PEOPLE'S UNION STATE TICKET
AUDITOR GENERAL:
THOMAS E. COCHRAN
of York County.
SURVEYOR GENERAL:
WILLIAM S. ROSS,
of Luzerne County
HARRISBURG, PA
Tuesday Morning, July 22, 1862.
PERSONAL
The Patriot and Union having for the last two
weeks made several personal, false and mali
cious allegations against the Postmaster of this
city, and after having been furnished with un
disputed testimony that the charges made
against him were utterly false and groundless,
and demanding that the same should be pub-.
Bared, which testimony they have refused to I
publish, he has therefore availed himself of the
only means left open, and that is an appeal to
an honest and unbiassed jury of his country.
Several suits have therefore been instituted
against 0. Barrett and Thomas C. MacDowell,
as publishers and proprietors of the Patriot and
Union, and 11. J. Jones as writer of the same.
These gentlemen will therefore have a full op
portunity of proving one and all of their sev
eral allegations made against him.
In order to show our readers that the only
charge made against him is fully contradicted,
we print the following letter, a copy of which
was sent to the Patriot, with a demand that
the same should be published. The letter is as
follows :
BLOOKFIRLD, July 16, 1862
There was a package of money sent by ex
press from Key West by Capt. Woodruff to
Geo. Spahr, Esq., Mr. Spahr having left home
before the money arrived,requested me to receive
and to distribute it. The money was put up, each
persons in a sealed envelope, and addressed to
the person to whom it was to go, the amount
marked in figures on the outside. There was
two letters for Harrisburg, one for Mrs. Mary
Ann Tag, marked $4O 00, one for Mrs. Marga
ret Umberger marked $l5 00. They were seal
ed and addressed properly to Hanieburg, and
a postage stamp on each. Mr. D. J. Rice of
our place, was going to Harrisburg and offered
to deliver them, but when be returned he said
he had not time to deliver them, end he took
teem to the Post Office at Harrisburg, handed
them to the person atteptling the office, and
told him what they were ; that they were sol
diers' letters, and said to contain money. The
man in the office took them and said, " all
right." These were the only letters ,for any
person at Harrisburg in the package. Who
they were from, I have no means of knowing.
I have a list of all the letters received, that
were in the package expressed by Capt. Wood-
ruff. Any further information that may be
necessary, 1 will cheerfully give so far as I can.
Have these two letters been delivered to Mrs.
Tagg and Mrs. Umberger?
Respectfully yours, Bto.
DAVID MICKEY.
Mr. Rice deposited these two letters in the
Post Office on Tuesday, and they were delivered
on the very same day by the carrier. We for
bear, however, to make further comment on
the subject, as the case will undergo a fair
and impartial investigation before au unbias
sed jury of this county.
If these charges had been of a political char
acter, .we should have noticed them as hereto
fore, through the columns of our journal. Bay
ing been engaged as polithaeditor and pro
prietor of several newspapers since the year
1887, a period of twenty-six. years; we have
hurled many a bard blow against out political
adversaries and received as many in return of
which we do not complain. But when parties
make °barges repeatedly against our pd.,
vete character and official conduct as an officer
of the United States government, we deem it
not only just and proper to our family and the
community in which we have resided for
twenty-six. years
. past, to vindicate our own
personal character, but also vindicate that of
the government which we have sworn to serve
faithfully. Let-a jury of our countrymen decide
the question and we shall rest satisfied.
COL. FORNEY 'S SPEECH
Tho,Nao York Tribune, of,SittUrday, publiehee
what purports to be an abstract of certain por
tions of 001. Forney's speech, delivered in this
city on the 17th inst., which places the author
and the President like wrong poeition before
the country. The Thane has the following as
the language used in that speech: • '•
"He
. announced. that' President Liaohi had
told bhp: before !Ceti/lug Washington, that
henceforth his ;lacy should lie astringent as the *hot
enthusiastic coal desire. [Loud Applause.) That
hereafter there will be no restriction. m the employment
of ail pot &non Os Rebellion. (Long tu4d
loud applause.] No more doubting about the
oonfiscatiort of' Rebel property. [A.pplause.]-=
No longer'need the Northern people be fright
