Au old Democrat .j but still a young mam
and one, too, for whom 41 e have a high person-
al regard, protested to us on Saturday, against
our declaration that we would rather see Lee
advance with his cohorts into the hart of
Pennsylvania, than witness the inauguration of
Woodward as Governor of the State. He
seemed to think that such a declaration was
horrible—nay, that it was treasonable. Our
blend, however, is affected with that gangrene
which always attends deep-rooted prejudices in
politics. He regards our declaration only so
far as the devastation which a rebel army
would commit in its victorious passage ove r
the territory of Pennsylvania. But what is the
devastation of territory, the desolation of
homes, even, or, to go still further, the
decimation of population, in comparison
with "the corruption of racesand the ex
tinction of principle? A rebel army could,
at beat, destroy that which Would be restored
and repaired. The field which it would de-
vastate, could be made again to bring forth
crops—the homes that it would devastate
could ba restored to their former joy and peace.
The misery thus wrought would be brief. It
would not affect the integrity of our people.
It would leave no blight on the mind, however,
it might wound the heart. Sturdy labor and
well directed enterprise would soon coun
teract all the harm * which a rebel
army could do us by advancing as far
as the capital of Pennsylvania. But re
verse this state of affairs, by supposing that the
election of Woodward had peen achieved, and
what would be the result? Sunshine and rain,
industry and patience; with the returning
SE would repair the evil of invasion. But
should a principle be affected, as it most as
suredly will be, by the election of Woodward,
the damage could never be remedied. .It
would leave the people debased forever. Its
influence would extend, instead of decrease, as
years grew into centuries. Rebellions would
then repeat thereselvea, the triumphs of each
giving rise to new dissatisfactions, until life and
property would be esteemed worthless posses
sions. 'Thus, if George W. Woodward should
be elected Governor of Pennsylvania, (of
which there is great doubt, and against
which we trust God will interpose,) it would
be the triumph of a bad man and a worse
principle. A men wedded to the worst dogmas
of Ihe Democratic creed—who believes in the
State right of .secession and the divine right of
slavery-who has no regard for the rights of labor
except so far as it serves the interests of capital—
who recognizes the right of rebellion to question
. the authority of law and deny the influence of or
der—and who is today the active eympatbizer
with and faithful believer in, the very principle ,
upon which the slave holders rest their right to
oppose the National GoVernment. Surely the
elevation of such a Man to power—the triumph ,
of dogmas such as he represents, would be far
worse to a nation than the passage of a hcstile
army over its soil, to destroy and desolate its
resources and its hogree. Without the triumph
of just principles, hberever preeperouvertu
nities may be in material wealth, marr4 trot
really benefitted. When Christ came to save
mankind, the world was full of learning, full
of wealth, fall cf man's self•imporrance, with
governments risirg to regal grandeur and a
power that was invincible. Still man was little
more than a beast,. because. he had not then
risen to a God worshipping creature—to that God
worship which leads to purer powers and nobler
stations than any, which can be achieved in
this world. Thus with our condition and pros
pects-now. Far better would it be for the peo
ple of the Stale of Pennsylvania, were they
desolated by the invasion of a rebel army, than
were they corrupted and debased by the triumph
of a bad principle and the elevation of a bad
man to power. The desolation which an in
vader would inflict could easily be remedied—
while the corruptions and the evil of the triumph
of a principle of wrong, might leave behind it
influences which could never be counteracted.
—For these reasons, we repeat our declaration
far batter would it be for a rebel army to pene-.
trate the State of Pennsylvanla to its capital,
than that Woodward should be inaugurated
Governor of the State. Because of the two evils
the former would be the speediest remedied.,
Is our "Democratic" friend satisfied ?
State Teachers' Association.
A Convention of the teachers of all grades,
attached to the public schools of Pennsylvania,
will be held in the city of Reading to-morrow,
August 4th. The importance of this movement
has already commanded the attention of the
leading friends of education in every county in
the Commonwealth, and we therefore anticipate
on the occasion, the convening of one of the
most intelligent and influent'al assemblages
'ever organized in this State. It 14, indeed,
cheering to know that in the midst of the tur
moil of civil war, when business and life and,
property are more or less menaced and in dan
ger, the cause of education has lost none of its
interest, nor have its 'Votaries abated any of
their zeal for its success:
—ln the convention which is to be assembled
in Reading to-morrow, we are glad to learn.that
Dauphin county will be ably represented.

