At a meeting of the Union citizens, held on Friday evening lest, the following, gentlemen were appointed a committee to Make suitable arrangements for a public procession for the purpose of escorting Dr. Tnoaus ST. CLAIR, the Union Senator from the Indiana district, to the Senate chamber, this evening, viz: George Bergner, Chairnian; Gen. Knipe, Gen. 'Williams, Col. Jennings; Col. Worn:di, D. A. Balt, • Jno. Lowry, Alex. Koser Col. tTnp. Wallower Daniel Muench, Frank Darby, Daniel Hull, J. C. Young. At a meeting Of committee 'Saturlay morn.; ing, it was unanimously resolved to invite all the Union men of Harrisburg and vicinity to meet at the Court House this (MONDAY) Ey-E -NING at half-past six o'clock, at the ringing of the Court House bell, for the purpose of escorting the' Union Senator, Dr. Sr. CLAIR, to the Senate chamber. In accordance with the above, all loyal men in the city are respectfully invited to meet at the place designated, and join the procession. Col. JABLES WOBRALL has been appointed Marshal, and will make all propei arrange ments. Let the loyal men turn out in their strength and show the Copperhead Senators that their days are numbered, and that the, Wheels,_ of Government cannot be stopped by their -trai torous course in future. - GEO. .EEI3GliErt, Chairman of Committee The TCst of Loyalty in Paying Claims for Dartutges Incurred by the Rebel Raids. The debate on this question, in the House, has elicited many able speeches•for and against the resolution on the subject. In fact, if the mover of the resolution, originally, had de signed to test the loyalty of legislators them selves, he could not possibly have proposed a better plan than this resolution has proven., This morning we print the speech of P. Fraser Smith, of Chester county, in support of ap plying the test of loyalty to every man who brings a claim for damages against the. Gov ernment, alleged to have been committed, during the different raids of the rebels into the State of Pennsylvania. Mr. Smith earnestly supports the justice of the loyalty test. 4e does so in a speech of great ability-4 speeel which, we candidly believe, covers the whole ground' of the issue, and leaves no room • for reply in opposition. None of our readers should fail to peruse this speech, as well for its sound arguments as for Iris high toned elo quence and pure patriotism.' Personal and Political. The effort to create a rivalry between cer tain members of the Cabinet and the Presi dent, for the.succession to the Presidency, has , • been exposed by the disclosures_in relation to the Pomeroy-Chase circular. Mr. Chase de nies all kmoWledge of that' circular, and of course, by this denial, ,admits his. disapproval of the scheme. Mr. Chase is too sagacious a man not to see that the aspirants to the Pres idency who are jealous of Mr.,4ncoin's'popu larity, seek to use him (Chase). to'damage the cause of Mr. L., and while they are thus dam aging the President, they hopealso, in propor portion, to. damn Mr. Chase. The only es cape tor the great financier is to repudiate his false friends and come out 'boldly for Old Abe. Will he do so ? ' The Rochester Democrat, mentioning a visit of Joseph Leffel, of 'Springfield, Ohio, to the' former city, says: "He is the smallest busi floss man in the world, and indeed is . quite . an atom as compared with Gen. Tom Thumb, Mr. Leffel being only forty-four inches in height, and weighing but fifty-five pounds ! Mr. Leffel is now thirty-two years ,of 'age.— He is an intelligent, able bodied, , handsome featured man, and sports a' moustabhe that would really do credit to the Saitch giant. He has filled the office of supervisor iu Spring- field,, and is regarded as one of the most, pub lic spirited citizens of that place." He' is about to marry Miss Sarah E. Balton, who is smaller than Mrs. Thumb, and was formerly Dolly Dutton's maid of honor. Col. Fry, the Provost Marshal General, will be superseded, as the new Enrollment law requires a Brigadier General, unless the Fresi: dent shall promote him, which he is not likely to do, as the intention of the law was to get around the necessity of retaining. Col. Fry in that position. Palmerston's crint. con. case has been ad justed by the., prosecution being withdrawn, the pecuniary claims of the wionged individ nail being satisfactorily comilied Governor Andy Johnson and`the Terunissee delegates have had an interview with Presi dent Lincoln, on the subject of restoring Ten nessee to the Union. They did not favOr the President's plan. . . It is not generally known that the sailors of the Confederate navy are not provided with clothing by the Government, but are obliged to purchase it for themselves out of their small wages The increase of the pay of soldiers has been under consideration of the House Military Committee. Nothing definite has'been done, but it is thought the matter will be compro mised. at $2O per month. Governor Pierpont has ,no longer any ob jection to the recruiting of colored men in Alexandria. He says as much in`a letter to Preaklent Lincoln. A sinidar trial is going 'on at Richmond,. being no less than of an embalmer for smug gling liire:corres . rtorth pn coffins General Bragg has arrived iri Riehmond, to which place he had been ordered. now are Newspapor.Publishers to Live! In the war for the Union, rid class of man in the country have been compelled to make greater. sacrifices, •thin the newspaper pub lisher of the reountry. In the first place, typos have a penchant for a soldiers' life not :pcissiiiised by any other profession or mechan inal pursuit. Even when the nations are at peace, printers and publishers and editors are engaged in a moral conflict with error—in a fight with wrong—in a great struggle for right and freedom..