FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
Andrew Johnson,
The Call to Arms.
Gov. Curtin's call for twelve thousand volun
teer infantry, to serve for one hundred days
in the entrenchments at Washington, will
meet with a hearty response. There are now
not less than thirty thousand men at home in
the State, who have all had experience and
seen niuch service in the field. Of these, the
twelve thousand just called for, can readily
be recruited, so that when the quota is made
up, it will be composed almost of veteran
troops capable of meeting any emergency that
may occur at Washington. The troops now
holding the fortifications around the National
Capital and elsewlitre" fit that vicinity, are
needed by Gen. Grant. ' The re-inforcement
of Grant is now the important object in view.
Grant's fight with Lee is one of endurance.
Whichtver army is able to hold on longest,
will win the victory. With his communica
tions cut, with the roads over which his sup
plies pass, obstructed or destroyed, famine in
his camp and demoralization in his ranks,
Lea is now, or soon will be in a condition to
offer but a feeble resistance to the vigorous
strokes of Grant. The rebel chiefs have re
solved to risk their existence and the triumph
or defeat of their cause, on the issue of the
campaign before Petersburg and Richmond.
Heti& the necessity of affording Gen. Grant
the advantage of all our available force. Nor
must it be expected that the campaign thus in
vested with importance by the risks which
the rebels are determined to make, will be
one of short duration. If it ends with the
last of the Summer months, its duration may
be estimated al short—and if Grant succeeds
in that time in defeating and routing the rag
ga-muffins and cutthroats who now confront
him, the war will end ante peace once more be
restored to the land. •
What is needed, now, is promptness. The
twelve thousand hundred day men called out
by Gov. Curtin, should be in the field by the
Brat of August, or sooner if posPible, to be
effective. The veterans now at °home, will of
course rally enthusiastically in response to
the call. Pennsylvania did not need this ad
ditional appeal to her patriotism to establish
her valor-and devotion; but she will use it as
a means to show that her undaunted allegiance
to the cause of the Union is as strong and as
fervent as when she first armed fer its defence.
The Tendeoey of the Peace Democracy.
When the slave-holding Democratic leaders
of the South'were secretly engaged in arrang
ing their plans of rebellion, one of the
grounds upon which they based their cer
tainty of success, was the promised aid of
the Northern Demoeratioleaders. The South
was asked merely to make the demonstrations
and the copperheads of the North would do
the fighting—they would vanquish and destroy
'the abolitionists, and thus the enemies of the
country were to have little difficulty in de
feating the constitutional authorities of the
land. But the 4•War Democracy" who had
plighted their faith in the treason of the
South, and who were expected to accomplish
such huge things in alleiation of the afflic
tions of the slave-holding traitors, suddenly dis-
Amend that "war" meant fighting—that hard
hooks and ghastly wonnds were the accom
paniments of encha conflict, and hence the
brave allies who were thus valiantly to en
gage in the cause of slavery suddenly be
come peace men-..PEACE DEMocaarsJ These
hypocrites now elevate their peace proclivities
en high grounds, and will speedily become
the "higher law" party of the country. Hear
what the Selinsgrove Times, a rampant cop
perhead sheet, says on this subject:
There are those, however, who stand upon
a higher plane; whose love of truth and sense
of justice cannot be swerved by any selfish
considerations, and who stand by the right as
firm as the rook of Gibraltar. These men wil
never consent, to bear arms in the cause of
despotism, ladt rather will expatriate them
selves, or, if fight they must, fight on the side
of right and liberty. Let every one, then, act
according to hie sense of right, and if his
sense of right forbids him to take up mins in
a cause that is steeped in injustice, and as
black as the expired embers of Tartarus, let
him refuse to do so whatever fate may await
him.
This is the Democracy that glories in sup
port of the Constitution and laws. Its doc
trine of every man acting towards the Govern
ment as his "sense" may dictate, is of course,
original. Yet it is purely "Democratic," as
Democracy is now expounded by traitors!
• Locoaortio to a recent act of Congress, the
postage on communications relating to official
business in the several Departments at Wash
ington to which they are Wadies 3ed, need not
be prepaid. Hence, small parcels of seeds,
cuttings, roots, can be sent free to the
Agricultural Department. This will doubt-
less add much to the efficiency of the Depart
ment. The repeal of the franking privilege,
Jo far as it refers to any of the Executive De
partments, never should have taken place.
