THE UNION-THE CONSintIION-AND
THE ENFORCEMENT OF TLLJ LAW.
HARRISBURG, PA
Saturday Afternoon, May 18, 1861.
Ton banks of Boston have offered to take
$6,000,000 of the new loan.
A au of quantity of gunpowder, from New
Orleans, arrived at Memphis on the Bth inst.
RuFus KING, Minister to Rome, has been ap
pointed Brigadier General of the Wisconsin
troops
ACCORDING to the Savannah Republican, 18,000
volunteers have tendered their services to the
Governor of Georgia.
Six additional regiments are to go into camp
in Maine, to await a requisition from the Gov-
ernment
NEARLY two hundred citizens of St. Louis ar
rived in Cincinnati on Monday morning last,
fleeing, they say' for fear of their lives.
THE Richmond Whig is convinced of the gen
eral unsoundness of Western Virginia on the
Southern Confederacy question, and advocates
letting her go off into a State by herself.
THE Raleigh Register suggests to the volun
teers of Virginia and of the South the import
ance of protecting themselves against small
pox by vaccination.
Tits ldaroN GUARDS, Captain T. B. Barton, of
Lancaster city, were accepted yesterday under
the enlistment of three years. We understand
that this company is composed of a gallant
band of young Lancastrians, and we know that
Captain Barton is one of the most chivalric
men in the State. He will assist in maintain
ing the honor of the Old Keystone on any
field of duty to which the Guards may be
called.
THE Southern Chivalry complain that they
are obliged to expose the best blood of the
country to the mere superfluous population of
the North. "Why," said a Captain—"my
company represents nearly $10,000,000 worth
of property, and they have got to fight the
Dutch and Irish of the North." There will
soon learn that in the hour of battle, one man
is as good as another, with a good rifle and a
steady aim.
Taz LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL.—The Southern
papers are making much of a speech of Gen.
Waul, of Texas, in which he likened the Mont
gomery secessionists to the ten tribes of Israel
which seceded under Jeroboam. They think
the parallel most happy, and applaud the ap
plication of the words : "Every man to your
tents, 0, Israel ; and now, David, see to thine
own house."
Gen. Waul added : "And every man went
to his own tent, and the ten tribes went forth;"
and the New Pork Post says, we may complete
the speech of the General by saying "that the
ten tribes have never been heard of since."
Iu RESPONSE to a resolution passed by the
Legislature of Kentucky, asking the Executive
to communicate the amount of money he has
expended for arms, and the character and num
ber of the arms so purchased, Governor Magof
fin says that he bought over eight thousand
dollars worth of old flintlock muskets, about
five thousand dollars worth of percussion mus
kets, and some few army equipments, to the
amount of a couple of thousand dollars ; but
where they all are he does not know as they
have not yet been delivered. The Legislature
does not show any disposition to force the State
out of the Union or to allow the Governor to
do so.
CLEANSING GUN BARRELS.—We see in the
Scientific American and other papers recipes for
cleansing gun barrels. They are all open to
the objection that they involve the use of
water, thus requiring time to dry the barrels
and incurring the danger of rust. We give a
method used by scentific sportsmen in England
with success : Get a quantity of quicksilver
which can be kept in a strong pill box, and
when the barrel is foul place the thumb on the
nipple, pour the quicksilver at the mouth, and
then run it up and down for a few minutes.
Turn it back into the box and the barrel will
be perfectly clean. The mercury forms an
amalgam with the lead and removes it. The
lead can be taken from the mercury by strain
ing.
Ishasotrai is still in the throes which must
issue in her becoming a loyal and perhaps a
free state. Her difficulties are of such a nature
as to claim the sympathy and succor of her
sisters of the north. Her worst evil seems to
be a Governor too wicked to be deterred by
warnings, yet too cowardly to make his vil
lainy successful. He must play the traitor,
but with precautions that arouse suspicion, and
delays that secure his defeat. The best thing
that could happen to the state would be his
voluntary or forcible removal from an office be
has held only to misuse. To him must be laid
the worthless currency, the suspension of rail.
road operations, the misappropriation of funds
devoted to education, the cowardly and die.
graceful device of secret sessions in American
Legislatures, and the spectacle of a State once
an anxious petitioner for Union now dragged
to the verge of rebellion against the source of
her security, wealth and progress.
