H ARRISBURG, PA
Friday Afternoon, May 17, 1861.
THE THREE BILLION LOAN.
We publish on the first page of the TELE
GRAPH this afternoon, the bill providing for the
loan of three million of dollars, for the purpose of
arming the militia forces of the State. The
loan is to be taken on certificates or bonds of
the Commonwealth, bearing six per cent. in
terest per annum, payable semi-annually, and
which bonds and certificates shall be exempt
from taxation fur any purpose. These bonds
and certificates are not to be issued for a less
sum than twenty-five dollars, and no certificate
or bond is to be negotiated for less than its par
value.
The bill also provides for the complete or
ganization of the militia force of the State, by
the appointment of a proper person of compe
tent military education, experience and skill,
to have command of all the military forces of
the State. This appointment has already been
made in the person of Gen. George A. McCall.
The details of this portion of the bill are very
interesting, and calculated to meet any emer
gency that may hereafter arise for the defence
or enforcement of the laws of this State or na
tion.
In the settlement of the accounts which will
grow out of the military organization, the
most rigid rules have been adopted to prevent
fraud or exaction. All accounts must be sworn
to, and when an account has been falsely at
tested, the accountant is made liable to loose the
full amount of his bill, besides making himself
accountable under the laws punishing perjury.
The bill also makes it unlawful for any citi
zen or citizens to leave this state as volunteer
soldiers, without first having been accepted by
the Governor, under the call for troops made
upon all the States by the President.
One of the most jndicious and patriotic pro
visions of this bill is that which legalises the
appropriation of money by the commissioners
of the several counties in the state, for the
purpose of supporting the families of such of
the volunteers who left the said counties una
ble to make such provision themselves. It also
provides a pension of eight dollars per month
- LII(21 WICIOW Ut evory atnum. "rut,
one or more minor children, the pension to last
for five years, or until she is provided for by
the United States of such minor children, un-
der the age of fourteen years.
We give this synopsis only of some of the
main features of the bill, and earnestly recom
mend to our readers the perusal of the entire
law as we print it this afternoon.
Jane C. BRECKENRIDGE begins to waver in hit
treason, and fully comprehending the odium
and responsibility of his position, he desires to
escape both by espousing the cause of the
Union. Breckinridge was one of the sympa
thisers in the first movements of the traitors.
His object was to destroy Douglas and then di
vide the Democratic party, and having as he
thought accomplished both, he attempted the
subversion of the powers of this government,
for the purpose of humiliating the masses of
the free states. The complicity of Breokin
ridge, in every act of treason since the oath of
office was administered to Davis, Stevens and
their associates, is clear to the mind of every
Union loving man in this country—and the
government of Washington therefore could of
fer no greater insult to the bravo mcn who
have rushed to its support from all parts of the
Union, then to accept the services of such men
as John C. Breckinridge, particularly now,
when the struggle for the Union is half over.
There are thousands of honest and loyal men
in the south, who were held in awe by just
inch men as the traitor Breckinridge, and who
were prevented from evincing the least devo
tion to the Union by the fear of the resentment
and persecution of such leading wretches.
Such meu as these should be welcomed to the
ranks when and where opportunity may be pre
sented for their espousal—but leaders and con
coctors of treason, and those who, like Breck
inridge, urged the rebellion forward for selfish
and ambitious motives, should be forced to as
sume the responsibility of their treason. We
ask no acknowledgements from the lips of such
men, and we have no truce to prefer them.
They have learned the full measure and extent
of their infamy, and they should be forced to
endure it for all eternity. The friends of the
government have already been too lenient with
men of the Breckinridge ilk. On their peril
we warn the government how it receives
them to their bosom, again to warm them into
strength, and again to be stung by them when
base motives infuse vigor to their fangs.
WHEN governments hesitate in great trials,
they are lost. The people and the world re_
spect those who have the power and disposition
to respect themselves. "The God of battles is
with the heaviest ordnance," said Napoleon.
The thought was not so impious ; it showed the
deep knowledge of human nature possessed by
the Corsican. God helps those who help them_
selves.
Earn - mos.—The Norfolk correspondent of
of the Richmond Examiner says: M P. Watkin
son, late pastor of Court street Baptist Church,
in this city, has had his resignation accepted,
and been expelled from fellowship therewith,
having basely deserted his charge after preach
ing a rampant secession discourse a few months
since. He is in Philadelphia now, and vilifies
the South on every occasion.
TERRORISTS.
