Monday Afternoon, September 30, IS6
JOSIAH C. YOUNG
This gentleman, the People's Union candi
date for Prothonotary, was nominated by the
Convention which assembled in this city on the
27th inst., and which deemed, at the time, that
it was convened for the purpose of creating a
union sentiment where that sentiment already
largely prevailed, and where the masses of the
people did not desire the introduction of a
third ticket, to add acrimony and bitterness to
a contest which should be conducted with dig
nity, calmness and respectability. The motives
which induced Mr. Young to decline the nomi
nation of the Convention of the 27th, were in
the highest degree manly and honorable. He
had already received the nomination of a great
party, and in that mark of confidence, was con
vinced that he would be doing injustice to
himself and the cause of law and order, if
he permitted the use of his name by those who
sought a revenge for personal disappointment
at the expense of his reputation as a man of
sense, honor and gratitude. The public will
therefore at once perceive that Mr. Young is
entirely justified in his declination of a doubt
ful honor at the hands of men who were them
selves competitors in the people's Union Con
vention for a like recognition and bestowal of
confidence—while the personal friends, and the
public sentiment of patriotism and devotion to
the Union which controlled the People's Union
Convention, will respond to the declination on
the part of Mr. Young in a manner which will
largely increase his vote at the ensuing election.
Asi !e from this act of manly and frank disin
terestedness and devotion to principles on the
part of Mr. Young, he is a man of strictly per
sonal and social integrity, of the highest repu
tation in the business and professional circles
of the county, and with a knowledge of the
multifarious and important duties of the posi
tion for the occupancy of which his friends and
the people have nominated him, that must make
his election one of the essential necessities of
the times.
JAMES FREELALYD
The people of the upper end feel the slight
which was put upon them by one of the con
ventions which -placed a ticket in nomination
to be supported by the people of the entire
county, and they naturally enquire, therefore,
what good reason there is for them to refuse
their unanimous support to their friend and
neighbor, James Freeland, the Peoples' Union
candidate for the legislature. The upper end
of Dauphin county has interests which demand
a faithful legislative representative, and the
people in that region are controlled by an inde
pendence and a pride which will neither brook
insult or neglect from any quarter. We admire
them for these qualities, and we commend them
for thus vigilantly and jealously guarding their
own interests, rights and reputation. We ap
plaud them, too, for the unanimity and enthu
slam with which they are rallying to the sup
port of James Freeland, simply because he is
the man for the times, and the man of all
others essentiallyqualified to guard their welfare
and represent their interests. He is also a
Union man of early and devoted sincerity, and
not one of those who, like Dr. Heck, prate of
their attachment to the Union while they are
sympathizing with its enemies, and refusing
aid to those who are baring their bosoms in its
defence. The people of the upper end of the
county owe it to themselves to unite to a man
in the support of Mr. Freeland, particularly' if
they desire to be represented in the coming im
portant session of the legislature.
RELIEF .FOR TILE SOLDIER
General McClellan has announced the cheer
ing determination, that he will immediately
establish entirely new accommodations for the
care and treatment of the sick and wounded
men in Washington. Hospital provision is also
to be made for the Ohio and Mississippi armies.
It is suggested that societies shall be formed in
every neighborhood where they do not exist al
ready, to collect and work upon materials for
hospital use. The articles needed are blankets,
quilts, knit woolen socks, dressing gowns or
wrappers, woolen or Canton flannel under
shirts and drawers, long loose bedgowns of Can
ton flannel, cushions for wounded limbs and
slippers. Almost every woman in the country
can at least knit or purchase one pair of woollen
stockings, and can contribute jellies and other
delicacies for the sick.
There is a work in this determination on the
part of Gen. McClellan, which should excite the
emulation of every married and single woman
in the land, who is able to ply a sewing ma
chine or thread a needle. And there is fame,
too, to be won in this work of befitting benevo
lence and love, for every woman who has the
soul and the patriotism to engage in it. Wh en
will the ladies of the State Capital organize a
society in response to the suggestion of General
McClellan ?
THE STATE CLOTHING SUPPLIES.
The supplying of clothing to the Pennsylva
nia volunteers, to fill the first requisition of the
President of the United States, for. troops to
defend the federal capital from the threatened
assault of the rebels, has been one of the pro
lific sources whence the enemies of Gov. Cur
tin drew their material for slander and asper
sion. The whole subject, in the hands of a
band of disappointed partizan speculators, was
used as much to gratify their own malicious
feelings of envy and hatred, as it was to dam
age and destroy, if possible, that great politi
cal organization of the people which now sus
tains both the state and national administrations.
