WSX.X.SBOSOUGB, PEOTTAs WEDNESDAY, With the passing away of such chiefs as Si las Wright, Jackson, Benton, and Marcus Mor ton, Democracy degenerated into demagogue isnt. The so-called Democratic party of to day. cannot point to a single leading roan in its ranks, who has not; long since, read and written hie title clear to the heritage of demagogueism. The old' and soul-stirring war cry of the Demo cracy is never beard now. The old watchwords, which could create a soul under the ribs of po litical indifference, are now obsolete with that miserable faction, and are only beard from the lips of the new democracy which has arisen from the wreck and ruin of the old. V * The shifts and subterfuges to which these fac tious leaders resort, in the midst, of a stupen dous struggle for national existence, to perpet uate their name and recover the'right to plun der the treasuiV, are born of a most lamenta ble state of mental and moral collapse. Once, the demagogues of the country entered into a contest with their opponents, with a show of magnanimity and breadth of view. In these times they do not even care to throw a disguise over their repulsive nakedness; but stand up in and walk in the broad day, re vealed as heartless, shameless demagogues, with ho-impulses toward unselfish ends, and no atiibitions which on their facp (|o not stiimp their slaves as the'least patriotic and, noble of all the men who have helped to make the past history of the country. ’ The country knows pretty well in how much the soldier is indebted to.these men for his pri vileges and his pay. It is' pretty well known that these political trimmers have all along ad vocated, and in some cases accomplished the disfrancbisenicht of the soldier. It is known, too, that these local demagogues have sturdily opposed the giving of bounties to volunteers; if. not in pno way, then in some other. If they did not protest in so many words, (hey refused to come forward and help to bear the burden by opening their purses. But now all is changed —and not aj; all changed. Not long ago, a Mr. Dawson, of the House of Representatives, pro posed to pay the soldiers and seamen in gold, -or its-equivalent. Only a few days ago, a Mr. Hendricks, of the United Statesj Senate, pro posed to pay the soldiers fifty percent, in addi tion to their present wages. On their face, these propositions seem /air to the soldier.— Buf'wben we look hack to their record, and the record of the party with which they act, the fairness disappears, and the arts of the dema gogue dime out in brilliant relief. These men have all along been predicting bankruptcy and financial ruin, because of the immense expenditure if the Government. They are always prating about ruin, yet now propose to increase the necessary expenses of the irmy more than one hundred millions of dollars per annum. They overlook the fact that the soldier receives his food and clothes from the Govern ment, and that his wages are clear profit—or ought to he clear pn fit very nearly. They forget, too, that to increase the expenses $lOO,- 000,000 per annum, is to increase the inflation of.the cunenoy that much; and against this inflation they are always prating. We said— -1 “ they forget” ; they d<> not forget; they only pretend to feel unusually sympathetic toward the men whom they have sought to disfranchise, just now, fur the effect it may have upon the coming campaign. Now. the raising of the pay of the soldier from $8 to $l3 per month, was sturdily opposed by these very demagogues. Why. are they now so full of generosity toward the ■ soldier ? As we said, —because they are bidding for voles ; —nothing higher than that. Now„the pay of the soldier will be increased," wthout doubt, when the time comes for so in cre tsing our expenses! When the tax hill and the hank-hill both become laws, then .will he tluLtimo to decide -if the finances can endure an additional strai'd. First let us have the ways and means of getting funds perfected, then talk about expending an extra $100,000,- 000 per annum. .. We apprehend that nobody values the servi jees of the noble fellows in ths field less than the Copperheads. But, as before remarked, the faction is casting about for votes, and perhaps —we think it quite probable— trying to increase the danger of bankruptcy, so that their predic tions. may he fulfilled. As the men who are fighting our battles are mon of sense and intelligence, they will not be likely to mistake the chiefs of Copperheadism for their The pest is too pregnant with unconcealed enmities toward the soldiers, on the part of these apostles of bard currency.