HARRISBURG, PA
Friday Afternoon, May 10, 1861
To ARM, equip, and provide a well appointed
force of one hundred thousand, including camp
equippage, artillery, horses, munitions, &c.,
and two months' provisions, will cost twenty
five millions of dollars ; and this for five hun
dred thousand men is one hundred and twenty
five millions. For six months' service, includ
ing transportation, this sum must be doubled.
GOVBRNOR CURTXN must be careful of his repu
tation in these days of slanderous attacks and
suspicions praise. The assault of an open and
frank opponent, is not so dangerous as the sly
praise and sickly adulation of a secret enemy.
The Patriot and Union can do the Governor
more harm by commendation, than it succeeded
in doing during the last campaign, when it at
tacked him personally, socially, as well as po
litically.
Mesoaro SncEssioN.—At a convocation of the
Chapter of Royal Arch Masons. of the Stet* of
Georgia, which closed its session in Augusta on
the 26th ultimo, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That the connection heretofore ex
isting between the Grand Chapter of Royal
Arch Masons of the State of Georgia and the
General Grand Chapter of the late United
States of America be and the same is hereby
dissolved.
THE Slims correspondent of the Pittsburg
Chronicle was doubtless unwashed and uncomb
ed when he wrote his letter from York, dated
May 6th, or his opinion of Harrisburg would
have been different He should also have ex
pressed his dissatisfaction before he left, and
the city council might perhaps have provided
for his especial comfort. So far as our observa•
tion has extended ; we believe that the people
of this city have done as much, if not more,
than the people of any other city in the State,
for the accommodation of volunteers, the silly
assertion of the Chronicles correspondent to the
contrary notwithstanding.
A CORRESPONDENT from Montgomery, the
principle nest of the traitors, writing to the
Baltimore Dispatch,, says :
"Mr. Seward, Secretary of State, forwarded,
some days ago, to the Hon. Robert Toombs, a
Copy of Lincoln's blockade proclamation. View
ing it as an official courtesy, the Secretary of
State here enclosed a copy of President Davis'
proclamation in reference to privateering, in a
government envelope, in return. There has
also been officially sent a copy of the Presi
dent's Message, from which Mr. Lincoln can
gain much instruction.
In return for the information which Mr. Lin
coln is expected to derive from the message of
the arch-traitor, he should instruct the Secre
tary of the Interior to send Jeff. Davis a halter,
as.the best indication of the policy of our gov
ernment after reading his message.

Fon Tama !km.—ln our issue of Monday
afternoon, May 6th, we published a list of vol
unteer companies which have offered their ser
vices to the goternment. Owing to the reasons
we then mentioned, that list was not complete,
several companies having been omitted, among
which were the Northumberland Volunteers,
Capt. James Taggart, from Northumberland
county, who offered their services April 23(1,
1861, on the first requisition. When this re
quisition was afterwards increased, this com
pany again offered their services May 2d, but
were not accepted. These gallant fellows,
determined not to be outdone in their devotion
to their country, again offered their services
May 6th, this time for three years, and are ex
ceedingly desirous of being accepted. We hope,
in filling up this requisition, they may be grati
ed. Our country wed never fear any foe while
she has such brave sons to protect her.
To Aimee that a nation represented by one
flag, one army, one navy, one embassy, was a
mere collection of nations was to ignoreiall
reason. As a national unit it could command
respect abroad, enforce obedience, and secure
credit, but as a bundle of sovereignties held by
a rope of sand, would have been blighting to
its power and prosperty. It is this faith in
the national consolidation and unity which is
now at stake. It is a question of national life
or death. It involves the existence and perpe
tuity of Republican government. We are now
to decide for all time, whether we shall secure
to our descendents an unbroken inheritance,
or leave to them a legacy of perpetual strife
and anarchy.
TIIR REACTION.
When the reaction comes that must assured
ly follow the inflated and inflamed state of
public feeling in the south, we will learn more
of the history of secession than we are taught
by the developments and desperation of the
present hour. The few men who are now prom
inent in this rebellion, are not its leading
spirits. There is a machine at work behind the
pompous Jeff. Davis, however unwilling he
would be to admit the fact, which some day
will disclose its working parte by an array of
accusations against names that will-startle the
country with horror, and shake the confidence
of honest men in their fellow man. The idea
that this rebellion was a mere political move
ment, will also be dispelled by this reaction,
and we have no doubt whatever that the di
vulging of the true merits of this treason will
exhibit the fact that commerce had a large
share in the plan to overthrow the federal
government, and that while this conspiracy
was hatch mg at Charlestou, a certain class of
men at the mirth were liberally contributing
their sympathies and their money towards the
success of the rebel movement. The growing
strength and immense developments of free labor
have excited the jealousy of others besides the
slave holder. The fact that the American
mechanic was driving foreign competition
from our markets—that he was creating new
demands and filling them by his own industry
—that he was bringing commerce to the door
of every poor man in the shape of domestic
manufactures, has long been a source of great
annoyance to the merchant princes of our great
commercial emporiums. The rebellion bad
scarcely broken out in the south, and the
rebels had only thrown open their ports, when
these pampered importers began to protest
against the payment of duties, by declaring
that some of the ports of this country had been
opened to the free trade of the world. They
knew that such free trade was illegal, and yet
they were anxious to make use of the fact, to
accomplish their darling hope and purpose of
breaking down American manufacturers and
industry,and secure their own wealth by increas •
ing the importing interests of the country.
