THE SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN—IRE CREDIT
OF IRE ADMINISTRATION.
While a certain class of locofoco politicians
are making use of every subterfuge and resort
ing to all kinds of tricks, to ruin the credit and
thus of course thwart the efforts of the present
Administration to cope with the conspiracy of
the slave-holders, it is marvelous as well as
gratify ing to behold the manner in which the
credit of the Administration is sustained by the
shrewd, far-seeing, and close•calculating men
of the country. The Democratic leaders can
manage to induce the mobs who rally beneath
the .11164 of slavery, to strike desperate blows at
the vitality of the government, but the same
leaders have no influence where decency, intelli
gence, or patriotism pievail. They may carry
city and state elections, while the mass of loyal
men are abeent fighting for the honor and
the perpetuity of the government, but they
cannot influence the husiness, or the productive
energies of the country. These are still for the
Government, despite the transient triumphs
of Democracy, and these will ultimately not
only crush out rebellion, but wrest the power
which seems to have been temporarily lodged
in the hands of the bitter enemies of freedom
and fr. e government.
As a plod of the credit of the National Ad
ministratiou, and as evidence of the failures of
the Democratic leaders to ruin and destroy that
credit, the recent bids for the seven-thirty
bonds are convincing and overwhelming.
These bids run to the immense sum of $3O,
000,000, and from par to $4 12 premium. The
Dial, an ably conducted financial journal,
declares this self-abnegation of self is wonder.
ful ; especially as the opponents of the ad
ministration have, during the last political
campaign, harped upon the expenditure of $3,-
000,000 per day, and a debt from one all the
way up to two thousand millions of dollars.
Even now in the face of all these well coined
falsehoods, we still find that a national loan
can find one hundred and eighty-three bidders,
and also with what pleasure tau we r, ad the
names to this list—Banks, Bankers, insurance
offices, Institutions of Charity, private iadividu•
vidnals, all coming up to carry on the war.
Who then shall say that this war is not
popular ? With very few exceptions, the whole
Northern heart is in this putting down of rebel
lion ; the means by which it is to be accom
plished may make a difference of opinion, but
that it should be supprebsed, is the earnest wish
of every heart. Speedy action is what the peo
ple want, and if the Government will act with
energy and let the blows she gives be sharp and
frequent, the people will always be found to
give the money. What is a debt of one or two
thousand millions to such a country as outs ?
The interest can and will be met—the tax rev
enue already overleaps the sum aimed at by
the framers of this tax bill ; the people have
uttered no complaints but cheerfully pay their
taxes. Every one, no matter what his station
in life, feels that he individually owes to his
country some sacrifice ; and the anamoly of a
people cheerfully bearing an onerous burden,
is now being witnessed by the world. Thus,
looking as we do at this receert bid for 7-80's,
we cannot but claim that this is a great victory
for the Government. Schisms have arisen ;
sharp words have been used ; but still, although
„ the head be heated, it clearly proves that the
'tart is right. •
Foreign countries and crowned heads may
carp and sneer at our republican institutions,
but with all their many tirades against us, we
can point at this recent subscription, as the
outwelling of an overcharged heart Interest
and policy may say patch up a peace ; but hon
or, integrity truth, and love of country says in
thunder tones, no! The verdict of the North
is our country, our whole country, and nothing
but our country. Factious politicians, the
demagogues of Democracy have brought this
issue upon us; and now that thatissue is made,
and the people in the contest, they sink away in
fear at the very turmoil they have raised, and
cry peace, peace! "We want no peace, and
least of all, such peace as they would give us."
They pushed the country almost to the abyss of
ruin, and in very fear would make the fatal
plunge.
Shame on any man, who thrusts his politics
now before his country. Honest and earnest
difference in opinion ought always to have
sway, but when that sway is accomplished, all
other thoughts than crushing out this unholy
rebellion, should be banished from the mind.
211 E GRAND JURY REPORT.
We print with our synopsis of the preceedings
of court, to day, the report of the Grand Jury.
Beside the ordinary topics discussed and re
ported by this document, it contains a sugges
tion of the highest importance at this time.
In compliance with the authority contained in
an act of Assembly, the county has borrowed
certain sums of money for the purpose of pro
viding for the wants and the necessities of the
families of men who are absent fighting the
battles of the country. For the prompt pay
ment of this money, the Grand Jury wisely sug
gest the immediate assessment of a tax of 3}
mills. By this prompt recommendation, and
by the equally prompt action of the commis
sioners, it is calculated that the economy and
credit of the county will both be promoted. It
will exempt the county from the payment of
any considerable interest, and re-imburse our
creditors with a promptness which of course
must increase our credit in the money market.
The people expect that the Commissioners will
loose no time in acting on this suggestiOn, so
as to give it imlnediate Kactical force and effect
SLAVERY THE CAUSE -- DEMOCRACY
THE INCENTIVE OF TREASON.