ened with the cry of Negro Equality and
Emancipation." [Applause.]
As the speeeh was delivered, and as it was
reported for, and published in the Timsousle
of Saturday last, neither the language attri
buted to Col. Forney by the Tribune, nor the
impression created by that language, was used
by the speaker or sought in any manner to be
flied lathe mind of the Convention. ' Col. For
ney did not say that he had lately bad an in
terview with the President relating to any
subject,' and least of all did he say that the
Preeldent had confided to him the policy he in
tended top:moue in the future to crush the
war. Here is what he did declare on this sub
ject, and this is the only allusion to the Presi
dent in the entirespeech:
But now, thate:tperienee has shown that no modera
tion can reach the authors of this great crime , the
President wall undoubtedly profit by the lesson. And
am sure that the voice that goes up from this Con
vention today, will invigorate and inspire him in the
vigorous policy which is about to be inaugurated ; a
policy Wish 'feel sure wall be as stringent and as de
termined as the most exacting and enthusiastic of us
amid desire. Backed by the people, dud anpoiyered
by law, there will hereafter be no hesitation in the
emyloymenl,gf cal MOO to put down the rebelkow.
JEFF. DAVIS'S ORGAN OPPOSING A
VIGOROUS POLICY.
Nothing so alarms the organ of Jeff. Da
vis in this city, as a proposition or a plan to
apply a vigorous policy in conducting this war
for the Union. It groans with holy horror at
the suggestion which urges the government to
use any means within its power to Pot down
!rebellion, and would rather any time see a re
giment or a brigade of gallant Pennsylvanians
cut to pieces, than acknowledge the neces
sity of arming negroes to out the throats
and exterminates the race of Southern
traitors. White men are not of the account
of slaves. Northern mechanies and laborers
have not invested in their flesh the money of
any of the political allies of dough•faceism, and
therefore such as these can be slaughtered
without affecting the interests or the political
prospects of the party to which the Patriot sings
its praises. But if we use the slave, and risk
him in battle, we peril his political influence
and compel his master to risk his investment in
the war for the Union; This is a fair inference
after reading the article which Jeff. Davis'
organ prints this morning on the subject of a
more vigorous policy.
In the course of that article, the Davis organ
declares that
The way to encourage the volunteering of
white freemen is to cultivate unanimity of sen
timent
among the northein people—to lay
aside party asperity, &c: •
In the same paragraph the most violent at
tack is made upon loyal Republicansand honest
Democi ate who are sustaining the national ad
ministration, and this is sOlae secesh means by
laying "aside party asperity ;". and in the lan
guage, we quote, the Jeff. Davis' organ talks
about "cultivating unanimity" as the way to
encourage enlistment. IL must mean a unani
mous sentiment in favor of the slave-holders'
confederacy, and volunteering for the confed-
erate army, because such has been its effort
for a year peat. But the height of impudence
is reached in the following question which the
Davis organ propounds to the members of the
late People's Union State Convention
"Why did not these leaders of party factions
and cormorants of public plunder resolve to
become leaders of regiments and battalions,
and to take the field without delay against the
rebel enemy 1"
Barrett and lilacDowell talking about factions
and cormorants for office, when the very flesh
on their, bones and the life in their souls was
placed there by the liberality of the men .they
now.assail, and is due to the broken down fac
tion which they now seek to revive. So far as
taking the field is concerned, perhaps the
meatters of the convention are fearful of ,an
attack of that inflamatory rheumatism or
chronie diarrheas which interfered with the
valor of one of the • proprietors of the ,Jeff..
Davis organ.
—But, badinage aside,pre public have had
snffiqient evidence to convince them of this
fact, that the party of which the Pntriot in the
organ, has no , other political object in view
than that of giving aid and comfort to the
enemies of jhe National Government. 'pit
leaders of that pOly now seek a tslumph tly t t.
they may plus give assurance of their ability
to render this aid to Southern traitors, and thus
also encourage rebellion to continue its strug
gles againatthe government. Therefnejevery

