KRISBURG, PA
Tuesday Afternoon, May 28, 1861.
Three hundred German Turners, a few days
since, left Mississippi and Louisiana to join
the Federal troops at St. Louis.
NOMINATION FOIL CONGRESS. — The HOB. Henry
Grider has been nominated for Congress in the
Bowling Green district of Kentucky, unani
mously. He is a noble patriot. Love of coun
try thrills every vain and fibre of his heart and
head.
SUSPENSION OP MAIL Communes:rim—The
Postmaster General has issued an order sus
pending all communication with the seceded
States on and after the 31 - et instant. Wheeling,
Va., and that section of country, are not In
cluded in the order, and the mails thence will
be dispatched as usual.
SEWELL'S POINT.—This point, about which
considerable interest is now felt, is situated on
the south shore of Hampton Roads, four miles
from Fort Monroe. If fortified, it would com
mand the entrance to Elizabeth Channel, which
leads to the harbor of Norfolk.
HENRY WINTER Davis, while he was deliver
ing his great Union speech immediately after
his nomination for Congress, on the 25th inst.,
in the city of Baltimore, was interrupted by a
little girl, who held in her hand a boquet of
flowers, decorated by a miniature flag. She ap
proached him and said, "Sir, accept this ; I
wish you and the Union to blossom forever, as
this boquet is here." The incident elicited the
wildest shouts and excitement.
GEN. BUTLER, now leading,in the operations
against the rebels in Virginia, has already made
a splendid military reputation. He is a man of
vast and varied attainments, and most too
keen a northern barbarian for the F. F. V.'s.
Many good anecdotes are told of the General,
but nope better illustrates the character of the
man, and his shrewd professional freaks, than
the following by a young factory girl, formerly
employed in one of the Lowell mills. She had
been discharged, and the corporation refusing
to pay her, she sought legal redress and retain
ed Mr. Butler for her counsel. He listened to
her case with much interest, and afterwards
consulted the representative of the corporation,
who still refuscd to pay the girl her wages.—
Butler then issued a writ, and attached the
main water-wheel of the establishment, and by
bringing the whole manufactory to a stop, the
corporation, rather than allow their mills to re
main idle, and await the law's delay, paid the
girl her wages, and resumed operations.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, in some portions of the
union, is condemned for doing that which the
people applauded Jackson and Clay for en
couraging and accomplishing. When Andrew
Jackson grappled with nullification, he was
sustained by the people outside of South Caro
lina. Treason then had no time to gather its
strength or concoct arguments and pines for
its defences. Its first ebliution was met with
disapprovals. Its first armed array! was '
defiantly encountered and suppressed. Jack
son, when he accomplished the suppression of
nullification, did not entirely succeed in ex
tracting the poison of treason from the band of
traitors that have been ever since increasing
in the South. Tney have been flourishing in
that locality for twenty-five years, and have
been in that period the recipients of more of
ficial favors than the people of any other sec
tion of the United States. The army and navy
have been crowded with educated at West
Point and the Marine Academy at the expense
of the government—educated with a view of
one day turning their knowledge and experi
ence against the government at whose bounty
they were made proficient and accomplished.
After nullification had been suppressed, not
eradicated, this was the mode adopted by the
Southern people for usurping the govern
ment. And now that Abraham Lincoln is
doing just what Andrew Jackson done, he
is abused by the people of the neutral
States as a coercionist while the rebels
themselves pronounce his administration a
mockery and outrage. The administration of
Abraham Lincoln has not gone as far ha its
determination to suppress this rebellion as did
Andrew Jackson go to put an end to nullifica
tion. Jackson proclaimed his determination
to hang every traitor found with a weapon a
in his hands arrayed against .t this gov
ernment. Abraham Lincoln's administration
must make the same declaration. If he is true
to his oath, he cannot escape the enforcement
of the law, and thatlaw expressly fixes death as
the jovially of treason. Let us have nothing
but the simple performance of duty, and the
unwavering exercise of justice in the suppres
sion of this rebellion. Concession and compro
mises have been proven to be more subterfu
ges of traitors—the meanest and weakest kind
of inventions to cajole and flatter demagogues.
Let islnow have the law in letter and spirit—in
stern resolve and terrible execution, as Jack
son proclaimed it, and threatened to have it
administered, viz ; Death to traitors.
