TIM lINION-THEI CONSErruiION---AND
TEE ENFORCEMENT OF TRE LAW.
HARRISBURG, P.A.
Thursday Afternoon, June 20, 1861.
A llama of the southern daily papers
have reduced their dimensions one half, while
many others have done so altogether. The
New Orleans dailies are 'suffering greatly in
curtailed advertising and diminished subscrip
tion patronage. All the result of secession,
yet these are the journals that have been for
years boasting of the benefits to be derived
from distinion.
THE REPVELICANS of the Second Congres
sional District, have brought out the Hon.
William M. Meredith as an independent can
didate for Congress. Mr. Meredith has only
recently been appointed Attorney General of
Pennsylvania, in which position he can serve
his country in this crisis equally as well as if
he were in Congress, but it is for Mr. Meredith
and the Republicans of the Second district,
not ue, to decide the preference. Among the
able men of the country, he has no superior,
and for sincere devotion to principle and pa
triotism, he certainly deserves and possesseS
the confidence of the people.
WHAT Is TaBASOI4 P—"Treaeon against the
United States consists only in levying war
against them or in adhering to their enemies,
giving them aid and comfort." These are the
words of the constitution of the United States.
But what" is levying war against the United
States? "Levying war is of the same import
with raising or creating war." So says Chief
Justice Marshall. After this is done, says the
same Judge, not only those in the troop com
mit treason, but all who aid in promoting it,
commit treason. The commissary, who brings
provisions; the recruit ng officer, who raises
and forwards men to the army, commits trea
son. The number constituting the hostile force
is not material. A few may commit treason as
well as a host. There need not be lighting--
enlisting and marching - is enough.
What is adhering to the enemies of the
United States—giving them aid and comfort?
Wharton says, "joining the enemy's forces,"
though no acts of hostility be committed by
them ; " raising troops for the enemy ;" supply
ing the enemy with money, arms or intelligence,
&c„ though such money, arms or intelligence
be intercepted and never reach the enemy. All
these things constitute high treason, and are pun
. fishable with death.
These definitions of treason may be of use to
Many 'a man even in Pennsylvania, and for
such as these we quote them, with the advice
that the quotations may be preserved for in
struction and protection. We know more than
one man who would be benefitted did he paste
this article in. the crown of his hat, and study
its advices as he displayed his politeness with
his hat in his band.
TIE ENGLISH LANGUAGE has been frequently
tested in bombast to describe the character and
quality of southern chivalry. Southern gentle
men who boasted oflineage and whipped niggers
for pastime, were represented as Cavaliers of
spotless honor, with lineage that coursed quickly
through the veins at any wrong action ; men of
generous impulses, who scorned to be guilty of
a meanness or petty villainy ; and mythical
Lords Hobert d'Artois or Sirs Robert de Coverly,
always' on the alert to defend the oppressed and
punish the, oppressor'. These were the South
ern cavaliers as represented by themselves, but
what are they in fact ? The present war has
brought out their character, and no native
Congo is blacker. They plunder a woman's
trunk with: as little remorse as they hang an
unarmed and utioffending Northerner. They
Confiscate a wandering pedler's pack with as
little shame as they steal a Government fort.
They tar and feather a poor schoolMaater with
as little repugnance as they desecrate the flag
that has so long protected them. They mur
der an American soldier while performing his
duti with as little compunction as they. Phan
der a mint or rifle a 11. S. Mail bag. Thus far
their chivalry has found vent in such actions
as these; and.their courage has been exhibited
each brilliant exploits as surrounding a star
ving' gestison of seventy-five men with ten
thousand, and reducing it ; in mobbing soldiers
In Baltimore, and running as soon as fired upon;
in stealing upon a-picket guard in companies,
taloa* hint,: and scampering off as fast as
their legs could carry•them ; in attacking small
parties ofAmericau soldiers and running after
the first fire ; and in boasting that they were
going to take Washington .but never marching
near it. Yet deedg like these command the ad
miration and apple:nee of the Southern press
and people. Ate like these they call chivalry !
lfPoreril of the Peak or Charles de Mont
utortecy don't blush at such, a slander on their
fair ,fame, or groan in their coffins at such an
insult to their brave deeds of gallant courage,'
it, is a wonder. Yet these fellows sneer at the
i maritics of the North, and call our millions of
brave and hardy men "mud-Bills !" These
pampered and ended darlings of indolence and
aristecricy arrogate for themselrni the name tf
Cavaliers, .'and curl their lips at the “g reas y

IMEM
EVERY DAN divulges some new feat - lire in the.
origin and progress of the secession movement,
assisting to augment its horrors and increase
its enormities. The late encounters in Vir
ginia are among the last of the evidences we
have had to prove that the leaders in this
movement are actuated by any other motive
than that of wreaking a mean revenge on the
life and property of the people of the north, or
rather those who have rallied to the support
and preservation of the government. - - Masked
batteries, pouring hot shot into crowded rail
road trains—violated oaths of allegiance when
opportunity presents itself—the poisoning of
springs, with the exhibition of the most shame,
less cowardice in retreating from points which
they had strengthened and secured for battle,
combine to prove how mean a composition is
the quality of southern courage which the
world has been receiving and applauding as
genuine prowess and bravery. Bat these pre
sent enormities sink into insignificance when
compared to the motives and objects of those
who are engaged in this rebellious struggle.