THE AgUNTY 70 V,OI474IFTEERS
We suggezted in Saturday's .issue •of. the
Timsoaapx; the necessity of ta bounty being of:.
fared forealistments, so that the burden and.
expense ' of the war would be equal -among
all clams. c.While making this sttggeation, we
also urged that this bounty ebodid be offered
Without waiting for the action of the - 141trkm

sort that 4us Governor should asinine this
qrsponsibilit* at once; and offer thill bounty
without Atte., action of the Isegislatufe. •We
agree in *tie conviction; and yet , we are
also convikled of, the politicalialnd constitu
tional netiessitlea Viotargettlag,thalegishattire i
in order that tint& action' on the part lof the
Governor niaatixeceive the high , sanction .and
endorsement tif our law makers arid custodians
of the publiclunds. . .
The PiilebutifrEvening Chronicle thus alludes to'
I .
the same suirjelit :
Now it seems to us, that if Governor Catlin
had the endorsomeet of the people,- as-express
ed through coup mass meetings he .. i:h
a " l 4 tr Veik, 'eXPeute and ; dray o I
vent igt he le i d at this' untiniely :.. At,
anclinimeelf take the responsibility of offering
a bounty of dollars to each volunteer, trust
ing to the patriotism of the next Legilatire
for the proper authentication and legalization
of his act. He could then immediately
,Provide
a fund for the purpose, , and issue orders to the
different military subordinates as to the mode
in which it is to be made available. Suppose,
an average bounty of $5O Were offered 'fo twO
classes of recruits, the whole expense would be
only $2,500,000. Fellow citizens, the capture
of Richmond ; the termination . of. the war ; ;
the avoidance of a dissolution Of 'Mel:ft:dot:Cant
a foreign war, and the perpetual prevention of
having Pennsylvania bordering a foreign gov
ernment, with its hostile line of custom houses
and tariffs, would be worth to this State 'alone
more than a hundred millions.,
Bat the chief merit of.this course is that the
burthen of raising additional volunteers rests
equally upon all, and not upon this or that coun
ty, or upon this or that body of citizens who
may be more patriotic and liberal, - but no more
able or interested than theirneighborti, in send , ,
ing reinforcements to our sorely pressed armies
now in the field. It would altogether obviite
too, the objection to local bounties, mentioned
at the outset of this article. Recruits hiving
no more inducements to enlist-iu one place than
in another part of the State, would 'join their
own home regiments, containing friends and
relatives of their. own neighborhood, and offi
cered by men whomthey know,and in. whom.
they have confidence. To the bend and pat
riotic in each county, there would still be left
most ample opportunity for - raising and spend
ing money, to put in raPidlrorking order the'
machinery of recruiting, in. .! holding .public

meetings, providing mu.ic, &c., keeping 1 . 3 p
part of the wages of employed recruits, supply
ing additional surgeons, medicines or eix - itforts
to those who leave us for the field.
THs LNELAMATORY RHEUMATISM or the chronic
diarrhoea must have been at work on the body
or, bowels of the valient soldier who presides
over the columns of Jeff Davis' organ, else de
cent men and a loyal cause would have teen
spared the outrage inflicted upon the com
munity this morning. It is customary and
notorious for the cowards and hirelings who
control the secesh organ and cater to traitors
through its columns, to make good their De
mocracy by "abusifig John W. Forney or ap
plauding slave-holding traitors and sympathiz-
ing dough-faces. They have literally emptied
their heads, this morning, of all that it was
possible for professed falsifiers to conceive or
concoct. The mere personal abuse of John W.
Forney by such men as Barrett and MacDowell
amounts to no more than the exhibition of their
own jealousy and hatred. He is above and be•
. yond their reach. He moves where they could
never be recognized. He has associates where
they would be spurned, and this fact, not his
independent renunciations of dough-face Iwo
focoism, has for years excited the envy of Bar=
rett and MacDowell. John W. Forney might
be all that is mean, low and cowardly, and
yet he would be the superior of the controllers
of the Patriot; and the day will come when
some of those will again cravrl.at his feet, im
portunate for favors and cringing for his recogL
nition.

wounded on our side. The cavalry marched
eighty miles in thirty hours. The affair was
most successful, and reflects high credit upon
the commanding officer and, his troops. As
soon as the full particulars are received 1 will
transmit to you the name of the commanding
officer of the troops engaged.
I am, sir, very respecttully, your obedient
servant, Jona Pore,

and Chief of Staff.
An:officer who arrived to-day from Freder.
ickatown, Va., says the effect of Gen. Pope's
official order upon our troops was wonderful.
Although they had not been officially proclaim
ed when he left that town, a knowledge of
toeir contents had quickly passed from officers
to Man, and all were jubilant in view of the
policy hereafter,to be pursued. New vigor has
been-fnfused into our soldiers, and additional
strength and courage given them, and their
anxiety for active operations bag be4nincreased..
The toast among them to day was, "The New
Orders."
