Peckham, John B. Lion; Hiram Young, Hord to Resist. In voting for Govemor of the State of Penn sylvania, at the coming October election, the fact that Andrew G. Curtin is a man, con- scientiously devoted to the preservation of the Union, the enforcement - of the law and the fnll•and unlimited operation of the Constitu tion, will be hard.to reaist. The fact that Andrew G. Curtin, has been and still is the Mend of the so!dier, claiming for him the right to exercise all the privileges of a citizen even while he is absent from the locali ty of his citizenship lending his aid in enforc ing the national law and periling his life to vindicate the national authority, will also be hard to resist. The fact that Andrew G. Curtin supported and still contibues to support the National Government in all its efforts to maintain its power and enforce its laws, and that such a support coming from one of the mightiest cf the sovereign States of the Union, has been one of the main influences contributing to our em cees in the field—our standing abroad, and our power at home, will iikewise be bard to resist. The fact that the State Goveininerit of Penn sylvania was never more wisely or eocincmical ly administered—its expenses reduced, its revenues abridged, will assuredly be hard 1O resist. These beneficial results—the good aimed at and accomplished by Andrew G. Curtin in the past, can only be prolonged by his election as Governor for three years to come.

JS tRA.TION Tax-Payers I Attention i i When Andrew G Curtin besumed the powei nd the duties of the Ex. eutive like of NMI - ylvallia, we will not eay that the condition of the State, in the various departments of hir government, in the industrial pursuits and corporate enterprises of the .people, was not prosperous. It was at a period of profound peace, notwithstanding it was at a time when the Democratic slave drivers of the south, with their dough face sympathizers of the north, were completing their plans to overthrow the National Government, IN THE YEAR 1862 THE RECEIPTS PROM °EDINA= 'UUl:Uf: , a4'i3~.vl~i9.T~irl'~a~~i~a»:(H i: kt~3ai:l { N'd Wry raom THR seam swans m 1861, ONE MILLION THIRTY THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX DOLLARS AND EIGHTY- rWO CENTS, (the excess of interest paid it 1862 over that of 1861 bang $144,095 87,] and that the ordinary expenses for 1862 were raarry-riva THOU- SAND THREE DIMMED AND SEVENTEEN DOLLARS AND sumac arra LESS THAN THE YEAR PREVIOUS!!! This healthy condition of the revenues and the excess of the receipts over the expenditures, ' secured by the rigid and general economy which was inshred upon by Governor Curtin in'every d partment of the State Government, induced him to recommend to the Legislature a, rev' don of the revenue laws, with a view to the legalising of the burdens of taxation. At the same time, Governor Curtin also recommended to the Legislature the justice and expediency of restricting the rate of local taxation, which has been and still is, in some parts of the Com inonwealtb, oppressive. Considering the increase of taxation by the' National Government, and considering, too, the enormdus enlargement of the war expenses, these figures at once redound to the credit of Governor Curtin and the people of Pennsylva nia. We want the tax payers carefully to pon der these facts. We want the tax rtayers to remember, in the first year of Andrew G. Cur tin's administration, THAT HI INOSSABBD THE HIVENIIHS ON THB STATE, OND MILLION, THIRTY THOUSAND, ONE HUN.