SHALL WE HAVE A WAR OF YEARS?
The question is often asked whether this war
which the rebels have precipitated on the loyal
people of this government, -hall be prolonged
for years, or whether it shall be terminated
promptly and effectually. There is no reason
why this conflict should not be terminated in a
single battle, and the best of reasons why it
should be settled without a fight. The rebels
themselves do not desire an encounter of any
considerable numbers, for the simple reason
that they cannot rally a large force. If they
had the numbers armed and equipped—the zeal
and ardor of which they so long boasted—
Washington city would have been in their posses
sion months since, while Baltimore and Mary
land never would have succumbed and hum
bled themselves in the dust, as they have done.
The war, therefore, will soon be ended, and
ended, too, more by the appearance of the
forces from the free states, and the apparent
vigor of the federal authorities, than by any
hostile demonstration which can possibly be
made by either the volunteers or the govern
ment. Already the people of the south begin
to ask for the promised aid which was to greet
the commencement of these hostilities, and
already are the thieves and cut throats who
have been induced to rally under the treason
flag of Jell. Davis by the promise of a rich har
vest among the "beauty and booty" of the
north—already are these wretches beginning to
demand the realization of these promises,
while those who made them are daily becom
ing more and more incapable of their fulfil
ment. The south is not a unit on the subject
of secession. Thoss who contend for the revo
lution are the meanest rebels who ever con
vulsed a state, while those who are held in
check by this mob, only wait the presence of
a federal army to burst their own bonds, to
release themselves from the social and business
thrall into which treason has cast all their in
terests. The truth of this is implied in the
persistency with which the contests of this war
are forced beyond the limits of the states where
the treason was first concocted, to other com
monwealths, where they hope, to strengthen
their cause in a false sympathy they would
be able to elicit through their defeats.—
War in Virginia or Maryland, between the
Secession mobs and the Federal troops, would
1 1 add to the fury of rebellion in South Carolina
and Louisiana. War in Kentucky or Tennessee
would arouse all the traitors Arkansas or Texas
could vomit forth. But carry the war into
Africa—put the campaign into South Caro
lina or Texas, as soon as the season will
permit, and the battles will be both few
and short—the victories terrible to rebellion
and triumphant for the government. -
There never was a contest organized, in
which so much falsehood has been resorted to
by one of the contestants. Every proclama
tion issued by the rebel leaders teems with
lies. Every appeal they make to their follow
ers is fraught with falsehood. Every position
they assume is sustained by misrepresents-
tion, until they have completely blinded and
hoodwinked even the honest portion of the
people, and left their cause perfectly incapa
ble of defence or encounter. The presence of
the federal troops in the heart of the rebel
country will expose all this deception, and
make them welcome as friends instead of re
pugnant as foes. The sequel will prove this
and render battle useless, unless it is to res
cue the ill-fated secessionists themselves from
the fury of the mobs they now control or incite
to violence.
CHIVALRY--AS PRACTICED AT THE
SOUTH
Imprisoning female school teachers because
they read Beecher's sermons.
Banishing female seamstresses because they
come from the north.
Tar and feathering crippled pedlers, because
they don't deal in niggers.
Silencing preachers who dare to address God
as a dispenser of love and liberty !
Forbidding prayers from the pulpit for the
success of free institutions.
Getting up mock funerals for the burial of
the flag of the stars and stripes.
Storming half starved garrisons, and firing
on unarmed vessels.
Forcing negroes into slavery, as the inferiors
of the white man, and then forcing them into
the army as the equals of all men.
Refusing to pay honest debts, and then ask
ing alliance with the honest people of the
world.
