HARRISBURG, *A
R ednesday Afternoon, July 2,1862,
CONSCIEN7IOUS.
We know of no other word more appropriate
for the heading of a paragraph introducing the
following letter from the Hon. Henry D.
Moore, State Treasurer. The writer, whoever
he may be, has done a noble act, whether be
designed that his tender of $l,OOO should go to
the relief of the defenders of the Union con
tributed by Pennsylvania, or whether he thus
seeks to liquidate an old indebtedness to the
commt nwealth, of which there is no record in
the accounting offices of the state. We trust
that this public acknowledgment of the receipt
of the sum referred to, will add to the pleasure
which the performance of this act of justice
must be to its author:
TEBASURY DER/LET/MT OS PENNSYLVANIA,
Harrisburg, July 1, 1862.
I received an anonymous letter to-day,post
marked " New York, which reads as follows:
" Pass the enclosed to the credit of your noble patriotic
State: 'tis her due." This letter contained a $l,OOO
United States freasuiy note of the legal tender
issue. Whether this thousand dollars came from
one who considered himself indebted that much
to the State, or whether it was sent as a patriotic
gift, I am unable to say ; but in either case, it is
a compliment to our good old Commonwealth,
and I know of no other manner in which 1 can
acknowledge its receipt to my unknown corres
pondent, than by a public announcement of the
same. Yours, &c.,
lENRY D. MOORE,
State Treasurer.

Ous SEGILAI NEIGHBORS must have had anoth
er attack of the "inflamatory," when they
concocted their "Baltimore Correspondence."
Beaten in a very small enterprise, and cha
grined that they were compelled to publish
f acts which had appeared in the TBLIGHAPH
twenty-four hours before, they manufactured a
letter purporting to have been written in Balti
more, that they might again indulge their ly
ing prJpensity and give the government a stab.
The idea held forth by the letter in the Patriot,
that Baltimore is as distiuguirhed for its loyal
ty as any other city in the Union, seems to
have been derived from the fact that its wo
men spit into the faces of Union men, and its
mobs murder, d - northern troops while passing
through that city on their way to the defence
of the national capital. When the pimps who
hang around the Patriot office desire to concoct
another "Baltimore Correspondence," it would
be well for them to be more careful of their
dates and circumstances, so as to give some
color of genuiuess to their efforts. And n hen
the proprietors of the Patriot suffer their sloth
to fall behind the indus.ry of other people,
they should be content with their case and not
disgust the public by the tame explanation
that the news was "contraband." We publish
in our morning edition a full statement of the
cause which induced the imprisonment of Mr.
Fulton. It was not for the publication of any
news, but for the violation of the confidence re
posed in him by the War Department. Will
the Patriot try another dodge to-morrow 4. We
would not be surprised to see it announce a
special correspondent from the rebel capital,
wherever that locality may now have a geo
graphical existence, because it has friends in
rebeldom who would gladly communicate with
their dough free friends through the columns
of the Patriot.
PRESIDENT LINCOLI4'S emancipation policy Is
gaining favor every day among the people
really interested in its objects, and the border
states, however politicians attempt to disguise
the fact, are in favor of it. Every man with
common sense must see , that slave property is
bound to depreciate, whether the confederacy
becomes, a success, or whether it goes to ruin,
which is now certaht. The capital invested in
negroes has already depreciated almost one
half ; and the depreciation will continue until
investment in human flesh becomes as worth
less as stock in an air line to the moon. Those
who oppose emancipation are those who defend
slavery for the political• power with which it
clothes the south, and such as these are mainly
in the rebel army. The limited number of those,
who defend and persist in perpetuating slavery
with all its political evils and social corrup
tions, are fast giving envy to their prejudices,
by taking up arms with the common traitors,
or they are yielding to obey force of public
opinion on the subject, and profess to regard
emancipation as one of the necessities of the
war.
OUT of the 60,000 men sent forth by Indiana
to assist in crushing out the rebellion, it is es
timated that 6,000 have been already lost in
battle, and by casualties and disease. Probably
half as many more, who yet remain in the
service, are permanently disabled by the hard
ships and exposures of military life, and will
ultimately have to be discharged. In calcula
lating the terrible responsibilities of the fathers
of the rebellion, all this must be added to the
account.
