HARRISBURG, PA Tuesday Atternoon, June 4, 1861 DEATH OF SENATOR DOUGLAS The following order from the War Depart ment is one of the most eloquent and liberal tributes that could possibly be paid to the memory of any man, however distinguished and prominent he might have been while liv ing. The order is to appear to•morrow, when the remains of the lamented statesman are ex pected to arrive in Washington. It will be read in advance by the people of the country, and received as much as the evidence of the kindly personal feelings of the Secretary of War, as it is the official recognition of the calamity of a great man's death : WASHINGTON, June 4 The death of a great statesman in this hour of peril cannot be regarded otherwise than as a national calamity. Stephen A. Douglas expir ed in the commercial capital of Illinois yester day morning at 9 o'clock. A representative of the over-powering sentiment enlisted in the cause in which we are engaged ; a man who nobly discarded party for country ; a Senator who forgot all prejudicies in an earnest desire to save the Republic ; a statesman who lately recieved for the Chief Magistracy of the Union a vote second only to that by which the Presi dent was elected, and who had every reason to look forward to a long career of usefulness and honor ; a patriot who defended with equal zeal and ability the Constitution as it came to us from our fathers, and whose last mission on earth was that of rallying the people of his own State of Illinois as one man around the glorious flag of the Union—has been called from the scene of life and the field of his la bore. This department, recognizing in this loss one common to the whole country, and pro foundly sensible of the grief it will excite among millions of men, hereby advise the col onels of the different regiments to have this order read to-morrow to their respective regi • ments, and suggest that the colors of the Re public be draped in mourning, in honor of the illustrious dead. SIMON CAMERON, Secretary of War THE SOUTHERN REBELS writhe ur — i7dErthe con viction that they are fighting against a good government. Whenever a northern journal falls into their hands, and they read the ac counts of preparations for a defence of the gov ernment, to maintain the Union, to enforce the law as it is construed by the Constitution, they explode in bitterness and passion, and prove conclusively that they feel their guilt, their utter and damning position of treason. The great north, or the great loyal states, are then referred to as a combination and a power to oppress the people of the south. Our re sources and our labor are described as the in fluences that will control and eventually ex terminate southern interests and institutions, while the truth is studiously avoided by south ern orators and newspapers, that the rebellion was organized to continue distinctions in society which have already impoverished the south, bankrupted her masses, and flattered her lead ers with the idea that they were born to gov ern and command. The rebellion of the south derives its vitality from the falsehood that it is a struggle for civil liberty. Jeff. Davis him self has declared that it is the last great hope and contest for freedom—when there is doubt less no man in this country more implacable in his hatred of civil and religious equality. This constant appeal to liberty and equal ity on the part of the leaders of the rebellion, is the best evidence we could ask, that they have no confidence in their cause. They charge the north with oppressing them in various ways, and in their failure to sustain their charge, they practice enormities to sustain themselves which are unknown in the worst governments in either pagan or Christendom. They talk of civil liberty, while they enact laws to abridge the rights the mass of men did enjoy under the protection of the federal government they have renounced. They abol• ish the franchise as dangerous, and then refer to the fact that as long as they were in a mi nority in the Union, they had no hope of secu rity and protection from law. They urge the invasion of northern territory, the seizure of federal property and the repudiation of indi vidual obligations, and then again talk of the sanctity of their cause, seeking for its success the alliance of foreign powers and invoking for its purity the blessing of Heaven. Certainly there never was a bad cause made worse by such criminal proceedings. The end of those who hive engaged in it will not be so terrible as the future condition of Lie men whom they have deceived ; because the experience of all past violent irruptions of society shows that the masses who were cajoled with the idea of being benefitted by the ambitious and design ing, were themselves the victims of a worse tyranny than that which they rebelled to de stroy. In this instance the most of men at the south are led on by a blind fear to accomplish the chimerical result by destroying the good they cannot excel, because they are told that they are in danger from the superiority . they catin , t equal. A nuignim occurred in the editorial notice of the death of Senator Dougl3es, printed in yesterday's T6LEURfLP.II, which the intelligent reader of course corrected. The abbreviation "Va." instead of " Vt." for Vermont was the error in potion. ME AIMS OF TEE AGE. We referred in a short article, a few days since, to the disposition of the American peo ple, to acquire sudden wealth. It is such a de sire that has had much to do with our present embarrassments. Coupled with the morbid ambition to make reputation without effort, it is baleful enough in influence to destroy any nation. In fact the desire for wealth is what has destroyed some of the most