PRE PENNSYLTANIANS'IN77IE FIELD.
We pffirlished, tiOnie tithe dhce, a list of the
regiments from this state, with their location,
whickwonde*ned totes : useckesrtt telerem*
until the operations of the grand army would
change ththr localities„ and. scatter these - regi
ments to scenes of more active. and positive du
ty. All; of these .regiments have been noticed,
more l or lea by the press throughoutrthe state,
until the people of • Pennsylvania are now per- 1
feetly 'Stainer with the minter of trot* there
are in the field from this commonwealth, and,
the officers who command them. But there ie
one other fact connected with-these men, which
goes (ether in exhalting the honor sad Jame of
the keystOne state, than the immense feree we
have iv the service,or the lavish-liberality with
which the antboritiedhaVe pqiiipped andarmed
these Yolunteers. What dillies the obseivet of
the camps along ; the Potomac, and , what has
most berincornmented on by correspondents and
&oldie% is the „morals and discipline of ; , our,
troops, To- mention these fact:: now, is not 'to'
indulge in egotism, or lo claim for. Mr troops
more than their share of merit or of commth4-
tion, becanse in dning so we only repeat what
has been printed tin elmost every leadiugljeur-/
ml in ilitifooin i try, with: regard t&the nuntof
Pennsyhania. ,Til,iten we now wstte t h Sheffe,
men lain it lllidilitliteif'disitelltle, we &mit'
their dev otion - to the cause in the simple fact
that without +entimthmit and Seal, no body of
men in so Mort
,a •4me, could have agrived •at
each admirable efficiency, in,which the success
of our cause and the confidence of mit . comman
ders ate botOo cheeringly. pstablithed.
One of the Most persistent iterations - of the
leaders in tbls rebellion; tong before it ''wet de
veloped, egging the people of the north, related,
to their militery,quitlities. Northern men were
held in Contempt because they were presumed
and charged to he deficient in Military attain,
meths, thernattiaLspirit of the land dwelt only
among, the obitoalry of the south. ‘. Inspiration
to arms thlded only . with. those who lived in
ease i i k,k.b. 4 4.6.3 oC. wielded '.POwer as slave
drivers,,:the pursuits:otthe people, of• the north
did not tend to the cultivation of courage or
the defelothent'd prowess, and because they,
p . ;
despik:kthe d'aello, th e passionate street en
counter, and shrunk , from blood with the horror
of Christian men, the people of the north were
all ootvards7 unable to support or vindicate any
cause,or principle in a contest of arms, Such
was thenpinion of the leaders Of this rebellion,
gad on the forcercif this conviction - they Meted
their,heppe of 8111X288 . 'They secured almost n
unanimous voloautosg- 'the masses of the south
to lallao because they. deemed-.the , very.-threat
to rebel tantamount- to , triumph: they'
. i• &m
-oldered the "array of an army the accomplish
ment,of th4purpose, &maw, forsooth, thiptople
of thtsarth:two all cowards! , • . • . • •
Our- - military organisation' has proved the
fallact . erid raid falsehood of these accusations,;
and *s.„.factiairly established in the =lade of
the pewit of the south, is equal to the achieve
ment of a great victory. Cowards are not so
prompt to ergathie for battle. If themen of Penn' r
sylvanite, had not been imbued with the old spirit
which still-lingers around Valley Forge and has
its votaries among the yeomen of Paoli, instead of
numbering a hundred thousand in the field, our
force would have tpen more insignificant than
that which once marched up hill and down in'
France, or lost its courage among the marshes
of Flanders. But not only have we courage and
devotion,hut discipline and valor distinguish
the men - from - all the loyal states. This Is a
fact as gloriodi as is the bkot of Pennsylvanian's
prominence in peace as' well :silver. It is 't

WHO SHOULD PAY THE WAR DEBT,
War has always been an expense for those who
wage and those Who resist it, and in every case
the end sought by its influence, is accompanied
w ith 80 many ills that the good which was at

evils entailed. In every vase, die wapi of the
