Etiegrapt. OUR PLATFORM IRE UNION—THE CONte aTuTION—AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW. HARRISBURG, PA. Monday Afternoon, October 14,1861. THE STRENGTH OF THE GOVERNMENT -OPINION OF HRNRY CLAY. Those who are whining about the tyranny and oppression of our General Government, in waging earnest war against the rebellious states would do well to remember the language of the most renowned and patriotic American states men of former days. On the floor of the United States Senate, in July, 1860, the following words were uttered by Henry Clay : "Now, Mr. President, I stand here in my place, meaning to be nnawed by any threats, whether they come from individuals or from states. But, after all that has occurred, if any one state, or a portion of the people of any state, choose to place themselves in military array against the Government of the Union, I am for trying the strength of the Government. [Applause in the galleries ] I am for ascertaining whether we have a gov ernment or not, practical, efficient capable of maintaining its authority and upholding the powers and iaterestsiwbich belong to the govern ment. Nor, sir, am Ito be allayed or dissuad ed from any such course by intimations of the spilling of blood. If blood must be spilt, by whose fault will it be ? Upon the supposition, I maintain it, it will be the fault of those who take the standard of disunion, and endeavor to prostrate this government, and sir, when this is done, so long as it pleases God to give me a voice to express my sentiments, and an arm— week and enfeebled as it may be by age—that voice and that arm will be on the side of my country, for the support of the general authori ty, and for the maintainance of the powers of this Union." [Applause in the galleries.] This is a full and perfect endorsement of all that has been, or is proposed, in the present war. How it puts to shame the timid or traitor ous ones who now, in the midst of just such a war, and for the same exalted purposes, raise the unpatriotic cry of "peace and compromise!" Or must we think that these men are more humane and patriotic than Henry Clay ! He was willing to fight for his country in such a war, and of the responsibility for the war and all its evils, he says " I maintain it will be the fault of those who raise the standard of disunion, and endeavor to prostrate this gov ernment." Nearly a year later, in answer to the inquiries of a friend, in a letter, dated "Ashland, May 17,1851," he writes: You ask me what is to be done if South Car olina secedes? I answer unhesitatingly, that the Constitution and laws of the United States must continue to be enforced there, with all the power of the United States, if necessary. Se cession is treason, and if it were not—if it were a rightful exercise of power, it would be a vir tual dissolution of the Union. For if one State can secede, every State may secede, and how long, in such a state of things, could we be kept together ? Suppose Kentucky were to secede. Could the rest of the Union tolerate a foreign power within their very bosom? There are those who think the Union must be preserved by an exclusive reliance upon love and reason. This is not my opinion. 1 have some confidence in his instrumentality; but, depend upon it that no human government can exist without the power of applying force, and the actual ap plication of it in extreme cases. My belief is, that if it should be applied to South Carolina, in the event of her secession, she would be speedily minced to obedience, and that the Union, instead of being weakened, would ac quire additional strength." So may it be ! And so it will be, if the citi zens of the United States continue to manifest a tithe of the patriotism and the , manliness of Henry Olay. Tam LAIICASZIER EVENING Expasss contained an announcement, last week, of the death of John L. Seller, who was well known to the craft and editorial fraternity of this state, as a man of rare ability and the most varied accomplish ments. He combined in his character the pow ers of a painter, poet, printer and navigator, in the pursuit of any of which professions he might have won a large and lasting reputation, but in the cultivation of all of which he seemed content with the achievement of results tending to the development of the useful and the beau tiful, satisfied to leave the credit and the emolinnent to others , so that he was left to the undisturbed contemplation of .his own victories with his pen and pew:ll,in poetry and in painting, and this is the disposition of genius, when it is animated by a heart as manly and as unselfish as that which went down into the grave with the cope of John L. Hefter. The death of Mr. Keifer occurred on board the U. S. steamer Pu laski, at Hontevidio, South America, on the 4th of August last. He was acting as Captain's clerk, a responsible arld respectable position in the navy. There are those among our readers in this city, who well remember John L. Keifer as they read this paragraph, and those, too, who will pause in fifes business to pay his memory the tribute of a sigh ; while the writer of this paragraes •would be false to the truth of friend ship,. if ha failed to remember him kindly and gratefully as a craftsman and a friend. A COSILY linsamos To SLessnomuns.—A. Leavenworth paper says it has information to the effect that onehundredslaves leave Missouri every day for Kansas. At this rate, should this rebellicit hold on for a year or so, it will need no tinitMcipation proclamation to Make Missouri a free State. In fact, Iter "manifest destiny" is alreedt dearly fondue:lowed.

