HARRISBURG, PA
Wednesday Morning, June ii, 1862.
CONGRESS is a very important part of the
government, and some of the shrewdest mem
bers of the fienate and House consider it to be
exceedingly unwise for it to adjourn during
the continuation of the present war, except for
a short recess. Not a month has elapsed since
the opening of the present session, in which
an important public question has not arisen
from the events developed by the war, and
Congress has exercised its right and its duty
to the people by using its influence and power
in deciding the question. While such is the
feeling and conviction of some members of
Congress, others exprtae a strung desire to
adjourn the session, that they may be enabled
to mingle with their constituents, and ascer
tain as far is possible the sentiment by which
they are controlled in relation to the policy to
be pursued in contending with rebellion. Other
members are also anxious to be at home, to
canvass for the coming Congressional elections.
It is this fact that will carry any proposition to
adjourn, in the House.
A GREAT RIMIER or OFFICERS and soldiers are
absent, upompreteuee of being. sick, from their
regiments, idling away their time in northern
towns and cities. The army is on the eve of
decisive battles, when every man should be at
his post. Let citizens ask of such persons the
cause of their absence from the army, and if
the reason be nut satisfactory, shun them as
unworthy associates and a disgrace to the uni
form they appear in.
The above is a Washington telegraphic dis
patch. No doubt there are many soldiers and
officers among those now at home who are inca
pacitated b y sickness, but a great many more
are now able and ought to be with their regi
ments. To remedy the matter, we observe that
commanding officers are issuing orders whereby
these who delay, without reason, to return to
the army, will be sti kitten from the rolls as de
serters. We hope this policy will have the de
sired effect.
BRION X. BLAIk, former member of the Leg
islature from Huntingdon county, is spoken of
as a candidate for Congress from the district of
which that county forms a portion. Since the
death of Cot. Wharton, who was regarded as
the most prominent candidate for Congress in
that district, we believe that Mr. Blair leads all
the other men spoken of in the same connec
tion. He is certainly a man of great ability
and experience as a legislator, and one too emi
nently qualified by his patriotism and knowl
edge of the wants of that district .to make a
distinguished and useful representative. With
out
pretending to Interfere in the preferences of
our friends in any of the Congressional dis
tricts of the state, we would be gratified to
hear of Mr. Blair's nomination, because it
would be tantamount to a brilliant victory in
that district, for the cause of the Constitution,
the Union and Republicanism.
THE AMERICIAW RAILWAY REYIEW is very
anxious for a cheaper and more direct route
from New York to Washington, than tbat
which is afforded by the Camden and Amboy
road, via Philadelphia and Wilmington to
Baltimore and thence to the federal capitol.
If the Railroad Review will for a moment con
alder, the ,fact will appear plain' that such a
route is afforded by the Lebanon Valley road
hence over the Northern Central to Baltimore
and thence to Washington. These roads are
in the best running condition, capable of any
amount of work, so that the suggestion to
raise means for the building of additional
roads same like the attempt to induce'tho in
vestment of funds which can be illy spared by
government, and which is unnecessary when
these roads are now carrying freight and pas
!tangent cheaper than the government could do,
had it charge of all the roads in the country.
Tun HOSPITALS heretofore in charge of Slug.
Gen. Smith, and which were devoted exclu
sively to the care of sick and wounded Penn
sylvanians, have been, by order of Gov. Curtin,
turned over to the control and direction of the
Surgeon General of the 'United States Army .
Stag. Gen. Smith suggested this change, as
conducive to the health and recovery of the
soldiers in such hospitals, so that the transfer
hes not been made without a due regard for
the interests of all concerned. So far as ispos
table, the Medical Staff of the state will continue
to contribute to the health and care of the men
thus transferred, whenever their services may
be demanded.
A Ihstorat DEMAGOGUE is thus described by
the sturdy senator from Ohio, Ben Wade, who
says that the danger to our institutions is not
so great From traitors in the field, with arms in
their hands, as it is from the nlmble-tongued,
slippery hypocrites who go'forth apologizing,
and countermanding every energetic measure
of the administration as tyrannical and wrong,
and endeavoring to deceive the people and stir
them up to hostility against this wise, this just,
this moat moderate administration.
TER BALTEROII.I AND OHIO RAILROAD is now
open from Baltimore direct to Wheeling, and
the road is once more in good running order,
but how long it will continue in that condition,
remains for the rebels to decide. This road is
indebted to the government for its present
capacity to Wend .to business, and yet its di
rectors refused to pass an order to: administer
an oath of allegiance to he employees.
COTTON BURNING SPITE.
