HARRISBURG, PA.
Tuesday Afternoon, June 210862,
Wno Ana TIFLAITOII3? is a question propound
ed by the Minor's Journal, as it asks the people
to look around and reply to the following in
terrogatories : Who are disunionista? Who
are traitors ? Who glory in the prophecy that
our brave soldiers will die of like rotten sheer ?
Whose faces are wreathed in smiles when our
army meets with a reverse like Bull Run, Ball's
Bluff, or the retreat of Banks ? Who call Parson
Brownlew a profane blackguard ? Who sym
pathise with the Southern States in their seces
sion principles? Are they not Breckinridge
Democrats? In the South every Mall must be
for the South and the Rebellion, or die ; here
open and secret enemies flourish and flaunt
treason with impunity. Thank God, though,
that all Democrats are not against the Union,
the Constitution and the suppression of the
rebellion. Thousands of them at borne and in
the army are noble and patriotic, and they will
receive the grateful thanks of a loyal people.
But in this catagory of true and loyal Demo•
mats, we do not include the Buchanan's, Reed's
Vallandigham's and Barret's. Their hearts
and prayers are with Jefferson Davis and his
slave confederacy. Glen. McClellan, Gen. But
ler, Gen. Burnside, Gen. Halleck, Gen. Dix,
Gen. Sickles, Col. Corcoran, and hundreds of
others are the loyal Democrats, not harpies
who stay at home and try to sow discord and
discont , nt among the people, that the next
Squire or Constable elected may be one of their
kind of Democrats !
THE PITTSBURG DESPATCH, a week or two
since, took us to task fur certain strictures on
the Pittsburg Post, contained in an article pub
lished in the TELEGRAPH. The Dispatch was
very anxious to show that we were wrong, and
yet the Dispatch is now laboring with an ability
for which it is justly distinguished, to show
that the Post is guilty of the crimes which we
laid to its charge. Our rule and faith is always
to put down a man in the category of traitors,
who seeks to render odious every opposition to
Slavery. Whenever we hear a man bellowing
against "abolitionists," and comparing them to
secessionists, we regard him as one of those
who only wait a favorable opportunity to aid
rebellion and strike a blow at that government
for the destruction of which treason has armed
the mobs of the south. The Pittsburg Post is
among such as these, and the Pittsburg Despatch
is fast discovering the truth on the subject.
GENERAL BUTLER'S impartiality in the admin
istration of law in New Orleans is of the strict
est kind. While he hangs a rebel who cuts
down the federal flag, he does not hesitate to
inflict the same penalty upon a federal naval
officer who commits depredations upon rebel
property. fehile he forbids the circulation of
confederate money, he compels the banks to
redeem confederate deposits in legal currency.
Laying down the sword to resume for the mo
ment the part of the lawyer, he defines the le
gal aspect of the currency question, and when
he has accomplished 'that task proceeds to set
new lessons to the people of the city in morals
and good manners. He is the riot man in the
right place.
Witt ORE OF OUR Lancaster city contempo
raries inftam the editor of the Lancaster
Intel
ligencer that the negroes who cut the grass on
the capitol grounds, and about whom the Pa
triot became so virtuously indignant, were em
ployed by a Democratic citizen of Ilarrisburg , who
Tad purchased the grass on those grounds. The Pa
triot never had the candor to make this ex
planation, after it had referred to the negroes
thus engaged, and attempted to use the fact for
political purposes.
Tara libratnlis correspondent of the Cincin
nati Comma-621 reports that there is a strong
effort now made in that region to prove that
the people of the northwest sympathize with
the south more than they do with the inhabi
tants of the eastern states. If the war lasts a
year longer, they say, the whole northwest
will be Tal ged against their brethren of the
other northern states. They point to the recent
manifestoes of "Democratic" members of Con
gress to show the ground of their confidence.
BRAVE ESCAPE OF A SLAVE FROM CUBA.—The
brig E. Drummond, from Aspinwall, which ar
rived at New York yesterday, picked up a slave
from Havana on the 16th instant, when 180
miles from land. He escaped from Havana,
and had been six days in a canoe without food
or water. Be speaks but little English, and
says he came from Africa to Havana in a slaver
about two months ago.
ON Trts 4th of March, 1861, when President
Lincoln was inaugurated, the government ves
sels, available for service, were only four in
number, carrying twenty five guns. Our navy
now consists of 264 vessels of -It sizes, carrying
2 557 guns, with an aggregate tonnage of
318,016 tons. The number of seamen now em
ployed is 22,000.
Tag CONTERENCE Cowmen of Congress on
the tax bill, have agreed that no goods on
hand should be taxed after the present year;
and that the act should go into effect on the
Ist of August next. At the same meeting of
the conference it was finally agreed to make a
report in favor of suspending the direct tax for
two years.
STAND FROM UNDER.—The following para
graph is from the Nashville, (Tenn.,) Union—
not from a Massachusetts paper :
