MEETING OF TOE COUNTY COMMIT-
TEE.
The Union County Standing Committee of
Dauphin county will meet at the house of Ben
jamin Back, in the city of Harrisburg,
ON WEDNJSDAY, JUNE 37, 1863,
A 2 o'clock, P. x.
A full attendance is earl3estly requested, as
important business will be laid before the com
mittee. By order of
ALEX. KOBER, Chairman.
SAMUEL K. BARON, Secretary.
Gov. Curtin.
The Philadelphia papers, yesterday, refer
with special prominence to the
. fact, that Goy.
Curtin will not, under any coneideration, allow
hie name to be used in contesting the nomina
tion as a -Gubernatorial candidate. This an
nouncement conveys nothing more than what
we have heretofore emphatically stated, on the
anthor:ty of the last message of Gov. Curtin
to the last *Legislature. That message -was-a
solemn and voluntary withdrawal from a con
test'at a time when the current wee largely In,
his favor ; and in order to be true to himself as
a gentleman of veracity and honor, we knew
that Gov. Curtin would yield to no perkiest . = or
interest which might attempt to- seduce him from
his plighted faith in this connection. In cortobo
ration of what the-Philadelphia press Of yeiter
day announced, we can now state, that-we havi3
this highest authority for assuring not only
the personal friends of Gov. Curtin, birealso
those who are candidates for Domination for
Governor before the ensuing Pittsburg conven
tion, that he Will positively not be , a candidate:
Helvent to Erie a few days since, at the earnest
solicitation of personal friends, and by the
same'authority which assured us that he would
not contest a re-nomination, we were authOr
bled to state, that Gov. Curtin would so declare
himself at the northwest, and- thus perempto
rily and positively put at rest all agitation or
conjecture on the subject.
—With the consciousness of having faithL
fully discharged his duty—with the approval
of hosts of Mende—with the confidence of his
party—with the respect of the national Ad
ministration, and with a high official position
at his disposal, when he leaves the Executive
chair Of Pennsylvania, Rite not likely that Gov.
Qortin will again throw himself into the breach
to contend for a position which has already
wasted his health to a degrre which almost
endangers his life. Hence his final and positive
determination in no sense to allow the use of
his name as•a candidate. And we repeat, too,
that we trust our semi-official authority for thus
announcing what is a fixed'determination, will
put to rest all future speculation or conjecture
with regard to Gov. Curtin and a re nomina
tion.
The IP:meatom
of the Press.
The penalties inflicted on slander and, the
punishments which follow the concoction and
circulation of libels are accepted as jilst and
fair by all who have a regard for their own and
a respect for the honest reputation of others.
With reference to individuals, a man or a
newspaper has no right to proclaim opinions
merely to: vent his spite or satisfy a spirit of
revenge. In refereace to public officers, just_
criticism may be conducive to just action, and
.thris theetafe ty and purity of public Malts are
secured and promoted. The relinquishment
of the right to Criticise the action, of those in
potter, would be giving-up one of the moat
sacred privileges of the . cittien—would be the
signal for fraud and tyranny in public officers,
to entrench themselves behind the forced,
silence of the press and the people, and thus
secure from public examination and run
r iot in mal-adaduistration. In a free land like
ours, men have a right to hold such opinions
as they may choose to form. They - have the
right not only to hold any Opinion in politics
and. religion, but they have also the right to
advocate and advance their faith with all' the
ability in their power. But one thing' they
hate n. r right to do. They haveito rightto Itat false
witness ageing the Government. If individuals are
restraiued by law, from bearing f tae witness
against each other - -if slander and libel are
restrained and punished by law, and the repu
tation and vital existence. of individuals. are
protected from outrage and destruction, why
shOuld not the government, the llnion, all
that we hold dear as a nation, enjoy the same
right and be governed by the acme mighty
protection at the hands of those in authority?
Editors'and orators have rights, rights vteted
in the freedom of speech and the liberty of the
press. Bat hare such as, these right to bear
false witness against .the Government ? Has a
partizan 'orator, at a time when the public'
safety depends upon the public`
_confidence in
the-purity and stability of 111. Government, a
right, to impair that confidence by maligning
and slandering the Governineat in order to
gratify a partisan hatred of those in authority ?
Has a;journalist any more right to libel the
Government than!lie hes to inflict the same
wrong on an individual? - These are qtrestions,
, which bonest:fierriiitriftinribag to: put 'to
each other, and thesifidinfir.;they are'satisfac
torily answered, the better, tor the present
safety and future stability of Government.
•
We have heard too much of the liberty of the
press and the freedom of speecharom those who
are abusing the nobleness of both, 'exidwlio are,
taking advantage of the corruption to Which
these have been subjected in order to do the
Government a vital injury. The very men in
the North, who now, prostitute and abuse the
libettY.:of-the preea.tard the freedom of-speech,
were those who, a few years since,idenied that
an orator Or an , editor had-any right to 'disco,*
the slavery 'question' in the The gortii
