THE UNION-THE CONSTITUTION -AND
THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.
BARRISBURO , PA
Saturday Afternoon, September 1, 1861.
Is SIAVIiILY had been politically disfranchised
thirty years ago, would this rebellion have ()C.-
ourred ? If slavery had no political enfrauchise
ments and powers, would the politicians of thg
south contend for it so tenaciously ? We do
not ask these questions because we expect to be
answered, but werather suggest them as a
means Of starting some of our readers to think
ing otall the incidents and influences occuring
and at work in this fearful crisis, and then
making up for themselves an opinion in the
premises. If slavery were not invested with a
political influence and power, it would have
few defenders even in the south. It is its frau.
chisel which induce the rebels to make it an
issue in their struggles. If it were merely the
domestic institution they claim it to be, with its
chattier no better than our beasts of burden, as
they assert they are, without the right of repre
sentation, as they should be, being only beasts,
the traitors would seek an equally flimsy pre
text for their treason, and regard slavery as an
absolute nuisance and burden to the south.
But slavery gives the slaveholder, or rather the
desperate politician of the south, a political
power which, were the same labor performed
by freemen, wielding their own franchises, in
stead of leavlig them to the exercise of others,
he would not possess nor could not control.
The free people of this country must remem
ber these things, acid when they have forced
peace at the point of the bayonet, they
must proceed deliberately to crush the
spirit of rebelion by disfranchising the institu
tion
of slavery. The people of the free states
must not necessarily interfere with the numeri
cal strength of slavery—they need not interpose
barriers to its introduction into new territories
—and they can lend all their aid and influence
to the enforcement of fugitive slave laws. But
let the announcement be made that slavery
shall not be represented politically—that it shall
be decidedly and emphaticaly a domestic institu
tion, and when this is done, it will cease to be
a bone of contention in the political arena, if it
does not transform its present advocates of the
- south into the most bitter abolitionists in the
world.
ENLIGHTENING THE ENEMY.
One of the most grievous faults of the cam
paign which the government is profiecuting
against the rebels, is confined entirely to a class
of men who are otherwise loyal and desirous of
doing, all in their , power to ensure the successof
the federal arms and the consequent overthrow
of the rebel cause. We allude to the conduc
tors, correspondents and publishers of newspa
pers in the free states. These gentlemen un
consciously give aid and comfort to the enemy,
when they are lauding the valor and numbers
of our own troops, and in order to suppress this
description of information, the government
publishes an order on the subject. But by far
the worst characters in the loyal states are those,
who profess to oppose the war on constitutional
or conscientious motives and reasons. This
class is far more numerous than one could sup
wee, and are engaged in the business of giving
information to the common enemy to an extent
from which we have already materially suffered,
and who, if not arrested and punished, may
yet succeed in completely damaging our cause.
It is just, then, that we should repeat the fol
lowing order, however often it has been giVen
te%the public. It will serve as a warning 'to,
those who are really g - uilty,of giving informs.
to the rebels, and deter others from doing what
they otherwise imagine is of no particular con
sequence or danger :
War Department, Adjutant General's Oth - se,
Washington, August 26, 1861. f
By the 67th article of the act of Congress en
titled an act for establishing rules and articles
for the government of the armies of the United
States, approved April 10, 1806, "holding cor
respondence with or giving intelligence to the
enemy, either directly or indirectly," is made
punishable by death, or each other punishment
as shall be ordered by the sentence of a court
martial. Public safety requires strict enforce
ment of this article. It is therefore ordered
th.t all correspondence and communication,
verbaly or by writing, printing, or telegraph
ing, respecting operations of the army, or min
ts y movements on land or water, or respect
ing the the troops, camps, arsenals, entrench
ments, or military affairs, within the several
military districts, by which intelligence shall
be, directly or indirectly, given to the enemy,
without the authority and s 'action of the Gen
eral in Command, be, and the same are abso
lutely prohibited, and, from and after the date
of this order, persons violating the same will
be proceeded against under the 67th article of
war, By order :
L. Turmas, Adjutant General.
It is the purpose of the Thar Department to
enforce this order against all offending, as well
those.who claim to be Unionists and are guilty
of its violation, as those who are notorious sym
pathisers with the course of the traitors and
their deluded southern followers. It is evident
that the government has been reluctant to move
against newspapers aiding and abetting the
enemy (without intending to do so) by the pub
**tam Of news of military operations and pre
mations the promulgation of which may be
inoompatable with the public interest. That is
to mak
,before having, given them the warning
inycigist nif.this order. The public qui :T s ai
afford to await results without the indulgence
of a greedy and a morbid desire for details,
when it is admitted on all sides that the relat
ing or publication of finch facts produce confu
sion in our ranks, and afford the enemy the
