U 0 - Leiegrapil. OUR PLATFORM THE ONION—THE C'ONSITrUTION—AND THE ENFCIROE?dENT OF THE LAW. `HARRISBURG, PA Thursday Morning, February 20, 1862, PATRIOTIC ORDER.. Governor Curtin has issued an order, which we print in another column, directing that all commanders of encampments within the state of Pennsylvania, shall, on the 22d day of Feb ruary, cause a national salute to be and the troops under their command to appear on direr .parade.. This is both patriotic and ap propriate, as tending to give eclat to two events, first, the birth of Washington, and second, the brilliant victories for the preservation of the principles which Washington devoted his life to develope and establish in a free government. We trust that the display will be in all re spect equal to the occasion and the events it is designed to commemorate. In this city, the capital of Pennsylvania, a fitting demonstra tion should be made by the civic and military authorities. The military force is here to enli ven and honor such a demonstration, while the will and liberality of the people are both equal to any demand which can be made on them for such a purpose. SIENATOR LANVB proposition to the Senate is OW to make a man take his breath and stare. It has the sanction of the Military Cummittee, and is nothing less than a telegraph from Paris to San Francisco, passing through St. Peters burg and Moscow, across the European bound.: ary into the cold countries of Siberia, running into Tartarv, and pas ing the northern bound ary of the great Chinese empire, joins the Amoor river, and ke.ips along the shores of the Okbotek sea, and through the wild province of Tckutch, until it passes from Asia Into the narrow waters of Behring's Strait, embraces the Western Cot•tinent, on the bleak shores of Northern Russian America, crosses the peniu - limier territory above Prince William's Sound, pauses in Sitka, the capital of the Russian province, runs along the coast to Vancouver's Island, from thence to Oregon, and over the golden shores of our Pacific states until it rests at San Francisco, and uniting with our great Pacific line, brings London within a day of New York. It cannot,. but startle the progressive people of this ambitious and daring age. Compßomms will become the order of the day, now that the superiority of northern valor has been fairly tested. The half-hearted Union men of the "border states," who have been watching the contest to discover the victorious party-, lipping that victory would fall to the south, will now be prolific in offers to settle the "little difficulty between the north and the south." Look out, too, for like proceedings on the part of tee secret traitors at the north, They too, will join with the border state hypo crites, for the purpose of shielding the leaders of the,rehellion, and save all the necks they can from the bailer. The man who would pro pose II compromise at this juncture, would be worse than the traitor who struck the first blow. What is necessary fer future peace, is the complete,hutuiliation of the slave influ ence of the south, with the unconditional sur render of those who have conspired to destroy the Union. THE ANNIVERSARY OF TUN TREATY OF GHENT was celebrated in the city of New York, on Monday evening, by those who desired to do an honor to the memory of the immortal Clay, theillustrious g anthor and advocate of that mea sure. The ceremonies and banquet of the occa sion were celebrated for their brilliancy and sumptuousness, while the extent and intelli gence of the company present, indicated the strong hold, which the name of. Henry Clay pos• Bosses in the affections and the admiration of the American people. Gov. 'CORM has issued orders for the imme diate removal of three more regiments of volun teers from the state, to such locality on the southern coast, as may be indicated by the War Dopartment. These regimetkte are. com manded by Col. Donaker, encamped at Erie and Col. Leaman, encamped at liittaaing. They are both in the very highest state of dbl.- e, equipped and armed in themoat im proged ,manner, and ready for any action to which they may be called by duty. Gursias BirrnmELD, McDowell, Kearney, Sykes, Willard and Deliussey convened yester day, to title what changes could profitably be made in the army uniform 3. Their sugges tions, if adopted, will save the government about $4,000,00 yearly, and give our soldiers uniforms possessing beauty and more comfort. A Lam able military reviewer at Richmond writes : "McClellan holds our great army at Manassas, in a vice." Thus by the enemy's admiasion our Potomac army has not been use less. It has paralyzed the largest, bravest and the mow ably-commanded army that the Con federate states ever gathered. us NAPLES OOREESPONDENT of the London listre, writing on the 28th of January, states that the Italian government has given orders to Its oftletirs to rink the Sumter if met with in the waters otthe Mediterranean in case of a refusal to give herself - Ting PATRIOT AND Moos . has had another terrible dream to disturb its virtuous and usually placid slumbers. It has the capacity to snuff more than it Bees, and is always chasing some dreadful design of the "Black Republi cans," in the hope of overtaking and .cap turing it for the benefit of dough-face Locojo coiem. The last bugaboo that has flitted across its path, is the suspicion that Gen. Cameron is seeking to do something dreadful, or that his friends, who constitute the Nal bone and sinew of the commonwealth, are once more rallying to his support, as they are ever prompt to rally to the support of that which con duces to the honor and prosperity of Pennsyl vania, as well as to the glory, dignity and perpetuity of the Union. While doing this, the Republican party,. neither, ; demand nor de sire any advice - from tkose whose counsels heretofore conspired for the disgrace of the country, and whose highest aim