BEAD QUARTERS,
) }SURGEON -GENERAL'S OFFICE,
Ilarrisburg, Dec. 14, 1861.
Unfounded rumors of sickness in Camp Cur
tin having been widely circulated. I certify
that the sick now in Camp are only two per
cent of the troops, and that there is nothing of
a serious charactip The general health of this
camp is better than that of camps generally, and
closely watched by surgeons of unboubted
ability. HENRY H. SMITH,
Surgeon-General, Penna.
THE NATIONAL BOSPITALS.
The Committee on. Hospital Supplies, appointed by
the Philadelphia Associates of the United States
Sanitary Commission, have issued an address to
the'people of 'Pennsylvania, to aid them in ac
complishing the work they have undertaken.
The specific duty of this Committee is to pro
cure supplies for the Government Hospitals,
and make such provisions for the comfort of
the gallant men confined in these hospitals, as
it has been found impossible for the govern..
ment to provide. In this respect, much has
already been done by various societies through
out the state, but the demand far outruns the
supply, and to do full justice to the sick and
wounded soldier, it will require a combined ef
fort on a scale to which no approximation has
yet been made, notwithstanding the ample la
bors of generous men and women all over the
country.
There are thousands of women in Pennsyl
vania who h .s as yet not considered the impor
tance of giving their personal attention to this
subject. Woman has her mission in this con
test as well as man. The battle cannot be
fought or the victory: won unless the loyal
women of the land join their efforts to those of
' -- Fl
ceptable to the soldier because e T will re that
the assistance comes from those he loves.
Every village, therefore, should have its So
ciety—and where an organization cannot be ef..
fected, individuals and families can engage in
the work. No time should be wasted upon
mere routine. The winter is upon us. Our
soldiers are suffering. Every woman who can
knit a pair of stockings, or of thumb-and-finger
mittens ; who can buy or beg a blanket ; who
can procure box of farina or arrow-root, or
put up a jar of jelly, should go about it at once.
'lb THE UNIVERSAL IMPATIENCE OF PEOPLE Who
are grumbling because there has been no ad
vance from Washington and are ready to de
spair because the rebellion is not yet put down
:---who say that in eight months we have made
no progress, and therefore shall never put down
the rebellion at this rate—to such it should be
said that since the battle of Bull run there
has been most decided progress made. The in
crease of our force in the field has been without
precedent, while the progress of our men in dis•
cipline and the education of our officers—at
considerable expense of life—has been equally
satisfactory : Instead of a mob we have now an
effective, army in the field of over half a million
of men. They are well armed and equipped,
well supplied with artillery and cavalry and
paid . , and the money provided to meet the war
expenses for some time in advanes. We are
thoroughly ready, and when our armies advance
towards Richmond, Nashville and New Orleans,
they will be able to cope successfully with any
force that can be brought against them, and
may be able to accomplish in a single day what
has taken so many months to prepare for, and
what we have all so impatiently anticipated .
One or two decisive blows will break the back
of the rebellion. When it is done, as we have
faith it will be, all will see not only that the
time spent in preparation was well spent, but
wonder how much could be done in so short a
time. While we at home have been chiding our
rulers for their tardiness, the world has seen
with surprise more than half a million of men
placed in the field, armed, equipped and pre
pared for efficient service in six months. But
this is not all. If need be—if the emergency
requires it, another half million can be raised
in another six months,
WHAT A CONTRAST between the style and tem
per of the Message of President Lincoln and
that of Jefferson Davis The one a dispassion
ate statement of the affairs of the country;
the other a brutal phillipic against the Free
States. The one breathing the spirit of gener
ous statesmanship ; the other breathing wrath
and threatenings against twenty millions of
people. The oae seeking to allay the passions'
of the masses ; the other appealing to all the
baser instincts of human nature. The one
praying that the war might "not degenerate
into a violent and remorseless revolutionary
struggle;" the other fanning the flames of pop
ular fury, by every trick of eloquence and ar
gument. The one speaking with the calm dig
nity of the head of a great Government ; the
other speaking like the chief of a band of
outlaws ! The one addressing the reason and
conscience of a Christian nation ; the other ad.
dressing the ignorence and lusts of the rabble.