most important knowledge of our position and
movements. With this view of the subject,
every good citizen will admit the policy and
the sense of cheerfully complying with the order
of the government in this particular.
WIMKEY-DISCIPLIIVE-RESPECT AND
SUCCESSS.
The story of the alchemist who, when he had
discovered the properties of alcohol supposed he
had found an elixir that was to be proof against
death, may be true or not. If true, then it
seems as if the Deity, who was thus sought to
be frustrated, had determined to teach the pre
sumption of man a signal lesson, by making
that which he had audaciously intended as a
conquest of death, death's means of conquest,
with which nations were to be desolated, youth
and beauty blasted, fame and honor destroyed,
and the hopes, the achievements, and the glory
of the world crushed, marred, or dimmed. Al
cohol, then, instead of being an elixir of life, has
been its evil—instead of being the antidote of
any of its ills, has beenthe most baneful of them
all. The mere use of it may produce for a time
some happy nervous effects, by the allayment
of the nervous system ; but the abuse so speed
ily follows the use, that moral death and damna
tion become the inevitable results. We hold,
then, that alcohol instead of being any benefit
to mankind, is a real and decided injury. No
man ever used it for a length of time without
being affected by its influence in a manner in
jurious to the ei3rlstem,—tess in some cases than
in others, but still materially injurious to all in
the end. While alcohol is thus injurious, how
are we to estimate its• adulteration ? How are
we to calculate its deceptions in the qualities of
drinks it presents to the deluded, the infatuat
ed and the intemperate portion of mankind ?
Strong drink begets all other vices. Intemper
ance is the mother - of a multitude of sins, any
one of which is sufficient to damn a man for
ever, if he perishes while in its practice. The
man who is an habitual drunkard, is not the
man to direct, control, or command any body
of men. This is as true in relation to business
in private life, as it is to business of a public
character, civil or military. In public life, par
ticularly, no man ever achieved permanent suc
cess who was addicted to strong drink. Some
may have gained immense reputation, and their
names may have 'been* tower of strength in
the estimation of the people or an army ; but'
when either citizens or soldiers discover that
the man they have respected and confided in,
was only a common drunkard, respect and con
fidence give way to disgust and derision.
In the organization of a great army, one of
the first objects aimed at, is the thorough disci
pline of the men. An army may be ever, eo,
gorgeously equipped and ever so efficiently
armed, but if it is not disciplined, its equip
ments and arms answer no ether purpose than
a burden to that demoralization which its lack
of discipline engenders. -And thiii discipline is
not secured by'the adoption of rigorous rules or
the promulgation of tyranical orders. It must
be accomplished.by example. Respect musttbe
won by self respect, and obedience enforced by
the law of example as well as the word of corn
mud, Efow many of the officers of a lower
grade in the army and navy are•there who have
adopted and conscientiously follOw out these
rules ? How many of them teach discipline by
the force of example, With which they won the
respect of their men or impressed them with the
absolute necessity of obedience . ? Observation
leaves us with the contemplation of few such,
and yet the armyand navy contain men who,
even in the pursuit of a professiOn that entails
death and misery on mankind, yet cultivate
the most excellent qualities of christian virtues,
moral attributes of temperance, candor and
kindness. But the great majority of these in
comnuumi, from the highest to the. lovrest, are
too prone to yield to that vice which of all
others most unfits men for responsible stations
of every description—a.nd when an officer so
far forgets himself as to risk the lives and
li Labs of those under his command, by indulg
ing to stupefaction in liquor, he makes himself
the assassin of every man who_ falls in battle,,
while in camp he is unworthy the respect or the
confidence of his command. An officer in the
army or navy has no right to get. drunk: - , He
has pledged his brains to his country—he has
devoted himself to its cause—for which Unit
country has edueitted him, elevated him, and
in all respects distinguished, by recognizing
him, and therefore when he impairs any of his
faculties by intemperance, he lessens hie ability
to fulfil his part of a solemn contract, and of
course is criminally guilty in a degree little
lees than that for which men are held accoun
table to some of the strictest penalties ofjustice.
Newspapers and preachers may publish and
lecture on this subject, and the evil may still
increase, but with that increase are.bound to
come defeat, misery, disgrace and death. We
have no moral or political right to hope for suc
cesa unless we evince our respect for the great
moral and political requirements of the times.
These requirements are .the practice of temper- .
ance on the part of those who command in the
army, se well as those who lead in the councils
of cabinets and legislatures. If this is not en
forced, we will not and cannot be successful.
All the armies that can be equipped, with their
trains leading from the Atlantic to the Pacific
ocean, will become demoralized by their own
passions and the vices of those who command
them, will lead their forces into a danger more
destructive than masked batteries of riffled
cannon.
BRE&DRILTTS SHIPPING. —The rates of grail
freight at New York still keep np to remuner
ating figures, and the exports are said to be
sufficiently large to require all the ships offer

