HARRISBURG. PA
Friday Afternoon, September 12, 1862.
THE ;SITUATION.
We bad direct information this forenoon from
official sources that General Sigel had attacked
the rear guard of the rebel army at Frederick ;
that be was shelling their camp last night, and
that the rebels were retreating towards Wil
liamsport.
From Chambersburg and Greencastle we hear
that Captain Palmer (who was supposed to be
captured yesterday by the rebels) had safely
returned to Greencastle, after spending a whole
fifty in a rebel camp some five miles from Hagers
town. He states that some five hundred rebel
cavalry was encamped at the place, that the
men were jubilant, drinking plenty of liquors
and living on the fat of the land. Capt. Pal
mer wee, so much disguised, that when he re
turned to his own men, they did not recognize
him and would hardly believe that it was him
self. The rebel soldiers never suspected for a
moment that Capt. Palmer was a spy, and were
very communicative, telling him that they
would leave to-day for Greencastle and Cham
bersburg, and were very jubilant over the
prospect of entering Pennsylvania. Our forces
at Chambersburg are increasing rapidly from all
parts of the country. Col. ld'Clure has orga
nized them in the most efficient manner, not
withstanding that they are mostly raw troops,
they will give the rebels a most terribly drubbing.
Gen. Reynolds, a most efficient officer of the
regular army has been appointed as the Com
mander in -Chief, and Col. Charles Campbell, a
most determined and brave officer will lead the
advance guard. The Col. knows every foot of
ground on which the rebels are tramping, and
he will defend his own home and country to
the last. Ammunition and guns are in abun
dance, and all we want now are the men to
man them.
The location of the main body of the army is
beyond Hagerstown and situated so that they
can cross at Williamsport. The heavy rain
during yesterday and last night has swollen
the Potomac considerable, but we fear not
sufficient for to obstruct their crossing. Oar
former expressed opinion, that they will fall
back into Virginia is partially confrrmed, but
in honor of cur noble army and its command
ing General we hope that the rebels will not
be permitted to withdraw without a battle.
They are now in such a position that we can
not only whip them but entirely destroy them.
The Mayor of this city has issued a stringent
Proclamation forbidding able bodied men to
leave the city. This is right and proper ; let
ns all prepare to do battle at a minute's notice.
RONEY ATIONS FOR STATE SENATOR.
Samuel E. Duffield has been nominated as
the Senatorial candidate of the Union men of
Adams, Fulton and Franklin counties. Dr.
Duffield is a very popular man in his district,
and although peculiarly fitted for position in
which talent and integrity are essential, he has
repeatedly declined the tender of office, con
tented with We profession and his private efforts
to serve the people. At this juncture, however,
he has been induced to accept a nomination,
because he is convinced that he can be of vast
'prow in the position for which he is named.
Two years ago he refused to becomes candidate
for Congress. We predict now that the Doctor
will awry his district, as well as his county,
if not for the entire ticket, at least for himself
by a majority which will at once indicate his
personal popularity at home . .
The - Union conferees of Blair, Cambria and
Olearfield, at their meeting in Altoona on the
9th inst., re-nominated the Hon. Lords W. Hall
by acclamation. We do not know whom to con
gratulate first on this choice--wbetber to com
mend the conferees on the eminence of the
selection, or the candidate on the compliment
of his nomination. It is certainly the renewed
expression of confidence by a people best able
to judge of a faithful
.public servants labor;
and that this confidence is deserved, we have
some right to know, after having closely watch
ed the course of Senator Hall during his legis
lative career. In the last session of the Legis
lature he was the Speaker of the Senate, a
position rendered the more arduous by the great
importence which the legislation of Pennsylva.
nia has lately assumed. Yet in no respect was
he deflgoittt; either as a presiding officer called
on hourly for prompt decision, or as one by
w h - diconiegoga ection the proceedings of a
MMEIMM
deliberative body can alone. be conducted with
harmony and success. Senator Hall deserves
an increased vote in his district, .and if he does
not receive it, it will be to the discredit of his
constituents.
THE RECORD OF SYNPATEY FOR THE
REBELS.