has been to cultivate that despicable spirit among the peo ple of the south, which eventually culminated in rebellion. In arresting that rebellion, and pro viding means for its complete suppression, the country to-day Is more indebted to the vigi lance and energy of Gen. Cameron than to any .other ind4idual connected with the govern ment. It was .his herculean efforts which gathered and consolidated the first army which surrounded Washington city when its citizens daily expected . it to _be taken and destroyed. It was his industry, perseverance and indom itable will that provided the means to feed and shelter not alone the army, but to furnish meat and bread for, the people of the District of Columbia. Patent as these facts are, and patent as is also the fact that, while the Secre tary of War was thus employed, hordes of Demo crats, who were crying, for the destruction of party lines and a union of all men for the sake of the Union, were also ens aged in the mostdes perate and systematic attempts to rob the gov ernment—rob it while conspirators of their own political faith were organizing for its destruction —rob it while its, glory and its greatness were beseiged and in almost hopeless danger—rob it while its foreign enemies ever predicting its downfall and its domestic foes; were laughing to scorn its presumed lack of power to preserve its own authority and enforce its own laws.— The men who were guilty of these crimes are the wretches who now seek to bring the admin istration into disgrace because they succeeded in betraying its interests in the hour of its dan ger—while t hose who assail the ex-Secretary of War, because his friendships and his personal real in behalf of his country led him to confide in some who betrayed their trusts, are as willing to denounce the integrity and the purity of the republic, because certain of its citizens have polluted their hands in efforts to cover it with disgrace, or laid perjury on their souls while endeavoring to destroy its covenants and guar antees. The few personal enemies and politically en vious opponents, who thus-busy themselves in assailing General Cameron, are led to their work in the hope that they can effect his reputation abroad, where they imagine their slanders will circulate unrefuted. At home, their falsehoods and their friendships are alike despised. They have no power but to assert vile, and desperate charges, which fall on the public ear only to elicit disgust and a 'withering counter-denunci ation, such as has frequently sent the vile tra ducers of General Cameron howling to their kennels. The people of Pennsylvania under stand his devotion, appreciate and honor his integrity, as one who has never be trayed a single trust reposed in him, and who has been faithful to the state and the country in all. the positions he has ever filled. During a life of toil,—of unfaltering adherence to those who confided in him—of zeal in the prosecution of every public enterprise•— of moral worth and independent integrity in all his acts—it would be mournful indeed if a great commonwealth would permit his name and his fame to become the common prey of those who have marked out for themselves the very ex cesses they attribute to him,—and who, having failed in their schemes, now seek to drag down a faithful man to their own dirty level. We have no fear, therefore, for the future of Gen. Cameron—we have no fear of the failure of any vindication he may seek either before the peo ple or their representatives, when reason con trols their judgment and patriotism dictates their preferences. WHEN THIS REBELLION IS CRUSHED, as it must be in a very few months, if no unforseen acci dent interrupts the victorious progress of our troops, what is to become of the 600,000 loyal men now in arms? Of course they can be dis banded at a word from the proper authorities, and every man would at once resume the avo cation in which he was engaged when the re bellion was inaugurated. But a large propor tion of these forces will be kept under arms the more effectually to put in force the authority of the federal government in the revolted states. If three hundred thousand men are thus kept in arms, dare we not anticipate some change in the demeanor of those who have assumed the protectorate of Mexico ; and as the other three hundred thousand retire to their homes in the north, each soldier will arouse the martial spirit of a friend as he details the rough incidents of the camp, or recites the more glorious contests and iv niggles of the battle field. Necessity has aroused the military spirit of the American pe( , - ple Pride hereafter, will keep it alive. It will form a characteristic in the nation as prom -I.4ent as peace heretofore had become in the reputation and progress .of the American gov ernment. European governments and aristo cracies will then no longer insult our positions, tamper with our necessities and disgrace our weakness. A rough Canadian mob will not, then, clamor for war, and about that time, too, the British gov,ernment will acknowledge the courtesy extended by Secretary Seward, in per mitting British soldiers peacefully to pads over our soil, on their way to the dominions of the British crown. Unless the nationotthe world enter on a combination to crush the Republic of the west, that Republic will have wrongs to redress which will yet humble 'kingly crests ; and rights to insist upon in the establishment of which the world will he' taught 'alesson, the salutary effects of which will last as long as liberty survives with time.,. In the fulfillment of the destiny of freedom, the struggle through which the American people are now passing, is but the trial of purification ; the strengthening -by experience and practice, from which the nation will emerge more glorious and more majestic than ever ; and after which pore will thweaffain to usurp its power or deny its antltority.