But the sequel begins to prove that instead of
there being any fact to sustain these charges,
there was not even a shadow of suspicion, except
that raised in the minds of credulous people,
by the persistent falsehoods of those who were
interested in having a charge of fraud substan
tiated.
The Grand Jury of Philadelphia, to whom
this business was referred, in an able charge
from Judge Ludlow, during the latter part of
last week, made the following clew and con
clusive reference to the subject, in their report
to the court :
Upon the duty thus committed to us, the
Grand Jury entered with an earnest desire to
learn the truth and bring to justice all parties
who might be implicated. In pursuing this
investigation, we had the personal attendance
and aid of the District Attorney, during our ex
aminations, covering a period of six days. We
availed ourselves of the labors of the Grand
Jury of the United States Court, as well as those
of the commissioners appointed by the Gover
nor.
In addition to which we had called before us
witnesses whose names were suggested by mem.
bers of the Grand Jury and by others, and who
were supposed to have any knowledge of the
subject matter of our inquiry.
After a careful examination of all the testimo
ny, sharing as we did in the suspicions which
agitated the public mind, we are constrained to
say that we have no evidence of any fraud
having been perpetrated upon this Common
wealth in the supplies furnished to the troops,
nor of any frauds on the part of those persons,
official or unofficial, engaged in the manage
ment of the interests of the Commonwealth.
From a state of long continued profound
peace we found ourselves plunged into a fright
ful civil war with those whom this Government
had always been taught to look upon as breth
ren. Pennsylvania had made no preparation
for such a contingency, and at no period in her
history was she so utterly helpless for defence
or support to the Government. In the confu
sion and panic which followed the fall of Fort
Sumter, came the call of the President of the
United States for troops, with the intimation
that each state was to supply its own commis
sariat. Most of the articles needed for this de
partment were absolutely not to be had at any
price, and the authorities of Pennsylvania were
compelled to do the best they could in this
emergency, where prompt action was of the
least importance. That there were mistakes
and irregularities is well known ; had it been
otherwise it would have been a marvel. Men ,
inexperienced in the duties of providing for the
outfit of an army were necessarily employed,
and in all instances, so far as we have been
able to learn, these persons freely proffered their
aid without receiving any compensation. That 1
public clamor should be loud against somebody
is no new thing. That under the circumstances
of this great convulsion many things were in
efficiently done is equally true ; but that frauds
were committed upon the state none of the
evidence before us has tended to disclose.
As soon as we can procure a copy of the re
port of the commissioners appointed to examine
into these alleged frauds, we will review the
whole subject. In the meantime we can assure
our readers that that report, completely and
honorably exculpates the administration of Gov.
Curtin from complicity with any fraud, or that
any fraud of any description was perpetrated in
this particular.
Rxv. DE. DEWITT and some of his personal
friends consider that we have clone him injustice
by our quotation of the language he em
ployed in his sermon on the occasion of the na
tional fast day. If this is so, the Reverend
Doctor has his defence, broad and ample in
every particular, and we offer him theonly repa
ration in our power, by tendoring the use of
our columns for the publication of that portion
of his sermon which created such intense ex
citement and indignation when he declaimed it
from his pulpit. We offer to submit that por-
tion of that most remarkable sermon to three
members of his own congregation, whom we
shall select, and who of course were present at
ita delivery, and if Dr. DeWitt's own words
prove that we were wrong, he shall have the
amende honorable, but if he is convicted by the
printed words out of his own mouth, he must
wear sack cloth and ashes, and admit before the
people of this loyal city, that he was most au
daciously ungrateful when he sought the dis
grace of a country and a people to whom he is
indebted for all his worldly goods, saintly
privileges and sinecure position. Will Dr.
DeWitt and his friends accept the proposition?
—ln this connection we must remind some of
the friends of Dr. DeWitt that they mistake
their man when they attempt to move or
in
timidate us with annonymous letters of a scur
rilous and threatening spirit. If they seek the
truth, let them do so openly and decently. If
they desire to defend a friend, let them do so
frankly and fairly, and not prostitute themselves
and damage their friend by making his course
their motive for an ebulition of bitter personal
spleen and blackguardism. If this is a national
war, Dr. DeWitt was guilty of a wrong in com
mending or defending the cause of the rebels.