Between these classes, the men who are con
stantly opposing the protection of American
industry and the men who are laboring to de
stroy the American Union, there is no differ
ence. The free trader seeks to break down
free labor by the pauper competition of Europe
—while the slave driver struggles and plots for
the same object by a dissolution of the Union.
With the Union dissolved, labor that is now
free and independent, would be made utterly
subservient to capital. Our infant manufacto
ries would soon be left without the protection
of a strong government, and therefore become
the easy prey of foreign competitors—a fact
most pleasant for the contemplation of the im
porter.
—lt would be well for the people closely to
watch the developement of events as the re
bellion progresses to the defeat which is its
certain doom. It originated to destroy the in
fluence of the laboring men in the American
I government. Capital has long been ploting
to achieve this object. It has been the object
too of a class of self-annoited aristocrats in all
section of the Union to destroy, if posible, the
I prestige and power of the industrial classes of
this country. With this aristocracy it matters
little what were the means used in accomplish
ing this destruction. If free-trade was sufficient to
achieve the purpose, throw open the ports. If
that failed, and rebellion was deemed expedi
ent, allegiance was thrown aside as hastily
as the ports were thrown open, all the obliga
tions to a great and glorious government re
nounced without an emotion of regret or shame.
If the re-action does not develope such a con
nection in this conspiracy, we will be greatly
disappointed.
BRADFORD COUNTY VOLUNTEERS.
The Patriot and Union cannot possibly leave an
opportunity pass to exhibit its spite and cast
its spleen on those who are either directly or in
directly engaged in the effort to sustain the
government. This morning it prints is char
acteristic statement on this subject, and in
dulges its penchant for falsehood, by stating
that a large number of the Bradford county
volunteers had returned home again, unwilling
to serve for three years, and consequently in
the opinion of the Patriot, unmindful of their
duty to their country. It is true that a num
ber of those who had arrived here last week,
have returned home, but it was from no fear of
entering the service for three years. They
complained at not being furnished with suit
able clothing, and not understanding the cause
of the delay, left before the matter could be
properly explained. These individual cases of
dissatisfaction were soon counteracted by men
from the same region, who were anxiously
waiting for an opportunity to enter the ranks
to serve during the war. These "Buck Tails,"
that seem to disturb the reflections and the
dreams of the Patriot will do their duty, when
ever they are called in spite of the sneers and
slanders of tories. Our neighbors are also
dissatisfied with Gideon J. Ball, because he
dared to offer a resolution in the House, some
days since, in regard to the property owned in
this State by Senator Mason. This property is
yielding this traitor a handsome profit, and the
money which he thus derives from the soil of
Pennsylvania, he is using to strike down the
government of the United States. Certainly
Mr. Ball was to be excused if his zeal outstrip
ped his descretion in offering his resolution
against the treason of Mason—but it was an
excellent opportunity for the Patriot to display
its affectionate regard and esteem for an old ally
and present political sympathiser. It would be
well for the Patriot to exercise more caution in
its allusions to our brave volunteers, or it may
again have occasion to ask the protection of the
Mayor against the soldiers indignation. Pub
lie sentiment forced the Union to display the
stars and stripes from its printing office—and it
was only saved from its fury by the interference
of those who may become weary of reading
these constant flings and slanders against our
brave defenders. A word to the wise is suffi
cient.

WHAT IS THE AIM OF TREGOVERNMENT2
Ihe southern people, those who succored se
cession without intending that their succor
should be used to give it the force and fury
which it now possesses, begin to wonder what
the Government means to do? They ask this
question as if there really was nothing to do
for the Government, or they ask it as if they
had not been guilty of wrongs that should be
righted, outrages that deserved punishment,
crimes that merited death. What the Govern
ment will do, the southern rebels know as well
as we do, and among them all there is suffi
cient knowledge to impress the guilty with the
extent of the punishment reserved for them.—
The Government will certainly proceed to take
possession of its property, making no distinc
tion between a musket in the hands of a traitor,
stolen from its arsenal, or a mint under the
control of a commonwealth, seized by its order
and held by its authority. It will recapture
its forts, re-possess its custom-houses, re assert
its authority, and enforce respect to its flag and
obedience to its laws in every state and territo
ry in the Union. But this is not all that the
Government will do, in order to vindicate its
reputation. It must do more if it hopes to
survive for present good and future greatness.
