HARRISBURG, PA.
Wednesday Afternoon, Mg 28, 1862
AID FOR THE MOH AND FOUNDED
SOLDIERS.
W. Bostick, S. Lewy, C. C. Mathews and Geo.
Bergner started:this afternoon with a car load
of provisions, clothing, &c., for the sick and
wounded in the hospitals at Fortress Monroe
and Brdthnore. These gentleman will deliver
these articles, so generously cOnttibuted by the
citizens of Harrisburg, in person to the unfor
tunate who have risked their lives in defence of
their country. •
The loyal citizens of Harrisburg, thus abun
dantly contributing to the sick and wounded, will
receive the grateful thanks of those whom their
liberai !minty is about.to relieve ; and as the
soldier resbi.bis weary spirit, shattered in body
and sick at heart, his soul will be- animated
with a new 'hope when he discovers that his
Iriendi 14 home have nut forgotten him. The
writer of these paragraphs was one of the ema
nate° that solicited aid for the purchase of the
Stores to-day forwarded to Fortress Monroe.
That committee was successful beyond their
most sanguine expectations, and they are proud
to proclaim that only one single, solitary man,
one, too, who is in the habit of boasting of his
wealth, treated the appeal of the committee
in behalf of the , soldiers with contempt, and
refused to contribute a farthing for the benefit
of patriotism and humanity. May the soul of
that man shrink back upon his meanness when
ever be gazes at the old flag of the stars and
stripes.
Tne committee are satisfied that a much
larger supply of every article necessary for the
comfort of the soldier, could have been col
lected from the liberal people of Harrisburg,'
had the time justified the effort. To the ladies
of Harrisburg, the committee feel that they
owe their success, nor will they fail to remind
and assure the sufferers whom they, go to relieve
that thex are not forgotten by the virtuous
and beautiful daugbteis of the state capital.
From the hour that the proposition was made
to collect these stores, the hands of our fair
ladies have been busy—busy morning, noon
and night—busy during the sacred quiet of the
Sabbath—busy every day, cheerfully and hope
fully believing that each stitch ef Abe needle
would be the medium of relief to the soldier.
Mrs. W. S. Shaeffer, Market Square, deserves
eSpeclally to be remembered in connection
with this work of noble patriotism. She
labored night and day—wasting net a moment,
in her ardent ambition to render her work
worthy of the valor of those who were to be
relieved. Mrs. Rev. Hay was also eminent in
this business -- eloquently appealing for ald,•
and most assiduously contributing her time
and her' services to the furtherance of the
work. Joined to these were many others, who
will receive not only the blessing of the sol
dier and the gratitude of the country, but
have added additional lustre to their names
as American women, and won the pure appro
bation of Heaven.
Ms Moan wa ',URN about the movements in
the'valley of the Shenandoah during the last
few weeks, the more plainly does it appear that
the management of General Banks has been
admirable, and such as will give him a high
place among our military chiefs: He bad be

Into,an,enemy's country, where every man or
woman he met might be a spy ; he fought the

proper base, and here be su alatmed and an
noledthe rebels that Davis was obliged to de
tabh a considerable force from his main army
and send it to co-operate with Jackson, in order
to keep Banks in dock. Doubtless this ylas
one of the objects for which the column of
Banks was pushed forward. He, Fremont and
Ii!Dowell were to effect, as well as they could,
divtlistons in favor of McClellan, to weaken as
much as possible the enemy in his front. Banks
aeoomplished this and more. By his euergetio
he first obliged the rebels to detail
a considerable force from their main body to
march and oppose him ; and then, while three
fortrtbit of his own corps were drawn away to
soother point, he still managed to keep the
enemy before him in force, and draw back so
skilfully as to avoid the clutches of Jackson and
get safely across the Potomac. No severer test
of generalship could be devised, than this
through which General Banks. has passed so
honorably. It is always disagreeable to retreat
, even when retreat is the meant) of victory in
bother put of the field of war ; but no one
who knows the country in which General
Banks • has • been operating, and tau strategic
manceevres which be has successfully carried
through, will fall to give to the General and
to his noble little army the highest credit for
valor, skill and discipline.