There is a class of men in this country who,
for many years, have been working mischief
while they were making honest people believe
that they were engaged in labors of patriotism
and philanthropy. The efforts of these men
were commenced in a studied and regular sys
tem of legislative favors for one section of the
country, made up of contributions of money,
grants of land, with commercial and trading
favors of the most extensive character. This
practice led certain parties to suppose that the
stability of this government depended on the
favors which were dispensed at their bidding, un
til politics began to shape themselves entirely to
please the prejudices and appease the passions
of the juntos of slavery. We all know that it
was dangerous twelve years ago to utter a sen
timent against the institution of slavery, even
in some of the free states, and that the practice
of searching the mails was an every-day occur
rence in the slave states, to detect, if possible,
some unfortunate sentiment in favor of free
dom, printed in a paper or written in a letter.
All this was encouraged and carried on with .
the full knowledge of the government, but it
was dangerous to object. Even the sacred
right of petition was denied to the people of
the free states, on the subject of slavery in the
capital of the United States, or on its f intro
duction into any of the territories of the coun
try. We can well remember the struggle of
John Quincy Adams on this right of petition,
a right which underlies the foundation of our
political structure, and which constitutes the
strength of a government that relies on the
obedience of the people, unawed by force of
arms or military dictation, for its peace and se
curity. It was not considered terrorism to as
sail the old Whig party as "British Whigs," a
term calculated to bring into disgrace any man
who espoused the political policy of Henry
Clay. It was not considered as seeking to in
augurate terror by those who assailed every
man who opposed slavery as an "abolitionist,"
or an oamalgamationist." The men who practic
ed such a system of political campaigning were
anxious only to retain the support of the south-''
ern states in monopolizing the patronage of
the government, but when such a monopoly
led to the corruption of legislation, and the
incertitude of political organizations based only
on the distribution of such patronage, then it
became the act of terrorism to charge these
results to those who were instrumental in their
production. It was just such a state of affairs
as that growing out of the pampering of a po
litical prejudice at the south, which has brought
about the confusion and anarchy thatnow reign
in that region. If the institution of slavery
had been forced to stand on its own merits—if
it had been forced to depend upon its own ef
forts, its advocates and supporters would have
taken their places among the advocates and
supporters of all other interests, to rise or fall,
as fair and manly competition would have de
cided. But instead of this the terrorism which
its advocates and supporters have so long man
aged to exorcise, has kept it alive, has given i
vigor, and made it often potential in this gov
lIMMITIO
The latest terrorism which the sympathisers
with slavery desire to inaugurate, is that which
they imagine they have discovered in the trea
son which is preached against those who are
neither loyal Americans or law-abiding citizens.
It is not uncommon to hear men assail the
Federal Government. To talk of Lincoln's war
—of Curtin's secret service fund—and when
they are met in their insinuations, challenged
on the spot as to their loyalty and veracity,
the cry of terrorism is at once raised, and at once
these traitors escape the odium which is their
due. It is time that this trick was exposed.
It is time that this terrorism was understood to
be nothing more than a ruse by which the
worst of men seek to hide their crimes and
frustrate their punishment. To assert the
truth against a traitor, is not to proclaim a
reign of terror. On the contrary it is to arrest
terror by exposing and suppressing treason.
This is our doctrine. We believe in the de
tection and punishment of criminals, traitorq
included, as the best and only way to purge
and preserve the peace of the nation.
BRIG. GEN. E. C. WILLIAMS.
We have omitted to reprint the very flatter
ing commendations with which the Chambers
burg press indorse the conduct and bearing of
Brig. Gen. E. C. Williams, because the Briga
dier is so well known and so highly esteemed
here in Harrisburg, that we considered it un
necessary to repeat the good opinion of others
for him. But when the ladles join in the ap
plause of the sterner portion of a community,
and beseige the Brigadier with their compliments
it is time that his friends here were apprised of
the fact. No braver man or nobler friend ever
existed than "Ned Williams," and the reputa
tion which he carried with him to camp Slifer
was fairly won on some of the bloodiest battle
fields of Mexico. Here is the last compliment
paid to him, from the Franklin Repository and
Whig:
HANDSOME PRESENT.—Orie of the kind hearted
ladies of Chambersburg, a few days since, sent
a very pretty box, containing some necessary
articles for the toilet, to Brig. Gen. E. C. Wil
liams. The box is a very ingenious representa
tion of Fort Sumpter. Of course the General,
although a married man, and not inclined to
neglect his duties for any purpose, not even to
enjoy the society of our ladies, made one of his
most polite bows. He not being acquainted
with the fair donor—one of the elite of Cham
bersburg—we, knowing her, hereby return
thanks in his name for the present. The fol
lowing verses accompanied the gift. They
speak for themselves :
"OUR 00UNTRY'S FLIG."
That flag that's waved o'er many a field
Swill wave untarnished yet ;
In million hearts it ❑nds its shield,
That never Will its glories yield,
Nor see one star onset.
