THE TORY ORGAN ON TRE NEGRO
The tory organ asserts, this morning, that
this is acontest to maintain the great social and
political supremacy of the white race over the
black. We admit the truth of this assertion,
but the organ has taken the black side of the
issue. As slavery now exists, and as it is in
franchised, five negroes in the south are couut
ed equal to three white men in the north. It
is this feature of slavery that we oppose—
while in defending and advocating the claim
of slavery the tory organ as persistently insists
that five negroes are equal to three white men.
Join this fact to the organs strenuous exer
tions to disfranchise the whit.; man battling for
his country, and we have a practical illustra
tion of that sheets efforts to maintain the su
premacy of the white over the black race. It
flies into a great rage if a proposition is made
to disfranchise slavery—but disfranchise the
s Idler, and the outrage is at once pronounced
constitutional and jest.
THE STATE DEBT.
It is a gratifying fact, that, in the midst of
the extraordinary expenses and unprecedented
excitement in which the Commonwealth has
so suddenly found itself involved and-surround
ed, the financial operations of the state were
never conducted with more success, nor has
the economy of the finances ever been more
strictly guarded than it is now. All this is
sustained by the proclamation of the Governor,
published to-day, setting forth the operations
of the sinking fund. By that proclamation it
will be seen that within the year ending Sep
tember Ist, 1863, the payment, cancellation,
extinguishment and final discharge of Two
fired and.Sixtrtwo Thousand Light hundred and
One Dollars and Sixty-seven Cents of the principal
of the debt of the Commonwealth has been
made, including one thousand one hundred
and eighty-eight dollars of the relief issues,
which have been cancelled and destroyed as
authorized by the ninety eighth section of the
act of the nineteenth day of April, A. n., one
thousand eight hundred and fifty-three.
In the success of this work, the Auditor
General, Hon. Thomas R Cochran, and the
State Treasurer, Hon. Henry D. Moore, deserve
especial credit and notice To their energy
and vigilance, the result may ba almost direct
ly traced, while to the prosperity of the peo
ple, and the healthy 'condition Of the business
of the state, we may also trace this ability of
the government thus to meet and discharge its
obligations.
711 E SOLDIER'S' . VOTE.
The tory organ is dreadfully afraid that Gov.
Curtin will issue his proclamation ordering an
election to be held in every camp that contains
a regiment or company of men from Pennsyl
vania. Some time since• it claimed that the
Democracy were doing all the fighting. If this
is so, we insist that the Democracy have the
right to vote. Unlike the tory organ, we are
not in favor of disfranchising any man, and
particularly those who are engaged in defending
the government. Let the soldier vote, then, as
a right belonging to him now, by the blood and
life he is offering to hie country—and let those
who, like the tory organ, are urging the die
franchisement of the soldier, be made to take
the responsibility
of the outrage, when the sol
dier returns to his home.
The case of the Democratic sheriff in Philadel
phia, was ati unfortunate example to cite, as it
is on that case that the soldier's claiirt to vote is
maintained by a Democratic Jedge, lu the face
of the decision of the Supreme , Court. Judge
Ludlow, a Democrat, absolutely refuies to oust
this Democratic Sheriff in . Philadelp*, and put
in a Republ.can. Yet the tory organ asserts
that n Democrat has been ousted by < the < decis
ion of the Supreme Court. This is a lie—clear
and well understood when it' was penned for
the organ—belikuse the Democrat still holds
the office of Sheriff 4t. Philadelphia, and a Dem
Ascfatic Judge sustains him in his fight.
We ask for nothing but what is right on this
*question. We believe the soldiers have a right
t o gore. We believe that those who Oppose
this right, do so in order to get power that they
may oliPosnithe Executives, both state and
**Pare - now vigorously proseCudng the
war'. 'OW a solemn Theietore lot
the soldier vote.
ONE OF THE INDISCRETIONS.
