HARRISBURG, PA
Tuesday Afternoon, November 4, 1862.
LET US NOT BE MISTAKEN.
The men who have been struggling with the
rebellion of the slave holders, are about to be
taught stern lessons. They have yet to
learn how to suffer, what it is to sacrifice home
and kindred. The realities of war have not
yet been made apparent to the lovers of free
dom in the free states. The day is not far dis
tant, however, when the solemn truth will be
developed in a civil war in the free states, such
as never before crimsoned civilization in blood,
or convulsed society and domestic peace with a
carnage more complete and direful. The.same
influence which accomplished the rebellion of
the south against the federal government, is
now steadily at work revolutionizing the free
states in favor of the rebel conspirators. The
attempt Is not a direct effort to bring the peo
ple out boldly in support of the southern con
federacy. Bat as Democratic victories are
achieved, the result is made the same by claim
ing that the effort is one of disapproval of all
the acts of the federal administration. This
disapproval is of course calculated to Weaken
and destroy the power now coping with rebel
lion—to abridge and curtail the authority and
force arrayed for the preservation of the 'Union,
and thus emphatically and permanently render
ineffectual and powerless a government estab
lished by our fathers for the preservation of
liberty and the promotion of a tree people's
prosperity.
Let us not be mistaken, then, in the purposes
of the Democratic hordes at this juncture of
the national history. They mean war on the
government. They do not assert hostility to
the administration of Abraham Lincoln merely
as a part of the policy of a party, or as a trick
to hold together the ignorant and besotted par
tizans who follow at their call. It is a delibe
rate, well conceived and cautiously planned
purpose to overthrow the President, and force
him either voluntarily to resign, or fly in ter
ror and dismay from the White House. This
is what the rebels demanded before they armed
to resist the Government, and this is what was
pledged by the Democracy of the north before
James Buchanan's term of office bad expired.
It was never believed at the south that Abra
ham Lincoln would be inaugurat,d President of
the United States. It is not anticipated at the
south that he will be permitted to fill the term
allotted to him by the Constitution, because
the leaders of the Democratic party in the free
states are pledged to prevent it, by force of
arms, by betrayal, or by any means which will
effect the object.
Let us not be mistaken ! The loyal men of
the free states must be up and doing. "Steel
and lead" are nearer to their throats and hearts
than most of them imagine, and anarchy only
waits the call of the men who prepared its
furies, to launch forth and carry desolation to
every hearth and altar in the land. Theslave
holding aristocracy of the south demand the
humiliation of the free north. This the leaders
of the corrupt factions of the Democratic party
are preparing to accomplish. The slaveholders
are weary of the war, and desire peace, but it
must be a peace with a full recognition of all
they ever demanded—with slavery in power in
the territories, with its upholders traversing the
north in quest of fugitives—with its abettors in
authority in the judiciary, and with its rights
made paramount over all other rights, interests
and enterprises in the land. With the Demo
cratic party in power, this will all be accom
plished. With the Democratic leaders in pos
session of the army and navy, their first object
would be to guard the institution of slavery, to
secure the Constitutional rights of traitors, to
recognise the prerogatives of the rebellion, and
then to turn in fury on every man who pro
claimed himself an unconditional enemy to the
instil ution of slavery.
Let us not be mistaken The signs of the
times indicate a change in the course of this war.
It is no longer to be a war on traitors. Those
in arms against the government, will become,
not a foe whom our armies are to pursue and
conquer and destroy, but rather an organiza
tion of " chivalrous gentlemen," whom it must
become our duty to admire and admit to our
localities. Freedom must be trampled under
foot, because the Democratic leaders of the day
have decreed that it is fanatical to recognise all
its powers and franchises. Slavery must be
made a part of the policy of the -government,
Its aristocracies must be re-instated in power—
its excesses must be pandered to, and its de
mands answered, because it has rights in the
Constitution superior to those of the labor that
is free. These are the issues, these the claims,
these the principles of the Democratic leaders.
They have inscribed them on their banners.
They have sworn to enforce them with " steel
and lead," and therefore, in the course of the
triumph of passion over reason and prejudice
over intelligence, we may also expect the inau
guration of a rebellion in the north second
only to that in the south, in its assaults on free
men and free institutions. In fact the cry has
already been raised, and already we bear men
proclaim " death to the abolitionists "—which
means, carnage and slaughter and desolationito
the Bona of freedom. What more can the
friends of freedom require to arouse, not their
fears, but their energies. If we are to perish
for our faith in freedom, let the blow be struck
at once. Let the word be at once given that •is
to make Us lime and this antagonism in di
vision among the men of the free states. Bet
ter now than later. And therefore,
" To your tents, 0 Israel."
