LITTLE LAWRENCE THE STAR OF THE
WEST.
Perhaps it is not politic to discriminate between
the counties of the state, as to which of them
has contributed most liberally to sustain the
government in its present struggles, when all of
them are doing nobly, and evidently doing their
utmost in this particular. But the case under
consideration is only offered as a reply to the
boast which was lately made in regard to the
number of menwhich the state of Arkansas fur
nished to the rebel ranks. The number in pro
portion to population was very great, and at the
time the at dement was made, it was used as
ridicule against Pennsylvania and other loyal
states, because, it was asserted, that they had
not contributed in like manner to support our
boasted loyal cause. A cones} ondent from
Lawrence county diows that so far as that coun
ty is concerned, the ridicule was raisdire cted
as the facts prove that they have contributed
more men in proportion than any other county
or state, to either the loyal or rebel cause. He
states his figures thus, showing the number of
men Lawrence county has in the ranks of the
grand army of the Republic ; and this, too, out
of a population containing only thirty-five hun
dred voters :
600 with Col. Leasure, stationed at Washing
• ton.
100 with Col. Power, stationed at Harrisburg.
100 more to stmt. next week for Col. Power at
Harrisburg.
160 with Col. Campbell's artillery regiment,
stationed at Washington.
100 with Col. Doubleday's cavalry, stationed
at Cleveland.
100 at least in companies outside of the
county.
1,160 in all.
Our correspondent further asks if there is any
other county east or west, north or south, to ex
cel Lawrence? We think not, and therefore
yield her the proud tittle of the Star of the West.
THE CONFISCATION OF REBEL. PROP
ERTY.
This subject has already elicited much news
paper controversy, both in regard to its legality
and policy. • It was asserted that by the confis
cation of rebel property, retaliation would be
invoked, by which loyal men would suffer
greatly, while by the first act of confiscation,
the rebellion would receive no serious damage.
Be this as it may, Secretary Seward has put to
rest at least one question, as to the kind of
property which can be confiscated.' In a recent
circular on' the subject, he declares that from
an inspection of the provisions of the acts of
Congress, no property is coufu3cated or subjected
to forfeiture except such as is in transit, to or
from insurrectionary states, or used for the pro
motion of the insurrection. Real estate bonds
promissory notes, monies on deposit, and the
like, are therefore not subject to seizure or con
fiscation in the absence of evidence of such un
lawful use. All officers, while vigilant in the
prevention of the conveyance of property to or
from insurrectionary states, or the use of it for
insurrectionary purposes, are expected to be
careful in avoiding unnecessary vexation and
cost by seizure not warranted by law.
'fun Comsat Pions is not very satisfactory
in its reply to our question respecting the man
ner in which Blair, a rabid supporter of Breck
inridge, shcceeded in getting an indorsement at
the hands of a Republican convention of Centre
county, as candidate for state senate, when at
the same time Blair's name appears at the head
of every Democratic paper in that district as a
strictly patty candidate, and also that the De
mocracy of Centre county refused to compromise
with the Republicans on a single nomination,
while its leaders are known to be actively en
gaged in advocating concession and compromise
as a means of wooing rebellion to repentance
and allegiance. The Republicans of the state
have already made too many concessions to a
class of politicians of the Blair school, and most
mournful would it indeed be, for the interests of
the commonwealth, were a majority of such men
seated in our halls of legislation. We assert
this, while we believe Mr. Blair to be personally
"a clever fellow," but politically, not the man
for the times or the crisis.
"Luna Mac," is the popular and familiar
abreviation in which the federal troops refer to
Qen. McClellan. lie is very popular with the sol
diers. Aco incidence in connection with this
young commander, Is contained in the fact,
that there is also a Geo. B. McClellan in the rebel
ranks, a - colonel of a Mississippi regiment, who
bears astrong resemblance to Geo. B. McClellan
of the loyal troops. There is no relationship ex
isting between the two George B.'s, and of
course no regard, while one is thus fighting
against, and the other is struggling to defend
his country.
71IE NATIONAL LOAN.
The Trelsury Department, in consequence of the
inability of William M. Kerr to act as subscrip
tion agent in connection with the national loan,
has appointed J. W. Weir, the popular cashier
of the Harrisburg Bank, who will devote his ener
gies and great experience to promoting the ob
jects of the government in this particular among
the people. Notwithstanding we alluded to the
great necessity of the people subscribing to the
loan, only a few days since, we deem this mat
ter of sufficient importance to continue its agi
tation, and daily urge the loyal men of the
country to offer their wealth in assistance to
the government in the hour of its peril. The
power to extend this aid was never greater
than it is now, immediately after the gath
ering of one of the most abundant harvests
