mously adopted, viz :
WaSREAS, The present condition of our Na
tional Government demands of all good citizens
a unity, pf purpose to sustain and add it in
suppressing the rebellion which is now seeking
the subversion of our free institutions ; and,
whireas, in the `opinion of this committee, that
unity of purpose can be measurably promoted

THE SECRETAY OF WAR.
ABROAD AND Al' BONE.
Some men are never pleased unless they acre'
pampered, while the disappointed are always
the most virulent when their passions and re
sentments are aroused. This is the case with
the men who are assailing the administration of
Abraham Lincoln and traducing the individual
members of his cabinet. They are determined
to ruin what they cannot control, and equally
intent on disgracing a government in the 'dis
pensation of whose power and patronage they
cannot participate. These are the motives of
almost every man who now opposes the adminis•
thition, and when any of these are not. control
led by such feelings, they are prompted to their
work of assault, by a bitter and malignant per
sonal resentment, which stifles the little
patri
otism such men do possess, and renders them
total') indifferent to all save self, even in the
hour of their country's danger. In this respect,
the satalites and traitors who are seeking to
manufactUre false opinion against the Secretary
of War, occupy a very peculiar potition. Here
in Harrisburg they have selecte.d a firm and an
organ that have passed though all the degrees
and desperation in political apostacy aid perso
nal mendancy, deeming that journal best suited
to attack a loyal man and apatriet, which is at
the same time using its columns hi' bringing
riloubt upon our cause and disgrace to our coun
try.
The respectable end iudepeo •ent press Of the
country are beginning to notice these assaults.
we have already quoted a great many of these
issued in all the loyal States, notwithstanding
which we must add the folio ing to the list of
those glorious commendations of a man whom
Pennsylvania prides, herself, in honoring, and
to whom her loyal citizens look with respect
and confident' eat alt times, The. New London
. Daily Chronicle, one of the organs of the gallant
and zealous Republicana of Connecticut, thus
refers to the Cabinet and the traitor hunt after
some of Its members :
SIIION CAMERON.
We I hsve listened with intensi6 • disgusi to
the clamor of disappointed politicians, jour
nallstkand contractors, for the dismissal from
the Cabinet ot-the Secretary of War, because
we belleim gross charges of corruption
and favorltism urged against him are as false
as they are malicious.
The outcry which, commenced by its political'
enemies with his nomination, has at length cul
minated in an incessant howb, aud become an
intolerable nuisance, and we think the enor
mous weight of his official ieSponsibilities is
sufficiently greviotts to bear, without- the addi
tional annoyance of this outrageous dig. Not
a colonel of a rejected regiment, not a rejected
bidder for contracts, but whose astute binin has
not discovered the cause to be his own individu
al honesty and probity which would not allow
him to bribe the officials, not a disappointed
place seeker in Washington, nor a too inquisit
ive reporter snubbed for his impertinence, but
whose perceptions have become, at {once, suffi
eientl, acute to discover some gigantic scheme
norrngtion and fraudnnderhis very nose, and
s cortkwitk to join in the grand chorus.

