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

AN HOUR WITH SECESH PRISONERS.
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.

Pennoplramo Wail! 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.

ton States, having taken a solemn oath to, sup

who& were residents of this locality; and there
fore-were no strangers to the roads. At White
House, welch is a rendezvous of sutlers and
venders of small wares, a regular stampede
took plebe. Lieut . —Gil. ngalls, commandant
at that post, had all the corps ordered out, and
posted in, favorable positions to resist any' at
tack that might have been made. " The mail
boat Nellie Baker, which left this morning,
was crowded with bangers-on of the army and
civilians who thought Fort Monroe to be a
more congenial climate: At Old Church the
rebels had in reserve six regiment. of infantry,
with artillery. As seam ai the facts were fully
known pursuit by cavalry was immediately or
dered, but the enemy lowing so. much of a
start, Only five were captured. Several arrests
have been Made 10-day of ,citizerus within our
onatisplcion of having given information
to the enemy.
The Richmond papers - of the 12th instant,
contain a statement that 8,000 prisoners, taken
by Gen. Jackson- from Oen. Banks, left on

:Friday, June 18 •-10r. x.
Tai-day the right wing of the army was at
tackedr by the rebels at a point little antici
pated. It has been known fax . ..several days
that the enemy has been lurking about Hano-
Ter Court House, and a small- force has been
detailed every day to watch 'his movements.
It seems, however, that the rebels became 6¢l
- by the apparent indifference with
Which we kept watch of that sixth - in by not
having a larger force on guard, and s rnade a
bold dash toward our pickets and rear guard,
which was not wholly unsuocessful.
The portion of our force engaged 'was com
panies B, O, Feud H, of the Fifth Unfted•Btates
Cavalry, who have bt en for the past ten days
stationed on pickeg dirty at the Old Church,
which is situated on the main road about mid
way between • Ohickahominy Itridke' and: the
White House.
Rally this morning. compmy F wasaent out
on a scooting expedition to the right. of Han
over road. Company B, and apart of company i
H having been detailed to picket the road
i leading to Hanover Court House ; establishing
a line not far from that place. At about 11
• o'clock the rebels made their appearance and
commenced an attack on our pickets, and suci
ceeded in capturing nearly all of them.
"At about the same time the scot/dog' Party
also fell in with a'large body of rebel ,cavalry,
but did not venture to attack thenktititil rein
forcements should arrive , a messenger having
been sent back. to Oldd. Church to get what force
was remaining there.
The lenemy, however, was not to be•delayed
iri ,his movements, and immediately imade
rush upon our scouts, forcing themto retire,
but on the retreat they were met by Company
F and the remaining .portion of Company
when the combined force turned and engaged
the enemy. -
The rebel force was estimated to be four com
pantos of cavalry, one of infantry and a section
of artillery.
It did not take long to ascertain that the "re
bel force outnumbered that of our own, and
that it woad be useless to attempt to break or
drive them. But our gallant baud was deter
mined to`do the'best they could, and show the
rebels'that they they had a good quality of ,
metal to contend win,* • With this view our
men, under command of Capt. Royal, formed'
In line preparatory to making a dash. At the
'same:moment the raels opened their pieces,
jdiacharging which, the infantry came forward,
:and poured out • a volley of. musketry. The
, cavalry then came on in its turn, the combined
effect-of the whole' camiing our Men t o
" fall
back to:Old Chuch. Thnenemy pursued them
to the camp, reaching which they burned the
tents, and destroyed eierything that would be
be incon'venient to take away with them. They
toOkalew more of our men prisoners. The
Portion of our ;men not captctredlitreated to
the Chickahotniny river, but the rebele•did not
iieemit prudent to continue the pursuit.
During the engagement, Capt. Royal, of com
pany o', was shot through the bead, and twice
through the body. There are hopes, however,
pf his recovery. Lieut. McLane Wait. shot
through the Imad,and left on the Fteld., ; 4e also,
I had severivatee . Shot.