1T WORKS GRANDLY.
Ten years ago, men were stoned for uttering
bold or independent language on the subject of
slavery. To be an abolitionist was to attract
the undivided scorn and derision of a whole
community, and to declare that slavery was a
wrong even in the slightest sense of the word,
was to invoke suspicion, distrust and denuncia
tion. • Ten years ago, only a few men in the
free states dared to declare even the semblance
of an opposition to slavery, and while they
were doing this, they were marked men in our
communities, not exactly hunted from rock to
cliffs, or chased from dales to mountains, but
they were actually pursued with a mean, vulgar
persecution, which often rendered the safety of
their person very insecure from mob violence.
Twenty years ago, the right of petition on the
subject of slavery was questioned and denied
in the American Congress. The institution
which consigned men and women, with their
off-spring, to eternal and irrevokable servitude,
brooked no interference, religiously, politically
or socially. It chained all who opposed its
sway to its Jaugernaut car, to be be crushed in
death as it advanced in power and progress.—
The light of petition was opposed until John
Quincy Adams became its champion and defen
der, and only when he had almost exhausted
his energies and his lore, was this right to pe
tition Congress on the subject of African slavery
fairly and substantially established. •
In the years we have alluded to, a mighty
change has come over the disposition and the
impulses of the American people. The right of
petition once established, led the way to dis
cussion and exposure, and by those great levers
with which society and nations are moved, the
development of a healthy and a noble senti
went was achieved, the truth became the day
star of the people, and that which was thus an
tagonized and could no longer withstand an as
sociation with free thought and discussion, has
boldly become the bitter foe of free principles
and institutions. But this is not the greatest
change which is working so proudly in our sys
tem of government. From mere formal discus
sion, conceded by the courtesy of legislative
bodies, the conversation of the masses now
turns in the boldest terms in denunciation of
slavery. Men no longer hesitate to declare
their opposition to the institution. It is no
longer an equivocal question, involving per
sonal danger and loss of reputation—but it is
an open subject, with the plain issue of right
and wrong involved in its statement, between
which even the most timid no longer hesitate
in taking position. The * greatest an,' the
grandest change is that which now sways the
feelings and urges frankness in the expression
of the people. Our society in the north, which
at first regarded abolitionism as a species of po
litical fanaticism, now makes emancipation its
test of safety—its force for success in the present
struggle—its indemnity for the past and secu
rity for the future. Who will not admit that
this is a mighty, a glorious change. Who can
not see in the elements working this change
ovxvuucti .nurupe awing tne tirst momentous
struggle of the Reformation ; or, what is more
familiar to the American people, the samo ge
nius which inspired the fathers of the Revolu
tion, now nerves the people in this war, urging
them now as then, to struggle unto death for
social as well as political liberty.' -
In this manner and by these changes, the
more practical part of emancipation is robbed
of the terrors in which alarmists strive to
clothe it, because by these discussions and the
changes daily occurring in public sentiment,
the nation is becoming familiarized with the
danger involved in a protection of slavery, and
the absolute necessity of either entire emanci
pation, or such restrictions as will deprive the
institution of all political power and moral
force. Its political power as propprty must be
abridged, and while slaves are held and re
garded as such property, their owners should not
be allowed to claim a pro rata representation
for slavery. This is the amendment to the'
Constitution for which the people of the free
states should at once proclaim, as one of the
sure and safe means of neutralizing the slang
ofitsm of the slave holder to the American
Union. And if the amendment succeeds, and
slavery no longer possesses political power, it
will cease to have advocates and defenders in
the south, to become in a very short period as
obnoxious in that region as it is now repugnant
to the free and intelligent masses of the north.
In fact, we begin to believe that before this
war Is ended, the institution of slavery will
be utterly prostrated or the genius which up
, holds and controls the developments of free
institutions will be completely extinguished.
One or the other must triumph in this contest.
Both cannot exist in union on this hemisphere
or in this government. That the victory
will be on the side of freedom, the changes
which now animate and cheer on our pow
erful armies - fully indicate ; so that we need
not fear the result while we have the manliness
to sustain those who are counselling as well as
battling for FREEDOM !