Additional Particulars of the Capture• Heroic Conduct of the Union Soldiers CINCINNATI, Feb. 18. The following is an account of Saturday's fighting at Fort Douelson: , On Saturday morning the battle was resumed with unusual vigor and determination. The Eighth, Eighteenth, Twentieth, and Thirty filet Illinois occupied A position above the fort. They were about preparing, a little food' when the rebels opened on them a fire of musketry. The line of battle was at once formed, and the storm of leaden hail returned, perceptibly Thinning the rebel ranks. The rebels from their advantageous position, showered. Upon our ranks most murderous volleys of intisketry, grape and canister,.killing and wounding our men almost by companies at every round ; yet every man stood his ground bravely, deter minedly and without flinching. • These four regiments held their ground, dealing death, dying and fighting against appalling odds, and in the face of every dined vantage. The Eighteenth regiment seems to have resisted the severest storm. Against their ranks the rebels directed their heaviest fire, but instead of falling back they advanced to the face of the enemy, and there stood in the very jaws of death, with scarcely a prospect that a single one woulik,esoape. , For three hours these regiments , numbering scarcely two thousand men, held their ground against the whole rebel garrison. ' .# , • • At one time the Eighteenth; being partially flanked, was expceed to a cross fire of both musketry, and artillery ; .but :our right wing, securing the rebels' left, at once relieved them. At this critical moment Col. Lawler fell. Capt. Bush, Acting Littut: COlonel, 'nesunted, corn mami, but was soon Wounded. Capt. Crane was shot deed, Capt. Lawler was mortally wounded, Limits. Hanford and Thompson killed, Captains,Dillon and Wilson and Lients.. Kelly and Scanlon. wounded, so that the daring Egyptian regiment stood before an overwhelming fire almtest without officers 'They fell biliesps, dead and wounded. Com; panies were bereft of captains and lieutenants ; captains almost bereft of companies. The other three regiments did their duty nobly. Colonels Oglesby, Marsh and Logan dashed along the ranks, waving their hats and cheering their men to- the conflict. "Suffer death, men," cried Logan ' "but disgrace never. Stand firm." And well they, heeded him.— Many fell dead and wounded. Among the lat ter were Colonel Logan and Lieutenant Colonel White. Oglesby's and Marsh's regiments fought des perately, losing, like other regiments, an undue proportion of officers.:. .oolonel Oglesby dis played coolness and courage that have elicited the highest praise, and served well in stimula ting his men. Never, perhaps, on the American continent has a more bloody battle been fought. An offi cer who participated and was wounded in the tight says the scene beggars description. So thickly was the battle field strewn with dead and wounded that he could have traversed. acres of it, stepping at moat everystep upon a prostrate body. The rebels fobght with desperation, their artillerists using their pieces with most fearful effect. On either side could be heard the voices of those in command cheering on their men. The four Illinois regiments held their ground full three hours: - Neirly - tme third bad been killed or wounded, yet the balance stood firm. Finally reinforcements arrived, and for an hour the slaughter continued. About four o'clock our right wing turned their left, and the rebels fall back into the for tifiCations, and our flag was planted upon the position occupied by their left wing, and for the time the slaughter ceased. Dresser's and Schwartz's batteries were cap tured during the action, but the Eighteenth Illinois, with clubbed muskets, recovered Dresser's, while the Thirty-first recovered Schwartz's. , - ImPortant Rumor Conoerning A.

