Ph& nsBof the great Union victory in Ten

and gratitude among the people of the state
capital last week, as the precursor of those tri
umphs which:are to complete the' speedy and
ultiMate end of the rebellion. Fort Henry, the
impdrtant rebel furtific4inn captured by our
forces op Thunklay last, in situated on the - emit
bank of the Tennessee river, near the Kentucky
line, abont fifty-five miles from Paducah. It
commands a straight stretch of two
Fort Henry is a stock constructed recently, a
few miles above Paris Landing, rn the T , nnes
see. It is on the east bank of that river, and
on the other side le a concealed battery. • The
armament of •Fort Henry consisted of two 64-
pounder guns, one 82-pounder (breech loading),
a rifled 24-pounder, and another not rifled,
three 6- i ptinders, and two 12-pound howitzers,
in all ten,guns. .The defences of a few neigh
boring works on the opposite side of the stream
and above'the fort, have not been definitely
stated. L.
The ilniportsnce of this victory can be esti

results a ll

nessee, and also secure- to the Union men in
that 'legion an 'eligNe point from which to
advaime t further into Tennessee. It enables us
to thressten both Bowling Greta and Columbus
on the flank, while at the. same time, the Ten
nesse!, river old megun-boats will enable us to
keep uP!safe,aud easy oommunio,t lion with the
operations at Paducah.
WIWI?* adVantages in our possession, the
way is open tor the gunboats and the army to
advance victoriously Into. the interior of Ten
nessee, and'reicue the Union men in that direc
tion from the,i,rall of trea.ou. This victory
looks like serious work. It has more,the ap
pearanwof beingin earnest than any other of

WHO: COMMANDS • TEE CAMP
We: hive ,leard this question asked many
times within, the last few months. We lave
received, also, -within• the last few weeks, a
number of bommunlcettons on the same sub
and thess;added to our daily observations,
dace us to repeat the inquiry, Who corn
mande the volunteer encampments in this
vicinity P "There 'is something wrong, some
thing, rntilcally, outrageously and heniously
wrong, or. the scenes presented in the streets of
Harrisburg would not be permitted to be
repeated from day to day, to the grief of the
moral, the, terror of the virtuous and the
disgrace of the honor and position of an Amer
ican soldier. From drunkenne4, violent,
fearful and deinbniac drunkenness, the passions
of the soldiers are permitted to run riot in nudi
ty, sensual appeal and imprecations that terrify
the young, alarm the innocent, and must soon
er or rater provoke the indignant resistance of
the people, if.ttle Governor, the commander of
Camp Curtin, 'Or some Other influence is not
invoked to, abate the nuisance The Conduct
and beetrink,of the soldiets to whom we allude

scene of 'the Most filthy exhibition. It has filled
our streets ' witb Influences which tend to the
corruption.. of the young and the insult
and abasement of the old—it has become
an enormity and a crime of the most
unendurnble magnitude, and in the name of
all that is decent and decorous we appeal to
those who have•thepoWer to apply the correc
tive at once and abate . the nuisance. If the
commander of the camp cannot control the
men in his charge, remove him and place
anothef.in , ituthority. We see no such conduct
on the tiarcoethe regulars, as they come into
and pass out of -the city. We do not behold
the soldiers from Camp Grebble lining our side
walks at night and. obstructing them during
tie day. The evil is alont with the volunteer,
and therefere the greater disgrace ; and the
extent which it has reached, renders either
action on the part of those in authority abso
lutely necessary for its immediate suppression,
or the people will be compelled to protect their
families and the'mselves from its future repeti
tion. Drunkenness, obscenity and profanity
justify any memo, however rigorous, for their
suppression; and when they are repealed in
our midst by those who a r e clothed in the hon
orable and uniforms of loyal soldiers,
loyalty itself is outraged, and every considera
tion of public virtue, manhood and personal
pride, call for a remedy and defence against the
wrong thus inftioted on the community, at large.

