THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.
`HARRISBURG, PA
Thursday Afternoon. March 20,1862.
THE CITY ELECTION.
The approaching city election has thus far
crested no other feeling than that of a general
desire to elect the very beet men in all the
wards, and thus far secure for the city govern
ment in all its derartments, the most efficient
service and largest economy. We are pleased
to notice this fact, more particularly at this
time, whtn in local elections snoh as the one
approaching, there should be none of those di
visionsof parties which seem essential in other
elections involving the issue of prindpleswhich
neither party are willing to trust to the legisla
tion or executive enforcement of the other. One
of the most important officers to be elected to
morrow, is that of City Treasurer. It is there
fore necessary that none but the most reliable
and deserving should be allowed to assume its
responsibilities and take charge of its trusts.
The Republican and Union conferees have
nominated Gomm Tarrmasomt, from the
First Ward, for, this position, and initresent
ing him to the support of the people, we have
the advantage of being able to urge in his be
half the essential qualifications of cf7mpetency
and honesty. Added to these, Mr. Trollinger Is
known to nine-tenths of the tax-payers of the
city sea sober and industrious working man ;
as one who has contributed largely to the suc
cess of every meohaolcal enterprise, and as one
who e at this time, is peculiarly deserving of the
support of the people et large. While Mr. I'.
himself does not make any particular claim on
this account, and while
,he feels equal to the
task of combatting with the overwhelming
misfortune of fire which so lately prostrated
and &Strayed his investments and business
prospects, we frankly confess our gratification
thigt the people of Harrisburg have resolved to
show their sympathy for a worthy, man, by
aiding him in every honorable manner to re
trillite his fortunes while he is serving the pub
lic." We trust that this purpose may be sue
osseful. We trust that every liberal and enter
prfahirMan will sustain Mr. Trollinger, and we
are certain that.no coofidence reposed in him
will eves be abased, or no trust confided to his
onto, ever suffer by his election as City Treasurer.
TAN COUNTY SUIT.
The appeal of the County Comm Issioners - from 1

on the application of the County Auditors, who

day aftenoon for Washington. The Commis.'

