HARKISBURI;, PA.
Wednesday Afternoon, August 81, 11.861.
POPULAR FURY.
The telegraph announced two occurrences
yesterday, involving the business of certain
parties in certain localities, which we are bound,
as faithful and honest journalists, to denounce
as reprehensible and extraviriant. We allude
to the destruction of printing offices in Easton
and West Chester. It is a fact that the propri
etors of both these establishments had been as
sailing the administration with all the political
viruleoce so peculiar to those in the north who
sympathise with traitors—that they had made
the liberty of the press the license to defend re
bellion, and denounce all efforts to enforce the
law—that they were parties to a conclave re
solving to destroy the public credit by impugn
ing the honesty of our rulers, and that in all
they wrote and printed they sought the embar
ras•ment of the purposes of the federal govern
ment, the demoralization of the army, and the
defeat of the cause of the Union—yet all this
provocation was hot sufficient to drive patriots
from their propriety, and turn sensible and
law abiding men into raving and desperate ,
mobs. The merits of our cause need no such
vindication as this—the force of our power
must seek other demonstrations, and the indig
nation of the p. ogle can expend itself in a
more bec tuing manner and on worthier objects
than the destruction of tne and presses, or the
tar and feathering of drunken, apostate north
ern editors. It is what they desire in the hour
of their desperation and bankruptcy. If they
can provoke an already aroused and indignant
people to the destruction of their offices, such
editors as the traitors of New York, Easton,
and West Cheater, with their willing tools and
emulators in the state capital, escape the bank
ruptcy which glares them in the face, by claim
ing and receiving damages from the counties in
which they idea their treason, for worn out
and worthless material. Indeed, we venture to
assert that there are those who would gladly
have their old metal cast into the streets, to
give them the opportunity of getting damages.
It would be much easier to carry the price of a
printing office in one's pocket, than ship a mass
of pi, mouldy glue and rusty iron to the city of
Philadelphia. Our readers will perceive that
there Is method in treason as well as in mad
ness.
—The surest plan to correct treasonable pub
lications is to refuse them patronage. Starve
instead of burn them out—discountenance in
stead of destroy them, and cities will be pre
served from double disgraces, communities from
expenses, and traitors from the gratification of
pocketing the money of honest people to pay,
for the extravagances of excited mobs.
TIM ARREST OF PIERCE BUTLER created some
fluttering among the sympathisers with treason
in this vicinity, while the government deter
mination to arrest all persons in the free states
who hold unlawful communication with the
rebels, does not increase the complacency of
the men in this city who are constantly coining
excuses and commendations for traitors. It is
time that the government begins to use the
must strenuous exertions to punish treason in
the loyal states. Its practices heretofore were
only insulting, now traitors are actually becom
ing brazen and dangerous.
Gamma. Dates Samna appointment as a Briga
dier General of Volunteers, by the President,
gives general satisfaction. He was Commissioner
of the Land Office during the administration of
James K. Polk, a General of division during the
Mexican war, end after that a Senator of the
United States from Illinois. He is a man of
pure personal courage, of great military experi
ence and ,of undoubted loyalty and devotion to
the Union.
banamanos from the lower portion of Mary
land crtintes the impression that a rising of the
negroes in that section is much more likely to
occur thana.crossing of the Potomac by the
rebel forces for the purpose of marching on
Washington. The Union men of that region
threaten a forcible emancipation, if the slave
holders do not remain loyal. This is fighting
treason with its own weapons.
Gamut VIMMOPIT, with every quality of a
great leader, inspires profound confidence in the
people everywhere. The west already feels
his organizing and animating presence. If any
man in the nation is capable of leading the
western army to victory, it is the illustrious
Pathfinder. We may look for splendid results
in the Mississippi Valley before snow falls.
ABOUT THIRTY-SIX HUNDRED BIEN have already
been enlisted for the new regiments of the regu
lar army. As each of these regiments, when
full, must consist of two battallions of 1,250
men each, it will be seen that only one-eighth
are enlisted as yet. There is some talk of con
verting one or two volunteer brigades into
regulars if the men are willing.
