WOULD EBGIiAHD GAIIT BY A BEC
OGUTITIOW OF TIB BEBELS ?
Tii this question, one of this English weekly
journals answers “No!” The reasons for the
. negative are very clearly stated, as follows:
•‘No sooner shall we. have assisted the South
to attain its independence than new. questions of
the first importance will comp op as to slavery
extension and.the slave kradei; Mexico, and an
Anglo-Saxon slave-common,wealth can never he
peaceable neighbors. The South already in
tend to absorb Mexico. For twenty years back
their policy has tepded in this direction. The
Knights of .the Gplden Circle are pledged to
the attempt. The! genius ,)( the slavery cotton
system requires , constant onlargment of_area,
and Mexico is not'the state to resist any consist
ent and well-organized pressure. We shall
have soon to face the efforts of the South to ab
sorb Mexico as of the slave commonwealth,
and the same peril which ■ makes us bend be
fore it now, will h'd ns bend before it then.—
We shall Winvolved in the; meshes of the sla
very net, and be pi ore sensitive than ever to.the
danger of slave insurrections, the menaces of
northern abolitionists, in short, the moral ne
‘ cessity of .supporting the South against its nor
thern foes. . .
"And what will be- our reward ?—that we
shall have a less formidable rival in Disunited
than we could ever have in United States. This
is one of those political motives which we can
never hear confessed without wondering at the
unblushing selfishness, of statesmen. It has,
we know, a real influence English thought
at the present motaent. • ft js’thought that we
shall find our advintage i» the quarrels of our,
rivals. .Perhaps to ;if it,lift pur advantage to
fear them less,-an I,to be more than ever in the
.hands of one of them atlepst* The South may
Tiecome to us another-Tujkw, with far more
than the moral co n plications') of Turkish mis
goverhment. Wt may drifj sooner than we
think into a real or fancied necessity for main
taining the integr ty of the South against the
North. A weak nud unscrupulous ward con
trives practically, ib imposq a far more galling
yoke l Win a powerful and bodacious rival.
'“We are now at the meeting of the ways. If
we are wise, we shall kand'sedulously aloof
from all djploma ic action till the contest is
over, and either,/) le combatapt is vanquished
or the two have.mode tbeilf gjfn terms. But
all mtr.moral influences ougltf fto be clearly giv
en to the North, and. if the f inclusion of the
struggle leaves any portion -of the- southern
states independent, it should be our earnest en
deavor to support i he northern stales in the pol
icy of saaling up slavery within certain impas
sable limits, atfd forever terminating the slave
trade. If the: moral influence of England is
cast into the other scale 1 , we shall say that a
liberal Administration will have deliberately
inflicted a greater injury on the, cause of free
dom than any single generation of liberals can
hope to retrieve.” ' , ,;'

The St. .'Louis Evening News has the follow- j
ing account of the .rebellion of John Rostand
his Cherokees: 1 j
“The battle of • yPilpon’:! Creek had had the
tmhnppiest effcctr (The secession party—against
which chief John Ross htid struggled so hard,
and, apparently, with s(! ,mnoh success—was
greatly strengthened by iWt event-, and, insti
gated by emissaries of the Confederate states,
had renewedatbeir jTiolent.olamors for alliance
with the South. 1 - 'i
“Overbdrne by tfiis, pressure, John Ross, on
•the 20th of August, called the Council togeth
er at Taleqnab and sent -in a message recom
mending a severance of (heir connection *itb
the government jpu the Obi ted States and an al
liance with theiSoutherp .Confederacy.' The
Council, by, a rate, approved of these recom
mendations, day appointed commis
sioners to make al treaty of alliance with the
southern governmjent. h ’ a
“The Confederate Commissioner at Taleqnah,
with authority from Richmond, had made prop
ositions to the Council,. Offering to assume the
payment of the regular annuities which the
Cherokess had hitherto received from the Uni
ted Stat s government, and .which they feared
wonld jbu lost to tnem by an' alliance with the
South.! The proposition, together with the vio
lent add overbear bg conduct of the secession
party, proved tot) much for the wavering-Ross
and the! Council; jand as they were threatened
by the invasion fijom Arkansas and and
without the hope of!siiocob from the fede.rn!
governm mt, they agreed to secede from the
United £ tates andj unite with the rebel govern
ment. ■ 1 1
“The wife of Chief Roes, however, held out
to the hat, and refused.to yield up her adhen
ence to tpe Union. After the proceedings of
the Cot nfcil,- aConfederße flag was prepared to

THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR.
PBOH THE TIOGA BOYS.
Co'reapondeace of tbe Agitator.
Camp Tjexkaixt, D. C. Sept- 30,1861,
Friend Agitator,— Lust Wednesday morn*
lag while yet sa-early that the-moon was our
only light,;we were busily, engaged in Camp
Union, mailing preparations fOron earty'slarf
to oar newjocation in. Gen. McCall’* Division,
and Just as the bright euri rolled tip; above the
eastern hills, the drums beat, and we were
drawn up in line of battle, with our knapsacks
heavily loaded, ouf haversacks filled with two
day’s rat intis, our -canteens -filled-.wilh water.; -
and a gun upon owr shoulders weighing twelve
pounds, and started off on quick time. The
day was warm and plensant —thoroud, one. of
the finest Lever saw, was the old paved high
way, between Frederick Oity, and Washington,
bat as pleasant -ns it' is, it ; is .like Jordan, “a
hard road to travel.’’ We reached this camp
about half-past three, P. M., and before the son
went down, our tents were pitched, and in good
order, and the Buck-tails seated around their
camp-fires,, cracking-jokes, and-prinking coffee,
twenty-five miles from where we were on the
previous night.,-
Our camp is pleasantly situated on a high
point of ground, about one and d half miles
from the Chain Bridge, and four from .Wash
ington. It is surrounded .on every side by
strong fortifications, while others are constant
ly being built.. I was down to tbe Chain Bridge
Thursday. It is well guarded at each end by
strong batteries, besides there is a line Of earth
works and batteries which extend the, whole
length of tbe bights, from the bridge, to Wash
ington. For miles around tbo city, it is one
grand encampment, with hundreds of thou
sands of .strong hearts aching, for a fight, and
cannons enough to blow, up Giberalte. Yet
’tis a sad truth, that within sight of all this
grand military preparation, there is a flag that
floats in opposition to tho one that waves above
the Capital of the Nation.
Thursday was a general day of rest among
the soldiers., It was a day fur prayer and fast
ing, hut as we have to fast the most of the time,
we concluded to let others have that part of tho
exercise. We had the pleasure, however, of lis
tening to a short, but eloquent and patriotic
sermon, by. ,the Rev. Win. Ilaskall, of West
field, Pennsylvania.
Friday v. as a cold, stormy day,; tho wind
hlejv a perfect gale all night, occasionally sweep
ing one of our tents “to grass.” As I lay cud
dled down among my tent mates, (Dap, Tom,
Add and Ed.) I was strongly reminded ,of the
cold, chilly wind of our northern December.
Saturday night, we received orders to he
ready to march at a momen.’e warning. We
were infrnied that if a single six pounder was
fitied during tho night, to spring to the ranks
and he. ready to start; hut tbe night wore away
and all was quiet. Sunday morriing brought
us tbe glad tidings that Munson’s Bill was ours,
and that, too, without the loss of a man. That
was a good move,for it was a strong hold, but
not ns strong as we expected, hut it cheered tbe
bravo heart of the mighty army of the north.
This morning was ushered in by tho thun
dering of cannons over in It has
been kept up the most of the day, A party of
rebels tried to cross tbe river, hut.were driven
hack. It created a great excitement here, and
in leas than one hour, more than 100,000 men
were under arms, ready to fight to the bitter
end. The very heavens echoed with cheers.—
We all feel lliat w p havq received our last, de
feat, and lost our. last battle.
A sergeant in Co. F. t of our Regiment, shot
himself todays He loaded hie.gun, placed the
muzzle in bis mouth end pulled jt off with bis
toe. lie was a little insane; and bad been a
number of,.days.
Wo know,net wb.it moment we will be called
into the battle field—all is excitement here.—
The readers of this sheet, can scarcely imagine
the warlike preparations which, surround us,
fur in Old Tioga, all is pence—but even there,
thousands of anxious hearts beat quiukly at
every rumor of war, and of mothers,
sisters, wives and brothers, are gathered around
once happy household fires, eagerly awaiting
intelligences of loved ones, gathered on distant
fields to defend the honor of tbo Xation.

Binghamton - Enterprise. —While on a r -
cent visit to Binghamton, .we were much sur
prised to see the activity and business.atir with
which the place seemed' to be alive—notwith
standing the pressure of hard times and war ex
citement, Binghamton enterprise seems to be
on the increase. Several new features attracted
our notice, prominent among these were the
now Presbyterian Church, q magnificient brick
edifice, nearly completed, apd the new Commer;
cial Buildings, on Court street, a three story
hrick and granite structure, beautifully orna
mented with heavy capitalsrand rich carvings.
We understand that Messrs Lowell & Warper
of the Bipghamton Commercial College are to
move their Institution into this building as soon
as completed' Thqt the prosperity of this. Co
llege should'deruand more spacious accommoda
tions is satisfactory evidence of its merits, and
another proof the success of Binghamton enter
prise, several of the young men of this section
have graduated at the Binghamton Collpge, and
speak well of the management, and qualification
of its Teachers. -
The aid which the Faculty renders to young
me.n in obtaining situations is a strong incen
tive to an.attendance. We hail the. pleasure of
meeting T. T. Mersereau formerly of this place,
now connected with the Bank of Binghamton.
Mr. Mersereau is a graduate of this College,
and through the influence of its Faculty, obtain
ed bis present situation. Uitpnumerons friends
in -Owego u ill be glad to learn that he,has taken
up ,his,abode amongiho activity and eruerprise