Protection far Those Who Fight the gat"
ties of the triton.
WO print this afternoon an order from the
President of the United States (which would
have appea , ed in our morning edition had the
A-sociat(d Press agent frithfully di, charged h!s
duty) relating to the protection of oil who are
oiga2.ed in battling for the Union, whether they
ho white or black, American, Saxon, Celt,
Teuton or African. The Commander-in chief
of the armies of the United States avows his
solemnly considered purpose to protect all those
who fight beneath the flog of the country; and
he gives the tyrants and assassins at Richmond
notice that for every African soldier taken pri
soner and sold into slavery, a rebel prisoner
will be consigned to hard labor on any of the
public works, to be designated by those whose
duty it will become to enforce said order. There
is something in this order which makes one feel
that man is not altogether lost to a sense of
what is right; and as an act of humanity, to
say nothing of its exalted teaching of justice, it
will be commended by the goverments of the
world. As if in disregard of every principle,
human and divine, the rebels have been treat
ing the Africans captured fighting for the Gov
ernment with the most hellish ferocity; while
at the same time, negroes are made to serve in
the rebel ranks, both as soldiers bearing arms,
and as laborers relieving the white traitors of
the menial duties of they camp, the entrench
ment and the fortification. In fact, the negro
slave, in conjunction with the dough-face por
tion of the Northern Democracy and the British
aristocracy, was mainly relied' upon by the
rebels to secure the Success of theiidonspiracy.
The negro was depended upon, not only to dis
charge the menial labor of the camp, but he
has been forced to take the actual post of dan
ger in many of the bard fought battles of the
rebellion. The British aristocracy were to fur
nish the money, and the dough-face Democracy
were to do the pleading for the conspirators,
traminelling the Federal authorities with pleas
concerning the Constitutionality of all its acts.
Thus by these three elements combined, with the
ruthless and bloody spirit of the slave-holders
themselves, freedom and every freeman not
imbued with treason to his Government, were
to be brought low into the dust before the
monster slavery.
—Happily for the age in which we live andfor
the country of which wa are citizens, the conspi
racy is fast losing its ability for mischief. Ap
palling as I ave been its dreadful effects, results
would have proven still more direful, had it not
been for the vigor and the promptitude of the
National Administration. The vigor of the Pre
sident, displayed in just such orders as the one
relating to the treatment of negro troops, has
frustrated many a .rebel plan of barbarity. The
fear of retaliation anti' not a sense of justice or
humanity, has alone restrained the conspirators
from brutality worse even than that with whiob .
they have already bleared and bloodied the page
of history. Let this retaliation be persisted in—
let a rebel prisoner, for every negro sold into
slavery on account of his zeal for his country,
be consigned to "imprisonment and bard
labor, and the policy of the Davis oligarchy
of traitors will soon.be changL d, or the rebel
government wilLefon be without a soldier to
defend its atrocities'.
The Election in Kentucky Given Up
The Tory Organ, this morning, gives up the
election in Kentucky, because Gen. Burnside, a
life-long Democrat, has issued orders to the
effect that no man will be allowed to vote at
that election, who is suspected of fealty to the
cause of rebellion, unless he takes an oath of
allegiance to the National Ge'vernment. Ken
tucky is filled with traitors 'awl their sympa
thizers, who, combined, might possibly be able
to carry that State, and thus use the State Gov
ernment as it is used in New York and other
States where the same men have triumphed,
.
against tho war and the ; policy to beet down
rebellion. To guard against this, Gen. Burnside,
a Democrat, a Breckinridge Democrat, too,asks
that when objection is. made to a man
on account of his loYalty, by a qualified
voter, that he be demanded to swear allegiance
to the country in whose Government he de
sires to participate by the exercise` "of the fran
chise. To this no loyal man can object. And
because the Tory Organ perfectly understands the
extent of thetreavon influence in Kentucky, it
,of course alse Understands in the face of this
order; that. Kentucky will be saved from the
control of that influence at the coming election
in that State.
—Not only in Kentucky, but in,every state o
the Union, at every election hereafter to be
held, until treason has become completely erad
icated, a eimilar test oath to guaranty the exer
cise of the franchise, should be administered.
If, a similar oath were forced upon the friends of
Woodwird at the- election in October next, he
would not carry an election district in Penn
sylvania.

against the traitors in arms, are the Democrats
who are assisting in the command of the armies
of the Republic. Thus Burnside and Butler,
two extreme and radical Democrats, are the
most radical and extreme men in their opposi
tion to the `rebellion, and their measures to
crush out,the conspiracy all tend to the extinc
tion of slavery. While this is the fact with the
Democracy in therarmy, the politicians who
stand at the head of what is now called the
Democratic party, and who remain at home to