N Ili The order regulating the business of ment provides as follows for its safe transmission and appropriation as designed by the soldier thus surrendering a portion or the whole of his pay for a specifiel object : "The assignment of pay will be made on a separate roll, similar to the annexed form, to be executed under the supervision of the captain or immediate commander of the recruit at the time of enlistment, or of the soldier in camp. When completed, the allotment roll is to be transmitted to the Paymaster General, by whom the deductions will be made on each sub sequent pay roll, and the aggregate amount of each company's assignment will be transmitted by him to the distributer named in the roll, to gether with a copy of said roll. "Per ordef, L. Tomes, Adj. General. The wisdom which devised this plan otlaf fording the soldier an opportunity to exercise that care for his family which no degree or con dition of a man can justify him in neglecting, must be seconded by the volunteer before it can become a success. :Of this we have no doubt—in fact, the plan is already in operation, and much good has been the result. We can not too highly applaud the judgment and fore thought of the Secretary of War, to whose credit the allotment system in the army is to be credited, and under whose untiring vigi lance and energy it will become a messenger of joy to more than one family, deprived by this wicked rebellion, of its guardian and parent, absent in the struggle for its suppression and overthrow., TILE VOTING IN CAMPS. From all accounts, the voting in the various camps in the vicinity of Washington, by the Pennsylvania Volunteers, was not of the most improved or intelligent character. The Wash ington correspondent of the North American de scribes it as having been most loosely conduct ed, and very few of the.votes, ,no matter how honest the intentions of the voters, were legiti mately cast. The volunteers, as a general thing, having their daily duties to perform, and in hourly expectation of receiving marching orders, cared very little who was or who was not elected in Philadelphia. The few cunning and designing ones took advantage of this apa thy, and returns were made out as best suited particular purposes. If the result of the elect ion depends upon the volunteer vote, it will not honestly express the wishes of the people of Philadelphia, and the returns, when they are opened in November next, will show this to be the case. In some of the companies the returns are merely bummed up, for instance, Doe 79 Roe 2—no tickets being used. In fact, in some of the regiments the voting was not concluded until yesterday afternoon, and no returns will be had from some of the companies who are out on picket duty for a week. No stringent quail ;freedom being required, a number of votes were polled for the Philadelphia candidates by per sons who. had never been in that city. With rare exceptions, the elections in the camps was a farce and not a free expression of the will of the people... JESSE KENNEDY: The official returns from the Cumberland and Perry representative district, gives the gratify ing result of the election of Jesse Kennedy to the lower house of the Legislature, by a ma jority of one hundred and fifty-one, exclusive of the army vote, which will increase this majority very largely. Mr. Kennedy is one of the prac tical men of his vicinity, and combines in his character' the qualifications of integrity and in depence essential to the success of a useful rep resentative. We congratulate the people of the Cumberland district on this election, as well for their political success as on the credit they will derive from the representation of Mr. Kennedy in the next session of the Legislature. THE PRIMYLVANIAR PouncrAss in Washing ton city, who, according to the Press, have been discussing the proposition to make John Cessna Speaker of our legislative House of Representa tives, would have done well before they entered on their discussion to have ascertained whether John was , elected or not, as an essential point in the Probability, of his Speakership. They can now trim from their discussion to the con templation of the defeat of one of the most dangerous and corrupt politicians in the state, by which defeat, too,' Pennsylvania has escaped an indescribable amount of disgrace and shame.