They become unimportant, as history and
memory unfold their ample pages and record,
divulging the startling truth that for thirty
years we have been associating with traitors.
That for thirty years we have been contributing
to the
,support of a people who were plot
ting to distroy our civilization, that their bar
barism might be advanced. That while the
industrial classes of the free states were labor
ing and struggling to develop° the territory pur.
chased or acquired by this government,'the
slave holders of the south were secretly en
gaged in conspiracy to usurp the power of this
government—destroy the guarantees it had
vouchsafed to all men, for life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness—and bring it utterly and
completely within the power and control of an
oligarchy. In that thirty years the legislation
of this government has been almost exclusively
devoted to the interest and influences that are
now at work to destroy the same government
—and now that the excuses, which they pre
sent for their treason, are failing before the na
tions of the world," the disguise is fast tieing
thrown off, and the startling truth presents it
self that instead of being the impulsive move
ment of a people long suffering from opprols
ston, the rebellion is only the result of a plan
long considered and a purpose longer contem
plated to destroy free, in order to erect on their
ruins, slavery instituti .ns on this hemisphere.
Since the deathof Senator; Douglas, we are
informed that he bad bean engaged, for months,
in preparing an expose of the'conspiracy now
armed and arrayed for battle, and that be had
received such information from a personal in
tercourse with the traitors; on the floors of
both Houses of Congress, and in the social in
timacies of private life, that would positively
prove the movement to have been under con
sideration for many years. Edward Everett,
in a private letter recently published, has also
declared this fact, and makes the assertion that
for thirty years leading southern politicians
have been resolved to break up the Union, and
that the slavery question was but a pretext to
maintain agitation and hold the south together.
The conspiracy of Burr, to revolutionize Mexico,
take possession of the mouth of the Mississippi
river, and erect an independent monarchy, to
Le formed partly of states along the Gulf of
Mexico and Mexico itself, was only the precipi
tate and initiatory movement of the present
rebellion, and failed, not for want of design or
intention and willingness to accomplish it, but
because it had neither strength, or potency or
power to succeed. The same poison which
spread desolation over the hearth and home
of Blannerhasset is now at work to diffuse
its poison through the homes of the north,
and gathering rancor and force from the
folds of its own corruption, it biases a death
knell into the ears and darts a death blow 'at
the heart of every laboring man in the land
—because, after all our discussion and examina
tion of the facts connected with this rebellion,
they resolve and re•resolve themselves into the
startling truths that it is a conspiracy to make
labor subservient to capital—to destroy its in
fluence in society—to unfit it thus for self-gov
ernment, and to make it, to all intents and
purposes, the man and the maid servants of an
aristocracy that;had its origin first among the
gloom and ignorance of the darkest ages in the
world's history,
Dark, desperate and terrible then, are the
designs of this conspiracy. If it were only a
rebellion to crush a political party, we could
hope that at some future day it would end.
But such is not its intentions. It is a wild and
infamoustitterapt forever to crush out free in
stitutions—forever to destroy the 'influence of
free labor, arid prove the inability of' e n for
self-government. In an issue thus made up,
thero can but one purpose animate those who
are struggling for life and liberty. Either the
treaters must be exterminated—their influence
and numbers completely destroyed, or all hopes
of future peace, and 'prayer for the perpetuity
of this government, will alike prove insane and
useless. '
Garr. Sam has received an ear of green corn
with the compliments of Jeff. Davis's private
secretary. It is ir gentle hint that the south,
have still some means of support. About .the
time Gen. Scott received this, an elegant ben
quet was presented to him, with the compli
ments of Mrs. Lincoln. The General, with
great promptness, requested his military rieere-
Mry, Col. Hamilton, to bear his kindest re
gards to Mrs. Lincoln' for her beautiful 'gift,
and at the same time to present her the ear of
corn, as the latest curiosity surrendered by the
enemy, and to add, that from the appearance
of the ear, if it was a fair specimen of the
whole southern crop, our army would be down
there soon enough to gather it for them.

an ordinance has been passed, by 73 to 3, pro
viding for:the entire . re-organization of the
state government. Every officer_ is,obliged to
swear, allegiance to the United States, and to
repudiate all other allegiance. The convention
will proceed at once to choose a Governor and
Council. A new state seal and other emblems
of authority have been ordered.
Tssurssim the vote for separation was 99,-
296, egairutt 44,206. This large vote in favor
of secession is explained by the fact that in
precincts where there were only from thirty to
forty legal taxable voters, the vote cast was
from three to five hundred.

Waszeurrox, June 20.
