The toct-Foco newspapers of this State;

a great blon oyer the fact that the.mniforlnj

nia soldiers (were .ndt as good tts tnlght
have been. \By a process of reasoning wholly
their own, they draw the conclusion that (here
mast be peculation somewhere, and nothing is
easier for these oroakefi thSh to sdddle the
charge of stich peculation upon Gov. Curtin; |
When thel war for the tyiion first began, Gov. 1
Curtin thought with all other patriotij Citizens!
THE TlO Gr 4 CO U.HXYA HIT A TOE.
that party lines should, not bo. drawnlin ranging
tha military appointments of the State. This
magnanimity on hia part resulted in the appoint
ment, of-R. C, Hale, Esq.,, of .Philadelphia,. a
prominent Democratic politician ns Quarter Mas
ter General. It is needless to inform intelligent
rotifers that this officer lias entire-control of the
army supplies, makes and ratifies all contracts
for clothing, provisions, &eh and no frauds of
the nature charged against Gov. Curtin could
be committed without- this man’s knowledge.
No man believes! the Governor to he a fool,dnd (
it is not likely that he would lay himself o]sen
to such charges with the certainty of exposure
staring him in the face. ;We say then, thajt if
there have been frauds, neglect , or inefficiency
in idle Pennsylvania Army Bureau, the fault is
with Democratic Politician- Hale.
We do not say—have not said—that thpse
men or either of them, ore hlameable or blame
less. Inexperienced men cannot construct a
complete, perfect and harmonious military sys
tem in ten days.'and it is not surprising that
in the hurry and 1 bustle of the hegining, much
was done needlessly, and much which requited
immediate action, was left undone. Instead of
carping and howling and whining, and making
unjust charges, .the Democratic papers and pol
iticians, ought to have been thankful to the
Governor, and smoothed'lnefficient Democratic
Quarter-Master Hale’s pith as much as possi
ble! It is somewhat surprising, and strikesjall
intelligent people as somewhat ridiculous, that"
while John B. Floyd was engaged last winter
in stealing $BOO,OOO worth of Indian Bondsjfor
himself and his friends, not to speak of rifled

on the subject by way of censure.

