—his duty to the country, to the Con
! stitution and the Union, and we will roll
up such a majority for Jesse Lazear this
fall as will make abolitionism hide its head
in shame.—Beaver Star.
HURRAH FOR BROWNING.
We clip the following from the Pitts
burgh Gazette of Thursday last. It must
be consoling for such journals to be neces
sitated to publish such matter. Say we,
hurrah for Browning! This is merely a
forerunner of what will take place all over
the country, before the lapse of many
months :—Examiner.
"On Saturday, the 16th inst., Senator 0.
H. Browning made a speech at the Court
House in Quincy, Illinois, denouncing the
`abolitionists" in unmeasured terms, and
declaring that Senators Sumner, Wilson,
and others, were "disloyal traitors, crazy
fanatics, bent on the destruction of the
Government." He was ready to go over
to the Democrats, or to act with patriotic
men to whatever party theimight•beiolig,
who were for the Union and the Constitu
tion." .
bill Dr. J. M. Lassie of Fairmont, was
brought to Wheeling on Tuesday bat and
confined, having refused to take the oath,
will he sent to C.n?eha3 e.
THE ARREST OF INGEkSOLL--PLAIN
TALK FROM A REPUBLICAN PAPER.
The New York World, a Republican
newspaper is outraged by the systematic
attempt to stifle free speech and a free
press. It actually published the "treason
able" speech of Mr. Ingersoll, and makes
these stinging observations :
We publish elsewhere the speech deliv
ered by Charles J. Ingersoll, at the Phila
delphia Democratic meeting on Saturday
last, for which he has been arrested by or
der of the Government. It no doubt con
tains a world of incendiary and disloyal
matter, or else he would not have been
arrested ; but a great many honest people
will "ctidgel their brains" without finding
it out. He expresses a doubt as to the
wisdom and honesty of the administration,
it is true; but then Horace Greeley and
Wendell Phillips have done the same thing
in a fifty-fold more offensive manner—yet
the offender receives a respectful letter
signed "A. Lincoln" and the other is sent
to jail.
It is an extraordinary spectacle which
we have witnessed for the last year—a free
people, the freest on earth, tenacious of
their rights, imperious for the largest lib
erty, quietly submitting to the suspension
of their rights and liberties, to a restricted
freedom of the press, the suspension of the
writ of habeas corpus, imprisonments with
out trial, liberations without reparation.
The President of the United States and
his advisers will terribly mistake the tem
per of the American people, the secret of
their submission to, of their demand for,
these stretches of executive power, if they
presume or act upon the presumption that
they will tolerate them for any other end
whatever than the suppression of the rebel
lion.
A PREDIOTION VERIFIED.
We are informed, that at the late Har-i
vest Home Celebration in the lower end of
this county, one of the speakers, in sub-1
stance declared, that "Had we been told
twenty months ago that the present civil
war was coming upon our country, we
would have regarded it as a false prophecy ;
w e would have not believed a word of it;
because we did not. then dream of its truth."
Never was a more lamentable truth.ut
tered , and the speaker, a gentleman of
age and intelligence, knew whereof he
testified ; for it will be remembered, that
during the campaign of 1860, every Dem
ocratic Press and Speaker in the land, did
predict the coming of this very civil war,
with all its horrors, in case a sectional
candidate was elected to the Presidency.—
And was this prediction believed? Far
from it. On the contrary, we were assured
that "we could not kick the Southern States
out of the f c)a,"--thzt "the South
ern people would not fight"—that "it would
be but a mere breakfast spell to whip them
in again, if they did attempt to secede ;"
and the whole Democratic party were de
nounced as alarmists and ridiculed as
"Union Savers," because they were dis
posed to give heed to the warnings of
Washington and Jackson, whose Farewell
Addresses rise before us to-days with almost
the sacred wisdom of inspired prophecy.—
I Truly were all Democrats then denounced
as false prophets, and just as truly have
their worst fears and predictions been ver
ified.
DEMOORATIO LOYALTY.
The Chicago Times handsomely compli
ments the loyalty of the Democracy, as 1
shown by their efforts to crush the rebel
lion. - Never, perhaps, in civil govern
ment, it remarks, has so grand a specta-,
cle been presented as tl at of the Demo-1
cratic party of this country coming up
unanimously to the support of an admin
istration which came into power against
its wishes and upon issues out of which
have grown the troubles with respect to
which this support is given. The Presi
dent commanded this support at the mo-1
ment he made the first call to arms, andl
it has never since been withdrawn from
him for a day. It has been unconditional
as to the means of the great end, only 1
that they should be constitutional, and'
that the great end should be held continu-1
ally in view. It has been as cordial and
disinterested in the press and through all
civil channels as lofty and self-sacrificing
and devoted in the field. The Democratic
party has furnished nearly two-thirds of
all the soldiers who have gone to the war,
and when the draft shall come it will fur-,
nish from its decimated ranks its fair pro
portion cheerfully. These soldiers have
gone under the convictions of duty im
pressed upon them by the Democratic
press, where all their lives they have
been accustomed to look for guidance and
counsel. The President owes mode to the
Democratic press for the popular unanim
ity which has sustained him, as well in
times of disaster or triumph, than to any
other influence. When this popular unan
imity has been impaired, it has been by his
own partly press, and his own party major
ity in Congress.
The Democratic party and the Demo
cratic press claim no credit for this.—
The fact, however, may as well be recall
ed to mind occasionally. Had the Presi
dent's own party and party press been as
faithful and true since this war began, the
the country would have been in a very
much better condition than it now is.
FLOYD IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.-A pri
vate dispatch received in Cincinnati states
that the 34th (Zouave) and the 37th Ohio