DR. we= AND TIDI fITATS DIMON
Within the last week the people along the
southern and western borders of the Common
wealth have been moved by the most serious
apprehensions of invasion by a rebel force.—
These facts remind us of an incident in the leg
islative career of one of our opponents, which
it is due to truth and candor, should be laid
before the public. At a period when the hot
shot and bombs were falling thick and fast
around the gallant band who were defending
their country's honor in Fort Sumter, Gov.
Curtin. had sent into the Legislature of the
state, then in session, a message suggesting the
better organisation of the militia, and asking
for an appropriation of five hundred thousand dol
lars to place the state on a war footing. When
the bill proposing to make this appropriation
came before the Legislature, Dr. Heck voted
against it, and thus practically declared 'his
disregard of all that aimed at the defence of
our homes and the preservation of oar liberties.
At the present hour a still greater danger men
aces the free states than that which threatened
them when Fort Sumter was attacked. That
danger has pressed hard on the Governor, and
in obedience to what he deems due to the de
fences of the state, he is organising the militia,
putting the border under protection, and in all
things using the most strenuous efforts to guard
the honor of the Commonwealth and defend the
homes of our people. But Dr. Heck has de
clared his unalterable purpose to oppose air
such measures in the votes which he gave while
a member of the Legislature. Remember, free
men of Dauphin county, if invasion should
come to Pennsylvania, the worst and its first
terror would be .visible in Dauphin county.
On our territory is located the centre of travel
and the diverging lines of railroad, to the north
and the south, thfi east and the west, and that
if the enemy should come, with fire and sword,
it would be here that he would vent his fury
and wreak his bloody revenge. Upon our ter
ritory, too, is located the capital of the State.
It is here that the archives are preserved—our
political authority represented, and the majesty
and might of the commonwealth centered in
the person of is Chief Magistrate. According
to Dr. Heck's theory and practice these are not
worth protecting. Dollars and cents, in his
opinion, are of more importance than life and
I liberty. In the face of these facts, we ask, is
Dr. Heck worthy of the support of the freemen
of Dauphin minty for a high legislative posi
tion? Should a man be trusted with power to
enact laws, who has no regard for the public
safety—no respect for a great crisis, and no
patriotic devotion to the honor and glory of
the Union ?
ThmComentr 10 in a most dangerous and un
fortunate state, and all our prudence as well as
courage is required to preserve what remains of
liberty. There is an element which, we havO
all along felt satisfied, if the war continued
long enough, would exert a powerful influence
upon the conclueion of the strife, *filch ao far,
has been of griat . service to the _ rebels, but
which we need not. be surprised at any day to
see turn terribly agaipst them. We need scarce
ly say that we refit. toothe slave element. The
fact that the siaves . beve so far been quiet, ar
gues very little, when we take the peculiar dia.
position of their race into account. They are
peculiarly a patient people, but their histOry
elsewhere shows them not without vindictive
nesi, cunning, and a burning love of liberty.
The"example of St. Domingo is before us. The
Battle blood which broke forth in sudden fury
in that tearful massacre, flows in the veins of
the Southern slaves—they have the same
wrongito avenge, and the same inducement
may lead to the same terrible retribution. That
no blow has yet been struck by them we attri
bute quite as much to the want of opportunity
as disposition. The alacrity with which they
have Socked to the Federal protection shows
that their hearts are not with their masters. It
is fear, and neither love nor ignorance, which
has so far restrained them. So far no encour
agement to revolt has been extended to them.
Neither protection nor assistance has been ten
dered.
We have been long satisfied that it was inthe
:power of the Presklentto:Crtish the rebellion any
day by invoking the CO operation of the black
millions of the South, whrrhave long been - wait,
tog for the Call. HimanitY eo far has restrained
him. How muoh longer,it will be strictly hu
mane to suffer this terrible war to ,go on, in-
solving as it does the loss of thousands of the
best men of the country—loyal men, too,' who
are blameless of the origin of the war—out of
regard for these who blie been its authors and
deserve to he its sufferers, has already become
a question shared not by a few. But let the
fighting men of the South leave their homes
as . gemeredly as by the present policy of theCtiiii
federate government they are being called to 1 1
do, and it will not probably be long before the
result alluded to will be achieved without Fed
eral invitation. The policy which present
dications point the South as likely to pursue lei
the same her Ndversrufes have heretofore been
compelled to adopt, and which has greatly
given her the advantage. Being a policy of
aggression; it is one of danger, as it involves
the necessity of precipitating inferior against
superior numbers. That there is any thing in
his constitution or his habits which give either
the Southern • or Northern soldier the advan
lege over the other we do not credit. If there'
is, we.are satisfied it is with him of the North.
