HARRISBURG, PA
Thursday Afternoon, June 6, 1861.
ERRATUM.
In the editorial headed "Our Duty," in
yesterday's TELEGRAPH, the title of the Potts
ville Emporium was printed for the Miners' Journal.
The departed spirit of the lamented Empo
rium will accept this explanation as an apology
for what might seem an unprovoked assault,
while the Journal may consider it the reitera
tion of what we so frankly expressed in re
gard to its opinion of our duty.
ACTION OF Tim: PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,
We give below, in detail, the resolutions of
loyalty passed by the General Assembly of the
Old School Presbyterian Church, recently in
session in the city of Philadelphia, which we
have not heretofore published. Most of the
papers have given them as originally introduc
ed by the venerable Dr. Spring, not noticing
that they were considerably modified before
their final passage. The principal amendment
made was designed to obviate the objections of
those who urged that the resolutions, as intro
duced, seemed to endorse a particular adminis
tration, instead of asserting the duty of alle
giance to the general government of the Union,
no matter by whom adminstered. Although
this construction was evidently a strained one,
the Assembly thought it best to remove all
doubt upon the subject, and the language of
the deliverance was so modified as to express in
clear and positive terms the duty of loyalty to
thecentralgovernment,constitutionally chosen,
without regard to the political party by whom
it may have been elevated to power. The
resolutions were finally adopted, after a long
and exciting debate, by a vote of 154 to 66.
Those who voted in the negative did so with a
view to preserve the unity of the church,
believing that they would thus materially as
sist in maintaining the Union of the states: and
the fact is somewhat remarkable that at least
one member of President Lincoln's Cabinet
fully esia-swsssa iss "-is:—
one we have no doubt. If the south
ern portion of the church is loyal, they cannot
object to the passage of the resolutions. If
they-are not, they had better separate at once .
The old Scotch Irish Presbyterian element of
Pennsylvania, and the Union loving Presby
terians:of the great north west, desire no affilia
tion with those who are seeking the overthrow
of the best government the world ever saw.
That there are many loyal Presbyterians at
the south we do not for a moment doubt. In
fact all the delegates from the seceded states
upon the floor of the Assembly avowed them
selves Union men, and deprecated the passage
of the resolutions solely upon the ground that
it would impair their influence at home. But
in the end we doubt not the action of the As
sembly will be found in accordance alike with
patriotism and policy, and when this wicked
rebellion is finally crushed, the loyalty of the
church will stand approved by all who fear God
and honor the ordinances which He has Him
self established.
The resolutions, as adopted, are as follows :
Gratefully acknowledging the distinguished
bounty and care of Almight God towards this
favored land, and also recognizing our obliga
tions to submit to every ordinance of man for
the Lord's sake, this General Assembly adopt
the following resolutions :
Resolved, That, in view of the present agi
tated and unhappy condition of this country,
the let day of July next be hereby set apart as
a day of prayer throughout our bounds, and
that on this clay ministers and people are called
on humbly to confess and bewail their national
sins, and to offer our thanks to the Father of
light for His abundant and undeserved good
ness towards us as a nation, to seek his guid
ance and blessing upon our rulers and their
councils, as well as the assembled Congress of
the United States, and to implore Him, in the
name of Jesus Christ, the great High Priest of
the Christian profession, to turn away his an
ger from us, and speedily restore to us the
blessings of a safe and honorable peace.
Resolved, That this General Assembly, in the
spirit of that Christian patriotism which the
Scriptures enjoin and which has always char
acterized this Church, do hereby acknowledge
and declare our obligation to promote and per
petuate, so far as in us lies, the integrity of
these United States, and to strenthen, uphold
and encourage the Federal Government in the
exercise of all its functions under our noble
Constitution, and to this Constitution in all its
provisions, requirements and principles, we
profess our unabated loyalty. And to avoid
misconception, the Assembly declare that, by
the terms " Federal Government," as here
used, is not meant any particular administra
tion, or the peculiar opinions of any political
party, but that central administration which
being at any time appointed and inaugurated
according to the forms prescribed by the Con
stitution of the United States, is the visible re
presentative of our National existence,
WRITE TO THE SOLDIERS.— We would urge
the wives, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters,
and even the sweethearts of the soldiers, to
WRITE To THE BOYS, We know from experience
bow sweet and precious is a good loving latter
from borne, breathing affection and telling the
family and neighborhood news. We, one of
us, no matter who, have served our country in
