Injustice to Pennsylvania Soldiers.—The
76th Keg, P. V.
We are so accustomed to the injustice and
misrepresentation of the press of other States,
while referring to the men from this State who
are nobly battling in the cause of the Union,
that we scarcely consider it worth the paper and
the Ink to notice their efforts. The action of
our people are the best refutation for the slan
ders thus heaped upon them. Bat when any
portion of the press of Pennsylvania joins in this
crusade, we deem it worth while at least to state
the real facts, as well to do justice to our breth
ren in arms as to rebuke our cotemporaries in
error. One of these cotemporaries, the Philadel
phia Inquirer, through the medium of a corres
pondent wilting concerning the splendid attack
on Fort Wagner,places the men of one of the most
efficient Pennsylvania regiments in, a position
at once disgraceful to them as soldiers and com
promising to the State which recruited and sent
them out to battle. The charge is that the 7¢ th
Beg. P. V., was held as a reserve, and that be
fore it could be brought into action, the men
broke and fled. To show the utter falsity of the
statement,we have the authority of a brave sailor
for asserting that the 76th P. V. participated in,
the attack on Fort Wagner, LEADING THE AD
YAMS, AND Our OF FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY
MIN THAN COMPOSING THE REGIMENT, LISA:TING ONE
RUNDE= AHD &MAY SIX UNDER THE OURS OF THEI
Feat I This, surely, does not look as if these
Pennsylvania braves broke and fled before
they could be brought under fire. It
also disproves the allegation that the 76th
was in the reserve. In fact, the regiment
Was not only not in reserve, but it was the
storming party in every assault. During the
entire operation of the troops against Fort
Wagner, the 76th was in the advance. General
Strong, who was at the head of the expedition,
led the advance with the 76th when the troops
landed. He was bareheaded and barefooted,
and shouted out, "Three cheers for the 76th
Pennsylvania," under one of the most galling
fires that our troops have been subjected to in
this war. The daring and bravery displayed by
76th P. V. on the occasion, has probably never
been equalled on any battle field in modern
times. From the 11th to the 16th the 76th .
lay under the guns of Sumter, Wagner and'
Battery B, without shelter of any kind. The
heat was moat intense, but the men did not
murmer. On the morning of the 18th, General
Strong ordered the 76th forward to support our
advanced battery. For eleven hours this gallant
regiment was subjected to a most galling fire
from Fort Sumter, Battery Ese, - Fort Wagner
and Fort. Moultrie. They seemed to invoke
danger and court hardship, as if they wanted
both amid which to prove to the country and
their countrymen, that the men of Pennsylvania
were not only devoted to,. but that they were
ready to die for the Union.
—Other hots might be adduced to show the
injustice of such tl igrant falsehood as the In
quirer correspondent's statement concerning
the assault on Fort Wagoner. The 76th P. V.
won immortal honor in that assault. 'Every
man proved himself a hero, and as such they
mum henceforth be treated or good soldiers as
well as huneat truth will suffer by, the neglect.
The Defeat of a New County Project.
The proposition to divide Luserne county,
has been agitated by the peoplel of that county
for some time past, and was 'also bafore the
Legislature last winter,. when a bill was passed
and referred to the voters of that county'pro:
viding for the division. This bill' wee deleated on
the popular vote of the pit:spas rn enestion at an
election held on Tuesday, the 21st inst.; by a ma
jority of 8,737, out of.a vote of 1007. The effort
to divide grew out of the jealousy emoting be
tween the people of Stranton and Willt l esbarre
—the former desiring' to constitute what the
latter already constitutes, a county town. We
trust that the result will satisfy both parties,
and that the ill-feeling,which the agitatfon of
the questibri of division engendered, will give
way to that of harmony and reciprocity, and thus
Insure a