RECRUITING
The business of recruiting is being reduced to
.he purpose only of maintaining the maximum
standard prescribed by law for all the companies
and regiments now in the field, no more com
panies or regiments will be recruited in any of
the states, unless hereafter specially ordered by
the Secretary , of War ; and in order to consoli
date all the regiments now scattered over the
various states, it is prbposed to convey such to
the different lines of operations, where they can
be attached to other skeleton companies and
regiments, and thus bring such as these up to
the maximum standard. It is due to the pub
lic service that every man recruited be placed
in a position as near effectiveness as possible,
because it is not known at what hour an ad
vance or a repulse may become necessary, when,
in order to be victorious, all our forces and
valor may ...be necessary. These are important
considerations, when the subject of ordering for
ward the recruits in camp is under advise
ment and therefore no impediment should
be cast in the way of their immediate
organization. The business of recruiting
throughout the country must progress as long
. as the war continues. While Pennsylvania has
a force in the field, recruits will be needed to
Jennoptuant ti hate. raph, Saturbecv /fternoon, latrembtr 14, 1861.
keep that force up to its standard - strength.
Armies are lessened in number by other influ
ences than those of the dangers on the battle
field. A thousand casualities are impending to
decrease this decrease. Death by disease—death
by accident and confusion inability by sick
ness from exposure or personal neglect, all to
gether combine to lessen the numerical strength
of an army, which can only be maintained by
recruiting. So far as I l ennsylvania, is concerned,
this business of recruiting can only be stimulated
by a battle. Our people are not willing to die
in the lethargy and idleness of camp. Although
they do not propose' to dictate what shall be
the mode and the manner of service to their
country in the hour of its want and peril,
we are certain that if five, or ten or twenty
thousand Pennsylvanians are cut down to-day
while battlingin the. south with traitors, an
equal number can be recruited to-morrow to
take up the arms of those who fell in battle.
We leave the success of recruiting to the
peopleand the officers whereit belongs. There.
fs . llo Mistaking the fact, however, that the
government must move in some manner to
arouse the action of the people on this 'subject
It is all importan&to the general success. It is
equally important in the "raising of an army
that recruiting , for its maintainance in maxi
mum strength be successful and enthusiastic.
THE FALSEHOOD OF HARD TIMES is either de
monstrated in the following paragraph from a
New York cotemporary; or it exhibits the ex
travagance and fully of- the opulent while the
poor and needy are suffering for the common
wants of humanity in the same city
A large house, on the sth avenue, nearly op
posite Dr. Spring's Church, has been recently
sold for $78,000—540,000 beinc , b on bond and
mortgage. The•purchaser was C. $., Russell,
who thus pays nearly $6,000 per year rent for
his family habitation.
DIE REBELS IN KENTUCKY are described as
being in a high state of seediness. In, Camp
Beauregard, where 1,500 Confederates are. sta
tioned, the desertions number three a , day,
while those who remain are shoeless, trowser
less and moneyless. And the commanders
threaten to dishand the raginufilus if the "sin
ews" are not speedily forthcoming.
Some of the Effects of the Rebellion
From tho E.voning Jouraal
If nothing sadder grew out of the wicked and
causeless rebellion of the traitors, the sundering
of family ties and the arraying.of father, against
son, and i son against father; and brother againSt
brother, in itz,wf constitutes enough to furnish
many gloomy pages for our future national his
tory. We gave a few instances by way of illus
tration from only one State. •
The divisions in distinguished Kentucky fa
milies, caused by the recent necessity for the
citizens of that State to choose between loyalty
and treason, are remarkable.
Hon. John J. Crittenden, for example, has a
nephew, (Brigadier General Thomas L. Critten
den) loyal like him Self, now commanding the
important division on the Green river, which
constitutes the right wing of our army in. Ken-
Rk iachAnt csdiRAV--lir
?vatttralt "
So the eldest son of Kentucky's great advo
cate for the Union was recently arrested for
treason, while his brother, Thomas H. Clay, is
stated to have preferred the complaints on
which the arrest was made, and while a
nephew, young Henry Clay, is an Assistant Ad
jutant General-in our army in Kentucky.