Tus Bums Comm h.:7=l.mm= puts some
"racking" questions- to John D. Skiles, the
newly- elected Congressman in that district.
Among other interrogatories it inquires what
he intends to do when he takes his seat in Con
gress as the representative of the people of
Bucks and. Lehigh counties ? Will he be in
favor of "an honorable adjustment" with the
rebels who approach our gallant soldiers under
cover of a white flag, and then treacherously
shoot them like dogs? Be pledged himself to
this course when he was nominated; will he
now pursue it? In the name of the wives, sis
ters, fathers, mothers and children of the brave
men who have gone from among us to defend
the Spas and stripes, and many of whom may
to-day lie mangled corpses in the battle-field
at Richmond, we demand to know where he
stands? If he is true to hie words, and follows
in the footsteps of his leaders, then indeed the
Union cause has in his election received a bloiv
that can only be compared to a bloody rebel
Irkttory in the field of battle.
WED WILL SATISFY TEEM?
When Gen. Cameron was at the head of the
War Department, straining body and mind,
and devoting health and strength to his coun
try and his countrymen, the - clique which the
Patriot represents was steadily engaged in . his
defamation. All his actions were impugned—
his zeal turned to scorn at a time when he was
impelled to silence and forced to undergo con
tumely, by the necessities of the public service
and the great secrets of state then reposed lu
him. He was silent, not that he feared hie
traducers, but he would rather.sutler -misrepre
sentation than that his country should be im
perilled by the truth, because while such an
utterance would have been his triumphant vin
dication, the truth then would have also been
the humiliation of the country, and its exposure
to the diplomatic intrigues of the governments
of the world. Aa it the case of Gen.DarneroD,
so are the same harpies sharpening their teeth
on. the acticmh ; and, reputation of! •Secretary
littmton. The Patriot flies at the countermand
ing of the troops summoned a day, or two
since, in obedience to a momentary con
viction of danger, and pins Secretary Stanton
to the wall, as a fair mark for its malignity and
spleen. The fact is that the Patriot is deter
mined not to be Satisfied withtitewar measures
of the administratintr, simply as it first regard
ed the war to suppress rebellion a wrong on
Democracy, because -Democracy was centered
in slavery, and slavery itself is rebellion at all
times, against all that is noble in humanity,
safe in society and loyal in governm Sec
retary Stanton is denounced as loco if
not imbecile, because he summoned e
field when the whole country was struck with
trepidation and filled with solicitude for the
safety of the federal forces. Secretary Stanton
sea man , could not resist the appeal for succor
and re-enforcement that was made to him by
the survivors of that
_fearful retreat—he could
not control the mighty outburst of loyalty
that went up to him from all parts of the
country—nor can he command the secession sympa
thies of such a shed as the Patriot. Because the
men thus summoned were not needed—because
the great panic which-at first struck the heart
of the people, has proven to be unfounded, and
the traitor foes which at first covertly attacked
our forces, have slunk away, the Patriot must
indu'ge its old feeling, by giving a patient
and laborious administration the benefit of its
billingsgate, and by denouncing the aecretary
of War, again to assure Its old traitor allies of
its sympathies. A few of our readers, or such
of them as peruse the Patriot, have• of
cource noticed this last illustration of the
spleen of that sheet, and so far as they are
concerned, the hypocracy of the past profes
sions of the Patriot, ••on the subject of loyalty
and devotion to the Union, has been fully ex
, posed.; bat to* the great_mass of the people,
who never get to tread :that sheet, we deem
it only just to write and print,. that the Patriot
and Union is determined to oppose, not only the
administration of a Republican President, but
the efforts of every man, be he Democrat or
Republican, who honestly strives to fight down
rebellion. If a man merely enters the army
for the emoluments which are derived from its
positions of command, and if he can manage to
be at home on leave, ostensibly as a rheumatic
patient, but really as a brawling town pollti
'ciao, lounging through the bar-rooms of the
city ; if this can be managed shrewdly, and
when the Colonel in command falls bravely at
the head of his regiment, if the rheumatic pati
ent can suddenly recover and harry forward to
take possession of theregiment after battle has
thinned its ranks, because promotion is in
purport—if all this can be done, the Patriot has
no word of complaint. But let Democrat or
Republican labor honestly to crush tires rebellion,
or put forth all their strength to throttle trea
son, and a mistake of Insignificance or any
magnitude occur, at once the Patriot howls of
imbecility and incompetency. What other
proof of its treasonable sympathies will this
community next demand. From an open ap
plauder of traitors to a direct denunciation of
loyal men, the next move in this infamous
career, if it is not speedily arrested, will be in
the footsteps of its prototypes Schnable, Breck
enridge & Co.
