HARRISBURG, PA
Thursday Afternoon, April 18, 1861
Pennsylvania in the Capital•
The first troops that arrived in Washington
city, in obedience to the proclamation from the
President, will be those that left Harrisburg
to-day. While the readers of the TELrortavn
are engaged in digesting its contents, the troops
from the old Keystone State axe unfurling their
banners in Pennsylvania Avenue, ready and
willing to defend the capital of their country
at all bawd& •
thele 9r-tlie'Troops.
Weer lookcoirtans we give a full account
of the troops that departed hence for Washing
too Ws jo•day. A More gallant collection of
nuensmilaolt shoulder to shoulder beneath
any banner,- representing all classes of the
commtnit3i, all professions, trades and voca.
thole.Atefore departing, these volunteers were
all sworallo support the Constitution and Gov
ernment OE' their country, and to defend, to
the last, the property and peace of the land.—
The oath was administered by Captain Sim
mons, of the U. B. A., who has been detailed
by the Government at Washington to superio r
tend the departure of troops from this point.
In this connection we may add that the State
government is actively engaged in pushing for
ward the departure of troops from other points
as fast as companies present themselves with
the necessary quota of men. The feeling in
Pennsylvania is one of intense desire to support
the federal authorities, and vindicate the na
tional honor. Let our countrymen in Wash
ington be of good cheer. The eons of the he
roes of Brandywine and Lake Erie are hasten
ing to their support.
As it Should Be.
Treason has no longer an apologist among
us. The people all unite in the free States in
the resolve to crush the traitors. Even in the
slave States, where freedom of speech is re
strained, and where the leaders of this un
grateful outbreak have taken possession of the
press and the pulpit, forbidiag a printed word
or a prayer lit favor of the Union, the masses
are becoming dissatisfied, and the mutterings
of impatience and discontent arc daily warning
the traitors of their doom. But as the traitors
commenced the war, as they fired the first shot,
it is right and absolutely necessary that they
should be made to feel the force of their trea
son. Let not all this preparation and honest
abolition of patriotism be permitted to pass off
in a compromise and a concession to the slave
power. Its advocates at the South and their
allies at the North, must be humbled. They
naustbe.brought to acknowledge the suprema
cy of the Government, and taught such lessons
of obedience as will forever keep their firey
seal for revolution within the bounds of law
abiding and law-respecting allogience.
The Underrated North
The peaceful pursuits of the people of
the North, running through all the chan
nels of agricultural labor and mechanical
industry, have led them almost noiseless
ly along the path of development and
prosperity. In this particular while the pee•
pie of the North and the great North-west have
been silently achieving the most stupendous
results in the building of cities, navigation of
rivers, organisation of counties, and founding
of new commonwealths, the more impetuous
and more boisterous citizens of the South, who
love to talk of their prowess in fight and valor
in arms, have been underrating the people of
the North and the West. They have been
taught to do so by a class of politicians who
imagined that the theory of political economy '
WAS only realized when the "Southern heart"
was "fired with the torch of Southern chival
ry," and that only those who regard human
life as cheap as dog's meat, and poured out hu
man blood es recklessly as they poured out "red
eye whisky," were accounted brave men. Be
cause a Northern men has a holy horror of
taking the life of a fellow creature on a trivial
ofbece, he was esteemed a coward. 'Under this
misapprehension and low estimation of the
Northern character and impulse, a great part
of the length to which the rebellion at the
South has gone must be attributed. The mis
guided people in that region have been hood
winked and deceived by their leaders, who
have taught them that the North and West
would yield to all their demands before the
echo of the first gun fired in battle bad been
lost among our hills and mountains. When
the sound of the marching army from the
North, animated with the virtuous energies of
a noble purpose, and imbued with a holy zeal
ead love of country, reaches the mistaken peo
ple of the cotton States, their leaders will be
he first to desert them. The great mass of the
people in the South cannot comprehend the
strength and the magnitude of the free States.
They know less of us than they do of the Bo
man Xinpire—because the medium through
which they could derive information of the
splendor, magnificence and physical strength
of the free commonwealths, a free pun, is like a
sealed book to the people of the South.
Let us hope that the changes which this re
bellion may be instrumental in effecting in the
South will number among them the privilege
of circulating a free press among its people.
Let us hope that when the horror nd preju
dice, which have been erected and created by
interested politicians, have been removed, and
the free leboring men and mechanics of both
sections are brought into closer contact, they
will strengthen the bonds of Union by the
frieudehip and reciprooaities of wants and in
terests. When all these are accomplished, the
power and iefluence of demagogues will have
passed away, and the free end mighty North,
joining hinds with the redeemed and regener
ated South, will lake their place, bound to.
getber by the holiest ties, on the road to peace,
prosperity and empire ?
WE An ON THE EVE OF GREAT EVINTA—
The policy of the Government has been die
olOsed.. It has avowed itself incapable of ag
gression and will therefore submit to no inter
ference in the rightful exercise of its authority,
in territory which it acquired at the expense of
its own blood and treasure, or by-treaty and
purchase. Either this Government must be
utterly annihilated, its faith with other nations
destroyed, its credit in business wiped out, its
dignity humbled, or the rebellion at the South
crushed so effectually that treason hereafter
will not dare to raise its head or blow its breath
In publio or in private, in the council chambers
or the belle. of justice of this nation. There
must be no conciliation with treason—no terms
but what imply positive submission and obe
dience, offered to traitors. If this government
cannot carry out this policy, enforoe the laws
and re-assert its power in the States that are
now in rebellion, it will fail in accomplishing
any other object of a substantial and practical
character. If it cannot convince the people
of the South, by a vigorous prosecntionkof the
war they have themielves inaugurated, that
the power which they resist is the source-of.
their prosperity and safety it must end this.-re
bellion in some other manner than a mere

