PEACE
It is not often in this age that enlightened
nations go to war from a love of disorder and
bloodshed; probably they .never do. But war,,
and its attendant horrors, may become neces
sary to avert disgrace and dishonor, as violence
is sometimes the only means of avoiding last
ing disgrace or infamy. War Is sometimes
forced upon a nation, as a quarrel is sometimes
forced upon an individual. The present war
is a case in_ point. The South virtually refused
all amicable accommodation when it, State by
State, resolved itself out of the- Union. The
act of secession was defiance of Constitutional
authority and obligation, and such defiance ia
rebellion, and rebellion means wat. After this
the seizure of public property, the bombard
ment of forts, and other measures of actual
war, were natural, if not inevitable consequen
ces. So, the alternatives of war, or destruction
as a nation, were presented for the choice of
the Government.
Now let us look at the case as it then stood;
The Government of the United States is the
will of the people. That cannot be successful
ly controverted. The choice of the alternatives
just alluded to, then, lay with the people to
make. That follows, of coarse. Now, which
alternative did the popular voice select^—war,
or submission ? That is tbs question.
Every intelligent man in the country—every
lad of a dozen summers—knows that the de
mand for resistance, resistance even to subju
gation, was universally and overwhelmingly
pressed upon Mr. Lincoln by the people of the
loyal States. As an evidence of tho demand
for vigorous-resistanoe being almost universal,
we cite attention to the following facts of rec
ord :
,Ist, —That at a grand Union War Mass Mee
ting held in Union Square, New York, soon af
ter the attack on Sumter, Fernando Wood, Hi
ram Ketohum, and other now notorious “sub
mission-peace” advocates, addressed the peo
ple, declaring in the strongest terms, that tho
rebels must be put down at any and every cost
of blood and treasure ; at the same timeurging
the accumulation of a vast army for that pur
pose. And the assembled masses-rent the air
with their “ Amens.” And— . -
■ 2d, —The leading opponents of the war, right
here in Tioga county, aa the records show,
were, almost without exception, prominent ad
vocates of a vigorous prosecution of the war
at that time, and for months subsequent. We
appeal to the people of the county if this fact
can be gainsaid.
Then, how stands/he case ? Just here;
The declaration of'a vigorous war against
the rebels teas the spontaneous, universal, and
irresistible act of the people of ike north, with
out distinction of party. That is the precise
state of the case; it will not be successfully
denied.
But to-day we have a peace-and-snbmissiou
‘party in the north, led by such men as Fernan
do Wood, Tallandighom, and that sort. Why
is it?
Perhaps we can shed some light upon that
matter. Military men Bay that there ie atway
more or less straggling on a march; an increase
of stragglers on a march with prospect of an
encounter with the enemy ; and a more consid
erable increase of that sort of material on a
forced march with battle certain.
Well, that is true of all strife. These peace
submission men, who were bo bloodthirsty in
the beginning, are jnst *' stragglers”—nothing
more.* Such men as Wood and Cox fell out
fint, and lay dong the trail of the grand amy
rffi t atoe .
of patriots." They coip'plamed of some alight
colic. Then, as the footsore legions neared the
enemy, and sharp work was required, others
straggled away, but of the fight. At a later
"hour, when greater dangers threatened, and
-greater saorifioes-were'required,"Others, ’ and of
them, some who had nntil then stood- up man
fully for the right at all hazards, slunk away
—jpl pplSgTEetf purses and‘trylng”to~dodg6”tEe"
’bugbear,"Taxation. We suppose a few more
'of'the'same"EbrVwill'“ faint by the Way," and’
.estimate the value of- the government at so
, many dimes and pence, be the same mare --or
.less. ’ That is inevitable,
i Bat the “ promise” is not to such men. It
is ip those “ who remain faithful unto the end”
—onto those who are patriots from the force of
principle, and not blind passion,—it is to snob
as these, and to such only, that the crown of
reward is awarded. Faint hearts win nothing
but disappointment and smarting defeat. .
The true in the. very nature of-the
case, is first and foremost in the desire for
peace. But he is incapable of asking for a
peace in any degree allied to dishonor. The
declaration of war for the suppression of the
rebellion was the free, nntrammeled aot of the
people of the North, with Httle -distinction of
party. They have no option save to prosecute
it to the end of permanent peace. \
If there be any man so narrowband penuri
ous as to begrudge his taxes for support of the
Government, let him stand with the declared
enemies of the Government, without “if” or
“ but.” I/Ct tbe.world know who is for, and
who is against,- the Government in the midst
of its great trial. “Sunshine patriots and
summer soldiers” are not equal to this emerg
ency. They will do for piping times of peace.
Men who are willing to befriend their country
when it does not need their friendship, and fall
away from her support in her time of trouble
and distress, cannot expect aught from poster
ity but contempt, and'execration. Cowards
die many times, says Shakspoare. The same
is true of-the timid and meqp. But trueheart
ed men die but once, and like their lives their
deaths are glorious.
Reader, with which of these classes do yon'
stand?
Keeel papers, like The World, in giving the,
news of the day, omit everything that can by
dissemination give aid and comfort to the gov
ernment. On the other hand, they publish in
correct statements of the casualties of war and
of the official action of the Administration.
Such papers constantly assert, either hy di
rection-or indirection, that Mr. Lincoln has re
fused, peremptorily, to entertain, propositions'
looking toward peace', from the rebel govern
ment. These rebel sheets claim that the prop
ositions from George Saunders .and Thompson,
submitted through Horace Greeley from the
Canada side of Niagara Falls, some weeks ago,
was a concession on the part of the rebel au
thorities. To tbs proposition Mr. Lincoln re
plied by proclamation, as follows*.
To whom it may.concern: Any proposition
which embraces the restoration of peace, the
integrity of the whole Union, and the abandon
ment of slavery, and which comes hy and with
an authority that can control the armies now
at war with the United States, will be received
and considered by the executive government of
the United States, and will be met by liberal
terms on substantial and collateral points; and
the bearer or bearers thereof .shall. have safe
conduct both ways. Abraham Lincoln.
’ On receipt of this laconic reply, the rebel
emissaries went into a great rage and wrote a
two-colnmn reply fall of indignation. But
they were obliged to acknowledge that they
were not authorized by Jefferson 'Davis to treat
with the Government of the United States; and
so this not very canning attempt by the rebels
to make capital for their allies in the Conven
tion to be-held at Chicago on the 29th-of this
month, came to grief.
hfotr, the fact is, that the rebel authorities
have never at any time, submitted any propo
sitions looking to peace, to the Government of,
the United States. And what is more expres
sive, Jefferson Davis and his fellow-traitors
will never accept any peace not based on the
fall and free recognition of the " Confederacy."
The men who control the World, and Us like,
are now, as always, most , unscrupulous liars.
Jeff. Davis, by his next friends, the Cop
perhead-American Knights, and Knights of
the Golden Circle, will meet in Convention at
Chicago on the 29th instant. The intention of
the leaders is declared to be, the nomination of
a candidate for the Presidency.
But who the happy man is to be is difficult
to say. • The private and particular friends of
Jefferson D., object to McClellan on the ground
that he has imbrued bis hands (?) in Southern
blood; also, that he is timid, vacillating, and
“no great shakes of a man anyhow." The
“ Koneuvvativ* 1 portion of that party object to
an otter peace man, like Vallandigham, and
| would like the nomination of McClellan, or
some other harmless individual.
But tha party will unite’on some most- avail
able man—some man.wbo is limber in the back,
not formidable, in .brain, and capable of being
moulded Into any form to suit the occasion.
If they will be a3vised~by a disinterested
person, we would suggest that they be strait
forward for once, and nominate the Honorable
Jefferson Davis. ■
That's what you mean, gentlemen; and why
not be honest t Just as an experiment. :