THE MOTHER OF WASHING2OIf.
The order of Gen. McDowell, directing that
the troops under his command should complete
the tomb of • the Mother of 'Washington, will at
once command the admiration and the applause
of the-world. This Americ matron died at
Fredericksburg, Va., 1789, and her remains
have ever since been suffered to repose, un
fionored by tomb or monument. For fifty
years Virginia and the country permitted these
honored remains to rest, as it were, in dam
rity ; and only in 1833 wait a proposition made
by the " chivalry" to mark the tomb of Mary,
the mother of Washington. But that proposition
never amounted to anything more than the
common boast which signalises all the preten
sions of the brainless up-starts of the Old Do
minion, and now we have the announcement
that the troops attached to a division of the
federal army, have been stopped in their victo
rious progress to finish the tomb of Mary, the
mother of Washington. While the troops under
Jackson are assassinating our 'soldiers in the
hospitals of Winchester while the tobacco
warehouse at Richmond, seething with filth
and horrible with disease, echoes to the groans
of our dying and neglected men; prisoners of
war while loyal hearthstones run red with
the hlood of loial Virginians—while the torch
is applied totowns that refuse to renounce their
allegiance to the Old .Flag—while plantations
are being desolated and the products of the
earth consigned to flames—in the midst of this
horrible work of beings more like demons than'
like men—the world is asked to contemplate
the labor of those now assembled around the
tomb of the mother of Washington. • Tile drum
and the bugle are hushed. The tramp of war
and invasion is stopped. The sword of the
avenger is sheathed—and there, actuated by
the holiest feelings and admiration, we find the
soldier mechanic engaged in a work at once
noble and sublime. At that tomb of departed •
virtue those soldiers will gather fresh valor'
and find new energy for their holy warfare ;
and as their labors expand and rise in a mo
ment over the ashes of Ametica'a noblest
matron, they, too will be commemorating not
only the humanity and genius of 'the north,
but they will transmit to other ages and raCett
a lesson In warfare wbich mtult very soon make
War itself nnneceseary.