We notice by the Berwick Gazette, the organ :
of the rampant opponents of the war in Columbia
county, that Col. 8. M. Bowman, of the 84th
Regiment P. V., (Hurry's old command, and
which he alone made famous), has been delight
ing the tory sympathizers in that region with
a lecture on the war, during which he assailed
Gen. Pope, denouncing him in unmeasured
terms, and exposing what he termed, "the merits
of this [Pope] pompous commander." We allude
to this subject in no disposition to occupy our
time or space with any strictures on Col. Bow
man as a man, but to ask whether it is the
business of Colonels who are detailed to re
cruit for their regiments, to devote the time thus
piloted in harranguing the people on the merits of
their superior officers. What has Col. Bowman
done, that he should thus sit in judgment on the
merits of one of the bravest men in the army ?
Nothing that we know of, but live on the repu-,
tation of a regiment made glorious by the valor
of a man who, if he was our political opponent,'
still had the courtesy and discretion of a sol
dier and a man to eschew politics, and devote
himself entirely to his regiment.
The Gazette also states in its synopsis of the
report of Bowman's remarks, that "he was
severe on the radicals." By which we are to in
fer that be was denunciatory of those who sup
port the state and national administration, be
cause only they are radical in the opirtiou of
such Breckinridge organs as the Gazette, who
support Lincoln and Curtin in their vigorous
policy to crush rebellion. This is a little more
than the friends of Col. Bowman promised Gov.
Curtin when they imported him from Illinois,
and urged his appointment as Colonel of the
84th. He was then claimed as a soldier, but.
according to the Berwick Gazette, he is only , the
howling politician perambulating the country
assailing those who are doing all in their power
to sustain and cheer the rulers respectively of
the state and nation.
—There is no longer any wonder that there
should be a want of unanimity in the army,
when such things go unrebuked by those in
power. All we can do is to expose and de
nounce them, and then leave the rest to fete
and fortune.
Tam BREOKINREDOBBS who were in the Con
gressional Conference to which Clinton and
Centre counties belong, namely, H. L. Diffen
bach from the former, and C. T. Alexander from
the latter county, have entered their protest
against the refusal of a majority of that con
ference to make a nomination for Congress.
So far as a nomination was concerned, it was
useless for the Breckinridgers in that district to
put forth a man, as Hon. William H. Armstrong,
the nominee of the loyal men of the district, is
bound to be elected. But it seems that it is
not this of which the virtuous Diffenbach and
the profound Alexander complain. They pro
test because they suspect that a sort of patched
up union is to be effected between certain of the
friends of Judge Hale and others among the
Brechioridgers in that district, for the purpose
of putting Hale on the track as the opponent
of Mr. Armstrong. The twain of protestanis
urge that the "Democracy" cannot swallow
Hale, and that that clique should have nomi
nated a man full-dyed and of their own pro
clivities. We agree with them, and join in
their protest, because we want to see bow many
dough-face sympathizers there are in that dis
trict.
—We alluded to this subject yesterday, and
repeat now what we then declared, that if Judge
Hale lends himself to this nefarious business to
defeat a high-minded, patriotic and loyal man,,
that the spleen and malevolece of a pack of old.
party hacks may be satisfied, he will disgrace:
himself in the eyes of every really independent :
and upright man in the state. We do not de
sire to mince words on the subject ; nor do we
assume to interfere in the preferences of the
people of any Cohgressional district, but when .
an act so unfair as this seems to be is attempted,
and proceedings so ungrateful are abdrit to be
enacted by one to whose first election to Con
gress we contributed our full main and poor
.might, we cannot refrain from entering our
solemn and earnest protest, urging that justice
and right and gratitude be invoked to save
Judge Hale from the disgrace which he would
merit and surely incur by thus opposing the
election of Mr. Armstrong, Will he heed the
warning ?
BILLY Braten's county of Clearfield, is a rare
spot for the growth of his own peculiar spirit
of parsimony and political meanness. Solna.
time since we a ere told that Bigler had been.
stumping his county, rousing the people to
loyal action, and that he had created a tremen
dous furore in favor of the Government, for
all of which the people outside the powers of
Clearfield were expected to bow down and
worship the aforesaid Bigler. But the sequel
to all this is shown in the fact that a few days
since, our talented and intrepid friend, H. B.
