Etitgrapt HARRISBURG, PA FRIDAY EVENING, MAY G. 1864 THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT, ABRAHAM LINCOLN. The War Debts. One of the main arguments of the copper head orators and organs, when they are en gaged in assailing the Government, consists of the declaration that the resources and labor of the country mill prove inadequate to the, payment of the "war debts." If this decla ration was made with an honest purpose to warn the nation from any actual extravagance, or to guide those in authority from error, we would in duty bound be compelled to accept the admonition. But the allusion to the war debt, and the charge of extravagance, by the copperhead orators and organs, are indulged in more to destroy confidence in the national credit, than to counsel those engaged in the direction of national affairs, to be discreet in the management of its finances. If the copi*- head leaders can.bring disaster to our finances, defeat to our armies will naturally follow. Hence the persistent effort to decry the credit and reproach the financial operations of the Government. But while we are constrained ; to despise these petty plots of our political opponents to circumvent the Government in all its efforts to - put an end to the slave holders' rebellion, we must take . counsel of ourselves, and jealously guard not only the national credit, but the credit of our wards, cities, boroughs, townships and emmties.— It is not the debt of the National Gov ernment that should appal or, even for a mo ment, startle any man, as every dollar of that apparently immense expenditure was disbursed for a just and a necessary purpose. When the war is over the National Government will derive a revenue.from its trade with Europe and the sale of its public lands, which will be ample to meet the interest of our debt, and eventually cancel the whole indebtedness.— A.ud beside all this, we have a right to expect that the sale of the confiscated lands of trai tors will contribute largely to the liquidation of the public debt, so that in reality we have no reason to apprehend danger or financial depression from the liabilities of the National Government. The Nation is capable of car rying millions of indebtedness without esteem ing it a burden. But while the Nation is thus able to incur debt, it becomes a question whe ther the different municipalities, townships, and counties in the country are not unwisely adding to their indebtedness, and whether from this indebtedness, great suffering will not eventually follow. Wards, cities and counties have been exhibiting their munificence to such a degree that it is now impossible to conduct the most ordinary operations in favor of the Government, without expending large sums of money. Indeed, by a sort of system which no one will want shortly to father, and from the responsibilities of which we are sure to suffer, every man has been taught to believe that there is money—nothing but money vast and incalculable sums of lucre in the service of the Nation. With the knowledge that the expense of this war must form a National debt partly to be liquidated by the labor of the land—with the fact that the States are adding to their in debtedness, the extravagance of municipalities is unabated—vast sums are stiltedly appro priated by wards and districts for bounties— great debts are incurred to prevent the opera tion of the draft—and thus the country seems actually to have become insane on the subject of money. The aggregate of these liabilities, and the pressing necessities which will be cre • ated by the' demands for liquidation, will some day become productive of great evil. And what adds to the evil now, is the fact that by all these vast disbursements, a very small share finds its way to relieve the families of the soldiers for whose benefit such appropria tions are made. Of the money which has been expended in bounties, when we calculate the amount which the officers in command of companies and regiments have dishonestly deprived the private soldier, the sums which bounty agents have managed to filch from the veteran and the raw recruit, with the incaleu- lable thousands that have been squandered at the gaming table and among harlots, it will be seen that the object to relieve the soldier's family, in seven cases out of ten', has been a failure. And yet this expense must' some day fall back on the labor of the country. Indeed, it is the embarrassments of such an extrava gance, and not the necessary expen.Ses of the National Government, which constitute the actual burden of the people. The people are amply able to sustain Ole necessary expenses of the National Government, but it is not pos sible for the labor of the country to carry the load of debt which is being created by every municipality in the land. This expansion of credit must result in a disastrous explosion; a result for which the Government will, but really should not, be held responsible. —What we want in order to preserve our financial equilibrium, is more economy in the municipal authorities of _the land,- and -the State and National Governments will, then be able to meet their liabilities Without a show of oppressing the people. But if, whenever a call for troops is made; these municipal au thorities resort to the expenditure of vast sums of money to get soldiers; the debt thus contracted cannot fail to become burdensome. This is a subject of vast importance