DESTUCTION OF A PRINTING OFFICE
IN CARLISLE
We are opposed to mob law. The spirit of
violence, when it le manifested in the passion
ate resentments of the people, never tends to
the righting of a wrong or the vindication of a
right. Once such a spirit gets possession of the
people, and the maFees are endonraged to insane
amanita on those who may be guilty of great
wrongs, justice will loose its sublime sway, and
suspicion and hate and vindictivness take the
place of reason and trial, and fair conviction
for the punishment of crime. But while we
bell« ve in the maj sty of the law in one case,
we also begin to think it is about time that
the law be invoked in other cases, in order that
the passions and the prejudice of the communi
ty be not stirred to outbreak and violence, by
the excesses of those who make what they call
the exercise of a right, the pretext for attack
ing law, denouncing authority and inviting
general revolt. The course of the Democratic
press of Pennsylvania, for the last year, orever
ince 'he precipita ion of the Democratic slave
holders' rebellion, has been a united and what
seems to be a premeditated effort to embarrass
the federal government. No opportunity was
left slip which afforded any meaus of assault on
the national administration. The acts and the
excesses of traitors were passed by in silence, to
give force and fury to the attacks on the acts
and the purposes of loyal men. Day after day,
in this city, the public have been disgusted, in
censed and outraged by such opposition, an op-
position at once breathing defiance to the law,
ridicule of the authorities and contempt for the
men who are risking their lives in the defence
of the nation. Within the control of a regu
larly organized committee, week after week,
the organs f Democracy throughout the State,
have teemed with the same description of attacks,
until more than one press was threatened with
destruction, but the deed staved off by the
very party that had been maligned by the men
thus threatened. In this city, we know that
the indignation of the people and the soldiers
would have burst forth in mob violence, against
the authors of these same attacks, had not law
abiding and order-loving Republicans allayed
the fiery resentment of the masses. Honest
men telt that perhaps the evil would exhaust
itself, but in this they have been disappointed.
The same bitter hate which prompted leading
Democrats to give aid and comfort to the
rebellion from its inception to its precip
itation, still prompts them secretly to en
courage its fell a frit. They defy the law
while they do this, and they encourage a mob
far more powerful than that which destroyed
a treasou-sympathishig locofoco newspaper es
tablishment in Carlisle. The one (if evils fol
low In a train r.f evils) was the natural result
of the other. If Democratic journalists persist
in encouraging a few hundred slaveholders to
destroy the American Union and render pow
erless he American Government, should they
complain if the spirit of loyalty among the
people stimulates them to a similar destruction
--a destruction made necessary by the highest
and holiest laws of self-preservation. We re
peat, that the editors of newspapers thus
engaged in encouraging southern mobs, have
no right to complain if a northern mob (as
those can only be called who allow themselves
thus to be moved,) run to exceHi, and turn in
fury on their betrayers, the common enemies
alike of free government and free men.
In the case of the destruction of the Carlisle
Volunteer office, we of eour-m must condemn the
act. It was a violation of the law. That fact
alone, is sufficient to elicit our condemnation.
But is it wrong to let the public know that the
act was done by a party of soldiers about to
start on a distant campaign in defence of the
Government ? Nor will the supposition be un
fair to assert that the same men thutstarting
wanted to destroy an enemy who might give
them some trouble in the rear. As soldiers, they
were bound to fight and put down the common
enemy. The Volunteer, week after week, at
tacked the cause which these soldiers were
sworn to defend. Its editor (a sympathiser
with the traitor Breckeuridge) wade no con
cealment of his preferences in the present
struggle. His voice and his pen were both
against the Government. He openly proclaim
ed his enmity to the authority which was en
gaged in a life and death struggle with traitors;
and while thus employed, he defied the law
and its authorized defenders. Aud yet all this
dues not justify mob-violence, however it watt
influential in provoking the mob spirit. In the
eyes of the law, the soldiers become criminaht
who thus essayed to rid the Government of a
dangerous and determined enemy—an enemy
not so much made up of the personal efforts of
Bretton, (for be himself is impet,mt for harm
and utterly imbecile in all he attempts) as it
was a wrong growing out of the influence if
such a course of conduct should be suffered to ,
continue without rebuke from some quarter.i
It is time, therefore, that the law take some'
notice of the traitors who ply their business,
under the shadow of the liberty of the press.;
It is time that a great example be made- of;
every man who thus stabs at the Goveinment—'
that the press which mocks at the calamities'
of the people, and seeks to add to the national
embarrassments by striking with ridicule at
the national power, be either made amenable
to the law, or the law itself will find it a dia.
Oult task to save such traitors from popular
indignation and punishment
Tire number of sick, wounded, convalescent
arid paroled Soldiers in and about Washington
is 84,440.
MARK THE EFFECT-HOW THE fIiHL-
LIES ROAR
Our earnest efforts to secure the civil right s
of the men who are now in arms defending the
glory and holier of the goverwient, tiave aroused
the bloody propensitiesof the warlike crew who
breathe death and destruction through the col
umns of the slave-holder's organ. This morn
ing that sheet is in kperfect blaze. Mars him
self never shone with such warlike fury, as does
the Patriot. And why it Because the TELEGRAPH