If it is a sectional struggle, his partizan feelings
betrayed his discretion when he assailed the
valor and the daring, the justification and the
merits on which the northern or loyal people
of this country enter this contest. We assert
that he has no right to do so, and if he believes
that the free white men of this land have
broken any covenant with slavery, let him des
cend from his pulpit, hold his peace in the
midst of loyal citizens and Christian gentlemen,
or follow his affections into the rebel army,
and there illustrate his sentiments with common
traitors, in striking blows instead of uttering
libels against his country.

which has been used in stuffing mattresses, &c.,

CONGRETSIONAL ELECTION. —H Dn. John S.
Watts was elected Delegate to Congress from
New Mexico, at the election in that Territory
on the second instant.
Pennopluattia Matlt) Cdtgraph, itiontiap ltfttrnoon, September 30. 1861.
This is the general topic of discussion just
now. Our friends across the water are thinking
as patiently about it as we are ourselves. It
appears that the mills of Manchester can get
along very conveniently for another year, by
piecing out with short time for their operatives;
accurate computations have almost, if not
quite, settled it that there will be no pinch if
the foreign spinners are forced by our blockade
to forego their usual supply for an entire year.
By that time, the production of the raw mate
rial will have developed itself so far that a
modification of the great southern monopoly
will be established. They have heard of our
troubles in India long ago; and the stimulus
of high prices will certainly drive them to
wider culture; it has, we learn, had that effect
already. The British capitalists, as well as as
sociations in sympathy of the government, are
not idle with their experiments in the same di
rection. Egypt, India, China, Africa, Jamaica,
Brazil, and Central America will be laid under
contribution for securing cotton supplies, and a
spirit of enterprise in this culture will be
awakened of which there is no refluent tide.
If our Southern brethren, blind with passion,
should see fit to continue this war long enough,
they will open their eyes at last to find that
they have killed the goose that so long laid
them their golden egg in peace, and the civil
ized world arrayed in active competition with
them. No harder blow could be struck at the
system of plantation slavery, therefore, than
they are thus striking themselves against it.
If they find their social arrangements finally
turned topsey-turvey, they will have none to
thank for it but themselves; the result, which
any one might have foreseen, is of their own
choosing. And with the cotton-districts of the
world all competing for the privilege of sup
plying manufacturers with the raw staple, it is
going to require a more intelligent and econom
ical mode of culture than is to be had by the
present slavery system, in order to hold our
own against outside competitors. Thus will
slavery prove a doomed institution ; its jealous
defenders and zealous propagandists will learn
the lesson that is never to pass unheeded, that
no scheming of man is able to set aside the
silent operations of the laws of nature, whether
in politics or in trade.
GENERAL CAMERON IN CENTRAL PENN
In no other portion of the old Keystone state,
perhaps, is Simon Cameron better known or
more highly esteemed than he is in the counties
of the centre. In that locality, and pal titularly
in Centre county, he has many warm and ardent
personal as well as troops of political friends,
who rally to the slogan of his name with all the
enthusiasm and energy of honest and manly de
votion. The following article from the last
issue of the Centre Democrat, published in Belle
fonte, the organ of the Democratic party when
it was in its purity and power, but at present an
ardent advocate of Republicanism, • indicates
the strength of the popularity of the Secre
tary of War in the region alluded to, and the
tenacity and jealousy with which the people of
that locality cling to and defend his character.
This article ; which we append, will repay per
usal
We see by our exchanges that there is a dis
position to detract from the character of Gen.
Cameron, Secretary of War. We have long
been the friend of Gen. Cameron—not because
he ever did anything for us—but because we
admired the man—his industry, his indefatiga
ble perseverance, and the tenacity with which
he has always adhered to the interests of Penn
sylvania, and therefore to the interests of those
sturdy sons of toil who inhabit her fertile val
lies and her rich and almost illimitable lumber
and mineral regions. He has proved himself
in a thousand instances—aye his whole life has
proved to be an honest man, a far-seeing and
sagacious statesman and politician. A man
who would, under all circumstances, take care
of his friends, and at the same time be true to
the great principles of truth and justice.