and iit terest; too important, indeed, for discussion in a single newspaper article. It is one which everyman in each community should seriously examine, and so dispose of as to prevent the recurrence of the waste of money in the fu ture which has so disgraced with extravagance the past few years. Movrsci ix Srnm.. , -We fear General Grant will hardly come up to the military standard of the Potomac - army. A few days since, riding to the front on horseback, in his Awl : ally plain way, met General Ingalls eauing into town in a four-horse field.caniage. It is said they were mutually surprised. We learn that soon after an order was issued prohibit ing the use of. the vehicles - referred to during the future portion of the. coming campaign: is . • , , The Tory Organ and the Tory Lumber- ton Mr. Lumberton retires from the Senate after a full term of marked ability and uselalness.--To- EY ORGAN. Our allusion to the retired tory Senator, Lamberton, yesterday, elicited the above ri diculous attempt at flattery from the Tory Or gan this morning. To such nauseous trash we will, of course, venture no reply ; but we submit it to the decision of those who were daily present during the late session of the Senate, and we offer the record in proof, to show that the, utterances and the votes of Lamberton were alike treasonable to the coma try aria diagraceful to the ComthonVealth.— From the hour .of the meetingto,the noon of the adjournment iattheAernAte, Senator Lum berton took every opportunity, and made his beSt efforts to sham that he was ati enemy of the country—a foe to the national authority, and a Mend to those in rebellion. We doubt if any Senator in the .Legislatures of any of the revolted States, would hemean himself in the use of language such as Lamberton gloried in applying to the Federal Government. He was not only the maligner of the men vested with nationel authority, but he was the active traducer of the heroes who are periling their lives in the national defence. He not only re- fused to recognize the power and the right of the Federal Government to crush the rebellion by armed force, but he ridiculed the efforts of ,the '‘rand'sillirof the North" to conquer and overthrow the chivalrous conspirators of the South. Yet this a course of action which the Tory Organ describes as being of " marked ability and usefulness ! " Certainly it WEIS " able and " useful, " .as Seriator Lamberton intended that it should be, to the slave-driving, cu'.-throat Monies of his Col(7lfry! GEORGE SAIthERSON, the editor of the Lon easter Intelligeneer, having . assailed General Cameron with. Improvok - ed brptality, our friend Geist, of the Evening Express, thus sharply replies: Don t Like It !—The Intelligence) . seems to have been severely wrenched by the aPpoint ment of General Simon Cameron as Chairman of the Union State Central Committee, and thereupon warns its readers to ‘'look out for greenbacks !" The editor of the home organ of Mr. Buchanan has good reason to know that Gen. Cameron will make a most active and efficient chairman, and that under hiS auspi ces the approaching campaign will' be con ducted in such a manner as to give the oppo nents of honest Old Abea hard road to travel. 'When Gen.. Cameron undertakes to do a thing, he does it Well, and none know this fact bet ter than his political opponents. 3311 Teregrapli. THE GRAND ARMY.

Culpepper, Jacobs', Germania and Ely's Ford. No rebels were seen, except a few pickets, who :retired as we advanced. - If Lee - intends - to -make a Stand this side of Richmond, it is,possible he may be met near the old battle-ground of Chancel lorsville, but it is the general impression that he has fallen back, from his^ position on the Rapidan to Richmond, in order to protect that city from the formidable force now march ing upon it from the rear, and which is as likely to strike on one side of the James river as the other. Culpepper is being strongly fortified, and will be used as a depot for stores. It is reported here to-day that a strong col umn of troops under Gen. Conch and ,Sigel are msvpiling from 'Winchester up the She-, nandoahValley as a co-operating coltrm, des-, tined eventually to cut the Virginia and Ten nessee Railroad, while Butler's force, or part of it, strikes the other railroad at or near Pe tersburg, thus severing all railroad COMMII-' nications between Richmond and the South. Gen. - Butler took the field in person at the head of the army on the Peninsula yesterday, and his host is marshaled by such leaders as W. F. Smith, Gilmore. Terry and Godfrey Weitzel. The movement assumes au eq)editionary, character. An immense fleet of transports, and a strong squadron' of monitors and gun boats will convoy it up one of thoseslaroad rivers to the gates or to the back door of Rich moild, and perhaps the iron-clads may once more try the strength of the rebel. batteries that line the James, the Pamunkey and the Rappahannock. The feeling prevails that there is 'desperate work before this army. But there - is nerve and• strength for it, The ircin-clads lie in the still waters oft Newport's News, and the fleet of gunboats are in communication with nein. All the auguries are favorable. STCOND DISPATCH WASHINGTON, May 5. A dispatoh from Lieut.-Gen. Grant to• one of the Generals here, says that forty-eight hours would determine whether he was to hiye battle on the Rapidan, or whether under the works round Richmond.

