HARRISBURG, PA
Friday Afternoon, October 17,1882.
DAUPRIN COUNTY.
We have our interest not only in the Com
monwealth, but in the Union, and we feel that
we owe a great duty to both, which only labor
and devotion can faithfully discharge. We be
lieve that without the influence and operation
of sound Republican principles, neither state or
nation will ever prosper as should prosper the
free people of both, because Republicanism ab
hors every thing in the shape of aristocracy.
While feeling thus, and while thus regarding
the state and nation, we could not, if we would,
disgel , e the pride we have ever cultivated for
Dauphin county.' To-day that pride is increa
sed and brightened. At this hour, when our
brethren in other localities have failed, some
by fault of their own apathy, others by dissen
sions, and whets again because their honest and
great masses are in the army, we feel that Dan
phin county has nobly done her duty—has elo
quently reasserted her faith in Republican
principles, and spin recorded her verdict in
favor of freedom in such tetras as every tyrant
and slave-boasting aristocrat in the land can
understand :
• 'Long may our laud be bright,
With Freedom's holy light ;
Pr.ltect as by thy might,
Great God, our King."
We have snatched a victory from the most
desperate and openly corrupt foe that ever
fought a political battle. We have defeated
the enemies of the administration and the Gov
ernment on their broadest and must distinct
issues of opposition. We have sustained every
act of%Abraham Lincoln, after he had been anta
gonized by teen woo swore that he should be re
buked, humiliated and iii4graced. In no other
county in the state was the line drawn tighter
or the battle fought fiercer. In no other local
ity wore boy ity and freedom fairer presented
to the people, or more bold ly d. nounced and ridi
Cnled by our opponents. We stood on the im
mutable principles of justice, and fought the
late battle as if it was to he our last blow for
the Union and the Constitution. So far as Dau
phin county is concerned, the victory is com
plete. With hundreds of ror sons in the army
—with scorn sin the army hospital, and with
others resting in honored graves, the love
of their friends and the mournful regret of
their relatives their only monuments—those
who remained at home, those who were un
armed and undisciplined for battle, have nev
ertheless won a victory which cannot be dazzled
by any achievement on the field, because it is
purely a victory for truth, justice, the Union
and 'the Constitution. Our companions in prin
ciple throughout the Commonwealth, must not
blame us, therefore, for feeling proud of our'
own locality. It is th- rock around which our
brethren who have been defeated, may rally;
it is the star of Republicanism to which those
may gaze who are shrouded in the gloom of de
feat, to gather courage from its brightness, in
centives from its example, and faith from its
devotion. Honor and glory, then, to old Dau
phin County.
MISREPRESENIATION.
The Administration has achieved a great, if
not a vital triumph in the result of Tuesday's
election in this Si ate. —Phila. inquirer, Oct. 16,.
Wilk the result before it, showing a probable
defeat on the State ticket, and a certain defeat
gm the Congressional and Legislative tickets,
bow can the Inquirer, that prides itself on fair
ness, make such a statement ? That the Prem.,
the North American and the Bulletin should stfli
claim an Abolition victory with all the fr.cts
against it, we are not surprised—it is thei-z vo
cation. But we are astonished that the, him.
ter, claiming respectability, should be g u ilt y of
such deception.--Patriot and Union.
Certainly, if you have gained what y,ou f oug ht f or ,
it is a victory against the government, against
those struggling for its pre'servation, and
against the army in the field for its defence.
Throw off the mask now, Paid declare openly
and boldly for what you contended. Let the
poor dupes know the fur/ effects of the victory
for slavery, rebel trai"tors, repudiation, recog
nition of the SouthrJrn Confederacy, insult to
northern white lf,bor, elevation of southern
aristocracy, with. beggary, oppression, toil and
phame to the •masses of the free states. This is
what the Bmckenridgers claim, and therefore
it is folly for any journal, as has the Inquirer,
to atleto.pt to claim the victory which the
Breckenridgers declare they have achieved, as
a triumph for the government.
Carron AND Woct.—The extravagant prices
to which cotton has risen is inducing many
manufacturers to adapt their machinery to the
production of fabrics of wool, and the business

