THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW .
HARRISBURG, PA
Tuesday Afternoon, August 27, 1861.
PUBLIC OPINION is bound to triumph, and
the man who vainly imagines that he will be
allowed to force hie opinion of treason on a
loyal community, is either a double knave or a
miserable ass. Such conduct was once tolera
ted, but when the stability of the nation is in
danger, toleration for treason becomes a species
of treason itself. The people will not submit
tamely any longer to the assaults which a cer
tain class of our northern presses are making on
this government. Those who make them, may
claim the right of opinion and the liberty of the
press, but these become insignificant and value
less when their abuse endangers other liberty still
more sacred and rights involving holier and no
bler principles both of protection to persons and
property. To show that the end of this abuse
of the liberty of the press is at hand, the follow
ing is a list of newspapers that have either been
suppressed by the military authorities, or de
stroyed by the people within the last few
weeks :
Christian Observer,
State Journal,
Missouri Bulletin,
Missourian,
Herald,
Boonville Observer, Boonville, Mo.
Clinton Journal, (mobbed,) Kansas.
Dem. Standard, (mobbed,) Concord, N. H
Bangor Democrat, (mobbed,) Bangor, Me.
Jeffersonian, (mobbed,) Westchester, Pa
Sentinel, (mobbed,) Easton, Pa.
Stark county Dam., (mobbed,) Canton, Ohio.
Essex county Democrat,° . Haverhill Mass
°Editor taken from his house, tarred and
feathered and ridden on a rail. Office not de
stroyed.
Every single one of these journals has been
engaged, ever since the inauguration of Abra
ham Lincoln, in misrepresenting the policy of
his administration and of stirring up rebellion
in the south. Since the devaopment of rebel
lion they have used their energies in giving it
aid and comfort. We submit to the readers
of the TELEGRAPH, whether their suppression
was not just and legal.
"Tha PORT" is the title of a new hebdomidal
just entered on its second number, published at
Selinsgrove, Snyder county, by Israel Gutelius.
It avows an attachment to the great principles
and organization of the Republican party, and
if we are to judge from the brevity and terse
ness of its editorials, it not only promises to be
a valuable local journal, but an able expounder
of a noble cause. We cheerfully commend it
to the people of its locality, and trust also that
its circulation may be widely extended beyond
those limits, and that it may become both a
powerful and a profitable enterprise for its pro
prietor.
Tux confidence in the permanency of our gov
ernment is rapidly increasing among the shrewd
moneyed men of Europe, and the news of the
recent 5160,000,000 loan being so readily taken,
cannot but produce the most gratifying effect.
It is stated upon reliable authority that an offer
was lately made to Secretary Chase, on behalf
of foreign bankers, to take $50,000,000 of the
loan, provided the government would promise
to pay the interest at Frankfort-on-the-Main.
The Secretary, however, eclined the offer, as
be is confident in the ability of the government
to maintain itself without asking the aid of for
eign capital.
EON. EDWARD McPttaasos, Representative in
Congress from the Adams district, has been ap
pointed an aid on the staff of General McCall.
If the aid makes as good a soldier as he does a
representative, he will add new laurels to a re
putation already of the most enviable character.
Re is a man of prompt though calm judgment,
sincere in his resolves and his convictions, and
as an advisory aid, General McCall will find in
Edward McPherson a safe, steady and useful
companion in arms.
SENATOR Lamm, who was present at the re
ception and speech of Daniel B. Dickinson, in
Tunkhanuock, also made a speech, which among
other good hits, was one in reply to some com
promise man in the crowd who cried out, The
Bible says "Blessed is the peace maker," and
quick as thought the speaker replied, it says
too, "resist the Devil, and ho will flee from
you," which brought down the crowd.
THI WAR SUMP IN SOUTH CAROLINA. —AI
Charleston paper says : "Our militia here are
all under severe drill. Every white male, from
sixteen to sixty years old, is now drilling,
making ready for the fall campaign in and
about our city. Every store is closed at four
o'clock daily, and all hands drill."
E. B. lisauarr, of Concord, Massachusetts,
hut week suceeded in reaching the profile rock
known as "The Old Man of the Mountain," on
the White Mountains, and safely planted a flag
upon the crest of the rock which forms the cap.
This feat, a very perilous one, has been success
fully achieved but once before.