All this against his personal remonstrance and unavailing appeals to the officers. Bia loss is $l,OOO. Another friend says be had $1,500 of lumber prepared fur a building—but it was all used up for fires, al though he offered to furnish them wixxl gratis. One of your officers arranged with a farmer, on whose ground they were encamped, to board a certain number of men at the rate of 25 cents a meal, and has left the bill, about $75, un paid—besidel taking,when they left, the man's wagon. Another of your regiments, alongside of that one, ousted the farmer's family, killed every fowl on the place, slaughtered a pig in the house, scattered its entrails through the rooms, and defiled them still more. Scores and scores of your men went foraging the country round, stealing fowls. The lumber yards were need for fuel, when abundance of wood was ready to be furnished at every point. - These are only a few of many well attested instances. The rebels did no each things in their cccup Won of our valley. While this was going on over the Susquehan• us, our citizens were largely entertaining the soldiery. A gentleman, known to one of you, finding the quartermaster's squad of one of the' - regiments referred to, occupying the stalls of the market house, invited them to his vacant store room, which they occupied three weeks, without charge, and were lavishly fed and feted by our most opulent and valuable citizens. One , of my neighbors fed .as high as twenty at a meal, of the best a generous heart could devise —and in that household fully one hundred New ,Yorkers have enjoyed hospitality. Another I had as many.as sixty of your soldiers. And these instances could be multiplied ; and this at a time when many of our families, used to the most liberal hospitality, had fled, in alarm, and others were paralyzed with fear. We are UDCOII - as a people, of the inhospitality that has been wantonly chargt d upon us. It is inconsisten t with our history. Few places have been called upon to do as mdch for soldiers as Harrisburg— or have done as much for them. When the Government threw upon us, two years ago, the returned three months' men, we fed thousands —the rich and the poor vieing with each other in their hospitable endeavors. The efforts of our ladies, in behalf of the sick in our hospitals, have been systematic, continuoto and generous, and have elicited the highest podia in the high est quarters. I might mention many cases in which our lanies have taken the sick and woutidtd to their homes, and nursed them ear fully—even unto d eath. It should .be remembered too, that this strain on us has been kept up for years, wearing down somewhat cur sou sibrlity, if nut our benevolence. And pray, my dear sirs, why should Harrisburg he tainted with tue vice of Inhospitality? It h s gown up linden the beat educational, mural ud religious influences—having its drawbacks. f course, in its-position as a Sra'o calla!, sod the usual mount of human depravity,ss a resist ant forces agaihst such kiln, nom It would not nave done eitner of you brethren, harm, but • contrariwise bieesing," to have been "to tho' manor boru," or rt sticated part nf y our earthly tire here 1 "The lines have fallen to me in pleasaet placee," by a good Providence, and for widen I can never make recompense by toll, or eraler, or giving—but be at my dying day an es =ivent debtor to this i sterile. ; at.d 3on need Het vomiter that when she Is "wounded in the wise of her trieutie" h. t I should ere bk out. .Aye, look at het" "Beautiful for situation," will., her broad sheet of living water ' and meta d s. ttiegs, and nobie hill tots, and broad teache -4' fertile vane r 4, bud far reaching mountain i tutees and, and tier huspifattle homes I In south all this invidious talk about the comparative beep tali ty or courage, of this{ lace or that place, is unmitigated nonsense.

And why should not Harrisburg have its pro rata of them as well as Trenton, Newark, Newburg—or New York" In regard to cowardice, about which some our corempo raries have indulged some flings. your New York Seventh, (to whom be the highest mead of honor,)' it will be remembered, marched round Baltimore to reach Washington. We sent, soon after, 100 of our young men, (the Lochiel Grays,) who, en ?cute for the capital, baldly marched alone through Baltimore, with the first National/4 that was carried through after the riot of Apal 19th. In our State call for nine months' men, the first company organized and tendered for service was a Harrisburg one. We have sent forth our men by the hundred and thousand, for the armies of the Union, to all parts of the Union ; never congratulating ourselves particularly 'that they "marched to the rescue" of any section—having a whole country to care for; and the defence of any part of it being a defence of ourselves. I remark, en passant, that while your noble State deceives and receives our c - trdial thanks for their prompt march fur our defence ; yet let me say that the advent hereof a few of your regiments saved you the raising of a hundred more. Had the line of the Susquehanna been passed, you would have found war, indeed, menacing you, calling out your imperial cohorts to encounter rapine and slaughter. It proved to be simply a cheap expenditure of moral . force, without bloodshed—saving vast expenditures to you of treasure and blood. If our citizens did riot rally on the emergency as promptly in their own defence as would seem proper, yet is it not always the case in sudden invasion and riot, that the local population, unorganteti, is power less; else why did mob aw reign in your city for days when you had 50,000 men capable of bearing arms? I ma? remark, however, that in our population (only one fiftieth of yours) we did put 2,000 men under arms! I note your re mark about "hard tack and rye coffee for sub sistence.' It is enough for me to say that this "military department" was under a New York General, with a New York commissary, and the "subsistence" sent here from New York! And yet I have reason to believe, that the supplies were gobd and abundant—and the deficiencies of food, in almost all cases, grew out of the ne glect, incompetency or drunkenness of company and regimental officers. Companies, and even regiments, have be en left by such misconduct in want, and their men have gone round among low restaurants and groggeries and the gangs of small antlers who infest our camps, to suffer perhaps extortionate .prices. Hence many of the stories which have been circulated to our dames e—whrob, when - we sifted them out, in some cases proved to be mere root becks, or eue IV:tritons in small matters, practiced by persons not of our permanent population. Excuse the longitude of this article I could have more easily made it twice as long than shorter.