THE PROBLEM OF THE WAR
When John Sherman, the United States Seu.
ator from Ohio and one of the very ablest ml n
in the country, declared in the Senate Chamber,
a day or two since, that the problem of this
war was not physical, but financial, he uttered
a great truth. Science has pot an end to phy
sical excellence in the matter of man's war
fare. Brute force is no longer essential to
success, and therefore the , Ohio Senator has
well declared that the problem of the war is
financial and not physical. The physical
strength has been contributed—it is marshaled
in the field, disciplined and ready for the en
counter. There is no mistaking this feature
in the operations of the war. It is before the
people in an army of six hundred thousand
valiant and intelligent men, imbued with that
love of country which quails before no enemy,
er falters at no obstacle in the way of their de-
Notion to this government. But the financial
problem is now the main obstruction to that
success,, which the physical influence, operating
against rebellion, would soon achieve. We do
not understand the importance and magnitude
of • the ananoial responsibilities of the crisis.
Millions have been expended, millions more
borrowed and to these we are daily adding an
indebtedness of other millions. We are strain
ing our credit, while the resources of the country
are permitted to languish. We are advancing in
the efficiency of the manual and the vigor
of camp discipline, without the result of a bat
tle or the benefit of a victory. All these fea
tures are exhaustive, crippling and . demorali-,
zing—to be followed some day by the dreadful
discove.y that we have not only lost the oppor
tunities of success, but that we have lost credit
—lost the right to tax and the power to collect
our:revenues. We will be aroused •with this
prOblem unsolved and increased in mathemati
cal obscurity, to find our rebel foes recognized
by the potentates of Europe—our blockade
broken by the navies of the world—our armies
disheartened and demoralized, and at last our
national glory if not existence made the mockery
of 'our inferiors, and dependent on the will of
every petty tyrant in the world.
Let Congress solve the financial problem
. by
the enactment of a wise, impartial and ade
quate tax law. Let them economise in the
civil branoh to eaglet in meeting the exigencies
and demands of the military force. Let the
government go into the market for its money
as individuals are compelled to do, protected
by the usury laws—and this financial problem
may possibly be solved. But if it remains un
solved as a subject of contention in Congress,
from its confudion and embarrassment we may
date the final downfall of the Eepublic of the
West I
RECONSTRUCTION ON THE OLD BASIS
There is evidently an effort' being made
among that class of Democrats in the north
who have always blindly followed the lead of
the slave-ocracy, and the political minions of
that slave-power, looking to a reconstruction.
The northern Democracy who supported Breck
iuridge, or at least the leaders of that Democ
racy, are anxious again to obtain power.
These mat have heretofore, only existed as an oppor
tunity oferell to rob. the nation. The condition
of the country and. the difference= as in ad
ministrations; have beggared and starved
these old political hacks to a degree approach
ing the desperate necessity of either at once
effecting some settlement of the national diffi
culties by a reconstruction of the Union on the
old basis, with slavery in the ascendant and
the Democratic party in powar, or at once ac
knowledging the rebel government. These
old plunderers desire peace, because they want
power. They beseiged every department of
the government for contracts, and when they
failed, they started the cry of corruption, and
now, like disappointed pickpockets, hail every
man; as a thief who happens
.to be in the
employ of the government.
In anticipation of the cry of reconstruction
by the parties alluded to, our readers should
ask themselves the question, whether this, re
construction and settlement would absolve all
the traitors ? Would peace purify Jeff Davis,
enfranchise Beauregard, and tender the im
maculate Breckenridge once more the pet of
the northern dough-faces? Would the Patriot
support Breckenridge or Davis for the Presi
dency, in the event of reconstruction, if either
of them were nominated by the Democracy ?
Would Cessna take Jesse D. Bright to hisbosom
and his confidence, as colleagues in the United
States Senate ? Would the after vacancies on
the Supreme Bench be filled by the leading.
traitors? Or would reconstruction insist on
the punishment of these assassins and traitors,
and thus, after , the law was vindicated,
,estab
lish both the nitional union and the federal
authority on a sound basis ? These are perti
nent questions as the dough-faces agitate 'the
subject of reconstruction.
NEW SCHOOL BOOK.
T. B. Lippencott & Co., of Philadelphia have
lately published a Primary Geography, by For
A. Allen, which a careful examination ena
bles us to pronounce a most admirable initial
to the study of geography. It is purely a study
oClocalization, and the principal adopted by this
system is to mention no animal or plant, until
both can be done geographically. And by a
series of simple and graphic illustrations thie
geography fixes these localities so indelibly in
the mind, that they are retained until a know
ledge of the same localities can be enlarged by
more mature studies.
The book and its system is certainly deserv
ing of the attention and application of the
school boards of this district. It can be pur
chased at Bergner's book store.
THE EFFORTS OF rum STATR AUTHORITIES to
prevent the enlistment of men in this Com
inonwealth, to serve as the recruits of other
states, are being rigorously seconded by the
mayor and police of Philadelphia. On Thurs-
day last a man named Nichols was arrested for
violatingthe law on this subject, in procuring
recruits to fill up the "Home Guard of Mary
land," while he. is also charged with having
enticed minors to enter the service under the
false pretence of receiving $lOO bounty. Nich

THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERS PLOTTING
FOR POWER.
Whatever can be said of the Democratic
masses, both for and against their devotion to
partizan organizations, we have never hesitated
to acknowledge the attachment with which
not only such masses but the masses of all
parties and political organizations, have adher
ed to the American Union. This acquiescence
on this subject, by the masses of the people, is
easily accounted for, when the fact is remem
bered that the intercourse between the people
of different organizations is greater than is had
between such organizations and their leaders,
and more particularly between the leaders of
the Democratic party and the Democratic
masses. The leaders of the Democratic party
split on the principle of fealty to the Union.
On the question of loyalty to the Union, there
never was such an acquiescence in the Demo
cratic partyas its leaders professed to entertain,
and as late as the administration of James Bu
chanan, the country beheld this difference
displayed in Congress and considered in the
cabinet, a difference which led to the erdinina
tion of iebelllob, because it refimedle interpose
the autherity vested in Democratic heads, to
put an end to treason while it was yet in an
incipient state. When James Buchman denied
the power of the Executive to prevent a state
from &Needing from the Union, he was obeying
the advice of his dongh-face counsellors of the
north, who failing to see in the first, steps of
the present rebellion any evidence of its ever
arriving, at the : extent which it has now reach
ed, hoped to conciliate their southern partizans
by thus denying a power, the possession and
existence of which necessarily placed his
administration in a position of antago
nisei to rebellion. As the conservator
and administrator of the law, he was bound
to visit its penalties on those guilty of its
violation ; but plotting then for party purposes
h. was willing to risk the securities of the na
tional Union in an uncertain pursuit of politi
cal power. The plots and the machinations of the
Buchanan administration afforded the traitors time to
consolidate their forces us rebellion. The discussion
in Congress during the last days of that most
infamous administrator, was designed express
ly to further such ends. Southern Democrats
joined to northern dough-faces were prolific
in arguments, not so much against the evils of
accession as against the right to coerce a state
into the Union. It was then a regularly un
derstood plan either to intimidate and force the
people of the north from their position—to
compel a constitutional majority of the people
of the Union to forego their privileges in the
preferences of a President. When this failed—
when the traitors discovered that every consti
tutional right was bound to be maintained, they
openly proclaimed their power to violate as
they had been for years preparing for the vio
lation of the Constitution.
True to the instincts of the men who ruled
James Buchanan, and no doubt actually acting
in sympathy with those who are carrying out
the plans matured during the Buchanan ad
ministration, we find this same class of Demo
cratic leaders now engaged in open and secret
efforts to prevent the enforcement of the law,
and to embarrass the operations of the federal
administration against the traitors of the
south. These leaders of the Democratic
party essay the experiment of one expo
dieut after another to shield treason, and
are prolific in excuses and arguments when
ever any measure is proposed to quell
the rebellion by vigorous and active mili
tary measures. The old cry of abolitionism
and emancipation is the signal and the secret
of their organization. They make such a cry
to attract the attention of the people from
their secret plane to obtain power ; while they
hesitate to discuss the corruptions or the evils
of slavery, with the wrongs which it has en
tailed on the country, fearful that it would
teed to the enlightenment of the masses they
hope to rally to an organization once more of
the Democratic party. The people who have
been watching these operations are not as ig
norant of their intentions as these same Demo
cratic leaders imagine. They are not as indif
ferent to the influence of slavery in this contest
as the Democratic leaders at the north have as
sured their traitor allies at the south, so that
in disregard of their plots and in contempt for
their arguments, the masses of the Democratic
party ere true to the Constitution and Union,
while Democratie leaders and legislators would
make both subservient to their partizan ends
and desires. On this subject of political power,
the Democratic leaders are ready to sacrifice
any right of the nation—any hope of the peo
ple—and any authority of the law. With
•them it is a contest for power, and not for na
tional existence. They are prepared to antag
onize the free labor sentiment of the north if
they can conciliate the slavery influence of the
south, knowing that the latter, like wrong
under every influence, never changes—while the
former, progressive and developing, is ever
changing from good to excellence, and cannot
be controlled by any of the influences at the
command of modern Democracy.
Local Legislation of a Most Iniqi-
tioua Character.
Mr. EDITOR : A bill has been passed through
the Senate and no doubt is intended to be hur
ried through the House before the citizens of
Dauphin county understands its import, which
if fully understood by the representatives of
Dauphin county, and allowed to pass by them,
ought to consign them to eternal disgrace and
infamy, and I know our Senator never would
have allowed it to pass that body, much lees
hurried it through as he did, had he under
stood it. The bill is published in your columns
to-day, and but for your notice of it, would no
doubt have been snaked through as intended
by its friends. The bill is entitled, "a further
Supplement to an act to authorize the county of
Dauphin to borrow MOD ey, &c . " and was actually
believed by many of our citizens, and published
by one of our daily papers, as intended to her
roiv money for the support of the wives and
children of our gallant soldiers now fighting
the battles of our country. First the whole
matter proposed to be legalized is now pending
in the court of. Common Pleas of Dauphin
county, on an appeal by the commissioners
from the report of the County Auditors, and
was on the list for trial at the last term of
our court but was continued by counsel who
stated that the matter was about to be wan
promisad. I hope the honorable counsel
,concerned have not had this proposed
legislation, in view when they spoke of an ex-
pecteti compromise. Or have the Audit°. sof
the county compromised by agreeing to allow
the commissioners to get by this act what
they could not allow them by law before
Bat if this bill only proposed to legalize the
amount actually expended in the erection of
the Court House, it would perhaps not be nec
essary at all; but it proposes to legalize the
sum of six hundred and seventy-five dollars
drew from the treasury by the Commissioners,
without any shadow of law, over and above the
per deim and mileage, under the pretence of
superintending the erection of the Court House
as if that had been no part of their business as
Commissioners. But a still more iniquitive
part of the bill is the proposed legalization of
the four hundred dollars extra pay allowed the
clerk for &ra service' s. This extra pay. has a
history oonnectdd with it, that need not be
stated here, but which is known to many of the
citizens of the county and fully understood by
the county Auditors, and no doubt known to
our members of the House, (if not, I refer them
to the county Auditors for information,) which
alone I hope will cause them to pause, and let
the citizens be heard before they allow this
monstrous wrong to be done to the tax payers
of the county. Let this matter be investigated
by our court where it is now pending, and, but
for this attempt to compromise, would now
ba disposed of. Now if in the face of these facts.
the - representatives of Dauphin county will
not protect our citizens from this attempted
iniquity, may we not'appeal to the represents
tivee from other counties for protection.
At this time, when our citizens are about to be
taxed to-their utmost ability to pay, and: when
ever dollar the county can spend, over and
above the necessary expenses, should , be appro
priated to the support of our gallant soldiers
and their families, 1 cannot look on and see
this outrage upon our rights pass unnoticed.