insists that the soldiers who do the fighting
should also have the right to do the voting.
This the Patriot declares shall not be—and in
true bully style, so much in keeping with the
traitors whom it emulates, it speaks of steel and
lead, and blusters and bellows,. like some over
grown, over-confident and self-conceited black
guard, who has bad a neighborhood under terror
without ever raising an arm or striking a manly
blow. Would it not be well for the poor drivel
lers who are now pouring their venom through
the columns of the slave-holder's organ, to re
serve their steel and lead for the traitors who
are in arms—or is it part of their business to or
ganize rebellion in the north, that treason and
rebellion in the south may become a subst n
tial as it is now a malignant success. The dirty
work which the Patriot has already done for
traitors would seem to justify the inference that
it is ready for any crime, for any outrage, for
any desperate undertaking ; and now that it
imagines itself in power, it prates glibly of
steel and' lead. Bo far as we are : personally
concerned, and so far as one man can go in his
own personal strength and courage, we scorn
the threats •and defy the bloody intentions of
the writer in the Patriot who boasts ito openly of
steel and lead, and venture the assertion that,
like a craven coward, he would go into sickly
convulsions at the sight of either.
Now for the soldier's vote. We believe that
his franchise for state officers and for members
of Congress, is as legal as those of the men who
threaten they will disfranchise him even to the
attempt wititateel andl lead ' -Whie , does the
mae who is gallantly fighting the battles of
his country, say to the declaration thus made
by the Patriot, that he is a slave, unworthy of
rank with freemen, and not entitled to a voice
in deciding the preferences of legislative and
executive officers? When we insist that the
soldier should/be heaid—that his vote for state
and legislative officers is valid, the bullies and
assassins who preach treason, anarchy and
riot at the same time, assert that rather than
the soldier shall vote, rather than the freemen
who are in arms should have a voice in the
government, they, the bullies and ass is-ins
aforesaid, will drench the land in blood, will
carry desolation to the homes of the north,
will imitate the cowardly wretches of the soutb,
their natural allies, by attacking the Union
men of Pennsylvania, because the result of the last
I election has impressed them with an idea that the ma
jority of Union mat are in the array, and that with
the masses of the traitor sympathisers at home, these
cowardly, drunken bullies would be more than a match
for the loyal men not in the army. If such thteats
are meant for a challenge, we accept it at once.
Let the steel and lead be displayed whenever it
is convenient, because while we have the power
to wield a pen or strength to speak a word, we
shall denounce the decision which disfranchises
the soldier, and continue to insist that his
right to vote is as just and as legal and as hon
orable as that of the Chief Justice of
.Pennsyl
vania. No threat of personal danger, nor dis
play of steel or lead, no bullying or attack
shall ever restrain us from proclaiming this
conviction, and by every fair and honorable
means assist in making this right of the soldier
one which he can exercise wherever he carries
the banner of his state and the flag of his
country.
ABOLITIONISTS.
There never has been. such a palpable agree
ment among any set of men as that which ex
ists among the Democracy north and south.
Even to the most minute and trifling matters,
this agreement is sedulously cultivated' and
maintained. At first, the southern Democratic
conspirators (fur the entire rebellion is nothing
more or less than a conspiracy of Democrats,)
declared that they would not live in peace un
der a Black Republican administration. In
order to make this declaration good, they armed
to resist the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln
as President of the United States. When they
failed in their opposition to the inauguration,
they seceded from the Unica', and openly be
gan• to waki: - war aiiinai the gov i erbnient.
Then the cry was raised that the south was
struggling for independence, and on this Issue,
for a long time, the battles of the rebellion
were fought. Here let us pause in this state
ment of the facts on the one side, for a refer
ence to facts on the other, in order to make our
comparison good, which is to prove the agree
ment and union between the Democracy of the
south and north. When the southern Demo
cracy rebelled against the government, their
northern brethren were anxious that in the ef
fort of the government to arrest this rebellion,
nothing be done which would be unconstitu
tional. While the torch was blazing to fire the
national capital, and the blades of traitors were
at the throats of loyal men, the northern De
mocracy could see no other danger but that
which might possibly be organised against the
Constitution by any of the attempts of the
government to put down rebellion. Then it
was that those who upheld and defended the
government, were deoounced as abolitionists
The trick was invented by the northern allies;
of traitors, to give force and effect to their sytti
pathy for treason. And now, since the traitor
south has been deluded into the idea that its
allies in the north have succeedxl in defeating
the friends of the government, these southern
conspirators adopt the same idea, and , notif3i
their different Major Generals to denominate thd
armies of the federal government as obeli'
tienists. Here is the union of sentiment between
northern and southern upholders of treason.
Those who support the government at home,
by their loyal votes and voices, with those who
defend it In the field, with their loyal lives and' .
struggles, are all abolitionists. We accept the ,
name, and shall wear it proudly, as long as it
means the abolition of modern Demecracy and'
negro slavery, one and the same thing, as be
ing animated by the same treason. and purpo s e
ofdestroying free goverrunent.l