Gen. Cameron, as Secretary of War, has had
more onorous duties to perform in one month
than had any of his predecessors in six months,
or one year. President Lincoln was inaugurated
at a time when the country apparently had
gone to ruin. When the question with the
people was, have we a Government ? President
Buchanan had betrayed his trust—aye, perjured
himself, and therefore, suffered State after
State to secede without any interferance. but
rather with encouragement, from him. Had
he done his sworn duty, and at the time of the
first uprising in South Carolina, declared, like
the immortal Jackson, "The Union, it must and
shall be preserved," who will dare say that we
would now be cursed, and our business in
terests ruined by this unholy slave rebellion.—
He had the power to do it. He had with him
the Supreme Court, the Senate and the Con
gress of the United States, and might, there
fore, have adopted or passed any laws or com
promise he, or they, felt disposed to pass. But
they did not desire to use the power conferred
upon them by the Constitution, and which they
were sworn to respect and enforce. They pre
ferred to remain quiescent until after the in
auguration of President Lincoln, while this
very disposition to do nothing demonstrated
their inferiority as well as their incapacity to fill
the great and responsible trusts imposed upon
them by the sovereign and over-confiding peo
ple of the United States.
In the midst of this treachery, and we might
say without departing from facts, perjuiy and
bare-faced robbery, Abraham Lincoln was in
augurated on the 4th day of March, 1861.
Without a government, - without the power to
enforce the laws, with a triasury robbed by
Cobb of millions of dollars, with our best guns,
forts and military property stolen by Floyd and
his fellow secession Democrats in the south. At
this time, and under such lamentable circum
stances, Gen. Cameron was called upon to serve
his country in the capacity of Secretary of War.
Has he performed his duty in that capacity ?
If not, what has he left undone, or wherein has
he failed? Will those ranting hypocrites who
never cease to malign and traduce his character
please answer ? It would be a blessing to the
country if all public functionaries could give as
good account of themselves as can Gen. Cam
eron. Look, for a moment, at the condition in
which he found the War Department, and that
too, when eight States were out of the Union,
and a rebel President and Vice President chosen
and a rebel Congress organized in those States.
The army full of traitors. The Department at
Washington full of secession clerks. Our best
guns, arsenals, forts and army stores stolen.
Out of this confused and chaotic condition of
his department, at a time, too, when he could
not tell in whom he could place confidence,
Gen. Cameron by the most herculean efforts
brought order, system, safety to the Capital and
a restoration of confidence.
Since the lamentable disaster at Bull Run he
has shown himself almost more than human.
His indefatigable exertions in the reorganiza
tion of our scattered and disheartened forces,
hia calling Gen. McClellan to the command at
THE COTTON QUESTION.
SYLVANIA
SECRETARY OF WAR
Washington, all prove him to be a master
workman, possessed of a powerful intellectual
genius—just the man for the place, and the place
for the man. Pennsylvania may well be proud
of her noble and true hearted Cameron—her
own printer boy, who has worked his way up
from poverty to position, fame, honor and al
most unbounded wealth. People of Centre
county, of Pennsylvania, will you be true to
Gen. Cameron, as Gen. Cameron has been true
to you and your interests ?
"The Frosty Sons of Thunder."
Cortespoodenee of the Telegraph
At the first call of the Governor for troops,
Somerset county was slow in tendering her sons,
the complement of the first call being filled,
they could not be accepted ; still, she was not
discouraged, At the second call, Capt. Cum
mings marched his company to Camp Wilkins,
and joined Col. Hayes' regiment, and is now in
active service. At the third call, the tocsin of
war was sounded, and her noble sons from the
hills, the vallies, the glades and ever-green
plains came fdrth to do or die for their country.
A fine company has joined Col. Houel's regi
ment at Camp Lafayette, two have joined Col.
Campbell's regiment at Camp Curtin, and three
More are now being raised in the county.
We spent Saturday afternoon with the "frosty
sons" now in Camp Curtin, and a better set of
boys we have not met for many a day, "all full
of fun and longing to see the elephant." Among
them are some torty teachers and several doc
tors. Captains Yutsy and Hite are model offi
cers, making their home in the tented field, at
tending to the wants of their men, and sharing
with them the privations and toils incident to
camp life. These "frosty sons" will carry back
to their pine•clad hills a good report.
