RUMORS OFNEGRO PLOTS AND RISINGS.
We were disposed at first to receive with
doubt, the rumors of negro plots and timings,
with which the secessionists who are about to
be whipped in Virginia, are calculating to elicit
symp Ally among their friends in the north and
loyal states. We agree, therefore, with the
Bulletin, that too much confidence is not to be
placed in the rumors of intended negfo-risings
that occasionally come to us from Virginia,
from Mississippi, from Louisiana and or her of
the rehel states. These rumors are, in most
cases, the offspring of the fears of the elavehold
ere themselves. They live in terror of the
" property" they have been so carefully awn
.
maiming! Every one of them has a terrible
skeleton in his house. The living chattels are
the terror of the family. There is a constant
apprehension that some spark from without
may vivify, in the enslaved breast, the instinct
of freedom, and that the slave may suddenly
turn master. Even on the happiest plata°,
tions, there are days and nights of uneasiness ;
and long before the rebellion against the Union
there were, in various parts of the south, fre
quent general alarms, which excite d large dis
tricts of ii . ountry, concerning some supposed Se
rious plans among the nogroes for asserting the
natural right of every human being, the right
of liberty.
Much more is this the case now, when the
principal slave states ere in arms against the
government, and when the able-bodied whites
are nearly all away from their homes and eery
lug in the army. The uneasiness of the whites
is increased further by the President's procla
mation, and they are publicly expressing their
opinions upon that important state paper, and
thus informing the negroes of its character and
of the terror that it excites among them. But
it is not probable that the proclamation has
had any effect yet among the negroes. The
more intelligent among them are those that
will act upon it, if there should be any action,
and they are too prudent to do anything pre
cipitately. They are much more likely to await
the coming of the Union armies, and to accept
their freedom peaceably, after the Ist of Jan
uary. This, we trust, will be the case through
out the south. There have` been horrors and
bloodshed enough in this war, without adding
those of a negro revolt.
But if a revolt occurs, it will be a natural
consequence of the course pursued by the slave
°wpm s towards the slaves. Since the war be
gan, their severity to their servants has increas
ed. Their tears and distrust have made them
ill-natured and harsh. Negroes in the border
states, suspected of aspiring to be free, have
been sold and sent further south. Recaptured
fugitives have been terribly puni.hed and then
sold, and sent away from the border. Families
have thus been broken up, in a more ruthless
way than ever before. 'there have been fre•
quent hangings, burnings and shootings of black
men who dared to try to win their freedom.—
The report of the hanging of seventeen, the
other day, in Culpepper County,- Virginia, on a
mere suspicion of their being engaged in a plot,
comes in a well authenticated shape. Such a
frightful punishment, for a merely suspected
offence, shows the state of trawl among the
whites to be savage and desperate beyond all
precedent. Some of there seventeen; it appelire,
had ie their possession newspapers containing
the President's proclamation. For this they
were murdered,
If anything is calculated to bring on negro
revolts, it is this sort of treatment. The Presi
dents's proclamation could never be more than
a pretext far a rising. But the recent brutali
ties are provocations to it that cannot long re
main cool and undisturbed, when they find the
horrors of slavery constantly increasing, and
when they see families torn asunder forever,
and their brethren hung up before their eyes
merely on suspicion. They will reason that it
is better to fall fighting for freedom, than to be
murdered for nothing. Better to die like men,
than to die like dogs. Such simple logic is in
telligible even to the illiterate slave. Every
new act of cruelty at the south sharpens the
slave's wits and strengthens his longing for
freedom. The whites of the south are actually
eduoiting their negroes for revolt. The whites
of the north have nothing to do with it. The
real abolitionists, who have done and are doing
more to destroy slavery than any northern
party ever could do, are the slave-owners them
selves. If there should be a rising among the
negroes, it will be their work.
Tun Tamer SMUT does not relish the notice
which we took of its splendid description of the
rebel raid in the Cumberland Valley, and ob
jects to our comparison of that notice with the
abuse it has always heaped upon, tike govr
meat. There is nothing strange or rumecouir
table in this objection ; nor are we at all 'nut
prised with the resentment which it manifests
at being thus exposed. The Spirit has had the
taint of treason in its columns ever since the
precipitation of rebellion. Some of its former
proprietors are now open traitors—others, 'too
cowardly to take such grounds, have content
ed themselves with acting as informers to such
men es Gen. Stewart, and yet the sheet claims
to be loyal. Bah I So far as the men are con
cerned who are supposed to control the columns
of the x9per' it at present, we know nothing ; but
of the Aitirit's reputation we know sufficient to
disgrace !tiff_ man who has the temerity to con-
neoiiiimself with its control.
TIM COMMON SCHOOL LAW OF ,PENN-
SYLVANIA
We are indebted to the Superintendent of
Common Schools, Hon. Thomaa H. Burrowes,