Appealing to God to bless their cause, and
then rejecting the free ministration of His gos
pel.
Pledging their honors and then perjuring
their souls.
Representing the people by refusing to allow
them to participate in the control or the des
tiny of the government.
These are a few of the definitions of which
modern chivalryis susceptable. We give them
for the digestion of those who are constantly
arid secretly abetting by their sympathy the
very class of men who are now warring against
this government.
THE NATIONAL POSITION is simply thus, that
on one side there is whatever we understand by
Government ; on the other, a point-blank de
nial of its authority. It is too late to talk
about resistance to a party, as such, because
party lines are obliterated and forgotten, under
the pressure of sterner realities. The dogmas
out of which platforms were constructed have
no possible application is this aspect of the
case, and the notorious fact concerning all these
party "principles" is that they are never men
tioned in connection with the dangers now me
nacing the country. Whole regiments have
been formed suddenly, in which not one sol
dier can be found who voted for the present ad
ministration. And the grand object in view
is not to sustain the policy of any political
school, but to defend the vital principle and
law that underlies our existence as
a natian. If cecession succeeds—if the Se
ceded States are able to maintain their position,
it is with them a successful revolution. But if
they fail—no matter whether by the vote of
their own people, or by the enforcement of Fe
deral laws against their will and consent—the
failure takes away from the dignity of revolu
tion and leaves nothing behind bht the story
of a rebellion that had na results.
pennopluania flatten liclegrapt), Saturbap afttrttoou, inn 18, 1861.
By this time our new ministers have arrived
at St. James and St. Cloud, and by this time,
too, the governments of England and France
have learned officially the position which the
peeple of the United States have assumed on
the question of secession. From the English
and French courts the news will soon spread
over Europe that, notwithstanding some of the
most prominent men in this county have en
gaged in this conspiracy—the conspirators hold.
ing important position under a former dynasty,
numbering among themselves representatives
from the judicial, the legislative, and the execu
tive branches of government—notwithstand
ng all these facts, we still have a government,
a strong, powerful, impregnable and invincible
government, centered in the hearts of the
American people, maintained by their liberality,
recognized by their loyalty, and defended on
the venture :of their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honors. For a time this glorious
condition of affairs was no► anticipated even by
the most enthusiastic lover of his country. The
prejudices of party were supposed to have been
too deeply rooted. The iron rule of partly. In
dictation was considered too potential—and the
hunt for office so wild, that the cause of law
and order became almost hopeless, while the
sacred claims of the Union itself almost sunk
beneath the surging waves of the many
streames which flowed from the inexhaus
tible sources of political corruption. In
politics the north and the east and the
west seemed as hopelessly divided as were
their latitudes. Between them appeared to be
no affinity of loyalty. There was no sympa
thy, apparently, in purpose; and resting their
hopes on this grand delusion, rebellion in the
south reared its black banners, while traitors
insanely swore to destroy, if possible, every
vestige of a free government on this hemis
phere. There is no mistaking the motive of
those who took this oath since their plot has
been developed. There is no misapprehending
their purpose any longer, as we enumerate their
felonies and contemplate their aggressions.—
The unconditional subjugation of all labor—
the abrogation of social equality—and the re
cognition of classes and distinctions in the
government, were the first ends aimed at ;
while the after achievements were to consist in
the organization and annointing of an aristo
cracy, to be eternally absolute and supreme.--
Then came the struggle, whether we had a
government to protect the mass from whom
that government derived its strength. Or,
whether the government which the people had
so long sustained, was only a mockery, a de
ception and a delusion, incapable of controlling
its own elements, unable to protect those
whom it professed to govern, and unworthy
the respect and confidence of those with whom
it had entered into treaties of commerce,
comity and peace.
