HARRISBURG, PA.
Thursday Afternoon, October 93, int
GEN. BCO2II.
This veteran hero and loyal American is once
more before the public., He appears in the
character of a vindicator of history, making de
velopments at once awful and startling, with
regard to the means 'used and the manner of
bringing about the great struggle in which the
Government is now involved. Gen. Scott
letiv4 room but for one inference, which IS,
that thin Administration of James Buchanan
with Jams Buchanan *melt', brought , about
the slave hglders' rebellion, afforded its leaders
water' alifor its organization —conferred on the
coespiratorsitlin power to strike at the Govern
ment, and stripped the country of all the ma
terial of defence, by rending abroad our ships
of war, and so divkitog the army, and march
ing its divisions to diffir.rent localities, that its
union would be tendered \ impossible' for any
good, when the traitors Wko.surrounded ` Bu
chanan were prepared to strike the blow. It
must be remembered that all tikse preparations
were really made before the election which
placed Abraham Lincoln in the,F r esidentitil
chair. Buchanan and leis Cabiuetwere engaged
in preparing the way for the predpi ation of ft
rebellion, before any demonstration f aggree
@ion had been made by the people of t e north
on the rights of those of the south, proving cort
elusively that the revolt was concluded epon
before a etuse for its organization had been as
signed. and that it would have been precipita
ted bad Douglas himself been elected to ' the
Presidency.
The letter of Gen. Scott proves conclusiv,ely
that the rebellion against the Government was ,
organised during and encouraged by a Demo-
math adreinistratibn. This 4 a point which
we have more than once insistell upon, and now
that the historical fact has beeu established, we
Seel that our declarations have also been verified., ,
Time and the good sense of the people can only
eradicate the cause of the rebellion, while the
strong arm of loyal men Must be relied on to
crush the rebellion itself.
RESISTING THE DRAFT
We must look at things logically, and trace
effects back to musts. While we do so, it Is not
possible that we shall please all of our neigh
bors. Therefore we begin ar once by asserting
that wher.3ver the draft is resisted, it is the effect
of a cause traceable immediately to those who
have been opposing the acts of Congress and
the efforts of the Administration to put down
rebellion. The people who oppose the draft
have had their instruction from the politicians
who oppose the Administration. The law, in
the eyes of the masses, is the man who enforces
it. If the drafting Commissioner can be suc
cessfully driVen from certain localities, the de
luded men whose infatuation and prejudices
lead them on to such resistances, believe that
they have actually escaped the reepon4bilities
of the draft, if not absolutely set at naught the
law itself. These men argue that if other men in
higher positions dare denounce a law and hold
up to scorn those who enacted and those who are
delegated for its execution, why have not they
the right to resist such laws as are distasteful to
their notions or seem infringements of what they
suppose are among thfir most sacred rights. If
the Democratic pees and - the Democratic lea
dere dare denounce the President of the United
States for carrying out the deliberate decrees of
Congress, the men who now resist the draft,
argue among themselves and justify their con
duct, by claiming that they have a right to
oppose all laws to which they may object.
Resistance to the draft in Pennsylvania, is
one of the natural effects of the 'Principle and
teaching by which the late elections in this
state were conducted. " Vote the Democratic
ticket, and the war will be atan end ;" "oppose
the Abolitionists, and taxation will cease ;,
"put down the Black Reputilictms and the draft
will not be made." These were the issues raised
before the election, and the reeietancete the draft
since the election, is the natural effect of such
a surge of electioneering. The men whavoted
f or t h e Denal'iCratic 'ticket, in five eases out of
ten, did ,'o because they had assurances just
such as we 'save quoted—d d so, too, because
they hoped thezeby to realise their escape of
draft and Mandel.' immediately , the one by re
sisting the law, an the other by repudiating
the honest debts of i. , he nation. They were
taught this by a Demo: racy which has been
counselling resistance to tke government in all
its acts to put doWn rebellion. The man, thiii,
who leststs.the dr s'f,t, is no went,: than he who .
Is continually denuMning the laws of Coppola.
The one is no more. bit4ing than the other. A.
man is no more liable to` tepert himself alter
he has been drafted, than 'lli another bound to
support the proclamationt.,lnaminating the
slaves of rebels or the lave oonfle.%!etielt the ere-
Party of traitors. He who resists.pese laws in
words or in deeds, is equally criminal with the
man or the mob that resists the !haft. The
one controls and impels the other. loth are
equally guilty—and if justice is inipetthili both
will be equally punished.
So far se the draft Is concerned in titia',state,
we know that it will be fairly and sternly' en
forced. It is not the character of Gov. Cusp
to shriek ft o gi the performance of 'a' duty ittl
the enforcement of a law. Ile is not the man`
to be intimidated atthis stage of the great crisis
through which he has so successfully carried
Pennsylvania These who calculate that be
can be deterred from the enforcerhent Of the
law, do not know as num; Therefore weadvim
the good people of Pennsylvania, everywhere
within, the limits of the coMmeswealth, psi
tleutly and patriotically to submit fah the law.