There is reason to believe that the lines of
the Disunion troops extend from the neighbor
hood of Occoquan as far as Centreville, and
that they are entrenching with heavy guns in
the neighborhood of Fairfax station, three and
a half miles from Fairfax Court House, and
fourteen miles from Alexandria. It is suppossd
they may purpose an extension of their forces
along the line of the Orange and Alexandria
Railroad, now rebuilding, with the view of at
tacking the Zouaves who are now guarding the
repaired bridges on this side. All the indica
tions go to show that the Disunion troops are
being pushed forward from Manassas Junction,
by daily instalments, to points nearer the Fed
eral lines.
Score caution is exercised than formerly in
granting passes to visit the encampments on
the Virginia side, while none are given for the
gratification of mere curiosity.
If the accounts which reach here are cor
rect, and it seems that they are, the rebels
from Manassas Junction are extending and
strengthening their outposts, and, from indi
cations to-day, the Government is not insensi
ble of the movements of the enemy in this
direction.
THIRD DISPATCH.
A report has reached here that the Federal
lines on the Virginia side have been fired on by
the enemy and extraordinarymilitary operations
are consequently in progress. The United
States Cavalry have recieved marching orders
and may have already started. The Artillery
and Fire &naves have been ordered to hold
themselves in readiness. The 14th Regiment
New York Volunteers have reached here.
WILMINGTON, DEL., June 20.
The Henry Clay factory, owned by E. J. Du
pont & Co., situated near Wilmington, was
destroyed by fire this morning. The insurance
on the building is nearly sufficient to rebuild
it. The machinery is a total loss, and was only
partially insured. The mill was worked by
Mr. Griffith and was engaged in manufacturing
cloth for the 'Government. A number of per
sons are thrown out of employment. The cause
of the fire is unknown.
THE Per AND PENSION OE 012111 VOLVNTBERS.—
The following recapitulation affords useful
information to volunteers and their families :
lst. Alter being mustered into the service of
the United States, volunteers are entitled to
pay the same as regular troops.
2d. It disabledd , by wounds receivedin service
or disease contracted in service, they are enti
tled to an invalid pension during life, or as
tong as the disability continues.
Bd. If any are hided or die in_the_ service of
the United States, leaving a widow, she is en
titled to what pay is due her husband, and a
pension. If there is no widow, the child or
children of such volunteer is entitled to the
pay and a pension until they are sixteen years
of age.
4th. If there is no widow or child under six
teen years of age, the other heirs of decedent
are entitled to the pay due the volunteer—no
pension. At this time, neither the volunteers
nor any heir is entitled to land warrants, but
there is no doubt an act of Congress will be
passed early in July, granting one hundred and
bixty acres to every volunteer who shall serve
tourteen days, or engage in battle and he hon
orably discharged—first to the widow, second to
the children, third to the mother, fourth to the
father ; and if all the foregoing heirs be dead,
fifth to the brothers and sisters of those who
may so serve and die without so receiving a
warrant, in like manner as the volunteers who
served in Mexico are now rewarded. Seamen
and others who take prizes, and those perform
ing meritorious feats, will undoubtedly be re•
warded with the fruits of their valor. Those
patriotic men and women who suffer from rob
bery in the slave States under the name of con
fiscation, will almost certainly be rewarded,
according to the scripture rule, fourfold from
the property of the rebels—ail State confisca-
tions being illegal—and mere organized piracy
will be punished, and Congress will undoubt
edly pass a proper and effectual act whereby
the United States courts will take from the nn-

faithful and unjust- stewards what property
they may have, and give it to the faithful and
true servants.
Pith. In addition to what the volunteers and
heirs are entitled to, and may become entitled
to from the United States, the several States
have passed, and will pass, acts , granting pay
from the State treasury.
Thus have been, in all, from 5,00 to 6,000
feet of bridging and trestling destroyed by the
insurgents on the line of.. the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, from Harper's Ferry to Cumber
land. The bridge at Harper's Ferry has been
destroyed fora mile in length. It has been
determined by the Government to take entire
possession of the road, but they do not want
the road repaired until it is in force at all
points to afford ample protection to the loyal
people of the adjacent counties.
Tae Government will at once march troops
along the line of the road, and if possible, will
prevent further destruction of the works. This
will be done before the close of the present
week. , •
The bridges will all be rebuilt of iron, ac
cording to the Bollman or Frick , plans, and the
preparatory work will be , done in -Baltimore,
thus giving employment to a large number of
mechanics. It is thought that it will require
a year to complete all Lifework destroyed, but
in themeantime the track will be-.built over
the river with strong trestling timber, sub
stantiel enough for immediate use, excepting
the heavy freshets which may occur: on •the
mountains. It is the opinion of the officers- of
the, road Ahat these tiestlieg bridges can all be
put up in ten of fifteen days time, and the Gen
eralgovernment will facilitate their construc
tion.
Nixtierrq, PARVAILS own GAZVENIENCES.—
The editor of .a lilisabisippi newspaper urges its
readers " to plant more corn than cotton" th a
year, "for," says the journalist, " cotton Is a
convenience, but coin is a ilece,sity ; whiskey
can be made froni - born; but not from cotton."