Corr. F. P. Minter, of Gen. Buell'sarmy sends
ns a copy of the address which the rebel Gen-
Braxton Bragg issued to the people of Kentucky,
when he and his horde of cut-throat, ravishers
of virtue and despoilers of defenceless homes in
vaded that State. It is alike in sentiment and
tone to the addresses which Frank Hughes
issued to the people of Pennsylvania during the
last election, and is in harmony with the epi
thet "abolitionist," in attacking the Union men
of the south as the same class of men are attack
ed in the north with the same approbrium. Had
Frank Hughes' name been affixed to this ad
dress, or had it appeared in the editorial col
umns of the Patriot as original, it would have
been received
. as sound Democratic doctrine by
the faithful all over the state.
FROM THE QUAKER CITY
Correspondence of the Telegraph.]
Pma.sols.pEas, Nov. 2d, 1862
When I bid you farewell on the evening train
in the depot at Lancaster, last Friday, I pro
mised that I would write you a line from the
commercial metropolis, conveying anything
which might strike my fancy at the time. But
a Sabbath day in the Quaker City has no con
nection with either the fanciful, the romantic,
or even the political. It is all reality here—
that reality, in its subdued order, peaceful re
pose, and genial blessedness which is supposed
to lead the soul of man from those sordid
longings that have made money the root of all
evil. The reality of a Philadelphia Sabbath
is the reality of order—business, repose and rest,
with only such social animation out of which a
man comes refreshed for a week of labor. No
other city in the world presents the same ap
pearance as that which is exhibited in what I
must call a Philadelphia Sabbath. London and
Paris are the same on all days. Days are not
distinguished by appearances in any of the
cities of the old world. The same confusion—
the same outward signs of business—fashi. n at
her hundred shrines—vice in rags or flaunting
in silks and ribbons—all the same in the citie,
of the old world, throughout the three hundred
and sixty-five days. The characteristics of
European cities have in a measure imparted
themselves to most of the American cities,
Philadelphia excepted. Boston, with all her
grave, puritanical notions and objections to
smoking in the street, lacks in a real respect
for Sabbath. New York is decidedly worse than
London in this particular—and thus, where
ever I have been, either in the old or the new
world, I have invariably noticed the lack of
that exalted and benignant respect for the Sab
bath, which distinguishes the people of Phila
delphia. I will not write that vice dues not
exist here. That would be absurd, as vice 1, ',-
lows the accumulation of bricks and mortar as
steadily as fevers follow fogs. But the vice of
Philadelphia is in subjection to the better ac
tions of the people. It is not the characteristic
of the town. It is rather the fault of those
who seek it out as they pass by virtue, intelli
gence, morality and religion, all of which in
vite a man to noble emulation, on every side,
in this magnificent city. Bat enough of this—
as it is too well known to need illustration in
what I intend should be an epistle devoted to
other facts and intelligence.
After I left you, and during my ride to Phila
delphia, on Friday evening last, and in fact the
greater part of the time since then, I could not
divest my mind of the reflection produced by
the great changes which have taken place in
Harrisburg within the past few years. I was once
a citizen of the state capital, and imagined that
I had still there a circle of acquaintances.—
Alas, I was disappointed in this thought, dar
ing my last short sojourn in my old home.
Four days at the Jones House convinced me of
this fact. In . its spacious office, its extensive
reading room, and elegant parlors, I could pass
hours, and every face I gazed upon was that of
a stranger. I was a stranger in the street—l
was a stranger eating salt among strangers,
where once I lived as blithe a boy as ever
whistled on a street corner. Since then, the
world has taught me a some strange stern les
sons. I know what it is to deal with honest
meu—have seen fraud become pampered--live
luxuriously—maintain its credit on false oaths—
wreck intellects by its perjuries—and still be
come so common in some men, as to loose
almost its hideousness by the familiarity with
which they can accustom themselves to its base
ness, without being called to aco..unt before the
high tribunal of the law.
My sojourn at the J , .nes House was so plea
sant, that you must allow me to devote a por
tion of this letter to give expression to my own
views in relation to that establishment You
remember the old Washington House, and the
rotund form of the landlord who presided there
years ago. Mr. Braun, in his day and genera
tion, was a prince among caterers and landlords.