Swope, Esq., presented a petition to the Clear
field Court, asking a Rule on the County Com
missioners end Associate Judges to show Callso,
why they should not meet and sit as 'a Board
of Relief under the Act of Assembly. The Act
requires them to meet at least once every
month to hear claims for relief by per Sons who
arehi &areas by reason of their friends haVing
gone into the army. The Court on hearing,
ordered the Board of Relief to meet and furnish
the relief required'by the Act of Assembly.;;
Is it not humiliating that it should require a
legal proceeding to compel a board composed
of Democratic Commissioners and Democratic
Judges, to
meet for the purpose of affording
relief to the suffering families of men abisent,in
the defence of the country ? If the Democrats
are doing all the fighting, the men whom they
put into office, according to the rule of the .
Clearfield county Democratic office holders; are
determined to starve the families of the absent
fighting Democracy. •
Jamas B. Bum has been nominated by the
Union men of Mercer county, as a candidate
far the Legislature. Mr. Brown was a member
of the House during the last Legislature, and
was regarded as.among the most useful men in
that body. Indeed we think that he has fairli ,
earned the honor of a re-noiriiaaiio; . 0 1 . 1 If AO
people of his 'district can appreciate an able
representative, they will not tail l to return him
to the Legislature with an Increased majority.

Advance of Gen. Siegel.
REBEL SCOUTS PUNISHED
I XPORTANT INFORMATION
Reports Of Rebel Movements.
The advance division of Gen. Sigel's corps,
under the command of Col. Vongilsa, of the
40th New York volunteers, Dekalb regiment,
reached this place on Monday last, via
Church and Fairfax Omni itHotise. No
enerny was found on the road hitherto inter
pose any'obstacle to the progress of the troops,
or to taking possession of the fortifications upon
their arrival here, except a few scattering horse
men, who fled before our scouts could bring
their carbines to bear upon them.
On Tuesday Brigadier General ntahl reached
this point with' an additional force, and be now
has command of the place and occupies the
house of Mrs. Whaley as his headquarters.—
The usual precautions have been taken to pie
ven t a surprise by the enemy, and since Mon
day scouting parties:have been sent out daily
in different directions. •
General Stahl in person visited the Bull Run
battle field yesterday with a small force for the
purpose of administering a little salutary pun
ishment to a party of rebel scouts who had fired
upon our pickets. As may well be supposed
the special object of the mission was fully ac
complished.
Yesterday morning a face, consisting of two
regiments, a sqoadron of cavalry and a section
of artillery, itteompanied by a gang of work
men, under the command of Col. Bushboph of
the 27th Pennsylvania volunteers, proceeded to
Manassas Junction, and thence to Bull Ron
creek, to rep tir the bridge destroyed by Long
street, while Gen. Pope was making his cele
brated retreat from the Rappahannock. The
bridge troops will then make a more extended
recoonoirnnce this afternoon.
Gen. Seigel made his headquarters at Fairfax
Court House,and has with him the balance of
his corps he future action of these troops
are as yet involved in mystery, at all events
so far as newspaper correspondents are concern
ed. I had a converse ion to-day with a real
dent of Brentsville just across the Orange and
Alexandria Railroad, from Manassas Junction,
and he communicates some important facts, if
true. He says that four of the Ave loco
motives reported to have been ' destroyed
by General Banks when he fell back from
Bristow's Station have been placed in good
order by the rebels, and have been run
down to the Rappahannock station. There are
also several freight cars, boots, and other arti
cles of clothing supposed to have been destroy
ed, and a number of pieces of artillery, but no
rebel soldiers.
At Gainesville, he reports that there are at
least ten thousand stand of arms belonging to
the rebels; they are also repairing the bridge,
destroyed by older of Gen. Pope, across the 'Rap
pahannock river, and the road will be in run
ning order to Culpepper within a few days.
This gentleman, who is vouched for in high
quarters as a good 'Union man, also reports that
Joe Johnson is marching towards Manassas
Junction with forty thousand men. This story
is not generally credited here, however the
Orange & Alexandria railroad is now in good
running order to Manassas Junction.

