Tu Mrs WHO FILL AT BAT:MORT, is the
title of a stirring poem from the pen of John
W. Forney, which we publish to-day. It
tireathes as well a requem as a revenge for the
immortal dead, which will be responded to by
~, all who read it, in the field and the camp, at
home and abroad. The author has been in
Washington ever since oar difficulties com
mewed, wielding his pen in defence of his
country, and landing his energies and council
to those who have hurried to the relief of the
administration and the capital. The people of
Pennsylvania appreciate the services and ability
of such men as John W. Forney, and they will
not bee slow tq,recognize them when triumph
distributes her honors.
WE stances for the liberty of the press and
the freedom of speech ! The American citizen
has no dearer or more tacred right—deprive
him of It and he Is a slave. The broad shield of
the Constitution and the laws should protect
every citizen everywhere within States and
Territories in the full and and free expression
of his opinions, subject only to legal restric
tions. The sword has been drawn and we hope
It never will be returned to the scabbard until
this dearest of rights is secured everywhere—
until southern men, if they desire, can take from
the post office and read northern newspapers,
without fear of tar or hemp—until men can de
clare in slave states that they are Republicans,
without being exiled or hung. This right per
tains to MIRY mum, rich or poor, Old Line
Whig, Democrat or Republican, and should be
secured and sacredly protected upon every foot
of earth over which our government claims jur
isdiction, in every State and territory. If it
takes forty years war to compel a recogniztion
-of this right, we say, let it go on.
CAPT. °Axes, one of the officers of the United
States army in Texas, has arrived in Washing
ton after traversing the southern Stites. He
says that the greatest military activity prevails
throughout the south. Troops are gathering
-at all the principal points. The men look well,
drill well, and are enthusiastic for their cause,
anclanxions to march on Washington.
Since the arrival of Captain Oakes, however,
other accounts have been received, that the
sontherti army is marching south, instead of to
ward Washington pity. Their enthusiasm is
not quite BO bonyant as when the Captain was
among them, because they have also been re
ceiving (accounts from the north. The rebels
depended entirely on the aid they were to re
alive from the north for their success, and since
that has failed, they declare now that their
only reliance is in seducing a northern army to
midst when yellow fever is abundant. In
this they' will also be disappointed. Jeff. Da-
Ms may expect to have that dinner of which he
did not partake in Washington city on theist of
may, carried down to him on the bayonets of a
northern army about the Ist of October next,
if his own remorse and the revenge of those
whom he is now misleading, do not drive him
a wandering vagabond into our midst foir shel
ter and safety.
WHICH CIVILIZATION Y
On the part of those who have inaugurated
this rebellion, it is asserted that they are con
tending for a civilisation. They declare that the
institution of slavery is a feature in dvilization
of divine origin, and therefore they claim for
it a supreme recognition by the government
and the people of the United States. This be
ing refused, or rather the fear of losing the in
fluence and prestige which slavery heretofore
possessed and enjoyed, the slave owner has en
tered on rebellion as the surest means of ac
complishing the recognition and establishing
the power of his civilization. A glance at the
merits of slavery as a feature in civilization, or
as an element itself, may therefore not be inap
propriate. In taking this glance it is not
necessary to state the precise period when the
civilizing influence of slavery began on this
continent. Admit that it was introduced by
the first white settler, and then give to it the
prestige which it claims, and where are its
achievements? In what work has it succeeded?
—what improvement has it made ?—and where
are the trophies it has wrested from barbarism,
or the good it has accomplished in the eleva
tion of races, the development of territory, the
recognition and improvement of the arts and
sciences, or the vindication and spread of the
Christian religion? All these constitute the
results of civilization, cultivated under wise
and liberal laws, and therefore we have a right
to demand how many of these results have
flowed from the civilizing influence of African
slavery on the western hemisphere. Take the
states of the old Thirteen Colonies that have
wedded their destinies with the civilization of
slavery, and where are they? Retrogading every
year—far behind the youngest of all the
proud commonwealths of this glorious
Union, and actually nothing more than
mere dependents on the bounty of a govern
ment at whose existence they now ungratefully
aim a fratricidal blow. Virginia, the oldest of all
the slave states—the oldest in power and influ
ence—is in reality the weakest and most imbe
cile of all the states in the Union, the result of
the civilizing influence of slavery. The cotton
states, where slavery constitutes the element
of society's main strength, and where the
white man depends entirely on such labor for
support, are unable properly to support their
local governments, and have been for years an
expense to the general government, for the
maintenance of their judiciary, the support of
their revenue officers, and the carrying of the
mails. In population, the State of,Virginia
cannot to-day muster , two hundred thousand
fighting men—and conceding that she could
raise such a force, she has not the means or the
credit to support such an army for six months.