The people of the whole world, and more par
ticularly the people of this country who are
really and fervently loyal, are sincerely con
vinced that slavery was the cause and Democ
racy is now the encouragement of ,the slave
holders' rebellion. The proof of this is spread
over the history of the Union, in the wrongs
which slavery has inflicted on the government,
and the excesses of which Democracy has been
guilty in contributing to the extension and pro
tection of slavery. If slavery had not existed,
there never would have been a motive for de
stroying the Union—and if there had never
been an organization to take refuge in the noble
name of Democracy, there never would have
been an encouragement afforded to arm for the
efence of slavery by the destruction of a gov
ernment founded on free principled. The slave
holders of the south were the first to discover
that either slavery or freedom would have to
give way to the progress and the settlement of the
states and territories of the Union. The Dem
ocratic leaders were the first to make a clear
issue on this subject, when they used their power
to advance the interests of the institution of
slavery. History proves this, if it proves any
thing. The Democratic party when in power,
never had a policy but what was impregnated
with the interests of slavery. All its measures
tended to the degradation, in a national and
political light, of the interests of free labor, or
the elevation, in the same light, of the interests
of the institution of slavery. So persistent have
been the Democratic leaders on this subject,
that, regardless of their oaths, a Democratic
President and his Cabinet actually armed and
equipped the first traitor at my, gave ships and
material to the first traitor navy—and secretly
if not openly encouraged the traitors to march
to and seize the federal capital, as soon as astern;
of the said administration had expired.
The identication of modern Democracy with
the slave-holders' conspiracy is as clear as is
their present identity with the open, bloody and
revolting assaults of the rebels on the govern
ment. While history preserves the record of
the outrages of this rebellion, it will also con
tain the proof of Democratic association with
its origin and . precipitation. We might as well
attempt to separate the action and excuse the
ingratitude) of Brutus in contributing to the
death of Caesar, as essay to deny the influences
of the Democratic leaders in the slave holders'
rebellion. All the blood, all the life, all the
waste of treasure, all the desolation, all the
present and future suffering, the agony, the re
morse, the shame and the crimes of this rebel
lion must and will be justly ascribed to the
leaders and the influences of the Democratic
party.
—lf there had been no Democratic organization,
with its attendant corruptions, plunderings, tyrannies
and abasements, slavery long aim would have been
extinguished. IF WEBB RAD BEEN NO SLAVERY
THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO REBELLION. Such
will be the verdict of posterity.
GOV. CUMIN AND GEN. M'CLELLAN.
A Centre county correspondent, a gentleman
of high business repute and influence, in writing
on business to this office, expresses great regret
and surprise concerning a rumor which has
reached his locality, to the effect that Gov.
Curtin had taken "high ground against the
President for the removal of Gen. McClellan,"
and further that we "offer some explanation of
the fact, or deny the rumor, lilt has no founda
tion." "Rumors" in regard to officials are so
plentiful, and the sources whence they emanate
so prolific, that we almost shrink from any allu
sion to the one to which our correspondent
alludes, for fear that the fact of an attempt at
explanation might lead to the inference that
there was really some foundation on which to
rest this report. In justice t'> Gov. Curtin, how
ever, we must publicly declare that, so far as our
own knowledge extends, the only " high
ground" which he has taken during this strug
gle, has been that of unflinching and unwaver
ing support of the National Administration In
its efforts to crush rebellion. When Gen. Mc-
Clellan was made the leader of our armies, Gov.
Curtin gave him a support such as was not ex
celled by any other state Executive in the coun
try. When popular opinion turned against that
officer—when his failures created doubts as to
his fitness to command, and his delays raised
questions as to his qualities to lead, Gov. Curtin
still supported 3en. McClellan, simply because
be deemed it indiscreet and unfair then to assail
an officer who was before the enemy. But when
it was resolved on to remove Gen. McClellan,
and the duty to do so became part of a policy
to restore the union and preserve the country,
Gov -Curtin neither took "high ground against
the ?resident," nor has he manifested any great
chagrin at an act in which every really loyal man
acquiesces. Gov. Curtin looks beyond men in
this mighty struggle. He has not labored al
most two years that military aspirations alone
should be pandered to and succeed. His efforts
have been for his whole country, and that its
unity may be preserved would doubtless semi
flee even greater men than George B. McClellan.
Without any particular authority, for re
plying, this is the only answer which we can
vouchsafe to our Centre county correspondent.
GBH. HOOKER IN THB ANTIETAM BATTER
"This is one of the great days of the world,"
said Gen. Hooker to the intrepid Berry, as , he
rode by on the morning of the battle of An
tiet4m. "The southern rebellion lies coiled up
in that valley, and it should be to-night in our
power." Hooker and McClellan differed, or
"Little Mao" failed to comprehend things as
Hooker comprehended them.
Tag DA Daseats of certain of the Democracy
consist of visions of the defeat of Burnside. If
they can manage to have Burnside and his en
tire army cut to pieces, it would be such a glo
rious vindication of Little Mac, and so telling
against the Administration. Such are the
hopes and the ends of modern Democracy.
Tns PRMANT is busily engaged in the pre
paration of his annual message•. .The document
will present a clear and concise summary of
the events of the past year, and a view of the
present condition of affairs ; arid it is now well
understood that Mr. Lincoln will take 'Strong
grounds in favor of emancipation.