It has heretofore been. The following item is

True Wool Tams.—There is a great excite

time. The number of dealers in the article
have increased in proportion to the increase of
the crop, which is much larger than in any
previous year. Wool buyers are visiting, all
parts of the country, and the contest between
them is very warm. Heretofore the fleecekhave

OUR BOYS ABROAD
Wiley( we have present occasion to refer to
any of the rebel states, or any of the states
even tainted with treason, we naturally use
the expression "abroad," because the rebels
and their sympathizers regard us loyal people
as foreigners. The federal government is a
foreign power—Pennsylvania is a foreign state—
and therefore we are foreigners. Hence when we
allude to any of our boys in the states thus in
revolt, we naturally use the term abroad—and
In this way we can only refer to our boys in
Kentucky. Pennsylvania has now several regi
ments of cavalry and infantry in Kentucky—
composed of some of our very best material.
Lately we have been receiving news from these
regiments, which was of a character at once to
incenee, alarm and even stir out deepest soli
citude for the: fame, the feeling and the future
of those braves. This news, however, came in a
very questionable shape, and we were not dis
posed to give it, credence or publicity—but since
then we have seen officers and men from that
locality, who, if they only tell the simple
truth, give us a picture of injustice and impo
eltion which it is beyond our power to re-pro
duce in a single editorial. The only way to
describe the condition of our regiments in that
direction, is to declare that our boys are discon
tented, disheartened and almost demoralized,
by the manner in which they are treated by
their superiors, and the service to which they
are reduced in the army. If they are employ
ed in an engagement, and win advantage, the
Kentucky papers rob them of the credit, and
give the glory to Kentucky regiments that were
not within even the sound of the battle thus
fought. If a catastrophe occurs, and a result
unavoidable deals death and hardships to our
boys, they are visited with contumely and re
proach, and forced to bear shame and disgrace,
without the opportunity of defence or even the
liberty of extenuation. This, we are assured,
by high authority, is the position of our boys
in Kentucky. They are there to defend the
property of people who do not hesitate to con
fess that they despise the men who . defend
them, as well as the state from which they
came; while the women of the same locality add
to the insult with taunter which no man - can
answer.
We allude to this fact with grief and indigna
tion, and think that the publicity which we
now make of the matter may lead to such in
vestigation as will either refute the reports
from Kentucky or relieve our boys who are
thus outraged in that locality. Let Kentucky
take care of her own soil and people, and send
the men of PennsYlvania back to their state to
defend its border and shield her honor from
rebel invasion and outrage. If Kentucky is
thus. ungrateful,: she is unworthy of loyal de
fence. Her peoPle should at least be taught
that the veterans who left their distant homes
to save Kentucky from devastation, are not in
sensible of what's due.to gratitude and patriot.
ism. If Kentucky is thus prone to insult her
truest friends, let her take care of herself. Give
us back our bravo boys„ We have hearts and
homes and welcome forthem all, here ip Penn
sylvania. Their valor and their worth will find

appreciation here, and here their patrictifrn
will not be subjected to the teat of rebel taunt
and insult. When they marched hence, we
were assured that they went to mingle their
martial valor with a people who only needed
the strong arm of the government as it was
represented in the army, to arouse them to
their own defence. We were asanred that
Kentucky had the hearts but not the hands to
defend her honor, and that the moment a few
loyal regiments arrived on its soil, thousands of
men would spring to arms and rally around the
banner of the Stars and Stripes. But we have
neither heard or read of this uprising in any
shape than that which was presented in the
ravings of the Kentucky aristocracy at what
they termed the insults flowing from the pres
ence of the mud-sills of the north, unless it was
in that other shape in which Kentucky women
rose and exaggerated indecency by insulting our
boys in the most outrageous and unbecoming
manner.
—lt is no pleasure thus to refer to this mat
ter. But the truth demands the exposure, and
justice loudly calls for interference and tefonn.
The Lancaster &press discourses very sensibly
on the proneness of a certain class of men, to
make the merit which they may have secured
in one branch of the public service block up
and monopolize the path which leads to all
other positions under the Government. In this
spirit it refers to the defeat of some of those
who in a manner deserted the army, that they
might use their military renown for the put.
pose of achieving political success. It claim;
that there is a lesson in the defeat of General
McCall, in the 7th, and Col. Biddle, in the 2in'
Congressional Districts, which men who occupy
similar positions may well lay to heart. Gen.
McCall, a regularly educated army officer, living
in retirement on his farm in Chester county,
was called upon by a patriotic Governor to take
command of one of the best Divisotas of the
army, which Pennsylvania, or any other State,
has furnished the government to prosecute this
war against treason. Gov. Curtin, relying upon .
McCall's patriotism, and not pausing to enquire!
into his political views, proposed to make him
a Major General, had such a privilege been ac
corded by the general government to the state
Executive. As it was he was honored with a
high position by the President and Governor
Curtin, and Pennsylvania at one time felt
proud of him. Returning to his home after the
hard-fought battlys tan the Peninsula, iu ,which
his gallant " Reserves" won their first impel:-
billable laurels on the battle-field, and in:which
he was taken prisoner, carried to the rebel cap-,
itol, and treated with base indignities by arro
gant traitors to his country, he might still have
enjoyed the respect and affection and confi I enc 6
of his fellow-citizens ; but, at an evil hour, and
for reasons still inexplicable to us, be yielded to
the allurements of party, and threw himself in
to the arms, not of the old, patriotic Democra

