If there be an able-bodied young man, with none positively dependent upon his labor or care in all this great Commonwealth, who can read the last Proclamation of Gorv. Curtin with out conaciencesmitings and shame, be is not to be envied. Of what are Pennsylvanians guilty, that such a rebuke and bitter reproach must blot the page of our State ? Time was when the ancestors of tbe men who have waxed rich in the Cumberland Valley, poured out (heir blood as water in defence of their hearths, homes, and rights. Has that blood deteriorated by transfer, or become corrupted bjy transmission from sire to son, that it turns 1 to water at the approach of armed traitors f Had every district in Pennsylvania respond* eti os nobly and promptly as did this borough and the region adjoining, Lee’s army had been checked on the border. Cut this is no lime for recrimination. It is never too lafb to repair such neglects. Pennsylvania demands the ser vices of sixty thousand of her citizens. ShaE that demand be complied with,? Young men and idlers—how will you meet the judgment of a discerning posterity if you fail to rally to the aid of the Commonwealth in this hour of trial! How can you endure the contempt of a critical public if you, with no earthly burden but un employed time to detain you from the field, re- fuse to respond to this appeal of your State ! The quota of Tioga county is 550 men. The term of service is sixty days. These men can "be found among the non-producers. They can be raised without crippling the industrial inter ests essentially’; and a healthy public opinien woufif convert service under this call into A de sirable alternative. Until such a healthy pub- lic opinion is universal we can never triumph over the formidable wrong that threatens the Commonwealth with devastation. But this quota mest be furnished ; by volun teering if possible, by draft, if necessary. Let it be by draft and service for three years is in evitable, unless the war sooner ends. Wisdom to voluntary service as the best. Let every ope choose for himself. “ IE ”..ITB VALUE. “ If," is a contraction of the word “ give," is equivalent to “ grant,”: “ allow," “ admit," and in use introduces subject matter in which some condition is implied or expressed. Perhaps this odd introductory sentence may prove relevant to what wo have to say. Let us sec: B has erected a splendid block of buildings in the business heart of a largo town. He lets this block to various persons, tradesmen aud mechanics. Everything goes prosperously on, and B, with his tenants find mutual profit in tbe arrangement. But some night half-a dozen men wait un G, and inform him that his splendid block must come dowo. They notify his tenants that they must remove their goods and wares. B protests; his tenants protest; but the demand is enforced.“ The demandants place powder under tbe structure, apply the match, and tbebleck falls in upon itself a mass of ruins. B finds himself some thousands out of pocket, and many tradesmen and mechanics find themselves without a place of business. What no outrage ! What an infraction of the rights of property and of domicil, as guar antied to the citizen by the Constitution !—you may say. I‘ee, —in the light of this ex parte statement, the proceeding appears a stupendous outrage. . But hold. Ir at the very time of the perpe tration of this destructive deed tbe business portion of the,town was in flames ; ir the tor -rent of fire bad got- headway beyond the con troiDf-rjrdinary appliances to subdue it; ir, in the judgmebtruf the authorities, tjle destruction THE TIOGA COP NTT AGITATQB. of B’» property was the condition of Miration for the property of jc, D, E, F, and many others —property worth tens, or hundred* of thou sands of dollars—why, then the outrage disap pears, and the deed is at once, sanctioned by correct public opinion. We here see one of the value* of “ if." JLDLY ,1. 1863. But suppose some man in that -community sheuld visit regions distant from the scene of the conflagration, and relate the fact of the de struction, carefully concealing the attendant circumstances; and-should charge that -in the community he had left the rights, privileges, and immunities of the citizen were utterly dis regarded would you consider such a man in the light of an honest, honorable man, a friend of the community he maligned ? or would you eet him down as a scoundrel, from surface to marrow 1 • And if, on being rebuked by some one cognizant of tile facta and circumstances, he should-protest that he bad the interests of that community at heart, —would you hesitate to, mark him down a liar ? Now, A, meeting B, strikes him down, dead. Ais arrested and'thrown into prison. On this statement, A is a homicde, and fallsunder the severest displeasure of the law. But on inves tigation !it appears that B drew a pistol upon A,-who' killed the former in self-defence. So the killing is declared justifiable and A is dis charged. We offer these in in illustration of the famil iar proposition: CiitccusTATtcEs. alter Cases. —A proposition utterly ignored by a class of > political gamblers, who aspire to rule or ruin. These are times of deep trouble. We regard the issues of this hour as Prudential,' intend ed to conduct this nation up to a manhood and prime that history shall pronounce noble and grand. We