Lt is tilt law, and es such will be enforced;''
PHYSICAL CULTURE
One of the pastors of this city, on Sunday
last, casually alluded to a subject, in the course
of his sermon relating to other high and im
portant points. of human culture, which, as he
declared, we agree, has been too much neglect
ed by the people of this country. While we
devote a great deal of time, and expend large
sums of money, In the training and education
of our children, an important feature in that
education is too often neglected, and through,
this neglect, all that has been achieved in
another direction oftimprovement and elev ation,
very often remained ineffectual, impractical for
personal benefit, if not entirely melees for good
in , any effort of the individual. The subject
alluded to, was that of , a proper physical train
ing--4 development of the strength, energy and
health of man.
In this country, refinement with both sexes,
is often &dined to be ease, inactivity and indo
lence. A. gentleman, with some people, is he
who does nothing—and in like manner, does
a woman,' with the same class, owe her title to
lady. It is a common expression with some
people to fold their arms, and declare, " well,
I intend to act the gentleman (or ladY as the
case may be) and take my ease." Of course
such an expression is the eildenee of the lead
knowledge of what constitutes a real lady or
gentleman, because to be either implies the per
formance of someligh and noble duty, or the
possession of some rare and lofty ability; The
character of the gentleman or the lady, of the
true man or woman, is not made up of indo
lence. It is formed, of a combination of such
talents as at once develope the , mind and giVe
force and effect to the physical attributes.'
The children of this generation, who are to
form the men and women of the next, will be
compelled to assume a responsibility, and dig
charge a duty which the men ei3d women of no
generation In' any other natiou for a thousand
years past, were ever called on to assume or
discharge.! In both it will require something
'more than mental culture and refinement-=
more even than moral training, but without
ench a training all other influences for man's
improvement would fail. Our young men must
be trained to physical effort and endurance.—
They must be taught to feel that on the force
of their labor with the hands, the labor which
swarthier beneath the heat of the sun or sweats
before the fire of the forge, much will depend,
nay all will depend for living and prosperity. -
Then Will follow physicial training,
.the train
ins of the limbs which will add to the strength,
of the mind, until as the influence takes hold
Of the people, and one generation improves in
this particular_ ou another, the raca'of men will
become what God really intended they should ,
be, perfect and glorious, physically and men
tally.
Why should not this physical improvement
Commence at once f There is present necessity ;
of it, and no surer means of reaching it can;
possibly be pros. nted than in the drill and lifw
of a soldier. The camp baa too often been made
the locality for the development of mere brute
force. Why should it not be used as an im
provement of the physical man P This will be
done just as soon as we make physical training
and perfection a duty and an honor such as
Greece in all her cities made it by decking
with distinction those who aimed at its achieve
ments. A soldier could be thus elevated, and
made more effectual in service, than the ~man
can become who is held to discipline by threats
of harsh treatment or the dogged acknowl
edgenient of the superiority and power of one
Man. Introduce into the army an order of
exercises such as was established by the olym
pic games and contests. Or, if this 'wilt' not
do, make such exercises as immottalized those
who contended in the olympic gamma, part of
the education of our youth, and when they be
come men and find themselves either in 'Conf
ound or the ranks of the army, their influence
and their services will be doubly enhanced to '
what they- would be, did they lack such
training and kthaviedge. . .
This is a very important subject. We owe a
! grateful acknowledgement to the divine who
,even casually alluded to it, which Would he,
greatly increased, if he enlarged Upon it as
time afforded him the opportunity to discuss
its merits. The subject rightfully belongs to
the pulpit. It . Is one with which - the press
effect little, except feebly to second, the .. . great,
influence of the pulpit in encouraging the pet,-
Iple to give it a serious and speedy attention.'
as it enters into the economy of
Organizations, we earnestly commend it to the
adoption and improvement of every father in
the land. -
RADICALISM.
A sturdy western cotemporary, the St. Louis
Denuarat, says that it takes courage to make a radi
cal. The world has proven this long since,
though the truth is well uttered by the Demo
crat. A radical is necessarily a man who cares
little for the opinions of others. To be a risdi
cal, a man must be in advance of the multitude.
A radical time-server would, therefore, be ati
Impossibility. Looking, then, to the men and
the Petties t whose positions are to be mistrusted,
we must afways direct our eyes to those coma
eying middle grounds—those who congratulate
themselves upon their freedom from " inns,"
arid whose negative virtues are evideneed
chiefly by, their exemption from positive nut&
idea, which they invariably denominate vices,
We have been often surprised at the evildrint
pride with which men of iritelligenoe, and men
laying claim to the ordinary allowance of °our-
age in every department, have boasted of their
remoteness from extremes upon leading qttee='
done, and their evident reliance upon tbeir po
sition as a claim to general favor. Every ques
tion is understood to have a right and a wrong
fn it, as much asevery living body mint 'have
its extremities. Vivre is no more mason
.Why
We should look for the right in the middle of , a ,
question, half way between tbe extremes, than
'eUhould look for the head of an animal in
tide =Addle of its body. While, therefore, the
Ocepparmy of a conservative, middle positi on
may iMt prime foie evidence' that its °rampant is
not all 'stung, it ie just as clesir prima facie evi
dence that is not at the nine time• all right.