war, and we know that there (is nothing a
soldier prizes so highly as a letter from home.
It is a little thing to write a letter, and yet
nothing gives more happiness to the absent
loved one.
WHEN WILL JUSTICE BE DOW
So far, the administration at Washington,
acting on the power conferred upon its officers,
has nobly discharged its high obligations to
the American people. Every department has
acted in conjunction, until the unit has become
a powerful and an almost irresistable force.—
But while all this has been going on—while
force has been adding to force, and the
influ
ence of the government is daily concentrating
and consolidating its power, treason and traitors
have also been accumulating and multiplying,
almost unrebuked, if we except where they
have been over-awed, and only punished by
the random shots of our soldiers, who were
compelled to retain their fire, for fear of shed
ding blood. Dare we not surmise that this is
wrong, and ask, too, when will justice be dons?
Dare we not inquire when traitors are to be
punished ? We trust that this war is not to
result in hollow truce or farcical oaths of alle
gience or paroles of honor. Traitors must he
punished for their treason. They have a right
to what they merit. The country demands
that they should receive their dues, and the
country begins to echo with the question, when
will justice be clone? We answer, not until every
traitor in the land suffers to the extent of his
treason the penalty awarded by the constitu
tion and laws of the land. If examples had
been made in Baltimore ; if Winans and
Kane had been tried, they could have
been fairly convicted of treason. What then ?
If they had been hung, the example would 'have
been both terrible and timely. If from the
hundreds taken prisoners in Virginia, the
leaders had been selected, tried and condemned
' on the evidence of their own attitudes and de
clarations, and justice meeted out to them, the
strength of the government would have been
increased two-fold from the moment these trai
tors were suspended from the gibbet, the law so f
the country elibited a firmer respect, and con
stitutional authority become more potent and
supreme. These are truths in law and fact,
which we are bound to respect. Unless we ad
minister the law, there is no purpose achieved
in contending with armed forces for its suprem
acy. Unless we mean what we declare, when
we proclaim our purpose to be the vindication
and support of the government, there is no
necessity for exhausting our treasures, wast
ing our energies by withdrawing from our fields
of industry and enterprise the mind and muscle
of the country. Men are daily punished in the
loyal states for the violation of the law. Then
why should not these traitors also be punished ?!
For burglary and forgery, for ( larceny and per
jury, the jails and penitentiaries of the free and
loyal states shut out from society many a better
man than those who are now engaged in a
sworn combination to destroy the government,
deplete its treasures, exhaust its resources and
usurp its laws and constitution. Then, why
are these not also punished ? Simply, because
the government has not exactly come up to the
demands of the people, in this particular. The
policy which delays the retribution—the coun
cil that would stay the punishment, and permit
the crime to increase in audacity and strength,
are not the elerna. 4 — the influences which
are aestmed to preserve and maintain chi me
nation. By the law we were created—by the
law we can alone exist. We ask for nothing
more—the people fight now for nothing less,
and any midway policy, which seeks a compro
mise with treason, or a conciliation that would
afford an escape to traitors, would be far more
disgraceful than a surrender of all our princi
ples, all our privileges and all our positions to
the traitors. Let us have justice. Let us begin
at once to deal oat jirtice to those taken with '1
arms in their hands, or those arrayed in hostil
ity to the government. Drum-head court
martials, conviction and the gibbet, are more
essentially necessary to put an end to rebellion
at the south, than all the constructions which
"red tape" can give to constitutions, more
effectually than paroles of honor, or more per
manently than concessions or compromises. If
we delay this action, the danger lights upon
the future by the precedent we create in our
supineness. If we hesitate, we assure our foes
of a weakness that first gave strengtk and pres
tige to their movements. But if the govern
ment is sternly prompt in its dealing with
traitors, arraigning them where they stand,
punish them as they deserve, the strength of
our cause will be increased by the example of
our justice, made as well in the extermination
of traitors as in the vindication of the laws of
the land. Delays are dangerous--but above all
the delays, that which postpones justice, when
armed traitors are in the field, should be the
most avoided as well as the most dreaded
INTERESTING COMPARISON.
The following table will be found to be very
interesting, as showing the relative strength
of the free and bond population in the slave
states, by the increase and decrease it makes
from year to year. The figures were compiled
from officials ources, and are worthy the study
of political economist.