EVENTS
We scarcely trust ourselves to refer to events
as they occur, lest the allusion becomes stale
in the thick repetition with which the most
startling transactions are bursting upon the
people. Never before in the history of the
world has so much mischief been perpetrated
in so short a time. One year ago we were, ap
parently, the most prosperous and the most
powerful nation on the face of the globe. Four
years ago the United States stood forward the
very embodiment of greatness, glory and
wealth—all more the result of the natural
force of character and industry of the Ameri
can masses than the influence of legislation.—
When Franklin Pierce closed his administra
tion, in 1857, there never existed in any gov
ernment a greater confidence in its power--
more reliance in its laws—more respect for its
authority--more harmony in its departments,
and more wealth in its treasuries. The nation
seemed to overflow with all that was great,
good and glorious. Abroad we were esteemed
and envied. At home the government was
beloved and confided in by the humblest citi
zen. In four years what a change has over
taken and outstripped the progress of the na
tion ! What a change has taken place in its
government, its genius and its grandeur !
James Buchanan had scarcely been in power
two years when the results which we are now
reaping, amid anarchy and rebellion, seemed
to be vouchsafed in the recklessness of his ad
ministration, and the total disregard with
which a majority of his secretaries treated all
his recommendations at that time, showed too
plainly with what power the traitors ruled the
President, and how utterly hopeless hie influ
ence for good had become. The motive which
prompted every prominent southern man to
accept office under James Buchanan, was for
the success of the single purpose of
subverting the authority of this govern
ment, destroying its business operations,
impairing its credit, and draining its
resources. Cobb went into the Treasury
that he might the better purloin for self
aggrandisement, and thus more successfully
contribute to secession. Floyd assumed the
privileges and perquisites of the War Depart
merit that he could more completely disarm
the government, and with the weapons he stole
from the armories and arsenals belonging to
the people, arm his fellow traitors. Thompson
was a silent spectator of what was going on in
the Interior Department, leaving its bonds and
notes of credit at the mercy of gamblers and
dishonest clerks, while he himself was engaged
in the completion of the grand programme of
treason. Even the sagacious and erudite
Black laid aside his legal authorities in the At
torney General's office, to engage in these in
trigues and contribute his share to the well
considered plot of usurpation and rebellion, by
attempting to demolish Stephen A. Douglas,
then regarded by the Administration and the
traitors as the most dangerous obstacle in their
path to success. This is only a very brief re
cital of the work anterior to the active opera
tions of treason. The events of those dreary
four years, to be known as the infamous and
outrageous administration of James Buchanan,
are insignificant when compared with those
, which followed what is called the official or
ganization of the rebel government at Charles
ton, its removal to Montgomery, with its sub
sequent enormities in falsehood and fraud. In
one hour we are told that this rebellion was
organized to secure rights which had been out
raged, and in the next the announcement is
made that it is for the purpose of protect
ing those who had repudiated their honest
debts and committed outrages on defenceless
strangers sojourning in their land of treason.
If one day the world is informed that the lead
ers of this rebellion are struggling for the erec
tion of a government or equal and exact laws
for the protection of life and property, and in
the next the world is startled with the declara
tion that the government is based on the sla
very of one portion of mankind, and that its
religion and its laws are centered in the custom
and the right which make a chattel of a hu
man body and a barter of a human soul. From
perjuries and perfidy to prostitutions and
persecutions—from robberies to rebellion—
from arson to assassination, this movement of
men thus desperate and bloody has gone for
ward, until they stand to-day almost at the
mercy of the authority they have so despised,
and the laws they have so wantonly outraged.
The events on the part of the traitors, so full
of excess and heartless crime, have suddenly
been brought to a stand, and the nett that we
may now fairly anticipate will be in the action
of the government. Already has that action
been immense and potential. Already has it
fully tested and realized in enthusiastic legions
rushing to its aid, the Loyalty of the people.
Already has it vindicated its strength, and now
the event which is next to follow, in the natu
ral train of these occurrences, is the total hu
miliation and overthrow of the rebel forces.