It must punish the authors of this rebellion,
not merely as disturbers of the peace of the
country—not as usurpers of its law and au
thority—not as violators of its dignity and re
pose. They are guilty of all these bad actions—
but it is for greater crimes that they must be
punished. They must be arrested, and tried
and condemned and disposed of as traitors. No
other punishment will satisfy the people of the
loyal states ; any other would only be offer
ing a premium for the piracy, assassination and
plunder which distinguished this first rebellion
against Liberty.
It gives us pleasure to record the fact that
the House of Representatives has passed, by a
unanimous vote, the bill to create a loan, and
making general provisions to carry on the war
against the rebels of the south most effectually.
Some slight apprehension was felt that the
legislature did not act hastily enough on the•
subject, but we must remember that the bill
passed is of the utmost importance to the tax
payers of the state and the community iu ggn
eral, and therefore had to be carefully matured.
We believe the bill as passed gives general sat
isfaction to all parties, and at the same time
protects the state from imposition most effect
ually. We presume that the Senate will take
action on the bill at once, and that it will pass
finally within a few days, when the legislature
will be ready to adjourn, having accomplished
everything that can be done on their part.
The foolish story started by secessionists in
disguise, that the legislature and the Governor
were at loggerheads, is simply ridiculous, and
needs no contradiction on our part.
A. PROTRACTED WAR will be the death of
slavery, because the upholders of that institu
tion cannot carry on, a campaign beyoßd a year,
without hopeless bankruptcy, ruin and utter des
olation of fortune, business and homes. Neither
can they bring the hostilities which they have
inaugurated to a position in which they, could
dictate terms of settlement such as wopld be
of advantage to themselves and streng letting
to their institution. In every phase that this
war can be viewed, so for as the people of the
south are concerned, it is impossible for the re
sult to be other than fatal. They have
naval or military force equal to the forees
with which they are about to contend, and
lacking the force of numbers with the force of
justice, that is ever invincible, their cause is
indeed hopeless. They must surrender and
trust to the magnanimity of a government they
have so much outraged, or be subdued and
suffer the penalties they so much deserve.
A NEW STANZA..—Oliver Wendell Holmes,
the "Autocrat," furnished the following ad
ditional stanza to the National Song of the Star
Spangled Banner on the occasion of its being
sung,,at a recent meeting at Boston.
When our land is illumined with liberty's smile,
If a toe from within strike a blow at her glory,
Down, down wtih the traitor that dares to defile
The flag of her scars and the page of her glory !
By the minions unchained who our birthright have
gained,
We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained I
And the Ster•Spanglod Banner in triumph shall wave
While the land of the free is the home of the brave !
BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE.-A dutch preacher,
who was warmly inclined in favor of the tory
party during the Revolutionary war, happened
to get into an American camp on Sunday, and
was consequently called on for a sermon and a
prayer. He from force of habit commenced
the latter with "Got pleas to King," whereup
on there was considerable excitement among
the soldiers. When he perceived it, with ad
mirable presence of mind he continued :
"Yes, mine hearers, I zsy, Got pless to ring
—pless him mit blenty of hard times, pleas
him mit a whig barliament—pless him mit de
feats on land unt on to sea—pless him mit all
kinds of pad luck—pless him mit sickness—
piece him mit a short life—unt Lordt, may we
have no more of him 1"
FLOODING OT THE MISSISSIPPI.--An enemy
whose force is irresistible, whose march is ever
onward, and in whose track nothing is seen
but destruction, is at present invading two or
more of the s• ceded States. We refer to the
annual flood of the Mississippi river, which
this year threatens to submerge a greater ex•
tent of coast than heretofore recorded. From
all the accounts we have been able to gather,
the "Father of Waters," as well as most of
his tributaries, is "boming full," and although
the rainy season in the upper country has not
contributed its quota to the flood, yet the im
mense amount of snow which has fallen during
the past winter has begun to show itself, and
the danger of a general inundation is painfully
apparent.
THE SECRET OF SECESSION. —There is a secret
spring to this secession movement in all the
Southern States, that the people have not con
sidered or thought about. Merchants, railroads
and others largely indebted to the North, are
most clamorous for secession. The States that
first went out of the Union, had in view the
ridding themselves of their just debts, and to
consummate the villainy, they put the old
Mississippi Repudiator at the bead of their
Government. Whenever a merchant is found
largely indebted to the North, and wherever
the sons of bankrupts are found, they are
throwing up their hats for Jeff. Davis. Many
men of a very different character are secession
ists, many who have wealth and capital, but
look at the bankrupts and the men indebted to
Mae North beyond their ability to pay, and they
are all for going out of the Union. —Knoxville