The lecture with, the above title, which Mr.
C. C..Burliegh has delivered with fifth marked
effect in many of the loyal' States; will' bei
peated in Harrisburg, at the 'Court tiOuse, this
evening. Mr,
_Burleigh, as-we have - already
stated, is among the most earnest and learned
men in the country. •He is an enthusiastic
lover of the Union, a brave advocate of freedom
and an unhesitating opponent of every form of
tyranny over the mind of man. We can faith
fn ly promise ttfose who visit the .Court House
this evening, - a--lecture such as ,they ,fiave not
heard, either in 'Point of ability or eloquence,
yr many 3 ears.
Is the Administration would abow vigor, let
it thrOw 260,000 veteran troops into Virginia,
and either destroy Lee's army, or drive it to the
'cotton States. Such a process wild demoralize
and ruin it. _
Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The first rebel campaign in these States, re
sulted very disa , trously to the armies which
invaded both to de-olate their homes, carry off
th,.ir property and temporarily to dcarroy their
reeenrc , s. In Prians3lvania, Lee was thwarted
in all his plans. He was permitted to penetrate
the ye , y heart of one of the richest Tallie d
of the State, and when he most believed that
his progress would be a triumphal march over
the entire commonwealth, he was met,whipped,
humiliated and hurled back upon the dreary
shores of the Potomac with a force which has
certainly impressed him with new ideas of ce
lerity and dispatch. In Ohio, the cutthroat
and robber, John Morgan, was even more sum
marily dealt with by the loyalists, His Luny
was not only beatten, but he himself was cap
tured and now occupies a criminal's cell in the
Ohio Penitentirry. In one sense, Morgani s the
first rebel allowed to live and still considered as
receiving his jaat due; and if there was a peni
tehtiary sufficiently large it would be an ad
mirable plan to consign all rebels to its cells, to
enjoy the reward of hard labor and solitary
confinement for the remainder of their misera
ble lives.
Since the first rebel campaigns in Ohio and
Pennsylvania resulted so disastrously to the
south, we may safely venture the anticipation
that the campaign of the rebel sympathizers in
the same States will have a similar result. In
Ohio, these sympath , zers are headed by a genu
ine rebel. Vallandigham is as ardent a traitor
as Jeff Dsvis. He has done as much as any man
whose hands are unstained with blood, to de
stroy the Union and displace the legal authori
ty of the Government. Without John Morgan's
courage to devastate the fields and desolate the
flee homes of Ohio, Vallandigham is still as
sincere in his desires for the triumph of treason.
His soul is in the work of treason, and that is
as much as any coward can give to a bad cause.
But the loyal men of Ohio will deal with Val
landigham as they did with John Morgan; and
while Morgan awaits his sentence in the Ohio
Penitentiary, Vallandigham will take his trial
before the people of that State. We do
not doubt the result. Neither do we question
the result in Pennsylvania. Here we beat
the rebels in an armed contest, such as
the world never before beheld. Here we
are about to wage an unarmed contest
of equal magnitfide. Lee came boldly to destroy
freedom. Woodward is secretly set up insidul
ously to advance and defend the cause of sla
very, which is of itself the essence and the
animus of treason. Does any man doubt the
result of the campaign against the treason sym
pathizers in Pennsylvania after that which fol
lowed the traitors? Does any man doubt that;
after the true men of the Commonwealth con
tributed to the defeat and overthrow of. Lee
the same bravery, the same fortitude will
not be invoked to overthrow and humiliate
Woodward ? He who doubts the result in one
case after having beheld it in another, bears no
allegiance to his government, and is in sympa
thy with the cause of treason.
—The country will watch with anxious feeling
the progress of the campaign. in Ohio and
Pennsylvania, against the rebel symplthisers.
As the first was a victory over the rebels, so,
with the help of the truth, we feel that the
other also will terminate. It is at least worth
struggling for. Let loyal men remember this
fact and go to work. -
Conscription Insuranco Companies.
In the Western States, and more particularly
in Missouri, efforts are being made to form In
surance Companies against drafting, as a pro
tection for artizans, mechanics, laborers and all
classes cf citizens whose resources are few And
limited. A company of one hundred men, each
paying thirty dollars, thus raise a fund of three
thousand dollars, sufficient for the commutation
fee of ten drafted - Men, and in some localipea
ample to prtchase fifteen substitutes. : .The
writer who makes this Proposition says that the
conscription would sit easy en every Man's
shoulder, and the whole system might be'con
sidered a "fair" one, the more so, because even'
in Europe in peace as well as in war, times,
every Government had such a sYstem of , con

