John A.: Magee!
This man was elected from Perry' .county to
the last Ltglelature by the aid of Republicans,
Who were gulled into the belief that he - was a
Union Democrat, and would - support the gov-
ernment; bet" he had acsrcely taken his seat
when it was discovered thlt he had deceived
his constituents and was nothing,] than
regular copperhead. In addition this; lie
was so frequently nufit to-occUpV his seat that
this John A. Magee was really unknown'to one
halhof , fellow membeni. We, therefore;
notice only such men with pity
. and sorrow.
If they act meanly it is generslly attributed
to the effects of bad whisky or lager.—
Men .accustomed to strong drink generally
lose 'their memories, and in order to hide their
shortcomings in this world, a lie answers' thent
often much better than the truth, and such is
the case with Joha A. Mmes. He knows that
he utters a wilful andrurdicions falsehood when
he asserts that hislcicurnents and letters were
detained in the Harrisburg postofftoe. He
knows that he utters a wilful 'lie when he styles :
the Postmaster a Hessian, and if he had been
sober enough to read the TED:GRAPH and Patriot
and Union in January last, when he'was in Har
risburg, he would have learned what became of
our suit instituted against Barrett & itacDowell.
. ,
His own neighbors who were witnesses can
tell him, that we were only Induced not to press
therm men to a conviction, sentence and impris
onment which they could not have escaPed, at
the most earnest solicitalion of their personal
friends; that they aCklioidedgid themselves as
libellers in their own paper, paid all the cost
and published the following article, ignoring
all the charges made against the Poshnas;er.
As the memory of this Magee has .become so
defective, we republish it for his especial bene
fit, hoping that it may reach him when sober.
The denial reads:
TO THE T'OBLIO
Dutlng the partnership of the undersignedin
the publication of the Patriot and Union, certain
articles appeared in the local columns of said
paper, charging official mismanagement in the
postoffice at - Herrizbtrit. : 'The articles alluded
to were written , by the then local editor of the
Patriot and Union. We have examined the facts
In the case referred to . in said articles, and are
satisfied thit 4hey do not in the least warrant
any charge official conduct of Mr:
Bergner or any pelson. connectedwith the post
office.
We make this statement in.'order that.any
injurious impreision prejudicial to Mr. Bergner
as an officer of the Government, or to any of
the employees-hi said- office, may be removed ,
from the minds of ; the community so far as we
are. concerned. . • 0 BA.BRETT, •

How could any humatie man ask a conviction
In a court of justice after a deblaration• of that
kind was placed on the records of the onurtl
was all that we desired;: and: nothing short:of
this will save John'A; Mageofrom a -trial snit
conviction in a : Dauphin, county court.
We have always pity fora rem' who is so
much a slave to Strong drink when he injures
none bat himself sada respecfahle family; but
Wheir-he labors to . 'injure the private and
'public character of men who have always ex
pressed friendahip for him and thns attempts to
hide 'the disgrace which a drunkard brings
upon himself; he forfeits all claim to that
friendship, and we shall not hesitate to expose
him and his dastardly -doings even if he was
once a member of the Legislature, elected by a
majority of seven votes.