MANSFIELD SEMINABY.
Mr. Editor. —We are anxious to gay to the
friends who have looked with so much solici
tude upon'this educational enterprise, that this
year has opened with flattering prospects, not
wi'hstanding-'the pressure of these war times.
The people seem to bo unwillingi to let their
children go -uneducated, though the destroyer,
war, may be swallowing up millions of dollars
of the wealth of the Itind. Our patronage is
ranch larger than we anticipated. This is ns it
should be, and proves it to be a fixed principle
fh the minds of the intelligent North, that itho
masses must continue ,to be educated, or tjhe
basis of our republican institutions is wanting.
Mansfield Seminary has a place in the afflic
tions and sympathies of the people of jTidga
arid. Bradford, that is faaf enlarging, J till it
shall soon extend'into Others, and to onr
state. This Seminary is just entering upon a
great and gloriou,* career for the educntiopal
interests of Northern; Pennsylvania.- We ex
pect a large increase upon our one hundred of
this term, the approaching winter term. The
middle of the present term, will belthe 10th
inst ; lllon will be a good time for students to
enter. They will pay from tho time they enter,
to the close of. the term. We hope to sec a
large accession at that time. Keep in mind
that all kinds of produce are taken lit payment
at market prices. E. Wild Max, Principal.
How the Enemy get Information.. —Colonel
Forney writes from Washington to the, Phila
delphia TVesif. -
“ It is the frequent boast of the southern trai
tors that every .movement of our armies is im
mediately made, known. to them, and that the
free states abound with their spies, wjio, under
the clonk of loyal professions, obtain possession
of the confidence of the Union fuen, w high they
use and abuse without hesitation. Washing
ton city is the very 'nest of these yeftnin.—
They, are often among the. loudest tojshont ho
sannas to the Union; but let a battle,be lost to
the American flag, and they cannot restrain
their joy. The female secessionists who shel
ter IhemaeLtcs behind ;the impunities and priv
ileges of their sex delight in evey kind of -dem
onstration against the government, and are only
dangerous when they 'ir|itato. their lords and
masters by pretending to sympathize .with the
cause of the country. . Then become the
efficient and vigilant auxiliaries-of Davis and
his crew.. It is-Jjtflieved h?ro that, immediately
after the movement upon Munspn’s Hill had
been decided upon by the military authorities
and the Cabinet, information was tfohveyed to
the rebel troops' across the Potomac, (and bpon
this nd monition they retreated without the loss
of a man,” ,

rious flight of an ex-President of the' Ujiitsd
States is thus recorded By the Louisville, (Ky..)

“ We learn from Mt. Sterling that ou Friday

What Hatteras has Done for us.—The
London Times thinks the capture of the Hattef
as forts a matter of no such great importance.
Doubtless the Charleston Mercury agrees with
the Times. When Charleston is taken, wberi
Fensacola is opened to the commerce of the
world, when the Mississippi Sound, which con
nects Mobile with New Orleans; is completed
in our possession, and the passes of the Missis
sippi are held by our troops, perhaps we shall!
think less of Hatteras. BuC-even then we shall
remember that since the capture of Fort Hat
teras and Fort Clark we have not heard of ia
single new privateer: we have not heard of oije
vessel running the blockade; of one American
ship captured by pirates; or of an arrival of
any kind in the southern waters. But we have
heard the shudder of alarm which ran like
wildfire through the whole southern country;
we have heard of the “ disgraceful scene in the
North Carolina legislature,” as the Richmond
papers called it—which was nothing less than
a spontaneous shout for the Union, hy a part
of the legislators; when received news of the
rebel defeat and the surrender of the forts to
tbe Stars and Stripes. So much Hatteras has
done for us, at any rate : and doubtless, tbesb
circumstances give to those who have enjoyed
our losses a very contemlible opinion of
gains.— Xcw Turk Eixi.iny Post. [
For the Agitator,
Mutinous Federal Soldiers.- Gen. Wool'll
Address to them.—Baltimore, Octobers.—Pas-!
sengors by the boat which arrived this morn-|
ing from Old Point report that General Wooll
addressed the prisoners at the Rip-Raps, who
had bcen-sent there by General McClellan on
the way to Toitugiis. »
He told them that had General McClellan
shot them on the spot for the rebellion in the
fane of Ihe enemy he would have been perfectly
justified. He bad, however, a proposition to
make to them. All who were willing to place
themselves in his hands should stop forward
three paces. .These-who refused would proceedi
to Tortugas. The entire one hundred and fifty!
stepped forward with cheers, and manywere so!
affected that they sh.ed tears of joy and express
ed the desire to be placed where they could
but retrive the stigma that their acts had;
brought upon them. The whole number werei
immediately taken to-Newport News and mus
tered into a (New -(York regiment.