grant the application of the Auditors. We have

FAMES IN 2HE REBELLION.
When the conspiracy of the slave holders
showed its venom, and when the supposed su
periority o f the southern rebels was a theme for
the discussion and ventilation of the dough
faces of the north, the front men of the Repub
lican party were tauntingly told that they must
fight down the rebellion on their,own responsi
bility,aa the Democracy had no oonnection either
in creating, or no inclination in crushing, the
raid. This is a historical fact.
When the country discovered the . appa ll ing a
extent of the treason, and when for time the
people almost shrank from the contest which.
by vilifying Democratic tongues, they had been
taught would be unequal and disastrous, the
energy of the nation was aroused' by the bold
ness of a Republican administration, and at once
a force was brought into the field to cope with
traitors. When this force was being disciplined
—when the raw recruit was asked to yield to the
rigor of the camp, and when, during the first
enrollment, it was thought that the war would
be finished in a few months. the Democratic
party, through its leaders, struggled in every
manner to embarrass the operations of the army
by prejudicing the business and financial classes
against extending all aid to the government,
until their acts became so audacious as to
arouse the indignation of the peeple, and attract
to these same leaders the odium of sympathisers
with traitors, while the fiery threats of the
mob in -more than one instance intimidated
those who'could not be convinced, and forced
others, who avowed< their sympathy for the
rebels, into at least a tacit support of the gov
ernment.
These historical facts'prove, that the burden
and the support of the war mainly rest on the
policy adopted by the Republican party, and had
that policy been permitted freely 'to demon
strate itself in results, the end of the rebellion
would have been arrived at four months ago,
and the peace of the country been established
now as fairly as ever. If the policy of the Re
publican party, first enunciated in Congress, on
the subject of armed resistance to the rebellion
had been adopted by that body—if James Bu
chanan, understanding as he did, the extent of
the rebellion, and knowing as he did, the in
terest of the leaders, had used the power con
ferred on Mai by his perogatives of office, the
rebellion would have been crushed out before he left the
Presidential mansion one year ago.
Bat in all these instances, the object of the
Democratic party has been to break down the Re
publican organization of the country. When
South Carolina raised the banner of revolt, and
the other states now in rebellion, sternly fol
lowed her example, the leaders of the Republi
can party saw inthe movement, and announced
the fact, that the object was not only the die
rupture of the American Union, but that it
contemplated the annihilation of civil and re
ligious liberty oct r ilda hemisphere On theae
two points the Republican party based its oppo
sition to the rebellion. They opposed the
establishment of nOonfedentcy, with slirverxfox
its basis, because such an organization was cal
culated to affect every principle or development
for social and pOlitical 'prosperity, ' Oa
,the
other hand, the Democratic party maintained
that the rebels had not only the right of seces
sion, but that they Shed the cause for revolt,
and that whatever position the- traitors might
assume, the right of revolution was sacredly
theirs, to be exercised whenever they deemed
it essential for their gOod, and that in main
tabling such a right, they were worthy the
applause of all who valued the inalienable
right of self-government..
At the organization, of rebellion, such were
the positions'of the Republican itild Democratic
parties. When the war had been waged for
six months, those pieltions were unchauged,
and whenever disaster overtook our armies,
[ the sympathy of dough face Democrats showed
itself ill open applause of treason, while these
same Democratic leaders rejoiced in the hour
of our dismay, and exultingly pointed to disas
ter as the corroboration of their own predio
tiona....
Through all the opposition In the free states—
with the clamors of the Secret traitors in Con
gress—with a press blindly attached to * the
principle that the enslairetneat of one race
was the highest end which another could
accomplish through the influence of De
mooracy-with the prejudices whioh such
assumptions would create in the public miod,
it became the duty of the Republican masses
alone to oombit. And they did combat with
until revolution achieved, its , end in the free
states, and rebellion in the slave states was so
ed as to place it beyond the power of

has heretofore worked, that which:will lie fast=
ened on Democratic leaders by the 'tionfestion"
of traitors, will far exceed it in enormity. and
extent. History will prove that.the cenapirairy
of the slave holder was seconded by the siirt - patby of Demomtio leaders; and while the
first struggled for dominion over soil and souls,
the others expected only the reward of office as
their loaves and fishes. -
Bach has. been and such is the posltiOn of

tribute to the humanity of the age. On this
account we most sincerely 4esire that there

North, when the bloody details .reach their
hearths and their altars. If we, can win the
fight by stratagem, the more credit to our skill
and perseverance. If we can save the effusion