Not one among the cotton States is able to
bring into the field and maintain as many
white men in the organization of an army, as
any one of the Congressional districts in any
of the free states can furnish and support for
the same period, and in the meantime keep in
operation all the departments of their labor,
produce as they produced in times of peace,
and without abatement continue their contri
butions to the support of the government.—
This is the civilizing influence of slavery in a
physical sense. Its moral influence will be de
cided by a higher tribunal than that of men,
on the testimony of its own victims, living in
abject poverty and ignorance, and dying in
utter misery and darkness.
The other civilisation against which the ad
vocates of slavery are now so bitterly con
tending, is that which recognizes labor as
an element in the government, and the only
source of Viet government's wealth and
support. The influence of this civilization
speaks for itself in the stupendous character of
its achievements, and the glorious benefits it
has spread wherever it has erected its banners or
proclaimed its truths. The civilization of the.'
free states needs no advocate or defender. From
glorious old Massachusetti to her youngest
deter on the far off shore of the Pacific, the
story is the same. The same grand improve
ments, the same spirit of progress, ever look
ing forward, ever gazing upward, characterize
that civilisation which Is crowned by freedom
and acknowledged by religion. It lathe civili
zation that has sustained the government of
the United States from its infancy to its present
embarrassments, and it is the civilization which
will eventually save the American Union.
Which civilization? One that seeks the eleva
tion of all men, one that seeks the promulga : .
Lion of religion by humanizing all races—one
that regards the end of government to be the
protection of the rights of its humblest citizen,
or one that makes slavery its test, oppression
its aim, and rebellion its object—one that
achieves Its only success in the degradation of
souls, or one that will elevate all men close to
God, in whose image they were created, and by
whose love and mercy they will be redemeed.
This is the difference, between the civilisations
that are about to contend for the mastery in
this government.
IZAMtOAI? CONDUCTORS.
There are no daunt men connected with the
great business enterprises and operations in the
Union who are so little talked of or remembered
as Railroad conductors. At this particular
period, when the citizens of the republic are
hurrying to and fro, when armies, instead of
marking, are hauled in battalions, le regi
ments and squadrons over our great lines of
railroad, the labor of the conductor is deemed
by most people of no more importance than
when the , travelling public was limited to the
business men of the country, or men of leisure
in pursuit okpleasure. In this commonwealth,
this increase of travel has been immense. The
Pennsylvania railroad is not only engaged in
transporting troops from our own State towards
the Federal Capital, bat that road carries also
the troops from the far west, those from the
north, and those from the east. This increases
the labor and the responsbility of the conduc
tor ; a labor and responsibility which had be
fore been sufficiently great for the remunera
tion received. With the increased travel, then,
there should be an equal increase in remunera
tion, if it has not already been done, because
by every law of justice thole who grow up with
and labor for the prosperity of great coriors.
tiona, should also prosper and share equally in
their positions with those who are .reap i ng .im
manse profits in diritiends.
PertnopWant° Wally telegraph, tiletnuottav Morning, „Map 8, 1861.
Considerable talk, in the way of insinuation
and innendo, has been uttered on the subject
of frauds which should have been committed in
various ways in the disbursement of public
money to defray the present military expenses
of the State. We have patiently listened to all
this talk, hoping, or rather pausing for a direct
charge to be made, and watching for the facts
and the individuals to "turn up," but as yet
we have not been furnished with a single well
defined or fairly supported statement in relation
to these alleged frauds that could possibly have
any bearing against either the accounting or
disbursing officers of the army of Pennsylvania.
We do not pretend to say that the state has
not suffered in some instances, and that more
money ha 3 been paid for "food and clothing"
than they were really worth, nor do we assert,
either, that such excess of price was owing to
the carelessness or dishonesty of those engaged
in there purchase. It must be borne in mind,
that the market has been run down, and that
holders of all kinds of goods needed to supply
an army are taking advantage of this demand.
