H. THOMAS, Chairman Dauphin county Union Committee. Attest : S. S. CHILD, Secretary. The Sanitary and the Christian Cora missions. We have been a iatient observer of the ope rations of the Sanitary •and the Christian Commissions, and have frequently been con strained to admire the zeal with which the representatives of both organizations have pursued their pectiliar objects. But, of late, we are sorry to confess a spirit of rivalry has sprung up between these organizations, out of which evil must accrue to one or both, as no rivalry can be conducted. without injury really to one of the contesting parties. EivaTly in its broadest or most contracted sense, means a contest with an opponent, a contest which is not a success until that opponent is defeated, injured or destroyed. which the public to infer, then, that , the rivalry which begins to crop out in the operations of the, Christian and _the Sanitary Commissions, is to result in--the de , struction of one or both of thes6 associations? Ar_e—WO--ter actept the. jealousy which marks the intercourse of the members of these orders, as the evidence that the efforts of both are directed to the achievement of other pur 7 poses than the holy work of ministering to the comforts of the body and the great needs of the soul of the soldier? There is room enough for both societies to test to the utmost, their capacities for good. There is work abundant for the active men and women in both' Com-. missions, and if all concerned, are conscien tious in the duty which they have imposed upon themselves, there will be no time left for rivalry or the cultivation of jealousy. No one will for a moment question the herculean task undertaken by the Sanitary, or refuse to respect the holy mission of those engaged in the Christian Commission. But all good men should and will frown upon any attempt at a rivalry which must result in injury to either commissions. The representatives of both commissions are merely the disbursers of the funds afforded by the liberality of the people to relieve the sick and the dying soldier. They are supposed to meet on the battle field and in the hospitals—where the soldier is found mangled and bleeding. Would it be well for the agents of the public to show their spile to each other in such a locality and before our heroes as they are gasping in the agonies of death? We think not, and we still believe that the good sense of the members of both the Sanitary and Christian Commissions will impel them to put an end to the rivalry which must injure one or both, if not induce the public to disburse the money through other agents! —We make these obiervations on our own responsibility; and we feel that the great pub lic will bear us out in the declaration that the spirit of rivalry to which we allude, has a tendency rather to degrade than, to elevate the objects of the men and women who thus allow their jealousy to control their feelings. The sick and wounded soldier needs all the "creature comforts" and all the prayers that both commissions can bestow. Before an other moon can wax and wane, in all proba bility a wail will come from the Potomac for succor to the body and prayer to the soul. And when these appeals do rouse us for ac tion, will we be better fitted for the labor— will the members of the Sanitary and Chris tian Commissions be better fitted for their work, if their hearts Fare filled with bitter jealousies of each other? We frankly submit these questions to the generous men and wo men concerned, and leave the subject entirely for their consideration, with the simple re mark that no work of good was ever accom plished unless its labor was controlled by a spirit of love and forbearance. Grant and Lee. The two great opposing leaders, with their immense forces, Grant and Lee, cannot be held at bay much longer, if they have not al ready actually encountered. Whether they will meet in the open field, there to decide the existence of the confederacy, or whether Grant will be compelled to batter down the fortifications behind which the rebels are crouching like wild beasts, is no longer a question of doubt. It is settled, so far as all the information we can receive ou the subject goes, that Lee will not trust his army in an open fair fight with Grant. The question then arises whether Grant really intends to attack the Rebels behind their intrenchments. The length of time required to batter down and carry fortifications, however much of an adept in that line -the Lieutenant-General has proven himself, renders it a somewhat tedious matter. He may not be as strongly in _ favor of that mode of warfare as his feYerish activi ty would , indicate. Another pject .might, perhaps, in this view of affairs, be advanced with considerable plaiipibility, Grant's line may be intended only as a force to prevent any possibility of the advance of the rebels beyond their defences, while the Army °Me Cumberland, moving with heavy force O'n a line .sonth of . the Virgielit'and `TeuneeSee Railway, would; soon convnicelhe rebels that -their entrenchments kwere '.poorly calculated :to protect them froin the attack of ail Generaljn the rear. ThiS view of the matter is only one of conjecture, and incidental among the-scores of speculations relative to the opening campaign. Xction There is a deep - feeling n,pw pervading the public mind, which folds expression in the demands on all sides, for action, prompt an& decisive ACTION on. the'part of Congress 'and those in command of our armies. Much Cam plaint has been made against the Administra tion for allowing itself to drift, in which Com : . plaint members of Congress have freely joined. IS not Congress at least equally open to the charge of wasting time, and drifting