The Soldier at Home
The return of the nine months' men, and
their mingling once more with their fellow citi
zens, is destined to have a great effect upon
public opinion, not only so far as reg tr . & the
object of the war, but to that greater length
which will change what was heretofore a pre
judice in reference to its prosecution even to the
end of the eternal obliteration of the influence
which first provoked the conflict. The nine
months' men will go home, such of them as
were prisoners in Richmond, prepared to inform
their friends and neighbors that the rebels are
in earnest. Tele will. be news to many a man
in Pennsylvania, who has been misled by a band
of corrnpt,politiciaas, constantly insisting that
the kople of the South were only fighting fin:
their rights. l'he soldier will communicate the
fact that the rebels are determined to destroy
this Government—that they have resolved to
keep the , llrdori' iermenently-dissOlvedLthat
they are intent on the humiliation of free labor,
and that`on no basis, short of these results, will
the rebels consent to a settlement. They must
have these, or war to the knife—war to, the
desolation of every home and every business
mart in the loyal States'. Ourinen who were
prisoners in Richmond have heard these seal
ments . .enunciated, and they have seen the
dreadful fury with which the traitor leaders in
tend to battle for their triumphant establish
meat. With the knoWledge of these facts
what must.bothe,feeling`of the returned vol
unteer, and particelarly the men who suffered
the horrors of exlt:lenient in a rebel prison, to
see and hear men in the North advocating
peace!, Is it likely that the advocacy of peace
will meet'the approbation of the soldier, who
underibuids fully that peace, unless forced at'
the point of the bayonet by , the Government,
will only bring .disgrace and humiliation and
destruction to the masses of the free and 16yal
States? We think not, and therefore the,
turn of tile soldier,"so far aithie advocacy con ?
corned, will have a good influence, and mtustlor
a time silence the'peace mongers in the North.
At - all events, we expect to see and hear a great
change in the public mind.; The experienceof
the soldiers will have a splendid effect in put
dOwn treason sympathy-in the loyal States
Government, Stooks 'The Popular Faith .
In such Investments.
The press of the country can do the Govem
ment no greater service than by fairlk discuss-,
ing the value of °overt:Unapt stocks.
_The
more fairly- this disorission is , comictoteil, the ,
more popular will such investments betoms.
Stock in the GoVernment is stock` n our own
personal existence ; so far as thatesaibiguardedi
brreorts,l hands ormeins. If the Government
fails, our investment in all interests, we care
not what they maybe, must also fail. It is
only the faith which men have in the Govern
ment that conduces to the general prosperity.
Destroy that faith, and you at once impair that
Government ; and when the Government is in
capable of exercising its functions to protect
property and guard individual rights, all else
that we are or possess as indivlduale must fol
low in the general wreck. Fur this reason it
becomes the duty of all to contribute to the
support of the Government Time° 'who have
strength and martial ability 'must freely con
tribute such—those who:have wealth or braids
must lay all on the common altar, without
stint or reservation, to the end that the Gov
ernment may be saved.
One of the great popular means of contribu
ting to the support of the Government is that
which is offered, by the popular loans now in
the market. We, are glad to learn, that the
officetventrusted with the public loads have de
termined to distribute them through the corm
_
try, and for this purpose have appointed agents
at diffarent points, through whom subwriptiotis
can be made. This will afford the opportunity
to many persons of small means to Make in
-1 •
vestments without any trouble , to themselves,
while at the same time the G.overnment- will
gain by having its 'debt . widely diffused, and
thus bringing self-interest to the aid of patriot
ism. The money may be paid in legal tender
notes, or in checks. on New York or Philadel
phia. But after July I, 1863, the privilege of
exchanging these notes into - the six per' ent
loan-will cease. The bonds issued bear six per
cent. interest; payable semi-annually, in May
and November, in gold. The''Government're
'tains to itself the right to pay ' e the loan after
I ftvayeare, or to let it run 'for twenty years.
' For this reason the. bonds are called on 'Change
Five Twenties, 'end not, as some suppose, be
cause they bear 'five per cent interest As the
bonds are issued with coupons, any party hold

cut off 'a coupon and present . it to the nearest
sub Treasury, or have it forwarded,for payment,
so—that persons residing In the country will

is desired to have the debt In the form -of a

The bonds are issued in sums of $5O, $lOO,
$500,. $1,000,. $5,000 and,slo,ooo, so that all
persons can be suited, no 'matter what their
means. The farmer who lays aside his $lOO or
$2OO per year, can securely invest his money in
that which brings him its regular income every
six months, withont risk of loss, or trouble in
collecting. The faintly de — siring a safe invest

nothing better than this national six per cent.
loan. - The, capitalist, the retired man of.bnsi
nesa, will find this 'one- of the ,most prudent
meaner of laying out - his capital, that it may
bring him his regular income, more safely than

know how the government - stocks of England
are considered, and how generally they are Held
as the most secure investment, and that banks

upon the citizen to put forward Ids own hand

with all its faults, the world has ever seen.
They also serve who furnish matetial aid and

slavery never got along well together ; that
the Church abolished that peculiar institution
