paity Etle9rao THE CREDIT 01 THE STATE. TER PROMPT PAYMENT OP THE DIRECT TAX We alluded yesterday to the fact, that the State Treasurer, Hon. Henry D. Moore, had paid to the Assistant Treasurer of the United States, the'sum of three hundred and fifty thous and dollars, as a final settlement of the state's proportion of the war tax. By the act of Con gress, August 6, 1861, the tax levied on the people of Pennsylvania amounted to $1,948,- 719 88. By the same act, a deduction of fif teen per cent. was authorized to be made for the prompt payment of this tax, so that a saving is had to the state by this liquidation, of some $292,007 90. Nor is this all. The payment ou the 14th inst., of the three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, embraced an overplus of , $126,000 to meet the contingency of any diffi culty in the settlement of bills paid for the gen eral government , by the state. We refer these facts to the tax-payers of Pennsylvania, as rebutting testimony on, the charge that a Republican administration.' is squandering the public moneys. Here we have ttie hill amount of our proportJon of the nation al taxes, paid—paid promptly at a saving' of some $292,007 96, and at the same time, with this prompt liquidation, we have now an over plus of $125,000 in the'hands of the Assistant Treasurer of the United States. These figures present the evidence of the exercise of the utmost vigilance iu'the management of the fi nance of the state, reflecting great credit thus on Hom'Henry D. Moore. They also present the fact of the internal prosperity of the common wealth, and. develop° the •immense resources which the people of Pennsylvanit have at their command-' With over a hundred and fifteen thousand men in the field, with some of our . most active and enterprising men directly en gaged in the war, with the genius and talent of our people, as it were, leading in the same seredit remains unimpaired and our financial ability is the same as when peace blessed, every man with hope, and gave to in dustry an energy that seemed almost invinci ble. We want our cotemporaries of the Republican press to , keep these facts before the people. Let it be known all over the commonwealth and all over the Union, that the credit and resources of Pennsylvania, are greater and more Inex haustible under a Republican admirdatra.tto n _ during times of war, than they ever were du-, ring Democratic misrule, when peace lent its aid to prosper the people. LiIIIMMNAMT COLOHNI. THOMAS C. MAODOWELL; of the 84thaiegiment P. V., has resigned—his resignation having been tendered just before the late battle of Strasburg. The tone of the Patriot, for a day or two, seemed to indicate this resignation, as it has been teeming with attacks on loyal men, and if our readers will remember, in the issue of the Patriot a few days' since, it was also urged that soldiers should lay down their arms and citizens refuse to pay their taxes; Since this - re.ignation, the course of the Patriot may be predicted with certainty. The . citizens of Winchester, Va., will re grieved to: hear the, fact of ltiacDowell's resignation, as they esteemed him very highly for the privi leges.and favors he bestowed upon them, while Provost Marshal of that vicinity ; compelling, his Own . men to submit to inconveniences, that the rebels of Winchester might be benefited or pleased. The citizens of Berryville, the county seat of Clark county, Va., vuted MacDowell their hearty thanks for like favors. It will be recollected that Berryville only cast two vote against the ordinance of Virginia secession. While referring to tLis subject, we may as well state that during our conversation with the rebel prisoners, last night, one of them boasted of the favor shoim them by the Lieut enant Colonel of the Ei,ghty-fourth Pennsylva nia regiment. He had released several of their fellow-prisoners, taken at the battle of Win, chaster, without a parole and without authori ty ; who had rejoined their regiments, one of them, named Barnett, being a member of the same cempany and regiment to which our in formant was attached, and , engaged in the pur suit of Backe. He was with the regiment when our informant was captured, and declared that he did not care if he was also taken prisoner again, provided he fell into Lieutenant Colonel fdacDowell'e hands, as he then would be all right. Who`will doubt IdaeDowelPs claim to public consideration and retirerneat. He is a hero, and should be acoordingly honored I TSta 'Swam Gauen has decided to maintain its position with the raggiunuffuss at Camp Curtin, and to accomplish this, it sacrifices what little pretensions it ever made to loyalty, by abusing, this morning, an object which it presumes to be an organisation, for the defence of the Union. Yesterday we convicted the Arra of Barret A. MacDowell sellers, to -day we ezpoih them as hypocrite., :truly, a wonderful awietion is this firm of the Patriot—one party, like Atnenadab Sleek, with piety swelling through .all his pores, and the other, like Bob Acres, rtith;Politage oozing from his finger ends.

