Tuesday Evening July 2i, 1i63
Support the Families of Soldiers.
The Philadelphia City Council has set the
rest of the nation an example worthy of imita
tion. It refused to appropriate $500,000 to
exempt con-cripte ; but immediat ly appro-
priated a million to support their families.
The Government wants men, rather than
money ; and let us do all in our power to meet
the emergency, by assuring those who are
drafted that their families shall not suffer
dating their absence.
We do not know that the City Council of
Harrisburg has power to appropriate money for
this purpose ; bat if it takes the responsibility
we have no doubt but the next Legislature will
legalize the transaction. The representative
who would refuse to vote f•.r such a measure
would be politically dead from that hour, no
party could save him ; EO political trickery
return him to his seat afterward.
As it is, nearly all that is done is by private
benevolence, which has not been found want
ing, we are happy to say ; but it is unjust that
a few liberal minded men sbcinld be compelled
to contribute continually, while others----and
they too some of the Wealthiest of the people—
refute to give a dollar.
A general tax—and we say let it ba ample
for all pu.poses—would compel those men to
bear their share of the burdens of the war ; and
that is the only way that desirable object can
be accomplished.
The draft will, undoubtedly, take place soon;
and the City Council should be prepared to
meet the demands of the families at once ; and
not only meet theirs, bat those of the families
of our volunteers who bave been lb the service
for two years k tad more.
The author ties cannot be too prompt ; and
they need not fear that the Legislature will be
backward, at its next session, in legalizing
their appropriations.
The Five-Twenty Loan.
The time for receiving subscriptions to the
popular six .per cent loan (commonly called
6.20'5) may probably cease with the end of the
present month. Notice to this eff.ct, we be
lieve, has already been given by the agents of
the loan, for reason that the issuing of four
hundred millions cf legal tender interest bearing
Treasury Notes renders it expedient that no
farther long or permanent loans should be ne
gotiated. Added to this fact is Still another of
more importance as an argument against in
creasing the public debt by issuing bonds for
further loans, namely: the bright prospects in
military affairs suggests that possibly no further
use for such loans will be necessary. There can
be no doubt but that after the cessation of lesce,
these bonds will command a liberal premium.
They are now obtainable at par, and bear six
per cent, interest, payable in gold; and this fact
should be kept in mind: Toe abundance of cur
rency has produced an easy money market, and
loans cannot be made on first class business
paper, for any period of time, at over the same
rate of interest payable in legal tender notes.
These bonds are equally desirable to those who
may contemplate the establishment of or the
participation in National banks. Numerous as
are the inducements, in a financial view, so also
can there be those raised by patriotic motives.
The national credit should be sustained in every
possible manner, for such is necessary to the
sustenance of the Government of our country.
A ctreful thought given to this matter will not
be amiss; and we hope these few lines will im
press it upon the minds of those who may never,
as yet, have given it their attention. •
Important. Decision Concerning, the Ric
roilment Act.
Judge Caleb Cushing has just given an
opinion adverse to the construction placed upon
the enrollment act in two important points, by
Provo's Marshal Fry. Mr. Cashing maintains
that the payment of $3OO exempts a man for
three years, and that a person cannot be re
("Allred to furnish a substitute or pay the com
mutation money before being examined. In
the latter particular the instructions of the
Provost Marshal General have already been
overruled. We incline at least to the justice
of the decision, whether it correctly expounds
the terms of the law or not. If the payment
of $3OO were only to exempt a man from the par
ticular draft then in progress, and not during
the term for which men are drafted, then it
would exhaust the resources of nine out of
every ten men liable to draft, were they com
pelled to pay the $3OO every time tteir names
were drawn, simply because it might become
necessary to order a recourse to conscription
every calendar month. If the draft is fir three
years, then the men paying the $3OO should be
exempt from conscription , for that space of
time. ' Hence, the decision of Justice Cushing
will be received by the popular mind as just
and equitable.
VALLANDIOnAM STOCS. Down.—Another Dem
ocratic paper-474e Atnericzn Union, published at
Steubenville, Ohio, and edited by .T.thn Sheri
dan—refuses to support Vallandighatu for Gov_
ernor. It has been the Democratic organ of
Jefferson County for more than thirty years.
In an article published on the 15th, the Union
refers to the noise made by Vallandigham about
States' rights, and an armistice, and observes :
"If the party adopt the peculiar views on this
sudj .ct (State rights) of the great south Caroli
nian, John C. Calhoun, then the former position
occupied by the Democratic p trty has been
wrong, and we have but found out since the
latter day Democracy are playing the deuce with
the patty, that Jackson and all such ordinary
men as him d:dn' t know what Democracy con
sisted of, and of what ingrediew s it was com
posed, notwithstanding the history of the
countryi shows that when secesrion raised its
head with John C. Calhoun for its leader,-that
he proved to be the man for the crisis, and the
'Pilot who weathered the storm' cradled the
great Nullifier and his followers, and as lot g
as he lived was thanked by the whole nation
for his prom. t action for so doing. It was never
mooted again until after Jackson and Calhoun
died."