JUDGE PEARSarS CHARGE.
We print on the outside of this afternoon's
TZLECIEAPH, the very able charge of Hon. John
J. Pearson, to the Grand Jury empanelled at
the present Court of Quarter Sessions of Dau
phin county. His Honor enters into a very in
teresting as well as accurate history of the dif
ferent buildings formerly used for holding our
courts, giving In detail their locality and cost.
To the local reader there is much ti engage at
tention in that portion of the charge, and we
commend it to the careful perusal of the people
of Dauphin county. Aside from these local at
tractions,. the charge of Judge Pearson has a
general and a national merit, which we cannot
allow to go unapproved, and for which we can
not refrain from expressing a personal congratu
lation and pride. Judge Pearson defines the
law in regard to the liberty of speech and the
freedom of the press in a manner setting at rest
the dogma that this liberty and freedom enti
tled editors and citizens to the right of assail
ing the government, because they object to its
policy when it is seeking to restore order in
times of eminent public and private danger.
Legislation has furnished the correction to these
abuses. The law is plain on the subject, that
when men either by printed or spoken words
seek to stir up the passions or embarrass the
protection of a community, they transcend
the liberty of the press and forfeit the freedom
of speech. If it were otherwise, there would
be no safety in the protection of an armed
force. If a licentious press is permitted to tra
duce an authority straining all its power
to vindicate the law—if a bitter partizan
feeling is suffered to cultivate its passions
and resentments, incite the prejudices of
the people and madden the soldiery with
false impressions in regard to their discipline,
there can be no reliance placed either in the sanc
tity of law and order, or the legitimate influ
ences at the command of the government to
vindicate the one and restore the other. Judge
Pearson understands this condition of affairs,
and discusses their dangers and responsibilities
as a patriot and statesman. He does not even
hesitate to declare that those guilty of such
acts are traitors, but he insists most jowly that
those who give information to ti e enemy, and
either by written or printed words seek to prove
that there are dissensions or divisions in our
councils or our armies, are equally guilty of
treason, and become amenable to the laws pun
ishing such crimes. The counsel and the ad
monitions of the charge on this subject are
worthy of the man who conceived and deliver
ed them, appropriate to the place in which they
were pronounced, and should be perused and
pondered by the people of Dauphin county
with a full appreciation of the noble patriotism
and loyalty they seek to inculcate, and in the
name of that people we thank Judge Pearson
for the words he has uttered on these subjects.
If they have the influence of only silencing
one masked battery of sympathy for rebellion,
they will have achieved a most desirable object
for the people of this community.
There are other portions of the charge which
are equally interesting at this time, but to
which we can barely call attention, without
referring at length to their details and merits.
The charge must be read to be appreciated.
No notice that we can make of it could possibly
give the reader any idea of its real importance.
It is a paper which every citizen of Dauphin
county should preserve for future reference.
Philalelphia.
St. Louis, Mo
A good deal of misapprehension exists among
those who are looking forward to receive the
second lieutenantcies in the army. By a de
cision of the War Department, all the vacant
second lieutenantcies of the new regiments
added to the regular service are to be taken
from the ranks, so as to encourage the privates
to be worthy of promotion. These regiments
are, we believe, eleven in number. When it is
remembered that the regiments enlisted for the
war amount now to over two hundred, toe Jus
tice of confining the appointment of second
lieutenants in the regular army to the merl'
orious privates in that service will be admitted.
The men in the volunteer army for the war
have many more chances than those who pro
pose making the military their life profession.
Those who object to this will have only to enlist
in the regular service to entitle themselves to
promotion in that service. Should the whole
army force be hereafter consolidated into one
body, as advocated by many, the equality of
the arrangement alluded to will be still more
obvious.
THE NEW TREASURY DEMAND NOTES were
issued in Washington city yesterday. They
were eagerly sought by western men for home
circulation. The denominations of the "De
mand Bills" are $5, $lO, and $2O; while those
bearing interest are $5O, $lOO, $5OO, $l,OOO
and $5,000. There are five kinds of five dol
lar notes, payable on demand in New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Cincinnati,
and of course, for all 'business purposes, are
better than specie. The name of the place
where the note is redeemable, is engraved on
the face. The $5 note is embellished on the left
margin with full a length figure of Crawford's
"America," with the motto "EP/uribus Unum,"
and on the right a portrait of Alexander Ham
ilton. There are also five $lO notes, made re
deemable as above. On the left is a likeness of
President Lincoln; in the centre the American
eagle ; and on the right a full length figure re
presenting the arts. These notes have been
put into circulation. In the centre of the $2O
notes there is a full length figure of Justice.
They are also redeemable at the places above
indicated. They are all a little larger than or
dinary bank notes, and being redeemable on
demand, will be highly prized as a circulating
medium, and therefore holders should not sub
mit to any shave.