Jeff. Davis is bound to offer or encounter bat
tle before many days have elapsed. He must
do this to retain the confidence and preserve
the enthusiasm of his troops. He must do this
to make good his word before the nations of
the world. We can afford to be patient in the
meantime, convinced that the event will re
dound to the glory of the nation, re-establish
ing its prestige while it re-asserts its power and
authority.
Tea Curium! or Vracinne complain that
the New York &naves are sent to fight them,
because they were only mechanics and laborers
before they entered the service of their coun
try. They complain that their equals in birth
and positions are not sent to cross swords with
them, declaring that if the government at
Washington does not
. pit gentlemen against gen
tlemen, the F. F. V.'s will be compelled to re
tire from the contest as vulgar and unequal, as
the famous Roger A. Pryor refused to fight the
ga ll an t John A. Potter, because the lowan had
selected the favofite weapon of the bloods of
the south, a bowie-knife—alleging that such a
weapon was interdicted by the principles and
usages of the duelo—being decidedly barbarous
to be offered as a subject for carving or dissec
tion. All this may sound very ridiculous to
the sensible and manly readers of the Tam
own, but it is nevertheless true that the lead-
Pertnepthania Malin it el egrap h, ellesbap 'Afternoon, 111(4 28, 1861.
ere of this rebellion regard the laboring man
and mechanic as their inferiors not only in so
ciety, life and business—but as beneath their
competition in the pursuit of happiness, and far
beneath them as contestants on a fair battlefield.
The southern leaders, soldiers and statesmen
have alwaysunderrated this element of northern
strength—or rather let us write northern society,
and that alike includes the mechanic and
laborer, as it does those who win wealth and
fame in the paths of art and science, as well at
those who rear collossal fortunes on the ventures
of commerce or the uncertainties of speculation .
This the people of the south would never be
lieve. They would not accept the laborer and
mechanic of the north as their equals—and
now when they come, panoplied in the power
and authority of the government, to chastise
and rebuke treason, the aristocratic traitor and
deceitful recreant and apostate shrink from
the encounter as one calculated to contaminate,
not conquer the lordlings. We want the
northern mechanic and laborer who swell
the ranks of our armies with their
broad shoulders and solid breasts, to re
member these taunts of exaggerated inferiority,
and when they bare their arms to strike, let it
be a blow that will put to flight the notion
gained by underrated conceptions. Let it be a
blow that will teach these pampered eons of
idleness and ignorance, that those whom they
underrate are in reality the representatives of
the valor, as they are in truth the embodi
ments of the chivalry of the age. The under
rated north has more to achieve than the mere
vindication and re-establishment of the power
of the government. It has more
4 to gain than
the rebuke and humiliation of traitors. It has
the glory and strength of its own children to
display in the force and energy with which It
will carry on its campaign against rebellion—and
when it has once achieved all this, there will
be no mere resistance to law, no more appeals
to arms, and no more questioning the authority
of the federal power as vested in the govern
ment of the United States. On, then, with the
mechanic and the laborer of the free, to quell
rebellion and punish base treason in the slave
states.
The following letter will explain special or
der, No. 1, which appears in the TELEGRAPH
this afternoon. In order to supply the neces
sities of the Pennsylvania troops at Washing
ton, the demands of some of those in camp in
Pennsylvania must be postponed until other
uniforms have been manufactured, which will
be as speedily as possible.
We invite the attention of the reader to the
letter of the Quarter Master General, as ex
plaining satisfactorily a very important con
nection with the clothing of the volunteers of
Pennsylvania :
MAD-QUAISTKES PENNSYLVANIA MILITIA,
QUARTER MASTER'S DEPARTMENT,
HARRISBURG, May 27, 1861.
To His Excellency, A. G. Curtin, Governor and
Commander-in-Chief :
Sln :—ln obedience to Special Order, No. 1,
of this date, "to forward the clothing, as per
requisition dated 23d of May, made by Cols.