Rues., the correspondent of the London
Times, will not be permitted to cross the Foto-

HIE TRUTIL
All accounts from the south and from the
immediate locality and line of operation of the
rebel forces, indicate that a movement is con
templated on Washington city. This move
ment will probaly be through Maryland, for
the purpose of arousing the trait•rs lying in
wait in that territory, who have been secret
ly arming for the crisis and the encounter fast
approaching. A word of warning and a re
minder of truth is becoming, therefore, before
this battle on the borders of the capital of the
nation commences. If we are victorious, the
credit will he due to the gallant men who have
nobly pledged their lives to their country. If
we are defeated, if the capital falls into the
hands of the rebel chief, if our nationality is
thus humbled, the credit will be due to those
in the north who are now giving aid and com
fort to the enemy. Let there be no mistaking
this fact. If gloom and dismay and defeat
and desolation come, those in the north who
are now assailing the administration,, who are
denouncing the effort to crush rebellion as the
attempt of a few wild abolitionists to rob the
south of her rights, can be only recognized as
the authors of our shame and the producers
of ottr ruin. If such journals as the Patriot and
Union had been l üblished in Richmond, they
could not possibly have been more zealous for
the success of this rebellion, than they are now
in proclaiming their zeal to the people of the
north, and if the Union is to be dissolved, and
the proud free states humbled at the feet of the
institution of slavery, the main instrumentality
of this humiliation must be recognized, in the
hour of our disgrace, as the same influence
which sought to make the traitor Breckinridge
President, that the dismemberment of the
Union and the usurpation of the government
might be an economical and a bloodless tri
umph. They have been striving for this since
the rebels fired the first shot on Fort Sumpter.
They were in the secrets of the Buchanan 'ad
ministration when the minions of slavery were
robbing our arsenals and arming their hosts,
stealing our treasure to equip their battalions,
destroying our records to hide their treachery,
and in every secret and fraudulent way paving
the path to the capital that they could possess
themselves of power in order to destroy that
liberty which made the free states great
and pow, rful, and reduce teem to the degreda
lion and poverty which have been the result of
the institution of slavery. The Breckinridge
press and leaders of Pennsylvania covenanted
to stand by the South at Charleston and at Bal
timore And they have done so. They are pledg
ed to aid the leaders of this rebellion, in order
that the Republican party, the north and the.
west, the great free states may be humbled and
rebuked, and thus forever insure the success of
that Democratic party which has always warred
on free labor and fawned at the feet of slavery.
They are &my this work now ! Every eckin
ridge organ in the country, from the falsehood
fulminations and slanders of the Patriot to the
insiduous and polished treason of the Journal of
Commerce, are now buisily, at work, breathing
I order and animation and enthusiasm into the
otherwise demoralized ranks of the rebels, and
giving them the sincerest assurances of welcome
in store for them the moment their victorious
mobs and assassins reach the free states. For
the truth of this we refer to-the tone of the Pa
triot and Union. When the loyal troops of the
nation left the city of Hat risbnrg the sympathy
of the Patriot began to show itselt more boldly
for the rebels. When the rebel pickets began
to show themselves in the neighborhood of
Alexandria, tite Patriot became still• bolder.
When the news arrives that the rebel forces
contemplate an invasion of Maryland and an
attack on Washington, the Patriot becomes
perfectly jubilant, it insists that the efforts of
the President of the United States to crush the
rebellion is nothing more than a ruse to &Jon
tionize the south, and as the danger grows
darker and more dismaying, this same journal
becomes bolder and more furious in favor of
treason.
We point to these facts now, that our readers
may remember them in the hour of danger.
We point to them to remind the loyal men of
Harrisburg that the slave driver is not the only
enemy of free institutions. We point to them
to assure our readers that there are other foes
to this glorious Union besides those in arms in
the south, and that while our fathers, and
brothers and sons are in arms and about to en
counter a desperate foe on the threshold of the
American capitol, it is equally our duty to
watch and crush the traitors in our midst. If
we temporize with them now, we will be com
pelled to throttle them hereafter. Let us be
wise while we have time to ponder and prepare,
and not postpone the remedy of treason until
the knives of the traitors are at our throats.