Theason IN Canna Conarr.—The Democrats
(so-called) of Chester county held a meeting at
West Chester on Monday, for the purpose of
electing delegates to the (so called) Democratic
State Convention. Speeches were made against
the administration, the wir and emancipation,
and against paying the war taxes. If Fort
Warren or some of the other secure forts of the
country do not have additions to their inmates
shortly, they will be cheated out of their just
dues.
FOREWARNED, FOREARMED!
We have frequently alluded to the feel that
the spirit in which the position of certain pro
minent politicians in this state is maintained,
indicates more than a desire to re-organize what
was once a powerful political organization.—
These Democratic leaders are not merely anxious
to r eorganize the Democratic party, for the
purpose, as a political body, of contending with
treason, and through the influence of certain
principles, seek the correction of the evils
which first prompted the south to revolt. If
this was the object in seeking such a re-organi.
nation, we might possibly discover some good
in the movement, and for the benefit of the
Union, we might be induced to approve such a
purpose. But those who seek a revival of the
Democratic party are as much opposed to the
administration of Abraham Lincoln as Davis
and all his followers, and they seek power fer
the very same purposes for which the south
armed its masses. The achievement of mere
local success, is not the only end, either, 'of the
revival of Democracy, and the people will have
discovered this fact, the moment they lend
themselves to the machinations of the men
now boasting of their conservatism and devo
tion to the Constitution. Let the loyal states
elect a majority of Congressmen opposed politi
cally to the administration of Abraham Lincoln,
and the Congress which they must compose
would Signalize its first act by depriving that
administration of the means to carry. on the
wAr for the Union. Let a Congress of Demo
crats be organized, let the people place the le
gislative power of the country in the hands of
such men as Vallandigfiam of Ohio, Biddle of
Pennsylvania, Voorhees of Indiana, and we
have no doubt that the war will at once be
ended—ended to the disgrace of the' country,
and the humiliation of the national authority.
On these points, the people of Pennsylvania,
we think, need no further developments to
convince them of the necessity of meeting and
counteracting the efforts of the leaders of
mocracy to re-organize that party. It rests
entirely with the people to decide whether
such an organization shall be effected by such
men, and while thus alluding to the men at
tempting this organization, lhe question as to
their antecedents suggests itself. Who are the
men thus attempting to revive the rotten
carcass of a rotten party, and breathe into its
palsied limbs the breath of life ? Every man
of them has in some shape attempted to
cripple the efforts of the national adminis
tration. They have attempted to do this in
Congress, and through the columns of the
newspapers which they have been able to con
trol.
They first decried enlistment as a vio
lation of the Constitution, because it sought to
coulee men from the exercise of their sovereign
rights. They next denounced taxation, be
cause it asked a. portion of the great resources
of the American people to preserve the Ameri
can Union. Having failed in these efforts, and
seeing that our armies are crowded with the
best men in the land, and that taxation is de
manded by the people as the fairest way, to
equalise the burden of the war, the same men
adopt a stale trick to reorganize the Demo
cratic
party, on the plea that its revival will
add to the strengthof the government by pro
viding additional guards against corruption and
malfeasance in offic'e. Heaven protect the rni
rity of the government when such guards be
come necessary for its preservation !
We must not only meet, but we must coun
teract the influence of this conspiracy and at
tempt at rebellion in the north = because we
hold that every man is guilty of treason who
voluntarily and willingly, after the facts are
known to him, enters a political organiza
tion whose only purpose is to embarrass the
government. Every sane man must understand
the fact that this is the only object of the re
organization of the Democratic party. The men
who seek such a consumation are the old enemies of
the, Union, who, in the lead of Breckenridge, sought
to give force to that enmity. Let this fact constant
ly be kept before the people. And let it be re
membered that while we battle against these lo-
cal political conspirators, we are also nobly strug
gling against that other great conspiracy which
aims at the entire destruction of the govern
ment
RICHMOND AND CHARLESTON both, the two
great centers of rebellion, will be in the pos
session of the federal troops em many days.—
Blow but sure, are the advances on each. The
surrender of Richmond is as certain as any fu
ture event. McClellan's tactics may lack celer
ity, but they never fail of the certain result.