We have all heard of the Duchmau out west
who had been swindled by the illegal issues of
a wild cat bank, and who obtained his revenge
by indignantly destroying the worthless notes
that bad been imposed upon him, before the
eyes of the swindlers. Of like character is the
vindicitive order of the rebel government to
destroy the cotton belonging to the southern
planters, upon which an export duty was pro
vided for the purpose of paying the interest on
Confederate bonds—bonds, which in the onset
could not be issued fast enough to supply the
craving demand of the rebel capitalists, the
patriotic widows and the free negroes who were
desirous of investing their small savings in
them! The cotton crop has nevertheless served
the rebels a good purpose, first as the basis of gov
ernment Credit through the promised export duty
imposed, and then as the basis of credit from the
banks to the planters. First, after pledging the
exportto their bondholders, the government for
bade the shipment of cotton to any port from
which itcould be exported. They nextrelused to
buy the cotton of the planters, and then encour
aged the owners to borrow money upon it of the
bertha ; and now, having used it as security for
government loans, and induced its owners to
use it as security for individual loans, the rebel
rulers have ordered it all to be burnt ! Who
looses ? What becomes of the holders of Con
ftderato bonds who are relying upon the . cotton
export duty for their security ?
TOB APOLOGISTS FOR TRAITORS, who are on
stantly inveighing against what they term the
fanatacim of abolitionism, will find little con
solation in the information brought to this
country by Mr. Tburlow Weed, who has been
in Europe for several months, acting in the ca
pacity of an accredited agent of this govern
ment. While sojourning alternately in Eng
land and Franc*, Mr. Weed discovered and was
opposed by what he considered a most unac
countable antipathy to the interests, genius
and spirit , of the American government. This
feeling was displayed more particularly among
the ruling classes, the aristocracies of both
nations, who took every occasion to impugn
the character of the. American Republic, and
cast reproach and vituperation upon its people.
After patient investigation and inquiry, Mr.
Weed was at length enabled to diso3ver that
the influence which produced this utato of feel
ing, eminated from the ministers and commer
cial agents of this government. The citizen
conversant with the deplomatic and consular
agents of this country, for the last thirty yenta,
will remember that the men tilling those posi
tions were to a great extent from the slave
states. These agents, acting in concert with
the traitors at home, busied themselves in pol
luting the friendly feeling which foreign gov
ernments entertained for the United States,
designing branch an influence to pave the way
for the recognition of the confederacy, when its
projectors had completed their arrangements
for its establishment.
Thus it will be seen that while such men as
Davis, Toombe, Slidell, Breckinridge and their
followers, were concocting treason, and while
Buchanan and his thieving cabinet were rob
bing forts and arsenals, the men sent abroad to
watch the interests of
, thrt
,governatent, were
actually engaged in plansler its overthrow and
destruction. Was there over a more damnable
plot concocted to overthrow liberty? ' It must
be remembered that these foreign agents were
either northern dough faces or southern slave
holders; and that they coincided in their repre
sentations to the aristocracies of the old world.
They based their argument on the plea that
the, north or free states were the natural ene
mies of the powers of Europe. That the manu
facturers of the north were gathering strength
for competition with the manufacturers of
Europe. That the free masses of the north,
made up largely of the emigrants form the vari
ous countries of Europe, were in constant cor
respondence with their former friends, either
for the purpose of inducing them to hasten to
America, or engage at once in revolution at
home. That the interests of the South har
monised with those of the aristocracies of the
old world. That southern slavery was only
the bondage in which all labor should be re-
cognized or patronized. In this inetriner, the
aristocracies and governments of. Europe were
prejudiced against the people and government
of the United States. It was not by the
abolitionists. It was not by the Black Repub-
Beane. It was by the, agents of the govern
ment, receiving their pay from a people whom
they wore sworn faithfully to serve, and at the!
same time conspiring for their disgrace and
destruction. Let the people ponder thew tech;
and ask themselves whether any compromise
should be made with a rebellion so infernann
its sohemes and so hellish in its plans. And
when the dough-faces of the north seek to push
the responsibility of the rebellion upon those
who honestly and consistently opposed slavery,
let the people point to the conspirators as
among those who rested their claims to recog
nition at home and abroad, on the principle
that slavery was the normal and true condi
tion of labor. Let the people, too, point to
that Democracy which encouraged these con
spirators, until Democracy and rebellion be
come synonymous with treason, theft, false
hood, arson and murder.

Jeff Thompson witnessed the naval battle
sitting on hie horse in front of the Gayoso

night. They were killed in a row of their own
getting up.
The citizens, to the number of 2,000, re
ported themselves, armed and equipped, to.the
Provost Marshal the same evening, to prevent
the destruction of property by the mob, which
it seems they feared more than the Federals.
It was expected that the city would be fired,
but the prompt action of the peaceable citizens.
