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. Let every
voter remember these facts !

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,

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

butler on the stabs from the garret to the cel
-1 and made pi ivies of the ch„imbors. In that
mineoiate neighborhood a Mend of mine, who
offered hospitality to all who came, had his
house occupied, every door in it tut two broken
off, his library destroyed, his carpets and large
stock of linens carrie .1 off, his valuable papers and
dockets as a magistrate torn up. his fence palings
burned up; and such general destruction com
mitted that, he tells me, he bas to go to house
keeping afresh. 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.

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. "Out of the abundance of my heart"
I I have written as briefly as ~I could.`'

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

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

Brig Gen. Patrick's Post of Army Peovost
Marshal is being filled very acceptably in his

about to leave the position he has so long and

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.

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.