been made, and an active demand exists for
ships to load for France at 21 to 24 cents a
bushel for grain a na 80 cents a barrel fox; flour.

Letter From President Lincoln.
WASHINGTON ; D. C. August 24.
To His Excellency, B. Magoffin, Governor of the
State of Kentucky :
Sir :—Your letter of the 19th inst., in which
you "urge the removal from the limits of Ken
tucky of the military force now organized and
in camp within that State" is received.
I may nut pawls full and precisely accurate
knowledge upon this subject'; but I believe it is
true that there is a militaryforce in cartip with
in Kentucky, acting by authority of the Unit4d
States, which force is not very , large, and is Rot
now being augmented. • -
I also believe that some arms have been fur
nished to this force by the United States.
I also believethis - force coissiste•exclusive's; of
Kentuckians, having their camp in the imme
diate vicinity of their own homes, and not as
sailin

In all It have done in the premises, I have
acted upon• the 'urgent solialtatiun of many Ken
tuck's' rut, and in accordance with what I be
lieved, and still = believe, to be the wish of a
majority of all the Union-loving people of
I have conversed on this subject with
many eminent •men* of Kentucky, including 'a
large majority of her members .of Congress, I
do not remember that any one of them or any
other person, except , your. Excellency and the
bearers of your Excellency's letter, has urged
me to remove , the military force from Ken
tucky, or to disband it. One other very wor

the augmenting of the force suspended for 'a
time.
Taking all the means within ^my reach to
form a judgment, I do not believe it is the po

removed beyond her limits ;- and with this im
passion, I must respectfully decline to remove
I most cordially sympathize with your Excel