With or without the desired reinforcements, at
tacked by dashing columns, or approaching by
slow parallels and unmolested, the possession of
Richmond is a foregone conclusion to General
Mee fella n.
So of Charleston. It is not easily taken by
direct assault, either from land or water. The
channel approaches are difficult and require
skillful pilotage or slow feeling the way by
soundings. But there is not this afternoon,
in the city of Charleston, a head so "full of
foolish dreams" as to doubt the certain surren
der of the city. Whether it be to-day, to-mor
row, or even a week hence, may serve as a
point for discretion. But the our-coma--the
occupation of the city and the possession of the
forts by the United States, is not doubtful to
anyone having eyes to see and brains to com
prehend. " Slow but sure," as the mills grind;
the result is doubtful to no mortal forecast.
"And then ?" We do not say that then the
war is ended. Fools and madmen may attempt
to protract it by guerrilla bands, and miscella
neous predatory warfare. That, however, is
not war, but simply land piracy. Until such
pirates are suppressed, it may be said the war
is not over. But there is a short way of deal
ing with ardent soldiers of this sort. They are
entitled to no soldierly consideration as priso
ners ; the cord and the bough, or quickeryet,
the bullet, can settle terms of peace with such
scoundrals.
There are persons who imagine that a system
of guerrilla warfare can be maintained for years,
and that meantime the peace of the whole
country will remain disturbed. The notion is
al surd. No such bands can maintain thein
selvee fora month, except by the unanimous
countenance of a large section of inhabite,d
country.. Such a section would invite upon
itself the stringent policy enunciated by Qen.

SINCE MOS n BOAT ss, will subdue any dis
affected district. Resistance is something worse
than idle. The Federal Government will as
sert its authority over every fortress, city,
town and rural district within the limits of

guerrilla resistance to its power look for guer

All Fears for the Safety of our Army
GEN. IIicOLELLAN'S MiNWITVERE PER-
THE ENEMY DECEIVED AND EN-
The Gun Boats Operating with the Army
By the arrival of a gunboat from the James
river fleet, the anxiety felt about Gen. McClel
lan's army is at last relieved, and we have been
shown how masterly the young chieftain has
accomplished a most difficult manoeuvre, and
out generaled the rebels two to one.
- OE the past three days fighting which has
been going on in fie - fit — of Richmond, we have
had the most exaggerated accounts, 'but the
news of today set at rest all doubts relative to
General McClellan's brilliant achievement, had
there any existed.
It appears that when the rebels made their
attack on our right, the plans for a flank move
ment of oer army had already been matured.
In order to deceive the enemy a stout resistance
was offered by our right wing, which always
kept falling back, drawing on the enemy as it
retired.
By excellent generalship this wing fell back
upon Gen. Mi.Clellan's left wing and this was
the crowning movement of the matured plan.
Our fleet on the James river is partially station
ed at City Point and can assist in protecting
Gen. McClellan's army and all his stores.
On Thursday night last an expedition of sail.
ors made up from the James River fleet, start
ed up the Appomattox river to destroy the
bridge of the Petersburg and Richmond Rail
road.
The steamers liaratanza and Jacob Bell were
tbe vessels appointed by Commodore Rodgers
for the undertading.
The two vessels started on their mission, but
got aground, and the Jacob Bea had to be de
stroyed to keep her from falling into the hands
of the rebels. The Maratanzi was safely got
off.
A large fleet of sailing vessels has stilted
from here to supply Gen. M'Clellan, under a
convoy of a gunboat.
A number of secesh prisoners were brought
into this port this afternoon, qaptured at White
House.
The Battle of Saturday
ULL PARTICULARS UP TO MONDAY
Spcictal Despatches to The frees.]