do not believe in the possibility of accidental happenings in the development of the Almighty plan. ,We consequently reject the oft-repeated assertion that this war might have been prevented by any human mea,ns. We also regard the law of Necessity as the or ganic law of the universe. By that lavy every man, and every community of men, are held strictly to account for every intelligent action. This nation hat sinned against the light from the hour it cast its cradle-bands; it must there fore suffer. As the punishment is laid on, so must it he borne; andhe who sits down anti repines, or grumbles about taxes for the common defence; or he who seizes upon this season of public disorder to mislead the ignorant, mould the, weak, and inflame the vicious, to the end that any man, or any set'of men may be benefited — that man deserves to have' no country. And the latter named is deserving of the measure of scorn and loathing that every honest man would mete out to the suppositious scoundrel described in the introductory illustration above. Circumstances alter cases. The rule in times of profound peace is altogether inadequate to the emergencies that constantly present them selves in times of civil war. Else, the institu tion of martial law had never been provided for. The so-called democrats who protest against the arrest, and trial by military courts, of men who, like Vallandigham, counsel resist ance to tbs execution of necessary laws, are either ignorant or wickedly factious ; if ignor ant, they are to be be pitied ; if factious, they aro simply aud only traitors, and deserve to be by every true man. To us a villain is not the less a villain because of po sition or vocation. Be be in rags or in purple —if his lips drop lies he is a liar, and nothing belter. And if a man be falsa to bis country he cannot be true to any man. Such is our rule, and such our practice ; for we are as ear nest in our haired of treason as in our love of fidelity. Therefore we ignore the subtle lines established by jpettifogging politicians, which leave us in dojbt as to the margin where truth ends and treason commences, and draw a line so broad that not even a child can mistake the boundary. THE INVASION OF PEKK&Yt VAXIA! Fighting at Harrisburg !!! TOAEMS! TOAEMS! There is no doubt but that the entire rebel army under Lee is now north of the Potomac and advancing rapidly upon Harrisburg and Philadelphia. All the principal towns and villages in the Cumberland Valley are occupied by the rebels. York, and Wrigbtsvtllo opposite Columbia, are also in rebel hands, and the mala body is ad vancing on Harrisburg. Tho citizens of Harrisburg, 3000 in number, have been armed, formed into companies, and sent across the river to tho entrenchments. Despatches from Harrisburg so late as 6 p, m., of Sunday, report the rebels within 3 miles of the city, and throwing shells. Our troops were in the intrenehments awaiting the onset. The occupation of York cuta the railroad communication with ; Baltimore by the North ern Central railway.’ Several bridges have been burned between York and Hanover Junc tion, There whs r skirmish between a detachment of our militia and a force of rebels at Wrights rille, opposite Columbia, in which our troops were forced -to retire across the bridge. The bridge was burped to prevent the rebels from crossing. i The resia are said to have a pontoon train approaching the river Below York. ' The Army of the Potomac is closing in upon the rebel tear, and will soon-be on the Penn sylvania border. Gen. Hooker has been relieved and Gen. Meade appointed to the command. The Gov ernment is hopeful of a favorable result from the transfer of the battle-ground from Virginia to Pennsylvania. ■ The State militia are hastening' to the field under .the last call of the Governor. The prejudice againal colored troops has dis appeared at Harrisburg and adjacent regions. Two companies of colored troops have been ac cepted and sent to the front. The news from Vicksburg is still favorable. Grant has still further closed in upon the city, and has silenced all their big guns. Proclamation by Osy. Curtin. - Pennsylvanians ; The enemy is advancing Joto Pennsylvania. He has a strong column within 23 miles of Harrisburg, and other col umns are moving by pulton and Adams Coun ties ; and it can no longer be doubted that a formidable invasion of our State is in actual progress. . The calls already made for volunteer militia, in the exigency, have hot been met as fully as the crisis requites. I therefore now issue this, my proclamation, calling for 60,000 men to come promptly for ward to defend the State. They will be mustered into the service of the State for a period of sixty days, but will be re quired to serve snly for so much of the period of muster os the safety of our people and the honor of our State may require. They will rendezvous at points to he desig nated in the general order to be issued this day by the Adjutant-General of Pennsylvania, which order will also set forth the details of the arrangements for their organization, clo thing, subsistence, equipment, and supplies. I will not insult you with inflammatory ap peals. A people who want the heart to defend their soil, their families, are not worthy to be accounted men. - - Deed not the counsels of evil-disposed per sons, if such there he, in your midst. Show yourselves what you ate—a free, loyal, spir ited, brave, vigorous race. Do not undergo the disgrace of'leaving your defense mainly to the citizens of other States. In defending the soil of Pennsylvania we gre contributing to the support of our National Government, and vindicating our fidelity to the National cause. Pennsylvania has always heretofore respond ed promptly to all the calls made by the Fed eral Government, and I.appeal to you not now to be unmindful that the foe that strikerat our State strikes through our desolation at the life of the Bcpublic. Our people are plundered and driven from their homes solely because of their loyalty and fidelity to free institutions. People of Pennsylvania! 