And it must also be borne in mind that Penn
sylvania is not the only State preparing for
this conflict. We cannot control our own mar
kets, when the people of other states enter
them as competitors. The seller is bound to
sell to the highest bidder—so that those who
purchase, iyhen necessity is inflating prices,
have no cause to boast of their bargains.
If any man knows of any corruption, let him
come forward and state the facts within his
knowledge. We pledge ourselves to sustain
him in his efforts to protect the state, and we
dare also assert that Governor Curtin will hear
patiently any honest and honorable repre
sentation that can be made of this subject.
While we honestly believe all these charges to
emanate from those who really desired to
speculate on the necessities growing out of this
crisis, but who were frustrated, and have thus
become vindictive, we yet challenge the accu
sers, and demand the proof.
The amount of money disbursed in this con
nection must be audited before a dollar can be
drawn from the. Treasuay—and when those
who are engaged in contracting for furnishing
any kind of supplies to the army remember
that Thomas E. Cochran Is the Auditor General,
we have a notion that they will be careful in
their charges and additions. A more faithful
public servant than the Auditor General does
not exist in the country.
There is not a point of any prominence I n
the State of Pennsylvania, scarcely a hill or a
public house top, that has not flung from i t
the gorgeous folds of the flag of the stars and
stripes. It has suddenly become the glory of
the young, the pride of the brave, and the en
dearing object of old men and dear old wo
men's veneration. It has been blended withr
our dress, beautifies our dreams, and stirs alike
our emotion of love, patriotism and religion.
It envelopes our altars in a sheen of almost
hallowed beauty. It covers our shrines with
invincible inspiration. It is the theme of our
songs, the subject of our eloquence, and the
emblem of our majesty, strength and freedom.
Never before has banner or flag elicited such
devotion, commanded such respect, or wielded
such a magical influence over the hearts and
hands of men. Peter the Hermit rallied Eu
rope to arms under the banner of Ike Cross.—
.Salladin led his followers to gory graves be
neath the Cresent. St. George on Brittain's
banner has aroused many an Englishman's
heart in the hour of battle. The Eagles of
France, reared above her advancing legions,
have pointed armies to glory and almost mill
ions of men to death. The triple-heads of
Austria command, but do not win devotion.
And thus with all the banners of the nations
of the world, men cling to them because they
are compelled to do so by stern necessity—we
rally to our flag, and support it, and defend it,
and die by it, because we love and cherish it
as the emblem of that freedom which points
man to a higher faith, a nobler existence, a
citizenship in Heaven !
The flag of the free, the glorious stars and
stripes, will never be trailed in the dust, either
at the summons of a foreign army or the com
mand of traitors. It may be lowered in bat
tle, but it will never cease to float in defeat.
It will be recognized and respected while there
is a freeman left to stand erect In the presence
of his God, and when it ceases to float in glory,
it will be above the conflagration and wreck of
the destroyed universe 1
Benin oas seems to have been benefitted by
the advice which Mr. Lincoln gave her Com
missioners, that, if they the people were true
to the Union, he would be true to them. Even
the Baltimore Sun, formerly a rabid secession
sheet, has yielded to reason, and now discourses
as follows :
Ova sosrrios AND Durr.—lf we put out of
view the affair of the 19th of April, our citi
zens will more readily understand the relation
we occupy to the general government. Mary
land is in the Union, is still one of the United
States, and will, in all Probability, remain so
for an indefinite period of time. Consequently
any set which is in contravention of the gen
eral government, is really an act of rebellion;
and though any, may be disposed, from views
that may be entertained individually, to regard
the seceded States as only exercising a right,
and therefore not in rebellion against the gov
ernment, we certainly cannot say the same for
ourselves in any overt act of opposition to the
lawful purposes and designs of the administra
tion. Any act onnpr part of violent resistance
to the general government, is, with the status
we hold, an act of-rebellion: and if we except
to any action of the general government upon
the soil of Maryland, our redress must • be had
through the appointed means, and by the Con
gress of the United States. It is well to under
stand our position, while at the same time we
can but regard the pressure of the government
as against Maryland, both illiberal and unkind.
But so long as we are in the Union, and, for
aught we know, that relation may be perpetu
al, it is our duty to obey the laws of the
United States.