ern man who went South, and_daretLto.aciyocatel
freedom, was eithei,mrspeaded from a tree' top l
with his neck - tachaned - ; : in hem p , or 4/e was,l
treated to tar anii - featharis !anti' then scourged
from the country. TheAiresAtud
were both silenced in the bresen t ` or:trhie s fy .
presence .
The pen of the editor , and ilin; gigue=of _the
orator were , coutrolled and forbidden all allusion
to slavery, simply because its safety depended
upon their course and co ., fluct.
In the pretence of the danger which threatens
the entire nation, before the Government which
is now grappling with a desperate foe, we insist
that no man has a right to bear false witness
against these in power. It would be idle and
suicidal to admit the abuse of the right of the
liberty of speech or the freedom of the press
Those who claim the prostitution and abuse of
both, are those who are laboring most z:alously
for the overthrow of the Government. Those
who submit to this abuse, having the power to
abate the evil, are those who most neglect their
duty. In times like these, there is but one right
governing the people, and that is the right to
maintain, secure and ensure the Government.
Before this the rights t)f individuals are insig
nificant anduniMportant, In the presence of
thesafety" , of the Government, no man has a
right to claim the exercisevof a franchise which .
in the least imperils or,.embarrasses its efforts
to sustain itself. Those who insist upon the 'ex
ercise of such a right, are traitors in disguise.
Those who persist in that exercise, are, traitors
self-proclaimed, and should be treated with as
much vigoroup, resistance as thole wlitt are
openly in arms, clutehing,at the throat of the
`Government, and struggling like fiends of bell
'tb end its existence.
A Dodieof the Piotession.
When a theft f committed in a crowd,, old
"detectives!" inform in that those girilty of its
perpetration are most vociferous in crying "slap
thief" or "look out for goer pocket book!" tin
he same principle and with a like motive, the,
Tory Organ this rabming refers to a circular
written and published inyhiladelphia, suggest
ing "the pion for a lard armed :organization of the
Democratic party of -the State." We received a
copy of the,same infamous circular, but-did not
deem it worthy of notice,-from the fact that the
'lnformation which it conveyed was well estab
lished and 'admitted by the public acts and
proceedings of the Democratic leaders. The Tory
Organ lUelf, though it attempts this morning to
make light of the suggestion thus publicly
made in this circular, Testerday 'advised its
ieaders in very ominous italic to "Be Beady!"
"Be Ready" for what? To resist the Government
of course. To do in a practical way just what this
circular suggests. And yet the 21g Oikin has
the effrontery this morning to denounce the
circular calling on it and its adherents to rally
with the force of arms to resist the Government!
Bab! The attempt at subterfuge, and miserable
indignation is scarcely fitting the ; character of
a sheet which conveys falsehood and treason in
every column that it contains.
—With regard to the resistance of the Dem
ocratic leaders, that requires no proof nor will
it stand a discussion. All that the wretches
now need who lead' the rabble which submit to
their dictation, is confidence in those whom
they control. To-day, yet, these miserable
derttagegues would call upon the people to arm
and oppose the Government if they thought
that there would be a response in sufficient
numbers to insure success. Democratic plans of
humbling the Government are just as abundant
and as well concocted as have been the Demo
cratic plans in the, South. Bat the dough-face
bemoorat lacks the courage of the slave driver
—he shrinks from blood,aud would much - rather
'slander than fight fed. the oVerthrow of the Gov
ernment. This is the only difference between
*lie Liberty
the two sets of traitors. That the circular re
ferred to is a veritable Democratic document,
there is not the shadow of a doubt. It is Dem
ocratic all over. -It, counsels resistance to, the
Government. the, Democratic leaders
have been doing for t*o years past. It advises
'organization to bppose the laws. This the
Democratic leaders are doing now. Why then
conceal the facts by disguising the paternity of
documents calculated to secure the success of
the conspiracy ? Simply because a lie . pleases
some people more hugely than the truth.
The Payment of :tilTerkinen and Laborers
One of the petty acts of mean injustice to
which small speculators have been accustomed
to resort, in older to put money into their
purses, has been to pay those in their employ
with orders on Stores,. where they were com
pelted to purchase the goods.offmed at the most
exorbitant •prices. This custom at length be
come an intolerable nuieance, alike encouraging
the most heartless speculation and oppression.
In view of this fact; Governor Curtin, last
winter, recommended the passage of a law to
suppress the continuance of the custom, and ;
secure the payment of the employees of iron:
masters, foundry men, colliers, factory men or
other employees and labbrers in the lawful mo
ney of the State;'and'providing elst;that thupay
merit ofitny employe order, should sub
ject the employer imning such an order.to . for
feit the sum which It purported to.disbnrse. The
bill, as thuaruned, passed the Senate, but when
it reached . the Souse, it was .so amended
as to prevent a genera application :of its
restrictions, and thus of course nu:lll6E4 its main.
Object of protecting every class of employees.
The bill in the Horise,,prisseclamended so es to