stupendous and powerful governments that ever commanded obedience or respect among mankind. Greece, Athens, Carthage and Rome began to show the evidences of decay the moment they ex tended their conquests beyond their natural bounds. The Camara, even while they were adding dominion to Rome, and filling her tem ples with the richest trophies, were unconsciously robbing the people of their strength and virtues, by wasting their energies on the battle field, or corrupting their manliness in the blaze and glory of conquests and coronations. The his tory of our government, while it does not par take of the infidel grandeur and social demor alization which distinguish so much of the career of the ancient republics, is yet similar in the tendencies Witch produced their decay and downfall. We have been a boasting, fighting, aggrandising and sometimes bullying people. We have deemed ourselves invinci ble when we were the weakest; impreg nable when most defenceless; and incorruptible when fraud, speculation, falsehood and open, brazerefact.d peculation were besieging the very vitals of the governtnent. All this arises from the desire to aconite wealth, coupled, as we have stated, to a morbid ambition to gain repu tation without an effort, and become famous, as men often become familiar, through im pudence and ignorance. The American peo ple, as a class, have a very poor appreciation of the useful. Notwithstanding all our achieve ments, we are yet strictly unable to appreciate the really practical ends and aims of life. In the pursuit of the mechanic arts and the profes sions,men must Libor incessantly before they can gain a name. They done this years ago, when true genius flourished, and mental energy found its way to success only by the light of the mid night lamp, or during the patient, and often wearisome struggles of the day. Now, how ever, the mode of acquiring reputation has changed. Great statesmen, great painters, preachers, poets and orators, are manufactured to order. The reputations which the most of men enjoy in these professions are produced for them, too often, we are sorry to admit, by the newspapers of the land. In this man ner the people are imposed upon, their public service neglected, and the responsibility of government, if not reposed in incompetent hands, is left to its own care, or corrupted for the emolument and elevation of demagogues, speculators, traitors and knaves. Commerce and trade, that feign to despise politics, and re fuse to participate in its primary proceedings, find very often when it is also too late, that the hands into which they have reposed their kb'ightfaeft l 'entgiA tegiFlaq r et or increase the sphere of trade. In legislation this is more particularly a failure as relates to the ends and the aims of the times. Those who are engaged in great enterprises—those who are laboring to promote the welfare of commonwealths and the nation by the develop. meat of new territories and the addition of new states—or by the increase of labor through the consumption of augmented communities—such men as these find when it is too late that they have yielded to a tendency of the age, which is to despise small things, to permit the general. ities of politics to pass into the hands of incom petent and irresponsible men. In this manner legislation becomes corrupt—government is tainted—and when rebellion and anarchy spread their wild terrors over the land, we wonder whence comes the influence which produced these changes, unwilling to place the responsi bility where it belongs, on our own neglect, our own pride, our own selfish regard for individual interests. Good government can only be achieved by good men. Every man in a com munity is interested in all that lends to its suc ' cess, and all are guilty of a most flagrant wrong when they neglect to secure the blessings of a good government and they are flagrantly guilty of this neglect whenever they refuse to enter into the details of politics. It is for them to purify what corruption has debased, and stay mismanagement and extravagance. From these defects, no state has suffered more than Penn sylvania. Our resources—the labor that de pends upon their development, and the capital which gives force and importance to both, alike suffer from the corruptions which have crept into party politics, and will continue so to creep, until we become utterly incompetent for self government. It is easy to write on such subjects, the peo ple will exclaim ; but how are we to remedy the evils? they next inquire. By thinking more and acting oftener for themselves. By the practical business men of the times partici pating more in the affairs of government. This they feign to despise, and refuse to do by declaring that politics have become too corrupt and debased for their participation. Such men as these should remember that they are as re sponsible for this corruption as those who con tribute to the debiment. If the business man would condescend to mingle with the politics of the day—if the upright and conscien tious citizen would take a more active part in the choice of rulers and representatives—the demoralization which now exists would soon be abolished, while the little great men would sooner find their level it their own estimation as well as the appreciation and confidence of the public. It wou'.d partially, at least, put an end to man worship, by changing the aims and the ends of the age from demagoguism and ignorant assumption, to the recognition of the abilities and claims of honest men in the administration of all just governments. HoN. HENRY D. Moon; State Treasurer, Hon. Thomas E. Cochran, Auditor General, and Captain Simmons, U. S. A., have been sum moned as witnesses before