II Alt RIBBURt. , PA Inesday Afternoon, September 24, IS6I THE MULLIGAN SURRENDER A BRAVE MAN AND A GOOD CAUSE HUMILIATED Under our telegraphic head we publish a full account of the surrender of Col. Mulligan, who, with a small force,hacl been contending with vast ly superior numbers for the defense of Lexington, Mo. The details of this news are truly sicken ing as well as most humiliating, and involve a responsibility which the nation will sooner or later call to a strict account. The loss of Lex ington is not of so much importance as the lcss of a large number of brave men, and the moral influence it will wield against the cause of the government among those who are confided in to support and sustain it in power. If men are to be surrendered thus, after bravely battling for many long and weary hours, hungry and this sty, with our large armies almost within hear ing of their guns, and a still larger force within a few hours rallying asssistance, we may need strong armies hereafter, and lack the force nec essary to maintain the honor of our flags, be cause men are not dumb brutes, to be driven into the jaws ‘if death unconscious of danger, or left to contend with a superior force, unassisted and unrefreshed. For four days, the brave men under the gallant Mulligan fought like lions For four days and nights, they withstood the iron hail from thirty-thousand muskets and rifles in the hands of as many traitors. For four days they rallied around their flag and then they surrendered, but not to these numbers, not to the messengers of death that were sped to their bosoms, but to the ex haustion of their worn out bodies, hungry and thirsty, and thus physically unable longer to contend. The result is a disgrace too black and deep to be unrebuked, and until it is ex plained officially, will continue to stir the peo ple with indignation against those responsible. We direct the attention of the reader to the full account of this humiliating result in another column. Cox. GEN. W. W. lawris, who has been ab sent from the state capital for several weeks, on account of severe illness, has returned from his home in Beaver county, fully recovered in health, and once more fitred for the onerous duties of his department. Gen. Irwin is a popular officer with both the soldiers in Camp Curtin and the people of Harrisburg, and we cheerfully welcome him back to his post in their name. GENERAL Scow expects shortly to visit New York, to receive Mrs. Scott, who is on the ocean returning from a short sojourn inFrance. This does not look as if he expected to see the rebels in Washington in less than a week at the short est, Indeed, the old Hero has now discovered that in a month hence it will require glasses of stronger power than those now in use, to ob serve the enemy's operations from our times. On COMPANY OF SOLDIERS, from Fayette coun ty, sent home in one month, for the use of their families, $250. This is doing well, and when the order of the War Department is in full op eration, by which volunteers will have more facilities for remittances home, we expect to record the receipt of large sums of money in this state every month. BRECKINRIDGE, the traitor, counseled Gov. Magoffin to veto the patriotic resolves of the Kentucky Legislature. In a few days, the scoundrel will have to go farther South to es cape arrest; for the loyal people of that State are tired of his treasonable conduct. THE TREASURY DEPARTDIENT is Still actively engaged in the preparation of the Treasury notes. Large amounts have been sent to the western states, where they enter at once into the hMne circulation, and are eagerly taken up. Ross WINANS, of Baltimore, has been re leased from imprisonment. Ho will immedi ately return from Fortress Monroe to his home inißaltimore. It is understood that he has taken the oath of allegiance. Ammo THE NAMES of one hundred and fifty eight persons indicted for treason by the United States District Court at Wheeling, are those of Henry A. Wise and his son Oliver Jennings Wise. THE RIOH3IOND PAPERS are filled with accounts of highway robberies, stabbings in the street, and burglaries. The Richmond Whig of the 18th states that six more federal prisoners have escaped. THE LOYAL MEN Or MARYLAND are doing their share for the support of the government Two full regiments of excellent troops have already been raised in the state, and a third one is forming. PENNSYLVANIA DEIIIOCRACY. We have positively and frequently declared through these columns, that the masses of what once composed the Democratic party, were as loyally devoted to the vindication of the Con stitution and the enforcement of the laws, as any other class of men composing any other politi cal organization in the country. And while we have