DANES
The name of Dawes Is familiar to every reader
It, the countri , as the individual who managed
to secure a seat In Congress by representing
himself to be a gentleman of principle and an
American of loyalty. He was scarcely warm
in his ch•iir, before he began to oist about for
speculation; coneuming the.time he was sworn
to devote to the business of the country, to the
interests of railroad Corporationsovhoge Attorney
he was,and when he failed In his mean sttempts
to levy black mail in the shape of contracts on
the commissary and ordnance bure4us of the
War Department, he turned the vials of his
spleen on Gen. Cameron, the then Secretary of
War. Notwithstanding the embarrassing po
sition of the country, and the daily danger of
foreign intervention, based on the want of faith
of foreign governments in the ability of the
national authorities to put down rebellion,
this man Dawes labored to increase that dan
ger by false charge's against the War Depart
ment of inability and corruption. At the time
these charges were made, Dawes knew that he
was lying, yet from his seat In Congress, he
persisted in their iteration, simply to gratify
the hatred engendered against General
Cameron, because the War Department had
frustrated the plans of Dawes and his friends'
literally to deplete the treasury. Those
charges have long since been manfully met and
exploded—but the sequel of the career of Dawes
has just been accomplished, and he now stands
before the country, not , only a convicted falsifier
but an admitted betrayer of .the interests and
the principles of his constituents. On the vote
for confiscation, _Dawes recorded himself against that
measure—against it when he knew that his Massachu
, nits constituents were sourniniously in its favor. This
is a fitting end for Dawes. He commenced his
Congressional career like a blackguard. He
ends it as a betrayer of his constituents and
I Republicanism. Gratifying conclusion for
Dawes. -
Hon'. Jonx Rows on Junoi Ross, the former
of Franklin and the latter of Lucerne county,
two of the most influential and respectable men
in the Union, Immediately on their heariug of
the summons of the War Department, calling on
the Governor of Pennsylvania for additional
supplies of troops, to meet what was then
considered a moat pressing emergency, hastened
to Harrisburg. for the purpose of each offering
to Gov. Curtin the services of a large number
of men. They were authorisad to come. to the
state capital 'by the loyal men of their loyal
districts, but they had scarcely performed their
delegated duly before their presence was dis
covered by one of the slimy agents of the
Patriot, and at once that engine of . vituperation
and abuse4ris
.. pet into' oPeitition to defame
not only these' gentlemen personally, but to
cast reproach and disgrace upon the patriotic
work they had undertaken. Mr. Brady of
course cannot guard his docris against the
entrance of blackguards and whisky spongers,
at all times, but he should .at least manage,
for the reputation of his now deservedly popu•
lar hotel, that his parlors are not invaded by
common pimps and eaves droppers, for the
purpose of assailing his guests and destroying
the character of his hotel. As for the attacks
of the Patriot on M6Blslll. Rowe and Boss, the
public will appreciate its, motive when they
understand that both these gentlemen are loyal
Democrat/ ; and to be a loyal Democrat, Is to
despise and oppose the dique Which the Patriot
represents. Hence its abuse.

"Truth is Mighty and Must Prevail."
Yesterday, Hon. Goliath& A.. Grow, Speaker
of the House of Representatives, and the Presi
dent of the Senate, Hon. Hannibal Hamlin,
laid respectively before those bodies the follow
ing special message from the President of the
United States. It is with feelings of peculiar
gratification (if not exultation) that we lay
this document before our readers, reserving
the comments which It suggests and demands
for a future issue of the Tazatommi:
Weiseworm, May 26,1862
To the Senate and Rouse of Rsonaletaativee
The insurrection which is yet existing in the
United States, and alms at the overthrow of the
Federal Constitution and the Union, was clan
destinely prepared during the winter of 1860
and 1861, and assumed an open organization in
the form of a treasonable provisional govern
meat at Montgomery, in Alabama, on the 18th
day of February, 1861. On •the 12th day of
April, 1861, the insurgents committed the fla
grant act of civil wariby the bombardment and
capture of Fort Sumter, which cut off the hope
of immediate conciliation.
Immediately afterward all the roads and
avenues to this city were obstructed, and the
capital was put into the condition of a siege.
The mails in every direction were stopped and
the lines of telegraph cut off by the insurgents,
and military and naval forces which had been
called out by the Government for the defence
of Washington were prevented from reaching
the city by organized and combined treasonable
resistance in the State of Maryland. Theft
was no adequate and effective organization for
the public defence. Congress had indefinitely
adjourned. There was no time to convene
them.