The defeat of this gentleman, who was a can
didate for re-election to the State Senate, in the
Blair district, has elicited the regret not only
of those personally acquainted with Senator
Hall, but of those also who had a cognisance
of his official course Notwithstanding his de
feat, however, there is that In the contestimd
the result, which proves the great personal
popularity of the man, a fact at once compli
mental:yr' to himself and gratifying to hie friends.
In Blair county, in a poll of but little over
4,000 votes, Hull ran 1,100 ahead of Cochran,
who himself led the ticket. Hall aim led the
ticket 200 votes in Cambria; while Wallace's
vote in Clearfield shows that he made but slight
inroads on Hail in that county. These facts,
in a contest such as was the one through which
Senator Hall. was compelled to pass, with the
worst of - the locofoco party at his heels, and
some of the meanest men in the district.on his
front, speak well for the popularity of the man.
It is a foundation on which be can safely rest
soy aspiration_ With bis irreproachable OW
actor and fine . abilities, it is not likely, Aei.
the voters of his district return from the war,
that Louis W. Hall will be suffered long to re
main in private. The state 'feeds the services
of, such men.

The Movement or Gen. Burnside—lM 81g
Bauristoas, Oct. 27.
An evening paper received the following des
patch from Berlin, Md., this evening :
The movement of General Burnside across
the Potomac at Berlin, of which you were in
formed yesterday, though it has not been fol
lowed by an immediate general advance of our
forces, is undoubtedly an initial movement of
that long promised activity on the part of the
army of the Potomac, which we all hope is to
deal against the rebellion a most staggering
blow.
To-day there has been no movement beyond
gradual, but heavy, reinforcements of General
Burnside in the position he has taken on the
Virginia side of the Potomac, near Lovetteville.
Infantry and artillery (it will not do to say in
what number) have been moving in that direc
tion until it is evident that the movement is no
mere reconnoissance, but in reality an advance
of the left wing of the army. This movement,
it will be observed, brings our left wing, which
was prorionaly in the rear, or nearly iu a.
straight line with the centre, and all the dis
tance from Pleasant Valley to Lovettsville,
nearer to the enemy. In this respect it will be
seen that the movement was a necessary p, e
liminary to placing the army in a position for
an advance, whilst it does not in the least be
tray the plan on which that advance is to be
finally made.
From Lovettsville General Burnside threatens
equally the rebel flank at Winchester and their
line of communication via Front Royal.
There is but little news from the front to-day,
and, as there has been no firing, it is presumed
nothing impotent has occurred.
Gen. Burnside's forces are massed in the vitini-
V of Lovetteville.
Our cavalry and light artillery, under Gen.
Pleasanton, are reported to bave occupied Lees
burg last night, the rebel cavalry force there
retreating before.our advance, but we cannot
now verify the report from any one acquainted
with the facts.
In relatiou,to the rebels , we have numerous
reports, all tending to one conclusion,
that the
main portion, if nut the entire army, have fel
len back beyond Winchester. The fact may be
raid to be certainly established, that they have
deserted the line of the Potomac, and are nei
ther to be found in Charlestown or Martinsburg,
nor Shepherdstown. During several days of
last week, as has been their practice usually be
fore a retreat, they showed themselves in strong