I have arrived here safely, in company with
Gen. Stoneman and staff and General Casey
and staff, who are here, it is said, under special
orders.
You have no doubt been apprised of the
great confusion existing here, and naturally
attendant upon the crowding of vessels into
the harbor from White House Point.
The affair of Saturday last partook more of
the nature of a battle than the engagements
of'Thursday or Friday. Gee. Fitsjohn Porter
lute covered himself with glory. He selected a
very strong position, and, having posted his
forces in an admirable manner, was prepared to
hold it against any force of the enemy. The
brave men of this command all fought with
heroic courage, and the volunteers vied with
Gen. Sykes' regulars in making steady move
ments and carefully executing the commands
of their officers.
lime and again, vast hordes of rebels moved
up in solid columns upon our troops, but our
regular batteries as often mowed them down
in 'a most deatruotive manner. Steady dis
chArges of shell, grape and canister in regular
salvos seemed to sweep down whole companies.
As soon as confusion in the rebel ranks was
apparent, General Porter ordered General
Meagher's Irish Brigade to charge bayonets,
which they did in the most gallant and heroic
style, bare-headed, in their shirt sleeves, owe-
Blandly with these rolled up.
This charge had an excellent effect. The reb
els were driven back with great slaughter, and
General Porter was preparing to move upon
them over the piles of the rebel dead and dying,
when the enemy again advanced steadily,
strongly reinforced.
Now the Pennsylvanians gave them the bene
fit of all their splendid rifles, while the bat
teries played upon themm before, creating sad
havoc. Indeed, the slaughter upon other fields
during this war has never been anything to
compare to this. The, rebels staggered under
their losses, and our forces were advancing
steadily upon them, drivingthem back at every
point, when a staff officer rode up with an or
der from the commander-in-chief to - Gen. Por
ter; directing him to fall back with his com
mand, and cross the Cbickahominy.
The order was executed in fine style, and our
troops did not miss a man, the enemy being
too, severely punished , to follow us closely.
The only difficulty was with the Pennsylvania
Reserves and Meagher's Irishmen—their com
manders exerting all their powers to induce
these brave men to cease firing. They saw the
advantages gained by hard fighting, and they
were anxious to follow up the success.
All the troops must be praised for heroic gal
lantry in this affair, hut the regulars must have
especial notice. General Sykes, the lawented
Bunsel, the 3d, 4th, and 14th Infantry,
behaved admirably.
Gen. Porter thought he would be reinforced,
and be urdered to advance upon Richmond
forthwith, but it WBB not 80 designed, and he
fell back, as ordered, promptly.
Four trains of cars, loaded with forage, were
order,d to Despatch, on Stturday, but meeting
the enemy's pickets on the road, the trains
were backed down near the White House, the
cars were burned, and four locomotives were
hlOWn up. This was a great loss, but it was
enifauced by the destruction of stores, &c at

the White House—everything there being in
flames. Elegant ambulances and loaded bag
gage-wagons were rolled down to the river
bank, and, there being no time to burn them,
they were cast into the river.
I embarked with many others on board of
the John Brooks, but owing to the fact that
our vessel was too large to move down the
river in safety at night, we dropped anchor in
sight of White House Point. The houses
burned on all night, and' the scene presented
was one of the grandest I ever beheld. The
rebels were not in sight on Sunday morning
when we moved down the river. The gun
boats dropped down with us some miles, and
anchored under a bluff, so at to allow the
rebels a chance to come as far east as they
chose.
A boat sent up to communicate with Gen.
McClellan by way of. James river was fired on
recently by a rebel field battery.
A portion of General Stoneman's command
'vas ordered to Yorktown and Williamsburg
to guard the telegraph wires, and open direct

Arrangements are perfecting, under the direc
tion of officers of high standing here, to con
vey a full supply of stores to General McClel
lau's army, but by what means I am not at
liberty to yublish.
A single antler, in the vicinity of White
House, had property to the amount of $lO,OOO
destroyed on Saturday.
There are many rumors here respecting army
movements; all, however, unreliable. The

During last nighT a -large number of steam

The entire fleet will proceed up James River
as soon as practicable. Quartermaster Ingalls,
who arrived at b P.