tho Indignation and scorn which this atrocious

to superiority and supremacy.' To be under

A STATION BASED ON THEFT,
BV HORACE GREELET,
- The fundamental idea of the Southern Con
federacy,-as • declared by ks able’and ncijle
Vice-President,"is the necessary, inherent, nr?
eradicable.inferiority of Black,Men to Whiter
hence the essential fitness, universality, and
perpetuity of-Negro Slavery,, Even r were, the
premise admitted, the' condlusio’tf would mot
follow. Women are generally supposed infe
rior in intellectual as well as physical strength
to men ; yet this fact is not presumed to estabr
lish the rightfulness of chaltelizing women.-
history, of [lndia, and China, abundantly
proves the inferiority of their native races to
Europeans '; yet who'argues thence the right of
the latter to make the former their slaves? If
a rich and powerful citizen of any truly civi
lized oorntnunity were to make return to a ha~
beas corpus sued out in behalf of one he re
strained of bis liberty—“ Iso hold him because
I am strong -and wise, while he is weak and
simple," it would he difficult to protect the
traverser from i the indignation of - his neigh
bors.
it were idle to imagine that a single
wrong so fundamental and so flagrant as Sla
very could be cherished by a people without
■involving them in others still more revolting to
the nnbribed,-undrupged consciences of tha
Christian world. Tho man . who dooms'the
playmates of his boyhood to work for him with
out wages throughout Jong lives, and to sur
render their children os they reach maturity
to tho auction-block and tho coffle, joust have
his moral sense blunted to some of the most ob
vious applications of that far-reaohing Divine
mandate, “Thou sbalt not steal.’’ Hence
Whitney was deliberately swindled out of his
cotton-gin by communities which it had sud
denly raised from squalid poverty to boundless
wealth, but who could not realize that “The
laborer is worthy of his hire” so long as their
whole social polity was based on a primary de
nial.of that truth. Ilonce, while other States
have been stained with the guilt of Repudia
tion, none beside have plunged into it so deeply,
so persistently, so shamelessly, as have most of
those, which now rally around the black flag
of the Southern Confederacy and have commit
ted their fortunes into the keeping of Jefferson
Davis. p '
The sacrednoss of pecuniary obligations is
nowhere so generally, so profoundly realized
Us it should be. In every community, men are
found who make loud professions of religion
and would by a suggestion that they
are knaves, yet who prove themselves such by
their treatment of their creditors. To bo una
ble to pay an honest debt is la misfortune'that
may befall any one.; but to contract-a debt
under representations of solvency which Time
proves unfounded ; to leave a debt Unpaid, yet
live in elegant comfort on tho property thus be
guiled from confiding creditors, this is to com
mit a theft Whereof tho criminality is aggrava
ted by its immunity from Kgnl punishment.—
Yet how many are to-day living on property
thus acquired and held who imaginc'themselves
honest men and Christians?
Bat of all forms of repudiation that of refu
sal to make due provision for.the discharge of
public indebtedness is tho basest because the
safest.. Here is a state, a county, a cky, whose
people suppose that they can promote their own
welfare by borrowing the money wherewith to
improve a river or harbor, or construct n canal
or roilroad : so they borrow it, and fail in either
case to realize their sanguine expectations.—
The work does not pay : so they follow ifs had
‘example. They might pay their debt if they
would, but that would suhjest them to heavy
taxation—perhaps to the privation of some
things deemed essential to their comfort or en
joyment: so they let the debt go unpaid, inter
est and principal, and try to fancy themselves
honest and even pious. But they deceive them
selves only,, not their Maker—not one single
uncorrupt, disinterested intelligence. They be
tray their knavery under less provocation and
with loss excuse tbnn the private debtor who
could pay his creditors in part,.and dues not
because to pay would divest his family of com
fort and a home. "<
But to err is human, therefore pitiable, not
exchsahle; to exalt villainy into a principle
and glory in systematic wrong-doing, is the
nentfe of hardened guilt. If the subjects of
President Davis who have felt constrained to
' lot their notes go'to protest! and thus whelm
thousands of oar confiding merchants in the
abyss of bankruptcy, bad' evinced any regret
for the ruin they, were calling down upon hon
ored and innocent beads, their sin might have
been.regarded with compassion. But, as a ger -
eral rule, those Who have .wantonly plunged
into rebellion have seemed to exult in their
ability to add the guilt of swindling to that of
treason. Their letters to their‘betrayed and
ruined Northern creditors have, teemed with
insult to their dupes, and in glee at aggravating
frand by indignity. That they were robbing
those dupes of tho savings of lives of honora
ble industry—that they were subjecting their
gray hairs to dishonor and their children to
want—has seemed a fiendish joy to these cru
saders against public loyalty and private faith.
To inform their Northern- creditors that they
had invested the umonnt of their several obli
gations in’ the war-loan bf the Southern Con
federacy—(usually a moat superfluous false
hood)—bias beon the standing joke of these
pattern rascals, who would not have deemed
their villainy perfect had they not volunteered
tho supererogatory assurance that it was wholly
unnecessary. The fact that most of the North
ern merchants thus swindled have been devoted
champions of the South throughout the past
years of sectional controversy has pleaded in
vain—they were Northern in location, there
fore to he robbed,-no matter how Southern in
principle; and political action, i Never before
was repudiation so general or so gloried in as
by the Southern debtors of Northern merchants
since the formation of the Southern Confed
eracy.
Mississippi, Arkansas,, and Florida were
among the earliest, the most ; inexcusable, the
most impddent-repudiators of public debts.—
The fact that a leader in that most shameful
robbery of the creditors of Mississippi is the
cfadsen President Of. the “ Confederate States,”
fads been one invincible obstacle to their obtain
ing any sort of credit'in Ecrope.; Bankers and
-capitalists who cared nothing for Slavery, and
iwere-mmido unwilling to see the Cotton States
severed from'the Unioti, and thus placed-in
commercial relations with the.
factories of the Old World,, were repelled-.by
names so unpleasantly fragrant in their memo
ries as those of Mississippi and her Davis, apd
peremptorily refused to have any dealings witk
‘so unpromising—or rather, ea.unperfonning—
a partnership..
Two creations are. suggested, by the notorious
facta in the premises which' commend them
selves to general aifd - earnest consideration.
They ate— •
1. Is repudiation Cvof a profitable “osppri-
meet? Does not the peßnancnt and inevitable
loss o£ credit—the -inability to command re- ■
sources in time of urgent need—fully coun
terbalance —yes, overbalance the immediate
gain—-■
2. Can those who refuse to Labor its due
recompense of wages be relied oh, in the face
.of sore ,temptation, to do justice to any creditor
whatsoever ? > .
That the country, 1 ■doomed to enumorous, un
precedented loss and-waste by this most wan
ton. fiagitious rebellion, should clamor for its
summary suppression, is natural} human, una
voidable. That .young soldiers should, insist on
being led to battle the T day : a{ter their enlist
ment need excite no surprise.. Having volun
teered to fight for the Union against. Secession,
they-cannot see why, since there are Secession
ists in arms against the Government, they should
not be allowed to.let drive at those rebels. But
the considerate must be aware that a great ar
my is a vast and complicated machine, which
cannot be properly constructed in a breath.—
Men are first and most im
portant fequisite-T-bot arms, provisions, muni
tions, uniforms, equipments, are likewise essen
tial. Nay, tents, wagons, pontoons, forage,
must also bo provided. And for a nation-so
peaceful and unarmed os ours to call Two Hun
dred and Fifty Thousand raw Volunteers into
the field, guard .securely a belligerent frontier
of over a, thousand miles, and prepare to as
sume a vigorous offensive, with amain army of
One Hundred Thousand strong, sustained by
formidable and active columns on both flanks,
is not very slow work for two months, which is
about the time which has elapsed since the fall
of Fort Sumter.
Not our soldiers only,- but our people also,
should realize that the time is not wasted which
troops not yet a month from their own firesides
devote to drilling, marching, accustoming them
selves to move by brigades and divisions, and
learning bow to handle and carry their arms so
that they, shall be dangerous to the enemy, and
to Him alone. Every regiment tbat has had two
months of tont life, well improved,,will go into
battle more effective with eight hundred men
than an utterly green regiment with -one" thou
sand. Courage, most men and nearly all sol
diers possess; but courage alone is no security
against panic and flight, when suddenly opened
upon by unsuspected and inaccessible batteries,
or decimated by rifle-shots from an ambuscade.
Courage alone may make a fair soldier, but dis
cipline must be added to constitute an effective
army. To advance through a hostile country,
swarming with foes who prefer firing at senti
nels to fighting battles, and" who devote their
mental energies to contriving traps and dead
falls, is to brave hazards which undrilled troops
are rarely fitted to encounter with safety."
We have been, and still are, anxious to hur
ry forward as many good, thoroughly equipped
regiments os possible, for we believe they will
drill more earnestly and improve faster on the
Potomac-than bn the Connecticut or Hudson.
But whenever General Scott shall say he has
men enough in band, our hurry will be over.—
Henceforth, we rest in our confidence in the
rare abilities and half century’s esperienoi ,of
the, Lieutenant-General. If he says ‘Advance I’
we shall feel sure that the signs are right; if
he says 1 Halt I’or says nothing, wa shall be
lieve that he had excellent reasons for just that.
If he shall, be enabled, by waiting a month, to
take Richmond as.cheaply as he.toofc Harper’s
Ferry, who would not prefer to wait? . Mean
time, the rebel treasury is empty, with over
One Hundred Thousand names on their pay
rolls, and provisions twice as dear -with them
as with us. Rely on it, we can better afford to
wait than they can, and will gain thereby in
relative strength. . Let the campaign be prose
cuted with energy, hot. let no, forward step be
taken that will,have to -be retracted. Let us
proceed surely, at all events—that secured;
then so fast as may be. Remember Big Bethel!