BY TELSIAPiI
The Rebels Evacuate Munson Hill,
A GREAT BLUNDER.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29
During last week it was so frequently report
ed from day to day that our troops had taken
possession of Munson's Hill that when last
night this long predicted event took place it
found but few believers among those least ex
cited by sensation reports. A personal visit,
however, puts the fact beyond doubt. The
American flag now floats there in place of that
of the rebels.
Detachments from Generals Richardson's
Keyes' and Wadsworth's brigades, and also
from General Franklin's division now occupy
Munson's Hill, being in command of Colonel
Terry, of the Fifth Michigan regiment.
Early this forenoon the pickets from General
Smith's division advanced to, and now occupy
Fall's Church. Neither this nor the preceding
movements met with any opposition whatever,
as the rebel army had on Friday night retired
from the whole line of their positions on the
line of Washington. Upton's Hill, this side of
Fall's Church, is necessarily included among
the points now held back by the Union force.
The works of the enemy at the places they
had evacuated were, in a military view, almost
worthless, being nothing more than rifle pits
of very common construction. The position at
Munson's and Murray's Hill afforded the rebels
an unobstructed view of our fortifications and
other defences. The appearance of the ground
deserted by them indicated that they were de- 1
ficient in those arrangements which serve to
make a camp life comfortable, having no tents,
but merely shelters rudely constructed. There
were no signs to show that they had ever mount
ed any guns. Our troops are now so employed
as to show that they do not merely intend tem
porarily to occupy their present position.
The advance of General Smith on Fall's
Church from the Chain Bridge was accompani
ed by events of the most deplorable character.
Having passed Vanderwerken's and Vander
berg's houses on their way to the tormer place,
and when about a half a mile from it, by some
unaccountable blunder, Colonel Own's Irish
(Philadelphia) regiment, in the darkness of the
night, mistaking for rebels Captain Mott's bat
tery, which was in the advace, sustained by
General Baker's California regiment, Baxter's
Philadelphia Zouaves, and Colonel Friedman's
cavalry, fired a full volley into the troops last
mentioned, killing and wounding a large num
ber. The California regiment, not knowing
whence the firing came, returned it with mark
edleffect. The horses attached to Mott's battery
became unmanageable, and the tongues of the
caissons were broken, owing to the narrowness
of the read.
Lieutenant Bryant, having command of the
first section, ordered the guns to be loaded with
grape and canister, and soon had them in range
to rake the supposed enemy, when word was
sent to him that he was in the company of
friends.
All was excitement, and a long time elapsed
before the actual ecmaiiio... of affairs Wall ascer
tained and confidence re-established.
Many conflicting stories prevail as to the par
ties on whom the blame should rest, but Gen.
Smith immediately ordered Colonel Owen's
regiment to fall back to camp.
The killed were all buried to-day near their
encampments with military honors, while the
wounded were removed to the hospitals in
Georgetown principally, where they are receiv
ing the best attention.
The most probable theory is, from what can
be gathered, the rebels are making feints of
retreat as they did previous to the battle of
Bull Run, with the view of drawing our troops
into ambuscades. This opinion is strengthened
by the repetition of a conversation which a
farmer residing in the neighborhood of Fall's
Church, overheard the day before they evacu
ated that neighborhood.
The encampments of the rebels show that
they had at no time over 10,000 men in front
of Washington and at the points which they
have just evacuated.
As near as can be ascertained the bulk of the
rebel force down the river is at Evansport, a
place laid down on Blunt's map as "Shipping
Point." It is about fifteen miles above Aquia
Creek, between Chapowanisic and Puantico
creeks, and opposite a place called Budd ferry,
on the Maryland side. Shipping Point extends
well into the river, and, if well fortified, will
be a dangerous place for vessels to pass.
LATER.
EXPLANATION OF THE BLONDER
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30
An officer who witnessed the disaster on Sun
day morning attending the advance of our
troops towards Falls Church, states that Barr's
battery of Campbell's Pennsylvania artillery was
immediately in the rear of Mott's battery when
the first firing commenced. The balls coming
from the declivity of a hill and dense woods be
ing on each side of the road they failed in their
purpose, and these batteries escaped injury.
About half an hour afterward another panic
happening, Barr's battery were ordered to fire
on their rear. They had already loaded their
artillery, but being aware that their friends
were in that position, refused to fire. Had they
thoughtlessly obeyed the order the havoc would
certainly been frightful. There is still a mys
tery concerning the first firing on the advancing
column. Many believing that it came from a
body of rebel cavalry.