with which the agriculturalists of the country
were ever blessed. The products of this har
vest are already in the market, commanding the
best of price, and therefore putting into circula
tion immense sums of money. This circulation
must find its way again into the hands of the
government, and it therefore becomes the peo
ple who control it voluntarily to offer it for use
to that government, at higher rate or interest
than is paid by any other investment, than to
force the government to increase the rate of
taxation, and thus procure aid in a manner that
would seem burdensome to the Capitalists. As
it is, all other property and investments are
taxed to sustain this loan, while the loan itself
is exempted, and to ensure its safety and in
crease its returns, the public honor and resour
ces are pledged for its liquidation, while its
interest is to be paid every six months, thus
affording the opportunity for compounding, and
of course thus also increasing the amount of
and the interest on the original installment.
In a business view, and as an operation solely
to make money, there is no other investment
offered to the country which can possibly pay
as profitably. This fact cannot be written,
printed or spoken too often. It is an honor to
the country which tenders it, an earnest
of hope and security to the people to whom it
is tendered, and therefore their patriotism as
well as their interest are invoked to induce
them to contribute whatever of their means
they can apply to this great purpose. Aside
from these inducements, there is a still higher
and nobler motive than the incentive of gain,
which should prompt every capitalist freely to
offer his wealth as one of the means of sustain
ing this government and vindicating its au
thority. We are engaged in a war peculiarly
belonging to and only for the benefit of the peo
ple. Since the Revolutionary struggle, there
never was a summons made to a people for aid
which so directly concerns themselves in all their
relations, political, social and religious. The
freedom of speech, the liberty of the press, the
right of property, trial by jury, and all the in
estimable blessings we enjoy under our present
form of government, would not be secured to
us, if we failed in our efforts to sustain that
government, and therefore it behooves every
man to ponder well the part he has to play in
this great drama. Thousands have already de
voted their lives to the cause ; tens and hun
dreds of thousands have given up home and
business to make the same offer, and are ready
now in the ranks to emulate the sacrifice which
their brethern have already made, and which
will render their memories immortal in the
history of free government. And all this is
only necessary, because without these sactifices
of limbs and life, we cannot and dare not ex
pect to succeed. And when this great necessity
is thus proudly and promtly met, Who will re
fuse to respond to an appeal which only asks
for money t Who will hesitate to give gold, if
they have it, while others are wading in blood
and gore, for their country ? These are ques
tions which suggest themselves, and they must
be answered. All that we are and have, belong
to the government. Under the protection of
the government, we have achieved state and
personal reknown and reputation, and if that
government falls, all will sink forever, states to
be involved in the ruin of the wreck, and indi
viduals to become slaves for want of a govern
ment to make them freemen.
—The subject of a loan is so prolific that edi
torial expand beyond their usual length, while
referring to its merits. But we must never for
get its practical merits, .while thus lauding
all the benefits and glories which it involves.
We must remember that without money, this
struggle cannot be prosecuted, and without
money this government cannot be sustained
and again put into harmonious and peaceful
operation. Even if no security or interests were
offered for this loan, the fact that the money is
needed to preserve a land of liberty, would be
sufficient to untie every purse string and un
bar every vault in the country. So great is
the security and so holy the cause which thus
seek assistance, that appeal and argumentshould
be abolished for immediate action and contri
bution. And we trust that this cause and ne
cessity will address themselves to the people of
Dauphin county. As they have not been be
hind in offering men, so let them be among the
foremost in contributing money to support the
government. Our teeming fields have yield.d
richly and abundantly—our finances are pros
perous and bouyant, so that all that is needed is
the offeaing of a share of our profits to ensure
the success of the men who fight our battles,
and the confidence of those who are patrioti
cally administering our government. Dauphin
county can take a quarter of a million in this
loan, and be profitted by the investment.
AMONG THE MOST INTERESTING features in the
composition of our army is the number of for
eign officers who have proffered their services as
volunteers, and have been accepted by the Pres
ident. The following list, we believe, compri
ses the whole of them :
Prince Salm•Salm Prussia.
Colonel Liebenhoff Prussia.
Lieutenant Oscar Brendeuer Prussia.
Lord Adolphus Vane Tempest England
Lieutenanteolonel Fitzroy de Courcy. . England
Count de Paris France.
Duke de Chartres France.
Captain Vegesack Sweden.
Captain Holtman Sweden.
Major W. A. Kirk Canada.