for a copy of a pamphlet containing the laws in
relation to our Common School system, with
decisions of the Superintendent, and explana
nations, instructions and forms for school
directors, embraced. It is not our purpose
to exhibit the character or point out the
features of these laws in our reference to
this pamphlet. The digest was intended for
the instruction and guidance of those who are
called to act as school directors and superinten
dents of school districts. As such it is in the
most lucid and complete style of the ripe scholar
and enthusiastic friend of education who is at
the head of the Common School system of the
Commonwealth. Of course, without it, the
Director and Superintendent would be unable
to discharge his duty; and therefore, to both,
it is invaluable.
To Mr. Burrowes, the Common School system
of education owes its greatest success. He may
be called, in one sense, the projenitor and the
protector of the institution. He ushered the sys
tem into practical operation. AB Secretary of
State during Miner's administration, be was
the first to establish schools throughout the
Commonwealth, on this system, and has ever
since, either in a private or public capacity, given
the great enterprise his personal, unceasing and
zealous attention, until it has become the ride,
glory and boast of the Commonwealth. Al
ready has there passed through its primary
channels of education up to its higher orders 01
culture, and thence to graduate, those who stand
foremost in the ranks of society, in the pursuit
of trades, the cultivation of the professions, the
undertakings of commerce, if not in all the
enterprises of life The men formed by this
system, are those who are looked to by the
State, with a confidence for support to which
those educate! where the fountains of knowl
edge are sealedto the poor, do not excel in ren
dewing. As such, we are always bound to
regard the system with veneration and grati
tide; and as such, too, considering his con
nection with the great enterprise, Superinten
dent Burrowes, has a right to regard it as a result
in a great measure, of the labor of his life.
LOYAL MEN
Whatever others may say to the contrary,
and however men may entrench themselves in
the force of a party, or in the advantages of
personal wealth or social consideration, we still
maintain that there is an intlaenca of sympathy
in the loyal states, for the traitors who are in
arms in the south or rebel states, whioh must
be put down and crushed out, before the armed
rebels can be effectually conquered. No people
that ever formed themselves into a state, or no
government that ever armed for its own preserva
tion and the vindication of its power, bee so con
ciliated the elements conspiring for the destruc
tion of both, as have the loyal people of the loyal
states, and the men who represent the legiti
mate government, of the Union. This concilia
tion has not. been directed to those in arms, or
even to those whom we had hopes would sup
port the means which the government has been
adopting to crush treason. The conciliation
has rather been in the direction of a class who
have determined from the first to aid the rebels,
so that while the government was engaged with
such men, delaying where we should have
pushed forward, and hesitating when we should
have struck a blow—while this has been and is
the policy of the government, the rebels have
been gathering strength, gaining advantage,
and prolonging what they call their "national
existence."
Loyal men have been the silent witnesses of
the effects of such a policy, until they behold
the influence augmenting to one of real dan
ger. The government, in the free states, is nu
longer a symbol of power— at least it is nq
longer regarded with the respect and the con&
dence which were its support and shield obi
months ago. If any man double this let him ,
peruse the newspaper organs of the party,
that has set itself up as the opponents of this.
government Let loyal men note and ponder .
the daily growing sentiments of this opposition,
and if the fact does not strike terror to the peo
ple who are solicitous for the safety of the gov
ernmeut, then has regard for it dithiniebecli
where we have only a right to look for its last,
hopes of safety.
The loyal men of the loyal states have before
them a rough road to travel, and daily as
cumulating rugged influence with which to con
tend. Henceforth every loyal man in the land
must make up hie mind to surer for the princi
ples which he represents. The miserable dem
agogues in the north, who have allowed their
success to be chained to the influence and the
behests of slavery who have sacrificed
northern interests and who erected them
selves on the degradation of northern labor—
these men are determined, if they can, once
more to make the interests of the free
states, subservient to those of slavery and
treason. Henceforth, the issue will become
broader and longer, until the test of citizen
ship will be made, in the free as it is now in
the slave states, not on the loyalty of Americans
to the government as it is represented by a na
tional administration—but on their adhesion to'
and approval of the franchises of slavery. To
this end, it is the purpOse of the Democratic
party to force the people. Will the people
submit ? Will loyal men behold the effort
made, and not attempt to meet and resist its
' influence ?
GEN. floszcaass, by hie late brilliant victory
at Corinth, and the excellent style in which he
followed that victory up, has won golden opin
ions everywhere. One of the uncalculated re
sults of Rosemarie' energy is, that the ; Louisville