Positions of the Fleet at Port Royal
Foam MONROE, Feb. 7.
The steamer Eastern State arrived here this
morning, having left Hateras yesterday. She
brings the important news that General Burn
side's fleet left the anchorage at the inlet for
the North on Wednesday morning. The gun
boats started at sunrise, and the troop ships
followed soon after. Their destination was
Roanoke island. The weather was fine when
the feet left, and he news of the snivel of
the expedition at Roanoke island waa hourly
expected when the Eastern State left. Three
or four regiments were left at the inlet.
The Eastern State will return to Hatteras to-
morrow morning.
The names of the sick who died on board the
steamer Swanee, during her voyage to this
point, are James F. Haskell, co. I, 28d Massa
chusetts; Jesse Mack, co. I, 11th Connecticut;
William H. Porter, co. G, Bth Connecticut;
Samuel Gilbert of New Sharon, Vermont, sea
man on the Maria Pike. and Chancery ; F.
Cleveland, co. Jr, 11th Connecticut, all but the
last named were buried at sea.
Charles W. Boyington of company F, 26th
Massachusetts regiment, died to-day of typhus
fever.
Seven prisoners of war exchanged on parole
and several other passengers came down from
Baltimore this morning to go South. They
were sent to Craney Island by a flag of truce
under command of Maj. Jones.
No news or passengers were received.
Nothing had been heard at Norfolk of the
Burnside Expedition.
The steamer Rhode Island which arrived
from Philadelphia yesterday, sailed for Port
Royal this afternoon. The steamer Swannee
left last night night for Philadelphia for
repairs.
The only copy of the Norfolk Day Book re
ceived contains an editorial censuring the
newspapers for giving publicity to a statement
that the steamer Merrimack is a fillure. It
admits the fact to be true and gives full state
ments of the difficulties with regard to her. It
appears that the calculation of her displace
ment was eroneous, and error having been dis
covered of more than two hundred tons when
the ship was floated and Causes her present
detention.
The chief subject of regret, however, is that
when shoved up again the ship caught upon
the blocks and received considerable strain,
consequently some parts of her machinery have
'been taken up and a quantity of dead wood
will have to be introduced 'to correct the ten
dency to hog. It is in vain to deny that
it is a serious injury to the ship, but we
are happy to state that a careful survey shows
that it is by no means irreparable.
The Norfolk Day Book of .yesterday has the
following :
KwoxvnLE, Feb. s.—On Sunday Lieut. Col.
White's Tennessee cavalry encounted a force of
Lincoln's infantry in Morgan county, Tennessee,
estimated from one to three . hundred, on the
mountain side. White charged on the enemy.
Capt. Duncan rallied bis men twice.
Duncan was shgt through the head and
killed by J. Roberts, a lad fifteen years old.—
The Kentucky Unionists were then completely
routed and fled in confusion, leaving seven
dead.
The Savannah Republican of Thursday, says
the glass revealed yesterday no new movements
among the federate lying in the cut north of the
river beyond an addition to the number. Some
imagine they have moved nearer to the river,
but we could discover, no material change in
their position.
Persons familiar with the water courses in
that locality, say they have not yet reached
Wall's Cut, but are lying in the river beyond.
That does not communicate with the main
channel, yet the vessels occupying this position
can timidity command the main passage.
It has been stated by persons who ought to
know, that portions of Mud river, which leads
to Walls out into the Savannah river, goes dry
at three-quarter ebb, and that if the Yankee
gunboats should pats all obstrucl ions, they
would not be able to come through.
Nothing new from other points on the coast.
The Richmond Despatch says that the Burn
side expedition will have at least the effect of
making ue look well to our defences in that
quarter. Roanoke Island ought to be made
impregnable. All our batteries there and else
where should be proyided with bomb proof
coverings, the clumnershould be obstructed,
and no means left unemployed to foil the tour
poses of the enemy.
Thy Norfolk Day Book commences a column
editorial giving a melancholy account of
Merrimac in the following strain :
" We have scarcely patience, enough left to
speak in temperate language of the reckless
impropriety of two of our cotemporaries who
have seen fit in ti eir thirst for notoriety to
thrust before the public the fact that the Mer
rimac has proved an abortion."
The article also says : " Her great draught
of water should prevent her active operations,
and this draft, originally about twenty-four
feet, has been considerably increased."
The editor contents himself that at all events
she can le used as a floating battery.