The recollection of him fills a large share of my
memory. He is dead—long since passed to his
last resting place in the bosom of the earth—
while on the site of the old Washington House
stands that stately and magnificent hotel, the
Jones Reuse, bearing as it should the name of the
owner of the building, Andrew J. Jones, Esq.
it is a monument of his enterprise and liberali
ty, and from one fact which learned while in
Harrisburg, the investment must be very profits
ble for Mr. Jones. I was informed that he bad
purchased the property which adjoins his build
ing on Market Square, which is usei, I believe,
as a private residence, but which Mr. Jones, it
is understood, intends demolishing for the pur
pose of extending the Market street wing of the
Jones Nouse. When this is done, that hotel
will be second to no other house outside of this
city, and will be excelled only by my present
stopping place, the Continental, in the state. of
Pennsylvania. With a knowledge of such facts,
I am not presumptuously dealing with the name
of Mr. A. J. Jones in thus alluding to his en
terprise. Such men are too little known to the
masses of the people. By this enterprise they
amass wealth, and at the same time develop
trade, prompt industry to noble efforts, and
contribute largely to the general prosperity of
entire commonwealths. Mr. Jones was, I be
lieve, the principal proprietor of the Franklin
railroad, and in which he owned a controlling
interest until very recently. This interest, how
ever, I learned, while in conversation with a
gentleman to-day, and while I was compering
the Tones House in its present management fa
vorably with the Continental, that Mr. A. J. Jones
had disposed of to the Pennsylvania railroad
company, for a sum which pays him handsome
ly on his original investment. I also learned
that Mr. Jones was the proprietor of a very large
tract of coal laud in Cumberland county, which
is immensely valuable. The lands which contain
these coal mines would have yielded Mr. Jones
a fabulous income, bad it not been for the in
terruption of business on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. Had that road been unobstructed
by the rebels, these coal mines would have
controlled an immense trade, and as it is,
the possession will some day enable the heirs
of Mr. Jones to live like princes. The accu
mulation of such wealth by individuals in this
country, has always been an enigma to Euro
peans. Wealth in the old world, is a matterof
collection and inheritance. Large fortunes are
not made by a single individual. They are
the accumulation of generations in families,
and hence when individuals, as in the, instance
of Mr. Jones, accumulate great wealth and
quietly invest V i
ieir accumulations n a manner
that is devoid of all ostentation, and which
seems to be for the purpose of avoiding notice
or exciting envy, Europeans naturally regard
it as a fake modesty. Men have purchased a
peerage with less lauded possessions than those
of Mr. Jones, and yet he is willing to live a
quiet, retired gentleman, satisfied with his own
knowledge of what he owns, and justly cars

" These statements may seem strange to you,
but they are nevertheless true. I have taken
particular notice of the crops for several years,
and this is my firm conviction. When you
consider that the yield two years ago was often
twenty and not unfrequently twenty-five bushels
from one bushel sowing, you will readily un
derstand the truth of my statement.
" Nearly one-half of the crop of 1860 was
kept over and marketed with the crop of 1861,
which made the crop of 1861 appear larger than
it really was. This year, there is no large
amount of old wheat to piece out the new
crop ; therefore look out for high prices before
another harvest, it Europe requires a very
large amount of breadstuffs from America."
A notable fact, worthy the consideration of
farmers, is, that the winter wheat has done well
everywhere, the yield frequently reaching
twenty-two and in some Instances twenty-five
bushels to the acre, while the quality is almost
universally extra.

ADVANCE UP THE SHENANDOAH.
Spirited Engagement at Upperville:
THE TOWN OCCUPIED BY GEN. PLELSANTON
A General Engagement Expected.
OBE SOLDIERS EAGER FOR THE COMBAT
The advance of the army of the Potomac up
the left side of the Blue Ridge, is being pushed
forward with all dispatch.
General Pleasanton occupied Upperville this
afternoon, after a spirited engagement with
the enemy for about four hours. We had none
killed but several wounded. The enemy left
three of their dead on the field.
Upperville is four miles from Ashby's Gap,
which the rebels are endeavoring to hold. Our
troops now hold all the gaps up to Ashby's,
with every prospect of holding that tomorrow.
