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

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

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.

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.

3,000,000 Pennsylvania State Loan,
THE SUBSCRIBERS having been author
ized by the Governor and State Treasurer to irocure
bids for a Loan recently authorized by the Legislatur e of
Pennsylvania, would respectfully appeal to the patriot
ism and et,at2 pride of Pennsylvanians in this hour o'
trial, that they come forward and manifest their love of
the old Commonwealth by a prompt and cordial reSpOriZe
to her call.
But Independent of any motives of patriotism, them
are considerations or self-interest which may be consid.
ered in reference to this Loan. It is a six Der cent. Loan,
payable in ten years, free from any taxation whatever,
and bidders can have the privilege of toting Certificates
of $5O, SICO 3 $5OO, $1,009,„ or larger sums, and either
coupon or transferable man. A special tax, amourp iug
to about Three Hundred Thousand Dollars per annum, le
by this Loan Bill levied, and is to be applied to the pa,.
ment of the interest on the Loan, and to the purpwee of
a liberal Sinking Fund. The bill itself stringently gu„ r d„.
against any but an economical and judicious expenitture
of the money, and throws around its disbursement, ag
will be see, by the annexed card of the State Treasurer,
the most sat'sfactory checks and guards. The number
of taxabe inhabitants within the State is now nearly
seven hundred thousand—thus showing that the abc,c
Loan added to our debt, only amounts to the trile
of
four dol:ars and fifty cents for each taxable ; and be
sides it is confidently expected that most of the funds
now disbursed, being really in aid of the General Gov.
ernment, will be in due time returned to our Treasure.
Please advise us on or before tho eighth of June, the
amount you will subscribe.