along waiting for some external impetus to decide its coursenpein man, grave questions ? It is now in the fifth Month of the session, and the "heated term," both of the political campaign and of the siunmer sun, is near at hand—a season net favorable for deliberate legislation. It is time for Congress to act ! It has been drifting too long! Let the press, the organ of the people, rain snch a.storm as shall drive it rapidly in the right direction. The finances of .the country demand taxation without stint and without delay. The honor of the country demands justice for its colored soldiers, and organized protection for the, four millions' of Freedmen. True economy calls for every practical means to fill up and keep full our armies, during the approitehing active season. One soldier ; now. is worth three next Deceic bar! A prudent forecast requires such provi sion for the continued increase: of our navy, as will best secure us against foreign interven tion. The amendments to our Constitution, giving freedom to the slave and making our Declaration of Independence complete, effec tive and vital, remains, to be passed. Mea sures for effecting all these and other pressing objects are before Congress; some ;have lain dormant in one or the other House, after' having been _fully discussed and 'perfected. a Caution is good quality ; but after five months' consideration it ie 'time to act, and it is better to make some mistakes than to hesitate longer. . . . The voice of the people,. and the necessities of the hour, demand prompt, vigorous action Now, before we approach too near the vortex of the Presidential Campaign. Shifting the Responsibility. We find the following embreced . in a special dispatch - from Washington to the Philadelphia Evening 'Telegraph. It is in 'reference to the Pennsylvania Resertie Corps: But they [the Reserves] did deliberately con tract with the Government for three years' service, and it would seem as if there was nothing for them to do butto stick-to the bar gatn manfully, 'and to look to theii State au thorities and their own officers for any satis faction they may crave for not having the two months they had served in Pennsylvania al lowed upon and deducted from the time for which it was notorious that the United States alone made contracts with soldiers. —What we particularly desire to notice in the above is the studied effort to hold the State authorities responsible for a condition of affairs, in the muster of the Reserves„ which, while they existed, Gov. Curtin was using every effort to have changed. The Re serves DID NOT DELIBERATELY enter the service for VII= YEARS when they consented to leave the service of the State and enter that of the National authorities. They merely entered the service of the National authorities, with out any deliberate understanding on the sub ject, because it was at a period when there was little time for deliberation. But it is now settled that the original muster of the=-Re serves is to be reeognized, and the term ;of three years'• service computed from the time of the State muster. And as those who . are opposed to the State Administration attempted to hold Gov. Curtin responsible for this act of injustice threatened the Reserves, it would be only fair for the same parties to publish the fact that the BeseiTes Were righted on the subject alone by his efforts. Were Negroes and Othersl_ Massacred .at Fort Pillow' The Richmond papers boasted of the mas sacre of negroes and others at Fort Pillow, but as for Plymouth they speak 'regretfully that; the soene after the surrender was less san guinary. Tae Ataminer refers to the failure to massacre the garrison at Plymouth as evincing less "thorough work" than at Fort Pillow, from which we conclude that there was no in discriminate massacre. We quote the amt. stee s language :, General Hoke, judging from the large num ber of his prisoners, does not seem to have made such thorough work as that, by which Forrest has so shocked the tender souls and frozen the warm blood of the Yankees; The resistance he encountered was,. probably, not so desperate, and the blood of the victors was not so heated ; though a fortification ctn.ried by storm, the loss of the garrison must inevitably be large. The strict laws of civilized warfare acknow ledge the poWer of the victor, to put all to the sword in such cases. However severe such an example might seem, it would strike a salutary terror in the Yankees, which will be usesful to them iii the end, and their melancholy whine at meeting a part of the punishment their barbarities merit is absurd. The Slate Central Committee We note with great satisfaction, says the Pittsburg Gazette, the - appointment of Hon. Simon Cameron as Chairman of the State Central Committee. It was an appointment eminently fit:to be made, and the President of the .Convention, Hon. G. V. Lawrence, de serves the thanks of the friends of freedom for having made it. Gen. Cameron• is 'well known throughout the State as a warm per sonal friend of President Lincoln,. and his energy, zeal and influence will come well into play -in the position to which he has been as signed. He is the right man - in the right place; and ka hiS 'ftkiohitment we - have the venni ty that the campaign will.be an active, vigor-. • 0118 audiuccessful one.. Pennsylvania Legbaature.

"The state of preparation of the army in General Johnston's front, the removal of a great body of troops from Knoxville and Cleve land to Chattanooga, and the facility with which reinforcements can be thrown from Tennessee and, Kentucky, warn us that we need not be suptibed at - any time to hear that an earnest attempt is being made to break our lines at Dalton, and that a great battle is going on."