Proiniuent among the leaders and organizers
of the Union party in Kentucky has been the
well known George D. Prentice. His son,
Clarence. Prentice, is an officer in the rebel army,
which has threatened that its first work in Louis
ville, atter raking possession of the city, shall
be to hang the father.
Ex-Governor Helm was recently arrested for
treason. His cousin is one of the most reliable
of the Union men now assisting the central col
umn of our army by - their' linoWledge 6f the
country and the people.
The venerable Robert J. Breckinridge but the
other day published a masterly defence of the
Government; and a crushing denunciation of
the traitor leaders of the rebellion. Among
those traitors his scarcely less distinguished
nephew, ex-Vice President John C. Breckin
ridge, has a prominent place as Brigadier gene
ral, and is now at the head of a brigade, with
the :avowed object of subjugating his native
State.
Ex-Gov. Wickliffe has urged the expulsion
from Congress of a colleague charged only with
sympathy with the rebels. His own son, we
are told, is in the rebel army.
And so the ]ist might be extended almost at
pleasure. No sadder illustration could be found
of the 'workings iof civil war.
CHANCES OF MAILRYING. —Some industrious
mathematician has calculated the probabilities
of matrimony at different ages which exhibit
results of rather a startling character. In the
first two quinquennial periods, 20-25 and 25-30,
the probability of a widower marrying in a year,
is nearly three times as great as that of a bache
lor. At 30 it is nearly four times as great, from
30 to 45 it is five times as great, and it increases,
until at 60 the chance of a widower marryinc , in
a year is eleven times as greatas that of a bache
lor. It is a little curious to remark from this
table how confirmed either class becomes in its
condition of life—how little likely, after a few
years, is a bachelor to break through his habits
and a solitary condition ; and, on the other
hand, how readily in proportion does a husband
contract a second marriage who has been prema
tun ly deprived of his first wife. After the age
of 30 the probability of a bachelor marrying in
a year diminishes in a most rapid ratio. The
probability at 35 is not much more than half
that of 30, and nearly the same proportion ex
ists between each quinquennial period after
wards.
A REBEL ARRESTED BY Two YOUNG LADLES.—
The Cyuthiana (Ky.) correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Commercial says that the daughter and
neice of Colonel El—, concluded, recently,
they would have a little fun, and to carry out
their plan, dressed themselves in men's ap
parel, procured an old shot gun,' and proceeded
to the field where the Colonel was at work.
Oae of the girls, shot gun in hand, took her
position a few paces off, while the other stepped
up and laid her hand on him, and said : By
the authority and in the name of the United
States Army, I arrest you as guilty of treason."
The Colonel submitted Without resistance, but
said : "Gentlemen, in the name of God, what
have I done ?" The reply was, that he would
learn that, and have all things satisfactorily ex
plained at Camp Chase, which caused the Col
onel to turn very white ; and they all walked
to the house, where the children were all posted
in the matter, and . got into a titter, . which
caused a loud burst of laughter from all hands
except the Colonel, who was very belligerent
when he found that he had actually been ar
rested by two small young ladies, his daughter
and neice.

Western Virginia Cleared of Rebels
I=l
A special dispatch from Cheat Mountain to
the Commercial says that yesterday one of the
hardest and best fought battles of the war was
fought at Allegheny camp, Pocohontas county,
Western Virginia. .
Gen. R H. Milroy commanded the Union
troops and Gen. Johnson, of Georgia, com
manded the rebels.
The fight lasted from daylight till 3 o'clock
P. M.
The Union loss is about thirty and the rebel
loss over two hundred, including a Major and
many other officers. Thirty prisoners were cap
tured.
General Johnson, of Georgia, was shot in the
mouth, but not fatally injured.
The Twelfth Georgia regiment suffered most
severely.
Gen. Milroy's force numbered 750 men, from
the Ninth and Thirteenth Indiana, the Twenty
fifth and Thirty:second Ohio and the Second
Virginia regiment. Gen Johnson's forces num
bered over 2000.
The Ninth Indiana fought bravely to the last.
After driving the enemy into their barracks no
less than five times, our forces retired in good
order.
The rebels set fire to their barracks and re
tired to Staunton.
Gent Milroy has thus driven the last of the
rebel army out of Western Virginia.
