WEDNESDAY,
Republican Co. Convention, Aug. 28th.
Election of Delegatee, August 22tL
Hon. John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky,
died at his residencs in that State ou Sunday
last, aged 77 years. Mr. Crittenden was one
of the landmarks of the political ago of the re
public; and perished nobly pleading the cause
of law and order.
Vallandigham, the “ glorious martyr,”
finds the road to gubernatorial honors a hard
road to travel. The German Democratic, as
well as several native papers, have taken down
Vallandigham's name and put up Brough’s,
the candidate of the Union War party. Val.
can’t succeed.
When Marshal Kane, of Baltimore,- was ar
rested and lodged in Fort Lafayette, the Cop
perhead papers and orators put up a terrible
cry against the tyranny of Mr. Lincoln. He
was subsequently released on taking the oath
of allegiance, and" as soon thereafter as was
possible, departed fof rebeidom, where be now
flourishes as a brigadier generaL
We commend' Mr. Lincoln’s reply to .the
Yallandigham Committee to the careful peru
saPof our patrons. The endorsement, ha In
vites them to give to certain pledges near the
end of the letter has not yet been given, Nor
will it he; for the President, incapable of pol
itical snbterfoge, has made his propositions so
plain that there is no room for. more than one
construction; and that construction requires
the endorsers to be thoroughly loyal. A* nei
ther Vallandigham nor his apologfeers are loy
al .pen, they will not endorse the propositions.
All honor to you, Abraham Lincoln, for
the proclamation setting forth in unmistakable
English that Union soldiers, without regard to
color, will be protected from Southern barbar
ity. The President proclaims that for every
Union soldier enslaved by the rebels, a rebel
prisoner shall be put to hard labor on the Gov
ernment fortifications, and so kept until the
Union soldier shall be released ; and for every
Union prisoner of war killed by the rebels, a
rebel prisoner of war shall he shot. That’sthe
way to settle the matter. Lpt na have “Ah
eye for an eye; and a tooth for a tooth.” The
law nf Moses will apply admirably to the jbar
barian rulers of Dixie.
A DISCOURSE ON MILK-AND-WATER
*' To hesitate, to falter, to neglect to put ones
self unequivocally upon the record, in this
time, is to be ignored by posterity and lost to
the future.
If there be a man in tbia community, or any
other,.-who thinks to avoid a fair ahd square,
and outspoken declaration for the Government,
j yet come in in the boor of success to fling np
' his cap and hurrah for “ our Sid*,"—tot him
| be undeceived ; eleventh-hour patriofs-wilhnot
be recognized in the great national day of judg
ment. The ba'tll£searifes VeterafiH krill ask;
“ Who are rdn f and tnAaar did you stand in
“.the dark days ?’/.
' j? Young man, the coming generation will ask
for your record. I twill .require your record to
be engraved upon your life, in good, substan
tial, unequivocal English ; ahd if it-be* Dot so
found, that.generation will makeyou feel that
for you it were better had you never lived at
all. • ■
The menses with which you excuse yourself
to yourself; the subterfuges behind which ypu
retire to avoid an accusing conscience; the ar
guments you tender outraged common..sense ;
—all these excuses, subterfuges, and weak
sophisms, will come back to plague and humil
iate you in that day. You may deceive your
self ; but' you cannot deceive a calmly discern
ing and inexorable posterity.
Look into history; Who has enviable dis
tinction and grateful remembrance in its page ?
Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Hancock, Otis,
Henry, Warren, and a noble host whose names
are subscribed to the Declaration, . There, too,
is the name of Benedict Arnold.. But history
remembers him only to-damn* ,
It to.be h patriot then.' "Men
declared their love orf country confronted by
tbe gallows. Still; theydeelsred it.
Nowadays it is different.' ’ No Extraordinary

t j£ attaches te profession orpractice of loyal
ty.; Bather, honor, fellowship, respect, and
the approval of conscience. Then, why are'we.
brougbtla daily contact with traitors ?,, r.
I Aa 'tr? Jl ask why we pro daily brooght.in
contact with' knaves, Hart, licentious men, and
respectable villains! There are “fault*” in
the clearest coal-basin; why should we wonder
at the recurrence of ugly dykes in political and
social strata 7
A man being free to choose, if be elect theft,
■knavery, licentiousness, or treason? a» hie vocv,
tion, it is because‘he is depraved by-nature and
education, and will net put forth an effort to
practice virtue. This fully accounts for the:
prssence of disloyal men in every community.
But community forgets one thing—that dis
loyalty is the highest crime known to -Jaw, di
vine.or human, A traitor may not steal your
purse,’or murder the passing traveler, or set a
neighbor’s 'bouse On fire, ordinarily; biit be
.only waits an occasion to do eyeryjoae of .these
crimes. Bemember, the New York mob: It
cheered for Jeff. Davie, cursed JUnoolp, Backed
private houses and burned tbenh assassinated
nnofftmding’ipen, and’ reveled-jn. flef'
hind this mob stood politicians, no t a
or mors abandoned, or cowardly, than such as
.wef.elt.nfeet'.W.efy-day,^ ift/winx the’hell-troth
Of riot and rampant crime, and inciting to out
rages more Jerrible. ■' ■' e
' Pray, most skillful hairsplitter, which. of
these was most vile, the mob, or its concealed
leaders 7
Young man, see to it that you keep'not com
pany Aith men who hare one word of .apology
for mob violence, or resistance to law in this
time of trouble. Better herd with thieves and
strike bands with assassins.