What is the spectacle to-day? Have we [a
government ? Have we means of defence and
credit for subsistence? Have we allegiance,
ardor, love and devotion for our nationaliiy
Thank God, we have all these. Thank God
that we have a powerful government, backed
by a race of men who have learned to love lib
erty as far above life—who respect the law, and
regard social order as the .esult of that respect,
and who have armed, equipped and enrolled
themselves in companies, battallions, regi
ments, brigades and armies, for the support
and defence of that very government which
called them all into existence. The spectacle
was never equaled in the world's history. On
the 4th day of March last, this government had
begun to ring its own death-knell--it had even
been enshrouded in its habiliments of death,
and to-day, not three months from the hour
when its beat friends had given it up, its best
friends blush to know that they lacked so much
confidence in its purity and power. Beating
with a mighty pulse, the entire free states, as
the movement of one man, rallied to the sup
port of this government. Feeling that they
were impotent and weak, the traitors have been
pausing in their work, until the federal gov
ernment of the United States has gathered the
strength that was scattered throughout its limits,
and made itself what it should be, a power as
well to create and sustajn good, as to destroy
and abolish evil. Around such a power it is
no common favor to rally, and beneath its shad
ow, no small protection to rest. Let us then
thank Gcd again, that we have a government !
THE SECESSION LEADERS give the most differ
ent and amusing reasons and excuses for break
ing up the Union. No two of these gentlemen
'seem to be agreed as to the precise nature of
the grievances of which they so loudly com
plain. Mr. Stephens contends that the govern
ment founded by Washington is a blunder, and
should be remodeled, so as to make slavery its
cornerstone. Mr. Jefferson Davis, on the other
band, insists that the "Principles of the Con
stitution" have been corrupted by the adoption
of the heresy, that the "theory of that instru
ment requires that in all cases the majority
shall govern." The "Confederate" President
but gives expression to the more general senti
ment among secessionists. This, after all, is
the real grievance. The north insists that the
majority shall rule ; the south insists that the
minority shall be supreme. The former claims
that this is a popular government ; the latter
claims that it is a company of oligarchs. The
one cleaves to the faith of the fathers of the
republic ; the other accepts the pernicious va
garies of Calhoun. The difference is wide ;
the point in controversy is vital. The whole
question of free government is involved.
IT is said that ten Irish regiments in the
Abolition States have offered their services to
President Davis, —Southern paper.
This is the stuff with which the journals of
secession feed their readers, and increase that coni
fidence which is luring the entire South to its
doom of destruction. We venture to assert
that among all our citizens none are more loy
al than the Irish, none more willing to fight,
and what is unfortunate for the South, none
abler to do good, steady and solid pounding
with the muzzle or the but of a musket, than

WE HAVE A GOVERNMENT.
WHAT WAR HAS COST THE WORLD
The wars of the world have been its greatest
expense. To redress wrongs, imaginary and
real, has cost the world more money than its
education. It has wasted more life, property,
and time, to satisfy ambition and lust, than all
the other motives and actions of men have di
rectly cost. This may sound unreasonable, but
it is undoubtedly a fact. The war which the
defenders of slavery have just inaugurated,
will add millions more to the sums stated to
the following enumeration :
The war preceding the treaty of Ryswidc, in
1697, cost $130,000,000.
The Spanish war of 1789, settled for at Aix
la-Chapelle, cost $270,000,000.
The war of the Spanish Succession cost $311,-
000,000.
The treaty of Paris, in 1763, ended a bloody
struggle, which cost $560,000,000.
The war of American Independence ' cost
England and America $930,000,000.
The war of ten years, which is known as
"the French Revolution of 1793," cost $230,-
000,000.
The war against the First Napoleon, which
began in 1803 and ended in 1815, cost the ex
traordinary amount of $5,800,000,000.
The Crimean war cost $84,600,000.
The last Italian war, not including the hos
tilities between Victor Emanual, Garibaldi,
Bomba, &c., cost $45,000,000.
The last war in India cost England $88,000,-
000.