These figures show that in Kentucky, Mis
souri, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia slavery
is gradually on the decrease—but the increase
in the other states far exceeds the decrease in
the first named states, which of course, can
not affect the aggregate of slavery itself. The
increase of free population in several of the
states, does not exceed that of the slave,

is very great.

MASSACHUSETTS AND sOUTHCAROLLYA
We occasionally hear the assertion that Mas
sachusetts and South Carolina are the two ex
tremes of which it would be a blessing if the
people of this country could rid themselves.
As to South Carolina, we are not willing to
question the application of the riddance, or the
certainty of the blessing were that common
wealth and its traitors blotted from existence.
But Massachusetts has a hold on the people of
this continent, which it would be hard to shake
off. On this continent, Massachusetts estab
lished the first school, incorporated the first
academy, and endowed the first university.—
She set up the first printing press, printed the
first book, and published the first newspaper.
She launched the first ship, killed the first
whale, and made the first discoveries in the
Pacific and South seas. She digged the first
canal, and built the first railroad ; coinedsithe
first money, and unfurled the first national
flag. She fired the first gun, shed the first
blood, and gained the first victory in the war
of the revolution. She drew the first lightning
from heaven, performed the first painless op
eration in surgery, and invented the magnetic
telegraph. She taught the first blind and deaf
mute to read, and established the first school
for the discipline of idiots. And now, in the
latter days, she came first to the relief of the
capital, and fired the first gun and shed the
first blood in the war of the Constitution. Of
South Carolina we can declare that she inaug
urated the first rebellion in this country—cher
ished the first traitors—clings to the last
vestige of aristocracy—adopts fugitive rebels
as loyal citizens, and makes the principles of
slavery the arbiter in the jury box., the pulpit,
and the business mart. Who would give up
the glory and the usefulness of old Massachu
setts, for the treachery and lawlessness of South
Carolina ?
WHY ARE THERE NO TRAVELERS GOING SOITITI
—The exodus from the south to the north is
unprecedented. The wealthy are flying, leav
ing their property behind. The old are totter
ing from the homes of their childhood. The
beautiful are hurrying in terror from their
haunts of pleasure. The young are sent away
for safety and protection. Husbands' fly with
their wives, fathers with their families, mo
thers, pressing their babes to their bosoms,
with prayers to God on their lips for guidance
and protection, fly from the sunny south, has
ten from its hospitable homes, give up its ge
nial climate, for the rude and barbarous homes
and haunts of the frozen north. Why is this
so? Why are there no travelers going south ?
Because the south is fast becoming the theatre
of crime, lust, lawlessness and death ; where
the right of property is no longer recognizeed—
where defencelessness invites to outrage—
where virtue depends upon the hazard of a die
—where beauty is made subservient to brutal
lust—where order and security and peace are
in the hands of a mob maddened to fury by
falsehood and whisky, and led on to vandal
ism and deeds of blood, by the most desperate
and ambitious traitors and demagogues. The
south is no longer a safe home for women and
children. It affords no longer a refuge for the
defenceless. It has become the abode
of traitors, the ntuus os usurpers, and the
great source of rapine, robbery and rebellion.
Its social order has been changed to anarchy.
Its refinements have become pestilential. Its
religion, a mockery of justice. Its faith, the
assassin's blade. And its destiny, of a highre
nown while in the company of loyal and pros
perous commonwealths, has been changed to
one of ignominy and disgrace. And all this
has been done by traitors, in the name of the
sacred principles of freedom !
GENERAL SCOTT AND THE TRAITOR
When Frank Pierce occupied the Presiden
tial chair, Jeff. Davis, the arch traitor, was Sec
retary of War. At that time it seemed to be
the policy of Pierce and Davis, for some cause,
to humble and disgrace General Scott ; but the
indignation of the people and the spotless pu
rity of the Old Hero's character preventerl the
conspirators (for we can only regard the efforts
for that purpose as conspiracy) from carrying
out their designs. general Scott came out of
the controversy vindicated ; his reputation was
uninjured, and it is related of him by those
who know the man, that he has never forgiven
Davis the mean part he played in that bus.
ness. Therefore General Scott embraces the
present to repay Davis for his treachery,
not only to his country, but also for his
dastardly treatment of himself. Scott is de
termined to surround and hem in the arch
traitor, so as to make his escape impossible, if
he heads his rebel cehorts in an open fight,
unless he does so by his own hands in suicide.
The plan and the purpose is to take Davis and
as many of his advisers as possible prisoners,
and, having them in possession, make a speedy
and a prompt example of each after a fair trial.
There is no reason in wasting powder on such
wretches. Death by the bullet would afford
an honorable transit for them from this to an
other world. Hemp is what they have earned
—infamy is what they deserve—and it seems
to be the purpose of General SeOtt, while he is
endeavoring to carry on his campaign without
the loss of life among those whom he is lead
ing, to bring the traitors to a terrible punish
ment. So far as Davis is concerned, we trust
that the Old Hero may realize. all his dreams
of retribution and retaliation.
THE NATIONAL I NTELLIGNNOER says that two

in the cause of the sick and the wounded of

their services, to take charge of hospitals, am

hostilities will occur at Manassas Junction or

A band of telegraphic operators has been or

There is no doubt that the traitors are con
centrating in great force at the Manassas Junc
tion of the Manassas Gap Railroad with the Or
ange and Alexandria Railroad. General Scott
last evening received intelligence of the arrival
at that point of the long-lost and much dis
cussed General Beauregard. My informant is
positive of this fact. Beauregard states that
he does not expect to remain at Manassas
Junction more than two or three days, which
may contemplate an advance upon Alexandria,
distant about forty-five miles, or a retreat
should he be attacked by the column under
General John M'Dowell.
A large force moved from this city late on
Tuesday night, and other troops have been
and are being despatched. The traitors are
said to be strongly fortified. They have plant
ed five heavy batteries behind earthworks, two
batteries of light field pieces, and have addi
tional batteries of heavy guns posted upon the
high grounds.

guns turned upon the Ferry. He explored
three routes by which the troops can approach