That flag that patriot hands did keep
And patriots' blood maintained,
In triumph still its folds shah sweep
Above the graves where heroes sleep,
Untarnished and unstained.
Forever How, forever bright,
Old standard of the free,
The emblem of the freeman's might
And high advanced in Heaven's right,
Forever let it be.

THE PROGRAMME OF TEE WAR
The Chicago Times says, a gentleman from
Washington, whose opportunities for obtaining
information are said to be ample, and who is
deemed to be reliable authority, furnishes the
Cincinnati Enquirer with the programme which
the Government will pursue in the conduct of
the war. While we do not believe that de
Administration designs to reveal their policy
any faster than it developes itself, the pro
gramme, as published by the Enquirei, seems
to have the warrant thus far of probability
from current events. According to the pro.
gramme, Virginia will first be made to feel the
weight of the Federal arm. To retake Norfolk
and occupy Richmond with a view to the es
tablishment of a base of future operations, will
be about all that will be attempted in this
quarter for the present. The hot weather will
suspend further operations there until next
November, when the Federal forces will be
pushed forward into the heart of the enemy's
country. In the meantime, the Union men of
Western Virginia will be strengthened and as
sisted, and all the lines of communication, by
land and water, will be possessed as far as pos
sible, and kept open and under control of the
Government, so as to render its own operations
effective and cripple the movements of the
rebels. Maryland will be held as firmly and
securely to her duty as possible.
The operations in the West will be delayed
somewhat, for want of water material to operate
with. The design of the Government is. to
have gun-boats on the Mississippi, and occupy
its west bank as they progress southwardly,
building forts or block-houses as they progress
The gun-boats will be used to clear the coast of
the enemy's batteries, and protect the steam
boats that shall follow with troops, provisions
and stores. In that way the whole country
west of the Mississippi will be overrun and sub
dued by the Federal troops. The means neces
sary for this cannot be procured immediately,
but orders will be soon given which will insure
everything for as early a start from Cairo as
the weather and stage of the Mississippi will
permit.
Northwestern Texas is to be invaded from
Kansas, and the Union element said to exist in
that portion of the State brought into sympa
thy and co-operation with the Federal Govern
ment. Arkansas may also be troubled by the
South-western army, and by the fire thus kept
up, the secessionists will be harrassed and
weakened. The leaders in these operations,
it is said, will be Jim Lane and Montgomery,
of Kansas notoriety.
All this while a strict blockade, from the
Chesapeake to the Rio Grande, will be kept up,
and all privateers under the Confederate Gov
ernment will be summarily dealt with.
Thus threatened in front, their centre bro
ken, surrounded, flanked and harrassed in their
rear, the rebels, the Government hopes, will
soon be broughtajto terms. This is the pro
gramme furnished to the Enquirer. From
present appearances, its reliability will soon be
tested.
THE MARVELS of the telegraph are almost be
yond credibility: among them 113 the erection
of heavy batteries in the most impossible loca
lities in one moment, and their sudden disap
pearance the next. Rifled cannon and heavy
batteries are at Norfolk one day, and at Rich
mond the day following. Fortifications are
erected in a great variety of places in the morn
ing, which rarely last until the evening edition
is issued. The Virginians erect batteries along
the Potomac at night, which are dissipated by
the rising sun of the next morning. Baltimore
is in the hands of the mob one day, and there
is a tremendous reaction of the Union senti
ment the next—a remarkable change that no
body in Baltimore happens to see. Washing
ton is about to be sacked with an overwhelm
ing force of rebels a dozen times in one week,
and is pronounced perfectly safe as many times
during the same interval. Ben McCullough is
leading a party of rebels in Virginia in one
day's issue, and the next day he is in Texas.
Col. Lee fortified Arlington Heights a week ago,
since which time he has gone, nobody knows
where—but probably his forces are fortifying
themselves with cheap brandy and Bourbon
cocktails at some county court house in the in
terior.
Tun NEW YORK TIMES seems to regard our
land army as a useless expense, believing that
the navy alone will settle the seceders' busi
ness for them. It says :
Without our consent, not a bale of cotton,
or cask of sugar, rice or tobacco, or a barrel of
naval stores, can be sent to market. Suppose
an effectual blockade to be established, what
becomes of Southern finances, Southern arm
ies, Southern government, and even Southern
society? Destroy the labor of a country, and
you destroy the country itself. We can qui
etly sit down at the North and accomplish all
this with our naval arm. We need not move
a soldier into a single Southern State
There is both solid sense and argument in
this assertion, and the blockade, so far, has
already had a most blighting effect on the peo
ple of the south. There never was a war com
menced in which so little loss of life will be
experienced, and so much accomplished at so
little expense.