in their achie4Rent 'after the punishment
of treason, comes the more peaceful and more
congenial task '6f - disabusing the minds:of those
who have, been blinde4 by 'the prejudices and
ignoraniespf the most degrading institutions.
After the -political tyranny has been broken
that has Wiled the people of the South, comes

held in a 'bondage alibost as abiolute as that of
slavery. .'"Wtiere hds been'accomplished, a
new era 'vela the Slave States, and a
new Agee. wilk-entei , into their enterprises. As
it is now, the classes ivho rule in that section
regard all labor as incapable of governing, and
reject the dootqne which seeks to make the
productive industry of a nation an element in
its government. Truly, then, the event which
brings out/this influenceirrtheSouthern.States,
will be startling, and most startling to those
who will come under its strange and mighty
power. In tlie present juncture of affairs, this
element is entirely blinded in Its prejudices. It
is carried away by the passions with which it
has been impregnated by those who use it for
theirownpoliticalaJvancement. Debarredof the
influence of ir free press—deprived in most of
the States of a direct participation in the gov
ernment, the w.hite laboring men and mechan
ice in the regions of rebellion, must first be
made to understand that the cause in which
they are engaged is not only against a govern
ment they are bound by every generous impulse
and noble motive to , support, but that the very
principle for which they are now contending,
slavery, if not curbed in its aggression,
eventually absorb them in its machinations,
til atiabotentl fill rostetpise are made sub
ject to'"the Tron rule and will of the alive
power.
The civilized world will watch this contest
between slavery and freedom, with mingled
feelings of wonder end keen expectations for
the result. The spectacle of the people of a
nation, contending with the government of
that nation for the maintenance of slavery,
has never before been presented to the world.
It has been reserved for the people of this
country to present that strange anomaly, and
we rejoice that the issue has been made when
the world, as it were, was in repose. The
breathing masses who linger beneath the yoke
of tyranny in the older governments of Europe,
have been accustomed to turn their gaze to
wards this nation, when indulging in hopes of
freedom. They have looked here for a refuge—.
but it seems that the experiment of man's
qualification for self-government has not been
fully tested, and that it must again pass through
the fire of battle. We have no fear for the re
sult, when the merits of the case are fully un
derstood in the South. We have no fears for
the people en that region when they understand
that the Federal Government is not drawing
the sword on them, but on the tyrants in their
own midst. Events will prove that the people
there are misled, if the policy of the govern
ment in this war, is made distinct and emphatic
as to their relation to the people In the South.
If the traitors themselves are promptly dealt
with—if they are exhibited in the true position
on the gibbet which their crime merit, that
event, startling and terrible as it would be,
will end this war of ambition and lust for power,
and reinstate the country in all its former peace
and prosperity.
WR HATS A TRAITOR AND DORM A COWARD!
If we were to try to do otherwise, it would be
impossible—and therefore we have always re
garded the kneheart Volunteer, published at
Carlisle by John B. Bretton as the vilest and the
most contemptible sheet in the broad State of
Pennsylvania. John B. Bretton is the Post
Master at Carlisle, sworn to support the Con
stitution and the Government of his country,
and yet in the Volunteer of to-day he openly in
vites the suspicion of perjury by boldly advo
eating the cause of secession, and denouning
the efforts of the administration to quell the
rebellion at the South. The sickly advice to
the people of Pennsylvania to support Abra
ham Lincoln comes with an ill grace from a
man who denounces the President of the United
States as "a poor imbecile," yet it will not sur
prise the people of this city to learn that John
B. Bretton has turned his teeth and opened his
rancor on the government of his country, be
cause of all other men known to them, he is
despised as the most contemptible andungrate
ful. Under the control of Bretton the Volunteer
was one of the most passionate of all the jour
nals in this State that supported Brechinridge
—but unlike Breckinridge, Bretton and hisco
temporaries in treason have not the courage to
draw their swords on their country, contenting
themselves with assailing their country's most
faithful servants. Out on such hypocrisy,
cowardice and treason!