It became necessary for me to choose whether,
using only the existing means, agencies, and
processes whieh Congress had provided, I should
let the Government fall at once into ruin, or
whether, availing myself of the broader powers
conferred by the Constitution in oases of insur
rection, I would make an effort to save it with
all itrkblessings, for the present age and for pos
terity. I thereupon summoned my constitu
tional advisers, the Heads of all the Depart
ments, to meet on Sunday, the 20th day of
April, 1861, at the office of the Navy Depart
ment, and then and there, with their unani
mous concurrence, I directed that an armed
revenue-critter should proceed to sea to afford
protection to the commercial marine, ' and es
pecially the California treasure ships, then on
their way to this coast. I also directed the corn
mandentof this navy-yard it Boston 'to ,purahatte

ted the commandant of the navy-yard at Ph ila
delphla to purebase or charter,and arm an equal
number for the same purpose. I directed the com
mandant at - New York to purchase or charter
and arm an equal number. I directed com
mander Gills to purchaser or charter an arm,
and put to see two other vessels. Similar di
rections were given to Commodore Dupont,
with a view to the opening of passages by water
to and from the capital. directed the several
officers to take the advicei, and obtain the aid
and efficient services tn. the matter, of his
Excellency Edwin D. Morgan, the Governor of
New York, or, in his absence, George D. Mor
eau, Wm. M. Everts, R. M. Btatchford, and
Moses H: Grinnell; who were, by directions,
especially empowered by the Secretary of the
Navy actefor hitedepartixient in that crisis,
io matters pertaining to the forwarding of
troops and supplies for the public defence. On
the slime occasion I directed that 3ov. Morgan
and Alexander Cumininge; of the city
of New York, should be authorized by
the Secretary of War, General Cameron, to,
make all the necessary arrangements for this
transportation of troops and munitions of war
in aid and assistance of the officers of the army
of the United States until communication by
mails and-telegraph should be completely TO
established between the cities of Washington!
and New York. No security was required to be
given by them, and either of them was author
ized to act in case of :inability to copsnit with
the other. On the same occasion I authorized
and directed the Secretary of the Treasury to
advance, without requiring security, two mil
lions of public money to John A. Dix, George
Opdyke, and Richard M. Blatchford, of New
York, to be used by them in meeting such re
quisitions es should be directly consequent upon
the military and naval measures necessary for
the defence and support of the Government, re

at that time contained so large a number of
disloyal persons, that it would have been im

alty and patriotism. The several orders issued
up n these occurrences were transmitted by
private messengers who punued A circuitous

tbus confided, without authority of law, to un
official persons,_ was either lost or wasted.
although appreirenvions of such misdirection
occurred to me as objections to those extraor
dinary proceedings, and were necessarily over
ruled.
I recall these transactions now because my
attention has been directed to a resolution that
was passed by the House of Representatives on
the 80th of last month, which is in these
words:
"Resolved, That Simon Ctuneron, late Secre
tary of War, by investing Alex. Cummings
with the control of the public money, and au
thority to purchase military supplies, without
restriction, without requiring from him any
guaranty for the faithful performance of his
duties, when the services of competent public
officers were available, and by involving the
Government in a vast number of contracts with
persons not legitimately engaged in the busi
ness pertaining to the subject matter of such
contracts, especially lathe purchase of arms for
future delivery, has adopted a policy highly
injurious to the public service, and deservesthe
censure of this House."
Congress will see that I should be wanting
equally in candor and in justice if I should
leave the censure expressed in this resolution
to rest exclusively or chiefly upon Mr. Came
ron. The same sentiment Is unanimously en
tertained by the Heads of. Depaitments, who
participated in the prooetedings which the
Howe of Representatives has censured. It is
due to Mr. Cameron tothat, al th ough he
fully approved the p roceedings, they were not
moved nor sugg- sled by himself ; and that not
only the President, but all the other Heads of
Departments, were at least equally reeponsible
with him for whatever errors, wrong or fault
was committed in the premises.