— We go in for increasing the soldiers’ pay when such increase will Hut endanger the finances; nut till then. And we know of. no soldier who would accept higher pay, if such acceptance would lead to farther financial embarrassments. : ; MAY'U, IBG4. THE BTTLINO PASSION. THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. EDITOEIAIi COEEEBEONDENCB. Washington, April 27, 1864. 1 was somewhat surprised to see in the Affi taior, of the! 20tB of April, a letter from C. L. lloyt, reflecting severely upon the Sanitary Commission! Ido not know who “ Mrs. Dr. B.” may be; but Ido believe that she has dona Mr Hoyt o great injury, by rushing his private correspondence into inexorable print. What a roan may think, speak, or write, in private, cannot justly be deemed a subject of criticism or animadversion while it remains private.— But wben it is published, with a motive to in fluence men and women in public action, it no longer can claim immunity from public criti cism. From the beginning of mundane things of wbich we have record, man has been the victim of a common infatuation ; that is to say—be has somehow laid out the road to his individual preferment and greatness through the wreck and ruin of the hopes and fortunes of bis fel low man. Men, somehow, regard the work of self-uphuilding as beginning with the pulling down of other men. They cannot rise unless somebody shall- fall. They love to step over the prostrate bodies of their fellows. I apeak of this as a fact, and not in complaint. How ever much we mky all deprecate such conduct, deprecation for thousands of years has not worked reform. But I will be a party to no such quarrel in any walk of life, Bare where, that Truth and Bight may arias and assert themselves, error aud wrong must be cloven down and trodden under foot. I believe that Good 6an only enter the gates of victory over the prostrate form of Evil.' But especially will I be no party to a quarrel between two great Charities—those forms of human love and greatness—which now overshadow this troubled-land, and almost cre ate a halo of glory about the •' horrid front of war.” How much I regret the publication of Mr. Hoyt’s letter, I will not attempt to express. For if the Sanitary Commission had done no thing else, it has given Woman opportunity to puss the barriers of a selfish and false conven tionalism, and assert herself as the most mas terly offspring of Creative Love and Wisdom. This alone would entitle the Commission to the everlasting gratitude of the race. - And now I approach argument through calm appeal and direct reason, divested of the fables of rumor, and the acidities of prejudice. I ask, then, first, —is thafield of human suffering so circumscribed that there is not room for both the Christian Commissions 7 Have woundings, and bruisings, and wrestlings with disease, flowing directly from the nature of war, become such little things, as that If one Commission lives and labors, the other must perish for lack of occupation ? • I gay, “ no.” God forbid, that in this hour of danger and trial—in this boor, when the clouds of impending oouiliot are thicker, and darker, and wear more of the gloomy linea ments of wrath than they have worn in any hour since the first shot was fired in this Strug gle—God forbid, that in such an hour, standing face to face a visible God—any patriot should so far forget himself as to stir up strife between the grandest charities the world ever saw 1 There is.jfoom for all. Then is the quar rel about a name? Will Heaven’s listening hosts value less a good deed, because it pro ceeds from Christian love, father than from the “ Christian Commission” 7 Who will enquire of the hearer of the cup of water to lips parched with fever pain,—“ are you a Jew—or Gentile, —or "do you this by command of the ‘San; tary,’or ‘Christian Commissions 7’” If any —then we have the Pharisee among us; the Pharisee, now, as ever, a whited sepulcher, a hypberite, a pretender, a mocker of God, ‘and a contemner of man through devotion to naked forme, and soulless .ceremonies. AVhilo I will not any one word in detraction of the noble Christian Commission—for It is a noble enterprise—l will soy that it is neither better nor worse for the simple adjective— " Christian.” I have learned to rega«i names as elaborations, rather than as either things or ideas. If my neighbor