Tim Nemo Tex is one of the themes on which
the dough-face treason sympathising press of
the north love to dictate. They are dreadfully
alarmed at the.prospect of taxation. to preserve
the country from rebellion. Taking it for
granted that but little if any of it will be gath
ered from the disloyal states, we may simplify
the matter by supposing ,that it will operate
upon only about twenty millions of people. The
result, therefore, will be about one dollar for
each man, woman and child in the States which
stand by the Union. This is a mere trifle when
compared with the ends to be attained by the
burden. It will fall principally upon those best
able to bear it, and upon articles of luxury.—
It is true that the indirect tax upon tea, sugar
and coffee touches the humble as well as the
wealthy, but tire effect will be to induce the
curtailment of other expenses in matters not es
sential to either health or comfort. The President
of the United States will pay seven hundred and
twenty-six dollars, and each member of the
Cabinet two hundred and sixteen dollars.—
Clerks of the first class ($1,200) will, pay twelve
dollars per annum, and the $2,000 clerks forty

7110 CAST REQI7SITION. i
The late summons issued by the Secretaq i of
War was not prompted by any want of c4l
- in the ability of the force now entrenctid
and encamped around Washington, to defld
the federal capital. Secretary Cameron liis
every omtidence in the strength and etEcienly
of that force for the purpose designed, aftr
having given to all its details of organizatiin
and location his own immediate supervision aid
inspection. What is desired by the call jail
made, is to organize, equip and discipline a ri
ll
serve force, to meet any emergency which t '
approaching winter campaign may create. Tla
idea was started some time since by Gov. Cu
tin, in organizing the Pennsylvania reserve,.
force now in camp near Washington admittedly
all military men to be among the very bit
troops ever raised for active operations in tills
country. On the same principle, the fedeial
government intend to raise a grand reserve—
a force adequate in every particulat to meet
any other which the rebels themselves may
have in reserve.
We can conclude then, that the last requisi
tion was suggested by a careful review of the
condition of the country, and especially by au
thentic advices from the south of the steady in
crease of the rebel forces. The government re
lies most Cully upon the patriotism of the coun
try. It expects to put down this rebellion be
muse it believes that the people will furnish the
men and the money to do it, and the most eco
-nomical manner in which this suppression can
be achieved, is to be prepared, fully and com
pletely with forces for its accomplishment when
the great struggle will be pushed forward to its
final trial.
Some time since a telegraphic dispatch was
sent from Washington, to the effect that the
Interior Department had no information as to
any organized bands of Indians being in arms
against the government. So far as the depart
ment is concerned this may be true, because
most of the Indian agents are rank secession
ists, while most of the roving bands of Indians
occupy territory surrounded by or filled with
traitors. In Texas, Arkansas, New Mexico,
Arizona and other portions of our vast domain
in those latitudes, there is no longer any doubt
that such organizations exist, and that bands of
Indians are being armed and equipped and ex
cited to attack not may the loyal men in those
same localities, but to prepare for the invasion
of other parts in company with the rebel troops.
Far removed trom these scenes, and but little
acquainted with the vicissitudes of the pioneers
and early settlers on the public domain, we
are consequently not able properly to estimate
the danger in which the settler is placed even
in ordinary times, and much less are we prepar
ed to do so now, when the passions of the sav
age are aroused against the emigrants from the
free states by a still more savage foe 'than the
Indian himself.
A movement is being made in the north to
counteract the influence which is stirring the
Indian to antagonism against the government.
Meetings are being held in various parts of the
country to consideithe subject,and devise means
to win the good feelings of a people who are
indebted for all the comforts they possess to a
government against which traitors are endeav
oring to array them,
THE SECTATARY Or WAR. should have given
Barrett and McDowell prominent places in the
army, and then this community at least would
have been saved the humiliation of retreating
that assaults on his character should emanate
from its midst. McDowell would have been
pleased to be attached to the Commissary's De
partment, or any' other branch of the service
where fat coutracts and not fighting were the
prospect. And Barrett should have been ten:
dered a place of labor and responsibility, be
cause he is so industrious. It was a great mis
take to overlook these two virtuous patriots.
Could not Gov. Curtin do something for the
Union, the union of sentiment, hope and desire,
which so arouses to anger or subdues to adula
tion the patriotic thoughts and feelings of the
trio of the traitor organ. They are absolutely
in want of something—something to keep body
and soul together—something to ease their
spleen, and drive from their minds the dread
ful forebodings of guilty suspicions.. Loyalty
is a game of speculation in their corrupt vision,
and treason and apostacy have become the
highest grades of manhood in their prejudiced
estimation. The Secretary of War is constantly
in their minds. He is in the bottom of their
cups, between their sheets, in their meandering
paths, to startle their libations, frighten their
dreams, and disturb their reflections. /le does
all but arouse their gratitude. He is capable of
any trick of necromancy but that of awaken
ing their integrity. To accomplish this would
require some of the power of the witch of En
der. Manly appeal or human persuasion can
have no effect on men who are willing to sacri
fice the interest, integrity and perpetuity of
their country, to satisfy a party preference or a
political passion.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21
Post Master General Blair, in response to an
inquiry on the subject, says he has neither the
power to interdict nor to suspend intercourse
between the loyal and rebellious States or oth
erwise. This power rests with the War and
Treasury Department alone, and so long as
these departments forbear to exercise it, corres
pondence between the insurgents South and
their friends and abettors North may be lawful
ly continued. His power over the matter ex
tends only to the protection of the revenues of
the Department from fraud by the conveying of
this circuitous correspondence on the post roads
of the United States, partly in the mails and
partly by private express unlawfully; and this
the Post Master General believes has been ef
fectually done in the manner set forth in his
letter on the subject to Ceti M'Clellan, pub
lished a few weeks ago.