Troops in the Revolutionary War.
The following table shows the number of
troops contributed to the National Army during
the revolutionary war :
Massachusetts 67,907
Connecticut 31,969
Virginia 26,678
Pennsylvania 25,678
New York _17,781
Maryland 13 912
New Hampshire 12,497
New Jersey .10,726
North Carolina 7,263
South Carolina
Rhode Island. .
Georgia..
Delaware
It will be observed that the further South
the States the less the number of troops. Of the
old States, four have seceded, viz :
the two Carolinas, and Georgia. Their contri
butions to the Revolutionary Army were as fol
lows :
Virginia 25,678
North Carolina 7,268
South Carolina 6,417
Georgia
Total 41,952
Or about two-thirds of the number contribu:
ted alone by the Yankees.
MasswonusErrs.—ln fact Massachusetts con
tributed more soldiers during the Revolutiona
ry war, than the six Southern States in the
Confederacy, viz : Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Maryland and Dela
ware. The figures foot up as follows :
Massachusetts 67,907
Six Southern States 58,250
Difference in favor of Massachusetts
These figures present a very curious develop
ment. The hatred of those who are making a
bloody effort to destroy the Union, is mainly
aimed at the Yankees, whose ancestry did most
of the fighting in achieving American indepen
dence. South Carolina, the head and front of
the rebellion, contributed less troops for the
Revolutionary war, proportionate to her popu
lation, then any other State, indicating that her
sympathies then, as now, was with the British
aristocracy. Even little New Jersey furnished
4,305 more Revolutionary soldiers than South
Carolina. It is evident that the old tory spirit
which opposed the war of Independence, having
descended to children and graud-children, bathe
moving power in the present effort to destroy
the Union.
Wny reit WAu is NE/3111SW/. - Conce
ding that the " great republic is gone, "
and that the formation of two distinct confed
eracies out of the old Union is inevitable, the
war in which we are engaged would still be a
necessity. if we are going to divide, we of the
north are entitled to a proper frontier line. We
must have the-Potomac, and, therefore, Mary
land must remain with us, even as a conquest.
As the seceders claim Maryland, they force the
fighting upon us. Mason and Dixon's line
would not be defensible. Western Virginia
has already determined to cast her lot with the
north, yet the seceders are endeavoring to sub
jugate her people. If we are to divide the Blue
Ridge must from another section of our south
ern frontier line. In the west, the great State
of Missouri is nearly surrounded by free States,
and lies directly upon our path to the
Pacific. We could not surrender that State
in any event ; and as her people have, when
ever fairly appealed to, decided to remain in the
Union, we are bound by every consideration of
interest, legality and humanity to drive the in
vaders from the soil of that commonwealth.—
Here are reasons enough for the war, even if it
were admitted that the separation of the North
and the South cannot be prevented by force.—
But the union of all these States is equally a
matter of necessity—of convenience and securi
ty ; and while such a thing as the subjugation
of States is an impossibility under our system of
government, we have entire confidence that the
skillful application of tome for the suppression
of an unscrupulous oligarchy and the gradual
enlightenment of the Southern masses as to the
true purposes of the leaders who have deluded
them, will give us back the great republic, in
all its integrity and stronger than before it was
subjected to the fiery ordeal of a wicked rebel
lion.—Sunday Mercury.
How HARPER'S FERRI' WAS TAxs.v.----The
passage of the secession ordinance by the traitor
convention of Virginia was at first a secret ;
and before its promulgation at Richmond, the
delegates from the Harper's Ferry region had
returned to their homes The instant of their
arrival there they summoned together the
militia officers of their neighborhood, told
them that `"another John Brown raid"had been
made at Harper's Ferry ; and that they had
been sent by Gov. Letcher, in obedience to a re
quisilion made by President Lincoln, to call out the
militia to repel the invasion. This appeal was
promptly rosponded to, and Harper's Ferry was
taken possession of by a body of men who be
lieved they were acting under the authority of
the United States government, and wno never
understood their true position until, after a few
days, they found strangers, secession leaders
from the south, superseding their officers, and
grange soldiers from distant parts looking with
suspicion upon themselves.
Dr. Funsten, of White Post, Clarke county,
at present distinguished as a proscriptive and
cruel officer of rebels in this region, was pecu
liaily adroit and energetic in consumating this
great act of villainy, which, like almost every
act as yet performed by the rebel horde, is char
acterized by meanness, falsehood, and fraud,
toward the loyal and peace loving portion of
their own citizens.
The foregoing statement has been made to m
by an intelligent and truthful witness, and suf
ferer of the wrongs enacted in Ularke and Jef
ferson counties.
THE ThOuSAND-FOLD DEATH Bona.—Mr. Thos.
Henry Spencer, of Ciucidnati, has invented a
fearful death-dealing bomb. It consists of one
large shell, including any number of smaller
shells, these latter again containing explosive,
bullets, &c. The shells are separate, not con
centric. The fuse will burst under water, and
Mr. Spencer Leheves that he can blow up the
great Eastern whenever she needs it, though he
has great respect for that ship, and hopes he
will not be called on to make the experiment.
We have talked with those who seen the outer
shell explode, followed by eleven shells within
it, and Mr. Spencer guaranties that none of them
can fad to explode Out of three hundred experi
ments not one failed. The inner shells, as we
hinted, may each contain an explosive bullet ;
in fact the seven wives going to St. Ives, each
with seven sacks, &c., were like this terrible
death dealer, except in purpose. The fuse he asserts
to be entirely new, and the only one that can be
depended on ; being a new chemical compound
of Mr. Spencer's invention. He has long been a
chemist and a pyrotechnist, and has devoted
much attention to this subject for fourteen
,years.
A gentleman in Lansing, Michigan, who has
kept as accurate an account as possible, esti
mates that, of thirty-three battles and more
important skirmishes since the war began, the
Union men have been victorious in twenty-two,
the rebels in five, while in the remaining six,
neither party can claim a victory. The number
of prisoners taken by the Unionists, is about
8,200, and by the rebels not quite half as many.
Of the killed, it is impossible to übtain any
thing like accurate knowledge of the lose of
the rebels. The Union low is something over
one thousand ; and the rebel loss is believed' tO'
be more than twice 'that number.