force at various points of our lines, and their
pickets were viciously belligerent, firing at any
and everything. On Saturday all these demon
strations ceased, and their pickets disappeared
entirely from our front.
Refugees from . Winchester are also reported
to have come within our lines, and stated that
their town has been evacuated by the enemy,
who were retreating towards Staunton. I giVe
it only as a report. It is the very general
belief however , that Gen.. Lee is making fait
time towards ordonsville, and that the main
portion'of his army is already well advanced
in that direction.
Everything L. quiet at Harper's Ferry, except
the bustle and stir incident to the' pretence of
a large body of men.
Notwithstanding the predictions that have
beau almost daily made for a week, past of an
advance of the forces on 'Bolivar and Maryland
Heights, 'they are yet quiet in their ten%
engaged with nothing more important than the
usual loties of camp life. The men, invigora
ted by a bracing northwester; appear in the
finest health and spirits. It is admitted that
the army is now fully prepared for offensive
movements, and the present quiet, therefoye,
means nothing.
Our outposts in this direction have been iu
Rai!town for several days, and, it is reasonable
to conclude, now hold Charlestown.
The rain of yesterday wound up last night
in a furious storm of rain and wind that was
severely felt in camps occupying exposed piosi-.
tions on the summit and sides of the mountain.'
On Bolivar and Maryland Heights the - storm i
raged with such fury (hat tents were overturn
ed and men forced to a midnight battle with!
the elements.
Notwithstanding the considerable quantity
of rain that fell yesterday and last night, the ,
river has been but little affected thereby. The:
wager has not risen over "a foot, and wagons
cross the ford at the ferry to day without dim-.
culty. The rain will rather tend to facilitate l
than retard any movements that may be
contemplation 'nil& the influence of the
bright sunshine and dry, wind that has follow.:
ed, it will harden the roads, and place them in,

Winchester was evacuated to-day, it is

Gen. Burnside moved south 'to day, and is
now on his way to Winchester ' meeting on

considerable number of stragglers.
A large fierce is now employed on both the
Baltimore and Ohio and Winchester railroads,
and both will be in running order during the

Our forces will occupy Winchester during the

Is it; believed that General Burnside will
come up with the rear gaurd of Longatreet,
and that a fight will ensue, and that General

The entire army of the Potomac will move
across the river as soon as transportation for

It is a source of congratulation to the officers
in charge of the Quartermaster's Department
that .our troops are comfortably clothed and fed
during this season of coustaut and severe cam

that our troops have no cause to murmur when

In the Name and by the Authority
OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,
ANDREW G. CURTIN,
GOVERNOR OF THE SAID COMMONWEALTH,
A PROCLAMATION.
Wasauss, It is a good thing to render thanks
unto God for all His mercy and loving kind
ness :
Therefore, I, ANDREW G. Cuanx, Governor
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do re
commend that THURSDAY, THE 27 th DAY OF
NOVEMBER NEXT, be set 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 pleased 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 tear 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 Chris
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 most 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.
BY TIES GOVERNOR
ELI SLiFER,
Secretary of the Commonwealth