FROM WASHINGTON THE OAPTITEE OF SAVANNAH. Wen diotox, Feb. 19 There is no official data to justify the belief that our forces intend advancing upon Savan nah with the view of capturing and holding that city.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER KANO/0100. The Pirate Nagiville and the United States Steamer Tuscsarora. SPEECH OF MR. BRIGHT ON AMERICAN AFFAIRS. THE WAR* IN MEXICO• The Allies to march on the Capital of Mexico next , month. ANOTHER PIRATE SEEN OFF CAPE OMR Nsw Yortx, Feb. 19. The steamer Kangaroo has arrived with Liverpool dates of the 6th inst. The steamer Canada arrived out on the 4th in•tant. The pirate Nashville was last seen on the evening of the 3d inst. outside the Needles, steering down the channel. The Tuscarora still remained in Coweson the evening of the 4th. There is no confirmation of the report that another Federal vessel, supposed to be the Brooklyn, was cruising off the Isle of Wight. There are rumors of a three masted paddle steamer supposed to be a privateer, off cape Clear. The brigantine Fanny Lewis, which ran the Charleston blockade, arrived at Liverpool With six hundred bales of cotton and three hundred barrels of rosin. ' At the annual meeting of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, the blockading of the Charleston Harbor was strongly denouroed and the efficiency of the blockade questioned, but continued non-Intervention was generally ap proved. A letter was read from Mr. Cobden showing the permanent importance, of settling beliger ent righta,and the neceesity for England agree ing to the American doctrine relative to pri vate properly at sea. Mr. Bright, in a speech at Birmingham, de nied that the American blockade was ineffect ual. He ridiculed the idea that Ameri a was in a position to be trampled upon. He pointed out the dangers of interference, and strongly urged a strict neturality. It is stated that Mr. Adams, the American M.nister, does not conceal his indignation at Earl Russell's late letter to the admiralty, rel ative to the use of the British ports. There is also considerable differences in political circles as to the policy and propriety of toe act. It is asserted that the allies have determined that their armies shalt march on the Capital of Mexico next month. The report is revived and gains strength that the arch Duke Maxindllian will be tendered , the throne of Mexico. More French troops are under orders for Mexico. It is asserted that the French government has determined to raise and modify the naviga tion laws. - The bourse has been firm and closed'dull at 71f. 40c- The Calcutta, China and Atietralian mails have reached Alexandria. A private telegram from Calcutta, January 17th, reports cotton goods and yams unsaleable and nominal. Tte Cork Herald says that a long paddle. wheel steamer, with two penneta and three masts, was seen steaming slowly three miles east of Cape Clear, on the Slat ult. She did not -how any colors or name, and it was con jecturtd, from the peculiarity of her move ments, that she, was an American pirate. THE LATEST. QUIENSTOWN, Feb. 6. —The Tuscarora left Cowes on Thursday morning for the west ward. The Spanish ministry deny any arrangements made for Mexico and say that the Mexicans are free to choose their own government. The Montieur says that the allies must com plete their work by giving in accordance with the wishes of the nation a strong durable gov ernment. France borrows from two to four millions of English capitalists, for a brief period to sustain the Bourse during the conversion of the 4} per cents. PARIS, Feb. 6.—A committee has been ap pointed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the regulation of the indemnity due by Mexico. Laporte the Mexican minister at Paris will remain there in a private capacity. MADRID, Feb., 6.—Acorrespondent states that the pirate Sumter was still lying at St. Bock, and was without funds to pay the et' eases in curred there. • The United States Consul has given a ban quet to the former prisoners of the Sumter. America and the Queen of Spain were toasted. VIIINNA, Feb. 9.—The Austrian prpas con tinues strongly protesting against the exchange of the throne of Mexico for Venetia. Basin's, Feb. 6.—The chambers will discuss the whole position of affairs in• Geimany. The progress party proposed several energet ic resolutions on the German question. The Independence. Beige says that England accept; the monarchical candidate for Mexico on condition' of the Mexicans freely consent ing. min QUEEN'S sPEECII LANDO; Feb. 6.—Parllament opened to day. The Queen's speech is as follows: MY Loans AND GarrnsmaN:— We are com manded by her Majesty to assure you that her Majesty is persuaded that you will deeply par ticipate in the affliction by which her Majesty has been overwhelmed by the calamitous, un timely sad irreparable loss of her beloved con sort, who has been her comfort and support.