General Grant has issued an order calling the attention of officers to general orders of 3862, providing for the issue of common w:.11 or Sibley tents. When troops refuse to accept shelter-tents they will not be furnished with any. Wroops in garrison, at stations, or ou detachments, can construct huts, if they pre fer them to shelter-tents. Quartermasters are prohibited from issuing, tents other than the kind provided, no matter by whom requi-A tions are approved, or by whose orders issues are directed to be made, until otherwise or dered through the -Adjutant General of the army. Any one who shall issue, or direct the issue of tents other than as prescribed, will be tried by cotut martial, or reported.for sum mary dismissal.

Butlers army was in Motion,'aided by mini kin and gunboat& The column under Couch and Sigel were reported to be advancing from Winchester. Sherman's army villa' also moving South in three columns. A telegram from Gen Grant, dated Wednesday, says forty-eight hours would determine whether he was to have a battle on the line of the Rapidan or under the works of Richmond.

The steamer Carroll; from New Orleans on the evening of the 29th, arrived at this port to-night. Advices from Alexandria to the 27th, report that Banks' army Was still there, but, would probably move towards the Mississippi river. Admiral Porter was up the-river some sixty miles above Alexandria, where the Eastport was on a sand bar. Her.ginis had been taken off, and her plating was being removed for the purpose of lightening her off. If this could not be'done, she would be blown up.

OF REPRESENTATIVES - - WA.sumbrox, May 5. - Mr. Garfield • said-that fermi - - -, had - been-de stroyed, etc., but the House had confined themselves to paying only for quartermaster and commissary stores directly taken, and to cases of, claims that have been audited and adjudicated like those of Pennsylvania. Mr. Smith (Kentucky) advocated the pend ing amendment. Ninety z nixte out of a hun dred of those who were called out in his State were taken from the plough, the anvil, the shop and machine works. Why should there be delay. in 'their payment and why should not the claims be paid ai they are adjusted, without causing the claimants to wait a year or more? • Mr. Hall (Missouri) explained the reason why a commission was appointed concerning the home guard of Missouri. They Were neither Mustered into the service of Missouri or the. United States, but went into service in defiance of law under a pressing emergency. In the case now before them,, there was no occasion for a commission for 'the militia of pennsylvania, which were regdarly entered into the service and the State baying produced the proper youehers. Messrs. Wade and Gooch, theaub committee appointed by joint committee on the conduct and expenditures of the war, with instructions to proceed to such points as they might deem necessary for the purpose of taking testimony in regard to the massacre Of Fort Pillow, sub mitted their report to, the joint committee, together with acdompanying testimony and papers. Although your committee were in strueted to inquire only in, reference to the attack, capture and massacre at Fort Pillow, they have deemed it proper to take some tes, tirnony in refelence to the'operations of For rest and his command immediately preceding and subsequent to that terrible transaction., It will. appear from testimony thris taken that. the atrocities committed at Fort Pillow were, not the result. of passions excited, by the heat of conflict, but were results of. a po licy deliberately decided upon and unhesi tatingly announced. Even if the uncertainty of the fate of those' officers and men belong ing to colored regiments, who have heretofore been taken prisoners by the rebels, has failed to convince the authorities of our government of this fact, the testimony herewith submitted must convince oven the most skeptical that it is the intention 'of iebel authorities not to recognize the officers and men of our colored regiments as entitled to the treatment ac corded by all civilized'natione to prisoners of war. The declarations of Forrest and his officers, both before and after the capture of_Fort -Pil low, as testified by such of our men as have escaped, after being taken byhim; the threats contained in the various demands for surren der made at Paducah, Columbus and other places, the renewal of the' massacre, the morning, after the capture of Port Pillow, the