write his name •• John •Smith, Christian,” he wins no extraordinary regard from me. On the contrary, if (toother neighbor writes his life all over with Christian | deeds, and then signs his name simply—“ John i Jones, Jr.,” I know only my neighbor Junes, who is full of good works, and not “John Jones, Jr." So with all human organizations.) However they may style themselves, I can take notice only of what they do. “By their fruits shall ye know them.” "What has the Sanitary Commission done?' What is it doing ? AVhen I read Mr. Hoyt’s letter, 1 concluded that he had fallen asleep fif teen months ago, and tignalized his return to waking life by giving a rehash of all the stale rumors which gained some sort of currency to the discredit of .the Sanitary Commission. Certainly Mr. Hoyt did not speak of what he knew, but of what he bad heard, rather. I may, say here, as well as anywhere, that the Sanitarv! Commission is not a society for tho benefit of special cases of hardship. It is devoted to all sufferers, alike. If boxes of fruit cake and goodies are not delivered by its agents, it is be cause the said cake and goodies are not fit for sick soldiers, unless they desire to die. Such things are very good soldier-killers. The Com mission proceeds upon the correct principle that where the effort l is to care for all, the indi vidual stands the best chance to be cared for. Now, whep my old friend Mr. Hoyt , a y 6 that be “ Anotor'that thousands of sick and woun ded boys lay actually suffering for these deli cacies, because of the red tape used to get them out" of the warehouses of the Sanitary Com miseloD, I take the liberty of saying just os emphatically that he is certainly deceived. If be was told by one, or two, or a dozen wounded men, that they bad been turned off by the agents of the Commieeion, I can bring hundreds to testify that they owe their lives, under Provi dence, to the care and attention of the same agents. It is not by exceptional, individual cases of hardship, that men or organizations are condemned, or motives impeached. There must he exceptional cases ; there must be hard ships, and suffering, and misery, growing put of the circumstances of war, which no - man, and no company of men, can reach end allevi ate. Is Christianity a failure, because now, almost twenty centuries after its birth, only about one-sixth of the race have embraced it—and probably less than one-tenth’ formally subscribe to its creed 7 -The argument is ab surd in both cases. If wounded men have been refused a passage on'the boats of the Commission, I presume it was done under orders from headquarters.— Most certainly no boat would be' permitted to take men on board without passes, no matter what their condition. Were it otherwise, every boat would be a refuge for cowards and strag glers. There must be stringent orders prohib iting the leave of men without permission.— Poes it need an argument to prove so plain a proposition 7 The Sanitary Commission must obey orders... And the Christian Commission, when it has boats and other conveyances near battle fields, will find itself slightly curtailed in its liberties. It is necessary. From such ne cessities arise the very hardships alluded to by Mr. ijoyt. , I repeat, therefore, this is no time for the rule of bigotry or petty jealousy.- I regret that Mr. Hoyt’s letter was thrown out just at this time. For I say to him, and to you all, that ere a month has passed away, there will be such work for all these noble Commissions as they never before bared their hands to do. Why must we act like pigmies, wben the times call for giants ! Why must we waste our energies in frivolous disputes, when the air is thick with the presages of new desolations 1 I bipe never to be forced to recur to thia matter again. M. 11. C. WAR NEWS. s The latest news from the Potomac Army states that the Union troops who went the other day to/Madison Court House, burned the place to ashes. ■ Deserters say that Lee has 80,000 roen r dfeat the men have supplies for ten days distributed to them, and that the various rail- are bringing up troops day and night with all speed. A detachment of the 45th Kentucky, at tacked the Rebels in Brent Hill county, Ky., killed 4 and captured 1G men and 24 horses.