"The rebels who were the prime movers in
the rebellion are the loudest to complain that
sl a very is being injuied by the war, keep your
fingers from under our trip-hammer, then.
The federal army has no time to catch a rebel's
nogroes, and ought not, if it had time."
THE UNION IN INDIANA.
The people of the State of Indiana a6i.embled
in grand mass convention, in the city of Indi
anapolis, on Wednesday morning last, for the
purpose of nominating a Union State Ticket,
and adopting a platform upon which every
man in the state of Indiana could stand in de
fence of the national government. There was
the utmost harmony between the Democracy
and Republicans present on the occasion, prov
ing that all good citizens who have the inter
est of the country at heart, were willing to lay
aside party for the present, and that it was only
the sympathizing wing of the Democracy,
which now stood in the way of the complete
success of the struggle for the Union. Gov.
0. P. Morton presided, and on taking the chair
delivered an eloquent speech in favor of tl e
movement thus organized. ,He was followed
by other speakers, Republican and Democrats,
all of whom were equally spirited and eloquent.
The following are the nominations of the meet
ing for state officers of Indiana:
Secretary of State,
WILLIAM A. PEELE, (Rep.)
treasurer of State,
JONATHAN S. HERVEY, (Rep.)
Auditor of state,
ALBERT LANGE, (Rep.)
Attorney General,
DELANEY E. WILLIAMrON, (Der )
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
JOHN L. MORRISON, (Dem.)
After the completion of the ticket, the com
mittee on resolutions reported the following,
which were received with immense cheering :
WHEREAS, The National Government is en
gaged in a war waged against it by its enemies
for the avowed purpose of its destruction, and
the subversion of our Republican form of Gov
ernment ; therefore,
Resolved, That the present civil war was forced
upon the country by the disunionist@ in the
Southert States, who are now in rebellion
against the Constitutional Government; that in
the present national emergency, we the people
of ludiana in Convention assembled, forgetting
all former political differences, and recollecting
only our duty to the whole country, do pledge
oureelvea to aid with men and money, the
vigorous prosecution of the present war, which
is net being waged upon the part of our Gov
ernment for the purpose of conquest, subjuga
lion, or the overthrowing, or the interfering
with, the rights or established institutions of
any of the States, but to suppress and put down
a wicked and causeless rebellion, defend and
maintain the supremacy of the Constitution,
and to preserve the Union as established by our
patriot fathers, with all the dignity and rights
of the several States unimpaired ; and when
these objects are fully accomplished, and not
before, we believe the war ought to cease ; and
that we invite all who coincide in these senti
ments to unite with us in support of the ticket
this day nominated.
Resolved, That we demand and expect of our
Executive and Legislative bodies, both State
and National, an economical administration of
Governmental affairs, and the punishment of
fraud against the overnment, as well as a
fearless discharge of their duties.
Resolved, That as long as patriotism, courage
and love of constitutional liberty, shall be hon
ored and revered among the people of the
United States, the heroic conduct of the sol
diets of the Union, who have offered their lives
for the salvation of their country, will be re
membered with the most profound feelings of
veneration and gratitude ; and that we now
tender to them the warmest thanks and last
ing gratitude of every member of this Con
vention.
Resolved, That we tender to the 60,000 volun
teers from Indiana our heartfelt congratula
tions, and hail with pride the fact, that upon
every battle-field where Indianians have been
found, they have displayed the bravery of pa
triots in defense of a glorious eause, and we
pledge them that while they are subduing
armed traitors in the field, we will condemn,
at the ballot-box, all those in our midst who
are not unconditionally for the Union.
The resolutions were adopted amid great cheer
ing, after which the Convention adjourned.
QUARTERMASTER MEYERS, of Gen. M'Dowell's
staff, states that when thousands of our troops
were in a half starving condition, mit, account
of the delay in transportation of subsistence,
he found sutlers with their poisonous stores,
which they sold at enormous profits at Front
Royal, occupying the front cars upon each train.
Becoming indignant that such privileges should
be allowed, Major Meyers seized one of thes,
sutlers, and compelled him to show his pass for
the transportation of his goods. The sutler
turned pale and trembled, but at last pulled from his
pocket a receipt for $26 frcm an official, who, upan
the payment V that amount, gave him the front car
and allowed him to fill it with whatever he pleased.
The presumption is that this " official" pock
eted the money, as no one has yet learned that
the government have gone into the transporta
tion business for profit. The sick and half
starved privates are the ones who suffer chiefly
from these frauds. The name of this specs
lative "official" ought to be given to the
public.