— It has bop soothing to her Majesty, while suf fering most asutely under this awful dispensa tiou of Providence to receive from all classes of her subjects the most cordial assurances of their sympathy with her sorrow. We are commended by her majesty to assure you that she looks with confidence to your assistance and advices. Her majesty's relations with all the European powers continue to be friendly aud satisfac tOry, and her majesty trusts there is no reason to apprehend any disturbance of the peace of Europe. A question of great importance, which might have led to very serious con sequences, arose between her majesty and the government of the United States of North America, being the seizure and forcible removal of four passengers frun on board .a British mail packet by the commander of a ship of war of the United States. That question has been satisfactorily ,settled by_the restoration of- the passengers to British protection., and by r _thel iiblavow4 by the 17hited :Btatee. cknrenucuiati of the act of viol , nce committed by tip -it- naval officer. The friendly relations between her majes.ty and the President of the United States tte therefilro unimpaired. Her Majesty feel. ingly apprecia ed the loyalty and patriotism which hare been manifested on this occa.4ion by her Majesty's North American subjects. The wrongs committed by various parties and by successive govemmnts in Mexico, upon foreign residents within the Mexican territory, and for which no satisfactory redress could be obtained, have led to the conclusion of a convention be tween her Majesty, the Emperor of France and the Queen of Spain for the purpose of regulating the combined operations on the coast of Mexico, with a view to obtain that re dress which has hitherto been withheld. That convention and the papers on the subject will be laid before you. The improvement which has taken place in the relations between her Ma jesty's Government and the Emperor of China, and the good faith with which the Chinese Government have continued to fulfil the arrangements of the treaty of Tien Sien, have enabled her majesty to with draw her troops from the port of Canton, and to reduce the amount of her forces on the coast and In the Seas of China. Her Majesty, always anxious to exert her in fluence for the preservation of peace, has con cluded a convention with the Sultan of Mo rocco, by means of which the Sultan has been enabled to raise the amount necessary for the fulfilment of certain treaty ari arigements helhad contracted. towards Spain and thus to avoid the result of a renewal of hostilities with that power. That convention, and the papers con nected with it, will be laid before. Her majesty rtgrets that in some parts of the United Kingdom,and in certain branches of in dustry, temporary canoes have produced con siderable pressure and privation, but we have reason to believe the general condition of the country is sound and satisfactory. Her majesty confidently commends the general interests of the nation to your wisdom and care; she fervently prays that the blessing of Almighty God may attend your deliberations, and may guide them to the promotion of the welfare and happiness of her people.

BLOOD AND BRAINS.—An officer at Fort Hen ry writing to a ftiend in Ohicago, says : The works are very extensive ; the outside intrenchments are four miles around ; inside, near the fort, is another Intrenchment, and the fort itself is a very good work, mounting one 12-inch columbiad, Iron carriage—the largest gun lever saw ; one large rifled cannon, disa bled, which carried a shell eighteen inches long, and seventeen other guns, 82 and 24 pounders. The camp is more extensive than that at Bird's point ; tte log huts and tents rue now occupied by our troops. The effect of our shells in the fort was terrible indeed—dis mounting guns and blowing up quarters ; and, judging from the blood and brains which are scattered about, the slaughter must have been considerable. All around the guns that were worked, the brains and blood were plastered thick against the sand bags, and about the gun that burst, the sight is sickening. I saw an eye here, a tongue there, and brains all over. some of the bodies had been thrown into a hole full of water, and covered with sand bags. Sixteen were fished out this evening. A Stave lately came into the ramp of the lowa troops at Florence, Mo., mounted upon a high spirited horse, on which he bad escaped from his master, who lives near St. Louis.— Around his neck was a band of iron, half en inch thick, and nearly one-and-a-half Inches wide, not locked, but securely riveted. Three iron prongs, of lightning-rod size, were welded to this band, at equal distances apart, and arose above his head about nine Inches, with an out ward inclination. The iron •had lacerated T his neck, and.the wounds had - tiartially healed un der the protection he bad given them by hold ing up the band with his hands, during the proceeding days that he was concealed in a cornfield, but while riding the horse he could not hold it up, and it bad opened the wounds from which there was a bloody, mattery ooze, trickling down his broad shoulders. To the soldiers who surrounded him, with pity and as tonishment, the negro pleaded earnestly : " Please, masse roger, take die collar off my neck. I'se a good nigger ; I'll do any ting you want me. The Illinoy Bogen?, cut the collar off 'er Ben." After a labor of three hours the collar was filed off. It appears that the negro had carried this iron baud upon his neck about three months, as a punishment for assisting his wife to escape into Illinois. WRILLNOTON NEVBR Losr a Gtrs.—lt is a sin gular fact in this man's histoiy twat he never lost a gun to the enemy "R. turning with him one day from the hui.ting field," says Lord Ellesmere, "I asked him it h:: could form any calculation of guns he had taken in the course of his career?" "No," he replied, "not with accuracy ; somewhere about 8,000, I should guess. At Oporto, after the passage of the Douro, I took the entire siege train of the ene my; at Vittoria and Waterloo 1 took every gun the enemy had in the field. After the battle of Salamanea," be went on to explain, "three of my guns, attached to some Portugese cavalry, were captured in a trifling affair near Madrid, but they were recovered the next day. In the Pyrennes, Lord Hill found himself obliged to throw eight or nine guns over a precipice, but these were all recovered, and•none fell into the enemy's hands at all." Enacts or mu WAlL—When this war is end ed we must probably become for some time a military nation.