McDowell and Hartrauft of the 4th and 6th
regiments, instead of sending it as heretofore
directed, " I shall proceed at once to Philadel
phia, and forward to Washington City the
clothing for the regiments of McDowell and
Hartrauft. It is but proper to state to your
Excellency that this departure from the order
of distribution of clothing now being made,
will necessarily delay the furnishing of cloth
ing to the other Pennsylvania regiments for
whose use the same was specially ordered. I
shall spare no exertions, however, to have all
the troops now mustered into the service of the
United States furnished with ample supplies
without delay. The deliveries of clothing for
the nine Regiments ordered to be furnished by
Act of Assembly is now being made as rapidly
as possible. The clothing has all been mann
factored by first class houses, of good material,
well made, and not a single article is allowed
to be delivered without being first carefully
examined and inspected by a sworn officer,
whose certificate must accompany every bill
before it can be certified by me. I trust that
these guards, while they may occasion some
delay in the delivery, will insure a good article
suitable for the soldiers and free from all cause
of complaint. Yours Respectfully,
R. C. HALE,
Quarter Master General P. M.
We print the following letter from the
Quarter-Master General, as an act of justice
and proper defence. It is our purpose, in this

Sin :—There appears to be a great misunder
standing among the troops now in Camp Curtin
as to my authority, as a public officer, to fur
nish them with clothing. Frequent applica
tions are made for shoes and other necessaries,
which I have no power or authority to grant.
Anxious as I am to do all I possibly can for
the comfort of the soldier, yet I am restricted
by the law of the commonwealth in the matter,
a reference to which will be seen, only permits
subsistence, and makes no provision for cloth
ing of any kind. Should lio face of the law,
purchase any clothing the bill would not be
passed by the Auditor General, or paid by the
State Treasurer, no fund being appropriated
for this purpose, and would make myself per
sonally liable. The law does not authorize
either to give or sell them shoes or clothing till
they have been mustered into the service. Be
fore that they are like any other citizens, but
when once mustered in they are entitled to
clothing and no effort shall be left unspared
to meet their wants.
THE SOUTHERN Bums have sent large orders
to Sheffield and Birmingham, England, for a
peculiar pattern of scalping knife. It seems
that the chivalry have forsaken their new con
struction of the use of the knife, which was re
garded as barbarous a few months ago, but
which they now adopt as the only weapon of
service to their cause. The history of the dag
ger, the scalping and the bowie knife, is the
same. All were and are used only by assassins
and freebooters. Thelold Spanish and Italian

treacherous and effective work. Among all
nations these weapons have always been re
garded as tho implements of cowards and as

sassins—and every robber or pirate that ever
disgraced the world or outraged humanity,won
their reputation with the knife. In this man
ner the rebois of the South intend to carry on
their warfare. In secret or in the dark, they
will stab the loyal troops of the government—
or in truce or on parole they will not hesitate
at assassination as the accomplishment of their
work of revenge. Provided always, that the
aforesaid rebels can succeed in being supplied
with the tools from Sheffield and Birmingham,
of which there are at present some serious
doubts.
FROM THE CAMERON KREBS.
Correspondence of the Telegraph,]
CATONSVILLE, Md., May 27, 1861
We left St. James Switch, on the Northern
Central Railroad, on Saturday afternoon for
Cockeysville, to join the advance of the Came
ron Guards. We had only reached the latter
point when we received orders to move for
ward again, and at once proceeded on the road
to the Monumental City. We reached Mill
vile, three miles this side of Baltimore, where
we were quartered for the night in a whisky
distillery, some of our comrades reposing on
the rather novel conch of a malt-tub, with the
fumes of whisky yet clinging to the
stones. In the morning we again took the
cars,!and were carried as far as Woodbury,when
we again came to a halt, stopping for nearly
three hours waiting for a dispatch to proceed
forward. At this point we met the Second
Brigade of the First Regiment, which badcome
down yesterday. A majority of the " boys "
were very anxious to remain here, attracted by
the bright eyes and brighter smiles of the
lasses who work in the cotton mills, and who
evidently regarded us northern barbarians as
not so barbarous as to be unapproachable or
unentertainable. But the word was given to
push on, and soon the bright eyes and smiles
of our fair charmers were lost in the dim dis
tance which hides many of our hopes and loves
—and in a very short time we were within the
precincts of Baltimore. Our presence at the
Depot was the signal for great rejoicing among
a large crowd assembled to welcome us. The
stars and stripes were hoisted, which we greet
ed with three as hearty cheers as ever issued
from the throats of men.