(And bear in mind that a man had better
go to market with a stone than with milk-and
water, when a coming generation is to purchase.
Posterity will never recognize tbe plea of
“ Conservatism” in this contest. It is a skulk
ing-plsce for the timid and unprincipled. The
conservative man, in this time, is tbe shirking,
feeble-sealed man; the man who wants the re
bellion put down a little, then up a little; then
put down a little more, and put up again ; he
i* a man who doesn’t like jars and shocks ; he
wants the rebellion put down gracefully, so as
not to shock the ” Confederacy.”
Friend,'that man-yonder—he who is endeav
oring to carry water on both shoulders ; and
that one yonder, who pats tbe devil oa the back
with one hand; and stretches the other toward
Heaven—he is the Conservative Man.
Right is Right; Wrong is Wrong; What
reputable man will hold that there can be two
equally just, jet Conflicting, opinions os re
spects the criminality of assassination? Not
one.
No more can there be imj material difference
of opinion as respects the villainy of the man
who shows, his dialovalty by magnifying disas
ters to our arms, howling about the arrest of
Vallandigham, denouncing the draft os. uncon
stitutional, Lincoln as a tyrant. Such fel
lows are traitors.
The secret of Copperbeadism is Ibis:—Un
less the i ear can he prolonged beyondihe'tCrm of
the present Administration, Copperhead Democ
racy ijs a “ dead cock in the pit." The knavery
of the Southern using of the Democracy precipi
tated the war, and the knavery of Copperheads
has prolonged it a full year.
That’s what’s tbs matter!
Tbb Copperhead fraternity will bo rejoiced
to know that Louis Napoleon has’ conquered
Mexico, and that an Austrian prince is to be
its emperor. Jeff Paris is negociating with
European despots for a king-to rule over Cot
tondom. Copperheads sympathize withTJavis,
and why mot with a movement which wipes out
the Mexican Republic?

'.S Caw sear JAckson, Miss. I
July 14th, 1863.. /
Bear Father : ' I wrote you on the sth inst,,
givipgyou anaccountof our'doings op to that
time; and as I have a few leisure momenta I
will write you again, and give yon an account
of out adventures up to this date. Soon after
I wrote you, we moved out camp about one
mile nearer the Big Black, remained nll night,
and at four o’clock on the afternoon of the 6th:
moved downto the bank of the -River and biv
ouacked for the night. There was considerable
skirmishing.at this point on the sth. , The Ctfa
lowa lost about twenty men killed and wounded.
I ■ -
The bridge was.,completed about noon, on.
tbo 7th, and the. troops commenced to- cross
immediately. We: laid on the bank of -the
Hirer halfanhour after crossing, and. then
started pB Ourmarch lowatds Jackson. About
dusk il jjommanced to rain ondblow, but we
continued on eiir way. At ten o'clock the
and wind had increased so muob ; and the
roads were so 'bad- that we eooid not go any
farther, so we bad to file off into a field and
encamp.. We soon bad rousing fires, and cof
fee oVer them, and-'at eleven o'clock we laid
down withno covet hutont gum blankets; and
part of the boys bad nbthing bat one -piece of
tefif. Soon after we laid dovjn. it commenced
raining, hot wb were all'so tired-that we never
slept better, in our lives. We remained in this
camp until half past’three on the afternoon of
tbe Bth, when we started, but did not go more
than half a mHejhefore we halted, - for the 2d
Division and the Corps supply trains topass
us; and as they did not allget by .that night,
we laid by. tbo side of tbe r road all night, and
early in the morning the 45th‘ ; puIIed up stakes
and started. Marched all day, and as we were
rear guard of the Oth Army. Cftrps, did not get
into camp until midnight. At daylight in the
morning we drew throe days rations, left our
knapsacks in charge of one or two sick men,
and storied ahont noon. We came upon the
enemy about three miles from Jackson. Tbe
45th Penna. and 79tb New York regiments
were deployed out in an open cornfield, in front
of the Ist Division. About two o’clock the
word ran along tbe skirmish line “forward,”
We had not advanced more than forty rods
before we were fired upon by some Rebel Cav
alry in front of ns; we returned the fire and
kept oa to. the railroad without any one being
hurt. When we got there we could not find
any rebels, they having made themselves scarce
as soon ns they fired. Wo kept advancing and
soon tbe right of our Regiment reached the In
sane Asylum.—a splendid building, with two
or -three hundred lunatics confined in it. Co.