the Grand Jury of the United States District Court, to testify in the alleged suits of fraud, said to have been perpetrated against the United States in the furnishing of military stores and Ouppliim pennspluartia Matti QCetegral34, Zuesbag 'Afternoon, June 4, 1861. Tun TRAITORS have been busy in imbuing their blind and deluded followers, as well as the world, with the idea that the administra tion of Abraham Lincoln was a tyrannical oli garchy constituted for bloody purposes. The charge has been constantly encouraged, that the government intended to subjugate, and if that did not serve the purpose, it would ex terminate the people of the south. So far, the facts in this instance, as they have in all others, prove the foul falsehoods by which this rebel lion is maintained. The action of the admin istration has been such from the beginning as would prevent the sacrifice of life. The gov ernment has had the power to crush every traitor in the land, but it has studiously avoid ed its use, purposely to prevent the shedding of blood. From Fort Sumter, it was in the power of Maj. Anderson to have demolished Charleston, but his orders were against such action. From Cairo, the Mississippi's banks could have been destroyed, and towns and cities, with their men, women and children could have been engulphed in the wild waves of inundation. From Fort McHenry, Bal timore could long since have been made to bow her proud and traitorous head in her own ashes—but the mercy and forbearance of the government interposed between its duty and its action to prevent such calamities. On the other hand, the rebels have been guilty of every excess that violence or desperation could direct. They have imbrued their hands in the blood of our bravest soldiers, when a truce bad been proclaimed by themselves. They have made use of subtle poison, when they could not reach their victims with the fire brand or assas sin's blade. They have turned the track less ocean into a roving resort for pirates—and made the territory which they still possess the abode of free booters and outlaws. They have done these things in deed and in action, and yet they charge on the administration of Abra ham Lincoln the blood which stains their own hands, and fills their souls with guilty forebod ings of a just punishment in the future. The time has passed for the continuance of this forbearance, and the traitors at the South know it. They are not altogether unapprised of the movements on the part of the govern ment, nor can they any longer remain in ignor ance of the power they have invoked by so many wanton insults. Because they under stand these things, they adopt this method of professing a high regard for the rights of the people, and of declaring their purpose to have been the vindication of civil and religious liberty ; hoping thus to attract and appease the judgment of the world in their favor. Truly the way of the transgressor is hard. Official Report of the Fairfax Encounter. HEAD -QUARTERS, DEPARTMENT EASTERN VA. ARLINGTON, June 1, 1861. Colonel E. D. Townsend, Atzsistaut. Adjutant- General, Headquarters of the Army, Wash ington : SIR : The following facts have just been re ported to me by the Orderly Sergeant of Corn p_apy)3, of the Second cavalry, commanded by being too unwell to report in person:"--- It appears that a company of the Second cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant Tompkins, aggregate number seventy-live, left their camp at half-past ten o'clock last night on a scouting expedition. They reached Fairfax Court House about three in the morning, where they found several hundred men stationed, Captain Ewell, late of the United States Dragoons, said to be in command. A skirmish then took place, in which a number of the enemy were killed, how many the Sergeant does not know. Many bodies were seen on the ground, and several were taken into the Court House, and seen there by one of our cavalry, who was a prisoner in the Court House for a short time, and after wards made his escape. The following is the report by the Sergeant of our loss : Killed—Private Saintilair. Wounded—Corporal Max, ball through the hip; Corporal Turner, ball in the ankle; private Myuch, ball in the hand; private Bagge, ball in the foot. Missing—Private Sullivan. Total castitties, 6. Five prisoners were captured by our troops, their names being as follows : John W. Ryan, private of the Old Guard; H. F. Lynn, Prince William Cavalry; John A. Dunnington, Prince William Cavalry; F. W. Worders, Prince William Cavalry; W. F. Wash ington, son of the late Col. Washington, of the United States Army. Having no good means of keoping prisoners here, they are sent to head-quarters for further disposition. As soon as Lieut. Tompkins recovers, a less hurried report than this will be submitted by Col. Hunter, commanding the brigade. Official Report of the First Day's Engage ment at Acquia Creek. UNITED STATES STEAMER THOMAS' FREEBORN, OFF ACQUIA CREEK, POTOMAC; RIVER, May 31, 1861. SIR :—My immediate commanding officer, Flag Officer Stringham, not being present to receive it, I communicate directly to the de partment the report of a serious cannonade made by this vessel, supported by the Anacosta and Resolute steamers, upon the batteries at Acquia Creek this morning. After an incessant discharge, kept up for two hours by both our thirty-two pounders, and the expi nditure of all the ammunition suitable for distant firing, and silencing completely the three batteries at the railroad terminus, the firing from shore having been rapidly kept up by them until so silenced, and having been re commenced from the new batteries on the lieigh is back, which reached us in volleys, dropping the shot on board and about us like ha 1 for nearly an hour, but fortunately wound ing but one man, I hauled the vessel off, as the heights proved wholly above the reach of our elevation: Judging from the explosion of our ten sec ond shells in the sand batteries, two of which were thrown by the Auacosta, it is hardly pos sible the enemy can have escaped considerable loss. Several others of the Anacosta shells drop ed in the vicinity of the battery. 