If not so familiar with arms he is more famil
iar with the requirements of labor, and we have
ever been convinced,. tha t in the end, he. who
can work the beed,, can fight, the best, : In the
ab l eaCi of any .unlooked for interference, the
result of the present strife will be decided
, by
the might of superior numbers &TO.

LAST Tuesday an election was held in Ver
mont
for State officers, members of the Legis
lature, and so forth. Frederick Holbrook was
the Republican Union Candidate, and he got
nearly all the votes. A few were oast for B.
B. Smalley, who had been put on the course
by the Peace Democrats of the State. We
judge, by a comparison of the votes for Gov
ernor, that Breckinridge Democrats are about
as scarce in Verniont as Union men in South
Carolina. The difference is that in Vermont
the sympathisers_areallowed to keep on voting,
while in the Palmetto State, the rebels imprison
and hang every; man who dares to resist their
unholy treason.
No mails in Maryland are sent west of Elii

FORT EWAN ALLEN,
Near the Chain Bridge, Va., Sept. 9, 1882
As the soldiers of our regiment are principally
composed of the brave men of Dauphin county,
I have thought that a few lines sent to you for
publication in your excellent paper, would be
interesting to the many friendb of the men of
this regiment.
We are located at this time on a high hill
between " Fort Ethan Allen" and the Chain
Bridge, about three hundred yards from the
latter and about half a mile from the former.
Fort Ethan Allen is a strong fort, and there are
a great many men of strong arms and brave
hearts in and near the fort, who are willing to
defend it at a moment's warning. I suppose
from the numerous references to the Chain
bridge in the public prints that your readers
are at least familiar with the name. The bridge
is about a half mile in length. The Potomac
river is about twenty yards wide at this point,
and the boys say it is twenty feet in depth.
There was a poor soldier drowned in the river
on last Saturday. At last accounts his body
had not been recovered. He belonged to an
artillery company.
I am happy to report the health of the men
of this regiment to be good, there being only
five or six on the sick list ; one poor fellow was
shot through the foot by the accidental dis
charge of a pistol. I believe that the officers
of this regiment will not • disappoint the ex
pectations of the men or of their friends at
home ; they will all give a good account of
themselves. Their conduct towards me up to
this time has been gentlemanly and kind. Our
young Colonel, W. W. Jenningis, has secured
the full confidence of the men generally., •He
is a strict disciplinarian ; treats the men with
great impartiality. ; he is never in a hurry, but
always in time. It seems to be his greatest
concern contribute to the men's comfort, and
improvement in military tactics: He is acting
at this time as Brigadier General. I consider
him a superior young officer. Our regiment at
this time is under the command of Lieutenant
Colonel Alleman. He discharges the duties of
his office with fidelity and great acceptability.
He preserves his dignity admirably. We could
not get along without the services of our tal
ented Lieutenant Col. And, Mr. Editor, I can
truly say that all the other officers seam to be
doing all in their power to prepare the men to
fight black hearted traitors with succesa. The
privates of this regiment are generally men of
good moral character. In proof of this I would
say, that I have not seen nor heard of any offi
cer or private being intoxicated. Some of
them are profane at times. Profanity, how
ever, seems to be the besetting sin of the sol
dier.
We spent last Sabbath week at Fort Ethan
Allen. Although we were expecting an attack
every moment, yet we held divine service, and
we had as good order as you have in your city ,
churches, and the choir sang beautifully. On
Sabbathlast Iwe preached in our camp, (Camp
Boas,) morning and 'evening. Our congrega
tions were very large, and we had as good or
der, both morning and evening, as ever was
witnessed in any church. And our choir, for
we have a splendid one, sang delightfully ; and
on last Sabbath many of us felt that the God
of Israel was in the camp s and that to bless:;
and I can truly say that we had a phateant and .
profitable day's journeytoward our better home
in Heaven. The commanding officers unite
their influence with mine to have the men at
tend divine service: And in proof of this, I,
request the publication of General Order Ne.
5, and the accompanying circular 'which was
read to the regiment at dreas parade last Sat
urday evening: • ,