Troubles of futon Men In Kentucky and
Tennessee.
FAMILIES DRIVEN FROM THEM ROMS
The Louisville (Ky.) Journal says :
"We stated a short time ago that two young
men, named Busbey and Harp, arrived in this
city from Hickman county, Kentucky, having
been driven from their homes by the secession
ists of Southern Kentucky and lennessee.
Three large families, numbering fully twenty
five souls, arrived.from the same vicinity yes
terday, and stopped at the Oyler House, on
Market street. The heads of the families were
John Boswell, John Busby and Wm. Harp.
Their condition is really deplorable. They were
forced to leave their farms at a few hours' no
' tice, leaving their crops and household goods
at the mercy of the heartless rebels. They
traveled with the aged and infirm, and 3 outh
ful and tender members of their families from
Hickman county in wagons, and encountered
many hardships. They inform us that fully
fifty families in Hickman and Ballard counties
have been forced to leave their homes, and to
abandon thfir crops and nearly all they pos
sessed in tlke world, their offence being that
they entertidned,Union sentiments."
mz, - ssssss THREATENING KENTUCKY.
A letter from Georgetown, Ky., dated August
19, says
"To-day, being our regularcounty court day,
was selected by Colonel George W. Hanson as
an appropOate occasion for making a very in
flammatory,and traitorous speech. His object
was to stir up a hellish spirit of war. He began
with an attack upon the camp in Garrard coun
ty. He declared that, if those troops are not
disbanded in thirty days, they will be put down
at the point of the bayonet. He said he saw
Governor Harris, of Tennessee, a few days ago,
and that Harris declared that he should consid
er it a violation of Kentucky neutrality, and
that Kentucky would have to meet 50,000 Ten-'
nessee troops in battle array if those camps were
not speedily vacated. Thirty days are given to
you, Union men of Kentucky ; use those thirty
days to a good advantage, or a civil war will"
confront us with all its horrors."

The transportation of a number of guns, in
tended for the loyal Kentucky troops, throuth
the town of Lexington, Kentucky, created a dis
turbance. The Louisville Journal says :
" We hear, that, when it was ascertained thSt
the guns were coming, John C. Breckinridge
hustled about, arousing his secessionists to re
sist their passage. At the same time armed ail
was summoned from Harrison and Scott. In the
meanwhile, Dr. Dudley mustered two companies
of the Home Guards to sustain the government
There was a very fair prospect of a collision,
but the sudden and very imposing appearance
of the cavalry from Camp Robinson put an end
at once to all danger of a breach of the peace.
All honor to the gallant Union men of Lex
ington.
HUNTED MEN TURNING WARRIORS
A gentleman of Danville, Kentucky, makes
the following statement :
"On Monday, August 19, two hundred an 4
forty fugitives from East Tennessee, men drivel
from their homes, were fed in the Seminary
yard in that town. Some of them were elderly
men and some young, and all had been com
pelled to abandon their families, and were ill
clad, almost barefoot, weary and hungry. Their
situation was indeed deplorable. Several hun
dred more were expected to arrive yesterday.
The whole of the two hundred and forty fugi
tives enlisted in the United States service at
Camp Robinson."
Lead Nines in the Hands of the Rebels.
We are sorry to learn that the richest lead
mine in Missouri, and indeed probably on the
globe, is now in-the hands of the - insurgents;
though they did not succeed in obtaining any
of the metal. The mine to which we refer is
situated near the village of Granby, Newton
county, within twenty-five miles of the south
western border of that State. It was opened
about two years ago by a party of capitalists,
having their headquarters at St. Louis, and is
known by the name of the Blow and Bennett
mine. Last year it yielded about seventy-five
thousand pigs, or six millions of pounds. Un
like the mines in eastern Missouri and north
western Illinois, this is situated in a level prai
rie of vast extent. The supply of ore has been
pronounced inexhaustible by the State geologist,
and the quality is considered the best on the
globe, having scarcely any admixtures of foreign
substances. The great difficulty has been
transportation, there being no navigable river
nearer than the Missouri and no railroad be
yond Rolla, which is fully one hundred miles
distant. The western terminus of the Pacific
railroad is a little further off; but this route
has usually been taken on account of the su
perior character of the common roads in that
part of Missouri. With the mines and furnaces
at Granby in their possession, the rebels can
supply themselves with lead to any required
extent.
The Springfield Armory.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican says :
" Captain Dyer, the ordnance offi.cer appoint
ed under the late act of Congress to the charge
of the Springfield armory, has been here for
several days and has examined critically into
the condition of the establishment and its ope
rations since Mr. Dwight has had charge, and
expresses the most complete satisfaction with
everything that has been done and is doing.
He finds nothing to change either in present or
prospect, and requests Mr. Dwight to continue,
for the present at least, in directing the opera
tions of the armory as heretofore. Meanwhile
Captain Dyer returns to Washington and Fort
ress Monroe, where he has been stationed for
some years, to arrange his affairs and receive
further instructions before entering fully upon
the discharge of his new duties."
Trts INTEMPERANCE or nut CAKE , continues to
be a subject of earnest solicitude among all good
men. Courage, coolness, presence of mind, ac
tivity and endurance, have no foe more terrible
than strong drink. The whiskey of Washing
ton had a great deal to do with the panic at
Kansans. In few things has General McClel
lan shown more wisdom than in the rigid rules
he has ebtablished to exclude poison from the
lips of his men. Ellsworth's code of abstemi
ousness was conceived in the true spirit and
genius of the Spartan soldier. In battle almost
everything depends upon the nerves and tem
per of the troops, and the equanimity and saga
city of their officers. So far as a command is
made up to revellers from liquor saloons, so far
it is already beaten.
GEN. Mcasms.x.—Mr. Willis writes to the
Home Journal that a distinguished civilian who
had called upon Gen. McClellan on some mat
ter of importance, concluded his visit by a gen
eral comment or two on the state of affairs,
venturing a question, at last, as to what ikfc-
Clellan thought of our army's probable recov
ery from the late defeat. "I do not think,"
musingly replied 4he hero of Western Virginia,
" that they will whip us again ; but, if they do,
there will be two men left dead on the field—l
shall be one, and Lander will be the other."