ported the world upon its back, and the perso
nal motives that have induced them aro as ap
parent to any one who will give the subject
even the most superficial investigation as the
rascalities of the last administration.
One of the most prominent instances in which
Mr. Cameron has been charged with corruption
is in the transportation of troops via Harrisburg,
instead of by the Camden and Amboy line,
when by so doing the government lost lour hours'
time, (an important item) avoided the trouble
some ferries, and secured the benefit of an uni
form guage, the fare being the same. Most
outrageous rascality this! especially when the
fact is taken into consideration that the Cam
den and Amboy company, in April last, taking
advantage of the pressing necessities of the gov
ernmentoxacted full fare for every soldier that
passed 'Over their line, and we would like to ask
if it is not a sufficient refutation of the charge
.of ;favoritism so frequently made against him,
that of. the numerous military and Civil appoint
ments; at his - dial:Sistal he had none for that brave
and accomplished brother, who fell so gloriously
at the head of his clansmen at Stone Bridge ?
Mr..lginolln,. in whom the , nation reposes the
fullest cuntidence, and in no_ one attribute of
liis character more than his honesty, 'reposed
an eßual confidence in the efficiency' of Mr.
Canieron or he would certainly be deprived of
big portfolio v aud the fact that he, is'not, and
that Congress has not seen fit to investigate the
charges against 1111 m: but has, initead thereof,
invested him 'with fuller Powers should, we
think, be sufficient proof of their groundless
character..-
No one deprecates more than ourselves the
retention iii office a single day of any officiid
who should so far debase himself as to prosti
tute his. i position to, . of personal ag
grtmdisement,.ave some evidence
more tangible' than.* *Aral has yet been pre
sented of fraud or 'complicity with, or conniv
ing at fraud on the part of Mr. Cameron, we
shall refrain from joining in the hue .and cry,
which from motives the most despicable is be
ing 'Abed against him
Our'readers will 'admit that the' above eme
netts from a Man who understands and res
ponds to the sentiment of his locality. With
this admission we ask their attention to the fol
lowing from the Daily State journal, printed at
the capital of the state of Illinois, and repre
senting the Republican party of that state. It
is also the home organ of the President, has
refiectedlie feeling for years, and is now re
gardeffas-speaking only for the Executive con
cerning his ''preferences and personal attitude
towardsthose in his immediate councils. When
such 'Sentiments are proclaimed the charge that
there are differences in the cabinet falls to the
ground, and the gross attacks 'made on Gen.
Cameron, that he is either to be removed or
forced to resign his control of the Mar .Depart
meat, become not only the meanest standers
but the moat absolute evidencesof the treason
of those who put such falsehoods into circula
tion. We regaid the manly and truthful man
ner in Which the Journal refers to the Secretary
of War, as not only the admission of his vast
administrative powers, but as an official vindi
cation of his position in the federal capital :
And in reference to the Secretary of War, the
great wonder to us is that he has been able to.
do so much in so short a tithe. 'l'd the "long
taw" warriors who sit in editorial sanctums,
the fitting out'of an army of 500,000, men, scat—
tered through, so many states ; may appear like
a small day's work,_but in all its details and
.complications it is a 'herculean labor, requiring
an energy and an aptitude fits
.buslnesa
few inert polisessea. Gen. CanierbniAtith all the
-
out against him, so far as we are able to judge,
has done and is doing all that could be expected
of any man. It is not to be supposed that hn ,
can please everybody in all the varied 'minutiae
of hit; department. In its extended and 'in
terminable details he may even have been im
posed upon by contractors and subordinates in
whom he has been cOrriPelld` More or less to
confide ; but to charge him' with corruption or
any desire to make wealth'flow into his hands
out of his office, us some papers . from disap
pointment r chagren are alleging, is_outra •
geous and shameful. Until this kind o reck
less crimination is backed by some faint attempt
at prod, it l is not even deserving of notice.
It is high time that there was a cessation of.
this Warfare Open our own gctvernment. As
Our• ditipateh says, the Cabinet is a unit, fully
agreed on Ahe measures for the 'suppression of
the rebellion, and these attacks upon different
members of the administration cannot but be
regarded as attempts to weaken its arms and
thwart its policy. '
The New York Tribune adds its potential voice
to the same frank and honest confession of the
'abilities of the Secretary of War, with the ad
missidn 'that the War Department never Was
under the control of an abler or mbre 'energetic
man. In the midst of its = excitement, 'the
country has not had time properly to under
stand or appreciate the details and business of
this Department , Immenee armies haVe 7 been
recruited, equipped and marshaled into service,
butthe din and glitter of war carried the pub
lic only so far as its sounds or its •sights' at

leaders the credit and .the glory of positions
and conditions which were solely due to the
patient labor, genius and energy of the Setcre
tary of War. The Tribune fixes this credit in ‘a
very few pies where it justly belongs. Here's
ititestiinopy ,
. . .
Secretary Cameron, gives night and day to the
•
service of ' his 'Country.' The history of his de
partinebtal labors will triumphantly refute the

prejudices for at Idle to do justice to a man
whomit frankly adMits has -been moat basely
traduced and maliciously misrepreiented. In
the course of its article, the Tribune says :
We are compelled' in justice to him to say
that, though he has been the target at which
his enemies have incessantly fired, not one of
their shots has taken effect. Their is a great
outcry about corruption in contraCts, and va
rious abuies of other sorts ; but those who bawl
the loudest are able ; . to prove the ,least. At
Wa4tington weOhnseil down a doFn . storie s lno4ed to