The following legal decisions of Hon. John J. Pearson, are deemed of sufficient importance to be published for the benefit of the community at large. It will be observed that they are dis tinghished for the legal acumen and impartial ity which have made Judge Pearson so eminent and successful on the bench. The common wealth obtained judgments in three several cases against the sureties of a defaulting public officer. The defendants all resided in Lycorning county, and writs of fieri facial were directed in each case to the sheriff of that county, who made a return that they were stayed by the order of C. D. Eldred, an Associate Judge of that county, on the ground that the defendants were entitled to a stay of execution, pursuant to the act of the 21st of May, 1861; they having suf ficient freeholds within the county to satisfy debt, interest, costs, &c. Mr. Meredith, Attorney General, moved for an attachment against the Sheriff for failing to execute his writ according to law, and making an insufficient return thereto. Mr. Rawn, as attorney for the defendants, in the execution and in behalf of the Sheriff, opposed the mo• tion. The suite in these cases were commenced and judgments obtained pursuant to the 12th Sect. of the act of 16th April, 1846, relative to de faulting public officers, and its various supple ment& On the judgments entered in Dauphin county writs of fieri facias and venditioni exponis can be issued to any county of the common wealth, and to more than one at the same time, if deemed necessary, and the Sheriff of the county to which they are sent is to execute and make return thereof, as is required in cases of testatwn writs. That is, he must have" the writs entered, make his levy, and return it by mail to this county. In case of a sale on a writ of v'enditioni exponis, the deed must be acknowledged as required on writs of testatian. For every pur pose the judgment remains in this county, and the execution process is in the form of an origi nal, not a testa:Win writ. This court alone has jurisdiction over the process, which extends to every part of the State, the judgment itself need not be, and is not entered elsewhere. The first section of the act of 21st of May, 1861, gives jurisdiction to the Court in winch the judg ment is entered, or a judge thereof in vacation, to order a stay of execution for one [year from the 21st of May, 1861, o judgments previously entered, or for one year on those obtained sub sequently, provided the defendant is the owner of real estate in the county in which the same is entered, or to which it has been transferred, worth sufficient to pay and satisfy the debt over and above other incumbranom, and the amount exempt by law from execution. When a judg ment is transferred to another county than that in which it was originally obtained the execu tion issues directly from the judgment so en tered, and it is treated for almost every purpose as a judgment of that Court ; of course, the stay of execution would be there ordered. The judge of a distant county has no authority over testation writs sent to the sheriff thereof, but if there is error or irregularity in the writ, or judgment on which it is issued, application must be made to the Court or a judge of the county in which the judgment was entered to correct or control the process. There is even less plausibility in the Court or a judge in a distant county attempting to control original writs issued on judgments entered in this Court, than in cases of testation writs : the whole pro cess is under the control of this Court or the judges thereof, for every purpose. The judge in Lycoming county had no jurisdiction or power to order a stay of execution which must be done by those having jurisdiction over the judgment, and his order to the sheriff was a mere nullity. That officer might as well at tempt to shelter himself under a decree of the town constable of Williamsport as under that of the judge of Lycoming county. He should have treated the order as a nullity and paid no attention to it, but have executed his writ until stayed by a judge or the Court of this county. For failing to do this, and making an illegal re turn, he is in contempt, and an attachment must be awarded against him to be directed to the coroner of Lycoming county, returnabld to next term. Jiro. J. Pautson, Pres' t Judge. 0303 ..-1 r -1 40 g 4t a> al b 0 ~.. ' di 12,. ?ti t ' 6 ci) 12 Xi ,9 Ei ~2 allot- On this decision being made, Mr. Rawn for the defendants moved for a rule to show cause why a stay of execution should not be ordered by this court under the act of the 21st of May 1861, which was opposed by Mr. Meredith, Attorney General, on the ground that the Com monwealth was not embraced by the act of As sembly. After consideration the following opinion was delivered by Pearson, President Judge : The act of Assembly is loud and gen eral in its expressions. It says "that 'upon all judgments now remaining unsatisfied, &c.," and the question is, does the stay apply to judg ments entered in favor of the State, while it has obtained an amount of money coming to itself in its sovereign capacity? The words embrace these judgments, but awarding to the estab lished rules for interpreting statutes should they be applied to those held by the sovereign which here is the State of Pennsylvania? It is laid down as a rudimental principle of the likt glish law that "the king shall not be restrained of a liberty or right he had before by the gen eral words of an act of Parliament, if the king be not named in the act."—Duavies on the statutes 623. Again, when the king has any prerogative, estate, right, title or interest, that by the general words of an act of Parliament he shall not be barred of them.