LATEST FROM FORTRESS MONROE
ANOTHbR REBEL FLAG OF TRUCE.
FORTREES MONROE, Aug. 26th
The steamer Philadelphia has arrived from
Washington with one hundred and fifty-nine
mutineers sentenced to two year's imprisonment
at the Tortugas. They have been sent tempo
rally to the Rip-raps. A flag of truce arrived
from Norfolk this moaning with three ladies
and a number of prisoners captured by the rebel
privateers. As the object of sending the flag
of truce at this time was deemed rather inquisi
tive, Genl. Wool decided to detain the flag un
til late to-morrow.
It is high time that an end should be put to
this constant intrusion of the enemy. Whenever
they think any important movement is on foot
here they are sure to be on hand with a flag of
truce.

Capt. Davis the provost Marshall, yesterday
arrested the crew of the schooner Chingarora
from New York. Genl. Wool sent them to the
Rip-raps. Seven spies have been arrested and
placed in confinement.
LAWLESS PROCEEDINUS IN CONNECTI-

BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Aug. 26
The office of the newspaper called The Far
mer and Advertiser was mobbed on Saturday
night. It was completely gutted by the vol
unteers, in presence-of 3,000 to 5,000 citizens.
The windows were smashed, the type all thrown
into the streets, and the presses destroyed.—
There was found in the office a U. S. mail-bag
filled with papers addressed to leading seces
sionists in Alabama, Georgia and other South
ern States, also some two hundred wooden bil
lies, turned and furnished with strings for the
wrists. These clubs were made from shovel
handles, and were probably furnished by a se
cession shovel manufacturer in Bridgeport.—
Some curious letters were also discovered, ex
posing the treason of politicians in Hartford and
els,. where.

The schooner Agricola, Capt. Herrick, arrived

2 quarts of salt.
This ration had been found, by long experi
ence in the regular army, to be ample.
Congress by an act of the last session, in
creased this ration, until it is now as follows :
pound of pork or bacon, or 1+ pound of fresh
or salt beef;
22 ounces of bread or flour, or 1 pound of pilot
bread ;
To 100 Rations
8 quarts of beans, 10 pounds of rice or hom
iny, and 1 pound of potatoes three times a
—.wools, or or 0 , 0100444,11.0 tiaoranr
10 pounds of coffee ;
15 pounds of sugar ;
4quarts of vinegar ;
11 pound of adamantine candles ;
4 pounds of soap, and
2 quarts of salt ;
Extra issues of molasses are occasionally
made.
This ration, if cared for, and properly cooked
is more than can he eaten, and this ration the gov
ernment is ready to furnish.
The method of procuring it for.the regiments
is simple : Each Captain of a Company makes
to his Colonel a return, stating the number of
men in his Company and the number of days
drawn for, signed by him. These Company, re
turns are consolidated by the regimental Quar
termaster and signed by the Colonel. This re
turn is an order on the depot or brigade Com
missary for that quantity of stores ; and it is
the duty of the regimental Quartermaster to
see that he receives the full amount, and that
it is all of good quality.
When stores reach the regiment it is the duty
of each Captain to see that his Company re
ceive their due, as drawn for by him on his
return, and that the quality is good.
If the Regimental Quartermaster and Cap
tains attend to their duty, the men must receive
their full allowance as set forth in the ration ;
and not an article but of good quality.
The government has on hand ample implies
of the very best quality, and is desirous of do
ing full justice to the volunteers. If the vol
unteers do not receive it, the fault is that of
their own officers. J. P. TAYLOR,