LovE's LABOR WON. By Hrs. Emma D. E. N.
Southworth.. Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson Sc
Brother
Mrs. Southworth has excelled all her other
efforts in this work. We regard it as the best
in the whole range of her other productions.—
The story is intensely interesting, and abounds
in all the excellencies of its author's vivid and
picturesque genius. The characters are not
merely names represented in word clothing;
but existences that live and move before us in
the minds eye, each acting in accordance
with their peculiar nature. In fact, Love's Labor
Won can be justly regarded as an improvement
on Shakespear's Love's Labor Lost, as well in
character as in conception, in romance, and that
near approach to reality, which is the greatest
charm of the novelist.

Tan FLIRT ; or Passages in the Life of a Fashion
able Young Lady. By Mrs. Grey. Philadelphia:
7'. B. Peterson Sf Brothers.
The follies and deceits peculiar to the circle
of fashion, whose beauty of form, and not
beauty of mind, sentiment and heart, are
worshipped, were never more faithfully por
trayed than they are in the work on our table.
,jr. Grey is .a keen and a close observer of so
ciety. She has evidently mingled with its vota
ries in all its circles, so that she folly under
stands the springs by which it is moved and
the influences by which its members are ever
controlled. he Flirt will add to the already
great reputation of the anther as a novelist and
a romancer.

The Mexican Extradition Treaty
APPLICATIONS FOR PASSES
A. RES Eli SCHOONER ENTRAPPED.
IMPORTANT ORDER Atom THE WAR DE
The treaty between the United States and
Mexico, for The extradition of criminals, is offi
cially proclaimed. The offences are confined
to the principal accessories or accomplices, as
to murder, assassination, piracy, forgery, eosin
terfeiting, larceny, etc., and k &tapping—the
last being defined as the taking and carrying
away , 1 a free person by force or deception.—
The provisions of the treaty are not applied in
any manner to any crime or offence of a purely
political character, nor do they embrace the
return of fugitive slaves.
The Secretary of War, to-day ordered that
all application for passes and permits for per
sons m property, within the lines of the United
States forces, shall hereafter be made to Brig.
General Wadsworth, Military Governor of the
District of Columbia, and subject to such terms
and conditions as he may prescribe.
The Navy Department has received dispatches
stating that on the night of the 7th lust. the
schooner Romena, formerly the Garibaldi, sev
enty boas burthen, built opposite New Orleans,
ran into Stone river and anchored near the en
trance, not knowing it to be in our possession.
She was therefore a prisoner, we having seven
gunboats in that vicinity. She was last from
Nassau, and had a cargo of lead and a few
shoes. She was taken by the Pawnee, and sent
to Philadelphia.
The following order has just been issued from
the War Department :
The Secretary of War is of the opinion that
the act to prevent and punish fraud on the part
of officers entrusted with the making of con
tracts, on the part of the government approved
June 2d, 1862, applies only to such contracts
as under the laws and regulations in force at
the time of its passage were required to be in
writing. The execution of the act in any
other sense is utterly impracticable, and an at
tempt otherwise to enforce it would everywhere
instantly arrest the operation of all our forces.
It is therefore ordered that all contracts which
by the present regulations are prescribed to be
made in writing, shall hereafter be made in
quintuplicate, of which four shall be disposed
of according to such regulation, and one shall
be sent by the officer making and signing the
same to return to the office of the Department
of the Interior within thirty days after the
contract is made, together with all the prnpo
gals, and a copy of any advertisement pub
lished by him touching the same attched and
verified in the manner required by the act
above specified.

teaches to the North, showing that efforts and

be won hack to the Union. The hopes of an
early solution must be dispelled, and, in the
meantime, increasing debts arid mutual hatred
tend to make a new Union more and more im