THE BALTIMORE CLIPPER does not place much
reliance on the subdued state of public feeling
in that city, and warns the people of the north
how they trust the loyalty and repentance of
Maryland. This is the manner hi which it
discourses :
It is useless in the face of notorious facts for
gentlemen to deny that there has been in this
State, and in this city, a determined purpose of
immediate and unconditional secession. In
the flood tide of its popular manifestation it
was openly avowed. That purpose is not in
any degree abandoned ; it may be hidden, it
may be absolutely denied, but it exists as the
cherished thought and hope of many who are
accustomed to sway public opinion; it lies
close to the hearts of some who conduct public
journals in our midst. The subdued tone of
present expression must not be mistaken for a
change of real opinion and purpose, for a yield
ing of anything more than a stragetic point.
Rev. Drs. Sears and Wayland, Bishop Clark,
and other prominent citizens of Providence,
have issued a request to their fellow-christians
throughout Rhode Island, to observe the. third
Sabbath of this month as a day of special pray
er for the country.
THE CREDIT OF TILE STATE must not be im
paired while all due care is taken to guard the
treasury from the spoilsman and the specula
tor. In the excitement and hurry of calling
o ut the troops, one of the great embarrassments
of the time, were the necessary quartersifor the
protection and accommodation of troops. In
the emergency, whole companies of men were
entertained and quartered by individuals, while
many other companies took their meals at
hotels, convenient to the camp or rendezvous.
These troops were out iu response to the call of
the Governor. They were out and on their way
to the State Capital, and while some of these
companies, and indeed a large number of them,
have not been accepted and of course were never
mustered into service, their will to serve and
their determination to obey the summons, were
both equally good, and the State is therefore
in honor bound to pay the expense incurred in
the preliminary movements of this honest
I patriotism and manly loyalty. The Commis
sary of the State, Geri. W. H. Irwin, is now
overrun with bills of this description, which
should not be delayed in liquidation. We
earnestly trust that the discrimination and jus
tice of the Auditor General may be invoked in
providing for the acknowledgment and pay
ment & these bills as speedily as possible.—
There is no doubt of their justness even if the
law is obscure as to their
PENNSYLVANIA owes it to herself and the loyal
men who cling to the South as the land of their
birth, and as that portion of the American
Union which is dear and sacred to them, not to
allow this movement fur the vindication of the
law, to be made a crusade against the homes,
the wives and the children of the people of the
South. We seek the punishment of the trai
tors themselves, the prompt and decided pun
ishment of the leaders, who have invoked on
their heads the doom of death—but to excite
the passions of the ignorant or create a servile
insurrection among those whose ignorance
would produce a most woful and deplorable de
vastation of life and property, is not the purpose
of Pennsylvania, nor will her authorities allow
any movement from any quarter either to grow
up in her own midst or pass over her own terri
tory, for the accomplishment of such a horrible
purpose. We intend to subdue this rebellion like
Christians, and to punish traitors, not destroy
the homes of women, or hunt down defenceless
old men and children. The leaders of the re
bellion are the game we hunt, and their heads
will be satisfactory trophies for our soldiers.
Reformation, redress and peace, not revenge,
repine or murder, are what the people of Penn
sylvania now demand and fight for.
WHAT ONE OF THEM - MEANS TO Do.—The Ala
bama Cadets, in passing through Knoxville,
Tenn., had their ticket 3 hsued for a Ball at the
White House on the 4th of July. One of the
officers, considering the taking of Washington
as too small an achievement, swore, in a public
speech, that he was going to march his victori
ous soldiers into Wall street and pay them off.
They will be likely to be "paid off" before they
reach more than half that distance.
WHAT ARMS THEY HAVE.—The Richmond
Examiner publishes, on what it calls official and
indisputable evidence, that Floyd transferred,
in one order, from Northern armories to South
ern States, during his term of rascality, 114,866
improved arms. Since then 142,000 have been
stolen from the public arsenals, makicg nearly
800,000 of the best arms in the hands of the
rebels.

ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE 1
Harrisburg, Hay 16, 1861. ,
The Governor of Pennsylvania has received
from the War Department, at Washington, the
following announcement, in reference to th e
second requisition of militia made by the Gen
eral Government.
" Ten Regiments are assigned to Pennsyl va-
Ma, making, in addition to the thirteen regi
ments of three months already called for.
twenty-three regiments. It is important to
reduce rather than enlarge this number, and in
no event to exceed it."
Pennsylvania has already furnished to the
United States service twenty-five regiments.:
Of this number at least ten regiments —th e
amount of the second requisition—have signi.
fled a willingness to change their term of
vice from three months to three years. N o
more companies, therefore, from this Comoro"-
wealth can now be received for the United
States Government.
By order of the Governor, Commander-ie
Chief, E. M. BIDDLE,
Adjutant General.