1 owe to you all my faculties, my labors, my life 1 You own to your country your prompt and zealous services and efforts. The time has now co.me when we must all stand or fall together in the defence of our State, and in support of our Government. Let us discharge our duty so that posterity shall not blush for us. Com* heartily and cheerfully to the rescue of out noble Common wealth. Maintain now your honor and free dom. A. G. CUJftTIN, From the Six Month* Volunteer*. Ciiip Cletin, Haebisbueoh, Pa., 1 June 24, 18C3. 1 Friend Cobb : I redeem my promise to write you, at the earliest passible moment. But words are not the soldiers weapon, and I am very buisy, therefore, I will be brief. We arrived at Troy,on the day of our de parture, in time to meet the 6 o’clock evening train, and immediately embarked for Uarris burgh, where we arrived 1 o’clock Sunday morning, June list. The subsistence Department, consisting of a dry goods box, well packed with fresh bread, butter, beans, crackers, cheese, beef and etc., then had to suffer—grow “ smaller by degrees and beautifully less.” The depot platform was oup resting place until 4 o’clock in the morning; What f (do you say !) lay down on a plank, with perhaps a stick of wood for a pillow ? Ob, yes; that’s nothing; rather luxurious you know—if you know enough about it. Reaghed Camp Curtin at 5 o’clock—had the company examined—a mere fprm, a causual glance, accepted ae young as 15 years, in fact, any and all that can carry n musket —were mustered in, for “ 6 months, unless sooner dis charged”—issued requisitions for rations, uni form, blankets and everything except arms, which were filled and drawn, by 4 o’clock the same day. Eight young men from Tioga village joined the company, making 46 all told, who were sworn in Sunday 21st. The company has since been increased by 7 men from Lebanon county, and 11 men with Lieutenant Bobt. Young from Vfellaboro, and vicinity —total 66. I am authorized by the Governor to fill the company to 101, although it is accepted with the present numbers. The company is A num ber 1, as far ae age and morals is concerned; of course their military knowledge is to be ac quired. There has yet, since we left your place, been no instance of disgraceful drunkenness | or disorderly conduct, and there will not be, if military discipline and moral principle will pre vent it. There are about fifteen thousand (15,000) i troops here, and perhaps one thousand .(1,000) coming and departing daily—and have been for about one week. The majority of them are “ emergency men,” sworn into the United States service (and theretoie beyond recall by the Governor) to be held as long as the emer gency lasts, be it three weeks or three years— and when sent home, they take their arms with them and are subject to be called into the ser vice, whenever needed, during the war. Our Six-months volunteers simply say; “ Let them emerge,” as six-months service saves from the draft and whop discharged, it is for three years, at least, as drafted men will fill the army to all needful strength. • t These men for the emergency are organized immediately and sent into the Jield —without even the shadow of preparation, either in com pany drill or the manual of arms ; while the six-month* volunteers, being fewer in number are to be kept here at Camp Curtin, until they become more or less schooled in movements and the use of arms. New York has sent, and is still sending on men, but they go to the front, and will be re turned to their State as soon as our state shall fully respond, to the President’s call for 50,000 Pennsylvanians. 'New York has poured out troops like water and no doubt saved the Capi tal from sack by her noble response. - Our State is answering pretty well to this call, yet 1 think it quite doubtful as to her filling it up. : Woil, the draft will do it. The people must not nettle over the draft, when they would not close so favorable a bar-,, gain to.escape-lit—l mean those who were sub ject to draft, japd (so circumstanced that they could leave home without disturbing their fam ilies' ’) * • I found circumstances as favorable here as l could possibly have desired; but what elicits the broadest and most good-natured smile from CoL Beaver—-commander of camp—is the re ports of in coming six-months companies. You may judge of the want of men, when I tell you the examining Surgeon accepted one man with only one eye, but the mastering GffiOer (being a better military man) rejected him only because it was the right eye gone, as a man cannot Arabia musket le/2 handed, according