Pennsylvania ;Daily 4Celegrapt), (114ursbay 'Afternoon, 'April 18, 1861.
We have always been taught to speak low
when the name of Virginia was mentioned.
There was something mysteriously noble and
grand and glorious in the spoken words of the
Old Dominion, and we could not resist the re
verence with which it inspired us. To this
feeling we do not particularly object now, but
If there is to be any distidction in high regard
and respect for any particular Commonwealth
in this momentous cilais, let that distinction
be cast at the feet of Maryland—brave and
glorious little Maryland, that has witbstood
the temptations of treason, and so nobly cast
herself and the interests of all her people in
the breach between her country and revolution.
The people of the free States can never suffi
ciently repay the Union loving patriots and
gallant citizens of Maryland. They have been
the preservers of the Union for more than a
year. They have kept the traitors from the
porches of the Capitol for the last six months,
and to-day, true to their ancient faith and prin
ciples of unity, they are as firm in this adhe
rence as are those who 'regard the Union of
.these States as of as much importance as the
success of the*hristian religion.

nothing through the same channel. Under
these circumstances, Maryland is worthy of our
admiration. Hereafter she will take her place
in the Union as that Commonwealth which, in
the hour of peril, cast aside her prejudices, and,
nobly stood by the Constitution and laws of
the country. All honor, then, to Maryland I

TEM COURBII or 118$TTICS.Y.—Breckiaridge,

create the imprevion that Kentucky is going
out of the- Union. The Louisville Journal of
Monday, two days after 'the war coma:Mooed,
is ont.strongly in favor of the Administration,
devoting several long editorials to the subject.
The prinoippl one concludes as follows :—"Ttlis
Administration is not of our choosing. We did
dot help,to bring it into power.. It is composed
of our deadly political foes. It is the Adminis
tration picked and eltcted by the revt.lutionists

forth its energies to preserve itself. Under
such circumstances, we should deem ourselves
lost to all sense of patriotism, and lost to all
sense of human dignity, if we did not pray that
wise and just counsels might guide the Ad
ministration, and stand by it fearlessly when
they do. Such is our fervent prayer, and such
will be our conduct."
Mrs. Mary Gaines is thus described, asahe ap
peared at a late 'residential levee, leaning on
the arm of a young gentleman, a relative of
her family : "Her figure short and slight; her
weight is perhaps one hundred pounds. She
wore a Quaker-colored watered silk dress, cut
low over a full bust ; the very thort sleeves re
vealed a finely proportioned and fair white arm,
that would have graced the belle of the assem
bly. Though her age is about fifty, no one
would have estimated it over thirty-five. khe
wore bright gold bracelets upon her wrists.
Her hair, which is black and glossy, was con
fined in a netting of gold lace, and two long
bright curls fell upon either shoulder. Her
eyes are black, restless and expressive. Two
small ostrich plumes, of white and blue, were
partially concealed in the dark folds of her hair.
Her" step is elastic, her manner graceful. She
Is very conversational with her acquaintances,
and her countenance indicates unusual iutellec
tual ability." When to this it is added that
she has a snug little fortune of ten or twelve
millions, what a charming widow she must be.
ENLISTMENTS Loummus.—The New Or

New Orleans hat; to furnish all the men and
money from that State for the Confederate
army. It says:—" Why should the parish of
Orlearis bear all the brunt of the precipitate
secession movement, both in fighting men and
money? Those fire-eating secession parishes
throughout the State that took so active a part
in the precipitate movement, should now show
their hands, and furnish at least their quota of
fighting material. Up to this moment we have
not heard of a single parish in the State, out
side the parish of Orleans, that has tendered a
single company, or a single Man to the Copied
ate army. If the city of New Orleans has to
pay all the money, and do all the fighting for
the State, the sooner the city separates from
the State, the better."