Recontoissance of the Rebels in Force Probable Evacuation of Culpepper and Gordonsville by the Enemy. Reported Revolt of the North EIMADQRARTRRS ARMY OF THU PuTOMAa, Va., August 16, 1863. A colored drummer deserted from Gen. Lee's army yesterday eirenoon and came within our lines. He reports that on Wednesday morning the whole of General Lee's army, w,th the ex ception of General A. P. Hill's corps, moved from Culpepper Court House by the Fredericks burg mad. He also confirms the stories of the tietuoralintion of the North Carolina, Tennes see and Alabama troops. Those from North Carolina in Hill's corps have openly revolted, and swear they will fight no longer. The Slississippi troops are clamorous to be sent home. The contraband deserter's story of the move ments of tbe rebel troops is fully confirmed by the reports from our scouts. On Saturd .y a large force of rebel infantry and cavalry, with some artillery, made its appearance on the south bank of the Rappahannock, above Falmouth. Another story is tnat they crossed at Fredericka burg on Friday night; butt consider the rrpurt of their crossing highly improbable. Deserters, refugees and prisoners are con stantly coming in from the robe! lines, and al confirm the stories of the great want of confi dence the rebel armies have in their govern ment, and say that the common talk In Ir2e'r army is that its niter antilt Ration is only a question of time. it is not generally thought that Lee intends to make any violent demonstration by this movement toward Fredericksburg; but rather that he is making a show of strength in our I ront to deter us from sending troops to Charles ton harbor or elsewhere. Gen. Humphreys, who is temporarily in com mand of the army, is fully aware of the rebel movements, if not of their designs ; and I may say, without treeepaseing upon forbidden ground, thA such disposition of our own forces has been made as will checkmate any_contem plated coup de main on their part. Brig Gen. Patrick's Post of Army Peovost Marshal is being filled very acceptably in his absence by Col. George Sharp. The stories set afloat from Washington that Gen. Patrick was about to leave the position he has so long and so ably filled are without foundation, though should the exigent. s of the service require him to take command of a division, the ability and experience of Col. Sharpe would point to him as the next Provost Marshal General. The lull of hostilities for the past few weeks hes been seized upon by the friends of various officials to prepare suitable tea irsouials of es teem. Captain Page, Quartermaster at general he:dquarters, was yesterday made the recipient of a beautiful sword, sash and belt by - the em ployees of his department, And a committee of army officers have obtained leave to go to New York to procure a sword for Major General Blade. From the amount raised for the pur pose, and the taste of the officers forming the committee, it is expected that the present wilt be one of the most c•stly and beautiful weapons that can be manufacture& The news from the front this morning is chewing, inasmuch as it points to the termina tion of cur term of non-action. file are all momentarily expeding orders to pull up stakes and vamose the raitche. Heavy tiring has been distinctly heard since three o'clock this morning in a southeasterly direction, apparently in the neighborhood of Hanks' or United States Ford, or possibly as far away as Fredericksburg. The tiring is rapid and constant. A battle is evidently going on, large bodies of troops were moving yesterday —marching and by rail; and that our advance has comerup with the enemy may safely be in ferred from-the noise this morning. This morning the enemy made a demonstra tiou on the left of our army, and heavy can nonading ensued for some time. No intelli gence concerning the results have reached Washington to-day ; but it is believed that the movement was nothing more than a re connoissance in force for the purpose of feeling our position. Lee's army is reported to be waving in a southeasterly course, and there can , beno doubt that the region about Culpepper and Gordons ville will soon be entirely evacuated by the enemy.