The position,tuay be eminently a safe one for
the occupant, oh the score of policy, but the
*in / position may \ Olutwil.9 be looked corO
tle to 'OM right mr, **left. •
pentiegluonia Malty, telegraph, Cho - oitav Aftvmoon, October 23, 1862
To look for examples of " middle men " we
need go no further than thequestion of slavery.
Nor need we go-outtilde of our own community.
just at the present time, in Harrisburg, thege are
a great many industriously engaged in button
ing and unbuttoning their political waistcoats.
The leader, who for a long time has indicated
the fashion toolitich their opinions were toile.
cut, and the condition in which they`were to be
worn, who has always heretofore been of the
strictest ‘! strait-jacket:l •.order Admself, has
suddenly taken to buttoning and unbuttoning
his own waistcoat, and, consequently, a great
many others are similarly employed. One day
their piditical garments fit upon. their , political
persons with considerable closeness, and the
next day quite loosely.
Dickens, in one of his novels, describes the
operation of a bashful youth, who found himself
in society withotit knowing *tether ; his waist
coat should be billtoried or unbuttoned. He
consequently compromised the matter by eon
tinning partly to button and unbutton the gar
ment, without getting it arranged in either
way. This is a fair illustration of the-conduct
of many of. our politicians. ;If we are'
to be permitted to carry on the, simile,
for the -sake of further ifinstration, we will
say that the President's proclamation is the
garment which occasions all the trouble.
Shall it be worn as a neat fitting *At, buttoned
and stt•appedto the body, : or worn as a cloak,
with only a slightfastening, to be easily thrown
off in case 'cif emergency'? The tad that the
President, whose position entities his opinion
to great weight, and whose favor is often
extremely convenient to the potseasor, has
prescribed- the garment; makes it necess,try
that those who desire to be known as
his followers, shout!' iireite ft in sortie Corm,
just aanee.vssary as that , The uniform of the
soldier ihould be of the color worn by the cap
tain—but what form C That's the question.
Some among us appear to-be inclined to wear it
nearest the heart—others as an outer garment,
to be put on tutoordieg to the exigencies of the
weather, and still others as a mask.
but aside from all illustiation comes the ie
riot's question, why we should laot—why eve
ry man should not4ake decided ground upon
the slavery issue—the President's proclamation
included, as well as every other question of
real practical interest. It is a live issue, and
the great issue of the day. It is an issue
which must be decided, and decided in
favor of one extreme or the other. It can
not be compromised. No middle ground ,will
be the basis of its settlement. Compromises
have been tried, until the very life of the na l
lion has been compromised. A definite deci
sion upon one side or the other must 60011
come. In the language of the President, "the:
country cannot continue to exist half free and
half slave."
What would be thought of any man who
would boast of being conservative 'upon the
subject of religion—of being in favor of neith
er God nor Mammon, the two extremes? What ,
would be thought of any man who would
boast of being in favor of law nor crime ; of
truth nor falsehood ; of honesty nor knavery ?
All of these are extremes, but they are no
more extremes than the positions assumed and ,
occupied by men who are by no means fa
natics, but men of thought and reason, upon
the paramount issue of freedom and slavery.
Conservatism is no more a virtue upon the
slavery question, than it is Upon . any other
question to which there is a right and a
wrong.

Wmawit!ToN, Oct. 22
A large number of propositions have been
made to the Navy Department for the destruc

reward be offered to warrant the undertaking.
As a general answer *Vail such applications it
inayttik i aly stilted that than is do doubt the
lieptutnient would cheerfblry bby the vessel
from any capturing party, and pay half a mil
lion dollars for her, and in thwevent of her de
struction $300,00d, the latter payment, how

A tanner who receives hides from other par
ties (owners) upon an agreement to tan the
same by the piece or by the pound, may re
move the t ynned leather without ieepection to
such limners, vihenever it is ready to go forward,
having first obtained and filed in his office the
written certificate of the assessor and collector
of the district in which the tannery is situated
that in their judgment such removal will not
lie prejudicial to the - just administration of the
excise law .; provided that every tanner so re
moving farmed leather shall make a monthly
retain to the assessor of the district of the num
ber and Weight r the sides or pieces of leather
so removed ; and provided that he shall furnish
to the assessor monthly the inspector's certifi
cate of the *eight and quality of the leather
so' removed, during the preceding month, and
that the tax shall be paid in the district where
the tannery is situated.
Little of any importance is attached to ru