- as an editor, stand to day where we did
the first day the first gun was fired on Fort
Stuopter. Nearly the whole party stood with
u 4 then, a 5 we believe it do( e, now. We will
not be intimidated or wheedled into a wrong
position. We will stand between the camps of
, h,•l,siliolites and Pliitlistinys, and wo can try,
in th hour of degeneracy, woe to the leaders
of the Cr. Dcmocratie party, until, like•
ancient Ninevah, the pope wul :make and
come up to the purifiewion of the Democratic
temple, and overthrow those who are trying to
Otte the party in a false position. This will be
done."
The Reason Why.
We notice that some of the copperhead or
gans aro becoming quite patriotic, now that they
see that the draft is likely to be enforced, in
spite of their efforts to prevent it, and are all at
once strongly in favor of the volunteer system.
They deplore, in the depths of their patriotic
hearts, the necessity as well as the digrace of
having to resort to a conscription to fill up our
armies ; and they wonder why the disgrace can-
not yet be avoided, and the armies filled up by
volunteers ?
Innocent souls! we will tell them. Had no
such hypocrites and slavery sympathizers as
Judge Woodward, Gov. Seymour, Bill Bigler,
the Woods, and all the big and little leaders of
the Northern dough-faces—had these wretches
not howled down the Government, denounced
the war, misrepresented and belied the object
for which it was prosecuted, and did all they
could short of overt acts of treason to disconr
age and prevent volunteer enlistments, the ne
cessity of a draft never would have occurred.—
Ellis is the plain truth about the matter. It
was the intention es well as the expectation of
the Government and its friends to rely wholly
on volunteer enlistments to raise and maintain
armies, and this could and would have been
done, had it not been for the disloyal and tree-
sonable howlings and discouragementa offered
by these " Democratic" leaders, and the hypo
critical patriots that are now pretending to de
plore the necessity of a draft ! Everybody
knows this, and none better than theSe very
mon themselves, who are all of a sudden so
much in favor of volunteers. They made the
draft necessary. And not only that, bat they
have encouraged the rebels by their persistent
and disgraceful opposition to the Government
and the war, and thus unnecessarily prolonged
the contest, as well as invited the rebels to invade
the loyal States. All this is chargable to the
unholy opposition of the men and leaders who
alike disgrace their country and the stolen
name of " Democracy."
In the contest which is about to be waged in
Pennsylvania for the choice of a Governor to
succeed the present able and patriotic chief
magistrate of Pennsylvania, the opponents of
the Union National men expect to make large
capital out of the draft. But we warn the peo
ple in time, to guard themselves against the
falsehoods which will be put afloat for their de
ception. Had it not been for the Democratic lead•
ers and tory organs of Pennsylvania and other
States, the necessity of a draf t would never have
been created. Had it not loan for the same
men, the war would have been brought, to an I
r end by the honorable acknowledgment on the
part of seceeded states, of the just authority of
the Government; or had even this failed, had it'
not been far the treachery of Democratic offi
cers in command of the forces on sea and land,
the rebellion would have been crushed out by
the valor and perseverance of the loyal men of
the land. And out of all this grows the necessity
for the draft, a necessity as chargeable to the
Democratic leaders, as are the causes of the
war, attributable to the corruptions of the same
party.
—Here we have it, then, fairly slated, that
the cause, the horrors, the prolongation and the
necessities of the war, are all justly chargeable
to the Democratic leaders. On their heads must
rest the blood shed, in their ears must ring the
reproachful cries of the orphanage, and on their
souls must rest the responsibility of the wrongs
of the rebellion. In all its aspects, from every
point we view it, in its atrocity, its relentless•
ness, its rapacity, its meanness and itsdespera
tion, the rebellion is actually and only
the result of Democratic teaching. And
until the Democratic leaders are brought to
justice, the responsibility of this rebellion will
never fully be discharged. Let those who
deem the draft a hardship, : and who trembling
ly regard the horrors of the war, remember
these facts.
Bear it in Hind
That Abraham Lincoln.on the 4th of July
last eaid, the Union armies were fighting for
the principle that `•all men were born free and
qua'," and that the rebels were contending
against that principle. Here is a terrible con
fession. Northern soldiers were fighting. to
make the negro their eocial and political equal
—Northern men are wasting their lives and
their heroi-m—Northern blood is being poured
out like water, and Northern industry taxed to
the utmost limit, for the grand object of mak
ing the negro the equal of the Northern white
This is the policy of the Administration. Th , s
is the statement of its-objects and ends, made
by the President. And the Secretary of War,
Air. Stanton, says those men who oppose this
policy, are "copperheads, and will be driv n
hiss" , gto their bol-s " Is it wonderful that
the Government is obliged to draft?—Doyletioum
Democrat.