the same sort are. Hence the assertion With:
which we set out, that among the many loose
novivania math drtlegrapb, Mow Mortag, Ritptembtr 2 1861.
allegations against the management of tha Vat
Department by Mr. GAMMON, we have failed to
recognize any chargeof corruption of dishonesty
that has been proved.
We are in no wise Mr. Cruneron's defenders ;
but we should be unjust to our readers in the
northwest, at this moment when thi it confi
dence in the government should be strengthen
ed, if we permitted the charges which are made
against him, with loud asservations of their
truth, to pass unchallenged. We do not be-
Ileve that Mr. Cameron is abasing himself by
making his high office the channel by which
wealth flows into his pockets. He may be
abused by friends ; (who has not been ?) he may
be ambitious of higher honors at the hands of
his countrymen ; he may have failed to com
prehend all the bearings and relations of the
great rebellion, and thus misled may have gone
astray, but there is not a shadow of proof that
we have ever seen, which shows that, his
office is managed corruptly.
The Tribune most bitter complaint is that
General Cameron is too intensely devoted to
his state and his friends, to be approachable by
any,others but,those coming in these fi'harac
ters. A grievous fault, indeed ! but one which
we admit has become part of the character of
Simon Cameron.
The Chicago Journal . ciiiotOiCfbrWard to the sup
port of the trunt.-antf.the vilidication of an
honorable nnuaront•the foul aspirations of not
only his personal • efiewies, but aliolho foes of
his country. It deals with the charges of cor
ruption against the Secretary Of War in this
language: •
" We have been unWilling t? believe:the re

cial position, and of neglect of his duties in this

which we publish to-day, from the pen of air.

man, as well as on the authority of Mr. Cutise,
the Secretary of the. Treasury, whose reputation
for honesty and candor,, is proverbial, and con-
Ceded even by his political friends. We give
this statement of our correspondent, who with
the knowledge that he stateß facts; of 'the truth
of which he, at all events, is fully con
vinced."
The letter referred to in the above paragraph,
is dated Washington, August 21; and that por
tion of it alluding to General Cameron isquoted
as follow::
" The Government-is doing everything that
it can accomplish, to . meet any emergency.—
General McClellan Seems to be equal to his po
sition, and, he and General Scott work harmo
niously together. The Cabinet are alsoharrno
nious in their action, all agreeing to the most

therefore, inclined .closely to scrutinize his con
duct ; and the .result of Gen. Wilson's, inter
course with; arid scrutiny of the War Depart
ment, has led him to the conclusion, that the
charges made so flippantly, and so confidently
against Gen. Cameron are without foundation—
that he had not made one cent out of any con
tract with the Department. I heard Gen. Wit-,
son declare this in cenversation ; and not only!
did he say this, but ho further emphatically de
diced, that he believed these reports originated
with those who wanted, but have been unable
to sell the Goverfiraent. at enormous prices;
vessels worthlesss for war service,
or to "line
their pockets" with fat contracts for the . army.
He added,.
further, that Gen. Cameron is con
ducting the War Department with great ener
gy and efficiency.
'I have also, unquestionable authority for ray
ing, that Secretary Chase, whose alma-eyed
keenness in scenting, out everythimg: which'
smacks of' fraud in the conduct of the Govern
ment, is proverbial, concurs' in Gen. Wilson's
opinions of SecretaryCimeron. •
'Such testimony ought to be satisfactory' to
the public, and men should cease to believe
these stories of harpies who wish to pray upon
the Government in the time of its peril. If
these sharpers have charges to prefer against
officers of: the Government, let them sub
stantiate their allegation by proof, or shut their
Mouths."
The Washington Reinthlic, in a general way,
refers to the effort of the enemies of the Secre
tary of Wei to hold him responsible for what
is undouhtedly the duty of the general officers
Of the army. The following is the defence of
the lama lie:
"attempt to holde the Secretary: of

in the Cabinet, with the object Of 'sowing dis

'The of"