1 cannot speak in too high terms of the of ficers and men, whose coolness and activity uuder great exposure are beyond praise. As to the former, they all volunteered from civil life, none but myself being of the regular navy. I beg leave to ask for them a favorable con sideration by the government. The long thirty-two pundtrs in use are cf the old pattern, cast iu 1819, and cannot be cexcelled in precision. Both of the guns are on carriages of the new construction, devised by myself, and answered admirably, working with such ease that the crews came out of ac tion wholly nnfatigued. The extreme sweep of one hundred and forty degrees, with these carriages have, together with their cage and JOHN At oDoWELL, Brigadier General Commanding rapidity of movement, enabling the vessels to constantly change position, yet keep up an ac curate fire, which impaired the enemies range and direction, they firing alwa3s with rifled cannon, is to be materially attributed to our escape without loss of Hie or damage to the vessel or machinery. The men say they are as fresh from fatigue as when they entered ac tion. We cannonaded for an hour before th same batteries the day before yesterday, but the tide being out, neither party reached with any cer tainty I doubt if it is possible to reduce the batteries now established on the heights from slips, nor is it all important comidering that they are remote from the ship channel of the river, and command only the railroad ter minus. Yesterday I landed in person, with acting master Budd and masters's mate Lee, and a small party of seamen, and made a most min ate exploration, extending over the whole of Mathias Point. I am, therefore, able to speak with ocular certainty, and to say that not a sign of a movement, the cutting of a sapling, driving a stake, or casting a shovel full of earth towards the erection of a battery, exists. The jungle is very thick, but we penetrated a belt of it, three hundred yards wide from the shore and three miles in length, assuring ourselves of the fact as stated in this report. I have especially to ask for the steamers Re liance and Resolute, of this flotilla, each a small rifled cannon, in addition to the smooth bored gun with which they are provided. For the want of a rifled gun in them I was obliged to forbid their coming closely under a fire to which they could not reply with even an ap proximate effect. I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, JAS. H. WARD. Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy, Washington, D. C. FROM THE STATE CAPITAL GUARDS, Correspondence of the Telegraph.] CAMP CHAMBERS, Near Chambersburg, Pa. June 3, 1861. The State Capital Guards have gone into Camp duty in earnest. The regiment to which they belong being encamped on the farm of Mr. Bitner, about three miles from Chambers burg, on the Greencastle road. The situation of the camp is a very delightful one. A stream of spring water runs through the camp, and about two hundred yards to the rear is the beautiful Connegoehique creek, where the men have an excellent bathing place. In sight of our camp there are four regiments encamped— the third, the Scott Legion, the Irish Brigade and the twenty fourth regiment. They are all in good health and fine spirits, and, with the exception of camp wagons and teams, are fully armed and equipped. The first march we made with all our accou trements was from Chambersburg here. The men stood it admirably, although they bad forty rounds of ball cartridges, a heavy over coat and musket to carry, and the sun blaz ing hot. Upon our arrival at the camp ground we found the tents bad not arrived, and our men,'consequently, had to put through the day under a scorching sun. The next morning after our arrival Lieut. Charles Davis detailed a squad of men from our company to cut a pole for the purpose of planting the American flag in front of our quarters. Accordingly the pole was procured, when the Lieutenant tack ed the flag to the staff, and the men placed it in its position in front of our quarters. It was the first flag raised in Camp Chambers, and when its bright stars and broad stripes flew to the breeze such a shout went up as is seldom heard. After the flag was raised, private Lot B. Al oof lilidclleeown, a member of our company, of which was joined in by every one present. A beautiful staff and flag was subsequently erected in the centre of the camp, by order of Col. Stumbaugh. We have had numerous visits from citizens of Harrisburg. A. J. Jones, Esq., Dr. Heisley, and Mr. George Bell, visited us a few days ago. They kindly furnished our men with tobacco and cigars, for which the men wish to have thanks tendered. General William H. Miller also paid us a visit. He placed in our Lieuten ant's hand a five dollar gold piece, for the use of the company. The money was duly ex pended, for paper, envelopes, postage stamps, and tobacco and cigars. All such visits from our friends are duly appreciated, as most of our men are entirely out•of funds. We hear that there is a report in Harrisburg that a great deal of dissatisfaction exists among the members of the State Capital Guards. I can only refer your readers to the gentlemen above named as to the correctness of the re port. There is not a word of truth in it. B. A CARD TO ME LADIES.