statements made by the rebel officers to the ,officers of our gunboats; who received the few survivors at Fort Pill Ow—all this proves most conclusively the policy they have determined to adopt. • ;1 The operations of the , enemy at Paducah were characterized by the same bad faith and treachery that seem to have °become the set tled policy of Forreskand his, command. The flag of truce was taken advantage of there, as elsewhere, to secure desirable positions which the rebels were unable to obtain by fair and honorable means, and also to afford oppor tunities for plundering private as well as gov ernment property. , At Paducah, the rebels were , guilty of acts more cowardly if possible than any they have practiced elsewhere. When the attack was made, the officers of the fort and of the gun boats advised the women and children to. go down to the river for the purpose of being taken across out of danger. As they were leaving the town for that purpose, the rebel sharpshooters mingled with them, and shield ed by their presence, advanced and fired upon the gunboats, wounding some of our officers and men. Our forces could not return the fire without endangering the lives of the wo men and children. The rebels also, placed women in front of their lines as they moved on the fort, and were prweeding to;take posi tions while the flag, of truce was at the fort, in order to compel our men to withhold theirfire out of regard for the lives 'of the women who were made use of in this most cowardly manner. • - The committee rose, when the question was stated on the passage the, bill which appro priates seven hundred thousand dollars to reimburse individuals and institutions who. , advanced moneyto pay Pennsylvania soldiers called out by the proclamation of the Presi dent and the Governor of Pennsylvania to repel the rebel invasion by the forces under Gen. Lee, in the spremer of 1863, and who were in actual service of the United States, provided no part of the money shall be paid to any militia, of any, State Who refused to be mustered into the service of the United States. Mr. Spalding moved to lay the bill on the table, which was carried by a vote of 66 yeas to 60 nays. The House, by two majority, refused. to lay on the table a. Aiotion to reconsider tlie vote by which the bill was. defeated. Mr. Robinson moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill was tabled. Mr. Spalding moved today Mr. Robinson's motion on the table, which was decided in the negative by three majority. The House glen ,reconsidered the vote by which the bill was tabled; 67 againit 57. Mr. Schenck moved to refer the bill to the Committe on Military affairs, which was disa greed to by a vote of 54 yeas to 80 nays. The question now came up on the passage of the bill as giien ,above---appropriatimg $700,000 for the Pennsylyania militia, &c. It was amended by appropriating $1.5,A00. to de fray the expenses of other loyal. States in re pelling raid.s. Mr. Morrill moved to lay the bill on,the table, which was decided in the negative, yeas 59 nays 78. • • The bill was then passed by a vote of 71 yeas against nays. Mr. Morrill (Vermont) Moyed that the even ing session be dispensed with until further orders, leaving the House to adjourn at such hour as it nay see fit. Mr. Gooch, from the Committee on the Conduct of the ; Was, made a report on the Fort Pillow massacre. Mr. Gooch moved that forty thousand copies be printed. The House then adjoinsied.

But it was threatened for a time early this morning by seventy mounted men, under M'Neill, of West Virginia, who came in at Piedmont, 28 miles west of Charlestown:and, after cutting the telegraph wires, burning several cars, running half a dozen locomotives off the track, and frighten ing the women and children badly, left as suddenly as they appeared, in tear of the ap proach of Gem Kelley and his detachment, 'gathered up at Cumberland and New Creek, who sallied out promptly in search of the _marauders. No passengers or freight were injured or captured, and all the trains arc running regu larly. The wife of Major General Wallace was on the eastward passenger train, and the daughter of General Schenck were on that bound West ; but fortunately with other passengers, they escaped molestation. To prevent a repetition of these raids, a very large force of Ohio volunteers has already repaired to the scene, by order of the Secre tary of War and Governor Brough, and the toad is now amply protected.