Ow. Cola has been renominated for Gov
armor of Maine. Hon. John B. Brown and
Hon Abner Stetson have been chosen Union
electors of the State at large, The conven
tion at which these proceedings took place,
adopted the strongest possible resolutions in
favor of putting down the war, sustaining the
National Government, and supporting Lin
coln sad gokunon.

Picket-Shooting Stopped by Con
dent Distress in Petersburg.
A letter from the Army of the Potomac,
dated yesterday, says the practice of picket
shooting has been stopped by the mutual con
sent of the parties actually concerned; that
is, the North Carolinians had made such an
engagement, having first secured the appro
bation of -our pickets. Some time since an
order was promulgated throughout the army,
forbidding all intercourse between our pickets
and those of the enemy. It seems to have
had no effect upon the rebel skirmishers, who
avail themselves of every opportunity to cul
tivate the acquaintance of our soldiers, who
chat with them in the evening and fight in the
morning.
Fires are occurring frequently in Peters
burg. They have stopped calling upon the
fire department to assist in conquering the
flames. The firemen now occupy the trenches.
We are at this moment fighting the whole
rebel population.
Every day a regular ration of shells is
im
partially distributed among the various wards
of Petersburg. The right of the sth and 9th
happen to have their line of battle in close
proximity to the rebel works.' This brings
the skirmishers near each other, and the line
is continually embroiled in some little skir
mish.
A refugee and two deserters from Rich
mond, who left there several days ago, repre
sent that. there is great distress for food, ow
ing to the cutting of the rebel means for ob
supplies.

THE REBEL_ RAID.
ATTACK ON MARYLAND HEIGHTS.
Paramour-, July 6.
At six o'clock last evening an attack wa
about being made upon Maryland Heights,
where Gen. Sigel's whole force was concen
trated, and formed in line of battle for de
fence.
ery little information of details of the
?Ingress of the siege of Harper's Ferry and
Maryland Heights could be obtained; oiling
to their being no trains running that far np
the road, and the telegraphoperator not being
in a position to understand the true condition
of affairs, other than the fact that the defence
was obviously successful, in view of the
Heights still being in General Sigel's posses
sion.
It may not be improper to state that what
ever damage the enemy may undertake in
their present movement must be quickly ef
fected, or they will meet such opposition in
forces moving upon them from the West as to
relieve all apprehension about results.
Four railroad trains loaded with Govern
ment supplies, as well as the mail train from
Harper's Ferry that went up on Monday and
was intercepted by Mosby on its return, were
all worked through from Harper's Ferry to
Baltimore successfully yesterday afternoon
without the slightest loss. They were fired
at, however, very spiritedly from the Virginia
side, opposite Point of Rocks.
No damage to the railroad whatever is
known as yet, excepting about thirty feet over
Patterson's - Creek Bridge, six miles east of
Cumberland, on Monday morning, which was
yesterday, entirely repaired for the move
ments about being made over the road to the
Fast. In addition to the movement of troops
from the West heavy reinforcement were yes
terday sent up the road from this side. Gen.
Wallace was at the Relay House superintend
ing and directing their moveMent.
Passengers who arrived hem last night by
the Western Maryland railroad from Hagers
town report all quiet at that city. There
were no arrivals from Cumberland or any
other point west of Hagerstown.
NO SAME YET EST/MATS 'OP THIS REBEL
STRENGTH-GEN. HUNTER COXING EABTWABD.
Later dispatches from Sandy Hook, on the
Maryland side of Harper's Ferry, show that
no engagement had taken place up to nine
o'clock last night, further than picket
firing. The pontoon bridge there had
been taken up, and two spans of the
railroad bridge removed by our troops
on withdrawing from Harper's Ferry.
The rebels had set fire to the Virginia side of
the bridge which was then burning; our men,
in attempting to eidinguish the flames, were
fired upon by sharpshooters In town and com
pelled to desist. There is no rebel force east
of Harper's Ferry, ;except on the Virginia
side at Point of Rifiefis. The road is unob
structed as tar as Sandy Hook. Rumor, but
nothing more, says that , the force of rebels.
opposite Point of Rocks is under command of
General Ross, tech, if true, would imply the
presence there .or'a considerable force, but
this is dotibtfulie4. itt all, eveits we have now
at Point of Rocks a aufflaiffat force to hold
timtany opposing. ibroe likely
to brought against tt.- -
Nothing definite is known as to the strength
or movements of the rebels west of Harper's
Ferry. The largest estimated strength of the
force at Harper's- Ferry is tour thousand, in
fantry and cnvalry. Up to last evening Ha
gerstown was not occupied, nor was there any
rebel force near there. It is known that Gen.