He concludes by saying : You have doubtless
observed that the President in pursuance of an
Act of Congress passed at the recent session,
has by his proclamation of the 10th inst., de
clared that all commercial intercourse between
the insurgent States or the people thereof and
the loyal Stites is unlawful. It is presumed
that instructions will be issued by the Treasury
Department for the due enforcement of this
declaration and that the abuse of which you
complain will be effectually suppressed.
The continued alarms about designs of insur
gents against the capital are now believed by
gentlemen in high quarters to be the fabrica
tions of secession emissaries. Opinions, how
ever, are divided on this subject. Whatever
may be the truth respecting it the Administra
tion wants to reinforce and be ready for active
operations. The volunteers while left in the
northern cities and towns can do no service but
they can be organized here and ready for ser
vice immediately. Hence the call made on the
19th inst.
The President carries the great burden of this
War without bending. His health is perfect.
His courage is perfect. To the discharge of his
onerous duties as Chief Magistrate, he adds the
labors of supervising the national military
movement. From Kansas to the Potomac, the
armies HZ.) under his eye. His care and vigi
lance comprehend the whole situation.
It is considered that the most effective means
of checking the designs of the enemy on Wash
ipgton is to have a military force adequate for
all possible contingencies. This is ece:n to b.-
supplied. The earnest measures of the admin
istration to this end have already produced here
the most happy effects, and afford a reassurance
of the safety of the capital, depending on the
patriotic responses of the north.
Mayor *nett declined to take the oath of al
legiance on the organization of the new Police
Board of this city, on the plea that he was only
an ex-officio inewber. The legal question iu
volved bag been, referred to the Attorney Gen
eral.
The Mayor of Georgetown, also a commission
er ex officio, received the oath, remarking that it
was not quite strong enough to test a man's
loyalty in these times of disaffection and deceit.
Spotfurd, Tileston & Co., who have two
steamers running bet Ween New York and Key
West and Havana, have proposed to subsist one
'Officer and fifteen men on board each vessel to
be furnished with the proper armanent, and
clothed with authority to capture privateers.
The Secretary of the Navy has acceded to the
proposition.
The soldiers here, even the dissatisfied "three
month men," are impatient to have the Rebels
attempt to execute their plan, which has been
long brOoded over, of crossing into Maryland at
least at two points, cutting uff Washington
from railroad communication with the North,
and co-operating with traitors in Maryland.
Tens of thousands will be added to the army
of the Potomac within a week. Arms are ready
for all who do not bring there own. Uniforms
will be furnised to such as are unequipped, and
millions of rations, comprising beef, flour and
vegetables are on hand.
The Potomac Flotilla has been enlarged by
the addition of aix or eighk vessels and a num
ber of well-armed launches, and the present
force could be largely increased upon short no
tice. The Chain Bridge and fords above, for
the present useless by the heavy rains, are well
guarded.
The Potomac fleet now consists of eleven
well-armed steamers and eleven launches, each
carrying fifteen men and a dahlgren 12 pound-
It is evidently abundantly able to prevent
the rebels from crossing or making a feint to
cross sufficiently formidable to call off troops
from Washington.
Johnston and Beauregard have been rein
forced by some 16,000 or 20,000 since the Bull
Run battle, and it is reported to-day that York
town, Norfolk and Richmond have been almost
denuded of troops, whose . ultimate destination
is presumed to be Maryland and Washington.
In the belief that they design'to cross below and
above the city, ample precautions are taken.
It is understood that the government has
fully determined to cause the arrest and confine
ment of every person in the north, whom it can
be satisfactorily proved is in league with the
confederates, or in any way aiding and encour
aging their movements. This will explain the
arrests that have taken place within the past
few days—and the indications are that many
more will follow. The more prominent demo
crats who side with the secessionists, are espe
cially watched by the government.
Rumors are again current of a rising of the
slaves in the lower part of Maryland, and inti
mations are freely given out, if an invasion of
that point is attempted by the Confederates,
that the Government will forthwith take part
with the slaves, and set them at liberty.