Heroic Condnet of Capt. Strong
WAIOUNGTON, Sept. 7
Reports from various points on the Virginia
side of the Potomac: represent all quiet there
during last night and this morning. Our troops
near Alexandria found six brass six pounders
yesterday burled in the ground, a short distance
from the railroad station. They were taken to
Fort Ellsworth.
The proprietor of a faro bank was arrested
yesterday, it being reported that a paymaster
in the Navy who is detained here in custody has
been patronizing the establishment by large
ventures of motley. The various other gamb
ling estalishments were closed last night at an
early hour probably from a fear that their bus
ness would also be interrupted or suspended by ,
the Government authorities.
The heavy firing yesterday morning was from
battery practice, which persons a mile distant
construed into an engagement, a brittle having
from day to day beenpreclicted by many, owing
to the near approach of the two armies.
Governor Curtin will be instructed to com
mission all regiments now in the field and those
authorized to be raised in Pennsylvania by the
War Department, giving all volunteers the
benefit of the State appropriation, while the
United States will clothe and organize them.
It has been definitely ascertained that the
officer recently killed by one of our soldiers was
G. W. Hughes, of Baltimore, who, during the
commencement of hostilities, attempted to or
ganize a cavalry company, to cut off our troops
at Annapolis.
An order was issued to day for the shooting
of a soldier, on next Monday, for sleeping at
his post.
A telegraphic dispatch to the reporter for the
Associated Press, dated at Chain Bridge, says
Captain Strong, of the Second Regiment of
Wisconsin volunteers, had a narrow escape thii
morning. He was on picket duty three miles
in front of our hues, on the 'Virginia side of the
river, opposite Chain Bridge. Being mounted
and in advance of his men, he was suddenly
surrounded and taken prisoner by six Secession
ists, composed of four infantry and two cavalry.
After taking him a short distance to the rear
they demanded his pistols, and thinking this
was his only chance of escape, he drew a re,=
volyer, fired, and shot two of his captors, and
then,
putting the spurs to his horse, he started
for his camp on a lull run, and the remainder
of the party fired upon him, one ball passing
through his canteen, another his coat, grazing
the akin, and a third through his left cheek
passing out of his mouth. Nevertheless, he
made good his'escape, esaape, and came into camp thin
afternoon, ready again to enter upon duty.
Captain Strong fought bravely. at Bull-ann.

This morning at 11 o'clock, General Grant,
with two regiments of infantry, one orompar4
of light artillery, and two gun-boats, took pos
session of Paducah, Kentucky. He found seces
sion flags flying in different parts of the city, in
expectation of greeting the arrival of the rebel
army, which was reported to be 8,800 strong,
only sixteen wiles distant. The loyal citizens
tore down the secession flags on the arrival of
our troops.
General Grant took possession of the telegraph
office, railroad depot, and Marine Hospital. He•
found large quantities of cooked rations, and
supplies of leather.ffir the rebel army.
The following was issued
I have come among you, not as an enemy,
but as your friend and fellow-citizen ; not to
injure or annoy you, but to respect, defend ana
enforce the lights of all loyal citizens. The
enemy in rebellion against. our common gov
ernment haa taken possession, and planted its
guns upon the soil of Kentucky and fired upon
our flag. Columbus and Hickman are in his
hands. He is moving upon your city.
I am here to defend you against this enemy,
to assist you to maintain the authority and se

with your personal opinions. I shall deal only
with armed rebellion, its alders and abettors.—
You can pursue your usual avocations without

suggests theat there are thousands on thousands
of men at the North, now passed the age at
which they are deemed liable to perform mili
tary duty, most of whom are anxious to show
their devotion to the country in some way or
other. This desire is a very laudable one and
should be gratified. This clan of men might
not be exactly fitted for field service, long
marches and the like, but they would answer
quite as well, in many respects even better,
than younger men, in the various fortifications
of the country. Every fort in Missouri, Kansa),
Western Texati—in fact every fortification from
the Atlantic Ocean to the Rocky Mountains,
and from these mountains to the Pacific, where
now are statiorod men fitted for the field,
might well be filled with the prudent, brave
and hardy class above designated, and the men
now pent up within the walls of these fortifi
cations could go forth to active duty in defence