General Orders No. 262.
The following order of the President is pub
lished for the information and government o
all concerned:
Exnaurivs 'MANSION,
WASHINGTON, D. 0., July 30, 1863.
It is the duty of every Government to give
protection to its citizens, of whatever class,
color or condition, and especially to those who
are duly organized as soldiers in the public
service. The law of nations and the usages
and customs of war, as carried on by civilized
powers, permit uo distinction as to color in the
treatment of prisoners of war as public enemies
—to sell or enslave any captured person, on
account of his, color, and for no offense against
the laws of war, is a relapse into barbarism and
a crime against the civilization of the age.
The Government of the United States w
give the same protection to all its soldiers; and
if the enemy shall sell or enslave any one be
cause of his color, the offence shall he punished
by retaliation upon the enemy's prisoners in
our possession.
It is therefore ordered that for every soldier
of the united States killed in violation of the
laws of war, a rebel soldier shall be executed ;
and for every one enslaved by the enemy or
sold into slavery, a rebel soldier shall be placed
at hard labor on the public works, and contin
ued at such labor until the other shall be re
leased and receive the treatment , due to a Os.
oner of war. ABRAHAM. LINCOLN.

E. D. TOWNSEND,

MAILS WITH NZW ORLEANS 11.113MCD
In reply to an inquiry of the Post Office De
partment, Special Agent Gist, at Memphis, says
he has conferred with Captain Pattison, com
mandant of the navy yard, and Captaid Lewis,
assistant quartermaster of transportation,
and
they both concur with him that it will be safe
and expedient to send the Washington and
New York malls to'New Orleans by way of the
Mississippi river.
Arrangements have been made for a convoy
at least once a week from Vicksburg to New
Orleans,
,and convoys can be more frequent
when required by the necessities of trade or of
i,ublic interest.
The Postmaster General, however, does not
feel himself exactly justified at present in or
dering Ur% service. But if correspondents wish
their letters to go to New Orleans by way of
Cairo, they can make their endorsements upon
them accordingly, and they will be sent at the
risk of the writer.
THE DEATH OP GENERAL STRONG.
Brigadier General Ripley, Chief of the Ord
nance Bureau, has lesu-d an order announcing
the death of General George C. Strong, an offi
cer of that bureau. In noticing his death,
General Ripley says, in his order: 'First Reno,
and now Strong, both so well known to their
corps, and so highly appreciated for the intelli
gence, zeal and devotion which each brought
to the discharge of the particular sphere of duty
of his own branch of the service, no less ardu
ous and important, though lees brilliant and
striking, than that of the battle field, has each
crowned his career as a patriot and soldier
ought, in giving his like-blood to his country."

Gen. 13ufcrd's cavalry, artillery, and a sup
porting infantry force, crossed the RsPriahan
nook at the railroad station yesterday, and
thence '
with his cavalry and artillery, he pro.
needed towards Culpepper, driving Stuart's cav
alry force before him.
When near Culpepper Gen. Buford encoun
tered a large rebel force of infantry and artillery
and a fierce fight ensued, lasting until; dark,
when he withdrew to a strong position east of
Brandy Station. The loss on both sides was
considerable.
This reconnoissance confirms the reported con
centration of Lee's forces near Culpeper, and
indicates that his present headquarters are at
Stevensburg, four miles southeast of Culpepper.
The 29th sutler's wagons, captured near Fair
fax on Thursday night by Moseby and his band,
were recaptured, with all their contents, on
Friday morning near Aldie, by the 2d Massa
ohnsetta cavalry.
A skirmish ensued between the guerillas and
our advance guard, bat on the approach of the
main body Moseby fled closely followed by the
cavalry.
Several of the enemy are reported killed and
wounded, but no report has been received of the
result of the pursuit.
This morning a detachment of our cavalry
killed two and captured two others of Moseby's
band, near Nov Baltim3re, and were engaged
in ferreting out others. •
The weather` yesterday and to-day has been
by far the 'hottest of the season.

Marshal Phillips has completed the enroll
ment of the Thirteentherlistlict of this State,

and arrested a large number of deserters.
The Provost Marshal was obliged to place the
town of Marlon, the residence of Congressman
Josh Allen, the king of the copperheads in
Southern Illinois, under martial law. Pickete
were stationed around the town, and orders is
sued preventing persons from enteringor leaving
the place without passes. Allen attempted to
pass the guaTds, and was brought before Marshal
Phillips, when he demanded to know if a Con
gressman was obliged to obey the orders of a
petty provost marshal?
He was told all were sutject to the enrollment,
and no one could receive a pass without taking!,
the oath of allegiance to the United States Gov
ernment, which he refused to do, on the ground
that it would compromise him with his constit
uents', and force him to violate certain pledges
he bad made. He, therefore remains a pri.