I he above extract, from a vile copperhead
sheet, is the sort of stuff with which the popu
lar mind is daily being poisoned. The assertion
that "all men were born free and equal," sets
forth the most solid principle which underlies;
and is in fact the very language in which the De
claration of Independence was couched. If its
meaning now is to Set the negro slave free, and
to equalize the Saxon and the African, then had
it the same meaning when it was enunciated,
July 4, 1776, and our failure to carry it
out, proves that we have committed a base
wrong in the face of a sacred covenant.
And to go still further : if the meaning of the
sublime truth-that "all men were born free and
and equal" is to set the slave free, and elevate
and improve the African, then is the negro
pronounced a man by those who approve hie de
gradation and enslavement, and they become
guilty by their own confession and construction
of a great truth, of a crime in enslaving such
winch Heaven will .never excuse.
The miserable shifts to which the copper.
head press resort, are becoming daily more des
perate. We expect to hear these apostates and
trait3rs next claim that when Christ died for
sinners, it was only for white men—men of all
other color having been reserved especially for
the sport and satisfactiori'of his Satanic Majesty.
Letter from Huntingdon
CAMP Julix nu; Hu NT ENG DON PA.,
July 27. 1863.
T.) the Editor of the Harrisburg Illegraph : —Tho
54.111 regiment P. V. bt., after a brief existenca
of ab ut ten days, has been disorganized.
by reasan that the companies c mstituting the
same, owing to the dissimilarity of their mus•
ieriag in oaths, are emphatically precluded
from being consolidated. The "emergency
men," it will be remembered, are sworn into
the Unitrd States' service for State defence,
whereas the " Three months' men" are sworn
into the State service. Of the ten companies
composing the regiment, four are "emergency"
and sir, "three months."
The field officers of State militia are elected
by the line officers of the companies constitu
ting the regiment; the field officers of 'United
States regiments are appointed by the Preei•
dent, upon recommendation of the Governor—
wherefore, our late election for field officers,
wherein both State and United States officers
voted, is manifestly null and void, and has
been so declared.
Captain Litztnger, of company A, has been
appointed acting Major of the " Emergency "
battalion—which is a merited compliment to a
de,erving man. A soldier of ripe experience,
a strict disciplinarian, a tip-top drill-master,
and, to crown all, an unmistakable gentleman,
he will do justice to the position to which he
has been elevated.
Col. M'Keys, of the "three months' men,"
is appointed commandant of the post in gene
ral, vice Col. Miles, who has been relieved and
ordered to report to his regiment, with the
Army of the Potomac.
Ia view of the fact of the publication of an
intensely disloyal communication, purporting to
have been written by somebody in this camp,
and desiring, doubtless, to set their seal of con
demnation in unmistakable terms upon copper
headism and copperheads, a squad of soldiers
visited the Huntingdon ihmitor office on Friday
night, with the intention of "ridding out" the
establishruent. They had only succeeded in
demolishing a few can's of types, and smashing
a few doors and windows, however, when the
provost guard interfered with this proceeding,
dispersing the mob without difficulty. This is
the second visitation of mob law upon the Moni
tor within the past couple months.
In anticipation of an attempt teing made by
pasty friends to invoke the lex talioms in the
matter, on Saturday night a company of sol
diers were ordered to town, to preserve the
public peace, which they did, but neither the
Globe nor American were menaced.
The draft for the X. Vllth Congressional Dis
trict, composed of Cambria, Blair, Huntingdon
and Main counties, will probably be drawn in
the present week. JAY.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OW THE POTOMAC, 1
26th July-6 P. IL
The positions of the rebel army are as follows:
On Friday morning at six o'clock the advance
of Hill's and Longetreet's corps reached Cul
peper. The columns were well closed up, and
their entire corps must be concentrated there
before this time. Of this retrogade movement
there can be no question. For two day I had
a favorable opportunity to take bitdseye views
of both Hill's and Longstreet's commands, and
on one occasion was quite as near as was pru
dent for a non-combatant to be.
Ewell's corps, it is understood here, still oc
cupies the Shenandoah Valley, where it is
guarding the fords on the Shenandoah and the
'rear of the rebel army. This fact is supposed
to explain the recent alarm about the alleged
movement& indicating that Lee was not retreat
ing, and was indeed preparing to return to
aryland.
The Excelsior brigade had a fight yesterday
at Ashby's Gap with :the enemy, where the
latter had both infantry and cavalry. After a
bad but severe contest, the enemy were re
pulsed, and a. large Burnt er of prisoners cap
tured. Among the wounded is Brigadier Gene
ral F. B. Spiuola.
