Judge Hale of Center County ■(w’lp I saw by

who voted against the EmancipatiOnjßill lately
considered in Congress. He may haye reasons
which he thinks are good for it, protest
that if he were the Representative ofcßiis coun

against the wishes of its loyal populdiaon, who
have sent so many of their sons ttt defend. their
principles at the point of the bayonet, who

public are fighting only to do the gloat cause
of this rebellion the justice it deaejies. They
believe that this government was {bimded upon
the immutable and everlasting ;p)inoiples of
freedom to all men, and though slaijely. exis'ed
at the lime it was established, yet they are per
suaded that the fathers of the Repihlio hoped
-■ to put it in “ the course of ultimata iixjihotion,”
and so expressed themselves; that Slavery has
been trenching upon the rights of freedom for
many years, and tat . last has committed the
great crime of rebelling against the.lawful au-,-

jßf'&’-On the 7th of July last, a call was made
on the. State for twenty-one regiments of volut)-
teers. On Monday a communication was re
ceived from the War Department containing a
requisition for the. militia of the full .quota of
the Stato under the two recent calls, each for
300,000 men. The full quota of this State un
der these calls will he 92.841 men less the
number furnished by the 15th inst., under the
call of July 7th, above mentioned.’
Shall drafting he resorted to in this county
to raise one proportion of men? Under
the call for 300,000 volunteers. we have furnished
our full quota. We shall have to raise 'about
four companies more. We have reason to be
lieve that the State authorities will forego
drafting in all localities where the quota can
he filled by voluntary enlistments. We hnvis
furnished more men than any other county in
the State according to its population. Let us
have thtTh.onor of being the first county in the
State to furnish itgfull quota. We can do it
if we toy.! 7 ?
Facts which have recently come to light leave
no doubt of the existence of an organization of
rebels in this state, the object of* which is to
help the rebels in arms to the utmost of its
ability. Wc do not believe that such an organ
ization exists in this county, bnt recent events
have proved beyond preadventure, that there
are those in our midst who would gladly jpin
one, if it existed. Honest differences of opin
ion as to the true policy of the Government
and of Congressional legislation may be enter
tained and avowed ; and the honest, just and
fearless criticism of the acts of our rulers, and
'of our generals ought not to be denied to.any
man, nor Ought any man to be subjected to sus
picion of loyalty for using these priveleges.
But when men go further and give expression
to their regrets or their rejoicings os the trai
tors are defeated or are victorious ; when secret
plots, and hellish plans are laid to bring re
cruiting for the army into contempt or disgrace ;
when the fears prejudices, or passions of the
ignorant are excited by lying and cowardly
appeals, then these sculping traitors ought to be
dragged forth to the public gaze, and punished
with doc and fitting severity.
Ilore is a case in point : The editors and
publishers of the Harrisburg Patriot and. Union,
not content-with disgracing the old Common
wealth of Pennsylvania by its covert, insidious
.and wily attacks upon the Government through
its columns from day to day,, have at last re
sorted to the despicable practice of pasting
forged handbills iu public places for the mpal
wioked purposes, namely, to incite riot and
bloodshed among peaceable citizens, and to
prevent recruiting in the ranks of the army of
the Union. The following la a specimen of
these hand bills:
“Attention Colored Kten. .
The great Gen. James - Lane has arrived ifl
this city to will address the Colored
Citizens of Ilarrisburg'm-fnint of the Market
l House at 4 o’cdopk this (M'ind.ty) afternoon.