KENTUCKIANS : Called by the Legislature of
this my native State, I hereby assume command
of this Department. I come to enforce not to
make laws, and God willing, to protect your
property and lives. The enemies of the coun
try have dared to invade our soil. Kentucky is
in danger. She has vainly striven to keep
peace with her neighbors. Our State is now in
;faded by those who professed to be her
friends, but who now seek to conquer
her. No true son of Kentucky can
longer hesitate as to his duty to his State and
country. The invaders must, and, God willing,
will be expelled. The leader of the hostile
forces who now approaches is, I regret to say,
a Kentuckian, making war on Kentucky and
Kentuckians. Let all past differences of opin
ion be overlooked. Every one who now rallies
to the support of our Union and our State is a
friend. Bally, then, my countrymen, around
the flagour fathers loved, and which has shield

fence, and for the protection of all that is dear
to freemen. Let us trust in God, and do our
duty as did our fathers.

It is true that Senator Baker has been appoint

regards his place in the Senate as the highest to

it is not probable, entertaining this opinion, that
he will resign it unless the pressing exigencies

CIRCULAR.
ELuuutattrao, Sept. 21, 1861
MESSRS. EDITORB :—I have no other motive in
using your columns than to do justice to the
volunteers who are so ungenerously misrepre
sented in a certain circular in your paper.—
These are the facts of this wonderful case as can
be substantiated by abundant testimony. On
the morning of the 19th inst., as I was going
out to camp,l met Capt. McNally and company.
The Captain informed me that he was ordered
to bring his company to Harrisburg to be mus
tered into the service. He also told me that
many of his men bad no breakfast, and that
Major Williams refused to furnish bis.men with
rations owing to some informality in the Ad
jutant's morning report. I left him and went
to Major William's quarters and enquired
of him the reason why the men
could get no provisions. I was re
plied to in a manner highly discreditable for
an officer. After a vain attempt to get reason
able satisfaction I left him, thinking of Shakes
pear's opinion of "man when clothed with a
little brief authority," On my return to town
I found McNally and his men waiting on the
mustering officer, who came after a long delay.
What conversation passed between him and
Capt. McNally I did not hear, but was inform
ed that he refused to muster in the company.
When I went out of the depot I found the cam.
pany in a high state of excitement,declaring that
they would not go back to Camp Cameron where
they had no tents, blankets, straw or provisions,
which my own observation told me was too
true, for I had given up my own quarters and
blankets to their use. They demanded to be
sent to Lancaster to join their regiment which
was under marching orders. Capt. McNally
and his officers came to me with much feeling,
and said that the company would disband if
they were forced to go back to the camp. I
would here say that there was some twenty
men with the company who were not in the
camp, but had been boarded at Capt. McNally's
own expense. I went with the Captain to see
Capt. Rutherford who kindly told Capt. Mc-
Nally that he would give him transpor
tation to - Lancaster if the company was not
mustered into the service. Capt. McNally
took his men to Lancaster, the citizens
with their usual hospitality provided for
them, they were mustered into the service,
and are now doing a soldier's duty under the
command of the gallant liambright and will
leave with his regiment early this week for
Washington. Capt. McNally and his officers
served in my brigade, and I do not hesitate to
say, (although several hundred dollars of gov
ernment money has been spent to disgrace
them i ) that they are both brave and honorable.
They actually benefited the service by the course
they pursued ; also carried out arrangements
of their organization. As the company was not
mustered into service until they went to Lan
caster, it is an open question whether they dis
obeyed any orders—also, whether Major Wil-
Rams has any command over the volunteer
camp Cameron, or a right to interfere with the
express directions given in the late orders from
the War Department to Governor Curtin and
myself. Respectfully
JAS. S. NEOLILT.