THE SINKING OF THE CINCINNATI
'Official Report of Admiral Porter
WASHINGTON, June 8.
Secretary Welles to-day received a dispatch,
dated Cairo, yesterday.
I have received the following report of the
steamer Judge Torrence; which has arrived from
the fleet of .thellissisalppi squadron:
FLAG SHIP MLA.= HAWK, MLA V/CIESSIMG,
bitty 27,1868.—5ir, amidst our successes I regret
to report any reverses, but we cannot expect to
conquer a place like this without some loss.
At the urgent request of Generals Grant and
Sherman, I sent the Cincinnati to enfilade some
-rifle pits which barred the progress of the left
win of the Army. General Sherman supposed
that the enemy had removed his heavy; grins to
,the rear -of . the city. On the contrary, be
seemed to have placed more on the waterside
than 31/311111.
. .
The Oindnnati was - sunk and went down In
shoal water with her flag flying. The enemy

PORT HUDSON CLOSELY BESIEGED
•
The Garrison Scantily Supplied with
"Provisions.
Haw Your., June 3.
,The steamer George Cromwell arrived from
New Orleans at 3 o'clock this morning.
Seventy-five prisoners arrived at New Orleans
on the 26th from Baton Rouge, among whom
is ex-Governor Wi. kliffe; who was captured
near Port Hudson.'
The fight on the Bayou Sara road and near
Port Hudson on the 21st was hotly contested,
but the rebels were badly whipped at every
point.
A bayonet , charge of the 116th New York was
the final drilr of the day. The 116th New
York lost 13' killed afad 44 Wounded ; the 2d
Louisiana, 3 killed and 11 wounded ; the 48th
Massachusetts, 2 killed and 8 wounded ; the
30th Massachusetts, 6 wounded.
The New Orleans Bra of the 27th contains
the following :
Gen. Banks moved down:the Red river with
his army and crossed to Bayou Sara; and thence
to Port Hudson, where he united his forces
with those of Gen. Augur.
The gunboats under Farregut‘were to move
upon the 241 h.
The mortar fleet opened on Port Hudson on
the night of the 24th, silencing several of the
enemy's guns.
Port Hudson is now therefore closely besieged
and hemmed in, and the fall of this stronghold
will bi speedy, even should' Gen, Banks not
older an assault on the works.
Cul Grierson is co-operating . with Gen. Binks.
, A reported rebel iron clad raid irom Mobile
and the capture of two of our ships of war
groves to be a canard. The garrison at Port '
Hudson is estimated at 10,000 men., They are
scantily supplied, with provisions.
The Bevy Ork z aus Era of , the 28th, says, we
learn from an authentic source that our army_
before Port Hudson is in a satisfactory position,
and everything promises fair for an important
and successful close of the campaign against
that rebel stronghold.

the 22d.
The news of the retreat of Gen. Hooker's
army across the Rappahannock attracts much
comment The catnpaign is generally regarded
ae a miserable failure.
-The cargoes of the shipa Nora, Charles

being made on the British Goirernment to in

Goo. Forcy promptlr reload to ac _

presented a letter from Gen. Ortega. stating
that he would surrender unconditionally, with
all his troops. Thereupon the place was occu
pied by a portion of the French forces, and on
the 19th Gen. Forey himself entered Puebla.
On the 20th, Geo. Bazaine, at the bead of a
corps, conflating of two divisions. commenced
the march upon the city of Mexico.
The proprietors of the T,nes were notified
to-night by Capt. Putnam, commanding at
Camp Douglas, that if they attempted to issue
the paper to morrow morning, be would, in
accordance with the telegraphic order from
Gen. Ammen, take military possession of the
office. Judge Drummond, of the United
States Court was immediately applied to for a
writ enjoining Cant. Putnam from any inter
ference with the Times office. Up to this hour
(midnight) the Judge has not given any deci
sion. It Is thought probable, however, that he
will grant the writ, fearing resistance to the
military should they attempt to carry out Gen.
Ammen's order.