C WASHWGTON, May 2 The Richinowl Examiner, of April 29th says: "We "have again rumors of an impending battle on the Georgia and .Tennessee lines. The opinion in that part of the Confederacy appears to be that the enemy is to make a grand effort for a successful campaign in that quarter, but while there is much stronger ev idence that an effort is to be made in the di rection of Richmond, it must be recollected that this theory by 'no means excludes the probability that an important issue is also to be tried in North Georgia. The enemy has no army there which is formidable,iii numbers and discipline. It-possesses one great advan tage which the. enemy has not in Virginia— the impregnable fortifications of Chattanooga upon which to fall back. in case of disaster. XXVIEttli Congress---First SCSSiOR HOUSE OF E.E.P.RESENTATITES EVENING SESSION. • WASVINGTON, May 2 The bill to guarantee a republican govern ment to States subverted or overthrown by. the rebellion was under consideration. Mr. Dennison (Pennsylvania) was opposed to the bill under consideration. It was pro posed at a time wheri we have not the power, even if we had the right, to re-organize a sin gle State. The States had been treated as if they had no reserved rights. All State con stitutions had been trampled upon and placed at the mercy of the war power. A solemn act had been passed to protect military agents against any crimes they may think proper to commit. The last vestige'of the State rights and the protection of the citizens, together with all other powers, are sought to be cen tralized in the General Government. This he was not prepared to sanction by his vote.— The bill was intended to legalize and perpet uate, the Constitutional proclamations of the President. It had been said that slavery must be eradicated in order to preserve per manent peaces but this was'the cry of unre lenting and cruel fanaticism; it was an effort on the part of the strong to justify their attack on the weak. ' - ; Mr. Stevens (Penna.) . repeated the points heretofore made by him, namely: That the rebels were entitled to no rights under the Constitution and laws, and could invoke the aid of neither in their behalf—that they were to be treated during the war as belligerents according to the laws of war of nations—that they could claim.no other right than those of foreign nations with whom we are at war, and are subject to all the liabilities of loreign bel ligerents—that their real and personal proper ty may be taken to pay the expenses of the war, and to relieve the wounded soldiers and the families of the fallen; while the innocent should be spared, the naorallyaitd emphatical 1y guilty should be punished. He proceeded to reply.to the attacks which have been made ,upon these positions, argrdng from the crimes of the belligerents, that we are justified in exacting the extreme demands of war. The people are the absolute sover eigns. There isno government independent of these sovereigns, when• they make an un just war. All their property, both public and private, is subjected to forfeiture. The con federate States are a republic, however bad may be the sovereigns, and speak for the tire people. This view he illustrated, • and said to allow them to return with their pro perty untouched would be rank injustice to loyal men. If, as has been contended, they are in the Union, where are their ; represents- tivee ? We are Making. war upon them for going out of the Union without law; and they should never ttgttin be received, until they re pent and re-baptized into the National UniOn. . : , • S.ENATE - - - .

HOUSE OE EEPEESENTATEVES. IV...:IaxGToN, 1E0.3-3 Mr. Schenck - , 01, ) from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported a bill providing that on and after the Ist of May next, the pay of privates in, the army, shall be increased from thirteen to sixteen dollars a month, and that often-commissioned officers as follows: Cor porals, eighteen. dollars; Sergeants, twenty dollars; Orderly Sergeant, twenty-four dol lars; Sergeant Major, twenty-six dollars per month. Clerks, and paymasters, salaries, twelve hundred dollars per annum, etc.. 71r. Schenck moved the previous question, and was about to explain the bill, when Mr. Cox :Ohio) asked his colleague to withdraw the demand so as to allow him to amend the bill by increasing the pay of private soldiers to eighteen dollars per month, and noh commissioned officers to twenty dollars ; even .hit would hardly be enough to keep pace with the increase of the price of the necessa ries of life for the families of the soldiers.— His (Mr. Coi'S) friends on the other side of the House offered this in good faith. Mr. Schenck declined to comply, having been instructed by his committee to urge the present bill. - Mr. Dawson (Pennsylvania) appealed to Mr. :Schenck-. He was chairman of the Demo cratic caucus, and desired to offer what that caucus had agreed to offer for the soldiers. Mr. Schenck replied, that if the Democratic mittens were more, numerous than the Union caucha they 'could' vote down the motion for the previous question. Mr. Schenck proceeded to explain the bill ; both the Senate and House have acted upon the propoaition to equalize the pay of the white and eolored soldiers. The committee on military affairs had prin. cipally confined themselves to the increase of pay. In the course of his remarks, he said it was proposed to amend a former law so that offi cers- may have leavt of absence for causes other than sickne - is or wounds, without de duction of pay and allowances, and that the absence shall not exceed thirty days in any one year. The ration of 1861 is restored, making a reduction of $139 a month. This took away nothing essential to the soldier's comfort and subsistence, tun' gave him sup plies equal to those of any soldiers in the world, and twice as much as those of Jeff. Da vis. Ori' the aggregate, the Government will save considerable, while the soldier is paid five or six times aS much in cashes the deduc tion in the increase of his pay. The - bill was passed unanimously—yeas, 135; nays, none. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. EARRVIMINI 134151( r May 3, 3,861.