apply with good effect to Buell. Dom it not

Measure of gratitude by showing to the rest of
the generals of the United Suttee now the ad
vantages of victory should be ust.d. If such an

the war, and faithfully followed afterward, we
believe that the rebellion would ere this have.

post, and from poet to pillar, until be is utterly
broken up and broken down. It is fortnnttte
that we have at least one general who, when
he gains a victory, knows what to do with it.
—ln the same paper in which this eulogy
appears, the leading editorial article commences
thus :
"Our hopes are not realized by the news
from Buell and Bragg Ii appears, that, in
parsing through or beyond Crab Orchard, Bragg
was about seventeen miles ahead of Buell. We
doubt very much now whether Buell can catch
Bragg at all, unless the latter deliberately
chooses to be caught."
After describing the situation, and speculat
ing on the probable result of Bragg's safe escape
into East Tennessee, the writer closes iu the fol
lowing uncomfortable tone of one dissatisfhd,
if not despondent :
"Affairs in Kentucky have ceased to be thril
ling. The voice of the cloud has died away,
and nothing is left for the present but a dull
cold patter of rain."
We think, from the above, that Buell's own
friends have about got their eyes opened at last,
so as to see him in the light of truth and com
mon sense, net such as he appeared to their
prejudiced . and partizan vision.
Incidents and Anecdotes of the War•
On the second day of the battle of Corinth,
Mrs. Wilson and her daughter, who resides in
a cottage just behind Battery Richardson, dis
covered that they were in about as hot a place
as could be found, fled from their dwelling and
dropped down into a thirty foot well, the storm
of lead and iron whizzing harmlessly above
them. But in the midst of the bath le a horse
which fled frantically over the field, attempted
to leap across the mouth of the well, but struck
the windlass, and his hind quarters fell into
the orifice. The poor women expected to be
crushed. The horse struggled furiously with
his fore feet, and the women waited their fate
in horror. At last, however, the horse by des
perate efforts extricated himself, and they were
saved,
'Poney" Grove is a soldier in the 27th Ohio.
He is thus nicknamed because he is the biggest
"infant" in the regiment. At the battle of
Corinth, while the enemy were flying from
Battery Robinett, "Poney" observed a rebel
moving to the rear waving a handkerchief as
a flag of truce. 'Toney" drew a bead upon
him and tiring brought him down. Upon
proceeding to his victim he found he was mor
tally wounded. "Wall," said "Poney," jam •
ming the butt end of the piece on the ground
and leaning forward upon it, "you was a pretty
fool for month.' '
wasn't you ?" What was yon
doin' with that white rag skedaddlin that way?
You might o' know'd I'd a dropped you. Why
didn't you come in, then you'd. a been s de."
The poor fellow confessed that "perhaps he
was wrong ; he was sorry he did not come in."
"Poney" was very kind to him, but 'twas no
use. He died.
The mats of hair about the battle-field of
C,orinth'presented a most forbidding spectacle.
The spots were men fell were saturated with
blood, and to-day you can distinctly discern
the exact position where many died by their
hair. It was impossible to bury all the dead
within two days. Wing that period 'their
bodies were horribly swollen, and when the
burying parties took them up for interment,
every particle of hair fell from their heads in a
mass, and spread out upon the ground like cir
order mate.
A graphic story is related about Gen. Pope.
He was very familiar with one of the officers
on his staff when he had a command in the
West. When General Pope was starting for
Washington to take command of the Army of
Virginia, he sent one 4:4' his staff back for
something he bad left at his old headquarteri.
This officer met Pope's friend, and after saying
good-bye, he rode away. Pope's friend hailed
him before he got out of hearing. He dashed
back at a gallop and asked what was wanted.
"Give my compliments to General Pope, and
tell him he's a fool ;.his grave is dog," was the
reply.
When General Sill's division left Frankfort
the last thing they did was to remove the two
monster cannon from their position on the
hills over South Frafikfort. Some Union men
of Frankfort, during the night, went over to
the spot and planted two empty beer kegs in
the place of the cannon, and covered them
with a tarpaulin. All next day a lot of ktov
gao's cavalry were scouting around the kegs,
but, dared not enter Frankfort for fear of being
ohatged' upon. On Wednesday night bur 'forces
abandoned the kegs, when they made a bold
and daring charge . on the "tarpaulin beer keg
battery, and- captured Lit without the loss of a
man. The Oaptalo acknowledged that he hadl
been sold by the Yank, and it was not until'
then that they were aware of the fact that,
General Sill's whole corps bed left Frankfort.;
But General Dumont's forcer; soon let them.
Itnow that it was not the "battle of the kegs'
when he attacked them. .It was three men
and two empty beer kegs that kept the rebels
from burning all the bridges in, the neighbor
hood of Frankfort.