PennoVitlama Mail)) ittlegtapb, ititrap Morning, Nougmber 21, 1862
THE Govenzanurr has made arrangements to
redeem all postage stamps in circulation, not-
withstanding its notices forbidding their use as
change. This redemption will be made in post
age currency and Treasury notes, as soon as the
postage currency is sufficiently abundant to
prevent further purchases of stamps for change.
If the redemption were commenced immedi
ately, stamps would be bought for the sole pur.
pose of exchanging them for currency and spec
ulating therewith. But this evil of speculation
will soon be remedied by the abundance of
postage currency, and the public should take
care that they accept no kind of change but
naiad will be redeemed by the government.
Postage stamps are money, and will be re
deemed, but the same cannot be said of any
private shinplasters.
The capacity of the government for issuing
postal currency has from to-day been increased
to ninety thousand dollars per diem. One
hundred and eighty thousand dollars per week
is distributed in the States of New York, Con
necticut, Vermont, and eastern New Jersey.—
Over seventy-five thousand dollars is distributed
in New Node city. This currency must soon
become so abundant, that its circulation will
drive from use all the shinplaster trash which
is now finding. its way into the market.
TIIE movement of Gen. Burnside's army
goes ou successfully. Gen. Sigel, too, is man
aging his part of the new programme admira
bly. It is thought that the Orange and Alex
andria railroad to Warrenton will be destroyed,
or, at least, the bridges over it burned. As the
entire country below Washington is to be aban
doned for the winter, it is important to.dearoy
all means of communication, so as to make a
new incursion by'the rebels impossible from
Gordonsville.
TUB ILLINOIS SIN/VIOL —lsaac N Morrie has
been proposed for the United States Senator, to
occupy the seat now filled by Mr. Browning.
Mr. Morris was a Douglas democrat, and is
still a loyal man.
WHIN AND BROWN.—Governor Wise is said to
be still living, and still talking of old John
Brown. The Portland Press says be has not
old John's sense, but if we catch him be may
have the said John's last sensation.

THE RAILROAD AND BRIDGE& BEING RE
PAIRED.
SKIRMISH NEAR WARRENTON
It Is probable that Gen. Burnside's army will
be delayed, at least a few days, in the forward
movement on Richmond. The railroads and
telegraph on the line from this point to Fred
ericksburg, which were destroyed by the rebels
before they evacuated this region, will have
to be rebuilt, and this will consume, unfortu
nately, some valuable time. The bridge from
Falmouth to Fredericksburg, across the Rap
pahannock, and also some other bridge! of
minor importance, will have to be rebuilt.
However the Government has plenty of hands
at work repairing these damages, and I hope to
be able, in a day or two, to chronicle that all
is remedi d and that the army in fall force has
commenced its march for Richmond.
WARELINOTON, Nov. 20. —lnformation from the
Army of the Potomac to-day states that the
rebel cavalry recently approached Warrenton
to reconnoitre, but General Pleasanton, with his
cavalry, gave them a severe check near that
place.
Accounts from Falmouth, dated to-day, state
that during yesterday afternoOn the enemy's
pickets were scattered along the bank of the
Rappahannock, and convened freely with our
own, but no firing took place.
Only one small camp of the enemy was visi
ble from . Falmouth last night.

STERLING'S AMBROSIA
FOR THE HAIR.
AHANDSOMRHEAD OF HAIR is a crown
of glory. With proper care and culture
it will last as a protection to the head as long
as tire nails do to the fingers, or the eyelashes
to the eyes. STEALING'S AMBROSIA is the only
article yet discovered that will bring about the
desired results. It is a preparation the result
of science and experiment; the science point
ing out what was needed, and experiment find
ing the required properties in certain roots, barks,
and herbs. It has consumed a long time in its
preparation, has been tested by persons of most
undoubted reliability in this city, and is by them
pronounced perfect, and the only satisfactory
article, and Is now offered to the public. The
proprietors, determined to give it the most
thorough tests, practical and chemical, and now
certain that it will make the hair grow luxuri
antly on Bald Heads, Preventing Grayness and
Baldness, Reinvigorating and Beautifying the
Hair, rendering it soft and glossy.
Da. Srautuso's AMBROSIA is a stimulating,
oily extract of roots, barks, and herbs, and,
aside from its neatness, permanency, and gloss,
it is medically adapted to preserve and add to
the beauty of the hair. The only article yet dis
covered that teal Cure the Disease of the Scalp, and
cause the Bair to Grow.
CERTIFICATES
This is to certify that about eighteen months
ago, I commenced using STERLING'S AMBROSIA.
My hair was short, thin and rapidly falling out.
I had tried many Hair Tonics, Invigorators, &c.,
without receiving any benefit. Soon after using
the Ambrosia, my hair ceased falling out, and
commenced growing so rapidly as to astonish
me. Now my hair is thick, soft, and glossy,
and is five feet four inches in length—when let
down, reaching to the floor. This wonderful
result I attribute solely to the use of STERLING'S
Ammons, as since I commenced using it I have
applied nothing else to my hair.