— They then pushed forward and defeated Ever ett's command, killing two of bis officers and captaring 35 men. Advices from Camden, Ark., say that Gen. Steele’s army is there. General Thayer joined Gen. Steele at Elkin’s Ferry, on the Little Mis souri river, where the Rebels were driven from a line of breasiworks commanding the river bottom. The Rebels next stood at Prairie da Anna, which was fortified. Gen. Steele flanked their position, and Gen. Price skedaddled. — Gen. Steele pursued the Rebels toward Wasfa -1 ington, and then suddenly turned and pushed for Camden. Price discovered his mistake,and started for Camden also. A race ensued, and although heavy skirmishing occurred all I the way, Steele came out victor, and entered the enemy’s fortifications unopposed. Camden ! is strongly fortified. The Rebels exhibited a ; disposition to attack Gen. Bunks in his strongly fortified position on the Red River. The Rebels continue to annoy vessels on the Mississippi. A detachment of Col. Rogers re giment stationed in Missouri, had a fight with guerrillas on the Ithh instant, killing twelve, he prisoners were taken. Missouri’s quota is said to be full, except 530, and more than that number of colored volunteers are yet to be cre dited. , A Horrible Incident.—The people of Par ker’k Cap (says (he Chattanooga Gazette) were alarmed on the 13th by a rumor that thejte was a human being in an old saltpetre cav/e near the Cup, supposed to be the same caVo recently visited by Colonel! Bingham, while on picket. The Colonel failed to explore it on account of noxious vapors issuing from the opening. Tho ladies, God bless them 1 ever ready to respond to the eulls ef humanity, hurrieijl to the rescue, but their united efforts were insufficient to extricate the sufferer. Surgeon Murks, Medical Director of the Division, and Surgeon Powers, of the artil lery, were sent for, and 'after a great deal of labor the poor fellow wbs taken from his Jiv ing tomb. He was imthediaiely recognized as John Harrison, Jr. It-is supposed that this unfortunate man was deposited in the cave about the middle of last August, by his father, who is connected with the Mining and Nitre Bu reau of the C. S. A, and that he had remained there ever since. AVhen taken out be was en tirely helpless and speechless, and although youthful was wholly .destitute of hair and teeth. He will not bo, able to tell the tale of his horrible suffering for years. How he sus tained existence in that “ dark, unfsthomed cave” for thres-quarters.of-a year, is a ques tion fur the student in physiology to answer. “ The Octoroon” in Beal Life.-{-A hand some Octoroon girl on a Mississippi planta tion was married eight years ago to It mulatto on the same plantation, and was afterwards sold to another planter, owing to her master’s pecuniary difficulties. ' The cuuplo were plain ly told-that she was intended as the new own er's mistress. Entreaties only resulted in her' husband being taken- away. Tbs wretched girl attempted suicide without success, and had no > baoce of escape,- being ultimately forced to submit to her fate. She had one child by her brutal owner. George, tbe husband, after ward escaped, and succeeded in getting to Eu rope on board an English ship. He travelled much there as a servant to families, and, a short time since, returned tu Cleveland. Mean while, on tbe capture of New Orleans, tbe wo man’s owner had fled, and she escaped to Phil adelphia, where she has since resided with a family as servant. Having gone to Cleveland a short time since on a visit, she met her lung lost husband ip the street, and both manifested the must intense joy. Thus; alter so lung and cruel a separation, they are happily mailed.— h T on OrUaru Ena Old Description of a. Copperhead. In one of tbe speeches made during the last war with Great Britain, by Felix Grundy, of Tennessee, occurs the following description of a thorough-going Copperhead, as seen at the present day i “ An individual goes over, joins tbe ranks of tbe enemy, and raises his arms against bis country ; be is clearly guilty of treason under the Constitution, tbe net being consummated. Suppose the same individual nut to go over to the enemy, but to remain in his own neighbor hood, and, by means of his influence, to dis suade ten men from enlisting; I.ask in which case has he benefited tbe enemy and injured tbe country most!” Again, he says, in answering the question, whom, then, do I accuse? “ 1 accuse him, sir, who professes to be the friend of his country, and enjoys its protection, yet proves himself by his actions to be the friend of its enemy. I accuse him who sets himself to work systematically to 'weaken tbe arm of the Government, by