Due TRAITORS of Maryland, Kentucky, Vir
ginia and Missouri, if not of North Carolina
and Tennessee, will have their hands full at
home. Western Virginia is a unit against re
bellion ; and, should the eastern portion of the
state venture upon active measures against the
government, a new state will be created, and
volunteers enough take the field to hold the
rebels in check.
Kentucky is even more evenly divided. Al
ready three full regiments have taken the field
for the Union, and when Col. Anderson shall
take his place at the head of "The Hunters"
of his native State, an army strong enough to
speedily crush out treason from its borders will
make its appearance.
In Missouri, ten thousand Union volunteers
are already enrolled ; and in less than ten days
the loyal men of that state will show them
selves too formidable to be attacked.
Maryland has almost entirely recovered from
her rebellious spasm. The true men of the
state are bold and ready. They cannot be put
down. Already our troops pass "through Bal
timore" undisturbed ; and in a fortnight not a
traitor will show his head except through a
halter.
Of North Carolina and Tennessee we know
less, and expect less. They may "go with the
multitude to do evil.'; But there will very
soon be devoloped too strong a Union sentiment
in both states to render safe a very formidable
contribution of troops to the rebel confederacy
for aggressive service.
On the part of the leaders of the rebellion,
the war is to be conducted on the principle of
bluster and brag. It is by these agencies that
the south has fought all her battles and achiev
ed all her victories during the last thirty years.
But other weapons must be used in this war.
THE Prrrsauun Crutoncte, referring to the
report that Colonel Anderson had stated that
the traitor Breckinridge would serve under
him in an Union Brigade, says that it is incor
rect, and that it has Colonel Anderson's au
thority for denying the report. The gallant
Colonel certainly did say, in this city, that his
letters from Kentucky led him to believe that
Breckinridge desired to serve under him in a
Union Brigade.
BORDER STATE CONVENTION. - The Border
State Convention, which was called by Vir
ginia, will meet at Frankfort, Ky., on Monday
next, the 20th inst. The Old Dominion, since
the call was made, having become the property
of Jeff Davis, will not be represented. It is
probable, however, that Kentucky, Missouri,
Maryland and Delaware will send delegates.—
Hon. John J. Crittenden is mentioned as likely
to be the President.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT Intended to have con
centrated to-day,in Washington, Baltimore and
Annapolis, fifty thousand men. Those men are
all said to be well drilled, hardy and experi
enced soldiers, more than one half of whom
had marched through the battle fields of
Mexico.
BRUTAL MI:WEIL—We learn from the Woods
field, 0., Spirit, that a most foul and dare-devil
murder was committed in Salem tp., Monroe
county, 0. on the 27th ult. An esteemed citi
zen by the name of Farmer, and his son, were
engaged in repairing a line fence, when a man
and his son by the name of Edwards (whose
farm adjoined) forebade them building the fenc e
Mr. Farmer persisted, when he was struck on
the head with a club, which Michael Edwards
had brought from the barn, breaking and crush
ing his jaw, and knocking him down. He was
then struck on the back of his head with a
fence stake, crushing in his skull. •
Tau Richmond Examiner advises the seces
sionists to let Washington go, and direct their
attention to Cincinnati, which it declares the
most valuable on the borders. By occupying
the Kentucky hills opposite Cincinnati, the Ex
aminer says the city could be laid in ashes. It
advices the Seuthern troops to form their
plans secretly, and improve the rich opportu
nity.
Tau Secretary of War has filled nearly all the
First Lieutenant vacancies in the army, and
most of the Second Lieutenants. Most of the
First are graded from the army ; the Second
taken from civil life. The Paymasters are all
appointed, which nearly completes the army
list, so badly broken up by secession resigna
tions and dismisals.
SOMEBODY, says Prentice, sends us an anony
mous letter from Tennessee, threatening to as
sasinate us for what we have said of John Bell.
We hope he won't. We want the use of the
whole remnant of our three-score and ten to re
pent properly of our vote for Bell last August.
The wheat and corn crops of Tennessee, it