onaly applaud the stratagem which seeks to
avoid the butchery of whole armies of rebels,
we must not relent in any rigor calculated to
bring the leading traitors and instigators of
rebellion to the death penalty. The leaders of
this rebellion must not be suffered to survive
its suppression. To arrest its fury, means to
hang every leader, from the liar, Jeff. Davis,
to the thief, John B. Floyd. If these wretches
are allowed to escape—if justice in some shape,
whether it is as a bullet or a halter, fails to
overtake these fiends, and they are allowed to
go before the people of other climes, with their
falsehoods, in their audacity and their reckless
ness, this government will be guilty of a deri
liction in its duty to otherzovernmente, which
the severebt reprehension would fail to punish.
We owe it to the peace of the world—we owe
it to the purity'of government and the dignity
of mankind, each involving a principle which
no nation can disregard with impunity, to
bring those who - concocted and those who led,
the rebellion, to a death penalty such as will
vindicate the law, preserve the peace of the
country, and
i forever ensure the power of the
national authority. When strategy can be
made productive of such results, humanity
and policy will both applaud its adoption.
Tam Wino WAGON= 01 TECO ALLIGRANTIO,
patriotic poetical production from the prolific
pen of T. Buchanan Reed, was read in the
House of Representatives last evening, by tire
eminent American tragedian and elocutionist,
James E. Murdoch. The House was filled with
a brilliant, critical and fashionable audience,
whose presence we regarded as at once a tribute
to the author and the reader of the Wild Wag
oner of the Alleghenies. The, poem Is founded on
the incidents and facts which abound in our
Revolutionary history,while the scenes selected
by the writer in which to lay his plot and bring
out his characters, are those which have been
made immortal by the struggles and victo
ria' of Washington; Wayne, Lafayette and
their compeers. They embrace the torture,
suffering and wild suspinse of Tilley Forge,
with the battle, , . slaughter and defeat at
Brandywine. Among and out of these, with
the aid of a most prolific and brilliant poetical
fancy, Mr. Reed his woven a poem of the
highest order, on which he can well rest his
fame, already so extensive and so eniriable, but
we doubt if the Wild Wagoner of the Alleghenies
ever would have been as successful as it is, bad
it failed to receive the elocutionary touches of
the tongue of Mr. - Murdoch. It is his enuncia ,
tion which developed its real beauty. It is his
rich and mellefiuous voice which brings out
the real cadence of its numbers ; while his
bright and vivid conception, gives us a rail
idea of its characters, from the rough and dar
ing Wagoner himself, to the gentle boy and
maid whose destinies axe sotefiderly and closely
woven into one fate by the imagination of the
poet.
In the reading of this poem, Mr. Murdoch
has been deservedly snmessful. On the, stage
he has no superior, either as au actor, scholar
and gentleman, and we congratulate him on
the new line he has adoptid of appearing before
the public, as one in which the characteristics
of the man and the scholar can be better 'ex
hibited than on: the boards of a thealse.

Of &. Augustine, Fla., March 18,1882.
Bl2l:—Haviog on the 4th despatched a di
vision of my force to hold Brunswick, consist
ing of the Mohican, Pocahontas and Potomeka,
under Commander Gordon, I shifted my flag
from the first named vessel to the Pawnee, and
organised another squadron of light vessels,
embracing tlie four regular gunboats—the Ot
tawa, Henrea, Pembina and Huron, with the
Isaac Smith and Ellen, under Lieutenant-Com
manding Stevens, to proceed without delay to
the month of the St. Johns river, and cross, if
possible, its difficult and shallow bar, shell the
forth, if still held, and push on to Jacksonville—
indeed, to go as far as Pilatka, eighty miles
beyond, to reconnoitre and capture the river
steamers. This expedition was to be accompae
nied by the armed launches and cutters of the.
Wabash, undir Lieutenants Irwin and Barnes,
and by a light draft transport with the Seventh
New Hampshire regiment!
After arranging with Brigadier General
Wright our joint occupation of the Florida
and Georgia coasts, including the mansion and
grounds of Dungennes, on. the Cumberland
Island--originally the property of the revolu
tionary hero and patriot, General Greene, and
still owned by his descendants—and leaving
Commander Percival Drayton in charge of the
naval force, / rejoined this ship, waiting for me
off Fernandina, and proceeded with her to St.
Johns, arriving there on the 9th.
The gun boats had not been able to cross the
bar, but expected to do so the next day—the
Ellen only getting in that evening. As at Nas
sau, whicn was visited by Lieutenant Com
manding Stevens, en his way down, the forts
seemed abandoned.. There being no probability
that the Huron could enter, I despatched her
off St. Augustine, where I followed her, ar
riving on the llth. I immediately sent on
shore Commander C. R. P. Rodgers, with a flag
of truce, having reason to belleve.that if there
were ny, people on this coast likely to remain
in their houses it would be at St. Augustine. I
enclose Commander Rodgers' most interesting
report, which, I am sure, the department will
read with satisfaction.
The American Sag is flying' once more over
that old city, raised by the hands of its , own
people, who resisted the appeals,• threats and

session of a mond national fort of strength
and importance.
Since writing the above, I have received by
the Isaac Smith, a report from Lieutenant Com
manding Stevens, of his operations in the St.
John's river, giving details of great interest.—
I learn with regret of acts of vandalism on the
part of the rebel commanders, if not the people,
in setting fire to - vast quantities of lumber, and
the saw-mills in that region, owned by 'North