Racal/QUARTERS CAVALRY Drums,
ARISsviLLR, Va., Saturday, July 25.
General Carter, with three regim e nts of the
Michigan brigade. under command of Colonel
bray, (Col Town, the senior officer, being sick,)
advanced from this place, to Newby's Cross
Roads to reconnoiter the enemy's position. The
Ffrh Michigan were in advance. The enemy's
pickets were met within tali a mile of the
Cross Roads, when.the advance guard was dis
mounted and deployed as skirmishers, and one
`section of Pennington'e battery, under Lieut.
Clarke, was placed , in position on a crest at the
left of the road, supported by the First Michi
gan, Major Brewer. For half an hour or more
a live'y skit mist' was kept up, when the advance
skit mishers were reinforced by three squadrons
from. the Filth Mich gan, and also the balance
of these regiments acting as a reserve.
The men thus thrown forward steadily drove
the enemy before them, until the crest of a
hill was reached near the cross roads, when the
enemy opened a brisk fire with artillery, firing
shells, grape and canister, and our advance was
checked. This position was held for at least an
hour, when, much to the astonishment of all,
a regiment of the enemy's infantry appeared in
the rear of the First Michigan, while support
ing the artillery above referred to. The whole
section of country in this vicinity is so cut up,
chit- it is almost impossible for cavalry to
operate effectively, and particularly difficult at
the point where the enemy first made their ap
pearance in our rear, as it was covered not
only with trees up to within twenty rods of the
regiment, but the intervening space is covered
w.th an undergrowth of pine trees and stubble.
Gen. Carter, when made aware of this flank
movement, at once ordered a onarge to be
made. Practicable under ordinary circumstan
ces, but just at this point an impracticability,
which he very speedily discovered, Major
Brewer fortunately hesitated when ordered to
charge, and the result was a change of order.—
section of artillery exposed rapidly moved
to the right, while;the First Michigan remained
in position until the enemy had fired one vol
ley, then wheeling to the right into the road, a
rapid retrograde movement then bt °ugh! them
to the rear, and in a place of comparative t , afty.
While this movement wan being executed on
the lett of the road, the enemy advanced two
pieces to the crest of a hill in front previous v
occupied by oil. , skirmishers, atal opens d . gall
ing fire upon our troops with grape and canister,
at the same time advancing a column of infan
try in the same direction. A portion of our
right was forced stilt further to the right, and
the left was forced back into the road where
the extreme lett had preceded it. The retreat
on the right was skilfully conducted by Col
1 Gray, who , notwithstanding the excitement of
the moment, did not forget *o extend protection
to the artillery, then within the enemy's grasp,
and it was consequently saved.
The enemy after this were held in chtck at
every point, while the command, having felt
the position, fell back to Amissville. From in
formation obtained from reliable srurces, it was
ascertained that the column struck the rear of
A. P. Hill's command.
The advance of Longstreet's corps passed
through Thornton's Gap and Sperryville on
Thursday, and Friday morning, at 6 o'clock, it
reached Culpepper. Hill's command was im
mediately in his rear.
To-day the cavalry moved up to Gaines' Cross
Roads, where the enemy's pickets were enzonn
,
tared and driv,n in, but the main command was
beyond reach. As Gen. Carter's were solely to
ascertain the pcisition of the enemy, in obedi
ence to orders he fell back to Amissville. Our
loss during the two day's reconnoissance will
probably not exceed six killed and thirty woun
ded. Lieut. Sable, of Gen. Carter's staff, was
severely wounded in the side by a shell, and
was lett on the field. The enemy saw fit neither
Ito parole nor take him away, and this morning ,
he was brought in.
During the most exciting time of yesterday a
horse iu front of Colonel Gray was killed
Colonel Gras's horse fell over the disabled ani
mat, and before the Colonel could regain his

wife, by whom he had several children, and
that his two wives lived with him in the same
house. The Judge d. sided that the second
marriage was not lawful, but a crime against
the laws of the United States, and therefore null
and void. and censure rests upon it. The Judge
decided th.t the mother was entitled to the cm
tody of the girl. The News characterizes the
Judge's doings as a 'Attestable proceeding,"
and an "official outrage."

ImOALITY OF POLYGAMY TESTED Di UTAH
A REPENTANT REBEL.—While our surgeons at
Gettysburg were attending to the wounded as
they were brought to the hospitals, without re
gard to the side upon which they had fought, a
label colonel, covered with blood, was ordered
to be placed in a bath. He was lifted carefully
in, and then, casting his eyes about him, upon
those who b ad taken him up so tenderly, burst
into a $ tod of tears and wept like a child. Re
cqvering himself, be said to those around him:
•`1 hope I shall be forgiven for raising my band
against the stars and stripes, and If I recover
front these wounds, I will not only never do the
like again, but try to make amends, so far as I
can, for the wrong I have done."