eon who had confided a great trust to his pa
triotism, and whose commission be still held.
He who of all, men, should have heroiddly op
posed all manifeetations if sympathy with the
traitors whom he had fought on the battle-field,
was among the first ossent to, and join in the
schemes of the'men who would embarrass
and render Inefficient the gallant little army
he had the honor to command, by cutting
off their-source-of tmliplitsr.' We don't think
Gen. McCall intended to do this ; we regard his
course in assenting to be the instrument of such
men as a weakness, net a crime—but the lesson
taught was not the less significant and instruc
tive. The rebuke he received at the band of
his loyal constituents shows thatit is not safe
for men to presume upon their past military
prestige, however patriotic and honorable, to
pursue with impunity a wrong ordoubtfnl course
in civil life in the future.
The case of Biddle is equally suggestive,
though he had notgiven the shadow of evidence
of patriotism and heroism as a soldier that Mc-
Call did. He went into both the army and
Congress on false 'pretences. Presuming on
the evidence of patriotism displayed on enter
ing the army, and the endorsement received by
his fellow citizens at the polls, he reluned to
Ith3 party idols and- turned his back upon, the
beet interests of the country whose flag he had
sworn to maintain against all enemies from
within or without, Oa a record thus made in
the army and in the forum, he again went be
fore the people, but they - were not again to be
deceived by the appearance or mere profession
of patriotism. His loyal fellow citizens have
condemned him, and consigned him to the re-
Bracy of private life, lees respected than if he
had never ventured from obscurity.
Let other military worshipers at the shrine
of party receive instruction from the fate of