= Accustomed, thus,to. a life of antagonism, fight in defence, of the Government, was the - signal-for:theZepletionoteverne*Lioffice.: in the free States—leaving in ninny; of..isuch establishments only "devils' who were unfltfor military service, Or. Scribe's Who were tig; blind or too decrepid for the Manual of arms, to do all the labor of "settingrip" and "puttingtut" newspaper publications. Then before the other branches of industry severely felt the pressure ',of the . war times, newspaper pulilishers were hard put;to for ".hands;!' were compelled to pay increased 'prices for compo sition, and by the time other trades and pro , fessions were proposing to arrange prices with their artizans and employees, - the pub lishers'Of the country were . paying -those in their, employ--largely increased rates. Nor was it for labor alone, that the publishers were thus compelled to yield an increase. Material went • up with labor. The paper. makers entered.. into a combination, and fora long time controlled the market to'isuit their own avarice;:' demanding and receiving prices for materials which could then and can only no* be characterized as exorbitant: Newspaper Publishers, however, have' battled under all this' immense pressure and fought every combination of capital to speculate on, their energy. The country- needed a loyal, press to defend - and uphold its cause before the people. Without the; support; .which the loyal journalists of the•land have yielded, the Government, it would haire,gone to pieces in the'first yeni of the struggle with rebellion. .The patriotism of the independent and loyal journalist was, in fact„ the back bone of the Gclverninent. It -was such journalists who welcomed- and sustained. every., polipy of vigor —wild made sacrifices such as no other set of. =business Men could make, and who are again called npon.toittteit their patriotism` by still greater ziacrifices: ~.A.ndi t hey will yield without a murmur, Mit be for the benefit of the Gov-. eminent to do so. —The'inniouncement that the paper maker? and type familiars have again raised the price of. _their material, has elicited what we have, -written above. Our patrons will learn - from this, that we are cOmpelled daily, to give:the largest share of our inoome to the -paper maker.and the type- founders. How many of our cotemporaries will be able to meet this pressure,., time must prove. It is certain, however; :that the increase will beggar many an honest publisher, and leave his energy blasted by leis intihility'fa Meet the demandsof the im mense lop/insofar the material , to conduct his business: :c The Qrginizati?n , of Another Regiment _ Spinigp:iliooteirs. Maj. JohnH. Stoves, bkthe 10 . 6thKeg. P. V., has received authority through the .Governor of. Pennsylvania, from the Secretary of War, for the organization of an additional penn sylvania Kegiment, to be detailed for speoial duty in one: of the great armies now operat ing against , the'rebbl capital. - This is the only entirelyuew regiment, that. ill. be,,,organizad under. the late - call for. .troops, and. the thoritY was granted toMaj. Stover beeause of his long, itduable and gallant .service in the field. .IThe recognition:of these services is at once an act of justice to Maj. Stover, .as well Is the proof that the War Dspartraent is anxious to bring out the vary 'best fighting material in the old Keystone Stat e , to be wielded in ihe important .approaching-spring campaign. —Our .personal acquaintance with Major' Stover warrants us in recommending him to the confidence and'the support of the fighting men of., the COm*onwealth. He has seen much' active, hard service in the•field. Oe is a thorough soldier, familiar with all the de tails and iequirernetits Ofthe soldier: thus, those who will place themselves under his conunand, .may ,rely upon following a soldier in the field, andbeing cared for by a man in camii. We wiped our recommendation then of Major Stover ;.araltrust that he mayjsalize his expectation of leading~a regiment of picked Pennsylvanians into .the field, to engage in coUtributing'to the success which our armies are expected to achieve in the early spring campaign. , That Draft. .what justafla' ble , ,authoritlr did .the shoddy organ declare that the A.dmmistration does not contemplate another draft? We , gave our reason .for believmg that another draft was close at - hand—why' does the shoddy organ shrink from giving its authority? Be cause it uttered a falsehood when it made the asse*on. Because it has , no authority to refer to.—Tory 074 an.. —You gave your reason, did you ? If so, it is the first display of reason on your part since the organization of your friends and allies, the slave ifriiers,lo destroy the Gov ernment. But •whatever may have been the reason you gave, JO' ProVe that the_ Govern ment contemplated another draft, after the quota of troops now, called for has been filled, your object, was to interfere with the alaciity and the enthusiasm with which* the people are now volunteering. Nothing, in the course of the war, so affects and intensi fies copperhead sympathy with treason; as the spectacle of •a. free people rushing to arms to crash a slave-holders' rebellion.- To divert thiq enthusiasm, the Tory Organ seeks to create the imPression that another draft for adclitionartroops Will be made. If this im pression can be Made upon the public mind, the hope is that the liberality now- displayed in paying beunties will be stopped t on ;the plea that whatever a district may now famish it will still' be liable to future drafts under future calls and apportionment of quotas. It seems to us too, that the course adopted by the Tory Organ to dePress the ardor "of the masses as it is displayed in the present rush to arms, is a part of tboileroiteiitt the . , 'cent meeting of the - Kidd - Ida of the Golden Circle, in the Land Office in this city. But before malting our opinion up fully as to whether it is obeying the dictation of the Knights on this subject, we must, wait for further developments in its columns. Jams T. Rum, Representative in Congress from the Centre district, has incurred the dis pleasure of the tories who voted for him at the. last election, because he has not provcia recreant to hisc - former - professions. - We knew that the Democraey WliO:voted for Rale, 4gte-break-down-the.Abolition flhrty,"__would catthi f e tartar, as no man in the Union is truer to the principles of freedom, fiercer in his hatred of the eauses of rebellion, than. James T. Hale. The very fact that he is now hated by the enemies of the Government corn mendshim once more to his old friends and admirers. ' J 39 TeCearctpQ. From our Evening Edit4On of Yesterday.