WAR NBWS.
Military movements of great importance
have takeh place since our last iasne. The in
vasion of Maryland and’Fennsylvania has been
turned back, and Gen. Averill overtook Mc-
Causland at Moorfleld, Ya.-, and utterly anni
hilated bis forces, taking 500 prisoners.and
all bis artillery. McCausland himself barely
escaped to the mountains. Our loss was but
7 men".
But the most stirring news is from Mobile,
and by way of the rebel papers. They report
that Admiral Farragut, with IT vessels, passed
the forts on the. sth inst., and bad possession,
of the Bay. He captured the rebel flag-ship,
th^ formidable iron-clad Tennessee, said to he
the-most powerful iron-clad afloat. The rebel
’ Admiral, Buchanan was captured * with her.
An iron-clad ram, Selma, seven guns, was also
destroyed, with several - other vessels, called
“ cotton-dads." The same -evening the rebels
evacuated and bTew op Fort Powell, and on
the Bth inst., Fort Gaines, one of the most
formidable forts in thislcountry, surrendered,
with its entire garrisonj to our forces. The
fort was casemated, mounted CO guns, and wae
provisioned for six months. The rebel papers
are raving abent the surrender.
A terrible explosion-occurred at City .Paint
on the 9th inst-.,-causing great loss of life and
property. An amunition barge blew up, de-.
atroying a-great.amount of Government prop
erty. . About thirty poldiera and laborers ware
kilted and 70 or 80 wounded. The havoc was
fearful.
Gen. Stoneman’a raid was an entire success,
only marred by his capture. Portion's of his
command are constantly coming in, the larger
portion having cut their way out of the enemy’s
clntcbes.
A PORTRAIT.
The Hon. John Cessna, of Bedford, Pa.,
long and widely known as a leading Democrat,
in a recent speech described a kind of people
whom he had observed in Southern Pennsyl
vania. We print the description in order that
onr readers may jndge ‘whether any snBh peo
ple inhabit their respective neighborhoods. We
certainly have seen such.. Hear Mr. Cessna;
“ There are unfortunately those among ns
who cannot disease the question a single mo
ment without showing that they are at heart
foes of the Government and enemies of their
race. The people soon learn to finQ out and
know these map. Human skill and ingenuity
and nil of traitor’s cunning cannot long suc
ceed in concealing their real sentiments. They
hang back or skulk away from our public gath
erings on our national '■ holidays; they dispar
age Union officers and soldiers and eulogize
the Rebels. All Union victories are insignifi
cant —of little account; rebel victories are of
incalculable value and importance. Good news
is never credited—bad news is often origina
ted, believed, and circulated long before verifi
ed. Taxes are obnoxious and oppressive; drafts
are unconstitutional - and odions; war is bloody
and desolating, and the nation ought at once
to stop it. For neafly four years everything
bos been wrong; nothing excellent, nothing
even praiseworthy or passable has ever been
done by their 'government—only mistakes,
wrongs, wicked acts of tyranny, ap
peals are made to the' people to arise in their
might and prevent the establishment of a
military despotism.' During all this time, they
have never been known to utter a word of de
nunciation against the Rebellion, or see an
improper- act south of the Rebel lines. These
are the unmistakable ear-marks of the traitor.
He may remonstrate; he may write down be
neath the picture in large letters .the word
“ Patriot," he may, in very noisy and earnest
words, insist that he ie a “ sound Democrat,"
and that every man of bis party who sustains
the war is an '‘Abolitionist." Yet after all
he is neither a patriot nor a good Democrat.
Yon may turn him upside down and inside ont,
and cleanse and wash him With all the pure
waters of America, and you can make noth
ing out of him but a poor, miserable traitor—.
just such a one os Gen. Jackson would have
strung up for treason, in his day, and looked
for the authority afterward I" ,