,at., yesterday, left during
the night to gd up the James River. This
morning, informal= has been received that
the gunboats have established communication with
iffaellan's left wing, so that all. uneasiness rely
tive to the new base is at an end. The point
on James River will be a short distance below
Drury's Bluff, some ten or twelve miles from
Richmond.
As yet we are without particulars of the ope
rations of the army for nearly four days, fur
ther than a dispatch from a high source ac
knowledges that the change of line had been
attended with " a serious reverse." - Of what
took place on Saturday, we have absolutely not
a word. The best informed are, however, not
without apprehensions, and await tidings with
no little anxiety. Others take a hopeful and
more confident view, from the fact that the
change of line by MuClellen. though with some
serious consequences to himself, has - di:Vide - 1i
the enemy, by placing some 30,000 on the left
bank of the Chickahominy, with the bridges
destroyed, and no means of obtaining supplies.
While this theory is encouraging, it is not suf
ficient to rest any great degree or confidence on,
since the rebels have unquestionably been re
cently reinforced.
We have no tidings of what was McClellan's
loss, though there is some reason for believing
that it was not as serious as first supposed.
Persons who left the front latest on Friday
evening, report that among the leading com
manders it was conceded that the result of the
operations of the day were unsatisfactory, and it
was expected the conflict •would: be renewed the
following morning. It is known that McOlel
lan's plan was to *row his left against the
enemy's right, and if possible to press forward
to Richmond. There are wild rumors that he
has succeeded, but they can be traced to no
trustworthy source.
LATER.
The armed naval tug Dragon arrived from
the upper water of James river, about midday
to-day, with dispatches from Flag -Officer Golds
borough, who immediately consulted with Gen.
Dix. Their tenor is understood to be that Gen.
McClellan's right was attacked with great im
petuosity by Stonewall Jackson, whose men,
with almost inconceivable courage, successful
ly charged our artillery, sustaining a loss in
the exploit of probably not less than 5,000 men.
Our loss was very severe. It was reported that
Jackson was killed ; that one of our Briga
dier - Generals was taken prisoner, togeth
er with an entire regiment. General
Fits John Porter, sorely pressed, crossed
to the right, or western side of the Chick
hominy, the enemy taking the left. On
his left, McClellan, with much. severe fighting,
had penetrated and passed through White-Oak
Swamp, with 40,000 men and 100 pieces of ar
tillery, to a secure and advantageous position,
and had subsequently cut through a line of com
munication with the James River. It is re
ported that, during the two days fighting, Mc-
Clellan's loss was 10,000. Under this head we
have no particulors whatever. Col. Alexander
had come through to James River to select the
new base, and Turkey bend had been decided
on. This is not far from 30 miles from Rich
mond, and some 10 miles above City Point.
The most prominent and important feature
covered by the reports is, that McClellan has
succeeded in penetriting White Oak Swamp,
and in placing a very large force on the other
side of it. While this must have advanced a.
heavy bodysof his best troops to within four
miles of Richmond, it was at the same time.a
bold push toward the point opposite Fort Dar
ling, on Deere's Bluff, the two principal ideas
held distinctly in view, Friday evening, the
hour of the last intelligence from McClellan's
left.
When the Dragon left the wounded had com
menced arriving on - the banks of the James
river; several hundred had already congregated
opposite City Point, where there was no prepa
ration to receive or care for them. The gun
boat Stepping Stones was then taking on a load
for Old Point.
A new rumor is in every mouth, bat I for
bear to repeat any of the great number afloat.
I have embodied only what seems to be best
authenticated.
Telegraphic communication beyond York
town is cut off, and the officials permit nothing
outside the official dispatches for the North to
go upon the wire.
Fotra P. st.—Gen. Stoneman has arrived here
from Yorktown, having been cut off at White
House. Part of his command came down by
water last evening.
An immense fleet of steamers and schooners,
convoyed by a gunboat, is about to leave for
Tarkey Bend, the new base. Three regiments
under Gen. Casey will be taken up. B.