There was some force of the enemy today in
front of Snicker's Gap on the left bank of the
Shenandoah, to dispute our passage at that
point.
The rumor of the invasion of Maryland by
the way of Downsville, is not believed at these
headquarters.
By the last reports from the rear, the army is
ready and prepared to fight a general battle at
any time and place where the enemy may see
proper to meet them. It is in better condition
than it has ever been, with the exception of a
want of more cavalry.
ARRIVAL OF SICK SOLDIERS.
The steamer Cahabia has arrived from New
Orleans with dates to the 28th ult. She brings
240 sick soldiers. The following died during
the passage : A. G. Chatterton, James Camp
bell, Julius B. Lathrop and N. G. Coder of the
Sixth Michigan.
Seventy-three Union refugees arrived at New
Orleans ou the 27th from Texes, to join the
Union army, desiring to return and fight for
their homes, from whence they have been driven
by the rebels.
Col. Paine, of the 2nd Louisiana regiment,
has recovered.
Capt. Wm. B. Eaton, of Boston, has been
appointed commander of the 11. B. gunboat
Rhode Island.

There has been no movement of rebel troops

ful of the curiosity to pry into other people's
business, for which us Yankees are so notorious.
Mr. Jones deserves the retirement, too, that
he is about to seek, as I learned while in Har
risburg, in the privacy of a spacious and ele
gant mansion which he is preparing to erect on
the banks of the beautiful Susquehanna—banks
which are to Harrisburg what the banks of the
Rhine are to the cities of Germany. In such a
home he will find rest from hie labors, repose
from his over-taxed mind, and that rich reward
of peace which a life of virtue and honesty is
sure to bring.
I have written so much of the owner of the
Jones House, that it may perhaps be proper for
me to write a word of the manner In which it
is conducted under its present management.
I claim great ability in deciding on the merits
of a hotel. My pride rests on that claim— and
therefore I want the reader to accept as "gospel
truth," that which I may set down in this al
ready overgrown letter, concerning the landlord
of the Jones House. During my four days so
journ in the establisment I was never better
treated, fared more sumptuously or was more
liberally accommodated. McClellan is a prince
of landlords. He knows, emphatically, how
to keep a hotel—and those who read this let
ter, and are willing to place confidence in the
testimony of an old traveler, may take my word
for the fact, that the Jones House is now one of
the best conducted hotels in the United States.
On this I pledge my reputation as one of the
hardest travelers to please that ever scrawled
his name on the register of a hotel.
Are you satisfied with this fulfillment of my
promise to write to you ? You should be

Horrible Punishment Inflicted on a
The American has a letter from Dutton, Caro
line county, Maryland, giving an account of
the lynching oi a negro who was under arrest
for having outraged and murdered a little girl,
the daughter of Edgar Plummer.
On Saturday night, a large number of excited
people came into town, stirrounded the jail,
forced open ihe doors, and took the prisoner
out and hung him. While he was suspended
fifteen . bollbts perforated his body. He was
then taken down, when his throat was cut by
the_ infuriated. mob, . and his body dragged
through the streets It was finally taken to the
front of the negro church, where it was cut to
pieces and burnt.
After the artillery firing ceased between Gen
erals Pleasanton and Stuart, in front of Philo
mont, , yesterday a4ernoon, the rebels came out
into an apple orchard and fired from behind the
trees. They were finally repulsed, we losing
one man killed and fourteen wounded. John
Williams, of Company 0, Third Indiana cav
airy, was killed ; two men in that regiment
were wounded, and six missing. The following
are the names of the wounded in the Eighth
Pennsylvania cavalry :
Lieutenant J. H. Carpenter, Co. B, in arm.
Corporal T. L. Kinser, Cu. B, leg.
Sergeant Zadock Bowen, severely, in side.

Daniel O'Brien, Co. G, slightly.
Robert Montgomery, Co. L, slightly.
Joseph Mutter, Co. M, slightly, in leg.
Three of the Eight Pennsylvania are missing
Immediately after the occupation of this
place yesterday, General Pleasanton sent a de
tachment of the Eighth Pennsylvania cavalry,
under Major Keenan, down the road leading
towards Bloomfield. When they approached
the woods, about a mile distant, artillery open
ed upon them. Presently the enemy brought
two guns out in a field to the left of the road,
and continued the fire. A section of Lieut.
Pennington's battery was brought up on the
hill near the town and returned the enemy a
fire with fine effect.