Official Reports of the Losses at
Reconnoitering on the Virginia Shore
A Hebei Gun Captured,
A special correspondent from Sharpsburg
sass : Our loss in killed and wounded in the
battle; of Antietam will be fully 10,000. net
official figures in, two army corps, Sumner's and
and Rooker's, are as follows :
Gen. Sumner'a— Officers killed, 41—wound
ed, 89 ; enlisted men killed, 819—wounded,
3,708; missing, 468; total for the corps, 6,209.'

Killed, 98 ; wounded, 669; total 861
Rickett's Division—Billed, 152 ; wounded,
898 ; total. 1,188.
Meade's Division, Pennsylvania Reserves—
Killed, 97 ; 'wounded, 449 ; missing, 23 ; total,
669 Total for the corps, 2,619. •
Gen. Burnside's lors will be about 1,600 in
killed and wounded. , The total loss in these
three' army corps is therefore 8,428. The ioist
in Gen. Franklin's-and Gen. Banks' corps, now
commanded by Geu. Williams. will bring the
casualities fully up to the total stated, though
there may be considerable variation in the num
ber of missing.
• Gen. Griffin, whose brigade now pickets the
river at Blackburn and Reynolds' ford, opposite
iShepherdstown, keeps a strict watch on the re
!bels, and is active in reconnoitring{ the country
along the Virginia side of the Potomac.
On Friday morning a battalion of cavalry
;crossed, and soon afterwards sent back as pris
rifler a rebel cavalry officer, whom they cap
tured at Shepherdstown. Soon after a boy ap
;peered. on the opposite bank,, shouting to the
pickets not to fire. He came over, and reported
that he had enlisted-with the rebels at Fred
erick, and, becoming disgusted with the service,
desired to 'come home. The, rebels, he said,
were in force ten miles back "from the river.
He also said that Jackson had had his arm am-
Putated, in consequence of a wound received at
Antietam. Thesa stories of rebel deserters are,
hqwever;notoriously unreliable.
On Thuisday, at noon, General Griffin in
person, with the Ninth Massachusetta and the
First District of Columbia reginients, crossed
the river. They threw out skirmishers, ad
yenned up the hill, and,. proceeding cantions W ,

Williams, The threatened invasion of Penn
sylvania by the rebel army has been arrested
by the prompt and patriotic response of loyal
men of the State, and the signal victory
achieved by Qen. M'Clellan's army on the An
tietam.
And whereas, The alacrity with which the
people in every section of the Commonwealth
rushed to the rescue of their brethren on the
Cumberland Valley border, is worthy of the
highest measure of praise. Although not. re
quired by the terms of the call to pass the bor
ders of the State, our brave men, unused to the
rigors of war and untrained in ilitary move
ments, not only entered Maryland, but held
Hagerstown against an advancing foe, pressed
forward to the Potomac, and resisted the threat-.
ened movement of the. rebels upon Williams
port until troops in the United States service
arrived and relieved the% Their timely and
heroic action has saved the state from the tread
of an invading enemy, whose necessities made
even military strategy subordinate to, plunder.
Now Therefore, I , .Aansaw G. CURTIN Gov
ernor of the Commonwealth do hereby order
that the troops called into the service of the
State by General Order No. 36, be discharged,
and that they be sent to their homes as rapidly
as
the name o o transportation can be furnished
I d and in
our mighty State, and n behalf
of our threatened people on theb4,der, I ten
der them the grateful acknowlediments of a
rescued Commonwealth.
And I recommend, that, the companies here
by discharged from active service, should take
pr6mpt measures to preserve and perfect their
organisations, and that new ones should be
formed in every county, so that they may_ at all
times be ready to answer the dull.'of the State
should their services again be required. Arms
will be issued to them as soon as they can make
regular requisitions in • accordance with law,
and the companies lately in the service of the
State, will be preferred to others, should the
supply not be equal to the demand . It is confi
dently expected, however, that all the organised
men of the State can be promptly and properly
armed.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal of
the State at Harrisburg, this. Twenty-fourth