him, are beginning to realize the fact that they
are.aimmittnigtt grand mistake. Every one of
their allegations has fallen to the ground.—
General denunciation is always safe refuge for
mere partizans, but, when driven to specific
charges, their malignity and falsehood aremade
shamefully apparent. These men should re
member that General Cameron is aman of enor
mous fortune, and, theref, re, beyond every mo•
tive of cupidity ; and that, although in times
past a decided and somewhat energetic partisan,
he hail reached that period of life when the am
bition to do right becomes almost a religious
duty. It is this feeling that induces him to
defy calumny and to challenge investigation.
lie has manifested a liberality in the dispensa
tion of his patronage to all loyal men, irrespect
ive of party, that, however complained of at
the start, is now known to have been product
ive of the happiest consequences.
There is scarcely a county in the loyal states
in which may not be found a number of young
Democrats, sons, of patriotic fathers, generally
in straitened circumstances, upon whom he has
conferred commissions in the army. And in
doing this, he has contrived to take care of his
own party by pitiviclinefbr young Republicans.
In the matter of contracts; not a contract has been
given out by Gen. Ca ',aeries With has not met the ap
probation either of Gen. Scott or the dicers of Me
re 'ulararray at the head of the military bureaus.
If Gem Cianeron :has made a mistake, At. is
because he has'yielded too much to the marti
nets in the regular service, or, as the Washing
ton lobby 'would have it, "has not been suffi
ciently attentive to his friends:" The result is,
that many of those who complain of Cameron
are indignant because he has not been able to
make them rich. Nobody oould be Secretary
of War in these times Without. being subject to
the most searching ; s 2 ticism; and* Gen. Cam
eron has been Ve and is as
liable to make miatakeit as any bther man, he
ought not to complain if he receives his full
share of this kind of hyperoritioism.
But journalists should 'remember, that while
a jealous and zealous vigilance shOuld be exer
cise:Lin rega:d . to 'amen' occupying high - posi
tion in a caste like this, Merely 'malignant an
tagonism may run to such extremes as to weak
et the common cause, and to encourage the
common enemy. One thing is sure: No Cabi
net minister, in the existing - state of the >public
mind, can commit a flagrant wrong without
being detected; denonneed and disgraced— and
among thefirst toiuselsit in the chastisement of
such an offender will be Tax Pans.'
The Pittsburg Gazette, kirery sinali paragraph,
exposes the failure of these assailants of the
administration and, its officers to specify and
sustain the charge of high fraud. The Gazelle
is brief and e,oncTusive"as folloars :
.
These assailants of . the cabinet are very glib
in making charges of cogiißtion and fraud, in
a general way, against the Secretary of War,
hut are very careful to avoid putting their
charges into.a Specific shape. The have been
unable to laY•their fingers _upon a single Act, to
bear them out in their attacks, and as they find
it much easier to get people to listen to abuse
than praise, ;they. confine, theiruselves general
charges and such words of vindictiveness as
their, malice pan invent.
We offer these frank admissions and testi
mony of a portion of the press m various parts
of the country and of our own locality that
have referred to this subject, not so , much that
Gen: Cameron:needs vindication, but to prove
to hit old friends ind neighbors, the yeomanry
and masses of Pennsylvania, that he is esteemed
and respected.as highly. abroad,as he is at hotrie.

8100,000 SEIZED BY THE SECESSIONISTS
FAtirrrE, Mo., Aug. 29
Apprehensions being felt that the branch of
the State Bank at this place would be robbed,
the cashier yesterday sent the specie, amount
ing to about $lOO 000, to the Allen depot, on
the Northern Missouri Railroad, for transporta
tion to St. Louis. On reaching Allen depot,
the money was seized by a party of secessionists,
headed by Capt. Poindexter, and carried off.
Whether it will be returned or not is unde
termined, some saying that Poindexter has been
Induced to return it to the bank., while others
assert that he will attempt to cross the Missouri
river, and carry it to Gen. Price's army in the
southeast. ~
Ex-Minister Preston, in addressing an as
semblage eta picnic at Lexington, Ky., favored
neutrality and peace for Kentucky, but he did
not believe she could preserve either, and if
not, was of the opinion that the sooner she
went with the south the better.
It is reported that Hobleitzer, formerly an ex