Eleven - Months.—rWe arc able lo announce
on unquestionable authority, that Lieut. Gen;
Scott has so far matured’bis plans for the war
as to inform the President and Cabinet that the
Inst secession flag s’hall" be torn down; the au
thority of the federal government reinstated on
every foot of American sdiL and Jeff. Davis
hung or driven out' of the country, within
eleven months from the day when Fort Sumter
was surrendered. About the 4th of March
next ho will hand over the Union, safe and
sound, to its constituted and constitutional au
thorities. Old Lundy Lane tabes his time to
map out the campaign and pnt his fbroes in the
best fighting trim, and then he always wins at
the time of day he agrees to. Ho has taken
the contract to wind up the disunion business
within 11 mouths from the thirteenth of April;
and he ieill da it'.
We understand that it is a part of. General
Scott’s plqn to occupy Virginia and Tennessee
completely on or beforetthe twentieth of July,-
Sixty-five thousand Northwestern troops will
move down the Mississippi as far ns Memphis,
under Generals Frerporit and McClelland; and
remain iq cSmp until thjj sickly season is.pasf,
when they will "move on toward the Balize,
there meeting ths conquering army of the East
and celebrating 'Washington’s birth day in
New Orleqns.— Chicago Tribune.
Parole.— The Earole of Honor, which is
bought to be made binding by nn oath of alle
gienoe, is becoming more and more ridicnloiis
every day. The idea of ndministering nne oath
to a set of menrwho have already violated an
other, strikes u's as had policy; The traitors
Who are taken prieeners while in the act of as
sault On the troops of the government will he
willing to accept any terms to be released. An
oath is of no cons'equence to them. If Jeff.
Davis was in. the hands of General Scott to-day,-
ho would pawn his soql to be released to-mor
row. He would swear any oath -to be permit
ted to go free on his parole of honor. What
would such a perjury he to the peijury that has
already sealed his eoul for an awful punisli
iient ? mere nothing, when weighed
in the balance with hie other crimes. We trust,
then, that the farce of administering oaths of
allegiance, and setting men ftp as good and loy
al citizens who arc arrested in l armed hostility
against the government, will stop. It ig a moc
kery in the sight of God and man. If we have
not thc/odrage to punish these traitors as the
law provides, let ue not assume the audacity of
inventing pinjured excuses for their crimes, by
giving them daily evidences of out weakness
find credulity. The policy of “Death to : Trai
tors” alone will restore peace-to the country.
A Union man, lately froin Tennessee, re
ports that the private secretary of the Govern
or has already written out-death warrants for
leading Unionmen, among them Etheridge and
Johnson, to be issued on the 9th. The tone, of
the Memphis journal* seems to corroborate this
statement,’ especially as to Etheridge,