destroying its cre dit and dampening the ardor of its citizens ; I accuse him who has used his exertions to de feat the loan and- prevent the young men of the country from going foijfi to fight their country’s battles ; I accuse him who announces with joy the disasters of our arms, and sinks into mel ancholy .when he bears of our success. Such men I cannot consider friends to this nation.” Mr. Grundy was a model Democrat, in his day, we believe. Copperheadisro does nut seem to have been “ Democracy” then. But “ the fathers” were in darkness, Tbe gospel of the new church had not opened .its light upon them. Quids and Vullandigham Were not. How Col. BowuaS Enlisted Slaves. —Col. S. M. Bowman came to-day, a shadow of bis former self, worn nearly to death- in the vast labor of enticing every slave in Maryland of fighting age and qualifications. He has cleaned My Maryland” our, and knocked Bishop Hopkins’ divine institution into limbo. He raised, in forty days, two full regiments of as fine black troops as can be found on the earth. Ho left no slaves tit for military duty in Mary land. He overran with'his squads every coun ty fthey visited almost every farm. The boats ran up every stream until masters were obliged to hide their slaves in the woods, conceal them in boats, and confine them in jails and bouses. He opened the jails even. He has not drawn one dollar from the treasury, and his 3,000 black troops have not cost the Government five per cent, of-what the same number of white troops cost.i But in doing this work he laid aside all style, all form, and ceremony, went, into negro churches nights, Sundays, when ever hejcould got an audience, and always ad dressed them on this,-Rio. -great day of their salvatibn. ' Maxihiiian and the South. —The Rich mond Examiner makes an effort to be lively over the news that Maximilian has snubbed Slidell, remarking: ‘•Who is this Maximilian, and what is his empire, that we should court his notice, and invite him to give us so cool a cut? Our Gov ernment has existed three years ; his Empire is not yet quite horn. Ours, has stood alone— emphatically 1 and gloriously alone ; his cannot walk, and must be carried'.for many a day in the nurse’s arms. We have'sustained for three years the shock of a tempest of war so potent and terrible that one tenth part of it, directed against him, would sweep him, crown and all, back into the Atlantic ocean.” What follows is so coolly impudent that it provokes a smile : It is very much more important to the Empire to l,e recognized by the Confederacy than to the Confederacy to be recognized by the Empire. But this is fir the Emperor to find out, pot fur us to press upon lii= attention.” Burnside’s Abjiv passed through Washing ton on Monday, April 25, on its way from An napolis. The veterans of so many bard fought battles were hailed all along their route with shouts of welcome. Tbe Senate look a re -ess to enjoy the sight, oml President Lincoln, General Burnside, Govenor Curtin and others, reviewed the column from the balcony of AVil lard’s Hotel. Their regimental colors, rid dled and torn by rebel bullets at Roanoke, Ce dar Mountain, -Frcdricksburg, South Mountain, Antietam, and other hard-fought battles, atte-t cd the fiery ordeal through which this corps had prssed. Not the least interesting specta cle was that of a -negro brigade which accum-, panied the column—about five thousand strung —well drilled formidable soldiers, whose mus kets will create havoc in the rebel ranks before long. Grant and Lee —The Southern, ns well as the Northern tebels, are fond of shaking their heads in view of Lieutenant General Grant’s approaching campaign in Virginia, with the remark that though Grant has heretofore been successful in heating the rebel Generals, he has never yet encountered General Lee. That is true enough. But.do these people ever think that, if it be true that Grant has never fought Lee, it is equally true that Lee has never met Grant? ,! Remember Fort Pillow !—After the British had brutally maasaued the little garrison at Fort Griswold ; (Conn.) during the revolutionary war, the American soldiers determined to avenge that outrage. AVhen they stormed Strong point, tly> cry was: “Remember Fort Griswold I” and many a British soldier died that day a vicarious sacrifice fur the murder uus acts of their brethren. —In the Union Ar my the cry nmv is: “Remember Fort Pil low!” And dearly will the rebels pay lor the dastardly acts of ljurrest and bis men.