A. line was formed, and the order of march
up Preston street, when we halted for the oth
er division of our regiment. As we proceeded
on our march we were surrounded by a large
body of people, greeting us with the most
friendly, demonstrations of welcome and ap
plause. We remained in Preston street for
nearly two hours, and while there the people
seemed to vie each other in contributing food
and drink. Negroes were sent along the line
with water, others were distributing bread and
meat, and altogether, the people of this vicin
ity of Baltimore won our friendship and esteem.
We were soon joined by our other division,
formed in line and were surrounded by an im
mense throng of people, and then started for
our present quarters, five miles south-west
of Baltimore and four miles from the Relay
House. We are comfortably quartered in the
Maryland State Lunatic Asylum. The location
of our quarters is very healthy, from which we
have a splendid view of Baltimore, Forts M'-
Henry and Carroll. At night the scene is in
creased in beauty by the lights along the bay—
and altogether we are as happy and as content
ed as "boys" can be who are approaching a
battle field, where we expect to win our first
honors, and perform our first deeds of service
and patriotism for our country.
I had almost forgotten to mention that the
Cameron Guard (our company) were the first
to convey the Stars and Stripes proudly erect
and unfurled to the breeze, through Baltimore,
since the present troubles commenced. They
were carried by Second Lieutenant Awl.
With a kind word of remembrance to the
friends and the girls we left behind ns,
I am yours W. A. P.

HARRISBURG, May 28, 1881
I paid a visit to Camp Curtin this morning,
and through the politeness of the gentlemanly
managers of the Commissary Department, I
had an opportunity of inspecting it. I saw
bags of ground coffee, pile on pile 2
• rice in the
same proportion ; barrel upon barrel of fine
beans ; barrel upon barrel of fine crackeis ;
new bread by the cart-load, of fine quality. I
examined the flitch, had it cut open, and I
never saw better or purer meat, and as to the
salt pork, I never saw better anywhere ; not
one-third of the families in Harrisburg are so
well provided. Fresh beef in any quantities,
cut into stakes, and distributed, and of the beet
quality. Not a spoiled article or piece of tainted
meat did I see, and the man who would deli
berately publish , a misrepresentation of the
Commissary Department, and do this injustice
of the honorable managers and to the prejudice
to Gov. Curtin, must be devoid of truth and pa
triotism.
Sommer , ' HOSPITALITY.—The Southern pa
pers are generally accusing the New York
Seventh Regiment of gross ingratitude in
taking up arms against the South, after having
partaken of Southern hospitality. This is a
fair specimen of that Southern hospitality
which is on every Southerner's tongue. The
Seventh Regiment went to Richmond to help
some public ceremonies at their own cost, and
expended there about twenty dollars per
man, while they received Southern hospitality
to the amount of a dollar per man. This
astonishing and profitable Southern munifi
cence has been sung in their ears ever since,
and now it is claimed as quite treacherous
that, after having enjoyed such Southern hos
pitality, they should fight for the Government
against Southern rebels.
" PICATUAE Bum a."— Some idea . of the
stud published in the rebel newspapers and
palmed upon their ignorant readers as genuine,
may' be had by the following clipped from
one of the most noted papers in the South :
All the New England troops now in Wash
ington city are negroes, excepting three or
four drummer boys. General B. F. Butler,
who commands them, is a native of Liberia.—
Oar elderly readers must recollect "Old Ben,"
the barber, who kept his shop for so many
years in Poydras street, and then emigrated to
Africa, with a small competency. This General
Butler, of. Lowell, is his son.—N. O. Picayune.
Ora of the Ohio regiments recently elected
the Rev. Granville Moody, a well known
Methodist preacher of that State, their chap
lain. When their choice had been declared,
they sent to Brother Moody to ask him if he
would go. He replied : Why, yes, he would
like to be their chaplain—but with one condi
tion, that they would furnish him with a mus
ket ; "for," said he, "in our Methodist com
munion we do not believe in faith without
works." The Rev. Mr. Moody was furnished
with a musket, but it is doubtful whether his
sermons would not be found quite as effectual
i n scaring away the enemy.
EVERY MAN who offers his services to his
country in the present crisis, and is mustered
into service, will be entitled to land warrants
in addition to his regular pay, even if the war
is closed in thirty days. Privates will receive

tion to the rank they hold.