MP. DAVIS' RETALLITORY PROCLAMATION
FROM %TOAD MILLTOWN, VA.,
VIA WANNINOTON, Oct. 6, 1862.
A reconnoissance in force was made this morn
ing, soon after sis o'clock,, under General Han
cock, comprising his entire division, together
with Dana's brigade, from Sedgwick, and under
command of Col. Lee, of the Twentieth Massa
chusetts regiment, together with four batteries,
two regiments of cavalry and one battery of fly
ing artillery. They left Bolivar Heights, and
proceeded ont the Winchester and Harper's
Ferry turnpike towards Charlestown, in the
following order : ,
First, the Sixth New York Cavalry, Colonel
Devian, and a battery'of Flying Artillery, un
der the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Mc-
Nicker", First Battalion ; next, the Fifty-third
Pennsylvania Volunteers, and First Minnesota,
of the Third Brigade, under Colonel Brooks ;
following these were Tompkins' Rhode Island
Battery (six pieces,) the remainder of the Third
Brigade, under Colonel Looks ; next, Captain
Thomas, 11. S. A., with six pieces ; following
came the Second Brigade, under General Cald
well; Captain Pettit's First New York Battery,
with six pieces, were next in order ; following
them was the First Brigade, under General
Meagher ; next, the Brigade of General Dana,
from. General Sedgwick's Dividon, under the
command of Colonel Lee, and joining us after
wards, was a battalion of Cavalry of the Third
Indiana.
In this order they advanced until just after
crossing Halltown, which is some tour miles
from Harper's Ferry. A battery of the rebels,
comprising not more than four pieces, opened
at short range upon our advance, their range
being so short as to tail to reach the parties for
whom it-waslllitended.
The Fourtkliegular Battery, under Lieut.
Bickerton, promptly returned their fire, and
with such effectiveness as to completely silence
them in something less than half an hour, al
though failing to force them at once to retire.
The infantry regiments, under the command of
Generals Caldwell and Meagher and Colonel
Brooke, and.detachments from other regiments,
under Colonel Lee, were then drawn up in- line
of battle in columns, by division, on each aide
of the road, the batteries, under Captains Pettit
and Thompson, keeping along the turnpike
and pas,iug to the front beyond the line of bat
tle thus formed, and posting themselves on an
eminence just in front of the infantry.
Boon after, the line of infantry posted on the
right of the road commenced to send out their
skirmishers, and, es they advanced without
molestation, gradually the infantry advanced,
and, as they proceeded, so did the batteries,
cavalry and infantry, until the whole column
was again in motion, and carefully feeling their
way forward, tfie ebemy retreating towards
Charlestown..
We lost - in killed, Mr. Elmore ; wounded,
Richard Cogan; right leg amputated ; James
Oorkhil I, left hand and race, <by shell ; Peter
Campbell, shell, in bead, and Mr. Patrick and
Mr. Carpenter slight. The Adjutant of the
First Minnesota had his horse shot from under
him. I could not lettru of any other casualties.
All the above belonged to Co. A., Fourth Regu
lar Artillery.
The battery lost four horses, by solid shot
from the enemy, who seemed to have early got
the range of It. ,
. .
Up to this period the cannonading continued
and we left this scene for the front, only. &sliest
distance ahead.
The road at this point and beyond was quite
rolling, a succession of short hills, with a dense
wood in front, hiding from our view Charles
town. In this wood the enemy were posted.
Our troops at this point, were under the imme
diate command of Gen. Hancock, of Williams.
;burg renown.
Shortly after our arrival at the top of a bill
'within two miles of Charlestown, the Bre of the
enemy slacked, and our infantry deployed as
skirmishers extending on each aide of the road,
while the main body massed and proceeded on,
preceded by the Second and Sixth Regular Cavil
airy At this point we retraced our steps to
Harper's Ferry, for the purpose of gaining the
train so as to send this much of our success.
No doubt, our troops, very shortly after we
left the field, took possession of Charlestown.
The enemy opened at short range, Company
A, of the Fourth Regular Artillery, answering,
the third shot of the enemy killing the above
mentioned men. Our fire seemed to bewilder
the enemy, but they stood their ground well,
until compelled to retire by the skill of our
batteries. Tomphin's Rhode Island Battery
occupied a commanding position and did terri
ble execution.
Gen. Meagher'a Brigade behaved nobly

CIifiIIIMITOWN, Va., via WASHINGTON, Oct. 18,
8 P. at —General Welcher' and Staff rode bold
ly out to the front of the village. Rebel cav
alry pickets were seen occupying the nest hill
beyond the town. General Lee is at Winches
ter
with a large force. Jackson is at Bunker
Hill with his corps. Hill is also there. Stuart's
cavalry are on the Shenandoah.
A large force is also stationed at Keestown,
six miles away. Oar troops are deployed out
in front. Caldwell's brigade on the right
front, the Fifth New Hampshire on the left,
the Sixth Regular Cavalry on extreme front of
the village. Cavalry, infantry and artillery
are scattered through the town. The Sixth
New York Cavalry are two miles in our rear
to prevent a flank movement.
We have taken seventy rebels, wounded in
the fight to-day. Oar reception has been very
cold on the part of her people. There are a few
Union men here. Provisions are very scarce,
both for man and beast. We found an old
negro confined in "John Brown's jail," and the
field where he was executed is planted in corn.
The negroes appear very gleeful.
It is expected the enemy will be reinforced to
, night. General McClellan returned this even
ing. I learn from the people that Jeff. Davis
has issued a proclamation, announcing that all
Union office s held and captured shall be put
to hard labor, if "Lincoln's Proclamation" is
Serried out.