afternoon and attacked our force.
The brig John Freeman, which arrived a+
this port today from Bermuda, reports that
the Florida was there coaling and caulking,
and did not expect to leave for two or three
days. A whaling schooner, of New Badford,
arrived on the 22d, with considerable oil, and
would ship it home by a British vessel.
The British schooner Hound, from Bermuda,
brines Captain Coffin and the crew of the brig
W. B. Nash, which was captured by the Flori
da. Capt. Coffin reports that he sailed from
New York on July 3, with a cargo of lard and
staves. On July 8, when in lat. 40, lon. 73,
he saw a steamer to the westward which
passed us about five miles off.
She had four smokestacks and was a side
wheel boat, (probably the Ericsson). We soon
after made another steamer to the eastward,
which came along and passed us. Soon after
she bore up for us, and came alongside with
the stars and stripes floating. She hailed us to
heave to, as they wished to send shoat aboard,
and as the boat boarded us they hoisted the
'confederate flag. The cirrers of the boat pro
nounced us a prize to the confederate govern
m ent,and ordered myself and a pat t of my crew
to take portion of our clothes and my papers
and go on board the steamer, which proved to
be the Florida. My chart and instruments
were confiscated, and the brig set on fire. The
Florida then steered for a schooner in sight,
which was found to be abandoned. She was a
whaling schooner, belonging to Provincetown,
and was set on fire. The Florida then steered
off the coast as fast as possible, under steam
and canvass, and landed myself and crew at
Bermuda.
"On the 16th rof July, the Florida's officers
had been lionised by the authorities, and she
was saluted by the fort in the harbor. She is
armed with six broadside guns and two pivots.
She is not as fast as has been represented, and
her machinery is getting out of repair. She
does not steam over eight and a half knots.—
The discipline on board is bad.
"A number of blocka 'e runners are also at
Bermuda. The Florida had transferred a por
tion of her vain able spoils to the Robert E. Lee,
to be taken toWilmington."
The cargo of the W. B. Noah consisted of
686 532 pounds of lard and 5,867 staves.
HALMS, July 29.—The brig Devonshire,
with Bermuda dates to the 21st of July, arrived
here to-day.
The privateer Florida arrived at Bermuda on
the 16th, to repair a ditnarre toner machinery.
She anchored at first outside, and on the follow
log day was permitted to enter the harbor.
She Wilted the British flag, and the salute was
returned. A considerable interchange of conr
flake has taken place between the officers of the
Florida and those on shore. The pawls teem
with communications laudatory of the craft,
and the officers and crew.
Since the advices of the 17th the Florida has
destroyed twelve other vessels. The name of
only one is given, and that is the brig William
B. Nash, of Cherryfield, which was bound from
New York to Marseilles, with a cargo of lard,
mostly on French account. She was captured
on the Bth, in lat. 40 0 ,. long. 70 0 . After the
best of her stores were removed to the Florida,
she was burned.
The Florida lately ran within fifty miles of
New York. It is said that she was in search of
the Ericsson, which she chased for some time ;
but the Ericsson escaped in the dense fog. She
shortly after destroyed the Nash.

A SAD CARL —Cheyney J. Speakman, 11 years
of age, son of Ebenezer Speakman, of East
Bradford, Delaware county, dii d la t month.—
This little fellow has passed through a terrible
ordeal within the past three years. Two years
ago last October. he went Into the paper mill,
on the Brandywine, a place he had been in the
habit of visiting, and from a pitcher which he
supposed contained water, he drank a quantity
of vitriol. His life was saved, - but since the
occurrence he has suffered a great deal. His
throat healed up in such a manner as to pre
clude the passage of food, and he has been
living for two years and a Kali on liquids—for
two days at a time on different occasions, it was
impossible for him to swallow even that kind of
nourishment, and be was forced to go that
length of time without any subsistence. The
last twt weeks before he died, he was in great
agony, wishing and craving all the time for
something to eat. He has gone to school since
the accident, and it was thought for a while
that he would get well, but sume time ago he
took cold, since which time he has been very
feeble. He was a bright, energetic lad, and
very much petted and liked by all who became
acquainted with him. He complained but very
little, and would never mention any thingabont
it unless asked, bearing all his suffering in
silence.

all other attempted compounds do, but, on the
contrary, it will give the complexion a pearl -

observers. It is alio invaluible for removing
all kinds of Humors, Tans, Freckels, Sunburns