to Ibe “ manual of arms.” I had two men re jected : Nathan Broughton—rheumatism: and, George Putman,—loss of right eye. These men were furnished with tion and rations bonus as all rejected are. I refused 20 men from Philadelphia who wanted to enlist in the company; refused them from the fact that they were not morally fit, although they may have been . physically so. They were “ red noses," while the majority of the'company a* to morals, is good. I will send -you a muster- roll of the com pany, as soon as it is filled a little, fuller, and the non-commissioned officers are elected. Ib the meantime if any good, man wants to enlist for six months service, send, him on. and be shall be received in a company where not one wishes to come home" before his time. Meanwhile, you who stay at home remember this; We will endeavor to look after the Rattle snake, but you-must take care of the snake which dont rattle. If you want tiny help, call on the six-months volunteers. Volunteer. Speech by a “Conservative.” Among the speaker* at a great Union Meet ing in Springfield, Ohio, on the,llth, was Gen. S. F. Carey, of Cinoinnati, well known here abouts aa a conservative gentleman of the strictest sect. In closing his remarks, Gen. Carey said; “ Now a few words on the politics of partic ular men. 1 was not in favor of Fremont’s proclamation, hut I have got-religion since then. This war will not cease until slavery is sunken. It has been the economy of God in all the past history to make slayeholding na tions fight for the removal of the cause. '■ Not at first, but now I am in favor of using negroes in any way to assist in putting down the Rebels. Let us save the Union and the Constitution, and God will take care of the white and the black races. "When you hear a man vaporing about Mr. Lincoln’s breaking the Constitution, with noth ing to say about Jeff. Davis, set him dofth as a traitor. “ If you think Mr. Lincoln weak, then the greater scoundrel you are if you do not help him. , “ A Rebel has two rights—a constitutional right to be hung, and a divine right to be damned. God bless Mr. Lincoln with all his faults. “ We ate making history, let u« pledge each other to make it welf. “ The Rebels arT" guilty of a crime, but we shall be guilty of a greater one if we do not crush them.” Loyal Men and Traitors. —ln his able charge to the Grand Jury of this county, Judge Pearson draws a clear distinction between loyal men and traitors, which it would be well for ev ery.oitizen carefully to bear in mind. We con dense and append this distinction for the ben efit of those whom it cbnoerns: “Citizens have aright under the provisions of the Constitution to change their rules at the expiration of their term of office, and elect those who will administer the public affairs differ ently—but no one has the right to destroy the Government itself; every 3uch act is high trea son. .In a contest like that now waging in this country, all whose feelings wishes and sympa thies are with the rebels, are traitors in their hearts ; and all who render them aid and com fort, directly or indirectly, artjraitors in their acts. All who are not for the Government are against it. Ik inis great struggle for national existence there can be bdt two par ties, TREE MEN ANUTRAITOES —THERE CAN BE NO neutrals. Every-titan receiving the protection of the Government is bound, to render it his warmest support, whether heapprotes or disap proves of its administration. The charge from which the above has been , condensed, is creating a most profound sensa tion throughout the Commonwealth, as being a timely, fearless, lucid and just exposition of tho duty we owe to the Government. Men of all parties who are loyal, conlmend this charge as being among the ables that has ever emana ted from the bench of Pennsylvania.—Harris burg Telegraph. On Fatting Down the Rebellion, In his recent speech at the great Anniversary meeting at Madison Square,-New York, John Van Buren said: “ I do not'believe that simply belonging to the democratic party, will war that has been going on these two years. Since I be longed to the parly, Jeff. Davis claimed to be a member, so did Mason and .Slidell. Ido not see that that ends the war.’ What would be thought of the passengers of a ahip, who, in a dreadful gale, found that the vessel had sprung a leak, and who would say to the others, “ Find out where the leak is; stop it at all hazards; ifrour masts are all carried away, rig a jury mast-; if you can’t save the ship, save the pas sengers ; construct a raft; be sure and save : your livetfTand as for the rest, toe will sit hei't and grumble; we belong to the Democratic; party.” .[Laughter.] If the ship had to ho lightened to he saved it is easy to see what part of the cargo ought to have.been-thrown over board. [Applause and laughter.] There is but one thing to do—that is, to fight- DitTanybody ever hear that when people moke war upon you', you are to supplicate for peace ? Why, if we are conquered, of course we must sue for peace ; but. if we are not con quered, then all we have to do is to fight. Sup pose a man came up to you, and took you by ttje throat, would you call upon your friends to see upon what terms he would settle ?- [Laugh ter.] I know of no way except to defend your self by assailing him in his mosLvulnerable part.