asserted and maintained these truths, we have also proven that this loyalty was not the result of any lesson inculcated by the creeds of that party, or the effect of the teaching of the leaders thereof. On the contrary, the position of almost every Democratic leader and organ in this state, directly connected with the Buchanan administration, which was claimed as the embodi ment of the Democracy, has been one of an tagonism with the government while engaged in a struggle with rebellion. The policy of the men who hold the organization of the Demo cratic party of Pennsylvania in their hands, has been to imbarrass the administration of Abraham Lincoln, for the purpose first of increasing their local strength, and next once more to win a national existence by regaining the favor of their old allies, the traitors in the south; who are now in rebellion against the federal au thority. There can be no mistaking these posi tions of the old leading hacks of what remains of the Democracy of the state, nor must there be any further mistaking their plans in the ap proaching election. These men are determined if possible to carry a majority of the House of Representatives, and thus assure their friends in the south that the first steps were taken in another of those disgraceful compromises by which the south heretofore maintained power at the expense of the majority of the people of the Union. - The Pittsburg Gazette of Saturday last, refers to this subject, and asks its friends to look calmly at the effect which the "Union" movement is likely to have upon the political aspect of the Legislature. Our friends have, in nominating their tickets, conceded to Democrats one mem ber of the House in Chester, one in Lancaster, one in Schuylkill, one in Luzerne, one in Adams, one in Northumberland, one in Frank lin, one in Huntingdon, and one in Jefferson, and two are claimed hi Allegheny county. The ones we have here noted will be chosen, beyond a doubt ; let us admit, for the argument's sake, that the two claimed from Allegheny county will also be chosen.— Then look at the effect upon the House, the probable result in the other counties being ta ken into account: DIST. REP. DEAL. Adams 1 Allegheny 8 2 Armstrong and Westmoreland 3 Butler Beaver and Lawrence Berke, Bucks Blair Bradford Clarion Clearfield, Jefferson, &c Cumberland and Perry. Chester Columbia and Montour Crawford and Warren.. Cambria Centre Clinton and Lycoming Delaware Dauphin E ie ... =lll Franklin and Fulton Greene Huntingdon Indiana Juniata and Union Lancaster Lebanon Luzerne Lehigh and Carbon.. Mercer and Venango Montgomery Monroe and Pike Northumberland Northampton... Philadelphia.... Potter and Tioga Susquehanna Somerset and Bedford Schuylkill Washington Wayne York There are two or three districts in this list which are doubtful, These are Centre, Fay ette, one in Bucks, and one in Washington. But give all these to the Republicans, and it gives them but 49 to 51 Democrats. It will thus be seen that what has been con ceded to the Democrats by the liberality of the Republicans throughout the State has jeopardi zed the House, while the concession of two members from Allegheny county would render it certain against us. We will not stop to con sider what the effect of such a result would be upon the legislation of the State ; but look at the probable effect abroad, and particularly at the south. Would it not be hailed there as an evidence of reaction—as a clear indication of that change in public sentiment they have been, so longing and looking for ? Let Republicans think upon it. _ Wruns P. llianonm, of North Carolina, died at his residence in Orange county, in that state, on Saturday, Sept. 11, at the age,of sixty-nine years. For some years he had suffered with paralysis, and it is probable that the recent death of his only son, from a wound received on the field of Manassas, depressed his spirit to a point from which he could not again rally. He was bona in Orange county, Noah Caro lina, in 1792, and graduated at the university of that state in 1815. He studied law, rose to eminence in his profession, engaged in politics, and was elected to the House of Commons in his state in 1818. In 1819 he was elected a Judge of the Superior Court of North Carolina; and from 1823 to 1826 served as a representa tive in Congress. He was elected a United States Senator in 1831, re-elected in 1841, and for a third terra in 1848. In 1837 North Cam lina gave him her eleven electoral votes for the Presidency of the Union, and during Tyler's administration he was President of the United States Senate. His political preference favored the whig party, but'since 1853 he has entirely abandoned the political , arena and lived in re tirement. MEN wao