Hunter has reached the Parkersburg road,
and it; inpvillg rapidly eastward.,
CIIKBP.BLLND, July 5.--The rebel raid has
been very destructive upon the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal. We have information here
that the canal has been badly damaged, and
that a number of boats have been burned and
their teams captured.
BA-lin:P.1011E, June, 6, 12-20 P. at.—The mail
train for Sandy Hook below Harpers Ferry,
left this morning as rsual.. Gen. Hunters
forces are r.pidly arriving from the West and
will no doubt soon confront the rebels. The
enemy still retain posseasion of the Virginia
side of Harpers Ferry. Gen. Sigel with his
forces holds Maryland Heights. All indica
tions thus far strengthen the belief that : the
forcewof the enemy do not exceed 6;000- or 8,
000 men and that is simply a plundering ex
pedition. .• ,

The latest intelligence from Harper's Ferry
this morning indicates that the. Confederates
are falling back without attempting any as
sault upon the works of Gen. Sigel. In fact
it is now stated that the force only amounts
to five thousand men under Gen. Imboden,

GEN, WALLACE CO-OPER&TING WITH EIGE
Ample Force at Point of Rocks and Frederick
A gentleman who arrived this morning
from the vicinity of Harper's Ferry, states
that it is now definitely ascertained that the
whole force of the enemy does not exceed five
thousand, of whom less than one-fourth are
cavalry and the balance infantry.
They are concentrating in and around Har-
Peg - Fenn and are fending out parties to
forage on the people, robbing them of even
their watches and money. There was some
skirmishing going on between our troops and
the rebels across the river and occasionally
shot and shell were being thrown at them
from Maryland He:ights.
The fight of COlonel Mulligan with their
advance at LeetoWit is spoken of as most gal
lant. He successfully repulair' ig them several
times.
General Siegel moved towards Shepherds
town with his immense wagon train in front,
the protection of which was deemed °tutors
importance than the risking of a general en
gagement.
Not a wagon fell into the enemy's hands,
and nothing was left behind at Martinsburg
except some oats, which was Set on fire before
. ,
we left.
The impression when . our informant left
vas that the rebel forcs - will retire before to
morrow night, as Gatteral Hunter will be in
their rear by that bike, with' an ample force
to overwhelm them if they remain longer.
The principal object of this raid has prov
ed unsuccessful, unless it be the damage they
have done to the railroad and the canal, the
collection of conscripts and the ;plunder of
the inhabitants. - -
They have not attempted to leave the line
of the Potomac, except to rob OA stores at
Point of Rocks and destroying several canal
boats near Hancock. • -
What damage has been done to the railroad
is not yet ascertained, though it is understood
that they have not retired far beyond Martins
burg.
3 here is no truth in the statement of the
Philadelphia .1; quirer that a rebel force has
been to Boonsborough, or that *aid has been
made on the railroad west of Cumberland.
The following is' the information received
this morning from the office of the Baltimore
and . Ohirailroad at 11 o'clock A.. :
The natal mail train for Sandy Hook oppo
site Harper's Ferry, left this morning . as
usual. Hunter's forced are rapidly moving
from the West in order to flank the rebels.
The enemy still retain posiession of the Vir
ginia side or Harper's Ferry and Sigel is on
the heights which commandlhe Ferry with
.a
large force.
Officers from the Ferry think that all will
be right to-morrow.
General Wallace is co-operating with Gen
eral Sigel and has secured the entire protec
tion of the road as far ss Frederick, which is
now safe from any fear of another rebel visit.
There is an ample force at Point of Rocks
and also at the lower fords, and a sufficient
force has been organized at Fredonia to pre
vent any invasion of that place.
Mr. John'F. Staub, of Martinsburg, arrived
in this city last evening, having left his home
to avoid the 'conscription. He accompanied
General Sigel's wagon trains from Shepherds
town to Frederick, where they arrived in
safety, yesterday morning, not a wagon' or
horse having fallen into the hands of the
enemy.
There were over three hundred wagons in ,
the train, heavily laden. •