be under command of Floyd. The rebels
had been throwing shells among our troops

LATE AND IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE
RELATING TO THE WAR:I
Official information has just been
received from Harrisburg, fixing the
quota of troops to be raised in Greene
County under the various calls, at
143 6 ! !
She will get credit for all the
troops serving in Pennsylvania Reg
ments, but not for those serving it)
Regiments raised in other States!
The following table, taken. from
the official enrollment, shows the
number of persons to be drafted
from this county. The calculation
is made after giving credit for those
who have volunteered up to the
date, and the figures below show the
number that will be drafted from
each Township, unless raised by VOL
UNTEERING between this day and
the 15th inst.:—
Aleppo
Cumberland
cam ichaels bor
Centre
Dunkard
Franklin
Gi ]more
Greene
Jackson
Jefferson
Marion
Morris
Monongahela....
Morgan
Perry
Rich h ill
Springhill
Wayne
Washington
Whiteley
Total
The above calculation may be relied
upon as correct ; if any errors exist there
in, it is in placing the estimate too low.—
The figures are not too high in any in
stance.
The Draft will certainly be made, and
our citizens should be up and doing.
The Aggregate Quota of Troops to be Rais- 1
ed by Each County.
The following table shows the
number of troops to be furnished by j
the several counties. Tho quotas I
embrace all the troops called for
since the commencement of the war,
excepting the three months meu.-1
The number assigned to each county
will be apportioned among the sev
eral townships, boroughs and pre
cincts by the Commissioner, in ac-;
cordance with the enrollment ; and'
he will credit each township, precin- i
et, St.c., with the men already fur
nished, as shown by the enrollment,
and make a draft for the number
necessary to fill the quota, unless vol
unteers are furnished on or before 1
the day fixed fbr the draft. Credit
cannot be allowed for teamsters, me-1
chanics in the army, men enlisted in
the regular army or marines, or for
volunteers enlisted in regiments of i
other States. Several counties have
already raised their full quotas and
there will be no draft in such count
ies. The troops to be raised for the
old regiments are not embraced in
this table. There will probably be a
special draft for those :

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
Harrisburg, September 4th 1862.
Pennsylvania, ss.—ln the name and by
the authority of the commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, I Andrew Curtin, Governor

fore,' I do earnestly recommend the im
mediate formation through the Common
wealth of volunteer companies and regi

of 1858. Arms will be distributed to the
organizations so to be formed, agreeably
to the provisions of said Act.
It is further recommended, that in or
der to give due opportunity for drill and
instruction, all places of business will be
Closed daily, at 3 o'clock, P. M., so that
persons employed therein may after that
hour be at liberty to attend to their mili
tary duties.
The cheerful alacrity with which the
men of Pennsylvania have hitherto given
themselves to the service of the country,
having pressed heavily on her military
resources, I am reluctant to ask her peo
ple to assume further burdens, but as
their safety requires that they should do
so, it is in their behalf that I put forth
the recommendations herein contained,
and urge a prompt compliance with them.

We neglected, last week, to mentioi
that we attended the Festival of the La
dies' Soldier's Aid Society at College Hall
on Thursday evening, Aug. 28th. The lit
erary exercises were of a very interesting
character, and were received with many
marks of approbation. The supply
"sweetmeats" was bountiful, but was soon
exhausted by the scores of willing buyers.
The Association must have realized quite
a handsome sum on the occasion, as it de
served to.
The following letter was received by the
society which explains itself:—

On Sunday last, Gen. Kelley telegraphed
for aid, as he supposed he would be at
tacked by some 1,500 cavalry and some
3,000 or 4,000 artillery and infantry. A
portion of these, however, took the road
to Buckhannon and thus diminished the
the force of the enemy. On Monday he
had a skirmish with a portion of the ene
my somewhere in the neighborhood of
Phillippi. We learn from a very reliable
source, that he killed a captain and a cor
poral, and drove the enemy back. The

IMPORTANT MILITARY ÜBANGI-A
General T. NV. Sherman, known : ort
Royal Sherman, left yesterday in the Ma
rion, to supersede General Phelps at New
Orleans. General Mitchel, whose meteor
like career in Alabama a short time ago
attracted the attention. of the world, has
arrived in this city on his way to super
sede General Hunter at Hilton Head.—
Thus two men of abolition propensities,
both of them more famous for special anti
slavery proclamations than for any act for
the suppression of the rebellion, will re
sign their places to men whose fidelity to
the Union as it-was, and the constitution
as it is, is undoubted.

A Raid on Phillippi Anticipated.
A correspondent writing from Phillippi
on the 31st.says :—A report reached this

cavalry had made a raid on Buckhannon,
taking possession of the place and killing
nearly all of the little force of soldiers sta
stioned there. Capt. Reese, of the Sixth

NARROW EVAPE,
On Friday last, a little child of Mr.
JEssE HusNEt.'s, of this place, being sent
to wash its hands,. went out of the house,
and finding no water convenient, went, it
is supposed, to the Cistern for the purpose
of procuring some, and, losing its bal
ance, fell in, where it was soon found by
its mother, with life almost extinct. A
vigorous application of appropriate reme
dies soon restored the little one to con
sciousness. Let this be a warning to pa
rents.

visited last winter were several taught by ladies
Those that are qualified can teach as successfully as
gentle e n . Let them be paid for their labor. Not

Do. I's—s2o,oo. According to the instructions of the

good qualifications; 2, very good; 1, extremely good—