—ldem p 524. There are some exceptions to them general rules, but they are for purposes and objects not within our present inquiry. The general prin ciple of immunity from the operation of statutes when not expressly named, or clearly embraced by implication from the nature and objects of the law, has been claimed by the soverei States of this Union and by none more so than our own. It was held in Johnson v. - Irvine, 3 S. & B 292, and Bogly v. Wallace 16 S. &B. 246, that the State is not embraced in the stat ute of limitations. Such is also the doctrine of several other cases in our books. In the Com monwealth v. Hutchisim, 10 Barr 466, it is de cided that the State is not effected by a dis charge of her debtor under a general bankrupt law of the United States, and the reason is given that being a sovereign State, like the king, it is not bound unless named. The United States and the several States were not named in the bankrupt law, and are therefore not bound by it, although the expressions as to the discharge of, the bankrupt from liability are quite as loud and general as those of ,the act under consideration. It is said in the State vs. Garland 7 Iredel, North Carolina rep. 48 that general statutes do not bind the sovereign unless expressly named.. in them. In the State of Maryland it is de cided "as a general vile in the interpretation of legislative acts they will not be construed to embrace the sovereign power of government unless the State is expressly named, or is in tended by necessary implication."—The State vs. Milburn. 9 Gill. 105. Such is the doctrine of the courts of Illinois. 4 Gilm. 20; also of Mississippi. 28 Miss. rep. 169. It is decided in the United States vs. Thomas. Crabby 207. "General words in a statute do not include or bind the United States as a sovereign power. It is bound only by expreFs terms "or necessary We thus perceive that the 'immunity of the sovereign from the binding effect ofits *A, ' laws, when not named there Is , ;Alf LEGAL DECISIQNS. BY THE COURT tied in this country asin England, and although we might consider it more consonant with jus tice for the legislature to tie lip the hands of the State from the collection of its debts than those of private individuals, as they are the di rect -representatives of the one, and have no right to interfere with the contracts of the others, yet we are constrained to say that not being named, nor refered to, in the act of as sembly, the State process cannot be stayed in its effect, and its debtor cannot demand an ar rest of execution. The motion for a stay of execution is refused and the rules dismissed. JOHN J. PEARSON BY TOUR THE STEAMER RICHMOND.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 13. Yesterday afternoon, at a point 14 miles south of Gen. Rosencrans' advance, and 8 miles from the rebel encampment on Green river, a detachment of 40 men of the 89th Indiana re giment attacked 800 rebels, half of which were cavalry, without loss, killing five and wounding three. The whole rebel force was driven back beyond Bacon creek. From Fortress Monroe. FORTRESS MONROE, OCT... 18 Twelve members of the Eleventh New York Zouaves, were taken prisoners by the rebels yesterday when a short distance above Newport News. • Lieut.

The Evening News learns, upon unquestionable authority, that Breckinridge, Preston, Johnson, Desha, Williams, Haws, Moore and other seces sion notables, are organizing a large rebel camp at Prestonburg, Floyd county. It says they have a force of 6,000 or 7,000 man now there, and are drilling them eight hours per , day, and that they are alarming the mountaineers by circulating incredible stories as to the inten tions of the government. The News asks the government to place promptly the requisite force in the mountains around which the Union forces may rally. A Reception. A correspondent of the .Thnes, writing from Jefferson City, under date of Oct. 2d, says : The only event of importance yesterday was the arrival of Mrs. Fremont. She was received at . the depot by Gen. Fremont and his body guard and a regiment of infantry, placed in the General's four-horse carriage, and thus at tended, accompanied by a band of music, was, after going through the main street, taken to `the General's headquarters in camp. This was .a pretty compliment to the fascinating and able lady of our ral—one rarely if ever extended in this democratic country to ladies of any degree, and hence so much the more re markable, and the more highly to be prized. At night there were torch-light evolutions and much melodious jubilation by-brass bands in and around the camp-all in honor of the arri val of Mrs. Fremont, testifying at once the supreme respect in which that lady is held, and the high and chivalrous gallantry of the Amer ican soldier towards the gentler sex. It will, to the honest and philosophic mind, be a sub ject of sincere gratulation, that, although in *the midst of the enemy's country, with tens of thousands of foes menacing us on every side, and surrounded by all the stem inflexibilities of war, we do not forget the respect due to the ;sex of which our mothers and aunts were con stituents: Tun COW-BELL Donal.—The rebels have re sorted to an ingenious way of luring our men into their snares. it is known as the "cow-bell dodge," and it,was very successful for a time, especially with newly arrived regiments and companies whiCh were placed on picket for the first time. Approaching within thirty or forty rods of our outposts and concealing themselves in the woods, they commence the irregular tinkle of a cow-bell. The uninitiated picket, not suspecting the ruse, and not yet reconciled to drinking his coffee without milk, goes out to obtain a supply from the supposed cow of some Virginia rebel, flattering himself that he has got a " big thing on Seceah." Not until he finds himself surrounded by a -half-dozen or so armed rebeli dees he learn his mistake. In Richmond, are nearly a dozen of our soldiers who are probably now regretting their ready credu lity and appetite for milk. Altair CHAPLAINS. —At the solicitation of the Army Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association of Philadelphia, the War Depart ment has issued an order for the discharge of "any person who has been mnsteredinto service as a chaplain who is not a regularly ordained clergyman of a Christian denomination, without pay or allowance," and requiring that every one Mustered in hereafter must be certified to be a regularly-ordained clergyman as above stated. The object of this is to rid the army of immoral and unworthy chaplains. BAD Place POD. A Ssossuse.—A. "good one" is told of , a Quaker volunteer who was in a Vir ginia skinnish.