The Savanah Expediton
--.0.-.
ITS EXTENT MAGNIFIED.
The Boats sent out to lkwonuoitre.
By the frigate Savannah, we learn that the
expedition on the Savannah river, has been
greatly magnified.
It consisted only of a few small gunboats and
a brigade of 2,000 men, which sailed from Port
Royal to reconnoitre and give the men ex
ercise.
A portion of the boats entered the Savannah
river by a small creek, but found the river ob
structed and had to return. They discovered
the enemy's fleet and fired at them as they
passed, but could not ascertain If any damage
was done. The main part of the expedition
had returned.
When the savannah left, a number of can
non were being sent through the creek, but it
was not known for what purpose.
Commoddre Duporit has, and in future will,
prohibit all compunhation between Port Royal
and the north, as the correspondents of the
press have materially aided in toiling many of
plans;his and no steamer or sailing vessels will
be allowe to leave until all his plans are per
fected.
Many of the crew of the Savannah are lick

THE COMMAND OF THE ARMY
GEN. FREMONT TO BE ASSIGNED A CON
MUM
Several sapient correspondents have worried
themselves lately concerning a prophesied
change in the management of the army and
have asserted amongst other misstatements
that Secretary Stanton in pursuance of a custom
sanctioned by long practice is about to assume
the active management of the army leaving
to General M'Clellau the charge of the army
of the Potomac. Inasmuch as this statement
would mislead readers as to the position of
General ld'Clellan, and the power of the Secre
tary, I will give briefly the facts of the case.
A week since the staff of General M'Clellan
were notified to be In readiness for a movement
across the river. In consequence of the state
of the roads they have not yet been ordered
over, but they are ready to go, and when they
go Gen. M'Clellan will turn over to the tem
porary charge of Mr. Stanton the control of
the entire army with the exception of the
army of the Potomac. It will he remembered
that when Gen. Scott went to Mexico , he. pur
sued a similar course, thus leaving himselfi free
to attend to the more important matter in
hand. General McClellan and Mr. Stanton it is
needless to say are on the best of terms.
The rumors concerning Gen. Fremont as
sumed definite shape, and it is now asserted
that by the 16th inst. he will be assigned to a
command.