It seems to us like the sudden termination of
a beautiful vision ; or, like the still more sud
den stoppage of the most entrancing note in
the sweetest music, which converts melody into
melancholy, that Ida should have died—died!
when most enshrined in love—died when
her infant heart and mind were just expanding
into the first, fresh beauty and attraction of
childhood. Arid let it is so! We feel the
dreadful fact pressing at our heart. It records
itself in our tears,
and her monument has al
ready been erected in our memory. It may be
sinful mournfully to resist, just for a moment,
the decree which struck this darling down. It
may be impious to ask why the shaft was not
sped where less of love and beauty would have
been sacrificed. God forgive us if it is so ! The
sin was conceived with our great love for chit
dreu—and while heaveu continues to claim
such beauty and childish perfection as go
down into the little grave of Ida, once more to
bloom in terrestrial scenes, parch must continue
to be a barren waste and a cheerless abode. The
assurance that such lost ones are in Heaven,
can be better appreciated by those who have
never been stricken, than those who have felt
the full anguish of such a bereavement. Time
and faith alone can afford sufficient consolation
for such harts.
Perhaps Ida was too beautiful and sweetly
innocent for this.world. We at leas; lay this
consolation to our hearts. That she was a most
remarkable child, those who loved her best will
longest remember. Young as she was, she
knew that there was a God—a Saviour —a
Heaven, which is inhabited by the innocent,
of which Christ himself has said, "Of such is
the Kingdom of Heaven."
Her last words, as if inspired by the scenes
then breaking on her vision, were that she was
going away—far away behind the stars—far,
tar, to Heaven. Could a sage have uttered
oroiounder wet ds of true prophecy ? No ! And
Ida is in Heaven !

In the Name and by the hathertty

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,
ANDREW G. CURTIN,
GOVERNOR OF THE SAID COMMONWEALTH.
Wasszas, It is a good thing to render thanks
unto God for all His mercy and loving kind-
I=
Therefore, I, ANDIIIII9 G. Comm, GOvernor
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do re
commend that THURSDAY, THE 27 th DAY OF
NOVEMBER NEXT, beset apart by the people
of this Commonwealth, as a day of solemn Prayer
and Thanksgiving to the Almighty :—Giving
Him humble thanks that He has been gracious
ly pleastd to protect our free institutions and
Government, and to keep us from sickness and
pestilence—and to cause the earth to bring
forth her increase, so that our garners are
choked with the harvest—and to look so favor
ably on the toil of His children, that industry
has thriven among us and labor had its reward;
and also that He has delivered us from the
hands of our enemies—and filled our officers
and men in the field with a loyal and intrepid
spirit, and given them victory—and that He
has poured out upon us (albeit unworthy) other
great and manifold blessings :
Beseeching Him to help and govern us in His
steadfast fear and love, and to put into our
minds good desires, so that by His continual
help we may have a right judgment in all
things :
And especially praying Him to give to Obria
tian churches grace to hate the thing which is
evil, and to utter the teachings of truth and
righteousness, declaring openly the whole
counsel of God :
And mist heartily entreating Him to bestow
upon our civil rulers, wisdom and earnestness
in council, and upon our military leaders, zeal
and vigor in action, that the fires of rebellion
may be quenched—that we, being armed with
His defence, may be preserved from all perils,
and that hereafter our people, living in peace
and quietness, may, from generation to genera
tion, reap the abundant fruits of His mercy,
and with joy and thankfulness praise and mag
nify His holy name.

Given under my hand and the great seal of the
State, at Harrisburg, this Twentieth day of
October, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the
Commonwealth the eighty-seventh.