THU WAR NEWS,
Saturday a hotly contested battle.was fought
near the Rapidarrßlvct.six miles south of Cul
pepper Court-House, between Gen. Pope’s ad-'
vnnee, under Gens. Banka and McDowell, and
a strong Rebel force under the immediate com
mand of Stonewall Jackson anil Ewell. It war
evidently‘a bold dash—according to Rebel
strategy—to capture or out up Banks’s division
before he oould'get support, but Gen. Pope
himself arrived in time to prevent the success
of the plan. The fight raged hotly for five or
lix hours, at first by cannon only, but final
ly with infantry. General Banks held bis
his ground completely, and our troops remained
under arms and in pbsition all sight. The
loss is supposed to be from 2 4 000 to 3,000 on
each side. An,unusnap number of officers are
among the wounded. The fight had sot been
renewed at our latest advices—Sunday morn
ing—heat and exhaustion preventing.
There was no fighting on Sunday, but a skir
mish is repotted, in which 12 cavalry men were
wounded. I’he Rebels made several efforts to
flank our anny„but were checked. , At daylight j
on Sunday, Geri. Milroy’s pickets occupied the I
battle-field, the enemy having fallen back two
miles. On Monday morning*the Rebels sent a j
flag of truce t asking permission to bury their j
dead. A our wounded have ar
rived at Washington, and the Alexandria hos
pitals have been cleared for their use. A sin
gular adftission, made by the. Rebel Gen. Stu
art, bints something of Burnside’s movements,
and of the possibility of another fight not yet:
reported. Stuart says ] that while coming up
(from Richmond, of course) he got in the rear
of two brigades coming from Fredericksburg ;
that he made them fight him, and then wentj
around by a cross road and came up bere |
(meaning up to Cedar (Mountain). His man- j
ner of stating the case indicates that he was i
, worsted in the alleged fight. The force on our
.side must have been a part of Burnside(scnm- {
mand. One of the lively inoidents-of Saturday’s ]
fight, was a spltndid charge made by the.fith
Ohio. On their dashing forward, down a ra-!
°- i I
vine, they wore obliged to pass' ‘directly over
one of our regiments lying on the ground to
evade the Rebel fire. Not a man flinched, but
up the hill the; went, yet not soon enough to
Ditch the Rebels, who made quick time out of
the way. We have as yet no return of casual
ities ; the latest estimate of the number killed
puts it at 200. The Rebels must have lost
more, as they played the Riclimond game of
hurling heavy masses pf men in the teeth of
our artillery. General Winder, Rebel, 1 was
killed by a shell. Many of our wounded ofi
oers were,taken prisoners, but the Rebels de
clined to give their names. (These are the
men whom Jeff. Davisj excepts from the rules
of war, and proposes to keep in close confine
ment, and bang in case any of his guerrillss
are hung.) During the battle General Green
of Augur’s division occupied the left wing.
Generals Prince niid-:Geary~the center,! and
Generals Crawford and Gordon tho right. Gen*
eral Crawford lost in killed and "wounded all
his officers. The battle was one of the most
fiercely contested yet fought in Virginia. |
The Rebel navy is once more demolished.—
The famous faro Arkansas, which played such
havoc with our fleet at Vicksburg, is no more.
From the 45th Pa. Begiment,
Newport Nsws, Va., July 20, 1802,
Mr. Editor, Sir: .Time once more permits
mo to drop you a few lines. Since I last wrote
to yon one more important. move , has been
made, that is that the 45th have left their sandy
isle and pine grove with, its contrabands .pnd
scorching sun and steamed up to Furtfess
Monroe, Va. Our regiment left South Carolina
on the 18th of July, apd after a pleasant voy
age of four days cast anchor in Hampton Roads,
where we stayed for thf night, July 22d. The
next morning we continued our course (up
James River .past Sowell’s Point pud np as
far as Newport News,'where'we landed And
marched three" oiiiss-to our present camping
ground. The first nigift we had the privilege
of lying on the ground, withouftents tired and
hungry. Our trip toi. Virginia was a very