Gen. Grant and the Presidency.— ln com
menting upon the possibility of General Grant,
in a certain oontigency, accepting the nomin
ation for the Presidency, The Milwaukee Senti
nel says: j
"We know that Gen. Grant Jias perempto
rily refused, in advance, any offer of the Pres •
idency. He replied to those who were seeking
to learn bis views on the subject, that, while
the war lasted, no earthly inducement could
take him voluntarily from his presnt position,
and that even should the war come to a speedy
conclusion be would be the moat ungrateful of
men to rnn against Mr. Lincoln. This declar
ation comes to us through the most trustwor
thy sources, and affords to us conclusive proof

■ The Rebel Prisoners at Elmira. —Accounts
differ as to the cause, of the .trouble with the
rsbfLprisoners at Elmira. A rebel was shot,
as alleged, but was not mortally injured, and’
it seems that the negro guardsman warned
the prisoner before he fired. There was much
excitement, among the rebels and also among
the inhabitants of Elmira, and, as a precau
tion, the 54th Regiment was ordered on duty.
These troops were in addition to the regular
guard. There will probably be no difficulty,
though the prisoners are numerous, and none
of them are well disposed towards their keep- ]
era.
—A few days ago a woman arrived in Chi
cago, having begged her way from the interior
of Georgia, with four children, in the hope of
seeing her husband, who I was confined as a
prisoner at Camp Dongles) and persuade him
to take the oath of allegiance. She arrived
only to find his name on the list of those who
died in camp.

Special Advantages of this Loan.

rate of interest than any other, and the dent nevn'tj.
Any Savings Hank which pays its depositors in C. S.

thing better, for its own assets arc either in govern
ment securities or in notes or bonds payable in gov.

ments to lendexe aa those issued by-the-government.
In all other formtof indebtedness, the faith or ability
of private parties, or stock companies, or separate
communities, only, is pledged for payment, while the
whole property of the country is held to secure the

CTHESII PILdLS, so celebrated many
A Teats ago in Paris for the relief of female
irregularities, and afterward so notorious for
their criminal employment in the practice of
abortion, are now offered for sale for the first
time in America. They have been kept in
comparative obscurity from the fact that' the
originator, Dr. Yelpau, is a physician in Paris
of great wealth and strict conscientious prin
ciples, and has withheld them from general
use, lest they should he employed for unlawful
purposes. In overcoming Female Obstructions,
Falling of the Womb, Whites, Green Sick
ness, .Suppression, Retention, or Immoderate
Flow of the Monthly Discharges, they seem
to be truly omnipotent, bursting open the
flood-gates from whatever cause may have
stopped them; but they are offered to the pub
lic only for legitimate uses, and all agents are
forbidden to sell them when it is understood
that the object is unlawful. Married ladies
should never take them when there is any
reason to believe themselves pregnant, fot
they .will be sure to produce a miscarriage.
These pills are entirely safe under ail dt"
cnmstances, being composed entirely of sub
itances from the vegetable kingdom.
Each box has the coat of arms for the City
of Paris stamped on the box, with the word*
“ Trade Mark” in French, to counterfeit which
is a misdemeanor, and all persons will be dealt
with according to law.