By means of a lass, ad had an opportunity yesterday evening of mingling among and conversing with the seccsh prisoners now in Camp Curtin. The information we derived from this privilege, is not the most important, nor would any description we could write of the prisoners be the most profitable which our read ers would desire to peruse. There is not a man among these -prisoners, who, while be shows a resentment to the people of the free states, fully understands any other fact but the stern truth of his imprisonment. - The majority of the prisoners are young men—mere boys, when we estimate their ability to appreciate any cause, good or bad. They took up arms, be cause it was popular to do so when they enlisted. They went into battle because they imagined that victory•wonld be easily achieved, ThiQ is the sentiment of many of the secesh now in Camp Curtin. Others of them boldly avowed a bitter hatred thr the• government :feign to be disgusted with its authority, and even in their imprisonment, delight in declaring their con tempt for itepower. Stich as these confess that the south was deceived into the war by the dough-faces of the north. They exclaimed with. bitterness- that, .northern opposition to slavery first prompted the south to treason, and that the promise of northern aid and, support was their first inducement to revolt. Had northern dough-faceism.beett as true to the smith as it was heretofore servile and cringing to its, political leaders, this rebellion would have been ended six months since in Its com plete triumph. With one of the shrewdest and most malignant of the prisoners, this was a serious thought, and seemed to delight in the reflection that ter the perfidy of the north, the south would add-to northern labering men, mil lions of debt,' bankruptcy in trade, loss of credit in merchandising, want of confidence in commerce, and every act which the'rashness and the rebellion of a people could produce. "1 have no fear, sir, for the ultimate success of the rebellion," was the declaration of this man. "We could procure peace, now, if we desired such a disgrace," he continued, ,"but we have other objects hi view than our own Indepen dence. Weintend to bankrupt the north and prostrate free labor. We intend-to prolong this war until 'the Congressional elections comes . off, when our old friends, the dough-faces, are expected to elect a majority of Representatives in Cougress r and then look out for Jonathan. If entisylvania can be induced to send a majority of such men as Biddle and Ancona ; if Ohio will elect'a delegation of Vallandighams ; if Indian decides to give us true men like Voorhes, and if the other northern states do their duty,he our friends in those localities promised they are de termined to do, when electon day comes off, the South need no longer battle, as the fight will be taken off of its hands by the dough-tam. Jeff Davis understands this, and therefore he is leading the yankees a wild goose chase. Ali that our leaders want Is the tax gathers tog') among the people-of the north, before the elec tion, and then there will some probability arise That old Jeff may be _permitted to take-ille Christmas dinner in Washington, as a solace for the disappointment in not having been able to Cline in that city last 4th of ' Such was at least the spirit of- this conversation, if it Is not the exact-language. We believe that a majority of the prisoners in Camp Curtin would take the oath of alle giance to-day, if the opportunity were affordod. How many of that number would be faithfufto that oath, we will not venture to assert posi tively. It might last until they found them selves as prisoners or voluntarily in the power of secesh, and it might be proof against all persecution and temptation. Certainit is,,tliat these men do not deport themselves, like col diem who are debarred from fighting Ina cause which.they adore. Thosewho assume the air of the braggart and the blackguard; do so ima Pitifill spirit of spite and the consciousness that they are among men, who are above the small resentments and brutal persecutions which have disgraced the conduct of the southern rebels towards our own, people while prisoners in trai tor camps. And such as these deserve only the common consideration which villainy -and treachery merit when;in the power of that laW which they have outraged. • AN IitaTERIALEN.7 WORM REPEATING.

Wenteotiaeltlinning, June 18, 1862, CON?ARISONB OF PARIiWiIit*NLOW. At the reception of Parson Brownlow, in Philadelphia, on Friday evening last, he de livered one of his characteristic speeches. which was worthy of the occasion, and worthy of the patriotic cause for which the Parson has made so greats sacrifice. In the course of the plain home spun truth delivered at his reception, Parson Brownlow spoke as follows : You have better men in your Pennsylvania penitentiaries than the leaders of this rebellion, and I know there ate better men in hell I We are in the midst of a fearful war, begotten without the shadow of excuse, into which we have been plunged by demagogues and scoun drels at the south, •i Yon have a class here at e North who are. agitators, and who, in their denunciationa or slavery, have done more harm to the slaves than good. Not Withstanding this, I havethe, frankness of *candid Itan to,say thatat is Wer of the South; and you of the North, that are guilty of bringing this trouble up on : us, and the devil will be cheated out of his just rights until he has the- pleasure =of roasting these , leaders in hell. lam here to state the truth and cast censure where it belbngs. Io 1860 we entered into a Presidential contest, Which was a sort of fonrhorse race. I supported the Bell and Everett ticket. We were unsuccess ful, and the leader of that ticket has gone the way of his section, and under threats of vio lence, made speeches against his convictions. I can only ask you to. "pity the sorrows , of a poor old man." The other member of my ticket is "right side up with care," and a firm friend of the Union. ' I may call the ticket I supported a kangaroo ticket which had its strength in its hind legs. Others of you sup- Ported the Dougla s and Johnson ticket; the leader of which 'watt a gallant little man, who, had he been alive, would' long ago have been flourishing in battle as a brigadier. Other* of you, again, adhered to the meanest ticket that ever was created. Many of yon here voted fur it, and you ought, to-night, to be heartily ashamed of doing so. The last of these tickets was known as that of Lincoln and. Hamlin. If the telegraph has not brought you the news, I have the exquisite pleasure to announce that ticket' as successful. At this fair and constitutional election the South chose to rebel. With the Zit'. Horace Maynard, on my left, Andrew Johnson, and others, we fought the Devil and Tom Walker in the persons of the rascally ISt:cession leaders,. and we'll follow them to the death, and, as they enter the gates of hell, we mean to stand there and make mouths at them. . In forty-eight hours atter the election I came out in my paper, the Knoxville Whig, Which, though not white with its piety, was the only religious sheet in the Southern Confederacy. I asserted in that paper that Abraham. Lincoln was legally elected ae President, and that supported him, and that if, at the end of four years, we did not like him, we had only to pick our flints and try it again. But the un principled leaders of this Rebellion had intend ed, if successful with their Breckinridge and Lane ticket, to remain but four years longer in the Union and then secede. During that period they proposed fortifying various parts of the South, concentrating nearly all , the arms of the Union in that sec tion, and after being thoroughly prepared, strive for a seperation, should the succeedlog election terminate unfavorably. The unprin cipled scoundrels, the lir:swan-dating Raven-. gars, fully intended this, backed by thtir tate Breckinridge, now the greatest druok4rd in the South . Theydid not - meet cornmtnise. They meant, at all events, oltimatelY*lP se cede and set up for themselves. ; Pryor "We can get the Crittenden Compromise, but we don't intend to have it nor any other. We ; are bound to dissolve the Union. We are in for a fuss particularly, and a fuss generally." They have got the "fuss, and and I hope we will not cease until we e xterminate them.