Newport News appears to bo a very stirring
placrjwith o’ great "deal of business done and
money spent., 'Th'e guns have been dismounted
on the eftrthworkrabriill the pt£ao,,the barracks
that cost so much- hard labor. and time are
now occupied, by siek-and wounded' soldiers.
We have about, one thousand in the General
Hospital now. A boat came in yesterday loaded
with exchanged sick and wounded prisoners
from Richmond, they speak highly of the care
they received at the* hands of the Rebel sur
geons, who.tended them all the: aid possible to
alleviate their pains; many of the poor soldiers'
were neirly destitu.teof clothing, some having
only q single piece to cover tbeni; they report
that the Bucktnil prisoners are there trying to
make the best of their sojourn in Seceshdom.
They think the Rebel soldier would almost
grow crazy at the word ‘ Peace coming from
their authhrities, peace would b* dearer if pos
sible to them than to tbe Yankee Soger Boy.
Disease is amongst them, they are dying off
continually, their bone yards are fast filling
up. The gallant Cumberland lays close to the
landing at this place, her rigging is all good
and mostly-above water, she went down before
she could get ashore, the, authorities talk of
raising her. The Congress lays a little farther
down afid nearer into shore. Her gunwale and
guns are to be seen at low tide, her rigging is
gone, it was burned at the time of her sinking.
With these two frigates went to rest two of
tho bravest crews that ever sailed over the briny
deep. While the Congress was on fire and fast
sinking, a boldj tar completely enveloped in
flames,'and going only by the sense of feeling
rushed up to a loaded gun and touched, it off,
tbe ball struck the rebel destroyer as the gun
waS discharged, the brave man sank in the
briny to rise no more. Over tbe Cumber
land the water was seen to boil from the effects
of a gun being discharged as she went under.
The ball never went where it was intended, but
it shows the valor of these braves that would
rather die at tGSr posts than to try to escape
when solid land was so close to hand. Let
every American soldier act os brave as this
and the war will soon be over.
The 4Sth have got no mail as yet, except’ a
very few acatteringyletters, but the mails will
soon come regular once more.
Later—-Oar Regiment is to leave this place
directly, we know not where we go.

A Mass Meeting was held at tho Boro of
Mainsburg, on Thursday, August 7tli, at which
a large concourse of people from every part of
the connty were assembled. Long before the

and wicked rebellion. 1
Resolved, That we also thoroughly endorse
tho action-of tho .County Commissioners in
their efforts to raise money to be paid as boun
ties to those who volunteer to fight the battle
of their country.
Resolved, That it is the manfest .duty of each
and every citizen of Tioga County, to hastily
respond to the call of the President, by -em
ploying every means in their power to place
her full qniita of .men in-the-fleldat once.
Resolved, That in fhis hour of our national
calamity, we know no party, but are most for
him who is most for his country.
Resolved, That we are most emphatically_for
Our country ns against all its fhes—whether
they be Jeff Paris, Louis Napoleon, John Bull,
or the Devil.
Retained, That if onr Nation must perish ;

T'E. Gridley tlien followed in a series of
bold, sweeping and often amoving remarks,
when tbe-day being- far spent the audience

What has Become of th 3 Specie.
All of lour readers will like a sensible answer
to the abbve question—which is probably asked
every hour of the day — and W! will allow tbe
city editor of the New York Tribune to gratify
them. He talks as though he knew what he
was talking about.
‘•lt wi 1 be conceded that there is as’much
money ir the country Row as there has been at
any former period. ! There is aa|much gold and
silver, aid there are as many brink notes in the
city end country as ever before. Treasury
notes to be amount of $300,00(j,000 have been
put in circulation during the past fifteen
months, hnd yet merchants, brokers, bankers
and tbe people generally, compliin of a toarci
ty of change. Whjat has become of it ? By
what mysterious agency is it absorbed from
tbe channels of circulation ? Where are the
rich reservoirs that hold the precious treasure ?
Who is the happy n)an who will strike therein
that shall yield a plentiful flow of the white
and yellpw current) again? 1$ needs no pro
found skjll to penetrate the fact that the money
is in Wall street, in) this city, fn State street,
; in Bostoi) in other vpords, it is jn the vaults of
I men whojse foresight and financiering skill en
abled them to create the present panic by di
verting tihe course |of the circulation of coin
from the (legitimate channels of ‘trade into their
own pockets. Tber; it remains), quietly wait
ing for premiums. Ask the m|tn who' own it
to obligelyou with :t at a reasonable advance,
and eachj one will rjply, “silver) and gold have
I none biit such as ,jl have, give I unto thee,”
and each )one will show hands filled with post
age stamps. How shall we bring these men to
terms ? We answer by cheerfully using the
stamps, receiving them without Ireluotance, and
paying them out without apologies. Handle
OllilU.lE.
the stamps carefully—keep clean and
prevent their adhesion—for they aro really
money that will stuk to honest; fingers unless
delicately; manipulated. In a [fen’ weeks the
gold and! silver co n will comp out of their
hiding places somewhat deprecated in value
by the clipping and sweating process, but they
will com-jwithout a "premium.