A. captured one prisoner here. .The 45th
about this time, broke off from tbe 70tb Regt.
and kept on through the woods nntil about
nine in the evening, when we halted directly in
front of the enemy, within rifio range. A
part of the Regiment was deployed out as skir
mishers, and the rest held (n reserve, part of
the men being allowed to sleep. At early day
light on die morning of tbe lltb we deployed
and started, but bad not got over fifteen rods
before we were fired upon by the enemy in.tbeir
Rifle, pit* 1 . We kept on under heavy fire a
short distance to the. top of a ridge where we
halted and began to return tbe compliment in
tbe shape of a few minies. We were here ex
posed to a severe cross fire for a short time, but
the sth Michigan, one of Kearney’s old regi
ments, deployed out on our left and put a stop
to it. Wo i continued in this position until
about ten"o’clock in the forenoon, whefi tbe
word ran along thg. line to “ forward double
quick.”- The whole line of skirmishers started
forward "on a dead run under a heavy fire. •
We kept forward until we.came to a slight
rise of ground affording us shelter, within a few
rods of their rifle pits, where we baited and
commenced “ parching,” as the boys call it.
Weremained here until our ammunition was
nearly gone, when we were relieved by a part
of the 36tb Mass. We then fell' back to the
woods behind our first position. , *
I am sorry to announce thqt Corporal James
Navle of Co. C. was shot through the neck and
shoulder end instantly killed; end as our act
ing orderly Sergt. Edwin B. Garvey, ran for
ward to help him off, be was severely wounded
in the right knee. The ball went in r on the left
side of (be leg below tbe knee, passed through
the under side of the knee, and came out about
four inches above on the right side of tbe leg.
Capt. William Chase was struck in the right
shoulder by a minie ball; the ball .struck his
sardine box and tore it into twenty pieces. Had
it not beeh for this he would havp been severely
wounded, bis shoulder was considerably braised
as it was. Frank Stratton of Co.' H. from Hol
lidaytown was shot through the bead. Foster

say, but it wu not quite ao bafla* that. Let
it suffice to say that, for on*, I mover wish id
.get so hungry again.- In.the 33 day* since we
left Fairfax Station we hare marched 32 days,
at an average of 12 miles a day. Our biggest
day’s marchlwee 2fl miles. We marched 20
miles yesterday, with nothing to eat but a little
piece of pork, without salt, toasted on a stick
before the fire.. We boys pig the night
before, or we should have had nothing.. Thank
fortune, I am in good bealtb,'e2se I would hare
been, under the sod.
•“I haven't seen,a newspaper for nearly two
weeks, and don't know what’s going on in the
civilised portion of the United States. We got
rations to-day, apd J have eaten enough, to .as
tonish you!., We shall march to-night or in the
morning.” I
From Captain Cole’s Company.
In Camp hbab Loudon; Pa., 1
1 , July 28, 1863. )
Fbiind Cobb Since last writing, we have
had more marching to do. Early Monday
morning we received order* to pack op oar
“ duds” and march with; three days' rations,
ft waatheinquiryof alt—" Where to!” Some
thought welvereWthe, by many, long-wished
for march to Uarrisburg.tobtmwtarad out of
tbe service, in accordance with Gov. Curtin's
speech to our (35 th) regiment at Qreeneastle,
in which he assured.os that he would send ns
to our homes as soon as the people down here
were satisfied that there was no more danger
of a rebel raid. After marching five miles it
leaked out that we were going to London, 14
miles from Qreeneastle.
At two o’clock [we halted for dinner, the or
der giving ns much satisfaction. Seven miles
through tbe mud and rain rendered o* as tired
and hungry a set of fellows as rain ever fell
upon. Our Colonel gave ns an hour to eat and
get ready to go on. Shortly new* came that a
force of 2500 rebels was approaching; but it
turned out to be a canard set afoot by the tele
graph operator at McConnelsburg, who, I lear
ed to-day, while in that town, has been arrest
ed and sent to Harrisburg.
An unfortunate occurrence happened in town
to-day. Two men from Philadelphia were rid
ing along in a carriage, when they were stop
ped by a citizen Jiving about a mile from town,
who informed them that they would have to
get passes, and so insulted them in many ways
that they had a squad of cavalry sent to arrest
him. He mounted a horse, and when the cav
alry came up, he seized the sergeant's -saber
and threatened to kill him. He then rode off,
and the guard pursued. They shortly over
took him, and after a brief encounter in which
he got half-a-dozen saber cuts about the head,
took him into custody. His recovery is doubt
ful. He was rather under the influence of liq
uor at the time.
The night we arrived here we encamped in a
field. Some put up their tents, while otfasrs,
myself among, them, preferred to sleep in the
open air. ; In the morning we eeieeted a better
camping-ground, half a mile dietant. Hereto
fore we have been camped in the open field.
We have now a shady and delightful spot.
To-night a package of .Agitators arrived in
camp, and the man who brought them sang
out—“ Who wants ’talers?” As we had had
no sight of that delightful vegetable since we
left Tioga, we ‘all concluded to draw a few.
When the jofcacama out there was a' rush for
the papers, -and the news was devoured greed
ily. .The 1 Agitator is more sought after’than
any other paper that comes into camp. <■
Our Regiment was Nery lucky, in getting
Hugh Young for Quartermaster. He is bound
that the Tioga county boys shall net starve.
